Investors are expected to keep Illinois farmland prices up in 2022 | Illinois
(The Center Square) – Farmland prices are expected to continue to rise in 2022.
That was the consensus of 93% of attendees at a recent University of Illinois farmland market webinar.
Sixty percent of those surveyed at the webinar said they expect farm prices to rise by 5% next year, AgUpdate reported. Thirty percent said they expect farmland prices to rise more than 5% next year.
The dramatic 20% rise in farmland prices in 2021 makes Glenn Semple, vice president of Farm Credit Illinois, nervous – in spite of the fact that the farm economy is quite healthy, he said.
"I'm not saying land values are going to go down," Semple said. "But if commodity prices were to decrease by 25% or 30% and interest rates were to go up by 1.5% or 2%, it would be challenging for land values to stay where they are at."
For most buyers – the majority are investors and cash buyers – rising land prices are not an issue, Semple said. However, buyers on the margin could get into trouble if they overpay, he said.
"They are setting themselves up for the potential for it to be painful if land values come back 10% or 15% or 20% off of the highs and they bought at the high," Semple said.
For cash-heavy investors looking to diversify their holdings, farmland's attraction is that it is not directly correlated with the stock market or any other holdings.
"They are probably a little strong on what they are paying for the land as a long-term return on investment, but if a billionaire is buying farmland and paying a little too much for it, they won't feel the impact to any great degree," Semple said.
Semple's concern is for the young farmer who is paying $2,000 or $3,000 an acre more for farmland than it may eventually be worth a couple of years down the road, he said.
Farmland values have a tendency to move in the opposite direction as interest rates, Semple said.
"We have been in a 40-year downtrend of interest rates. So land values have been in close to a 35-year trend upward," he said
To determine land value, the calculation works like this: Take the typical cash rent of a farm and reduce that by real estate taxes and any expenses that an absentee landowner would have. Divide that by the interest rate on a 10-year treasury rate to get the price.
With interest rates at rock-bottom lows, the cap rate is down, so the same amount of income can support a higher land value.
"If interest rates were to go up significantly, absent an increase in the income stream generated by that property, land values would adjust downward," Semple said.
The other driving factor in the price of farmland real estate is commodity prices, he said.
In the past 12 months, corn and soybean prices have skyrocketed. Eighteen months ago corn was nearly 50% less than what it is today. Soybeans were 35% less than what they are today.
"A large crop in 2022, where commodity prices come back to earth, would take some of the fluff or some of the air out of some of these farmland prices," Semple said.

Q: std::copy for copying vector to priority_queue I am trying to copy a std::vector into std::priority_queue while the following two approaches are working.
vector<int> parts = { 8, 4, 6, 12, 57, 28};                          //source
priority_queue<int, vector<int>, greater<int>> minHeap;              //target

approach 1:
all_of(parts.begin(), parts.end(), [&minHeap](int& part){minHeap.push(part); return true;});

approach 2:
for(int& part: parts) minHeap.push(part);

However, I'd like to know if the same can be done by std::copy?

A: Yes, it can be done with std::copy(), but only if you write (or find) a custom OutputIterator that calls the queue's push() method when the iterator is written to. The standard library has no such iterator built-in for calling push() (but it has std::front_insert_iterator for push_front(), std::back_insert_iterator for push_back(), std::insert_iterator for insert(), etc).

So , last week I chatted with you about mombre hair and my love for all things Drew Barrymore. As I mentioned I had been unintentionally rocking the style out of sheer laziness (read: long roots) for many many months. But after my uber fab hair stylist Kelly upped my hair game by making me more "intentionally" mombre with icy blonde ends and rich brown roots meant it was time to give my hair a little more TLC in the cleaning and maintenance department.
I mean I know I can probably go another 8-12 months without another trip to the salon, it is mombre after all and I am a bit lazy that way, but not if I don't take care of my tresses. My icy blond will turn, well, dirty blond and that's just not so cool.
So what to do to keep my hair looking as good on day 200 as it does on day 7? Well, it means shampooing my hair ONLY every 3-4 days (or longer now that I am rocking my toques on a regular basis again). A little squirt of dry shampoo keeps my roots looking fresh from days 2-4 as well.
And on the days I do shampoo? Well, it's time to cough up a little dough girls and get a quality product that won't make your blond brassy or dry out your hair too much. Ditto for the over-shampooing – your hair needs it's natural oils y'all!
Now this is one of the rare times I love a product so much that I will rave about it without any incentives at all. Enter Pureology Hydrate Shampoo. Not only does this shampoo smell like a little slice of heaven (reminiscent of Aveda's Shampure actually) it is also paraben and sulfate free. It is made with a super concentrated formula and has anti-fade properties so you only need a small dab (no really!) to whip your hair into an amazing, luxurious lather. Sooooooo good!
The conditioner is completely amaze-balls as well. A little bit goes a long way and leaves even newly color treated hair (hello!) super smooth and shiny.
So rock out your awesome mombre ladies but remember to take care of it too!

