Two men have been charged in connection with a rape in Sittingbourne in the early hours of Sunday (14th July) morning.
Kent Police have confirmed that they were called at just before 3.40am on Sunday to reports of a rape of a 36-year-old local woman in Dover Street.
Maksim Volkon, aged 32 and of Merleburgh Drive and Vitalijs Alehovics, aged 26, of Periwinkle Close, both in Sittingbourne, have been jointly charged with rape.
They appeared before Maidstone Crown Court yesterday and were remanded in custody.
The pair are due to appear before the court again on Friday 2nd August.
Police Appeal After Distraction Burglary In Lynsted
Kent Police have released a computer generated image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a distraction burglary in Sittingbourne.
Detectives are investigating the incident which is believed to have taken place between 3.40pm and 4pm on Wednesday 3rd July, in Cellar Hill, Lynsted.
The resident, an elderly woman, answered a knock on the door to find a man holding a clipboard and claiming to be a police officer, who said he was there to speak to her about a previous incident at her home. It is understood the man flashed a card at her but did not give her chance to inspect it properly. On the grounds of having an update to the incident, the man persuaded the victim to follow him into her front room, where it is believed he closed the door, blocking her view of the entrance to the house.
Suspicious, the victim asked the man to leave and challenged his identity. The suspect said he would get his identity card from his car and left. The victim then saw him driving off towards the A2 in a blue saloon car. Later, she noticed someone had searched the upstairs of her house and stolen a substantial quantity of cash from her bedroom.
Detectives have now released an e-fit image of a man they believe could help with their enquiries (above). The suspect has been described as a white man with thinning fair hair and stubble. He is believed to be around 5ft 9ins tall and of medium build.
Senior investigating officer, DCI Ann Lisseman of Kent Police, told SFM News: 'We believe this victim may have been specifically targeted and we are working closely with her on our lines of enquiry.
This was a particularly unpleasant incident that has left a vulnerable lady very shaken up and upset. Never let anyone into your house that you don't know or aren't expecting. Genuine visitors will be more than happy to provide identification and remain outside while you verify it with their company and the police. A police officer will never come to your door and refuse to provide identification straight away, so please ask for it whenever you are unsure. No Kent Police officer will mind waiting outside while you verify who they are - look at their ID cards closely and if you are still unhappy, close the door and call us on 101 to confirm their identity. If you have any doubts at all, don't let them in. Ask them to come back another time or to arrange an appointment at a convenient time for you, when you can have a friend or neighbour present."
Anybody with any information on this incident is asked to call DC Richard Allingham on 01795 419230, quoting crime reference XY/020346/13. Alternatively they can contact Kent Crimestoppers free (from any landline) and anonimously on 0800 555 111.

Consultation On Children's Centre Closure
Kent County Council (KCC) are planning to change the way they deliver Children's Centre services throughout the county and have begun a consultation on the possible closure of the Woodgrove Children's Centre on Johnson Road here in Sittingbourne
A Press Release from the KCC states that "in the current economic climate efficiency savings must be made, so it is vital that the council sets out a new model for its Children's Centres which is sustainable for the long-term future".
The Council says that it has identified 16 lead centres which are bigger buildings in communities where more families need early support services. They are proposing that "in future these will become 'Children's Centre Plus' and will co-ordinate services across smaller, linked centres in the area. This will mean that they will work more closely with local GPs, schools, health visitors, child minders, nurseries, social services, health specialists, Job Centre Plus and the voluntary sector to offer better access to vital services".
The Council believe at this new model will allow for them "to focus spending on services to children, while reducing costs for buildings, management, and other overheads. It will deliver savings of at least £1.5m while maintaining wide coverage across the county and continued access to a nearby service for those who need it most".
KCC has launched a 12-week consultation from today (Thursday 3rd July) to get the views of local parents and carers and the wider community who use the centres now or will use them in the future.
Jenny Whittle, KCC cabinet member for specialist children's services, told SFM News that "KCC is committed to continuing to provide the services we currently offer through our Children's Centres and continuing to make a difference to the futures of families we help through those centres. We need to make efficiency savings and will seek to do this by minimising property and management costs. We are committed to seeking the views of those families for whom Children's Centres provide important services. We will be conducting a full public consultation over the summer to gather views on our proposals. We recognise how important these services are to many families and we are looking at new and different ways to deliver them to the people who need them most. This includes working together with clinical commissioning groups to host services for families and working with the expanded Kent health visitor workforce to support first time families and vulnerable parents and children in our communities."
Children's Centres provide early childhood services such as nursery provision, social services, health services, training and employment services for parents and prospective parents and information and advice. The Council believes that "parents will still be able to use services at another Children's Centre or community venue, such as a library or GP surgery. If the proposal is implemented in full, accessibility to a Children's Centre will remain the same for more than 99% of families. Services which improve health, education and social care outcomes for children and families will be protected and focussed on the needs of the local population. Earlier support will also be targeted towards the families that need it".
To find out more about the proposals and take part in the consultation, visit www.kent.gov.uk/childrenscentres. The consultation runs from 4th July - 4th October 2013.

Appeal After Suspicious Fire In Sheerness
Officers from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate have launched an appeal for information following a suspicious fire which has left two people with life threatening injuries.
Police were called to the blaze at a block of flats in Richmond Street, Sheerness at 3.25pm on Monday (24th June). It had been reported that two people had jumped from the top of the storey of the building. Three other people escaped the fire and a man was rescued by firefighters using a ladder. At the back of the building members of the public saved a woman and two children with a ladder.
Three people, two men and a woman were taken by air ambulance to hospital. A man and woman have sustained life threatening injuries. The third man was treated for smoke inhalation and has been discharged.
The incident is being investigated by Detective Inspector Lee Whitehead who told SFM News "we remain in consultation with Kent Fire and Rescue Service and other specialists. At this stage we believe this fire may have been stated deliberately. I am keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, such as someone outside the front of the property, before the fire broke out. I would also ask anyone living nearby who has experienced a fire recently that they may not have reported to come forward. Currently we are treating this as arson and a man and a woman remain in a life-threatening condition in hospital. Their injuries are severe and I would welcome information from the public that will help us uncover exactly what has happened. Regardless of how insignificant people may feel their information would be I urge them to get in contact with police as soon as possible."
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Kent Police on 101 or they can alternatively contact Kent CrimeStoppers free (from any landline) and anonimously on 0800 555111.

