La classe d'Entrecasteaux ou bâtiments de soutien et d'assistance outre-mer (BSAOM), nommés bâtiments multi-missions (B2M) jusqu'en janvier 2019, est une classe de patrouilleurs hauturiers, développée et produite par Kership, coentreprise créée en 2013 par Piriou (55%) et DCNS (45%). Cette classe porte le nom du navigateur français Antoine Bruny d'Entrecasteaux.

Caractéristiques

Ces patrouilleurs ont un déplacement de  lège, soit  en pleine charge. Ils disposent d'une capacité de remorquage de , d'une grue de levage et pourront embarquer vingt personnes supplémentaires. L'autonomie à la mer prévue est de trente jours.

Destination
La Direction générale de l'Armement (DGA) a commandé le 30 décembre 2013 au groupement d'entreprise Piriou la construction de trois unités de ce type et a signé avec DCNS un contrat pour leur maintien en condition opérationnelle pendant six ans. La construction d'un quatrième bâtiment, qui avait été prévu en option, a été confirmée dans les mêmes conditions en mai 2015 à la suite de l'actualisation de la Loi de programmation militaire, la commande est passé début 2017.

Ces quatre patrouilleurs hauturiers sont destinés à remplacer les BÂtiments de TRAnsport Léger (acronyme BATRAL) de la Classe Champlain, mis en service à partir de 1974. Contrairement aux BATRAL, ils n'ont pas de capacité amphibie.

Selon Chantal Péchoux, manager B2M à la DGA, leur mission sera :

Variante abandonnée
Une variante qualifiée de bâtiment multi-missions mutualisé (B3M), dérivé des B2M avec l'ajout d'une capacité brise-glace, destiné au ravitaillement des Terres australes et antarctiques françaises avait été envisagé pour remplacer deux bâtiments, le patrouilleur Albatros (désarmé depuis le 19 mai 2015) et le navire polaire L'Astrolabe. Ce projet a été finalement abandonné au profit d'un  navire de conception spécifique, désigné comme étant un « patrouilleur et navire logistique polaire » qui a repris le nom de L'Astrolabe à son entrée en service en 2017.

Variante réalisée
Un navire dérivé de la classe des B2M a été réalisé par Piriou, le Dar al Beida (2018) pour la marine marocaine.

Ahmad ibn al-Tayyib al-Sarakhsi (Arabic: أحمد بن الطيب السرخسي; died 899 CE) was a Persian traveller, historian and philosopher from the city of Sarakh. He was a pupil of al-Kindi.
Al-Sarakhsi was killed by Caliph al-Mu'tadid because, according to an anecdote preserved in Yaqut al-Hamawi's Mu'jam al-Udaba', he had urged the caliph towards apostasy. Al-Biruni reports in his Chronology that al-Sarakhsi had written books in which he denounced prophecy and ridiculed the prophets, whom he styled charlatans. However, Rosenthal has disputed the historicity of the stories that claim al-Sarakhsi was executed for heretical beliefs.

Dr. Thomas Cowan joined us on the show today to talk about his new book called Human Heart, Cosmic Heart: A Doctor's Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease. Dr. Cowan is also the author of a new book called Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness.
Dr. Cowan is also the creative force behind Dr. Cowan's Garden which we're HUGE fans of!
In this interview with Dr. Thomas Cowan we talked about vaccines and their relationship to the immune system and chronic degernative diseases.
We didn't talk about the heavy metals in vaccines, the adjuvants like mercury and aluminum and how bad they are. We didn't talk about why the entire theory of vaccines is flawed. We didn't talk about the normal topics surrounding vaccines.
Rather we talked mainly about the immune systema and how there are two "arms" of the immune system and whether or not there's a connection between diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, dementia and vaccines.
What happens to the immune system when it's NOT allowed (because of vaccines) to go through a childhood illness like mumps, chicken pox, measles and rubella?
This was a very unique angle Dr. Cowan took on the immune system, vaccines and the connection between the former two and diseases like cancer.
I hope you enjoy this show with Dr. Thomas Cowan!

Fans Slam 'Verzuz' After it Releases a Statement Seemingly Postponing Ashanti vs. Keyshia Cole Battle Again
Posted byBy Atahabih Germain | Published on January 8, 2021 CommentsComments (0)
Fans of the popular social media music event "Verzuz," led by legendary super producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, are not happy with the organization's recent announcement.
"Verzuz," which was created as a result of outdoor and gathering restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, recently announced that it would no longer be allowing artists to be in the same room during the duration of the show. What started with two musicians meeting up on Instagram Live in separate locations to play a series of their top hits quickly grew into an all-out production, equipped with a stage set up and DJs, as the event grew in popularity.

However, early Friday morning, on Jan. 8, "Verzuz" announced across its social media platforms that its previous methods of gathering would be coming to an end as the pandemic continues to rage on. "This has been an emotional week. In addition, as COVID-19 numbers continue to increase, safety is a top priority for us," the Twitter statement read. It continued, "As much as we enjoy having everyone together in the same room, to protect the artists and everyone who works with us in putting the shows together, we'll be going back to separate locations for a bit."
The statement concluded, stating, "We're excited for the next few events, and look forward to getting back to the show in the coming weeks. ASHANTI VS KEYSHIA COLE: COMING SOON."

Social media users let it be known that they were not happy and quickly took to the comments section to voice their grievances.
Fans were upset at the timing of the announcement. Ashanti and Keyshia Cole were scheduled to go head to head on Dec. 12, 2020, in the highly anticipated showdown of the 2000's R&B princesses. However, when Ashanti contracted the COVID-19 virus, the event was then pushed to Jan. 9, 2020 — just one day after the statement was released. Many admitted that they were no longer interested in the battle because of many delays.
One Instagram user commented, "Don't want it nomore & aint excited nomore y'all ruined it😒."
Another person wrote, "Out of all the Verzuz is just had to be this one! The ones that most people were excited about!" They added, "@Verzuz when the time comes and there is a POSITIVE date set.. y'all are going to have to promote the hell out of this! Both @keyshiacole & @ashanti held down the 2000's in R&B and deserve the proper promotion and setting for Verzuz! not any last-minute promotions or notices."
Meanwhile onTwitter, one user scolded the brand and accused it of greed, which they felt ultimately led to the production hiccup. "Why did versuz ever have people in the same room?" they questioned. "Versuz was invented over the pandemic and was perfectly equipped to handle COVID. Then y'all got the great idea (greedy) to put people in the same room as the pandemic got worse. Came in and Broke something that wasn't broken."
The user later followed up with another tweet that read, "What? All to show some baby shower chairs and to sell ciroc."

