NuTech Seed is constantly searching for seed products and treatments that bring maximum value and convenience to our customers. That's why every bag of NuTech Seed for the 2017 planting season will come with Poncho®/VOTiVO seed treatment. Poncho/VOTiVO seed treatment helps ensure that your corn seed is protected from the moment it is planted through the critical stages of early season development.
Corn hybrids from NuTech Seed treated with Poncho/VOTiVO® seed treatment contain twice the rate of Seed Applied Insecticide as most seed corn brands. This higher rate provides increased control of wireworm, black cutworm, white grub, and other early season pests. Poncho/VOTiVO also provides a new biological mode of action that introduces a revolutionary way to protect corn seedlings and roots against nematodes. VOTiVO contains a unique strain of bacteria that lives and grows with young corn roots, creating a living barrier that nematodes can't penetrate. The bacteria colonize and grow around the root creating a living barrier of protection.
Nematode damage is becoming more widespread across the Midwest due to reduced usage of carbamate and organophosphate insecticides, increases in reduced tillage, and more continuous cropping. Poncho/VOTiVO protects corn roots from root-lesion, dagger, spiral, needle, stubby-root, stunt, Columbia-lance, sting, and rootknot nematodes.
Seed treatment is one of the most exciting, dynamic, and rapidly changing technology areas in the seed industry today. That is why we are happy to offer NuTech Seed's unique SmartCote® brand of seed treatment for our corn portfolio. SmartCote® Corn is a seed treatment blend of the best seed treatment components available in the industry. Not only does the SmartCote brand signify the best fungicidal protection available in the industry, but it also means low rate Seed- Applied Insecticide on every bag of NuTech Seed corn. NuTech Seed continues to evaluate new and innovative seed treatment components each year and reserves the right to offer the very best seed treatment available to our customers. For more information on exact SmartCote components, talk to your local NuTech Seed District Sales Manager or dealer.

Sony Cell is operating with operators to add VoLTE (voice over LTE) support for the Android Nougat Concept firmware for the Xperia X. The advantage of VoLTE is that calls must attach quicker and feature higher sound high quality too, there's no want to transfer to a 2G/3G frequency to make a decision.
Then again, it's slightly tricky to put in force the generation because it calls for each telephone and community support. Which means Sony will want to add support on an operator through operator foundation. The following Concept replace will come with VoLTE support for three of the biggest German cellular carriers together with Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefonica/02.
Sony will then glance to add UK and Spain after this. You'll be to pay attention, that the three biggest markets for the Concept unencumber is Germany, UK and Scandinavia. That is in all probability the rationale to focal point at the German and UK markets for VoLTE first. We can stay you up to date as soon as the brand new VoLTE firmware begins to roll.

The discovery that central nervous system (CNS)–targeted autoreactive T cells required a process of licensing in the lung revealed an unexpected relationship between these organs. The clinical and immunological significance of this finding is bidirectional in that it showed not only a mechanism by which T cells become pathogenic before entering the CNS, but also the potential for this process to influence lung immunity as well. Epidemiological studies have shown that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) suffer from increased morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases, independent of immunosuppressive therapies. Respiratory infections account for a large percentage of deaths of people with MS. In this study, to investigate the mechanisms responsible for this enhanced susceptibility, we established a comorbid model system in which mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) were administered a sublethal dose of influenza. Whereas mice with either EAE alone or influenza alone survived, 70% of comorbid mice died as a result of uncontrolled viral replication. Immunological analyses revealed that the induction of EAE led to a surprising alteration of the lung milieu, converting an effective stimulatory influenza-reactive environment into a suppressive one. These results provide mechanistic information that may help to explain the unexpected immunological interactions.

Greece Manages T-Bill Sale Amid Restructuring Chatter
Greece sold EUR1.625 billion of 26-week Treasury bills Tuesday at only moderately higher yield than a month ago, despite the market's prevailing speculation that the country will need to restructure its debt.
Greece sold the T-bills, including a 30% non-competitive tranche above the EUR1.25 billion offer size, at a uniform yield of 4.88%, compared with 4.80% at the previous tender April 12.
"After the recent raft of horrible news…it should already be viewed as a success for the Greek Public Debt Management Agency to be able to offload the paper below the 5%-threshold," said David Schnautz, a strategist at Commerzbank in London, referring to Monday's rating downgrade.
The issuance came at an awkward time for the Greek PDMA, as it was timed one day after ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded long-term Greek debt to B and its short-term debt to C ratings.
Moody's Investors Service, meanwhile, placed Greece's B1 local and foreign currency government bond ratings on review for possible downgrade, also in a move Monday, and said a multi-notch downgrade is possible if it concludes there is large risk that Greece's debt metrics are on an unsustainable path.
A higher auction yield than previously was expected but a majority of market watchers said it won't be sharply higher than previously, although some analysts said a yield close to 6% won't surprise either.
"Most T-bill investors haven't been put off by the recent restructuring rumors weighing on longer-dated securities," said a senior trader at a Greek bank.
Analysts said the maturity of the T-bills, which expire in November, was key to them receiving a good reception as it is still this year which is covered by the current bailout package.

