People often ask me how I can do what I do, given that I am older. I sometimes tell them the story of Bob and Edna.
I asked them the secret of their longevity. Their answer was simple. "It's because we have regular chiropractic care".

DB Outreach Virtual Talk by Laurance Doyle @ Zoom Webinar
Can Humpback Whales help us with the search for extraterrestrial intellIgence:
A Virtual Talk by Dr. Laurance Doyle
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has so far only looked for technology in space. But is there a way to tell if the message itself is intelligent? We will share research into the communication system of the humpback whales with the idea of coming up with an intelligence filter for SETI. We will also share a bit of the metaphysics behind this research.

Adventures in Motoring: The end of the road?
I'm not talking about saving a wreck or bringing a classic back to life. R33's are old, but not that old. They were pretty quick in their time, although now they struggle with, handling, acceleration, level of trim and fuel economy. Basically everything really is what you would expect from a car that ended production some 14 ish years ago.
To me Ms Skyline isn't a living and breathing thing. Who would want to drive 'high art' which basically is what I strove to create. What would be the point of it? Well ultimately there isn't a point, just the obsession that fills people to strive to create something.
Compared to other car marques it is a lonely existence, I have made some good friends but they are scattered to the winds and met some real BS merchants.
Most bizarre was the blog perhaps, that people would drop in and out of my 'Adventure' was unexpected. Although it is a big world out there, I guess that they can't all be bot's or wrong addresses?
Question is, would I do it again? Wah! You nuts?? No freaking way!
I think I will continue the blog for as long as anyone is interested.
As a last hurrah and whilst the car and myself are still intact. I had some photo's taken.
No Photo shop, just lighting involved.
I have three centre consoles now..
Great blog Karl, and pictures of car r cool..

«Хэ́ллоуин» () — американский фильм в жанре слэшер 2018 года, снятый Дэвидом Гордоном Грином по сценарию Грина, Джеффа Фрэдли и Дэнни Макбрайда. Это одиннадцатая часть серии фильмов о Хэллоуине и продолжение одноименного фильма 1978 года, при этом происходит ретроактивная преемственность (реткон) всех предыдущих продолжений. В фильме снялись Джейми Ли Кертис и Ник Касл, которые вновь исполнили роли Лори Строуд и Майкла Майерса, а каскадер Джеймс Джуд Кортни также изобразил Майерса. В фильме «Хэллоуин» также снимались Джуди Грир, Энди Матичак, Уилл Пэттон, Халук Билгинер и Вирджиния Гарднер. Сюжет фильма рассказывает о посттравматической Лори Строуд, которая готовится к последней схватке с Майклом Майерсом в ночь Хэллоуина, спустя сорок лет после того, как она пережила его серию убийств.

После выхода фильма Роба Зомби «Хэллоуин 2», сиквела 2009 года к ремейку оригинала 2007 года, два последующих продолжения были запущены в разработку бывшим правообладателем Dimension Films, соответственно, но ни одно из них не было завершено. В результате студия потеряла права на интеллектуальную собственность, которые позже получила компания Blumhouse Productions при участии Джона Карпентера. Карпентер, не согласный с тем, как в ремейке был изображен главный убийца Майкл Майерс, планировал помочь студии сделать следующий фильм "Хэллоуин" более страшным, чем предыдущие сиквелы. Режиссеры Дэвид Гордон Грин и Дэнни МакБрайд, которые уже были фанатами фильма, предложили свое видение компании Blumhouse и Карпентеру. Оно было принято и превратилось в сиквел оригинала, в котором Джейми Ли Кертис и Ник Касл вновь сыграли роли Строуд и Майерса.

Съемки проходили с января по февраль 2018 года в Чарльстоне, Южная Каролина, а в июне состоялись повторные съемки. Премьера фильма состоялась на Международном кинофестивале в Торонто 8 сентября 2018 года. В США фильм вышел в прокат 19 октября 2018 года на киностудии Universal Pictures, что стало первым участием дистрибьютора в серии со времен «Хэллоуин 3: Сезон ведьм» (1982). Фильм получил в целом положительные отзывы критиков, многие считали его лучшим сиквелом «Хэллоуина» и возвращением серии в форму, особенно высоко оценивая игру Кертис, режиссуру Грина и убийства. Фильм собрал более 255 миллионов долларов по всему миру и является самым кассовым фильмом жанра слэшер в долларах без поправок, побив рекорд, установленный фильмом «Крик» в 1996 году, а также установив несколько других рекордов кассовых сборов. Было выпущено два продолжения: «Хэллоуин убивает» (2021) и «Хэллоуин заканчивается» (2022).

Сюжет
Действие происходит на Хэллоуин 2018 года, спустя ровно 40 лет после Хэллоуина 78-го года. Майкл Майерс после той ночи был схвачен и снова помещён в лечебницу в Смитс-Гроув. Присутствовавший при его аресте Фрэнк Хокинз помешал Сэму Лумису, психиатру, приставленному к Майклу, убить последнего — Лумис был твёрдо уверен, что Майкл настоящее «зло в человеческом обличии». После смерти Лумиса психиатром Майкла был назначен ученик Лумиса, доктор Ранбир Сартан. Лори Строуд, единственная выжившая в ту ночь жертва Майкла, за это время родила дочь Карен, но все годы её преследовал страх, что настанет день, когда Майкл вырвется на свободу, чтобы довершить начатое. В итоге это превратилось в навязчивую идею, из-за чего Лори сначала развелась с мужем, а затем была лишена родительских прав на Карен — всё детство Карен прошло в постоянной муштре, где мать учила её обращаться с оружием. Карен, ставшая психологом, теперь живёт с мужем Рэем и дочерью Эллисон, которой она запрещает видеться с бабушкой. Лори же поселилась в доме посреди леса, где постоянно тренируется в стрельбе, готовясь к встрече с Майклом.

30 октября двое подкастеров-криминалистов, Аарон и Дана, приезжают в лечебницу, чтобы встретиться с Майклом Майерсом и узнать, что произошло в ту кровавую ночь, потому что это последняя возможность увидеть Майкла — поскольку за все эти 40 лет Майкл не проронил ни слова, то в ночь на 31 октября его собираются перевезти в другую лечебницу, более строгого режима. Аарон привозит с собой раздобытую в полиции маску Майкла, которую он носил в 1978 году, рассчитывая, что это заставит Майкла заговорить. Хотя Сартан говорит, что Майкл способен говорить, но просто не хочет этого делать, Майкл никак не реагирует на маску. Тогда журналисты отправляются к Лори, но и там никакого ответа, который бы их удовлетворил, они не получают. Тем же вечером Майкла в числе особых пациентов лечебницы перевозят в другую. Лори, узнав об этом, решает убить Майкла, но, наблюдая за ним из машины с револьвером в руках, в итоге так и не совершает задуманного. Она приезжает в Хэддонфилд к дочери в тот момент, когда её внучка Элисон обсуждает со своим парнем Кэмероном планы на Хэллоуин. Лори не сдерживает слёз и начинает просить прощения у Карен, рассказав при этом, что она была возле лечебницы и видела Майерса.

Той же ночью возвращающиеся с охоты отец и сын натыкаются на дороге на разбитый автобус из лечебницы и группу людей в белых больничных пижамах. Отец выходит из машины, чтобы узнать о случившемся, а сын в этот момент пытается связаться с полицией, но не зная местоположения, берёт ружьё и выходит из автомобиля, чтобы найти отца. Он находит на обочине раненого полицейского, который говорит ему, чтобы он уходил отсюда. Но мальчик идёт дальше, к автобусу, где неожиданно появляется сопровождавший пациентов доктор Сартан. От испуга мальчик стреляет прямо в плечо доктору и в панике возвращается в машину, где его уже ждёт Майкл. Он убивает мальчика, разбив ему голову об дверь.

