Poweshiek County Farmer's Approach for Clean Water
English River, In The News, Spotlight
By: Margot Dick, IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering Communications Assistant
Over time, both New Zealand and Iowa have moved from their native ecology to a more intensively managed, agriculture-based ecosystem. In New Zealand, the water ran clear as recently as 20 years ago, whereas in Iowa, environmental challenges date back more than a generation. Mark Kennett was born in New Zealand but moved to the United States with his wife after completing school.
Mark Kennett and wife in New Zealand
They both come from farming families — Kennett's in New Zealand and his wife's in Iowa. Together, they now run her family farm in Poweshiek County a few miles outside of Grinnell. After living most of his life as a farmer in these two locations, Kennett has a unique perspective on the changes he has witnessed.
Kennett does his part to make sure he is heard in the community, serving on at least six separate boards representing his county and personal interests. Kennett says it's the neighborly thing to do because in a small, rural community, finding people to take on leadership positions can be difficult.
"People are busy, and it takes a lot of involvement to satisfy all the county government roles that need to be executed," Kennett says.
Kennett has been an active member of the English River Watershed Management Authority board since its creation in 2013. On this board, he represents the Poweshiek County Soil and Water Conservation District. He saw the value in creating a group dedicated to connecting communities along the same body of water. Generally, the fate of water is unknown once it passes over county lines simply because counties do not discuss their shared waterway.
Kennett saw the position as a way to open up lines of discussion between the people who rely so heavily on a shared water source. He stresses the importance of keeping everyone's interests in mind, especially when they make an effort to voice an opinion. He especially enjoys interacting with the young adults because when young people get involved in politics, they can help shape their own futures.

Kennett found that life in a relatively small watershed makes everyone more aware of the consequences of water-quality and water-quantity issues. While Poweshiek County sat dry at the top of the hill, excess water flowed away down into Kalona and Riverside, affecting the communities in a direct and visible way. Open lines of communication between the communities allows the towns to discuss the issues and work toward a common goal of reducing flood impacts.
"We're very fortunate in the English that it's relatively small. We see the top of it and the lower reaches of the watershed, and the performance of one helps or hinders the other," Kennett says.
Water quality is quickly becoming an important issue in today's political mainstream, with agriculture typically taking the brunt of the criticism. As a farmer, Kennett has a first-hand perspective on the issue. New technology designed and tested in New Zealand to measure nitrates in the soil will soon be available with the hope that it can reduce nutrient loss from the fields. Kennett is hopeful that technology such as this can help farmers while also improving water quality.
Moving forward, Kennett hopes Iowans will treat water sources with more respect. He believes a focus on the benefits of water will create a culture that protects natural resources rather than simply using them as a waste elimination tool. New Zealand puts time and energy into water recreation, something Iowa lacks. Policy, technology, and young adults are vital to change the culture around water in Iowa moving forward.

Capel Manor College Welcomes New Mottingham Campus
The Joint Education Administrators have concluded a contract for the transfer of provision and educationally related assets with Capel Manor College. The contract relates exclusively to provision at Mottingham, London.
The contract accords with the recommendation of the Further Education Commissioner and has been subject to extensive two-way due diligence, transitional and implementation planning.
Following extensive due diligence, the Governing Body of Capel Manor College has formally agreed to the transfer of Hadlow's Mottingham Campus, including all staff, students and facilities, from 1st January 2020.
Commenting on this, Malcolm Goodwin, Principal of Capel Manor College, said:
"At Capel Manor College we are passionate about supporting London's natural environment and offering opportunities to students to gain the best possible skills and experience and move into rewarding land-based careers. These include working with animals, wildlife, conservation and biodiversity, protecting and improving London's trees and woodlands, designing and enhancing our green spaces and gardens, creating first-class floristry and events, helping us adapt to climate change and sustainably growing high-quality food for our futures.
"We are truly excited by the inclusion of the Mottingham Campus in our existing family of campuses across Greater London. We look forward to working with the staff and the students, as well as the local community and wider stakeholders, on the development of the Mottingham Campus. Together we will shape a future for people passionate about nature, the natural environment and London."
Graham Morley, Interim Principal of Hadlow College, said:
"The transfer of the Mottingham Campus to Capel Manor College is an important step towards the eventual resolution of the financial issues facing Hadlow College, and removes some of the uncertainty for both the staff and students with regards to the future direction of the campus.
"It is, however, also sad to have to say goodbye to valued colleagues, all of whom have displayed the highest levels of professionalism in exceptionally challenging times. Without their daily efforts and commitment to their students, this transfer would not have been possible. My sincere thanks and best wishes for the future goes to them."
The Mottingham Campus currently has:
186 students enrolled full-time and studying for either a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 Animal Management qualification.
23 staff working as either lecturers or support staff
Capel Manor College is a London-based college with five other campuses. They have around 3,000 students and 300 staff, specialising in land-based education up to degree level in a range of subjects related to the natural environment, animal management and wildlife conservation.
The vision for the Mottingham Campus is for it to be fully-integrated into Capel Manor College, whilst retaining its distinct identity and local responsiveness. The Mottingham Campus will work closely with the Crystal Palace Park Campus to offer a complementary curriculum with shared learning and enrichment opportunities.
The curriculum at the Mottingham campus will, under Capel Manor College, remain as it is in the short-term. New curriculum and new pathways will be developed, in consultation with the local community and stakeholders, which will create exciting new opportunities for both study and teaching.
The resources at Mottingham will be enhanced to create a unique experience and opportunity for students and the local community. The grounds will be used to develop horticulture, garden design, turf management, environmental conservation and arboriculture courses.

