Albino Redwoods Point to Resiliency Within The Species
Redwood enthusiasts who are lucky enough to know where these elusive albino redwoods reside have discovered that some of these peculiar trees tend to dieback and regrow in cyclical patterns. Some basal albino redwoods exhibit large amounts of leaf litter accumulation while others show very little accumulation. As if the albino redwood mystery wasn't complex enough, some experts have suggested that this dieback & regrowth pattern occurs because the mutations are easily prone to environmental stresses. Specifically: heat, cold, and drought conditions appear to play a role in albino redwood mortality. Research at UC Santa Cruz has shown that albino redwoods do indeed transpire at much higher rates in summer compared to their green counterparts as seen here in this paper: The water relations and xylem attributes of albino redwood shoots These discoveries have led experts to speculate that albino redwoods overall may have inefficient stomatal control leading to excessive moisture loss and death within their needles. Stomata are pores on plant leaves that help regulate transpiration and water loss. In normal green redwoods, cool humid conditions will prompt stomata pores to open allowing for a greater surface area for transpiration to occur. Conversely in warm weather accompanied by low humidity, stomata will close down to conserve water. The situation for albino redwoods is more problematic and appears to run counter to the normal function of the plant. In hot weather, if albino redwood stomatal cells don't closedown enough to limit moisture loss, the foliage will cavitate, wilt, and die. On the other hand, if temperature and humidity levels are ideal, but there isn't a sufficient amount of sugars readily available from the parent tree, the mutation will dieback due to deprivation. This is a catch 22 situation that albino redwoods must face on a daily basis. Even when surviving in this precarious state, it's not known if reliance on high transpiration rates is definitive reason why there's a tendency to see dieback on these trees. While it's generally understood that all redwoods (whether albino or not) will experience some form of die back under extreme moisture stress, it's not known if the parent redwood is sacrificing the mutation at the expense of water or energy conservation.
Additionally, other seasonal factors like excessive heat, & freezing temperatures have led to further assumptions that albino redwoods may not have adequate coping mechanisms for extreme weather conditions.

Notice how the albino redwood almost appears dead in 2012, only to return to a more vigorous state in 2018. Some may attribute this to the drought that was experienced between 2011-2016. If this is true, why do surrounding green shoots appear unaffected in both the 2012 & 2018 pictures?
If these reasons aren't enough to show albino redwoods are at a real disadvantage, other factors such as fungal pathogens, insect damage, vandalism, and animal browsing can further add to the demise of these trees. Sudden oak death which has made headlines in the last couple decades produces minor dieback on both green and white foliage. Various insects such as thrips and mites which are common in redwood forests attack redwood needles and discolor foliage. Vistors at times take albino foliage as souvenirs also adding to further losses. Deer which have been known at times to rub their antlers on young trees during the fall rut also contribute to additional damage. The culmination of these external causes doesn't appear to add up to a cyclical pattern of dieback seen in albino redwoods, but can further contribute to their destruction.
With the culmination of the above, albino redwoods are indeed in a precarious position and must find a balance to survive. These disadvantages alone, make researchers question how these anomalies of nature can survive in an environment where the deck seems stacked against them. But are albino redwoods truly fragile mutations or robust warriors? Some may indeed exhibit poor stomatal control, but are they really at the mercy of the weather or is there another factor at play pointing to albino redwood mortality? What advantages do healthy appearing albino redwoods have over their counterparts and what can their life cycles tell us about the overall health of the redwood forests? These questions may seem daunting as if one was to begin tackling a 10,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. It seems current research is only now starting to place together the outer edges of the mystery.

In order to start putting the pieces into place, several key questions needed to be asked and formed into a hypothesis.
Are albino redwoods fragile due physiological, ecological, or environmental causes?
A) Are climate factors contributing to albino redwood dieback or longevity?
B) Does temperature variation effect stomatal control?
C) Can albino redwoods endure weather extremes?
D) What implications will these results have on the species?
Because naturally occurring albino redwoods in the wild are very rare, studying a various group of trees in the natural setting was deemed impractical for logistical & ecological reasons. The concern was to conduct a study which would yield the best possible answers, yet not leave the human footprint within the forest. In order to achieve this, a group of 25 propagated chimeric albino redwoods were selected & planted a test plot within the Central Sierra spring of 2017. Ten trees were initially planted in the ground with the remaining planted out over the course of summer. Trees selected for the study exhibited traits that were morphologically very similar to albino redwoods in the wild and ranged from 3-8' in height. Both the wild & planted albino redwoods exhibit sectors that had mutated foliage supported by healthy green foliage. Observing the growth patterns with propagated albino chimeric redwoods allowed researchers the opportunity to see daily changes in a controlled setting that otherwise wouldn't be possible with albino redwoods in the wild. Various chimeric albino redwoods from different parts of the natural range were selected for the study to gain a wider genetic sampling on how these chlorophyll deficient mutations would respond.

The location chosen for the test plot was well removed from the native range of Coast Redwoods by more than 100 miles. The site was situated in a lower montane forest at an elevation of approximately 3500' elevation. The test plot's climate fell within USDA hardiness zone 9a which exhibits average winter low temps between 20 to 25°F. At this elevation, snow is frequent in winter adding additional element of stress to the trees that otherwise would not be seen regularly in the natural range. Summers exhibit hot conditions with temperatures frequently running from the low 90's to the low 100's°F. Additionally, humidity ranged only between 13-60% during the summer months. Some might consider this a hostile environment well beyond the scope of what would be seen in the natural setting. Because of these climate extremes, all trees were given supplemental irrigation during the summer months so as not to induce water stress. The experiment was looking for stomata control in relation to heat & cold tolerance in albino redwoods & not the test subjects' ability to withstand drought stress.
During the summer of 2017, all subjects were exposed to temperatures of over 100°F. Daily temperature fluctuations averaged between 68-93°F per day and did not exceed a temperature swing more than 30°F in a single day. By late fall of that year, remarkably only 5% of the albino foliage from the 2017 growth season exhibited some form of dieback. A modest 20% of dieback occurred on albino foliage that was two seasons or older.
Tree #14 originating from Santa Cruz County endures the full afternoon sun on July 29th 2017. A nearby weather station recorded the daily high temperature at 98°F . Note how a majority of the albino foliage appears healthy despite the intense heat. The all-time high for the year was recorded a month later on August 28th, 2017 at 104°F.
Picture taken after the trees were planted on Nov 3rd, 2017. Notice how little albino foliage has died back on tree #14 during the summer months despite days of temperatures over 100°F.
As winter approached, it was not known if the albino foliage would be as resilient to cold weather as it had with coping in the summer heat. February daily winter temperatures averaged between 55°F -35°F per day with humidity ranging between 35% & 85%. As with the summer results, the albino foliage on 90% of the test subjects exhibited cold tolerant characteristics unseen before in albino redwoods.
In the dead of winter, albino foliage appears mangy on Tree #14 but is otherwise healthy under the snow. Picture taken February 21st, 2018. Two days later on the 23rd the lowest temperature of the year was recorded at 18.7°F.
Tree #8 originating from Sonoma County shows the contrast of albino & green foliage in the snow. At times, these trees were covered in over a foot of snow during the winter 2017/2018. Picture taken February 18th 2018.
The following spring, albino foliage on tree #14 survived remarkably well over winter with minimal dieback. Picture taken in April 1st, 2018.

