Governor Proclaims Fred Korematsu Day
by Rafu Reports 01/30/2012
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown has issued the following statement to commemorate Fred Korematsu Day in California:
"When Fred T. Korematsu received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, President Clinton said that 'in the long history of our country's constant search for justice, some names of ordinary citizens stand for millions of souls — Plessy, Brown, Parks. To that distinguished list today we add the name of Fred Korematsu.'
"Fred Korematsu was, in the best sense of both words, an ordinary hero. A native Californian, born and raised in Oakland and a welder by trade, he simply refused to accept his government's order to relocate under the brutal and misguided policy of Japanese American internment during World War II.
"Korematsu's staunch determination to be treated like the loyal American citizen he was came to define his life story, in both his decades-long legal battle against internment and his later recognition as a leader in the cause of civil rights.
"On this 92nd anniversary of his birth, we remember him as one who resisted injustice during a dark chapter in our nation's history, and later worked tirelessly to prevent its repetition.
"Now therefore I, Edmung G. Brown Jr., governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim Jan. 30, 2012, as 'Fred Korematsu Day.'"

Canada FM to press Cuba on its support for Venezuela's Maduro
By AFP Aug 22, 2019 in Politics
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland will travel to Havana next week to press Venezuela's top ally Cuba to stop propping up President Nicolas Maduro's regime and to help bring an end to the Venezuela crisis.
The August 28 trip will be her second since June for talks on Venezuela.
"We believe that it is important to explore all possible paths to a resolution of the situation (in Venezuela)," Freeland told a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"With that in mind, I'll be travelling next week to Cuba for a bilateral meeting with the Cuban foreign minister," she said.
Canada is a prominent non-Latin American member of the 12-nation Lima Group, set up to find a solution to the Venezuelan crisis.
Along with more than 50 countries including the United States, it has sanctioned the Maduro regime and thrown its backing behind National Assembly leader Juan Guaido as the legitimate acting president.
Freeland's office said the Cuba visit will touch on several urgent issues, including getting humanitarian aid into Venezuela and the Communist-run island's purchases of Venezuelan oil.
Pompeo commented: "We have consistently said that there cannot be free and fair elections so long as Maduro is on the scene. And we continue to work towards achieving that end on behalf of the Venezuelan people."

MORE CHOICE AS HYSTER EUROPE EXPANDS RANGE
Hyster Europe is expanding customer choice with the launch of a new series of general-purpose counterbalance forklifts and warehouse trucks, designed to meet the real-world needs of a wide range of operations.
"The new Hyster® UT series gives businesses more ways to select the right truck for their budget and their needs," says Rob O'Donoghue, Director Solutions – Europe, Middle East and Africa for Hyster. "When matched with the right application and the right operating volume, businesses will find these trucks straight-forward, durable, reliable, and uncomplicated to maintain."
The UT range responds to a growing market demand for affordably priced trucks that get the job done and are particularly suitable for lower intensity applications. The first available models in the series include H2.0-3.5 UT IC counterbalance lift trucks, with a capacity of up to 3.5 tonnes, the P2.0UT S Platform Pallet Truck and the S1.5UT Pedestrian Stacker. A choice of electric counterbalance lift trucks is also expected to launch in 2020, extending the range further.
Further UT lift trucks and warehouse solutions will be added to the range in 2020. The UT series complements the already proven and popular Hyster® product range, which includes the XT, FT and wide selection of electric lift trucks and warehouse solutions.
"With a comprehensive range of choices, businesses can rely on Hyster® trucks as they change, expand or optimise their operations," says Rob, explaining that the new series will receive high-quality service, support, back-up and parts through the existing global network of local Hyster® distribution partners.
All trucks in the dependable UT series are built to trusted Hyster® quality standards with both practicality and operator comfort in mind. Made with durable components and designed for ease of self-service and straight-forward maintenance, they also provide reliability and a low Total Cost of Ownership.
"Demanding operations take many forms," says Rob. "But, from low volume handling in the stock room, to lifting heavy-duty loads in dirty environments, Hyster has the right truck, at the right price, to meet the challenge."

Young student is 'embarrased and harrased' by school for wearing leggings
"In what world is it acceptable to call out and embarrass a child over THIS outfit?"
By Martha Tesema on August 30, 2016
When Kimberly Jones got a text from her 11-year-old daughter, Bella, she was upset.
Not because her daughter was texting while at school, but because the Lansing, Kansas middle schooler was forced to swap her leggings for school sweatpants after being told her tunic was too short and a dress code violation.
Jones detailed the incident and the embarrassment her daughter felt in a Facebook post(Opens in a new window) that has since gone viral.
SEE ALSO: Woman fights racist workplace dress code with cosplay
"She texted me all upset sobbing that they told her not to call me and that she had to wear borrowed sweatpants all day," Jones wrote on Facebook, which has since been removed. "Their policy is that they are not allowed to change." The Facebook post has since been removed, but a screengrab of the text is below.
"She was begging to move because they embarrassed and harassed her. Why? Because apparently 13 year old boys (she's 11 in 6th grade) can't control themselves around this. The code was because her shirt was too short," Jones explained. "In what world is it acceptable to call out and embarrass a child over THIS outfit? Her butt is even covered!"
According to a local news(Opens in a new window) report, Bella was told she was unable to contact her mother. A school district official says this rule is in place so that students facing disciplinary action can stay in the classroom and not wait in the office for their parents to arrive.
"As I sat there waiting for the principal I saw a teacher walk by with pants so tight I could see her underwear...but this is unacceptable? Are we living in the 1900s? And am I being punked because I just cannot believe this crap is real," Jones wrote on Facebook.
Leggings have now been specifically deemed prohibited in the school's handbook and, according to a statement(Opens in a new window) from the school to TODAY, it "will continue to examine our policies, how they are enforced, and how to maintain an effective learning environment while continuing to make sure all students and parents are treated with dignity and respect..."

