Agriculture (ager means field and culture means cultivation in latin) is the science that deals with crop production for human use.
Rubber and coffee are examples of plantation crops.
Weeds are unwanted plants that grow along with the crops and compete with the crops for water, minerals and sunlight.
Following ways are used to remove weeds:
(a) Manually
(b) By using tools like trowel, hoe or rake
(c) Spraying weedicide
Pests are the organisms that attack the crops and damage them. Examples: Rodents or insects
Animal proteins are better than plant proteins because they contain certain essential amino acids that plant proteins lack. Also, animal proteins can be more easily digested by us.
Kharif crops are sown during the monsoon.
Animal husbandry is the practice of rearing of animals for food and other purposes.
Temperature and humidity are the two things that have to be controlled in a cold storage.
(a) Crop rotation is a good agricultural practice because it maintains the nutrition of the soil. In this method, different crops are grown in succession in the same field.
(b) Pulses are alternated with crops like wheat or paddy because these crops consume lot of nitrogen from the soil. The roots of pulses form an association with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and convert the atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is used by plants. When the plants die, large amount of nitrogen fixed by them remains in the soil and becomes available for the next crop.
(a) Green manure refers to the plants that are grown to produce manure. Examples of green manure include black gram, cluster bean and cowpea.
(b) Compost is formed when manure is produced in the presence of microorganisms that act on the waste matter covered in pits or in open. Waste that is decomposed by microorganisms include crop residue, animal dung and sludge.
(a) Biological control of weeds and pests refers to a method in which a biological enemy of the weeds and pests is introduced in the field. This organism kills the weeds and pests. Other way of biological control is to develop disease-resistant varieties of crops.
(b) Biological control is better than the use of weedicides and pesticides as it does not harm the health of the human beings, who consume the crops. Weedicides and pesticides are poisonous and non-biodegradable chemicals that are absorbed by plants. Such plants allow these chemicals to enter our body.
Root nodules are the swellings that are found in the roots of leguminous plants. These nodules are formed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in leguminous roots. These nodules help in converting atmospheric nitrogen into compounds that could be used by plants.
Surface irrigation refers to the different ways of irrigation in which water is allowed to run over the field. There are two ways of surface irrigation:
(a) Furrow irrigation: Here, crop is planted on ridges and water is allowed to run through furrows between the ridges.
(b) Basin irrigation: Here, water is contained in the whole field by making bunds all around it.
Advantages of using chemical fertilisers:
(a) They provide specific nutrients that are not present in the soil.
(b) They are easy to store and transport as they are compact.
(c) They are water soluble; therefore, they are readily absorbed by plants.
Disadvantages of using chemical fertilisers:
(a) They make the soil more prone to erosion as they do not provide humus.
(b) They can harm soil fertility by making it more acidic or alkaline.
(c) They may cause eutrophication by mixing in water bodies.
Nitrogen cycle:
Nitrogen present in the air is converted into ammonia or other compounds of nitrogen that can be used by the plants through certain nitrogen-fixing bacteria present in the soil. These compounds are used by plants to make proteins from where they pass on to the animals, who consume these plants.
When plants and animals die, the nitrogen compounds present in their bodies are converted into ammonia by microorganisms. The ammonia is ultimately converted to nitrates by bacteria. Nitrogen is returned to the atmosphere by the bacteria that break down nitrogen compounds to get energy and release nitrogen.
Sources of irrigation in India:
(a) Dams: Dams are constructed across rivers. Water is carried through them by canals to different parts that are deprived of water. Permanent and inundation canals are used to carry water to different fields.
(b) Wells: They are used to tap groundwater. Electrical tube wells are now used to pump water from these wells for irrigation.
(c) Groundwater: Over 50 per cent of water used in irrigation is groundwater. In many parts of north India, groundwater is used as an additional source of irrigation.
1. The practice of growing fruit, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants are horticulture.
2. The process of using the vapours of a chemical to disinfect a place and get rid of pests is called fumigation.
3. A buffer stock of grains is maintained to provide food during emergencies.
4. A mutually beneficial association between two organisms is called symbiosis.
5. Seeds have to be sown at the right depth and with adequate spaces in between.
6. Biological control is a method of controlling weeds or pests by using their natural enemies.
7. A fallow field is one that is left uncultivated for one or more seasons.
Following activities are involved in growing a crop:
(a) Ploughing
(b) Levelling
(c) Manuring
(c) Winnowing
Winnowing is the process of removing chaff from the grain.
(d) can harvest, thresh and winnow
A combine refers to a machine that can harvest, thresh and winnow.
(a) Rice
Rice is not a rabi crop. It is sown during monsoon; therefore, it is a kharif crop.
(b) nitrogen fixation
The process of converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds is called nitrogen fixation.
(a) drip irrigation
Drip irrigation is a method in which emitters let out a trickle of water near the roots of the plants.
(d) between 0°C and 4°C
The temperature in a cold storage is maintained between 0°C and 4°C.
The seedlings of the rice are sown in nurseries and then, they are transplanted to the crop fields.
(a) pea
Roots of peas contain nodules with nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
(d) jute
Jute is not a rabi crop.
(a) and (c)
Jowar and bajra are millets that require very little water.
(b) winnowing
Winnowing is done after the crops are gathered.
(c) cowpea
Cowpea is an example of green manure.

