USDA to Invest $4 Million for Midwest Honey Bee Conservation
USDA to Invest $4 Million for Midwest Honey Bee ConservationThe U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to provide more than $4 million in technical and financial assistance to help farmers in the Midwest, including Michigan, improve the health of honey bees.
Michigan is one of five Midwestern states that is part of the USDA honey bee effort, along with Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Funding will be provided to producers to plan and install conservation practices that will provide honey bees with nutritious pollen and nectar while providing benefits to the environment. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service is accepting applications for this effort until Nov. 21, 2014.
"Honey bees and other pollinators are extremely important to Michigan's fruit and vegetable growers," said Garry Lee, USDA state conservationist for Michigan. "There was a strong response from farmers for the first honey bee conservation effort earlier this year."
In February, 2014, the USDA announced the first funding for honey bee conservation. In Michigan, 48 farmers entered into contracts to improve honey bee habitat on 1,080 acres of land and they will receive $193,100 in conservation financial assistance. The funding will be used by farmers to establish or improve forage for honey bees.
Studies have shown that beekeepers are losing about 30 percent of their honey bee colonies each year, up from historical norms of 10-15 percent overwintering losses experienced prior to 2006. Significant progress has been made in understanding of the factors that are associated with Colony Collapse Disorder and the overall health of honey bees. This effort is one of many that USDA has underway to address the issue, said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
More information, is available on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service website at www.mi.nrcs.usda.gov.
Don't Farm Naked Field Day
Don't farm naked, plant cover crops for soil health! Eaton Conservation District, Eaton County Farm Bureau and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation service will be sponsoring a fall field day on Friday, September 12, 2014. The event, hosted by The Country Mill and Upright Farms in Charlotte MI, will feature nationally renowned guest speaker, Dr. Hans Kok! Hans is an Indiana based agriculture consultant who contracts with the Indiana Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative. He uses an innovative approach to teach producers about the importance of managing soils much like they would livestock or crops to maximize long term sustainability and farm economics.
In addition to Dr. Kok's presentation, the Field Day will feature great demonstrations and discussions about improving soil health on the farm, integrated weed management tips to get more bang for your pesticide costs, and an update on the new Farm Bill. RUP credits will be available for certified pesticide applicators who attend and MAEAP phase 1 credit is available for all participants. Local businesses have donated prizes for the event, including cover crop seed from the Eaton Farm Bureau Co-op. Registration is $10 and covers lunch and materials. Farm Bureau members will receive a reduced rate at $5. Those interested in participating in the tour should contact the Eaton Conservation District (517) 543-5848 ext. 5 no later than September 9th to register.
Drones Added to Don't Farm Naked Field Day!
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs or drones) demonstration has been added to the Don't Farm Naked Field Day on September 12th. Bruno Basso, associate professor at MSU, will be joining the agricultural field day to demonstrate his work using UAVs to model water and nutrient cycling in relation to agro-ecosystems. Basso is working to develop SALUS, a next-generation process-based model that integrates crop productivity with water, carbon, and nutrient fluxes in a spatially explicit manner.

MSU Farms Go Green!
The Eaton Conservation District is pleased to announce that the first three research farms on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) have achieved verification under the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP). The MSU Cow Calf Teaching & Research Center, MSU Swine Teaching& Research Center and the MSU Beef Cattle Teaching and Research Center received recognition June 30 from Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) for becoming verified under the MAEAP Farmstead and Livestock Systems.
Joe Kelpinski, MAEAP verifier with MDARD applauded MSU's verifications. "It was a pleasure to work with MSU through the verification process. As one of the premier land grant research colleges in the United States, MSU is known for their teaching and research. By obtaining their MAEAP verifications, the MSU facilities that were verified have shown not only their commitment to continued research on improving animal production, but that they are focusing on doing so in a manner that is both environmentally friendly and sustainable. Their continued efforts in this area have enabled them to meet the rigorous MAEAP standards and show that production and environmental commitment can coexist to the benefit of both in livestock production systems. These facilities are to be commended for their efforts."
All three MSU centers are utilized by faculty, staff, and students to develop successful graduates, conduct innovative research, and engage stakeholders. The facilities are used to advance agriculture using multidisciplinary approaches to teach, generate, disseminate, and apply knowledge in livestock biology and management
while providing hands-on learning opportunities for students.
The Cow Calf Center, established at its current location in 1954, is a 340-acre, pasture-based operation that focuses on the breeding and management of beef cattle. The Swine Center, established in 1997, has a closed breeding program which produces animals that are used for research in nutrition, behavior, genetics, environmental management, meat science and muscle biology, and production management. Animals are also used for class projects and experiences for all MSU students, as well as many 4-H, FFA, and other youth and adult activities. The Beef Cattle Center, established in 1964, conducts basic and applied beef cattle (ruminant) research and teaching that benefits beef cattle producers and ultimately the consumers of Michigan.
"Becoming MAEAP verified was a logical step for our South Campus farms. Although we are mandated to implement best management practices, with so many of our stakeholders investing time and resources to achieve MAEAP verification we felt it was important for us to do the same. We are proud to plant the MAEAP verified sign in front of our facilities and look forward to having all our farms verified." said Dr. Janice Swanson, Chair of the MSU Department of Animal Science. Other farms and facilities on campus are in the process of achieving MAEAP verification. This process can take anywhere from a few months to several years depending on the size of the farm and their ability to dedicate time to working on the MAEAP process in addition to normal farm responsibilities.
MAEAP focuses on helping farmers adopt management practices that proactively prevent pollution on the farm. Producers are encouraged to use soils tests to assess fertilizer demands of crops and minimize nitrogen and phosphorus loading of Michigan's groundwater, lakes, rivers, and streams. The program also focuses on responsible soil erosion, manure management, odor management, well water testing, pesticide use and storage, irrigation management, water conservation, fuel storage, and a number of other issues that pertain directly to the farmstead. MAEAP is a voluntary program that allows farmers to access free, confidential, technical assistance to protect natural resources on the farm. It offers a nonregulatory route for farms to be assured they are in compliance with Right to Farm and applicable laws.
For more information on MAEAP or other conservation programs please contact your local technician, Jennifer Silveri, at the Eaton Conservation District, (517) 543-5848 ext 112 or by email at jennifer.silveri@mi.nacdnet.net.