Was Times Too Soft on Scientist Found Guilty of Sexual Harassment?
By Margaret Sullivan
October 15, 2015 8:00 am October 15, 2015 8:00 am
Updated 12:30 p.m.
An article in Sunday's Times has angered and disappointed a large number of academics and scientists, especially women, some of whom are calling for its retraction and stating that it adds to the problems women face in a still male-dominated field.
"Women are dramatically underrepresented in our field and other sciences, in part because of the sexism and misogyny that this article reinforced," said a letter to Times editors signed by more than 200 astronomers and physicists.
Their objections were to an article about Geoffrey Marcy, a prominent Berkeley professor and astronomer whom the university's investigation has found guilty of sexual harassment of students over many years. The writers charged that the article was sympathetic to Mr. Marcy, rather than to the victims, and focused on his apology and excuses, rather than to the violations. They also strongly objected to the inclusion of comments from Mr. Marcy's wife, who played down what her husband had been found guilty of doing, and to the article's referring to Mr. Marcy's "troubles."
"By overlooking the gravity of Marcy's predatory behavior," the letter said, "this article discourages women from speaking out and undermines the safety of students." (The news website Mashable wrote about the objections earlier this week; and the original reporting on Mr. Marcy's history of harassment came from Buzzfeed.)
I also heard from other Times readers who were not among those who signed the letter, but who were similarly upset. For example, Julie Rehmeyer of Boulder, Colo., a freelance math and science writer, wrote:
It was entirely inappropriate to interview Geoff Marcy's wife for this article. The important thing here isn't any infraction he committed against his wife; it's what he did to the women he harassed. His wife has no valuable perspective to offer on his harassment, and bringing her into it suggests that this is a domestic issue. She is the least likely person to have seen his inappropriate and harassing behavior or to have a perspective that will enlighten the rest of us.
The science editor, Celia Dugger, said that she considered the larger issues involved in this case important ones, and that her department was continuing to pursue coverage. (A third article was published Wednesday afternoon, reporting that Mr. Marcy was resigning.)
Ms. Dugger told me that the original article was done quickly — in a single day, after the news broke. And, she said, while she considered it essentially solid, there were elements that she would have preferred had turned out differently. The headline, which many objected to, should have emphasized the main information in the article — the harassment and university action — rather than the apology. And, she said, she would have made the commentary from Mr. Marcy's wife shorter and less prominent, but she thought it was acceptable to include because it was a part of getting his side, and because it was interesting.
She strongly defended the article's author, Dennis Overbye, who has been criticized by those who say he was too friendly with Mr. Marcy to write an objective article. And she said that The Times stood by its article, and that there would be no retraction.
"It was an evenhanded, straightforward news story," Ms. Dugger said. And while Mr. Overbye had indeed written a profile of Mr. Marcy, there is no reason to think he was biased toward him or incapable of writing a fair article, she said. She pointed out that the profile was not a puff piece but a balanced look at Mr. Marcy and his ideas.
"Because you write a profile of someone, it doesn't make you his personal buddy," she said.
She also called Mr. Overbye, whom she described as a fair-minded and highly accomplished reporter, "one of the great jewels of the science desk, and our pre-eminent writer about the cosmos." Mr. Overbye was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2014 for explanatory journalism for his work on the race to discover the Higgs boson or what some have called the God particle.
The original Times article lacked some of the telling detail of the university's report, she said, because — as he scrambled to report on Saturday — Mr. Overbye did not have access to confidential documents.
My take: This situation is considered newsworthy largely because it involves a prominent scientist at a major university. However, the victims in this situation are clearly not Mr. Marcy and his wife but rather the young female students who were preyed upon by a professor. Sexual harassment, which often comes at the hands of a person with more power than his victims, does real harm. And within the sciences, women already face gender-related obstacles in their careers.
The headline, which does so much to set the tone, was not inaccurate but it tilted toward the perpetrator's point of view, rather than that of the victims. As Ms. Dugger notes, it should have focused — as the article's first two paragraphs rightly did — on the wrongdoing and the university's findings, rather than the apology.
I also agree with the critics that Mr. Marcy's wife's commentary was out of place in this news article; as readers have noted, she's hardly a credible source here. That was particularly objectionable because Mr. Marcy's response and his wife's defense were given priority over the voices of female scientists and even over quotations describing the university's censure. Meanwhile, the victims' experiences were given shorter shrift.
In other words, for a number of reasons, the focus in this initial article was off. If The Times continues reporting on the larger topic (a worthy one), there should be no further emphasis on the "troubles" of harassers.

