US stocks rise as some tech companies recover
By The Associated Press |
PUBLISHED: May 2, 2016 at 10:22 a.m. | UPDATED: May 17, 2018 at 5:36 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes moved solidly higher Monday afternoon, recovering some of last week's steep declines. Recently battered technology stocks such as Amazon.com and Microsoft all posted gains, helping end a seven-day losing streak in the Nasdaq composite.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 117.52 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,891.16. The Standard & Poor's 500 index added 16.13 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,081.43 and the Nasdaq rose 42.24 points, or 0.9 percent, to 4,817.59.
Notably, one major technology stock that did not participate in Monday's gains was Apple, which closed down 10 cents, or 0.1 percent, to $93.64. Apple has fallen eight days in a row, and has now lost 16 percent of its value in the last two weeks.
Technology stocks have been an unexpected drag on the market in the last week. Apple reported its first quarterly decline in profits in years, which sent ripples through the stock market. Investors have been moving into safer investments. The Dow Jones utility index, a collection of 15 dividend-paying utility companies, is up more than 14 percent this year.
"There's a risk-off sentiment in the market right now," said David Lebovitz, a global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock index fell more than 3 percent overnight as markets there reopened after a holiday. The market fell as Japanese investors continued to react negatively to the Bank of Japan's decision to leave interest rates unchanged. The Japanese yen also continues to climb sharply, which hurts Japanese exporters.
"It's a bit concerning. Investors are beginning to question whether monetary policy can really push Japan's economy forward and generate growth," Lebovitz said.
Among individual companies, Halliburton rose after a $34 billion merger with Baker Hughes was called off following antitrust concerns from the Justice Department. Halliburton rose 74 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $42.05. Baker Hughes fell 96 cents, or 2 percent, to $47.40.
Apollo Education Group, which runs the University of Phoenix, rose sharply after a group of investors raised their bid for the company. Apollo rose 97 cents, or 12.4 percent, to $8.77.
A private survey out Monday showed U.S. manufacturing expanded in April for the second straight month, suggesting that factories are adapting to a strong dollar and economic weakness overseas. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index came in at 50.8 last month, down from March's 51.8 reading but above the threshold of 50 that signals growth.
Benchmark U.S. crude oil fell $1.14 to close at $44.78 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, which is used to price international oils, fell $1.54 to close at $45.83 a barrel in London.
In other energy trading in New York, wholesale gasoline fell 4 cents to $1.56 a gallon, heating oil lost 3 cents to $1.36 a gallon and natural gas dropped 14 cents to $2.04 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Bond prices fell. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 1.86 percent from 1.82 percent late Friday. The dollar slipped to 106.45 yen from 106.73 yen, while the euro strengthened to $1.1523 from $1.1454.
Precious and industrial metals futures ended mixed. Gold rose $5.30 to $1,295.80 an ounce, silver fell 13 cents to $17.66 an ounce and copper lost two cents to $2.26 a pound.


Boeing Co said it invited more than 200 airline pilots, technical leaders and regulators for an informational session on Wednesday, as part of an effort to share details about its plan to support the return of the 737 MAX to commercial service. The meeting is a sign that Boeing's planned software patch is nearing completion, though it will still need regulatory approval. The session in Renton, Washington on Wednesday is part of a plan to reach all current and many future 737 MAX operators and their home regulators, Boeing said in a statement.

How to make the voice of democracy heard? Learn from the Punjab's "Congressional Government"
Amritsar:The Punjab Police have found a unique way to ensure that the voices of the protesters who have raised their voices on their demands reach the ears of CM Charanjeet Singh Channi, who claims to be a popular government in Pan Jab. Punjab Police IG (Special Security) has also written to all police commissioners in this regard.
It couldn't be true! Sacrilege and parody of democracy. pic.twitter.com/f6Z24XZsFJ
– Sunil Jakhar (@sunilkjakhar) December 9, 2021
In fact, Punjab teachers are protesting the 7th UGC Commission implementation request and the state congressional government has found a new way to solve their problems and that is the way to suppress their voice with a another strong voice. The order was shared by former President of the Punjabi Congress Sunil Jakhar himself on Twitter. Jakhar posted the order and wrote: "This cannot be true! An insult and a joke of democracy. The order of the IG of Punjab is written in Gurmukhi script. A Twitter user shared a translation.
pic.twitter.com/19agtERnO3
– MADHUR MANGAL (@MangalMadhur) December 9, 2021
The subject of the translated order reads: "Regarding the security arrangements upon the arrival of the Honorable Chief Minister." The letter reads: "We see that every time the CM of Punjab organizes an event in your districts, two different organizations shout slogans in the path of the CM. Therefore, in the future, whenever the CM takes part in an event in your neighborhood, Dj should be installed in the places where these two organizations express their demands. Dj should be performed with gurbani shabad or religious chants so that their voices (of the protesters) are not heard. '
Tell me, such a decree has never been issued before. The letter is now viral on social networks. The order was first shared by Sunil Jakhar, followed by BJP leader Amit Malviya. He asked CM Charanjeet Singh Channi why he didn't speak to protesting teachers instead of suppressing their voices.
Note – Newstracklive does not confirm the translation of this command.

Writing an Evaluation: Some Tips for You
by Essaylook in Other
On the lessons, teachers often ask to write an evaluation or a review. Review is a written judgment, opinion which contains an assessment of artistic, scientific or popular scientific works. Most often, it is enough to give only the most general characteristics, the most general estimate of the listened or read works without a detailed analysis, but it may also need a thorough analysis of the work with its critical evaluation.
Features of Writing an Evaluation
In the overall evaluation of a literary work, which is accompanied by its partial analysis, be sure to specify the author of the work, where and when this work has been issued, how many pages it has. Also, mention the genre, the main characters, time and place of action. You can include a brief summary. Usually evaluation is presented in the reasoning form. A narration or description can be included. In general, the form of evaluation has much more opportunities for freedom of expression than the review.
Concerning the reviews, here we have a detailed analysis of a literary work. Our goal is to make as much as possible to justify your opinion. You have to include bibliographic description (author of the work, where and when this work issued and the number of pages), a brief description of the creation, creative concept and meaning of work's title. Also, you should add a summary of the content, the relevance of the filed themes. Don't forget that you should define the main idea of the review. A review should be in a rigid form: according to a certain plan, with restrained tone.
A Model Plan for Writing Book Reviews
There is a certain scheme for the construction of every review. It looks like this.
The subject of the analysis;
The relevance of the theme chosen by the author.
The baseline data about the author and the work. What is the author's purpose, what problem he put into the text?
The main part:
What are the content of the work, its main problems?
The evaluation of the content and form of the original text.
Tell about disadvantages. What are they?
Conclusion: the generalized work evaluation.
In a review, you should carefully substantiate your opinions with a deep and reasoned analysis, reference to the original content, form of the work, its basic idea. The reviewer must see and approve the creative personality of the author and their work.
Yet, we shouldn't rigidly adhere to a standard plan. In the review, there may be reflected not all items from the plan, or vice versa: it may include questions that aren't in the schema.
You shouldn't be too carried away by the supporting structures. The cliche is used in cases where students don't know how to criticize at all. You have to realize that the creative work involves, above all, knowledge of the subject of analysis and strong language proficiency. So, the main thing is courage to show your imagination and your own opinion!

