Under pressure to remove alleged human bias from its "Trending Topics" section, in August Facebook fired the editors who were selecting and writing headlines for the stories, explaining that this "will make the product more automated." The results of trusting algorithms more than humans have continued to make headlines ever since with the Trending "product" promoting a fake news story about Fox News' Meghan Kelly, a conspiracy article claiming the 9/11 twin towers collapsed because of "controlled demolition," and Apple 's Tim Cook announcing that Siri will physically come out of the phone and do all the household chores (a story from an Indian satirical website, Faking News, that was Trending's top story on the day of the iPhone 7 launch event), to mention just a few of the more embarrassing machine failures.
Silicon Valley has never displayed much love for fallible humans, but has shown a lot of confidence in the continuous improvement and now, self-improvement, of machines. Do humans still have an important role to play in our automated lives which are increasingly controlled by sophisticated algorithms and seemingly smarter machines?
In Only Humans Need Apply: Winners and Losers in the Age of Smart Machines, knowledge work and analytics expert Tom Davenport and Julia Kirby, a contributing editor for the Harvard Business Review, offer optimistic, upbeat and practical answers to this much-debated question. "The upside potential of the advancing technology is the promise of augmentation—in which humans and computers combine their strengths to achieve more favorable outcomes than either could do alone," they write.
It is a shortsighted (and short-term) strategy for companies to favor automation over augmentation: "If the goal is to provide truly exceptional or differentiated products and services at scale, only an augmentation arrangement can accomplish that," write Davenport and Kirby. They advocate a "workplace that combine sophisticated machines and humans in partnerships of mutual augmentation" and mutual benefit.
The authors describe in detail—with vivid and engaging examples—five "options for augmentation:" Stepping Up or moving a level above the machines and making high level decisions about augmentation; Stepping Aside or choosing to pursue a job that computers are not good at, such as selling or motivating; Stepping In or monitoring and improving the computer's automated decisions; Stepping Narrowly or finding a specialty area in a specific profession that wouldn't be economical to automate; and Stepping Forward or becoming involved in creating the very technology that supports intelligent decisions.
Just because you can automate, doesn't mean you should. This is the important lesson of this contrarian, timely, and well-argued book. Augmentation, say Davenport and Kirby, is something "societies should encourage in ways big and small." Hear! Hear!


Silver and Gold are Nice! Immersed Technologies Wins both at 2017 Industry Awards.
Immersed Technologies' MOBILE APP and CUSTOMER SUPPORT MATERIALS for the 2018 Karma Revero Launch earned a bit of bling in the 2017 marketing and communications industry awards department.
To support the launch of the 2018 Karma Revero, Karma Automotive asked Immersed Technologies to create and deliver an owner's manual, a mobile app, and a video series highlighting some of the Revero's features and functions.
Our work was awarded TWO SILVERS by the Davey Awards in the category of Mobile Apps/Sites-Reference & eBooks and in the category of Campaign Categories-Online Video Series – Other. The MarCom Awards recognized our work with a GOLD in the category of Strategic Communications | Media Kit | Product/Service Launch.
The Karma Revero project included the traditional printed owner's manual for the glovebox as well as an electronic version accessed via the Karma's Online Owner's Portal. The owner's literature is also accessible via My Revero, an iPhone mobile app created by Immersed Technologies specifically for Revero owners. The video series, also accessed via the portal, gives owners an opportunity to view spotlighted features and functions of their new Revero.
As far as the awards are concerned, it's especially nice to be recognized for our work on the Revero owner's manual. An owner's manual is a utilitarian thing―a thing of necessity with a clear purpose. The best reference guides are straightforward. There is no fancy extraneous language to interpret or need to meander through filler material.
The best reference guides and manuals don't mess around―they simply and purposely relay helpful, explanatory, and correct information. The best get straight to the point and inform the user of what they need to know…precisely, concisely, correctly.
A reference manual at its best is accessed when needed, provides useful and correct information, and is then set aside without much thought. A general rule of thumb is that if it's being thought about, talked about, it's because it's not doing its job and for one reason or another is frustrating the user.
