Advent 2024 Day 06 is a delight. Some said it was a collaboration that would never happen. Some said it's a collaboration that shouldn't happen. But Omnipollo and Närke Kulturebryggeri collaborated on a version of the Närke Kaggen series. Tårt-Kaggen is a double imperial porter with heather honey, bourbon barrels with raw and toasted coconut, Madagascan vanilla steeped in buffalo trace and heaven hill bourbon for 3 years plus freshly cut volcanic vanilla. Omnipollo doesn't hold back when they make a beer. They definitely kicked this up a notch. #beer #drinks #craftbeer #imperialporter #porter #omnipollo #advent2024 #adventcalendar

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.”~Gloria Steinem, journalist and activist “…pride can grow as well upon our virtues as our vices…. For you can have no greater sign of a more confirmed pride than when you think that you are humble enough.”~William Law (1686-1761), English clergyman in A Serious Call “On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom.”~Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), French philosopher “With great power comes great responsibility.”~Ben's advice to his nephew Peter Parker (aka Spiderman) “I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they did no wrong. If there is any presumption it is the other way against holders of power, increasing as the power increases…. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely…. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.”~Lord Acton (1834-1902) in a letter to Bishop Creighton (1843-1901) in 1887 “A canoe does not know who the leader is – when it turns over everyone gets wet.”~Madagascan proverb “…Jesus our Savior is described as Jehovah God. He is spoken of as being clothed with irresistible power: ‘See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him;' but, as if to soften a glory that is far too bright for the weak eyes of the trembling, the prophet introduces the delightful words of the text: ‘He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.' Here is divinity; not Jehovah the Man of War, but Jehovah the Shepherd of Israel…. It is the sign of a noble character that it can be majestic as a lion in the midst of the encounter, and roar like a young lion on the scene of conflict, and yet it has a dove's eye and a maiden's heart. Such is our Lord Jesus Christ; he is the conquering Captain of salvation, but he is meek and lowly of heart.”~C.H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) in his sermon “The Tenderness of Jesus” SERMON PASSAGEProverbs 4 (ESV)Proverbs 41 Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight,2 for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching.3 When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,4 he taught me and said to me,“Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live.5 Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.6 Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.8 Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.9 She will place on your head a graceful garland;  she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” Proverbs 1215 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,   but a wise man listens to advice. Proverbs 1520 A wise son makes a glad father,   but a foolish man despises his mother. Proverbs 1912 A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion,   but his favor is like dew on the grass. Proverbs 2421 My son, fear the Lord and the king,  and do not join with those who do otherwise,22 for disaster will arise suddenly from them, and  who knows the ruin that will come from them both?Proverbs 256  Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence   or stand in the place of the great,7  for it is better to be told, “Come up here,”   than to be put lower in the presence of a noble….15 With patience a ruler may be persuaded,   and a soft tongue will break a bone. Proverbs 2812 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory,   but when the wicked rise, people hide themselves…26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool,   but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered….28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,   but when they perish, the righteous increase. Proverbs 292 When the righteous increase, the people rejoice,  but when the wicked rule, the people groan….23 One's pride will bring him low,   but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. Romans 13 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 1 Peter 313 Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. 17 Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Evion Group NL (ASX:EVG, OTC:EVIGF) managing director David Round joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss its strategy to obtain mining permits for the Maniry Graphite Project in Madagascar and plans to secure European Union funding under the Critical Raw Materials Act. Madagascar's new mining code, adopted in late 2023, facilitates the granting of development and production licences for graphite projects. The Madagascan Ministry of Mines has instructed the Bureau du Cadastre Minier (BCMM) to start issuing or upgrading permits for mining operations. The company has been invited to apply for EU project development funding, recognising graphite as essential for the energy transition. Round said Madagascar's new mining code and recent government actions, supported by the World Bank, are positive steps for unlocking the country's critical mineral resources. Evion is working to secure the necessary permits and has noted strong local support for the Maniry project. The government began issuing mining permits on August 1, 2023, aided by World Bank investment. Several senior Madagascan government officials will visit Perth in September 2023 to attend the Africa Down Under Conference and participate in meetings concerning the growing importance of graphite. #ProactiveInvestors #EvionGroup #ASX #MadagascarMining, #GraphiteProject, #ManiryGraphite, #CriticalMinerals, #EUFunding, #MiningPermits, #EnergyTransition, #MadagascanGovernment, #WorldBankSupport, #CriticalRawMaterialsAct, #MiningCode2023, #AfricaDownUnder, #PerthConference, #LocalSupport, #GraphiteSupply, #MiningIndustry, #ResourceDevelopment, #SustainableMining, #EconomicGrowth#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LSE:TGR, OTCQX:TGRHF) joint managing director Puruvi Poddar joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of an exploration programme at the company's flake graphite projects in Madagascar. The programme, differing from prior approaches, involved over 5,000 diamond core drill cores and more than 25,000 auger drills. SRK Consulting has visited the site to compile data for an updated Competent Persons Report (CPR), marking continuous exploration efforts over the last three years. Poddar also touched on the global graphite market, highlighting the restrictions on graphite exports from China. These restrictions have intensified demand for graphite worldwide, underscoring its importance as a critical material. She said Tirupati Graphite is uniquely positioned as one of the few significant graphite producers outside China, with operations in Mozambique and Madagascar. This strategic position is poised to benefit from the growing demand for graphite, especially from the battery sector, with anticipated increases in graphite prices and demand. Despite challenges, including a working capital gap partly due to delayed funds from the Madagascan government, the company remains optimistic about its ability to meet future demand and achieve its immediate goal of becoming EBITDA positive. Poddar said Tirupati Graphite's capacity to produce 1,500 to 1,600 tonnes of graphite per month and established market presence underscore its potential in the rapidly evolving graphite market. #TirupatiGraphite #GraphiteMining #MadagascarGraphite #GraphiteDemand #BatteryMaterials #CriticalMaterials #MiningExploration #SRKConsulting #GraphiteExports #EBITDAGoals #ProactiveInvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The octopus is prized as the most intelligent of all marine species – immortalised in stories, poems and songs worldwide. In Madagascar it is also a vital source of income. Hazel Healy takes a journey into a pioneering Madagascan closure system which is enabling one particular species of octopus to flourish and protecting incomes for the most vulnerable. She learns how the system was first developed and how it is inspiring other coastal communities in Kenya and Indonesia. Hazel also learns how the success of the system has sparked greater support for ambitious marine management efforts more widely, including the creation of permanent marine reserves in Madagascar.

