Being situated at the base of a waterfall, in the lap of lush green forest, it becomes a perfect destination to enjoy after a hectic week and find solace in.
The best time to plan and visit this place, to experience the beauty in full bloom, is in the monsoon season. These caves are holding several specimens of Buddhist architecture like vihara sculptures, chaitya, and stupas.
2. The Jain temples– Places To Visit In Karjat
An architectural marvel carved out of white marble, this beautiful passage is decorated with carvings of sacred figures which symbolize the beliefs and devotions of the Jain community. The staircase that will take you up to the temple is designed using multi-colored stone, making it a wonder to gauge while climbing the stairs.
This Jain temple is built in honor of Lord Neminath, the 22nd Jain Tirthankar, and also Lord Shantinath, the 16th Jain Tirthankar. Their beautifully decorated idols are placed in the temple and they look breathtaking.
3. Kothaligad Fort
The Kothaligad Fort is situated in the eastern part of Karjat and is a must-visit among all the places to visit in Karjat. The fort here is in a conical shape and has a temple and a cave at its foothill. The beautiful view from here, which covers the whole Konkan field, the Bhimashankar ghats, Padar Killa, Tungi, Wandre, and the whole Matheran range, is just mesmerizing and something which you can't miss out on.

It is quite uncommon that you can get such an astonishing view after a simple climb, therefore making Kothaligad an extraordinary tourist spot. You can visit the fort both in the rainy and in the winter season, yet it is advisable to come after the rainy season when there is no visibility issue. Therefore, if you are a trekking freak, Kothaligad is one of the most popular treks in the Karjat region, due to its little stature and simple climbing.

The New York Mets' sweep of the Chicago Cubs earned TBS another No. 1 ranking on cable, though Game 4 of the National League Championship series wasn't quite as highly rated as Tuesday's Game 3.
Also Wednesday, "American Horror Story: Hotel" drew a 1.7 in adults 18-49 for FX, down from 2.2 a week ago. "South Park" scored a 0.8. Farther down the list, a "Back to the Future Part II" showing on Discovery Family — on Back to the Future Day — drew a 0.4 and 655,000 viewers.


Shortly after market opening on Tuesday morning, Dow Jones' Newswires – the news service best known for publishing market statistics on the Dow Jones ticker where it announces news from the financial sector – published a series of fake headlines, raising concerns that it had been hacked.
Such headlines published that morning included: "DJ Google to buy Apple for $9 billion", "DJ UPDATE: Google, Apple Join to Create Tech Giant", "DJ Google Says Steve Jobs Suggested this in His Will." and "DJ Google Says Yay".
Dow Jones' Senior Director of Communications, Steve Severinghaus, blamed a "technical error" for the erroneous publishings later on Tuesday. Severinghaus' press release stated, "Please disregard the headlines that ran on Dow Jones Newswires between 9:34am ET and 9:36am ET. Due to a technical error, the headlines were published. All of those headlines are being removed from the wires,".
As Apple Inc. has a market capitalization of almost USD$800 billion, it's likely that any bid would be rejected. Furthermore, Google would never have been the bidder, as its parent company, Alphabet would be the one that facilitates any takeover bids.
How Did This News Impact the Markets?
Although the news was removed after just two minutes, it managed to raise the value of Apple shares for a short time.
The chart above clearly shows the spike. On October 10, the price closed at 155.72 During the next day it spiked up, going through the 156.00 resistance, reaching 156.95 and then finally closed higher than the previous day at 156.45. Afterwards saw a period of 'buying the dip', as you can also clearly see.
So, What Caused This to Happen?
Many who were following this news would be forgiven for thinking, even for a second, that the Dow Jones had been hacked. However, Severinghauss moved to dismiss this news quickly, stating, "We absolutely were not hacked."
According to Forbes.com as the 2013 AP Twitter hack shows, the high frequency trading systems designed by investment firms often comb through social media to analyse millions of tweets from news and industry leaders to gauge market sentiment. They use machine learning to try and weed out unreliable sources. However, these systems are not perfect and can still fall victim to the same misinformation as us humans.
Financial news can be used as pump-and-dump action for penny stocks. In 2014, investors noticed that Cynk Technology – which trades over the counter at four cents a share currently – had jumped in value by over 25,000%, without producing any revenue or having any employees. At one point, shares were topping $20 and the company had a $6 billion market cap. Its market cap today is $11.6 million.
For some traders this can be extremely profitable, but for others it's also, very very risky too.
Don't forget to keep your eyes on news coming from the wider industry. Events like this show that even with fake news, there might be an opportunity to make some return on your investment, if you are positioned on the right side of the market.

