Controversial Indiana environmental bills inch near passage
April 14, 2021 | Associated Press
Keywords Energy & Environment / Environmental Policy / Government & Economic Development / Legislature / State Government
Conservative lawmaker says leaders drew maps to oust him
Indiana governor undecided on appeal of emergency law ruling
Two Dems eye candidacy for Indy's new state Senate seat, expect more competition
Indiana governor approves GOP's redistricting plan
Lawmakers approved two environmental bills Tuesday that critics say could damage the state's ecosystems by scaling back current policy affecting water, energy and other resources.
A measure seeking to remove protections from Indiana's already diminished wetlands would eliminate a 2003 law that requires the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to issue permits in a state-regulated wetland and end enforcement proceedings against landowners allegedly violating current law.
The proposed rollbacks have sparked bipartisan opposition within the Republican-dominated Legislature and from Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb, prompting lawmakers to scale back the intended repeal last week.
New amendments approved by the House on Monday, however, would still reduce wetland permitting regulations for croplands and ephemeral, or temporary, streams.
The bill was additionally amended to be retroactive as of Jan. 1, meaning building projects in some wetland areas would no longer need permits. Fees currently required to be paid to state—as compensation for any harm those projects might cause to wetlands—would also be eliminated.
Another provision added to the measure would establish a task force to study wetland classifications and recommend strategies to reduce the costs of wetland compliance incurred by builders.
The bill passed the House in a 58-40 vote Tuesday and heads back to the Senate for final approval.
Democratic lawmakers said Tuesday the House version of the bill—while less extreme than the original legislation moved by the Senate—is a step "backwards" and noted that the latest changes to the legislation still rolls back what opponents say are critical protections for wetlands.
Noting that the loss of wetlands could lead to high costs caused by increased flooding, less water purification and lost wildlife habitat, the Hoosier Environmental Council also echoed Democrats' call for the bill to be converted to a wetlands task force in conference committee.
House Majority Leader Matt Lehman, of Berne, maintained that the bill improves current law but "continues to provide protections."
"You can still remediate as you've always remediated, but we've protected what I think is the most vulnerable (wetlands)," he said.
The Indiana House also voted 65-30 Tuesday to advance a separate bill back to the Senate that would create a state-sponsored carbon market, allowing companies looking to offset their carbon footprint to pay for greenhouse gas reduction efforts.
Although the plan has earned broad support, Democrats and environmental advocates pushed back against the bill after it was amended to provide immunity to an Indiana company slated to begin the nation's largest carbon dioxide storage project in 2023.
The provision adopted by House lawmakers prevents Wabash Valley Resources LLC, which operates a hydrogen production facility in Terre Haute, from being sued if carbon emissions it injects underground move to neighboring properties where they are not supposed to go.
Landowners could not bring legal action against the company for perceived risks and would only be able to claim damages if they prove the company caused physical harm to them or their property, according to the amended bill.
Rep. Matt Pierce, a Democrat from Bloomington, said Tuesday the immunity provision gives Wabash Valley Resources "a pass" to infringe on the personal property rights of those who live nearby, arguing that "perceived risks" associated with the pilot project can negatively affect landowners.
"You attempt to go and recover from the party that damaged you through the migration of this (carbon dioxide) injection, and our statute says 'not yet,'" Pierce said. "You've got to keep suffering through until the plume actually makes it to your property and you can point to physical damage, even though you're probably sitting on property now that you can't sell, and you've suffered real financial harm."
If approved by the Senate, the bill will head to the governor's desk.


Home History What Happened Off The Coast Of Kingston To The Prinzessin Victoria Luise?
On a dark night during the winter of 1906, a lone ship sailed ahead, marking the beginning of a promising voyage that would later end in misfortune. Such is the case of most naval tragedies, the most widely referenced of these being the sinking of the Titanic; however, there is one voyage marred by tragedy involving Jamaica is often overlooked: the loss of the Prinzessin Victoria Luise.
In the late 1800s, transatlantic travel by ship was growing increasingly popular, however, these journeys were not usually for pleasure. This began to change with the construction of the Prinzessin Victoria Luise – named in honor of Princess Victoria Luise Adelheid Mathilde Charlotte, the daughter of then German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II – at the turn of the century.
Often regarded as the world's first pleasure cruise ship, the Prinzessin Victoria Luise, according to cruise1st.co, boasted "120 luxuriously appointed cabins, all offering first-class accommodation and exceptional service". Albert Ballin (Managing Director) commissioned the ship as a part of the Hamburg-America Line: a transatlantic steamship line established in Germany in 1847 and began voyaging in 1901.
Unfortunately, in 1906 the ship's career came to an abrupt end off the coast of Kingston, Jamaica.
On December 12, 1906, the Prinzessin Victoria Luise left New York, USA, en route to Kingston, Jamaica, a promising voyage which would later end in disaster. On the night of December 16, 1906, Captain H. Brunswig incorrectly identified the Plumb Point Lighthouse, which was located near the Palisadoes, to be the lighthouse at the western point of Port Royal.
With no one on land to guide the ship, Captain Brunswig entered the harbour without aid, the Prinzessin Victoria Luise then crashed into a large rock on the coast which brought the steam liner's short career to an end. The ship ran aground, dislodging her engines and shattering her frame plates. There were no casualties and all passengers were safely evacuated to land, another vessel from the line was sent to retrieve the passengers. Distraught by the damages done to his ship and the lives he put at risk, Captain Brunswig retired to his quarters where he took his own life.