Casual worker syndrome to be fought by ICU
Newly elected national executives of the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU-Ghana) have committed to curtail what they describe as the "casualization of workers syndrome".
They have set an agenda to embark on a campaign to draw national attention "to ensure that we liberate a lot of workers in that angle".
Delegates at the 9th Quadrennial Conference of the ICU have elected new executives to steer the affairs of the Union for the next four years.
This year's Conference in Kumasi has been the most peaceful in the history of the Union. The previous congress was marred by a court injunction against election of national officers.
Victor Obeng Adu has now been elected as National Chairman, with Jim Petey-Gyan as Vice-Chairman and Solomon Kotei as General Secretary of the Union.
Others are Emmanuel Baah-Beninah, Deputy Secretary (Administration), Morgan Ayawine, Deputy Secretary (Operations), Emelia Assidi Amadu as First National Trustee and Naomi Nartey as the Second National Trustee.
The new leaders are tasked to seek the welfare of the 75,000 members of the Union in the years ahead.
General Secretary, Solomon Kotei tells Luv News one of ICU's priorities is to curtail the casual worker syndrome within industry.
"From where we come from as ICU, countless number of our members has been thrown into that casual syndrome, especially in the area of factories and banks, where you could note that someone is employed as a casual but he's doing the job as a normal employee, yet he's not remunerated as such", he observed.
Mr. Kotei said the Union will ensure enforcement of provisions in the National Labour Act which stipulates that casual staff are regularized as permanent workers after continuous six months of engagement.
The Union will also partner indigenous entrepreneurs, create forums to promote made-in-Ghana goods and engage interest groups to project locally manufactured products.
The ICU conference holds on the heels of a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) which has identified a widening gap between wage and labour productivity growth.
The ILO's "Global Wage Report 2012/13: Wages and Equitable Growth" states that while the difference between the top and bottom income earners is increasing, and the labour income share is declining, globally.
Mr. Kotei acknowledged wage increment cannot be demanded when productivity is low, hence the need to pursue a win-win agenda in employer-employee negotiations.
"We're going to drive a membership education that will open their eyes to accept the fact and challenge that if we don't become co-owners of the business and ensure that not only are we able to produce and create but making sure that the economic cycle is complete by finding market for what we produce to enable us have the urge to demand what is due us", he emphasized.


The Kenya Cuisine: What Are Original Kenya Food Dishes?
When talking about the Kenya cuisine, one has to remember that Kenya is made up of more than 40 different tribes, all with various histories and traditions. And several parts of Kenya also underwent other influences, such as the coast area where many centuries of Arab invasions have left their marks.
These diverse influences provide a wide range of different foods in Kenya, with some dishes only popular among certain communities.
The foods and dishes of Kenya cuisine are rather simple, since much of the country live in poor rural areas. There are few dishes unique to Kenya, mainly because before Kenya became an independent nation in the 1960s, tribes and communities lived and migrated around the entire eastern African region. As a result, some recipes are common also in Uganda and Tanzania.
Also have a look at my pages with Kenya food recipies.
Ugali is probably one of the most common foods in Kenya cuisine. It's a simple staple made from corn or maize flour and water. Depending on how it is being served, it can be thin like porridge or fairly stiff and doughy. Though it can be eaten with a spoon or fork, it's usually eaten by hand with meat or vegetables, like a bread. Similar dishes are known in the United States as polenta, or grits.
Today, Githeri can be found all through Kenya but the dish was originally eaten by the Kikuyu tribe in the central regions of the country. It's basically corn and beans, usually boiled together. It's served like a stew, usually as a main dish in Kenya cuisine.
Not a specific dish, but rather a way of preparing meat in Kenya cuisine. Nyama Choma means grilled, broiled or BBQ'd meat. It can refer to any kind of meat, though its usually beef, lamb or goat. The famous Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi specializes in all kinds of grilled meats, including local game.
You can find Kachumbari served as either a condiment or a side-dish. There are many specific recipes, but the general dish is made up of shredded onion and cabbage, with tomatoes and peppers. The cold vegetables are tossed in a dressing of lemon juice and coriander. Kachumbari is a common side for Nyama Choma.
A sweet dish of fried dough is a popular breakfast food in many parts of Africa, including in Kenya cuisine. Mandaazi is also eaten as a dessert at other meals. It's a lot like a western style doughnut, though not usually covered with sugar or icing.
The name "Sukuma Wiki" actually translates to "stretch or push the week". It's a dish used to make meals last longer. A pan of kale or other local greens if fried with onion and tomato. Sometimes it's just all simmered together in some water.
For beverages, many Kenyans enjoy tea, sometimes with sweet milk. They use the term "chai" for tea, which shouldn't be confused with the Indian form of spicy tea by the same name. Kenya also has a name for the fine coffee it produces. Kenyans also drink a beverage called Maziwa Lala, made from fermented milk. Locally brewed beer (of which Tusker is the most famous) is also very popular.
Because tourism is so important to Kenya's economy, cities often have many restaurants that cater to various international tastes. Resorts and large hotels usually serve European food more often than African dishes. So a visitor might actually have to search a little to find places that serve authentic Kenya cuisine.


There are times when it isn't?
"At times downright malicious and dishonest." — NSW Shires Association president Bruce Miller, describing the state Labor government.
"We weren't going around telling America to give up its nukes because that's not going to happen." — Former foreign minister Alexander Downer on why the Howard government was silent about nuclear disarmament.
"None of them are a bunch of peaceniks, none of them." — PM Kevin Rudd on Henry Kissinger and other US warmakers who issued a call for nuclear non-proliferation (i.e., maintaining the current monopoly of such weapons).
"When presented with such willingness on the part of the Australian government, we wanted to be very proactive in responding to that." — Katsuaki Watanabe, president of Toyota, expressing appreciation for a $35 million handout from the Rudd government.
"Because of the time and effort devoted to the forensic audit, the NRCC is in a much stronger position to protect against such a fraudulent act from happening again." — US member of Congress Tom Cole, chairperson of the National Republican Campaign Committee, after an audit confirmed that the NRCC's former treasurer had stolen US$725,000 from it between 2002 and 2006.
"The recent incoming data, taken as a whole, have affected the outlook for economic activity and employment only modestly." — US Federal Reserve Board chief Ben Bernanke, June 9, a week after the US recorded its largest monthly rise in unemployment in two decades.
"The image of the United States has improved slightly in many countries over the past year, the poll [Pew Global Attitudes Project] results show. But the new optimism appears to be driven largely by the fact that Mr Bush will soon be leaving office." — New York Times, June 13.
"If the detainee dies, you're doing it wrong." — CIA lawyer John Fredman in October 2002, telling commanders at the US prison in Guantanamo how far they could go in abusing prisoners, reported by Associated Press, June 17.

