Please let us help you create the perfect diet for your Equine Partner.
Hay is a field crop, whether planted or naturally occurring, which has been cut and dried for storage, usually baled, for later use as livestock feed. It includes alfalfa, oats, wheat, timothy, orchard, bermuda, clover, and most any grass, legume or grain grown to feed livestock the whole plant, stalk and seed. Straw is not considered hay because it is stalks only and not grown for feed since it has no nutritional value. Hay can be loose chopped, baled, pelleted or cubed.
Grass is a plant with thin, long leaves growing from top to bottom and includes cereals and bamboos. So grass hay is a livestock feed, usually baled, excluding legumes like alfalfa and clover.
The word "forage" can be a verb as in "Please turn the animals out into the pasture to forage for themselves." It can also be a noun as in; "Forage should be a horse's primary feed." Forage is how animals eat in the wild. To forage is to find edibles wherever they can be found. Forage also means the roughage, (coarse herb cellulose) or non-concentrated feed that herbivores are designed to live on as their primary diet. Grains, molasses and oils are supplements to forage. Herbivores like horses can survive indefinitely on forage alone, (with water). But if too much grain, molasses or other concentrate is eaten within a short period, it can be fatal or cause other problems.
Alfalfa- is a legume meaning that it is related to beans and clover . It is a trifoliaged plant with blue-ish flowers. It is a high calorie and high calcium forage .The cutting we receive is not consistent but we try to get the best available from our local Imperial Valley. The protein content will vary between 13% and 18% . Alfalfa is the highest in calories per lb of all our forages. It is usually not recommended as a sole forage because it is so rich. Alfalfa also has some advantages in being a stomach soother, and it's coarse stems are valuable roughage for ruminants.
Timothy Hay is a grass hay. It is higher in nutrients and calories than our other grasses. Its color is usually a consistent light green. It is broad long leafed and usually has lots of fuzzy seed heads. It is the preferred forage for rabbits. It's cellular structure is large and digests easily. It is grown in high elevations such in Nevada, Utah and Oregon. The protein content is usually between 9 and 11.5 percent. It is usually the most expensive because of the transportation and because the 1st cutting is the most desirable.
Orchard Hay is a grass hay. It is between Timothy and Bermuda in calorie content. Its color can range from blue-green to brown re-rake. It is a broad leaf for 2nd and 3rd cuttings, or narrow with seed head for the 1st cutting. It is usually a soft grass hay. It's cellular structure is large and digests easily. It is best grown in high elevations like Timothy. The protein content ranges around 5 to 9 percent.
Bermuda Hay is a grass hay. It is the lowest in calorie content. It's a thin, round grass and can be short or long depending on the variety. Its cellular structure is small and tight. It is usually the least expensive grass. It is grown locally in Imperial Valley. The protein content varies between 3 and 7 percent.
We usually do not carry Oat Hay because it is inconsistently available in our area. We do carry Oat Pellets. Oat hay is high in sugar and so tastes good to horses.
We do not carry any mixed hay because they are inconsistent. For example: 1 bale is 20% alfalfa, and 80% Bermuda, the next bale is 60% alfalfa and 40% Bermuda. In this case a sensitive older horse may not be able to accommodate the change in forage without a transition time and could develop abdominal discomfort, known as colic. Horses cannot vomit and so a tummy ache can become deadly. We recommend a combination of hay but mixed at the control of the horse caretaker.
Before we can discuss diet requirements for the "older horse," we first need to determine when a horse is considered to become older. While we typically may think of an older horse as one that is in its teens, the reality is that the genetics of the individual plus how it was cared for during its life will dictate when its nutritional needs begin to shift from that of an adult mature horse to that of a geriatric horse. That point in life may be sooner, or later, for some horses than it is for others. It's also important to remember that aging is a gradual process and doesn't happen overnight.
It's estimated that there are over 700,000 senior horses living in the United States today. It seems as if there was a "horse baby boom" in the mid-to-late 1970s, making 9-11% of the total horse population today older horses. Many of these horses are well into their 20s or 30s, and still live very healthy, active lives due to better care and feeding. The best manner in which to care for older horses is to address their special needs prior to any significant decline in condition or health. As always, your veterinarian plays a key role in helping to ensure the continuing good health and longevity of your horse. Our three main areas of attention include nutrition, management, and health.
– Teeth that are worn or missing make chewing difficult for the horse. Poor dental care can also cause mouth ulcers resulting in pain. Poor teeth contribute to the horse not chewing its food long enough to produce the amount of saliva necessary for proper digestion. Saliva not only contains enzymes important for the digestion of feed, but it also helps to lubricate the esophagus for ease of swallowing. If you notice your horse dropping bits of feed or forage out of its mouth, chances are it's time for a dental check. In addition to making sure that your horse's teeth are in good condition, feeds that are processed and are easy to chew will help the problem. Water can also be added to the feed to make a gruel which will be even more edible for the horse with poor dental condition.
Digestive System- One of the problems with aging is that the motility of the horse's digestive tract becomes compromised. One reason for this reduction in digestive motility may be due to the fact that the horse itself has become less active. However, digestive concerns still can occur in those individuals that remain active even as an older horse. Gas production and impactions can lead to colic symptoms. By feeding smaller meals more frequently, the horse can more easily digest and process its feed. Reducing starch or grain in the diet can be helpful in preventing excess gas and constipation. Increasing the amount of a high quality, easily digestible fiber source may also assist in this regard. As always, offer plenty of clean, fresh water to keep food moving through the system. Consider adding 2 ounces of salt to the horse's diet to stimulate water consumption. Remember, horses prefer tepid water from 45 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. As part of the aging process, the older horse experiences a reduction in digestive efficiency, along with a decline in its ability to absorb nutrients. By feeding a processed feed, as opposed to whole grains, and by fortifying the nutrient levels in that feed, the horse is better able to absorb those nutrients which are made available in its diet. The basic 9 or 10% whole-grain diet that had sufficed in the horse's earlier years simply will not provide adequate nutrition to the now older horse as the necessary nutrients are either not present at all, or are no longer available to the changing geriatric digestive system. Parasite infestation also hinders digestive capabilities, so a proper deworming and parasite control program must always remain paramount in proper maintenance and care of the horse at any age.
Respiratory- Senior horses may begin to experience some respiratory problems in the form of a chronic dry cough. In addition to veterinary help, changes in the feeding program and environment are also necessary. The first step is to reduce dust and allergens. Hay can be one of the culprits here! Feed only high-quality, clean hay and wet it down well with water prior to feeding. Or, eliminate hay from the diet by feeding a complete feed (one that includes forage). This offers a viable option in feeding horses with this condition as it eliminates much of the dust in the diet. Many of these horses will do significantly better if turned out to a grassy pasture.( Obviously, a dry pen turnout that is dusty will only worsen the situation.) Though full-time turnout is preferred, dramatic improvement may be seen if the horse has turnout for most of the day and is stabled at night.
Body Weight – Though some senior horses have a problem with being overweight, it is much more common to see older horses that have a challenge with becoming too thin. Aging tends to result in a reduction in muscle mass, along with difficulty in maintaining adequate weight. As mentioned earlier, the older horse may not absorb nutrients as efficiently as it had been able to do in its younger years, or may be experiencing problems with chewing and digesting. Monitor your horse's BW using the established Body Condition Scoring System, paying special attention to weight over the top line, back and rib cage areas. If your horse is too thin, feed a processed feed that contains high quality, easily digested protein and readily available energy. If the horse is too fat, minimize grain intake to control calories, yet still assure that proper protein, along with correct vitamin and mineral balance, is being maintained.
Hair and Skin – An inadequate diet is often to blame for problems with hair, skin, and hooves in horses of all ages, but is especially evident in the older horse. Regular brushing and a good nutrition program will contribute greatly to resolving these conditions. Nutrients such as protein, essential fatty acids and vitamins are particularly important, and many times are inadequate in a typical diet. Poor haircoat in older horses can sometimes be due to Cushing's disease. Symptoms of Cushing's disease include long haircoats that shed late in the year or in patches, loss in muscle mass and excessive water intake. Consult your veterinarian if you feel your horse may be showing these symptoms. in a study of geriatric horses, over 70% of the horses over 20 years of age showed subclinical signs of pituitary or thyroid dysfunction. These dysfunctions can cause an intolerance to glucose or blood sugar. After a meal high in starch, such as cereal grains, blood levels of glucose and insulin become abnormally high. Horses with Cushing's disease respond to diets that are lower in starch and higher in fat and fiber. With proper veterinary care and nutritional management, these horses can live for years after the appearance of the clinical signs.
Anemia is a reduction in red blood cells and can occur in horses of any age for a variety of reasons. In the older horse, anemia may be the result of poor nutrient utilization, or a decrease in red blood cell production. It can also be associated with heavy infestation of parasites. By providing a palatable, easily digested and balanced feed, the horse will receive and utilize the nutrients essential to its good health. In some situations, an extra bloodbuilding nutrient may be recommended by the veterinarian. In summary, our large population of older horses can continue to provide us with joy and entertainment for many, many years provided that we, as their caretakers, are aware of their changing needs and make certain that we do whatever we can to provide them with the best care possible in their golden years.

