SPECIAL REPORT: Extreme Heat Puts City in Double Jeopardy
By Bridget Fogarty
Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
This story was originally published by Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service, where you can find other stories reporting on fifteen city neighborhoods in Milwaukee. Visit milwaukeenns.org.
Twenty-five summers after a deadly heat wave hit Milwaukee, the city stands at the intersection of two public health crises: COVID-19 and climate change. Is Milwaukee ready for future extreme heat?

Diane Green is resourceful in the summer. She has to be.
On most hot days, the 54-year-old resident of Milwaukee's Northwest Side wakes up before sunrise, turns on her oven and cooks a day's worth of breakfast, lunch and dinner for herself, her 28-year-old daughter and her two grandchildren.
"I try to get all the oven stuff out of the way" before the heat hits, she said. Even with four plug-in fans whirring around her house, cooking in the daylight would make an already hot summer day unbearable.
Once the sun is shining, she keeps the lights off and her fans on. She might find a shady spot to sit outside, but that is rare. It's cooler for her to stay inside all day if she can.
Summer heat feels different depending on where you live in the city, and Green resides in one of Milwaukee's most vulnerable locations during excessive heat.
The concrete infrastructure on the city's North and South sides traps heat and re-emits it more than natural landscapes. These pockets of heat, better known as urban heat islands, produce a climate of their own on hot days and can make it nearly impossible for residents without quality air conditioning to cool off.
"The heat makes me tired," Green said. And it makes other people she knows agitated or angry.
Especially this summer.

Many of the neighborhoods that are vulnerable to excessive heat are home to African American and Latinx Milwaukeeans who have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus. Fallout from the pandemic has left some residents unemployed and worrying about utility cutoffs or evictions – not to mention wondering when they will get a federal stimulus check.
In any other year, Green would cool off in the air-conditioned Milwaukee Public Library's Center Street branch at 2727 W. Fond du Lac Ave. But libraries — like most other cooling centers in the city — closed indoor operations in March when the coronavirus began to spread in Milwaukee.
And finding a place to stay cool in daytime heat is only half the battle.
"The heat at night is terrible," Green said.
On hot nights, she sets her fan in the window and tries to ignore the mosquitoes that come in and bite her as she falls asleep. "I'll wake up and be sweating — like someone poured water on me."
By and large, the coronavirus has made it even harder for more vulnerable residents to stay cool this summer.

The 1995 heat wave
Though dealing with a pandemic during a hot summer has been new territory for the city, extreme heat is not a new issue for Milwaukee.
Jeffrey Jentzen still remembers standing in his office in July 1995 as an overwhelming number of bodies were brought in. As the medical examiner for Milwaukee County, even he wasn't prepared for the four days that would become one of the deadliest events in Milwaukee's history.
"The heat was so subtle, you didn't see it coming," said Jentzen, who conducted the investigation of at least 91 deaths caused by the heat wave. Research shows many of the deaths could have been prevented.
As daytime temperatures climbed to 103 degrees, and high humidity persisted, it never cooled down at night.
Despite timely warnings by the National Weather Service and local news, officials left residents with little to no information on how or where to cool off.
Now, extreme heat is considered a health emergency — it's the No. 1 weather-related killer in Wisconsin. When the National Weather Service sends out a heat advisory, the Milwaukee Heat Task Force acts on its Excessive Heat Event Coordination Plan.
Made up of almost 40 government agencies and community organizations, the group provides a community-based, coordinated response to alert residents of oncoming heat and to increase access to cooling centers.
But the coronavirus poked holes in the city's preparedness for this year's heat, leaving lower-income residents to make do with severely limited options for cooling off.
COVID-19 and climate change
Then there's the issue of climate change.
Studies show global warming is accelerating the frequency and severity of heat waves — like the one Milwaukee saw in 1995 — worldwide.
And summers in Milwaukee are only getting hotter.
By 2050, it is likely the number of extremely hot days experienced in Wisconsin will quadruple, said Daniel Vimont, a UW-Madison professor and scientist at the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts. His group engages citizens, decision-makers and scientists around the state to foster solutions to climate change.
"Hot nights, warm days and increased humidity all work together to produce dangerous situations for our health," he said.
Dr. Caitlin Rublee, an emergency medicine physician at Froedert Hospital and public health physician at the Medical College of Wisconsin, has seen the health consequences when patients don't have access to quality cooling in their homes.
In the past month, she's cared for critically ill patients experiencing both COVID-19 and extreme heat, using many of the same hospital resources to treat the two.
"We are at the intersection of two public health crises: COVID-19 and climate change," Rublee said.
As future summers will bring an increase in heat waves, she said, any evictions and utility cut-offs will put residents at even greater risk of life-threatening heat related illnesses.
Wisconsin's policies on utility and eviction moratoriums don't protect the health of residents in a changing climate, she wrote in the Wisconsin State Journal.
"But we can create ones that do," she wrote. "Now is the time to create policies that protect people and build resilience against the health threats of climate change."

Q: Getting the angle that is needed for covering a given distance on an ellipse's cirumference In a small programming exercise I asked myself, I want to calculate various things about ellipses. The part I'm stuck with is the following: I want to calculate the angle that is needed cor covering a given distance on the circumference of a given ellipse, while starting on a given angle. This image should illustrate the problem:

It is guaranteed that α < 90°, but it is possible that α+β > 90°
I would like to do this only with mathematical operations that are available in 'general' programming languages (like C++, e.g. those in cmath). So, while calculating the actual result in my program, I would like to avoid integrals or derivatives. Although the result will probably less exact without these operations, it should have maximum deviation of ~5%.

