Shut up about Barclay Perkins: Home brewing in WW I

Though I don't mean the type of home brewing in the modern sense. Domestic brewing is probably a better description of it. Where farmers or other large households brewed for their own consumption and those of their workers.

It had been very widespread in the 18th century, but gradually declined in the 19th century, due to a number of factors. The greatest probably that between 1830 and 1880 private brewers had to pay the full tax, as duty was levied on the raw materials. The only real economic advantage the domestic brewer had was being able to use ingredients banned in commercial brewing, such as raw grain.

The increasing gap between the quality of home-brewed and commercial beer was another important factor. There had been little difference in the equipment and techniques employed in a domestic brewery and a commercial one in the early 18th century. Technological advances, which had mostly passed the private brewer by, had given commercial brewers much greater control of the brewing process. Put simply, home-brewed beer could seldom match commercially-brewed beer in quality.

Commercially-brewed beer had also been relatively cheap before the outbreak of war. The increased excise duty changed that.

"HOME BREWED.
The "haapenny the haupint bexter" has filled the Essex and other East Coast peasantry with economic ideas, as how to circumvent such an outlay, to wash the hayseeds and the wheat and barley "hiles" from their throats. And this has taken the form of reverting to the old practice of brewing their ales, an excellent practice that the farmers will not condemn. The average home-brewed is made from malt and hops only, but that malt and hops are not so easily obtainable as they were a few years ago. I wonder how many calls would have to be made to Bristol a sack of malt and seven pounds of hops could be obtained. And then the smell and taste of sweet wort, the aromatic perfume of the hops in the old farmhouse copper, or as the liquor is set out to cool. The nine gallons of "stingo" that would prevent frostbite on a winter's morning, and the big barrel of small ale that got harder and harder as the summer drew on, until it veritably made one's eyes strike fire to drink it. A quart of West Countree "crab vergis" was mild as compared with it. Of late years this home-brewing has been a very declining industry. The popular taste has tended towards the lighter, more palatable non-deposit beers being produced by our modern brewers; but to have to pay eightpence duty on what has hitherto been sixpence per gallon harvest ale will certainly turn many a farmer's thought in the direction of his own mash-tub in non-cider-making counties. Happily, the practice of giving drinks at harvestide to agricultural workers is being replaced by extra money, a gain alike to the farmer and the labourer. And bearing this in mind, we shall not see the Excise increased to deal with the issue of licenses for brewing on the premises for home consumption only."
Western Daily Press - Thursday 31 December 1914, page 3.

The author points out the one big problem of starting to home brew again: getting hold of the materials. Difficult as it might have been in 1914, it would be completely impossible later in the war as brewing materials were rationed and allocated to brewers.

Note that this only applies to "non-cider-making counties". For the obvious reason that there cider still played the same role as beer once had in other parts of the country. And apples, unlike malt and hops, would always be obtainable.

Ronda Rousey: ?I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight?

UFC/Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey appeared on Jim Rome's show on Wednesday. What does the champion use as her training secret? Does she have high-level training methods not available to amateur athletes and workout warriors?

Nope. She likes to have as much sex as possible before fights. Though Mick advised Rocky that women weaken the legs, Rousey believes it has the opposite effect on women.

"For girls it raises your testosterone, so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight actually. Not with like everybody, I don't put out like a Craigslist ads or anything, but if I got a steady I'm going to be like, 'Yo, fight time's coming up,'" Rousey said.

It clearly works for her. Rousey has steamrolled every opponent she has faced on her way to the championship and a 6-0 record. She's won every fight with a first-round submission, and she recently was named the first woman in the UFC. Though her opponent and the date for her first UFC fight are currently unknown, UFC president Dana White said her bout will be a main event on a pay-per-view.

Rousey is also a two-time Olympian, and she won a bronze medal for judo in 2008. It was a fight before the Beijing Olympics that made her think she could be successful in the cage.

"Yes. I got in a fight with a couple of guys at the end of 2007 in a movie theater. It was four couples so four guys and one girl tried to get into it. And I had two friends with me. But I was only really handling two guys by myself. They sued me for assault because it didn't really go too well for them. I guess if you lose a fight in Santa Monica the next option is to sue. Everyone in the theater was cheering for me. I was thinking I might have a future in this. It was before the whole MMA thing."

How to Invest a Thousand Dollars - Where to Invest Your Money

My brother recently contacted me to ask how to invest a thousand dollars. He was thinking about opening a Roth IRA, but he wanted to know if that was the best place to put his money for the long term. I was happy to hear he wants to start a savings plan. It?s always a good idea to invest for the future. But sometimes investing for retirement isn?t the best way to use your resources. Some people would be better off investing in a non-retirement fund, or using the money for something else, such as creating an emergency fund, or paying off debt. If you are a new investor, or you have a $1,000 you want to invest, then these tips can help you determine your investment goals, and help you reach them.

