Congestive heart failure is an increasingly important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is the number one cause of hospitalization among individuals aged 65 and over. The United States Medicare system pays out more for the care of congestive heart failure than it does for all forms of cancer combined. While this is a challenge for the US healthcare system, it indicates a strong market opportunity for pharmaceutical companies involved in CHF treatment.
Kalorama Information's Congestive Heart Failure, Major World Markets series looks at CHF treatment. Volume I of this series looks at Pharmaceutical Treatments in the following key categories which are used to treat this disease:

The acting is dead on and the premise is worth watching, but well,....a little of this goes a long way.
An ill-conceived, poorly executed John Cassavetes-wannabe that doesn't know if it wants to be a film, a play, or an audiobook.
I don't suspect that many people who've read "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" ever expected to see a film adaptation.
I bought this DVD because it is a work by Jim from The Office.
It was just ok. I was a little bored. I think the book is probably a lot better. Read more
John Krasinski's "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" film adaptation of David Foster Wallace's book is an abomination. Read morePublished 12 months ago by Dysthymia83
The story reveals it self at the end, but far too long after I lost interest and stopped paying attention. Good acting, but poor adaptation.Published on January 29, 2011 by Rachel A. Flavin
i love david foster wallace... this film is shallow... i recommend you to read his books...Published on September 17, 2010 by Joan Winter

The tiny-tcpd program is a small, simple inetd-like TCP server. It listens for incoming TCP connections and for each connection request it receives, it runs a program. The standard input of the program is receiving data from network and data written by the program to standart output is sent to the network. The standard error is not redirect, so it can be used by the program to print its status and error messages.
tiny-tcpd is as small and simple as possible to be usefull and heavily commented for educational purpose.

I am looking around for a good free .Net pdf library, in particular to generate data in tables easily and flexibly. I have seen iTextSharp but this requires a license from what I've read. There is also PDFSharp which looks promising using MigraDoc for table generation. Is there anything else anyone recommends?
Thanks in advance.

158 Tips on mLearning: From Planning to Implementation
August 22, 2013
Contributing Editor, Karen Forni
It seems like everything is changing in the mobile world: Smartphone and tablet adoption has skyrocketed, users have discovered unexpected ways of using their mobile devices, and many organizations have moved from thinking about mLearning to actual development and implementation. Last year, the big question was "Should we do mLearning?" This year, the question is "How should we do mLearning?"
In the process of developing and implementing mLearning, many learning professionals have discovered what works and what doesn't. The good news is that many of the skills necessary for creating excellent eLearning have also proven valuable for creating excellent mLearning, but there are new skills we need to develop, too.
We've captured some of the most current knowledge on mLearning by asking 23 experts to share what they've learned. They've provided 158 tips on mLearning, in areas including:
- Selling mLearning to stakeholders
- Managing mLearning projects
- Analyzing learners' mLearning needs and preferences
- Designing for mobile
- Selecting and using mLearning tools and platforms
- Working with mLearning media
- Migrating and managing mLearning content
- Using mobile for performance support
- Delivering mLearning
- Measuring mLearning success
- Prospering in a multi-device world

Alison Knezevich reports on crime and courts in Baltimore County. She has been covering the county since 2011, when she joined The Sun as Baltimore County government reporter. She previously worked at the the Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette, where she reported on state politics and other topics. She grew up in Pittsburgh and is a graduate of Northwestern University.
Two members of the Baltimore County Fire Department have been suspended without pay amid a police investigation into alleged sexual misconduct at the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company.
A 93-year-old man died after his car collided with a tractor-trailer that was making a U-turn in Dundalk on Tuesday night, Baltimore County police say.
A 39-year-old man admitted in Baltimore County Circuit Court on Monday that he killed his ex-girlfriend with a butcher knife as she lay in bed for an afternoon nap, and then fled to South Carolina with one of their daughters in a case that sparked a multistate manhunt last year.
The Annapolis Police Department says it is conducting an internal investigation after a city dispatcher accessed a law enforcement database to find personal information about a 911 Center employee in Baltimore County.
Baltimore County detectives checked advertisements on the website Backpage.com this week in a St. Patrick's Day prostitution sting that ended in the arrest of two men — one the son of a prominent Baltimore attorney — on human trafficking charges, court documents show.
The mother of a man who authorities named "Public Enemy No. 1" for his alleged role in a string of violent crimes urged a Baltimore County judge to see that her son "does have a heart." But prosecutors called him a danger to society who needs to be locked away.

We use the LoopRope LoopClips to tie horses safely. We use them just about everywhere - on the trailer, on barns, anywhere we can tie something secure and attach a LoopClip to it. They really work fantastic for our purposes. Thanks!
Francis Lewis / "LoopRope really works fantastic!"
The guys love them! We now all carry them in our vehicles and my husband is constantly using his when he hauls equipment. One of my sons calls them the perfect MacGyver tool because we use them for everything. Great product, I will definitely be back for more.
Jenny W. / "The perfect MacGyver tool!"
Thanks for your awesome product! I use it on my motto and whenever I take my backpack out on an adventure. It's been great!
Joshua Charles Hemenway / "Great product I will definitely be back for more."
Just to let you know Jeff, I have 8 LoopRopes that I keep on my quad during archery season. Just got back from a 29-day hunt, during which we were quite successful and used the ropes on the trailer with gear, on the quad with mule deer, and our ladder stands, tree stands, and just around camp for various needs. They got dusty; we just washed them and used them over and over. Great product!
R.G. Woolley / "Great product!"
I used my two loop ropes exactly as they are shown to hang 8 fishing rods and reels from my Snug top camper shell. I had used Berkeley rod holders for years and was tired of fighting loose screws and worn holders. The loop rope is so flexible that it adjust to the rod lengths and the weight of the rod and reel is no problem. Great product.
Richard Johnson / "CAN'T CONTROL IT, LOOP IT!"

