A young sheriff and a hardened killer form an uneasy and complicated bond in this mesmerizing first novel set on the plains of Montana. Steeped in a lonesome Montana landscape as unyielding and raw as it is beautiful, Kim Zupan's The Ploughmen is a new classic in the literature of the American West. At the center of this searing fever-dream of a novel are two men—a killer awaiting trial and a troubled young deputy—sitting across from each other in the dark, talking through the bars of a county jail cell: John Gload, so brutally adept at his craft that only now, at the age of seventy-seven, has he faced the prospect of long-term incarceration, and Valentine Millimaki, low man in the Copper County Sheriff's Department, who draws the overnight shift after Gload's arrest. With a disintegrating marriage further collapsing under the strain of his night duty, Millimaki finds himself seeking counsel from a man whose troubled past shares something essential with his own. Their uneasy friendship takes a startling turn with a brazen act of violence that yokes together the two haunted souls by the secrets they share—and by the rugged country that keeps them.

"Kim Zupan has captured the feel of Montana: he has made a fine beginning." —Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lonesome Dove
"A terrific debut novel that evokes its western landscape with gorgeous prose, The Ploughmen is a powerful and at times painful story." —Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author
"Mr. Zupan produces pleasurably lush and baroque prose, especially when describing his setting's awesome and unforgiving topography." —Wall Street Journal
"Set in northern Montana, the novel presents a powerful and implacable landscape, all dry soil and fractured river breaks…The book features plenty of suspense. What it offers in addition are Zupan's considerable skills with description and mood…A dark and imaginative debut." —New York Times Book Review
"Passionately arresting…Even though Zupan's novel deals with grim topics, he plows the depths of grief and numbness with such a concentrated dedication that the prose is a character in itself. His sentences are unleashed in a furious splendor…Bleak and brilliant—the best kind of book." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Stunning…A remarkable novel…It's a portrait of the West as a sometimes desolate and cold place, full of possibility, maybe, but also full of danger from every corner. It's a modern West, caught between the romance of the frontier and the mundane, harsh realities of living in the present day United States. And it's absolutely beautiful, from its tragic opening scene to its tough, necessary end. Zupan is an unsparing writer but also a generous, deeply compassionate one." —NPR
"The expansive, indifferent, and lonely landscapes that populate the book are as vital as the two main characters and elevate Mr. Zupan's work from a story about an unlikely friendship to a solemn exploration of the human soul—and how it is formed by the space that surrounds it." —Pittsburg Post-Gazette
"A startlingly beautiful debut novel from a talented craftsman…Spare and emotionally devastating, this cannot be recommended highly enough." —Library Journal
"Nuanced…fascinating…What Zupan offers is a superb, retro prose style, channeling William Faulkner in long passages engorged with vocabulary, and meditations on what it means to be alive, if barely, in rural Montana circa 1980…A rich, morose meditation on death, law enforcement, and friendship." —Booklist
"Jim Meskimen gives a stellar performance in narrating this audiobook gem…Meskimen's versatile baritone has a gravelly quality that matches the vast Montana landscapes described by the author and the story's dark subject matter. His performance of the narrative sections is clear, with his tempo adding to the impact of each word. Each character has a unique and credible voice that is consistent throughout the performance. The discussions between Millimaki and Gload on life, death, and their attachment to the land are a splendid match of voice and text." —AudioFile
"A stunning work from the first pages to the last." —Claire Davis, author of Winter Range
"Kim Zupan's The Ploughmen is one of the finest evocations of life in Western America in recent memory, a book that stands alongside Richard Ford's Rock Springs, Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping, James Welch's Fools Crow…Reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy at his best." —William Kittredge, author of Hole in the Sky
"Simply splendid; lyrical, surprising, authoritative, and starkly honest in its rendering of the human soul." —Mark Spragg, author of An Unfinished Life
"As good a book as I've read in years. Luminous…nothing short of brilliant…a first novel that leaves me impatient for the next." —Rick DeMarinis, author of The Year of the Zinc Penny

Destined for a huge following.
As a first novel, this work takes on the eerie nature of good and evil with a style of storytelling that at times transcends the boundaries of fear and enters the darker realm of demonic control. The tale follows the complex personalities and unique needs of two men traveling the rural Montana lands in 1980. At times, a sense of sustained remoteness permeates the listener who might think he or she is suspended in a dream as Jim Meskimen uses his down-to-earth narrative quality to enhance the Zupan text that is at all times fresh and void of cliché. A suspenseful journey into violence and horror destined to garner a huge following. – Odin Roark

For those of you who want a little extra enjoyment out of your Living Succulent Dreamcatcheres, we put together this tutorial show you how to take it apart and replant your succulents!
1. Gently remove the succulents from the wreath. Use the scissors to cut any wires holding them in place. Pull off any dead leaves or glue that remain on the stem. Any healthy leaves that come off can be saved for propagation!
2. Place your cuttings in a pot of pre-mixed cactus soil. (Or make your own by mixing equal parts potting soil and pumice.) If the hanging succulents have roots, gently tuck them into the soil, otherwise carefully remove 3 to 4 pearls from the top of the stem and stick in the soil, or simply place them on the soil and they should develop roots on their own!
3. Place your pot in a bright location but avoid direct sunlight! Since these plants have been indoors they will burn easily. After a few weeks, you can gradually introduce them to sunlight. Just don't rush it, a few hours in the morning to start is plenty!
4. Wait a day or two to water. Water thoroughly then allow the soil to dry out before watering again. In the right conditions, roots will start to sprout and even single leaves can be placed in the soil and propagated!


