Cheerleading gains recognition
BY Samantha Soldini
Friday, May 14, 2010
Pressure was on as the girls ran into the gym. The crowd was cheering wildly for their favorite team. These athletes had been preparing for months for this very moment and their stomachs were filled with butterflies. Judges watched carefully as the squad performed a complicated routine of lifts, flips and complex synchronized motions. It was then time to find out the winners of the cheerleading competition.
Cheerleading is thought of by many as a club that only cheers on others, but now this activity is starting to become a true sport that is extremely competitive.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hudson on the move
Posted: March 15, 2012|
FORMER Grimsby Town midfielder Mark Hudson has joined Evo-Stik Premier Division outfit Bradford Park Avenue from Worksop Town.
The 31-year-old, who left Blundell Park last summer, says he made the move to be a part of Bradford's promotion tilt.
Hudson, who made 56 appearances and scored seven goals in nearly two seasons in Cleethorpes, said: "I would like to thank Worksop Town, as they have been really good for me, but they are mid-table and they couldn't go up and go down, so it's a challenge to come here.
"I have played Bradford plenty of times this season – I scored three goals against them.
"Hopefully, I can steady the ship, but I like to get forward into the box and score too."
Avenue boss John Deacey added: "Finally we have got him.
"He will be vital for the run-in with his experience."

Deputies in Guilford County seized more than three dozen marijuana plants during an investigation Tuesday.
Randall Scott Cardwell, 50, was charged with manufacturing marijuana, felony possession of marijuana and other charges that included resist/delay.
Sheriff BJ Barnes said his office and the North Carolina Department of Revenue served a search warrant on Point Oak Drive in Colfax and found the marijuana plants. The plants weighed in excess of 20 pounds.
Money was also seized, authorities said. Cardwell was placed under a $150,000 bond.
Authorities said charges are pending against two other people who live at the residence.

Gotta give a H/T to Councilman Dan Gookin and NIC Trustee Ron Nilson for their enthusiastic reaction to a possible events center being built at Riverstone. During a joint meeting of the City Council and NIC trustee board, Gookin and Nilson said — on "Woody TV" Channel 19 — that an events center would benefit the community as well as the college. Also, both said that the proposed events center should be built large enough to handle events like state high school football championships that are now being lost to Moscow and Pocatello, which have domed stadiums. Gookin was optimistic that voters would pass a bond (that could be floated after creation of a Recreation District) for an events center if they were informed properly re: the benefits. Nilson, who was instrumental in the passage of the bonds to build KTEC in Rathdrum, agreed. However, both balked when the specter of the Lake City Development Corp. was raised to provide some funding. All at the meeting agreed that NIC athletic/events facilities are outdated. Christiansen Gym was built in 1944. A good example of the restrictions caused by poor facilities is the 2014 national NJCAA wrestling tournament that NIC will host — in Spokane/DFO.
Question: I support the idea of a $12M-$15M events center that would attract events here. Also, I think the support of Gookin and Nilson is important for this idea to find traction. What do you think?

Authorities announced Friday they made 19 more arrests and 43 criminal indictments in the ongoing Desert Divas investigation dubbed by law enforcement as the largest prostitution ring in Arizona history.
The arrests and indictments announced by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office covered four states and marks the first time clients are facing charges. Nearly 100 people have now been indicted in the investigation.
Sheriff's worker linked to prostitution ring
The arrests and indictments, which were made and handed down by a Maricopa County grand jury throughout this week, included Jillian Lybarger, 23, a detention officer from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
The people arrested and indicted on suspicion of prostitution-related offenses included prostitutes, four alleged VIP customers and people who were operating the business. The arrests and indictments spanned Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Washington state, according to the county attorney's office.
Three of the accused VIP customers indicted on charges of prostitution-related charges, including money laundering, pandering and illegal participation in an enterprise are: Lloyd Harris, 31, Harley Clayton Lisherness, 67, and Rodney Joseph Rosta, 62. Their city of residence was not available.
The fourth VIP customer, who was not named, had not been served Friday with his indictment, according to the county attorney's office.
Overall, the Internet-based operation included more than 100 prostitutes and generated $250,000 a month, according to Phoenix police, who began investigating the operation in 2007.
"This case is beyond prostitution. This was a major criminal syndicate that allegedly made millions of dollars. I am proud of the work done by our prosecutors and the skilled detective work of the Phoenix Police Department breaking the back of this syndicate," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a statement.

sure, lets cut the income tax credit - and affect the working class somemore. There are more people taking and less paying taxes.

