A teenager struck gold with the help of the RNLI in Gravesend.
Natasha Richards, 19, completed her gold Duke of Edinburgh Award after a year and a half of hard work.
It included volunteer work at the station in Royal Pier Road, where she helped the crew with various tasks and joined them on exercise.
Natasha, who loved her time with the RNLI and said she learned a lot from the experience, said: "It was amazing being with all the guys in the station with the different crew members each day.
"It was quite daunting at first going into a whole organisation where I had no idea who anyone was, but I actually loved it.
"I got to drive the boat at times on exercises. It was quite an amazing thing to come back and tell my friends what I did."
Duke of Edinburgh's Award is an opportunity for 14-24 year-olds to enjoy different activities from volunteer work to sports.
To achieve gold, you have to put in at least 12 months of work, including an expedition and a residential activity requiring you to stay away from home for five nights.

It was Veterans Day 2013, a chilly November morning, when John Way was approached by a young job seeker. The applicant was a veteran and Way, who owns two Jiffy Lube locations in the Baltimore area, immediately identified with him.
"I have a sign on my building that says 'Veteran Owned and Operated.' He felt that he would get a chance from me," Way said. "I wasn't going to create bad karma by not hiring a veteran on Veteran's Day. He told me his story and absolutely, I helped him out."
This experience led Way to launch a goal in January 2014, that at least 50 percent of his new hires would be veterans by the end of the year.
As Way continues to move toward his goal, he has joined forces with over 100 other businesses participating in Governor Martin O'Malley's Operation Hire program, Maryland's 100-day veteran hiring challenge. The challenge is working to raise awareness of veteran unemployment and available resources for companies and job seekers.
"If an average business owner like me can work harder to hire veterans, then anyone can do it. They just need the confidence to take that chance," Way said.
Of course, according to Way's employees, he is anything but "average."

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska
-- Every day the sun rises over JBER. The timing of when it rises, whether it gets filtered through clouds, how long it lasts, and when it goes down again are all subject to time of the year and weather conditions in Alaska. But when it does light up the sky, over time it affects what it touches. For humans, it provides vitamin D. For plants, it provides a source of food.
For aircraft, such as the planes on display in Heritage Park, it slowly causes paint to fade, while rain and other factors play at corrosion and general wear on the static metal birds.
Aircraft maintainers from the 3rd Maintenance Squadron work hard maintaining the historical displays.
"The Airmen are doing a superb job on this jet," said Marc Horn, 3rd Maintenance Squadron sheet metal painter and worker. "It's just a testament to the quality of work that they do. We're really proud of it."
The maintenance crews do the refurbishing jobs when they have down time, so the projects don't impact the mission.
The Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star is the first of the historic symbols to get refurbished since it arrived at the park in June of 1999.
"We want to keep them for a long time and we don't want to wait until the last minute when there're a lot of problems, so we're bringing them in one at a time right now," he said. "We're doing what they need, so they are well preserved."
The aircraft were added to the park at different times, so the condition of each will vary, he said.
Inspectors look over the planes annually searching for corrosion or paint fading.
"We make any other repairs with holes or anything like that, that we may find, and get it structurally sound," he said. "Then we actually sand it right down to the metal and repaint the entire aircraft."
The sanding takes the old paint completely off, as well as the local markings, symbols and stencils. The aircraft is then wiped clean before a primer is applied.
The colors, symbols and stencils are all reapplied in coats. Finally, a clear coat is used as additional protection.
"It'll stay looking real nice for a long time," he said.
The Airmen working to preserve the T-33 said they understood the significance behind their efforts.
"To me, it means quite a lot because these are part of our past," said Airman 1st Class Justin Howard, 3rd Maintenance Squadron structural aircraft journeyman.
"It kind of makes it a little more special to you because we've flown these, they were our jets. These jets are part of our heritage, they are very important to us because they used to fly them. They trained, some of them fought in combat, so it's good to restore them to their former glory."
Alaskan Air Command's units, including the 5021st Tactical Operations Squadron, flew the T-33A. Air Force Col. William Povilus, 21st Tactical Fighter Wing commander, requested the plane be retained in Alaska.
It was then added to the Air Force Museum inventory in 1987.
Povilus originally had it placed in JBER's Paxton Memorial Park, near the Government Hill gate, named after Air Force Col. Pat Paxton, a former commander of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing killed in an F-15 crash in 1985.
The 3rd Equipment Maintenance Squadron repaired and refurbished it back to its arctic markings of the 1970s and mounted it in Heritage Park.
The T-33 made its first flight in 1948.
Production continued until 1959 with 5,691 T-33s built.
In addition to its use as a training aircraft, the T-33 has been used for such tasks as drone director and target towing, and in some countries even as a combat aircraft.
The RT-33A, a reconnaissance version made primarily for use by foreign countries, had a camera installed in the nose and additional equipment in the rear cockpit.
The T-33 is designed with two .50-caliber machine guns in the nose. It has a maximum speed of 525 miles per hour, and a maximum cruise speed of 455 miles per hour.
It is one of the world's best-known aircraft, having served with the air forces of more than 20 different nations over the course of several decades. It is a proud feature of Heritage Park, Horn said.
"We have a lot of visitors that come on base every year," the painter and operator said.
"One of the highlights of the base is going to Heritage Park and seeing jets there were actually in operation here at one point and there are actually some people that come who knew and flew these jets," Horn said.
"The jets are 40 to 60 years old and there are a lot of people that are veterans from that era who really enjoy seeing them. It means a lot."
Worked on that Jet 1983-1985 at Elmendorf

