The ozone layer is depleting every day and human beings are also adapting to contain the effect of the depleted ozone layer.
If you belong to this part of the world, then you must be experiencing the hot weather because the sun has intensified its rays.
While it is clear that the ozone layer is depleting more and more, as human beings we are supposed to develop coping and adaptive strategies.
1. Drinks lots of water especially if you sweat excessively.
2. Take breaks. If you are working outside, make sure you take a short break every hour or more often if needed. Stay under shade and air conditioning if possible.
3. Dress accordingly. Go for light-coloured wears that reflect sunlight. Also, wear loose clothing that allows air to enter your skin and keep you warmer.
4. Avoid being outside when the sun is hottest usually between 10a.m to 2 p.m. If you exercise outside, go early in the morning or in the ending when the sun is less intense and temperatures are cooler.
5. Don't take alcohol or coffee because of their content. They are both diuretics, which means you will become dehydrated more quickly.
We sincerely feel that the information contained in 5 ways to stay hydrated in this sunny weather can be of benefit to you.

Le margoum ou mergoum est un tissage de laine utilisé comme tapis de sol dont les origines sont arabo-berbères. Il se distingue du kilim par les regma, des motifs tissés qui le décorent.

Fabrication
La fabrication artisanale du margoum est une combinaison de l'art du tissage traditionnel et du dessin sur la laine. L'artisan prépare la laine et utilise le métier à tisser et les outils traditionnels ; cet artisanat, comme beaucoup d'autres, nécessite de gros efforts physiques. Les produits du margoum sont très prisés, aussi bien des Tunisiens que des touristes.

Le margoum est réalisé dans les régions tunisiennes de Gafsa, El Jem, Oudhref et Kairouan. Cet artisanat est cependant affecté par la baisse des prix survenue à la fin des années 1980.

COVID-19: IMC Shuts Down Plants After Employees Test Positive!
Anusha Sachwani
Indus Motor Company (IMC) had announced to shut down its plants for five days after a few employees tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
IMC, along with many other manufacturers and assemblers, had previously observed shut down for almost two months because of the strict lockdown.
IMC, on 19th May, said it would resume its assembly operations under strict SOPs that have been set in place by the government.
However, the company tested several employees with no visible symptoms of the virus only to find out that they have been tested positive.
According to the company, none of the employees are in critical condition. So much so that the employees have been quarantined and are being treated accordingly.
According to the company notice, IMC wishes to resume operations from today (11th June).

The automotive sector of Pakistan is going through a very crucial time. The slowdown of the economy has resulted in an increase in unit prices and a slump in demand.
According to the latest reports, sales have dropped by an alarming 41% during the first quarter of the fiscal year.
In September, both Honda and Toyota announced that their production plants would observe shut down for 15 days. Furthermore, both brands have announced that non-production days (NPD) will continue to be found in October as well.
From July, Honda has already observed 44 NPDs. According to Dawn, the company will keep its plant shut for up to 18 days in October. Honda still has 2,000 unsold units at its plants and dealerships, whereas the number was 3,000 last month.
Whereas unit productions at Indus Motor Company (IMC) are performing at less than 50% of its capacity and are expected to continue at this rate throughout the remaining month of October.
Non Production Days (NPDs) of Toyota and Honda plants:
Car sales are expected to remain on the low for the remainder of the year. It will not come as a surprise if more NPD are observed by both Toyota Pakistan and Honda or even other brands.

The Doppler effect, named after Austrian physicist J. C. Doppler who first described it for sound in 1842, states that "The waves emitted from a source moving toward an observer are squeezed; i.e. The wave's wavelength is decreased and frequency is increased," as shown in the schematic below. Conversely, waves emitted from a source moving away from an observer are stretched; i.e. the wave's wavelength is increased and frequency is decreased. The waves can be acoustic waves or electro-magnetic radiation.
The laser Doppler velocimeter sends a monochromatic laser beam toward the target and collects the reflected radiation. According to the Doppler effect, the change in wavelength of the reflected radiation is a function of the targeted object's relative velocity. Thus, the velocity of the object can be obtained by measuring the change in wavelength of the reflected laser light, which is done by forming an interference fringe pattern (i.e. superimpose the original and reflected signals).

Ford forced to make latest job cuts involuntary
Kenneth Hall May 29, 2008 Comment Now!
Ford is continuing with its aggressive turnaround plan in its bid to recover from multi-billion dollar losses in 2007, with the latest measure, announced on Wednesday, set to shed more than 2,000 of its full-time salary jobs in North America. We've already seen Ford cut the number of its hourly wage-earners by 30,000 employees, and with an original goal to cut more than 45,000 staff and close 16 plants in North America we could be seeing more drastic action taken in the near future.
Unlike the last round of voluntary buyouts and early retirement offers, the latest job cuts to Ford's salary staff are largely involuntary. Ford expects to complete the cuts by August 1 and will not be offering buyout packages, as it has in the past, to encourage employees to quit or retire, reports the Associated Press.
Declining SUV and pickup sales and shrinking market share is forcing Ford to accelerate its restructuring plans. The carmaker cannot afford to offer a voluntary separation this time because it cannot wait any longer for the staff reductions.
Ford has also announced that it will be reducing production of its pickup and SUV models and has pushed back its target for a return to profitability to after 2009.

