After nearly ten months of (typically sporadic) publication here, I feel it is manifesto time at Egg Yolks. At the very least I am due for some sort of mission statement for this site. What am I doing here? What am I trying to do? What is the point?
Looking back over my meteoric (or mediocre) career in desktop publishing, there is no concealing the many disheartening gap, particularly this latest one. I published the (thus far) final issue of The Floating Egg in October 2004, after an intermittent run of nearly five years. Thanks to my friend Chad, a handful of the essays remain available online, but despite grand intentions on my part and the well-wishing of more than a few faithful friends and (former) readers, their number has not been augmented, not even with fluff from my (not insignificant) 'archives'. I have made many fitful flinching attempts to put out 'the next' issue, but they have been in vain. The Egg seemed certain to float no more.
When I first set up this blog, it was vaguely connected in my mind to 'The Floating Egg project', though the nature of the relationship was very unclear to me. Initially I thought of this as an interim stage, something to prop up my flagging ego until I got back on my feet as a writer and could return to my own brand of ambitious and vainglorious desktop publishing. Then, as I grew more comfortable with this new medium, I thought maybe this could be a supplemental organ, a venue for pieces of a slightly different tone or stature than had historically found a place in the printed pages of TFE. Always, though, I have assumed the eventual return of TFE to circulation. Until that day, Egg Yolks would have to do.
And it has done. I am still unreliable as a producer of prose, prone as I am to long dry stretches and often paralysed by perfectionism, but I am writing again. And the mechanics of web publishing have made it a far simpler (and far less expensive) undertaking to get my words to my readers.
Finally the other day it occurred to me: Egg Yolks is not a side project or a space-filler while The Floating Egg is on hiatus; it is The Floating Egg, the next step in its evolution. It has taken these several months to reach this point, but I can see now that the thrust of my writing is settling down into a range with which I can be very comfortable, and while things are definitely different than vintage TFE, there is, from my side of the screen at least, an unmistakable feel and flavour that I have deeply missed.
Make no mistake, things have changed. I am more serious than I once was; the constant self-aggrandising patter that was such a hallmark of my college writings has little place in my output anymore. My immature and almost-universally awful attempts at 'social commentary' are behind me. I now feel that I can say what I want to say without resorting to contrived interviews with an invented self-serving alter ego. I feel increasingly comfortable searching my own soul and finding what I truly feel and believe, and then putting that personal truth into words that I can share with the world. The Egg floats on, and I with it.


Net-Foodlab is a laboratory, which helps organizations to control compliance with safety regulations. Among industries that are interested in microbial detection and consistent monitoring are food and drinks manufacturers, personal care brands, Horeca, the hospitality sector, pharmaceuticals and many others.
Net-Foodlab provides a wide variety of testing methods. They include rapid hygiene tests, like luminometry, as well as traditional laboratory tests for more detailed examination. Types of water for the lab fall into several categories, ranging from feed water to ultrapure. That is why the consistent production of high-quality water serves multiple purposes.
To stay a fully trusted quality management partner for their clients, Net-Foodlab, in turn, relies on its trustworthy equipment. The accuracy of analysis costs the most in this business, and compromise is not worth the risk of penalties and reputation loss.
Particular qualities of the water, which serves the purposes of laboratory testing, is strictly regulated. It should meet very particular characteristics in terms of the elements and residuals it contains. Primary grade laboratory water type requires carbon and reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, while higher types (general and ultrapure) use a combination of RO, ultrafiltration and other technologies. The higher the water purity grade, the more techniques should be used.

Dinosaur Ridge: Tracks to the Past
March 14, 2022 April 11, 2011 by Mile High Fun
It's hard to envision when looking at the Front Range of foothills, but millions of years ago those mountains were at the bottom of an inland sea, an area that is now rich with dinosaur fossils and other prehistoric features. Many species of dinosaurs and other wildlife used the corridor to travel north and south across the continent. Visitors can reach back in time to an era 100 million years ago as they walk along Dinosaur Ridge, a one-mile interpretive trail arcing along the hogback, a spine of Dakota Sandstone that marks the boundary between mountain and prairie.
Joe Tempel founded the non-profit Friends of Dinosaur Ridge in 1989 to preserve the area and educate others about the abundance of resources along the Dakota hogback. Now executive director, Tempel recommends that dinosaur enthusiasts begin their exploration at the Visitor's Center, tucked in at the bottom of the hill that marks Dinosaur Ridge. "It's a nice place to get familiar with what you will see on the ridge and get a trail guide," says Tempel.
A kid favorite is the dinosaur track "wall," a near-vertical area with over 300 footprints of plant-eating and carnivorous dinosaurs.
The Visitor Center provides those guides and more, with numerous fossils and artifacts, books and films. And, of course, there are fun gift items and souvenirs, with puzzles and t-shirts to help kids remember their visit. It's a popular place; "We have about 50,000 people a year move through the visitor center," Tempel says, "with another 50,000 visiting the trail."
The grounds at the center offer a respite from what can be a sunny, windy location; shady picnic tables are just outside the door, and cold drinks and restroom facilities are close by. Several "painted dinosaurs," 6-foot-tall Stegosaurus models painted in bright motifs, enliven the grounds.
Up the road, Dinosaur Ridge offers a path into the past. While it is possible to drive along the trail, parking is limited, and stopping on the road is both illegal and dangerous. Walking the trail is highly recommended. The terrain is fairly easy to travel with kids and strollers; the road is paved, although it is an uphill journey to the top of the ridge. The one-mile trail features marine and plant fossils and trace fossils, or trails and burrows of small invertebrates.
A kid favorite is the dinosaur track "wall," a near-vertical area with over 300 footprints of plant-eating and carnivorous dinosaurs, silent reminders of the dinosaurs that populated the area long ago. Other popular stops along the trail include ripple marks in the rocks, with evidence of waves and currents along Cretaceous-era beaches; "Bronto Bulges," Jurassic dinosaur tracks in cross-section; and the final stop on the west side of the trail, the site of the 1877 discoveries of dinosaur bones from Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus and Allosaurus.
An excellent way to visit Dinosaur Ridge with children is on Dinosaur Discovery Days. Scheduled monthly in the warm-weather months, Discovery Days is a dinosaur "open house," with West Alameda Parkway closed to traffic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., making it much easier to navigate the trail. Interpretive guides are available at each of the trail stops to answer questions and bring the dinosaur stories to life. Admission is free, and a shuttle bus will transport visitors from the Visitor Center to the trail for $2.
Meanwhile, in Golden, Triceratops Trail at Fossil Trace is Dinosaur Ridge's newest offering. It's a ½-mile each way loop trail next to Fossil Trace Golf Course. The trail is more rustic than Dinosaur Ridge, with no restroom facilities. The path is gravel and stroller-friendly, and offers an easily-accessible window into the "trace fossils" left by dinosaurs, birds, mammals, beetles and plants in this ancient, swampy habitat.
The one-mile trail along the Dakota hogback features marine and plant fossils and trace fossils.
"The fossils are a great reason for people to visit us here," says Tempel. "Another reason to come to Dinosaur Ridge and Triceratops Trail is for the education, to learn how this area was formed. It's all about connections. You touch time, make connections and learn to respect the beauty that is here."
Dinosaur Ridge, 16831 W. Alameda Pkwy., Morrison; (303) 697-3466;
www.dinoridge.org
Visitor Center hours: Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
The trail is open every day, 24 hours a day. Admission to the trail is free; donations are accepted.

Frank Martinus Arion (* 17. Dezember 1936 in Willemstad, Curaçao; † 28. September 2015 ebenda) war ein niederländischer Schriftsteller, Dichter und Sprachwissenschaftler. Seine Arbeiten verfasste er sowohl in niederländischer Sprache als auch auf Papiamentu. Sein bekanntestes Werk ist der 1973 erschienene Roman Doppeltes Spiel. Des Weiteren ist er für seine Forschung zum Ursprung des Papiamentu und für seinen Einsatz für dessen Gebrauch als Schulsprache bekannt.