Wedding: 10/4/2014
Covenant Cakes did my wedding cake and it turned out perfect! I gave them a picture of what I wanted and they gave me exactly that. It had intricate designs that they used stencils to perfect. The flavors were also amazing! It was hard to choose which flavors we wanted. Their almond cake was my favorite though and great flavor.
Wedding: 3/22/2014
We had so many people tell us this was the best cake they had ever had!
They were wonderful to work with!
Wedding: 9/20/2013
These ladies are really easy to work with. Contact was easier by phone than email. We just wanted a small cake and sheet cakes, and they still treated us very sweetly, and even decorated the sheet cakes to match our round cake. They coordinated with our florist to have flowers on the cake that matched the rest of the decor. We had basic white wedding cake with basic buttercream icing -- sooo tasty!
Wedding: 10/12/2013
Rhonda and Mary were very sweet and great to work with. My fiancé and I were living apart while I was planning so I brought a friend along for the tasting. However, they prepared 3 flavor combinations for my fiancé to try when he was in town which we truly appreciated. The final product was just as I hoped and everyone raved about the flavor and how moist the cake was. Many guests had seconds! Price was also very reasonable. If I was still living in KC, I would probably get all of my cakes from them! Yum!
Wedding: 9/21/2013
My groom's cake was awesome, they did such a great job! The cakes arrived a little later than they said, but nobody told me, so all was good and they looked and tasted wonderful! Highly recommend!
Wedding: 9/14/2013
Mary & Rhonda did our wedding cake and grooms cake just a few weeks ago. They were so kind and accommodating when we first met with them and we knew they were a great fit with what we were wanting. The 3 tier wedding cake turned out great and the Jayhawk cake was AMAZING! Not only did they look great but they tasted great as well. We highly recommend Covenant Cakes for delicious and beautiful cakes
Wedding: 6/8/2013
The ladies at Covenant Cakes are the BEST!!! They have been making different cakes for me over the years, so it was a no brainer to use them for my wedding cake. They were very accommodating and helpful. My wife changed her mind about 2-3 times in regards to the cake design. I must say the final cake was really amazing.
Wedding: 5/24/2013
Great service! LOVED my cake.
Wedding: 9/8/2012
I worked with both sisters and they were both so easy to talk to and work with. I did all of my wedding planning for long distance. They did a great job of delivering my vision for the cake and everything tasted so wonderful. I would recommend them to everyone.
Wedding: 8/4/2012
I had Covenant Cakes make both my wedding cake and The Groom's Cake for my wedding in Kansas City. These ladies were delightful to work with and extremely accommodating. And most importantly, the cake was delicious!
(I should also be clear that I spent a little over $750, but I had TWO cakes, as mentioned above, and I also rented a specialty cake stand as well, with hanging crystals on it. I felt the price was VERY reasonable for everything I ended up with!)
Covenant Cakes worked with me on all of my different preferences - decorations, shape, scroll-work in the frosting, and their flavors, and always had helpful suggestions to offer. (They offer a great variety of flavors too!) I fell in love with their pink champagne flavor, but wasn't ready to commit to doing a whole layer of cake in that flavor (I wasn't sure if the groom would appreciate having an entire tier of pink cake). The ladies offered to make me a separate "sheet cake" that would look EXACTLY like my other tiers, and that would give me about 15 servings of pink champagne. This was a perfect solution... not too much commitment because I didn't have to do a full tier of our cake in that flavor, but just enough to give me and the bridesmaids a few slices!
