There are numeros consequences due to illegal activities in the foresty sector.

Revenues lost
by governments casued by illegal logging result in decrease of their ability to invest in the forestry
sector. This han an effect on poverty levels, primarily because of the revenue lost by goverment.
As result, reduces their financial capability as well as the programs that could be implemented to
help the poor.
Moreover, poor people are not in a postion to influence political bodies. This keeps them from
accesing the forest resource. Finally the resources’s ;ow cost contributes to an increase in waste
and provides very little incentive to buy timber harvested from forests managed in a sustainble
manner. Inadequate forests law enforcement and governance in other countries can also threaten
sustainble forests management.
As for direct negative consequences of illegal logging on the wood products industry, their
effect is to simultaneously increase harvesting and increase the availability of timber, thus lowering
the price for producers. The price decrease suffered by producers can lead to unfair competition,
thus reducing the profitability of legal companies. Illegal loging is a disincentive to sustainable
forests management. The illegal timber trade threatens not only the visibility of lrgal trade, but also
its reputation.
Despite the negative impacts, some stakeholders might benefit from illegal forest activities,
such as consumers who could benefit from lower process and national industries that could
increase their competitiveness by having access to lower timber prices
Other more practice solutions are being put forward to reduce illegal loging and trade. Some if
those solutions relate more to timber trade, there is no doubt that forest certification is seen, for
some as tool; among many others, that enables control over the illegal wood trade., especially
when it comes to the cain of custody. Also, there are other methods presently used or put forward
to help combat illegal loging and illegal trade. They inculde log tracking systems, legality license-
based verification system such as labeling, privat and public procurement policies, international
coorporatiion and coordination in trade statistic, information exchanghe on illegal trade, an the
study of possible trade-related measures.

A forgotten issue in urbanism is land use during the night time, with problems such as noise
and dirt, could be improved with information form Twitter. At least this is what Enrique and Vanessa
Frias-Martinez believe, computer science researchers at Telefonica Research and the University
of Marryland (USA) respectively, who have suggested using geolocalized tweets for urban
planning and land use.
Enrique Frias-Martinez explained that geolocalized tweets can be very use ful source of
information for planing since it is an activity carried out by a large number of people who provide
information on where they are at aspecific time what they are doing. The researcher points out that
thanks to increased use of smartphones, social networks like Twitter and Facebook have made it
possible to access and produce information ubiquitously.
These networks generate tags with the event’s geolocation. The new technique “automatically
determines land use in urban areas by grouping together geographical regions with similiar
patterns of Twitter activity”, says the researcher. Using aggregate activity of tweets, the Frisa-
Martinez siblings have studied land use in Manhattan, Madrid, and London. In the first two cases
they identified four uses; residential, bussines, day time leisure (mainly parks and touris areas)
and nightlife areas. The study has determainded that, in Madrid, night-time tweet activity is
concentrated on weekends and in Manhattan, on weekdays. On the other land, London is
chracterized by its tweeting activity in daytime leisure areas.

Most of us heard the good advice that we need to eat less sugar – and rightly so. However,
despite the numeros warnings by health authorities of the ill effects of sugar, the majority of the
population is still consuming sugar on a daily basis in some from or other.
We do not have to conusme white, refind sugar to be consuming sugar. Sugar includes
glocuse, fructose (as in fruit sugar), lactose (as in milk), sucrose (as in table sugar), maltose or
malts (as in rice malt and honey), jam (contains concentrated juice, which is high in fruit sugar),
maple syrup, corn syrup, palm sugar (traditionally used in macrobiotic cooking), and the very
deceiving organic brown sugar, which is not alot that different from white sugar. Even alcohol is a
sugar. All of these sugars are problematic in many different ways.
The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch. With
146 proven reasons why sugar is bad for us, is there perhaps one single reason as to why we
might need it? The only interesting thing about sugar is that it tastes good and make us temporarily
feel good. This is an area exploring. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, a 5.000 years old
wisdom of self-contained knowledge of healing, we all need sweetness in our life. We need six
tastes: sweet, sour, slaty, astringent, bitter, and pungent to stimulate the taste buds on our tounge
at main meals, in order to experience satiety.
Many people really try hard to avoid sugar, and do not sweeten their tea or coffe, yet they crave
sugar in some other from, such as chocolates, cakes, ice cream or even fruit – dates and figs.
Dates are 99% sugar, in the from of fructose. When a person is in metabolic balance, they do noy
crave sugar. If they do, it is a sign of metabolic imbalance and it can be corrected without having
to consume sugar.