Q: Add class to the closest element in a loop Thing is I am having a Facebook like button (created with the API not the regular one) inside each of the elements, and needs to check its status before I can add class "liked" or "unliked". So all the div's with class "item" is created in a PHP loop. And also I understand its not good to run the script several times in a loop. But I need to get further in the testings here :)

A: Not sure if this is what you're asking for or not.
$('.item').each(function(){
    $(this).find('.like_button').addClass('liked');
});

A: I think what you looking for is
$('.item .like_button').addClass('liked');

The Why Axis
Disadvantaged Distance Learning: 30% of K-12 Students Lack Adequate Internet Access
Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of young students are still without the basic requirements needed to access online learning tools.
By Jason Cohen
https://www.pcmag.com/news/disadvantaged-distance-learning-30-of-k-12-students-lack-adequate-internet
COVID-19 has forced school closures over the last two years and pushed 50 million K-12 public school students into remote learning in the US. But even now, a significant portion of those students have been stranded on the wrong side of the digital divide.
For distance learning to work, students must have adequate access to both internet services and internet-capable devices. Unfortunately, Common Sense Media's Distance Learning report(Opens in a new window) shows that roughly 30% of K-12 students are without one or both of those requirements.
That's 15 to 16 million children without access to online learning tools. Of that, about 5 to 6 million students are without an adequate internet connection, and 1 million don't have proper remote learning devices. About 9 million are "fully disconnected," Common Sense Media says.
Where are these digitally divided students? About 37% of rural students are without adequate connectivity, compared with 21% of urban kids and 25% of suburban kids. By ethnicity, 26% of Latinx, 30% of Black, and 35% of Native American students are without connections, compared to just 18% of White children.
Texas and California each have more than 1.5 million students without access, but states in the US South have the highest proportion of students unable to access online learning tools. Common Sense Media's report shows that 50% of Mississippi students are without access, the highest percentage in the country. Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and West Virginia follow.

