Sussex County farmers markets are key for many vendors at the beach.
Now that spring is here, it will not be long before the region's popular farmers markets are open for business.
Every year, residents and tourists alike flock to seasonal markets in search of local fruits and vegetables along with flowers, baked goods, jams, eggs and meat.
But these popular markets also provide some necessary income for farmers who are surviving on the proceeds from local sales.
"A lot of the farmers in our market are dependent on us to make a living," said Helaine Harris, co-founder of two highly successful farmers markets in Lewes.
Most Sussex County markets, in turn, support local farmers by being "community-based," meaning that vendors must grow what they sell.
And a recent Delaware report underscores the economic importance of farmers markets throughout a state that considers agriculture one of its most important industries.
The new study shows that Delaware farmers markets recorded one of the best years ever in 2017, generating over $3 million in sales at 21 community-run retail sites in the state's three counties.
Proponents of the local markets say the robust sales figures show that consumers are increasingly interested in locally raised fruits, vegetables and other farm-raised commodities.
"It is a benefit for both sides. Residents gain access to fresh, local product and our farmers gain a local market demand that continues to grow," said Kenneth Bounds, Delaware deputy agriculture secretary.
Sussex County has 10 farmers markets, many of them positioned to attract seasonal tourists. Sussex County also leads the state in farmland acreage.
The Rehoboth Beach Farmers Market is open Tuesdays from June through October.
Market Manager Pat Coluzzi said the weekly market usually has at least 45 vendors. It, too, is a producer-only market.
"People seem to like that idea," she said.
And the organizers like the idea of helping local farmers.
"For a lot of our farmers, this is their bread and butter," she said.
Bennett Orchards in Frankford has supported six generations but, because the farm is surrounded by rampant coastal development, expanding has been out of the question.
"Land is just too expensive for us to expand and that is why farmers markets have been so helpful for us," Henry Bennett said.
Indeed, the Bennetts have survived by concentrating on retail sales – on the farm and at local markets.
Bennett said they are currently selling peaches and blueberries at seven local markets, including Bethany Beach, Rehoboth Beach, two in Lewes, Sea Colony, Fenwick Island and Ocean City.
"Farmers markets have helped us grow," Bennett said.
The increased popularity of markets has been a factor too.
Harris, manager of two markets in Lewes, said their Saturday event at George H.P. Smith Park attracts 35 vendors and as many as 3,000 visitors weekly.
Two years ago, they expanded to a second location next to the popular Crooked Hammock microbrewery. The second market is open on Wednesday morning.
Most Delaware markets are open from May through September.
Hattie Allen, one of the first to sell produce at the original market on the grounds of the Lewes Historical Society, also has a small greenhouse to raise potting plants and off-season produce.
Though her farm garden is small – roughly half an acre – she supplements her market sales by conducting gardening classes.
In the offseason, Allen also bolsters her income – and helps other local farmers – by running a weekly home delivery service for a range of market-related products, including greenhouse grown produce, eggs, seafood, cheese, mushrooms, baked goods and locally raised meats.
"It is a tough life but I really enjoy doing it," she said.
Keith Irwin, owner of Old World Breads in Lewes, sells his artisan baked goods at nine farmers markets, all but one of them in Delaware.
"It's definitely worth the effort for us," he said.
Kent County has one market, in downtown Dover a few blocks from the state capitol.
Manager Tina Bradbury said the market "basically serves the lunch crowd" although it also serves inner city families who lack transportation.
"Dover is not a food desert but it is close," Bradbury said.
New Castle, the state's northern county, also has 10 markets and most are located on park land.
Michael Begatto Jr., county community services coordinator, said the market at Carousel Park in Pike Creek is probably the most popular, annually attracting about 14,500 visitors.
Begatto said the New Castle markets attract a number of Amish farmers from Pennsylvania. "The Amish farmers are a big draw," he said.
All Delaware markets work to attract younger clients – a key to future survival.
"We see a lot of young families," said Harris of the Lewes market.
Each of the markets in Delaware charges a vendor's fee that runs between $400 and $500 annually.
Though incomes can vary, some of the most successful vendors in Delaware are bringing in as much as $4,000 per weekly market.
And that income can mean the difference between surviving or failing.
"We have been able to save several farms because of our market," said Coluzzi.
Allen, owner of Hattie's Garden in Lewes, has already started plants in her greenhouse in anticipation of this year's market season. Among her offerings: vegetables, flowers and herbs. She also sells plants for those who would prefer to grow their own.
Though farming is hard work, Allen enjoys the effort.
"Honestly, I would not want to do anything else," said Allen.

DVD Launch Party Raises the Roof!
The Welcome to Wonderland Premiere Screening and After Party on the 19th of May raised the roof with 800 plus people joining us to celebrate the realisation of a dream. It truly was a night to remember! The excitement grew as a queue of people formed before the doors opened and when they did, a steady stream flowed in until the early hours of the morning.
The venue was transformed. The 'great outdoors' was brought inside, with fluro autumn leaves scattered on the dance floor and around bean bags, and hundreds of magical fairy lights hung high like stars in the sky. Welcome to Wonderland came to life on multiple big screens and plasma TVs, and the crowd that had gathered for the screening filled every available viewing space over the two levels.
As the film ended, people cheered and ran to the dance floor bringing it to life. We couldn't have asked for a better response! The venue exploded with energy, as the dance floor pulsated to the beats. It was fantastic!
A huge thank you to everyone who came, and a special thanks to everyone that helped us set up and pack up, and of course our wonderful DJs. This has been an epic journey for us, and it is amazing to be able to share the film with you.

