Beyond Meat supplier invested in a Chinese plant-based meat startup – Hey Maet
September 08 17:31 2020
According to 36Kr, Hey Maet, the new force in plant-based meat in China, has recently announced its strategic cooperation with Shuangta Food [SHE:002481], and investment from Shenzhen Tiantu Capital and Silicon Valley investor Wei Guo. Hey Maet aspires to become the top brand of plant-based meat in China, providing consumers with the most delectable plant-based meat products such as hamburger patties, Chinese and Western sausages, minced pork, minced beef, beef cubes, and chicken nuggets, to set the new trend of plant-based diet in China.
Hey Maet was founded in 2020 in the wake of the pandemic. It is named as Maet instead of Meat as an effort to redefine a piece of meat, and change consumers' perception of meat products.
The team boasts a strong arsenal of technologies and years of experience in products R&D. Professor David Drubin from UC Berkeley, who is also a fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences, has come on board together with other plant-based meat experts from the University of Wisconsin, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Helsinki in Finland to provide technical support. The core members of the team come from companies such as Kellogg's, Totole, Shuhai, Baixiang Food, LVMH and New Hope Group. The founder, a vegetarian for 10 years, has been on a quest to create plant-based meat products that are both delicious and nutritious, and had gone as far as Israel to visit cell meat, 3D printed meat and seaweed protein meat companies to better understand the alternative protein market.
The funds obtained from this round of investment are mainly for technology R&D, laboratory construction, channel development and brand promotion. For product promotion that ensues, offline catering businesses will be the major target. Hey Maet will bring together its R&D and production of Shuangta Food, make local adaption to the production process and ingredients, provide customized products for businesses, and through which offer unique delicacies made of plant-based meat acceptable to Chinese consumers. Hey Maet products are expected to be on the menu of thousands of restaurants in China by the end of the year. And the team is planning to establish a Shanghai R&D laboratory.
Among the investors, Shuangta Food is a leading producer of raw materials for plant-based food in China, including plant protein, starch, dietary fiber, edible fungi, and pea protein, of which Shuangta is the largest producer worldwide. Shuangta Food has great faith in the prospects of plant-based food market in China as its development in the field of alternative protein has been going on for a long time. In February 2020, Shuangta Food signed a sales contract with Beyond Meat, a leading US alternative protein brand, to supply pea protein. In addition, Shuangta Food has been involved in the drafting of group standards for Plant-based Food Products, working together with experts such as academician Lianzhou Jiang from International Academy of Food Science and Technology, Dr. Shuntang Guo, deputy dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, as well as representatives from Roquette, Nestle, Unilever, Cargill and other well-known international and Chinese companies, to strictly define the standards, scope of relevant indicators, scope of application, monitoring indicators and packaging methods.
Tiantu Capital, founded in 2002, has been focusing on consumer goods over the past 18 years of investment. The company concentrates on the three major fields of innovative consumption, new retail and consumer finance in its investment and has create a kingdom over the years, in which many are star enterprises in different fields of consumer goods such as Zhouheiya, Xiaohongshu, Pagoda, Baosf Pastry, Nayuki Tea & Bakery, Jiangxiaobai, Modern China Tea Shop and Saturnbird.
UpHonest Capital was established in 2015 by Wei Guo, an active investor in Silicon Valley, who has been making investment in quality start-ups in Silicon Valley and China from a global perspective. The company has made investments in over 350 start-ups since its establishment, with follow-up financing exceeding US $5 billion for the invested projects in multiple fields of enterprise services, biomedicine, financial technology, consumer life, entertainment media, education, artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology. The founder Wei Guo was recognized as "40 under 40" by Fortune and was once dubbed the "China Whisper" by mainstream US media. Besides, in 2017, he was also the only Chinese recognized under both the Venture Capital and Big Money Startups categories of the Forbes "30 Under 30". UpHonest Capital invested in three American plant-based products start-ups, Clara food, Rebellyous and Nuggs with the latest round of financing of US $16.8 million, US $11 million and US $4.1 million respectively. And Hey Maet is the first investment UpHonest made to Chinese plant-based meat companies and made with strong trust and faith in the Hey Maet team.
The alternative protein market is booming
The concept of "alternative protein" has been overshadowing everything else in the field of food science and technology since 2019, with plant-based meat becoming first of its kind to be commercialized. Compared with cultured meat, plant-based meat is more competitive with its low cost, accessible ingredients and diverse varieties. In fact, vegetable protein-based meat dates back to ancient times in Chinese food culture. However, unlike traditional vegetarian meat, plant-based meat, upon improvement and optimization with latest science and technology, has been developed beyond traditional bean products in terms of nutrition, texture and flavor, thus making the development of diversified products possible.
In the United States, fast food giants such as McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks have opened their arms to plant-based meat products. According to the report of Plant Based Foods Association, plant-based meat has registered a high growth rate of 18% in 2019 in the US, and the market value has grown to 939 million US dollars in just a few years, taking up 2% of the retail sales of packaged meat in the United States. Just recently, Very Good Food Company was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: VERY) on June 18, becoming the second plant-based food company to go public after the successful IPO of Beyond Meat last year. Its investor Eat Beyond Global Holdings announces that its share price has risen by 790%.
In China, the plant-based meat industry is at its fledging stage with start-ups like Hey Maet keeping springing up. Food giants such as Shuanghui Group, Jinzi Ham and Shuangta Food have also started their own line of plant-based meat. However, most of the plant-based meat products in China are pre-packaged and mainly sold online at the moment, making it difficult for consumers to try them personally in restaurants. This is what distinguishes Hey Maet from other plant-based meat brands as it has been committed to developing all offline channels for possible promotion of plant-based meat and has approached several catering brands for potential cooperation in 2020. And now, with investment from Shuangta Food, Hey Maet is better positioned to make new progress in expanding channels in China.
The real power of the new force of alternative protein
Plant-based meat products development entails synthetic biology, nutrition and other disciplines as protein characteristics and flavor composition are to be analyzed, and many products tastes come from various additives. Hey Maet wants to make local adaption to the production process and ingredients of plant-based meat, and create very "Chinese" dishes that suit the taste of Chinese people by combining the latest technologies in food science and synthetic biology provided by its science team with the rich experience of its Chinese R&D team in Chinese food development.
Not long ago, Hey Maet, upon completion of improvement to its first product, launched a zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) product with plant-based meat stuffing together with the well-known snack brand Be & Cheery. The product was sold online with good results. Later, based on consumer feedback on the first product, the R&D team developed the new and upgraded second-generation of plant-based meat products, including hot pot beef balls, pork slices and plant-based dumpling stuffing. On top of the good taste and precise seasoning of the first-generation products, more natural plant materials are added to the second-generation products, with more complex plant protein sources used to make up for the weakness of plant proteins. Meanwhile, a further step has been taken toward the vision of "Clean Label".
"Plant-based meat industry is socially significant and holds great market promise. At the recent Midi Festival, we had a booth to show plant-based meat products to those rebellious rock fans. We will continue to engage with pet lovers in the future to touch them through emotional bonds and shared passion." said ChiChi(the founder of Hey Maet). Hey Maet's vision for the long run is to become the No.1 brand of plant-based meat in China, to have an impact in China, the largest meat consumer in the world, on its people's choice of meat products.