Fitzpatrick healthy, ready for Jets debut
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Ryan Fitzpatrick endured a few dark and physically challenging months to get back to where he'll be Sunday.
He's a starting quarterback again, and Fitzpatrick allowed his mind to wander to what he thinks that moment will be like when he steps on the field at MetLife Stadium to open the season for the Jets against the Cleveland Browns.
"You know what?" he said Wednesday. "It's going to be awesome."
He has come a long way since that day last December when his season with the Houston Texans ended abruptly when he broke his left leg playing against Indianapolis. The injury was serious enough that Fitzpatrick needed a rod inserted into the leg, and what followed was a seemingly never-ending period of rehabilitation.
"Having trouble walking for a few months, it was hard for me," he recalled. "It's hard when you're sitting around and having to put in the rehab and the hours and you're not seeing much in terms of results for months and months."
For a 32-year-old quarterback, there's no guarantee that you'll ever see the field again after an injury that severe. Through it all, Fitzpatrick never considered that it would be the end of the line.
He leaned on friends and others who had injuries, trying to remain patient — and positive.
"There was always a light at the end of the tunnel," Fitzpatrick said. "It certainly was hard early on with the injury."
While he was still healing, the Texans traded Fitzpatrick to the quarterback-needy Jets in March. By the time workouts and organized team activities started in the spring, Fitzpatrick was on his way to getting healthy.
"I think it'll mean even that much more to me," he said of Sunday's game, "just because of the reward of all the hard work that I put in and a lot of people on New York's and Houston's medical staffs put in to get me ready."

Why One Couple Loves Living By The Sea
Living in a fishing village in North Devon, Emma Cocker and Neil Randall have turned their coastal cottage into a modern home and feel very lucky to have the sea on their doorstep. Words and photographs: Caroline Rees
'In summer, with the window open, it's calming to hear the tide sloshing against the sea wall,' says Emma Cocker of her new home in Appledore, North Devon. 'We said recently that we should never take the view for granted because so many people aren't lucky enough to live so close to the sea.'
Emma and her fiancé Neil Randall live in a 200-year-old, cob-and-stone cottage tucked down a 'drang' – local dialect for passageway – in one of the village's hidden courts. Their door is just five metres from the sea wall. The house is tiny but doesn't feel hemmed in or cluttered, thanks to the couple's clever use of space and careful choice of decorative retro finds.
'I never thought I'd live here, but I love it,' says Emma, a textile artist who grew up on the other, more beachy side of the Taw-Torridge estuary. 'The village is quirky and creative, with brightly coloured old houses and little alleyways. You get the openness of being by the sea, but you also have a community that's alive all year round.'
Neil, who works for his friend's design-and-build company, bought the cottage as his first renovation project in 2012 a few months before he and Emma started dating. He knew parts of North Devon through his love of surfing but had never been to Appledore prior to spotting the property in the local paper.
He had recently returned from five years making surfboards in Australia and was keen to put down roots. 'I wanted somewhere with character as a home but also as a project for all my design ideas,' he says. 'It was dated, with Artex everywhere, three layers of lino in the kitchen and a mouldy, pink bathroom, but I could see instantly how light, yet cosy, it could be.'
Neil spent the next two years living in what he describes as a 'pigsty' as he transformed the house into a modern space that still retains its historic characteristics. Neil did all the work in his spare time, getting electrical and plumbing help from workmates. 'The most "interesting" period was when I dug up the floor to damp-proof it and got down to sand and pebbles,' he recalls. 'I found animal bones and fragments of inky-blue glass, and it was like standing on a beach doing the cooking with my boots on.'
The affordability of the cottage was due to the fact that there was no private waterside garden or window overlooking the sea. But Neil's scheme got a boost when he secured planning permission to put in an upstairs window – provided it was sympathetic to the style of the property. He was happy to comply with planning regulations: 'I wanted the house to look as if it had always been that way. It was so exciting, peeling off the render inside, picking out the pebbles, then looking through the hole and seeing the water.'
Neil designed the interior on computer first – 'Pages and pages of inspiration and ideas,' he says. Downstairs is open plan, with materials and textures defining different functional areas. 'The lounge has carpet so that it feels warmer, and the hallway needs to be durable so it's got a slate floor,' he explains. Old and new sit stylishly side by side: some period beams and stonework have been retained, while new cladding adds texture and echoes the original décor, but, as a deliberate contrast, there are high-gloss kitchen units and a luxurious, contemporary shower room.
'Since studying furniture design, my interest has been in making small spaces feel bigger and how you can adapt things for multiple uses,' says Neil. For instance, a glass roof and sliding doors between the kitchen and the enclosed mini courtyard create the illusion of more outdoor space while actually enlarging the indoors. 'On a warm summer evening, we'll have dinner out there. In winter, you can sit inside and feel warm but look up at the sky.' Upstairs, he opened the bedroom ceiling to the rafters and built in cupboards above the bed to avoid the clutter of a wardrobe, creating a more airy feel.
DRIFTWOOD DÉCOR
All the walls are white, for brightness and to offset the couple's accessories – they love trawling charity shops and car-boot sales for collectables. But Neil felt his canvas was too blank until Emma moved in: 'It was only when she brought her stuff and put her pictures up that it became homely.'
As a subtle nod to their nautical surroundings, nearly all the bare wood in the house is either driftwood – which Neil has fashioned into a coffee table, work desk, dressing table and bedposts – or recycled florists' crates, which are perfect for shelf units and storage boxes.
Emma and Neil can't resist staggering home from their walks along sections of the rugged coastline with pieces of flotsam. 'Driftwood is beautifully aged, with amazing colours in it such as the rust where nails were,' says Emma.
Beachcombing trips are also a must for Emma's exhibition stands, where she displays and sells her craft work. 'On one occasion, we had backpacks full and two tree trunks. It was a steep walk and my shoulders ached, but it was worth it.' Neil has discovered a new interest in the past since buying the property and investigating how buildings have changed usage over time. He suspects their home was once a barn or boat-store as he uncovered an extra-long lintel down the side and there are no structural internal walls.
'It's interesting to read about how poor this street used to be compared with now. I often bore my friends when we walk round by explaining how places have changed. I love the fact we live somewhere with a history that's still got strong ties to the sea.' Although the village has evolved into a second-home hotspot with a lively artistic community, the shipbuilders and a small fishing fleet survive as a link to the past.
'I love the change between living here in summer and in winter,' adds Neil. 'I prefer the sun, and there are more people in summer, but the first winter was when I got to know people here.'
Appledore has also fed into Emma's work making fabric animal characters, such as her 'salty seadog' range, and knitted maritime motifs. 'I'd already begun the nautical theme, but there's more visual inspiration here. I made a knitted anchor after I saw one just like I'd visualised.'
In summer, she swims before work when the tide is high, near the lifeboat station along the road. 'It's beautiful and clear and I love the light in the mornings. There's only once been anyone else in the water.' Neil, meanwhile, is forever seeking the perfect wave away from the obvious big beaches such as Woolacombe and Croyde. 'I go to quite guarded spots that only have a wave at rare times. It's all about the search and anticipation, putting on a woolly hat and walking across fields to tiny coves to find a superior wave.'
The couple feel 'ridiculously lucky' to have the sea on their doorstep. 'Whether it's the Lundy ferry going past, or a boat with red sails – or the annoying jet-skiers again! – we're constantly commenting on it,' says Emma. And although Neil dreams of another design project at some stage, they're in no hurry. 'That would mean selling the cottage,' she says, 'and that would be very hard to do.'

