The state of Arizona has clear laws defined for driving under the influence. However, when it comes to riding a bicycle while under the influence of an intoxicant in Arizona, referred to as BUI (Biking Under the Influence) or CUI (Cycling Under the Influence), the laws are different. Read on to understand the bike laws in Arizona better.
A "Bicycle" is defined as a device which is propelled by human power. Racing wheelchairs also fall under this category. A person may be able to ride on the device which either has two tandem wheels, either of which is more than sixteen inches in diameter, or it has three wheels that are in contact with the ground, any of which is more than sixteen inches in diameter.
On the other hand, a "Motor Vehicle" is defined as a self-propelled vehicle, or a device by which a person or property may be transported on a public highway. Devices moved by human power are excluded from this category.
By definition, bicycles are not motor vehicles as they are not self-propelled. Since the DUI statutes in Arizona define drunken driving as someone being in control of a motorized vehicle while under the influence, pedaling a bike or riding on a skateboard does not qualify as a motorized vehicle, hence you cannot face a DUI on a bike in Arizona.
Similarly, you cannot be charged with a DUI in Arizona if you are riding a horse while under the influence. The DUI laws in the state of Arizona require you to be actually in control of a vehicle while under the influence to be charged. The driver could be in control of a four wheeler, or some type of ATV, to be charged with a DUI. The deciding factor is the horsepower of the vehicle for someone to be charged with a DUI.
If you are not sure whether the ride you were on actually constitutes as a vehicle in the state of Arizona or not, get in touch with a DUI defense lawyer. Most lawyers provide a Free Initial Consultation session, which gives you the opportunity to discuss your case before hiring them.
"Moped" refers to a bicycle that is equipped with a helper motor. It is a small motorcycle that generally has a less stringent licensing requirement than motorcycles and automobiles. A moped will typically travel at about the same speed as a bicycle on a public roadway.
A "Motor driven cycle" refers to a motorcycle with a motor that produces no more than five horsepower. This includes every motor scooter.
An "Autocycle" refers to a three-wheeled motorcycle on which the driver and passengers ride in a fully or partially enclosed seating area.
The vehicle is equipped with a roll cage, and has safety belts for each occupant. It also has antilock brakes and is designed to be controlled with a steering wheel and pedals.
For more information on these and other terms, refer to 28-101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.


Flood kills 10 , displaces 7, 342 in Plateau – Royal Times of Nigeria.
Ten people lost their lives, while 7, 342 others were displaced by flooding in Plateau between May and July this year, according to a top official of the Plateau Government.
Executive Secretary of the Plateau State Emergency Agency (SEMA), Alhaji Hassan, Barde, who made the disclosure on Friday in Jos, said that 1,153 houses were destroyed during the period.
He said that 832 villages were also submerged by flood.
"Since May, we have recorded 10 deaths caused by flood, with 1,153 houses destroyed and 7, 342 people displaced from their homes.
He named Jos North, Jos South, Bokkos, Kanke, Wase, Shendam, Mikang, Jos East, Langtang North and Langtang South as the worst hit areas.
The executive secretary said, however, that the figures were not static because the rains were not yet over.
He added that the value of the damage was estimated at N5.2 million.
Barde said that the agency was doing everything necessary to alleviate the suffering of the people affected by the floods.
"SEMA has already put in place arrangements to carry out what is called Rapid Post Disaster Need Assessment.
"Very soon we will be going out to the Local Governments affected.
"We will want to see the people displaced, where they are and what they need, to be able to come back and immediately make appropriation to the State Government for intervention.
The SEMA chief explained that the agency had been carrying out public awareness on allowing free flow of water and indiscriminate dumping of refuse.
He said that the agency was also collaborating with other agencies, including Urban Development Board, Jos Metropolitan Development Board, among others to ensure compliance with rules guiding erecting of structures.
Barde said that his office had already reported the disaster to the National Emergency Management Agency for possible assistance.

ED: When it comes to stopping human trafficking, surely we can do better
Tribune Editorial
Published at 03:13 am July 4th, 2021
Oftentimes, this progress is limited to a handful of remarkable cases and does not bring a systemic change into effect
The scourge of trafficking, an appalling violation of human rights, continues to be a blight on our nation even in 2021.
According to a recent US report, titled "2021 Trafficking in Persons Report," Bangladesh has made considerable progress in tackling human trafficking, but continues to fall short in many crucial areas, as a result of which we are still ranked in Tier 2.Our efforts to prosecute more, especially in the case of labour traffickers, and operate relevant tribunals have been commendable. Additionally, working with foreign governments on transnational cases and launching investigations into fraudulent tactics intended to deceive migrant workers are also markers of an increasingly progressing nation.
However, oftentimes, this progress is limited to a handful of remarkable cases and does not bring a systemic change into effect. This is especially the case for official complicity in human trafficking cases, which is utterly inexcusable, and indicative of the broader, more far-reaching consequences of the country's culture of impunity.
What we need, therefore, is a holistic approach that not only tackles immediate cases of human trafficking, but delves into its systemic causes, and pays particular heed to the experiences of marginalized and vulnerable populations, such as children, sex workers, and the Rohingya.
As with many, if not most other systemic issues in Bangladesh, tackling the culture of impunity, especially among government officials who choose to look the other way or even openly facilitate crimes as severe as human trafficking, must be a priority. When it comes to ensuring our people's security and fundamental human rights, we still have a long way to go.

Air raid alerts added by Google for Android phones in Ukraine
The feature is supposed to be supplemental to the already existing raid alert systems. The company's VP of Engineering said that Google has used the same low-latency system that it uses for detecting earthquakes.
March 14, 2022, 18:00 IST
Washington [US], March 13: American tech giant Google will now be adding Air Strike alerts for its Ukrainian Android users amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis.
According to GSM Arena, this update comes as part of Google's Play Services and reportedly, the company is enabling it at the request of the Ukrainian government.
Earlier, shortly after the Russian military operation in Ukraine commenced, the company had announced that it would disable some of its Google Maps features in Ukraine such as traffic information and crowd data. Their argument was that the data could be used as military intelligence.

