SuperAgers are defined as people over 80 years old with the cognitive health and memory of someone 20 to 30 years their junior. What's their secret, you ask? It might be friendships, according to a small new study published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Researchers from the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine had 50 people—31 SuperAgers and 19 "cognitively average-for-age peers," as the study describes them—take a well-being questionnaire. The SuperAgers had been previously selected from an ongoing program at the university, scoring above-average for their age on episodic memory tests, the type of memory that gets worse with age.
SuperAgers scored significantly higher in the positive relations section—meaning they reported having more high-quality relationships—compared to their cognitively average peers. This suggests that "perceived high-quality social relationships may be an important factor in cognitive SuperAging," the study authors write.
"You don't have to be the life of the party, but this study supports the theory that maintaining strong social networks seems to be linked to slower cognitive decline," Emily Rogalski, a research associate professor of cognitive neurology and Alzheimer's disease center, said in the study's press release.
This supports previous findings about the importance of social connections—specifically close friendships—for our overall well-being, especially as we get older.

does anyone at the fórum plays there?
i have account at Duck, and from my point of view its nothing special.
Software is under poker standards, players are playing freerolls mostly, and it is about 200 players.
I play freerolls and $1 buy in sngs there but not everyday because i dont like their software and it is to much boring.
However, as far as I know, this is a new Room. Is it not so? It is normal to have low traffic so far... Otherwise, I'm willing to give it a try. For the adventure.
I got a free $5 bonus to sign up, but haven't looked a playing there yet. Traffic is very low.
Go register and play. If its free you should try it. Btw what a terrible name for a poker site.
Does someone got no deposit bonus ?
Not received and you do not advise it, because you have to earn a lot of rake that you could withdraw bonus money.... no easy money!!
Better to play freerolls or make mini deposit..
i play a will on duck poker .
i have not deposiet a dollar i try to make a bankroll with the free rolls .
i was already at 17 $ .
i played higer stakes and lost it all played the same way funny .
oo and casched there mony with succes.
some one here play DuckPoker?
Used to play there but very unreliable and I heard that it was difficult to withdraw money from there. Apparently, it was taking 2/3 weeks to do so after jumping through loops before.............gl if you are trying to withdraw, (there are lots of posts/ threads about the site on google).
Brand names are important and I just don't think it's a very good name, so even with good software and ethics it would be hard to get the traffic. That's the main thing that put me off giving it a look.
You can play cashgames only vs opponents who have their accounts on Duckpoker (very small pool, i havent seen more than 6 tables playing at the same time).
And for tournaments and sng's, they are a part of ACR network (Duck is using their, i think it s called, platform), which i guess is played mostly by players from USA. I like it to play vs USA players, they are so loose .
What i don't like is that i don't get any player points for playing in tournaments so i am not able to clear my first deposit bonus.
Yes it's true, now they are in Winning Poker network for multi table tournaments and sng's but cash game you can play just with Duck Poker players.
I registered there to take 5 No deposit bonus and played with account shomy21. After two months I earned there about 150 dollars and later I made 2 successful withdraws.
I read on some forum that some players was suspended when they pushed a withdraw without any explanation. I didn't have problem with that so good luck if you play there.
Yup, i m always concerned about withdrawals when playing in one of those telativelly unknown rooms.
Some time ago i lost some money when purple lounge went bankrupt, so when i reach a few hunred dollars i always try to withdraw, to see if everything is in order.
But i guess Duck have some liquidity as there is around 50 players in depositor freeroll each week, and i guess we also shouldnt be afraid for tournament winnings. At least i hope so.
That weekly freeroll is for players who made the deposit in curent month. Name of the freeroll is the stupid "Weekly Depositors $250 Freeroll" beacuse it is not true!
And one more thing, even if you won some money from that freeroll, it is T dollars (tournaments) it is NOT real money. You can play just small sngs with players whose playing just on DuckPoker, 1 dollar buy in max.
i have same dolars on duck poker..i got 5 free for registration,and now i have ..if I remember ,,about 15..16 dolars.First day I play, and never again.when I see softver,and only 50 player on that poker,I never sign in again in that poker.
See post qouted below which was about 4 posts above yours, when posting a question in the thread please take a few minutes to see if there might already be feedback that already answers your inquiry.
I finished 2nd place in the BRM Leader board beginning of January but closed my account because the fee for cash out was too much. Duck couldn't process a cash out back too original Debit Visa Card and a lot of delays in clearing bonuses and points for cash out top 2 sites right now 888 and Stars always a good promotion.
I got free 5 tournament $ throughs some affiliate page, wasted them, and after they joined ACR tournament network, i made 35$ deposit, earned some money in tournaments, tried to make a withdrawal but they didnt give me my money. The explanation was that i have to earn 100 player points (around 16$ rake i think). Oh, and they dont award player points for playing tournaments. So, if you want to withdraw, dont take those free 5$ if you are a tournament player. Duckpoker is a f#$%ing scam.

i dont like outlook there and as well they's support is horrible nothink to talk for me not worth to play there i uninstaled it after 2 days.
1€ or 0,5 € buy in - 12 people NLHE and 0,35 € buy in - 18 people NLHE... I have this money month and sometimes I am going to see if there are some people. One time I saw there 3 people, but it is never full, so I never can play for this "bonus money"... Traffic is too low!
Duck poker is like Poker MIRA, I got some money on both but i got sick of them nobody to play, so is a waste of Time!
Its the first Ive heard. Ill look into that.
An online poker site that Puts Players First!
I think it is waste of time..
THIS SITE HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN!
Good riddance, I never liked that site.
They closed my account also.
I only had like €16 that I won playing the bankroll mob games.
Awful traffic, especially if you wanted a cash game. There would be no-one sitting at the tables I once sat at a table and I did get to play HU on a 6max game, then a week later they closed my account, and to be honest, I didn't even care!!
I played there five years ago because there was a freeroll leaderboard promotion and my cashout took two weeks for them to process after that I closed my account. A weak site and bad customer support.