I also like A LOT of frosting and they made note of that and put it on extra thick for me! ;)
I would definitely recommend Covenant Cakes to all of my fellow KC brides!
Wedding: 6/9/2012
I am a cake hobbyist, so I do cakes on the side. I was looking for a place who would do a special grooms cake for a fairly reasonable rate and also would do my regular wedding cake (cupcakes in my case). These ladies were AWESOME! Not only did the cake taste amazing, the final product was out of this world! My grooms cakes was fashioned in the shape of a game board along with sugar pieces and they knocked it out of the park. The price was reasonable and I got a terrific product. I would highly recommend these ladies and plan to go back for other cakes.
Wedding: 9/16/2011
My cake was fabulous.
Wedding: 7/30/2011
These women should have their own show. This was a very pleasant surprise the day of the wedding. Not only are their cakes (and pies!) to die for, but the workmanship on the grooms cake was unbelievable. I ordered a groom's cake to be shaped like a vintage baseball jersey and it was better than I expected. We also had plenty of pie at our wedding, I wish I could have sat down and eaten a whole pie they were so good! I would highly recommend.
Wedding: 6/4/2011
We LOVED Covenant Cakes! They were so nice and friendly, and the cakes were GREAT! Everyone loved them! They have amazing flavors, and if you decide to go with them, they'll make you as many samples as you want! We wanted to try a bunch of flavors and when we picked them up, we had so much cake we had to call our parents over to help us try them all and pick them out! We had a LOT of problems with our wedding, but the cake was the ABSOLUTE best part of the day (other than getting married, of course!)
Wedding: 6/12/2011
I was recommended to this place by my florist and I have to say it was a great choice. They were very flexible and had props to show examples of any ideas that we thought of. They also had plenty of pictures from previous cakes and great samples. The cake they made for us was beautiful and delicious. We got plenty of compliments on our cake!
Wedding: 4/30/2011
oh geez, the cake was soooo wonderful!! i had cupcakes instead of a cake and it turned out so great!! they were so moist, I couldn't stop eating them!!
Will definitely be giving out their number!!
Wedding: 10/30/2010
We had signed up with another baker and at the last minute that person flaked out.
Covenant Cakes came to the rescue just 2 weeks before my wedding. We had a themed cake and a 3D grooms cake. They really went above and beyond what we had dreamed up. The cake was the most amazing work of art. You will not be disapointed at all.
Wedding: 10/9/2010
They did a marvelous job working with me and my family on the flavors and design of the cake. We were going with something really unique and they bent over backwards to make it amazing. And they were the best TASTING cake that I tried as well...
So everything from taste to execution of the design, I just give them the highest praise.
Wedding: 10/2/2010
The most beautiful, best quality cake I've ever seen. The owners were wonderful to work with.
Wedding: 10/9/2010
The cakes were sooo good! We had five different flavors and everyone loved all of them! They have different types of buttercream, and let us mix and match those for the outside icing and the filling.
My cake was a little bit plainer than I thought it was going to be, but other than that, it looked great. I gave them pictures of the detailing on my dress, and they copied that to decorate the cake!
The grooms cake was a duck decoy made out of rice krispies and they did a great job on it!

