Bottom Line: Cryptocurrency is a baby. It will needs years and years of exposure to the global system, before the masses start accepting it. CRYPTOCURRENCY DISADVANTAGES:
Fact is many people are still unaware of cryptocurrency aka Digital currency
People need to be educated about it to be able to apply it to their lives.
Businesses need to start accepting it
They need to make it easier to sign up and get started.
HIGH RISK OF LOSS
Timothy B. Lee, adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and regular contributor to Forbes.com, identifies four reasons to be cautious about bitcoins:
Lack of Security. There is no safety net or perfect way to protect your bitcoins from human error (passwords), technical glitches (hard drive failures, malware), or fiduciary fraud. According to an article in the UK edition of Wired, 18 of 40 web-based businesses offering to exchange bitcoins into other fiat currencies have gone out of business, with only six exchanges reimbursing their customers. The authors of the study estimate that the median lifespan of any bitcoin exchange is 381 days, with a 29.9% chance that a new exchange will close within a year of opening.
Increased Regulation. While relatively benign guidelines are currently in place, law enforcement agencies could decide that bitcoins are a “giant money laundering scheme,” and enact more stringent regulations that would diminish the currency’s value.
Limited Scaling. The design of the system limits the speed and number of transactions processed, making it unlikely that bitcoins will replace conventional credit card transactions.
Lack of Applications. While acknowledging bitcoins’ popular use for illegal transactions, Lee questions how useful bitcoins really are. To be truly disruptive to existing fiat currencies or electronic payment systems, Bitcoin would need applications for low-cost international money transfers, the creation of complex electronic contracts, or use in Kickstarter-style fundraising campaigns or micropayment transfers.
FINAL THOUGHTS
There are always pros and cons to any situation in life. To be able to make a good decision, you need to weigh the good and bad thoroughly before finalizing your choice. With Cryptocurrency, it’s more about mass acceptance than technology. The technology is here. Only time will tell when the rest of the world (governments, citizens) will say… YES!

You must be logged in to post a comment. HOW WILL CRYPTOCURRENCY HELP YOU? The world is becoming more and more economically unsafe. This is not to say we are not growing. But as Nassim Taleb states in his book. Antifragile. Our economic machine is like a glass jaw. one small punch to it and it all comes crashing down! Both long term and short term this is not good for you and all of the hard working citizen of the world. http://icfkingdomofheaven.blogspot.com/2016/12/how-will-cryptocurrency-help-you-world.html ADVANTAGES OF CRYPTOCURRENCY Fraud: Cryptocurerncies are digital and cannot be counterfeited or reversed arbitrarily by the sender, as with credit card charge-backs. Identity Theft: When you give your credit card to a merchant, you give him or her access to your full credit line, even if the transaction is for a small amount. Credit cards operate on a “pull” basis, where the store initiates the payment and pulls the designated amount from your account. Cryptocurrency use a “push” mechanism that allows the cryptocurrency holder to send exactly what he or she wants to the merchant or recipient with no further information Immediate Settlement: Purchasing real property typically involves a number of third parties (Lawyers, Notary), delays, and payment of fees. In many ways, the bitcoin/cryptocurency blockchain is like a “large property rights database,” says Gallippi. Bitcoin contracts can be designed and enforced to eliminate or add third party approvals, reference external facts, or be completed at a future date or time for a fraction of the expense and time required to complete traditional asset transfers. Access to Everyone: There are approximately 2.2 billion individuals with access to the Internet or mobile phones who don’t currently have access to traditional exchange systems. These individuals are primed for the Crytocurrency market. Kenya’s M-PESA system, a mobile phone-based money transfer and micros financing service recently announced a bitcoin device, with one in three Kenyans now owning a bitcoin wallet. (Let me repeat that again. 1/3) Lower Fees: There aren’t usually transaction fees for cryptocurrency exchanges because the miners are compensated by the network (Side note: This is the case for now). Even though there’s no bitcoin/cryptocurrency transaction fee, many expect that most users will engage a third-party service, such as Coinbase, creating and maintaining their own bitcoin wallets. These services act like Paypal does for cash or credit card users, providing the online exchange system for bitcoin, and as such, they’re likely to charge fees. It’s interesting to note that Paypal does not accept or transfer bitcoins. 5 Benefits of Cryptocurrency: A New Economy For The Future “THE BLOCKCHAIN KEEPS EVERYONE HONEST, AND A WHOLE LAYER OF BANKING BUREAUCRACY IS REMOVED, LOWERING COSTS.” – PAUL VIGNA http://christtheeverlastinggod.blogspot.com/2016/12/advantages-of-cryptocurrency-fraud.html

