How to Calculate Breaker Box Load 200 Amps
Can your 200 amp breaker box handle the demands put on it without damaging the breakers? Mapping out the electrical needs of your home will show you whether you are remaining at or below the 200 amp capacity of your system.
How to Calculate Amps for a Breaker Box
Determine the size of wiring in your circuits. A 14-gauge wire has a 15 amp rating. A 12-gauge wire has a 20 amp rating.
Check that each breaker has the same amp rating as the wire ratings. They can have different wiring and amp capabilities, but each should not exceed the number of amps that the breaker can handle. You'll find this number on top of the toggle switch. It may also have a bar that connects two switches on the same breaker.
The standard voltage for a home is 120 volts. If you have 12-gauge wires with 20 amps, multiply 20 amps by 120 volts to get the total amount of watts that a particular circuit can handle. In this case its would be 2,400 watts. Do this for every circuit to find the total wattage your breaker box needs to handle.
Check every light fixture and outlet in your home or building. Add up the amps based on wiring.
As long as you do not have more than 200 amps going into your breaker box you should be fine, but remember that your total watt load will be the sum you determined in Step 3.

As I said earlier on that I LOVE FOOD, here are some food that I personally recommend trying in Kuching or some other place else which I think you should try.
Kuching is the usual entry point for travelers wanting to explore the Malaysian state of Sarawak in Borneo. Boasted as one of the cleanest cities in Asia, Kuching has just the right amount of tourism. The food in Kuching is excellent, while prices are yet to be inflated by the tourist masses.
Kuching often lends its own unique twist to traditional Malay, Chinese, Iban, Bidayuh, and even Indonesian food.
The people of Kuching are very proud of their home-grown delicacies; they'll gladly engage you in a food debate and argue that their dishes are the best in Malaysia, if not the whole of Southeast Asia.
A friend of mine, Effadylia Affendi loves reviewing food, you guys can check out her blog on where and what to eat too. http://theborneogirl.com/

Our Patron
Professor Fiona Stanley AC FAA FASSA
'I am delighted to be Patron of Franklin Women. Rosalind Franklin did not share the Nobel prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA, although her research was crucial. I love the idea that Franklin Women will work to encourage and support women in health and medical research so that we can make the best contributions to this important field of human endeavour. Women now make up more than 50% of all biomedical graduates but the challenges are significant for them to succeed at the highest level.'
Professor Fiona Stanley
For Fiona, health and medical research is in her genes. Her father, Neville Stanley, was a medical researcher in the field of infectious diseases and vaccines (in particular, Polio vaccine research) who went on to be the Foundation Chair of Microbiology at the University of Western Australia. Fiona's career started in Western Australia as a doctor where she developed a passion for population health and epidemiology, particularly through her work with local indigenous communities. This passion for medical research took her around the world including time at the London School of Hygiene and Tropic Medicine in the United Kingdom and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health in the United States.
Once back in Australia she continued her research in the area of childhood diseases, which over the years broadened to encompass the social determinants of health (i.e. social, economic and political factors impacting health outcomes) and how looking at a community holistically can lead to the prevention of illness and disease. Her most important methodological legacies are the development and sophisticated use of total population linked data sets, cohort studies and special disease registers such as those of birth defects and developmental disorders. An example of this is her seminal research, with Professor Carol Bower, demonstrating the association between folic acid intake during pregnancy and the development of neural-tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the infant. They then pioneered the worlds first preventive program. She is devoted to improving Aboriginal child health and Wellbeing and has trained many Aboriginal PhDs.
In 1990 Fiona founded the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, a leading health and medical research Institute in Western Australia. After more than 20 years as Director she has now retired and assumed the role of Patron. She is still actively involved in research projects at the Telethon Kids Institute and holds positions as a Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Western Australia and Vice Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Melbourne. She continues to advocate for cross-disciplinary and translational child health research for the benefit of the community.
Over the course of her career Fiona has mentored many women in the health and medical research field. She has experienced first hand the challenges experienced by women forging careers in this field and is a wonderful example of a female leader who is committed to opening doors and providing opportunities for other women who are on their way up. You can read more about the importance of mentoring to Fiona here.
Her contribution to health and medical research field but also to the health of women and their children in Australia and beyond has resulted in Fiona being acknowledged with a number of awards and accolades (we can't help but list some below!). Franklin Women is honored to have Fiona as our Patron. She is an intelligent, kind and strong woman who we are proud to have represent our organisation and our members

Our independent living chairs come in a range of styles and functions that can cater to your individual needs, tastes and budget.
While you may be searching for a new chair solely for the added comfort, you may have a particular feature in mind that could help either yourself or a loved one to stay safe and relaxed.
For example, a good firm backrest can help ease back pain. Or an adjustable backrest, with cushions you can re-position, can be used to prevent the user from leaning too heavily to one side.
Similarly, the different motor action options can help you tailor your home care chair to your specific requirements. Some chairs can recline almost horizontally – perfect for if you're hoping to take a nap or two. On the other hand, some can stay completely upright in the back, while still raising your legs – great for respiratory conditions.

