Living on the Borderlines Stories
Melissa Michal (Author)
Publisher: Feminist Press
Binding: pb
In Living on the Borderlines, intergenerational memory and trauma slip into everyday life: a teenager struggles to understand her grandmother's silences, a man contemplates what it means to preserve tradition in the wake of the "disappearing Indian" myth, and an older woman challenges her town's prejudice while uniting an unlikely family.
With these stories, debut writer Melissa Michal weaves together an understated and contemplative collection exploring what it means to be Indigenous.
"Living on the Borderlines is a hauntingly beautiful collection of stories of contemporary women and girls who live in the spaces between the reservations and traditional Indigenous territories and rural and urban communities stretching across western New York to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and beyond, to the island of Haida Gwaii off the coast of British Columbia. Despite the family choices, personal losses, intergenerational and historical traumas that separate Melissa Michal's characters across time and space, both they and their stories are woven together by their ancestral bloodlines, spirits and voices that dance and dream, spelunk and sing them from the past, through the present, and into a resurgent future. Michal's debut is a stunning achievement." —Nikki Dragone, visiting assistant professor of Native American studies, Dickinson College

A superb Kekfrankos selection from the Tihany peninsula on the northern side of the Balaton region. Spontaneously fermented with wild yeast and aged in used oak barrels for 10 months.
Fresh, fruity, medium bodied red wine, with cherry and candied red fruit aromas.
Cool elegancy and great complexity define the wine, which is highly enjoyable!
A great match with roast or grilled red meats, venison, duck/goose, roast chicken and turkey, red meat dishes with a rich sauce.
Not such a good partner with fish or spicy food.

In the galleries and slideshows below are the original sets of photos (on film!) I took in and around Banda Aceh in the days immediately following the great 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. I arrived in Medan, North Sumatra on the evening of January 3, 2005 and entered the disaster zone on January 4th. As such I was the first foreign scientific investigator to arrive in Banda Aceh and document the incredible destruction caused by the tsunami. My friend and fellow tsunami scientist Dr. Gegar Prasetya, at the time working for the Indonesian Government, was the first scientist on the ground in Banda Aceh. He arrived a day or two after the tsunami, but his trip was limited to the rapid assessment of the overall tsunami effects for the purposes of advising the Indonesian government. My trip was facilitated by a television film crew producing a documentary for National Geographic. It was amazing to me that when we got to Banda Aceh, the place was swarming with media. While the science community was still getting mobilized, TV news has already been there and done that.

Although I was there with a TV crew (led by Jeff Swimmer who is now a faculty member at Chapman University), my primary goal was to collect as much data as possible. I found that task to be much more daunting than I had expected. By the time the 2004 event occurred, I'd already had 10 years experience in tsunami data collection and post-event reconnaissance. This included surveys of the devastating Papua New Guinea tsunami of 1998 and the disaster areas of Camaná, Peru following the earthquake of June 23, 2001. However, none of that prepared me for what I encountered in Banda Aceh and the northwest coast of Sumatra. The fact that I was working alone and with equipment that was just not up to the task severely limited what I was able to accomplish. Nevertheless, I was able to record a wide array of tsunami effects including flow depths, flow directions and maximum water levels over a relatively large area around Banda Aceh. From this data I was able to guide and assist several other researchers who visited the area in the subsequent weeks and months. I was also able to publish several research papers based on these surveys.
In the years since the 2004 tsunami I have continued to work extensively in tsunami research and consulting. This has included several post-tsunami field surveys, various research projects and tsunami hazard assessments for government and industry. I also recently returned to Banda Aceh in March 2013 as part of another National Geographic documentary looking at how the city had changed in the nearly 10 years since the tsunami.
If you haven't seen them yet, have a look at my 'Then and Now' comparison photos showing how Banda Aceh has recovered since the tsunami.

GBMC "To Your Health" and "Greater Living" Discuss Ending Child Abuse
GBMC HealthCare
Greater Living - GBMC HealthCarehttps:/www.gbmc.org/greater-living
https://www.gbmc.org/images/logos/greater-living-logo.png
What resources does GBMC provide for survivors of sexual assault and child abuse?
This 90-minute series focuses on the wide range of services and support that GBMC provides for survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, domestic abuse, and child sexual abuse, tackling topics many people find difficult to talk about in an open, honest dialogue with experts in the field. It also includes information about a new class, developed by the Beau Biden Foundation, for parents and caregivers that shares important information on how to prevent, recognize, and report child sexual abuse.
Laura Clary, RN, clinical program manager of GBMC's Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) Program, talked about the services the program provides 24/7/365 for survivors of rape, sexual assault, child abuse, trafficking, and intimate partner violence. "We are here to care for the health and wellbeing of survivors," she explained. "Every survivor reacts differently. There is no right or wrong way to handle trauma for survivors. People disclose in their own time, in their own way. If a friend or family member tells you they've been assaulted or abused, the first thing you should say is that you believe them and you're there to support them."
Dr. Michelle Chodow, GBMC Pediatrics, shared her advice on what parents and caregivers can do to help prevent child sexual abuse. "Start by teaching your children the correct anatomically names for all their body parts," she recommended. "It's the first step to empowering them and starting a lifelong open, honest, non-judgmental dialogue. They can say no to being touched by anybody, even a hug from grandma. The message is they are in control over their bodies." She noted that children between the ages of 6 and 13 are the most vulnerable to predators and that sexual abuse is more common than many people realize—1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys will be sexually abused before they reach adulthood. She also acknowledged that talking about sex and sexual abuse is outside many parent's comfort zone, but by letting your kids know that this is a tough topic for you, they'll appreciate your honesty and understand that even if they feel uncomfortable talking about it, it's too important a topic not to talk about.
Patty Dailey Lewis, executive direction of the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children, and Lanny Dowell, GBMC's Parent Education and Doula coordinator, discussed a new child sexual abuse prevention program that GBMC will soon be offering to parents and others in the community. The program, Stewards of Children, will teach parents, caregivers, and community members what they can do to help prevent this type of abuse, warning signs to watch for, and why it's so important to report abusers. "Our role as adults is to protect children. It's not their job, it's ours," explained Patty. "This program is designed to provide adults with the knowledge and courage to do that."