Two students of IIT-Madras have been offered $2,10,000 (over Rs. 1 crore) per annum by an American multinational company in this year's placements, which began on the campus on Sunday.
As a matter of policy, the institution does not disclose details of the company or the candidate concerned. However, this is a significant increase in remuneration offered – last year, the highest job offer was for $1,50,000 per annum.
As many as 1,366 students registered for placements this year, compared to 1,282 last year, Lt. Col Jayakumar, deputy registrar (placements), said. The number of domestic and international job offers too, increased significantly this year, said IIT-M officials.
Companies that recruited at the campus on the first two days include Samsung Electronics, M/S Epic, Microsoft India, Oracle, Google, Capital One Services, LinkedIn and eBay, among others. Over 150 job offers have been made over the course of two days.
Placement committee sources said over 270 companies are scheduled to visit IIT-M this season. Salary packages offered by Indian companies too, have gone up significantly, sources said.
Students said that this year, core engineering companies and financial firms were more sought after than technology giants. "This year, we have interesting profiles in research-allied areas and investment banking sectors that were not offered in the past," a student said.

The ole' famous Queen Sacrifice! Thanks for the lesson!
A bit hard
Good day; bonne journée.
Fine puzzle.
no mistakes.
What if the opposition captures the queen with the f7 pawn instead of the h7 pawn?
moving the f7 pawn places black in check because of the whites bishop on c4.
Black had no viable options. His f-pawn is pinned.
1. ... Kh8, 2. Bf6#
after 1. ... hxg6, there is nothing black can do to prevent or interrupt the 2. Bf6 .... , 3. Rh8# sequence.
very nice and instructive.
Goog problem.
So easy.
Great puzzle,unline the one yesterday,which stinks !
Very nice!
nice sacrifying queen.........
easy and nice

Frank Ocean and fun. Lead 2013 Grammy Nominees
December 6, 2012 by HRC staff
This post comes from Matt Aycock, HRC's Youth & Campus Outreach Intern
Nominees for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards were announced on Wednesday, and leading the competition with six mentions is openly bisexual singer-songwriter Frank Ocean.
The rising star of hip-hop and R&B swept the major categories with nods for Best New Artist, Album of the Year (Channel Orange), and Record of the Year ("Thinkin Bout You"). Ocean came out in a July 4th post on Tumblr, making him one of the first African-American musicians to come out. His debut album later entered at number one on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and has sold almost half a million copies worldwide.
Indie pop group and equality advocates fun. also received six nominations and will compete against Ocean in the Album of the Year (Some Nights) and Best New Artist categories. Their #1 hit "We Are Young" with Janelle Monáe is also up for Song of the Year. Guitarist Jack Abramoff of fun. joined HRC's Americans for Marriage Equality campaign in May, and the band toured college campuses this fall to raise awareness for LGBT rights.
The success of artists like Frank Ocean and fun. sends an empowering message to LGBT youth that there are no heights to which they can't aspire, and their activism goes to show that support for equality is the new mainstream. Tune in to CBS on February 10th to see who takes home Grammy gold.

Tuesday 31 Mar 2015
By Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 14 August 2014
Three companies linked to Helge Achenbach, the German art adviser who was arrested on suspicion of fraud in June, filed a bankruptcy petition at the Düsseldorf Magistrate's court on 7 August. The companies—The State of the Art, Achenbach Art Consulting and the gastronomy company Monkey's—are all part of the umbrella organisation Achenbach Group.
See also:
Achenbach is accused of defrauding the late Aldi-supermarket heir and art collector Berthold Albrecht of €18m by falsifying invoices to inflate purchase prices. Achenbach was arrested on 10 June and remains in custody. Benjamin Achenbach, Helge's son and the representative of the Achenbach Group, filed the bankruptcy petition after discovering that the three companies were insolvent. According to a statement issued by the group, "major assets are currently blocked by court injunctions". The companies are therefore "unable to sell works of art and to make payments". The bankruptcy proceedings were initiated to "rehabilitate" the Achenbach Group, the statement says.