Executive Summary
The greenhouse vegetable production sector is one of the greatest success stories of Canadian agriculture over the past twenty-five years. The sector has expanded to the point where it now exports annually over $600 million of greenhouse vegetable products (tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, and lettuce) primarily to the US. At the same time that the Canadian sector has been expanding, high tech vegetable greenhouse capacity has expanded in Mexico at an even faster pace, putting Mexico in the position of a formidable competitor for market share in the US market. Mexico is closer in proximity to about half of the US population than Canadian exporters, and for the other
half of the population, Canadian exporters have shorter supply lines. The Canadian and Mexican competition is counter-seasonal, as Mexico is in peak production during the November to March "shoulder months" of winter in the northern hemisphere. Canada is in peak production from April to October when higher temperatures in Mexico take their toll on product yield and quality. Mexican production of greenhouse grown peppers and mini-cukes is not as advanced or developed as Canada's. The competition is most direct in the tomato and English cucumber categories.
The greenhouse vegetable production sector has only become formally organized at the national level in Canada over the past three years through the good offices of the Canadian Horticultural Council (CHC). Prior to the formation of the CHC Greenhouse Committee in 2009, which brings five provinces and regions together to provide a national forum, the greenhouse vegetable sector developed through provincial grower organizations and had only informal contact with each other. The CHC Greenhouse Committee is active in meeting to address sector issues and share information but it does not have any significant financial resources or permanent or dedicated staff. The greenhouse vegetable sector's export growth is a result of the fiercely independent, entrepreneurial character of the sector. Individual marketers, representing and supplied by growers with varying degrees of vertical integration, have developed their own customer relationships and brand identities in the US market. There has been relatively little coordinated marketing action in the US market apart from joint exhibits supported by grower organizations at the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) annual trade show in October. In recent years, more marketers have chosen to exhibit at the PMA in their own independent booths. Thus, the sector has been characterized by independence and inter-marketer competitive rivalry.
As the sector has grown and responded to competitive opportunities and challenges - not the least of which has been the escalation in the value of the Canadian dollar over the past decade - two divergent business models have emerged. At the marketer level, the business model has been to form global supply arrangements, either through alliances or by buying or building production capacity in other regions like Mexico and the US Southwest, in order to be able to provide continuous supply to customers throughout the year. At the grower level, the business model has been to look for ways to extend production through the darker months of winter by using artificial lighting to supplement sunlight, and therefore be able to continuously supply product. While these business models share a common goal around the recognition of the value of providing year-round supply, the strategies to achieve that goal are different and can be in conflict. To the marketers that have developed international supply arrangements, Canada is one, but not exclusive, primary source of supply, especially during the April to October period. To the growers, the marketers represent their only exclusive marketing arrangement and therefore they depend on the marketers to move whatever product they are able to produce. Conflict can arise when marketers are simultaneously marketing product from Canadian greenhouses and product which they have sourced from other parts of the world. This is a practice that is referred to by the sector as "co-mingling." Co-mingling inhibits the ability to apply the Canada brand, since the product is not exclusively Canadian in origin, and may also increase phytosanitary and food safety risks.
Among other considerations, product arriving in the packing plants from other parts of the world for repacking may introduce foreign pests into Canadian greenhouses that were not previously detected here. If those same potential pests are found on product for re-export to the US, their presence may unfairly be attributed to Canadian grown product. This risk could have serious negative implications that could cause difficulties for continuing open border access to the US market. Therefore, there is a strong need by growers to see foreign product repacked for export strictly segregated from Canadian product and correctly labeled so that there is neither deliberate, nor inadvertent "passing off," of foreign product as Canadian.
The Canadian greenhouse vegetable sector has successfully weathered the rise in the value of the Canadian dollar vis-à-vis its US counterpart, as well as continued to expand export volumes and values. The sector has obtained a measure of relief on its cost structure by the decline in natural gas prices and the prospect of long-term, abundant supplies of natural gas in most parts of Canada. This supply prospect comes from technological innovation and discovery in connection with shale gas.
The strategy development for this sector was undertaken through extensive consultation with growers and marketers in the sector, as well as reviewing data for trends that enable reasonable estimates of future growth of the US market. The data conveys optimism for the future. Although more specific consumer research could be done, this report draws on extensive consumer research done by Ipsos Reid in the Ontario market for the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (cited by permission), and by trends identified in The Packer's 2011 Fresh Trends report, including customized analysis of purchased data not otherwise published. Key findings in this report are:
• The USDA, in its Long Term Forecast issued in February 2011, projects that imports of
fresh fruits and vegetables will rise from $10.3 billion in 2009 to $20.2 billion in 2020. While this forecast is not disaggregated for greenhouse vegetable products specifically, it shows that the consumer demand in the US for fresh fruits and vegetables will continue to grow and that a significant portion of the demand will be met by imported produce. Thus, the greenhouse vegetable sector's focus on the US market is astute given that it is forecast to be an attractive growth market.
• Within the fresh vegetable category, one of the striking differences between US and
Canadian consumers is the differential higher consumption rate of cucumbers by Canadians, almost 50% higher, at 9.7 pounds per capita in Canada, and 6.2 pounds per capita in the US (2009). This difference is attributed to the higher consumption of greenhouse English cucumbers in Canada, a product which many American consumers are unaware of and which they cannot purchase. The opportunity to close this gap by introducing more American consumers to greenhouse English cucumbers and opening more distribution channels for them is immense. In this strategy, the strategic goal of doubling Canada's greenhouse cucumber exports to the US in three to five years is proposed, together with specific tactics that are intended to achieve it.
• The USDA Long Term Forecast projects that 'food away from home' will overtake 'food at home' by the mid-point of the current decade. The US recession temporarily interrupted this long term trend as consumers slightly shifted to more 'food at home'. Given the expected rise in demand for 'food away from home', it is strategically astute to work towards developing a greater share for greenhouse vegetables in the food service market. That goal is one of the areas of focus for the strategy developed in this report.
• To provide differentiation from basic commodity forms of tomatoes, peppers and
cucumbers, and the lower prices associated with field-grown and shade house product, it is essential for the sector to position greenhouse-grown product:
- to be at the forefront of product innovation,
- to bring new offerings to market that build customer relationships,
- to provide meaningful differentiation from competitors emphasizing the
superior quality of genuine greenhouse-grown product, and
- to allow higher margins to be earned for retailers, marketers and growers
than is possible from head-to-head straight commodity competition.
Accordingly, a goal of this strategy is not only to foster product innovation but to shorten
cycle times for bringing new products to test markets. By encouraging more experimentation and testing by growers (aligned with marketers), the goal is to reduce market risk associated with the failure of new product introductions. That risk can be mitigated by validating consumer acceptance with a limited test market and then ramping up to have sufficient supply for the roll-out of the new product introduction on a larger scale.
• The need for vigilance in ensuring ongoing access to the US market has been identified as a strategic imperative. Food safety and traceability can be an important defensive tool in that task. Outstanding food safety practices and traceability technology can also serve to confer a competitive advantage for Canadian grown greenhouse product.
• While it is not a major focus of the strategy developed in this report, there is a need to
constantly probe markets other than the US for opportunities to develop relationships there. This is especially true for niche products that are able to bear the higher cost of
transportation. Mexico, China and Japan have been identified as markets particularly
worthy of further probing.