Three crewmembers of the virtual flight to Mars have 'landed' on their destination planet and two of them today took their first steps on the simulated martian terrain. The highlight of the Mars500 mission lasted for one hour and 12 minutes, starting at 13:00 Moscow time.
This Mars is housed in the Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow, on the next storey up above the cylindrical modules housing the Mars500 crew. Six men have been already been isolated for more than eight months during the first full-duration simulated flight to Mars.
Three of the crew, Russian Alexandr Smoleevskiy, Italian Diego Urbina and Chinese Wang Yue, entered the lander on 8 February and they 'landed' on Mars four days later.
After this first sortie, they will venture twice more onto the surface simulator wearing Russian Orlan spacesuits.
"Europe has for centuries explored Earth, led by people like Columbus and Magellan," said Diego at the beginning of his three-hour 'Marswalk' with Alexandr.
"Today, looking at this red landscape, I can feel how inspiring it will be to look through the eyes of the first human to step foot on Mars.
The next sortie, by Alexandr and Yue, will be on 18 February, followed by the last, again by Alexandr and Diego, on 22 February.
The terrain, about 10 m long and 6 m wide, is covered with reddish sand and is built to resemble the surface at Gusev crater.
Gusev, an old lakebed filled with sediments, is one of the most interesting targets for investigation by robotic explorers and humans. NASA's Spirit rover landed there in 2004 and has shown the crater holds many clues to the planet's wet history.
The three Marswalkers will live in their 6.3 x 6.17 m lander for 16 days, eating the type of food carried on Russia's Soyuz spacecraft and enjoying only limited exercise.
The lander will return to orbit on 23 February and dock with the mothership the following day. The hatch between the modules will be opened on 27 February for them to rejoin Romain Charles, Alexey Sitev and Sukhrob Kamolov, who have continued to 'orbit' Mars.
"The crew is highly motivated and performing very well," said Jennifer Ngo-Anh, ESA's Mars500 manager.
"The science community is very pleased with the quality of the material but, as this is a long experiment, we have to wait for the results until their 'arrival' at Earth.
The most difficult but the most interesting part of this psychological study of long flights is still ahead: the crew is now faced with another monotonous 'interplanetary cruise' without a highlight like the Mars landing to look forward to.
They will start their eight month journey back home on 1 March, after loading the lander with rubbish and discarding it, as will likely happen during the first real Mars flight.

National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) head, Director Guillermo Eleazar ordered the relief of Chief Insp. Alden Panganiban, deputy commander of the Gandara Community Precinct in Binondo.
The victims, PO3 Enrique Valdez, PO1 Ricardo Bautista and PO1 Jose Sinfroso, all assigned at NCRPO Regional Personnel Holding and Accounting Unit (RPHAU), served as auxilliary forces during the Traslacion. They alleged that Panganiban summoned them in a construction site along Escolta at the height of the procession and hit their hands with a piece of wood.
The three policemen said Panganiban was fuming mad after accusing them of failing to control the devotees from pushing and pulling each other at the height of the procession.
Panganiban, however, claimed that he only taught the cops a "lesson", saying they repeatedly refused to follow some of his orders as he was not in-charge of them.
Panganiban also claimed the three cops kept on leaving their posts.
The victims refuted Panganiban's claim and complained that they cannot move their hands due to swelling because of the severe spanking.
Eleazar said the three cops filed charges of conduct unbecoming of an officer, grave abuse of authority, and violation of the Anti-Hazing Law against Panganiban.
The Regional Investigation and Detection Management Division (RIDMD, NCRPO) has been reviewing the charges against Panganiban.
PNP chief, Director General Oscar Albayalde, said they will look into the matter to determine why Panganiban punished the three cops.
However, Albayalde said the three victims can also be held liable for insubordination and non-compliance with a legal directive against them.
Albayalde said the three policemen should have followed Panganiban's orders even if they belonged to another unit.
Meanwhile, MPD head, Senior Supt. Vicente Danao, said Panganiban was relieved pending results of the investigation, clarifying that he can also be reinstated anytime.