Lessons to Learn: 11 Practical Tips for Successful Schooling at Home
Just How Bad Is the Digital Divide Where You Live?
By comparing the percentage of students without adequate internet connection to the percentage of students without adequate devices, it was determined that the largest digital divides exist in Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, in that order. For the states with the largest divides, half of students are without the internet access they need for distance learning.
The smallest divides exist in California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington. Even so, one in four students still lack internet in those states.

COMPETES Act: The House Science Committee's Controversial Bill
11 May 2015 12 May 2015 / raminskibba
Two weeks ago, the United States House Science Committee, chaired by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), passed the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act (H.R. 1806) along party lines. Originally authored by Bart Gordon (D-TN) in 2007 to improve the US's competitiveness and innovation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, it contributed substantial funding to research and activities in federal agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). (In a previous post, I was hopeful about the passage of an earlier version of the bill.) Its current version, however, includes contentious cuts to NSF and DOE research programs, and it now proceeds to the House floor.
Although the President's Budget Request for fiscal year 2016 includes small increases for the NSF, DOE Office of Science, and NIST, the new COMPETES Act, if passed in its current version, would shift funding away from research in the social sciences, geosciences, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and biological and environmental research. In other words, federally funded research in some science fields would gain more support at the expense of these fields, whose funding would be cut by 10-50%. In particular, the bill would severely narrow the scope of NSF research and scientific facilities in the social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) and geoscience (GEO) directorates and would reduce the DOE's basic and applied research programs in climate change and the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E).
I suppose it could be worse. Lamar Smith's earlier version included attacks and interference in the NSF's scientific peer-review process (which I discussed in
this post in March), and he made a small concession by removing such language from the bill.
Clearly not happy with the COMPETES Act, scientists of all stripes continue to voice their opposition. While the House Science Committee's Republican majority rejected one Democratic amendment after another, 32 scientific agencies submitted official letters for the record describing their concerns. (These agencies include the American Physical Society and American Institute of Physics, of which I am a member.) Moreover, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)—the US's premier scientific society—submitted a letter as well, pointing out that H.R. 1806 violates its own Guiding Principles. The letter also states, "NSF is unique among federal agencies in that it supports a balanced portfolio of basic research in all disciplines, using the scientific peer review system as the foundation for awarding research grants based on merit."
In my opinion, the COMPETES Reauthorization Act needs serious revision so that scientists in all fields, including the social sciences and geosciences, may continue their work at an internationally respected level. This would certainly make the US more competitive in science and would aid people seeking STEM careers. If the bill's proponents will not allow these necessary improvements to be made, then the bill should be rejected.

Thomas Hook
PILOT THOMAS HOOK JOINED VIRGIN BALLOON FLIGHTS AT THE START OF THE 2019 FLYING SEASON, HAVING FLOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD BY THE TIME HE REACHED HIS MID 20S.
"EVERY TIME I FLY IT IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE AND EACH FLIGHT TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY."
Tom spent his whole childhood around hot air balloons, with his parents crewing for many pilots and when Tom grew up, he decided to begin training for his own balloon licence at the age of 19.
Just a few months after getting his licence, Tom qualified for the junior British team and went on to compete at the Junior World Championships in 2016.
Tom has now piloted 27 different balloons, flown in 12 different countries and is currently representing Great Britain at the European Championships later in 2019 flying his racing balloon.
Special flights include the Great British Long jump in October 2018, where he flew 186 miles in a single flight over 8.5 hours. He also flew over the English Channel in June 2017.
"The most enjoyable part for me is watching the world go by as you drift across the sky, everything is so calm," said Tom.
"Sharing the experience with other people is one of the most rewarding experiences of all."
Asides from flying passengers, Tom enjoys competition ballooning, flying to targets and dropping sand bags known as 'markers' as close as possible to score points.
His other passions are focused around sports and the great outdoors. A keen rower, runner and basketball player in previous years, Tom also enjoys walking in the Peak District near his home village, enjoying good food and travelling.
Join Tom and his crew for a an unforgettable flight in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, West and South Yorkshire or Manchester.

