USDA GAIN: Burma Grain and Feed Annual 2013
BM1054 - Burma's rice paddy production and exports are expected to increase in MY 2012/2013. Corn production is expected to expand due to strong demand from domestic and Chinese feed mills. Wheat imports are expected to grow as consumers change their food preferences and exports of beans and pulses are expected to continue strong due to demand from India.
Rice Milled
In MY 2012/2013, rice paddy production is likely to increase by 2.6 percent to 17.3 MMT. Burma's rice production system is plagued by a series of internal and external shocks. The decline in global rice prices has hit Burmese farmers hard as they are currently selling rice at or below production cost.
In MY2012/2013, Post adjusted production up to 17.3 MMT from 16.9 MMT as yields increased to 2.7 MT/HA due to an increase in summer rice planting area. In MY 2013/2014 production is expected to increase to 19.8 MMT or a 14 percent increase from MY 2012/2013. In MY 2013/14, rice production area is expected to increase to 7.0 million HA as farmers shift their cultivation to summer rice varieties that are better suited for the dry season and also meets Chinese consumer demands. Expected yields should increase by 3.7 percent as investments in post-harvesting practices improve.
In MY2012/13 total consumption is estimated at 10.6 MMT for milled rice and 11.7 MMT for MY2013/2014. The basis for these projections are two percent population growth rate, a per capita consumption of 180 kg/year for the 61 million Burmese in 2012, and 103 kilogram/HA of seed usage.
In MY 2012-2013, Burmese rice exports are estimated to increase 15 percent to 690,000 MT from 600,000MT. Burma's exports have slowed due to the re-emergence of India in the non-basmati trade and it is losing market share in its traditional markets of Bangladesh, the Philippines, and West Africa. Post expects this trend to continue through MY 2013/2014.
In MY 2011/2012, Burma's rice exports totaled 600,000 tons, a 23 percent decrease from 2010/2011. Although exporters faced an appreciating currency with respect to the dollar, the government provided relief by reducing the export tax from ten to zero percent. Despite the tax relief, however, India's reemergence in the non-basmati trade has slowed Burmese exports significantly in the last trimester of MY 2011/2012.
Production Policy
The lack of government support has put Burmese farmers at a competitive disadvantage with some of its ASEAN counterparts, such as Thai and Vietnamese farmers who receive government support to compensate for lower prices. Burmese farmers do receive assistance from Agricultural Development Companies (ADC), which are private sector entities that provide low interest loans to farmers. However, due to the high rate of loan defaults, the ADC has reduced its original budget of $100 million in MY2010/2011 to $25 million in MY2011/2012. Bad weather, flooding, and untimely rains during the harvest season have affected farmers' rice production, consequently, preventing them from generating revenues to repay their loans.
Corn production acreage in Burma continues to increase due to increased demand from domestic and Chinese feed industries. This trend is likely to continue as more farmers profit by growing hybrid corn rather than growing competing crops. Yields have also increased due to higher use of hybrid seeds, which have been aggressively introduced into Burma by private companies such as the Charoen Pokphand Group (CP) from Thailand. Since most of the hybrid corn is grown in rain fed areas with low inputs, corn yields remain lower than the potential yield of 5 MT/HA.
In MY 2012/2013, corn production increased 15 percent to 1.5 MMT compared to 1.3 MMT during the previous year. In MY 2013/14 Burma's corn production is forecast to increase to 1.8 MMT from 1.5 MMT as the planting area is likely to increase by 17 percent to 450,000 HA. Average yields are likely to increase to 4.0 MT/HA driven by better seeds, higher demand from domestic and Chinese feed mills, and an increase in contract farming, particularly with CP/Thailand.
In MY 2013/14, domestic corn consumption is forecast to grow to 1.4 MMT. Feed consumption accounts for an estimated 78 percent of the total corn production as livestock, particularly poultry, and aquaculture producers are increasingly substituting traditional livestock feed with compound corn feeds. Most of the corn supplies go to commercial mills in Rangoon, Mandalay, and Shan State primarily for feed use in contract farming systems. Additionally, in some hill regions like Chin State and drier parts of the country, corn is used as a staple food and a substitute for rice when it becomes too scarce or expensive.
In MY 2012/13, Burma's corn exports are likely to increase 45 percent to 289,000 MT due to higher demand from domestic and Chinese feed mills. In 2011/2012, 75 percent of Burma's total corn exports went to China. However, most of the trade goes through informal channels and is not officially recorded. Indonesia and Malaysia are also leading destinations for Burmese corn exports accounting for 25 percent of total exports.
Burmese wheat is primarily grown at a subsistence level in the Sagaing Division and Shan State using seeds from harvested grain. These regions have limited rainfall, thus, yields are nominal around 1.7 MT/HA.
In MY 2012/13, Burma is likely to produce 185,000 MT of wheat from 105,000 HA. In MY 2013/2014 wheat production is expected to increase as the private Burmese wheat importer, Diamond Star, enters into more contract wheat farming with growers in Shan State and provides advanced growing methods to increase productivity. Overall, wheat production in Burma is minimal due to the limited areas that are suitable for growing wheat.
Consumption of wheat flour in 2013/14 is forecast to increase 11 percent to 490,000 MT due to increased population growth and changing food preferences.
Local wheat production is unable to meet local consumer demands, thus, imports have risen over time. In MY 2010/2011, Burma imported the first shipment of U.S. wheat since 2001. In MY2012/13, Burma is likely to import 256,000 MT of wheat. Ninety percent of imported wheat comes from Australia and 10 percent from the United States, Pakistan, and India.
In MY2012/ 2013, Burma is expected to import another 15,000 MT of wheat from the United States. The leading private wheat importers are Diamond Star and OK Brothers. The two companies have a 99 percent share of the market.
Production of beans and pulses in Burma is mainly based on residual soil moisture left from the monsoon season after the main rice crop has been harvested. Average yields are between 1.1 to 1.2 MT/HA. Similar to wheat production, farmers use seeds from harvested crops to grow beans and pulses resulting in poor quality and small yields.
In MY 2013/2014, Burma's bean and pulse production is estimated at 4.8 MMT, up 1.2 percent due to an increase in production area. Burma is expected to produce 4.7 MMT of beans and pulses in MY 2012/13, up 5.5 percent from MY 2011/2012 due to an increase in cultivation area.
In MY 2013/2014, consumption is expected to remain at 3.3 MMT.
In MY 2013/14 Burma's bean and pulse exports are forecast to reach 1.5 million tons, an increase of 7 percent from MY 2012/2013 due to greater demand from India. In MY 2012/13, India is likely to remain the largest market for Burma's bean and pulse exports, however, demand from China is also likely to increase. Burma's bean and pulse farmers face increasing challenges as global prices continue to decline and climate conditions fluctuate.
There is no policy for beans and pulses.

