![]() ![]() The paper discusses in more detail the specific components of the course that are believed to be most impactful, and the uncertainties associated with this type of research design. Surveys and focus group interviews identify that course graduates have developed a strong personal connection to climate change solutions, and this is realized in their daily behaviors and through their professional careers. Furthermore, our carbon footprint analysis suggests that for the average course graduate, these decisions reduced their individual carbon emissions by 2.86 tons of CO 2 per year. A majority of course graduates reported pro-environmental decisions (i.e., type of car to buy, food choices) that they attributed at least in part to experiences gained in the course. In this paper, we investigate the long-term impact that an intensive one-year university course had on individual carbon emissions by surveying students at least five years after having taken the course. That will require companies to make bold moves.Strategies to mitigate climate change often center on clean technologies, such as electric vehicles and solar panels, while the mitigation potential of a quality educational experience is rarely discussed. Success in a carbon-constrained world will be determined by innovation, acumen, and leadership. Here’s why Swiss Re has put its money and muscle behind an incentive program to persuade employees to reduce their carbon footprints. Virtually any firm in any sector can reap the benefits of investors’ surging demand for business ideas that will take advantage of changing views and regulations on greenhouse gases.Ī key part of the strategy at Masisa, a forestry and wood-manufacturing company in Chile, is to engage B2B customers in efforts to become greener. How will the prospect of climate change affect your business in the midterm? A consolidated balance sheet for a company in the year 2010 suggests answers. Ironically, the buying spree may end up tarnishing those firms’ green credentials. Corporations need to know what regulatory issues are at stake-and where.Ĭompanies have been outdoing one another with high-profile purchases of renewable energy certificates symbolizing “green” electricity. ![]() Sitting on the sidelines as climate policy forms is reckless. If You’re Not at the Table, You’re on the Menu Companies that fail to meet those expectations face serious consequences, for four reasons.Īlyson Slater, the director of strategy at Global Reporting Initiative-the organization that developed the most widely used framework of reporting principles for carbon emissions-discusses the benefits of voluntary disclosure. The forecast for extreme climate phenomena and their expected repercussions.Ĭustomers, capital markets, governments, and NGOs are putting more pressure on corporations to report on emissions and reduce them. By taking the lead in helping those areas adapt to global warming, firms can advance their interests while building goodwill in communities where they do business. The effects of climate change on companies’ operations are now so tangible and certain that the issue is best addressed with the tools of the strategist, not the philanthropist.Ĭlimate change could devastate the economies of vulnerable regions. This month’s Forethought takes a hard-nosed look at the risks and opportunities of climate change. Climate change will affect everything businesses do, as government efforts to mitigate carbon emissions cause their prices to rise steeply.

![]() Ellie begins to reciprocate Manny's feelings afterwards. ![]() ![]() Despite this bonding moment with Manny, she distances herself from him when he suggests "saving their species". Ellie and Manny ultimately reconcile when they must co-operate to save the group when the ground cracks under their feet. After a dangerous encounter with Cretaceous and Maelstrom while crossing a pond, Sid tries to teach Diego how to swim, while Ellie realizes that she is a mammoth. Manny begins to fall in love with her, but denies his feelings at first because he feels like he is replacing his deceased wife and child. Sid invites them to join their journey to the boat, and Ellie accepts. On their journey to the boat, the trio meet Ellie, a mammoth who believes she is an opossum, and Crash and Eddie, two mischievous opossums whom Ellie believes to be her brothers. Meanwhile, Cretaceous, a Cymbospondylus and Maelstrom, a Pliosauroidea-both frozen since the Mesozoic era-escape due to melting ice and seek to eat all the mammals they can during the flood. Manny is also struggling with the thought of possibly being the last mammoth alive and Diego is revealed to suffer from severe aquaphobia due to his inability to swim. A chunk of ice breaks off from the top of the dam, initiating their immediate evacuation. A vulture tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the valley that may save them, but they must reach it in three days. The trio discovers that the ice wall is actually a dam that is barely holding a reservoir that could flood the valley if it fails. Manny, Sid, and Diego live in a valley surrounded by a high ice wall on all sides. Three more sequels were released: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs in 2009, Ice Age: Continental Drift in 2012, and Ice Age: Collision Course in 2016. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it grossed $667 million worldwide, marking it the third highest-grossing film of 2006 and the highest-grossing animated film of 2006. The film premiered in Belgium on March 1, 2006, and in the United States on March 31. In the film, Manny, Sid, and Diego attempt to escape an impending flood, during which Manny finds love. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Chris Wedge reprise their roles from the first Ice Age film, with newcomers Seann William Scott, Josh Peck, and Queen Latifah joining the cast. The film was directed by Carlos Saldanha from a screenplay written by Peter Gaulke, Gerry Swallow, and Jim Hecht, and a story by Gaulke and Swallow. It is the sequel to Ice Age (2002) and the second installment in the Ice Age film series. Ice Age: The Meltdown is a 2006 American computer-animated adventure comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. This cookie is set by GDPR Cookie Consent plugin.