Apple Rumors
Your iPhone may soon have more ads
Potentially coming to Maps, Podcasts, and Books
Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge
Apple could eventually bring ads to more of the apps that come pre-installed on your iPhone and other Apple devices, including Maps, Books, and Podcasts. According to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has internally tested search ads in Maps, which could display recommendations when you search for restaurants, stores, or other nearby businesses.
Apple already implements a similar advertising model on the App Store, as developers can pay to have their app promoted on a search page for a particular query, like "puzzle games" or "photo editor." As noted by Gurman, ads on Maps could work in the same way, with businesses paying to appear at the top of search results when users enter certain search terms.
Gurman believes that Apple could introduce ads to its native Podcasts and Books apps as well. This could potentially allow publishers to place ads in areas within each app, or pay to get their content placed higher in search results. Just like Maps, Podcasts and Books are currently ad-free.
And while the App Store already has ads on the Search tab, Gurman expects Apple to expand ads to the Today tab and app download pages, which tracks with previous reports from 9to5Mac, Apple Insider, and MacRumors. According to 9to5Google, ads on the Today tab will show up as larger cards with the word "Ad" placed beneath the app's name, while ads on individual app pages will appear highlighted in blue in the "You Might Also Like" section.
Apple may be looking to expand its advertising business even more
Gurman mentions the potential for advertising on Apple TV Plus, too, and says the company could opt to create a lower-priced ad-supported tier, something both Netflix and Disney Plus plan on doing by the end of this year. Right now, Apple TV Plus offers only a $4.99 / month ad-free subscription plan (although it has started showing ads during its Friday Night Baseball livestreams).
Apple first introduced ads on the App Store in 2016, and also displays apps on its Stocks and News apps. Last September, the company started asking users whether they want to enable the Personalized Ads that appear on these apps, in compliance with its own App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policy that cost social platforms billions of dollars.
ATT gives users the option of disabling the tracking tools advertisers use to display targeted ads. It may have contributed to the overall growth of Apple's advertising sector, as it has left businesses scrambling to reconsider their advertising strategies. According to data that Insider obtained from research firm Omdia, Apple's advertising business grew 238 percent to $3.7 billion in 2021.
Apple's move to open up more ad slots on its App Store — and potentially on Maps, Podcasts, and Books — could signal that Apple's looking to expand its advertising business even more. In May, a report from Insider revealed that Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of services, is reportedly planning to restructure Apple's services business to direct more attention to streaming and advertising. Apple's services arm, which includes advertising and its various subscriptions, saw a 12 percent increase in revenue last quarter.

Governing opera
Governing opera is an even more fluid endeavour than even the most extravagant operatic plot line, but there are real lessons from the recent governance improvements in opera for boards of all kinds.
The UK's leading opera companies are characterised as having strong, effective boards and high standards of governance. This is a sector where, among the most senior companies, good governance has delivered real outcomes.
Huge challenges
The challenges for opera boards are complex. The nature of the art form involves bringing together large numbers of diverse performers: solo artists, chorus singers, dancers, musicians and even gymnasts. These performers are like athletes. They need focused training over many years. Like an athlete, to be stage-ready means a career of training, coaching, professional development and of course performing.
Then there are increasingly complex technical effects from computer-driven, mechanical stage sets through to video projection. And all this may be being done in a historical building, with all the limitations and covenants that entails.
The market in performers and productions is an international one, so Brexit again creates challenges. Funding is affected by the art form being seen as elitist and very London-centric, where our two principal opera houses are based. Then there is a rapidly emerging digital dimension too. Audiences sitting in a theatre in Bexhill-on-Sea can and do watch, in real time, the curtain rise at the Met.
Risk, money, talent, diversity and access are big issues for opera boards to think through.
"Without risk, opera will be in the museum", said Bernard Foccroulle, the director of the Aix-En-Provence Opera Festival as he received the 2018 Leadership Award at the International Opera Awards. Opera isn't like West-End musicals: find something with mass appeal and pump it out year-on-year. Lloyd Webber's wonderful Phantom of the Opera has grossed $6bn since 1986, giving joy to many and pumping resources into the broader arts.
But opera is only truly successful when new thinking is applied and with this comes risks. The boards of arts organisations need to work through a carefully calibrated risk appetite. Salzburg Landestheater got the common mood right depicting the libidinous Count Almaviva as a Harvey Weinstein character in the 2019 production of Figaro, complete with 'Me Too' banners.
Complex funding
Opera is an expensive business. Funders often fail to recognise that there is an important interplay in terms of a country building up musical and theatre skills between different parts of the overall musical sector. The lighting director paid for by a performance of Jenufa at ENO is kept in business to go on and light a community theatre in Cornwall. So when opera funding is cut the broader development of the whole musical sector is affected too. And vice versa.
The entire UK opera sector's revenue was £240m in 2016. Arts Council England funding is, like most areas of the public sector, calibrated against efficiency rather than against risk, and the thinking behind state funding is not integrated. This means that funding objectives are expressed in terms of individual companies rather than a strategy to develop a vibrant overall national live music market, accepting that this means some organisations will run at an ongoing financial loss but they are developing talent that the whole national live music will benefit from. Small, local opera companies come to mind in particular. These support young talent during the early years of their careers.
Good stewardship
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown many arts organisations into financial crisis. The UK's main opera companies have been in the hands of good stewards for some time though. To take one example, the chief executive of Glyndebourne wrote to members this summer to explain that building their reserves over the last 15 years to almost £50m will enable the company to weather the immediate storm, and – crucially – to support the freelancers that depend on the company.
Talent of all kinds in the arts are usually freelancers, and the financial shock to individuals has led many to consider whether they have any future in the arts, or at the least to lose a year of development and growth with no productions, rehearsals or joint practice.
Likewise, ENO honoured commitments to artists in productions halted by the lockdown. However, the pipeline of talent is fragile to such large shocks. In 2016 there were just 664 composers globally with an opera produced in the last five years, just one living composer (Philip Glass) in the list of top 50 composers by production activity. The average composition year of operas performed today is 1864. Literature depends on the JK Rowlings every bit as much as on the Jane Austens to stay relevant and inspire new readers. Live music is no different.
The access challenge
Audiences need development and building too; opera is seen as elitist and current audiences are not from a broad demographic. What is changing this are the leading companies that are insisting on diversity, with strong engagement schemes such as Glyndebourne's under-30s audience development programme or ENO's under-18s come for free. In 2019 10% of ENO's audience came from BAME backgrounds against 13% of the general population. 20% of their principal singers and 13% of the ENO chorus are from BAME backgrounds.
ENO states: "We want to commit to ensuring that everyone feels like ENO is their opera company. This means that we will commit to telling a wider range of stories on stage. We will continue to commit to diverse and inclusive casting on stage. We will ensure that our workforce represents the diverse makeup of the country we live in, at all levels of the organisation. And we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome when they step through the doors of the London Coliseum. ENO is for everyone, and always will be."
One approach by the ENO is to screen auditions so those auditioning for roles are completely anonymised to the casting panel. They perform behind a screen, walk on a carpet, do not talk and do not have their gender, age, sexuality, ethnicity or physical ability status on any application form.
But of course opera isn't just performed on the radio; the physical characterisation by the actors onstage is an important part of the experience. And in performance – just as in organisational leadership, politics, teaching, and any other activity that puts people in an elevated position in front of others – what is reflected on stage is intimately connected to the feelings of self-worth of the audience member, viewer, student or citizen. People need to see themselves reflected in these elevated places.
Organisations would do well to ask themselves what approaches they have tried to address this important inclusivity issue. GGI would love to hear from you.
Boards of the UK's opera companies have addressed the crises of previous decades well. In a delicate and complex international market the country's main opera companies built resilience over the last 15 years that has helped them come through the pandemic as viable, but the damage to their market will need similar effort over the next decade.
Other sectors have much to learn from opera about risk appetite, talent development and being serious about diversity and inclusion.
Our main opera companies have extremely transparent governance arrangements, and their websites include detailed information down to individual policy level that will be interesting to board members from all sectors open to learning from a national success story
GGI's corporate and social responsibility programme currently supports both the ENO and Barefoot Opera, a small professional opera company in Sussex.
GGI also sponsors the Leadership Award in the International Opera Awards. This year's GGI Annual Lecture, part of the Festival of Governance 2020, is chaired by British soprano Nadine Benjamin.
GGI is also part of the Clore Cultural Governance Alliance promoting good governance in our arts sector.