At Immersed Technologies, we make it a priority to deliver information, marketing, and education tools that exceed expectations. In our hands, even a reference guide and manual becomes something of note, upending that old rule of thumb by generating positive attention―even garnering a bit of silver and gold.

Dwight P. Lanmon
Carder, Frederick (18 September 1863–10 December 1963), glassmaker and founder and managing director of Steuben Glass Works in Corning, New York, was born in Brockmoor, Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England, the son of Caleb Carder and Ann Wadelin. Caleb Carder's father owned Leys Pottery in Brierley Hill, Staffordshire, and bequeathed it to his two brothers. Frederick Carder was attracted to art, particularly drawing and sculpting, at an early age. He quit school at the age of fourteen to work in the pottery, where he was assigned menial tasks. Quickly realizing his mistake, he determined to leave the pottery and began taking night school classes at the Stourbridge School of Art and at the Dudley Mechanics Institute. A visit in 1878 to the studio of the glass carver and decorator John Northwood, where he saw Northwood's glass copy of the Roman cameo glass "Portland Vase," attracted him to work in glass....

Grueby attended public school until he was thirteen. In the Chelsea school system Grueby received practical training in drawing and design through the first state-mandated art curriculum introduced in the United States. After working for a Boston decorating firm and the J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works in Chelsea, Grueby founded an architectural ceramics company in 1890. He and his partner, Eugene Atwood, produced faience—glazed terra cotta—for interior and exterior decoration at the South Boston plant of the Boston Terra Cotta Company. Atwood and Grueby dissolved their partnership around 1893, each man establishing his own faience company. Atwood Faience Company operated in Hartford, Connecticut, until 1899, when new owners changed the name to the Hartford Faience Company. Grueby Faience remained in South Boston....

Martinez, Maria Montoya (1885–20 July 1980), potter, was born Maria Montoya on the San Ildefonso Pueblo in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico (approximately twenty-five miles northwest of Santa Fe), the third of five daughters of Tomas Montoya, a farmer, and Reyes Pena Montoya. No birth certificate exists for any of the Montoya daughters, and accounts of Maria's life list her birth variously from 1881 to 1887. The first official record of her life is that of an 1887 baptism. Maria might have been an infant at the time, but in an interview in the 1970s (Peterson, p. 73) she recalled the baptism, which if true would suggest that she was older. She chose 5 April as the day on which to celebrate her birthday. She is often referred to by her first name alone, occasionally Maria Poveka, which means Pond Lily in the Tewa language. Life in the pueblo revolved around subsistence farming and pottery, which was in decline as less expensive, mass-produced ceramic ware gained popularity. The population of the San Ildefonso Pueblo declined by about half during Maria's childhood, from 150 to 80, as many of the young people in this Tewa Indian tribe left their ancestral homes for jobs in the cities....

As a fan of horror, and its ghetto sub-genre the slasher, I'm sometimes surprised by the movies that emerge as cult favorites. Somehow, The Burning, a fairly low-rent piggybacker on the success of 1980's hit Friday the 13th, has gained a powerful enough fanbase to get this long-hibernating sleeper a surprisingly high rank on Flickchart, Rotten Tomatoes and other movie rating websites. While the best of the slasher genre often don't get the respect they deserve for what makes them work as visceral exploitation classics, it's not clear to me what has inspired The Burning's recent surge in popularity. Is it ironic praise, or genuine?
The Burning is about a group of campers who get stalked and slashed by the horrifically burned victim of prank played by a similar group of campers five years earlier. It plays out pretty much how you might expect. Not entirely a copycat of the original Friday the 13th, The Burning was inspired by the same campfire urban legends that spawned Sean S. Cunningham's surprising hit a year earlier, and almost certainly took some cues from that film during production. However, the differences in quality are stark. Despite the unavoidably puerile, bottom-feeding essence of the slasher genre, there are reasons why the good ones work and others don't. Friday the 13th has a lot going for it: naturalistic performances, effective pacing, and a grotty tone that's full of menace. While the last half-hour of The Burning features some half-decent sequences, it takes a long time to get there, with director Tony Maylam piling up the false-scares so high during the first half that they are ultimately more gratuitous than the violence.