Pitt women's basketball suffers first loss of season vs. Purdue, 67-61
Pitt C Brandi Harvey-Carr (44) scored 18 points and grabbed five rebounds in a 71-46 win over UTEP. Steve Rotstein | Contributing Editor
The Pitt women's basketball team could do nothing to stop Purdue point guard Ashley Morrissette Wednesday night, and it resulted in their first loss of the season.
"It wasn't our best game. We struggled offensively the whole night," Pitt head coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said. "Give Purdue credit. They're a really good team, they're an experienced team, and they're led by a really good point guard."
Morrissette tallied 31 points on 12-of-17 shooting for the Boilermakers (4-4) in a 67-61 win over the Panthers (6-1) at the Petersen Events Center. First-year guard Alayna Gribble scored 14 points to lead the way for Pitt, while 6-foot-4 center Brandi Harvey-Carr chipped in a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"I liked the competition. The speed of the game was way faster than the other teams we've played," Harvey-Carr said. "I got 10 rebounds, but every game I want to look at my performance and get better. Every game is a game to progress."
The Boilermakers put the first points on the board just over a minute into the game on Morrissette's layup, but Harvey-Carr answered with a layup of her own to tie things up.
The Panthers adjusted to Purdue's steady playmaking on defense, but were unable to stop the players in the paint as the Boilermakers increased their lead to four points, 6-2. Pitt was able to find direct lines to the basket on offense, but unable to finish as eight shots in a row missed the mark.
The Panthers decreased their deficit when junior guard Aysia Bugg made one of her go-to mid-range jump shots. Gribble then returned to the court for the Panthers after missing the last three games with plantar fasciitis and quickly added three to the board, giving Pitt its first lead at 7-6.
"I had to get adjusted," Gribble said. "I was out for about a week and a half with an injury so I just had to get back in the rhythm. I didn't really start hitting shots until the second half."
The lead flipped back and forth before the quarter ended in Purdue's favor, 12-11. This was the first time all season the Panthers found themselves trailing at the end of a quarter.
After the Boilermakers put up four more points to start the second quarter, McConnell-Serio called a timeout to stop Purdue's run.
Shortly after the timeout, Bugg and sophomore forward Kalista Walters put up a pair of baskets and closed the gap to 16-15. Showing her power outside of the paint, Harvey-Carr nailed a 3-pointer to give Pitt a two-point lead. Another three from Bugg and a layup from first-year guard Jasmine Whitney pushed the Panthers' lead to 23-18.
The five-point advantage was the largest lead Pitt would enjoy all night.
After a layup by Boilermakers forward Ae'Rianna Harris, guard Andreona Keys followed with four straight free throws to put Purdue back in the lead by one point, 24-23. Pitt forward Destinie Gibbs answered with her first basket, returning Pitt's lead to 25-24.
The first half ended with Bugg leading the Panthers in scoring with seven points and Pitt clinging to a one-point lead.
Harvey-Carr started the second half with a layup, but Purdue knotted the score again with a 3-pointer by Morrissette. After two free throws from forward Brenna Wise, the Boilermakers took control of the game with an 11-0 run.
A jumper, 3-pointer and layup in quick succession pushed Purdue to a 34-29 lead. Two foul shots and a jumper made it a nine-point game for the Boilermakers' largest lead yet.
Coming back from the bench, Gribble nailed her second 3-pointer of the game. Shortly after, Harvey-Carr banked in another 3-point shot, and all of a sudden it was a one-point game at 44-43.
Purdue senior forward Bridget Perry landed a jumper after a timeout, but a foul from her teammate, center Nora Kiesler, sent Harvey-Carr to the foul line.
Both teams continued to draw fouls in a physical, back-and-forth game. With a minute left in the third quarter, Pitt had already committed four team fouls while Purdue had five. The quarter ended with Pitt behind by five points, 53-48.
Although the Boilermakers opened the final quarter with the first basket, Pitt was able to come all the way back and tie the game at 55 with two layups from Walters and a 3-pointer from Gribble. Both players reached double digits at 11 points apiece.
Purdue then broke away, putting up the next eight points and denying the Panthers any baskets until Gribble drilled her fourth triple of the game with. Whitney continued to find herself at the foul line, but was unable to make her shots, finishing 3-of-8 from the stripe.
Morrissette proved to be virtually impossible for the Panthers to guard, drawing several fouls at the end of the fourth quarter to cap off her 31-point performance. After a close game featuring six ties and 10 lead changes, Purdue held on for a 67-61 win.
"She's very good. Coming off of on-ball screens, she's very good at scoring," McConnell-Serio said about Morrissette. "If you go under screens, she'll stop behind and hit threes. If you help too much with your post, she finds open players, she'll disrupt. She can pick things apart."
The Panthers host the Charlotte 49ers at the Pete Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 p.m.

be my choice. The total cost of the engine and transmission rebuild and the SU carb conversion was over $5400. I have receipts to document the work and cost.
In 1997 it got a complete body off restoration of the body and running gear, including new bumpers which are still rust free. The cost of this was over $7800 and I also have the receipts for this work.
About $1700 in other parts were installed between 2005 and 2010.
It has been driven a few hundred miles since the restoration and always kept in heated storage.
In addition to the soft top it includes a factory hardtop which was painted at the same time as the body, a boot cover. a tonneau cover and a car cover. The soft top has a small hole in one of the corner windows and the tonneau cover has a silver dollar size hole that could be patched. The hard top needs a new headliner, but can be used as is.
It has four red line tires with almost no mileage on them, but they have flat spots from sitting which may come out with some local driving.
It needs a new radio, but does include both 'kidney panels' with speakers in them so installation would be easy. A Retrosound radio would fit with no cutting of the center panel required.

How many more hotels does Portland need? More to the point, how many more hotels does Portland want?
Since 2012, more than 700 hotel rooms have been built in Portland, bringing the total to something close to 3,000 hotel rooms, with another 400 expected to be added by 2020.
Local folks may wonder, "Who the heck is staying in all these hotels?" But the folks building them have done their due diligence and checked out the market studies that show downtown Portland hotels posting occupancy rates of 85 percent in the summer and 60 percent year-round. So the more the merrier, right?
First, there are some places Portland just does not want hotels at all, such as on the wharves of its working waterfront. Eric Cianchette, who turned an old armory into the Portland Regency, was rebuffed in his efforts to build a hotel on Maine Wharf a few years back, and David Bateman, who redeveloped the artillery base on Great Diamond Island, sparked a new six-month waterfront building moratorium with his proposal to build a hotel on Chandler's Wharf.
Ironically, the condominium complex developer Michael Liberty built on Chandler's Wharf begat a five-year ban on non-marine development back in 1987. Residential development has been prohibited ever since. Hotels are allowed if the City Council approves, but faced with opposition on the waterfront and on the council, Bateman withdrew his hotel proposal last month.
Portland is beginning to question whether all these downtown hotels are a good thing. The gentrification of the Portland peninsula and the concomitant explosion of downtown restaurants and hotels have created a critical shortage of affordable housing in Portland, a problem the city is now proposing to help solve by imposing a $5,000 per room linkage fee on new hotels, the proceeds benefiting an affordable housing trust fund. That's a start.
The hospitality industry objects to being singled out to pay for affordable housing, but it is a low-wage industry that contributes greatly to the problem. Restaurants and hotels employ 10 percent of the workforce in Cumberland County, but only account for 5 percent of the payroll. The average weekly wage in the Portland hotel/restaurant sector is $353, compared with $616 a week for all jobs.
The proposed linkage fees would only apply to new hotels, but it would be fairer to assess a smaller linkage fee on all of the hotels in Portland. The return on investment for hotels is three to five times what it is for office, retail or restaurant space, so when looking for new revenues, follow the money.
Portland, population 67,000, had more than 5 million visitors in 2016. Locals were outnumbered 75-to-1. It's nice to live in a place others want to visit, but the downside of living in a tourist mecca includes traffic congestion, low-wage jobs, inflated real estate prices and resentment.
Bottom line: when it comes to hotels, Portland has to decide whether it exists to serve visitors or to support residents. The hotel boom continues, but it will inevitably go bust. One of these days, failed downtown hotels will make very fine affordable housing.
Until then, they should subsidize it.