On Mar. 9, 1862, the Civil War naval battle between the USS Monitor (Union) and the CSS Merrimack (Confederacy) took place. Known as the Battle of Hampton Roads, this engagement was history's first duel between ironclad warships.
The Merrimack was built first. Originally a Union ship, the vessel had been decommissioned for extensive repairs and moored in Norfolk, Virginia, when the Civil War began. Union sailors sank the ship as the yard was evacuated in Apr. 1861. Six weeks later, the Confederacy claimed the ship for themselves, raised and rebuilt it as an ironclad. The Union responded with the launch of their new ironclad, the Monitor, on Jan. 30, 1862.
So what happened? In an attempt to break the Union blockade of Norfolk and Richmond, the Confederacy ordered the Merrimack to Hampton Roads, a body of water next to the Chesapeake Bay. With crowds watching along the shore, the Merrimack proved the effectiveness of iron against wood by virtually decimating a Union fleet of wooden boats on Mar. 8, 1862. The Monitor arrived overnight, but when the two ships engaged in a 3-hour battle the next morning, it resulted in a draw. While the ships withdrew, the effects of the battle were clear – no more wooden navies.
Neither ship had a long life. The two ironclads faced off once more, on Apr. 11, 1862, but did not engage, neither being willing to fight on the other's terms. On May 9, 1862, following the Confederate evacuation of Norfolk, the Merrimack was destroyed by its crew. The Monitor—with 16 crewmen—was lost during a gale off North Carolina on Dec. 31, 1862. The wreck of the Monitor was located in 1973, and in 2002 marine salvagers raised the ship's gun turret and other artifacts from the wreckage.
While the success of the two ironclads changed naval warfare, did the Battle of Hampton Roads make a difference in the Civil War? With the advancement of technology, are naval battles antiquated? Take this discussion to our Facebook page.