The skipper opened the scoring from a corner on six minutes, before Marcus Antonsson followed up his brace against Bury with his fourth goal in three games after good work from Bradley Dack.
Dack then won a penalty, which was duly dispatched by Mulgrew at the midway point in the half.
Jack Payne's strike on the stroke of half time made it an edgy start to the second 45, but rising star Joe Nuttall killed off any hopes of an Oxford comeback with his fifth senior goal of the season on 71 minutes.
Substitute Jonathan Obika grabbed a late consolation for the hosts, but Rovers held firm to secure a vital three points and make it back-to-back away wins.
Tony Mowbray made one change to the side that beat Bury on Saturday, with midfielder Corry Evans returning from suspension in place of Peter Whittingham, who dropped to the bench.
For the hosts, ex-Rovers 'keeper Simon Eastwood started against his former club. The 28-year old spent three years at Ewood Park, appearing just 20 times before making the move to Oxford in the summer of 2016.
In a lively start to the game, a ball to the back post just evaded Wes Thomas, whilst at the other end, Derrick Williams headed narrowly over the bar after Mulgrew's knockback.
Rovers were upping the ante and got their first goal after a sustained period of pressure.
After a number of corners, one finally proved decisive for Mowbray's men as another inswinger from Dack was flicked on by Antonsson and Mulgrew was there to tap home from close range and put the visitors ahead after just six minutes.
Rovers continued to dominate, with the closest Oxford came in the opening 15 minutes was James Henry's looping cross which was caught by David Raya on his goal-line.
Smelling blood, Rovers continued to up the gears and after a mistake from Aaron Martin, Dack nicked the ball off his toes and looked to poke home. Eastwood denied the in-form midfielder, but Antonsson latched onto the rebound and rolled the ball into the empty net.
Rovers were rampant and Mulgrew completed his brace from the spot after Dack was felled in the box by Dwight Tiendalli. The skipper rifled the ball past Eastwood, right into the bottom corner to put Rovers 3-0 up after only 22 minutes and make it a dream start.
The hosts looked for a response and Raya produced a smart stop to deny Payne from pulling a goal back for Pep Clotet's side.
With half-time approaching, the returning Evans fired from range just past Eastwood's post as Rovers looked to extend their advantage under the lights.
And with Rovers seemingly going into the break with their three-goal advantage intact, the hosts did pull a goal back when home dangerman Payne found a yard of space before rifling past Raya via the post from an acute angle to end what was a very entertaining opening 45 minutes.
Mowbray would have expected a strong second half showing from the hosts - particularly in the early stages - and that's what occured as the U's found the net with a header, but the referee awarded Rovers a free-kick for a foul on Raya.
Raya was called into action again just a few minutes later as he was forced to repel a cross from the left from Ricardinho, who almost deceived the Spaniard with a whipped cross.
Rovers were standing tall and strong defensively, but Payne did again test Raya from the edge of the box, but his right-footed strike was pretty comfortable for the Rovers number one on the hour mark.
Substitute Alex Mowatt was brought on for Clotet's men and was immediately involved in the action; his shot drifting wide of Raya's post as the hosts searched to find a way to get back into the game.
Rovers had their first chance of the second half midway through it as Elliott Bennett - on his 50th league start for the club - beat Ricardinho and dinked a ball up to Dack, who could only head over the bar from 10 yards out.
But soon after Rovers did get that fourth goal to kill off any hopes of an Oxford comeback. Again it came via Bennett, who had the beating of Ricardinho and found Nuttall, who scrambled home past the despairing dive of Eastwood.
That took the sting out of any Oxford hopes of taking something from the game, but Raya did have to get down well to react to Obika's prod goalwards.
Xemi Fernandez then smashed a free-kick over the bar with eight minutes to go, before Obika did find a way past Raya when he turned in the box, hit goalwards and saw his effort clip the post and find the back of the net.
But Rovers saw the game out comfortably to cement their place in the play-offs ahead of Saturday's clash with Bristol Rovers at Ewood Park.

The Emergency Management Service of Georgia is asking for the suspension of operation of hotel and casino Welmond in Georgia's Black Sea coastal city Batumi due to the breach of safety and fire norms there.
The agency reports that Welmond, which is former Leogrand hotel, where 11 people died, and more than 20 were injured in November 2017 fire, still has no fire safety systems installed.
The Emergency Management Service gave the hotel administration time until 18:00, August 17 to take the guests and staff out of the building and suspend operation until all the shortcomings are eliminated.
Emergency Management Service reports that this year the specialists conducted monitoring and fire-technical inspection of the hotel and casino three times and issued 43 recommendations, most of which have not been fulfilled yet.
According to the specialists, there is no anti-smoke system in the building, adding if there occurs fire again people will not be able to leave the hotel timely.
The Emergency Management Agency has appealed to the court to suspend the work of the Hotel and Casino Welmond building for the safety of its visitors. The court satisfied the appeal and ordered the suspension of the work of the hotel.
"As soon as the hotel begins to fulfill its obligations, we are ready to support the restoration of the operation of the hotel in the shortest possible time," the statement of the Emergency Management Service reads.
The hotel administration asked the agency to let them operate until the end of the tourist season.
The lawyer of the hotel, Kakhaber Tsereteli says the administration will obey the court ruling, but they request some more time.
"We are asking for temporary exploitation right. It is the middle of the tourist season now, and closure of the hotel will result in a huge financial loss for the administration," the lawyer stated.


When people are opening a business, it is stated that they need to open a business insurance cover for it. If you ever thought of how high the liability risk of a business is, you would not wait for next week to get it an insurance cover. Even as you think of other regulations that require your attention in that business, you need to first see to it that it is properly insured. If you are keen to check on the business insurance, you would realize there are various types one can choose.
If you talked to several business people, you would realize they know a lot about liability insurance as a cover and most of them have it. Whenever you see some business people taking the liability insurance policy, it is because they have various personal properties belonging to the business they would like to cover. Some of the business items you may cover using this policy include office equipment, furniture, and computer among others.
No one knows when they would suffer a major loss of what they have in their business and for this reason, taking a liability policy should mean good to you. Far and above covering your office equipment, the liability policy would go further and offer coverage to anyone who may suffer personal damages while on business duty. It may happen that a customer slips and falls on the wet floor of your grocery and gets injured. If you don't have liability insurance, you may have to pay cash for their medical bills. You would not wish to know how much you would have to pay for emotional distress and physical therapy sessions the injured person may demand.
As a business person, you would also wish to think about the worker's compensation coverage for your business. Don't forget that your employee may suffer injuries when working for you. Some people make mistakes of thinking that those they have employed would not seek legal help once they sustain injuries. It is true that you would find some employees seeking legal help in case they fell and got injured in your business premise. It is to your advantage having the worker's compensation insurance because you won't be forced to give the injured victims all you cash.
Once you have purposed to take a business policy, you would be set for any eventuality that would keep your spirit down. Many insurance companies would claim to provide quality insurance policies but you should first confirm it.No one anticipates that they would encounter any loss in their business, but it happens. Ensure you always pay your premiums on time.

