Longevity-induced vertical innovation and the tradeoff between life and growth

We analyze the economic growth effects of rising longevity in a framework of endogenous growth driven by quality-improving innovations. A rise in longevity increases savings and thereby places downward pressure on the market interest rate. Since the monopoly profits generated by a successful innovation are discounted by the endogenous market interest rate, this raises the net present value of innovations, which, in turn, fosters R&D investments. The associated increase in the employment of scientists leads to faster technological progress and a higher long-run economic growth rate. From a welfare perspective, the direct effect of an increase in life expectancy tends to be larger than the indirect effect of the induced higher consumption due to faster economic growth. Consequently, the debate on rising health care expenditures should not be predominantly based on the growth effects of health care.

Do you fulfill the astronaut requirements ?
Astronaut requirements depend on space agencies criteria, which means that it depends on your nationality. Countries listed below have a current or near future manned spaceflight program.
Your country isn't in the list above ?
Well, it seems that so far your country doesn't have a manned spaceflight program, and won't develop one in the near future. Nevertheless, if you're a permament resident of Canada you may be eligible to become an astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency, even if you're not a canadian citizen : click here for more infos.
Keep hope ! More and more space agencies around the world launch a manned spaceflight program. For example, in 2021 India will send people in space for the first time. Moreover, a lot of private space companies open each year. A private space company dedicated in sending tourists in space might open in your country in the future, and it will have to recruit people to go to space with tourists. What if you became a "private" astronaut ?
You aren't able to fulfill the astronaut requirements of your space agency ?
Don't panic ! The criteria evolve in each astronaut selection, according to space agency's future missions and ambitions. For example, in the early days of the U.S. space program only Air Force pilots were able to apply. Moreover, the physical and medical criteria were harder to fulfill at the time. But after years of experience in space, NASA changed the astronaut requirements to afford a larger range of people to apply, with more diversity in educational and professional experiences. Stay motivated and build an attractive profile to make your dream come true, and in a few years perhaps you will be eligible even if you aren't right now !


Stacy T from Houston, Texas (TX), USA traveled to Mexico to have her lap band surgery at Christus Muguerza Hospital in Mexico.
Everyone has been very nice. The hospital is very clean. From the time of admission to discharge everything has been great. The nursing staff was exceptional. Thanks Healthbase for arranging the surgery.
Stephani from Abita Springs, Louisiana (LA), USA was connected by Healthbase to Hospital Angeles, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico for her affordable lapband surgery.
The Healthbase.com website was extremely easy to use and their customer support was readily available to answer any questions. Everything was better than my expectations. The doctor contacted me before I traveled for the procedure. He visited frequently at the hospital and made sure that the entire experience was as comfortable as possible. The doctor was more concerned with patients and checked in more frequently than any US doctor I`ve ever encountered. Quality of care received was excellent. Equipments and technologies used were better than in the US.
Monica from Overland Park, Kansas (KS), USA went to Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico for her bariatric surgery. Her low cost high quality gastric bypass surgery was coordinated by Healthbase.
Great experience overall. Would definitely do it again through Healthbase!
Teresa from Oregon (OR), USA had gastric bypass surgery at Hospital Clinica Biblica, San Jose, Costa Rica. Her surgery which was performed by Dr. Jacobo Zafrani, was coordinated by Healthbase.
First of all I`d like to thank Moe for all of his work and continued follow up in taking me every step of the way from start to finish with Healthbase.
I had a gastric bypass 10 weeks ago in Costa Rica. My experience was wonderful!
From the time I arrived until I left everyone was totally professional and kind. Dr. Zafrani and team were excellent.
I received the best care possible. The hospital was clean and well staffed.
I would recommend Healthbase to anyone who needs surgery.
Definitely a life changing experience, I have lost 45 pounds in 10 weeks.
I am on my way to a new and healthy life!
Healthbase coordinated affordable high quality Gastric Sleeve surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) for Amy G from USA at Hospital Clinica Biblica, San Jose, Costa Rica.
I needed bariatric surgery and spent many, many months fighting the insurance company to get it done. My doctors felt it was medically necessary but the insurance company did not care. It was going to cost me over $30,000 to have it done in the States and I would have to travel at least 100-200 miles from my home to have the surgery.
Then I found Healthbase and Moe on the web. Moe was able to arrange for me to get the surgery for about 1/3 the cost in Costa Rica including my travel. Moe talked my thru it all, set up consultations with the doctor and answered my hundreds of questions both in email and on the phone. Moe was always patient with me and caring and compassionate. He helped make a difficult trip much easier. When in Costa Rica, the hospital staff were great, the doctor was competent and compassionate and the staff at the recovery center were warm and caring and took care of all your needs! Thanks Moe for all your support before, during and after the procedure.
I will definitely use Healthbase again for another procedure and would recommend them to others! They took all the worries out of Medical Tourism.