We couldn't just pick one of these soft blues, so we decided to show you an entire color sleeve – color sleeve 219 to be exact. This sleeve played a big role in our Homearama 2016 Office and Front Guest Bedroom. The entire sleeve includes Tradewind (SW-6218), Rain (SW-6219), Interesting Aqua (SW-6220), Delft (SW-9134), Moody Blue (SW-6221), Riverway (SW-6222), and Still Water (SW-6223).
Take note: this is in the new Sherwin Williams Color Paint Deck where they have moved some colors to their neutrals group. Older decks won't have Delft (notice the non-sequential numbering on that one).
Interesting Aqua is the background for our plaid accent wall in last year's Homearama office. We wanted to make sure that the large wall opposite the built-in was able to hold its own without feeling out of balance. We incorporated a couple of other colors on the paint strip (Moody Blue:SW6221 and Delft:SW9134) to create the plaid effect on the wall. Click on the pictures below to get to the full post!
We painted the walls Sherwin Williams's Rain (SW6219) and randomly placed stencils of vintage passport stamps in a pewter finish throughout the room. Just one up from Interesting Aqua on the color strip, you can see that it seems so much brighter! Window placement also influences how the color shows up.

Transcript OFFICERS INSTALLED WEDNESDAY COMMENCEMENT MAY 20 Vol. 1, No. 16 MAY 3, 1929 FRIDAY POSTPONE OFFICER INSTALLATION MEET ORIGINALLY SET TODAY TO BE HELD WEDNESDAY Vaccaro, Vlautin, Casey, Mc- Corrnack Will Take Student Oath Next Week Student body officers for the year of 1930 will take the oath of office in inaugural ceremonies to be held in the College Auditorium Wednesday morning. The meeting was originally set for today, but due to the fact that there were only two classes scheduled faculty authorities ruled that the meeting which would cut another period be postponed until Wednesday. The officers elected in the recent student pell will then be installed. Those who will take the oaths are Richard A. Vaccaro, 30, president; John Casey, '30, vice president; Paul Vlautin, '30, treasurer; Joseph Mc- Cormack, '31, secretary. It will be the first time that the oath of office was administered to St. Ignatius College Student Body officers. Speeches will be made both by Francis J. Colligan, retiring president of the Associated Students of St. Ignatius College, and by the incoming president, Vaccaro. DATE OF ANNUAL PUBLICATION IS SET FOR MAY 13 EVENING DIVISION TO ELECT TONIGHT Elections for the office of secretary in the evening division of St. Ignatius College will be held tonight. Votes will be cast for Norah Sulli- .van of the commerce rjivisian and James Coleman of the law division. Officers elected by unanimous choice on last Monday night were Harry N. Grover of the law division, president; Cecil P. Dana of the commerce and finance division, vice president and Pomeroy of the law division was named treasurer. Holmes of the law division received the office of sergeant at arms. John Rudden was also nominated by Eneas J. Kane. Ignatians Form New Fraternity A social fraternity, demanding high scholastic requirements, was formed last week at St. Ignatius. The fraternity will be known as the Alpha Tau Beta and will be the local chapter of the Alpha Lambda fraternity of Loyola College. Ignatian Alumni Will Be Ordained Word has just come that six alumni of St. Ignatius are about to be ordained this summer. Many are well known to students now attending both Day and Night Colleges. They are: Charles J. Walsh, S. J. Gerald F. Leahy, S.

JAM FRANCISCO Book This Year Is To Be Dedicated to Fr. James J. Con- Ion, S.J., Chemistry Head By Daniel C. Deasy, Jr. The 1929 Ignatian is already off the press. All that remains to be done before the book can be delivered on the campus is the binding and covering, which will take between a week and ten days. Tbe book will positively appear on May 13th. There are only five hundred copies for sale, which means about one for each two students. If you want a year-book get your deposit in before the 13th. The book this year has been dedicated to Fr. James J. Conlon, head of the Chemistry Department. The aim of the staff this year was to produce "a better and more adequate chronicle of a better and more progressive college year." That the 1929 Ignatian will be such a record of the year we feel assured. That it will be more adequate we know, since ninety pages have been added to last year's book, and the extra pages distributed proportionately through the four chapters—the College, Activities, Organizations, and Ahtletics. That it will be better we are sure, if novelty is a sign of improvement. Most Novel For the journal this year will certainly be novel, as Ignatians go. We have added a second color to the book proper, which appears in the borders of the pages. We have introduced something new in the form of tint- blocks, upoti wirteii" 'the subdivision cuts are printed. These number sixteen, a greater number than usual, and are the work of Russ Keil and Ed. McDevitt, both of the Sophomore class. Another innovation is found in the colored tip-ins. These are in four colors, printed on a paper a little darker than the book proper, and, represent the Progress of the Law. Opposite each one is an octet of verse describing the plate, and linking the four together. As to the type, open-face is being used on the title page, and for titles throughout the book. Open-face initials are used for all the major stories. Black Cover The cover is black, with the Loyol- an Arms and the name of the book in a sort of "unburnished bronze." Another novelty is the arrangement of the class section. The seniors are placed four on a page, with a record of each man's activities during his course at St. Ignatius. The juniors are (Continued on Page 4, Col. 3) Little Theatre PlayeH Climax 1929 Dramatic Season with Pollock's "Enemy EXTENSIVE SOCIAL PROGRAM OUTLINED FOR COMMENCEMENT Junior Prom, Farewell Dinners Fixed To Precede 70th Graduation Ceremonies Alexis I.

