Travelers in Venice have been known to comment that the fragile, surrounding wonder of the place makes them feel like they're walking around inside a dream. The northeastern shore of America has a place that elicits the exact same feeling - a place William Sargent succinctly describes at the beginning of his book Shallow Waters:
On the East Coast of North America the flexed arm of New England juts far out into the open Atlantic Ocean. This is Cape Cod, famous for its beaches, its history, its seafaring way of life.
Despite the impression given by the crushing crowds of summer tourists, most Americans (to say nothing of most people on Earth) never get to see Cape Cod, and most of those who do visit (usually in the canned, overpriced chunk of Hell known as the week-long family vacation) never really get to know the place. Cape people are protective about their hugely-visited twist of land, so they'd probably have it no other way - but the place itself is yielding of its marvels, to the patient, to the observant, and to the lucky.
I've been lucky with the Cape: I've known it for years and years, from Sandwich to Orleans, from Falmouth to Truro, from the inlets of Buzzards Bay to the sedate streets of Harwich, and from the Great Beach to Provincetown. I've known it in all seasons, in all weathers, in all frames of mind, and - greatest luck of all - in some of the best company. I've prowled its used bookstores, stalked its tidal pools, sailed its coastlines, napped in some of its pretty little houses, rowed its marshes, and drank in its sunsets, and yet every time I've ever spent any time there, I've encountered as many new things as known things, because nobody can ever completely know Cape Cod. That's another part of its endless charm.
Those used bookstores are, naturally, jam-packed with books about the Cape - a year of Stevereads entries would only scratch the surface of that cottage industry - and it's this time of year that, wherever I am, I start taking them down from the shelf and re-reading them. Because there's a secret to the Cape that those thundering hordes of summer tourists don't know: the place is at its most glorious in the fortnight after Labor Day.
All its seasons have their splendors, of course: summer is gloriously sybaritic, spring is a patchwork of subtlety, winter (my own personal favorite) is full of sharp beauty ... but it's this time of year, the last lingering days of summer, that most accentuates the magic of the Cape. The crowds have mostly gone, and the natural world of the Cape briefly reasserts itself before the cramp of winter shuts things down. The days are still warm and bright, but the evenings have that first sweet foretaste of bite in them.
Almost all Cape Cod books tacitly acknowledge the fact that you have to know all the seasons to really appreciate the place; almost all of them dutifully take in all four seasons as they spin their stories and anecdotes. Probably the single best-known Cape Cod book is Henry Beston's The Outermost House, but I have three others in mind today, starting with the aforementioned William Sargent's fact-filled love letter to Pleasant Bay (which I once got to know quite well while based in a cozy little house full of nautical nick-knacks in Orleans), where he spent an endless stream of summers and blustery autumns. Sargent's book is the most scientific of our trio today, full of pleasantly-presented facts and figures about the Bay's natural world that our author knew so well. He straps on wetsuit and gear and glides in amongst it, often with fascinating results:
Stopping to rest on a sandspit that juts into the main channel, I stir up sediments to attract minnows out of the green depths. Now I am surrounded by a cloud of silversides and confronted by a friendly puffer fish (Spaeroides maculatus). As I reach out to scratch his belly, which will make him puff up and rise to the surface, I start to laugh at the ludicrous sight.
Suddenly, I have the distinct feeling that my foolish antics are being watched. I look up. Only inches from my faceplate is the snaggle-toothed grin of a shark. Granted, it is only a three-foot dogfish, but I beat a hasty retreat back to the shallow eelgrass beds.
Sargent's book was published in 1981. Twenty years earlier, that Cape Cod institution John Hay (whose books are all well worth hunting down at your local library) wrote his own year-long account of life on the Cape, Nature's Year, and although it's got a few too many windy-philosophizing sections for my tastes (as does The Outermost House, come to think of it), it's also got lots of careful, loving detail:
The U.S. Wildlife Refuge at Monomoy is on a long spit of barrier beach and marsh extending south from the town of Chatham ten miles into Nantucket Sound. It is wild, unadorned with tourist cabins, and so an undisturbed refuge and resting place for migratory birds. At first you find warblers, gnat-catchers, orioles, vireos, and other land birds, working silently through low oaks, pines, and stunted, salt-sprayed shrubbery. Then the marshland sweeps ahead with open ground, and curving inlets behind a long beach where the surf pounds endlessly, the sands inlaid with the debris of the sea - whelks, surf clams, or scallops.
But the single best book on Cape Cod was written before Hay. Readers of The Atlantic Monthly i the 1940s were regularly treated to colloquial, winsomely inviting essays written by Wyman Richardson about his cozy little Farm House on Nauset Marsh and the homely adventures he and his kith and kin had there over the course of many seasons. In 1947 those essays were collected into a book called The House at Nauset Marsh, and that book, too, is eminently worth your time to search out, especially if you yourself have never been lucky enough to get to know the Cape. It perfectly captures the tone and feel of a more hands-on less developed Cape that's now almost entirely faded under the pressure of modernization, and the spell it casts starts on the first page:
You can got to Eastham, on outer Cape Cod, and live in the little old Farm House at the drop of a hat. The pump, the kerosene lamps, and the open fire are always ready without fear of frost or storm. You can drive up the land, stop the car by the kitchen door, and unload your gear. You can look out the south windows over the nearby grassy hills, over the bright blue waters of Nauset Marsh to the darker blue glimpses of the sea beyond the dunes, and draw a deep breath.
Through natural history observations, family outings and mishaps, and even a little philosophizing (but always done with a refreshingly flinty Yankee sensibility), The House at Nauset Marsh draws you in and encourages you to take many of those deep breaths. Reading this book is the closest you can come to imbibing the salt-air relaxation of Cape Cod without actually being there. In fact, so deeply does the book work on you that its tired, happy ending will make you homesick for a place you've never been:
First one person and then another yawns, stretches, and departs for bed, until at last only the Old Man himself is left. Finally even he gets up from his chair, takes his last weather observation, checks up on the kitchen stove, and puts out the lamps. Being the last to go, he can enjoy the luxury of leisurely undressing before the warmth of the dying fire. By slowly turning around and around, he thoroughly toasts himself. At last, however, he can procrastinate no longer. He puts up the fire screens, dashes rapidly into his bedroom, and takes the desperate plunge between the ice-cold sheets.The nights are already arriving earlier, and soon the Cape will be almost empty of tourists. The waves will pound a little harder on the shores of Nauset Beach, and the humble creatures of Quanset Pond will dig deep into earth or lair and sleep the worst of the winter away, hoping for spring. I've walked the beaches around Provincetown and Longnook Beach and Megansett Harbor in the cold pit of winter, dogs going before and after me, the rime of salt ice on my face, and I've loved it. But still, there's a magic to this time right here - the Cape at summer's end - that no other season quite affords. A part of my heart goes there these days, no matter where I happen to be - and good books like these help with the rest.
Through the open living-room door, he can see the dancing lights and shadows and hear quiet sounds as the fire burns down. From the pantry comes a barely audible scratching, indicating that the pantry mouse is busily engaged in finding himself some supper. Outside, there is a slight rustling as the breeze stirs the cedars, while the sudden barking of a dog suggests that Mr. Fox is bothering someone's chickens.
Rest now, little Farm House. Your flock is safely in bed and sound asleep. Thank you for the wonderfully good times you have given us.
Good night.