Since the beginnings of independence, a number of African nations have been plagued by repeated coup d'états. Within the African Union (AU), there has been a concerted effort to break this cycle through the official adoption of an 'anti-coup norm', by which the AU is mandated to suspend a member state and restore constitutional order following a coup. Supporters of this stance see it as strengthening democracy in Africa, while critics argue that it has served to prop up existing regimes. But there has been little analysis of what the AU's attempts to 'restore constitutional order' have meant for individual African states. In Undoing Coups: The African Union and Post-coup Intervention in Madagascar (Zed Books, 2020), Dr. Antonia Witt looks at the legacy of the AU's intervention in Madagascar following the 2009 'Malagasy crisis', one of the increasingly relevant yet under-researched cases of non-Western intervention in Africa. Dr. Witt looks at the ways in which international intervention reconfigured the political order in Madagascar, how it facilitated the power struggle within the Madagascan elite and prevented more profound political change. It also considers what the example set by the Madagascan intervention means for the wider international order in Africa and the powers attributed to African international actors such as the AU. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What's up to my adroit aye-ayes (I'd hate to piss off one of these in traffic amiright?) and spooky sloths! Welcome to the BNP and thank you for joining!  This episode is a certified humdinger and a rarefied crackerjack, and it ranges far and wide. We begin with, you already know, those zany audio tidbits. I then dive into a discussion regarding the mechanisms and inner nature of creative burnout, how inspiration works, and how to recover from demiurgic blocks. Also included in this ep is a recent Yak Fest with the inimitable Dr. Sylvie Salinger, where we chat about seed banks, saving seeds, and the fact that everyone's favorite Epstein-connected gremlin Billy Boy Gates is seizing control of the world's seed supply.  The Outro this week is a verified "Hold Onto Yer Butt" situation. For the reading I share an interview with Robert Stinnett, a naval photographer in the Pacific Theater during WW2, where he speaks about his book Days of Deceit, which provides FOIA backed evidence that FDR, the FBI, and the Office of Naval Intelligence all knew the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was coming, and allowed it to happen, in order to manufacture consent for an American entrance into the war. Yikes.   Won't you please rate, review and subscribe to the BNP wherever you listen to podcasts?Patrons: you're the specialized grub snagging middle finger of the Madagascan aye-aye.