EMMA AND NEIL'S FAVOURITE PLACES:
CAFE: The Coffee Cabin, Appledore. 'The view is beautiful and the guys who run it are lovely.'
PUB: The Champ, Appledore. 'This is really cosy, like sitting in your living room but with beer and live music. They have blues and jazz nights, and it doesn't matter how good or bad they are; it's just a great atmosphere.'
WALK: Peppercombe. 'We discovered this walk together, down a quiet wooded valley, then either along the coast path or the beach, where you can do some foraging.'
ARTS CENTRE: The Plough, Great Torrington (theploughartscentre.org.uk). 'We go here mainly to see independent films, but they also have interesting workshops, live folk music and comedy shows.'
JOURNEY: The Appledore-Instow ferry. 'It's run by volunteers and we normally go over to Instow to get the evening sun, walk on the beach, for dinner or drinks, or Hocking's ice cream.'
SWIMMING LOCATION: Hartland Quay. 'A phenomenal place to swim at high tide. You think of Hartland as a wreckers' coastline but it's often sheltered. You can jump off the rocks, look up at the cliffs and it's like swimming in a cathedral.'

ROME (ITALY), Thursday, July 19, 2018 (MERCURPRESS.COM) - In the last five years tens of thousands of new businesses have been created that operate in dermopigmentation: "Our sector does not have a specific recognition at the Italian Chambers of Commerce and therefore all those who were not satisfied with the only category of " aesthetician " have had to register their business as " tattooists ". By examining the data, in 2013 in Italy there were about 1,500 tattoo companies operating in the tattoo sector, while in 2017 these became as many as 600,000. And a significant part of this " explosion " is to be attributed to the dermopigmentists".
But it is precisely from this extraordinary success that a necessity has arisen that should not be underestimated, and that is the fundamental growth of specialization in a sector that, being halfway between the aesthetic and medical spheres, can in no way be entrusted to impromptu operators.
SKING (www.sking.events) , the Italian championship for specialists in permanent makeup, last year gathered and promoted the best Italian dermopigmentists: "Women who turn to the dermopigmentist," confirm the organizers, "especially ask for eyebrows with regard to permanent makeup, while men require us especially the "shaved" effect, which is a surprising solution to the aesthetic problem of baldness. But there are also cases in which we are approached for a "paramedical" intervention, for example for the reconstruction of the mammary halo in cases of mastectomy, an intervention particularly important for the psychological aspects it involves".
On October 13 in Rome will take place the National Championship of permanent makeup promoted by A.I.DER. (Italian Association of Dermopigmentists) during which the most daring Italian operators will compete in the realization of a realistic eyebrow treatment and will compete for the title of national champion.
At the same time, in a 'dedicated area, all operators waiting to play the race and dermopigmentists who want to devote themselves to their training and learn new techniques, will attend live shows, live demonstrations of innovative treatments presented by international guests that will bring prestige to the event.
In the evening, then, all those who want to celebrate the world of Italian dermopigmentation, will celebrate during the PMU dinner party, the most exclusive party ever! Between toasts, dances and live performances will arrive at the time of the award ceremony that will decide the winners of the national championship.

Cinematic quests for identity : The hero's encounter with the beast / Maria Garcia

Summary: Whether embodied in literature, theater, or film, an enduring theme of many artistic works has been the protagonist's search for identity. Such quests are typically psychological or spiritual journeys and depicted on the screen in a variety of manifestations—endeavors embarked upon to address an emotional trauma or to overcome an obstacle in the hero's life. Using Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bête as a leitmotif, these pursuits are discussed by author Maria Garcia as encounters with the "Beast." At the end of their quests, heroes are reborn into their new identities, while the Beast disappears, transforms, or dies. In Cinematic Quests for Identity: The Hero's Encounter with the Beast, Garcia examines the cinematic conventions of the male and female search for individuation across several genres. After discussing La Belle et La Bête, the author looks at a number of films including three iconic male journeys—The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Searchers, and The Deer Hunter. Additional chapters focus on The Silence of the Lambs, Bringing Up Baby, The Lady Eve, The Secret of Roan Inish, The Natural, and Moneyball. The book concludes with a consideration of the three fairy tale films by Catherine Breillat—Fat Girl, Bluebeard, and The Sleeping Beauty—and the female characters in several Robert Bresson films, including The Trial of Joan of Arc. Providing a unique and original perspective on films throughout the world, this provocative book draws upon Jungian thought, as well as several literary traditions including fairy tales, epic poetry, and Greek and Celtic mythology. Aimed at scholars of film and film theory, Cinematic Quests for Identity will also appeal to movie fans interested in a deeper understanding of films that explore a character's struggle to live a conscious life. -- publisher's web site