That’s right, Jensen, AKA Hot Karl, once opened for Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate at the age of 12.ĭid this man…. Beloved breakfast cereal with a jingle, a former child star with an iron stomach, SHRAMP, corporate ineptitude, a CSI-style investigation, and, ironically, Ice-T. Meanwhile, Jensen says folks at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County are setting him up with a company pledging to pay for DNA testing on the alleged shrimp tails. He’s on edge because he says he ate one bowl before noticing the strange objects … but so far, he says he’s showing no ill effects. Sending it cross country will take a little more time, so Jensen’s gonna have to wait longer than he hoped to solve the mystery. However, he says a NJ-based company is stepping up to test the substance … which he fears might be rat poop. trying a diagnostics lab, a hospital and an emergency room to test the black objects from his box of CTC. Jensen tells us he struck out 3 times Tuesday in L.A. The guy who says he found shrimp tails and other disturbing objects in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch is going coast-to-coast to answer the burning question - what the hell did he eat? It’s a deadly allergy to many (and non-Kosher) and that didn’t seem to matter beyond offering me a new box. Not to investigate the issue or look into it. My point is – their initial reaction to shellfish being in the bag was to tell me it was sugar. He decided to get the shrimp and bits tested at a DNA lab. Unsatisfied with the prospect of sending his evidence into a GM’s black hole, Jensen took matters into his own hands. This is the first I’ve heard from them since yesterday (when they said they were sending an envelope) and my new response. I plan on continuing full transparency for those concerned about their products. Jensen apparently felt that GM wasn’t doing the right thing by asking him to send the offensive materials back. This one seems taped up (?) and also appears to include…(I don’t even want to say it)…dental floss. UPDATE: my wife has a stronger stomach than me and checked the OTHER bag in the family pack. I would’ve dropped it /WOt9j2V0sgĪlso, many of the squares have black marks, and some are dyed red? And yes, I ate a bowl before noticing all this. Also, it’s only “viral” because of their insane response. Something regarding the stupid “Did he fake this?” take: there are black items COOKED ONTO the squares and tons of it at the bottom of the bag, in addition to shrimp tails and other SUGAR COATED junk. ![]() Please be nice with your guesses l, because I will walk into traffic if I ate what I think it is… /Zs7ZDygTxA Stuff like this is all at the bottom of the bag, and what appears to be cooked ONTO some squares. Perturbed by CTC’s response and by what else he may have ingested (he had already eaten a bowl before he discovered the shrimp), Jensen kept digging. I wasn’t all that mad until you now tried to gaslight me? /rSLE60pvoy Ok, we’ll after further investigation with my eyes, these are cinnamon coated SHRIMP TAILS, you weirdos. ![]() Instead, they said, nope, couldn’t be us. Now at this point, General Mills, the company that produces CTC, could have nipped this in the bud by being rightfully appalled by what could very well have led to a wrongful death lawsuit and taken immediate action. Ummmm – why are there shrimp tails in my cereal? (This is not a bit) /tTjiAdrnVp It ends with a twist ending that we probably should have all seen coming. Here’s the post that set off a journey of discovery, repulsion, and a shout-out from Chance The Rapper. That and maybe, perhaps, boosting sales of his 2016 memoir Kanye West Owes Me $300. But right now, trying to get to the bottom of how the shrimp tails (and other ooky ephemera) ended up in his CTC seems to be his primary occupation. And that he used to be a kid battle rapper who was once signed to a million-dollar contract with Interscope Records. And upon sharing his horrifying discovery with the world, the world discovered him and also learned that he’s married to Danielle Fishel, Topanga from Boy Meets World. But this time it’s a man named Jensen Karp who claims he found shrimp tails in a box of CTC that he bought at a Costco. ![]() This exact scenario or one very similar (maybe it’s a cockroach in a box of Lucky Charms and the girl was on Blossom or something, but you get my point) has probably happened countless times before. Boy finds shrimp tails in a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Boy meets girl who was on a show called Boy Meets World. It’s a tale as old as time - Boy meets world. ![]() Create just that kind of root environment in your garden by mixing 3 inches of aged compost-enriched Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® All Purpose In-Ground Soil in with the top 6 inches of the existing soil. Though citronella plants are tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soils, moderately rich, moist soil will produce the best growth. For best results, choose young Bonnie Plants® citronella (also called mosquito plants), which are strong and vigorous. Select a location with a little afternoon shade, and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Plant in spring after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, about the same time you plant tomatoes. ![]() Once mature, prune citronella as necessary and enjoy the fragrant leaves and flowers in summer arrangements.For abundant blooms, feed regularly with a water-soluble plant food.Check soil moisture every few days and water when the top inch becomes dry.Improve your native soil by mixing in several inches of aged compost or other rich organic matter.Space citronella 18 to 24 inches apart in an area that receives partial shade and has fertile, well-drained soil.A good rule of thumb is to plant the same time you plant tomatoes. Plant citronella in spring once all chances of frost have passed and the soil is warm.Growing upright to 2 to 3 feet in height, they can be used as a summer border or one of several contrasting textures in a garden composition or a large mixed container. (The plant itself does not act as a deterrent to the pests.) Plants owe their medium green texture to the lacy leaves. When leaves are crushed and the oil rubbed on the skin, it smells wonderful and may help naturally discourage mosquitoes.

