Fly low-budget
Low-cost carriers are taking off in Hong Kong as Jetstar sets to base in the city
Aboard a crowded plane towards his Singapore weekend getaway, Mr Christopher Tin is already dreaming about the various delicacies the Lion City has to offer. But back in reality, instead of enjoying a sumptuous plate of Hainanese chicken rice, all he has is a jar of cookies while making do with the tight legroom his seat has offered. His only form of enjoyment? The kiss of the seatback when the person in front of him reclines.
Mr Tin, a Chinese-American expatriate living in Hong Kong, is among an increasing number of people travelling on low-cost carriers in Asia. Instead of driving passengers away by cutting legroom, charging for in-flight movies, desirable seats, food and drink and every single piece of checked baggage, cheap tickets of no more than $500 have proved to be very popular. By ditching traditional services, budget airlines have passed on huge cost-savings by offering low fares to passengers.
While global airline profits are expected to earn 60 per cent, of which its net income will grow to US$6.7 billion and from US$8.4 billion to US$4.1 billion, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Asia-Pacific airlines are bucking the trend and expected to earn profits of US$2.3 billion.
New low-cost carriers including Jetstar, Tiger Airways, and AirAsia have popped up one after another in cities like Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok over the past decade. Two leading low-cost carriers AirAsia and Jetstar even managed to beat aviation giants Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines in brand reputation and trust in a survey by AC Nielsen and an industry magazine in 2012.
"The Asia Pacific market has strong growth potential," said Mr Albert Tjoeng, the Singapore-based Assistant Director for Corporate Communications of IATA.
He said research results by IATA show 37 per cent of passengers around the globe would travel on routes to, from or within Asia Pacific in 2015. But most importantly, more than one fourth of the rising number would be generated by China and Hong Kong, being the aviation hub of the region, is expected to gain from this boom. He expects the 40 million passengers flying through the territory every year to double within the next decade.
The budget airlines
Spring Airlines, China's only low-cost carrier, started Shanghai-Hong Kong services in 2010. According to its website, the carrier offers round-trip tickets for no more than $200, less than one third of the fares charged by Cathay Pacific.
"Our flights are at least 90 per cent full on most occasions," said Mr Alan Kwok, a salesman of Spring Airlines Hong Kong. The airline has launched seven more routes from Hong Kong to hubs across China over the last four years and plans to start new flights in the future.
Oasis Hong Kong, Hong Kong's first low-cost carrier. It went bankrupt in 2008 after only two years of operation. Its collapse was partly owing to the surge in fuel prices, which account for around half of its operation costs.
Jetstar Hong Kong, soon to be launched as a locally-based low-cost carrier in this year by Australia's biggest airline Qantas. A joint venture between Qantas and China Eastern Airlines, Jetstar will become the second low-cost carrier based in greater China. The company is still seeking approval for its licenses to start its business in the territory.
According to aviation experts, it is unlikely for Jetstar to meet with the same fate as Oasis. He said that unlike Oasis, which was a long-haul operator, Jetstar's routes are typically under five hours and is far less likely to be adversely affected by a sudden shrinkage to demand.
Keeping costs down
In order to keep their prices competitive, low cost-carriers have always been dedicated to keeping operation costs at a minimum.
"Some airlines reduced costs by selling tickets online or via telephone to avoid travel agents commission fees," said Mr Kwok, the Spring Airlines salesman. "It is possible by skipping middleman agencies and reducing the number of employees."
In addition, some budget airlines fly to obscure airports, which can be several hours away from the actual destination in order to lower landing fees, said Dr Fu Xiaowen, the Associate Professor in Logistics Studies at the Polytechnic University.
But despite various cost-cutting measures that may turn perspective custoemrs away, Dr Fu believes that low-carriers such as Jetstar will survive as it is already a well-financed airline and has already operated throughout the Asia-Pacific for nearly a decade.
According to Mr Rod Duclos, Assistant Professor at the University of Science and Technology, it may take years of marketing efforts for low-cost carriers to attract traffic to their websites and be considered by customers as the brand awareness of conventional airlines such as Cathay is way higher than its counterparts.
Ms Fiona Campbell, an English businesswoman who has taken Spring Airlines on many occasions, believed that the local population shows a distinct lack of knowledge and understanding towards low-cost carriers.
"Europeans do travel a lot so flying on a budget airline is just like taking a coach," she said. "But it's completely different here."
Moreover, China's aviation industry is tightly regulated by the government and is currently dominated by three state-owned airlines, which may prove to be a stumbling block for airlines vying for a stake in the largely untapped market.
Aviation experts also points out that Hong Kong's skies may not be big enough to sustain the flocking-ins of low-cost carriers as both runways in the Hong Kong International Airport are already running at close to full capacity.
One possible solution to the capacity problem is to build terminals specifically for budget airlines, according to Dr Fu, the Polytechnic University professor. He cited the example of both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur which had opened Low Cost Carrier Terminals providing only basic facilities.
"No duty-free stores and no coffee while waiting for boarding," he said.

Der Sary-Tschelek ((), auch Sarytschelek, wörtlich "Gelbe Schale") ist ein 4,92 km² großer Bergsee im Gebiet Dschalalabat im Westen von Kirgisistan.

Der See befindet sich nördlich der Siedlung Arkit, dem Hauptquartier des Parks, am östlichen Ende des Tschatkalgebirges, im Westen des Tian-Shan-Gebirges. Das Sary-Tschelek-Biosphärenreservat enthält sechs weitere, kleinere Seen unterhalb des Sary-Tschelek.

