Parking sensors and rearview cameras allow for easier parking, without worrying about other parked cars, low retaining walls, or undetected pedestrians. A sensor system is especially vital in identifying objects that are out of one's field of vision. Sensors help to avoid potential collision points, while assisting a driver to park with greater accuracy and ease. Equipped with a speaker system, the sensors emit various tone warnings to ensure parking safety.
In difficult situations, parking sensors and rearview cameras can be very advantageous – even for so-called expert drivers. It could be a poorly lit parking lot; a very confined, tight space; or simply a difficult parallel parking spot. Whatever the case, sensors make parking much easier, without banging into other cars, and without denting the bumper on some hidden pillar or fence. Truth is, dents, scrapes and scratches can make for a stressful parking experience.
Once installed, parking sensors and rearview cameras can very often prevent serious accidents. Beyond physical damage to a vehicle, pedestrians and pets are safer when sensors and cameras are installed. And with high-pitched warning alerts, even pulling out of the driveway is safer for all concerned. While many late model cars are factory equipped with sensors and/or cameras, all makes and models of vehicles (cars, trucks, or vans) can be properly equipped.
as well as novice drivers. The benefit of having both systems in operation allows a driver to park, drive, and reverse with much greater precision and less stress.

Walking towards the starting point of the Colour Run on Sentosa Island – a 5km race in which everyone starts out in white, but finishes plastered with colour – I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of more than 5000 youngsters sporting brightly coloured running shoes, tutus, headbands and knee-length socks.
I was here though – not just for a fun day out – but also to be The Chain Reaction Project's running buddy of someone from Runninghour, a co-operative that promotes the integration of people with special needs through sports. Runninghour seeks sporty volunteers to team up with people who are intellectually, physically or visually challenged so that their members can more confidently participate in mainstream sporting events.
That morning, Zhang Tingjun – the co-founder of The Chain Reaction Project – WhatsApp-ed me and suggested that we make an eighties fashion statement. Great, I thought, that's a good excuse to put on my electric blue leggings! Little did I know that they would come in useful later in the day.
A week before the Colour Run, I woke up bright and early for Runninghour's training session. Like most Singaporeans, I grew up in a mainstream environment surrounded by people with 'normal' intellect and health. While this seemed ordinary, it's really just a bubble. Sadly, I had never interacted with anyone who just needs a little more special attention . . . until this morning, when I would be a running buddy for the first time.
Here was my chance to really be part of the group, to step up as a Running Buddy.
She did as I advised and we chatted as we jogged. With a few words of encouragement, the barriers between us were broken.
Unlike previous adventures with The Chain Reaction Project – climbing a mountain or biking with my dad through Manila's slums to raise awareness about human trafficking and urban poverty – being a Colour Run buddy was low risk and easy to do. All you need is a dose of empathy and patience to bond with someone with special needs. Isn't this what social inclusion is all about?
Back at Sentosa on the day of the Colour Run, I was paired up with Helen, a teenager with a ponytail and funky Barbie-pink running shoes before flag off. Despite a limp in her leg, Helen was upbeat and excited about the race. I was pretty pumped too.
"Just to let you know, I am partially blind but I can see your bright blue legs!" Helen chirped.
My unique fashion sense became her reference point for the rest of the day.
For the next 5km, we had a wonderful time bonding over splashes of colours and stories about our lives. Helen told me how she was born with a leg impairment, then years later, a high fever caused her to partially lose her sight. Nevertheless, she enjoys weekly canoeing sessions with her school mates at Hwa Chong Institution and studying biology. Her physical disabilities never dampened her positive spirit, and certainly have not slowed down her intellectual pursuits.
It is not the destination but the journey that counts, and I am glad to be part of the journey as Singapore progresses towards an inclusive society ONE by ONE . . . by ONE.
If you would like to get involved in a social cause through sport, Runninghour will be organising its first nation-wide race themed "Run So Others Can" on 22 March 2015. The co-operative hopes to attract over 5,000 participants, involving visually, intellectually and physically challenged runners as well as the general public, in a display of self-reliance and empowerment to do good and to do well. For more information, please visit http://www.runninghour2015.com/.

The History of U.S. Postal Codes
The history of the post service in the U.S. is long, complicated, and supremely important for westward expansion. But, a lot of people might not realize that postal codes are actually quite recent. What's more, the two-letter codes that people are familiar with today actually came after the invention of ZIP codes.
An Abbreviated Early History
The story starts in 1831–well before the states were given codes–with that year's Table of Post Offices in the United States. The Table was essential for people to figure out where they could send their mail and where it could be received back when they were expected to retrieve it themselves. In 1831 the Post Office Department included a list of acceptable state abbreviations to use when addressing letters. They preferred that people just write the full names, but people enjoyed the quicker and easier way of writing (just like today).
The Beginnings of the Modern Mail Service
President Abraham Lincoln (a former postman himself) was persuaded to begin free letter shipping in cities in 1863. This was the origin of the modern system of home letter deliveries. As mail carriers began taking more complicated and longer routes through the cities, the number of carriers grew. Due to the growing workforce, the admission of new states, and more interstate mail thanks to the likes of the Pony Express, the government sent out a new, bigger list of abbreviations in 1874. These would be the default codes until World War II.
When the war called away huge numbers of the country's young men, the post was seriously understaffed. The people who were left also weren't as familiar with the parts of town they didn't work in prior. The post offices began breaking down cities into broad numbered regions (like Birmingham 7, etc.) to narrow the field for carriers. This system proved effective, and became de facto practice up until the release of the Postal Bulletin for June, 1963. The bulletin introduced the ZIP Code as a fast and easy way of organizing mail. They also released new shorter state abbreviations to make room for ZIP codes on letters.
The Current System
But what about the postal codes? That same year, in October, came Publication 59. With it came the codes we have today. They were originally intended as optional tags for businesses, but became standard for everyone over time. Since 1963 there has been only one change to the postal codes; in 1969, at the request of the Canadian government, the code for Nebraska was changed from NB to NE, to avoid confusion between Nebraska and New Brunswick.
In addition to the fifty states and D.C., the United States also holds several overseas territories. The populated ones have their own postal codes, but only the two most populous (Puerto Rico and Guam) have abbreviations. Some former territories still maintain postal codes, as they are considered free associates of the United States. The Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau are all free associates. These are included on a second table below.