Theme restaurants have been known to tug at a special place in the customers' hearts. The country capital especially is home to a number of theme based restaurants that see a thriving crowd. Aman Sahani saw the opportunity and launched his very own venture, Dum Maro Dum, a hippie-themed restaurant in the heart of Hudson Lane in Delhi that is thronged by the young crowd. The restaurant is a tribute to the psychedelic era and the hippie culture of the 1960s.
Sahani started his career in the F&B industry with an internship at a 5-star hotel back in the year 2002, continued working with various big brands, and later became a part of their management as well. He has worked as a consultant for restaurants, food courts, catering services and several food festivals including some prominent ones in Delhi NCR.
Having your own restaurant is a dream that many cherish and Sahani's case was no different. He enjoyed eating, cooking, and travelling, and one random day he gave a serious thought to becoming a part of the industry as a restaurateur. Since he was already from the F&B industry, he had a thorough understanding of the business, and these factors propelled him to open his own restaurant. The bonus was, of course, the fact that this industry is a highly glamorous world for the one who can explore it correctly.
Deciding the concept and then developing the brand is essential to the success of a restaurant. That is why Sahani gave ample thought to the concept of Dum Maro Dum. Theme restaurants are already a rage in the country and very popular among the youth who always want to explore something new. The concept and location were carefully chosen to suit the target audience, which in this case, is the student population of Delhi's North Campus.
The challenge was merging the 1960's theme with the 2000's trend in a way that it clicked with the youth of the country, and becoming a trendsetter.
Glamorous as it may seem, it is indeed difficult to survive in the throat cut competition of the restaurant industry. Challenges get further multiplied when you look at expansion plans. Some challenges that come before opening the restaurant are finding a good location, arranging for capital, hiring the right and stable staff and of course, licensing. But opening a restaurant is only half the job done.
The bigger challenges arise post the opening of the restaurant. Managing your restaurant staff is the most critical part of restaurant management as they are the key players for a restaurant's success. Providing quality and consistent service to customers on their every visit is the secret to repeat business. Managing vendors and supervising the raw material quality is also a challenge which cannot be ignored if you want to ensure quality in your food.
Once the customers start coming in, the next critical thing to do is to figure out ways to engage with them so that they keep coming back. Sahani talked about innovative marketing techniques to keep the interest of customers piqued.
He also emphasised the importance of Loyalty Programs. Although a number of restaurants run loyalty programs and offer discounts to customers to retain them, Sahani mentioned that it is essential to have some sort of engagement with the customers instead of just offering them discounts. This would ensure a permanent clientele instead of just first time customers who are looking for discounts.
Dum Maro Dum is extremely popular among the youth, and it only makes sense to look at expansion plans.
"At present, my sole concentration is on the current outlet of Dum Maro Dum and I am planning to open its 2nd outlet in New Delhi / NCR only by the end of this year. Perhaps there will be 2 more outlets by the next year in Mumbai and Pune," Sahani said.


Artifice and Sensation is a series of 4 projected video sequences periodically interrupted by black images while the sound continues.
The theme is that of artifice and sensation as the uniquely human expression of mind, focusing on different perspectives, related to the forms of the city, the notion of transparency and the Western ideology.
The video sequences are made from X-rayed luggage, X-rayed vehicles, vehicle plans, maps from the Las Vegas Strip, views from casino-hotels, from neon signs, etc. Each image transforms slowly but irrepressibly into the next one, shifting from architectural to x-ray scans, to signage or aerial views. The notion of scale is disrupted.
The total duration is 10'30".

Debt Living Debt Free, It's the Way to Live!
Debt living debt free is the goal everyone tries to reach and there are many reasons why this is so. It is not really rocket science for who will not want to promote debt freedom? Being free from owing money will be like living outside the jail, the jail that keeps you working hard to pay for all what you owe.
Debt living debt free will be less stressful too. You know the feeling. You receive the bill and you know there is not enough money in the bank to pay for it. You sweat and can't eat thinking of this problem night and day. During the day, you cannot concentrate on your work and at night you toss and turn till dawn comes.
When you know you can't pay the bill, you go and see or call the lender. You hate to beg but are forced to do so. This is giving the lenders free to control the terms of repayment and you may pay an arm and a leg for it. So now you know that you are under their control. If you need more help, check these miracle loans.
With spending under control thus making bills affordable to pay, it takes less time to process your payment. There is money in the bank to cover all the bills. You do not have to juggle the finances just to meet the obligations. You do not have to make calls to the lenders so bill paying is a breeze.
When there is no unmanageable debt, you can be more charitable. You can give money to your church and share with the expenses needed for its day-to-day operation. When eating at restaurants or getting a haircut, you can give more tips. When someone you love celebrates a birthday you can give away more. So you see debt living debt free will give you the chance to give more.
Members of the family are happier when there is no financial stress. The wife specially will be happier and you know what that means. When the wife is happy, everyone is happy. This alone is enough to make one work at getting debt free.
You can make your money put to work for you when there is no financial stress. You can invest more because you are able to save all the interest and penalties you are paying when you cannot meet your financial obligations. This money that you are able to save can be put to work to earn more money for you. For example, check this out if you want to know what they say is A Simple, Idiot-Proof Cash Generating System!
Paying in advance for anything you want like a vacation will make you feel great. Not only that, you are in a position to negotiate how much the vacation will cost you. It is the same thing for anything your heart desires. You are the boss and can call the shot.
Oh sure, sometimes you have to wait to buy something until you have the cash for it. But you know what? This will only make you a better consumer. Why you ask? Well, while you're waiting for the cash, you will have the time to think if you really need what it is you are buying.
Best of all, when the bill paying time comes along, you do not have to scramble for cash. You do not have to think of where you are going to get the money to meet your obligations. In some cases, people have had to get a second job just to pay for the bills. You do not have to do this because you are subscribed to debt living debt free.
Debt living debt free requires patience and dedication in going through the seven steps: 1. First is to admit the problem exists. 2. Then if the solution is beyond you, get professional help. 3. Get free counseling is the next step. 4. The consultant prepares a monthly budget. 5. The consultant negotiates with your creditors. 6. You can then make monthly payments. 7. Say NO from now on to credit card and loan offerings.