It can be seen directly or indirectly in the work of Peter Paul Rubens, Jusepe de Ribera, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and Rembrandt, and artists in the following generation heavily under his influence were called the "Caravaggisti" or "Caravagesques", as well as tenebrists or tenebrosi ("shadowists").
Caravaggio trained as a painter in Milan before moving in his twenties to Rome.
Caravaggio employed close physical observation with a dramatic use of chiaroscuro that came to be known as tenebrism.
There he again established himself as one of the most prominent Italian painters of his generation.
He traveled in 1607 to Malta and on to Sicily, and pursued a papal pardon for his sentence.
He developed a considerable name as an artist, and as a violent, touchy and provocative man.

Olivia Rodrigo joins Taylor Swift as the only two female artists to claim Spotify's entire Top 10 US Chart
By SAAB LARIOSA Published May 26, 2021 7:04 pm
Taylor Swift may be newbie singer Olivia Rodrigo's longtime idol, but the 18-year old artist is gradually rising up to Swift's level—at least in Spotify charts.
Fil-Am singer Olivia Rodrigo's album 'Sour' is out and it's filled with heart and heartbreak
With the release of her debut album "SOUR," Rodrigo took up Spotify's entire US Top 10 charts, a feat that was only previously achieved by Swift's 2020 surprise album "Folklore."
Released last week, May 21, "SOUR" follows Rodrigo's journey after the success of Driver's License reportedly about her breakup with High School Musical: The Musical co-actor Joshua Bassett.
Rodrigo has been vocal in thanking fans for the success of her album, as she plans to be consistently transparent through her songwriting process.
"I'm so lucky songwriting and music exist. I hope you guys enjoy the 34 minutes and 46 seconds of me spilling my guts out that is called sour," she shared on Instagram, "thank you for helping me turn all my unhappy feelings into one of the best moments of my life."
Olivia has also credited Swift numerous times as an inspiration, with the country singer somehow taking on a mentor role and once calling Olivia "baby" on Instagram.
A post shared by Olivia Rodrigo (@oliviarodrigo)
Aside from Spotify, "SOUR's" sixth track good 4 u is also #1 at the Billboard Top 100 Charts and is the most pre-saved album on Apple Music from May 14 to 20.

Sachs takes to sky to mark launch of parasailing regulations
October 2, 2014 2014 campaigns, elections, legislature, State Senate.
One small step for Sachs
Risking wisecracks about her re-election campaign finally getting off the ground, Delray Beach Democratic Sen. Maria Sachs plans to go parasailing Thursday to mark the launch of new regulations she sponsored that apply to the industry.
Sachs, embroiled in a rematch of her 2012 contest with Republican Ellyn Bogdanoff, plans to talk with reporters about the new law then go aloft at Aloha Water Sports near the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale.
"I believe this a new day for the industry and I'm excited to help promote the significant strides we've made," said Sachs, who pushed to enact regulations on water sports for a decade.
The measure (SB 320) requires parasailing outfits to carry $2 million in insurance and prohibits them from operating when winds top 25 mph, or when 15 mph gusts are present.
Lightning within 7 miles of a parasailing site also would temporarily shut down parasailing, under the legislation signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott and taking effect Oct. 1.
Until now, regulations on the industry apply chiefly to boat operations, not customer safety. But several horrific crashes and parasailing deaths in recent years got the attention of Sachs and eventually, the industry.
Water sports industry officials are expected to join Sachs for the event, along with Rep. Gwyndolen Clarke-Reed, D-Pompano Beach, House sponsor of the bill.
The new law is named for Amber White, a teenager who died in a parasailing tragedy in 2007, and Kathleen Miskell, a tourist who died in a parasailing accident in 2012.
According to legislative analysts, there have been 21 parasailing accidents in Florida from 2001 through last October, resulting in 23 injuries and six fatalities.
In 10 of the accidents, high winds or gusts were found to be a contributing factor. In six of those 10 accidents, there was also equipment failure.
The other 11 accidents reportedly were caused by a variety of factors, including operator error and equipment malfunctions.

Scotland becomes first country to make period products free
Nov 25, 2020 3:44 AM EST
In a world first, the Scottish Parliament on unanimously approved legislation making period products freely available to all.
Edinburgh, UK - The Scottish Parliament on Tuesday unanimously approved legislation making period products freely available to all.

Period Products (Free Provision) (Scotland) Bill, brought forward by Labour health spokeswoman Monica Lennon, will bring in the legal right of free access to items such as tampons and sanitary pads.
Under the bill, the Scottish Government must set up a nation-wide scheme to allow anyone who needs period products to get them free of charge. It will also require schools, colleges and universities to make a range of period products available for free.
The bill will also give the Scottish Government the power to make other public bodies provide period products for free.
United Kingdom (UK) British supreme court denies Scotland the right to hold an independence referendum
"Proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation, making Scotland the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them," Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said in a tweet after the vote.
Lennon said the bill was a "practical and progressive" piece of legislation, made all the more vital because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to news agency Press Association.
"Periods don't stop for pandemics and the work to improve access to essential tampons, pads and reusables has never been more important."
"On the issue of period dignity, I am beyond proud that Scotland is leading the way and we have moved at a fast pace in a short space of time," she added.

