Nature and Art at a Small Museum
The grand and awkward moose is the most impressive creature I've ever seen. Although I've spotted quite a few cows––the female moose––on my land and in the woods around it, I've never seen a bull moose with a large rack. It took my first visit to the delightful Montshire Museum of Science to see this engaging specimen. The Montshire is a small natural history museum, located in Norwich, Vermont, a relatively new institution with many hands-on activities especially engaging for children. Another natural history museum in Vermont, The Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium, is a very different sort of place, a step into the 19th century, which I wrote about here.
The special exhibition that got me to the museum was "From the Mountains to the Sea: Plants, Trees, and Shrubs of New England", a juried show of work by members of the New England Society of Botanical Artists (see some examples below). But before going upstairs to the exhibit, I wandered around on the first floor, amid excited children enjoying the displays of native fish and amphibians. This Yellow Perch with bright orange lower fins was swimming about in front of an audience.
A Green Frog peaks out of its hiding place, blending in with the green life around it.
I loved seeing the Painted Turtles, which look like fierce prehistoric beasts, scary yet very decorative.
Bobbi Angell, Blue Flag; copper etching
A very different mood was in evidence in the exhibit of contemporary botanical drawings, one of loving and precise attentiveness. The aim of the New England Society of Botanical Artists is to "increase public awareness of the significance of preserving New England's native plants." This lovely etching seems to owe a great deal to the art of Japan in its simple yet dramatic composition.
Susan Sawyer, Black Ash, Five Winter Twigs; watercolor over graphite.
A seemingly mundane subject becomes fascinating by the small differences from twig to twig, with the group standing together, slightly leaning and curving, a harmonious quintet, with one amusing little pushy outgrowth.
Beverly Duncan, Autumn Remains - Pignut Hickory; watercolor and pencil on parchment.
The dried remains of leaves and nuts and insects achieve an eloquence through Duncan's careful looking and recording.
Kelly Leahy Radding, Nodding Ladies' Tresses Orchid, Schreber's Big Red Stem Moss, Running Clubmoss, Common Haircap Moss, detail; watercolor on parchment.
I love the delicacy of this drawing and its detailed observation. I learned that botanical drawing has a long history, with accurately drawn plants beginning most notably in 1530, with Otto Brunfels' Herbarium vivae eicones, illustrated with woodcuts by Hans Weiditz. Weiditz drew his plants from life, instead of copying older images as was the practice previously. Many books were produced in later years, some for practical reasons such as medicinal plants, but many for the sheer beauty of flowers. This show was full of ordinary beauty, found in things often overlooked.
There were other kinds of beauty to be seen upstairs at the Montshire, especially in their insect collections. The somewhat faded display of moths was quite amazing: 2000 species in Vermont! I loved the spotted black and white moths with their dramatic designs (click to enlarge).
While I was bent over the beetle display, enjoying the brilliant coloration and varied designs, I was joined in admiration by a 10 year old boy who enthusiastically pointed out his favorites. It was wonderful to see the kids having such a good time noticing things, learning about the world around them.
A very popular exhibit was of a non-native species of ant, a Leafcutter ant colony (some great photos at the link). The ants cut up leaves, carrying pieces many times their size to the fungus garden where the leaves are chewed and made into a paste; this paste becomes a fungus that the ants feed on. The organization of these ants is quite remarkable.
Walking outside the museum, I saw many water displays, all closed down for winter but watched over by a text from Leonardo da Vinci on water, "the driver of nature". He saw water as always changing: "Now it brings a conflagration, then it extinguishes; is warm and is cold; now it carries away, then it sets down......" (click on image to enlarge so you can read it). Water is all important and we are too careless with this precious resource.
The flowing water of the Connecticut River is alongside the museum, where I could see it from a very different vantage point than from that bridge in the distance which I cross to get to Hanover, NH. I could almost imagine the river wild as it was a few hundred years ago, with only native plants gracing its banks.

What a wonderful, many-layered experience. My drawing style does not lend itself to botanical observation but I am a great admirer of it. So these images were especially appreciated. I also should add that I once saw a mounted moose head with a big rack and was stunned by the sheer size of the creature — and that was only his head.