A: So you want to find for given arc distance on a given ellipse between a point whose polar coordinates are $(\alpha, r_\alpha) $ , extra  $\beta $  needed,  right? There are two possibilities..
Please look up standard derivation of ellipse arc length derivation in terms elliptic integrals ( iirc, $E(\epsilon)\, 2 \pi a $, of second kind) in terms of eccentricity $ \epsilon $ or a/b. It will be easy to find because that is how elliptic integrals originally arose.
Next, you need the polar coordinate form for a central ellipse:
$$\frac{1}{r^2} =\frac{\cos ^2\theta }{a^2} + \frac{\sin ^2\theta}{b^2}. $$

A few weeks ago when I got my first look at a new, updated version of the HP Pavilion dm1, I was really excited. The original dm1, which came out at the beginning of the year, was one of the first AMD Fusion ultraportables and more than half a year later it continues to be among the best. The form factor, design, performance, and price all balanced nicely in an 11.6-inch package. And the brief hands-on time I had with the new dm1 gave the impression that it could be even better than the original.
Then late August happened. With the uncertainties surrounding HP's PC division, is the new dm1 still worth considering? I think so. It's poised to be one of the best of the next generation Fusion laptops, and you'll get your chance to own one come September 21st.
HP didn't mess with the outside of the Pavilion dm1 too much, but did make some welcome improvements. The line of the laptop is more streamlined and smooth than the first generation, the battery better integrated, and even more fingerprint-resistant. In addition to the glossy finish version, there's now a soft-touch, rubber-feeling coating available with a pattern imprinted right on the body, which adds durability and cuts down on scuffs.
On the deck and bezel, HP went with black instead of silver this time. Thankfully the keyboard remains the same, but the designers changed from a clickpad to a more traditional touchpad with mouse buttons. Both keyboard and touchpad are comfortable to use. In my short hands-on time I didn't note undue flex or difficulty typing.
The dm1 includes CoolSense technology to keep it comfortable in your lap and ProtectSmart to minimize damage to the hard drive if you jar the notebook.
I'm also glad to see that Beats Audio has made it's way into the dm1 line. It's not going to make the sound coming out of the speakers all that great, but when you attach headphones or an external setup, you'll get superior quality.
HP continues the 360 design that we've seen on several of the company's consumer notebooks — the same imprint and finish on the lid is also on the bottom. This bottom piece comes off easily, so users can access the hard drive, RAM, and even the Wi-Fi card to replace them. Tinkerers like me definitely appreciate touches like this.
The dm1 is still less than an inch thick in the front and weighs only 3.5 pounds. Due to the nice curve at the back it's comfortable to carry. Though it's not the most featherweight ultraportable, the dm1 feels light for its size while still also feeling solid and sturdy. Just as with the first one, when I had it in my hands I could definitely see myself carrying and using it all the time. The new touchpad is a definite bonus, and overall HP just made an already sleek and attractive notebook better looking.
This Pavilion dm1 will have three processor options. Remember the new AMD Fusion chips announced the other week? You'll find them both here. That means you'll get good performance plus excellent graphics.
The glossy charcoal versions will be available on September 21st, with the soft-touch models coming later this fall. The E-300 APU version (available at launch) starts at $399. HP hasn't released pricing for all of the other options yet, including the AMD E-450 model. An Intel ULV Core-i3 version, out on October 30, starts at $599.
In addition to the 7,200 rpm hard drive option, consumers will be able to configure the laptop with an SSD. No firm price points have been announced, but you can expect those models to cost around $200 more.
While you're waiting for the full review, check out my hands-on video and image gallery below.


We made it. And just in time for birthday cake, too! We pulled up at the mountain house around 5:30pm. Within two minutes of arriving, our scrub jays were on the deck demanding peanuts. It was cool and crisp and a perfect welcome home.
Saturday night, we blearily drove in to town for dinner, thinking it would be nice not to cook. I was exhausted and not hungry in the least (see birthday cake, above) but I wasn't staying home alone and I thought a drink might be nice.
Whew. Was I wrong. Last time Josh and I drove across the country, I collapsed in tears right as we walked in the door. This time, it took me a couple of hours of jittery exhaustion, before I started to sniffle at dinner. Josh said "I was wondering when you were going to freak out" and while I briefly contemplated dousing him with my untouched vodka soda for being so damned smug, I decided it was much funnier that he was right, and instead moaned dramatically for about twenty minutes then got bored and giddy and fell asleep early. Josh was very patient, especially considering he did all the driving and was therefore more entitled to the Saturday night freakout.
Yesterday, that is to say, Sunday, we did nothing. And liked it. The cat dozed on a wingback chair, Josh dozed on the sofa, and I dozed on the living room floor surrounded by stacks of magazines. We made plans for unloading the truck, patted ourselves on the back for such good planning, then had a fantastic dinner out on the deck. Josh made fricassee. I made salad and got stuck with the dishes. And it felt good, all this being at home together. Making this our home. It feels decadent and wonderful and good, and it's why I'll post an entry here that's just a list of mundanity but right now, after all of the strange movements of the last few weeks, this feels so good. Sitting out on the deck and drinking wine, not quite believing it's real yet.
Today I woke slowly, watching the light filter in through the curtains, tucked in with Josh and peaceful. The cat squeezed himself in next to us and purred for a half hour, and the details seemed sharper and more tangible than any moments in these weeks since my mother died. I realize now how little I remember from those first two weeks, even though it's only been three. Even the first couple of days of being in Kansas City are vague and distant. I wonder if a few weeks from now I'll be having trouble remembering today, so I'm writing it down. Today I had a perfectly normal morning, full of little blissfulnesses and comforts. I got up before Josh and took a bath, then made tea and had my favourite breakfast of yogurt, muesli and honey. My cat followed me all over. The house is cool and warmly lighted and I can hear the scrub jays calling for breakfast. It is not quite ten am, and I have already done a little work and called about a storage unit. The day is humming along and I am moving with it.