I like the poem and the photo at the bottom.
A soothing poem for hard times and the sociable dove is absolutely cute!
That dove is very friendly. Thank you, Danik!
Your ending is perfect, Frank.
I like that poem, Frank, and that photo at the bottom. He looks like a forgiving sort.
He does. I'm surprised to get him looking right at me wondering what I'm doing there. Thank you, Dan!
I think that blame will in the end be a burden…. that's when you learn to forgive.
This really is your topic, Frank. I can't believe you have difficulty forgiving. Your poems about it are always so calm and gentle.
Burying past hurts seldom solves the problem Well done Frank… a good prompt to make us think.
Like this Frank! Really not easy to forgive and forget. It swims upstream against human nature.
Gives us something to do. Thank you, Rob!
I like how you've packed so much into a small poem, Frank, and the smooth shift from internal thoughts to the external pathetic fallacy of weather.
I agree with Rod, forgiveness swims against human nature; so much so that my whole poem is dedicated to that struggle.
It is kind of paradoxical. It is not easy to forgive, but once one has forgiven someone it is hard to see why it was so hard.
A very positive message. Nicely done.
May the rain wash away that blame.
I hope it does. Thank you!
Thanks for the prompt Frank. Your poem is so beautiful, yes, clouds are always changing…and transformed by rain.
I like the image of an emotion raining itself out.
That seems like what the pain of an emotion is – rain. Thank you, Sarah!
I like the hope of that transformation with the rain. You caught that bird spot on Frank,nice!
Thanks for hosting our Poetics prompt.
Burying passing pain….we do that so often. Well crafted.
With efficiency of words you have touched on the complexity of the issue Frank.
So much hope in your words!
Forgiveness is so difficult for many. It takes tremendous self-growth to get to that place 😢 Your poem is beautiful and I love the last line.
There's wisdom in these brief lines, Frank. Well written.
What a lovely poem Frank. I find it hard to believe you struggle with forgiveness; your poems are so calming.
What I am beginning to realize is pain can be a blessing, an open door. Thank you, Linda!
Blame and regret certainly are tied together. Nicely done.
I love the clouds transforming with the rain. Beautiful!
Frank, I love that you're hosting a topic of "blame and forgiveness". This is a powerful combination to help explore the gift of forgiveness to heal. Your poem at the same time captures the pain of blame and the grace of forgiveness. Thank you. You touch my heart with the peace in your writing. And the photo is perfect! Isn't that a peace dove?
I'll share this for #ForgivingFridays in March. Likely will be next week, as I'm going on a trip to Austin in a few days!
So twitter is now 280 characters. I like your reference to crumbs of divided attention. No longer whole.
Forgiveness is not easy, but blame is toxic. I like the optimistic note in your poem!
Good point about blame. It is toxic.

FR CASEYS GAA CLUB NOTES
West Intermediate League
Fr. Caseys Vs Glin – Tuesday July 6th in Glin at 7.30pm
County U17 Championship
Fr. Caseys Vs Galbally – Wednesday July 14th in Abbeyfeale at 7.00pm
West Senior League
Fr. Caseys 0-13 Adare 1-06
Last Tuesday evening in Abbeyfeale, Fr. Caseys faced Adare in a top of the table clash. Both sides lined out without their county senior and u20 representatives due to upcoming Munster fixtures. Fr. Caseys started the brightest with a fisted point from Rory O'Brien followed by a point from play by Jamie O'Connor. Adare levelled proceedings before the first water break and then emerged the stronger to rattle the net on 18 minutes to take the lead. A well taken point by DJ Stack kept Fr. Caseys in touch but Adare would then kick two unanswered points to take a four point lead. A point from Daniel Daly before half time reduced the margin to one goal. The half time score was Fr. Caseys 0-04. Adare 1-04.
The twenty minutes after the restart totally belonged to Fr. Caseys as they found an extra gear and kicked six points without reply to turn a three point deficit into a three point advantage. A point from Rory O'Brien was soon followed by a pointed free from Jamie O'Connor. Next up on the scoreboard was captain Chris Smith with a point to level. Chris along with Rory and Daniel were full of energy throughout the night and caused Adare plenty of headaches with their running game. A pointed free from the ever reliable Jamie O'Connor was then followed by a fine point from the evergreen David Ward. Another Rory O'Brien point extended the lead to three points before Adare finally opened their second half account. Any notion of a comeback was dispelled with two pointed frees from Rory O'Brien and another Daniel Daly point. Adare claimed the final point of the night but when the final whistle went it was Fr. Caseys in command with a 0-13 to 1-06 winning margin.
This was a very positive performance from Fr. Caseys who earned a deserved victory over strong opponents. Achieving this victory without five county representatives shows the strength in the panel. The opening period of the second half was particularly impressive and although there are areas of improvement the team are on a good momentum ahead of championship.
Fr. Caseys 0-08 Cappagh 2-06
Following on from the Senior victory on Tuesday, our Junior A Footballers were looking for a repeat result against Cappagh on Wednesday night in Abbeyfeale. It was Cappagh first out of the blocks with a goal inside the opening ten minutes. Before the first water break the sides exchanged points with Eoghan O'Connell on target for Fr. Caseys. Over the next ten minutes Cappagh would kick 1-02 without reply to stretch their lead to eight points. Needing a response before the break, up stepped Eoghan O'Connell with two points to reduce the margin to six at the break. The half time score was Fr. Caseys 0-03, Cappagh 2-03.
While Cappagh kicked the first two points of the second half, Fr. Caseys finally found their groove and points from Pa O'Connor and Seamus Lenihan along with a brace of pointed frees from Jamie
O'Connor had the deficit back to four points at the final water break. A point from Jamie O'Connor reduced the margin further but Cappagh soon restored their four point gain as we entered the final five minutes. Although Fr. Caseys continue to push for a lifeline in the closing stages there would be no more score as Cappagh held on to win. The final score was Fr. Caseys 0-08, Cappagh 2-06.
The final score did not do Fr. Caseys justice and if they had been more clinical in the final third this result could have been difference. Hopefully this can be resolved in their final group game away to Glin and then the subsequent championship opener against Newcastle West.
2021 County Championship Draws
The draws for the 2021 county championship campaigns took place last Tuesday night with Fr. Caseys Senior and Junior A team both emerging in Group 4 in their respective grades. In both competitions there will be four groups of three teams, with the top two teams qualifying for the county quarter-finals and the bottom teams entering a relegation semi-finals.
In the Senior draw Fr. Caseys have a potentially difficult group paired against our in-form neighbours Newcastle West and last year's beaten semi-finalist Galbally. All the teams in this group will have high aspirations and we expect some nail biting encounters before this group is settled. Galbally and Newcastle West will meet in the opening game of this group with the loser facing Fr. Caseys in round 2. Fr. Caseys will then face the winner of Round 1 in the final round of games. The dates for the various rounds of the senior and junior championships will be released after the next CCC meeting.
In the Junior A draw Fr. Caseys have been paired with Newcastle West and Hospital/Herbertstown. Fr. Caseys will play Newcastle West in round 1 of the group with the loser of this game playing Hospital/Herbertstown in round 2 and the winner playing in round 3.
Good Luck Limerick
Best of luck to the Limerick Senior Footballers who take on Cork in the Munster Semi-Final this Saturday July 10th in the Gaelic Grounds at 3pm. Limerick are on the back of a very impressive Quarter Final win over Waterford and an equally impressive league campaign. While Cork will enter as favourites, this Limerick side will be brimming with confidence and are well capable of causing an upset. Fr. Caseys are proud to be represented by Adrian Enright and Cormac Roche on this panel.
We also wish the best of luck to the Limerick U20 Footballers who take on Tipperary this Thursday July 8th in Semple Stadium in the Quarter Final of the Munster U20 Championship. Fr. Caseys are proud to be represented by Dylan Quirke, Sean Kilbridge and Eliah on this panel.