Despite strong winds, and a forecast of rain that didn't materialise, a great time was had by all at this year's Sittingbourne Carnival on Saturday (22nd June).

The whole event was live on 106.9 SFM from 10am until 5pm, with presenters Kevin Field, Joshua Coupe and Roy Lambert all doing their programmes live from the High Street in the Roadshow van (pictured).
Pam Griggs, Chairperson of the Sittingbourne Carnival Court told SFM News that the total collected on the day was £431, which was up on last year and roughly matched 2011's figure, however larger amounts had been raised in years previous to 2011. She went on to add "the feedback we've had is very positive and lots of regular visiting court members have said that they thought that there were significantly more people out supporting the event this year".
There were 32 entries this year up 50% on last year's total of 23.

Commonly known as the Women's Reservation Bill, it seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. Introduced by the UPA-I government in May 2008, it also provides that one third of the total number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be reserved for women of those groups. Similar Bills have been introduced thrice before in the late 90's but lapsed with the dissolution of their respective Lok Sabhas.
The Constitution (One Hundred and Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2008 seeks to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. The allocation of reserved seats shall be determined by such authority as prescribed by Parliament.
One third of the total number of seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes shall be reserved for women of those groups in the Lok Sabha and the legislative assemblies.
Reserved seats may be allotted by rotation to different constituencies in the state or union territory.
There are divergent views on the reservation policy. Proponents stress the necessity of affirmative action to improve the condition of women. Some recent studies on panchayats have shown the positive effect of reservation on empowerment of women and on allocation of resources.
Opponents argue that it would perpetuate the unequal status of women since they would not be perceived to be competing on merit. They also contend that this policy diverts attention from the larger issues of electoral reform such as criminalisation of politics and inner party democracy.
Reservation of seats in Parliament restricts choice of voters to women candidates. Therefore, some experts have suggested alternate methods such as reservation in political parties and dual member constituencies.
Rotation of reserved constituencies in every election may reduce the incentive for an MP to work for his constituency as he may be ineligible to seek re-election from that constituency.


Since we are mostly interested in contras and squares, I'd like to share with you what I've learned about a hybrid formation that combines contras and squares called zia formation (see the attached).  In the past year I've started writing and calling zias, and have found they can be a fun novelty for those audiences experienced enough to appreciate them.  Compared to another hybrid formation, grid squares, I have found they are harder to write but easier to dance, as they tend to stay aligned better and thus give dancers a more clearly defined path.  I'd certainly be interested if anyone on this list knows of other zia dances that have been used.

I noticed that a lot of parents force their sons to wear dress clothes and this improved their behaviour so I think that could be very good for my son too.He's now turning 16.
First of all should he wear a uniform with the same clothes or a dress code?
If you choose dress code who should choose the clothes he has to wear?
What should he wear for shoes and what kind of socks?
What should he wear for shirt?
If you choose dress shirt what colour?
Should he wear a tie?
Shoul he wear a vest or a sweater vest?
What should he wear on top?
How should I style his hair?
How should he be punished for bad behaviour/not wearing clothes properly?

Go is a war-like strategy game popular in Korea and China played with black and white stones on a 19x19 grid—it is not Chinese checkers. The game is at the heart of Christian DeWolf's Snapback Volume 1: Fuseki, along with Felix and his gang of Go fanatic friends at their Annapolis Valley High School. Shortly, an old friend of Felix's, the very rich and very cocky Ellison Rath, appears and sweeps the characters up, relationship troubles and all, into an energetic adventure to Osaka to see just how deep the secretive world of Go really is.
It's a tightly wrought first installment in what will be a longer serialized story, coming in just under 65 pages, told mostly through brisk dialogue with occasional manga-esque illustration. This all gives the work a pulpy lightness and airy quality akin to that of a Japanese light novel, making the terse format more of a strength than a weakness. There are some drawbacks: Much of the setpieces are laid out sans detailed description, which can be bewildering at times. But the dialogue is punchy, the characters diverse and likeable, and it's a book that's better for starting off in the familiarity of local Nova Scotia and then gradually unspooling its refreshing east Asian elements. Snapback Volume 1: Fuseki offers just enough of a shot of teenage boardgame conspiracy to keep you curious about the next installment.

A very large bolus of diuretic may also lead to reflex renal vasoconstriction and a higher risk of ototoxicity. Fluid restriction is an important adjunct to diuretic therapy in severely fluid overloaded patients. Using a fluid challenge in volume-overloaded patients with obvious peripheral oedema is counterproductive; inadequate urine output in these patients is invariably related to a low cardiac output and treating this often requires inotropic therapy.

Q: Marcin Mazur proof on irrationality of $\sqrt2$ I have a sketch of proof of irrationality of $\sqrt2$ due to Marcin Mazur. It is asupposed that $\sqrt2=\frac ab$ where $a$ is the smallest positive numerator that $\sqrt 2$ can have as a fraction. Since $\sqrt2=\frac{-4\sqrt2+6}{3\sqrt2-4}$, we have $\sqrt 2=\frac{4a-6b}{4b-3a}$. In order to get a contradiction we use the fact that $1<\sqrt2=\frac ab<2$ or $b<a<2b$. Now, $a<2b$ implies that
$$3a<6b\implies4a<6b+a\implies 4a-6b<a$$
I've tried a lot to prove that $0<4a-6b$, but couldn't arrive to any result. Could you help me, please?