Notes: In this provocative study of cinematic and televisual representations of "sex radicalism," Carol Siegel explores how representations of sexually explicit content on film have shaped American cultural visions of sex and sexual politics in the 21st century. Siegel distinguishes between a liberal approach to visual representations, which has over-emphasized normative equal opportunity while undervaluing our distinctive erotic selves, and a radical approach to visual representation, which portrays forbidden sexualities and desires. She illustrates how visual media participates in and even drives political policies related to pedophilia, prostitution, interracial relationships, and war. By examining such popular film and television shows as Mystic River, The Wire, Fifty Shades of Grey, Batman Returns, and the HBO hits, Sex and the City and Girls, Siegel takes the discussion of radical sex in the movies out of the margins of political discussions and puts it in the center, where, she argues, it has belonged all along. -- publisher's web site

The Environment This Month – December 2018
December 31, 2018 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment
Welcome back for another round up for The Environment This Month.
This round up is going to be the last on the blog. There is a lot of information to gather, and it takes up a lot of room each month. A much easier format to handle is through a social media interface. Thus, I am going to be carrying on the environmental news commentary on my Political K page. Please follow the page to stay up to date with all your news needs.
Let's get started on our final run…
It's December and this segment of the blog is coming to a close as we enter into a new format for the 2019 season. Don't worry, you can find posts like this on my Political K page, where I can monitor environmental news more frequently, without culling a huge number of the stories from around the world that deserve your attention as well.
Next up, a giant orange man-baby spouting baloney to his worshippers, who will buy anything he says, because he's a great, failed businessman. Of course, he said this…
During a rally in Tupelo, Mississippi aimed at boosting support for U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), who faces a runoff election tomorrow (Nov. 27) against Democratic candidate Mike Espy, Trump hailed the touchdown of the $850 million InSight lander, though not by name.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — More than 140 pilot whales died after beaching themselves in southern New Zealand, with half being euthanized by conservation workers in a "deeply saddening" decision after their discovery came too late to rescue them, officials said Monday.

Patagonia, the popular outdoor gear brand, plans to donate $10 million to environmental groups using the money it's saving from the Trump corporate tax cuts this year. The California-based company's chief executive officer, Rose Marcario, announced the move in a Linkedin post Wednesday afternoon.

As you'll recall, this is the month that one of the few living American Presidents, passed away, having survived his wife by months. Although I have found his policies problematic, I can say that his leadership is a far cry from the insanity we are now experiencing (no doubt it helped build to this point, but it would be better to be back there, than where we are now, at such a critical moment).
In June 1989 President Bush proposed sweeping revisions to the Clean Air Act. Building on Congressional proposals advanced during the 1980s, the President proposed legislation designed to curb three major threats to the nation's environment and to the health of millions of Americans: acid rain, urban air pollution, and toxic air emissions. The proposal also called for establishing a national permits program to make the law more workable, and an improved enforcement program to help ensure better compliance with the Act.

In these strange times, are eel snorting seals really that out of the ordinary?
Endangered seals are baffling conservationists with an unlikely predicament — getting eels stuck up their noses.
The Honolulu-based Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program (HMSRP), part of the United States' NOAA Fisheries agency, posted a photo on its Facebook page Monday that showed a seal with the slippery creature lodged firmly in its right nostril.
This undignified incident is just the latest in a long (and wriggly) line of eel invasions to strike the Hawaiian monk seals — a phenomenon that was first spotted in the summer of 2016 off Hawaii's Lisianski Island.

A lot of families are doing their part to make a difference while their governments and other leaders are stalling on action. They understand the need, because they have children who will reap the cost of inaction later. So what is something we can do? Understand that everything you do has an impact of some kind, and then think about creative ways to limit it. Stop punishing yourself for not being completely free of impact. That is not possible.
Most people observe holidays that align with the solar calendar. Some of the most significant of those coincide with the shortest days of the year, around the winter solstice Dec. 21.
Those solstice-related holidays often include a festive meal. An internet search of "traditional holiday dinners" returns recipes and sumptuous photos of perfect standing rib roasts, glazed hams and turkeys.
Tradition meets the future if you plan your holiday meal with climate change in mind.
Not all foods have the same environmental impact or cost. Production of equal amounts of some foods emits many more greenhouse gases and other environmental threats than others.

12 years left and they're still having summits to decide what to do. This should go well…

Let's reiterate that belief doesn't matter to scientific fact. You don't believe in science and it's findings. They exist and are fact. Belief doesn't matter. So when someone says they don't believe in Climate Change, remind them that it is a decided fact with evidence, not a mystery man in the sky stroking his beard and deciding who to strike with lightning.
Over the past three decades of global warming, the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic has declined by a stunning 95 percent, according the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's annual Arctic Report Card.
The finding suggests that the sea at the top of the world has already morphed into a new and very different state, with major implications not only for creatures such as walruses and polar bears but, in the long term, perhaps for the pace of global warming itself.
The oldest ice can be thought of as a kind of glue that holds the Arctic together and, through its relative permanence, helps keep the Arctic cold even in long summers.

Good-fucking-bye, jack hole.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, a key figure in President Trump's sweeping plan to reshape the nation's environmental framework, resigned under pressure on Saturday as he faces numerous ethics investigations into his business dealings, travel and policy decisions.
"Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years," Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. "Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation." The president said he would name a replacement this coming week.

The hope was and will always be with the people. Governments, leaders, and moneyed interests are concerned by themselves and the works of the rich, which do not coincide with the needs of our planet or the beings living upon it. Your actions, no matter how small, are what sustains the continued movement.
Environmental groups sued the Trump administration Tuesday over offshore drilling tests, launching a legal fight against a proposal that has drawn bipartisan opposition along the Atlantic Coast.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Charleston, South Carolina, claims the National Marine Fisheries Service violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act when it issued five permits for the use of seismic air guns.

Your vigilance is ever needed.
SPOKANE, Wash. — The Trump administration wants to reclassify some radioactive waste left from the production of nuclear weapons to lower its threat level and make disposal cheaper and easier.
The proposal by the U.S. Department of Energy would lower the status of some high-level radioactive waste in several places around the nation, including the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state — the most contaminated nuclear site in the country.
Reclassifying the material to low-level could save the agency billions of dollars and decades of work by essentially leaving the material in the ground, critics say.
The proposal joins a long list of Trump administration efforts to loosen environmental protections. Just last week, the Environmental Protection Agency acted to ease rules on the sagging U.S. coal industry.

For perspective, let's look at a naturally occurring environmental change. Please note that it will take 100 million years to process, not a few centuries…
'We estimate that this 'ring rain' drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn's rings in half an hour,' said James O'Donoghue of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
'From this alone, the entire ring system will be gone in 300 million years, but add to this the Cassini-spacecraft measured ring-material detected falling into Saturn's equator, and the rings have less than 100 million years to live.'

U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone intends to launch investigations into the Trump administration's handling of Obama-era environmental initiatives when Democrats take control of the U.S. House next month.
Pallone, a Democrat who has been representing the Bayshore and central New Jersey in Congress for nearly 30 years, will ascend to the chair of a powerful U.S. House committee, one that could play a significant role in shaping U.S. climate change policy.