More capable, feature-rich smartphones are finding their ways into more consumers' pockets, and for TV broadcasters, this means everyone's carrying a potential television set with them everywhere they go. It's an opportunity many are latching onto -- local broadcasters are working to bring mobile digital television to mobile devices.
"Nine broadcasters in the Washington, D.C., market have signed on the air with mobile digital television," Dave Arland, spokesperson for the Open Mobile Video Coalition, told the E-Commerce Times. "Broadcasters in several other markets have begun to transmit in the new format."
Meanwhile, a mobile digital TV standard optimized for viewing on small screens has been approved, IBM (NYSE: IBM) is offering a digital media platform, and Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) is adopting content protection for streaming video.
Local broadcasters are hoping they can break into the burgeoning mobile ad market with mobile digital TV. However, it's not clear how rapidly demand for TV on mobile devices will pick up.
Right now, online TV is the trend local broadcasters are worried about. Consumers are inching toward watching television programs online instead of over cable networks, according to a survey conducted by Retrevo recently.
Youth dominated -- 23 percent of the respondents under 25 and 8 percent of those over 25 who responded to the survey watch most of their TV programming online. Further, 15 percent of the respondents said higher cable and satellite prices would make them watch all their TV shows online, and 26 percent of respondents have canceled, or considered canceling, their cable or satellite service.
However, 57 percent of the respondents said they would stick to their cable or satellite services.
"Will people move towards online video consumption? Yes, without a doubt," Ben Piper, director of multiplay market dynamics at Strategy Analytics, told the E-Commerce Times. "Will it be at the expense of traditional managed pay TV services? Probably not in the near term," he added.
"People will increasingly leverage the convenience of the Internet to bring premium content with them on the go, but they will still primarily be interested in watching content on their TVs," Jan Steenkamp, vice president of the Americas at Irdeto, told the E-Commerce Times. "I think it will be some time before we see consumers completely abandon their TVs."
Perhaps the move toward digital mobile TV is even farther away.
"Mobile TV as it currently exists is an anachronism," contends Josh Martin, a senior analyst at Strategy Analytics. That's because mobile TV services simply broadcast content.
This is an outdated approach, Martin pointed out.
"Consumers want bits of relevant content when the opportunity affords," Martin explained. "They don't want to be spoon-fed something that's currently being broadcast simply because they have some down time."
If consumers are moving so slowly toward online TV and mobile digital TV, why are local broadcasters concerned?
They are working to launch mobile TV services. So far, 45 local stations, including Detroit's WDIV and WXYZ, have begun mobile DTV broadcasts.
The Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC), an association of TV broadcasters pushing the development of mobile digital TV in the United States, will hold a consumer showcase in May in Washington, D.C.
This will demo TV broadcasts on various mobile devices, including the Tivizen from Valups. This is an accessory that lets owners receive local TV broadcasts on their iPads, iPhones, laptops or BlackBerries with WiFi features. Think of it as a router for your smartphone. It will be available on Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) and eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) for US$149 in May.
Development of the Tivizen was partially funded by the OMVC, which has 27 members, including the Association of Public Television Stations, the corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Public Broadcasting Service and Fox Television Stations.
Perhaps local broadcasters are clambering onto the mobile DTV bandwagon because they fear being hammered by the Internet as the newspaper and recording industries were. "Forward-thinking service providers have largely embraced the Internet and have realized it is the content, not the network that ultimately matters to consumers," Strategy Analytics' Piper said.
Also, they are banking on the next generation of consumers. OMVC's Arland said a national online survey conducted by Magid Media Labs last fall indicated many young adults said their viewing of local and national news would double if they could watch TV on a device they could carry with them.
Increasingly, consumers want to have their content ready to hand -- a recent IBM study found that more than 40 percent of consumers want to share content between various devices. In response, IBM unveiled a new software platform, the IBM Media Enterprise Framework, in April. This will help content vendors develop, distribute and market content to a mobile, interconnected audience.
Meanwhile, Netflix has signed up Irdeto to provide content protection for the TV episodes and moves it streams out over the Internet.
Will consumers be able to watch digital TV on the relatively small screens of their smartphones? Yes, the OMVC's Arland told the E-Commerce Times. A new standard for digital mobile TV approved by the Advanced Television Systems Committee last October is optimized for small-screen viewing, he said.
"The signals look best on a screen from two to three inches in size to one about 10 inches," Arland explained. "That's roughly the size of a laptop or iPad screen."
However, OMVC's research shows that the biggest opportunity for mobile DTV may be in laptop and netbook computers. "Consumers say they would appreciate the flexibility and functionality of mobile DTV on a device they already own, like a laptop," Arland said.
It might be quite awhile before mobile DTV becomes widespread. "For the time being, streaming local broadcast is more efficient on the Internet," Irdeto's Steenkamp said.
Right now, the Tivizen may be more of a novelty than a useful device, Strategy Analytics' Martin said. "It will hit the market with a thud," he predicted. "The cost of the hardware, the fact that it's an accessory, and the lack of on-demand content make it a non-compelling option."
Over time, though, things may change. "Eventually we'll reach the point where a person can start watching a soccer game on his TV in the living room then continue watching it on his mobile phone when he goes out shopping," Steenkamp said.


Modern, intensive agriculture tends to leave little in the way of food and shelter for wildlife. A large, un-hedged field of arable crops, sprayed with pesticides, is a virtual desert to insects, birds and wildflowers. However, all is not lost and, especially with new agri-environment grant schemes, things have been improving in recent years.
Around the field margins, trees, hedges and unsprayed headlands (field verges) can be oases of wildlife. Food such as black berries and elder berries are available for birds and small mammals. Birds nest in hedges and larger broadleaf trees. Foxes, stoats, owls and kestrels hunt for voles and mice along the hedge bottom and grass headland. Where farmers leave the field margins unsprayed with pesticides wildflowers often abound, providing pollen and nectar for butterflies and bumblebees; and slugs, snails and insects provide food for hedgehogs and badgers.
Natural England run a Stewardship grant scheme (Entry- and Higher Level) which encourages landowners to practise wildlife friendly farming, including less use of artificial chemicals and proper maintenance of hedges, dry stone walls, meadows and the like. As uptake of these grants increases, the countryside as a whole becomes a better place for our native species of plants and animals.
Old farm buildings are often important for wildlife, too. Barn owls, as the name suggests, favour such sites for nesting, as do many species of bat. Birds like robins, swallows, pied wagtails and house martins also nest in quiet farm buildings with lots of nooks and crannies where they can rear their young in peace. When such buildings are found near woodland, species-rich meadows and hedgerows of the type described above, these birds, and others like them, will thrive. Natural Englands Stewardship schemes help to fund the retention and conservation of these man-made features.
In the fields themselves, we find an array of bird, mammal, insect and plant life. Pasture land can be of particularly high value for biodiversity. In instances where the fields have been pasture for many years, or cropped for hay, we often find a wide range of wildflowers e.g. poppy, buttercup, forget-me-not, knapweed, speedwell, daisy, clover, field pansy, cowslip supporting butterflies, beetles and bees, with hoverflies, swallows, house martins and swifts feeding on mosquitoes, midges and other small flying insects. The predators mentioned above will hunt for food here as well as along field margins. There will be rabbit warrens in the hedge bottoms and pasture, and hares will range far and wide across the open fields. Where farmers restrict their use of chemicals and maintain their hedges, woods and headlands etc., with help from grant schemes, this coexistence of wildlife and agriculture is possible and increasingly common. There is, however, still a long way to go.