Der See liegt auf einer Höhe von  über dem Meeresspiegel. Er verdankt seine Entstehung einem Erdbeben vor rund 10.000 Jahren, bei dem der Kodscha-Ata-Fluss durch eine Steinlawine aufgestaut wurde. Der See ist 7,5 km lang in allgemein nord-südlicher Ausrichtung und bis zu 2280 m breit. Die Durchschnittsbreite beträgt etwa 650 m. An seiner tiefsten Stelle ist er 234 m tief. Die Ufer sind felsig. Im Winter gefriert der See, und die Wassertemperatur sinkt auf 0–4 °C. Im Hochsommer erreicht das Wasser eine Temperatur von 20 °C. Der See wird durch Schnee- und Gletscherschmelzwasser gespeist. Einziger Abfluss ist der Kodscha-Ata-Fluss, welcher in den rechten Naryn-Nebenfluss Karasuu mündet.

Ein 30.000 ha großes Gebiet in der Umgebung des Sees ist seit 1959 als Naturschutzgebiet geschützt und seit 1978 von der UNESCO als Biosphärenreservat anerkannt. Das Biosphärenreservat Sary-Tschelek beherbergt eine Vielzahl geschützter Pflanzen und Tiere. Für Besucher stehen Gasthütten zur Verfügung.

Julius Caesar hip-hop style? Hair stylists creating hairdos from Anthony and Cleopatra? Visual artists, musicians and actors in a creative collective mashup titled "The Tempest Remix?" Those are just a few of the wild, wacky and ultimately illuminating interpretations of Shakespeare's entire canon of 38 plays that St. Louisans can take in as part of the fifth annual Shake 38, Shakespeare Festival's celebration of The Bard's birthday, this being his 450th birthday anniversary. The festival runs from Wednesday, April 23-27 at a variety of not-so-traditional locations throughout the city.
The festival kicks off with The Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra on Wednesday, April 23 with a musical "reaction" to "Love's Labour's Lost." The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the SFSTL office at 5715 Elizabeth Avenue. In addition to the creative musical interpretation by Rats & People, guests at the kickoff party will get a look at the Shakespeare Festival's "Cakeway to the West" birthday cake, developed by artist Andy Cross, awarded to the festival as part of St. Louis' 250 anniversary year-long celebration. As Sir Toby Belch said, "Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?" There will be actual cake for attendees, but we can't speak for the ale, forsooth.
In addition to the aforementioned presentations, other highlights include the premiere of a new web series based on "The Taming of the Shrew", a performance of "Measure for Measure" using the original pronunciation audiences would have heard in Shakespeare's day (hear what that sounds like here), and the ever-popular Blind Shake—where anyone can get their inner-actor on by taking a role in the reading of a Shakespearean play. This year, Blind Shake takes place at Ranoush on Delmar.
There's something for everyone, whether you enjoy singing, dancing, painting or performance of a comedy, tragedy, including the problem plays (King John anyone?). For the complete lineup of the events in this year's one-of-a-kind Shakespeare birthday celebration, visit the Shakespeare Festival St. Louis website.

