Middlesex had resumed on 236-9 this morning with Toby Roland-Jones (35) and Tim Murtagh (16 not out) at the crease, but it wasn't long before Lancashire had wiped up the tail.
Tom Bailey (24-6-67-5) took the last wicket of Roland-Jones, grabbing five wickets, however it was veteran Jimmy Anderson (21-7-41-3) who was the most economical of the Red Roses bowling attack.
Beginning their reply, Lancashire's openers had made a century stand with both Keaton Jennings (52) and Haseeb Hameed (78 not out) hitting half-centuries, Hameed's first half century since September 2017 before giving his wicket away to James Harris.
Murtagh picked up Lancashire's second wicket of Brooke Guest, clean bowling him, leaving the visitors at 151-2 with wicket-keeper Alex Davies not padding up due to a suspected hand injury.
Worcestershire enjoyed the best of the batting conditions, adding another 205 runs with the loss of two wickets before declaring on 553-6.
Hamish Rutherford (123) made his century before succumbing to Tom Taylor (35-2-122-1) and Whiteley (49) was unlucky to be trapped lbw by Ben Mike (23.5-2-119-2), one run short of his half-century.
In reply Leicestershire, who had beaten Sussex last week, struggled against the Pears bowlers.
Horton (15) caught by Daryl Mitchell off the bowling of Josh Tongue whilst Morris had Azad (1) trapped lbw had reduced the home-side to 24-2 before Cosgrove (40 not out) came to the crease.
With a flurry of boundaries including a six off the bowling of Wayne Parnell in a costly 12th over which went for 15 runs.
Parnell (4-1-38-0) suffered the most of the big-hitting however at tea Leicestershire still trailed Worcestershire by 477 runs with eight wickets in hand.
Derbyshire could only add 35 more runs to their first innings total of 291 runs after losing their last three wickets cheaply.
Tail-enders Anuj Dal (3), Logan van Beek (7) and Ravi Rampaul (9) were the last to go in a low scoring first innings for Derby, only Tom Lace passed the half-century mark.
Harry Higgins (29-13-52-3) shone with exquisite economy rate and the wickets were shared across the bowling attack for Gloucestershire, Benny Howell (14.2-7-19-2) with the second best figures.
In reply Gloucestershire began their fight-back despite the early loss of Hammond (6) caught by Wayne Marsden off the bowling of Luis Reece who also had Hankins caught for a duck.
James Bracey (64 not out) quickly hit his half-century with a burst of boundaries with Roderick (2 not out) slowly adding to the total 111-3.
Triple centuries from Marnus Labuschagne (121), Billy Root (126) and Kiran Carlson (111) helped the home-side to a huge batting points advantage.
Wicket-keeper captain Chris Cooke supported with a quick fire (70 not out) from 87 balls before deciding to declare after losing the eighth wicket of Marchant de Lange (12) after lunch to West Idies captain Jason Holder.
Overseas signing Holder (21-2-79-2) picked up his second wicket and was the second most economical bowler after Sanderson's figures of (24-7-70-1) in a heavy batting innings for Glamorgan.
Rob Keogh (15-0-108-0) suffered the worst, being the most expensive of the bowling unit at the Swalec.
In reply Northamptonshire 67-0 made a sharp start with openers Ricardo Vasconcelos (46) closing in on his half century and Robert Newton (21) still at the crease, building upon their 50 partnership.
Durham ripped into the Sussex line-up after being bowled out early this morning reducing the visitors to 62-5 at lunch.
Adding only another 14 runs to their own first innings with Liam Trevaskis' (54) the sole half-century.
The Durham pace attack knew they were would have to make a breakthrough early.
Wickets fell at regular intervals before lunch after Philip Salt (2) was caught off the bowling of Chris Rushworth.
James Weighell (8-1-32-3) had been the pick of the bowlers with three wickets in his first five overs, however Rushworth (11-4-20-3) quickly grabbed the honours being the most economical after clean bowling both Michael Burgess (9) and David Wiese (0).
Captain Ben Brown will hope Luke Wells (39 not out) will steady the Sussex innings, but losing key batsmen is proving more of a task as Sussex are 120-8 with Ollie Robinson (1 not out) joining him at the crease.


Washington--The massive volume and growing impact of data in the electronic age should make the development of students' "information literacy" a high priority for schools, a panel of educators and librarians argues in a new report.
But attempts to develop such literacy have suffered, they say, because school-reform efforts have thus far ignored or undervalued the importance of the topic.
The report asserts that the ability to find, organize, and use data will be increasingly vital to Americans in their roles as consumers, business leaders, and voters.
But even as the pace of the "information age" rapidly accelerates, the report notes, too few youths or adults have developed such abilities.
"Because we have been hit by a tidal wave of information," it says, "what used to suffice as literacy no longer suffices; what used to count as effective knowledge no longer meets our needs; and what used to pass as a good education no longer is adequate."
"Now," it adds, "knowledge--not minerals or agricultural products or manufactured goods--is this country's most precious commodity, and people who are information-literate--who know how to acquire knowledge and use it--are America's most valuable resource."
The report, released here last week at the midwinter meeting of the American Library Association, calls for greater attention to the subject in current reform efforts.
Information literacy is, it maintains, "an integral part of current efforts at cultural literacy, the development of critical-thinking abilities, and school restructuring."
The panel urges school administrators to encourage instruction in information literacy throughout school curricula. In addition, they say, teacher educators should revamp their programs to include information skills.
But such efforts can only succeed, the report states, if the public is aware of the problems caused by deficiencies in using information. To promote such awareness, the panel recommended the creation of a coalition to conduct research and highlight effective information-literacy efforts.