From an industrial-scale fly factory in London to farming bugs in the Madagascan rainforest, insects are being put to work all around the world. These biological wonders are turning stuff we don't want – like food waste and even faeces – into useful protein. This is creating a greener alternative to animal feed and creating food products for humans too. We meet the people using bugs to help the planet.

The football: In the final part of our series we ask why the Premier League isn't the centre for tactical innovation in the game, and whether they'd either like to be, or comfortable with the idea they scout and poach the best minds and philosophies from elsewhere. Then we conclude by indulging the very subject of our series, and outlining why the Premier League is indeed exceptional. The food: Here's Nicky Hinchcliffe's virtual dessert to round off our three course feast. Pear, plum and apple crumble with pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds, and dusted with toasted flaked almonds. Served with lashings of Madagascan vanilla custard.

Sue and Lisa share how they came to make this podcast.  Be ready to laugh along with us as we share "What We Didn't Know We Didn't Know" about having pets in our classrooms.  Over the last 30 years, we've invited Madagascan hissing cockroaches, aquariums of fish,  and cages hamsters named after "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" characters into our classrooms.  Do we regret it? Yes, we do.

Episode CreditsHosts: Rob Bates and Victoria GomelskyEditor: Olivia BrileyProducer and engineer: Natalie ChometPlugs: jckonline.com, @jckmagazine Show Recap Introducing John FerryWith most of the Tucson gem shows cancelled,  Victoria and Rob will be bringing a little bit of the gem world to you as they introduce their guest, John Ferry, the founder and chief executive officer of Prosperity Earth. John is based in Greenwich, Conn., while his mining company is based in Madagascar. Originally working on Wall Street, John later turned his entrepreneurial spirit to Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world, which he's now visited around 65 times. Starting out with a chocolate and vanilla business, he soon turned his endeavors in Madagascar to mining. All About Giving BackJohn says creating prosperity is his No. 1 goal, hence the name of the company. And with that comes a component of giving back to the community. That's done by reinvesting in the people who work for his company and the community in which they work. But giving back also includes an environmental factor. There's a high level of interdependency between the people of Madagascar, the planet, community relations, and environmental development. What Are Demantoids?Victoria tells us that she's holding a demantoid garnet of John's and asks him to explain why it's so special. He tells us a demantoid garnet is 10,000 times rarer than a diamond. Its signature features are its fire and brilliance, which John believes make it the most beautiful of all the colored gems. Comparing Madagascan demantoids to ones from Russia, John believes his are better because of their sharp and clean crystallization. Victoria asks John about his deposit supplies in the mine, and Rob asks him about how he plans to get the word out about demantoids. Origins Of Madagascan DemantoidsRob asks John how he found out about the mine, how long it took him to get set up, and how deep it is. The mine has been around for about 10 years. John explains how he knew an Italian geologist, Dr. Federico Pezzotta, who stuck with the deposit to study it and establish the potential of the location. Right now, Prosperity Earth is only mining down about 15 to 18 meters-but it should eventually go down to around 200 to 300 meters. Madagascan demantoid is anywhere from 30 to 50% the cost of Russian demantoid. John says he wants to democratize demantoid, making it accessible to designers. The Impact Of MiningBeyond the mining level, Prosperity Earth has a 10-plus person gem-cutting team that does precision faceting. The gem-cutting process is responsible for job creation, making Madagascar not just the origin of the rough gem crystal, but also where the value addition takes place. Rob plays devil's advocate and asks if mining can really have a positive impact on local economies. John says yes. But he also differentiates between various types of mining operations. Colored stone mining is a small-scale business, which he says works to give back to the community. A Little More About MadagascarRob asks about Madagascar as a developing country, and John explains how per capita GDP works. Victoria then asks where the mine actually is, and we learn that it's in northern Madagascar, across from the famous tourist island of Nosy Be. While John doesn't speak the local language, because it has over 10 dialects, he's been able to pick up some phrases and sentiments. John says it takes him 24 hours door-to-door to travel there. In the U.S., Prosperity Earth is focused on wholesale sales and marketing of demantoids-and he says the company will be present at upcoming trade shows.  