Charts compare COVID deaths in countries that used hydroxychloroquine early and those that didn't
By James Stansbury
Monday, the Family Foundation of Virginia reported that the State health commissioner, Dr. Norman Oliver, intends to use his emergency powers to force every Virginian to receive a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available.
Virginia's Gov. Northam (survivor of his infamous blackface scandal) has taken no official policy position so far. However, the Democrat-controlled Legislature has killed at least three Republican bills that would have offered a way for someone with a sincere religious objection to be exempt from any COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The most recent casualty, H.B. 5082, "would've ensured that Virginia didn't mandate a COVID-19 vaccine if it is derived from human fetal tissue, changes the RNA or DNA of a person, or was not first tested on laboratory animals before being tested on humans." These actions triggered a "March against Mandates" in Richmond on September 2 by Virginia Freedom Keepers.
But wait — there's more politics brewing. Yesterday's Richmond Times-Dispatch published a letter from a former FDA medical officer. He agrees that using convalescent blood plasma from patients who developed antibodies works, and he cited its many successes dating back to the 1918 flu pandemic. However, he claims that the number of people tested this time was "far out of proportion to the number needed for safety analyses." He also objects that authorities in the FDA and Donald Trump made overly optimistic claims that it could result in a 35% reduction in mortality and said this type of politics undermines the FDA's credibility.
Meanwhile, the left's successful war against hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) rages on. The subject was brought up repeatedly by highly respected Yale epidemiology professor Dr. Harvey Risch, this time when interviewed by Mark Levin on Fox News a couple of Sundays ago. Dr. Risch is adamant that HCQ can significantly reduce mortality if administered early to prevent the potentially deadly inflammation reaction that is especially common in older patients and those with comorbidities. Thousands could have been saved. PragerU posted similar claims by several frontline doctors here. The left's cancel culture got some of these same doctors fired.
It has been my personal quest to find some hard proof that compares countries that have widely used HCQ early in the pandemic with those who did not. Some key data finally emerged from a site devoted to climate change in a 23 August article by Leo Goldstein titled "Hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 Treatment, Actual Usage in the USA." The needed comparisons were found in one of the author's references, titled Early treatment with hydroxychloroquine: a country-based analysis.
This is not an easy report to read, but it does provide some easy-to-understand visual comparisons between the countries known to have very limited use of HCQ use and those with widespread early HCQ use. The differences are remarkable, as seen in the below Figure 4. It shows cumulative daily deaths per million through 31 August. The countries listed on the left are limited HCQ–users and represented by red lines. The widespread HCQ–using countries are listed on the right and represented by green lines.
The bottom line is that total deaths to date per million for countries using HCQ averages over 80% lower than in countries with limited use. So far so good…
The referenced analysis did not chart the moving average of daily deaths for any of these countries to help know when and how high the deaths peaked or how low they fell. However, by modifying a chart from the Our World in Data website, it was possible to depict a seven-day moving average of COVID-19 daily deaths per million for the same countries shown in the above Figure 4 chart (minus some smaller countries to make it fit). Note that the scales are different because the previous chart counts the cumulative total deaths per million from the beginning, and the below chart depicts the change in the average daily death rates over the same time period. The trend lines tell the story.
Note that all countries with limited HCQ use surged initially, but most have decreased to below 1 death per million in recent months! The U.S. and Mexico are troubling exceptions. Also, Sweden's deaths spiked higher than the U.S.'s, but the Swedes had only a limited lockdown and post the lowest daily deaths. Perhaps these other non-HCQ countries achieved herd immunity or started using it or other anti-inflammatory drugs later. In comparison, virtually all the countries reporting early widespread HCQ use averaged below one death daily per million during the entire pandemic without an initial surge. Think of the thousands of potential deaths they avoided.
In conclusion, these charts confirm that countries with early widespread HCQ use have had significantly fewer COVID-19 deaths per million. The problem now is to get the leftists to end their deadly war on HCQ. The authorization of widespread use of HCQ could also lessen dependence on a potentially risky vaccine or convalescent blood plasma. Regardless, HCQ is most effective when administered early in the progression of the disease. Doing it early necessitates outpatient use.

So are you sick of instant replay yet? I'm not… Ya, I miss the animated arguments between the umpires and managers. But overall, they have been fast and making the game's outcome more accurate of the level of play. Plus, check out their setup in New York. Could you imagine this in your FanCave with every camera angle in every park?!
But what you won't need Instant Replay to see is the craziness that occurred in the (suspended due to rain) Reds/Pirates game on April 14th. During the game, the Pirates became only the 3rd team in MLB history to hit three sets of back-to-back home runs as a team in a single game. And there are still 3-innings left in the game.
It's the first time the feat has been completed since 1977 and the combo of Walker/Sanchez accounted for 2 of the 3 back-to-back round trippers. To add to the home run derby in Cincinnati, the Reds have four homers of there own. So there are currently a total of 10 home runs between both teams which is almost double the amount of home runs my team has in the home run derby. Maybe I should trade out my guys for the middle of the Pirates lineup. It definitely can't hurt my team.


The term "governance" refers to the system of management and controls exercised in the stewardship of your organization. It includes the responsibilities of your organization's owners/shareholders, board of directors, and senior leaders (administrative/operational and health care). Corporate or organizational charters, bylaws, and policies document the rights and responsibilities of each of the parties and describe how your organization will be directed and controlled to ensure (1) accountability to stakeholders and other owners/shareholders, (2) transparency of operations, and (3) fair treatment of all stakeholders. Governance processes may include the approval of strategic direction, the monitoring and evaluation of senior leader performance, the establishment of executive compensation and benefits, succession planning, financial auditing, risk management, disclosure, and shareholder reporting. Ensuring effective governance is important to stakeholders' and the larger society's trust and to organizational effectiveness.

