Signs of gradual movement by religious
conservatives toward acceptance of LGBTs
World Vision's 2 days of inclusion during which
they recognized employees' same-sex marriages
We use the acronym "SSM" to represent "same-sex marriage"
"LGBT" refers to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender persons
and transsexuals. The acronym "LGB" refers to lesbians, gays, and bisexuals.
2014-MAR-24: Throughout the third world: World Vision is a very large evangelical Christian world relief organization. Their Employee Conduct Manual requires all of its approximate 1,000 employees to restrict their sexual activity to "abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage." In the past, they had always refused to recognize the legitimacy of same-sex marriages, and refused to hire potential employees who were married to a same-sex spouse.
According to the The Christian Post:
"In a letter to its employees that was shared with The Christian Post on Monday [2-14-MAR-24], World Vision President Richard Stearns announced that while the organization is not endorsing same-sex marriage, it recognizes that its staff is comprised of believers from more than 50 denominations, some of which have sanctioned same-sex marriage. Thus, its board has decided to defer the issue to local churches, in its effort to 'treat all of our employees equally.'
Stearns' letter regarding World Vision's change in employee practices notes that the board spent several years praying for discernment about their decision after having witnessed the debate over same-sex marriage 'tear apart the Body of Christ,' in families, churches, Christian universities and denominations.
'The board and I wanted to prevent this divisive issue from tearing World Vision apart and potentially crippling our ability to accomplish our vital kingdom mission of loving and serving the poorest of the poor in the name of Christ,' he stated." 1
The Agency leaders were faced with a trilemma:
They wanted to honor the decisions of their Christian employees who were members of the LGBT community, married, and faithful to their spouses.
They wanted to honor the decisions of some progressive Christian denominations to recognize the legitimacy of same-sex marriages.
They wanted to respect the position of most conservative denominations within Christianity which have not accepted the legitimacy of same-sex marriage.
Unfortunately, they could only make one of two decisions: to either reject or accept the legitimacy of same-sex marriages among their employees. There was no middle ground. They decided to take what they regarded as the honorable path. They decided to recognize LGBT employees married to a same-sex spouse as falling within the requirements of their manual. They announced their decision on Monday, MAR-24.
President Richard Stearns said:
"We're not caving to some kind of pressure. We're not on some slippery slope. There is no lawsuit threatening us. There is no employee group lobbying us. This is not us compromising. It is us deferring to the authority of churches and denominations on theological issues. We're an operational arm of the global church, we're not a theological arm of the church. This is simply a decision about whether or not you are eligible for employment at World Vision U.S. based on this single issue, and nothing more.
This is also not about compromising the authority of Scripture. People can say, 'Scripture is very clear on this issue,' and my answer is, 'Well ask all the theologians and denominations that disagree with that statement.' The church is divided on this issue. And we are not the local church. We are an operational organization uniting Christians around a common mission to serve the poor in the name of Christ." 2
Reactions to World Vision's decision from other evangelicals:
World Vision became the focus of a firestorm of very intense criticism from a wide variety of evangelical leaders. It started within a matter of hours:
Russell Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, of the Southern Baptist Convention said:
"At stake is the gospel of Jesus Christ. If sexual activity outside of a biblical definition of marriage is morally neutral, then, yes, we should avoid making an issue of it. If, though, what the Bible clearly teaches and what the church has held for 2000 years is true, then refusing to call for repentance is unspeakably cruel and, in fact, devilish. Donor bases come and go. World Vision is a good thing to have, unless the world is all you can see."
John Piper, a retired evangelical megachurch pastor, said:
"I pray they will repent and turn back to their more faithful roots."
Franklin Graham, is president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse. The latter is a world relief group similar to World Vision. He said that World Vision's new policy is:
"... ungodly. It's obvious World Vision doesn't believe in the Bible. I am sickened over it." 3
He also said:
"My dear friend, Bob Pierce, the founder of World Vision and Samaritan's Purse, would be heartbroken. He was an evangelist who believed in the inspired Word of God. World Vision maintains that their decision is based on unifying the church -– which I find offensive -– as if supporting sin and sinful behavior can unite the church. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, the Scriptures consistently teach that marriage is between a man and woman and any other marriage relationship is sin." 10
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council wrote that World Vision had:
"... closed the chapter on six decades of an incredible witness, driving a deep and irreparable stake into the heart of Christian outreach." 4
Trevin Wax, writing for The Gospel Coalition said:
"Children are the ones who suffer when organizations like World Vision, under the guise of neutrality, adopt policies that enshrine a false definition of marriage in the very statement that says no position will be taken. Children are the ones who suffer when President Obama (rightly) mourns the rampant fatherlessness in the African-American community, while simultaneously campaigning for marriage laws that would make fathers totally unnecessary. Children are the ones who suffer and die when 'sexual freedom' means the right of a mother to take the life of her unborn child. Sex is our god. Children are our sacrifice." 4
The Assemblies of God recommended that its congregations and members:
"... gradually shift support away from the U.S. branch of World Vision to Assemblies of God World Missions, and other Pentecostal and evangelical charities that maintain biblical standards of sexual morality." 1
George Wood, the general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, said that World Vision's new policy:
"... cannot be construed as anything but an endorsement of same-sex marriage. Far from promoting Christian unity, the policy change enlists World Vision on the liberal Protestant side of the same-sex marriage debate as opposed to that of Pentecostal and Evangelical churches in the U.S., not to mention Pentecostal and Evangelical churches worldwide.
Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, said:
"World Vision has abandoned the warning of Paul and compromised the integrity of a ministry financially supported by Christians who regard Scripture as the final authority on the issue.
Christians who support World Vision should stop, as should all of the artists and authors who raise money for them. There are many other organizations that sponsor children around the world who remain true to the Gospel." 5
Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary wrote:
"It is ridiculous to argue that World Vision is not taking sides on the issue. Willingly recognizing same-sex marriage and validating openly homosexual employees in their homosexuality is a grave and tragic act that confirms sinners in their sin†and "will mislead the world about the reality of sin and the urgent need of salvation."
Peter LaBarbera, co-founder with Scott Lively of a new group "Coalition for Family Values" called the decision a "sellout" and a "stunning capitulation to a powerful 'Sin Movement'." 6
Janet Porter, president and founder of Faith2Action, writing for Barbwire.com said:
"World Vision just got blurred. Yet another organization to bow to the homosexual agenda and embrace counterfeit marriage–as long as those breaking God's law at the same time claim to follow Him.
World Vision has been a great organization.  My husband and I sponsored a child, my mom sponsored dozens.  But you can't claim to make Jesus 'Lord' and 'central in your (individual and corporate) life' when you call good what God calls evil. ..." 7
Benjamin L. Corey who writes "Formerly Fundie" blog on Patheos saw a fundamental shift within evangelical Christianity as a result of World Vision's initial decision. He said:
"I sensed in my spirit that yesterday was a profound day in our history, and it came with sadness for me. The question I posed on twitter became: 'did we just witness the death of evangelicalism'? ..."
"In some ways, the answer to that is yes. Yesterday, I believe, was a major turning point in the Evangelical Reformation that has been underway and that we at least experienced the death of Evangelical Christianity in America as it once was.
Although it may not have always felt this way, Evangelical Christianity was a relatively large bubble that had room for a range of perspectives. Fundamentalist Evangelicals, Mainstream Evangelicals, and Progressive/Emergent Evangelicals were able to all be in the same space- though there was usually friction in areas of overlap, for a time it was big enough for everyone. ..."
"What we saw the death of yesterday obviously wasn't the theological category of 'evangelical' but the culture of 'evangelicalism' -- it was a death of the tribe as we knew it. The fundamentalist and the formerly 'main stream' evangelicals drew hard lines in the sand, merged together, and made it clear that they are not interested in big tents or leaving room for the 'other'. ..."
"There has always been room for disagreement on the issue of same sex marriage, but the lines that were drawn yesterday went further than I had imagined. ..."
"Be clear: this actually wasn't a debate on same sex marriage. This was a debate on whether or not a Christian organization can hire gay Christians from denominations who have a different theological perspective on the issue.
World Vision and those of us who lean my way said 'yes -- we want everyone working to help the poor and needy and we want to acknowledge diversity in the body.' The others responded with a 'Hell no. We'll pull the support of the children we sponsor before we ever tolerate gay people working here'." 8
This is an amazing blog posting. We strongly recommend reading the full posting, no matter what your views on LGBT rights, same-sex marriage, and faith may be.
2014-MAR-26: World Vision restores original policy:
On Wednesday, MAR-26, World Vision reversed their decision and returned to their earlier policy of discriminating against employees and potential employees who are in loving, committed same-sex marriages. President Richard Sterns and Jim Beré, Chairman of the World Vision U.S. Board responded with a letter:
"Dear Friends,
Today, the World Vision U.S. board publicly reversed its recent decision to change our national employment conduct policy. The board acknowledged they made a mistake and chose to revert to our longstanding conduct policy requiring sexual abstinence for all single employees and faithfulness within the Biblical covenant of marriage between a man and a woman.
We are writing to you our trusted partners and Christian leaders who have come to us in the spirit of Matthew 18 to express your concern in love and conviction. You share our desire to come together in the Body of Christ around our mission to serve the poorest of the poor. We have listened to you and want to say thank you and to humbly ask for your forgiveness.
In our board's effort to unite around the church's shared mission to serve the poor in the name of Christ, we failed to be consistent with World Vision U.S.'s commitment to the traditional understanding of Biblical marriage and our own Statement of Faith, which says, "We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.†And we also failed to seek enough counsel from our own Christian partners. As a result, we made a change to our conduct policy that was not consistent with our Statement of Faith and our commitment to the sanctity of marriage.
We are brokenhearted over the pain and confusion we have caused many of our friends, who saw this decision as a reversal of our strong commitment to Biblical authority. We ask that you understand that this was never the board's intent. We are asking for your continued support. We commit to you that we will continue to listen to the wise counsel of Christian brothers and sisters, and we will reach out to key partners in the weeks ahead.
While World Vision U.S. stands firmly on the biblical view of marriage, we strongly affirm that all people, regardless of their sexual orientation, are created by God and are to be loved and treated with dignity and respect.
Please know that World Vision continues to serve all people in our ministry around the world. We pray that you will continue to join with us in our mission to be 'an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice, and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God'." 9
Presumably, treating people "with dignity and respect" does not prevent World Vision from firing employees or refusing to hire employees solely because they have developed a loving, committed relationship with a member of the same sex, and married them.