How to Invest a Thousand Dollars

Should you invest for retirement, or use your money elsewhere?

Be sure investing is the right decision.It?s great to save up $1,000, and even better to want to do something productive with those funds. An investment is a good way to make your money grow, and help you prepare for the future.

But sometimes investing isn?t the right decision. If you have high interest debt, such as a credit card, personal loan, or car loan, then it may be better for you to use the money to pay off your outstanding loan balance. You will get an immediate return on your investment, and you will free up monthly cash flow, which will make it easier to replenish your savings, and invest again in a few months.

The other consideration is preparing for emergencies. If you have a decent emergency fund and are prepared to handle an unexpected financial situation, then investing may be a good idea. If you don?t have an emergency fund in place, then consider building your rainy day fund first ? that way you don?t have to withdraw your investment shortly after making it. Remember, investments can lose money, and the last thing you want to happen is to need to withdraw your investment during a downturn in the market.

Always start with an investing goal. The first step of any investment is to begin by determining your investment goals. Every decision you make needs to reflect your investment goal. In most cases, your investments will fall into two buckets medium term, or 5-10 years, or retirement. If you need the money in less than five years, you are saving, not investing. Your time frame will also help you decide if you need to invest in a retirement account, such as an IRA or 401k, or if you should invest in a non-retirement account, which gives you access to your money more easily, and without the likelihood of penalties or fees.

The case for a short term investment. If you are planning on buying a home in the next 5-10 years, paying for your children?s college, or otherwise plan to access your money in the next few years, then consider investing in a non-retirement account. This will give you access to your money when you need it, without having to worry about early withdrawal penalties that can occur when you withdraw retirement funds before retirement age.

The case for retirement investing. Retirement investing gets a lot of publicity, and with good reason: very few companies offer pension plans, and social security benefits may not be enough to fund your retirement. The more money you put away now, the more time you have for compound interest to work it?s magic, and the less you will have to worry about retirement investing in the future. The only downside to putting a lot of money away for retirement is the inability to easily access the funds without penalty. If you think you will need the money in the near future, then consider investing in a taxable (non-retirement) fund.

Related info: More information on Cash Savings vs. Retirement Savings.

Choose your investment plan carefully.

Roth or Traditional? If you decide to invest in a retirement account, your next decision is to go with a Traditional or Roth IRA or 401k. Here is the basic difference: Traditional IRAs and 401k plans offer a tax break on your income now. Your contributions are tax deductible (up to certain income limits), and your investments grow until you retire. Once you reach retirement age, you can begin making withdrawals from your retirement accounts, and the withdrawals will be taxed at that time. Roth retirement plans are taxed in an opposite manner. Your income is taxed today and it will grow tax free until retirement age, at which point you can make tax free withdrawals. Roth retirement plans are almost always better, especially for younger individuals, and those who are earning less money (because they have more time to let the earnings grow tax free, and lower income earners are in lower tax brackets). Here are some more articles which might be helpful in understanding the differences among the IRA plans, IRA contribution limits, and Roth IRA withdrawal rules.

Where Should You Invest $1000 Dollars?

Keep your investing simple!

Great ? you?ve decided you are going to invest a thousand dollars, but now you don?t know where to start. I get it. There is a huge investment world out there, and it can be intimidating. Let?s do two things to help eliminate much of the noise, and help you decide where to put your investment.

1). Go back to the beginning. Remember the investment goal you set? Always go back to your goals and your investment decisions will be much easier. Keep this in mind if you meet with an investment advisor. Some of them will try to sell you an investment. Always ask if the investment meets your goals. For example, someone may try to sell you life insurance as an investment. If retirement is your goal, then you should think twice about investing in life insurance when other investments might be a better long term match for you.

2). Keep it simple. You don?t need to invest in individual companies, penny stocks, binary options, FOREX, or any other exotic investments. If you can?t explain an investment to someone in 30 seconds, it?s probably too complicated. Keep it simple. Here?s how:

Consider a target date fund. Target date funds are a mixed investment portfolio that features a variety of investments that are automatically balanced for a certain date in the future. In other words, you can buy into an investment that is entirely hands off, and that will maintain a reasonable blend of risk and reward. Here is more information about how target date funds work. Keep in mind target date funds aren?t perfect. But they are a great place to start when you have limited investment funds.

Target date funds automatically adjust their holdings ? making them a great investment for first-time investors.

Where to find good target date funds: There are a few things to keep in mind about target date funds. They can have expensive management fees, depending on who manages the fund. In general, you will find a good fund if you choose a target date fund from one of the major mutual fund houses. Another thing to consider is the minimum investment requirement. Vanguard requires a $1,000 minimum investment for their target date funds, while some of the other large firms require a minimum of $2,000 or $3,000. Some funds require a minimum of $5,000 or even $10,000. I have had great experiences with Vanguard, and recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent selection of low fee investments.

