Where to vote in Coral Gables →
Last-Minute Dirty Campaigning Alert
The candidate running for Coral Gables Commission Group 4 is named, according to his filing statement, Frank C. Quesada. His office is at 355 Alhambra Circle, Suite 801, Coral Gables, Florida 33134. There is no misconduct on his record.
That would seem to make him an entirely different person from the Coral Gables lawyer by the name of G. Frank Quesada who was the subject of a public reprimand by the Florida Supreme Court in 2009 for his actions in connection with a real estate deal. His office is at 1313 Ponce De Leon Blvd # 200, Coral Gables, FL 33134.
Beware anyone trying to suggest otherwise in, say, an unsigned email.

Little Havana style politics at its worst
Dirty? or just lazy?
One of the downsides of the ready availability of so much info on the Interweb is that 25-30 year olds, who have always had instant access to things (through computers, cell phones, etc.) in their teen and adult lives is that they have been trained to see this firehose of data as normal. So they almost never bother to vet anything. If it says it on the Interweb, it must be real data from somewhere, so I can rely on it. Or at least that's how life is so I just do what I can with it. After all, wikipeadia is edited by hundreds of thousands of people, how could it be wrong?
Hence, I get phone calls from debt collectors looking for a deadbeat with my name on a constant basis. Not because I am being targeted personally, but because the collector no doubt is calling everyone that has that name, with info readily available to them on the Interweb, until the real one is found. Which is going to be never, since he seems to be the one that's in Prison right now. (I checked once.)
MAndersonCG says:
Pretty disgusting tactics that have arrived in Coral Gables, mostly usually engineered by those who have no ethical standards. I hope voters tell these carpetbagger campaign consultants (from outside our city) to get the heck out of dodge.
Jerry G says:
This fake outrage is just outrageous.
I've been reading this blog for a while now, and I'm wondering just what world some of the commenters have been living in. The same goes for the useless Miami Herald, which is completely out of touch with reality.
Every single race in Coral Gables involving credible candidates has been heated. For as long as anyone can remember. In the 1970s, when a few incumbents were tossed out, to the 2001 repeat when Slesnick, Cabrera and Anderson were swept in, to most recently Anderson's race in 2009, etc.
Every single person, including Withers, Kerdyk and the lions of the past, have played rough — or let their proxies play rough.
Any candidate or incumbent who claims to have run purely "positive" campaigns is so full of it.
Blogs like this don't help things when they don't know what they are talking about when it comes to campaigning. As an example, why do you keep saying "push poll" unless you are sure it was a "push poll."
From what's been described, it doesn't sound like any "push" polling has been going on.
I also find not-so-subtle racism on this blog to be offensive with references to Little Havana and Hialeah.
Alert to Anglos — some of the worse campaigning in the country takes place in Anglo communities in South Florida. Right in lily white Broward County.
There. I got that off my chest!
Michael Froomkin says:
Push polls are when the supposed pollster tells you something negative about a candidate in the hopes of moving your vote.
I suppose it is conceivable that some of the early polls were sincerely testing the effectiveness of negative messages that campaigns were thinking of using. Although a lot of people seem to have gotten those calls (another sign of a push poll is that they don't just call a small sample — the point is to spread the message).
It is not very persuasive to me that a poll taken only a few days before the election, in which you're asked who you are for then told negative things about them and asked if you still are for them, is anything but a push poll as by that time it's late to change a media buy. And I got one of those and blogged about it.
If you have an alternate explanation, please let us know what it is.
As regards the comments about campaigning styles, please note the distinction between what I write and what commentators write.
I'm not that familiar with the most recent poll you are talking about, so I will defer to you on that one. I will say it goes to intent — whether the goal is to gauge or sway opinion.
I would just call them "attack calls" instead of push polling, since the term push polling is misused and misunderstood.
It seems the early poll was called a push poll by you and other bloggers. They seemed to zero in on the question about Rosenblatt's sexual orientation. That doesn't sound like a push poll at all.
You might not like the question, but it doesn't sound like a push poll. Questions similar to that are asked all the time, by groups of all political persuasions.
All that said, I think your blog has done a civic service by giving daily reports on the ads and such going on. We can't get that anywhere else. Of course, you are Anglo, so you obviously didn't get everything, or got only certain things.
I do very much want to find out why on earth no one has written about Korge and his connection to the Tampa group that is dropping attack mail pieces on Cason.
I've heard ad nauseum about the CG cops beating up Rosenblatt (who did NOT question a word about the attack being less than factual, btw), but nada about Korge.
The Herald asked Korge about the attack mailers. He told them he had no idea who was behind it.
You say that despite this denial that you think Korge is connected to the 'Tampa' group (actually, according to the Herald, a UM Law student). But you don't say WHY you believe this, or offer any evidence. I think that until there is some actual evidence offered, no one with principles will write about it.
Now we're getting somewhere. So, let's refresh a bit before i get to your point…….
The Herald makes a big fuss about the CG cops disseminating accurate, truthful information about Rosenblatt. information that came from the herald and a tv station. information that rosenblatt didn't deny, but rather tried vainly to spin away.
the herald reporter interviewed the cops and guy who did these attack pieces (that's exactly what they are), all on the records as far as i can tell.
now turn to korge, and the complete opposite situation — virtually NO coverage.
korge pleads ignorant, and the story mostly DIES, gets buried.
the moral here is don't talk to the herald, or in the case of korge, lie to them, and the story will die!
as to your point….this tampa group MUST file finance reports with the city clerk of coral gables. it's all there. three — yes, three — herald reporters worked on the last story this weekend, and none bothered to get off his/her ass to bother getting these reports.
it's absolutely amazing that the herald — or any other entity — hasn't told us about their finance reports.
now, if the reports weren't filed, then that's an infraction of campaign finance laws.
THAT's a story, too.
it's very simple electoral equation — you beat up cason, and his votes gravitate to korge, the other challenger to the incumbent. politics 101. ok, maybe 201.
So, to sum up…. all evidence leads to korge. someone just needs to bother to get the evidence.
i guess to prove my point i will have to get the reports myself, since no one else will.
I have to agree with Jerry G regarding the "not-so-subtle racism on this blog [involving] references to Little Havana and Hialeah." The comments are pretty annoying, but I usually ignore them.
In the case of The Herald, do you mean handing them a smoking gun, and the suspected shooter cooperating with them fully, on the record.
I think the term is "reporting." Professor, there's no clear and convincing standard in the news business.
In Saturday's article the Herald reported that it had gotten the information off the mystery group's registration with Coral Gables, and this is what it was:
The mailers against Cason came from "The Committee for Coral Gables' Future," with a return address in Tampa. Slesnick denied any involvement; Korge said he didn't know who the group was.
"Whoever did this did it in a hurry, and did it sloppily," Cason said. "This is a group no one's heard of. They're running scared, whoever it is."
According to a Statement of Electioneering Communication filed with the city of Coral Gables, Jordan Behlman is the committee's chairman. When contacted by The Miami Herald on Friday, Behlman would not comment about his involvement with the group. Behlman, 30, is a registered student at the University of Miami School of Law.
The mailer's return address is 3606 S. Waverly Cir., Tampa, which Behlman listed as his permanent address on the electioneering statement. It's the address of Behlman's parents. Behlman's mother, Jaynee, said Friday they have nothing to do with Coral Gables.
That doesn't spell K-o-r-g-e to me, although I suppose it's possible that he might have met the student while teaching a tax class.
But maybe what you mean is that there should an additional report, which shows where the group got its money. I'm not actually sure that they have to disclose their funding if all they do is election communications in municipal elections. But I don't do elections law, and the Florida statute is a bit opaque on first glance.
So, yes, it would be nice if someone went down to city hall and found out if there is such a report and what it says.
But in the absence of that, what evidence is there for tying it to Korge or anyone else?
Whatsup says:
G Frank Quesada, is Frank Quesada's father. Being the offspring of an attorney myself, to have a complaint issued against him after so many years of law practice, especially in Miami, is a non issue.
A complaint maybe, but an adjudication of guilt? That's a bit more serious, or at least potentially so. But in any case, father or not, it's not the candidate and thus irrelevant.
the kid in tampa is irrelevant. follow the money.
Yes, there should be a financial report, with contributions, expenditures. Yes, they must disclose those to the reporting authority, on a regular basis, where they are doing electioneering communications.
How about interviewing a disinterested expert in these matters about who would gain when Cason is attacked?
At this point, that looney former Herald reporter who now rants and raves in her blog seems like a star in comparison.
Look, some real reporters would have gotten this story done. The Herald does have a few left who know campaigns and campaign finance.
Most telling, The Herald has written blog items and even stories with a lot less "evidence." They pretty much do what they please.