In the spirit of making my writing more close to everyone's truth and not just limited to my personal opinion and bias, I have gathered a few people from ZFT to ask for their opinion.
The opinions were based on a very solid few principles or grounds with a little difference along the way. It was exciting to see them happy to contribute, and hopefully I'd get a more structured process the next time I seek their voice.
1. Trading is our passion.
Other people found their passion over something more common and palatable. It must be strange to be told that sitting in front of a computer for hours in a day, and avoiding the daylight in the process was something someone could feel 'strongly passionate' about.
The word passion triggers an image of either something adrenaline-filled with Mission Impossible background music or dirty, brown clothes in a feeding program.
Understand that we feel strongly about these things too, and trading actually makes it possible for us to not just volunteer to be a part of a charity drive, but to fund one.
All the more reason why we love this game.
As Musashi said, "If she loves me enough to give me time for my passion… I'd do ANYTHING for her din."
2. Trading rewards us well. Especially you.
Riding a bagger stock is incredibly amazing. It can change someone's life in an instant.
Robert Sy, one of ZFT's mentors, was able to fund his new home from his DAVIN trade.
Another one of them, Alpha Centauri, usually gets his wife a new luxury bag each time a trade goes very well.
"I want my SOs to know that I'm doing my best for them. That I'm not just sitting there and doing nothing and doing it for the sake of myself.
Gusto ko malaman nila na I'm spending time in stocks so that in the future, we could spend more quality time without worrying about the expenses and kung ano pa." — ZF
If you can stick through the bad times, the good times will be worth it.
Stock trading enables us to have more time for you and our family in the long run. Sure we might need more time to study and dissect now, but understand that most of us didn't go to college and earn a degree for this.
So on having less time for his significant other, Tin Nitus commented: "If you're still on the process of learning, yes. If you're already consistent then no it does not take your time away from them. Learning how to trade is in itself trading your time now so that you can have more of it later. So I guess support is very important from one's significant other while he or she is still on the process of mastering the craft."
We're both studying and practicing. It's double the effort at a small amount of time, with the stakes high.
3. Having said that, we need to focus on making this work.
Timmy said, 'Trading is just like any other business. May time din na hindi pwede ma-disturb kasi work din yun. Kelangan naka-focus. So pag trading hours work. kasama na din if may sariling business. Syempre may take home work din, like trading andun din yung pag chart. Pag after na yung mga yun… dun na ung play-play'.
Another one from Alpha Centauri who might have one of the best married lives in ZFT claims his wife does not disturb him during trading hours.
"What most people (general population) fail to understand is the fact that trading is a profession that needs 100% commitment and focus. Kasi naisip nila asa harap ka lang ng computer so available ka anytime.", he continued.
But others were quick to add how having such mindset is a danger to the trader's practice.
Jay G. agreed. He recounts a memory where he missed out on a ceiling play because of this. "Isang beses nagalit ako dahil namiss ko yung FOOD ceiling dahil may pinagawa sila sakin, sabi ko kung di nya ako inutusan at nakabili ako nung stock na yun worth 100k kumita sana ako ng 50k sa isang araw lang." He claimed his family didn't repeat that crucial mistake.
For others, the only option was to leave the house.
Finally, Lance, one of the new mentors, added that 'Trading is my passion and trading is where I get what we need and want, pati yung future na rin ni baby. kaya dapat do not disturb me during trading hours'
Unless you would like to take the blame for the missed opportunity? or the late cut which translates to a significant amount of money?
4. Being a trader makes us largely misunderstood.
Fact: 1% of the Philippine population invests in the stock market, and within that 1%, those who do are divided between investors who buy-and-hold and those who actively buy-and-sell.
Mentioning to my father that I would like to be a trader as a profession, he didn't understand what I meant. He thought I would have a phsyical shop where I sell what I bought and he asked if I could sell some of his solar panels, a business he wanted to start upon his retirement. I was quick to correct him that I meant stocks, and the deals will be done online at a brokerage account.
One of the ZFT mentors, Henry Tan had his visa application for Japan rejected because of his assets that they claimed 'were not properly explained'. To most people, even to the government itself, we look like we're unemployed.
It is part true, because after all we're not someone's employee. We are our own boss.
Being unique and misunderstood, however, makes things tricky for us. But we don't mind as long as the people who matter do.
"Sometimes they think i'm always playing or just sitting and doing nothing productive. Kasi siguro iniisip nila kelangan physical labor para ma-consider as work? So parang tambay tingin nila."– ZF
5. Sometimes, though, we don't need to watch the market like a hawk.
This is normal too. As much as there are times we couldn't do anything but keep our focus, there are days where we can be lenient. Just like any day job, there are times where there isn't a lot of action.
Ser Tor recounts a memory where nothing much happened in the trading day. After all, we are all just participants of the market and if there's nothing happening, then there's nothing to participate in.
He said, "pag feel mo matumal market pos maglakad lakad ka lang sa bahay sasabihin 'oh bat ka nakatayo, sinasabi mo lang busy ka pag inuutusan ka e' "
Lance added, "meron naman pag EOD trade ka tapos nanunuod ka ng movie 'Bakit di ka nagttrade?' "
Please understand that sometimes, having no trade is better than trading a potentially losing one, just for the sake of doing something.
In the trading community, we say, "Cash is also a position."
6. We become walking contradictions with money.
Once you go financially literate, there is absolutely no going back. Add to that is the notion that every cent can make a huge difference to our position.
Buying a stock at 0.74 and selling it at 0.8 makes only a 1 cent difference, but oh what difference does that make. Incredible to say the least. It made us value money more.
So, in a peculiar manner, we become more careful with our spendings. Like Lance said, "Hindi araw-araw kumikita." making us value our little cents and big wins more.
Everyone answered a resounding "Yes!" when I asked them if their partners became less careful with the monetary gain though. It's because the concept of making that win look so easy to outsiders. Hey, just a bunch of buttons and selling at a higher price right?
But as much as we would want to claim it to be 'easy', any set-up has the probability of failing. Even a 99% chance of win rate, still has that 1% losing probablity.
Being careful with the money we gained is subtly telling us you value how hard we worked to make it happen, and everybody wants to be appreciated for their sacrifice.
7. We love you, but we crave to be understood.
Asked whether they would rather date a trader and none of those who are already in a relationship said yes. They had different rationalizations as to why, one according to Musashi is this, 'This reminds me of a movie, yung same workplace silang dalawa. Hey.. you know what happened to Fred? Oh wait, you were there… You know who got fired? Oh, you already know… Something funny happened at the office… Uhm… you saw it too?"
Chester took the other side of the coin, "Ako gusto ko turuan para mas maraming pwedeng pagusapan."
For Timmy, however, his reason was more about the risk. "Sa financial side lang naman iniisip ko. Pag may fixed other income pwede. Pag wala kasi medyo alanganin, di natin maiiwasan magkakaron talaga ng months na bagsak. Pag nagkataon bagsak kayo dalawa medyo mahirap."
However, being misunderstood has made some of them re-consider. One of them answered yes, if only he could, because she would 'get' his struggles more.
For ZF, it's all about being able to spend quality time with each other. "I'll date a trader. If for long term and pakasal and she understands the risks she's gonna take in dating a high risk trader, then why the heck not? I think gusto ko nga kasi if i'm travelling, masasama ko siya, eh kung di yun trader tapos may day job, patay."
When I asked if they would teach their current SO instead, Lance brightened up at the memory of his wife scribbling down notes as he tries to teach her. But the real struggle is how far the other person is willing to take on for the sake of understanding their world or becoming a trader themselves. As Akio Kashiwagi said, "Almost lahat ng close sakin, gusto ko turuan. Pero ang hirap humanap ng taong gusto talaga mag trade."
I guess if you can't be like them, at least respect and understand them for their difference. Besides, it can bring in loads of cash.
Some people's passion can drain the household finance, this one can make it grow.
8. There are downsides to this story too.
A very important aspect of this game is being unemotional, and for women this is a wild idea of their husband or boyfriend coldly controlling their feelings. After all, isn't how they felt about us that makes them love us?
This was one of the large misunderstandings Lance have mentioned, "Pagiging unemotional ko na, kasi nagimprove na rin yung pagiging manhid ko not just in trading but in my surroundings as well".
But we are reassured, Chester said "kung di kami makausap during trading hours or during studying or for others na nagging manhid na kakacut loss na it affects na rin yung relationships, kindly understand muna na there are times na ganun lang talaga. Hopefully hindi naman all the time walang time or wala nang emotions."
When ZF had a bad day in trading where he'd lose a bothersome amount of his port, his first line of defence was sleep. "It didn't help when I wanted to restart my mindset but I was being forced into conversations about some gossip of the day. Ofcourse, I'd tune out and when I do, that gets me into trouble. I'd try to ask for some time just to shake it off, but I wasn't allowed that."
A giant part of being a successful trader is the mindset and the ability to stay hungry and desiring even when the odds haven't been in our favor. One of our ways is learning how to make bad days (which are a lot) not get to our psyche. If someone stops us from practicing that, we risk spreading their inner turmoil to the next trade.
I remember the time I told my ex about trying to recover 200,000 php of my money I have lost. By then, I was already hopeful and cheerful despite going through a rough patch in trading. I had lost money in $TA twice. Still, I was feeling unperturbed. His face betrayed him, however. He sounded more worried than I am and this eventually transferred back to me.
Should I be worried too? Oh no, was it really that bad? It started a chain reaction of anxious trades again, since his doubt crept on my mind as well.
But hey, if you want the rewards of dating someone who could make that much money at the comforts of your own home, we must be prepared for the inevitable days where your love and faith for him will replace and fill his own doubts.
This one is from Alpha Centauri: "Having my wife's support even in my worst was the key to my success. Na kahit sobrang wasak na wasak ang port ko nung lowest ko, sabi lng nya, get up and do something about it." Is anyone else inlove with Mrs. Alpha yet? Because I surely am. Listen to this guy who milked incredible baggers last year.
9. You can choose to be the reason for our success or failure.
Our partners will largely determine who we will become as a person in general. This still runs true in trading. Can you imagine being the difference for the person for him to either be a hopeful, determined trader who lost money versus an insecure, doubtful man who is the supposed provider of the family?
You could either bring him some warm snack in the middle of trading, give him a peck on the cheek, and wish for good tidings or you could make things harder and more stressful for the man who's already playing a zero-sum game. It's ultimately your choice.
It's not hard to make us happy. We already love you, even when you aren't doing anything, a simple back rub or 'Hon, are you comfortable? Do you want to pad the chair?" would be intensely appreciated.
Instead of, "Charting nanaman? Stocks nanaman?", encourage it. That could be a very good play with a 20% upside. A 20% upside of a million is 200,000. That's enough to pay for a trip you've been wanting to go to AND your child's tuition. Why not say, "Did you chart na? Are you ready for Monday? Do you have everything you need?"
Do you pull him up or do you push him down? His journey is your journey too, so don't sabotage the man/woman who is only doing his/her best for you at a sector he feels so passionately about.
This is, after all, for you.
Forever yours,