The president of the ala appointed the 13-member committee in 1987. It was created, panelists said, in response to a growing realization that Americans are unable to deal with the sheer volume of information that computers and video technologies have made widely available.
"We take for granted," said Gordon M. Ambach, executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers and a panel member, "that, with so much information around, students and adults know how to use it."
"Yet we find too often," he said, "that they simply do not have the capacity to sift out sources, or dig out information necessary to solve problems."
Even highly educated adults who have used research techniques in college lack the ability to use information well in their everyday lives, said Patricia Senn Breivik, the panel's chairman.
And without such skills, the report warns, Americans risk "drowning in the abundance of information that floods their lives."
"On a daily basis, problems are more difficult to solve when people lack meaningful information vital to good decisionmaking," it states.8"Many people are vulnerable to poorly informed people or opportunists when selecting nursing care for a parent or facing a major expense such as purchasing, financing, or insuring a new home or car."
Similarly, it says, business executives and other citizens in a democracy are ill-served by a lack of information or by misleading information.
To help students acquire the skills to become information-literate, the report urges school officials to encourage the use of public libraries, which have traditionally provided access to a broad range of information sources.
And, it proposes, schools should restructure "the learning process" to ensure that students develop information skills.
Echoing previous school-reform proposals, the report states that "textbooks, workbooks, and lectures must yield to a learning process based on the information resources available for learning and problem solving throughout people's lifetimes."
Such changes should be incorporated throughout the curriculum, rather than added to it, panelists said.
Information literacy "really isn't something that stands apart from other things, it's part of the fabric," said Ms. Breivik, who is director of the Auraria Library at the University of Colorado at Denver.
In order to effect such changes, added Mr. Ambach, all teachers and administrators must commit themselves to them.
"We want to make sure this is a topic on everybody's agenda," he said. "As they are thinking about their school program, they should be thinking about what aspect developing information-literacy skills is in the curriculum."
"If it is not there," he added, "how do we get it there?"
Further information about the report can be obtained by writing to the American Association of School Librarians (for K-12) or the Association of College and Research Libraries (for higher education) in care of the ala, 50 East Huron St., Chicago, Ill. 60611.

I'm not very good at saying Goodbye. When I left my job a few months back, I decided to step out of the office incognito and skip the tears, and instead sent out a farewell email to my friends at work the following morning.
Which is why when I found out that KFC was bidding goodbye to the Double Down and the Junior Double Down, I didn't take it very well.
Can you blame me though? How else would you expect me to react to the news of a menu item- nay, a menu treasure - such as "Two MASSIVE KFC Original Recipes fillets used as sandwich buns, sandwiching bacon and cheese, with a slathering of mayonnaise", being removed from the menu?
After the Double Down and the Junior Double Down were delivered to my home for what could possibly be the very last time, I asked Manong Driver if the news was indeed true... Maybe this was just some horrible nightmare. I would wake up in the morning in a world where the existence of The Double Down was not in Jeopardy.
Alas, Manong Driver could not offer me such news. All he could do was offer me a consolitory hug, as he too seemed like he was losing an old friend.
As painful as this parting of ways was, I felt that this isn't the way the Double Down would have wanted things to end. Why go out on a somber note, right? Why not celebrate the life of the Double Down while it is still with us, instead of focusing on its heartbreaking departure?
So here's what you can do to give the Double Down the farewell it deserves:
1) Head on over to KFC and buy the Double Down and/or the Double Down
Junior. (the more, the merrier.. Remember, this could be the last time
you`ll be able to order it in God knows how long).
2) Take a creative Photo of you and your Double Down(s)
3) Post the photo on your Twitter and/or Instagram using the hash tag
#GoodByeDoubleDown
4) In the caption, share what you`ll miss most about the Double Down.
KFC Philippines will be choosing the most creative entries, and awarding the winner with a "Double Down Party" for his/her barkada!
So if you want that Double Down party, I strongly suggest you get started on your entries right away, because the KFC Double Down and the Junior Double Down won`t be around for very much longer.
FYI.. KFC encourages "Happy" entries, but Baby Rain and I really Didn't take the news of the Junior Double Down`s departure very well, and we were totally unable to hold it together. :(
We`ll Miss You, Double Down and Double Down Junior!!

Q: What does acupuncture feel like? Do the needles hurt?
A: When the needles are placed it is common to feel a little pinch, mild sting or dull achy sensation. It should not be painful. Some people are more sensitive than others, so I adjust my technique and the gauge of needles according to each person's response. I've needled many nervous first-timers and their responses are most commonly "that's it? I barely felt anything!".
Q: How does acupuncture work?
A: In Chinese medical theory, acupuncture works by balancing the body's Qi. Qi can be described as a form of bioenergy that runs along meridians, which are like rivers of energy. If Qi gets blocked, due to excess or deficiency, it shows up as an imbalance or illness. Basically, if you have a health condition, some part of your body's system is out of whack. Chinese medical theory allows us to diagnose the imbalance and balance it.
In Western medical theory, acupuncture appears to work by stimulating parts of the brain. It also stimulates the body to release natural biomolecules such as neurotransmitters, vasodilators, and hormones. The exact mechanisms which bring this about are unknown, but the effects are measurable.
Q: How often do I need to come in for acupuncture treatment?
