Erythronium is one of my favorite genera of wildflowers. This year, for some reason, they are blooming prolifically to the delight of bees and myself alike! Honeybees, bumblebees, and anthophorine bees (Anthophora or Habropoda) are visiting the flowers of Erythronium hendersonii, and surely other species, feverously. I expect this year to be one of the best for seed production, the primary mode of reproduction (as opposed to vegetative increase) for E. hendersonii and oregonum, two species which I've been fortunate enough to observe directly in habitat this year.
A short introduction for those not introduced to this genus: There are around 20 to 31 species in all, many from the Western US, a few in the Eastern US, and a some in Eurasia. They are in the lily family (Liliaceae), and so related to Fritillaria, Lilium, and Tulipa among others. These are mostly Spring ephemerals, though some of the alpine and subalpine species bloom in the Summer as the snow melts. They grow from bulbs (some say corms), with tunics that don't seem to cover the entire bulb, thus they are susceptible to drying out. Contractile roots pull the bulbs down deeply, perhaps to help them evade herbivores (voles, etc.) and to keep them from desiccation is Summer.
Erythronium hendersonii mottled leaf. E. oregonum is similarly mottled.
Many of the species have mottled or spotted leaves, some plain green. In general, mottled leaves are found in species growing in the West while spotted leaves are found in species in the East and Eurasia. Flowers are often born singly (sometimes in clusters in mature and happy plants, and nearly all species have flowers that face downwards (except Erythronium rostratum, a yellow-flowered American forest dweller of the central-southern states). Most are probably bee pollinated, though they aren't specialized and can probably be pollinated by a variety of insects, including flies.
The pendant flowers have multiple beneficial consequences. First is to exclude inefficient pollinators, since pendant flowers are difficult for many insects to land on (beetles or butterflies, for example, struggle to land on fully pendant flowers). Bees are the primary pollinators of Erythronium, though flies are certainly capable of pollinating the open flowers and may be of special importance in forest dwelling and alpine species where bees are not always as abundant. Pendant flowers also have the advantage of being protected from rain. The pollen is dehisced over a relatively delayed period since the anthers don't open all at once. In general, three anthers will open first while three will open days after the first three. This lessens the chance that hard rain or wind will damage the pollen. The recurved tepals further protect the flower by closing or bending down in rain or in diminished sunlight, then opening up again when the sun comes out.
Bulbs always seem to grow deeper than one would think, and digging wild plants is likely to kill them (besides being an unethical practice). Fortunately, Erythronium is relatively easy to grow from seed. Seed of most species can be sown in Autumn on the surface of the potting medium. As per advice from friend and bulb grower extraordinaire Ian Young, soaking the seeds overnight in water improves the first year germ rate. I have found this to be accurate, as seed I had acquired of a handful of species was successfully sown this way. Left outside throughout Winter, all of my Erythronium seed pots have germinated. I will allow them to grow on for another year before repotting them or planting them out into the garden. As stated, neither E. hendersonii or oregonum increase reliably vegetatively and are best increased by seed.
A species from Eastern North America, yellow-flowered Erythronium americanum, has been heavily researched. In a handful of studies, mycorrhizal relationships between E. americanum and associated plants were examined. The most exciting discovery, in my opinion, was that bulbs (or as they say, corms) infected with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi which enters the roots, unlike ectomycorrhiza which doesn't enter the roots, were found to be nearly twice as large as bulbs treated with fungicide. E. americanum produces roots in the Autumn, as do all Erythronium, and it is then that they are infected. Surrounding plants and trees, such as sugar maple (Acer saccharum) grow in close association with E. americanum and have been found to share mycorrhiza. Another interesting discovery was that E. americanum may help the establishment of young sugar maples by supplying them with carbon through the mycorrhizal network. Ian Young wrote a concise piece on the seeds of Erythronium, including how to grow them, found here: Erythroniums in Cultivation: Seeds (Ch.1). As an aside, the bulbs are supposedly edible, though I couldn't bring myself to eat something so beautiful (and I discourage anyone from eating wild or unfamiliar plants for ethical and safety concerns).