NRCS develops new webpages for farmers
by USDA NRCS | April 1,2014
For generations, children have been singing about the farmer, his wife and
kids, and even the mouse and the cheese. But today, a modern farmer is more
likely to be using the mouse on his computer (or more realistically, a
smartphone or tablet) than dancing around a small wooded valley with his family
and farm animals.
The website of USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, nrcs.usda.gov, has been
evolving to keep pace with the needs of today's farmer, says NRCS Webmaster
Elisa O'Halloran.
"Our mission is to provide American farmers, ranchers and other visitors with
the tools and resources they are looking for on a site that is easy to use and
navigate."
The most-effective websites combine clear and readable text, usability,
functionality and simple navigation. NRCS writes the text for targeted
audiences, which includes farmers and ranchers, as well as people who use NRCS
online tools, such as Web Soil Survey, PLANTS database and COMET-FarmTM.
Recently, the agency created a new Get Started with NRCS
page. This new webpage helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners learn how
they can make improvements to their land with conservation.
This webpage features the five steps to getting assistance from NRCS, so that
farmers, ranchers and forest landowners can know about the process of applying
for assistance from the comfort of their own home, barn, tractor or wherever
else they hop online.
Also, NRCS revamped its About and Drought Resources pages
and created a Resources for Small Farms
page. About NRCS provides an overview of what NRCS offers,
including those popular tools that bring many visitors to the website.
Drought Resources houses information on assistance and resources that can
help farms and ranches be more resilient to drought. And finally, the Resources
for Small Farms page pulls together information and resources that may be of
interest to owners and managers of smaller farms, such as information on
organics and seasonal high tunnels.
NRCS uses a number of tools to help create these pages, including site
traffic and customer experience information. "We've found that more than 61
percent of people coming to our website were new visitors, many of whom were
farmers, ranchers and forest landowners looking for information on conservation
programs," O'Halloran said.
NRCS has about 13,000 visits per day on its national website. Some of the
most popular pages deal with soils, Web Soil Survey and the Farm Bill.
"We hope you enjoy these new and revamped pages, and we welcome feedback on
how we can improve our 'digital' service center," says O'Halloran. "We're
excited to have the opportunity to help you get started with
NRCS!"

Select committee to put libraries cuts under spotlight
Published November 23, 2011 by Benedicte Page
The Culture, Media and Sport select committee is to hold an inquiry into library closures.
The cross-party committee, chaired by Conservative...
The cross-party committee, chaired by Conservative MP John Whittingdale, will have the power to call ministers Jeremy Hunt and Ed Vaizey to give evidence, as well as local authorities and library campaigners.
The committee is inviting written submissions and requesting views on what constitutes a comprehensive and efficient library service for the 21st century, the extent to which planned library closures are compatible with the Public Libraries & Museums Act 1964, the impact library closures have on local communities and the effectiveness of the secretary of state's powers of intervention under the 1964 Act. Submissions should go to cmsev@parliament.uk, with "library closures" in the subject line, by a deadline of 12th January 2012. A guide for written submissions to Select Committees may be found on the parliamentary website.
A spokesperson for the DCMS said the department "noted" the announcement. Annie Mauger, chief executive of CILIP, said she was "absolutely delighted" by the news, having been lobbying select committee members to hold an inquiry "for some time." Campaigner Desmond Clarke described the inquiry as "wonderful news".
Tim Coates, chair of umbrella group Libraries for Life for Londoners, said: "At long last the culture select committee have decided to interrogate the activities of the DCMS because that is their job." However, he warned that to have any authority, the committee needed to explain why it had allowed the DCMS to ignore the findings of the last committee inquiry, chaired by Gerald Kaufman, published in 2005. Coates said it found the library service was in poor condition and made recommendations for its improvement.

Above you can see a small alley or street in the historic district of Lübeck. It's the most interesting district in our city because there you can still find old construction styles. In other words, you find a lot of buildings with brick stone. First I wanted to upload the photo in color, but it was shot in JPG and the image contained overblown highlights so that I decided to convert it to black and white. But that's not bad either, because I love black and white photos and it works with the photo above as well.
I've been to Lübeck a few times 🙂 Aww, no comparison shot? 😉 It turned out lovely.
Wow, I didn't know that. Business-like or holidays? 🙂 I hope you liked it here. I think our inner-city is interesting for tourists, but apart from that, everything around it is just residential areas or industrial areas. But the inner-city has some interesting alleys and old architecture.
I hope you will enjoy Denmark if you ever decide to come here too!