Shell To The UK Govt: "Sure Bro. Ban Gas/Diesel Cars Sooner, I Dare You!"
Jim Kem | July 24, 2020 10:05 am
Rushing into a forced EV revolution is like driving a Tesla on bicycle wheels. And Shell knows it, and it knows the UK probably doesn't.
In case you missed it, there was piece of policy signed off by the British government to ban the sale of new cars powered by petrol and diesel by 2035. The reasoning behind is arguably quite flawed, but the limeys do seem adamant about their righteousness.
That announcement was probably followed by some back-patting and heaps self-congratulatory exchanges on how the country will be pioneers once again (remember those times?) and save the world while they're at it. Hoorah! Jolly good!
Spurred on by the cheering eco-mentalists, it was reported that the UK were now toying with the idea of bringing that ban forward by 3 years, to 2032. Again, this would make it illegal - or at least extremely difficult - to sell a new car of any kind that's powered by petrol or diesel. Monster trucks are totally fine, though, as they run on pure alcohol.
Surprisingly, Royal Dutch Shell - you know, V-Power, Helix - has now urged the Brits to bring that forward even closer, suggesting that the ban be implemented in 2030. This seems totally counter to the interests of a major player in the oil and gas space. But not only might it be a brilliant PR move, it could also be a troll of the finest quality.
Of course, the message was conveyed over Twitter, an excellent choice of weapon:
"Shell applauds this but believes it could be brought forward to 2030 to make sure the UK meets the 2050 #netzero target,"
I can almost see the smirk of whoever posted that on Shell's official account. That smug grin was probably brought on because they know that, while it is kinda virtuous, it's probably not going to work. The world revolves around fossil fuel, like it or not, and it's almost funny to think how that's likely to change within the next decade in any sweeping fashion.
Yet, here the UK has enacted a sweeping piece of policy, post-dated. They're also forcing every new car buyer down the EV path (presumably even hybrids are too disgustingly pollutive), not shady at all. For electric cars to reach a point where they'd offer a 1-to-1 replacement proposition over a 'normal' car will take a truly disruptive step forward in battery technology (which also has to be cheap), a frontier on which we've made relatively decent progress over the past 20 years.
Secondarily. Oh yes, you'd also have to solve the world's impending energy crisis. No big deal. Without both those elements, this 'electric future' would rest on a foundation of twigs, ready to snap and crumble of its own weight. The UK is banking on several large-scale revolutions to occur in the space of a dozen-ish (10-15) years, and are willing to put its economy and citizens in a tremendous competitive disadvantage if this gamble doesn't pay off.
An inescapable reality is that we humans, at least in modern society, are trying to balance what we 'need' and what we think is 'good', but we've made mistakes before based on good intentions. Of course, battery-powered EVs have their pros, but many people ignore the cons, living in the loftier fringes and expecting things to sort themselves out in the squalor below. Where things get a little blown out of proportion is the sentiment that electric vehicles are somehow going to end all problems.
They might, and I hope they will, but not in their current state, which for the moment, involves tremendous cost, the mining and processing of harmful raw and finite materials, and potentially causes more pollution and environmental waste to build (a subject of ongoing debate).
Also, they rely on battery tech that can have its charge capacity degrade significantly over time, are dependent on an already highly strained electrical grid, and use electricity (primarily) generated from non-renewable sources - nullifying the fuzzy feelings you get from being 'green'. Let's expand on that last point.
For the vast majority of electric cars out there, the power they (store and) run on does still come from the grid. And boy, do they need A LOT of juice per charge. So much so that the electrical infrastructure is hilariously unprepared for the kind of overload that a widespread adoption of EVs will create.
Right now, electricity is cheap, but with the reliance of the world shifting away from fossil fuels without a new and abundant base energy source, be prepared for electricity vendors to be the new oil barons. The cost-per-watt will skyrocket simply because there's now so much money to be made, so you can forget about free charging ports or even a spare plug point to charge your smartphone.
Let's not forget that we're also impatient, so these home chargers will somehow need to be capable of much higher voltages to reduce charge times, probably requiring a heavy-duty pre-charge buffer (working by the same principal to a hydraulic accumulator) to store the electricity for quick dispersion.
And even if an unlimited amount of money was thrown at the problem (overhauling the global electrical infrastructure - woah), there would still be an ugly root problem still waiting to be confronted. The fact of the matter is that, even now, most of the electricity in the world is still generated by leveraging non-renewable sources. Changing that isn't going to be easy, but it needs to be tackled first.
Solar farms and wind farms are a couple of examples of the most well-known forms of renewable, eco-friendly electricity. However, they're more than a little limp. They just don't generate enough electricity in a reasonable amount of time to serve the energy needs of a technologically advanced and power-hungry society like we are in 2020.
What's the answer? Who knows. Many futurists and scientists believe hydrogen is the most sustainable long term solution for us, and hydrogen fuel cell cars have shown a lot of potential. Work is also ongoing to further explore it as a potentially limitless fuel source to power generators. In fact, Shell is one of the leading producers of hydrogen for use in fuel cell vehicles, which could also be used to cleanly power generators connected to the grid.
Now we're onto something.

6 Tips to Travel Better This Holiday Season, According to the Experts
Here's how to navigate the hectic holiday travel season.
By Aric Jenkins
Passengers queue to check-in at terminal 1 of Heathrow Airport on December 19, 2006 in London, England.
Scott Barbour / Staff
Originally published on December 19th, 2017.
The holidays are a notoriously stressful time to travel, with jampacked airports, congested roads, and increased fares across the board from hotel bookings to rental cars. With a record number of Americans traveling this year — roughly 107 million journeying 50 miles or more, according to the AAA — that anxiety could intensify.
Fortunately, there are some tips that can be utilized to make the best of your voyage. To help travelers navigate holiday travel, we spoke with six globetrotters on how they make the most out of their Christmas vacations. Here's their tips:
Double-check Admission Hours for Sights and Attractions
Those visiting popular destinations during the holidays should check whether attractions are really open or have special hours of operation during the Christmas season, according to Rick Steves, the travel writer and television host known for his PBS documentary series Rick Steves' Europe.
"Your guidebook will say it's open Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Monday on these hours, but the days around Christmas might be different," Steves said. "If a particular sight is important to you, be sure that you confirm that it's open on the day you hope to see it," he added, also suggesting visitors make reservations for the attraction when applicable.
Be a Contrarian Traveler
Consider visiting places that other people rarely visit, as Matthew Kepnes, travel blogger and author of How to Travel the World on $50 a Day, suggested.
"When you think about Christmas, New Years, everyone wants to go someplace warm, so you tend to see higher prices in like Florida, the Caribbean, as well as Mexico and Hawaii," Kepnes said. "So I like to think… go where people don't go. Maybe Europe. If you want some warm weather, then say Italy, Greece, Spain," he added, noting the potential for cheaper airfare.
"Everyone goes to Costa Rica and Nicaragua — why not go to Belize, or maybe Guatemala?" Kepnes said. "My favorite places to go during the holiday season is where everybody does not go."
Be Kind to Airline and Airport Staff
You may be on vacation during the holidays, but the people working to ensure you arrive at your destination are still on the clock, noted Kate McCulley, a Forbes 2017 top 10 travel influencer who runs the Adventurous Kate blog. Treating them with respect can increase your chances of a pleasurable trip at a time when most people are stressed out, she said.
"They always receive disproportionate anger from people nearby, and it can really brighten someone's day just to be nice to them," McCulley explained. "It's always nice to bring, say, a bag of candy bars or something for the airline staff. If you do that, they will take care of you beautifully."
Bring a Spare Change of Clothes in Your Carry-on
The holidays mean crowded airports — and crowded airports mean more bags for workers to check and hence, more room for error, said Andrew Zimmern, host of the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods. He suggested you be prepared for the worst possible outcome, just in case.
"I think lost bags on busier travel days of the year have a 50% increase over the mean, so the chances are greater on your Christmas trip that you're going to get a lost bag than on your March trip," Zimmern said. "I always make sure I have a change of clothes."
Prepare Yourself for Stress — and Accept That Things Can Go Wrong
You can follow all of the tips above and make the necessary preparations for holiday travel. But the most important one, according to CNN Business Traveller host Richard Quest, is coming to terms with the fact that things might go wrong no matter how much you try.
"Just be ready, and when it happens, you'll be able to sit there smiling sweetly," Quest said. "When you travel on Christmas, for you as the traveler — whether you're in 1A or 39D — there is a mental state that you have to put yourself in, that you're traveling at the busiest time of the year and you're going to take whatever comes your way.
"Become zen-like. Do not allow little things to fluster you," Quest added. "The flight's delayed, the crew's late, you may not get the seat you want, the last chicken sandwich may have gone, the movie may not work, but you will at least be sitting there humming along to yourself a little bit happier."
Take Advantage of 'Dead Weeks' for Discounted Airfare
Holiday travel doesn't need to be during the holidays, per se. If you're on a budget, considering celebrating away from home at the start of the New Year (or even after Thanksgiving).
"There are two weeks in the travel industry every year that are known as 'dead weeks,'" explained travel journalist Peter Greenberg. "It's the week immediately after Thanksgiving and the week immediately after New Years. People don't travel the week after Thanksgiving because they're recovering from their obligatory, dysfunctional family get-together, and they don't travel the week after New Years because they're simply recovering
"If you want to do yourself a big favor, travel starting January 3rd and take that week off because nobody's traveling, you'll own it, you can celebrate the New Year on your terms, on your budget, with your friends, and not have to mortgage your house," Greenberg said, adding that the "dead weeks" apply to airlines all over the world.