The Environment This Month – November 2018
November 30, 2018 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment
The holidays are here again. Hoping your Turkey Day (if you're an American) was a good one. It's great to be thankful, but I always found an excessive feast to be an odd way of going about recognizing what we have. Then again, sharing the wealth with loved ones does make a lot of sense. I just wish we felt giving every day, and not just with a select few in our lives.
Sadly, people still believe that it is unsustainable to make sure everyone has enough—something sold for eons to the poor by the ruling classes to keep them in line.
Let's get started, and enter December with a clearer understanding of what we face in the coming year. Next month we'll wrap up the news roundup for a final 30 days on the blog. It will be moving to Facebook as part of my regular posts on Political K.
First up, a bit of good news that has been on my radar for sometime…
A U.S. district judge has issued an order blocking construction of the controversial transnational Keystone XL Pipeline until the State Department conducts further study of its impact on the environment.
Judge Brian Morris' 54-page order, issued late Thursday, overturns the Trump administrations's approval last year of the proposed 1,179-mile pipeline and at least temporarily prevents it from being built.
Although the decision does not permanently halt the pipeline's construction, it nevertheless comes as TransCanada, the Canadian company that owns Keystone, is preparing to start construction in Montana, shipping pipe to various locations throughout the state, the Great Falls Tribune reports.

Speaking of being on the radar for a long time. This next item is something that has been going on for most of my lifetime. It's good to know it should be resolved before much longer: another decade.
The ozone layer – which protects us from the sun's harmful radiation – is slowly healing, the United Nations announced Monday.
"It's really good news," said NASA scientist Paul Newman, co-author of the U.N. report.
Over the northern half of the world, the layer should be completely repaired by the 2030s, the report said. The good news is due to decades of worldwide cooperation to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals.

Now that the good news shows you the benefit of working hard and not giving up, despite long and seemingly insurmountable obstacles, let us look at what we're fighting against still…
A TRIO OF BALLOT measures aimed at addressing climate change fell short at the polls Tuesday…The ballot measures in Arizona, Colorado and Washington notably pitted environmental advocates against deep-pocketed oil and gas groups, which outspent the proposals' proponents despite outside support from donors such as former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

The Environment This Month – October 2018
October 29, 2018 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment
Here we are, once again, saying good-bye to my favorite month. This roundup sends us into deep fall, staring down winter. The holidays are nigh. So are elections, so this roundup will be the most important for the year. Let's not dawdle on this introduction, but get started on the important stuff.
Technology is advancing despite those who attempt to hold us back. Scientists are not waiting for consensus on climate change. And the backers aren't either. The future is climate technology. We stand at the precipice, already past completely correcting the damage, so we will need to develop a means to survive in the new temperatures (which will affect our lives intimately). Take this satellite tech that helped Florence…
GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, and there's a new generation of them in space. GOES-East, the satellite watching the Eastern half of the western hemisphere, was launched in 2016 and is fully operational. It's the satellite that kept a close watch on Florence. GOES-West went operational in March.

he world's most widely used weed killer may also be indirectly killing bees. New research from The University of Texas at Austin shows that honey bees exposed to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, lose some of the beneficial bacteria in their guts and are more susceptible to infection and death from harmful bacteria.
Scientists believe this is evidence that glyphosate might be contributing to the decline of honey bees and native bees around the world.
"We need better guidelines for glyphosate use, especially regarding bee exposure, because right now the guidelines assume bees are not harmed by the herbicide," said Erick Motta, the graduate student who led the research, along with professor Nancy Moran. "Our study shows that's not true."
The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

If it weren't bad enough that we may lose Roe V. Wade (and respect for women's autonomy altogether), the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh brings with it more stagnation for environmental concerns. The Judge's record on the environment is as irresponsible as his college days.
Unlike many elected Republicans, Kavanaugh recognized the reality of man-made climate change during his time on the bench in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. "The earth is warming," he said two years ago. "Humans are contributing."
However, in his opinions, the judge has been stingy in doling out more authority to the Environmental Protection Agency to address concerns about climate change, believing that government agencies should only have powers explicitly given them by Congress. And lawmakers haven't passed any law that directly attempts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. Most of that action, to the chagrin of Republicans, took place within the executive branch under President Barack Obama.
But the courts, including the one on which Kavanaugh sits, haven't always allowed the Democratic administration to implement regulations aimed at mitigating global warming. As recently as last year, for example, Kavanaugh ruled against an Obama-era effort at the EPA to rein in emissions of some of the most potent climate-warming gases, called hydrofluorocarbons.

Tobacco has been a topic coming up more frequently again, at least in my corner of the world. Honestly, I don't know many people who still smoke, unless you go outside to where the buses come through, and the smoke shop on that street. That's still a very tiny segment, who apparently find it necessary to gather around pregnant women to blow like chimneys. At least it felt that way when I was pregnant and trying to catch a shuttle back to my car. The shelter and even the buildings have no smoking policies, but the smokers gathered close to me. I'd move, and they'd follow. What are you gonna do? I did my best to escape them. Once I had given birth, they no longer came near.
From this, I can understand how smoking affects the environment, beyond the health risks for smokers and those stuck breathing their smoke.
The World Health Organization says smoking not only kills about 7 million people every year, but has a devastating impact on the environment — contributing to deforestation, water and soil damage and acidification.
UN: Tobacco kills not just people, but the environment
Cultivation of land is one of the major problems for our planet. Humanity is failing at land management.
On 106 acres in Fishlake National Forest in Richfield, Utah, a 13-million-pound giant has been looming for thousands of years. But few people have ever heard of him.
This is "the Trembling Giant," or Pando, from the Latin word for "I spread." A single clone, and genetically male, he is the most massive organism on Earth. He is a forest of one: a grove of some 47,000 quivering aspen trees — Populus tremuloides — connected by a single root system, and all with the same DNA.
But this majestic behemoth may be more of a Goliath, suggests a study published Wednesday in PLOS ONE. Threatened by herds of hungry animals and human encroachment, Pando is fighting a losing battle.

The most important take away from this round up that you will ever find comes next. This is what you need to fight those who want to silence any talk on the climate. Tell them where they're going to get hit in the wallet, their life, and so on. Make it personal. Show them the unrestrained devastation that is sure to come to their doorstep, and get them thinking about what they can do to help stop that from happening. People will always worry about and protect what is theirs.
Considering climate change as a transformative force rather than an environmental issue alone allows for discussion of how atmospheric changes impact many aspects of life and society
Climate change isn't just an environmental issue anymore | MPR News
The following bit of information is unsurprising, but something you need to be aware of as we continue to resist…
Finalists for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Science Advisory Board include researchers who reject mainstream climate science and who have fought against environmental regulations for years.
Among them is an economist from the conservative Heritage Foundation whose work was cited by President Trump as a justification for withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement. Another downplays the dangers of air pollution. Several scientists are from energy companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp., and the list includes a researcher who argues that more carbon dioxide is good for the planet.