A New Blood Component Revealed
The Human Body Gets More Complex as Research Progresses.
Concurrently, Evolution Appears More Impossible.
by Jerry Bergman, PhD
The goal of evolution is to explain the natural world and, specifically, humans as being 'created' purely as a result of time, chance, the outworking of natural law, and the effects of mutations. In Darwin's day this task was difficult, but in our day it is far more difficult because new research reveals the human body is far more complex than Darwin ever imagined, or ever could imagine. In his day we had a good grasp of human gross anatomy, but knew close to nothing about microscopic anatomy, the cell, and the workings of the genome or the details of the body organs such as the endocrine system. The cell alone is now acknowledged as the most complex machine in the entire universe.
Even the components of blood were not yet understood in 1859, and this is why blood transfusions often failed because the ABO system was not understood then. In 1901, Karl Landsteiner documented that several blood types existed, and this was the main problem in transfusion rejection. For his work, he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930. Also in 1859, Darwin knew almost nothing about the laws of genetics. In 1865, Gregor Mendel documented his discovery that biological inheritance follows definite rules which he was able to demonstrate with experiments on pea plants.
Proteins are coded by triplet codons of DNA "letters" A, C, T, and G. (Illustra Media)
Understanding those rules of genetics has taken another century. In 1911, almost 30 years after Darwin died, Thomas Hunt Morgan proposed that genes are arranged in a line on the chromosomes. His work, combined with the Hershey-Chase experiment and Chargaff's data on nucleotides, finally persuaded biologists that DNA is the genetic material, not protein which was the previous belief. The rules for transcribing DNA to build protein were not understood, even at a basic level, until in 1953, after examining Rosalind Franklin's unpublished data, James D. Watson and Francis Crick published the double-helix structure for DNA. This paper showed one sugar-phosphate backbone running in the opposite direction to the other side, and the four DNA bases were located in the middle of these two sugar-phosphate backbone rungs, forming a code of nucleotides. They further suggested a mechanism by which the DNA molecule can replicate itself and function to accurately transmit genetic information in the form of a code of precisely sequenced nucleotides that get transcribed then translated into another code of amino acids. It was only in 1960 that John Kendrew described the structure of myoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in muscle. The structure of many more proteins followed. In 1990, French Anderson, et al., performed the first approved gene therapy on a human patient.
Growth of Knowledge
Red blood cells circulate through arteries, capillaries, and veins.
Growth of scientific knowledge has increased exponentially. Studies estimated that, until the year 1900, human knowledge doubled only approximately every century. By 1950, human knowledge doubled every 25 years, and in the year 2000, human knowledge doubled every year. Now, the sum total of human knowledge is estimated to double almost every day.[1] Among of thousands of examples is blood. Surely in 2020 we have a good understanding of blood, didn't we? It's an organ we have been studying since 1901 when Karl Landsteiner documented that several types exist. Maybe, however, we do not know as much as we thought. A major discovery was announced on January 23:
Does the blood we thought to know so well contain elements that had been undetectable until now? The answer is yes, according to a team of researchers which has revealed the presence of whole functional mitochondria in the blood circulation. The discovery may deepen our knowledge of physiology and open up new avenues for treatment.[2]
Mitochondria are organelles that exist in all eukaryotic cells. Called the powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondrion plays a major role in converting energy in food to charge adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main source of energy used in the cell. Charging ADP into ATP is similar to pushing a dart into a dart gun and then firing it. ATP Synthase continually pumps out ATP molecules, but each one discharges as a unit to power a molecular machine. Some machines require more than one ATP to function. Mitochondria possess their own genome that is separate from the one contained in the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA consists of 37 genes that are transmitted solely by the mother to both males and females.
An Exciting New Discovery
It was known that mitochondria are found outside of cells in the form of fragments encapsulated within microvesicles. Under certain limited conditions, blood platelets release intact mitochondria into the extracellular space. Researchers from Université de Montpellier (in southeast France) have "now revolutionized knowledge of this organelle by revealing that whole functioning extracellular mitochondria are in fact found in the bloodstream." Specifically, the researchers learned from earlier research that "the plasma of a healthy individual contains up to 50,000 times more mitochondrial DNA than nuclear DNA." From this discovery, they
hypothesized that for it to be detectable and quantifiable in the blood in this manner, the mitochondrial DNA had to be protected by a structure of sufficient stability. In order to identify such a structure, plasma samples from around 100 individuals were analyzed.[3]
They demonstrated, for the first time, that primary and tumor cultured cells secreted mitochondria, specifically full-length mitochondrial DNA (0.22 mm long) containing specific mitochondrial membrane proteins. Furthermore, "Oxygen consumption analysis revealed that these mitochondria are respiratory competent,"[4] meaning that they are working as powerhouses. There's power in the blood!
The authors speculated on the role of these mitochondria, thinking they may have a signaling role which could be important for early detection of cancer and other diseases. The observation made by another study, noted above, indicates that the plasma of a healthy individual contains up to an amazing 50,000 times more mitochondrial DNA than nuclear DNA. To be detectable and quantifiable in the blood serum, the mitochondrial DNA must be protected by a stable structure.[5]
Figure 1. Using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) the researchers were able to image the newly-found extracellular mitochondrial carriers.
The magnitude of this finding can be compared to living in a large house for 50 years and then discovering that the floor-to-ceiling bookcase in the library is connected to full-length door with hinges, and the entire unit moves. When the bookcase is pulled out, it reveals a large room the owners never knew was there! In the room was found another library, this time of very old valuable rare books and manuscripts!
The critical question is "what is the role of these intact, circulating, extra-cellular and cell-free mitochondria in the body?"[6] Several functions have been proposed. It may turn out that these free-living mitochondria have a critical role to play in life. These organelles have been there all along as we have been peering through our microscopes for the past century, looking at blood for diagnostic as well as research purposes.
Some Possible Functions for These Free-Living Mitochondria
The structure of the mitochondrial DNA is similar to bacterial DNA, a fact that inspired the theory of endosymbiosis developed by the late Lynn Margulis (see 16 Feb 2016). Their shape implies that they have the ability to induce immune and inflammatory responses. Given this theory, the researchers hypothesize that these circulating mitochondria could be involved in many physiological and/or pathological processes requiring communication between the cells, such as involved in inflammation systems.
Studies have demonstrated certain cells can transfer mitochondria among themselves. Extracellular mitochondria may perform various messenger tasks for the entire body.[7] They also may supply energy to various structures in the blood. Moving back to our analogy, this mitochondria discovery is more like finding, not just a room behind the bookcase, but an entire suite that was there all along. When discovered, we have to ask ourselves, "How come I didn't notice this suite, that was always there, before now?"
As with the discovery of the structure of DNA, this single study has opened up an entirely new area of research that no doubt will to lead to hundreds of papers and several new breakthroughs in the area of cell biology, disease, mitochondrial function and the role and function of blood. The growth in knowledge of biology—particularly cell biology—discovered since the time of Darwin helps us to fathom the degree of ignorance of biology at the time in which the theory of evolution was formulated. Scientists back then knew only a very small fraction of what we know today. If Darwin were alive now, would he still defend his theory of evolution? Would he have come up with it at all if he lived in the 21st century?
As Darwin himself conceded: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."[8] Since 1859, hundreds of examples have been discovered that meet this challenge. They include every organ in the body, including blood and the organelles in the cells. These discoveries present a massive roadblock in the way of the long outdated, simplistic and essentially-falsified Darwinian explanations.[9]

