The forager 0
"One who searches widely over an area in order to obtain something, especially food or provisions."
This morning I went foraging.
The method:
Settle on a menu for tomorrow's dinner. Check out what you have in the fridge/cupboard and make note of missing ingredients.
Express your intention is to forage for the requisite foodstuffs. Head to Waitrose with hessian bag.
Patrol aisles occasionally picking up produce and placing in bag. Fill bag.
Exchange money for goods and take home free coffee for life partner.
This will typically work for any menu, exotica aside. The ingredients have to be available in quality supermarkets near you. There are alternative versions involving multiple sources and locations but I am not covering those scenarios in this post. Stick with mainstream cuisines and you will be safe.
Enjoy foraging…

New Zealand is located in the South Pacific Ocean, 2000km East of Australia, and is comprised of two main islands, the North Island and South Island. Despite its relatively small size, the country is quite biodiverse and has a wide array of different topography, landscape, scenery and terrain.
The myriad of mountain peaks, volcanoes, alpine lakes, rolling green fields and hills, humongous valleys and gorgeous beaches has gained New Zealand a reputation as one of the most beautiful, tranquil and idyllic countries on earth, with millions of people visiting every year to sample these natural delights.
Hiking and trekking are a couple of the best ways to get out and explore this exquisite countryside. Cross rivers through stunning forests and falls, or hike along high mountains and glaciers with unobstructed views, often on the same day!
The Southern Alps is probably the most famous area for hiking and trekking, with countless routes and trails that take in the large amount of raw natural scenery.
There is plenty more to see and do in New Zealand, from the big cities of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, to isolated and remote coastline and beaches, and the outdoor activity mecca of Queenstown.
There are so many possibilities when visiting New Zealand that in order to help with your decision making, we've taken the time to compile a list of the top spots and some other useful information. This will hopefully help you when planning for your next hiking adventure to New Zealand!
New Zealand is a truly gorgeous and beautiful country, and it encompasses an amazing amount of diverse scenery in comparison with its small size. The North Island features many volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, with large lakes and exquisite beaches also featuring prominently.
The South Island is more well-know than the North for its magnificent scenery, with the Southern Alps dominating the landscape as they snake 500km down the island. There are huge alpine lakes and landscapes, with the area around Queenstown being particularly popular with outdoor activity enthusiasts.
Trekking and hiking are a brilliant way to get and stay fit, with the added bonus of being exposed to some truly breath-taking and jaw-dropping views and scenery, of which there is no shortage of in New Zealand. From snow-capped mountains to epic volcanoes, rocky ridges and terrain to tranquil alpine forests, lakes and glaciers, you can make your way around all these and more on both islands. Exploring all of this on foot is the best and most rewarding way to discover what makes New Zealand tick.
Due to its relative geographical isolation and late arrival of humans, biodiversity in New Zealand was allowed to thrive, causing biological isolation and thus a unique evolutionary system. 82% of the plants in New Zealand are endemic, and some of the exotic local animal species include the world famous Kiwi bird and many types of frogs, spiders and insects, as well as having more penguin species than any other country on earth. Hiking and trekking are superb ways to interact and get close to this brilliant and abundant flora and fauna.
Gillespie Pass is nestled within the mighty Southern Alps on the South Island of New Zealand, and is a hikers paradise that links the Young Valley with the Siberia and Wilkin Valleys in Mt. Aspiring National Park.
Located just a short drive from Wanaka, the untouched, pristine alpine bush that lines the path will lead you over gorgeous green valleys and fields, as well as snowy and rocky terrain.
There are ample amazing views out over the majestic Southern Alps, including Mt. Alba (2360m), and a highlight of this area is a visit to Lake Crucible, regarded as one of the most picturesque, pretty and tranquil lakes in the country.
The Brewster Glacier is located within the Southern Alps, close by to Haast Pass on the Main Divide.
The Glacier is a manageable trekking distance from the town of Wanaka, and you will experience the thrill of crossing the Haast River via Fantail Falls to reach Brewster Hut, which offers some of the best views in the Alps.
Hiking to Brewster Glacier is relatively straightforward from the hut, and an alternative is to scale the summit of nearby Mount Armstrong (2179m).
Winter can get quite cold in New Zealand, especially in the main Southern Alps region on the South Island, therefore most hiking and trekking tours are run in the warmer months, generally from November to April. This ensures the most fun and comfortable experience for all, and also gives the best opportunity to see the glorious scenery in all its beauty.
So what are you waiting for? Book now to experience all the raw natural beauty of New Zealand with an epic and awesome trekking and hiking trip.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures!