Omak man charged with threatening officers
February 27, 2019 by Marcy Stamper
Arrest related to enforcement of gun-safety law
An Omak resident has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly threatening to shoot any sheriff who doesn't comply with the firearm-safety law (I-1639) approved by Washington voters in November.
Jaydin Ledford, age 23, was arrested last Wednesday (Feb. 20) after an investigation by the FBI, the Inland Northwest Joint Terrorism Task Force, Okanogan County sheriff's deputies, and the Omak Police Department.
The threats came to the attention of law enforcement after someone called Okanogan County dispatch about threatening posts on Ledford's Facebook page, according to Okanogan County Sheriff Tony Hawley.
"It was definitely an appropriate action, particularly with the statement that he wanted to shoot a police officer, and a direct threat to [Spokane Sheriff Ozzie] Knezovich," said Hawley.
The Washington State Sheriffs Association also notified its members about Ledford's threats to law enforcement officers, said Hawley.
"These threats were taken very seriously and all Law Enforcement agencies in the area were notified to be cautious of Ledford, especially if they were to need to respond to a call for service involving him or in the area of his residence. We learned early in the investigation that Ledford was a resident in Omak," said Hawley in a statement about the case.
Ledford was taken into custody without incident and was held in the Okanogan County jail before being transferred to FBI custody, said Hawley. Ledford was expected to be charged with harassment-threats to kill and intimidating a public servant, he said.
Calls in past
Law-enforcement officers have responded to calls regarding Ledford in the past, including threats and a domestic dispute, but he has never been arrested, said Hawley.
In a criminal complaint against Ledford filed in U.S. District Court in Spokane on Feb. 21, FBI special agent Marjoe Jennings quoted four threatening Facebook posts by Ledford. The early-February posts included specific threats to state law-enforcement officers, including "Ozzie Knezovich is gonna get a bullet in his skull" and "I1639 is law. sheriffs that are non-compliant will be shot. by me [sic]."
In other posts, Ledford referenced the Chicago plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging mandatory union dues that was recently decided in his favor by the U.S. Supreme Court. Ledford threatened to kill the man and wrote, "I bet his brain tatstes deliciousss [sic]."
Jennings first became aware of Ledford's threatening Facebook postings on Feb. 4. Through his investigations, he linked the postings to Ledford's IP address, his physical address at an apartment in Omak, his phone number and a credit card.
Because Ledford's postings were on a public Facebook page viewable by anyone in the world, Jennings determined the information falls under the Interstate Communication Act.
Jennings and other law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Ledford's apartment and seized computers, electronics and his cell phone. These items are still being examined.
In addition to the terrorism task force, Jennings works with the Spokane Safe Street Task Force.
I-1639 was approved by 59 percent of Washington voters in November. It requires safe storage of firearms, restricts the sale of semi-automatic rifles to individuals over 21, and imposes more-comprehensive backgrounds checks, a 10-day waiting period, and proof of firearms training.
Hawley said earlier this month that the law's requirements for safe storage of a firearm need to be clarified so it can be enforced fairly. He instructed deputies to conduct complete investigations.
Some county sheriffs in the state have said they don't intend to enforce the firearm-safety law because they believe it violates the Constitution. Others are waiting for the outcome of a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association, Second Amendment Foundation, firearms dealers, and individuals under the age of 21. The lawsuit asserts that the law violates their right to use firearms for lawful purposes, as well as the commerce clause of the Constitution.

Experts say that intense exercise could be detrimental for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
In vestigators found that with increasing intensity and duration of exercise, there was a proportional increased risk of gut damage and impaired gut function. Specifically, the cells of the intestine are injured and the gut becomes more leaky, allowing pathogenic endotoxins normally present and isolated to the intestine to pass into the bloodstream. This scenario of 'exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome' may lead to acute or chronic health complications.
Exercise stress of 2 hours at 60% VO2max appeared to be the threshold whereby significant gut disturbances arise, irrespective of an individual's fitness status. Running and exercising in hot ambient temperatures appear to exacerbate the gut disturbances.
The review also found that for patients who have irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease, low to moderate physical activity may be beneficial. The health implications of more strenuous exercise has not been researched, but is likely to be detrimental for such patients.There is evidence for health benefits of moderate exercise in patients with inflammatory bowel disease or functional gastrointestinal disorders, the safety of more strenuous exercise has not been established, but could be hypothetically detrimental.