I hope you have enjoyed the summer. It goes by so fast. So here we are 3/4 of the way through the year and I am truly hoping for good September and October. Lots of noise this past month about the recent Court of Appeal decision against the Toronto Real Estate Board and the Order to release sold data to the public. I for one, will have all the SOLD data accessible on my site as soon as TREB will release it. They said they would comply with the Order and it will be released by October 22nd. What does this mean to you, the public? It means that the listing price and the SOLD price will now be public domain. There are sites out there that already have it, such as mongohouse, property.ca, etc. but the data they have published was scraped from the TREB database over time and therefore they had it readily accessible to release as soon as the Order came down. TREB feels that they will be pursuing those companies for illegally scraping their data but at the end of the day, the data is being released for all to see.
I am completely happy that the fight is over. The main issue with the release of the data was not to hide it from the public by any means. The main issue was privacy. This simply is a matter of protecting the publics privacy. So now, let's say you sell your home and make $500K, the whole world will see what you made on the sale of that property, whether it is an ex spouse, the Government, a credit card company, a co worker, a mover, a neighbour, an investment broker, etc. I am sure by now you see what I am trying to say. So there are positives with letting the data flow freely but there will also be issues down the road which could be potentially harmful to some who do not want their sale price disclosed for the whole world to see. Or as the Order states, now conditional sales data must also be released. So this means, that for example, you have your house listings for 3 months at 799 and no offers, you finally get one for 740K and because you have bought new, you decide to take it. Closing day comes and there is an issue and the house doesn't close and your home has to go back on the market. NOW that previous 740K will show all over the internet as the SOLD price even though it didn't sell and do you think your next offer is going to be 750??? I can bet it won't be... so it could negatively affect the sale of your home if it doesn't close. So I think TREB was trying to say only after it firms up and closes should the price be released. But regardless they lost and lets move on !!! Let the public see the data and let's have a transparent real estate market.
As for the actual sales in the market, we are seeing a shift. The prices are coming down in small increments. Lots of terminations and relists. The days on market are getting longer. We are going back to the good old days of real estate where the good will prevail and the fly by night agents will leave. This is a thick skinned business where people think you are rolling in the dough. People don't see the long hours, the birthday parties that you have to take phone calls for, the late nights and the nights where you do all kinds of work on a listing or an offer and it doesn't sell. Those hours are unpaid. So when people say you make too much money, they don't see all the other times where agents have worked and given up quality time with their parents, friends and family to service a client and it doesn't work out and they don't get paid. Neither one of my children want to be real estate agents, if it was all glitter and never ending money, don't you think they would? LOL. So believe everything you hear. There are agents out there that work very hard and have huge expenses with association fees, brokerage fees, taxes, gas, automobiles, photographers, website providers, lead generation, postcards, printers, search engine optimization and the list goes on. It is not all the fun and glamour that people think it is when they meet an agent. There are many behind the scene hours that are spent relentlessly trying to find that perfect house for someone or sell that house for someone because you know this is their biggest investment in life and they need as much as they can out of it.
Now on to all media hype. TREB is reporting that sales are up. They are comparing the sales to 2017 and it may look up compared to August 2017 but in 2015 and 2016 the sales were almost double what they are now. So sales are slowing down. I think we will see a better September and October (fingers crossed) but I do think we will see an interest rate hike in October. So if you are thinking of buying this year, lock in your rate with a broker for 90 to 120 days so you have time to shop. I also highly recommend you sell first in this market. Anything under $500K in this Durham seems to be moving fairly quickly but over $500K is a struggle unless it is priced very competitively.
The next year will prove very interesting in real estate. We have tons of listings out there and more coming now that we are past the long weekend and I would say 20% are moving. It is buyers choice. Pickering seems to be hit very hard as well as Markham and Clarington seems to be moving nicely still. I would think that is mainly because Pickering and Markham had nice increases during the craziness last year and now we are seeing a correction. Brooklin is another one that seems to be getting hammered. Lots of beautiful homes and a lot of them are sitting. They saw huge increases over the past 2 to 2.5 years and now they seems to be coming down. These opinions are my own and from what I am seeing looking at deals and listings everyday. Key word - everyday. If you every want stats for your neighbourhood , just send me an email and I would be happy to tell you how many listings there are, how many have sold, how many days on market, how many terminations. Terminations are key ! You may have seen them. The same house comes out two or three times as a new listing because they are terminating it and relisting it lower and chasing the market down. Price matters. Don't just go with someone to sell your home because they are your friend, go with them because they know the market trends and have a solid marketing plan to ensure you are getting the most value and exposure for your home. I believe there is a very strong value in data and too many agents are too busy plastering postcards with their egos on them. They are the BEST in the WORLD, the #1 in the Company, etc. This is not what sellers or buyers wants. They want data, information, logic and trends. That is what gives value. If you can't justify the market and the pricing , what benefit can I serve you with. Sure sometimes my clients lose but they won't walk away ever feeling they overpaid or were not aware of the market or data relevant to that property.
I have a couple new listings coming out, so check my website regularly. It is updated daily and also keep an eye out for those SOLDS. If you have any questions, as always, you know how to reach me. Email, text or call. 416-300-3004. If you know anyone thinking on buying a home or selling one, I am never to busy for your referrals and if you know anyone that you think may benefit from the monthly newsletter or StreetMatch, please don't hesitate to give them email address or forward this email. Have a great fall everyone and happy house hunting !!!
P.S. - I just booked an appointment to show a property in Brooklin, listing in July 2018 for 1,145M and now September down to 899,900. Welcome to the Fall Market.