Наступает 31 октября. Аарон и Дана останавливаются возле автосервиса и обнаруживают трёх убитых Майклом человек, с одного из которых он снял рабочий комбинезон, а затем сам Майкл убивает пару и забирает из их машины свою маску. Наступает вечер Хэллоуина, Майкл Майерс появляется в Хэддонфилде и устраивает кровавую резню. В общем счёте Майкл убивает 15 человек. Одной из жертв становится доктор Сартан, которому удалось сбить Майкла и убить помощника офицера Хоукинса, который уже готов был убить маньяка (Сартан же хотел поместить Майкла обратно в лечебницу), но затем Майкл убивает Сартана. Лори уговаривает дочь и зятя спрятаться в её доме, где есть секретный подвал. Через какое-то время туда приезжает полицейская машина. Рэй подходит к ней, подозрительно открывает дверь и видит тело полицейского и его обезглавленного напарника. Майерс подходит к Рэю со спины и убивает его. В схватке с Лори он ранит её ножом в живот, и та падает с балкона прямо на землю. Майкл отправляется к потайному входу, который ведёт в подвал, где находятся Карен и Эллисон.

Майкл ломает пальцы двери. Карен ждёт, когда появится Майкл. В руках у неё ружьё. И когда он появляется, она выстреливает ему прямо в голову. Из-за спины появляется Лори и выталкивает Майкла в подвал. Он падает вниз по лестнице. Карен и Эллисон поднимаются вверх. Однако Майкл встаёт, и успевает схватить Карен за ногу. Начинается борьба. Эллисон замечает кухонный нож на полу, и делает несколько проникающих ударов по руке Майерса. Карен выбирается. Лори запирает Майкла с помощью выдвижных лезвий, после чего включает газ и выбрасывает горящую шашку. Дом начинает возгораться. Лори, Карен и Эллисон выбираются оттуда живыми.

Их подбирает проезжавший мимо грузовик. В руке Эллисон остаётся нож, испачканный в крови Майерса.

В конце титров слышно дыхание Майкла, указывающее на то, что он выжил.

Производство

Разработка
В 2011 году было объявлено, что 26 октября 2012 года будет выпущен сиквел Хэллоуин II (2009) под названием Хэллоуин 3D. Однако проект так и не был создан.

Первая информация о планируемом одиннадцатом фильме появилась в июне 2015 года. Тогда стало известно, что картину начнут снимать в июле, а режиссёром станет Маркус Данстэн. Сценарием также должны были заняться Патрик Мелтон и Маркус Данстэн. Однако в дальнейшем режиссёра сменили, а дату начала съёмок перенесли.

В июле стало известно, что фильм станет прямым продолжением второй части Хэллоуина. Однако в дальнейшем было решено, что фильм продолжит первую часть, хотя он будет содержать отсылки и на другие части франшизы. События развернутся спустя 40 лет.

В декабре 2015 года СМИ рассказали о том, что Dimension Films потеряла права на франшизу, спустя 20 лет владения ими. Тем временем, продюсеры начали поиски нового покупателя. В феврале 2016 года информационное агентство The Wrap сообщило о возможном запуске телесериала по мотивам фильма «Хэллоуин». Однако, кинокомпанией оказалась Universal Pictures.

26 мая 2016 года было объявлено о том, что студия Blumhouse Productions и Miramax снимет новую часть серии «Хэллоуин».

В декабре 2016 года появилась информация о том, что режиссёром выступит Дэвид Гордон Грин, а сценарий ему поможет написать Дэнни Макбрайд.

В феврале 2017 года Дэнни Макбрайд в интервью Cinema Blend рассказал, что картина не будет перезапуском, а будет опираться на мифологию первых двух частей фильма, вышедших в 1980-е годы. Премьера состоится 19 октября 2018 года, через 40 лет после релиза оригинального фильма.

Также в феврале фанаты франшизы создали петицию, в которой просят создателей фильма утвердить на роль доктора Сэма Лумиса, которого в оригинале сыграл Дональд Плезенс, Роберта Инглунда, исполнившего роль Фредди Крюгера во всей франшизе Кошмар на улице Вязов. Позднее выяснилось, что доктор Лумис не появится в фильме.

Съёмки
Съёмки фильма начались 13 января 2018 года в Чарльстоне, Южная Каролина. Уже 16 февраля Джейми Ли Кертис закончила свои сцены.

В апреле появилась информация о том, что аудитория была разочарована финалом картины на тестовом показе 18 апреля в Калифорнии. В мае режиссёр Грин принял решение вернуться на съёмочную площадку для досъёмки, которую начали 11 июня.

Музыка
В октябре 2017 года режиссёр оригинального фильма Джон Карпентер подтвердил, что он, а также Коди Карпентер и Дэниел Дэвис заключили договор с создателями фильма о написании саундтрека к фильму. 19 сентября 2018 года в сети был опубликован первый трек, являющийся вариацией музыкальной темы для фильма 1978 года.

Список

Релиз

Премьера
Мировая премьера «Хэллоуина» состоялась на Международном кинофестивале в Торонто 8 сентября 2018 года в рамках раздела «Полуночное безумие». Премьера в кинотеатрах состоялась 19 октября, а в России — 18 октября.

Выпуск на DVD
В цифровом формате фильм был выпущен на дисках 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray и DVD 15 января 2019 года.

Телевидение
Премьера на федеральном российском телевидении состоялась в ночь с 31 октября на 1 ноября 2020 года на телеканале СТС.

Критика
Фильм получил положительные оценки кинокритиков. На агрегаторе рецензий Rotten Tomatoes фильм имеет рейтинг одобрения 79% на основе 387 рецензий и среднюю оценку 6,8 из 10. Критическое мнение сайта гласит: «"Хэллоуин" в значительной степени стирает с лица земли следы десятилетий разочаровывающих сиквелов, игнорируя все более сложную мифологию в пользу основных - но все еще эффективных — ингредиентов». На Metacritic фильм получил средневзвешенный балл 67 из 100 на основе 51 рецензии, что означает «в целом благоприятные отзывы». Зрители, опрошенные CinemaScore, дали фильму среднюю оценку «B+" по шкале от A+ до F, а на PostTrak фильм получил 75% положительных оценок и 65% «однозначно рекомендую», в то время как монитор социальных сетей RelishMix отметил «положительную реакцию» на фильм в интернете.

Питер Дебрюге из Variety считает, что фильм возвращает сериал к его истокам, называя его «актом фан-сервиса, замаскированным под фильм ужасов. Тот факт, что он работает как то и другое, означает, что Грин справился с поставленной задачей, связав воедино мифологию, которую создали Карпентер и компания, и в то же время предоставив множество свежих сенсаций — и убийств с жутким креативом — для молодой аудитории». В статье для The Verge Брайан Бишоп сказал, что фильм «лучше почти всех остальных сиквелов франшизы» и «является достойным завершением истории, которая началась 40 лет назад», а Лиа Гринблатт из Entertainment Weekly назвала его «верным, фундаментальным сиквелом (и к тому же смешным)». В своей рецензии для Bloody Disgusting Джо Липсетт написал: «В целом, "Хэллоуин" — достойное продолжение франшизы. Все действительно сходится в финале, что вполне логично, учитывая, что фильм создан для того, чтобы натравить Лори на Майкла. И в этом качестве "Хэллоуин" не разочаровывает». Джонатан Баркан из Dread Central написал: «"Хэллоуин" с любовью и уважением отдает дань уважения оригиналу 1978 года и в то же время делает очень смелое и решительное заявление о своем собственном существовании это, вполне возможно, самый страшный Майкл Майерс, который когда-либо был».

