"Branching" may be too quaint an image to use in something about forests, and in any case I'm not thinking so much about the free formation of limbs – to use another plant-metaphor (from below ground) the rhizomatic this-way-and-that way development of ideas – as a sort of bifurcation of ideas, splitting one from another. I'm doing this in an attempt to (another outdoors metaphor) to clear the field.
Starting with the the antiqua silva, we might, for example, distinguish two overarching images of the outdoors, which, at the start I'll call the image of outdoors as a place of beauty and the image of outdoors as a place of adventure. Beauty leads us to think of the pastoral, the idyllic, to Vergil's eclogues and the lighter passages of Wind in the Willows – a place to which we long to return, and (on another branch) a place which we try to preserve. The ambiguity of reading the phrase alone leads to the ambiguity of Poussin's famous painting (Wikipedia has a wide-ranging entry on the phrase itself) even before we meet the stories of Dan Brown or other writers So beauty leads to pleasure, and to a duty of preservation. Adventure, on the other hand, leads to danger, to the anxiety of separation from the attachment figure – here we are closest to those interests in children's stories that are linked to folklore. We are in the Wild Wood where Mole is threatened, in the forest of (here she comes) Red Riding Hood and her dangerous creatures.
One road leads to the eclogues, and thence to Green literature (what a shorthand!); the other to a place of danger, peril to be overcome, and thence to fear or mistrust of the outdoors.

Spanish media is reporting that thirteen people are now believed to have been killed, and dozens are injured, following a terror attack in Barcelona.
Local news organisation TV3 has said it has now has official confirmation that thirteen people are dead. It also says there are dozens of injured.
The same death toll had previously been reported by Cadena SER Radio, one of Spain's premier radio channels, who claimed to be quoting police sources.
The radio station also reported that a Spanish identity card with an Arabic name was found inside the van used in the attack. Spanish police have said they do not know the motive behind the attack currently, but are treating it as terrorism.
Catalan police have tweeted that the incident is being seen as a terror attack, and relevant procedure is taking place.
Police have set up roadblocks around the city amid reports that a second van was involved in the attack and fled the scene.
There are also reports that at least on attacker is holed up in a Turkish restaurant on Carrer Hospital, which leads off from the spot in which the van appears to have come to a halt, reportedly on top of a Joan Miro mosaic, half-way down Las Ramblas.
That would mean the van had travelled down the crowded street for more than 500 metres. Eyewitnesses have described the van as travelling very fast, showing no signs of avoiding pedestrians it struck.


In 2016, A satellite image showing peculiar hexagonal clouds over the ocean area known as the Bermuda Triangle is prompting speculation about whether they may represent a recurring phenomenon responsible for decades of unexplained disappearances in the region.
Seen from above, the clouds appeared to form six-sided outlines, like honeycombs, with hard edges. They range in size from 20 to 55 miles (32 to 89 kilometers) across, according to the Science Channel.
According to the Science Channel, similar cloud formations in the North Sea near the U.K. have been associated with so-called "air bombs" — powerful downdrafts of air that could overpower and destroy ships and airplanes. But even though the clouds over the North Sea and the Bahamas may look the same, they likely have different causes and interact with the ocean below in different ways, experts say.
Randy Cerveny, a meteorologist at Arizona State University, told the Science Channel that the hexagonal shapes were signatures of "microbursts," rapid and highly focused blasts of downward-moving air that can generate sea-surface winds reaching nearly 100 mph (161 km/h) and ocean waves towering more than 40 feet (12 meters) high — which could certainly wreak havoc on the sea surface and any vessel on or near it.
All commercial aircraft and many commercial airports in the United States and around the world now have wind shear detection systems to alert aircraft to the dangers of microbursts. Thanks to better training and major advances in technology, the last commercial airplane crash in the U.S. attributed to a microburst was USAir Flight 1016 back in 1994.
Microbursts are a dangerous severe weather phenomenon that can cause great amounts of damage with little or no warning.
Meteorologists are able to forecast environments capable of producing microbursts, and using weather radar, they can often issue warnings some minutes before one potentially occurs.
The debate has continued over whether the danger of the Bermdua Triangle region might be overstated ever since Vincent Gaddis, a writer who specialized in anomalous phenomena, first coined the name in a Feb. 1964 issue of the pulp magazine "Argosy.


Electrocardiogram (ECG) data compression algorithm is needed that will reduce the amount of data to be transmitted, stored and analyzed, but without losing the clinical information content. A wavelet ECG data codec based on the Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) compression algorithm is proposed in this paper. The SPIHT algorithm has achieved notable success in still image coding. We modified the algorithm for the one-dimensional (1-D) case and applied it to compression of ECG data. By this compression method, small percent root mean square difference (PRD) and high compression ratio with low implementation complexity are achieved. Experiments on selected records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database revealed that the proposed codec is significantly more efficient in compression and in computation than previously proposed ECG compression schemes. Compression ratios of up to 48:1 for ECG signals lead to acceptable results for visual inspection.
Discrete Wavelet Transform, ECG compression, SPIHT.
In this paper we are to find the optimum multiwavelet for compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals and then, selecting it for using with SPIHT codec. At present, it is not well known which multiwavelet is the best choice for optimum compression of ECG. In this work, we examine different multiwavelets on 24 sets of ECG data with entirely different characteristics, selected from MIT-BIH database. For assessing the functionality of the different multiwavelets in compressing ECG signals, in addition to known factors such as Compression Ratio (CR), Percent Root Difference (PRD), Distortion (D), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) in compression literature, we also employed the Cross Correlation (CC) criterion for studying the morphological relations between the reconstructed and the original ECG signal and Signal to reconstruction Noise Ratio (SNR). The simulation results show that the Cardinal Balanced Multiwavelet (cardbal2) by the means of identity (Id) prefiltering method to be the best effective transformation. After finding the most efficient multiwavelet, we apply SPIHT coding algorithm on the transformed signal by this multiwavelet.
ECG compression, Prefiltering, Cardinal Balanced Multiwavelet.
The aim of this paper is to present a new method which can be used for progressive transmission of electrocardiogram (ECG). The idea consists in transforming any ECG signal to an image, containing one beat in each row. In the first step, the beats are synchronized in order to reduce the high frequencies due to inter-beat transitions. The obtained image is then transformed using a discrete version of Radon Transform (DRT). Hence, transmitting the ECG, leads to transmit the most significant energy of the transformed image in Radon domain. For decoding purpose, the receptor needs to use the inverse Radon Transform as well as the two synchronization frames. The presented protocol can be adapted for lossy to lossless compression systems. In lossy mode we show that the compression ratio can be multiplied by an average factor of 2 for an acceptable quality of reconstructed signal. These results have been obtained on real signals from MIT database.