Some things are worth knocking off work early. A nativity play or Sports Day spring to mind, but I don't have any children of my own and 'borrowing' them is apparently illegal in the eyes of the law. Mealtimes are my baby, all 8lb 9oz of it, and I am never one to turn down an opportunity to mingle with the big guns of the industry. Offer me a chance to have a lunch cooked by some of the UCB's success stories and I am going to snap your hand clean off. Tell me two of those have just finished on Masterchef The Professionals and I'll have that annual leave booked so quickly Google wont have time to tell you about the time I got in trouble for 'borrowing' a child. It was for a Sports Day. I enjoy the competition.
The premise of the lunch is to fund raise for The Chefs Forum Education Forum, a rather marvellous foundation that helps to alleviate some of the financial worries of young people training within the industry. We get four courses from five chefs, each associated with the college, or foundation, in some way. It's a line-up that attracts the finest of the industry; restauranteurs, suppliers, chefs. It's a privilege to be involved with something so worthy.
The food is a success from start to finish. Masterchef finalist and chef at The Wilderness, Louisa Ellis, works with little more than a cauliflower and yeast to pickle, roast, and purée the vegetable into a layered dish which is rich and, dare I say it, meaty. Head chef of Opus, Mark Walsh, dusts butter poached halibut with a tarragon powder that seasons with a subtle anise. Discs of kohlrabi cloak cubes of swede, whilst cockles nestle around a buttery Jerusalem artichoke purée. There is a lot going on, but it's all held together by a burly chicken dressing. A sorbet appears from Alicias – a new company that I suggest you keep a firm eye on.
We get pork and smoked eel from the Modfather of culinary Brum, Luke Tipping, and his Masterchef disciple, Leo Kattou. It tastes like pork wrapped in smoked bacon, with leek and nuggets of squid ink dyed tempura pumpkin that I'm nicking for home. All presented in that clean and attractive manner that anyone familiar with Simpsons will easily identify with. Dessert is from The Edgbaston's Olivier Briault, a dark chocolate cremeux sitting on a dacquois and feuillentine base, which is a posh Kit-Kat to those that don't have a slight obsession with classic Ducasse desserts. I do. The addition of blood orange is not only seasonal but clever as it brings enough acidity to stop this and the cognac ice cream being too rich.
The triumph of the day is two fold; good money is made for the foundation and the UCB shows off the future of the industry. Not a beat is missed in service from those still in training. Glasses are topped-up regularly, every dish plated at the same angle. We finish on a roll call of the chefs and the students to much applause. Chefs never seem to be able to take ovation; it's not in their nature. They work mostly out of sight with the desire to feed and nothing else. It's what I admire about them and it's what the students look up to. It is clear the foundation is doing great things and long may that continue.
This was a pay what you want event and I made a sizeable donation to the foundation.


The discovery of gas on the red planet divided scientists, but it could be an indication that there are life forms on Mars.
Scientists have confirmed that a NASA rover detected a methane "burp" in 2013, and it could be evidence that there is life on the red planet.
Findings from the Mars Express spacecraft show that the methane gas burst out of ice cracks near the Gale Crater, which is thought to be where an ancient lake used to be.
The discovery of gas initially divided scientists, with some claiming that the gas came from the rover itself - which was rejected by the team.
It has now been confirmed that the a methane eruption did take place and was picked up by the Mars curiosity rover, as well as the European Space Agency (ESA) orbiter.
On Earth, the gas can be generated by geological processes, but it's mostly released by micro-organisms called "methanogens", some of which live in the guts of ruminant animals.
Finding methane in space has long been considered the starting point that could indicate the presence of life.
The gas may have occurred in a non-biological process, such as a chemical reaction that involves carbon dioxide, water and a mineral called olivine or it may have been produced by microbial bugs.
However it happened, the gas would have punched it's way through cracks on the surface of ice that was caused by pressure build up, seismic stresses or meteor strikes.
Computer simulations show that around 4,000 tonnes of methane in total could have been released from a region less than 800km (497 miles) east of the Gale Crater.
The Mars Express itself detected around 46 tonnes of methane "out-gassing" from an area of 49,000 square kilometres (30,447 miles).
The group of scientists, led by Dr Marco Giuranna from the National Institute of Astrophysics in Rome, said: "The results presented in this work not only corroborate previous detections by Curiosity but, in a broader perspective, might change our view of methane occurrence on Mars.
"Rather than by large emissions and a global presence, our data suggests that the presence of methane on Mars might be characterised by small, short emissions and transient events."
They added: "We do not address the ultimate origin of the detected Martian methane. Many abiotic (non-biological) and biotic (biological) processes can generate methane on Mars."
A "chemical sniffer" on the rover called the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer detected the gas and it only made one detection during two years of searching.
By analysing the "isotopic signature" or "atomic strain" of the carbon found in the methane, it may help scientists see whether or not the gas means there is life on Mars.

How to Harvest and Store Carrots
arinahabich/iStock/Getty Images
Carrots (Daucus carota var. sativus) are ready for harvesting when they're about 1/2 inch thick, but you can also harvest tender baby carrots. You can harvest carrots all at once, or as needed, as long as all the carrots are harvested before the weather warms up in spring.
Harvesting Period
Carrot roots mature 70 to 100 days after sowing, but you can harvest them as soon as they're large enough to eat. Baby carrots are usually harvested when they're about 3 inches long.
Exposing carrots to low temperatures before or after harvest helps keep them fresh in storage. If your area experiences frosts and frozen soil, harvest carrots for storage after the first hard frost. Alternatively, store harvested carrots in a moist, cool place at 32 degrees Fahrenheit for two to four weeks before storage. You can also leave the carrots in the ground. Spread a layer of straw 8 to 10 inches thick over the carrots to prevent the ground from freezing, and harvest the carrots as needed over winter. Freshly harvested carrots usually taste best.
Carrot roots mature 70 to 100 days after sowing, but you can harvest them as soon as they're large enough to eat.
Exposing carrots to low temperatures before or after harvest helps keep them fresh in storage.
Harvesting carrots from moist soil reduces the chances of the carrots snapping as you pull them up. If the soil is dry, water it with a garden hose fitted with a spray attachment, until the soil is moist to a depth of about 12 inches, or as deep as the carrot roots.
In most soils, carrots can be harvested by pulling them from the ground. Grab the carrot stems firmly at the base, and pull upward, twisting the root as you pull. In heavy soils, carrots may not pull free from the soil as easily. If you can't pull the carrots up, loosen the soil 1 to 2 inches away from the roots with a garden fork before trying again. Dig up the most stubborn carrots by pushing a garden fork into the soil 1 inch from the base of the stems, and lever the roots up, taking care not to damage the carrots.