Obama to meet with Abe, Hollande, Xi at G-20
WASHINGTON—President Obama will meet on the sidelines of the G-20 summit with France's President Francois Hollande, China's President Xi Jinping and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, according to a White House official.
The official, who asked not to be identified because the president's schedule for the summit has yet to be released, told USA TODAY there are currently no plans for Obama to have a formal bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but expects the two presidents could have an opportunity to speak on the margins of the various meetings during the summit.
Obama had planned to visit Putin in Moscow for meetings ahead of the G-20, which will be held on Thursday and Friday in St. Petersburg, Russia, but canceled the Moscow trip last month, following a string of disputes, including Russia's decision to grant asylum to former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and its blocking of action by the United Nations Security Council against Syria.
One objective for Obama's time at the G-20, which will focus on global economic issues, is to round up support from the international community for military action against Syria.
Obama announced on Saturday that he was seeking congressional authorization for the strike, but he would also like to gain at least moral support—if not military backing—from other countries.
Last week, Hollande announced that France would back military action in Syria.
On Monday, China urged Obama not to take unilateral action against Syria in response to last month's chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of Damascus, which killed more than 1,400.
Obama and Xi met in June for two days of wide-ranging talks in Palm Springs, Calif., which was billed as a relationship building moment for the two presidents.
Obama and Abe spoke by phone on Tuesday and Syria was among the topics they discussed, according to a White House statement

Elementary and Secondary Education Act
First signed into law in 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, known as the No Child Left Behind Act, is the primary public education law which originated with President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty. The intent of ESEA was to close the achievement gap between children who live in poverty and their more advantaged peers.
In 2001, President Bush signed into law bi-partisan legislation to amend ESEA, which became known as the No Child Left Behind Act. NCLB contained sweeping changes including the creation of a new accountability system and defining highly qualified teacher, among many other issues.
In 2007, CEC unveiled recommendations to improve ESEA/NCLB in preparation the law's reauthorization. In 2010, CEC updated its recommendations to address critical issues such as teacher quality, strengthening assessment and accountability systems, positive school reform, teacher evaluation systems and charter schools. Although Congress was due to revise ESEA/NCLB in 2007, the legislative process is still ongoing.
In response to Congress's delay in reauthorizing ESEA/NCLB, in 2011-2012 the U.S. Department of Education, under the leadership of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, issued waivers to relieve states and school districts from many of ESEA/NCLB's most controversial requirements in exchange for adopting certain education reforms, such as adopting college and career ready standards. The implementation of the waivers will undoubtedly impact ESEA/NCLB reauthorization, which is currently working its way through the legislative process.
ESEA Reauthorization News: Here you will find the latest information about ESEA reauthorization including action taken by Congress and the U.S. Department of Education, including information about waivers.
CEC's Recommendations to Improve ESEA: Here you will find CEC's recommendations for ESEA reauthorization including topics such as teacher quality and evaluation, assessment and accountability systems, gifted education, restraint and seclusion, coordination with IDEA and much more.

Italy: Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Program type: Tuition Exchange
University Overview
The Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore was founded in Milan on December 7, 1921, by Father Agostino Gemelli. The university's first courses in Philosophy and Social Sciences were held in the historic building located in via S. Agnese. These first courses, like all the courses that have followed, were inspired by Gemelli's desire to promote cultural growth while fostering human and spiritual development. Since its founding, the university has become a central point of reference for the Milanese intellectual community. In 1968 approximately 30,000 students were registered at the university. This figure helps to illustrate how the Università Cattolica had developed into an important academic community, divided into 8 faculties: Economics, Law, Languages and Literature, Educational Science, Banking, Finance and Insurance Sciences, Political Science and Psychology.
Program Overview
The International Office provides a two-day orientation at the beginning of each semester. Academic counseling is available in each academic department.

Not really a course anymore. There are 5 baskets left, no tees, and a few signs that only confuse you. If you live near by it would work great to practice. But not worth the gas if you need to travel more than 15min to get there.