It goes through the array of results and displays each one in an
 tag. Then it goes through the translations. The following snippet displays only the first element of array, I want to include a new list inside my list item (right after the verse key) with all the translations inside more
 tags. Is there any way to do this?
The snippet:
$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
    count = data.total_count;
    took = data.took;
    results = data.results;

    var li = '';
    results = data.results;
    var li = '';
    for (const x of results) {

        li +=
        '
' +
        x.text_madani +
        '
' +
        x.translations[0].text +' - '+ x.translations[0].resource_name+
        '
 ' +
        x.verse_key +
        '

';
    }

    document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = li;

    document.getElementById('Results').innerHTML =
        'Results: ' + count + '';
    document.getElementById('Time').innerHTML =
        'Took: ' + took + ' milliseconds to load ' + count + ' results';
})

here's all the code
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

A: you can create a new ul element and use insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', str) in order to append the text as HTML element.
function printTranslations(translations) {
  var ul = '
';

  for (const text of translations) {
    ul +=
      '
' +
         text.text + ' - ' + text.resource_name +
       '
';
  }

  return ul + '
';
}

function (data) {
  count = data.total_count;
  took = data.took;
  results = data.results;

  var ul = document.createElement('ul');
  results = data.results;
  for (const x of results) {

    ul.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend',
      '
' +
      x.text_madani +
      '
' +
      printTranslations(x.translations) +
      '' +
      x.verse_key +
      '

');
  }

  document.getElementById('demo').appendChild(ul);

  document.getElementById('Results').innerHTML = 'Results: ' + count + '';
  document.getElementById('Time').innerHTML =
    'Took: ' + took + ' milliseconds to load ' + count + ' results';
}

A: You can achieve that by looping through both the results and translations keys, something like this:

$.getJSON(url, function (data) {
  count = data.total_count;
  took = data.took;
  results = data.results;

  var li = '';
  results = data.results;
  for (const x of results) {
      li += '
' + x.text_madani + '
' +
        '' + x.verse_key + '
'
    for (const y of x.translations) {
      li += '
' +
        y.text +' - '+ y.resource_name+
      '
';
    }
    li += '

';
  }

  document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = li;

  document.getElementById('Results').innerHTML =
    'Results: ' + count + '';
  document.getElementById('Time').innerHTML =
    'Took: ' + took + ' milliseconds to load ' + count + ' results';
})

Please keep in mind that this might mess with your HTML if your data is not sanitized or if it's not using some kind of abstraction to generate the HTML.
Creating HTML using a string concatenated from results from a API is not encouraged.

Boys' tennis
Boys' tennis begins season, looks to keep improving
by Devin Perlo
Blake Krantz
by Blake Krantz
Boys' tennis, 3-3, has "come in strong" through the first couple weeks of the season, despite the need for "more determination and development" as a group, according to senior Cameron Schoettle, a captain with seniors Owen Grafe and Jonny Levenfeld.
Early on, the Tigers faced several tough teams such as Brookline and Wellesley, competition which Grafe believes caused the team to "suffer in the standings." The team fell 5-0 to Brookline and 4-1 to Wellesley.
Grafe explained that despite the Tigers' record early on, "the morale of the team has not wavered," and it will be very important for the team to "work on keeping a positive attitude out on the court."
According to Schoettle, the Tigers have "definitely been pushing themselves," showing that they "can be persistent even when losing."
Schoettle said that the team has been coping with injuries and an inconsistent lineup throughout the season, something that coach Phil Goldberg also pointed to as one of the difficulties for the team thus far.
Goldberg said "the team will continue to focus on consistency in serving and returning," as well as "working on finding the best doubles pairings available," which has been made difficult by the early injuries.
Due to the inclimate weather and the slow start to the season, the Tigers have also struggled with the inability to practice outside for the first few weeks of the season. According to Goldberg, the unusual start "has been a challenge for [the Tigers] and everyone else."
As for the positives he has seen so far, Goldberg pointed to players such as Grafe and senior Alex Leighton as key contributors for the team.
Goldberg sees the Tigers as a "solid team" this year, one that has been "competitive with the top teams in the league" in the first few weeks.
Going forward, Schoettle believes that "consistency of shots" should be a focus for the Tigers, as the team tended to "give away too many points" in the first four matches of the season.
Grafe summarized the Tigers' mindset going deeper into the spring, saying that "right now [they] are striving to learn and stay mentally tough," but as "soon as [they] get the confidence and experience [they] need," these attributes are the ones that will create a team that can be "successful in the later stretches of the year."
Among the team members who are benefitting most from the beginning of the season are the "new guys," who Grafe believes will continue to "fill spots nicely" on the team with increased experience.
The Tigers next play Wellesley away today, and host Norwood Monday.