Instant Pot Pumpkin Pudding {allergy-friendly!} | Starting out our holiday morning with a creamy, sweet pumpkin treat most definitely makes me thankful and ready to celebrate! This is one of those recipes that proves special doesn't have to be difficult. Just stir, pour, cook, and chill -- that's really it! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
We had this for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning…
And this creamy, sweet pumpkin treat sure made me thankful!
This recipe proves that special doesn’t have to be difficult. Just stir together all the ingredients, pour, cook, and chill — that’s really it!
Instant Pot pumpkin pudding isn’t like a liquid-y pudding. This one actually holds its shape (kinda like Christmas pudding), so it’s just as much eye candy as it is yummy for your tummy.
For instance, you may have noticed that gorgeous white liquid running down the sides… That is a lovely (and sugar-free) Coconut-Ginger Glaze. May I humbly suggest that you do not skip this step? 😉 It balances the sweetness of the pudding so nicely, and the ginger is just the right accent to the pumpkin and the coconut. The crispy walnuts on top add the perfect crunch.
Make your holiday table beautiful with this simple, elegant dessert — Instant Pot pumpkin pudding. It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and low in sugar, so I say it counts as breakfast, too!

Serves 5.
Author: Lindsey Dietz
Recipe type: Dessert, Breakfast
Ingredients
For the pumpkin pudding:
½ cup coconut milk (raw milk is also fine if you tolerate dairy)
2 teaspoons sustainably-sourced gelatin
¾ cup packed pumpkin (or well-drained homemade pumpkin puree)
½ cup coconut sugar
1 pastured egg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 cup water
For the coconut-ginger glaze:
¾ cup coconut cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/16 teaspoon stevia
Instructions
Add milk to a saucepan.
Then sprinkle with gelatin.
Turn heat to medium-low to gently heat the milk.
Whisk the milk to dissolve the gelatin.
Then remove from heat.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the milk + gelatin, pumpkin, coconut sugar, egg, spices, and salt.
Whisk until smooth.
Then pour into a well-greased 3-cup bowl, souffle dish, or jello mold.
Add 1 cup water and trivet to pressure cooker.
Place the pumpkin pudding on the trivet.
Then put on the lid of your cooker, checking that the seals and all components are in good shape, including being in the sealing position.
If using an electric cooker, set to high pressure for 30 minutes.
With a stovetop cooker, bring to high pressure and maintain pressure for a cook time of 30 minutes.
Then once cycle is complete, if using an electric cooker, hit the Cancel button to turn off the heat.
With a stove-top cooker, remove from heat.
Place a towel over the pressure release knob and allow pot to do a quick pressure release.
Then carefully remove the pudding and allow it to cool to room temperature. Do not disturb it while it cools.
Next, put the pudding into the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, or until it is totally set.
Run a butter knife around the edge of the cooking dish and turn the pudding over on to a plate or cake stand.
Combine the glaze ingredients by whisking in a small bowl until completely smooth.
Then drizzle over the finished pudding.
Finally, garnish with crispy walnuts, if desired. Enjoy!
About The Cooking Dish
Any 3-cup glass bowl, mini bundt pan, or souffle dish will work as the “mold”. I used a vintage jello mold to create this stunning pudding.
Just make sure you grease it really well with fat so that the pudding slides right out!
Also, I pressure cooked this pudding right in my Instant Pot, so whatever dish you use needs to fit inside your pressure cooker, and be easily removed.
Do you think you’ll enjoy this Instant Pot pumpkin pudding for breakfast or dessert?