A closeup of Tree #8 April 2018 exhibiting albino redwood foliage after surviving the winter of 2017 & 2018. Like tree #14, albino foliage shows almost no dieback after winter.
By spring of 2018, only 10% of year old albino foliage exhibited some form of dieback from either heat or cold stresses on all test subjects. A more modest 30% dieback occurred on albino foliage that was at least two seasons or older.
If the weather environment at the Sierra test pot site exhibited temperature extremes higher and lower than what's normally seen in the natural range, then why did these test subjects perform remarkably well during the heat of summer and cold of winter compared to their wild counterparts? One would assume that more needle dieback on the Sierra test subjects should have been seen compared to the natural occurring albino redwoods along the coast. Another could argue that the test plot trees were given ample irrigation compared to the albino redwoods in the natural range which relies solely on fog drip and ground water. If this truly was an unfair advantage, then why does normal green foliage on the parent trees to albino redwoods appear healthy when albino foliage started to dieback? The answer appears to indicate that redwoods may not exclusively be dependent on how much water is readily available, but how they respond & adapt to rapidly changing weather patterns.
To test the hypothesis that rapidly changing weather patterns is influencing albino redwood dieback, a comparison was made between the weather patterns at the Sierra test plot site to two locations within the natural redwood range. Specifically, the weather patterns at Guerneville in Sonoma County and Felton in Santa Cruz County were used in the study. The hottest three consecutive days in July 2017 were plotted and compared at all three sites.
Data curtesy of Weather Underground.
What's remarkable was the huge 24-hour variation in temperature and humidity reported by the Guerneville and Felton weather stations compared to the Sierra site. The trees within the Sierra test plot rarely experienced temperature shifts greater than 30°F per day and humidity changes of 33%. In contrast, the Guerneville and Felton sites exibited temperature shifts greater than 51 degrees °F in a single day, accompanied by humidity swings exceeding 90% according to Weather Underground data. Cool on shore winds carrying low temperatures and high humidity during summer can quickly reverse to an off-shore weather pattern bringing low humidity and hot dry winds within a matter of hours. This yoyo weather effect induces stress on the native trees that otherwise would not be as pronounced in California's interior. It's plausible that in some individuals, the stomata within natural albino redwoods becomes overwhelmed in these conditions, leading to higher transpiration rates, cavitation, and eventual dieback. In comparison, the relatively dry Sierra Nevada test site provided a more stable temperature and humidity environment allowing for more efficient stomatal control in coast redwood albino chimeras.
A second temperature & humidity comparison was made for winter 2018 between the Sierra test plot site and the Guerneville & Felton locations. The coldest three consecutive days in February were plotted and compared at all three sites.
The winter trend lines for temperature and humidity appeared to follow a little more closely between all three sites compared to summer. Temperature fluctuations were less severe averaging a modest 32 degree °F swing at the Sierra site, 20 degree °F swing at Guerneville, & 21-degree °F swing at Felton. As expected, the Sierra site exhibited lower temperatures and humidity levels compared to the coastal locations. The humidity results showed a reversal in winter between the Sierra and coastal locations. The Sierra site showed the largest humidity swing of approximately 71% when compared to Guerneville's 64%, & Felton's 58% respectively. It's speculated that the winter dormancy period combined with a lower variation of temperature and humidity may help preserve albino redwood foliage.
Stepping back and looking at the history of the Felton and Guerneville sites before the old growth forests were removed; temperature and humidity changes most likely were more moderate during times of hot and cold weather periods compared to today. The dense stands of trees acted as a temperature and humidity buffer when rapidly changing weather patterns descended upon the forests. Because of these insulating properties, the trees created their own protective weather bubble by limiting moisture loss which is not seen at these sites today. Without the support of large tree stands, it's assumed that the genetics of these individuals may not be as adaptive or tolerant to rapidly changing weather conditions as redwoods growing in more interior locations. Field observations have shown that albino redwoods growing in the natural range which exhibit fewer signs of cyclical dieback are most likely to be found growing in isolated interior groves. These trees are far more likely to be subject to weather extremes than their coastal brothers. These redwoods exhibit better stomatal control than trees near the coast & may be better adapted to coping with rapidly changing weather environments. In the broader sense, these implications may have a larger impact for the redwoods species as scientists delve into the questions of climate change. The answer may not lie with redwoods just adapting to new climates, but one that offers adequate moisture and a minimal shift in daily temperature & humidly variations. Redwood trees that can withstand large temperature and humidity shifts may be better suited to planting in new environments.
The Amador Sentinel growing high above the banks of the Mokelumne River & Highway 49 is a normal green coast redwood located in the Sierra foothills. The tree is situated on a dry south facing slope surrounded by grasslands. How this tree survives hot scorching summers may be in its ability to conserve water through strong stomatal control and adaptation to an environment that favors lower variation in temperature & humidity.
Can you spot the redwoods growing in this picture? Believe it or not, these coast redwoods are thriving amongst Ponderosa, Gray, & Knob Cone Pines which are species specifically adapted to drier environments. The trees are growing in an isolated interior grove within Pope Valley in Napa County. These redwoods endure colder winters, hotter summers, and drier conditions compared to trees near the coast. What's remarkable is these redwoods have adapted to survive in this difficult environment.
In conclusion, the foliage in albino redwoods has shown remarkable resiliency to survive the harsh weather extremes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The results were quite astonishing for a mutation that once was considered quite fragile. This study demonstrated that albino redwood foliage does have adequate stomata control within a certain temperature & humidity band. It also shows that albino foliage does have the ability to adapt to weather extremes so long as the changes are gradual. Looking at the species as a whole, the key to redwood endurance may not hinge on a gradually warming climate, but an environment that lends itself to where trees can readily adjust to rapidly changing weather conditions. Whether the climate is hot or cold, it appears an environment which offers a lower variation of temperature & humidity may favor long term survival for coast redwoods. The implications of these results may lend to normal green redwoods being genetically selected for more efficient water conservation qualities. This in turn could lead to trees that are better adapted to shifting weather patterns and drier conditions as the species faces the challenges of climate change. Individuals that exhibit robust stomatal control may be key in preserving the species into the new millennium.

