When our children feel ill, or when we have a cold ourselves, there are plenty of remedies on the market that claim to ease the discomfort we experience. However, Larry Hoffman’s team of personal injury lawyers in New York has represented many members of the public who have filed drug defect lawsuits against Zicam – a zinc-based medication that has been proven to permanently damage the sense of smell for some patients.
The zinc included in the remedy is an important factor in why it is so dangerous. Over 130 people have had the nerves in their nose damaged in the form of permanent anosmia, because of the chemical imbalance which this ingredient causes.
Although caution or avoidance of Zicam products has been recommended, after the damage has been done Larry’s team of the best trial lawyers will handle personal injury lawsuits for those who have had their sense of smell impaired. Through legal consultation, a more thorough assessment of the case is possible, since the medical complaint could vary, dependent on whether Zicam nasal sprays or remedy swabs were originally used.
Because of how the findings were established, the manufacturers of Zicam were not legally obliged to complete a recall. However, if you have been affected by this drug in any way, Larry the Lawyer is here to help.

David O. Russell, the notorious loose cannon who once put George Clooney in a chokehold, sounds humbled and matured as he promotes his new movie, The Fighter.
• Mark Wahlberg on ‘The Fighter’ and More The Fighter details the real-life comeback of champion welterweight “Irish” Micky Ward (Wahlberg). Initially hobbled by his troubled half-brother Dickie Eklund (Christian Bale), a former boxing star-turned-crack addict, and his controlling mother Alice Ward (Melissa Leo), Micky finds his strength after he falls for a tough-talking bartender (Amy Adams).
Russell came to the project late, a replacement for Black Swan’s Darren Aronofsky, who left to make The Wrestler. And it was an uncharacteristic choice for him. Russell’s most inspired work ( Flirting With Disaster comes to mind) skillfully weaves some high-minded levity into relationship dramas. The Fighter, on the other hand, was a sober study of a working-class hero and his hard-scrabble clan from Lowell, Massachusetts.
By the time Russell was hired, the production was on its fourth script and its third Dickie Eklund (Matt Damon and Brad Pitt were both initially cast in the role). After Bale joined the film, Wahlberg, who has been friends with Russell since Three Kings, finally asked him to step in and direct.
Indeed, Russell’s irreverence is evident throughout The Fighter. It works well in Ward’s chorus of big-haired, harpy sisters and their mouthy exchanges with Charlene (Adams), but at times feels too much like a New York intellectual’s take on the working stiffs in the row houses. Early reviews of The Fighter have been mixed, but even Russell’s staunchest critics acknowledge he wrested Oscar-worthy performances out of his ensemble cast.
So now, Russell’s career is suddenly making industry headlines, with him reportedly “re-teaming” with Three Kings co-star Ice Cube for a cop drama for New Line Cinema, writing and directing the videogame adaptation of Unchartered: Drake’s Fortune for Sony Pictures, and writing and directing the family drama Old St. Louis starring Vince Vaughn.
It’s a major turnaround for the director. Before and during The Fighter, Russell was mired in the political satire Nailed!, a production plagued by financing issues and, in the case of James Caan, some creative differences. Last summer, he finally pulled his name off the film.
The Fighter, by comparison, rolled along without major incident. Though there were a few touch-and-go moments. Russell is a yeller, and, as Adams told the Los Angeles Times, this set was no exception to his others in that regard. The difference was that the director had at least one formidable sparring partner: the real Dickie Eklund, who doesn’t generally back down when challenged.
To be fair, Russell—even at his least charming—is hardly alone in Hollywood, a town crawling with geniuses that make soul-withering demands for the sake of a vision. Just ask the actors who have worked with The Social Network’s David Fincher, Avatar’s James Cameron, and Oliver Stone, to name a few.
Even Adams admitted she was grateful for Russell’s goading. Before they started filming, Russell told her she “looked like a girl who couldn’t fight.” So Adams took boxing lessons. She studied Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull at his suggestion. All that resulted in a credible and nuanced performance, lifetimes from that bubbly princess in Enchanted.