The Burning only really has two key assets: its cast of then-unknowns (including Seinfeld's Jason Alexander, Brain Backer from Fast Times from Ridgemont High, Fisher Stevens and, in a mostly background role, Holly Hunter) and the craft of gore king Tom Savini. That retrospectively amusing cast is mostly wasted on characters who make Jason Voorhees' victims seem like the creations of a master playwright, and the cast members who did not go on to become recognizable future stars are extremely weak. We don't even get to see most of the familiar faces die. Savini's gore effects also seem below his usual standard, possibly due to the lack of finesse with which they are filmed.
Conceived and produced by Harvey Weinstein — it's the first movie under the Miramax banner — The Burning doesn't display much of any quality as a movie. It's a serviceable button-pusher for genre fans, like myself, but brings nothing fresh to a genre that was brand new at the time and dominated by a nearly identical franchise with superior technical competence. While the opening prank-gone-wrong and Savini's makeup design for "Cropsy" are memorable, it seems insane to count the adequate The Burning among the all-time great slasher movies.


Blonde bombshell actress Jayne Mansfield is killed instantly on this day in 1967 when the car in which she is riding strikes the rear of a trailer truck on Interstate-90 east of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Mansfield had been on her way to New Orleans from Biloxi, Mississippi, where she had been performing a standing engagement at a local nightclub; she had a television appearance scheduled the following day. Ronald B. Harrison, a driver for the Gus Stevens Dinner Club, was driving Mansfield and her lawyer and companion, Samuel S. Brody, along with three of Mansfield's children with her ex-husband Mickey Hargitay, in Stevens' 1966 Buick Electra.
On a dark stretch of road, just as the truck was approaching a machine emitting a thick white fog used to spray mosquitoes (which may have obscured it from Harrison's view), the Electra hit the trailer-truck from behind. Mansfield, Harrison and Brody were all killed in the accident. Eight-year-old Mickey, six-year-old Zoltan and three-year-old Marie, or Mariska, had apparently been sleeping on the rear seat; they were injured but survived.
Born Vera Jayne Palmer in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, Mansfield arrived in Hollywood as a young wife and mother (to daughter Jayne Marie) in 1954, determined to become an actress. From the beginning, she wasn't afraid to make the most of her assets, particularly her curvaceous figure, flowing platinum blonde hair and dazzling smile. Cast in the Broadway comedy "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?", she turned heads as a voluptuous, dumb blonde movie star; in one famous scene she appeared in nothing but a white towel.


They are interviewing 8 candidates for 2 positions. They hoped to have all the interviews done by Spring Break, but bad weather seems to have interfered with some candidates' travel plans. Thus, offers will likely be made mid to late March.


Big investment is coming to Gloucestershire College after successfully bidding to the Government's Institute of Technology programme.
A total of 12 colleges and universities across the county submitted winning bids for a share of £170m from the Department for Education.
One of the successful bids involves a consortium of Colleges and Universities which includes Gloucestershire College and will now progress to the pre-award stage.
This will provide significant investment into advanced engineering and cyber facilities at the College's Cheltenham campus and create an outstanding higher education and professional training offer there, with degrees to be delivered in conjunction with the University of West of England (UWE).
The application titled the South West Institute of Future Technologies (SWIFT) will potentially receive £14m of Government funding, resulting in up to £3M of investment in the College's facilities.
SWIFT is a consortium of education providers and key employers across the South West. It has been led by Weston College and includes UWE, Bath College, Yeovil College as well as a network of key local employers. These employers include GKN Aerospace, Airbus, GE Aviation, Renishaw, Weston Area Health Trust, St Monica Trust, Jisc, Mayden Academy, National Composites Centre (NCC), North Somerset Council and Tech OP Solutions.
The Government's aim for IoTs is to offer an alternative to universities by specialising in delivering higher level technical training in STEM subjects.
Matthew Burgess, principal and chief executive of Gloucestershire College, said: "This is absolutely fantastic news both for the College and for local businesses and students.
"Working with our partners we will be able to create an outstanding offer for the County with state-of-the-art facilities to support STEM training and also provide a training facility adjacent to the proposed cyber business park in Cheltenham."