Deschout, S. J., who will be ordained at Louvain. Following the conclusion of the oral examinations, festivities in honor of the seventieth Commencement of St. Ignatius College will take place upon the Heights. The most outstanding social event of the season, the junior prom, will be held in the terrace of the Fairmont Hotel on Saturday evening, May 18. Seniors will be admitted without bids, due to arrangements just concluded between the prom committee and the executive board. Baccalaureate Mass . On the following morning, May 19, at ten o'clock the annual Baccalaureate Mass will be celebrated in the Collegiate Church by Father President Edward J. Whelan, S.J. On Sunday evening a number of farewell dinners are being planned by various student groups throughout the college in honor of graduating members. New Dreamland The climax of festivities will come on Monday evening, May 20, when the magnificent Dreamland Auditorium will be the scene of the annual Commencement exercises, presided over by Most Reverend Edward J. Hanna, Archbishop of San Francisco. The largest graduating class in the history of Catholic colleges on the Pacific Coast will receive their degrees. The move to hold the graduating exercises in the new Dreamland Auditorium was made early this year and was necessitated by the growth of the St. Ignatius College graduating classes. Not only will the graduating class receive diplomas, but junior certificates. Over a hundred will be given out when the commencement exercises are held. O'Kane To Speak The new Dreamland will seat over 4000 people under the conditions which will surround the graduation. The new auditorium has been the scene of many operas this year. The speakers from the day college on the program during the commencement exercises will be John O'Kane, St. Ignatius College's leading orator, who will deliver the valedictory, and Daniel D. Deasy, who will read a literary essay. Interest Grows For Junior Prom; Set For Fairmont With more than two-thirds of the limited one hundred and fifty bids already sold, the success of the Prom of 'Thirty, to be held in the Fairmont Terraces on Saturday evening, May 18, is assured. Complete plans outlined by the committee in charge point to the most elaborate Ignatian social function in years. Special lighting effects, excellent music and sensational favors will feature the event. Special Lighting Special lighting effects will transform the familiar Fairmont Terrace. These will include designs of the school insignia, spotlights, and overhead shades of distinctly Ignatian hue. Kleckner Wins First President's Day Pentathlon; Leads List of Competitors at Kezar Stadium With 3922 Points Total Bob Kleckner won the first President's Day Pentathalon last Wednesday by scoring 3922 points as against 3556 for his nearest competitor, Elmer Sadocchi. The meet was handled by Jimmy Needles and track coach Charley Hunter and was run off in good fashion. The assembled students who witnessed the same acclaimed it to be the best seen on the coast in many years and as the score indicates all events were close. Fast Times in the 100 Sadocchi and Montague both ran the 100 yard dash in 10.1, while others were close on their heels. Kleckner, the winner ran a good 10.2 but was nosed out b; Sadocchi.

FINAL PLAY OF YEAR FINISHES FOUR DAY RUN War Drama, Sixth Production, Among Best Staged During Ignatian Year WORLD PREMIERE TO OPEN SEASON Permanent Injunction Given Against Removal In Cemetery Question A permanent injunction against the removal of bodies from Masonic cemetery has been handed down by Judge Kerrigan before whom the question was brought for decision last month. The decision was given in favor of those who opposed the order of the Board of Supervisors, making legal the removal of bodies from Masonic and Oddfellows cemeteries. The removal of bodies from these cemeteries was sought by St. Ignatius College in order to expand into the vacated ground. Grounds The grounds on which the injunction was granted was that the order from the Supervisors only permitted the removal of bodies from two of the four cemeteries long involved in the same question in San Francisco, namely Oddfellows, Masonic, Laurel Hill. and Calvary. Opponents of removal claimed that it was an unjust discrimination to remove bodies from Odd Fellows and Masonic. Two courses are open to have the bodies removed. Either an appeal to a higher court or the obtaining of a new order from the Supervisors to include all four cemeteries. The new year of the College Players will open with a world premiere of "Quien Sabe" by Dr. Chas. D. McGettigan, physician and playwright of San Francisco. Director James J. Gill has said that this play will be unquestionably the finest yet presented under his direction. The play was written with a California early-day background, and Mr. Gill sees in this one of the chief merits of the play. Dr. McGettigan has caught the spirit of romantic California in the days of the Dons and has presented it in "Quien Sabe" as very few, even Callfornians, could have done. The enthusiasm of Director Gill is shared by critics prominent In dramatic circles, all of whom predict the greatest success for the play. Their statements are borne out by the fact that one of America's most prominent actor-producers has already opened negotiations with Dr. McGettigan for a presentation of the play. Dr. McGettigan has been unusually interested in the progress of Ignatian dramatics, and his permission to present the premiere of "Quien Sabe" through the College Players is the best evidence of his keen interest. The fact that the College Players are to handle the play before its appearance on the professional stage indicates further the high opinion which Dr. McGettigan entertains of Ignatian dramatics. Annual Summer Vacation To Last May 18-Aug. 19 The summer vacation will start immediately following the final exercises on May 18 and students returning to college will come back August 19 for the first class day. Registration for freshmen and new students will be on August 13 and 14, and general registration will take place on August 15-16. Seniors Plan To Make Last Retreat The Class of 1929, graduating on May 20, will make a retreat at the Jesuit retreat house at Los Altos before commencement. Although the date is not yet decided upon it is expected to occur this month. Evening Division Forms Constitution The Evening Division of St. Ignatius College in a general student body meeting last week, authorized the drawing up of a new constitution by the Executive Council. The constitution has been made and published. Vincent K. Butler Is Co-Author of Tax Book Vincent K. Butler, Jr., '12, St. Ignatius Rhodes scholar to Oxford in his college days, is co-author of a 300 page book on the California tax law. The book is being widely advertised and will come off the press early in May. Student Donates Cup For Pres. Day Meet Lawrence Giubini of the Sophomore class has donated a cup for the track and filed meet to take place on President's Day next Wednesday. The cup, a silver loving award, will be awarded as the judges see fit, with no incumbrance attached thereto. Director Gill promises that "Quien Sabe" will be the most outstanding of all his efforts in directing Ignatian dramatics. "My thanks to Dr. Getti- gan will be expressed best when the curtain rises on 'Quien Sabe.' Nothing will be spared to make this the finest and most, outstanding of anything I have yet attempted at St. Ignatius." When one recalls the names of the plays already presented, Mr. Gill's statement means plenty. By Lawrence Horgan In the course of four act3 of his play entitled "The Enemy," put on last night in the Little Theatre under the direction of James J. Gill, Channing Pollock organizes most of the familiar follies of warfare and shapes them into a vigorous drama. "The real enemy," says one of the characters, "is hate." "If we are to have done once and for all with the eviis of militarism we must no longer attach glorious labels to legalized crime and we must make peace (not on parchment as the pacifist says in the final act, but also in the heart and the brain. He goes on more specifically. We have achieved ruin, revolution, famine, anarchy and hatred. A war for power has left exhaustion. A war for democracy has established ignorance and vulgarity. By virtue of previous achievements, Mr. Pollock has already established a reputation for writing plays in the variable mood of the stage. To this skill and practice be has added in "The Enemy," an obviously earnest 4?siro to tell ? ?tory that may hsv<> more than passing theatrical interest for the audience. Accordingly this drama recounts the stupidities of the great war through the mouths of easily recognizable types, the soldier, the wife, the alien enemy, the profiteer and the pacifist. In "The Enemy" he has told the familiar story from the Germans' point of view to show that to them also the war was a holy one for freedom and democracy, and that to them the word enemy represents the same aggression, cruelty and world ambition that it did for those on the other side." Practical Dramatist "Mr. Pollock, it has been said, is a practical dramatist, and by that sign "The Enemy" succeeded in making its various points. For at all times in the theatre as well as the outside, the mobilization of troops, the leave-takings, the suffering, the pain of death on the battlefields are moments of deep emotion. Mr. Pollock articulates his meaning throughout the play by well tried means and a capacity house greeted the players at each performance. The scenes of this drama are all laid in Professor Arndt's flat in Vienna, in June, 1914, August, 1914, March, 1917, June, 1917. In the course of the four acts the characters collected for a birthday festival at the rise of the curtain, go their several ways during the years of the war. Carl Behrend, promising young playwright, and Fritz Winckleman, a Vienna journalist, go to the battlefield for Germany. Bruce Gordon, an English student, joins his army at home on the other side.