Fracking: An Environmental Disaster
by KateLoving
Jerry Lee Miller was on my radio show this week. We discussed his anti-fracking activism. Fracking is discussed in the following article.
God, Please Save Our Farms
Once Again, Our Government is Not Protecting Us
Fracking is a practice and method of drilling into reservoir rock formations in order to increase the extraction and recovery rates of oil and natural gas. This may sound benign, but it is not.
For instance, on April 20th, 2011, on the anniversary of the Gulf Oil Spill, thousands of gallons of so called fracking fluid spilled following an accident at a natural gas well in Wellsboro, PA. Seven families were evacuated from the area.
Many people in PA have contaminated wells due to this method of extracting oil and gas, and when a match is lit next to the water, it catches fire, much like gasoline would.
"The chemicals used in fracking fluids have been a contentious subject, as many energy companies have long guarded them as a "trade secret." A recent report released by three House Democrats says that millions of gallons of potentially hazardous chemicals and known carcinogens, such as methanol, have been injected into wells across the country by energy companies using the controversial fracking method." The Huffington Post, 4/20/2011
The picture of the sign accompanying this article was written by a farmer whose farm was ruined by fracking, a farm that had been in the family for several generations. The sign was placed in the middle of the town nearest to his farm, and the towns people signed their name at the bottom of the sign to show their solidarity. A plea and a prayer such as this will surely be answered, as all prayers are.
This past Tuesday, my guest on "Kate Loving And The Collective Wisdom" was Jerry Lee Miller, a local anti-fracking activist in the state of Pennsylvania. We discussed the horrors of fracking in great detail.
Jerry and I also discussed creating a lifestyle that honors the earth. Jerry educated us about "Transition Communities" whereby people grow organic farms and create green communities together. This way of helping one another is growing in popularity.
Jerry played the Native American Flute as well as singing an original song about the beautiful Susquehanna River which is the recipient of fracking pollution. Jerry told us that the Susquehanna is one of the top three endangered rivers in the world. The Susquahanna flows into the Chesapeake Bay. Surely the Chesapeake Bay Pollution Alert Groups in Maryland will rise up against these fracking practices here in PA. In fact, since PA's denial appears to be unshaken here, I am hoping The Chesapeake Bay Activists help end these practices that are threatening PA's pristine water supplies.
Here is a link to the radio show that broadcast on 6/28/2011. Jerry Lee Miller is a retired Brethren Minister, and is a Lancaster County Native. He is an accomplished musician, as you can hear from his performance on Tuesday's show.
May the show serve to get the word out about fracking.
Gasland, The Trailer
Gasland Director On Keith Olbermann's
Have you ever hear about Fracking?
The Frackers have approched the family farms around the area where I grew up. How this practice became a logical replacement for simple drilling goes beyond comprehension. Poisoning the planet is not the answer.
Yes I have heard about fracking on a radio news report and also a TV item on it. The news report was about earth tremors (thought to be) caused by fracking for shale gas near Blackpool in England. When you see what the process involves it is not surprising that it causes concern.
I've never heard of this before, so thank you for drawing attention to it. It's incredible that this practice takes place while here in the UK we are not even allowed to purchase incandescent lightbulbs any more. Why do we make all this effort when large corporations can do whatever they like and negate everything the ordinary person does to help clean up the planet?
Very disturbing, Kate. I have heard similar reports about extracting in the oil sands in Alberta. If we use the resulting oil, we bear some of the responsibility. (And who of us can get away from using petroleum products 100%?)
We each need to make life-giving decisions in our own every day worlds. I'm not too sure how to stop the big guys. Even things like civil disobedience doesn't do very much for very long. I guess we need some real alternatives and we can't wait for big money to produce them for us. We each need to make changes.
this is terrible and I agree with Grace (well, I usually do :) but still) it is a matter of greed and the result will be "all will be punished" I fear, if something isnt done in our time
Thank you for publicizing this incredibly dangerous phenomenon, fracking. I continually wonder what people like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and the people paying them think will become of the world in twenty, thirty, forty and fifty years as a direct result of their carelessness and greed. Are they so incredibly selfish that they literally care nothing for the world they are leaving their own children and grandchildren?
Each of us must continually ask--as we decide what to buy, what lights to leave on in our homes, or any of the minute decisions we make every single day--we must ask: How am I contributing to the wealth of the men who make these horrific decisions? Does this tiny step give them the green light to endanger more lives and to destroy the future for my children and grandchildren? What can I do in this moment to choose another path for me and for my loved ones?
Yes, I know about fracking -- it's extremely disturbing. Corporations only care about profits. Meanwhile, everyday people and the environment suffer the consequences of fracking. Fracking, mountain top removal, off shore drilling: we are surely the most invasive of all species.
Yes we are thinking of moving to Vermont. Sorry to hear about your daughter's farm. We are headed for a crisis here in this country. And the world.
Our daughter's organic farm is ruined because of the gas drilling and fracking in Northeastern PA. The current governor gets plenty of campaign money from the drilling investors so there's no chance of stopping it for the next 4 years. Leave PA and take your tax dollars to a state that cares.
Extremely destructive practice . . . I don't think most people even know about.

