July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Write about a recent success. *Ha* Yours or someone else’s - your choice!  Success Everywhere In 2020 success is literally everywhere. An article published March 2, 2020 talks about the need for more women in the EU to be encouraged to take up jobs in the Scientific front. EQUAL-IST is an EU funded project looking at reasons why there are only a 13 per cent involvement of women in science related work. The article gives voice to the need for gender equality and the use of women's minds in fields that are open to new ideas and abilities. You can read the full article here:https://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?&artid=51905&caller=FP I found articles about how waste byproducts are being used to make chemicals, make vineyards hardy against disease, protect fish farming from disease in livestock and pollution in tanks, help buildings to be more energy efficient, blade-less alternatives to wind turbines, developing vaccines to protect livestock from disease and parasites, and so many others I could not read them all. Articles relating to the above subjects and how different teams are researching the answers to these questions are from: https://ec.europa.eu/info/index_en. These articles are specifically related to the EU and researchers involved in selected countries. If I keep looking I'm sure I will find more countries involved. Last year I read an article about a team of researchers working in Israel to solve the problem of waste. Their innovative ideas were being put into practical use in other countries as well. In the USA a group of people have built a plant that turns plastic water bottles and milk jugs into a viable house insulation. We hear about the devastation constantly but successes in these fields will hold out a helping hand to every country as 2020 and beyond works for the good of the earth and humans that live here. Maybe this isn't what you expected but when it comes to success. There is a lot out there we don't hear about on a regular basis. To all these researchers I say: ![Merit Badge in Job Well Done