MUFTI, the popular Indian denim brand, unveiled its Autumn Winter ’18 Collection at a one-of-its-kind fashion show on Saturday. The evening witnessed eclectic designs and creativity which are sure to storm the world of fashion, style and glamour.
Letting his statement outfit do all the talking, Kartik Aaryan – Bollywood actor and MUFTI brand ambassador – walked the ramp in his stunning ensemble comprising of a stylish black leather jacket, paired with an exquisite pair of white jeans and a trendy white hoodie.
Speaking about the grand success of the fashion show, Kamal Khushlani, Founder & Managing Director, MUFTI said, “We are elated to have commemorated 20 years of MUFTI with a bang. The marquee fashion show and on-boarding Kartik as our first brand ambassador was the perfect way to celebrate this glorious occasion.

MUFTI was launched in 1998 by first-generation entrepreneur Kamal Khushlani with one driving ambition – to provide an alternative dressing solution that didn’t conform to the ‘uniform’ codes of mainstream fashion.
Looking to provide a holistic lifestyle dressing solution, MUFTI also launched footwear recently with the same ethos, to provide an alternative choice which is young, casual yet comfortable.

Start by making the sticky caramelised onions. Heat the butter, olive oil and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the onions and a big pinch of salt and cook slowly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from catching on the bottom of the pan.
When the onions are soft, stir in the red wine vinegar, cover with a lid and cook on a low heat for 25 minutes until sticky and caramelised.
In the meantime, rub the rump with olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Grill the steak in a smoking hot griddle pan, turning to cook on both sides to your preferred doneness (see cooking guideline above).
Transfer the meat to a cutting board and allow it to rest for half the cooking time before slicing it into slivers.
To assemble the paninis, slice the ciabatta bread and generously spread hot English mustard onto the top and bottom slices. Top with the slow cooked sticky onions, juicy rump steak and fresh watercress.
Heat the ciabatta loaf in the oven to warm through before serving.

Acoustic guitar music plays low in the background. The ceiling fan spins, the coffee is hot, the paper and pen just right…on a good day, this is how I set the mood when I write. My office walls are painted a certain color, the window blinds are always open during the day, there are shelves filled with books, a glider rocker. I’ve done everything in my power to make this room a happy place.
I don’t aspire to Marie Kondo levels of organization, but it does make me feel lighter and happier when I look around at tidy surroundings. I like knowing that if I open the hall closet door, nothing will fall on my head. I’m in an ongoing battle with paper in my office, and books everywhere else, but I make an effort to keep my kitchen cleaned up and I make the bed most days because it makes me happy to see it like that.
I’m also prone to taking on a cleaning or organizing project when I’m frustrated or blocked in my creative pursuits. Some would say I’m avoiding my work, but I choose to think of it as a way to distract the inner critic long enough to sneak some ideas by her. Making progress in one area (a cleaned out hall closet) often leads to progress in another (a completed blog post).
The presence or lack of light, especially natural light, makes a huge difference to me. If we have a run of a few days with no sunshine, I feel my mood lowering just like the clouds. Light is essential to the human body, helping to regulate hormones that affect mood and sleep. You’ll almost always find “step outside” on lists of ways to feel happier, and getting some natural light is one of the reasons that’s so effective.
Essential Oils are Having a Moment. Everywhere you turn, they’re touted as the cure for some malady. So far, my main use for them has been scent. I diffuse oils in the bedroom, kitchen, and my car. I like when things smell good! It’s a bonus when those scents have beneficial effects on my mood, which some research suggests that they do.
According to Christopher Alexander in The Timeless Way of Building: “There is a myth, sometimes widespread, that a person need only do inner work…that a man is entirely responsible for his own problems; and that to cure himself, he need only change himself…The fact it, a person is so formed by his surroundings, that his state of harmony depends entirely on his harmony with his surroundings.” To be truly happy, we still need to do the inner work, but we can support that work with simple pleasures that make our surroundings more to our taste. So if you find yourself battling sadness, fear, anxiety, stress or other negatively-charged emotions (and who doesn’t?), take a look at your surroundings. Maybe there’s something you can change that will help you feel better.
What is your favorite way to influence your mood by manipulating your environment? Please share in the comments!
Kathy - like you I enjoy things being tidy...I can't work well in a mess...music playing while I paint is always a mood enhancer. Windows open and a breeze blowing through the room makes me feel happy too. Hope your September is off to a blessed start. Thanks for a great post. Hugs!
Sounds like you and I like the same type of environment. I do wish I could open my windows more often, but with the humidity here it's not advisable (mold, pollen, etc.). So far Sept. is going well--Tank is better :).
Are you able to open your windows for fresh air? That's one "scent" I don't get to enjoy very often because of the humidity here. I have a couple of essential oils I like to diffuse to scent the house--lemon and eucalyptus are nice for the kitchen, for example.