Good luck!
some of these may work..i have one still waiting for review.
Thank you for the suggestions, everyone! I really appreciate it. The Quiz Millionaire Pack had exactly what I was looking for. And Art-Of-Sound, while I want to agree with you, I just can't. Sure, AudioJungle prices are low compared to most other royalty free sites. But, it allows more people to have access to a bounty of music that spurs creativity worldwide. More people buying music= quality music producers have the opportunity to reach a broader audience. I, for one, am not a huge studio with endless budget. I know this site helped my incredibly while in film school. My student projects got a professional soundtrack for a price I could afford. I wasn't making money on my projects, so I couldn't spend $200 on a music piece. But I could show my project to 40 people in my class who could use a $20 music piece in their projects, and the producer gets those sales and makes more than he would selling for $200. Different markets, different mindsets I guess.

Type 2 Diabetes Guidelines Changes Lead to Concerns
According to a recent study conducted by the University of Michigan, new guidelines released by the American Diabetes Association for screening patients may result in missed diagnoses of Type 2 Diabetes in children. The concern is particularly strong as cases of Type 2 Diabetes continue to rise in alarming rates—particularly among young children; in addition, early intervention and treatment of the disease has demonstrated benefits to patients who may be able to partially reverse their condition over the course of a lifetime. If the disease is not caught early, secondary health issues, such as nerve damage, vision loss, and heart disease can easily occur.
Diabetes Guidelines are Already Steeped in Controversy
The research, which was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that both pediatric and family medicine providers are using screening tests which may resulted in missed diagnoses of Type 2 Diabetes in children, according to lead author Joyce Lee, M.D., M.P.H., and associate professor at U-M's Departments of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases and Environmental Health Sciences. Patients who develop Type 2 Diabetes require strict glucose monitoring using blood-glucose meters such as the Prodigy auto code, and many of them require medication in addition to changes to lifestyle and diet. In 2010, the ADA recommended that physicians use the Hemoglobin A1c screening test, rather than glucose tests, for identifying children and adults with pre-diabetes and diabetes. The change was controversial due to lower performance of the HbA1C test in children compared to adults.
While the controversy persists, the study found that when presented with the ADA guidelines, 84% of physicians stated that they would switch from using glucose tests to HbA1c tests; Lee says of the finding, "This potential for increased uptake of HbA1c could lead to missed cases of prediabetes and diabetes in children, and increased costs." According to Lee and many other critics of the ADA guidelines, several studies have shown that not only is the A1c test less effective for pediatric patients in comparison to adults, but also that the test is less cost-effective than other screening tests, which leads to higher overall costs for screening. At a time when Type 2 Diabetes is rapidly becoming the most important public health initiative worldwide—with doctors all over the globe concerned about the growing increase in rates of incidence—the possibility of missing cases is a very large concern in the medical community. Researchers theorize that many with Type 2 Diabetes are unaware that they have the condition until relatively routine blood work shows the disease has developed; the early symptoms of Diabetes are relatively easy for people to miss in themselves.
Why are Diabetes Doctors Concerned?
Dr. Lee, among other medical professionals and researchers, is primarily concerned with the fact that the possibility of decreased detection can lead to poorer long-term outcomes. For those with a family history of diabetes, it is definitely important to be educated on the issue, and to ensure that you are asking questions—both for yourself and your children. Type 2 Diabetes treatment can seem daunting, particularly with the need for tools such as the Prodigy auto code meter, which requires multiple blood samples per day; however, treatment for the lifelong disease is vital for health and wellness. Diabetes treatment helps many people live longer lives.