Prayer for Judgement on Israel's Foes
A Song. A Psalm of Asaph.
1O God, do not keep silence;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2Even now your enemies are in tumult;
those who hate you have raised their heads.
3They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against those you protect.
4They say, 'Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more.'
5They conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Assyria also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
9Do to them as you did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the Wadi Kishon,
10who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, 'Let us take the pastures of God
for our own possession.'
13O my God, make them like whirling dust,83.13 Or a tumbleweed
like chaff before the wind.
14As fire consumes the forest,
as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane.
16Fill their faces with shame,
so that they may seek your name, O LORD.
17Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever;
let them perish in disgrace.
18Let them know that you alone,
whose name is the LORD,
are the Most High over all the earth.

A Chinese man has been handed a heavy fine after being caught trying to bring a variety of unauthorised plant seeds into New Zealand.
Kwan Sang Cheng was fined $2,500 in Manukau District Court last week and ordered to pay court costs of $132.89.
The 58-year old arrived at Auckland International Airport on a flight from Hong Kong, on July 1 this year.
He ticked 'yes' on a Passenger Arrival Card to bringing in food but 'no' to possessing any plant material.
A search of Cheng's baggage turned up a variety of bean seeds, including soybean seeds, in his jacket, said MPI communications adviser Sara Stavropoulos.
Cheng said he intended to plant them in a relative's garden in New Zealand.
He also said he knew the seeds could not be brought into the country.
Plant seeds posed a significant biosecurity risk to New Zealand's unique environment, said Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Northern Region compliance manager Greg Keys.
Passengers who wanted to bring in plant material must declare it so it could be assessed for risk, he said.
"There are biosecurity signs located around the airport, quarantine inspectors on duty, and amnesty bins are clearly visible and are provided in the passenger arrival hall for the disposal of any last minute items. So not knowing is not an excuse."
The maximum penalty for knowingly attempting to possess unauthorised goods is five years' imprisonment and/or a fine of $100,000.
Passengers could ask MPI quarantine inspectors about any items they were unsure about, Keys said.

For this year's Saturday's Westword Music Showcase, I told myself I was going to take it easy. No running around like an idiot, trying to see as many acts as possible. Instead, I would move at a leisurely pace, sampling and savoring instead of trying to gorge myself on as much music as I could stuff into my ears. But try as I might, I couldn't make myself do it. With so many artists representing so many different styles performing in such close proximity to each other, I simply had to keep moving. In the end, I wound up catching parts of thirty sets between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Here's a sampling of what saner Showcase attendees might have missed.
Hour One (1 p.m. to 2 p.m.): My wife Deb and I had planned to be at the Showcase by its noon start time, but our plan was nixed thanks to The Comcast Repairman Who Wouldn't Leave (our Internet access had gone down, and it took him a whopping two-and-a-half hours to get everything fixed). So the first act I caught was Westword cover band Pirate Signal on the outdoor stage: Yonnas Abraham got the crowd bouncing to an opus inspired by playing at the Warped Tour. From there, we caught the Magic Mice in the main room at Bar Standard, proving that what used to be called college rock back in the '90s still works in this millennium; Satan's Eighties Lovechild on Bar Standard's patio, serving up grooves and charisma in equal portions; Jen Korte at Mo's, dispensing lovely harmonies supplemented by a touch of brass (what in life wouldn't be improved by a little well-placed flugelhorn?); Spare the Legion at Broadways, growling and roaring like Hell's own spawn; and Wetlands at Fidel's Cantina, where one of the guitarists donned a "JC Saves" t-shirt (the "JC" in question being Jay Cutler) and an attendee wearing a Pink Floyd concert souvenir on his chest leaned his head against the wall and closed his eyes, blissfully absorbing the group's updated take on classic psychedelia. The trip continues.

Hour Two (2 p.m. to 3 p.m.): The Northern Way, formerly Set Forth, offered keyboard-based pop to the gathering throng at the outdoor stage. Over at Bar Standard, The Still City made music that didn't quite correspond to the flannel worn by several members, but close enough; Overcoasters, led by a remarkably well preserved Kurt Ottaway, unleashed their throb at Sutra; Whygee got the maximum use out of the tiny stage at Vinyl; Action Packed Thrill Ride navigated Fidel's Cantina; and Black Lamb led the crowd at Broadways in a heavily metallic clap-along that deserved a round of applause.
Hour Three (3 p.m. to 4 p.m.): A Place to Bury Strangers proved to be a power trio with an acccent on the adjective: Oliver Ackermann's edgy, serrated guitar tones were positively lethal. Then, we were off to Bar Standard, to watch the members of Alan Alda differentiate themselves from their namesake; the Curious Theatre, where Hello Kavita triumphed over a dubious sound mix (the violinist might as well have been a mime); Sutra, to see Lion Sized get by with a little help from friend Magic Cyclops; Broadways, for a display of in-our-faces sonic aggression courtesy of Enemy Reign; and the Bannock St. Garage in time to catch the final notes of a Boldtype set that left the players and the crowd alike drenched in sweat. As it should be.