The grape leveller: Exploring the world beyond sav, chard and pinot gris
Claire Adamson | Guest writer
Expand your horizons by giving these less popular white varietals some love.
A nice glass of white wine is one of life's great pleasures, but if you're restricting yourself to the iconic trio of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and pinot gris, perhaps occasionally branching out into a cheeky riesling, you're really missing out. It's understandable: if you see something on a wine list that you have no idea how to pronounce, let alone what it might taste like, you're likely to opt instead for the familiar. But variety is the spice of life, so use this handy guide to help you embark on a journey to broader vinous horizons. You can buy all these wines, plus plenty more familiar varietals too, at Fine Wine Delivery Co.
Forrest Grüner Veltliner and Esk Valley Verdelho
If you like pinot gris, try the Esk Valley Verdelho
Open the fridge at any party and there'll be at least four bottles of pinot gris staring back out at you. I'm not sure why – the variety's greatest failing is its inconsistency, and you can never be sure if you are going to get something yum, or something that tastes like you stirred perfume into your Mountain Dew.
I am always looking for alternatives, and verdelho, a Portuguese variety, is a great one. It's not a complete Johnny-come-lately to this side of the world – it has been grown and enjoyed in Australia for many years, before hopping the ditch to New Zealand.
Esk Valley's own verdelho was planted in Hawke's Bay in 1998, and had its first vintage in 2002. It has since offered a point of difference for people looking to expand their palates beyond pinot. Verdelho has that same lush, spicy stonefruit shot through with honey, but what this bad boy's got that pinot doesn't is a good whack of acidity. It's punchy and zingy, and is more suited to prawns cooked in butter and garlic than it is to saag aloo.

If you like chardonnay, try the Forrest Grüner Veltliner
Forrest's grüner veltliner is a dry, minerally wine. It's not comparable to chardonnay in taste necessarily, but it is comparable in terms of its stature. This is a noble, majestic wine, one for special occasions and carefully considered food matches.
Grüner veltliner is Austria's most important grape variety, alongside riesling. Here, it sits on steep, chilly hillsides overlooking the Danube river, making rich, complex and super stony wines. In New Zealand, you're more likely to see it on Marlborough's wide river terraces, but the wines it makes are still very, very nice, albeit with their own character.
The Forrest Grüner Veltliner is dry. Not light and crisp dry, but the kind of dry that announces itself by way of making your whole mouth start salivating rapidly. Once you get past that, you start to taste honey, and fresh lime, and a hint of melon and pineapple. It is rich and fleshy and complex enough to be the wine you pair with your fanciest dinner, like a whole roasted fish, or a lovingly stirred risotto with truffle.
Coopers Creek Albariño and Villa Maria Arneis
If you like sauvignon blanc, try the Coopers Creek Albariño
I must confess a bias on this substitution. I don't care enormously for sauvignon blanc, but my love for albariño knows few bounds. I've never been to Marlborough, but I have been to Galicia in the northwest corner of Spain, where local examples of albariño are ubiquitous on tables alongside the most delicious octopus you'll ever eat.
Albariño, with its mix of citrussy acidity and deep, waxy complexity, has begun to make itself known around Aotearoa, particularly in the sunny river terraces of the Hawke's Bay. Nautilus and Villa Maria have been making some very good examples that are exciting wine nerds and making casual drinkers learn what a tilde does to the letter n.
Coopers Creek, long a bastion of weird and wonderful grape varieties, is making a wine in Hawke's Bay that would make any Marlborough sauvignon blush. It has the citrus on the palate, but there's also a crumble's worth of apple and a decent amount of nectarine. It's got a kind of grippy acidity that makes me remember that I'm comparing it to sauvignon blanc, but that is so much more complex and interesting than a lot of the more commercial examples of our most ubiquitous grape variety.
It is a testament to this wine that even though I drank it alongside a dinner that was so spicy it destroyed my palate, it still hit the spot.

If you like dry riesling, try Villa Maria Arneis
Arneis, in its homeland of northwest Italy, is kind of a big deal. It's a white wine in a sea of red, and has to provide a lot of flavour and complexity to prove itself alongside its very prestigious countrymen, barolo and barbaresco. It's a fickle wee grape, tough to get a good wine out of, which is why its name comes from the local Italian word for rascal.
Cooper's Creek have been making it for a while, but as grüner veltliner and albariño have started to gain popularity, producers have been looking for new varieties that might work well with what we've got in sunny, cold New Zealand.
Villa Maria, a company with a hearty appetite for experimentation, has embraced the weird and the wonderful, and is producing a dry, intensely flavoured arneis to help us expand our vinous horizons. It's got a richness behind its immediate zinginess, with touches of feijoa, pineapple, vanilla and even fresh raspberries.
Amisfield Chenin Blanc and Millton Riverpoint Vineyard Viognier
If you like off-dry riesling, try Amisfield Chenin Blanc
Honestly, if you like wine full stop, then try this one. Amisfield's chenin blanc is rich and dense, and lusher than Marlon Williams in full croon. It's got honey, pineapple, kiwifruit and sherbet all going on, with enough acidity to keep you fully immersed in the here and now. It's this chenin blanc's world, honey, and we're just living in it.
If you can't tell from the above paragraph, I really love chenin blanc. Millton Estate, based in Gisborne, is New Zealand's pioneer of this grape variety, and the wine it makes is absolutely one of my favourites. Happily, more producers around the country are beginning to get on board and make some lovely wines from chenin. This one, from Central Otago, has a little more sweetness than you might expect from this variety, but I don't hate it at all – it has a lot in common with riesling.
Chenin blanc's origins lie in France's Loire Valley, which is also the spiritual home of our national treasure, sauvignon blanc. Like sauvignon blanc, chenin is widely travelled. In fact, it has made itself quite at home in South Africa's Western Cape, where rich, waxy chenin blanc is everywhere.
It hasn't been an easy road though – chenin blanc grapes can make a lot of wine very easily, but the variety needs a firm hand to make sure this volume is kept in check, or the wines will be bland and insipid. South African Chenin Blanc has a bit of a reputation that it is just now managing to shake off, after decades of prizing volume over quality.

If you like viognier, try the Millton Riverpoint Vineyard Viognier
OK, I know what I did. But bear with me: viognier's been around for a minute. Lots of New Zealand producers are making it in heaps of different parts of the country. It's kind of a cult wine, I guess: not as famous as pinot gris, but certainly more so than like, gouais blanc.
Viognier hails from the dry, sunny slopes above the Rhône river in southeast France. Drive about 40 minutes out of Lyon and you'll find yourself in a cute village underneath one of the greatest white wine vineyards in the world, Condrieu. If you're me, you'll take a nerdy selfie under it and post it on Instagram, and your non-wine friends will make fun of you.
Starting in Australia, viognier began to spread its apricotty tendrils around the world in the 1970s, eventually ending up in the warmer parts of New Zealand. Millton's viognier is made in Gisborne, where grapes are grown and wines are made according to what the surf is doing that day.
This is quite a dry viognier, and the pear and stone you'll find on the palate is tempered by a good amount of buttery depth. It's got heaps of perfume, which puts me in mind of a pinot gris, but it is rich and nutty, more like a chardonnay. In short, it's a viognier – don't try it because you like this thing, or that. Try it because it's interesting.