A: The frequency of treatment depends on your condition and treatment goals. Generally speaking, acupuncture is not a one-shot deal. Though I hold a space for the possibility of dramatic and speedy shifts, in practice, especially when an issue has been long-standing, it often takes some time to make lasting changes. When I begin working with someone I like to plan for weekly treatments for about the first 6 weeks whenever possible. Once your condition is stabilized, you won't need to come in as frequently. When you come in for your first treatment, we'll formulate a specific treatment plan for you.
Q: Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
A: Yes! Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to alleviate many discomforts commonly associated with pregnancy. In addition, acupuncture can be used to help promote a more efficient labor.
Q: What does acupuncture treat?
A: Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating an incredibly wide variety of conditions, including:
Pregnancy related conditions
Hormonal imbalances and gynecological concerns like PCOS, endometriosis and PMDD
Gastro-intestinal conditions
Migraines and headaches
Muscular-skeletal pain
Common cold and sinusitis
The list goes on and on!
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: Though I do not accept insurance directly, I can provide you with an insurance coded receipt to submit for reimbursement if your plan covers out-of-network providers.
Q: What is Tarot?
A: Tarot is a deck of cards. Each card represents a spiritual lesson or phase of personal evolution. The Tarot deck is a language of symbols, and symbolism is the language of the soul. The Tarot is a tool that can help us gain access to our intuition and spark conversations that open doors in awareness. We can use Tarot for insight on unconscious aspects of experience in a given moment or through a transitional time.
Q: What is Reiki?
A. Reiki is a Japanese spiritual healing technique in which practitioners can help your body heal itself through touch. "Rei" translates to "universe" or "life force," and "ki" translates to the physical energy of the body (also known as qi); put together, Reiki translates to "universal life force energy." The job of a Reiki practitioner is to help your body work its own healing magic. It is profoundly relaxing, restorative and nurturing.

Public Services Division
A snow emergency is not in effect.
A snow emergency is snow accumulation of 6 inches or greater (in one snow event or successive snow events). In this instance or in anticipation of it, the Public Works Director, Chief Law Enforcement Official, or their designees, will declare a snow emergency which begins at 12:01 a.m. To assure that the community is informed of the snow emergency, typically, an announcement will be made on the local media (radio station, TV Cable Channel 6, or if newspaper deadline can be met, in the news briefs) by 6 p.m. on the day preceding the snow emergency. The emergency exists because of snow or other winter-related conditions creating a hazardous road condition or impedes the movement of fire, health, police, emergency or other vehicular traffic.
The goal of the announcement is to clear vehicles from streets to allow the safe and effective removal of snow or ice. From 12:01 a.m. to noon during a declared emergency, it is unlawful for any person to allow a vehicle or other obstruction to remain parked on any Snow Emergency Route. Any vehicle parked on Snow Emergency Route streets from 12:01 a.m. to noon during the Snow Emergency will be ticketed and towed at the owners' expense. After noon, parking on Snow Emergency Routes may resume.
Snow Emergency Protocol Day 2
The second day of a Snow Emergency will include all Non-Snow Emergency Route streets. A second media announcement reminding people of the Snow Emergency will be made by 6 p.m. that day stating that from 12:01 a.m. to noon, it is unlawful for any person to allow a vehicle or other obstruction to remain parked on all Non-Snow Emergency Route streets. All vehicles parked on a Non-Snow Emergency Route street will be ticketed. Any unmoved vehicles (snowbirds) covered with snow/ice, vehicles parked on top of windrowed snow and any vehicle parked within 75 feet of an area that has not been completely cleared on Non-Snow Emergency Route streets from 12:01 a.m. to noon this day will be ticketed and towed at the owners' expense.
Once an emergency has been declared, it is unlawful for a vehicle to re-park on the designated street until the snow emergency expires even if the street has been plowed. At approximately 2 a.m. or later, dependant on the actual time the snowfall has ceased, snow plow operations will begin and will continue until all snow has been completely cleared in the areas designated by the emergency. Actual weather-related conditions or other variables may alter these operations and guidelines.
Non-Snow Emergency Route Streets
On the Second Day of a Snow Emergency, all vehicles must be removed from Non-Snow Emergency Route streets by 12:01 a.m., and remain off these streets until noon. All city streets, other than those identified and signed as Snow Emergency Routes or Rural Roads, all alleys and pedestrian walkways.
Off-Street Parking Locations
During a Snow Emergency, the following off-street parking locations are available:
City Parking Lot at Third and Plum Streets
City Parking Lot at Oak and Williams Street Near the Museum
Parking Lot off Bohmbach Drive by the Athletic Field
City Parking Area at the Tenth Street Pump Station
Legion Parking Lot at West Fourth and Potter Streets

Aging Survey Reveals Men Are Most Scared of Going Bald
Update Date: Sep 20, 2013 07:29 PM EDT
Wrinkles, saggy skin, weight gain, as well as tooth and hearing loss are some of the many undesirable traits of getting old. However, a new survey reveals that men are most afraid of going bald.
The survey, which involved two thousand men, reveals that men are more scared of going bald than being impotent.
Researchers found that more men were afraid of going bald than being impotent, having bad breath, getting fat and losing their sight.
The survey found that 94 percent of men said that they worry about going bald compared to 89 percent who said being impotent was their greatest fear.
"Going bald is a frightening prospect for most men," said HIS Hair Clinics' Ian Watson, according to the Daily Mail.
"It's an open invitation for baldie jokes and snide remarks for everyone from family to strangers in the pub, and it's just too personal to be funny," Watson said.
"I lost my hair in my 20s. I've had countless people rub my head like a lucky Buddha, and been called everything from baldilocks to Fester," he said. "It wears thin pretty quickly, and soon became downright upsetting."