I've stayed at Cypress House before but admittedly it has been a few years since my last stay. My return stay was nothing short of excellent, with a quick and friendly check-in, and upgraded room offering.
The room was clean and spacious. The staff most friendly and accommodating.
The only change I'd make is having coffee service available earlier in the morning for those of us that may buck the lazy Keys trend and rise earlier than those that may have had a more bachanelian evening the night before. Breakfast and the daily happy hour were quaint and an added bonus to my stay.
Overall, a great hotel in a quiet location a couple of blocks for all the action in Old Town. Highly recommended!

I've spent the past seven months writing about New Testament textual criticism, showing how ancient Greek New Testament manuscripts have errors in them. In spite of the errors (most of them spelling mistakes), the Bible still presents a consistent message.
For the past few weeks, I've been focusing on the last name in Matthew 1:7-8. The person referred to was, Asa, a King of Judah. The oldest existing Greek New Testament manuscripts record the...

If you've been following along in my blog, you're probably hoping I'll move onto a different subject. I'll present one more type of critical apparatus, this one comparing some ancient Greek manuscripts with modern critical editions.

Last week I wrote about the sigla used in the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament, Third Edition (UBS3) (The latest is UBS5). Today I want to do a similar exercise for the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, 27th Edition (NA27) (The latest is NA28). The apparatus presented by UBS is much shorter than NA, and is a bit easier to understand. One big benefit of UBS is the rating system, which helps the reader determine how...

Last week I wrote about critical editions of the Greek New Testament, and showed some pictures of Matthew 1 from several editions. Some of those pictures also had the critical apparatuses in them, which seem very cryptic. Actually, they are codes, and anyone who knows the non-secret code can decode an apparatus (with some practice). The symbols are technically called sigla (plural) or siglum (singular).

What is a Critical Edition of the New Testament?
As I've written before, different scholars have different opinions about which Greek manuscripts most closely resemble the original texts written by the New Testament authors, and they use different sets of rules to determine the most appropriate readings. When scholars put their beliefs into practice, a new critical text of the New Testament is created. The text may be published many times in different editions, just as the text of the King James...

What are the Most Important New Testament Manuscripts?
August 29th, 2020 Paul Gibson
The New Testament was written in the first century, but the date each book was written is highly debated. Conservative Christians usually date most of the books of the New Testament before A.D. 70, since there is no mention of the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army, which occurred that year. Other people claim much of the New Testament was written after A.D. 70, and that any apparent prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem was written after...

July 11th, 2020 Paul Gibson
I've stated repeatedly in previous articles that most textual variants are simple mistakes made by scribes when copying the New Testament, but some changes are intentional. When trying to decide if a variant could be original, textual scholars start by asking two questions:
Is the Variant Meaningful?
Often, mistakes do not create a meaningful text. Spelling errors may produce a series of letters that aren't really a word. Jesus instructed...

Textual variants are words or phrases in a manuscript that are different from the standard text. There may be several textual variants for a verse in the Bible, such as the last verse of the Lord's Prayer.

Home » An introduction to games technical art
An introduction to games technical art
As we highlighted in our GamesIndustry.biz Academy guide to becoming a game artist, there are a myriad of specialties existing within that wider art label.
From characters to UI, being an artist in games can require vastly different skillsets. One such specialty is technical art.
Ahead of our full guide to finding a job as a technical artist in the coming weeks, technical art director at Atomhawk Liam Fleming gives us an introduction to the craft.
What does technical art entail?
"By and large, technical artists work as a bridge between artists and programmers," Fleming tells the GamesIndustry.biz Academy.
"More traditional art roles are usually focused on the creative side of the process, such as designing the characters, props, or environments, essentially defining an artistic vision, and executing on it by building the required assets. They home in on more traditionally artistic skills such as the ability to draw, design or sculpt.
"Technical artists ensure assets and pipelines are developed in such a way that the artistic vision remains as intact as possible"
"Technical artists on the other hand are more focused on ensuring assets and pipelines are developed in such a way that the artistic vision remains as intact as possible without exceeding the demands of the platform the game runs on."
Technical art roles are problem-solving positions, Fleming continues, explaining that they will solve these visual or artistic issues drawing on both programming and art skills, whether that's by pushing forward R&D, automating a pipeline, or enhancing the game's visuals or performance.
"In short, a technical artist is comfortable being dropped into any area tasked with improvement, breaking down, analysing, adapting, and directing the course of development," he adds.