Beavers prevail in OT
Chris Rambo
Sports Writer
crambo@mojonews.com
CALCUTTA–After having his first extra point blocked, all Chase Flati wanted was another chance.
With Friday's game against Shenandoah tied at 12 in overtime, the sophomore kicker strode onto the field and played the role of hero, drilling the game winning extra point past onrushing defenders to give the Beavers an exciting 13-12 victory.
"It's an amazing feeling right now, it's the best thing ever. I can't really describe it," Flati said.
The Beavers (2-1) overcame several penalties and, at times, sloppy offensive play to gain a much needed victory after last week's lopsided loss to West Branch. The Zeps fall to 1-2.
Flati got his chance to provide the winning point after sophomore quarterback Tanner Johnston dashed into the end zone from 11 yards out to tie the game in the first overtime session.
He had a chance to put the Beavers ahead in regulation after Garrett Givens tied the game at 6 in the third quarter on a 5-yard run, but the kick was blocked, leaving the game tied until overtime.
The Zeps got the ball first in overtime and found the end zone when running back Ethan Wiley powered through the teeth of the Beaver Local defense for a 3-yard score. The Zeps tried to go for two, but the run failed, leaving the Beavers set up with a chance to win.
"I was ready for another chance," Flati said. "I was hoping we could have got one earlier, but I'll take it."
Once the Beavers got the ball back, it took just three plays for Johnston to find the end zone. Flati faced heavy pressure on the extra point, but got the kick off just in time and watched his line drive sail through the uprights as he was hit by a defender.
"At first I thought it was going to get blocked, but (Ethan) Lewis had a good hold and it went in," Flati said.
Beaver Local head coach Mike McKenzie said there was never any doubt the Beavers were going to try the extra point rather than go for two.
"We were going for one all the way there," McKenzie said. "We had faith in Chase to come through and he came up big for us."
After being held to just one first down in the first half, the Beavers appeared to find something with their ground game after the break.
Givens was the leading rusher for the night with 131 yards on 25 carries, with 97 of those in the second half.
"Garrett was a man in the second half," McKenzie said. "He was determined to win that game. Even when he wasn't running, he had some big blocks."
Johnston–who had been alternating quarterback duties with Ethan Lewis–played most of the second half and finished with 52 rushing yards on 11 carries.
"We've been rotating the two quarterbacks, but Tanner kind of had the hot hand running the ball tonight," McKenzie said. "We put the game in his and Garrett's hands in the second half and they came through."
Despite the offense struggling mightily at times to move the ball, the Beaver defense rose to the occasion time and again. The Zeps marched inside the Beaver 25 twice in the first half, only to turn the ball over on downs each time.
Shenandoah running back Kendal Sherman led the Zeps with 127 yards on 15 carries, but was held to just 41 yards in the second half. The Beavers were largely able to corral athletic, strong-armed quarterback Boone Jones, holding the senior to 5-for-20 passing for 65 yards and 59 rushing yards.
The Zeps first-half touchdown came when Jones scrambled 17 yards to the Zeps 45 before tossing a lateral to Sherman for a 55-yard score.
"When we weren't moving the ball in the first half, our defense hung tough and kept us in the game," McKenzie said. "That quarterback is a heck of a player and they have four four-year starters who are all-state players. But we hung with it."
The Beavers will now focus their attention to next week's trip down the road to rival East Liverpool.
"Tonight can be a confidence-builder for us," McKenzie said. "We faced down a lot of adversity. You're always a little bit more excited heading into a game like that off of a win. Hopefully we can capitalize on the momentum and get better."
Game motes
¯ There was some confusion at the end of the game. The Beavers had the ball at the Shenandoah 19 with 2 seconds left. McKenzie thought the Beavers had one timeout left and tried to call one for a final play, but was told by the officials he had run out of timeouts. The clock to ticked away before the Beavers could get a play off. The scoreboard showed the Beavers having one timeout left.
"I'll have to go back and look, but I thought we had one left," McKenzie said. "We were trying to call a timeout, but they said we were all out."
¯ The Beavers were stopped short on a 4th-and-1 from the Shenandoah 5 with 3:31 left in regulation.
"In that moment, I didn't know if it was fair to ask a sophomore, first-year football player to try and win the game right there," McKenzie said. "We figured even if we didn't make it, we would leave them pinned back."
¯Shenandoah head coach Jesse Wells was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starting defensive lineman at Mount Union from 2002-05. He was a part of National Championship teams in 2002 and 2005. Wells also served for five years as a defensive line coach at Mount Union.
¯ This is the second straight year the Zeps have ventured into Columbiana County. They beat Southern 28-0 last season.
¯ There were 15 combined penalties and seven combined first downs in the first half.
¯ The Zeps trip to Beaver Local took two hours and six minutes.
¯ Shenandoah is named for the USS Shenandoah, a U.S. Navy rigid airship that crashed in Noble County on Sept. 2, 1925.