Top U.S. House tax writer floats tax bill on retirement plans, IRS
FILE PHOTO: Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) holds up a sample tax form as he speaks during a media briefing after the House Republican conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., April 17, 2018. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts/File Photo
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Republican who will soon step down as chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives tax committee late on Monday released a sweeping, nearly 300-page tax bill that he said would affect Americans' retirement savings, numerous business tax breaks and redesign the Internal Revenue Service.
Representative Kevin Brady, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee only until early January, shepherded through the House and onto President Donald Trump's desk in 2017 a large tax bill that slashed the U.S. corporate tax rate.
Of his latest legislation, Brady said in a statement, "The policy proposals in this package have support of Republicans and Democrats in both chambers. I look forward to swift action in the House to send these measures to the Senate."
American voters ended Republican control of the House in the Nov. 6 elections and handed majority power to the Democrats. Brady is expected to be replaced as committee chairman in January by Democratic Representative Richard Neal.
In the interim, Congress is holding a "lame duck" session in which Republicans such as Brady will still be in charge of the House agenda. No summary of Brady's bill was immediately available, said a spokesman for the lawmaker.
The legislation's outlook was not immediately clear, with Congress likely to be busy in the "lame duck" session with a must-pass spending measure and Trump's renewed demands for money to build a proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The 297-page text of the bill covers tax breaks for fuel cell cars, energy efficient homes, race horses, mine safety equipment, auto race tracks and many other items, as well as retirement savings plans such as 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts (IRAs).
The bill also "includes some time-sensitive technical corrections" to the 2017 bill that Trump signed into law, Brady said in the statement.

# RFD 89 - Merge Webapps into Teleport

## Required Approvers

- Engineering: `@kimlisa`, `@ravicious`, `@nklaassen`

## What

- Merge the [webapps](https://github.com/gravitational/webapps) repo into the
  [teleport](https://github.com/gravitational/teleport) repo.
- Merge the [webapps.e](https://github.com/gravitational/webapps.e) repo into
  the [teleport.e](https://github.com/gravitational/teleport.e) repo.

## Why

The version of the web UI and the Teleport are tightly coupled but the
repositories were created separate to support both Gravity and Teleport. This
introduced complexities when integrating the two projects.

We have to separately clone and build the web UI and commit the webasset
changes into the teleport repo whenever we want to represent an update. We also
have to maintain multiple build systems and ops procedures for the web UI.

Now that Gravity is no longer a product we develop, moving the web UI
repositories into their respective Teleport repo will save us time and
confusion.

## Success Criteria

Both [Teleport](https://github.com/gravitational/teleport) and
[Teleport.e](https://github.com/gravitational/teleport.e) repos contain their
respective UI counterparts and the build systems correctly build all projects.

## Developer Experience

### Day to day

The Day to day development experience shouldn't change. The webapps project
will continue to be self-contained and only require access to the nodejs and
yarn binaries. The locations of the enterprise assets will have to be changed
but that should remain transparent to the day to day activities.

To work on the enterprise version of the application the developer will have to
check out the enterprise version of Teleport which will bring with it the
appropriate webapp assets.

Merging these repositories may cause some disruption when multiple developers
are working on the same feature across the back and frontend. Using a
[git worktree](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree) to create a worktree of
the webapps folder is an elegant way of approaching this issue

### Backports

To avoid having different proceses and build systems depending on the version
of teleport, all supported release branches (v9, v10, v11) will have their
respective versions of the webapps repository.