CBS lead NFL director Mike Arnold (left) will direct the AFC Championship game and Super Bowl LII for CBS Sports. (Photo: CBS Sports).
Like many professional football players themselves, CBS Sports Lead television director Mike Arnold tries to treat the Super Bowl as he would a regular season game, calling the same shots and camera angles—albeit with many more cameras at his disposal, augmented reality graphics on the field and virtually every part of the playing field mic'd up.
A veteran of the past four Super Bowl telecasts on CBS, Arnold said he will approach this year's Super Bowl LIII show on February 3, live from Atlanta's Mercedes Benz Stadium, as he would any other he has directed in his illustrious career.
Arnold will also direct the preceding AFC Championship game on January 20 live from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. For both games he'll be perched in the same mobile production truck, NEP's SSCBS mobile unit—complete with more than three-dozen Sony 14x HDC-2500 cameras, about a dozen Sony HDC-4300 4K SuperSloMo cameras and, new this year, a Panasonic 8K camera for super high resolution HD replays—and conduct the games in the same way he always does. All will utilize Fujinon's latest 4K lenses.
The physical configuration of the unit is three double-expanding 53-ft. trailers and a fourth truck for game related activities. The A unit has a 15- x 21-ft. production area and a 15- x 18-ft. graphics area (each with 12 positions). The large monitor wall that Arnold and his team will be closely watching those camera feeds on is made up of numerous Boland Communications 31x32" flat screen displays.
Story telling, he said, is most important and Arnold helps create that with close-ups of the players and then also wide shots of the stadium so the audience can get a feel for what it's like to actually be there at the game.
NEP's SSCBS truck, which was used for the NFL regular season, features a wide array of live production equipment, including a Grass Valley Kayenne switcher and multiple EVS XT3 replay servers. Click to enlarge.
NEP's SSCBS also features a 192-input Grass Valley Kayenne Elite production switcher, along with supporting the "B" and "C" trucks, will handle the 115 total cameras (86 dedicated to game play itself), the on-air graphics, a full complement of EVS XT3 (HD) and XT4 (4K) replay devices, and Calrec Audio Apollo and Artemis audio mixing consoles.
Arnold said this year his shot selection will often shadow CBS Sports on-air announcer Tony Romo's commentary, because the former quarterback has gained a reputation for seeing the entire field from a player's perspective and how plays develop.
"When [Tony Romo] says 'That's a great block' by a player, I try to quickly focus on that player and follow his perspective," Arnold said. "We've worked together all year long and have formed an unspoken bond that viewers have really taken to.
Many of those replays will capture end zone action and super slow-motion replays with 16 Sony 4K cameras (HDC-4800) 4K/HD Ultra High Frame Rate systems and one Panasonic (AK-SHB810) 8K camera system. The later uses a single "organic" film sensor capable of shooting 8K/60p video, with wide dynamic range (HDR) and global shutter to prevent image distortion.
This year's telecast will also feature augmented reality graphics on the field, complete with a roving camera operators that will enable viewers at home to see the planned player stats and game analysis in a while new way. It sounds cool, but Arnold is a bit nervous about how it will all work. He'll get a rehearsal with it the week before the Super Bowl and hopefully become comfortable with it by (AFC Championship) game time on January 20th.

On that day, Heo gave a lecture in the civil service training center. Then he asked Lee Hye-jun (Sim Eun-kyung), "Why did you become a public servant? Lee Hye-jun responded, "I wanted to be a necessary person for the weak in our society." Lee Hye-jun "I will ask you. Vice president said that he felt angry at the seniors during the financial crisis, and then what kind of senior is he?" Huh Jae replied, "What does that mean?" . Huh Jae replied, "I'm a senior.

I asked. When Chae Lee-Hun shared his opinion, Heo Jae-Hun said, "I have a plan to break down." Chae Lee-heon said, "I can be criticized," Heo Jae-ho said, "I do not know who is standing in front of me. Will you be with me? Chae is my man now." However, Hur had a conflict with Chae Byung-je on this issue, and after a while, he followed Chae Byeong-hak's promenade, which had avoided his contact. Hur Jae asked, "Do you go to the Blue House. Please do not disturb this time." But Chae Byung-hak said, "It's too unstable as an economic bureaucracy. I don't understand the autonomy of the market." Huh said, "In some cases, even strong government intervention is necessary." Chae said, "It's a weapon." Huh Jae, angry, pushed Chae Byung-hak from the cliff, shouting, "Please stay still."

Love Taste 2
As the official number 2 couple was born, it exceeded 5% of the audience rating. In addition, it ranked first in the same time period performing arts including terrestrial and japanese. 'Taste of Love 2' was fully established as the best performer on Thursday night. In the background is a couple of couples approaching each other with a true heart.
The TV shipbuilding entertainment program 'The second we did not know: The taste of romance' (Love Taste 2) also worked again. After Lee Philhm-Seo Su-yeon's couple, Oh Chang-seok and Lee Chae-un emitted a couple and exceeded the audience rating of 5%.
The ratings of 'Love Taste 2' on the 11th recorded 5.1% (based on Nielsen Korea pay-TV broadcasting and metropolitan area). This is the highest rating of 'Love Taste 2' itself, and it is the top one in the same time zone including terrestrial and comprehensive channels.
In 'Love Taste 2' on the day, a couple of Oh Chang-seok and Lee Chae-eun were shown to be an official couple at the baseball stadium. As I walked through the theaters and parks, I confessed each other 's heart. Oh Chang – seok confessed, "Will you be my girlfriend?" And Lee Chae – eun said, "I want to be me".
The house theater was painted in pink. Oh, Chang-seok – Lee Chae-eun, a group of viewers gathered to see how couples become real lovers. As a result, 'Love Taste 2' exceeded its highest rating and its 5% audience rating.
Seo Hye-jin, director of 'Love Taste 2', said in a telephone conversation with OSEN, "It seems that Oh Chang-seok-Lee Chae-eun has received a lot of strength from the point of declaring an official lover. I had a lot of interest. "
Oh Chang – seok and Lee Chae – eun are now expected to demonstrate a deeper romance than other couples because they are now real couples. Seo Hye-jin, director, said, "It seems that Oh Chang-seok wants to travel together after finishing the drama. There were a lot of things that two people wanted to do, but the schedule was not right. Now I want to faithfully support what they want to do. If you focus on doing various things with couples and look at it, it is more fun and you can see 'Love Taste 2'.
Oh Chang – seok – Lee Chae is not only a couple. Other couples, such as Gojo – Kim Bomi, Lee Hyung – chul – Sin Ju, and Suk – joon – Lee Jong – hyun, are approaching their own methods and speeds.