Dear Abby: I am a professional driver. Please allow me to offer some advice to everyone I share the road with:
� Please do not honk or display obscene gestures because I am driving the speed limit. It's not my fault that you're late.
� Please don't pass me on the right, using the curb lane, parking lane, bike lane or sidewalk. It's dangerous for me, for you and for anyone in those lanes legally.
� Please obey the stop signs, stoplights, yield signs and other signs on the road. They're there to protect people.
� Please put down that breakfast sandwich, cup of coffee, lunch or dinner. If you're that hungry, pull over to eat.
� Please turn off your cellphones while driving. Whatever it is, it can wait. And if it can't, you have no business being behind the wheel.
� If you must discipline your children, please pull over to do it. I have seen drivers wrap their vehicles around trees and lampposts because they had turned around to talk to their child.
I drive more than 1,000 miles a week, and I see more accidents than most will in a lifetime. Many of them could have been avoided simply by paying attention to the road. If you choose to ignore this advice, I can pretty much guarantee that you will injure, or possibly kill, someone eventually. If my letter prevents just one fatality, then it was well worth the time it took to write it. - Milwaukee Mile Man
Dear Mile Man: Thank you for taking the time to write. As a driver and a passenger, I have seen some frightening near-misses because drivers chose to ignore speed limits and run stop signs and stoplights. Usually the infractions are caused less because of thoughtlessness than by rudeness and an attitude that the rules of the road apply to everyone else
Dear Abby: Why do some people think it's acceptable to tuck in the tag on my shirt? It's bad enough when my mother does it, but I have had acquaintances and strangers do it without asking. I said something the last time it happened, and the woman had the gall to take offense! All I said was, "Please don't!" - Please Don't in Texas
Dear Please Don't: I'm sure there are various reasons why people try to tuck in an errant tag from a stranger's clothing. I suspect they range from attempting to be helpful, to impulsiveness to compulsive behavior. However, because what the woman did made you uncomfortable, you were right to tell her that you didn't like it.
Confidential to my readers: If you are partying tonight to celebrate the arrival of the new year, please don't drink and drive. Make sure you have a designated driver. I wish you all a happy, healthy, prosperous 2013! - Love, Abby
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Global Education Digest
Download: English
The 2010 edition of the Global Education Digest focuses on gender and education to mark the 15th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women. Shortly after this landmark conference in 1995, the international community pledged to eliminate gender disparities at all levels of education by 2015 as part of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). As the official source of data to monitor advancement towards these goals, the UIS has released the Digest on the eve of the UN Millennium Summit (New York, 20-22 September) to present the latest available data to analyse national progress and pitfalls in offering every child and young person equal access to education regardless of their sex.

Article By: Chicago Blackhawks
In conjunction with the National Hockey League, the Chicago Blackhawks announced today their 2013-14 regular-season schedule. The organization's 86th regular season launches when the club hosts the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at the United Center, marking the first time since 2005-06 that the Blackhawks begin the season on home ice. The Blackhawks will honor their 2013 Stanley Cup Championship at the home opener, with more details to be made available at a later date.
Beginning this season, Blackhawks evening games at the United Center will move to 7:00 p.m. start times. Select games may begin earlier or later due to national television broadcasts.
Twenty-four of the team's 41 home contests will take place on weekends, including seven Fridays, five Saturdays and 12 Sundays. Six of the team's first eight games will be played at the United Center and the Blackhawks host a season-high, four-game homestand on two separate occasions (Jan. 12-19 and March 19-25).
The Blackhawks open their 41-game road slate on Wednesday, Oct. 9 when they travel to St. Louis to square off against the St. Louis Blues. Chicago's longest road trips of the season include two seven-game swings from Nov. 19-30 and Jan.28-Feb. 27. The team's second seven-game road trip will be broken up by the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, which take place from Feb. 7-23 in Sochi, Russia.
Under the NHL's realignment and new schedule format, the Blackhawks will play the other six teams within their division for a total of 29 games. Chicago will play five games each against Colorado (three home/two away), Dallas (two home/three away), Minnesota (two home/three away), Nashville (two home/three away) and St. Louis (three home/two away), while facing Winnipeg four times (two home/two away).
Chicago will play the remaining seven Western Conference teams three times each for a total of 21 games. The Blackhawks will host two games against Anaheim, Edmonton, Los Angeles and San Jose, while traveling to each of those cities for one contest. The team will play one home game against Calgary, Phoenix and Vancouver, and will play two road contests against each of those clubs.
The Blackhawks will meet each Eastern Conference team once at home and once on the road for a total of 32 out-of-conference games.
For the sixth consecutive season, all 82 Chicago Blackhawks games will be televised in HD on Comcast SportsNet Chicago and WGN-TV, the official television broadcasting partners of the Blackhawks, with Pat Foley and Eddie Olczyk providing the call. Every game in 2013-14 can also be heard on Chicago's WGN Radio 720, with John Wiedeman and Troy Murray calling the action. The complete television broadcast schedule will be released at a later date.
Additionally, the team announced its six-game preseason schedule, which includes three home contests (Sept. 17 vs. DET, Sept. 19 vs. PIT and Sept. 28 vs. WSH) as well as three road games (Sept. 20 at WSH, Sept. 22 at DET and Sept. 23 at PIT).
Information about group tickets for Blackhawks pre- and regular-season games is available by calling (312) 455-7000. Tickets for single games will be available at a later date.

Three years ago, almost to the day, I was in Nepal. I had traveled there from China, where I'd been visiting Heifer projects, and was supposed to have stopped in Tibet but sadly, I couldn't get a visa from the Chinese overlords and ended up with five extra days in Kathmandu. To say Kathmandu is an overload for the senses in a vast understatement, particularly since I'd been used to staying in the rural countryside where Heifer projects abound, (and you can't buy much besides food or hay). But in Kathmandu, there is no end to all the things you could possibly wish to purchase.So I walked the endless, crazy streets pockmarked with construction and packed with shops and people….
…and tried to drink in everything around me.It wasn't until I got to the countryside, though, that I felt as if I were really experiencing Nepal. Just getting there was fairly arduous as the steepness of the terrain and vastness of the Himalayas quickly overtake you.
It's almost impossible to imagine people trying to farm here, and yet they do.
With a grace, spirit and resilience that is something to behold.
Yesterday, Nepal was hit by the worst earthquake in almost 80 years, with 3,700 already known dead — and I'm beyond worried about the people I met in these villages and in Kathmandu, all the Heifer Nepalese folks working in these projects, and the animals themselves, who live in even more precariously built structures than the farmers.
I know we are going to hear a lot about the 17 western climbers who perished on Everest, but I'd like to leave you with some photos of the people of Nepal who are at the heart of this crisis.
And here is where you can give if you're so moved: Heifer Nepal Rehabilitation Fund.

Heritage Is King at Turner County Fair
Even before statehood, there was the Turner County Fair. In 1880, people gathered to revel in the bounty that their land produced and the annual celebration continues. The event is over for this year, though more than a few folks are making plans for the 2014 installment. Bear in mind that South Dakota didn't become a state until 1889.
There is a nod to time standing still at the fairgrounds in Parker. A one-room school house was moved to the grounds in the 1960's to remind fair goers of the rural roots.
Modern elements bridge the gap to the present age with brand new agricultural equipment on display. Animal exhibits are plentiful and easily accessible complete with numerous hand washing stations.
With the close proximity to Sioux Falls the Turner County Fair draws a great deal of city folk from the northeast. While enjoying a lunch, a remark from a Viborg man rang clear. "Volunteers make (the Turner County) fair happen. And there's a lot of old people who volunteer. I just hope the younger folks are ready to take over when it's their time." A pointed comment, but one that's probably been echoed more than once over the previous 132 editions of the Turner County Fair. It's a safe bet that the younger generation will step into those well-worn work boots and continue the success.