Barclays former CEO: Banks in the block chain innovation in the wind
nnnAntony Jenkins, former chief executive of Barclays Bank, said in an interview with CNBC that banks have lagged behind technology giants in the development of new technologies such as block chains. He stressed the advantages and great potential of the block chain technology, pointing out that if banks can not keep pace with the rapid development of financial technology, they will face a great crisis of survival.n
nAntony Jenkins, former chief executive of Barclays Bank, warned once again that big banks may be in the midst of competition in emerging financial technologies such as block chains.n
nAntony Jenkins led Barclays to a turbulent period from 2012 to 2015, and he told CNBC that although banks were always innovating, they had difficulties in transforming their outsiders.n
nJenkins said in an interview with CNBC on August 24:n
nn"I think we see banks in all industries, especially in the financial services industry, that they are very good at innovation, they invest a lot of resources, but this transformation is much more difficult for them."n
nnHe said large technology companies and financial technology start-up companies are leading the field.n
nn"A little attention will be made to find that all the interesting transformation work is carried out in areas other than large banks, and these banks are beginning to realize that."n
nnOn August 22, a report by the World Economic Forum found that banks were lagging behind technology giants in developing technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and large data analysis. The study also concluded that financial technology companies failed to subvert the competitive landscape of financial services in the way they wanted.n
nThe block chain eliminates the need for middlemenn
nThe block chain records the digital books of the transaction through a distributed network, eliminating the need for intermediaries to supervise. The most common use is to carry out transactions such as royal currency.n
nJenkins said the banking system was being suppressed in this area because of the need for central authority.n
nHe said in CNBC's "Squawk Box" program:n
nn"If the world only has you and me, you have money and I need money, then we can do it directly, but there are billions of people around the world, so we need the banking system to do it."n
nn"But what the banking system is doing is to have a central focus on solving risk, and when you focus on solving the risk, you have to have a lot of capital support, which creates friction in the system."n
nJenkins said that although the block chain was originally only marginal technology, the mainstream financial services ignored, but its real potential is about to be realized.n
nn"I think it's like all the technological developments we see." At first, it's only on the brink of life, and most of the existing participants (in this case, the banks) tend to ignore it and want it to disappear. And then they began to pay attention to it and start some related experiments.n
n"But at the same time, they really learn the relevant knowledge."n
nnOn August 22, IBM announced that it would allow food giants such as Nestlé, Unilever and Wal-Mart to use its chain-chain network to track information about food sources, conditions and diversion.n
nIt takes only a few minutes to issue a loann
nJenkins also pointed out that distributed book technology can make the payment of the payment in a few minutes to complete.n
nn"Later, people may see that the mortgage is only ten minutes, and the letter of credit is only two minutes."n
n"Although we have not yet achieved this scenario, but it is only five years, ten years or fifteen years, it will save the bank system a lot of cost – basically caused by the low efficiency.n
nnHe pointed out in June that banks could face their "Kodak crisis" if they could not keep up with the pace of fast-growing financial technology, or repeat the mistakes of Blockbuster, the disc rental company.n
nHe said that the opportunities brought about by digital books can increase efficiency and save the cost of $ 80 billion to $ 110 billion.n
nJenkins was expelled from Barclays Bank in 2015. That year, he said in an interview with the BBC, said he was fired "surprised."n
nIn this interview, he declined to comment more on the matter.n
nHis 10x Future Technologies, a financial technology startup, is building a digital banking platform for a number of customers, including Virgin Money, founded by billionaire Richard Branson in 1995.n
nHe told CNBC:n
nn"We are building a platform now, and next year we will be rolling out the platform with our first customer, Virgin Finance, and we are working with other banks and customers."n

Molar pregnancy (also known as hydatidiform mole, hydatid mole, gestational trophoblastic disease) represents forms of abnormal conception caused by defective fertilisation resulting in excess expression of paternal genes in placental tissue. There are two forms of hydatidiform mole: complete (diploid androgenetic) and partial (paternal triploid), the distinction between which is important for determining appropriate prognosis and management of patients. Both complete and partial hydatidiform moles are associated with increased risk of development of malignant gestational trophoblastic tumours, the risk being much greater for complete hydatidiform moles. Whilst in most cases the diagnosis of these moles can be reliably achieved on morphological histological assessment, these represent a continuing diagnostic problem for histopathologists since in early pregnancy complete hydatidiform moles, partial hydatidiform moles and non-molar hydropic miscarriages may be difficult to distinguish.
In this paper, we propose a computational image analysis approach guided by the knowledge of expert pathologists in identifying essential distinguishing morphological criteria. The approach, which combines Fuzzy C-Means clustering with hue, saturation and value colour space, shows promising results as it is able to classify successfully the villi into appropriate regions, namely trophoblast and stroma, and extract areas of blood. However, because of the marked variations in size, shape and outline of the villi, and trophoblast proliferation, both within and between cases, the analysis shows that there is no single criteria which can reliably classify these products of conception and a combination of criteria is required.


So I got the cable neptune makes to connect the tunze pumps to their controller. Then downloaded a couple pump schedules others have saved to the community. Once everything was programmed I plugged it in and nothing.... after that I unplugged them and they turn on.
So I ran the preview of the schedule for one of the pumps and it came on in the middle of the schedule (peak intensity) and turned off before the schedule ran completion. I scratched my head, plugged the tunze pumps back into the tunze controller and now that tunze powerhead won't come on at all. I tried power cycling it but it still won't turn on.
I am afraid to go any further with the other powerhead. Did I do something wrong? BTW these are the older 6055 turbelle that did not have the attached controller they come with today. Any ideas why it wont work now?
Are the pumps clean and otherwise in good condition? Basically we want to be sure the titanium shaft is rigidly fixed in the motor, the propeller assembly is clean and free of calcium deposits as is the inside of the motor. Does the power supply indicator light come on? Roughly how old are these pumps? Controllers started in July 2015, but these pumps have been made since 2008, in general DC pumps have a life span of about 7-8 years as that is a limitation of the electronics, the capacitors will not hold a charge reliably after they exceed that age. The main APEX issue I encounter is that the cables do not seat sufficiently, the rubber boot needs to be pulled back so the pins can make full contact, if the contact is loose, the pumps will not run or may run but not in response to the controller.

Damia Group Limited acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and employment business for the supply of temporary workers. By applying for this position, you accept our Data Protection Policy which can be viewed om our website. Please see the link on our company profile.