Merritt Island is a census-designated place in Brevard County, Florida, United States. It is located on the east coast of the state on the Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2000 census, the population was 36,090. It is part of the Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The name "Merritt Island" also refers to the extent of the former island, which is now a peninsula.
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center are located on the northern part of Merritt Island. The area is heavily residential, with centralized light commercial and light industrial areas.
Merritt Island's recent history dates back into the mid-1800s and centers on the growth of citrus, stressing the cultivation of pineapples and oranges. The Indian River oranges and grapefruit come from this sandy area.
The Island became grew in the 1950s and '60s as the Space Race began and nearby NASA expanded. Construction of a barge canal to the Intracoastal Waterway from the Atlantic Ocean (for power plant oil shipments) cut off the northern half of the island for many years and to this day it remains slightly less developed with few areas remaining cattle pasture or citrus land. The small towns on the island vanished with the coming of the Space Age, and now only live on in the names of streets and historic churches.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 47.0 square miles (121.9 km²), of which, 17.6 square miles (45.7 km²) of it is land and 29.4 square miles (76.1 km²) of it (62.49%) is water.
Merritt Island was originally an island and is still referred to as one. The construction of the Crawlerway in the north (for the NASA space vehicles to move to the launch pad over the Banana Creek) connects Merritt Island to a mainland peninsula. To the west and south it is separated by the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The east side of Merritt Island splits and is divided by Sykes Creek and Newfound Harbor. They, in turn, are separated by the Banana River Lagoon from Cocoa Beach, Florida.
To the north, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, along with a narrow barrier island that make up Canaveral National Seashore, offer an unpopulated protected buffer area for the space shuttle launching site of Kennedy Space Center. The area is a wildlife magnet drawing huge sums of migratory birds that join the more resident wildlife including, alligators, manatees, dolphins, sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, bobcats, and the elusive Florida panther.
To the west, the island connects to mainland Brevard County near Titusville and Cocoa on its northern end, and in Melbourne, Florida on its southern end.
Merritt Island also owes its name to the generosity of the king of Spain. The entire island was part of a land grant given by the king to a nobleman named Merritt.
Merritt Island has several concentrations of population known as a place.
With the lack of a municipal government Merritt Island is left to the administrative care of the local county government and the water and sewer (where available) are handled by neighboring Cocoa, Florida. As a result, there are no city taxes. The county maintains sheriff, fire, and EMS coverage.
There are also light industrial fabrication centers around the Merritt Island Airport, and NASA-related industrial activities to support space shuttle and other rocket launches on North Merritt Island.
The island is linked by causeways, Florida 520.svg SR 520 and Florida 520.svg SR 528, to the barrier island to its east and the mainland to the west.
Florida 3.svg SR 3, a 4-lane highway, connects the Space Center, for workers from the more densely populated central and southern sections of the Island.
As of the census of 2000, there were 36,090 people, 14,955 households, and 10,049 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 2,044.6 people per square mile (789.5/km²). There were 15,813 housing units at an average density of 895.9/sq mi (345.9/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 90.22% White, 5.31% African American, 0.41% Native American, 1.65% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 0.68% from other races, and 1.66% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.83% of the population.
Of the 14,955 households, 27.1% had children under the , 52.9% were married couples living together, 10.7% had a female householder with no husband, and 32.8% were non-families. 26.8% of households were solely individuals and 11.4% had a lone resident of 65 or older. The average household size was 2.36 and the average family size was 2.86.
In the CDP the population was spread out with 21.8% under the , 6.1% from 18 to 24, 26.1% from 25 to 44, 26.2% from 45 to 64, and 19.8% of 65 or older. The median age was 43 years. For every 100 females there were 95.3 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 92.3 males.

Whisked away by the season, I took to my kitchen this morning armed with a number of apples Mr. E had bought earlier in the week. Inspired by a recent post seen on Smitten Kitchen, I dug through my fridge and pantry, happy with the results of my search.
Heat oven: To 350°F. Coat a 9-inch dark cake pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper.
Place peeled, halved and cored apples cut-side-down on a cutting board. Use a knife to create parallel thin slices cut halfway down each apple, taking care to keep its form in tact. In a bowl, toss apples with lime juice and 2 tablespoon granulated sugar.
In a separate large bowl, cream butter and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar together in a bowl with a hand mixer. Add honey and mix until combined. Add vanilla and egg yolks, beating until just combined. Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder over cake batter, and mix for just 5 seconds, until they disappear. Add flour, half at a time, mixing until combined – take care not to over mix as this will result in a tougher crumb.
In a separate bowl with cleaned beaters, beat egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the cake powder in thirds. Again, do not over mix as you will lose the volume you've achieved in mixing your egg whites.
Spread cake batter in prepared cake pan, smoothing the top. Place apple halves face down over the cake batter. Pour any excess juice and sugar in the bowl over the apples.
Bake cake on the middle rack for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. After 5 minutes, remove cake from the pan and let cool completely.
Microwave 1/4 cup honey and a good pinch of sea salt for 30 seconds. Brush honey-salt mixture over cooled cake. Serve.