The game was developed by the studio NetherRealm Studios and was published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It became available on the above platforms on May 16 2017. 1 2 The version for Windows will be released on November 14 2017. Also an open beta test of the game on Steam was announced.
The introduction of the game takes place on Krypton in his last days the planet was attacked by Breyniak an alien collector from the planet Kola. Digitizing the largest cities of Krypton - Kandor and Argo City - together with their inhabitants Breyniak leaves Krypton eventually blowing up beta bombs that split the crust of the planet. Kara Zor-El who witnessed Brainiak's actions rushes home where her mother meets her. She tells her daughter that Krypton is about to explode but for Kara herself and her one-year-old cousin Kal-El there is still a chance to escape - his parents discovered a planet fit for life in a distant star system. Kara escapes from Krypton on the shuttle becoming an unwitting witness to the death of the mother at the hands of the cyborgs Breinik. When her and Kal-El space shuttles find themselves in space Krypton explodes causing Kara's shuttle to deviate from the course and she kneads with her cousin.
Five years after the defeat of Superman Batman and his allies are trying to maintain order on the planet by launching the "Brother's Eye" system of mass supervision. However while the fugitive supporters of the regime are hiding in the underground the Community - a group of villains headed by Gorilla Grodod regardless of Resistance and Regime claims about its existence. On the advice of Lucius Fox Batman begins to collect his own team of trusted heroes to fight the Community which is preparing for an unknown terrorist act. Together with his right hand - Harley Quinn - Batman sends the Green Arrow (Oliver Quinn's double from the 3rd dimension) and the Black Canary in Gorilla City to capture Grodda. However the operation is disrupted by Dr. Faith who is trying to warn the characters about the impending threat to the planet. After the victory over Groddom the Canaryka and Strel are abducted by Brainiak who turned out to be the true leader of the Community. Brainiac claims to have learned about the Earth as a "planet with the last Kryptonian" after the combined forces of the Regime and the Cinestro broke the Green Lantern Corps (comic book events). Earlier having obtained Kandor as a model of Krypton he became interested in adding Earth to his collection.
The final chapter has two finals - depending on the side that the player chooses. Victory of Resistance Batman defeats Superman and depriving him of his strength with the help of golden kryptonite drives him to the Phantom Zone. Deciding to use Lucius's advice he decides to reorganize the Justice League - and first of all offers Kare membership in it. Mode victory Superman defeats Batman. After killing Brainiak he connects to the vessel and regains the Mode. The prisoner of Supergirl Kal El offers a choice to join the regime voluntarily or following the example of Batman through forced brainwashing.

The Economist Says Turkey Nears Dictatorship, Threat to Greece, Cyprus
By The National Herald
ATHENS – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken his country to the "brink of disaster" and could become an all-out dictator as he fears being topped from power in elections coming in May, said the newspaper The Economist.
It warned that weakness by United States President Joe Biden, the European Union and NATO has only emboldened Erdogan to become even more autocratic after a 2016 purge of civil society, the military, courts and education systems after a failed 2016 coup attempt against him.
And the report pointed to the dangers to Greece – Erdogan has repeatedly warned of an invasion unless Greece takes troops off Aegean islands near Turkey's coast – and to Cyprus, where Turkey is drilling for oil and gas offshore.
Erdogan could cause trouble for Greece and Cyprus by "foment (ing) fiercer territorial quarrels, the report noted, Turkey and Turkish-Cypriots setting aside any idea of reunification talks for Cyprus and insisting the world accept the occupied northern third of the island.
"Erdogan's behaviour as the election approaches could push what is today a deeply flawed democracy over the edge into a full-blown dictatorship," as he has moved to lock out challengers, notably the Mayor of Istanbul whom a court ordered jailed for calling election officials who annulled his first mayoral victory "idiots."
As he nears a third decade of ruling, Erdogan has become more volatile and aggressive, using the threat of vetoing the accession hopes of Finland and Sweden to NATO get Biden to push the US Congress to sell Turkey more F-16's that could be used against Greece, and upgrade Turkey's Air Force.
"He sits in a vast palace snapping orders at courtiers too frightened to tell him when he is wrong. His increasingly eccentric beliefs swiftly become public policy," the article said, although opposition is rising among the populace.
REAL BULLY PULPIT
"Erdogan is a bully who sees timidity as a reason to press his advantage and toughness as an incentive to mend fences," the report added, with evidence it has worked to get the EU to back off sanctions for provocations against Greece.
The report said he has slid into a hard-line authoritarian rule after initially making some gains through reforms that initially boosted the economy, but that his idiosyncratic behavior has intimidated economist in the central bank and brought 64 percent inflation.
Turkey began membership talks with the EU in 2005 but now, 18 years later, the prospect is eluding him as journalists are being jailed and dissidents hunted down in exile, the West reluctant to take him on because of the the country's geopolitical position and having the second-largest military among NATO members, which includes Greece.
There's worry that if pushed too far he will again try to flood the EU – largely through Greece – with waves of refugees and migrants, Turkey holding some 4.4 million of them who had gone there fleeing war, strife and economic hardship in their homelands, mainly Syria and Afghanistan.
"He has steadily co-opted institutions and eroded checks and balances. He has turned much of the media into a tool of state propaganda. He has, in effect, censored the Internet. He has thrown many critics, including opposition leaders, into jail," said the paper.
"Under him, elections have seldom been completely fair, but they have been broadly free, with large numbers of voters taking part. The worry this time is that, with … Erdogan fearing defeat, he alights and ensures that the elections are neither fair nor free," the report said.