The My Library campaign features timely, real-life library stories highlighting University of Idaho students and little-known library services by asking, "What does your library look like?" We hope sharing real student experiences will help reveal solutions to your educational needs and expand your perception of the possibilities at the library!
The U of I Library is known mainly for books and studying but that perception is not the whole story. The library is a foundational powerhouse of information, ideas, tools, services, spaces, and more, available to EVERY U of I student. Browse our featured stories, share your story, or learn more below.
My Library has a variety of free resources that really add up to great savings. Knowing these services are available when I need them makes life as a student less stressful. I can use textbooks at the library rather than buying them myself! The library has a huge DVD collection I can use and I can check out video cameras for projects. These are just some of the resources that have helped me. The more I learn about what my library has to offer, the more impressed I am.
My library, through the Think Open Fellowship, helps lower the cost of education to students and gives me an idea of what other people are successfully using in the classroom and who I can seek out for help.

There Were Three Versions of the First Issue of Cards From Red Rose
Sometimes when something new is getting set up and designed, last minute and unexpected changes can happen. This seems evident with Red Rose and their first series of tea cards. That series was Song Birds of North America. Of course we know that Red Rose only offered the first series in Canada (not the US) and there are three variations of that first series of tea cards.
The three versions of cards have sections on the back stating:
Mount your collection. Send .25¢ for colorful wall chart.
Albums available at your grocer's or from us - price .25¢
SAVE YOUR CARDS IN A COLORFUL ALBUM! AVAILABLE AT YOUR GROCER'S OR FROM US - .25¢
One thing we don't know is what order the different versions were offered in, whether they were offered at the same time or if they were staggered over time.
When you just look at the three variations of cards, nothing emerges to answer if there is any order to the variations.
The first suggests you place your cards on a wall chart, then the next brags of albums at the grocer or at Red Rose. The last says to save your cards in an album and get those albums at the grocer or Red Rose.
I have always been confused by the first variation. It says you can mount your collection. Then it says to buy a colorful wall chart. Are you supposed to mount the cards on your wall chart? I believe that was the message. To go a step further, let's see what the French above the message says. It translates as "Keep your collection on a wall map with descriptions. Only 25¢" This seems like a clear call to paste your cards on that wall chart.
This leads me to believe it was the first variation to appear in the tea. I don't believe the album was originally planned. In my world they start with just a wall chart and cards but latter decide that the wall chart be left as a wall chart and the album was developed. Since the cards about mounting on the wall charts had already been printed and distributed, something had to be done to change course. A second set was printed, perhaps the one yelling "SAVE YOUR CARDS IN A COLORFUL ALBUM...". I know I have no proof to support my theory... or do I?
Let's say I was right and they started with wall charts, perhaps figured they were too expensive, and then switched to albums. Maybe they figured albums with extra facts appealed more to young collectors. Perhaps the cards didn't stick well to the shiny wall charts.
What about proof that Red Rose changed their minds?
There is a really unusual album insert that I have only seen twice in my over 30 years of collecting. Just recently on eBay in mid December '21 a series 1 Songbirds album showed up. It was the matte finish kind with the Brooke Bond Canada Limited Red Rose marks on the back.
The album was empty but not in great shape. The staples were rusty and there was water damage throughout. But the most interesting thing about the auction was an insert in the album that was a typewritten form from Red Rose (Brooke Bond Canada) stating that they are making a change. A change? What does it say? It tells you that the tea cards say to get a wall chart for .25¢. After these cards were printed Red Rose decided to substitute an album for a wall chart for mounting your collection. Hmmm, this seems like just what I was saying.
I'm not the only one who saw the significance of this album. Several folks fought for it on eBay and the winner spent $90 plus another $30 to ship the prize home. Not bad for an album and insert in poor condition.
You know I said I've seen two of these albums with the prize insert inside. I've described the one on eBay... the other is mine. It's in much better shape and for sale at a bargain price. Check it out (four items down on the list). I only have one and there are very few left in the world.
What does this form prove?
So what does this newly identified collectable mean? This form in the album means a couple of things. First, it is a new rare thing to collect. A fourth version of the albums that are very clearly the first albums to have been issued for series 1 and hard to collect. It also proves that the "Mount Your Collection..." cards of the first series are actually the first version issued.
How cool is that!?