First issue cover
|Publication information
|Top Cow Productions
|First appearance
|Cyberforce #1
|Created by
|Marc Silvestri, Eric Silvestri
|In-story information
Cyberforce (also rendered Cyber Force) is an Image Comics super-hero team created by artist Marc Silvestri and writer Eric Silvestri in 1992.[1]
Production and publishing[edit]
Silvestri began by performing both the plotting and pencilling chores, but the series was subsequently drawn by other artists, including David Finch. The title was originally published through Homage Studios, a studio Silvestri shared with Jim Lee, as a four-part mini-series (Volume 1, 1992–1993). Soon afterwards, Silvestri formed Top Cow Productions and Cyberforce received a regular monthly series (Volume 2, 35 issues, 1993–1997), the first few issues crossing over with WildC.A.T.s for the "Killer Instinct" story. Since then, Cyberforce has been published by Top Cow.[2]
In 2006, the series was resurrected with moderate success, written this time by Ron Marz and pencilled by Alex Milne, who was hired by credited penciller Pat Lee.[citation needed]
On October 17, 2012, Top Cow debuted the fourth volume of an ongoing Cyberforce series, which was part of the company's Top Cow Rebirth initiative, and funded through KickStarter.[3][4] The first five issues of the comic are free. Silvestri provided concept art for the retooled series, which incorporates elements of cyberpunk, while Khoi Pham, who had been an exclusive artist for Marvel Comics for five years at that point, was hired to illustrate the series, which marked his first non-Marvel work.[5]
CF characters[edit]
Ballistic made semi-regular appearances in the Cyberforce series, and subsequently appeared in a three-issue self-titled mini-series in 1995. She also co-starred in a single issue crossover with Marvel Comics' Wolverine in 1997.[citation needed]
Storylines and style[edit]
1992-97: Homage version[edit]
The original comic book focused on a team of mutants who had all been captured by Cyberdata, an enormous corporation with ambitions of taking over the world. Cyberdata was run by brilliant scientists who had created advanced cybernetics technology and had employed this technology to create "Special Hazardous Operations Cyborg" or S.H.O.C.s. The captured mutants were all used in the experiments that had led to the creation of the S.H.O.C.s, and had had their mutant abilities enhanced with cybernetic implants. The mutants escaped and banded together as Cyberforce to put an end to Cyberdata's plans.
2006: Resurrection arc[edit]
In the 2006 storyline, the team returns from their final mission and is confronted with a threat by their alien forebearers. The book also established a new look for the team, a new base of operations, and changes to the team's roster, including the return of Heatwave, Stryker and Impact. Impact was subsequently killed, later in the storyline. Other character arcs explored the romantic relationship between Ripclaw and Velocity.
2012: Rebirth version[edit]
In 2012, the new version, which incorporated elements of cyberpunk, was released. The first issue received a positive review from Benjamin Bailey of the gaming organization IGN, who thought the issue was good relative to its free price. He found the post-apocalyptic setting interesting and genuine and enjoyed the structure of the story. Though Bailey found the characters somewhat lacking, he stated that there was enough in the book to interest readers in the second issue, which he stressed needed to provide more character development. Bailey was also underwhelmed by Pham's art, which he felt was inconsistent, particularly with respect to his rendition of technology.[6]
1995-96: Animated series[edit]
A half-hour Cyberforce animated series was planned for the 1995-96 season on Fox as part of an hour block with a proposed Youngblood series.[7][8] The series never got beyond planning stages with completed character designs and a model sheet was featured in magazines.

Battlefield 3
Good PC specs?
Hey all, I'm thinking about purchasing a used desktop for gaming as my laptop is getting very outdated. Just wondering how battlefield 3 would hold up with these specs and if this purchase is worth my time and money.
3 gig ram
600 watt power supply
evga gtx 260 core 216 superclocked edition
320 gig baraccuda hard drive
5.1 surround sound card
cooler master heat sink
dont know bout 3 gigs of ram
Lenovo Y470p - Intel Quad Core 2670QM- i7 @ 2.20ghz - 8GB Ram - AMD Radeon 7690m - Windows 7
I forgot to mention the processor: core 2 duo E6600
Probably run decently on medium settings, what resolution are you going to be playing at though?
Of course I was elected, Sweet America.
The GPU is okay(probably low or medium smooth, depending on the resolution
For multiplayer, I'm not sure if the CPU is going to cut it
Super Mario Kart is the single best Mario Kart ever!
too slow; I run on an E8400 and with a Radeon 6670 I am barely breaking 40 fps on all low at 720p with 5 GB of RAM.