The future of Smallholding in many counties of Britain is under a great deal of scrutiny and many would say it is an industry opportunity that is being decimated by tenancy Smallholdings and farms being sold off to developers or anything less than 10 acres with a modest house in any rural county finds itself marketed as a desirable residence only or second home.
The rising number of people wishing to engage with a smallholding practice and agri-business outweighs supply, with some counties having no desire, nor interest in offering county owned tenancy smallholdings. The issue on closer inspection is going to have a catastrophic effect on nationally grown and produced "local food". Food with better ecological resilience & credentials, provenance ; and offers a broader range of sustainable businesses in the sector.
So, what can be done for the short and long term success of the British Isles rural food and farming sectors?
Almost every farm has something it could be doing to diversify..
There have been many articles written and infinitely more conversations had over the metaphorical farm gate that Farmers and Landowners should look at their farm as a collection of revenue generating opportunities, rather than as a whole, when looking to diversify their income, farmers often concentrate on the part of the business which interested them most when there could be a better opportunity for investment and a return.
It is far too easy to suggest that those with properties on the fringes of towns and cities would only consider one of two options: Selling to a developer or renewable energy initiative. Despite a still-faltering residential market in many areas, there is strong demand for smallholdings with anything up to 50 acres. The issue is common sight around the small Peakland town I call home. There has been a community outcry and a Borough & County Council issue over two sites acquired by a land brokerage company. Both these sites would easily offer excellent Smallholding opportunities to both mixed and forestry agri-business. Since the issue of the two debated building sites are still being fought from each side of the equation since 2012; I believe in the time it has been rapped up in laborious and undemocratic paper shuffling both sites could have become very healthy Smallholding enterprise sites by now. Both would have managed the land better than adding c.250 new executive homes over two sites to an already stretched community, made much more of a positive ecological impact to the land and with suggested tree planting secured the soil and potential flood issues in winter.
In addition, a site in North Yorkshire agreed the sale of three holdings for 12-acre, 19-acre and 20-acre holdings around Thirsk and 40 acres in the Walden region of Wensleydale. Buyers are diverse – the prospective owner of the Wensleydale holding is retired professor of science who wished to build a home on the site and use it as a private green field estate.
With the growing number of enquires and an increase in people wishing to spend an excess of £1m for a plot of farm land, this has driven up the cost of an acre and as a consequence made tenancy farming in my county less attractive. Is some areas of the country £12,000/acre is quiet the norm.
Increasing land prices for "Grand Designs" are pushing up the value of land and pushing out the opportunities of a smallholding, exacerbating the cost of any start up to be out of the reach of anyone in the market for a tenancy smallholding.
So why would they not consider being more of a pioneer or part of the community which they play such a huge part in and address the balance of land availability? The much easier planning laws linked to rural and farming properties offers a much more versatile way, but certainly not unique to this country. Why not develop a site for a start-up smallholder, this tenancy would be regular income through rental and with some land owners in more southern counties accepting this as a much more viable option for many crumbling buildings, barns and semi derelict buildings, many rural business incubation centres and smallholdings; Smallholder co-ops [ such as the successful enterprise in Essex – The Ecological Land Co-Op ], forestry, tourism and community farms have grown in some areas, only to be shunned in others.
Many of these tried and tested methods offer an excellent way to free up cash to invest in the farm. Farm diversification was recorded to be worth £560million in 2016, and having worked in and with the agri-sector, mainly from the view of a photographer for many years; I do however, have experience working with local mixed farms. Notwithstanding having hill farming in my family for a number of generations, it stands to reason that I agree that I am yet to visit a farm that does not have something it could be doing to diversify.
I understand that the core business of any farm or agricultural estate is the most essential part of the business, therefore the enhancements of any value to its assets is often considered only by impact, any further development or restoration; re-use or re-purposing land / property may have a debatable effect on the core activity of farming.
I have spent the past 3 yrs speaking to farming communities in the north of England and they agree and enforce that if any diversification is governed by desire to enhance their land and the community, it will only enhance their enterprise with income and investment for there own future expansion plans.
Traditionally Multi-genrational Farms often need to ensure ownership and efficiently managed before going down the route of diversification or land & property leasing, however with growing fragility in the industry and types of land that is no good for one use is potentially good for another – this is where I stand in this debate.
What is there to offer Farmers and large Estate Owners who are able to offer a modest home and >10 acres to a growing number of start up smallholders on their land, who will add to the estate rather than compete with the land owner?
Co-Op'ed sites are popping up across Europe and even a couple are gathering momentum in the South East of England, so what will it take to engage with the larger county wide farms and estates, who are very much missing out on an ecological and sustainable business boom?
Initial examples that have been staring in the press recently have been:
For many this is far less attractive and viable, yet with a little imagination and further understanding of just how much forestry has been traditionally part of the industry and how it has been enjoying a renaissance, much more than that of the industrial revolution. Biomass is one sure fire way of utilising poor value timber and commercial forest waste. With recent news of Willow plantations and borders becoming grant attracting diversification methods, where applicable, it is driving up the abilities of using UK grown fuel for industry and housing. Not forgetting the current Gov. grants for felling and replanting of indigenous broadleaf and evergreen trees to offer a chance to make a positive return on assets ad bring woodland management back into productivity.
With construction still being the largest market for timber, UK softwood has increased in value to approx. £44/cu.meter, enjoying a 13% increase on the year. Plus, the UK Timber production is still increasing its numbers and since 2007 has sold a further 1.2million cu. meters. Much of this is down to un-grazable or unfit land for arable crops to be put aside for Forestry.
There is also the production of indigenous fruit to the UK, Apple Orchards are lost or in a decayed state, other fruiting trees that have a value and high survival rate in our climate not only increase the revenue but add to many biodiverse habitats for pollinating insects and ultimately bees and the plight of the British Honey Bee come into the equation.
Tourism and Diversification
Traditional tourism ventures on farms are mainly focused on holiday cottages and farm shops, but many have recently looked to make use of their farm's unique characteristics in more innovative ways. Examples such as Wedding venues, Music Festival sites, Outdoor pursuit centres, Micro Breweries / Cider Farms and and the incredible successes of supporting the community at the growing number of Farming Life Centres. Locally, we have seen over the past five years an up surge in successful rural events, such as the now world renowned Eroica Britannia vintage cycle festival. In the first few years it was staged and held at the Bakewell Show Ground, this year it is to be held at a sprawling farm in the south west heartland of the Derbyshire Dales. I have recently been asked if I know of anyone in the Peak District with a Barn that they wish to have repurposed into a Recording Studio for a record label based in Manchester.
Tourism-based diversification has grant funding available through the Rural Development Programme for England's growth programme. However, Grants are locally led and have local priorities which differ throughout the country. This has highlighted the areas of the UK, region by region, that offer unique attributes and the individuals running the sites; it has by process ruled out those who are just after funding to develop an old building, however, it does not protect our rural business sectors from larger agriculturally viable plats being used as multi million "dream home" concepts or poorly designed estates of commuter homes.
Barns and traditional buildings
With relaxed planning laws on rights to convert agricultural buildings (GPDO – 2014), they have effectively permitted conversions of unused farm buildings into dwellings and commercial use property. Granted these do not apply in SONB or National Parks, but with the recent increase in sq. m. allowances in January 2017, it now enables many unused, unloved or unaffordable buildings to see a new lease life for generations to come.
All these options have one underlying opportunity to the thousands of people seeking a career change, expansion or start-up enterprise to call home as much as there place of business. Sustainable, with ecological credentials, viable and offering something new to the area. Ultimately producing hyper-local food for a growing and demanding population and sites of rural and farming business incubation, creating sites that attract SMEs and Micro Business with specialisms in this sector and encourage future generations to consider this as a viable career future.
If there was a magic wand to waive in the county of Derbyshire it would be used to highlight the issues of vacant and unused land that could be utilised and managed well, with bio-diversity and ecological methods at the very forefront of its use, property that could be best used to develop much needed affordable tenancy smallholdings for families who wish to develop their own agri-business.
The need to live and work in the countryside should not become the reserve of the economically well off, nor should it be wasted on linear building projects to benefit the few.
Our search continues.