Alex Chalk, MP for Cheltenham, said: "This is a great opportunity to build a conveyor belt of local cyber and STEM talent for the UK's cyber economy. Cyber is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world and I want Cheltenham's young people in the lead.
"The Government has already committed £23million to develop my vision for Cheltenham as an 'internationally recognised centre of cyber security excellence'. This new investment in Gloucestershire College will be another huge boost for local training, jobs and investment."

TUCKY BUZZARD TIME WILL BE YOUR DOCTOR: RARE RECORDINGS 1971-1972 Castle Records CMEDD1249
Time Will Be Your Doctor
From their mid-60s incarnation as The End through to a batch of early 70s albums, Stones bassist Bill Wyman masterminded the career of these British rock'n'boogie merchants. Unjustly overlooked to date, their three original LPs - only one of them originally issued in the UK - are now combined on this in-depth retrospective.
Of the pool of acts managed and produced throughout the 1960s and early 1970s by Bill Wyman, TUCKY BUZZARD probably came closest to making the big-time. Emerging from the ashes of '60s stalwarts The End, Buzzard's brand of definitively British Hard Rock and Boogie almost saw them take off in America at a time when many similarly-fashioned UK acts were finding a warmer welcome on the other side of the Atlantic. Sadly it wasn't to be, but at least they left behind five admirable, surprisingly versatile albums, before going their separate ways.
The beginning of Tucky Buzzard is pretty much inseparable from the end of The End. Based around a core of Dave Brown (bass), Colin Giffin (guitar) and Nicky Graham (keyboards), The End had been around since early 1965. In some ways they were the archetypal British '60s group, flitting from one style to another in an ultimately vain attempt to keep up with the big boys. Staring off as a Beatles-influence Beat Boom outfit, by 1966 they were doing the blue-eyed Soul routine with a horns section, go-go dancers and covers of Don Covay and Wilson Pickett material. It was in this guise that they came closest to achieving some kind of stardom: manager Bill Wyman (who'd been in their corner since the days when Giffin and Brown had appeared on a package tour with The Stones as part of Mike Berry's backing band, The Innocents) packed them off to Spain, where their shoulder-length hair and Swinging London threads caused a sensation in a Fascist state still ruled by the iron fist of Generalissimo Franco.
A self-penned single, the contagious Why, reached the Spanish Top 5, but when the band returned to England in the Summer of 1967, the club scene was dead, swallowed alive by the emergence of Psychedelia. With the aid of a fabulous double-sided single, Shades Of Orange b/w Loving Sacred Loving (both sides co-written by Wyman), The End duly reinvented themselves once more as wide-eyed flower children.
It was at this juncture that saxophonist Gordie Smith left. In his place came lead guitarist Terry Taylor, with whom The End had become friendly while in Spain: Terry's band, The Mode, also recorded for the local Sonoplay label. The recruitment of Taylor gave The End a slightly different, more Rock-oriented sound, and in early 1968 they desultorily worked on an album, Introspection, which, in the wake of Shades Of Orange, would surely confirm their Psychedelic credentials when it eventually appeared.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a longer wait than they could have anticipated. Responsible for handling all of the various Stones': outside projects, the notorious Allen Klein either couldn't or wouldn't see The End as a viable commercial proposition. The album, which featured a cameo appearance on She Said Yeah from Terry's former Mode colleague, singer Jimmy Henderson, had been finished by mid-1968, although Wyman was tied up with sessions for Beggar's Banquet, and wouldn't be able to oversee the mastering until October.
By that point, The End seemed to be on the verge of falling apart: by Christmas 1968, they had lost both Colin Giffin and drummer Hugh Attwooll. The latter was replaced by Paul Francis, previously with former Searcher Tony Jackson's band, while Jimmy Henderson was subsequently brought in to compensate for the departure of Giffin, who immediately recorded an excellent solo single for CBS with the aid of Kenny Lynch. Thus reconstituted, the quintet continued to trade as The End, recording various demos - such titles as Son Of Lightning, Second Glance and North Thames Gas Board were all cut in March/April 1969. In terms of releasing new product, however, they were hamstrung until Klein chose to give their label, Decca, the go-ahead to issue the Introspection album.