Find a way around the minimum investment requirements. If you don?t have $1,000-$10,000 to invest in a single fund, then look at other options. Some companies allow you to start an investment with less than the minimum requirement as long as you make regular monthly investments. If you can?t swing that, then consider other options. A simple way around the large minimum investment requirement is to open an account with Betterment, which has a $25 minimum investment ? making investing affordable for anyone. They primarily use Vanguard funds, and are able to remove the minimum requirement because they purchase the funds in bulk. There is a small fee to use Betterment, but it is reasonable and a good way to get started when you can?t otherwise meet the investment minimums. For more information, you can read our full Betterment review, or visit their site.

Start Today ? Put Your $1,000 to Work!

Investing can seem complicated, but it doesn?t have to be. Determine whether you should invest your money, or use it for more immediate goals, create your investing goals, then find an investment to help you reach those goals. There is still a lot of work you need to do to investigate the exact investment to purchase, but following these steps will help you eliminate most of the noise and help keep you on track. If you are just starting, then keep things simple. Start with a target date fund, then learn more about the stock markets and investing. Once you have more money to invest and a better understanding of how things work, you can venture into different types of investments.

Kevin Durant Has NBA?s Second Best Selling Jersey, Russell Westbrook 12th

on November 28, 2012M at 7:00 am

Kevin Durant has finished second to LeBron James yet again.

This time, Durant?s runner-up finish came off the court and was out of his control.

Durant?s No. 35 Thunder jersey is the league?s second best seller based on sales at the NBA store in New York City and on NBAStore.com from April through Nov. 26. James ranked first for the third times since 2001.

But this is the highest Durant has climbed on the list of the league?s most popular jerseys. In the league?s previous survey of the top 15 most popular jerseys Durant ranked eighth. He ranked seventh in April 2011 but fell one spot after the Dallas Mavericks? championship shot Dirk Nowitzki into the top 15 at No. 7. Durant ranked ninth in April 2010 and 15th in January 2010, which was his first time in the top 10 since his rookie season.

Russell Westbrook, meanwhile, debuts in the top 15 at No. 12, in between fellow point guards Deron Williams (11th) and Steve Nash (13th).

Rounding out the top 10 are Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. Paul Pierce ranked 14th and Nowitzki was 15th.

The Thunder is the sixth most popular selling team, ranking in the top 10 for the third straight time. In April, the Thunder ranked seventh. In April 2011, the Thunder again ranked sixth.

New York is the league?s top-selling team for the first time since December 2004. Miami ranks second. The Los Angeles Lakers are third despite being the only team to have three players among the top 15 best selling jerseys. Chicago and Boston rank fourth and fifth, respectively.

Brooklyn ranks seventh, followed by the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio and Dallas.

Durant has been beaten out consistently by James for awards, accolades and accomplishments over the past three seasons, most notably in last year?s NBA Finals matchup between the Thunder and Heat. James also has secured two of the past three regular season MVP trophies, winning both over Durant. In mid-May, after finishing 185 points shy of James for MVP honors, Durant jokingly said he?s grown tired of second-place finishes.

?I?ve been second since high school,? Durant said. ?Second draft pick. Second best player (in the country behind Greg Oden) in high school. Second in MVP voting twice. So I?m over that being second stuff.?

In the Thunder?s season opener at San Antonio, Durant became the second youngest player to reach the 10,000-point milestone. He joined the club at 24 years, 34 days old.

The youngest to get there?

LeBron James, of course.

Oprah Reveals Breast Cancer Scare | NBC Chicago

Oprah Winfrey revealed a breast cancer scare to a Los Angeles audience.

The queen of all media had a recent brush with her own mortality.

According to the New York Times, Oprah Winfrey told the audience at a Los Angeles conference last month that she had a breast cancer scare the week before, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The revelation was also news to her best friend, Gayle King, who was also on stage, and King reportedly grew visibly upset.

Many of the audience questions at the event pertained to Winfrey's struggles with her OWN cable network, but one woman chided her for not blindsiding King with the breast cancer news in public.

Past health problems for Winfrey have included a 2007 thyroid problem that she said contributed to weight gain.

Prosecutors: Demjanjuk died of natural causes

BERLIN (AP) ? Bavarian prosecutors say they've found no evidence that negligence by medical professionals helped lead to the death of John Demjanjuk while he was appealing his conviction for Nazi war crimes.

Demjanjuk's attorney in June had asked for an investigation, alleging that pain medication given to Demjanjuk may have exacerbated his kidney problems.

But prosecutors' spokesman Bernd Magiera told The Associated Press on Tuesday the investigation had been closed after "no evidence was found of either any foul play or any error by the doctors."