What's on your front door?
Yesterday the sun was shining and it was warm enough that I went to the grocery store wearing my spring jacket. Even though it was still a bit windy out there, the sunshine made it much nicer to head out to run a few errands than the past several weeks have been. On Saturday we went out and it was pouring down rain. It was cold and blustery, gray and gloomy. So to see the sunshine yesterday put me in a pretty happy mood!
After stopping at the post office, the bank, and the grocery store, I decided to pop into the Dollar Store to see if they had any spring "stuff" that I could pick up to make a new wreath for our front door. The first place I stopped (which was my favorite dollar store in our little town) was closing . . . the shelves were almost bare and the sign in the window said, "CLOSING! Everything must go!" The ladies behind the counter told me they would be closing for good in two weeks. So I thought, well, why not see what they still had on the shelves. But, as I said, the shelves were really almost bare. Nothing to see there!
So then I drove over to one of the other dollar stores to see what I could find for spring. Hmmmm . . . . the building was empty and the notice said, "We've Moved! Visit us down on Main Street." I got back in the car and drove a couple of blocks to the new dollar store hoping that I would find some fun stuff there. Oh, good grief! It was a total mess! Everything was so disorganized and messy I could barely walk through the aisles. I'm sure that once they get situated, it will be much better, but I just couldn't handle all that chaos. Off I went to try the last dollar store in our little town.
I'm happy to report that at least one of the dollar stores in our town is functioning normally – but I still didn't find anything that I could use to create a fun wreath or other spring decor item for our porch. Maybe it isn't spring yet, I thought. No one seems to have much spring stuff out, so perhaps I'm too early this year. That would be a new problem to have! I know, I thought, I'll check the hardware store. They always have lovely seasonal decor (although it is really quite a bit more expensive than the dollar stores, but still, they do have nice wreaths for the different seasons).
At the hardware store they were clearly getting ready for spring – but no wreaths yet. By that time I was tired of shopping (or driving and looking and not finding what I was looking for), and it was almost supper time so I just decided to go home. I'll check again this weekend. In the meantime, I was just scrolling through some home and family sites online and I was reminded that a "wreath" doesn't actually have to be a "wreath" to look pretty on my front door. I might have to make my own "wreath" or something else this year. What do you think? Do you put a pretty wreath on your front door and change it with the seasons? Here are some of the ideas I found that have inspired me to try making something myself for our front door. Which one should I try? Let me know what you think! Hope you are having a good spring . . . . or whatever it is these days!

Cognitive emotional based architecture for crowd simulation.
This paper presents a new approach to model crowd behaviour in normal and risky situations. Our model is based on human cognitive characteristics specially personality type, perception and emotion that we assume relevant to individuals' behavioural decisions. The model supports an efficient interaction between the different architecture components to provide behaviour. A formal definition of cognitive characteristics will be given with a description of its use on the model.We demonstrate in this paper the ability of our model to provide emergent behaviour simulating realistic reactions within a crowd based on each individual's attributes and environmental changes.

From the suitcase of… Michelle Kennedy
The co-founder of the parent networking app Peanut (it's basically Tinder for moms) talks travelling with little ones and lets us peek inside her kid-friendly carry-on.
Home Style From the suitcase of… Michelle Kennedy
Amelia Mularz
Michelle Kennedy
Naturally, Michelle Kennedy has mouse ears in her carry-on bag. You wouldn't expect anything less from a tech entrepreneur who has made a business of keeping parenthood fun. Michelle, formerly of Bumble and Badoo, used her experience in dating apps to create Peanut, an app that launched last year to connect like-minded moms for meet-ups and chat groups. Through the app, women find common ground through similar interests and the ages of their youngsters.
Here, we found common ground with Michelle through a love of travel. Between trips to Switzerland and NYC, she walked us through her travel style, tips for flying with kids (she has one, a son named Finlay), and the destination she's obsessing over at the moment. And though she's the queen of social apps, she swears she's not a talkative seatmate.
Most recent trip?
Ascona in Switzerland. I hadn't been there before, but can't wait to return.
Next trip?
New York/Hamptons
A Rimowa case
Luggage of choice?
Rimowa cases and any rucksack. A friend bought me a Rimowa as a gift and I've never looked back. They're so strong, Fin (my son) can sit on top and I can push him through the airport – talk about double duty.
Your packing style in three words?
Beauty product heavy (I hate not having my stuff)
The first thing you do after checking into a hotel room?
Check the hairdryer
An ideal hotel must have…
A decent hairdryer!
Favourite hotel?
Uxua Casa Hotel in Trancoso, Brazil. The Beverly Hills Hotel is a close second.