The Simple Reason Why Randy Moss Is The Best WR In NFL History
It's all about picking sides.
Mike Greitzer Dec 19, 2019
From NFL history, you have one receiver to put on your football team. You pick Randy Moss. So does everybody else.
Former Minnesota Viking Randy Moss was the tallest, fastest, and most dangerous wide receiver in the history of the game.
If Moss didn't have the best hands in the game, please tell me who did. Also tell me who could run 25 miles an hour, keep those hands low and then hop them up for a fingers catch over track champions and career-long double-teams.
I did not say Moss was the 'greatest'. Greatness is an overused word for a higher argument. For example, I consider Walter Payton to be the greatest football player I've ever seen, but not the best running back.
'Best' is defined as:
1) As an adjective: of the most excellent, effective, or desirable type or quality.
2) As a noun: that which is the most excellent, outstanding, or desirable.
——— *Editor's Note: This article comes from 'The V61' (vikings61.com) a new website devoted to news, analysis, and history of the Minnesota Vikings! Bookmark The V61 (friend and partner of Vikings Territory and Purple PTSD) and follow them on Twitter and Facebook here! ———–
The Simple Reason=The Simple Question
Imagine a symposium of the NFL's greatest coaches. Vince Lombardi, Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick, and finally, Bill Walsh.
Ask them–in a hypothetical retrospect–who they would choose if they had one choice of ONE wide receiver to put on their team, Jerry Rice or Randy Moss. They can't have both.
Let them judge by ten years of performance, rookie season to age 30, but put both men at their prime athletic age of, say, 22-25.
All team variables are constant. This means the quarterback is someone like Rich Gannon or Daunte Culpepper. Neither receiver has ever played with either quarterback, and the season starts in a few months. The 'team' has a good running game, good defense, good special teams, or if you'd like, is poor in all three regards.
I truly believe that each one of those coaches hardly hesitates (except Mr. Walsh, who is slightly reluctant) before answering:
"Randy Moss."
Thank you, good night.
On Passion And Paper
It is certainly true that Jerry Rice owns every record worth keeping in the big wide-receiver book. Most receiving yards, most receiving touchdowns, receptions, etc. It's also likely they don't get touched in our lifetime and beyond. Rice's twenty years in the league are extraordinary, his work ethic is legendary, and his place on NFL's Mount Rushmore is carved in stone.
To most of the world, RICE is the GOAT.
However, that didn't stop Randy Moss, at the end of his last season in the NFL in 2013, from immodestly confessing that he thought he was the best to ever to play the game at the wide receiver position.
Instantly, Moss had reaffirmed his status as a villain to fans and press alike.
Jerry Rice himself even offered an opinion on Moss' statement later that year:
"I still say this today — I think Randy Moss was the most talented (wide receiver). I was not the most talented, but I was going to outwork you. He's (Moss) 6-5, could run a 4.3. Could outjump you. Struck fear in the heart of the defense. But you have to have it here, in your heart."
These comments were one, pretty convincing testimony that Moss truly was the best, and two, perplexing in Rice's sentimental conclusion.
Was Jerry actually telling us that Randy Moss, who played for 14 seasons, had 982 receptions for 15,292 yards and was second only to Rice himself with 156 touchdowns, didn't have heart?
As Coach Mike Ditka would say, "who you crappin'?"
To the point of things, Rice continued:
"I know he (Moss) says you can't bring the stats into the scenario, but I think that's part of being the best receiver to play the game. Also, you put my numbers up against Randy's , and my body of work compared to his, and there's a big difference."
So let's compare that body of work, for clarity, and perhaps to the peril of my argument.
Jerry Rice ended his career at age 42 with 208 touchdowns. 159 of those touchdowns were thrown by legendary Hall-of Famers Joe Montana and Steve Young. Randy Moss ended his career at age 35 with 156 TDs, of which only 40 were delivered by legendary future HOFer Tom Brady.
Debating the best players of NFL history through statistics can be an icy path. Does anyone consider Emmitt Smith the best running back to ever play the game? Of course not, though he clearly wears the belt on paper.

qckappa says:
It was incredible to watch the plays with Moss. If only the Wilfs had been the owners then along with Spielman helping Green. The Vikings might have won multiple championships. The team was very offensively talented & needed 2 or 3 defensive playmakers to be dynastic. Oh well.

