Some shrubs and vines are suited to planting in large containers.
This article covers how to plant small vines - with a trellis, and compact-growing roses in containers.
Many varieties of clematis are ideally suited to container growing. Special care must be given to choosing the right container, the right support, the right soil and of course the variety - just right for that special spot. Mandevilla and Passion Flower, and other tropical vines are suitable for planting in containers that can overwinter indoors.
The minimum size of a suitable container is 18" wide by 18" high by 18" deep (45cm x 45cm x 45cm). In picking a container, metal or any material that conducts heat should be avoided. Stick with pottery, plastic or a long lasting wood like teak.
A potting soil with a high content of coarse peat moss will help retain moisture but also provide sufficient drainage. Proper support is very important. If you are going to grow your clematis against a wall, a trellis of some sort is required. In lieu of a trellis sweet pea netting stapled to a fence or wall serves as an inexpensive and effective support. If you wish to have your container free standing, a tripod of bamboo or cedar stakes works very well. Or, you can choose one of the metal or heavy-duty plastic or wood obelisks now available.
A tripod of strong canes makes a good free standing support. Many different trellises or obelisks work equally well. A tower structure like an obelisk is often heavy and wide enough to go around the pot diameter. If the vine and it's pot are put into a larger decorative container, this works well. If put against a wall, it will withstand wind, too.
If your container is large enough, annuals or a ground cover can be planted on the surface. Feed and water often to encourage blooms all summer.
Choose rose varieties that are naturally compact. Select a rose that will stay in scale with the container without much heavy pruning (see a list of the best roses for pots below).
In terms of size, 24 to 36-inch-wide containers are ideal. For durability, lean toward cast stone or molded resin containers. While the popular half-whiskey barrels are a good size, they tend to decompose in wet climates unless they are heavily treated with preservatives. Teak is a better wood for durable planters.
Follow the planting steps 2 through 5 above for clematis. Miniature rose climbers are also suitable for containers, and may require a small trellis or obelisk. See the Selecting Roses article for Miniature Climbers - in the Climbing Roses section.

Opportunity used its navigation camera for this northward view of tracks the rover left on a drive from one energy-favorable position on a sand ripple to another.The rover team calls this strategy "hopping from lily pad to lily pad."
Opportunity took this image on the 2,235th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's mission on Mars (May 8, 2010). The tracks were taken during a 14.87-meter (49-foot) drive southward on the preceding sol. Mars' southern hemisphere was in the minimal sunshine period close to the winter solstice, which occurred May 13, 2010 (Universal Time).
Making progress on Opportunity's long trek to Endeavour Crater remained the extended mission's priority, but the amount of solar energy was so limited during that season that Opportunity needed to rest to recharge batteries for sols between drives. The sun crosses the sky low in the north. Choosing end points for drives that give a favorable northward tilt for the rover's solar panels makes the recharging go faster. The sand ripples in this part of Meridiani Planum are aligned generally north-south, so this means ending drives on the northern ends of the ripples.
The flat-faced rock near the center of this image is a target for contact investigation by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity in early March 2015.
On Earth, a fast runner takes a few hours to complete a marathon. On Mars, it's taken 11 years. NASA's Opportunity rover crossed that finish line in 2015.
This false-color view from NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows "Lunokhod 2 Crater," which lies south of Solander Point on the west rim of Endeavour Crater.

Q: How to NOT load Solaris SPARC drivers at boot Trying to get a driver (one of ours) working on Solaris 10 / 11 (this box happens to be Sol 10), with dev studio 12.3.  It seems to be built, however, it crashes when loading, thanks to a NULL pointer dereference and the box now endlessly reboots.
I found a way to get the ok prompt on my PC keyboard (hold Shift-Break) but I cannot seem to find a way to boot the box and not load the drivers! Single-user mode loads them too!
Do I have to reinstall the OS or is there a keyboard-warrior way out of this?

A: Have you tried booting off a CD/DVD and mounting the root drive to remove your disable/drivers?
And since you mention Solaris 10, have you tried booting to another ABE (alternate boot environment) if your using LU (Live Upgrade)?  Which would also allow you to mount the primary BE (Boot Environment) and disable/remove your drivers.
You could also try to see if there are any defined on the boot device at the ok prompt with:
boot <device> -L
In case of success, it prints the bootable BE's on the device -- memory says also syntax on how to boot to one.

A: You need to add an exclude line to a copy of /etc/system, then use that to boot.
Per the system.4 man page:

exclude: <namespace>/<modulename>
Do not allow the listed loadable kernel module to be loaded. exclude commands are cumulative; the list of modules to exclude is
  created by combining every exclude entry in the system file.

You should probably create a failsafe /etc/system file when working with kernel modules.
See SPARC: How to Boot a System Interactively for the full process, including an alternate kernel.  That's probably overkill for your needs.
This should work:

*

*Boot via CD/DVD

*Mount the root filesystem

*Make a copy of /etc/system:
cp /a/etc/system /a/etc/system.failsafe

*Add exclude: your/driver to the failsafe copy.

*Boot interactively:  boot -a

*When prompted for /etc/system, enter /etc/system.failsafe.