"IBM's Rational Software unit is considering putting parts of its Jazz collaboration framework into open source, according to an executive of the company.
"'We might think about open-sourcing some of the very lowest layers (of the framework) so that the APIs (application programming interfaces) are available, and people could build on the kernel,' said Scott Rich, a member of the management committee of the Jazz project, on the sidelines of a Rational Software conference in Bangalore yesterday (23 August). One benefit of this strategy is to make the Jazz framework 'more pervasive,' he added..."

This artwork is inspired by the life story of five innocent Black teenage males who were convicted of a heinous crime that they did not commit and were sent to prison for years where they were robbed of their childhood. What I truly admire about these five (now men) and has moved me to make this artwork was the tremendous resilience of spirit and hope that they showed against the heavy hand of the law. That they never gave up on themselves and pushed forward. And they remembered to and continue to uplift and support others who were deeply wronged by our current justice system.

CHAPEL HILL, NC — Trihalomethanes (THMs), byproducts from chlorination, appear to increase significantly in the bloodstream after showering, says a study by researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill School of Public Health.
Public health experts suspect the chemicals might boost the risk of cancer and contribute to reproductive problems such as miscarriages, a release by UNC said. The study involved 50 women living in Cobb County, GA, and Corpus Christi, TX, and indicated that showering shifted the distribution of THMs in blood toward that found in the tap water. Researchers picked those cities because water supplies in the former showed "moderately high" levels of chloroform, the most highly chlorinated THM, and, in the latter, lower total THM concentrations but a higher proportion of brominated species, which UNC said are believed to be potentially more hazardous.
The study aimed to evaluate whether health workers could use THM concentrations in drinking water to predict concentrations in people's blood.
Another finding was that the distribution of the four types of chlorinated and brominated THM species detected in the women's blood reflected the differences of type and concentration in their tap water.
Through blood sample analysis, researchers measured THMs in the blood of 25 women at each site before and soon after they showered, and compared those levels to concentrations found in tap water in their houses, the study said.
THM concentrations were around 1,000 times lower in blood than in tap water, but after the showers, median levels in blood increased by a factor of four, said Miles.
"This showed THMs were getting into blood as a result of water use. It could not address, however, whether the concentrations were harmful or were linked to any particular health problem," Miles added.
Chlorination of tap water should be studied further to prevent THMs, suggested Amy M. Miles, one of the authors of the report about the study that was published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
Support for the research came from the American Water Works Research Foundation, Denver; the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention, Atlanta; and the EPA.


Research supports these theories. In one study, a program offering individuals a chance to Move To Opportunity (MTO), that is, out of their current neighborhood into a safer, more prosperous one, was offered to several residents. Then, the criminal behaviors of the juveniles participating were studied. The researchers found that "moving to a lower-poverty, lower crime neighborhood produces different effects on the criminal behavior of male versus female youth" (Kling, Ludwig and Katz, 2005).
In a two to three year follow up study, the arrest rates of both male and female adolescents dropped. In another study, the researchers found that "social organization (measured as collective efficacy) has a strong protective effect in terms of reducing youth death rates. The impact of collective efficacy holds for both preventable and health-related youth mortality. Results suggest that neighbors may contribute to protecting the lives of youth by helping mobilize residents to engage in community social organization" (Feinberg, 2006).
He suggests that the investment in the community may waylay crime. In general both the social strain and the social disorganization theory encourage involvement of both public and private institution in the lives of potentially violent teens. For example, churches, schools and even private businesses have all done their part to promote social bonds and to reduce crime through a variety of programs aimed at building up rather than striking down communities. On popular program is the D. A. R. E program or Drug Abuse Resistance Program.
Led by police officers and offered in public schools, this program helps limit the negative influences that can stress a teen and teaches the students how to avoid peer pressure. "D. A. R. E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in 75 percent of our nation's school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world" (New D. A. R. E. , 2006). Other programs that involve youth in their communities in positive ways also achieve the goal of reducing juvenile crime.
According to The Department of Education, most juveniles commit crimes between 2pm and 8 pm, after school hours before parents get home. Thus, programs like YMCA after school programs and the Boy/Girl Scouts of America help involve students in supervised recreational activity during those hours. Here the teenagers can avoid the strain and disorganization of the streets and engage in positive activities. "Recreation programs allow youths to connect with other adults and children in the community.
Such positive friendships may assist children in later years… Such involvement helps stop the disconnect many youths feel as they enter their teenage years, and ties them to the community they are a part of" (Juvenile Justice FYI, 2004). Other organizations such as the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) have instituted several programs targeted at reducing gangs. These programs understand that the stresses of life and disorganization of society can lead adolescents to seek out negative bonding in gangs.
As a result, programs such as the Youth Gang Prevention Initiative seek to offer job training and skills assistance to at risk teens that may or may not still be in school. This training will help them find a job, raise self esteem and perhaps escape the negative situation. In addition, the office provides funding to cities and states to help them learn to deal with gang issues themselves (Department of Justice's Youth Gang Prevention Initiative, 2006). Juvenile delinquency plagues most urban and even some suburban and rural areas across the country.
Two sociological theories best explain this phenomenon: the social strain and the social disorganization theories. Both show how stresses in society cause individuals to lack positive bonds and turn to negative influences as the result of a chaotic and ineffective community. Studies have shown this to be the case. However, many programs are developing to assist individuals and communities overcome this strain and chaos to rise above delinquency and offer safety to the community once again.
It is important to realize that not all juvenile crime is caused by 'bad' kids but instead by 'bad' situations. The sociological approach seeks to reduce these bad situations in order to save 'good' kids from becoming bad. Hopefully, these programs will continue to be funded and recognized as important steps toward this goal.