В неоднозначной рецензии Эрик Кон из IndieWire раскритиковал диалоги и постановку фильма, но сказал: «Сам "Хэллоуин" Карпентера был неровной поездкой, сделанной по дешевке, но поддерживаемой твердой хваткой режиссера на его мощные темы. Новый фильм работает сверхурочно, чтобы сохранить их в целости и сохранности, и в то же время всячески поддерживает связь с первой частью - от знаменитой жуткой синтезаторной партитуры до блочных оранжевых титров, завершающих сюжет». Брайан Таллерико из RogerEbert.com поставил 2 звезды из 4, написав, что «фильм заслуживает восхищения в своей тематической связи с видением Карпентера, но в этом фильме нет той несерьезной, жесткой режиссуры, которая была присуща влиятельной классике. Фильм Карпентера настолько отточен, что иногда некомпетентная небрежность этого фильма вызывает еще большее разочарование. Как и полное отсутствие атмосферы, еще одной сильной стороны оригинала». Скотт Мендельсон из Forbes считает, что фильм «не очень хорош и плотно срежиссирован, и он проваливается как игра персонажей и страшное кино». Кристофер Стюардсон из Our Culture Mag написал: «Поднимая некоторые интересные вопросы о безразличии к нарастающему ужасу, "Хэллоуин" рисует Майкла Майерса в современном мире с учетом и просчитанными страхами».

Наследие

Продолжение

В июне 2018 года Макбрайд подтвердил, что он и Грин первоначально планировали снять два фильма один за другим. Однако позднее они приняли решение сначала увидеть реакцию на первый фильм. В свою очередь, продюсер франшизы Малек Аккад в интервью заявил, что рассматривается и прорабатывается вариант создания ТВ-сериала о Майкле Майерсе. В октябре 2018 года Bloody Disgusting со ссылкой на свои источники сообщили, что работа над сиквелом уже началась. Вскоре Макбрайд подтвердил, что началось раннее производство сиквела.

В феврале 2019 года издание Collider подтвердило, что Скотт Тимс ведёт переговоры в качестве сценариста с Blumhouse Productions по нескольким проектам, находящимся в разработке. Тимс уже написал сюжетную обработку фильма до переговоров. Блум, Аккад и Блок вернутся в качестве продюсеров, а Кёртис, Грир и Матичак, как ожидается, вновь исполнят свои роли.

В июне 2019 года было объявлено о производстве сразу двух продолжений. 14 июля Джон Карпентер официально подтвердил эту информацию — «Хэллоуин убивает» выйдет 16 октября 2020 года (позднее из-за пандемии COVID-19 премьера была перенесена на 15 октября 2021 года), а «Хэллоуин заканчивается» — 15 октября 2021 года (премьера также перенесена на 14 октября 2022 года). Второй фильм имел кассовый успех, собрав по всему миру 131 миллион долларов при производственном бюджете в 20 миллионов долларов, и получил смешанные отзывы критиков, которые критиковали его сценарий и отсутствие инноваций. Третий фильм получил смешанные отзывы; похвалы были направлены на его постановки и музыкальную партитуру, некоторые критики сочли его улучшением по сравнению с предшественником, но некоторые критиковали его как слабое завершение трилогии.

Влияние
Успех фильма вдохновил на создание поколения мягких перезагрузок устаревших франшиз ужасов. Такие фильмы, как «Кэндимен» (2021), «Крик» (2022), «Техасская резня бензопилой» (2022) и «Восставший из ада» (2022), часто упоминаются как вдохновлённые подходом «Хэллоуина» к перезагрузке франшизы ужасов. В этих фильмах, известных как «реквелы» или «устаревшие сиквелы» («легаси-квелы»), используются общие приёмы, такие как возвращение актёров, заимствование названия из оригинального фильма в соответствующих сериях и иногда игнорирование некоторых или всех предыдущих сиквелов.

Sweet foods contain hidden salt risks
By Laura Crowley
29-Jan-2008 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 14:30 GMT

An industry body yesterday said consumers are unaware of the high
salt content on some sweet products such as popcorn, cereals and
hot chocolate, sparking calls for reformulation and improved
labelling.
The Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) has published new research this week to mark Salt Awareness Week 2008, which highlights the health risks posed to British children because parents are confused over salt content. "Many parents know that their children should ear less salt than adults" said Jo Butten, CASH nutritionist. "But they are still confused by labelling that does not clearly state the salt content for a realistic portion and they do not expect sweet foods such as cakes, muffins, puddings and breakfast cereals to contain high levels of salt." Numerous scientists are convinced that high salt intake is responsible for increasing blood pressure (hypertension), a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) - a disease that causes almost 50 per cent of deaths in Europe. In the UK, Ireland and the USA, over 80 per cent of salt intake comes from processed food. Reduction of salt in these products represents a major technological and safety challenge to producers. According to the UK government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition, four to six year olds should eat no more than 3g of salt a day, which is half the adult limit. One to three year olds should have no more than 2g a day, and seven to 10, no more than 5g a day. CASH's research found that, a single portion of Butterkist Butter Flavour Microwave Popcorn contains 2.2g of salt per portion. This exceeds the maximum limit for children under three, and is 73 per cent of the recommended maximum of salt for children aged four to six. Heinz Treacle Sponge Pudding contains 0.8g of salt per portion, equalling 40 per cent of the upper limit for a child under three, and 27 per cent of the limit for children between four and six years. Graham MacGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at St George's Hospital said: "We know that a lot of work has been done by some companies to reduce salt in products eaten by children. We want to see all manufacturers doing everything they can to reduce the salt they put in children's food.  "If they really cannot reduce the salt content in food eaten by children to reasonable levels, perhaps they should consider ceasing production."  The UK's Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said that reformulation within the industry meant salt consumption last year dropped by almost 2,000 tonnes in five food categories, according to new research carried out by TNS Worldpanel. While savoury snacks such as crisps experienced the largest salt reduction, the breakfast cereals sector decreased salt content by 238 tonnes. The same decrease applied to bread, a category where salt reduction started in the 1980s. Since 2004, the formulations used for at least £15bn (€20bn) worth of foods have less fat, sugar and salt. Peter East, director for TNS Worldpanel, said: "The average consumer purchased 0.3 per cent less salt in the past 12 months, which clearly shows that the focus placed on the Food Standards Agency, industry and others has had a significant effect on consumer behavour." However, CASH considers that more must be done. In November 2007, CASH worked with the parenting website Netmums.com to find out how much parents know about salt and health. In the survey of 2,375 parents, only 3 per cent on the parents taking part knew that a blueberry muffin has more salt than two standard bags of crisps (1.1g salt versus 0.5g in each bag of crisps). "We want to see clear front of pack labelling, including information on how much of a child's daily limit the food supplies, on all foods eaten by children," added Butten. According to the FDF, easily recognisable GDA labels are now used by 58 companies and feature on the front of more than 20,000 product lines. This accounts for over half of all food packs sold in the UK. Last week, the UK government unveiled the first steps it will take in its national strategy to fight obesity, earmarking £372m (€501m) for the cause. Its labelling proposal, called for a "single, simple and effective" food labelling system, which will be developed in partnership with the food industry. It is designed to provide consumers with consistent information, following concerns that the three different labelling schemes in use today could be leading to confusion.