In the recent decision of Bunnings Group Pty Ltd v Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd & Anor  WASC 132, it was held that the failure to lodge a caveat will not of itself operate to deprive a prior equitable interest of its priority status. The subsequent charge holder was the first in time to lodge a caveat but – critically – when it assumed the right that would give rise to a charge it had not conducted any title search. In the recent decision of LTDC v Cashflow the Supreme Court of New South Wales has given guidance as to those circumstances where a failure by a party to lodge a caveat will operate to displace the 'first in time' rule.


We can integrate Sugar and Zendesk with this integration. It even works with Sugar Community edition 6.5. Their support engineer is awesome and went through the effort. Thanks Chad.
ZenDesk integration was one of the things that attracted us to SugarCRM, and it was a real setback when ZenDesk discontinued their native support. Fortunately this add-on is really great, probably better than the original native integration from ZenDesk. And the developers are excellent - they really went out of their way to collaborate with ZD users that were left out in the cold and deliver what they said they wanted.
Thank you Mark! It is much appreciated. I'm glad we're able to help you out with the integration!

Xcel Energy officials came to Boulder on Tuesday to update the county commissioners on management practices now and into the future for toxic coal ash at Xcel's Valmont power plant in east Boulder.
The toxic nature of coal ash — waste created after coal burning, containing arsenic, mercury, lead and other chemicals that can be harmful to people — is in theory of no concern to Boulder County citizens, as long as it's contained adequately.
That containment was the subject of Tuesday's meeting. Xcel ceased coal-burning at Valmont in 2017, and the safe disposal of ash is a required follow-up to that closure.
Officials from both Xcel and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment confirmed at the meeting that the disposal practices have, in fact, been adequate.
But the commissioners stressed that citizens often have no idea how to keep tabs on coal ash in Boulder County, and that the available reports on the topic are difficult to parse.
"It's really hard to look at that data and understand, as a layperson, what the conclusion is," Commissioner Elise Jones said to Xcel officials on hand. "If the conclusion of the data is all standards are being met ... or whatever the take-home point is, is there any way that can be reflected in an easily accessible or understandable way?"
Xcel and the state health department do provide and update reports, though Commissioner Deb Gardner said she had a hard time mining anything comprehensible out of them. Xcel's Craig Eicher, the company's director for Boulder, told the commissioners he would refer them reports on coal ash in the future in a direct way.
The update was scheduled at the request of Leslie Glustrom, a Boulder environmental advocate with Clean Energy Action and a frequent critic of Xcel.
Glustrom is perhaps the most outspoken supporter of Boulder's ongoing bid to separate from Xcel — the city's longtime electric provider — and form a new, greener, city-run utility.
She said she also hasn't been able to sort through the available reports.
"I still feel this issue is very difficult to follow from a citizen's point of view," she said. "It would be really lovely to have a very user-friendly report, not just with a few lines of text that say, 'We're in complete compliance,' but with some graphs about EPA requirements and (Xcel) levels so people can visually scan it."
Glustrom said the process of coal ash disposal and containment is worth following, even if it's not well-known to most citizens.
"The thing about coal ash is it's perfectly fine — until it's not. And then when it's not, you have one glorious mess," she said. "Coal ash has a lot of arsenic and lead and heavy metals, and heavy metals are sort of forever. So while I truly appreciate everything Xcel is proposing to do, it's a really serious issue. And that issue is going to be forever."
Xcel's Valmont plant originally had six units. Its last coal-burning unit was retired last year, which means there is now just one unit active at the plant — a 47-megawatt gas-fired unit.
That unit, among other operations at the plant, will remain active, said Jeff West, Xcel's director of environmental services, "without any change that we can foresee in the foreseeable future."
The commissioners and Xcel officials discussed whether potential federal rollbacks of coal ash regulations could lower the standards the company must meet at Valmont. The officials on hand said they believed that state laws are strict enough that federal rollbacks would not change Xcel's course, though West did say the company might be open to discussing an agreement with the county to solidify those standards locally.

A Labour revival must tap into the energy for change on the ground
The party needs to reconnect with working-class self-help, and leave behind the Big State
'Do you know who we never see round here?' he asked. 'The left.' Dumbiedykes housing estate in Edinburgh. Photograph: Iain Masterton/Alamy Stock Photo