Lesson 14: Powerful Mother Lesson Plan (PDF, 732 KB)
With gelede masquerades, the Yoruba pay tribute to "our mothers," those who hold extraordinary powers to effect both the positive and negative. Along with their ability to give life, women are known to possess powers to end it—they can benefit their society, bringing fertility and prosperity, and conversely they can be harmful, causing disease, scarcity, and calamities. Yoruba acknowledge this dual power in song, dance, and poetry.
With elderly women leading the gelede society, both men and women are active participants. Although the masquerade was first danced by a woman, today the dancers are all men. The mask faces (fig. 3.6 and 3.7) are those of older women with serene and composed expressions.
The gelede association also addresses issues of topical importance. Many gelede masks have a carved superstructure depicting current events or signs of modernity, such as motorcycles or politicians. These anecdotal scenes emerging from the heads of "our mothers" elicit audience discussion. Such performances are still very common today, and the topics depicted may range from public health to political controversies.
Eloi Lokossou is a prolific Yoruba artist who creates works for gelede in the south central Benin Republic. His gelede masks typically show the calm face of a woman surmounted by a statement about wealth, status, and modernity. On this contemporary mask (fig. 3.7) the serenity of a woman's face contrasts with the vitality and modernity of the superstructure. Others works by this artist depict traditional stories of the Yoruba peoples.
1. Grouping Gelede Masks
African scholar Henry Drewal (1978, 18) places gelede masks into four categories:
Those that recognize respected members of the society, such as hunters, warriors, drummers, market women, and particularly the powerful "mothers."
Those showing hierarchy, usually with several figural compositions or motifs of animals.
Those that commemorate mythical events or people.
Satirical masks making fun of a person or situation.
Activity. Students can design and draw a mask for one or more of the categories, making them appropriate for their own location and situations. What members of their community are respected enough to warrant a mask in their honor? How can they show the status of an important person or situation in a composition suitable for a mask? What events from their community would be worthy of commemoration in a mask? What situations or people can rightfully be satirized?
2. Gelede and Today's World
Another purpose of the gelede association is to address issues of social relevance. Many gelede masks have a carved superstructure depicting current events; some are provocative such as those that address controversy about a new vaccine; others display signs of modernity, such as an airplane, a politician, or a motorcycle as in the mask in the Art and Power section of Intersections (fig. 3.7). These anecdotal scenes elicit discussion among audience members.
Activity. After making a drawing of a placid, calm woman for the base of a mask, the student should design its superstructure around a social issue or current event (as mentioned above), but pertinent to the student's world. These may include issues of ecology, education, and politics. How will the composed, cool, simply drawn face contrast with the busy, chaotic upper part of the mask?
3. Gender Roles
The gelede honors powerful women—elders, ancestors, and deities. A Yoruba woman's status traditionally has been based on her wealth and her reputation as a trader, rather than on her husband's importance. Today in many parts of Africa the boundaries drawn between men's and women's roles and occupations are no longer absolute.
Activity. Do we retain perceived boundaries in our society? Have students divide a paper vertically into two columns and label them "male" and "female." Call out a long list of professions, pausing only slightly after each example to give students just enough time to write it in the column that they associate with the occupation. (Your list may include teacher, principal, doctor, nurse, security guard, police officer, lawyer, judge, business executive, secretary, artist, musician, soldier, chef, waiter, writer, physicist, mail carrier, fire fighter, pilot, flight attendant, mayor, governor, president etc.) Discuss the responses. Do students believe that there are still traditional roles for men and women? Did their responses reflect tradition or their own experiences? They will undoubtedly find so many exceptions to the "convention," that the validity of stereotypes will be put into question.
Activity. There have been many powerful women in the lives of students, some personally known to them and others playing roles in the larger society. Students can study important women in the fields of government, education, business, religion, and, perhaps most importantly, in their own families. Have students write an homage to one of these women.
Activity. Students may research the leadership roles played by powerful women in Africa, including the first elected woman president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia who was elected in 2006.
4. Praises and Proverbs
Gelede performances typically include male leaders singing and reciting proverbs, praise poems, riddles, and jokes that invoke the powers of "our mothers" and comment on actions of people in the community.
Activity. Praise poems, important in celebrations of the gelede association, are also sung or chanted by most other West African peoples. Praise poems may take many forms, but typically the person being praised is repeatedly named, not only by actual name, but by nicknames and descriptive substitutes for that name. The subject's family, community, position, deeds and occasionally misdeeds, and his or her ancestors may also be named. Rhyming is not important in a praise poem, but rhythm is, and the poem may take the form of a chant (often accompanied by drum beats), or a call-and-response form of song. You may structure original praise poems for your students with the above information, and suggest the number of lines, reminding students to repeat the subject's name or variation of the name.
Activity. Women are the subject of many Yoruba proverbs, some of which are quoted in Mineke Schipper's Source of All Evil: African Proverbs and Sayings on Women (1991, 37–41). These include 'Mother is gold, father is mirror,' meaning that a mirror is fragile and unreliable because it may break at any time. 'The child who bites the back of his mother will find no other willing to carry him.' 'One without a mother should never get a sore on his back' suggests that one's mother can be counted on to remedy a difficult situation. Students can find and interpret more proverbs of the Yoruba and of other peoples of Africa, and can collect proverbs familiar to them that relate to women.

It is that of Derek Bird's Military service in Northern Ireland from 1977 to 1989.
Apparently Bird acquired the nickname "Birdy" (a nickname reported in the press) after spotting wounded IRA member Francis Hughes hiding in woodland during a search that followed his escape from a firefight with British soldiers, the result of a stake-out. It is alleged that soon afterwards Bird received 'Special Observation Patrol' training and was involved in the operation that resulted in the death of Francis Bradley on 18 February 1986.  (https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Derek_Bird#cite_note-1) It is further alleged that there were/are a number of ex-army men among his victims and/or intended victims, who knew all about his army service and who ribbed him mercilessly about it and his other problems.
However, more than three months after that announcement and the subsequent Cumbria rampage by Derek Bird, there has been no follow-up by Northern Ireland's Chief Coroner John Lecky. The silence is deafening.
It is clear that, if the Trowbridge Ford allegations are true, then they have very considerable bearing on what happened in Cumbria on 2 June 2010. They pose a whole raft of questions which the authorities would clearly prefer not to answer.
The problem is that to date (6 September 2010), nobody appears to be asking them.
Well spotted Peter. That makes more sense than the 'no apparent reason' presently put out about the event.

Linenfold is a form of relief carving used in wood paneling which imitates vertical folds of drapery. This process was likely Flemish in origin, it was widely used in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Period in English furniture during the reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901. Consists of a resurrection of many previous periods and revival imitations including: Gothic, Tudor, Elizabethan, Rococo, and Neoclassic style. This period had a focus on dark woods, heavy fabrics, embellishment, engagement with newly developed imitation materials that were facilitated by the Industrial Revolution, and a tendency towards eclecticism.
Mahogany is a straight grained hard wood with silky texture, ranging in color from dark brown to red. Furniture made from mahogany became popular in Britain from Mid-18th Century on, spreading throughout Europe.
A dense hardwood valued in furniture making for its durability and strength. It varies in shade depending on variety and can range from a lighter wood (white oak) to a deep reddish brown (red oak). It became popular during the Tudor period in England and remains a popular wood variety.