A destination you're obsessed with at the moment?
I've just spent a long weekend in the Swiss lakes and I was blown away. I was there for my mother-in-law's 80th and had some preconceived ideas about how it would be, but those were totally toppled. The area was beautiful and had an understated elegance. I can't wait to go back.
The best in-flight reading you've done lately?
I'd like to say it was something really high brow, but it was This is going to Hurt by Adam Kay. There were some real laugh-out-loud moments, followed by some really sad, touching ones. The NHS is such a critical organization, it really made me realise how far we have to go to try and preserve it.
The strangest movie you've watched on a flight?
I watched a series called The Girlfriend Experience (clue is in the title). I felt the urge to cover my screen every time the crew walked past.
Your all-time favourite souvenir?
Mickey Mouse ears from Disneyland in California. Taking my little boy there was magical and made me feel like a kid again.
What's typically in your carry-on?
Phone charger, laptop, flat shoes (if you've got to walk from terminal to terminal, you need to be speedy) and my eye mask – I can at least pretend i'm going to try and sleep if I'm not working.
Inside Michelle's kid- and mom-friendly carry-on bag (from left): sunscreen and facial oils, laptop, Minnie Mouse ears, snacks galore, Louis Vuitton duffle, sunglasses, passport, Peanut sweatshirt, eye mask and Gucci loafers.
Do you leave an out-of-office message?
Nope, never. I'm always on. However, I'll use an OOO only if I am going to be travelling without WiFi to explain the delay.
What's currently on your travel playlist?
Audiobooks and podcasts – is that sad? How I Built This, Desert Island Discs and Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations…I love them all.
What's your go-to emoji while on holiday?
The bikini!
Your ideal room-service meal?
Anything with fries and a glass of red. What a dream combo.
Any airport guilty pleasures?
American candy. I stock up on it, mostly for my husband. He loves it when I return home with an assortment of Jolly Ranchers and Juicy Fruit.
Fin and Michelle on the road in California
Any advice for parents flying with kids?
Do not apologise for flying with your child! I used to feel so anxious about the possibility that he would cry, but now I just think: he has as much right to be on a plane as anyone else. Most would agree that it's important to expose our kids to the rest of the world, so having the occasional flight with youngsters is par for the course.
Any fail-proof carry-on items for parents flying with kiddos?
Bring more snacks than you could ever have thought possible…ooh, and stickers. As long as you remove them from everywhere when you leave, stickers can keep kids entertained for hours. Also, you should always have a change of clothes for both you and your little one. You just never know.
Any parenting horror stories from your travels (to make the rest of us feel better)?
YES! We went to Tuscany in June, and Fin vomited for the ENTIRE flight. The smell and the utter despair of not being able to catch it as it projected forward…it was horrific. It was doubly horrendous because afterward he just wanted to cuddle me and therefore I became covered in it, too. I didn't have a change of clothes for us that flight and I felt awful for the rest of the passengers who had to inhale our scent. Thank goodness it was short haul.
Peanut, the social app for moms
Can you tell us how Peanut came about?
I was inspired to start Peanut for two reasons. The first was all about the emotional journey of becoming a mother. My girlfriends weren't at the stage in their lives where they were having children yet, and even if some in my wider friendship group were, we all lived in different parts of the city (and leaving the house to go anywhere farther than 10 minutes from home with a newborn felt like a military operation). I suppose what I felt most prominently, which isn't particularly comfortable for a 30-something woman to admit, is that even though I had lots of friends and was successful, professionally, I felt quite isolated. This was further compounded by the fact that I was working in an industry (dating), where it was my day-to-day to produce products people could use to find a match or a date, and I was struggling to find a woman who was like-minded for a coffee hangout.
The second reason was my frustration with the existing products on the market aimed at mothers. I didn't recognize the tone of voice the products used or the UX/UI being used. They felt outdated, old fashioned and in some cases patronizing. To me, I didn't feel like I'd suddenly aged or become less modern/less cool, just because I'd become a mother. And yet, the products seemed to make that assumption, which I found confusing. I still had an expectation of great user experience from products like Uber or Instagram, but I wasn't getting that from the products for mothers that were out there.
Fin enjoying some truly Californian cuisine: In-N-Out Burger
Do you ever use Peanut to connect with moms while you're traveling?
Absolutely! I recently used it in Los Angeles to ask about activities for my little boy whilst we were there. It was a godsend! How else would you know to avoid the soft play on a rainy day and that there was an incredible art day at the museum a mile from where we were staying? Women truly want to help each other, and Peanut women are the best at that.
Since you created an app all about socialising, do you chat up your seatmate on flights?
Ha! No, I'm not a talker in that way; I'm actually quite shy. I was on a flight to San Francisco once and Peanut was featured in the inflight magazine. I was desperate to tell the guy next to me; I was so proud! Instead, I grabbed as many copies as I could and took them home.
What's the best career advice you've heard?
Always value your network. You never know when you may need that person you came across, so really invest in that network.
The best travel advice?
Do not eat or drink on a long-haul flight if you want to sleep. Try to eat a few hours before and then just drink some water.

Staccato means 'detached' in Italian and it is a very common articulation found in music. Being 'detached' from another note means that there is a period of silence between one note and the next, the silence can be of any duration but it must be there. In a sense, guitarists are always playing staccato notes because of the nature of how we activate the strings. Every time we re-place a right hand finger on the string there will always be a break between the notes and on the guitar it is much more of a challenge learning how to play legato.
At any rate, the effect of playing staccato is all relative and we can definitely make a staccato articulation on the guitar that will add to our expressive palette.
There are two main ways of achieving staccato, one method uses the right hand to detach the notes and one uses the left.
As I mentioned, we are always creating a small staccato effect by placing our right hand fingers on the string in preparation to play. If we accentuate this motion, then we will get a nicely articulated staccato. To start off, simply play slow and steady quarter notes on the 1st string using the i finger, immediately after playing the string replace the i finger on the same string so you cut the sound.
Playing staccato note with the left hand creates a different sound, the sound is cut off in a slower fashion and the articulation is a little more rounded. The best analogy I can think of is a row of cubes lined up (right hand staccato) and a row of tennis balls (left hand staccato). Left hand staccato will only work with fretted notes (not open strings) and is achieved by placing the finger down when the note is played by the right hand and then lifting it off again. Once again, on the guitar left hand staccato will come more easily that left hand legato because our tendency is to lift off our fingers as we play.
For practice, you can use scales with alternating articulation. Once octave normal, one octave right hand staccato, one octave left hand staccato. etc. Of course, you can come up with your own exercises and start incorporating the articulation into your pieces.
Time to get a bit of speed developed in those fingers. In a way this piece is technically simple, at least compared to the last three pieces, but we are going to start adding some more ingredients to the music: scale passages, articulation, speed, and dynamics.
The G major scale gets a real work out here and I recommend playing a crescendo through each one of the scale passages. Experiment with using crescendi (this is the plural of crescendo) decrescendi and a variety of dynamics such as piano, mezzo forte, and forte. Also see where you might add in some staccato notes for articulation.