Ten days before the election, I was in the Dumbiedykes estate in Edinburgh, a high-rise scheme a few minutes' walk from the Scottish parliament, where a shrinking working-class community is hanging on in the face of gentrification. The neighbourhood, which had a Labour MP until 2010, is the headquarters of an organisation called Edinburgh Helping Hands, whose motto is "Solidarity not charity": its work runs from giving children in the city free bikes, through football and boxing training, to basic help with the most urgent aspects of poverty.
Its co-founder, Jim Slaven, was readying himself for a food-bank collection at Hibernian FC that would bring in huge amounts of provisions, donated by a constant stream of fans bringing bulging carrier bags. But before he set off, he walked us round his estate, and put its experiences in the context of politics. "Do you know who we never see round here?" he asked. "The left."
When I worked on films for the Guardian's Anywhere But Westminster series with my colleague John Domokos during this election, a big part of our plan was to cover the kind of community initiatives that Helping Hands exemplifies. The aim was partly to ensure that the stories we told always contained a large element of hope. But as we went on, we were also struck by the gap between what was happening on the ground and the distant noise of national politics.
The point Labour missed was that change is already happening, and its role should be to encourage and accelerate it
A week before our trip to Scotland, we had been in Grimsby, in a seat the Labour party would soon lose to the Tories after 74 years of dominance. We spent an afternoon on the Nunsthorpe estate, at Centre4, a trailblazing project housed in a former secondary school that does everything from funding new businesses to working on loneliness and social isolation. As in many of the projects we visited, most of the volunteers and activists were women, many of whom were so adrift from politics and the rituals of the election as to think that they were almost irrelevant.
One woman we spoke to ran a charitable florist, aimed at bringing people a bit of what she called affordable beauty. "I feel very disillusioned with the parliamentary process," she said. "I think we need a new party of some kind. I just don't think they pay any attention to the north." People in her town, she told us, wanted to see "actual, tangible transformations" and be directly involved in changing where they lived as a matter of personal pride. The problem was that this was something that national politicians seemed barely to understand.
Three days after Labour's crushing defeat, these encounters feel even more loaded with meaning. Even at the time, they spoke volumes about Labour's predicament: if even people so driven to help their communities were uninterested in what the party had to say, was it really surprising that it seemed to be losing voters in their droves? But our conversations also highlighted Labour's lack of roots in many of its supposed heartlands, and its weak relationships with modern successors to the kind of working-class self-help on which the party was built. If Labour is to have any hope of revival, this is where it has to start.
Anywhere but Westminster: how Labour lost, and the hope that endures – video
This is complex, nuanced stuff. Plenty of Labour members and activists are involved in such grassroots initiatives, and some of Corbyn's allies set great store by the idea of "community organising". But the latter have never really seemed to get beyond the idea that trying to get involved in people's everyday lives is a good electoral strategy. And besides, Corbynism's promise of change was always let down by the sense of distant people at the top with no feel for the pulse of the country they wanted to govern.
Many of the reasons for last week's defeat have already become cliches, though that does not dilute their truth: people's dismay with Corbyn's leadership, the effectiveness of the Tory slogan "get Brexit done", the fact that Labour's relationship with its old, working-class base has been fraying for decades. But other parts of the story are still in danger of being overlooked. On the national stage, when Corbyn's Labour tried to speak to the party's old heartlands, it rarely found a register beyond a condescending narrative about decay and hopelessness, and the idea that only politicians in London could help: part and parcel of Labour's enduring centralism, and a belief in the unreconstructed state that was ingrained in the old-fashioned hard-left politics Corbyn brought with him.
Late last year, for instance, the party unveiled a party political broadcast and online video titled Our Town. It was acclaimed at the time as a bold step into new political territory, and it was undeniably emotive and affecting – but its narration reduced complex and nuanced realities to melodramatic tropes about abject decline. "These streets were once full of spirit, and hope … years of austerity have ripped the heart out of this place … we lost the factories, we lost the jobs, we lost confidence in our community." The film turned on the promise that "change is coming", before cutting to images of the party leader, as if he was the only person who could help. The point Labour missed was that change is already happening, all over the country, and one of its roles should be to encourage and accelerate it. Instead, it offered a cold political giganticism, which might have sounded convincing in the age of the factory and the grand national plan, but was quickly found wanting.
Labour needs to be open to people from beyond its usual circles, keen to learn, and ready to listen to voices it might find discomfiting. In that context, rules and structures are part of what needs to be looked at, but there are far more important questions of culture, and the party's collective mindset. Many of the people who joined the party in response to Corbyn's arrival at the top were not the credulous disciples a lot of people might imagine. But nonetheless, the party's outward image strayed dangerously close to surreal devotion to one man, a tendency to treat any criticism as heresy, and a fondness for political arcana and faction-fighting that were always going to repel far more people than Corbynism attracted.
Labour's 'red wall' is looking shaky. But the problems started decades ago | John Harris
Over the weekend, I put in a call to a Labour person who won. Luke Pollard is the spirited, energetic MP for Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, a rare red dot in an ocean of Tory blue, and part of a working-class city where 60% of voters backed leave. From the outside, people might assume that the presence of thousands of university students in his seat is its defining feature, but he also represents large areas with the same basic features as the places Labour lost. His local party, he says, is "mixed": there are Momentum members and self-styled moderates, and "a lot of people who don't really back one side or the other". He has activists who are involved in youth clubs, and homelessness initiatives. One of his local party's key assets is the presence of former teachers, who often have a strong connection to many of the people on whose doors they regularly knock.
Crucially, the Labour party in Plymouth takes its place in a web of social enterprises and co-operative organisations, many of which have been fostered by its endlessly innovative Labour council. Pollard has campaigned against defence cuts that would have a dire effect on the local economy, and on the dangers of local tower blocks with Grenfell-type cladding, all publicised via Facebook videos that his constituents often mention without prompting. When last Thursday's exit poll came through, he feared he was about to lose his seat. But in seven of the eight council wards in his seat, he came top. Somewhere in all that is the beginning of hope, and lessons Labour has to learn as a matter of urgency.

61 people are looking at this charter.
The term "offshore" varies greatly based on which captain in which part of the world you ask but it's generally accepted that when you can't see land any more, you're offshore. You're looking at fishing waters from 50' to several hundred feet deep, although after 300' it's considered deep sea fishing. With great depths, come great sea beasts – offshore is where the hottest saltwater action happens!
The species you can go offshore fishing for vary greatly, from delicious bottom-feeders to the most prestigious pelagic predators. Many anglers have at least one bluewater beast on their bucket list, with good reason! Offshore fishing is one of the most exciting activities you can do in the deep blue. All sorts of Tuna, Sailfish, Swordfish, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Tilefish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and many, many others give fishers a fight of a lifetime and long-lasting memories.
You can hook up offshore fish using a wide range of different styles, depending on the species you're targeting as well as the part of the world you're fishing in.
Trolling is one of the most popular offshore fishing techniques, not by chance. This style of angling revolves around you dragging bait behind the boat to attract baitfish and predators alike. Your boat acts as a big lure, thanks to the noise your engine makes and the wake you create. Trolling setups are different from captain to captain but they all work the same way: you want as many lines in the water as possible, spaced out evenly. To this end, having many rod holders, outriggers, downriggers, and other equipment will increase your chances of getting a strike. Choosing the right speed, bait, and line placement determines how successful you'll be. All of this preparation and required knowledge pays off: Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Billfish, and many other top-tier pelagic fish can be caught while trolling.
A new technique in North America, kite fishing was most likely invented in the Polynesian Islands. This style is kind of like trolling, in the air. You deploy a kite (or several, if you're a pro!) from your boat and allow it to carry the bait far out. The bait will splash around as the kite allows it to just barely touch the surface of the water. This is almost irresistible to Marlin, Sailfish, and other Billfish – getting multiple hookups in a single day is the norm. This technique is so effective that it's been banned in several bluewater fishing tournaments – which speaks volumes about just how good it is.
Although it's arguably one of the most difficult offshore fishing techniques around, landing a Tuna on the fly is a memory you'll keep forever! It takes practice, knowledge, and lots of patience but fly fishing offshore fish is a viable style that'll make all of your angling friends jealous. Make sure to get the heaviest line you possibly can, since you won't have any weights. You want to bring heavy-duty rods between 8 and 12 wt – you're going after some big beasts, after all. Big fish require big gear, so bring large flies and big hooks to have the best chance at a strike. Attracting fish to the boat can be done in several ways: some anglers prefer to chum the water to bring the fish from the depths and then present their flies. Others combine trolling with fly fishing – you entice the predator by trolling and then do a bait-and-switch by present the fly at the right time. You can land a variety of species on the fly offshore, from Bluefin Tuna, across various Billfish, to the colorful Mahi Mahi.
Deep dropping is basically bottom fishing turned up to 11. One of the most important pieces of equipment for deep dropping is an electric reel – reeling in 800' of line by hand is challenging, to say the least! This style generally refers to fishing the bottom at depths of 350' to 1200'. Everything is amped up, your weights will weigh from 3 lb to 10 lb or even 15 lb. Rigs usually have between 3 and 5 hooks on them and the line has to be very strong as well. Using wire leaders (dozens of feet of wire leader in fact) is recommended as some of the bottom-dwelling beasts can easily slice your line. Some of the most delicious fish can be caught this way like Red Snapper, Tilefish, Barrelfish, various Groupers, and more.
Since the oceans cover 71% of the planet's surface, offshore fishing is practically a given on Earth! However, several locations have capitalized on their bluewater bounty and have a strong angling infrastructure. It's like a well-oiled machine whose sole purpose is to put you on the hottest offshore bite.
"The World's Luckiest Fishing Village" – it's not called that by accident. Destin's fantastic location allows captains to be out in the deep waters after a short boat ride from the marina. Launching from Destin, you're almost guaranteed to experience some of the finest bluewater fishing that the Gulf of Mexico has to offer: Red Snapper, Sailfish, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, to name just a few species. The captains there are well-versed in the art of hooking into offshore beasts and they'll happily take you on an adventure!
Nestled at the southernmost tip of Baja California, Cabo San Lucas is one of the hottest launching points for offshore action on the Pacific side of North America. Thousands of anglers flock to this fishing hotspot every year in pursuit of Roosterfish, Sailfish, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and many other iconic offshore species. Start your day on the blue and end it on a palm-covered beach – tough to beat that for a day in Mexico!
North Queensland holds one of the most important bluewater fishing destinations in the world – Cairns. It's famous worldwide for its heavy tackle deep sea fishing. But there's a lot more to it. Juvenile Black Marlin, huge Spanish and King Mackerel, Sailfish, and many other species are regularly caught offshore throughout the year. This destination is so popular that Cairns fishing charters are often booked many months in advance, sometimes a full year!
Your tropical vacation will get even hotter if you head out with a Bahamian captain into the deep blue! Dozens of charters with top-tier captains take anglers out in search of Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and many other species. Spend the day wetting your lines and the nights enjoying the beach – what more could you want out of a visit to the Bahamas?
The sea has attracted mankind since time immemorial – you can see just why we love the pull of the blue once you lose the sight of land and all you see is that gorgeous pearlescent horizon. If you've never fished offshore before, you have to at least give it a try – you'll most likely be hooked straight away, just ask any old sea wolf.