2016 Eastern League Preview: Richmond Flying Squirrels
Posted on March 23, 2016 by Mick Reinhard
Ray Black
Prior to the season we're previewing the 12 Eastern League teams in reverse order of last season's record. Rosters won't be finalized until the week before Opening Day, so my Players to Watch is pure speculation at this point.
Up next, we have the Richmond Flying Squirrels…
2015 record: 72-68
Affiliation: San Francisco Giants
Manager: Miguel Ojeda
Hitting coach: Ken Joyce
Pitching coach: Steve Kline
Five Players to Watch
RHP Ray Black – Black has all the tools to be a dominant Major League reliever for a long time as the Wilkes-Barre, PA native features a tantalizing fastball he regularly throws in the triple digits and a nasty slider. But numerous injuries including Tommy John surgery in high school, a torn labrum in college, and a lat injury last season which limited him to just 25 innings along with serious control issues have raised serious question marks about his future. This quote from prospect guru John Sickels sums it up best, "Ray Black could be an overpowering major league closer, or Ray Black could be pitching in the Mexican League two years from now."
LHP Andrew Suarez – Suarez famously spurned Washington in 2014 when he chose to return to college at Miami for his senior season instead of signing with the Nationals who had selected him in the second round. The southpaw is a fast riser in the Giants' system thanks to four solid offerings he commands and a mature understanding of pitching.
SS Christian Arroyo – Arroyo didn't seem to mind his aggressive promotion to High-A San Jose last season as the 20-year-old still hit .304 in 90 games. The Florida native is thought of as a pure hitter and has hand-eye coordination off the charts. Although a position change is likely in his future, Arroyo is still penciled in at shortstop for now.
RHP Chase Johnson – Johnson is a rare pitcher who was a closer in college and has since been converted to a starter in his professional career. The former third round draft pick struggled to a 5.93 ERA in three starts with Richmond at the end of last season as he allowed 16 hits and walked eight over 13.2 innings. Johnson is a groundball pitcher who showcases a heavy, mid-90s fastball while the rest of his arsenal is developing.
RHP Jason Forjet – Players selected in the 31st round and 958th overall aren't supposed to get better the higher they climb in the organization, but don't tell Forjet that. The right-hander has lowered his ERA and WHIP the last two seasons as he notched 7 wins each year. Not thought of in prospect circles, the 26-year-old should get a shot at AA Richmond to see if his stuff can play up even more than it already has.
2016 Outlook:
The strength of the Flying Squirrels the last couple of seasons has clearly been their pitching staff. Their offense wasn't going to score many runs, but that didn't seem to matter since Richmond hurlers have been among the best in the Eastern League four of the last five seasons. I don't believe 2016 will be much different either as High-A San Jose boasted the best pitching staff in the California League last season. Expectations for this team have to include a playoff berth or at the very least in the chase up until the last weekend like this past season.

Imagine this: You're finally headed to the beach on vacation with your family. It's been a hard year and you've been looking forward to this for months. The weather is sunny, mild, cloudless; you're happily driving along secure in the knowledge that for once, you haven't forgotten anything.
The day is right out of America the Beautiful. The kids aren't fighting and the report for the coming week calls for clear skies and warm oceans. You got an incredibly deal on a house right on the beach. Life is good.
Far down the road you see a growing speck approaching fast. The speck grows and grows and you can see it is in the very middle of the road, straddling the twin yellow lines. It's a huge Trump & Co. trash truck! It's heading right at you! You honk your horn but the driver of the truck takes no notice! The Trump truck is going 90 miles per hour, and now the driver is blowing his air horn, a deafening noise! At the last possible instant, you swerve onto the shoulder. Your car begins to spin and you steer into it like you're supposed to. You feel the nifty Thule Roof Box that makes your SUV look so sporty detach and fly off, and all the other stuff on the roof-rack—the kayaks and the bicycles and the box full of groceries—are flung off. You struggle to control your vehicle and only your above-average driving skills save your life and those of your loved ones. Your dog, a moment ago sleeping on the passenger side floor, is now wide awake and howling.
"I think it was a Trump truck," you reply, knowing it was a Trump truck. The weird orange paint is a dead giveaway, and you've heard of situations like this, where Trump vehicles have disregarded all the traffic laws and rules that keep us alive. Hundreds have died, thousands have been dispossessed.
Your spouse is sweet but on occasion not that bright.
"L'Amérique is an utterly compelling, enjoyable read. The story of a French family's transition from the deprivations of post war Paris to the squeaky clean world of suburban Washington DC is seen through the sharp if occasionally bemused eyes of a growing boy." Jane Feather, New York Times Bestzselling Author of The Blackwater Brides series.


After all of the cheer and madness of the winter holidays, it's easy to feel sort of… bereft in January. But fear not the long, gray winter! The most glorious season of all is here: Girl Scout Cookie Season. What is the cost of Girl Scout Cookies in 2017? That's a little bit tricky to answer, as it depends on where you live and what you buy, but it'll probably be somewhere around $4 to $5 per box.
The reason that I can't give you a definitive answer is that the prices of Girl Scout Cookies are set by local Girl Scout Councils. These 112 councils decide on prices based on the market in their regions, availability, ingredients, and costs of shipping. In February of 2015, most councils raised their prices from $3.50 to $4.00, according to MONEY, but some groups went further that year, with Girl Scout councils in California and Eastern Massachusetts causing a stir when they raised their prices to $5 per box, a 25 percent increase. MONEY reports that other regions may follow suit this year; the council in Southern Arizona, for example, has recently announced a price increase to $5.