Kris Thomas Blichfeldt Gallery
Lincoln between Ocean and 7th Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
Fifth generation Californian Kris Thomas Blichfeldt comes to Carmel By The Sea to influence the Monterey Peninsula with his remarkable sanquine perceptions. Whether its the Aerial Photography, Bronze Sculpture or Ceramic Porcelain Masterpieces, you will sense the peace and beauty that will take you to a higher spiritual plateau. Kris has made Monterey California his home for the last 28 years.
It is his power of sensitivity in creating art between what the soul wants to see and the heart wants to love. Each of Kris's Porcelain hand built pieces are justifiably unique and one of a kind. Bronze are limited edition numbered pieces and signed. All photography is limited editions. Once exposed to Kris's art work, it causes you to notice a sense of something authentic and Kris's loving kindness…coming together in the moment you see it for the first time. You will not forget. A walk through Kris Thomas Blichfeldt's Carmel-by-the-Sea gallery reveals the artist's variety of work. There is a photograph of desolate Mono Lake with lightning spider-webbing the sky above it and a digitally enhanced image of a Carmel Beach scene projected onto the bald knob of Half Dome. And there are bronze sculptures of violins and pianos. "I'm a Renaissance artist," Blichfeldt proclaims.
Before opening his own gallery in 2016, Blichfeldt had a very specialized job as a sculptor for 20 years, making handcrafted figurines called Poupee Millet dolls. "They were everywhere," he says. "They were in the high-end trinket galleries."
When the doll company shuttered six years ago, Blichfeldt pursued his art wholeheartedly. His affinity for music led to his sculpture series titled "Symphony in Bronze." "I like to take music and make it three-dimensional," Blichfeldt says of the project.
Meanwhile, his photos are inspired by living in California. "It is all devoted to the California coastline or the California mountains," Blichfeldt says. "I want to show the best of where I live, so I want to share my front yard, which is the coast."

Police: Victim in Cape Coral fatal stabbing knew suspect, had earlier altercation with him Jessica Taylor Landor, had told police that Kyle Patrick Orr, 31, of Cape Coral had tied her up and choked her in May. She declined to press charges Check out this story on news-press.com: https://www.news-press.com/story/news/crime/2019/06/17/police-victim-cape-coral-fatal-stabbing-knew-suspect/1476304001/
Michael Braun, Fort Myers News-Press Published 12:47 p.m. ET June 17, 2019 | Updated 2:33 p.m. ET June 17, 2019
A woman who Cape Coral police found dead when they checked on an open line 911 call knew her suspected assailant — just over a month ago she told police she had been tied up and choked by him, police said Monday.
Jessica Taylor Landor, 30, a resident of apartment A203 at 838 SW 47th Terrace, was found with fatal stab wounds Sunday night. Kyle Patrick Orr, 31, of Cape Coral, was named by police as the suspect.
At a media briefing, Cape Coral police Lt. Allan Kolak said that the two had been involved in an argument Sunday night.
A police report said the 911 operator initially heard a muffling sound on the line, then heard what sounded like a female screaming and a male voice saying "stop". The line then disconnected and was busy when dispatch called back.

Officers arrived at the apartment and found a key broken in the door and keys on the ground outside the apartment.
Landor was found on a bedroom floor with several stab wounds, including a large laceration on her neck and was pronounced dead.
A police report said a black rope was on the floor near the victim's ankles and a red rope was hung from outside the bedroom. The living room area had additional blood and signs of a disturbance.
Police found a large, bloody knife they believe Orr used in the stabbing on a concrete slab behind a nearby residence.
After stabbing her, police believe Orr fled the second-story apartment through a sliding glass door and into to a backyard area down Southwest 47th. The screen on the rear lanai of the apartment appeared to be damaged where Orr left the scene, police said.

A witness told police they saw a shirtless man cutting himself on the arm with a large knife while running from Landor's apartment on foot. Orr was found with self-inflicted knife wounds on his arm a block away. A blood trail, still apparent Monday, lead west from the apartment building.

Orr remained hospitalized Monday morning, Kolak said, and charges of second-degree homicide against him were pending.
One neighbor near the two-story apartment building said he heard the couple prior to seeing a swarm of police cars along Southwest 47th.
"I heard them arguing," said Shaun Crossley, who's single-story sixplex apartment looks toward Landor's second-floor apartment. "I've heard them before."
Another neighbor in the same apartment row as Crossley said he used to own the apartment building and was shocked when told of the killing.
"I just saw all the lights," Steve Steiner said. I didn't hear anything."
During the previous incident, Landor told police she had been choked and tied up by Orr, with ropes binding them together, and she had escaped once he fell asleep.
"It was determined there was a prior incident between the victim and the suspect ... on May 8," Kolak said. "Officers did arrive on the scene for that for the victim (she) had called the Cape Coral Police Department."
But, Kollak said, Landor declined to press charges against Orr and said that felony drug charges that police filed against him that night were enough.
Kolak said that detectives returned and asked her if she wanted to press battery charges and she declined, going so far as to file a no further action form.
The May incident was apparently sparked over a previous boyfriend of Landor's, Kolak said.