Communicating with grace and truth to our children – I Commend Joy!
Below is a great interchange in which C.J. Mahaney responds to a father's email on being to hard on his children, so hard he worries that he will be a barrier to them seeing God's love through him. I encourage you to read it for growth and practical ways to not be a barrier.
Thanks for your message from Jude on Sunday. It is always a privilege to hear God's Word through you. I am reminded of His grace to me through the truths preached by you over decades now.
When you noted how we often have hard thoughts of God and fail to appreciate His initiating love, I immediately thought of my example and communication about God to my kids. And when you asked at the end, "What are you most worried about?", I think it is that I will hinder my children from knowing that God not only rightly expects their obedience and submission—a bar they cannot possibly reach—but also that he loves them as a Father so deeply that He sent His son for them.
I am afraid they do have hard thoughts of God and that's largely because of my own sinfulness (anger, impatience, anxiety), which I am eager to continue killing by the Spirit. But apart from that, the question I have is, how do we as parents insist that our children obey us in the Lord without cultivating hard thoughts of Him?
Grateful for any thoughts you would have on this.
This a great question that I can't possibly cover fully in one email. But here are a few thoughts that I hope are helpful.
My friend, if you follow the example of our gracious God, your children will not have hard thoughts about him. They will have accurate thoughts about him—and a deep love for you.
I hope these brief thoughts help, John.


The overall objective is to determine whether Streptomyces isolates producing both chitinase and antibiotics can provide control of the Zebra Chip (ZC) psyllid vector Bactericera cockerelli and/or the ZC causing bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (Lso) by incubating the insects treated with selected Streptomyces strains and introducing them into growing potato plants. 1. Confirm production of chitinases and one or more antibiotics in 10-20 (nonpathogenic) Streptomyces isolates. 2. Devise methods of delivering Streptomyces to psyllids harboring Lso, introducing Streptomyces-treated psyllids to growing potato plants, and monitor reduction in ZC symptoms in potato in field cage experiments. 3. Assess effect of Streptomyces on survival of Lso-infected potato psyllids.
We propose a strategy for controlling both psyllids and the ZC-causing bacteria (Lso) that they vector, based on vulnerability to chitinases and antibiotics produced and secreted by most Streptomyces species. Streptomyces produce chitinase that could degrade the insect exoskeleton and the insect peritrophic membrane required for insect digestion, both of which are made of chitin. Streptomyces species are also major sources of numerous antibiotics that could be bacteriostatic or bacteriocidal to Lso harbored in the insect's digestive system. Our objective is to determine whether Streptomyces isolates producing both chitinase and antibiotics can provide control for Bactericera and/or Lso, and hence ZC, by incubating the insects treated with selected Streptomyces strains and introducing them into growing potato plants. Objective 1 (Wanner). Spores of 3 Streptomyces isolates with high and 2 with modest chitinase activity that produce one or more antibiotics will be prepared in MD and shipped to Texas AgriLife in Weslaco, TX (Henne Lab). A different set of 5 Streptomyces isolates will be prepared and shipped to USDA-ARS Wapato in WA (Munyaneza lab) for use in Objectives 2 and 3. Objective 2 (Munyaneza, Henne). A membrane feeding technique described by Abernathy (1991) will be used to introduce Streptomyces into potato psyllids; the field cage assays will be conducted at USDA-ARS Wapato and at Texas AgriLife Weslaco. Following Streptomyces acquisition, the Lso-infected psyllids will be transferred onto caged healthy potato plants (cultivar Atlantic), 3 psyllids/plant under field conditions will consist of caged plants exposed to psyllids from Lso-infected colonies without exposure to Streptomyces. Caged plants without psyllids will be used as negative controls. Each treatment will be replicated 3 times (cages). Psyllids will be introduced to plants at tuber initiation (ca. 4-5 weeks after sprouting). The plants in the cages will be monitored for aboveground ZC symptoms. At harvest, tubers will be collected from each plant, and ZC incidence and severity will be estimated (Munyaneza et al. 2007a, b). Tubers will also be tested by PCR to confirm Lso infection and titer, and to confirm presence of the Streptomyces strains. Objective 3 (Munyaneza, Henne). To assess effects of Streptomyces on survival of potato psyllids, Lso-infected psyllids will be allowed to acquire Streptomyces as described above. Following acquisition, 50 psyllids will be individually transferred to potato cuttings/whole leaves inserted into water-filled vials. Fifty additional Lso-infected psyllids not exposed to Streptomyces but fed with 5% sucrose will be kept individually and used as controls. Psyllids will be maintained in the laboratory at 28°C, checked daily for mortality, with survival tabulated at harvest. Potato foliage will be replaced as needed. Results will demonstrate the potential of Streptomyces as a biocontrol agent against ZC in caged field studies; this may provide a new and potentially sustainable method for mitigating Zebra Chip. If successful, larger scale experiments will be devised for field trials.