Another user followed up with similar views, writing, "The whole point of verzuz was to be socially distant in the first place! It was the answer to the pandemic, so for the pandemic to be the reason why this can't go on is ludicrous."

You need to see London at night, particularly the theaters. But not just the night life. London itself looks best in the dark. It's a pretty safe city, and you can walk in most places after sunset. It has a sedate and ghostly beauty. In the crepuscular kindness, you can see not just how she is, but how she once was, the layers of lives that have been lived here. Somebody with nothing better to do worked out that for every one of us living today, there are 15 ghosts. In most places you don't notice them, but in London you do. The dead and the fictional ghosts of Sherlock Holmes and Falstaff, Oliver Twist, Wendy and the Lost Boys, all the kindly, garrulous ghosts that accompany you in the night. The river runs like dark silk through the heart of the city, and the bridges dance with light. There are corners of silence in the revelry of the West End and Soho, and in the inky shadows foxes and owls patrol Hyde Park, which is still illuminated by gaslight.
– from My London, and Welcome to It by A.A. Gill. Beautiful writing.


Asked to extrapolate the type of grandparent his late mom, Princess Diana, would have been, Prince William gave a surprising answer.
"She'd be a nightmare grandmother, absolute nightmare," he quipped in the 2017 ITV and HBO documentary, Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy. Sure, the former nursery school teacher would have loved Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 3, "to bits," said the royal. (At this point Prince Louis was still nine months away from making his appearance.) But she'd be so taken with her little ones that she'd indulge their every whim, he speculated. "She'd come in probably at bath time, cause an amazing...scene, bubbles everywhere, bathwater all over the place, and then leave."
Her style certainly left a mark on her eldest heir. When Diana gave birth to her future king in 1982, her insistence on hands-on parenting was seen as revolutionary. After all, a newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II left young kids Prince Charles and Princess Anne in the care of his grandparents and household staff to embark on a six-month tour of the Commonwealth shortly after her coronation. And her decisions to let them wear jeans and baseball caps and eat McDonald's hamburgers, while not express defiance of any sort of rule, were certainly not the done thing.
Now the 36-year-old and his wife Kate Middleton, 36, are following in her trailblazing footsteps. While the pair certainly abide by many royal traditions—today, after all, 11-week-old Louis was baptized at St. James's Palace wearing a replica of the intricate lace and satin dress made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841, the same outfit his older siblings donned—they're keen to give their tiny heirs a life outside the gilded walls of Kensington Palace. "They feel it's important to make them aware of their backgrounds," a source told Us Weekly. But it's also "vital" for their kids—third, fourth and fifth in line for the British throne, respectively—"to have as much normalcy in their lives as possible."
So far, they feel they've struck just the right balance. As William told BBC News in 2016, "As far as we're concerned, within our family unit, we are a normal family. I love my children the same way any father does."
Much of this modern way of thinking and lack of hired help has been credited to the so-called "Middletonization" of the royal family, what with William's bride being a commoner who experienced a relatively modest upbringing. But the seed was planted well before the University of St. Andrews grads ever crossed paths.
It was Diana who declared, "I want to bring them up with security. I hug my children to death and get into bed with them at night. I always feed them love and affection; it's so important." And she's largely thought to be the first woman in the royal family to nurse, ABC News royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter said: "Of course, that's hard for us to know for certain, but Queen Victoria was adamant that she found breastfeeding disgusting. She thought babies were ugly, and she didn't really enjoy any part of being pregnant, yet she had nine children."
Diana, meanwhile couldn't get enough of her newborn boys. At William's first press conference she admitted, "I find I can't stop playing with him."
So when it came time for an official tour, this one to Australia and New Zealand, she insisted 9-month-old William come along. "And [people] were like, 'Breaking royal precedent,'" Daisy Goodwin, author of My Last Duchess told ABC News. "But it was brilliant, because...we all really warmed to her. Because no woman wants to leave her baby, and that was what made Diana so lovable—that she always absolutely adored her children."
William and Kate followed suit, toting 8-month-old George Down Under for their 19-day visit in 2014. And while George and his new sister Charlotte didn't tag along for a weeklong trip to India in 2016, "Because George is too naughty," Kate told fans, "he would be running all over the place," they were on hand for a 2016 trip to Canada and a stopover in Germany and Poland last year.
Both trips produced some utterly relatable photographs of Kate trying to soothe or scold both of her children, each snapshot serving to highlight the fact that despite living in a literal palace, when it comes down to it, the duchess is a regular mom. Rather than rely on a team of household helpers, William and Kate have a team of one: longtime nanny Maria Borrallo. "They're not having them raised by a coterie of nannies behind palace walls," Christopher Andersen, the author of the new book Game of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate, and the Throne, told Good Housekeeping. "Charles had no real exposure as a small child to the world outside the royal circle. She does have a nanny, but really Kate is a hands-on mom."
Having spent their earliest years two-and-a-half hours from the London spotlight in the sleepy Norfolk village of Anmer, Charlotte was able to develop her love of soccer sheltered by cast-iron security gates, 12-foot pines and a no-fly zone that was placed overhead at William's request. At a 2016 luncheon held in his honor, British Football Association president William reported to the crowd that the then-11-month-old was "a very good footballer. You hold her hand and she kicks it. Very sweet."
Meanwhile George, lover of anything with wheels, was able to tool around the 20,000-acre grounds of Anmer Hall on bike rides with Dad. And when Charlotte wasn't tumbling around with George, she'd be trailing after her mom, a family friend telling Us Weekly she had her own set of kitchen gadgets she used when Kate was preparing food in the 18th century home's renovated kitchen. Her other go-to toy, the friend revealed, anything Disney Princess, though, "I don't think it's quite dawned on her that she's a princess herself." Similarly George, "quite likes The Lion King," William has revealed, however, it's unclear if the presumed future monarch grasps the full weight of the song "I Just Can't Wait to Be King."
In an ideal world, that particular cognizance is a ways off. Catherine Mayer, author of Charles: The Heart of a King told E! News that William knows how much his father struggled with the weight of his future as a child. So with George, he and Kate "are trying to delay that moment of realization and give him normality before they thrust this on him."
While it seems likely a few of his well-heeled classmates at Thomas's Battersea recognize his status, for now he's just George Cambridge, whose parents chatted with the other grownups at orientation and turned out to watch him portray the role of sheep in the nativity play.
But all of that may not have been possible if Diana didn't take a stand back in the '80s. At her insistence, William, followed by his brother Prince Harry, became the first heir to "begin his schooling outside of a palace," Newsweek's George Hackett wrote in 1985. "The decision to have William, 3, develop his finger-painting skills among commoners showed the influence of Diana, Princess of Wales, who had worked in a nursery school herself when she was just a Lady."
And William's first day at Jane Mynor's nursery school went went swimmingly, the young prince returning home with a finger mouse and his Postman Pat thermos. "He enjoyed himself; there were no tears," a palace spokesperson proclaimed.
Just the slightest bit of annoyance. Bodyguard Ken Wharfe recalled one anecdote to ABC News, noting Diana informed William there would be people taking pictures and he'd need to behave. "And he, in this sort of just William way, said to his mother, just below the pink cap, 'I don't like 'tographers,'" recounted Wharfe. "She said, 'Well, you're going to get this for the rest of your life."
But to balance out the intrusion, Diana packed in as much fun and normality as possible. Before she came along, royals were mostly kept sequestered from the population they'd one day rule. As a princess, Elizabeth was said to be so trapped in her gilded cage the palace had to invite in a Girl Guide company (known as Girl Scouts in the U.S.) so she had kids her own age to play with.
"I think that really is the long-lasting legacy that Diana has left William and Harry," royal correspondent Arbiter said. "She took them outside the palace walls."
With Diana leading the way, they road the bus and the tube and even went to Disney World, where they stood in line with everyone else.
"She made sure that they experienced things like going to the cinema, queuing up to buy a McDonalds, going to amusement parks, those sorts of things that were experiences that they could share with their friends," Diana's chief of staff Patrick Jephson told ABC News.
Perhaps more importantly, she introduced them to her charity work, bringing her boys along on visits to hospitals and homeless shelters. "It was a very difficult dilemma for Diana to prepare them for the very distinctive, unique life that they have had to lead," Jephson said. "And she did it very cleverly, I think."
That included taking a 7-year-old William to a homeless shelter "completely out of sight of any camera or media," Wharfe recalled. "This was Diana's way of actually saying to William, 'Listen, it isn't all what you think it is living at Kensington Palace.' That was a quite a brave thing on Diana's part."
It's a lesson William, now the patron for the Centrepoint homeless charity, took to heart. "She played a huge part in my life and Harry's growing up, in how we saw things and how we experienced things," William said in a 2012 interview Katie Couric.
For now, he and Kate are focused on parables that are more easily digestible for those under the age of 5. "My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect and honesty. I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life," Kate said during a kickoff to Children's Mental Health Week last year. "That is why William and I want to teach our little children, George and Charlotte, just how important these things are as they grow up."
But greater education lies ahead. As William recalled to Couric, his mom "very much wanted to get us to see the rawness of real life. And I can't thank her enough for that, 'cause reality bites in a big way, and it was one of the biggest lessons I learned is, just how lucky and privileged so many of us are—particularly myself."
George, Charlotte and now little Louis will never have bath time with Grandma—their greatest connection to her coming from William's frequent bedtime stories and the photos that line the halls of their 21-room palace apartment. "It's important that they know who she was and that she existed," William explained in Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.
We're willing to bet they'll be feeling the effects of her legacy for years to come.