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- This wasn't your high school's science fair.
Air Force Research Laboratory scientists and engineers around the country showcased everything Tuesday from robotic "snakes" that peer into the wings of an aircraft to hypersonic rockets on science missions launched around the globe.
The presentation of about 15 groundbreaking research concepts at the AFRL's Materials and Manufacturing Directorate at Wright-Patterson was a practice of sorts for sending the projects to the Pentagon on May 18, Department of Defense Lab Day.
"I view this first and foremost as an education event in educating our senior leaders in terms of what is coming down the road, what are we researching, what's the art of the possible," said Morley Stone, AFRL chief technology officer. "Science and technology is changing so much so fast, it's really important to continue that education process so they understand where are the frontiers going."
"...The breath of the research that we're doing is enormous," said Maj. Gen. William T. Cooley, newly installed AFRL commander.
Among the research included one project to produce relatively cheap, reusable unmanned aircraft to bulk up the size of a shrinking Air Force fleet. Another has explored "gene editing technology," which could potentially boost the endurance of airmen on long range missions, among other uses, researchers said.
Low Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LAACT), a proposed low cost drone, would work in tandem with current aircraft such as F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters. The drone may spy on battlefield adversaries, carry weapons or jam communications. Researchers have aimed for a price tag of about $3 million each based on buying a fleet of 100, according to AFRL.
"If you team up a bunch of these aircraft with an F-35 or an F-22, or some of our surveillance assets, you'd basically be able to cover more space at a lower cost point," said Bill Baron, LCAAT project manager. "In a lot of cases, we don't have enough airplanes and as you look to the future, most likely our fleet sizes are going to continue to be more limited so this is a way to provide a force multiplier."
The Air Force Office of Scientific Research has explored military applications of "gene editing" technology.
"It's cutting-edge technology being used throughout the scientific field," said Heather Pangburn, lead toxicologist at the 711th Human Performance Wing's Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine. "There's many avenues that it can be applied to," from treatment of disease to improving crop to increased milk production in cows, she said.
Patrick Roach, AFOSR chief of physical and gene editing technology in Arlington, Va., said: "What we find with this technology intriguing is the fact that we may be able to create entire new proteins with it, or add and help aerospace medicine in the future, maybe look at enhancement of new materials that are stronger (with) greater tensile strength and help synthetic biology in a way that's never been done."
One day, for example, that may mean the technology could aid airmen to stay alert on long missions rather than rely on chemical substances, he said.
"That's a long way off," Roach said. "We don't know all the deleterious things that might be there. You've got to look at those. We've got to be very careful going forward making sure that we don't produce something that was unintended."
The Air Force does not plan to test the technology on humans or animals, he said. He anticipated more research with organizations such as the National Institutes for Health.
In the skies of hypersonic flight, the Air Force has launched seven sound rockets in Australia, Hawaii, and Norway to explore hypersonic vehicles, said 2nd Lt. Malia Stephens, an AFRL aerospace research engineer at Wright-Patterson.
The project is called HiFIRE, short for called Hypersonic International Flight Research Experimentation, in a scientific collaboration with Australia.
"We fly at hypersonic speeds and take data so you think of it like a wind tunnel in the sky," she said. "Today, we don't have a lot of hypersonic data because we don't have a lot of hypersonic flying vehicles, so you can't simulate what's in a wind tunnel on the ground accurately as you can it its flying in the air."

4 common blogging mistakes – (en)
Publicado el enero 24, 2014 por Dugutigui
Let me be myself [everyone else is already taken] for a second. This approach annoys me more than all the rest combined. When you publish blog posts without adding any value to conversations, you end up wasting my precious pixels.
Do not trade the delights of your suffering for anything in the world, and consider unhappiness as the ultimate form of self-indulgence. The harsh truth is your readers aren't interested in you, your twopenny life.
Show some mercy to my time. When you kill it, remember that it has no resurrection. Sadly, quality, relevant content can't be spotted by an algorithm. Publishing material indiscriminately that lacks substance adds to the noise, and diminishes your credibility.
4 Common Blogging Mistakes – Dugutigui
Acerca de DugutiguiIn the "Diula" language in Mali, the term « dugutigui » (chief of the village), literally translated, means: «owner of the village»; «dugu» means village and «tigui», owner. Probably the term is the result of the contraction of «dugu kuntigui» (literally: chief of the village).

Gede Prama dijo:
Thank you friend for sharing this article quite interesting, hopefully we all get real happiness yamg rays began to warm our hearts and make the heart glad, when we can share it with sincere to each other. Affectionate greetings from Gede Prama 🙂 🙂
Thank you! May the forces of evil become confused in the way to your home!!! 🙂 🙂
uthamz dijo:
Excellent post ! Brief and to-the- point !
Thank you Utham!!
smilecalm dijo:
now you're getting personal!
perhaps it's suggested
i should publish a post
when i have something
to say!
not such a bad idea 🙂
Don't take it personal. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream [or their own failure] 🙂
But yes, publish a post when you have something to say! Hahahaha! [And yes, I know, how can I say to my brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when I myself do not see the log that is in my own eye? I hypocrite should first take the log out of my own eye, and then I will see clearly to take out the speck that is in my brother's eye. 🙂 🙂 ]
smilecalm dijo:
worthy advice 🙂
The Bible [against my general opinion] is not always wrong … 🙂
Sandee dijo:
I used to blog every day — I felt compelled. Now I blog whenever I feel like it, sometimes more than a month has passed before I do. I started to promote my book and found that blogging was more than I had signed on for. I had no idea what I was getting into. But, now I'm here.
That's what I'm doing myself!
For the rest, one final paragraph of advice: Don't believe anything you read on the net. Except this. Well, including this, I suppose. 🙂
Malin H dijo:
Do you think you need to publish daily?: I don't think so, but I do that.
Are you being self-indulgent?: Maybe, maybe not… And I know that my readers aren't interested in me, but some of them are (maybe it's only in my imagination).
Lame headlines?: I'm trying to keep them simple, but maybe my headlines are lame.
Are you adding to the noise?: I don't know, I don't think so.
An interesting post about how difficult it actually is in trying to be heard. And (for some reason) we all want/need to be seen and heard (more than ever).
The bottom line… should I continue blogging. Maybe I should quit while I'm on top and then… I'm just gone and noone remembers me at all, because noone really cares. But that's life.
I know the feeling, how strange it is what drives us may abandon us midstream, how what tickles our ears with lies one moment may tell us truths that knock us on our emotional ass the next.
I think life is similar to a bus ride. The journey begins when we board the bus.
We meet people along our way of which some are strangers, some friends and some strangers yet to be friends. There are stops at intervals and people board in.
At times some of these people make their presence felt, leave an impact through their grace and beauty on us fellow passengers while on other occasions they remain indifferent.
But then it is important for some people to make an exit, to get down and walk the paths they were destined to because if people always made an entrance and never left either for the better or worse, then we would feel suffocated and confused like those people in the bus, the purpose of the journey would lose its essence and the journey altogether would neither be worthwhile nor smooth. I made an exit some time ago https://damantigui.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/farewell-en , but people complained so much 🙂 🙂 I had to board again…
Malin H dijo:
Wise said.
I know exactly what you mean. You put words on this issue and I like that a lot.
I made an exit as well a long time ago in a former WP blog I had. In May 2012 I decided to start blogging again. And of course, I really appreciate the followers/readers and I got some special friends too.
Sometimes I'm so fed up with everything and feel that I just want to move out into the woods, to get away from just about everything.
I will check your farewell post. 😉
I think it happens to most of us. Just when you though things were starting to get better, everything had gone wrong again, as insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results… For a while ["for a while" is a phrase whose length can't be measured. At least by the person who's waiting] I'm in stand by, waiting to depart, not to the woods, back to Africa… and waiting is the most difficult bit. As a consolation, I think that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them 🙂 🙂
Malin H dijo:
Mmm. I know what you mean. And I do agree, people who are late are so much jollier than those who have to wait for them.
And now some OT:
The american author Fran Lebowitz said that "the opposite of talking isn't listening. The opposite of talking is waiting."
It could have more than one sense … most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they wait with the intent to reply 🙂
Malin H dijo:
puzzleblume dijo:
I prefer it simple. I don't care.
This is very Coco [Chanel] 🙂
"I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all." 🙂 🙂
amberafrica dijo:
Did you have to go and kill my new enthusiasm for blogging 🙂 I was on the verge of such big things,haha. Great post!!!
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm Hahahaha!!
Seriously, thank you first, and then, be sure my intention was pure … that which does not kill us makes us stronger [a pure intention, as you can see… 🙂 ]
On other hand I believe you have not only strength, but an indomitable will. 🙂 [As a brave man I acknowledge the strength of others] 🙂 🙂
amberafrica dijo:

Charron's Chatter dijo:
To my way of thinking–people publish godawfully long blog posts. Brevity is appreciated. I mean, I have other things to do….
Naturally, the insecure person inside me thinks this article is all about me. The egocentric person inside me does, too. Fortunately, I have a Zenmaster in there (godawfully crowded) who walks a different path. More 8 shaped, an' all…
There will be no more literary work of merit at the rate we are going.
(I abbreviated the above mentioned, but decided the acronym might be misleading)
Whatever happens around this blog, don't take it personally…
For the rest I'm agreed with you! Internet and literature seem antonyms…
The truth is that sometimes I write long post … because I have no time to make them short … 🙂

Brilliant post.
Thank you!
Java Girl dijo:
In your experience, do you think there is a connection between how a blogger writes and how they act in real life? Do you think a person who writes a long blog would make a good conversationalist compared to a blogger who only writes a short blog? Just curious. I'm a good conversationalist in real life if I were to meet a stranger. Great post!
My experience in blogging is limited, as I'm not a professional blogger, but trying to answer you question, I don't think a blogger that writes a long blog makes necessarily a good conversationalist, at least any more than going to church makes someone a Christian. Not even a good writer would make a good conversationalist, and vice versa.
A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet. Blogging is mostly a monologue. Conversations consist for the most part of things one does not say. In blogging sometimes we say things we otherwise wouldn't mention in a normal conversation. A good conversationalist probably is a person with appetite for loneliness, and there is something about this solitude that freed conversation. Most bloggers, al least I am, are loners, and when you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
Thank you very much for your good point [and conversation]!
El Guapo dijo:
Excellent post!
I will take these guidelines into consideration whence I start my daily posting of my 72-part opus, Ode To Socks I wore Last Month.
Or not. Yeah, probably not.
(Though I'd have broken all the rules by day two!)
Thank you very much!
The post is just my personal opinion [and everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own, which is probably my case]. On other hand, if you know the rules well, you can break them effectively 🙂
Eric Alagan dijo:
These mistakes are "common" all right!
Probably I will die of a sort of creeping "common" sense [and discover, when it is too late, that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes] 🙂 🙂
Thanks for the comment!
Aliosa dijo:
Thank you for your like !
Thank you for your comment!
philsandersonwriter dijo:
Very wise words, these!
Thank you for your nice comment!
But I think I am still too young to be called wise [and too old to be called young] 🙂
elenacaravela dijo:
Good post!
Thank you!!
FeyGirl dijo:
Excellent! Some of the best writing out there is often the most succinct. Rambling is easy, as is throwing out nonsense. I do it all the time… "Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored they go out for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing." (Scott Westerfield)
I'm completely agreed with you, although I also too often break my own rules 🙂 I think the point is that there are several fundamental differences between a blog and a book. One is the length of texts [if you want to be read]. As ridiculous, I think, would be to write a one page book, as a 500-pages post.
Thanks for your comment!

I don't know. I disagree with points one and two. I think if someone can be creative and tell a story (well), whether it be personal, objective, daily, weekly, monthly, or once in a lifetime, it deserves to be told (or in this case written.)
Points three and four are subjective to the reader in my opinion.
Good post nonetheless.
The beginning of thought is in disagreement [not only with others, but also with ourselves].
Thanks for your comment!

skull ring, heart + cross bangles ALDO || outfit LeCHATEAU – diy Cap Toe Heels & Glitter Clutch
Spring is finally here in Calgary! (No matter how it tries to get away- get out of here April snow we know you can't hold on much longer!) Cedric and I stepped out to enjoy the weather today, he had the best time running around the yard, did you notice him?! I'm wearing few of my favourite trends for spring- a neutral relaxed top is my key wardrobe piece, I love the sheer back on this one, the light fabric and the cuffed sleeves- it just drapes perfectly for an easy, breezy cool look! Speaking of cool, I am determined to pave the way towards shorts, even though the weather really doesn't merit it.
Mint and gold are two colors I have been obsessed with for ages- I made this DIY Glitter Clutch around this time last year and am still loving it! Another spring trend I DIY'd? Neon + Nude ColorBlock Cap Toe Heels– super easy to make and a super cute spring trend to try! Both DIY's are cheap, fast and easy- just how I like em!
I accessorized my outfit based around my spring inspiration DIY's. I got this turquoise claw necklace while visiting one of my best girlfriends in Vancouver a few summers ago- she took me to this amazing little vintage shop and I have been dreaming of returning ever since! Whenever I wear it I remember summer fun with a beautiful friend! Subtle stacked gold bangles and mixed metal rings paired with colorful feather earrings add to the easy summer vibe. I'm dreaming of Coachella from Calgary I suppose!