Report: Al Horford No Longer Discussing 3-year Deal With the Celtics, Expected to Sign Elsewhere

NBC Sports - Boston
Report: Al Horford no longer discussing three-year deal with the Celtics, expected to sign elsewhere
When Al Horford declined his $30.1 million contract Tuesday, all signs were pointing to him agreeing to a three-year contract to stay in Boston.
Now, it seems Horford will take his talents elsewhere once free agency begins on June 30.
Major change in the Al Horford situation:
Per source close to Horford, his side is no longer discussing a new 3-year deal to stay with the Celtics. He is expected to sign a 4-year free agent contract elsewhere...
Story to come.
— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) June 18, 2019
It is unknown whether the uncertainty surrounding Kyrie Irving's future with the Celtics or Danny Ainge losing out on Anthony Davis has any impact in Horford's decision, but this would be another crushing blow for Boston.
More to come...

Diego de Landa (Cifuentes, 12 november 1524 – Mérida, 1579) was een controversieel Spaans missionaris, inquisiteur en Mayanist. Van 1572 tot aan zijn dood was hij bisschop van Yucatán. Door De Landa's werk is zowel veel informatie over de Maya's bewaard gebleven als verloren gegaan.

Levensloop
Op zijn zeventiende trad hij toe tot een franciscaner klooster, en ging naar de Nieuwe Wereld teneinde de indianen aldaar te bekeren. Hij leerde het Yucateeks Maya, reisde door Yucatán, bekeerde Maya's en vernielde afgodsbeelden.

In 1562 hoorde hij van bekeerde Maya's die nog steeds aan "afgodenverering" deden. Ze hadden echter al wel enige kenmerken van het christendom overgenomen, zodat ze mensen offerden door middel van kruisiging. De Landa beval een Inquisitie in Maní. Bij het hieropvolgende autodafe verbrandde hij 27 codices (volgens sommigen zelfs 99 keer zoveel) en 5000 afgodsbeelden. Slechts drie codices hebben dit overleefd en zijn bewaard gebleven. Bovendien martelde hij 4500 Maya's, waarvan 200 het niet overleefden. De Landa schreef later over zijn vernietiging van de codices:
"We vonden een groot aantal boeken met deze karakters, en aangezien ze niets bevatten dat niet als bijgeloof en leugens van de duivel gezien dient te worden, verbrandden we ze allemaal, wat hun [de Maya's] buitengewoon bedroefde, en wat hun veel kwelling veroorzaakte."

De Landa's inquisitie kende een wreedheid die zelfs tijdgenoten als buitensporig beschouwden. Op last van bisschop Francisco de Torral van Yucatán werd hij teruggeroepen naar Spanje en voor de Raad van de Indiën gedaagd. Terug in Spanje schreef hij het Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán (Relaas van de dingen van Yucatán), waarin hij de taal, religie, cultuur en het schrift van de Maya's beschrijft.

As New England winters warm, moose are getting overwhelmed by winter ticks. Some scientists say hunting could help.
Vermont Public | By Abagael Giles

Moose are falling victim to winter ticks, whose population is booming because of climate change. The state says some very limited hunting of the big animals in the places where they are most densely populated might help the species' long-term chances of success.
On a cold, sunny day in a remote part of Vermont's rugged Northeast Kingdom, Nick Fortin — Vermont Fish and Wildlife's lead moose biologist — holds onto his snowmobile helmet as he gestures to some young trees. The new growth from logging at this spot, in addition to its remote and mountainous setting, makes for prime moose habitat.
"It's sort of a high elevation basin between two mountains," he says. "And it's mostly dominated by spruce and fir."
After a long snowmobile ride on a labyrinth of logging roads, Fortin and his colleagues are here to set up game cameras. The goal is to build a model that will help biologists track the health of New England's moose population in real time.
In recent decades, the relationship between moose and one of their parasites, the winter tick, has changed. It's an old relationship — winter ticks have been found on moose in Vermont dating back to at least the 1980s.
But in Vermont and elsewhere in northern New England, shorter winters with less snow mean the ticks now pose a bigger threat to moose than they did in the past.

Wildlife managers in Vermont and Maine hope hunting more moose might help.
"This year is a perfect example," Fortin says. "We're out here at the end of February and there's maybe a foot of snow, and we're at 2,500 feet of elevation. I mean, we should have 4 to 5 feet of snow on the ground right now, and there's a little over a foot."
Abagael Giles
A member of Vermont Fish and Wildlife's moose crew looks at young vegetation in a remote, high basin in East Haven. Logging at this spot in recent decades created a lower, younger forest, with ample food for moose within reach of their heads.
The problem is swarms of winter tick nymphs seek out a host just before first snow.
"We often call them tick bombs," Fortin said.
They can't survive long in the snow without a host. When snow comes late, they have more time to find one.
Unlike, for example, black legged ticks, which seek out multiple hosts over the course of their life cycle, winter ticks stay with a single host through the winter, feeding multiple times.
Unlike white-tailed deer, moose are poor groomers. As a result, a single animal can carry as many as 90,000 ticks through the season.
In the spring, the ticks drop off to reproduce. Their odds of survival go up if they land on bare ground rather than on snow, and they don't travel far to reproduce. So the more moose in an area, the more ticks.