Introspection finally limped out in December 1969 - just at the point when The Stones' contract with Decca lapsed. Unfortunately, the moment had long passed: Psychedelia had withered and died, and The End's candy-coated lysergic visions and dreamscapes must have sounded like a relic from a bygone age in a month that saw the UK singles chart topped by Sugar Sugar and Rolf Harris's execrable Two Little Boys. Not that the new line-up of The End would have been that bothered anyway: by that stage their own sound bore little resemblance to Introspection either. That same month, they visited Olympic Studios in Barnes, where Bill Wyman and engineer George Chkiantz worked on mixes of a handful of new tracks, including Time Will Be Your Doctor and My Friend.
With Introspection now out of the way, it seemed as if, finally, The End could concentrate on the present and future rather than the past. In the opening months of 1970, they returned to Olympic on a number of occasions, working on further new songs like Stainless Steel Lady and the Dave Brown/Terry Taylor composition Sally Shotgun. By the middle of March, enough new material had been amassed for Wyman to compile the new End album. Bill's proposed track listing and running order was as follows:
Side One: She's Meat - He's Alright/So Free - Time Will Be Your Doctor - Sally Shotgun - Gu Gu Gu - For Eleanor.
Side Two: Stainless Steel Lady - Son Of Lightning - Theme Of Lightning - Turn On Waterstone - Second Glance - Mistress Bean.
But a recording deal continued to elude them, and the album was destined to remain in the can (though the majority of these tracks were belatedly issued in 1999 on the limited edition vinyl-only album The Last Word). While Wyman attempted to place this and other new recordings - including a cover of Leon Russell's Pisces Apple Lady, cut in April 1970 - The End issued a Spanish-only single under the pseudonym of Polos Opuestos (Opposite Poles). In truth, the alias was probably a good idea. The flip, a group instrumental entitled Smartypants, was pretty strong, but the A-side was a Spanish-language version of Mungo Jerry's recently-issued In The Summertime (El En Verano), and clearly an attempt at scoring a cheap Continental hit by dubious virtue of a quick-off-the-mark cover version.
Nobody's too certain, but it seems to have been around this juncture that the band finally ditched their name - after all, The End was the kind of sharp, gimmicky moniker whose dated definite article meant that it was already indelibly associated with the '60s. Certainly, by the end of 1970 (possibly due to the impetus afforded by Bill managing to find them a deal with the Capitol label), The End had morphed into Tucky Buzzard.
Their eponymous debut album, Tucky Buzzard, duly emerged in the Summer of 1971, although, presumably due to Capitol's status as an America-based label, it failed to appear in Britain. Primarily pulled together from the last eighteen months or so of The End/Buzzard's studio-based activities, half of the album's ten tracks had been recorded as far back as 1969 (indeed, so lengthy was the album's gestation period that Chris Johnston had come in on drums midway through, with Paul Francis subsequently turning up in the fatuously-named Fuzzy Duck). Bill's fellow Stone, guitarist Mick Taylor, added fills and a typically expressive solo to My Friend, while The Stones' regular horns section of Bobby Keys (sax) and Jim Price (trumpet) appeared on a brace of newly-recorded tracks. Nicky Graham's Whiskey Eyes (Taylor is also rumoured to be on this track, presumably on the basis of some guitar work that strongly resembles his contributions to Goat's Head Soup) and the Terry Taylor/Jim Henderson collaboration Rolling Cloud. Both of these were recorded at the end of January 1971, as was Ace The Face.
Perhaps due to its lengthy genesis, Tucky Buzzard was a fine example of the kind of album that the best British bands were making at the turn of the decade. Welding thoughtful arrangements and fine musicianship to some highly engaging melodies, tracks like My Friend and album opener Time Will Be Your Doctor were pitched midway between the more pastoral Psychedelic sound of yore and the new, heavier Prog-Rock style. Most tracks were kitted out with impressive vocal harmonies, with the band possessing three strong lead singers: Sally Shotgun and My Friend were both handled by Dave Brown, Nick Graham (NB: despite what various reference books and internet sites have suggested, keyboardist Graham was not the Nicky Graham who played bass with Skin Alley and Atomic Rooster) sang lead on Time Will Be Your Doctor and Gu Gu Gu, while Jim Henderson was the featured vocalist on the remainder of the material.