Should those betting exchanges be banned?
Is there an element of hysteria about the opposition to the establishment of betting exchanges for Aussie punters? I think there is.
For starters, I believe the importance of exchange betting is being over-emphasised. It won't hit TAB betting to any great extent, and bookmakers and even the totes should get into exchange betting themselves and offer the same service as organisations like Betfair.
A ban on betting exchanges would be a stupid move, not that we are short of stupidity in Australian governments these days. But in this instance, emotions should not rule the roost.
On Sky TV, the NSW TAB has used its position to argue strongly against betting exchanges, with the Racing Retro programme, chaired by Graham McNeice, at the forefront of the "ban Betfair" campaign.
Okay, then, what are the various TABS, led by NSW, putting forward as the case for banning exchange betting (and remember that exchanges offer punters the chance to secure value prices).
Let's have a look at some of the material the NSW TAB has been circulating.
TAB Limited has the lowest pari-mutuel commission rate in the world.
It contributes a significant proportion of revenues to racing and government.
It funds some 80 per cent of the total cost of running racing and is a highly regulated business operating to a high integrity standard.
It caters for 50 cent customers via almost 2000 retail outlets and electronic channels such as PhoneTAB and NetTAB.
It has wide-ranging responsible gambling initiatives together with funding problem gambling counselling services.
It is also active in sponsorships including the Children's Cancer Institute, Australian Paralympic team, etc. and is actively involved in community fund raising for items such as the Bushfire Appeal Drought Appeal and RSL, etc.
No betting exchanges are currently licensed in Australia.
Most betting exchanges are licensed in the UK, where private bookmakers have dominated the wagering market and revenue returns to the racing industry have been poor.
Betting exchanges are likely to have short-term benefits for some punters but longer-term detriment to the whole racing and wagering industry.
Jurisdictions such as Hong Kong and Japan have enacted legislation that makes betting exchanges illegal both from the perspective of the resident of the country and also for the foreign operator.
Without doubt, the single most significant issue facing the industry since inception.
Existing offshore betting exchanges are "parasitic" by nature.
Unless positively managed, racing as we know it will be severely damaged due to a massive reduction in revenues and perceived integrity problems.
Individuals can be either a punter or bookmaker. This enables unlicensed persons to lay a particular horse and benefit from it not winning. The ability to trace these types of transactions is low.
Betting exchanges will almost certainly mean the end for existing bookmakers.
As "win" bets are the majority of betting exchange transactions at a very low margin, bookmakers will not be able to compete.
The demise of bookmakers is likely to have a negative effect on racing attendances.
For every $100 million in turnover that transfers from TAB Limited to betting exchanges, the racing industry is $4.75 million worse off.
It is estimated that total revenues from exchanges is between 1 and 2 per cent. On this basis they would be returning only $100,000 (10 per cent of revenue) to the racing industry for every $100 million in turnover versus $4.3 million to the industry by TAB Limited.
If TAB Limited lost significant turnover to betting exchanges it will not be able to service the small customer. This will decimate racing's customer base.
Betfair is the trading name of The Sporting Exchange Ltd, a UK registered company founded in August 1999. Betfair operates its betting exchange website under the UK Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act and holds a bookmaking licence in England and Wales.
Within four years of inception Betfair has grown into one of the largest wagering organisations in the world. The firm currently handles around $A130 million per week in matched bets on racing and sport.
Betfair's current business model involves the targeting of foreign jurisdictions (including Australia) whereby a "locally attractive" offering of racing and sports betting events are made available to wagering customers via the www.betfair.com website. Australian event options currently include major Australian racing events, NRL rugby league and AFL football games.
Customers from around the globe are invited to deposit funds (via credit card, bank transfer and other options) and subsequently make bets on the outcome of racing or sports events with other customers via sophisticated Internet and back end technology. Such transactions are "matched" at agreed odds.
Betfair does not currently hold a gambling licence within Australia. It therefore does not pay any local betting taxes on Australian sourced bets, nor any product fees or contributions to the Australian racing industry. This lack of financial obligation in turn allows the firm to offer betting returns (odds) that are more attractive than locally provided alternatives such as TAB Limited.
Betfair (and similar offshore wagering operators) provide a serious threat to the Australian wagering environment, and its stakeholders such as the Australian racing industry and State/Territory governments. As an unlicensed emerging force in the Australian gambling industry it also provides a number of public policy dilemmas for Australian governments.
Betfair's Australian operations are largely exempt from the Interactive Gambling Act, 2001. It is deemed to be an excluded wagering service under section 8A of the Act.
The footprint of thoroughbred racing spans the Australian continent. A total of 22,000 races are held around Australia each year. These are staged by 428 race clubs, of which thirteen are metropolitan and 415 are in country or provincial areas. Of the 22,000 races conducted each year, 23 per cent take place in cities - 77 per cent take place in the bush or regional areas of Australia.
Australian racing is a major agribusiness which is one of the mainstays of the economic base of regional Australia. Racing currently contributes some $6 billion per annum to GDP, 40 per cent of which is generated in regional areas.
Approximately 100,000 Australians derive their employment from racing. Breeding and racing are labour-intensive activities providing employment in a wide range of jobs as jockeys, trainers, strappers, farriers, stable hands, trackwork riders, stud masters, racecourse curators, barrier attendants, starters, judges and stewards. Much of the employment racing provides consists of jobs in regional Australia.
Racing and breeding provide irreplaceable jobs in regional Australia. Reduced employment opportunities in gaming-related activities are replaceable as employment in other sectors benefits from reduced expenditure on gaming. However, if Australian racing declines, then people employed in racing-related callings, particularly in regional areas, are highly unlikely to find replacement jobs in substitute industries.