Hour Four (4 p.m. to 5 p.m.): The men of the Knew used their awkwardness to good advantage at Bar Standard; Git Some lead singer Luke Fairchild, sporting a trucker cap and a backwoods-rapist beard, absolutely shredded Sutra; No Plot Kill turned Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" into a punk opus at Bannock St. Garage; Something Underground brought the old-school rock to Fidel's Cantina; Cursive sang about free HBO and Moby Dick on the outdoor stage (the song in question is called "What Have I Done?"); and Ian Cooke transfixed the masses stuffed into Mo's. At one point, he introduced a song that had never been heard by anyone other than his accompanists by hypothesizing that it would probably be a rough outing -- but his rendition of the ditty proved to be passionate, emotional and lovely. His music's better than his predictions are.
Hour Five (5 p.m. to 6 p.m.): The Swayback's inductees reminded the people jammed into Bar Standard why they have a rep as one of Denver's best live acts; the Photo Atlas turned Sutra into a dance party so manic that I only occasionally glimpsed the top of the players' heads; Demon Funkies induced noodle dancing at Fidel's Cantina; Tauntaun unfurled riffs built to withstand even the conditions on the ice planet Hoth; and ManeLine, at Vinyl, gave what for me was the single best performance I caught. They raised the roof on the club's rooftop stage to spectacular heights.
By the time the Fluid clambered onto the outdoor stage, the rains had arrived, accompanied by hail. (It was my second day in a row to be doused and pummeled by the elements; see my review of KS-107.5's Summer Jam, a Friday show that was delayed for the better part of an hour because of a fearsome thunderstorm.) The big crowd gathered to hear these local heroes reenact their exciting comeback of last year scattered, with plenty of people heading to tented areas out of self-defense -- and Fluid lead singer John Robinson had his own trepidations. "I'm going to try not to imiate Keith Relf and electrocute myself," he said, referencing the late frontman for the Yardbirds, who came to a shocking end.
Fortunately, Robinson lived to rock another day -- and so did the Westword Music Showcase, whose 2010 edition will have a tough act to follow.

Rogers' colleagues plan new series, research unit
Family Communications Inc., the nonprofit built around the late children's TV producer and host Fred Rogers, has set its course to extend Rogers' legacy.
Under the leadership of new Chief Operating Officer Kevin Morrison, the company recently began seeking outside partners to create a new children's television show — what they hope will be a worthy successor to the longrunning PBS series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The PBS series ended production in 2001, two years before Rogers' death, but continues to air on most PBS stations.
Morrison, a British media executive who relocated from Los Angeles last summer to become FCI's c.o.o., sees the new endeavor as the best option to revitalize the 36-year-old company based at Pittsburgh's WQED-TV/FM.
Since December Rogers has been memorialized outside the station with a statue that took some artistic license with Rogers' gentle persona — a fanciful fiberglass dinosaur (Fredosaurus Rex Friday XIII) wearing Rogers' signature attire — red cardigan and blue tennis shoes — and holding his puppets King Friday XIII and Henrietta Pussycat. It was one of 100 dinosaur statues erected during Pittsburgh's DinoMite Days.
Rogers died at age 74 in February 2003 after a brief battle with stomach cancer. Family Communications' staff of 14 carried on, continuing to provide services supporting Neighborhood broadcasts, upgrading the series' companion website on PBSKids.org and producing training materials for preschool teachers, caregivers and parents.
Refugee from L.A.
Morrison, a former production exec for Central Television, the commercial broadcaster then serving Britain's Midlands, spent the previous two decades making TV in Los Angeles. In the 1980s he was sent to America to help lead Central's expansion into the U.S. television market, and he later moved to Zodiac Entertainment, an animation company in which he had invested. Morrison also had stints heading Bonneville Worldwide Entertainment and other companies.
"I wanted to get out of L.A., which was no longer a place I enjoyed living," Morrison told Current. He had been looking for jobs in the nonprofit sector, where he felt he would find "far greater job satisfaction," when a headhunter told him that FCI was looking for a new leader.
When asked during interviews what he envisioned for the nonprofit in five years, Morrison said: "'You've got to do a new program or there won't be an FCI in five years.' I think everybody else signed on to that," he said.
For its entire existence, FCI was "built around Fred Rogers, and its purpose was to make Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and support Fred," Morrison said. Without Rogers, the nonprofit had to examine "what it's for if Fred's not here," Morrison said.
FCI began soliciting proposals from outside producers last year, looking to negotiate development deals with established children's television producers who share Rogers' philosophy and can bring "a fresh perspective and new ideas," Morrison said. Since shuttering production of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in 2001, FCI lacks the staff and the resources to mount a new production on its own, he said.
FCI set basic criteria for program concepts it will consider. The show will serve preschool children and address their social and emotional development. "Unlike other shows on television, it's not our job to teach ABCs or how to count or about science," Morrison said. "It's about what Mister Rogers was about — getting ready to learn. It's about emotional and social issues. There aren't many programs in that category at the moment."
Morrison plans to sign more than one development deal and present concepts to PBS. "We hope to be at the presentation stage later this year," he said, "but I won't put an artificial timetable on it because we have to get it right."
Anyone who thinks that "the people who inherit the Mister Rogers tradition are a bunch of fuddy-duddies will be surprised because we're not," Morrison said. "We think there's value in everything that Fred did because it's timeless, and we can come up with formats" that address today's children.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood continues to air on stations reaching more than 80 percent of U.S. television households, as of January, and PBS's license to distribute the series extends through next year. But fewer major-market stations broadcast it in January than 17 months ago, according to carriage information provided by TV Guide to the pubTV research firm TRAC Media Services. Since October 2005, the earliest month covered in TRAC's database, carriage of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in the Nielsen's top 25 markets dropped from 96 percent to 72 percent.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is "part of the daily feed and will be this year and next year," Morrison said. "You can't say that for many other programs."
"We have to be honest with ourselves and say it isn't going to last forever, even for ordinary reasons like that it's not available in digital high-definition format and so on," Morrison said. "We have a duty to try and keep it out there and give it to as many people as want it and explore new ways of making it available to people."
Rogers' legacy in research
Rogers' colleagues have also created a sister organization to FCI, which Rogers himself began developing, building on his interest in child development. The Fred M. Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media, established in 2003 at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., recently appointed its first senior fellow, children's media researcher Ellen Wartella.
The center says its mission is to "advance the state of early learning and children's media by acting as a catalyst for communication, collaboration and creative change across both fields."
Working as a "virtual fellow," Wartella will conduct an environmental scan of the organizations and projects currently addressing the role of media in young children's lives. She will do the work from the University of California in Riverside, where she is executive vice chancellor, provost and distinguished professor of psychology.
Bill Isler, FCI president since 1995, is executive director of the Center. The two organizations are governed separately, Isler said, but are collaborating on efforts to create a central repository for materials and knowledge that defined Rogers' approach to children's educational television. Rogers' widow, Joanne Byrd Rogers, is board chair for Family Communications and honorary chair of the Rogers Center.