Adam Scott grouped with Jason Dufner, Matt Fitzpatrick for Masters
Written By Nicholas McGee

Australian Scott claimed the 2013 title by beating Argentina's Angel Cabrera in a play-off, and starts the defence of his crown at Augusta on Thursday.

The 33-year-old is set to tee of with American Dufner, who will be gunning for his second major title after winning the PGA Championship in 2013.
But the experience will be a new one for 19-year-old Fitzpatrick, making his first appearance at The Masters following a tied 44th finish at last year's British Open.
Two more of last year's major winners will start their respective quests for the green jacket together, with Phil Mickelson, winner of the British Open in 2013 and a three-time champion at Augusta, grouped with reigning US Open champion Justin Rose and four-time major winner Ernie Els.
Bubba Watson, winner in 2012, features in a talented group that also contains former world number one Luke Donald and Spain's world number six Sergio Garcia.
Sweden's Henrik Stenson enjoyed an impressive 2013 season, becoming the first player to win both the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup and the European Tour's Race to Dubai, but the world number three has yet to win a major and starts his Masters campaign alongside world number four Jason Day and home hope Dustin Johnson.

Enterkine House comes with 74 acres of land.
A luxury 4-star country house hotel in Ayrshire has been put up for sale for offers over £1.48m.
Enterkine House overlooking the valley of the River Ayr comes with 74 acres of land as part of the Enterkine estate.
The hotel is known for its cuisine under head chef Paul Moffat and has two AA Rosette Awards.
Property consultancies Christie & Co and Galbraith are jointly marketing the property.
Bob Cherry, a partner with Galbraith, said Enterkine was a thriving hotel business with potential for further development.
"The purchaser of Enterkine would find it relatively straightforward to continue the current business, which is well-established, and there are further opportunities for diversification or expansion of the tourism and events facilities on the estate, subject to the necessary consents," he added.
The sale includes Kirk House and steading, a substantial six-bedroom traditional farmhouse, currently used as overspill accommodation for the hotel, with the potential to reinstate the farmhouse as a separate dwelling. There is also a Victorian gate lodge with views over the adjacent countryside and a 2.5-acre area of land suitable for use as a pony paddock.
Enterkine's grounds include a range of modern and traditional buildings offering potential for development under a new owner.
Ayrshire tourist attractions include Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick golf courses and the yacht marinas at Troon, Ardrossan and Largs. Alloway, south of Ayr, is also famous as the birthplace of Robert Burns.

WASHINGTON — The United States is switching its priority to countering Chinese and Russian military might after almost two decades of focusing on the fight against terrorism, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday, unveiling a national defense strategy that Pentagon officials say will provide a blueprint for years to come.
The new strategy echoes — on paper, if not in tone — a national security blueprint offered last month in which President Trump described rising threats to the United States from an emboldened Russia and China, as well as from what was described as rogue governments like North Korea and Iran.
But where Mr. Trump struck a campaign tone during the unveiling of his national security strategy, with references to building a wall along the southern border with Mexico, Mr. Mattis took a more sober route by sticking to the more traditional intellectual framework that has accompanied foreign policy doctrines of past administrations.
Drawing inspiration from Winston Churchill, who once said that the only thing harder than fighting with allies is fighting without them, Mr. Mattis said that the United States must strengthen its alliances with other powers.
Unlike Mr. Trump, who said Russia and China "seek to challenge American influence, values and wealth" without mentioning Russian interference in the 2016 election, Mr. Mattis appeared to take direct aim at Russia. "To those who would threaten America's experiment in democracy: If you challenge us, it will be your longest and worst day," he said.
In seeking to shift the military emphasis to Russia and China after years fighting terrorism, the Trump administration is echoing many of the same pronouncements made by the Obama administration, which famously sought to pivot to Asia after years of fighting in Iraq. But the rise of the Islamic State, which declared a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, put a stop to the Asia pivot talk in Mr. Obama's final years in office.
Now a new administration is again seeking to leave the terrorism fight behind. Mr. Mattis described increased "global volatility and uncertainty, with great power competition between nations a reality once again." He declared the defeat of the Islamic State's physical caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
"We will continue to prosecute the campaign against terrorists, but great power competition — not terrorism — is now the primary focus of U.S. national security," Mr. Mattis said.
But the United States is still at war in Afghanistan, where Mr. Trump has promised to set no artificial deadlines for withdrawing troops against a resilient Taliban. And American pilots and Special Operations forces continue to go after militants fighting with the Islamic State, Al Qaeda and the Shabab from Syria to Yemen to Somalia.
But as tensions in the Korean Peninsula have continued to rise over the past year, American military commanders and senior defense officials have fretted over whether 16 years of counterinsurgency fighting has left the military unprepared for a great powers land war.
Pentagon officials say that the need to do both — fight insurgents and prepare for a potential war among great powers — is pushing a military that is already stretched. Added to that is the uncertainty that has plagued the Pentagon's budget since 2011, when mandatory spending caps were put in place.
Congress has been unable to pass a spending bill, and on Friday the federal government was, once again, teetering on the edge of a shutdown. Mr. Mattis, during his speech on Friday, took aim at the budget shenanigans.
"As hard as the last 16 years of war have been, no enemy in the field has done more to harm the readiness of the U.S. military than the combined impact of the budget control act's defense spending caps, and nine of the last 10 years operating under continuing resolutions, wasting copious amounts of precious taxpayer dollars," he said.