I speculate that other species of Erythronium also participate in mycorrhizal networks, and that they benefit from the infection as well. Many of the trees and shrubs that grow in association with Erythronium hendersonii and E. oregonum benefit from or require mycorrhiza (Acer sp., Arbutus menziesii, Arctostaphylos viscida, Ceanothus sp., Quercus sp., Pseudotsuga menziesii, etc.), therefore it is not inconceivable that they too benefit from mycorrhizal associations.
Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, differentiated from the type by having white anthers.
I had recently discovered, entirely by accident, a small population of Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum on a nearby mountain above a small creek. It was my first encounter with the species in Oregon, the wild, or anywhere. The air was moist, no doubt in result of the running water complete with a small waterfall, and it was cool. In small clearings of Arbutus menziesii, Pseudotsuga menziesii, leafless Quercus, small groups of E. oregonum were awaiting discovery. There were a few individuals of E. hendersonii, though not many. There are conflicting reports of whether the two species hybridize. I didn't see any hybrids, though I did see the species growing in close vicinity. The more adaptable E. hendersonii ventured slightly into the woods, while the more picky E. oregonum was solely found in forest clearings.
Since I have lived in Oregon, Erythronium hendersonii has been a favorite wildflower of mine. Compared to E. oregonum, it is more common in hotter and drier areas, and prefers forest edges to cool shady clearings. This could explain the lack of hybridization, the two seem to prefer distinctly different habitats. This year has been a particularly floriferous year for E. hendersonii, and it is the first year I've seen honeybees visiting the flowers. The typical pollinators, based on my observations, are species of Bombus and anthophorine bees. More photos and information can be found on the Pacific Bulb Society page: Erythronium hendersonii.

Recruiting In-Demand, Skilled Immigrants to Canada
Express Entry will contribute to Canada's economic growth and international competitiveness
January 1, 2015 — Ottawa — Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today celebrated the successful launch of Express Entry – a highly anticipated new application management system designed to get people with the skills to succeed in Canada's economy here faster than ever.
Starting today, skilled workers who want to apply to Canada's key economic immigration programs are able to create an online profile and express their interest in coming to Canada permanently.
Candidates who meet the minimum criteria will be accepted into the pool and will be ranked according to various factors. These include language proficiency, education and work experience. Each is a leading indicator of one's likelihood of integrating fully and quickly into Canada's economy and Canadian society.
The highest ranking skilled workers will be invited to apply for permanent residence and most will see their application processed in six months or less. The first invitations to apply will be issued during the last week of January.
Express Entry marks major progress for skilled foreign nationals and employers alike. Express Entry will allow Citizenship and Immigration Canada to identify those who are most likely to succeed economically in Canada, instead of simply processing applications on a first-come, first-served basis. This will result in faster processing and will allow the Government of Canada to be more flexible and respond better to Canada's changing labour market needs.
Express Entry will manage applications for three federal economic immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Canadian Experience Class.
Provinces and Territories will be able to use the Express Entry system to select a portion of candidates for their Provincial Nominee Programs.
Once candidates have been invited to apply for permanent residence they will need to complete the immigration process, which includes health and security checks. Complete applications will be processed in six months or less.
Canada has admitted more than 1.6 million new permanent residents since 2006, and will admit between 260,000 and 285,000 in 2015 alone. There are many reasons the world's best and brightest Choose Canada.
"Our government is focused first and foremost on job creation and economic growth. With the launch of Express Entry, Canada will be able to attract skilled newcomers who can succeed in, and help grow Canada's economy."
"Successful Express Entry candidates will be able to hit the ground running and start contributing to our communities, labour market and economy more quickly than ever before."
"In my time as Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister, I have made backlog elimination a top priority. Express Entry will help eliminate long wait times and get eligible skilled foreign nationals to Canada in six months or less."

JUSTICE FOR GERALD MARSHALL
Help Save an Innocent Life
GERALD'S CASE
GERALD'S INNOCENCE
GERALD'S INJUSTICES
HELP SAVE GERALD
Gerald's Art
Death Row Cell
Gerald went to trial and was charged of being the trigger man during the fake robbery. There were several people who testified at his trial. Those people are:
Clerence Green (jail house snitch)
Green was facing 25 years to life in prison for physically assaulting his wife and a female police officer. Green went from facing a life sentence to a one-year sentence for testifying against Gerald. Saying Gerald told him he committed the murder.