TOM Club @ Phonopress, July 5th 2016
By: Alo, Macca & zizAziz
On July, 5th The Obscure Music Club had the honour and the pleasure to go beyond the doors of Phonopress International Srl, the one and only italian company involved in the pressing of vinyl records, at this day. The plant is located at the gates of Milan, in one of the thousands industrial areas that adorn the suburbs of the greater Nothern Italy city and, without the big sign hanging on the right side of the front facade of the warehouse, we probably got some troubles in finding it. Anyway, the property is kind of particular compared to the other grey warehouses that surround it: effectively it's easily recognizable due to the big pale "Blue Fairy" stripes , that drives you straight into the magical processes carried out inside there!
In effect, right there every day it keeps on repeating the extraordinary enchantment that transforms something impalpaple like the sound into a physical object that our hands can touch and our eyes can admire: the vinyl record.
We was accepted by the owner, Mr. Filippo De Fassi Negrelli, a Padua-born gentleman that previously got his job in a bank and, from a day to another, he had the insane idea to attempt the outstanding enterprise: bringing back to the vintage splendour the italian phonographic industry. During the golden age of vinyl, from the middle of the 60s to the middle of the 80s, in Italy there were more than ten pressing plants working!
Immediately we had been introduced to Mr. Gianni, a lively white-haired Sir who's in charge of the most delicate and important phase of the whole production: the transfer of the audio file to the master vinyl, realized with a special lacquer containing an aluminium core that makes it toughest with the etching stresses. Mr. Gianni is the magician who creates the "number one groove", through appropriate handlings and accurate phono-mathematical calculation.
Infact, the dynamics and the quality of the sound are decided by the perfect combination of a right track depht, enough distance between one track and another and many other little details.
We are lucky and so we can see the Neumann etching machine working on the new record: a sophisticated sapphire needle records the music on the perfectly flatted surface of the lacquer, what an increbible operation!
In the meanwhile, Mr. Gianni told us about his past recording studio experiences, with big names of the italian music scene, New Trolls and Adriano Celentano as well.
After the hand-written etchings with the catalogue number, the lacquer is finally ready to be brought to another wing of the warehouse, the one where another little magic happens: the creation of the "negative grooves" records that will be inserted in the pressing machines.
This second phase is called "galvanic bath" and the lacquer is litteraly covered by a silver&nickel layer that, after some time, it gets solid and so it can be separated from the lacquer: in this way we have the "backward" copy of the grooves that are one of the two sides of the finished product.
Now let's go to the last phase: the proper record pressing. Infact the silver&nickel plate (actually the two plates, side A and side B) is inserted in the pressing machines, continously feeded with PVC grains, that are heated up and transformed in sort of round cookie with a 2 centimeters thickness: so the mechanical arm takes the cookie to the center of the pressing machine, a very hot water steam is shoot to the vinyl and, among thousands screechings, the powerful hydraulic arm comes down and transform the cookie in a recognizable finished vinyl. Along with the grooves, the hydraulic pump merges inside the PVC the central paper label containing all the infos about the artist, the tracks, the record company, etc.
Now just a last passage is missing before having a ready-to-listen record: the cropping of the edges to remove the PVC in excess…et voilà, la musique c'est pret !
Finally records are convenientely packaged and inserted in the cover: all the paper material is produced by an external provider.
The production is now concluded, but this is the starting point of the most pleasure activity: the listening of the masterpiece by the music maniac!
We thanks for this experience Mr. Filippo De Fassi Negrelli who permitted us to visit his company, but also we thanks the great Mr. Gianni who unveils the secrets behind a good etching and also our fellow citizen Mr. Davide (he's from near Venice!) who is in charge of pressing machines control and who infected us with his extraordinary cheerfulness !!

Calhoun County is littered with place names that are fading into history
Way up in Calhoun County's northeastern hills, hard against the western edges of the Wolf and August Mine mountain ridges, is a pinprick of a place called Philadelphia. Its heartbeat, Philadelphia Baptist Church, has dispensed sermons since 1888. Along the drive there from Piedmont is a visual of rural Alabama: rusted barns and pasturelands, summertime crops and a smattering of ranch-style homes, a canopy of oaks and pines shading the winding, twisting road.
Anniston's quirky connection to Maryland's pro-Confederate state song
James Ryder Randall is embedded so deeply in Anniston lore that he is a veritable ghost, unseen and forgotten. He wasn't born here. He didn't die here. He isn't buried here. His fame, lasting as it is, has absolutely nothing to do with Anniston.
Ayers family's history in local newspapers is long
On Aug. 25, 1894, T.W. Ayers scratched an itch and told the people of Calhoun County about it. He'd owned two Georgia newspapers, sold them for profit and moved to Anniston to run a drug store. He went to medical school. He became a doctor. He opened his practice.

A Ballpark and a History Worth Remembering
One of the misfortunes of baseball's past is how the game's demolished parks are remembered. Often they aren't, save for a placard here or a signpost there that reminds us of the greatness that once occupied these places. The repurposing of real estate is too lucrative to linger in historic nostalgia.
How to toss a pizza: Behind the scenes at Oxford's Mellow Mushroom
OXFORD — Rusty Newman doesn't merely make pizzas. He slaps them, tosses them, designs them, perhaps even imagines them as public demonstrations of gastronomic art. Yes, it's about pie. But it's also about performance. "I've always enjoyed handling dough," he says.
An Angell at Spring Training
What I know about spring training I know because of Roger Angell. With conversational elegance and a tireless spirit, he has described this annual baseball ritual as a romantic interlude, more experience than sport, that surely can't be as romantic as Angell makes it seem.
Last known Confederate combat casualty will get a new burial in Munford 155 years after death
MUNFORD — As a child, Jo Ann Fambrough never heard of Confederate Lt. Andrew Jackson Buttram or his battlefield death along a road not far from today's Munford Town Hall. She was raised in Munford, schooled in Munford and now she's Munford's mayor. For years, though, she was oblivious.
Baseball, You Make It Hard to Love You
One afternoon last week I opened my laptop and spent way too much money on tickets to far too many spring training games and an overpriced West Palm Beach, Fla., hotel room for my upcoming baseball holiday. And then I read the news.
Before he was Santa, LaFain Freeman was a first-hand witness to Alabama's tumultuous '60s
Let's ask Santa Claus how old he is. "I'm older than dirt," he says, which is neither self-deprecating nor a pejorative. "As Santa Claus, I'm 1,784 (years old), born in 235 A.D. in a small town called Myra in east Asia. It's now in Turkey and the town is called Demre. Now that's as Santa." Let's again ask Santa Claus how old he is. "As a man, I'm 79."
AT A LATER DATE: For years after Alabama's statehood, Native Americans held on to sovereignty in the east
Even Alabama's bicentennial celebration is typical Alabama: complicated and complex, prone to historical revisionisms and grade-school explanations. If 200 years of Alabama history are fraught with shades of gray — in civil rights, in politics — the observance of the state's birth is just as murky.
Veterans Day 2019: A century ago, with Congress' blessing, immigrants became soldiers
On two May weekdays in 1918, hundreds of men gathered at one of Camp McClellan's newly built post exchanges. Their voices gave them away, Poles and Russians and Greeks and Italians along with the sounds of other native accents. They were soldiers in the U.S. Army. They wore American uniforms. But they weren't Americans.
Barber seminary a landmark institution for Anniston's black citizens
On a spring day in 1896, Daisy Reese stood high atop an Anniston hill alongside a notable gathering of white pastors and Northern Presbyterians and black residents who lived nearby.