U.S. businesses partner with ChildFund to deliver in-demand supplies to fight Ebola
Home > Learn More > Media Center > U.S. businesses partner with ChildFund to deliver in-demand supplies to fight Ebola
Contact: Betsy Edwards
BEdwards@ChildFund.org
RICHMOND, Va. (Nov. 19, 2014) – ChildFund International sent its third flight carrying critically needed medical supplies – this time to Sierra Leone – to directly support ChildFund's Kelekula Interim Care Center (KICC) for children affected by Ebola. ChildFund was the first organization to open an interim care center for children in Liberia and has expanded the centers to Sierra Leone. Kelekula means "willing heart" in the Kpelle language.
The flight included generous donations from several companies and nonprofit partners. Kaz USA, Inc., a manufacturer of Braun thermometers, donated non-contact thermometers. Non-contact thermometers have been referred to as the "unicorn" of the Ebola crisis, because they are among the most in-demand pieces of equipment for detection of Ebola.
"In addition to medical protection gear, we're seeking a range of supplies that will help contain the spread of the Ebola virus. This includes thermometers for hospitals and clinics to use in detecting fever, an early sign of infection," says Billy Abimbilla, ChildFund's national director for Liberia and Sierra Leone. "Digital stick thermometers and others requiring skin contact are discarded after each use, which is why non-contact thermometers, such as these from Braun, are in such high demand."
Procter & Gamble not only supplied funding to support the development of the KICCs, but also donated Duracell batteries to keep the thermometers running.
The DripDrop Foundation donated the first good-tasting, medical-grade oral rehydration solution to help combat dehydration.
MedShare donated enough hospital beds to support an entire KICC facility.
The transport of these supplies is possible because of ChildFund's other nonprofit partners, AIRLINK and GotLift.
To learn more about ChildFund's response to the Ebola crisis, please visit www.ChildFund.org/Ebola_emergency.
ChildFund International is a global child development and protection agency serving more than 18.2 million children and family members in 30 countries. For 75 years, we have helped the world's deprived, excluded and vulnerable children survive and thrive to reach their full potential and become leaders of enduring change. As a member of ChildFund Alliance, we create supportive environments in which children can flourish. For more information about ChildFund, visit www.ChildFund.org.

The York Rite
Joining Mark
Thread starter Scoops
As an English mason I know it's not exactly York Rite but this seemed the most appropriate place.
Having decided to further my masonic career, this Tuesday I shall be advanced to the degree of Mark Master Mason in Ashlar Lodge #1090, Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons.
I'm really looking forward to what my father in law describes as the fun degree and a couple of the brethren I shall be joining have described as a tale of middle management and how to pass the buck. That last one really piqued my interest and I'm sure it will be really enlightening!

A wonderful degree and a joy to perform. One of my favourites.
You'll have a blast! Enjoy the evening.
Bloke
The Mark Master degree is, in fact, a part of the York Rite in the USA. It is conferred in Royal Arch Chapters.
MarkR said:
Yep. I very much enjoy the York Rite. Have fun with the Mark Master degree Brother.
Warrior1256 said:
congratulations. The moral lesson is well presented.
Companion Joe
I can't speak for what the degree work is like in England, but here it is a not a "fun" degree. I don't get anything about middle management or passing the buck. The Mark Master degree, to me, is the best in all of Freemasonry. If the world lived up to the lessons it teaches - I can think of at least four - we'd be a lot better off.

When I told the Brother to have "fun" with the Mark Master degree I simply meant for him to enjoy it. I meant no disrespect. The Mark Master degree, along with other degrees in the York Rite, are very near and dear to my heart.
Understood. Mark, you might be interested to hear that Victoria has its own Sovereign Body (Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons), just as Chapter does (Supreme Chapter). We also have 3 EC Lodges here, Craft, Combermere Lodge No. 752 www.combermere.org.au which also has a Mark and Chapter associated with it.
Reactions: David612, Warrior1256 and MarkR
Thank you very much for the kind words. The ceremony is in a couple of hours and I'm very excited!
The ceremony is in a couple of hours and I'm very excited!
Make sure to let us know how it went.
Wow, what a night! Certainly different experience to the Craft degrees.
The ceremony was entertaining, relaxed, friendly and edifying. I've plenty to get my teeth into absorbing the degree's teachings. At the festive board after there was much fellowship and I felt honoured to be sat between a Past Deputy Prov. GM (our WM) and two Past Prov. GMs, all thoroughly humble men who consider Masonry to be the hobby that it is, along with the other officers and brethren of the lodge.
Obviously I can't speak for the degree as worked in the States but here it's very a much more relaxed and fun ceremony, indeed it's known as the "friendly" degree here. As to the themes I mentioned, even though they're not at all the key points of the degree, there is a clear element of them in the playlet that I had to take part in and they add to making the evening memorable.