Tony Ketchum (store clerk, eyewitness)
Ketchum was an employee who was at the Whataburger. He testified he was not able to see the shooters face when he came in, but in his statement to police he stated that he saw the shooter coming in the window with a silver gun in his left hand. Ronald Bo Worthy is left handed. Gerald is right handed.
Wilbert Marsh (store clerk, eyewitness)
Marsh, another employee at the Whataburger restaurant, testified at Marshall's trial as the key witness. He too – with Ketchum – stated a person entered the drive through window with a silver pistol in his left hand. He also said that the person who entered the store was the person who shot Dean. The officer who lead the investigations, showed Marsh a photo line-up with suspects after the crime and said that Marsh immediately picked out a person and that person was not Gerald Marshall.
Dennis Meyer (prisoner housed with co-defendants)
Dennis Meyer, a prisoner with 25 convictions on his criminal record, was housed in jail with Calliham and Worthy. Meyer testified that he helped them prepare affidavits to lie on Marshall saying that he was the person who did every thing. He also testified that he heard the plotting to write affidavits; also that Worthy said that he went into the store but didn't want to put that into the affidavit. This would show that Worthy was the person in the store and who killed Dean. Both Marsh and state prosecutors said that the one person went into the store – the shooter.
After Meyer gave this knowledge to the police in an interview, the prosecutors offered
Meyer a time reduction to testify against Calliham and Worthy. From the court documents it is evident that Calliham is protecting Worthy and Worthy entered the Whataburger, as he told Meyer but didn't want to include it into evidence.
At Gerald's trial the state put these witnesses on the stand and the jury believed their lies and inconsistent testimony, convicted Gerald then sentenced Gerald to death.
Gerald's innocence –
It is important to realize that Gerald was a part of the inside robbery, but he was not the actual killer. Here is the evidence that we believe shows that Gerald is not the killer:
Eyewitness Misidentification –
Eyewitness Misidentification occurs when a victim or eyewitness to a crime says that they saw some one, and then subsequently picks the person, the wrong person out of a photo line- up or live line-up. Both types of line-ups consist of potential suspects being showed to witnesses, along with several people who had nothing to do with the crime.
Numerous studies have been published about the fallibility of eyewitness identifications. Most notably a psychologist named Elizabeth Loftus pioneered the scientific study into eyewitnesses who chose the wrong person during line-ups. Her findings concluded that once an officer investigating a crime has a specific suspect in mind, he begins to give subtle hints to any witnesses who were at the crime scene, he is telling the witness who he thinks the robber/killer or rapist is. Most times, according to Loftus' research, this process starts off with the cop who suspects a person. He interviews the witnesses and gives them subtle hints as to who they should point out, but because the witness has not seen any one he gets no positive identification. The officer doesn't stop there; he insists and supports the witnesses' cooperation by showing photos of the potential suspect. After showing the witnesses photos of the potential suspect, the officer takes the witness to the police station and gives them a photo line-up.
When the witnesses are shown for a second time a photo of the suspect the police think us responsible for the crime, they pick out the person the officer showed them days earlier. Then they are given a live line-up where the suspect is shown for the third time to the witness. Naturally they pick this person out of the line-up. After these identifications the police think that they have what they need to convict at a trial and a trial begins. At the trial the witnesses will testify that the person they saw commit the crime is the same person on trial that day. They then give an in-court identification pointing to the defendant, in most cases this in-court identification is all juries need to send an innocent man to death row. It is what happened in Gerald's case.
Misidentification in Gerald's Case –
Wilbert Marsh is the main reason that Gerald Marshall was convicted for shooting Dean. He testified at trial that he saw Gerald that night, and that Gerald was the person who shot Dean. According to the court transcripts, Marsh saw the shooter that night while the shooters face was covered. The parts that were covered were the eyes and the mouth.
Two days after the crime Marsh was given a photo line-up. In the photo line-up were Gerald Marshall and several suspects. Marsh picked out a dark-skinned man, not Gerald Marshall. The officer who gave Marsh the photo line-up said that Marsh immediately picked out that person. He picked out a suspect named Robinson. According to the officer there was a "strong resemblance" between Bo Robinson and Bo Worthy (dark-skinned, tall, skinny).
