EurActiv Germany reports. An extensive investigation by the environmental organisation Greenpeace of apples in European supermarkets found no evidence that pesticide thresholds had been exceeded, but that 60% of German apples contain traces of pesticide-cocktails, comprising two to eight separate ingredients. In all 126 samples from 11 different countries, all the values collated were below the maximum limit. Murchison Falls National Park Murchison Falls National Park lies at the northern end of the Albertine Rift Valley, where the sweeping Bunyoro escarpment tumbles into vast, palm-dotted savanna. First gazetted as a game reserve in 1926, it is Uganda's largest and oldest conservation area, hosting 76 species of mammals and 451 birds. The park is bisected by the Victoria Nile, which plunges 45m over the remnant rift valley wall, creating the dramatic Murchison Falls, the centerpiece of the park and the final event in an 80km stretch of rapids.

GerES IV pilot study: assessment of the exposure of German children to organophosphorus and pyrethroid pesticides. Organophosphorus pesticides and pyrethroids are widely used in German agriculture and residential settings. Their occurrence in human biological samples can be used as an indicator for the exposure of children to these compounds. Using multivariate evaluation the routes of exposure can be identified. In the pilot study of GerES IV, metabolites of pyrethroids and organophosporus pesticides were analysed in urine of children aged 2–17 years ( and 363). The 95th percentiles for the metabolites of the pyrethroids in urine were: cis-DCCA 0.74 μg/l, trans-DCCA 1.7 μg/l, DBCA 0.52 μg/l, F-PBA<0.1 μg/l, and 3-PBA 2.4 μg/l. 3-PBA was detected in 90% of the samples.
Bisate Lodge, Republic of Rwanda Bisate Lodge is located in the natural amphitheatre of an eroded volcanic cone – the word bisate means ‘pieces’ in Kinyarwanda, describing how the cone was once whole but worn away by natural erosion. The area has dramatic views of the peaks of the volcanoes Bisoke, Karisimbi and Mikeno rearing up through the Afro-alpine forests of nearby Volcanoes National Park. Six sumptuous en-suite rooms maximise comfort, warmth and views while retaining environmental principles and reflecting the culture of surrounding rural Rwanda. Bisate is within easy driving distance of Park Headquarters, from where gorilla treks depart daily.

how-does-isis-fund-its-reign-terror-282607 The Islamic State’s staggering successes come at a cost. After all, it’s not cheap to wage war and manage territorial conquests whose population is now roughly the size of Austria’s. So how can ISIS, cut off from the rest of the world by financial and trade sanctions, and under daily aerial and land bombardment by some of the richest countries in the world, afford to maintain a well-armed military and pay other bills? Interviews with Iraqi, Kurdish, European, Syrian and American government officials, analysts and intelligence agents sketch a portrait of ISIS’s robust, sprawling, and efficient financial operation. The terrorist group relies on a relatively complex system to manage its far-reaching networks.