Biografie
Frank Martinus Arion wurde 1936 als Sohn von Minguel Martinus Arion und dessen Frau Marina Jansen in Bona Vista, einem Außenbezirk Willemstads auf der Insel Curaçao geboren. Kurz nach der Geburt zog die Familie nach Aruba, wo der Vater eine Anstellung bei einer lokalen Ölgesellschaft angenommen hatte. Als er vier Jahre alt war, starben Arions Mutter und jüngerer Bruder bei einem Unfall, woraufhin Frank und dessen Schwester zurück nach Curaçao geschickt wurden, wo sie bei wechselnden Verwandten Unterkunft fanden. Bereits zur Grundschulzeit zeigte sich bei ihm schriftstellerisches Talent; im letzten Grundschuljahr gewann er den Neerlandia-Preis für den besten Aufsatz in niederländischer Sprache. Während seiner Schulzeit begann er für sich den Namen Frank Efraim Martinus zu verwenden. Hintergrund war das politische Engagement seines Vaters für die Nationale Volkspartij Curaçaos, das dazu führte, dass der Name "Arion" vielen Einwohnern der Insel ein Begriff wurde. Mit dem politischen Aktivismus seines Vaters wollte Frank jedoch nicht in Verbindung gebracht werden, seinen ursprünglichen Nachnamen gebrauchte er erst wieder in den 1950er-Jahren für die Veröffentlichung seiner ersten Werke.

Nach seinem Schulabschluss siedelte Arion 1955 in die europäischen Niederlande über, wo er an der Universität Leiden ein Studium in den Fächern Niederländische Sprache und Niederländische Literatur begann. Während seiner Zeit an der Universität gründete er die Studentengemeinschaft Baranka Antilliana, die sich als "Zuflucht" für Studenten, die wie er selbst von den Niederländischen Antillen stammten, verstand. Des Weiteren schrieb er in diesen Jahren eine Reihe von Gedichten, die 1957 als Sammlung unter dem Titel Stemmen uit Afrika (zu deutsch "Stimmen aus Afrika") in der Zeitschrift Antilliaanse Cahiers erstmals veröffentlicht wurden. In den 1960er-Jahren war Arion unter anderem als Korrespondent für verschiedene Zeitschriften und als Hauptredakteur des von ihm mitgegründeten Tageblatts Encuentro Antilliano tätig. Des Weiteren hielt er regelmäßige Lesungen im Programm des niederländischen Auslandsrundfunks. Kurz vor Ende seines Studiums brach er dieses ab und kehrte für einige Zeit auf die Niederländischen Antillen zurück, wo er sich mit dem Ursprung der örtlichen Kreolsprache Papiamentu befasste. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschung veröffentlichte er 1972 unter dem Titel Bibliografie van het Papiamentu. Im Jahr 1971 entschloss er sich, sein Studium doch noch fortzusetzen, und kehrte dazu in die Niederlande zurück. Nach seinem Abschluss fand er eine Anstellung am Institut für Niederlandistik der Universität Amsterdam. Unter dem Eindruck des Arbeiteraufstands von 1969 auf Curaçao begann er in diesem Jahr mit der Arbeit an seinem Debütroman Dubbelspel, in dem er am Beispiel von vier Domino spielenden Männern ein Bild der sich ändernden Gesellschaft und Kultur der Antillen zur damaligen Zeit zeichnet. Durch die Figuren des Romans äußert sich Arion kritisch gegenüber den Aufständischen, denen er indirekt vorwirft, nur zerstören statt gemeinsam etwas aufbauen zu wollen. Der Roman erschien schließlich im Jahr 1973 und wurde ein Jahr später mit dem Lucy B. en C.W. van der Hoogtprijs ausgezeichnet. Das Preisgeld in Höhe von 1000 ƒ spendete Arion für die Bekämpfung der Apartheidspolitik in Südafrika. In der ersten Hälfte der 1970er-Jahre lebte er vornehmlich in Amsterdam, wo er sich in der antillianischen Gemeinde der Stadt engagierte. 1975 veröffentlichte er hier seinen zweiten Roman Afscheid van de koningin (zu deutsch: "Abschied von der Königin").

1975 ging Arion nach Südamerika, wo er in der grade unabhängig werdenden niederländischen Kolonie Suriname einen Posten als Dozent an einem Institut für die Ausbildung von Lehrern annahm. Hier heiratete er auch seine Frau Trudi Guda, mit der er zwei Kinder zeugen sollte. 1980 verließ die Familie infolge der Machtergreifung Desi Bouterses Suriname und kehrte in Arions Heimat Curaçao zurück. Dort beschäftigte er sich mit der Standardisierung des Papiamentu und begann erneut zu dessen Ursprung zu forschen. Besonders interessierte er sich hierbei für Ähnlichkeiten zwischen Papiamentu und den Varianten des kapverdischen Kreols, die auf den Inseln vor der Westküste Afrikas gesprochen werden. Des Weiteren setzte er sich für die Einführung des Papiamentu als Grundschulsprache auf Curaçao ein, was ihn teils in Konflikt mit den örtlichen Behörden brachte. In diesem Zusammenhang stiftete er 1987 die private Grundschule Skol Humanistiko Erasmo, an der der Unterricht auf Papiamentu gehalten wurde. In dieser Zeit begann Arion sich verstärkt politisch zu engagieren, was 1988 in der Gründung einer eigenen Partei, der Kambio Radical ("Radikale Umkehr", kurz KARA), gipfelte. Die KARA konnte jedoch nie genug Stimmen auf sich vereinen, um einen Sitz im Parlament der Insel zu erreichen.

1996 promovierte Arion an der Universität Amsterdam. Seine Dissertation trug den Titel The Kiss of a Slave. Papiamentu's West-African Connections und beschäftigte sich mit den Ursprüngen des Papiamentu und anderer Sprachen. Unter anderem stellte er die These auf, dass das Papiamentu stärker als bisher bekannt durch die Geheimsprache Guene beeinflusst worden sei, die von den Plantagensklaven Curaçaos verwendet wurde. Darüber hinaus habe das Guene auch Einfluss auf weitere karibische Sprachen und sogar auf die englische und niederländische Sprache genommen.

Frank Martinus Arion verstarb 2015 nach kurzer Krankheit in seiner Heimatstadt Willemstad.

Orden von Oranien-Nassau
1992 verlieh ihm der niederländische Staat den Orden von Oranien-Nassau im Rang eines Ritters. Arion behielt diese Auszeichnung bis zum Jahr 2008, als er den Orden aus Protest gegen die Politik der Regierung von Ministerpräsident Jan Peter Balkenende zurückgab. Hintergrund war die Absicht der Regierung, den Abbau der Verschuldung der Niederländischen Antillen an einen gleichzeitigen Abbau der politischen Selbstverwaltung der Inseln knüpfen zu wollen. Ein Vorgang, den Arion als "demütigend und beleidigend" bezeichnete. Des Weiteren stellte er die "Freundschaft" zwischen den Niederlanden und den Niederländischen Antillen in Frage und sprach sich für eine Unabhängigkeit der Antillen für den Fall aus, dass die Pläne umgesetzt werden sollten.