We made it through January! Yes there's still a pandemic (scream) but Spring and vaccines are coming, and there's lots to look forward to. Like this fantastic episode! I had a great time catching up with my friend Dr Sara Hermann: we chatted about her path into academia, and the research on trophic interactions and predator prey dynamics going on in her lab. This episode's Paper in Focus is from Dr Bako Rasolofoniaina, who joined to tell me about neophobia and social learning in a Madagascan mongoose species (as well as some fun field experiences: paper link below). Sara and I were joined by Dr Murielle Ålund and Dr Luci Kirkpatrick to talk about the joys and challenges of starting a family as an early career researcher - lots of great advice here for people who are considering doing just that, and for people who want to better support their colleagues.Hosted, as always, by me, Kirsty MacLeod.

Does Yuri have what it takes to skate himself into the aniverse? It seems this week's contender is as different to our recent episodes as Sam could possibly find and boy does it make for a great podcast! Our two hosts explore new realms of pleasure as they uncover the mysteries of Yuri's milk, the clandestine plots of the Madagascan penguins and the fantasy of Victor's very own brand of sketchy etchy. Does this slice of life anime break through the surface and achieve victory in this episode of Gateway to the Aniverse?

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support The average UK citizen produces 8.45 metric tonnes of CO2 (tCO2e) per year. The average globally is 4.8. In the next ten years – and in order to prevent a 1.5 degrees of global warming – we need to reduce our individual carbon footprints by as much as 65%. These findings come from a report titled 1.5 Degree Lifestyles which states that worldwide, citizens and societies need to aim for per-person consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions targets of 2.5 tCO2e in 2030, 1.4 by 2040, and 0.7 by 2050 in order to keep global temperature rise to within 1.5 degrees of change. The Global Carbon Project (whose graphs are above) estimates we have less than 10 years at current levels of emission before our 1.5º budget is entirely spent. At that point, our ability to correct the see-saw and prevent the threat of climate change tipping points setting in – something which James Lovelock theorises is already happening – is seriously hampered. As Fiona Harvey writes in the Guardian, scientists are warning that beyond a rise of 2º, the impacts of climate breakdown are likely to become catastrophic and irreversible, yet current global commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement are estimated to put the world on track for 3º of heating. As the IPCC reflect in their Special Report, cutting our lifestyles to meet these targets isn't going to happen by magic nor is it going to happen overnight. We must alter our lifestyles and we must do it immediately. Pathways limiting global warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot would require rapid and far-reaching transitions […] These systems transitions are unprecedented in terms of scale […] and imply deep emissions reductions in all sectors, a wide portfolio of mitigation options and a significant upscaling of investments in those options – IPCC ‘Global Warming of 1.5º' We must accept these simple facts: Adapted from Professor Julia Steinberger's ‘10 Basic Facts for Human and Planetary Survival' diagram. The climate crisis is really bad. On our current trajectory it will become much worse. We can still prevent it from worsening. This will require rapid, far-reaching changes. This change is compulsory for human survival. The systems we operate in are responsible for this crisis. Maintaining the current trajectory is in the interest of most of these systems. Therefore, we should not expect these systems to change themselves. People built these systems. It is people who must change these systems. Survival depends on us changing these systems. To quote American architect and futurist Buckminster Fuller: You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. To cut down his carbon footprint in line with the targets that 1.5 Degree Lifestyles espouses, Lloyd Alter of Treehugger is trying to live what he calls a 2.5-tonne lifestyle. Meanwhile, British activist Rosalind Readhead is attempting to live a 1-tonne lifestyle and has been doing so since September 2019 using Professor Mike Berners-Lee's ‘How Bad Are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything' as a guide. Rosalind says her ‘rapid, imperfect prototype' aims to ‘give life to what net zero carbon means from a personal perspective [and to] add human flesh to an abstract and remote number.' At its core, the climate crisis is a carbon crisis. There is too much carbon in the air and to fix the crisis we must commit to removing some. Planting trees to combat emissions is tantamount to carbon offsetting and whilst I respect that carbon offsets alone cannot solve the problem of global warming – and while there have undoubtedly been abuses in the way offsets have been marketed in the past – I do not feel this invalidates their use in relation to emissions which people are unable to reduce directly. That said, forestation projects are not certified carbon offsets. The carbon emissions they will sequester will happen in the future, with the vast majority of carbon being captured after 40 years. It is plainly obvious we should try and avoid as many emissions as possible today, then seek to offset the rest. I'm calling emissions I cannot avoid ‘circumstantial emissions'; they are emissions that are a consequence (of commuting, of living a modern and connected life) rather than a choice (going on jet-set holidays, buying clothes I do not need). I have calculated my own carbon footprint in a similar way to Rosalind, using Professor Mike Berners-Lee's ‘How Bad Are Bananas?: The Carbon Footprint of Everything' as a guide, by assuming worse case scenarios. My footprint turns out to be 4 tonnes of CO2e per annum. Dave Erasmus, modern day woodsman and leader of both an on- and off-grid lifestyle, has crunched the numbers and reveals that a Pinus Sylverstris (Scots Pine), which is classified as a slow growing conifer, will sequester, at conservative estimates, 355kg of CO2e over a 60 year period. If I've understood his numbers correctly, by year 60 and at its peak, the tree will sequester a kilogram of CO2e once every seven days. This equates to an average of 5kg CO2e per year over a sixty year period. A government forestry report states that trees in Kielder Forest absorb 2kg of CO2 per year on average whilst Madagascan charity Eden Reforestation Projects reckons that a mangrove tree will sequester over 308kg of CO2 from the atmosphere over the growth life of the tree, averaging 12.3kg per tree per annum. The success of tree planting as a carbon offsetting measure depends on three key factors: Commit to planting suitable trees in a suitable environments. Commit to taking care of them over their lifetimes. Commit to not burning them after their lifetimes. Burning the tree would release the carbon stored within it back into the atmosphere; a sixty-year lesson in futility. Scientists in Zurich have theorised that covering an area the size of the United States of America could be the most effective climate change solution to date. It would represent a greater than 25% increase in forested area, including more than 200 gigatonnes of additional carbon sequestered at maturity, capturing around two-thirds of carbon emissions released by humans since the Industrial Revolution. That is where this talk of ‘planting a trillion trees' that we heard so much of at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2020 comes from. Using Dave's calculations and basing all planting on our three tree rules, sequestering my 4 tonnes of CO2e over a 60-year period would require just 12 trees. Assuming I have been emitting 4 tonnes of CO2e per year for my 25 years so far and will continue to so until I reach the UK life expectancy of 80 I would need to plant one thousand trees. 4 tonnes in kilograms is 4,000. 4,000 x 80 years = 320,000kg. 320,000kg divided by 308kg (the amount sequestered per mangrove plant) = 1,038 trees. 320,000kg divided by 355kg (the amount sequestered per Scots Pine) = 901 trees I joined Bristol-based Offset Earth (now known as Ecologi) almost one year ago because I knew that tree planting was one of the ways forward. Buying the 1,038 mangrove trees via Ecologi that I would need to offset a 4-tonne lifestyle for 80 years would cost £123. Remembering that the average UK citizen produces 8.45 tCO2e per year, it would cost £325 to plant the 2,759 trees required. According to the World Bank, 1.236 billion people live in so-called ‘high income economies'; the current Gross National Income per capita of this set of people is $45,307. Assuming the average person works from 18 to the current UK retirement age, the £325 it would cost to offset their entire lifetime of emissions would equate to £0.56 pence per monthly paycheque. Even if we were to opt with costlier tree planting schemes like One Tree Planted where one tree costs one US dollar, planting 2,759 trees would cost less than a single months salary in a year, a cost that is plainly affordable when spread over a working career. You may think this is heading the direction of arguing for a so-called flat-rate ‘tree tax' and although it clearly has its advantages (and I support the idea of taxes) I do not feel the solution is a tax… So what is? I've written on multiple occasions about how the best way to affect positive change is to fund it. Giving regularly not only helps protect the causes you care about but it also helps charities plan ahead and make long term investments and improvements that change the world and the lives of people on it. – Myself, in 2019 I think the best climate change solution is simply the knowledge that your entire lifetime can be carbon-neutral (and even carbon-negative) for less than you spend on a spur-of-the-moment shopping spree one stuck-at-home Black Friday. I've been writing this essay on-and-off for the past year. It has sat in various states of completion and with various different conclusions for many of those months. Writing and researching this essay opened my eyes to plainly obvious solutions and answered questions I didn't know I had about climate change. I leave you with a question of your own to answer: Knowing that tree plantation programs are well within your budget and that the solution to catastrophic climate change is simply to pull carbon from the air, an act trees do by design, is it not a civic and moral duty to plant those trees?

In this episode we're in Madagascar, one of Africa's island countries and the fourth largest island in the world. We explore the Malagasy Uprising which took place between 1947-1948. The uprising saw thousands of Malagasy people fight the French to regain ownership of their country. The French government had suspicions that the uprising wasn't just caused by Malagasy groups, but also their European rivals: Britain and America. Following the uprising, France soon regained control of the country, as they were adamant that "the future of Madagascar would be inseparably linked to France's future."