Adam Rabalais' Great Posters for 'Inception,' 'Pan's Labyrinth' & More
https://www.firstshowing.net/2011/adam-rabalais-great-posters-for-inception-pans-labyrinth-more/
While Hollywood itself delivers some solid posters to promote their films, some of my favorite posters come from artistic fans who post their work online. Recently we've featured such work as some complementary posters for Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises, and now we have a new set of posters for several popular films like Inception, TRON, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and many more. Adam Rabalais is the man behind some simple but fantastic images that I would proudly frame on my wall. And the good news is, all of the posters you'll see below are available for purchase! See the posters below!
Check This Out: A Gorgeous New Mondo Poster for 'Pan's Labyrinth'
https://www.firstshowing.net/2011/check-this-out-gorgeous-new-mondo-poster-for-pans-labyrinth/
We've already seen a couple posters highlighting the films of Guillermo del Toro as part of Mondo's Director's Series, but another phenomenal one has just been revealed on SlashFilm. Aaron Horkey (who delivered a killer banner for True Grit last year) designed this very tall and beautiful poster for my favorite film from del Toro's career so far, Pan's Labyrinth. Mondo continually impresses me with the talent they gather for these special edition posters, and this release is no different. This fantastic poster was recently handed out at a special screening, but for those not in the vicinity, the print will also go on sale online soon.
Metacritic's Best Reviewed Movie of the Decade: Pan's Labyrinth
https://www.firstshowing.net/2009/pans-labyrinth-is-metacritics-best-reviewed-movie-of-the-decade/
Surprised? Well, this is Metacritic, a site similar to Rotten Tomatoes that compiles reviews from the top critics, so it's not just someone picking their own favorites films. "Our film staff has been collecting reviews for each week's new theatrical releases since the fall of 1999, and, as a result, we have a nearly complete database of films from the past decade: certainly every major release from 2000-09, and virtually all minor releases, including obscure titles that barely made an appearance on the big screen." They then ranked every film ever reviewed by their Metacritic score and Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth ended up on top.
Pan's Labyrinth's Ivana Baquero Cast in The New Daughter
https://www.firstshowing.net/2007/pans-labyrinths-ivana-baquero-cast-in-the-new-daughter/
That incredible young actress, Ivana Baquero, the star of Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, has finally been recognized for her stunning talent and has been cast in an English-language film titled The New Daughter. My only concern is it's a nothing horror film, but let's hope she can bring something unique and refreshing to the movie. The film is based on a short story that follows a single dad who has moved his two children to a remote farm where a strange mound in the surrounding fields appears to be the key to his daughter's (played by Baquero) increasingly ominous behavior. Sounds like a combination of The Messengers, Signs, and the X-Files movie all in one.
Post-Oscar: Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men Robbed!
https://www.firstshowing.net/2007/post-oscar-pans-labyrinth-and-children-of-men-robbed/
Children of Men director Alfonso Cuarón applauds a winner at the Oscars.
There were a few sure fire winners at last night's Oscars: Jennifer Hudson for Supporting Actress, Helen Mirren for Actress, Forest Whitaker for Actor, and yes, Pan's Labyrinth for Foreign Language Film and Children of Men for Cinematography. But wait - Pan's Labyrinth didn't win Best Foreign Language Film, and Children of Men didn't win Best Cinematography. What happened? They both got robbed of the awards they deserved and that they were supposed to win. There have always been upsets at the Oscars, but this year these two were almost beyond frustration in their loss.
Oscar Nominations Announced - Pan's Labyrinth Earns 6 Noms
https://www.firstshowing.net/2007/oscar-nominations-announced/
The nominations for the 79th Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning, and without further ado we'll get into the meat of them. Sadly, The Fountain was not nominated at all. However, Dreamgirls led the way with a total of 8 nominations - one of which was not Best Picture. I have a feeling in my gut that it'll go to The Departed, however it is an incredible industry defining moment to see Little Miss Sunshine nominated (instead of Dreamgirls).
I'm also torn between Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men for cinematography. They both have the guaranteed best cinematography of the year - but I really want Children of Men to win some awards, and because I know Pan's Labyrinth will already win Best Foreign Language Feature. Read on for the full list of Oscar noms!
Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth: Astonishing, Riveting, Brilliant
https://www.firstshowing.net/2007/pans-labyrinth-review/
From the brilliant mind of Mexican director Guillermo del Toro comes his latest film, Pan's Labyrinth, a Spanish-language adult fairy tale that exudes excellence and vivid imagery in every last frame. Only del Toro's imagination can create such a wonderful mix of dramatic tragedy and fantasy.
Pan's Labyrinth Still Filling Screenings and Selling Out!