Air source heat pumps are incredibly efficient at absorbing heat from the outside air and using this to heat radiators or underfloor heating systems. These pumps essentially work in the same way as a fridge extracts heat from the inside. Air source heat pumps can extract heat from the air even at low temperatures and even though they need electricity to operate, the heat they extract from the air is constantly being renewed naturally. Air source heat pumps lower fuel bills, especially if you are using them to replace electric heating, plus there is the potential for income through the government Renewable Heat Incentive in the UK.
Using an air source heating pump will also lower carbon emissions for your home and only minimal maintenance is required. Heat pumps deliver their heat at lower temperatures but over longer periods of time, so in cold weather, they may need to be on constantly and you will notice that radiators will not feel as hot as they would do with a gas or oil boiler. Unlike other renewable heating technologies, air source heat pump installations require an expertise that is different to conventional heating systems.
A poorly installed and designed heat pump system will not heat your home well and you may struggle to recover your investment in energy savings. You need to ensure the installer you choose is experienced and has a verifiable work history of installing air source heat pumps.
MyJobQuote offers a platform that allows you to request quotes from reputable local installers completely free, by simply posting brief details of your job you can start receiving competitive quotes straight away.
Air source heat pumps work by absorbing heat from the air at low temperature into a fluid. This fluid is then passed through a compressor to increase its temperature and transfers this higher temperature heat to the home heating and hot water systems. Although they all work in much the same way, there are two different types of air source heat pump heating systems in practice: "air to water" and "air to air". Air-to-water systems distribute heat via your wet central heating system through conventional (though much larger) radiators or "wet" underfloor heating systems.
Air-to-air systems produce warm air which is circulated throughout your home by fans. Air-to-air systems do not provide hot water so another heat source will be required, whereas air to water systems do actually provide hot water so can in some cases be used without a backup heating source. Though it is recommended that heat pumps are supplemented with conventional heating systems as there may be periods where they cannot provide for all your heating needs.
To install an air source heat pump you have to have somewhere to put it. You need a place outside your home where the pump unit can be installed with plenty of space around it for good airflow. If your home is not already well insulated then fitting a heat pump is a waste of money as they work best when producing heat at a lower temperature than traditional boilers so it's vital that your home is well insulated. Air source heat pumps will pay for themselves much more quickly if replacing an electricity or solid fuel heating systems. But heat pumps may not be the best option if you already use mains gas with an efficient boiler.
Although installing an air source heat pump is usually easier than other types of heat pump, in order to get an income from your heat pump installation you need to qualify for the Renewable Heat Incentive government scheme. To qualify for this scheme, the heating system needs to be installed by an MCS accredited installer. Only MCS accredited installers are able to sign off on heat pump installations that comply with the government's schemes such as the Renewable Heat Incentive and Renewable Heat Premium Payment schemes.
So DIY fitting of air source heat pumps is not recommended, you will lose out on payments via government incentive schemes and it will end up costing you a lot more money over the long term as heat pumps normally come with a 10-year warranty and should last for at least 20 years.
A heat pump is a device that absorbs low-temperature heat from the environment and pumps and compresses that heat to a higher temperature to heat your home.
Can the heat pump completely replace your gas or oil boiler?
In a lot of cases, yes, a heat pump can provide all the heating and hot water you need, but sometimes a secondary source of heating and hot water may be required to supplement the heat pump.
No need to worry about a flue/chimney getting blocked up, no oil or gas tank, no smoke or fumes, plus you will be helping the environment.
Heat pumps still use electricity to drive the unit, but the majority of the energy to heat your home comes from the environment. On average, for every unit of heat, 65 % of that unit will come from the environment with the rest from electricity. With a professionally installed heat pump set up, the cost of the electricity required will be considerably lower than the equivalent heating costs with a conventional boiler.
Most heat pumps use electricity to drive the pump but there are a small number of heat pumps which use gas. Both electric and gas driven heat pumps absorb energy from the air using a fan to draw through the heat pump outside.

Sorry for the delay with today's DOTF, I got a little sidetracked at work and our server is moving slow today.
Louisville 3 – Pawtucket 2; Game 1
The kid is showing no signs of trouble thus far in Triple-A. Homer Bailey went 6.1 innings yesterday, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits and a walk. He struck out 4 and now has an ERA of 1.42. He threw 81 pitches, 54 of which were for strikes. In 19 innings, he has only 3 walks this season. Bill Bray picked up the save by recording the final 2 outs of the game, both of which came on strikeouts. It took Bray 7 pitches to strike the final 2 guys out.
The Bats only scattered around 6 hits with no one having a multi-hit game. David Ross did go 1-3 in the game with a run scored and a triple! Yes, I said TRIPLE!
Pawtucket 8 – Louisville 2; Game 2
Tom Shearn did not have as good as a game as Bailey did in Game 1 of the doubleheader. Shearn was roughed up for 6 runs on 9 hits and a walk in 5 innings pitched. The loss drops Shearn's record to 2-1 on the season. And since we have bashed him in all of his other outings, we should at least give Gary Majewski some praise when he does well. Gary threw a scoreless inning, allowing 1 hit while striking out 2. Of course the game was 8-1 in favor of the bad guys when Gary came in, but lets not kick a guy when he's down.
The Bats managed just 4 hits in the second game of the doubleheader. Alvin Colina went 1-3 on the evening for the Bats with an rbi and a double.
Huntsville 6 – Chattanooga 5
Michael Griffin went 2-4 with 2 doubles on the evening. The 2-hit night raised his average to .324 on the season. He has a .889 OPS and now has 7 doubles. B.J. Szymanski also had a nice game, going 2-3 with a homerun and a double. He scored one and drove in one. In 36 at-bats, Szymanski is batting .417/.447/.806 with 3 homeruns and 12 rbis.ÂÂ
Sam Lecure had another bad outing, giving up 5 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks.   He struck out 5 in 5 innings pitched. Pedro Viola is trying to recover from his bad start of the season. He threw 2 innings of relief, striking out 3 but also walking 3.
Sarasota 9 – Lakeland 4
In my delay of getting this DOTF typed up, I noticed that Sarasota is currently playing their game for Tuesday. The game started at 10:30 a.m.! I just thought that was something that was odd and should be pointed out. As for yesterday's game, the Reds pounded out 16 hits en route to the win. Justin Turner led the hit parade by going 4-6 with a double, run scored and an rbi. Chris Heisey went 3-6 in the game with a double and 2 runs scored. Chris Valaika went 2-4, hitting his 3rd homerun of the season and driving in 3 rbis. Finally, Justin Tordi, the Reds 41st round draft pick in 2005, went 2-4 with a double and a run scored.
Alexander Smit benefitted from all of the runs and picked up the win. Smit wasn't great, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits and walks. He struck out 5 in 5 innings pitched.
Dayton 10 – Beloit 4
The Dragons rallied late, scoring 8 runs over the final 3 innings for the come from behind victory. Catcher Jacob Long led the charge by going 4-5 with a double, run scored, and 5 runs batted in. Keltavious Jones went 3-5 with 2 runs scored on the night and Denis Phipps went 2-4 with 2 doubles, 2 runs scored, and 2 rbis.ÂÂ
Raymond Jeffords had an impressive stat line in relief for the Dragons. Jeffords pitched 2 innings, allowing 1 hit and struck out 5! Jeffords has a whopping 17 strikeouts in 8.2 innings pitched.

Good Work For A Good Magistrate
Review of an Athol Books pamphlet.[1]
Tudor and Stuart governments had a determination to create something new in the world. Francis Bacon's A New Atlantis in the time of Queen Elizabeth and James I, and the realisation of his ideas in the Royal Society of London for Improving Natural Knowledge laid the basis for the modem world, far more than trade or banking, which had existed for centuries and produced no very large impact.
I had never been entirely happy with the orthodox Marxist notion that the English Civil War represented a triumph of capitalism over feudalism. The Stuarts as lawful monarchs had the support of reactionary forces, but all of them were keen progressives, anxious to undermine the old order of the nation. Cromwell had no particular notion of what to do, beyond carrying on much as the Stuarts bad done. And when Charles II was restored, he continued the same way, as well as formally establishing the Royal Society, informally set up during the war itself.
In his introduction, Brendan Clifford shows how something really radical almost did happen after the triumph of the Parliamentarians. A real Puritan revolution might have occurred, establishing a system of law based directly on the Bible. Radicals wanted to ignore the jumbled chaos of the English Common Law, a system established by judges for the benefit of lawyers, slow and baffling and not especially just. The Fifth Monarchy group had over a third of the members of the 'Barebones' Parliament, and were preparing to replace the Common Law with a code of law derived from the Bible. They failed because at a critical moment Cromwell turned against them. And their role has ever since been played down. (I suppose that if Kerensky had been a great general who had personally defeated Kornilov's counter-revolution, and then established personal dictatorship after dispersing the Petrograd Soviet, Russian Bolshevism might seem just as cranky and marginal as the Fifth Monarchy men now appear.)
Cromwell "died in 1658, having established neither Kingdom nor Republic. After a year of chaos … Charles the Second returned and punished the surviving leaders of the Rebellion." Hugh Peters, though not one of the Fifth Monarchists, had urged him to follow a sensible program of reform. But he knew, as they did not, that nothing could be done without Cromwell's support. His life history is interesting – like Tom Paine, he spent time in America, and developed his ideas while there. Good Work For A Good Magistrate has some remarkable notions, such as a fire prevention programme, the need for which would be demonstrated in the Great Fire some fifteen years later. He proposes a basic welfare state. He proposes a system of Peacemakers, who would arbitrate in "all common controversies" without the need to hire lawyers and engage in a set-piece battle before a judge – a system we still stand in need of. He advocates taking up the ideas of Francis Bacon, who he refers to by his title, Lord Verulam "First for the Improvement of Nature, Lord Verulam hath also manie excellent, and learned Problemes, experiments, and speculations, and more in that kinde may bee added, and brought to act by other learned men, by the incouragement, and help of the publick stock, in times of Peace, when war is ended." He also anticipates the 18th century building of canals: "cutting of Rivers, where none are".
Peters was executed in 1660, along with the surviving regicides, even though he had had no official responsibility for the trial of the King.
"His interest for later times arises from the fact that his mind was more in tune with the developments of later times than any other Puritan mind of the period, and that he was one of them."