"Managing PPC for Multiple Clients" had for me the pleasure of being a "slow-burn" of a session at SES Chicago.
For those unfamiliar with a term I may or may not have created, it means that it did not leave an immediately strong impression on me, until I later was fortunate enough to review the notes I had taken.
So what was is it that resonated with me most about this session upon further reflection?
Even more so than the notion of managing PPC accounts, it was the notion of "managing".
We can sometimes forget in this industry that when dealing with such new methods that we really must focus on managing client expectations each step of the way.
For instance, Rosza brought up a great point when discussing how to offer PPC counsel. PPC, while helping to secure online real estate, is by no means a magic wand towards achieving lagging business goals. Going out on a limb, he challenged attendees to spend time and capital trying to increase results for what's already converting. In other words, if something doesn't convert, is it truly the most effective thing to spend your marketing budget on?
In the end, it comes down to knowing your client's business and knowing your clients' goals. While keeping these firmly in check, we can make even stronger recommendations based on what we've seen work in the past with other clients possessing similar objectives.
Taking this, it's also important to counsel that in our past experience (and this will nearly always be the case) that nothing happens overnight. Especially with a tactic like PPC, knowledge is gained through experience, testing, and testing again.
By understanding that everything is subject to test before success, and, as Naegar put it, not being afraid to fail as much as you succeed, recommendations to our clients will only become stronger as our methods only become more revolutionary.

Creative writing workshop: It's all talk!
By Teresa Saunders — education journalist and children's writer
Help children to bring their characters to life using dialogue to convey their feelings and personality
It's not what they say it's the way that they say it! Ogres roar and rage, witches croak and cackle, ugly sisters shriek and squabble. One of the most challenging parts of creating characters is putting words into their mouths. Our language offers an endless variety of words to convey mood, tone of voice, feelings or intentions in any given situation. The secret of strong, lively dialogue is to select words that breathe life into the characters and drive the story along, unwrapping each character's personality and motives as it progresses. This enables the writer to build a strong relationship with readers and allows the readers to react with empathy, emotion, understanding and enjoyment.
What characters say – and how they say it – can be manipulated to provoke certain actions, reactions or events. Minds or directions can be changed. Relationships can flourish or be ruined. Endings can be happy or sad.
Before the children start to write, encourage vocabulary investigations that will help them to explore the huge range of language available to describe dialogue – from lively verbs and adverbs to synonyms and alliteration. Increase their confidence and imagination with speaking and listening activities, based on conversation, discussion, debate and even disagreement. Challenge them to think about how speech defines a character's temperament, how different tones of voice can completely alter dialogue's meaning and how it may be appropriate to use well-known sayings or quotations. Have some fun with verbs which describe how people talk – is it a coincidence that so many of them reflect animal noises?

Kashamu denies plans to run for Ogun governor
byDimeji Kayode-Adedeji
Mr. Kashamu's posters flooded Abeokuta.
The fugitive financier of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ogun State Chapter, Buruji Kashamu, has denied any plan to contest the 2015 governorship race in the state.
Mr. Kashamu told PREMIUM TIMES in Abeokuta that he had no hand in nor encouraged the pasting of his posters which flooded Abeokuta, the state capital, over the weekend. The posters stated that he would contest the election on the platform of the PDP.
The statement on some of the posters read, "2015: The only solution. Kashamu for Ogun State Governor."
Mr. Kashamu, however, admitted that some party members had asked him to contest the Ogun governorship election.
"Five hundred party members came to me sometime last week in Ijebu to tell me to contest; but I told them am not interested. And I don't know why they are doing this," he said in response to PREMIUM TIMES enquiry on his alleged ambition.
"However, I appreciate those who want good things for me, but I don't know those behind the posters. I am above that. But you know when you are generous, when you are a philanthropist, people will believe you can do it, but many people are concerned for their selfish interest," he said.
Mr. Kashamu, who is wanted for drug related offences in the U.S., although he has claimed it was a case of mistaken identity, said he does not believe that his being a successful philanthropist means he would be a good governor.
"You know if as an individual, I am doing lot of empowerment to affect peoples' lives, they will want you to serve in government; not knowing that people like that cannot be good governors," he said. "I appreciate those who wish me well, I wish them the best. I want to say when it is time, all leaders of our party will support all our candidates."
Mr. Kashamu, a major ally of President Goodluck Jonathan in the South West, was one of the reasons former President Olusegun Obasanjo withdrew from PDP activities. The former President said he could no longer stand the ridicule he receives from foreign dignitaries who accused him and the PDP of harbouring and patronising a fugitive.

Household chores ae never something one does with a lot of joy. True that it sometimes give you immense satisfaction when you have done all of them but anyone who is happy to do chores around the house is very likely to putting something else off. Doing laundry is one of those tasks that bring very little pleasure in actually doing the chore but the end result is indeed heavenly, especially if you see the correct detergent. So here are some tips to college student and annoyed housewife alike to become a pro at doing the laundry.
First up, name tags for clothing are king. The tiny little itsy bitsy instruction manual will tell you everything you need to know about keeping your clothes clean, do not ignore it. Do so and you will have some not so great results including but not limited to shrunken garments, stretched garments, faded patterns and so on. The instructions are there to help you, so just take its advice, it's not like you know any better. Reading the clothing labels is only a part of the task, next we tackle stains. During the course of its wear, you clothing will have some stain or the other and while we would like to do nothing other than put it off until it is laundry day, but that my friend is the best way to ruin a shirt. Stains need to be immediately washed off or else you'll have to accept that it will be part of the design. The usual top contenders such as quick stain removers or else the good old home remedies such as club soda, lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide. The quicker you get the stain off, the easier it will be to keep your clothes like new.
When it comes to drying your clothes, a hanger is most common approach but when it comes to sweaters and jumpers, dry them by laying them flat on the ground. This will prevent them from stretching. When it comes to washing dark trousers, wash them inside out so that they retain their colour. In fact when it comes to jeans, you can limit the amount of times you wash them. The more you wash them, the more they lose their shape. Instead keep them in the freezer, this will kill odor causing bacteria. So the end result will feature no smell and still in shape. Laundry is not rocket science, but it does take a certain skill set and a vast amount of experience to make a person a pro at it and now you have the tricks to be so.

The Cleaners is an excellent example of modern British detective fiction, less concerned with the brilliance of the socialite freelance detective and relying more on the modern techniques and situations faced by the modern metropolitan police force.
This is a topic suggestion on The Cleaners from Paper Masters. Use this topic or order a custom research paper, written exactly how you need it to be.
Michael Gilbert's The Cleaners (1977) is an excellent example of modern British detective fiction, less concerned with the brilliance of the socialite freelance detective (ala Sherlock Holmes or The Saint) and relying more on the modern techniques and situations faced by the modern metropolitan police force. Gilbert's novella features Detective Inspector Patrick Petrella, who has the great distinction in this story of not solving the crime.
The Cleaners starts off with a coroner's inquest into the death of Bernie Nicholls, a case that is not in Petrella's jurisdiction. Petrella is in the courtroom for another case, and the officers whose jurisdiction the case is, asks for Petrella's assistance. Gilbert, throughout the story, is commenting on the modern facets of the police force, from high case loads that force the detectives to work cases piecemeal, cooperating as teams to gather bits of evidence here and there, to the competing divisions within the force, divisions that mean that fellow officers are not given access to all the facts in the case.
Petrella begins to look into the death of Nicholls, an investigation that leads him to Lloyd & Lloyd, a London real estate brokerage. The sale of his flat at a profit raises the suspicions of his superiors, as Petrella's bank account (like all senior police officers do in order to catch illegal activity). Petrella's deposit includes marked bills from a payroll heist.
Petrella and his associates focus in on Mr. Lloyd's assistant Tom Adams, a criminal convicted for fraud, now working under an assumed name. Petrella's dealings with Lloyd and Lloyd over the sale of his flat have put him in a delicate position, if Tom Adams is legit, Petrella's interference would mean he was "guilty of persecuting an innocent man who had fought his way back from crime to respectability".
That is until the big brass tells Petrella that Adams is an insider, working for the police. Petrella's assumptions are proven totally wrong, and the case is closed without his assistance. What has happened is that police departmentalization has led to the non-sharing of information, and a great waste of time on the part of Petrella and his detectives.
Paper Masters writes custom research papers on The Cleaners and look at a novel that is one of the first pieces of post-modern detective fiction, that goes into the world of realistic late 20th century police procedures.