Approximately 6 million individuals experience panic disorder each year. Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent, intense periods of anxiety/panic, which are often unprovoked, or, "out-of-the blue," and are accompanied by anticipatory anxiety regarding the possibility of future attacks. Panic disorder can be quite debilitating, sometimes accompanied by agoraphobia, or avoidance of pubic places due to fear of being in a setting or situation from which escape or finding help may be difficult.
Before we get to what DOES NOT work, let's discuss what DOES work. Evidence for effective treatment of panic disorder is very well documented. The data show with great robust that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective and is superior to a number of other treatment strategies.
1) Psychoeducation – Education regarding the nature and course of the disorder; the autonomic nervous system and the fight-or-flight response; conceptualization of panic as the magnification and misinterpretation of somatic experiences which result in further physiological arousal and panic symptoms; treatment rationale; and, course of treatment.
2) Relaxation training – Learning to engage the relaxation response via training in diaphragmatic breathing; paced breathing; progressive muscle relaxation; or biofeedback.
3) Cognitive restructuring – Identifying the individual's cognitive structure/sequence during panic; learning to identify cognitive distortions; challenging cognitive distortions; and restructuring these thoughts to be more realistic, accurate, and helpful.
4) Exposure – Eliciting panic symptoms and utilizing coping skills to reduce symptoms; creating a hierarchy (least anxiety-provoking to most anxiety-provoking) of avoided or distressing situations and exposing the individual to these experiences in a structured, systematic manner, allowing them to utilize their coping skills to minimize anxiety.
The KEY TO EFFECTIVE TREATMENT is creating mastery experiences, "I did it" experiences, in which the individual has a new emotional experience in these previously distressing situations, one of newly perceived control over anxiety.
You may have noticed that I have not mentioned medication yet. While this is a blog about effective psychotherapy, psychotropic medication is an effective treatment option for many psychiatric disorders.
(I step onto my "soap box." ) Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin) are frequently prescribed by physicians for patients who present with anxiety (and panic). Often, when primary care physicians or psychiatrists prescribe these medications, these patients are at my door several months later, anxious, overwhelmed, and relying on their benzodiazepine for a small amount of temporary relief. They cling to it, yet they report that it is not very helpful. Although it may "take the edge off," the anxiety quickly returns to which they can only respond by taking another pill.
1) There is a risk of physiological dependence. Yes, that's right; it's habit forming.
2) There is a risk of psychological dependence. So frequently, I see patients who are fearful of leaving benzodiazepines behind, as benzodiazepines have been their only source of potential relief, albeit minimal. Benzodiazepines can undermine CBT treatment, in this way, as it unintentionally validates their belief that they cannot control the anxiety and must rely on external forces to do so.
3) It can create a dysfunctional treatment response. As noted above, although it may "take the edge off," the anxiety quickly returns to which they can only respond by taking another pill, as they have learned.
4) Most importantly, benzodiazepines can be counterproductive to CBT. The aforementioned problems notwithstanding, benzodiazepines, which enhance the action of the neurotransmitter, GABBA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid), resulting in a "calming" or dulled excitatory response. In essence, it dulls the emotional experience, thereby reducing the potential for anxiety/panic intensity.
Ay, here's the rub, as a cognitive behavioral therapist, I WANT you to experience anxiety (in our planned, systematic manner) in order to have mastery experiences, experiences in which you are able to learn that you can, indeed, effectively use your newly acquired coping skills to control and minimize your anxiety. If your ability to experience anxiety is blunted by benzodiazepines, you may be less likely to benefit from CBT and may have a higher potential for relapse.
I'll step down off my "soap box" now.

Utilizing modern access control devices for your business is a smart idea. One of the newest emerging technologies is the use of ISOProx II id cards or badges. More businesses and government agencies are now using proximity card technology to monitor and control access to facilities and yours can too.
Most businesses would prefer a system in place that can control access to its facilities but the cost that was associated with the id cards and badges was too much to bear for many small businesses. Good news is that the prices on that equipment is much less these days and the price of ISOProx II id cards are much more affordable too. One of the reasons why is the methods for creating and printing the badges have come down in the past few years. Enhanced manufacturing practices have help reduce the overall cost of the raw materials that are used. That savings has made it possible for small business to secure their facilities.
One industry that could benefit from ISO PRO II id badges are storage facilities. For most storage businesses, the primary way of gaining access if from a pin number or a key. Pin numbers are much less secure as pin numbers can be shared and spread and keys can be easily copied.
These less secure methods increase the number of unauthorized people that may have access to your facility. If you still use a key then you find yourself having to have your lock re-keyed multiple times which gets expensive.
With a proximity card system in place, only the person that has the access card can have get into the facility. This can greatly reduce the chances that someone with less than honorable intensions learning someone's pin or copying a key. Like with a pin number system, you can also allow or remove access instantly using a HID system.
While storage facilities are just one instance that a small business can benefit from ISOProx II id badges, there are many uses and benefits throughout the small business community. Any business that needs a cost-effective means to restrict access to controlled areas should consider using proximity cards.
The cards can be customized to match your business' styling and colors. You can add any photos or logos you want and the layout of information can be customized to your exact requirement. Design and processes developed by Quickidcard.com have made the whole process easy and very affordable. Visit https://www.quickidcard.com today and design your own custom id card or badge.


Aug 15 – What WASDE Report?
Grains this morning are mostly in the green as the market continues to digest forecasts for moisture events in eastern regions of North America (where they need it, namely Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, & Ontario) and Friday's WASDE report from the USDA. Going into the report, most of the market was expecting the U.S.D.A. to update U.S. average yields to 170.6 bu/ac for corn and 47.5 bu/ac beans, but, per their usual style, the crew in Washington, D.C. made the market take a second look as, they came in at 175.1 bu/ac for corn and 48.9 bu/ac for soybeans! While those numbers appear bearish on paper, some decent demand figures, especially for soybeans, kept the market relatively unchanged by end of trading on Friday. From our perspective, either the market doesn't believe the bearish numbers (I think that they are a bit high myself) or the market is already pricing in a crop near these numbers and managed money is holding the line.For the US corn crop, the new record yield suggests a record crop of 15.2B bushels (compared to 14.757 Billion expected), up an incredible 11% from 2015. For a 2016/17 carryout, the bigger crop means a 41% jump from 2015/16 ending stocks to an even-more incredible 2.4B bushels. For the USDA, this translates to an average forecasted price of $2.45 to $3.45 per bushel for the 2016/17, prices that not many farmers or ag lenders are too happy to look at. Global corn production is expected to be 5.3% higher from last year to 1.01B tonnes, and thanks to competition from wheat, 2016/17 ending stocks are expected to be 5.5% higher at 220.8M tonnes. Brazil's corn crop in 2015/16 got hit hard with drought, down almost 20% from 2014/15 to 68.5M tonnes, however, with record prices available, more acres are expected to get planted in 2016/17, which is why production for this new crop year is pegged at 80M tonnes. Corn production in Argentina in 2016/17 is forecasted by the USDA to be up 30% year-over-year to 36.50M tonnes. In Canada, with dry weather eating up fields in Ontario, only 12 million tonnes of maize are expected to be harvested in 2016/17, a decline of 12% in production from last year.
For soybeans, the USDA is forecasting average prices between $8.45 and $9.10/bushel, a 40 cent drop from their July estimates. With a record average yield forecasted for beans too, a record crop of 4.06B bushels is also suggested (or 110.5M tonnes)! From a global standpoint, Brazil will continue to compete with the U.S., as they're projected to take off 103M tonnes of soybeans in 2016/17, while Argentina will harvest 57M. In terms of other oilseeds, Canadian canola production this year was set by the USDA to 17.6M tonnes, with many questions around disease affecting this final number. While we expect a smaller final output number, the USDA is forecasting canola exports from the Great White North to drop 8% in 2016/17 to 9.4M tonnes, mainly because of China's state reserve auctions increasing and the looming September 1st deadline of China's 1% max dockage tolerance on imports. Elsewhere, the EU is seen producing 20.6M tonnes of rapeseed in 2016/17 (-7% year-over-year) while good growing conditions in Australia are suggesting one of their biggest crops in the past decade with exports set at 2.7M tonnes.
For wheat, total US production was pegged at 2.32B bushels, up 13% from last year, with an average yield of 52.6 bu/ac, a very impressive 20% or 9 bu/ac increase from 2015. Looking at the global balance sheet, wheat production got a big boost to a record 743.4M tonnes, and although there's some additional demand in the market (thanks low prices….), global ending stocks for 2016/17 will jump 4.5% year-over-year to 252.8M tonnes (that's a new record). Pretty much all the major producers got an upgrade in terms of output from last year except for the E.U., which we'll see an 8% decline in output from last year's record crop to 147.5M tonnes (this is still near the 5-year average though so do not think that it's a disaster by any means in terms of production). Looking at specific wheat producers outside of the European Union in the WASDE, Argentina is expecting to take off 14.4 million tonnes (+27% from 2015 thanks to no export taxes anymore), Australia with 26.5 million tonnes (+8%), and 30 million tonnes in Canada (+9%) despite some questions over lost acres to Mother Nature. Black Sea wheat production up an incredible 10% over last year's big crop, with 72 million tonnes coming of in Russia (+18% year-over-year, although there are some quality questions), 15 million in Kazakhstan (+9%), and 27 million tonnes in Ukraine (despite much lower acres).
Overall, the report appeared to be a non-event and we're back to watching weather forecasts and last half of August crop tours. These tours are much more likely to show a good idea what's actually coming up in the fields and, subsequently get some better reactions from the market, than Friday's USDA report, or apparently lack thereof.

Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey, S.A. o La Maestranza fue una empresa siderúrgica fundada en 1900 en la ciudad de Monterrey, la empresa pasó a ser propiedad federal en 1977, hasta su bancarrota en 1986. Durante 60 años se dedicó exclusivamente a la elaboración de artículos de fierro y acero no planos, tales como rieles, alambrón, varilla corrugada, estructuras, ruedas para ferrocarril y demás.

Historia

Orígenes
A finales del siglo XIX, era del conocimiento de muchos empresarios de la existencia de numerosos yacimientos de fierro y carbón en los alrededores de Monterrey, por lo que el conocimiento de Vicente Ferrara en empresas siderurgicas de Estados Unidos, encuentra la oportunidad de instalar una similar en la ciudad, con el apoyo del Presidente Porfirio Díaz quien quería hacer Rieles para Ferrocarriles en México; antes de que comenzara el Porfiriato y del Gobernador Bernardo Reyes, se juntó en alianza estratégica con Eugenio Kelly, León Signoret y Antonio Basagoiti Arteta consiguen apoyo financiero y fiscal, así como el terreno a instalarse, vislumbrando el potencial del estado de Nuevo León como productor de acero.

1900 - 1986
Con el apoyo de diversos empresarios de la ciudad y del gobernador Bernardo Reyes al ofrecer importantes estímulos fiscales, el 5 de mayo de 1900 fue constituida la Compañía Fundidora de Fierro y Acero de Monterrey, S.A. con un capital de 10 000 000 de pesos y la compra de la Compañía Mexicana de Fierro así como de los Fondos mineros de «El Cinco de Mayo», «La Piedra Iman» y «La Cueva» (localizados dentro del distrito minero de Golondrinas) del municipio de Lampazos y el derecho de explotación de otros fondos mineros de Lampazos y Monclova.

Se instala en un terreno de 226 hectáreas al oriente de la ciudad el centro fabril donde se instaló el primer alto horno de América Latina el cual entró en funcionamiento el 7 de febrero de 1903 cuya producción era de 350 toneladas diarias.

La mano de obra de principios del siglo XX imposibilitaba a la empresa tener obreros calificados por lo que fue necesario contratar técnicos extranjeros de Estados Unidos, Francia y Alemania edificando para ellos el Hotel Acero y para los obreros mexicanos la Colonia Acero formada por 120 casas.

Empezó produciendo 500 toneladas diarias de arrabio por medio del proceso de aceración que se realizaba en tres hornos de solera abierta (proceso Siemens-Martin) que aumentaron a cuatro en 1909.

En 1907 llega al consejo de la empresa Adolfo Prieto quien impulsó nuevas estrategias de comercialización y de producción alcanzando en 1909 la cifra de casi sesenta mil toneladas de acero. Buscando mejorar la educación de los trabajadores se funda en 1911 la Escuela Acero, es en este año que la empresa a producir 84 mil toneladas, la Revolución mexicana frenó el crecimiento de la fundidora casi apagando el fuego del Horno número Uno, así como afectando las zonas mineras y la comunicación por ferrocarril provocando escasez de materia prima e imposibilitando aprovechar la oportunidad de exportar el acero a los países que se encontraban en el conflicto de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El conflicto revolucionario afectó el ritmo de labores permitiendo en ciertos periodos laborar un par de días a la semana. Esto no impidió que se editara el Manual para Constructores, obra que sería utilizada para la industria de la construcción y usada como referente por más de 50 años.

Los problemas que trajo la revolución al término de la lucha armada, en 1917 logró una producción de 22 mil toneladas, no es sino hasta 1929 que alcanzó a superar la producción de 66 mil toneladas de años atrás.

En 1917 Carlos Prieto Fernández de la Llana asume la presidencia del Consejo de Administración, adquiere de empresas estadounidenses dos yacimientos: Hércules, en  Coahuila (1920), y el Cerro de Mercado, en el estado de Durango (1922).

Accidente de 1971
El 20 de noviembre de 1971, a las 6:50 de la mañana, trabajadores de la planta tenían que transportar una olla de acero fundido, dicha olla chocó contra una plataforma y se vaciaron unas 25 de las 275 toneladas del hierro fundido que contenía a una temperatura cercana a los 1600 grados centígrados, alcanzando a 17 trabajadores. Los hechos ocurrieron en el Horno No.4, pero la noticia corrió de inmediato por la planta de Fundidora ya que se generó un enorme estruendo y resplandor.