Until Dawn is een interactief survival horrorspel, ontwikkeld door Supermassive Games en uitgebracht door Sony Computer Entertainment voor de PlayStation 4. Het spel zou oorspronkelijk op de PlayStation 3 verschijnen met een grote nadruk op de PlayStation Move, maar in augustus 2014 werd het spel opnieuw aangekondigd als PlayStation 4-game. Het werd wereldwijd uitgebracht in augustus 2015. Until Dawn werd over het algemeen goed beoordeeld.

Gameplay
Until Dawn is ontwikkeld om meerdere keren te spelen, aangezien het onmogelijk is om in één keer alle mogelijke content te zien. Het spel kost zo'n zes en een half uur om uit te spelen en draait om het vlindereffect, waarbij elke keuze van de speler kan leiden tot grote consequenties. Tijdens het spel moet de speler moeilijke keuzes maken tijdens ethische en morele dilemma's, zoals één personage opofferen om de andere te redden. Het is mogelijk om alle acht personages te laten leven, maar ze kunnen ook allemaal dood gaan. De ontwikkelaar heeft gezegd dat er "honderden eindes' zitten in Until Dawn, maar dit is niet helemaal waar, aangezien de gemaakte keuzes slechts zorgen voor verschillende variaties van één soortgelijk einde. Until Dawn bevat een automatisch opslagsysteem, zodat het spel niet gereset kan worden om een gemaakte keuze te veranderen.

De gameplay is vooral onderzoeken, quicktime-events, en aanwijzingen vinden, evenals keuzes maken. Qua gameplay is het spel vergelijkbaar met Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls en Life is Strange.

Verhaal

Op 2 februari 2014, vieren de zeven vrienden Sam, Mike, Chris, Ashley, Emily, Jessica en Matt hun jaarlijkse winteruitje naar de Blackwood Pines-skihut, eigendom van hun vrienden, Josh Washington en zijn tweelingzussen Hannah en Beth.

Mike, Ashley, Emily, Jessica en Matt haalden een grapje uit met Hannah, die naar het bos vluchtte uit vernedering. Wanneer Beth haar gevonden heeft, worden de twee achtervolgd door een wezen die ze jaagt naar de rand van een klif, waarvan ze afvallen en sterven.

Het volgende hoofdstuk begint met een therapiesessie van Dr. Hill, die een aantal vragen stelt aan zijn patiënt; deze sessies zullen terugkeren in volgende hoofdstukken en de gegeven antwoorden bepalen bepaalde content van het spel. Deze sessies worden de eerste paar keren gespeeld in de ogen van de patiënt, maar later blijkt het Josh te zijn.

Een jaar later zijn de lichamen van Beth en Hannah nog steeds niet gevonden, en de zeven vrienden zijn nogmaals uitgenodigd door Josh voor het jaarlijks uitje. Zodra ze aankomen, gaan Emily en Matt terug om Emily's verloren tas terug te vinden. Jessica wordt later meegenomen door een onbekend wezen, nadat zij en Mike naar de gastkabine zijn gegaan. Afhankelijk van de gemaakte keuzes vindt Mike Jessica dood of ernstig gewond, voordat de lift naar de mijn instort met Jessica erop. Mike gaat een vreemdeling achterna, die hij gespot heeft vlak bij Jessica. Hij gaat een sanatorium binnen, en komt achter een ongeluk gebeurd in 1952 waarbij verschillende mijnwerkers gevangen zaten in de mijn.

Ondertussen worden Chris en Ashley aangevallen door een persoon in een masker die Ashley ontvoert en haar met Josh gevangen zet. Chris moet kiezen welke van hun vrijgelaten wordt, en welke doormidden gesplitst gaat worden door een zaagblad. Wat Chris ook kiest, Ashley overleeft en Josh wordt doormidden gezaagd. Sam wordt daarna gestalkt in de skihut door het gemaskerde figuur en wordt bewusteloos geslagen of ontsnapt in de kamer van de moordenaar. Terwijl Chris en Ashley terugkeren naar de skihut om Sam te vinden, worden ze nogmaals aangevallen, en vastgebonden aan stoelen. Van het onbekende figuur moet Chris kiezen om op zichzelf te schieten, of op Ashley. Dit wordt tegengehouden door Sam en Mike, die zijn teruggekeerd van het sanatorium, maar er bleken slechts losse flodders in het geweer te zitten. Dan wordt er onthult dat het gemaskerde figuur een mentaal losgeslagen Josh is, die zijn vrienden de schuld geeft voor de verdwijning van zijn zussen, en een nep-lichaam heeft gebruikt om zijn dood in scène te zetten. Hoewel hij toegeeft dat hij alle vallen heeft gezet, zegt hij niks te maken te hebben met Jessica's vermoedelijke dood. Hij wordt daarna vastgebonden in een schuur door de anderen.

Ondertussen gaan Emily en Matt, aangezien ze Chris en Ashley tegen het lijf waren gelopen nadat ze dachten dat Josh was vermoord, naar een radiotoren om om hulp te vragen. De toren stort echter in waardoor Emily en Matt terechtkomen in een verlaten mijn en aangevallen worden door onbekende wezens. Afgaande van de gemaakte keuzes, ontsnapt Matt en gaat verder door de mijn, wordt Matt vermoord door de wezens, of valt Matt van een klif na een eerdere ontmoeting met een hert. Emily gaat de mijn verder onderzoeken, en vind Beth hoofd. Ook ontdekt ze dat Hannah de val overleefd heeft. Ze komt de vreemdeling die Mike eerder tegenkwam tegen, die haar helpt om te ontsnappen van de wezens. In haar ontsnappingspoging, wordt Emily ofwel vermoordt ofwel keert terug naar de skihut. Tijdens haar ontsnappingspoging kan ze ook gebeten worden door het wezen. Als ze overleeft vertelt ze de anderen over het wezens en over de ontdekking van Beth's hoofd. De vreemdeling komt aan bij de skihut en onthult zichzelf. Hij legt uit dat de wezens wendigos heten: vroegere mensen die, na mensenvlees gegeten te hebben, bezeten worden door kwade geesten en tot zonsopgang op mensen jagen. Chris en de vreemdeling proberen Josh te bevrijden uit het schuurtje, maar hij is al weg, en de vreemdeling wordt onthoofd door de wendigos. Chris probeert terug te komen naar de skihut, maar wordt ofwel vermoord door de wendigo, of komt binnen in de skihut, of wordt buitengehouden door Ashley als hij op haar heeft geprobeerd te schieten bij de val.