In this study, to compress ECG signals, KLT (Karhunen- Loeve Transform) method has been used. The purpose of this method is to perform effective ECG coding by a correlation between the length of frames and the number of vectors of ECG signals.
We suggest a novel method to incorporate longterm redundancy (LTR) in signal time domain compression methods. The proposition is based on block-sorting and curve simplification. The proposition is illustrated on the ECG signal as a post-processor for the FAN method. Test applications on the new so-obtained FAN+ method using the MIT-BIH database show substantial improvement of the compression ratio-distortion behavior for a higher quality reconstructed signal.

In this paper we present a novel approach for wavelet compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals based on the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) coding algorithm. SPIHT algorithm has achieved prominent success in image compression. Here we use a modified version of SPIHT for one dimensional signals. We applied wavelet transform with SPIHT coding algorithm on different records of MIT-BIH database. The results show the high efficiency of this method in ECG compression.
This paper presents a new Quality-Controlled, wavelet based, compression method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. Initially, an ECG signal is decomposed using the wavelet transform. Then, the resulting coefficients are iteratively thresholded to guarantee that a predefined goal percent root mean square difference (GPRD) is matched within tolerable boundaries. The quantization strategy of extracted non-zero wavelet coefficients (NZWC), according to the combination of RLE, HUFFMAN and arithmetic encoding of the NZWC and a resulting look up table, allow the accomplishment of high compression ratios with good quality reconstructed signals.

Partisan Song/Zog Nit Keynmol
by Noemie Rosner
The Partisan Song (or Partizaner Lid) is the name of a Yiddish song considered one of the chief anthems of Shoah survivors. The lyrics of the song were written in 1943 by Hirsh Glick, a young Jewish inmate of the Vilna Ghetto. The title means "Never Say", and derives from the first line of the song, "Never say that you have reached the final road." During World War II, "Zog Nit Keynmol" was adopted by a number of Jewish partisan groups...

Prologue - Passover 2015
by Judy Chicago & Donald Woodman
I write this year's Prologue as Israel is going to the polls to decide whether to replace its present right-wing prime minister with the Zionist Union, a center-left political alliance. Whatever the outcome, chances are that Israel's recent history of fractured politics and short-lived coalitions will probably continue. But why am I writing about Israel? you might ask. Aren't there enough issues here at home for us to deal with? Perhaps it is because of the disturbing rise of anti-Semitism in...

Imagine you are standing on the bank of the sea of reeds and you look forward and all you see is water. Suddenly, you look behind you and you see the Egyptian army quickly approaching you. The Israelites pled to Moses and Moses spoke to God. God told Moses, raise your staff over the water and I will split the seas. So Moses did, and nothing happened. Suddenly a man named Nachshon started walking into the water. The water was up...
Maggid: The Story of the Turtles
Remember the days of old:consider the years of many generations (Deut. 32:7) Every year, hundreds of giant sea turtles swim hundreds of miles from their homes near Brazil to a tiny island in the Atlantic Ocean in order to find their mates. For years, scientists tried to understand how the turtles could find their way every time, from so far away. It was a tiny island, and even airplanes sometimes had trouble finding it. What do you think it was?? Once...

The story of Passover clip #2 from the SISO Jubilee Haggadah
From this passage we learn that a people can sustain decades, even centuries, of oppression and humiliation. Yet despite all the hardship, such a people can flourish in many ways including increasing in number. And it can flourish in spirit, maintaining hope and conviction that its days of alienation from freedom — personal and national — are numbered. As Jews, we remember that we became collectively alienated from our land by leaving it and became aliens in another land. So, too,...
The traditional Haggadah, the narration of the Passover story, has three separate beginnings, each with a different meaning: "We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt"; "At first our ancestors were idol-worshippers"; and "My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down to Egypt." These remind us of the multiple forms of liberation embodied in the Exodus: liberation from slavery and oppression; from ignorance and superstition; and from homelessness and helplessness. And what are we to make of all this? The...

We have had the privilege of interviewing many experts in the fields of genetics, epigenetics, developmental biology, reproductive biology, evolutionary theory, history of medicine, endocrine disruption, neuroscience, toxicology and molecular biology. Each researcher brings new perspective to the multifaceted questions of the history, mechanics and role of germline exposures in genetic change and human development.
New interviews are being posted every month.
"During [embryogenesis] major changes occur in, for example, DNA methylation and in other aspects of chromatin marking. When things are happening during these periods, they can have long-term repercussions."
"We literally went through a period of time where it was either genetics or the environment.... [W]hat's been missing in these studies is really an understanding of how the genetics have worked with environmental exposure."