Analytics can mitigate ICD-10 downside
We spoke with Greg Krantz, director of provider solutions at MedeAnalytics, from the 2015 AHIMA Convention and Exhibit in New Orleans. The mood there on Wednesday was one of cautious optimism, laced with uncertainty, he said.
"People are bracing for ICD-10," said Krantz. "People don't know what the impact is going to be."
One thing that does seem certain, however, is that even the most well-prepared health organization, with the most well-oiled technology and well-rested staff, can probably expect to see at least a minor hiccup in performance.
Smart analytics will be critical to making sure that setback is as minor as possible. As ICD-10 becomes the new reality, providers will need to suss out trend lines and spot outliers, fixing problems as they see them. They'll have track coding and billing efficiency and ensure accurate physician documentation. Benchmarking – internally and compared with peers – is essential.
"What we anticipate is a drop in performance, over a number of different metrics," said Krantz. "Beginning at the beginning, we'd expect denials to increase, case mix index to drop, CC/MCC capture rates to drop. And then for some of the more revenue cycle-related metrics, AR days, discharged not final coded days, discharged not final billed days, we expect a spike in those efficiency metrics."
Across the board, on both the clinical and financial side, "there's going to be an impact on performance as clinicians just basically get used to the new specificity required and the coders, even though they've been preparing, (find that) in a real live environment being able to translate the the documentation in a timely fashion is going to be a challenge," he said.
This is where the work of all these past many years can make or break: "Some of the smaller facilities that maybe haven't spent as much time, money, resources on the preparation, there's going to be a much larger impact," said Krantz. "Certainly, the larger organizations that have had system-wide training and dual coding preparation, I think the impact is going to be mitigated."
In both cases, however, vigorous follow-up can help blunt any adverse impact from ICD-10.
"Understanding the trend from ICD-9 to ICD-10 is the first thing," he said. "For August-September to October-November, what does the trend line look like for case mixes? Where are you trending after ICD-10? If our predictions are right, we're going to see a drop in performance across the board, but you won't understand it if there indeed is a drop in performance. That's the first thing."
The second key: if there is a drop in performance, "how does that compare to a peer group? How does that compare to others experiencing the ICD-10 transition for a like hospital? We're able to use our benchmarking – we actually benchmark against our own internal client base, several hundred facilities across the country," said Krantz. "A lot of people have been using MEDPAR (Medicare Provider Analysis and Review), which is Medicare inpatient claims data from CMS, for benchmarking. That is 12 to 18 months old. As of October 1, that's not relevant anymore. It's ICD-9 performance."
Finally, just as important as benchmarking against peers is benchmarking against yourself, he said: "We've got data going back two years: So in January 2016 you can compare your case mix index to January of 2015 and you can see a trend, of Jan.-June 2016 compared with 2015."
Some hospitals "will be able to do some rudimentary data crunching to figure out where opportunities lie," said Krantz. "But if they don't have the capabilities to drill down into those opportunities and find out specifically what physicians need to be trained and educated, and what claims from need to be focused on in a medical record audit, it'll be difficult to be able to stay on top of it, day to day."

A report from energy research firm Wood Mackenzie shows that China has significantly reduced the use of dirty coal as part of its efforts to clean up air quality, CNBC reported.
The use of low-quality coal, known as sanmei, in the world's most populous country is expected to drop to 469 million tons this year, compared to 774 million tons in 2012. Over 80%, or 650 million tons of that coal, was used in the industrial sector in 2012.
Sanmei is a low-quality coal that mainly used in heating.
Coal in China
China is the largest producer and consumer of coal in the world and is the largest user of electricity produced using coal. It ranks third in the world in terms of total coal reserves behind the United States and Russia.
Wood Mackenzie estimates that the use of industrial sanmei would reduce to 191 million tons by 2025 from 650 million tons in 2012. By 2035, the use of the dirty coal is expected to fall to 100 million tons, according to the firm.
China has been trying to emerge as a services-oriented economy – moving away from the title of a manufacturing-oriented economy.
In April 2016, the National Energy Administration issued a directive banning construction of new coal-fired power plants in many parts of the country. In January this year, the authority canceled a total of 103 coal power plants despite the resistance of local authorities.
The biggest Chinese coal and mining companies include China Shenhua Energy Company Limited (HKG:1088), China Coal Energy Company Limited (HKG:1898), Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd. (HKG:2899) and China Northern Rare Earth Gp H-T Co Ltd (SHA:600111).