There is no project yet to harness methane gas from quarries. Presently, Patna Municipal Corporation is letting the gas into the atmosphere that can be used to produce electricity. The state government can produce 2MW of power from quarries that are filled with 750 tonnes of garbage every day and placed in fallow land.
Patna High Court has also cautioned innumerable times on garbage output and the way they are managed. I have also indicated through media that another disaster like the Bhopal gas tragedy may occur if civic authorities fail to take steps to control gas emanating from garbage dumped in various quarry pits.
Similarly, I have warned that most of the apartments built on dumping grounds are accumulating methane gas underneath the ground and a minor tremor or any gas leakage prove to be devastating on these apartments endangering the lives of the inhabitants.
Unfortunately, there is no pollution control board in Bihar and if it exists, it does not have any expert in the field of solid waste technology and management.
Nitrogen Dioxide, on the other hand, besides aggravating respiratory illness and causing haze to form by reacting with other particles in the air, causes acid rain and pollutes water.
High concentration of Carbon Monoxide in the air reduces oxygen supply to critical organs like the heart and the brain. At a very high level, it can cause dizziness, confusion, unconsciousness, and even death.
Pollution can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, reduced lung function, irregular heartbeat, asthma attacks, heart attacks and premature death in people with heart and lung disease.
The government's failure to address these health issues has put the mass at a crossroad in Bihar.

Q: How to use a different texture on intersecting part of 2 quads I'm looking for a way to dynamically change a part of a Quad that has a SpriteRenderer attached to it. Let's say I have a red Quad and a blue Quad, and then I drag one onto the other (fast or slow), the intersecting part should be colored using a green sprite. This illustration shows the scenario I'm trying to solve.

Can someone please help me with this?

A: You have two options:
First, if your mid color will be the correct mixture of other two color, in this case it would be yellow, you can use Mobile Particle/Additive or Mobile Particle/Multiply Shaders.
In a second way, you can write your own shader that takes the intersection area as parameter and paint your textures according to parameters.

Malcolm Nance on 'OK' Symbol at Army/Navy Game: 'This Is Now a National Scandal'
'— even though it might not be a scandal'
GIBSON: "Joining me to talk about this, Malcolm Nance, author and MSNBC contributor. You are a Navy veteran. What is your take on this?"
NANCE: "I am an old Navy veteran. That is bad for this take since I am a chief. Let me tell you as an old chief I take a very dim view of their behavior in front of the camera. I cannot tell you whether it was a white power symbol or whether it was the make you look game. One of them appeared to be the make you look game. The other didn't. You know what? I'm going to leave it to the commandant of West Point. The commander of the U.S. Naval academy who, believe me, they are going to be going through this with a scythe. The appearance of dignity of West Point and the naval academy have been breached and that is precisely why by tomorrow morning we are going to have some very decisive looks into precisely what happened. Sign of the times? Why do we see more and more of these sentiments?"
NANCE: "We are not sure whether we are seeing that sentiment. As you know, alt-right hijacked the okay symbol doing this in front of, you know, television cameras and photographs, which makes the symbol WP for white power. For a long time the media was playing this role and believing that that was just a hoax that was being used. It is now being used everywhere as a symbol of white supremacy, white power, pro-Trumpism. We have seen police officers, including one who was on a security detail for the vice president, was fired because they were using these symbols. But, you know, there does exist this subculture within the armed forces that plays this stupid little game in which you put your, you know, an okay symbol below the waist and the other person has to try to put his finger through it or you get punched. That has been around since before my time in the armed forces, and my father's time in World War II. But what we are seeing now is you may be seeing people who have, you know, not doing good order and discipline in the ranks, but you may also be seeing people who have an opportunity to present a white power symbol. And again we are not going to be the arbiters of this. The armed forces are, and they are going to take an extremely dim view of it."
GIBSON: "Every single — anybody who played basketball knows that's also a sign for the three-pointer. So like we said, it's all about intent. Back to the students, what disciplinary action do you think these students could possibly face?"
NANCE: "Well, they are already facing it because by the time that they got back to their buses to go back to the academy or up at West Point they will have been identified by their senior non-commissioned officers or senior cadets who were actually very clear who they were. By that point it will have gone up the chain of command. By to when they arrived back at the academies, and preliminary investigations have been started at the cadet leadership level, not to mention a large hammer coming down from the commandant's office and commander's office at the naval academy. This is now a national scandal even though it might not be a scandal. But you know what? We are going to find out and all of their senior non-commissioned officers, senior ranking officers are going to be coming down on top of them like a ton of bricks because they have disgraced the armed forces, whether they were, as we say, lallygagging and playing around, or whether they actually had the intent to make that symbol in front of a national audience."
GIBSON: "Malcolm, thank you, sir, for your expertise and your service."

HomeSportsGovernor Signs Bill on Transgender Athletes
Governor Signs Bill on Transgender Athletes
June 3, 2021 admin Sports 0
Transgender student rights have been at the forefront of national and local conversations, including at School Board meetings around the state. Tim Shortt/Florida Today
(Source: www.daytonatimes.com) – TALLAHASSEE – Speaking at a private school in Jacksonville on the first day of Pride Month, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday signed a wide-ranging education bill that includes a ban on transgender females participating on girls' and women's high-school and college sports teams.
The measure (SB 1028), one of the most-controversial bills of the 2021 legislative session, will make female athletes' eligibility for sports teams contingent on their "biological sex" on birth certificates issued "at or near the time of the student's birth."
"I can tell you this, in Florida, girls are going to play girls' sports, and boys are going to play boys' sports. That's what we're doing, and we're going to make sure that that's the reality," DeSantis said, flanked by Republican lawmakers and student-athletes at Trinity Christian Academy.
Within an hour of DeSantis signing the bill, the Human Rights Campaign announced it intends to file a lawsuit challenging the new law.
"Gov. DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are legislating based on a false, discriminatory premise that puts the safety and well-being of transgender children on the line," Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David said in a statement.
Takes effect on July 1
Under the measure, which is set to go into effect July 1, student-athletes who contend they are "deprived of an athletic opportunity" because of violations of the law will be able to sue their schools or colleges.
"We're not just setting a standard, we're also providing ways where that fairness and the equality can be enforced on behalf of our girls and our women athletes," DeSantis said.
The measure also sets up a potential showdown between colleges and universities that comply with the new law and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the main governing body for college sports.
In April, the NCAA issued a statement that said "only locations where hosts can commit to providing an environment that is safe, healthy and free of discrimination should be selected" for such things as tournaments and championship events.
The new law would give colleges and universities a cause of action to file lawsuits "against the governmental entity, licensing or accrediting organization, or athletic association or organization" if they suffer "direct or indirect harm" related to violations of the law.
DeSantis took aim at the NCAA during the bill-signing event Tuesday.
"We will stand up to groups like the NCAA who think that they should be able to dictate the policies in different states. Not here, not ever," DeSantis said.
Legislation criticized by Dems
During the legislative session, opponents of the bill pointed to lack of complaints in Florida about participation of transgender student-athletes in sports. At Tuesday's event, Republicans enlisted the help of a student-athlete from Connecticut in trying to make the case for what's dubbed the "Fairness In Women's Sports Act."
"Sports have always had separate rules to ensure fairness. Everyone should have the chance to participate in sports, but they need to compete where it's most fair," said Selina Soule, a track-and-field athlete who was part of a group that sued the governing body for Connecticut high-school sports.
Florida Senate Democrats, however, criticized the legislation as being purely political and not aimed at solving a real problem. The ban was added to a bill that largely focuses on charter schools in the waning days of the legislative session that ended April 30. A stand-alone bill on the transgender issue had earlier stalled in the Senate.
"By folding the transgender ban into the charter school legislation, Republicans in Tallahassee rejected both science and reason, openly attacking vulnerable LGBTQ+ children without a single shred of evidence that a problem even exists," the Senate Democratic caucus said in a prepared statement.
Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, cited potential economic fallout if the NCAA decides to pull tournaments and championship games out of Florida.
"The consequences for states that have passed anti-LGBTQ+ laws are clear – bigoted policies lead to major economic loss. Today, Gov. Ron DeSantis allowed ignorance to prevail and took our state backwards in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality. We won't forget it," Eskamani said in a statement Tuesday.
The NCAA did not immediately respond to questions Tuesday from The News Service of Florida about whether future tournaments and championship games are at risk of being moved from the state.
DeSantis' signing of the bill – and the timing – riled LGBTQ advocacy groups.
Equality Florida, which fought the bill during the legislative session, announced that a series of rallies will be held in the state to "fight back" and "protect trans kids."
The governor was asked Tuesday about the message he was sending by signing the legislation on the first day of Pride Month.
"It's not a message to anything other than saying we're going to protect fairness in women's sports," DeSantis responded.