Pilgrims dance in cosmic energy ritual in Bulgaria
Tsvetelia Tsolova
Followers of the Universal White Brotherhood, an esoteric society that combines Christianity and Indian mysticism set up by Bulgarian Peter Deunov in the 1920s, perform a dance-like ritual called "paneurhythmy" in Rila Mountain, Bulgaria, August 19, 2017. REUTERS/Stoyan Nenov (Reuters)
RILA MOUNTAINS, Bulgaria (Reuters) - Lilya Ivanova, a 29-year-old Bulgarian psychologist, glows with joy. She has just finished a ritual dance along with some 2,500 white-clad followers of the Universal White Brotherhood society next to a glacial lake, high in Bulgaria's Rila Mountains.
Every year devotees of the society, which combines a form of Christianity with Indian mysticism celebrate, their divine new year, which lasts three days from August 19.
The society was set up by Bulgarian spiritual teacher Peter Deunov in the 1920s. Deunov died in 1944 but followers continue to apply his teaching.
The society's name does not refer to ethnicity or race but to light and purity of the soul and the belief that all people can live in harmony, followers say.
The highlight of the celebration is "paneurhythmy," a ritual also known by Deunov's spiritual name, Beinsa Douno. It aims to help devotees link with cosmic energy.
"It is not just the dance, it is the celebration itself, the whole connection with nature, the whole blessing that streams from all of us, the feeling of being one," says Ivanova, who is also an astrologer.
"It is so beautiful that more and more people attend, especially to see parents dancing together with their small children. You feel harmony and love."
For about 80 minutes pilgrims move gracefully in concentric circles on a large meadow near Kidney lake 2,280 meters (7,480 feet) above sea level and some 90 km (56 miles) south from Sofia. They are accompanied by violins and choirs.
Banished under Communism, the pilgrims are now free to perform dances, prayers, meditations and exercises which they say help create peace and harmony in the world and enhance physical and mental health.
Many come from as far away as France, Canada, Italy, Ukraine and Russia to take part.
"I just need to come here because it's like the reset of the eleven other months of the year," said Pascale Husson, a retired Air France manager from France who has attended the celebrations since 2008.
There is "no telephone, no internet, nothing but a contact with nature, God and what is here, what you can see here," she said.

If you're taking the full two minutes to brush, you're likely to hit all of the surfaces of all of the teeth. Still, it makes sense to be sure. Concentrating on one quadrant of your mouth at a time, be sure to brush not only the biting surfaces, but also the surfaces closest to your cheek and closest to your palate or tongue. If you have any large spaces or are missing any teeth, get those in-between surfaces that you can reach with the toothbrush, too. In addition, be sure to brush the back surface of the last teeth in your mouth (usually the second molars, if your wisdom teeth have been extracted).
Use a soft-bristled brush that is the right size for your mouth, and replace it every three months or so. Not sure what the right size is? It should fit easily behind your last tooth and in the front corners of your upper and lower teeth. Also, you should be able to clean two or three teeth at a time with it. There are many different angles, bristle configurations and handles available, so choose what feels best in your hand and in your mouth. Double check to be sure that your toothpaste says that it's ADA approved and, unless you have been told otherwise by your dentist or doctor, that it has fluoride, which strengthens teeth and helps prevent cavities.
Of course, brushing is not the only thing you need to do to ensure good oral health. Be sure to floss, and make an appointment to see your dentist every six months (or sooner if there's a problem). Your dental hygienist can check your technique during your routine visits if you're not sure that you're brushing as effectively as you could be.