15 de los accidentados murieron instantáneamente, prácticamente desintegrados por la masa ardiente, uno más murió al día siguiente y un ingeniero falleció nueve días después.
Tras el accidente se realizó una investigación, con la cual se pudo descartar la posibilidad de un ataque o sabotaje.

Con los interrogatorios comenzaron a salir a la luz presuntas fallas mecánicas que presentaba la grúa que trasladaba los peroles, específicamente con los mandos eléctricos, además de deficiencias que supuestamente fueron reportadas por los trabajadores y que no fueron atendidas por la empresa.

De igual forma se supuso que el operador de la grúa pudo haber perdido el control de la misma al caerle alguna chispa, ya que la cabina de la grúa carecía de protección durante el movimiento.

Tiempo después, unos de los trabajadores logró sobrevivir, según relato del mismo "fue requerido minutos antes de la tragedia, el se retrasó un poco al guardar viandas de alimento y tras arreglar un pequeño desperfecto que le reportó un operador, cuando estaba por alcanzar a sus compañeros en el horno No.4, la tragedia se hizo presente y él quedó como testigo".

Fue uno de los accidentes más trágicos en la historia laboral de México y el peor de la compañía.

1977 - 1986
La empresa pasó a ser propiedad federal a través de SIDERMEX, bajo la administración de Jorge Leipen Garay en 1977 hasta 1986, dos años después de haber sido declarada financieramente insolvente, fue creado en 1988 el Fideicomiso Fundidora cuyo fin es administrar los activos.

El cierre de la empresa Fundidora

Deuda inmensa
Bajo la administración de Carlos Prieto, presidente del Consejo de Administración, surgieron los planes de modernización y expansión que implicaron, entre otros, la construcción de un nuevo taller de aceración Siemens-Martin, que resultaba obsoleta, que repercutió por años en elevados costos de producción. El plan requería de dos mil millones de pesos cuando el capital de la empresa apenas rebasaba los 300 millones de pesos. Para ponerlo en marcha se obtuvieron créditos por casi 900 millones de pesos. El resultado sería un endeudamiento tan alto que resultaría impagable.

El plan tenía como meta incrementar la producción de 900 mil a un millón de toneladas anuales, pero este objetivo se vio obstaculizado en 1970 por los 131 días en los que estudiantes, obreros y pobladores del lugar mantuvieron bloqueado el acceso a la materia prima del Cerro del Mercado, Durango, lo que ocasionó fuertes daños a la economía de Fundidora.

Para poder sanear sus problemas, el Gobierno Federal, a través de sus organismos financieros, decidió en 1972 comprar 25% de sus acciones. Con esta medida, que no fue exclusiva en Fundidora, puesto que la puso en rescate de otras empresas privadas más, pretendió apoyar las fuentes de trabajo.

En 1974, ante la necesidad de cumplir sus metas productivas, obtuvo un préstamo por 4 mil 700 millones de dólares; adicionalmente, el Consejo de Administración acordó el incremento del capital social mediante la participación del Gobierno Federal, a través de Nacional Financiera, de una inversión por 300 millones de pesos a cuenta de un grupo de inversionistas japoneses, encabezados por la Nipon Steel Corp., con la cual la empresa logró el acceso inmediato a la asesoría tecnológica japonesa.

Organización
El primer consejo de administración estuvo formado por Antonio Basagoiti Arteta, Eugenio Kelly, León Signoret, Tomás Braniff, Vicente Ferrara, Isaac Garza, Valentín Rivero y Gajá, Ernesto Madero Farías y Adolfo Zambrano.

Dentro de los logros realizados por esta empresa, destaca la proyección de una serie de planes de expansión y modernización que abarcaron los años de 1957 a 1977, tendientes a modernizar la tecnología siderúrgica de Fundidora Monterrey. A partir de los años 70's se inicia el paulatino decaimiento de la empresa. Una combinación de problemas sindicales, de producción, devaluación económica, deuda financiera, entre otros, llevó a la considerada primera industria siderúrgica de América Latina a la quiebra el 9 de mayo de 1986.

Previsión y Seguridad
Fundidora Monterrey participó en muchos desarrollos culturales, uno de ellos fue la revista Previsión y Seguridad, editada a partir de 1936, la cual era recibida por los trabajadores de la empresa, transmitiendo entre otras cosas la disciplina y conducta de las familias regiomontanas.

Parque Fundidora

El alto horno número tres aún se conserva intacto dentro del parque, llegó a producir hasta 100.000 toneladas anuales de acero, en 1977 llegó a su máxima capacidad al funcionar con los tres hornos restantes, la empresa alcanzó la meta del millón de toneladas de acero poco antes de su cierre. El alto horno número tres fue declarado monumento y es protegido mediante una ley de patrimonio.

Jeremy Flores: Please Stay Positive
At only 18, Jeremy Flores was the youngest surfer to be on the WCT, the world's surfing elite. Surrounded by a team of professionals and an entire nation, Jeremy even won the most prestigious of competitions, at Pipeline Hawaii, in 2010.
But the pressure, criticism, and his fiery temperament eroded little by little his hopes of becoming world champion. At the end of his tether, on July 13, 2014 at JBay in South Africa, after losing a heat, Jeremy Flores immediately contested his score with the judges, in what was deemed a verbal assault by the World Surfing League. As a result of his actions, Flores received a one-month ban
from the competition for bringing the sport into disrepute.
This film was shot during his hiatus in Tahiti. Jeremy Flores is also published in Desillusion Magazine available on store.dslmag.com

Elementary without being basic, devoid of artifice and yet brimming with contrasts, the new L.U.C XP timepiece embodies the purity of design that characterises the L.U.C. collection. Its natural, casual elegance lies in the details. The texture of its dial, the virgin wool of its strap, the brilliance of its hour-markers, along with its slender shape, all reflect the tradition of Savile Row tailors. For the contemporary gentleman, L.U.C XP is like a blue cashmere flannel suit, worn with a Sea Island cotton shirt and an Ancient Madder tie: a modern classic for men of taste.