Diary of a black eagle researcher
I want to share the experience and feeling of a couple of extraordinary days 'working' in the Cederberg.
At 7.45h in the morning I leave my car to visit a nest and walk on to a hut where I have planned to spend the night. Around 9.00h I arrive at the nest to do observations. Due to the sun rising above the nest cliff, I'm forced to search for a new observation spot where the sun doesn't blind me. After approximately 6 hours of observing I take off in the direction of the hut. I realize that it will be dark around 18.15h and I am not sure how long the walk to the hut will be. From the observation spot I go off trail to take the shortest route to the hut. This means that I have to go up pretty steep, climbing rocks and struggling through bushes. From my map I can't define what the inclination is, my heart rate, on the other hand, does show a steady increase. With a backpack of approximately 10 kg on my back I realize that the climb is pretty tiring. Not every boulder I climb on it is clearly visible how to get on, but that's what hiking uphill off trail in the Cederberg is all about. Halfway up the slope I want to pull myself up a rock. I place my hand and pull to see if I it is steady enough. A disc of rock slides down and a big black scorpion appears. It was hidden under the disc. I remember this species from earlier hikes but this one is three times as big as the last one I saw. I assume that it rather sees me taking another route. At 17:30h I arrive at the hut. A stream close by is a fresh water supply. With the most beautiful sunset in the background I have had so far, I warm up my food and settle in the hut. I go to bed early realizing that tomorrow will be a long day full of hiking and two nest visits scheduled.
I have a decent breakfast because I don't like pausing during hiking. At 8.30h I leave my sleeping place, off to the first nest. Luckily a trail leads me to the first nest and on my way I find a new nest. Even Megan has never seen this one. Unfortunately, I don't see any signs of activity on or around the nest. I move on to the nest that I was heading for. At this spot
I am lucky to spot the eagles within 10 minutes. Unfortunately, not on the nest. After watching them for a while I lose them. One of them was on the nest for a minute but didn't seem to incubate anything. It did not come back to the nest so I assume they are not incubating. I head on to the next site. The first 15 minutes is back on the same trail, the other hour and a half are in, for me, an unknown part of the Cederberg. If I would follow the path to the nest it would take me more than a day to reach the nest. The first part off trail has a nice inclination. It is next to a small stream which supplies me with fresh water. At the source of the stream it flattens out, but with huge boulders. I assume that not many people have been up here. It is rough up here and there are ginormous boulders to climb on. At 15.00h I arrive at my observation spot. Now I am facing the nest cliff from a better angle (higher up). Unfortunately no breeding activity but two black eagles flying around the nest cliff. Meaning that the territory is still occupied. At 16:30h I finish my chocolate and my observations and leave the eagles perched.
I realize that I have one hour and 45 minutes before it gets dark. Hopefully, I am back on track by then because I had not planned to spend another night out. After walking for a while on a plain on top of a mountain, I start feeling my backpack. I orientate on the mountains to see what my options are to get back down. The sun sets at 17.45h and I realize I don't have much time before it gets dark. I think it will be tough to get back today. I think by myself: "I will keep walking, I don't want to spend another night out."
I go up one side hoping that I can get down on the other side. When I am on top it is dark. Luckily the rocks I walk on are mostly white. When I arrive on the other side of the mountain at 18:45h it is dark and I can see 50 meters straight down. That was not what I had hoped to see. In this darkness I have no clue how to get to the path now and I don't want to climb back up in the dark. I search for a sleeping spot without being picky and take the first spot with a small overhang. Although it is on hard rock and close the edge, it will be fine for one night. I hope I don't move in my sleep, however on this rock I will probably wake up when I start moving. I send out a message that I am out for another night to the people who may expect me back on Driehoek. On 19.15h I get in my sleeping bag realizing that it will take twelve hours before the sun rises. That is long if you are lying on rock as hard as concrete. I can't find the good position, which I probably won't find. Although I am constantly curious how close I am to sunrise during the night, I only check my phone twice for the time. Once at 1.30h in the morning, just halfway through the night, and the other time at 6.30 in the morning. In the morning light I can see how far down it goes. Far! But I do see the path I was looking for. That is a good sign although this route is no option without climbing equipment. At 7.30 I leave my sleeping place and go on to another place where I, hopefully, can go down. Again I am unlucky. I go back up and feel trapped on top. I check the map and find another spot to go down to the path I am aiming for. My next option is suitable for going down. At 9.20h I reach the path which leads me back to my car. At 11.00h I am home sweet home. I lost some energy but I gained some knowledge about myself, the eagles and the Cederberg.