During Gerald's trial Marsh would testify that he was given a photo line-up and he picked Gerald out. He would also point at Gerald during trial saying that he was the person he saw, the person who shot Dean.
There was some compelling evidence that came out during Gerald's trial as well. Before Gerald's trial investigator Harry Johnson interviewed Marsh where he found out that Marsh had been given a second photo line-up, during this line-up he picked Gerald out. But before he was given the second photo line-up he was told by an officer that he picked out the wrong person the first time.
Excerpt from Gerald's Trial Transcript: Testimony of Harry Johnson (A) about interviewing Wilbert Marsh.
Q. Did he tell you whether or not he was able or did identify in that photo spread?
A. Yes sir, he identified some one in the spread.
Q. He told you he did?
A. Yes sir he said he picked some one out.
Q. And did he tell you the person he identified was the person who entered the restaurant and shot the complainant in this case?
A. Well he said he picked some one out but he was told he had picked the wrong person out.
Q. But did he tell you that the person he picked out was the person he was identifying as the person who came in the restaurant and shot the man?
A. Yes sir…
This testimony shows that it is evident that the eyewitness was told to pick put Gerald during the second photo line-up, Gerald was the only person in the first photo line-up and the second line-up. He is the only person of all his co-defendants to be put in a line-up.
We believe that even though Marsh picked out Gerald during the second photo line-up identification officers suggested that Gerald was the person they wanted him to pick out. This is blatant eyewitness misidentification, and the number one reason why Gerald Marshall is currently on death row.
SNITCH TESTIMONY
Next to eyewitness errors, criminal informants, or "snitches", play a major role in the wrongful conviction phenomenon. According to the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern Law School, 11.6 percent of documented wrongful convictions have been traced to false informant testimony.
Judge Trott of the Ninth Circuit Court commented:
"Never has it been more true than it is now that a criminal charged with a serious crime understands that a fast and easy way out of trouble with the law is not only to have the best lawyer money can buy or the court can appoint, but to cut a deal at some one else's expense and to purchase leniency from the government by offering testimony in return for immunity or in return for reduced incarceration."
Snitch testimony in Gerald's case:
Clarence Green is what you call a habitual criminal. A habitual criminal is a person who has been to prison three times or more, and because he has such an extensive criminal record if he is arrested for another major crime he is automatically faced with 20 years to life in prison.
Green was facing 25 years to life for physically assaulting his wife and a female police officer testified that he was put in a holding cage with Gerald for five minutes in which Gerald secretly confessed that he killed Dean. In his letter to police and prosecutors he wrote that Gerald said the fake robbery occurred at a Wendy's but on the stand he said he was mistaken, he said Wendy's because he liked it.
Green went from facing a life in prison to a one year sentence for testifying against Gerald. It is evident from the lengthy time he was facing that he would say anything to get out of jail. States all over America have taken notice to the unreliability of snitch testimony; some do not allow it to be used all together, even in Texas laws have been passed severely restricting the testimony of snitches. We are confident at a new trial Green would not be allowed to testify against Gerald under these new Texas laws.
RONALD BO WORTHY KILLED CHRISTOPHER DEAN
* All of the evidence that was collected pointed to Ronald Bo Worthy being the shooter of Christopher Dean.
1) The three statements taken from witnesses Marsh and Ketchum stated that the shooter was described as a dark-skinned male in his 20's with a slim build, holding a gun in his left hand. In May 2003 at the time of Worthy's arrest he was listed at six feet one inch and weighing 195 pounds. He is a dark-skinned African American, and he is left handed. All descriptions from the eyewitness pointed to Worthy.
2) The Crime Stoppers tipster told police that Bo and Tank were involved with the fake robbery but they also told police Bo Worthy said that he'd killed Dean, and gave the police the correct address for the killer.
3) Worthy committed a theft before going to commit the fake robbery. At the theft there was a bullet found on the ground that matched the bullet that was inside Dean. This put Worthy in possession of the murder weapon minutes before the fake robbery occurred.