Altoon Sultan November 24, 2013 at 5:46 PM
Thanks, Linda; it was a wonderful visit. Moose are incredibly large animals. A couple of times, in different places, a young moose trotted alongside my car, its legs as tall as the top of the car. They are awkward looking, but very graceful in motion, with a light floating trot. They have no fear at all of humans, and why should they, being so large?
Deborah Barlow November 24, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Gorgeous and inspiring. Thank you Altoon. I had a think small weekend too, so this was so timely.
Thanks so much, Deborah. I didn't think this post would appeal to many people, so I'm very glad you and Linda enjoyed it.
Ravenna Taylor November 24, 2013 at 10:39 PM
It's a wonderful post. That drawing of the twigs especially speaks to me. Thanks for sharing the v.isit!
Altoon Sultan November 25, 2013 at 8:17 AM
Thank you, Ravenna. The twig drawing is wonderful, isn't it? it's by a friend of mine who told me about the show.
Mona Diane Conner November 25, 2013 at 9:35 AM
Kelly Leah Radding is an acquaintance of mine, and she is also a fellow egg tempera painter. It's very nice to see that you included her work in this museum review, it's lovely.
How nice that you know Radding, Mona; I thought her work was beautiful.
Julie Siegel November 27, 2013 at 11:09 PM
I liked Radding's piece too, but loved this post. In Sweden, we were accompanied by one and, as you say, the scale is not typical for our life. My mother-in-law has had moose give birth on her front lawn.
Altoon Sultan November 28, 2013 at 10:19 AM
That must have been an amazing experience, Julie, to see a moose give birth. I've seen a cow and her calf feeding behind my barn in spring, but never anything quite like the miracle of a birth.

We'll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Agricultural production news every morning.
In Africa, a start-up scene is taking shape, capable of lifting millions out of poverty by transforming the continent's largest industry: agriculture.
The African continent contains more than a quarter of the world's arable land, and farming contributes 15 per cent of its total gross domestic product, equivalent to $100bn a year, according to consultancy McKinsey. Yet a traditional, manual approach of smallholder farmers has kept yields below full capacity.
Now technological innovation is starting to help boost production. Precision Agriculture for Development (PAD), a Boston-based non-profit organisation, for example, uses text messaging to teach farmers in western Kenya how to use agricultural lime — which helps combat soil acidity — as well as how to fight the fall armyworm, a pest that tears through crops and destroys livelihoods.
PAD, which works in several countries including Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda, is one of a growing number of non-profit organisations and companies disseminating technology tools to transform the growing practices of smallholders — farmers with small plots of land relying almost exclusively on family labour.
The dual effects of climate change and population growth have thrust smart agriculture on to the agenda, as farmers and governments scramble to prepare for rising food demand.
"Providing farmers with information and recommendations tailored to their local soil, weather and market conditions could dramatically improve yields and net incomes for farmers," says Megan Sheahan, PAD's director of operations.
It says that its instructions via text message — including reminders about planting and weeding schedules — increased sugar cane yields in Kenya by 11.5 per cent.
Agricultural technology has already seen impressive uptake in the UK, US and Australia, where many growers now deploy a sophisticated range of drones, satellite data, soil sensors and internet-of-things-enabled devices.
But the UN notes that technology has caught on more slowly in the developing world, where four-fifths of food is produced by smallholders, because of a shortage of capital as well as lower rates of literacy and mobile telephony use.

Yet a cohort of indigenous African companies, as well as multinationals such as the Climate Corporation and institutions such as the World Bank, are exploring ways to adapt and broaden smart farming technologies to bring the precision agriculture revolution to the continent.
Zenvus, a start-up based in Owerri, the capital of the Nigerian state of Imo, collects and analyses vast amounts of soil data across Nigeria, offering tailored advice to farmers on what, when and how to plant. Its digital services allow smallholders to view real-time crop prices, raise capital and crowdfund on their computers and smart devices.
"This will have a tangible effect on poverty in Africa because most households and families are going to see higher incomes," says Ndubuisi Ekekwe, the company's founder.
AgroCenta, another platform, brings advice and weather forecasts to Ghanaian farmers and, most important, allows them to sell their crops digitally to large companies such as Nestlé and Diageo. "Smallholder farmers who trade on AgroCenta enjoy access to a structured market to trade, bypassing exploitative middlemen," says Francis Obirikorang, chief executive.