The Raikage talks to Tsunade about the brothers, and tells her how they were two of the most feared criminals in the Hidden Cloud and how they left the Second Hokage on the verge of death. He tells her that Kinkaku and Ginkaku use the weapons used by Sage of the Six Paths and that they are filled with the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra. Meanwhile on the coastline, Samui and the Atsui come to Darui to help him fight the brothers. Kinkaku and Ginkaku use their ninja tools: the Kokinjo (which draws the spirit word out), the Shichiseiken (which curses the spirit word), the Benihisago (which records the spirit word and seals the speaker within), and the Bashosen (which conjures chakra of all 5 natures). They succeed in capturing and sealing Atsui and Samui within the Benihisago. Darui then is almost drawn into the Benihisago, but before he is his spirit word changes. Then he takes the ninja tools from them and uses the tools to trap Ginkaku inside the Benihisago. Kinkaku gets angry and releases his Nine-Tails chakra, draping him in a chakra shroud just like Naruto's.


Why Are My Plugins Not Showing In My Dashboard?
A common complaint about WordPress is that after uploading plugins to your server they do not show up in WordPress. But what is really going on?
– Make sure you're uploading to the correct folder. This should be wp-content/plugins.
– Make sure the files have uploaded. There should be no Failed Transfers listed in Filezilla and you can see the files on your server.
– Make sure the plugin is not in a zip folder. Most plugins are downloaded zipped, you need to upzip the zip folder contents before uploading.
– Make sure there are some files in the top level folder. Some plugins have a folder, then inside that no files, just another folder. WordPress will not see these files if there is no file in the top level folder.
Then to avoid these issues you can use the inbuilt plugin uploader. Go to Plugins > Add New. There you can search for a plugin and if it's in the WordPress repository you can install it then and there. If not you can upload the zip file from the site you have downloaded it from and it will install that for you.
Hopefully the next version of WordPress will allow a similar action for installing new WordPress Themes, as it's a great feature to avoid the frustration many bloggers have with installing plugins.

Help! My Website Is Down!
I hear that familiar cry a couple of times a week. Sometimes followed by "what have you done?!". Normally, nothing – it's just your server, your connection or local server, or the internet itself.
There are a couple of great tools you can use to see what is happening with your site.
Down For Everyone Or Just Me? lets you know whether the problem is for everyone, or just you. If it is down for everyone then there's a bigger problem.
Ding! It's Up! will send you an email/SMS/Twitter when the site you specify is up, or for that matter, down.
You should also check the status of your server through your host's tools if they have them. Also try to remember what the last thing you did was. If you were just writing a post and then it wasn't working, well there's a problem you haven't caused (probably), but if you were changing plugin settings or a theme template file then perhaps undoing that last step may bring your site back to life.

TV-talent show Afghan Star: Afghan singer looks like Justin Trudeau
Its Similarity with the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has made a poor Afghan wedding singer over night to become a celebrity in his country: The 29-year-old participants of the TV talent show "Afghan Star" has chances for victory, since a member of the Jury pointed out its Similarity to the attractive canadian DoppelgangeR.
"My name, have forgotten the people, you call me now 'Justin Trudeau," says Abdul Salam Maftun to the AFP news Agency. In doing so, he shows a shy Smile that revealed his gold-plated front teeth.The father of four children from the North-East Afghan province of Badakhshan, had heard prior to his participation in the talent show have never even heard of Justin Trudeau. "I knew nothing of him until I photos in the social network saw," says Maftun. Thanks to her Similarity to his victory but has increased opportunities for "Afghan Star" to 50 percent.
shared Actual photos of the uneven DoppelgangeR, often on Facebook and commented. A user voice of "Trudeaus lost twin," another wish "that our Trudeau wins Afghan Star". Next Thursday the next round, and Maftun has a good chance with the viewers, whose votes are crucial. The final round is on 21. March.
The Similarity of the wedding singer with the canadian head of government was first noticed one of the four judges on the talent show. "He looks like my Prime Minister," said the Canada-based singer-songwriter Kai Ulfat. He praised at the same time, the voice of the 29-year-old participant, whose Repertoire is far from romantic Afghan folk songs. And immediately found another comparison: "This man could be the next Justin Bieber".

One sent to hospital following car accident in Tolland
Sprinklers installed in home rebuilt after tragic fire
by: Tina Detelj
PLAINFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) — The home at 10 Winsor Avenue looks a little different than it used to.
It's being rebuilt by Habitat for Humanity after a tragic fire in September 2016 which claimed the life of a 6 year old girl.
Orange pipes can be seen throughout the Plainfield home. They're part of a state of the art sprinkler system being installed.Related:Officials release cause of death of girl killed in Plainfield fire
"So that vile right there and that would allow the water," explains Dino Tudisca the project supervisor with Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut. "That would let that valve pop open and then the water would hit the back of this and disperse and fan throughout the room."
In last year's fire girl's mother Jeanette Lawyea and her young son escaped the flames. They will move back in once the rebuild is complete.
"This is a different style home than the one that was here before. It has a different floor plan and a different look completely. We thought that was an important part of having the family return to this location," said Terri O'Rourke, executive director for Habitat for Humanity of Eastern Connecticut.
The change which may have the biggest impact could be the sprinkler system donated by K & M Fire Protection Services of Plantsville. A 400 hundred gallon tank sits in the basement in case it is needed.
"Yes absolutely," said O'Rourke. "A little sense of security."
Habitat hopes to have the home rebuilt by June hiding the pipes behind the new walls. Only the sprinkler head will be visible. One in each room.
"Once one head deploys that is the only head that's active until is suppressed unless the fire was able to continue down," said Tudisca.
Habitat for Humanity can't install a huge elaborate sprinkler system like this one in every home but volunteers are going to start putting in a smaller fire suppression system in the homes they build. It is called
Stovetop Firestop which uses two little canisters placed right above the stove. They deploy a fire suppressant during cooking fires.