Demjanjuk was convicted in May 2011 on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder on allegations he served as a guard at the Nazis' Sobibor death camp. He denied ever serving as a guard anywhere and died in March at 91 while his conviction was under appeal.

How to help Dennis Hallman?s family after devastating house fire

As we mentioned last week, former UFC fighter Dennis Hallman lost his home the night before Thanksgiving to a fire. Luckily, no one was home and no one was injured in the fire that took six hours to put out. The MMA community has responded to help Hallman and his four children rebuild.

Fighter Benji Radach has put together a fund to help Hallman rebuild. 113 people have already donated to get the total over $10,000. To donate, click here. People have already contributed amounts ranging from $5 to $500.

Hallman has been fighting since 1996, and he told Sports Illustrated that the worst things he lost in the fire were irreplaceable items like pictures of his family and programs from his fights.

"That's the stuff that makes you want to cry when you think about it. At first, I was angry about it, but sitting there with my sons around me, I thought, I can't take any of that stuff with me to the grave," said Hallman.

Detroit company gets auto show and movie cars ready for prime-time

I know you, dear readers, love the glitz and glamour of the North American International Auto Show. We are the Motor City after all. But did you ever wonder who builds some of those great Ford concept vehicles, prototypes and cutouts you ooo and ahh over??It?s Detroit talent.

Did you ever wonder who teamed up with Dreamworks and GM to build the cool vehicles used in the Transformer 2 movie? It?s Detroit talent.

Did you ever wonder who works with the agencies and preps vehicles for some of those cool Ford car ads? It?s Detroit talent.

Did you ever wonder who salvages and disposes of Ford test vehicles? It?s Detroit talent.

Did you ever wonder who gets some of those muscle cars, street rods, custom, collector and special interest vehicles in tip-top shape for the Woodward Dream Cruise?

Again, it?s Detroit talent.

DST Industries, which sits within earshot of the runways at the Detroit airport in Romulus, is responsible. ?It?s a full-service, Tier 1 automotive supplier that offers an entire portfolio of services for large automakers, individual auto enthusiasts, the photo and film production industries and more.

Ford is its core customer. DST makes, delivers, preps, stores and recycles many of those Ford auto show concepts and prototypes ? not just for the Detroit show but also for others such as the LA Auto Show, which is going on this week. DST will prep, deliver and maintain 60 Ford vehicles for that show and then turn around and get ready for the Detroit show in January. That means working 24/7 ? no long holiday breaks for them ? and they love it ? stress and all.

?This is a reactionary business,? says Don Snell, COO of DST Industries. ?We must adjust our time.?

When the Los Angeles and Detroit auto shows are behind them the DST team will get those vehicles ready and deliver them to shows in New York and Washington, DC, as well as regional auto shows in places like Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Cleveland and Toledo.

The work is challenging and the DST team must spin in a dime when its customers demand changes or have new ideas. Do you remember working the interactive Ford Touch at the auto show? Well, it was built at DST. ?Do you remember Mustang Garage? Also DST.

Many auto show concepts and prototypes as well as test vehicles have a short life span. DST?s vehicle recovery services remove and recycle usable parts from one-off prototypes to high-mileage fleet vehicles and then dispose of the vehicles. Untested and concept parts are scrapped. Reusable parts are sold at auction or used right away. The vehicles are then crushed, melted down and what?s left is recycled. ?The process has saved Ford $3 ? $4 million annually and is environmentally friendly, Snell says.

DST?s work doesn?t stop with auto shows and scrappage. ?It also plays a key role in advertising campaigns ? work that is fun, challenging and sometimes very scary.

A few years back DST worked on an ad for the Ford F350 where the truck had to pull a boat through the ice. The ad was shot in Russia. To get the truck where the ad was filmed the team had to rent a Russian fishing trawler. It required moving the vehicle from Norway to Russia as well as filming on the black sand beaches in Iceland. ?This was the most complicated ad the DST team has worked on ? at least so far, says Snell. Adding polar bears to the mix sure didn?t help.
DST also offers marketing support. Its operation in Palm Springs houses film and video production facilities that include sound and photo stages, private outdoor grounds with a mountain backdrop and other services. That operation also serves as the launch point for getting vehicles ready for the LA Auto Show.

Getting cars ready for the movies, too

That said, fun is essential to the DST team and Snell says working on the Transformer 2 vehicles for Dreamworks and GM was great fun. The team build 20 vehicles that turned into Jolt (Chevy Volt), Bumblebee (Chevy Camaro), Mudflap (Chevy Trax), Slidz (Chevy Beat), Sideswipe (Chevy Stingray), Ratchet (Hummer H2), Swerve (Chevy Aveo) ? well you get the idea. Many of these vehicles were just in the concept stage so DST hand built fiberglass bodies that had to withstand trips to filming locations such as the George Washington Bridge, an Air Force base in California and sites in Israel.