Visit our Bankruptcy Do's & Don'ts page for information about which bills you should pay, and which you should not.
Simply give us a call, and we'll set up a free consultation meeting with you at our offices in Royal Oak, Michigan. Before the meeting, you can download our confidential, financial questionnaire, and bring it with you, or you can fill it out at our offices.
At the consultation meeting, we'll discuss your individual needs and options. We'll explain the process to you, answer any of your questions, and make sure your visit is pleasant and painfree. The in-person meeting is completely free; you are under no obligations if you attend. We just want everyone in Michigan to have the facts and know their rights regarding financial fresh starts. We've helped thousands of people just like you, and we'd be happy to help you too!
If you decide to file bankruptcy with our help, we'll give you the necessary paperwork, and all you you need to know to complete it. Much like when you apply for a loan, you'll need to list your assets and debts, and collect any documents to support them. Please make sure all amounts are listed correctly, as this is extremely important to the state of Michigan and will help your filing go as quickly and smoothly as possible.
When valuing your assets, you should use "garage sale value," or the amount you could reasonably expect to receive if you sold your item at a garage sale. If you have any questions about how to assess something, feel free to give us a call.
Once you're ready, just give us a call, and we'll set up an appointment for you to come into the office with your original documents. You don't need to worry about organizing the documents or making sure you have letter-sized copies. We have a state-of-the-art computer system that will scan in your documents and automatically organize them. It generally takes about 1 hour to get all of your information into the computer. We'll give you back your originals on the spot, so you don't have to worry about a second pick-up meeting.
Before we can officially file for you, you will have to complete a pre-filing bankruptcy debtor education class. Don't worry — it's easy, takes less than an hour, and can be completed online or in a classroom for around $30. There are companies that offer the classes online, but we can give you a list of our favorite classes (cheapest, quickest to complete, etc). Once you complete the class, the company will email or fax you a copy of your "completion certificate." Simply forward that to us, and we will add it to your file!
5. We File Your Case!
Once we have your paperwork, documentation, and class #1 completion certificate, we will file your bankruptcy petition with the court. Your case is now formally commenced! As soon as your petition is filed, the court will enter an Automatic Stay order prohibiting your creditors from taking or continuing any collection or legal action against you. This means no more harassing letters or phone calls while your case is in progress!
Next, the bankruptcy court will assign a bankruptcy trustee to oversee your case. The trustee is a federal employee appointed by the court to monitor your case and make sure you are eligible for bankruptcy. The trustee will review your petition, make sure that it is complete, and then schedule a Meeting of Your Creditors (also called a "341 Meeting" after the section in the bankruptcy code that requires it: 11 U.S.C. 341. ) to take place approximately 6 weeks after your filing date.
We do all the heavy lifting at this stage: filing the financial schedules and the Statement of Intention and serving copies of everything to the trustee, as required by the bankruptcy courts. We might call you for clarification during this time, but for the most part, you just get to sit back and wait for the Meeting of Your Creditors. You should receive a notice directly from the court within 15 days of your bankruptcy filing with the information about your meeting, but we will also call you to confirm.
You are required to attend the Meeting of Your Creditors, but don't worry, we'll be there with you! The meeting takes place at the courthouse downtown, but not in front of a judge, and not in the courtroom. You'll meet in a room with several other filers and their attorneys. And while it is called a meeting of your creditors, most likely, your creditors will not be there. The meeting is presided over by your trustee, and usually only last a couple of minutes. Typically, the trustee will conduct 20 meetings each hour!
The meeting is not a test or an inquisition. You don't have to justify why you filed for bankruptcy. It is only a fact-finding meeting for the trustee to determine if he has all the information he needs, or needs something more. At the very worst, if the trustee discovers new or questionable information during the meeting, he can file a motion or proceeding for the judge's consideration, but nothing will happen at the actual meeting. None of your rights can be won or lost in that meeting, and your attorney will be there to reassure you before, during and after.
When your name is called, you will be asked to take an oath, swearing to tell the truth. You will state your name and current address. You will verify your social security number, and that you have personally seen and signed the bankruptcy petition. The trustee will then ask you questions about your debts and assets, your income, who you owe money to, and if there have been any changes in your situation since you filed. If any of your creditors are present, they will have a chance to ask you questions as well, but again, it's not a place for confrontation or justification, and we'll be right by your side.
The meeting will be tape recorded, but that only means you need to speak clearly and loudly. There is nothing to fear, and we're with you every step of the way!
Before you can be discharged, you are required to take a second course: a pre-discharge debtor education class. It can also be taken online or in a classroom, from the same company you took Class #1 with, and costs around $25. Unlike the first class, this class is required by law to last at least 2 hours, so if you take the class online, make sure you have enough time alloted. Class #2 is a financial management class. It's not hard, but you do need to read every section carefully, as you will be asked summary questions.
Again, you will receive a completion certificate, which you must send to us, so we can file it with the court.
The trustee has exactly 60 days after your Meeting of the Creditors to decide if he recommends you get discharged immediately, or if he has any objection. Most cases are discharged without any further review.
The trustee can only raise objections if he believes there has been misconduct, like fraud, embezzlement, concealment or destruction of property or financial records, false statements, withholding information, failing to explain losses, failure to respond to material questions, or a discharge in a prior case. If you have caused any willful or malicious injury to another party, or gotten separated or divorced since you filed, the trustee can also file an objection.
Again, most cases don't require any extra steps, but this is why it's important to have a great attorney at your side throughout the entire process. Even if the trustee files a motion, that is just his opinion to the judge, and we will help you take the necessary steps to move forward.
At Moran Law Offices, we're committed to getting the best possible results for our clients as quickly as possible. For everyone. Every time.
10. Your New Life Begins!
Approximately a week after the trustee files his recommendation for discharge, you will receive your official discharge papers. You can now begin again, with a clean slate, and work toward a successful future!