Pole for DTM champion Bruno Spengler…
Spielberg. Reigning DTM champion Bruno Spengler (BMW) celebrated his maiden pole position of the season at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. In the final qualifying heat, the Canadian completed his lap at the 4.326 kilometres long track in the hills in 1:24.836 minutes. "One can never have enough pole positions. It was a great day with a great car. But this was only 50 percent of the work. The rest has to follow tomorrow," said Spengler, who will be starting from first place on the grid in the DTM for the 15th time in his career already.
Spengler's fellow BMW driver and DTM rookie Marco Wittmann sparked a surprise by claiming second place on the grid. The 23-year old German only came 0.111 seconds short of the fastest time. "This is awesome. It was only my third qualifying in DTM, and I will be in second place at the start already," Wittmann said.
Italian Edoardo Mortara eded up third. In 2012, the Audi driver had claimed pole position at Spielberg and then went on to win. "After my success from last year, third place on the grid is again a good result for me. In the first two races, things didn't go too well and I am happy that we now have found the speed," the 26-year old commented.
With his BMW M3 DTM, fourth-placed Augusto Farfus already made it into the final qualifying heat for the third consecutive time. The 2008 and 2009 DTM champion, Timo Scheider, claimed fifth place on the grid with his Audi RS 5 DTM ahead of fellow Audi driver Filipe Albuquerque.
Robert Wickens was the best-placed Mercedes-Benz driver in qualifying. The surprising third-placed from Brands Hatch will be starting seventh with his DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coupé. After qualifying, the Canadian said: "Unfortunately, I risked too much on my fast lap and I made a slight mistake. But in the DTM, that is already too much to be all the way at the top. Still, I am confident for the race, because the car is very good."
Points' leader Mike Rockenfeller ended up eighth in qualifying, but was dropped five positions on the grid as a penalty and will start from 13th place. In free practice, the Audi driver had disrespected a yellow flag and was penalised for it.
An overview of the tyre choice of each driver for the start of the race can be found at www.dtm.com in the evening. Drivers can choose between the standard tyre or the option tyre from series' partner Hankook, which can only be used during the race. The third season round covers 47 laps and 203.322 kilometres and will start on Sunday at 13.30 hrs. ARD is already broadcasting live from 13.15 hrs.

Mücke driver Felix Rosenqvist dominates at Red Bull Ring…
The 13th season round of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship saw Felix Rosenqvist (kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport) score an undisputed victory. At the 4.326 kilometres long Red Bull Ring in the Austrian province of Styria, he won the dash towards the first corner and then continuingly extended his lead. At the finish, the 21-year old Swede was 14.306 seconds clear of Daniil Kvyat (Carlin), who had started from pole position. For the Red Bull-backed junior driver, second place is his best result in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship to date. Third place was taken by 19-year old Briton Jordan King (Carlin), who celebrated his maiden podium finish in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship after a long battle with Lucas Wolf (URD Rennsport). Italian Raffaele Marciello (Prema Powerteam), a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, took the chequered flag in fourth place and remains in the lead of the drivers' standings. His margin over his main rival Felix Rosenqvist is 67.5 points.
While Felix Rosenqvist's victory was never in jeopardy throughout the 24 laps' race distance and guest driver Daniil Kvyat also safely drove second place home, Jordan King had to work considerably harder. For more than half of the race, the rookie driver was involved in a battle for third place with Lucas Wolf, with Wolf initially holding on to his position. The URD driver successfully defended his position against King until lap 16, but then had to let his rival past. Soon after that, Nicholas Latifi (Carlin) also moved ahead of Wolf, who went on to drop down further through the ranks. Due to a collision with Tom Blomqvist (Eurointernational), Wolf was also called in for a drive-through penalty and dropped to 16th place.
Raffaele Marciello, who had started from 13th place, had an equally busy day: in thrilling duels, the Italian worked his way up to fourth position. Behind him, Latifi took the chequered flag, followed by Sven Müller (ma-con), Alex Lynn (Prema Powerteam), Eddie Cheever (Prema Powerteam), Michael Lewis (kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport) and Lucas Auer (Prema Powerteam), the only Austrian in the field. Having spun after a collision in the early stages of the race, Auer had dropped down, but secured the final slot in the top ten after a spirited recovery.
Felix Rosenqvist (kfzteile24 Mücke Motorsport)
"My start was good and I was able to pull a gap right away. My car ran great throughout the race. After the rather poor start into the season at Monza, I reckon that we are now on the right way and meanwhile, we are able to keep up with Prema and Carlin as well."
Daniil Kvyat (Carlin)
"My start wasn't too bad, but Felix's was simply even better. Initially, I thought that I could keep up with him, but I didn't succeed. Thus, it was a rather boring race for me. Now, we have to see why we weren't able to follow Felix. But I think that second place is not too bad either."
Jordan King (Carlin)
"So far, my season has been rather disappointing, but being on the podium at last is nice. Lucas Wolf defended very heavily, so it took longer for me to finally overtake him. The battle with him was a close one and I enjoyed it very much."

After Seven Seasons, ABC's The Chew Co-Starring Michael Symon Will Cease Production
Emanuel Wallace Photo
Michael Symon speaking at 2016's Fabulous Food Show.
It's the end of the road for ABC's The Chew. After seven seasons, 1,454 episodes, multiple Emmy nominations and two Emmy Awards, the popular talk show will cease production at the end of this season, but will continue to air as planned until September. Of course, that popular show stars Cleveland chef Michael Symon, who cohosts with Carla Hall and Clinton Kelly.
Reached for comment while on a break from that very set, Symon confirmed that it was the end of the line for the show and said, "It was a great seven years and now it's time to move on."
ABC News announced that "Good Morning America" will expand to three hours, gobbling up the 1 p.m. EST timeslot that belonged to The Chew.
"Before 'The Chew,' no one had attempted a talk/food hybrid," show creator Gordon Elliott was quoted by ABC News as saying. "Our hosts Clinton, Carla and Michael and the staff created television history executing the show as well as they did for all these years. I know I speak for all of the people who work on the show when I say it was the best television we have ever had the privilege to produce"