They are a scam and don't fall for it like I did, which I regret! Now i'm out to warn others against sending your old devices aren't stolen from these guys too! They flood the web with what appears to be legitimate reviews and articles but they are all fake, part of their scheme. They'll seem to beat the competition, spam you till you mail in your device, route it through some fake Indiana distribution center to kill time, and then you'll get an email that says to contact them. If you ever try to call, you'll never get through to a live person because they intend to keep your device forever without giving you a dime. They also go to www.cashforiphones.com, www.cashforipads.com, www.cashforsmartphones.com, www.cashforlaptops.com and www.cashforberrys.com. There are real companies that take old devices but this one is an absolute SCAM!

I presume you have searched the list to see if reviews or ratings on them pop up ?
A good quick and dirty way to check out a company is to google their name with complaint added on, like this - ecyclebest complaints
If they have any significant number of complaints against them, the first page of results will be filled with them, and complaint and scam logging sites will have articles on them. In this case, the first page comes up apparently clean - a good sign. Proceed with your investigation from there with BBB rating, etc, but unless they are brand new, it is rare for complaints to not pop up using that technique.

No, they are not. In California alone hte Better Business Bureau has ore than 300 complaints against them. They use their own domain and make up "fake" subsites so when you google the company, it display all these results were customers rave how goog they are but when you look at the URL - it's all their own domain.
They quoted me 175.00 in a 32 GB Samsung Galaxy SIII and 180.00 on a 32 GB Galaxy Note 10.1. That was already low ball. Both items were 6 months old. I sent both items in their original manufacturer boxes with all the accessories. Both items had been in protective sleeves from Day one. For both items I even sent the protective sleeves with them, for the note it was one that allows it to stand etc. I thought that was pretty nice of me.
Took them more than 1 week aver they received it to admit that they had gotten it. You try calling them - you'll never get through. A male announcer will tell you that there's heavy call volume and you are only left with the option to leave your number and someone will call you back. If you keep staying on the line, it disconnects you after 1 hour so you have no other option.
After 2 days they finally called and claimed that the items were not in prestine condition, had scratches and they supposedly did not receive them in the original boxes with accessories. They claimed they were in used condition with scratches and they offered 160.00 for both items.
I asked for both items back and told them that I am an attorney and have credible witness to attest in what conditions the items were and also of all the accessories and original boxes and that I also took photos of all before I shipped.
Then I was told they would "re-evaluate" and had to ask "the manager".
The next day they came back and quoted 220.00 for both items.
They will lure you with high bids but once they get your stuff, they will low-ball you and try to rip you off. Similar companies are not much better. When you ship the items, they come with the same scam and when you ask for the items back in the condition they were - all they will send back is your phone/notebook, in an envelope with bubble wrap. You won't get your original boxes or accessories back. They will tell you "we don't keep the accessories or boxes the customers send".
I think a TV station should to an investigative report on those scams. I notified my local TV station, I suggerst you do the same.

I sold ecyclebest my iphone 4s 16gb from sprint which they quoted me 123.00 for. Whenni recieved my check it was for 18.00. I then called customer service and they stated "the market dropped" eventhough you can go to their website and get the exact same quote for 123.00 today. They then said they would mail me another check for 40.00 because I was not happy. I decided to contact the better business Bureau and they resolved the issue by getting me another check for 65.00 which will total 123.00. They are a scam I will never use them again.or refer a friend with their bogus 10.00 gift card they send you. Stay away.

RIPOFF! Pure bait & switch! I was quoted $357 for my ATT iphone 5s. This was a flawless condition device that was repacked in the original box! and sent to them. The email address was transposed and my payment was lost...imagine that! Two months later I finally after multiple messages get a real live person. He confirms the error and says payment will be sent to my paypal account. I confirmed the amount! Next day I see $55. Then I spend two days leaving unanswered messages. Finally I get Monty Hall who want to make a deal because he sees more value in this item! AND he says the market has fallen on this particular model. Crock of crap! He fianlly gets up to $225. But only after he states he cannot exceed $200. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! YOU WILL GET RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COMPLETE RIPOFF!!!! I was quoted $180 for a very new, hardly used Win7 laptop. My sister only used it a few weeks and got $24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And good luck getting a hold of them. On hold for hours.
Email you do get a response but you have to go through customer service which ends up being on hold again.
Very upset. Don't do!!! Trade it into Amazon or other trading places or sell on ebay.
This is very upsetting!!!!

Absolutely NOT. On 8/17/14, I mailed my Samsung S3 that was in fine working order, no
scratches along with a charger and case to them as promised. They had quoted me online
$133.00 trade-in. 4 or 5 days later I received a $20 check and a thank you letter. I have
been trying unsuccessfully to reach them by phone to explain where my other $113 is, and
have been put on hold after a recording where no one answers. I am very upset at this act
of fraud on the public, and will be contacting the attorney generals office (fraud division)
to see if they can help.