1 Pro Tip To Create Emotional Depth In Deep POV
December 9, 2021 by Lisa Hall-Wilson 1 Comment
I have mainly been writing guest posts for other blogs and neglecting my own. *sad face* So, I'm hoping to post here more regularly going forward, but it will mean shorter posts. *mittened fist-bump*
One of the things that writers seem to struggle with a lot when shifting from limited third person to deep point of view is using the character's whole body to show emotions. We learn to remove the telling emotion and thought words, but don't add in how the emotion feels – the emotions stay in this cerebral thinking mode that doesn't really immerse the reader in how the character feels.
Limited third person POV allows the writer/author voice to summarize, explain, and justify how a character feels. Whereas deep point of view asks the writer to remove their own voice and capture what the pov character sees, perceives, feels, intuits, etc without that narrative explanation, justification or summarization.
With narrator/writer voice: Jarrah's heart was breaking and he didn't even care. How could he betray her like that again and expect her to believe the same lies? She wanted to double over with the pain filling her chest. Steve's fake contriteness was nothing more than a smoke screen. "I'm not buying it this time."
Without narrator/writer voice: Steve slouched his shoulders and peered up at her like a contrite puppy. He even made his lips quiver as though he was on the verge of tears. "It just happened. It didn't mean anything. I swear." He wrapped his hands around hers as though he shared his warmth. "It's you I love."
Jarrah snatched back her hands from his icy grip and folded her arms over her heart. He couldn't even come up with a new act. Same explanation, same affectation. Every. Single. Time. She would not cry. She drew in a deep breath and stiffened her spine even though her heart bled out. "I'm not buying it this time."
Do you see the difference with the writer/narrator voice and without? The reader must lean in and perceive the betrayal, the heartache, the resolve that's breaking her heart.
Add In Reactions
When something happens in the story, look for your POV character's emotional reaction. You've likely built in a thinking reaction – he was stunned, she gulped, etc. Many of these reactions are either telling (the writer/narrator voice is explaining, summarizing or justifying) or you've used a simple beat (just an action) when you need to upgrade to a complex beat (action that conveys emotion).
Let's say Sherry has just found out she's been fired for something someone else did.
Simple beat:
Sherry stuffed her hands in her pockets. "I don't understand."
Sherry shook her head. "I don't understand."
"I don't…" She stared at the floor. "I don't understand."
Complex beat:
Sherry's throat constricted, strangling her words. "I don't… I… Why?"
"I don't…" Sherry choked on the lump in her throat, coughing. "I…" Her vision blurred with tears. She sucked in a deep breath to regain her voice. "Why?"
When the emotional reaction remains solely in the character's head, in just their thoughts, it keeps the reader at a distance from the tension you're creating. The goal of deep pov is to immerse the reader in the lived experience of the character's journey.
The Body As An Orchestra For Communication
We feel emotions with our whole bodies. When we relegate emotions just to our heads, to our thoughts, that's usually a sign of trauma – of dissociation. And if that's what you're going for that's fine. The character can puzzle through why something that should hurt, does not. Or be thankful that this awful thing doesn't affect them. This clues the reader in that something is off.
But without that trauma or shock element, emotions should be felt throughout the whole body. Tension is felt in the shoulders, spine, joints, jaw, fingers/fists, gut, heart rate, perspiration, stability (sensation of weak joints or limbs, or quivering/shaking/trembling). You can show confusion, distraction, frustration, etc through disordered pacing, gestures that are truncated or jumbled – frantic movements that are inefficient or nonsensical – looking for keys in the fridge for instance.
Emotion can be heard when we speak. How does your character's voice change with emotion – not just volume (whisper, yell), but in tone, cadence/rhythm, or pitch? In North America, our voices rise in pitch just a smidge to communicate a question or surprise. Ever listened in on one side of a phone call between spouses? I shared very thin office walls with two men in long-standing committed marriages, and I couldn't hear the words that were spoken through the walls, but I could tell just by the way the tone of their voices deepened, softened, slowed, that they were speaking to their wives.
How does your character's posture or movements change with their emotions? Even emotions they want to keep hidden affect things that are outwardly observable (a point to keep in mind when your POV character is evaluating how someone else feels). Women (in North America at any rate) often affect a smaller posture when flirting or trying to gain the romantic attentions of someone else. We preen when feeling insecure (straighten tie, suck in gut, smooth out wrinkles or tug on hems, etc.)
Even very slight shifts in stance, shifting of feet or avoiding eye contact can communicate quite a lot.
Will you use this tip? Take one chapter of your manuscript and find a simple beat that stands in for the emotion/telling word you removed or wanted to write. And go deeper using some of these tips for showing emotional reactions. Try to have the emotion felt in the entire body, instead of remaining in the character's head.

Steve shifted from one foot to the other and his gaze danced back and forth across the floor. "I told you it means nothing. You know that."
The acid in her gut made her cringe and she grabbed at her abdomen. Maybe she could puke on his new Clark sandals. "And I told you this was your last chance." Her pitch became as shrill as a
whistle.
"You can't mean that, Jarrah." With an index finger to his lips, his puppy-like eyes and expression didn't work.
She tightened her arms across her heart and raised her chin. "Good-bye." She turned on her heal and marched off and the tension dropped away with each step. Yup, she'd done the right thing.