About Banneker Institute
Why Banneker?
The program and its name are a nod to Benjamin Banneker, a surveyor best known for accompanying Andrew Ellicott in his original land survey of what would become Washington, D.C. Banneker was also an accomplished astronomer, which drove the success of his series of almanacs. As a forefather to Black American contributions to science, his eminence has earned him the distinction of being the first professional astronomer in America.
We target undergraduate juniors from backgrounds historically marginalized from academia and the astronomical sciences in particular. While there is a preference for students of color, we welcome applications from students of all backgrounds. Our application review process considers historical injustices and the tendency for traditional application practices to reproduce racial disparities in academia.
Are there any restrictions on who can apply?
The only restrictions are on foreign nationals and year of graduation. Applicants must be an undergraduate (1) US citizen (or person with work authorization, including those with DACA status) and (2) must on track to graduate after completing our program.

As with the height of a worksheet row, the width of an individual column, or all columns, can be adjusted to better fit their content. Setting columns widths appropriately can greatly enhance the presentation of your data.
A column's width can range from of 0 (zero) to 255 characters using the standard font. A column that has its width set to 0 (zero) is hidden. The default column width is 8.43 characters. There are several methods to change the column width.
This method is most useful when you need to quickly set the width of a single column.
This method is most useful when you want to automatically fit the widest content of any cell in the column.
The resulting colum width may or may not be consistent with other columns.
This method is most useful when you know the exact width you desire.
You can also get to this point with a keyboard shortcut by pressing sequentially (don't hold keys down) the Alt, O, C, W keys. But this hardly seems like a "shortcut"!
Setting multiple columns to the same width is illustratedbelow.
All of the above methods can be applied to multiple columns. To do this, start by selecting your columns and then follow the same procedure as for a single column.
This will set the width for all columns in a worksheet but will not change the width of columns that have been previously set to a particular width prior to using this command.
Now all columns in this worksheet have a default width of 15 which, of course, can be further changed.
There are several ways to change the column width. It's matter of preference depending on how often you need to do this. The easiest method is generally method above whereby the column width is set to automatically fit the widest content in any of the cells in the selected column. If you need to set specific and consistent widths for your columns, any of the other methods are easy.


With the launch of the draft BREEAM 2018 New Construction manual last month, we will be examining a select number of credit issues in more detail to understand the proposed changes and potential implications of the criteria that could have a significant impact on the design and construction of a project.
We will be providing detailed credit examinations regularly prior to the end of the BRE's consultation period up to the end of Friday 3rd November 2017, to assist with informing consultation responses to the BRE.
Our first review looks into the 'Pol 02- Local Air Quality' credit.
This credit has been renamed and replaces the 'Pol 02- NOx Emissions' credit within the current BREEAM 2014 New Construction manual. The credit now awards up to two credits, which is down from the three credits available for the equivalent 2014 issue. The key aspect to note is the additional consideration toward minimising the impact on local air quality.
The credit requires all installed combustion plant provided for space heating and domestic hot water to be assessed in accordance with emissions labelling that will be required for all manufacturers in accordance with the upcoming EU Ecodesign Directive. Each combustion system must be assessed against the benchmarks set out within the manual for NOx, particulate matter and VOC emissions, dependant on the combustion technology of the plant and the fuel used.
This issue still considers nitrous oxide emissions (NOx) but it also takes into account VOC and particulate matter emissions from building services systems that could have a major impact on health and wellbeing. Varying thresholds for NOx emissions are now proposed, dependant on the development being within an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA).
Within the proposed 2018 Pol 02 credit issue, BRE now equates heating and hot water systems supplied by grid electricity to have zero emissions for this credit issue, as the focus is toward improving local air quality. This means if grid-electricity based systems, e.g. air source heat pump and electric calorifiers are providing the heating and hot water for the assessed development they will achieve the maximum number of credits for this issue by default. This is in contrast to the 2014 Pol 02 issue, where grid electric based systems were usually not able to gain any of these credits due to the resultant high NOx emissions based on the energy generation mix used. Schemes utilising Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems as part of an energy efficient services strategy by offsetting their electricity generation with heating and hot water generation may no longer be able to positively support this issue.
Where a number of systems are providing the space heating and hot water for the development, all systems would individually need to be reviewed against the relevant thresholds based on the system type. This differs significantly from the 2014 Pol 02 issue, where the average NOx emission levels could be calculated for a multiple systems service strategy, based on the heat output each system supplied. If multiple systems are likely to be used to improve the building's energy performance levels, this may offer a greater challenge to achieving the credits for this issue.
Furthermore, the benchmarks specifically for NOx emissions are much lower than the emissions set out within the current Pol 02 issue, especially for developments located in AQMA's. For example, a traditional gas boiler installed on a site in an AQMA to provide both heating and hot water would need to achieve a NOx level of less than or equal to 24 mg/kWh to gain the maximum no. of credits. If the site was located outside of an AQMA, a NOx level of less than or equal to 27 mg/kWh would need to be achieved. Comparatively the current BREEAM 2014 criteria would require a value of less than or equal to 40 mg/kWh to gain the maximum credits.
There are a number of products on the market that can achieve the proposed thresholds, however it may be more difficult for other system types to achieve the required levels if the technologies are not readily available. BRE do note this, and state that they have provided more challenging benchmarks for some technologies to incentivise the market to improve the performance of their products.
The next update will consider the assessment of Materials specified for a project within Mat 01: Environmental impacts from construction products – Building lifecycle assessment.