Als Emily gebeten werd door een wendigo, zit de groep ook te twijfelen om haar alleen te laten of dood te schieten, aangezien ze bang zijn dat Emily door de beet ook een wendigo wordt. Wat er ook gekozen wordt, Mike gaat naar het sanatorium om Josh te vinden, aangezien hij de sleutels heeft van de kabelbaan om de skihut te verlaten. Nadat de wendigos aanvallen, en daardoor het sanatorium verbrandt, komt hij Sam tegen, die meer te weten is gekomen over de wendigos, zoals dat je van een beet geen wendigo wordt, en dat de wendigo je niet kan zien als je niet beweegt. Ondertussen kunnen Ashley en Chris vermoord worden door een wendigo. Sam en Mike kunnen erachter komen dat Hannah in een wendigo veranderde nadat ze Beths vlees ging eten om te overleven. Mike en Sam vinden Josh, die extreme hallucinaties heeft over zijn zussen. Mike en Josh worden aangevallen door Hannah, en, als er genoeg aanwijzingen gevonden zijn over Hannahs transformatie, herkent Hannah Josh en sleept hem mee. Zo niet, dan wordt Josh vermoord door Hannah.

Ondertussen, als Jessica en/of Matt nog leven, komen ze weer bij de groep en proberen ze om de berg te ontvluchten. Sam en Mike keren terug naar de skihut, maar komen daar Hannah weer tegen. Meer wendigos overvallen de hut, en ze beginnen met elkaar te vechten, aangezien alle overlevenden in de hut stil staan, en ze alleen elkaar zien bewegen. Terwijl de wendigos afgeleid zijn, ramt Mike de gasvoorziening open. Afhangend van de acties van de speler, kunnen Sam, Mike en de andere overlevenden dood gaan, maar hoe dan ook ontploft de skihut en zijn de wendigos dood. De overgebleven overlevenden worden gespot door een helikopter en opgehaald.

Tijdens de aftiteling, worden de sterfscènes van degenen die het niet hebben overleefd opnieuw afgespeeld. Daarna worden stukjes van de gesprekken in de verhoorkamer van de politie met de overlevenden afgespeeld. De politie wordt gewaarschuwd van wat er zit in de mijnen. Als Josh het overleeft, wordt hij in de mijn ontdekt door de politie. Hij is echter veranderd in een wendigo, en valt ze aan, waarna het scherm zwart wordt.

Global FDI down by 13% in 2016: Unctad report
Natasha Turak | 01/02/2017 5:59 pm
UN body Unctad records 13% decrease in global FDI for 2016.
Global FDI flows in 2016 came to $1520bn, a 13% decrease from the previous year as economic growth and world trade volumes remain weak, reports Unctad in its latest Global Investment Trends Monitor. A modest recovery is predicted for 2017 with an estimated 10% increase in global flows.
The 2016 decline in FDI was unevenly distributed across regions. "FDI flows to Europe fell 29% to an estimated $385bn, with a number of countries experiencing strong volatility in their inflows," the report found. "This decline was tempered by modest growth in flows to North America (6%) and a sizeable increase in investment in other developed economies, principally Australia and Japan."
Inflows to developing economies fell 20% to an estimated $600bn according to Unctad figures. Transition economies, by contrast, saw a 38% rise in FDI flows to an estimated $52bn.
Unctad secretary-general Mukhisa Kituyi said: "Looking ahead, economic fundamentals point to a potential increase in FDI flows by about 10% in 2017. However, significant uncertainties about the shape of future economic policy developments could hamper FDI in the short term."
Unctad World Investment Report shows 23% FDI dip in 2017
UNCTAD cautiously optimistic for 2017
Global FDI stalled in 2010, says Unctad
Unctad: Recovery in FDI strong but "lacking productive impact"
UNCTAD forecasts slower FDI flows in reversal of earlier position


Back in my Make Your Own Belt Holder Post, I told you that I had moved my oldest sons dresser into another room in my home and that his clothing is now on a bookcase in his closet. I was waiting for the canvas bins that I wanted (for his clothing) to go on sale and they DID!! So I picked them up and finally finished organizing his closet.
I totally LOVE these canvas bins... remember I used them (in green) in my Toy Closet?
NOW they make smaller ones too, which are perfect for items like socks, pj's, and underwear. There are smaller cubicles too. You can find them at Target, etc.
So of course, I made some.
I'll show you the tutorial on these guys soon!!
Clothing fits quite nicely into the bins.
makes for a delightful space.
My oldest is a collector. He collects anything AND everything! From hot-wheels, to soda bottles, to shells, misc toys, to his dad's old trophies, etc. and so I added a few bins to his closet for storage. The misc box ALSO holds some of his collections.
Baseball cards are a GOOD collection, because they can be worth something someday. He also has a few binders full of cards. These are the cards that haven't yet been placed in plastic sleeves and added to the binders.
This room also serves as my "guest room." When company comes to stay, Trayton (my oldest) moves into his brothers room and our guests stay in this room. I have this luggage rack for their suitcases. I found it, a few years back, at Bed Bath and Beyond.
His belt holder is on the wall next to all his clothing.
Stay tuned for more of this world traveler room, coming soon!!
How about you, who else LOVES these canvas bins?
Do you have another way of storing clothing other than a dresser?
Your posts are so inspiring. And you have great creative talent. I wish you could come and help me.
That's so nice & organized, I love it!
it looks great - love the labels!
I'm totally ready to do this for my Son's bedroom closet! This is totally doable! Love this! Thanks so much!!
love this idea. I use similar bins for my girls' clothes. I'm a new follower. Hope to see you at http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/.
P.S. I have a link party every Monday. Be sure to stop by and link up this project and any others.
I'm the same way.. love the cubby bins. This looks great as normal!! Thanks for linking it up to my Organizing Mission Link Party.
This is charming! I love it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow u are AMAZING! Organized to the T. well done!
I was just wondering what size the bigger bins are with the clothes in them?
You always go over and beyond, which is what I really like about you.