I turn on the Television and the picture shows as if it's going to stay on and then suddenly the picture goes black and no sound or picture at all, just a "Stanby" light blinking on and off. I have tried to pull the plug to the television and then plug it in again... it worked last night, but tonight it's doing the same thing again. HELP!!!
4 times. It keeps doing this forever...it never stops. I sent it to an authorized service center and they are looking at it now...no answers as of yet. 4 times. It keeps doing this forever...it never stops. I sent it to an authorized service center and they are looking at it now...no answers as of yet.
We will find out if your right...it's still at the sony authorized dealer to be fixed. Thank you for all your help. Any idea how much a new panel costs??? We will find out if your right...it's still at the sony authorized dealer to be fixed. Thank you for all your help. Any idea how much a new panel costs???
yes my tv goes on then it shuts off and the standby light blinks on and off! yes my tv goes on then it shuts off and the standby light blinks on and off!
I have the same problem watched it for 2 hours and the next day I turn it on it plays the pic and goes blank, and the red light blinks too. Any idea what it is??? I have the same problem watched it for 2 hours and the next day I turn it on it plays the pic and goes blank, and the red light blinks too. Any idea what it is???
How many times does the timer light flash between pauses? That will be a starting point.
4 flashes indicates possibility of a bad panel. 4 flashes indicates possibility of a bad panel.
My Sony KDL V40 XBR1 when the picture goes off it the green light goes Red and it blinks 9 times and a few succesions afterwards.
We followed the 'simple' troubleshooting tips then called the service center. As mentioned above 4 blinks indicates a bad panel. The repairman that visited said that he is ordering a new power supply (much cheaper than the back panel) for their first try. I will post again when my set is back on.
There is audio but no picture. The screen is black. The picture went suddenly. There were no issues prior to this loss of picture. What is the fix?
that is a good television. Sony have their own way of doing things, so I would call out a technician.
your backlight bulb or circuitry is likely the problem.
Sony bravia screen just stays on black and wont go to picture.
This also happened to me and may continue to get worse... If it goes away for a while after warming up, then it is the same problem... The LCD panel is probably going out, when that happens the cost to repair it is more than the tv is worth... If it is in warranty then you can have it replaced or fixed.
If the green light stay's on but no picture, meaning black screen! Then you have a bad back light inverter. You can order this at www.shopjimmy.com, select sony then your model number.
If you are somewhat handy you could do it yourself! but it requirestaken tv fully apart. There are a lot of screws that should be baggedseparate as you go along. To ensure tv can be reassembled. follow thesesteps or have a expert do it!
3the back light inverter has a metal cover over it, with very tinyscrews. Also you will see multiple wire plugs going into it. Usuallywhite/pink or white/blue.
If this sounds to confusing Irecommend having an expert do this work! If you have found this helpful. Good luck!!

SILVERCHAIR, FAITHLESS and JURASSIC 5 are amongst the second set of bands announced for next year's BIG DAY OUT festival in AUSTRALIA.
As previously revealed on NME.COM, next year's event is confirmed to take place from the end of January in Auckland (January 18), the Gold Coast (20), Sydney (26), Melbourne (28), Adelaide (February 1) and Perth (3).
Other new additions today include Amen, John Butler Trio, and a host of other Australian groups.
Festival organisers have announced major changes to the way the event is run following the death of a teenager last year, including the introduction of a "recommended minimum age" of 15 to enter the show.
15-year-old Jessica Michalik died following a crowd crush at the Sydney Big Day Out earlier this year (January 26).
Following her death, Big Day Out organisers conducted a survey on their official website, www.bigdayout.com, which has led to 12 changes that will be used at next year's event.
Fans at the event will also receive a free "Big Day Out pack" which will contain a refillable bottle of water, program and safety information.

The purpose of a backup battery for your garage door opener is to allow for continued use in the event that the electricity that fuels the opener becomes inaccessible. The last thing you want during a power outage is to climb on top of your car with a flashlight and teach yourself how the machine operates in order to manually open it. Can you imagine being the only family in your neighborhood who can't flee the hurricane or tornado because you can't get your car out of the garage?
Your garage door opener is currently plugged into an electrical outlet or hard-wired into your home's grid. If the breaker trips, or if your neighbor hits a power pole again, a power outage could make it impossible to open your garage door without a battery backup.
Storms can cause power outages and they make life difficult enough without trapping you in your home. There's never a convenient time for your garage door to stop functioning, but if you're planning to leave the house in a storm, you've got enough on your mind already. And after the storm, when everyone else is cleaning up and recovering, you don't need to be trapped, waiting for the power to be restored so you can get your garage door open.
Power outages and bad weather can cause their own emergencies. It's true that you can manually open the door once you've looked over the mechanisms, but emergencies are unpredictable. Can you imagine breaking the arm that does the heavy lifting, only to discover that you can't bypass the garage door opener at the time you need it the most?
Many newer garage door openers come with battery backups. It might sound like a frivolous novelty, but it can be extremely valuable in an emergency. Aftermarket battery backups are also available, and can be attached to your pre-existing garage door opener, as well.