"This year at the State Fair, I will once again go through the Ag buildings to marvel at what our farmers and ranchers have produced. And yes, I will have some sweet corn, dripping with melted butter and black pepper."
We do live in a wonderful country. Especially this time of year, when one can drive for hours and hours and hours, and see nothing but food being grown. Once again this year, the corn and the soy bears look very healthy. Almost 90% of the corn in Minnesota is in the good to excellent category; spring wheat and soybeans, in the mid 80% range. That is good and bad at the same time for farmers. Good - lots of food to go to market with. Bad - depressed crop prices once again.
Much is being made out of the trade war which China is using to target our farmers with. But guess what? China has 1.4 billion people with a small percentage of the world's farmland. They are pulling out every trick in the book to squeeze more and more productivity out of every square inch of precious farmland. Where rich, productive farmland is abundant in America, it is much more scarce in China. China has a lot of mountains and a whole lot of deserts.
Besides all of which, the Chinese diet is changing. They are starting to acquire more tastes like we have. Not totally, but some. But enough so much, they have needed to import some food items. They can trade with Brazil, Argentina and Australia - all of which are having some very dry years. Or they can trade with the United States. Bottom line? We have excellent and abundant soy beans to sell, and the Chinese love our pork. I think that very soon, cooler heads will prevail - especially in China. Then there will be a lessening of many of the long held tariffs China has used on our goods. Chalk up another win for President Trump.
Who gets the credit and/or the blame for our abundant harvests as well as depressed crop prices? You can start with the University of Minnesota. Over the years, the University as well as other colleges and research labs, have taken native maize, and using hybrid technology, have come up with a corn plant which is disease resistant, drought resistant, prolific in production, and can live a healthy life on a very small chunk of soil. Mix in some herbicides, fertilizers, farmer "know-how", and of course, adequate moisture, and you have today's miracle corn. Not just a little of it - "bin busters" full of it.
For years now, every time I see a police officer or first responder, I thank them for what they do to keep us safe. Maybe it would be a good idea to start thanking farmers also. For many who own and operate small farms, this occupation is not for the weak or weak willed. It is more work than I could ever imagine. Some say that farmers complain a lot. Maybe they do. With what they have to put up with day by day, they are entitled to bitch every now and again. The bottom line is this. Farmers make up a small percentage of our population, yet not only feed all of us, but grow enough to sell or share world wide.
This year at the State Fair, I will once again go through the Ag buildings to marvel at what our farmers and ranchers have produced. And yes, I will have some sweet corn, dripping with melted butter and black pepper. Enjoy those first bites folks - the sweet corn in Minnesota is about as fine as it gets!

Above the Fold
A buffet of negative news items made for a challenging Monday in the equity markets. A rising dollar was seen as a cause of the equity market weakness yesterday, as well as perceived weakness in Apple iPhone supplier orders, and global regulatory risks for Goldman Sachs. The dollar has been rising on trade war concerns, rising U.S. interest rates and weaker growth rates outside the U.S. Investors also worry about a hit to corporate profits that a strong dollar would create, as about 40 percent of S&P 500 earnings are generated from sales outside the U.S.
The dollar index hit a high of 97.58, its highest level since June 23, 2017. The U.S. currency also hit a one-year high against the euro and Swiss franc. Continued threats of a trade war with China and with European automakers have continued to put upward pressure on the dollar.
Large technology stocks have not fared well over the past six months, and the FAANG index is now approaching bear market territory after a terrible Monday performance, down 4.1 percent. The FAANG index has declined 19.3 percent since its all-time high on June 20. Large tech stocks were the former leaders of the upward move in the market, and the market has struggled to find new leadership as these large stocks have broken down.
Three Things
- The price of crude oil fell again yesterday to $59.10 a barrel and is now down 23 percent from the recent high of $76.50 on Oct. 3. While Saudi Arabia's energy minister said OPEC and its allies may need to cut crude production by about 1 million barrels a day to prevent the market from moving into oversupply, President Trump tweeted at noon that Saudi Arabia should not cut production. This proclamation caused crude prices to decline further. The administration did not enact any new sanctions on Saudi Arabia after the Khashoggi murder, so the president may now feel that he has some leverage over Saudi Arabia's oil production plans. Rising oil supplies from the United States, OPEC and Russia and forecasts for weaker-than-expected demand growth have kept downward pressure on prices. The U.S. is now producing about 11.6 million barrels per day, more than 10 percent of global demand.
- The Labor Department is trying to make it easier for companies to transfer small balances in 401(k) accounts to the employee's next employer and is implementing new language around the automatic transfer of balances less than $5,000. Balances greater than $5,000 require employee consent. The catalyst for the change is that a large amount of 401(k) accounts are simply cashed out and spent when an employee with a small balance leaves a job. On average, about 30 percent of people leaving jobs elect to cash out their 401(k) accounts and pay taxes — and often penalties — rather than leave the money or transfer it to another tax-advantaged retirement plan. As many as 80 percent of people leaving jobs with less than $5,000 in their accounts eventually cash out. This leakage is bad for the asset management industry, so the big 401(k) asset management firms are strong proponents of this new initiative.
- Business Insider notes that Amazon's search for a new headquarters campus, known as HQ2, provided Amazon with huge tax breaks from the winning bid cities. But the search process has also given Amazon something that's potentially far more valuable than any subsidies it may have been awarded: a treasure trove of economic, demographic and city planning data. Amazon received proposals from 238 cities vying to be chosen as the home of its second headquarters, and every one of those bids came with confidential demographic data and city plans for future growth. "Amazon has a godlike view of what's happening in digital commerce, and now cities have helped give it an inside look at what's happening in terms of land use and development across the U.S. Amazon will put that data to prodigious use in the coming years to expand its empire," said Stacy Mitchell, director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, a D.C. think tank. While the information in many of those proposals is sealed from public view, we can assume that most HQ2 bids contain details about optimal sites for development, current and future land use and development projects, planned infrastructure investments, and demographic information. Amazon could use this data to aid in the future expansion of the company, as it selects sites for new stores, warehouses, data centers, fulfillment centers and other brick-and-mortar needs.
Did You Know
There are 535 members of the United States Congress: 100 seats in the Senate, and 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Each of the 50 states holds two Senate seats, regardless of the population size of that state. Each seat in the House today represents an average of about 750,000 Americans. But why are there 435 seats in the House? There is no static or constitutionally mandated number. At the time of the country's founding, the House of Representatives had 65 members when it was first seated in 1789. The Constitution's framers set a baseline of 30,000 citizens per representative and intended for the House to grow along with the population. But it was a baseline, not a law or established guideline.
The New York Times notes that to ensure that the number of representatives continued to grow, James Madison proposed a constitutional amendment for a formula that explicitly tied the size of the House to the total number of American citizens. The amendment failed, but Congress still expanded the size of the House throughout the first half of the nation's existence, and it grew in every decade but one until 1911. Since that year, it has remained at 435. In 1929, Congress passed a law capping the size of the House and shifting responsibility for future reapportionment onto the Commerce Department. There is no constitutional basis for a membership of 435; it's arbitrary, and it could be undone by Congress at any time.
Some people say that we need to expand the number of representatives in the House, as 750,000 citizens are simply too large and diverse a group of people for one person to listen to, understand and represent. Other folks feel that 435 bums in Congress are quite enough, thank you.
When the U.S. was founded, it was a country of only 3 million people all living on the East Coast, so it would have been very difficult for the founders to plan for the country of 330 million people that we are today. The original standard of one per 30,000 citizens would not work, as we would now have 11,000 House members.
But some have proposed that the number of representatives should be based on a clear pattern for mature democracies, such as Canada and Japan, a number which is the cube root of the population. In the U.S., that cube root standard would total 593 House members instead of the current 435.