### Build process

The Teleport build process will need to be expanded to include nodejs and yarn
in order to be able to build the webapp assets and include into the final
teleport binaries. We will no longer be committing a compiled version of the
webassets into the teleport repository, the UI will need to be compiled from
source on the initial build of teleport. A make target will be provided to
perform a dockerized build of the webassets for those who don't wish to install
node and yarn on their workstation.

### Merging PRs

At the time of writing, the `webapps` project sees about 1.5 pull requests per
day into the `master` branch. The `webapps` CI jobs take at most 11 minutes to
run. We expect the merging of the two projects to delay the merging of backend
branches by 30m in the event a `webapps` PR lands while a `teleport` PR is
running its own CI jobs. This is primarily caused by the length of the CI run
for `teleport` and as such there are some tasks to improve the performance of
these jobs listed in the `Process` section below.

In the near future the `teleport` repository will also have a merge queue implemented which will dramatically reduce the hand-holding require to sheppard a PR through.

## Process

Below outlines the process for each repository in the order that the steps need
to be taken. All repositories will be prepped for the final archival and merging
but the final switch over steps will not be taken until v11 has been released.

The git histories of each branch will be maintained while merging. [Merging repositories](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13040958/merge-two-git-repositories-without-breaking-file-history)

### Webapps repository

[repository](https://github.com/gravitational/webapps)

#### Actions

- [ ] Update the `README.md` to indicate that this repository is no longer the
      source of truth and instead link to the `teleport` repo. Due to us needing
      topotentially update older releases we are not able to archive the
      repository at this time. We can revisit this in 6mo.

### Teleport repository

[repository](https://github.com/gravitational/teleport)

#### Actions

- [ ] Remove `/webassets` submodule
  - This submodule is no longer required as the web UI will be built on-demand.
  - The folder will remain as the output location of the on-demand build but
    will not be committed.
- [ ] Clone the [Webapps repository](https://github.com/gravitational/webapps) into
      the Teleport root. [Maintaining their respective git histories](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13040958/merge-two-git-repositories-without-breaking-file-history)
  - [ ] This will need to be done for every respective version branch (v9, v10, v11)
- [ ] Update targets that use the `packages/webapps.e` submodule to point points to
      the correct version in the `teleport.e/web` folder.
- [ ] Only require teleport build processes to run on teleport paths and the webapp
      ones to run on the webapp paths
- [ ] Update Connect's build pipelines (in teleport/dronegen) as webapps will no longer need to be cloned.

Snowbasin, Utah Feb. 9, 2002 (AP by Bob Baum)--Beneath a spectacular clear sky, her pigtail wrapped in red, white and blue, Picabo Street raced down the mountain faster than any of her competitors on Saturday.
Sure, it was only the first training run in the women's downhill, but she and the rest of the U.S. team gave notice that they are primed for this long-awaited Olympic Games on a course they know so well.
Skiing out of the 30th position, a number that matches her age, Street was timed in one minute, 42.16 seconds. Her U.S. teammate, Caroline Lalive, was second, 41-hundredths of a second behind. In all, four Americans were in the top 10.
The first training run for Monday's race was postponed by high winds on Friday. So Saturday's postcard weather on Mount Ogden served as a backdrop to the first dress rehearsal of the moment that lured Street back from a horrific accident that left her with a broken left leg and mangled right knee.
The crash at the World Cup finals in Crans Montana, Switzerland, came just a month after she won the gold medal in the super giant slalom at the 1998 Nagano Games. Four years earlier, she won the silver in the downhill at Lillehammer.
The chance to ski at a third Olympics, about an hour's drive from her Park City home, motivated her through two years of rehabilitation.
Jonna Mendes of the United States was sixth Saturday. American Kirsten Clark tied for ninth, although she stood up from her racing crouch far from the finish and coasted to the end.
Gold medal favorites Isolde Kostner of Italy and Hilde Gerg of Germany were seventh and 21st, respectively.
Street won a NorAm race, her only post-injury victory, on the same course last year, a layout well-suited to her skills.
The men's and women's downhill races finish at the same place, but the resemblance ends there. While the men's Grizzly course is full of twists, turns and jumps with no place for a skier to catch his breath, the women's course starts with a long straight stretch before the skier faces any technical challenges.
She spent much of Saturday trying to calm down from her big role in Friday night's opening ceremony.
Street and Cami Granato, captain of the 1998 gold medal-winning U.S. hockey team, carried the torch up the steps toward the Olympic cauldron, and handed it to Mike Eruzione, captain of the 1980 U.S. hockey team.
As she shoved off down the mountain Saturday, she said her nerves were fine.
While Street warned that the Americans were ready, Mendes and Lalive, both just 22, didn't want to make too much of their performances.

Anthony Davis turns down Lakers contract offer, as expected
Lakers forward Anthony Davis likely will wait until free agency before signing a contract.

By Tania Ganguli
Jan. 7, 2020 1:37 PM PT
As the new year begins, the Lakers are preparing for the near and not-so-near future.
They offered Anthony Davis the maximum contract they could Tuesday, a four-year deal worth $146 million — a formality on the first day they could do it. Davis declined the offer, as expected. The Lakers can offer him a five-year deal worth more than $200 million in July after he officially becomes a free agent.
The 26-year-old superstar's agent, Rich Paul, has been clear for months that Davis' plan is to officially enter the market, though he is widely expected to re-sign with the Lakers.
The Lakers also are preparing for the trade deadline, which is Feb. 6 at noon PST, and monitoring the buyout market.
Activity often ramps up league-wide in advance of the trade deadline, but the Lakers are still in a fact-finding mode. A person familiar with the team's plans said the Lakers, who have the best record in the Western Conference, don't plan to make any dramatic moves, but would be interested in improving the "fringes" of their team if the right deal arises.
To that end, the Lakers are willing to listen to offers involving any of their players except LeBron James and Davis, the person said.
The trade deadline last year was a tumultuous time for the Lakers. Davis requested a trade from New Orleans in January, and the Lakers set to work trying to acquire him. Then-Pelicans general manager Dell Demps was reluctant to engage with the Lakers and spoke only with president of basketball operations Magic Johnson. The Lakers' offers became public and that damaged chemistry within their locker room. At a game in Indiana, players heard chants of "LeBron's going to trade you."
No trade materialized last season, but after a regime change in New Orleans, the Lakers got Davis for the price of three players they had selected in the first round, three first-round draft picks and the right to swap a fourth.
Granderson: Instead of trading Kyle Kuzma, here's what the Lakers need to do
Instead of trading struggling forward Kyle Kuzma, the Lakers need to be patient because he's a good third option on a LeBron James-led team.
This year the Lakers would like to conduct their business more quietly, though reports already have surfaced that teams are calling about Kyle Kuzma. According to a person familiar with the conversation, Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka initiated a call with Sacramento to gauge the Kings' interest in Kuzma.
Another procedural milestone passed for the Lakers on Tuesday as Dwight Howard's one-year contract became guaranteed by the end of the day.
Howard agreed to a nonguaranteed deal to prove to the Lakers he was serious about rehabilitating his image and accepting a lesser role.
"Off to a great start," coach Frank Vogel said. "I felt like we've always had a connection from conversations we've had where we were both opponents to each other, and I felt like it was going to be a good fit. And when we met with him this summer, that I could be an influential coach for him, and that he could bring his skill set and if he accepted the right role, could really help us. All of that has played out in the way that I anticipated so far."