4) Ronald Worthy and Kenny Calliham are best friends and put the entire robbery on Gerald. Kenny said that Worth never went inside the store but chased the car when he got out of the vehicle. In addition to this Kenny and Ronald were housed together in the county jail. When there are several prisoners charged with the same crime, they are "kept separate". In Gerald's case he was kept separate from Worthy and Calliham, but they were put in the same tank together. Here is where Worthy admitted to going into the store but changed it – according to Dennis Meyer.
5) Worthy discarded "bloody clothing" to keep police from finding them.
Police officers took Worthy from the county jail to look for the murder weapon, while doing so he allowed Worthy to use his cell phone. He called his girlfriend P. Pitts. When police talked to Mrs. Pitts they found out that she threw away Worthy's clothes at his demand, and that they had blood on them. Here is the statement from the police reports:
"Ronald Worthy would tell us many lies on the night of May 14, 2003. He would take investigators on a wild goose chase looking for evidence in this murder. He would also be allowed on several occasions to use my personal cellular phone so that he could call his family members. One of the people he would call would be a neighbor to his girlfriend. We would learn that his girlfriend had destroyed evidence by throwing bloody clothing into a waste management dumpster at Worthy's direction…"
At no time was the fact that Mrs. Pitts or the fact that she threw away bloody clothing talked about at Gerald's trial. This evidence was located in the police reports and never brought up by Gerald's attorneys or prosecutors, it is just another piece of evidence that shows Gerald did not shoot Christopher Dean. He is innocent of the crime that he was sent to death row for.

A rainbow of colors fills seaweed wrappers for these easy, healthy snacks. Never used Nori wrappers before? Don't worry! All you need is a little bit of water and some practice rolling. Serve this gluten-free snack with raw Lemon Tahini Dressing for a light, oil-free lunch. They are travel-friendly, making an easy, option for picnics, lunchboxes, and airports.
To make the Shredded Veggie Filling: Peel the carrots. Remove the core of the cabbage. Seed the bell peppers. Using a vegetable shredded or a box grater, shred all of the vegetables. Combine with the chopped cilantro and sunflower seeds.
To make the Nori Wraps: Clear a "rolling station" like a clean cutting board. Set up a small bowl of water nearby.
Place one Nori wrapper on your rolling station, with the shiny side down (the rougher side facing up). Use your fingers to spread a little bit of water along the top edge of the Nori sheet. Spread about ½ cup of the Shredded Veggie Filling onto the bottom end of the Nori sheet. Tight wrap the Nori sheet around the filling. Continue rolling, as tightly as possible, to the end, until you have a long, maki-like Nori roll. Use your fingers to seal in the edge. The water should help you with this.

In and Out of American Art: Between Provincialism and Transnationalism, 1940-1980

In and Out of American Art: Between Provincialism and Transnationalism, 1940–80 is a major two-day international conference in the School of Art History at the University of St Andrews on the 27th and 28th October 2017. The conference is generously funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Paul Mellon Centre for British Art. The aim of the conference is to reassess how artists and art professionals negotiated the formidable reputation of American art, both within the US and internationally, between the years 1940 and 1980. We have chosen this timeframe because there is a general consensus that during these decades the prestige of the US art world – for which 'New York' functioned as a synecdoche – was understood to enjoy a global reach.
The period can be bracketed at one end by the 1942 exhibition 'Artists in Exile' at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York, which featured the work of artists including the Chilean painter Roberto Matta, the Russian painter Pavel Tchelitchew and sculptor Ossip Zadkine, as well as the French surrealists Andre Breton and Andre Masson, and might be taken as emblematic of the internationalizing dynamics that, paradoxically, led to the US being perceived as the 'center' of the art world. But by the mid-late 1970s artists and critics were contesting this notion, from Donald Judd, who in his 1975 article 'Imperialism, Nationalism and Regionalism' provocatively stated that 'Art is a peripheral activity, almost outside of the society of the United States,' to Terry Smith, whose Artforum polemic 'The Provincialism Problem' deconstructed the metropolitan-provincial binary as entirely subjective and reliant on a locational perspective. For Smith, by the mid-1970s, the New York artworld itself was pervaded by provincialism.