The Love for the Eagles
Wow. I get excited every time I see one. Even more when I see two. Whether it's with the naked eye, through the binoculars or through the telescope. All sightings are amazing. Their movements in the air express full control. When they display behaviour to defend or define their territory they make steep dives and climb again to make a looping to go back for a dive. Undulating or pendulum flight is what this behaviour is called.
Last time, I was lucky to see the eagles soar in front of and above the moving moon (see picture). To see that the Eagles have a larger wingspan than the diameter of the moon was amazing. This was a moment where I thought: "Although I don't have the best camera to get this on a photo, this picture will be on burned on my retina for the rest of my life". Well, you can have worse things burned on your retina. They seem to chill on the thermals and soar a bit through their territory. Why not? If I could soar I would be soaring all day. The more time I spend here in the mountains, the more I think I was born in the wrong country (without mountains) and born in the wrong nest (without wings). Probably my ancestors took the wrong turn tens or even hundreds of million years ago. You would have amazing eyesight and probably see cape leopards weekly. And the views from high up in the air. Wow that must be amazing. When you're not on your nest, incubating or caring for your chick, you're searching for Dassies in the Cederberg or Molerats, Helmeted guineafowl and Angulate tortoises in the Sandveld. I would rather live in the Cederberg, because there are more mountains and less annoying pied crows. I've seen some chases between pied crows and the eagles. Sometimes the eagles were being chased and sometimes the eagles chased the crows.
Although they fly as if they´re in full control, their walking appears to be clumsy. They walk like criminals. With their head a bit down as if they are hiding something.
Dreams and more
I have even had my first dream about eagles. It took me approximately two weeks of observations. It was a nice dream where I had 3 eagles in view, but I wasn´t sure if the third was a juvenile or another species. I was warned that I would get hooked to the eagles, but I am not afraid of getting hooked. I am an easy victim, because I think I am pretty close to that state. Keeping in mind that I haven´t even seen a chick yet and I not even half way through my fieldwork. During my fieldwork I find myself sexing the eagles when I see one. When one is on the nest I think: "She's on the nest". And when I see one flying I think: "He's flying". This is unintentional and I don't know how to get rid of this thought. But as long as I don't write it in my notebook it doesn't do any harm.
Next blog will be about how an eagle observer spends his Sundays in the Cederberg.

My first few weeks going solo!
Here I am, sitting behind my desk. Locked in my 15m
hut with the rain pouring down on my roof and the wind desperately trying to get in. I can hear it knocking but I am not answering. With only Jack Johnson singing his songs. Can´t you see that it´s just raining, ain´t no need to go outside. After two and a half weeks of solo trips I have felt snow, rain, clouds and have seen a lot of rainbows, sun and, of course, Black eagles. And lots of mountains with beautiful views and impressive rock formations, formed by wind, water and frost.
In my days in the Spanish Pyrenees I read somewhere. Happiness is only real when shared. Well, that doesn't count for me. "My" eagles give me so many air shows and joyful moments (more on this later). And the views here!!.. From certain spots you can see for many miles (hard to estimate how far). These views give me goose bumps. I realize what I miss in the Netherlands. And not to forget the rainbows. Every time I try to approach them to look for the pot of gold they " jump" to the next mountain. But one day. I love it!!
During my last 3 weeks of fieldwork, not to forget that I am actually working here, I have visited 16 nests in 7 days in the Sandveld. In this area, I drive from one nest to the other to check their stage of breeding. At this stage I hope to find them incubating. Some of them have started and others look promising and spend a lot of time around or on the nest. The pairs that are incubating spend much time on the nest and regularly swap. In the Cederberg, on the other hand, I have to hike for hours to the nests where access is much more difficult. Here they have nests in more remote places and I spend a lot of time hiking to a good spot to set up my telescope and start my observations. Here I have visited 12 nests so far. Like the Sandveld, here the first pairs have initiated incubation. During my hikes I am thrilled by the views and rock surrounding me. I force myself to stop every now and then to "feel" the mountains, or to admire the baboons which let me know of their presence by their impressive barking. They don't seem to be impressed by my barks. Luckily I have 5 months to impress them. Or klipspringers which are checking me out from a rock and react to my whistles by facing me directly. Most of the times they are in groups of three. After a while they move on and hop up the rocks with the greatest ease. Also the sightings of Rock Hyrax or Dassies become more common. Sunbathing on rocks they make their alarm calls. I think there are not many animals living in the Cederberg which I see before they see me.
But the Cederberg Mountains bring me strong winds, snow and low temperatures as well. And the winter hasn't even started yet. I am curious what the real winter has to offer. I have learned that bad weather doesn't exist. But bad clothing does. Thus a good preparation for a cold day is important because three hours of not moving with the wind in the face with a vibrating telescope is tiring. A cloud that comes by and blocks my view on the nest is most frustrating and leaves me cold. And the rain filling the rivers which influence my thoughts of whether my bakkie can get through. But the advice I got from Dawie was. "You just try and learn by experience when the waterlevel is too high. This means that I just give it a go until I get stuck. Why not? We'll see where or when the ship beaches. So far I haven't had any problems.
Yesterday I had my first sightings of humans in the field. The first pair consisted of two males and the other a male and female. Both pairs didn't show any signs of incubation. And both were far outside of their territory, but I did not feel threatened. After my two weeks in the Cederberg I have taken a look at my data on primate abundance. My preliminary results suggest that the most abundant primate is the Chacma Baboon (
Papio ursinus
) followed by humans (
Homo sapiens
). I have to be cautious because I don't have any statistical results to support these thoughts. First I have to collect more data to confirm my suggestions (More on this later) .
And the Eagles. The Verreaux's Eagle or Black Eagle. With their ginormous wingspan of 2 meters. A flying door. Bigger than my wingspan. The one moment they are checking out part of their territory from a perch or their nest. The next they are in a thermal with warm rising air to gain height without spending energy. The ease with which they glide through the air. Jealous? Yes! And they probably see better than me even without a telescope. Magical. I want to know how their eyes work. I feel fortunate to spend my time watching these powerful raptors in this wonderful place.