Eat The Rich: Watch Steven Tyler's Skittles commercial before it premieres during Super Bowl 50
In Boston News
By Michael Marottaon February 7, 2016
Yeah sure, Coldplay is performing live during the Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show later tonight with some (much needed) help from Bruno Mars and Queen Beyoncé. But the real musical star power, at least as far as we here in Boston are concerned, arrives during one of the game's commercial breaks.
That's when Skittles rolls out its new ad featuring Aerosmith frontman and current county crooner Steven Tyler. In a cool Medieval castle, the singer comes face to face, literally, with a "Dream On"-singing Skittles portrait, and in case you don't wanna miss a thing, you can taste rainbows in advance via YouTube.
This doesn't make up for the lack of the Patriots in tonight's championship game, but it does serve up some hometown pride. We think.

Trivia series 2 ended last night. Some of the cast and crew watched it in a public house. Hugs were hugged and drinks were drinked. Hope we get to do it all again (the series, not the going to the pub, although that would be nice too). Thanks for watching.
Damien, I just hoped and prayed Lawrence and Molly would get back. Oh dear. Not for now.
Thank you for penning such a wonderful series. Every Thursday night became special. An escape into a world that is more meaningful than some of the world we have to put up with in the news.
The acting was superlative. God bless and bring on Trivia 3.
Thank you, John, that's lovely to hear. And who knows, maybe they'll be back. I certainly hope so.


My friend Derek had been contemplating a new car purchase for years. He finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 Lexus IS350. Gorgeous vehicle. The dealer offered to add a paint protection package for $800. Needless to say, applying a paint protecting sealant is NOT a $800 affair. Derek and I sealed his paint using Menzerna's "Power Lock" polymer sealant. It was easy to apply using a foam applicator pad, and it buffed off effortlessly with a plush microfibre towel. The process took less than an hour and that's mostly due to the fact that we are both perfectionists. We applied a liberal coat of Griot's Garage Glass Sealant to the exterior glass. His car is well positioned to handle the coming winter.