The lack of a domestic connection — no children, no marriage and cohabitation — meant that police could not press the issue, Kolak said. If there had been a connection, he explained, even if Landor had declined to press charges, police could have moved forward with an arrest and charges against Orr.
"By statute that was not a domestic violence," Kolak said. "The situation would have been much different on May 8 if it was a domestic violence situation."
Orr's felony drug arrest on May 8 was for possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana. He paid a $5,000 bond and was released within four hours, jail records indicate.
Orr has several other arrests on his record including armed robbery. He was released from state prison in September after serving four years of a five-year sentence for a 2014 7-Eleven robbery.

WORCESTER, Mass. – Freshman Carmen Unzue recorded a career-high 11 kills and senior Allison Cappellino added 10 kills and 14 digs to lead the American University volleyball team to a 25-19, 26-24, 25-14 victory over Holy Cross on Friday evening.
Sophomore Hoakalei Dawson added 20 digs and five service aces for the Eagles, who improved to 21-6 overall on the season and 12-0 in the Patriot League. Meanwhile, the Crusaders dropped to 5-19 overall and 2-9 in the league.
In the first set, the Eagles trailed early as Holy Cross took its largest lead at 15-12. However, American responded with a 10-0 run after the media timeout to pull ahead on its way to the set victory.
The second set was close throughout, with 15 ties and three lead changes. After the Eagles pulled ahead late in the set to take a 24-22 lead, Holy Cross came back to tie it at 24-24. However, American finished strong to take a 2-0 lead in the match.
With the score tied at 3-3 in the third set, American went on a 10-2 run and Holy Cross never got closer than six points the rest of the way, as the Eagles finished out the match victory.
"It was a good win overall," said freshman setter Kennedy Etheridge. "There were some challenging points throughout the match, especially in the second set, but we made it through and we pulled out the win.
"It was a great experience for me to set the full match, and the team did a great job coming together in order for us to succeed. Allison and Carmen were great in the crunch times and helped us get a lot of kills and blocks."
American closes out its final road trip of the regular season tomorrow, when it visits Army West Point in a 5 p.m. contest. The Black Knights currently sit just one game behind the Eagles in the Patriot League standings, with their only league loss coming to AU.

Pisces 2023 Wellness Horoscope
Horoscope • Yesterday • Today • Tomorrow • Weekly • Monthly • 2022 • 2023
In 2022, in terms of health, Pisces will become immune to most problems. Seasonal illnesses are likely to bypass you. However, this does not mean that you can even swim in the ice hole! The support of the stars will not let you sleep with a cold in situations where the disease would knock most of the surrounding people. Use this opportunity wisely, but there are no particular restrictions. You can work hard, spend time on yourself or help loved ones. You will have good opportunities, but like most zodiac signs in this annual cycle, you should avoid emotional distress.
The first half of 2022 for the representatives of the zodiac sign Pisces in terms of health will be an extremely important life period. Right now, you will be able to solve many long-standing problems once and for all. If a chronic illness worsens again, do not use standard methods. Pay more attention to the situation and try to find an alternative solution. Friends advice won't help here. Also, the stars do not recommend self-medication.
The second half of 2022 will be less intense for Pisces in terms of health issues. You will resolve most of the important situations in the first half of the year, then all that remains is to maintain the status quo. On the other hand, emotional constraints will no longer work, so the amount of risk will decrease. This period is good for helping others, and your every action will have consequences in the future. However, try not to take on more than you can do. In the fall, there is a risk of injury for Pisces who are professionally involved in sports. It can be leveled by observing safety precautions, listen to the advice of those you trust. Toward the end of the year, destabilization of the psychological state is possible due to external factors. The stars advise you to worry less, this is temporary, and only victories await you ahead.

Traveling to and offering in-person support to the math team approximately one time in the fall and the spring of the 2021-22 school year.
Ensuring that as the 2021-22 school-year winds down that Lincoln Hills/Copper Lake has a fully developed, replicable, and modifiable Algebra 1 curriculum and classroom ready set of instructional materials--developed within Google Workspace.

Has strong communication skills, is comfortable working remotely, and is prompt and thorough
Lives and works in Wisconsin, and is able to provide both remote support and travel to Lincoln Hills/Copper lake 2 to 4 times during the school year
We are looking for a Contract Specialist who is available starting in mid-July, and will be able to offer support throughout the school year.

The Chicago Stars series is so much fun, and I was really looking forward to reading the latest novel. It did not disappoint! Piper Dove and Cooper Graham were not looking for love. In fact, they were both kind of prickly! Cooper, a just retired quarterback for the Chicago Stars, has opened a nightclub, and wants to expand to several. Piper is a private investigator, hired to check him out. When they meet, sparks fly, and not the good kind! It's not until a third into the book, that she starts to intrigue Cooper. He slowly starts to pursue her, but Piper has a lot of baggage. Brought up by her father, Piper is not interested in her appearance, doesn't flirt, and only thinks men are good for one thing- and she tells him that. Cooper doesn't have a problem being that man, but her ethics get in the way, and she pushes him away.
This is the classic will they or won't they, but this author excels at telling love stories that have humor and a lot of heart. Her characters always have to overcome an internal obstacle, and in this book, I was afraid that Piper would never give in. She doesn't see her own worth and doesn't believe anyone who tries to convince her of it and Cooper has to be very creative in his approach.
If you haven't read the other Chicago Stars novels, don't worry. A couple of characters make an appearance, but they aren't pivotal to the story, so this story can be read as a stand alone novel. You should read the others if you haven't, because they are just as much fun as First Star I See Tonight.