HuffPost Arts&Culture is celebrating Women's History Month with the help of our favorite artists -- female artists, of course. Every day of March we're rolling out a new key player in the art world with a playing card... Get it? Print them out for your own amazing (although probably a bit flimsy) card deck or use them to stay fresh on your favorite women in art.
In order to celebrate Day One, we've decided to go big with our favorite feminist artist and lover of great dinner parties, Judy Chicago.
WHO: Judy Chicago
WHAT: Chicago's most famed work is "The Dinner Party," a large table with 39 place settings, each honoring a historical female who kicked ass, from activists to goddesses. The multimedia artist also works intimately with "macho" art forms like pyrotechnics and boat building, minimalist painting and colorful textiles. For this reason, she's our King of Hearts.
WHERE: You can see "The Dinner Party" at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art inside the Brooklyn Museum.
WHY: Not only do Chicago's rainbow-happy works provide us with endless joy, but the revolutionary artist coined the term "feminist art" and in the 1970s founded the first feminist art program in the United States.

In the Know: New apartments coming to Surfside and Veterans Parkway in Cape Coral
David Dorsey
The News-Press
Four years ago, a real estate developer from Wilmington, North Carolina, named Lowell Zimmer hired a real estate broker from Fort Myers named Alex Henderson as a bird dog for land.
All these years later, earth is finally moving.
Tentatively called Surfside Corner, the 228-unit apartment complex began construction last month on almost 20 acres at 2330 Southwest 23rd Place in Cape Coral. It's near the corner of Surfside Boulevard and Veterans Parkway, across from Shops at Surfside and across Veterans from a Lee Health outpatient clinic.
In April, Zimmer Development Co. closed on the land for $6.36 million, an off-the-market sale brokered by Henderson, who was almost 25 when he began this endeavor and almost 29 now. A real estate investment company from the Middle East sold the property.
Henderson spent almost three years scouring Southwest Florida for the right land at the right place and at the right time.
"Nothing really shook out until this one," Henderson said.

It was the highest-priced piece of real estate Henderson had sold until June, when he brokered River's Edge, a mobile home community in North Fort Myers, for $6.9 million.
Henderson and his colleague, Max Molloy, form the commercial real estate department for Schooner Bay Realty.
Henderson finally gets to see the fruits of his long labor in Cape Coral, where bulldozers are clearing highly visible land to construct the apartments. This should provide him a greater sense of accomplishment than it did, he said.
"I'm guess I'm kind of strange," Henderson said. "There's obviously a sense of accomplishment, but there's a deeper drive. This was the first substantial mark in my career. I've had some other big deals.
"By the time the third quarter ends, we will have closed more than $20 million worth of land. And so the $6.36 million deal is all well and great, but in terms of what's overall on the market, it's not even a blip on the radar. I guess I have higher aspirations."
This apartment complex, being built by Essian Construction out of Orlando, will have a lake, a fitness center, yoga studio, billiards room, community conference room and resort-style pool. The monthly rents have yet to be announced, as Zimmer plans on doing a market study.
The sale of the land never would have happened without Henderson forging the connections to get his foot in the door with a developer who saw Cape Coral, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, as an opportunity.

"I got to know one of Lowell's college friends quite well," said Henderson, an FGCU graduate. "One thing led to another, and he made the introduction to Lowell and I."
Surfside Corner is about 18 months from completion. A website has yet to be created to begin securing leases but should come online in about a year.

LONE STAR BUILDING UPDATE: The long-vacant former Lone Star Steakhouse that received four code violations from Lee County on Aug. 6, a day after I first asked about it, is starting to come around in terms of visual appearance.
Benderson Development, which has owned the building since 2010, has painted over the graffiti, cut the grass and picked up the garbage. It also painted over the sign that used to have the Lone Star logo on it.
I cleared the air last week with Mark Chait, the leasing agent with Benderson. He wanted me to clarify he had to turn away suitors for that building because current land-use restrictions prevent Benderson from leasing it as office space.
The adjacent shopping center, Cypress Trace, is owned by Site Centers.
"There is an easement agreement between the two properties that restricts the uses on our property," Chait said. "There are many businesses that we are not allowed to put there."
I am waiting on Lee County to provide me some more specifics on what types of businesses are allowed on that property and will update that as soon as I get it. The county also is scheduled to return to the property for code inspections soon.
Benderson has made and will continue to make efforts to improve the look of its property, Chait said.
"We would love nothing better than to put up a new sign tomorrow with a new tenant," Chait said. "We have a great team that works on this. We're very well aware of the property. We want to get a return on our investment. To intimate that we want to keep it vacant is preposterous.
"We will certainly attend to what the issues are. There has been significant cleanup done in very recent times. We are known for how we upkeep our property. Obviously, we need to get a new tenant for this property. We want it to be an attribute for Fort Myers. We want this property for the long-term. We're not looking for a short-term solution."

FORMER CIRCLE-K REMOVING GAS TANKS: The former Circle-K gas station at 3038 Cleveland Ave., in Fort Myers at the corner with Sunset Place, is on the market for $495,000. Work to remove the gas tanks from below the ground has been completed, and the security fence has been removed.
"It will be re-purposed for different retail," said Bruce Bicciche, the listing agent at LandQwest. The canopies and the branding also have been removed from the property as Circle-K prepares to sell the six-tenths of an acre of land.
Bicciche said he envisioned that site becoming a small fast-food restaurant or a used car dealership.