Hala Kosynierka – hala sportowa we Wrocławiu (na wyspie Kępa Mieszczańska, os. Nadodrze), w Polsce. Została wybudowana w latach 80. XIX wieku jako kryta ujeżdżalnia, niedługo po II wojnie światowej została zaadaptowana na halę sportową, w której do lat 90. XX wieku swoje mecze rozgrywali koszykarze pierwszej drużyny Śląska Wrocław. Pojemność hali wynosi 660 widzów.

Obiekt powstał w latach 80. XIX wieku jako kryta ujeżdżalnia. Niedługo po II wojnie światowej budynek został przejęty przez Wojskowy Klub Sportowy Pionier (protoplasta WKS-u Śląsk). Obiekt został zaadaptowany na halę sportową i od 1948 roku był użytkowany przez powstałą wówczas sekcję koszykarską klubu. Koszykarze Śląska w okresie rozgrywania swoich spotkań w tej hali zdobyli kilka tytułów mistrzów Polski. Sam obiekt zyskał przydomek "Kosynierka", gdyż koszykarze Śląska ze względu na swą waleczność otrzymali pseudonim "Kosynierzy". W latach 90. XX wieku pierwsza drużyna Śląska przeniosła się do Hali Stulecia. Podczas powodzi w 1997 roku hala została zalana wodą do poziomu 120 cm. W trakcie sezonu 2011/2012 obiekt został wyremontowany, a jego wnętrze udekorowano pamiątkami przypominającymi historię koszykarzy Śląska. Obecnie (2021) w hali swoje spotkania rozgrywa drużyna rezerw Śląska, korzystają z niej także zespoły młodzieżowe klubu i służy ona do codziennych treningów.

Have you ever noticed that there are no hit men just roaming around? If you have you may have some more serious issues to take care of. An eccentric big cat breeder in Oklahoma has been charged with hiring hit men to kill the operator of a Florida animal sanctuary. One of the "hit men" was an FBI Agent, as they usually are. If you want someone dead, just do it yourself. Or don't kill anyone in general.


6.) Multiply by tax rate to get tax.
Out of this, I store the result from each calculation in a Java class object.
Once I've done this for all line items, I loop through my objects and add up the net amount and the tax amount. At this point right before I write my final result to the database, I round.
In a good number of my orders, I am 1 penny off either in the total or the total tax.
Just to make sure I understand, Clover only rounds at the very end of the process, right? Line item level detail data is left in raw unrounded form. Is this the way it should be or should I be rounding with each calculation? I seem to match most of the time when I don't round until the end but for the life of me I cannot figure why I have a significant number of records that are a penny off.
Are there multiple tax rates or just one?
@rmgas, can you provide an example? Either the line items, discounts, prices, and tax rate or if you have an example on Clover provide the merchantId and orderId.