Juan Pablo Porto Darlene Farr Pre AP English 11 2 October 2014 The Meaning of Courage "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear" (Nelson Mandela). Whenever one mentions courage, feelings that may appear in our hearts are fear, respect and admiration. This interesting word has a very extent history, coming from the Latin word coraticum, which its root, "cor" means "heart." Later
2011 COURAGE What do you think about when you think of the word courage? Being brave and fearless is the first thing that comes to mind. But it literally means "an action that comes from the heart." Courage is a magnificent word. Many people show act of courage everyday. It takes motivation and deep thoughts to perform an act of courage. For example, suicide bombers have to have the courage to blow them up for whatever religion or reason to do it. Public speakers' has to have courage to get
Hunter Hageman 5 October 2013 Courage Courage is one of the most important characteristics that a person can have. It is something that can change history. It separates leaders from followers. Courage is found in those that are willing to stand up and face their fears. It can be found in history books, movies, on television, and basically every aspect of life. It can even be as simple as overcoming personal issues. Courage is needed in an ever changing world. Courage is being able to do something

In the two body paragraphs using the MLA format topic sentence, 1CD, 2CM, 2nd CD, 2CM, and a concluding sentence. I had to use quotes from the book to show how these two characters show courage.

Courage is an attribute that few people possess, and most long to have. Courage is the ability to stand up for what is right in the face of adversity. Without men having courage, evil will always triumph. As Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Later, Einstein would repeat this in reference to Adolf Hitler. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus portrayed his courage time and time again throughout the novel. He showed his bravery

When people think of courage they usually think of a firefighter saving a small child in a house engulfed in flames or an 18 year old boy going into the army. The truth is, courage is a lot more complex than everyone thinks. Courage is the ability to stand up for your beliefs. Martin Luther King Jr. is arguably the most courageous person to have walked the face of the earth
Courage On December 1st, 1955 in Montgomery Alabama, during a typical evening rush hour, a woman took seat on a bus. Before even arriving at her destination, she had started a social revolution. The woman was asked to move to the back of the bus due to laws on segregation; she strongly refused. She was then vigorously beaten and arrested. This well known woman, Rosa Parks, gave herself for the fight of freedom and equality that day. "When I made that decision" she said, "I knew I had the
Courage If you look in a dictionary and find the word courage you will find a few different definitions. All of them will be fairly similar though and read something like the following: mental or moral strength to venture, preserve, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. The origin of the word is from the 13th century Old French "corage" which was derived from the Latin "cor" meaning heart. This may mean different things to different people. I think there are three main types of courage and

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In autumn the pastoral council met with ministry leaders of the parish and learned that issues of formation, training, and tools for ministry are foremost in their thoughts for us to address. Therefore we've created a conference designed for ministry leaders and volunteers/future leaders, and all parishioners:
Bringing Passion and Purpose to Ministry
Saturday, May 4
Clare Fellowship Hall
8:30 am to 2:00 pm
Bro. Loughlan Sofield, S.T., a distinguished author and international speaker will open the day focusing on engaging your passions and gifts while growing in Christ. Following the keynote address, there will be a variety of breakout sessions. Please plan on joining us on Saturday, May 4 as we learn together how best to engage our passions and gifts and those of others in our ministries at St. Francis of Assisi. Click here to register and choose breakout sessions.
Throughout the year there are many retreat opportunities to experience God's love and peace in our lives – retreats for youth, women and men as well as on special topics like last month's "dancing in the crack." If you've never taken the opportunity to experience a retreat, I encourage you to consider it. One such special offering sponsored by the diocese is for women and men who have experienced abortion in their lives. "Project Rachel" weekend retreats are opportunities to hear Jesus' words of peace and experience God's love, forgiveness, and compassion in a supportive and confidential environment. If you are suffering from an abortion, this retreat is an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. Each retreat combines discussions, spiritual exercises, the sacrament of reconciliation, a memorial service and a Mass of the Resurrection. Participation is strictly confidential. The next retreat will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday, May 31, and end at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 2, in Smithfield, NC. The cost is $125 for lodging, meals, and all retreat materials (financial assistance is available). Our culture and media would have us believe that abortion is a woman's right as well as a solution to a problem. The truth is abortion hurts women and men. For more information: www.projectrachelnc.org or 919 852-1021.
In the peace of Christ,
Fr. Mark

Jerry is married, with four young-adult kids. He's the primary decision maker for his family's investment portfolio. He grew up watching his parents put everything they had into their business and wants to honor their legacy by preserving and growing the wealth they created.
His youngest daughter, Tina, has just graduated from college and is starting her first job. She's also beginning to pay attention the family's portfolio. And she has lots of questions: Company XYZ is using prison labor to make its products—I don't want to support mass incarceration. What's with these coal companies in our portfolio? They're ruining the environment. And who uses coal anymore anyway? Why do we own companies that don't support gender equality? Why aren't we investing in companies led by women?
Jerry sympathizes with these concerns. But he thinks the point of the portfolio is to enable his kids to start their lives and careers on the right foot, not to try to solve global warming. We already contribute to charity, he tells himself. Let's just let the portfolio be and not mess with our investment plan. For now Tina will live with that. But she won't forever.
Does it have to result in a family feud? Is there a way to give Jerry comfort that he's being financially prudent and give Tina confidence that the portfolio isn't at odds with her personal principles?
Responsible investing captures a new generation
Millennials are certainly not the first generation to care about the environment, social justice, or racial and gender equity. What appears to be unusual is the way younger investors want to address these issues in their investment portfolio.
According to a 2018 survey conducted by U.S. Trust, 80% of high-net-worth investors of all age groups agreed that companies should take responsibility for their impact on the environment and social well-being. In fact, baby boomers and their parents had slightly higher rates of agreement than millennials did. This shows that expectations for corporate responsibility don't differ markedly by age.
However, when asked whether a company's environmental, social, political, and governance track record was important to the investment decision, 87% of millennials agreed, compared with just 39% of their grandparents (the "silent" generation). And 77% of millennials indicated they were interested in ESG investing, compared with an average of 40% among high-net-worth investors in total. Differences in investment priorities may not be limited to generations, yet clearly the data is telling us that younger investors are more galvanized around responsible investing than their forebears. So how to reconcile these differences?