Over the course of these four decades, responses to this 'problem', to borrow Smith's language, varied enormously. The Argentine writer and curator Jorge Romero Brest reported that during the 1960s he made no less than nine trips to the US, which he felt had been invaluable for driving out 'all vestiges of provincialism I might have.' Others resisted the prevailing influence of American art. The Uruguayan artist Luis Camnitzer argued that American Pop art was itself 'a very provincial aesthetic'. His verdict was that the international power of the US made its art styles seem universal and internationally relevant, whereas in actuality they were as local as any other regionally-specific trend. These contrasting ascriptions of 'the provincial' signal the nexus of issues that In and Out of American Art will address.
In recent decades, the principle that cultural innovation ripples out from a few western metropolitan cities has been systematically challenged. In line with Camnitzer's assessment of American Pop Art, the objectivity of such accounts have been thrown into question by exposing the degree to which these histories are contingent on wider asymmetrical power relationships, insofar as they are shaped by the legacies of war, colonialism and protectionist trade relations. Scholars committed to demonstrating that so-called cultural 'peripheries' were also culturally generative centres, have abjured conventional evaluative notions such as artistic 'originality' and 'influence', and have proposed alternative models for narrating the histories of intercultural relationship, notably the 'transnational' and the 'translocal'.
Our conference seeks to explore how artists moving in and out of the art worlds of American art during this period engaged with the power complex of provincialism, in the light of this current research emphasis on artistic transnational exchange. The 'provincial' might be a loaded and problematic concept, but excising it from art history only obscures the impact that its underlying ideologies had on the shaping of artistic reputations around the world. Charting how the international status of American art helped and hindered artists' career options during this post-war period will be central to the concerns of this program. But we also want to stimulate further, broader reflection on how location-oriented terminology, such as the 'provincial', the 'peripheral' and the 'regional', deserves to be understood in an era when the authority of the mythological 'centre' no longer seems so total or secure.
In short, we want to bring the terms 'provincialism' and 'transnationalism' into a dialogue with one another. This will involve approaching the former through the lens of the latter, addressing the various ways in which artists and other art-world professionals creatively negotiated the cultural pressures and tacit expectations that are signaled by the idea of being 'provincial'.
In and Out of American Art: Between Provincialism and Transnationalism invites participants to address questions including: How has the deliberate assumption of provincial and regional positions enabled artists and stimulated individual careers? To what extent have provincialism and regionalism fostered collectivity and communality in artistic practice? How were ideas about provincialism taken up by the Women's Art Movement, and did they facilitate (de)constructions of gender and sexuality? In what ways did the politics of race factor in discourses surrounding provincialism, and how have artists sought to reverse its negative connotations? How might art that embraces a 'provincial' perspective challenge homogeneity, globalization and, by extension, the regimes of advanced capitalism? To what extent might provincialism and regionalism be considered a performance – and are such performances enabling or self-defeating?

Unprecedented rate of decline of animals because of human activity causing a "global mass extinction", new report says.
About 60 percent of the world's fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have been wiped out over the past four decades, largely because of human activity, researchers say.
The Living Planet Report 2016, released on Thursday, blamed deforestation, pollution, overfishing, and the illegal wildlife trade for "pushing species populations to the edge".
According to the report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), in a collaboration with other international environmental advocacy groups, the five main drivers of wildlife decline are habitat loss, overconsumption, pollution, invasive species and disease.
"For the first time since the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, we face a global mass extinction of wildlife," said Mike Barrett, director of science and policy at WWF's UK branch.
"We ignore the decline of other species at our peril - for they are the barometer that reveals our impact on the world that sustains us."
Victims include gorillas and orangutans, rhinos and elephants, tigers and snow leopards, but also faceless species such as corals - a crucial cornerstone not only of marine life but also coastal human communities.
Factory fishing has emptied the seas of 40 percent of sea life, and nine out of 10 fisheries in the world are either overfished or full-fished today.
On the current trend, the assessment predicts that by 2020 populations of vertebrate species could have fallen by 67 percent from 1970 levels unless action is taken to reverse the damaging effects of human activity.
The report detailed the strain that agriculture places on freshwater systems.
"Human behaviour continues to drive the decline of wildlife populations globally, with particular impact on freshwater habitats," said Ken Norris, director of science at Zoological Society of London, an advocacy group that took part in producing the report.