Detroit — A New York City firm specializing in finding ways to create massive urban projects has begun analyzing how to revive Historic Fort Wayne, a long underused 96-acre site on the banks of the Detroit River.
HR&A Advisors Inc. was hired in late January for $235,000 by the state's Michigan Economic Development Corp., according to state officials. Its goal is to come up with a realistic plan to keep the fort's historic nature while finding some other new use: housing, office, industrial or possible cultural development.
"We hope a vision plan will be delivered by the end of the year, hopefully, well before the end of the year," said Andrew Doctoroff, a special projects adviser to Gov. Rick Snyder. "HR&A are not developers but land use experts. They visualize what is possible," Doctoroff said.
The feasibility study shows the state of Michigan is taking a more active role in shaping the future of the city-owned Fort Wayne. Because the site is on the federal National Register of Historic Places, the state has some jurisdiction because the state plays a role in preserving Michigan landmarks.
The military fort in southwest Detroit on West Jefferson Avenue was built between 1842 and 1851. The grounds also contain a Native American burial site dating back more than 1,000 years. Members of the New York firm visited Fort Wayne for the first time last week.
Another reason for finding a development plan is that Fort Wayne will be next to the planned International Trade Crossing, a new $2.1 billion bridge across the Detroit River. Recently, Canada said it will pay to build a $250 million to $300 million U.S. customs plaza for the new bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor. That new customs plaza is across the street from Fort Wayne. The bridge has a scheduled completion date of 2020.
Fort Wayne has gradually fallen into disrepair, with some of its 39 buildings decaying while grass grows on the roofs of others. The facility's upkeep is largely entrusted to a cadre of volunteers — the Historic Fort Wayne Coalition — who spend their time painting, repairing and cleaning the site.
"Right now, we only use a handful of the buildings," said James Conway, a city of Detroit employee, who is Fort Wayne's project manager and historian. The city controls 83 acres, including the original fort and a number of buildings. The remaining area is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as a boatyard.

Fort Wayne was built in anticipation of a British attack that never came. It's named in honor of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. During the Civil War, the fort was an induction center for 14,000 Michigan soldiers. It played an active role as an induction center for tens of thousands in all of America's wars until the Army discontinued its use in 1971 during the Vietnam War. At that point, the city of Detroit assumed full control of the site.
The New York firm HR&A specializes in coming up with strategies on how to turn around major public spaces. On its website it cites its role in forming the celebrated High Line in Manhattan, which is a greenway built on a former elevated rail line. It also played a role in London's 2012 Olympic Park, and helped developed a plan to overhaul a portion of downtown Cincinnati. HR&A didn't respond to interview requests.
The HR&A contract is the result of a request for proposals for the site issued by the state late last year. That request for proposal said any bid must "contemplate maintaining the historic integrity of Fort Wayne," according to the state document. It also states any possible redevelopment of the site could include traditional commercial real estate such as housing or retail, as well as "cultural development" or "logistics-related development." That last description refers to warehouse and other transportation-oriented businesses that would benefit from Fort Wayne's close proximity to the U.S.-Canada border.
A 2003 study of Fort Wayne estimated that it would cost at least $58 million to restore the site.