FOR four months, coffee and kaya toast chain Ya Kun has been trying to hire eight waiters and cleaners for an outlet it wants to open at the Singapore Flyer.
The shutters are still down.
'Several people enquired but not a single person turned up for the interviews. Zero,' said its operations manager Jimmy Ng yesterday.
Ya Kun's struggle is familiar to many Singapore companies in the services sector, especially when seeking rank-and-file workers for largely low-skilled jobs that pay around $1,200 a month.
The latest official figures show the number of job vacancies at record levels.
In all, there were 50,200 vacancies in September last year, a four-year high.
This peak is about one-third more than the 36,900 recorded a year earlier, according to the Job Vacancies Report of the Ministry of Manpower (MOM), released yesterday. The figures, based on data from 12,600 establishments, are up to September 2010.
As for jobs that remain unfilled for at least six months, the picture is even bleaker. The number soared to a five-year high of 15,360 - a rise of 51.5 per cent from the 10,140 a year ago.
Four in five of these extended vacancies are for rank-and-file workers, with the rest for white-collar workers.
The situation will persist, if not worsen, said economists and recruitment agencies interviewed.
The reason? He sees the economy growing at 6.5 per cent, and the unemployment rate falling close to 1.5 per cent.
The services sector will continue to be the hardest hit, with 75 per cent of the job openings last September. In manufacturing, it was 17 per cent and construction, around 7 per cent.
MOM attributes the soaring number of job vacancies to Singapore's 'rapid and robust economic recovery'. The economy grew by 14.7 per cent last year and and is expected to expand by 4 to 6 per cent this year.
The rebound saw the unemployment rate going down to 2.1 per cent - the lowest since 1.9 per cent in March 2008 - while the employment rate of residents aged 25 to 64 hit a record 77.1 per cent last June, up from 75.8 per cent in 2009.
Recruitment agency Adecco Southeast Asia's regional director Lynne Ng said that job-seekers now are holding out for the right job, instead of jumping at the first offer.
Mr Josh Goh, assistant director for corporate services at recruiter The GMP Group, said the last time the labour market was so tight was between 2007 and early 2008.
Now, as then, the worst-off sectors are banking and finance, and retail.
Mr Goh believes that to get new hires, 'employers need to review their salaries and pay market rate'.
Barclays Capital economist Leong Wai Ho said the worker shortage will remain, at least in the first half, because the two integrated resorts have yet to open all its offerings. At the same time, investments in manufacturing continue to pour in.
The squeeze would be most keenly felt in tourism-related industries and marine engineering, he added.
But Mr Ong Ye Kung, chairman of NTUC's Employment and Employability Institute, believes employers can get the workers they want when they offer better pay, which they can do by raising productivity.
One way to ease it, said Barclays Capital's Mr Leong, is for the Government to be flexible about foreign worker policies, especially the higher levies introduced last year as part of its move to encourage employers to raise productivity and rely less on cheap foreign labour.
Ya Kun's Mr Ng hopes it will happen soon as the company plans to add another 20 outlets to its existing 40 employing 280 workers.
'It will be terrific if the Government allows us to hire more foreigners. It will be very good news for us,' he said.