B. luxurians propagation
A couple years ago I posted an attempt to propagate B. luxurians from a leaf cutting. It failed (although a leaf rooted), and I had to give the plant away due to a move.
I just bought a new plant, partly with the intent of propagating it. It looked like multiple cuttings had been planted in one pot, and I figured I would just save one and reduce the rest to cuttings and some rooted pieces.
Here's what the plant looked like initially. It was $22.99 at DIG gardens, in Santa Cruz, which is one of the better small nurseries in the area.
And a top view:
For now I just split off the parts that looked like they came from the original strongest cutting. I think it looks better as one plant in a pot instead of 3-4:
And here is the rest of what was in the original pot:
Instead of turning those into cuttings (plus rooted pieces) now, I decided to pot them up, let them adjust a little bit, then start removing cuttings.
They are all potted up and I'll follow up again when I take cuttings off these.
Mark, what a beautiful luxurians. It's awful you had to give it up.
It took me a year to find a true B. luxurians. I ordered from Ebay and online nurseries, only to be sent different cultivars, mainly 'Stewart.'
Recieved begonias unlike the pictures sellers posted. Scam!
I recently found a true B. luxurians, and although it's only a seedling, and cost was 60+, I'm happy.
May I ask how you care for yours? Light, humidity?
Also, I'm unsure how you got your luxurians to root.
Hello Woebegonia. How you doing? And how are your little b. luxurian seedlings doing? Toni
Hi Toni,
I still have the new plant(s). A year and a half ago I had to give up the other two B. luxurians I picked up a couple years ago at Strybing sales. These are the two I gave away:
One of those plants (on the right) I had had for a few months and repotted. I bought it as a $6 plant. The other (in the gallon pot) was less than $10, but I don't remember exactly.
I don't remember how I rooted it in the past, but I remember it being easy. I suspect I just stuck a piece in a pot of soil (potting soil + perlite probably) and left it outside. I need to start more cuttings, and since the plants I have now seem happy, I'll start some soon. I did send an unrooted cutting last week to someone.
The ones I currently have are outside against a fence that faces more or less East. I think it gets a lot of shade on top of that, and if it gets any significant sun it's probably in the morning. Our temps average about 80/55 in the summer, 60/40 in the winter. I think our humidity is variable, and lowest in the summer days, but generally high at night. We are in a fairly sunny part of the Bay Area, but I think we get more ocean/bay influence than say Palo Alto or San Jose, and less than San Francisco.
The plants I had a couple years ago were in a similar climate, about 20 miles South. The climate there is perhaps a little less influenced by the ocean/bay. Both were outside near the house, one got some afternoon sun (which I don't think it appreciated) the other in a spot with morning sun.
The plant is not hard to come by in the Bay Area right now. I wouldn't say common--you won't see it at Home Depot, but it is carried by several of the major wholesalers, so it's at a lot of nurseries, especially in the cooler areas (cooler in summer, warmer in winter). Strybing Arboretum also sells it, but often only one or two (or none) at a time. I think they mostly get cuttings from the private plant(s) of one of the volunteers (someone who has posted on Gardenweb, mostly in the Passiflora forum, I think.). Strybing will be having their big Spring sale on Saturday (Friday for members): http://www.sfbotanicalgarden.org/plant_sales/12-annual_plant_sale.htm
Annie's Annuals is also another local source, and of course they also sell mail order (I understand postage is steep). I was at Annie's and took a photo a week ago:
The Annie's plants are $9.95 (the purple color code of the tags). The other Begonia in the photo is B. 'Gene Daniels'. I gave my mom that plant a few months ago and it's not yet big enough for me to sneak a cutting.
Annie's is also a wholesaler and their plants are available at some retail nurseries in California. I have not seen this one, although it could likely be special ordered.
I notice that there is still a seller on Ebay with a plant called 'Stewart's' luxurians, but a picture of B. luxurians, implying that the plant magically turns into that.
Toni, great to hear you got a reasonable price and good luck with your plant. If disaster strikes, send me an email and I'll send you something (it may or may not have roots).
Just an update. I finally got around to starting some cuttings, two inside (one in 1:1 potting soil:perlite, the other straight perlite), and one outside in perlite. Both cuttings inside have very small roots. The one outside has none, so far. I started them 2-3 weeks ago, I think, and forgot to write down the exact date.
Below is a cutting rooted inside in perlite, 2-3 weeks. I probably intended to cut the end closer to the node, remove the bottom leaf and bury the node. I would presumably bury the node when planting the cutting.
They do need high humidity to prevent wilting, and I've enclosed all the cuttings in some sort of chamber or ziploc bag.
The plants themselves are doing great and growing nicely. The big one is apparently top heavy, and blew over in some strong winds. It appears to be undamaged.
I wanted to mention that 3 of the 3 cuttings I started have rooted. So I'm going to go ahead and take a lot more (probably about 8). At some point I will be interested in sending these, either in trade or for postage.
I decided to check the size of the biggest plant that I had separated. I didn't realize how big it had grown, over just two months:
So perhaps I should trade a rooted cutting for a big pot, and maybe also a machete.
In case anyone is wondering what conditions this is growing in, it's against a fence that faces mostly East, with a lot of trees and buildings blocking some of the morning sun that it does get. I kept the plant constantly moist in soil that's half perlite and probably fertilized twice.
I gave a link to our April/May/June weather below. About half the days were in the 60s, but with quite a bit of variability. The low was typically about 50. The plant will be outside all year.
Here is a link that might be useful: San Carlos, CA weather in April, May, June
Here's an update on the plant and cuttings. The biggest plant continues to get much bigger, quickly. Here it is today, compared with the previous photos. This is the growth over 4 months.
(The relative scales are approximate. I'm trying to get it roughly right by keeping the pot size approximately constant.)
The plant is in bud, and I'm trying to decide when the best time is to repot it. I might plant it or perhaps one of the other plants in the ground.
Our weather in the June 14-August 9 period has been somewhat strange. Highs have ranged from 59 to 98, with an average of 74. An average low of 56. No rain, as is typical.
The first set of 3 cuttings I attempted all rooted and look great. From a few days ago:
I just gave away all 3 of those cuttings, at a 75th birthday party for my mom where plants were the party favors.
The next set of cuttings did not go so well. I think I ran into a problem with fungus. Still, I should get 1 or 2 plants out of that. I need to start another set of cuttings now--I have plenty of material. I hope to get enough where I can offer some for postage, but I can't send them out of the country, even to Canada.
Mark, OMG!!! Your B. luxurians are amazing..and the cuttings!!!
Rooting in Perlite. How often did you did you fertilize unrooted cuttings?
Do you keep cuttings outdoors, too?
I can't believe how fast they grew. The one I bought on Ebay isn't doing well. Last week it went outside..
With several weeks @ 100F and higher, and w/o a/c, my Begonias took a turn for the worse.
Some types, over 5=yrs old, kicked the bucket. Sun was harsh, and temps way too high. No breeze. It felt like a desert without cooler nights.
It's sad the second batch had problems. What do you think caused it?
You're lucky you can keep Begonias outdoors, year round.
Your Begonias are gorgeous...Toni
Hi Toni,
I've rooted cuttings mostly indoors, but one outdoors. The one outdoors (one of my first 3) was slightly slower, but not by much. Once rooted I tried to get the cuttings into soil and then outside as fast as reasonably possible. I don't fertilize anything without roots, and if my cuttings did get any fertilizer it was only in the last couple weeks.
It looks like I will likely get 2 and hopefully a third from my second batch of cuttings (starting with seven total, I think). I have had problems with fungus at my current/new location that I'm not used to. I have not figured out a solution, but I just started another batch (5 so far...) and I'm keeping them outside with the hope that the cooler temperatures and higher light will help--we'll see.
A week ago I was at the SF Botanical Garden (aka Strybing) and I was told, by a member of the Begonia Society, I think, that a few years back there was a B. luxurians that was 20 feet tall. I don't know if this was an exaggeration or not. Today I was back there for one of their monthly sales. I picked up a nice Begonia 'Paul Hernandez' (B. luxurians x B. gehrtii) about 20 inches tall ($8), as well as a big sprawling Begonia toledana ($10). That would be a great place to quickly get a big collection of Begonias, both indoor and outdoor, for a good price. Plus, free advice from people who really know their stuff. I'll post a picture on the "where do you buy your Begonias?" thread.
They also had Stewart's luxurians for sale, blooming in a small pot, maybe 8 inches tall ($6). I was reminded that there is an Ebay seller STILL (and Toni I know you were burned) selling Stewart's luxurians with a picture of B. luxurians. The B. luxurians does not appear to be provided to show one of the parents, but instead seems intended to suggest that the little plant one buys somehow morphs into a B. luxurians. A truly deceptive auction (or series of auctions). I forgot my camera; otherwise I would have started another thread to remind people that that is what the little plant looks like when mature. It's really sad to think that people are still being deceived.
Hi Mark,
So, indoor cuttings root faster? Interesting.
Did your area have 'more than usual' high humidity? Could too much air moisture be the reason for mildew? I no longer use Root Tone, 'propagating,' but it's supposed to prevent disease, etc..
When I first saw B. Lux, I did research. Most sites stated they can reach 15-20', so it's possible the person who told you about the large Begonia was being truthful. I'd love to see that plant! Better yet, own that plant..lol
Wow, nice Begonias at great bargains. Wish we had different shows around here. There are two places that have shows..one at Navy Pier in Chicago..but most vendors bring ordinary plants at expesive prices..I won't go downtown anymore..Rip Offs!
Another place, Botanical Gardens, has a monthly show/fair from Mar-Sept/Oct. But it's a drive and a half, and prices are a bit high, too..
Marked, I was burmed 3 times, 'different sellers'.