PSL fans are debating the fairness of the new date for Kaizer Chiefs' transfer ban appeal being set for September, a date after the current transfer window closes at the end of August. After being handed a 2-window ban from transfer activity over the signing of Madagascan midfielder ‘Dax' Andrianarimanana in July 2018, Amakhosi have appealed the ruling from the world football governing body's Player's Status Committee. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, their new appeal date means that they'll miss out on any activity during the current window, even if their appeal were to be successful. PSL Fans are torn as to whether or not the ruling is reasonable, especially considering the severity of Chiefs' alleged transgressions. “I believe that Kaizer Chiefs made their bed, so they should lie on it. Their management had it coming, this thing of buying players on a discount, trying to rip off teams, there's always something wrong with Chiefs buying players”, one fan told SL Radio. Taking the opposing opinion, another fan stated “I think it's not fair at all. They should just fine Chiefs maybe R2 Million. But to not sign players for two transfer windows, come one!” There has been speculation that Amakhosi are attempting to have the ban suspended but nothing has been confirmed by Chiefs or FIFA regarding this rumour.

Dick Tracy finds "The Black Pearl Of Osiris" inside the bullet in Tracy's leg! A Madagascan plans "The Silken Rope Of Death" for Tracy. Another meeting of the "Dick Tracy Secret Service Patrol." Tracy will have a surprise for members on Friday! The system cue has been deleted. Hummi Batique a member of the cult gave Dick Tracy in search of a black pearl belonging to the Egyptian cult of Osiris a ring containing a secret compartment. Batique whom Tracy had captured told him that if he found the Black pearl to conceal it in the ring. In the last episode Dick received a call from Cooper of the Ballistics bureau. They'd been examining a bullet, which the Doctor had taken from Tracy's leg. It seems that the bullet was peculiar in more ways than one. Will Tracy find the black pearl of Osiris and what has Cooper discovered about the bullet that makes it so interesting?

She is currently based at Bristol Zoo where she examines how the welfare of large-brained mammals can be enhanced through cognitively challenging activities. In this in-depth conversation, she reflects on how zoos have transformed from a victorian spectacle with “poking sticks” to educational conservations, describes how ring-tailed lemurs can adapt to habitats that differ from their Madagascan roots, and explains how technology is revealing how animals solve puzzles, including when they are playing us at our own game!

When the idea of this podcast first popped into my head, I instantly knew I wanted to interview Sitraka. We had only met once, over lunch with friends, 7 years ago. But his wisdom and compassion radiate from deep inside and had a long-lasting impact on me. In this interview, Sitraka tracks his path from an advertisement in an Madagascan newspaper to Canada, France, and the USA. Highlights include: - growing up as a single parent child in Madagascar - how Paris contributed to finding self-acceptance - breathing easier in Boston an the small challenges that prevail - finding a new spiritual home in the Episcopal Church after coming out In short, Sitraka is a professional at turning shame into empowerment.

This week on I’m Not Adam West, we learn that new and improved grapefruits, Madagascan architecture, and boiler engineers all relate to everyone’s favorite deep-sea diver and big-budget filmmaker: James Cameron!

It's back to one of our favourite Sunday afternoon pub conversations this week as we go searching for more terrible footballers for our all-time worst XI. This week, we fill the centre-back spot and there are a rogues gallery of misfits, cheats and actual criminals all jostling, badly, for the spot. Our guest is football fan, Blackburn Rovers fanatic and tremendous stand-up comic Tez Ilyas. We discover the story of the farcical Combination League - a precursor to the Football League in the 1880s which lasted less than a season, how and why the Madagascan champions lost 149-0 and who exactly was a "bastard's bastard" during the 1970s.

The people of Madagascar have fascinating stories. Did you know the first settlers came from South East Asia ?  That some of their traditions are almost 2,000 years old ? That 90% of Madagascan flora and fauna are found nowhere else on earth. Dr Karl and local guide Lala Harivelo takes us on a cultural tour of the world's 4th largest island.