The team had three months to deliver the finished vehicles.

?The GM guys didn?t think we could get it done in time,? says Snell. ?They were amazed. We have very talented people working for us. We put 50-60 people on it and they worked 24/7.
?The Michigan film credits gave us the opportunity,?? he says. ?We bid on Transformers 3 but it was a no go because the lack of film credits.??

DST employs 165 people, some of whom have been with the company for more than 40 years.

Restoring cars in Detroit

So what do they do in the offseason? Auto shows are basically early winter, spring and late fall events. A year ago DST added an auto restoration business in Romulus, which keep the summer months full.

It?s a lucrative business. Many baby boomers are still in love with the cars they owned or wanted as teenagers and will often spend more than the vehicle is worth. ?It?s an emotional thing,?? says Bob Milligan, who heads the classic/vehicle restoration business. DST?s most expensive work ? a $90,000 bottom-up restoration.

Detroit Unspun checked out some of the vehicles currently in the shop. We saw a redone Autorama-quality ?53 Chevy. There was a ?65 Mustang red convertible a guy from Florida wanted completely redone for the Woodward Dream Cruise. A ?75 Chevy Caprice with new engine paint and top. A ?57 Dodge Panel with a redone engine. We could go on and on.

Restoration isn?t a quick job. It takes an average of five months to get one done, says Milligan.

Still, DST was able to give Kurt Newman?s 1988 Mustang a facelift just in time for the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise, according to a story on WXYZ. ?The car was disassembled the car, given a fresh coat of paint and new carpeting. Newman picked it up on Friday just in time for the Cruise.

DST was founded in 1955 and is a woman-owned business. President and CEO Brenda Lewo took over the business when her husband died several years ago and is working to grow the business. Fortunately, that seems to be happening.

New crab species discovered off the coast of Belize

ScienceDaily (Nov. 26, 2012) ? Areopaguristes tudgei. That's the name of a new species of hermit crab recently discovered on the barrier reef off the coast of Belize by Christopher Tudge, a biology professor at American University in Washington, D.C.

Tudge has been interested in biology his whole life, from boyhood trips to the beach collecting crustaceans in his native Australia, to his undergraduate and PhD work in zoology and biology at the University of Queensland. He has collected specimens all over the world, from Australia to Europe to North and South America.

Until now, he has never had a species named after him. He only found out about his namesake after reading an article about it in the journal Zootaxa. Apparently, finding out after-the-fact is standard practice in the highly formalized ritual of naming a new species.

The two crustacean taxonomists and authors of the paper who named the new crab after Tudge, Rafael Lemaitre of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and Darryl L. Felder of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette's Department of Biology Laboratory for Crustacean Research, have known Tudge since he first came to Washington in 1995 as a postdoc research fellow at the Smithsonian.

Crustecean Elation

Lemaitre and Felder have been collecting specimens on the tiny Belizean island for decades and for more than 10 years, they had asked Tudge -- who specializes in the structures of crustacean reproduction and how they relate to the creatures' evolutionary history -- to join them on one of their semiannual research outings. Finally, in February 2010, Tudge joined them on a tiny island covered with hundreds of species of their favorite fauna.

It was crab heaven for a cast of crustacean guys.

"So you can take 40 steps off the island and you're on the edge of the reef, and then the back part of the reef is what they call the lagoon," Tudge recalled. "You slowly walk out into ever-increasing depths of water and it's a mixture of sand and sea grass and bits of coral, and then there's some channels. There's lots of different habitats there. Some islands are covered by mangroves. So we would visit all the different habitats that were there."

"We would collect on the reef crest, go and turn over coral boulders on the reef flat, snorkel over the sea grass beds. We pumped sand and mud to get things out of the ground. We walked into the mangroves and collected crustaceans from under the mangrove roots. We even snorkeled in the channels in the mangrove islands."

But discovering the new species was much less involved: Tudge turned over a coral boulder in an intertidal area, saw 50 or so tiny crabs scrambling around, and stuck a dozen or so specimens in a bottle before going on with his work. Only later in the lab, under the microscope, was it determined that this isolated little group of hermit crabs might be unique.

As the journal authors write: "Given this cryptic habitat and the relatively minute size of the specimens (shield length range = 1.0-3.0 mm), it is not surprising that these populations have gone unnoticed during extensive sampling programs that have previously taken place along the Barrier Reef of Belize."

Getting the Word

Tudge found out only recently found out that Areopaguristes tudgei -- a tiny hermit crab differentiated from others in its genus by such characteristics as the hairs growing on some of its appendages -- was joining the list of about 3 million known species. Lemaitre emailed him a PDF of the finished article. A note said only, "Here's a new species. What do you think?" The note had a smiley emoticon.

