You expect a lot from your carpet. Carpet must bear the brunt of muddy feet, family pets and everything else. Therefore, it is only logical that you hire a professional to clean the carpets. Are you aware of what to keep an eye out for in a professional carpet cleaner? The following paragraph will teach you just that.
Reputation is important in the carpet cleaning business. As with anything, there are some good businesses and some that are not so good. Talk to people you know to find out who they use, and go online to find out even more about a company. This will help you find a good company to clean your carpets.
Vacuum your carpet before cleaning it. Make sure to remove any loose dirt by vacuuming prior to having your carpets cleaned. Your carpets won't get clean if there is a lot of loose dirt laying around. A professional carpet cleaning can restore your carpet to its original state.
Professional carpet cleaners should know not to use too much heat on the carpet. Your carpet can suffer from severe damage, even more so if it is colorful or fragile. This is very important if you want to avoid permanent damage.
Beware of phone solicitation of carpet cleaning services. Likewise, don't hire a company that gives a "per room" rate. The reality is that room sizes can differ dramaticially. A reputable carpet cleaner bases their pricing on square footage.
You should talk with the carpet cleaner you hire and ask questions about the methods or products you can use to clean your carpet. They may let you know when to vacuum and what the best stain remover is. By taking what they say to heart, you should have a great looking carpet for many years to come.
Ask around for recommendations for a professional carpet cleaning company. You might even ask your secretary, store clerk, doctor or anyone local who may have some clue. Their advice may not be as trustworthy as that of your friend or loved one, however it is still quite valuable.
The carpets in your home are sort of like a professional, but without pay. You walk on them daily and they cannot clean themselves. Your home carpets deserve a cleaning that is professional. After reading these tips, you can find a great service at an affordable price.

Giăng 3:16
We are a community of people loving each other and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep this holly unity.
Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior and follow Him as the only Lord. Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16

I am in the studio, but currently working limited hours where I will follow up to go over project details and confirm timing. As a 1-person studio I am also following the Social Distancing Requirements and all health and safety recommendations.
Suitable for framing.
There's something really unique about watching your design transform from the pen or screen – to layers of ink being screen printed on paper one color at a time. Where in the end it becomes a tactile piece of art you can hold in your hands or is framed up on a wall. And where I understand budgets don't always allow screen printing to be used for every project, I will try to find ways to be efficient on various levels to allow this process to be a viable option for your project. And true to my word, I don't miss deadlines, never ever. Yup! Plus with more than 25 years of design experience, I can give you some tips to take advantage of screen printing techniques to enhance your project.
Please fill out the following screen print estimate form to get started:
I do not print on fabric.
Image Rights
Review the Ink Lounge Image Rights Policy to make sure your design can be printed at my studio.
Billing Process
Once an estimate is approved, a full invoice is submitted. If the project total is under $500.00, payment is due at project start to keep everything on schedule. If the project total is more than $500, then 50% of the total is required at project start with the remainder due on completion. All invoices are due before projects leave the studio.
Please Note: if a project is a rush, 100% of fees are due at start.
Colored Paper
The French Paper Company is the place to go for colored paper. It's a sixth-generation, family-owned paper mill, located on the banks of the St. Joseph River in Niles, Michigan U.S.A.
Great selection of colors and recommend either 80# or 100# cover.

Big Mountain has great customer service, knowledgeable technicians and run a great small business.
I have had multiple little issues with my HVAC, and they are the easiest to schedule and have had a great track record of fixing the problems.
Recently I had a coolant leak. I was a little upset when the leak was larger than expected and the $700 worth of refrigerant was gone before they came to repair. They acknowledged that it was a surprise to them and worked out a deal that made me a happy customer again. It's uncommon these days to deal with people that run a business with integrity, like Big Mountain.
They have made such a good impression that I am now a "lifelong" customer and going out of my way to write this review!

The Hills Drum Pendant Light was designed in 2016, and is made in New Zealand. Add a subtle statement to a space with the Hills Drum Pendant Light. At first glance this modern pendant light appears to be a simple design with a wood finished drum shade, however, when the light is turned on, the shade completely transforms to showcase a hidden pattern. The shade displays a charming design reminiscent of braided rivulets made by water running across sand or the folds in a hill. Suspended from a round, metal canopy by a single cord, this drum pendant light is ideal for use as a single fixture or grouped in multiples to create a dynamic display. This decorative pendant light casts a soft, ambient glow and direct light for use in bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms.

Despite the fact that the Apple Watch is yet to arrive, rumors about its successor already began circulating. According to a report by Reuters, future iterations of the wearable device will pack more sensors.
Citing people familiar with Apple's plans, the report reveals that future iterations of the device will offer richer health features. Apple Watch is currently set to measure activity via the iPhone's Wi-Fi and GPS.
The wearable has a built-in heart rate sensor, though its presence is hardly ground breaking. It was widely expected that Cupertino's newest product will truly stand out with its health and fitness features, especially after Apple launched HealthKit earlier this year.
I reckon that Apple has a way to go in getting the first generation of its timepiece onto the hands of customers before thinking how to pack its successor with more sensors. We are yet to find out vital facts about the Apple Watch, headed by its battery life. The latter is currently rumored to be about a day.