Doug Wolcik studied farming in the Sustainable Ag program at UMass with John Gerber. After that he went to Northern California for two seasons and to gain practical experience with the scientific practices that he learned in college. He learned a basic knowledge about farm layout, planting techniques, greenhouse management, cover cropping – but nothing extremely cutting edge. He came back East pretty poor, and with college loans. He had farmed full time for $100/week in CA along with room and board. He then worked for the Department of Conservation and Recreation on the invasive species team searching out the Asian Longhorned Beetle. He saved enough money to be able to take a huge pay cut and get back into farming. He started working with Gaining Ground and is now in his fifth year there. He was the assistant manager under Kayleigh Boyle and was then promoted to co-manager for the 2014 season. They invited him on year round, in part to help with the small sugaring operation. He had been co-managing ever since. This year he is taking on the leadership solo as Kayleigh has moved on.
In the time Doug has been at Gaining Ground they moved from harvesting 27,000 lbs. of food in 2012, then up to 34,000 lbs. in 2013, and have averaged 60,000 lbs. a year since then. They farm on three acres. He has been working with the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA) – using their practices and principles of amending the soil with a holistic and symbiotic approach. That gave them a big increase right away and they have been able to maintain it since. Gaining Ground utilizes 400 raised beds, each 80 feet long and 30 inches wide. Last year they left 200 beds in a permanent raised bed state – and this year they will use tarps, broad forks, and compost, and with proper management and focusing on soil biology they hope to see higher yields. He took Paul and Elizabeth Kaiser's course at the NOFA/Mass Winter Conference and will be trialing their method of planting a crop, removing the crop, and planting another crop the day or two following the previous crop. The Kaisers' day long intensive inspired him to challenge his management practices. Doug is working on increasing his efficiency and intensive management capability in an intentional way. His is a high input and high return system.
Last fall they took the leap to leave those 200 beds for no-till this coming spring, although he has been a little hesitant. They were initially really inspired to move in this direction after building their first hoop house in 2014. They couldn't bring a tractor in there. They brought in the roto-tiller and that was a nightmare with the fumes. They now manage it with an Eliot Coleman design: they shoveled out the pathways to build the beds. They amended according to soil test results. He has seen the results improve so dramatically. Weeds have significantly decreased, almost to none. And it has brought the highest production per square foot they have seen on the farm. The soil has drastically improved compared to the tractor-based field management. From there on out they only used the broad fork in the hoop house. Broad forks are really simple ergonomic tools that any volunteer can use, according to Doug.
At Gaining Ground they take 3,000 volunteers per year; on their mission statement they invite all ages and all abilities. People sign up for blocks of time, with groups of 15 adults or 30 children tops per group, per session. Kayleigh was doing the coordination, scheduling folks several weeks in advance. At the farm they work with volunteers on Tuesday – Saturday schedule. On Monday they make the schedule for the week's work. They plan around the volunteers – be it a corporate group or 6th graders. They mix and match the work appropriately. Their goal is that everybody does meaningful work on the job. There is no busy work. They are able to get a lot of energy out of their volunteers. They all work hard and have a lot of fun. Their four farmers break up into groups of four so that everyone is working with a farmer. People learn as they work. The farmers verbally explain the task, and then give a physical tutorial on how to use a specific tool and their body. One of the farmers is always there to answer questions, advise or direct. Doug feels it has made him a better farmer – causing him to have to think introspectively about each task; the how and why of what he does and how to be able to better at explaining tasks to volunteers.
Doug has been working with David Forster of the BFA. He first attended the co-sponsored BFA – NOFA/Mass Soil and Nutrition Conference at First Churches in Northampton and left completely inspired. He started looking at the soil chemical properties as a whole – in contrast to what he had learned at university. He started to understand that everything is interrelated and started reading books by William Albrecht. He realized right away that this was the direction he wanted to take their soil fertility plan. Dan Kittredge, founder of the BFA, used an analogy of a plant showing signs of calcium deficiency, but according to the soil test, calcium levels were optimal, however boron levels were extremely low thus making it the limiting factor. What we now know is that calcium and boron are working hand in hand, and if one is deficient the plant can exhibit symptoms of calcium deficiency even when it needs the boron. Doug wanted to explore this and was fairly encouraged. He reached out to everyone and anyone at the BFA. He read The Ideal Soil by Michael Astera and felt like it would be easy to make a mistake while analyzing soil tests and wanted some guidance. He came up with a fertility plan after reading too many fertility management books and then finally hired David Forster last year to be their soil consultant to give the support he needed. "He took me to that next level. He made me feel confident and was able to guide me so I could really hone in my focus" related Doug.
This past fall he used a Hi-Cal lime, a Manganese, Boron, Sulfur mix that the BFA makes, and small amounts of zinc and copper, as well as a trace element with compost blend they make which includes Selenium, Cobalt, and Molybdenum. Increasing Sulfur and Manganese levels at this point is very important as these are his biggest limiting factor, along with working to keep increasing levels of Zinc and Copper in better balance with each other and Phosphorous, which is so high because of the amount of chicken manure used for many years by the prior farmers. He is trying to bring down Phosphorous levels to get his soils in better balance and to not contribute to pollutants through runoff in the local environment. He and his crew spread everything down in the fall to let it weather in. And then they do maintenance fertility applications in the spring. Sul-po-mag goes on four times per year for fruiting, long season crops, as well as enough Boron, Sulfur, and Manganese as needed to get through the season.
Immediately when stuff goes to transplant Doug uses Neptune's Harvest, which is high in P, as a soil drench, diluting it and then dunking the roots in the mixture. He wants a nice flush of P to give the plant a good start and to develop good root growth, then slow release N to get good vegetative growth and then finishes with foliar sprays of K, Ca and traces to finish the crop. These steps have produced healthier plants, higher yields, better taste, and a more nutrient dense crop. He uses a product from Organic Approach called Carbogrow – a 3-0-3 product that is a carbon based soil building nitrogen fertilizer, high in carbon and raw leonardite and soluble humates to feed soil microorganisms and mycelia. They also have a 5-2-4 starter fertilizer called Finesse made up of humic acids, raw leonardite, and a blend of "meals" that works as a bio-stimulant. He has seen great results with that, including explosions of masses of fungal activity around the root systems of the plants. He feels that with his intensive plant spacing he can create a canopy that will shade the soil under the plants very quickly, decreasing weed pressure and stimulating fungal activity. He attributes that to the no till system and the humic based fertilizer.
Says Doug: "The plants are capturing free solar energy and they are doing a wonderful job of it. What I am trying to do is get the healthiest plants into the ground that will then put carbon back in the soil and feed the soil. The plant only uses a certain percent of the total energy captured and then puts 40% back into the roots for storage. The roots take what they need and then release it freely into the soil and the mycelia gobble that up and at the same time they are feeding the roots more water, and minerals. The plant is happier and able to take in more sunlight. It's a closed loop and all that fertility and life is being done for us, all we have to do is have living growing plants and keep the soil covered. It's amazing!
This year they are starting some new projects that he learned about from Paul and Elizabeth – polyculture hedge rows – six throughout the farm. He ordered many varieties of plants – fruit trees and N fixing trees – like apples, peaches, plums, pears, honey locusts, hawthorn, crabapples, and lilacs – from East Hill Tree Farm in Plainfield VT. Doug met Nicko Rubin at the BFA. From Nourse he is getting 75 blueberries and 100 raspberries. And from the Herb Farmacy in Salisbury, MA, he ordered 200 perennials. The orchard will be laid out thus: Every 15 feet there will be first an apple tree, then a N fixing tree, then a peach, plum or pear. In between the trees there will be two blueberry plants five feet apart. Any corner, triangle, or available spot will be used. The farm was nicely laid out with 16 foot buffers on all the field edges. Under the apple trees they will plant aromatics like chives, oregano, thyme, sage, and mint, and plant yarrow and echinacea to attract beneficials, and also use dynamic accumulators like comfrey, dandelion, nettles, and bergamot. This year they are adding about 300 new species of perennials to the farm; this will increase diversity and create many habitats for beneficial insects, including bees, butterflies, beetles, and more.
At Gaining Ground the farm donates 100% of their food to 12 different hunger relief organizations within 20 miles of farm. Four different organizations come three days per week to pick up food. On harvest mornings, the farmers, with the help of volunteers, go out and harvest what's ready. They wash, pack, weigh and divide it up according to the size of each pantry and shelter. Pine Street Inn, Rosie's place, Open table, and the Sudbury and Westford food pantries are among the local recipients. In Lowell they work with Project Bread where they donate 30 shares to a Head Start School and when the parents come to pick up their children they can as a family come to "shop" at their free farmers market. A chef, provided by Project Bread, makes simple meals on the fly with the available vegetables and hands out samples and the recipe for the recipients to take home.
At some point I needed to end my one-hour-long interview with Doug, who had been talking a mile a minute the entire time. He ended with this comment: "We started growing increased quality, and yields followed. There's so much more I want to get into including the decrease in insect and disease pressures, and drought resistance last season and so much more that we are learning." Would that all of us farmers and gardeners were on the learning and innovation fast track that seems to be the modus operandi of Doug Wolcik of Gaining Ground Farm in Concord!