Home/Entertainment/Congolese singer, Koffi Olomide sentenced to 18 months in prison for kidnap
Congolese singer, Koffi Olomide sentenced to 18 months in prison for kidnap
According to The Standard, the veteran singer was sentenced to jail for holding four women (his former dancers) against their will.
In 2019, the music star was found guilty of sexual assault and kidnapping his dancers in 2002 and 2006 at the singer's home.
He was ordered to pay Sh1.2 million ($10,000) each to the three women in question.
However, he was cleared of the rape charge levelled against him.
The court cleared him of the rape allegations because of the conflicting evidence presented.
The lawyers to the ladies said his clients are disappointed with the ruling after the rape charges were dropped.
"Obviously they will be disappointed with the sexual assault verdicts because for them it was the most important thing," he said.
The music star was reportedly deported from Kenya in 2016 after he was caught on camera assaulting a young lady.

The hsien originated during the Ch'un-ch'iu, or Spring and Autumn, period (770–476 bc) of Chinese history. Villages or townships on China's western frontier that had been newly conquered by such expanding Chinese states as Ch'in and Ch'u were placed directly under the authority of the head of the kingdom, in contrast to more settled areas in which the local aristocratic families held governing authority. The first recorded use of the term hsien to denote these centrally administered townships dates from 688/687 bc. During the Warring States period (475–221 bc), as the heads of Chinese kingdoms became more powerful at the expense of their nobles, the hsien became the model for a new type of administrative system based on districts that were all governed by the central power of the kingdom. The kingdom of Ch'in became the first to formally adopt the hsien as its basic administrative unit in the 4th century bc. The system was subsequently adopted by the Ch'in and Han dynasties, which unified China. In the hierarchy of territories created by the Western Han dynasty (206 bc–ad 25), several hsien, or counties, were grouped into a larger unit called a commandery (chün), several of which were in turn grouped into a prefecture (chou) that was based in a large city. Each hsien was governed by a magistrate appointed by the imperial court, and he was assisted by a locally recruited staff.
During the Sui dynasty's governmental reforms in the late 6th century ad, the commandery was abolished as an administrative unit, but the hsien (county) and prefecture were retained, the latter comprising on average six or seven hsien. Under the Yüan and Ming dynasties, still-larger units, called provinces (sheng), were created out of a handful of prefectures. This territorial hierarchy has continued, with only a few interruptions, down to present-day Chinese government.

It appears that media mogul Oprah Winfrey is moving to the Pacific Northwest. As reports, Winfrey dished out $8.275 million on a secluded compound on Washington State's Orcas Island, which is one of the four islands comprising the San Juan Islands archipelago in between Seattle and Vancouver.

3 Things I Didn't Know About Myself Until I Divorced In My 20s — jenn nagy - love. divorce. relationships. breakups.
I spent a good deal of my late teens and twenties being a girlfriend and then a wife, completely skipping over the "normal" behaviors that most people go through at that age, like partying, dating and figuring out who I am. When I found myself divorced at the tender young age of 28, I realized that I had no idea who I was, no idea what made me happy and no idea what I really wanted to do with my life. I was broken and alone, terrified that my heart would never mend and that I would never find real happiness.
Fast forward five years and I'm writing this article in my villa in Bali, my heaven on Earth -- and my new home. Although I've spent the last four years in therapy trying to figure out all of my issues, it wasn't until I started traveling a year ago that I really discovered the real me.
I am actually a happy person.
If I said this to my ex-husband when we were married, he would have laughed in my face. I spent nine years with him, bitching and moaning about a million and one things every day. The tiniest aggravation would send me into a tailspin of worry, upset and anxiety. I was so bad that I developed OCD-level coping strategies to deal with my anxiety (obsessively needing to blow kisses and exhale fully on the last kiss is totally normal right?). Post-divorce, I discovered that I don't need those coping mechanisms any longer. Who knew?! Turns out I'm really happy when I'm living my dream life wandering through Southeast Asia, drinking terrible wine and working on my tan.
Although I sometimes get lonely, I love traveling (and being) alone.
When I first got separated, I couldn't spend two minutes alone with my thoughts and feelings. I spent an entire year drinking my pain away, alternating between drunk and hungover as f*ck. I couldn't face myself or the situation that I found myself in. When I wasn't drinking, I was dating... constantly. There was a never-ending string of men and relationships, most of which were destined to fail before they even started because I was so afraid of being alone -- literally and figuratively.
Now, I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary of traveling all by my lonesome. There have been really tough moments -- like the one where I had to cut myself off from all my friends and lay in a hammock on the beach, reading books for a week straight to re-center myself -- but all in all, I have loved every minute of it. Traveling alone is one of the most empowering things that a girl can do... and for someone who spent the better part of her adult life relying on her ex-husband for everything, even after our divorce, it is an experience that I truly needed to have in order to become the fully-functioning adult that I am today.
Divorce is not an ending. It is an opportunity.
My divorce made me who I am today. Without the personal sadness of my pre-divorce life and the gut-wrenching divorce recovery process, I would never have discovered myself or found happiness. Without divorce, I would have never realized that travel is my true passion and that I am the happiest when I'm wearing a flowy sundress and flip flops, 365 days per year. I would have never started writing for The Huffington Post Divorce section and I would never have had the opportunity to meet and help so many wonderful men and women suffering through the pain of their own divorce. I wouldn't have made the best friends that I have today. I wouldn't have seen the world. I wouldn't have my beautiful dog baby, Osgoode, and because I wouldn't have him, my heart would only be half as full as it is today.
Travel made me see all of these things and appreciate my life for the very first time, ever. I feel lucky every single day because of what I've gone through. My thirties are so much better because of the heartbreak (of divorce) in my twenties. It sounds cheesy to say but traveling was what helped me to discover myself and today, I am the happiest that I've ever been.
And, you know what? One day if you discover your own passion, you will be too.