A: I think you have a mistake in the argument. You need to start with the equation $$\sqrt{2}=\frac{6b-4a}{3a-4b}\tag{1}$$ Note that $4/3<\sqrt{2}=a/b<3/2$ and hence the integers $6b-4a$ and $3a-4b$ are positive. Further it should be noticed that $3a-4b<b$ because $a/b<5/3$. It follows that if we have positive integers $a, b$ with $a/b=\sqrt{2}$ then we have another positive integer $3a-4b$ less than $b$ and from equation $(1)$ we can see that the argument can be repeated indefinitely to get a sequence of decreasing positive integers. This is absurd and the proof is complete via this contradiction.

A: I believe this is how one could do it. Assume that $0 < 4a − 6b$. Then,
\begin{align*}
  0 &< 4a - 6b \\
  6b &< 4a \\
  \frac{3}{2} &< \frac{a}{b} = \sqrt{2} \\
  \implies \frac{9}{4} &< 2 = \frac{8}{4}
\end{align*}
which is clearly not true. Thus, $0 \nless 4a − 6b$.

Nearly a decade after three weeks of nightly rioting raged across disaffected French housing projects, two police officers go on trial on Monday over the deaths of two youths that detonated the explosion of violence.
Officers Sebastien Gaillemin and Stephanie Klein will face a court in Rennes on charges they failed to prevent the electrocution deaths of Bouna Traore, 15, and Zyed Benna, 17, after the pair hid from police in a high-voltage electricity transformer near their Clichy-sous-Bois housing project northeast of Paris.
Benna and Traore died in the fenced-off power facility on the afternoon of October 27, 2005 as police milled nearby. Their friend Muhittin Altun survived with severe burn injuries.
The five-day trial in the western city will examine whether Gaillemin and Klein knew the youths were in grave danger, but elected to do nothing about it.
News of Benna and Traore's deaths ignited the pent-up rage of younger Clichy residents over poor living conditions, discrimination, economic deprivation, police harassment and general alienation in the ghetto-like projects -- areas that, nearly a decade later, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls in January said still represent "territorial, social and ethnic apartheid" within French society.
The rioting, arson, and running clashes with security forces that broke out in Clichy after the electrocution deaths quickly spread across hundreds of similarly seething French communities, inducing much soul-searching in France, yet little improvement in the projects since.
Concerns over the darker consequences of that growing socio-ethnic split between mainstream France and its marginalised inhabitants rose higher still after the January attacks in Paris by youths who had embraced radical Islam.
The fact it took almost a decade for Gaillemin, 41 and Klein, 38, to face trial is additional proof that France's blighted "banlieues" and their residents are treated as second-class citizens whose lives -- and deaths -- are equally devalued, critics charge.
"Three kids were victims, two of them died in atrocious conditions. That could have been avoided, (but) the idea of acting to rescue youths who were from the projects never came to mind," charged Jean-Pierre Mignard, a lawyer for families of the victims.
Gaillemin and Klein are being tried for "non-assistance to individuals in danger" in Benna and Traore's deaths, a charge carrying a maximum prison term of years, and fines of up to 75,000 euros ($79,000).
Though Benna, Traore and Altun were all known in Clichy as well-behaved kids, supporters of their families say the trio did what project youths learn to do when police start chasing them: they ran from anticipated harassment and humiliation.
That led them into the fenced-off electrical transformers, where -- according to accounts and transcripts of police radio exchanges -- surrounding police discussed the fleeing youths and noted the dire consequences in the event they had sought shelter inside the high-voltage installation.
But Daniel Merchat, the lawyer for Klein and Gaillemin, says none of the evidence indicates the defendants knew the boys were in the complex and facing grave danger, yet decided to ignore it.
"My clients were never sure there were people in the (transformer). How do you want them to call for help when they didn't know anyone was in danger?" Merchat asks.
"My clients are relieved to finally get a hearing, because they are certain they did nothing wrong, committed no error," Merchat says.
The Rennes trial is the result of an October 2012 judicial decision ordering the case to court after numerous earlier rulings, pre-trial hearings and internal police investigations cleared Gaillemin and Klein of error or negligence in the tragedy.
Yet that very laborious process, Mignard says, is evidence "some people never wanted this case to be tried, (and) that almost worked."
Though the trial will finally render a verdict on whether Gaillemin and Klein were culpably responsible in the deaths of Traore and Benna, the ruling will likely be contested anew by opposing sides in the case -- and in a French society as divided and antagonistic today as it was during the violent nights of October 2005.

White Eyes, named Koquethagechton (c. 1730 – 5 November 1778), was Chief Sachem of the Lenape (Delaware) people in the Ohio Country during the era of the American Revolution. Sometimes known as George White Eyes, or Captain Grey Eyes al. Sir William, his given name in Lenape was rendered in many spelling variations in colonial records.

By 1773 he was Speaker of the Delaware Head Council and known as one of the most important councilors. White Eyes was a war chief and a tireless mediator in turbulent times, negotiating the first Indian treaties with the fledgling United States, and always working toward his ultimate goal of establishing a secure Indian territory. His assassination by an American militia officer is believed to have been covered up by United States officials.

Early life and education
Born in Somerset, Pennsylvania, estimated between 1646 and 1702. White Eyes was a member of the turtle clan(head) of the Lenape nation. His clan heritage marked him as a man in a position for leadership. Both his mother and father were Lenape leaders. Traditionally, the Lenape had lived in the Delaware River Valley.

Migration and career
After the war, when European colonists began settling near the Lenape villages around Fort Pitt in western Pennsylvania, the Native Americans moved further west to Muskingum in the Muskingum River valley in present-day eastern Ohio. By this time, many Lenape had converted to Christianity under the influence of Moravian missionaries and lived in villages led by these missionaries. The missionary towns also moved to Muskingum, so that the Lenape, both Christian and non-Christian, could stay together. Though not a Christian, White Eyes ensured that the Christian Lenape remained members of the larger native community.