A Message of Support
By Michael Rosen
Understandably, Michael didn't feel up to writing a full article for the campaign, but has kindly sent this message of support. As you would expect, it sums up the heart of the argument in just a couple of short paragraphs.
It's all in the name: it's for the public - that's all of us, and it's a service. It serves the people. Children are part of the people, they are people. They are entitled to be given a service that is for all of them. As we become more and more aware of the diverse needs of children (children are diverse), then we need some kind of commitment beyond that of the market, to ensure that these diverse needs are served. The market cannot serve this diversity. By definition it has to compete for mass audiences, it has to 'massify' the audiences in order to survive. Of course public service broadcasting looks to put on popular programmes but at the same time it builds in a remit to make programmes that express the needs of minorities who of themselves may or may not be profitable for broadcasters to reach. Further, public service broadcasting can and should see its remit to go beyond broadcasting itself to provide a full range of outreach services and links with other organisations.
Children are themselves treated in our society as a minority. They are often overlooked, marginalised or excluded from decisions even when those decisions affect them directly. This is an outlook, a view or a tendency towards children in society. We are much happier talking about children - as I am here! - than listening to them, or finding ways of expressing their needs, desires and imaginations. Public service broadcasting can, does and should do this. Children are not in the waiting room of life, they are alive, thinking, reflecting, interpreting, re-imagining the world around them. Giving that a voice or seeking to meet those needs with high class, high production values is not necessarily profitable. That's why we need funding for this kind of broadcasting. After all, we don't doubt that spending billions on education is a 'good thing' so why query the 'edutainment/infotainment' principles of public service broadcasting for children?
A former Children's Laureate and one of the best-known figures in the children's book world, Michael Rosen is renowned for his work as a poet, performer, broadcaster and scriptwriter. As an author and by selecting other writers' works for anthologies he has been involved with over 140 books. He lectures and teaches in universities on children's literature, reading and writing.

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in London on Saturday (May 14) to demand a better deal for British workers, who are now enduring falling living standards not seen since Victorian times.
The TUC march – supported by several unions including Unite – gathered trade unionists and campaigners from across the UK to call for a £10 an hour minimum wage, an end to zero hours contracts and proper funding for public services among other demands.
A recent TUC analysis found that real wages in the UK are still £24 less than they were a decade ago when the financial crisis first hit – that's the worst wage squeeze in 200 years, when much of Europe was ravaged by the Napoleonic wars.
Leading the march were TGI Fridays waiters, Unite members (pictured below), who will be taking part in their first ever strike this Friday (May 18). They marched alongside McDonald's workers who are likewise participating in their first ever UK strikes.
Protestors wound their way down to Hyde Park where speakers, including Unite general secretary Len McCluskey, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady addressed the crowds. Workers too told their stories of struggle and victory.
Unite rep and TGI Fridays waitress Lauren explained how in January, management pushed through a grossly unfair new tipping policy which would see servers lose 40 per cent of their card tips, amounting to an average of more than £250 a month.
The waiters complained to their bosses, she said, but to no avail.
"And then we unionised," Lauren told protestors at the rally. "Joining Unite was the best thing we've ever done – finally we have a voice.
Unite rep and Bombardier worker Gaye Partridge (pictured below)told of how she and her fellow colleagues took on Boeing – and won.
"We pulled off an amazing win against the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world," she explained, detailing how Unite lobbied against punitive tariffs threatening Bombardier's C-Series jet, which if implemented by US trade authorities would have risked thousands of jobs in Northern Ireland.
But thanks to Unite and its members' relentless pressure, the US authorities ruled against imposing the tariffs which Boeing had used all its corporate might to push through.
Unite members from across the UK shared with UNITElive why they were marching on Saturday (May 12).
Unite Community member Liz Byrne (pictured below) said that even though she isn't working because of her disabilities, she's come out to support those who do.
"I've come to support the unions – I think people who work so hard should get fair pay for their jobs," she said.
NHS worker and Unite rep Alan Dobbie (pictured below), from north London, told UNITElive he was out marching in support of the NHS and other public services now at breaking point because of government policies.
Unite shop steward and bus worker Kenny McKay brought his wife, Josephine and their seven-year-old grandson Daniel (pictured below) to the march.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey (pictured below) addressed protestors at the rally as he urged working people make their voices heard against the forces oppressing them.
He slammed 'the spivs and speculators' who don't pay their taxes and caused the financial crisis; the same people who demonise those who actually "create the wealth of our nation" – workers.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (pictured below) likewise galvanised the tens of thousands of working people, their families, friends and supporters who stood out in the rain to stand up for fairness and equality.