Would Clear Jell work as the gelatin? I am the winner of the Insta Pot given away on a recommended site where Wardee taught once a month cooking. My daughter is really enjoying it! Now we can both learn together! Thanks!

I’m not familiar with that product, as I only use pure beef gelatin from a sustainable source. If it’s meant for Jello, however, it should work.

And what is that spray for .?. what does it do ?.. So.. this is a chicken tractor yes ?? and if so , will that spot be where you will have your garden?? I noticed a chain link fence , is that your property line?? do you have a rough plan on paper of where you would like everything in the future to be situated ? It looks to me like your daughters really likes chickens, do you think she might like rabbits too, I mean there about the same size , and dad could make the hutches .. She might even like growing meal worms.. You front garden there looks like a great place to grow edible flowers or vegies..I'm sorry I just like asking questions....

let me just add , another couple of angle pipes for the feeders and a flip down lid on a bungy means you wont have to go into the run as often, also pipes with spring chicken nipples will help with the water, last but not least a pulley on the door connected to the outside means you can open and close it without going inside to......

Oh I love going in and interacting with the birds. I don't want to automate it too much (at least at this point). I still have to go in to clean the coop anyway. Chores really only take about 10-15 min anyway. We are going to build a bucket with chicken nipples and see how that works. Thanks for the tips!

Chicks are like puppy's and kittens, very cute and needy.
As chicks get older they slowly turn into velociraptors so don't turn you back on them ;-)....But seriously, we thought Buffs were a 'nice' breed... but the ISA Browns are amazingly docile and they will follow you around so closely, they will literally get under foot. They are great layers, an egg a day (currently adding two hours of p.m. light in the coop), but only medium size brown eggs.

Hong Kong chief executive election 2017

Hong Kong Financial Secretary John Tsang Chun-wah has said he would “actively consider” running for the top job next year if he concludes that it is best for the city’s long-term interests.
Tsang said “many people” encouraged him to vie for the top job, addressing the chief executive election in the most direct way, after a year of speculation that he was eyeing the position.
–– ADVERTISEMENT ––
“Many people, no matter if they know me or not – or even those on the internet – are very supportive of me joining the election,” Tsang said on Commercial Radio on Saturday. “They feel there are divisions in society and governance is in difficulties, and ask if the situation could be improved.”
But Tsang, who has controlled Hong Kong’s finances for nine years and started his career as a colonial civil servant, also noted that some were against him aiming higher.
Unity elusive for Hong Kong if John Tsang cannot run, former financial minister Antony Leung says
“Many people told me not to run ... because someone would launch smear tactics against you, attack you, or even disturb your family members,” he said.
It would come down to Hong Kong’s long-term interests when he decides, he said.
“It’s not about personal gain or loss, after all,” he said. “It’s whether the decision will contribute to Hong Kong’s overall interests. If something is beneficial to Hong Kong and the people of Hong Kong, I would actively consider this and finally make a decision even if [I] would be attacked and personally affected.”
He did not say when he would make his plan known. Amid speculation that he had been dissuaded by Beijing officials from electioneering, Tsang likened such information to “entertainment news”.
“Don’t be so serious about news without attribution,” he added.
Incumbent Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying had not announced if he would seek re-election, while executive and legislative councillor Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee was expected to make an announcement in the near future. Former High Court judge Woo Kwok-hing, who has a slim chance of winning even with enough nominations, is the only notable figure who has officially thrown his hat in the ring.