"Over the last five to ten years, the plasticity has become the novel piece of epigenetics — the fact that there are epigenetic mechanisms that are constantly responding to the environment."
"If these chemicals impact the epigenome, this can change the programming in the germ line and potentially be transferred across generations. If so, with endocrine disrupting chemicals, you aren't just impacting the person exposed, you are impacting their children and grandchildren, and possibly their great grandchildren."
"I can say with high confidence that molecular aberrations are passed on via the epigenome across generations where they can produce significant differences in neurodevelopment."
"One key characteristic of hormones is that they work at extremely low levels. Very tiny amounts of hormones have effects in the endocrine system. Some hormones work at the level of parts per trillion—this is like one drop of water in 20 Olympic size swimming pools."
"We think it's important to understand whether germ cells respond differently from somatic cells to a chemical exposure because a change in the genome in the germ cell can be transmitted to the next generation and permanently contribute to the population gene pool."

"[T]here are at least three distinct windows of egg development that appear vulnerable to the effects of BPA; we see effects in adult females exposed prior to ovulation and in fetuses exposed in the womb during two distinct stages of development."
"I would stress that our data show that in mice, social interactions, as a class of behaviors, are disrupted by transgenerational exposure to 'human-like' levels of BPA."
"[E]xposure during a pregnancy will 'hit' three generations at the same time, since in addition to the mother, and the body of the developing fetus, the fetuses' germ cells are already present and get exposed as well. Even more, depending on when exactly during development the exposure occurs, these cells are extremely vulnerable."

In the Garden of Beasts
Erik Larson has a new book out and it is already atop the charts. I'm quickly trying to finish his nonfiction hit from a few years ago, The Devil in the White City, a huge bestseller about the murders that took place during the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Larson's new book fashions the same literary nonfiction techniques to tell the story of the rise of Nazi Germany from the inside. It's called In the Garden of Beasts. The description from Barnes and Noble:
"The time is 1933, the place, Berlin, when William E. Dodd becomes America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in a year that proved to be a turning point in history.
"A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the "New Germany," she has one affair after another, including with the suprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance—and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition.
"Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Göring and the expectedly charming–yet wholly sinister–Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror."

SANAA, Yemen — A Shiite rebel leader in Yemen vowed to not surrender Sunday amid Saudi-led airstrikes in a rambling speech that rejected U.N. efforts to halt violence there, even as the political party of the country's former leader welcomed international efforts for a cease-fire.
The speech by rebel leader Abdul-Malek al-Houthi, his first since the Saudi campaign began, offered signs of cracks appearing in his alliance with Yemen's one-time President Ali Abdullah Saleh. However, his speech signaled no sign of his rebels backing down from their offensive after earlier seizing the capital, Sanaa, and forcing President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi into exile.
"The great Yemeni people will never surrender and never be subjugated," al-Houthi said.

Saudi Arabia and allied countries began their airstrike campaign on March 26, hoping to roll back the Houthi advance, which began in September. Western governments and Sunni Arab countries accuse the Houthis, who largely are Zayidi Shiites, of receiving military support from Iran. Iran and the rebels deny that, though the Islamic Republic publicly has sent humanitarian aid into the country.
As of Tuesday, the strikes have killed hundreds of Houthi fighters and at least 364 civilians, the U.N. has said.
As al-Houthi blamed Saudi Arabia, the United States and Israel for orchestrating the campaign against his forces, the political party of Yemen's former longtime autocrat said it welcomed a U.N. resolution calling for a cease-fire in the country. In a statement on its website, Saleh's General People's Congress said that it would "respond positively" to the U.N. Security Council resolution issued last week.
Pro-Saleh forces have been fighting alongside the Houthis.
The U.N. resolution demands that all Yemeni parties, especially the Houthis, end violence and return swiftly to U.N.-led peace talks aimed at a political transition. It makes no mention of the Saudi-led airstrikes targeting the rebels and pro-Saleh forces.

Meanwhile Sunday, pro-Hadi forces regained control of part of the Aden coastline that had been held by the Houthis and their allies, security officials said. The gained positions allow them to attack the rebel-held airport and cut off supplies to anti-Hadi forces, they said.
Rebel forces also made another push to take the Dar Saad area, just north of Aden, but failed, the officials added, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief journalists.
In Amman, the United Nations said Saudi Arabia had agreed to fund completely a $273.7 million appeal for emergency aid to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe inside Yemen.
Purnima Kahsyap, humanitarian coordinator for the U.N. aid effort in Yemen, said that the U.N. was thankful to Saudi Arabia for covering the entire appeal cost, but urged all other partners to continue to provide assistance.
The U.N. and aid partners have repeatedly called for pauses in the fighting so aid can be delivered.
In a statement Sunday, aid group Oxfam said an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition hit one of its storage facilities in Saada governorate in northern Yemen. "This is an absolute outrage, particularly when one considers that we have shared detailed information with the coalition on the locations of our offices and storage facilities," country director Grace Ommer said. The statement said no one was killed.