POSSE SA – Day 3 (Jan, you are the best!!)
I got myself into trouble when I tried to dual-boot on the day 3 of POSSE SA. I tried installing Fedora 13, but the installation resulted in me not able to access again the existing OS (Ubuntu) on my PC. Many thanks to Jan, the Red Hat guy, who helped me fix it. I am however happy that I was able to file two bugs on the Fedora 13 OS. Check them at Bugs 640943, and 640947
By the way, we've got some photos on Flickr, and some notes on identi.ca. I look forward to day 4.

From the creators of Chicken Doom comes a Project: Holy Shield, an over-the-top metal-and-blessed-guns action shooter for iOS.
via: Dogbox Studios source: Holy Shield Facebook PageIn a post-apocalyptic world, daemons of all kinds wander the Earth, hungry for man-flesh. Luckily the human race has some protection: Holy Shield, a secret organization that for thousands of years has fought against daemons in order to preserve the balance between good and evil.
But one day, while on a routine mission, two daemon hunters encounter the vilest daemon ever faced by Holy Shield. As a consequence, they are instructed to find the source of his Evil, and fight all of his slaves before tackling the daemon himself. Thus begins a violent, crazy journey of epic proportions!

Today we've seen a fascinating example of how new media has triumphed over the old.
There's been a lot of discussion about Business Secretary Vince Cable's off guard comments about how he could 'bring down the government' by using the 'nuclear option.'
It was recorded by female journalists from the Telegraph pretending to be his constituents. A typical honeytrap
It's a good story but it didn't lead the bulletins last night or this morning (there's still now business like snow business.)
Now it transpires the Telegraph was actually sitting on a MUCH bigger story that would have blown the snow away faster than any plough.
Cable told the same undercover reporters : "I have declared war on Mr Murdoch and I think we are going to win".
Vince of course will ultimately decide as Business Secretary if Murdoch's takeover of BSkyB gets the go ahead
But the Telegraph – who are lobbying with other media organisations to block Murdoch's takeover – decided not to run the story.
It now seems that someone inside the Telegraph felt the public has a right to know and leaked it to former Telegraph hack and current BBC Business Editor Robert Peston.
He duly filed on his blog at 2.30pm, forcing the Telegraph to run the story online an hour later.
Could it be that the Telegraph knew that if it ran the story it would damage Cable's position to such an extent that he would have to step back from making the decision on BSkyB? Maybe, maybe not.
But the big headache for Cameron is does he move Cable – and be accused of pandering to Murdoch – or leave him there and be seen as weak and open to a legal challenge if Vince stops the takeover.
There are only two people smiling tonight. One's Robert Peston.
The other is Keith Rupert Murdoch.

text: I need a hysterectomy because I have a 10cm fibroid. Health insurance companies call it elective surgery and they feel that it doesn't have to come out right away and not help to pay for it. It stops being elective when you have pain, discomfort and bleeding. My GYN said that other treatments won't work because of the size of the fibroid and a hysterectomy is my only choice. That is non elective and there's no ifs, ands or buts about it.

If you've seen us at various trade shows and club meetings, you know what's going to happen in this video. Our founder is going to put his mouth where his words are at, and show his belief in food that is worthy of being fed to our fish.

We've all seen "Fish Meal" appear near the top of the ingredients list of many commercially available dry fish foods, but it's never really explained to consumers what is fish meal or any other *meal. It's highly nutritious and packed full of proteins that are good for marine fish health, but it's really cheap and not something Reef Munchies believes in. Fish Meal is basically all of the left over bi-products from processing fish for human consumption; it's what no one wants to eat. In nature fish do not eat it!