Mikey Garcia added the IBF lightweight title to his growing resume by dethroning previously undefeated Robert Easter Jr. by unanimous decision at a rocking Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA Saturday night.
All three judges had Garcia winning the fight by scores of 118-109, 117-110 and 116-111.
Maxboxing scored the fight 117-110 for Garcia.
It took Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) a few rounds, but eventually he figured out what he needed to defeat Easter.
Easter said before the fight he would box and box some more. He did. He used his significant advances in height and reach to stab Garcia with jabs.
Garcia, a natural counterpuncher, had to chase Easter and time the taller man. It wasn't easy. His quick jab did find Easter's face. The complexion of the fight changed in round three when Garcia was able to get under Easter's wingspan and land some crisp body shots.
Later in the stanza, fighting on the inside, Garcia,30, tagged Easter (21-1, 14 KOs) with a right left combination that sent the Toledo, OH native to the canvas for the second time in his career. Easter got up with a shocked look on his face. He had said before the fight that Garcia was overrated. He likely didn't believe that anymore.
Easter,27, was back to moving laterally in round four, but Garcia popped him a stiff jab and a solid left hook. With his hometown crowd chanting, "M i k e y," Garcia stalked and rocked in the next few rounds.
Whenever he forced Easter into the ropes, he made him pay. Easter connected with a solid right in round six, but his jab was his best friend.
Problem was, Garcia was doing the better work. He landed a sweeping right hook in round seven.
Easter got off his bicycle in round nine and rumbled with Garcia. Perhaps he could feel his title slipping away.
He landed a grazing right hand and a few other blows, but nothing bothered Garcia-who landed the harder and more telling shots.
In the final rounds, Garcia out-landed Easter by a 95-34 clip.
Garcia wants to move back up to welterweight in his next fight.
"I'm here for the biggest challenges," Garcia said. "I don't know if there is anyone that is a bigger challenge than Errol Spence. I know he's up to fight everyone so let's make it happen. I think it can be made. I think that's the next big fight coming up.


I was nine years old when the Detroit Tigers won the World Series and trounced the San Diego Padres in five games! As a fan of Detroit sports the 80's-90's were a pretty good time between the Pistons and Tigers.
This old stadium had been host to the Detroit Tigers since 1912 and to think Ty Cobb ran those bases thrilled me when I was just single digits old. My first memories of going to "The Corner" were usually on my birthdays with my Dad and Grandpa. I always wanted a Trolley Ride thru the city. We would normally stop off at Lafayette Coney Island for some dinner and always a soda and peanuts for me during the game. When I was a little bit older my Dad and I would stop off at a bar names Hoots Robinsons now called the UFO Factory. My Dad was friends with the bar tender and I think his name was Sal. He always made sure that we had easy in and out parking (front spot) and a beer for my Dad.
I was a die hard Kirk Gibson fan and they day he left Detroit was the first time I understood sports is a tough business. As a young adult of legal age I found my path in the Bleachers! I was a Bleacher Creature! I heckled and drank beer like the best of them and with a ticket price of $4-6 bucks I could afford to go to a lot of games. My friends and I did not want any other seat options and we made every opening day and we caused a lot of noise and fun (chaos).
I met a girl one Friday night game and dated her for a couple of years. I had one of my first legal beers at the corner. My friends and I created a lot of videos of us cheering and chanting and of course the doing the wave! I can remember we heckled Torri Hunter from the Minnesota Twins so badly at the end of the game (which he played amazing and for sure he jacked a homer or two) he flipped us off and we loved him for it. I miss chanting "takes great and less filling" and the rest of the chats usually had a F-word attached with them.
I understood why the Tigers organization wanted a new home with Comerica Park so it could be closer to the rest of the Illitch empire. I for one just wished they could have found a way to continue using "The Corner" for Baseball. The history and legends of the game who played here is an amazing list. I am glad I spent the time I did in here and will forever cherish those family memories.
On one of the last days of the stadium at sunrise I stood in the back of a pick up truck to get over the fence and took this shot. This picture of old Tiger Stadium is a panoramic picture and maybe most people wont care about it but for me…its a journey to a time and a place that will never exist again.


Hoola is such a well known and raved about bronzer that I feel like I HAVE to try it. I've heard so many good things about this, and how great it is for contouring with its matte finish. And if you haven't heard me previously mention it, I laaaav anything matte and especially makeup. I really need to teach myself how to contour properly so hopefully this will help me!
Poisebalm is one of Benefit's tinted lip balms which are in line with their liquid blushes. I have read many many reviews of these balms and I have to admit that the main reason I want this is for the absolutely gorgeous packaging. The balm itself seems to be quite sheer but gives off such a beautiful pink glow on the lips. I would love to try any of these tinted balms from Benefit – but Poisebalm is the one I am most looking forward to trying!
I have yet to have tried a Benefit foundation but have heard such good things – especially about their Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation. This is an oil free brightening foundation that also contains SPF 25 – which I am super excited to try. I need a new 'go to' foundation and I am really hoping this could be it.
Oily skin and huge pores are two issues I definitely suffer with, so the Porefessional Agent Shine sounds like it would be a match made in heaven for me. I already love the original Porefessional as a primer, but I love the idea of a pore and shine fighting powder for over the top of my makeup. I have read a few reviews about this that the packaging isn't the best but I'm definitely willing to give this a go regardless.
Last but not least is Benefit's IT'S POTENT! eye cream. I received a generous sample of this in September's Birchbox (you read that review HERE) and I have really fallen in love with it so I definitely need the full size version. This cream has really helped with my under eye bags and isn't greasy or heavy at all. I really enjoy using it in the morning and at night for a refreshing under eye feeling and I can see the benefits of it already.
What's on your benefit wishlist? Is there anything you think I should try?

Sho-bud History - Maverick
Want a pedal steel guitar for just $400? Sho-Buds answer was the Maverick. Designed with 3 foot pedals and one knee lever, the player of this single 10 string model could get most of the Nashville pedal steel sounds. Production started in the very early 1970's and this model was designed with the beginner in mind. The changer and undercarriage was based on the old permanent system and could not be changed. The three foot pedals were standard E9 changes and the one knee lever standard lowered the second string and eighth string one half tone. The first production Mavericks had a solid birdseye maple body with clear lacquer finish, and a raised wood neck with the regular tear drop keyhead. Almost all of these early Mavericks were the clear (blonde) natural finish. Later though, Sho-Bud came up with a way to cut the cost of building the Maverick by covering the unfinished body with a brown wood grained covering. The tear drop keyhead was also changed to an ash tray style keyhead. The Mavericks were popular and many were produced through the years. These models were built pretty much continually from the early 70's on. In the early 1970's, Sho-Buds suggested price for the solid birdseye maple style was $425. A later catalog lists the price for $395. The 1976 catalog suggested price list for the wood grained covered Maverick was $360 retail. Its interesting to note that the Gretsch Company's suggested price list for the same wood grained covered Maverick was $790 in 1981.