Today's business landscape is characterized by an unprecedented, accelerating and complex mix of risks and opportunities. Your entire market can be disrupted in a short time by innumerable factors, be it a new technology or a sudden lack of natural resources. New markets are emerging rapidly due to megatrends such as population growth, resource scarcity or global health risks. Meanwhile, consumers and investors are better informed than ever before – and they want businesses to take responsibility for the pressure our planet and its population are under.
There is growing understanding – especially by business leaders and investors ahead of the curve – that it is not enough for companies to concern themselves only with short-term profits because natural disasters, social unrest or economic disparity can damage long-term prosperity. The businesses that understand this challenge and take action will be a step ahead.
It is clear that the SDGs not only identify where we have to be in 2030 to create a sustainable world, they also outline new markets and opportunities for companies all over the world. To succeed, we must turn the global goals into local business. The UN Global Compact is committed to be a leading catalyst of that transformation. We will devote our capacities and global network to make it happen – based on the sound values and principles that the UN Global Compact is built upon.

Our Schools Vison and Values
To identify and meet individual learning needs through a nurturing environment.
• To provide appropriate high quality learning opportunities for all.
• To develop practice partnership working with all stakeholders.
• To create an environment where opinions and views are respected and appreciated.
• To encourage everyone to develop their talents to enable them to take up their rightful place in their communities.
We believe in a learning community where everyone feels valued, included and achieves.
Art is to evoke creativity, giving all our pupils new experiences. Our curriculum will inspire, engage and challenge while encouraging and providing skills to experiment, explore and create their own Art.
The learning programme is designed to give KS3 the foundation to have wide range of experiences within Art providing learners with a greater knowledge and understanding as well as a range of skills and techniques.
There are 6 topics to cover over the year giving pupils a broad and balanced curriculum similar to that in mainstream education. However, due to the nature of the sever difficulties our pupils have, the programme allows for adapting to pupils needs and requirements at short notice to continue to be inclusive.
By the end of KS3 pupils will be expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the programme of study, equipping them with the foundation to access GCSE in KS4.
Art is encouraged to be inclusive and accessible for all with a therapeutic approach. Art lends itself to build and develop confidence and self-team whilst allowing pupils a way to express themselves and voice emotions and opinions in a positive outlet.
Pupils are taught to develop their creativity and ideas, increase a range of skills and experiences while developing knowledge and understanding.
The programme is designed for pupils to use a range of techniques and media including painting, to learn to record observations, increase their proficiency in handling of different material, analysing and evaluate their own work and that of others and gain knowledge of Artists, styles and movements.
KS3 will deliver a range of experiences covering a plethora of areas and experiences to prepare them for KS4 GCSE.
The aim is to give pupils an inclusive experience of exploring and experiment with a wide range of Art experiences, building on skills knowledge and understanding.
Year 10, KS4 is in 3 phases, Introductory phase, Development phase and Directed phase.
The introductory phase provides a foundation covering a range of activities related to Fine Art experimenting with a variety of materials and processes.
The development phase is to build on experiences and knowledge.
The directed phase offers additional opportunities all working towards gaining a GCSE.
Year 11, KS4 is also in 3 phases.
Sustained phase where pupils are expected to be independent learners responding to a set starting point, independent research is required and evidence of all 4 assessment objectives.
Phase 2 is completion of portfolio finalising all outstanding elements required.
Finally, externally set assignment phase where students select one from several possible starting points on the paper.
To complete select and present portfolio for final submission ensuring all component requirements are fulfilled.
Art is a powerful subject and gives people / pupils the opportunity to have a voice in another form, to express themselves, voice themselves and have an identity.
It's important for individuals to feel valued, heard and inclusive of their surroundings.
The implementation of this curriculum ensures that when pupils leave Brownhill Learning Community, they have a wider understanding of Art and how it can be used as an expressive voice or therapeutic outlet.
The pupils will have gained experiences of Art through various trips which will enhance their knowledge and understanding while also supporting Cultural Capital needs.
If you require further information, please contact the Curriculum Lead for Art, Ms. Mel Hey on (0300) 303 8384, Option 1 or via email at mhey@theblc.org.uk

Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield live at Crystal Ballroom [Portland, Oregon – 3.27.15]
Music by Rick LevinPosted on 03/30/2015
As Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield kicked into a tremulous, tender cover of Elliott Smith's "Baby Britain" to open their March 27 set at Portland's Crystal Ballroom, the butterflies were evident. After all, Portland was Smith's stomping ground, and Avett and Mayfield — on tour to support their gorgeous new album of Smith songs — were acutely aware that, for many in the audience, they were treading hallowed ground. Avett acknowledged this fact a few songs into the set, when he said that, were they to play only one show on the tour, Portland would be it.
And so, nerves and all, Avett and Mayfield were embraced by a packed house of hometown fans who were treated to a cycle of songs that touched every beautiful, bittersweet byway of Elliott Smith's brilliant career. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime performances — a perfect convergence of history, artistry and inspiration — as two great songwriters, so deeply touched by the craft of a departed fellow musician, pour their heart and soul into a celebration that seemed to overflow the time and place that defines it.
Any trepidation quickly disappeared, as Avett and Mayfield brought an engaging combination of warmth and humility to the stage, which resembled a sort of stylized Betty Crocker kitchen from the 1950s — perfect for the intimate buzz of Smith's songwriting, which turned everyday scenes into cosmic meditations on love, loneliness and the ravages of addiction. The song selection — moving from anthems of alienation ("Let's Get Lost" and "Memory Lane") to scorched ballads ("Between the Bars") to eulogies to annihilation ("Fond Farewell" and the stunning "Twilight") — was interspersed with originals by both Avett and Mayfield as well as a number of fantastic covers, including Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman," George Harrison's "I Me My" and a rollicking version of Neil Young's "Out on the Weekend."
It might sound distinctly un-Elliott-Smith-like, but a kind of collective love and faith flowed through the Crystal Ballroom that evening, a feeling of mutual connection to Smith's music as well as an affection for two fine performers who brought their considerable talents to bear on a tribute long in the making. At the end of the show, and two standing ovations later, it felt like something momentous, even necessary, had occurred — a resolution of sorts, like something broken put back together, if for just a moment.