When it comes down to a choice between down insulation and synthetic insulation for your sleeping bag, down is the better choice for a couple of different reasons. Down filled sleeping bags, for instance, will tend to be lighter than synthetic sleeping bags, all other things being equal. Of course, down also tends to be more expensive, and also doesn't perform quite as well when wet, but for many people, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
What to look for when reviewing down filled sleeping bags.
Down Quality – There is actually a whole range of different downs, which are delineated by the fill number. An 800 fill down sleeping bag, for instance, while good, is not as good as a 900 fill sleeping bag. The 900 fill down will provide more warmth, relative to weight, than the 800 fill down.
Shape – Regardless of what insulation you decide to use in your sleeping bag, you need to decide on what shape you want your sleeping bag to be. The obvious advantage of a mummy shaped sleeping bag, of course, is that there's less of it, and so it will weigh less than a comparable rectangular sleeping bag will.
Some of the very best down filled sleeping bags with a few different minimum temperatures.
Western Mountaineering HighLite Sleeping Bag - First up, an excellent down filled sleeping bag for warmer summer nights. With a minimum temperature rating of 35 degrees it wont be much good for winter, but when it's warm it's an ideal temperature rating. That, combined with extra large baffles, a half length zipper and high quality 850 fill down makes it extremely lightweight, at just 1 pound, or 453 grams. So an excellent, lightweight summer backpack, ideal for backpackers or anyone else the least bit concerned about weight.
Sea to Summit Trek TK1 Sleeping Bag - This is a combination of a few different features. First, it uses down, but 650 fill duck down, which helps to keep the price down as much as possible. It's also a semi-rectangular shape, which means it's rectangular with a slight taper, so a fine line between comfort and weight. And with a weight of 2 pounds 2 ounces, or 963 grams, and a minimum temperature rating of 32 degrees it's not especially lightweight, but it's certainly not heavy either. A good compromise between weight, comfort and price.
Rab Neutrino 600 Sleeping Bag (Women's) - The Neutrino is the kind of sleeping bag you want when the temperature starts dropping down low. With a minimum temperature rating of just 10 degrees it's warm enough to keep you sleeping comfortably in the winters of many parts of the world. It uses 800 fill down, and a fairly narrow mummy cut. It also has features like a draft collar and a draw cord on the hood that are essential for keeping you warm. And at just 2 pounds 8 ounces, or 1.12 kilograms it's very lightweight, relative to other 10 degree sleeping bags out there.

Seattle Author Reveals What She Learned About President Trump in New YA Book
In 'Unpresidented,' Martha Brockenbrough documents Trump's life, times and the current political era for young readers
Alanna Wight
This article appears in print in the December 2018 issue. Click here to subscribe.
Regarding Martha Brockenbrough's latest young adult (YA) book, Unpresidented: A Biography of Donald Trump (ages 12–18, Feiwel and Friends, $19.95), we asked the Seattle journalist and author, "What are the two most interesting things you discovered about the president?"
"Trump's love of crowds cheering for him started when he was just a boy—he even wrote a poem about how much he loved the sound."
"Trump balked at naming his first-born son Donald. "What if he's a loser?" he asked his then-wife Ivana."
Our interview with Brockenbrough, who discusses her book 7 p.m. on Dec. 7 at the University Book Store, continues below:
SM: Why did you feel it was important to write a book America's 45th President?
MB: During the long 2016 election season, I was working on a biography of Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton, Revolutionary/Feiwel & Friends). It was fascinating then to be immersed in the history of this nation and the life of one of its most dynamic and puzzling heroes when we were in the midst of an unfolding period of history when much of what the founders did felt under siege.
Trump struck me as exactly the demagogue Hamilton feared, and while Hamilton was no friend to the First Amendment, Trump's behavior and statements on the stump put this and other elements of the Bill of Rights at risk.
Like many people, I did not think he would win. I'd followed his career to know that he was not a particularly good businessman (below average in his field, I have since learned). Like many, I was also astonished at his statements: the untrue ones, the racist ones, the misogynistic ones.
And I know it seems controversial to judge his words this way, but I do it intentionally. We are living in an age where reality is under assault, not just from Trump, although he is a chief example.
Scientists are certain that human activity is responsible at least in significant part for the climate change we can all observe with our own eyes. And yet there are some who would still say, "Oh, it's fuzzy. It's complicated." Why do they say this? Because media have been careful to present "both sides," elevating non-scientific views to the level of science.
Trump himself has called climate change a "hoax."
It is not. And yet many people believe in this manufactured reality because we are trying to be responsible and air many viewpoints and allow for different interpretations.
When a person says, as Trump did, that an American-born judge with Mexican ancestry cannot do his job because of it, that is racism on its face. He is saying that a man's race is preventing him from doing his job. And it is but one example.
When I watched the election results roll in, I was concerned to say the least. The next morning, I woke up and thought about the books children would read about the 45th president. And this is when I felt sick to my stomach.
How do you tell kids about this complicated man?
The book I wrote is categorized as YA. So it's not a book for very young children, although I would love to write one of those too. And, like much of YA, it is something adults will also enjoy and relate to—there's a lot to it, but it has a bit more context than a typical adult book would have. (Like, I briefly explain the nature of the conflict in Vietnam, something most adults know about, but teen readers might not yet have encountered.)
I wanted to tell readers the complicated truth, rather than write the typical celebratory book for young readers. It's not that there's nothing to celebrate about Trump. He is wildly successful at creating a brand for himself. He identified key issues that would resonate—rightly or wrongly—with a wide swath of voters. But I could not stomach the idea of him being portrayed in a purely heroic light.
This is a book that tells the complicated truth. Much of it is told in Trump's own language—his tweets are an unprecedented look inside the mind of a president.
SM: Why do you feel it's important to share these facts to readers? And how is your book different from other recent political books?
MB: The question of fairness is a vital one, and one I gave a great deal of thought to as I worked. How do you fairly portray a president? Trump himself has an idea of it. He and his surrogates have complained that 92 percent of his media coverage is negative. This implies that he thinks some efforts to be more positive should be made—perhaps to hit a 50/50 level.
Fairness is much more complicated than 50/50. What's fair is: first, what is accurate; second, what is relevant; and third: what is representative of the larger whole.
Some people hold "objectivity" up as a standard. Objectivity demands we include a sample of everything without providing context. AI is pretty good at being objective, and if you've ever seen paint colors suggested by artificial intelligence, you will understand why this fails to convey the meaning that human beings expect. (I don't think you're doing to be painting your walls "Dondarf" any time soon.)
Objectivity also would demand we don't assess whether someone is telling the truth or telling a lie. It would demand we include the lie. This is measurably destructive, even as it is well intended. A huge percentage of Republicans, for example, believe the lie that Obama was born outside of the United States. Trump advanced this conspiracy theory relentlessly for years, starting on it afte Obama's birth certificate had been provided, and continuing it after a long-form version had been provided. It's "objective" to cover the conspiracy theory as a he-said/she-said sort of thing. But it does not serve the truth.
In a biography like this, what is more important than any arbitrary ratios of good and bad are the patterns of behavior. The patterns reveal the heart of his life and choices, and once I understood this, it became clear to me what was essential for the narrative and what was not.
By going back to the immigration of Trump's grandfather, I help the reader understand more the patterns of the Trump family and its values. Trump makes more sense in this context.
There are fantastic books that do this already, chief among them Gwenda Blair's. Mine does it a bit more succinctly for obvious reasons, but anyone who's interested will learn much about immigration and ways of doing business in turn-of-the-20th-century America.
My book goes all the way through the Helsinki press conference, where Trump blamed America for the state of American-Russian relations, and where Trump sided with Putin over the nation's intelligence agencies. So it's quite a lot of time.
More significantly, I put everything into chronological order. This is something the news media can't do on a daily basis. The primary job of the media is to cover the news of the day, which means sometimes things that happened months ago finally come to light. This is no knock on journalists at all, but it sometimes means we don't have a clear handle on everything that's going on in the White House.
Again, this is no knock on the media at all. Many news sources have kept excellent timelines on certain subjects, like the Mueller investigation. Or on staff turnover in the West Wing, which is unprecedented. Or Trump's tweets, many of which have become news stories by themselves.
My book combines these timelines and tells the story of his campaign and time in office as a chronological narrative, which gives the clearest view of this extraordinary period in history, and builds the best understanding I can possibly build of why we are in uncharted waters as a nation.
And it is sourced with more than 1,000 footnotes so readers can check for themselves (I don't know the final count of footnotes. But there are a lot of them.)
SM: What else would you like readers to know about this book? What do you hope this book will accomplish?
MB: I want readers to know that—regardless of what they think they know about the president—this is a rigorously researched, thoughtfully produced account of his life and the first 500 or so days of his presidency. We are living in times of great historic import. Our identity as a nation is being redefined.
My intent is that, above all else, the young people inheriting the world will be informed with reliable information. The truth serves democracy. There is no democracy without it. That's why I wrote this book. I love our nation. I believe in its highest ideals, and the darkest parts of our history are when we have failed to follow those.