Q: How to create link on image using Javascript

The script doesn't work to create link on image

A: You are putting the link after the image.
You need to move the image so it is inside the link.
var image = document.getElementById('mydiv').getElementsByTagName('img')[0];
a.appendChild(image);

A:

Thank's for the idea. this work

A: Here is a solution that doesn't need the additional div and puts a link around every image within the HTML page:

A: For single images
Where you can pass the image by element object, ID, or the first src substring match. Takes an optional target attribute, like "_blank". No jQuery required.
// By img element object
// (used by the functions below)
var addImageLink = function( elem, target ){
    if( !elem || !( 'tagName' in elem ) ){ return; }
    var image = elem;
    var parent = image.parentElement;
    var a = document.createElement( 'a' );
    a.href = image.getAttribute( 'src' );
    if( target ){ a.setAttribute( 'target', target ); }
    a.appendChild( image );
    parent.appendChild( a );
};

// By img element id
//
//
var addImageLinkById = function( id, target ){
    addImageLink( document.getElementById( id ), target );
};

// By img element src (first match)
//
//
var addImageLinkBySrc = function( src, target ){
    var image, images = document.getElementsByTagName( 'img' );
    if( typeof src == 'undefined' ){ src = ''; }
    for( var i = 0; i < images.length; i++ ){
        if( images[ i ].src.indexOf( src ) < 0 ){ continue; }
        addImageLink( images[ i ], target ); return;
    }
};

For looping through all images
This solution puts a link around every image. It's an expanded version of Falko's answer.

*

*Doesn't use jQuery

*Optionally whitelist images by href substring, like "images/gallery/"

*Specify an optional target attribute, like "_blank"

*Won't skip the second half of the images(I experienced this issue when trying his code, but it could be something I did wrong)
var addImageLinks = function( filter, target ){

    var parent, a, image;
    var images = document.getElementsByTagName( 'img' );
    var hasTarget = ( typeof target != 'undefined' );
    var hasFilter = ( typeof filter != 'undefined' );

    for( var i = 0; i < images.length; i++ ){

        image = images[ i ];
        if( hasFilter && ( image.src.indexOf( filter ) < 0 ) ){ continue; }

        // Skip over already-wrapped images, by adding an attribute
        if( image.getAttribute( 'data-wrapped-link' ) ){ continue; }
        image.setAttribute( 'data-wrapped-link', '1' );

        // Add the link
        parent = image.parentElement;
        a = document.createElement( 'a' );
        a.href = image.getAttribute( 'src' );
        if( hasTarget ){ a.setAttribute( 'target', target ); }
        a.appendChild( image );
        parent.appendChild( a );

        // We inserted a "new" image, so go back one step so we don't miss any
        // (due to being inside the "i < images.length" loop)
        i--;

    }

};

// Then:
//
//
//
//  <- ignored

// Near bottom of the page (or in an onLoad handler, etc):
// </script> addImageLinks( 'images/gallery/', '_blank' ); </script>

Q: How to retrieve Callout_Response XML in VF Page MetadataService.MetadataPort service = new MetadataService.MetadataPort();
service.SessionHeader = new MetadataService.SessionHeader_element();
service.SessionHeader.sessionId = UserInfo.getSessionId();
MetadataService.Profile admin = (MetadataService.Profile)
service.readMetadata('Profile', new String[]{'Admin'}).getRecords()[0];

When this code is executed in Execute Anonymous, Profile information for 'Admin'(System Administrator) is retrieved in Callout_Response in the form of XML.
Now I would to print that XML in VF Page.

A: The XML form of the apex-mdapi Apex Metadata API wrapper MetadataService.Profile inner class isn't directly accessible.
The serialization between the SOAP XML response and the class is handled internally by WebServiceCallout.invoke. Yes it appears in a developer edition Debug log as a CALLOUT_RESPONSE, but that isn't accessible until the transaction is completed.
The only easy way to access the underlying XML would be to make the raw HTTP POST request yourself. This can be automated from the WSDL, but would still take some effort.

It isn't the raw XML, but you might find it easier to dump out the JSON serialization of the Profile if you just want to see the data.

To display the Metadata Profile data in a Visualforce page, create the appropriate bindings. E.g. where admin is the MetadataService.Profile retrieved from the Metadata API.

You can use <apex:repeat> for the inner collections.
An alternative approach would be to combine the JSON serialization of the profile with dynamic Visualforce to automatically view all the data. That's beyond the scope of this answer.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a complementary health intervention: The case of smoking relapse prevention
Thomas N. Chirikos, Thaddeus A. Herzog, Cathy D. Meade, Monica W Hooper, Thomas H. Brandon
Objectives: We assess the cost-effectiveness of smoking relapse prevention interventions designed to keep quitters from resuming the use of cigarettes. Because relapse prevention is complementary to smoking cessation efforts, the appropriate test of its cost-effectiveness is whether it reduces the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of smoking cessation. The major goal of the study is to carry out such a test. Methods: Data from a randomized trial that ascertained the effectiveness of alternative modes of smoking relapse prevention are combined with ICER estimates of smoking cessation to assess whether relapse prevention is cost-effective. Results: The trial produced convincing evidence that relapse prevention yields statistically significant reductions in the proportion of quitters who are smoking at 24 months postquit. The intervention effects are substantial enough to raise the denominator terms of the smoking cessation ICER and, thereby, offset the amount relapse prevention adds to cost numerator terms. In this sense, smoking relapse prevention tends to pay for itself. Conclusions: Smoking relapse prevention is a highly cost-effective addition to current efforts to curb cigarette consumption. Complementary health interventions of this sort should be assessed by different methods than those commonly found in the cost-effectiveness literature.

To minimise the number of components, many plastic parts incorporate a live hinge to link two parts together. This is especially true for packaging systems (lids, closures and DVD cases for example). The largest market is the flip top closures found on personal care and food & drink packaging.
In most of these applications the hinge needs to be folded and formed whilst the plastic still retains the heat from moulding. If left too long, the structure will have formed causing the hinge to crack and split during operation. PCE has developed several products to cater for this market.
This can be in single or twin track configurations depending on the throughput required. The closures are typically fed directly from the moulding machine and orientated to feed the cell through a vibratory bowl feeder.
The closures are lined up, clamped and the hinge formed in the first stage. The closures are then released and pass under a pneumatically damped wheel to ensure full closure.
In-line testing can be added to look for short-shots, smilers and colour variation.
For products that cannot be handled by the OMC-500 range due to difficulty in feeding the components, or the shape and size of component does not lend itself for the method, PCE can offer bespoke systems.
The components are often placed into jigs to keep alignment and allow for the hinge to be flexed and closed. A robot is often used to de-mould the parts and directly place into the jigs. The PCE Racer Robot is well suited for this application.
All customers need absolute assurance that the product is defect free (short shots; partially closed 'smilers' or colour variation). PCE can offer a range of solutions to provide confidence that 100% 'good products' reach the supply chain.