Retrospective of the Top Artists of the 2010s
Music News / By Dana Silverman / April 22, 2021
Music has been evolving at a pace we all appreciate. In the last three decades, there have been lots of changes in the way music is made or consumed. The most consistent thing, however, has been the efforts and tenacity of the talents in the music world. The 2010s can be defined as the turning point for music in many regards, and there are artists who made it more interesting.
There are so many incredible artists who made the 2010s what they are, and it will be really difficult to rank these highly talented. Here, we will only reflect on a few artists that broke several grounds with their talents and showmanship.
Undoubtedly one of the biggest talents to emerge from Britain, Adele is a genius that will continue to rock our world for years to come. She might have slowed down a little, but her music will always live with us.
In terms of success, Ed Sheeran is one of the top talents in the world by many miles. He had his break in the United States in 2014, and it took him just three years to become a global superstar.
Queen Riri will have written her name in gold through hard work and great showmanship. She is nothing short of a musical icon.
Drake is considered by many as one of the best things to happen to Canada. He makes good music and sure knows how to put up a show.
Another exceptionally talented individual to conquer the world from Canada, Justin Bieber, started from a very young age to make meaningful impacts. At a point, he was the most popular and richest teenager on the planet.
One of the boldest talents in the United States, Tailor Swifts decided to change her sound during the 2010s. She did so well and joined the league of bestselling artists of the decade.
Katy Perry is the darling of many people for good reasons. She stole hearts in the 2010s.
One of the most soulful male voices of the 2010s, Bruno Mars was and has remained phenomenal.
One of the music groups that started out strong and maintained the momentum throughout the 2010s. The group is still waxing strong.
Probably the biggest surprise in the world music scene. It is such an amazing story, coming from South Korea to take over the world stage.
There are many more wonderful artists who did great in the 2010s. The ones here deserve their spots, and we will stand by our verdict.