I still love the Fast Show. A popular opinion is that it revived a genre - the sketch show - which many said was dead, but I think it defined the genre and set a high water mark which no other sketch show has ever reached. Maybe I'm biased because this programme was on TV during my early teens and was duly lapped up and mimicked by me and my peer group at school. In fact I specifically remember a golden TV scheduling season, when The Fast Show and Nick Fisher's Screaming Reels (which you can now watch on 4oD here: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/screaming-reels/episode-guide and on YouTube!) were both broadcast on the very same night!
Comedian Paul Whitehouse is famously an angler in his spare time, as well as an Angling Trust Ambassador. He often allows his passion to influence his comedy writing, whether it's Ted's futile attempts at teaching Ralph how to fly fish, to convincing Aviva to let him create an angling character, Ollie the Fisherman, for a nationwide advertising campaign!
"Don't get cocky Peter. You're not an American!" Brilliant clip!
Watching this it's obvious that Whitehouse is an angler. The tackle and many of the terms & references are authentic; he's obviously had some major input in the writing of this scene. The angling anoraks ("angloraks"?) amongst us will notice that Simon Day is set-up with a spinner which he just casts out and leaves, rather than retrieving. No wonder he doesn't catch!
There's also another related story on the Daily Mail website, about a pike found choked to death on a carp in Suffolk. I've seen various fishing-related stories on there over the years and they're usually made cringeworthy by the ropey photographs and quotes from their subjects and "experts" (although in this case with Bruno Broughton they at least found an actual expert!), but I had to chuckle at the final sentence, referring to taxidermy costs: "'So after a couple of days I had to bury it,' said Mr Walker."
According to this online article citing the journal "Science", a study carried out on the feeding activities of perch suggests that residues of benzodiazepine passed in human urine may be present in watercourses, in such concentrations that it can "turn fish into greedy, risk-taking loners"! Maybe that explains why there are so many big perch around nowadays!
These findings suggest that there is a need to improve sewage treatment so that the chemicals from medications we take don't find their way into rivers, where - as this study suggests - their effects on the natural world can't be predicted.

California Defies ICE Requests, Releases Illegal Immigrant Convicted of Murdering a Child
When it was time for a convicted child killer to be released from prison, California officials had two options: honor a long-standing request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that he be turned over to them, or simply let him free to roam the streets.
According to ICE, state officials simply let Carlos Morales-Ramirez go.
He didn't enjoy his freedom long, according to an ICE news release.
In 1998, the man was convicted of second-degree murder, assault on a child causing death and great bodily injury to a child causing death.
ICE had been waiting for Morales-Ramirez, a native of El Salvador who was in the U.S. illegally for a long time, according to Fox News.

On Aug. 28, 2013, ICE had filed a detainer with the California Department of Corrections at Pleasant Valley Prison in Chowchilla, California. The detainer is a vehicle used to put a hold on someone being released so that they do not go free.
Even though the request was filed more than seven years ago, on Dec.4, Morales-Ramirez was set free.
"State sanctuary laws grant law enforcement officials the discretion to cooperate with immigration authorities in instances where serious or violent crimes have been committed; again, we are talking about the murder of a child — rather than working with our officers to ensure this convicted aggravated felon was safely handed over to ICE, he was released back into the community and our officers were forced to exhaust more time and resources relocating and re-arresting him," said ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Los Angeles Field Office Director Dave Marin.
ICE wanted Morales-Ramirez, and ICE got him. On Dec. 10 he was arrested.
He is now being held by ICE, awaiting the outcome of a hearing that could see him deported back to his native country.
"California's sanctuary policies continue to fail residents by allowing convicted criminals like Morales-Ramirez to walk free — state officials and advocates need to take a hard look at the reality, and potential consequences, of these misguided laws that leave potential victims wildly unprotected from very egregious criminal offenders," Marin said.
ICE's release noted, "When local law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE's ability to protect public safety and carry out its national security mission."
It also added that during the 2019 federal fiscal year, which ran from Oct. 1, 2019, to Sept. 30, 2020, ICE arrested individuals with more than 1,900 convictions and charges for homicide, 1,800 for kidnapping, 12,000 sex offenses, 5,000 sexual assaults, 45,000 assaults, 67,000 crimes involving drugs, 10,000 weapons offenses and 74,000 DUIs.
The Morales-Ramirez case is only the tip of the iceberg, the Washington Examiner reported.
According to ICE, more than 250 of the 730 detainees at the Adelanto Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center near Los Angeles were ordered released in late October.
An ICE news release said many of them have already been arrested by local police agencies.
"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was very clear that having its hands tied – not being able to process new intakes, an inability to transfer detainees to other detention facilities, and being forced to release egregious criminals from custody – would have a negative impact on the communities its officers are sworn to protect," Marin said.
"Now we see that this order has resulted in criminals being rearrested, not only for outstanding warrants, but for new crimes, which highlights our point regarding the recidivist nature of many egregious offenders."
"The fact that some of the released detainees have committed additional crimes demonstrates the dangers of these court-ordered releases and how they can harm the public in the process," said ICE's Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Director Tony H. Pham.
"We were firm in our warning that these releases would impact public safety, and unfortunately, it did not take long for some of these criminal aliens to re-offend. This proves that many of these aliens are recidivist offenders who should not have been released in the first place."
Although released detainees were supposed to be tracked with monitoring devices, some detainees tampered with the devices once they were freed.
"We have other individuals who have relocated out of state and failed to report, as required, to their new ICE office; individuals who have appeared to tamper with and/or remove their ATD monitoring devices; and others who cannot be located using the phone numbers and addresses they provided our officers.
"These absconders show a complete lack of regard for the legal system that authorized their release, and our immigration laws and policies," Pham said.

Secure your belongings and EPIRBs: Owners of larger boats are urged to move their boats to inland marinas where they will be less vulnerable to breaking free of their moorings or damage. Probability of landfall on East coast diminishing Hurricane Joaquin will still be a unsafe storm, regardless of if it makes landfall or stays out to sea.
Hurricanes and tropical storms are categorized by how strong the winds are and while we can still get strong and damaging winds it's usually inland flooding that causes the most problems for us here in western Massachusetts.