Daisy was "a little negro girl," as one of the city's newspapers, The Hot Blast, described her.
FORGOTTEN DEAD: Commissioner wants to preserve site where soldiers were buried two centuries ago
RAGLAND — There's a spot along the Coosa River, not far from a dynamited lock and an Alabama Power Co. dam, where the bones of dead soldiers in pinch-toe coffins are arranged in military rows below the wooded surface of St. Clair County. Getting there requires permission, a tour guide, a machete and a gallon of insect repellant.
FOOTBALL SPOUSES: Being married to the coach has its ups and downs
There's so much that Rachel Smith could say about being the wife of a high school football coach. It would be part explanation, part joyous affirmation, even a slight warning about the hours and the pressure, the Friday nights and the comments, mostly polite, the victories and losses and lifetime friendships made along the way. But no one is prepared for it. It's impossible.
Here's the steeple! Calhoun County churches differ on what's up top
The steeple atop Pastor Ronny Moore's sanctuary was tall and sleek, a skyward beacon easily seen among the hills surrounding West Point Baptist Church in Jacksonville. Its color mimicked the clouds above. Windows adorned each side. At its apex stood a simple cross.

According to many renewable energy experts, a small "hybrid" electric system that combines wind and solar (photovoltaic) technologies offers several advantages over either single system.In much of the places, wind speeds are low in the summer when the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when less sunlight is available. Because the peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it.

Macc fighters provide an all-gold finish to the year
Macclesfield's top trio of female boxers came back from the ABAE Championships all clutching gold medals.
Macclesfield's top trio of female boxers came back from the ABAE Championships all clutching gold medals.
MBBC's Courtney Hughes entered the 50kg weight class to take on Chloe Hadley of Brentwood Youth ABC.
Both girls got of to a confident start as they measured up one another's range.
Hughes edged the first round and then really got into her rhythm, her confidence growing with each round as she produced an exdellent display, to which Hadley had no answer and she racked up a 28-8 points decision to take the gold medal.
Stablemate Beth Campbell entered the 58kg class, and she faced Abbie Mosley from Leicester Railwayman's ABC.
An action-packed bout swung both ways as each tried to take the upper hand.
Both girls came out of an energy-sapping bout with great credit but after the match went right to the wire Campbell took a 30-29 victory from the judges, another gold for Macclesfield.
MBBC's Carys Artingstall was the final local girl to compete.
She entered the 57kg class and after beating Amy Park of Pegasus in the semi-finals she was up against Eastburn ABC's Ambreen Sadiq.
The match once again produced skilful boxing from both corners and Artingstall knew she was behind and had it all to do in the final round.
A fine final round saw her take the Sunderland Street club's third gold medal with a 9-6 points decision.
Head coach Kevin Bradbury said: "It was a very emotional and proud day for all the coaches who were present on the day.
"These girls each have their own story and to see what they have achieved in such a short time is fantastic.
"Courtney, Beth and Carys have only been with us for a couple of years, so to win the national ABA's is a massive achievement.
"The girls gave great credit to Donna Shaw who introduced them to boxing and now they each have a gold medal, it's something they can be very proud of."
* All of the weekend's National ABAE female champions will be given an opportunity to develop their skills further as the ABAE will be holding training squads in the new year in the north and south, as well as a combined training camp in Sheffield, which is expected to take place early in the new year.

There are lots of stereotypes surrounding sorority recruitment, but are any of them actually true?


Change ain't easy, but should it be? | Where Are We Going So Fast?
Change ain't easy, but should it be?
Change ain't typically easy, but I don't believe it's meant to be.
Because it's basically asking you how bad you want it. How much are you willing to give in time, tenacity and tears to get what you need? Or, conversely, how hard are you willing to fight to stay exactly where you are?
Now, that doesn't mean change is good or bad. It always depends on the circumstances. But, sometimes, you have to be derailed from your routine, comfortable enough journey, knocked off your feet while you're having the wind knocked out of you, to stop, dust off your jacket, look around, and realize you never really wanted to be on those tracks anyway, that you didn't truly care about spending even a day in that destination.
So, you consult the train schedule on the station wall, fish some crumpled dollar bills out of your pocket, and buy a ticket on a new train. One that's gleaming hot silver in the sun, as if it was always there, waiting for you, just wondering when you'd ever get up the nerve to ride it.
And, today, finally, gloriously today, you will.

What seismic shift has taken place today?
And today markets are down… what seismic event has happened in the world economy to reverse the moves of Asian equities and oil prices? No seismic event has happened. The world economy is remarkably placid.
The moves in Chinese equities are being attributed to capital outflows, which is more of a truism than an explanation and adds little to the intellectual debate. Nonetheless one can regard the moves as "good" if they bring markets closer to fundamental value.
Carney of the Bank of England speaks on the topic of the financial stability report – which talked of capital requirement changes, a policy move that Carney has equated to monetary policy tightening in the past.
US consumer confidence is unlikely to show too much of a reaction to the equity moves. Rising house prices (data also due) more than offset the wealth effects. There is also services PMI data scheduled, along with the Richmond Fed survey.

