Farmers, product dealers and equipment manufacturers are recommended to take necessary security measures regarding manufacturing, storing, marketing, transporting and utilizing agricultural machinery and chemicals in light of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
A consortium of U.S. organizations, including the Environmental Protection Agency, are encouraging individuals and businesses to enforce a variety of security measures.
Joanne Kick-Raack, Ohio State University extension's pesticide education program state coordinator, said the security measures are designed to avoid possible misuse and vandalism of pesticides, fertilizers, machinery and other agricultural equipment and products.
"I think it's a normal, good practice that farmers keep an eye on their equipment. All the things that we normally teach in pesticide training, farmers should be always be following, but probably now it's more important to be checking those things," said Kick-Raack.
With bioterrorism on the minds of many throughout the country, especially following concerned reports of biological or chemical terrorism via aerial applicators, maintaining vigilance regarding agriculture supplies is being encouraged.
* Establishing and maintaining facility perimeter security.
* Limiting access to all storage areas.
* Assuring that locks are case-hardened, tamper-resistant and in top working order.
* Using cable seal locks to secure individual storage containers.
* Maintaining thorough stock records and perform frequent inventories.
* Providing exterior lighting and systems for handling emergency situations (video cameras, alarms, etc.) and frequently check systems.
* Establishing contact with local law enforcement and fire authorities.
* Posting a list of emergency contacts (names, phone numbers, etc.) at facility entrance exteriors.
Kick-Raack said farmers should keep chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, stored in a locked building or cabinet, away from children or unauthorized people. Vehicles used to transport or apply pesticides should be kept locked, and sprayer tanks should be empty when left unattended in a field or barnyard area.
"The comforting thing is that pesticides have become less toxic over the past 20 years and it's more difficult to get a hold of something that can cause widespread harm," said Kick-Raack. "You would have to use huge amounts to cause any major immediate public health threat. The more toxic pesticides are not sold in large amounts and you need a license to buy such a restricted-use product. Pesticides used according to label directions are not a public health threat."
Kick-Raack said security not only involves protecting products, but also being alert to unusual or suspicious actions from employees or customers. Chemical dealers should keep an eye out for customers who request large quantities of a particular product, especially if it's unclear what the product will be used for or if it's during an unusual time of the growing season. "Ask questions," said Kick-Raack. "For example, if a customer asks for a pesticide during a time when pesticide application is not warranted, then that should send up red flags."
* Seeming unfamiliar with details of using a particular chemical.
* Acting nervous, uneasy or vague, and avoiding eye contact.
* Demanding immediate possession of purchased material instead of available future delivery.
* Insisting on paying with cash instead of using credit or a check.
Even purchases of large amounts of fertilizer should raise an eyebrow. "It may signal someone is doing something they don't need to be doing," said Kick-Raack. "Large unwarranted purchases of fertilizer should be reported." Fertilizers were used in the attack on the Oklahoma City Federal Building. "The bottom line is be more aware of your surroundings and what others are doing and do it on a regular basis."
The following agencies can be contacted to report possible pesticide terrorism: FBI- Chicago Office at 312- 431-1333; National Response System at 312-353-2318; EPA Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) hotline at 800-424-9346; or National Pesticide Telecommunications System at 800-858-7378.