Two Women Assaulted for Kissing Each Other at Six Flags New England
- in National
Cyclone/Six Flags New England
Two women were attacked for kissing each other at Six Flags New England on July 29.
Around 7 p.m., officers responded to reports of a fight on a bridge near Six Flags. When they arrived, one woman had a bloody cut on her nose that she said happened from being hit.
The victim, 18, said her and her girlfriend, 19, were on their way to a tram station when they stopped on the bridge to talk and kiss. That's when she said a Hispanic woman stopped to stare at them.
When the victim asked if she had a problem, the woman said, "No, I'm just waiting for my kid. I wouldn't care about your gay a**es anyway," the police report stated.
The victim and her girlfriend started to walk away and the woman started to yell homophobic slurs at the couple. The victim said she then turned around and "got in her face," and asked what her problem was. Then, the woman started to punch the victim, knocking her to the ground. She then kicked her and pulled her hair.
Another woman came to the fight and hit the girlfriend, according to the police report. They left as a crowd gathered. The girlfriend said the two women had a knife about three inches long.
The suspects tried to leave in a car when police brought the victims to the parking lot to identify the women. They said that Damarielys Mukhtar, 29 and Nikia Butt, 27, were the attackers and the women were arrested.
Mukhtar was released on $1,000 bail and Butt is being held without right to bail as she was arrested for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in March 2014.

Barreracudas' sophomore LP, Can Do Easy, out now on vinyl on Oops Baby Records.
With members hailing from Gentleman Jesse and His Men, Beat, Beat Beat and The Hiss, Atlanta quintet the Barreracudas deliver a perfect blend of power-dirtbag-pop and dirty 70s glam. �Can Do Easy,� on Oops Baby Records is the long-awaited follow up LP to their critically acclaimed crowd-pleaser debut LP Nocturnal Missions from Douchemaster Records.
With 12 tracks packed into 31 minutes, Can Do Easy is a testament to the band�s catchy-as-hell songwriting skills that triumph in brevity, all with that sense of wise-guy lyricism that only the �Cudas could produce. These are numbers that can be sung along to on the first listen through, including a revamped version of last year�s �Promises� single, which got much airplay through the fine folks at WFMU - reaching #1 on the WFMU charts - and beyond. Here is the summer�s most fun album, destined to make �Best of 2015� lists by year�s end. From the foot-stomping opener of �The Jerk� to the humorous howl of �Shampoo� to the hip-shaking melodies of �Diet Coke�� these are songs to which audiences will no-doubt raise fists, raise hell and restart their love affair with rock �n� roll.
This reminds me, I still gotta put my digital download on my computer and whatnot. New record is total fun!

Hath-Set
(co-creator)
Dennis Neville was a comic book artist who worked for DC Comics in the 1930s and 40s.
He quickly became one of Joe Shuster's early assistants and helped him work on the early Superman daily comic strip at the time. He also worked on the detective comic series for Slam Bradley during that same time.
Neville also became known as the artist who helped Gardner Fox create the original versions of Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Hath-Set, with Flash Comics #1 1940.
Hawkman's first 3 to 4 adventures were drawn by Dennis Neville in the beginning (who was inspired by the look based on the hawkmen characters from the Flash Gordon comic strip by Alex Raymond); Neville left when he was replaced by Sheldon Moldoff, who was also replaced by Joe Kubert later on.
Joe Kubert slightly redesigned the Hawkman mask in Flash Comics # 85 (Jul 1947) and then, one year later, replaced the winged-hawk-like mask by a much simpler yellow cowl in Flash Comics #98 (Aug 1948).
Afterwards Dennis Neville returned to the Superman comic for a time.
Even though he wasn't one of the big names in early comics history, Dennis Neville did help work on some important comic features from the 'Golden Age' of American Comic Books.