Figuring out the daily tasks of a technical artist in games isn't an easy feat as it's a varied role that can become quite different depending on the size of the studio as well.
"Day-to-day tasks can vary from more visual tasks based around capturing a particular look and feel, to more process-based tasks creating new workflows or tools for the art team at large," Fleming explains.
"In my career, it has been tremendous to see what we have been able to achieve modifying lighting, shaders, post processes, materials and more — it is possible to not just completely change the entire look and feel of game, but really elevate it to a whole new level of quality that really matches the art team's core vision."
"As an ever-growing field with evolving technology, it requires more and more targeted skillsets for any specialty area"
He highlights that there's often a misconception about what "technical" means in that job, with companies having varying interpretations of what a technical artist can be. There's also a lot of sub-categories of technical artists.
"Some consider an artist that can do any level of work in tools beyond the standard, such as making a custom shader, 'technical' — while others see them as an offshoot of programmers.
"In reality, much like every other discipline, it is a multifaceted, multi-role skillset that covers a myriad of areas. While it is true that some core principles can and are shared across the differing TA roles, overall, there is usually a lot of variety. As an ever-growing field with evolving technology, it requires more and more targeted skillsets for any specialty area."
As an example, he provides the following table to compare the skills of a UI technical artist with ones of a character technical artist, which present a stark difference:
The path to becoming a technical artist
Like many jobs in the games industry, there isn't one unique straight path to becoming a technical artist. And, like many jobs in the games industry, your best selling point is your portfolio.
"Some people naturally arrive there from an art background or programming angle after joining the industry, but for those that already know it's the area they'd like to work in, it is best to use platforms like Linkedin and social media to demonstrate your portfolio and seek feedback," Fleming says.
"Follow companies or people that inspire you and be unashamed in reaching out for advice as much as possible. If you are just starting out, then hedge your bets using recruitment teams to get yourself heard. Ensure you have a strong targeted portfolio, clearly demonstrating problems solved in achieving a certain look, game performance level, or tool development. Finally make sure your portfolio is accessible and easy to find."
He adds: "Obviously the more focused industry development experience a candidate has the better, but we understand that this is not always possible. A strong showreel and portfolio are essential to get across your skills, and remember that it is always better to have quality over quantity."
A degree in computer science or game development is a solid foundation to become a technical artist, Fleming continues, suggesting to look for courses that focus on game engines as they provide a broad knowledge base to start with, and then allow you to focus in once you find your feet.
"Look for one that piques your interest and, if possible, seek a course taught by current veteran game developers, that way you will get the benefit of their knowledge and experience as there is always more than one way to achieve something.
"I would also advise, when looking at courses, that you ensure they include HLSL, C++, Python, Unreal Engine or Unity development, and a strong background in engine architecture and rendering pipelines.
"Often technical artists are asked to develop solutions that have never existed before, so there is need for a broad range of skills, adaptability, experience, and attention to detail to bring it all together"
"In addition to this, try to get your hands dirty with software packages that you are likely to use in industry such as Maya, 3ds Max, Photoshop, Z-brush, Substance painter, Substance Designer and Houdini. Understanding not just the tools artists already use, but a bit of art theory and the artistic process is essential to being able to develop the best solutions you will need on projects."
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think outside the box are key qualities to a good technical artist, Fleming says, more than their programming knowledge.
"Games development is an imperfect environment, so a flexible and adaptable attitude to the ever-changing landscape of development and its roadmap as well as a thirst for knowledge is key," he continues. "Often technical artists are asked to develop solutions that have never existed before, so there is need for a broad range of skills, adaptability, experience, and attention to detail to bring it all together.
"[I look for people] with a strong problem-solving mentality, who are able to think outside of the box and draw on their range of skills and experience from across the development pipeline, to ensure they meet the ever-changing challenges."
Concluding our chat, Fleming highlights the opportunities for career progression as a technical artist.
"Unlike many careers, technical art is one which opens the doors for an individual to get their hands dirty in many different areas of development. The landscape of progression for technical artists is an ever-changing and expanding one especially as more and more services adopt a real-time pipeline. It is the type of career which allows someone to move, learn and develop not only as an artist but as an individual without becoming stale."

The New Bathroom Wall
"Bored at" web sites
By Lizzie Widdicombe
Most of the comments uttered at Harvard after the appointment of its new president, Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust, are probably lost to history. One exception is a conversation held recently at 12:35 A.M.:
Hail to the new president
What's her name again . . .
DR. FAUST
Faust Haus . . .
Harvard has made a Faustian bargain, it seems.
This exchange took place on bored-atlamont.com (the name refers to the undergraduate library at Harvard), a Web site whose original version, strangely, began last year in Butler Library, at Columbia University. Its creator, Jonathan Pappas, was in Butler the other night, explaining the source of his inspiration. "Basically, I was sitting in that room"—he pointed to Room 209, an undergraduate study area—"and I was thinking, I want to create something to beat my boredom," he said. Using his laptop and the school's wireless connection, he bought the domain name boredatbutler.com, for nine dollars, and built a simple Web page consisting of a post box—where visitors can write public messages—and a note of introduction: "Post your thoughts . . . but keep it anonymous!"
That night, Pappas put up a few flyers. By morning, the site had accumulated more than two thousand messages. (One of the first: "I'm a big chubby boy looking for a big chubby zebra.") Pappas has since graduated and relocated to Silicon Valley, and he has expanded the "bored at" empire to include eleven schools.
From Brown (boredattherock):>
Annie Leibovitz is overrated. . . . Give me a camera, a beautiful well-known celebrity, and I'll give you a few good shots too. Gimme a break.
Can someone help me find my virginity? I think I lost it in grad center last night
FUCK, I left my coke outside the window to chill and it froze solid
I am really tired
I am really cold
When's the housing lottery?
From Princeton (boredatfirestone):>
Party in Frist and Firestone all night WOO!!
You guys are boring.
Anyone else hungover?
In terms of volume, the Harvard board stands out. In five months, it has accumulated more than a hundred and seventy thousand posts—twice as many as the original version, at Columbia—for reasons that remain a mystery. "I wish I had an answer," Pappas said. "I can tell you that Christmas Day it had two thousand posts—isn't that strange?" But, he admitted, the Harvard site has a reputation for posts that involve sex, often in and around the library. "I actually feel like boredatlamont is more effective in getting people to hook up than parties at Harvard," one user wrote on a recent night at 2:39 A.M.
A few weeks ago, Andrew Fine, a Harvard sophomore, walked into a study area, and a post went up almost immediately: "Sigh I saw Andrew Fine today at Lamont. He was wearing a yellow shirt and blackish jeans. How can someone look so good in such ordinary clothes." Fine, who wrote a Crimson column criticizing the site ("Sad@Lamont" was the headline), said, "A friend e-mailed me and was, like, 'Someone's watching you in Lamont right now.' It's totally weird." Though Pappas says that writing about individuals is against the rules, he has a philosophical attitude toward the site's content: "If you give people the ability to say whatever they want, sometimes you'll get the most brilliant comments, things that you think belong in a book somewhere. It's an infinite spectrum between extreme ignorance and extreme brilliance."
At Harvard, however, not everyone agrees on the site's potential for profundity. Gordon Teskey, an English professor, wrote in an e-mail that he was interested in poetry but not, necessarily, in "typing by Harvard students." The poet Peter Richards grew nostalgic for a line he had once seen scrawled on a condom dispenser ("This gum tastes funny"). "It seems that ever since that ink /scratch-resistant paint for public bathrooms was invented, literary graffiti, or graffiti trying to be literary, has become a lost tradition," he wrote. "So I don't know, maybe this site, with all its cruising, gripes, pronouncements, and happy anonymous filth and such, is partly in response to that missing venue."
Presented with sample posts ("Classes suck," "Is Prince gay?"), Stephen Greenblatt, a professor who is the general editor of "The Norton Anthology of English Literature," was more optimistic. "There could well emerge, taken together, a certain accidental prose-poetry out of these brief notes," he wrote. "But Shakespeare it ain't. The short lines remind me of certain Dada-like moments in early Harold Pinter—or, better still, Charles Mee."

