The International Energy Agency (IEA) revised down on Thursday its 2017 forecast for world oil demand growth amid a dimmer outlook on the global economy, somewhat echoing OPEC's "lingering concerns" that refiners in the U.S. and Europe may cut processing rates.
Crude prices went down earlier this month as a global supply overhang pressured the market and demand growth slowed. In July, global oil supply increased by some 800,000 barrels a day, with both OPEC and non-OPEC output growing, the IEA said.
Still, output was 215,000 b/d down from a year ago, with non-OPEC production decline more than offsetting the 840,000 b/d annual increase of OPEC's output. Production of countries outside OPEC is projected to fall by 900,000 b/d in 2016, before resuming to grow by 300,000 b/d in 2017.
Last month, OPEC's output went up by 150,000 b/d to 33.39 million b/d, as Saudi Arabia -- the group's biggest producer -- increased production to all-time highs and Iraq pumped more, with total OPEC output at an eight-year high, the IEA noted.
On Wednesday, it was OPEC's turn to issue its monthly report, in which it upgraded its 2016 projections for world oil demand growth to 1.22 million barrels a day (mb/d), up by 30,000 b/d from its previous estimate, but warned that there were "lingering concerns" that refiners in the U.S. and Europe may cut processing rates, which could decrease the demand for crude.
Commenting on the North American data in the IEA's Oil Market Report, Cornerstone Analytics Morning Energy Update for August 11 flagged huge discrepancies between the IEA figures between Canada's oil stocks and the change in Canadian oil output in the second quarter this year. From April to June 2016, wildfire-related outages led to 68.4 million barrels of production to be forfeited, Cornerstone Analytics said. Yet, the IEA reported that Canada's oil inventories increased by 6.4 million barrels in Q2.
Cornerstone Analytics deems the other regional oil inventory data for the second quarter "appears OK".
This week's monthly and weekly reports on global and regional oil demand growth and inventories have been piling up on top of rumors — resurfaced and revived once again — that OPEC may try to lift off low crude oil prices with some sort of output freeze.
At the time of writing, WTI Crude traded up 3.38 percent at US$43.12 and Brent Crude was rising 3.41 percent to US$45.55.
IEA is unapologetic about their incorrect data. They just revise down the road. Every year they underestimate demand.


Yeah, before the energy crisis, the subprime crisis and the budget deficit. Wait! All those things have nothing to do with illegal immigration. Not only that, but crime FELL to it's lowest levels recently!
Yeah the 1980s and 1970s. Rising unemployment, rising crime, and high amounts of racial tension. GREAT TIMES!!! Hell, my parents even say that the late 1990s and early 2000s (prior to the housing bubble) was a great time for CA. My dad lived here since the 1950s.
Maybe chicagonut is old enough to remember when California was indeed 'paradise'. Many 'old timers' who actually had the honor of growing up there in the 1950's-mid 1970's can vouch for that as well.
I arrived there in 1978 and it was already deteriorating due to overpriced housing and gang problems-----------and, compared to Wash DC, California was still 'paradise'.
You are correct! I was referring to the 50's up to the mid 70's. Mostly prior to 1965 as it was after that our government had the "let them all in" attitude. After the 1986 amnesty that is when the "let them all in" attitude became hordes of illegal aliens.
I remember, before the gold rush of 1849...after 1849, its been on a constant down hill slide.
Yeah the 1950s and 1960s with increased racial tension and housing segregation. There were two Black people and no Hispanic people at my dad's high school in the early 1960s. Oh, what about the zoot suit riots in the 1940s. The Watts riots of the 1960s.
Oddly the same "hordes" helped prop up the economy of south central after the last middle income residents left for the burbs in the 1990s.
California was highly segregated. I'd not call that a paradise.
If California has deteriorated so much since 1848: why do so many damn illegal aliens from Mexico still want to live there yet turn their noses up at Guatemala? Remember the Guats pulled a 'Texas 1836' and booted Mexico out as well prior to 1848.
I certainly hear no hue and cry from Mx wanting Guatemala back: maybe because it is poor and mostly Indian?
Hindsight being 20/20: we (the USA) should have taken all of Mexico in 1848.
Things change-----------and, the odds are growing that we will see a de facto return to Jim Crow pertaining to at least Spanish speaking Latinos courtesy of the insolence of the mostly Hispanic illegal aliens.
We had our social problems during the 50's and 60's including the plight of black citizens in this country but one still had a sense of being at home in one's own country lingually and culturally. There wasn't the overcrowded conditions that we see today in our schools, less crime, less taxes, cleaner air, less traffic, not waiting for hours to see a doctor or to get treated in the emergency room and illegal immigration was only a trickle not a tsunami.
How does that negate anything? So segregation in California was okay because it happened everywhere else?
Actually the odds are LESSENING that we will return to to an apartheid state. This is because of how integrated the newer suburbs are.

At the 2018 World Cup, coach Juan Antonio Pizzi's team lost 5-0 to host Russia in the showpiece first game featuring the two lowest-ranked nations.
Expectations are higher now for the 69th-ranked Saudis — fifth best in the 24-team Asian Cup — who are favored to top a politically charged group that includes Qatar. On Wednesday, Qatar begins its campaign against Lebanon in Al Ain.
Earlier Tuesday, Iraq scored in the 90th minute to win 3-2 against Vietnam, which led twice in the first half.
Defender Ali Adnan, who plays in Italy for Atalanta, sealed the victory with a perfectly placed free kick. The high-quality finish stood out after four goals featuring a variety of ricochets, deflections, and defensive errors.
Saudi Arabia's impressive strikes to overwhelm the North Korean defense began when Hatan Bahbri lashed in an angled shot in the 28th minute. A deft backheel by the leaping Mohammed Al-Fatil doubled the lead in the 37th.
Captain Salem Al Dawsari cleverly created space in the penalty area to shoot and score in the 70th, and Fahad Al Muwallad beat overmatched goalkeeper Ri Myong-guk in the 87th.
It was the first time Saudi Arabia won its opening Asian Cup game since winning the last of its three titles in 1996, when the tournament was also hosted by the UAE.
The Saudis next play Lebanon and won't face Qatar until the final round of group games, on Jan. 17 in Abu Dhabi. Both could already have qualified for the knockout rounds with third-place teams in four of the six groups advancing.
Qatar has been subject to a diplomatic and logistical boycott by regional rivals including Saudi Arabia and the UAE for more than 18 months, putting the tiny emirate's 2022 World Cup hosting under pressure.
The first Qatari in action on UAE soil at this Asian Cup was referee Abdulrahman Al-Jassim, handling the Iraq-Vietnam game in Abu Dhabi.
Iraq, the surprise 2007 champion, twice trailed before half time through an own goal by Ali Faez and a ricochet off Nguyen Cong Phuong's foot from an attempted defensive clearance.
Substitute Humam Tareq leveled in the 60th after a scramble in the Vietnam goalmouth, before Adnan struck a worthy winner.
Iraq is second in Group D behind Asia's top-ranked team Iran, which beat Yemen 5-0 on Monday.