can some one help with bamboo charcoal amendment for moringa trees.
WOW, I did some research on this tree and it is something! Can I ask why do you need bamboo charcoal? What nutrients are you looking to add? It appears bamboo charcoal is more of a purifier than a fertilizer etc.
And, charcoal can definitely be a double edged sword. Great short term benefits... not so great after about a year or so based on my personal experiences.
The amendment ( Bamboo Charcoals ) I referred to , was from a note I read about terra petra ( the Amazonian back earth ). I thought if it could replicated in tropical semi arid region.
Appears bamboo charcoal functions much the same as what ever type I'm using. I guess I'll have to find out what kind of charcoal I've been using as you've piqued my curiosity and I'd like to know if there would be any tangible benefits to using a bamboo charcoal over say a mesquite, maple, beech, or oak charcoal. Little voice tells me they all function similarly when used in a medium for a plant.
We use the mesquite charcoal in a smoker and have used charcoal in the past when we had fish tanks. These days, I use charcoal in mediums for some orchids and carnivorous plants. For these types of plants, charcoal can be a really great additive if one keeps track of when the plant was re-potted and re-pots the plant in about a year or so into fresh medium or not.
I don't know if a Moringa oleifera (Moringa Tree) would be adversely affected when charcoal began to break down and colonize or not. The above plants are negatively impacted which is why I have to re-pot them regularly. I guess what it comes down to is- is Moringa oleifera a species that would be ok with decomposing organic materials or not? If it isn't going to be happy, and I've never worked with this species in my life so I can't tell you if you would end up having to re-pot a whole tree every year or so into fresh medium with fresh charcoal.
"If charcoal is included in the mix, be aware that it will absorb fertilizer salts and water impurities after a time and can inhibit root growth. I have observed healthy root tips encounter a piece of charcoal, stop growing, turn black and die. Not the entire root –just the tip. I don't think that flushing the pot takes care of this problem completely with aged charcoal. When roots that are in contact with charcoal die, it may be an indication that the mix needs replacing."
It's been my experience that flushing a pot didn't help. Doesn't seem to stop the bacterial colonization of the charcoal. It's those microbes that will start decomposing in the medium that are going to create a big problem over time for people using it in mediums for some plants... not all plants but some.
When charcoal is present in a mix, over time it will become overgrown with various microbes just like any other porous object in a mix. I'm told these microbes "will utilize the absorbed materials in the charcoal matrix. Depending on the micro-ecology you end up with the transfer back and forth between plant roots and charcoal chips may or may not be beneficial"
Here's the dilemma- nobody I know has ever run across a clear and scientific reason why charcoal is needed in any mix. People like me may use it in mixes for some plants because it's great at absorbing trace nutrients and phenomenal at neutralizing chlorine from tap water but we have to repeatedly re-pot our plants or they go into decline. There's that double edged sword I mentioned before. Leave some species of plants in a medium containing charcoal for a few years too long and you're going to end up with dead plants or plants that are in serious decline.
So do you want to add any form of charcoal to your medium for your tree? I don't know. It would appear that using it in a mix would never hurt a plant providing one gets into the habit of keeping track on when the plant was last provided with a fresh medium.
There might be a problem in the procedure you suggest with Moringa trees. Repotting them is not recommended as their roots are very sensitive, and it is suggested to plant Moringa trees in large pots to avoid disturbing the roots.
5-10% is what is recommended for most. you need to soak the charcoal in some nutrient rich water first or you will get nitrogen drawback.
Get started with your Moringa seeds now in a reasonably large pot, in the heat of your house in a window that gets the most direct sun of the day.
When danger of frost is over, ease it out in the sunshine gradually. (it will drop some leaves.) Whether full sun all day or a little sun is a toss up. One of mine seemed to do better with a little shade, but hard to say.
Keep the tree trimmed down so the branches will stay full and not spindley .
I would bring the tree in next winter, either as a "house plant" or in the garage. I have a friend who has kept a moringa tree in an 18" pot for 4 years by bringing it into the garage for the winter.
The material says if you cut them back and keep them from freezing they will grow back in shoots. I don't have any experience with that, but maybe someone else does. There is a lot of info on line that's useful.
Keep posted on how things go.
Is your Moringa tree still alive? I've sprouted 2 seedlings under my grow light and I hope to keep it going for several years.
Sorry, this is a duplicate.
I know you are growing this tree in a pot. But here a branch is stuck in the ground, it get watered only until it is established then it lives on rain and I have not known anyone to fertilize or do anything special for it besides lop off the branches for the leaves and fruit.
The tree may not need that much special attention besides lots of growing room and winter protection since it is a tropical tree. It is a fast growing tree.
Did I mess up my compost by adding leftover charcoal/ashes?

If you are already registered with the amazing online community known as Ravelry, then you can quit reading and go on to the next article. Yay!! I want to talk with those folks who still don't use and/or, OH MY, haven't heard of Ravelry (www.ravelry.com) It's a must go-to website for knitting and crocheting patterns, information about yarn, project notebooks, and social help from other like-minded crafters.
I'm always surprised when folks come into the store asking for patterns and I mention Ravelry. "What's that?" they ask. I take them over to the computer, bring up Ravelry and do a quick search for "baby hats" What the what?? There are 15,950 patterns for baby hats?! Why yes there is. It's a little like Pinterest, two hours later you wonder how that happened! Didn't I just log on 7 minutes ago?! If you happen upon a pattern that costs money (many, many are free – I always try that first!), we can sell that pattern to you in the store. It costs the same to you, but we realize a little profit when we sell patterns. Ravelry is very supportive of LYS and we appreciate that very much!
A second reason for using Ravelry relates to your stash. Sometimes, I go to my stash to reacquaint myself with all the fun things I've purchased along the way. I think, "I really ought to knit something up with this gorgeous skein of lusciousness!" I head to Ravelry, type in the yarn name, and click on "Projects." All sorts of inspiration for that skein of yarn pop up as suggestions. I also keep a list of my stash online – when I'm visiting other LYSs in other states, it helps to know what's in my current stash.
It's also a place to track your projects, which for a person such as myself, is very "neat and tidy." It's like lining up all your projects (even those you've given as gifts and don't have on hand) and oohing and aahing all over them again. I put notes in as reminders – if I changed the number of cast on stitches, if I shortened the sleeve length, if I liked it or it was only "meh." It's also how folks such as yourself find inspiration – the more you put on, the more you get out. Call it "crowd sourcing" if you will. I like to see other knitters' notes for a particular project – it might save me a bunch of time in the end.
You can also go there for help. The Forums and Groups are fun places to go even further down the rabbit hole. For example, I've gone to a specific group looking for advice on a particular knit along – it was extremely helpful and supportive. I've also joined several Groups that I'm fond of (like a LYS near my son's house in D.C.) If you'd like, feel free to send a friend request to our shop's page under the People search tab (sewsteamboat). You can also join our Group (yarn it!) As knit alongs and community projects come up, we'll activate a discussion here.
Enjoy and I'll see you on Ravelry soon!
One of the new yarns that we are carrying this season is Plymouth Merino Textura. We always have Plymouth Yarns in the shop but this yarn is special. Plymouth Merino Textura is a beautiful "thick and thin" worsted weight yarn. The content of this yarn is 68% super wash fine merino and 38% merino wool and is made of two piles of different thicknesses of wool that creates a slightly tonal variation.
I am knitting a very simple hat pattern and because of the slubby nature of the yarn, a very interesting textured fabric is created. This yarn is soft and delicious and would be great for most any project.
Learn to knit in the round and also make a pom pom for the top with Cindy!
Materials: 1 skein Malabrigo Mecha (or one that provides the same gauge); 16" US 8 for the brim; 16" 10 (or 10.5 or 11 - pattern is flexible) for the hat; 10/11 dpns for decreasing; stitch marker; and yarn needle to weave in ends; pattern provided in class.