Twitter is struggling to grow its user base, increase ad revenue, and innovate new products. Here are three things that can help the platform thrive.
Companies need to evolve failed tactics to profitable customer strategies and relationships by creating impactful customer intelligence from big data.


Chilli is an important vegetable and spice in every Indian cuisine and is grown throughout the country. Pungent forms are used as green chilli, whole dry chilli, chilli powder, chilli paste, chilli sauce, chilli oleoresin or as mixed curry power. Dried fruits are extensively used in spice.
Soil should be prepared to a fine tilth by 2-3 ploughings. FYM should be incorporated in soil at the time of final ploughing. Ridges and furrow are prepared at 45-60cm distance. Seedlings are transplanted in levelled land in plots of convenient size for irrigation.
1.0-1.5kg seeds sown in an area of three cents is required to raise seedlings to plant in one hectare. Generally 40-45 days old seedlings are transplanted. Clipping of capsicum and chilli seedlings about 10 days prior to transplanting helps to accelerate growth of axillary buds and results in better branching.
This crop (both hot and sweet pepper) was first introduced by Portuguese to India more particularly to Goa. Presently, there are three basic types of chillies viz., Tarvatti, Lovongi and Portugali based on its place of cultivation, usage, pungency etc., in Goa. Among these, Portugali has become almost extinct because of several factors. The Tarvatti type is alone available as it is perennial type and its seeds are disseminated through birds.
Arka Meghana: High yielding F1 hybrid produces long fruits (10cm). Early variety produces 50% flowering in 25 days after transplanting.
Pusa Jwala: Yield 7.5t/ha of green chilli. Plants dwarf and bushy. Fruits 9-10cm long, curved, thin, light green coloured and medium pungent. Tolerant to mosaic.
Application of 20tonnes of FYM and 120kg N, 40-60kg P2O5 and 20-40kg K2O are recommended in majority of states. FYM is applied by broadcasting at the time of final ploughing. Spot application of FYM in furrows or at the point of planting is also followed by farmers. Full dose of P and K and half dose of N is applied 10-15 days after transplanting.
Timely irrigation is essential especially for fruit set and development. The irrigation is required at every third /4th day during summer while in winter, it should be 7-8 days interval. For row planted crop, drip irrigation is advantageous and fertilizer can be supplied through drip irrigation.
In chilli, all intercultural operations are aimed at conserving soil moisture, to remove weeds and to provide aeration to soil. Inter cultivation, by way of hoeing, begins as soon as seedlings are established. In initial stages, shallow inter cultivation is done to remove weeds and for conservation of soil moisture. In later stages, deep inter cultivation is done by way of earthing up and making ridges and furrow. Use of herbicides along with hand weeding is practiced for weed control in chilli.
Dieback and anthracnose: Disease is caused by a soil borne pathogen, Colletotrichum capsicii. Initially small water soaked spots appear on fruits which later become sunken and dark in colour with numerous concentric rings. Affected fruits rot and fall down. Spraying of Dithane M-45 or Bavistin (1.5g/l) of water at 15-20 days interval is effective.
The disease occurs in die back and ripe fruit rot phases. Die back phase: The chief symptom is the necrosis of tender twigs from the tip downwards. The entire plant or branch may wither away. The twigs become straw coloured in advanced stage of the disease. Large numbers of black dots (acervuli of the fungus) are seen scattered all over the necrotic parts of the plants. Only the top or side branches may be killed or sometimes in case of severe attack the entire plant may be withered. The fungus may also attack the fruit stalk and spread along the stem.
Ripe fruit rot phase: Small, black, circular spots appear on the skin of the fruit and spread in the direction of the long axis of the fruit. The spots are sunken with black margins. The sunken spots are covered with a pinkish mass of fungal spores. as the disease progresses, the spots spread, forming a concentric markings with dark fructification (acervuli of the fungus). The fruits with many spots drop off prematurely resulting in the heavy loss of yield. Hen the diseased fruit is cut open the lower surfaces of skin is found covered with minute, elevated , spherical, black stromatic masses of the fungus. In advanced stages, the seeds are covered with a mat of fungal hypae. Such seeds turn rusty in colour.
The fungus is externally seed borne and the secondary spread occurs through air borne conidia. The fungus may survive on dead twigs stored under dry condition.The fungus also survives in the field in plant debris.
Procure seeds from the healthly, spotless fruits.Treat seeds with Thiram, Brassicol @ 2g/kg seed or Belnbate /Bav\istin/ Agrosan GN @ 1g/kg seed before sowing.Spray Blitox 50 or Fytolan @2.5g/litre water or Perenox @2g/litre of water after appearance of the disease. Repeat spraying at 10-15 days interval.Plant debris after harvest should be collected and burnt.Grow resistant varieties whenever available.
The characteristic white powdery growth appears on the leaves of the terminal shoots.
Spray the crop with Karathane (Dinocap) @0.05% or wettable sulphur (Thioit) @ 0.23% at 15 interval ( Gohokar and Peshney, 1981).Aureofungin @50ppm also gives good control of the disease.
Abaxial and adaxial curling of the leaves accompanied by puckering and blistering of intervienal areas and thickening and swelling of the veins. In advanced stages, maxillary buds are simulated to produce clusters of leaves which are reduced in size. The whole plant assumes bushy appearance with stunted growth.Flowers and fruits are few and small, being curled at the end.The virus has a wide host range. However, important ones are tobacco, bell pepper and several weed hosts.
Rouging of infected plants from the field.Removal of all the weeds from and around the field.Soil application of carbofuran at 1.5kg a.i./ha in the nursery and at the time of transplanting followed by 2-3 sprays of dimethoate or monocrotophos both at 0.05% at 10 days interval prevent whitefly multiplication and spread of disease.
The disease occurs in scattered plants or groups of plants in the field.Characteristic feature is wilting of the entire plant with no leaf yellowing.Cross sections cut from root and lower stems of the diseased plant exude milky streams of bacteria from the vascular system when suspended in wa5ter.The bacteria have a wide host range and can survive in soil for long periods.The disease is favoured by wet, warm conditions.
Chilli cvs. Kandhari, Pungent pride, Cherry red, Vattal, Dark purple, Long red and Pant C-1 were reported resistant.Manjari and Ujwala developed by Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikara, are also highly resistant to bacterial wilt.
Chilli and capsicum respond well to an array of plant growth regulators. GA (10-100 ppm), NAA (20-200 ppm) and CCC (1000 ppm) were effective for increasing fruit set and yield.