Hassell and OMA's New Museum for Western Australia is completed
8 January 2020 | By GCR Staff | 0 Comments
The New Museum for Western Australia has been completed in Perth's cultural precinct, and exhibitions are currently being installed to allow the museum to open in November 2020.
The 21,500 sq m museum was designed by Australian architect Hassell and Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture's (OMA). It is made up of refurbished heritage buildings and newly built structures, which will house what the architects describe as a "collection of stories" over two internal intersecting circulation loops, one vertical and the other horizontal.
The development also contains the City Room, an outdoor public space in the centre of the museum, that can accommodate large community events.
Works on display in the museum will include a meteorite collection and a blue whale skeleton; a large gallery holding temporary exhibits will complement the permanent features.
David Gianotten, OMA's managing partner, said: "The New Museum is a place to welcome everyone to explore the natural and social heritage of Western Australia.
"More importantly, it has been deliberately designed as a place for conversations, to inspire new ideas and knowledge of global relevance. It is a museum that both showcases and stimulates discoveries.
"Western Australia's natural resources, culture and history are diverse. Instead of prescribing a singular interpretation of Western Australia, the loops enable visitors to engage with the museum's collection in distinctive ways, and tell the manifold stories of the place."
Mark Loughnan, Hassell's principal, said: "Our vision for the design was to create a space that promotes engagement and collaboration, responding to the needs of the museum and the community.
"We wanted it to be a civic place for everyone; an interesting mix of heritage and contemporary architecture, that contributes to the revitalisation of Perth's cultural precinct while celebrating the culture of Western Australia on the world stage."
Hassell and OMA won a design competition for the project in August 2017.

If you'e a summer-junkie like me, you may need a little coaxing to embrace the changing of the seasons. In the same way that birthday parties make getting older a bit more tolerable, a fall celebration can help warm you up to the chill of change. New York stylist Brynn Watkins is an expert at easy entertaining. Here, she gives us her top five tips on how to plan a seasonal party that everyone can enjoy. So don't turn up the heat so you can wear your bathing suit inside (What? Who? Me? Never!), instead, throw on your fuzziest sweater and ring in autumn with an easy, stylish dinner party.
Fall is in full swing right now in NYC. We love celebrating fall at our little Brooklyn apartment and want to share the joy of the new season with our friends. Cue an autumn dinner party! When I say dinner party I know some of you will want to run for the hills. Doesn't that require scary planning and crazy perfectionist cooking? I'm here to tell you dinner parties can be easy (and even easier with a little help from Society6!).
Here are my top five tips to make a fall dinner party festively fun AND stress-free. Here we go!
1. Add pops of fall colors to decor in your dining area.
This is so easy to do. Just think fall colors: oranges, browns, blacks, and yellows. I simply added some pillows, tossed a throw over a chair and changed up our wall art with some festive fall-inspired pieces. Rock what you got and have fun!
2. Bake pumpkin deserts galore.
For this party, I had some fun in the kitchen making healthy variations of pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin bread. I always love actually spending time in the kitchen baking, it gives me great clarity and is perfect for stress-relief! (Plus, you get some tasty treats!) Bonus: if you use pumpkins for decorating, you can use them later to make yummy deserts!
3. Create a letter writing station for your guests.
Letter writing has sadly become a lost art. I wanted to make it more accessible by having fall themed cards, stamps, and envelopes at a cute station. Guests can send their loved ones fall greetings as part of the party fun.
4. Craft a simple centerpiece using pumpkins and greenery.
I bought a few pumpkins and gourds, arranged them to go along my table and filled in the spaces with greenery. Bam! I have an easy, festive, and beautiful centerpiece.
5. Take time to relax in comfy clothes before your guests arrive.
If you're like me, you can get a major rush of both anxiety and excitement on the day of your party. My husband and I love to take some chill time on party day to relax in comfy clothes.


City officials and community members gather in Rosedale for the $2.2 million groundbreaking for Brookville Park.
Ground was broken last week at Brookville Park , which is expected to reopen in 2018 with $2.2 million in new and updated features.
The park's other structures include an expanded picnic area with an accessible path to ADA, new grills, coal bin trash receptacle stations, bleacher seating at the sports field and a new sports lighting and surface, according to the park commissioner.
City Councilman Donovan Richards (D-Laurelton) and Mayor Bill de Blasio funded the renovations to the 89.95-acre park.
Community Board 13 District Manager Mark McMillian, state Sen. Leroy Comrie (D-St. Albans) and representatives from state Sen. James Sanders (D-South Ozone Park) attended the groundbreaking.
When the tennis court was last resurfaced in 2001, it was also named after JFK Airport traffic controller and Rosedale resident Derek Dilworth (1955-1999) that same year. He was an avid tennis player and park volunteer who lobbied for the maintenance of Brookville Courts. He repainted fences, purchased storage equipment and obtained fish for the park's pond, according to Lewandowski.