Founded in 1984, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta was established through the efforts of Ted and Debby Kessler to recreate the mind and body healing experiences their son, Todd had received at a cancer camp in New York State. At the very beginning Camp was just a great idea without a name. While in the Pediatric Oncology Unit at the hospital discussing the possibility of a camp where "kids with cancer" can just be "kids", one of the children still too young to attend exclaimed in frustration "but I want a camp to come ta!". The name was perfect, and eventually she did get her "Camp Ta-Kum-Ta". Today, she is one of the many survivors volunteering on staff! Each year Camp Ta-Kum-Ta tries to squeeze in as many life experiences and memories as possible into one magical week. Along with traditional camp activities such as swimming, athletics, ropes course, and arts & crafts, Ta-Kum-Ta offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as rock climbing expeditions, hot-air balloon rides, formal dances, and lake cruises. For 24 years Camp Ta-Kum-Ta took place in August at Camp Hold Cross on the shores of Malletts Bay, Lake Champlain in Colchester, Vermont. In early 2008 the T-K-T Board learned that the facility would no longer be made available as a campsite, and so a search was begun for a new, permanent home. In August of 2008 it was announced that Camp Ta-Kum-Ta would move to the former Willey Farm in the Town of South Hero, Vermont in the Lake Champlain Islands. There, a new camp will be built from scratch.

Robert E. Green founded Magrabar in 1981 with the goal of becoming the preeminent manufacturer of antifoams and defoamers. Together with Dan Sampson, they brought together a wide range of experience and expertise in antifoams and other specialty chemicals. Following an initial period during which the company's products were manufactured on a toll-manufacturing basis, the company started operations in one unit at our current location.
During Mr. Green's tenure, we expanded our manufacturing facility three times and increased production and storage capacity significantly in order to serve a rapidly expanding customer base.
Mr. Green started Magrabar late in his life and was exceptionally proud of the successful business he had created. Following his death in early 2003, his daughters Sue Jenkins and Sandy Roy assumed responsibility for the Company. They were determined not just to continue the business, but to build on the strong foundations he had laid over the first 22 years.
Sue and Sandy took definitive action to restructure every element of Magrabar, instituting new management systems to reenergize the company and its employees, reinvigorate our performance, and drive new growth.
One key to this growth is that Sue and Sandy focused our efforts on improving our food chemicals business. To accomplish this, we improved all of our operating procedures and developed a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan using FDA guidelines. This plan and our other quality and security systems continue to be audited on an annual basis by both a third party firm and in our customers' own audits. We consistently earn high ratings.
Since 2003, additional space has been added twice to accommodate our new growth. In 2007, Magrabar initiated a large increase in production capacity that came into full production in 2008. This investment in reactors and a new high capacity thermal fluid heating system allows us to serve a growing customer base reliably for many years to come.
Recognizing the strengths of Magrabar's product line, manufacturing capabilities and food safety programs, Magrabar became a MÜNZING company in 2013. www.munzing.com.
With all of the changes and successes over the life of Magrabar, our core goal goes back to that of the original founders – to be the preeminent manufacturer of antifoams and defoamers.

Everolimus-treated renal transplant recipients have a more robust CMV-specific CD8+ T-cell response compared with cyclosporine- or mycophenolate-treated patients

In renal transplant recipients, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors have been reported to protect against cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. Here, we questioned whether mTOR inhibitors specifically influence human CMV-induced T-cell responses. We studied renal transplant recipients treated with prednisolone, cyclosporine A (CsA), and mycophenolate sodium (MPS) for the first 6 months after transplantation followed by double therapy consisting of prednisolone/everolimus, which is an mTOR inhibitor (P/EVL; n=10), prednisolone/CsA (P/CsA; n=7), or prednisolone/MPS (P/MPS; n=9). All patients were CMV-IgG positive before transplantation. CMV reactivation was detectable in the first 6 months after transplantation and not thereafter. None of the patients included in this study suffered from CMV disease. Both CD27CD8 and CD27CD28CD4 effector-type T-cell counts, known to be associated with CMV infection, were measured before transplantation and at 6 and 24 months after transplantation. Additionally, we determined both number and function of CMV-specific CD8 T cells at these time points. The number of total CD8 T cells, CD27CD8 T cells, and CD28CD4 T cells increased significantly after switch to therapy with P/EVL but not after switch to P/CsA or P/MPS. Specifically, CMV-specific CD8 T-cell counts significantly increased after switch to therapy with P/EVL. Furthermore, the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus strongly inhibited alloresponses in vitro, whereas it did not affect CMV-specific responses. We observed a significant increase in (CMV-specific) effector-type CD8 and CD4 T-cell counts in everolimus-treated patients. These findings may at least in part explain the reported low incidence of CMV-related pathology in everolimus-treated patients