Review: 'Carpe Mortis: You Only Live Once', by Graveyard Greg
Posted by Fred on Wed 28 May 2014 - 16:55
The first 26 pages of this novella and the next ten or so establish the slice-of-life daily routines of the cast of buddies: Ted the hyena, his foster brother Reggie (who prefers to be called Venti) the nine-foot-tall black jackal, Regis the zebra and his teen brother Lee, Kevin the tiger, and Art the lion. Most of them are gay, but that's only incidental in this novella; it isn't erotically heavy. The zombie plague doesn't get serious until around page 40.
The main characters are Regis and Lee the zebras, Ted the hyena, and new characters that are introduced on the way. Some of the buddies make it. Some succumb to the zombie plague, or are eaten by the zombies. Some go to rescue their friends, without knowing if they are already too late.

Cat of the Living Dead
Posted by Mink on Fri 6 Dec 2013 - 22:02
This probably would have made more sense back around Halloween, but… Pick your own horror adventure: On four paws! "Inspired by the gamebook fad of the 80′s, You Are a Cat in the Zombie Apocalypse! is the much-anticipated sequel to the first book in the Pick-a-Plot series, You Are a Cat! Lavishly illustrated from the first-person feline floor purrspective, the furightening and appawling You Are a Cat in the Zombie Apocalypse! is a horror tail that will stalk you, surround you and eat you alive." This very strange black & white paperback graphic novel — where you choose on each page which horrible experience you have next — is available now on Amazon. It's written and illustrated by Sherwin Tija, and published by Conundrum Press.

Indie Animation Looking for Help
Posted by Mink on Tue 7 May 2013 - 16:19
Jerry Beck's Animation Scoop has an interesting article about a pair of independent animation projects in the works — both of which just happen to be very furry. First up is Ghost of a Tale, a new video game designed by Lionel "Seith" Gallat. Lionel has worked as a supervising animator at Dreamworks on movies like The Prince Of Egypt, The Road to Eldorado, Spirit, Sinbad, SharkTale, and others. More recently he's been a director for Illumination on films like Despicable Me and The Lorax. Ghost of a Tale follows the adventures of a medieval mouse battling rat zombies on a mysterious island. In a very different vein is Dogonauts by Shel and Justin Rasch. "Mortal enemies, a Dogonaut Pilot and a Space Flea, shoot each other down only to awake, marooned side by side on an alien desert planet." Justin is a stop-motion animator known for films like Paranorman. He and his wife Shel completed Dogonauts in their garage, all the while both of them working full-time jobs. Both of these projects are seeking crowdfunding help to move from their current levels of production up to the next, and hopefully get them out into the world. The Scoop article features trailers as well as the official pitches for each of these projects. Check 'em out.
Shut Up and Watch These!
Posted by Mink on Mon 9 Jul 2012 - 01:47
Shut Up Cartoons is a YouTube channel of original animated series put together by the Smosh Channel, which claims to be the third largest Channel on YouTube. In amongst titles like Oishi High School Battle and Zombies vs. Ninja are a couple of shows that furry fans might want to take notice of. Krogzilla is one of the newest. "Born as an unknown mutation of aquatic lizard, Krogzilla was a 200-foot tall fire-breathing sea monster that terrorized coastal cities all over the world, until a team of scientists defeated him by shrinking. Now reduced to only six feet in height, Krogzilla has to figure out how to become a functioning member of society. First thing Krog needs to do is find a job". The series updates every Thursday, and you can find it on YouTube here. While you're there you might also want to check out the preview trailer for Weasel Town, which premiers next week.

Brave Pets vs. the Undead
Posted by Mink on Mon 20 Feb 2012 - 02:46
Who says there aren't any original ideas anymore? Even if they involve combining other ideas, still: "In the wake of a zombie apocalypse, a small band of animals, led by a hyper-intelligent Golden Retriever named Rex, and accompanied by a baseball bat-wielding gorilla, begin their cross-country journey in the hope of finding safety…and a home." It's Rex: Zombie Killer, a brand new double-thick one-shot comic book that's coming soon from Big Dog Ink. Written by Rob Anderson and illustrated in full color by Dafu Yu, it's scheduled for release (escape?) in early April. Check out the Rex: Zombie Killer web site to meet all the characters and find out more about the comic.

If you had asked me to name a comic book that would use the word 'ratiocination', I would not have picked Scooby-Doo. Nor would I have thought there would be so many zombies in one Previews. Surely this craze is past its sell-by date? No teenage zombie ninja turtles so far, though.
And Radio Comix is back! But will they stay? Also Flight #7 and some new titles.

Castlewoods creates music with high intensity and a sense of presence, music that goes from being dreamy and playful to powerful and sobering. With Nordic pop and an Americanabackdrop, the band paints a fairytale landscape, lyrically and musically.
The band is fronted by Sofia Mono Assarson and Maja Fredriksson, who met during a rehearsal for a tour with a reggae band. The name of the band hints at Gothenburg patriotism, and the band was formed in a cottage in Slottsskogen (Castlewoods), a forest in Gothenburg, where Castlewoods' winding melodies and distinctive voice emerged. The percussionist Johanna Lannerö completes the group.
Castlewoods is a passionate indie folk band imbued with never-ending energy, love, and a desire to express itself through music. In the band's back pocket are a large number of live gigs, a collaboration with José Gonzáles and a recorded album that was released in april 2017.