Дани́ло Кири́лович Заболо́тний (, Чоботарка Ольгопільського повіту Подільської губернії (нині — Заболотне Крижопільського району Вінницької області) — 15 грудня 1929, Київ, Українська СРР) — український мікробіолог, епідеміолог, Президент ВУАН (1928–1929 роки), засновник Інституту мікробіології та епідеміології в Києві.

Біографія
Народився у селі Чоботарка (нині — Заболотне) Подільської губернії в селянській родині: батько був хліборобом, мати — дочкою сільського писаря.

У 1877 році після смерті батька Данило переїхав до дядька в Ростов-на-Дону, де навчався у Нахічеванській гімназії.

У 1880 році Данило Заболотний переїхав до іншого дядька, В. М. Сауляка, в Одесу, де вступив до Рішельєвської гімназії.

У 1885 році Данило вступив на природниче відділення фізико-математичного факультету Новоросійського університету (нині — Одеський національний університет імені І. І. Мечникова) в Одесі, з якого у 1889 р. був виключений за участь у студентській сходці й заарештований. Згодом був звільнений за станом здоров'я.

Упродовж 1889–1891 років працював на Одеській бактеріологічній станції помічником у директора Якова Бардаха. У цей час був учасником літературного гуртка «Плеяда».

У 1891 році за підтримки кількох професорів Заболотному було дозволено скласти екстерном державні іспити в університеті на ступінь магістра природничих наук. Після цього він вступив на третій курс медичного факультету Київського університету Святого Володимира.

Після завершення навчання виїхав на роботу до Кам'янця-Подільського.

Цього ж року він одружився з Людмилою Владиславівною Радецькою. У весільну подорож молодята відбули до рідної Чоботарки.

У 1894–1895 рр. брав участь у боротьбі з епідемією холери та дифтерії в Подільській губернії.

У 1895–1897 рр. — лікар, керівник відділення інфекційних хвороб Київського окружного військового шпиталю. У 1898 р. на запрошення Іллі Мечникова працював у Пастерівському інституті в Парижі, нагороджений французьким орденом Почесного легіону.

У 1897 році разом із професором Володимиром Високовичем брав участь у дослідженні й ліквідації епідемії чуми в Індії, у 1898 році у Внутрішній Монголії — у ліквідації тяжкої епідемії легеневої чуми.

У 1898–1919 рр. — керівник кафедри медичної бактеріології Петербурзького жіночого медичного інституту, створив першу у Російській імперії самостійну кафедру медичної мікробіології.

У 1919—1923 роках був ректором Одеського медичного інституту.

У 1920 році організував першу у світі кафедру епідеміології в Одеському медичному інституті.

1923 р. — Заболотного було переведено в систему закладів Академії наук СРСР.

З 1926 року Данило Заболотний — дійсний член Академії наук СРСР.

У 1928 р. переїхав у Київ.

У 1928–1929 рр. Данило Кирилович перебував на посаді президент ВУАН (тепер Національна академія наук України), у складі якої заснував Інститут мікробіології та епідеміології (згодом Інститут мікробіології та вірусології імені Д. К. Заболотного НАН України).

Данила Кириловича Заболотного не стало 15 грудня 1929 року. Останніми його словами були:

Поховали Данила Заболотного у рідному селі Чоботарці (нині с. Заболотне) поруч із дружиною Людмилою Радецькою.

Наукова діяльність

Дослідження холери
У 1893 р.— разом із прозектором Іваном Савченком зробив на собі небезпечний дослід: випив живу холерну культуру, після попередньої пробної імунізації впродовж 28 днів, щоб довести ефективність імунізації через рот (цим досвідом покладено було початок методам ентеровакцинації).

Із щоденникового запису:

На основі аналізу накопичених на холерних епідеміях матеріалів Заболотний зробив відкриття у медицині ‒ реальність пероральної імунізації людини проти холери, а також відкрив приховане бактеріоносійство.

Заболотний сформував профілактичну доктрину, яка стала провідною в боротьбі з холерою ‒ це дія на джерело інфекції. Таким чином, Заболотний обґрунтував і експериментально довів можливість пероральної вакцинації людей проти холери (можливість імунізації проти холери при введенні мікроба через рот).

Понад 10 років (1900–1911) вчений боровся з холерою в Шотландії, Португалії, на Поволжі, в Одесі, Маньчжурії.