Meanwhile, in emerging agritech hub Kenya, SunCulture sells solar-powered pumps for affordable irrigation. Nairobi-based SolarFreeze has designed solar-powered cold storage units for farmers and traders. In Cameroon, AgroSpaces provides growers with live pricing data, giving them an advantage when they take their crops to market.
Internet penetration rates present the biggest obstacle to tech-based farming in Africa
Francis Obirikorang, AgroCenta
Yet obstacles remain even when the tools are made affordable to small-scale growers.
Lower literacy rates in rural areas mean the delivery of apps and services must be accompanied by extra time-consuming training.
In addition, telephony penetration rates vary wildly across sub-Saharan Africa, which in 2017 had an overall rate of 44 per cent, compared with a global average of 66 per cent. "Internet penetration rates present the biggest obstacle to tech-based farming in Africa," says Mr Obirikorang.
There are also concerns that new technologies might push smallholders towards harmful chemical-based farming methods, which boost yields in the short term but can deplete soils over time.
"Farming provides an extremely important livelihood so ensuring new technologies do not destroy jobs and incomes is vital," says Vicki Hird, campaign co-ordinator at Sustain, a food and environment consultancy.
Ultimately, the success of smart farming in sub-Saharan Africa will hinge on education, connectivity and financing, all of which depend on governments.
Agritech companies, however, are optimistic. "There is so much appetite for investment," says Mr Ekekwe. "It is the one area where many people believe we will see exponential growth."

The upcoming blood moon which is due to appear in close conjunction with the close passing of Mars could trigger several 'biblical events,' including the rapture, according to Christian astrology experts.
On July 27, the blood moon will appear at the same time Mars is visible in the night sky.
The two events have attracted lots of interest from Christian astrologists who claim it could be a sign of very big changes on planet earth.
Blue moons and lunar eclipses come and go, but the arrival of the "Super Blue Blood Moon" heralds chilling biblical signs for many.
However, one blogger believes it does not necessarily mean the apocalypse, but it could be a plethora of things.
The blogger, who gives his name as just Gary, was asked the question: "Do you think it is of note that Mars (Red Dragon, War Planet) aligns with this blood moon on July 27 as well?".
However, scientists have given a more simple explanation for the blood moon.
The blood moon is technically an eclipse, and the moon takes on a red tinge when it passes through the shadow cast by Earth.
Opposition is usually also marked by a planet being at its closest orbital point to Earth.

Channel 4 to remain publicly owned
By Colin Mann
Following the emergence of correspondence that suggested such a move was likely, Michelle Donelan, UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has decided not to privatise Channel 4 after reviewing the business case for its sale. The broadcaster will remain in public ownership but with greater commercial flexibility, increased investment in skills and jobs across the UK as well as new production arrangements to support its long-term sustainability and growth.
The government, following discussions with Channel 4 and the independent production sector, has confirmed an ambitious package of measures as an alternative to a sale. This includes reforms via the Media Bill which will eventually allow Channel 4 to make and own some of its content and a new statutory duty on its board members to protect the broadcaster's long-term financial sustainability. Channel 4 has also committed to increasing roles outside London and providing more opportunities for people from across the UK to gain experience in the sector as part of this package.
According to the DCMS, in common with UK broadcasters, Channel 4 is currently facing unprecedented competition for viewers, programmes and talent in an era of wealthy, global streaming platforms. The Secretary of State has decided that pursuing a sale is not the best option to ease the challenges facing Channel 4 nor to support growth in the UK's creative economy, especially the independent production sector. However, doing nothing also carries risks and the government believes change is necessary to ensure the corporation can thrive now and long into the future in a rapidly changing media landscape.
The package, finalised after listening to the views of Channel 4 and the wider broadcasting and independent production industries, will ensure the broadcaster remains focused on sustainability and has new opportunities to grow while serving audiences in the decades to come with high-quality, innovative and distinctive content.
"Channel 4 is a British success story and a linchpin of our booming creative industries," said Donelan. "After reviewing the business case and engaging with the relevant sectors I have decided that Channel 4 should not be sold."