EV Driver Story: Kenneth M from Haiku, Hawaii
On the right: Kenneth M, JuiceBox user, volunteers to help deliver medical supplies and assistance to rural communities in Hawaii.
Enel X JuiceBox Gives Caregiver the Charge He Needs
The Coronavirus-19 pandemic strained medical personnel everywhere, adding longer hours and greater pressures than ever. As the situation worsened in April 2020, the Enel X Team received a call for help from a caregiver in Haiku, a remote part of Maui. As a registered nurse at the Maui Memorial Medical Center, he was working 12-hour night shifts during the pandemic. He drove a 2015 i3 BMW (an electric vehicle) to and from work, for a 40-mile roundtrip. He loved his EV, but with his Level 1 charger, he couldn't get a full charge overnight, and did not have enough power to fuel his trip home from work. He was having to go out of his way to charge at a public charger, making a long day even longer.
In his outreach to the team at Enel X, Kenneth requested a JuiceBox Level 2 electric vehicle charging station to allow him to fulfill his duties as an essential worker and healthcare provider during a time of crisis.
The team at Enel X immediately sent Kenneth a JuiceBox, allowing him to fully charge his vehicle each night. Now, not only does he make the round trip to and from work without hassle, he also volunteers helping homebound patients receive medical assistance. He makes multiple home visits during the day, without having to worry about running out of battery.
Benefits of Driving an EV
Kenneth has been an EV driver for more than two years. Before buying an EV, he and his wife installed photovoltaic panels on their home. They planned to use the solar energy the PV panels produce to charge their EV. That was a smart idea—the cost of electricity in Hawaii is generally higher than on the U.S. mainland due to heavy dependence on imported oil for electricity generation. Charging from solar would be greener and more cost-effective.
Even if they use traditional power sources, EV owners typically save between $800 to $1,300 on fuel in the first year, according to Consumer Reports. EVs also provide good torque, quick response, and reduced emissions. And they're often more digitally connected than conventional vehicles—for example, drivers can control some EV charging stations, like the JuiceBox, using a smartphone app.
Kenneth agrees that EVs provide substantial benefits. "I've saved a lot of money on transportation costs with my EV," he said. "No more gas costs and gas station lines."
The Challenge of Range Anxiety
Still, Kenneth's letter highlights one common fear of EVs—long charging times. Before reaching out to Enel X, Kenneth had a Level 1 charger, which plugs directly into a standard 120-volt. Most electric cars today come standard with a portable level 1, 120- volt charger.
A level 1 EV charger can charge your vehicle at a rate of 4 to 5 miles per hour, a very slow rate that is aptly called "trickle charging." Some EVs with large battery capacity, such as Teslas, can even take as long as three days to fully charge on a level 1 EV charger. As his letter to Enel X explained, Kenneth ultimately couldn't add miles quickly enough to keep his EV full of charge, leading to range anxiety.
The 240-Volt JuiceBox Solution
A 240-volt, Level 2 home EV charging station eliminated Kenneth's range anxiety and enabled him to travel where he needed, when he needed without worry. A Level 2 charging stations will charge most electric vehicles in around 8 hours, making it easy to get a full charge each night. JuiceBox lets Kenneth charge his EV cleaner than ever too. Kenneth's JuiceBox is powered by his solar panels, making his travel emission-free.
A quick-release mounting bracket and integrated cables make the JuiceBox easy to install and use. With 25 feet of cable, Kenneth was able to place the charger in the most accessible location for him. Level 2 charging at 240 volts means he doesn't have to wait for the EV battery to reach full. His car is full of charge and ready to go each morning.
Taking Full Advantage of an EV
The JuiceBox makes older EVs with low mileage batteries more practical. Unlike many of today's electric vehicles that get around 400 miles of range with each charge, Kenneth's 2015 i3 BMW gets only 90 miles per charge. Being able to keep older batteries charged is essential for people who have older EV models. Second-hand electric cars cost between 43 to 72 percent less than a new EV, making them a great deal. JuiceBox can help EV drivers with older models get the most out of their used EV by enabling them to charge quickly overnight. "With the low cost of older model EVs, they're a great bargain," Kenneth said.
Now that Kenneth has the level 2 JuiceBox home EV charger he requested, he can fully enjoy EV ownership and can focus on serving his community as a healthcare worker —without any of the headache of figuring out where he's going to get his next charge.