Pan's Labyrinth for Foreign Language Film Academy Award!
https://www.firstshowing.net/2006/pans-labyrinth-for-foreign-language-film-academy-award/
It may be a little bit early to jump the gun, especially having not even seen the movie, but I am already supporting Pan's Labyrinth for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar! My basis for this lies largely in the amazing reviews so far that are both publicly seen online as well as privately discussed.
It was announced that the highly anticipated fantasy film by writer/director Guillermo del Toro was chosen to represent Mexico in this year's Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. The film received standing ovations at both the Cannes and Toronto film festivals. Pan's Labyrinth will be released on December 29th of this year, right at the very cutoff for the Academy Awards.
Pan's Labyrinth Receives Standing Ovation at Toronto Film Fest
https://www.firstshowing.net/2006/pans-labyrinth-receives-standing-ovation-at-toronto-film-fest/
Amidst much controversy that has occurred recently at film festivals (most recently The Fountain being booed at the Venice Film Festival), a newsworthy positive reaction has finally come out from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) that is currently underway. Director/screenwriter Guillermo del Toro's upcoming film Pan's Labyrinth was shown at the TIFF Sunday afternoon and received a lengthy standing ovation including cheers after the screening ended. Fellow news site Cinematical is reporting from the TIFF and posted the exciting news last night.
Pan's Labyrinth is a Spanish-language film that has been receiving an incredible amount of positive feedback early of its release in theaters on December 29th of this year. The film is complete, including the DVD, as Guillermo mentioned he was working on the DVD a few weeks back in an interview at LatinoReview.com. Pan's Labyrinth is a very visually stunning movie about a young girl who moves to a rural area up North in Spain in post-war 1944. Ofelia, the girl, lives in an imaginary world of her own creation and must come to terms with the real world that surrounds her.
In addition to latest amazing trailer for Pan's Labyrinth that was released just a week back, JoBlo.com and LatinoReview.com have written glowing reviews for the film (9/10 and an "A" rating respectively). You can also find our Comic-Con panel coverage in our archives. This movie is receiving not only a lot of hype through its trailers and photos, but incredible reviews. This is a film that will break the bounds of the typical Hollywood "crap" that gets released all year long - a rare happening. I'm looking forward to its release in December and I hope many others out there are as well.

Phinehas ben Jacob Ha-Kohen
PHINEHAS BEN JACOB HA-KOHEN (Kafra ), eighth century Palestinian paytan. He is apparently the last in the list of the "early poets" given in *Saadiah Gaon's Sefer ha-Agron. As the acrostic to one of his piyyutim implies, he came from Kafra, near Tiberias, and his connection with Ereẓ Israel is further indicated in his piyyutim by the representation of a number of customs in force only in that country. His assumed identification with R. Phinehas, head of the academy, who is mentioned among the early masoretes, is possible, but not sure. A prolific poet, Phinehas wrote his works approximately in the second half of the eighth century, at least after 748. Most of his compositions were found in the Cairo Genizah. The critical edition of Sh. Elitsur (2004) includes more than 140 piyyutim of many diverse genres. Outstanding among them are Kiddush Yeraḥim, piyyutim for all the months of the year, a series of piyyutim concerning the 24 divisions of kohanim, and two monumental kedushta for Shemini Aẓeret. The Kedushta contains an important and colorful amount of midrashic matter; the sources of some of these Midrashim are unknown. Phinehas' style places him in the school of Eleazar *Kallir, but his expression is usually simpler and his poetry original. In only a few compositions does he use many neologisms and an obscure style, with typical strange paytanic forms.

The Museum of Food and Drink is an embryonic idea that looks to do for food and drink what aquariums have done for fish. Currently operating a lab out of a garage front in Brooklyn, MOFAD has big ambitions. According to the website "MOFAD seeks to advance public understanding of the culture, history, science, production, and commerce of food and drink."
There is a small exhibit running right now that explains the flavor industry. It centeres on the comparison of artificial versus natural flavors. The history of the discovery and manufacturing processes features interactive "smell" machines that allow the visitor to mix scents to understand the impact on taste, perception and appeal.
MOFAD is hard to recommend as a destination, because it is small and takes minutes to tour. However, located on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, MOFAD promotes itself in the wealth of things to do around it. The lab is located across the street from the newly refurbished McCarren Park Pool.
MOFAD also features a summer guide to North Brooklyn, which features great restaurants, shops and breweries around the area.
So if you are planning a trip to the area, stop by and see the beginnings. Wouldn't we all have liked to see The MET or The Natural History Museum in the very beginning?

Vice Admiral William S. Sims, Commander, United States Naval Forces Operating in European Waters, to Commander Wilson Brown Jr., Commander, U.S. Destroyer Parker
21st September, 1918.
From: Force Commander.
To: Commanding Officer U.S.S. PARKER.
Subject: Destroyer Hunts.
Reference: Commanding Officer U.S.S. PARKER, letter #50-B-655. of 8th September, 1918. [Attached]
1. The Force Commander has noted the recommendation made in above reference. Some of the measures recommended in this letter are being carried out, others are not at present practical because of inadequate equipment of many of the destroyers, and because of the necessity of co-ordinating our efforts with those of our Allies.
2. All destroyers in European Waters are being fitted with listening equipment as fast as they become available, present installations being installed including the ALLEN, CALDWELL, MANLEY and PARKER. The first three of these are being fitted with blister type MV similar to the WILKES installation, and the PARKER with a new keel type.
3. The ALLEN, KIMBERLEY and CALDWELL have been organized at Base 61 into a hunting unit, to operate offensively against submarines whenever they are not urgently required for convoy work. The Force Commander believes that the best results will be obtained by vessels which have operated together for some time, and that this assignment of destroyers to a more or less permanent hunting unit, will produce good results.
4. These destroyers have already prepared a doctrine for hunting based on their experience which is of much value. The Force Commander appreciatesn appreciates your paper, and hopes you will keep him informed of any new developments brought out during your experience in hunting.
/s/ R.H. LEIGH.