Las Cruces Sun-News Published 5:15 p.m. MT Dec. 28, 2015
Sound Off!(Photo: serazetdinov, Getty Images/iStockphoto)
HOTEL PARTY — I'm not a Republican, but I feel for our governor. The recent truly slight encounter in the Santa Fe hotel will remain an annoying specter, not only for the remainder of her political life, but life itself. A passing trivial circumstance can really become unfair.
AGGIE BASKETBALL — We play within our little Mickey Mouse conference, we do great. Menzies does great. When we go out to other conferences, we lose all the time.
AGGIE BASKETBALL — Hey Menzies, please give it up. You're just embarrassing Las Cruces and New Mexico State. You have all the talent in the world, but you cannot win a non-conference game.
MARIJUANA — The latest data shows fewer children use pot, traffic fatalities are at all-time lows, fewer people take dangerous drugs and violent crime has dropped in Colorado. More taxes are collected from pot than alcohol, and Colorado has record-setting jobs. So why isn't New Mexico jumping on pot legalization, since we are 49th in everything?
GAS PRICES — Just returned from a business trip in Oklahoma City. Gas was $1.47 when I filled up yesterday, and it's a buck 70 here.
HARBISON COLUMN — We have been blessed this Christmas. Jim Harbison won't be writing his tea party propaganda anymore.
HARBISON COLUMN — Harbison's last column sounds much like his first and all the columns in between for five long, conspiracy-touting, Obama-bashing years. Thank you for one thing only, Mr. Harbison, that you chose to retire.
MESILLA — Mesilla on Christmas Eve is not the same with the light pollution from the elaborate Christmas lights and passing vehicles. The luminarias are barely noticeable. I hope that the town of Mesilla remembers that the traditional luminaria display is what makes Christmas Eve special in Mesilla.
CARTOONS — Instead of cartooning Trump every day, how about cartoons of Hillary Clinton? She has plenty of baggage to cartoon about. At least Trump is honest.
COUNTY — To the Sound Off comments attacking Commissioners Garrett and Hancock, do the math. There are five commissioners, which means it requires at least three votes for any action. Seems like the comments attacking just the two of them are an attempt to distract from the truly bizarre behavior of Sheriff Vigil. It is not working.
POLITICS — Complaints that the Sun-News should spend more time detailing former Gov. Bill Richardson's actions as governor than on Susan Martinez is comparable to complaints that the Sun-News should include more on Richard Nixon's presidency than on Obama's.
EDUCATION — As a 10-year early childhood provider, I strongly support funding school districts to check for learning disabilities, including dyslexia, attention deficit and auditory processing disorder for third-graders behind in reading, instead of retaining as the first option. Learning disabilities account for the majority of children's reading delays.
POLITICS — To the local conservatives who can't get enough anti-Obama rhetoric in the Sun-News, why not form a satellite of anti-Obama chat groups throughout the valley to participate in and enjoy.
PEACE — The Sun-News missed a rare opportunity to bring us more together when they printed messages of peace from clergy on the front page of Sun Life on Dec. 25, leaving out a similar message from the imam of the local mosque.
Be heard. Call 575-541-5466 or email soundoff@lcsun-news.com to submit an item.

Russia's military build-up in Ukraine has been condemned by its G8 partners amid fresh diplomatic efforts to avert a dangerous escalation of the crisis.
The world's seven major industrialized powers also suspended preparations for the G8 summit in Sochi in June.
Meanwhile, the EU foreign ministers are due to meet in emergency session in Brussels.
The moves come as Russian military forces continue to strengthen their grip on the Crimean peninsula.
Ukraine's interim government has accused Russia of having declared war, and has ordered the mobilization of its armed forces.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far defied calls from the West to pull back his troops.
He insists Russia has a right to protect its interests and those of Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine.
The UN said on Sunday that Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson was travelling to Ukraine to be "personally apprised of the facts on the ground".
Russia's military build-up in Ukraine has been condemned by its G8 partners
A statement said he would brief UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon "on the next steps the United Nations could take to support the de-escalation of the situation".
On Monday morning, the MICEX index of stocks in Moscow suffered an initial fall of about 5% and the rouble fell 2.5% to an all-time low against the US dollar.
Russia's central bank also raised its main interest rate to 7% from 5.5%.
The G7 of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US urged Russia to hold talks with Ukraine to address any human rights or security concerns it had.
In a statement released from the White House, the grouping said it condemned "the Russian Federation's clear violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine".
It added: "We have decided for the time being to suspend our participation in activities associated with the preparation of the scheduled G8 Summit in Sochi in June."
G7 finance ministers said they were ready "to provide strong financial backing to Ukraine".
"The International Monetary Fund [IMF] remains the institution best prepared to help Ukraine address its immediate economic challenges through policy advice and financing," a statement said.
Ukraine needs $35 billion over the next two years, according to the finance ministry.