'It's easier to grow grapes in PH than in US, Europe'

MANILA, Philippines – While most Filipinos think that it is impossible to grow grapes in the Philippines because of its warm weather, an expert in viticulture stressed that the country is a better place for the fruit than the United States and Europe -- two places where most of the world’s wines are produced.
Unknown to many, the Philippines has been home to several vineyards, said Avelino Lomboy, who has been growing grapes in the country for more than four decades.
He said some of these are located in La Union, Cebu, Cotabato, Iloilo, Masbate and Nueva Ecija.
“In the Philippines, we have the best climate for grapes, which is 25 to 34 degrees Centigrade,” Lomboy explained. “And the temperatures the whole year round stay that way until winter. In Europe, you only grow [grapes] once a year. Here, you can grow [grapes] the whole year.”
“Grapes grow based on summer, so we have the whole year. Heat is not a problem,” he added, referring to the misconception that grapes need cold weather to grow.
Asked if Baguio is a suitable environment for grapes, Lomboy said: “No, because it’s gloomy. The grapes need sunlight. ‘Yung grapes sa Baguio are coming from La Union. Probably coming from me.”
Lomboy has been tapped to help put up the first vineyard in Tagaytay, a picturesque city that is about two hours away from Manila. The 10-hectare vineyard will be part of Twin Lakes, a real estate project of Global Estate Resorts Inc. The company is a subsidiary of the Andrew Tan-led Alliance Global Inc. which also operates Megaworld, among others.
For the vineyard, Lomboy will be working with local brandy maker Emperador and Spanish brandy house San Bruno, which are both owned by Alliance Global.

“We’re also building a chateau, which means we’ll have our own winery,” explained Harold Geronimo, Megaworld’s director for strategic marketing and communications. “We’ll be storing the grapes and we’ll age them. The company of Mr. Tan will be handling the production of the wines.”
Soil not a problem
Lomboy also reacted to questions about the Philippine soil, one of the most important things to consider when planting grapes.
“There’s no problem with the soil quality here,” he said, adding, “[and even if there is] you can condition the soil, or even replace it.”
The primary concern of viticulturists like him, Lomboy said, is the weather. This, according to him, is what gives the Philippines the edge over countries with cooler temperatures.
“In the Philippines, from planting to first harvest, it’s below one year. In America, it will take you three years. Why? Because of autumn and winter, stop ang growth. Pero ang Pilipinas, tuluy-tuloy ang growth because of the sunlight. Mas madaling mag-grow ng grapes sa Pilipinas,” he said.
First fine wines in PH?
With the project, the Andrew Tan-owned company is expected to produce the country’s first fine wines, said Geronimo, who cited the expertise of Lomboy and their Spanish partners.
“So it’s the best of both worlds, Europe and the Philippines. The Philippines with Mr. Lomboy’s expertise for more than four decades in growing grapes, plus the expertise of those growing grapes in Spain. Bring them together to produce the finest wines in the Philippines, the first finest Philippine wines,” he said.
The products of the planned vineyard – mostly wine and brandy – will be sold by Emperador.
But they are not going to do all the work: Alliance Global is also considering to sell lands to those who might want to plant their own grapes.

“We are eyeing certain lots within the area which can be used as a vineyard as well by other interested growers,” said Erwin Francis Go, Megaworld’s vice president for sales and marketing.
“So we’re not just confined to our own vineyard – we’re offering it already to others who might want to build their own vineyard here. We have pockets of available land for them to grow their own vineyard,” he added.
As for the taste of local wines, Lomboy said these are generally sweeter than the ones sold in the United States and Europe, and is expected to be a hit among Filipinos.
“Iba ang napro-produce ng tropical countries because of the heat,” he explained. “Mataas ang sugar content kaysa asim. Kaya iba ito sa Europe.”
Merlot, Shiraz, Chardonnay
The vineyard will be situated within a 177-hectare mixed use area, which is aptly called The Vineyard. The property will feature a low-rise hotel and three towers of condominiums labeled Merlot, Chardonnay and Shiraz -- just like the grape varieties.