Maria Mahon, kitchen gardener in Harewood's Walled Garden gives an insight into this easy to grow and long lasting crop – rhubarb.
It's that time of year when rhubarb is starting to grow and those delicious crimson stems can be seen gradually emerging from the soil, stretching and unfurling their young green leaves as if waking up from a long winter sleep. Allotment holders and vegetable gardeners alike will be looking forward to all the scrumptious culinary ways in which to use this famous Yorkshire delicacy.
During the Victorian era and right through to the end of the 2nd World War, rhubarb became very popular as growers discovered how to achieve an early crop of deep pink, tender stems through a technique known as forcing. Forcing involves tricking the plants into thinking spring has arrived. Planting them in dark heated sheds during the winter months, the plant searches for light and as it does so, the stems become thinner and less fibrous than those grown out in the field.
Growers in Yorkshire led the way when it came to growing rhubarb, and most folk have heard of the Rhubarb Triangle (Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield). However, during the 1950s demand for rhubarb went into decline as more exotic fruits became readily available from overseas.
So, how easy is it to grow rhubarb? Very easy is the answer.
Rhubarb requires very little maintenance other than an application of a general purpose fertiliser around the crowns once the harvesting season is over and an annual dressing with well-rotted compost or manure in January or February.
It needs a sunny spot with well-drained soil and so long as it is kept well watered, will provide delicious stalks ready for harvesting every 6-8 weeks during spring and summer, depending on the variety.
The easiest way to introduce rhubarb is to plant crowns and we were very generously donated some crowns from RV Rogers nursery at Pickering. Whilst November is the ideal time to plant crowns, they can still be planted right up until early spring if the ground isn't frozen.
Rhubarb is a vegetable rather than a fruit and a lot of people mistakenly think that the colour of the stalk indicates its ripeness. In fact, it is quite the contrary, the more time the stalk spends growing before it is picked, the tougher and more fibrous the stalk gets as it photosynthesises, so it is good to pick the stalks regularly.
We've a good crop on display now in the Walled Garden and hope to see some fine samples on the Courtyard Café menu in the next week or so, any perhaps for sale in the Courtyard shop.

Britain had only 3 weeks' worth of food supply left when the Women's Land Army, a voluntary group, was formed in 1915 and it was to be a time that changed the role of women for good. The shift that took place 100 years ago will directly have influenced the fact that there are three full-time female gardeners in the Walled Garden today, and a team of wonderful and willing female garden volunteers.
As part of the Cultivation of Lands Order Act in 1917, which ordered farmers and land owners to plough up pastures and convert them into arable land to grow crops such as wheat, barley and potatoes, women were recruited in paid roles to take the place of men, who were fighting in their millions on the front line. By 1917 over 260,000 women were employed as labourers and farm hands.
Just prior to the war, the Allotments Act was passed, with the aim of helping households on low incomes, living in the towns and cities, to supplement their food supply by growing their own fruit and vegetables. Harewood's Walled Garden might have been a 'model allotment', showcasing to the many city-dwelling women how to make a success of their food growing. Experienced horticulturists in large gardens like Harewood were often on hand to demonstrate and the focus was very much on growing crops that were highly nutritious, calorific and relatively easy to grow.
We've recreated elements of a model allotment in the Walled Garden as part of Seeds of Hope. Legumes (peas and beans) would have been an important part of the garden and remain so today, as they are incredibly versatile, being nutritious, tasty, easy to grow, and able to be eaten in many different forms; from freshly picked from the garden to dried and stored for later use in soups and stews during the winter.
In the right conditions (a wind free, sunny spot with soil rich in organic matter); sowing every two weeks; picking at least twice a week and the careful choice of early, main and late cropping varieties – growers could achieve a constant supply during the months of June to October.
Peas provide an excellent source of vitamin C – known to help increase our resistance to infection and aid the absorption of iron from leafy green vegetables. Beans provide a source of dietary fibre, necessary for keeping the digestive system in good working order.
Here in the Walled Garden we have been growing an interesting selection of some of the heritage varieties, one or two of which have some very unusual names indeed, such as 'Nun's Belly Button' and 'Lazy Housewife'!
We've enjoyed our exploration and discovery of peas and beans. The pea can be dried and preserved, but the bean is more versatile and a far superior crop. We have grown over a dozen heritage varieties of broad beans, French and runner beans this year, all of which we think would have probably been grown in allotments up and down the country during the First World War.
In terms of order, Broad beans would have been the first in the season to grace Britain's dinner tables, with an early crop in June, French beans would follow, harvested as young pods, these are delicious simply topped and tailed and boiled briefly within an hour of being picked.
We have been growing 'Blue Lake White Seeded' a heritage climbing variety of French bean which is early maturing and produces string-less pods. It is a very decorative variety with beautiful white and yellow flowers. We started this off in the greenhouse back in May and planted out in early June once any risk of frost had gone. Another sowing was also done 3-4 weeks later, and we have been picking beans none stop for the last 2-3 months.
Probably Britain's most favourite bean however, is the runner bean and the heritage varieties we have been growing are 'Painted Lady' and 'Scarlett Emperor', both of which are still widely grown today, mainly due to their decorative nature. Also known as 'Yorkshire and Lancashire' and 'Scarlet Runner' due to its red and white bi-colour flowers, it is one of the oldest varieties of vegetable still available.
To show just how valuable and versatile a crop peas and beans are, here are some links to some of our favourite recipes, using them at various stages of maturity.

Walk around the walled garden today and you'll see some wonderful examples of heritage kale growing in our vegetable beds.
Check out the glorious display of contrasting colours and textures, ranging from the slender, dark green blistered leaves of 'Nero di Toscana (1792)', a variety which reaches over 5ft tall and is sometimes referred to as 'Black Kale'; to the voluptuous, mid-green, densely curled leaves of the 'Dwarf Green Curled (1779)' which, as the name suggests, is a shorter variety reaching just 2ft high.
As part of Seeds of Hope, reimagining the Walled Garden 100 years ago, we have brought the kale on early so visitors can see, hear and read about all this super food.
Kale would have been a dominant feature in the Brassica beds of 1918. It has many virtues and fits with the pressing need at that time for reliable, prolific and nutritious crops. It has gained momentum as a super food over the past few years, one reason being that it contains six times more calcium and seven times more vitamin A than an average portion of broccoli.
Gardeners would have found it easy to cultivate, as it tolerates relatively poor soils and doesn't suffer quite so much from all the usual pests and diseases which can ruin a crop of many of the others in the Brassica family. And it is generally a very hardy plant, with many varieties able to withstand a hard winter frost. Indeed, kale contains its own 'anti-freeze', which actually makes the leaves taste much sweeter after a frost; Brussel sprouts share this quality too.
Whilst cultivating this latest version in the Walled Garden, it has become clear that our much-loved green vegetable can be grown practically all-year-round, which would have made it ideal during the wartime. Its cut-and-come-again ability is just another boost to its super power crop and by picking a few leaves from the bottom of each plant, from several plants at a time, it can provide a constant supply of fresh greens for the dinner table for many months. New leaves from the top of the plant just keep growing, leaving a large, thick green stem at the end of its productive life. Depending on the variety and the harvesting, one kale plant can last anything from 3-6 months, making it a wartime staple.
Steamed, fried, softened in butter, there are some wonderfully inventive and tasty kale recipes, some of our favourite links are below. The kale will continue to look good in the garden for the next few months as we continue to cultivate and plant.