City Guide, The Full Article.
Here is the full article that is posted on the Taylor Creek Fly Shop Blog. Be sure to check it out and give Kirk, Travis and Will a call, it is one of the best fly shops in the world.
It's 7:10 in the morning not so long ago and I am headed into work. A year ago that would have meant getting out of bed, maybe taking a shower, putting on my guide shirt, grabbing my vest and rods, load up the truck and be at the fly shop with a total of an 8 minute commute. I would meet my clients for the day and go fishing wherever I felt it would be great on the Gold Medal waters of the Fryingpan and Roaring Fork rivers. That was my "work" for 18 years.
Today, I get out of bed, definitely take a shower, get dressed in my monkey suit, grab a coffee, get stuck in traffic, get aggravated and then try be the best employee I can be in the new city job I have recently taken on. I like the first paragraph of this story much better.
The changes I have made to move to the big city are all for good reason, I was fishing for love and I landed her in Denver. So I made this commitment and moved from the Roaring Fork Valley to the "Big D" to begin my life with my bride to be. All of that is good. Here's the catch though. This change of lifestyle does make guiding and my love of the river a bit, if not a lot, more difficult. So, it begs to be asked, how does a mountain guy, fly fishing guide adjust to his new surroundings?
He doesn't. What he does do, is try to view the world through trout colored glasses.
This summer, I was pining to go on the Fryingpan River, remembering the how the water rushed around my waders with the occasional caddis fly going up my nose. I had to get a fix. So I went down to South Platte River right here in downtown Denver and found an eddy behind a trashed grocery cart freshly thrown into the river. I took a number of big inhales through my nose to get a whiff of the fresh smog from a nearby factory to help transport me back to the place that I love. To my surprise it didn't work. But I was still optimistic.
Just the other day on my way into work, I stopped in the coffee shop directly across the street from my house called Stella's. I go there every day to get a medium cup of danger monkey dark and chat with whoever is behind the counter. This place is just like any other coffee shop in any other small town. The other morning I noticed a pick-up truck with the license plate '6X20RS2' (referencing the fly pattern, an RS2, and the size of the fly and tippet). Now that is a very specific vanity plate. A big smile came across my face and I just had to go and find out who this person was. I strolled around and found the only guy (this is not sexist statement, there was only dudes in the coffee shop) that fit the "I like getting a line wet" look.
Let me stop here for a moment. There are always two perspectives when you live in a destination resort area; the locals and the tourists. I have always been a local, very rarely a tourist. So, it is not uncommon for us locals to strike up a conversation with someone that you might not know and talk about anything – fishing, skiing, biking, whatever. They are often just excited to be there and to get an inside scoop on what's going on out there and what bug is hot.
I say to this guy, "Dude, is that your truck? You must fly-fish. That's pretty light tippet." This is when I realized I wasn't in Kansas anymore. A curt "Ya-and…?" is all I got. Nothing, zilch, nada. I found myself standing there awkwardly, not as a knowledgeable local guide with an information starved tourist or as tourist with tourist getting ready to swap fish stories, but instead as the guy interrupting said dude with newspaper. Awkward. So I mentioned that I was a guide – still nothing. I got my coffee, did the customary guy head nod and went on my way somewhat jaded.
But I am not discouraged; there is hope.
The great part of moving here is that I live by Wash Park. An incredibly beautiful open space in the center of Denver, filled with volleyball players, freshly parented 30 somethings with BMW baby joggers, yoga pants and iPhones. Off in the distance I see two people, both with fly rods, casting on the grass, horribly. "A-ha" my inner guide senses whispered to me. I walk up and ask, "How's it going?" sheepishly, doing my best not to look like weird random park conversation guy. "Where are you going fishing?" I ask. They look at me and mutter, "Nowhere yet, just practicing." the worst caster say's. "That's cool. Can I show you a couple tricks that might help? I do a lot of this……I'm a guide out of Basalt." I say. "Ya, so you fish in the pan? Come on over." they reply. The guide in me is satisfied.
I wouldn't be telling you the truth if I said it has been easy to be so far away from the activity that I love so much, but I will say that it will always be a part of me. Guiding is so much more that just taking somebody fishing. It's about relationships and sharing common interest. I may not be near gold medal waters anymore but I can still share and teach the art of fly fishing. That is, if fly-fishing in a random patch of grass, doing my best to be a city guide counts.
It's has been just a week since my last fly fishing article was posted online and to my surprise, it received a ton of traffic. Thank you for reading and sharing it with your friends.
Well guess what? Taylor Creek Fly Shop has just posted another one of my articles on their blog, I could not be more honored.
The article is called "The City Fishing Guide", it is just a brief account of a geographically misplaced Fly Fishing guide trying to make connections in a big city. Call it a treasure hunt if you will.
I will be posting the entire article here in just a few days. Please check it out on their blog and leave me a comment of your thoughts and if you have had any similar experiences, I would enjoy hearing your stories.
Those of us that would prefer to hear the river report instead of a progress report NEED to stick together.
Please hit the 'follow' button, I appreciate you support and you will be the first to catch the freshest stories.

Voice MagNewsGlastonbury announce…
Glastonbury announces 2022 Emerging Talent competition
by Ash Edmonds
Winners could end up playing on one of the festival's main stages, alongside a share of £10,000 to help develop themselves further.
The organisers of Glastonbury festival have announced that they are bringing back their Emerging Talent competition for 2022. The contest runs every year, and sees rising grassroots artists submitting their work for a chance to win a slot on one of the main stages of the festival.
The event is supported by PRS For Music, as well as the PRS Foundation, and opens for prospective applicants from Monday 31 January up until 7 February. The competition is accepting applicants from any genre, but only artists from the UK and Ireland are eligible to enter. Prizes for the Emerging Talent contest, alongside performing on a stage at the festival, include £5,000 as a "talent development" reward. Two runners-up will be awarded with £2,500 each.
A selection of 90 acts will be on the eventual longlist, chosen by an industry established panel of 30 music writers, and the group will then be reduced to a shortlist of eight by judges that include members of the Glastonbury team. The winners of the competition will be decided at a showcase in Pilton, a town in Somerset where the festival is set to take place.
Emily Eavis, festival organiser and daughter of Glastonbury festival founder Michael Eavis, told Under The Radar: "We're so happy to announce the return of the Emerging Talent Competition, which is always one of the first big markers that another Glastonbury is on its way. The competition has helped us unearth so much amazing music over the years and I'm really excited to hear this year's crop of entries!"
PRS Foundation CEO Joe Frankland also said: "Having been lucky enough to attend the live finals in Pilton for a number of years, I know it's harder and harder each year to choose the winners. So many artists have been discovered and made progress in their careers."
"Thinking back to Declan McKenna, Flohio, She Drew The Gun, Che Lingo and 2020's winners including R.A.E (who will perform at this year's festival), we can't wait to see who comes forward in 2022."
There is more information and details about applications to the Emerging Talent competition that can be found on Glastonbury's website.