Michael Collins was a revolutionary, soldier and politician who was a leading figure in the early-20th-century Irish struggle for independence. He was Chairman of the Provisional Government of the Irish Free State from January 1922 until his assassination in August 1922.
Collins was born in Woodfield, County Cork, the youngest of eight children, and his family had republican connections reaching back to the 1798 rebellion. He moved to London in 1906, to become a clerk in the Post Office Savings Bank at Blythe House. He was a member of the London GAA, through which he became associated with the Irish Republican Brotherhood and the Gaelic League. He returned to Ireland in 1916 and fought in the Easter Rising. He was subsequently imprisoned in the Frongoch internment camp as a prisoner of war, but was released in December 1916.
Collins rose through the ranks of the Irish Volunteers and Sinn Féin after his release from Frongoch. He became a Teachta Dála for South Cork in 1918, and was appointed Minister for Finance in the First Dáil. He was present when the Dáil convened on 21 January 1919 and declared the independence of the Irish Republic. In the ensuing War of Independence, he was Director of Organisation and Adjutant General for the Irish Volunteers, and Director of Intelligence of the Irish Republican Army. He gained fame as a guerrilla warfare strategist, planning and directing many successful attacks on British forces, such as the assassination of key British intelligence agents in November 1920.
After the July 1921 ceasefire, Collins and Arthur Griffith were sent to London by Éamon de Valera to negotiate peace terms. The resulting Anglo-Irish Treaty established the Irish Free State but depended on an Oath of Allegiance to the Crown, a condition that de Valera and other republican leaders could not reconcile with. Collins viewed the Treaty as offering "the freedom to achieve freedom", and persuaded a majority in the Dáil to ratify the Treaty. A provisional government was formed under his chairmanship in early 1922 but was soon disrupted by the Irish Civil War, in which Collins was commander-in-chief of the National Army. He was shot and killed in an ambush by anti-Treaty on 22nd August 1922.

Talent Match – supporting young people into employment
Over the last five years we have helped over 600 people in West Yorkshire on the path to work and training through Talent Match.
Brathay News
Author: Julia Wilson
An England-wide programme with Big Lottery Funding; Talent Match supports young people who need extra help towards employment. Those taking part will be long-term unemployed and have complex lives. They might have left care, have no sense of direction or any support at home, be lacking role models or have mental health problems. If we need to, we refer them for additional, specialist support. Some have practical problems such as not being able to afford to travel to interviews or having appropriate work clothes.
We deliver Talent Match in Bradford and Calderdale; we assign each young person a Key Worker who meets them on a weekly basis for up to a year. The Key Worker helps them set goals and coaches them to reach their targets. We aim to get them into volunteering, apprenticeships or work but some need a lot of support before they're ready for these options.
Nicole's Story
"Talent Match has taught me a lot and got me a permanent job somewhere I love working.
I enjoyed doing the workshop for employability as this helped me learn what employers are looking for and how to present yourself. Although I was unsure about doing the presentation at first I am so glad you encouraged me to do this as it helped me with my presenting skills, which was extremely useful at the interview and during my six month job creation.
One of the best things about the programme for me was that you helped me to find jobs in areas I wanted a career in, unlike the Job Centre where I felt pressured to apply for jobs I wouldn't enjoy.
The job creation I did was a great opportunity as I was able to gain experience working in an industry that interested me while being paid and developing not only my design skills but also developing personally and gaining a lot more confidence.
I also liked that you visited to check that I was happy with the job creation and they were happy with how I was progressing, this helped me to feel more comfortable as I didn't have to worry about anything and I knew I was able to contact you if I needed support.
Through the skills that I have gained from Talent Match and the job creation I have now been given a permanent position with the company."
The Employer's Story
"We got contact details and asked for some CV's - not really thinking anything would come of it. Straight away, we had about 5 CVs and booked a few of them in for interviews. One of them was Nicole. The most quiet, unassuming person I think any of us had ever come across. We were a bit unsure but then she brought out her portfolio and literally came to life - stunned is an understatement. We quickly asked her to come and do a placement with us and six months later, we have just offered her a job and her confidence is so much better. She's a huge asset to the business and a great member of the team - we will continue working with her and developing her as the time spent so far has been worth every minute.
Our thanks go to Nicole for all the effort she has put in to making the progress she has, but also to her wonderful Brathay Key Worker who takes a genuine interest in who she's working with and makes sure she places the right people in the right business. It's been a pleasure having update meetings with her and telling her that because of her dedication and passion to help people, Nicole has set herself well on the way to a career in design, making use of her amazing talent."

There is a late surge in people seeking positions that pay up to £220-a-year with the world's tenth largest employer.
At least 28 million people have applied for a job with Indian Railways after its latest nationwide recruitment drive.
The world's 10th largest employer is offering 90,000 positions across the country to prospective engine drivers and other workers.
An extension to the deadline for applications in the last week has resulted in a surge of applications for the positions worth between £200 and £220 per month.
Around nine million are thought to have applied in the last five days as Saturday's closing date approached.
Around 26,000 assistant train driver jobs have been advertised along with nearly 63,000 other posts such as porters or metal workers.
Candidates must be between 18 and 31, according to the 57-page application form, must undertake a written or online exam and must prove their identity to prevent fraud.
India is currently facing an employment crisis and getting a job in the huge state-owned firm offers a guaranteed income.
Many positions come with family accommodation.
India's rail network - which manages 75,000 miles of track, employs 1.3 million people and carries 8.2 billion passengers a year - is undergoing a massive modernisation programme to bring it up to date.
Much of the shape of the existing network dates from colonial times, which severely restricts train speeds and reliability.
In 2013, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was campaigning for office, he promised to create 10 million new jobs in India.
In the last hours before the deadline on Saturday, Mr Modi's BJP party tweeted that a further 20,000 jobs would be available as part of the recruitment round.