Remnant of prisoner clothing and a cigarette coupon that Leo Goldner took when he was liberated from the Allach-Dachau concentration camp
Following the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia, Leo Goldner fled from Belgrade together with his wife and family to an area that was under Hungarian control. In 1942, he was drafted into the Hungarian labor battalions and sent away for forced labor. After almost three years, at the end of 1944, Leo Goldner was marched on foot with a group of Jews to Vienna, Austria.
In Vienna, the prisoners were loaded onto an SS-supervised train and sent to Dachau.
"One morning at the end of April, Appel (roll call), quick quick, and we were leaving. We didn't know [where to]" recalled Goldner in his testimony.
"We started walking, the whole camp, a whole convoy. 2,000-3,000 people from the camp, all on foot, in the direction of Munich.They wanted to take us towards Austria, but that night they received an order to leave us in a camp near Munich called Allach… For a day or two we heard the sounds of American artillery at night… the next morning we saw that the German Army had left and that the SS had completely disappeared … At about nine o'clock in the morning we saw our first American soldier in front of the camp. I was near the gate and then we were liberated."
Goldner was liberated by the US Army at the Allach camp on 30 April 1945.
He described his feelings on liberation.
["What was the first thing you wanted to do after your liberation? Eat?"]
"No. Definitely not. Several people went immediately to the food stores. They broke down the doors, took food… but nearby there was some sort of anti-tank position and I walked for several hours after my liberation to see what was there. I found a little Jew there, a red-headed Polish Jew, who was cooking potatoes using a German Army helmet. When I saw this, I fully understood that yes, we were free. This was a sign of our liberation. Here was this little Jew using a German helmet that he'd found - it was 30 April and it was still cold so he had made a fire and was cooking potatoes in a German helmet."
After his liberation, Goldner cut a piece of material from an item of prisoner clothing that he found in the camp storeroom and stuck it together with a coupon for five cigarettes that the labor manager would give to the prisoners. Goldner kept these items as a memento and as evidence of what he had experienced.
When he returned to Yugoslavia, he found his wife and her family in Belgrade. The rest of his family had been deported in June 1944 to Auschwitz, where they were murdered.

Brace yourselves… the Winter Olympics are coming
On 7th February 2014 the world will be focusing on the opening ceremony of the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. This will be the first time that Russia has hosted the Winter Olympics.
98 events in 15 sports will be held during the Games, with more than 2500 athletes from 94 nations participating. This means that almost all languages of the world will be spoken at the same time, in the same place, for more than two weeks.
BBC Sport recently released this trailer promoting its coverage for all 17 days of the Games. It features a voice over by English actor Charles Dance, renowned for his role of Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones. Icy chills race down one's spine at his intense voice, while confident athletes want to overpower the snowy, magnificent mountains.
'I am the dreadful menace,
the one whose will is done;
the haunting chill upon your neck.
I am the conundrum.
I will summon armies
of wind, and rain, and snow.
I made the black cloud overhead;
the ice, like glass below.
Not you or any other
can fathom what is nigh.
I will tell you when to jump
and I'll dictate how high.
The ones that came before you
stood strong, and tall, and brave,
but I stole their dreams away;
those dreams could not be saved.
But now you stand before me,
devoid of all dismay.
Could it be? Just maybe;
I'll let you have your day.'
The wild nature appears to be talking to the athletes, warning them about its unlimited powers. Their competition will definitely not be an easy one, although it will not be impossible; it will be really demanding, but not impossible.
Nature: who will conquer it?

The arrival of Baby Sussex is fast approaching, and it's not just the royal family that's celebrating. Across the world, people have sent the expecting parents an avalanche of gifts.First, there was the viral success of #globalsussexbabyshower.
The movement started on Twitter, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's fans encouraged each other to donate to the couple's favorite charities. A week later, the duke and duchess themselves chimed in to highlight specific foundations. "What an incredibly special surprise the grassroots led #globalsussexbabyshower was last Sunday, " they wrote. "If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks. .
If you are thinking about it, they ask that you kindly consider the following organisations." Then, they tagged The Lunchbox Fund, Little Village, WellChild, and Baby2Baby.And everyone listened: Each charity received a substantial uptick in donations.
The Lunchbox Fund will now be able to provide 100, 000 more meals to children in South Africa, and Baby2Baby received more than 5, 000 baby items, including cribs, diapers, and books. Also impressive was the geographical diversity of it all, with contributions from the United Kingdom, United States, United Arab Emirates, China, Mexico, and Italy, to name a few. Undoubtedly, the Duchess of Sussex also received a slew of gifts during her lavish New York City baby shower (the gift bags alone!). But the presents started well before February. .