That's the way it works, said Tudge's colleague American University's College of Arts and Sciences, biology professor Daniel Fong. There's no warning; one day you just find out. Fong has also had species named after him, and he has discovered new ones as well.

"You go through several emotions when a species has been named after you," Fong said. "It is truly an honor, in the most formal sense of the term, that your colleagues have thought of naming a species after you. It is a very special type of recognition of your contribution to your research field by your colleagues."

Amid their exhaustive taxonomic description, complete with drawings and photographs of Areopaguristes tudgei, the journal article authors explain why they chose its name: "This species is named after our colleague Christopher C. Tudge (American University) who first noticed and collected populations of this diminutive hermit crab living under large dead coral boulders during joint field work in Carrie Bow Cay. The name also acknowledges his unique contributions to knowledge of the reproductive biology of hermit crabs."

ICOA Corp. CEO: $400M Google Acquisition ?NOT TRUE. We Never Had Discussions With Any Potential Acquirers? [Update: Now Google Also Confirms]

Chalk it up to process journalism, or to a sneaky "stock promoter." The CEO of WiFi provider ICOA Corp confirmed to TechCrunch -- and Google has now also confirmed -- that it has not been acquired by Google for $400 million - a story that had made the rounds earlier today. "This is NOT TRUE!!" wrote CEO George Strouthopoulos in an email. "Never had any discussions with any potential acquirers!! This is absolutely false!" he wrote in an email. "Someone, I guess a stock promoter with a dubious interest, is disseminating wrong, false and misleading info in the PR circles."

Why greenhouse gases hit record high in 2011

Carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, reached 390.9 parts per million last year, or 40 percent above the pre-industrial level, the World Meteorological Organization said. It cited fossil fuel as the primary source.

By Staff,?Reuters / November 20, 2012

This month, California?s largest greenhouse gas emitters began buying permits in a landmark ?cap-and-trade? system meant to control emissions of heat-trapping gases and spur investment in clean technologies. At left, an oil refinery o in Bakersfield, Calif.

The volume of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activities, grew at a similar rate to the previous decade and reached 390.9 parts per million (ppm), 40 percent above the pre-industrial level, the survey said.

It has increased by an average of 2 ppm for the past 10 years.

RECOMMENDED: Are you scientifically literate? Take the quiz.

Fossil fuels are the primary source of about 375 billion tonnes of carbon that has been released into the atmosphere since the industrial era began in 1750, the WMO said.

WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud said the billions of tonnes of extra carbon dioxide would stay in the atmosphere for centuries, causing the planet to warm further.

"We have already seen that the oceans are becoming more acidic as a result of the carbon dioxide uptake, with potential repercussions for the underwater food chain and coral reefs," he said in a statement.

Levels of methane, another long-lived greenhouse gas, have risen steadily for the past three years after levelling off for about seven years. The reasons for that evening out are unclear.

Growth in volumes of a third gas, nitrous oxide, quickened in 2011. It has a long-term climate impact that is 298 times greater than carbon dioxide.

The WMO, the United Nations' weather agency, said the three gases, which are closely linked to human activities such as fossil fuel use, deforestation and intensive agriculture, had increased the warming effect on the climate by 30 percent between 1990 and 2011.

The prevalence of several less abundant greenhouse gases was also growing fast, it said.

Sulphur hexafluoride, used as an electrical insulator in power distribution equipment, had doubled in volume since the mid-1990s, while hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) were growing at a rapid rate from a low base.

But chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and most halons were decreasing, it said.

Understanding mental health

The?difference?between?mental?illness?and?health

Maya?McDonald?|?Fulcrum?Contributor

Illustration by Brennan Bova

YOU CAN?T PUT a Band-Aid on your brain. But just like any bone, muscle, or organ in your body, it needs to be kept healthy. Mental health is as central an aspect of overall wellness, as is your blood pressure or the condition of your heart and lungs. Schools, medical organizations, and various media all report on the significance of mental health, but many people are left wondering what exactly is so important about it.

Mental health is often misinterpreted in the media, whether it?s on screen or in a paper or magazine. What is actually being portrayed in many of these media outlets is mental illness. Failure to interact in social settings, unwillingness to perform daily tasks, and attempts of self-harm or suicide are all characteristics of mental illness, not mental health.

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), a not-for-profit organization that seeks to identify, define, and categorize mental health, details mental health and its importance. The website includes information on how an individual, based on age, tends to respond to difficulties in learning, personal or family crises, various types of stress, and feelings of sadness, grief, or anger. The CMHA seeks to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and make the focus towards it more positive.