*A Diaspora Epic: Indians Abroad
Posted on January 27, 2013 by Vinay Lal
The Indian diaspora is an ineluctable fact of contemporary global culture. Its presence around the world is signified by Indian writers of renown settled in the Caribbean, Britain, the United States, South Africa, east Africa, and Fiji; the widespread availability of at least some generic, or allegedly 'Mughlai', form of Indian cuisine; the emergence of hybrid forms of music –– among them, desi hip-hop and chutney; the proliferation of software engineeers and doctors of Indian descent; a nearly ubiquitous fascination for Bollywood; the growing engagement of diasporic Indians with the political cultures of their adopted lands; and much else.
If India, in some fundamental respects, is not one country, the Indian diaspora similarly does not exist in the singular. One can speak of the diasporas of the north and the south, though, in India, there is still little awareness of the complex histories of displacement, migration, and overseas settlement that have informed the Indian diasporic experience since the 1830s and 1840s when Indians first departed for Mauritius and the Caribbean. Newspaper reports from the last few days mention the emotional visit of the Prime Minister of Mauritius to the village in Bihar from where his ancestors made their way to an island that was one of the more remote outposts of the former British empire. More than a decade ago, something similar was reported about the homecoming of Basdeo Panday, then the Prime Minister of Trinidad, to his ancestral village.
In India's metros, and increasingly in larger towns, a good number of people have some kin living abroad. When the designation NRI first came about around three decades ago, it signified only those diasporic Indians who, in the middle class imagination, had done the country proud. Indeed, it would no exaggeration to suggest that for many people, 'NRI' meant only Indians settled in the United States, and to a lesser extent in Canada and Britain; in recent years, Australia has made the cut. It is said that more than 25% of the start-ups in Silicon Valley are run by Indians, and statistics are flaunted with evident glee to suggest that Indian scientists, engineers, and especially doctors occupy a hugely disproportionate place, considering that Indians are just marginally less than 1% of the American population, in the professions. This is the diaspora that the Indian middle class holds up as an example to India itself. Thus the observation, encountered at every turn in conversations at middle class homes, that the same Indians who are unable to make anything of themselves in their country flourish overseas.
However, even in the US the story of the Indian presence has more twists and turns than is commonly imagined. The Punjabi farmers, students, and later Ghadrites who made their way to the US in the late 1890s and in the subsequent decade saw their numbers dwindling when the entry of Indians and other Asiatics to the United States was prohibited by law in 1924. Many Indian men married Mexican women, and thus we have Punjabi-Mexican Americans. The vast bulk of Indians arrived in the US following the immigration reforms of 1965: notwithstanding the common impression that they are largely affluent and highly educated professionals, Indians also ply taxis in New York, dominate the Dunkin Donuts franchises around the country, and of course have a huge hand in the motel business. In California's Central Valley, which Indians have helped to turn into one of the country's greatest agricultural hubs, 14% of the Indians according to a 2005 report lived below the poverty level and 35% had not even earned a high school diploma.
The origins of the other Indian diaspora lie elsewhere, in the political economy of colonialism that sent indentured laborers, mainly from the Gangetic heartland and the Tamil country, to forge the white man's empire of sugar, rubber, and cash crops. As one prominent scholar opined, indentured labor was simply a new form of slavery. Nationalist opinion, and the efforts of English sympathizers such as C. F. Andrews, aided in shutting down the system of indenture in 1917, but not before 1.5 million Indians had sold themselves into debt-bondage. They lived in appalling conditions, in the "lines" formerly inhabited by the slaves. These Indians humanized the landscape, tilled the soil, and put the food on tables: they are the great unsung heroes and heroines of our diaspora.
At the present moment, in the midst of the 'NRI season' and the celebration of the recnetly concluded Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, it is well to reflect on the future of the Indian diaspora. Among the affluent Indians in Britain, Canada, and especially the United States, there is some desire to influence the course of events in India itself. On the other hand, as the massive exodus of Indo-Fijians since the coups of 1987 and 2000 suggests, 'mother India' is frankly unable to do very much to enhance the rights of its dispersed children besides engaging in grand rhetorical exercises in impotent institutions such as the Commonwealth.
India's policymakers are mainly interested in how the diaspora can feed the engine of growth in India. But we need a less impoverished and more civilizational view that would make us aware not merely of the accumulated narratives of our Silicon Valley 'miracles' and the triumphant success, year after year, of Indian American children at the National Spelling Bee, but also of the histories of those Indians who, braving conditions of extreme adversity, nurtured new forms of music, literature, religious worship, and even conviviality. It is a remarkable fact that, from within the depths of Ramacaritmanas country in Fiji, we have had the first novel ever written in Bhojpuri. Our Indian diaspora, complex and variegated, needs a hefty Purana.