About 50 volunteers participated in the October 2011 Trash Pick Up, starting in two locations and spreading out over 1 ½ miles of the Laguna channel, as before. This time, we collected about 100 gallons of trash – carefully divided into actual garbage, recycling, redeemable glass and plastic bottles, and cans. Many thanks to all those who participated, to Teresa Lopez (Community Organizer of St. Joseph's Health System – Sonoma County Health Communities) – and to members of C-CORP (Concerned Citizens of Rohnert Park) for their successful outreach efforts in the local neighborhood. Thanks also to recycling experts Melissa Bushway, and Patrick Carter of Sonoma County Waste Management Agency, to Shaun Horne of Sonoma County Water Agency, and to Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District for again lending us extra gloves and trash grabbers. And thanks to SSU's community service group JUMP, and our interns from SSU and SRJC for helping to make this day a success!
The big question now is where all this trash comes from, and what can be done about it? We think we have now cleaned up most of the "legacy trash" that had been accumulating for many years. Most of what we found was near the storm drain exits – graphic evidence that what we're finding now has been washed into storm drain system from streets, parking lots, yards etc. We also found copious amounts of dog poop. Why don't more dog owners take responsibility for cleaning up after their dogs? – it's disgusting and dangerous. Trash not only looks ugly, it's dangerous for wildlife, pollutes the waterways, and damages not only our local creeks but also adds to the islands of plastic trash accumulating in the Pacific Ocean (for more information see http://www.algalita.org/index.php) What can be done to reduce the use of items that become trash in the first place – plastic bags, plastic bottles, throwaway items, unecessary and excess packaging?
CCC's Trash Pick Up event on April 9, 2011 was a tremendous success and we broke all previous records, because over 100 volunteers participated, over 50 at each of two separate locations simultaneously! Together we rescued approximately 500 gals. of trash and recyclables out of about 1 ½ miles of the Laguna channel in Cotati and part of Rohnert Park (from Liman Way to Commerce Blvd.) before it could get washed downstream into the rest of the Laguna de Santa Rosa, the Russian River, and the Pacific Ocean. Good job everyone and THANK YOU!

Мария Владимировна Хитрикова (28 июня 1990, Днепропетровск, УССР — 2 марта 2012, Эльбрус, РФ) — украинская альпинистка и скайраннер. Трёхкратный призёр чемпионатов Украины по альпинизму в высотном классе, неоднократный призёр международных забегов на Эльбрус. Номинант премии «Стальной ангел» за восхождения на восьмитысячники Гашербрум I и Гашербрум II. Трагически погибла во время восхождения на Эльбрус.

Краткая биография
Родилась в семье Владимира и Елены Хитриковых. Отец — мастер спорта СССР по альпинизму, участник советской экспедиции на Лхоцзе по Южной стене, мать также была альпинисткой.

Уже в 12-летнем возрасте совершила восхождение на Эльбрус, а в 16 ей покорился первый семитысячник — пик Ленина. Летом 2011 года вместе с польской альпинисткой Александрой Дзик совершила бескислородное восхождение на свой первый восьмитысячник — Гашербрум II, а после на Гашербрум I (Хидден-Пик) — 13-ю по высоте вершину мира (также без кислорода). За восхождение на два восьмитысячника в одном сезоне была номинирована на получение премии «Стальной ангел».

За свою короткую альпинистскую карьеру трижды становилась призёром чемпионата Украины в высотном классе.

Пропала без вести 2 марта 2012 года во время спуска с Эльбруса, на который совершала восхождение в качестве руководителя группы из трёх альпинистов. На спуске группа сбилась с маршрута в условиях непогоды, о чём сообщила по телефону спасателям около в 20:30 по московскому времени. Одного из участников группы — Романа Куцея удалось спасти, 4 марта в районе скал Пастухова на высоте 4700 метров спасателями было обнаружено тело Марии, тело третьего участника группы — Дениса Лисова так и не найдено.

The Kansas Tax Code Undermines Your Tax Reform Benefits!
The historic Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 gave federal tax relief to families and businesses across the country. Americans are seeing bigger paychecks and expanded benefits at work.
However, because of the way the Kansas tax code is structured, many in our state have actually seen an unintended state-level tax increase that has undermined the benefits of federal tax reform.
This bill would return an estimated $150 million to Kansas taxpayers, which would enhance, rather than undermine, the benefits of federal tax reform in the state.
Together we can change the status quo here in Kansas. Please tell officials to support S.B. 22, today!
I urge you to support Senate Bill 22 and protect hardworking Kansans from an unintended tax hike caused by our state tax code.
S.B. 22 would help protect Kansas taxpayers from this unintended tax increase and ensure that the benefits of tax reform are flowing fully and directly to taxpayers, rather than to state government coffers. The bill would return an estimated $150 million to Kansas taxpayers.
Please support S.B. 22 and help protect Kansas taxpayers!

President Trump, who knows a thing or two about bankruptcy, says Puerto Rico's public debt should be wiped out. We agree.
The commonwealth owes bondholders somewhere on the order of $70 billion, with most of that debt tied to general-obligation bonds, revenue bonds and bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA).
Ahead of the wide devastation wrought by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, we were of the view that the commonwealth could manage perhaps 20 to 30 percent of its general-obligation and revenue-bond debt and that PREPA could pay off perhaps 30 percent of its debt.
Now, as the island and its economy reel from the carnage of the hurricanes, we see the only viable way forward as a zeroing-out of the bonds in question and an immediate cessation of interest payments. Puerto Rico's badly-crippled economy must rebuild, and the only way for that to happen is for legacy governmental debt to be handled in a way that won't impair the restoration of markets and physical development.
This is a necessary remedy that will affect three sets of bondholders.
First, the large investment houses like Franklin Templeton, Oppenheimer, Citi and JP Morgan, which own large chunks of bonds. These investment houses, however, have vast and diverse holdings in the trillions of dollars that are hedged against just about every eventuality.
Second, a host of hedge funds that bought into the Puerto Rico bond market at a discount. These hedge funds have made extraordinary gains on this debt by way of interest-rate payments on the face value of the discounted bonds.
Third, small investors who live in Puerto Rico and elsewhere who stand to suffer the most. These investors have no hedges against these losses, and (unlike hedge funds) have not reaped extraordinary gains on Puerto Rican debt.
The way out of this is not pretty but there is ample precedent.
Puerto Rico's badly-crippled economy must rebuild, and the only way for that to happen is for legacy governmental debt to be zeroed out.
A considerable portion of these bonds are insured by MBIA, Ambac and Assured Guaranty, which are contractually obligated to take over payments, a reality that will cause some shock to their stock prices.
Puerto Rico has made premium payments on its insurance policies and the guarantors must make good on their promise. To help offset their losses, these companies can be given first option on future bond offerings by Puerto Rico.
Bondholders are not without recourse. They can—and should—pursue a course of action against the underwriters, law firms, accountants, financial advisors and credit-rating agencies that put the bond deals together in the first place. Clues on how to proceed can be found in a 2016 audit of PREPA debt. The Securities and Exchange Commission can be pressed now on its investigation of PREPA's bond deals, and the agency can be instrumental in streamlining a resolution and avoiding needless litigation.
BONDHOLDERS THROUGH THE AVENUES ABOVE CAN RECOVER a modicum of their original investment, and as Puerto Rico emerges from its crisis the its government alongside the federal PROMESA board can establish a claim-resolution process for small investors, who should be paid 100 percent of their principal.
[ZH: as a reminder, Kyle Bass suggested PR bonds as good as worthless…The idea that the island, with a workforce of just 1.4 million people, will ever be able to pay back $70 billion in debt is ridiculous, he said.
These are two different questions – one is, should we help with hurricane? Absolutely. We should do everything possible.
Puerto Rico is just a simple math 101 question.
But on the debt question I just think you have to be a little crazy to think that $100 billion worth of debt or even $70 billion of on-balance sheet debt is worth anything with 1.4 million workers in an economy like Puerto Rico's.
When you look at sovereigns and you look at history of sovereign defaults, recoveries and wipeouts are $0.10-$0.20 on the dollar – that's what I think people are going to end up with.
Finally, liability must be apportioned, and criminal action must result so as to restore public trust that has been damaged by the failure of a whole "stakeholder" class that is responsible for what has happened debt-wise.
The PROMESA board, whose job it is to act as a comptroller, must come forward now and install new budgeting and debt policies, moving with an eye toward rebuilding the economy and supporting the citizenry. The board will need help from outside receivers and/or independent management. My organization, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, has recommended the appointment of a special inspector general.
Bond defaults in the municipal credit market are rare – especially big defaults like this one – but they happen. Moody's Investors Services publishes an annual history of such events, and since 1970 has covered 84 instances of public bond defaults and bailouts.
Workouts typically allow some recovery by bondholders, but, more important, workouts—which vary widely by circumstance—can set the stage for borrowers to rebuild.
If the Puerto Rico economy is to have any chance of recuperation it cannot be saddled with the crushing effect of decades of bad deals.
The president presents a role model of sorts here, having been tied repeatedly to bankruptcy, and having always come back.