Life can truly seem like a random string of improbable coincidences or disasters. There are moments where you wonder.... is this "actually" happening? What are the odds? It makes you want to believe in faith, a higher power or... Big Brother. Anyway the evidence plays out, we all have a lot of questioning to do.
Redditor u/Randomusername123432 wanted to know what possible fate we never believed could happen awaits by asking.... What is the most statistically improbable thing to happen to you?
I was telling my coworkers about an interesting customer of mine from a month before, who looked like a hobo but bought a very nice product and talked about his international travels, to remind them not to judge customers on appearances only. Right as I finished the story, he walked in to buy another identical one as backup.
Cue a month or so later and I was telling the story again to a different coworker, with the update that he'd appeared as if summoned the last time... AND YET AGAIN he walked in right on the heels of my story about him, to buy again.
I lost my wallet one night partying in redondo beach. About a month later I was sitting down on some big boulders that make up the breakwater again in redonda and I looked down by my feet and there was my wallet, sitting there water logged on one of the rocks. Nothing missing out of it. About a year later, the same wallet goes missing again. I'm like wtf is going on? No idea. So a month later, I'm in a rando grocery store and the cashier sorta recognizes me and says "hey stay right here" She goes over to an office and comes back with my wallet. Nothing missing. Had all my cash still there.
You're hired! As a husband!
When I was still dating my wife, she was on vacation with her parents in Cancun and her flight was cancelled due to a storm. She had a hugely important job interview coming up and no one in the airport could get her on a flight home in time. She called me, frantic, from her hotel asking me to help.
So, I went on the airport website and found a single first-class ticket to fly to JFK that same night. I bought it, knowing it might not still be available after calling my then-girlfriend to confirm. $1,400 later, I call her hotel in Cancun only to find she and her parents have checked out and are nowhere to be found. This was quite a while ago, so they did not have cell phones with international plans.
Now freaking out more than a little, I call both the hotel and the airport multiple times trying to get in touch with her. No luck. So I Google to see if there are any other numbers listed for the airport, where I assume she must be, and I come across a crappy looking little website listing what it claims to be the phone numbers of a bank of pay phones in the airport.
I called the first number on that list of pay phones. It rings for a while, and someone picks up. It's my wife's voice. In the middle of a Mexican airport jam-packed with stuck travelers, she overheard that exact payphone ringing and happened to pick it up.
I passed her all the flight details, spoke again with the airport to confirm she could board. She got on the flight to JFK with 15 minutes to spare. She now tells this story as the day she decided to marry me.
He was very depressed and became a hermit, picking up agoraphobic fears. He was convinced bad things happen when he leaves the house. Usually referring to injuries or mess sups that did happen to him.
Myself and others convinced him to take a college class just to get out of the house 3 hours a week. He already had a college degree, even from an ivy league school.
It was an elective class, only 15 people. The only thing he had to do for the class was a group project with two other people. One member never showed up, so he spent all his time with the other student.
The partner was a transfer from one of those good California schools. My friend bonded with him in class. Things were looking up for my friend's morale.
3 days before they were set to present, the entire college shut down because of a murder. His partner was the culprit.
My friend was called in for questioning, but that's it. The other student was found guilty and is now sitting out a life sentence.
If that wasn't enough, we convinced my friend to take another class at a different college the following semester.
He became friendly with the kid that sat next to him. A month in, the other student went missing, then found dead. Authorities say it was a suicide.
My father and I are both airline pilots. Early one morning I am working a flight from Louisville to Detroit and he is going from Columbus to Chicago. It's quiet on the radios at that early hour when ATC calls out some traffic for us to look for, and us to another aircraft. When I hear my dad answer the radio. Shortly after that, he says hi to me, and I reply with "Hi Dad." Then we passed directly over his aircraft by 1000 feet. One of the coolest moments of my flying career to date.
I went to a small university in the midwest, less than 6000 students.
I had a police helicopter light me up in my car with the spotlight and red and blue lights. Pulled over and waited for what I assumed was a swat team coming to get me. Waited 10 mins and then the lights went off and it flew away.
In 2012 I was mugged at gunpoint while walking home late at night. Lost my wallet and phone but fortunately was fine. Reported to police and never got my stuff back, no surprise.
4 years later I had moved 4500km away and got a phone call from my sister. She was at a music festival and lost her ID. A guy camping next to her found it, noticed the address on her drivers license. He recognized it because it was the same as the address of the fake ID he had been using. He had my ID from my wallet that had been stolen 4 years earlier. My sister handed him the phone and I was more amazed than anything, but I asked where he had got it from, and it sounded like it had been passed around a few people at the school he went to. I told him I didn't want it back, but asked him to promise to not give it to anyone else, and not to steal my identity.
I have two totally unrelated eye conditions, one of which affects about 0.04% of the population and the other that is somewhere between 1 and 5%.
The one that affects the 0.04% triggers usually about 5 migraines per day. But I am super, super lucky that my migraines only present with visual symptoms, not pain. Which is again fairly unusual.
My band were recording in a studio in the Suffolk countryside. It was a pretty remote place. Our singer had written a line in French (we're all British) and after he went though his first vocal take of the song, the engineer asked if we were sure it was correct. We looked at each other suddenly unsure that we'd translated it correctly. At that exact moment there was a knock on the door and it was the engineer's French friend who he hasn't seen for a couple of years. He just popped by to say hello.
Life is crazy nuts for sure. What sort of things would send y'all running?