"This should be a wake-up call to marshal efforts to promote the recovery of these populations," he added.
Freshwater covers less than 1 percent of the Earth's surface, but is home to nearly 10 percent of all the planet's known species.
Marine and land vertebrates have suffered at about the same rate - with populations dropping 36 and 38 percent respectively over the same period - but for different reasons.
On land, the big threats are loss of land to agriculture and cities, followed by rampant hunting, mostly for food but also for commerce - much of it in endangered species.
African elephants, slaughtered mainly for their tusks, have dropped in number by more than a quarter since 2006.
Experts now agree that Earth has entered only the sixth "mass extinction event" - when species vanish at least 1,000 times faster than usual - in the past half-billion years.
"Biodiversity forms the foundation of healthy forests, rivers and oceans. Take away the species and these ecosystems collapse, along with clean air, water, food and climate services they provide us."
Deon Nel, WWF conservation director, told Al Jazeera that in addition to 30 percent of the world's soil being degraded over the past 40 years, "we have lost 50 percent of tropical forests ... which are critical in stabilising the climate and absorbing carbon".
Inside Story - Can CITES save sharks from extinction?


When we thought that only the shoulders and singoallatoppen were calculated, they return back entrance on the fashion scene. This spring is the hottest garments are those who have an off shoulder- design. We have absolutely nothing against what is prettier and more feminine than showing bare shoulders? Have you also got a nice spring or early summer burn fit it's perfect!
Off shoulder- style is a fashion trend in spring but as I said, it's not the first time. Singoallatoppen and a timed show bare shoulders became a hot trend during the seventies and the trend has since returned a number of times. Last was in the 90s when singoallatoppen was a safe bet. In our trend is once again popular on the catwalks and a few that showed the trend among its collections were among other major fashion houses: Samsoe & Samsoe, Tibi, Topshop and H & M. However, it is not just the big fashion houses that have picked up the trend, here in the picture, we see Dakota Johnson in an off shoulder- top as she matches with a pair of classic suit pants, a cool leather jacket and a pair of stylish heels.
It is not just the top that does well as off the shoulder. In the spring we also see different models of dresses, playsuits and byxdressar that have adapted alloy design. But how is matched garment is best? If you want to run on a more festive outfit can choose to match an off shoulder jumpsuit or dress with a pair of sandals with thin Remar. Then, to top the style is a tip of adding a few low-hanging earrings then this will fit perfectly with bare shoulders!
Selects the other hand, an off shoulder- blouse or shirt may be combined with another hot trend this spring culottebyxan. Culotter is a kind of three-quarter pants that usually have a wider leg than the classic three-quarter length trousers and resemble a skirt rather than a pair of pants. Combine off shoulder- blouse with a pair culotter and a pair of sneakers to create a cool but still sensual våroutfit.

Studies of the Coagulation System and Blood Pressure during Experimental Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever in Rhesus Monkeys *,†

Experimental infection of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) with Machupo virus produced a hemorrhagic disease similar to that of Bolivian hemorrhagic fever in humans. The disease in infected animals was also characterized by the development of hypotension and coagulation abnormalities as indicated by severe thrombocytopenia and prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time. Evidence for disseminated intravascular coagulation was inconclusive due to the presence of normal to elevated fibrinogen levels, relatively low levels of circulating fibrin split products, and the lack of widespread fibrin thrombus deposition. The most likely causes of the hemorrhagic tendencies of this disease in infected monkeys were thrombocytopenia and decreased synthesis of coagulation and other plasma proteins due to severe hepatocellular necrosis. Hypotension may also have been due to decreased plasma protein synthesis.