An up and coming steadfast voice for the region's sugar beet industry
Written By: Emily Beal |AgWeek.com
Walking into Harrison Weber's office, your eyes quickly wander to two battered toy tractors sitting on the forefront of his desk. Clearly banged up and bruised from years of rough housing and play, the toys have a stark contrast to the rest of the well-polished and professional room. Those toy tractors, one green and the other red, tell the story of Weber's agricultural background and where he came from.
"This John Deere tractor is the tractor that sat on my grandfather's kitchen shelf, and the Case tractor is the one I used to play with in the sandbox. That's why it is so dirty, it reminds me of my childhood," Weber said.
Weber grew up in Casselton, N.D., helping on his family's farm. The farm encompasses a variety of crops, ranging from wheat, corn, sugar beets, sunflowers and more. For Weber, growing up on his family's farm was an experience he will never forget.
"I grew up driving trucks and sweeping bins and doing all the stuff that farm kids do. I remember the smells of harvest and spending time with my family. I remember the long days and long hours working, but how rewarding they were. It brings back a lot of good memories just thinking about the farm," Weber said.
Weber went on to attend Valley City State University where he majored in business and was also on the men's basketball team. After he received his undergraduate degree, Weber began attended the University of North Dakota, where he received his law degree.
Weber began working for the North Dakota Legislature as a clerk for the Senate Ag Committee. It was there that he found his calling.
"My time spent in the Legislature really solidified where I wanted to be. As a law clerk, I got to be a fly on the wall and see a lot of the commodity group leaders come in and lobby for farmers. That really solidified what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go. Shortly after that, I knew I wanted to be in the commodity group world," Weber said.
After spending some time with the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, as well as the North Dakota Soybean Council, Weber took a position with The Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association, where he still works today.
Weber is the executive director of the association and represents the sugar beet growers within the Red River Valley. Through this position he communicates with growers in the region, helps producers with crop insurance issues, studies the market, interacts with their partners in D.C., and much more.
Much like the rest of the agricultural industry, sugar beet producers have been having some tribulations as well.
"We're coming off of two really challenging harvests for us. Last year was actually a historic disaster for us. We left about 30% of our crop in the field for American Crystal. And it really hit our guys and Valley hard," Weber said.
However, things seem to be looking up for sugar beet growers this year and Weber is hopeful about the outcome.
"We are excited about this year's harvest and to get back in the fields, and do what we do best: make sugar," Weber said.
Weber is excited to see where the future of the ag industry is headed, and looks forward to seeing what advances come next.
"I think we always need to be optimistic looking into the future. Things are challenging on the farm. I am excited for the future in all of the ag industry. I am excited to see how we continue to grow and advance," Weber said.
As for the upcoming years for Weber in the industry, he hopes to stay with the Red River Valley Sugar beet Growers Association, with those memory-filled tractors still seated on his desk.
"Sugar beets have been a really big piece of our farm and our family. I hope to be here continuing to be the voice for sugar beet growers in the Red River Valley," Weber said.

Fancap: Nothing More than a Mild Burn
Upgrading the Pulse of the Purple & Gold
Morgan Cohen
Dwayne Wade complains that the world is getting what it wants when the Heat lose. Kobe Bryant practices by himself an hour after an excruciating loss. Chris Bosh sniffles at the podium and bemoans his lack of touches. Kobe Bryant works on the shot that didn't help his team last night but might help his team in the future. LeBron James tweets about going to war with his soldiers. Kobe Bryant is a bonafide general on the court and leads his teammates by example.
That is the cruci al difference between their team and ours. The Heat whine to anyone who will listen and through every available media outlet. The Lakers are taciturn by comparison and prefer to work on their issues in house and show the results on the court.
Obviously the Heat know how to win ballgames (some of the time), but it is always easier to win games than to lose games. I know, duh. But in all honesty you never know what kind of team you have until adversity hits. Real adversity. That is when you see what each guy is made of and whether they can rise to the challenge or wilt under its immense pressure.
This season for the Lakers has been one of their most challenging in recent memory as a championship contender. They have had more losing streaks and fought more complacency than years past. The bulls-eye on their back grows larger with everything that they accomplish, and that can be wearying. The media blasted them, the fans questioned them and everyone asked what was wrong with the Lakers?
Instead of calling each other out or taking to Twitter, they weathered the storm and banded together. They got their mental focus back and have showed the league over the past month why they are the two time defending champions.