Many machine learning problems involve dealing with a large amount of high-dimensional data across diverse domains. In addition, annotating or labeling the data is expensive as it involves significant human effort. This dissertation explores a joint solution to both these problems by exploiting the property that high-dimensional data in real-world application domains often lies on a lower-dimensional structure, whose geometry can be modeled as a graph or manifold. In particular, we propose a set of novel manifold-alignment based approaches for transfer learning. The proposed approaches transfer knowledge across different domains by finding low-dimensional embeddings of the datasets to a common latent space, which simultaneously match corresponding instances while preserving local or global geometry of each input dataset. We develop a novel two-step transfer learning method called Procrustes alignment. Procrustes alignment first maps the datasets to low-dimensional latent spaces reflecting their intrinsic geometries and then removes the translational, rotational and scaling components from one set so that the optimal alignment between the two sets can be achieved. This approach can preserve either global geometry or local geometry depending on the dimensionality reduction approach used in the first step. We propose a general one-step manifold alignment framework called manifold projections that can find alignments, both across instances as well as across features, while preserving local domain geometry. We develop and mathematically analyze several extensions of this framework to more challenging situations, including (1) when no correspondences across domains are given; (2) when the global geometry of each input domain needs to be respected; (3) when label information rather than correspondence information is available. A final contribution of this thesis is the study of multiscale methods for manifold alignment. Multiscale alignment automatically generates alignment results at different levels by discovering the shared intrinsic multilevel structures of the given datasets, providing a common representation across all input datasets.

HOOKWORMS is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 16.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fleegle from Excellent I wasnt sure what to expect as I am a big fan of the new album, but not sur about the older stuff. Also, it has been 30 years since I had been to the Brixton Electric (the Fridge to me). Hookworms are top, loved everything they played and the BE is an excellent venue.
Rated 2 out of 5 by markwhiteman from Whoever was mixing the desk should be fired. Awful sound at this gig. The low frequencies were far, far too high in the mix. Ruined the gig.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tidzaandy from Hookworms at Sheffield Picture House Social It’s a shame really, such a great band. Unfortunately their performance at the Sheffield picture house social was hampered by a turgid sound that had more to do with the acoustics of the room than the band themselves. The vocals on the new songs were barely discernible and the melodies iwere simply lost in the soundscape. Looking forward to seeing the band play Bluedot where hopefully they will show their true colours.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen1 from Great live band Saw Hookworms at Electric Brixton, great, intimate venue. Hookworms were amazing, great visuals too!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee McD from Awesome band at The Cluny A new band to me, heard various tracks on 6 Music so gave them a try. Great result! Awesome noise in a super tiny venue. The bass generated through the PA system was stunning, probably the loudest gig I've been to! Bigger venues ahead for them I'd suggest, so see you at the O2 Academy, Newcastle next time?! 10/10 guys.

Through a humanist, socialist, and feminist lens this study is an exploration of the process of social change. Using a grounded-theory and narrative approach, and a mix of qualitative methods (ﬁeld study, in-depth and informal interviews, and participant observation), eleven in-depth interviews were generated from the sociocultural and political context of El Salvador: a country which has chosen a revolutionary path to social change. The present study focuses on the personal and social transformation processes of eight exemplary individuals, six of whom the author has known through an extensive history of solidarity work and social action. The resulting narratives are situated in their socio-economic, cultural, and political context, which includes a discussion of the history of Latin American Marxism and the roots of armed struggle in El Salvador.
There were four main goals of the study: (a) to understand the process of social change more deeply, including exploring the links between personal and social transformation; (b) to learn about what motivates people to try to change unjust social conditions, including an exploration of pivotal life experiences and the inhibiting or facilitating role of one’s social context; (c) to elucidate the insights of exemplary agents of change through exposure to their values, the variety of their methods of work, and the depth of their social analysis; and lastly, (d) to attempt to inspire and encourage all those who seek to create a better world by addressing the root causes of poverty, oppression, and injustice and by engaging in the process of personal and social transformation.
Based on the lessons learned and synthesis of insights generated from the narrative analysis, a critique is made of the limitations of the conceptual paradigms which have dominated the ﬁeld of community psychology and suggestions are made towards the formation of a new conceptual praxis. This praxis would include aligning ourselves and our resources with the most marginalized, offering our services for free when necessary and using our own resources, not relying solely on public funds, to pursue our social justice interests. Actions such as these would help to integrate the values of sacrifice, solidarity, and self-critique and would contribute to the creation of both a personal and social praxis.
Recommendations include generating a paradigm which acknowledges the necessity of confrontation with power-brokers, elites, and institutions which disempower others, while amassing power and privilege for a minority. The recommendations include acknowledging the social mandates of institutions, which implies engaging in work which is more overtly political. The study discusses the need to create a conceptual paradigm which values the dialectical tensions, paradoxes, and contradictions that a personal and social praxis would create. As well, the study points out that a new conceptual praxis would be comprehensive of the dialectical nature of change, which would help to articulate and delineate a relevant ideology of change and clarify paths of action.