May31,2014(ISN) – They finished third in the 4 Hours of Imola in the European Le Mans Series Championship and Nelson Panciatici and his Signatech-Alpine team hold third place in the provisional standings. This weekend they are at Le Mans 24 Hours' Test Day for the whole team to focus on fine-tuning the Alpine A 450 b because, even though defending their ELMS title is their main objective, Le Mans 24 Hours is nevertheless the main event!
Although Nelson Panciatici is no stranger to Le Mans 24 Hours' circuit anymore, he still has plenty to do. He will help the whole Signatech-Alpine team, managed by Philippe Sinault, optimize the tuning of the Alpine A 450 b.
With the Prix Jean Rondeau for best Rookie in 2012, Nelson Panciatici is confident as the day looms:
"We will have to get our marks as quickly as possible so that we can then focus on tuning the car with the new aerodynamic kit. The main objective of the day is to review all the tuning on the car and run endurance tests with all three types of tyres. We have the opportunity to work directly on Le Mans 24 Hours' circuit which has characteristics not found anywhere else. The day will allow us to gather important data for the race even though there's no rubber on the track, it will be a perfect warm-up. I feel comfortable in the team and I get on extremely well with my co-drivers Paul Loup Chatin and Oliver Webb, that's important. We have a fast and reliable car, I have been on the Ellip6 simulator, watched videos and worked on the data my engineer, Olivier Bacchis, gave me. I've also been doing the appropriate physical training so I feel ready! This is our opportunity to get into race conditions with regards to pace as much as traffic. I really can't wait to get there and rediscover the sensations I get in some parts such as the Porsche Curves. It's a magical event, I've been waiting for this for nearly a year!
The Signatech-Alpine team finished mounting the Alpine A 450 b in the Alpine factory. This strong symbolic gesture underlines their desire to continue to perpetuate the sporting achievements of the make. Nelson Panciatici, supported by his co-drivers, intends to take in as much information as possible for the coming Le Mans 24 Hours which takes place on June 14 and 15. For the drivers a victory is important, but first they must focus on the tests!

Call for abstracts: TransitData 2020 in Toronto, Canada
The Toronto symposium will place more emphasis on applications, and substantially broaden the discussion between practitioners and researchers interested in the use of public transportation automated data.
Both practitioners and researchers are encouraged to attend and to submit an abstract (maximum 1,000 words) for a proposed presentation.
Symposium topics
The topics of the symposium will include, but are not limited to:
- Applications using automated data to enhance strategic or service planning, performance measurement, fare policy, market research, and equity.
- Applications using automated data to assist in operations control, incident management, and service restoration.
- Use of automated data to understand demand, customer behavior, normal patterns of travel, and response to service disruptions.
- Methodological challenges in using automated data.
- New technologies for data collection.
- Visualization tools.
- Organizational challenges related to data management, access and governance.
Please note that the emphasis for this symposium is primarily on public transit (i.e., fixed route and demand responsive transit), but not on shared-use modes (e.g., car sharing, bike sharing, e-scooters, ride-hailing, robo-taxis, etc.), which have many other venues.
Important dates
- Extended abstract submission (maximum 1,000 words): Extended to February 17, 2020
- Acceptance notification: March 27, 2020
- Early Bird registration: by April 3, 2020 (Registration function coming soon)
- Pre-registration: by July 6, 2020
TransitData 2020, the 6th international symposium on the use of public transit automated data for planning and operations, will be held at the University of Toronto August 11-13, 2020. Organizers have launched a website, transitdata2020.ca, and Twitter account @2020Transit where they will post the latest conference news and announcements as well as reminders of abstract submission and registration due dates.
Technological advances and research on methodologies have dramatically increased the availability and quality of automated data that can be used to develop applications that enhance the planning and operations of public transportation systems. Automated Data Systems include: Advanced Fare Collection (AFC), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), GTFS-RT, on-board video surveillance, but also new sources of passive data obtained from mobile devices, social media and other Internet of Things (IoT) sensors.
A series of symposia have been held in recent years to explore both methodological challenges and potential applications, including: Gifu, Japan (2014), Boston, United States (2016), Santiago, Chile (2017), Brisbane, Australia (2018), and Paris, France (2019).