Q: Time complexity of constant array size Take the following python program which "filters" out the banned_fruit from the fruits:
banned_fruit = {"apple", "orange", "grape"} # always size = 3
fruits = ["banana", "apple", "blueberry", "kiwi", "orange"]  # size = N

good_fruit = []
for fruit in fruits: # O(N)
    if fruit not in banned_fruit: # O(1) average case, worst case O(3) = O(1) ?
        good_fruit.append(fruit)

print(good_fruit) # Output: ['banana', 'blueberry', 'kiwi']

My question is what is the worst case time complexity of the above program? The thing which is confusing me is the line:
if fruit not in banned_fruit:

If banned_fruit is a python set, then to my understanding it can have a worst-case time complexity of O(K) where K is the length of the banned_fruit set. But, if the length of the banned_fruit set is always constant (ie: 3), will this mean that the worst case will be O(1) thus making my overall program have a time-complexity of O(N), or do I need to factor in the search time of the set, making my time-complexity O(NK)?

A: The time complexity would be O(N) . The worst case complexity of a set lookup would be O(length of the set) if there are too many hash collisions which would happen if many items in the set hash to the same value. So in your case it would be O(N) [ the complexity of your loop ] practically [ your set size is constant ]  and you don't need to call it O(NK) .

A: Complexity theory is about how the time or space of a program varies based on variable-sized inputs.
If part of the algorithm uses a fixed-size object, that's not a variable that you consider when determining the complexity. If the set size is predefined rather than something that can vary, it doesn't affect the complexity of the algorithm.

The Caldor fire caused thousands of residents of South Lake Tahoe, California, to evacuate their homes.
Bears roamed the empty streets, rummaged through garbage cans and broke into homes.
Authorities said bears had broken into about 70 homes and vehicles, usually in search of food.
As residents of South Lake Tahoe, California, evacuated to escape the advancing Caldor fire, bears roamed the empty streets and broke into homes, reports say.
Videos and images posted on social media show bears entering empty homes and gardens.
—News 5 Cleveland (@WEWS) September 5, 2021
One video captured by a doorbell camera showed a mother bear and three cubs sniffing around on a porch.
The homeowner, Azadeh Nolan, told Storyful, "We noticed the camera detected motion on the north end of the cabin. So we immediately tuned into the rest of our footage and found mama bear at our front door."
"We know better than to encourage them, so locals know to scare them off and leave no food around," Nolan said.
Nolan told the outlet that she and her family screamed into the doorbell camera in an attempt to scare the bears away.
Although bear break-ins are common in the region at this time of year, the numbers rose significantly after the area's nearly 22,000 residents fled.
Since the evacuation, bear break-ins have been reported at about 70 homes and vehicles, according to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department, The San Francisco Chronicle said.
This is compared with just a few bear break-ins per week normally.
—Active NorCal (@ActiveNorCal) September 1, 2021
Sgt. Simon Brown of the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office told The San Francisco Chronicle that police officers had been leaving courtesy notes at homes where bears had broken in, so owners would be aware when they returned.
Brown added that bears usually entered homes in search of food.
"It's pretty obvious when you get inside and you see the target: a refrigerator," Brown told the paper.
Hungry bears were also seen ransacking garbage cans left on the street curbs and feasting on trash.
"Bears are just having a heyday of it. It's just a nightmare," John Tillman, owner of South Tahoe Refuse, told The San Francisco Chronicle.
"There's so much garbage on the street because of the bears. Oh my God, they are making a mess," he said.
—Matthias Gafni (@mgafni) September 6, 2021
Police have found front doors broken, garage doors with holes in them, and trash cans and dumpsters emptied by bears.
"If it smells and they think there's food in it, they will go for it," Tillman told the paper.
Authorities warn residents not to feed animals human food, as it can create bad habits, or even cause malnourishment and death, according to the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
The Caldor Fire, which caused unprecedented evacuations, destroyed 776 homes in the area, according to The Guardian.
The fire is now roughly 50% contained, the paper said, and residents have now been allowed to start returning to their homes.