APSEducationDisease Impacts & ManagementCase StudiesBattling Black Sigatoka of Banana in Costa RicaInstructor Notes
Battling Black Sigatoka of Banana in Costa Rica
The CaseBackground Information
The case study introduces students to a real-life crop disease management problem faced by a field manager, Señor Oscar Granados, who works at a large banana plantation in Costa Rica. The plantation is experiencing losses from a disease called black Sigatoka, a major disease of bananas that occurs worldwide. In Costa Rica, black Sigatoka is controlled by a very intensive program of fungicide applications that has resulted in the development of resistance in the black Sigatoka pathogen, a fungus called Pseudocercospora fijiensis, to several classes of fungicides. As a result, the reduced effectiveness of these fungicides has forced Sr. Granados to use older fungicides that are more hazardous to human and environmental health. These older fungicides must also be applied more frequently, resulting in the need for 70 sprays per year, which accounts for a substantial part of the cost of fruit production. Unless Sr. Granados finds a way to significantly reduce the cost of fungicide control and maintain profitable yields, he may lose his job due to the competition from other banana-exporting countries.
Students are challenged to analyze several disease management strategies and devise a plan to help Sr. Granados cut the costs of the intensive fungicide application for controlling black Sigatoka disease. This case study will help students:
Recognize black Sigatoka disease symptoms and understand how the black Sigatoka pathogen spreads.
Understand the concept of the "disease triangle," which shows that three factors (host, pathogen, and environment) must interact to cause a disease.
Understand how the risk of fungicide resistance is affected by the way fungicides are used.
Evaluate the economic, environmental, and ethical tradeoffs associated with management practices for one of the world's most economically damaging crop diseases.
Suggestions on how to use this case
The case study is designed for undergraduates at all levels and would be suitable for introductory courses in plant pathology. The discussion of the case study can be completed in a single 50- to 90-minute class period and is most suitable for class sizes of 10 to 50 students. We strongly suggest that students read the case study and background information before the class period. Additionally, students should complete a brief written assignment related to the introductory questions prior to the class period so that they are familiar with the case and prepared for in-class discussion.
At the beginning of the class, students can be divided into groups of 4 to 6 members. If desired, printouts of the case and background information can be distributed to each group and used as references for discussion. Before group discussion, we suggest that the instructor take 5 to 10 minutes to refresh students' memories of the case and its cast of characters while asking students to answer the questions in the pre-class assignment. It may be helpful to show images of black Sigatoka symptoms and review current fungicide spray practices in banana plantations. At this point, the instructor can ask the students to share their opinions on what makes the disease so challenging to control for Sr. Granados. Students should consider the climate in Costa Rica, the difficulties in breeding new, resistant banana cultivars, and the rise of fungicide resistance. After that, the instructor may wish to review the disease triangle concept and bring up the available strategies that could be used to manage black Sigatoka.
Following the introduction, we suggest giving students 5 minutes to briefly discuss, in their groups, which components of the disease triangle are targeted by each management strategy. This warm-up activity can prepare students to discuss the pros and cons of the available management practices. We suggest allowing 15 minutes for groups to weigh each management strategy and write up a plan with two or three management recommendations for Sr. Granados. After group discussion, a representative for each group can summarize the group's recommendations on the board. The instructor can then contrast the strategies among groups and facilitate class discussion by asking questions about which factors influenced students' decision-making. Students presenting cultural practices (e.g., improving soil drainage, removing infected leaves) can be prompted to discuss the possible economic constraints, such as the cost of labor. In the case of applying disease-warning systems to guide the timing of fungicide sprays, students should discuss the climate situation in eastern Costa Rica, the choice of fungicides, and the timing of fungicide spraying. Environmental and health tradeoffs of fungicide spraying should be mentioned during the discussion. Students presenting biological control strategies should discuss the effectiveness of the strategy and the time constraints associated with Sr. Granados's situation.
Based on our experience trying out the case study in an Iowa State University introductory plant pathology class of 33 students, a 50-minute class period is enough for the discussion questions listed below. We found that having students read the case study and background information beforehand facilitates the classroom discussion. Among these students, 72% thought that the classroom discussion contributed the most to their learning; they felt that the case study provided a fun and informative way of learning. Many students were also interested in discussing the potential risks and benefits of using genetically modified bananas with resistance to black Sigatoka. Thoughts that also emerged from the discussion include societal perceptions and regulation of genetically modified crops, public awareness of fungicide application, and concerns about food safety. Some students suggested to have more discussion about the health and environmental hazards of fungicides.
The case study is easily adaptable to a longer class period with more in-depth background introduction about the development of the disease and explanation of the principles of fungicide resistance and resistance management. More images and videos of the plantations can be shared to help students better envision the case. It is also possible to adapt this case to a classroom with graduate students. Before the class session, only the first part of the case could be given to students; students can read about Sr. Granados's situation and do research to seek potential management practices to help him. The second part of the case, which introduces the available strategies, could be distributed to students in class before group discussion. In this way, students would be challenged to think creatively and be prepared to participate actively in class discussion.
Introductory questions
What are the symptoms of black Sigatoka on banana plants?
How does the black Sigatoka pathogen spread?
What environmental and agronomic conditions in banana plantations in eastern Costa Rica make the black Sigatoka fungus thrive all year round?
List the management strategies that are available to control black Sigatoka.
What makes conventional breeding of disease-resistant banana cultivars so difficult?
For each disease management strategy listed below, what component(s) of the disease triangle does it mainly target?
a. Spraying fungicides intensively
b. Developing disease-resistant banana cultivars
c. Improving drainage systems
d. Reducing plant density
e. Removing infected leaves
f. Applying urea to accelerate decomposition of fallen leaves and stems
g. Applying disease-warning systems to guide fungicide spray timing
h. Biological control
Putting yourself in Sr. Granados's situation, discuss the pros and cons of the available disease management practices. Consider economic, environmental, and ethical implications of these practices. What management strategies would you choose to help Sr. Granados reduce the plantation's disease control costs substantially within six months? Write down two or three strategies.
If a genetically modified banana cultivar with resistance to black Sigatoka was available, should it be adopted by growers? What are the risks and benefits?

A Fish is compassionate, wise, understanding and psychic, and they are sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others. Even though they are good at sharing the feelings of others giving them comforts, frequently they also expects this from others. A Virgo can help them by gently pointing out to the Piscean a certain image or idea may not be as negative as Pisces used to think, by giving them the comfort they need.
Connection with a Virgin will provide a solid, steady base of the emotional and intuitive Fish, by which helping them to fulfill their dreams and ambitions. In turn, Pisces will offer Virgo, the gentleness, kindness and an emotional depth. Conflicts are rare between them, and if any arise they will get solved without much effort.
Both adore each other, and will be willing to work toward a harmonious relationship. However, their life's aspirations are very different. Pisces is simple and have a simplistic attitude towards the material comforts, which is a necessary for the life style of Virgo. If they are able to overcome this difference there will be a rewarding relationship between this two.
The Signs Virgo and Pisces are opposite to each other within the Zodiac, making their relation well balanced and by offering what the other lacks. They are easy-going, doing good duo, committing themselves to serving the community as well as each other.
Both Virgo man and Pisces woman have a gentle and humble nature and both of them seek sympathetic understanding from friends. For a compatible relation he have to learn to relax, and must also stop finding fault with her while she's trying to please him. She must try to be more open to him and must get rid of her absentmindedness.
They are strongly motivated to work towards union because they are mainly concerned with helping and loving each other. However, they are not of the battling kind. Instead, here we find that they both have the wisdom to admire certain qualities of the other. She will love the way Virgo's have everything so organized, tidy and properly filed away. On the other hand, he will greatly benefit from hanging around the gentle, easy-going Fish as they tend to be too uptight. This could be an enchanting and solid relationship.