Before you begin to learn yoga you must first decide what you are hoping to learn from yoga, an ancient form of exercise from India. The simple fact is yoga can provide many benefits on the body and mind.
If fitness is the sole aim of why you wish to practice yoga then you will leave your mind closed of to the benefits that it can have on you mentally. If you decide to perform yoga for the sole reason of gaining spiritual enlightenment and the positive effects it can have on you mentally then the fitness aspect may not be exploited to its full potential.
What I would recommend and believe everyone who is interested in taking up this practice is to enter it with an open mind. Learn the basics to yoga first and then as you become more adapt to the postures, poses and mental side that it teaches then and only then will you begin to expand and reap the full benefits of yoga.
Where as the truth is that it takes many years of practice and dedication to reach these levels. When you start performing yoga for the first time you will begin to notice a difference, but it is essential that you take it a small step at a time. There is a reason that yoga is the oldest existing (what I like to call) mind and body system around, this is due to the fact that it helps to aid in providing a great level fitness, has known health benefits and can help in improving a persons mental state.
One of the main reasons why yoga has such a huge benefit on the body is because it stretches the muscles therefore when you perform a yoga workout it would have a similar effect of a massage which will ensure that the ideal blood supply can be reached by every organ.
The beauty of yoga is that there are many different forms which gives everyone the chance to find what one suits them best. Don't just set your mind on one type of yoga, try out a few different routines, see which one suits you best.
Different forms of yoga can effect different people in many different ways. So make sure to find out which type will provide the maximum benefit on your mind and body. Yoga can be a very strenuous exercise so make sure that you do not push yourself to much when you start of. This can result in an injury. So take your time to build yourself up and when you feel extremely comfortable then begin to push yourself more.
Ashtanga (Also known as power yoga) – Perfect for the person who wants a very hard workout session. It concentrate less on meditation and more on tough physical exercise.
Iyengar – This is a classical form of yoga and is seen as the best starting block for beginners. Many props are used in this yoga style.
Bikram – Must be carried out in a room that is over 38C or higher. There are 26 postures that are carried out in a specific order.
Hatha – Very chilled out form of yoga which focuses on poses that flow from to another at a very easy pace.
Kundlini – Includes mantras, visualizations, guided relaxation and meditations.
Kripalu – A flowing and meditation orientated. There are 3 stages and the person will perform from stage one to stage three.
The top five are the most commons forms of yoga. Remember if you do decide to try yoga out, take your time, do not push yourself to hard at first, enter into it with an open mind and find out what type of yoga suits you best.
Well-rounded Health Means More Than Just Working Out!
I keep getting different aches and pains. I know it is probably lifestyle factors and might even be part of the ageing process but I was wondering what I could do to help myself, something that doesn't cost the earth and would give good results. Only sensible answers please. Thanks.
I am 13 years old and want to increase my height. I think yoga stretching exercises will be effective but most people tell me that it only improves our posture which makes us look taller. Is this true or is yoga really effective? if it is,then how much time should i spend each day doing it?
Does anxiety cause bad leg pain?
Does it cause bad heachaches?
Does it make you hear noises thats not really there?

You are so awoseme for helping me solve this mystery.

Saskatchewan, Ottawa carbon tax case 'monumental' for Constitution: expert
A legal expert said there's a strong chance the Supreme Court of Canada would uphold a federal carbon tax
Feb. 10, 2019 7:40 a.m.
Legal experts, government officials and industry leaders will all watch this week as Saskatchewan and Ottawa head to court over the constitutionality of a federally imposed carbon tax.
The federal government is set to impose a carbon levy on provinces that do not have one of their own starting in April.
Ottawa's price on pollution starts at a minimum of $20 a tonne and rises $10 annually until 2022.
The Saskatchewan Party government has always been opposed to the idea. The province says the tax would hurt the economy and feels its own plan for emissions reductions is sufficient.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised that most of the money from a national carbon price will be returned to Canadians through rebates and that it's a necessary mechanism to fight climate change.