Ece Temelkuran – Deep Mountain; Fethiye Çetin – My Grandmother (book review)
[I've started writing book reviews for the Hürriyet Daily News blog. I'll be able to post them here a couple of weeks after they first appear on there (contractual yawn). This one went up on May 5, and can be found in original form here: http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/literary-reflections-on-the-armenian-issue.aspx?pageID=500&eid=16]
Ece Temelkuran – Deep Mountain: Across the Turkish-Armenian Divide, Verso, 2010, 288pp
Fethiye Çetin – My Grandmother, Verso, 2008, 144pp
There's a book, quite easily found in any reasonably-sized Istanbul bookshop, its name written in block capitals along the spine: 'Ermeni Dosyası' (The Armenian Dossier). Written by former Turkish diplomat Kamuran Gurun, and ominously subtitled 'The Myth of Innocence Exposed', it has been popular amongst Turkish readers ever since first being published in1983. Packed with imposing-looking graphs and statistics, its main thesis can be summarised thus: The numbers claimed by the Armenians as killed in the 'events' of 1915 is far too high and, in fact, Ottoman soldiers were themselves also killed in large numbers at the same time. In any case, the Armenian population was far from innocent, with large numbers rebelling against the empire and often colluding with the advancing Russian forces on the eastern Anatolian frontier. Essentially, the book implies, the Armenians got what they had coming to them. If you're interested, a new English-language print run of the book came out only two months ago. I haven't read it, nor do I ever intend to make that sacrifice, but – however questionable its scholarship – 'The Armenian Dossier' is unquestionably significant, if only because it represents what has been the official Turkish narrative for almost 100 years.
Encouragingly however, this isn't the only story on the shelves any more. While they still may not attract the sales figures of more flattering histories, voices dissenting from the official line are being increasingly heard in today's Turkey. Ece Temelkuran was once a columnist with daily newspaper Habertürk (ironically enough one of the mouthpieces of the nationalist establishment) and her 'Deep Mountain', published in English in 2010, is part of this new, questioning tendency.
Temelkuran set herself the ostensibly simple task of meeting Armenians, talking to them, listening to them, and reporting back for the Turkish audience. Eschewing the directly political, she preferred 'to write about Armenians, not necessarily what happened in 1915', and while this may seem like a modest undertaking to an outsider, in Turkey it was a brave and taboo-shaking exercise. Quite how perilous the path was can be judgedfrom the example ofthe Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, to whom Temelkuran dedicates the book. Dink decried the politics of megaphone slogans and foreign parliamentary writs on the issue, and instead spent years trying to get the two sides talking to each other honestly about their shared history and common trauma. He was assassinated for his troubles in 2007 by an ultra-nationalist Turkish gang, outside the Istanbul office of his newspaper. Dink's killing could have acted as either a spur to writing, or a warning against it, so – first and foremost – 'Deep Mountain' should be applauded as an act of bravery.
The book is divided into three parts, the first detailing Temelkuran's encounters with the Armenians of Armenia itself, and the other two her meetings with the Armenian Diaspora communities in Franceand the United States. The picture painted of Armenian capital Yerevan is of a cultured but impoverished city of feeble opportunities and feeble ambitions, still yet to recover from the end of the Soviet Union and now crippled by the closed (since 1993) border with Turkey. Whilst bitter enmity for Turks exists, the Armenian Armenians are perhaps most concerned with the practical matter of getting the border open again, and with it securing an economic lifeline. The French and American Armenians, however, have come to adopt the genocide as the essential, irreducible feature of what it means to be 'Armenian'. Meeting numerous community leaders, academics, artists, and businesspeople, Temelkuran describes the trajectory that emerges again and again in the Diaspora: How the first generation of Armenian migrants to Europe and America were most concerned with 'getting on' and fitting into the adopted culture, and how it is only with the second and third generation – threatened by the identity-engulfing vortex of a new homeland – that the genocide has been revisited and latched on to as an unshakable, almost pathological core.
As one of the Los Angeles Armenians revealingly says: 'you need to create an identity, something to hold on to both culturally and individually. Turkey's refusal to recognise the genocide is what binds those of us in the Diaspora. Were the genocide to be recognized, it would probably be the end of us'. Pain has become 'the pillar propping up the home', and to release that pillar means oblivion. Similarly, many Turks – afraid of losing their country and seeing recognition as threatening their own oblivion – cling just as fast to their own selective amnesia. In a striking phrase, the author at one point describes it as a 'huge industry. Not just politics and money; a psychological industry too, for both sides. An industry of anguish'. The most sympathetic portraits in the book are thus reserved for those who are able to understand this identity paralysis and rise above such acrimony, recognising the absurdity of an official political 'debate' that doesn't go much deeper than one side screaming 'It was genocide!' while the other responds 'No it wasn't!'
Perhaps inevitably, the book occasionally lapses into worthiness,though not nearly as often as you fear when you read the following meaningless fluff early on: 'If an Armenian were to lose their way one day anywhere in the world, they'd be able to locate the capital of Armenia by consulting the map of their heart. They would navigate toward it by reference to the coordinates of pride and fear, of mourning and loss'. Worse, when she moves on to Los Angeles, Temelkuran can't help butoffer a steady stream of unhelpful anti-American swipes. These come off as stale, predictable, and not a little immature (constant sneering about cigars and McDonalds, really?!) But these are minor criticisms, and should not detract from the more important qualities of a book that is sensitive, honest and 'engaged' in the best sense of the word.
Another modern voice with little time for the official Turkish narrative is Fethiye Çetin, a human rights lawyer currently representing the deceased's family in the grimly ongoing Hrant Dink case. Çetin spent her whole youth believing she was of 'pure' Turkish stock, until one day her aging grandmother, Seher, took her aside. Seher revealed that she had been born an Armenian Christian, originally named Heranuş, and was plucked from a death march in 1915 by a Turkish gendarme commander, who went on to raise her with his wife as a Muslim Turk. Translated into English in 2008, 'My Grandmother' is Çetin's elegiac description of this story.
The first section of the book contents itself with gentle, sepia-tinged descriptions of a rural upbringing with her family in the eastern Turkish province of Elazığ: her beautiful sisters; her grandfather, whose mood always depended on how full his stomach was; her grandmother, the charismatic matriarch of the family, powerful but taciturn, somehow never able to bring herself to sing, as if always harbouring the secret that would one day be revealed to Fethiye. The central revelation doesn't come until midway through the book, but when it does Çetin writes that what she heard 'did not fit with anything I knew. It turned the known world on its head, smashing my values into a thousand pieces'. Seher, or Heranuş, was one of the kılıç artığı, the 'leftovers of the sword' of that traumatic period; only one of her sisters was also spared, while the rest of the family – including uncles, aunts, cousins, and her mother – was killed. The second part of the novel consists of Çetin trying to digest this heritage, and also trying to forge a reunion of the two sides of a family which now – like so many Armenian families – is 'scattered like pomegranate seeds' across the world.
It's a quietly powerful book, modest but courageous. There are no unnecessary fireworks or forced emotions. In a way, it could be seen as a manifestation of the very thing Temelkuran advocates in 'Deep Mountain', a kind of picking up of the baton. There's little in the way of direct politics and no recriminations: I don't think the word 'genocide' is mentioned once in the entire book (and that's not because of Turkish laws against these things). It's simply a human story, told in an unshowy, humane way.
Both Temelkuran and Çetin manage to address the vexed Armenian issue with admirable clarity, concerning themselves with the personal and the human as a kind of riposte to the debilitating rancour of the official, political dispute. Both try to chart a precipitous course between two entrenched sides that long ago stopped listening to each another; neither condemn anything other than this wilful deafness. In the years to come, one can only hope there are more books published like these two, and less like 'The Armenian Dossier'.

The RNA structures engaged in replication and transcription of the A59 strain of mouse hepatitis virus

In addition to the RI (replicative intermediate RNA) and native RF (replicative form RNA), mouse hepatitis virus-infected cells contained six species of RNA intermediates active in transcribing subgenomic mRNA. We have named these transcriptive intermediates (TIs) and native transcriptive forms (TFs) because they are not replicating genome-sized RNA. Based on solubility in high salt solutions, approximately 70% of the replicating and transcribing structures that accumulated in infected cells by 5–6 h post-infection were multi-stranded intermediates, the RI/TIs. The other 30% were in double-stranded structures, the native RF/TFs. These replicating and transcribing structures were separated by velocity sedimentation on sucrose gradients or by gel filtration chromatography on Sepharose 2B and Sephacryl S-1000, and migrated on agarose gels during electrophoresis, according to their size. Digestion with RNase T1 at 1–10 units/μg RNA resolved RI/TIs into RF/TF cores and left native RF/TFs intact, whereas RNase A at concentrations of 0·02 μg/μg RNA or higher degraded both native RF/TFs and RI/TIs. Viral RI/TIs and native RF/TFs bound to magnetic beads containing oligo(dT)25, suggesting that the poly(A) sequence on the 3′ end of the positive strands was longer than any poly(U) on the negative strands. Kinetics of incorporation of [3H]uridine showed that both the RI and TIs were transcriptionally active and the labelling of RI/TIs was not the dead-end product of aberrant negative-strand synthesis. Failure originally to find TIs and TF cores was probably due to overdigestion with RNase A.

