Ahead of USDA's report, corn futures were trading 1 to 2 cents higher, soybeans were narrowly mixed, wheat futures were mostly 2 to 6 cents higher and cotton futures were mixed, with old-crop contracts mildly lower and new-crop contracts slightly higher.
In reaction to the report, corn futures are still trading 1 to 2 cents lower, soybeans are also down a penny or two, SRW wheat futures are mixed, HRW futures are 1 to 3 cents lower, spring wheat futures are mostly 1 to 3 cents lower and cotton futures remain narrowly mixed, with most contracts favoring the downside.
Corn: 14.420 billion bu.; trade expected 14.532 billion bu.
Beans: 4.544 billion bu.; trade expected 4.569 billion bu.
USDA cut its corn crop estimate 206 million bu. from November on a 2.5-bu. cut to the national average corn yield (176.4 bu. per acre) and a 27,000-acre cut to harvested corn acres. At 14.420 billion bu., the corn crop is also 112 million bu. below the average pre-report trade estimate.
Looking at the state-by-state corn yield estimates, increases from November occurred in North Dakota (up 7 bu., to 153 bu. per acre). Yields were unchanged from November in Illinois (210 bu. per acre). Yield cuts from November were estimated in Indiana (down 5 bu. to 189 bu.), Iowa (down 2 bu., to 196 bu.), Kansas (down 1 bu. to 129 bu.), Michigan (down 13 bu. to 153 bu.), Minnesota (down 2 bu. to 182 bu.), Missouri (down 5 bu. to 140 bu.), Ohio (down 3 bu. to 187 bu.), South Dakota (down 5 bu. to 160 bu.) and Wisconsin (down 5 bu. to 172 bu. per acre).
The bean crop estimate is 56 million bu. below the November estimate. USDA cut a half bushel from the national average bean yield (now at 51.6 bu. per acre) and made a 233,000-acre cut to harvested bean acres. At 4.544 billion bu., the bean crop estimate is also 25 million bu. below the average trade estimate.
Looking at the state-by-state soybean yield estimates, increases from November were noted in Arkansas (up 1 bu. to 51 bu. per acre), Illinois (up 1 bu. to 65 bu.), Kansas (up 1.5 bu. to 43.5 bu.) and Minnesota (up 0.5 bu. to 50.5 bushels per acre). Yields were steady in Michigan (48 bu.) and Wisconsin (49 bu. per acre). Yields were down from November in Indiana (down 1.5 to 58.5 bu.), Iowa (down 1 bu. to 57 bu.), Missouri (down 1 bu. to 45 bu.), Nebraska (down 2 bu. to 59 bu.), North Dakota (down 0.5 to 39.5 bu.), Ohio (down 1 to 58 bu.) and South Dakota (down 3 bu. to 46 bu. per acre).
The cotton crop estimate came in 140,000 bales below the average pre-report trade estimate. USDA puts the national average cotton yield at 838 lbs. per acre, down 22 lbs. per acre from December. That was partially offset by a 69,000-acre increase in harvested cotton acres. At 18.390 million bales, the cotton crop is down 198,000 bales.

Implied disappearance in the second quarter of the 2018-19 marketing year was 390 million bu., down 1% from year-ago.
All winter wheat acres are came in 838,000 below pre-report trade expectations. Much of the shortfall is in HRW country where acres are down 3% from year-ago. SRW acres fell 7% from last year and white wheat acres are down 3% from 2018.
On the smaller corn crop estimate, total supplies of corn for the 2018-19 marketing year are down 211 million bu. from December. Total use is down 165 million bu., with estimated feed and residual down 125 million bu. (to 5.375 billion bu.) and food, seed & industrial use down 40 million bushels (including a 25-million-bu. cut to estimated corn-for-ethanol use of 5.575 billion bu.). Estimated corn exports were unchanged from December at 2.450 billion bushels. Carryover is down 46 million bu. from December, but it is still 27 million bu. above the average pre-report trade guess. USDA now puts the national average on-farm cash corn price at $3.35 to $3.85, down a dime on the top and up a dime on the bottom of the range from December.
Total soybean supplies for the 201819 marketing year are down 61 million bu. from December. On the demand side, USDA increased estimated crush by 10 million bu.