Since moose like to eat the new growth in areas with recent logging like this part of the Northeast Kingdom, it means they often have denser than normal moose populations.
"And yeah, we got used to that, but it's not probably something that's sustainable in the face of winter ticks and climate change," Fortin says.
Right now, only about half of moose calves survive their first winter in this basin because they get overwhelmed by ticks. Biologists say reducing the density of moose here by about half would help.
But Fortin says: "That's a tough sell to a lot of people."
"Is there any way to prove to Vermonters in three years, four years, five years that the moose herd is now healthier, and that's due to the moose hunt?"
Brenna Galdenzi, Protect Our Wildlife
Brenna Galdenzi is with the advocacy group Protect Our Wildlife, Vermont. She's concerned about Vermont's moose population, and the idea of hunting them, given the other threats to their success here.
"How will we know that this experiment worked?" she asked. "Is there any way to prove to Vermonters in three years, four years, five years that the moose herd is now healthier, and that's due to the moose hunt?"

Vermont Fish and Wildlife manages the state's wildlife for both hunting and conservation.
Galdenzi says the agency has a bias towards hunters over other recreation groups. She worries that's playing a role in their plans for the moose.
More than 75% of the funding for the moose monitoring research came from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey, but a trophy hunting group — Safari Club International — donated to an earlier part of the study.
One state away, Maine is in the second year of a similar experiment.
"I think we fully recognize as managers and biologists that the idea, the concept of hunting moose to improve the health and circumstances is a completely counterintuitive thing," said Lee Kantar, Maine's moose biologist.
Maine now sees about two weeks less winter than it did a century ago, and Kantar says those two weeks are the difference between life and death for calves.
"What we're living with is the winter-tick-moose-climate dynamic," he said. "And this is our way of trying to do something now, and not ponder it for another five years."
Wildlife specialist Tony Smith sets up a game camera on a tree in Victory. Across from the camera, the crew set up a snow stake with a turkey feather at the top, doused in skunk scent. The goal is to attract curious moose, so wildlife biologists can count them, see their physical health and what types of habitat they favor within this block of the Northeast Kingdom. The cameras will generate hundreds of thousands of images, and artificial intelligence will help the scientists sift through them to identify moose.
Moose are an iconic species for northern New England states — especially Maine. But there's a longer history here too.
Chuck Loring is director of natural resources for the Penobscot Nation. Tribal land sits adjacent to some of the zones where Maine plans to ramp up moose permits this season.
In Vermont, members of state recognized Abenaki tribes can apply for free hunting and fishing licenses, but they have to compete with people who are not Indigenous in the annual lottery for moose permits.
In contrast, each Penobscot household has the right to hunt one moose every year for subsistence. It's been that way for more than 12,000 years, or as Chuck Loring says, "since 'time immemorial.'"
One moose can feed a family for a year — grandparents, kids, adults and even neighbors.

He says the changing climate and its impact on moose, as well as other species, is a big concern.
"It's a big problem that we're looking at right now," he said. "As far as worrying about what the climate change that's happening right before our eyes… is going to do to the composition of our forests and what it could do to potentially shift species that are occupying this soil right now."
Loring says there are things outside the nation's boundaries that will play a role in the fate of moose, and the world without them is not something he likes to dwell on.
Someday soon, there might be a way to manage the ticks themselves — rather than the moose.
Vermont Fish and Wildlife estimates, based on past surveys, that the density of moose in this part of the Northeast Kingdom is about two animals per square mile. They say a density of one animal per square mile would be better for managing winter ticks.
Cheryl Frank Sullivan is an entomologist at the University of Vermont. She's been looking into a different approach: kill the ticks using pesticides made of fungi found naturally in New England soils.
Spoiler: more research is needed.
But in the meantime, Frank Sullivan says reducing the density of moose hosts on the landscape — moose social distancing, if you will — may just be the best option available.
More from VPR: Vermont just adopted a Climate Action Plan. Here's how it says we should reduce emissions.
"It's weather conditions, host density and the overlap of that seasonal habitat use by moose that are really the main factors that drive the winter tick abundance on the landscape and subsequently the epizootic risk for moose," Frank Sullivan said.
After several years with very little or no hunting, Vermont issued 100 moose permits last year. Vermont Fish and Wildlife is recommending the same this year, with all of the permits being for Essex County, where the moose are most dense.
The state is collecting public feedback on that proposal through May 14.

USA: Unprecedented investment in the Northeast Corridor, expanded service in the Midwest
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced on 9 May $2 billion in high-speed rail awards providing an unprecedented investment to speed up trains in the Northeast Corridor, expand service in the Midwest and provide new, state-of-the-art locomotives and rail cars as part of the Administration's plan to transform travel in America.
Twenty-four states, the District of Columbia and Amtrak submitted nearly 100 applications, competing to be part of an historic investment that will create tens of thousands of jobs, improve mobility and stimulate American manufacturing.
"Earlier this year, President Obama and I made a commitment to improve and expand America's transportation system, including the development of a modern, national high-speed rail network," said Vice President Biden. "And today, we're announcing investments that will continue our progress toward making this vision a reality. These projects will put thousands of Americans to work, save hundreds of thousands of hours for American travelers every year, and boost U.S. manufacturing by investing hundreds of millions of dollars in next-generation, American-made locomotives and railcars."
"President Obama and Vice President Biden's vision for a national rail system will help ensure America is equipped to win the future with the fastest, safest and most efficient transportation network in the world," said Secretary LaHood.