Episode 130 of The Independent Characters continues our return to the Podcast by covering two topics that we find interesting.
First we discuss the process and benefits of doing oil washes. We get Josh on to explain how they are done, why they are done, and what the benefits of doing them are.
Next up is a discussion between Justin and Jody all about the various types of paints avaiable to hobbiests. What the benefits and drawbacks of each type are, and under what circumstances do you want to use one over another! This is typically a hotly debated topic amongst people in our hobby, so while our opinions may or may not line up with yours, we felt it was worth taking the time to discuss.
Of course we have Adan and Justin joining us for the Hobby Progress and Games played segments. So hopefully you enjoy what we have been up to.
We hope you enjoy the show and don't feel like you are listening to paint dry!


In conjunction with the Annual Glass Art Society conference, hosted by the City of St. Petersburg this March, the Chihuly Collection will exhibit a number of the artists presenting at the Morean Glass Studio. This show will explore various approaches to glass as an artistic medium from a survey of artists from around the country. Objects in the show range from blown glass work, cast glass and even lit installation. Artists include Peter Houk and Lisabeth Sterling.


Well, it's really hot here – see the AccuWeather page on the Dangerous Heat Wave. Since June 1st we've had 9 days of 95F or more, including two at 97F and today is forecast to be the hottest yet. Tropical Storm Bill only gave us 0.7″ – I'm looking forward to the trough predicted for next weekend, although I should be careful about what I wish for. It might bring record low temperatures for the time of year, and such whacky yo-yos of conditions are hard on us as well as our crops.
Our garlic is all drying in the barn, with fans and in a few days we expect it to have dried down enough for us to start trimming and sorting. We usually do that in the afternoons, as it's indoors and includes fans.
If you live in a cooler zone, you might be wondering when to harvest your garlic. Margaret Roach has a great article on determining garlic maturity on her blog A Way to Garden. Her harvest time is 7 or 8 weeks after ours. She has a whole set of articles on growing, harvesting and curing garlic. One sign of maturity that I don't think Margaret mentions, that we use with our hardneck garlic is to dig a few sample bulbs, and cut them in half horizontally. If the bulbs are ready, there will be small air spaces open between the remains of the stem and the cloves.
I just posted an article about Intercropping Vegetables in Late Spring and Early Summer, aka Relay Planting on the Mother Earth News Organic Gardening Blog. Depending where you live these ideas might be very timely, or else suggestions to consider in your planning for next year. Interplanting, intercropping, or relay planting, is a version of companion planting where the second crop is planted while the first is still growing. The goal is to get maximum use of the space, double use of any crop protection such as rowcover or shadecloth, (or irrigation) and let one round of hoeing clean up two crops.
We have successfully planted peanuts in the middle of a bed of romaine and small Bibb lettuces transplanted around the same date the peanuts are sown. We have also transplanted okra in the center of a bed with two rows of early spring cabbage. As the plants grow, we remove outer leaves of the cabbage that might overshadow the okra. Soon the okra is tall and the cabbage is being harvested. Two crops in one season, with no tilling needed between the two.
This year we planned to transplant the okra in a spinach bed. The spinach came to an early end, but the okra is doing very well, and we have just started harvesting it, a bit earlier than in other years.
Today, despite the heat, it's the day for sowing lettuce. At this time of year it's often the day for sowing lettuce! Every 5 days. Success with summer lettuce is hard-earned. From May to late September I use an outdoor nursery seedbed and do bare-root transplants of heat-tolerant varieties. The soil temperature does not vary as much as the air temperature, although it does get warm! My hot weather lettuce sowing trick is to wait till the last half-hour before sunset, Sow the lettuce seed in the nursery bed, draw the soil over to cover the seed, and tamp it down, water it with fresh drawn water (cool from the well, not siting around all day in a can). Then I put ice on the lettuce seed rows! Crushed ice is easiest, but these days I just line up ice cubes where the rows are. Then I put a piece of shade-cloth over the planting. I make sure to keep the seedbed damp, using cold water each time.
Of course, transplanting lettuce in hot weather takes care too. I do that late in the day, and water as I go. I cover the transplants with hoops and shade-cloth, and water daily until they are well established. here's the lettuce log I am using this year.
The January issue of Growing for Market magazine is out, along with my article about giving talks. I want to encourage more gardeners and farmers to "grasp the nettle" and offer to give a workshop on a topic you know about. I speak at about 9 or 10 events each year now, but I used to be completely terrified of public speaking. So, if I can do it, I think you can too! It's a way of sharing useful information to help improve the quality and quantity of fresh healthy food in the world. It's a part of a co-operative model of spreading information rather than hording it. It can be a way of "singing for your supper", as conference speakers usually get free registration to the conference and accommodation. Sometimes traveling expenses are covered, sometimes meals, sometimes there's an honorarium. Start small and local and offer a farm tour, perhaps after joining a local group like CRAFT (Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training). At Twin Oaks, we have been part of the Piedmont CRAFT group of central Virginia. Each month in the main season, there is a gathering at one of the involved farms, with a tour and a discussion topic. Todd Niemeier of the Urban Agriculture Collective of Charlottesville was the starting energy for that group too.
The January Growing for Market also contains a helpful article about using hot water seed treatments to reduce seed-borne diseases (by Chris Blanchard). The idea of soaking seeds in hot water for half an hour or even more, and then drying them out to sow later can be daunting. But with this step-by-step guide and encouraging reports from different growers, it all becomes manageable.
Andrew Mefferd has branched out from his detailed series on hoophouse tomato growing, to talk about growing eggplant in hoophouses or greenhouses. Very useful for people in climates colder than ours here. And, of course, there are tips that are helpful to people who thought they had already read everything about growing eggplants!
Kyle and Frances Koehn write about the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), a federally assisted Farm to School Program suited to small-scale growers. FFVP supplies elementary schools with fresh produce as snacks (so you don't have to grow enough to supply a whole lunch every day). For the authors, this has been a great fit with winter leafy greens grown in their NRCS funded high tunnel. Search for the FFVP program in your state. Virginia, for example, covers FFVP in their Farm to School Program Resource Guide.
Lynn Byczynski writes about growing heirloom mums, and Valley Oak Tools advertises the debut of their Electric Cub crop cultivating tractors.