USDA puts the national average on-farm cash soybean price at $8.10 to $9.10, up a quarter on the bottom and down a quarter on the top of the range from December.
USDA made no change to the supply side of the wheat balance sheet from December. On the usage side, USDA cut 6 million bu. from estimated seed use and cut 30 million bu. from estimated feed and residual use. That pushed carryover up 36 million bu. from December. USDA puts the national average on-farm cash wheat price at $5.05 to $5.25, unchanged from December.
Total supplies of cotton for the 2018-19 marketing year is down 180,000 bales from December. USDA cut total use 100,000 bales, with domestic use estimated down 100,000 bales from December (at 3.2 million bales). Unaccounted use was also increased 10,000 bales. USDA now puts the national average on-farm cash cotton price at 71 cents to 73 cents, steady on the bottom of the range but down 4 cents on the top of the range from December.

DEER RIVER – Issues with a National Grid hook-up will likely delay completion of the Copenhagen Wind Farm project until 2018.
While developers had hoped to start work on the project this fall and be up and running by late 2017, National Grid officials have notified them that the earliest interconnection to the power grid would be in mid-2018, Mr. Saliterman said.
EDF officials still hope to negotiate an earlier date with the utility, but the issue makes it difficult to give a definite start date at this point, he said.
The Copenhagen Wind Farm, being developed by EDF, San Diego, Calif., with local partner Jerry B. Wichelns, is to feature 40, 2-megawatt turbines in the town of Denmark and an overhead power line running through the towns of Champion and Rutland.
Under a proposed 20-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement to be administered by the Lewis County Industrial Development Agency, Copenhagen Wind Farm would pay $8,400 per megawatt – or $672,000 – in the first year following completion, then add 2.5 percent each year. That’s more than $19 million over the 20-year period.
Most of the turbines would be in the Copenhagen Central School District, and that revenue would be split as follows: 38.07 percent to the school district, 31.07 percent to the town of Denmark and 30.85 percent to Lewis County. For the roughly five towers in the Lowville Academy and Central School District, the split would be 35.07 percent to the school district, 32.58 percent to the town and 32.35 percent to the county.
For the transmission line, the wind company would additionally pay Jefferson County and its two towns based on full taxation on an assessed value of 70 percent of line construction costs, while the Copenhagen school district would waive transmission payments for the first 15 years.
Mr. Saliterman commended Copenhagen Central School Superintendent Scott N. Connell, who was in attendance, for offering the waiver after plans offering less money to the Jefferson County municipalities were rejected. “Scott’s leadership in this whole thing was instrumental,” he said.
While the school was scheduled to get the lion’s share of its money through turbine payments anyway, the wind project “would have been at a disadvantage” to competing projects if it had to pay more on the power lines, Mr. Saliterman said.
The Lewis County IDA is also offering sales and mortgage tax abatement for the project. With nobody registering opposition at Monday’s hearing, the IDA board will likely give its final sign-off in a couple of weeks.
The project also remains under review by the Denmark town Planning Board. That board could give site plan approval as soon as Thursday night, when a special meeting has been set to hash out remaining issues with the developer.
The state Article X permitting process, which now allows the state Public Service Commission to make decisions about where wind and other power projects are sited, was enacted in 2011.
However, it didn’t take effect until after the Copenhagen Wind Farm was proposed, leaving review of this project in the town’s hands.