ST. LOUIS --Five years after establishing its Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Certification Assistance Program, Enterprise Holdings is reaffirming its commitment to its supplier diversity program. The ACDBE program provides Enterprise Holdings' diverse suppliers with a third-party consultant to assist with the certification process and address any challenges they might face in obtaining an ACDBE certification, including denials and appeals.
"We developed this certification assistance program to create value for our existing diverse suppliers, helping these businesses obtain new opportunities and thrive in today's airport industry," said Lee Lewis, Supplier Diversity Manager for Enterprise Holdings. "From a business standpoint it helps drive value, and from a community standpoint it creates opportunity by driving economic inclusion, wealth-building and job growth."
Since the program's inception, Enterprise has reached out to more than 15,000 diverse suppliers through quarterly mailings. The company has also hosted several webinars to offer suppliers a forum to ask questions. By continuing to identify, utilize and increase the number of minority-owned, women-owned and other socially or economically disadvantaged small businesses that work to supply goods for its business, Enterprise is driving value in innovative ways.
Each U.S. airport is required to demonstrate its efforts toward meeting the federal government's ACDBE goals, and all concessionaires – including Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car – are thus required to report their efforts to each airport.
As a representative of Enterprise Holdings, Lewis was recently recognized by WEConnect International as the 2018 Canadian Supplier Diversity Champion of the Year. The award honors Lewis' and Enterprise's commitment to supplier diversity and advancing women-owned businesses in Canada.
"This award demonstrates the power, effectiveness and relevance of our supplier diversity program," said Gary Cunningham, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Holdings. "It celebrates not only the partnerships we've established with minority-owned, women-owned, and other socially or economically disadvantaged small businesses, but also the growth we've achieved by working together."
In his role, Lewis advocates for businesses like privately owned, Toronto-based Everyday Office Supplies – which is a WEConnect International Certified Women's Business Enterprise. The company supplies more than 50,000 competitively priced, high-quality office products to businesses of all sizes, including Enterprise.
"Diverse suppliers bring a unique level of agility, flexibility and innovation," says Lewis. "They're on the cutting edge of new technologies, and they have new ways of doing business that make a big difference for us."


It's been a busy couple of weeks. The biggest thing being my trip back to Colorado for the closing on the sale of my house. YES! I am now done with the responsibility of home ownership. Back to the free and easy life of a renter. If there is a tear in my window screen, I just report it to the property manager and like magic, it's fixed. I had a fantastic handyman for the entire time I owned my home. In fact he was so fantastic that he handled all the repairs for the inspection long distance including services that he contracted out (fireplace cleaning, window repair, etc). I wish for every homeowner to have someone like that. It's much easier not to panic when something unexpected goes wrong, or you want to make upgrades that you can't do yourself.
Now, back to life on a rock (had no ideal that #lifeonarock was a hashtag until I moved here). Very simple to put together and earned compliments at a going away BBQ for two co-workers who have taken a job transfer to Calgary. Friends, that is in Canada. 3,085 miles away. In an extremely northerly direction. It is important to celebrate moves and promotions. And as we know, dessert is also important.
Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil and cooking spray (or use a silicone pan - my favorite).
In a large bowl combine cake mix, oil and egg and stir with a spoon until it is combined and crumbly. Stir in peanuts and chocolate chips. Reserve 2 cups of the crumb mixture and press the rest of the bowl into the bottom of the 9x9 pan.
In a small bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter and stir with a spoon until smooth. Pour milk and peanut butter mixture over the base crumb layer. Spoon the reserved 2 cups of crumb mixture over the top of the milk layer.
Bake 25-30 minutes until set. Cool and cut into bars.
The sunset the night of the going away bbq was spectacular.
I think the island was sad to see them go and wanted to give a parting gift.


University IT teams have differing perspectives from the students they serve on the state of cybersecurity, according to a recently released infographic from CDW-G.
The IT solutions company surveyed 250 higher education IT professionals and 300 students, examining their views of cybersecurity and what students expect from their schools versus what IT professionals are able to deliver. The company released the infographic, "Securing Higher Education — It Takes Two," at this year's EDUCAUSE annual conference.
The most surprising statistic, according to Nicci Fagan, director of higher education at CDW-G, was that 91 percent of IT pros who experienced a data breach alerted students — but just 26 percent of students said they were aware of the attack.
Another glaring discrepancy showed that 82 percent of IT pros say they require students to engage in cybersecurity training at least once a year. However, only 35 percent of students said that was required of them.
Jordan Cohen, a student intern at CDW-G who currently attends Rutgers University, added that students get their news from multiple sources and on several platforms.
Fagan said that along with shoring up communications strategies, colleges and universities also need to offer ongoing training for students and educate them about the type of cyberattacks that can occur and what they can do to minimize or prevent them.
"Just like you have students going through orientation every year … it should be part of the university's communication plan in terms of how they're addressing cybersecurity for their students and how students are taking accountability for their own cybersecurity," she said.
Sixty percent of institutions have experienced a data breach in the last year, according to the research, and 29 percent have experienced data loss. The most common breaches were malware attacks, followed by phishing attempts and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Fagan said IT professionals are trying to combat breaches through network segmentation and advanced threat protection, among other methods.
CDW-G works with about 3,000 higher education institutions across the country, and the company is a frequent presence at EDUCAUSE.
"I think exactly what we're talking about continues to be the No. 1 issue: information security and helping customers navigate the opportunities that are out there," Fagan said, echoing what EDUCAUSE leaders also pinpointed as the top issue in higher ed IT today.
Cohen, a history major, said he is involved with cybersecurity efforts at his school and through CDW-G because it has a direct impact on him and his peers.


Mumbai: The rupee rose on speculation exporters will convert overseas earnings into local currency, boosting the supply of dollars in the financial market.
Companies with overseas income may seek to exchange the greenback for rupees after the Indian currency snapped a three-month rally to retreat 0.6% since 30 November. A weaker rupee boosts the value of export earnings.
India's overseas sales rose 18% in November from a year ago, gaining for the first time in 14 months, according to data provided last week by trade secretary Rahul Khullar.
Exporters are expected to sell their dollars as currency levels look good for them to do so, said Vikas Babu, a foreign-exchange trader at state-owned Andhra Bank in Mumbai. The rupee may get some support from such sales.
The rupee climbed 0.1% to 46.82 per dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency is Asia's best performer this quarter with a 2.8% gain and has advanced 4.2% in 2009.
Offshore contracts indicate bets the rupee will trade at 46.84 per dollar in a month, compared with expectations of 46.94 on Monday.
Forwards are agreements in which assets are bought and sold at current prices for future delivery.
Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars rather than the local currency.