Build the Firewall
China's Great Firewall, the most massive state-run internet censorship program, is one of the technological wonders of the world. While most in the U.S. would immediately dismiss this censorship as tyranny against free speech, our own American internet is heavily censored.
China achieves this incredible feat of censorship with two processes, a team of tens of thousands of human workers who manually screen and scrub Chinese social media and an automated system that flags and prevents the publication of suspect social media posts until deemed appropriate by the state. Furthermore, entire websites, like Google and Facebook, are blocked from the Chinese web with a nationwide portcullis.
Behind the Great Firewall, mentions of the Tiananmen Square riots and Tank Man are heavily censored. It's almost impossible to find the iconic photograph without a VPN. More worrisome, disapproval of Xi Jinping's removal of term limits was so heavily censored that even the letter "N" was temporarily banned in the People's Republic. (A simple VPN can help you escape censorship – but not everyone uses a VPN.)
A study published in Science came to a simple conclusion. "Censorship in China is used to muzzle those outside government who attempt to spur the creation of crowds for any reason—in opposition to, in support of, or unrelated to the government." The study suggested that it was not the expression of opinions but the incitement of action that China actively censors.
Censorship is a little different here in "the greatest country on Earth." For example, we primarily rely on benevolent corporations to do our stifling. Those corporations, like Google and Facebook, come up with their own community standards to censor content. Those community standards are usually built from scratch to deter illegal activity, violence, pornography, harassment, and defamation as well as racial, religious, sexual, and gender-based discrimination. The enforcement of these standards, based on the concept of "protected groups," often leads to strange headlines like "Facebook's Secret Censorship Rules Protect White Men From Hate Speech But Not Black Children" – an interesting and nuanced read with an inflammatory clickbait headline.
But the main form of censorship in America is copyright infringement as hosting copyrighted content can come along with hefty DMCA fines. We feel that our freedom of expression gloriously saved the American internet from censorship when we shut down the contentious SOPA and PIPA bills. However, the shutdown of MegaUpload showed that the government can easily enforce IP law and censor the internet without the terms described in those two bills.
One of own benevolent overlords, Mark Zuckerberg, supported censoring incendiary posts when he defended his platform's policies by saying, "people will engage disproportionately with more sensationalist and provocative content." This propensity toward sensationalism should be clear to readers who have watched news and media evolve to the polarizing force that it is today. We have seen divisive, polarizing, and often false social media posts incite disturbed individuals to rash actions time and time and time again. Some people can't handle the power of social media.
We have seen political internet censorship used to dispel uprisings during the Arab Spring and more recently in Venezuela. These are the instances we normally think of when we imagine the downsides of internet censorship. However, I would argue that we could have benefited from a little political censorship during the run-up to the 2016 elections. Fake news articles, divisive and racially motivated memes, and coordinated, Russian state-funded attacks might have been stopped dead in their tracks with a little suppression by Uncle Sam.
Social media now stands as the most potentially divisive force on the planet. Russia has a track-record of weaponizing social media; this threat is mirrored by their intense social media censorship. We see that our internet platforms have some good reasons to censor the internet. This argument was stated 100 years ago by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: "The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic." The question now becomes whether we leave this power in the hands of corporations or instead in the hands of the government.
In the hands of corporations, platforms are not incentivized to censor inciteful material. Divisive statements are clickbait that stir unrest and even breed powerful echo chambers that become stable installed user bases for a platform. This perverse incentive prevents corporate censors of the internet from taking a stand against incendiary posts .
By simultaneously censoring all platforms within the country, China's internet censorship model destroys the echo chamber effect that has polarized American politics. This simply can't be achieved under America's current corporate censor model. For this reason, we should build our own great firewall.
We will be censored on the internet. We just need to decide who will be our censor.

Is Change Possible?
Is Change Possible?
How do we change, is not an easy question to answer, in fact, it becomes impossible to answer when we look at the concepts of Advaita.
There is nothing for us to change, according to the ancient Vedic scriptures that describe our absolute nature, we are already exactly how we are 'meant' to be, and even that is a misnomer, we simply are! Its a really difficult one to grasp, as we focus so much on the problem, the worry, the things we have done wrong and we believe that we had a choice in what was happening.
- Did you choose to lose your temper?
- Did you choose to get fat?
- Did you choose to feel depressed?
When we really look we will see that these things happened and we had no control over them, they just happened.
So how do people attempt to change?
People go to great lengths to create change in their lives.
We can change our hairstyle, our clothes, shoes, with relative ease and often not understanding that this desire to change our outward appearance is a deeper desire.
It's exhausting
As we begin to exhaust the personal attempts at change we move to include, changing our cars, our homes, our husbands and wives still believing that this next change will provide us with the 'movement' we so desperately seek.
Change is about movement and in the past 20 years we have all seen an increased amount of movement in the gaining of material assets and in how we change our appearances. Fashion items either clothing, home purchases or cars are made so that they can be used for a short period of time and then discarded or simply break down.
Little that we do or have to help us to change ourselves to fit into our world has lasting positive effects.
Many understand this intellectually
We know that lasting change does not come from materialistic gains but we are conditioned into believing that it does and this is so hard to unravel the belief system that holds onto this thinking. This thinking is called samskaras, patterns in the mind built over years of programming.
The change we desire and the movement we need to implement it is not in our outward world but in our internal selves. Here inside of us is where we need movement. The true gift of change comes through the pain of action. Actions to change ourselves comes from a willingness to understand the reasons why we don't change.
Actions are also doings
Knowing that it's not the actions that create the change, but your perceptions begin to shift.
Know who you are
You are not your actions, you are not your beliefs, you are a vessel that life is living through and that life energy is nothing and everything.
Linda Bretherton

Employers should start preparing now for anticipated changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 2016, as the Department of Labor has indicated that their final regulations will most likely be issued in July of next year. The FLSA anticipated changes include an increase to exempt employees' salary thresholds, an increase to "highly compensated" employees' salary thresholds, and implementing penalties to employers for misclassifying non-exempt employees as exempt. These changes will ultimately create an upsurge in employees who are eligible for overtime pay.
For more information on the DOL's proposed changes, please click here.

Friday, 4 October 2019 | 9.00-11.30 | Conference Centre Room 1
Today's cancer survival landscape is diverse: not every patient in Europe benefits in the same way. If every country did as well as Sweden, 270,000 additional cancer patients would live five years longer. Our hypothesis: a European Cancer Plan can drive such change towards better outcomes in cancer for citizens and patients in Europe.
This session aims to trigger the discussion about a European Cancer Plan by introducing a European Cancer Dashboard (to be developed during the discussion) with key-performance indicators, including survival, return to work and rehabilitation, progress, quality of care, expenditure and innovation.
The session will also provide a strategic perspective, leveraging European and national initiatives following the EU Presidencies, as well as individual cancer patient perspectives, and reflecting on provider challenges. The recently updated Comparator Report on patient access to cancer medicines in Europe – focussing on cancer incidence, mortality, expenditure and access in Europe – will set the context for the discussion.