It has been a day for software surprises – first Microsoft joins the Linux Foundation, and now Google is joining the Technical Steering Group of the .NET Foundation.
"Google is already an active contributor to .NET, including heavy involvement in the ECMA [European Computer Manufacturers Association] specification for C#. Joining the Technical Steering Group for the .NET Foundation expands our participation," said Chris Sells, product manager for Google Cloud.
"We're excited to work with the industry to contribute to .NET as an excellent open platform for developers in the enterprise."
Sells said that Google has a long record of having .NET libraries for more than 200 of its cloud services, and it recently added native GCP support for Visual Studio and PowerShell. The firm is looking to do a lot more to support .NET in the future, he promised.
For its part, the foundation said that Google had been one of the most active contributors to .NET projects over the last couple of years, and had been key in getting ECMA Standardization process for C# and resolving other issues.

Valentin Aleksandrovitj Serov (ryska: Валентин Александрович Серов), född 19 januari 1865 i Sankt Petersburg, död 5 december 1911 i Moskva, var en rysk konstnär. Han var son till tonsättaren Aleksandr Serov.

Serov studerade vid konstakademien i Sankt Petersburg, för Ilja Repin och för tyske gravören Johann Karl Köpping. Serov målade historiska bilder, såsom Peter den store med sin gemål till häst (1901), Peter den store på jakt i ett snölandskap (1902), Peter i Monplaisir. Han var dock mest framstående i sina porträtt, där personen ofta är framställd i friluft eller i en interiör. Bland hans porträtt märks Nikolaus II (1900), storfurst Paul, prinsessan Lieven och många andra dambilder, bland dem fru von Dervise med sitt barn (förekom 1914 på Baltiska utställningen, där Serov var representerad av 39 nummer). Han målade även djur och landskapsstämningar.

This year I arranged for our club to have a Cherry Blossom Tour at the Tidal Basin during the Cherry Blossom Festival. Usually, by this time of the year frost has nipped the cherry blossoms off the trees, and the wind is unbearable. But this year the wind wasn't freezing, and there were plenty of beautiful cherry blossoms to see. The day that I picked for our group was during the day of the Kite Festival.
I met my group at Noon, and we first sat down on benches near the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial gift shop. A few of us went shopping, while the rest of us ate our lunch. It was quite fun sitting around eating the food that we brought from home.
We next went to see the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. We were lucky enough to find a Park Ranger whom filled us in about the memorial. She mentioned that around this time Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial has an anniversary. And, just by accident the cherry trees bloom at the same time of the anniversary.
The Franklin Roosevelt Memorial is designed to give a feel that you are outdoors in the natural surroundings. Of course, one of our members had to stand in line for a photo. Roosevelt was the first to use the radio for a weekly address to the nation. He also supported America's with disabilities. He helped establish the American's with Disabilities Act. Hence you will see a sculpture showing different sign language.
We stopped by George Mason Memorial that I always forget is along the tidal basin. George Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which inspired Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. The fountain is off so there is just a big large dry pit. No one has planted anything around the memorial in a very long time. The ground has grey patches. The lettering on the benches have been either chiseled off or faded off. I personally like this memorial, but I hate how the National Park Foundation neglects it.
This memorial allows for grand vistas of the Cherry Blossoms, and the Washington Monument. You can just sit on the steps, and see everything. We just got to the steps just in time to have our Blossom Tour of the Cherry Blossoms on the Tidal Basin. Our Park Ranger told us that there are two types of Cherry Trees that bloom at different times, their flower bloom season overlaps each other. This year the trees that bloom later hadn't come out yet so there were green patches. We began our tour with a history of the Tidal Basin. Originally, the area was swamp, mosquito filled, and a sewer dump. It wasn't until the 1900's McMillan Plan that the swamp was dredged and a Tidal Basin was constructed. If you are sitting on the steps of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the doors on your left open in the morning to bring in new water. In the evening, the doors on the right open to let out water.
Next, we talked about how the Cherry Trees were planted. First Lady Helen Taft fell in love with the Cherry Trees, and became friends with the Japanese Emperor. The Japanese Emperor gift the American Government with 3,000 Cherry trees. When they opened the boxes of Cherry Trees the trees were decayed, molded, and beetle infested. They decided to burn the majority of the decayed Cherry Trees on the mall in a bonfire. Of course, this was very exciting for everyone, and they sold tickets to the event. Hotel room pricing went up. Because of this horticulture error, the Japanese felt very badly that the trees were in such poor shape. They eventually sent another 3,000 trees to America. This time the trees were good, and planted throughout the tidal basin and mall.
After our Blossom Tour, we were all well rested. And, we ended our day at the Cherry Blossom Kite Festival. Even though the sun was behind the clouds, the wind was perfect for kites. We enjoyed watching the different kite sizes fly in the sky.