Having toured mainly in Europe up to that point, Tucky Buzzard promoted the album with a trip to America (where Pisces Apple Lady b/w Time Will Be Your Doctor had been issued as a single) in September 1971, playing a series of gigs that saw them support the likes of Grand Funk Railroad, Fleetwood Mac, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple. They even played a few dates at the legendary Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles, though their debut at the venue had a slightly surreal, almost Spinal Tap-ish feel to it: Terry Taylor later recalled that, "...at the moment we started playing, the doorman had a heart attack and died." Black Sabbath, who were in Florida at the time, flew in to attend a predictably riotous post-gig party.
Also in the audience at the opening night at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go was Bill Wyman. A couple of days after the show, Bill met with Capitol to discuss the second Tucky Buzzard album, which, with the exception of (She's A) Striker and Heartbreaker'(both cut at Olympic back in April 1971 these two tracks had become the first British release by Tucky Buzzard when issued as a single in June), had been recorded during an idyllic week at the Chateau d'Heuroville in Paris in August. A photograph of Bill taking an al fresco leak (as shown on the original back sleeve) was the inspiration behind the album title Warm Slash, which became the band's first LP to gain a UK release in February 1972 (although nowhere near as pronounced as the hold-ups that had bedevilled The End, there was still a slight delay in the product appearing in Britain - the album had been issued in the US some three months earlier).
In some ways the lean, metallic sound of Warm Slash represented something of a stylistic step sideways from Tucky Buzzard, clearly reflecting the omnipotent influence of Led Zeppelin on British Rock musicians of the period. Jimmy Henderson provided his best Robert Plant banshee wail on Burnin' and, in particular, the excellent Sky Balloon, while other successes on the album included the menacing, hard-riffing Fill You In, the equally driving Which Way, When For Why and an atypical Goundhogs-style Blues-Rock shuffle, Need Your Love.
Warm Slash was duly promoted with a series of live dates across the pond as, like so many early '70s British Rock bands, Buzzard threatened to gain a greater audience in America than at home. However, their next destination was mainland Europe. In June 1972, they appeared alongside Deep Purple on an edition of the long-running German TV pop show, Beat Club, before moving on to Spain to record what can be described as The Great Lost Tucky Buzzard album. With Bill Wyman touring with The Stones, Coming On Again was recorded at the Hispavox Studios in Madrid with the aid of producer Rafael Trabuccelli, noted classical-cum-pop conductor Waldo de los Rios and the Madrid Philharmonic Orchestra, who played the sessions in full evening dress! Also helping out on the album were guitarist Howard 'Lennie' Neldrett, who'd contributed to The End's version of Morning Dew a few years earlier, and fellow exile Hugh Attwool, who, subsequent to leaving The End in late 1968, had been living and working in Spain. However, the principal drummer on the album was Paul Francis, who'd recently rejoined the band.
Despite its relatively meagre running time - a shade over thirty minutes - Coming On Again has some claim to being the most intriguing album to bear the Tucky Buzzard name. Largely eschewing the Hard Rock sound of Warm Slash, the band re-embraced the sound of their debut set, with some lovely choral harmonies and an increased sense of melodic ambition that, allied to some superb baroque arrangements from the gifted de los Rios (who tragically committed suicide in 1977), made for a fascinating one-off experiment in Buzzard's catalogue.
The clear highlight of the album was the highly ambitious cleverly-assembled title track suite, deftly incorporating such songs as the sumptuous Here I Am and the instrumental theme For Maryse, a spellbinding duet for orchestra and Terry Taylor's acoustic guitar. The suite took up the whole of Side One of the original vinyl pressing, but Buzzard's rediscovered lightness of touch was also evident on Side Two via mature ballads like Lady Fair and, in particular, the ethereal You're All Alone, which once again showcased Taylor's dextrous acoustic guitar work as well as a lovely, Colin Blunstone-style vocal from Jimmy Henderson. An edited version of You're All Alone was concurrently issued as a single, but unfortunately both it and Coming On Again would only be released in Spain (by the Hispavox label, who'd also been responsible for issuing the Polos Opuestos single a couple of years earlier), thereby condemning them to a relatively small potential audience. For years, Coming On Again has been something of a well-kept secret: more recently, however, its considerable charms are being belatedly investigated by a new generation of collector, particularly after the bootlegging of You're All Alone on an under-the-counter compilation of late 60s/early 70s European Pop obscurities.