As part of the Seeds of Hope exhibition in the Walled Garden we have been growing an interesting selection of heritage fruits and vegetables that we researched and believe may have been grown here during the First World War.
Old seed catalogues and articles published in the 1918 Gardeners' Chronicle, a monthly magazine for Head Gardeners, enabled us to develop planting plans and resources from a few of the specialist seed suppliers still growing these old varieties today, such as Thomas Etty, Garden Organic and Pernnard Plants.
In 1914 Britain imported over 60% of its total food supply. British farmers focused on the production of livestock for meat and dairy, a far more profitable and much less labour-intensive product than arable crops.
As the war progressed, the Government became so concerned that Britain may run out of food, in part due to the sustained bombing campaign, that they decided to take action and in February 1917 introduced rationing for the first time and launched a 'Ploughing Up' campaign. This ordered farmers to convert pastures into arable fields to produce vital crops such as wheat, oats and potatoes.
In November 1917 the Harewood Estate received its order and the 5th Countess of Harewood actively encouraged her own tenant farmers, gardeners and other local farmers to employ women on the land.
Over the next few months, we will share with you just some of the examples of what we believe would have been grown in the Walled Garden to provide food for the Harewood Estate's staff, the soldiers convalescing in the auxiliary hospital in the house as well as for sale in the in the local village shops and markets.
With our Kale looking particularly vibrant in the garden this month, the first blog will highlight its virtues and varieties. Read more about Seeds of Hope.

How To Score An All-Expenses-Paid Trip To Antarctica
Scientists researching previously unexplored deep-sea vents in Antarctica stumbled upon a host of new species, including hairy-chested crabs, ghostly octopus and predatory starfish, in what has since been dubbed a "lost world".
Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) the team from the University of Oxford, University of Southampton, the National Oceanography Centre, and the British Antarctic Survey caught glimpses of an array of new species, never seen before elsewhere.
"It was "almost like a sight from another planet," said expedition leader Alex Rogers, a professor of zoology at Oxford University".
The ROV was exploring the depths of East Scotia Ridge, an area covered with hydrothermal vents where temperatures can reach up to 400°C. Creatures living at these depths don't rely on the sun for energy but rather on the heat produced by the vents.
Numerous discoveries have been made at deep-sea vents in others parts of the world, but never have researchers been able to explore in the harsh conditions of the Southern Ocean. Jon Copley, a professor of earth and ocean science at the University of Southampton, was part of the team who made the discovery and explained,
It's only quite recently that we've been able to be bold enough, really, to head to the poles.
Among the discoveries were new species of yeti crab, seven-armed predatory starfish and ghost-pale octopus,
We were completely blown away by what we found," Copley said. "I've worked at vents in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, but these are the lushest, richest vents, in terms of life, that I've come across.
The host of new species wasn't the only unexpected discovery made on the expedition, as researchers were just as surprised that they did not find any tube-worms, mussels and shrimp usually found at such vents. Instead, they found new species of barnacles and anemones, as well as a large brown spiral-shelled snail roaming the area.
All their findings were published in the Journal of PLoS Biology on Tuesday and researchers will continue to try and unravel the complexities of the Antarctic vents.