Wadjda (2012) Movie Review | 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Special Series)
by M.H. dos Santos.In 2010's, 2018 FIFA World Cup™, Comedy, Drama, Movies, Saudi Arabia.2 Comments on Wadjda (2012) Movie Review | 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Special Series)
Original Title: Wadjda
Country: Saudi Arabia
Director: Haifaa Al-Mansour
16.12.2019: This review was first published on 20.04.2018 and is being updated for a more complete review, together with the publishing of the YouTube Version.
Hello, Welcome to Ulven Reviews!
Wadjda is a movie from Saudi Arabia, released in 2012 and directed by Haifaa Al-Mansour. It tells the story of a girl who dreams about riding a bike with her friend in a society oppressed towards women.
World Cup Historic
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation is a FIFA affiliated since 1956 but only started playing official tournaments in 1984, when they participated and won the AFC Asian Cup.
As for World Cup, Saudi Arabia had their first appearance in 1994, reaching the Round of 16. After that, in 1998, 2002 and 2006, they stopped at the group stage.
Mohammad Al-Sahlawi
Russia 2018 was Saudi Arabia's fifth participation in the competition. They lost the first two matches, against Russia and Uruguay, but in the last minute of the final game, Salem Al-Dawsari scored the winner against Egypt.
With the win, Saudi Arabia exceeded my expectations, reaching third place in the group with three points, while I was pretty sure they would lose every game and finish bottom of the group.
Congratulations Saudi Arabia National Team.
Wadjda and its writer/director Haifaa Al-Mansour are pioneers as the first movie shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first full-length movie directed by a Saudi woman, however, she did receive death threats for doing her job.
Recently, Saudi Arabia is changing many restrictive policies of the past intending to open the country to the rest of the world, presenting the kingdom as a viable tourist destination.
In this effort, some of the kingdom's actions were, allow women to drive, to attend to football games and after decades, bring cinema back, beginning with screenings of the movie Black Panther (from 2018) and now, even opening cinema chains.
Wadjda (Waad Mohammed) and her mother (Reem Abdullah)
However, the country still has a long way to go regarding women's rights and even human rights in general. After the recent law allowing women to travel without the permission of a man, the news site The Week published an article entitled "Things that women in Saudi Arabia still can't do".
The article lists that women in Saudi Arabia still can't wear clothes or make-up that show off their beauty, interact with men, compete in sports and try on clothes when shopping.
That's the society in which our story unfolds.
Wadjda, played by Waad Mohammed, is a smart 10 years-old girl who wishes to have a bike so she can ride with her friend Abdullah, played by Abdullrahman Al Gohani.
Even though riding a bicycle is not forbidden for girls, it's not something well seen in their society as well, so Wadjda's mother, portrayed by Reem Abdullah, doesn't want to give her the bike.
The determined girl doesn't give up and start selling DIY things and even doing favors to the older kids so she can buy the bike herself. When that doesn't work as well, she decides to enter a Koran recital competition with a prize high enough to afford the so-desired bike.
Waad Mohammed was only 11 years old at the time of the filming and managed to do an incredible job as a debutant actress, carrying the movie as the protagonist. Unfortunately for us, the girl, now 20, is more of a model and social media celebrity than a movie actress.
I think Waad was brilliant and I would love to see more films with her participation, but so far, Wadjda was the first and only movie in her career.
The two other actors I already mentioned in the review also had Wadjda as the only film in their careers, at least according to IMDb. Both Abdullrahman Al Gohani and Reem Abdullah gave great performances regardless of how many titles they have under their resumés.
I still have to mention an important character, the school director, Ms. Hussa, brilliantly portrayed by Ahd Kamel. She is the only one with more roles in the career according to IMDb.
The plot is simple, yet effective, the bike is just the McGuffin, what matters is Wadjda's journey and growth in an environment where there is no place or voice for women.
Wadjda is a film that you can enjoy more if you watch with attention or watch more than once because not everything is spoonfed to you, so you can notice hints on certain things if you're paying attention.
It's a light-hearted and fun movie, it has some funny moments but it's not the type of comedy that intends making you laugh from beginning to end, but to enjoy a fun story without avoiding harsh realities.
I think some topics could be better explored, but it's the only thing I have to criticize about Al-Mansour's work. In spite of that, I cannot recommend this movie further, 9 Moons.

Gæstevenskab er et begreb fra den antikke verden. Blandt oldtidens grækere og romere var der en uskreven lov om, at man skulle udvise gæstfrihed over for fremmede. Zeus Xenios vågede over gæstevenskabet og straffede den, der krænkede det.

Som institution eksisterede gæstevenskabet mellem privatpersoner, der således garanterede hinanden, at de altid ville åbne deres dør for gæstevennen og hjælpe ham (økonomisk, juridisk m.m.) når han var i området. Som det fremgår af f.eks. Iliadens 6. sang, går gæstevenskabet i arv fra fader til søn.