How Plymouth Argyle will decide which fans can return to Home Park
Crowds for home games will be limited to a maximum of 2,000 under Covid-19 restrictions
Plymouth Argyle have confirmed how they will accommodate the partial return of the Green Army to Home Park on matchdays.
The League One club sold around 5,000 season tickets earlier this summer, despite supporters not knowing when they would be allowed to attend games.
Today has seen confirmation that Plymouth has been placed in tier 2 of the new Covid-19 restrictions, which will come into force next Wednesday.
That means Argyle will be allowed to have a maximum of 2,000 supporters at their home matches, starting against Ipswich Town in League One on Saturday, December 5.
Ryan Lowe says 2,000 crowds at Plymouth Argyle will be 'big bonus'
Argyle have issued a statement today which explained how they would assign tickets to fans.
Priority seating will be allocated to Club Argyle members, followed by season ticket holders in order of purchase date and time.
Argyle have acknowledged that means not all season ticket holders will be able to attend games.
The club will continue to push for the limitations to be reviewed and the capacity ceiling to be lifted 'as soon as possible'.
Argyle will make contact with season ticket holders early next week to outline which supporters are eligible for the fixture, and the process of attending.
The Argyle statement read in full as follows:
We note Thursday's announcement placing the city of Plymouth in tier two in the national Covid tiering system.
The club is delighted with the prospect of 2,000 members of the Green Army returning to Home Park from Saturday, 5 December, for the visit of Ipswich Town in Sky Bet League One – although we are, of course, disappointed that we cannot welcome more of our loyal supporters back into the stands.
Club staff have been working tirelessly to ensure that we are ready to welcome fans back to Home Park at the earliest opportunity, and we are confident that we have implemented the best possible measures for the Green Army's return to watch Ryan Lowe's Pilgrims in action.
We understand that supporters will be keen to receive more information on their prospective return to Home Park, and how we will assign tickets.
Tyrese Fornah will put friendship aside in Plymouth Argyle's FA Cup clash
The club awaits further formal guidance from the EFL, as well as other crucial stakeholders, and will provide further information in due course.
As outlined when season tickets were placed on sale in the summer, priority seating will be allocated to our Club Argyle members, followed by season ticket holders, in order of purchase date and time.
As we understand it, supporters whose registered ticketing address is in a 'tier three' area, will not be eligible to attend Home Park under the current rules, but those who are in tiers one and two will be able to do so.
During the initial period, not all of our loyal season ticket holders will be able to attend. The club will continue to push for the limitations to be reviewed, and the capacity ceiling to be lifted as soon as possible.
Each week, Chris will give subscribers an exclusive glimpse of what life is like as one of Britain's most-travelled football reporters in our well-read 'Inside Home Park' newsletter. It's an absolute must-read, and you can sign up for that here.
Of course, we also understand that some season ticket holders will be shielding, or feel that they are not comfortable returning to Home Park until later down the line.
This is understandable, and we encourage those season ticket holders to make contact with the Home Park Ticket Office to ensure that their place in the queue is allocated to someone else.
The club will make contact with season ticket holders early next week to outline which supporters are eligible for the fixture, and the process of attending. Thank you for your support.
Argyle fans, what are your thoughts on how the club will be assigning tickets for their 2,000-crowd limited home games, starting against Ipswich? Please post your comments below:

Sacrificing a bilingual Supreme Court to indigenous reconciliation a questionable idea
By Chantal Hébert Star Columnist
Wed., Dec. 6, 2017
MONTREAL—It is a sign of the times that decisively mixed reviews attended Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's latest Supreme Court appointment.
The qualifications of Alberta justice Sheilah Martin had little to do with the somewhat cool reception. Her credentials are impeccable and the court will be richer for her contribution.
Justice Sheilah Martin's credentials are impeccable and the Supreme Court will be richer for her contribution, Chantal Hebert writes. But Trudeau's choice is a disappointment for those who had hoped for an Indigenous pick for the top court. (FRED CHARTRAND / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
She also fits Trudeau's goals of a gender-balanced functionally bilingual top court.
But for the many who had hoped the Prime Minister would appoint the first-ever Indigenous Supreme Court member, the choice was a bitter disappointment.
Yet Trudeau did not pass over an Indigenous candidate on the way to selecting Martin. A senior source told the Star none of the three applicants who made the shortlist drafted by a screening committee chaired by former prime minister Kim Campbell was Indigenous.
Trudeau could have looked beyond that list. But chances are he would have had to set aside either his gender parity objective or his bilingualism requirement or both to propose an Indigenous appointee.
He might also have had to settle for a less accomplished jurist. Campbell said the three candidates whose names were submitted to the Prime Minister stood head-and-shoulder above the other 11 applicants.
Based on Martin's appearance in front of a committee of parliamentarians on Tuesday, that assessment took into account the candidate's judicial track record, not just the demographics of her profile.
Critics of Trudeau's choice believe he should have short-circuited the screening process if that is what it took to arrive at an Indigenous appointment. And some are arguing the search for functionally bilingual judges is unduly shutting out otherwise qualified Indigenous candidates.
There has never been unanimous support for the notion that Canada's top judges should be able to hear and adjudicate cases in either French or English without the assistance of simultaneous translation. But this is a new twist on an old argument and those putting it forward hail from unlikely quarters.
Under Jack Layton and Thomas Mulcair, the NDP has led the battle to put into law the requirement that future Supreme Court justices be functionally bilingual.
Over the last decade, that battle has probably done as much to put the party on the Quebec map as its controversial acceptance of the simple majority vote as the referendum threshold to reach to trigger the province's secession process.
At a time when a majority of Quebecers is not inclined to revisit the independence issue, most are more interested in ensuring their language rights are respected within Canada's national institutions than in the conditions under which they could leave the federation.
But in this Parliament, no MP has been as adamant about the need to relax the language requirements for Indigenous candidates to the top court than Quebec's Roméo Saganash. The NDP's leading Indigenous rights champion has also argued that the very notion of official bilingualism is a colonial one.
On the latest Supreme Court appointment, rookie NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh initially sided with Saganash, only to reverse his stance in the face of a simmering caucus backlash.
On Tuesday, Trudeau's proposed official languages commissioner Raymond Théberge stunned many MPs when he told a parliamentary committee he supported the notion of a functionally bilingual Supreme Court bench in theory but that he had some difficulty with it in practice.
Théberge said a fully bilingual court could be one that fails to reflect Canada's diversity.
But if it were acceptable for the country's highest court to shrug off the concept of Canada's linguistic duality, what other federal institutions would similarly find grace in the eyes of the next official languages commissioner?
The ability of the members of Canada's top court to function in both official languages is not a theoretical concept. Absent that ability, the onus is on francophone lawyers to either argue in a second language or to risk having the subtleties of their legal points lost in the translation offered to the unilingual judges. Ditto for the French-speaking justices as they communicate in writing or verbally with their colleagues.
In practice, that amounts to making English the sole working language of the top court.
There is a large but fragile consensus behind Trudeau's goal of an overdue reconciliation with Canada's Indigenous peoples. That consensus crosses language lines. But it will be hard to sustain if the country's commitment to linguistic duality is cast as an impediment to that reconciliation rather than treated as a fundamental part of its diversity.

On Saturday afternoon I was booked to do a couple of hours of magic at Claire and Gareth's wedding at Cantley House Hotel in Wokingham. It's always nice to do magic here as it's only a five minute drive from my home! The weather had been very changeable all week, but as the wedding ceremony finished the sun came out and it was lovely and warm in the hotel garden. I thoroughly enjoyed mingling with the guests doing impossible things, including a couple of new routines that I have been working on for a while that went over really well. All of the guests then moved into the Briar Suite for the wedding breakfast and I did some more magic around the tables, including a very special bit of mind-reading that caused someone to almost fall off their chair in amazement! A wonderful afternoon and all the best to Claire and Gareth for your future together.
A couple of days ago I was booked by ATM Events to do magic at a corporate party for De La Rue. They had really pulled all of the stops out by hiring the whole of St Anne's Manor in Wokingham and arranging all sorts of entertainment. Alongside my magic their was a caricaturist, photo booth, casino tables, Frank Sinatra tribute act, dancing girls ands lots of free food and drink. It was a wonderful evening and a pleasure to have been part of it all. Thanks to Heidi for arranging everything.