As the a junior member of this group, please let me introduce myself.
I am Simon Russell, Farmer, Father, Husband, aspiring public policy wonk, VP of the Hawaii Farmers Union United (HFUU) 501(c)5 (www.hfuuhi.org) and President of the Hawaii Farmers Union Foundation (HFUF) 501(c)3, chair of the Legislative Committee of HFUU, member of several other local, state and national committees, and Governor David Y. Ige's 2015 appointee to Represent Maui County on the Hawaii Board of Agriculture.
The fact that water and land are probably the most fought over commodities in human history has put the farm owner/operator at a disadvantage, as they have very little if any political power. Farmers are usually on the short end of the policy stick, as they are in the fields toiling, and don't normally have time for politics. This was my family upbringing, and is in large part responsible for my high level of motivation to change the State of Hawaii's agricultural support framework from one that is supportive of plantation style agriculture to one in support of family farms that operate using sustainable practices. Maybe it will have to be both, but as we know the plantations are breaking up, and huge swaths of the agriculture district are fallow, and being bought up by foreign interests.
Sustainable agriculture systems depend on water and land being freely available to have systems of food production that are robust and long lasting. Hawaii needs systems of sustainable agriculture in place for long term regional food security. Once upon a time, Hawaii had a land management system called ahupua'a that managed the resources sustainably. That system ended in 1848 with the passing of a new land use régime called the "Great Mahele".
I see CLN as part of the solution to the contentious issues that are preventing lasting and really sustainable food security. It is an honor to be a part of this forum, and I look forward to learning from you all.
If the reader will indulge me for a few more minutes of their time, please let me provide a brief glimpse of the Hawaii Farmers Union's vision to achieve regional and sustainable food security , across our diverse island state.
2) Nutrient cycling centers: We have plans to demonstrate a nutrient cycling center that produces fertilizers made from on island inputs and manufacture them by the ton. This will debut on Maui in 2016. Nutrient cycling is an ancient practice largely unused in modern times with the availability of cheap petrochemical inputs. However, the price of those cheap inputs rarely if ever factors in the cost of externalities associated with the large scale use of them in the prevailing practices now termed "Conventional". These modern practices use mechanized monoculture to achieve economies of scale to drive down the price of food,and in effect drive the small holder family farmer out of business and aggregate resources.
Aside from creating a scarcity of potable fresh water, and arable land, there are some other frightening problems humans have created with unsustainable agricultural practices. There is no sign of change for the better. Instead, dominant and unsustainable practices demand more and more resources and create ever larger plumes of environmental pollution.
Now, we see the chickens coming home to roost in the form of climate change due in large part to huge amounts of carbon and methane emissions from mechanized agriculture and large scale animal production, AKA CAFO's. It is a fact that the CAFOs are feeding a minority of the human population of the planet (the industrialized nations), while producing a vast amount of CO2 and Methane emissions, while simultaneously creating financial incentives for unsustainable farming practices to destroy huge swaths of topsoil and raze forests (accelerating climate change some more) to make way for animal feed and biofuel crops.
This method of production is properly called biological farming, or by it's trade marked name (Cho Global) Korean Natural Farming (KNF). KNF is also excellent at providing fertility for vegetable crop production, and HFUU is actively promoting this method among it's members and their communities.
3) Affordable Farm Land Trusts: This idea comes from HFUU member Dale Bonar, former ED for the Hawaii Islands Land Trust. It allows agriculturalists to build equity in a land lease and pass it on to their heirs, or sell their equity back to the trust when they retire. It is online in concept here: http://affordablefarmsmaui.org/. This is essential if we are to have a community of farmers that treat the land as if it were their own. Short term leases rarely result in best practices being used on them. Maui County is writing legislation in support of clustered housing on agriculturally zoned lands to support this concept, as well as legislation to allow land trusts to provide oversight. Legislation is in draft form, and I can discuss with those interested in supporting this concept.
4) Food Hubs: Regional food aggregators, whether they are community cooperatives, or leased space for processing, refrigeration and distribution. These modern food safety compliant buildings will be essential to support the diversity of small farms across the state. This is a critical pillar for our food security, as so much food falls on the ground and goes to waste, because people cannot afford to drive from a remote area to sell a small amount of harvest. These food aggregators will also remove the liability for food borne illness from the small producer, and comply with the new regulations of the FDA called the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Small holder family farmers will not for the most part be able to afford regulatory compliance. We will be drafting legislation for an appropriation for these structures, starting with a pilot program, in collaboration with friends and allies.
5) Brand Protection: It is essential that we protect brand Hawaii. We need to do what Idaho, Maine and France have done for Idaho Potatoes, Maine Lobster and French Champagne;create a system called Geographic Indications (GI), and it is enshrined in international law. The USA has no such régime, so NGOs like the American Origin Products Association and the National Farmers Union are collaborating to protect producers of American products from illegal counterfeiting of their products. HFUU (and friends) wrote SB 604 to move this forward. It was heavily opposed by the packers, processors and distributors in Hawaii, and will need to be redrafted.
Maybe the CLN can help mediate with opponents of a Hawaii GI régime. Without a regulatory structure in favor of local producers, importing cheap goods and branding them "Hawaiian" is inevitable (ex. coffee, honey, cacao, sugar, poi, vanilla.…you name it), as the profit motive is too great. It is important that the farmers make their fair share of the profits of production. What is happening is that origin product is blended (or not even of origin nature) and labelled "Hawaiian" and sold at a premium. We need to put a lid on this behavior if people are expected to be able to make a living producing food here in Hawaii.
I know a major producer of goat cheese that blends 90% Cosco goat cheese with his "origin" goat cheese, and calls it Hawaiian. The USDA requires 51% quanta to label it grown in the US, so how can Hawaii be different than American standards? The answer is that it cannot, but the state is allowing this 10% quanta to go froward for coffee and other commodities, and there will be litigation eventually.

Statement on Swazi Prime Minister's Comments Threatening Civil Society Activists
By Staff Writer8 Aug 2014Nov 16th, 2017No Comments
Johannesburg: The Southern Africa Litigation Centre (SALC) condemns the statements made by Swazi Prime Minister, Barnabus Sibusiso Dlamini, in which he called on union representatives to "strangle" two civil society activists when they return to Swaziland. Dlamini was addressing Members of Parliament during a debate on his ministry's performance earlier this week.
Sipho Gumedze, a member of Lawyers for Human Rights (Swaziland), and Vincent Ncongwane, secretary general of the Trade Union Congress of Swaziland (TUCOSWA), have been in Washington DC to attend a civil society conference that had been organised to coincide with the US-Africa Summit hosted by President Barack Obama. Dlamini maintained that they had travelled to the United States without informing the government and the trade unions, and that they undermined the engagement the Swazi government sought to have at the summit on the the recent withdrawal of American financial assistance in terms of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA). While the government is calling for reinstatement of Swaziland's AGOA eligibility, human rights organisations are pressing the US government to maintain their position that assistance is conditional on the country improving its human rights record.
"In making these statements the Prime Minister has demonstrated clear contempt for the rights to freedom of expression and of association – both of which are protected by the Swazi Constitution. The government is obliged to protect these rights, so for one of its most senior officials to threaten and incite violence against those exercising these rights is especially concerning", said Nicole Fritz, director of SALC.
SALC calls on the Prime Minister to withdraw these comments, and urges the Swazi authorities to ensure Gumedze and Ncognwane's physical safety on their return to Swaziland, as well as their ability to exercise their constitutionally protected rights to express their opinion freely and to associate with groups of their choosing.
SALC is alarmed at this latest incident of repression and intimidation against human rights defenders in Swaziland. Last month the High Court sentenced human rights lawyer, Thulani Maseko, and magazine editor, Bheki Makhubu to two years imprisonment after the pair wrote articles that were critical of the Swazi judiciary. Nine other activists are currently facing charges of terrorism and sedition after participating in various demonstrations calling for increased human rights protection in Swaziland.

Q: How to compare input from a user php post to a MySQL I am teaching myself php and MySQL, and right now I have a problem with MySQL.
I want to compare the phone number that the user put in with the phone number in MYSQL, and if it is in MYSQL to not register it again.
My code:
<?php

require_once 'connection/connection.php';

// Variables from HTML to php
$worker_Name = $_POST['workerNameFromHtml']; // worker Name
$worker_City = $_POST['workerCityFromHtml']; // workerCity
$worker_career = $_POST['workerCareerFromHtml']; // worker career
$worker_PhoneNumber = $_POST['workerPhonNumberFromHtml']; // worker Phone Number
$worker_SecondPhoneNumber = $_POST['workerSecondPhoneNumberFromHtml']; // worker Second Phone Number
$submt=$_POST['submitFromHtml'];

if($submt){

  $qry = ( "SELECT workrPhoneNumber FROM workersTable WHERE workrPhoneNumber = '$worker_PhoneNumber'") or die(mysql_error());
  $result = $connect->query($qry);
  $num = $result->num_rows;

  if ($num == 1) {
    $here = "INSERT INTO workersTable VALUES('','$worker_Name','$worker_City','$worker_career','$worker_PhoneNumber','$worker_SecondPhoneNumber')";
    $query = $connect->query($here);
    print "Successfully added!";
  }
  else {print "This number has already been entered Thank you for your cooperation!";}}

$connect->close();

So far I have not found a solution to this problem.