Time is now for South Korea to end bear farming
With a national poll showing that nearly 90% of South Koreans oppose bear farming and a new academic report detailing how the country can exit this cruel industry, the time has never been more right for South Korea to come good on its promise to end the bear farming and bile industry.
This week, South Korea is hosting the IUCN World Conservation Congress. WSPA and local partners Green Korea United are urging the government to seize this chance to demonstrate global leadership, by:
- announcing an end to farming within their own borders
- supporting an international agreement to end bear farming globally.
A cruelty that cannot continue
The horrors of the bear bile industry – where bears are slaughtered at age 10 and their gall bladders harvested for use in commercial products – are well documented. Now, sadly, while South Korean bear farms are thought to hold 1,000 Asiatic Black bears, only 20 are estimated to survive in the wild.
'Farming' these wild animals in cages so small they cannot turn around, for a lifetime, has been rejected by the South Korean public and – according to the commitment they made to end farming and the bile industry earlier this year – by the government too.
WSPA bear farming expert Chris Gee states: "The government has no excuse. Research conducted last year revealed that while just 1.2 per cent of South Koreans say they have purchased bear bile, 89.5 per cent are against the farming and slaughtering of bears for bile."
Time for action
With the delivery of an independent report from Chungnam University that details how the government can end the bear bile industry, pressure is building on Environment Minister Yoo Young Sook to act quickly.
The end of the bile industry is long overdue; the immense distress that the bears suffer is ongoing. Now WSPA wants to see the following actions from South Korea to protect bears, without delay:
- an immediate ban on the breeding of bears on farms
- the announcement of the end of the bear bile industry
- allocation of budget to accelerate the end of the industry and stop the suffering of bears
- immediate strengthening of enforcement of CITES requirements to prohibit the trade and sale of illegal bear products.

Chinese escape FIRB scrutiny on Ord
PUBLISHED: 23 Nov 2012 00:06:27 | UPDATED: 23 Nov 2012 08:19:53PUBLISHED: 23 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 23 Nov 2012Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan said he was surprised to learn of the exemption from FIRB scrutiny for deals between a private company and state government. Photo: Alex Ellinghausen
Sophie Morris
The $700 million plan for a Chinese company to develop an Ord River irrigation scheme has drawn attention to a regulatory loophole under which Foreign Investment Review Board scrutiny will be avoided because of approval from the West Australian government.
Liberal senator Bill Heffernan, who chairs a committee examining the regulation of foreign investment in agriculture, said he was surprised to learn of the exemption from FIRB scrutiny for deals between a private company and state government. His committee would examine whether it was justified.
"To discover the loophole that has been used to avoid FIRB scrutiny is pretty disturbing," he told The Australian Financial Review.
"The Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act needs to be enhanced to bring it up to date with the modern world and this is a glaring example of that."
On Tuesday, the WA government overlooked proposals from two Australian-based companies in favour of a plan by Shanghai Zhongfu, trading as Kimberley Agricultural Investment, to produce and crush sugar cane on 13,400 hectares of land leased from the second stage of the Ord River expansion project.
Senator Heffernan has contacted the WA government with questions about the deal, including whether there were assurances the sugar would be sold commercially and that the Chinese company would pay tax on profits. He also wants to know the terms for reviewing the lease, under what conditions it can be terminated and what capital gains tax arrangements apply to development of the land.
The state government has said details will be finalised over the next six months. A spokesman for WA Regional Development Minister Brendon Grylls said the deal would not be reviewed by the FIRB because it involved lease of the land, rather than purchase.
But senior foreign investment lawyers said that under section 12A of the act, interests in land acquired from a government in Australia were exempt from the screening arrangements.
This carve-out was included when the legislation was written in 1975 because it was assumed that requiring FIRB approval would duplicate processes.
Foreign investment of more than $244 million would otherwise require FIRB scrutiny, along with all investment by sovereign-owned entities.
Senator Heffernan was also concerned the Ord deal encouraged inefficiency by putting no value on the water licences, meaning there was no incentive for the producer to choose the highest-value crop or invest in the most advanced irrigation technology.
"I have grave reservations about the water licence and trading and generosity which would lead to inefficient water use," he said
The Chinese company is to pay a peppercorn rent for the land but has promised to invest in developing the sugar farms and spend $425 million building a sugar mill near the Kimberley town of Kununurra.
The federal and state governments have spent more than $500 million on infrastructure in the region.

Jefferson School PTO Petition Drive
Thursday, May 02, 2013 3:09 PM

Why Good Design Is Finally A Bottom Line Investment
When Thomas Watson Jr. told Wharton students in 1973 that good design is good business, the idea seemed quixotic, silly even. To many people, design still meant the superficial polish of nicer homes and cleaner graphics. But Watson had earned the right to his beliefs. The recently retired IBM CEO was a business oracle, having grown the company tenfold during his tenure by transforming its signature product line from cash registers to computer mainframes. Along the way, the perception of IBM had changed irrevocably. Once rooted in the grime of cogs and springs, Big Blue had become the face of a new computer age.
Watson had always been a pioneering advocate for design, going back to 1954 when he recruited Eliot Noyes to reinvent the street-level showroom at IBM's Manhattan headquarters. And as IBM transformed, it became synonymous with the rise of modernism. Watson and Noyes commissioned Paul Rand to create its logo; Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen to build its offices and factories; and Charles and Ray Eames to craft its legendary 1964 World's Fair exhibit. But from our current distance we can see the cracks in Watson's logic: Logos and buildings, nice as they were, weren't central to how IBM actually made money–not compared with the engineers who were figuring out how to build ever more powerful mainframes. Back then, design was marketing by another name. The design and business symbiosis that Watson was advocating at the time was more prophecy than reality.