Meet Samantha Kuester, the chief costume designer for “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return.” Samantha discusses her career, as well as Jonah’s "Many Loves of Hercules" toga and his many wardrobe malfunctions. Meanwhile, Captain Deana Dolphin of the “MSTie Minute" drops by to cohost with Ryan and Greg. The podcast gang discuss their original comedy horror radio play, a Halloween special parody of “War of the Worlds.” Then it’s off to celebrate the campy Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell horror classic, “Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn.” And the gang agrees that the haunting “Blade Runner 2049” is as near perfect a piece of sci-fi cinema as they’ve seen in years. Kate talks about rock musicians who are also scientists, a new species of Madagascan orchid, and the horrifying cat gadget, “Licki Brush.” In the Mini Soda Review, Deana, Ryan and Greg enthuse over Cock and Bull’s Cherry Ginger Beer. There’s a Very Adamant Stance against dog shirts that sort of fizzles out when writer Erica Rodriguez revolts mid-sketch. All this, and a General Mills Halloween play rehearsal grown horribly awkward when the Fruit Brute throws his script down and storms offstage, sobbing uncontrollably because he can’t work another minute with that stage-stealing hack Count Chocula, while a furious Frankenberry hurls profanity-laden abuse at both of them for their lack of professionalism, Boo Berry steals snacks from the dressing room, and a hungover Yummy Mummy furtively tugs on a flask of whiskey and tries to keep his shakes under control, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!

Madagascar is a BIG island off the coast of Africa – it’s the fourth largest island in the world. It’s even bigger than Great Britain and almost as big as the state of Texas. It’s home to thousands of animal species, such as the well-known lemur. Many species are not found anywhere else in the world like the fossa, the tomato frog, the sifaka (pronounced shifark) and the indri which are also part of the lemur family. In Madagascar you will find lush rainforests, beaches and coral reefs, mountainous areas, irrigated rice fields and extinct volcanoes. The “Avenue of the Baobabs,” is a dirt road lined with massive old, old trees called baobab trees. Some of the trees are 800 years old! It was the famous explorer, Marco Polo who first called the island Madagascar – by accident actually. He thought he had visited the Somali port of Mogadishu and got the name wrong – he wrote Madageiscar in his memoirs – and so the Island became Madagascar. Madagascar has gone by many names. When it became a free country in 1958 it became the Malagasy Republic, then in 1975, its people renamed it the Democratic Republic of Madagascar and then in 1993, it changed its name to the Republic of Madagascar. The busy capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. Some people use its French colonial name Tana but Antananarivo is it’s real name. The president of Madagascar has the longest surname of any president anywhere in the world. His name is Hery Rajaonarimampianina, (AIR-ee rah-zhow-nah-ree-mahm-pee-AHN) THE LANGUAGE Madagascar has two official languages, Malagasy and French. The Malagasy Language doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world. There are lots of different versions of the language – or what we call dialects so it can be a bit confusing if you are trying to learn the language. hello is  Manao ahoana (manna horna) goodbye is veloma (filorma) yes is eny (yeny) no – tsia My name is Karyn.            No anarako dia (nuw anara ku dia) Karyn. Now you try with your name in there! THE FLAG AND THE CURRENCY The flag of Madagascar has two stripes going across – red on top and green below. Then there is a white stripe which goes down the left of the flag. The flag used to be just red and white. Soon after WWII, Madagascan people fought a war to try to become independent from France but they were defeated. It was only about ten years later that France allowed them to start to become independent and their flag was chosen. The white is said to stand for purity and the red for sovereignty; the green represents the coastal regions and symbolizes hope. Madagascar has its own independence day to celebrate when they officially became independent from France’s rule over them. Their independence day is the 26th June. They celebrate with music and dancing and fireworks! There are no laws against fireworks in Madagascar – so they go wild. It’s a little scary! You can listen to the Madagascan national anthem on Wikipedia here. The currency that the people of Madagascar use is called the ariary (uh-ri-harry). For 1 US dollar you could buy almost 3000 madagascan ariary , for 1 British pound you could get about 4000 ariary and for 1 South African rand about 220 ariary. Now I’m going to tell you about a queen  from long ago in Madagascar. During the 1800s, Queen Ranavalona wanted to preserve Madagascar’s traditional beliefs and she decided to send lots of missionaries who had come to share the gospel,

On Feb. 22, 2014, the gardener at a private home in the swanky Tallahassee gated community of Golden Eagle called 911 to report that there was a body in the swimming pool. The body was that of the 38-year-old Madagascan-born Samira Frasch, a former model and singer and the 3rd wife of Dr. Adam Frasch. […]

Macrotarsomys petteri, also known as Petter's big-footed mouse,[1] is a Madagascan rodent in the genus Macrotarsomys. With a head and body length of 150 mm (5.9 in) and body mass of 105 g (3.7 oz), Macrotarsomys petteri is the largest species of its genus. The upperparts are brown, darkest in the middle of the back, and the underparts are white to yellowish. The animal has long whiskers, short forelimbs, and long hindfeet. The tail ends in a prominent tuft of long, light hairs. The skull is robust and the molars are low-crowned and cuspidate.Macrotarsomys petteri is now found only in the Mikea Forest of southwestern Madagascar, but subfossil records indicate that it used to be more widely distributed in southern Madagascar. Climatic changes and competition with introduced species may have led to the shift in its distribution. The Mikea Forest, the only place where it is still known to occur, is threatened by human development.