A: your biggest problem here is that you are trying to include variables inside of a string.
"SELECT workrPhoneNumber FROM workersTable WHERE workrPhoneNumber = '$worker_PhoneNumber'"

If you want to do it this way, you need to concatenate your variables with your string.
"SELECT workrPhoneNumber FROM workersTable WHERE workrPhoneNumber = '".$worker_PhoneNumber."'"

Keep in mind if you do this you will want to sanitize your variables first to prevent SQL injections.  Also, when you INSERT variables, you will actually want to use a prepared statement like this:
"INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...) VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)"

where the 1st set of values are the names of your columns in the database and the second set are your PHP variables you are putting into it.

Q: TryTake vs GetConsumingEnumerable What is the difference between solution 1 and 2, _taskQ is BlockingCollection and I am trying to implement a Producer-Consumer scenario. The BlockingCollection uses the default ConcurrentQueue for internal storage.
//Solution 1
foreach (Action action in _taskQ.GetConsumingEnumerable())
{
    action(); // Perform task.
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

TryTake blocks when there is no item
//Solution 2
Action t;
while(_taskQ.TryTake(out t))
{
    t();
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

A: bool TryTake(out T) returns false immediately if there are no items.
bool TryTake(out T, TimeSpan) returns false if there are no items within the timeout period.
The enumerable returned by GetConsumingEnumerable() blocks while it has no items, until a producer calls CompleteAdding().
In Solution 1, you wait for the next action and execute it; a suitable pattern!  But the Thread.Sleep() is not really necessary because the iteration will block if there are no items anyway.
In Solution 2, you take and execute actions while there are any, then exit the loop if the consumer gets ahead of the producer.  That's probably not what you want.

10 Safety Inspection Factors of Outdoor Full Color LED Displays - Shenzhen Verypixel Optoelectronics Co., Ltd.
When we are purchasing an outdoor LED display screen, what kind of factors should we take into consideration? VERYPIXEL here to introduce you some basic purchasing knowledge for your references.
1.Selection of LED display external protective structure material. Checking the fire resistance, flame retardant and aging resistance of those materials, whether they are god enough to put into production.
2.Selection of power supply. Choose the rated power switching power supply which can meet the practical using. Avoid the actual load exceeds the rated power switching power supply, thus leading power supply load is too large , resulting in burned or caused a fire.
3.Selection of LED type. Do no blindly make the LED screen achieve to supper highly brightness, which easy to makes device aging thus reducing the span life or aging fire.
4.Power Circuit. Know more about whether the power are distributed balanced in DC supply lines. Learn about whether the output power are balanced when in AC power output lines. These are the reasons of power lines fire.
5.Cabinets wires. Check the cabinet wires are stock to the wiring principle or whether they are meet the safety requirements.
6. LED brightness ratio. Checking the RGB LED color are following the principle of 3:6:1. Many manufacturers use small size of LED chips to decrease the purchasing cost, which will make the whole module needs more current to achieve white balance effect. Enhance Single color LED current will lead to higher local temperature of a module. When the temperature is higher but without making good cooling measures, the modules will show inconsistent brightness phenomenon. After a long time using like this, it is very easy to cause device aging fire.
7.Cables. Checking the wires has passed the standards of <IEC60332>fire retardant requirements and also check whether the core of the cables size have adequate margin in practical using.
8.Potting glue. Checking the materials have passed fire retardant requirements standards of <ULE325549V0>.
9.The key components. The temperature of fever class key components maintained in a reasonable level after a long time operation.
10.Suite. Checking whether all the material have passed the fire retardant requirements standards of <UL94V0>.

The more attractive you are, the more money you make, according to researchers at Cornell University and the University of Texas at Austin. They found that not only do visually unattractive people get hired less often but if they do have a job, they also earn a lower wage. In fact, one study showed that, on the whole, the most attractive Americans make 10 percent more than average-looking individuals. That is why, when a disfiguring accident alters your appearance, the damage is far more than skin deep. You not only face mounting medical bills but also discrimination, loss of income and loss of enjoyment of life. You need a disfigurement attorney to help contain the damage.
A disfigurement such as scarring may be temporary, becoming less noticeable or disappearing altogether as you receive medical treatment and cosmetic surgery, or it can be something that you must deal with for the rest of your life.
A disfiguring injury exacts a toll that overwhelms mere dollars and cents. However, the person at fault for your injury is legally obligated to cover your present and future costs, not only your out-of-pocket expenses but also your pain and suffering, the reduction in your lifelong earning ability and more. Statistically speaking, you will likely receive greater compensation if your disfigurement is plainly visible, such as facial scarring, or if the injury has inhibited your mobility on a permanent basis.
Car accidents are a leading cause of disfiguring injuries. Although in California, both parties involved may share partial blame, most of the time, one person bears the majority of the responsibility. For example, if a distracted driver swerves into your lane, colliding with your vehicle head-on, that driver bears financial liability for your injuries. If the shattered windshield has cut into your face, causing unsightly scars that will need a series of skin grafts, the person at fault must compensate you for those medical procedures.
Severe burns are frequently disfiguring, and they may involve deeper damage to bones and organs as well. Perhaps somebody threw an armload of wood on a burning campfire, spraying you with sparks that flamed up, causing extensive skin damage. Although no harm was intended, the person failed to take reasonable care in adding wood in a way that did not endanger those nearby. Therefore, that individual is liable for all damages related to your injury. If you sustain disfiguring scars from a chemical burn on the job, the person or company responsible for the situation that caused your injury must compensate you. A disfigurement attorney can help you get the funds you are entitled to so that you can get on with your life.
At Rizio Liberty Lipinsky, we serve California with experienced and compassionate legal advocacy for disfiguring injuries. We understand that disfigurement has far-ranging consequences for your future and your economic stability, and we want to help.