Eye to eye with a Cape Leopard
Two weeks ago Steven Bekker arrived in South Africa to join me with field work for the Black Eagle Project and to work towards his own MSc. All the way from the very flat Netherlands, I am sure he has had many new experiences, but somewhere amongst the eagles and the mountains, this was a real welcome to the special secrets of the Cederberg. In his own words, here's Stevens first blog "
Eye to eye with a Cape Leopard
Steven at work!
On a cold Tuesday evening at Driehoek, I am sitting with Dawie, Lizette, Karli and Megan in their living room on Driehoek. We're watching TV after a lovely night out at Oasis for their legendary ribs. Around half past nine Megan and Lizette go to bed and Dawie and I stay to watch National Geographic. In the next break I feel sleepy and tell Dawie that I am going to bed. The previous nights I went to my hut without light and I had only the light of the moon to guide me home. From their house it is easy to find my way to the corner of the garden and reach the gate, but after the gate the dark path to the campsite through dense undergrowth and trees is hard to find. But every night I managed to find my way home. Tonight Dawie offers me a flashlight. I gratefully accept the offer to have some light on my way home. I leave the house and disappear into the night. On my way to the gate only about five meters from the house I stop. Two eyes light up in the light of my flashlight. I wait and see that there is something lying on the ground approximately 15 meters from me. It gets up and turns to walk off calmly through the gate and walks part of my path through the woods. I realize that I've just seen something special but I don't quite know on what level. I turn around and walk back to the house. I get in and ask Dawie: How can I tell the difference between a Caracal and a Cape Leopard because I just saw a cat. Dawie jumps up and walks with me to the place where I saw it and we follow the path that the for me unfamiliar feline has followed. At that moment I think we are not going to find it. Dawie asks what the size was. I show him the height of the animal and he replies: "That's a leopard!". Together we walk down the path and walk around the piece of forest to arrive at the other side on a more open space. Dawie sees on the other side of a small river approximately 50 meters away two eyes light up.
He whispers: "it's an owl". But he is in doubt and we wait. The eyes move and when Dawie imitates the sound of an orphaned lamb, the "owl" starts moving. "It's not an owl. It's a leopard" whispers Dawie and he attracts/lures the leopard towards us with his lamb cry. After a while the leopard seats itself on a rock less than 30 meters away from us. He seems chilled and Dawie says: "I will fetch my camera". Thrilled from the adrenalin I stay behind with the light from the flashlight with a leopard, for me, a very short distance away. When Dawie is gone I hear something in the bushes next to me. It's nothing. The leopard starts moving again. This time away from us and disappears into the night. My lamb imitation is unfortunately not as good as Dawie's. When Dawie returns I point him where I saw the leopard for the last time. We walk around some bushes to get another angle onto the place where I have seen him for the last time. When Dawie starts imitating the lamb again, after a while we see a pair of eyes again. "There he is!" we whisper enthusiastically. And we walk back to the first spot to get a better view. He reacts strongly on the luring sounds and comes closer. Dawie takes pictures but because of the limited available light it is very hard to get a good picture.
When he is on the edge of the river and seems to make a jump towards our side. He doesn't, but instead he walks off on a path towards a fallen tree to cross the river. At that moment Megan joins us after searching for us in the dark when Dawie told her that I had seen my first leopard. The leopard has crossed the river and is now less than 20 meters away from us in the bushes. There we are waiting for a leopard to come out of the bushes. I realize that I have no clue what Dawie's plans are when he appears from the bushes, but he keeps imitating the lamb. I am holding the flashlight and on the moment of truth the light is gone. It does not fade it goes dead in less than a second. Total darkness. I think we lost our advantage. Dawie whispers: "Back off, slowly.". After a while Megan can make a little bit of light with her camera. We walk back to the house to charge the light and get other lights. We take a breath from our adventure and I think it's over. We won't find it again. With smaller lights we're off to search for it again. After searching in a couple of places, Dawie climbs a rock to get a better view and with his light he searches for the two eyes. He whispers and points: "There it is again.". He is back on the other side of the river. We go to the other side of the river to search for it and cross the river in the dark via another tree. Dawie is in no time on the other side of the river. For me it's harder to get to the other side and Megan behind me is also relieved when she reaches the other side dry. From there we slide onto a path and climb a couple of boulders. On approximately 30 meters the leopard sits calmly on a rock. As soon as he notices us he slides off the rock and hides behind one. Megan tries to make pictures and although there is almost no light Dawie still knows where he is.
It is hard to follow its movements. When Dawie makes calls again it creeps towards us. He whispers: "it is curious of what we are.". Only somewhat like 20 meters away it stops and watches us.
After approximately 10 minutes it turns and walks away. He does turn its head when Dawie makes his calls but the leopard walks off gently. Dawie steps of the rock and continues onto the path to find him again on the other side. Megan and I follow. We stop on approximately 30 meters off where we've seen it for the last time and Dawie starts making its calls. We have no clue where the leopard is and Dawie wants to attract it. It could be hidden right behind a rock less than five meters away from us but Dawie wants to lure him towards us. Megan and I whisper that it's perhaps not the best idea to attract him when we have no idea where it is. Dawie: "Yes, lets get back" and we walk back to the house. Back in the house we take the time to take a breath. Dawie gets his rifle to deter the leopard from the livestock with a loud warning into the night sky. Their Anatolian Sheep dog recently passed away, who would usually protect the livestock, and now there are lambs on the farm. Therefore, a loud bang was needed to send him back into the veld. Because I spotted the leopard I get the honour of shooting the rifle. This way my first shot ever!! After talking for a while I go back to my hut on the same path through the trees. I walk on this path with a different feeling. In bed I relived the overwhelming experience of what I've seen tonight. My first Cape Leopard. Not bad for my first week in the Cederberg Mountains!!