One of the biggest things that makes Arabic seem so daunting is its alphabet. It basically just looks like a bunch of squiggles and dots before you learn it, as you can see in this screen cap from the South Park episode Imaginationland. Learning the alphabet is an essential first step when learning Arabic. Without knowing it you can't start to learn anything else about the language. One of the most difficult aspects of the Arabic alphabet is the fact that simply adding a dot to a letter, in many cases, makes it a totally different letter. You have ب ,ي ,ن ,ت ,ث which are all the same except for the number of dots they have and whether those dots are above or below. Many people confuse these similar letters for a long time when learning Arabic. You really need a way to distinguish the Arabic letters from each other and remember what sounds they make. That is why the Arabic Genie program is so nice. It offers memory aids for each letter and dozens of exercises that cement the sound and shape of each letter in your mind. It teaches you how to spell English words with the Arabic letters, a method which connects the new Arabic letters to something that you are familiar with and have been using all your life.Once you go through the program and learn the sounds and shapes of each letter, the book introduces you to Arabic calligraphy. I find certain Arabic calligraphy very difficult to read. I remember when I was first learning Arabic I asked my teacher what the logo on the Al Jazeera channel said. My teacher laughed at me and told me that it said "Al Jazeera". It took me months to figure out where each of the letters were in the logo, which dots went with which letter, and which markings were just for decoration. I had to figure it out on my own, but Arabic Genie points out where each letter is in several calligraphies, a tactic which you will be able to apply to all Arabic calligraphy you come into contact with in the future.
Arabic Genie turned out to be a much better program than I expected. It takes things that make total sense to Arabs, but not so much sense to English speakers, and explains them in a way that is perfectly logical and simple. If I ever hit my head and forget Arabic I know where to turn to start relearning it. To buy a copy of the Arabic Genie, click here.

Email marketing is one of the fastest, easiest and most successful ways to market or advertise your product or service.
It is one of the most preferred types of marketing in all kinds of industries, from ecommerce to small restaurants and B&B's.
Unlike some forms of marketing where you have to analyze whether your target audience is receptive to that form of marketing, email is a world-wide phenomenon with there being an estimated 1.2 Billion email users, growing to 3.6 Billion in 2020.
In 2016, approximately 66,795,000,000,000 (66 Trillion) emails were sent, which is equal to 183 Billion emails sent daily.
So, with such large volumes of email users and emails sent daily, if you are not using email marketing to its full potential, I can guarantee that your competitors are!
With so many emails sent daily, how can I stand out from the rest?
Of these 183 Billion emails sent daily, a large majority will bounce immediately, never get to a users inbox or simply lie dormant in individual's inbox's.
Getting into your prospective clients inbox and then subsequently getting opened and read is your first and hardest challenge.
If you know personal information about your email target, include this in the email. This shows that you are not sending out one spam email to a whole purchased client database.
The personal information will also create intrigue in the users mind about what information the email holds. If your personal name or your business name is familiar to the email target, include these in the subject line and/or sender information.
If the email target knows and trusts the send they are 1000 times more likely to open the email than if it comes from someone they have never heard off.
One small trick you could use to increase open rates is test different subject titles and sender information. Through our initial research, male business men are more likely to open an email from a female sender than a male sender.
Therefore, change the sender email address to a female name and watch your male businessmen open rates increase.
Similarly the general working individual does not always have time to read all of their emails every day. To increase open rates included trigger words that will subconsciously make them open the email.
For example included terms like 'last chance' and 'special offer' as this makes them think they are going to miss out on something if they do not open the email.
A note of caution: if you use the trigger terms, you must have a valid 'special offer' or people will lose trust in your email subject titles.
High graphical and image based emails may look stunning but are mistakes. The more images and graphics included in your email the larger the email becomes in size, increasing the download time in individual's inbox's.
Many email clients also automatically ban images from being downloaded; this means your email's first impression could be a collection of rectangles with red crosses in top corner, not as aesthetically pleasing as you had hoped.
Similarly many email clients do not render images the same, therefore meaning the image positioning of your emails may appear differently in different email clients.
It may seem simple, but many businesses continue to promote irrelevant company information before the scroll and hide important promotions at the foot of the email.
If you are not following these guidelines you are potential devaluating a major promotion and/or event, but unintentionally promoting less relevant information first.
Once the email has been designed and sent out, you MUST analyze your data to help you improve your future email campaigns. Can open rates be improved?
Can click through rates be improved? Has your email had the expected/desired affect?
Most good email marketing platforms offer high quality post-send feedback, from this analysis you can decided upon the perfect email subject and sender information, as well as working out which area of the emails are the most successful for converting.
You can also then analyze the data by email client to calculate if a certain email client is struggling to render your emails.
To solve this problem you could create an email purely for the customers using that email client.