By the end of 1972, Tucky Buzzard had signed with Deep Purple's vanity label, the EMI-administered Purple. Two further albums emerged in Alright On The Night and Buzzard, but the band split in the mid-70s without ever quite making the leap from well-respected circuit band to Rock superstars.

Governors hold 17th virtual meeting with economy as top agenda
By Uchechi Ojo September 15, 2020 187 views
Governors of the 36 states of the Federation held the 17th Nigeria Governors' Forum, NGF, teleconference on Tuesday, September 15, 2020.
The Director-General of the NGF, Mr. Asishana Bayo Okauru, sent out invitations to Governors late Monday stating that the deteriorating state of the economy, especially at the subnational levels will be the main focus of the meeting.
In a statement signed by the Head, Media and Public Affairs of the NGF, Abdulrazaque Bello-Barkindo, in Abuja, on Tuesday, the governors were to rub minds with the Presidential Economic Advisory Council, represented by its chairman, Bismark Rewane to x-ray the management of state economies, their challenges, opportunities and policy solutions.
The statement read in part, "Rewane had chaired the committee when it resolved the gridlock on minimum wage between states and their workers about a year ago. He will be making one of the two presentations scheduled for tomorrow's meeting.
"The subnational economy will again feature prominently as it will come up again when the governors discuss their participation in a summit organized by the Nigeria Economic Summit Group, NESG, which is due to take place, a month from now, precisely on the 26th and 27th of October 2020".
Participants at the NGF meeting could access the virtual conference room from 1:00 pm but the meeting officially started at 2:00 pm.
At the meeting, the governors received several other updates about partnerships with donor agencies and partners. One of the updates was that of the Governor Ifeanyi Okowa-led Committee, mandated to interface with the Presidential Task Force on the pandemic.
The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who is the Vice Chairman of the NGF also gave an update on discussions on Executive Order 10, while the governors discussed the security situation in the country giving special attention to the situation in Zamfara State.

Notes and Quotes from First Soil Balancing Call-in Conversation
"Soil balancing is complex, it's prevalent, and it's shown the capacity to endure. It also raises very interesting, and sometimes difficult to answer, questions. All of those are reason enough for us to chat, but as we address those questions we're also very likely to learn about soils, about crops, about farms and farmers, and the people who advise farmers and supply them."
- Matt Kleinhenz, Ohio State, vegetable production specialist
Below are a few notes and quotes from our first two Soil Balancing call-in conversation. Recordings of both calls are available at our website, go.osu.edu/SB-call-in, where you can also find details about our final call-in event on December 12, 2018, 1:30-3:00 p.m. eastern time.
What We Think Soil Balancing Does
"The physical and biological aspects of the soil have more impact on an ultimate yield than actual N, P, and K does. So we're in working with these heavier clay soils. Our main goal is to minimize stress and duration of stress on the crop, so we're trying to preserve yield, because we continually stress this crop and most of the stress on those clay soils comes from water."
- Joe Nestor, Nestor Ag, LLC (November call-in)
Joe Nestor works as an independent crop consultant in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. He estimates about 70% of the soils he works with are heavy clay. His main goal using soil balancing is to improve water infiltration for less stress on crops.
"As we reduce flooding in the fields, we end up with a healthier crop in many cases -- a crop that survives, versus a crop that dies out under flooding conditions, and as a result, fewer weeds. When the crop dies or when the crop is not vigorous what grows in those in those areas of the field are weeds primarily. And we've all seen those dead areas in the field that come up in foxtail and other weeds."
- Doug Doohan, Ohio State, weed specialist (October call-in)
Doug Doohan theorizes that soil balancing might affect weed populations indirectly through improved soil structure and infiltration. He cautions that there is no hard data on this yet, but it's a research question be is studying based on conversations with farmers.