Does very deep ripping deliver?
EXCELLENT barley yields on very-deep-ripped trial plots on Western Australia's south coastal sand-plains were initially seen as a positive sign that deep compaction layers can be overcome profitably. But a more in depth look reveals that the story can be more complex on other soils.
millimetres are indicating the potential of very deep ripping, particularly in the sandy soils of Western Australia's south coastal region.
Kojaneerup grower Josh Goad saw significant yield responses in a very-deepripped trial, where depths of 350mm, 700mm and 1200mm were achieved using various rippers and a bulldozer, then replicated in an experiment across a range of yield zones on his property.
But outstanding yield improvements were not seen at all trial sites on the south coast of Western Australia. Josh had previously clayed large areas of his property over many years to alleviate water-repellent topsoils and, while he saw good early plant germination from this treatment, the end yield result was disappointing.
"Clearly there was something else happening at depth to restrict the root growth of the plant," he says. "We had deal with our water-repellent topsoils - now we needed to look a bit deeper."
Josh heard about positive results achieved from deep-ripping trials on other farms, so he set out to test the theory on his own property.
Regional Development (DPIRD), Josh fi rst attempted trials with ripping treatments to depths of 350mm in 2014, but says the results were not exciting.
According to DPIRD senior development officer Jeremy Lemon, it became obvious during the season, followed by the harvest yield results in 2014, that the compaction constraint was deeper than 350mm.
The following year, Josh and Jeremy began the process of deep ripping to 500mm, but had only treated two plots when the machine broke.
"While it was a wasted year in terms of trial results, this did teach us that very deep ripping can be extremely tough on machines, and that is one of the challenges of going down this very-deep-ripping path," Jeremy says.
"We were bringing up large stumps and roots, and that is to be expected at those depths."
In 2016, the pair went back to the drawing board and decided to use a bulldozer, for trial purposes as an extreme treatment, to rip down to 1200mm just to see what could be achieved.
Clearly this is not practical for a wholefarm approach, but we wanted to see what could be achieved if we went this deep," Jeremy says.
A Heliripper working at 700mm was also used as a more practical treatment in the trial layout. Soil testing with a penetrometer showed peak compaction between 300 and 600mm.
Trial plots were in 12-metre-wide strips, 700 metres long, across a range of yield zones in one paddock.
Jeremy says the plants compensated later in the season.
By August, he says, the deeperripped treatments were visibly better than the un-ripped plots. Josh believes the outstanding results, where yields were up to 1.4t/ha more than the control in one zone, could be attributed to the plants being able to access a watertable at depths of 600 to 700mm during spring.
"Obviously not all areas of the farm have this water-table underneath, but in this particular trial, the 2016 barley yield was 7.25t/ha on the bulldozer ripped strips to 1200mm deep, which is reason enough for me to look at a strategy to deep rip all my arable cropping areas," Josh says.
Economically, these 2016 yield results are demonstrating that for Josh's business, he can achieve a return on investment after just the first year from ripping to about 700mm.
Jeremy says growers often ask how long the impact of deep ripping, and very deep ripping, will last.
"At this stage, we have no local data on that, but my expectation is that if you are using a controlled-traffic system, where machinery compaction occurs on the same wheel tracks, then we could be looking at positive results for many years," he says.
He says the trial will continue on Josh's property to ascertain the longevity of the impact, and will involve ripping again over the 2014 shallow-ripped plots.
Josh says he is now looking at buying a very-deep-ripping machine, which will rip down to 750mm, and he hopes to complete at least 200ha every year prior to seeding.
He is also hoping to make the transition to a controlled-traffic system to protect this soil amelioration investment.
Several other sites on a variety of soils between Esperance and West of Kojonup were also ripped in a collaborative with Reece Curwen South Stirling and many regional DPIRD and grower group staff.
Using these results to predict responses on soils other than deep sands is difficult.
Only deep compacted sands are likely to have consistent responses to deep ripping.
The best responses to shallow (30-40cm) ripping are delivered on gravel and clay.
Deep sand needs deeper ripping to get below compaction layer.
Response mechanisms depend on the soil type and season. Variables include non-wetting, subsoil compaction, or mineralisation of organic nitrogen by cultivation.

Elizabeth Triegaardt has announced that she will be hanging up her ballet shoes after 52 years and retiring from all functions at Cape Town City Ballet.
After a career of relentless service, Honorary Executive Director of Cape Town City Ballet, Elizabeth Triegaardt, has announced she will be retiring from all functions at the dance company she served for 52 years. Chairperson of the Cape Town City Ballet Board, Suzette Raymond honours Triegaardt's commitment to her craft, saying: "The Board of Cape Town City Ballet, its staff, and the ballet community at large is deeply indebted to Elizabeth Triegaardt for her invaluable contribution to dance and classical ballet over the years both in Cape Town & nationally."
During her tenure, Triegaardt served the dance company as both an exemplary dancer and leader; and her expertise will be sorely missed in the studio and on stage. In the last two years, in addition to the core business of mounting productions and ongoing outreach programmes, Triegaardt has overseen the relocation of the company to new premises, and the appointment of a successor, in CEO Debbie Turner, to lead the organisation into a new season. Turner says: "Prof has been an enormous source of information and inspiration – I am deeply honoured to be entrusted with continuing her legacy of building excellence in South African dance."
At this time, it is salient to reflect on Triegaardt's significant commitment and service to classical ballet in South Africa.
Triegaardt is a polymath, whose multiple and varied talents are evident throughout her exceptional career. Her passion for dance was sparked at the tender age of three, when Elizabeth began her training at a class for toddlers in Pretoria. After training in ballet with Ivy Conmee and Marjorie Sturman, Triegaardt completed a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the University of Cape Town (UCT). In the same year she graduated, Elizabeth obtained her solo seal from the Royal Academy of Dancing – a highly regarded accolade in the ballet world.
CAPAB Ballet Company – the progenitor of Cape Town City Ballet – welcomed Triegaardt into the fold in 1967, and she remained fiercely loyal to the company ever since. A trailblazing performer, Triegaardt created many iconic roles in the ballets of South Africa's leading choreographers, including Veronica Paeper and David Poole.
Triegaardt was well known for her portrayals of many of the villainesses in the repertoire and was most acclaimed for her performances as the "Black Swan" in Swan Lake and as "The Lilac Fairy" in Sleeping Beauty – for which she won the Nederburg prize. She served as a principal dancer and ballet mistress of the company until 1986 and continued as a guest artist and repetiteur until 1990.
As the Head of the UCT School of Dance for 22 years, Triegaardt is recognised for her pivotal role in introducing the first degree in dance in South Africa and broadening the scope of practical training in the department to allow students to major in African dance and contemporary dance, as well as classical ballet. Affectionately known as "Prof" by the legions of dancers and students who have had the good fortune to work with or be trained by her, Triegaardt earned the title of Emeritus Associate Professor of the University of Cape Town School of Dance. In 2003 Prof was acknowledged by the Western Cape Government for Meritorious Service to the Arts in the province, and in 2009 was honoured by the Premier for her work at UCT.
Prof's dedication to Cape Town City Ballet continued in tandem with her role at UCT, serving as Executive Chairman from 1997, during which time she transformed the company into a Section 21 NPO. After resigning as Chairman of the Board in 2004, Triegaardt remained Honorary Executive Director. Over the course of the 52 years of service that she has devoted to Cape Town City Ballet, Elizabeth Triegaardt has produced world-class ballets for performances across South Africa and played an essential role in the survival of the much-loved 85-year-old company.