Marriage and family
After becoming a chief, White Eyes married Rachel Doddridge (d. 1788), a young English colonist who had been taken captive as a 5-year-old child during a Lenape raid and adopted into the Lenape people, becoming fully assimilated. They had at least one son, named George Morgan White Eyes.

Rachel had been living with her father Philip Doddridge and family at a farm on Chartier's Creek near Statler's Fort (Washington County, Pennsylvania). Her cousin Philip Doddridge reported seeing her later as an adult at a trading post. Thoroughly assimilated by then, she was not interested in a reunion with her British relatives.

Town in Ohio
White Eyes established his own town, known by the colonists as White Eyes' Town, near the Lenape capital of Coshocton, Ohio. By 1773 White Eyes served as Speaker of the Delaware Head Council, an important position and indication of his high reputation in the tribe. In 1774, the Lenape Grand Council, an association of chiefs, named White Eyes as principal chief of the nation.

In the early 1770s, violence on the frontier between whites and Indians threatened to escalate into open warfare. White Eyes unsuccessfully attempted to prevent what would become Lord Dunmore's War in 1774, fought primarily between the Shawnee and Virginia colonists. He served as a peace emissary between the two armies, and helped negotiate a treaty to end the war.

Revolution and death

When the American Revolutionary War began soon after the end of Dunmore's War, White Eyes was negotiating a royal grant with Lord Dunmore to secure the Lenape territory in the Ohio Country.  After the American revolutionaries forced Dunmore out of Virginia, White Eyes had to begin anew with the Americans.

In April 1776, he addressed the Continental Congress in Philadelphia on behalf of the Lenape. Two years later he completed an alliance of the Delaware with the United States by a treaty signed in 1778 at Fort Pitt. It promised to establish a Lenape state, with representation in the American Congress, provided that the Congress approved.
The treaty provided for the Lenape to serve as guides for the Americans when they moved through the Ohio Country to strike at their British and Indian enemies to the north, in and around Detroit. In early November 1778, White Eyes joined an American expedition under General Lachlan McIntosh as a guide and negotiator.

Soon after, the Americans reported that White Eyes had contracted smallpox and died during the expedition. After his death, the Lenape alliance with the Americans eventually collapsed. The Americans by then had no interest in supporting a state under Lenape control. After his death, Gelelemend of the Turtle Clan became the principal chief of the Lenape as no other leader was qualified by clan.

Assassination claim
Years later, George Morgan, a US Indian agent, trader, and former close associate of White Eyes, wrote a letter to Congress claiming that the chief had been "treacherously put to death" by American militia in Michigan. Later documentation affirmed that White Eyes had been assassinated by an American militia officer on November 5, 1778. (Morgan had helped negotiate with Native Americans in the Fort Pitt area, so was closely involved in these matters.) He also wrote that the murder of White Eyes had been covered up to prevent the Lenape from abandoning the revolutionaries.

White Eyes' British-Lenape wife Rachel Doddridge was reportedly murdered by white men in 1788. Their mixed-race son George Morgan White Eyes (1770?–1798) was cared for by the family friend George Morgan.  Later he was educated at the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University), where his tuition was paid by the Continental Congress.  He graduated in 1789.

Legacy and honors
White Eyes Township in Coshocton County, Ohio was named after the chief as a tribute to his leadership and building an alliance with the revolutionaries.

Только предварительно исчисленные с того потери фермеров - исторически первые итоги суммы нанесенного эффекта от энергии морального распада ученых либералов-лысенковцев с их неудержимым поносом "глобальным потепленем" - оцениваются в миллиард долларов. И это еще только по цитрусовым, что висят нынче все в сосульках, как елочные украшения.
Заклинаемое вышепомянутыми шаманами потепление вымораживает калифорнийский урожай цитрусовых практически полностью.