Ok, now I've written the code to display patterns from RAM, but I haven't written the code to actually update those patterns. So I'm not sure exactly where this pattern is coming from. But it's slightly more interesting looking now:
Still the same problem with the 'off' leds lighting up slightly, but I think it's not too bad for now. Next up, I think I'll animate a simple 1-pixel 'ball' bouncing around or something.

Hilaria Baldwin's labour love
Hilaria Baldwin "loves" giving birth.
The 32-year-old beauty is currently expecting her third child with her husband Alec Baldwin and has admitted she's looking forward to going into labour because she enjoys the effects the drugs she's given throughout have on her.
Speaking to Fit Pregnancy and Baby magazine, she said: "I'd originally wanted to have my kids without drugs, but I ended up having epidurals for both. It gives you just enough relief, so you feel happy and present but not numb. With Rafa, I laboured without one for 15 hours, and I was in extreme pain. Then I got the shot, and suddenly I was smiling. I love giving birth, probably because of the drugs."
The brunette yoga instructor has three-year-old daughter Carmen and 12-month-old son Rafael with her spouse but believes her third pregnancy has been the most difficult.
She said: "So many women give up. They think, I'm a mom now, so I'm always going to be out of shape. No! I'm of the opinion that just because we're pregnant doesn't mean we're sick. Let's be strong and in the best shape possible."
And, although she's due to give birth later this year, Hilaria - who married Alec in 2012 - still jogs 16 miles a week.
She added: "I still jog four miles, four days a week, though I plan to switch to swimming soon.
"I do barre class three times a week. And I do yoga every day. For me, it's all part of having a healthy mind-set."
Alec, 58, also has 20-year-old daughter Ireland with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.

A Falcon from day one
According to the AJC, the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a one-year contract with their long-time center Todd McClure. McClure was originally drafted in the seventh round way back in 1999. From 2002 to 2010, McClure played in every Falcons game. Last year he snapped that streak as he only played in thirteen regular season games.
The Falcons know what they are getting from McClure and he will help bring some stability to an offensive line as the Falcons continue to search for answers on that front. The center spot is the anchor of the offensive line. Not only is the chemistry between center and quarterback important but the center also calls a lot of the blocking assignments when blitzes are shown at the line of scrimmage. McClure's return allows the Falcons to have an answer at that position as they bring Joe Hawley around. It helps the Falcons focus on more pressing needs along the offensive line with their draft picks (possibly Kelechi Osemele).
It's nice to have McClure back in the fold for at least one more year. It's not often that you get to see a player retire with the team that drafted him but it looks like that could happen for McClure and the Falcons.