It is in the nature of humans to want to achieve things, have you ever found yourself making a list at the beginning of a new year full of dreams and expectations in your heart? There is nothing more satisfying than setting yourself a goal and achieving it! At the same time there is nothing more discouraging and frustrating than setting yourself a goal and giving up on it.
This year I want to give you some tips in goal setting, so you can reach what was born in your heart for this new year! Most of the goals people don’t achieve are either unrealistic, unimportant to the person or simply not their own goal but someone else’s.
When the goals you set for yourself are your own, reflect who you are and who you want to become and are a part of something you really value, there is little margin of error if you really stick to it. But let me help you with this and hopefully I will help you change your perspective and that thing you really want to reach this year, will look a little less impossible.
When we think of goals we usually think of longterm success, but the best use you can give to goal setting is to make them small steps towards something big. A big picture, a vision, will keep you inspired when single results seem impossible.
Who do you want to become? Where do you see yourself this year? In 5 years?
Make goals that will lead you to that. Allow yourself to dream and imagine what can be done, who you can become and what you can contribute in the life of other’s this year.
What you value affects absolutely everything you do, it helps you set your priorities and decide where you will invest your energy, time, resources and creativity. I’ve made the mistake before of setting myself goals that I truly didn’t care about. For example, I love eating, and even though I value my health, the Instagram fit life is not something that I would die for. So the year I decided to have a six-pack just because I thought it was cool, I ended up feeling defeated at the end of the year, but on the inside I truly didn’t care if I reached this goal or not.
Make sure that the goals you set for yourself are based on things you really value, may that’s generosity, family, your job, or maybe fitness and outer beauty, all of these are valid, but make sure they are your own goals that are born out of you personal convictions.
There are two types of goals you should be working with and one of them are general goals. A common mistake people make is to treat these as if they were concrete goals. A general goal tells you the destination you want to reach, and concrete goals (the other type) are the small steps that take you towards that destination.
For example, people who want to become more organised, usually write exactly that in their goals: “Be more organised”. The problem with this goal is that it doesn’t give you any clue on how to get there. So first of all write down some general goals and after that let’s break them down to concrete small steps.
Nobody was born a champion, everything requires discipline, willingness, practice and a lot of work. So, after you have written the things you want to achieve as a general guideline, you can break it down into small action steps that you can apply everyday so in a long term period you reach what you desire.
Divide your day in time for rest, work, and various activities.
Get yourself a calendar and start writing down your weekly appointments or daily activities.
Start making to do lists.
Ask a friend who is very organised to give you some tips in splitting your time and energy wisely.
Whatever goal you have in mind, can be broken down to small steps, and the good thing about small steps is that you achieve them every day, so this will help you have a feel of realisation along the way.
Make sure you set realistic goals, the point is not to be perfect, or to reach all your life goals in a year, but it is to see progress in your life. If you take one step, you are still further than when you started and definitely further than where you would’ve stayed if you did nothing.
So what are your goals for 2018? Dare to dream big and step out of your comfort zone to see growth in your life!

Fix Auto generously donated 200 reusable bags to help support the Montavilla Farmers Market loaner bag program. Below is a special guest blog about other ways they support the local community.
Fix Auto believes giving back to our local community is a characteristic of a truly exceptional organization. Lending a helping a hand to those in need can have a long-lasting, profound and positive effect on the communities we work and live in. This is why the Fix Auto is participating in the National Auto Body Council’s (NABC) Recycled Rides® program, a national initiative that allows members like us to use their finely honed collision repair skills to help deserving families get back on the road.
Take a look at the Fix Auto Recycled Rides public service announcement here.
In Portland, Oregon, Fix Auto will be giving away a car to a family with a child at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital Kiwanis Cancer Program, ranked among the nation’s top 50 children’s hospitals in eight specialties. Each year, OHSU Doernbecher cares for tens of thousands of children from Oregon, Southwest Washington and beyond in a patient-friendly, family-centered environment.
In addition to the vehicle, the donation of gas or other gift cards, toys, books and food are also welcomed. If you would like to donate any of these items, please drop them off at the participating locations below by December 7th between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
About Fix Auto: Fix Auto is an international network of performance-based collision repair facilities. Based in Anaheim Hills, CA, Fix Auto USA includes over 188 network locations throughout the United States, including 43 franchises, making it one of North America’s largest networks of independent collision repair centers. Customer satisfaction-driven, Fix Auto strives to deliver a consistent, timely and quality repair each and every time, and promises a lifetime guarantee on all of the work performed by Fix Auto locations. For more information about Fix Auto, go to www.fixauto.com.
On July 21, the City of Portland joined a handful of cities in banning plastic bags at the check out counter of large retail stores. Single-use plastic bags often end up littering our streets, jamming up recycling equipment, and polluting our waterways and oceans, not to mention the natural resources used for their manufacture and transport. The new ordinance goes into effect on October 15.
While farmers markets are exempt from the ordinance, the Montavilla Farmers Market has long encouraged the use of reusable bags. Last year, we launched our Market Loaner Bag program to reduce the number of disposable bags used to bring home the bounty of the market. We began with loaner bags crafted out of discarded t-shirts, and made available at our Info Booth for shoppers to borrow. The program has since expanded with the generous donation of reusable bags from St. Peter and Paul Episcopal Church and Fix Auto. Now, many of our vendors have these reusable bags available to borrow right at their booths.
In honor of the City’s new ordinance, be sure to bring your reusable bags to the market on October 16, or borrow one of our handy loaner bags! We also sell reusable mesh produce bags for $1 at the Info Booth to carry home your smaller items.
Want to do more to help support the loaner bag program? We can always use the donation of reusable bags or t-shirts to transform into more bags. Or, sew some bags yourself with these easy instructions! You can also contact our volunteer coordinator to help us prepare donated bags for use at the market. Any way you can contribute help to make our market and our community more sustainable.