ZANATTA, Loris. The rise and fall of the third position: Bolivia, Perón and the Cold War, 1943-1954.Traduzido porJudith Evans. Desarro. econ. (B. Aires) [online]. 2006, vol.1Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0046-001X.
The doctrine of the Third Position drawn by Peron between 1946 and 1955 was an attempt to find an alternative to the opposition between the Liberal West and the Communist East. In practical terms, it resulted in the project to create a bloc of Latin-American nations independent both from Washington and from Moscow. Peron's project interpreted the region's peaking nationalist feelings and amounted to a challenge on the United States in the toughest phase of the Cold War. However, the Third Position soon revealed the limitations -economic weakness, diplomatic dilettantism- that led to its demise and sub-ordination to the iron logic of the Cold War. This article examines one of those limitations, scarcely explored by the literature: the hegemonic, even sub-imperialist aspect that the Third Position assumed in the eyes of Argentina's neighboring countries. This trait would eventually induce those countries to seek the protection of a strong and distant Empire, the United States, before submitting to the ambitions of a weaker, closer power, Peron's Argentina. This article reconstructs such political dynamics drawing on the competition between Washington and Peron for the control of Bolivia between 1943 and 1955 as an example.

Randy Seaver, at Genea-Musings wants to take us Time Traveling and asks us to, "Decide what year and what place you would love to visit as a time traveller. Who would you like to see in their environment? If you could ask them one question, what would it be?"
These questions made me ponder so many possibilities in my family history.
I would so love to go to Canada in 1891 to find out why my great-great-grandmother, Jane [SWINTON] RITCHIE left her children with her brother-in-law, Alexander and herself returned to Scotland. Actually, I'd like to figure out WHEN she returned to Scotland!
Or possibly I would want to go to Germany, in 1866 when it really wasn't "Germany" yet as we know it today but rather to the duchy of Mecklenburg-Stelitz and find out exactly what it was that prompted William EICKELBERG to bring his young family to Pomeroy, Ohio - to a country that was just emerging from a civil war. Did they know people there? Where were they between their arrival and when I can first find them in the 1880 census? And most of all, WHO is the young girl, Anna, listed in 1880 as a granddaughter at 1yr old who I can never find again?
But no, the winner of the Time Travel contest has to be this:
The year is 1909 and the place is Broomfield, Colorado. I would like to see what life was like out on a farm for a young girl of 18, Anna Gertrude NISSEN. Without her mother, who had died when she was 9, did she have any female to share whispered confidences with when her father wasn't around? Did she long to go into the big city of Denver? Most importantly, Who else knew that she was going to run off with Herbert EVANS to Shoshone, Idaho to be married?
So, great-grandmother, Gertrude, my question to you is, "Who was this Herbert EVANS?" I think he might have been the same Herbert Evans, a 20 years old boarder and a railroad laborer in the 1900 census of Weld Co, Colorado. That would make him about 10/11 years older than Gertrude, which fits with other facts I've found.
I'm breaking Randy's rules a little bit, but I don't want to ask ONE question. I want the whole story of this romance that ended with a pregnant Gertrude and her 2 year old son, Harold, returning from Portland, Oregon to her father's home in Broomfield, Colorado where her daughter, my grandmother, Ruth Penrose EVANS was born on 29 Sept 1912.