VP Academic candidate profile: Franz Kurtzke
Written by Jack Hauen
Jack Hauen
Fourth-year philosophy major Franz Kurtzke is running for VP Academic and University Affairs (VPAUA) on a platform of free speech and social justice reform — largely the same topics included in his lettering campaign, for which he gained a bit of notoriety after entering locked campus residences without permission.
Kurtzke's platform is three-pronged: he wants to improve "viewpoint diversity" at UBC so students "learn how to debate"; promote "comprehensive research-based dialogue" on rape culture and sexual assault; and introduce "antifragile" mental health policies — he likes safe spaces, but not trigger warnings.
The most important issue he'll face in office, Kurtzke said, is opening up dialogue. He wants to find people who are self-censoring conservative viewpoints and make them feel free to speak, as Kurtzke said he feels "unsafe" as a white man enrolling in GRSJ classes.
During the debate, he said getting UBC to adopt the Chicago Principles — a commitment to free speech made by the University of Chicago and other institutions — would be a top priority, but a "totally long shot."
Kurtzke also wants to improve the waitlist for psychiatry; cut down on classes with "To Be Announced" professors during registration; improve TeachEval and CoursEval; remove the requirement from housing contracts for medical cannabis users to register with Student Housing and Hospitality Services prior to possessing cannabis in residence; and increase course content on psychedelic medicine.
Kurtzke gets a warning from the RCMP after entering and distributing letters in a locked campus residence without permission. File Gil Henriques
Kurtzke has been asked multiple times by The Ubyssey where free speech is being impeded at UBC and has either refused to answer the question or mentioned an incident in which he said he was "bullied" by female Ubyssey staff for pitching an article arguing against rape culture — as previously mentioned in his various lettering campaigns.
At the debate, he also gave an anecdote about getting negative reactions after speaking up about men's lack of reproductive rights in PSYC 350, a class of human sexuality.
Otherwise, he said that self-censorship is rampant. He also said many professors agree with him, but did not disclose any names.
While Kurtzke's narrow platform could conceivably be accomplished under the VPAUA's portfolio, he refused to make any commitments during the debate about what students would actually see from him by the end of the year, and was upfront about his lack of knowledge regarding the position and its responsibilities.
"I didn't know that this position existed until a week, or less, ago," he said in his campaign video.
On Reddit, he wrote, "the goal here is to put me in a position to be able to have significant impact on things, from the inside, to promote free speech, and reform of the social justice movement."
During the debate, Kurtzke either could not speak on or admitted he didn't know anything about every specific VPAUA responsibility mentioned, including the Academic Experience Survey, UBC's Excellence Fund, UBC's policy on sexual assault, or anything the VPAUA office has accomplished during his UBC career.
"I can honestly say that I'm not aware of any impact, positive or negative, the VP Academic office has had on my life," he said, adding that that might be because the AMS isn't advertising their services properly — something his opponent, Max Holmes, agreed with.
Kurtzke doesn't have anything in his platform about housing, equity, affordability or liaising with the administration, which are traditionally major priorities of the VPAUA.
"I think they are implied," he said during the debate, noting that he thinks he should focus on specific priorities in order to get things done.
Franz Kurtzke for VP Academic
Nathaniel Christopher
Regarding equity, Kurtzke said, "I think we need to focus on inclusivity, but some of it, it's a bit too much," and that "some of this hyper-political stuff is actually making the situation worse."
When asked to name the most important group he'd work with during his term, Kurtzke responded with the administrators, specifically Senior Advisor to the Provosts on Academic Freedom Neil Guppy and President Santa Ono. He said he doesn't think that VPAUA has met with administration recently, which is false.
After multiple questions about topics Kurtzke seemed to have little to no grasp on, he took a chance to rebut one of Holmes's answers to state that he felt "ambushed" and didn't "like the direction this was going," mentioning unspecified "ethical concerns" in the room.
Kurtzke declined to be interviewed for this article, first stating that he was "too tired and busy," then after the debate that the author seemed "incorrigibly shady."
Near the end of the debate, student Senator Ian Sapollnik asked Kurtzke how he can determine he doesn't need a working knowledge of major parts of the VPAUA's responsibilities when he doesn't know what those responsibilities are.
"When I take office, I'll be in precisely the same position as all previous candidates. Everyone has to start somewhere," said Kurtzke. "And that's where I'll start — with the beginning."

Carnegie Medal awardee Terry Brown saves 14 year old
Posted on July 1, 2015 by Carnegie Hero Fund
Joshua A. Peterson, right, of Brookings, Ore., owes his life to Carnegie Medal awardee Terry Brown, a deputy with the Curry County, Ore., Sheriff's Department.
On June 2 last year, Joshua, then 14, was in the surf near shore at a state park beach along the Pacific Ocean at Brookings when he was swept farther out, into deeper water, by a strong current. He called for help. On duty, Brown, 33, was among the first responders and, although not trained or equipped for rescues of the type, donned a life jacket and entered the 54-degree water with one end of a 100-foot-long rope. Reaching the limit of the rope, Brown released it and continued to Joshua, who was then 240 feet out.
Unable to make progress in their return to shore, the two awaited help, Brown supporting Joshua as rescue efforts by the Coast Guard, firefighters, police, and the county's search and rescue team were effected. More than a half-hour after he entered the water, and by then considerably weakened himself, Brown was pulled to shore with Joshua by the rescue team. Suffering hypothermia, they required an overnight stay in the hospital, where this photo was taken, but each recovered. For his efforts, Brown was awarded the Carnegie Medal in March. Further details of his actions, and another photo, are on page x. Nineteen others from throughout the U.S. also received the medal for heroic acts.