I have seen making parathas is one of the most difficult tasks for beginners. In fact not only beginners even the experienced cooks have hard time in making perfect stuffed parathas. The outer covering of parathas should be in perfect texture or else it just breaks while rolling them. So it takes a lot of experience to get it right.
Few months back my cousin Usha sent me link from Bawarchi.com which had an easy Alu paratha recipe. She said she made the parathas with that recipe for a party and everyone was surprised (considering she was in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy, making parathas for a party is some miracle, in my opinion).
I tried the recipe and it was awesome (unfortunately I lost the link in between switching from old to new laptop). To make it a bit healthier, I tried it with mixed vegetables. First I tried with all raw vegetables, since it had a bit of raw smell, next time I tried with cooked vegetables.
Instead of mixed vegetables, the stuffing used for Alu paratha can also be used. Basically any kind of stuffing used for stuffed parathas can be used for this recipe.
Cook vegetables along with ginger pieces in cooker.
Add masalas, cumin seeds and salt.
Grind it in a blender/mixer to a paste (do not add water). The paste need not be very smooth, it tastes great when there are a few pieces of vegetables. (If using Alu paratha stuffing instead of mixed vegetables, grind it to a paste at this step).
Add the ground mixture and yogurt(curd) to wheat flour. Mix it into a dough(like chapathi dough). Apply oil to the dough. Leave the dough for around 30 to 45mins(this is mandatory to get soft parathas).
Take a big amount(bigger than chapathi) of the dough and roll it into parathas (parathas should be slightly thicker than chapathis to get the actual taste of it).
Heat tava and fry the paratha from both sides. Apply ghee.
Serve with pickle or masala dahi.
This looks simple to make. A healthy recipe for me to try !! Thnx for sharing.
Shilpa, paratha looks great and simple..you have such a beautiful collection of recipes shilpa..i wish i was your next door neighbour ….i would have got to eat special food everyday…:-).Thanks for all the wonderful recipes.

Hi Shilpa….I was always wondering, how to stuff veg in the parotha. This is a neat way to do it. Mash and add to the atta. I have all the vegies at home and i going to try this for sure tommorrow. By the way i make masala dahi by adding, rock salt, pepper and jeera powder. It tastes great. Thanks for sharing the paratha recipe.
This sure is a easy way to make parathas. I tried this and my husband absolutely loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Hi Shilpa…I made this today morning, for my sons tiffin. Used carrots, potato, cauliflower and peas. Came out very well. It is very easy to roll out. Thanks for a easy paratha.

A very healthy and tasty paratha it seems to be. I will definitely try for my 5 1/2 yrs daughter. I am sure she will enjoy it and me tooooo. Thx for sharing.
Thanks for a nice recipe. I tried it and parathas were real yummy…..
Shilpa: Priyam, the vegetables have a lot of water in them. So do not add water initially, if required, then only add. You can apply little oil to the dough on the outside once kneading is done.
hey shilpa – tried this on sat. started off like a nightmare – ended like a beautiful dream – seriously :)too much veggies – too l'l flour- kept adding flour , still kept sticking to the hand – god i was so sure twas a disaster . but when rolling it – patted with extra flour and was just perrrfect :)) thanks a ton – a very healthy and delicious recipe this . U R THE BEST !
A wonderful recipe and so easy to make. I made a few changes – grated the vegetables and cooked them in a heavy bottom pan instead of blending them in the blender. Came out really well.
i had always problem in preparing the Parathas. Thanks a lot for sharing. i will try this receipe and let you knoe the feedback.
A week ago i visited your blog for the first time when i was looking for a egg curry recipie. I found one from this blog and something interested me.(maybe the way the blog is designed and/or your way of puting the recipie).I tried it and it was awesome. Now, whenever i want to try some new dish, i am confident that i will find some good recipie from your blog. And surprisingly i find cooking as an interesting hobby. Thank you.

Enjoy outdoor sports like mountain biking or running? Then a shiny smartwatch just ain't going to cut it. Risk wearing something like an Apple Watch on a BMX ride or country run, and you risk getting it scratched up or smashed up. What you really want is G-SHOCK levels of toughness, and Garmin have released a smartwatch with exactly that in the Instinct - a new smartwatch built for the outdoors. The Garmin Instinct is one of the toughest smartwatches we've seen. It's built to the U.S. military standard 810G for thermal, shock, and water resistance. MIL-STD-810 certification means ..

If you're a fan of the Huawei Watch GT but want something smaller and more affordable, the Honor Watch Magic is the smartwatch you want. The Watch Magic is a Watch GT is miniature form. The best part is it has all the fantastic features offered by the larger Huawei. It doesn't compromise on spec. For those of you who don't know, Huawei is Honor's parent company but Honor is an entirely separate brand in its own right. The two do share design notes though, which is why Honor's Watch Magic looks so much like Huawei's Watch GT. The differences between the two devices are subtle but o..

The American wearables manufacturer has struggled to turn a profit year on year but managed to do so this quarter fuelled by strong smartwatch sales, with smartwatches now accounting for around half of total revenue. Net losses decreased significantly to $2.1 million from $113.4 million this time last year, a difference of $111.3 million. This paints a rosy picture for Fitbit, who released the Fitbit Versa, Fitbit Charge 3, Fitbit Ace and Fitbit Aria 2 this year. These four devices accounted for 62% of revenue, which just goes to show how well their smartwatches are selling. Due to t..

Fancy yourself a Wear OS smartwatch that's both fashionable and capable? The new Tory Burch Classic Gigi is designed specially for you. This stylish smartwatch is available in black, silver or gold and 40mm and 48mm sizes. It's made as a unisex device but with its feminine Tory Burch name, we expect it'll appeal more to ladies than men. That's a shame though because there's no visible branding on the watch other than on the watch face, which you can change. Anyway, this is the best fashion smartwatch on the market in terms of specs, so if you're after a designer smartwatch that does ..
Thought the Google Pixel 3 was leaked a lot? The Misfit Vapor 2 trumps it after being leaked months ago. It looked for a while as though Misfit would launch it without announcing it because of this. But, they held off and finally announced it this month. As you can expect, this was anticlimactic for Misfit. The Vapor 2 was supposed to be announced to fanfare as their first proper stab at a smartwatch. It didn't go to plan, but at least the device has lived up to its promises. With built-in GPS, NFC support (available in select countries), heart-rate tracking and Google's latest versi..