Intel: 4K PC monitor prices could fall below $400 this year
By Konrad Krawczyk	 June 4, 2014 10:37AM PST
PC tech giant Intel says it's possible that the price of 4K monitors to drop significantly, falling to under $400 by the end of this year.
Intel is partnering with PC display makers, including ViewSonic and TPV, to make its 4K monitor pricing ambitions a reality. That's according to Kirk Skaugen, Intel's PC Client Group senior vice president and general manager. Skaugen commented on the price of future 4K displays at Computex 2014 in Taipei, which is wrapping up today. TPV makes PC monitors under two names: AOC and Envision.
Intel is also partnering with PC OEMs like MSI to develop all-in-one PCs with 4K displays priced below $999 by the end of the year. However, it's unclear how Intel and the firms that it's partnering with plan to go about accomplishing these goals.
We suspect that the introduction of 5th-generation Intel Broadwell processors later this year will permit OEMs to lean on 4th-gen Haswell chips in these 4K all in ones. The Haswell processors will likely be priced lower than they currently are, as soon as Broadwell chips begin to hit the market, which in turn will allow MSI and other Intel partners to meet their pricing objectives.
Though the prospect of having a 4K monitor as part of your PC's setup is tantalizing, it wasn't until the last 6 months or so that they've become relatively affordable, with multiple manufacturers releasing 28-inch 4K displays for around $700. Although that's a huge drop from the multi-kilobuck prices initially attached to 4K PC monitors, $700 is still way too much for many people to spend on just a display alone.
At this point, Dell, Asus, and Samsung have each introduced sub-$1,000 4K monitors to the market.

It is a crime to Drive Under the Influence of Drugs, defined as any substance other than alcohol which could affect the muscles, nervous system or brain. This can include prescription or over-the-counter drugs if they impair driving ability. As there is no BAC (blood alcohol concentration) for a DUI Drug, offenses are treated differently than alcohol arrests. A DUI Drug investigation involves the use of an officer trained to recognize driver impairment under the influence of drugs.

SDSU Extension hosts Seedstock Symposium June 27-28 in Sioux Falls
FFLIVESTOCK
BROOKINGS - Each year about 1.5 million calves are born in South Dakota. SDSU Extension is hosting a Seedstock Symposium June 27-28 in Sioux Falls at the SDSU Extension Regional Center to provide producers with research-based information on the use of the tools and technologies to improve the feeding and reproductive efficiency of those calves.
"Producers have been utilizing ratios & EPD's, to make changes to their herds for more than 30 years. There are new tools available due to the mapping of the bovine genome. These tools can help producers make more accurate mating decisions thus making changes to their operations at a much faster rate," said Heather Gessner, SDSU Extension Livestock Business Management Field Specialist. "Feed costs represent the single largest production cost to the cow/calf or feedlot operation. Enhancing efficiency has benefits to the industry as a whole."
Symposium Speakers & Topics
The following speakers and topics will be covered during the two-day symposium held at the SDSU Extension Regional Center located in Sioux Falls at 2001 E 8th Street.
· Mike MacNeil, Delta G
· Michael Gonda, South Dakota State University · Bob Weaber , Kansas State University
· Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska
· Mark Allan, Trans Ova Genetics Larry Kuehn, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center
· Bob Cushman, U. S. Meat Animal Research Center Jim Reecy, Iowa State University - Genetics of Disease Susceptibility;
· Joe Cassady, South Dakota State University - My Vision of the Future of Animal Breeding; and
· Robbi Pritchard, South Dakota State University - My Vision of the Future of Animal Breeding.
"The Symposium is designed to move all producers to a higher level of understanding about DNA & genetic testing. We will start at the ground floor and move up through the two days," Gessner said. "There will be something for everyone."
"Tremendous progress has been made from the early and mid 20th century when all evaluation was done visually, to the 1970's when the first national sire evaluations were published, to today's use of genomic evaluation. It is this most recent change that is especially exciting for commercial and purebred producers," said Tyler Melroe, Past-President and Board Member of the S.D. Beef Breeds Council. "
The ability to select unproven seedstock with increasingly higher levels of reliability marks significant progress. Learning how to utilize this data will increase our rate of genetic improvement in both the purebred and commercial sectors."
In addition to industry and university speakers there will be a Product Showcase Panel to highlight some of the products available to producers as well as a trade show where producers can visit with the symposium sponsors and industry representatives. An additional Producer Panel will explain how they implemented DNA information into their operations.
To register visit http://bit.ly/16g8KaX by June 15, 2013 or mail check to SDSU Extension Attn. Seedstock, 2001 E. 8th Street, Sioux Falls, SD 57103. Registration fee is $75 per person and $100 after deadline. Rooms reserved at Country Inn & Suites by Carlson, 200 E 8th Street, reserved until June 6th, $77.00 + tax; this rate available after June 6, if available, 605-373-0153.