Below are a number of calculations that Harvest can calculate using various sensors attached to our monitoring systems. Check the list of sensors at the bottom of each description to see if you already have these sensors. If you do, it is as simple as calling and asking for the calculation to be added to your page. If you don't already have the sensors, give us a call and we can let you know if it will work with your unit and what the addition will cost.
Australian Apparent Temperature (Feels Like)
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology, using a model developed by the US Navy, researched and then developed their own formula, the Australian Apparent Temperature.
The apparent temperature, invented in the late 1970's, was designed to measure thermal sensation in indoor conditions. It was extended in the early 1980's to include the effect of sun and wind.
The formula is:
Ta = dry bulb temperature (°C)
e = water vapour pressure (hPa)
v = wind speed (m/s) at an elevation of 10 m
The vapour pressure can be calculated from the temperature and relative humidity using the equation:
The Australian formula includes the important factor of humidity and is somewhat more involved than the simpler North American model. The North American formula was designed to be applied at low temperatures (as low as −46 °C), when humidity levels are also low.
Bacchus Botrytis Model
Botrytis cinerea is a disease that affects soft fruits, mainly wine grapes, usually affecting vines that experience constant wet or humid conditions, or over irrigation. It can lead to the loss of produce.
To detect Botrytis risk we monitor leaf wetness using the Decagon leaf wetness sensor. For best results the sensor is recommended to be placed NEAR the crop but not in it to avoid it being sprayed. It is also recommended that the sensor be mounted at a 10 degree angle so it is almost horizontal. This will give the best data results.
By measuring the duration that leaves have been wet, and utilizing a temperature sensor we can apply these to the Botrytis disease risk model and provide an output in the form of an infection index value. When this index reaches 1.0 there is a high probability of infection and crops should be sprayed or irrigation reduced or stopped.
Data from the leaf wetness sensor is fed into a calculation based on research from the University of California - Agriculture & Natural Resources. Disease model 1 was used - as referenced in this article.
The equation specifically is:
I= 84.37 - 7.238T + 0.1856T2
Where I is risk index and T is the mean air temperature during a wet hour. The I values were summed for the duration of each wet period. After four hours of "dry" the risk index is reset.
Required Sensors: Temperature Sensor, Leaf Wetness Sensor
The Dew Point is the temperature at which a pocket of air (in this case around the temperature/humidity sensor) would form dew.
To calculate the Dew Point temperature, the unit requires a temperature and humidity sensor to be attached.
The Dew Point temperature is directly related to the temperature of the air in a given humidity. If the humidity is 100% then the Dew Point temperature will be equal to the temperature of the air. As the humidity decreases, so does the Dew Point temperature.
The Dew Point is helpful for predicting if and when dew will form on the vines. It is also important to note that if the Dew Point falls below freezing (0°c) then it is known as the frost point. This is a good indication that any dew forming will instead be in the form of a frost.
Required Sensors: Temperature/Humidity Sensor
Downy Mildew
Downy mildew is driven by the weather. The disease can devastate individual properties and in some seasons, affect production from the regions. It occurs sporadically according to the suitability of conditions for infection. Periods of high risk from Downy can be determined by monitoring the properties micro climate for factors such as temperature, rainfall, relative humidity (RH) and leaf wetness.
The rule of thumb for the primary infection of Downy Mildew is 10:10:24 which gives a guide to the conditions in which infection might occur, i.e. at least 10mm rainfall is needed while temperatures are at least 10ºC during a 24 hour period.
We have taken this rule of thumb and applied it to the weather station data to give a risk period for the primary infection of the disease.
Required Sensors: Temperature Sensor, Rain Gauge
Growing Degree Days (GDD)
Growing degree days are used to estimate the maturity of crops during a growing season. We calculate GDD10 values (GDD50 for Fahrenheit), which means that the average daily temperature is accumulated only if it is above 10°C (50°F), and below 30°C (86°F). More specifically, we use the standard GDD formula:
GDD10 = max(0, Tavg−10)
where Tavg is a day's mean temperature. Each day's GDD value is then added to the current total for the period, and this summed result is displayed on the web page.
Required Sensors: Temperature Sensor
Potential Evapotranspiration (PET)
Evapotranspiration is a term that describes the amount of water that travels to the air from sources of evaporation, such as water bodies, soil, and vine/tree canopies, and water lost through plant transpiration.
Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) is defined as the amount of evaporation that would occur if a sufficient water source were available.
To calculate the Potential Evapotranspiration we require the weather station to have a temperature and humidity sensor, wind speed and direction sensor, and a solar radiation sensor.
Data from the sensors are fed into a calculation based on an article (see the article here) by Jay M .Ham, Professor, Department of Agronomy, Kansas State University. The calculated value is recorded in mm/hr as well as total Evapotranspiration, in mm, experienced over the time period being viewed.
By knowing how much water has been lost due to Evapotranspiration, a grower is able to confidently know how much irrigation will be needed to replace the water lost.
Required Sensors: Temperature/Humidity Sensor, Wind Speed/Direction Sensor, Solar Radiation Sensor
Powdery Mildew (Gubler Model)
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects many different plants. The damage is caused to both the leaves and fruit, and if left unchecked, will result in total crop loss as well as the potential death of the plant.
The calculation we use is based on the Conidial infections model developed by Doug Gubler from the University of California. It is an extremely complex and detailed calculation based upon the temperature we read from the desired sensor.
The optimal temperatures for Powdery Mildew Conidial development is between 21°C and 32°C. The greater the number of hours during the day that the temperature is within this range, the higher the risk for Powdery Mildew.
Risk increases: With every day with equal or more than 6 hours of 21°C <= Temperature < 32°C ==> +20 Points
Risk decreases: With every day when temperature is 32°C or above or when 6 hours of at least 21°C are not reached ==> -10 Points
If the Powdery Mildew risk is less than 20 points the spraying interval can be extended. With 20 to 60 points the normal spraying interval is valid. If the risk is more than 60 points you should shorten the spraying interval.
You can read more about the control of Powdery Mildew using this model here.
Richardson Chill Units (RCU)
Plants need a certain amount of cold weather during the winter in order to mature properly later on. Straight chill units simply count the number of hours below 7°C, but we use the Richardson Chill Units to provide a more accurate model for orchards and vineyards. First we calculate the average temperature for each hour, and then use the table below to accumulate the RCU:
RCU (per hour)
T < 1.5 T < 34.7 +0.0
1.5 ≤ T < 2.5 34.7 ≤ T < 36.5 +0.5
9.2 ≤ T < 12.5 48.6 ≤ T < 54.5 +0.5
12.5 ≤ T < 16.0 54.5 ≤ T < 60.8 +0.0
16.0 ≤ T < 18.0 60.8 ≤ T < 64.4 −0.5
T ≥ 18.0 T ≥ 64.4 −1.0
Soil Moisture Measurement using the Topp Equation
In June of 1980, G. Clarke Topp and his team members, J.L Davis and P. Annan, published a watershed paper which included what would come to be known as the Topp equation. The equation is so commonly used that some people don't even know they're using it. The Topp Equation makes it possible for us to measure an electrical property of the soil (the dielectric permittivity) and correlate that electrical property with the water content in the soil. The beauty of the equation is that it is pretty accurate in most typical soils, saving us the job of doing custom calibrations.
T (m3/m3) = 4.3 X 10-6 * e3 - 5.5 X 10-4 * e2 + 2.92 X 10-2 * e -5.3 X 10-2
Topp and his team showed that the volumetric water content of soil can be determined from the apparent dielectric constant of the soils, independent of soil type, soil temperature, and soluble salt content.
True Time Domain probes like the Acclima measure dielectric permittivity and report that value as well as calculating and reporting the Volumetric Water Content (VWC) using the Topp equation.