So how do we cultivate mental health? The CMHA identifies mental health as ?striking a balance in all aspects of your life: social, physical, spiritual, economic and mental.? As university students, achieving this balance can seem to get more difficult every day. In order to effectively maintain this balance, you should aim to have an active social life, eat the right foods, get enough sleep, manage your finances, and maintain a positive attitude. All this can be a difficult task?trust me, I know. Between being a full-time student and competitive athlete, volunteering, and working part-time, I sometimes feel as if there is no room to create this balance?and I?m sure I?m not the only one. So why don?t more people inquire about how to make this change?

The answer is simple. If something seems to be working alright, people tend to leave well enough alone; and if there is a problem, it can be difficult to seek help, especially in an area shrouded by stereotypes like mental health. Statistics Canada compiled a series of facts and figures about mental illnesses, and they projected ?that 10 to 20 per cent of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder.? While this number may seem high, very few people who are suffering from the disease actually come forward or identify as having a mental illness.

The fact is, you don?t need to have a mental illness to start seeking methods of improving your mental health. It?s the same way you would eat the proper foods to stay healthy, organize your home and work space to stay focused, or go to the gym to stay in shape?you shouldn?t wait until something becomes chaotic to fix it. You only get one brain, so take good care of it.

The basics of In-Home Hospice Care | Voooz.com

People affected by incurable illnesses need a different sort of attention. They want emotional care more than they do medical treatment. Medical facilities can offer medical assistance, but the hospital atmosphere can be gloomy or restrictive, and may make individuals feel unhappy and homesick. Providing family members with in-home hospice care or checking them into a small hospice in close proximity to home could be a more sensible choice.

Death is a natural phenomenon and no one can get away from it, but the minds of men and women with incurable ailments are often loaded with fear. They may have lost the drive to fight. This is the reason hospice care may be very essential. Hospice care can provide both medical attention and sentimental ease and comfort to dying individuals. People doing work for hospices are generally volunteers from the healthcare industry with interests in social service and charity. They often dont work for cash. These volunteers assist suffering men and women live with peace of mind and dignity within the last days of their existence. The people working for hospices have great medical information and try their best to lower their patients bodily pain.

Occasionally, the family of a terminal patient also suffer both financially and emotionally. The dying person could have been the biggest breadwinner of the household. In these instances, a few hospices and care providers give some financial help to the family members.

Typically, a patient needing hospice care has less than half a year to live. The hospice can send a staff member to the patients home and care for the patient there. This will provide comfort to people who want to commit the remaining days of their life with loved ones. Hospice employees can offer support to relatives who want to help look after their terminally-ill loved one.

Several patients prefer to have their relatives care for them instead of having hospice workers come over. In such cases, hospices can provide training workshops and guidance to the family members to allow them to take good care of their dying loved one appropriately.

They could also transfer a patient to a hospice center. These are typically pleasant and friendlier when compared with regular hospitals. This is also a good option since the patient might get a chance to mingle with other people with similar problems. The hospice can also request a transfer if the patient needs medical assistance at a hospital, or if a hospitalized patient wishes to transfer to a hospice.

Hospice care doesnt require trying to cure the patients health problems. It concentrates more on the handling the emotional needs of the patients experiencing terminal diseases. The volunteers would try everything they can to get rid of the patients negative thoughts and thoughts and help them stop stressing about death.

You can find out more about hospice care by researching online. Internet websites can provide more information on hospice care services and centers, and might assist you in finding the appropriate provider for your own loved one.

Who is fighting whom, and why?

The rebel force made up of deserters from the Congolese Army formed in the jungle hinterland of eastern Congo earlier this year, calling itself the March 23 Movement, after the date of a failed peace deal signed in 2009. It is now also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army. It is made up almost entirely of soldiers from the Tutsi tribe, who were folded into Congo?s national Army following an earlier rebellion in 2008, which led to the 2009 agreement. But Tutsi commanders claimed the Congolese government was failing to promote their troops, or to honor peace deal promises of better pay, and they mutinied in April, with between 1,500 and 2,500 troops. Since then, they have been at war with the Army.?

What are the rebels? goals??

On the face of it, they have been fighting to win control of territory that they can later agree to give up in return for guarantees that the conditions of the March 2009 peace treaty are honored. Now that they control Goma, the largest city in eastern Congo and a base for many international aid agencies and the United Nations, they have a very strong hand in future negotiations. Beyond this strategy, however, the area the rebels are fighting over has vast troves of valuable mineral resources, and controlling the mines is extremely lucrative.?

What is Rwanda?s involvement in this??

In 2008, the precursor to the M23 was the CNDP, led by a Tutsi general called Laurent Nkunda, who was said to be close to Rwanda?s government and its president, Paul Kagame. Mr. Nkunda was arrested and is under house arrest in Rwanda. But many of the CNDP?s commanders and troops now man the M23. This new group initially appeared to be less connected to Rwanda, which has a long history of military and political interference in its giant neighbor. However, a report to the UN Security Council in October claimed that Rwanda and Uganda were arming and financing the rebels, and in Rwanda?s case, supplying troops. Rwanda has strongly denied this.?