BASE – 27.
8TH. September, 1918.
From : Commanding Officer.
To : Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Operating in European Waters.
Via : Commander, U.S. Naval Base Twenty-Seven.2
SUBJECT Recommend hunt units of destroyers based on Plymouth, Queenstown and Brest, be organized for offensive action against enemy submarines on the High Seas.
Reference: (a) Paragraph 3, Force Commander's Intelligence Report dated 20 August, 1918.3
1. A submarine chaser is the most effective type of listening vessel available for offensive action against enemy submarines in smooth water and within a restricted radius from the chaser base. Because of their limited cruising radius, comparatively slow speed, and small size, however, the chaser cannot be counted on for effective action off shore during the winter months, but the destroyer is the best type for off shore operations.
2. Numerous destroyers might search a comparatively small area independently without ever reaching sight or sound contact of a submarine, but four or more working togethercould be effectually search an area, and upon making contact could so effectually bomb the locality as to make escape doubtful.
3. It is recommended that when an enemy submarine is known to be operating off shore along the Trans-Atlantic routes, all available U.S. Destroyers be organized to conduct a hunt, whenever the destroyers can be made available for this duty.
4. The following procedure and doctrine is recommended as a basis for discussion.
"PRELIMINARY MEASURES.
1. Force Commander notifies the Commanders of Queenstown, Plymouth and Brest of probable location of enemy and direct[s] all available destroyers be assigned for hunt.
2. Queenstown, Plymouth and Brest report the number of destroyers available and date when they will be ready.
3. Force Commander designates rendezvous and time and date of meeting.
DESIRABLE CHARACTERISTICS OF DESTROYERS DESIGNATED.
1. Efficient listening gear.
2. Radio direction finder.
3. Maximum allowance of depthcharges.
TACTICS DURING HUNT.
1. From North and south scouting line, five miles interval between destroyers, at northeaster limit of possible position of enemy submarine.
2. Proceed until dark on westerly course at fifteen knots with three listening periods of five minutes each, according to schedule now in use by submarine chasers.
3. At night steam on reverse course, speed eight knots, with two listening periods of ten minutes each.
4. Continue on course west until the western probable position of enemy is reached, then ships left and steam south until the northern destroyer has reached the line formerly worked by the southern destroyer, then ships left and work east, continuing to sweep area in an east and west direction until southern limit is reached.
5. Should it become necessary to change line of bearing from north to south, the right center unit acts as guide and destroyers proceed by most direct method to their proper positions on new line of bearings.
6. When contact is made, send out by radio immediately a predetermined message for the sound or sight contact with enemy submarine.
7. Upon receipt of contact information, all destroyers close as rapidly as possible, (without interfering with listening periods) to three hundred yards distance.
8. Upon signal to attack from destroyer making contact, destroyers advance on parallel lines and drop signal, double or triple barrage.
9. Destroyer making contact exercise discretion depending on certainty of 'fix', as to whether attack should be made before all destroyers have closed to three hundred yards.
1. All communications that do not require immediate action by the entire force to be transmitted by Aldis Lamp.
2. All communications that require immediate action to be transmitted by low power radio.
3. Use Auxiliary Code (C.B.0764) and Emergency Table 'J' (C.B.0724).
4. Provide additional signals for :-
(a) Have made sound contact with enemy submarine,
(b) Sighted enemy submarine.
(c) Hear enemy submarine on radio, bearing as indicated.
(d)Observe five minute listening periods every ten minutes.
(e) Attakc.
5. Provide a system and doctrine for reporting and plotting bearing of enemy as determined by each destroyer: (1) for sound contact; (2) radio direction.