The one- and two-bedroom units are priced between P7 million and P12 million each, depending on the size of the balcony, and will be ready by 2017.
Other establishments are also set to occupy the 1,149-hectare Twin Lakes, from shopping areas and restaurants to retirement homes, schools and nature parks.

BAGUIO CITY – Even before Baguio Flower Festival 2016 ended, plans for Panagbenga 2017 are put into place, in coordination with city officials; with suggestions from visitors and local citizens.
According to Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baguio (HRAB) officer Anthony de Leon and Chief of Staff Evangeline Payno, the secretariat accepts all feedback for improvements in future flower festival celebrations.
De Leon added the festival is a continuous work in progress, thus suggestions for a longer parade route, and more landscapes at the Botanical garden and Bayan Park, Aurora Hill are looked into. Miracle gardens are planned with a tripartite body; the Baguio Flower Festival Foundation, Inc. (BFFFI), DOT and the local government of Baguio.
Trainings for cultural dancers and landscapers have been done, de Leon said, with a training for float makers and musicians on the planning board. A Baguio Chamber of Music is envisioned, he added.
A collaborative effort for neighboring municipalities' festivals is growing, with La Union and La Trinidad festival events done close to Panagbenga. A bigger budget for drum and lyre competition is also seen, with more invited groups from other places, for "cultural variety."
Domogan envisions a more improved Melvin Jones and Athletic Bowl, both at Burnham Park for the next festival season, fenced-in additional seats for spectators, substantial renovation and matured grass within the running oval. A thorough evaluation however is needed before the improvements are done, he said.
The all-morning local television coverage for the Panagbenga 2017 street dancing parade shall be worked out, he said. Home-bound spectators would once more witness said event, the mayor added.
Department of Tourism (DOT) Regional Director Venus Tan, during the Panagbenga Kapihan at Session road, said the all-year round blooming and regreening project goes on. This is supposed to start along Central Business District's building facades, in support of Panagbenga 2017.
De Leon added that taxes, at least P2.6M were paid to the city coffers and the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), from the Session road in Bloom and Baguio Blooms.
All documents including the audited report is submitted to the BIR and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within August this year, de Leon said.
Mayor Mauricio Domogan, said that all participants, volunteers, supporters including the Baguio City Police Office personnel and other assigned personnel made Panagbenga a "resounding success." Having a festival of this magnitude is not possible without them, he added.
Philippine Information Agency (PIA-CAR) Regional Director Helen Tibaldo said Panagbenga 2016 is a "community pride," where parochial interests were set aside.
The Baguio Flower Festival's accreditation with the International Festival and Events Association (IFEA) was also delved into. A subsidy, promotions abroad, trainings with scholarship, and nominations for the outstanding communication sector, participant and volunteer may be forwarded to IFEA, it was known.
If the streak goes on, Panagbenga lives up to its name of being the "trailblazer" and "benchmark" festival, as earlier mentioned by the DOT.
DOT RD Tan said she is pleased with Panagbenga 2016's success. -juliegfianza