This entry was contributed by Cheryl Howell on August 26, 2016 at 6:00 am and is filed under Civil Procedure-General, Family Law.
It is not always clear when a court can exercise authority sua sponte, or to put it in English, on its own motion, without a party specifically requesting that the court act. Last week, the court of appeals held that a trial court does not have the authority to change venue sua sponte. Unless a defendant files a timely motion requesting a change and establishes grounds for moving the case to another county, a plaintiff has the right to prosecute a civil case in the county of his or her own choosing.
Any objection to venue is waived if not specifically raised in a timely manner by a defendant. Chillari v. Chillari, 159 NC App 670 (2003); Miller v. Miller, 38 NC App 278 (1978).
When can the court move a case to another county?
(4) When the motion is made by the plaintiff and the action is for divorce and the defendant has not been personally served with the summons.
The court of appeals has held that this provision is not discretionary. Rather, the court is required to transfer when transfer is requested by a defendant for reasons set out in this statute. Dechkovskaia v. Dechkovkaia, 780 SE2d 175 (NC App, 2015); Gardner v. Gardner, 43 NC App 678 (1979).
Proper venue is set by statute. Many causes of action have specific statutes that designate the proper county or counties for the proceeding. For example, GS 1-76 provides that venue for certain proceedings dealing with real property is in the county in which the land is located. GS 50C-2(c) provides that an action for a Civil No-Contact Order can be filed either in a county permitted under GS 1-82 set out below or where the unlawful conduct took place.
“the action must be tried in the county in which the plaintiffs or the defendants, or any of them reside at its commencement, or if none of the defendants reside in the state, then in the county in which the plaintiffs, or any of them, reside; and if none of the parties reside in the state, then the action may be tried in any county which the plaintiff designates in the plaintiff’s summons and complaint, subject to the power of the court to change the place of trial; …”.
While making it clear that venue cannot be changed sua sponte either for convenience or because venue is improper, the court of appeals also held that venue probably was proper in this case. GS 50-13.5(f) provides that “an action for custody and support of a minor child can be maintained in the county where the child resides or is physically present or where a parent resides.” The court of appeals pointed out that during the temporary custody hearing, plaintiff grandmother testified that the children were physically present in Durham County when the action was filed.
Can venue ever be changed sua sponte?
This entry was tagged with the following terms: Venue; divorce; custody.

The All Progressive Congress (APC) may have concluded plans to oust the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, from his position over his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
The plan was made known a lawmaker of the ruling party, Peter Akpatason, representing Akoko-Edo at the lower legislative chamber.
Mr Akpatason stated this on Wednesday in Benin while addressing reporters. The lawmaker said himself and his party colleagues at the lower house were out to ensure that the wish of the party on Mr Dogara is carried on resumption of the house.
According to him, it is an aberration for a member of a minority political party to continue to be speaker of the House of Representatives.
“We, as party loyalists, will carry out any instruction we get from the party. We will study the situation when we get back. Whatever the situation is will be what we will react to,” Akpatason said.
“We cannot be happy to have a speaker that belongs to another party. It is an aberration and has to be treated as such,” he added.
The lawmaker noted that when the house reconvened, “the needful” would be done regarding the leadership of both chambers of the National Assembly, refusing to elucidate more on his comment.
While the Senate is led by Bukola Saraki, the House of Reps has Dogara as its leader. The duo formerly members of the APC recently pitched their tents with the PDP.
Several attempts to oust Mr Saraki since his emergence as Senate President have often met brick wall. The most recent is the siege laid at the National Assembly.
Efforts by the APC to get the top lawmaker to relinquish his position fell on deaf ears as he has maintained that those who elected him were the only ones with the power to remove him.
The legislative arm of government which is supposed to have resumed on September 25 shifted its resumption date to October 9, citing timetables of primary elections of political parties.