FRESNO, Calif. - Shoppers soon will be feeling the sting of higher prices from a wave of icy weather that has hit California farms. As much as three-quarters of the state's citrus crop withered in the field during the cold snap, but nearly every winter crop, from avocados to fresh-cut flowers, has suffered severely.
Price hikes still won't be enough to offset the damage, as growers cope with nearly $1 billion in losses following four consecutive nights of subfreezing temperatures.
On Tuesday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asked the federal government for disaster aid from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Small Business Administration for growers and other affected businesses.
"This is not just about the crop this year. It could also have a devastating effect next year," Schwarzenegger said after touring a devastated orange grove in Fresno. "My administration will make sure that we do everything we can to help the farmers and workers get through this."
The state's citrus industry stands to take the biggest economic hit of all crops.
California is the nation's No. 1 producer of fresh citrus, growing about 86 percent of lemons and 21 percent of oranges sold in the U.S., according to the California Farm Bureau. Florida produces more citrus overall, mostly for use in orange juice, according to the USDA.
Growers say more than 70 percent of this season's oranges, lemons and tangerines were still on the trees as nighttime temperatures in California's Central Valley dipped into the low 20s and teens beginning Friday. The fruit is threatened whenever the mercury falls below 28 degrees.
"Limited amounts were harvested before the freeze, so it's not like the markets are going to dry up suddenly," said Claire Smith, a spokeswoman for Sunkist Growers Inc., a Los Angeles-based cooperative owned by some 6,000 growers in California and Arizona.
Still, the diminished supply is bound to drive up prices, Smith said. Sunkist may import oranges and other fruit from South Africa and other countries.
"We may adjust the prices as we discover the full extent of the damage next week, but for now, if you bought an orange at the supermarket for 50 cents, expect to pay a dollar to $1.49 for it," said Todd Steel, owner of Royal Vista Marketing, which sells California citrus to markets throughout the country.
Damages from the freeze will likely surpass those from a three-day cold snap in December 1998 that destroyed 85 percent of California's citrus crop, a loss valued at $700 million, state Agriculture Secretary A.G. Kawamura said.
The state also suffered a deep freeze in 1990 — one that completely wiped out the $1 billion crop. It took growers two years to recover.
Labor leaders are also watching the weather closely. They estimate as many as 12,000 field workers and packing house employees could lose their jobs for the remainder of the season.
The state may offer emergency unemployment assistance to workers laid off because of the crisis, said Henry Renteria, director of the state Office of Emergency Services.
Damaged fruit from the current freeze may still be salvaged as juice, usually a byproduct for California farmers, Smith said.
Adverse weather has also taken a toll on the Florida-dominated orange juice industry in recent years. After two nasty hurricane seasons compounded by drought and crop disease, PepsiCo Inc., which sells juice under the Tropicana and Dole labels, and Coca-Cola Co., which owns Minute Maid, each raised orange juice prices over the past several weeks.
Inflated prices also are expected for other crops that have fallen victim to the icy California weather, state agricultural officials said.
Lee Cole, chief of Santa Paula-based Calavo Growers Inc., which sells 35 to 40 percent of the state's $380 million avocado crop, said the freeze may have claimed up to 40 percent of Calavo's crop in Ventura County, with damage along the less-frigid coast between San Luis Obispo and Escondido hovering between 25 and 35 percent.
"Prices will certainly be higher," he said.
If the damage is severe, the trees could also bear fewer avocados next year, Cole said.
Strawberries growing along the coastal regions of Southern California were mostly ruined, according to the California Strawberry Commission. The freeze also destroyed flowers that would produce the next berry crop on each plant.
Growers in the Imperial Valley also were worried about tender vegetables such as lettuce that may not have held up to nearly a week of temperatures in the mid-20s, said Brad Rippey, a USDA meteorologist.
Throughout the cold snap, growers have tried to save their crops by pumping fields with heated irrigation water and running wind machines to circulate warmer air and keep it from rising off the trees.
For cut-flower producers, the damage mostly will be felt in the form of increased heating costs, said Kathryn Miele, director of marketing for the California Cut Flower Commission, which represents several hundred growers.
Valentine's Day rose crop — are pampered indoors, meaning growers are forced to spend more to keep greenhouses balmy, she said.
As state and county inspectors continue assessing the damage, fruit packers have been asked to keep produce harvested during the freeze on hold for five days to monitor quality problems and keep damaged fruit off shelves.
Associated Press writers Jacob Adelman, Mike Blood and Andrew Dalton in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

ACCELERATED READER PROGRAM
St. John the Evangelist School utilizes Accelerated Reader (AR) software as part of our comprehensive reading program. AR is a learning information system that enables freestanding computer-assisted assessment of student comprehension.
After reading a book, students take a multiple-choice quiz on the book's content and earn points based on the number of correct responses, the length of the book, and the readability level of the book. Individual classroom teachers and SJE's Reading Specialist then use data from the quizzes to monitor student performance, guide students to appropriate books, and target instruction. Student progress is also tracked via a special AR bulletin board outside the library; students receive N.U.T. cards each time they advance to a new certification level.
Teachers incorporate the AR program into their curriculum in different ways. The program is not designed to replace instructional materials, but rather support and enhance them. Students are encouraged to participate in AR in order to further practice and develop their reading skills.
Parents can check their child's progress through a special web-based interface, Home Connect. By logging on from their home computer using specific user names and passwords provided by SJE, parents can:
Monitor progress toward reading goals;
Conduct book searches through AR BookFinder
Review AR quiz results
View the number of books read and quizzes passed
Sign up to receive an automatic email when a student takes a quiz (including the score)
As always, parents are also welcome to contact individual teachers directly about their child's participation in the program. In general, students select their own books and read at their own pace. With over 120,000 quizzes available, including classics and contemporary literature, we have something for everyone. Even the reluctant reader!
AR provides three important pieces of information about each book that can help guide students to titles that are right for them:
Book Level: Represents the difficulty of the test.
Interest Level: Based on content - a book's themes and ideas - and indicates the general age group for which a book is most appropriate. Books fall into one of three interest levels.
LG - Lower Grades, K-3
MG - Middles Grades, 4-8
UG - Upper Grades, 9-12
Points: Assigned to each book based primarily on its length and difficulty.
Selecting books that have Accelerated Reader quizzes is easy with the AR BookFinder search tool. With BookFinder, parents, guardians, and students can:
Search for books that have a corresponding AR quiz via any Internet enabled computer;
Search collections featuring award-winning titles, State Lists for all 50 states and Librarians' Picks;
Refine searches by author, reading level, point value, and topic; and,
See book details including book covers, summary information, page counts, and ISBN numbers.
Please note, while SJE does utilize the web-based version of AR, students are able to take quizzes only during school hours on school computers.