Insights from FNB Agriculture Pre-Harvest briefing : Dawie Maree, Head of Information and Marketing at FNB Agriculture
Some years ago, renowned investor and commodities guru, Jim Rogers told Americans to learn how to drive a tractor if they want to become rich.
He predicted that stock brokers were going to be driving taxis. The smart ones will learn to drive tractors so they can work for the smart farmers. The farmers are going to be driving Lamborghinis.
However, a large part of South Africa's investment community has not been pressed to "learn how to drive a tractor". It is simply not the go-to sector for investments. The future profitability of the country's farmers has become a critical concern.
Various experts agree that this has to be fixed.
South Africa is currently one of 10 countries in Africa which is food secured, and one of the few countries that is a net exporter of food.
However, farming debt in 2017 amounted to more than R158bn and the cash flow position of farmers, especially in the grain producing areas of the country, has been deteriorating since 2014 and shows very little sign of improving.
According to the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), a major driver behind the current position of the agricultural sector is a lack of confidence.
Agribusiness confidence reflects future development in the sector based on the views of industry players on agricultural production, turnover, operating income, market share, employment, capital investment and export volumes, to name a few.
At times, there was more than simply a lack of confidence, there was despondency. It usually coincided with prolonged periods of drought where rainfall for the period has been below the average level of 500 mm.
Another issue which has become the elephant in the room is the adoption of the government's policy on land expropriation without compensation.
We have managed to get a lot of the emotions out of the way, and to make the debate more business-like. Farmers have come to the table and they are willing to take the issues forward, but there is still a lot of uncertainty.
Grain SA agrees that the agricultural sector had gone through "a bad patch of emotions", but believes things have calmed down.
If the impact of land reform is compared to the impact of profitability on our grain producers, profitability is probably a bigger threat than land reform.
If we are not planting all our hectares that are available, we will be short of the 11.5 million tons of maize that we need and prices will rise again to R4,500 per ton. We will be able to import, but it will cost us.
During the 2016 drought prices did increase to R4,500 per ton and although farmers were delighted, consumers and grain users in the agricultural value chain suffered. The challenge is to get funding for farmers to start planting again.
The average grain farmer borrows between R8m and R10m. He plants his seed and then he prays for rain. This is the risk facing farmers so that we can have food in the country.
We do not have a similar situation in SA as the insurance industry does not yet have capacity to fully insure parts of the country that are high risk, i.e. Western parts.
And in the eastern part, because of sufficient rainfall, farmers are not too keen to insure their crop for multi-peril insurance.
Following the 2016 drought, there have been preliminary discussions on the issue with government. One proposal was to look at a crop insurance scheme where government subsidises the premium to enable more farmers to insure their crops.
It has also been suggested that a part of the national budget allocation to agriculture should be earmarked for such a scheme.
Grain SA believes there are sufficient hectares available for production, whether it is grains, meat or fruits. However, the stumbling block is that those who do not own the land find it near impossible to get a loan from a commercial bank. Commercial banks remain the primary source of funding, with R97bn of the current R158bn of farming debt sitting with them.
Small holder farmers still find it challenging to reach their full potential, as they still can't access financing through the normal structures.
Offering loans to farmers who do not hold the title deeds remains a major risk. In terms of the Banks Act, and the National Credit Act, lenders have to look at affordability and the ability to repay (the loan).
At FNB, we are in the process of looking to into options to establish a fund with own resources, but also with development funds from the international community, to assist farmers without security.
As the financial sector we need to ensure that everybody gets financing at a reasonable rate that allows them to be profitable. We need to re-engineer our financial models. This includes developing more complex credit structures to have blended finance to help with access to markets, skills and funding.
Blending finance is broadly seen as the combination of official development assistance with private or public resources, generally with the aim of leveraging development finance from other players.
As small holder farmers get upskilled their yields will improve. We must be able to move the produce – either by having a growing domestic market or by looking for markets elsewhere.
The UK offers new opportunities – if they ever leave the European Union – and South Africa is setting its sights on the East and especially China. However, the deciding factor for entry is safe food. Therefore, issues such as bio-security, traceability and compartmentalising are becoming critical.

Most ants behave in predictable patterns by how they nest and forage for food, which makes it a little bit easier for you to find and treat the pests yourself. But some ant species can be tough to locate and eradicate, including crazy ants. Crazy ants are invasive species that wreak havoc outside and inside your home, including your electronic devices. If you notice strange ants misbehaving in your home or on your property, take immediate steps to treat them.

Planting a vegetable garden can be rewarding but can take up a great deal of your time. When you invest so much of your time into growing a successful garden, you want it free of damaging pests and insects. Here are two types of garden pests that can cause damage to your garden plants, and what you can do to protect your garden from them. Squash Bugs If you grow a vegetable garden containing pumpkins, cucumbers, squash, melons, or other plants with similar vines, stems, and leaves, your plants are at risk of being eaten and damaged by squash bugs.

If your home sits nestled among tall ash trees, you likely reap many environmental and economic benefits -- from lower utility bills to insulation from road noise. However, a single invasive insect could be the catalyst for an emerald ash borer infestation that could damage or even kill your trees over a brief period of time. How can you tell whether your trees are in danger? What can you do to eradicate these pests and maintain the health of your ash trees?

Bed bug infestations are no joke. They can be extremely difficult to eradicate, especially if you don't undertake the services of a qualified exterminator. Just the thought of bed bugs is enough to send some people into an itchy furor as if they can feel them creepy-crawling around on the sly. Much as with any other battle, knowing your enemy is half the fight. In this article, you'll learn some of the strangest and most interesting facts about these tiny little bed denizens--helping you to prevent or treat them should they occur.