We’ve had countless great conversations covering many topics- from politics to holidays to how inspired we are by the next generations open mindedness and the great things to look forward to in the future on their behalf. There is never a wrong opinion, just conversation and exercise.
Conversation always leads to laughter- especially when we recount the silly things that we have done; like the time I accidently sprayed hair-spray under my arms instead of deodorant, or the time I had my husband in panic mode because I was yelling at him in the middle of the night and it took him 20 minutes to realise that I was sleep talking (after telling this story though, I had to contribute to the swear jar a number of times, ha-ha).
When a group train together, they get to know one another- we give praise when someone can do something that they couldn’t before and spur each other on when the going gets tough. Every newbie to a class is treated like one of the regular crowd.
When you take a class with an experienced instructor, your instructor will be able to tell how you’re feeling just by looking at you and they’ll know to either push you harder or to back off. They’ll give you tips to get the best out of each exercise and challenge you when you’re ready. Most importantly, an experienced instructor will know that your workout is about you and your success is their number one goal.
To find the best class for you- shop around! There are fitness centres, personal training facilities, private studios on ‘every corner’ offering everything from CoreCross® to Pilates to Zumba or Bootcamp. Call them all; take up their trial offers and try as many as you like until you find a class where the conversation is easy, you have a laugh and you feel like you belong.

The full force of soaring oil prices really hit home when I took a taxi to the Paris airport yesterday. As we passed a gas station, I mentioned to the driver that I didn't know that they sold gas by the gallon in France. He answered that they didn't. France depended on Libya for much of its oil supplies, he explained, and those were the prices in liters I was seeing. He then voiced concerns about the future of his taxi business as fuel prices ratcheted up from $10 to $15 a gallon! It makes our own bleating that our prices may edge up from $4 to $5 a gallon appear somewhat feeble.
The first Paris strategy luncheon, held at the Cercle National des Armees, or the French Army Officers Club, was one of the best yet. You know, the place where Napoleon used to hang out at. I gave my talk under the watchful eyes of Charles de Gaulle, President Nicolas Sarkozy and the French Foreign Legion. Renditions of the battle of Waterloo were nowhere to be seen.
The event turned in to something of a reunion for me, with my former institutional clients from the 1980's dropping by, as well as some of my French staff from the London office of Morgan Stanley. Claude won the prize for the greatest distance traveled, some 5,680 miles from San Diego, CA. Spend your Zimbabwe dollars wisely, Claude. Maybe you can offload your holding to Muammar Khadafi.
The big question at all of my recent lunches is what will happen when QE2 ends? I offered the simplest of all possible explanations. Asset classes that prospered from the $600 billion infusion from the Federal Reserve, like stocks, commodities, precious metals, and oil, will suffer the most from its demise. Asset classes that suffered from the rapid expansion of the monetary base this encouraged, like the US dollar, should see a rebound. The political balance in Washington makes a QE3 impossible, unless the stock market crashes first, vaporizing Ben Bernanke's wealth effect.
Everyone present complained that the Euro was insanely overvalued at $1.42, but conceded that momentum could take it as high as $1.46 before it sees a reversal. An overvalued currency was acting as a drag on the European recovery, especially in export sensitive Germany. I brought an extra suitcase to Paris, hoping to fill it with goodies for those on the home front at the department store Galeries Lafayette. Mon Dieu! Thanks to the collapse of the greenback, prices were so high that I only purchased a few postcards, knowing I could buy the same products at home on line for half the cost, with free shipping.
I spent the weekend playing tourist and visiting my old favorites, such as the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, Sacre Coeure, Montmarte, the Eiffel Tower, and a fine dinner floating down the Seine on the Bateaux Parisienne. The food is so good that even the local corner brasserie produced a meal to remember. A stylish people make it impossible to be overdressed, no matter where you go. In Paris, even the homeless have taste. A search for my front teeth on the Left Bank, which I lost in a riot there in 1968 when a flying cobblestone hit me in the mouth, yielded no results.