The Apple Watch is a seriously good smartwatch. There's no doubt about it being a top-tier device. But that square face isn't for everyone. And you know what? The Apple brand isn't for everyone either. Most people we talk to say Apple has lost its mojo. Believe the same? It sounds like you'd do better with an Apple Watch alternative. There's loads of Apple Watch alternatives out there. Some of them are rubbish, but some of them are absolutely outstanding. What we've got here is a collection of the best alternatives listed in one helpful guide. You know, because we're nice like that. ..

Samsung owns Tizen and Google owns Wear OS. You'll find Tizen exclusively on Samsung smartwatches and Wear OS on hundreds of devices. From a product choice perspective, there's a whole lot more choice with Wear OS but that doesn't matter. You're here because you want to know which is best for you. The only new Samsung smartwatch you can buy right now is the Galaxy Watch, which is in our opinion is the best smartwatch on the market.

If you're a fan of the Wear OS experience but want mechanical hands on your smartwatch, LG's launched something new this month just for you. The LG Watch W7 is a touchscreen smartwatch with mechanical hands. It's got a 1.2-inch LCD 360 x 360 resolution display and a pair of hands that sit on top of it. For many people, that's the perfect combination but it does come at a cost. A mix of digital and analogue Far from being 'stuck on' with the mere capability to tell the time, the hands are 'smart' with the ability to move out of the way either together or in separate directi..

Anyone not hitting their 60 seconds was fined.
As Red Nose Day is celebrating 25 years with an Eighties vibe - all members were asked to surreptitously mention an 80s pop song in their 60 seconds. Failure to do so? You guessed it - a fine!
Infact some members mentioned an awful lot of 80s songs in their 60 second introductions - very creatively. Obviously - they were still fined!
In total we raised nearly £185 which will go towards our Chairperson's (Joanne Cooper) chosen charity: Thringstone And District Disabled Activity Club (TADDAC). The money will be used to support the ever-increasing transport costs faced by the group in getting members to and from the club and out on day trips.
Thank you to everyone who took part. An special mention to Graham's long-lost Australian brother, Josh, who explained his involvement in The Sales Company (see picture)!

By electing to carry out organic gardening instead of conventional gardening it means that your reliance on chemicals is removed. By doing away with chemicals that are commonly used in gardening, your fruit and vegetables will be far healthier, simply because they get all the nutrients they require naturally.
In contrast to traditional gardening, an organic garden makes it possible to avoid potentially dangerous toxins from being absorbed into your body.
The most significant challenges we face today, are the use of today's garden products with man made chemical substances.
Present day gardening products such as fertilizers and pesticides affect the wellbeing of people as well as the environment.
These chemical substances seep into the soil and can pollute water supplies, your garden, home, and as pointed out, have a detrimental effect on your health.
The application of modern day garden products which contain man made chemical substances are in part to blame for the decline of the Earth's ozone layer.
If you do decide to go organic, you can remove any concerns you may have for doing any further damage to the environment.
Additionally, you will help alleviate problems with the poisoning of groundwater, and get away from contributing even more harmful toxins to the soil.
Being familiar with how the ecosystem functions can provide a significantly better perspective of exactly how organic lawn care can accomplish precisely the same outcome without resorting to man-made materials.
Ecological gardening is different to managing a traditional vegetable garden. With an ecological garden, there is far less to do. As you become the observer and allow nature to take over as head gardener, you will notice that the garden is in a continual state of gentle change, just like a natural ecosystem.
By deciding to grow your vegetables organically, you're ensuring your vegetables are in their purest form, as nature intended.
Modern gardening products, with chemicals, actually change the taste of vegetables. Fertilizer with man-made chemicals can also ultimately lead to severe health problems.
The first step to growing organic foods; is to find an excellent location and allocate sufficient space to grow your vegetables.
Another important factor to consider, when thinking about your organic garden, is to ensure the soil has adequate drainage. It's also advisable to keep it as close to a water source as you can.
When preparing your organic garden, it is good idea to map out your garden before you decide to plant any seeds. After you have measured the area for your intended organic garden, you can sketch the layout on a piece of graph paper, if you can do it to scale so much the better.
It's absolutely essential to begin with clean soil before sowing any seeds.
Naturally, if your soil should be contaminated, all of the advantages of having an organic vegetable garden are nullified. The seeds you sow also need to be produced from organically grown plants.
A crucial stage, with regards to growing an organic garden is the preparation of the soil. However, preparation is significantly slower than if you employ fertilizers with man made chemical substances.
You must ensure that any fertilizers you use are 100 % natural and chemical free. The best way to make certain that your fertilizer is free of chemicals is to purchase from an organic garden center. It's also possible to use organic mulches and compost materials you would usually discard; to help enrich your garden soil.