MLB Commissioner 'Hopeful' For Limited Fan Attendance At Postseason Games
by Alexandra Francisco
Cardboard cutouts in the stands and pumped in crowd noise have gotten us by to this point in a Major League Baseball season without spectators. But when we get to the postseason, the energy the home crowd brings surely will be missed.
But there may be hope for having fans in attendance during the late stages of the postseason.
Speaking in a virtual event put on by Hofstra University's business school, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday said he anticipates the postseason to be played out in a bubble, beginning with the Division Series, and he hopes to have fans at some of the games.
"I'm hopeful that the World Series and the LCS we will have limited fan capacity," Manfred said, via The Athletic's Evan Drellich. "I think it's important for us to start back down the road. Obviously it'll be limited numbers, socially distanced, protection provided for the fans in terms of temperature checks and the like. Kind of the pods like you saw in some of the NFL games. We'll probably use that same theory. But I do think it's important as we look forward to 2021 to get back to the idea that live sports, they're generally outdoors, at least our games. And it's something that we can get back to.
"Again, I hope for the postseason, we'll have some limited fan presence in ballparks. I think it would be a good thing just in terms of getting people used to the idea being back in the ballpark, and again, I think the trick in terms of what's going to happen next year, it's dependent on the virus. The virus controls and it's 'do you have a vaccine? Are we still seeing spikes?' That's going to drive what local governments are going to allow us to do."
Manfred also mentioned the health experts MLB has been consulting expect a vaccine to be widely distributed to the public by spring of next year.
So if fans can't attend the World Series, at least there's a decent shot at going to the ballpark in 2021.

Review: Duo's music is 'pure artistry'

Author: Cliff Bellamy
There's so much that is special about the music on "Songs of Mirth and Melancholy." The release (due to hit stores Tuesday) is the first time Durham resident and NCCU artist in residence Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo, the longtime pianist for Marsalis' quartet, have recorded as a duo. The music also was recorded at Hayti Heritage Center, and the sound that comes across on this disc is another argument for preserving the Bull City's great historic spaces. Read more »

The weather. It's one of those subjects we just love to talk about here in England. It's essential we mention it as we arrive at work and to as many people as possible daily; I'm not sure what we'd do without it. The word changeable was purely created for us Yorkshire folk, I'm sure of it.
Picture the moment, Howard was sat during a winter day watching rain bouncing off the cobbles from his shop window. There it came to him to create a print, purely illustrating the certain type of weather we get here in Yorkshire - everything!
This Yorkshire print would be a great addition to any home, even pop it in your bathroom - we don't mind! This also makes a great gift for any fellow Yorkshire friend. We always print our pictures using a professional Canon printer onto professional quality 260 g/m2, so you can be sure the print will look gorgeous and crisp for years to come.
You will receive an unmounted and unframed high quality print; we suggest using any standard frame. The A4 and A3 print does have a white border around the image so it should fit most standard frames.
You will receive a fully mounted and framed high quality print.

Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE is the most celebrated and most read poet and dramatist in history, but his personal life and artistic life is a mystery. How did he obtain the extensive learning and experience displayed in his works? When were his plays written and why were his works so often pirated by printers? Although publicly lauded during his lifetime, why was Shakespeare's death not noticed by those in the literary world near the time that it had occurred? These are only a few problems that the Shakespeare professor cannot answer definitively after two centuries of scholarship.
Much contemporary evidence, however, is available that can shed light on many of these problems -- evidence that gets ignored because it does not fit the experts' picture of Shakespeare. This evidence overwhelmingly indicates that 'William Shakespeare' was the great author's pen name, and that he was a nobleman. It shows that he wrote decades earlier than believed, and initially for the private entertainment of Queen Elizabeth I and her court.
The pen name idea is easy enough to grasp, but it becomes more complex and tangled by the fact that there was another man, christened 'William Shakspere', who lived during the same period. A resident of Stratford-upon-Avon, this man was involved in acting companies and theaters in London. Not one shred of evidence, however, proves the 'Stratford Man' was the great author during his lifetime, and neither he nor his descendents ever made such a claim. These two very different men merged into one identity after both of their deaths, and it was no accident, as this book will explain.
The lack of hard facts about Shakespeare and his career has caused the experts to write biographies full of fiction and fantasy. Those who love and appreciate Shakespeare deserve better. Fully documented, Shakespeare Suppressed is a valuable resource for those who want to learn the unadulterated truth about Shakespeare and his works. The book debunks the experts' case for the Stratford Man as the great author, and exposes the misleading preface of the First Folio. Features an appendix detailing 93 'too early' allusions to the plays that destroy orthodox composition dates, and 27 plates.

Damage occurs to the collagen and elastin fibers in the reticular dermis over time. Expression lines are caused by a gradual "denting" of these fibers from repeated facial movements. Just like a piece of metal that is bent multiple times, the fibers become weaker and weaker and thinner in the area of the constant bend.
If you carefully examine the tissue of sun damaged skin, you will find a disorganized mess in the reticular dermis. Both collagen and elastin fibers are damaged from cumulative sun exposure. Little by little, these fibers are damaged until they cannot function in their intended capacity. This damage results in both skin wrinkling medically known as rhytides, and skin sagging as elastosis.