About the Webcast
The technological components of a “smart city,” including everything from smart grids and driverless cars to automated buildings and advanced sensors, can be complicated. But the core question behind the purpose of a smart city is quite simple: does it make human lives better?
That’s the key theme explored in the webcast “The Connected City: Trends and Developments Driving Smart City Innovation,” produced by MIT Technology Review and IEEE Collabratec. Three influential subject matter experts with different backgrounds in developing smart cities delve into how these cities influence their human populations. Other discussion topics include government’s role in advancing smart cities and key trends affecting the smart-cities landscape. The speakers also examine the required factors for creating intelligent urban environments including a vision, efficient use of technology, an environment that attracts a talented workforce, and an enabling infrastructure.
Dr. Massoud Amin, a professor at the University of Minnesota and IEEE fellow, focuses his research on the energy that powers smart cities, such as the important global transition dynamics needed to enhance these intelligent systems and the technology influencing them. Dr. Ryan Chin, CEO of OptimusRide, concentrates on urban mobility systems, with intriguing work on a network of self-driving, shared-use, and electric vehicles called Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) Systems. Finally, Nigel Jacob comes from the world of civic innovation, working specifically on making urban life better via cutting-edge, people-oriented applications of technology and design.
“Everything we do is geared towards improving human condition and advancing the civilization that we often take for granted,” Amin says. “As engineers, we enable better quality of life for people.”
The bigger-picture discussion continuously points to the idea of promoting a “people-first” approach to developing smart cities. For example, one topic of concern is how involved residents are in transforming their communities into “smart cities.”
“For the past several years, we have been experimenting with several online platforms that are designed to make civic engagement as easy as possible,” Jacob says. “We have always seen this as an opportunity to explore the interface between the public and the private sectors.” By incorporating public input into the decision-making process, communities can feel confident that the systems are doing what’s needed and requested.
“The whole idea of a smart city is not just about power or buildings. It’s about the whole ecosystem--how you educate people, how you empower people, the economic growth it can bring and what opportunities it can bring,” Amin says.
Continue the conversation on IEEE Collabratec, where smart city concepts and ideas are debated, reviewed, and explored every day. Professional Networking On IEEE Collabratec

I am not diabetic. But I would say try it while taking your regular insulin. It should show results in tests after 2 months.
As for side effects, everything has side effects on prolonged use. So fdy Stop Go.
Finally the potential benefits seem tremendous at a low cost. The risks seem observable. Go. For It.

The pervasiveness of kidney failure in our clime has been attributed, among others to the unrestrained consumption of concoctions called "agbo." These are scientifically untested and unproven preparations, often without dosage. Without scientific data showing what is in these substances that reverses the effect of the ailments they are claimed to cure, they are at best dangerous, and need be regarded with caution. Consumer beware!

Nkaninye Amadi . No need making some one's observation sound stupid. We learn every day. Honestly, no one says herbs don't have their usefulness. However, the only problem we really have is scientific analysis to know if they also contain poisonous substance. But most especially the dose to take at what time. I have a friend who was right from age 20 was taking every thing in ogogoro with herbs roots and other concoctions on a regular bases, today just above 50 years, one of his kidneys is damaged. Doctor told him he is lucky the other one is still good. So that is the point w are making.

Folks, those in the pharmacitical industries are not going to tell you the truth because if they do, they will be out of business. There will be no jobs for them and for the doctors. Some independent research institutions need to be setup to validate this finding. That does not mean that the above finding is false.

This mango leaves pretty sure for real helps in curing diabetes...it's true that the pharmaceutical industry will not tell people about the cures because they wanted to maintain sick people for life and get their billions...remember no money on healthy people and a butt load of money on sick one's...so it really depends on us if we wanted to go that route...diabetes runs in our family, I just hope I don't get em especially now that am in my mid forties...I chose to eat whole, no processed, 70% mostly plant based foods and organic as possible...i eat fresh garlic about 5 small wedges/cloves on my smoothie almost everyday...I juice on a daily basis with ginger, beets , carrots , cucumber, celery and apples about 1000 to 1500 cc total fluids of pure organic juice in the morning on an empty stomach consumed in 45 min to an hour...am not just triggering one thing at this point...inflammation is d main cause of everything including diabetes...

There needs to be scientific studies- randomized or cohort looking at the use of this treatment for diabetes as well as the side effects if any. Please do not use this treatment to replace your diabetic medication for now. After appropriate studies have been done showing benefits and side effect profiles maby then you can discuss with your doctor. For now do not use...you can damage your organs.