Cell Phone Cameras can be extremely valuable for numerous different reasons. For instance, when you leave your home and also go out in public somewhere, have you taken your electronic camera with you? Most likely not, yet it is most likely that you take your mobile phone with you. As a result, if you notice something that you desire to get a picture of, with your mobile phone camera, you can swiftly and also quickly obtain an image.
Some individuals are rather more vibrant with these kinds of electronic cameras. For instance, these kinds of electronic cameras frequently work as video cameras as well. If people remain in L.a or New york city and also discovered a star attempting to be incognito, they can take a movie or a picture of them without anybody realizing.
Teenagers specifically like electronic cameras such as these for their own vibrant reasons. For instance, with electronic cameras such as these, a lady or young boy can merely break a picture of the person they like without having to be concerned regarding anybody discovering that they did it.
If the various performance of a mobile phone camera appears like a great idea for you, after that ensure to research study all the various phones that have this capability through your service provider. With electronic cameras such as these, it is highly likely you'll catch some outstanding pictures that you would certainly never ever have had the ability to take or else.
At parties, showing off occasions, wedding events and also special occasions it permits you to capture photos that will certainly always be born in mind without the inconvenience of having to remember to take your camera with to these occasions.
Typical attributes of the brand-new mobile phone electronic cameras are higher quality photos, more storage space memory, water proofing, much better zoom function, red eye reduction and also flash capabilities. It has been stated that it is one of the handiest gadgets of modern-day technology.
The best means to get the phone with the best camera is to visit professional photographer jonnycamera's website. He has a wonderful article regarding which cell phone has the best camera that will certainly help you decide which phone has the best camera today.
Never ever prior to has modern-day technology been so obtainable and also open up to the entire large globe. As time passes they will certainly develop brand-new attributes that will certainly surprise us even additionally. Remember that those ideal moments are always just a click away.
Mirrorless Cameras are Digital Cameras which offer the photo high quality and also versatility of specialist Digital Single-Lens Reflex electronic cameras (DSLRs), along with a wheelchair more detailed to that of a much more common "point and also shoot" electronic camera. They are also frequently called Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras merely since that, distinct from the common Digital Cameras for customer market, they offer a system to change lenses easily, as it's finished with specialist ones.
An ingenious layout which preserves the Photo Sensing unit Solution of DSLRs makes this all achievable. Which indicates that high quality is by no means influenced. The mirror common to Reflex mirrors isn't really included for that reason, the Mirrorless camera is small and also incredibly mobile unlike standard DSLR electronic cameras. The downside is that although the mirrorless camera is a whole lot smaller in dimension the lens require a good deal of room in order to maintain the outstanding picture high quality from a camera of this measurement.
Partial solution for the formerly mentioned issue comes from the brand-new Micro 4 Thirds system, originated from the preliminary 4 Third System taken on by specialist DSLR electronic cameras; the micro 4:3 has been designed by Olympus and also Panasonic, and also it's amongst the requirements produced specifically for Mirrorless Cameras. This brand-new standard permits to minimize the measurements of the lenses made use of by the camera, without affecting excessive on the photo high quality. Moreover, since it shares the majority of the requirements of the initial 4:3 Requirement, the "old" SLR 4 Third lenses works incredibly well on these brand-new mirrorless full frame by utilizing an adapter. This feature on it's own is a substantial advantage for any kind of specialist digital photographer that currently has a great supply of lenses, as they might be reused easily. Various other producers, like Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, FujiFilm, and so on, make use of comparable approaches, nonetheless based on a various layout.
The viewfinder is yet an additional characteristic of this brand-new sort of camera that's worthy of talking about. While standard DSLRs utilize an optical viewfinder which calls for a prism and also a mirror this entire element has been taken out in the mirrorless camera. In its area is an Electronic Viewfinder (the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 and also its follower, the DMC-G2, include it). It's a reproduction of the performance of the initial Viewfinder because the professional photographer can see the picture through the eyes of the sensing unit as opposed to the lenses just like in the LCD show positioned on all point and also shoot electronic cameras. The advantage to the Digital Viewfinder (EVF) in contrast with the LCD show is that a variety of extra attributes like a histogram and also automatic exposure modification (indispensable when taking pictures in the evening) are included. These additional incentives will certainly produce some lag in the updating of the picture because of the additional processes and also will certainly also raise battery usage. There have been some improvement of these drawbacks in more current design mirrorless electronic cameras and also they will certainly get better with future upgrades.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
Discussion led by Lucy Kennedy
From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?

One Hot Summer: Dickens, Darwin, Disraeli, and the Great Stink of 1858 by Rosemary Ashton
Discussion led by Alan Rubin
A unique, in-depth view of Victorian London during the record-breaking summer of 1858, when residents both famous and now-forgotten endured "The Great Stink" together
While 1858 in London may have been noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River, the year is otherwise little remembered. And yet, historian Rosemary Ashton reveals in this compelling microhistory, 1858 was marked by significant, if unrecognized, turning points. For ordinary people, and also for the rich, famous, and powerful, the months from May to August turned out to be a summer of consequence.
Ashton mines Victorian letters and gossip, diaries, court records, newspapers, and other contemporary sources to uncover historically crucial moments in the lives of three protagonists—Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, and Benjamin Disraeli. She also introduces others who gained renown in the headlines of the day, among them George Eliot, Karl Marx, William Thackeray, and Edward Bulwer Lytton. Ashton reveals invisible threads of connection among Londoners at every social level in 1858, bringing the celebrated city and its citizens vibrantly to life.

American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies in the Founding of the Republic by Joseph Ellis
Discussion led by Peter Bluhm
Acclaimed historian Joseph J. Ellis brings his unparalleled talents to this riveting account of the early years of the Republic.
The last quarter of the eighteenth century remains the most politically creative era in American history, when a dedicated group of men undertook a bold experiment in political ideals. It was a time of both triumphs and tragedies—all of which contributed to the shaping of our burgeoning nation. Ellis casts an incisive eye on the gradual pace of the American Revolution and the contributions of such luminaries as Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, and brilliantly analyzes the failures of the founders to adequately solve the problems of slavery and the treatment of Native Americans. With accessible prose and stunning eloquence, Ellis delineates in American Creation an era of flawed greatness, at a time when understanding our origins is more important than ever.

War is a Racket: The Antiwar Classic by America's Most Decorated Soldier by Smedley D. Butler
Discussion led by Will Singleton
Unique among the high ranking military officers of the US and the world I do not know of any other high ranking military officer of the US or the world, who has spoken or written such most important truths and facts about the nature and causes of war.
General Butler wrote these in simple and direct language that everyone can understand. His honesty; care for society, humanity, and justice for all; and profound insights; are self-evident in his writing. Moreover, it is even much more relevant now than when it was written in 1935.
War Is a Racket is the title of two works, a speech and a booklet, by retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley D. Butler. In them, Butler frankly discusses from his experience as a career military officer how business interests commercially benefit (including war profiteering) from warfare.
After his retirement from the Marine Corps, Butler made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a small book with the same title that was published in 1935 by Round Table Press, Inc., of New York. The booklet was also condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas, the "as told to" author of Butler's oral autobiographical adventures, praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage".

The Untold Plot to Over-through FDR
Most people will be shocked to learn that in 1933 a cabal of wealthy industrialists - in league with groups like the K.K.K. and the American Liberty League - planned to overthrow the U.S. government in a fascist coup. Their plan was to turn discontented veterans into American "brown shirts," depose F.D.R., and stop the New Deal. They clandestinely asked Medal of Honor recipient and Marine Major General Smedley Darlington Butler to become the first American Caesar. He, though, was a true patriot and revealed the plot to journalists and to Congress. In a time when a sitting President has invoked national security to circumvent constitutional checks and balances, this episode puts the spotlight on attacks upon our democracy and the individual courage needed to repel them.

    Item item;

    if (p.UCPT_Name != null)
    {
        Item_DataColl resultSet;
        try
        {
            OnProgressBarUpdate(progressBar.UnknownEnd);
            resultSet = connector.command_READ(p.UCPT_Name);

I'm trying to execute a SOAP request and to send the result. To make the application "non-blocking", i've used Thread.
The soap request works perfectly, but i have trouble to send a result just after the end of the thread. I will have to keep track of it and when the thread is over, to send back the result to another class.
How can i perform this ?