The CJEU Gives its Green Light for the Conditionality Regulation
Beatrice Monciunskaite (DCU) & Niels Kirst (DCU)
February 16th marked the day of a seminal judgement for the European Union (EU). The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) affirmed the legality of Regulation 2020/2092 – the Conditionality Regulation. The judgement was anticipated by many observers of the EU's rule of law crisis, as the Regulation could be crucial in solving the rule of law impasse in Poland & Hungary. The Regulation in question was enacted in January 2020 by the Council of the European Union (Council) and the European Parliament (EP) to protect the Union budget against rule of law deficiencies in the Member States. It would give the Union a tool to cut EU funding towards Member States. Following the simple formula: if you don't respect the rules, you don't get the money. The proceeding itself was widely followed and held in full court, with many Member States participating in the oral hearing. The CJEU, in its ruling, affirmed the legality of the Conditionality Regulation and rejected the arguments of Poland & Hungary.
The CJEU Ruling
The Legal Basis of the Regulation
Poland and Hungary both challenged the budgetary legal basis of the Regulation on the grounds that it was insufficient to enact a financial Conditionality Regulation aimed at penalizing breaches of the rule of law. The Court rejected those arguments and instead followed the argumentation by the Council, in so far as it regarded the criteria of a sufficiently direct link to the budget as adequate to distinguishing the Regulation as a budgetary instrument. Thus, the Regulation is not to "penalize breaches of the rule of law as such" but rather to ensure that the budget is implemented accordingly to the value of the rule of law.
Further, the Court highlights that the Union must be able to defend the values on which it is based. Most importantly, the Court highlighted that "compliance with those values cannot be reduced to an obligation which a candidate State must meet in order to accede to the European Union and which it may disregard after accession." The Court, therefore, affirmed that the Union may take action – in the present case in the form of financial conditionality – to safeguard compliance with the Copenhagen criteria even after a Member State has acceded to the EU.
Finally, the Court highlighted that the Union budget is one of the main instruments giving effect to the principle of solidarity in the EU. The implementation of that principle, through the Union's budget, would be seriously undermined if breaches of the rule of law are committed in a Member States when utilizing EU funds. Therefore, and to uphold the objectives pursued by the Union, a horizontal Conditionality Regulation "is capable of falling within the power conferred by the Treaties on the European Union to establish "financial rules" relating to the implementation of the Union budget."
Compatibility of the Regulation with the Article 7 Procedure
An additional complaint was that the Conditionality Regulation circumvents the Art. 7 TEU procedure. The complaint by Hungary & Poland aimed towards a demonstration that the Union acted outside its competence and created a parallel mechanism to Art. 7 TEU. However, the Court rejected that argument and highlighted that both procedures have different aims, functions and themes. While Art. 7 TEU aims to penalise breaches of the values of the EU, Regulation 2020/2092 aims to protect the Union budget. Finally, the Court stressed that the supervision function of the Union via this instrument extends only to situations in which the Member State implements EU budget. Therefore, the Regulation does "not go beyond the limits of the powers conferred on the European Union."
Compatibility with the Principles of National Identity and Equality between Member States
Both Hungary and Poland claimed that the Conditionality Regulation violates the equality of Member States under Article 4(2) TEU. Most notably, Poland argued that the Regulation would infringe on the principle of equal treatment of Member States, as smaller and medium-sized Member States would be disadvantaged compared with larger States during the Regulation's voting process. They claimed that such an inequity arises as the measures under the Regulation must be passed by a qualified majority of the Council, i.e., at least 15 Member States representing at least 65% of the EU's population.
However, the CJEU dismissed the challenge by distinguishing between the legitimacy of qualified majority voting for the adoption of normative acts which affect all Member States and penalizing measures affecting one State. In line with the AG's reasoning, the Court noted that Article 16 TEU, which establishes qualified majority voting as the standard in Council proceedings, is not specific to the procedure established in the Regulation and is "fully compatible with the choices made by the authors of the Treaties.".
Objections to the Principle of Legal Certainty and Proportionality
Both applicant states raised several concerns regarding the Regulation's compliance with the principle of legal certainty. Most notably, the Polish Government disputed the Regulation's proposed definition of the rule of law in Article 2(a) of the Regulation. They argued that as a matter of principle, it is inappropriate for the Regulation to bind Member States to a universal definition of the rule of law as the precise definition of this concept can differ from state to state. Furthermore, The Polish Government argued that Article 2(a) of the Regulation unduly extends the scope of the rule of law value under Article 2 TEU. Here, the Polish Government insisted on a shallow definition of the rule of law and was eager to prevent a thicker formulation of this EU value from emerging.
However, the Court rejected this view and reiterated that Article 2(a) of the Regulation is not intended to "define that concept exhaustively" but is limited to the Regulation with the purpose of protecting the Union budget. Furthermore, the Court stated that the principles listed in Article 2(a) do not overstep the limits of the rule of law definition, as these principles are axiomatic to the understanding of the rule of law. The Court explained that "[…] it is clear that a Member State whose society is characterised by discrimination cannot be regarded as ensuring respect for the rule of law, within the meaning of that common value". This statement undoubtedly implies that the current discriminatory policies adopted by both Poland and Hungary are undeniably contrary to the value of the rule of law.
The Future for the Conditionality Regulation
In a written press release that was published directly after the judgement, Commission President von der Leyen welcomed it, but with tempered enthusiasm. In her statement, she stressed that the Commission will carefully analyse the judgement and, in the following weeks, adopt guidelines on the application of the Regulation. Therefore, one can expect that the first application of the Regulation remains distant. Months may go by before the first implementing decisions – the legal instrument prescribed by the Regulation – will be adopted by the Council. Judging by the past speed of the Commission in applying the Regulation, it might take another year for action to be taken.
However, the Commission might not be aiming for a direct application of the Regulation. Another aim of the Commission could be to erect a credible deterrent mechanism that will influence the behaviour of the Member States in question. In fact, financial sanctions are already in place against Poland for the non-implementation of CJEU judgements and the Commission is already deducting those financial fines from the payments to the Member State. Finally, there are elections coming up in Hungary in April 2022. It is a difficult question to decide in Berlaymont if the Commission wants to push forward with this new tool, or rather to wait (and hope) for a new government in Budapest.
Additionally, if a case against a Member State is brought, it is certain that the Member State in question will use all available means to challenge these implementing decisions. First, the Member State may trigger Recital 26 of the Regulation and request the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, to discuss the matter at the next European Council Summit. This process may take up to three months. Second, and as soon as the implementing decision is adopted, the concerned Member State may use legal means to challenge it before the CJEU. While such a legal proceeding would not have a suspensory effect, it would nevertheless undermine the effectiveness of the Regulation to a certain extent.
In conclusion, much will depend on Commission President von der Leyen, what she has in mind and how she wants to proceed with the Regulation. It is evident that the Commission is now under immense pressure from the main political groups of the EP to make use of the Regulation without further delay. No doubt, a potential court battle on this very issue between the EP and the Commission will heavily influence Commission President von der Leyen's next move. However, If the past is any guidance, it will take more months before the Regulation is applied, if it is applied at all.