South Africa's green revolution gathering momentum
Hydrogen fuel and containerised fuel cell installations at One Military Hospital in Pretoria.
FONT SIZE: –+
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The Covid-19 pandemic has presented countries around the world with immense challenges, as the impact of the virus has affected every aspect of everyday life as we know it, write Dr Cosmas Chiteme, Dr Rebecca Maserumule and Prof Dmitri Bessarabov. (Chiteme and Maserumule are senior managers at the Department of Science and Innovation responsible for power and hydrogen and energy respectively, and Bessarabov is the Director for HySA Infrastructure Competence Centre, co-hosted by North West University and the CSIR).
The authors write that while the virus has had a devastating social and economic impact in both developed and developing nations, at the same time it has presented nations with an opportunity to rethink how they manage economies going forward.
One of the key debates currently taking place around the world is to speed up the adoption of green technologies.
In South Africa the outbreak of the pandemic has highlighted the benefits of past investments by the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) in research infrastructure and a number of research and development initiatives.
The DSI's investments in hydrogen fuel cell technologies is particularly proving beneficial especially since the country continues to experience energy security challenges.
On August 19, the DSI's Director-General Dr Phil Mjwara toured a field hospital at 1 Military Hospital in Pretoria established to treat Covid-19 cases. The field hospital is being powered by seven hydrogen fuel cell systems as the primary power source. The field has facilities for testing and screening, as well as life-saving equipment such as ventilators in the intensive care unit.
The project is a partnership between the DSI, the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, the Department of Defence and private companies like Bambili Energy, which is committed to commercialising intellectual property developed through the DSI's Hydrogen South Africa (HySA) Programme. Further contributions in the form of hydrogen and methanol for refuelling of the fuel cell systems were received from Sasol, Air Products and Protea Chemicals.
Hydrogen fuel cell technologies are globally recognised for their potential to decarbonise the energy and transport sectors. Fuel cells produce electricity by means of a chemical reaction, using hydrogen as the basic fuel and platinum-based catalysts. Besides being efficient and reliable, fuel cells can be deployed rapidly and scaled up easily as the need arises, and their maintenance costs are relatively low.
The DSI has initiated a process, with other government and industry stakeholders, to develop a roadmap that will lead South Africa towards a hydrogen society. The roadmap project is expected to be concluded in six to 12 months.
When South Africa hosted the 30th Steering Committee meeting of the International Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) in December 2018 in Pretoria, it was clear at the time that the interest in hydrogen and its potential to be part of the low carbon transition had gathered pace. Two major developments had preceded that IPHE SC Meeting in Pretoria, namely the 2015 Paris Agreement and the formation of the Hydrogen Council in Davos in January 2017. During the deliberations of the 2018 IPHE SC, it became clear for most local stakeholders that South Africa was not far behind in its hydrogen and fuel cell developments and that the country's investment in the HySA Programme was well respected and appreciated globally. However, it was also an important point to note that despite the progress made through the HySA Programme, the country could not realise major investments in hydrogen-related technologies without a broader and high-level strategy of integrating hydrogen within its economy. This realisation triggered the multi-stakeholder process of developing a Hydrogen Society Roadmap in South Africa.
Many countries have identified hydrogen as an energy vector to decarbonise industrial operations and unlock further specific opportunities in the new economy.
For example, the "National Hydrogen Roadmap" developed by CSIRO of Australia in 2018 is aiming at unlocking Australia's hydrogen opportunities to help inform and coordinate industry investment and government policy to bring together the broad Hydrogen stakeholder group (industry, government, research) to develop a clear view of the opportunity for Australia. Key drivers include decarbonisation, energy diversification and meeting feedstock needs. Unlocking emerging overseas (export) demand (especially from Japan, Korea, China, etc.) is key. Furthermore, the need to continue developing local research on hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and supportive policies were highlighted.
Key development areas were identified as hydrogen production, direct combustion options, transport options, export commodity options and industrial feedstock options. The time horizon for the roadmap is 2030. A value chain approach was also used, targeting opportunities for hydrogen export. It is aimed at setting up a framework for policies, incentives and tax relief via application of National Gas Law and relevant jurisdictional laws and regulations related to hydrogen, review of gas pipeline regulations to consider including gaseous hydrogen, as well as consideration of reforms for the energy market to improve hydrogen integration. There are many parallels that can be drawn between South Africa and Australia and the South African (SA) roadmap development process will certainly be mindful of that.
As part of developing the SA Hydrogen Society roadmap, a number of other roadmaps have been analysed. These include roadmaps developed recently by Japan, Germany, South Korea and the United States of America (USA). The common targets featured in each of the national roadmaps were identified as demand-side targets, supply-side targets, infrastructure targets, and research, development and innovation (RDI). Another key feature is the extensive consultation with stakeholders from various sectors.
In this regard, a number of stakeholder consultations are currently underway as part of the SA roadmap development process. Key stakeholders have been drawn from the both the national and international community while ensuring that participation and collaboration from both the private and public sector is inclusive. The next critical steps are sessions with experts identified in various growth areas such as energy, transport, industry, mining, buildings, export and RDI; which will culminate in a stakeholder collaboration workshop.
The purpose of these consultations is to give the opportunity for key stakeholders to provide inputs and share knowledge on the key aspects of creating a hydrogen society. Input from these interviews will be utilised to conduct a baseline assessment of the current hydrogen landscape and inform the key components of the roadmap. Examples of queries that are being researched include, but are not limited to, hydrogen production and utilisation in South Africa, policies to enable a just transition to a Hydrogen Society, demand and benefits for hydrogen to the South African economy, unique positioning of South Africa in the global Hydrogen Economy, perceived barriers to hydrogen adoption in South Africa, hydrogen value chain aspects, hydrogen and its adoption as an energy source in South African society, existing hydrogen technologies in South Africa, as well as required investments in infrastructure and technologies.
One of the positive comments that have emerged from the engagements with international stakeholders is the investments that South Africa has made in the RDI space through HySA. Although established with an initial focus on mineral beneficiation, the HySA Programme has become an important pillar in South Africa's quest towards a Hydrogen Society. HySA will continue to play a key role in executing the research and development efforts as well as in the demonstration of fuel cell applications in various sectors, in collaboration with both public and private sector partners. However, this will now be done with a focus on supporting the implementation of the Hydrogen Society Roadmap, post its approval.
South Africa's favourable position in terms of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, makes it a strong candidate for exporting SA "sunshine" in the form of hydrogen. Globally, wind and solar photovoltaic are being used to power megawatt electrolysers to produce hydrogen as a viable option to decarbonise sectors using hydrogen as an input chemical. As highlighted previously, in its 2050 vision, the Hydrogen Council estimates that hydrogen will convert and store 500 TWh of electricity from renewables that would otherwise be curtailed. The stored hydrogen will enable international energy distribution, linking renewable abundant regions to those requiring energy imports. Given its abundant renewable resources and the success of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), South Africa, together with the rest of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region should position itself to be a significant exporter of renewable hydrogen.
The 2015 Paris Agreement has brought to the fore the role that hydrogen and fuel cell technologies could play in the decarbonisation of the energy and transport sectors in order to limit global warming. To achieve the two-degree scenario, the world will need to make dramatic changes to decrease energy related carbon dioxide emissions by 60% until 2050.
Recently, a number of studies have been undertaken highlighting the need for an energy transition that breaks the link between economic growth and increased carbon dioxide emissions. An increasing deployment of renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind is certainly part of addressing the situation but without a viable energy storage option, the challenge remains around the optimal usage of the renewable resources and subsequent management of the grid. Currently, two main options exist for energy storage: batteries and hydrogen.
While batteries are currently the most common way to store power and balance grids, the solution has its limitations in terms of cost and efficiency for long-term storage. In this regard, hydrogen, with its greater cost-effectiveness and efficiency for long-duration energy storage as well as its green attributes, offers a more attractive alternative. However, the use of batteries for short-term storage and hydrogen for long-term storage, will become viable for reliable grids and a shorter trajectory towards the decarbonisation targets. Either way, from a mineral and renewable resources perspective, South Africa and the SADC region stand to gain from the development of both technologies, provided that investments are well directed to support local beneficiation and skills development to support the new industries for social and economic benefits.
The DSI will continue providing updates on the progress of the SA National Hydrogen Society Roadmap development process.

Vietnam Heavy US Casualties
1968: Figures released show that more Americans were killed during the first six months of 1968 than in all of 1967 and were a direct result of the Communist Tet Offensive. Combined with heavy U.S. casualties and disillusionment with President Johnson's conduct of the Vietnam War, his popularity with the people continued to decrease, causing him to decide on the nomination of his party for re-election.
1998: After many months of negotiations, together with a bidding war with BMW and high court battles Rolls Royce is sold to Volkswagen for £ 479m. Volkswagen has said that the production of Rolls Royce cars will continue at Rolls-Royce's Crewe headquarters in England. The Saga of who owned the rights to produce cars with the famous Rolls Royce emblem for the next few years as unknown to Volkswagen. Over the next few years BMW and Volkswagen did come to an arrangement where Volkswagen own and build Bentleys with Volkswagen Engines at the Old Rolls Royce factory in Crewe in England and BMW own and produced Rolls Royce Cars with BMW engines at Goodwood in England.