A: Well.. this solution CAN BE WRITTEN WAY BETTER.. but I'm currently working with the code you already posted.
The approach - using a callback (with a delegate):
First - declare a delegate in your class scope
private Action<Item_DataColl> OnResultSetComplete;

Second - assign the delegate with some function BEFORE calling your thread
public Item_DataColl invoke_command_READ(string UCPTName)
    {
        OnResultSetComplete = (resukts) =>
        {
             // DO SOMETHING HERE
        };
        networkingThread = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(thread_command_READ));
        networkingThread.Start(new readingThreadParameter(UCPTName));
    }

Finally - change your read result function:
private Item_DataColl thread_command_READ_result(object parameter)
    {
        readingThreadParameter p = parameter as readingThreadParameter;
        Item item;

        if (p.UCPT_Name != null)
        {
            Item_DataColl resultSet;
            try
            {
                OnProgressBarUpdate(progressBar.UnknownEnd);
                resultSet = connector.command_READ(p.UCPT_Name);
                readOperationDone(resultSet);
                OnConsoleWriting(string.Format("[READING] Lecture réussie : {0} = {1}", ((Dp_Data)resultSet.Item[0]).UCPTname, ((Dp_Data)resultSet.Item[0]).UCPTvalue[0].Value), ILonConnectorConsoleResultType.RESULT);
                if (OnResultSetComplete != null) OnResultSetComplete(resultSet);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                OnConsoleWriting(e.ToString(), ILonConnectorConsoleResultType.ERROR);
            }
            finally
            {
                OnProgressBarUpdate(progressBar.Invisible);
            }
        }
    }

Rural Minnesota is undergoing major shifts in demographics, especially in the aging population. While 30 percent of the state's total population lives in rural Minnesota, 41 percent of those 65 and older currently live there.

Rural Minnesota is undergoing major shifts in demographics, especially in the aging population. While 30 percent of the state's total population lives in rural Minnesota, 41 percent of those 65 and older currently live there.
With this increase in the senior population in rural areas of Minnesota, such as Douglas County, the demand for health care professionals is rapidly growing as well. Having a shortage of this labor, however, is proving to be a common challenge.
Ecumen Bethany Community in Alexandria has been trying to take proactive measures in attracting new applicants during the workforce shortage. On Wednesday, April 29, the staff hosted an Employment Open House in hopes to fill the needs they currently have in staffing.
"We're in the process of rolling out a new staffing pattern, which creates more openings," said Rachel Primus, the hiring and staffing specialist at Bethany. "There are currently roughly 20 openings."
The new staffing pattern is one of the creative ways staff at Bethany is using to attract more employees. The pattern includes weekend-only positions to accommodate stay-at-home parents, flexible hours to work easily around employees still in school, and rotating weekend shifts every three weeks.
"This generation is different," explained Ashlie Bradley, the human resources director at Bethany. "People have a strong core-family value that we need to embrace."
The biggest needs in staff that Bethany is currently facing are nursing assistants and licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Bradley and Primus agree that a big reason for the high turnover rate in those two positions is that people are going on to the next level, becoming registered nurses and receiving higher pay.
The shortage in health care professionals in rural areas has not gone unnoticed by Minnesota legislators. In early January, members of U.S. Senator Al Franken's staff stopped in Alexandria as a part of his Rural Health Tour to discuss the unique health care challenges facing areas like Douglas County.
A variety of solutions were suggested to improve the health care system in rural areas. These included expanding nursing and medical programs in college, long-term care insurance education, and refiguring the payment structure for seniors' living costs on which the government currently operates.
The Rural Health Tour will assist in Sen. Franken's efforts to press bipartisan legislation to support rural health care delivery systems and to provide innovative, sustainable health care solutions for patients in rural America during 2015 congressional sessions.
For now, the staff at Bethany encourages all Minnesotans to talk to their legislators about the need for improvement in how health care workers are paid and benefited so that the older generation is properly cared for.
"Taking care of seniors needs to be an important part of society," Bradley stated. "Seniors are our most vulnerable but most honorable people in the country."

Global Warming Voodoo Or Science? 'Iron Fertilization' Of Oceans ( Watch The Webcast Live Now)
By News Staff | September 26th 2007 04:00 AM | Print | E-mail
Several times over the past century, scientists and environmental engineers have proposed spreading slurries of dissolved iron into the oceans in order to "fertilize" the waters and promote vast blooms of marine plants (phytoplankton). Phytoplankton consume carbon dioxide as they grow, and this growth can be stimulated in certain ocean basins by the addition of iron, a necessary micronutrient.
Though common on land, dissolved iron is often rare in the ocean. Some researchers and commercial interests have recently proposed to provide that missing nutrient on a large scale in order to create artificial blooms.
Theory holds that if you make such blooms large enough, you could remove excess carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere and carry it down into the deep ocean as organic matter (such as fecal pellets and dead plankton) sinks, thereby reducing the impact of greenhouse gases and global warming.
"There are many critical questions that require both better scientific understanding and an improved legal, economic, and political framework before iron fertilization can be considered either effective or appropriate," said Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist in WHOI's Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department and a participant in two iron fertilization experiments at sea. "The time is right to bring scientists, policymakers, and commercial interests together to inform each other and the public."
Scientists took a serious interest in the idea in the late 1980s after oceanographer John Martin famously told colleagues: "Give me half a tanker of iron and I'll give you the next ice age." Iron fertilization has since been tested in at least a dozen experiments around the world. The results have varied, but in general, iron fertilizers have been shown to promote plant growth in surface waters. However, many researchers remain skeptical about whether the process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for the long term or just for a fleeting time. Ecological impacts from long-term, large-scale fertilization are also a concern.
The purpose of the Woods Hole conference is to bring researchers, policymakers, industrial interests, regulators, and environmentalists together to share their scientific observations and discuss the range of issues involved in altering the chemistry of the ocean. It is not intended as forum or referendum for specific projects and ventures.
In 20 hours of formal presentations and panel discussions over two days, participants will discuss:
Efficacy: Can iron fertilization work?
Research: What do we already know, and what could future studies, models, and experiments tell us?
Consequence: What will be the intended and unintended impacts?
Policy: What are the economic, social, and regulatory considerations?
The symposium—"Exploring Ocean Iron Fertilization: The Scientific, Economic, Legal, and Political Basis"-- is being hosted by Buesseler, Scott Doney, a senior scientist in the WHOI Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, and Hauke Kite-Powell, a research specialist in the WHOI Marine Policy Center.