Avid explorer of both Edinburgh and Manchester.
Published July 5th 2019
Explore a different side to Edinburgh
Leith has long been an iconic neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Once the historic maritime centre of the city, Leith might have left its shipping past behind, but the area still remains a bustling and popular area for restaurants, bars and shops aplenty.
With its unique charm and distinct, vibrant neighbourhood feel, Leith continues to grow in popularity. Having recently been named one of the world's 'coolest neighbourhoods', Leith is home to an eclectic and exciting array of local haunts and its own unique, independent feel.
If you're tired of the usual tourist destinations or just want to see a bit of a different side to the city, heading for a day out in Leith will serve you well.
Here's how to spend an afternoon in Leith.
Street art in Leith, Edinburgh
Stroll Along the Shore
Situated at the mouth of the Water of Leith, The Shore was once the beating heart of industry in Edinburgh. Fast-forward to the present day and you'll now find an area bustling with great bars, restaurants, cafes and shops.
Not only is there tons going on in The Shore, it's also a beautiful spot distinctly unique from the rest of the city.
The Shore, Edinburgh
Before indulging in the food and drink spots along the Shore, first soak up the feel of the area by enjoying a short stroll along its waters. You'll likely find some feathered friends in the form of ducks and swans swimming by. On a still day you'll also get some amazing reflections of the building fronts on the water's face.
Stop off for some caffeine and culture at Custom Lane
On the Shore front you'll find Custom Lane, a collaborative centre celebrating and supporting world-class design in Scotland.
Custom Lane comprises of a café, shop, gallery, event space, workshop space and collaborative office space – of which the coffee shop, Williams and Johnson, offers up some of the best coffee in Leith.
This is one of my favourite spots to stop off, enjoy a cup of something warm and have a little nosey around the exhibitions and shops.
Displaying some off the best and freshest creative talent in Scotland, you'll easily whittle away an hour or so exploring the delights of Custom Lane.
Entry is completely free, so no need to book ahead!
Custom Lane, Leith
Soak up more Scottish design at the Scottish Design Exchange
If art and design is your thing then you'll feel right at home in Leith.
Just down the road from The Shore you'll find the Scottish Design Exchange located at Ocean Terminal.
The Scottish Design Exchange is the perfect spot to scout out and shop for some gorgeous new trinkets and treasures. The Exchange is owned and run by a group of artists who aim to show off the diversity of local artistic Scottish talent. You'll find everything from textiles, ceramics, musicians to jewellery.
Every penny made goes back to the artists who have made the work with the aim of boosting the local economy and bucking current retail trends making this a great spot for supporting local and independent artists.
Pick up a treat or two at Leith Market
Every Saturday between 10am-4pm the Leith Market opens for business. Here, you'll find stalls full to the brim of everything from pastries, meats, speciality coffee, kid's clothing, picture framers, candles to organic fruit and veg. You can certainly find a treat or two at Leith Market!
On the first Saturday of each month the market also plays host to its very own Vegan Quarter on top of its lot of usual traders.
Indulge in Leith's local eateries
There are plenty of local gems for foodie fans to discover in Leith.
From The King's Wark located on The Shore, which offers up classic British dishes with a modern twist, to renowned Scottish chef Tom Kitchin's 'The Kitchin', a stylish converted former whisky warehouse, which offers up the best of Scottish produces with a French twist.
If a good steak is your dish of choice head to the Chop House on Constitution Street. Here, you'll find a meat menu to be unrivalled served up in chic surroundings.
If you're looking for something slightly more low key then why not try out East Pizzas? A newbie to the foodie scene in Leith, East Pizzas serve up delicious Scottish sourdough pizza.
Time for a tipple
If you're making a night of it there are loads of great bars and taprooms to visit whilst in Leith.
Stewart's Dockside Tap is a beer lover's haven. With ten taps of rotating beer, there's always something on offer to suit everyone's tastes. Plus, with vintage video games on offer, what's not to love?
Alternatively, situated unassumingly in the middle of an industrial estate, you'll find Campervan Brewery. With all its craft beers brewed on site in the tap house, Campervan offers a wide range of top-notch beers at a reasonable price.
What's more, Campervan usually has street food trucks parked up outside, meaning you can enjoy a bite to eat whilst sampling the beers. Expect the delights of everything from Neapolitan pizza to kebabs.
Campervan Brewery, Leith
Sample some of Leith's local Street Food
Leith's pioneering street food venue The Pitt Market is open seasonally on Fridays and Saturdays.
After taking a break in the winter they have now returned with an amazing new space which includes a sizeable new inside space which is fully sheltered, as well as their original outside yard. The new space is great for the unpredictable Scottish weather.
Sample some of Scotland's finest street food with the likes of Wanderers Kneaded who cook up Neapolitan wood fired pizza, Barnacles & Bones who serve up quality shellfish, plus everything from burgers to gelato.
If all that scoffing gets you thirsty you'll find plenty of watering holes to hit the spot. Edinburgh based brewers, Barney's Beer make an appearance every week to offer up a great selection of beer. You can also expect to see the likes of Edinburgh based wine merchants Smith & Gertrude bringing a selection of their best wines.
The Pitt Market is the perfect place to head and hang out on those sunny days to enjoy a great food, drink and live music. They even have their very own fire pits to keep you warm as the sun goes down!
The fire pits and the Pitt market
Unwind in the Links
After sampling the delights of Leith's local eating and drinking spots chances are you're ready for a relax. Where better to sit and watch the world go by than Leith Links?
The Links are Leith's largest open green space complete with charming tree-lined avenues and walkways.
A space enjoyed by the whole community, expect to find walkers, joggers, ball kickers, picnickers, and those just looking to soak up the beautiful surrounds. It's the perfect spot to enjoy peace and quiet in the heart of a bustling neighbourhood.

Q: Why on assigning fields in structures in C I get rubbish characters? PREFACE
Hello,
I'm debugging a piece of code in C that is driving me crazy since one hour. I suspect that the ever-confusing concept of pointers is what kills me here. Consider the following:
int getStatementsByScopId(MYSQL* con, int scopId, Statement* statements){
    char query[200] = "SELECT * FROM Statement";
    char whereClause[100];
    sprintf(whereClause, " WHERE scopId=%d", scopId);
    strcat(query, whereClause);
    if (mysql_query(con, query)){
        finish_with_error(con);
    }
    MYSQL_RES *result = mysql_store_result(con);
    if (result == NULL){
        finish_with_error(con);
    }
    int num_fields = mysql_num_fields(result);
    MYSQL_ROW row;
    int i, j = 0, k, l;
    while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)))
    {
        statements[j].domain = row[1];
        statements[j].name = row[2];
        statements[j].schedule = row[3];
        char* statementId = row[0];
        Access accesses[20];
-->     statements[j].accessCount = getAccessesByStatementId(con, statementId, accesses);
        for(i = 0; i < statements[j].accessCount; i++){
            statements[j].accesses[i] = accesses[i];
        }
        for (k = 0; k < statements[j].accessCount; k++){
            printf("%s\n", statements[j].accesses[k].kind);
            printf("%s\n", statements[j].accesses[k].relation);//WORKS
        }
        j++;
    }
    for(k = 0; k < 3; k++){
        for(l = 0; l < statements[k].accessCount; l++){
            printf("%s\n", statements[k].accesses[l].kind);
            printf("%s\n", statements[k].accesses[l].relation);
        }
    }
    mysql_free_result(result);
    return j;
}

In the while loop, I'm iterating over the results of MySQL query, and assign them to consecutive entries of the statements array. It is passed to the function as a static, 20-element array Statement statements[20]. I'm also assigning another array of structures to each Statement entry, of type Access. The access array is filled up by function getAccessesByStatementId, called at line marked by arrow (it takes the array to fill as an argument).
Here are the definitions of the structs:
typedef struct {
    char* kind;
    char* relation;
}Access;

typedef struct {
    char* domain;
    char* name;
    char* schedule;
    Access accesses[20];
    int accessCount;
}Statement;

THE PROBLEM
The values appear to be assigned correctly if I print them out inside the while loop (marked by \\WORKS comment). Which (I could be wrong) means that the problem does not lie in the getAccessesByStatementId function. I am also sure, that the results returned by the DB interface are 100% correct. However, if I try to do the same just before function exit (outside the while loop), I receive rubbish, random characters, which means that the some (or all) entries result in undefined behavior. Any ideas?