As a homeowner, you are probably familiar with the various tasks necessary to keep your home functional, appealing, and valuable. Unfortunately, you may be one of the many homeowners who do not place effort into pest prevention and control. Since certain species of termites can quickly grow into a large colony of 500,000, understanding the initial signs of an infestation is smart to protect your home. A termite infestation can quickly wreak havoc on your home, so prevention is key, but prevention can be difficult.

Many property managers believe that ongoing pest control contracts are not necessary. After all, what's the difficulty in buying a few rat traps if a problem arises? Surely, they think, it's a waste of money to pay every month for maintenance against a problem that doesn't yet exist. Unfortunately, this is ultimately proved foolish thinking when rats get a foothold on their property. If you are a wise manager, you don't want to learn the hard way that, when it comes to rats, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Imagine yourself moving a bookcase away from a wall and seeing a pile of sawdust on the floor, along with some winged insects. Are they flying ants or termites? If there is no apparent damage, you might be tempted to simply sweep or vacuum them up and forget about it. If you have either a carpenter ant or a termite problem, however, ignoring it and hoping it will go away is probably the worst thing you can do!

If you've been following agricultural or economic news over the last few years, you may have heard that declining bee populations are worrying scientists and lawmakers. Without bees and other pollinators to fertilize plants, it becomes virtually impossible to sustain agricultural production levels, which will cause food prices to rise significantly. However, the need to protect local bee populations doesn't mean you have to simply allow destructive carpenter bees to bore holes into your siding, decking, or outdoor furniture.

Pesticide Action Network
On Feb. 21, more than 60,000 people urged the new Director of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) on his first day on the job to take action on cancer-causing pesticide methyl iodide. Representatives of environmental, health and farmworker organizations as well as tens of thousands of individuals urged Director Brian Leahy to repair the image of the tarnished department, criticized for ignoring science and failing to protect public health, by reversing the Schwarzenegger administration's controversial approval of the strawberry pesticide.
"Director Leahy must show his commitment to public health and scientific integrity by immediately suspending all uses of methyl iodide and reversing the approval of this cancer-causing fumigant," said Susan Kegley, PhD, consulting scientist for Pesticide Action Network. "In addition, he should support long-term efforts to partner with farmers and sister state agencies, to help transition away from pesticide fumigants and invest in healthy, sustainable agriculture."
Leahy, a former organic farmer and assistant firector of the Division of Land Resource Protection at the California Department of Conservation takes office after an eleven-month vacancy in the position of the state's chief pesticide regulator. He comes to office more than one year after the approval of methyl iodide—in December 2010, DPR approved the use of methyl iodide, ignoring concerns voiced by both a panel of independent scientists and the agency's staff scientists. One independent scientist has called it "one of the most toxic chemicals on earth," citing research that methyl iodide causes cancer, late-term miscarriages and contaminates groundwater.
More than 200,000 scientists, farmers, farmworkers, environmentalists and other members of the public sent comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last May urging the federal agency to listen to the science and ban the pesticide nationally. Washington State used California's research to reject methyl iodide, and federal regulators have suggested that they are waiting on California in order to determine their next steps.
"Farmworkers are on the frontlines of pesticide exposure," said Maria Machua, spokesperson for United Farm Workers. "California's steps have immediate and direct impacts on the health and safety of farmworkers and their families living in the state, and sets precedence for farmworkers living across the country."
The petition signatures were gathered over the past two weeks, following news of Leahy's appointment, by a coalition of scientist, farmworker and environmental organizations, including the United Farm Workers, Pesticide Action Network, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Center for Environmental Health, Change.org, Pesticide Watch, Worksafe and the coalition Californians for Pesticide Reform.
"This is an opportunity for a new day at DPR. Previous directors have all too often caved to industry pressure and rubber-stamped pesticides instead of safeguarding health and promoting a vibrant agricultural system," said Tracey Brieger, co-director of Californians for Pesticide Reform. "Sticking to the science and promoting safe alternatives will reduce pesticide use, protect children's health and support climate-friendly agriculture. With strong leadership, Leahy can make DPR an engine of innovation, economic stability and improved safety."
California leads the country in organic farming with more than 430,000 acres in production and average annual growth of 15 percent. In his new role, Director Leahy has a significant opportunity to work with growers and find opportunities to reduce pesticide use, promote organic production and strengthen California's vibrant agricultural economy.
In the first days of the Brown administration, Californians for Pesticide Reform, a coalition of more than 185 health and environmental organizations, submitted, a platform for pesticide. Healthy Children & Green Jobs: A Platform for Pesticide Reform outlines priority recommendations for how the Brown administration and Leahy can protect health and ensure the success of agriculture in California, including taking action on methyl iodide.