In 2008, Rob purchased the collection of Dr. Miguel Romero, who assembled a particularly significant and outstanding Mexican mineral collection. To memorialize the collection, we worked with the Mineralogical Record to publish supplementary volume highlighting Dr. Romero, his contributions to preserving the mineral heritage of Mexico, and his collection.
The book is available for free here, but the introduction, by Dr. Eugene Meieran, gives interesting insight into what happens when a collection is sold and thoughts about its dispersion.
If you're interested in purchasing a copy, check to see if the Mineralogical Record still has them available for sale in their bookstore.
Introduction to The Miguel Romero Collection of Mexican Minerals
By Dr. Eugene Meieran
Originally published in 2008
I doubt that any serious collector of anything can pursue a collecting career without becoming aware of the amazing historical collections displayed in museums and other institutions. The mere names of these great collections conjure up strong emotions—of awe at the beauty and perfection of their specimens, and, yes, of an envious desire to own those specimens. As mineral collectors, we can all name the great institutions that have amassed fine mineral collections: the Sorbonne, Harvard, Yale, the Houston Museum, the British Museum, the American Museum, the Smithsonian, the Philadelphia Academy, the Los Angeles County Museum, etc. And we can often name individual collections within each of these institutions: the Roebling Collection, the Kunz Collection, the Vaux collection, and more. These historical collections were put together over time by dedicated private collectors, and eventually made their way into the museums of the world. We all have stood before such displays and thought, "Gee, I wish I owned that specimen!" Such envy is a characteristic (or a malady) of serious collectors!
One such impressive private accumulation was the Romero collection, which most recently resided in the Flandreau Science Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This particularly outstanding collection of Mexican minerals was put together over the years by Dr. Miguel Romero, and includes several of the most wonderful Mexican mineral specimens ever dug out of the ground, some of which indeed are widely recognized as the best mineral specimens from anywhere (so-called "mineral ikons," using the term recently proposed by Wayne Thompson). In fact, the Romero collection of what might be called "Mexican Mineral Treasures" could be viewed as an analog of the spectacular "American Mineral Treasures" exhibits assembled for the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in February 2008.
Miguel Romero in 1992, at his home in Tehuacan, showing the "Aztec Sun" legrandite, his most famous specimen, to Texas collector Imelda Klein in 1992.
As is the case with many fine private collections, the Romero collection was not seen by very many other mineral collectors for many years. It was originally kept in an office in Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico, where it was seen only by the occasional serious collector who happened by—and by hoards of local school children who were regularly admitted for tours. I was fortunate to visit the Romero collection in the early 1980s, when I passed through the city during an unsuccessful trip to acquire some Las Vigas amethyst. So in 1997 I was thrilled to see the best of the collection come to Arizona and be put on display at the Flandreau museum! Along with the fine Arizona mineral collection and the displays of world-wide minerals in the museum, the Romero collection stood out as a peerless assemblage of great Mexican minerals. During the annual Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, thousands of visitors had the privilege and pleasure of seeing the best of the Romero collection on public display (thereby making it one of the most widely viewed mineral collections in the world).
Of course, while we as collectors privately covet museum specimens, we are always grateful that public museums acquire and display great pieces for us all to see. Museums preserve valuable natural and cultural artifacts and objects for posterity. So, as I said at the beginning, we mineral collectors look at public displays of private collections with mixed feelings: appreciation that great specimens are indeed preserved and displayed for public enjoyment, and jealousy that we do not own these wonderful objects ourselves!
The Romero mineral collection clearly represents the best that Mexico has to offer to the mineral connoisseur. It was put together by a person who knew, understood and loved mineral specimens and the mineral heritage of Mexico. And since Mexico is so well endowed with great minerals, the Romero collection stands out even among other great world-wide collections. And speaking personally, I really wanted some of those world-class specimens for myself, but I was equally appreciative of the fact that the collection was on public display for me and my fellow collectors to enjoy. Of course, I never thought that the best of the Romero collection would be sold to a private collector.
There are times when a great private collection or set of collections goes on display in a museum, and then later some or all of the specimens are sold or traded to the public, usually for one of three reasons. First, the museum may have so many equivalent specimens that it makes no sense to keep more of the same; the museum collection is enhanced by exchange of specimens with other institutions or collectors or dealers, and these transactions enrich both the private and public collections. Second, the museum may need funds for other exhibits or programs and, perhaps too often, minerals are the first to go because there is such a strong market for museum-quality specimens. And third, the collection may simply be on loan to the museum and is only on temporary display under its stewardship. It can be removed at any time at the discretion of the collection's owner.

This third scenario was the case with the Romero collection: the Romero family had retained ownership while the collection was on public display in Arizona, and they ultimately decided to put it up for sale. We are naturally saddened by the fact that the entire collection is no longer on exhibit. However, the situation is not as bad as it might seem. We can be heartened by the fact that suites of Mexican locality specimens will be retained permanently by the University of Arizona, through the efforts of Rob Lavinsky, the dealer who transacted the sale. The Arizona specimens have gone to the leading private collector of Arizona minerals, where they will surely be well cared for, and although some of the Mexican specimens have been dispersed, Rob has arranged for the core of the Mexican collection to remain intact with a private collector who is planning eventually to open a mineral museum overseas. So, although the unity of the Romero collection is lost, some of it will remain available for study by the public at the Flandreau Science Center in Arizona and the most of the major Mexican specimens may someday be on exhibit together once again in a public museum.
Since the vast majority of private collections are ultimately broken up and their cohesiveness totally lost, it is gratifying to me as a collector to see the best of the Romero collection documented in this book, and to know that most of the collection will be preserved in major segments. In addition, 1,200 specimens still in the Romero Mineralogical Museum in Tehuacan will remain there, and a systematic collection consisting of 5,500 specimens is being donated by the Romero family to the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. I look forward to seeing portions of the Romero collection once again, albeit in different museums. Given that the Romero family has found the sale necessary, this is indeed the best possible outcome.