Drake first revealed himself as a fan of Brown’s hit show through an Instagram comment early last year.
Then, in the beginning of November he posted this photo with Brown herself, captioning the gram with a combined OVO and Stranger Things reference.
Brown posted an equally cute photo to her account from the same encounter, where the mutual fans met backstage at Drake’s concert in Brisbane, Australia.
Drake must have really made an impression on her. Later that month, Brown was spotted repping the rapper’s merch at the airport. A few days later she posted another shot from her date with Drizzy, captioned, “taking all bar mitzvah bookings for 2018,” referencing their shared Jewish heritage.
The duo was reunited this past weekend when Brown posed for a pic with Drake at Golden Globes after party.
So what’s next for these adorable celebrity BFFs? Let’s hope it’s a musical collaboration. Drake has been busy recording his new album, and Brown has time and time again proved she has the musical chops to hold her own—remember when she wowed us with her rap skills on Jimmy Fallon? The obvious thing for these besties to lay down a track. Here’s hoping the next thing they post is a link to a new single.

A Nova Scotian bubbly goes great with food. No surprise, then, that contestant chefs at Canada's Great Kitchen Party in Halifax—the rebranded Gold Medal Plates national culinary competition—choose overwhelmingly to pair their competition dishes with local sparkling wine.
This makes for an especially good opportunity to size up some of the top sparkling wines in the region. At this year's Halifax competition, held last month, Blomidon Estate Winery's 2014 Blanc de Noirs came out on top, according to the Kitchen Party's panel of local wine judges (this author included).
As the name indicates, Blomidon's Blanc de Noirs is a white wine pressed from dark grapes—Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, two classic Champagne varieties. At pressing, juice is separated from skin, meaning the pigment found in grape skins has little opportunity to bleed into the juice, leaving only the faintest remnant of colour—a pleasing barely-even-salmon tinge of orange-pink that is nearly imperceptible once it's poured into a glass.
The wine is wonderfully lively and balanced, with "pronounced toasty notes on the nose, freshly baked bread, red apple, spice and underlying aroma of mature cheese," according to Alanna MacIntyre of Bishop's Cellar, one of the competition's judges. "Full bodied, with a pleasant, creamy texture, fine mousse and a dryish finish," adds Craig Pinhey, New Brunswick wine, beer and spirits writer, also a Kitchen Party wine judge. "A total delight," sums up Heather Rankin of Obladee, A Wine Bar, another panel judge. "Floral, woodsy, wild cherry note and a soft delicate bubble."
Blomidon Estate Winery's Blanc de Noirs is available for $45 at the winery, through its online store and at the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market (1209 Marginal Road) on Saturdays. Well worth having on hand for the holiday season.
An off-beat rosé frizzante, you’ll go gaga for.
The Geisenheim-based bubbly that packs a gentle punch is back.