Why don't we have a cure for hangovers yet?
In a new book, journalist Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall is on a mission to end the misery.
Share Why don't we have a cure for hangovers yet?
For the past decade, Canadian journalist Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall has been on a quest to find a cure for the common hangover.
To this end, he consults remedies both medical and folk: He undergoes an IV treatment at a medical institution in Las Vegas called Hangover Heaven; consults with a menagerie of academics, a Druid, several doctors, and the CEO of 5-Hour Energy (among others); participates in a glacial New Year's polar bear swim; absorbs the beer-soaked wisdom of the English countryside; and ingests any number of curative concoctions, with varying degrees of success.
These experiences become fodder for Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure, a book that is as concerned with the science and culture of hangovers as it is with relieving them. I called Bishop-Stall to find out what we know about hangovers, why we don't know more, and why — if hangovers are so miserable — people keep drinking. Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.
How did you end up spending a decade researching hangovers?
The more that I started to look into the science of it and the history of it, the more I realized that, first of all, no such large endeavor had ever been undertaken. There were no books about hangovers, really. I mean, there have been jokey coffee table books or some sort of ancient, obscure references, but there was really so little for what became, to me, such a large part of human experience. That disconnect was just too obvious, and so I just became more and more fascinated by it.
If it's such a core part of human experience — drinking too much, feeling physically wrecked the next day — why hasn't it been studied more?
I think there's something mysterious about the phenomenon. It's a sickly, crummy, negative feeling, for the most part, and how much do we really want to focus on that? That may be one part of it. Even for me, it took a long time to realize what a wealth of fascinating stories come out of miserable aspects of life.
Also, there's just been so little focus on it in the medical and scientific communities, just because there's a very easy way to dismiss it: Well, you did it to yourself. It's your own fault. You drank. If you didn't drink, you'd be fine, so why even try to look into it anymore?
It's a phenomenon that is scientifically and culturally fascinating, but we just say, "Oh, you know, it's easily solvable." The strangest thing is we believe it's easily solvable because we did it to ourselves, but we also feel like we can't actually solve it. Hangovers are so dichotomous in that way. It's the same thing for cures: Everybody either thinks they have a cure and they go around telling everybody about it, or they believe that nobody has one.
The weird thing about hangovers is that that they're self-inflicted but generally not fatal. Just deeply unpleasant.
Right, so it's not necessarily a question of say, overdose. A hangover is actually withdrawal. It's a quick withdrawal, much quicker than what happens with a lot of drugs. It usually leaves your system entirely within 24 hours. But the mechanism that breaks down alcohol and then filters it out of your system is so complicated and affects so many aspects of human physiology that it's very difficult to understand.
Then combine that with the fact that we haven't even really been trying to understand it through most of human history. We feel like we know so much about everything these days that there aren't uncharted territories. And yet I was very hard-pressed to find people who could explain hangovers to me or were in agreement with each other about what the mechanism behind them even is.
Let's back up for a second: What is a hangover, physiologically?
There are so many things going on. It starts when alcohol is broken down in the body— when the body processes alcohol, one of the byproducts is acetaldehyde, which is a toxic substance.
Then the body starts to react to that acetaldehyde, and it causes all sorts of nasty things, including very strong immune system responses from the body. A lot of what's happening in a hangover is our body trying to defend itself from this nasty byproduct.
One of the many mechanisms that [kicks in] is an overall inflammation of your cells. I mean, in all your cells: your skin cells, the cells of your liver, your pancreas, your eyes. Everything becomes inflamed, and one of the many problems with cell inflammation is that it stops your body from absorbing water properly.
Alcohol already is a diuretic, and then you add the fact that your body isn't absorbing water properly, and that's why a huge part of hangover is dehydration. But when people say, "Well, it's just dehydration," they're really not understanding that even the dehydration is just a symptom. If it was just dehydration, you could just drink water and you'd be fine, right? But it's that it's a dehydration that can't be managed, because your body is in a state of not being able to absorb water. Every part of the body starts to activate in a somewhat panicked way, it seems to me, when the alcohol leaves the system.
Besides, you know, drinking in moderation, is there any way to stop that from happening?
For me, the only real way to stop a hangover is to stop it before that mechanism starts, because once it does, it's such a domino effect. It ends up infiltrating every part of the body. Once it starts, the only thing you can do is treat it. By treat it, I mean just lessening the severity and the duration.
You spend a lot of the book trying various hangover cures — everything from doctor-administered IV drips in Las Vegas to eating charcoal scraped off your actual fireplace.
One thing that really surprised me when I was doing my research is how many ancient, ancient remedies actually have modern scientific reasoning behind them. I guess that's the wrong way of looking at it — there are reasons that we now see, scientifically, why ancient cures could have worked.
So for example, when I did my "12 pints in 12 pubs" tour in England [an attempt to recreate the apocalyptic pub crawl in the 2013 film The World's End], I kept asking all the bartenders, while we were getting drunk, for their best remedy, and all of them would say a proper British fry-up, which is basically eggs, bacon, and a bunch of other stuff.
Eggs have always been one of the most common remedies, and it turns out that one of the things that's inside eggs is N-acetylcysteine, which is the same amino acid I ended up identifying as the most important ingredient in my own personal cure or concoction.
Same things with ancient remedies like boiled cabbage — we now understand that cabbage is a chelator, which means that it goes into the body, grips onto toxins, and then pulls them out with it when it leaves your system. It's the same way charcoal works, which is why they give you charcoal tablets if you're having an overdose. But it correlates with my Victorian chimney sweeps method of putting fireplace soot in a cup of milk and drinking that. A lot of these remedies that just seem folkloric or really esoteric actually do have some scientific reasoning behind them.
It seems like different remedies work for different people, to the extent than anything works at all.
I think that's definitely true. I mean, think of how vastly different everybody responds to alcohol to begin with.
The way that alcohol targets the brain is much more impossible to track, and more scattered, than almost any other drug. If you look at most molecules that enter the brain and change brain chemistry, they're targeting one or two specific receptors. Whereas alcohol sort of blankets the frontal lobe, where there are thousands upon thousands of receptors, and it affects all of them. What you're dealing with is a totality of brain chemistry rather than a very tiny equation.
We know just from being alive and knowing people that all our brains are very different. To say alcohol does X for one person doesn't mean it's going to do the same thing for another. And the same thing seems to be true when it withdraws from our system, which also appears to be quite complicated.
One of the doctors you talk to argues that the whole idea of "curing" hangovers is misguided, because they have an important function: to deter people from drinking too much. Is it a good idea to cure hangovers?
Well, I'm not sure, and it seems that we are really somehow reticent to the idea anyway. What I don't get is it seems like when I talk to people, everybody takes for granted that we all really want a hangover cure, but then everybody also seems to take for granted it's impossible to find one. Those two things don't connect for me at all. I mean, we all can sit there and watch a movie and see actual monsters that we've made on a screen.
It makes zero logical sense. I think we're somehow predisposed to not think it's possible because — maybe intrinsically or maybe subconsciously — we know it shouldn't be possible for the continuation of the species. I don't know. But the weird thing is that it also cuts the other way, because they're not as much a disincentive as it seems they should be. People know they're going to get a hangover and still get drunk. That's one question that came up working on the book: If hangovers hurt so much, why do we keep drinking?
I've never heard anybody talk about this, but I also think there's a good chance that a lot of us get addicted to hangovers themselves.
People get addicted to the actual sensation?
A hangover gives you a bizarre freedom from having too many options at any one moment, or life being too complicated and you being anxious because you're torn in too many directions. All of that can, to some degree, go quiet when you have a hangover because you have only one main objective, which is to survive this pain. For some people, it can be a bizarrely liberating thing because you don't have any choices to make at that time.
And to a lesser degree, I think a lot of people get into the mode of taking a vacation from their everyday worries. They're able to focus on the sickening task at hand, and I think some people — even subconsciously — start to crave that a little bit.
It's sort of meditation-adjacent, except with nausea.
Yeah. Meditation-adjacent. I think that's a good way of putting it.