Eufy SoloCam E40 review: The security camera you should buy now
Jonathan Bray
The Eufy SoloCam E40 is a flexible, reliable and easy-to-use smart security camera with no ongoing fees
No subscription needed
8GB of internal storage
Sharp imagery
Setting motion zones is fiddly
Web dashboard is basic
Wireless security cameras are common these days, but few get as much right as the Eufy SoloCam E40. Many are tied to overpriced subscriptions or require you to pay to unlock the full feature set, and even then they mostly cost upwards of £150.
Not this camera. The Eufy SoloCam E40 comes with all the features ready to go, has local storage so you can retrieve all your motion-triggered clips without having to pay extra, and it doesn't cost the earth.
READ NEXT: Our pick of the best home security cameras you can buy
Eufy SoloCam E40 review: What do you get for the money?
The SoloCam E40 will set you back £120, and it's a fairly simple thing. In the box is the camera itself, which has a rechargeable (non-swappable) battery built in, and a small plastic bracket for mounting the camera on a wall. There's no wireless hub included because you don't need one; the SoloCam, as the name suggests, is a standalone unit and connects directly to your home Wi-Fi network.

As with a lot of other outdoor Wi-Fi security cameras, the Eufy SoloCam E40 can be mounted pretty much anywhere you like, either indoors or outdoors. It's weatherproof to the IP65 standard and so should withstand dust and rain without any problems, and its rechargeable battery means you don't have to worry about running cables to keep it powered up.
Eufy says it will last up to four months on a single charge, depending on clip length, frequency and resolution. Recharging is done by simply removing it from its mount and plugging in via micro-USB cable.
Other key features include the ability to capture video footage at up to 2K resolution, automatic infrared night vision via a single LED and person detection. The SoloCam also allows you to control various features and view the feed using the Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants. Alas, HomeKit is not supported.
The Eufy SoloCam's main attraction, however, is that you don't have to pay for a subscription to access any particular feature. Instead of being stored by default in the cloud, video clips are recorded straight to the camera's 8GB of onboard storage (included as standard). Cloud storage is available at extra cost but isn't required.
The only big feature the SoloCam E40 misses out on is a floodlight, although it does have a 90dB audio alarm that can be triggered either manually or automatically, depending on your preferences.

Eufy SoloCam E40 review: How well does it work?
Setup and installation is a doddle. You simply download and install the Eufy Security app to your smartphone or tablet, add the camera – connecting it to your home network in the process – and you're ready to go.
Screwing the mount into the wall is probably the most demanding thing you'll have to do but, if you can find a wooden surface, that's pretty straightforward as well.
Using the camera is mostly a doddle, too. The SoloCam E40 and accompanying app works as it does with most other security cameras. You get a view of all your cameras on the main page – in my case that's just the one – then you can dive in to view the live feed or tap the Events icon to see your list of motion-triggered video clips.
In the settings, you can choose to have these events generated by any movement or just the appearance of people (referred to as "humans" in the app) in the frame. It's also possible to set activation zones and adjust the motion detection sensitivity so that movement in a particular area of the frame – a waving tree branch, for instance – doesn't generate a plethora of false positives.
Once video clips have been generated, you can filter these, too, making it easier to sort through long lists. Other settings include the ability to optimise for battery life by restricting clip length to 20 seconds or dropping the resolution from 2K to 1080p. I found that by optimising for quality and clip length, the battery comfortably lasted a month and a half but struggled to reach a full two months. If you want to hit the manufacturer's claimed four months, it looks, at the very least, as though you'll have to restrict your clip length.
All of this worked flawlessly when I tested it. Notifications were only generated when required and video quality was impressive as well. Visuals were crisp and clear and, with the 2K resolution, I found details such as faces were easy enough to pick out. Night vision footage was decent as well, although the image was, overall, softer.
Eufy Solocam E40 review: What could it do better?
Generally, I was impressed with the performance and the features of the SoloCam, but there are a couple of areas that could be improved, and those focus on the app and accompanying web dashboard.
Setting up motion zones in the app, for example, proved incredibly fiddly. Adding a motion zone to the image drops a shaded area bounded with a series of "handles" or nodes onto the frame. By dragging these nodes around the screen, you set the areas in which you want motion to be detected.
Attempting to do this precisely on the screen of my phone, however, proved an exercise in futility. Most of my attempts to tap and drag a node resulted in me dragging the zone around, and it took two to three attempts to reposition each node. Annoyingly, the node would often spring back to its original position if I ended up placing it too close to the edge of the frame.
This might not be such a problem if the web dashboard on the Eufy Security website allowed you to set motion zones using your mouse. Alas, it's a rather basic affair, only allowing you to view the live stream from your camera. You can't change settings or even view locally recorded video events.

Eufy Solocam E40 review: Verdict
Still, these shortcomings are more irritations than deal breakers and, otherwise, the Eufy SoloCam E40 is a cracking security camera.
It combines great image quality with easy setup, a rechargeable battery for flexible positioning, a generous 8GB of onboard storage and no requirement for an ongoing subscription.
With reliable person detection and with the added bonus of a built-in alarm thrown in for good measure, there's very little this security camera lacks. At a price of just £120, it's an astonishing deal as well.

Les fleurs coupées sont des fleurs ou des boutons floraux (souvent avec du feuillage) qui ont été coupées de la plante avec leur tige ou pédoncule. Elles servent à des fins décoratives, et sont souvent disposées dans des vases, ou servent à confectionner des couronnes et guirlandes. De nombreux jardiniers récoltent leurs propres fleurs coupées dans les jardins domestiques, mais il existe dans la plupart des pays une importante activité horticole professionnelle consacrée aux fleurs coupées. Les plantes florales cultivées sont adaptées aux conditions climatiques, culturelles et au niveau de richesse local. Souvent, les plantes sont cultivées spécifiquement à cette fin, soit en plein champ, soit en serre. Les fleurs coupées peuvent également être récoltées dans la nature.