Modelling Topics on Climate Change as Driver of Emerging Plant Health Risks

Despite not directly relying on a single coherent framework of quantitative computational modelling, the assessment of emerging risks for plant health is closely linked with environmental modelling and in particular with modelling integration at regional or global scale of a variety of domain-specific aspects.
Heterogeneous sources of information either quantitative or qualitative need to be crossed to estimate the relevance of a certain plant-health risk across the complexity of the causal-chain (several natural resources could be involved such as forests, soil, water along with land use and cover) which might lead to its possible emersion.
The plant health scientific domain is facing a rapidly growing number of outbreaks at global or regional - e.g. continental - scale by both new pests and by pests that, despite already known, were not previously considered as strategically relevant.
The urgency of timely recognizing and addressing such emerging risks also affects the way scientific research is able to cope with them and to provide decision makers with actually useful support to react, in a peculiar context of incomplete information and noticeably high uncertainty sometime even difficult to be modelled quantitatively.
On the other hand, the emergence of plant health risks is often unforeseeable when considering only the information related to a particular scientific domain.
Following a series of food crises in the late 1990s, the European Food Safety Authority was set up in January 2002 for supporting the European Union institutions with scientific opinions on risk assessment regarding the food chain and in particular food and feed safety, including plant health.
Within this context, the EFSA Scientific Colloquium Series was initiated in 2004 with the aim of conducting colloquia to encourage more open exchange of information via scientific discussion and debate by gathering together leading scientists from universities and research centres, food safety agencies, professional or trade organizations.
This talk proposes a series of comments from an environmental modelling perspective on the 16th EFSA Scientific Colloquium on Emerging Risks in Plant Health: from plant pest interactions to global change (Parma, Italy, June 2011). The Colloquium gathered risk assessors and managers, scientists and stakeholders from 31 countries, including 19 EU Member States, seven candidate countries, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Norway, and the United States.

Country Profile |
Flag of Iran Background: Historically known as Persia, Iran was one of the greatest empires of the ancient world, which was frequently invaded. Iran's hereditary monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, fled the country in 1979 after decades of corrupt and authoritarian rule, and mounting religious and political unrest. Exiled Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned to lead an Islamic revolution and formed the world's first Islamic republic the same year. An eight-year war with Iraq followed. In the elections of 1992 and 1996, former president Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani's support increased and at the presidential election of 1997 Mohammad Khatami, Rafsanjani's cultural adviser, succeeded him. Khatami promised greater freedom and tolerance and was supported mainly by women, younger voters and intellectuals. In June 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, former mayor of the capital, Tehran, and famous for his conservative approach and for rolling back reforms put in place by modernists before him was elected president. He has not been shy of confronting the West and has pushed ahead with a national nuclear programme that has brought international condemnation. |

Network Science
At its most fundamental level, Biology is the control and interplay between a vast number coupled chemical reactions. These chemical reactions control the basic processes of life as well as providing rapid response mechanisms to counter a plethora of environmental changes. Network Science involves the study of the relatedness of seemingly disparate phenomena.
Gene expression microarrays
We are using the power of microarray technology to assess the up- and down-regulation of genes at the mRNA level in several different experiments. The information gained from this analysis helps identify "hot spots" of activity in response to a stimulus such as a chemical contaminant or oxygen starvation conditions. The significant conclusions are drawn from identifying the relationships between the nodes of these network maps.
Quantitative (Real Time) PCR at USMA
The department has recently acquired an multicolor Q-PCR system (Agilent) in order to observe quantitative changes in gene expression. We are using this instrument to support the microarray results for individual genes as well as extend the investigation of certain genes.
High Throughput Sequencing capability at USMA
An explosion in data from the study of biological circuitry in living organisms is forthcoming due to the genomic revolution. The advent of efficient, reliable, and affordable high throughput nucleic acids sequencing devices is allowing the determination of organisms' genomes, as well as the study of gene expression by monitoring the levels of specific messenger RNA transcripts.
A central piece of the department's modernization effort is the Beckman Coulter GenomeLab apparatus which has ushered in an era of cadet-conducted systems biology study. Cadets now have the opportunity to design and conduct genomic and gene expression analysis experiments on a wide range of model organisms.
Of course, the tremendous amount of data generated by this type of instrument requires computational expertise to provide meaningful data that will address hypothesis-driven research efforts. Hence, we intend to develop our Bioinformatics efforts through collaborations and in-house expertise

Interior design by Ashley Whittaker, photo via House Beautiful
Green is such a versatile color to decorate with. It can be soft and soothing like sage or mint or energetic and vibrant like chartreuse or emerald. Green is a popular choice for my clients, and as a Calgary interior designer I am always excited when a client requests green. Reminiscent of nature, green is an easy hue to live with. In honor of St. Patrick's Day and the onset of spring, here are rooms employing some fresh green shades for you to enjoy.
Interior design by Corea Sotropa Interior Design
For this Arts and Crafts Calgary renovation that we completed in the neighborhood of Mount Royal, a vibrant shade of lemongrass was chosen for the wall color. This space is a reading loft between the bedrooms and has a view on to the river valley. Green was the perfect choice to reflect the abundant foliage in the summer months.