There's a place on Herron Hill that's been touched by a bit of magic
If you know where to look, there's a place on Herron Hill that's been touched by a bit of magic.
Among the mounds of mystical mayhem stands a proud, wooden likeness of the legendary Bigfoot.
The life-sized statue is the property of Allen Godbey, who allows it to grace his mother Barbara's secret garden.
Eight years ago, a friend of Godbey wanted a Bigfoot statue. Godbey happened to have another friend who was artistically handy with a chainsaw.
Key Peninsula resident Allen Godbey and his Bigfoot. Courtesy photo by J.T. Flanders
One day the three of them got together with a large chunk of tree. Over the next 12 hours, Godbey watched in awe as raw wood was turned into a work of art. Three years later Godbey's friend passed away, leaving the Bigfoot statue, now known as "Bob," to Godbey. Bob has resided in his mother's secret garden ever since.
Finding a statue of a Bigfoot on the Pen is a bit unusual. Finding an owner of a Bigfoot statue who has had an actual Bigfoot experience is rare, indeed.
One day 23 years ago, young Godbey and a friend were out hunting whitetail deer in the remote hills above Eatonville. After climbing to the top of Watch Mountain, they were both suddenly amazed by the absolute stillness at the summit. No animals of any kind were visible; neither the chirp of a bird nor the buzz of an insect broke the eerie silence.
The duo proceeded back down the mountain the way they had come, when they began smelling a great stench, unlike any they had ever encountered before. Godbey described it as a "lingering foul fetid odor. Once you've smelled it, you'll never forget it!"
Suddenly in a clearcut approximately 150 yards away a Bigfoot sat up and began to walk around. Godbey and his friend were at first stunned and frightened, but they stayed put and watched the creature for about half an hour.
Later the same day as they were driving down the mountain, a Bigfoot popped up by the road and ran alongside them for about a mile. When they finally reached the bottom of the hill, Godbey spotted three Bigfoot creatures in a clearing approximately 60 feet away. Godbey estimated their height ranged from 6 to 9 feet tall and their weight was probably between 260 and 300 pounds. The tallest of the three sported grayish hair and appeared to be a dominant alpha male, he said.
The sight and sounds of the Bigfoot raised the hair on Godbey's arms and gave him goose bumps, which coincidently reappear every time Godbey relates his story.
"This is the classic symptom of those people who have had a Bigfoot encounter," according to John Flanders, local Bigfoot expert. It might be easy for the average reader to discount such a story as pure fabrication or fancy, but this author knows better — from personal experience. But that's next month's story.

A few short years from now, a large swath of grass at Los Olivos Park could be covered with cultivated rows of corn or wheat, large planter boxes growing a variety of edible herbs and vegetables, and a small restaurant and art & education center.

This is the vision of Aric Mei and his business partner, Matt Moore, who are hoping the Phoenix Parks Board will get the ball rolling on this ambitious project by approving the proposal at the board's March 22 meeting (**date changed from Feb. 22).
"The Farm at Los Olivos is a new proposal that we are working on with the city of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department. The vision is to create a new farm, education, and food experience," explains Mei, who is co-owner of The Parlor restaurant in Central Phoenix. Mei is no stranger to urban gardening, as there is a small garden that lines the entryway to The Parlor. They use the vegetables and fresh herbs grown in the garden for the eatery's specialty dishes.
The Farm At Los Olivos is envisioned as a 2-acre working organic farm that will include a market, produce stand and full-service dining.
"This groundbreaking project will help the City of Phoenix Parks Department take a big step towards its mission statement to 'build healthy communities through parks, programs, and partnerships'," Mei points out.
The restaurant or "concessions" component is important because it is the revenue-generating portion of the plan, which will help pay what essentially will be a long-term lease on the park land. A portion of the income generated through the eatery will go back to the Parks department, specifically earmarked for Los Olivos Park, located at 2802 E. Devonshire Ave.
Some amenities at the 28-acre park, such as the 9-hole Frisbee Golf Course, will not be eliminated but may be reconfigured. The 4.5-acre urban farm will be located at the north and west end of the park, to take advantage of the access off 28th Street and existing parking there.
At an open house on Jan. 11 at the adjacent Devonshire Senior Center, more than 20 students from the nearby Camelback Montessori High School came to learn about the project, which will be just a few blocks away from the school when completed.
Patricia Hawkins, who sometimes brings her grandchildren to the park, calls it a "win-win," noting it will improve the amenities at the park overall while providing a dedicated source of income to the park. The educational aspect of teaching people of all ages about growing their own food, even in the middle of a large city, also appealed to her. "We need something like this in this urban world," she said.
The Phoenix Parks Board is tentatively scheduled to vote on the proposed Farm at Los Olivos at its meeting set for 5 p.m. Thursday, March 22 in the City Council Chambers, 200 W. Jefferson St. To confirm this item is on the agenda, visit www.phoenix.gov, select "Other Public Meeting Notices" under City Business, and find the posted agenda 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
If approved, it then goes through the city's normal process to execute a public/private partnership, such as plan review, design approval, etc. The partners anticipate 9-12 months before any kind of groundbreaking, and likely at least 2 years before an official opening.
Send your comments about this proposal, to be shared with the Phoenix Parks Board in advance of its meeting, to Nellie Ramon, Management Assistant I, Parks and Recreation Department, at nellie.ramon@phoenix.gov.