Bulldozers in move to make pier site safer
Fleetwood pier
Published: 16:41 Wednesday 26 April 2017
Residents in Fleetwood were left startled to see bulldozers on the former Fleetwood Pier site.
There had been complaints that the land was not properly tidied after the pier building burned down in September 2008.
Our officers immediately responded and blocked off access to the cellar
This week Wyre Council, which owns the land but is leasing it to consortium Simmo Developments, explained what was happening at the site.
A spokeswoman said: "On Monday April 10, we received a call stating children had been trying to gain access to the cellar under the Fleetwood pier site.
"Our officers immediately responded and blocked off access to the cellar.
"Following this, our building control officers held a site meeting with Simmo Developments. which surveyed the site and filled in the void."
Simmo plans to build 15 flats for the over 55s on the site but there are now more than 600 objections to the scheme, which is similar to one rejected by planners in January.

China has released the first national draft guideline on the use of self-driving vehicles for public transport, a key move in accelerating the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology and encouraging local authorities to formulate the relevant management policies, industry experts said.
The country will encourage the use of self-driving vehicles such as buses in an enclosed Bus Rapid Transit or BRT system, and allow autonomous vehicles to offer taxi services under simple and relatively controllable scenarios, according to draft rules published by the Ministry of Transport on Monday. The authorities are asking for public opinion or reactions to the guideline through Sept 7.
"The national draft rules on self-driving vehicles are expected to better regulate the whole industry, providing a reference and guidance for local authorities that have yet to issue similar guidelines," said Zhang Xiang, a researcher at the Automobile Industry Innovation Research Center at North China University of Technology in Beijing.
The draft regulation classified autonomous vehicles into three types: conditionally, highly and fully autonomous vehicles, depending on the degree of their autonomous capacity.
The guideline said that conditionally and highly autonomous vehicles should have human drivers. Remote drivers or safety supervisors should be required for fully autonomous vehicles. In addition, safety should be the top priority in the management of self-driving vehicles, it said.
The draft guideline also stipulates that the routes of autonomous vehicles should be far away from densely populated areas such as schools, hospitals and large shopping malls.
The move came after local governments in Wuhan and Chongqing's Yongchuan district granted tech giant Baidu the country's first permits to offer fully driverless commercial robotaxi services to the public on open roads.
Apollo Go, the name of Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing service, is authorized to charge fares for robotaxi services completely without human drivers and safety supervisors in the car in designated areas.
Noting that China has taken the lead in the research and development as well as application of autonomous driving technologies, Zhang said the latest move will encourage self-driving companies to carry out road tests and commercial operations of robotaxi services in more cities, speeding up the large-scale commercial use of autonomous vehicles across the nation.
Some local governments have already rolled out a series of supportive policies to promote the commercialization of autonomous driving technology.
For instance, the southern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen has allowed fully autonomous vehicles without human drivers to run on certain roads since Aug 1, when a local regulation on smart and internet-connected vehicles came into effect.
In July, Beijing launched China's first pilot area for commercial autonomous driving vehicle services. Baidu and self-driving startup Pony.ai are the first enterprises granted permission, and they will offer paid robotaxi services, without a safety operator behind the steering wheel, within a 60-square-kilometer area in Yizhuang, a southern suburb of Beijing.
However, a supervisor will still sit in the front passenger seat to ensure safety.
"Currently, only a few countries, including China and Germany, have rolled out policies at the national level that support the development of autonomous vehicles," said Lyu Jinghong, an intelligent-mobility analyst at research firm BloombergNEF.
Lyu added that clear regulations at the national level will encourage local governments and autonomous driving companies to speed up the application of self-driving technology, which is crucial to achieving the commercialization target.

National Poetry Month at The Old State House in Dover, April 4th & 18th
Tags: Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Cape Henlopen, Delaware, Delaware literary events, Poetry, Poetry Out Loud
The Old State House in Dover, Delaware on the Green–"laid out in 1717 accordance with William Penn's 1683 orders"
is an anchor venue of the First State Heritage Park system. The Delaware Division of the Arts and the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs have teamed up to host poets and poetry events in The Old State House this April, to celebrate National Poetry Month.
I am excited to be reading new poems to visitors on The Green again! I last read inside The Old State House in 2003, thrilled to have worked with Fleda Brown and 11 other poets whom I met at the 2002 Cape Henlopen Poets Retreat, the inaugural 4-day getaway that was Fleda Brown's first (and favorite, she says) Division of the Arts writers project. She was the state's poet laureate from 2001 to 2007. As part of the Dover Day celebration that year, …

I am working with one of my clients who are looking for a reliable cleaner to join their team in Rochdale. We need someone who has high standards in cleaning. This role is initially on a contract basis.