Today I will be reviewing Organic Harvest Anti Pigmentation Cream. I’ve tested this product for good 2 months. Since I tested this Anti Pigmentation Cream fro Jan end, I can tell you how it fares in both seasons – summer and winter. Be ready for a detailed review of this product!
First, a little background on my skin – I’ve dry combination skin. My t-zone is super oily especially my nose and my cheeks & forehead usually run dry. My skin is super sensitive and acne & blemish prone. I am prone to cystic acne as well (will talk about how I conquered cystic acne in another post).
P.S. Always keep in mind even if you & I have similar skin, what worked for me might not work for you.
The pure ingredients like organic daisy flowers extract have been integrated efficaciously to provide an even pigmentation and prevent melanin synthesis so effectively that you will have your skin turning visibly softer and glowing. A natural remedy for pigmented skin, age spot, blemishes, sunburn and tanned skin, this anti-pigmentation cream possesses the benefit of a full-fledged treatment, which clarifies the skin while averting the appearance of any future discoloration, thus, leaving the skin fresh and youthful.
Aqua, Organic Daisy Flower Extract, White Mulberry Extract and Vitamin – C in Cream base.
I usually apply a moisturizer first on my cleansed face then apply this cream in night. Topped it with facial oil during winters. I don’t apply it in day time (along with night time) as mentioned by brand cos’ the product contains Vitamin C in it. Vitamin C makes skin sensitive to sun, even though I apply sunscreen I wanted to be on a safer side. The sun is anyway too harsh in India.
My first impression of this cream was that it felt dry & stretchy on my skin. It felt too stretchy in applying the cream as it finish in matte. Keep in mind it was during the Jan end, peak winter, when I tried it for the first time. So I started to apply facial oil after applying this cream. But during application it still felt stretchy so I started to apply a moisturizer before slathering this cream on. Since it was winter, I could get away with so much layering. No I didn’t face any acne breakout.
After a month’s use, I did observe that my fresh acne scars (I had an acne breakout as a reaction to stage makeup) were fading very lightly. The appearance of lil’ pores on my upper cheeks seemed to even out after applying the cream. But didn’t see any effect of any sort on my previous acne spots and the discoloration. I know for a fact that anti pigmentation creams take time working on old scars and discoloration. So I was ready to be patient with it.
After two month’s of use of Organic Harvest Anti Pigmentation Cream, the fresh scars faded a lot. I noticed an overall brightening on face. But nothing on the discoloration around mouth areas (if it lessened, it’s like barely noticeable). Old acne scars were still there with very very slight fading (it can also be cos’ I started being somewhat consistent with my skincare). However, overall appearance of pores seemed to be better even in tropical hot March in India.
Fades new acne scars significantly in two month’s time.
Pores seemed to look evened out.
Does give an overall brightening effect.
No to very very slight fading on old acne scars.
No effect on slight discoloration/pigmentation around mouth.
Dry skinned beauties might need a moisturizer along with it.
Good for oily skinned beauties as it is mattifying.
Doesn’t clog pores nor does cause any acne breakout.
Decent cream to use in night time.
Disclaimer – The product was sent to me by PR for review purposes but the review is 100% honest. Real Girl Talks will always keep it real with you, there’s no place for bs here!
That stuff sounds so good. I want to use it now.
Thanks for sharing babe! I suffer from pigmentation issues after acne scarring and definitely want to try this product out!
Great post, thanks for sharing. Sounds like a cool product!
OMG this stuff sounds amazing! Need to try it!
I’m glad it worked partially for you – although it didn’t work on older marks it’s nice it worked on the newer ones. Definitely something you’d have to consistently use to get the benefits from!
Good to know it works in dealing with new acne scars. Thanks for sharing your review dear!
That is a not-so-bad rating at all. Lots of positive things said. Thanks for your honest review. Helps a lot.
Happy Easter and Sunday to you beautiful.
Omg this sounds sooo amazing!! I have terrible hyper-pigmentation, so this would be super handy!
i need to try this! got so many red marks on my skin, and i love that it’s organic!
It seems like it takes awhile, but with consistent use you will get results. Thanks for the honest review.
I didn’t even know there was anything like this out there!! Sounds wonderful!!
Thanks for the review. I never used anything like this before.
Thanks for your thoughts on this, babe! I love hearing about new products!
I wish this scar lightener is available in the Philippines.
I adore natural, paraben free cosmetics. This sounds really good!
It sounds like a great product, I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds like something my oily skin would like. I have had the same experience with Vitamin C products, they work much better on fresh scars than on older ones. No clue why.
I haven’t heard of this brand before but this product sounds really nice, glad it helped with the overall brightening!
Maybe I should try this product as I have some discolouration too. Thanks for the honest review!
Sounds like a great product hun! Thanks for the review.
Sounds like a decent cream and with a reasonable price tag too. Good that you saw some differences albeit small ones.