Transgender advocates push for changes to Indiana anti-discrimination proposal
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Advocates at the Indiana Statehouse are urging lawmakers to include protections for transgender people to proposed civil rights legislation, Senate Bill 344.
Those gathered at the state Capitol on Monday said the measure preferred by GOP Senate President David Long doesn't go far enough because it doesn't include protections for transgender people. The bill would extend civil rights protections to lesbian, gay and bisexual people. The state Senate is expected to take up the measure this week.
Many religious conservatives also oppose the measure. They argue it would curtail religious freedom by requiring Christians to work with gay people.
Long says there will be a vote on the measure this week even if there's not enough support for the bill to pass.

I wish… that depression didn't have such a stigma attached to it. I wish people wouldn't question my symptoms because they can't be seen like other illnesses. I wish I didn't have depression but I do.
It's easy to get trapped in thinking that you don't deserve anything good especially kindness. Depression grabs ahold of you like cheetah to an antelope and it won't let go until it's gotten the kill.
Many times in my life I've felt weak, more times than not. Recently I was faced with something very difficult and the depression flood gates were opened wide up. The waves could have taken me under and washed me into sea but I stood still.
It's not been easy. In a few days time I was transported to three years ago when I stuck in Nashville faced with the death of my sweet Mama. No matter how far I run I can't see to get away from those two days. With the snap of my fingers I'm instantly transported back to that scary place. Where I'm alone and scared.
Even today I feel alone and scared but I refuse to give into the pain. I might end up homeless and alone but at least I'm still standing. No matter what is thrown my way I will survive it.
When you've faced depression head on for so many years you begin to rack up the scars. Look at them one by one and all you can see is the pain but if you're able to look at them from afar you realize they've turned into armor.
The future is unknown. Even tomorrow is unknown. What I do know is that I deserve kindness. I deserve to be happy. We all do. I am not my depression. I'm so much more than that. So if you know someone struggling and you're unsure how to handle the situation just show them kindness. We don't expect anyone to solve our problems but a little kindness goes a long ways.


As concerns towards unconventional gas in Western Australia continue to grow, the town of Irwin has become the fifth community in the Mid West to declare itself gas field-free.
The declaration is a sign of solidarity within the community against the unconventional gas industry — and the State Government, should they want to explore or frack gas wells in the district — but does not carry any legal standing.
Irwin melon farmer Rod Copeland handed over the declaration to the Shire of Irwin President Stuart Chandler and councillors who attended the event.
He said for the event to have the support of the Shire was a novelty.
"They are the first call. They set a lot of the agenda locally for what happens," Mr Copeland said.
"We feel they have been very pro oil and gas and ... not necessarily against us but not with us.
"The fact that they are here means that the community has put some pressure on them and we can talk to them and try and get them to listen to what we have to say."
He said going forward the voice of communities in surrounding regions and other areas of the state would only get louder in response to unconventional gas exploration.
"It's all about water and the valuation of our land and other matters that go on our health, our environment, the river," Mr Copeland said.
"We're sending a message to [the] Local Government, [the] State Government and even [the] Federal Government that we want proper consultation and consideration.
"It's not because we were here first, it's because we will be here after and we don't want to have to put up with the mess and have to clean it up in future generations.
"We're going to spread the word and the message [that] we don't want fracking anywhere in this shire, in this state, in this country, or even the world."
Mr Chandler said the council had to be aware of the views of all their rate payers.
The declaration was supported by 98 per cent of the local community and surrounding town sites such as Dongara have supported conventional gas explorations for a number of years.
"Obviously there's a group of our community that are very passionate against any continuation of fracking or unconventional gas extraction within the community," Mr Chandler said.
I'd urge residents to look beyond the scare campaign and look to the facts.
"A lot of our ratepayers and electors are in the industry and they rely on the gas and oil industry for their income source, so keeping that in mind, the Shire has remained neutral in the debate.
"We retain a position of advocacy on behalf of those like this group and I'm here to receive that declaration on behalf of the council."
The Knitting Nannas, a peaceful protest group that originated in New South Wales in response to unconventional gas exploration, also attended the event in Irwin.
One member, Annette Copeland, said the group was growing in Western Australia.
"We hope to protest in that we don't want any of the gas wells in our areas fracked," she said.
"The water in this area is so important to all of us who produce here — mangoes, rockmelons, everyone who lives out here relies on groundwater.
"The water table is also very high so if they frack any of those wells and contaminate any of our water ... we are doomed."
Member for Moore Shane Love, who attended the event, said the message was clear and the Government should respond sympathetically.
"It's an indication this community is concerned about fracking and the development of unconventional gas in their area," he said.
"In Irwin there's been the experience of gas in a conventional sense and Dongara has developed along with the gas industry over the years.
"I think this does demonstrate though that people are concerned about the move towards unconventional gas.
"I think this is incumbent on government to make sure the community feels as comfortable as possible on any move to unconventional gas and to be confident in the regulation and safety of that.
"The Parliament of Western Australia is undertaking an inquiry at the moment into the safety of the unconventional gas industry and I'm very, very interested in how that committee's findings will read when they do finally come out.
"It will lead to conflict and a difficult period here if gas was going to be pushed onto these communities.
"It's important that the Government works hard to listen to the community."
Chief operating officer for the western region of The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association Stedman Ellis said communities considering a declaration in the future should keep an open mind.
"I'd urge residents to look beyond the scare campaign and look to the facts," he said.
"The facts are that fracking is a safe, reliable, well-understood technology that's been used in WA and elsewhere since the 1950s and demonstrably it's had a very significant positive impact in other regional communities.
"So for those who are looking to campaign, I'd say keep an open mind, look to the history of the oil and gas industry in WA and look to Queensland, where the gas industry has reversed the decline in many regional communities.
"These kinds of declarations don't have any legal status; they are a campaigns tactic by those opposed to the gas industry.
"The consequence is that it can confuse and scare people and I think unreasonably lead some of the community to miss out on some of the opportunities that the gas industry can bring in terms of jobs and economic opportunity and environmental responsibility to the region."

Living in TINY HOUSE on wheels OFF GRID | £3000 Sprinter Van Conversion.
In April 2019, we purchased an old 2002 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (LWB, High top, 2.4L Turbo Engine). We finished converting it in August 2019, whilst working full time jobs, and have now hit the open road traveling and living full time! - We spent a rough total of £3000 for the conversion.
We normally live on grid in the van we've been living off grid for three months while camp because obviously with electricity is well you know we built it to be off-grid to save money as well. We have been officially on the road living in the van travel in for the first time for about three months, now we are unfortunately there we're due to the current world crisis we're currently stuck in.
We're safely and securely in a campsite in Marrakesh until we wait out the worst of the storm and can safely channel back to the UK which is quite sad because we were planning on continuing our travels. So we're gonna go south of Spain and south of France on the way back maybe get back by about May but now it's probably gonna be earlier Congo Spain ,France.
We've both always wanted to live a different lifestyle and felt there had to be more to life, but needed the freedom to get it all figured out - Then came Van Life! Which gave us freedom in an inexpensive way. Now we live in this beautiful home on wheels that we created together, where life feels open and free. Let's see where the open road takes us!!