Luke put his account of Jesus healing the blind man between the accounts of the young rich man and Zacchaeus. He implies all three were blind. The blind man was physically blind, while the young rich man and Zacchaeus were spiritually blind. All three blind men had the opportunity to be healed, but the young rich man refused to let Jesus open his eyes while the other two accepted healing.
The young rich man decided to stay spiritually blind because he wouldn't obey doctor's orders. When Doctor Jesus told him to sell all he had and give the money to the poor, he disobeyed (Lk 18:22). However, when Zacchaeus met Jesus, he "said to the Lord: 'I give half my belongings, Lord, to the poor. If I have defrauded anyone in the least, I pay him back fourfold' " (Lk 19:8).
Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind (Lk 4:18). He asks us: "What do you want Me to do for you?" (Lk 18:41) We should respond: "I want to see" (Lk 18:41). If we back up our statement by obeying the Lord, He will open our eyes spiritually. We will be convicted of sin, change our lifestyle dramatically, and begin to follow Jesus (Lk 18:43). All the people will witness this and they too will give praise to God (Lk 18:43).
Prayer: Father, open my eyes, even if I have to suffer to be healed.
Praise: St. Gertrude became a saint who had a special devotion to the Eucharist. After Jesus appeared to her in a vision, she only read the Bible and the works of the Church fathers. She received many revelations from the Lord and wrote them down to build up the body of Christ.

The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique® is a diagnostic and treatment system that can be used by some chiropractors to treat many different conditions. Commonly, the method is used to treat back pain, neck pain, headaches (including migraines), rotator cuff dysfunction, hip or pelvic dysfunction, etc.
The Activator Method uses a small, hand-held instrument called the Activator Adjusting Instrument to deliver a gentle impulse force to the spine with the goal of restoring motion to the targeted spinal vertebra or joint. It is an alternative to the traditional manual form of spinal manipulation. Chiropractors will use a protocol that involves the patient moving certain parts of their body as directed by the doctor (ex. Please turn your head to the right) to determine which segment of the spine needs to be adjusted, other doctors will use the instrument, but not the protocol.
There are a few theoretical advantages of an Activator instrument-assisted treatment. The first is based on the speed of the device – since the instrument is so quick the body’s muscles are less likely to tense in response, and resist the treatment. The lack of muscle resistance may facilitate the treatment effectiveness. The second is that the applied force is located and does not add any additional torque or bending moment to the joint. Such additional bending can be uncomfortable for patients who are arriving in acute pain. Another advantage of the technique is because it is so gentle, patients with osteoporosis or smaller build who have fear of being manual adjusted are able to comfortably receive chiropractic care.
During a typical adjustment with the Activator, the chiropractor applies the Activator device to the tissues at or near the affected joint. An initial pressure is followed by a quick thrust from the device, which feels much like having one’s reflex tested by tapping your knee. The patient remains still, with no twisting or turning as there often is for a traditional chiropractic adjustment. After an adjustment, the chiropractor will often re-evaluate for correction of signs and symptoms associated with the complaint.

Wow, that’s great, John. And by 2013, I shall have a pony-monkey-Care Bear hybrid who plays the piccolo, shits marijuana, and cleans my apartment for me.
No offense to the memory of the guy who Ferguson named his cat after on Clarissa Explains It All, but could you put more stupid big words into one sentence? A borderline run-on sentence? And in a lede, no less. Jeeesus.
In the same blow, the Times has won back my wayward heart with this geeky, wonderful article about the oft-forgotten semicolon.