The survey, which asked men in the UK what part of aging they dread the most, revealed that 64 percent were scared of getting fat, 60 percent feared losing their teeth, 45 percent were scared of needing "jam jar" glasses, 31 percent were scared of going deaf and 24 percent feared getting bad breath.
Psychotherapist Toni Mackenzie told the Daily Mail that hair loss for women is seen as a tragic and upsetting situation. However, men are often told to "get on with it," she said.
"Hair loss can be genuinely distressing for men. It can't be easily disguised and people do seem to think it's fair game for jokes, unlike things like putting on weight or going grey," Mackenzie said. "Men who lose their hair are expected to adopt a laissez-faire attitude and take insults with good humor. The pressure this causes can have a huge effect on men's self-confidence, which has knock-on effects on their physical and mental wellbeing."
"Other than wearing a hat - which you can't do all the time - there's not a lot that can be done to hide a completely bald head, unless you spend the cash on a treatment like scalp micro-pigmentation," Watson added.

Open source in open rebellion - can Google bring peace to the developer community?
A recent White House gathering exposes divisions between the open source community and the private companies that exploit it
by: Connor Jones
Google appeared at the White House this week after a meeting was called in December to discuss the security of open source software amid the commotion elicited by Log4Shell's disclosure.
A month later, companies are still struggling to identify which applications in their enterprise stacks are dependent on Log4j - the vulnerable Java library that can facilitate remote code execution unless it's fully patched up to the latest version. It's already been linked with a number of cyber attacks on businesses, including a cross-platform ransomware strain.
What is the Log4Shell vulnerability?
Cyber attacks on corporate networks increased 50% in 2021
Google presented its ideas to those in attendance, including the Apache Software Foundation - the owner of the Log4j library. The company raised awareness of key issues in open source, including the very principles on which the community is built - including the assumption that because many eyes are always on a project, maintaining and updating it regularly, it therefore must be safe.
In Google's view, many projects that are widely in use are, in fact, not regularly maintained, with many relying on just a few individuals to maintain projects on an ad hoc, volunteer basis. In other words, it would be naive to assume that anything with myriad GitHub downloads would be entirely safe to use. Log4Shell is a shining example of just that, and Heartbleed to name an earlier case.
Google recommended a number of proposals to tackle the glaring issues in open source, chief among these being the creation of an open source maintenance marketplace between the public and private sectors. It would see volunteers from private companies, which rely on open source projects, matched to the projects that need to be maintained. It could potentially address a key injustice felt by members in the open source community whereby private companies profit from open source tools without contributing anything in return, either financially or in maintenance and innovation.
Cracks in open source
This specific grievance came to a head this week as a 'vigilante developer' purposefully sabotaged a number of hugely popular open source libraries out of spite towards big tech firms profiting off tools for which they pay nothing, as reported by our sister site TechRadar Pro.
Ten benefits of Oracle's data management platform
Freedom from business constraints and manual IT tasks
In what was a particularly bad week for open source, its name was somewhat further dragged through the mud again when the maintainer of the Apache PLC4X libraries announced that he will no longer continue to update it for free. Recognising the money to be made from the work he puts into it, he will demand payment for any future efforts to maintain the libraries, subverting the very ideals of open source.
It's not difficult to see why developers have decided to go rogue, though, and perhaps this uprising of sorts has been on the cards for some time. The private sector's reliance on open source, and the profit it makes as a result, is just one of the many cracks in the community that threatens its prosperity.
Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal and Acquia, has previously highlighted how open source relies on 'privileged' individuals to maintain the extensive array of libraries relied upon by so many businesses. Only a handful of developers with the experience, financial health, and willingness to maintain such projects are in existence, and they too have to pay their bills and forge free time for themselves.
It can be difficult for people in these positions to stay motivated, especially when communities turn toxic or their work receives no appreciation, in addition to the other well-documented open source sustainability issues at play. The drive to continue maintaining libraries is certainly an intrinsic one and pressures that threaten to weaken the enjoyment of open source maintenance simply wither that drive, adding to the personal sacrifice made by maintainers.
These issues filter down into the overall security of open source software and will doubtless lead to increasingly uglier events, like the ones witnessed this week. The value of fostering a strong and healthy culture cannot be understated, and it's the reason why IBM-owned Red Hat has been so successful in recent years, its CEO Jim Whitehurst previously explained to IT Pro.
Mending the schism
Perhaps Google's proposed open source maintenance marketplace may do much more than provide better support for open source projects, small and large. It seems many of the gripes that underpaid, under-appreciated maintainers hold relate to the absent contributions from the private sector, leaving them to do all the heavy lifting.
Having a centralised environment where private sector volunteers are seen to actively maintain the projects that are deemed valuable to digital supply chains has the potential to reinvigorate open source. But whether the private sector has the skills and experience to achieve this is another matter, Michael Isbitski, technical evangelist at Salt Security, explained to IT Pro.
Is open source open for business?
"Unfortunately, many organisations beyond large enterprises still lack adequate application security testing expertise or tooling to accomplish this," he said. "Effective application security testing requires a combination of static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing, and behaviour analysis in runtime which is costly and time-consuming.
"Many organisations will suppress found issues in third-party and open-source code since they have a hard enough time detecting, triaging, and remediating issues in their own code."
Google is happy to commit resources to its proposed marketplace, but Google is Google - the Big Tech behemoth. It may not be feasible for smaller firms to allocate the people required, which could perhaps, in turn, diminish enthusiasm among larger firms to take the hit.
Moreover, it may not even be a case of convincing the private sector alone, as some argue it's a global issue that requires the input from governments.