A: The statement struct contains pointers to memory allocated by other code. The function mysql_free_result(result) frees that allocated memory. You should copy the results to your own storage before calling it.

Q: gunicorn with inotify is not noticing changed files with reload I have a Flask app that I'm running for development in a Docker container, using gunicorn (v19.9.0). I've installed the inotify module to see if it's quicker for gunicorn's --reload option than the default polling method, but it doesn't seem to notice file changes.
If I start gunicorn with this:
gunicorn --reload --reload-engine=poll -b 0.0.0.0:5006 wsgi:app --workers=4 --timeout=600

then if I make a change to a python file (like a Flask view), the logs show "Worker reloading" 4 times. Once the workers have rebooted, then when I refresh the page in my browser the code changes are picked up.
But if I specify the inotify reload engine:
gunicorn --reload --reload-engine=inotify -b 0.0.0.0:5006 wsgi:app --workers=4 --timeout=600

and change the contents of files, there's no "Worker reloading" or rebooting in the logs. And when I reload a page, the changes aren't present.
I feel like I've missed something obvious...?


Start a Woodworking Business No Problem - $90,000+ Per Year!
Lets face it… times are tough right now, careful consideration to start a woodworking business may be best. People are losing their jobs and struggling to make ends meet. If you've been thinking about starting a home based business, it needs to be something fun and easy to start.
and the best thing is, you DON'T need to be a professional woodworker or own a huge workshop with expensive machinery to succeed!
Start a Woodworking Business Today!
And if you're like me and you'd prefer to leave risk taking to skydivers and Wall Street goons, then you're in good company.
If you want an easy-to-start business that does NOT require you to fork out an arm and a leg for expensive machinery or tools.
If you want a business that allows you to work from home and gives you more quality time with your family.

If you want a business that you can grow and become a full time thing (if you chose to do so).
If you want a business that you enjoy doing and that would actually be FUN!
My wife thought I was crazy then.
So I started my woodworking business with no capital, a few shop tools, and lots of nerve in a 10 foot by 20 foot space but I grew it into a 1400 foot space as a one-person business within the first year.
The kicker is, I was NO "expert" woodworker; far from it.
In fact, I do not even own a huge garage! Really, the hardest part was understanding how to turn a hobby into a real business that made money.
Here's the thing… having no one to help me get started, I made costly mistakes and learned enough from them to make my entire living from woodworking for more than 15 years.
Now, keep in mind that you will have the advantage over me when I started. I had to figure everything out all on my own and I did make a few mistakes my first year in business.
Yet I still earned over $150,800 in sales that first year working only part-time about 20 hours per week.
You don't have to suffer through the painful mistakes I've made because I will show you how YOU can avoid them and start a profitable woodworking business from Day 1.
You see, I've helped hundreds of woodworkers start and run a profitable woodworking business from home and I can help you too.
I call this a Home Based "Business In A Box" System because it gives you all the information, tools and plans needed to succeed!
You don't need to be an expert woodworker to start this business. With this guide and a willingness to learn, you could soon be enjoying a profitable and enormously satisfying career (or part-time job) doing something you love.
Hundreds of people are putting their strengths to work and doing what they love every day as business owners – with WoodProfits. Now its your turn..
Lets face it... times are tough right now. People are losing their jobs and struggling to make ends meet. If you've been thinking about starting a home based business, it needs to be something fun and easy to start.

We look forward to seeing you on a flower farm in 2019!
Farming and science have always gone hand in hand. But when two biology professors took a summer teaching gig in Alaska, the last thing they expected was to become flower farmers.
Both professors at Miami University in Ohio, they'd spent their honeymoon in Alaska, and had always wanted to go back. So when Jill found out the University of Alaska Fairbanks needed professors to teach summer biology classes, she leapt at the opportunity.
While there, they discovered that researchers at the university had been studying peonies for years. It turns out peonies in Alaska bloom at a time of year when they aren't available anywhere else in the world. Over the past decade or so, as the state explored new agricultural possibilities to potentially replace the oil industry, these popular wedding flowers emerged as a promising crop. Amateur farmers began planting them experimentally—and one of them was the occupant of the office next door.
The following year, upon returning to Fairbanks for the summer term, the Russells found out their office neighbor had presold her entire crop by February. She showed them her business plan and urged them to give it a try.
As scientists do, they started researching. Within a year, they were ready to take the plunge. They bought an old hay farm on 40 acres and planted their first crop in 2013. Boreal Peonies, they decided, would serve a dual purpose as both a production and research facility. Of their 5,700 plants, they would devote 1,600 to science.
Every day they measured the height of their plants and tracked their development. They experimented with soil chemistry in search of the perfect fertilizer. They shared their findings with the local farming community to help their adopted state grow its fledgling peony industry.
Now in their ninth summer teaching in Alaska—and their fifth year growing peonies—the Russells have become permanent residents there, spending the school year teaching in Ohio before returning to Two Rivers for the growing season. With 16,000 production plants and 1,500 research plants, they anticipate harvesting some 40,000 stems this year.
The farming bug has proven infectious. Two of their kids, both grown, and one of their graduate students also spend summers working on the farm—and they spend the rest of the year looking forward to it.
Kelly Burger, graduate student, is spending her summer doing research in Alaska. Her work on boreal peonies focused on the effects of compost tea on peony growth.

Help Make The Floriculture Survey A Success!
The national USDA survey of flower farms that provides the industry with vital information about production and trends, and gauges its economic impact, will be conducted again this year beginning in December.
The survey was not conducted for the last two years due to budgetary constraints at USDA's NASS program. Leaders from the California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC) and a team of farmers from Certified American Grown program flew to Washington, D.C., and met with USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Administrator Hubert Hammer [article link: http://www.americangrownflowers.org/americas-flower-farmers-must-continue-to-lobby-congress/] and members of the U.S. Senate earlier this year to encourage the administration and Congress to reinstate this important annual report.
In February, Farmers met with USDA NASS Administrator Hubert Hammer about their decision to suspend the Annual Floriculture Report. Photo by Nony Pak of Ken Park Photography.
Farmers met with Senator Diane Feinstein to discuss the need to reinstate the funding for the annual floriculture report. The Senator made it one of her top ag priorities in 2018.
CCFC and Certified American Grown also worked in coalition with American Hort and the Society of American Florists to help raise the awareness of this issue on Capitol Hill.
The survey is a census of about 10,000 commercial floriculture operations that annually produce and sell at least $10,000 worth of fresh cut flowers, potted flowering plants, foliage plants, annual bedding and garden plants, herbaceous perennials, cut cultivated florist greens, propagative floriculture material and unfinished plants. Annual sales include retail and wholesale sales.
Last year's delegation of Alaska's flower farmers made a big impression on the team at USDA. So much so, Alaska's flowers will now be counted as a part of the annual floriculture report.
The survey provides the number of farmers, area of production, quantity sold, percent of sales at wholesale, wholesale prices, wholesale value of production for floriculture commodities and average number of agricultural workers per farm or ranch.
USDA NASS Administrator Hubert Hammer speaking to America's flower farmers during last year's fly-in in February.
The USDA first started collecting data on the nation's floriculture industry in 1956. The report, called the Commercial Floriculture Survey, has grown to cover six floriculture categories in the 17 main flower-producing states and more than 50 separate crops.
NASS says the survey provides an important snapshot of the industry and helps growers plan for the future.