У 1918 році у Петрограді лютувала епідемія холери: з 1 по 18 червня 1918 року в лікарні міста надійшло 5444 хворих на холеру, з них померло 1611. Захворювали в день до 700 осіб.

Дослідження чуми
На початку 1897 року Заболотний з групою вчених виїхав на три місяці до Індії для вивчення страшної на той час хвороби — чуми. За результатами цієї експедиції були виявлені шляхи проникнення збудника до організму, захисна дія протичумної сироватки, ефективність сіркової терапії залежно від часу введення сироватки після зараження та ін.

Протягом 1897–1899 років Заболотний брав участь в експедиціях з боротьби з чумою в Індії, Внутрішній Монголії, Персії, Аравії, Месопотамії, Китаї.

Проте, треба було довести, що гризуни є джерелом інфекції чуми в природі, що люди заражаються чумою від гризунів. Без прямих доказів всі праці і пошуки залишалися безплідними. Заболотний натхненно продовжував шукати факти і тільки через 12 років докази були одержані.

Ісаєву були добре відомі всі ознаки, і справді, хворі чумою гризуни виходять з нір, не лякаються людей, ходять як п'яні. У людей таке спостереження завжди було грізним передвісником чуми. Ісаєв зловив хворого тарбагана і приніс його Заболотному. Із організму тварини була виділена чиста культура чумних мікробів. Важливий ланцюг доказів був замкнутий. Думка Заболотного блискуче підтвердилась при подальших спостереженнях над степовими гризунами — ховрахами, мишами. Була доведена і роль бліх як переносників збудника чуми від хворих гризунів до людей.

Завдяки Заболотному було встановлено принцип географічного поширення чуми на земній кулі. Вчений довів, що носіями її в природі є дикі гризуни — епідеміологічне обстеження бактеріологічно підтвердженого спалаху чуми дало можливість заперечувати зв'язок чуми в Монголії з цією ж хворобою в інших регіонах. Також учений сформулював оригінальну гіпотезу щодо причин ендемічності хвороби і зв'язку захворювання людей з епізоотіями серед гризунів, яку детально виклав у праці «Ендемічні вогнища чуми на земній кулі і причини її поширення» (1899).

Одного разу, зробивши розтин тарбаганів, у яких Заболотний з Ісаєвим встановив чуму, Данило Кирилович заразився, вколовшись голкою шприца, яким він брав гній із чумного бубона. Знаючи про смертельну небезпеку, Заболотний почав писати прощальні листи своїм рідним і близьким. Але на щастя, завдяки введенню йому протичумної сироватки, Данило Кирилович переніс чуму, спостерігаючи на собі її перебіг як лікар і вчений.

Наукові праці
Опублікував понад 200 праць, присвячених головним чином вивченню трьох інфекційних хвороб — чуми, холери (у співпраці із Іваном Савченком) й сифілісу. Його наукові висновки базувались на багатому фактичному матеріалі, на подвижницькій практичній боротьбі з інфекційними захворюваннями. У 1897 р. брав участь в експедиції з вивчення чуми в Індії, Аравії. В наступні роки керував експедиціями з вивчення спалахів чуми в Монголії, Китаї, на Забайкаллі, в Ірані, Аравії, Месопотамії, в Киргизьких степах, Поволжі, Туркестані, Шотландії, Маньчжурії та ін. Заболотний слідом за Пастером багато зробив у вивченні та трактуванні ролі мікробіологічного чинника, біологічних властивостей збудників різних захворювань у виникненні, розвитку та згасанні епідемій, що і принесло йому світове визнання.

Найважливіші роботи:
 «Про фосфоресценцію живих організмів» («Записки Новороссийского Общества Естествоиспытателей», т. XVII);
 «Дослідження по холері» («Centralblatt für Bact.», т. XV, 1894; «Deutsche Med. Woch.», 1893);
 «Дослідження по чумі» («Архив Патологии Подвысоцкого», т. III; «Annales Pasteur», 1900);

The historic Neelkuthi (indigo factory) is located at Sahebganj 7 kms away from Faridganj upazila. It still today bears the testimony of the oppression of the indigo planters. The plan of this historic village and, roads and highways, canals that drain away water, metalled culverts, old brick-built houses, and the various relics of jail-custody testify that the European and the Dutch merchants developed it as an indigo farm for plantation. Then the European merchants collected some tailors who made loose dresses and dyed them in different colours, and then exported to foreign countries. Since then these foreign tailors had settled here permanently. Later on two Christian Zamindars Wariot and George Charles constructed a good number of roads for the development of this area.


You would think that words such as "leak" and "repair" are easily understood but that wasn't the case for one particular roofer. He agreed to perform roof maintenance and repairs for a community in return for set monthly payments. He would "repair each tile roof leak discovered within 72 hours." The warranty document given by the roofer after the contract was signed excluded leaks caused by natural disasters. Sometime later, after a hurricane had extensively damaged a number of roofs within the community, the roofer made clear that such repair work was not covered under his contract. When he didn't repair the damaged roofs, the community withheld his next monthly payment and the contractor sued.
The trial court struggled with the language in the contract, finding it ambiguous. Did the parties mean occasional leaks caused by normal wear and tear or multiple leaks as might be caused by hurricane damage? And would temporary or permanent repairs be accomplished within the warranted 72 hours? Of course, each side presented a different interpretation. Because the intent of the parties could not be determined from the contract terms alone, the court decided to hear the testimony of the parties and their experts to sort through their competing claims. While the roofer eventually prevailed, he learned a lesson that some additional clarity up front when negotiating and writing his contract would have been well worth the extra effort, saving unnecessary aggravation and heartburn later when the unexpected occurred.