ICC MENS T20 WORLD CUP 2021
ICC World T20, 2009
ReviewMatches
Netherlands stun England
The opening game, was and still is, arguably regarded as one of the best inaugural games in the history of World T20s so far. After rain delayed the proceedings, the hosts, who were put into bat, managed a competitive total - courtesy a 102-run opening stand. During the chase, the pendulum swung both ways and it all came down to 2 runs from the last ball. However, Broad's sloppy fielding and an overthrow meant Netherlands defeated England for the first time in international cricket.
England vs Netherlands
1st Match, Group B, London
Netherlands won by 4 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)
The clash between South Africa and Scotland is regarded as the most one-sided affair in the 2009 World T20. Scotland's Gavin Hamilton called it right at the toss but little did he knew about what was to come. The Protea batsmen, AB de Villiers in particular, made merry of the Scottish bowlers and recorded a mammoth 211 on the board. The chase never got going as wickets kept tumbling like a pack of cards. Eventually, Scotland were bundled out inside 16 overs offering South Africa a 130-run win.
Scotland vs South Africa
5th Match, Group D, London
South Africa won by 130 runs
South Africa choke New Zealand
If the opening game was a thriller, this game can be termed as a cliffhanger. South Africa, after being sent to bat, could only post a scanty 128 as none of their batsmen converted the start into a big one. While chasing, although Brendon McCullum anchored the chase with a well-compiled fifty, their approach proved to be a little too lacklustre towards the end. With 15 required from the final over, Wayne Parnell held his nerve and hit the right lines more often than not. When a four was needed from the final ball, Jacob Oram could only squeeze a double and South Africa, for a change, didn't choke in a pressure situation.
New Zealand vs South Africa
10th Match, Group D, London
South Africa won by 1 run
England diminish India's hopes
The highly-anticipated England-India clash went down to the wire. England posted a challenging 153 after being asked to bat first. Not many would have expected the target to be challenging but India certainly made the target look like one. In a must-win game, the Indian batsmen failed to handle pressure and the chase never looked steady. However, there was a brief moment of hope when Yusuf Pathan and MS Dhoni remained not out with 19 demanded off the final over. Although India pulled off 15 runs, lack of urgency in the middle overs cost the 2007 T20 champions a place in the knock-out stage.
England vs India
20th Match, Group E, London
England won by 3 runs
The same old story
South Africa's tag of being chokers became more obvious and painful as they failed to get through to the semis. Pakistan won the toss and batted first. Shahid Afridi's promotion to number 3 worked wonders as they posted a stiff 149 at the half-way mark. The pressure got the better of the Proteas as they kept sinking into the mire during their chase. Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy battled hard but the rest didn't turn up. In the end, South Africa fell short by 7 runs, allowing Pakistan to progress to the final for the second successive time.
1st Semi-Final, Nottingham
Pakistan won by 7 runs
Dil'scoops' Sri Lanka to final
A Tillakaratne Dilshan blitzkrieg followed by Angelo Mathews' massacre with the ball put paid to West Indies' hopes of playing their first final in a world event for a while. Sri Lanka were inserted to bat by Chris Gayle and Dilshan took full toll of some mediocre bowling. His 57-ball 96 was ably backed up by some top-class swing bowling from Mathews. He consumed 3 wickets in the first over (all of them were bowled) and since then West Indies never recovered. Sri Lanka cruised through to secure a spot in the World T20 final for the first time.
2nd Semi-Final, London
Sri Lanka won by 57 runs
Not many would have expected a final between two Asian sides given the swinging, seaming English conditions. Sri Lanka were undefeated (till the final game) and the purists went on to predict an easy win for them. After choosing to bat first, Sri Lanka lost their in-form batsman (Dilshan) for a duck in the first over. To aggravate matters, they lost 4 wickets inside 6 overs. A Sanga (Kumar Sangakkara) special helped them fetch a modest 138 and the last thing they needed was a counter-attack from BOOM BOOM (Shahid Afridi), who yet again played with purpose and panache to erase Pakistan's nightmare of losing to India during 2007 World T20 final. Pakistan deservedly emerged as champions in the second edition of the World T20 in England.
Pakistan vs Sri Lanka

Announcing that the sales of iPhones were up 50 per cent in India in fiscal 2016, Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that the Cupertino-based company is partnering with Reliance Jio to ensure great iPhone experience for its users.
"Reliance Jio is rolling out a first of its kind all-IP network in India with 4G coverage in 18,000 cities and 200,000 villages across the country. They're offering a free year of service to purchasers of new iPhones and we're partnering with them to ensure great iPhone performance on their network," Apple's CEO Tim Cook said during the company's earnings call on Tuesday night.
Even as the company marked the third straight quarter of declining iPhone sales posting quarterly revenues of $46.9 billion and quarterly net income of $9 billion -- down nearly 9 per cent from revenue of $51.5 billion and net income of $11.1 billion in the year-ago quarter, Cook said that the iPhone sales are up in India.
"Our iPhone sales in India were up over 50 per cent in the fiscal 2016 compared to the prior year and we believe we are just beginning to scratch the surface of this large and growing market opportunity," added Cook.
Earlier this month, Reliance Jio made its 4G services compatible for all Apple iPhones models, along with one year of free service.
The new offer coincided with the launch of new Apple phones in India -- the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus.

The Little Hours
CHICAGO – It occurred to me in assessing "The Little Hours" that the basic premise is somewhat like "The Beguiled" – a man is taken in, rooster-like, into a henhouse where there are women with "needs." Except this time, instead of a girl's boarding school, it is a 14th Century nunnery. Get thee to it, if thou wants to laugheth.

CHICAGO – There is nothing wrong with "The Smurfs" that a thousand volts of electricity couldn't cure. It is well made, looks good in the optional 3-D and has a competent cast trying their hardest. What it lacks is a spark, either of nostalgia or a fresh update, as it meanders with the seen-it-all-before template.
Low Grade on Report Card For 'Easy A' With Emma Stone

CHICAGO - "Easy A" is simply a hard film to swallow. Set in a high school on another planet, it wants everything and ends up giving very little. The cast is game - Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson, Stanley Tucci, Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow - but with few exceptions the players cannot handle the lead balloon banter that passes for jokey dialogue. It wants also to be a grand statement on gossip and those who get hurt by it, but perky Stone doesn't seem that affected.


The song is a bop but dang the choreo is all over the place and just messy.
No one noticed that Johnny almost fell down at 2:51 ?
진짜 미친 외모 아니냐 어떻게 다 모으냐 스엠..

Oh - Too Hot!! Johnny, Taeyong, Mark, Win-Win and one other cute one I don't know the name of. WOW.
Not 0:50, is on 0:49...!
THIS WAS REALLY TAEIL'S ERA!!! WITH THAT RED HAIR AND HIGH NOTE OF HIS HE WRECKED ME.
In M/V, Jaehyun looks so freaking hot and handsome. But in live performance, Taeyong, Mark, Taeil, and Yuta are more stunning. I need to be honest, their stage presence are the best among the others.
Why Johnny does'nt have lines on nct 127 and u ?
1:58 I hate jaehyun doing that..
I love Taeil "and now we're on the zone" part, the way he moves his head is satisfying to watch lmaooo❤ i try to do it and ended up like an idiot.
the song is a bop but i wish winwin had more lines :// he has a lot of potential and i wish sm would see it!
Is there only me, thinking that Haechan shines really really bright in this era ... His screen time are calm and can see his features clearly. DokiDoki..