Dobbe is the chair of the CCFC's governmental affairs committee and a member of the Certified American Grown Council.
Last year's team of flower famers who were responsible for elevating the issue for reinstating the annual floriculture report directly to USDA NASS officials and worked with members of Congress to help secure the funding necessary for its reinstatement.
NASS will collect data from growers by mail, phone, online and through personal interviews. The Commercial Floriculture Survey will be mailed to farms on Dec. 14. Enumerators from NASS will be visiting farms and calling farmers to help complete the survey from Dec. 31 through Feb. 8.
Consider joining your fellow flower farmers in Washington, D.C. in 2019. Join this powerful delegation of voices who are making a difference for America's flower farmers.
The reference period is the preceding year. The data will be published in the Floriculture Crops report on May 8, 2019.
The information provided by growers will be used for statistical purposes only and no identifying details of respondents will be disclosed.
In the last survey, which covered 2015, the nation's total floriculture crop value was estimated at $4.37 billion, up from $4.20 billion for 2014. California was the leading producer with 685 operations producing crops valued at $1.08 billion, followed by Florida at $1.03 billion. Those two states accounted for 49 percent of the nation's floriculture crop value. Rounding out the top five states were Michigan, North Carolina and Ohio.
This Year's Visit Is Critical!
Year after year, we're reminded of the importance of the face-to-face meetings we have during the annual flower farmer fly-in to Washington, D.C.
Our past efforts have netted the reinstatement of the national USDA survey of flower farms, inroads on bringing American Grown Flowers to the White House, expansion of the Cut Flower Caucus and strong relationships with policymakers.
These things happen because we're there. Flower farmers are seen and heard. They share their stories. They give policymakers a name and face to remember.
It's serious business. And it works.
Which is why we're asking flower farmers to join us February 26-28, 2019, for our upcoming fly-in.
This is your opportunity to advocate for the work you do and its impact on the economy. It's your chance to explain how policies from D.C. affect real farmers and their families. And it's your opening to help make something big happen for flower farmers – like it did with the reinstatement of the farm survey.
The Commercial Floriculture survey, arriving in your mailbox very soon, had not been conducted for the past two years due to budgetary constraints at USDA's NASS program. But after leaders from Certified American Grown program flew to Washington, D.C., and met with USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Administrator Hubert Hammer and members of the U.S. Senate, the report was reinstated.
We were heard. And there are other big issues we need to lend our collective voices to.
Let us know you'd like to join the delegation by emailing Andrea Philpot at andrea@americangrownflowers.org.
And be sure to participate in the Commercial Floriculture Survey, being mailed to farms on Dec. 14.
NASS will be collecting data from growers by mail, phone, online and through personal interviews. Enumerators from NASS will be visiting farms and calling farmers to help complete the survey from Dec. 31 through Feb. 8.
Your participation provides our farms and the larger industry with data that shows just how valuable our farms and flowers are to communities and to the economy.
Just one more way to be heard.

As Billy Graham's granddaughter and a proud evangelical, I worry for our country under Trump
AmericaNews
By Islam Religion Guardian Last updated Sep 2, 2020
His legacy and accomplishments are impressive; his character and wisdom like no one this world will see again. He has sold millions of books and preached the gospel to over 2 billion people — but to me, the most important role he played was that I got to call him "Daddy Bill."
Growing up as the granddaughter of Billy Graham was a privilege for many reasons. For me, the greatest privilege was to have a behind-the-scenes look at a man who had a very public platform. There was no difference between the public Billy Graham and our Daddy Bill. This was a man who would field calls from the president just before coming to my elementary school's Thanksgiving Day program to watch me perform. He was very present as a grandfather, and for over two decades he led me to believe that I was his favorite grandchild. (I would later find out he told this to all of the grandkids.) Most importantly, he taught me by example what it looks like to do things justly, to love mercy, and to proceed humbly.
Politics are polarizing and personal, and — although my grandfather largely stayed out of them — he taught me to be unashamed of my convictions. His life gave me the platform to do just that. It is obvious to any American that our country is in a dark and divided place. This place, I feel, would hurt the heart of my grandfather because I believe the state of our nation also hurts the heart of our Lord. I want my heart to break for what breaks His heart. I want your heart to break for what breaks His heart.

BREAKING: Senate Bows To Pressure, Says INEC Can Transmit Election Results Electronically
The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill to rescind its decision which subjected the Independent National Electoral Commission to seek approval from the Nigerian Communications Commission before it could transmit elections results electronically.
The upper chamber also voted in support of the conduct of party primaries only by a direct method.
The Bill is titled, "Recommittal of amended clauses of a Bill for an Act to repeal the Electoral Bill 2021 and enact the Electoral Act 2021."
The Senate had in July, during consideration of a report on 2010 Electoral Act ( Amendment ) Bill 2021 submitted by its Committee on INEC, amended clause 52(3) as recommended.
While the clause as presented by the committee in the report says INEC can transmit election results electronically where and when practicable, the Senate passed the amended version which says "INEC can transmit election results electronically subject to confirmation of the NCC based on adequacy and security of National Network.
The House of Representatives at the time, adopted the clause as originally recommended by committees of both Chambers on INEC.
Consequently, the Senate has been in the eye of the storm which made it make the amendment.
Clause 52: has to do with the conduct of a poll by open secret ballot.
Sub section (2) now reads, "Subject to section 63 of this Bill, voting at an election and transmission of results under this Bill shall be in accordance with the procedure determined by the Commission, (INEC) which may include electronic voting."
The Senate in approving direct primary for political parties amended clause 87 which allowed for either direct or indirect primaries.
Clause 87 has to do with the nomination of candidates by parties.
It now reads, "Clause 87. (1) "A political party seeking to nominate candidates for elections under this Bill shall hold direct primaries for aspirants to all elective positions, which shall be monitored by the Commission."

In line with his administration's commitment to Traffic Management and Transportation, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has acquired two sets of new 10 cars Talgo 330kmph trains for the Lagos Red Line rail project.
Governor Sanwo-Olu completed the acquisition deal of the trains at a public event inside the Milwaukee facilities of Spanish train manufacturer Talgo Incorporated in the United States, on Tuesday.
The trains will be heading to Lagos, Nigeria for the Red Line, a 37 km track rail project started by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. The red line will have 11 stations and when completed, it will be the first operational metro system in West Africa.
Speaking at the event, Governor Sanwo-Olu, who was accompanied by the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde; Special Adviser to the Governor on Works, Engr. Aramide Adeyoye and Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Engr. Abimbola Akinajo, said Lagos State Government is excited to complete the purchase of the two brand new trains.
He said they were in Milwaukee to see things for themselves in respect of the purchase of the trains, adding that they have inspected the trains, seen their configuration, and are satisfied that they fit into the tracks of the Redline in Lagos.
"A train is not something you can just go on the shelf and pick up. We are very lucky to get brand new trains. We have seen our beautiful white and red trains. Coincidentally, the rail line is called Red Line and you can see they have given us the colour. We are just going to brand it and put up our seal there.
"We hope that this (purchase of the trains) will be the beginning of a mutually beneficial business relationship. Providing source of livelihood for our citizens is all about providing jobs for our people and that is what we are doing. It is about ensuring that we can build our economy; people can move from one location to another and businesses can grow.
"Part of what we have done in the last two and half years is to have what we call Integrated Urban Mass transportation system, where we will be using road infrastructure, waterway infrastructure and rail infrastructure so that we can move over 20 million Lagosians within and around the city," he said.
The acting Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, who received Governor Sanwo-Olu in the city, said: "It is a little bittersweet. I am sending my congratulations to the Governor of Lagos State in Nigeria, but also a little disappointed that we missed out on the opportunity to have those train sets operating here in Milwaukee and in Wisconsin."
Also speaking the CEO and President, Talgo USA Antonio Perez, said "For us, it is important that our trains are utilized. It doesn't make any good for the trains that we built to be stored and kept without passengers riding them."
Governor Sanwo-Olu accompanied by the Lagos State delegation during the visit inspected the interior design of the newly acquired Talgo 330kmph intra-city metropolitan trains.
Since the commencement of his administration on May 29, 2019, Governor Sanwo-Olu has maintained his administration's commitment to bringing the Red Line project to fruition during the lifetime of his government.
The Governor has specifically promised Lagosians that the first phase of the Red Line will begin by the last quarter of 2022 or the first quarter of 2023, with a capacity of 500,000 passengers daily.
David Adeleke, better known as Davido, a multi-award-winning Nigerian singer, has slammed his cousin, Dele Adeleke, for his bid for governor of Osun State.
This time, the musician chastised the politician for mentioning his (Davido's) mother's death in a story about his political ambitions.
Davido mentioned in a series of tweets on Wednesday that his cousin hired individuals to write about him (Davido), but he didn't seem to mind.
However, the singer noted that his mother raised his cousin, yet the latter wrote about his death.
"Because of your ambition, you have your people write about me (which I don't care about) but to include the death of my mother in an article; the same woman that raised you. Ok Dele, God will reward you," Davido tweeted.
The Aye crooner noted that Dele Adeleke also stoop so low to mention the name of another family member, whom Davido simply described as 'Aunty Vero.'
He said, "The truth hurt you that much you had to go that low to mention your Aunty Vero that cared for you. Well, I don open my crase for the year (sic). Stay tuned."
Davido had on Tuesday called out Dele Adeleke for eyeing the governorship seat of Osun State, a position which his uncle, Senator Ademola Adeleke, was also interested in.
A High Court in Abia State has ordered the Federal Government to pay N1 billion to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, as well as write him a letter of apology.
Kanu has petitioned the court for N5 billion in compensation for the military's raid of his father's home on September 10, 2017.
In a ruling on Wednesday, according to his lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, the Court presided over by Justice Benson Anya stated that the Federal Government violated the IPOB leader's fundamental rights.
The Court also recommended a political solution to the agitation for the restoration of the defunct Biafra Republic championed by IPOB.
Kanu's lawyer made this known in a tweet, saying, "Mazi Nnamdi Kanu WINS as Abia High Court rules that the Federal Government violated his fundamental rights. Orders the Federal government to pay N1b to him and issue a letter of apology to him.
"Most importantly, the Court recommended political solution to the #Biafran agitation."