Required Sensors: Soil Moisture Sensor
Sunshine Hours
Sunshine hours or sunshine duration is a climatological indicator, measuring the duration of sunshine in a given period, usually over a day or a year for a given location on Earth. The number of sunshine hours achieved over a period can be considered as an indicator for the cloudiness of a location.
Sunshine hours are defined as the total number of hours in which the direct solar irradiance exceeds a threshold of 120 Watts/m²
The formula that we use to determine the sunshine hours for a given location was developed by Campbell Scientific.
Required Sensors: Solar Radiation Sensor
We offer a localised forecast provided by IBM - The Weather Company for any Harvest system. The forecast is specific to your location as a 4 km square section in the IBM grid - each square having it's own forecast. The forecast can be displayed on the Harvest Data Portal or Web App and we offer a 1-month free trial of this service.
Wet bulb is a calculation that refers to the lowest temperature on the vine that will be experienced by the evaporation of water alone.
To calculate the Wet Bulb temperature, the unit needs to have a humidity and temperature sensor attached.
Using the air temperature and the dew point (calculated with humidity and air temperature), the Wet Bulb temperature is able to be calculated.
The application of the Wet Bulb temperature is primarily in regards to frost protection. It is used to give an indication of when to start/stop misters or over-vine sprinklers to release latent heat and increase air temperature.
Wind chill is the lowering of the body temperature due to the passing flow of lower temperature air. This is because the wind strips away the thin layer of warm air above your skin. The stronger the wind, the more heat lost from your body, and the colder it will feel. When the winds are light, it will feel closer to the actual air temperature.
Wind Chill Temperature is only defined for temperatures at or below 10°C and wind speeds above 4.8 kph.
Wind Chill (°F) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V0.16) + 0.4275T(V0.16)
Where T= Air Temperature (°F) and V= Wind Speed (mph)
We can then display this data in either °F or °C with our built in converters
Required Sensors: Temperature Sensor, Wind Speed/Direction Sensor

BASIS Independent Schools—the network of private schools—is expanding BASIS Independent Manhattan to include an Upper School campus in Chelsea. Its growing High School Program will be located in this new location. BASIS Independent Brooklyn will expand to a Lower School Campus at the City Point complex in Downtown Brooklyn. Both new campuses are slated to open fall 2021, and applications for 2021-2022 school year just launched.
BASIS Independent Manhattan will serve students PreK through high school on both the campuses. The original BASIS Independent Manhattan at 795 Columbus Avenue will focus on students in PreK to fifth grade. The Upper School campus, at 556 West 22nd Street, will accommodate sixth grade-twelfth grade.
"Our expansion is evidence of the demand for our BASIS Curriculum," says Mark Allen, head of school for BASIS Independent Manhattan. "Our program blends rigorous standards and foundational disciplinary study with ingenuity, creativity, and inclusiveness to create a world-class educational model. We know families have many choices among the long-standing and most reputable private schools in the country in New York City. The demand for our program is humbling, and we are committed to making it available to students and families."
BASIS Independent Brooklyn's new Lower School allows for more students to benefit from the BASIS curriculum. The new campus will serve students in PreK through 2nd grade while the original campus in Red Hook will focus on third through twelfth grade.
"For the past three years we worked to find the right real estate to realize our vision for a nearby campus for our youngest students," said Shari D. Cameron, the head of school for the new Lower School campus. "Starting in fall 2021, we are excited to bring our well-rounded, globally-benchmarked program to City Point in Downtown Brooklyn."
Cameron spent the last five years as a director at BASIS Independent Brooklyn, leading teams across academic programs, admissions, and student affairs.

The competition was new Canada manager Bev Priestman's first opportunity to get a squad together since taking over last year. She had previously seen her team lose 1-0 to USA and beat Argentina 1-0 at the Orlando-based tournament.
"We had a great chance to assess the group and some players really stepped up across the three matches," said Priestman, following the match. "It's now about getting that chemistry right and putting the ball in the back of the net. "
Canada were without some notable regular starters at the SheBelieves Cup. Star striker Christine Sinclair and midfielder Diana Matheson missed the tournament due to injury. And defenders Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence and forward Jordyn Huitema, who all play for top clubs in France, were not released by their clubs who chose to avoid pandemic-related quarantine restrictions.
As a result, Priestman was given an opportunity by necessity to test the depth of her squad ahead of this summer's Tokyo Olympics. While Canada had some good moments at the SheBelieves Cup, the inconsistent performances, the lack of a cutting edge and the overall results reflected the key player absences.
"It will be important in April to have the whole squad available so that we can work on that chemistry leading into the Olympic Games," said Priestman.
Canada next face England in a friendly April 13.

Det Norske Veritas (DNV) – norweskie towarzystwo klasyfikacyjne z siedzibą centrali w Oslo, powstałe w 1864 roku.

Od 1865 roku DNV corocznie wydaje księgę rejestru statków obejmującą wszystkie statki państw skandynawskich, Finlandii i Islandii. W 1867 roku DNV wydało własne, choć wzorowane na LR i BV, przepisy dot. szkutnictwa norweskiego, a w 1871 roku przepisy dot. statków żelaznych.

Det Norske Veritas jako pierwsze towarzystwo w świecie wydało regulacje dla dużych tankowców, zastąpiło stosowanie tabelarycznych przepisów klasyfikacyjnych obliczaniem wytrzymałości oraz wprowadziło komputery do obliczania wytrzymałości.

DNV prowadzi także certyfikację jakościową, np. ISO 9001, oraz jest członkiem IACS.

Główny norweski podmiot DNV jest fundacją prowadzącą działalność gospodarczą, zaś cały wypracowany zysk przeznacza na cele statutowe, m.in. badania i rozwój. W Polsce działalność DNV jest prowadzona w formie spółki z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością.

Od roku stycznia 2017 Det Norske Veritas Poland Sp. z o.o. zmieniła nazwę na DNV GL Poland Sp. z o.o. w wyniku połączenia z Germanischer Lloyd.