Preparing for Storage
Prepare carrots for storage by trimming off the stems and rinsing the roots. Trim the carrot stems to 1/2 inch long with pruning shears. When you've finished, sterilize the pruning shear blades by wiping them with a cloth that was dipped in rubbing alcohol, to help prevent diseases from spreading. You can put trimmed carrot stems in the compost pile.
Rinse the carrots outdoors in a bucket of cold water or with water from a garden hose. Washing carrots in a sink indoors can block your drains with soil. Allow the carrots to air-dry.

Storing Carrots
Carrots stay fresh for two to four months in cool, moist conditions. You can store them in moist sand or perforated plastic bags.
Moisten clean sand by sprinkling it with water and turning it over with a trowel. Spread 1-inch layer of sand at the bottom of a wooden box, and place a single layer of carrots on the sand. Don't allow the carrots to touch. Cover the carrots with sand, and place another layer of carrots on top. Continue layering until the box is full. Store the boxes of carrots in a cool, moist cellar or pit.
Store carrots in clear plastic bags so it's easy to see signs of rotting. Poke holes 2 to 3 inches apart in the bags. Place the carrots inside, and seal the open ends with twist ties. Place the bags in the refrigerator.
Don't store carrots near apples or pears because these fruits give off gases that make carrots taste bitter.

Abstract: The soil and groundwater at Seabee Hook, Cape Hallet was described and characterised. Soil Investigation: Soil pits were dug east of Willett Cove on low mounds on disturbed and undisturbed sites, both hydrocarbon contaminated and hydrocarbon free at Seabee Hook, Cape Hallett to describe, sample and characterise each of the identified soil-landscape map units. 13 soil profiles were described and 7 ... were sampled for soil chemical, physical and microbial analyses. In situ soil respiration rates were measured. Analysis of chemical and physical properties included soil pH, electrical conductivity, soluble salts, carbon, nitrogen, total petroleum hydrocarbons, particle-size distribution, soil moisture retention, hydrocarbon degradation potentials and bacterial diversity.
Groundwater Investigations: 9 piezometers were placed in the soil in the area between the fuel tank and Willet Cove in order to allow the sampling of the groundwater, to test the extent of fuel migration and to determine the groundwater regime of the site. The piezometers were left with the pipes visible up to 20 cm above the soil surface and capped with a wooden top. Groundwater samples were collected for hydrocarbon analysis, hydrocarbon mineralization potentials and chemical analysis. Measurements of the rate and direction of groundwater flow and subsurface soil permeability on Seabee Hook was measured by installing dipwells. The duration and extent of groundwater occurrence and movement was monitored with a bromide tracer. A groundwater model of the area was prepared.
Access Constraints The data was collected for the purpose of a Master's of Science degree study. The data is contained within the thesis and in the publications. Please contact the investigator(s) or refer to the publications.