It's terrible when sellers post a different picture. I was so excited finding the three Luxurians only to discover they were Stewarts.
I was told, once they matured, the new foliage would be thin, but I didn't buy it. Moreso when new foliage grew, it was the same size as others. Thicker leaves. Thankfully, none were over-priced, but that's not the point..
Mark, your pics tell it all. If anyone wants a true B. Luxurians, all they have to do is look at your photos. Thanks, Toni
Hi Toni,
The cutting that rooted more slowly outside--I think it was roughly 3 weeks vs. 2 weeks for those inside. I'm really aggressive when it comes to looking at cuttings, especially when they are of something I haven't propagated much before. I'm not sure the difference is meaningful. The outside temperature would be a lot more variable, and certainly cooler at night, always dropping into the 50s.
The fungus was actually the "furry" type of mold, and was associated with the fact that I enclosed the cuttings, usually in plastic bags. I first tried without and they immediately wilted. So the humidity they experienced was extremely high. Our humidity outside is pretty variable, and we are not in an area that gets much fog. It's almost always sunny here. I did not have many problems with fungus when I rooted cuttings (of many different things) in my old location, so this is new to me.
I checked the Ebay seller whose pictures suggest the little plants transform into B. luxurians. People have bid more than $30 for these plants.
Hi Mark,
Did you use a heat mat for seedlings?
When you placed cuttings in a plastic bag, did you make slits for ventilation?
Just curious.
I don't root as many plants as I used to, 'space issues,' but when I did, I made slits in plastic for air.
Mark, I'm not telling you what to do, please don't think I am. I'm certain you're much more advanced than I.
I have a genergic seedling propagator..Plastic tray w/plastic dome. The dome has a slide to open for ventilation. And a heat mat, too.
What did you mean when you said you're agressive when it comes to looking at cuttings? How so?
Mark screams at seeds, 'YOU'D BETTER GROW!!!' lol
Possibly, 50F degrees night temps, halted germinating a tad?
Aw, so you relocated. Yes, temps/humidity/light makes a difference in growing/rooting/sowing. Guess it's a matter of experimenting. Did you move to a different city/state or a new house?
Don't know if this is fact or fiction, but I read cinnamon prevents mold, mildew and rot.
I have a Brughamia Insignis..A succulent. The main trunk, 'top' started to rot. I chopped off a tiny section, and sprinkled Cinnamon..this happened last summer..The plant is now doing well, new foliage.
Well, good luck, Mark. I hope all your cuttings root without problems.
I went to Ebay, typed in Begonia luxurians. There are two sellers..both international. One is selling seeds, the second plugs. Does the sellers name start with a T?
I couldn't find the number of ppl who bought Begonias from him/her.
30.00! God, then there's shipping, too. That's awful.
I don't see why B. lux are so scarce. And when one is available, too expensive.
I'd love to find another, but a true B. lux, at a reasonable price.
Now I fear finding one on Ebay..Thanks..lol. j/k.
IL is much cooler now..too cool for August. The month of July was very very hot..100-104F w/high humidity..I love warmth, but nowadays, 100 w/70% humidity is too hot, even for me..lol.
However, most plants seem to enjoy the drop, and humdiity is still up..Another gray day w/some sprinkles.
Hi Toni,
I've used bottom heat occasionally for cuttings, rarely if ever for seeds. I really don't grow too many things from seeds.
I know that many people ventilate their cuttings somehow. I've never had problems in the past; maybe I need to start now. I've always wondered whether more spores, etc. might get in that way (?). Probably it helps, because any spores might be less likely to grow in lower humidity.
One thing I like, however, about keeping things completely closed is that if there is some sort of bug or whatever on a cutting it stays isolated. One spider mite on a cutting can soon become dozens or even hundreds. It's nice if it's trapped.
I used to live about 45 miles from San Francisco (closer to San Jose). Now I live about 20 miles north, about halfway (25 miles) from both San Jose and San Francisco. The climate is different in subtle ways--less hot in summer, less cold in winter. Perhaps a different fungus/mold population exists in the area or maybe just inside. I don't know.
I'm "aggressive" in the sense that I dig up cuttings and check for roots--frequently. Perhaps that's not the best word. "Invasive" seemed to have other connotations, so I was looking for a better word... Most people would be afraid of breaking off any roots. It's not a problem as long as one is careful. I really like to be aware of when cuttings are rooting and to find problems as soon as they arise.
I've tried cinnamon a little bit to prevent/control fungus and wasn't convinced either way. I doubt I would ever be motivated to sprinkle it on all my cuttings, even if it did work. And EVERYTHING would smell like cinnamon. I guess there are worse smells.
If you are looking for another B. luxurians, you are welcome to a cutting assuming things behave.
Regarding sellers--it might be worth pointing out who is selling the genuine plant, and give names. Strange Wonderful Things (Jeff H.) without a doubt sells the correct plant. I've seen pictures from both Clackamas Orchids ("canbyorchid" on Ebay) and the seller "doctortaco" that are clearly the right thing. Are there others? I think the plant is popular in the UK, so probably sellers there have the right thing. The plant is available locally: wholesalers San Marcos Growers, Monterey Bay Nursery, Annie's Annuals all sell the correct plant. I would guess that plants coming from the Bay Area should be genuine, in general. The hybrids are harder to find around here. It looks like Kartuz is selling the plant at the moment. That one is certainly the correct plant as well.
The questionable Ebay seller that I was thinking of is the one that comes up selling "Stewart S luxurians" if one does a search of completed auctions. The seller shows a picture of a mature B. luxurians leaf first, then pictures of small plants that are presumably Stewart's luxurians. He/she needs to make clear that the first picture is of one of the parents, and the plant he/she is selling will not resemble this when mature.
Here is a link that might be useful: Begonia luxurians at Kartuz
I can't believe my post went through..We have a terrible internet connection. Yesterday, after finishing my post, when I clicked submit, the next page said, cannot open page..when this happens, all is lost. I was so, well, irked I turned off the puter the entire day! lol
I never once thought about a cutting that possibly has mites/mealy, and the fact they can't escape if there's no ventilation..Good point.
Yes, heat will speed up cuttings/germination..
Sorry, thought you said you sowed seeds, too.
Do we have micro-climates in our homes? lol. Maybe mold/mildew spores are in different parts of our homes..Different temp/humidity, etc??
You're a root spy..lol. That, I'm not..If foliage from cuttings are doing well, I let them be...
A girl I met on GW used to ask me for cuttings, ALL THE TIME. She'd end up killing more cuttings by sneaking a peak, then ask for more of the same plant. She and I no longer talk.
But, if it works, so be it. We do things our own ways.
Oh yes, there are a many terrible odors. I love cinnamon, especially around fall. Stores sells decorations cinnamon scented.
Maybe you'd need to live in the midwest to understand.
Have you ever been in the midwest?
Bad odor. One example is Fish Emulsion. I fertilize some plants w/FE. The house smells fishy about 3 days..lol..
Also, before plants come in before our horrid winters, I spray each w/FE. It kills and prevents Scale bug. I also add other ingredients, and believe me, it works..But our home smells like a fish market..lol.
Thanks for the heads-up on Ebay. I'll have to keep those sellers in mind.
About Kartuz..I've ordered from Kartuz a number of times. Last year I ordered B. luxurians. Mark, they sent a Stewart..not the skinny=finger type.
Perhaps they now sell the correct Luxurians, but not last year.
I should write and ask which type they have. I don't want another Stewart..lol.
I didn't see any other sellers on Ebay who sold B. Lux, only the two international sellers, and one had seed. That might be the same person I ordered seeds from last year, which never germinated..Tried twice, w/o success..not a third time. Maybe I should have typed sometime other than begonia luxurians in the seach box..on Ebay??
Thanks for everything Mark. Toni
Hi Toni,
Cuttings can be safely checked if one is careful. See for example the link at the bottom.
I love the smell of cinnamon and hate the taste and smell of fish (and any seafood). I can't imagine everything smelling like cinnamon, though, although I would certainly prefer it over anything fishy. I have been to the Midwest many times--I have dozens of relatives there. I haven't lived there, though.
I'm surprised Kartuz sent you the wrong thing. Did you ask and give them a chance to correct their mistake? They certainly know what the correct plant is and I'm sure they don't intentionally send out the wrong thing. I guess I'm under the impression that Worley made the 'Paul Hernandez' luxurians hybrid when he was with Kartuz. I think Brad Thompson made the 'Vista Quest' luxurians hybrid (Kartuz is in Vista) and I've heard he is close to the nursery. Actually a search also finds posts on a Yahoo Begonia group from Michael Kartuz himself about B. luxurians. He said just a couple months ago that the plant cannot be propagated by leaves, as he has tried (unfortunately GW will not let me post the link...).
Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora cuttings that were repeatedly inspected
I checked the cuttings I started a couple weeks ago. Three had roots, two did not.
I repotted the biggest B. luxurians, in what was sold to me as a 3 gallon pot. It looks about twice the volume of what it was in. This was a couple days ago--the plant appears unchanged. No picture.
I decided to put one of the smaller plants in the ground. This is one that I had been using as a source of cuttings. Most of the growth that you can see is from a new cane that recently shot up. The plant is slightly wilting in the photo. It was fairly dry when I planted it, and it had already wilted slightly. I planted it close to the fence, because the yard is covered with flagstones. I had to break off the corner of one to sneak it in this spot.
The soil here is really bad--hopefully the plant will make it. I chose not to amend the soil, but just see what happens. Our soil is adobe clay. Here's a photo of a few pieces that I peeled off the trowel I was digging with. It really feels like modeling clay.
I was worried that the corner I planted it in was a little too dark. However, I keep a Brugmansia sanguinea there, and it bloomed nicely in May. So it should be OK. The Brugmansia will stay--there should be room for both. I also used this as an excuse to finally cut the Brugmansia back and move it to a larger pot.