I'm not sure why the author of our next submission thinks that the environment isn't at the top of the list, considering, but he does speak to the midterms and things that we need to keep on our radar as we prepare to vote. My question: Why are democrats waiting? If you've read my other political commentary, then you know that I've been tracking democratic patterns of waiting and minimizing, among other things, such as rigging primaries…
While none of this has pushed the environment over issues like healthcare or immigration in the minds of most voters, environmental groups and Democrats are hoping the recent string of natural disasters and the Trump administration's efforts to rollback dozens of environmental laws will be key in November's midterms – particularly in disaster-struck states like California and Florida, where a number of House seats are closely contested.
"People are seeing first-hand the devastating impacts that climate change is having," says Tiernan Sittenfeld, the senior vice president for government affairs with the League of Conservation Voters. "And they're going to be far more likely to support elected officials and candidates who are going to stand up for them and not with the corporate polluters the way that Donald Trump and the Republican leadership in Congress does over and over again."

The Environment This Month – September 2018
September 28, 2018 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment
September rolls in again. This summer felt more like the summers I remember as a child, but the reports came in saying it's been the hottest on record. The fall arrived like someone flipped a switch, turning that heat off. It's always my hope that we will reach a point where we've made enough changes that the damage will start to recede. That, however, is not meant to be. Right now we are just negotiating how bad. We have those who spurn education and science to thank that, because they allowed themselves to be used as brakes by those profiting. The only thing to do now is demand the changes necessary, and cease the acceptance of contrary opinions that hold us back. Truth and facts. Let's arm ourselves…
Earth-observing satellites use the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to measure the aerosol optical thickness from hundreds of kilometers above the Earth. These measurements are based on the fact that aerosols change the reflection and absorption of visible and infrared light in the atmosphere. NASA has now released a vivid image that shows the aerosol flow across the face of Earth. According to NASA, "An optical thickness of less than 0.1 (palest yellow) indicates a crystal clear sky with maximum visibility, whereas a value of 1 (reddish brown) indicates very hazy conditions."

The next story reminds us of how interconnected the planet is. No corner will be unaffected. So why do we allow anyone to stop us from responding, and saving what we still can?
A new study led by scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and the Coral Reef Research Foundation (CRRF) in Palau describes a novel approach for predicting warm temperature-induced stress on corals from the sea surface through a deeper expanse ranging from 30-150 meters (100-500 feet) known as the mesophotic zone.
Corals at this depth are thought of by some in the science community as being safer from ocean warming than their shallow-water counterparts. But the Scripps Oceanography team found that even in the deep, corals are episodically exposed to thermal stress at intervals different than those corals near the surface.
Scientists find corals in deeper waters under stress too
Forbes addressed the effect on people with an economic spin, because we seem unable to reach conservatives unless we inform them of how their bank accounts will be affected by the changes in the climate. What's in it for me, is a common question in training about teaching individuals new skills that may alter their day to day tasks. We all know, we humans are creatures of habit. Once we're settled in a routine, we take it personally when someone wants to change it. Don't ask me why we get so invested in the way we do things, like it's fundamental to who we are as an individual. If someone can show me a better way, or a way that improves life for me and those around me, I'm going to listen and try to apply it.
Oddly enough, doesn't it seem, the folks fighting efficient and smart change seem to be the same ones calling everyone else lazy?
"The bad news on climate change is almost a steady drumbeat. As such it can be too easy to grow numb to it, but it's important to not lose sight of what's happening and the urgency of it…Global warming, in short, remains urgent for the environment and the people who will bear the direct costs…Let me unpack this a bit. Energy price shocks are historically a contributor to modern recessions."

You might wonder what the next link has to do with environmental concerns. History is the perspective from which you perceive the future, for one. But museums are also bastions of research and innovation. This fire was a major tragedy for the world.
The National Museum of Brazil, the country's oldest scientific institution, has been engulfed by flames after a fire broke out on Sunday night.
The museum, which recently celebrated its 200-year anniversary, contains more than 20 million items in its collection, including artefacts from Egypt and the oldest human fossil ever discovered in Brazil.

Air pollution is now "the biggest environmental risk" to public health in Europe but governments are failing to adequately deal with the crisis, the EU Court of Auditors has found.
Europe's air pollution limits are "much weaker" than WHO guidelines – and most EU countries do not comply with them anyway, according to the damning new report.

As you know, I like to temper the roundup with some good news. This time, I have something very interesting to share. (Or, maybe, it's just been on my radar as someone who loves marine biology.)
Great white sharks have led researchers to discover a secret, hidden oceanic void teeming with life.
Marine biologists began tagging sharks more than a decade ago but the predators' month-long annual pilgrimage to a seemingly barren area in the mid-Pacific region from the coasts of California and Mexico had baffled scientists.
Now researchers from Stanford University and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, have found that apparently empty stretch of ocean, known as the mid-water, is in fact teeming with life.

You can't have a roundup from this September without mentioning the big storm that came through the Southern United States. You'd think that voters in this area, who are far more likely to experience such storms, would be on board with protecting the environment, and thus not encouraging these natural disasters to grow beyond survivability. Perhaps they're like 45, and get excited to rebuild every other year, and lose most if not all sentimental keepsakes, like family photos, grandma's china, and so on. But, no. Once again, voting against one's interests, and once again we have the same old results…
Twenty-seven of the 37 deaths attributed to the storm have been in North Carolina, where Florence and its floodwaters have caused significant damage in the state. First responders have made more than 4,000 rescues, approximately 10,000 people are in shelters, and the state has set up four mass-feeding kitchens.

The Environment This Month – August 2018
They height of summer has passed. We're entering the fall, and that usually means the general public forgetting exactly what climate change is, and that just because it's getting colder doesn't mean that the mean temperatures of the planet are not rising. The presence of cool temperatures or even snow is no indication that things are just fine. Now is also the time that scientists reflect on the mean temperature of the planet through the warm season. 2018 is record hottest, already. Frankly, there is no arguing this point. Climate change is fact and so is the cause of it being humanity.
So let's get started on rounding up the important news from August of 2018, so we can make a difference…
First up is a reminder about strained resources on our planet. The same sect of humanity that thinks there is no climate change is under the impression that our finite planet is infinite on resources. I bet if you asked them how that is possible, they'd stutter quite a bit as the cognitive dissonance struggled to make an answer. See, that's how you get these ridiculous right wing sound bites…
The planet's been strained for so long that sometime ago, a group of scientists sought to rename the geological epoch we live in. They proposed that the current epoch Holocene, meaning 'entirely recent', be followed by Anthropocene ('new man'). This, they argued, would reflect mankind's terrestrial impacts: biodiversity loss, contaminated air, water and soil, global warming, plastic pollution and scattering of radioactive elements courtesy nuclear tests, to name a few.