In total on the block, four trees lost limbs. "The East Fifth St. Tree Committee is devastated," a committee member said via email.
The trees look so green for this time of year. It was a hot humid year, wonder if that had anything to do with the current state of foliage.
I was out last night and it one block after another filled with fallen trees. What a nightmare.
Yes, that had everything to do with it. Before a heavy snow -- wet, especially, like Thursday's -- trees that have not shed their leave bear the blunt of the weight.
Union Square was cordoned off this a.m. with police tape. Many branches and some trees down.
That's a great deal of fallen trees. I am glad no one was hurt by falling branches.

As a fan of opening sequence and title frames I wanted to do a practice project around them. I challenged myself of coming up with an original title frame for 100 different movies. I try to stick to the movie's overall art direction while adding my take on it. I'll try to update this page as often as possible.

With the exception of the bond sell-off yesterday, the markets behaved reasonably well – even in thin summer trading. This comes after Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart's comments that the Fed is poised to raise rates. Today, we saw a mixed Asian session for equities with both the Nikkei and HSI ending with small gains (+0.45%) whilst the volatile Shanghai closed down 61pts (-1.62%) despite numerous attempts to close in the positive territory. However, the picture was not the same in Europe where all core markets finished with 1%+ gains.
Commodities felt the weight of selling again; as we approached the close, gold was still holding 1080 on a closing basis at 4 PM. Silver was performing, holding an unchanged session, while Crude Oil (TWI) traded heavy all day and was last quoted -1.2% at $45.19; Brent was again under $50 with last trade at $49.71. The development of electric and solar powered cars that produce more energy than they use will cause the energy market to continue to shrink in the long-term. This will prompt states and provinces to shift taxation from gasoline to the numbers of miles driven per year — the coming mileage tax.
There was not very much movement in the core currencies (+/- 0.25%) but the Russian rouble was hit again, last trading down at 63.45 (-1%) with Crude Oil being the main selling excuse.
Yesterday's Treasury market sell-off continued with curve steepening, which has been the main talking point. The 2yrs were off 4bp whilst 10yrs lost 7bp; the 10yr TY/RX spread was last seen at 152bp.
In Europe BTP's traded lower but the spread to Germany tightened around 4bp.
Tomorrow the UK Gilt market will be the focus of attention, as we will see the rate announcement, the minutes of the MPC meeting, and the quarterly inflation report.

Biografia

Carriera
Colin Vearncombe esordì nell'ambiente punk rock e raggiunse l'apice del successo alla fine degli anni '80.

La sua prima pubblicazione risale al singolo Human Features della Rox Records nel 1981. A quel tempo Black era in un gruppo composto anche da Dane Goulding (già Blazetroopers) come bassista e un altro compagno di scuola alla batteria. Il singolo fu seguito nel 1982 da More Than the Sun. In quell'occasione strinse amicizia con Dave "Dix" Dickie dei Last Chant e firmarono assieme il contratto con la WEA Records. La più famosa delle sue canzoni è Wonderful Life, pubblicata col suo nome d'arte nel 1985; raggiunse la popolarità solo due anni dopo, nel 1987. In seguito l'artista incise alcuni dischi col suo vero nome.

Morte
Il 10 gennaio 2016 Black venne coinvolto in un incidente automobilistico vicino all'aeroporto di Cork, in Irlanda, dove risiedeva da diversi anni, e posto in coma indotto per le gravi lesioni cerebrali. Vearncombe morì successivamente nel reparto di terapia intensiva del Cork University Hospital il 26 gennaio all'età di 53 anni. Lasciò la moglie e tre figli maschi, Marius, Max e Milan. Fu cremato il 4 febbraio.