Q: subtract values of same column I´m trying to subtract the values of a weight column order by date desc, so I can get the difference between them ,example:
weight values :90-93-94-97
desired output: 0-3-1-3
90-90 | 93-90 |94-93| 97-94

A: SQL Lite does not support running total or cumulative totals. But you can compute it round about way
Assume the following tables: tb_user, tb_weight:
|------------------|    |----------------------|
|   Id   | Name    |    |UserId| Date  | Weight|
|------------------|    |----------------------|
|   U1   | John    |    |  U1  | 1-Jan | 90    |
|   U2   | Jill    |    |  U2  | 2-Jan | 93    |
|------------------|    |  U1  | 3-Jan | 94    |
                        |  U2  | 4-Jan | 97    |
                        |----------------------|

    SELECT user.name,
           current.date,
           current.weight,
           current.weight - (SELECT previous.weight -- select weight on the previous day available
                               FROM tb_weight previous
                              WHERE previous.date < current.date
                                AND previous.userId = user.id
                           ORDER BY previous.date DESC
                              LIMIT 1) -- select the top 1 record
    FROM tb_weight current
  INNER JOIN tb_user users ON (users.id = current.UserId)
      ORDER BY current.date DESC

Update on 22SEP2014: Added join with User table as requested

A: Here's a query that joins to rows to the previous row  (except for the first weight row, which subtracts itself)
select x.date, x.weight, x.weight - coalesce(y.weight, x.weight) delta
from (
  select w.date, w.weight, max(d.date) previous
  from weights w
  left join weights d on d.date < w.date
  group by w.date, w.weight) x
left join weights y on y.date = previous
order by x.date

See SQLFiddle using data:
2014-01-01 90
2014-01-02 93
2014-01-03 94
2014-01-04 94
2014-01-05 93
2014-01-06 97

and producing output of:
date        weight  delta
2014-01-01  90      0
2014-01-02  93      3
2014-01-03  94      1
2014-01-04  94      0
2014-01-05  93      -1
2014-01-06  97      4