I have a java program that connects to a database and I'm trying to update something in the database using prepared statements and parameterized queries. Here is part my code :
updateValSetId = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE COLUMNNAME " +
"SET COLUMNDISPLAYNAME = ? + ' Value Set Identifier' " +
"WHERE COLUMNDISPLAYNAME = ? + 'VALSETID' and TABLENAME = ?");
the first couple values I'm putting in for the question mark arguments are 1- Account, 2- ACCT, the third one doesn't matter. MY QUESTION IS---> is there any way to combine the question mark to a string value? the addition sign doesn't work I get the error " ORA=01722: invalid number "
after I looked up what that error meant I changed my code to something like this :
updateValSetId = con.prepareStatement("UPDATE COLUMNNAME " +
"SET COLUMNDISPLAYNAME = '? Value Set Identifier' " +
"WHERE COLUMNDISPLAYNAME = '?VALSETID' and TABLENAME = ?");
that didn't work either. So again is there any way to combine the question marks with strings?
EDIT----------> I decided to take out the string text after the ? and put it in a different spot:
updateValSetId.setString(1, f.getValue() + " Value Set Identifier");
updateValSetId.setString(2, f.getKey() + "VALSETID");
updateValSetId.setString(3, e.getKey());
This is after my prepared statements, when I'm assigning the values to the ? parameter. the 'f' and the 'e' are hashmaps that I have data stored in, and I'm wondering why the above code doesn't work either when I add the string to the value i get from getValue and getKey. I don't get any errors, it compiles and runs but it doesn't update the values I want it to in the database. For example, ACCT is the first key and Account is the first value, so when they get passed in they should end up being added to the string I have after the getters, and therefore the database should update ACCTVALSETID to Account Value Set Identifier, right? What am I missing?