Questions and answers with N.H. Economic Relief and Recovery director
New Hampshire Banking Commissioner Jerry Little. Jodie Andruskevich—Granite State News Collaborative
By JEFF FEINGOLD
N.H. Business Review
Published: 5/4/2020 10:58:30 AM
Jerry Little, the state's banking commissioner since 2016, was recently appointed by Gov. Chris Sununu to head up the Governor's Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery, or GOFERR, which is tasked with figuring out how to distribute the $1.25 billion that New Hampshire has been given under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, Act.
Q. The CARES Act allocates $1.25 billion to New Hampshire while two prior acts also distributed money to the states, and Congress is currently considering another tranche of funding for the states. About how big do you expect GOFERR's bankroll to be?
A. GOFERR was established to allocate and distribute the funding provided to the state under the CARES Act totaling $1.25 billion. Additional funding available to New Hampshire may be from alternate sources and would not fall under the GOFERR'S authority to distribute.
Q. Money from Washington always comes with strings. What, if any, restrictions will limit how these funds can be used? The governor has said the funds cannot be applied to the state budget. Does this mean the money must all be distributed to the private sector, including nonprofit organizations?
A. We received guidance from the federal government on April 22 that provides the framework for how this funding may be disbursed. Generally, these funds can be used to address expenses that are directly attributable to the Covid-19 public health crisis.
GOFERR has initial guidance that was provided in the CARES Act, which states that the funds may be used for expenses that: are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to Covid–19; were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of the date of enactment of this section for the state or government; and were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on Dec. 30, 2020.
Q. The funds must be spent by the end of the calendar year. Does this mean they will be applied to one-time expenditures rather than long-term investments?
A. Funding must be disbursed by Dec. 30, 2020. We are working to determine if this will come in the form of grants or loans or a combination of the two. We continue to work with the legislative and stakeholder advisory boards to develop a comprehensive plan for distribution.
Q. The federal government is already providing some financial assistance to both employers and employees through the Small Business Administration and Department of Employment Security. What outstanding needs do you expect GOFERR to address?
A. We must adhere to the instructions laid out in the federal guidance, which allows funding to be provided to any business or nonprofit organization that would qualify under their specified terms. We also will consider the input from the advisory boards and our objective of providing timely disbursements that will have the greatest effect in communities across the state.
In addition, GOFERR has held public meetings with both the legislative advisory and stakeholder advisory boards to hear from impacted industries and communities regarding their immediate needs and the ongoing impact their response to the Covid-19 pandemic will have. Meetings of these boards will continue, and we are listening closely to the people of New Hampshire in our communities, those providing essential services as well as businesses large and small to identify the social and economic impacts Covid-19 has had on our state today and looking forward.
Q. Do you foresee opportunities to increase the impact of these additional funds by leveraging them against programs already underway at the Business Finance Authority, Community Development Finance Authority or other agencies?
A. As we continue to work with stakeholders, we expect to identify the most effective options for transparent and expeditious allocation of these resources. At this point, we are considering a variety of mechanisms for distributing these funds, including working with the organizations you reference.
Q. The poorest among us are always hit hardest by economic disruption. Although the federal government has extended the eligibility and waived the work requirement for TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) it has not increased benefits. Should the state consider drawing from these funds to pick up some of the slack?
A. Our focus continues to be how we can best allocate and distribute the CARES Act funding, which may include opportunities to support public resources available at the state level.
Q. In addition to providing immediate relief, do you expect to fund measures like testing and contact tracing that will be required to reopen the economy?
A. We are considering a variety of options, and at this time, GOFERR has not made any final determinations on how, specifically, this funding will be utilized. If an entity like a town or healthcare provider was going to conduct additional testing and investigations, the costs of that work are certainly something that could be considered. At the same time, we want to be sure that we don't expend CARES Act funds on expenses that would otherwise be reimbursed by FEMA disaster relief programs.