The number of divorces occurring because of Facebook and other social networking sites has been on the rise since these sites have become increasingly popular, research claims. These sites are being utilized more and more by unhappy individuals to seek out and have an affair and cheat on their partner.
Facebook is now being cited in almost one in five of online divorce petitions, attorneys have claimed.
People will post just about anything on social networking sites. And the information can be used against them.
The social networking site, which connects old friends and allows users to make new ones online, is being blamed for an increasing number of marital breakdowns.
Divorce lawyers claim the explosion in the popularity of websites such as Facebook and Bebo is tempting to people to cheat on their partners. Suspicious spouses have also used the websites to find evidence of flirting and even affairs which have led to divorce.
One law firm, which specialises in divorce, claimed almost one in five petitions they processed cited Facebook.
An American insurance company, in defending its refusal to pay out a claim, is seeking to call in evidence personal online postings, including the contents of any MySpace or Facebook pages the litigants may have, to see if their eating disorders might have "emotional causes". And the case is far from a lone one. Suddenly, those saucy pictures and intimate confessions on social networking sites can be taken down and used in evidence against you in ways never dreamed of.
Flirty emails and messages found on Facebook pages are increasingly being cited as evidence of unreasonable behaviour. Computer firms have even cashed in by developing software allowing suspicious spouses to electronically spy on someone's online activities.
One 35-year-old woman even discovered her husband was divorcing her via Facebook. Conference organiser Emma Brady was distraught to read that her marriage was over when he updated his status on the site to read: "Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady."
Last year a 28-year-old woman ended her marriage after discovering her husband had been having a virtual affair with someone in cyberspace he had never met. Amy Taylor 28, split from David Pollard after discovering he was sleeping with an escort in the game Second Life, a virtual world where people reinvent themselves.
Around 14 million Britons are believed to regularly use social networking sites to communicate with old friends or make new ones. The popularity of the Friends Reunited website several years ago was also blamed for a surge in divorces as bored husbands and wives used it to contact old flames and first loves.
The UK's divorce rate has fallen in recent years, but two in five marriages are still failing according the latest statistics. Mr Keenan believes that the general divorce rate will rocket in 2010 with the recession taking the blame.
In the US, a sex assault victim seeking compensation faces the prospect of her MySpace and Facebook pages being produced in court. In Texas, a driver whose car was involved in a fatal accident found his MySpace postings ("I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunkaholic") part of the prosecution's case.
According to an article in USA research by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers conveys that, over the last five years, 81% of divorce lawyers have either utilized or encountered evidence from social networking sites. Facebook is the most cited, appearing in 66% of cases using subpoenaed Internet evidence.
Now, the problem here is not the sites themselves. Marriages break up for the most ancient of reasons, power struggles, lack of kindness, loss of love, hurt, money problems, infidelity and the like. The Internet doesn't cause marital problems (people do) but it can make matters worse.
Infidelity is without doubt, easier because of the sheer access to so many potential lovers. Gambling takes on new forms (like a poker addiction) found in one's living room computer. But anonymity is not what one likes to think, because the Internet also makes it easier for the offending spouse to get caught.
The double life you try to lead on the Internet might just come back to haunt you. Lawyers know how to find information you've posted on social networking sites that you thought had been kept hidden. Sage advice: Like driving a car, it is a good idea to know about the power of technology before using it and finding yourself in trouble.

When I was at my mum's last week I treated myself to a couple of bits from Yours to cheer myself up.
Here's the best close up of my make up I could get, as I forgot to take my glasses off. I did a cat eye.
I also got a few pairs of funky knickers and a pair of hot pink leggings, photo of those coming up in the next few days.

Majority of Ghanaians trust the NPP – Afrobarometer survey
The Center for Democratic Development (CDD)'s latest Afrobarometer report has revealed that a relatively large number of Ghanaians trust the New Patriotic Party.
The 7th round of the survey which among other things sought to seek the opinions of Ghanaians as far as their confidence in some state institutions and political parties is concerned revealed that 33% of Ghanaians trust the ruling NPP government 'a lot' as compared to the 14% who don't, 28% also indicated that they 'somewhat' trust the NPP.
The report also had 49% of respondents pledging their support for the NPP as against the 22% for the opposition National Democratic Congress.
Confidence levels in the police as an institution were however on the low side as majority represented by 34% maintained that they do not trust the police 'at all' as against the 18% who do. 22% and 24% of respondents answered 'somewhat' and 'just a little' respectively.
About the report
Afrobarometer is a pan-African, non-partisan research network that conducts public attitude surveys on democracy, governance, economic conditions, and related issues in countries across Africa. Six rounds of surveys were conducted between 1999 and 2015, and Round 7 surveys are being carried out in 2016-2017. Afrobarometer conducts face-to-face interviews in the language of the respondent's choice with nationally representative samples of 1,200 or 2,400 respondents.
Afrobarometer is produced collaboratively by social scientists from across Africa.

De zuidelijke franjeaap of Angolese franjeaap (Colobus angolensis) is een Afrikaanse soort uit de familie apen van de Oude Wereld (Cercopithecini).

Uiterlijke kenmerken
De zuidelijke franjeaap heeft een zwart gezicht en een zwarte vacht. Het gezicht is omringd door lang, wit haar, en verder heeft hij een mantel van lange witte haren op de schouders. De lange, dunne staart kan geheel wit zijn, maar ook bijna geheel zwart, op het puntje na. Er bestaat grote regionale variatie in de hoeveelheid wit in de vacht en de lengte van de vacht. Dieren uit de bergen hebben een langere, vollere vacht dan dieren uit het laagland.

Mannetjes zijn groter dan vrouwtjes. Het mannetje heeft een kop-romplengte van 50 tot 67 centimeter, het vrouwtje een kop-romplengte van 50 tot 61 centimeter. De staart is 63 tot 90 centimeter lang, het lichaamsgewicht is 9 tot 20 kilogram.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
De zuidelijke franjeaap leeft in dichte regenwouden, zowel in het laagland als in de bergen en aan de kust. Hij leeft in het grootste deel van het Kongogebied, ten zuiden en ten noordoosten van de Kongostroom, oostwaarts tot de Ruwenzori, Burundi en Zuidwest-Oeganda. In Oost-Afrika is de zuidelijke franjeaap te vinden in de kustwouden van Kenia en Tanzania en in enkele geïsoleerde bergen, op een hoogte van 400 tot 1000 meter. De soort komt overigens nauwelijks in Angola voor, ondanks de soortnaam angolensis. De zuidelijke franjeaap leeft van alle zwart-witte franjeapen het zuidelijkst. Zijn verspreidingsgebied ligt ten zuiden van het verspreidingsgebied van de oostelijke franjeaap (Colobus guereza).

Voedsel

Het menu van de zuidelijke franjeaap bestaat voor ongeveer twee derde uit bladeren en voor een derde uit vruchten en zaden. In Oost-Tanzania bestaat het dieet voornamelijk uit rijpe vruchten, een derde van het dieet bestaat uit volgroeide bladeren. Doordat ze niet afhankelijk zijn van jonge bladeren, heeft de zuidelijke franjeaap van alle franjeapen het grootste verspreidingsgebied.