SAN FRANCISCO, January 20, 2015 — Douglas Sprague, former chief of the San Francisco U.S. Attorney's Office Economic Crimes and Securities Fraud section, has joined Covington & Burling's litigation group as a partner, further strengthening the firm's highly regarded white collar practice. He will be resident in Covington's San Francisco office.
Mr. Sprague has more than a dozen years of experience as a federal prosecutor. As chief of the Economic Crimes and Securities Fraud section, Mr. Sprague supervised more than 10 prosecutors responsible for investigating and prosecuting a wide range of white collar crimes, including securities fraud, health care fraud, and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). He previously served as chief of the office's White Collar Crime section and chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Oakland.
In addition to his supervisory duties, Mr. Sprague maintained a full caseload of white collar prosecutions and investigations. He has tried numerous felony jury cases, including several multi-week complex white collar cases.
"Doug will be a strong addition to our San Francisco office and Covington's white collar defense and investigations practice, particularly with respect to the financial services and health care sectors," said Timothy Hester, chair of the firm's management committee.
Ethan Posner, co-chair of Covington's white collar practice, said that Mr. Sprague will complement the firm's strong West Coast white collar team, which includes Phillip Warren, former chief of the San Francisco office of the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division; David Bayless, former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission's San Francisco office; and Tammy Albarrán, who leads the firm's anti-corruption Latin America practice.
"Doug's experience supervising health care fraud, securities fraud and other white collar matters dovetails perfectly with the firm's white collar needs," Mr. Posner said. Ms. Albarrán added that Mr. Sprague's expertise with the FCPA will be particularly valuable to firm clients.
Prior to joining the U.S. Attorney's Office, Mr. Sprague worked at law firms in Chicago and San Francisco, focusing on white collar criminal defense, commercial litigation, and intellectual property litigation. Mr. Sprague said he was drawn to Covington by its reputation and the breadth of its trial, white collar, and other litigation work.
Mr. Sprague received a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a law degree from Northwestern University School of Law.

On third try, Foley wins public financing for campaign
by Mark Pazniokas July 2, 2014 @ 4:42 pm Updated March 4, 2022 @ 10:24 pm
Tom Foley CT Mirror
It took three tries and another round of fundraising, but Republican Tom Foley's application for the public financing of his campaign for governor was approved Wednesday by the State Elections Enforcement Commission.
The commission also approved applications for Attorney General George Jepsen, a Democrat, and Heather Bond Somers, one of three Republican candidates for lieutenant governor.
Foley had twice failed to meet the qualifying threshold of $250,000 in individual contributions of no more than $100, but he exceeded the mark after submitting $16,549 in additional donations. The application of his opponent in the GOP primary, Senate Minority Leader John P. McKinney of Fairfield, will be considered next week.

Foley, 62, a Greenwich businessman who largely self-funded his unsuccessful 2010 campaign, now is entitled to a $1,354,250 grant for the Aug. 12 primary. If he wins, Foley will get $6,500,400 for the general election, the same as Gov. Dannel P. Malloy.
The Foley campaign had originally raised $264,148 in contributions, but the commission said its staff had validated only $220,977. He failed to meet a requirement that 90 percent of the contributions come from Connecticut donors.
His final submission of $280,697 yielded $255,121 in valid qualifying contributions.
The Democratic ticket of Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman qualified three weeks ago. Malloy is Connecticut's first governor to be elected using the state's voluntary Citizens' Election Program, which provides public financing in return for limits on contributions and expenditures.
Jepsen and Somers each had to submit $75,000 in qualifying contributions.
Jepsen, who has no opponent for the Democratic nomination, will get a general election grant of $812,550. It took him two tries to win approval.
Somers will get $406,275 for the GOP primary. The convention-endorsed candidate, Penny Bacchiochi, already has her grant. The third candidate, David M. Walker, has filed a joint application with McKinney, who is his running mate.
Every statewide constitutional officer except Treasurer Denise Nappier now has been approved for public finance. Nappier, who still is working on raising $75,000 in qualifying contributions, has yet to apply.
Grants have been approved for Malloy, Wyman, Jepsen, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill and Comptroller Kevin Lembo.
Among Republican statewide candidates, grants now have been approved for Foley, Bacchiochi, Somers and Timothy Herbst, the candidate for treasurer.
The commission also approved grants Wednesday for legislative candidates:
Rep. James Albis, D-East Haven.
Rep. Elizabeth Boukus, D-Plainville.
Rep. Cecilia Buck-Taylor, R-New Milford.
Richard Field of Tolland, a Democratic challenger in the 53rd House District.
Rep. Auden Grogins, D-Bridgeport.
Rep. Douglas McCrory, D-Hartford.
Michael Meadows of Sprague, a Republican challenger in the 47th House District.
Rep. Kim Rose, D-Milford.
Anthony Salvatore of Cromwell, a challenger in the 32nd House District.
Matthew Waggner of Fairfield, a Democratic candidate for the open 133nd House District seat.
Sen. Dante Bartolomeo, D-Meriden.
Timothy Larson of East Hartford, a Democratic candidate for the open seat in the 3rd Senatorial District.
Sen. Anthony Musto, D-Trumbull.
Ben McGorty of Shelton, a Republican candidate for the vacant seat in the 122nd House District. A special election will be held July 22 to fill the vacancy left by the death of Rep. Lawrence Miller.
Office Primary grant General election grant
Governor $1,354,250 $6,500,400
*Other State Offices $406,275 $812,550
State Senate $38,990 or $83,550** $93,690
State House $11,140 or $27,850** $27,850
* Those offices are lieutenant governor, secretary of the state, comptroller, treasurer and attorney general. Candidates for lieutenant governor can only get a grant for a primary. In the general election, one grant goes to the ticket of governor and lieutenant governor.
** The larger amount goes to legislative candidates in districts dominated by one party. The theory is the primary is tantamount to the election in those districts.