While 45's policies are tearing things apart on the federal level, states are fighting the flood of bad doings by enforcing their own protections. Unfortunately for the entire United States, not every state is acting like New Jersey (California and New York, as well). If you're lucky enough to have a left wing state, then your regulations and their enforcement will continue, but the minutes that changes, they will be slaughtered, and along with that safeties put in place for human health and our future.
New Jersey officials on Wednesday filed six lawsuits against companies accused of polluting, marking an increase in environmental enforcement under Gov. Phil Murphy.
Mr. Murphy, a Democrat, took office in January and has pledged to take a more progressive stance on environmental issues than former Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican.
Environmentalists criticized many of Mr. Christie's policies during his two terms in office, including his decision to pull the state out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and his administration's pollution settlement with Exxon Mobil Corp., which they felt let the company off easy.

Next up, a reminder that keeping vigilant is vital to the fight. The moment you dare to look away, or look elsewhere, is the moment when you'll be taken advantage of. I bet you thought this next thing was over with…
A new planned route for TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline through Nebraska would not have a major impact on the state's water, land or wildlife, according to an updated environmental study produced by the Trump administration.

Speaking of vigilance—we also need to get more creative with where we are looking to find future problems. WOuld you think a cryptocurrency something to wreak havoc with the environment (outside of the shady deals it is used for that may impact environmental vulnerabilities).

A study published in Energy Research & Social Science warns that failure to lower the energy use by Bitcoin and similar Blockchain designs may prevent nations from reaching their climate change mitigation obligations under the Paris Agreement.

With vigilance, for many, comes great danger. It is a privilege to be able to speak freely of these issues, and the worst you experience is ridicule or the loss of a friend. Many, especially people of color, pay with their lives.
Filipino activists are paying the price for defending the environment with their lives.A 2017 Global Witness report released on Tuesday revealed that the archipelago is the most dangerous country in Asia for environment defenders, with 48 killings recorded last year—a 71 per cent rise on 2016.
The Philippines—Asia's most dangerous country for environmental defenders
Vigilance also requires that we reach out to those we may have traditionally viewed as enemies, because historically they have not been very helpful in our attempts to protect the planet and our species. However, this next story will make you think twice, and hopefully start to imagine ways that you can extend that olive branch and get the work we so desperately need done.
Younger generations of religious Americans tend to closely harbor concerns for the environment via stewardship more so than older parishioners, according to a study by a University of Kansas researcher.
"The best way to account for this upsurge from about 1980 and on is that a lot of religious groups have actually started to talk to their parishioners about creation care — a term used to avoid the political context attached to environmentalism," said Lukas Szrot, a KU doctoral candidate in sociology. "Leaders felt that religious groups and churches needed to address this problem, and their members likely wanted to talk more about these issues."

Proof is in the pudding, so they say. Have you ever been in the middle of a hot debate on how regulations have helped save the environment, only to have anecdotal evidence to share, and Google is being zero help locating that killer article that would shut the naysayer down? Look no further! (Why aren't you using my blog as a resource? This would be a great tool to have in your back pocket.) The following article is one you'll want to bookmark. There's no weedling away from this one…
The study, forthcoming in the American Economic Review, found that polluting emissions from U.S. manufacturing fell by 60 percent between 1990 and 2008—a period in which manufacturing output grew significantly—primarily because manufacturers adopted cleaner production methods in tandem with increasingly strict environmental regulation.
Environmental regulations drove steep declines in U.S. factory pollution
I'm sharing this next article because it will serve to show how the United States is no longer leading the charge on environmental concerns. The current government of the US is hostile to other nations as well as it's own regulatory infrastructure. The president signs orders weekly that reduce the work of decades, rolling back to SIlent Spring days.
Delegates from 53 African countries and China took the next step towards greater environmental progress under the framework of South-South Cooperation with the inauguration of the interim secretariat for a new China-Africa Environmental Cooperation Center to be based in Nairobi.
When it's completed, the Center will provide a platform for capacity development, technical support, environmental policy dialogue and mobilization of funds for environmental projects and programmes.
So let's make sure we are off our butts and doing what we can to not fall behind.
Here's another hit to your personal life, and one many didn't think twice about. What are you going to do? You need to see, right?
Many people rely on contact lenses to improve their vision. But these sight-correcting devices don't last forever — some are intended for a single day's use — and they are eventually disposed of in various ways. Now, scientists are reporting that throwing these lenses down the drain at the end of their use could be contributing to microplastic pollution in waterways.

Unsurprisingly, I find scientists still calling us to the basics of environmental stewardship. The rally cry for richer diversity in ecosystems brought me all the way back to my Earth Club days in High School. (Shout out to Ballston High.)
To offset CO2 emissions, China is reforesting. If a mixture of tree species instead of monocultures were planted, much more carbon could be stored. An international team has shown that species-rich forest ecosystems take up more CO2 from the atmosphere and store more carbon in biomass and soil, making them more effective against climate change.
Species-rich forests better compensate environmental impacts — ScienceDaily
Remember your roots. they're a great point to regroup and reenergize your activism.

Q: Change the contact info color when my burger menu is open On my WordPress site (using Enfold as the theme) I'm using a burger menu for all widths. I want the contact information (phone and email) to change color when I open my burger menu. I don't really know if I should get a function to work when I click on my burger (my attempt) or if I should get a function to work only when my menu burger overlay is visible.
I added some photos so you can see what I'm talking about

I firstly linked my .js file through a functions.php file, and to be sure it was linked to my website i tried displaying a simple alert that worked.
After that i tried adding my code :
$(document).ready(function($) {
  $('.av-hamburger').on ({
    'click' : function(){
      $('.navcontact').css({ 'color': 'red'});
    }
  });
});

I tried this code but nothing happened, even if I try to replace my change of color by an alert.
I'm kinda rusty with js and jquery, I haven't used those languages since 3 years so maybe I'm missing some crucial parts... Thanks for the help

A: You are using the wrong syntax for .on
$(document).ready(function($) {
  $('.av-hamburger').on('click',function(){
      $('.navcontact').css({ 'color': 'red'});
  });
});

should work as expected
See jquery documentation for reference