Grizzly Bear
edited July 2010 in Audible
i was suprised i didn't find a thread about them. I like their hot licks! especially marla, and ready able.
I'm seeing them tonight!
no way! thats tight. wanna trade places for a night. i got corpse bride from the library.
no waaaaaaaaaaay. they came earlier this year and tix sold out faster than fast so I was like AWW SMUCKS, but then they came back again because they love sydney clearly  yes, they're ticks sell very well here, they have five shows in the last 6 months and all have sold-out within a month. it's a beautiful thang.
Love Grizzly Bear! They have beautiful harmonies. I've never seen them live though. I could have, but didn't have a job at the time. But last night during two bands setting up at the OTBS fest Two Weeks played and I sang along. It was fun. oo, Here We Go Magic and Kid Sam will be at your gig tonight too. Fav songs could be.. Ready, Able , Marla, WYWFTO, Knife... I also really love the Department of Eagles work too.
I can't live without grizzly bear. They need a new album...NOW!! _<;" title="stressed" />
I'll tell you if they play any new stuff tonight
I love Grizzly Bear. Did anyone else pronounce Veckatimest totally wrong at some point?
What do you mean totally wrong?
I still dont know how to pronounce it .
I always think of it as vascetimist (sp? thats um...phonetical there). Like...you know... .....
HOLY SHIT THEY WERE GOOD. like dayum brother, that was amazing. they had all these lights in jars hanging round the stage that looked really pretty, and their bassist played a flute, clarinet and bari sax at different points. SO GOOD.
Sounds really nice. How big was the venue? When they played in Perth last year it was in a really small venue that would only fit maybe around 300 people. And how was the support acts, I know stupid question, and I've only heard a song by each buy I'm still interested to hear. hahaha. EDIT: I am really stupid - about Shinsy's post. I get what you mean now. I thought you meant pronounce in a different way. I pronounce it like 'vec-at-tim-mist'.. is that right?
[quote="we tigers"]I always think of it as vascetimist (sp? thats um...phonetical there). Like...you know... .....[/quote] I lol'd. And yeah that's right, curses!
NEW GB ALBUM THIS YEAR AAAHHHHHHH I follow Ed on twitter and he said the other day they were mixing the last track. hopefully it leaks before the release...or they at least put out a single !
No leaks! Leaks are sad! They should put a single though. Can't waaaaaait!
Grizzly Bear is one the bands on my "must get" list. I think I'll start with Yellow House.
thats a great place to start
I started with Yellow House too, but hopefully they can find another way to seperate themselves yet again from a lot of other mellowish Indie artists.
I think their sound is very divisive for the average mellow indie band, mostly Veckatimest. Their harmonic ability rivals Panda Bear in my book and Daniel Rossen's guitar/bango playing is very distinct. Grizzly Bear's one of those bands you can't mistake for another (except Department of Eagles, ehehehehe).
You are right, we kinda have the same point, I can tell Gizzly Bear apart from a lot of other bands, and I think they need to make an album with a little more power, like Fleet Foxes "Helplessness Blues".
Oh yeah, I totally agree. I mean, I love their mellowness, but it took me forever to get into their music because everything cool about the album except for Southern Point and Two Weeks is hidden from view. I think they need to do an album like Department of Eagles did, just busting down walls with banjo bliss and shit. We'll so what they do though, I'm sure we'll be salivating over it.
We can only hope!
grizzly BORE! eyah! they really should do some sorta BEAR musical festival with grizzly, panda, bear in heaven, bearsuit etc (a million others! AND OTTERS!) and only big hairy men are allowed in!
Minus the Bear is another one
bear in mind... we are unkind! grizzly bear... underwear!
http://www.npr.org/2012/09/09/160672368/first-listen-grizzly-bear-shields#playlist Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaah
KEVIN shields!
Kevin shields > other shields
naw! BROOKE is better!
sometimes... brooke is BETTAH
in case of bear attack, smack that fucker on the nose. or lovingly offer him homemade baked goods which to choose? not much to lose except limbs and body parts.
Bear vs shark
[img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma7uf3xHo01rql2h0o1_500.png[/img] that bear could attack me any day. with hugs. [size=1]and claws[/size]
k so shields yay or nay? Whats the verdict? What do YOU think? Now that you've heard it (a bunch of times) (i assume) I'm really digging a Simple Answer and gun-shy atm
Vecktimest has a place in my heart that Yellow House and Shields never will, but I like Shields a lot. Speak in Rounds is my favourite right now.
Shields is seriously rocking my musical world right now. It's hitting me just right. Every song, even the lull in the middle of the album people talk about not liking as much, seems absolutely magical to me at this moment in time. I think I'm going to go see them next month, so I'm also very excited about that. Using the money from the AC ticket I had to sell (HUGE BUMMER!) to fund Grizby tix.
Grizby! ha!
mcgrizzles! monsters of the griz iron!

Consensus Report
A Review of Genwest's Final Report on Effective Daily Recovery Capacity (EDRC): A Letter Report (2013)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Produced at the request of the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), this letter report reviews a report by Genwest Systems, Inc., that presents a new approach for estimating the efficiency of oil skimmers when preparing oil spill response plans. The National Research Council committee found the new approach -- called the Estimated Recovery System Potential (ERSP) -- to be sound and a good basis for updating the way BSEE sets planning standards for response to offshore oil spill events. ERSP is a substantial improvement over the current method, Effective Daily Recovery Capacity, because the new approach reflects the full recovery cycle associated with on-water oil spill skimming systems. However, a number of simple improvements that would be extremely useful can and should be made to the ERSP approach.
Key Messages
- BSEE should provide a "User Manual" that documents the limitations of use of the ERSP approach and provides guidance to the user for choosing input values in accordance with different planning scenarios. The User Manual should provide the ERSP calculator's equations along with a clear definition of variables and their units of measurement. It should also explain the rationale for the assumptions used in the calculator and discuss the uncertainties associated with all fixed and input parameters.
- The ERSP calculator should carry parameter uncertainties forward to provide estimates of uncertainties in the outputs. This would provide more informative results for evaluating response plans.
- The utility of the new ERSP estimation could be significantly increased if the user is allowed to select values from a set of planning scenarios provided by BSEE in the User Manual. For example, the user could choose among options for entering estimates of oil thickness. The nameplate recovery capacity in the scenarios could be based on ASTM F2709-08, Standard Test Method for Determining Nameplate Recovery Rate of Stationary Oil Skimmer Systems, instead of the derated nameplate recovery capacity.
- Given that environmental conditions may limit the effectiveness of oil skimmers, the best overall approach would be a "system of systems" plan in which mechanical oil skimmers are evaluated as one of a set of "tools" that could be used in spill response.