Russia Wins More Olympic Gold, But Has Sole Track-And-Field Athlete Suspended
August 14, 2016 00:51 GMT
Russian long jumper Darya Klishina said she had proven she's a clean athlete many times after the decision by track and field's governing body on August 13.
Russia has won more gold at the Rio Olympics, but had its sole track and field athlete suspended from the games.
Russian long jumper Darya Klishina said she had proven she's a clean athlete many times and felt betrayed after the decision by track and field's governing body on August 13.
She's appealed the decision by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which expects a ruling before the Olympic long-jump competition starts on August 16.
The federation didn't say why Klishina was banned but she acknowledged that it's related to Russia's widespread doping scandal. Klishina, who has trained in the United States, was previously the only Russian allowed to compete in track and field.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko called Klishina's ban a "provocation."
"Their target now is Russian sports," Mutko told the TASS news agency on August 14.
In related news, the World Anti-Doping Agency said Russia whistle-blower Yuliya Stepanova's account for the database that tracks athletes for drug testing has been hacked.
The agency said Stepanova's password was "illegally obtained, which allowed a perpetrator to access her account on ADAMS" -- the name for the database.
Stepanova, an 800-meter runner, and her husband provided evidence of widespread doping in Russian track and field.
At the games on August 13, Russia won its fourth fencing gold medal, beating Ukraine in the women's team sabre event.
It was the seventh overall medal in fencing for the Russians, by far the most of any country.
Top-ranked fencer Sofia Velikaya went undefeated to lead the way.
The United States took the bronze in the event. The U.S. team included Muslim-American fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first U.S. Olympian to wear a hijab during competition.
Iran won its second weightlifting gold on August 13. Iranian Sohrab Moradi topped the podium in the men's 94-kilogram category.
Moradi -- who previously served a two-year ban after testing positive for methadone -- dominated the event with a combined total of 403 kilograms.
Elsewhere, Uladzislau Hancharou of Belarus won the Olympic gold medal in the men's trampoline, topping defending Olympic champion Dong Dong of China.
Hancharou posted a score of 61.745 during his final set on August 13, the 20-year-old pumping his fist in triumph before finishing his dismount.
In boxing, Russia's Yevgeny Tishchenko will take on Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit for the heavyweight gold after both won their semifinal bouts on August 13. Tishchenko beat Rustam Tulaganov of Uzbekistan and Levit beat Cuba's Erislandy Savon.
In other news, Olympic officials explained what caused the water at the swimming pools at the games to turn from blue to green -- an accidental dump of hydrogen peroxide.
A contractor added 80 liters of hydrogen peroxide to the diving and water-polo pools on August 5, but organizers only found out on August 9 when the water in the diving pool turned green from its typical blue during the women's 10-meter platform final.
According to organizers, the addition of hydrogen peroxide neutralized the chlorine and allowed algae to bloom.
The green pools have become a huge headache for organizers of the Rio Games, becoming the butt of "swamp" jokes among the millions of spectators in the stands and watching in television.
Some athletes have complained about itchy eyes.
Officials said the pools will be refilled.

Amplifying Voices & Advancing Society: Mamie & Kenneth Clark's Doll Studies
Dr Kenneth Clark and a doll study participant.

Social theorist Patricia Hill Collins notes that "challenging power structures from the inside, working the cracks within the system… requires learning to speak multiple languages of power convincingly". We at Zebra Strategies believe in the essential nature of speaking these multiple languages, in order to advocate for underserved communities and amplify their voices. This February, we're looking at some of the many great contributions made by African Americans to research, understanding and advancement.
Drs. Kenneth & Mamie Clark were psychologists who studied children's attitudes about race, and the impact of segregation and racism on self-perception. Their landmark studies in the 1940s and 1930s had a lasting impact not just on legislation, but on how research can be conducted in an empathetic, thoughtful way that registers with the participants.
Mamie Phipps first studied self-perception in black children as a graduate student at Howard University, where she met and married Kenneth Clark. Her master's thesis "The Development of Consciousness of Self in Negro Pre-School Children" was influenced by her work with children in an all-black nursery school. Together, the Clark's extended Mamie's thesis research on self-identification through a series of studies, including their famous doll experiments.

In their doll experiments, the Clark's interviewed African-American children attending segregated schools in Washington DC, versus those in integrated schools in New York. The child would be presented with white and black dolls. As Kenneth Clark recalled in 1985, he would ask, "show me the doll that you like to play with… the doll that's a nice doll… the doll that's a bad doll". The study found that the majority of African-American children from segregated schools rejected the black doll. When those boys and girls were then told "now show me the doll that's most like you", some became "emotionally upset at having to identify with the doll that they had rejected." Some even stormed out of the room or refused to answer the question.
The Clark's were asked to repeat their experiment in Clarendon County, South Carolina, were one of the five cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education was focused. While the results were the same, the Clarks noted that the style of reaction differed by location. Dr Clark noted that the reactions of children living in the north, were different from those living in the south. He said, "the children in the north were more overtly emotionally rejecting", whereas "the children in the south did not reject the inferior… in fact, they sort of accepted this as part of the realities in life that they were living".
Their experiment helped lead to the Supreme Court's monumental decision in Brown v. Board of Education, demanding racial integration in American public schools. At the time, social science findings were not often brought up in the nation's highest court. During preparations for the cases that made up Brown, other civil rights lawyers were worried that the justices would be offended if they were subjected to tales of dolls and crying children. But the N.A.A.C.P. chief counsel, and later Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall dismissed these warnings - and in 1954 he was proven right.
When Brown was decided, the court cited the doll study as a factor in its deliberations. US Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, in writing the Court's opinion, noted that the legal separation gave children " feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone". After the court handed down its judgement in May 1954, at a celebratory dinner Mr. Marshall toasted to the Clark's and demanded of his once-skeptical colleagues, "now, apologize!"
A participant chooses the white doll.
To put the importance of the Clarks' studies into context, the science accepted during the time preceding the Clarks' studies is now known as psychology's "era of scientific racism". Psychologist Alexandra Rutherford says, it was "literally the height of a period in psychology marked by the study of racial difference in intelligence, with intelligence presumed to be innate and biologically based". The Clarks instead treated each child as inherently valid, while looking outward at how factors of society could affect one's self-perception at such a crucial developmental age.
It's important to note that while the Brown v. Board of Education ruling marked a massive shift in legislative racism, it did not herald the end of informal school segregation. Indeed, it's passing marked the start of the Massive Resistance movement, which included closing schools rather than desegregating them, and the establishment of "segregated academies": private schools founded by white parents to avoid having their children enrolled in desegregated public schools. Some of these schools still exist, most with low percentages of minority students even today. Studies show that public schools are nearly as segregated as they were in the late 1960s. About a third of all Black and Latino students attend what the Civil Rights Project classifies as hyper-segregated schools, while about a third of all white students attend schools which are 90-100% white.
Similarly, in 2005, filmmaker Kiri Davis recreated the doll study for her documentary A Girl Like Me. Despite the many changes in society, Davis found the same results as the Drs. Clark did in their study of the 1930s and 1940s. This type of continued study and research is essential to understanding and amplifying the voices of those not always heard, or listened to, in the dominant society.
Research like this is essential to understanding people and their perspectives. Like the Clarks, Zebra often finds that similar or identical studies conducted in different areas, or with differing populations, can produce different results. Studying these results better enables us to understand the communities at large, and which approaches are more effective for different communities.
Drs. Mamie and Kenneth Clark.