The Saskatchewan government has asked the province's Appeal Court to rule on whether a federally imposed tax is constitutional and two days of hearings are to begin Wednesday.
"There's no question that it's a monumental decision in the life of the Canadian Constitution," said University of Alberta law professor Eric Adams.
"The court hasn't yet grappled explicitly with climate change as the background context to a constitutional question."
In court filings, both Canada and Saskatchewan point to the Constitution to show that neither the province nor the federal government has explicit control over the environment, but that it overlaps both jurisdictions.
But Saskatchewan argues a federally imposed carbon tax is "constitutionally illegitimate" because it only applies to some provinces.
"Under our Constitution the federal government has no authority to second-guess provincial decisions with respect to matters within provincial jurisdiction," court documents filed by the province say.
It also cites part of a 2017 legal opinion released by Manitoba, which last year pulled out of the federal plan. Legal expert Bryan Schwartz concluded that there's a strong chance the Supreme Court of Canada would uphold a federal carbon tax.
But the law professor from the University of Manitoba said a "credible" yet "untested" argument could be made about how such a measure is applied. Schwartz wrote that a case could be made that Ottawa would be "arbitrarily denying" Manitoba authority to deal with emissions reductions in its own way.
Ottawa argues climate change is a national concern and the federal government's power to impose a carbon tax comes from Section 91 of the Constitution, which states laws can be made "for the peace, order and good government of Canada."
Adams said that branch of jurisdiction is not often cited in constitutional disputes because it's difficult for courts to define the limits of a "national concern."
Arguments are to be heard before a panel of five judges. There are also submissions from 16 interveners representing both sides of the dispute.
Applicants in support of Canada's position include the government of British Columbia, The David Suzuki Foundation and the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation.
Amir Attaran, lawyer for the northern Alberta First Nation, argues a federal carbon price is "a constitutional necessity" because the effects of climate change have an impact on northern Indigenous peoples' rights to hunt, fish and trap.

Interveners on Saskatchewan's side include anti-carbon-tax allies such as Alberta's United Conservative Party and the government of Ontario, which has filed its own legal challenge.
Todd Lewis, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, which also has intervener status, said he supports the province's position because he feels a carbon tax would disproportionately affect farmers.
Adams said it's inevitable the dispute will not be settled in Saskatchewan's highest court and will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court.

The role of prince Salim in the epic historical film of 60's, Mughal-e-Azam has made a benchmark in the film industry. This role is played by none other than tragedy king of Bollywood aka Dilip Kumar. This veteran actor was born in QissaKhawani Bazaar area of Peshawar in the family of Lala Ghulam Sarwar, a landlord, and a fruit merchant. Mr. Sarwar has a family of 12 children and he owns orchards in Peshawar, Pakistan, and Deolali, Maharashtra, India. Later in the late 1930s, Sarwar family relocated to Bombay.
Dilip Kumar was born on 11 December 1922 and his earlier name was Muhammad Yusuf Khan and did his schooling from Barnes School, Deolali. Kumar didn't start as actor infact he didn't even plan of B-town. The journey of his to B-town is itself a movie. At the age of 18 he had an altercation with his father, after which he left for Pune. In Pune, he met a canteen contractor with the help of an elderly Anglo-Indian couple as well as an Iranian cafe owner. Khan was a man of man of self-esteem because he got a job to manage a sandwich stall at the army club only and only on basis of his knowledge of good written and spoken English not by using his family antecedents. During this contract he saved Rs. 5000 which was quite a big amount in early 40's. Later after the end of the contract, he headed to Bombay in order to help out his father with household finances but destiny has planned something for him.
During this chapter of his life one fine day at Churchgate Station, he met Dr. Masani, asking his company to accompany him in Bombay Talkies. The owner of BT, actress Devika Rani has signed him up on a package of Rs. 1250 per year. While working in Bombay Talkies he met actor Ashok Kumar and Sashadhar Mukherjee who became very close to him over years. Due to proficiency in Urdu language Khan used to help in the story-writing and scripting department. Later Rani requested Khan to Change his name to Dilip from Yousuf and after changing his he has been cast in 40's Jwar Bhata as a lead character. This is how Muhammad Yusuf Khan an ordinary merchandiser's son becomes Dilip Kumar and B-Town got his prince Saleem. After that, for two decades Kumar did much variety of genres like romantic, swashbuckling , dramatic, comical , historical and social movies such as Andaz in 1949, Aan in 1952, Devdas in 1955, Azaad in 1955, Kohinoor Mughal-e-Azam in 1960, Ganga Jamuna in 1961 etc. The movie Devdas was based on a Bengali romantic novel written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay at the age of 17. Since the movie Mughal-e-Azam was shoot in black and white and only a few of the climax was in color so it's fully colorized version was released in 2004. Ganga Jamuna was his first and only produced the movie. This movie also starred Vyjayanthimala, his frequent leading lady, and his brother Nasir Khan.This was the time where he established his screen name, "Tragedy King" along with various awards. In 1962 he has been offered a role of Sherif Ali by David Lean, a British director for his movie Lawrence of Arabia but Kumar declined and this offer is given to Omar Sharif, an Egyptian actor. Later Kumar released a statement the Sharif has played far better I could.
As I said earlier destiny has planned something different for him. In the late 60s and early 70s his career slumped and all his movies were started failing on box office, his popularity started reducing. It was a period when he and his Raj Kapoor were not enjoying success as much they were enjoying earlier. Movies of him like Dil Diya Dard Liya have disappointed critics very much, according to them film has let them down and only positive point of the film was Pran's performance but he still gets a nomination for Filmfare.
Therefore after spending more than two decades in film industry Kumar took a five-year break in 1976 and return with a blast with Kranti which was a multi starer movie and he playing a revolutionary freedom fighter fighting with British rule and shares the screen with Manoj Kumar, Shashi Kapoor, Hema Malini and Shatrughan Sinha. His another Bang-Bang includes Shakti, Karma and Saudagar which considered to be his last successful box office and his last big screen appearance was Qila where he played a double role.
The movie karma was 80's highest grosser in which Kumar played a role of a jailer who wants to take revenge from Doctor Dang who is an escaped terrorist and has killed his family. To accomplish his goal the jailor hires three men. Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff, and Anil Kapoor played the role of those three men while another veteran actor Anupam Kher played the role of Doctor Dang.
14. Got his first Twitter account in 2011 on his 89th birthday.
Nishan-e-Imtiaz, is the highest civilian award in Pakistan and Kumar received this award in 1997 from the government of Pakistan but Shiv Sena, the ruling party in Maharashtra raised an objection on this by questioning his patriotism. However, in 1999 he retained his award in consultation with Atal Bihari Vajpayee who was PMO India that time.
Many actresses like Madhubala, Vyjayanthimala, Nargis, Nimmi, Meena Kumari and Kamini Kaushal formed popular on-screen pairings with him and few of them faced many rumors as well. Actress Kamini Kaushal wife of B.S. Sood, a chief engineer in the Bombay Port Trust and her brother-in-law as well was Kumar's first. Kumar also fell in love with his costar Madhubala but since at that time Madhu's family was not in favor of their marriage they had to part their ways. In the lonely life of Dilip, his another co-star Vyjayanthimala also comes. The duo has given many successful films from 1955-1968 but couldn't succeed their love life and they denied the rumors of their affair. At last, in 1966 he married to a 22 year younger actress Saira Banu with whom he also went to Mecca pilgrimage in 2013 for the first time in his life. Saira Bano is an Indian Hindi film actress and theater artist. She is a daughter of actress Naseem Banu and film producer Mian Ehsan-ul-Haq and granddaughter courtesan Chamiyan Bai. Mian sahib has produced film Phool and Wadah in Mumbai and Pakistan respectively. A significant part of her childhood was spent in London.
In 1980 he married a second time to Asma but unfortunately this couldn't last long.