WELL, it seems that all these years I have got Mr (Gerald) Stoodley wrong.
I always thought that his many letters on various subjects were an excuse to continue highlighting personal deeds. Now I realise that his use of irony had me – and I am sure many others – fooled.
Three weeks ago in these columns he was promoting yourself as a potential successor to Sir George Young, while at the same time congratulating our retiring MP.
Until I realised the error of my ways, last week's contribution – deprecating your choices and scornful of Sir George's fundraising efforts compared with his own – came as a surprise.
I am now convinced that he offers these contradictions simply for our amusement.
As for his second choice for incoming MP, Councillor Ian Carr, this could only mean more "growth for Andover".
Growth in empty shops in town, growth in pothole numbers, growth in councillors' expenses…need I go on?
Perhaps that could be an electioneering slogan: A vote for Carr is a vote for growth.
However, in the style of Mr Stoodley, I digress. I should have realised the humour in his missives when he promised a couple of years back to quit writing, and confirmed last week when his "well-written and meaningful material" ends up in your bin.
Shame on you Mr Editorial!

"SUCH IS THE RECIPE FOR LIFE"by Sababa Surf
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
"SUCH IS THE RECIPE FOR LIFE" - This piece combines a balanced chaos that fuses several themes together. "OK" is represented in bold graffiti, and overall the painting shows us that throughout life, several road blocks and speed bumps come up, and mostly in the most inopportune of moments, but that we must persevere. One of the most important lesson in life is to hold your friends close to your heart. The lyric, "So hold nice and close, the ones that get to your soul." by Xavier Rudd

Jan. 14, 2013
This season, you will see the name Barnette emblazoned on the back of two different Virginia uniforms. The siblings bear a striking resemblance to one another on and off the court. Both like to shoot the long ball, with No. 4 making six of nine field goals this season from beyond the arc. Both are in their first seasons with Virginia, trying to work through that learning curve, but the similarities on the court end there. No. 4 is a combo guard who has been spending time at point guard, while No. 3 is a post player who can spread the defense with that three-point range. The biggest difference between the two is that No. 3 Sarah Beth Barnette plays for the women's team while No. 4 Taylor Barnette suits up for the men.
Both Sarah Beth and Taylor Barnette had a round-about journey to becoming one of just five brother-sister tandems this year playing Division I basketball at the same school. Sarah Beth originally enrolled at Kentucky, the school where her older brother Ryan was enrolled as an architecture major, playing her freshman season with the Wildcats.
"When she chose Kentucky, I thought all hopes were gone of playing with her at the same school," Taylor said.
After a year at UK, the alma mater of both her mother and father, Michelle and Ross, Sarah Beth decided to transfer and started looking at a variety of schools. She found Virginia in the most unlikely of places: her own kitchen. Virginia men's basketball head coach Tony Bennett had sent a packet of recruiting material to Taylor.
"I just happened to see a UVa thing laying on the counter," Sarah Beth said. "It really caught my eye, so I got on the computer and looked it up. I read about Coach Boyle and it looked like somewhere I would want to go."
Because of the transfer, Sarah Beth had to sit out her first year at Virginia. In May of last year, Taylor, who had originally signed to play basketball elsewhere, was freed from his original commitment and made the decision that he would be coming to Virginia, putting them both on the court for the first time this season.
"She had a big impact in my decision," Taylor said. "I liked everything about UVa men's basketball. Having family where you go to college just makes it better."
"We grew up in a close family," Sarah Beth said. "I started at UK with my older brother. Now Taylor and I are both here and playing. It is a really rare thing and a rare opportunity. It's always a lot of fun. He is also my favorite shooting partner, so we can hit the gym together now, which is a good thing. It's great having him here."
The two have been playing basketball together since they were young, with driveway wars breaking out almost daily.
"Our parents always knew who won the game because the loser always slammed the door," Taylor said.
For most of their lives, it was Taylor who was the door-slammer.
"We used to play one-on-one, and I was taller," Sarah Beth said. "He hadn't hit his growth spurt yet, so I was able to back him down and score on him that way."
Eventually, the 6-3 Taylor caught up to his 6-2 older sister.
"I don't remember the exact day, but there was a lot of celebrating," Taylor said of the first time he managed to beat his older sis.
With the men playing primarily on Saturdays and the women on Sundays, the two Barnettes often get to watch and support one another. They don't trade notes as much as they just talk and catch up.
"More than anything, we can relate to what each other is going through," Sarah Beth said. "We are glad to be together."
The closeness of the two siblings becomes even more apparent in their descriptions of one another.
"Taylor has never had a bad day," Sarah Beth said when describing her brother. "I can't remember one time Taylor has had a bad day. He will never say anything derogatory about anyone else, even if he is upset about something. He'll never say anything even if he is upset because he has such a great attitude. He's the most positive person I've ever been around. And I've had to grow up with him. That is the number one thing I would say about him."
Taylor returns the compliments in his description of his sis.
"She is one of the sweetest, nicest girls I have ever been around," Taylor said. "I've had so many people come up to me at UVa and say to me `your sister is the nicest person I have ever met in my entire life.' She really is. She is sweet and she is nice. I love her very much."