Wasabi green pairs beautifully with charcoal in this family room. For this client, we designed custom furniture and provided slip covers for the cubes and extra pillows all made in a shade of red so that our client has a summer and a winter scheme. The green is perfect in the summer look! It's so fresh against the tailored grey furniture and crisp white paneling.

Pretty spring green wallpaper is paired with soft yellow-green bedding and pink accents. This room is ready for spring!
Interior design by Tobi Fairley
Kelly green is preppy and spunky. This room mixes traditional and modern elements beautifully and the green shade is youthful and energetic without being over the top.

This collection of green pottery is dramatic and makes a statement. Remember when displaying your collections that they are more powerful grouped together then they are sprinkled around the room.
Interior design by Amanda Nisbet
Just a touch of green is all you need to add to your room. In this serene bedroom, leaf green is used on the drapery, blanket, accessories and bed skirt trim. The overall effect is bright and fresh.
Interior design by Amanda Nisbet
A chartreuse wall livens up the neutral furniture in this cozy spot. I can picture this look working well for a media room. The gold accents look gorgeous against the charcoal and chartreuse.
Interior design by Palmer Weiss, photo via Simplified Bee
This rich emerald green sofa is a stately and pretty when paired with softer green drapery and accent pillows. The contrast tape detail on the sofa back and skirt is just delightful. This color is evocative of the hunter green color used in so many interiors during the eighties, but this combination is updated and new again.
House Beautiful did an article describing on the personality of color and here is what they had to say about people who are drawn towards green.
"This is someone who exudes positive energy and a 'we can make it happen' philosophy. With a discerning sensibility and an innate desire to put others at ease, this person is a natural when it comes to social endeavors."
So if you are looking for an interior that is welcoming and easy to live with think about one of the many gorgeous shades of green. There are so many beautiful hues to consider. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A very low proportion of samples from the Central Darling Downs have been analysed for Deep P. Is this representative of the Northern Grains Region?"Test to know" and "measure to manage" for better understanding of agronomic and economic responses to deep placed fertiliser.Soil sampling strategies for both surface and subsoil should be consistent and repeatable to allow critical analysis of results over time (N, P, K & S).Be mindful of previous P fertiliser band locations for accurate sampling.
Keeping the weed seeds on the soil surface will improve control by pre-emergence herbicides, so minimise soil disturbance.Pre-emergent herbicides can cause crop damage. Separation of the product from crop seed is essential, this is more easily achieved in knife-point & press wheel seeding systems but considerably more difficult with low soil disturbance discs.Choose the right herbicide for the job – not all pre-emergent herbicides behave the same so follow label recommendations closely. Be mindful that volatile herbicides like trifluralin and triallate (Avadex® Xtra) require some incorporation to limit herbicide losses from volatilisation and sunlight degradation.
Don't assume people know how to make a good decision. A 'good' decision is an informed decision where you need to appreciate the consequences of the various actions, especially the potential losses. Seek to understand what may be subconscious influences on a decision, be it the type of decision required, the 'rules' being applied, stress, emotion, the growers values and personality.Advisors can develop the capacity to apply the right process to enhance decision making but also to better 'read' and help the clients they are working with.
There is enormous potential to improve farm profits if the gap between average farm yields and attainable grain crop yield, which is between 50 and 100%, can be reduced. This requires finely tuned farming systems and agronomy, but in conjunction with good management of machinery, labour, finance and the timeliness of operations.The main difference between average and top farmers is the occurrence of problems which affect yield. In practice many crops are affected by several 'profit draggers', like disease, nematodes, weeds, low nitrogen, timeliness or harvest losses, which in combination affect yield by 20-30 % and drag down profit by 50-60%.To manage well requires attention to all the profit draggers, but good results also requires time and effort to be put into crop selection, rotations, crop frequency, risk management and farm cost choices. Teamwork, labour, safety and machinery decisions are also important.
Compensatory capacity of canola supports the use of less conservative aphid thresholds, and increased consideration of natural enemies in controlling outbreaks.Beatsheet and sweep net sampling of faba beans both severely underestimate the density of larvae, and particularly the smaller larvae. A visual inspection of faba bean terminals, flowers and buds is critical to improved estimates of smaller larvae.Whilst important, insect damage does not constitute the majority of defective grain.
Variety response to sowing time data can be used to better match variety to sowing date. Variety selection and response to sowing time needs to be considered in the context of a risk management strategy.Trial result case study scenarios highlight the potential yield and economic outcomes, of targeting sowing window opportunities with differing genotypes. Growers are encouraged to retain a number of varieties with a range of maturities (yield response curves), to ensure that yield potential is maximised and risk is minimised.
When sowing chickpea within the optimum sowing window (mid May – early June): for yield potential ≥ 1.5 t/ha - sow at ≥ 30 plants/m2, for yield potential ≤ 1.5 t/ha - sow at ≥ 20 plants/m2.When sowing chickpea very late (not recommended) consider sowing at the higher target plant density, to compensate for potentially poorer establishment.Mid-late May should be considered the optimum sowing window for chickpeas. A substantial yield penalty is likely to be incurred when sowing is delayed until mid-late June. Kabuli chickpea types can have equal yield potential to desi types if sown early, but greatly reduced yields if sowing is delayed.An optimum plant density of at least 30 plants/m2 for mungbeans is recommended under irrigated conditions, with further research required to justify an increase to 35 or 40 plants/m2.
Even in a dry season, substantial yield losses from PRR can occur in susceptible varieties such as PBA Boundary Do not grow PBA Boundary if you suspect a PRR riskAvoid paddocks with a history of lucerne, medics or chickpea PRRThere is no yield penalty in the absence of PRR associated with varieties with improved resistance to PRR
Social media (Twitter in particular) is here to stay and has real benefits for those in the grains industry by allowing real-time information sharing. Outlining what you want to achieve from a social media presence and developing a strategy will help you derive the most value.
The susceptibility of pods to Ascochyta Blight is important as infection can cause pod abortion, blemish or kill seed, infected seed is also an inoculum source.Field trial results indicate that the varietal resistance of chickpea pods are similar to that of vegetative tissue.