British Empire, Victoria for India, 1 Rupee 1901
When the British colonization army invaded east India in the 18th century, they hit upon a diversity of coinage consisting of more than 1000 different sorts of gold and silver coins. The most important of these coins was a silver denomination that had been in circulation on the Indian Subcontinent for hundreds of years: the rupee. In 1773, the British East Indian Company started to issue its own rupees for India. However, in the 1850s, the privileges of the East Indian Company were cut and transferred to the English crown. When Queen Victoria (1837-1901) adopted the title of Empress of India in 1887, the British-Indian coins henceforth bore the inscription VICTORIA – EMPRESS. Incidentally, the queen was always depicted as a young women on her colonial coins; on English coins, on the other hand, Victoria's portrait was adjusted to her growing age several times.

Table Music was composed and recorded in August and September of 2020. The music was created as the score for the short film "Table #6" from Gonzalo Fernandez and Daan Simons.
vimeo.com/418389416/c7dba9407f
"Table #6" shows the making of a wooden table without glue or screws, inspired by Japanese joinery. The step-by-step process of woodworker Daan Simons building a pear wood table is captured and portrayed in a poetic manner which reflects the artistry of the woodworking itself. "Table #6" was filmed, directed and edited by Gonzalo Fernandez. This is Chris' third collaboration with Gonzalo (following "Colloseum" and "La Isola"), and when Gonzalo proposed making an original score for Table # 6, Tczeebo seemed like the perfect fit.
As we (Aaron, Dave & Chris) are living in different countries and were limited in our mobility due to the pandemic, we were forced to record the music separately. This approach had its difficulties, but eventually yielded interesting results that we may not have achieved using traditional methods.
Gonzalo had already made an edit of the film with reference music, so we used that as a springboard; One of us would improvise or compose a part inspired by the reference, then send that along to the next to overdub their part, and so on. Chris mixed the gathered elements and then sent them back around for Dave or Aaron to replace parts or do extra overdubs etc., continuing this circular process until we were happy with the outcome. The resulting music is part composed, part improvised, and largely a patchwork collage of both.
Dave recorded at home and in Studio SoundHome in Brooklyn, Aaron recorded at home and on the road in New York and Pennsylvania, and Chris recorded at Studio Delphine in Amsterdam, NL. Thanks to Bo Koek for listening to the mixes and offering feedback, and to Ralf Pouw for doing a wonderful job mastering the record.

We all know that preparation is key to perfecting important communications, but as Sandra Davis explains, how we practise can be just as significant.
We often find clients craft their speeches on paper and practise in their heads. But this has little benefit if the goal is to sound authentic and engaging. Why? Well when we write, we tend to do so in a linguistically and grammatically correct way. But as speakers in any native language, we are not perfect – we do all sorts of things that we wouldn't do when we write: we use repetition, we abbreviate, and we use our voice to add meaning, for example by speeding up for excitement or slowing down for emphasis – a bit like an oral highlighter.
None of these things work on the page.
On the other hand, what we can process when we are reading, as opposed to listening, can be highly complex – long sentences, complex sentence structures, embedded clauses, indented bullets – all fine for the reader and hopeless for a listener. When you've spent hours drafting a speech, it can lose its impact once said out loud.
Bladonmore has created a solution to help – our Saymore app. Saymore is a tool that makes it easy for you to practise your communications anytime, anywhere. It allows you to prepare in the same format that you are delivering your story – out loud. And when you have a version that you are happy with, you can save it and export it.
Instead of writing your presentations or messages, you simply recite them into the app. The app will record your words, create a transcript and give you feedback on things such as how quickly you were talking, your volume and whether you were using filler words such as 'so' or 'you know' which have little content value.
Then, the app can even act as an autocue, scrolling through your speech at the same rate you spoke and highlighting key words that you want to stress in your delivery.
So, if you are taking the time to deliver your message or story in person to people who matter, whether colleagues, clients or your community, then using Saymore to prepare will help you persuade more and achieve better outcomes.
The app is free and can be downloaded from both the iStore and Playstore for use on Android and Apple phones and tablets. You will need a user name and password which you can get by emailing hello@bladonmore.com.
I have spent my entire career in communications, but in very different ways. I began as a speech therapist and while I no longer practice, it gave me a fascination of how we process language and respond to it.