Home News Research & Innovation News Healing from the COVID-19 pandemic with community diagnostic centres
Healing from the COVID-19 pandemic with community diagnostic centres
With mounting pressure on NHS services, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peter Harrison, Managing Director of Siemens Healthineers GB&I, outlines the benefits of community diagnostic centres as a scalable solution to diagnostic care.
The UK's National Health Service has been under significant pressure for some time, with the need for major expansion of diagnostic capacity identified before the COVID-19 pandemic. As the impact of COVID-19 continues to unfold, the backlog of care in England sits at its greatest point in 20 years.1 Inspired by Professor Sir Mike Richards', Diagnostics: Recovery and Renewal report, integrated care systems and hospital groups across the country are seeking to establish scalable, digitally-enabled community diagnostic centres (CDCs). These highly productive elective diagnostic centres will support the relocation of diagnostic services for cancer, cardiac, respiratory, and other conditions away from acute hospital sites – improving efficiency to help meet NHS Long Term Plan priorities.
Health system challenges
Ahead of the first cases of COVID-19 in the UK, a marked increase in breaches of the six-week diagnostic standard and outsourcing of imaging were indicators of a growing problem for the NHS.2 Demand for diagnostic services had risen rapidly over the five years preceding the Recovery and Renewal report, and new commitments from the UK government to diagnose three-quarters of cancers at an early stage by 2028 demanded reform.2,3
In comparison to other OECD countries, England lags far behind the average for diagnostic scanners per million population, and with demand for diagnostics rising faster than that for NHS services as a whole, the need for major expansion is clear.4 Significant investment in equipment is a key component of the Recovery and Renewal report which recommends a 100% expansion of CT capacity, in addition to expansion of MRI, PET-CT, X-ray, ultrasound and DEXA scanning facilities in line with pre-pandemic growth rates.5
The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated existing challenges, with infection control measures and the ongoing diversion of resources lying heavily on the shoulders of the NHS. The case for change becomes increasingly urgent as the backlog of examinations generated by COVID-19 grows.
Burgeoning diagnostic demand
The long-term impact of COVID-19 on the NHS, and its patients, remains to be seen. The temporary suspension of the national bowel, breast, and cervical screening programmes, and the three million people who did not receive invites to these services, is just one example of pent-up diagnostic demand that is likely to cause capacity challenges post-pandemic.6
Although progress is being made to reduce waiting lists, the number of patients waiting more than a year for treatment is 280 times the number in June 2019.7 The Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned a significant hidden backlog of patients is yet to come forward for treatment, perhaps due to concern over COVID-19 infection or conditions that are yet to be identified. The return of just two-thirds of these 'missing patients' could lead waiting lists to exceed 13 million.8
Fear of visiting A&E or primary care providers is expected to have prevented patients from accessing care, evidenced by requests for diagnostics reducing during the peak of the pandemic.9 Public Health England has worked alongside the NHS to provide reassurance to both patients and staff, with the introduction of COVID-19 specific infection prevention and control (IPC) measures.
New recommendations for primary and community healthcare providers are amongst an archive of IPC guidance including recommendations for the use of personal protective equipment, social distancing, optimal hand hygiene, surface decontamination and ventilation.10 Whilst requests for diagnostics are now rising, throughput is reduced by the time taken to implement these comprehensive IPC measures.9
Fortifying diagnostic provision
The spirit of innovation escalated by the pandemic has shown how rapidly the workforce can adapt, and there is a drive to extend this to the reformation of diagnostic provision. In the NHS-commissioned, Diagnostics: Recovery and Renewal report, Professor Sir Mike Richards details recommendations to enable the fulfilment of NHS Long Term Plan priorities. The rapid and widespread introduction of scalable, digitally-enabled community diagnostic centres is at the heart of recommendations to drive efficiency and improve service provision in the UK by supporting the division of acute and elective diagnostics.
Community diagnostic centres could tackle health inequalities and drive population health outcomes, providing quicker and more convenient access to testing, whilst improving patient experiences of the diagnostic process. The development of integrated, symptom-based pathways should be agreed upon between primary and secondary care, implementing learning from changes made as a result of COVID-19. Following the successful introduction of virtual consultations at the peak of the pandemic, many elective diagnostic tests requested by GPs or specialists could be made virtually, with tests accommodated in community diagnostic centres.
IT connectivity will form an integral part of the transformation of these services, with areas such as imaging, echocardiology and endoscopy identified as those that could benefit from enhanced digitalisation. At a granular level, this should include technological advancements such as AI to support diagnosis and the planning of care. At the broader level, this encompasses the CDC IT infrastructure at large.
COVID-19 minimal community diagnostics
At the centre of the initiative to introduce community diagnostic centres is the aim to reduce footfall at acute hospital sites. New capacity afforded by the community diagnostic centres will allow the NHS to separate elective and urgent diagnostic streams, thereby protecting elective capacity when these services come under pressure. Moving elective diagnostics into a COVID-19 minimal community setting could tackle some of the barriers to care apparent as a result of the pandemic. Patients will be able to attend screening or diagnostic appointments in locations convenient for them and with reduced risk of infection.
It has been recommended these centres should be separate from locations serving COVID-19 patients. Where co-located, separate entrances and staff should minimise transmission of the virus and appropriate cleaning and PPE regimens should be in place. Additional guidance for infection prevention should be followed, including regular testing for clinical staff, patient testing and temperature checks before appointment attendance.11
Siting these services in a COVID-19 minimal CDC can help protect service continuity for examinations deemed high-risk for COVID-19 transmission, preventing delays to diagnosis and reducing waiting times to receive these tests. At the peak of the pandemic, CT and MRI services were drastically impacted by the time taken to implement enhanced cleaning protocols between patients where the COVID-19 status was unknown. This led to reduced throughput and the number of patients waiting more than six weeks for diagnostics growing significantly following the onset of the pandemic – undoubtedly contributing to the looming backlogs the NHS faces today.2
Community diagnostic centres are not only predicted to play an important role in diagnosis but also the monitoring of long-term health conditions. Patients with this kind of condition could be asked to attend outpatient appointments for check-ups or blood tests regularly. The provision of these services in a community setting could boost attendance rates and improve experiences with one-stop offerings and more convenient access. The relocation to a COVID-19 minimal CDC would also remove the need for visits to acute hospital sites, reducing the risk of infection for patients who are more likely to be considered vulnerable to COVID-19.
Realising the vision for reform
The NHS has withstood the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic despite fundamental issues around capacity and service provision prior to the COVID-19 crisis. The full impact of this is yet to be seen, however, there is no doubt that the pandemic will have a lasting effect. The cessation of non-COVID-19 services in the first wave, combined with drastic changes in patient behaviour, have led to a growing backlog of care predicted to take years to overcome.1
Whilst the pandemic has waiting lists at a record high, the lessons learned offer some hope.7 COVID-19 has radically changed approaches to the provision of care, with some changes previously considered impossible, achieved in weeks in the face of the crisis. Carrying this approach forward will be key to the NHS' recovery, with the implementation of COVID-19 minimal community diagnostic centres essential to helping deliver the efficiencies required to clear the backlog of examinations and meet growing demands for diagnostic services.
Community diagnostic centres could offer countless operational benefits, creating a sustainable, efficient and digitally-enabled diagnostics service fortified to withstand the evolving pressures the NHS faces. It is essential that we embrace the learnings of the pandemic, and the opportunity for change, to ensure its legacy is one of transformation.