"This announcement will bring huge opportunities across the UK with Channel 4's commitment to double their skills investment to £10 million (€11.2m) and double the number of jobs outside of London. The package will also safeguard the future of our world leading independent production sector. We will work closely with them to add new protections such as increasing the amount of content C4C must commission from independent producers.
Relaxing the publisher-broadcaster restriction
Under current legislation, Channel 4 is more limited than other public service broadcasters in its ability to make and own its own content. It operates as a publisher-broadcaster, meaning that all its shows are commissioned or acquired from third parties – such as independent producers or other broadcasters – who typically retain the rights to those programmes.
This has been central to Channel 4's role over the last 40 years in developing the UK's independent production sector, which is now worth £3 billion. The government continues to consider this an essential element of our thriving broadcasting ecology and the wider economy. However, this model also makes Channel 4 more reliant on advertising revenue than many of its competitors which have been able to diversify their revenue by investing in content production.
The government wishes to give Channel 4 more commercial flexibility in this area, while also ensuring that Channel 4 continues to play its key role in incubating and supporting the independent production sector, which often includes new and highly-innovative companies. The government will therefore legislate through the Media Bill to relax the publisher-broadcaster restriction in Channel 4's remit so it has a greater ability to produce and monetise its own content, accessing a wider range of potential strategic options that could put it on a more stable financial footing by growing its commercial income.
In determining how this relaxation should be designed and implemented, the government will work closely with the independent production sector to consider necessary steps to ensure that Channel 4's important role in driving investment into the sector is safeguarded.
Any changes to Channel 4's commissioning model would need to be introduced gradually, with appropriate checks and balances, and following consultation with the sector. For example, this will include increasing the level of Channel 4's independent production quota, which is currently set at 25 percent of programmes; and potentially introducing specific protections for smaller independent producers.
Increased investment in skills and new roles
Channel 4 has agreed to enhance its support for the independent TV production sector and regional roles and skills. It will increase its annual investment in 4Skills – its paid training and placement programme for young people – from £5 million to £10 million by 2025. It will double its number of roles outside London from its original target of 300 to reach 600 roles across the UK in 2025. This will include roles in Channel 4's national HQ in Leeds, as well as in Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and potentially elsewhere.
Greater access to capital
To enable Channel 4 to make investments that could put it on a more sustainable footing, the DCMS will make it easier and simpler for Channel 4 to draw down on its £75 million credit facility. In the event it pursues more ambitious investment opportunities to promote the corporation's long term sustainability, DCMS will support Channel 4 to access more private capital under its current borrowing limit of £200 million set in law – while taking steps to minimise the risk to public finances. DCMS will also consider future requests to raise the organisation's borrowing limit if appropriate.
Long-term sustainability
A new statutory duty for the corporation's board will be created through the Media Bill. The obligation on the corporation's leadership to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of Channel 4 will be enshrined in law, alongside their existing duties to ensure the broadcaster delivers valuable public service programming. Delivery of this duty will be evidenced via increased financial reporting by Channel 4, and as a report which Channel 4 will provide to the Secretary of State as part of its Annual Report.
An updated and publicly available Memorandum of Understanding between the government and Channel 4 will reflect the intention to legislate for this new statutory duty of sustainability.
Alongside the changes to Channel 4, the Media Bill will introduce a wide range of measures to modernise decades-old broadcasting regulations, including prominence reform to increase the growth potential of the UK's public service broadcasters and foster innovations in the way TV is produced and consumed. Further details on the Media Bill will be announced in due course.
Channel 4 had earlier responded to the leaked correspondence.
Responding to the news, Dyfrig Davies, Chair of TAC (Teledwyr Annibynnol Cymru), which represents the independent television production sector in Wales said: "TAC welcomes the fact that the UK Government has decided not to privatise Channel 4, as we have campaigned hard against this move.
We also welcome any increase in Channel 4's commitments to the nations and regions and would support its spend on training being increased. It is important that the production sector in Wales sees the benefits of this expanded activity, alongside other areas of the UK.
However, there are concerns at the proposal that Channel 4's publisher-broadcaster model relaxed, as this would reduce the opportunities for the independent production sector to make programmes for the broadcaster. This could create economic uncertainty for some companies in the sector, especially smaller companies.