Las Vegas schools pushing to get students back quickly following rise in suicides, report says
on Jan25
by admin | Comments Off on Las Vegas schools pushing to get students back quickly following rise in suicides, report says |
[Editor's note: This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255)]
A substantial uptick in student suicides has prompted the nation's fifth-largest school district to start bringing children back to the classroom as soon as possible, despite high numbers of coronavirus cases and deaths, a report says.
The Clark County School District – which serves Las Vegas and other cities in Nevada – is now formulating a plan to allow some elementary grade and struggling youth to return to classrooms following 18 suicides amongst its student body between March and the end of December last year, The New York Times reported. That number reportedly was twice the amount the district recorded in the entirety of 2019.
"When we started to see the uptick in children taking their lives, we knew it wasn't just the Covid numbers we need to look at anymore," Jesus Jara, the superintendent of the district, told the Times. "We have to find a way to put our hands on our kids, to see them, to look at them. They've got to start seeing some movement, some hope."
An uptick in suicides has prompted the Clark County School District to allow students to return as soon as possible, a report says.
THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWNS ON KIDS' MENTAL HEALTH
Clark County, like many school districts across America, has shifted to remote learning this academic year due to the continued spread of the coronavirus.
But the district is trying to assist students who may be having difficulty adapting.
Its teachers have been trained to spot trauma cues on screens, school psychologists have been working overtime and truancy officers have been tasked with conducting wellness checks, the Times reports.
Last summer, the district also poured resources into the GoGuardian Beacon alert system. The technology scans student writing and search activity on school-issued iPads and then notifies officials of any ongoing mental health episodes or suicidal thoughts, according to the newspaper.
During a stretch from June 2020 to October 2020, that program generated more than 3,100 alerts to Clark County administrators, it added.
"I couldn't sleep with my phone nearby anymore," Jara told the Times. "It was like a 24-hour reminder that we need to get our schools open."
BOSTON COLLEGE ENCOURAGES STUDENT REPORTS OF CORONAVIRUS INFRACTIONS
In one case in November, a 12-year-old Clark County student was reported to have made an attempt to take his own life.
The district sprang into action after the child searched for "how to make a noose" on his school iPad, according to the Times.
The boy's father, on the night of the incident, went to sleep around 7 p.m. in preparation for an early morning work shift – but school officials weren't able to get through to him on the phone until 10 p.m., according to the newspaper. The father then went to his son's room and found a noose fashioned out of shoestrings around his neck, the report said.
"He is having a hard time functioning in this isolation," the child's grandfather told the Times, describing how the boy – despite doing well in school — was "Zoomed out" and kept saying he missed his friends. "It goes against everything that he is. There has to be an option of letting these kids go to school."
THOUSANDS OF CHICAGO TEACHERS NOT HEADING BACK TO CLASSROOMS FOLLOWING UNION VOTE, WILL REMAIN REMOTE
At least 68 Clark County schools also have been participating in a face-to-face counseling program that has resulted in 30 interventions in situations where students were contemplating suicide, the Times reported.
The Clark County School District, as of the academic year prior to the onset of the coronavirus, says it serves more than 320,000 students and has 360 schools.
The district's limited reopening plan cited by the Times was approved by its board of trustees in mid-January, although the timeline is still being finalized.
Jara, speaking to reporters on Jan. 15, said late February or early March is a "good target" for bringing students back for academic and mental health support, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
A behavioral risk survey released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year also noted the percentage of students saying they felt persistent feelings of sadness – or those who have planned and attempted suicide – has steadily risen in the last decade, the Times reported.
Fox News has reached out to the Clark County School District and the CDC for further comment.

Condemnation of US threats against Nicaragua
NSCAG News | on: Monday, 10 April 2017
In a move ominously reminiscent of US acts of aggression against Nicaragua in the 1980s, legislation has been re-introduced to the US House of Representatives that would, if enacted, profoundly destabilise Nicaragua.
In September last year, the US House of Representatives passed the Nicaraguan Investment Conditionality Act (NICA) of 2016. This called for the US 'to oppose loans for the Government of Nicaragua by international lending institutions unless the Government of Nicaragua is taking effective steps to hold free, fair and transparent elections, and for other purposes.'
However, because of the US elections, there was insufficient time for this legislation to be approved by the Senate and signed off by the President.
In the meantime, the General Secretary of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro has established what he describes as 'a constructive relationship' with the Nicaragua government to address concerns of ' an institutional nature including elections'.
This culminated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the OAS and the government of Nicaragua on 28 February,2017 that establishes the terms of reference for an OAS mission that will accompany Nicaragua over the next three years.
Flying in the face of this initiative by the OAS (of which the US is a member state), on 5 April, 25 members of Congress led by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Albio Sires reintroduced a toughened form of their 2016 bill to Congress.
Given the level of influence the US has within international lending institutions, if this became law, Nicaragua could be denied access to the international credit. Currently running at US$250 million annually, these loans are being invested in social programmes, electrification, roads and other infrastructure initiatives.
Since returning to power in 2007, the government has succeeded in bringing peace and stability to a historically war torn country. This has included introducing successful measures to combat high levels of poverty. Cutting international loans would roll back these achievements, profoundly destabilising the country and disproportionately affecting the poorest sectors of the population.
As Nicaraguan economist Mauricio Peralta points out: 'Impoverishing a country will not contribute to democracy'.
The Nica Act has been unanimously condemned by the Nicaragua government, the private sector and all political parties. A National Assembly statement points out that the Act would only serve to destabilise the country.' It has also been criticised as counterproductive by the Nicaraguan private sector represented by the Nicaraguan Chamber of Commerce.
Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo labelled the Nica Act as" reactionary and interventionist" move that seeks to "undermine the right of Nicaragua to continue developing the socialist model."
OAS General Secretary, Luis Almagro, added his opposition to the Act arguing that 'it would not be a constructive contribution to strengthening democracy in Nicaragua.'

Q: Vision Problem vs Visual Problem I have a problem with those 2 words. What is the difference between the vision problem and visual problem? Or Do they mean the same? I Googled both terms, but the search results are pretty much the same.
Actually I am colour blind (strong deutan). So how can I express that? Is it "I have Visual Problem" or "I have Vision Problem"?. Which one fits in this case ?
If I want to ask another person about his eyes, how should I ask? "Do You have Vision Problems?" or "Do you have Visual Problems?"

A: A vision problem means it is related to the way we perceive something
A visual problem means it is related to a physical thing we can see.
Therefore, you should use a vision problem.