I used this company and will never use them again. No one should. My experience was awful. They will quote you a high price to get you to send them your electronics. Then they turn around and give you pennies on the dollar. Then you have to spend weeks to try and contact them and negotiate a better deal and you end up with a few more dollars. USE THEM AT YOUR ON RISK.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!! They are rip off artists. I sent them a phone that was 3 weeks old, I took it out of the box and put it straight into an otterbox case. It still had the protective film except for on the screen, and they try and tell me that the phone had heavy wear on it after less than 16hrs of use and sent me a check for 27 dollars after an initial quote of 173 dollars. Then they tell me that they can not send the phone back because I did not answer an email that didn't tell me the new price, just that my check had been shipped. I for one wil never use this company or any affiliates it may have and I strongly reccomend that no one else does either

NO!!!!! Ecyclebest is a scam. They offered me $350 for 3 devices. When they got my stuff they offered $72 and refused to return my stuff. Also, they won't take email to request a return. You have to call a paid phone line and sit on hold. They never answer and charge you for waiting.
Avoid these guys at all costs. There are complaints, lawsuits, and federal fraud investigations pending against them.

They (ecyclebest) depend on us just "letting it go" and not putting any kind of effort into making this right. At some point we need to take a stand and not let them bully us any further.

This company is a scam. They told me they would pay me $80 for my laptop. I was also told if I was unsatisfied in any way they would return it at no cost to me. Now they offered me $6. When I wrote back, both directly and through their website, as well as called multiple times, I cannot reach anyone. They have stolen my property and refuse to return it. I have filed a complaint with the BBB, as well as a theft report with their local police department. This company is stealing from people and giving false advertising - stay away!

Provincial test results show grades 3 and 6 students continue to improve in reading and writing.
However, elementary math results remain stagnant.
The Education Quality and Accountability Office released the highlights of student achievement on the grades 3 and 6 reading, writing and math tests and the Grade 9 math assessment Monday, showing the improvements made during the past five years in primary reading and writing.
"The good news is the primary grades continue to creep ahead in reading and writing at a snail's pace, but the bad news is math continues to challenge far too many," Society for Education executive director Doretta Wilson said.
Grade 6 students made the greatest improvements, with the number reaching the provincial standard in reading up 10 percent age points in the past five years. In writing, that number is up 12 percentage points.
For Grade 3 students, the number meeting the provincial standard in writing has jumped 9 percentage points.
In both grades, math scores have been stable, but show little improvement.
"This should be a call to action for the education system as a whole," EQAO board chairperson Brian Desbiens said. "It is clear from the gains in literacy that much can be accomplished through focused attention and interventions once an area of need has been identified. This attention must now be applied to improving math achievement."
York Region District School Board has seen an upward trend in standardized test scores since the provincial tests came into play, with a few exceptions here and there, curriculum and instructional services superintendent Beate Planche said.
She couldn't comment on this year's results, as the board-by-board and school-by-school results won't be released until Sept. 15.
"We look forward to receiving the results as we use the data for board and school planning for the future," she said.
The Grade 9 math assessment shows a larger percentage of students in the applied math course provincewide are now meeting the standard compared to previous years. During the past five years, those meeting the provincial standard in the academic program rose 12 percentage points and in the applied course, 7 percentage points.
"It would be much easier and less costly to nip learning problems in the bud rather than trying to fix them after the fact," Ms Wilson said. "It's time to practise the preventative medicine and to use proven, effective teaching methods from the start."
These findings are consistent with Ontario student achievement on recent international assessments, where, overall, math achievement has been strong in later grades and more modest in earlier grades, Mr. Desbiens said.
"This year's results show encouraging signs of student progress in elementary school literacy and in the Grade 9 academic math course," he said. "They also show that improvement in mathematics, particularly in the elementary grades and in applied mathematics at the secondary level, is not keeping pace with the improvements in reading and writing,"
EQAO has tracked the progress of students in math through three provincial tests, this year looking at the group of students who advanced from Grade 3 in 2005 to Grade 6 in 2008 and Grade 9 in 2011.
The trend showed students who meet the provincial standard early in their schooling are most likely to maintain their high achievement in secondary school. Of the students who met the provincial standard in grades 3 and 6, 92 per cent met it again in Grade 9 in the academic math course and 77 per cent in the applied course.
Students who do not meet the provincial standard early in their schooling are most likely to continue to struggle in later grades.
Of the students who had not met the provincial standard in grades 3 and 6, 51 per cent did not meet it again in Grade 9 in the academic math course and 71 per cent did not in the applied course.
The trends also show pinpointing the needs of students early and providing support makes a difference.
The large majority of students who did not meet the standard in Grade 3 but received support and improved to meet it in Grade 6, carried their success forward into Grade 9.
Of the students who did not meet the provincial standard in Grade 3 but improved to meet it in Grade 6, 77 per cent met it in Grade 9 in the academic math course and 60 per cent did in the applied course.