"This is not a US, or even a US and UK issue, but a global challenge that requires our immediate attention and expertise," said Amanda Brock, CEO at OpenUK to IT Pro.
"Our collective focus is on an international collaboration across Software security, acknowledging the key role of open source… we must collaboratively consider how open source is funded and supported by global governments on a go-forward basis, based on the societal benefits it brings."

There's no one quite like Kerry Foods. We're more than just a leading name in the global food industry: we're an altogether individual business too.
Firstly, the company encourages End-to-end experience, which is learned via rotational placements. This is encouraged by the generous and supportive relocation agreements in place to help during said mobility. I also have to mention that a combination of experienced line managers and very thorough job learning, seem to lead to a breeding ground for success, which Is a key reason why the company had managed to perform so successfully in the current market.
Some of the sites are difficult to get to.
The success stories of senior management whom have risen through the ranks of the company has been inspirational.

County Seat - Columbus
Platte County Website
Platte County Quick Facts
Columbus; Cornlea; Creston; Duncan; Humphrey; Lindsay; Monroe; Newman Grove; Platte Center; Tarnov
Named after the Platte River which makes up its southern boundary, Platte County was officially established by the Legislature on Jan. 26, 1856. Three years later its boundaries were redefined to include an area to the west known as Monroe County, giving the county its present boundaries.
In the summer of 1856, advance agents from the Columbus Town Company came to the area from Columbus, Ohio. Upon reaching the Loup River the agents marked the site for a future town to be called Columbus. The new settlement quickly grew and soon had a mill, hotel and general store. The first meeting of the Board of Commissioners was conducted in December 1857 in a log house and it would be more than 10 years before the county would have a courthouse.
When the Union Pacific Railroad headed west through Columbus in 1866, the area's growth accelerated at a faster pace. The following year a special election was held to approve the issuance of $16,000 in bonds to build a courthouse and jail. Construction was completed in 1870.
Another boost to the county came in 1881 when the Atchison and Nebraska Branch of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad constructed a rail line connecting Columbus with Lincoln. Columbus rapidly became a flourishing railroad center and commerce hub.
The courthouse that was completed in 1870 was soon outgrown by the county. On June 26, 1922, the current courthouse was dedicated. The Grecian-Ionic style structure occupied a quarter-block in downtown Columbus when it opened. But in the early 1970s, the need for additional space once again became apparent and a $1.76 million addition opened in September 1976. The two-story addition houses the sheriff's office, civil defense office, County Board room, treasurer's office and the courtrooms.
Platte County enjoys a diverse economy today. Farming and livestock production, along with manufacturing, lead the way. Among the many manufacturing operations to locate in the county is Lindsay Irrigation, known worldwide for its center pivot systems.


Upon the Defendant's Motion for Judgment of Acquittal and Decision After Non-Jury Trial Held Before the Honorable William L. Witham, Jr.
Stephen E. Smith, Esquire of the Department of Justice, Dover, Delaware; attorney for the State of Delaware.
Andre M. Beauregard, Esquire of Brown Shiels & Beauregard, LLC, Dover, Delaware; attorney for the Defendant.
Before the Court addresses the individual charges brought against the Defendant, Erick J. Wyatte, the Court will address Mr. Wyatte's Motion for Judgment of Acquittal, that was raised at the end of the bench trial in this matter. Mr. Wyatte contends that he is entitled to judgment of acquittal in this case because the State allegedly failed to provide him with necessary discovery that he requested prior to trial. The Court declines to address the merits of Mr. Wyatte's contention, however, because, as the Court previously explained, trial is not the appropriate time to raise disputes with respect to alleged discovery violations. Mr. Wyatte should have, and certainly could have, raised his concerns with the Court well in advance of trial. As he did not, the Court deems his arguments as waived. Nevertheless, in doing so this Court has weighed the relevant factors in affording the required discovery and finds that the equities favor the State.
Count 1: Non-Compliance with Bond, a felony, in violation of 11 Del. C. § 2113.
Count 2: Fleeing and Eluding, a felony, in violation of 21 Del. C. § 4103.

Shoe looks and fits great!!!! Looking for more colors in this shoe. Shoe fits true to size.
I own 4 of the 6 colors that released and these were hands down the best looking pair. Jeans, khakis, it looks great.
I absolutely love these shoes. Comfy and stylish. I get compliments all the time from my college friends!
I am 70 years old. I have a long low volume foot and can't stand anything touching my toes. These Chukas are perfect. They are unlined light weight and terrific to walk in. I find them very attractive. I would definitely buy again.
I have been a pretty loyal customer to Cole Haan's dress shoes. Give them at least 3 full days of wear before you realize the true comfort of this shoe. Take a break for a day after each day wearing them and I would recommend shoe trees in them at night to stretch the leather a little bit more. Overall, fantastic shoe and the white base gets tons of compliments on being hip and unique. Perfect shoe for business casual dress and also great with jeans.
Excellent investment. These shoes are worth the spend.
Great shoes - love them!
I understand Cole Haan has a relationship with Nike. I suspect this is why he loves the fit and feel of these shoes - very nice shoes!
Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. And the classic style is so too bad either!
Look and feel is consistent with the rest of the line. No break in needed, instant comfort with these shoes. Light on the feet, classic look with some flare.
I get many compliments on these shoes. They are versatile & comfortable. Also, they are not a shoe that everyone has, so I like their uniqueness, while looking very stylish!
The zerogrand chukka was exactly what I was looking for - looks great, fits well, warm, and comfortable.