California Farm County Says No to Methyl Iodide
Beyond Pesticides
Last week, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors urged California Gov. Jerry Brown to reconsider the state's approval of the carcinogenic fumigant methyl iodide. Monterey County, one of the largest agricultural counties in California, joins Santa Cruz County in mounting pressure to re-examine the controversial decision to approve the toxic chemical as a replacement to the ozone-depleting methyl bromide. This news comes at the heels of the announcement earlier this month that Gov. Brown appointed Brian Leahy, a former organic farmer and the former assistant director at the California Department of Conservation, to head the state Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR).
According to The Californian, agricultural interests present asked County Supervisors to take no action. However, with dozens of local farm workers in attendance pleading their case, the board passed the resolution on a 4-1 recommending that Gov. Brown take another look at the fumigant.
Methyl iodide is known to cause miscarriages, thyroid dysfunction, and cancer, and is applied to crops like strawberries and peppers. It was approved by California state pesticide regulators in December as an alternative to methyl bromide, an ozone-depleting chemical being phased out under international treaty.
In 2007, EPA fast-tracked the registration of methyl iodide for use as a soil fumigant, despite serious concerns raised by a group of over 50 eminent scientists, including six Nobel Laureates in Chemistry. These scientists sent a letter of concern to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) explaining, "Because of methyl iodide's high volatility and water solubility, broad use of this chemical in agriculture will guarantee substantial releases to air, surface waters and groundwater, and will result in exposures for many people. In addition to the potential for increased cancer incidence, EPA's own evaluation of the chemical also indicates that methyl iodide causes thyroid toxicity, permanent neurological damage, and fetal losses in experimental animals." The letter concludes, "It is astonishing that the Office of Pesticide Programs (of EPA) is working to legalize broadcast releases of one of the more toxic chemicals used in manufacturing into the environment."
Several environmental groups sued the State of California last year in an attempt to reverse the state's approval of the chemical. Environmental advocacy groups and other opponents of methyl iodide use in the state have released documents detailing dissension in the ranks of DPR over the risk assessment of methyl iodide and its subsequent approval.
The ongoing court case helped reveal documents showing DPR manipulated data and that department scientists were worried risk managers minimized health dangers and didn't take strong enough steps to mitigate the threats. One of the released documents, a memo from one disapproving DPR scientist, chastised the agency for its cut-and-paste approach to calculations determining how big buffer zones should be to protect public health. During a hearing on Jan. 13, a California Superior Court Judge raised concerns about whether CDPR complied with its legal obligation to consider alternative options before approving the use.
Methyl iodide poses the most direct risks to farmworkers and those in the surrounding communities because of the volume that would be applied to fields and its tendency to drift off site through the air. Methyl iodide causes late term miscarriages, contaminates groundwater, and is so reliably carcinogenic that it's used to create cancer cells in laboratories. It is on California's official list of known carcinogenic chemicals and has been linked to serious risks in reproductive and neurological health. It is approved to be applied to California's strawberry fields at rates up to 100 pounds per acre on much of the state's 38,000 acres in strawberry production, totaling millions of pounds of use. Though methyl iodide will likely be used primarily on strawberries, it is also registered for use on tomatoes, peppers, nurseries, and on soils prior to replanting orchards and vineyards.
Organic certification standards require crop farmers to establish a preventive pest management strategy based on crop rotation, variety selection, biological controls, and sanitation and fertility practices. Synthetic materials that are allowed in organic crop production must satisfy a rigorous review process to insure their necessity, efficacy and safety to humans and the environment throughout their production and utilization. This review process must be updated every five years for the material to remain in use. A journal article from 2010 shows that organic farms produce more flavorful and nutritious strawberries while leaving the soil healthier and more biologically diverse than conventional strawberry farms. For more information on organic versus conventional agricultural practices, see Beyond Pesticides' guide, Organic Food: Eating with a Conscience as well as our organic program page. In addition to the personal health risks posed by pesticide residues, Beyond Pesticides urges consumers to consider the impacts on the environment, farmworker and farm families' health when making food choices.

Mobile food vendors have been dabbling in the genres of medieval fantasy and even explosive action these days. But, if the Parks Department has its way, we're likely going to see more of them doing period pieces.
According to DNAinfo, the city is looking to place vendors with a "Victorian-era" look to their carts on Central Park's Cherry Hill. Not that the menu should be Victorian. The RFP specifically stated "high quality, yet affordable" foods with some healthy options. So, no need to get specific with nine-course meals featuring roasted meats, jam and jellies, and cakes. That would be just silly.

In line with the decisions being taken by the authorities to contain the spread of COVID-19, OtherMovie Lugano Film Festival has had to postpone its 9th edition, the safety of all being an absolute priority in the current sanitary situation. The team is considering alternative dates that will be announced at a later stage and stands in solidarity with other festivals and actors of the cultural sector, especially affected by the situation.
The competitions remain open normally and you must follow the expiration dates of the competitions prolonged. The date of the event and provisional. All received films are processed and selected according to the Festival regulations. We keep you informed for the new dates of the Festival.
Thanks so much.
The team of OtherMovie Lugano Film Festival
The theme of the 2020 edition:
OtherMovie 2020 - Ecology | Sustainability | Climate
Destruction or human distraction?
Leading in some areas and lagging behind in others, the issues relating to ecology, sustainability, and climate change are hotly debated in Switzerland, too.
For its ninth edition, OtherMovie seeks to investigate its main points, starting from the assumption – to be refuted during the festival – that few issues so intimately link us to the world as the production and disposal of waste. We will tackle concerns relating to environmental, social and economic sustainability. There will be the chance to understand how the issue is dealt with in other countries, whether there are alternative solutions that could also be interesting for our context and, conversely, which interventions and collaborations Switzerland implements towards other areas to tackle this problem.
And more: do the various foreign communities living in Switzerland have a different approach when it comes to the environment? Can sustainability become the Swiss value that brings everyone together?