Description
Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional health practices for its cleansing and immune-boosting properties.* The primary chemical components of Oregano are carvacol and thymol, both in the phenols group, which possess cleansing and antioxidant properties.* Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Additionally, Oregano should be diluted with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken daily can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano can be taken more frequently when seasonal threats are high or as needed to further support the immune system.* In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano also supports healthy digestion.* Oregano acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends and can help support healthy respiratory function when taken internally.*
Uses
Take one drop daily to maintain healthy immune function.*
Add one to two drops to a veggie capsule to support healthy respiratory function.*
Put one drop in place of dried oregano in spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, or on a roast.
Put 10 drops in a 16-ounce spray bottle with water for a surface cleaner.
Directions for Use
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
Topical use: Dilute one to two drops with doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil then apply to desired area.
Cautions
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
Statements with asterisks refer to internal use. All others refer to aromatic or topical use.

Mercury pollution contaminating Arctic wildlife, causing death and reproductive problems among bird populations, studies show
Wednesday, July 20, 2016 by: Wes Maxwell
Tags: mercury contamination, Arctic, shorebirds
(NaturalNews) New research published in The Condor: Ornithological Applications, has shown that shorebirds breeding in Alaska are being exposed to alarming levels of mercury, putting their entire population at risk.
Shorebirds travel to Alaska for their breeding season in the spring, before making the long trek down to Central and South America for the fall and winter.
Due to atmospheric circulation and other factors at play in the Northern hemisphere, high amounts of mercury deposits have been found to accumulate in the Arctic, raising concerns for the breeding populations of these birds.
Arctic mercury pollution causing harmful effects on shorebird populations
According to Phys.org, mercury exposure has been linked to reduced reproductive success and other adverse health reactions in shorebirds.
Even more alarming, the type of mercury present in the aquatic environments that shorebirds commonly forage in, is, for the most part, methylmercury, the chemical element's most dangerous form.
As a result, Marie Perkins of the Biodiversity Research Institute, conducted a study to investigate the exact levels of mercury concentrations in shorebirds and their resulting effects.
By collecting blood and feathers from nine different shorebird species breeding in the Arctic, Perkins and her team of researchers found that some shorebirds examined had "mercury concentrations upwards of two micrograms per gram of blood."
Additionally, shorebird species that commonly foraged in areas distant from highly concentrated methyl-mercury wetlands were found to have the lowest levels of mercury in their blood.
"These species already face a lot of tough new challenges, from climate change to disappearing stop-over habitat, so throwing a neurotoxin in the mix that can reduce reproductive success is likely to harm their populations," wrote Dan Cristol of the College of William & Mary, a researcher not involved in the study.
Effects of mercury on shorebirds' migration abilities
What Cristol believes to be a bigger threat to shorebirds' livelihood than mercury's effect on their reproductive ability though, is its affect on these birds' capacity to carry out arduous, lengthy migrations.
According to Stanford.edu, many shorebird species travel more than 15,000 miles over the course of their annual migrations, sometimes traveling up to 2,000 miles non-stop in less than two days.
Cristol, who is an expert researcher on mercury's effect on birds, is worried that mercury levels in shorebirds "probably spike when they leave the breeding grounds and start burning their reserve fuel, making their already arduous continent-jumping trips even harder."
While much more research needs to be done to determine exactly how exposure to mercury and other heavy metal toxins can result in adverse health effects for Arctic shorebirds, the results so far don't look too promising. For this reason, researchers like Marie Perkins have been encouraged to expand their studies on mercury exposure in Arctic shorebirds.
Perkins, who is currently pursuing her PhD at McGill University, is "working in collaboration with BRI and the Arctic Shorebird Demographics Network to closely examine mercury exposure in multiple shorebird species breeding across the North American Arctic."