Lemurs and parrots accompany maths writer Alex Bellos as he explores the foundations of our ability to understand numbers. What are the fundamental numerical skills we share with other animals? What accounts for our species’ unique abilities to do calculations which other creatures cannot? Alex meets Teres the lemur as the Madagascan primate undergoes a maths test. He also tells the amazing story of Alex, the African grey parrot, and meets professor Irene Pepperberg who guided her feathered pupil to extraordinary mathematical achievements. (Photo: Lemurs.

The vomeronasal system (VNS) mediates pheromonal communication in mammals. From the vomeronasal organ, two populations of sensory neurons, expressing either Galphai2 or Galphao proteins, send projections that end in glomeruli distributed either at the rostral or caudal half of the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), respectively. Neurons at the AOB contact glomeruli of a single subpopulation. The dichotomic segregation of AOB glomeruli has been described in opossums, rodents and rabbits, while Primates and Laurasiatheres present the Galphai2-pathway only, or none at all (such as apes, some bats and aquatic species). We studied the AOB of the Madagascan lesser tenrec Echinops telfairi (Afrotheria: Afrosoricida) and found that Galphai2 and Galphao proteins are expressed in rostral and caudal glomeruli, respectively. However, the segregation of vomeronasal glomeruli at the AOB is not exclusive, as both pathways contained some glomeruli transposed into the adjoining subdomain. Moreover, some glomeruli seem to contain intermingled afferences from both pathways. Both the transposition and heterogeneity of vomeronasal afferences are features, to our knowledge, never reported before. The organization of AOB glomeruli suggests that synaptic integration might occur at the glomerular layer. Whether intrinsic AOB neurons may make synaptic contact with axon terminals of both subpopulations is an interesting possibility that would expand our understanding about the integration of vomeronasal pathways.

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the academic Professor Alison Richard. Professor Alison Richard is Cambridge University's first full-time female Vice-Chancellor. An anthropologist by training, the role of Vice-Chancellor makes her the principal academic and administrative officer of one of Britain's oldest universities, at the head of some 18,000 undergraduates and assets of more than a billion pounds. She has been in post for just over a year and, for her, it is a return to the university where she studied as an undergraduate. She accepted the post after spending 30 years in America at Yale University - the last eight there as Provost. But much of her professional life has been based not in the ivory towers of academe, but in remote jungles and foothills working as an anthropologist studying the Madagascan lemur.

Background: The dentate gyrus is well known for its mossy fiber projection to the hippocampal field 3 (CA3) and its extensive associational and commissural connections. The dentate gyrus, on the other hand, has only few projections to the CA1 and the subiculum, and none have clearly been shown to extrahippocampal target regions. Results: Using anterograde and retrograde tracer techniques in the Madagascan lesser hedgehog tenrec (Afrosoricidae, Afrotheria) it was shown in this study that the dentate hilar region gave rise to a faint, but distinct, bilateral projection to the most rostromedial portion of the olfactory tubercle, particularly its molecular layer. Unlike the CA1 and the subiculum the dentate gyrus did not project to the accumbens nucleus. A control injection into the medial septum-diagonal band complex also retrogradely labeled cells in the dentate hilus, but these neurons were found immediately adjacent to the heavily labeled CA3, while the tracer injections into the rostromedial tubercle did not reveal any labeling in CA3. Conclusion: The dentate hilar neurons projecting to the olfactory tubercle cannot be considered displaced cells of CA3 but represent true dentato-tubercular projection neurons. This projection supplements the subiculo-tubercular projection. Both terminal fields overlap among one another as well as with the fiber terminations arising in the anteromedial frontal cortex. The rostromedial olfactory tubercle might represent a distinct ventral striatal target area worth investigating in studies of the parallel processing of cortico-limbic information in tenrec as well as in cat and monkey.