Daughter Wanda and Dexter's beautifully landscaped property is electronically gated at the end of Sanctuary Drive in Florida. Beyond is a huge, gorgeous lake. However, the six acres between the highway and their home is rugged, unkempt, wild weeds. Wanda complained to the city officials and was told the owner lives somewhere in Europe and they have been unable to make contact. Occasionally, when she mows her lawn, she rides the mower over a wide frontage of this property to take away the impression of driving through a jungle to get to her house. That's what she was doing two weeks ago.
"Well, today, I didn't walk the land to pick up fallen branches and trash before mowing. Surely, the mower can push those palm fronds back a ways. I don't want to climb off my mower."
It worked! The mower flipped over the fronds and to Wanda's horror revealed a HUGE Diamondback Rattlesnake, all coiled in a pile; his head reared back to a striking position just about 12 inches from her ankle!!!! Wanda slapped the riding mower in reverse, scooting back about 25 feet! This snake was fat and ugly…(Aren't they ALL?). His head was three inches across at his jaws. She grabbed her cell phone and called the police.
"Do you all kill BIG snakes?"
"No; but we can send out someone who does."
The man arrived in an SUV with what resembled a huge dog kennel. He had a "grabber" with pinchers which captured the snake's head. It was still in a big coil. Wanda kept her distance, about 25 feet away! This man was well experienced, as he wrestled the snake whose body was bigger around than the man's two hands. It was almost seven feet long! Wanda asked if it was an "old" snake. He said, "No! He's still growing. He's a mature adolescent!"
It was quite a "show" getting that snake into the "dog house." I wondered why the man didn't shoot it with a tranquilizer. Wanda asked, "Aren't you going to kill him?"
"No," he explained, "we'll use him for cancer research!"
His service call was $40.00. Wanda said she would have gladly paid $100!
As soon as Wanda and I hung up the phone, talking about the snake, I talked to God.
I had prayed for Wanda! I had asked God to keep her safe, completely unaware that the next day she would be in danger. What if she had "walked the land" that day, or gotten off the mower and lifted those palm branches? My eyes filled with tears as I thanked God over and over. I cannot miss a day of prayer time about my children. Our ever-present God lovingly awaits our companionship. He created the whole world, yet cares for me in my tiny part of His world. It is hard to understand, but I'm thankful for His caring and the mighty roll He plays in my life.
On Thursday, May 31st, my son Ronnie called me to tell me he was really sick. I could tell by his voice it was serious. I told him to please go to a doctor. He said he was too sick! The next day, he called again. I was worried and again tried to convince him to seek help. Why are men so stubborn? He's not my little boy any more!!! All I could do was pray.
Monday noon, he called me from his doctor's office, saying, "The doctor is putting me in the hospital immediately. I've got pneumonia." That night, his wife Ethel Rose told us the doctor could give her no hope. He had waited too long. The 40 cancer treatments of radiation just ended took away a lot of his strength." Even though it was 9:30, I called Miriam, our Prayer Group Leader, and she prayed with me over the phone. She promised to call the rest of our prayer team group.
The next morning, Ronnie's pastor and my brother Jerry (Pastor at Farrington Baptist Church) were both at Ronnie's bedside, praying with him. I am very familiar with the Bible verse "Pray without ceasing." My heart overflows with gratitude for God's grace and mercy.
Ronnie passed the critical part and was moved from Intensive Care Unit to a double-bed room.
He complained about the noisy visitors all day and into the night of the other patient. He begged to go home. This wish was granted on June 11th, with restrictions: bed rest, medication, diet.
Psalm 136:1: "O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever..
I cannot tell you about prayer -- about God. Just like eating a strawberry ice cream cone: I can tell you all about it; but you must experience it yourself. Prayer is the one resource everyone has when everything else seems gone. It is the quickest way out of the "valley."
"For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways" Psalm 91:11.
"The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy" Psalm 103:8.
With God, every day is a day to hope for the very best; to believe our prayers are being heard; to believe good news is on its way; and that anything can happen between yesterday and tomorrow.
There are some people who cannot understand how God can hear their prayers. Maybe we won't really understand it until we meet Him in Heaven. But it certainly is getting easier.
Wanda decided to call Dortha on her cell phone. I think it was about 7:00 that evening in Florida. Dortha answered at 2:00 a.m. in Hawaii! Unbelievable? Wanda holds this little "gadget" in her hand and punches in a few numbers and a "gadget" wakes up Dortha in Hawaii, and they talk to each other. Wanda forgot Dortha was on vacation. But I can't understand how this is possible! The Bible is full of instructions on prayer -- like a cell phone call to God.
Last December (2011), Dortha, Dale and I flew to Florida. Sarah met us at the airport which is about an hour's drive away from Wanda and Dexter's new home where we would spend the next ten days of Christmas. I remembered having only $20. in my billfold. I decided to add some more from the bank envelope. I searched through my purse. No bank envelope! I kept thinking about cashing a check for this trip, but I just never did! This road from the airport to Wanda's home reminded me of Hwy 1960 in Houston: just one business after another on both sides of the street.
I kept praying there would be a Chase Bank in Florida and on this road. For 30 minutes, I kept searching from one side to the other. Then I saw a Wells Fargo Bank. I spoke to everyone: "In Houston, it seems every Chase Bank is across the street from a Wells Fargo. We just passed a Wells Fargo, but I didn't see a Chase Bank." Sarah asked, "Do you need a Chase Bank?" "Yes, I sure do."
She punched some numbers on her cell phone, and said, "We just passed one three miles back. We can be there in five minutes." She exited the freeway to enter on the other side. I spoke at the very moment for God to answer my prayer!
God is Good! No prayer is too big or too small for Him to answer. He cares!

Outhouses, outbuildings, privys...just a few of the names that this shed building is known to be called. While its original purpose may be no longer required in most areas, consider having one in your backyard as a place to store garden tools and gardening supplies. Your visitors and neighbors will do a double-take. An outhouse, (also known as a privy, kybo, jakes or earth-closet) usually refers to a type of toilet in a small structure separate from the main building which does not have a flush or sewer attached.