.NET Developers, especially C# developers, that want to develop Office solutions based on VSTO technology.
Perhaps the most important news in the second edition is that it’s only available with C# and not with VB.NET as the first editions was. Unfortunately the title no longer includes the language in use which can be very misleading for potential book buyers.
The book’s concept is built around two topics; how to work with each software’s object model and event coding. For obvious reasons it cannot cover all the objects in the softwares. Compared with the first edition the major update is that it now cover VSTO 3.0 . The chapter about managed COM add-in has now been replaced with a chapter that explicit target VSTO add-ins and the second edition now also cover the Ribbon Visual Designer in VSTO. A complete new chapter has also been added about using the ClickOnce technology for deploying VSTO solutions.
The book covers well what we can do with VSTO but not how we should do it. If we fully understand this then the book will be a good resource for us. When covering several softwares the book cannot covering all details about VSTO for each software. However, it covers the more central parts and it does it well too.
With a page numbers of 1015 the book is thick as a brick and consider the content it should be treated as the “bible” for VSTO. I like the book for several reasons; it’s well written and it covers VSTO well. But again, if we do not know C# then the book will be of little value although it provides all examples in VB.NET (available as download from the book’s site).

People around the world have been enjoying a quick dip in the pool for thousands of years.
Contrary to popular belief that the first swimming pools were built by the Greeks and Romans as bathing centers, the earliest public water tank for swimming and bathing was actually built more than 5000 years ago in the Pakistani city of Mohenjo-daro.
Built into the original pool design was a small ledge extending the full width of the pool, as many public pools have today. This feature allowed people to move along the ledge without fully immersing into the pool.
To say the ancient Greeks and Romans did take things up a notch is an understatement, however.
As standards of living increased in ancient times, luxuries such as large pools came into fashion. Pools enhanced property value but were used for many other reasons such as bathing, health, religious ceremonies, etc.
The word “pool” comes from “piscine” meaning fish.
The first Jacuzzi style pool, complete with waterfalls and lush garden landscaping, was designed by Gaius Maecenas, one of Augustus Ceasar’s political advisors around 8 BCE.
Both Roman and Greek emperors enjoyed ornate pools complete with live fish.
The Greek philosopher Plato believed that learning to swim was part of a proper education - along with mathematics, writing, astronomy, and so forth. Standard education included teaching children to swim in pools as early as 400 BCE but even earlier, in the 6th to 8th Century BCE, the ancient Greeks had “Palaestras” which included pools for swimming, bathing and socializing with friends and neighbors.
Pools were also used by the Greek and Roman militaries to train for war.
The Romans built a pool that was more than 900,000 square feet in the year 305 which was heated by giant fires in the basement and was used for public bathing.
Although swimming was not included in the Olympic Games in Athens until 1896, competitive swimming was developed in Great Britain during the early 1800′s by the National Swimming Society.
Indoor pools in London were used by the National Swimming Society of England for swimming competitions. The popularity of the sport led to the formation of the Amateur Swimming Association in 1880.
With the popularity of motion pictures after World War II, swimming pools became a status symbol across the United States.
The American Dream of owning one’s own home, being King of one’s own Castle, quickly came to include the dream of having a private backyard oasis complete with a modern swimming pool like those seen on the big screen at the local movie theater.
Stylish backyards from coast to coast now feature the personal retreat.