America's Best Young Farmers and Ranchers
Return to the Farm
11/30/2021 | 6:00 PM CST
By Dan Miller , Progressive Farmer Senior Editor
Adam Jones is bringing cover crops, experience and passion to the family farm. (Joel Reichenberger)
DTN/Progressive Farmer's America's Best Young Farmers and Ranchers program profiles Adam Jones, Maywood, Missouri.
Adam Jones spent the morning talking about his â??farm -- waist-high soybeans, cover crops, low organic soils, vole damage, custom-harvesting â??versus owning your own steel. Now, he is contemplating a future as he drives away from several dozen acres of corn -- an unplanned crop really, corn planted instead of soybeans, the solution to a mistaken custom anhydrous application.
Why are you returning to your family farm? Why are you and your family planning to leave Columbia, Missouri, where you keep a home with your wife, Heather, a middle school science teacher, and where you both are raising three young children, for the family farm, 650 acres two hours away near Maywood, Missouri?
"It's a good question," he says. "I'd say a passion for this farm. There is something about being raised on the farm, and now I have the chance to do it. If I was going out there to chisel-plow everything, that wouldn't appeal to me as much. But, I'll be planting cover crops, working the diversity of the soils. You get to see the fruits of your labor on an annual cycle."
TIME TO GO BACK
After a moment, he adds, "I think the last 18 months has really highlighted the importance of living a more rural lifestyle. This place holds value for me, a value in the generational sacrifices here. The deeper you get into life, the more you respect those kinds of decisions. This is really about impact on this landscape. We like that picture here."
Jones is a University of Missouri graduate with a degree in wildlife biology. He spent 13 years working for the Missouri Department of Conservation, leaving behind a position as wildlife biologist. Jones moved to MFA Incorporated, a Midwest-based regional farm supply and marketing cooperative with 45,000 farmer/owners in Missouri and adjacent states. He is a conservation agronomist, providing support on soil-health practices, integrated weed management and carbon programs. He plans to combine the work of the farm with his position at MFA.
The farm is 360 tillable acres in Lewis County, in far northeast Missouri -- 10 miles west of Quincy, Illinois, and about 35 miles south of the Iowa border. The original Jones tracks were staked out here in the middle 1800s. "That cemetery up there," he says pointing away from a corner of his machine shed, "was taken off a corner of Jones' ground. The church up in Maywood was put out on our land."
Jones Farm has not been farmed by a Jones since 2003. Rather, a neighbor has been farming it since Jones' father, Larry, died. Fall 2021 marks Jones first harvest. He originally left the farm on the advice of his father. "I can remember multiple times my dad saying you can't make a living doing this," he says. Jones did leave. So did a lot of others.
"In northeast Missouri, we did a really good job running my generation off. So, going back? There's a hill to climb. There are growers out here that have been [farming] for 20 or 25 years. They've made those capital investments. I'm trying to make investments from zero, to buy equipment that just won't break down," he says. The plan is to invest in the farm with production from the farm -- not from the couple's nonfarming incomes. Jones is confident that with proper management, it will work. "The farm's got more yield potential in the bank," he says.
THE SOIL AND COVER CROPS
The farm's soil-management challenges mirror the variability of the soils -- silt and sandy loams. River bottom soils line the waterways running to the nearby Mississippi River. Jones' soils are highly variable. One measure of the soil's ability to hold water and nutrients is called cation exchange capacity (CEC). High-sand soils have low CEC values. The measure increases as soils contain increasingly greater levels of clay, silt and organic matter. Jones' soils range from as little as five to almost 25. He has grid-sampled the farm, found areas of low pH and applied lime as he begins to make long-term agronomic investments.
He's currently growing soybeans, a decision he made to control costs and regulate the farm's management commitment. The farm owns a John Deere 4055 tractor, and Jones put together a Kinze 3500 that satisfactorily plants the crop. But, he will pay for a custom harvest. "I would rather invest in building soil than buying iron. There are a lot of guys with big equipment who can cut my 300 acres of soybeans with a couple days' work," he says.
Jones' plans reflect his strong conservation ethic. For one, he is working cover crops into the farm. "I want to play with [cover crops] moving forward, not a real crazy cocktail kind of mix, but I definitely want to integrate cover crops every place I can through rotation," he says. His first cover crop was planted in fall of 2020, 225 acres of cereal rye on 15-inch rows. He planted soybeans into green cover.
"The No. 1 thing we battle with cover crops is moisture retention," Jones says. "This spring was no different. We were superwet. I've seen a lot of mistakes where folks are terminating [cover crops] before planting." The result is a whole bunch of residue and no transpiration. "To get the maximum benefit of that cover crop, I wanted to make sure we weren't keeping the soil too wet. I wanted to leave [the green cover] as long as I possibly could and then terminate it."
Cover crops are his long-term choice. "I didn't just plant it to try to get an extra couple bushel beans this year. Long term, I definitely want to build organic matter," he says. Jones is anxious for the results. "Can we build organic matter, change our yield and most of all the resilience of that crop in lighter soils?"
Jones Farm is shaped by the entire acreage of the farm. It includes a Wetland Reserve Easement, income-generating work with a 25-acre pool, acres of upland native warm-season grasses and a riparian corridor along the Middle Fabius River. It occupies low-lying land that was never highly productive. Jones has planted pollinator habitat -- native grasses and flowering species growing in the "sandbox," a wedge of ground capable of producing little more than natives. He has also taken a chain saw to a wooded area of the farm, trading hackberry for a years-in-the-future cutting of trees with economic value -- white oak being one.
He believes conservation and crop management focused on soil health brings new value to Jones Farm. "I know the benefits and the challenges here, especially integrating cover crops. I want to make it work. If I fail, I'll fail trying."