Ukip failed to declare election expenses in seat lost by Nigel Farage
Nigel Farage stood for election in the South Thanet constituency
Peter Dominiczak, Political Editor
13 June 2016 • 9:22am
Peter Dominiczak
UK Independence Party (UKIP)
Ukip failed to declare thousands of pounds worth of general election spending in the seat eventually lost by Nigel Farage, an analysis suggests.
An analysis of election records shows that Ukip was potentially £10,500 over the legal spending limit of £15,000 in the constituency.
Documents show that Ukip split much of the expenses incurred during the campaign between Mr Farage and up to 64 local candidates.
It includes £4,420 to rent an office in Ramsgate, which was split between Mr Farage and 62 local candidates.
At all times UKIP kept strictly to the rules governing electoral spending, and there is no suggestion otherwise. Ukip spokesman
Records show that a total of £760 was also spent on a public meeting in April 2015 in the constituency. However, it was split 65 ways, meaning that Mr Farage would have declared a little over £10 for the event.
An analysis of 15 separate invoices apportioned £355.20 to Mr Farage.
However, the total value of the invoices is £13,869.89.
The Electoral Commission issues guidance to candidates on splitting campaign expenditure between candidates.
It states: "In all cases, you should make an honest assessment, based on the facts, of the proportion of the cost that can be fairly attributed to your campaign spending."
Experts have said that it is common practice in an election campaign for the main candidate to declare 50 per cent of the costs, allowing the other half to be split amongst local candidates.
A Ukip spokesman said: "At all times UKIP kept strictly to the rules governing electoral spending, and there is no suggestion otherwise."
The Conservative party is currently under investigation by the Electoral Commission after admitting it did not properly declare accommodation costs during the general election.
In a letter, a Conservative MP last week accused the commission of bias for not investigating Labour, the SNP and the Liberal Democrats over reports they did not properly declare election spending during the 2015 campaign.

The city's first Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) outreach clinic was recently held at PS 257 headed by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) and co-sponsored with the Graham Avenue Business Improvement District and the support of Councilman Anthony Reynoso's office. The event's purpose was to inform and encourage businesses in the district to comply with existing, but often ignored, ADA regulations.
In 2016, the Graham Avenue BID won a Neighborhood Challenge grant through Small Business Services for its proposal to fix storefronts that did not legally accommodate the physically challenged. During that time, the BID worked closely with MOPD and found that many small businesses were not aware of their responsibility to comply with the 25-year-old laws.
Many businesses wrongly thought that by having an inclined ramp going into their storefronts they met the ADA regulations. A number of businesses were threatened by federal lawsuits which resulted in the stores accepting expensive settlements rather than fighting the costly suits. The result was devastating for many stores and property owners who paid out settlements starting at $20,000, leaving no finances to correct the ADA problems. This left the stores open to repeated lawsuit by parties using the ADA laws in an unethical way and short-changing the physically handicapped community from proper access.
While the Graham Avenue BID successfully helped several stores with the grant money it had received, more work was needed both in the Graham Avenue BID district and city-wide. The first meeting encouraged businesses to bring photos of their storefronts allowing one on one discussions on specific problems and solutions. MOPD also provided valuable information on applying for waivers where the legal ADA requirements were either not physically or financially possible.
MOPD is currently planning other such meetings to help prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation and all public and private places open to the public.

George Cheyne (8 April 1790 5 June 1869) was an early settler in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.

Cheyne was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1790, the fourteenth of seventeen children. His father, John Cheyne was a doctor and his mother was Margaret Edmonstone.

George Cheyne married Grizzel Melville on 16 December 1830, at the Parish Church, in Clerkenwell, London.

He arrived in Fremantle aboard the Stirling with his wife and daughter, and a cargo of merchandise including a prefabricated house, 14 merinos, cattle and a pair of rabbits. He intended to settle in the area along the Swan or Canning Rivers as a farmer but found the best land was taken. Undeterred he pressed on to King George Sound and found business sites around Albany and selected land around the Kalgan River, Moorilup and on Mistaken Island.

Cheyne acquired land in the Kendenup area in 1832 and Cape Riche in  1836.

In 1839 Cheyne sold  of his land around Kendenup to John Hassell, who developed it as Kendenup Estate.

Cheyne moved permanently to Cape Riche in 1842 to trade with the crew of whalers in the area. He also introduced the Moir family, relatives of his from Scotland, to the area, with his nephew Andrew Moir arriving in 1841. Moir acquired the property from his uncle in 1858.
By 1843 Cheyne was supplying whalers operating in and around from his property at Cape Riche with items such as water, fuel, provisions, and fresh meat and vegetables. In 1837 Cheyne founded his own whaling operation on Doubtful Islands Bay.

His brother, Bruce Cheyne died aged 62, on 7 January 1856 in Albany.

He also acquired more grazing land along the Pallinup River and around Broomehill while establishing himself as a merchant, sandalwooder, whaler and shipchandler. Cheyne built a large granite house in Albany in 1862 then went to England to secure a better deal for his wool from his brokers. He then bought a house in Sussex and sold his Albany house to John Hassell.

Cheyne died in Dumfries, Scotland in 1869.