Dear SEC:
I am writing in regard to two issues: the final Rule 506 regarding general solicitation, and proposed rules to expand the scope of Regulation D and Form D. Specifically, I am seeking clarification of the facts and circumstances that would reasonably establish that an investor is accredited. I also respectfully request the Commission withdraw its proposed amendments to Regulation D and Form D, as these requirements would paralyze angel investing and virtually shut small issuers out of the capital markets.
Angel investors form the backbone of the startup economy. Collectively, our members in our community have funded numerous deals in start-ups and early-stage companies. Many of these companies have gone on to raise additional capital and continue to positively impact the economy.
I recognize that the JOBS Act required issuers to take reasonable steps to verify that investors are accredited when relying on Rule 506(c). However, reasonable steps should not include disclosure of personal financial information by angel investors already well-versed in the startup economy. Active angel investors are both accredited investors and knowledgeable about the risks of angel investing. This combination of fact and circumstances provides richer validation than the check-the-box method prohibited by Congress.
Angel group members work closely with entrepreneurs over long periods (often years) to provide essential mentorship capital and support in addition to financial backing. If angels are required to navigate cumbersome and costly requirements to provide private financial data to every startup in which we invest, we will go elsewhere. Angels invest our own funds we are not hedge funds or private equity managers which have extensive infrastructure already in place to help determine whether a limited
partnership investment is suitable for a potential accredited investor.
I respectfully request the Commission take two actions: Withdraw the proposed rules and, provide guidance in regard to Rule 506(c), to the following effect:
If an issuer verifies that a purchaser is a member of an established angel group or is otherwise actively engaged in the startup community and also provides written representation that he or she is an accredited investor, the issuer will have met the verification requirement of Rule 506(c).

Sorry for the late post, y'all. I was having a hard time recovering from the stomach-punch that was the Knick loss to the Celtics last night. Blowing a 20 point lead in a preseason game to those bastard Boston Celtics does that to me sometimes. I take solace, however, in knowing that this was probably the most pointless game of the season. Below are some rambling notes:
- The Knicks rested Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Amar'e Stoudemire. Melo and Tyson didn't play because Woodson simply wanted to give them rest and avoid the preseason back-to-back (What's that about anyway?) while STAT's issues are a bit more serious. Get better, big fella.
- Disappointing night from Jason Kidd, who continued giving the team absolutely nothing. Wait, what? He didn't play either? I didn't notice. I'm sure he was veteran-leadershipping (Veteran-Leadershipping is the newest option offered by UPS. It's a tad more expensive, and involves Jason Kidd delivering the package to your house. Instead of leaving it at the door, however, Kidd throws the package through your window and drives the UPS truck into your house.) the young guys from the bench.
- And how bout' those young guys?!? Well, not much actually. With the exception to Chris Copelandofthelost, the various players gunning for a roster spot played pretty poorly. Copeland, who Clyde referred to as "The Boston Strangler", had 34 points and 6 rebounds on 11-18 shooting including 3-4 from downtown. It was pretty neat.
- As for the rest: Mychael Thompson played 38 minutes, shot 3-11 and was absolutely murdered by Jeff Green on this block. Henry Sims played 18 hard minutes, banging down low and picking up a lot of fouls. James White led all players in minutes (45), airballs (infinite), and steals (5). White seems like he can get to the rim with ease, but finishing, especially with his left hand, is a struggle. However, with the Knicks shooting guard situation as cataclysmic as it is now because of all the injuries, White may have to play a role early in the season.
- Oscar Bellfield (whom I refer to as Belly-field) was an impressive -7 in just 10 minutes. John Shurna didn't do much better, amassing a -9 rating in just 13 minutes. Yeap, they aren't very good.
- ¡PABLOCURA!, on the other hand, was especially ¡PABLOCURA!-y. He kept feeding the beast that was Copeland (smart man) and picked up 9 assists. Prigs still can't really shoot, (0-6 from 3) but I still love him the same. Oh, and I almost forgot: Jason Terry wasn't please with the way Prigs fouled to stop an easy basket and had some words for the ¡PABLOCURA! himself. Pablo, being the better man, responded in what I would assume was a brilliant and eloquent comeback, and walked away. You don't mess with the ¡PABLOCURA!, Jason.
- Novak shot some threes, made some threes, ran the floor in an uncoordinated manner, and tried to defend Sullinger on certain post possessions again. That wasn't too fun.
My overall takeaway from this game was that there was no takeaway. As I wrote earlier, this was the most pointless game the Knicks will play all year. It showed what would happen if Chris Copeland was the feature player on a team that went up against Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger playing heavy minutes. I pray to the basketball gods that Chris Copeland is at no point the feature player on the Knicks. Other than that, everything was like old times. The Knicks totally got screwed by the refs down the stretch and blew a large lead to the Celtics, and the sun set in the west.
That's all for now. The season is now a mere 11 days away.

About VidekVidek was founded in 1978, just 2 years after Apple was incorporated.
Our core business then was selling cables and accessories for the emerging era of the home & business computer.
We quickly established ourselves as the forerunner in the industry supporting every format and design within this new and ever changing world of information technology.
The business computer market was also growing exponentially, so to meet this demand we established our own manufacturing plant in the UK able to offer 24 hour delivery, and created strong links with well known IT manufacturing brands expanding our product base to include Network Systems and Solutions.
Where are we today?The industry brand names have mostly changed…Apple survived
We still have some manufacturing in the UK, which now supports our main overseas production facilities.
Videk have remained constant throughout this technological revolution, our core business is the same nearly 40 years on
We have remained totally independent with our founder and CEO still actively involved in the business. Our Managing Director has shared the adventure since 1982, along with many of the original Videk team often referred to as 'the Videk family' having joined the company in the 80's and 90's.
We pride ourselves on our knowledge, our service, our customer care, our attention to detail and our desire to remain the UK's premier supplier of computer cabling and network solutions.

hi gradbert, I am looking forward to trying your LCD library but your site is not responding.
gradbert: cool. I actually did something similar (see: http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/arduino/trunk/hardware/cores/arduino/), but you've got some nice improvements. I like the name Printable better than Print, which is what I used. Also, did you get this to work on the Arduino? I had trouble getting virtual functions to compile, so I hacked together my own version.
will this work with serial-enabled LCDs?
It will support both 4 and 8 bit modes (though is there any reason you'd want to use the 8-bit one?).
I have a library for an LCD driven by Software Serial. The command codes are for a PH Anderon controller chip, but they would be trivially easy to edit.http://www.wulfden.org/downloads/code/arduino/SWSerialLCDPHA_Lib.zipcheers ... BBR