In Big Win for Sununu, N.H. Lawmakers Pass $11.7 Billion Budget, 'Keno-garten'
New Hampshire Public Radio | By Josh Rogers
Josh Rogers for NHPR
Governor Chris Sununu celebrates the passage of the budget with Republican lawmakers
The GOP-led legislature is sending Governor Chris Sununu a $11.7B dollar budget and a bill to fund full-day kindergarten via Keno.
The outcomes are big wins for a governor who hasn't always gotten his way with the legislature.
The cheering and backslapping started midday, after the budget votes. And when the Governor Sununu welcomed lawmakers into the Executive Council chambers, all were quick to claim a victory, particularly the governor.
"Absolutely a big win, a big win for New Hampshire - people sent us to Concord to get a job done and we did it. And we did it the right way, we brought folks in and we listened and we talked, we kept working it the best we could and we came out with what I think is incredible progress for the state of New Hampshire."
The margins on the budget and kindergarten votes ended up being wider than most expected. And that's because Republicans stuck together.
In the house, where conservatives sank a budget in April, fewer than one in ten Republicans opposed it.
Speaker Shawn Jasper said that result could not have happened without help from the senate and the corner office.
"There is no doubt in my mind that we would have not crossed the finish line as we did today without his efforts. He was fully committed to making sure this budget passed."
That commitment can be seen in the product.
This budget is leaner than those proposed by house and senate and threw more bones to conservatives than did earlier versions.
Among other things, there were fresh business tax cuts, and language codifying existing restrictions barring the use of public money for abortions.
Victoria Sullivan, a member of the House Freedom Caucus who had voted against the budget in April says the tweaks made a difference to her and to other conservatives.
"A lot of us have concerns. However, in the end the majority felt confident in the changes that were made and things that we are able to bring to the taxpayers, I think the the long run are going to be beneficial to the state."
But Democrats, even those who concede the budget marks a political win for the governor, are quick to note the tradeoffs Sununu accepted carry risk.
Lou D'Allesandro is the ranking democratic budget writer in the senate.
"He had to move the majority, particularly in the house. Will we pay a price for that in the next two years? It's anybody's guess but I think we are always open to lawsuits when we underfund."
Yet the biggest takeaway on this day – politically and perhaps policy-wise - may be kindergarten.
Sununu called for full-day kindergarten in his budget, and stuck with it after house Republicans first stripped it from their budget, then embraced it after the senate passed it as a standalone bill.
Along the way, Sununu reached out to all comers and stayed flexible when the policy and funding levels bounced around, and then ended up tied to Keno.
His backing was what drove senate Republicans to adopt the video lottery game, which the senate has opposed for years. Senate president Chuck Morse has led that opposition but backed KENO and kindergarten today.
"It's a big day for the governor. He had initiatives. He wanted to make sure we moved forward on them. We certainly wanted to make sure we moved the economy, and it's a good day."
A day Republicans at the State House showed they can work together.

Night Gallery is an American anthology series that aired on NBC from 1970 to 1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre. Rod Serling, who had gained fame from an earlier series, The Twilight Zone, served both as the on-air host of Night Gallery and as a major contributor of scripts, although he did not have the same control of content and tone as he had on The Twilight Zone. Serling viewed Night Gallery as a logical extension of The Twilight Zone, but while both series shared an interest in thought-provoking dark fantasy, the lion's share of Zone's offerings were science fiction while Night Gallery focused on horror and the supernatural. ... more on Wikipedia

Activated protein C concentrate for the treatment of meningococcal endotoxin shock in rabbits

Pediatrics - Emergency Medicine
To evaluate the effects of activated protein C therapy in a rabbit model of meningococcal endotoxin-induced shock, we performed a prospective, blinded, placebo-controlled animal trial. Forty New Zealand White rabbits were challenged with intravenous meningococcal endotoxin (lipooligosaccharide) 100 μg/kg. Ten minutes before endotoxin challenge, animals were administered either activated protein C 1600 μg/mL (n = 20) or an equal volume of saline (n = 20) as an initial bolus. After endotoxin challenge, activated protein C treated animals were administered a continuous infusion of activated protein C 160 μg/kg/h and saline-treated animals were administered an equal volume infusion of saline. Both activated protein C treated and saline control animals demonstrated evidence of shock after endotoxin challenge; mean arterial pressure and serum bicarbonate significantly (p < .01) declined, and heart rate significantly (p < .01) increased from baseline. In activated protein C treated animals, mean plasma activated protein C activity was 5.69 μg/mL (± 3.2) 1 h after challenge, whereas plasma protein C activity was not detected in controls. Mean prothrombin and activated partial thromboplastin times were significantly (p ≤ .01) prolonged compared with saline-treated controls. Other hematologic and chemical measurements did not differ between groups. Fifteen of 20 (75%) animals treated with activated protein C concentrate survived to 24 h, while 9 of 20 (45%) control animals survived to 24 h (p = .05). Those animals treated with activated protein C had improved survival, which corroborates the findings of early clinical studies in which replacement of protein C improved outcome.