WFP's vision is to make Rwanda a food secure country where people are well nourished, able to develop to their full potential, living in resilient communities and sustainably maintained by effective institutions at all levels. This will be realized through enhancing national capacity to develop, design and manage nationally owned hunger solutions. WFP also plans to model innovations in food assistance programming, as well as to continue its humanitarian support to populations affected by crises.
Rwanda is susceptible to a wide range of disaster threats, including floods, droughts, strong storms and volcanic eruptions. In the past two decades, some 2 million people have been affected by these and other climate-induced hazards—hazards that will only increase as the effects of climate change grow both in frequency and scale. According to the Notre Dame Global Adaptation (ND-GAIN) Index, Rwanda is the world's thirteenth most vulnerable country to climate change.
Families whose houses were destroyed by heavy rain with storm in Ngoma District have expressed strong gratitude to the government for the first aid assistance they received.
At least 82 families from Sake and Jarama Sectors in Ngoma District were left homeless after heavy rain destroyed their houses and home assets in the night of February 23th, 2015. That heavy rain also damaged crops especially banana plantations while other people were injured.

The US Ambassador to Rwanda, Erica Barks-Ruggles, has pledged her government's support to ensure peace returns to eastern DR Congo so that refugees can return home.
Amb. Barks-Ruggles made the pledge to thousands of Congolese refugees as she visited them in Gihembe Refugee Camp located in Gicumbi District on Tuesday February 17, 2015.
"We will work closely with partners such as the ICGLR [International Conference on the Great Lakes Region] and others to see how peace can be restored in the DR Congo so that you can repatriate." Said Ambassador Barks Ruggles.

WASHINGTON, January 22, 2015 – The World Bank Group's (WBG) Board of Executive Directors today approved a US$70million International Development Association (IDA) credit to support the Government of Rwanda (GoR) improve the efficiency, coverage and harmonization of its social protection system.
Rwanda was held up Saturday as a beacon for gender equality as the business and political elite at the Davos forum underlined the importance of achieving parity in ending poverty.
The central African country, which two decades ago was struggling to recover from genocide that claimed 800,000 lives, became the first country in 2008 to have a parliament dominated by women.
Today, female lawmakers make up 64 percent of parliament, outperforming the world average of one in five.
WASHINGTON, 22 janvier 2015 – Le Conseil des administrateurs du Groupe de la Banque mondiale a approuvé aujourd'hui un crédit de l'Association internationale de développement (IDA) d'un montant de 70 millions de dollars destiné à aider le gouvernement rwandais à améliorer l'efficacité, la couverture et l'harmonie de son système de protection sociale.
Rwanda - Dans le cadre du Programme commun de retour et de réintégration durables des Nations Unies et du Ministère chargé de la gestion des catastrophes et des affaires des réfugiés (MIDIMAR) financé par la Suède, l'OIM a intensifié ses efforts visant à accroître la réintégration durable des Rwandais de retour des pays voisins, notamment de République démocratique du Congo, de Tanzanie et du Burundi.
On Friday January 16, 2015, over 100 people from both government and various humanitarian organizations completed a three-day simulation exercise on mass refugees' influx.
The exercise named "Twitegurire hamwe" that took place in Musanze District was organized jointly by the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugees Affairs (Midimar), Rwanda National Police (RNP) and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
Rwandans who were expelled from Tanzania and settled in Bugesera District on Thursday January 15, 2015 received assorted food items worth Rwf27 million.
The food was donated by Direct Aid Project Rwanda, formerly known as African Muslims Agency, in collaboration with the district's Joint Action Development Forum (JADF).
Every family received 50kgs of rice, 15 kilogrammes of sugar, 40 kilogrammes of beans, 50 kilogrammes of maize flour, 20 litres of cooking oil and one box of bars of soap.
Under the Swedish-funded One UN / Ministry for Disaster Management and Refugee Affairs (MIDIMAR) Joint Sustainable Return and Reintegration programme, IOM has stepped up efforts to boost the sustainable reintegration of Rwandan returnees from neighbouring countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania and Burundi.
The organization last week (13-16/1) trained some 84 trainers who will soon train some 770 selected returnees and vulnerable members of returnee host communities in Rwanda in income generating activities.
Climate change and extreme weather are already taking a toll on Rwanda. The country suffers floods and landslides, and variable rainfall affects farming, causing soil erosion and droughts. Scientists predict future climate change that could make these problems worse. How should decision-makers respond? A new policy brief from the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme and CDKN explores some options.
WFP is currently assisting 73,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in five refugee camps in Rwanda. There were two major arrivals. The majority fled from conflict in the eastern DRC in 1995-1996. A further 30,000 escaped from increasing insecurity during 2012 and 2013.
Green harvests improve household food security country-wide
Key Messages
Beans are the most common staple commodities across all regions in Rwanda.
Maize, cassava, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and bananas are also very important. Beans and Maize are cultivated generally in all districts of the Country, Irish potato mainly in Northern and Western parts of the Country and Banana in Eastern parts. Staple food prices are usually lower in JanuaryFebruary, after season A, and in July-August, following the season B harvest.
Prices are higher in October-November and May-June during the lean periods.