Chapter 435: Qingyu Island
Posted on September 9, 2020 by King-Kong
"Middle Sky Continent?!"
The two Liu Ming looked at each other in shock!
They are all well-informed people, even in remote places like the Sea Region, they naturally heard the name Middle Sky Continent!
Middle Sky Continent could be said to be the real prosperous place of cultivator. It had a vast area and countless cultivation sects. It was the birthplace of the human race since ancient times.
In Liu Ming's heart, he yearned for Middle Sky Continent even more. Grandmaster Liuyin, the grandmaster of Savage Ghost Sect, was born in the Middle Sky Continent Taiqing Sect, then he later settled on Yunchuan Island and created the Savage Ghost Sect.
The Hell Bone Code, Tiger Dragon Hell Prison that he practiced were also originated from the Middle Sky Continent.
However, even though the two of them are both acquainted with the Middle Sky Continent, they also had the urge to go to the Middle Sky Continent to see it. But they now appeared near the sea of the Middle Sky Continent, it still shocked them!
"If you really came from the other area through the space fissure, it might not be an easy task to go back." Wei Yun looked at the expressions of the two and asked faintly. He could guess the situation of them.
Xin Yuan nodded with a wry smile. He did not deny anything this time.
"It's nothing. Our Changfeng Association is one of the major local forces. It is originally formed by a large number of casual cultivators, and we don't reject foreign cultivators." The man in green robe said with a smile.
"Oh, since your association can seal the entire island, it seems that the power is indeed not small. These people are…" Liu Ming's heart moved when he heard the words. After slowly looking to the Qi Cultivators not far away, he asked seemingly casually.
"These people are just two groups of human forces attached to my Changfeng Association. They are fighting here today to fight for the mining rights of a spirit stone mineral vein, and this matter happened to be under my supervision. I'm really for disturbing you two." Wei Yun followed Liu Ming's gaze and looked around. He answered casually, then he waved at the two groups of people.
The man in red robe and the young woman in green shirt immediately understood this and hurried over. They saluted Wei Yun respectfully.
"Senior Wei!"
"Hmph, you two are in a duel, but you didn't control your members. Now that you offended the two guests, why aren't you apologizing quickly?" Wei Yun snorted with hands behind his back.
Their expression immediately looked shock. They immediately leaned over to Liu Ming and Xin Yuan in fear and trepidation to bow to them, and they apologized repeatedly.
"Hehe, this is just a trivial matter. I don't blame them." Liu Ming said with a calm face while Xin Yuan was indifferent by the side..
"Fine. This time is just your first offend, so I will spare you this time. However, starting from this month, the monthly payment for the mines mined under your group will increase by 10% as a punishment. As for the duel, find another time for it. Now take your people and retreat!" The man in green robe waved his hand and said coldly.
The muscular man in the red robe and the young woman in green shirt looked bitter when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to argue. They nodded and retreated. They were obviously afraid of this man in green robe.
After dismissing these two groups of people, Wei Yun's unhappy face returned normal. He turned and talked to Liu Ming and Xin Yuan, and they also took this opportunity to ask the situation about the South Sea Region.
"… In general, the South Sea Region islands have different forces. If you don't join one of them, it is not easy to survive. I see that your cultivation is quite extraordinary, and since it is your first time visiting the South Sea Region islands, why don't you be a guest in our association? Our association produces a kind of spiritual tea named, 'Black Star'. It has the magical effect of nourishing the meridians. You two can have a taste of it." After Wei Yun talked to the two of them, he finally revealed the purpose of building this friendship.
"Brother Liu, what do you think?" Xin Yuan glanced at Liu Ming and said with a smile.
"We are here for the first time, so we should be careful in everything. However, this person doesn't seem to have any ill intentions to us. He is probably trying to invite us to join his association. I think we can go and take a look. If we really need to settle here, I think we definitely have to join a force." Liu Ming pondered for a moment, then he sent a voice transmission.
"Since you are so kind, we will accept your kindness." Xin Yuan said to Wei Yun with a flash in his eyes.
"How is that so? It's the pleasure of our association to be visited by two guests." Wei Yun was also overjoyed upon hearing this.
Having said that, an inch size large round ring flew out from his sleeve. It spun in the air, then it was caught in his hand. His other hand launched a symbol at it.
A burst of green light suddenly appeared in the ring. After a clear chirping sound came, a green light surged out. It transformed into a ten meters green spiritual bird. It was actually a green crane.
After the three of them got on the back of the spiritual bird, the man in green robe groaned. The green crane flapped its wing and soared into the sky, turning into a green light that flew away from the island.
On the back of the spiritual bird, Wei Yun probed on the background of them and the Sea Region, but they naturally weren't willing to talk about that and brushed him off.
Seeing this, the man in green robe didn't ask any more questions, but he started to introduce the Changfeng Association.
"Our association has a history of more than 100 years since its founding. In addition to the chairman of the early stage of the Crystallization Period and the two vice-chairmen of the Condensation Period later stage, there are also some hall masters and guests. There are about thirty or forty of them; all of whom are the intermediate stage of the Condensation Period. The others are just some small forces. So, our association is one of the largest forces in the archipelago."
"I didn't expect your master to be in the Crystallization Period. It seems that your association is really full of talents!" Liu Ming replied with a faint smile. The strength of this Changfeng Association was almost the same as that of Savage Ghost Sect.
"Not at all! Brother Liu has overpraised, but among the forces of the South Sea Region islands, our Changfeng Association is the organization that has the most casual cultivators. Unlike other gangs where there are many rules to restrict their members, and the benefits are also quite a lot. Once you become a guest elder, not only you will be able to read the ancient books in the library, you can also buy different resources for cultivating in the association's shops at a cheaper price. Moreover, the Condensation Period cultivators will also practice to gain experience regularly. Master will also attend and give some advice to us. That is why there are so many people joining us."
As the man in green robe said this, he paused and said sincerely, "With the cultivation of you two, if you are willing to join, you will definitely be able to be a high-level guest with generous treatment. What do you guys think?"
"I really thank Wei Daoyou for your kindness, but I'm used to having my own freedom. I'm afraid I can take any kind of restraint." Liu Ming yawned and replied.
Xin Yuan also didn't say much.
Wei Yun didn't get annoyed when he saw this. Instead, he changed the topic and introduced the whole situation of the South Sea Region.
Liu Ming and Xin Yuan learned from the following introduction that the South Sea Region was generally ruled by the so-called top ten sects.
These ten sects had a long history, and each sect had a Real Pellet State powerhouse. In addition, this South Sea Region was only divided by the sea from the Middle Sky Continent, and most of them were related to the Middle Sky Continent's sects that had tens of thousands of years histories.
Under the top ten sects, there were many small and medium sect forces under them, and the Changfeng Association was nominally under the Purple Night Temple of the top ten sects!
This Purple Night Temple was a famous taoist sect in the South Sea Region for its talisman art. There were even sects from the inland of the Middle Sky Continent buying specifically from them despite the long distance.
And small and medium forces such as the Changfeng Association must pay a certain amount of offer to the top ten sects every year, and the top ten sects would be responsible for ensuring that these small and medium forces were not annexed or threatened by other major sects!
It was worth mentioning that the South Sea Region had nothing special as compared to the other regions of the Middle Sky Continent, but there were several rare water attribute minerals and some special products of spiritual medicine, which were not available in other places.
From the introduction of the man in green robe, Liu Ming and Xin Yuan gradually had a general understanding of this South Sea Region.
Wei Yun was a very talkative person, so the three were bored while rushing back.
In this way, after the giant bird flew over some islands, half a day later, it finally arrived on a huge island with a radius of more than a hundred miles.
"Below is the main base of our Changfeng Association, Qingyu Island." Wei Yun pointed to the island below with a hint of contentment on his face.
Liu Ming and the two looked in the direction he was pointing at. They saw a luxuriant and green scenery. The island was long with one end wider and the other narrower. From a distance, the entire island looked like a big green fish (Qingyu means green fish in Chinese).
What was more special was that a long narrow strait in the center of the island divided the "head" and "tail" of the big island into two from the middle.
Wei Yun controlled the spiritual bird to continue flying as he introduced, "This Qingyu Island is separated into west island and east island with this strait. East island which is the fish head is the headquarters of Changfeng Association. It is said that there is a spiritual vein deep in the ground here. Most of the Changfeng Association's disciples and guests live here. On the west island, it's rather messy. It is mainly occupied for the casual cultivators."
Hearing Wei Yun's description, they found that most of the buildings on the island below were built of green boulders, but the strange thing was that they all had a dome.
It was almost dusk now. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the domes of the entire island's structures could not help but glow with a faint halo, like the scales of a fish.
Not long after, the spiritual big landed slowly on the easternmost part of the island; a clearing in front of a tall building built on the hillside.
"Please come in."
After Liu Ming and Liu Ming got off from the green crane, Wei Yun also flew down in a flash. He then threw out the round ring to call back the spiritual bird.
Then, with a smile on his face, he led the two to the huge building.