I've loved Cole Haan Chukkas for about 3 years now. This is my first experience with the 2.ZEROGRAND, as I've only owned Original Grands until now. The craftsmanship and fit are very similar to the OG, meaning they get top marks from me in those departments. The only thing keeping me from giving a 5th star is there is a pronounced heel raise in the 2.ZEROGRAND that takes some getting used to. Perhaps this is extra cushion and it will end up extending the life of the grand sole. Other may like this feel, but I prefer the more level feel of the Original Grans. I would still recommend these to anyone, with the caveat that the heel feels slightly raised. I wore them all weekend on a trip recently, and still very comfortable.
Looked like my milkshake ones!
I like the look for casual wear. You can wear it on with jeans and khakis. It's a good look. Looking forward to wearing it.
I have the exact pair from last year. Like them so much I wanted another pair.
Perfect boot for casual Fridays!
Awesome boot. Warm/comfortable/ lightweight and stylish.
I buy Cole Haan for style and comfortability as I'm constantly on my feet and always moving.
Nice color and I only wear Cole Haan shoes. They are comfortable. Great sale price too.
My husband already owns another chukka style from here and absolutely loves it! Got this one because it's a different color and slightly different style/sole.
Great walking shoe - comfortable and looks great.
Never had Chukka's - wanted to give them a try. And they're Cole Haan.
Great Shoes, Great Price -- had to have them. I'm walking a lot and I need the extra support around my ankle. I thought these were perfect for my need and the price was right on a quality pair for boots.
They look fresh and the reviews say they are super comfortable.
Great looking shoe and it's Black Friday prices. Come on!
What's the best way to clean Men's 2.ZERØGRAND Chukka?
BEST ANSWER: For smooth leather styles, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface soil. When completely dry, apply complementary color polish to cover scratches and/or scuffs. You may also occasionally apply leather conditioner according to manufacturer directions. For soles, our Grand Sole Cleaner is specifically designed to clean the soles and edges of rubberized footwear. Packaged in an easy to control fingertip pump spray, the product will help clean both oil-based and water-based stains.
Use Cole Haan's Leather cleaning and conditioning lotion. Don't use any water on the leather, you can use warm water and a little soap with a towel/cloth to clean the soles.
Are these storm welt and can you resole at a cobbler? or once the rubber wears are they are done?
BEST ANSWER: The shoes are not storm worm welt. The stitching texture you see at the widest portions of the shoe are not real. They are only textured to imitate stitching, and the texturing doesn't continue around the toe or under the arch of the shoe. I've never had a pair of my shoes resoled, but I have a hard time believing that the composite/foam/molded EVA sole could be replaced.
BEST ANSWER: No, however apply Cole Haan Leather Protector spray (available in stores) to provide water resistant protection. Or,visit our Weatherproof section to view other chukkas and boots that are waterproof.
Every pair of socks I wear with these get dyed around the toes by the leather. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
BEST ANSWER: What you are seeing is not unusual - and Stephen's answer is correct. Some leathers are tanned using vegetable dyes - a more delicate process than chemical tanning that leaves the leather with a softer feel. When these leathers come into contact with skin or heat (perspiration) they tend to release color for a period of time. This happens with shoes and also handbag handles. It will dissipate over time and the color should come off the skin with regular soap and water. Try shaking a bit of foot powder into your shoes before wearing. This will help to absorb moisture.
You can try an insole, but I had the same issue myself.
What is the difference between the 2.zerogrand chukka and the original Grand chukka?
BEST ANSWER: The 2.ZERØGRAND Chukka is a slightly more athletic, innovative edition of the OriginalGrand; the biggest difference being in the outsole. Both have fine leather uppers and Grand.OS foot bed technology. 2.0 has 3 sets of eyelets while OriginalGrand has 4 - slightly more dressy look. For particular details, please see the description on the product pages.
Can these be resoled like redwings?
maybe time to start looking for other brands/options.
BEST ANSWER: This style was made in size 13, however, because it was a Fall 2017 style, all the 13s are sold out online. No worries, though - this style was also sold by many of our retail partners. Do an online search for "Cole Haan Men's 2.0Grand Chukka". Good luck!
BEST ANSWER: If you take a look at the thumbnail picture of the sole on the product page, you'll notice the ribbed texture and the toe and heel pods. These are great features not only for traction, but also for lightweight flexibility.