Most of us are confused about going green, nervous about having to convert our homes into environmentally sound palaces - and terrified of the financial penalties being threatened if we don't.
And politicians fighting to be the greenest of them all as they promise myriad taxes to price us out of the skies are enough to make the average citizen rush out and book the longest-haul flight, or swap their petrol-electric Toyota Prius for a huge gas guzzler. It's all a bit daunting. But don't despair. Here are the 15 easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint.
1 Stop drinking bottled water We are lucky to have high-quality water coming from our taps for next to nothing in Britain. Why not drink it? We use 2.7 million tonnes of plastic to bottle water each year. Only about 10 per cent of bottles are recycled; most go to landfill sites, where they take around 450 years to break down. One litre of water weighs a kilo. Imagine how much fuel is used carrying it from its source in the Alps or the Highlands.
Buy filters to reduce the chlorine content if you don't like the taste, but some experts insist that tap water is of better quality (with higher mineral content and lower risk of contamination) than bottled.
2 Don't use carrier bags In Britain, we use around 8 billion plastic bags every year. That's more than 130 plastic bags each annually, and for most of us they are an irritation. How many cupboards under the sink are stuffed with them? Re-use your bags or, better still, get hold of a re-usable one that's cheap and sturdy.
3 Watch your water use The average bath uses 80 litres of water, twice as much as the average shower. If you normally clean your teeth for three minutes, turning the tap off while you brush will save almost 19 litres of water - that's more than someone in Kenya uses in a whole day. Ask your water company for a free "hippo" - a simple plastic device to put in the cistern to reduce the amount of water used in each flush. Flushing the lavatory accounts for around a third of all domestic water use.
4 Install a condensing boiler to heat your water and home, and cut your energy bills by at least 25 per cent. If everyone in Britain with gas central heating installed a condensing boiler, we would cut CO2 emissions by 17.5 million tonnes and save £1.3 billion on our energy bills every year. This is enough energy to supply more than 4 million homes for a year. A new boiler is a large investment (£1,500 plus), but at least you get a return for your outlay.
5 Use energy-saving light bulbs They don't have to be those loop-shaped ones that cast an ugly yellow hue. They come in all shapes and sizes now (see ebulbshop.com) and usually last at least 10 times longer than standard bulbs, using a fifth of the energy. You could save around £100 a year if you switched. If everyone in Britain replaced just one 100W light bulb with a 20W energy-saving one, we'd save the same amount of energy as that produced by Sizewell B nuclear power station.
6 Don't overfill your kettle If just 15 families filled only to the level needed they would save 1 tonne of CO2 emissions every year.
7 Lower your thermostat by 1 degree C It will cut your annual fuel bills by a 10th and save 240kg of carbon over a year.
8 Buy organic food Organic food production causes much less environmental damage than conventional agriculture. Make sure the food is locally produced. Half of all vegetables and 95 per cent of fruits eaten in Britain are from overseas, and the average meal travels more than 1,000 miles before it reaches your plate.
If you buy from farmers' markets, you will have the satisfaction of buying directly from the producer, there's no plastic packaging and your vegetables will last longer than the supermarket ones. Even if you shop like this only some of the time, it will have a big impact over your lifetime. Bigbarn.co.uk will tell you where to find your nearest farmers' market or producer.
9 Reset your computer Switch your screensaver setting to "none" or "blank screen" and set your computer to enter power-saving mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. Leaving your computer on overnight can waste enough energy to laser print 800 A4 pages. That adds up to 2,600 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, producing up to 1.9 tonnes of CO2, without doing any work.
10 Save paper Each office worker in Britain generates an average of 50 sheets of paper per day. If you use both sides of the paper, this will decrease your greenhouse gas emissions by 2.5 kilograms for every kilogram of paper used.
11 Don't buy "sweaty" fabrics such as nylon and polyester They're made from petrochemicals in a process that uses large amounts of energy, water and synthetic lubricants. The nitrous oxide released during the manufacture of nylon is 310 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Opt for natural fabrics whenever possible.
12 Use your washing line Tumble dryers use more energy than any other household appliance, so use them only as a last resort. Cut your tumble dryer use by one load a week and you will reduce your CO2 emissions by 91kg a year.
13 Wash at lower temperatures What is it with the British and the hot wash? In Japan, Europe and even America, clothes are typically washed below 30 degrees. Washing at a lower temperature - especially as the average British family does 247 loads a year - is an easy way to save a lot of energy. If everyone did it, we'd have enough spare energy to power half a million homes.
14 Convert to a green energy tariff Supplying your home with electricity produced from renewable sources will cut your household CO2 emissions by up to a third, and takes a single phone call. Good Energy and Ecotricity both provide 100 per cent renewable tariffs, which may be marginally more expensive than typical providers - but as this will be an incentive to use less energy, your bills may end up lower. See www.uswitch.com/energy for details on the full range of green tariffs.
15 Recycle! This may sound obvious, but it is not just paper and plastic bottles that can be recycled - about 80 per cent of our waste is recyclable. Visit www.wastepoint.co.uk for what to do with the stuff that you can't put in your doorstep box or bags from the council.
'1001 Ways You Can Save the Planet' by Joanna Yarrow (Duncan Baird) is available for £7.99 plus 99p p&p. To order, call Telegraph Books on 0870 428 4112.

Buzz Aldrin, NASA’s second man on the moon has passed a lie detector test proving that he says the truth when it comes to the sighting of unidentified flying objects during his mission in the Apollo 11. However, the sighting as stated by Aldrin is limited to the technical definition of a UFO, rather than the prospect of alien life forms being closely observant to humans.
However, the 88-year-old astronaut said that the possibility of aliens being real is not too far-fetched, and for other life forms to exist in the Milky Way is highly certain to be possible. Aldrin did mention that it may be a long time until humans get to meet proper aliens, since “it seems pretty doubtful, at least in our lifetimes”, he said.
Aldrin has been mentioning the sighting of the UFO for several years now. In 2005, he told an interviewer about the “L-shaped object” he and other crew members saw, but he did note that he was 99.9 percent sure for it to be part of the detached panel of the spacecraft.
Curiously, Aldrin’s witness words coincide with those by the other NASA astronauts that reportedly told media about their similar experience. Aldrin said “something out there that was close enough to be observed (…) sort of L-shaped.” This was later confirmed as an honest statement by a lie detector.
“There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world – it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft.
However, other Astronauts like Al Worden, part of the Apollo 15 crew, Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper, who were aboard on the Apollo 14 also claim to have witnessed the sighting of UFOs. They all gave a similar description of the UFO, but Aldrin explained that despite not being entirely sure there could be a chance of the L-shaped object to be from another country or from another planet.
According to bioacoustics expert researcher Sharry Edwards, who has had 3 decades of experience in her field, described Aldrin’s vocal patterns as proof that he was certain he saw a UFO. Other bioacoustics tests identified similar voice patterns in fellow astronauts to those found on Aldrin, especially in Al Worden who claimed to have seen alien life while on space.