TN Mom Allowed to Relocate with Child Over Father's Objection
In Home, Parental Relocation Granted, Relocation
Tennessee law case summary on parental relocation in Tennessee divorce and family law from the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
Tennessee Relocation Law
Christa Goddard v Thomas Goddard – Tennessee Relocation Law
In the divorce case of Thomas Goddard, father and Christa Goddard, mother, the trial court granted the mother the ability to move to Florida with the parties' minor child. The father appealed this decision. The parties divorced in April of 2009 after a 12 year marriage. The divorce decree provided a temporary parenting plan that provided that both parties that the mother would be seeking permission to move at a later date. There was no judgment on whether this would be allowed at the time.
In August of 2009, the court approved a permanent parenting plan that mirrored the temporary plan. It did not designate the primary residential parent but noted the mother was responsible for the day-to-day care of the child except when the father had the child, which was every other weekend from 7 am Friday through 6 pm Sunday, as well as other stipulations.
In May of 2010, the mother filed a petition to amend the parenting plan to allow her to move to Florida. In June of 2010, she filed a formal motion to relocate. She cited job opportunities and the proximity of her family to provide help. The father opposed the decision. The mother claimed she was seeking to better her financial situation after having to pay thousands of dollars in back taxes from a tax fraud situation caused by the husband and the husband's previous business. As such, she was at risk of losing the marital home to foreclosure.
The trial court stated that the mother was entitled to relocate with the child due to the mother's financial condition, family support, desire to relocate and employment situation and that the move did not pose a threat of specific harm to the child.
The father filed an appeal. The father stated that he does spend substantially equal intervals of time with his child noting that he sees his daughter 11 out of every 14 days, while not for the same number of hours. The appeals court noted that this does not equal the parenting time provided by the mother. It rejected the father's argument as such.
The appeals court then considered if the relocation was for reasonable purposes. The mother noted numerous facilities where she had a viable job prospect due to multiple interviews. She stated all four provided her with better pay with a flexible schedule. The mother also had taken into consideration transportation, a home and planned to enroll the child into a private, church-based elementary school. The father stated that the financial condition and employment situation as not a reasonable purpose necessary to allow her to relocate the child. The appeals court ruled that there was no error by the lower court in allowing this move for these reasons.
The father also believed that the child moving from him would cause specific and serious harm. The father believed it was in the best interest of the child for the father to serve as the primary residential parent rather than allowing her to relocate to Florida. The appeals court again said that it could not find any specific claim of harm to warrant this.
The appeals court affirmed all decisions of the lower court to allow the relocation.

Catherine Gaa, USA: Two Weeks on the Camino del Norte, August - Guide to the Camino.
Cat (Catherine)Gaa left the skyscrapers of Chicago for the olive groves of Spain, where she's lived, worked and fumbled her way through Castillian Spanish for the past six years. When not running a language academy, she blogs at Sunshine and Siestas (sunshineandsiestas.com) about life in Seville for a clueless guiri. The Camino del Norte was her first Camino.
Someone was moving outside, making a lot of noise for being 6:30 a.m. in a quiet Spanish town. The last few stragglers of a town fiesta were following a few lone pilgrims as they went out of town, following the faded yellow arrows on the sidewalks, waymarkers that witness where the popular Camino Francés meets the Camino del Norte.
When we got to Arzúa, just 41 kilometers from the finish line, we were met with a long line at the pilgrims' inn. Having been able to leisurely roll into the albergues at lunchtime during our previous 280 kilometers and find a bed, I experienced pilgrim culture shock. The roads were choked with turigrinos – pilgrims who used tour groups to send their packs along and stay in private albergues.
Gone were the quiet moments on the Camino, where Hayley and I would encounter other pilgrims only at lone bars in sleepy Asturian towns, where beaches where we'd stop for water breaks were practically virgin, where we'd hear just the sound of our walking sticks clapping against the N-634 highway or thrashing through the overgrown vegetation.
When Hayley and I chose to do the Camino del Norte, the route traversed when the Moors occupied Spain for nearly eight centuries, we didn't expect to be alone. After all, we were traveling in August, the month where most Europeans are on holidays, and the Camino's popularity – especially amongst Anglos – has grown considerably in the past few years.
We came to love the long stretches where the road, our bodies and one another were the only priorities. Amenities were few and far between, particularly when it came to finding a bar for a second breakfast. There was a lot of highway walking and the terrain was difficult, but our bodies coped, relishing in naps after a hearty lunch and warm shower. But in having one albergue every 35 or 40 kilometers, the other pilgrims became our close friends, our traveling doctors and our cheerleaders.
As we met a few days later in Arzúa, we all gushed at how odd it had been to share the road with pilgrims whose faces we didn't recognize. We all missed our nights in the town bar, drinking beer and laughing.
On August 11th, we trudged to the Obradoiro, bodies finally accustomed to trekking, our bags no longer weighing us down. We practically skipped into town, lured by the looming spires and the recognition the Compostela would bring. In Santiago's small city center, we'd run into every single person we'd met along The Way – the Austrian speed racers, the five Spanish friends whose feet were replete with blisters after the first day, the French man we'd communicate with through gestures.
They say all roads lead to Rome, but some seem to lead to Santiago, too.