Billionaire Bill Pulte Announces Purchase of 11 BTC and Will Use Twitter for Mass Adoption
Dec 16 2019 · 13:47 UTC by Tolu Ajiboye · 3 min read
Bill Pulte has announced a purchase of 11 BTC. He has also repeatedly expressed his support for crypto and has begun Bitcoin giveaways.
Bitcoin has made many people very rich since it went live and now boasts of more than a few thousand percent in returns on investment (ROI). The crypto's prospects have attracted some of the world's richest people, with many of them holding various amounts of BTC. The latest billionaire to join the trend is popular philanthropist Bill Pulte.
In a recent tweet posted on Thursday, Pulte announced to his more than one million followers that he bought 11 BTC which cost somewhere around $77,000. Although he didn't say at the time whether or not he had bought BTC before, the news about his purchase excited the Twitter crypto community.
I recently bought 11 bitcoins
— Bill Pulte (@pulte) December 12, 2019
Pulte is currently the chief executive officer (CEO) of Pulte Capital Partners, an investment firm based in Michigan in the United States. His grandfather founded PulteGroup (PHM) an Atlanta-based home construction company that has a market cap of $10.9 billion. Pulte is however very popular in circles outside of his current business endeavors because of his Twitter philanthropy.
For more than a few months now, the billionaire has been giving out varying sums of money to random strangers online, as his own act of philanthropy. Pulte also does some of it offline as a few videos of him have circulated, which show him out and about, giving strangers monetary gifts.
Pulte has said repeatedly that he wants to change the world and one of the ways he's doing this is through philanthropy. After several months of cash gifts, Pulte recently said that he will extend his philanthropic efforts, using crypto as a channel. In the tweet, Pulte said:
"Cryptocurrency can help the world's poorest…especially those who are "unbanked"…as a philanthropist, I therefore want to promote adoption. Leave [a] comment [about] why you need Bitcoin and I'll pick one person to send some satoshis to … Yes, this is real."
Apart from choosing to continue doing philanthropy using crypto and also buying 11 bitcoins, Pulte has shown that he is very pro-crypto with a different tweet. In the post, he suggested five things he wants people to do as sort of a new year resolution in 2020. Including teaching people "how to fish" and "advocating for the most vulnerable members of the human family", Pulte says "pushing cryptocurrency onto social media" is a great idea.
Since Twitter is his major way of reaching the public, yet another tweet highlights his strong support of crypto. According to Pulte, "the crypto community is missing out big time [and] if they want mass adoption, they got to give it out on twitter and social media."
It might be important to note here that while the above quote mentions "Bitcoin", his repeated use of the word "crypto" could mean that he might be interested in other assets. Maybe we will see a PulteCoin sometime in the future.