Thanks for the chapter KING-KONG! At least given how developed this area is it should be easier for them to cultivate compared to back home.

The Twitterverse responded with nothing but love and support for the single father of four, calling him a "king" and saying he needed to be "protected at all costs."
"I had no idea it was going to blow up," Saville said. "People are still re-tweeting and liking it now."
Saville said she waited to tell her father about his newfound Twitter fame. The same day she made the viral post, she said her dad drove all the way from their home in Friendswood to Webster for a date but got stood up.
"He got home that night and he was really sad," Saville said. "I didn't want to make him sad and mad on the same night, so I told him the next morning."

Saville said her father was "a little embarrassed" of the post at first, but lightened up once he realized the outpouring of support from so many people it garnered.
"Once he saw how many people were relating to it he started getting really excited about it," she said.
Many young commenters offered to ask their mothers to go on dates with Jeff, while others shared similar stories about their own parents. As far as her father's love life goes now, Saville said she helped him create his own Twitter profile where he can more easily connect with future dates.
"I opened his DMs [direct messages] in Twitter so hopefully he will be getting some soon," she laughed.
Saville said her father is dedicated to his children and deserves to find the right "one."
"He wants someone who is wholeheartedly centered on the Lord and that is outgoing, funny, down to earth and sweet," Saville said. "That's what he always says when he describes who he wants to find in his soulmate."

I debated for a while whether or not I wanted to actually even write this blog post. I am not one to discuss or (in some cases) argue politics. However, the amount of hate, negativity, and just plain ignorance I've seen in the past week alone, has made me change my mind.
The way the Presidential Election works is not something that is new to America. Someone wins, someone loses. That's how it always has been. Donald Trump won, and Hillary Clinton lost. If this is upsetting to you, that's okay. You're entitled to your own opinion. If you're happy that Trump won, that's okay too. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion – that's the beauty of America. We are the Land of the Free. We all have the right to express our opinions. And I believe that we should. Everyone's voice should be heard.
Before I go any further, I would like to say this: I was not/am not a Trump supporter, or a Hillary supporter. I do not care for either one of them. I do not believe either were qualified candidates to run our country. Trump clearly does not speak before he thinks; he makes these crude, horrible comments, and it's not okay. Hillary, in my opinion, comes across as sneaky. I don't believe she's trustworthy. To me, I truly did not care that much about who won the election. I felt like we were screwed regardless, to be honest. I knew that when the winner was announced, it would not effect me greatly. I knew no matter which way it ended up going, someone was going to be upset. That's a given. What I did not expect, though, was the outright ignorance, hatred, and righteousness of the losing party.
Being upset is understandable. What is not understandable to me, however, is attacking anyone you believe even remotely supports Trump, and passing so much judgement on them as a person. Your political views do not define you. I know many wonderful people (women included) who voted for Donald Trump. No, they are not racist. They are not sexist. They are not homophobic. I also know many wonderful people who voted for Hillary. They are not judgemental, unforgiving or naive. These are people I love and care for, and their political preference has not made me think any more or any less of them. As it should be. Politics should not come between families and friendships. You should be able to agree to disagree. Clearly, this is much easier said than done.
I don't believe in the protests that have been occurring around the country. But, like I just said – agree to disagree. If you want to protest, go for it. You have every right to. What you do not have a right to, however, is turning protesting into acts of violence. Has anyone sat back and thought of how hypocritical it is to oppose Donald Trump for his hatred, when you're behaving in the exact same manner you claim to dislike? To burn the American flag, to start fires, to physically and verbally hurt other people – what are you trying to accomplish? Do you think that these are not acts of violence and hate?
You don't have to like Donald Trump, but he is the President of the United States. He won. Saying, "He's not my president", is not going to change that. Rioting is not going to change that. Ending friendships and relationships with someone who does not agree with you will not change that. It's a fact. You don't have like to it, but we should be able to accept it. Do I want him as my president? No, not particularly. But he is. And I hope that he does great things, I truly do. As an American, why would I want our country to fail? I think that's what I am having a hard time understanding the most. If anything, we should be coming together as a nation right now, not creating a divide between each other.
To say that I wish more people had the same outlook as me sounds very egotistical of me, but I do. There are more important things to life. If I've learned anything this year, it's that life is too short. I have no time for hatred. I want to be the best person I can be – kind, compassionate, and loving. I have no intention of taking any moments with my loved ones for granted. Especially over politics.

The refineries in the country have continued to remain in a state of comatose, with incoming governments making bigger promises than the previous.
Nigerians have decried the state of the refineries, making pleas to the government to fix them but nothing seems to have been done.
The lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Senate, Senator Shehu Sani has shed light on the categories of people who have rendered the refineries dead in the country.
In a tweet on Sunday morning, the former lawmaker wrote: "The refineries are crippled by five categories of people; those who want them sold, those who want to buy them, those who import, those who benefit from the importation of petroleum products and the Turn around maintenance gang."