Indian equities are likely to continue its bullish run this year on the back of improved corporate earnings, according to a Assocham report.
India, Thailand are suffering the worst EPS cuts in EM Asia, JPMorgan said. Any potential dislocation in global markets could hurt India, it added.
Markets coming out of a currency bottom outperform the broader regional index over the following 3 to 6 months.
To promote investment climate, Jaitley today said Indian bond markets would be deepened to bring it at par with the equity markets.
These guidelines with regard to investment funds will apply on Non-Government Provident Funds, Superannuation Funds and Gratuity Funds.
From Apr onwards, India's period of power, markets, investments, foreign trade will start. The period from Apr to Sep can be defined in one word, that is, money.
A falling economic growth scenario does not really auger well for China and FIIs may actually shift some part of their investment to a more stable country.
India's forex reserves pile, though sufficient for nine months of imports, may not be enough to support the currency and meet liabilities.

Orienting high tunnels (and other questions)
I was reading ajsmama's post with some interest and thought I'd post a question of my own as I too want to set up high tunnels.
Our strongest winds are from the NW and SE, with peak gusts in the spring up to 60 mph. For this reason, I'd like to orient them NE-SW, so the wind strikes them on the sides. Would this work for sun exposure? I'm going to have them in a very open field.
Because the site is surrounded by hay, I'm going to ring the site with gravel to create a buffer zone. Is this a good idea?
The plan is to have four HTs and eventually lay down gravel between the HTs as well. Good or bad idea?
what will the gravel do for you? unless you put a weed barrier under the gravel the vegetation will grow through it. i use a weed wacker to trim around the tunnels.
my tunnels (4) run east/west. i did this to maximize sunlight and minimize shadowing. i'm sure other orientations would work too. it gets very windy here too and rather than orient the tunnel based on wind direction i used concrete and anchors to hold down the tunnels.
At your latitude, you should orientate your tunnel East and west to maximize your solar gain during daylight hours.
About your gravel, I would skip it. Gravel never stays were you want it. After a few years, or less, you will have gravel in your beds, in the grass around it. Also, thinking long term, if you tear these tunnels out and don't use them then you will have this gravel in the way.
I would instead put a high quality fabric weed barrier around it and run it under the baseboard.
Professional greenhouses use gravel around there, but they don't plant in the ground of their greenhouses, they use gravel inside also. Plus the gravel will allow you to walk even when it's been very rainy. Gravel does incorporate itself, so you need to put some landscape fabric down first. Gravel is usually lighter color than the landscape fabric, keeping that ground a bit cooler, than just the fabric.
If you are using the fabric, be sure to use the 25 year fabric or the heaviest available. The cheap stuff that you buy easily, will not last.
my east west oriented greenhouse gets hotter quicker than the n-s oriented ones. That is good for spring. But if you're growing in summer, not so good. I move most of my container plants to the n-s ones after spring rush to grow all season.
I will tell you, I hope you don't have the problem I'm having with my greenhouse right next to the hay field. Grasshoppers! they are terrible and eating everything. Even inside the greenhouse. We have a lot more praying mantis now, but they aren't keeping up. I'm getting ready to screen the sides of my greenhouse so they won't get in when they're rolled up.
We were very nervous about strong winds. I read that the important thing is to make sure the tunnel is closed up. Due to worry about snow and ice, my husband chose a typical cape cod style roof/wood frame construction. The snow usually slides off, even on the north side but it is also brushed off. You don't want wind to get inside that might lift the structure. We had a 10' long portable low tunnel covered in Agribon fabric blow across the field and over a stone wall.
We have only been thru one winter. I noticed that I have earthworms in the beds on the north side but none in the beds on the south side. Temps got over 100 F even with the sides rolled up. One have a double door on one side (west) that is left open during the summer.

Now, all permit holders are allowed to carry in bars(unless prohibited by owner). I am not sure why this law passed. I mean, i love any gun law that passes in my favor but whats the point? Its illegal to drink while carrying, and who goes to the bar and dont drink? Maybe if i was with a group of people and i was the DD then hell yea im packing, other than that its useless to me. I guess there are more people who go to bars and dont drink that i was aware of.

Ok, its not just bars but anywhere that serves alcohol. If i go out to eat with the family, i typically dnt drink so that would work great, but just a bar or club, i dont quite get it.
I excersized my new priviledge yesterday at the local tgi fridays! I dont really go to the bar or drink much anyway but i must say the restaurant that serves alcohol part is pretty nice. I never really understood why they wrote the law excluding them in the first place
I think it is more for the Friday's or Applebee's type places. But, I could see carrying into a true "bar" if I was DD. I figure that there are probably a few others carrying illegally, so I will cover my "ass"ets.
Another thing to consider, specially with those 30 or older. If one has been going to bars all their adult life and not been getting in trouble, having a all of a sudden won't make them start. I doubt you could have gotten in many bar fights and still got a license.

The photo below from the Library of Congress photo collection shows Rhoda Glover, oldest Long Island suffragist riding in a horse-drawn wagon during a local parade. Grandmother Edna referred to Glover in one of her many columns about the Long Island suffrage campaign –in particular because suffragist Glover lived in Rockville Centre, New York (Nassau County) and was active in the suffrage club there.