Let's now step over to your pond. That Green Darner protecting its territory above the water is capable of devouring 600 mosquitoes a day. Hence his nickname, Mosquito Hawk. It's one of the largest U.S. pond dragonflies and, from an insect's standpoint, not to be messed with. It patrols its territory with zeal and lethality. An aerial acrobat, it can hover, turn on a dime at high speeds and fly at 35 (some report 55) miles per hour. It's harmless to humans, but insects best beware.
The Green Darner hasn't always been aloft. It started its life in water, when its mother deposited its egg on the stem of an aquatic plant, just below the surface of the water. Two weeks later it hatched in the water, looking nothing at all like a dragonfly. Brown and wingless, with bulbous eyes and a pudgy abdomen, soon it was hiding in vegetation and ambushing small aquatic insects that passed by. Over the course of time, it outgrew its skin and had to shed it 10 to 14 times before it reached adult size. Except for the final time, it did this all underwater, spending its entire first year there, riding out the winter's killing freezes by staying at the muddy, but warmer, bottom.
As the next spring slowly emerged, the young dragonfly did, too. Day by day, it moved closer to the water's surface until there came a day when its head and upper body rose above it. It clung to a water plant for the next two days before climbing the rest of the way out. After that, something magic happened! First, its skin swelled and split open. Then its entire body popped out, transformed into the flying creature we can identify now as a dragonfly.
Between late July and mid-October, with a peak in September, huge swarms of Green Darners and other dragonfly species — sometimes numbering millions of individuals — migrate along lakeshores and seacoasts. Dragonflies and birds have several migratory similarities, which include resting in the same places and following the same landmarks. Unlike birds, however, dragonfly trips are always one-way, with the offspring making the return trip.
In the insect-rich habitat of your yard, dragonflies aren't the only voracious predators. Remember the ladybug we saw in the flower garden? There are about 400 species of ladybugs in the U.S. To entomologists, ladybugs are "ladybird beetles." Some are named for the number of spots on their elytra (hard-surfaced covers that fold over the back, protecting the underlying fragile wings), making it easy to identify them as to species. For instance, the Seven-spotted ladybug has seven black spots on its elytra. The Two-spotted Lady Beetle has two spots. The fifteen-spotted has, yes, 15 spots.
The ladybug is a rare example of an insect we think is cute — tiny, shiny, colorful and harmless to humans. It's hard to believe these insects can be another insect's greatest nightmare. It turns out there's nothing lady-like about this beetle, and the "lady" bug is sometimes a "he." Ladybugs feed voraciously on scale insects, thrips, fruit flies, spider mites, mealybugs, whiteflies and just about anything else small enough for them to overwhelm. Our plants love ladybugs — each can consume up to 50 or more aphids a day. Ladybug larvae (the immature form that hatches from the egg) look something like tiny alligators, and they're as deadly as their parents, chowing down on as many as 25 aphids a day.
Ladybugs are in the envious position of being predators that are not often preyed on themselves. In the insect world, that's a charmed existence. They're toxic to most small predators, and they also can emit an oily, distasteful fluid from their joints that repels predators (including humans, if we handle them too roughly).
Harvestmen can be smelly, too. Only instead of coming from their joints, a liquid that smells something like walnuts or horseradish gets emitted through the pores on each side of their body. Humans don't detect it much, but toads and birds, which are among their enemies, are repelled.
Harvestmen like darkness and humidity, so look under fallen logs or at the base of tree trunks. They like doing their work at night, although they have been known to be out and about in the daytime. They're not only predators of insects, but scavengers who also enjoy a meal of fruit, veggies, fungi, bird dung and decaying carcasses.
Harvestmen are not insects. They belong to the same scientific class as spiders, but to a different order. You probably know them as "daddy longlegs," for their exceptionally long legs on a small body. Confusingly, there are species of spiders with very long legs that are also called daddy longlegs. What separates the two is that spiders have a "waist," produce silk and have fangs, while Harvestmen lack all three features. One of the Harvestmen species is noted for congregating en masse (hundreds, sometimes thousands) in dark, humid places, their legs all a-tangle.
Harvestmen are not dangerous to humans, and your garden is benefiting from them. (The "daddy longlegs" you recently saw living in your house is almost certainly a spider, because harvestmen prefer the outdoors.) Harvestmen are mostly nocturnal, but you might occasionally see them about in the daytime.
Another nocturnal species is one you know well — the firefly, or lightning bug. They rest on foliage in the daytime. It's when the sun goes down, of course, that we see them strutting their stuff. Their "fire" isn't fire and their "lightning" isn't that, either. Not only that, but they also aren't "bugs" or flies! Who named these guys?
Fireflies are beetles. The adults, heralds of early summer so welcomed by children of yesteryear, use flashing light as a means of communication. The light results from a chemical reaction in their abdomen and can be controlled by them very precisely. Fireflies of different species flash distinctly different patterns of light.
Many neighborhoods have all but lost their fireflies because of soil degradation, pesticide use and the disappearance of surface water. Some people haven't seen a firefly since childhood. But at night, a healthy, wildlife-friendly yard is like a giant, twinkling Christmas tree, with hundreds of friendly lights — off and on, off and on, from the ground to the tops of trees.
Some of the flashes are from males, who are fluttering around trying to catch the eye of a female — "I'm over here, look at me, look at me!" The females, dignified and sedate, sit on vegetation, watching the hopefuls beg for attention. When a female sees a flasher she likes and she's ready to mate, she responds with a flirty flash of her own. With this, the couple dialogues via flashes and courtship ensues, the male drawing closer and closer. Finally, they meet and their brief romance is consummated.
The female lays softly glowing eggs, from which glowing, hungry caterpillars hatch. The caterpillars feed on slugs and snails, as well as earthworms, dead animals and other organic matter. This makes them welcome residents of our gardens. They will overwinter and next year emerge as flying, blinking adults to brighten your child's summer evening.