We are pleased that the DCMS Secretary of State has committed to consulting with the industry and we look forward to playing a full part in that process. We need to ensure that Channel 4 continues to be a significant driver for the independent production sector in Wales."

At its March 2017 meeting, the CHPA board has authorized replacing Market Exchange with an expanded Meet the Manufacturer program in 2017. CHPA will proceed to develop two new events, one focused on marketing and one on supply chain, for 2018.
This decision was not made lightly. After carefully reviewing the results of attendee surveys from our most recent Market Exchange, it became apparent that this meeting no longer provides our members the business value it once did. Overall satisfaction with the event was rated as a 3 out of 5, significantly lower than other CHPA meetings. This led staff to conduct in-depth conversations with manufacturer and associate members, many of whom further reinforced the need for CHPA to replace this program with something that would create more value for members. Traditionally, the target audiences for Market Exchange have been individuals who work in marketing, supply chain, and operations for manufacturers, along with associate members who support those functions. It is our intention to replace this event with two new events in 2018 to serve the unique needs of these two audiences.
In 2017, CHPA will host an expanded version of our highly successful Meet the Manufacturer – now to include four manufacturers rather than just two. This program is open to associate members only. CHPA is pleased to announce that Johnson & Johnson Consumer, Inc., is the first of the four manufacturers committed to being a part of this program. Meet the Manufacturer will take place on the same dates and location as Market Exchange was planned to have been held – September 13-14, 2017, at the Hyatt Regency Princeton in Princeton, New Jersey. More details will be forthcoming shortly as the program is finalized.


In January, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD instigated a planned crackdown on the use of electric bikes–two-wheelers powered with the assist of a motor–which are technically illegal to use in the city, but are often overlooked. When the mayor announced the impending enforcement last fall, he hailed it as a victory for Vision Zero, the city's effort to make streets safer and end traffic deaths.
Except that no data exists to support the idea that e-bikes, and the people who ride them, are a true threat to safety. What is true–and what de Blasio all but ignored in his original messaging–is that e-bike users are largely immigrant delivery workers. They depend on the extra boost of power from e-bike motors to be able to complete their grueling shifts (often 12 hours and dozens of miles a day, seven days a week). The crackdown, advocates argued, brought them into unnecessary conflict with law enforcement and threatened their livelihoods. If a worker's bike—which can cost around $1,000—were confiscated, he could lose a month's wages trying to get it back.
Since the crackdown, advocates have called for de Blasio to take a different approach and legalize e-bikes. This week, he seems to have finally listened: E-bikes that operate via a pedal assist motor (which activates the boost only when a rider is already pedaling) and go no faster than 20 mph will now be legal on New York City streets, mirroring decisions already made in cities like San Francisco and Paris.
However, e-bikes whose motors propel them forward without pedaling will remain illegal. Streetsblog points out that the onus is now on the NYPD to understand the difference between the two models and ensure that officers don't unfairly target workers riding pedal-assist bikes.
This is a first step–not an end to the issue–and without an effort on the part of City Hall to reach out to workers about the clarification, it doesn't go far enough.

Impact of head and neck radiotherapy on the longevity of dental adhesive restorations: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Statement of problem: Established restorative protocols for patients after head and neck radiotherapy are lacking, increasing the failure rates of dental adhesive restorations. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the evidence regarding the impact of head and neck radiotherapy on the longevity of dental adhesive restorations. Material and methods: A search was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and Embase in May 2018 (updated in November 2020). Data extraction was performed regarding the percentage of restoration failure among dental adhesive materials, including glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass ionomer cements, and composite resins. Risk of bias was assessed by the meta-analysis of statistics assessment and review instrument (MAStARI). Confidence in cumulative evidence was evaluated by the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) protocol. Results: Four studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies were classified as having a moderate risk of bias and reported results regarding class V restorations. Overall, composite resins presented lower failure rates at 2 years (30%) when compared with resin-modified glass ionomer (41%) and glass ionomer cements (57%). Meta-analysis showed that the risk of failure with glass ionomer cements was greater than with resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RR: 1.71, P<.001). Composite resins presented lower risk of failure when compared with glass ionomer (RR: 2.29, P<.001) and resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RR: 1.30, P=.03). Three studies reported results regarding fluoride compliance, which had a negative effect on the survival rates of glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer cements and a positive effect on composite resin restorations. Conclusions: The results suggest that composite resin restorations associated with fluoride gel compliance seems to be the best alternative for restoring class V lesions in patients after head and neck radiotherapy. However, the results showed moderate certainty of evidence, which justifies the need for more randomized clinical trials regarding this subject.