Beef Bone Broth
Ingredients
3
pounds beef soup bones (knuckle, neck, or marrow bones)
1
cup water
4
medium carrots, cut up
3
medium onions, unpeeled and cut up
6
stalks celery with leaves, cut up
2
tablespoons dried basil
or thyme, crushed
1
tablespoon salt
20
whole black peppercorns
16
sprigs fresh parsley
4
bay leaves
6
cloves garlic, unpeeled and halved
18
cups cold water
2
tablespoons cider vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place soup bones in a large shallow roasting pan. Roast about 45 minutes or until browned, turning once.
Place soup bones in a 10- to 12-quart stockpot. Pour the 1 cup water into the roasting pan and scrape up browned bits; add water mixture to pot. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to low. Gently simmer, covered, 8 to 12 hours. (For a gentle simmer, you should see tiny bubbles coming to the surface. You will want to monitor cooking so it does not boil. Gentle cooking helps to draw out and develop the flavor of the broth.) Remove soup bones from broth.
Scoop out as many vegetables as you can with a slotted spoon. Strain broth through 4 layers of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth placed in a colander. Discard vegetables and seasonings.
If using the broth while hot, skim fat. Or chill broth in a bowl at least 6 hours; lift off fat with a spoon. Place broth in airtight containers. Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 6 months.
If desired, when bones are cool enough to handle, remove meat. Chop meat; discard bones. Place meat in airtight containers. Cover and chill up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

PRESSURE COOKER DIRECTIONS
Prepare as directed, except reduce all ingredients by half. Roast bones as directed. Pour 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan and scrape up browned bits. In a 6-quart stovetop or electric pressure cooker combine the water mixture and remaining ingredients. Lock lid in place. Set electric cookers on high pressure to cook for 1 1/2 hours. For stovetop cookers, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat according to manufacturer's directions; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat. For electric and stovetop models, let stand to release pressure naturally for at least 15 minutes or according to manufacturer's directions. If necessary, carefully open steam vent to release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully. Continue as directed in recipe. Makes about 10 cups.

THE BONES:
Look for soup bones at your meat counter. Neck bones, back bones, and marrow bones are good choices. Ask your butcher to cut the marrow bones into 2 to 3 inch lengths; this helps expose more of the marrow. You also can save bones from pot roasts and steaks to use for stock. Simply store them in an airtight container in the freezer until you are ready to use them. Be super thrifty and save your bones from prepared broth. They can be reused for another batch of broth. The broth won't have as much flavor in the second round, but will still make good broth.

How to cook Ukoy or Okoy
Ukoy or Okoy Recipe is a delicious dish that is very popular in the Philippines, it is an easy to cook and very flavorful Filipino appetizer. Ukoy is prepared with whole small shrimps with head and shell on, mixed in flour, cornstarch and egg batter and deep fried until crispy. Other places in the Philippines has created their own variation of Okoy or Ukoy. Some instead of using sweet potato as the main ingredient others use squash, papaya or togue. Ukoy is even more delicious if you accompany it with vinegar dipping sauce.
Ukoy or Okoy Ingredients
1/2 cup medium sized shrimps, heads and skin removed ( use the whole shrimp if you have small ones )
1 cup sweet potato ( Kamote ), thinly sliced or grated
1/4 cup carrots, grated or thinly sliced
1/8 cups green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup water
1 tbsp. fish sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
a dash of freshly ground black pepper
1 cup oil, for frying
Vinegar Dip:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tbsp. Patis or Fish sauce
2 birds eye chillies, chopped
Ukoy or Okoy Cooking Instructions
Mix together in a bowl the flour, corn starch, egg, garlic, water, fish sauce and pepper. Mix it very well and make sure it’s free from lumps and set aside.
Wash and peel the sweet potato and carrots then grate it but in you do not have a grater, slice thinly as you can. Then slice the green onions.
Add the sweet potato, green onions, carrots and shrimp into the batter mixture and mix well.
In a frying pan, heat oil just enough to deep fry 2 fritters at a time. Using a slotted spoon, scoop Vege-shrimp batter allowing excess batter to drip off and place in a pan like mini pancakes, frying each side until crispy and lightly brown.
Once cooked, drain each Ukoy fritters on a paper towel to get rid excess oil.
Prepare the vinegar dip by mixing all ingredients and mix well, transfer in small bowl and serve warm.