Lowden Guitars has been honoured with a Queen's Award for Enterprise for International Trade. Following their recent celebration of 45 years in the business of creating high-quality guitars and the launch of their collaboration with Ed Sheeran on the Sheeran by Lowden brand in early 2019, the outstanding legacy of Founder and luthier George Lowden and his team of skilled guitar makers has been recognised with this prestigious award.
Learning to manufacture guitars 'the hard way' through self-teaching, George's focus has always been on craftsmanship, quality and experimentation with new shapes and innovations. This dedication to innovation has been an important aspect of the brand's success and reputation as Lowden grew from one work bench to a sprawling workshop which employs and trains the skilled craftspeople who contribute to Lowden's reputation for quality.
"It has been a milestone moment for Lowden Guitars to be included by the Prime Minister and Her Majesty the Queen on the list of businesses in this year's Queen's Awards for Enterprise," said George Lowden, Founder, Lowden Guitars, about their recent recognition. "It has taken a lot of hard work, patience and determination during the last 45 years and we are delighted and humbled to be among other home-grown companies and brands on this prestigious list."
Acknowledging the importance of Sheeran by Lowden's success in making Lowden a household name, Managing Director David Ausdahl said, "Building on the long-standing reputation of Lowden as an aspirational guitar brand sought out by players around the world of varying backgrounds, launching Sheeran by Lowden has introduced our guitars to a whole new generation of players, encouraging many musicians on-the-rise to dedicate themselves to reaching their highest potential in guitar playing."
Looking back on this year of significant growth and success for Lowden, David added, "The whole team is pleased to congratulate George Lowden on this truly special commendation which recognises his dedication to continued growth while maintaining the outstanding reputation of the Lowden Guitars brand. The long judging process began last year, and we are delighted to have been notified of our award win."
Now in its 54th year, the Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen's Awards emblem for the next five years. The Lowden Guitars team will celebrate its award during a royal reception for Queen's Awards winners this summer at Buckingham Palace.

Is it Possible to Buy a Country? Australia Fears New Wave of Colonialism
A wave of massive land purchases is taking place around the world. Big investors are spending billions on land acquisition, mainly for crops and livestock.
This phenomenon raised suspicions. Is this a new way of colonialism? Buying a significant part of a country compromises its sovereignty and reserves. The recent blockade by Australia of the sale of a large tract of land equivalent to 1% of their territory to a consortium led by a Chinese company is the last sample of those misgivings.
The centenarian S. Kidman & Co, star of the controversy, is dedicated to raising cattle for beef export and controls rangelands of about 100,000 square kilometers. The group led by the Chinese company, Shanghai Pengxin Group, which also involved Australian companies, has made an offer, worth about 325 million euros.
But the Australian Treasury has paralyzed the operation, expressing doubts about whether this offer meets the national interests as "the size and importance" of these assets, which are home to some 200,000 head of cattle.
One possibility to consider would be to sell the land into smaller pieces to different buyers, because, according to the Australian authorities, no country would allow foreign capital to acquire such a piece of its territory.
Last year the neighboring New Zealand had already rejected a similar offer from the same company.
More Land Passing into Foreign Ownership
"Since 2000, 40 million hectares of land, in the world, have passed into foreign hands, more than the size of Germany."
In less affluent countries it is more difficult to impede. Beijing's appetite for buying land is well known in Africa, which is by far the region where most part of its territory has been sold to foreigners, followed by Asia.
But how much land has been acquired worldwide with investors or for crops and livestock purposes in the last decade? Impossible to know exactly.
According to Land Matrix, an international organization that tracks such operations, 1,100 purchases of a big scale have been closed since 2000. In total purchases and sales, have passed into foreign hands 40 million hectares. The main investors are: The United States, Malaysia, Singapore, UAE and UK.
China does not yet appear on the list, but is the second most active country in the purchase of land after Saudi Arabia whether operations that are still under negotiation are recorded.
The United Nations warned in 2008 about this new "food neocolonialism" because greed for land sometimes has a purely financial objective.
There are mutual funds that include the purchase of land as one way to earn money, which can sometimes subject the crops to the capricious market tensions (eg, interest in promoting biofuel resulted in an increase of soybean prices).
An example of this concern has been seen recently in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, which has banned pension funds to buy farmland in the area to avoid "speculation on Wall Street."
Maybe rent is the solution to this problem, promoting local farmers to use the land as a cooperative way of working. In theory, it should not be a problem if the multinational corporation respects the local laws but we all know how things work in life.

Can anyone recommend any RDAs with an adjustable positive centre pin? I'd be particularly interested in devices towards the more affordable end of the market.
I've been looking for something like this for ages; a 510-510 adapter that offers an adjustable interface between the tank and battery device.
The additional functionality of keeping the battery and tank cool, and the potential of this device to act as a thread-saver are also welcome bonuses.
I have a problem with one of my istick 20w's. The centre pin connector on the device has become pushed down a tad and doesn't touch the centre pin of some atty's. It will work with a 510 / ego adapter and beauty ring, but this heatsink might be a slightly neater option.