Random House Head Gina Centrello to Retire
Gina Centrello
(photo: Sigrid Estrada)
After a 40-year career, including the last 20 years as head of the Random House Publishing Group, Gina Centrello plans to retire as president and publisher of Random House and become a strategic adviser to the U.S. board of Penguin Random House.
"This was not a decision I came to lightly," she wrote in a letter to staff. "Over the past few years, I've spent a lot of time thinking about my future, and when the right moment might be for me to transition to a new way of leading. I've come to believe that that moment is now. This decision is, of course, bittersweet. I have truly loved leading Random House, and publishing books that matter and inspire change, books that entertain and thrill, and books that help us to be better people. I have relished watching your growth, as well, and I am excited that a new generation of brilliant publishing leaders and managers--the best in the business, as far as I'm concerned--will continue to thrive and soar in the years to come."
In a letter to staff, PRH U.S. CEO Madeline McIntosh said in part, "Gina's career has been defined by her insatiable curiosity, nurturing mindset, ability to attract and retain talent, keen negotiation skills, and a commitment to developing innovative programs and solutions to match a rapidly evolving marketplace...
"Gina and her publishers have achieved excellence across an extraordinary breadth of categories in fiction, narrative nonfiction and lifestyle. Year in and year out, Random House is home not only to innumerable bestsellers, but also to winners of the highest literary accolades and books that shape the cultural conversation...
"Of all her many accomplishments, the enduring hallmark of Gina's tenure will be the impact she has had on us as people. I know I'm only one of many indebted to her for her mentorship; I'm grateful for every minute of the support she has provided me, her peers, her employees, and our authors."
McIntosh noted that while the company plans for Centrello's succession, Bill Takes, executive v-p, business strategy, will be responsible for making sure "everything continues to run smoothly and successfully on a day-to-day basis."
Centrello began her career as a proofreader in the early 1980s. She then joined Pocket Books as a copy editor and in 1994 was named head of the imprint. In 1999, she became president and publisher of Ballantine Books.

Psalm 37:35 I've already seen this happen. Once I saw a wicked and violent man overpower all who were around him, a domineering tyrant with his pride and oppressive ways. I saw Wicked bloated like a toad, croaking pretentious nonsense. The next time I looked there was nothing— a punctured bladder, vapid and limp. I have seen a wicked, violent man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a tree in its native soil. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. I saw a wicked and cruel man who looked strong like a healthy tree in good soil. I have seen the wicked in great power, And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a luxuriant native tree I have seen a wicked, violent man [with great power] Spreading and flaunting himself like a cedar in its native soil I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.

Ground: St George's Park, Port Elizabeth
Scorecard: South Africa v England
Player: JM Anderson, AN Petersen, GC Smith, IJL Trott
Event: England in South Africa 2009/10
DateLine: 29th November 2009
When Graeme Smith said before the match that the his side is going to be ruthless against England in the fourth ODI he never expected England to perform in such a manner. England was ruthless with the ball, excellent in the field and clinical with the bat as they overwhelmed a stunned South African side. James Anderson's maiden five-fer in his ODI career pretty much sealed the deal for the English side while Trott ensured that England did not suffer from any dramatic collapse during the chase.
Graeme Smith won the toss again and he had no hesitation to bat first on a pitch that had appreciable grass coupled with cloud-cover. But Strauss conceded that he would have bowled first on such a track and soon the South African skipper realised his folly. Anderson's first over indicated nothing as to the carnage that was about to follow. Broad who had a horror outing in the previous match was able to find the fuller length to trap a shuffling Smith (2) right in front of the stumps and from there on the English foot was firmly on the throat of South Africans. Both the opening bowlers dished out short-pitched bowling at Amla hoping that he would play a rash pull shot but the elegant right-hander held firm. Amla and the last match hero de Villiers joined to try and revive the innings they struck a couple of boundaries to ease the pressure. Anderson was creamed for a couple of boundaries in an over but the right arm swing bowler had his revenge. After delivering some short-pitched deliveries he bowled a fuller length with some swing into Amla (11) who flicked elegantly towards midwicket but Swann was positioned perfectly for that shot and the ball simply landed in his palms as South Africa lost their second wicket. Duminy (6) once again struggled for timing and he was put out of his misery when a slower bouncer from Anderson flummoxed the southpaw who gently lobbed the ball to keeper Prior behind the stumps.