La culture et le commerce des fleurs est une spécialité en horticulture, plus précisément en floriculture.
Les fleurs coupées se vendent à l'unité ou en bottes, ou en bouquets et en compositions florales. Elles constituent l'une des trois catégorie commercialisées de plantes à fleurs, avec les plantes fleuries en pot (ou potées fleuries) et les plantes à massif (végétaux d'extérieur). Elles sont vendues principalement par les fleuristes, et secondairement par les autres canaux de distribution (grande distribution, jardineries, marchés ou foires, producteurs).

Utilisation

Une utilisation courante est la fleuristerie, généralement pour la décoration d'intérieur des logements et des bâtiments. En règle générale, les fleurs coupées sont placées dans un vase. Un certain nombre de types de décorations similaires sont utilisées, en particulier dans les grands bâtiments et lors d'événements tels que les mariages. Ceux-ci sont souvent décorés,outre les fleurs, à l'aide de feuillage supplémentaire.Dans certaines cultures, les fleurs coupées sont principalement utilisées pour le culte ; cela peut s'observer en particulier dans le sud et le sud-est asiatique. Parfois, les fleurs sont cueillies plutôt que coupées, sans feuille ou tige significative. Ces fleurs peuvent être portées dans les cheveux ou à la boutonnière. Des quantités de fleurs peuvent être utilisées pour les projeter , à la manière de confettis.

Les guirlandes, couronnes et bouquets sont les principaux produits dérivés à valeur ajoutée.

Genres populaires
Parmi les espèces et genres les plus populaires dans le commerce des fleurs coupées, on trouve notamment :

Central: Most counties reported fair soil moisture. Overall, rangeland, pastures and crops were in fair condition. Livestock were also rated fair. Pastures throughout the region had large amounts of dead vegetation due to the dry winter. Livestock were in fair to good condition and still being supplemented with hay and feed. Winter wheat was recovering from freeze damage. Producers continued to struggle with reducing cow numbers based on dry conditions. Corn emerged, but stands were spotty as not all seed had enough moisture to germinate.
Coastal Bend: The week began with light rain followed by some 70-degree sunny days and ended with temperatures dropping back into the low 50s. The earlier warm temperatures along with adequate soil moisture were beneficial to winter pastures and volunteer clover. Farmers were applying herbicide to control broom weed. Some were fertilizing hay fields. Planting of row crops continued at a brisk pace. Growers had nearly finished planting corn, with sorghum and rice planting about half done. No cotton was planted yet. Pastures began to green up. Livestock continued to sell well at local auctions.
East: Temperatures around the region continued to vary widely, as did pasture conditions. In some instances, the warmer temperatures stimulated some forages to grow, and trees to leaf out and open blooms. But elsewhere, cold nighttime temperatures were preventing summer forages from breaking dormancy. Producers began preparing hay pastures. Many counties reported rain. Low-lying pastures remained soggy in some areas. Wet soils also made working conditions difficult for logging operations. Cattle and goats showed good body condition. Cows were still calving. In some areas, producers were still feeding hay and supplements since there was not enough grass to help the cattle nutritionally. In others, cattle were abandoning hay for greened up grass. Hay supplies were getting low. Vegetable planting increased. Feral hogs continued causing damage.
Far West: The week began very dry and windy with colder temperatures, then became milder. Planting of already prepared cotton fields was expected to begin the first week of April. Alfalfa was growing, but pecan trees were still dormant. Fall-planted onions were at the four-leaf stage and growing. Generally, cattle were doing well, with ranchers beginning to brand and vaccinate calves in earlier calving herds. Stockers were doing fairly well, with little sickness but not gaining quite as well as expected.
North: Topsoil moisture ranged from short to adequate. An average of 1.5 inches of rain fell across the region, giving some relief to drought conditions. Warmer temperatures combined with the rain were very beneficial to wheat and winter annual pastures. Most fields were greening up and growing. Corn and soybean planting was underway. Hunt County reported corn planting was completed. Livestock were in good condition. Camp County reported issues with gophers as well as feral hogs. Titus County reported honeybees were very active.
Panhandle: Dry and windy conditions continued with near-average temperatures with no moisture received. Soil moisture was mostly very short. High winds dried out soils, which limited farmers preparing the fields for the upcoming season. They were still trying to apply fertilizer, compost and manure under windy conditions. Deaf Smith County reported soil temperatures were rising, with most reporting stations reading 49 to 52 degrees - perfect soil temperatures for weed germination. Winter wheat under irrigation was progressing well, with growers running center pivots more frequently as daytime temperatures rose. Ochiltree County wheat was declining. Rangeland remained dormant, and livestock producers were still supplementing cattle. Stockers were being placed on graze-out wheat where available or moved to feed yards.
Rolling Plains: Some areas reported rain - as much as 2 inches in one county - which greatly improved soil moisture and promoted wheat growth. Generally though, drought conditions persisted, with fields so dry they were hard to till and stock water tanks remained low or dry. Pastures needed moisture to bring out summer grasses and supply enough grazing for livestock. Area lakes and ponds also needed runoff. Livestock were in good condition with producers supplying supplemental feed daily. However, hay supplies were dwindling, and winter wheat grazing in some areas was nearly played out. Peach trees were blooming. Burn bans remained in effect in several counties.
South: Weather was mostly cloudy, windy and cool in the mornings, warming in the afternoons, without much rainfall other than light showers and drizzle. In the northern part of the region, soil moisture was short to very short with the exception of Live Oak County where it was 60 percent adequate. Rangeland and pastures were in fair condition with some spring greening, but not much overall. Some areas reported a decline in cattle body condition scores. Stock tank water levels also declined, and supplemental feeding of livestock continued. Oats were 65 percent headed and in fair condition, but winter wheat was not doing very well. In Atascosa County, 35 percent of corn and 30 percent of sorghum had been planted. In Frio County corn planting was wrapped up, and potato, corn, wheat and oat crops were under irrigation. Live Oak County reported 90 percent of winter wheat crops being in good condition. In the eastern part of the region, soil moisture ranged from 50 percent short to 100 percent adequate. Fifty percent of sorghum in Kleberg and Kenedy counties was planted. In Jim Wells County, range and pastures significantly improved but still needed some soil moisture and warmth to help improve forage production. Wheat growth in that county accelerated, but yield potential remained uncertain due to the dry spell earlier in the growing period. In the western part of the region, soil moisture ranged from 50 percent adequate to 100 percent short. Most counties reported rangeland to be in fair condition, except for Zapata County where the potential for wildfires was high. Livestock producers in Webb County continued culling cattle lightly to allow time for forage recovery. Oats were green in the Maverick County area, and wheat and oat crops were about 40 to 60 percent headed in Zavala County. Most of the counties in the southern part of the region reported adequate soil moisture except for Starr County, where they were 70 percent short. Rangeland and pastures were good to fair throughout the southern counties, with the exception of poor conditions reported by Starr County. In Hidalgo County, the harvesting of sugarcane, citrus and vegetables continued.
South Plains: The region had wide temperature variations, high, gusty winds and blowing dirt. Highs reached the mid-80s, with lows dropping into the mid-20s. Cold fronts brought haboobs (dust storms), with walls of blowing dirt as winds gusted to 58 mph. All in all, it made for miserable conditions for producers trying to prepare fields for this season's cotton crop. Winter wheat was suffering from the drought, with some plant diseases observed. Livestock producers continued to provide supplemental feed to cattle. A common comment was that conditions were reminiscent of the Dust Bowl days.
Southeast: Soil moisture was mostly in the adequate range, but some counties reported from 40 percent very short to as much as 100 percent adequate. Rangeland and pasture ratings varied widely too, from very poor to excellent, with good to fair ratings being the most common. Rainfall amounts varied, with some counties such as Galveston getting heavy showers while Orange County had moderate amounts. In Harris County, rain delayed planting of corn and sorghum. Some fields were dry enough to resume planting later in the week, but more heavy rain was forecast. In Brazoria County, high winds continued to take from soils what little precipitation had been received. In Chambers County, there were attempts to plant rice, but the soil remained too wet to do so. Montgomery County producers were trying to control cool-season clovers that were in the way of their efforts. In Walker County, the cool-season forages were beginning to take off. Clover was looking very good following rains. Small grain pastures were producing well. Stone fruit and pear trees were blooming or had already bloomed. In Brazos County, the slightly warmer soils allowed corn to be planted.
Southwest: Dry conditions persisted. Pastures were greening up, but more rain was needed to replenish subsoil moisture. Peaches were blooming again after the hard freeze the previous week. Corn planting was progressing. Vegetable growers expected to start planting the first of April if warm weather continued. All wildlife and livestock had to be given supplemental feed and water if they were to maintain body condition.
West Central: Severe drought conditions continued throughout the region. Soil moisture was very low, and extreme wildfire danger grew. However, temperatures were mild, and there were some scattered showers reported in isolated areas. Fieldwork and preparations for spring planting were under way. Cotton producers were plowing fields and spraying weeds. Dryland wheat was declining and showing signs of drought stress. Irrigated wheat looked very good. Rangeland and pastures were in poor condition and also declining. Some warm-season grasses were beginning to break dormancy. Livestock remained in fair condition with continued supplemental feeding. Grape growers were pruning and training vines.