T20 WC: Men in Blue find themselves in must-win territory against Kiwis (Preview)
News Agencies | Updated on: 30 October 2021, 10:17 IST
Team India (Photo/ BCCI Twitter)
After suffering a loss against Pakistan in their opening game of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the Virat Kohli-led side find themselves in a must-win situation against New Zealand.
India and New Zealand will lock horns against each other in the Super 12 stages of the World Cup on Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both sides will come into the contest after suffering a loss against Pakistan.
When it comes to the Indian side, one needs to see how the opening duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will perform having been dismissed cheaply against Pakistan by Shaheen Shah Afridi. The left-arm seamers have always caused troubles for the Indian top-order and the presence of Trent Boult in the Kiwi attack is expected to cause further problems.
When it comes to batting, only Virat Kohli was the bright spot against Pakistan and the Indian skipper has the knack of producing quality knocks under pressure, so once again, it would be Kohli who will be expected to rise to the occasion and change the tide in India's favour.
Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant need to come into their own and the duo need to bring in that X-factor which has helped their respective IPL franchises in the past. The only question regarding the batting order remains whether Ishan Kishan can come into the eleven, but it looks unlikely that someone would be dropped just after one bad game against Pakistan.
India has never defeated New Zealand in the T20 World Cup, but if there was any time for this record to be broken, it is now if the side wants to reach the semi-finals stage.
Hardik Pandya's bowling has been one mystery for a long period, but on Tuesday he did have a bowl in the nets, and he is expected to bowl some overs against New Zealand, and if he bowls some overs against the BlackCaps it will surely ease the nerves of skipper Kohli in terms of giving him another bowling option.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has looked out of sorts in the recently-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) and he was off-colour against Pakistan as well. So one needs to consider Shardul Thakur as he gives another dimension with his batting. Shardul had a knack for picking wickets for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) so he can definitely be looked at for the game against New Zealand.
Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah would be required to up their game if India wants to show a good performance with the ball against New Zealand. Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakravarthy are likely to be persisted with for the game against New Zealand and it needs to be seen whether Ravichandran Ashwin finds a place for himself or not.
Talking about New Zealand, the batting outfit needs to rise to the occasion and back the bowling up. Kane Williamson also needs to find form if the BlackCaps want to leave a mark in this World Cup.
The bowling almost bailed the Kiwis out against Pakistan, however, it needs to be seen whether Adam Milne now comes back into the lineup to further boost the fast-bowling arsenal.
India squad: Virat Kohli (captain), Rohit Sharma (vice-captain), KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul Chahar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Shami.
New Zealand squad: Kane Williamson (capt), Todd Astle, Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Adam Milne, Martin Guptill, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain
Ratchet & Clank Aims to Redefine Movie-Based Games
Jon Ledford
We have never been so impressed by a movie-based game as we have with the new Ratchet & Clank title coming to PS4.
Insomniac Games' tagline for the new Ratchet & Clank on PS4 says it all: "Play the game based on the movie based on the game." Remember that horrible game based on Street Fighter: The Movie that featured live action characters? This new Ratchet & Clank game takes the same approach, but in an excellent way. It's based on the upcoming Hollywood movie which is based on the original game of the series for PlayStation 2. This new PS4 game takes some of the elements and characters from the original 2002 hit game, but steers it all in a completely different direction. Ratchet & Clank (PS4) will rally together Ratchet, Clank, Captain Qwark and a bunch of new allies to take on the nefarious Chairman Drek and stop him from wreaking havoc on the galaxy.
Here's what Insomniac Games' Community Lead James Stevenson said about the project on the PlayStation Blog:
We knew early on that we didn't want to just up-res Ratchet & Clank for PS2. We started out thinking of Ratchet & Clank on PS4 as a "re-imagining" of the 2002 original, revised to tie in with the deeper version of Ratchet's origin story (as seen in the film). We envisioned a curated Ratchet & Clank experience that borrowed from the spirit of the classic PS2 games while infusing some of the best elements from the Ratchet & Clank Future games.
We ended up with a new game, with elements based on the original — but now with modern controls, several new planets, new and updated gameplay segments, all-new Clank gameplay, all new boss fights, new flight sequences, and more… all constructed to take advantage of the graphical prowess of PS4. Throw in James Arnold Taylor as Ratchet, and you have a new beginning.
We have to admit that this trailer looks absolutely stunning. It's hard to tell which portions of the trailer were cutscenes and which were actual gameplay. The gameplay portions featured third-person shooter mechanics, but everything looked so impressive. As always, Insomniac Games knows how to tap into the full potential of PlayStation hardware. In terms of guns, Ratchet & Clank's arsenal mainly features weapons that weren't in the original game, including brand new weapons and a few fan favorites from the entire series.
Ratchet and Clank was expected to hit theaters on April 26, 2016, but both the movie and tie-in PS4 title have been slapped with a Spring 2016 launch window. Pre-ordering the game will get you The Bouncer weapon from Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando.

The LAC believes that adult literacy is one of the greatest drivers of upward mobility in the US. The ability to read, write and speak English is critical to survival and success as a worker, parent and community member, especially in an information rich society such as the United States. Lack of these basic skills prevent many Americans from participating fully in what this country has to offer.