What Soils Does SB Work Best On?
"I think guys that have promoted the Albrecht balance have kind of given people the idea it works in any soil and that's really not the case. And so I think some of that has drifted into the research facilities in thinking that it works in all situations and that's not the case."
- Bill McKibben, consultant, Soil Tech, Inc. (October call-in)
Although McKibben says he grew up as an "Albrecht guy," i.e., focused on the 65% Ca, 15% Mg base saturation recommendations, his experience has shown him this technique is much more effective on clay soils.
However, by growing and incorporating a mixed species cover crop into his soils, vegetable grower Bob Jones reports significantly increasing the CEC on his sandy loam soils. He also uses compost teas and mineral applications, rotating fields in and out of production. He feels this increase of organic matter combined with increasing his Ca:Mg ratio has led to improvements in soil and crops.
"We're raising the CEC, we're raising the organic matter levels, we're getting the calcium up in that seventy to seventy-five percent ratio with magnesium in line with that of 7:1 and that seems to be— We seem to be seeing a very marked improvement in the quality and the shelf life of the product that we're growing."
- Bob Jones, The Chef's Garden (November call-in)
Focus on the Crop, not Just the Numbers
"The number one goal, the number one objective, needs to be to grow a really healthy crop…. So in terms of priorities sometimes the lab report might indicate that we have a soil that is severely out of alignment and we need to make major adjustments, but the budget doesn't exist and it's not possible to make that happen. In those cases, the priority always needs to be to grow a really healthy crop first and then fix the soil over time as we're able to."
- John Kempf, consultant, Advancing EcoAgriculture (October call-in)
Other consultants chimed in, saying it's important to get out in the field and see what's happening. Both Kempf and McKibben recommended a Paste Analysis test to examine how nutrients are moving into the soil solution and becoming available to plants.
"I can only say what works on our farm. Going back to the question of the truth, what's the truth on your farm? Then go with that. And you can only do that by experience. My father told me a long time ago that the best fertilizer you can put on a field comes from the soles of your feet and that means walking through the field and seeing what's going on and listening to the plant. The plant's the best test mechanism we have. Does the plant look healthy?"
On-Farm Experience vs. Research
"If the universities have a different opinion than the farmers, I normally go with the farmer opinion. They may not know why something is working, but they do know that it does work. And maybe the researchers…. they may not have the whole system, where a farmer would."
- Will Glazik, organic farmer, Cow Creek Organic Farm
Glazik spoke in detail about how he applied soil balancing on his fifth-generation family farm: how his inputs changed over time and what improvements he saw. He looks to researchers to answer questions about 'why' something works, which helps him replicate a practice at his own farm.
"Scientists, I think, legitimately, have a healthy skepticism about what they might consider anecdotal reports of things that people say, especially when it comes…with the sales interest in mind, and they want us to validate that. On the other hand, farmers have a very healthy skepticism and legitimate skepticism of science, and the degree to which scientists' work is directly as applicable or useful in their work, and that's why they turn to farmers often and legitimately to get advice and counsel."
- Doug Jackson-Smith, Ohio State, natural resources and rural sociology specialist
Doug Jackson-Smith says that if soil balancing is to move forward, farmers and scientists must work together and bring the on-farm experience to science, and science to the on-farm experience.
Why Aren't More Universities Studying Soil Balancing?
Steve Culman said many scientists feel this topic has already been decided. But his review of published literature and farmer input, made him think there was more to study. Other panelists theorized that Soil Balancing was an unpopular topic for study because there were few products (and sales revenues) tied to it or because previous research was done on soils poorly suited for the technique.
"I think that the beauty of science is that we… claim to be a self-correcting enterprise. It might take a year or two, it might take ten years, it might take decades. We believe that truth is the foundational thing that we're after, and that, if we have it wrong now, that in time and with additional evidence, we're going to change the way we think about things."
- Steve Culman, Ohio State, soil fertility specialist (October call-in)
"You're asking, should we be doing more research and generating more numbers. I think so in this regard, because it is a question that I get at almost every soils talk I give. Can I improve my drainage by increasing the calcium-magnesium ratio?"
- Josh McGrath, University of Kentucky (November call-in)