But one design team has taken a distinctly different approach to the future of the capital. Factory Fifteen was commissioned to depict what London may look like in the future as part of a design mural set up by Samsung. What it created was a cityscape that appears to borrow from New York's already successful High Line. While "Londons" is essentially still a concept, the image of a London filled with wind farms, enclosed railways and giant, elevated parks might not be that far away. The team wanted to convey the idea of two Londons: a "hyper capital" containing high-rises and fast transport links, and suburban favelas, largely disconnected from the center( socially and economically), but orbiting it in a range of concentric circles. For anyone who has visited, they'll know that this concept isn't too far from the truth. Next Page Comments Show Comments More Like This Promoted Around the Web Special Features

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a ton of minor league moves in the last day, promoting two of their top prospects, with plans to promote several other players who are performing well. Here is a run-down of all the moves:
Pedro Alvarez to AA: This move is kind of a bummer, as I'm no longer an hour away from seeing the top prospect in the Pirates' system. That's especially the case when I had plans to go with my Dad to see Lynchburg twice in the next two weeks. Hopefully we can see one of their top pitching prospects.
Alvarez doesn't have the best looking numbers on the season. He's only batting .247 and has 70 strikeouts in 243 at bats. However, he has 14 home runs and a .342 OBP, which is solid considering the poor average.
If you look at the monthly splits for Alvarez, you will see that he started off slow in April, with a .219/.341/.397 line. In May he started to heat up a bit with a .262/.347/.505 line. In June he hit for a .254/.333/.552 line. The average isn't what you want from your top prospect in A+ ball, but the steady climb in OPS each month was encouraging.
One theory on the problem with Alvarez was that he wasn't seeing good pitches in A-ball, and was swinging at bad stuff. You could go two ways with this. One way is to suggest that the talent level is better in AA, which means he will be seeing better pitches. Another way to look at this is that the AA pitchers will throw him junk, knowing he will get impatient and swing. I guess we will find out which theory is correct. One thing we do know, based on his home run totals, is that if they throw him a mistake pitch, he's going to crush it.
Brad Lincoln to AAA: Lincoln started off the year slow with a 4.26 ERA in four April starts. He was on fire in May, with a 0.80 ERA in five starts, allowing just three runs in 33.2 innings pitched. The speculation began that he would be promoted, but the Pirates held off for two more starts.
That was probably smart. Although Lincoln had pitched in 11 games through the end of May, with a 1.68 ERA and an 0.87 WHIP, he had only played four different opponents. The final two starts saw Lincoln going up against someone he hadn't played once (or twice) already this season. The result there? A 2.82 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 8.1 K/9, 3.3 K/BB, and an 0.8 HR/9 ratio.
Other Promotions
The Pirates promoted three more players from Lynchburg to Altoona. The first player was Dustin Molleken, a long reliever for the Hillcats. Molleken made 18 appearances, going 41.1 innings with a 3.48 ERA, .240 BAA, and a 42:8 K/BB ratio.
I've seen him pitch a few innings in person, and he has the frame and the stuff to be a decent bullpen arm at the least (he's 6'4″, 228 lbs). I wouldn't be surprised if Molleken steps in to the Altoona rotation in the spot vacated by Lincoln. He turns 25 in August, so the time is getting close for him to make it to the majors.
The second reliever was Michael Dubee, who spent some time pitching in the late innings for Lynchburg, even getting six saves. Dubee was acquired on April 17th in a trade that sent Andy Phillips to the White Sox. The trade was minor, but could be a steal considering Dubee rates as a decent prospect.
In 25 appearances this year (23 with Lynchburg), Dubee put up a 1.45 ERA in 37.1 IP, with a 53:3 K/BB ratio, a .203 BAA, and only one home run allowed. Those are some solid numbers, especially for a guy at the back end of the bullpen. Dubee turned 23 in January, and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him in Indy by the end of the year, and possibly in Pittsburgh next year.
Finally, Miles Durham will be promoted later this week, after appearing in the Carolina League All-Star Game. Durham was second on the Hillcats in homers, with seven in 247 at-bats. Durham, a 6'4″, 205 pound right handed hitter, turned 26 in March. He was impressive this year, with a .296/.348/.490 line for the Hillcats.
Speculation and Rumors on Future Moves
-There have been a few rumors that West Virginia starter Rudy Owens would be promoted to Lynchburg soon. Owens threw five no-hit innings today, striking out seven and walking none. He hasn't allowed a walk in his last five starts, spanning 33 innings, with 32 strikeouts in that time. He's allowed no runs on five hits in 20 innings over his last three starts.