Understanding the investor's goals
The good news is that there's a way to find common ground and build portfolios to suit multiple stakeholders. It involves listening closely to what investors are saying and being precise about how to achieve their goals.
For example, let's return to Tina, Jerry's thoughtful daughter. She listed a number of very different concerns: social justice (prison labor), environmental protection (coal), and gender parity (women in leadership roles). These sound like very different issues, but you can map them back to just two kinds of goals.
Investors often have a strong sense of which companies are "good" and which are "bad" and want to own only the "good." This is one kind of goal, and it has a common solution: constructing the portfolio to filter out the "bad" companies according to an investor's principles and invest in only the "good" ones.
But sometimes what investors are really saying is that they want the "bad" companies they own to be better. This is a different goal, with a different potential solution: active ownership.
The first goal results in performance deviations between the portfolio, made up of only "good" companies, and the benchmark, composed of both "good" and "bad" companies. Of course, this deviation could be positive or negative, but investors like Jerry are typically focused on the potential for the latter. There are ways of addressing this—in particular, understanding exactly how many companies still qualify as "good" under Tina's criteria and how likely their performance is to differ from that of the "bad" companies. That's certainly a conversation worth having.
But an even better way to start the conversation is with the second goal: active ownership. It may be that Tina wants to influence the "bad" companies. In this case she needs to continue to hold them in the portfolio so she can vote on proposals to constrain greenhouse-gas emissions or call for new policies to diversify the board. She might even want to participate in filing a shareholder resolution to put new items on the board's agenda.
If everyone proceeds by simply trying to build a portfolio of only Tina's "good" companies, she might never have the opportunity to achieve her true goal. Furthermore, a screen could create unnecessary tension, with Jerry worrying about performance differences between Tina's "good" and "bad" companies.
Now, to be fair, active ownership isn't always a realistic solution. Shareholders might be able to encourage a coal company to pay more attention to worker safety or reduce pollution from operations, but they aren't going to turn it into a solar-power producer. Simply removing the company from the portfolio may actually be the best solution for Tina. But it may be that once the screen is precisely defined and analyzed, Jerry could gain more comfort with the potential impact on the portfolio.
The bottom line
Helping investors understand their options begins a conversation that bridges the gap between those focused purely on performance and those focused on incorporating ESG concerns into their investment portfolio. Ideally we want to use screens precisely and only when necessary and use active ownership when investors want to influence company behavior.

I just read somewhere that you can't build a relationship online. I definitely have a different opinion on this.
Of course you can build a relationship online. Think of all those dating sites like eharmony.com or plentyoffish.com, not to mention chat rooms and ads online. The advantage to using the internet for finding your soul mate is the amount of people using the internet. So instead of finding your mate in a big city of 1 million people, you are exposing yourself to hundreds of millions of people thereby increasing your odds of finding that right person. The internet also makes it easier to find people with common interests – meetup.com for example. People actually get married from these sites. I know of this first hand and you can ask me about it. 😉
A computer with internet is just another communicating medium, like a book, newspaper, phone or billboard but more like a communicating tool on steroids. You can talk or chat with it, video conference, email, share all kinds of media and information, buy stuff with it and on and on.
The three key words to building a relationship is "know, like and trust". The internet is a great tool to initiate a relationship; the "know" phase. Let's take dating for example. Asking someone out for the first time is really hard for a lot of people. The internet makes this a lot easier. You start by being anonymous in the beginning so that if it doesn't work out, it's not too harsh on your ego that you got dumped. If things progress you get to know that person by sharing more and more of yourself. You may even meet or at least talk on the phone. This is the like phase. Then you spend more time face to face which ultimately builds trust.
Speaking of trust, is it possible to build trust online? You bet, especially for the younger generation. Think of all the places you shop online. For you to plunk down your credit card to purchase something online you need to trust that store that they will not steal your identity or your money and they will provide the goods or services you paid for.
The older generation will definitely find it harder to buy online, although people have bought stuff from mail order places from long ago, which is more popular today due to the internet.
So in summary, you can build relationships online and I have living proof of this…my lovely wife of 12 years! 🙂 If people can find their soul mates online, you can surely use the internet to attract the right people from the BILLIONS of people out there to your network marketing business. The fun part is finding out who they will be. Could that be you?

Yes, this is a neologism. I made it up just the other day. It's a word that's needed, because what it names has existed for some time. It's the tourist equivalent of hate-watching.
What is hate-watching? It's watching something that you loathe, precisely because you loathe it. It's indulging in irritainment (entertainment that irritates you). It seems rather popular these days. People can download whole series on Netflix and sit there loathing every second and making snarky comments from the comfort of their couches or beds.
Well, you can't do spiteseeing from home.
It's not too likely that someone would plan a whole trip just to see something they despised. It's not inconceivable; indeed, I think A.A. Gill has made a minor practice of it just to fuel his entertaining subgenre of slasher travel writing. But usually if you go spiteseeing it will be an excursion or stopover on an otherwise enjoyable trip.
The example that came to my mind first was going to the Champs-Élysées while on a trip to Paris. It's infested with tourists and high-end chain stores; it's about the only place in Paris to find a Starbucks, and that Starbucks typically has a huge lineup. In Paris! The city of boulevard cafés where you can drink a grande crème and eat a croissant and watch the world walk by! Yes, spiteseeing is what you do, in the middle of a nice trip, to remind yourself that people are stupid and that you're vastly superior to them. You take a break from looking up at things to look down on things …and people.
Your choice of spiteseeing excursions will depend on your tastes. If you like high art, a famous tourist trap amusement park may be worth a day. If you like fine wine, some demotic jug-winery that tours people around in open-topped train-like bus-wagons may be worth a snicker with your swirl and spit (you may also enjoy hearing the people at the tasting bar next to you compliment the disgusting swill, which you are tasting just to remind yourself of how good the other wineries are). If you are skeptical of organized religion, a trip to Rome will not be complete without a visit to the Vatican (although, honestly, most of the grand attractions of Rome will have some spiteseeing potential for the truly dedicated anti-religionist). If you like fine dining, you could go to the McDonald's at the Spanish Steps in Rome, or, to really crank it up, if you're in Paris you could do what A.A. Gill did (him again!) and stop by L'Ami Louis. And wherever you are, if nothing else presents itself, you can find the nearest shopping mall. Unless you like shopping malls, of course.
Now, we may think of spite as referring to resentment, cultivated ill-will, and grudge; that is the most common sense today. In spite of that, however, it is still suitable for use anent sights with which you have no personal history. Spite, after all, is shortened from despite (the noun, from which our preposition today came), which in turn is from the Latin verb despicere, which gave us despise; despicere is de plus spicere, and means 'look down'. Not as in literally look down, of course, as for instance from the top of the Eiffel Tower; you may as readily look down on the Eiffel Tower, in the figurative sense, while standing level with its base (and some distance away, muttering to yourself about how long the lines are to get up).
Etymology does not determine present meaning, of course. But we still have the nice phrase in spite of, as in seeing it in spite of yourself, and viable usages in phrases such as just for spite. And it makes a nice play on words in spiteseeing.
Spite has an interesting mix of flavours. It can be refreshing and lively with its overtones of sprite, and it can be disgusting and disgusted in its taste of spit. It also calls to mind site, of course, which in this case may be unfortunate. Why unfortunate? Because it will reinforce the common reanalysis of sightseeing as site-seeing.
We use site now so often that many people assume that site-seeing is the word they have heard. But really it's originally sightseeing, as in seeing the sights; while that may seem tautological ("Is it possible to see sight?"), in this case a sight is something to be seen, something worth seeing, as in a sight for sore eyes and a sight to behold and so on. The sense of sight as something striking or remarkable dates from before AD 1000, although sight-seeing dates from only the early 1800s (when touring became a big thing). Site-seeing showed up first in the mid-1900s.
Now, of course, language changes and all that, and who knows but I may not be able to stem the tide of site-seeing (although it's still far less common), but to me a site is the plot of land that the sight I want to see is located on. Unless it's a gravesite, you know, or other historic site (e.g., "On the 15th of June, 1215, on this site was signed the Magna Carta") – in the latter case, it's the plot of land where something happened that's no longer there happening, it's just crowds of twits wandering around on the site looking for a sight that's not to be seen… it's not that there's no there there, it's that there's nothing but there there, and there's nothing there on the there, just dirt or concrete and gum someone happened to spit. So it's the sort of place you wander through out of pure spite, to look down on.