At least since the Millerites were laughed off the national stage in 1844, watching prophecy fail has become something of a national pastime. The attitudes of the two groups—heavenly-minded believer and smirking spectator—are well captured in a pair of bumper stickers: "In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned" and "In case of Rapture, can I have your car?"
But some in the spectator camp hold that America's remarkably durable "rapture culture" is no laughing matter; that it might, in fact, be a menace to society. At issue is end time believers' perceived lack of investment in the earth's future. That is, if they believe Jesus is coming back, do they have any incentive to preserve and protect the environment for future generations?
Many who are concerned about the environment—including prominent figures like Al Gore, E.O. Wilson, and Bill Moyers—argue that for such believers the answer is no.
Although mistrust of end time believers' earthly intentions has smoldered for decades, a new study about "End Times Theology" has added fuel to the fire. According to the study's authors, political scientists David Barker and David Bearce, when it comes to climate change, "a belief in the Second Coming reduces the probability of strongly agreeing that the government should take action by more than 12 percent."
The reason, according to Barker and Bearce, is that while
"non-end-times believers have little reason to doubt humankind's infinite persistence, all else being equal, end-times believers 'know' that life on Earth has a preordained expiration date, no matter what—and that all Christians will be raptured before the going gets too tough."
With 76% of Republicans identifying as end times believers in their sample, they argue that end time belief may be a key factor stymieing climate change legislation.
But as someone who spent 14 months doing interviews and focus groups with conservative Christians on their views about climate change and the end times, I see major problems with their approach.
The study's main flaw is that it measures attitudes toward climate change using a double-barreled question—one that's actually comprised of more than a single question. Barker and Bearce asked respondents to state the degree to which they agreed with the following:
Global warming is a problem that requires immediate government action, in order to prevent environmental devastation and catastrophic loss of life for future generations.
The statement actually contains four parts, each of which could elicit a different level of agreement: global warming is a problem; the government should be the institution to address it; action needs to be immediate; and the reasons for acting are to prevent environmental devastation and catastrophic loss of life.
The authors did acknowledge one shortcoming of the statement; namely, that it does not allow them to distinguish between those who are skeptical that global warming is happening, and those who believe it's happening but do not feel anything should be done about it. Since the latter claim is the one these researchers sought to prove, they controlled for "media distrust," which they argued would be correlated with climate skepticism.
There are, however, at least two other reasons some conservative Christians would disagree with the statement besides their belief in End Times. First, having seen the government "take" prayer out of schools, and "force" the teaching of evolution, the Christians with whom I spoke had an especially negative view of government in general.
As Kelly (a pseudonym, as are all the names that follow) explained in a conversation about the merits of scientific research on climate change,
"I believe the government knows that whoever controls the mind of our children controls the next generation. And so there's reason behind everything that's put out there… I think they try to cause us to fear. And when you fear you want to have someone to trust in."
After which her husband chimed in, "And that would be the government."
As Linda (from another church) put it more succinctly, "Government needs to stay out of it. They screw everything up."
Second, and probably even more importantly, participants in every one of the nine focus groups I conducted had the impression that scientists were saying climate change would precipitate an apocalyptic end to the world, an idea they rejected on the grounds that the Bible—not scientists—foretells how the world will end.
Of course, most scientists are not claiming that climate change will end life on Earth, but the study's use of the word "catastrophic" would likely bring to mind the apocalyptic framing that many if not most of the respondents reject (Wylie Carr and colleagues also noted resistance to the apocalyptic framing in their qualitative study of conservative Christians' views of climate change).
To be sure, conservative Christians are hardly alone in reacting negatively to apocalyptic framings of climate change. Matthew Feinberg and Robb Willer found that dire messages reduced belief in global warming and made people less likely to say they would take action to address the problem. Based on what I heard in the focus groups, however, I surmise that conservative Christians are more bothered by apocalyptic rhetoric than the average citizen. When I consider the comments many of them made about how the Christian worldview was being marginalized, it is apparent that these Christians might see a secular disaster narrative as yet another attempt by secular society to "take God out of the equation" (a refrain I heard frequently).
Thus some Christians may have disagreed with Barker and Bearce's statement because of the word "catastrophic" in this context, rather than because their belief in the end times rendered them indifferent to such a prospect.
In my own research I did find some evidence of apathy about climate change that seemed to be related to end time belief. This only seemed to be the case among those who were truly passionate about the end times, however. In a small-town Pentecostal church I visited, for example, during a Sunday service the pastor painted a vivid picture of a world descending into chaos, listing a coming "holy war" with Iran, Christians being persecuted around the world, the inability to pray in school ("These days you get in trouble if you say 'bless you' when someone sneezes at school!"), and the way society increasingly "exalted the homosexual lifestyle" as signs that the end times were near.
"The Bible says this will happen in the Last Days, before the Rapture. We should expect suffering if the Lord tarries. Jesus Christ is coming back!" he concluded exultantly.
Not surprisingly, when I conducted a focus group at this church, the end times seemed to be on everyone's minds. When we talked about caring for the environment, for example, Craig cautioned that it was important to draw the line between protecting the creation and worshipping it, while Julie agreed, adding that, "like with the polar bears and stuff, of course I don't want them to die, but you also have to realize this is just a part of the world coming to an end like it's supposed to. And there's nothing really that they can do."
After Sarah chimed in "Yeah, we can't stop it," Julie continued, arguing, "That's why we need to be educated in the Bible, so we know what signs to look for. Because you're just wasting all that money on research when it's, sadly, not going to help."
Such views contrasted with those I heard from people who believed that Jesus would return to Earth but did not actually think they were living in the last days. There, I almost invariably heard statements expressing ethical responsibilities vis-à-vis the environment. For example, Jessa pointed out that
"we constantly talk about the end times and as Christians we look forward to that but the Bible didn't tell us to be stupid. When the Bible says if you have faith as the grain of a mustard seed you can move mountains, it didn't literally mean for us to go and start trying to pick up a mountain… [W]henever He tells us that we're going to see these signs of the end times, He doesn't tell us to stop living because the world's coming to an end. He wants us to live for Him every day, and living for Him means taking care of the world, and seeing that the environment is changing, and that we have an effect on that."
In many cases such comments may have reflected ideals more than practices, as I did not see much evidence of dedication to environmental stewardship beyond recycling. But the majority of my respondents rejected the logic that end time belief justified inaction of any kind, pointing out that they still held bank accounts, sent their kids to college, and otherwise planned for the future.
This belies Barker and Bearce's claim that any Christian who agreed to the question "do you believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ—that is, that Jesus will return to Earth someday?" would have been likely to discount the future. From what I saw in the field, people who did not live in the shadow of the Last Days recognized the folly of giving up on this world when it was uncertain when the next one would come.
This highlights another problem with Barker and Bearce's study: it only included two belief-related variables: the one about the second coming of Christ, and another that assessed whether respondents believed the Bible "should be taken literally, word for word." Consequently, the study did not assess how much of the indifference to taking action on climate change might derive from a host of other beliefs.
Perhaps most important to consider is whether suspicion of scientists and scientific research may be spilling over from the creation-evolution debate (as Katharine Wilkinson found in her qualitative study of the evangelical 'climate care' movement). But other beliefs could easily be relevant as well. Many scholars of evangelical environmentalism, for example, have noted evangelicals' concerns that caring for the environment could lead to paganism.
I also frequently heard Christians say that their focus should be salvation and saving souls rather than pursuing a broader social agenda. Others argued that it was arrogant to believe humans could control the climate, since "God is in control." It seems likely that Christians' attitudes toward climate change would be influenced by beliefs such as these, yet none of them were included in Barker and Bearce's study.
In short, my own research and that of others leads me to surmise that had Barker and Bearce adopted a more fine-grained approach, they would likely have found that end time beliefs contributed only modestly to Americans' disinterest in addressing climate change.
Tempting as it may be to blame end time believers for the frustrating lack of action on climate change, if we want to determine whether and to what extent the religious beliefs of Christians shape their views and concerns about the issue, and understand the impact of such perceptions on daily and political life, then we will need more nuanced empirical research into these issues than has, as yet, been produced.