Strange thing, all of a sudden both of my windshield wipers are traveling too far and hitting the painted area on the sides of the glass. I've never had the wipers off, only thing I have had done recently is a new battery installed. Any idea what has happened?
They removed the cowl and wipers to install the new battery?
Also, the battery was not obtained at a Ford Dealer. They mis-adjusted when they removed the wipers and cowl.
1. Remove wiper bolt covers and bolts to remove wipers by gently levering them off by hand taking a note of which side wiper is above the other.
2. Turn on ignition and turn wiper lever on for a few seconds and off around 3 times to adjust spindles correctly. Turn off ignition.
3. Replace wipers taking care to align them approx. with the 'H' pattern on windscreen.
4. Wet screen and see how they function.
5. Please don't flame me if it doesn't work but I read this solution elsewhere on these forums.
Actually I did get my dealership to install the new battery, had to in order to get warranty. I never thought of them removing the cowl and wipers. You guys ROCK thanks.
Well, if you've got to go back to the dealer to get them to 'fix' the wiper alignment they messed-up when replacing the battery ..... that might be a good opportunity to see if they'll 'throw-in' that SYNC update you asked about in another thread as recompense for your 2-trip hassle.
And ask, if they have not already, reset the BMS (Battery Monitoring System).
You'd think they would huh? You never know though thanks.
@MoneyPit1946 - If they didn’t aligned the wiper to begin with, I doubt that they’ve gone through the proper procedure.
When removing wipers. the wiper control arm switch is to be in the off position.
If this is done you will never have a problem.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada applauds the federal government’s decision to re-open Veterans Affairs offices in nine cities within one year.?
The Public Service Alliance of Canada is happy with the federal government’s announcement that it will re-open the Veterans Affairs offices that were closed by the Conservatives and hire more front-line staff.
The Canadian government promised to take care of veterans from the day they enlisted until the day they die. But drastic cuts to Veterans Affairs staff and services since 2012 mean that veterans are not getting the care they need and deserve.
Vince Rigby?served 22 years in the Canadian military.?Diagnosed with extreme PTSD, he credits the workers in the Sydney Veterans Affairs office for saving his life.?
จุดอ่อนบาคาร่าRon Clarke?spent 36 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.?“I retired with a problem with my back. And then later on I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, and then arthritis in the hands and then the arthritis in the spine,” he says.
Robyn Young is only 24 years old, but has already served in the Royal Canadian Navy for eight years. She is currently unable to serve, due to the side effects from surviving both a brain tumour and an unnecessary surgery that has left her with permanent double vision and constant vertigo and nausea.
She has been trying to get help from Veterans Affairs. But the office in Windsor closed last year, along with eight others in Canada.
Michelle Bradley and the workers she represents are on the front lines.
As the National Vice President for the Atlantic Region of the Union of Veterans Affairs Employees, she represents the people who work directly with veterans — processing benefits claims and assisting them with their day-to-day needs.
Robert Cutbush is 50 and served 25 years in Royal Canadian Navy. He is the president of his local Legion in Thunder Bay and extremely active in supporting veterans in his community.
But like many veterans, Rob struggles with PTSD and other mental health challenges.?