A COLLOQUY ON MUSIC WITH D. FELTZ, PHYFE DOUG, AND THICK TEE BONE PART II
TTB: When we last left off, we had just finished watching "My Shot", a number from the groundbreaking musical that has been packing them in on Broadway in unprecedented fashion--Hamilton. What did you think? DF: Creative song I guess. Nothing you can actually sing though. Lots of catchy rhyming or quasi-rhyming. I assume all those guys have wonderful singing voices, but there is nothing in the song that would allow them to demonstrate their vocal talents. They just repeat a rhythmic line for about five minutes with a couple of brief refrains of "I'm not throwin' away my shot". Sometimes it's just a patter song. Not that there's anything wrong with that. PD: Damning with faint praise again? DF: Actually, in some ways I'd like to make a comparison in favor of hip-hop music. The iconic R&B/Soul artist James Brown focused much more on rhythm and verbal energy than on melody. I respected his performances, but with a few notable exceptions his songs were not ones I wanted to play all the time. Those tunes often sacrificed melody for a repetitive and very catchy beat. Below is a very young James Brown with a medley of "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" and "I Feel Good", both monster hits for the "Godfather of Soul".
TTB: Wow! That energy is off the charts. DF: But you can see what I mean here. Minimal melody but electrifying kinetic energy and more than a little posturing. James Brown, of course, carried on the tradition of being "caped" on stage by his backup singers (see below), a tradition that preceded him in the Gospel
scene and followed him in 80s pop. Below is about as minimal a song as one can find, Brown's "Get
Up Offa That Thing" from a recording of The Midnight Special. Check out those dancers! Oh, the 70s!
DF: Like to see Kanye try to rise from a split like that! As you can see, no real melody. Just a repeated line accompanied by a wicked rhythm section and some funky brass. I see this as an obvious predecessor to hip-hop. Most modern R&B has moved to a smoother musical language than found in the works of funkmeisters of the past, but the current star Janelle Monae might be James Brown reborn! The current star could not have existed without the inventiveness of the former star. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnefUaKCbc
TTB: That's the video of her big hit "Tightrope". I saw her perform it at the R&B Soul Sisters concert at the White House recently. That's where she really tried to channel James Brown. DF: Notice there is a brief interlude with hip-hop artist Big Boi, whose rap forms the bridge in the song's construction. You look at the lyrics of the song and they are, shall I say, um, lacking? Here is that bridge: You gotta keep your balance Or you fall into the gap It's a challenge but I manage Cause I'm cautious with the strap Do damage to your cabbage that A doctor cannot patch Why you don't want no friction Like the back of a matchbook Daddy Fat Sax will fold you And your MacBook Close shows, shut you down Before we go-go backwards Act up, and whether we high or low We gonna get back-up Like the Dow Jones and NASDAQ Sorta like a thong in an ass crack Come on
DF: Come on, indeed! But to be honest, I just don't care! (Though the forced rhyme of MacBook to matchbook might be a little too strained for some listeners! And the NASDAQ rhyme? Yikes!) The song is so infectious and the funky bass line so intoxicating. Who can listen to this without a foot tapping?! Speaking of that White House performance, this one is for you TTB:
PD: Hey, let me get a word in edgewise already. I want to talk about a commercial that I saw a while back. It was performed by a hip-hop duo from Philly called Chitty Bang, although I think they have split and only one of the guys constitutes Chitty these days. What do we think about this?
TTB: Hey, it's really catchy. The rhymes are extremely simple but they're pretty close most of the time, right? The melody is also minimal. But it's a catchy riff. Pass the Oreos. AND...a glass of milk! PD: Well, maybe we should see how more sophisticated songs work? DF: Save that for next time.