Nirmalah and Teh show the water filtration system.
KUCHING: Nestlé Malaysia has joined the Global Peace Foundation (GPF) to launch the 'Safe Water, Safe Communities' project, aimed at providing clean water to deserving communities.
The initiative will engage five villages in Tasik Chini, Pahang, to install water filtration systems that will provide clean water to over 650 villagers.
A press release said the water filtration systems use Swiss-designed technology approved by the World Health Organisation, which will remove bacteria and provide safe, chemical-free water to the communities.
"Water is essential for life and access to clean, safe water is a basic human right, which is a necessity for communities to survive and thrive. However, there are rural communities in Malaysia with limited access to clean water due to their remote locations and inadequate equipment to purify their water," said Nestlé Malaysia executive director of group corporate affairs Nirmalah Thurai.
GPF CEO Dr Teh Su Thye said the collaboration will see the installation of water filtration systems in the communities, followed by community engagement activities, and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) training for children and adults to raise awareness on the importance of personal hygiene and cleanliness.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Nestlé to spearhead this project in bringing clean water to the underserved Orang Asli communities. With Nestlé's deep commitment to clean and safe water access, we hope that our partnership will be able to positively impact more communities and lives across Malaysia," he said.
The installation and community engagement activities will run until December.

Patrice Talon, född 1 maj 1958 i Ouidah, Dahomey, är en beninsk affärsman och politiker, som blev Benins president den 6 april 2016.

Biografi
Talon har sitt ursprung från Fonfolket. Han studerade först vid universitetet i Dakar och därefter vid National School of Civil Aviation i Paris. Hans önskan om att bli pilot omintetgjordes dock av ett ej godkänt medicinskt test.

Känd som "King of Cotton" (svenska: "Bomullskungen") för sin inblandning i bomullsindustrin, byggde Talon sitt imperium genom förbindelser med den politiska klassen i Benin. Han var supporter till president Thomas Boni Yayi och finansierade dennes valkampanjer åren 2006 och 2011. År 2011 tog han över importen i hamnen i Cotonou. Året därpå flydde han till Frankrike efter att ha anklagats för att ha förskingrat mer än 18 miljoner euro av skattemedel. Han anklagades också för inblandning i en komplott att döda Boni Yayi, men frikändes 2014.

Presidentskap
Talon deltog som oberoende kandidat i 2016 års presidentval. Efter att ha slutat tvåa efter premiärminister Lionel Zinsou i den första valomgången vann han den andra omgången med 65% av rösterna. I ett tal den 25 mars 2016 lovade han att "först och främst ta itu med konstitutionella reformer", bland annat genom sin plan för att begränsa mandaten för landets presidenter till en enda period av fem år för att bekämpa "självbelåtenhet". Han sade också att han planerade att minska regeringens storlek från 28 till 16 medlemmar.

Talon tillträdde som president den 6 april 2016 och tillkännagav sammansättningen av sin regering samma dag. Ingen premiärminister utsågs, och två besegrade presidentkandidater (Pascal Koupaki och Abdoulaye Bio-Tchane) som hade backat upp Talon i den andra valomgången utsågs till nyckelposter. Koupaki blev presidentens generalsekreterare och Bio-Tchane minister för planering och utveckling. Talon lovade att under sina fem år förstärka Benins finanser och förbättra landets förbindelser med Frankrike. Några av hans politiska mål, som att minska regeringens makt och utse presidenter enbart till enstaka perioder om fem år, är uppseendeväckande förslag i Afrika.

President Patrice Talon har lett landet sedan 2016 och anses sedan dess ha fört landet mot en allt mer auktoritär riktning.

Every day the news has another story about some IT company or car company developing its own self driving car. Now that self-driving cars are a reality, what are some of the ethical and legal issues surrounding self-driving cars driven by artificial intelligence?
Now here's another scenario for you to consider. I don't know about you, but I don't consider myself much of a speeder. Still, I often drive slightly over the speed limit." What's the big deal doing five miles per hour over the limit? If no one is around, why not punch it up to 10 and do 75 in a 65. No biggie. Or it's a deserted straightaway in the middle of nowhere. Why not bump it up to 90 in a 75?" We all "know" that cops don't write tickets for a few (whatever that means) miles over the limit.
Regulations and laws for self-driving cars are in their infancy now. In April of 2016, a group of companies including Ford, Uber, Google, Lyft and Volvo formed a coalition to advocate for safety regulations for self-driving cars. I'm a bit cynical about the coalition though. My gut tells me that this is more about eliminating any laws that stand in the way of self-driving cars and less about regulating ethical dilemmas. It's a start though.
The snowball of self-driving cars is growing and coming faster than you think.

Money Well Spent: Bears 23 Lions 16
by Fro Dog
This was another close game. But damn. Talk about fighting it out. Chase Daniel was outstanding. $10 million spent on this guy and he's earned every penny so far. Sure, he overthrew the ball a couple of times. But he was very much part of this win. It gave Mitchell Trubisky some time to rest. It's nice to see the Bears actually spend their money wisely on a player. For years, it's been the opposite. The defense was finally, outstanding in the fourth quarter. There was a stat (cue Yeti) shown that the defense has given up the most fourth quarter points in the NFL. With it being close, the defense stepped up on the final two drives.
Chase Daniel – Read above. In addition, two great touchdown passes.
Running game – This is still a concern. I still wasn't happy with some of the play-calling by Nagy. There were a couple of situations where it was second and short only to see a passing play. Some may wonder why guys like Jordan Howard can't get going in a game. He needs more rushes and consistently. Tarik Cohen was great all-around. He had one of the touchdown catches and he put the game away for good by getting a hard-fought first down.
Offensive line – They held it together, despite the four sacks. I guess two games in 85 hours is an excuse. They are missing Kyle Long big time. Credit to James Daniels, who's been outstanding all year. He helped Cohen get that first down to seal the deal by basically carrying him an extra yard or two. Amazing.
Defense – Eddie Jackson with the pick six for the eventual, game-winner. Kyle Fuller with an interception in the end zone late to get the Bears back on offense. The line did well despite giving up some big runs to LaGarrette Blount, but he was kept to under 100 yards.
Matt Nagy – I am praying he learned his lesson after that idiotic decision to go for two after that first touchdown. That was inexcusable. Take your chances with the extra point. Let's pray he has faith in Cody Parkey to get points because he did get two extra points and a field goal in this game.
Next up are the Giants a week from Sunday.
Before some well-deserved rest, let's do this again, shall we?