Who we are
We are a non-profit working group promoting, from Lugano and right across the Italian part of Switzerland, the art of film making in its multifarious nuances and components.
OtherMovie Lugano Film Festival aims to act as a cultural bridge between East and West whilst lending visibility to quality art house cinema.
Why OtherMovie?
The choice of calling it "OtherMovie" reflects the desire to offer its audience a "different" film festival from what is currently on offer in festivals across Ticino and the rest of Switzerland.
The name "OtherMovie" is the final act which lends visibility to a more structured concept that shifts the perspective from where to view the festival.
"Other/Different" because , while the festival is indeed an window on movies, it wishes to use first of all this noble art to discuss and publicize current issues that touch - across a broad spectrum upon our society, times and every culture.
What makes OtherMovie
OtherMovie is:
• An intercultural platform where different cultures meet.
• An'"Agora" (i.e. a meeting place) where current affairs are discussed.
• A lab where movies open up towards other art forms thereby finding the ideal dimension in which to express their own interpretation of current affairs.
• A network of artists and experts who come together in order to reach a greater and better understanding of our society.
• A socially-engaged cultural operator who builds bridges: between East and West, North and South. In our view, art unites different worlds.
The OtherMovie format
OtherMovie's format defines its very essence:
• The yearly choice of a current affairs theme around which the entire list of events is developed.
• Movies, talks, workshops, concerts, photo exhibitions, performance art and other are scheduled on the basis of the theme of each edition.
• Co-operation with local and international artists, experts and cultural operators.
• Presentation of related events during the year in conjunction with other cultural operators and partners.
The themes so far:
In its first five editions, OtherMovie has put forward the following themes:
2012: "Zero" edition, with disability issues as its main topic
2013: Childhood and Adolescence
2014: Art and Femininity
2015: Freedom of Being
2016: Transitions and Migrations
2017: Violence (un)veiled
2018 EconomicaMente"
2019 "Quo Vadis Familia"
The editions so far: facts and numbers
OtherMovie has managed to grow over the first five editions and gain the respect of film lovers thanks to its themes, the wide range of movies shown and the events it has organized. Here are some significant numbers that mark its success:
• Overall number of spectators per edition: 1000
• Overall number of movies shown per edition: 80 (feature films, shorts and documentary films)
• Overall number of participating countries per edition: 27
• Overall number of festival partners per edition: 10 (Swiss and international).
OtherMovie and the media
OtherMovie has its own website www.othermovie.ch and may be found on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).
Furthermore, throughout the year OtherMovie gets visibility on the local and international press with various articles, interviews and in advertorials.
We are also active across Ticino all year round by offering our own 'spin-off' events or working in conjunction with other local associations. We get radio space too, particularly during the festival which is covered by local radio stations as well as by the state one (RSI – Radiotelevisione svizzera).

With the recent media saturation regarding the "prison crisis", there is hopefully a communal sense that this cannot go on. But how can we reverse the degradation of the institutions that are responsible for housing those that have hurt society? How can we make sure that, when they are released, ex-prisoners are rehabilitated and become useful to their communities? It is not enough to just hope that a 'long-enough' stint in a 'bad-enough' place is going to mean that the guy who stole your car last week will not do it again the moment he gets released. Something human has to happen in between. People have to change.
For a long time, prisoners have been taking advantage of, or trying to cope with, the fact that the wings of our prisons are understaffed, overcrowded and increasingly sinister. With a handful of staff expected to control and care for 120 guys who all have anger, trust, substance and psychological issues (to name just a few), we are presented with great institutions that have been reduced to little more than warehouses for the damaged and damaging. So what would make a difference?
Education and safety are not values in an either/or equation. They go hand in hand. Prisoners' Education Trust (PET) research has found that those who engage in higher-education courses are between 5 and 8 percentage points less likely to reoffend. The trouble is, meaningful education gets sidelined in times of crisis. At times like this, prisoners spend more time behind doors and have less exposure to the sort of interactions that allow someone to find the reasons to turn their life around.
Understanding potential
We already know, as academics and policymakers, that providing the tools for people to find out what they can give to society is imperative in helping them to lead law-abiding lives. Getting a job and being able to read and write are all really important. Prisons have the highest concentration of illiterate men in our country. So teaching them how to read and write is a start, but this is only the start for the guys who cannot read. The next step is to understand their potential. Focus their minds on something that would ultimately benefit the entire community and we would see people in prison wanting to achieve something good, as opposed to trying to get away with whatever they can. We'd see people leaving prisons with a goal in life – a reason to stay out of prison. What is more, we'd see the transformation of prisons themselves. We'd have more focused places – ones that have an air of people moving towards being kinder and more constructive.
PET has for years recognised this important distinction between simply installing literacy and numeracy, and how a deeper, more personalised education can be transformative to both prisoners and the people they'll ultimately influence after custody. There are countless studies showing the impact of higher education on allowing a person to move forward from crime, yet in times of crisis, these solutions are often the first to be sidelined or scrapped altogether.
Higher education transforms people. I wish you could see the passion of guys who have, in many cases, committed the most awful crimes when they have become engrossed in an economic studies or art history module. These men are not devils. These are not the people who want to hurt their communities. They want to be part of it.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Desistance literature backs up my personal experience of what helps a person to change their way of life. Professor Shadd Maruna's Making Good tells us that the investment a person has in society will be a particularly strong factor in whether they feel and act responsibly towards it. To grow up in a world in which you feel like the rules, and the benefits of following the rules, aren't really meant for you, leads to not caring about the people you share this world with. It leads to you not ever considering that you could be a valuable part of the world. When education is good, when it is meaningful, it has all the components someone needs to move away from crime. Engaging in subjects critically, understanding the complex nature of the world and realising that what you think and feel is important to doing something powerful in society, is part of this and this is the very essence of education.
A quote from Martin Luther King highlights what needs to be done to right the wrongs: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." Although there is an array of different people in our prisons, from all walks of life, there is no doubt that the disillusioned and desperate make up the majority of its population. For people who have felt like they have been living on the fringes of society, felt like they have been living in darkness, further darkness will not convince them to be nicer to people when they are released. People who are forced to live in shadows can become adept at doing so. Education is a way back into the light, a way of understanding what it means to be part of the world and a way of learning what is at stake when people are not.