A continual product of oxygenic photosynthesis is dioxygen, and its gradual accumulation in the ocean and atmosphere had remarkable effects. the Calvin cycle. eBooks. Products of Photosynthesis Process. Do you know what the most critical thing for life on earth is? Photosynthesis requires sunlight, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide gas. Something had to change! An extremely important by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen, on which most organisms depend. Photosynthesis, which is the process through which some living organisms, including most plants and some fungi, make their own food, produces oxygen as a waste product. Glucose stores the energy. What are the products of photosynthesis? Oxygen is liberated as a by-product and light is considered as a major factor to complete the process of photosynthesis. 4. It also produces fats, proteins, and water soluble sugars such as maltose and sucrose. 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2. While this is the main food source for plants and animals, these 3-carbon skeletons can be combined … Plant physiologists and biochemists have tried to find the first product of this process. Glucose … The product of photosynthesis is sugar (C6H12O6), and its byproduct is Oxygen. It proceeds in the sequence of light phase and dark phase. Oxygen stores the energy. All living organisms require a supply of food. Both of these are used by the plants cellular mitochondria during it's respiration process. The oxygen atoms, however, form oxygen gas, which is a waste product of photosynthesis. But still it is not clear which the first product of photosynthesis. A. The water which is absorbed by plants is converted to hydrogen and oxygen by using energy derived from the Sun. John. Photosynthesis occurs in membrane-bound structures called the chloroplasts. Glucose, a carbohydrate processed during photosynthesis, is mostly used by plants as an energy source to build leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. red and blue. As you can see in the photosynthesis equation given above, the two main products of this process are glucose and oxygen. View more. 4. The petroleum came into being due to intense pressure applied to the plants and animals over millions of years. The starting materials of photosynthesis are _____. Which substance from the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis is a source of energy for the light-independent reactions? 0 0. Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process happening in green plants during which plant body synthesizes its own food material by taking carbon dioxide from atmosphere and water from the soil in presence of sunlight. The reactants of photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are the same as the products of respiration the products of photosynthesis C6H12O6 and O2 are the same as the reactants of respiration (Activity C continued on next page) Activity C (continued from previous page) 5. Review: In photosynthesis and respiration, energy is converted from one form to another. Photosynthesis. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight; and the end-products are oxygen and (energy rich) carbohydrates, for example sucrose and starch.This process is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life depends on it. The end product(s) of photosynthesis in plants are oxygen plus: (tick one answer) a) Glucose b) Starch c) Starch and Sucrose d) Water Misconception – Photosynthesis is the opposite of respiration 7. glucose and oxygen ? It occurs in the mesophyll and bundle-sheath cells of the leaves. Photosynthesis is also used by algae to convert solar energy into chemical energy. C O 2 B. H 2 O. C. Glucose. The products of photosynthesis are the carbohydrates and oxygen. Or that your cooking gas is a product of photosynthesis? The end product(s) of photosynthesis in plants are oxygen plus: is related to Quiz on Photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs a higher percentage of _____ and _____ light. Two of these molecules combined equals one glucose molecule, the product seen in the photosynthesis equation. Photosynthesis stops at a temperature of about 3 5 o C. View solution. Photosynthesis can also be seen as the reverse of respiration where the by-products of respiration are used as primary raw materials in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the name given to the set of chemical reactions performed by plants to convert energy from the sun into chemical energy in … The plants depend on this glucose for their growth and energy. Which compound is a product of photosynthesis? Photosynthesis, derived from the Greek words photo, meaning "light," and synthesis "putting together," is a process used by plants and some bacteria to harness the energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar (glucose) and oxygen. These reactions take place inside the stroma of the chloroplasts. c. Carbon dioxide and water. Here you can create your own quiz and questions like The end product(s) of photosynthesis in plants are oxygen plus: also and share with your friends. What product of photosynthesis is converted into energy during cellular respiration? glucose. Reaction. ... Photosynthetic reactions occur, and the oxygen product is released into the atmosphere from the stoma. D. O 2 Answer. ATP stores the energy. Molecules of glucose later combine with each other to form more complex carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose. We get petroleum from plants that stored light energy in their system millions of years ago, thanks to photosynthesis, as well as animals that ate those plants. Equation 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 Photosynthesis reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. View solution. Identify the false statements and rewrite them correctly by changing the first or the last word only. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is... only used in the light independent reaction. The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which is the molecule that produces energy to run the processes of the cell. The immediate product of photosynthesis is glucose. The evolution of photosynthesis refers to the origin and subsequent evolution of photosynthesis, the process by which light energy synthesizes sugars from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product. Essentially, nonphotosynthetic cells use the products of photosynthesis to do the opposite of photosynthesis: break down glucose and release carbon dioxide. 2. The process of photosynthesis in plants is the reverse of the respiration process in humans. These questions will build your knowledge and your own create quiz will build yours and others people knowledge. What other substance evolve in photosynthesis besides oxygen? energy and oxygen Select two correct responses from the following: Photosynthesis is important because without it we would not exist. As has been stated, carbohydrates are the most important direct organic product of photosynthesis in the majority of green plants. The intermediate products of photosynthesis are probably ATP and NADPH, which are produced in the light reactions and consumed in the Calvin cycle to make monosaccharides from environmental carbon dioxide (CO2). The process of photosynthesis was discovered by Jan Ingenhousz, a Dutch-born British physician and scientist, first publishing about it in 1779. Glucose and oxygen. Glucose and oxygen are the final products of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves the use of energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. It is a slower process of carbon fixation and photo-respiratory losses are high. carbon dioxide water oxygen*** ATP What happens to the energy released during cellular respiration? *** The chemical equation of cellular respiration contains information about the intermediate reactions needed to break down glucose. Fig. Light is a form of radiant energy. ATP and NADPH are products of light reactions, ATP is present to be broken down to have energy released. Photosynthesis converts radiant energy into chemical energy. In most green cells, carbohydrates—especially starch and the sugar sucrose—are the major direct organic products of photosynthesis. The products of photosynthesis are ? Four carbohydrates, D-glucose. View solution . The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is such that the products of one system are the reactants of the other. Photosynthesis in plants, algae and cyanobacteria is similar to bacterial photosynthesis in requirement for large amount of energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate) but different with respect to form of chemical reductants and resultant end products of photosynthesis. 