Civil Rights Training
Civil Rights are Everyone's Rights
Civil Rights is the term used to describe the advancement of equality for all people regardless of race, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion, or certain other characteristics. Historically, the "Civil Rights Movement" referred to efforts toward achieving true equality for African Americans in all facets of society.
Protecting civil rights is an essential part of the democratic values of the United States. Civil rights are an expansive and significant set of rights that are designed to protect individuals from unfair treatment; they are the rights of individuals to receive equal treatment in a number of settings -- including education, employment, housing, public accommodations, and more -- and are based on certain legally-protected characteristics.
EFAP/USDA Program Partner Site Requirements
In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Policy Memorandum Policy No. FD-113, it is prohibited to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion or political beliefs. TEFAP (aka USDA) programs are to ensure that benefits are made available to all eligible people in a non-discriminatory manner. USDA Food Commodities are considered federal funding based upon the value of the monetary value of the commodities, hence all sub-recipient partner organizations receiving these commodities are required to demonstrate compliance with federal civil rights requirements.
Training Requirement Overview
All partner agencies are required to provide a mandatory civil rights training for site staff and volunteers delivering services to clients, and this training must be conducted annually for each site staff and/or volunteer. Upon completion of civil rights training, a "Certificate of Completion' will be kept on file at each partner site for every trainee for a period of 3-years. Hence, an individual that has volunteered at a distribution for the 3-consecutive years should have 3 civil rights 'Certificate of Completions' on file- 1 certificate for each of the 3-years that person has been involved with the program.
The site director/coordinator will keep their certificate on file in their resource binder and upload or forward a copy to CAPSBC each year.
CAPSBC has developed partner site resources and a system for documenting and responding to client complaints on the basis of perceived or actual discrimination. In the event of a potential client civil rights complaint, forward the completed 'Civil Rights Complaint Form' to CAPSBC immediately. Each partner organization is issued a 'Civil Rights Policy, Training, and Resource' binder upon completion of the site coordinator/director training. You can download additional or replacement forms below. Please note that the document number corresponds to the index tab number in your resource binder.

Michelangelo Paintings Sculpture Architecture
Auteur(s) Ludwig Goldscheider
Taal Engels
Bindwijze Paperback
Formaat (h x b x d) 30.4 x 22.4 cm
Uitgever Phaidon
Volledige titel: Michelangelo. Paintings, Sculptures, Architecture
A classic piece of literature on the work and life of Michelangelo.
First published in 1953, this book remains a classic piece of literature on the work and life of Michelangelo (1475-1564). It continues to be the only volume to contain illustrations of all his paintings, sculpture and architecture.
The book is designed to serve both the student and the art lover: the fine quality reproductions emphatically illustrate Michelangelo's genius, while the text surveys the ideas and theses of the world's leading scholars on the painting, sculpture and architecture of Michelangelo and provides a detailed and sophisticated commentary with extensive bibliographical notes.
The exhaustive selection of plates devoted to the paintings of the Sistine Chapel provides an invaluable record of their condition before the recent controversial cleaning, while ten colour plates show some of the paintings in their restored state, offering the works to the reader's eye for close discrimination.
"The book yields a stimulating overall view of Michelangelo's religious and artistic journey, full of terribilità and beauty, which is enriched and enlivened by the messages from easily missed details, including ornamental marks, significant expressions and expressive gestures."
Over de auteur:
Ludwig Goldscheider (1896-1973) was a distinguished art historian and book designer, and co-founder of Phaidon Press in Vienna in 1923.

Roof skylights fill rooms with natural light, fresh air, and are invariably more uplifting to your spirits. Daylight from a skylight transforms conventional rooms into comfortable living areas that add value and quality to your home and life.
There are many types and sizes of skylights. So to simplify, there are 5 basic types of skylights and 2 common installations. In most cases, you'll find a residential skylight on a pitched roof and a commercial skylight on a flat roof. The five basic types of skylights are fixed, venting, roof windows, sun tunnels, and architectural, while the common applications are either deck or curb mounted. Fixed skylights are an economical choice for visually expanding areas such as hallways, stairwells, and other close d-in dark spaces.
Vented skylights are available in both manual and electrical styles. The manual unit is operated with either a hand crank or extension pole, while the electrical or motorized skylight is usually operated via a remote control or wall mounted switch. A venting skylight brings in natural light and fresh air into the home. Installing skylights of this type also contributes to a home's proper moisture balance and comfort level by allowing stale, humid air to be released.
Roof windows are designed for in-reach applications that require egress emergency escape capabilities. Examples include above-garage bonus rooms, lofts, and finished attic spaces. Roof windows also feature a ventilation flap that allows air circulation when the window is closed.
Sun tunnel skylights (sometimes called solar tube skylights) are ideal for smaller rooms where a view of the outside isn't necessary or may be hard to achieve due to limited window availability.
Lastly, architectural skylights, sometimes called industrial skylights are used in special applications. For example, pyramid style skylights for historical renovations, large skylights for a shopping mall, or a large round skylight found in a hotel atrium.
Deck mounted skylights are most often used on new roofs with good pitch, while curb mounted skylights are used to either replace existing skylight domes, or used as skylights for flat roofs.