There are three texts we'll examine this Sunday. The first is 1 Kings 3:5-14. Here, King Solomon prays for Wisdom. In the Jewish tradition, Solomon was the wisest person in all history. In a way, this passage introduces the Wisdom literature of the Bible; many of the proverbs and wisdom writings are attributed to Solomon. The second text is Proverbs 9:1,4-6. The book of Proverbs is a collection of short paragraphs about Wisdom and single verse proverbs (mini-sermons). In my opinion, Proverbs is one of the most underrated books of the Bible. In 9:1,4-6, the writer uses a rhetorical device to "personify" Wisdom. Interesting side note: in Hebrew, the word for "Wisdom," "Chokmah," is a feminine noun, as is "Sophia" in Greek. The New Testament lesson is John 1:1-5, 14a, and 6:51. Here, John associates the Greek philosophical term "Logos" with the Hebrew concept of "Wisdom." In verse 14, John says that the "Word" became flesh and dwelt among us (Jesus). John speaks of Jesus as the personification of "Logos," and in 6:51, we sacramentally take this bread and wine (flesh and blood) into ourselves so that it circulates in our veins. When we grasp (not only with our minds but also with our hearts) the awe and mystery of it all, worship becomes natural. In each moment, our very breath, our very existence, depends of this "Wisdom/Logos." We can no longer take life for granted. The special witness of Christianity is that with prayer and communion, we can develop a personal relationship with the very "Wisdom/Logos" that orchestrates the universe.
An older woman shared about her marriage of over 60 years with joy and told stories of happy times. In answer to the typical question "What was the secret of your long and happy life together?" without hesitation, she said, "We agreed when we were first married to never let the sun go down on our anger." That impressive piece of advice comes from Ephesians 4:26. In the first three chapters of Ephesians, Paul (assuming his authorship) talks about the inner experience (actually, illumination) of Christian unity. In the latter three chapters, Paul illustrates the idea. He shows us what it looks like in various relationships. In the text for Sunday, he talks about ridding our hearts of falsehood and bitterness. He DOES NOT mean that we should never feel anger. He says, "Be angry, but sin not." And, "Do not let the sun go down on your anger." In other words, don't store it; deal with it. Any anger carried over to the next day is soul-poison.


A basement makeover by Arlington Home Interiors keeps the cool factor.
When Suzanne and Mark Manlove put an addition on their Alcova Heights home in 2007, the excavators left a happy byproduct. Underneath their new family room and kitchen was a larger unfinished basement, which Mark quickly claimed as his own. Soon it became a refuge where he and other neighborhood dads could play darts and listen to Mark's extensive record collection.
Directing her husband to look at online resources such as houzz.com for inspiration, she took note of what he liked. In the end, a "modern vintage" style emerged, with accents of zinc metal and reclaimed barn wood.
Now the subterranean zone suits everyone in the family. Mark still has plenty of room for his vinyl collection and stereo components (not to mention the dartboard), and there's ample space for their kids, Sean, 16, and Natalie, 13, to hang with friends from Wakefield High and Thomas Jefferson Middle schools.
Built-ins provide storage for things like outdoor cushions (decommissioned in colder months), bikes and Suzanne's fabric and paint samples.