Buon girono. Ignorant and dishonest people complain that the Bible is "sexist", but that is not true. In reality, the value of women is affirmed in the Bible. For instance, Jesus went against the cultural trends of his day by speaking to, and even teaching, women. Quite a contrast from Islam: Beat them until they straighten up. Addendum: Where are the feminists, the supporters of women's rights, huh?
I thought I would correct some lies in the original and have some fun with it.
By the way, the real original source for the picture is here.
Buona sera. I believe that I have reached a turning point in writing these articles, but more about that later.
A jerk on the third floor of the apartment building cranks up his stereo at all hours of the day or night. He does not appear to have a job. I thought he was sponging off his girlfriend, but she ran off weeks ago. Probably couldn't stand the noise. The local constabulary are worthless, as are the complex's management.
The crazy old crone next to the jerk on the third floor also seems to groove on making noise. Vacuuming the floor at night, pounding on the walls and floor at strange hours, pacing like an elephant at the Ant Stomping Festival and more. Weird. My favorite strange thing was hearing her yelling and cursing while I was coming home from work. Then I saw broken glass being flung out her patio door onto the sidewalk below.
Neil's workplace is a huge modern international corporation based in the United States, employing tens of thousands of people. And yet, their management principles are rooted in the Industrial Revolution; an employee's value is based on production numbers of one sort or another. Sure, it's reasonable to establish guidelines for productivity, but some people are in fear for their jobs because of unreasonable demands — demands that have the expectation of reading corporate nonsense e-mails, perusing training documents, consulting with superiors, having meetings and all the rest of the typical corporate nightmare. I, for one, do not accept that my worth is measured by bean counters. My worth comes from the Lord and doing my best to please him.
There ya go, three very irritating things that are on my mind. I have to admit that I take some satisfaction in venting on this stuff, capice?
This article is getting negative, innit?
I do not like being negative. Yes, some people positively get a charge out of conducting negativity, even if it's terminal... Are these electricity jokes doing anything for you?
Well, it's true, some people only write and talk about negative things. They are stress puppies, living to whine and complain. Who wants them around? I certainly do not.
There are people like those I have written about recently who live to hate, berate, mock and build themselves up by putting others down. They have little, if anything, constructive to say. The little bit of time that I spent reading their negative material brings me down as well, so I am going to go from seldom to never — or as close to "never" as I can get.
We need to involve ourselves with positive people. That's a common psychological technique to help your attitude and deal with depression, so I am not going to repeat it here.
What I need to do now, however, is say that we cannot avoid negativity altogether. Otherwise, problems would not be identified and solved. Problems come when negativity is excessive. If we spend too much time on glum reading material and bad news, it gets depressing. Even more so if we spend any more time than we have to in hanging around people who are too negative too often.
Listen, I don't care who you are, this is true: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (Philippians 4.8 NIV) Think about good stuff more than bad stuff, capice?
Now, I said that I believe I have reached a turning point in writing these articles. I have demonstrated in several posts that there are many Internet atheists who are irrational, vicious, hateful, incapable of reasoning, spiteful, morally bankrupt and brain damaged. Except for an article on occasion (and one or two are pending right now), I do not see a need to continue with it.
Anyone who wants to see my material on those subjects can simply do a search on "atheist" or "atheism" in the upper left search box, and then they can see how I slapped some of the Internet atheists silly, but they still could not understand basic reasoning. I have educated the public about those animals, and I cannot fight with them any longer because they refuse to learn. It's like trying to teach a pig to sing. My time is better spent in other pursuits.
Tweaked for wording later that same day.
Buon giorno. How low can you get? Norman the irrational, hate-filled troll made a remark to another irrational, hate-filled troll, completely off topic for the purpose of taking a cheap shot at yours truly, or will leave comments on Weblogs when I am not the topic of conversation. (I think he's still angry that I am his intellectual superior. But that is not a difficult accomplishment worth my bragging about.) Anyway, I get that. Being attacked, having petty Weblog articles written about what a bad man I am &c. is all a part of the territory.
As can be expected, I went off, and demanded that he prove his assertion (a challenge that he has yet to meet).
This adds to my belief that atheism leads to brain damage. It stupidifies, to use Matt Slick's word. But I think in that mix is hate. It's obvious that hate causes people to lose their focus and be unable to think clearly. Put the two together, and you get the two trolls that I am discussing right now. And others that I have discussed before.
Again, I ask any intelligent, thoughtful atheists: Why do you associate with types like this? Personally, I suspect that your silence is tacit approval of their actions, but never mind about that now.
So, I may add some remarks in a day or two in another post. After that, unless something changes radically, I am done with Norman. No more posts. I've had about a year of his attacks and irrationality. He wants to reject the love of God and head for Hell, and I am done with attempting to interfere with that journey.
To prevent whining, I am not allowing comments on this post.
I sincerely hope that you come to know and experience and live in the evidence of the love of Jesus Christ one day. I also hope that you can gain a sense of humor and ability to deal with all of these issues lightly. But first, o dark and troubled soul, you must see yourself for what you are- you're lost. ...It is only The Shepherd who can 'find' you. He came to seek and to save, that which was lost. That's YOU.
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. That's all of us until we receive him as Savior.

Distributel Fights Back Against Motion to Disclose Subscriber Information in File Sharing Case
Distributel, an independent ISP with services in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, and B.C., has fought back in a file sharing lawsuit launched by NGN Prima Productions, opposing a motion to disclose the names of subscribers alleged to have engaged in file sharing. It appears that NGN is using Canipre to identify alleged file sharers, the same company that has supplied information to Voltage Pictures in its case involving thousands of subscribers at TekSavvy. Distributel did not oppose a similar request in November 2012, but says in court documents filed today that several factors led to a change in position when NGN filed another request for more names.
First, Distributel was concerned with how NGN treated its subscribers, demanding a $1500 settlement in a notice claiming that subscribers could face up to $20,000 in damages. Distributel noted the lack of evidence for the claim made by NGN, relying on an expert analysis of BitTorrent to highlight the shortcomings. Moreover, Distributel says NGN is engaged in copyright trolling, citing the misrepresentation in the potential liability (the law now features a cap of $5,000 for non-commercial statutory damages) and the settlement demands that far exceed actual damages.

Sneakers (1992) Phil Alden Robinson, Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Sidney Poitier
Martin Bishop is the head of a group of experts who specialise in testing security systems. When he is blackmailed by Government agents into stealing a top secret black box, the team find themselves embroiled in a game of danger and intrigue. After they recover the box, they discover that it has the capability to decode all existing encryption systems around the world, and that the agents who hired them didn't work for the Government after all…
I was saddened that this movie had such a low rating. I've watched it many, many times over the years, and it continues to entertain. It is, perhaps, the last good "hacker" film (well, 23 (1998) also comes to mind, but that isn't widely available in English).
The math is believable (Janek's lecture makes sense), as is the technology (except for the Hollywood-ish decryption displays – but that's forgivable). The characters are among the most realistic in any of these movies (with the exception of Joey the lamer in Hackers (1995) – most accurate character in a hacking movie I've seen yet). They're each composites of well-known people from the 80s security scene. The techniques they use are the techniques of the business, especially in that era.
Now that computers have become such a big thing, I don't think it would be possible for Hollywood to produce another movie like this. Anything made now would have to be far more glamorous and unrealistic.
What's this movie got, if you don't care about any of that stuff? It's tremendously funny, cleverly written (every scene works overtime to say and do more than one thing), and beautifully shot and scored. (The opening scene and transition is wonderful) The acting is priceless. I've never met someone who didn't love this film. See it.