It is worth mentioning that the Namaqualand Spring flowers are by no means a guaranteed phenomenon. The flowering of the sometimes masses of spring flowers in an endless profusion of colours and scents is something we all want to see but this phenomenon is reliant on the timorous arrival of the late winter to early spring rains and the non-arrival of the hot, dry Berg winds that can sweep down from the north drying out and desiccating the new growth and buds of the myriad of annuals and perennial flowering shrubs.
We do whatever we can to find the flowers using modern technology as well as the all-important local knowledge of the folks on the ground. It is never guaranteed but when it is does, as it so often happens, it is so spectacular that it will remain with you forever.
The spring flowers only open on warm sun filled days with a minimum temperature of around 17 degrees centigrade. This is the same temperature that is needed for the bees to become active. The result of this phenomenon is that it is really only worthwhile starting to look for the flowers from around 9 o'clock in the morning. This also gives us a good time to get to the most favourable areas before optimum conditions prevail. The flowers generally start to close up again from around 4 to 4.30 pm depending on the daily temperatures and hours of sunlight.
Day 1, Night 1
Port Elizabeth – Oudtshoorn
8:30 am pick up from your place of residence in Port Elizabeth.
Setting out west along the N2 we branch off after approximately 100 km's onto the R62 (Route 62) through the Langkloof, a picturesque, long and wide valley renowned for its deciduous fruit and neatly laid out orchards and worked by the colourful decedents of the Khoikhoi and local farmers.
If spring is the season of the fruit tree blossoms then we might just be in time to see the orchards at their very best decked out in their spring whites and pinks. Keep an eye out for the occasional field of Watsonia's in bloom as we head into the interior. This route has a number of farm stalls and places of interest where we can stop if time allows. Lunch on the road
We finally leave the R62 to turn north, and arriving in the Little Karoo after traveling over a low range of mountains. As we enter the open plains we will increasingly come across many ostrich farms something our first overnight stop is world famous for and is known as the Ostrich capital of the world.
Oudtshoorn was founded on the back of the booming Ostrich feather fashion industry when it became high fashion for ladies to where intricate feather hats topped with the ostrich plumes and convoluted feather boas around their necks and shoulders. It has been said that a single fine feather could pay for one's passage back to England. Good old days that came to the end with the advent of the motor car and the First World War.
Here we check into our comfortable accommodation for the night, take our evening meal at one of the many fine restaurants in town and get a peaceful nights rest in the healthy atmosphere
provided by the Karoo.
Overnight guesthouse, lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

Oudtshoorn – Darling
We wake early for a hearty breakfast before checking out and packing up as we continue west after re- joining the R62. We pass through Calitzdorp the centre of the fortified wine industry with the excellent Ports and Sherries produced and available at their vineyards.
On to Montague and country farms stalls bulging with dried fruit and sweet Raisins. Here we cross through stunning mountain scenery as we drive in the shadows of the Langeberg and Waboomsberg mountain ranges.
This is the heart of the South African wine and fruit producing country, on through to Worcester in the Hex river valley at the base of the looming peaks of the Hex river mountains the second tallest in the country and finally dropping down to the coastal lowlands as we head for the small centre of Darling for our overnight accommodation, a superb meal and a refreshing night sleep, after a long day in this eclectic little town
Overnight guesthouse, lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast
Day 3, Night 3
Darling – Paternoster
Darling is a small somewhat historic centre situated about 20 kilometres from the West coast national Park, it is an interesting centre of the arts and it is here that the South African satirist Pieter Dirk Uys performs many of his shows as Evita Bezuidenhout at Eva Perron a cabaret venue in the town.
We wake early for a hearty breakfast before taking to discover the secrets of Darling before heading out to the West Coast National Park to see what flowers can be found in this little gem of a national park situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.
We continue our travels onto Langebaan lagoon where take lunch at an outdoor seafood restaurant on the sandy beach overlooking the deep blue of the lagoon.
After a traditional lunch we set out further north searching for flowers along the way as we make for our next overnight stop at a quaint fishing village on the West coast.
On arrival we check in and make our way to one of the local restaurants for our evening meal before returning to our accommodation and a peaceful nights rest
Overnight guesthouse, lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast
Day 4, Night 4
Paternoster – Nieuwoudtville
Armed with local knowledge we depart to explore the area to locate where the best flowers in the region can be found. Stopping along the way to admire what the bounty of spring has provided us with whilst traversing the Highways and byways of this picturesque area.
We continue north with the aim of visiting Clanwilliam a small west coast centre where they hold the annual spring flower show in the local N.G. Kerk (Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk [Church])
This is a stunning display of indigenous flowers collected and displayed by the communities of the Clanwilliam.
After visiting this special event we continue traveling north, entering Namaqualand and making our way to our up and onto the escarpment to our overnight accommodation on a guest farm outside Nieuwoudtville.
Overnight guesthouse, lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast
Day 5, Night 5
Nieuwoudtville – Beaufort West
After a full breakfast we check out and pack up before heading back away from Namaqualand as we start our return journey, traveling east into the interior of the country through the Great Karoo, that dry hot place so named by the early Khoikhoi people and once inhabited by the hardy and resilient Bushmen.
Here the spectacle of the spring flowers gives way to flowering Karoo bossies (small Karroid shrubs) that spread like a threadbare carpet over the arid plains that are so characteristically interrupted by flat topped mountains and hills.
Relief from the long, often dead straight roads are at times provided by small typical Karoo towns and welcome roadside farm stalls which with enough time we are able to visit.
We stop for lunch along the way before making for our final overnight accommodation stop, in the very heart of the Great Karoo, Beaufort West.
On arrival we check into our historical guesthouse / lodge overlooking the vast plains of the Karoo and if time allows take a walk in the veld (field) to breath the fresh Karoo air, do some game spotting from the slopes and some bird watching.
We meet up back in the lodge dining room for a delicious; Karoo flavoured evening meal before a peaceful nights rest in this quite place in the Karoo.
Overnight guesthouse, lunch, dinner, bed and breakfast