NICK LENKER
RECREATION: FIRST PERSON
This exhibition addresses the complexities of dealing with identity and intimacy within virtual and digital spaces. Exploring voyeurism and performance of self, Philadelphia artist Nick Lenker uses hand-built ceramic objects, digital video and sound to transform the gallery into a narrative environment that tells the story of a character whose world is rendered through three-dimensional, digital modeling software and whose existence is the sum of the objects he collects through his journeys. Artist Talk: Thursday October 12, 6:30pm.
NARRATIVE HORIZONS
Narrative Horizons presents the work of three women—Kay Healy, Sophia Narrett and Erin M. Riley—whose contemporary studio practices are heavily influenced by traditions steeped in functional craft and the handmade. Presented in conjunction with CraftNOW—a citywide exhibition examining the fluid boundaries that exist around art, design and craft—this show considers how contemporary revivals of sewing, weaving and embroidery reflect the continuing feminist interest in historical technique and play a crucial role in helping these artists understand the past while addressing identity in the present and future. Artist Talk: Thursday, October 19, 6:30 pm.
Bodyworks is a festival of performances, workshops and collaborative projects that examine the body as both material and tool in contemporary performance. Incorporating practices of dance, theatre, costume and sound, this exhibition brings together a diverse group of Philadelphia artists who use their bodies to engage viewers with their craft and create new spaces for social action, dialogue and representation. Presented in conjunction with CraftNOW, the Levy Gallery will be transformed into a multi-use performance space that will host a robust calendar of performances and community events. Unless otherwise noted, all events are free & open to the public and will take place in The Levy Gallery for the Arts in Philadelphia. For more information and to see a complete calendar, including a number of partner events, visit thegalleriesatmoore.org/bodyworks.
The fall of 2017 exhibition season featured artists including Andrea Baldeck, Kay Healy, Nick Lenker, Sophia Narrett, Erin M. Riley and Ursula von Rydingsvard. All of the shows were presented in conjunction with CraftNOW, a citywide exhibition celebrating Philadelphia's rich legacy in craft and promoting the city's continuing role as an incubator for arts based in fiber, wood, clay, metal, glass and more.
ANDREA BALDECK & URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD: VISIONARY WOMEN
September 9 – November 11, 2017
The Galleries at Moore are pleased to honor both Visionary Women Awardees Andrea Baldeck and Ursula von Rydingsvard with presence in The Galleries' fall exhibition season. Presented in conjunction with CraftNow—a citywide exhibition examining the fluid boundaries that exist between, among and surrounding varying practices in art, design and craft—the exhibition features a selection of photographs of craftsmen and women taken by Baldeck throughout her international journeys and a series of recent handmade paper by von Rydingsvard.
August 5-26, 2017 Featuring final thesis work by candidates in Moore's graduate programs: MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations and MFA in Interior Design.
Featuring recent works by Moore alumni, the selections on view in this year's exhibition represent a variety of degree programs including Fashion Design, Fine Arts, Illustration, Photography & Digital Arts and Textile Design, among others. Showcasing a wide variety of mediums and skill sets, this presentation includes over twenty-five artworks that, together, provoke contemplation of a dystopian future. Though some works document reality, others are the result of imaginative abstraction and creative vision where people, animals and objects become mysterious creatures in their own landscapes. Curated by Robert Chaney, Director of Curatorial Affairs, ICA Philadelphia and Tory Savery, Founding Director, Savery Gallery, Philadelphia.
Featuring final thesis work by candidates in Moore's graduate programs: MFA in Studio Art, MFA in Community Practice and MA in Social Engagement.
DRAWING ON & ON /// MAIL ART ED.
An exhibition of drawings by Social & Studio Practices faculty, alumni and current students. Building on the 2016 exhibition Drawing On and On which grew out of a live, one day drawing rally event, this exhibition will extend the life of the drawings on view by soliciting contributions via mail. In the long tradition of Mail Art, many objects have been compiled together from disparate networks of friends and strangers.
DRAWING & PAINTING INTO PATTERN
The digital print designs were created by students enrolled in Professor Heather Ujiie's Drawing and Painting Into Pattern course. After viewing the work from the New South Asian Art Collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, students created their own textile print designs based on their research from the Museum. Student work represents an interplay between analog and digital techniques, and thier designs are digitally printed on plotter paper. Most of the motifs are hand painted with both gouache and dyes, and afterward the textile repeats are created in Adobe Photoshop.
Featuring final thesis work by candidates in Moore's graduate programs: MFA in Studio Art, MFA in Community Practice and MA in Social Engagement
Hosted by The Galleries at Moore College of Art & Design and organized by Philadelphia Sculptors, 5 Into 1 features work by recent graduates from BA, BFA and MFA programs at five Philadelphia art & design schools. Participating schools include Moore College of Art & Design, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Tyler School of Art at Temple University, University of Pennsylvania and The University of the Arts. This year's exhibition presents works by eighteen artists in a variety of mediums that demonstrate "transformation" of some kind.
An annual exhibition featuring work created by graduating seniors in Moore's BFA programs. Including Animation & Game Arts (AGA), Art Education, Curatorial Studies, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Illustration, Interior Design, and Photography & Digital Arts (PDA).
PAPER GIANTS
January 28 – April 15, 2017
Paper Giants is an ongoing project that brings together the works of three New York-based artists: Ky Anderson, Meg Lipke and Vicki Sher. Each work is exactly 72 x 60 inches on heavyweight paper and while all three artists utilize varying colors, mediums and composition, their collaborative rigor is decidedly evident. The exhibition was conceived in 2013 to investigate the ways in which a small group can present individual ideas within a shared space and through similar format, while at the same time maintaining their independent studio practices. This collective presentation includes new works by all three women, alongside recent works that have been previously shown.
RAIR: FILTHY RICH – PROJECTS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE WASTE STREAM
Situated inside the Revolution Recovery construction waste recycling center in Northeast Philadelphia, RAIR (Recycled Artist In Residency) interrupts the waste stream in order to promote and support sustainable practices in the worlds of art & design. RAIR has facilitated over forty artist residencies, special projects and performances since its founding in 2010. Filthy Rich: Projects made possible by the waste stream focuses on twenty-five of those projects reflecting the emergence of two prevailing themes: "site as medium" and "material as medium." Co-curated with Billy Blaise Dufala, Director of Residencies at RAIR and Lucia Thome, Director of Special Projects at RAIR, the presentation will include sculptural objects, photography, video & performance and process documentation.
Artists in the exhibition: Jaime Alvarez, Mariel Capanna, Mary Ellen Carroll, Christina P. Day, The Dufala Brothers, Tim Eads, Jesse Harrod, Gabe Michael Kenney, J. Louise Makary, Martha McDonald, Monument Lab, Theo Mullen, Matt Neff, Ana Peñalba, Francesca Pfister, RAIR, Lauren Ruth, Lucia Thome, Traction Company, Jeff Williams and Bryan Zanisnik.
ANA PEÑALBA: PHILLI
Ana Peñalba's practice is built upon continuous research that explores architectural systems and theories, ultimately interpreting their cultural significance through collaborations and varying creative disciplines. This exhibition presents Peñalba's most recent work that was created during her fall 2016 residency at RAIR where she had the opportunity to explore Philadelphia and reproduce some of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks using waste.
MARK STOCKTON: INDEPENDENT(S)
Mark Stockton's latest work, made specifically for this exhibition, focuses on the radical female voice and the breadth of its interpretation through hand-drawn imagery. Working from photographs of women — including Alice Neel, Gertrude Stein, Georgia O'Keefe, Joan Didion, Kathleen Hanna and Angela Davis — taken exclusively by men, Stockton investigates how the popular is made familiar, rendering intimate portraits in pencil with extraordinary detail. In addition to the introduction of this new series, this presentation will include selections from previous projects that focus on portraiture, male identity, and American individualism.