Uckfield played Bells Yew Green in their second match of the season, keen to put right their defeat of last week, writes Tom Grimes.
It started well for Uckfield, with opening bowler Matt Reed claiming an early wicket.
Bells Yew Green built steady partnerships however, with captain Andrew Broughton proving the mainstay, with some lovely leg side shots using the pace of the ball well.
He had good support from Ellis and Jones before Uckfield pegged them back.
An excellent second spell from Reed claimed him three more wickets, halting Bells Yew Green's push for 200. With two wickets apiece for Joe Burns and David Tungate, Bells Yew Green were restricted to 193.
In response, Uckfield's openers started well, being 36 without loss after ten overs.
The real difference was to be Bells Yew Green's first change bowlers, Pearson and Bowen, who accounted for Tungate and Griffiths cheaply, before the latter had Richard Coates caught after he made a good start.
The crucial wicket was that of Joe Burns. After going off with an injured shoulder, Burns braved the pain and came back in, only to chip Craven to extra cover for 37.
Before Burns' injury, he batted superbly, getting the perfect balance between defence and attack, and it was a real shame when he had to depart.
Good bowling
After that, Uckfield were never really in the chase, thanks to some good bowling and very good field placings.
Wicket-keeper Andrew Shelley and opening bowler Chris Brady scored 18 and 20 runs respectively, getting Uckfield to 154, giving them 11 points for the day.
Uckfield Anderida's next game is next Saturday away at Robertsbridge.
Meanwhile the second XI won at Barcombe in a stormy encounter (weather wise!), with Manthan Vyas taking 5 wickets and hitting a match winning 38 not out to seal the first win of the season. Next week the 2nd XI host Wadhurst.

You might be puzzled the first time an online vender asks for your credit card security or verification number when you are buying something. This code is easy to find on Visa and MasterCard credit cards. It is a three-digit number located on the back right side of your card, just next to your signature. American Express cards are an exception, as their four-digit security codes are printed on the upper-right portion of the card's front.
Security Code Purpose
The security code is on your card to ensure that the person placing an order has the card in hand. A would-be thief might get your card number and attempt to make an online purchase. Without the security code, though, he won't be able to complete the transaction. By asking you for the code, a merchant protects against fraudulent purchases.

The world is confusing: the more I read, the less I understand. The characters are bland: the more I struggle to picture them, the less invested I am. The premise promises but never before have I wished to chop a premise's head off as much as right now. The writing is beautiful, so it has that going for itself, but I'm not as shallow as I used to be and so will not finish this book by consuming the purple prose alone. I need to CONNECT. If you can't make me connect, you've failed in my eyes. Sorry not sorry.
The problem is that whenever there is a lack of meaningful development, whatever elements are actually included matter little. For instance, there are indeed diverse characters, but because I have found impossible imagining myself becoming friends (or even enemies) with any of the heroes/antiheroes, I cannot for the life of me think of one thing that makes these ''diverse'' characters memorable. We are introduced to too many, too soon. If the author had taken her time bringing the cast together, I believe she could have breathed more life into them and I would have been able to distinguish them better.

I'm not making this up. Here's the actual text for this job at Guild Insurance, Acerta, and Guild Trustee
"Harry Potter and the Graduate Developer role"
"Are you still reading this section? I'm impressed. Actually, prove you read it all by including something in your application somewhere…Let's see…How about you add a section to your application where you explain which fictional character you would be and why?"
So what is it we want you to do? You'll pretty much be an end to end Developer, doing all sorts of interesting and varied things. That's kind of cool because it gives you a chance to find the part of development you really like. Everyone has that part of development that they could do for hours and never get bored of, and finding your 'Holy rogue semicolon, Batman! This is the best!' means trying lots of stuff. Well, believe me; we have stuff by the bucket load for you to try...
Let's not kid ourselves, the number one reason for you is either delicious cash dollars or so you can get your relatives off your back with their 'when are you going to put that degree to use'. But, once you have the whole 'money to live on' thing down and can afford to fund your smashed avo addiction, you'll find the next best reason is simply for the experience."
I've got to wonder: why do insurance companies hire such idiots. Does anyone even review these job adverts before they go out the door?
It must be nice to take people's insurance premiums, and create position appealing to children only.