RENO – Friends, family and political colleagues gathered today to honor and pay tribute to the first woman to serve in Congress from Nevada, the now 91-year-old Barbara Vucanovich.
About 250 guests gathered at Rancharrah for the celebratory dinner, which not coincidentally raised a healthy sum for Republican candidates in the November general election.
Two successors in the 2nd Congressional District, U.S. Sen. Dean Heller and current Rep. Mark Amodei, joined in honoring Vucanovich, who was working for then-U.S. Sen. Paul Laxalt in 1982 when he urged her to run for the newly created seat.
Vucanovich, 61 at the time, rose to the challenge and won the seat, serving for seven terms. She became good friends with President Ronald Reagan and other influential political leaders during her 14 years in office.
Heller, wearing one of Vucanovich's old campaign buttons, said he first met her when he was visiting Washington, DC, more than 20 years ago. Heller called her office on the spur of the moment and Vucanovich offered to take him to lunch at the Congressional dining hall even though she did not know him.
"To this day, when people come out to Washington, DC, I take every opportunity, every chance that I can, to take them to the Congressional dining room, or the Senate's dining room, and I tell them every time, the reason I'm doing this was because the first time I came to Washington, DC, Barbara Vucanovich took me to lunch," he said.
Amodei, who took over representation of the district when Heller was appointed to the Senate in May 2011, said there are two remarkable facts about her service that stand out for him.
"One is, it was never about Barbara, which is a phenomenally rare thing in politics, and the other one was, Barbara Vucanovich served 14 years and came home, and that's a rare thing that I think is really neat too - one of the things I respect most about her," he said.
Vucanovich took the lead on many issues affecting Nevada and helped line up support in the House of Representatives to create the Great Basin National Park in 1986; the only national park created in the contiguous United States during the Reagan administration. She was also instrumental in getting the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit repealed.
In an interview Friday, Vucanovich said she is dismayed at the sorry state of discourse and civility in Congress, not to mention the inability of Republicans and Democrats to reach agreement on critical issues, including the budget deficit. But Vucanovich said she does not have a magic solution to change the political climate for the better.
"It's kind of discouraging and it's not good government," she said.
Attitudes were different during her tenure, Vucanovich said.
"We would disagree in committee or disagree on various issues but when the day was over we patted each other on the shoulder and said, 'nice day, how is your family.' I know a lot of nice Democrats and we get along fine."
"The president, of course, was Ronald Reagan, and although he had a Democratic Congress and so forth everybody liked him," Vucanovich said. "And it was fine for me, he was there for six years so we were friends and I felt like it was very comfortable. And he was a friend with (House Speaker) Tip O'Neill. I mean they would have differences but then they would have a drink at night."
Vucanovich has told her story in a new book, "Barbara F. Vucanovich – From Nevada To Congress, And Back Again."
When she was elected, Vucanovich was one of only a handful of women serving in the House.
"It was different and there were very few women as I say, only 19 of us, and so we got to know each other," she said. "A lot of us had differences of course, but we were always friendly to each other and it was a great experience."
Vucanovich held many key roles during her tenure, including chairwoman of the very powerful Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction; only the second woman ever to chair an appropriations subcommittee at that time.
"If you are a woman running for office in Nevada, Barbara Vucanovich is the first endorsement you seek," said Randi Thompson, a former legislative candidate.
Audio clips:
Former Rep. Barbara Vucanovich says her then-boss, Sen. Paul Laxalt, encouraged her to run for the seat:
081812Vucanovich1 :12 I did it."
Vucanovich says she was of 19 women in the House:
081812Vucanovich2 :14 a great experience."
Vucanovich says she was fortunate to serve during much of Ronald Reagan's two terms:
081812Vucanovich3 :30 drink at night."
Sen. Dean Heller says he first met Barbara Vucanovich more than 20 years ago in Washington, DC:
081812Heller :26 me to lunch."
Rep. Mark Amodei says Vucanovich's career in Congress was never about her but about her constituents:
081812Amodei :15 most about her."

Thanks to crappy Keenspace, running a comic has become a major hassle, not to mention that I lost my FTP program and cannot figure out K'space's.
Anyhoo, this Monday thru Friday expect a new episode every day! I gotta make it up to you guys somehow. After that, sadly, we will be going to a once a week schedule for two months so I can get this "Ella Phant" comic done for the Chicago Comic-Con in July. Friends will be receiving a free copy, others will be able to order it off the site soon.
Thanks for waiting, I might be jumping ship soon though. Modern Tales is looking for a whole bunch of new comics to run and I truly think that VND will fit right in there instead of this slowly dying free space.

How to Grow Onions in Fairmont, North Carolina, United States of America
No one is really sure where onions were first cultivated. The onion is believed to have originated in Asia, though evidence shows that onions may have been growing on every continent. There is evidence of onions growing in Chinese and Indian gardens as early as 5000 years ago. Organized cultivation of onion estimated to have begun around 3,500 BC, and its usage is clearly seen in ancient Egyptian culture religious ceremonies as painted on tombs and pyramids. One thing is certain, the onion has been in use for over 5000 years. Yikes that's a lot. Onions belong to the genus Allium, which also includes leeks, garlic, shallots and chives. All onions grow under the ground and have green/bluish tubes that grow above ground. They are very easy to grow and can grow in just about any type of soil so long as they get sun and water.

It is now the leading gardening and weather app, more accurate than The USDA zone map for frost dates. GardenWeather™ is a technology and agri-tech startup providing real-time hyper local planting and gardening recommendations enabling home gardeners and homesteaders to make data-driven gardening decisions.
Use these images to know if your onion is heading in the right direction and growing properly. Exact number of growing days varies for each onion variety. Below is the average number of days for each stage gathered from many different varieties.
Onion Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
100% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow onion seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?

Optimal plant spacing
1.8 inches / 4.6 cm
Optimal row spacing
15.5 inches / 39.4 cm
Onion Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the onion plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?
Required soil temp.
50.2º-90ºF / 10.1º-32.2ºC
Optimal soil temp.
65.6º-80ºF / 18.7º-26.7ºC

How difficult is it to grow onions?
Growing onions, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0
Companion Planting Guide
What is companion planting?
Companion planting is intentional planting of two or more vegetables and/or flowers next to each other in order to positively impact plant health and yield