Chapter 125: The Rise Of A Poor Husband
Chapter 125 Where are they?
"John, I advise you, it's better to calm down. You're only charged with several years in jail, but in addition to the kidnapping, we don't know how long you'll be charged."
John sneered at him, "Colin! Don't you think that you can persuade me that way? I'll tell you for the last time, don't let those police to come to the airport to arrest me. If I see any police there, I'll kill her immediately!"
After speaking, John directly hung up the phone.
Jason was about to instruct his men to go to the airport to arrest him, but Colin stopped him.
Jason looked at him perplexedly, "What is it? If we don't arrest them before they go abroad, it will be difficult later. You're worried about Belle Moore, right? Don't worry, we will definitely free the hostage."
Colin shook his head, "Don't you think that it's too obvious? Besides, doesn't the Martin family also have a private hangar and runway?"
"Do you mean that they deliberately tell us about the airport?" Jason responded, "And then leading us to the airport but actually, they left using their own hangar!"
Colin nodded, "But it was too obvious. Moreover, the sound on the phone earlier, although it sounded like the airport, when Belle was on the phone, her voice was slightly softer."
Jason was blank for a moment before recalling it again. It was indeed so, as he startled in an instant, "Was that voice recorded on the phone?"
"It should be" Colin nodded, "When he let Belle speak on the phone, the phone that was used for recording couldn't keep up so the voice became smaller."
"But John can't be so stupid."
Jason was in deep thought upon hearing that, "Couldn't be that since he wanted to escape, so he didn't notice these details?"
"No, it can't be!" Colin shook his head, "Let's think about it from another perspective. If we want to escape, we won't disclose our position. He even said it directly. With the help of the sound, it is too obvious, on the contrary, it appears to be abnormal."
Jason was alarmed suddenly, then, where would they be?
Colin said lightly, "They won't be at the airport or their private hangar. As for their position, it's…."
Kinda difficult.
Jason frowned. If they weren't at the airport, where should he find them, where should they start, it would be really difficult to find out.
At this time, Colin's phone rang again….
An hour later, a huge cargo ship started sailing from Tianbei Harbor and slowly headed towards the depth of the sea.
On the deck of the ship, there were many dining tables. Among some of them, several of the Martin family members sat on it.
Alan sat down on the chair looking dejected and he let out a sigh.
"Huff!"
John said as he saw that, "Dad, don't worry. The money that we took away is quite as much as the property of the Martin Group. As long as we go abroad and started a new, by then, we can regain what we lose."
"They are really stupid. Do they think that catching me is easy?"
After he finished talking, some family members nodded their heads and praised John for his intelligence.
"That's right. John has been clever since he was young."
"This time, it's all thanks to John, otherwise all of us would've been arrested!"
"Right. John deserves to be the heir of Martin Group!"
After John heard the compliments from the crowd, he even felt prouder. At the same time, he also imagined a bright future.
After they reached abroad, since they have so many funds, they could start a new company and set their root abroad. At that time, it would be hard for the police to arrest them. After their development progresses well, they can re-enter the country, and even overthrow the Marquis Group!
Unfortunately, it was all just a dream.
"Geez, are you having dinner here? Didn't you say that you want to show how anyone would end if they offend the Martin Group? How come you're leaving?"
Everyone was startled when they heard the voice. So they turned around and saw Colin, Gerd, and Jason. All three of them were standing behind them.
John immediately stood up, looking completely shocked, "How did you find this place?"
Colin sneered at him, "Aren't all of us stupid? Of course, some people like to be smart-ass."
As he talked, all three of them sat at the dining table across them leisurely.
The members of the Martin family turned pale as they saw this and were completely terrified.
After John glanced behind them and found out there were only three of them, then he arrogantly said, "Huh! There are only three of you and yet you wanted to take us back? You are too naïve!"
"There are more than thirty of us here. Do you think you're catching us or we're the one that catches you instead? Anyway, this ship is going to sail to the vast sea. If we throw you directly to the sea, who the hell will know?"
The Martin family members instantly returned to their senses. That's right. There are so many of them, on the other side, they only have three people. They could throw them to the sea without anyone knowing about it and they could go unpunished.
When Colin heard what John said, his eyes slightly lit up as if he thought of something.
Jason who saw it couldn't help but remind him," Mr. Ward, I know what you're thinking. I treat murderers equally. The law will also not spare any murderer."
Colin shrugged after hearing this, "Won't this be regarded as the right of self-defense?"
Jason said helplessly, "Depends on the situation. Excessive self-defense could also be considered."
"Okay!" Colin didn't give much thought to it.
John also knew clearly about Colin's idea, as he yelled in discomfort, "Colin, are you turning to kill us? Let me tell you, don't you think about it. We have so many people here, it's uncertain who'll die!"
Colin shrugged helplessly, "The police has heard it. You're planning to kill me. I'm just defending myself."
"Bullshit!" John cursed angrily and continued, "Whatever, next year on this day will be your death anniversary!"
Colin ignored John, then he looked at Gerd, "You've worked hard. You just returned and yet you have to work again."
Actually, Gerd had returned the next day but he never showed up. Instead, he's secretly observing. When John took his people and ran away, he called Colin an hour ago.
This is the reason why Colin knew that John is here.
John was very angry when he saw Colin's attitude. He waved and shouted, "Kill him!"
The moment he finished speaking, more than a dozen people stood up, glared at Colin, and ready to take action anytime.
And, Jason also immediately took out his gun and loaded it.
"You have to think clearly. You've only committed a few mistakes and it will be over in a few years. But if you take action today, you will turn into a murderer. Moreover, you're killing people under someone's instruction. The crime will be more serious by then!"
"Think about it carefully, is it worth it?"
John snorted, "Don't be swayed by him. If we kill all of them, who will find out? After we reach abroad, who can control us?"
These remarks made the people of Martin Group stood firmly on John's side. But, Jason's next sentence made all of them wavered.
"We are not that stupid that only three of us that came. The backups will arrive soon. Moreover, do you think that it will be just fine after you fled abroad?"
"Our country isn't the same as they were in the past anymore. I believe we have the potential to catch anyone who fled abroad!"
Jason was right. Nowadays, the country had been developing well and had turned into a powerful country. It wouldn't be too hard to arrest the criminal from their country. Besides, they didn't commit any serious crimes. If they do it, then they will really become murderers.
The situation was completely different.
When John saw their attitude, he couldn't help but get anxious, "Don't let yourselves be fooled by him. He only wants you to lower down your guards and catches you in his trap. Think about it, is it better to go to jail or follow me to continue getting rich?"
His people remained silent.
If they fled with John, it would be different than being in jail. At the same time, they also wanted to gain more benefits. But they would be a murderer by then. It was completely incomparable to the trivial crimes that they committed before and it's not worth it!
John was about to start persuading them again when he saw this, but he also saw Alan who had sat down.