Several geographical features bear Cheyne's name including:
 Cheyne Creek, a tributary of the Kalgan River
 Cheyne Ledge and Cheyne Head, near Oyster Harbour on the north western side of King George Sound
 Cheyne Island and Cheyne Inlet near Cape Riche
 Cheyne Point near Duke of New Orleans Bay
 Cheyne Beach

American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) reported in 2009 that the four major sectors currently utilizing fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are construction, corrosion, marine, and transportation in descending order of total FRP shipped. All of these sectors are known to be billion dollar industries and they are all involved with applications subjected to freezing and thawing. FRP encompass many characteristics that are beneficial to these sectors and also in resisting this exposure. ASTM International has yet not developed a standard to test FRP materials resistance to freeze-thaw (FT) cycling exposure. The D20.18.02 committee of the ASTM is in the process of creating a test standard for freeze-thawing of FRP and has developed a draft standard. This study was conducted to assist in the development of this standard. A pultruded mat and roving E-glass reinforced polyester with aluminum tri hydroxide (ATH) filler was used. Three sample batches were subjected to FT-cycling. Two sample batches were subjected to manual FT-cycling; one was exposed to 30 days of initial moisture exposure (30W-samples) and the other to 60 days (60W-samples). The third sample batch was exposed to 30 days of initial moisture exposure and automatic FT-cycling through the use of a programmable temperature chamber (30TC-samples). The samples were first conditioned in distilled water at 23°C (77°F) for 30 days. Secondly they were exposed to a total of 100 FT-cycles each 6 hours long consisting of 3 hour of thawing in distilled water at 23°C and 3 hours of dry freezing at ?20°C (?4°F). The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of three sample batches was determined through ASTM D638 upon the completion of the 100 FT-cycles. The results from the three test environments showed similar degradation. The percent reductions in the samples mean UTS of the 30W-, 60W-, and 30TC-samples was found to be 21.0%, 17.6%, and 19.1%, respectively. The test parameters were evaluated by implementing several sample batches and through the use of the preliminary research conducted. Contributions to the development of the draft from the D20.18.02 committee were made based on these findings and are presented in this study.

Can a referendum truly be deemed "fair" if voters are thoroughly confused as to the consequences of one of its two options?
Two weeks from now, Metro Vancouver voters will begin receiving their transit referendum ballots in the mail. They will be asked whether they approve a regional sales tax of 0.5 percent, which will be used to generate $7.5 billion to fund transit and transportation improvements across the region.
It seems straightforward enough—until you consider that retaining the status quo is nowhere to be found on the ballot.
The result of a Yes vote is obvious. But what of a potential No victory? This is where things become confusing—which could bestow a massive advantage upon the No side.
There is a troubling lack of clarity as to the consequence of a No result in the referendum. Possibilities are numerous, ranging from the rejection of new transit and a massive expansion of highways and automobile use (against the wishes of the municipalities), through to merely collecting the $7.5 billion for new transit through a different type of regional tax, as well as everything imaginable in between.


Being a Fitness Professional it is understood terms and interpretations which are typical of this market, too to follow evolving patterns. With my experience, I have discovered that a variety of terms are worthy of a little much more explanation compared to that which they are approved. Apart from clarifying the definition of Health and wellness Related Fitness, this post means to drop some light on a few of the connected terms, and to show their particular differences.
Is it just done in a name?
The fitness globe seems to make use of the idea Health Related Fitness like a generic fitness concept - compatible with others like "Physical Fitness", "Fitness and health" or "Fitness". While all terms could be consisted of under the broad term Wellness and Physical conditioning, they independently describe different elements - both generic and specific. However, referrals to these and various other fitness-related terms are frequently vague, while consistency in their meant use is weak at finest; there is a kind of "normally accepted" usage for them, but people often count on own analysis, and this could result in confusion.
That is an excellent question. One could likely ask what is this principle all about - can we not simply use the terms "Fitness" or "Physical conditioning" rather?" Why Health "Associated"? The main factor stems from the truth that many health and wellness and fitness terms are made use of inconsistently and frequently refer to different ideas or concepts. Enter "Health Related Physical Fitness", a functioning term to address the basic state of health amongst the public.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the main authority in this field, inefficient definitions with vague and subjective wordings, in addition to interpretations consisting of terms which themselves require specifying, have actually contributed to confusing the term "Physical conditioning.". There exists no trusted guide for Fitness Professionals to measure "Physical Fitness", because the term has been so loosely and inconsistently specified.

Q: How to use annotation layer in PDF.js? Some of the PDF.js code mentions an "annotation layer", for example AnnotationLayerBuilder here:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/95e102c07bc257c2120fd7fd9141762b2c813a1c/web/annotation_layer_builder.js#L118
There is also pdfDocument.annotationStorage and pdfjsLib.AnnotationLayer, which - on all the documents I've tried - are empty, even in documents which do have text annotations.
I couldn't find any examples or documentation on the annotation layer and how it is supposed to be used, but it sure sounds interesting :)

*

*What is the annotation layer?  Is this talking about standard PDF annotations, as described in https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2018/what-are-annotations/ or https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_reference_1-7.pdf section 8.4 Annotations?  Or, is it something internal to PDF.js?

*How do I list the existing annotations from javascript code in PDF.js, and how do I add one?  (just for display; not expecting to be able to save it in the pdf, of course)  Can anyone provide a working code example?
Thanks!

A: Annotations are standard for the PDF file format as described in the links you provided. They are not a new concept to PDF.js.
How you get the annotations will depend on your situation. I'm building a view layer to replace the viewer the PDF.js team built. The basic idea there is you:

*

*Get a reference to the PDFDocumentProxy object via const doc = getDocument(url)

*Get a reference to a PDFPageProxy object via const page = await doc.getPage(num)

*Get the annotations via await page.getAnnotations()
If you're already using the viewer they built, it doesn't appear to be exposed anywhere.