But you will not be told what life is really like in the group, or what they really believe. Everyone in the cult always appears to be happy and enthusiastic, mainly because they have been told to act happy and will get in trouble if they don’t. They will tell you how happy you will be in their group. You will hear how they help the poor, support each other in community, emphasize peace or save the environment. The mission of the cult may look similar to a church. A cult will also have a slick well-rehearsed public relations front which hides what the group is really like. A cult needs to hide the truth from you until they think you are ready to accept it. Why? Because if people knew their true practices and beliefs beforehand, then they would not join. ![]() If a pastor is so unapproachable and not open to constructive concerns or criticisms, then his or her heart is not in the right place.Ī cult needs to recruit and operate using deception. Also, if there’s a problem in the church, your pastor should be approachable. If your pastor or leader is unwilling to acknowledge or admit their mistakes or doesn’t accept an obvious mistake, that should be a major red flag. A pastor’s responsibility isn’t to interpret the Bible their job is to preach the Gospel. No one is always right, including pastors. Whenever you bring up a legitimate, biblical issue to leadership, they find a way to turn it around on you and point out that you are not only wounded, but also have no right to question them. If you disagree with church leadership, then you are told it is your issue because you have to learn to submit to imperfect authority. There is no tolerance for questions or critical inquiry. If the pastor or leader is always making himself or herself right, this may be a sign of cult involvement. Here are five warning signs of a cult masked as a church. Once you understand how cults work, you will be better able to identify them, avoid recruiter and protect family and friends. They will use these secrets and techniques to trick and control you and it’s imperative that you are able to spot them. To spot a cult you need to know how they work and you need to understand the techniques they use. Cults have millions of members around the world who once thought they were immune and still don’t know they’re even in a cult because they’ve masqueraded so well. Beware of thinking that you are immune from cult involvement. Many people think that they can’t be deceived by a cult, but that’s far from the case. Cults use sophisticated mind control and recruitment techniques that have been refined over time. They are after your obedience, your time and your money. ![]() Cult leaders are desperate to trick you into joining. Cults may appear wonderful on the outside but on the inside are very manipulating. ![]() The best-by date is stamped on the bottom of each can. ![]() It is convenient to keep on hand since it has a long shelf life. ![]() In mythology, it was the drink of the Olympus gods and was drained from their food, which was ambrosia.Įven though I occasionally see someone drinking it straight from the container, I like to use it to add flavor and more importantly moisture to recipes. In this case, nectar is simply pureed fruit pulp that is diluted with water. Ever since then, it is always in my pantry, and it never languishes.Īlthough we think of nectar from flower sources that bees utilize to make honey, this is a different type of nectar. Somehow I noticed it languishing there on the bottom shelf in the juice aisle of the supermarket and decided to give it a try. However, remember to keep your options open to things like honey or maple syrup, which are all fabulous when used in smoothie and blended drinks.I’m not sure when I became such an avid fan of canned fruit nectar, but it has been at least a decade. There are some fruits to which you’d really like to add some sweetener to, such as strawberries or rapberries. You can do the same with apricots or peaches, or really any fruit you enjoy. This is what the pear nectar looks like so delicious! This must be enjoyed immediately, as the drink will get thick and turn brown if left for some time, which won’t be very appealing! No need to add any sugar, as pears are sweet. Just place the pears and ice in a blender and blend. This pear nectar contains sugar, glucose-fructose syrup and other added ingredients! What a shame, when all that is really necessary is some tasty fruit, the way it used to be made. Like everything else, so many things change, and often not for the better. It was made in Italy, and I bought it thinking it would taste like my Zia Maria’s, however, I didn’t read the ingredients until I arrived home. I was in an Italian grocery store last week and I spied this little bottle of “succo di frutta” made from pear, and it reminded me of when I was very young. Each one was better than another, and I never could decide which was my favorite, because they all tasted like nectar from heaven! She used to make peach, apricot and pear, and to this day, I can remember exactly how they taste. One of my best memories is of Zia (Aunt) Maria going under my nonni’s (grandparents’) exterior stairs where there was a little storage cupboard, and pulling out tiny homemade bottles of “succo di frutta” (“fruit juice” but it means fruit puree) for my brothers and I to drink on a hot day.Īnother no-added-sugar smoothie with raspberry, nectarine and fig. It was so wonderful for me for so many different reasons: the weather was fabulous compared to Scotland I was allowed to run around the village unsupervised we would go to the beach, and I could actually go into the water (not like the lochs in Scotland, which were always freezing!) and of course, the food was incredible! When I was a little girl, my parents used to drive our family to Italy in the summer to visit my maternal grandparents, and many of our relatives.Īs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