Ones and Sixes - Very Good, Based on 22 Critics
musicOMH.com - 90
Based on rating 4.5
Somehow, with each new release (and they come regularly, every two or three years), Low manage to find new ways of protracting their deceptively beautiful melodies. Each new page in their story serves to remind that they are so much more than the 'slowcore' caricature still occasionally used as a line of critical attack. Their last album, the Jeff Tweedy produced The Invisible Way, foregrounded natural acoustics, piano and the vocals of Mimi Parker.
Drowned In Sound - 90
If ever a band may be described as having become a cult institution than it's Low. The Minnesotan trio – Alan Sparhawk, Mimi Parker and Steve Garrington – have spent over two decades winning over a modest, but devoted, fanbase with their songs of faith and doubt. The band's output has been remarkably consistent given the length of their career, but the almost unanimous verdict – two years on – remains that their last full-length, The Invisible Way, was something of a misstep.
Low's new record, Ones and Sixes, is an interesting weather forecast. While their music almost always sounds like something best suited to dawn or dusk, this new record's sonics create a picture where there's no beautiful pink in the sky just as the sun rises or sets. Instead, it's gray and clouded over. If snow has fallen, it's the kind that's foreboding rather than fun.
Tiny Mix Tapes - 80
"Feel-bad days can end. Anyone can understand, anyone can ruin the plan."– GoGoGo Airheart, "Love The Depression" Clarion calls of all sorts dissolve at the lip of the void faster and faster everyday. Enthusiasts could easily be made to feel like turniphead Ostriches. But as the benevolent wonderopolis.org would gently, exhaustively like to point out, Ostriches aren't burying their heads, but turning their eggs with their beaks.
The Observer (UK) - 80
Low, an uncommonly quiet band from Duluth, Minnesota, for two decades one of American music's most resonant mainstays, are a band capable of exquisite bittersweetness, of controlled seething, of renditions of The Little Drummer Boy that will have you bawling into your eggnog. Now they sound even better, thanks to a little digital tailoring. In days of yore, "going digital" was a major statement.
Record Collector - 80
Over the course of 11 albums, Duluth, Minnesota, outfit Low have been responsible for work of a remarkable consistency, almost as if their discography has been an exercise in stylistic refinement rather than reinvention. Here then, is another excellent effort – it might not reinvent the wheel, but it reveals a band whose potency remains undiminished, setting critically high standards for themselves. For those as yet unfamiliar, Low's modus operandi is a slow-burning and repetitious – often bleak and glacial – sound, punctuated by raw outbursts of guitar courtesy of lead singer Alan Sparhawk.
Spin - 80
It's fairly common knowledge that tortoises owe their epic lifespans, hundreds of years in some cases, to their excruciatingly slow metabolism. The same holds true for other large, slow beasts, like whales, elephants, and Duluth, Minnesota's pioneering slowcore purveyors, Low. Alan Sparhawk and his romantic and musical partner Mimi Parker's eleventh record in a little over two decades, Ones and Sixes, might be the product of a similar phenomenon: "I can't explain / The slowing of my brain / The underlying vein / That flows right into you," says the latter, who shares vocal duties with her husband, on the oh-so-slow "Into You," a wooden block tap-tapping almost inaudibly under keyboard chords that bleed into each other like those lyrical fluids.
Minnesota's minimal miserabilists Low have released such a wealth of material that diving into it now is as daunting as attempting to start The Sopranos. But their output rewards commitment, gently shapeshifting with each album. Ones and Sixes, their 11th, moves their sound on from the warm guitars of 2013's Jeff Tweedy-produced The Invisible Way into colder, starker territory, striking a balance between their majestic, slow-moving melancholy and harsher experimental noise.
Pitchfork - 78
Low will always be considered the quintessential slowcore band, but their real mastery, and the secret to their decades-long vitality, lies in something more intangible than tempo. They have a preternatural mastery of arrangement and dynamics, an instinct for when and how to pick the exact right moment to lift the volume a bit, to accent a repetitive moment with this synth line or that fuzzed guitar. The steady pace and the melancholy atmospherics are important, but without their keen ear for detail, the music would simply be a haze.
The Line of Best Fit - 75
It's an unfortunate reality that, more often than not, bands do not last the test of time - and the ones that do are often born from unsuspecting circumstances. Duluth, Minnesota's Low, for example, emerged from a landscape of grunge in which every A&R of the period was frantically looking for the next Cobain. Little did they know, that of all the abrasive acts that we have now largely forgotten, it would be a quiet and unobtrusive sound that would still be alive over twenty years on.
Under The Radar - 75
Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk and their bassist (Steve Garrington has served in the role since 2011) have long been making only two kinds of records; completely essential, passionate, cohesive and cogent statements, or those that are merely excellent and serve as a nice collection of tunes. In the former camp, think Things We Lost in the Fire's elegiac culmination of their initial years as slowcore progenitors, The Great Destroyer's Dave Fridmann-led fury, or Drums and Guns' war outrage made pretty and unsettling (and repeated effectively at the infamous "Drone, not drones" one-song set at the 2013 Walker Art Center Rock the Garden). The latter group would contain, let's say, Trust's water-treading in Fire's wake, C'mon, and its overcorrection after the aforementioned Fridmann fury, and Ones and Sixes, Low's twelfth full-length (or eleventh, depending on whether you consider Songs For a Dead Pilot an EP), another nice collection of tunes that lacks the urgency of their essential work but still comes with plenty to recommend.
New Musical Express (NME) - 70
Based on rating 3.5/5
As long as Minnesota's minimal rock institution Low can continue making albums, there will surely be people eager to buy them. 'Ones And Sixes' is their eleventh in just over two decades, during which time they've weathered some personal turmoil but have become a widely-admired part of American indie's furniture. The challenge, then, is to maintain their essence without merely revising past glories.Low's glacially slow, sparsely arranged music has been tended to by several producers over the years – most recently Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, on 2013's largely successful 'The Invisible Way'.
Low are slow. The sedateness, the slow velocity, of the band's early years persist as the hallmarks that distinguish the group from so many trends that have come and gone since 1994 debut I Could Live in Hope. Though it is the memory of that slowness, as opposed to its present fact, that clouds the critical conversation about Low. 2002's Trust (the direct middle of the band's discography so far) was a turning point, after which the textures and tempos of the band would be less settled or predictable.
Consequence of Sound - 65
Based on rating B-
Personally, no music genre seemed as tied to a single band as slowcore was to Low. In the intervening years, I realized the importance and greatness of other bands given that heading (Galaxie 500, Radar Bros., etc.), and Low have pushed beyond the boundaries attributed to the genre. But to this day, the word slowcore evokes Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's haunted harmonies and a drum playing the heartbeat of someone feeling the pained moments the singers often evoke.
Rolling Stone - 60
Low have been indie rock's most economical songwriters for 20 years and running, but their 11th LP takes a bold step toward pop. "What Part of Me," with its upbeat percussion, fuzzy guitar textures and sweet harmonized lyrics about relationship boundaries ("What part of me don't you own?"), feels like a sideways response to the post-1989 maximalism of today's Top 40; "Into You" is a gospel-inflected, subtly sexy slow jam; and "The Innocents" sets accusatory vocals over a crunching electro-industrial beat, all to excellent effect. Elsewhere, on the gentle, pained duet "Lies," Low remind us they're still masters of doing a lot with a little.
DIY Magazine - 60
Low's atmospheric eleventh studio album offers fans plenty of diverse songs that are nostalgic enough to remind of their earlier albums such as 'Long Division', however simmering with a wonderful electronic undercurrent. While echoing guitars are at the forefront of the tracks featured, 'Ones and Sixes' distinguishes itself from earlier records in that it's built on a foundation of diverse electronic sounds. From the rhythmic yet minimalist electronic beats found in 'Congregation' and 'Into You'.
If the relative warmth and hopefulness of 2011's C'mon and 2013's The Invisible Way had you wondering if Low were starting to get happy on us after all these years, don't fret -- 2015's Ones and Sixes shows that anxiety and grief are still the dominant emotions in Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's world. While Low's two previous albums boasted production and instrumental accompaniment that brought out an emotional generosity that was a real change from the cool isolation of their best-known work, for Ones and Sixes the group and producer BJ Burton have opted for a stark and chilly sound, dominated by electronic pulsebeats and waves of polished noise that give the songs an unforgiving, alien backdrop. Despite the brushed aluminum sound of much of the album, one of the greatest strengths of Low's work for Sub Pop has been the beauty of Sparhawk and Parker's vocals, with their harmonies sounding even stronger with the passage of time, and that's just as true on Ones and Sixes, as the humanity of their voices gives this music a hint of body heat and warm breath.
Dusted Magazine
Their review was positive
Low — Ones and Sixes (Sub Pop)Photo by Zoran OrlicThe distant drone that opens Ones and Sixes will be familiar to long-time fans of Low, and it has a certain association; similar sounds are subtly woven through their darker efforts like The Curtain Hits the Cast, Trust and Drums and Guns. Of course, it's not so long ago that the trio didn't have much in their oeuvre to contrast their starker side; it's only with 2011's bright, often wryly funny C'mon and 2013's warmly empathetic The Invisible Way that Low have made records that really pull away from the rigorous chill and tightly controlled passion at the core of much of the trio's work (even 2001's beloved Things We Lost in the Fire seems with more historical context to be more of a half-step towards their recent thaw than anything else). As with most bands worth listening to 20 years(!) into their career, Low have become adept at the skill of being neither slavishly devoted to their past nor afraid of it, and with Ones and Sixes they've pulled together many of their disparate sides in a masterful survey of what makes them one of the great rock bands of their era.
Masters of transforming emptiness into swelling, sweeping orchestrations of musical and mental noise, Low are truly intense and joyful on their newest exhibition of off-kilter, subterranean pop. Despite its relatively minimal instrumentation, virtually every song here crackles and hums with distorted, altered familiarity. Twenty-two years since forming Low in Minnesota, spouses Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker still sing harmonies impeccably.
The earliest recordings by Low now sound like faded memories, snapshots of a band that would reach its creative apex later in life. Where some artists grow softer and more introspective as they age, the Minnesota-based trio of guitarist Alan Sparhawk, drummer Mimi Parker, and bassist Steve Garrington has darted into another direction entirely. Over the past decade, notably since signing to Sub Pop Records, Low has been unrelenting in shaking loose of its initial association as a somnambulistic ensemble.
'Ones and Sixes,' new album from Low. 'Ones and Sixes,' new album from Low.. Don't let the gentle demeanor fool you. Low's music tends to be typecast as slow and quiet, but the typecasters couldn't be more wrong. Slow, maybe, but there's often something profoundly disquieting about the ….
Their review was generally favourable
The title of Low's new album Ones And Sixes seems like a statement of intent - instead of existing in the middle ground, they would rather take risks, even if the results may divide opinion. Over the band's twenty plus years - husband and wife Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, along with more recent recruit Steve Garrington, have constantly found ways to push their sound into different shapes. Initially they set themselves some pretty narrow parameters: drums, guitars, vocals - tempos slowed down to a sub-funeral march and songs stripped down to their bare bones.