*The Difficult Return to the Womb: The Travails of the Non-Resident Indian in the Motherland
Posted on December 10, 2009 by Vinay Lal
A number of my friends, acquaintances, and students have emailed me an article that appeared in the New York Times business pages on November 28, entitled 'Some Indians Find It Tough to Go Home Again'. The article, which chronicles the difficulties that some well-intentioned Indians have encountered in their efforts to relocate to India, has evidently created something of a buzz. No one even a decade ago would have expected that Indian Americans, in significant numbers, would choose to return to India. The call of the 'motherland' may have always been there in the abstract, but even among those who thought of their stay in the US as a brief sojourn in their lives, and who seemed determined to render service to the motherland, the return to India was always deferred. Inertia and laziness have a way of taking over one's life; but, for many others, the moment when the gains of a professional career, built painstakingly through dint of hard work and a relentless commitment to 'achievement', could be abandoned seemed not yet to have arrived.
There was a time when 'brain drain' could mean only one thing. Indians educated at the expense of the Indian state flocked to the US, and by the late 1980s there were enough graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology settled in the US that one could speak of the American IIT fraternity. Ten years after 'the economic reforms', the benign phrase used to characterize the jettisoning of the planned economy and all pretensions to some measure of social equality, first commenced in the early 1990s, there was some mention of the trickle of Indians who had finally elected to test the waters of the 'new India'. No one is characterizing that trickle as a stream, much less a raging river, but increasingly in India one hears these days not only of those who left for the US but of those who have abandoned the predictable comforts of American life for the uncertainties of life in India. And, now, to come to the subject of the New York Times' article, some of the returnees to India are making their way back to the US. The motherland, apparently, has not done enough to woo the discerning or ethical-minded Non-Resident Indian.
Shiva Ayyadurai, the New York Times tells us, left India when he was but "seven years" old, and he then took a vow that he would return home to "help his country". Why is it that, upon reading this, I am curiously reminded of contestants in Miss World or Miss Universal pageants, who have all been dying to save the world, whose every waking moment has been filled with the thought of helping the poor beautiful children of this world? My eight-year old has certainly never taken a vow that even remotely seems so noble-minded, but then who am I to judge the ethical precociousness of a seven-year old who, perhaps putting aside his toys, had resolved to "help his country". The young Bhagat Singh, let us recall, was no less a patriot. Almost forty years later, Mr Ayyadurai, now an "entrepreneur and lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology", returned to India, in fulfillment of his vow, at the behest of the Government of India which had devised a program "to lure talented scientists of the so-called desi diaspora back to their homeland". Mr Ayyadurai left with great expectations; he seemed to have lasted in India only a few months. "As Mr Ayyadurai sees it now," writes our correspondent, "his Western business education met India's notoriously inefficient, opaque government, and things went downhill from there." Within months, Mr Ayyadurai and his Indian boss were practically at each other's throats: the job offer was withdrawn, and Mr Ayyadurai once again found himself returning 'home' – this time to the US.
One cannot doubt that the culture of work in the US and India is strikingly different, even if the cult of 'management' has introduced a cult of homogeneity that would have been all but unthinkable a decade ago. The account of the difficulties that Indian Americans encounter upon their attempt to relocate to India sometimes reads like the nineteenth-century British colonial's narrative about the heat and dust of the tropics, the intractability of the 'native', and the grinding poverty – to which today one might add the traffic jams, pollution, electricity breakdowns, water shortages, and a heartless bureaucracy. The "feudal culture" of India, Mr Ayyadurai is quoted as saying, will hold India back. How effortlessly Mr Ayyadurai falls into those oppositions that for two centuries or more have characterized European (and now American) representations of India: feudal vs. modern, habitual vs. innovative, chaotic vs. organized, inefficient vs. efficient, and so on. Nearly every aspect of this narrative has been touted endlessly. The only difficulty is that by the time India catches up with the United States, with the West more broadly, the US will have moved on to a different plane.
In all this discussion about home, the mother country, and the diaspora, almost nothing is allowed to disturb the received understanding of what, for example, constitutes corruption, pollution, or inefficiency. There is no dispute in these circles of enlightened beings that Laloo Yadav is corrupt, but the scandalous conduct of most of the millionaires who inhabit the corridors of power in Washington passes, if at all it is noticed, for 'indiscretions' committed by a few 'misguided' politicians. I wonder, moreover, if Laloo's corrupt politics kept the state of Bihar free of communal killings – a huge contrast from the 'clean' and 'developed' state of Gujarat, where a state-sponsored pogrom in 2002 left over 2,000 Muslims dead. Gujarat is the favorite state of the NRIs and foreign investors, though the sheer dubiousness of that distinction has done nothing to humble either party. Or take this example: the US has done much (if not enough) to tackle pollution at home, but its shipment of hazardous wastes to developing countries is evidently a minor detail. And one could go in this vein, ad infinitum, but to little effect. The more substantive consideration, perhaps, is that there is little recognition on the part of many NRIs that there is a sensibility which still resists the idea that the conception of a home is merely synonymous with material gains, bodily comforts, or a notion of well being that is defined as an algorithm of numbers. William Blake, when asked where he lived, answered with a simple phrase: 'in the imagination'.
On the subject of home, let me allow the 12th century monk of Saxony, Hugo of St. Victor, the final words: "It is, therefore, a source of great virtue for the practiced mind to learn, bit by bit, first to change about invisible and transitory things, so that afterwards it may be able to leave them behind altogether. The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is as a foreign land. The tender soul has fixed his love on one spot in the world; the strong man has extended his love to all places; the perfect man has extinguished his."

Q: Problems with Queries on Date in RavenDB When trying to compare a date property in my MapReduce result in one in my application I get a strange behaviour.
var queryDate = DateTime.Now.Date;
IQueryable<VisitsByMediaSourceAndVersion.MapReduceResult> queryable =
    _documentSession
    .Query<MyIndex.MapReduceResult>(MyIndex.INDEX_NAME)
    .Where(mapReduceResult => mapReduceResult.Date == queryDate);
var count = queryable.Count(),

When queryable.Count() is called an exception is thrown. Looking at the url from the exception it seems like "Date: 2012-08-22T00:00:00.0000000" is generated as the query parameter, and then the RavenDB-client interprets "22T00:" as a new field name in the index.

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code
   Message=Url: "/indexes/VisitsByMediaSourceAndVersion?query=Date%253A2012-08->22T00%253A00%253A00.0000000&start=0&pageSize=0&aggregation=None"

Why is this? Is there a work around? Am I the only one with this problem?
I can't recreated this problem in the EmbeddableDocumentStore version of RavenDB, does that make sense? If I remove the date query it returns result, so the index in itself works.
Using RavenDB Client 1.2.0.0 and Server 960.
Grateful for all help!