|Issue Date:
|In 2008 the Federation of Parents & Citizens Association NSW commissioned Dr.Rawsthorne to undertake research on the barriers and facilitators of parental participation in the P&C movement (and more generally in their involvement at schools. This discussion paper reports the findings of research undertaken with active P&C members, potential P&C members, access staff and senior school staff. It places the findings from this research in the context of the broader scholarship and existing research. The aims of the Discussion Paper are to resource local P&C committees as well as generate discussion concerning participation. It does not advocate for a 'one size fits all' approach, instead recognises that strategies will be most effective if developed locally and tailored to the particular composition of individual schools and communities.

BABY BLUE 2: 13 – 36 months
BABY BLUE 3: 13 – 36 months
During our cutting-edge Baby Blue program you, or a caregiver, will accompany your baby in the water as our skilled instructors guide the class through progressions designed to give your child a greater sense of
comfort and confidence in the water. Classes focus on readying your child for parentless participation.
(Max student to teacher ratio is 6:1)

- Children must wear a swim diaper
Guppies: 3 – 5 years(30- Minute, Weekly Lessons)
Our Guppy 1 swimmers adjust to the water for the first time. They work on getting over their fear of the water with the help of one of our highly trained instructors. Basic drills such as floating, blowing bubbles, and kicking are taught with the aid of colorful pool toys to make your child feel at ease. The goal of every Guppy 1 is to learn to love and respect the water while establishing a foundation for later skills.
(Max student to teacher ratio is 3:1)
Guppy 2 swimmers are already comfortable submerging their face and can comfortably propel themselves through the water, using sound kicking technique, for 10 feet. They learn how to use flutter kick to explore underwater and move through the water at the surface. A Guppy 2 also perfects their floating skills and begin to feel comfortable enough to reach and pull with their arms for 15 feet.
(Max student to teacher ratio is 3:1)
With classes that emphasize perfecting flutter kicking, Guppy 3 swimmers in gain the ability and confidence to propel themselves both above and below the surface. They become very confident with independent submersion, underwater exploration, and flutter kicking. Classes also introduce front crawl.

level of comfort in the water. They learn the basics of flutter kick and how
to move through the water independently. A Dolphin 1 also learns how to
twist from front to back while floating.

Building on kicking drills learned in Dolphin 1, a Dolphin 2 is introduced to floating skills, balance drills, and a progression of breathing drills that prepare them for learning freestyle. They also work on endurance while increasing their capacity for underwater exploration.
(Max student to teacher ratio is 4:1)
Barracudas: 9 – 12 years(30-Minute, Weekly Lessons)
Barracuda 1 is for swimmers who still need to gain a basic level of comfort in the water. Swimmers at this age quickly learn the basics, how to kick and how to move through the water on their own with the aid of flotation.
(Max student to teacher ratio is 4:1)
Taking full advantage of the kicking drills learned in Barracuda 1, a Barracuda 2 focuses on two important new skills— body position and side breathing. Once these skills are tackled, they're ready to build endurance while increasing their capacity for underwater exploration.