Long-Term Cotton Yield Impacts from Cropping Rotations and Biocovers under No-Tillage
Authors: Amanda J. Ashworth, Fred L. Allen, Arnold M. Saxton, and Donald D. Tyler
DOI: (https://doi.org/10.56454/DTEX2014)
Sustaining crop yields assumedly entails crop rotations and biocovers. To test this, cropping sequences and biocover effects on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields were assessed under long-term no-tillage. Main plots were eight cropping sequences of cotton, corn (Zea mays L.), and soybean (Glycine max L.) on a Loring silt loam at the Research and Education Center at Milan, TN. Sequences were repeated in 4-yr cycles (i.e., Phases I, II, and III) from 2002 to 2013. Split-plots were biocovers, which consisted of hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.), Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum L. sativum var. arvense), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), poultry litter, and fallow control. Continuous cotton had greater yield than cotton grown in rotations [3.1 and 2.8 Mg ha-1, respectively; p = 0.02 (averaged across biocovers and phases)]. Biocover did not increase yield in continuous cotton (p > 0.05). However, various cropping sequences did result in higher yield than continuous cotton within 4-yr cycles. Specifically, corn-corn-soybean-cotton rotations were highest yielding during Phase II (4.0 Mg ha-1), which was equivalent to cotton-corn-cotton-soybean (3.5 and 3.8 Mg ha-1, respectively); and cotton-corn-cotton-corn during Phases II and III (3.6 and 3.8 Mg ha-1, respectively). All aforementioned rotations increased yield above continuous cotton during Phases I and III (p < 0.05). Results indicate increasing cropping diversity with one and two years of soybean or corn, respectively, in a 4-yr cycle maintains cotton seed yield long-term.


A food organization is one of the best ways to ensure that hygienic edibles are consumed in the country. These organizations are responsible to make sure that the people consume exactly for what they are paying. The rigorous working model of these food organizations is also to create awareness among the consumers. Some of these are owned by private companies and the others are direct government operated. Whatever the case is the end result is the same i.e. the consumer gets the best food to eat. The wellness of consumer is another factor which is associated with the idea. The consumer is given the idea about the nutrients required by the body. For this purpose, the wellness programs are also carried out by these organizations.
Natural and organic products are the ones which are promoted by this organization. It is dedicated to providing the right type of food for the right body. The organization is dedicated to the field of research as well. The living practices are also recommended to the communities and the organization also ensures that the implementation plans are also discussed. The food research is also done by the organization to make sure that wellness of different food qualities is conveyed to the consumers. The organization also conducts workshops and other fun-filled activities to attract families to the healthy lifestyle.
This organization works directly under the command and control of the Canadian Government. The best part of this association is that almost every food sector comes under the authority control of this association. The inspectors of the association periodically visit different food companies, their warehouses, and display centers. This ensures that the right process is being followed. The distributors of different companies also keep a constant touch with the organization to ensure that they get their distribution processes updated constantly. From livestock to dairy and from fish to other seafood the association keeps a very strict check and balance.
Healthy food, elimination of hunger and a food system that is in line with the latest processes are the main aims of the organization. There are many other food organizations which are directly connected to the organization. Food Secure Canada was established in 2001 and is a proud founder of the Cathleen Kneen Award. It is awarded to the associated organization which displays best food-related practice implementation. Food Secure Canada is an organization which is member based. Anyone can become a member to delve deep into the food subject of Canada. The Food Secure Canada believes that it is the right of everyone to have healthy and appropriate food.
It is a charitable origination which ensures that healthy food is given to the underprivileged sectors of the society. The food donations are given by the members of the organization and these members also collect the donations from the doorsteps. Food Banks Canada has provincial wise offices which can be visited to become a member of donating food if anyone wants.

Die Saison 2019/20 der Österreichischen Eishockeyliga begann am 13. September 2019 und endete am 8. März 2020. Die Play-offs wurden wegen der Coronavirus-Pandemie 2019/2020 abgebrochen, daher wurde kein Meister ermittelt.

Im Vorfeld

Teilnehmende Mannschaften
Elf Clubs haben für die Saison 2019/20 gemeldet. Der tschechische Club Orli Znojmo gab zunächst nach Disputen um eine Benachteiligung bei Schiedsrichtern und TV-Geldern keine Meldung für die neue Saison ab, nannte aber im April 2019 nach.
Der kroatische Vertreter KHL Medveščak Zagreb stellte nach dem Grunddurchgang 2018/19 den Spielbetrieb ein und wechselt zur Saison 2019/20 in die International Hockey League.

Der AHL-Club VEU Feldkirch hatte Anfang 2019 eine Bewerbung zur EBEL-Teilnahme eingereicht, die aber Ende März zurückgezogen bzw. auf 2020 verschoben wurde. Als Grund wurde insbesondere die mangelnde Vorlaufzeit genannt.

Trainer
Der EC Red Bull Salzburg verpflichtete mit dem US-Amerikaner Matt McIlvane einen neuen Trainer, der die Nachfolge des während der Vorjahressaison entlassenen Greg Poss antreten sollte. Der EHC Linz verlängerte den Vertrag des ebenfalls erst im Saisonverlauf verpflichteten Tom Rowe, unter dem sich die Leistungen des Teams nach der Entlassung von Troy Ward deutlich verbessert hatten. Der EC VSV reagierte auf die schlechten Ergebnisse der Vorsaison und vergab den Posten des Cheftrainers trotz laufenden Vertrags mit Gerhard Unterluggauer an den Finnen Jyrki Aho.

E is our only child she is currently 3.5 and we have always, since before pregnancy, planned on home educating any children that we have.
It is our responsibility to provide an education for our child, suitable to her age and aptitude.
Report back to any authority.
Our day isn't governed by a school day... learning can happen at bath time, in our bed on a lazy weekend morning, at the dinner table, out on a walk in the car.
We have now moved onto some Roahl Dahl books. We get through 6 or 7 chapters at a time, I have to stop when my voice gets too hoarse to continue.
We have had birthday parties for dolls and teddies (which includes making and wearing party hats, wrapping a present and setting a birthday tea table) we also occasionally just have simple picnics, outside if the weather is good but sometimes on the livingroom floor.
The cbeebies section of the BBC website is amazing for pre-school computer games. For as important to have confidence on computers as it is being able to hold a pencil or look in a book.
The winter Olympics has proved a recent favourite, we never watch football (Yawn!) and haven't yet got her in to rugby. We enjoy watching them together and have a chat about what we see and if it looks fun. We talk about the animals in nature programmes and talk about where they live and what they eat.
If we see something we like (eg we recently saw an Irish Elk) we'll have a chat about it o the way home and use the computer, that evening to find photos/ artists impressions and more information... and usually discuss it further.
"We're very own planet" E announces.
Talking about countries and people. We are lucky to have family and friends who lived in, or are from, various corners of the globe. So we often talk about these places, using our friends as reference points.
This includes talking about why we eat certain foods and how we cook them. Sieving and mixing, weighing and measuring, touching and smelling and discussions of where the foods might come from, and what we grow in our garden.
We do a little number and letter recognition, occasionally she will ask about written words and we try to explain the sounds of the letters.... but, she is still only 3 and there is no need to rush into it.
We both have teachers in our families, we have friends who have either trained to be teachers or looked into it, we have neighbours who are teachers and work for the LEA.
Perhaps most think that we will 'come round' or change our minds.... and by all means if E makes the informed choice that she wants to go to school then she shall. But for now, this is something we are committed to and it is something we take seriously.
If you are thinking about home educating your child or you want to know a little more about home education the following links might be helpful.