This trick works with a lot of brands. Cut a slit in the side of the box so you can pull trash bags out from the center of the roll. It works just like a tube of cleaning wipes, letting you cleanly pull one bag out at a time.
If you're like me, you have several sets of earbuds; you may have one set for regular use, one set for sport, one for the beach, another for HD sound. However many you have, and however you carry them, you've probably spent many hours of your life untangling their cords.
There are all sorts of ingenious devices available to keep them neat, but none come close to the cost, comfort, or cuteness factor of my preferred device.
You can buy baby socks for next to nothing. You get them in all colours and designs. They're comfortable in your pocket, easily spotted when rummaging in your bag, efficient at keeping your chords untangled, and best of all – never fail to raise a smile when you unravel your buds.

Hey guys, here's my 1-minute iPad mini DIY stand. All you need are two gift cards (or old debit/credit cards) and some tape. Adjust the top bend for a bit more height if you like. And if you want even more height, just prop it up against something heavy like a stapler.

SEA Junior Scholar of the Month, December 2021: Hannah Manshel
Written by Early Americanists | December 3, 2021 | What's New/Announcements
I started graduate school thinking I was going to work on affect, queer theory, and contemporary American literature, but in my second year I took an EAL class with Emma Stapely and was converted, so to speak. That class, and Emma's pedagogy, made me realize that in order to understand anything about the politics of the present—be that about affect and queerness, or about race and power—it's essential to look at the past. Looking to the past to understand the present is still at the core of my methodology: I study past forms of legal violence to understand contemporary ones, and past forms of abolition to understand what abolition (broadly defined) can look like in the present and future.
I'm going to have to second Liz Polcha's potentially unpopular answer to this question and say I don't really *enjoy* reading early American texts. It's almost always more of a hate-read where I rage at John Winthrop and John Underhill's absolutely heinous anti-Indigenous sentiments. I do have a soft spot for Mary Rowlandson, though. She's so ridiculous—she cracks me up. Last semester students and I talked about her as a proto-"Karen" which felt apt.
I'm working on my book manuscript, tentatively titled Without the Law, which looks at the way Black and Indigenous people in America—from the 17th century to the present—have turned to spirituality and religion, broadly defined, as a way around constitutively oppressive forms of law and the law's limited conception of freedom, which is so often rooted in property ownership. I look at practices that throw the law—and its justifications for colonialism and slavery—into crisis, and examine how those practices are racialized.
I'm also developing another book project called Bad Faith. This will be a public-facing book about the US legal system, in particular the Supreme Court, exploits the split between the "letter" and the "spirit" of the law to justify the oppression of minoritized groups under false pretenses. It also considers the ways members of those groups can exploit the system's own violent logic to seek some forms of repair.
I've just started exploring the magnificent Mauna Kea Syllabus project, which is an incredible collection of writing, art, and resources that grew out of the movement to protect Mauna Kea. I'm particularly excited to dive into the section on gender, queerness, and Indigeneity written and curated by my colleague Noʻu Revilla.
I'm always excited by the work of people who think and write about the period without necessarily being "in the field." K-Sue Park, for example, does incredible work on histories of property law and finance. I'm inspired by scholars who use early American material to do really inventive theoretical, conceptual work—particularly when that work is around colonialism, slavery, and race. And I'm very eager to get my hands on Xine Yao's new book, as soon as Duke UP will let me add it to my cart.

Q: Oracle SQL: update table conditionally based on values in another table [Previous essay-title for question]
Oracle SQL: update parent table column if all child table rows have specific value in a column. Update RANK of only those students who have 100 marks in all the subjects. If student has less than 100 marks in any subject, his RANK should not be updated.
I have a scenario where I have a parent table and a child table.  The child table has a foreign key to parent table.  I need to update parent table's status column when a column in child table rows have specific values. There are more than one child records for each parent, in some cases none.  Is it possible to achieve this with Oracle SQL, without using PL/SQL. Is that possible, can some one explain how? In some case I have to update parent table row's column based on two columns of child table records.
My exact problem is like : I have two tables STUDENTS, MARKS. MARKS has a FK to STUDENTS named STUDENT_ID.MARKS has number of rows for a STUDENT record, depending on different  subjects (MARKS has a FK to SUBJECTS), and has a column named MARKS_OBTAINED. I have to check that if MARKS_OBTAINED for one student for every subject (i.e. all his records in MARKS) have value 100, then update STUDENT table's column RANK to a value 'Merit'. This query:
update STUDENT
      set RANK = 'Merit'
      where   exists ( select *
                         from MARKS
                        where MARKS.STUDENT_ID = STUDENT.ID
                          and MARKS.MARKS_OBTAINED  = 100)
      and not exists ( select *
                         from MARKS
                        where MARKS.STUDENT_ID = STUDENT.ID
                          and MARKS.MARKS_OBTAINED != 100)

updates all those student who have 100 marks in any subject. It does not exclude records which have non 100 marks. Because it passes rows for a STUDENT in MARKS where one record in MARKS has 100 MARKS_OBTAINED but other records have less than 100 marks, but since STUDENT obtained 100 marks in one subject, its RANK will also get updated. The requirement is that if any STUDENT records has a MARKS record with non 100 value in MARKS_OBTAINED column this STUDENT record should get excluded from the query.

A: Total rewrite
This is a complete rewrite to fit my example to the OQ's revised question.  Unfortunately Manish has not actually run my original solution otherwise they would realise the following assertion is wrong:

Your solution returns all those
  student who have 100 marks in any
  subject. It does not exclude records
  which have non 100 marks.

Here are six students and their marks.
SQL> select * from student

         1          2        100
         2          2         99
         1          4        100

         2          6         99

8 rows selected.

SQL>

Student #1 has two courses with marks of 100.  Student #4 has just the one course but with with a mark of 100.  Student #2 has a mark of 100 in one course but only 99 in the other course they have taken.   None of the other students scored 100 in any course.  Which students will be awarded a 'merit?
SQL> update student s

And lo!  Only those students with 100 marks in all their courses have been updated.  Never underestimate the power of an AND.
So the teaching is: an ounce of testing is worth sixteen tons of supposition.