Beauty and danger come together in air sports like paragliding. See pictures of skydiving.
Air sports are a dangerous but exhilarating hobby. The risk certainly doesn't keep people from flying, but even the best-trained air sports adventurers need to be leery of the long list of things that can go wrong on a flight.
According to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, which operates as the world governing body for air sports and aeronautical records, there are 10 different air sport disciplines.
There is also wingsuit flying, which is not governed by the FAI rules.
While air sports might seem like a new sports phenomenon to the casual onlooker, they've been around since the turn of the 20th century. The pioneering efforts of the Wright Brothers, Alberto Santos-Dumont, Clément Ader and others helped mankind achieve its dream of flight.
Once you put a person up in the air, new problems arise. Countless different malfunctions can take place when you're falling to the ground or in flight. We'll take a look at 10 of these potential problems.


This game would have been much better served if you were the Xeno, rather than the human who has to kill a bunch of humans before they can kill the Xeno.
Just give us what we want; To play Predator, and only Predator, stealthing around killing everything.
I'm with you we need a Xenomorph game. You can even start the game as a facehugger and build up your forces/family until the end where you and your brothers are tearing the place apart. But no, because people don't like playing as someone who isn't exactly like them, or in many cases so bland they project themselves onto them.
Also as for the Predator part, there was a game called Predator Concrete Jungle. It... wasn't that great.
Alien Vs. Predator 2 was an absolutely fantastic and amazing game, and it really captures what it feels like to be a xenomorph in the xenomorph story section.
The 2010 version was garbage.
I'm 100% certain the Alien is going to be invunerable until the last level. This isn't going to be an open-world game, I think at best it'll be more like Amnesia in structure.
I knew I was letting my imagination get the better of me as I envisioned a completely non scripted free form ship environment inhabited by intelligent npcs and your actions and interactions would affect how the alien AI responds, but we are in 2014 and it's about time games focus on things like uber ai instead of photo realistic graphics.
Dunno imagine a game where besides playing as is intended, you have the option to just go hide in the vents like newt did in aliens, making for a very boring (but safe!) game only punctuated by the screams of the crew being slaughtered echoing across the vents, climaxing in a mad dash for the end of game rescue ship or escape pod. Or just being VERY lucky and managing to kill the alien by accidentally releasing an airlock in the very beginning of the game and therefore saving the entire crew of the ship before most even realized what was happening.
I'm still hoping it won't be heavily scripted (although whether it will be is up in the air). But if it's not scripted much I still think the way the games going to work is that their are zones and places you need to get to/objectives you need to achieve. And the Alien AI will hunt you (and possibly NPCs?) whilst you're doing that and you have to try and stay alive/out smart it.
And then eventually there'll be some sort of climax and I suspect actually killing the Alien will be totally scripted.
The ship simulator thing sounds like it could be good. But it's one of those things that requires a lot of really fine balance in a lot of systems to actually be fun, and I can't see a AAA game ever risking that.
Please be an early April fools! It has to be one, right?! right...?

Q: How can I get QuickFix to process messages that come in from a resend request? I am writing an acceptor application and using a persistent FIX session.  I am trying to write a recovery mode, such that if I go offline or my program restarts, when I reconnect I want to reprocess all the messages sent to me during the day to get back to the current state.
To do this, when I start up I send a resend request for all messages to the server.  They fire me back all the relevant messages, and they are marked possdupflag=Y and possresend=Y.  Before each message, they send a sequence reset for the repeated message they are about to send.
The problem is though, these messages do not seem to be processed by my message cracker. Both fromAdmin and fromApp do not get these messages.  I assume they are being ignored because of the dup flag and/or resend.  So is there a way for me to tell QuickFIX that I want to see these messages?
On that note- if anyone has any recommendations on better recovery processes I would be open to them.
Thanks.

A: There's at least a couple of potential problems with this recovery strategy. The first is that it's not very friendly to your trading counterparty. If you only receive a small number of messages during your session then it may not be an issue, but if you receive hundreds of thousands of messages then your counterparty might complain about the massive resends.
The other issue is that message resend is intended for error recovery and is managed by the session protocol layer. In QuickFIX/J (and other FIX engines) the session maintains recovery state in addition to sending the ResendRequest automatically when it detects a sequence number gap. Your approach might work if you reset the next expected incoming sequence number to 1. When the session receives the next message with a higher sequence number it will detect the gap and request the missing messages. If the messages are validated, they will be forwarded to application layer with the PossDup flag set. If you send the ResendRequest message yourself the behavior is undefined since the session state will not have been set up properly.
I recommend using a MessageLog implementation to store your incoming messages in a form you can use for recovery when your application starts. You can look at the implementation of the existing message logs (FileLog, JdbcLog) to get some ideas.

A: The behaviour occurs because the engine's persistance system tells it that the recieved messages are resent messages and so (per the FIX protocol specification) are discarded. Here we save FIXml strings into our database to provide a similar recovery ability to that which you describe(they are also written to xml files on disk for other reasons). I don't believe that there is any way to tell quickfix that you want to see duplicate messages but it is probably better to use a different form or persistance to save on connection overheads. Quickfix does provide a way of outputting messages to file as they come in if that helps.

A: I too have the same issue and What Frank Says is absolutely correct ,
Just use the below method to set the target sequence number to the begin seq number of the desired resend req .
 getSession()->setNextTargetMsgSeqNum(atoi(seq.c_str()));

The engine internally identifies that the target number is way too large and automatically sends resend request , and all messages will be captured in onMessage call back itself as usual

Q: subscribe and unsubscribe from multiple jquery on events in React useEffect I need to subscribe to multiple events from a jquery plugin in a useEffect and I wanted to just add them to an array and then call an unsubscribe on them. I thought jquery would return the unsubscribe from its subscribe so I could just call unsubscribe on it directly but this is not the case.
Something like this below.
const Component = () => {
  const refPlugin = useRef();
  const [state, setState] = useState();

  useEffect(() => {
     const subscriptions = [
      refPlugin.current.on("query", onHandleQueryStart),
      refPlugin.current.on("tabClose", onTabClosed),
      refPlugin.current.on("tabAdd", onTabAdded),
      refPlugin.current.on("tabSelect", onTabSelected),
    ];

    return () => {
       subscriptions.forEach((unsubscribe) => unsubscribe());
    }
  }, [state]);

  return (

content

  )
}

Whats the best way to go around this to keep track of all the subscriptions and unscribe them easily ?