RAVENNA, Ohio — A Ravenna senior living home is asking for birthday cards for a local man and former Tuskegee Airman who will soon turn 102 years old, according to our News 5 media partner at Ohio.com.
Asa Newman grew up in Cleveland and attended East Cleveland High School. After World War II, he moved to Chicago and attended college at Roosevelt University. In 2015, he moved to Aurora, according to Home Instead Executive Director of Community Relations Paula Baughman.
Baughman said Newman was honored to serve the country, so any words of encouragement about serving the country on his birthday cards would be appreciated.
The Tuskegee Airmen was the first African American unit to fly combat airplanes in World War II.
He was one of seven children, with three brothers and three sisters. He is the last survivor of his immediate family. His niece, Rae Ellen, lives locally.
He will celebrate his 102nd birthday with a parade filled with fire trucks, police cars and more later this month. Newman will also be presented with a proclamation from the Portage County Commissioner as well as the box of 102 birthday cards.
Those interested in writing a letter to an American hero and helping celebrate his birthday should send the cards to the following address:
Home Instead, c/o 102 Birthday, 705 Oakwood St., Suite 107 Ravenna, OH 44266
Cards are asked to be sent no later than Monday.

On Wednesday, October 1, 2014 I headed downtown for yet another great brewery tap takeover event at Blind Tiger Ale House this time featuring Victory Brewing Company and 17 of its beers on tap. While there I had the chance to step outside with Victory's brewmaster and co-founder Bill Covaleski to chat about the recent expansions of his company (new Parkesburg brewery), his experiences with Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp Across America, and his views on the current growth of craft beer in the US (full list of topics covered below). Enjoy and Cheers!
Note: While I did record separate audio for this interview, my recorder (old mp3 player) ran out of memory space a few minutes into the interview and I was therefore unable to edit together a podcast version of it.
Victory's new Parkesburg, PA brewery and its modern / innovative brewhouse.
How brewing is split between there and Downingtown.
Limited release beers being brewed in Downingtown – D'Town and Hop Ticket series.
Increased capacity brings old beers back and popular beers into the market more regularly.
Victory's barrel program – past and upcoming beers. E.g. White Monkey and their upcoming release of Earth and Flame, a barrel aged scotch ale brewed in collaboration with Earth Bread & Brewery.
Bill / Victory's experiences being one of the 12 breweries chosen for Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp Across America 12 collaboration beers.
The current growth of craft beer in the US.
What's coming up for Victory Brewing Company.
Where you can find Victory beers.
Please see my previous post for my thoughts on the beers that I tried at this event.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Boss Arthur Apts was?
Arthur Boss has some really nice apartments to rent when he has them. They are always rented but when they do come available it is well worth the money to rent from them. They are very clean and well kept.
If you've been to or used Boss Arthur Apts, leave a review.


Everybody Steps on each other toes.. Managers are lazy, expect the worker to do the job only. Horrible pay, no incentive to work harder, everyone's gets same raise every year. The managers are the one getting appreciated while the bottom working hard. Very old time minded company. The supervisor are just very uneducated, unprofessional, and completely worthless.
Only people who writes good thing about this company are the ones who are probably forced to write it by their managers. The benefits are not that great as they make it sound. If you plan on getting job here, then at least ask for double the pay rate bcz they will make you work you work hard. Apply only for manager post bcz they are not expected to do anything, just to walk around and wait for the shift to be over.
Very fast paced and can be tiresome. Working there was good in the beginning but policies are very strict in regards to cash handling. Must stand for whole shift. You are NOT allowed to have phone on you. If anyone needs to contact you it MUST be through the store phone. Demeaning place for work.
So far this is the worst company Where I worked, They are mean and disrespectful With their employees!!!! They keeping pay me under the minimum Wage even if the state raise it!!! Legacy Company that Refuses to Grow. She asked me what were the real benefits of it apart from the personal satisfaction of getting a good job done. I really didn't know what to answer, so I just decided to ask some questions newbie in the forum here: Badge-wise, soon reaching Restaurant level expert 18, does it stop at 20 or it goes on forever?
What does it take to get some? Do you guys consider overall number of reviews, maybe helpful votes? Any other way of using my TripCollective points, maybe booking hotels from TA engine? Points-wise, I see that I have reached Contributor level 6, and that is the limit The points we accrue have no value, the link below explains what they are.
For me, the benefits are being able to read reviews when planning a trip, and of course the forums too as they are a valuable source of information. There have been some times where TripAdvisor have contacted reviewers and offered them luggage tags, although I'm not sure what the criteria is as it appears random. I got a couple not long after I'd started reviewing. You get the advice of numerous people from all around the world, on the multitude of forums, for free.
The benefit for me is reading reviews that weren't influenced by monetary incentives. I have a better chance of reading an honest and authentic guest experience as opposed to a two-line blurb written just to get free crap. Since real consumer information on TA has helped me plan better trips, saving me money and aggravation, I think my minimal contributions have been well compensated already. The best part is that it's all free. No membership fees or anything.
Writing reviews and adding pictures is a good way to record your own personal travel experiences which you might want to reference at some point in the future. Related, I find that reviewing is an important part of building the lasting memory of places that we have visited.
Writing reviews helps you understand what you liked and didn't like about past travels. It also helps you think about what you might want out of future travels. In this manner, reviewing can actually contribute to you becoming more discerning when choosing future destinations, accommodations, attractions and restaurants to experience. This should translate into better travels in the future. Writing reviews helps keep travel businesses on their toes.
After all, they know that travellers are reviewing them and they could be anyone patronising their business on the day! Got to keep up the good service if you want good reviews to come in.
Writing reviews helps ensure TA listings are updated with latest information. No one every check in with you to see how things were going and if you had an issue, forget about it every being addressed. Multiply issues with payroll over my 10 years. Every year I would have to asked for a review and annual increase. Company with still paying for my benefits 4 months after I left the company.
Was this review helpful? Communication from the top down requires some attention. Depending on where your assigned to, know that customer is always right. Work to home life where I was assigned was horrible, mandated overtime left me with only an average total of four days off a month. It's not bad working for system one you just have to pay for everything room and sometimes company do not give you your own car and you will have to share it. System One has not given raises and at the same time taken away from the benefits.
Management tells employees that they can't afford raises or benefits all awhile purchasing multi million dollar homes and vacation homes for themselves. It's a good company if you're looking for contract work but not for a career. System one provided adequate employees to American Eagle Outfitters due to their thorough background checks. They were reasonable with their pay scale as it was similar to that of American Eagle.
There is nothing to say. They just take a cut of your paycheck and nothing more. There is zero interaction with supervision and no advancement, period.
The company is good but bad management they dnt treat their employee right pay is low and they keep u on banch for more than six months of not working which is not good at all.
I loved that job good people to work with. I loved that job I wanted to work full time in they did not do full time that is the reason why I left,but overall it was a good company to work with.
Good way to get started. System one took me on as a temporary employee and I have to say they are a great starting point when looking to get your foot in the door of your career of choice!