Ashaiman MP's name missing from provisional voter register
byErnest Arhinful
Ernest Norgbey
The Member of Parliament for Ashaiman, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has raised red flags over some missing names on the provisional voters' register.
Ernest Norgbey, who couldn't find his name in the register in the ongoing exhibition exercise, claimed that 21,000 voters in his constituency have also had their names deleted from the electoral roll.
Mr. Norgbey further accused the Electoral Commission of deliberately removing such names from the register to disenfranchise some citizens.
"We have identified over 21,000 names that have been deleted from the register and it is just unfortunate that this has happened. We had a very peaceful registration in Ashaiman. There was no chaos. There was nothing untoward and at the end of the exercise, everything was smooth."
"So it shouldn't be that during the exhibition, our names will not be on the register, including myself, the MP of the constituency. It's just unfortunate that this is happening. Be that it may, it also appears that it's a deliberate attempt by the EC to remove certain categories of people from the register because if you look at the number of people from both the Volta Region and the Northern Region that have been deleted, it could be a deliberate attempt," he said in an interview on Eyewitness News.
He thus called on the EC to correct the anomaly as soon as possible to prevent any tension in the constituency.
Haruna Iddrisu disappointed over missing names on register
On the same issue, the Minority Leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, raised concerns that some residents who registered to vote have not been captured on the register.
"There are major discrepancies in the register and what has been made available to registered voters," he complained to the press.
According to the Minority Leader, he has "requested for a national compilation of these discrepancies in order to guide what will be [the Minority's] next possible action."
Mr. Iddrisu also expressed disappointment at the commission's inability to make available the Biometric Verification Devices (BVDs) for verification as part of the ongoing voter exhibition exercise.
According to him, since biodata was taken during the registration exercise, it is important for the EC to test the efficacy of the biometric verification machines since it will be used for the general elections as opposed to the manual checking of names.
"My significant disappointment is that the BVDs are conspicuously absent. Yet we have provided adequate budgetary allocation for the procurement of BVDs in quantities not less than 7,500."

Starz Steps up Global Monetization of Originals
A first-ever U.S. online-only SVOD deal with Amazon and new content licensing agreements with Netflix are the latest moves of the company led by CEO Chris Albrecht.

Starz on Wednesday unveiled a deal with Amazon, its first-ever U.S. subscription VOD content licensing deal with the company, for The White Queen.
The deal, exclusive versus other online-only subscription platforms, followed a deal that quietly made available Starz original series Spartacus and Magic City to Netflix subscribers in the U.S.
Starz licensed the complete Spartacus library to Netflix for the U.S., Canada, and other worldwide markets, starting Feb. 1, according to Starz executives. As in the case of the Amazon agreement, the deal is exclusive versus other online-only subscription platforms and allows the content to remain on the Starz On Demand and Starz Play services.

The company also licensed both seasons of Magic City to Netflix for the U.S., Canada, France, the Benelux countries and the Nordics. And in another deal with Netflix, Starz licensed The White Queen for France and the Nordics, according to Starz executives.

All the arrangements come as the premium TV company, led by CEO Chris Albrecht, continues to monetize its growing number of original series.
As Sterne Agee analyst Vasily Karasyov said late in 2014: "Original scripted programming is what drives value of a premium network."
"As we continue to increase the amount of content we have, we have more content to play with and can assess the best value for each piece of content," said Starz chief revenue officer Michael Thornton about the recent slew of digital deals. "We give it to our subscribers, then extract value from linear or SVOD platforms."
Asked about the recent deals, Mara Winokur, senior vp digital at Starz said: "We have more shows, we have bigger shows, more widely released shows. It's a natural evolution."
How does Starz choose the best partner for each show? "They have a sense for what they really want. We combine that with what is the best value of monetization and the best strategic value for us," Winokur said. "We look at what is the best syndication, because in our mind, this is all syndication."
For example, in the case of Spartacus, Syfy was interested, so Starz went linear with the show on Syfy first, then agreed to make it available on Netflix, she explained. In the case of The White Queen, Winokur and Thornton said Amazon seemed the better fit due to its user base. They said women using Amazon Prime would be a key audience for the show.
With the number of digital video companies having expanded, "it becomes a little more complicated" to decide where to take content, Thornton acknowledged.

And while some things change from deal to deal, certain basics stay the same. For example, Winokur said "each deal is different," but Starz in all deals retains the right to make available originals on its Starz services.
Does Starz approach digital licensing deals differently in the U.S. and international territories? The company executives said since Starz has channels in the U.S., there are different strategic considerations than in the rest of the world, except for the similar Canadian market.
Is Starz looking for possible global rights deals with single online platforms on its originals? "We would not rule out global rights deals," Winokur said. "The problem is we don't know which territories [partners like Netflix] will go into, so we would specify markets in deals."
Starz may also consider content package deals with digital players in the future to give them access for a big part of its originals portfolio. "We can't rule anything out," Winokur said. "But right now we are looking at deals on a title-for-title basis."
Time Warner's HBO last year, for example, struck a multi-year deal for its originals with Amazon Prime. But HBO has a deeper original content library to play with. "HBO had an entire library of content," Winokur said. "We are still developing and growing the new series we have. Once we have an even bigger library, maybe we'll do a packaged deal. But we won't hold up deals."
Among the new Starz original shows in 2015 are the likes of Ash vs. Evil Dead and The Girlfriend Experience, an anthology series based on the Steven Soderbergh film, and they will only add to Starz's monetization efforts.
Asked about interest in the Evil Dead show, Winokur said: "Outside of the U.S., we have already gotten inquiries."
Starz used to have a much-maligned Netflix deal that came to an end in early 2012. Critics said Netflix got Starz content, including Disney and Sony movies, on the cheap at the time. Since then, Netflix has had some Starz shows, but no major ones, making the recent Netflix deals for Starz originals particularly interesting.