Mission Guadalupe was established by the Jesuit Everardo Helen in 1720, at the Cochimí settlement of Huasinapí in the Sierra de la Giganta about 40 kilometers west of Mulegé, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The mission was named after Our Lady of Guadalupe.

History
The mission went through a typical trajectory of demographic decline experienced by the Baja California missions, as the neophyte population dwindled under the impact of Old World diseases. The mission was abandoned in the Dominican period, in 1795, when its residents were transferred to La Purísima. Surviving traces of Mission Guadalupe include building walls, dams, and graveyards.

Mission site:

Road access: travel west from Mulegé about 25 miles (40 km) [intersection is at ] then north about 12 miles (19 km). The road is rough but passable.

Home / Call for stronger laws to protect apostates from abuse
Call for stronger laws to protect apostates from abuse
Humanists UK and Faith to Faithless have submitted written evidence to the UK Parliament's Joint Committee on the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill, stating that proposed reforms to the law to protect victims of domestic abuse do not go far enough.
The groups raised two key concerns with the Domestic Abuse Bill which has been drafted by the UK Government and is currently undergoing pre-legislative scrutiny before being introduced to Parliament.
The first of these concerns is that the definition of a perpetrator as someone who is 'personally connected' to the victims should be expanded to include community members who assert substantial control and influence over family life. This would protect victims of religiously-based and honour-based abuse where such abuses are often initiated or conducted outside of the immediate family by non-relational community and congregation members.
Secondly, the Bill does not extend to Northern Ireland, contrary to its initial envisioning, leaving victims of abuse in one part of the the UK arbitrarily with less protection. This omission is significant as the Bill's failure to extend these protections, as well as address known violations of the UN Convention on Discrimination Against Women with respect to legal access to abortion in Northern Ireland, means that the UK is unable to ratify the Council of Europe's Convention on the Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women – one of the central purposes of the Bill.
Both of these concerns, were recently raised by the Joint Committee on Human Rights in a letter to the Government.
Humanists UK's Director of Public Affairs and Policy Richy Thompson commented: '"here is no reason why the victims of domestic abuse in Northern Ireland should be left with less protection than their counterparts in the rest of the UK. Furthermore, we know that much domestic abuse against apostates or on the basis of "honour" is perpetrated not by immediate family members but by other influential community members, like religious leaders – but these individuals are not covered by the Bill either. We will continue to campaign for these gaps in the proposed Domestic Abuse Bill to be filled before the Bill is placed before Parliament."

Reuben Koehler sells Mycogen Seeds and works for Helena Chemical near Minonk, Illinois. He maintains a test plot while helping his father and three of his four brothers with the family farm. This year, he planted Enlist E3™ soybeans in an 80-acre field. He intentionally chose a tough piece of ground to get a good read on how the Enlist™ weed control system performs.
Waterhemp, giant ragweed, marestail, velvetleaf and lambsquarters
No-till soybeans rotated with strip-till corn, nonirrigated
Citing 3 Big Reasons, Illinois Farm is Sold on Enlist E3™ Soybeans
Opportunities and options: That's what Reuben Koehler sees with the Enlist™ weed control system and Enlist E3™ soybeans.
"I'm really impressed with Enlist," Koehler says. "I see a lot of good things from the Enlist system."
Koehler is a Mycogen Seeds dealer and works with Helena Chemical selling crop protection products. He works hard to keep up on all new technologies. And he tries to get practical experience with them. He helps his dad and three of his four brothers on the family farm.
"We have an 80-acre field of Enlist E3 soybeans," he says. "We're looking for herbicide technologies to control some difficult weeds: waterhemp, giant ragweed, marestail, velvetleaf and lambsquarters. I intentionally put the E3 soybeans in some difficult ground to see how they'd respond."
After a slow start due to wet weather, they've taken off. "Like many soybeans around here this year, they just struggled early, but now they're up and going," he says.
The Enlist weed control system offers features that Koehler needs on his family's farm and for his seed and crop protection customers. He sees three major benefits with Enlist technology.
1.Herbicide options.
The Enlist system is giving Koehler and his customers preemergence and postemergence application options they've never had before.
Koehler knows the value of applying multiple herbicide modes of action to control weeds and curb the development of herbicide resistance. His family uses a burndown consisting of Antares Prime, Enlist One, glyphosate and two methylated seed oils.
They rely on preemergence herbicides to keep fields clean until they can apply postemergence. Because they no-till soybeans, they sometimes face a small window to get preemergent herbicides applied before planting. Long plant-back restrictions present problems.
"I like Enlist E3 soybeans because we can apply Enlist herbicides the same day we plant if we need to," Koehler says. "We need a product we can spray right before we plant. It's a great option for our farm and for the farmers I supply."
This year, his preemergence application held weeds down for 60 days. That allowed him to come back postemergence with Enlist One herbicide tank-mixed with glyphosate, Warrant and Request.
"I'm impressed with the herbicide program," he says. "We can use Enlist herbicides for burndown, preemergence, postemergence. It offers a lot of options."
2.A technology ready for commercial use.
"Corteva has done its research and has the data to back up the Enlist system," Koehler says. "They've gone down the right road to research and launch the product the right way."
Koehler notes how Corteva has been able to develop soybean varieties with agronomics, yield and weed control technology in a number of maturities.
"I feel the yield with be there," he says. "They look good in the field now. Corteva has their ducks in a row."
3. A company that works with customers.
Koehler also has been impressed with the help and education he's gotten from Mycogen and Enlist experts.
"Our Mycogen rep is an awesome communicator," Koehler says. "He's a face-to-face guy. He helps with the plots. If he doesn't have the answer, he quickly gets me in contact with the right person."
This enabled Koehler to help his customers make successful applications.
"I was aware of how to handle applications of Enlist herbicides," he says. "I helped a couple of customers. We were careful, and resources were always available if we needed them."
Big plans for 2020
Koehler sees a bright future for Enlist E3™ soybeans.
"I think Enlist will be a huge player for us," he says. "I hope to get near 40% market share from customers next year. Guys are in the right frame of mind to try it. A lot of them are on board already."