It's not a piece of cake to make a brand name in the modeling and film industry, while Olwen Kelly is the one who has achieved that feat with her dedication and hard work at her young age. The Irish-based model and actress came to the limelight by appearing as the body of an unidentified woman named Jane Doe in the film The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
However, it seems that not many of her fans are aware of this model since she likes to keep her far from the media. But here, we are going to reveal everything related to Olwen. So, let's find out everything, including her personal life, net worth, and so on. But, at first, let's look at some quick facts.

The stunning diva is the daughter of Peter Kirwan and Maureen. Furthermore, her father worked as an insurance broker.
Going by the public records, the model has kept her personal life quite in private. Moreover, this beauty has not provided anything about her educational background. Hence, her alma mater is still under the shadow. But it will not be wrong to say that she is well-educated.

More than that, Kelly has starred in films like The Autopsy of Jane Doe as well as Winter Ridge. Meanwhile, her role as the body of an unidentified woman named Jane Doe in The Autopsy of Jane. Doe garnered rave reviews from both audiences and critics for that role, and that role became a path-breaking for her career.

And we are sure that she is going to feature in several films in the future because Kelly has the apt to become a successful actress.
Likewise, her other information, Kelly has kept her lips sealed about her love life as well. Despite being in the entertainment industry for over the years, she became successful in keeping her affairs away from the media.
According to Olwen, she revealed that the beautiful lady is in love with some mysterious man in an Interview. But she did not reveal much about her relationship status. We hope she is happy with her loved-one.
Despite experiencing a lucrative career in both modeling and acting, her net worth is not known yet. Meanwhile, the Irish actress amassed an impressive fan following and wealth with her job.
So far, there is no doubt that the actress is going to make the extra bucks in the coming days because she is young and has a long career ahead of her. According to liable sources, this 5 feet 10 inches tall actress has an estimated $500,000 of net worth.
The model from Ireland is active on Instagram right now. Apart from Instagram, she is not available on other platforms.

Splatterhouse (2010) Celebrates its 10th Anniversary!
by William Lockwood	- Website
William is a freelance writer and illustrator living in South Carolina. When he's not playing videogames and watching movies, he's working on writing and illustrating his own fantasy series. Samples of his work can be seen on his art page at https://harrym32.deviantart.com/gallery/
A year ago, I wrote a retrospective article on my favorite horror hack and slash game of all time, Splatterhouse (2010). This November 23rd marks the game's 10th anniversary, and I thought now would be a perfect time to take a look back at the game, talk a bit about its legacy and what made it so gut-splatteringly great.
It's no secret that Splatterhouse (2010) had a troubled development and saw many delays. It was initially developed by BottleRocket Entertainment, then later completed and published by Bandai Namco. When it was eventually released for PS3 and 360 on November 23, 2010, many critics wrote it off as a shallow, sub-par brawler with janky mechanics and a lackluster story. The game averaged roughly a 60% aggregate score on Metacritic. User reviews were much more favorable, however, and the game earned a 7.9/10.
I won't talk too much about the critical consensus at the time, except to say that I didn't agree with it. I loved Splatterhouse (2010) when it came out and I still love it (I even pre-ordered it to get the GameStop-exclusive 6" Terror Mask Statue replica). What I will go into is how much I adore this game. Since I went into much greater detail in my previous article, I'll keep this one brief. This will be more of an overview of the game and my own personal experience with it.
I first played Splatterhouse (2010) the day it came out. It was a chilly November evening, Halloween was over, and the year was coming to a close. Every time around this time of year my thoughts turn to that game on some level and I remember how much fun I had with it. It would go on to become a Halloween/Fall tradition for me and it's a game that has held up well in the decade since its release.
Splatterhouse (2010) works for me on a very basic level. It's an unapologetic love letter to both the original 1988 Splatterhouse arcade game and the eighties splatter films that in turn inspired the original. Based on that expectation, I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that not only was its gameplay above average, but its story was, too. Frankly, the story is way better than it needed to be for a game like this. The developers went out of their way to not only reference and blend countless plot points and callbacks to the original 1988 game, but also craft a compelling, intimate, and emotionally resonant story that works on its own terms.
The game starts off simply enough. Nerdy protagonist Rick Taylor is on a quest to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Jennifer from the clutches of the mad scientist Dr. West. Early on, Rick teams up with a psychotic, talking Terror Mask that transforms the geeky teenage into a hulking giant. While that seems like a pretty generic premise on the surface, the game uses it as a jumping-off point to tell a much deeper narrative involving Dr. West, lost love, the nature of evil, dimension-swapping, and the cyclical nature of time and prophecy, all under the veneer of a crude, blood-soaked, beat 'em up. I really enjoyed the story and was grateful the developers took their time to flesh out what could have easily been a very run-of-the-mill narrative.
The dimension/time-swapping you get to do as Rick gives the game an organic excuse to showcase a variety of interesting and exotic locations, including the vast interiors of the West mansion, a haunted amusement park, a booby-trap-filled dungeon, a grimy meat factory, and an apocalyptic cityscape, among others. In addition to the fantastic main game, Splatterhouse (2010) also includes the original Splatterhouse 1, 2, and 3 as a bonus for beating it.
The gameplay is violent and gory, and the brutal, merciless killing you dish out as Rick is sickly satisfying. Punching, slamming, ripping, and pummeling your enemies with everything from your fists to their decapitated heads, is fluid and responsive. Very few games can make you feel as dominant and capable as you dispense bloody punishment and carnage as Splatterhouse (2010) does. Fewer games still give you the opportunity to literally be covered in blood. Without hyperbole, I can easily say that this is one of the bloodiest, goriest games I've ever played, and that's saying a lot. Maybe it's the gorehound in me, but I love stuff like that.
Splatterhouse (2010) doesn't apologize for its blood and guts. Far from being a gimmick or done solely for shock value, the gore in the game actually has an important role to play in the story and gameplay, and functions as the game's version of experience points. The more blood you soak up into your Necro Meter, the more abilities you unlock. Rick can upgrade different abilities the more blood he collects, incentivizing players to get creative with their kills. One of the most fun of these is Berserker Mode, which lets you use a chunk of your Necro Meter to transform Rick into a monstrously roided out version of himself, able to pull off ridiculously powerful moves, like extending room-clearing blades out of his arms, enabling him to decapitate multiples enemies at once.
Not only are you able to dispense brutally violent moves, but you can also take an extreme amount of punishment yourself. Rick has a dynamic damage system that gets worse the more abuse you take. As you take hits, deep gashes will split open across his body, exposing guts, muscle, and bone. He can even have limbs ripped off. Luckily, you can revitalize yourself by soaking up the split blood of your enemies. If you take too much damage, however, it's game over.
I initially played the game on its Normal setting (Savage) and after beating it, immediately started a second playthrough on Hard (Brutal). While the game is challenging on Normal, it definitely lives up to its name on Brutal and significantly ramps up the difficulty. You really have to master all your special moves and use them strategically (especially absorbing enough enemy blood to refill your health meter and initiate Berserker Mode) if you want to beat the game on its hardest setting.
Overall, I loved just about every aspect of Splatterhouse (2010) from its story and gameplay to its level design, thrashing death metal soundtrack and ballsy ending. It's a shame more people haven't played it. I could easily talk about this game all day long, but you really just need to go out and play it for yourself to get the full experience. Having the option to watch playthroughs online is nice (if you absolutely have to) but there's no substitute for actually having a controller in your hand and experiencing the game firsthand.
Right now, prices on eBay for both the 360 and PS3 versions of Splatterhouse (2010) are relatively cheap. Assuming you still have either of those systems, now would be a great time to check the game out, if you haven't already. Unfortunately, they are not backwards compatible with newer systems.
For anyone interested in a comprehensive history of Splatterhouse's development, you can check out the excellent 2018 Polygon article by Matt Paprocki, which delves deep into the game's rocky development and legacy. Another good site for all things Splatterhouse is the all-inclusive West Mansion, which has tons of info on not only the 2010 entry but all games in the series.
Splatterhouse (2010) has stood the test of time. It successfully blends an uncommonly smart story and buckets of blood and gore, with solidly satisfying brawler gameplay. While it hasn't gotten near enough attention as it should have over the years, for the devoted, and those willing to give the game a chance, it will no doubt satisfy your bloodlust and have you coming back for more, year after year.
In honor of the game's 10th anniversary, I would like to personally thank everyone at BottleRocket Entertainment and Bandai Namco for crafting such a masterpiece of grindhouse-style, exploitation horror that to this day remains a classic of the horror/hack and slash genre.