Writing on a day in February when the temperature looks set to reach 18 degrees Centigrade and the sky is a bowl of blue unflicked with a single blob of white, winter seems a long way away. In Jasper Fforde's new book, Early Riser, winter is a brute: a season of such ferocity that humans have evolved the capacity to hibernate to escape its rigours. It's a fascinating idea, but one that is also the key weakness of the book. Early Riser has all Fforde's usual comic genius, spinning word play and world play out of this central conceit, but ultimately the book fails because it's impossible to construct a world sufficiently similar to our own that Fforde can poke fun at contemporary foibles while still having almost everybody asleep for three months during the arctic winter in Wales. It just doesn't work. The world, trembling on the brink of toppling into Snowball Earth, with humans that hibernate, would be something completely different, not the hybrid that Fforde creates here. That aside, the story is funny, tense and quite affecting. But where Fforde's Thursday Next novels and Nursery Crime novels convincingly create worlds that are different yet closely related to our own, this one doesn't.
And my goodness me, fun he has – as do we, the readers. This is quite, quite wonderful – reaching a crescendo of comic invention allied to an excellent crime fiction plot: it's no use going all metafiction if you ignore the basics (Stephen King, I'm looking at you and the end of the Dark Tower series).
Jack Spratt, Mary Mary, Ashley the Alien are all back and facing the psychopathic Gingerbreadman ('Is he a biscuit or a cake?' On this question rides all). It's wonderful seeing an author at the height of his powers really letting rip – my only question is when is the third volume going to come out?
Quite wonderful. I've been reading Jasper Fforde since the first of his Thursday Next novels came out and find him, along with Philip Reeve, the most consistently enjoyable and inventive writer working today, but I think he outdoes himself with the Nursery Crime books. If there's any criticism I have of the Thursday Next books it is that I find Thursday herself a slightly bland heroine, but the characterisation of Jack Spratt works really well here and, if anything, improves in the next book in the series.
So, if you haven't already, visit Reading and spend some time with nursery rhymes.
The Fforde Invention Meter, having crept towards the red line in the first two books in the series, goes into the red, inspiration, zone. As ever, the joy is in the details, from reality grades I to IV, to the wild beasts of Wales, rather than the characterisation (Jennifer Strange is about as close to perfection as anyone outside the hero of a Dean Koontz novel can come). It's just as well, really, that characterisation isn't Fforde's strong point, as this means I didn't get too upset when some characters met unexpectedly terminal ends (the sort of ends which suggests they really really really won't be coming back in the fourth and final book).
What is the song of an imaginary creature? Admittedly, the creature in question is a (metaphorical) mixture of velociraptor, knife block (with the knives all sticking blade up) and labrador, so not the most obvious candidate for song, but the question stands. Well, it turns out, rather than the sparking clash of metal, or the grind of tooth on bone, the song of the Quarkbeast is enchanting: yearning, lonely, and ever reaching towards a barely glimpsed and often receding, yet certainly there, consummation. Unfortunately, in a curious nod towards MAD (mutually assured destruction/desire) the Quarkbeast sings only when its twin approaches, and union with said anti-twin will bring absolute destruction, as when an electron and positron meet.
This is unfortunate for the Quarkbeast. It's also unfortunate for anyone else within a mile or two. But it's good for the reader. Jasper Fforde's invention drive, which was revving nicely in the first volume of the series without getting much second gear, begins to pick up speed in this second book of The Chronicles of Kazam. And, after all, this is what we read Fforde for: invention, imagination, wordplay and dreadful puns (not so much character development). As with Thursday Next, where the Fforde invention drive (or FID for short) took until the second or third volume in the series to really kick into overdrive, so with The Chronicles of Kazam: after a few jerks and shudders in the first book, the story is really beginning to rev up nicely here and I anticipate the third and fourth will explode into the inventosphere. Three and a half stars for this one and anticipating four for the next.
In honour of the wonderful Jasper Fforde, and in particular his Thursday Next novels where the eponymous heroine enters Bookworld to save it from various menaces and perils, I've renamed the previously rather boring 'book review' section of my blog, 'Adventures in Bookland'. And, in truth, that's a far better title, for after all, when we read a book we do go on an adventure. If it's a non-fiction book, then there will be intellectual adventure to go, hopefully, with narrative excitement and verbal fizz; if it's a story, then, hopefully, there will be dragons!
And, yes, you've guessed it (the title does rather give it away), Jasper Fforde does give us dragons, or rather one (with a couple of slither ons at the end). He also gives us a version of Britain, the Ununited Kingdom, split into a myriad little principalities, rather as if GK Chesterton had sat down (on a sturdy, reinforced chair!) and divided the country up on Distributist lines. I particularly enjoyed the Troll Wall, in the far North, built to keep out what it says in its name – no doubt many Westminster politicians, looking with dismay at what is happening north of the border in this 2015 election year, would feel the same.
But now, enjoyable though The Last Dragonslayer is, can I ask a question. When was the last time we had, in books, a proper, fire breathing, maiden eating, gold hoarding, evil serpent? I know there's been Smaug in the recent Hobbit films, but they hark back to Tolkien (to a greater or lesser extent!). But, since Smaug, have there been any properly evil worms? Thinking back over the last, er, rather too long, but let's say forty years or so, I can remember Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, the Luckdragon of The Neverending Story, Gordon Dickson's Dragon Knight stories, the aerial division of the armies in a modified Napoleonic war in the Temeraire series, and the dragons in George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (which I've not read or watched, but have been unable to avoid). At worst, these dragons can be called dangerous, but most are positively cuddly (or, at least, as cuddly as fire-breathing beasts with scales can reasonably be expected to be).
Now, I understand that authors might want to play with the stereotype, to break it down and try it from a new angle, but really, don't you think we have a whole new stereotype here? Now, dragons are always, always, misunderstood creatures, cruelly picked on by a humanity fearful of 'the other'. Indeed, it's become such a stereotype that the reward of the unexpected awaits the first writer to make the dragon back into what it was, traditionally: cold, calculating and thoroughly, completely evil.
There, I've given you the idea, free and gratis. Now get out there and write it. I, for one, will read it, and, on this day of St George, cheer the dragonslayer!