This article is about the 3-dimensional shape. For cubes in any dimension, see Hypercube. For other uses, see Cube (disambiguation).
In geometry, a cube[1] is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex.
The cube is the only regular hexahedron and is one of the five Platonic solids. It has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
The cube is also a square parallelepiped, an equilateral cuboid and a right rhombohedron. It is a regular square prism in three orientations, and a trigonal trapezohedron in four orientations.
The cube is dual to the octahedron. It has cubical or octahedral symmetry.
The cube has four special orthogonal projections, centered, on a vertex, edges, face and normal to its vertex figure. The first and third correspond to the A2 and B2 Coxeter planes.
The cube can also be represented as a spherical tiling, and projected onto the plane via a stereographic projection. This projection is conformal, preserving angles but not areas or lengths. Straight lines on the sphere are projected as circular arcs on the plane.
For a cube centered at the origin, with edges parallel to the axes and with an edge length of 2, the Cartesian coordinates of the vertices are
while the interior consists of all points (x0, x1, x2) with −1 < xi < 1 for all i.
In analytic geometry, a cube's surface with center (x0, y0, z0) and edge length of 2a is the locus of all points (x, y, z) such that
A cube can also be considered the limiting case of a 3D superellipsoid as all three exponents approach infinity.
A cube has the largest volume among cuboids (rectangular boxes) with a given surface area. Also, a cube has the largest volume among cuboids with the same total linear size (length+width+height).
For a cube whose circumscribing sphere has radius R, and for a given point in its 3-dimensional space with distances di from the cube's eight vertices, we have:[2]
Doubling the cube, or the Delian problem, was the problem posed by ancient Greek mathematicians of using only a compass and straightedge to start with the length of the edge of a given cube and to construct the length of the edge of a cube with twice the volume of the original cube. They were unable to solve this problem, which in 1837 Pierre Wantzel proved it to be impossible because the cube root of 2 is not a constructible number.
The cube has three uniform colorings, named by the colors of the square faces around each vertex: 111, 112, 123.
The cube has four classes of symmetry, which can be represented by vertex-transitive coloring the faces. The highest octahedral symmetry Oh has all the faces the same color. The dihedral symmetry D4h comes from the cube being a prism, with all four sides being the same color. The prismatic subsets D2d has the same coloring as the previous one and D2h has alternating colors for its sides for a total of three colors, paired by opposite sides. Each symmetry form has a different Wythoff symbol.
A cube has eleven nets (one shown above): that is, there are eleven ways to flatten a hollow cube by cutting seven edges.[3] To color the cube so that no two adjacent faces have the same color, one would need at least three colors.
The cube is the cell of . It is also unique among the Platonic solids in having faces with an even number of sides and, consequently, it is the only member of that group that is a zonohedron (every face has point symmetry).
The cube can be cut into six identical square pyramids. If these square pyramids are then attached to the faces of a second cube, a rhombic dodecahedron is obtained (with pairs of coplanar triangles combined into rhombic faces).
The analogue of a cube in four-dimensional Euclidean space has a special name—a tesseract or hypercube. More properly, a hypercube (or n-dimensional cube or simply n-cube) is the analogue of the cube in n-dimensional Euclidean space and a tesseract is the order-4 hypercube. A hypercube is also called a measure polytope.
There are analogues of the cube in lower dimensions too: a point in dimension 0, a line segment in one dimension and a square in two dimensions.
The dual of a cube is an octahedron, seen here with vertices at the center of the cube's square faces.
The quotient of the cube by the antipodal map yields a projective polyhedron, the hemicube.
The vertices of a cube can be grouped into two groups of four, each forming a regular tetrahedron; more generally this is referred to as a demicube. These two together form a regular compound, the stella octangula. The intersection of the two forms a regular octahedron. The symmetries of a regular tetrahedron correspond to those of a cube which map each tetrahedron to itself; the other symmetries of the cube map the two to each other.
One such regular tetrahedron has a volume of 1/3 of that of the cube. The remaining space consists of four equal irregular tetrahedra with a volume of 1/6 of that of the cube, each.
The rectified cube is the cuboctahedron. If smaller corners are cut off we get a polyhedron with six octagonal faces and eight triangular ones. In particular we can get regular octagons (truncated cube). The rhombicuboctahedron is obtained by cutting off both corners and edges to the correct amount.
A cube can be inscribed in a dodecahedron so that each vertex of the cube is a vertex of the dodecahedron and each edge is a diagonal of one of the dodecahedron's faces; taking all such cubes gives rise to the regular compound of five cubes.
If two opposite corners of a cube are truncated at the depth of the three vertices directly connected to them, an irregular octahedron is obtained. Eight of these irregular octahedra can be attached to the triangular faces of a regular octahedron to obtain the cuboctahedron.
The cube is topologically related to a series of spherical polyhedra and tilings with order-3 vertex figures.
The cuboctahedron is one of a family of uniform polyhedra related to the cube and regular octahedron.
With dihedral symmetry, Dih4, the cube is topologically related in a series of uniform polyhedra and tilings 4.2n.2n, extending into the hyperbolic plane:
The cube is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with [n,3] Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are squares.
As a trigonal trapezohedron, the cube is related to the hexagonal dihedral symmetry family.
The skeleton of the cube (the vertices and edges) form a graph, with 8 vertices, and 12 edges. It is a special case of the hypercube graph.[4] It is one of 5 Platonic graphs, each a skeleton of its Platonic solid.
An extension is the three dimensional k-ary Hamming graph, which for k = 2 is the cube graph. Graphs of this sort occur in the theory of parallel processing in computers.