13 Quirky Destinations for Your Summer Road Trip
By OZY Editors
Because quirk and kitsch and greasy food mean summer.
Whether you're a kid or just a kid at heart, who doesn't love a road trip? The excitement of climbing into the car, ready for adventure, wondering what lies ahead at the end of the road. It could be a glittering beach, a glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous, a kitschy tour attraction past its prime but still delightful. Who knows, it might even be a glorious encounter with nature, perhaps with a Bigfoot sighting.
Here are some ideas for your next road-tripping adventure. Leave your own suggestions in the comments!
Glimpse a Glittering Glass Beach
People come from all over the world to visit the shores of Mendocino County, California. But along with taking in the natural beauty, there's another stop to make: Glass Beach. The garbage on this former dump has been pounded by relentless waves over the decades, and the broken bottles and glass shards have been worn down into little shining glass gems. Now, beautiful colored pebbles intermingle with sand — as well as other eccentric bits of human lives gone by.
The Best Place in the World to Do Nothing
Looking for the most blissful boredom you'll ever experience? Get yourself to Bandon, Oregon, the ethereal coastal city known for a big rock (Etched Rock). It's also known for its Scottish-inspired golf course. But instead of trying to play the notoriously difficult links, take a walk down the vast fairway, with the sprawling ocean along one side, old-growth firs on the other and the late-afternoon sun above. Or stroll for miles along unswimmable beaches, stand still at sunset and watch the reflection in the water change from shades of orange to shades of purple.
Go Inside the World's Largest Elephant
Lucy is 65 feet tall and 60 feet long, and she weighs in at around 90 tons. Her bones are made of steel and her skin of painted tin — she sounds hollow to the knock. And for $8, you can climb inside her belly and visit the museum that lies within. Built in 1881, she's older than the Statue of Liberty — and America's oldest surviving roadside attraction. Worth the drive to Margate, just outside Atlantic City? We think so!
See an Island Frozen in Time, Awash in Fudge
Sometimes escapism smells like horse shit; sometimes fudge. When you get off the ferry at Mackinac Island (pronounced MACK-ih-naw), your nose will treat you to a rather odd mixture of the two. But don't let that stop you. You'll find plenty of other things to distract you on this majestic island near Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Like enjoying a moonlit carriage ride, taking an eight-mile pedal around the island's perimeter or just ambling on foot between the fudge shops lining Main Street.
See Some Really Big Trees, Maybe Sasquatch
When you drive off the freeway and enter Humboldt Redwoods State Park, you'll be gobsmacked by the view. Here you'll find giant redwood trees — the biggest in the world — towering above. We're talking 250 feet high. This is the Avenue of the Giants: a 30-plus-mile scenic highway splitting the Northern California redwood forest, with eight stops along the park road, many with fishing and swimming holes. You can also camp, hike and look for Bigfoot, who is rumored to have made appearances in the area.
The Most Surprising Place to Do an Art Crawl
Want to see some really great art? Forget New York City and head … upstate. Yes, Upstate New York might be far from the hip urban sprawl of the megacity beneath it, but there's a lot to see there. Ithaca simply oozes artiness, and Hudson is packed with galleries (and antique shops, of course). Or take in the bizarre portrait exhibition at Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery, among other offerings. No wonder the National Center for Arts Research recently named four upstate cities to its annual arts vibrancy index.
Winter White House Watching in Palm Beach
Palm Beach. Already a playground for the rich and famous, it is home to one object of everyone's fascination, of course: Mar-a-Lago, dubbed the Winter White House. If you want to take a little presidential tour, start the day by visiting the gardens that are fit for a (first) lady in nearby Delray Beach, check out the former Kennedy Winter White House on North Ocean Boulevard and visit JFK's Cold War bunker on Peanut Island. Then have a glimpse of the pleasures — and purple-flowered hedges — your tax dollars can bring at Mar-a-Lago. Still, it's a really lovely drive — like when your working-class parents used to take you to gawk at the rich-person neighborhood down the street. Only this neighborhood is built of Spanish-style architecture wrapped in all the haute of a Roman villa.
Check Out America's Most Beautiful Neighborhood
You may think you've been to America's prettiest cities, but unless you've traveled to this East Coast neighborhood, you haven't. With its impeccably charming mini courtyards, delightfully narrow streets and glorious brickwork homes with identical white-trim window frames and jet-black wooden shutters, Boston's Beacon Hill is the definition of pretty. All around is lush red brick, catching the light, glowing in different ways at different times of day. It's even been named one of the best neighborhoods in the country for trick-or-treating. So, what are you waiting for?
More Places to Drive to
Maybe get rich: Hanging in Del Mar is a lifestyle — a celebration that life is good, the sun is out and maybe you'll hit an exacta to pay the rent.
Or maybe get camp: Have some underground fun at one of these guilty pleasures of San Francisco.
Stay in the trees: An exotic treehouse in Georgia lets you sleep beneath the stars, nestled in leafiness.
Eat great greasy food: See how diner eating has evolved in New Jersey, the diner capital of America.
Get away from people: The Salish Sea in Washington state has 172 of the most isolated islands in America (once you drive there, you'll need to take a ferry or floatplane).

Finding out what materials are available, what technical knowledge they have and what kind of tools they use. In general they are less developed as the western world and have limited tools and materials available.However labor is much cheaper, this makes them use tools in a very different way and they are extremely good in reusing materials. Taking old broken products apart and sell the spare parts again, creating a huge market of universal components you can buy. –Specially from the automotive industry. It is very inspiring to see them at work and learn about their creative solutions.
You can find local shops for buying spare parts all over Ghana.
Lots of old car parts are being sold.
One of the very many shops with a specific collection, chains.
The automotive industry is great start if you are looking for universal products available all over the world.
We got really excited when we found these machines, made to press juice out fruits. Work-wise its very similar to an extrusion machine. This model is build and developed locally, we are using the same bearings and metal strips. Which is good. –it means they have the tools and materials to rebuild our machines. However we haven't thought about powering it with a diesel motor like that, could be worth trying.