text: Walnuts rapid development, I would like to talk about from the following six aspects of some of their own ideas. 1, Walnut suitable environment to enhance the research, to develop walnut. Walnut only distributed in the current provinces of Zhejiang and Anhui Eye system, the distribution is narrow, affecting small. After 80 years, Jinhua City, Quzhou City are part of the introduction, growth is good. But still limited to some of the surrounding adjacent areas. Distribution of the genus from the walnut, in the Yangtze River, 200-1000 meters above sea level body, calcareous soil should be suitable species. Therefore, the introduction should be a wider range of tests. 2, to speed up the process of walnut varieties. Walnut seed is to actively develop and achieve "a high priority two" material basis. In recent years, won the breakthrough of walnut grafting, cuttings has also been some progress (see below), these are the walnut varieties of the key technology of walnut varieties provide technical assurance. The selection of walnut work has begun. Zhejiang Forestry College, 2001 Walnut Walnut Research Institute of the selected areas for a wide range of excellent, has selected 95 superior strains, and were registered. Through the fruit, the seed rate, seed kernel weight, shelling percentage, oil yield, crude protein, unsaturated fatty acids, K, Ca, Mg, Na and other analysis showed that there is a big walnut individual genetic differences between ( see Figure 1). Therefore, the need to strengthen the superior strains of walnut species selection, genetic determination of the clones, clone breeding improved varieties. Meanwhile, on the need for Juglans germplasm collection, research and expand the genetic diversity of walnut breeding. Walnuts and walnut shell genetic differences will have hybrid vigor, through the breeding program breeding of hybrid progeny, at present the preliminary test, walnut X American walnut, walnut fruit generally increased. 3, to strengthen the research culture model, the formation of business matching and walnut cultivation management technology system. Walnut dried in history belongs to the wild, mostly in the complex by the natural growth of wild seedling bushes, shrubs, saplings and tending a forest by the clearance of the complex, people without seeding, planting and tending habits. Therefore, the existing poor stand structure, density generally too large, tall trees, crown small, light enough yield is not high. Second, no one ever walnut trim, that will result in Shugan die cut next several sections, the term of its natural growth and bore branches, poor growth and no clean-up sticks, so that is difficult to form a good tree. There are walnut pollination, water and fertilizer management, intercropping, trees dwarf problem, the problem earlier so strong a need to strengthen the research of walnut cultivation model, propose a suitable and modern cultivation technology system of cultivation and management, scientific management . 4, strengthening the pest forecasting and control work. Now found a very serious pest of walnut, forecasting of pests and diseases should be carried out, and guide prevention and treatment of farmers in a timely manner. Maggots as buds, in about April 20 each year occur in a timely manner to ensure the prevention of female and male flowers of normal development, or it may crop failure. In pest control, should guide the farmers to choose the amount of non-toxic or low toxic residue of pesticides, hormones to prevent blindness drug and biological pesticides to ensure food safety walnut. 5, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of walnut. Main products are based on walnut walnut stone, as raw materials for processing nuts, peel, shell and so is waste. Composition analysis in Walnut, Walnut hi calcium, potassium hi, walnut fruit is rich in potassium, can be considered also peel can also be considered as a component of specialty fertilizer walnut. In addition, the walnut fruit is toxic, can be considered research and development of biological pesticides, increase the added value of walnut. 6, the proposed establishment of Walnut Industry Association as soon as possible. Currently walnut production, processing, there are still blind and disorderly competition. According to statistics, Lin existing farmers engaged in production of over 40,000 households Walnut, 221 Walnut processing enterprises, the number of sales up to 1802 people employed, generally small scale of production and processing. Walnut cut, regardless of walnut mature or not, generally early harvest, prices rise, seriously affected the quality of walnut; Danian time when the walnuts are hard rock bottom price, the phenomenon of increasing output without increasing the peasants there. Therefore, scientific and technological awareness, improve the quality of brand awareness is difficult to set up. The establishment of walnut industry associations can be decentralized management of the farmers, processing companies banded together to effectively lengthen and improve the industrial chain, the effective adjustment of the economic interests within the industry, coordinated relationship between the parties, to achieve orderly competition within the industry. http://www.walnutchina.com

Welcome to boreal_wormer's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I became interested in verimcomposting in 2003 and purchased Worms Eat My Garbage: How to setup & maintain a vermicomposting system to research the subject. I started my first bin in a storage tote in May 2004, had a flow through bin for a couple of years and I'm currently using an inverting bin.
I have had worms bin for nine years now and have adopted the philosophy of benign neglect for their operation. Other than the five minutes required to feed it every week and harvesting the compost two or three times a year they requires little attention. They generally sit unnoticed in the corner of my kitchen.
I'm an apartment dweller so it's nice to be able to compost at home. Previously I'd save my organic waste and donate it to friends compost piles.