Get up really, really early to cook two tortillas. My plan was to cook them yesterday, but Carmen found out and didn't allow me. She argued tortillas would not be at the required quality standard if cooked the day before, that I have a reputation to honour, tortillas had to be cooked on the day.
I marshalled Kingston Wheelers Dunsfold race in 2013. That day I realized how s**t my cycling pedigree was. I was 44 and seeing a real cycling race live for the first time in my live (and learning that Milan-San Remo was a monument). I even wrote about it in this blog, a shame it is in Spanish because I still think it is probably my best entry. Anyway I got so excited with the race that I wrote "I have to try this racing thing".
Two years later and here I am. Lead car 2 radio operator no less, quite a promotion I would say.
To be honest I'd have to confess that it was a self-assigned position with the idea of having an easy time sitting warm in the car while the others were racing so I didn't get too tired because I was racing in the afternoon.
As stupid as it sounds I managed to enrol myself in the 2/3 race when I was meant to sign up for the 3rd cat only race (which would have been more than enough for me).
What an experience. I learnt a lot about what is going on behind the scenes in a race. And really enjoyed seeing the race from the car. There was a solo break that got up to 48 seconds, but he was reeled back. And then another one. I immediately recognized Gareth pedalling style (so aero). He was being chased by a group of about 6 riders. He managed to keep them at about 10 seconds for a good while but finally a group of four was formed, one of them a Wheeler (Andrew). When they got more than a minute on the bunch the commissaries asked our car to let them pass us and wait for the peloton. When we got a visual on the peloton the Kingon Wheelers where at the front keeping the pace slow. Excellent work!!! So excellent the break made it to the line with Gareth taking first and Andrew taking second. I couldn't see the final, but I was super happy for them.
Time to disappear. Go to the car. Eat a pasta salad and time for a siesta.
I actually didn't sleep at all, but I managed to get 45 minutes of really relaxed time with my eyes closed. It really felt good.
Sign in, get a coffee and sit for a while. Andrew commented I looked relaxed, and I really was. I had low expectations on the race, no need to stress myself.
Time to go for a warmup, commissaries final instructions and off we go.
Pace was not hard and I sat comfortable in the middle of the bunch for the most of the first lap.
Now the tricky section came, a left turn, a couple nasty potholes, wet road. I break enough to feel comfortable and there I have to sprint for a minute to keep contact with the tail of the bunch.
Short descend, left turn and we complete the first lap as "the climb" starts. Give it all for another minute and boom. I'm dropped and out of the race.
My expectations were low, but not that low, couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Killed the idea of quitting only because I needed the workout to meet my objective of the week so kept pedalling.
Saw in the distance another rider and took me a bit of time trialling to get to him. When I passed him I said something that meant to encourage him to jump on my wheel, but I doubt I managed to say anything coherent in English.
Luckily no words are needed to get to an agreement and we started to work together.
Our pace was nothing mental, we kept it constant and I kept cadence around 100rpm when I was in the front in an intent of making sure my legs were going to last.
Having someone to work with helped a lot. Not only because that allowed me to rest but also because it kept me motivated to keep it going (that and the support I got from my fellow Wheelers in every corner).
Nothing happened until we were at 4 laps to go; and what happened was that we were about to be lapped.
Fantastic, not only dropped in the first lap but also lapped by the field in a circuit that is 10kms long.
A rider passed us and asked if we were in a break or dropped!!!!!!!
We jumped to the tail of the peloton as they passed us. My objective now was to try to keep up with them to the finish. It was "only" four more laps.
How naive. The moment we got to the tricky turn I lost contact with the peloton and there I was dropped for the second time and alone again.
And here comes the moment of the race I'm more proud of.
When I hit the top of "the climb" I saw in the distance the rider that was riding with me. He was not alone. There was another rider a bit behind him.
I set myself to catch them. I thought I had to do it quickly, if they get together and start working I won't be able to catch them.
It didn't look like they were working very well together, but still I was having a hard time to reduce the gap, but with 65kms in the legs and almost two hours racing I managed to put a consistent effort for more than 15 minutes.
The third rider pulled out as I was passing him and a few minutes later I caught my companion. It took me a whole lap so when I got his wheel I told him I needed a minute to rest (and to get a gel).
When I got my breath back we went back to work together. The pace had obviously went down, but hey, we were still there and only two laps to go.
At some point a third rider (another third rider) passed us. We jumped on his wheel and we started to take turns.
At that point I was really tired and I was struggling to make anything out of my turns on the front.
Finally we made it to the final turn and here it came the final climb. The third rider decided he was going to softpedal his way to the line and I climbed it riding in parallel with my companion. When we got to the flat I tried to sprint but he was more clever and didn't even try (what was the point anyway?) so I eased and we both softpedalled our way to the HQ.
Time to relax, eat something and comment the race with the Wheelers that were around. Despite of being dropped (twice) I felt happy and in peace with myself.
Got to the car, my phone didn't have coverage so drove back following my navigation instinct.
Miraculously (and because the phone did got coverage at some point) I got home. Got a shower and set myself to cook dinner for the family. I knew if I sat down I wouldn't be able to stand up again.
Finished dinner and rushed to the computer to download the track and look at the numbers.
Enough of peace with myself, the numbers revealed I was terrible today, I was dropped by a power*duration effort that I can do more than ten times in a trainer session!!!!
I think I now have a very good idea of what went wrong.
I was too relaxed. Way too relaxed.
I passed through the tricky bend on the car 8 times and the idea that was a potential point of concern for me didn't even cross my mind. What was I thinking!!!!
I look at my warm up and it is a joke. 3.5km, 8:26 minutes. Worst warmup ever (published here for public scorn). Even more terrible if you have in mind that I think I am very slow warming up.
Now Javier. True, it is early for you to be competitive in these races. True, you messed up and you signed up for the wrong race. But a race is a race, if you are going to be part of it at least be focussed and do it properly.
Finishing the race once you were dropped is ok but it is not good enough consolation.