Divide your grains into 3 pound increments. One batch will be steeped and turned out onto a floor. The cistern will be refilled with another 3 pounds of grain for steeping to follow suit. The malt floors are used in a circular manner to keep production flowing.
Wash the grains well, skim off any floating husks and drebis. Steep them in clean water for 48 hours, change the water at 24 hours. Longer than 48 hours total steeping time provides a chance for microbial contamination. When the grains absorb moisture to 70% of their original weight, they have steeped long enough. The end result is a plump grain as opposed to a dried grain. Any bad grains (ones that have dried up) will float to the top and can be poured off. You can drain off the excess water and re-weigh your grains to see if they have increased in weight 70%.
A fired clay pot that has been glazed for moisture resistance makes a good cistern. Any glass, stainless or plastic bowl will also work as long as the size is large enough for water to stand at least 1 inch above the grain. Lightly drain the water from the grains and pile them into Floor 1. Refill the cistern with 3 more pounds of grain to steep for the next 48 hours.
Now the grains are piled in a heap on Floor 1 for 48 hours. This is referred to as the "couch". Piling the grains allows heat to build up in the pile, helping to begin germination. The grains should be turned once at 24 hours while in the couch bringing the grains from the center of the pile to the outside and the outer grains to the inside. Any excess water is absorbed by the plaster and is held there, providing moisture to the grains, but not allowing them to sit in a pool of water. At the end of this stage, the seeds should have tiny white buds beginning to show. Be sure to refill your cistern with the second 3 pounds of grain for steeping 48 hours.
The grains are now moved from Floor 1 to Floor 2 for 48 hours . Spread the grains out evenly, do not couch them on Floor 2. This has a two-fold purpose. Primarily, it provides the turning of the grains which controls moisture content, aerates the grain and destroys heat buildup in the couch. Secondly, it provides an empty Floor 1 which can now be filled with steeped grains. Be sure to refill your cistern with the third 3 pounds of grain for steeping 48 hours. The grains on Floor 2 will develop long, thin rootlets.
The grains are now moved from Floor 2 to Floor 3 for 48 hours. Spread the grains out evenly. The grains begin to grow the acrospire or stem from the same end as the rootlets. To observe this, you may have to remove the husk from the seed. The stem grows up the seed towards the opposite end from the rootlets. Conversion from starch to sugar within the seed is how the seed provides the sugar it will need to grow the stem of the plant. Transfer the grains from Floor 1 to 2 and fill the first floor with fresh soaked grains from the cistern. Begin steeping the fourth 3 pounds of grain in the cistern.
The grains are now moved from Floor 3 to Floor 4 (approx.) 48 hours.. Spread the grains out evenly. The stem should grow to the length of the seed.
This is a measurement whereby the grain is said to be "fully modified" in converting starch to sugar. Grains where the stem is shorter than 3/4 of the seed in length are considered "under modified". "Over modified" is where the stem has grown beyond the length of the seed. Now the sugar the seed has stored is being used by the stem to grow. It is best to take an average of the grain population to determine if the grains have fully converted the starch to sugar. The grains should then be dried in an oven on "warm" with the door propped open and stirred every 6 hours until crunchy and the rootlets fall off when abraded approx. 48hours. Finally, transfer the remaining steeped grains on the floors. Continue transferring grains to consecutive floors every 48 hours until all are done.
Note: Germination times are based on 6-row barley grain. Times are cut in half for malting wheat or other smaller grains.
To obtain information on period malting and malthouses, you can download my Queen's Prize Tournament Documentation (PDF format) by clicking here. It has information on malting, grain selection, and design of other portions of the malthouse. Check back later for plans for a table-top grain kiln.