Note these Samco hoses do NOT fit MazdaSpeed version.
Had this installed by Rocky's Miatamotive, next door to Goodwin Racing, at the same time as Rocky installed my new CSF 42MM Radiator, also purchased from Goodwin.
The OEM hoses were not in horrible shape but made sense to upgrade to these Silicone hoses since I was having the higher performance radiator insalled. Got them in blue, they look great and I have every confidence they are going to perform well.
Can't beat the convenience of having the Yoda of Miata to work on my car right next to the Yoda's of Miata Performance parts right next door with parts in stock.


I hope you'll like this party as much as I do!
For the banquet hall entrance, I created two floor balloon decorations using latex and Minnie Mouse double bubble balloons. These balloons can last up to three weeks. They are very beautiful balloons made of plastic. Please notice the jointed Minnie Banner.
Each guest table had a Minnie Mouse double bubble balloon with a small balloon collar. Gorgeous!
For the cake table, I created two balloon columns with a Minnie double bubble topper. Behind the cake table, I created a pink link-o-loon arch. For the front of the cake table, I made a Minnie banner.

Despite last month's 'peace deal,' Libya's two governments remain a long way from demonstrating the kind of cooperation needed to stem recent jihadist advances. As IS attacks continued this week, even coordinating the evacuation of crude from threatened tanks is proving beyond Libya's competing authorities.
Tripoli-based state oil company National Oil Corporation (NOC) has attempted to ship its first cargo from the Ras Lanuf export terminal since force majeure was declared at the facility in December 2014. Following attacks against the Ras Lanuf and Es Sider terminals by Islamic State (IS) in early January (MEES, 8 January), NOC decided to empty the tanks at Ras Lanuf for safety reasons.

Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry) 1:100
AP-2α (C83E10) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total AP-2α protein.
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to human AP-2α.
The sequence-specific transcription factor activator protein 2α (AP-2α) is required for normal growth and morphogenesis during mammalian development (1,2). Decreased or loss of AP-2α expression has been observed in many different types of human cancers including breast cancer (3,4), ovarian cancer (5), melanoma (6) and prostate cancer (7). These findings suggest that AP-2α expression plays a crucial role in tumorigenicity. Studies have also shown that p53 overexpression in human breast carcinoma cells induces the level of AP-2α expression. Furthermore, p53 binds to the cis-element in the AP-2α promoter, suggesting that AP-2α is a target of p53. AP-2α may mediate the effect of p53 to inhibit cell proliferation (8).

At the time of the report, just a few details concerning the incident were available.
An investigation into the accident is underway.
Traffic Collisions in California
California is among the states that record the highest number of traffic collisions every year. Most of the accidents are caused by avoidable human factors, including distracted driving, speeding, traffic violation, drunk driving, following too closely, and more. Other factors such as bad weather and slick roads also cause car accidents but to a lesser degree.
While most of the auto accidents cause property damage and minor injuries only, high-impact collisions almost always result in major injury or fatality.
Collisions resulting in major injuries are life-altering, and proper legal action should be taken to alleviate the effects of such accidents.

Back in 2012, there was a little movie called Get A Job from director Dylan Kidd (Rodger Dodger, P.S.), starring Miles Teller and Anna Kendrick as twentysomething year olds with what they thought was excellent job security, only to realize that their jobs weren't as secure as first thought. Going through the motions of finding a job, the film starts to reveal that it really isn't so much about what the characters are struggling with, but more of a romantic comedy that uses the Great Recession as a subplot.
Then there is the fact that the film feels a little bit outdated, since production was completed way back in 2012, where it has since been sitting on the shelf at CBS Films. Now, we can finally see the film for what it is, in the newly release trailer. Check it out below.
'Freaks Of Nature' Red Band Trailer: Zombies and Vampires and Aliens… Oh, My!
Sony Pictures has released a red band trailer for a new horror comedy from director Robbie Pickering (Natural Selection) titled Freaks of Nature. The movie just sort of appeared out of nowhere and, believe it or not, you'll be able to watch it very soon when it gets released in limited theaters and video on demand services on October 30th.
The movie is set in a town in which vampires, humans, and zombies actually live together…and do so peacefully. That is, until aliens show up one day and ruin everything for everyone. It stars Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Josh Fadem, Denis Leary, Bob Odenkirk, Keegan-Michael Key, Ed Westwick, Vanessa Hudgens, Patton Oswalt, and Ian Roberts.
You can read more about Freaks of Nature and watch the trailer below. Again, this is a red band trailer, so a NSFW warning is in effect.
Talks of a horror movie by director Kevin Smith have been present for a few years now, but financing seemed unlikely for the majority of that time.
Not too long ago, Smith announced that he had finally obtained backing on the film, titled Red State, and that it would be happening soon. Since then, casting has been going on with multiple names added. Today, another actor joined the film, and that actor is John Goodman.
The movie is said to be incredibly dark, being based loosely on Westboro Baptist Church pastor Fred Phelps and his extremist views on pretty much everything, including homosexuality. Not much is known about the plot, but that it will extract a hate-filled religious figure such as Phelps and implant him into a horror movie. If you Google Fred Phelps, you can read all about what he does and what his family and church stand for. You're almost guaranteed to be infuriated. You can also see how much he looks like that creepy dude from Poltergeist II.