Most of us don’t think much about soil, let alone its health. But as Earth Day approaches, it’s time to recommend some skin care for Mother Nature. Restoring soil fertility is one of humanity’s best options for making progress on three daunting challenges: Feeding everyone, weathering climate change and conserving biodiversity.
Widespread mechanization and adoption of chemical fertilizers and pesticides revolutionized agriculture. But it took a hidden toll on the soil. Farmers around the world have already degraded and abandoned one-third of the world’s cropland. In the United States, our soils have already lost about half of the organic matter content that helped make them fertile.
What is at stake if we don’t reverse this trend? Impoverished trouble spots like Syria, Libya and Iraq are among the societies living with a legacy of degraded soil. And if the world keeps losing productive farmland, it will only make it harder to feed a growing global population.
But it is possible to restore soil fertility, as I learned traveling the world to meet farmers who had adopted regenerative practices on large commercial and small subsistence farms while researching my new book, Growing A Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life. From Pennsylvania to the Dakotas and from Africa to Latin America, I saw compelling evidence of how a new way of farming can restore health to the soil, and do so remarkably fast.
Workshop on cover crops, weed management and no-till practices at the Stark Ranch in Gainesville, Texas.
These farmers adopted practices that cultivate beneficial soil life. They stopped plowing and minimized ground disturbance. They planted cover crops, especially legumes, as well as commercial crops. And they didn’t just plant the same thing over and over again. Instead they planted a greater diversity of crops in more complex rotations. Combining these techniques cultivates a diversity of beneficial microbial and soil life that enhances nutrient cycling, increases soil organic matter, and improves soil structure and thereby reduces erosive runoff.
Farmers who implemented all three techniques began regenerating fertile soil and after several years ended up with more money in their pocket. Crop yields and soil organic matter increased while their fuel, fertilizer, and pesticide use fell. Their fields consistently had more pollinators — butterflies and bees — than neighboring conventional farms. Using less insecticide and retaining native plants around their fields translated into more predatory species that managed insect pests.
Innovative ranchers likewise showed me methods that left their soil better off. Cows on their farms grazed the way buffalo once did, concentrating in a small area for a short period followed by a long recovery time. This pattern stimulates plants to push sugary substances out of their roots. And this feeds soil life that in return provides the plants with things like growth-promoting hormones and mineral nutrients. Letting cows graze also builds soil organic matter by dispersing manure across the land, rather than concentrating it in feedlot sewage lagoons.
Soil organic matter is the foundation of the soil food web, and the consensus among scientists I talked with was that soil organic matter is the single best indicator of soil health. How much carbon could the world’s farmers and ranchers park underground through soil building practices that incorporate plant residue and stimulate microbial activity? Estimates vary widely, but farmers I visited had more than doubled the carbon content of their soil over a decade or two. If farmers around the world did this, it could help partially offset fossil fuel emissions for decades to come.
Soil restoration will not solve world hunger, stop climate change, or prevent further loss of biodiversity. No single thing can solve these problems. But the innovative farmers I met showed me that adopting the full suite of conservation agriculture practices can provide a better livelihood and significant environmental benefits on conventional and organic farms alike.
Restoring fertility to degraded agricultural soils is one of humanity’s most pressing and under-recognized natural infrastructure projects, and would pay dividends for generations to come. It’s time for a moonshot-like effort to restore the root of all prosperous civilizations: Our soil, the skin of the Earth.

“Gowns by Edith Head” was one of the most-seen motion picture credits of the 20th century. She was Oscar-nominated an amazing 35 times, winning a total of eight best costume design Oscars for her work. Edith Head began work as an assistant costume designer in Hollywood during the 1920s, and she eventually became the preeminent costume designer of Hollywood’s golden age, earning eight Oscars (and over 30 nominations) during a career that included work on hundreds and hundreds of movies. Head had a long professional relationship with Alfred Hitchcock, designing the costumes for most of his features: she dressed Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant for Notorious (1946), and Grace Kelly and Grant for To Catch a Thief (1955). Her other films include Beau Geste (1939), Sunset Boulevard (1950), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) and Sometimes a Great Notion (1971).
Edith Head was featured in a Google Doodle on October 28, 2013… Her last film was the Steve Martin comedy Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, which was released after her death in 1982… Edith Head’s eight Oscar wins, all in the category of best costume design, were for these films: The Heiress (1949), Samson and Delilah (1950), All About Eve (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), Roman Holiday (1953), Sabrina (1954), The Facts of Life (1960) and The Sting (1973). The listed years reflect the release dates of each movie, and the Oscars were awarded the following year; for instance, her Oscar for The Sting was given in 1974… Between 1948 and 1967, separate costuming awards were given for color and black-and-white films, which is how Edith Head won for both Samson and Delilah (color) and All About Eve (black-and-white) in 1951.