Critics Call For Veto Of Massive Education Bill
After lawmakers ignored their calls to vote down a sprawling education bill, opponents of the wide-ranging measure have turned to Gov. Rick Scott as their last hope to stop the proposal from becoming law.
It is not clear when the bill (HB 7069), which covers everything from charter schools and teacher bonuses to school uniforms and sunscreen, will hit Scott's desk. It could be weeks before the Legislature decides to forward the budget-related bill to the governor.
But within hours of its passage Monday night through the Senate by the narrowest possible margin, 20-18, opponents were already beginning to urge Scott to use his veto pen on the measure.
In addition to complaints about individual policy issues in the bill, critics have seized on the fact that the measure — which includes pieces of roughly a dozen separate bills considered during the legislative session — emerged from budget negotiations Friday afternoon.
"Where's the government transparency that the leadership promised this session?" Florida Education Association President Joanne McCall asked in a statement issued by the union demanding a veto. "Floridians expect a fair process, not backroom deal-making."
In a sign that the bill has taken on added political significance, former Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Graham — who's running for governor — also issued a statement calling on Scott to nix the bill, along with the state budget approved before lawmakers ended the session Monday.
"As governor, I will veto any budget or policy that shortchanges our schools in favor of the education industry," Graham said. "I'll cancel the Legislature's summer vacation and demand they start over from scratch. We no longer have time for rhetoric or games."
Many of the social media accounts that railed against the bill as it moved through the Legislature on Monday pushed for a veto. Some organizations were slower to state the next step.
Sen. Bill Montford, a Tallahassee Democrat who also serves as CEO of the Florida Association of District School Superintendents, said Monday night it was too early to say what position his group would take.
"I know the superintendents throughout Florida are very concerned tonight about the budget that we just passed, and rightfully so," Montford said.
But around the same time, some school superintendents — including Duval County's Nikolai Vitti — were calling for a veto.
"Why will Governor Scott veto..because he understands that politically beating up K-12 education does not work for FL," Vitti tweeted.
In some ways, the bill could prove to be an inviting target for Scott. It was pushed by House Speaker Richard Corcoran, a Land O' Lakes Republican who sparred with the governor throughout the session over economic-development incentives and tourism marketing.
But there are also politically popular parts of the bill that could make it difficult for Scott to veto, particularly as he weighs a bid for the U.S. Senate in 2018.
The most notable parts of the legislation were a proposal known as "schools of hope," which would encourage charter schools to locate near academically struggling public schools, and an expansion of the "Best and Brightest" teacher bonus program.
It also moves to limit standardized testing of students in an attempt to answer widespread complaints about the practice and would allow districts to ignore a convoluted and controversial state formula based on those tests when doing teacher evaluations.
Even some lawmakers who reluctantly pushed for the education bill to be approved as a way to appease Corcoran and end the legislative session suggested, not necessarily unfavorably, that a veto from Scott was a real possibility.
"In this case, in my opinion, and my personal choice, is going to be to let him do that — that we'll do what we agreed to do and pass a conference package of all the bills that we have in conference, and then we'll pass it down and let him do his job," said Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater.
Corcoran, perhaps unsurprisingly, said Scott should accept all of the budget-related bills that passed the Legislature.
"If I were governor, I wouldn't veto any of them, no," said Corcoran, considering a run for Scott's office in 2018. "They're not good policy, they're great policy."

"was to give HALF to education…Has that ever happened yet? I sure don't see it."
They sort-of did it for a while, maybe still, but they eliminated much of what they were previously funded by existing revenue sources.
But regarding how money coming into the coffers versus the money in some form reaching education purposes, from
http://naplesherald.com/2016/08/12/florida-lottery-money-really-go-add-math/
Taylor Nash, communications director for the Florida Lottery in Tallahassee breaks those numbers down for us:
*All of this is from Lottery sales, not a taxpayer expense.
64% – Prizes
>>>>>>28% – Educational Enhancement Trust Fund (EETF)<<<<<
5% – Retailers
2% – Vendors
1% – Administrative costs
The Florida Lottery employs 420 employees statewide. In 2015, the Lottery paid $17,853,343 in salaries.
So none of it is listed as diverted to other things. I'm not sure where the money spent to convince people to do foolish things like gambling their heard earned money away is paid from.
It is interesting to think of hidden costs. Money spent on lottery tickets did not buy other things, so we will never know how many businesses went belly-up because of the business it cost them and the businesses which suffered by losing THEM.
Oh well, fools will be fools.

I remember when the "selling point" of having our fine Florida Lottery was to give HALF to education…Has that ever happened yet? I sure don't see it.