And, here we are with another new year, thinking about the next growing season. I recently read a post in Margaret Roach's A Way to Garden. She has gathered regional garden calendars. I found the one from West Virginia Extension Service particularly helpful and attractively set out. This put my in mind to give the link to our Twin Oaks Garden Calendar for all vegetable growers in the mid Atlantic. Especially as one of my local farmer friends asked me about it recently. And let's not forget that on Saturday 1/17 we are scheduled to start some cabbage, lettuce and mini-onions!
Part of my attention at this time of year goes to Winter-kill temperatures for different crops. We've had a couple of unusually-cold-for-this-early-in-winter nights already. What did I learn?
At 14F, Cylindra beets were OK, as were Tribute and Kaitlin cabbages. The remaining broccoli shoots became rubbery.
At 10F, some of the Tribute and Kaitlin cabbage heads were damaged; Some carrot tops were killed, but the roots were OK; Senposai was damaged, but not killed; the winter radish (daikon, China Rose and Shunkyo Semi-long) were OK; the celery is over; most of the chard leaves were killed, and the medium-sized non-headed oats cover crop took quite a hit. Outredgeous lettuce is not as cold-tolerant as I thought. Olga was damaged, but Salad Bowl, Red Salad Bowl, Pirat, Red Cross, Sylvesta and Winter marvel were fine under hoops and thick rowcover.
Before it got any colder, we harvested the last of the Melissa savoy cabbage and the bed of Deadon cabbage (we could have covered it if we'd really wanted to preserve it for longer, but we were ready for some fresh cabbage – it does make the stored cabbage look rather wan.

Other great articles in this issue include Eight tips for winter success by Ben Hartman. He writes about a gathering of experienced vegetable growers with suppliers, researchers and extension workers in Vermont, to compare practices and increase the amount of locally-grown winter produce. Zones 4 and 5. These growers are not timid! The eight tips include the importance of ventilation, using inner row covers close to the crops inside the hoophouse, removing those inner covers on sunny days (or at least twice a week), hardening off plants in the fall so they'd survive winter temperatures, using supplemental heat wisely if at all, using IRT or black plastic mulch for heading crops, paying attention to soil fertility and salt levels, and planning ahead to combat chickweed! The Frozen Ground Gathering participants have posted many of their Powerpoints.
Susan Studer King writes about a "21st century version of a barn-raising" neighbors helping one another install solar panels – solar co-ops. The GfM editor, Lynn Byczynski, writes about hoophouse upgrades to save energy. Gretel Adams writes about growing stocks in the hoophouse. I love reading her articles even though I don't grow flowers!
Meanwhile, here at Twin Oaks, we had a first very light, very patchy frost on Saturday night, well, probably Sunday morning 10/5. Very little damage, a few of the sweet potato vines hit, and a few of the Roma tomatoes. We scurried to harvest Romas on Saturday, gaining 4 big buckets of red ones and about 13 buckets of green ones. We've now set the green ones out on egg trays to ripen in the basement. Egg trays make great ripening containers for the egg-shaped Roma tomatoes. I mean those grey square pulp trays that hold 30 eggs or tomatoes. They stack well, are lightweight, and free! We didn't finish harvesting tomatoes, and now have a warmer break before any more frosts, so before we harvest the rest, we can turn our attention to digging up the sweet potatoes.
For those living on the East Coast, here's a heads up about a full lunar eclipse early tomorrow morning. 6.25 am, before the sun comes up, just before the moon sets.
Hope to see some of you at Kansas for the Mother Earth News Fair. The schedule has been updated to show my workshops.
And I'll end with a link to A Way to Garden, a lovely blog from Margaret Roach, writing about her interview with Linda Chalker-Scott, who is busting horticultural myths, such as digging a huge hole and filling it with potting soil when transplanting a young tree. Lots of fun to read, and lots of wasted time and effort saved!