Thanks to that illegal art collection I mentioned back here, I came across this musician person, Vicki Bennett, who goes by the name of People Like Us. A description of the sound: like Julie Andrews and the rest of the Sound of Music family were repalced with electronic replicants who keep glitching and segfaulting. "The H-h-h-h-Hi-hi-hi-hillzz-zzz-zz-zzzzz-z–z are-are-are-are-are….." etc. Another description is a crazy person got hold of your 45s, your parents' LPs and your grandparents' 78s, smashed them all up with a hammer and glued all the bits back together higgledy-piggledy.
I really like it, I like it a lot, but listening to a more than half an hour in one go is like when you and a couple of friends decide to twirl around on the spot all lunchtime, and it goes pretty well but once you stop you feel kind of sick for the rest of the afternoon.
People Like Us' latest album, Abridged Too Far, is completely available on the internet and only available on the internet.
I have a lot of respect for philosophies like this – (from the downloads page)
"We strongly believe in the power of profit through free distribution, and the publicity that comes along with that – so we are putting our money where our mouse is. Often people have never heard of an artist because they aren't being distributed through as many channels as they should be, due to the very poor state of music/media distribution for non-major label music coupled with ignorance of the way that avant garde art forms infiltrate mainstream culture. Also many prints of a work are allowed to go out of circulation or are deleted for no reason other than cost effectiveness by a label/publisher. This makes perfect sense financially, but no sense whatsoever that a year's work by an artist should also disappear for such reasons. So get all of this while you can, and we completely endorse getting one's work out there, no matter what. If you don't share, your profit is limited."
An added bonoid of these clicks was running across Ubuweb, which is a large audio archive of old excellent poetry, weird stuff and they even re-anchored the 365 days project from last year, so all that stuff is easily getable again! Bingo! Ubuweb, I love you.
I think Tony might've had a link to this ages ago but I just came across it last night. The Demotivators Collection I think, of all the people on my link-list, Cybbis would like these the most.
Some of the lines are pretty damn sharp, in fact I'm going to pinch a couple for the random.txt here.
Defeat: for every winner, there are dozens of losers, odds are you're one of them.
Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
Stupidity: Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
Insanity: It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be. Especially when you're insane.
On that last one I read a Charlie Manson quote in a magazine, "You know, a long time ago being crazy meant something. Nowadays, everybody's crazy". Right on Charlie.

August 25th 2006
Label: Frontiers Records
Provided by: Zink Music
Distribution: Bonnier Amigo
Website: -
Style: AOR / Melodic
Hard Rock
Cover artwork rating: 45/100
Reviewed by: Peter Laursen
Date: August 1st
A few weeks ago Frontiers Records re-released Fair
Warning's first two albums plus a concert DVD and now it's
time for a brand new album from this German Melodic Rock band. We
are treated with 13 songs; one of them is a bonus track for the
European market called "Still I Believe" and this new release
is filled with a mix of AOR and Melodic Hard Rock.
I must admit that I usually find AOR too soft but
there is first class Hard Rock to be found here as well and even
the softer side of Fair Warning is a pleasant surprise.
Unpretentious Melodic Rock music is what the guys offer us here.
Very accessible and catchy, but never sappy.
It took me a few spins to get use to the softer
tracks but songs like "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "Rainbow
Eyes" and the bonus track "Still Believe" is AOR heaven. But my favourite tracks are
"Don't Keep me Waiting", "The Way", "Tell me Lies",
"In the Dark" and "Generation Jedi". All first class
Melodic Hard Rock songs that very well could appeal to both AOR
and Hard Rock fans and even Metal fans.
in all a nice and solid piece of work from this German band - the
productions is alright and let's see what they can come up with
in the future.
Warning has already announced their participation to some
festivals throughout
Europe including the second edition of the United Forces of Rock
festival in
in Germany.
A full European tour is planned for late 2006 / early 2007.

Two of the start-of-season pace makers face off at King Power Stadium on Sunday night, with Aston Villa looking to maintain their 100% winning record against Leicester
Villa's 7-2 loss to Liverpool ahead of the international break was one of the most astonishing results in Premier League history Dean Smith's side also valued the three points just like in previous wins against Sheffield United and Fulham
Liverpool hat-trick hero Ollie Watkins appears to have filled the goal gap at the center-forward, and Villa now has plenty of creativity behind thanks to Jack Grealish, Ross Barkley and John McGinn
Smith will also have been delighted with the back-to-back white sheets his side have kept against Sheffield United and Fulham, especially since they failed to record back-to-back shutouts last season
Leicester are also on nine points heading into this game, although they were largely beaten by West Ham in their previous outing
Brendan Rodgers will nonetheless be delighted with how his side have started the campaign, although there are a couple of concerns about their defensive stability
On the bright side, Leicester have scored 12 goals in four games so far, a tally equaled by Tottenham and Everton but improved per person
Rodgers will have to do without long-time absent Ricardo Pereira again for Sunday's clash, with the right-back due to be back next month
James Maddison is fit enough to show up after slight calf strain, but Dennis Praet could miss a knee complaint Elsewhere, Daniel Amartey and Wilfred Ndidi stay on the sidelines for the Foxes
Villa has no new injury issues after the international break, although Wesley, Bjorn Engels, Tom Heaton and Kortney Hause remain out
Smith could be tempted to stick with the XI that last dismantled Liverpool, as Villa seeks their first league win at King Power Stadium (née Walkers) since a 4-0 triumph in 2004

Hot Sluts Of The Day!
The Green and Brown M&M who may have come out as gayelle lovahs two years ago and none of us knew! (Apologies to those of you who have been shipping the lesbian M&M couple for years and are highly offended by me saying you didn't know about this IT couple of the decade!)
During Gay Pride Month in 2015, M&M's official Twitter account tweeted a picture of Ms. Green and Ms. Brown holding hands as the gentle ocean breezes caressed their floating brows. Ms. Green M&M, who wrote the caption, said that she and Ms. Brown were sharing a quiet moment away from those pesky other tricks. Green and brown are the warmest colors.
It's rare Ms. Brown and I get to spend time together without some colorful characters barging in. – Ms. Green
That two-year-old tweet made the rounds this week, and as far as I know, Ms. Green and Ms. Brown haven't said anything about it since. In the long-running docu-series about the lives of M&Ms (aka M&Ms commercials), Mr. Red, Mr. Yellow and Mr. Blue are always fighting over Ms. Green and she kind of flirts back. She's also been romantically linked to some of them. Maybe Ms. Green is bi, or maybe all M&Ms are poly pansexuals? Who knows, but I do know that the love lives of M&Ms are more interesting than mine (that's not saying much, though) and I also know that I support it. And now I better end this post before I start writing M&M fanfic about an orgy that ends with Mr. Yellow nutting on them all.