"I personally wasn't at Starz when the Netflix deal ran its course," Thornton said. "I think we learned from our mistakes and are much more cognizant about how it affects our other customers and want to be sensitive to them. We are really looking at extracting the value for our customers and our producers." Now that Starz has more originals, the time seemed right for deals for select shows, he added.
Winokur said digital content deals not only bring in undisclosed revenue, but also help promote the Starz brand and channels. "Spartacus on Netflix enables people to see it's a show from Starz," she said. "So they may say 'I wonder what else Starz has.' This is additional marketing to a crowd that may not be aware of what we have."
While Starz doesn't comment on the price tags of licensing deals, Winokur and Thornton said value is mostly driven by the company's channels. Said Winokur: "When a show is successful on the channel, it helps the price."

Tulsa is known as the gateway to Green Country, because it is nestled between the Arkansas River and the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in northeast Oklahoma.

Today, after the oil bust of the 1980s and an economic depression, Tulsa is back and booming more than ever. The city for the most part has diversified its economic base to focus on new energy, finance, aviation, telecommunications and technology.

Tesla starts selling 'short shorts': It's true! Tesla starts selling R...
Tesla starts selling 'short shorts': It's true!
By Shantonil Nag
Elon Musk is known to keep his promises and after he promised to produce a pair of "short shorts" to mark his triumph against the investors who had bet against the Tesla Inc, he has now unveiled the item on Sunday. The Tesla official website now has a new short on sale that is listed amongst the other branded apparel from the car manufacturing company. A pair of Tesla Short Shorts has a price tag of $69.420.
The "420" is a likely reference to the $420 per share price that he offered the stakeholders in 2018 to take the company private. The series of tweets from Elon Musk triggered off a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit.
The satin shorts sold by Tesla are limited edition. The product description says: "Run like the wind or entertain like Liberace with our red satin and gold trim design. Enjoy exceptional comfort from the closing bell."
Limited edition short shorts now available at https://t.co/5EmNcTBvJv
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 5, 2020
Elon Musk has joked about "short shorts", taking a dig at those people who have been selling (it's called shorting in stock market terminology) Tesla stock in the hope that it will fall further. The short sellers also includes the hedge fund manager David Einhorn. Musk has not mentioned much about the shorts or many pieces will be available to the customers but soon after the Tweet from Elon Musk on the shorts, the official website of Tesla saw an unprecedented hike in the traffic the site malfunctioned for a short while too. Buy shorts on Amazon!
The shorts have the initials of the Tesla models, "S3XY". The Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y. Tesla wanted to launch the Model E but since the Model E is an iconic name and the rights of use are with Ford, the model could not be launched.
Tesla officially reported that they have registered higher than expectation delivered in the second quarter of this financial year. It is a new record made by the manufacturer. It should also be noted that Tesla is now the most valuable carmaker in the world and has displaced Toyota from the position.
In 2018, Elon Musk announced the launch of a flamethrower branded by his other company – The Boring Company. The flamethrower was sold within minutes of launch and all 20,000 units were delivered to various customers despite a warning from the Home Office department and the US politicians.
Currently, Tesla is working to launch the Cybertruck, which was unveiled recently and is said to be one of the toughest pick-up trucks ever made. The new truck is all-electric and looks like it has arrived from the future. The Tesla cars are not officially available in the Indian market yet but there are many who have imported the cars and are driving on the roads.

Biden Shows Little Appetite for Haiti's Troop Request
This mission was seen as a success, even if it was hardly able to solve the deep-seated problems of Haiti. According to a 2013 study by the non-partisan RAND Corporation that said Haiti welcomed the mission to "continue indefinitely" and that it "could easily have evolved into a longer engagement" was "at risk of it Mission creeps in ". .
With the use of American soldiers, Mr. Biden would grapple with other problems. It's one thing to send troops after an epic natural disaster. It is different to step into an environment of political chaos, intrigue and dueling claims to power – not to mention marauding armed gangs. Many Haitians, aware of their country's colonial and slavery history, already complain that their policies have been shaped by predominantly white foreign powers.
In 1915, the assassination of a Haitian president resulted in President Woodrow Wilson ordering US marines to invade the country, which began two decades of American occupation and unrest.
Some prominent Haitians were quick to reject their government's request.
"Absolutely not. We don't want US troops, US boots, US uniforms, none of that," Monique Clesca, a Haitian writer and civil society activist, told CNN on Saturday. "Because Haitians are in Haiti due to the occupation of the country Having been traumatized by the United States for 34 years, we don't want US intervention or troops or anything. "
"The international community is complicit in what is going on in Haiti," added Ms. Clesca.
Another deterrent to Biden is the seemingly vague nature of Haiti's request, including what is expected of American troops.
"The best approach in Haiti is for the United States to turn to either the United Nations, the Organization of American States, or a coalition of Latin American nations for a stability force," said James G. Stavridis, a retired four-star admiral and a former head of the Pentagon's Southern Command.
"But from a military point of view, it is very unlikely to enter the island, especially as we are completing operations in Afghanistan," he added.