Kasym brings the long-bladed knife up so Chloe can see the orange glow of the passing streetlamps reflected in the polished steel. The move works. It usually does. She becomes completely still. Sarah, Chloe's mother, stares open-mouthed at the blade. It has a very narrow tip and glints viciously along its stone-whetted edge.
So begins the kidnapping that plunges Gabriel Wolfe into a search and rescue mission in the Baltic state of Estonia. But there is more at stake than the lives of two British tourists. Someone is tinkering with a performance-enhancing drug designed to help British fighter pilots exploit the potential of the Typhoon fighter.
Caught between Russian mafia bosses and Chechen terrorists, Gabriel has to find the hostages before the crowds at the Farnborough Airshow witness a jet fighter flown into the ground at 900 mph by its hallucinating pilot.
The mission calls for street-fighting skills, military strategy and a stint undercover as a doorman for Jonny Rocketz, a sleazy bar in Talinn's red light district. Gabriel is up for the challenge, but he's still carrying guilt for leaving a comrade's body behind in his last, disastrous mission for the SAS. Will it overwhelm him just when he needs to be at his most focused?
This is the second full-length outing for Gabriel Wolfe, former SAS soldier and freelance security consultant. If you like your action heroes to have an intriguing back story alongside their military chops, he's the man for you.
Gripping. Love the twists & turns. Painful insights into PTSD and moments of enjoyable details. Good listen. Sadly put of by comments on next in series narrator? why change?
Had a good story line,and very imaginable in the actions taken. Not too highly flourish.
Fabulous book. Fast paced, great story line and thrilling end. Perfect for a long drive on audio. I was captivated and Gabriel Wolfe is firmly now a favourite action hero of mine.
really good read and exciting story line. I liked the different characters and stroty line.
Another great Gabriel Wolfe story where we get to know him better as well as following the twists and turns of his latest mission. The narration is excellent and really adds to the enjoyment.
I've listened to a few books narrated by Gethyn Edwards and this fastly became one of my favorites. He performed this book with fantastic emotion, authentic accents and great emotion. He's amazing.
This book was like a thrill ride. The author captured my attention immediately and took me on a exciting ride. This book appeals to men and women and I highly recommend it.

Awardee Events
Paul Shambroom's new book and Kickstarter (ends April 2, please help support this and get a book!)
Creative Capitol awardee Paul Shambroom is publishing a new book l this summer Past Time: Troubled Visions of the Good Old Days. "I'm proud and excited to launch the Kickstarter for this book! Four years in the making, it is the culmination of road trips across America in search of the visual origins of 'the good old days.' My Kickstarter campaign ends on April 2, and while we mare more than halfway to the goal with 100+ backers, there is a long way go. Kickstarter is all or nothing- if the goal is not met no funds are collected or dispersed. Please consider backing it- for $70 you will get an early copy of the book, and higher levels come with signed limited edition prints. You can pledge amounts under that too, anything will help.
This deluxe 108 page volume will feature 64 original photographs and 16 vintage illustrations, movie and TV stills. It will have a foil-stamped cloth cover and spine that references post-WW2 reading primers, two gatefolds, printed endpapers, and high quality paper with spot varnish for the photographs. Higher award levels include a signed volume in a custom foil-stamped clamshell box.
During the campaign leading up to the 2016 election, Donald Trump surprised virtually everyone and started to appear as a viable candidate. The expression "Make America Great Again" was in the air. I was asking myself, where did we get this idea of what America looked like when it was supposedly great? I was interested in photographing contemporary life in places that may have been formative in how we think of the good old days.
Where did the visual touchstones of a serene, prosperous and homogenous America in the last half of the 20th -century come from? Artists, entertainers and entrepreneurs helped establish the myth of "normalcy" of the white middle-class nuclear family in post-WWII America. For example- Norman Rockwell's clever paintings of small town life on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, Andy Griffith's weekly televised morality tales in the fictional town of Mayberry, Frank Capra's tortured but loveable banker hero George Baily being rescued by the fictional town's citizens (and a watchful angel), Walt Disney's replication of his fondly remembered Missouri town as feel-good " main streets" in theme parks.
While these representations served to help many Americans feel good about themselves, and give others in the US and around the world something to aspire to, they also fostered resentment and a sense of separation at home and abroad. What is now thought of as the "good old days" may not have been so good for those outside the privileged demographic of that time, before the full flowering of the civil rights, feminist, and LGBTQ advancements that are once again under threat. Marginalized Americans were rarely seen in the films, TV and illustrated children's books of the 1950s and 60s.
I've spent the last four years photographing places in America that were formative to those who shaped our notions of the good old days. I've spent time in twenty selected communities around the country. I avoided the tourist spots (such as the museums dedicated to the famous resident), and simply walked around, met people and photographed the contemporary life I came across.
Why Kickstarter? Fine-art photography books are expensive to produce, and (with rare exceptions) require outside funding to make them (relatively) affordable for regular people. I raised funds from foundations and non-profit organizations for my two previous monographs "Face to Face With the Bomb…" in 2003, and "Meetings" in 2004. I've funded the photography and editing phases of this project with university and state research grants, as well as my own money. I care deeply about the issues underlying this work, and want the final product to be beautiful, compelling, and play a role in public discourse. We have decided to use Kickstarter to put this over the finish line because it is efficient and works; and most importantly- it puts the books in the hands of people who really want them, and who I really want to have them.

Q: NLog AspNetSession Layout Renderer - Getting value from strongly typed object in session We are using .NET Core and have extended ISession to allow us to store strongly typed objects as a single item in Session. The code to do that is simple (just so you have an idea):
public static void SetObject<T>(this ISession session, string key, T value)
{
 session.SetString(key, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value));
}

Now I'd love to use NLog's AspNetSession layout renderer to try to get the value of one of the properties on the strongly typed object that is in session.
In the NLog config file, I've tried to access a property like this:
${aspnet-session:Variable=UserSessionValidationInfo.MstrUserID:EvaluateAsNestedProperties=true}

Where "UserSessionValidationInfo" is the key name for the object we stuck in Session and MstrUserID is the property name.
Nothing is returned.
I assume this won't be possible, but I was hopeful, based on the example that was provided here: https://github.com/NLog/NLog/wiki/AspNetSession-layout-renderer
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Would I need to write a custom layout renderer?