Jarryd is a Senior Horticulturist at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan undertaking turf, grassland and natural areas management.
Jarryd is a specialist in Turfgrass, a variety of grasses with unique characteristics such as fine leaf, low growing, and the abilitity to tolerate high traffic areas and low mowing heights.
The agronomy involved in managing these grasses is something Jarryd has always enjoyed and the result of finely manicured lawns still excites him.
His interest in grasses also stems to the whole Poaceae family. Grasses are versatile and have many uses from turf to habitat. Grasses are also the most economically important plant family as they provide foods such as cereal crops as well as forage and building materials.
The grass is greener but how?
Jarryd Kelly has played a major role in dramatically improving the quality of turf at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan.

Detroit Jazz Fest Goes Global(Published: August 17, 2010)
Today, organizers of the Detroit International Jazz Festival (DJF) unveiled a unique concept to share the 2010 festival with the world on DJF's Jazz Planet tv - an interactive web experience that will stream via the internet live and taped performances, news flashes, interviews and behind-the-scenes commentary throughout Labor Day Weekend, Sept. 3 - 6.
The mission of the project is to showcase Detroit as an important center for American music, to provide a unique platform for musicians to showcase to the world, and to reacquaint the mainstream with jazz through social media outlets.
In partnership with Show Ads Network, <b>Livestream.com and Detroit Public Television, DJF's Jazz Planet stage at Campus Martius will stream via the web what is cool about Detroit and in particular, Detroit Jazz Fest, in real time. Users around the globe - artists as well as fans - will be able to Skype, tweet and Facebook messages to fans, artists and media hosts in Detroit through <b>detroitjazzfest.com and DJF social media networks.
Viewers everywhere - from London to Afghanistan - will experience the uniqueness of one of the world's largest free jazz festivals, how it blends urban chic and a hip and diverse audience with some of the best music on the planet. "It will be fun, spontaneous, and capture the unique vibe of the festival that Russ Davis (Voice of America) described as "Jazz Disneyland" last year," says Festival Director Terri Pontremoli.
While 23% of the festival audience comes from out of state, DJF's Jazz Planet will entice millions of viewers and future supporters to DJF - attracting more sponsorship support and creating a buzz to attract newcomers, additional Detroit tourism, in subsequent years.
The project also offers another educational component for the festival, which already has significant partnerships with music students in area high schools and colleges. Through Show Ads Network's relationship with Specs Howard School of Broadcasting, apprentice video journalists will be engaged in this project. "DJF's Jazz Planet will be a place where students can capture behind the scenes action that can be woven into its daily streaming to the world - a winning combination for all," adds Sheldon Nueman, President & CEO of Show Ads Network.
The format of the programming allows artists to share some of their special projects - not only the performances - but what inspired and what went into their works, with hundreds of thousands of people on the web. This broad-ranging exposure may result in more performance opportunities and increased cd sales. "It not only showcases the greatness of Detroit and the Jazz Fest, but perhaps more importantly, nurtures the art form in ways we could only dream of a few years ago," added Pontremoli. "Outside of being here, it's the best seat on the planet!"
Visit detroitjazzfest.com/jazzp... for a sneak preview of what to expect Labor Day weekend.
About the Detroit International Jazz Festival
The Detroit International Jazz Festival is the largest free jazz festival in North America and a major tourist attraction for the City of Detroit, with 23 percent of its audience coming from out of state. It has a $90 million economic impact on Detroit and showcases the city in its most positive light. In 2010, the festival received support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Erb Foundation and the Kresge Foundation. Major corporate sponsors include Chase, Carhartt, Absopure, Mack Avenue Records, DTE Energy, Meijer, Budweiser, Pepsi, Comcast and Fox 2. Media sponsors include WEMU, WDET, WRCJ, Jacobs Media, CJAM, Metrotimes, Jazztimes, Downbeat, Jazziz, Jazzcorner.com and The Detroit Media Partnership.
In addition, there is a growing base of individual support. Fans are encouraged to become Rhythm Section members by making donations of any size on line over the next few months, as philanthropist Gretchen Valade will match any gift by 50 percent to help sustain the festival as a free event.

Seed Advocates Tap Twitter to Save Russian Seed Bank
BY Nancy Scola | Tuesday, August 10 2010
International seed advocates are making the most of the fact that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed up for a Twitter account during a recent tour of Silicon Valley. At issue is the possible destruction of the Pavlovsk seed bank outside St. Petersburg, home to more than 5,000 varieties of seeds. The Pavlovsk facility stands in the way of a proposed housing site, and so advocates for biological diversity are launching a campaign to get @KremlinRussia_E -- or, in other words, Medvedev, to step in:
It may be just a start. But if we can get enough tweets, we're hoping that someone at the Kremlin will take notice and help us save Pavlovsk Station and protect our food supply for future generations.
More on the threats to the Pavlovsk seed station here. Has the Russian president responded to the tweet campaign? Nyet, not yet.

Houghton was founded in 1836 by a syndicate of British Army Officers and name after the most senior of the three – Lieutenant Colonel Richmond Houghton. Houghton has built an enviable reputation shaping the Western Australian winemaking landscape. The Houghton Stripe range epitomises the flavoursome, vibrant style of Houghton.
The 2017 vintage in Western Australia was characterised by persistent warm and dry conditions. A return to healthy rainfall levels in the preceding winter and a wet, cool spring resulted in healthy vines carrying a slightly higher than average crop.
The Chardonnay grapes are harvested at night to maintain bright acidity and fruit freshness. The fruit is pressed, cold settled and racked while maintaining a level of turbidity to provide texture and complexity in the wine.
The wine is matured in French oak and lees stirring to impart toasty oak flavours and a creamy texture.
Pale straw in colour with tinges of gold. The nose displays primary fruit flavours of white peach and citrus with hints of hazelnut and brioche. Subtle toasted oak and vanilla spice provides interest to the aroma. On the palate fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours prevail on a creamy, softly textured palate with hints of hazelnut and vanillin derived from the extended yeast lees and oak maturation. The 2017 Houghton Chardonnay displays flavours of white peach and grilled hazelnuts with a flavoursome, creamy finish.