-With four players going to Altoona, and only one player (Lincoln) leaving, there is room for speculation on who else will get moved from Altoona. Some thoughts:
-Miles Durham played right field for Lynchburg. Altoona has been playing Gorkys Hernandez in right field, with Jose Tabata in center. Either Durham would move to left (with Jason Delaney possibly getting released?), or he would move to first, where Jamie Romak has been hitting .182 with five homers on the year.
-I don't think the Pirates will promote Jose Tabata. Tabata struggled in AA in the Yankees system last year, batting .248/.319/.310 with three homers in 294 at-bats. He was on fire in Altoona, with a .348/.402/.562 line and three homers in 89 at-bats. So far this season Tabata has just one homer in 84 at-bats, with a .250/.333/.321 line. He turns 21 in August, so no need to rush him.
-There is the possibility that Gorkys Hernandez could be promoted. Gorkys is hitting .291/.337/.355 from the top of the lineup this season, although he has struggled since joining the Curve with a .189/.246/.226 line. However, he's hitting .353/.421/.471 since Jose Tabata rejoined the team.
Altoona has been horrible all around this year, and Hernandez was beating up on the Eastern League before coming to the Pirates. I'd chalk the bad start up to Gorkys being the only bat in the lineup while Tabata was out. Easier to pitch around him when you've got guys like Romak hitting behind him. It's harder when Tabata is hitting behind him. This would also leave right field open for Durham.
-With room in Lynchburg, could we see Robbie Grossman promoted from West Virginia? Grossman has a .358/.416/.494 line in 81 at-bats in the month of June. Grossman was striking out in 40 percent of his at bats in April and May. He's shown a lot of improvement in that area, striking out in just 26 percent of his at-bats in the month of June. Alvarez was promoted with high strikeout totals, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the same from Grossman.
Prospect Watch
As if we didn't have enough prospect updates, some updates to The Prospect Tracker:
-Jose Tabata went 0 for 2, entering the game as a pinch-hitter, and staying in right field.
-Gorkys Hernandez went 1 for 3 with a run, and was hit by a pitch.
-Daniel Moskos went five innings allowing five runs (only one earned) on seven hits, with three walks and a
-Robbie Grossman went 1 for 5 with a walk and his 22nd stolen base of the season.
-Tony Sanchez went 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts in his second game for State College.
-Rudy Owens and Quinton Miller will be added to the Prospects Tracker in the next few days. If you have any suggestions for another player to add, feel free to leave it in the comments.
-I've changed the level information for Brad Lincoln and Pedro Alvarez on the Prospects Tracker.
-As mentioned above, I'll be going to a few upcoming Lynchburg games. The first game will be on Thursday, 6/25. The second game will be on Tuesday, 6/30. I'll be providing Twitter updates for both games. Click the link to follow me on Twitter.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Hash browns or hashed browns are a simple preparation in which potato pieces are pan-fried after being shredded, julienned, diced, or riced. In some cultures, hash browns or hashed browns can refer to any of these preparations, while in others it may refer to one specific preparation. In parts of the UK, hash browns can mean fried left over mashed potato. Hash browns are a staple breakfast food at diners in North America, where they are often fried on a large common cooktop or grill.[1]
In some parts of the United States, hash browns strictly refer to shredded or riced pan-fried potatoes and are considered a breakfast food, while potatoes diced or cubed and pan-fried are also a side dish called country fried potatoes or home fries (though many variations of home fries are par-cooked before frying). Some recipes add diced or chopped onions.[1]
Originally, the full name was "hashed brown potatoes" (or "hashed browned potatoes"), of which the first known mention is by food author Maria Parloa (1843–1909) in 1888.[2] The name was gradually shortened to 'hash brown potatoes'[3] until the most common name had become simply 'hash browns' around 1970 (although the shortened name was used in media as early as 1959, by the main character in the pilot episode of The Twilight Zone).
Some claim that hash browns may have developed out of rösti, the Swiss farmer's breakfast dish. It is a dish of hash browned potatoes that incorporates corned beef, chopped meat, leftovers, or other vegetables, it is more commonly referred to as hash or bubble and squeak, a dish that became popular in war-time Britain.[1]
A chef may prepare hash browns by forming riced potatoes into patties before frying (moisture and potato starch can hold them together); however, if a binding agent is added (egg for example), such a preparation constitutes a potato pancake. Frozen hash browns are sometimes made into patty form for ease of handling, and the compact, flat shape can also be cooked in a toaster oven or toaster. If a dish of hash browned potatoes incorporates chopped meat, leftovers, or other vegetables, it is more commonly referred to as hash.[1]