Staying ahead of influenza is the goal behind the Illinois Department of Public Health's recommendation that Illinoisans receive a flu shot by the end of October.
With the flu seasons typically starting in October – and factoring in the two-week delay from "shot to protection" – it's not too early for patients to receive the influenza vaccine right now!
Based on data from the past two flu seasons, there is still concerns about the effectiveness of the nasal spray vaccine. So for the 2017-2018 season, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is recommending the flu shot and not the nasal spray.

History Shows Us How Government Will Respond to Next Downturn
By Grover Norquist
Donald Trump does have one arrow in his quiver that he borrowed from Herbert Hoover: tariffs
SourceComposite: Sean Culligan/OZY. Image: Getty
If the past is any guide … don't hold your breath for a quick or easy fix.
The Next Recession: Consequences of the next economic slowdown.The Next Recession: Consequences of the next economic slowdown.
How will the federal government react to the next recession? The safest answer to this question since 1929 has been: "It'll make it worse, deeper, longer." But that wasn't always the case.
Remember the Great Recession of 1921? Between 1920 and 1921, gross national product fell by 24 percent, unemployment topped 15 percent, industrial production fell nearly 32 percent and wholesale prices fell by 20 percent.
Compare this to the milder but hysterically named "Great Recession" of 2007–09, when gross domestic product dropped by 2.4 percent (not 24 percent as in 1921). Unemployment reached 10 percent in 2009, nowhere near 15 percent, and prices fell 2.4 percent (not 20 percent).
Perhaps you don't remember the 1921 Great Recession because President Warren G. Harding and his Republican House and Senate didn't try to throw money at it, raise taxes, fix wages or prices or control credit. They did a pretty good approximation of "nothing." Harding balanced the budget, unleashed no "stimulus spending" and kept interest rates at 5 percent from 1920 to 1921. Result: The downturn lasted just 18 months.
Panic does not become a recession or depression unless the government jumps in to fix things.
By 1923, unemployment was down to 2.4 percent, and real output had recovered — not unlike many of the "panics" in the decades before. The takeaway? Panic does not become a recession or depression unless the government jumps in to fix things.
Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt did a bipartisan tag team of tax, spend and regulate in reaction to the economy beginning to shrink in August 1929 and the collapse of the stock market on Black Thursday, Oct. 24, 1929. Hoover passed the protectionist Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. In 1929, American exports totaled $5.5 billion but fell to $1.7 billion after 60 nations enacted counter-tariffs.
Hoover hiked government spending, which economist John Maynard Keynes suggested might work. From 1930 to 1931, the federal government's share of the GNP increased by about a third. Price controls were placed on farmers, and unemployment topped 12 percent after all this fixing. And as a Parthian shot, Hoover enacted the Revenue Act of 1932, reducing tax exemptions, ending the earned income tax credit and hiking tax rates. The top rate rose from 25 to 65 percent. Corporate rates rose from 12 to north of 14 percent, and the death tax — imposed to fund the Civil War — was increased. A 10 percent gas tax was also imposed.
FDR arrived to do more of the same with similar results. He devalued the dollar by 40 percent, seized all gold held by Americans and established federal regulation of prices, wages and work hours. His reemployment agreement suggested a minimum wage, a 35-hour workweek for industrial workers and 40 hours for management.
FDR increased the top tax rate to 79 percent. Excise taxes were placed on alcohol, cigarettes, candy and soft drinks. His Agricultural Adjustment Act gave farmers subsidies, and 10 million acres of crops were pulled out of production, while 6 million pigs were slaughtered — all thanks to the government's prowess in production planning.
Government spending surged, but so did unemployment while the economy continued to shrink. Never before or since has the government done so much to end a contraction. Never before or since has the recession lasted that long.
How long did the Great Depression last? Civilian unemployment did not fall below the 1929 level of 3.2 percent until 1943. The stock market did not regain its Jan. 1, 1929, level until January 1953. The economy did grow at 8 percent in 1939 after contracting 3.3 percent in 1938.
So what will the feds do in the next recession? What we have learned is that it depends very much on who is running the government.
The Democrats have 20 candidates running for president promising to replay the "reforms" of FDR. Pro-union labor laws. Higher tax rates. More spending. The Green New Deal could cost more than all current federal spending combined, which this year is $4.4 trillion.
This was FDR's approach, and while it did not lead to economic growth, it did cement the Democratic Party into power in Congress for 60 years. Labor unions were forced onto much of the workforce. Union dues were recycled into Democratic Party coffers. Business, once a robust political player, was neutered as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission and a host of regulatory agencies held a Damoclean sword over businesses, enforcing submission. Between 1934 and 1994, Republicans won control of Congress, the House and Senate, only twice for a total of four years (1946–48 and 1952–54) of the sixty-year period. It was not very good economics, but it was wonderful politics for the Democratic Party.
Democrats today would react to any slowdown just as FDR did because it's the route to controlling the state, not because they are unaware of the history of economic failure.
In 2012, Barack Obama insisted the George W. Bush tax cuts lapse for those earning more than $450,000 a year. The Congressional Budget Office certified that this would increase revenue by $620 billion over the next 10 years. A nice nest egg to spend on good stuff. But the CBO had to readjust its estimates due to slower growth. They had assumed hiking taxes on "the rich" would not slow growth. By 2017, the 12 revisions showed the federal government losing $3.1 trillion over a decade, not gaining $620 billion.
This suggests that plans by today's Dems to pay for "everything" with taxes on the rich might not work as planned. (But the politics might.)
And Republican plans in the event of a recession? The Donald Trump Republican party has shown its hand. More tax cuts, less regulation, more energy production, attempts at spending restraint. History shows these tools work pretty well for workers. But before you get too complacent, Trump does have one arrow in his quiver that he borrowed from Hoover: tariffs.