A: Your question is a little too vague at the moment to really answer fully.  What happens to a parent row if it has no children?  What happens if some of the child rows have specific values but not all of them?  In the two-column case, what combinations of number of children/values are needed (is is the same set of values for each column or unique ones?  Is it an AND relationship or an OR relationship)?  Etc...
Anyway, making the assumption that there needs to be at least one child row with a value in a given domain, this should be fairly straightforward:
update PARENT set STATUS = 'whatever'
 where ID in (
     select parent_id from CHILD
      where value_col in ('your', 'specific', 'values', 'here')
 );

This general pattern expands to the multi-column case easily (just add an extra AND or ORed condition to the inner where clause), and to the negative case too (change where ID in to where ID not in).
If performance of this update is an issue you may want to look at triggers - at the price of slightly slower inserts on the child tables, you can keep your parent table up-to-date on an ongoing basis without having to run this update statement periodically.  This works quite nicely because the logic of inspecting each child row is essentially distributed across each individual insert or update on the child table.  Of course, if those child modifications are performance-critical, or if the child changes many times in between the points where you need to update the parent, then this wouldn't work very well.

A: What about:
UPDATE ParentTable
   SET StatusColumn = 78
 WHERE PK_Column IN
       (SELECT DISTINCT FK_Column
          FROM ChildTable AS C1
         WHERE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ChildTable C2
                 WHERE C1.FK_Column = C2.FK_Column) =
               (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ChildTable C3
                 WHERE C1.FK_Column = C3.FK_Column
                   AND C3.OtherColumn = 23)
       )

I strongly suspect there are neater ways to do it, but...the correlated sub-queries count the number of rows in the child table for a particular parent and the number of rows in the child table for the same parent where some filter condition matches a particular value.  Those FK_Column values are returned to the main UPDATE statement, giving a list of primary key values for which the status should be updated.
This code enforces the stringent condition 'all matching rows in the child table satisfy the specific condition'.  If your condition is simpler, your sub-query can be correspondingly simpler.


Little did I know, that our annual pilgrimage to Paso Robles would be the last. The running out of gas, pizza delivery to our tents, rattle snakes, freezing swimming pool, gigantic breakfast burritos, C-section, A&W, the Curry Inn, Paso Inn, gas station, bowling alley, belt whips and other shenanigans would come to an end. Digging through old photos brought back a bunch of memories as to how amazing that show was. It was only a year after Church was established, but the artsy photography was already beginning to take shape. Enjoy a few old snaps.

Anti-African Crackdown Ruled Illegal
Nathan JeffayOctober 25, 2012Image by getty images

Fear spread across Israel's illegal immigrants from Sudan last summer. As the Forward reported, it has seemed in recent days like the Interior Ministry's deadline was looming and they would soon be imprisoned. In August he announced plans to jail all Sudanese illegals without trial starting on October 15 and was expected to get underway any time now.
But today, it emerged that his threat had received no authorization from the government, and is therefore illegal. Today, in response to advocacy groups representing the illegals with a petition in the Jerusalem District Court, the state revealed that no official decision was taken on the arrest of Sudanese citizens in Israel.
"At this time, the Immigration Authority has yet to receive any order pertaining to the incarceration of Sudanese infiltrators," the State Attorney wrote. "Should such a decision be made in the future it will be stated publically by the authority, 30 days before going into effect."
So what was going on here? Did the Interior Ministry carelessly overlook the need to get authorization for his planned round up? Unlikely. At the Forward we suggested as early as June, even before Yishai's imprisonment promise, that he was bluffing with his tough talk on illegals, making threats that he knew Israel couldn't keep. And it would appear that for the populist value of the statements and/or to deter other illegals from coming to Israel, he made such unfulfillable threats.
One question which remains: Why didn't others in government, some of whom where deeply unhappy about his threats as the Forward reported in June, pull the rug from under him and save Sudanese in Israel several months of panic?

Q: Cordova / Phonegap ignores height value of div in iOS I'm new to Cordova. I set a div to height: 100%; width: 100%
The width is respected perfectly but height is completely ignored in iOS. Even if I try changing it to 50%, 200% etc. Div height works just fine in Android, it takes up 100% of the screen.
Any idea how I can get around this? Thanks!

A: Try setting line-height:100%; along with height:100%;

A: Try to change your css with viewport sizes : height: 100vh; and width:100vw;
vh is the vertical height of your screen and vw is the width.

Q: Why method has to be async task to catch exceptions I've got method which I want to run asynchronously:
public async Task Send(MemoryMapModel memoryMap, SerialPort serialPort, ProgressBar progressBar, Settings settings)
{
    SendFrames(memoryMap, serialPort, progressBar, _token.Token, settings);
}

And I use it like this by Task.Run():
await Task.Run(async () => await _rtuLogic.Send(memoryMap, serialPort, pbProgressBar, settings).ConfigureAwait(false));

Method "Send" throws exceptions which I want to catch, but to do that, it has to be async Task, but there are no awaitable methods and VS wants me not to use async keyword.
Why can't I catch exceptions from Task.Run(() => void) but it do works for Task.Run(async () => async Task), though there are no awaitable methods?
EDIT:
Also when I tried
Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { _rtuLogic.SendAsync(memoryMap, serialPort, pbProgressBar, settings); });

I can't catch and handle exceptions.
If I don't use Task.Run(...) Send doesn't run asynchronously and freezes GUI.

A: Some people may see it as a bit outdated now we have async, but you seem to be throwing async/await in everywhere and hoping it'll solve your problem.1
So I'd suggest ditching this attempt and look at using BackgroundWorker instead. It lets you clearly separate the bits that should happen "elsewhere" from the bits that still need to access the UI and should help avoid blocking it.
Task.Run should generally be avoided unless you have CPU bound work that you want to move off the current thread.
If you do want to go async/await then ideally you find the async variant of SendFrames and use that instead. But if that's not available/written yet then don't try to pretend that it's async.

1A now deleted answer linked to this answer by Stephen Cleary which in turn links off to other articles/posts about async, which I'd suggest you should try to ready all of them and other Stephen Cleary blog posts too (There is no thread should always be a recommended read)