Ideas For The Control and Prevention of Profuse Body Odor
Most people know the uncomfortable feeling of sweating heavily when it's very hot or humid. Consider what it would be like if this was your reality every single day. How would you cope if, apart from sweating profusely, you also had to live with the knowledge that others could easily detect your body odor? How would it feel if, no matter what you did, you could not get rid of the unpleasant odor that emanated from your skin? How would you deal with this? Never leaving home would be tempting for many people. Sadly, this is something that many people struggle with every day. For such people, excessive sweating and body odor are part of their daily lives. Here are some tips if you suffer from these conditions. So far, we've taken the time to uncover some interesting facts about information related to "
Excessive Sweating Treatment
". Keep reading to discover more interesting tips that you probably didn't know about before reading this article.
If you suffer from excessive sweating and body odor the first thing you need to do is set up a regular bathing schedule. Be sure to bathe or shower a minimum of once per day. This simple step will help rinse your pores and rid them of odor causing bacteria. This also gets rid of dried on sweat that has accumulated during the day and night. Many will find it necessary to bathe multiple times per day. You MUST take a bath or shower every day regardless of what barriers may try to keep you from doing it.
Medical advice may be the only way for some to deal with body odor issues, however. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are the most common prescriptions. These medications are good at keeping a person calm and even tempered. Your body's natural reaction to anger or anxiety is to increase the sweat gland's production. By remaining calm when under stress, you will sweat less. When you sweat less, you will find it easier to deal with any body odor.
This is going to sound strange but did you know that vinegar is a natural remedy for body odor? Simply dampen a small towel or cotton ball with white vinegar daily and use it on the places of your body that sweat profusely. You will have to tolerate a vinegar odor on you briefly. What happens, though, is that as the odor of vinegar fades, your body odor problem will also have faded, or at least lessened. This actually works, even if it sounds odd! There aren't many remedies cheaper than vinegar, either!
Sweating is not something most people enjoy. For the majority of people, though, sweating is something that only happens occasionally and is not uncontrollable. For some of us, though, sweating and body odor are embarrassing problems that are very difficult to control. Thankfully there are many methods for counteracting excessive sweating and body odor. You can try some over the counter medications that may help your situation. There are also more advanced possibilities, that a doctor can advise you about, if these don't work for you. Remember, this is not something that is impossible to treat, you just have to search until you find the method that works for you.

Channel Your Inner Snookie Through Social Media and Get a Tan Through Your Phone
Categories: Silicon Beach
Everywhere we look lately, we see the Situation fist-pumping, JWoww getting into a fistfight, or Snooki being Snooki (even the New York Times has recently taken a stab at her). As much as we'd like to be able to live our lives just hitting the gym, tanning, and doing laundry, we simply don't have the time. Until now. In honor of Jersey Shore's Season 2 premiere this Thursday, MTV has released a Facebook game and an iPhone app that has GTL (gym, tan, laundry) readily available if you're always on the go.
• Get fresh to death -- Remember gym, tan, and laundry every day, for life.
• Hit the streets -- Play against your friends and strangers.
• Pick out some new gear -- Visit the store for new moves, specials, and clothing.
We tested it, and it takes awhile to do the "jobs" (about two minutes), and all you'll see is just a little bar at the bottom saying how much time is remaining. This tedious little task is necessary, though, to be able to earn money and points to use on accessories you'll need when you "hit the streets" and battle friends or strangers. It looks a lot like the game Street Fighter -- and you can throw pickles, "grenades," "beat the beat," and other objects to win the most points/earn the most money.
The developers really incorporated the show into this one, with stuff like hippos, clingers, Ron Ron juice, and Snooki's cartwheel all available for purchase as you pass each level. MTV promises to add new features after every episode of Season 2, making it even more interactive and more Miami-centric.
If you want to see what you'd look like if you were one of those Jersey Shore kids, you can "Jersey Shore Yourself" with this online game. You can start from scratch, building your eyes, face, hair, body, outfit, accessories, and backdrop. We chose Miami as a backdrop and a cell phone as our accessory, of course.
Oh, and MTV is also planning a "Spread Snooki" iPhone app, promising to allow users to superimpose the tiny woman's face or a fist-pumping arm into existing photos on your phone. You can also add her to photos as they're taken. It's kind of like insta-Photoshop, Jersey Shore style. It'll be released on iTunes later this week, though a specific date hasn't yet been announced.
There's a free, interactive iPhone app called "Jersey Shore Party App" that's already been released too. You can generate a nickname and compete in a fist-pump challenge (which actually tells you how many calories you're burning and stats like how many "fist pumps per minute" you're reaching). The app also offers handy pick-up lines and makes your phone do double duty as a color-changing glowstick and a portable fake tanning bed. We're not kidding. See the run-throughs of it below and tell us what you think: social media genius or colossal waste of time?