The Taking Shape philosophy is to keep our customers at the heart of everything we do. From personalised style sessions and Girls Night Out events to fashion designs that reflect the quirkiness, personality and verve for life that is the Taking Shape woman.

Their fashion stylists are trained to identify body shapes and assist you in highlighting your best features and minimising others. Their goal is simple; to help customers fall in love with themselves and the clothes; having a curvy figure doesn’t exclude you from fashionable fun.

a few years ago, my buddy jay at red clay soul started a campaign for l.l. bean to bring back the lounger boot. they listened and are now offering two versions: 1) the shearling lounger with no buckle (not pictured) and 2) the l.l. bean signature maine hunting lounger that you see above. the shearling lounger is a 7 inch pull on boot that retails for $169. the maine hunting lounger (again above) is a 9 inch pull on boot with no shearling lining and an added buckle. it retails for $199. i love the look of the maine hunting lounger, but i do not understand the price point. $199 seems a bit excessive for a bean boot. am i wrong about this? what am i missing? would you pay $199 for this boot? i love you l.l. bean, but i think i’ll stick with my 8 inch bean boots and rubber mocs that together cost $20 less than this boot.
last year around this time, i bought a schott classic 32 oz melton wool pea coat. i never left the house in it. when i put it on, i looked like juggernaut from x-men. i could barely put my arms down. i let it hang in my closet until two weeks ago when i put it on ebay. i”m now looking for a new pea coat that was made for the streets rather than a battleship. here are a few options i found. i’ll let you know about fit as soon as i figure out which one i’m going to choose. if you have a pea coat that you really like that’s not super bulky, please leave a comment. i’m open to suggestions.
my job every thanksgiving is to bring the alcohol. this year i’m picking up a bottle of belle meade bourbon. it’s quickly become my bourbon of choice over bulleit and makers. brothers andy and charlie nelson revived their great great great grandfather charles nelson’s legendary brand late last year using his original recipe. (side note: nelson’s greenbrier distillery was added to the national register of historic places in 2008 i.e. there’s a lot of history in every bottle). i had an opportunity to visit with them this past summer and hear their story. you can read more about the two of them and their bourbon here. i’m not a bourbon expert, but i do know what i like and this stuff is the real deal. don’t show up to thanksgiving empty handed. grab a bottle of belle meade bourbon. cheers.
good news for red wing fans! for a limited time (or until they run out of their 48 pairs), the red wing pecos 8866 boots in oro russet are now available at unionmade in san fran. up until now, they’ve only been available in japan, so if you want some you better move fast. i believe the last the pecos boots are made on fits true to size, but i will confirm and update accordingly.


text: It is advisable that you should not go for heavy and big furniture. The drawback of having big furniture is that it captures a lot of space and make the room look congested. Small furniture, on the other hand, needs less space and it is easy to move. It also leaves space in the room which make easy movement possible.

Liquid love for any food!
Tzatziki is a Greek sauce served with grilled meats or as a dip.
Wrap the shredded cucumber in a kitchen towel and squeeze to remove as much water as possible. Mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumber, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and lemon juice. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