Q: From 3 coordinate points find area of a triangle, returning 0 So my program here is suppose to take 3 values and store it in the variables Ax,Ay etc... but for some reason it keeps returning 0.00 for the area and from what I see all of this code should return a proper area, it applies the distance formula and heron's formula for area
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void) {
    float Ax,Ay,Bx,By,Cx,Cy,A,B,C,side,area;
    printf("hello inPut x,y coords");
    printf("input 3 numbers for your x coordinates");
    scanf("%f%f%f",&Ax,&Bx,&Cx );
    printf("input 3 numbers for your y coordinates");
    scanf("%f%f%f",&Ay,&By,&Cy);

    A=sqrt(((Bx-Ax)*(Bx-Ax))+((By-Ay)*(By-Ay)));
    B=sqrt(((Cx-Bx)*(Cx-Bx))+((Cy-By)*(Cy-By)));
    C=sqrt(((Ax-Cx)*(Ax-Cx))+((Ay-Cy)*(Ay-Cy)));

    side=((A+B+C)/2);

    area=sqrt(side*(side-A)*(side-B)*(side-C));
    printf("n AREA OF TRIANGLE IS %f",area);

}

The Pseudo-Code of what it's suppose to do is this:
Take 3 numbers like
5,7,8
These first three numbers are now stored in Ax,Bx,Cx (Ax=5,Bx=7,Cx=8)
Take 3 more numberss for the y coordinate (1,2,3)
Store numbers in Ay By Cy (Ay =1, By=2, Cy=3)

take these values and calculate the distance between them by using this formula:

sqrt((Bx-Ax)^2+(By-Ay)^2)
repeat this 2 more time for the other numbers

now it calculates the perimeter of the triangle, and halves it , then inputs it into the heron formula to get the area.

Ideally these values should give an area > 0.

A: Your code works fine. I try it with this tripples 1.2 2.8 7.8  and  1.3 2.3 0.1 and this is ok. Perhaps do you use "," instead of "." for decimal separation ...

Following wildfires, New Mexico city now faces drinking water shortage
LAS VEGAS, N.M. — In the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, buzzing chainsaws interrupt the serenity. Crews are hustling to remove charred trees and other debris that have been washing down the mountainsides in the wake of the largest wildfire in New Mexico's recorded history, choking rivers and streams.
Heavy equipment operators are moving boulders dislodged by the daily torrential summer rains that have followed the flames.
Workers have dug trenches and built barriers to help keep the flood of muddy, ash-laden runoff from causing more damage so it won't further contaminate the drinking water supply for the community of more than 10,000 that sits at the edge of the forest.
The clock is ticking for Las Vegas, a college town and economic hub for ranchers and farmers who have called this rural expanse of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range home for generations.
It has less than 30 days of drinking water left.
Events have been canceled in an effort to discourage more people from coming to town. Residents are showering with buckets in hopes of salvaging extra water for other uses. Restaurants are worried they may have to cut back on serving their signature red and green chile dishes. The three universities that call Las Vegas home are coming up with conservation plans as the school year kicks off.
"It is disheartening to our families and our children to not know that they may not have water in a month from now," said Leo Maestas, the city manager.
It was just months earlier that thousands of residents from Las Vegas and dozens of surrounding mountain villages were forced to pack up their belongings, load their livestock into trailers and flee as the wildfire raged, fueled by unprecedented hot, dry winds.
They watched from a distance as an area larger than Los Angeles was devoured by a conflagration sparked by the federal government when two planned burns meant to reduce the threat of wildfire went awry due to a combination of human error and outdated modeling that didn't account for extreme weather. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and livelihoods lost.
Amid an undercurrent of heartbreak and anger, residents are feeling the sting yet again as their water supply dwindles as a result and the pressures of climate change show no signs of letting up.
"I mean what else could possibly happen?" asked Las Vegas Mayor Louie Trujillo, not wanting to tempt fate.
Trujillo said the community is no stranger to watering restrictions as drought has long been part of life in northern New Mexico. He and other residents have become experts at using just half the water of the average American, or about 44 gallons.
"So asking the citizens to do even more is quite an imposition. It's very hard," said Trujillo, as he prepared for federal emergency managers to arrive with another truckload of bottled water for distribution to community members.
Utility managers have been unable to tap into their usual source — the Gallinas River — since it has been choked by ash and debris.
Trujillo declared an emergency in late July and New Mexico's governor followed with her own declaration, freeing up funding to help pay for the installation of a temporary treatment system that will allow for water from a nearby lake to be used to supplement supplies.
More fire news:Tree falling on power lines blamed in fatal Ruidoso-area McBride fire
City officials expect that system to be installed next week. It will be capable of treating about 1.5 millions gallons a day, about what the city consumes daily. But it's only a Band-Aid, Trujillo said.
Like other western cities, Las Vegas is in search of alternative sources of water as nearby rivers and reservoirs shrink amid hotter, drier conditions. The wildfire complicates matters.
New Mexico's largest city, for example, was forced to stop pulling water from the Rio Grande this year as it dried up within Albuquerque city limits for the first time in decades. And for the second year in a row, Arizona and Nevada will face cuts in the amount of water they can draw from the Colorado River as the western drought becomes more acute.
Las Vegas is hoping the temporary treatment system will slow down the ticking clock as crews continue work upstream to keep more ash, debris and sediment from clogging the Gallinas River that feeds the city's reservoirs.
Trujillo said a permanent treatment system on the river could cost more than $100 million, far beyond the city's means. There's no timetable for designing or building such a system.
What is heartbreaking for the mayor is that the region is experiencing one of the best monsoon seasons in several years. Had it not been for the fire and the contamination, the city would have been able to capture the storm runoff pulsing through the river and bolster its reservoirs for the future as drought persists.
For Trujillo, his neighbors, the governor and members of Congress, the blame for the current water crisis falls squarely on the federal government.
"We're going to continue to hold them responsible and expect them to pay for all of the improvements that we're going to have to make," the mayor said.
Daniel Patterson, a resource adviser with the U.S. Forest Service, called it an all-hands-on-deck approach as the agency works with local officials to protect the watershed that supplies Las Vegas. He acknowledged the Forest Service's responsibility to restore the watershed as well as people's access to their private property and traditional practices like gathering firewood from the forest.
"Those are all top priorities right now," he said. "But it's a heavy lift and it's a long haul."
President Joe Biden flew over the burn scar during a quick visit in June, promising the federal government would step up. Still, many residents feel abandoned.
Danny Lopez, who owns a ranch just outside of Las Vegas, called the past few months a nightmare. The fire charred nearly one square mile of land where he used to graze his cattle. His fences burned and the roof of his home was singed, damage now worsened by the summer rains.
His alfalfa fields have been compromised by the mud, ash and debris rolling off the surrounding hillsides. And with electricity cut off for months, he and his neighbors lost everything they had stockpiled in their fridges and freezers.
His request for aid from FEMA is tangled in red tape, with federal officials requiring something that simply does not exist for many rural properties — a street address.
"They don't understand the devastation," said Lopez, who has been forced to reduce his herd by half. "They don't know how the people live here and how they get by here."
Charlie Sandoval is the owner of Charlie's Bakery Café in downtown Las Vegas. It has served as a gathering spot for the community and travelers for decades, made famous by its homemade chile recipes, fresh tortillas and cinnamon rolls.
It takes as much as 13 gallons (49 litres) of water to make one big batch of chile. Then there's the water needed for the tortillas and the dough for the pastries.
"Everything that we do just takes water," Sandoval said. "And it just really scares me. What would happen if we run out of water, you know?"
The bakery is using more plastic and paper items to cut down on dishwashing. But supplies are expensive, and the bottom line is taking a hit.

