104. CSICOP Crop Circle Experiments Hess is thrown into the media spotlight when 500foot crop circles suddenly Only after media reports spread internationally did crop circles begin to http://www.csicop.org/hoaxwatch/cropcircles.html

2002 CSICOP Crop Circles Experiments Kevin Christopher CSICOP Public Relations Director August 15, 2002 "Signs," starring Mel Gibson, is Hollywood's latest attempt to cash in on the allure of the paranormal. The film, distributed by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, opened in American theaters on August 2, 2002. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who brought audiences the haunting spiritualistic thriller "The Sixth Sense" (1999), "Signs" tells the story of Pennsylvania pastor Graham Hess (Gibson), who turns to farming as a way to escape his theological doubts following the death of his wife in a car accident. Hess is thrown into the media spotlight when 500-foot crop circles suddenly begin appearing in his fields. Several months ago, Skeptical Inquirer Managing Editor Benjamin Radford, who moonlights as a film reviewer, sent a memo to CSICOP Senior Research Fellow Joe Nickell and me warning us that "Signs" would likely generate a huge interest in crop circles among the media. True to his prediction, the media have been falling over themselves to discuss this paranormal topic now that it is the centerpiece of Shyamalan's hopeful summer blockbuster. For once, surprisingly, they have proved overwhelmingly sympathetic to skeptical explanations of the crop circle phenomenon. Over the past three weeks Joe Nickell, Benjamin Radford and I have produced two experimental crop circles in Upstate New York. The first experiment was conducted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002, in Amherst, New York, in a large field of dry wild grass. The tools employed were a long piece of rope and one "stalk stomper." The stomper is a board approximately 4 feet (1.3 m) long with two holes drilled at each end. A thick piece of rope was run through the holes and knotted to make a handle. Staffer Vance Vigrass modeled the stomper on similar devices used by British circle hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley.

Land and Water Digital Media Series FAO, Land and Water Digital Media Series n°4 December 1998, ISBN 92-5-104181-4 Price: US$40. ECOCROP 1 Ecocrop 1, the crop environmental requirements database, permits the identification of plant species whose most important climate and soil requirements match the information on climate and soil entered by the user. The database is designed to facilitate the comparison of 12 to 20 different environmental requirements of crops across different groups of species or across species of different use, and it can be used in all parts of the world. The database includes arable crops, grasses, trees and other plant species with economic uses. Ecocrop 1 primarily holds information about the climate and soil requirements and uses of plant species, but it also provides a range of other information, such as a brief description of the species, common names in different languages and possible yields. It gives textual information about land use planning and about the interaction of environmental factors and the influence of these factors on plant growth. Ecocrop 1 includes a digitized climate zone map and a data entry and comments form that can be e-mailed back to FAO. It can produce output in a number of commonly used file formats. Ecocrop 1 can be employed: to identify suitable crop or tree species for a specified environment;

There is no justice in this world, if there was, all advertisers would be forced to walk in public wearing sandwich boards with the text of their adverts written in large letters and the words 'I am responsible for this' scrawled on their foreheads in marker pen. In India Coke's adverts are not so much inept as cruelly ironic. In one of them a group of women walk in the heat to a village well, they look disappointed when a stranger starts to pull up a bucket of water. Suddenly the stranger reveals himself to be a well known Bollywood star and the bucket turns out to be full of bottles of Coca Cola. Hurrah let the party begin. The irony here is that you can buy a bottle of coke in an Indian village that has no clean water. Nowhere is this more true than in Plachimada in Kerala, which I visited on a trip with Action Aid. Here Coca Cola's subsidiary company the Hindustan Coca Cola Company opened a bottling plant in 2000 and promptly dug 6 bore wells. You might have thought that some bright spark would have questioned the opening of a highly water intensive industry in a drought area but both the national and state government eagerly bought into the notion that a Coca Cola factory equates to 'development'.

FAQ PMI breakthrough offers alternative to antibiotic resistance marker genes for genetically enhanced crops Basel, 23 May 2000 - In response to consumer concerns, a novel marker gene system called PMI is being hailed as a breakthrough for plant biotechnology. Pioneered by Novartis and collaborators, the PMI system offers a novel and efficient alternative to antibiotic resistance or herbicide tolerance marker genes in many genetically enhanced crops. Novartis is currently working with PMI in several crops, in particular maize and wheat. Regulatory dossiers for the first commercial release of these crops with novel traits, which have been introduced using PMI, are expected to be submitted to regulatory authorities within 12-24 months. Novartis plans to make the technology widely available to both the biotechnology industry and the academic scientific community through simple licensing procedures. PMI has already been licensed to more than 100 advanced academic and industry research laboratories around the world that are developing more productive and healthier food crops. Novartis will provide PMI royalty-free for subsistence farmers in developing countries, through local institutes or companies, where appropriate regulations are in place to confirm user and consumer safety, and protect local environments for crops modified using PMI.