Vice President of the Parliament of Montenegro, Mr Željko Šturanović opened today the Third Session of the "Women's Parliament", where members of the Government answered the questions posed by participants, representatives of female groups of parliamentary parties and representatives of the civil society as well.
Opening the sitting of the Women's Parliament, Vice President of the Parliament of Montenegro, Mr Željko Šturanović, emphasised that Montenegro, by choosing the path of European and Euro-Atlantic integration as a framework for the overall democratic and economic development of the country, has been undertaking necessary measures for the purpose of achieving the equality of women and men in the society and thus achieving political, economic, social and cultural development.
He emphasised that the Parliament of Montenegro would provide support for the Gender Equality Committee and other competent bodies and pay a special attention to activities of organs and institutions from the gender equality field. Vice President Šturanović said that society should show civilisational maturity in the way that breaching of absolute human rights, especially women's rights, would be only at the level exceptions and incidents – hence much easier to be solve.
Chairperson of the Gender Equality Committee, Ms Nada Drobnjak, in her opening address, said, inter alia, that Montenegro has done a lot in the past period to completing the legal framework which guarantees equal chances and opportunities for both sexes. However, in practice we still face traditional understanding of the position and role of women in family and society. She estimated that in the past year important activities were carried out in the following fields: combating violence against women, strengthening women's participation in public and political life, strengthening mechanisms at the local level, encouraging women's entrepreneurship, initiating actions aimed at improving the status of rural women, improving the position of women from the Roma and Egyptian population and increasing participation of men in family responsibilities, concluding that there is still a lot to be done in order to adequately implement adopted legal forms.
Representatives of Montenegrin Government answered 22 questions posed by representatives of female groups of parliamentary parties and representatives of the civil society.
Gender Equality Committee organised "Women's Parliament" on the occasion of Eighth March - International Women's Day , with the aim of promoting women's human rights in Montenegro. The sitting was attended by representatives of the diplomatic corps, international organisations and local self-governments. Prior to the beginning of the Session, Chairperson of the Gender Equality Committee Ms Nada Drobnjak opened the exhibition of art works of children with intellectual disabilities, titled "Path of Love".
CEDEM's representative, Ms Dženita Brčvak, attended the third session of the Women's Parliament.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said the U.S. should destroy the MK-41 missile defense systems deployed in Romania, as well as its strike drones, to return to compliance with a Cold War-era nuclear pact, Reuters reported.
The Russian ministry also said he summoned the United States embassy's military attache to give him a note with Russia's demand.
Teodor Melescanu, the Romanian minister of foreign affairs, reacted to the news on Thursday evening, February 7, saying that the Deveselu base is a defensive one and shouldn't be a threat to Russia.
"The Deveselu Base is purely defensive. The story that it could host nuclear-powered cruise missiles is just a story with no real basis. There's no argument that it could create problems for Russia," Melescanu said at local TV station Antena 3, according to Digi24.
He added that Romania would have an official position after consulting with its allies.
Meanwhile, the Russian ambassador to Bucharest Valery Kuzmin said Russia "has no hostile, aggressive intention against Romania," Digi24 reported.
"No unfriendly, hostile action is planned and I assure you that Russia has no hostile, aggressive intention against Romania as long as we believe it is our neighbor, and the best way to build relationships with your neighbors is to provide the conditions for a good neighborhood," the diplomat said.
Both the U.S. and Russia recently announced that they would pull out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, which banned both countries from using short- and medium-range missiles. Russia was accused of violating the agreement but Moscow denied.
Last September, Vladimir Yermakov, the director of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Department, said that the INF treaty might collapse if the dilemma over the U.S. missile defense in Eastern Europe remains unresolved.

This course teaches research and writing beyond the classroom, based in a rhetoric of argument. Students learn to distinguish among types of ideas, including definitions, claims of fact or cause, evaluative critiques, and proposals. Students also learn to accommodate those ideas to various publics, that is, audiences that are not necessarily or immediately receptive to those ideas. The course places equal emphasis on students' analysis of the situations in which they write as experts and on their preparation, through careful research, of persuasive evidence in support of their arguments. Throughout the course, students review and practice principles for presenting ideas in a clear, readable style. Assignments include a variety of individual papers, a series of linked assignments addressing a topic within a student's professional expertise, resumes, and personal statements for professional and graduate school.
This course satisfies the professional writing requirement. For ENGL majors to receive major credit from this course, they will have to have already fulfilled the professional writing requirement with another course.
60 credits and completion of ENGL101 or equivalent.

A couple of big games hit the iTunes App Store this morning, including a port of a DS remake of a member of the hugely popular Final Fantasy series. It's not cheap, though, so if $16 is a little more than you're looking to spend for Final Fantasy III, check out the beautiful and haunting Sword & Sworcery for iPad or the simple and addictive Mr. Ninja. We've got all the details you need below.
Final Fantasy III (iPhone, iPad) $15.99
A classic role-playing game in one of the biggest series in video games, Final Fantasy III was first released in 1990. It features the series' first occurrence of its legendary job system and uses updated 3D graphics and a menu-based combat system in the old-school Japanese RPG style.
Final Fantasy III is an iOS port of the 2006 Nintendo DS version of the game. The port has Retina display compatibility and has been updated to support the iPhone's touchscreen and virtual controls. This version also has exclusive story cutscenes you won't see in other versions of Final Fantasy III.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP (iPad) $5.99
I've been hearing about the imminent release of Sword & Sworcery for a while now. The exploration adventure game has a heavy emphasis on its visual and audio style, featuring puzzles that work with music and an 8-bit look. As a wandering monk, you'll move through a mythical world filled with magic to complete the game's story.
Sword & Sworcery includes some integration with social media as well. You can interact with friends by Twitter to cooperate with one another and change your experience. The game is even effected by lunar phases. Sword & Sworcery is only available on the iPad for the moment, but is supposed to reach the iPhone next month.
Mr.Ninja (iPhone) $0.99
There are only two colors and some very simple graphics in Mr.Ninja, and it goes well with the game's simple but addictive gameplay. You've got just one control — tapping the screen launches your ninja through the air, from one spinning planet to the other. The idea is to move left to right through the 2D world by jumping from island to island. But your goal isn't just to get as far as you can: it's to kill monsters.
Between each planet are monsters generally positioned in a line. The idea is to launch your ninja straight at the monsters so he can slice them up. The more monsters you can blast through without missing any, the larger your "chain" becomes, leading to a higher score. Once you've got a respectable score, you can see how you measure up by checking out leaderboards care of Game Center.

As John Carlisle indicated in a post in 2011 on the Iroquois Mountain page, the Lakeshore Ski Club originally ran a ski operation called Mission Hill Ski Resort in the late '40s or early '50s. It was at or near the current Mission Hill Overlook location at the northwest corner of Monacle Lake, near the old cemetery which may be an Anishnabee cemetery.
I originally missed the implication of this comment, but on October 28, Mark Snider sent us a picture of an old ski patch from Mission Hill on our Facebook page.
On January 6, 1961, Mission Hill advertised in the Detroit Free Press (p39) that they had accommodations, a double chairlift, and lots of snow.
If you have any recollections of skiing at Mission Hill or have any information about when this area operated, please pass it along to us via the directions on the About MILSAP page.