If more restrictions are imposed, Sandoval worries about how long he can keep the bakery open and what that might mean for his employees.
At the end of July, the city implemented Stage 6 restrictions, meaning no more outdoor watering, no refilling of swimming pools, restaurants cannot serve water to customers unless requested, and no new water accounts can be activated.
For City Manager Maestas, it's been a sleepless month. More than once he's jumped into his pickup in the middle of the night and rushed down to check on a diversion point along the Gallinas River. Standing there, he stares down an impossible decision: If the contaminated river rises fast enough post-monsoon, will he direct the flow into town and flood homes? Or will he further pollute the city's back-up drinking water supply?
Fear, sadness and then anxiety set in. He wants to make the right decision.
"No city official or government official should ever be put in that predicament," he said.

It is Veterans' Day Weekend in America. This national holiday was known as Armistice Day from 1926 until 1954, when an Act of Congress changed the name to Veterans' Day. It is now known as Remembrance Day in the British Commonwealth of Nations. In France and Belgium, however, the name of Armistice Day has remained.
I agree with the thought behind that change, which came in the aftermath of World War II. We should remember and honor those who served in all conflicts that imperiled our nation and the free world. Thank you once again to all American veterans, and to your comrades in arms from Britain and Canada, for going into harm's way for the sake of my freedom.
However, perhaps because I am old enough to remember Armistice Day, I think that it is unfortunate that the name of that day, and what it meant, is fading into the background of history. Armistice Day commemorated the cessation of hostilities on the Western front in World War One. It took effect at "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month." The document was signed in the private railway car of French army general Ferdinand Foch in the forest at Compiegne, France.
Armistice Day, to me, is a sobering and necessary reminder that World War I, the "War to End All Wars," was anything but that.
War is hell, as the Union's William Tecumseh Sherman said. The Civil War saw more than its share of carnage – Antietam, Gettysburg and other battles – but World War I was especially brutal and gruesome. The best way to honor our all of our veterans is to learn, and to belatedly apply, the lessons of Armistice Day.
Perhaps we should adopt, or return to, a practice first suggested by Australian writer Edward George Honey. That is, we observe two consecutive minutes of silence at 11:00 a.m. local time on November 11. The first of those minutes is dedicated to the approximately 20 million people who died in World War I. The second is dedicated to the living who remained behind – mainly the widows, children, and families.
That second minute is especially fitting. Why? Because it reminds us, the living, that we have a duty to fashion a better world, so that our children and those who come after us might be spared the horrors of war. We remember those who died but, as Lincoln said at Gettysburg, we highly resolve that these honored dead shall not have died in vain.
And how shall we fashion that better world? How shall we ensure that our veterans' sacrifices have not been in vain? Let us ponder the words of American General Omar Bradley, who learned well the lessons of war.
Bradley graduated West Point in 1915 but did not end up in Europe before the Armistice. He first saw duty on the Mexican border, then commanded a unit that guarded the copper mines in Butte, Montana. But in World War II, he was an especially able commander under Dwight Eisenhower. At one point, he commanded 900,000 soldiers, the largest force ever to serve under a single field general.
Like Sherman, Bradley knew war in all its fury. When he took up arms, he was good at it. He saw war for what it was, as only someone who has been there is able to do.
Here is a link to Bradley's 1948 Armistice Day speech .
I don't think all that much has changed in the 64 years since Armistice Day, 1948. Perhaps Armistice Day, 2012, can be a new beginning. We can highly resolve to heed the words of General Bradley. And after that second minute of silence, we can strive for wisdom to guide that brilliance, for conscience to guide that power – and make sure that hereafter, those we elect to lead our nation are not ethical infants, and will do likewise.