Libero Ferrario (* 6. Juli 1901 in Parabiago; † 14. Februar 1930 ebenda) war ein italienischer Radrennfahrer und Weltmeister.

1923 wurde Libero Ferrario in Zürich Weltmeister im Straßenrennen  der Amateure. Im Jahr darauf belegte er bei den Weltmeisterschaften Platz vier. 1922 und 1923  gewann er die Coppa Bernocchi, 1924 das Tre Valli Varesine und die Coppa del Re, 1923 zudem den Piccolo Giro di Lombardia. 1926 belegte er beim Giro d'Italia Platz zwei auf der neunten Etappe, hinter seinem Landsmann Alfredo Binda.

Ferrario starb im Alter von 28 Jahren an Tuberkulose, nachdem er schon jahrelang gekränkelt hatte und den Radsport hatte aufgeben müssen. In seinem Heimatort Parabiago lebt die Erinnerung an den jung verstorbenen Radsportstar fort: Das örtliche Sportstadion ist nach ihm benannt, und der örtliche Radsportverein heißt Societá Ciclista Libero Ferrario Parabiago. Auch ein Amateurrennen, die Targa Libero Ferrario, wird zu seinem Gedenken in Parabiago ausgerichtet. Zudem wurde eine Zwischenwertung der Coppa Bernocchi nach ihm benannt. 1973, zum 50. Jahrestag von Ferrarios WM-Sieg in Zürich, startete der Giro di Lombardia in Parabiago. Der Beitrag über Ferrario auf der Website der Kommune ist überschrieben mit: Libero Ferrario è un mito che vive in mezzo a noi. (= "Libero Ferrario ist ein Mythos, der mitten unter uns lebt.")

South Africa's northernmost province borders on Botswana, Zimbabwe and Moçambique. The Limpopo River, the second largest river in Africa draining to the Indian Ocean, is the border of South Africa for some 640 km. The eastern part of the Province is the home to South Africa's citrus industry.
It is rugged part of the world, where water erosion over the millennia has carved spectacular landscapes. It is notable particularly for the Waterberg Biosphere, a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve of some 5,800 square miles in the southwest of the Province. This region is a harsh but rewarding area of startling beauty, a beauty which lies in its superb vistas, mountain gorges, clear streams and rolling bushveld hills, all rich in indigenous species of plant and animal life – including the 'Big Five'. This is an area where the heat is quenched and aching muscles soothed by the mineral baths of the myriad hot spring resorts. With human archaeological finds dating to the origin of human beings as well as abundant animal life in both formal and private game reserves, it is a well-endowed area off the beaten track for tourists.
One unusual tourist attraction is the Sunland Big Baobab, renowned because in its hollowed trunk there is established a bar and a wine cellar! The tree has been carbon dated and its age is estimated to be 1,060 years, plus or minus 75 years.