1) I made two delicious almond crumb cherry pies with my bare hands in the last three days. One went to an office party, the other I donated to firehouse for their Thanksgiving meal. My Thanksgiving desert is a cherry pie from a grocery store.
I am done forever with store-bought pies.
2) After years of watching the secondary get I-passed to death late in games or getting shredded by Pro Bowlers, rookies, and journeymen QBs, it was a beautiful thing to watch Jackson get a pick-six and Fuller catch and hold Matt Stafford's early Christmas gift of an INT.
The Bears need to get starts, or timely turnovers.
3) Where was Chase Daniel last year while we were suffering through the Mike Glennon Experience? Or maybe John Fox was that much of a knucklehead that he really couldn't be an NFL head coach anymore ("Isn't a division title enough?")?
4) 8-3, two and a half games up on Minnesota. Lions out of contention. Home game against a Packers team in free-fall. Pressure will be all on the Vikings.
5) Happy Thanksgiving. Go Bears.
OBTW…
Matt Nagy needs to make the Bears a four quarters, sixty minute team. Once again, the Bears offense went beddy-bye in the second half while the defense was slowly but surely getting worn out. Nagy needs to find a way to start maintaining possession and scoring second half TDs. The D shouldn't have to rely on getting TDs off turnovers to win close games all the time.
For today, I went to my usual diner on the other side of town for my Thanksgiving lunch. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, a Mountain Dew and piece of chocolate pie. Winner.
Chase Daniel was on the Chiefs last year as a backup. That's why he didn't sign with the Bears. Glad he's here now. It appears that Trubisky may even be out longer. That is not good.
As bad as this next point may sound, it's needed. We must cheer for the Packers to beat the Vikings this Sunday so the Bears can gain more ground in the division. With five games to go, it would help immensely.
As a Packers fan, you can forget about the Packers beating the Vikings. The Packers desperately need a new head coach. He lost the team two years ago and still they bring him back! The Pacers have no defense and no offensive line. They're a mess heading for the cellar in the Division.
I agree with sarmy. Bad coach and even worse management. That roster is poo poo. Green Bay rarely wins at Minnesota even when they're playing at an elite level. Amazing how a team with Rodgers very likely could finish below .500.
I know some may disagree, but I actually thought the Packers had a very good chance to win on Sunday. Sure, I was selfish and wanted them to win the help the Bears. But I just felt that since the Vikings came off of a loss, that their chances of bouncing back would have been less likely.


Safehaven Marine's World Record Attempt vessel Thunder Child and her crew of six departed Galway Docks after a trial run up the West Coast of Ireland.
After months of testing, this 350 kilometer run from Cork to Galway along the Atlantic coast is Thunder Childs last long-range test before her record attempt later this summer – the Long Way Round Circumnavigation of Ireland via Rockall.
The crew, under skipper Frank Kowalski, averaged 42–kts. The crew stopped off at the Skelligs off County Kerry for an hour to get some photos (see above).

Combating obesity with new Okinawan rice
1 April 2014 12 August 2018 admin 217 Views agriculture, gent, Health Insurance, medical, okinawan, prefectural, rice, science, technology, unit
In recent years, Okinawa has recorded the dubious distinction of having the highest obesity rate in Japan. Preventing obesity-related diseases is an urgent issue. Professor Hidetoshi Saze of the OIST Plant Epigenetics Unit is leading a new research project to develop a new strain of rice that produces digestion-resistant starch to prevent these diseases. The project, fostered by the Okinawan government, involves three activities by the medical, agricultural, and food industries: development of the new rice strain, nutritional and physiological analyses, and processing and sales.Nanshoka-Mai, or rice with digestion-resistant starch is a new breed of rice rich in starch that does not as readily break down into glucose. This rice strain was first developed by a research team at Kyushu University 30 years ago. The starch from most grains, which consist largely of an unbranched glucose polymer known as amylose, is normally broken down into glucose during the digestive process and serves as our primary energy source. However, excessive consumption of sugars (simple carbohydrates) can cause life-style-related diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. This new strain of rice is expected to serve as an alternative preventative measure. In addition to its anti-obesity effect, gathering evidence suggests that the rice with digestion-resistant starch may also provide other benefits, such as lower blood sugar levels, reduced neutral fat, and harmful cholesterol levels, and prevention of lipid accumulation in the liver.Despite its great promise, when researchers planted the original strain of resistant-starch rice in Okinawa, the yield per hectare was about half that achieved in mainland Japan.

China's clean-water program benefits people and the environment
7 September 2013 12 August 2018 admin 102 Views china, farming, greater, project, rice, supply, university
Sep. 5, 2013 — Rice farming near Beijing has contaminated and tapped the city's drinking water supply. For the past four years, China has been paying farmers to grow corn instead of rice, an effort that Stanford research shows is paying off for people and the environment.Rice farming is more lucrative than corn for Chinese farmers, but flooded paddies contribute to decreased water quality and quantity.The brown, smog-filled skies that engulf Beijing have earned China a poor reputation for environmental stewardship. But despite China's dirty skies, a study led by Stanford environmental scientists has found that a government-run clean water program is providing substantial benefit to millions of people in the nation's capital.The Miyun reservoir, 100 miles north of Beijing, is the main water source for the city's more than 20 million inhabitants. Greater agricultural demands and a decline in precipitation, among other factors, have cut the reservoir's output by two-thirds since the 1960s. The water has also become increasingly polluted by fertilizer and sediment run-off, and poses a significant health risk.Similar conditions shut down Beijing's second largest reservoir in 1997; shortly after, officials began implementing a plan to prevent the same from happening to the Miyun reservoir.The system follows the successful model established by New York City, in which the government and wealthier downstream consumers provide payouts to upstream farmers, who in turn modify their agricultural practices to improve water conditions.In the case of China's Paddy Land-to-Dry Land (PLDL) program, farmers are paid to convert their croplands from rice to corn, a solution that reduces both water consumption and pollution. Rice paddies are constantly flooded and are often situated on steep slopes, leading to significant fertilizer and sediment runoff. Corn, meanwhile, requires much less water, and fertilizer is more likely to stay in the soil.Improving rural lifeThe program is indicative of China's recent efforts to improve living conditions for its rural citizens."At the top, China sees environmental protection and poverty alleviation as vital to national security," said Gretchen Daily, a biology professor at Stanford and senior co-author on the study. "The challenge is in implementing change. It's amazing that in four short years, the government got everyone growing rice in this area to switch to corn, which greatly improved both water quality and the quantity that reaches city residents downstream."Farmers earn almost six times more money growing rice than corn, so the government compensated farmers with funds that more than made up the difference. …