The South African team expected de Villiers to shore up the batting that was falling apart but de Villiers fell to Bresnan who after realising the folly of pitching short changed his length to a much fuller one to trap a static de Villiers (22) before the stumps. Boucher and Petersen then set about repairing the innings with Boucher playing some aggressive shots to try and force the English bowlers onto the defensive who by now was bowling to an aggressive field. Petersen too freed his arms to put the English bowlers off their rhythm but the English bowlers were relentless. The English bowlers kept up the pressure before Anderson delivered to Boucher (13) what could be the ball of the innings. He squared up the pugnacious keeper with an outswinger that pitched on the middle and off and swung a little bit to beat the defensive bat of Boucher and kiss the edge of off-stump to dislodge the bail as South Africa sunk further and the stunned silence of the stadium was deafening. Ryan McLaren continued with his run of ducks when he steered an pout swinger from Anderson straight to Collingwood at backward point as the South African scoreboard showed an embarrassing 78 for 6 in 23 overs. Anderson then finished his quota of ten overs with a well-deserved five-fer when he produced a beautiful bouncer for Botha (1) who was only good enough to graze the ball through to the keeper.
Petersen was running out of partner and he had no option but to claim the batting Power-play so that he could score some runs but instead it back-fired. Collingwood claimed his 100th ODI wicket when he had Parnell (1) square drive a wide ball only for Strauss at backward point to fling himself to the left to pluck a stunner. Morne Morkel (7) hung around for some-time before an off-cutter from Collingwood trapped the tall left-hander leg-before. Petersen completed a well-composed fifty and was so far the only bright spot in a gloomy scorecard. Trying to score some runs before the last wicket falls Petersen was a victim of another stupendous catch this time from Wright at mid-on who timed his leap to perfection and plucked a stunning full-stretch chance as South Africa was rolled up for their lowest-ever total in a home ODI.
England had around 30 minutes to bat before the scheduled break and it was a perfect opportunity for the home-side to pick up a wicket or two. But what they came across was a confident pair of Strauss and Trott who knocked off 31 runs in 7 overs before the break. After the break the English openers continued to toil with the South African pacer attack as none of the home-side pacers barring the tall Morne Morkel were able to create any sort of pressure on the English batsmen. Morkel troubled the English skipper with the bounce that he could generate from a good length as he was able to keep Strauss in his shell for a long period of time. Smith rotated his pacers around in hope that they would bring about a change in fortune but the English opening pair was just too good for the bowlers that Smith had at his disposal.
The pair put on 74 for the first wicket and looked like they would record a comprehensive ten-wicket win over South Africa but Botha disrupted their plans. Botha trapped Strauss (32) leg-before with a well disguised arm ball but the not so excited celebrations from the South African side betrayed the evaporating self-belief. Things could have been better for the home-side had Morkel held onto a skier from Pietersen when he hooked a short-pitched delivery from McLaren to fine-leg before he had opened his account. But that drop did not cost much when the flamboyant right-hander chipped lamely to de Villiers at midwicket of Botha to be dismissed for just 2 to give some cheer to the South African camp. The cheer then gave way to hope when McLaren was able to induce an edge from Collingwood (2) but it was just a mirage.
Trott was joined by an innovative Morgan who soon dispelled the South African surge with some lovely shots to the boundary fence while the former trotted to a composed fifty of 73 balls. Morgan had the luxury of sealing the match with a boundary and with it England took the lead 2-1 in the series.

The Norris Rancho
What Was Life Like?
Usually California ranchos began as Spanish or Mexican grants. But one in the San Ramon Valley came about a different way and it is sometimes called the Norris Rancho.