Q: Why are NA values inserted to postgresql not getting type casted to NULL? I have a line of code something like this:
query <- "INSERT INTO my_books (title, subtitle, content) VALUES ($1,$2,$3)"
data_to_be_inserted <- c("hello", NA, "world")
dbExecute(db_connection_to_postgresql, query, data_to_be_inserted)

When doing this, the values in the db are:
SELECT * FROM my_books;

id title    subtitle  content
1  "hello"  "NA"      "world"

instead of:
SELECT * FROM my_books;

id title    subtitle  content
1  "hello"  NULL      "world"

Why is this?

A: That is because you didn't insert NULL, but NA.
You could use
query <- "INSERT INTO my_books (title, subtitle, content) VALUES ($1, nullif($2, 'NA'), $3)"

W 2013 r. otrzymał z rąk biskupa gorłowskiego i słowiańskiego Mitrofana święcenia diakońskie (21 lipca) i kapłańskie (27 września). Początkowo niósł posługę w soborze katedralnym Objawienia Pańskiego w Gorłówce. 12 czerwca 2014 r. został proboszczem parafii Zwiastowania w tym mieście. Po zniszczeniu cerkwi parafialnej w wyniku ostrzału artyleryjskiego, od 7 sierpnia 2014 r. ponownie posługiwał w soborze katedralnym.

23 grudnia 2015 r. złożył przed metropolitą Mitrofanem wieczyste śluby mnisze z imieniem Paisjusz, ku czci św. Paisjusza Atoskiego. W marcu 2016 r. stanął na czele wydziału misjonarskiego eparchii gorłowskiej, a w sierpniu tego samego roku został zastępcą przewodniczącego komisji powołaniowej. 16 września 2017 r. otrzymał godność archimandryty. 28 września tego samego roku został proboszczem dwóch parafii (św. Mikołaja i Iwerskiej Ikony Matki Bożej) w Gorłówce. W grudniu 2019 r. rozpoczął posługę w Słowiańsku jako dziekan okręgu św. Aleksandra Newskiego; w styczniu następnego roku objął probostwo parafii katedralnej w tym mieście. We wrześniu 2020 r. został dziekanem okręgu łymańskiego eparchii gorłowskiej.

Postanowieniem Świętego Synodu, nominowany 12 maja 2021 r. na biskupa konstantynowskiego, wikariusza eparchii gorłowskiej. Chirotonia biskupia odbyła się 13 czerwca 2021 r. w soborze Zaśnięcia Matki Bożej w ławrze Peczerskiej, pod przewodnictwem metropolity kijowskiego i całej Ukrainy Onufrego.

In 2005, Louisiana producers harvested more than 16,000 acres of sweet potatoes with a total value exceeding $90 million. Weeds can affect agricultural production systems in many ways. In vegetable crop production, weeds can cause significant yield reductions by competing with crops for nutrients, light and water. Beauregard, the predominant sweet potato cultivar grown in Louisiana, is a high-yielding variety but is not as tolerant to weed interference as some of the older, lower-yielding varieties. Research suggests that the majority of yield loss in Beauregard is caused by weed interference during the first two to eight weeks after transplant.
Sweet potato producers deal with a complex of weed species, and recently, the primary problem weeds affecting sweet potato production in Louisiana are hophornbeam copperleaf, spiny amaranth (pigweed), smellmelon, and yellow and purple nutsedge. Carpetweed is also widespread but is not considered a problem. Currently, the herbicides labeled for use on sweet potato are Command (clomazone), labeled to control grasses, and Valor (flumioxazin), labeled to control broadleaf weeds. In 2004 and 2005, Sandea (halosulfuron) received emergency labeling under Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act to control purple nutsedge in Louisiana sweet potato production. Since the registration of Command herbicide in sweet potato, the populations of morningglories, cocklebur and grasses have been drastically reduced, but other weeds that clomazone does not control continue as pests. Valor and Sandea have been evaluated previously, with neither having known adverse effects on growth or yield of sweet potatoes when applied as recommended.
A study conducted in 2005 investigated the effect of different herbicide regimes on weed density and yield in sweet potato. Transplants 12 inches long were cut the day of transplanting and spaced one foot apart. All herbicide treatments were applied immediately before or following transplant to weed-free beds. Treatments included Valor at 2 ounces per acre plus Sandea at 2/3 ounce per acre, Command at 2.5 pints per acre plus Sandea at 2/3 ounce per acre, Command at 2.5 pints per acre plus Valor at 2 ounces per acre, Valor at 2 ounces per acre plus Command at 2.5 pints per acre plus Sandea at 2/3 ounce per acre, and an untreated control. All Sandea applications were made according to label directions at 28 days after transplanting.
The Valor-plus-Sandea combination targeted broadleaf weeds and annual sedges, whereas Command-plus-Sandea targeted annual grasses and sedges. The combination of Valor plus Sandea plus Command targeted broadleaf weeds, grasses and sedges. The goal of the treatment regime that included all three herbicides was to establish weed-free plots with little competition.
Three random weed counts were taken 70 days following transplant in one square foot of each plot. At 115 days after transplant, two rows of each plot were harvested using a mechanical digger. Roots were graded according to U.S. Department of Agriculture standards and separated into three grade classes – U.S. No. 1 and 2, Canners and Jumbos.
Overall, yields in the study were low because of minimal rainfall in research plots in 2005. U.S. No. 1 and 2 yield – the premium yield grade of sweet potato in the United States – was significantly increased in all herbicide treated plots (up to 75 percent) compared to untreated controls. The treatment regime which included Valor and Command had the highest yield of all herbicide combinations evaluated. The majority of weed species present in the current study were broadleaf weeds, specifically spiny amaranth and carpetweed, although minimal crabgrass was also present. Differences in grass control were not detected in herbicide-treated and untreated plots in the study. All herbicide treatments reduced the number of spiny amaranth plants, and all regimes except Command-plus-Sandea – the only treatment regime without Valor – significantly reduced carpetweed numbers.
The increase of U.S. No. 1 and 2 yield in the herbicide-treated plots compared to untreated controls demonstrates the importance of practicing integrated weed management in sweet potato. Treatment regimes that included Valor and Command provided good control of spiny amaranth and carpetweed, two predominate weed species in Louisiana sweet potato production. These data indicate that greater yields may be achieved in sweet potato if herbicides are integrated into an overall pest management program.