2.6 The rise of dioxygen during geological history, and some consequences. Carbon dioxide stores the energy. Hence Glucose and oxygen are the final products. Water is a starting product of photosynthesis. . The gross equation for photosynthesis is: #6CO_2+6H_2O->C_6H_12O_6+6O_2# Carbon dioxide and water (AND sunlight) are taken in, the glucose is used by the plant and oxygen is released as a waste product. Photosynthesis is the process in plants and certain other organisms that uses the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. We get a tan from photosynthesis. What are the reactants of cellular respiration in plants? Glucose is a … Before photosynthesis evolved, Earth's atmosphere lacked oxygen altogether, and this highly reactive gas was toxic to the many organisms living at the time. The direct products of the light reactions and the Calvin cycle are 3-phosphoglycerate and G3P, two different forms of a 3-carbon sugar molecule. It occurs only in the mesophyll cells of the leaves. The first stable product is oxaloacetic acid. 3. The chemical equation for photosynthesis involves the input (reactants) of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce the outputs (products) of glucose and oxygen. We all know that photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use sunlight to make their own food. 3. Ecological Importance Of Photosynthesis. 4. Photosynthesis occurs when plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Suppose a plant is placed in a pure oxygen atmosphere. The formation of a simple carbohydrate, glucose, is indicated by a chemical equation. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. energy and glucose ? D-fructose, sucrose and starch are commonly are formed in the green cells during photosynthesis. The process by which plants convert solar energy into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Lv 4. Products of Photosynthesis. The first stable product is 3-phosphoglycerate. The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose which is the source of carbohydrates like cellulose, starch, etc. Coal and natural gas were also produced in the same way. NADPH is present to transform carbon dioxide molecules into glucose (sugars). The oxygen given off supplies most of the oxygen in our atmosphere. During darkness hours plants can't perform photosynthesis so instead they do cellular respiration, which occurs in the mitochondria. This chemical process is a fundamental equation for understanding how photosynthesis compliments respiration. Most contemporary … glucose and carbon dioxide ? Create custom Assignments. Six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are needed to produce one molecule of glucose. Products of Photosynthesis. Oxygen is mainly a byproduct of the process of photosynthesis. 6 years ago. Plants use the energy produced during photosynthesis to grow flowers, fruits and seeds.Tree leaves and roots are used as ingredients in manufacturing some medicines. Next to the origin of life itself, the development of oxygenic photosynthesis is probably the most important step in all of evolution. The by-product of photosynthesis is. oxygen and glucose. NADPH.

Before leaving my Colorado home to head to Boston for the NAIS annual conference, I've been reading about the monstrous snow in New England.
Ironic – because the weekend before my trip, it's the long President's Day weekend, and I'm doing what a lot of Denver/Boulder people do when there's a day off school. I'm heading up to the Colorado mountains for some powder. The ski resorts here are crying out for snow. The streets of Vail and Breckenridge are dry. There is enough snow on the slopes, some of it man-made, for a good day's skiing, but not too much around town. I think Boston has grabbed it all.
That's ok with me because I'm grateful. Grateful to be coming to Boston and to be presenting at NAIS for the first time. Grateful to have a day off school. Grateful to live in a place where some of the world's best skiing is a short drive away – the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships are being held in Vail this week. Grateful for the famous Colorado blue skies under which I skied this weekend.
At my school in Boulder, CO we spent a full-year focusing on the positive power of gratitude, something we called The Gratitude Project.
At the NAIS annual conference, I will be sharing the story of the Project and the lessons that our school community learned. (I hope you will join me – Block 2 on Thursday 26th, 12:00 – 1:00 PM in Room 206.) These lessons included far-reaching associations with the leading gratitude researchers and a school community transformed by the power of gratitude.
The Gratitude Project was a multi-faceted endeavor that spanned the breadth of my school's community and curriculum. Our faculty developed a gratitude curriculum and discovered many of the huge benefits listed above.
Gratitude is becoming widely accepted as one of the key ingredients to raising children of character. That is something that independent schools have always been excellent at. We're now learning about new ways to do an even better job of raising kids with character. And for that, I'm grateful.
Previous PostThe Daily Find Feb. 13, 2015Next PostGirls Can Make Stuff Too!
Loved this post! If you visit my blog, you'll see I agree wholeheartedly about gratitude. In fact, I began the blog because I will be turning 39 in April. I decided to document the year before I turn 40 by doing something intentionally kind for others and reflecting on 1 thing I'm grateful for each day. After reading several books on this topic, I want to document the changes that will occur in my life. I hope our paths cross at NAIS. I'll be attending the session on gratitude.

Development. By the fourth century, Syriac Christianity flourished within Roman- and Persian-controlled Mesopotamia. For centuries, these archrivals clashed, jockeying for control of the Fertile Crescent. Home to two of the greatest intellectual centers in late antiquity, the Mesopotamian cities of Edessa and Nisibis nurtured scholars and monks, hermits and poets. Among them is the great theologian, St. Ephrem the Syrian.
From Edessa developed a family of liturgies — celebrated in Syriac — that is used today in a number of forms by more than 15 million Christians of the Syriac tradition in as many as 10 different churches. One form, the Anaphora of Mar Addai and Mar Mari, includes elements of the Jewish tradition, such as its eucharistic prayer, which stems from the Jewish prayer of thanksgiving after meals. Curiously, this eucharistic prayer does not include the institution narrative.
While Syriac Christians within the eastern Roman Empire participated in the great Christological debates of the fourth through seventh centuries, Persia's Syriac Christians developed independently. By the year 410, the bishop of the Persian capital of Seleucia-Ctesiphon emerged as the senior hierarch of the Persian church, assuming the title of catholicos then patriarch.
Commonly referred to as the Church of the East, this community at first remained in communion with the churches of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. Yet, it grew under the watchful eyes of the Sassanid Persians — followers of the prophet Zoroaster — who suspected the church of harboring loyalties to Byzantium.
Long after Christianity received state support in Armenia and Byzantium, Persian Christians suffered bouts of persecution, forcing them to look away from the world of Christian Byzantium and its ecumenical councils.