This past weekend Mom hosted the annual family Christmas dinner. It is sort of like a family reunion I guess you can say. Mom and her brothers and sister take turns each year hosting this get together. I get to see aunts, uncles, and cousins that I don't get to see throughout the year. The grownups don't realize that all of us cousins are Facebook friends. Ha. However, I do have a cousin my age that is the closet to me. We see each other several times during the summer as her family and mine vacation at the same campground. They are just as obsessed with the beach as we are. We have a lot to talk about when we see each other.
Anyway, back to the dinner. Everyone brings a dish or two to share. We cover three six foot tables with food! Its hard on me while maintaining my weight loss. I try to take it easy.
Just kidding, I had three desserts. I couldn't help myself. It was all so good.
I was in a pinch for time in making a dish for the occasion . I ended up making a broccoli salad and a butterscotch poppy seed cake.
I used my all time favorite bunt pan. It's old and worn. It works better than any of my newer pans.
This cake is so easy to make and perfect for a last minute decision. I have made it several times for luncheons and church gatherings.
The butterscotch poppy seed cake is always a hit and goes fast. There is no need to ice it. Its good right out of the oven.
It turned out almost perfect dontcha think?
I like it warm with a glass of milk or cup of coffee.
1 Box yellow cake mix.
2 packages INSTANT butterscotch pudding.
Mix everything together for 2 minutes (until well mixed). Add in poppy seeds.
Bake 45 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.
Now I'm back to eating healthy, at least until Christmas.
how lovely tradition of family for get together and bringing dishes to share .
i am deeply in love with such ways of living and wish may they never end as life is beautiful just because we share our emotions with each other .
this cake looks really good and delicious .
Family get togethers are always fun. BUT it is very rewarding to have someone who is interested in the same things, such as the BEACH. It does draw you together. I miss that, having lost the ones close enough to enjoy the same lifestyle. We did have one family member who RV'd. We were fortunate to travel from key West to Alaska with them, before passing separated us.
Just enjoy the time you have, it is a wonderful part of life.
What fun, to get everyone together for the holidays - such a treat!! I host dinner at my house every Christmas, but it's just us three sisters with our families....which turns into a huge event anyway, when you add boyfriends, girlfriends, etc!!
It looks & sounds yummy!!
"Who ate all the cake!?"
Looks delicious and easy to do.
I've copied the recipe. Thanks.

GTA 5 reached 170 million units sold, Red Dead Redemption reached 70 million
Publisher Take-Two Interactive has announced another major milestone for Grand Theft Auto DRAW with 170 million copies sold, while Red Dead Redemption has reached the 70 million mark.
During Take-Two's quarterly earnings call, the company's investor presentation revealed sales numbers for both series. As a franchise, Grand Theft Auto has sold more than 385 million units, with 170 million of those believed to be GTA 5.
As pointed out by @DomsPlaying on Twitter, that's a smaller jump from the "nearly 170 million" mentioned in Take-Two's final earnings report. In the same report, GTA 5 sold about 5 million VND copies in a single quarter. Talking to GamesIndustry.bizTake-Two's chief financial officer Hannah Sage noted that the company only updated GTA 5 sales in 5 million increments.
For Red Dead Redemption, sales have increased by 2 million units since the publisher's last earnings call. The franchise, including Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, has sold 70 million copies worldwide.
Top 10 best selling video games of all time
Back in August, Take-Two had an optimistic outlook on its mobile future following its acquisition of Zynga. However, Barrons highlighted that financial forecasts have been downgraded, with a cut to the fiscal year outlook attributed to a weakening global economy and reduced mobile spending.
Despite that, both Rockstar Games series have been breaking industry records for years now. GTA 5 hit $1 billion in retail sales faster than any other entertainment release in history, a feat it achieved in just three days. And even though it's been a decade, the developer is still pushing next generation patch for its open world heists.