Immortalizing Values Through Education for Sustainable Development
Sheila C. Carter
Education is the primary agent of transformation towards sustainable development, increasing people's capacities to transform their visions for society into reality. Education not only provides scientific and technical skills, it also provides the motivation, and social support for pursuing and applying them. For this reason, society must be deeply concerned that much of current education falls far short of what is required. When we say this, it reflects the very necessities across the cultures that allow everyone become responsible towards quality enhancement.
Improving the quality and revelation of education and reorienting its goals to recognize the importance of sustainable development must be among society's highest priorities. It is not that we talk only about environment but also about every component of life.
We therefore need to clarify the concept of education for sustainable development. It was a major challenge for educators during the last decade. The meanings of sustainable development in educational set ups, the appropriate balance of peace, human rights, citizenship, social equity, ecological and development themes in already overloaded curricula, and ways of integrating the humanities, the social sciences and the arts into what had up-to-now been seen and practiced as a branch of science education.
Some argued that educating for sustainable development ran the risk of programming while others wondered whether asking schools to take a lead in the transition to sustainable development was asking too much of teachers.
These debates were compounded by the desire of many, predominantly environmental, NGOs to contribute to educational planning without the requisite understanding of how education systems work, how educational change and innovation takes place, and of relevant curriculum development, professional development and instructive values. Not realizing that effective educational change takes time, others were critical of governments for not acting more quickly.
Consequently, many international, regional and national initiatives have contributed to an expanded and refined understanding of the meaning of education for sustainable development. For example, Education International, the major umbrella group of teachers' unions and associations in the world, has issued a declaration and action plan to promote sustainable development through education.
A common agenda in all of these is the need for an integrated approach through which all communities, government entities, collaborate in developing a shared understanding of and commitment to policies, strategies and programs of education for sustainable development.
Actively promoting the integration of education into sustainable development at local community
In addition, many individual governments have established committees, panels, advisory councils and curriculum development projects to discuss education for sustainable development, develop policy and appropriate support structures, programs and resources, and fund local initiatives.
Indeed, the roots of education for sustainable development are firmly planted in the environmental education efforts of such groups. Along with global education, development education, peace education, citizenship education, human rights education, and multicultural and anti-racist education that have all been significant, environmental education has been particularly significant. In its brief thirty-year history, contemporary environmental education has steadily striven towards goals and outcomes similar and comparable to those inherent in the concept of sustainability.
A New Vision for Education
These many initiatives illustrate that the international community now strongly believes that we need to foster – through education – the values, behavior and lifestyles required for a sustainable future. Education for sustainable development has come to be seen as a process of learning how to make decisions that consider the long-term future of the economy, ecology and social well-being of all communities. Building the capacity for such futures-oriented thinking is a key task of education.
This represents a new vision of education, a vision that helps learners better understand the world in which they live, addressing the complexity and inter-contentedness of problems such as poverty, wasteful consumption, environmental degradation, urban decay, population growth, gender inequality, health, conflict and the violation of human rights that threaten our future. This vision of education emphasizes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to developing the knowledge and skills needed for a sustainable future as well as changes in values, behavior, and lifestyles. This requires us to reorient education systems, policies and practices in order to empower everyone, young and old, to make decisions and act in culturally appropriate and locally relevant ways to redress the problems that threaten our common future. We therefore need to think globally and act locally. In this way, people of all ages can become empowered to develop and evaluate alternative visions of a sustainable future and to fulfill these visions through working creatively with others.
Seeking sustainable development through education requires educators to:
• Place an ethic for living sustainable, based upon principles of social justice, democracy, peace and ecological integrity, at the center of society's concerns.
• Encourage a meeting of disciplines, a linking of knowledge and of expertise, to create understandings that are more integrated and contextualized.
• Encourage lifelong learning, starting at the beginning of life and stuck in life – one based on a passion for a radical transformation of the moral character of society.
• Develop to the maximum the potential of all human beings throughout their lives so that they can achieve self-fulfillment and full self-expression with the collective achievement of a viable future.
• Value aesthetics, the creative use of the imagination, an openness to risk and flexibility, and a willingness to explore new options.
• Encourage new alliances between the State and civil society in promoting citizens' liberation and the practice of democratic principles.
• Mobilize society in an intensive effort so as to eliminate poverty and all forms of violence and injustice.
• Encourage a commitment to the values for peace in such a way as to promote the creation of new lifestyles and living patterns
• Identify and pursue new human projects in the context of local sustainability within an earthly realization and a personal and communal awareness of global responsibility.
• Create realistic hope in which the possibility of change and the real desire for change are accompanied by a rigorous, active participation in change, at the appropriate time, in favor of a sustainable future for all.

The European species of vitis that is the vine most used for wine production, to which all the most familiar vine varieties belong. 1
Vitis vinifera is also called "Old World grape" since most production occurs in Europe and the other species are native to the New World. This species accounts for over 90% of world grape production. Most of the production is used to make wine, but it is also the primary species used for table (fresh eating) and raisin grape production. There are at least 5000 cultivars of Vinifera grapes grown worldwide, and some estimates put the number of known cultivars as high as 14,000. However, less than 100 make up the vast majority of production. Popular cultivars include 'Thompson Seedless' 'Cabernet Sauvignon', 'Merlot', 'Pinot Noir', 'Airen', 'Malbec', 'Chardonnay', 'Sauvignon Blanc', and 'Riesling'. 2