Seasonal influenza, commonly called "the flu," is caused by influenza viruses, which infect the respiratory tract (i.e., the nose, throat, lungs). Unlike many other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people. Some people, such as older people, young children, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent seasonal flu is by getting a flu vaccination each year.
If I got the flu or the flu vaccine last year, will I have immunity against the flu this year?
Not necessarily. Several studies conducted over different flu seasons and involving different influenza viruses and types of flu vaccine have shown that a person's protective antibody against influenza viruses declines over the course of a year after vaccination and infection, particularly in the elderly. So a flu shot given during one season, or an infection acquired during one season, may not provide adequate protection through later seasons.
The decline in protective antibody against the flu that occurs after vaccination or after flu infection may be influenced by several factors, including a person's age, the antigen used in the vaccine, and the person's health situation (for example, chronic health conditions that weaken the immune system may have an impact).
This decline in protective antibody has the potential to leave some people more vulnerable to infection, illness and possibly serious complications from the same influenza viruses a year after being vaccinated or infected.
So, for optimal protection against influenza, annual vaccination is recommended regardless of past vaccination status or flu infection.
Does the flu have complications?
It is very difficult to distinguish the flu from other viral or bacterial causes of respiratory illnesses on the basis of symptoms alone. There are tests available to diagnose flu.
Do other respiratory viruses circulate during flu season?
In addition to flu viruses, several other respiratory viruses also can circulate during flu season and can cause symptoms and illness similar to those seen with flu infection. These non-flu viruses include rhinovirus (one cause of the "common cold") and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the most common cause of severe respiratory illness in young children as well as a leading cause of death from respiratory illness in those aged 65 years and older.
Most healthy adults may be able to infect other people beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body.
Yes. There are influenza antiviral drugs that can be used to treat flu illness.