ANC family tries to run black farmers off their land

READ ALL OUR CORONAVIRUS COVERAGE
Lulama Kapa, 66, and his wife Nothandekile, 63, are emerging black farmers. But their success is precarious as they neither own nor have a lease for the land they have been farming for the past 31 years.
In 1989, when the couple were in their early thirties, they started working for a white commercial farmer on portion 5 of Oribi Dale Farm 360 outside Ugie in the Eastern Cape. Several years after apartheid ended, the farmer told the Kapas that portion 5 was being leased from the government, that he was leaving and that the Kapas should consider taking over the farm.
The couple did exactly that. But for the past 10 years, they have been unable to get the government to transfer the lease into their names. Lulama Kapa has kept a file of all the letters he has sent and received from government departments during this time.
A March 2011 letter to Kapa from what is now the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development informs him that a senior project officer from the State Land Unit will handle his application: "This office would like to inform you that this department needs to investigate the ownership, the history of the farm and physically visit the property. You will also be kept informed about the developments regarding your application."
Almost a year later, nothing had happened. When Kapa enquired, he received a letter from the assistant director of utilisation and contracts at the now Department of Public Works and Infrastructure saying, "Your application to lease the abovementioned property is receiving attention. We are conducting needs analysis with our client departments, ie SAPS [South African Police Service], Justice, Correctional Services, etc. Should our client departments not show interest in the property, your application will be forwarded for leasing/disposal."
About eight months after this, Kapa received a letter from the deputy director general of asset investment management at the public works department saying it would "assess the request in the context of its portfolio strategies and user needs. Due to the absence of the disposal policy, the department may only consider concluding a lease and will revert to you accordingly."
But still nothing happened. More than six years later, the government was apparently still assessing Kapa's application because in May 2017, the deputy director of property holdings and disposals at the agriculture department wrote Kapa another letter saying "the department will sort lease agreement after investigations have been finalised as per the meeting".
Flourishing farm
Despite the fact that the Kapas have no formal lease, their farm on the state-owned land is flourishing. They grow mielies and livestock fodder, and own 87 cows and 305 sheep. They have built two small houses on the land and bought a bakkie and two tractors along with a plough, crop sprayer and ploughing tools. The couple is more than willing to lease the land, which would otherwise be lying barren, from the government.

On paper, the Kapas are exactly the type of successful former farm workers turned farmers that the government says it wants to support.
But three years ago, matters took a turn for the worse. Lulama Kapa received a phone call from someone who identified himself only as Mr Nelani from Cape Town. The person said Kapa was squatting on his family's ancestral land and that the Kapas must vacate the farm immediately.
The Nelani family is well known in the Mthatha area, but this is about 80km away from Farm 360. The mayor of the King Sabata Dalindyebo Local Municipality, which encompasses Mthatha and Mqanduli, is Nyaniso Nelani.
A deeds search shows that Zoyisile William Nelani and Virginia Nobantu Nelani own land in the area, but not Farm 360. They bought portion 0 of Farm 373 in 2001. Zoyisile Nelani was an uMkhonto weSizwe struggle icon in the Eastern Cape who was arrested several times in the 1960s and 1970s before serving five years on Robben Island. He was an ANC councillor for a brief period after apartheid ended, before his death in 2014. The government still owns Farm 360, according to the deeds search.
Instruction to vacate
Kapa spent three years fending off calls from Mr Nelani, who would not supply his first name. But then in 2018, Kapa began receiving letters from Mthatha attorney Mpumelelo Notununu instructing him to vacate the land, even though there had been no application for an eviction order.
Expecting help from the government, Kapa's agriculture department case officer told him instead that he could leave the farm or remain in his two small houses but give up the land to Mr Nelani.
"Nelani was farming some other land nearby for some time before making a claim to this farm." Kapa suspects that after Zoyisile Nelani died, one of the Nelani family members took a liking to Kapa's farm after seeing how productive it is and decided to grab it.
Kapa now fears that the politically connected Nelani family has been putting pressure on the government to have him give up the land he has been farming for the past three decades.
In 2019, the agriculture department suddenly told Kapa that Farm 360 had been sold and that the new owners had changed the farm's name to 373. But when the department was shown the deeds search proving that the government still owns Farm 360, and that Nelani owns Farm 373, it changed its story and said the two plots of land had been mixed up and that Kapa was mistakenly farming 373 and not Farm 360.
Provincial department spokesperson Thabile Mehlomakhulu said area surveys show that Kapa has been farming privately owned land for 31 years. But she would not provide New Frame with the surveys. She declined to explain how the agriculture and public works departments had not picked up on the mistake earlier, or say who, if anyone, holds the lease for Farm 360.
The farms are completely different sizes, so it is difficult to understand how the government could have gotten them mixed up for 10 years. Zoyisile Nelani also farmed his land nearby from 2001 to 2014 without once mentioning to Kapa or the government anything about a mix-up.
"We don't understand how we could be on the wrong farm, because government has been coming here all these years. In 2017, they came to put the windmill and said it was for us to have water. They never said this was Nelani's land," said Nothandekile Kapa.
Dangerous situation
In early February, the agriculture department suddenly arrived with surveyors and began surveying the land. Mehlomakhulu would not say why. Meanwhile, the government's unwillingness to grant Kapa a lease when he first applied has led to a dangerous situation as men who say they are from the Nelani family regularly invade Kapa's farm with their livestock.
While New Frame was interviewing Kapa, three men arrived with 30 cows and drove the cattle to drink at Kapa's scarce water source before threatening a local activist and Kapa's young daughter. The men claimed to be members of the Nelani family and said Kapa's farm and "all the farms in the area" belong to Nelani. Kapa called the police and laid charges of trespassing. The men have previously broken down fences that Kapa has erected and four of his livestock have gone missing.
"We are scared. This is really affecting us. I get worried because all these people came and broke our fence to let their cattle in. They opened our own water tank and used our water. I don't even know these men," said Nothandekile Kapa.
"We are supposed to be planting in this season, but we can't because these boys will open the gate and let their cows trample our plants," added Lulama Kapa.
The couple just want to be left alone to farm peacefully. They are good at farming and willing to move if the government offers them the chance to rent a bigger piece of state land on which they can expand their operations. "This farm is small. If there is an option of a bigger, equally fertile farm, I will take it," said Lulama Kapa.
However, he does not believe there is a better farm in the area. He says his department case officer "told me I can go and look for a better farm. But I am too unsettled by the case [the legal letters] to go and look. All the beautiful farms have already been taken."
Case officer Miranda Tengani would not comment and directed questions to the department of rural development and land reform. Multiple attempts to reach the Nelani family through their representative at Mpumelelo Notununu & Associates were unsuccessful. Notununu did not respond to repeated phone calls and emails.