By Beverly Lane
This 4,451-acre parcel was the first successful land purchase by an American in the valley and was carved from the Amador rancho beginning in 1851.
The Norris Rancho name is one example of the way people folded Spanish terms into life after statehood in 1850. The Spanish word "alcalde" is another. This combination of mayor and judge, was applied to Alamo's Silas Stone, who was an older, highly respected man.
Mildred Hoover in Historic Spots in California describes Norris and his purchase:
"When Leo Norris came to the rancho in the autumn of 1850, he found a branch of the Soto family residing in an adobe house then standing about 150 yards from the site of his (eventual) residence. Apparently these were brothers of Rafaela Soto de Pacheco who planned to settle there, but they moved elsewhere when all their horses were stolen by Indians.
"Leo Norris lived at Mission San Joe from June 1847 until the early autumn of 1850 when he and his son William migrated to the San Ramon Valley. With them went their cousin, William Lynch, a native of New York, who had landed in San Francisco on June 28, 1849, from the pilot boat W. A. Hackstaff. Lynch was a journeyman carpenter and practiced his trade in San Francisco before going out to the fertile valley of San Ramon, where he aided Norris in erecting his house, the first frame dwelling in the valley.
"It was constructed from lumber hauled from the San Antonio redwoods by the long and tedious route through Mission San Jose, Sunol Valley, and Amador's (now Dublin). In spite of this roundabout journey, the house was ready for occupancy before the winter. The old Norris dwelling, which stood on Norris Canyon Road at the mouth of the canyon, about half a mile west of San Ramon Valley Boulevard, was destroyed by fire in 1951."
Leo and Mary Jane Norris and family had immigrated to Alta California in 1846. That year other early San Ramon Valley included Joel Harlan and Minerva Fowler (who later married Joel) and Mary Ann and John M. Jones of Alamo. The Harlan and Glass families bought land from Norris in 1852 and 1859 while later immigrant Christian Wiedemann may have purchased Norris rancho land in the 1860s.
Leo Norris recalled later that they arrived two weeks before Christmas of 1850, a few months after California statehood. At first, life on their ranch was similar to Mexican rancho life with a reliance on cattle grazing, later evolving to hay and grain cultivation.
Life in San Ramon during the 1850s was rugged with travel and work done on horseback. Elk and antelope were abundant and grizzly bears were always around. James Smith recalled William Norris as one of the best horsemen he had ever seen with an elegance of style and a lasso expertise which few could rival. Norris probably learned his skills from Mexicans in the area since he evidently used a riata (leather woven rope). Smith: "I have seen many who were expert with the riata doing fancy roping, but William Norris was the most expert in a corral, roping the feet to cast the animal for branding, that I ever saw."
When American courts verified land ownership beginning in the 1850s, the Norris ranch included 4,451 acres (one square league) and Amador's San Ramon Rancho included 16, 517 acres (four square leagues). The map which accompanied the court judgment (1862) shows the Norris Rancho in the northwest corner.

What type of shopping do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer to go to the big box stores to look for a bargain or do you want to go to a high-end shop and spend extra money? This isn't a question to make you feel guilty about feeling one way or another, there are both good and bad in either choice. If you happen to be somebody that loves shopping at the high-end boutiques, however, you still need to do your research and avoid overspending.
As an example, how much would you expect to pay for a quality pair of shoes from a reputable brand? More than likely, you would pay extra because you know you were getting quality. At the same time, if you find yourself sometimes paying extra for shoes that are inscribed with the brand of an unrecognizable designer, you may be falling victim to paying way too much money.
Payless shoe store is known for being at the forefront of offering discount shoes. They decided to show the dilemma of shopping at a high-quality store by conducting a unique social experiment. They put together a launch party for a fake brand of footwear, known as Palessi. They then invited a bunch of fashion influencers to come to check out the overly expensive, yet fake footwear.
When everyone came for the party, the store was stocked with Payless shoes but the prices were set at over $600 per pair for some of those discount items.
You probably wouldn't be surprised to learn that the influencers went crazy for the fake designer shoes. They dropped hundreds of dollars to walk out of the store with some on their feet or in a bag. Payless decided to do more than just take their money, they filmed the entire scene, including the shocked reaction of those who overpaid for the footwear.