Scalzi's Writing – I am.
I was extremely impressed with his writing; I wish he would really write that trilogy, because I'd love to read it. But it made me interested to read more of his stuff, so over the second half of last week, I read his sci-fi trilogy that begins with Old Man's War, and wow.
The creativity and attention to detail here is incredible, and Scalzi's writing really is masterful. I think the first book is the best, followed by the third (The Last Colony) and then the second (The Ghost Brigades). The only thing I noticed in Scalzi's writing style that some might call a flaw is his tendency to "infodump" alternately every few pages: he'll go into a detailed explanation of something that will ultimately turn out to be somewhat related to the story. Don't get me wrong, these segments are just as well done as the rest, sometimes presenting some of the cleverest parts of the whole book, but they do break up the pace a bit.
I like Old Man's War the best partially because of this: those segments are less cumbersome with some specific features to help them out. I didn't actually notice it at all in Old Man's War until looking back after reading The Ghost Brigades, because first person point of view helps. Since the protagonist is there through these segments as a frame of reference, it is easier to get into and through them, which helps keep the pace going. This was the case for Old Man's War and The Last Colony, but The Ghost Brigades was written in third person for the obvious reason that its protagonist didn't appear until about a quarter of the way through the story. Unfortunately that means many of the "infodump" segments didn't really have a frame of reference to help keep the pacing (something that seemed to slow down the first part of the book before the protagonist appeared, as well). The tendency shows in The Shadow War of the Night Dragons also, but there the humor keeps it going as it does for Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.
Overall, though, wow. Scalzi is an excellent writer whose stuff you should read.
I picked up Zoe's Tale as many people did: not realizing that it is the same story as The Last Colony but from a different character's perspective. I will read it, but after a break, since The Last Colony is still a little too fresh on my mind.

Giulio Alfieri (* 10. Juli 1924 in Parma; † 20. März 2002 in Modena) war ein italienischer Automobil- und Zweiradingenieur. Alfieri prägte in den 1950er- und 1960er-Jahren die Modelle des Sportwagenherstellers Maserati; in der Geschichte der Marke wird diese Phase vielfach als "die Alfieri-Ära" bezeichnet.

Leben
Alfieri studierte am Polytechnikum Mailand. Nach dem Abschluss der Ausbildung arbeitete er zunächst in der Schiffsindustrie; hier entwickelte er Dampfturbinen. 1949 wechselte er zu Innocenti, wo er sich mit der Konstruktion von Motorrollern vom Typ Lambretta beschäftigte.

Ab dem 1. August 1953 arbeitete Alfieri für Maserati. Dort übernahm er 1955 den Posten des Chefingenieurs. Er zeichnete für die Technik einer Vielzahl bekannter und erfolgreicher Renn- und Straßensportwagen verantwortlich. Zu den von Alfieri konstruierten Rennwagen gehören das Formel-1-Modell 250F, der 300S und der Birdcage. Der 250F wird in der Literatur vielfach als Alfieris bestes Werk angesehen.

Mitte der 1950er-Jahre konstruierte Alfieri den 3500 GT, das erste in größeren Stückzahlen produzierte Modell Maseratis. Er hielt das Coupé, das für den Fortbestand der Marke von zentraler Bedeutung war, für seine beste Konstruktion. Weitere Straßensportwagen von Alfieri waren der Sebring, der Mistral, der Mexico, der Indy, der Quattroporte I, der Ghibli. Nach der Übernahme Maseratis durch Citroën übernahm Alfieri auch Entwicklungsarbeiten für den französischen Automobilhersteller. So konstruierte er unter anderem den Sechszylindermotor für den Citroën SM. Für Maserati entstand zudem der Bora, der erste Mittelmotor-Sportwagen der Marke. Alfieris letzte Maserati-Konstruktion war der Khamsin, ein klassischer Gran Turismo.

Als Maserati 1975 von Alejandro de Tomaso übernommen wurde, endete Alfieris 20-jährige Tätigkeit für das Modeneser Unternehmen. De Tomaso hatte bereits 1968 versucht, Maserati von den damaligen Eignern, der Familie Orsi, zu übernehmen. Das Vorhaben war in erster Linie am Widerstand Giulio Alfieris gescheitert. Nachdem de Tomaso im August 1975 das Unternehmen schließlich gekauft hatte, entließ er Alfieri noch am Tag der Geschäftsübernahme. Sein Nachfolger wurde Aurelio Bertocchi, der Sohn des langjährigen Maserati-Testfahrers Guerrino Bertocchi.

Alfieri wechselte daraufhin zu Lamborghini, wo er an der Entwicklung der S-Version des Countach sowie des Silhouette und seines Nachfolgers Jalpa 3500 mitwirkte. Alfieri war zudem an den ersten Überlegungen für einen Lamborghini-Geländewagen beteiligt. Aus diesem Projekt, das 1977 begann, wurde später der LM002. Alfieri blieb bis 1987 bei Lamborghini. Vorübergehend war er auch für Laverda tätig.

With my first book "Your Show Will Go Live in 5 Seconds" scheduled for release on November 2, 2009, one of the more daunting realizations I came to was the fact that there is an innumerable number of titles in what can only be referred to as the infinity of the publishing universe.
The advent of social media, self-publishing platforms and highly accessible distribution channels has provided the means for almost anyone to become a "published author." Despite these "breakthroughs," the sustainable value of any book (and its enduring success) is still heavily dependent on the caliber of the content between the covers.
In my case, the years of experience which has manifested itself in more than 350 papers and articles coupled with the opportunity to speak before audiences of up to 400 people has hopefully been translated into a book that represents a compelling, thought provoking read that will deliver valuable insight to its readers. I believe that it will.
In much the same fashion that my experience has provided me with the ability to leverage the latest technological resources to publish a quality book, Oco's on-demand Business Intelligence (BI) solutions also extends beyond the technological breakthroughs associated with today's SaaS solutions. Solutions which provide buyers with access to the real-world, real-time data that enables them to make best result purchasing decisions at the transactional level, and are representative of the transformation of the somewhat static ERP spend management tools into the on-demand spend intelligence solutions that are necessary to effectively operate in a complex, globalized market.
On today's segment "Beyond Business Intelligence Technology: The Importance of Domain Expertise" I will be welcoming Oco's CEO William (Bill) Copacino who has authored 3 books and more than 150 articles on supply chain management, to discuss the transformational changes that are redefining our understanding of Business Intelligence.