Why would Rwanda want to get involved??

How To Get On Top With Search Engine Optimization | Website ...

TIPS! Placing a site map on your webpage will not only boost the traffic your site gets on a daily basis, but also its overall ranking. This way all the pages on your site will be linked together.

SEO allows a business to increase its rank in search engines based on searchable keywords. By using popular and specific keywords on your website, you can attract targeted customers. This information can help decode some of the mystery that surrounds search engine algorithms and search engine optimization concepts.

TIPS! Keyword density is important when optimizing an internet page for various search engines. Your keyword content on any given page should not exceed 20 percent.

Entertain many different options for posting links that can bring traffic back to your site, including press releases, articles, blogs, forums in your niche and directory submissions. When you have acquired a plethora of inbound links from well regarded sites you will see a huge jump in the success of your SEO efforts.

TIPS! You should avoid creating entire pages that are filled with nothing but links. Adding links into your content makes them part of your page and easy to use.

Image links are not good for search engine optimization. The only purpose an image link serves is to store the URL of a linked file. This is not as beneficial when search engines index them.

TIPS! When you choose to use a SEO to do marketing, you should ask questions about what they do. Ask questions such as how long have they been business, what do they do in order to drive more traffic to your site, what should my expectations be and what is the price.

Look for non-profit or education sites that will link to your site. Search engines look at results from these sites differently and rank them higher because they are considered reputable sources of information. Ensure that the quality of your content is high, and you may attract reliable, professional organizations who want to feature a link to your site on their own. If your content is useful, other websites will want to link to you.

TIPS! Keyword placement throughout your website is key for search engine optimization. Don?t keyword stuff, but get your keywords worked in to the first few sentences of your content.

It is important to be patient while enduring the process of boosting your SEO. Huge amounts of traffic and major changes will not happen in one night. Contrary to what some may tell you, it can be months before you start to get a steady stream of traffic, especially if your site has just been built. It takes as much time to increase the visibility of an online business as it takes for an offline business.

Try to be very descriptive when you are putting up meta tags. The meta tags on each page need to have accurate descriptions and make people want to click.

TIPS! Improving your search engine ranking will improve your overall business. Some companies do not have a grasp of this.

If you do not have the right resources, then you might only be able to optimize your site to one or two good search engines. Using keywords in your structure and content will increase your ranking on search engines other than Google or Yahoo!. , Ask. These must be targeted through different techniques.

TIPS! After you carefully determine which key-phrases you will ?sprinkle? throughout your website, make sure to include them in your web page title. Your title should be relevant, it will be the first impression that you leave with users who may or may not visit your site.

Surveys and games are often enticing to new visitors, and encourage them to linger with your content just a bit longer. Surveys are a great way to engage potential customers, by letting them find the best product for their needs. You should ask shoppers questions about their shopping habits or interests. You?ll learn more about your audience this way and they will have fun doing the survey.

TIPS! Focus as much on keeping people on your site as you do to get them there. This will, in turn, assist in your PageRank numbers.

When it comes to search engine optimization, the most important thing to think about is content. For best results, post timely articles that are of the correct length and use your keywords a few times. You should also use correct grammar and spelling. Having good content will get you far in the search engine optimization world.

TIPS! Make sure your site is easy on the eyes. If you want a higher rank you need to make your content easy to use and understandable.

Comment on relevant blogs to get links to your site. When you give a comment that is relevant, a lot of bloggers will give you a link. Try to place your link only on blogs that are relevant to your business or product, and make sure that your comments provide the blog site with valuable information. Knowing your subject will assist you in leaving valuable comments. Bloggers will then allow you to post a link to your site.

TIPS! If your goal is to improve your ranking, you must make your site search engine spider-friendly. Spiders are going through your content on a constant basis and are always pulling up your site based on keywords and other particulars; however, these spiders have to understand how to actually navigate around your site.

If you want to rank higher on the search engines, aim to include content that delves into a wide variety of topics but still remains focused on your overall idea. For example, if your blog is about baseball, offer articles on baseball cards, baseball players and even baseball equipment. Having various types of content like that can raise you to the top when readers are searching for your subject.

TIPS! Keeping your content unique and fresh is the most important aspect of SEO. People aren?t interested in reading things they?ve already read before, and if people aren?t finding something new on your site, they?ll go elsewhere.

It all comes down to finding out what the formula is that search engines use and implementing the proper techniques to rank high in the search results. The highest-ranking websites are those whose keyword content closely matches a search term; you can make your website one of them by employing keywords properly. You can learn how to use keywords effectively to drive traffic to your website, and this article will teach you how.