Only those whos schools skipped simple math subjects would have issue with a simple equation.
As far as robots go? Welcome to the real world. Just about everything done today has robotics built in to some degree.
Was the math too hard?
Why does Ywn need to make sure we’re not bots?
I don’t care about the math but to assume I’m a bot? I’m human!
I sometimes get that question and sometimes do not. In any case, I also find it very offensive.
AS A HUMAN WHO INGESTS OXYGEN AND DERIVES PLEASURE FROM CONSUMPTION OF FERMENTED VEGETABLES IT IS GOOD FOR ROOM OF COFFEE TO PREVENT FILTHY ROBOTS FROM COMING. CORRECT, FELLOW HUMANS?
I choose to identify as a robot and I am offended.
that’s exactly what a robot would say.
what are they going to do when a robot that can solve 3 + 3 is invented ?
If I wasn’t a bot last time, why would I be one now?
Like my poem in “would you rather”?
Well, if they robots are frum, why can’t they post?
If u shake and shukkle like a bot ,u most likely will get flagged by the shukkle police.
Why do people who are totally not robots sound vaguely Russian?

Nelson’s syndrome is the term used to describe an enlargement of an adrenocorticotropic hormone-producing tumour in the pituitary gland, following surgical removal of both adrenal glands in a patient with Cushing’s disease. The syndrome is the name given to the effects of the enlarging tumour in the pituitary gland. The tumour produces an excess of a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone, which is involved in the production of other steroid hormones (such as cortisol). Large tumours can sometimes also invade areas around the pituitary gland, which may cause a reduction in levels of other hormones, visual problems or it may affect nerves and blood vessels. It can also cause an increase in skin pigmentation, so patients may look as if they have a suntan.
Nelson’s syndrome results from a reduction in feedback of steroid hormones and is a consequence of removal of the adrenal glands (an adrenalectomy). In healthy individuals, the pituitary gland stimulates the adrenal glands to produce steroid hormones (such as cortisol) through production of a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone. These steroid hormones then act on the pituitary gland to stop it producing more adrenocorticotropic hormone. This feedback system means that levels of the hormones are kept within the normal range. In patients who have had an adrenalectomy, this negative feedback system does not work and the pituitary tumour may expand and produce more adrenocorticotropic hormone.
What are the signs and symptoms of Nelson’s syndrome?
The signs and symptoms of Nelson’s syndrome result from the enlarged tumour and the increased adrenocorticotropic hormone production. The enlarged tumour compresses the rest of the pituitary gland and therefore reduces the amount of other hormones produced. This can result in poor functioning of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), a lack of growth hormone (growth hormone deficiency) and deficiencies of the gonadotrophic hormones, luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. The tumour can also grow upwards from the pituitary gland and compress vital nerves involved in vision. This may result in blind spots in the vision or, occasionally, complete blindness. The tumour may grow to each side of the pituitary gland and affect important nerves that are found in this area. This can result in difficulty moving the eyes, double vision or numbness on the face. Occasionally, patients will also experience a headache as a result of the enlarging tumour.
The raised levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone act on cells in the skin to increase pigmentation. This results in darkened or tanned skin, especially in skin creases. The tanned complexion is not confined to areas exposed to the sun and frequently affects the inside of the mouth and old scars.
How common is Nelson’s syndrome?
Surgical removal of both adrenal glands to treat Cushing’s disease is rarely performed nowadays due to improvements in other treatment options for this condition. However, in patients who do require this operation, Nelson’s syndrome develops in 20% to 40% of cases.
Nelson's syndrome only occurs in patients with Cushing’s disease if they have had both adrenal glands removed. Most cases of Cushing’s disease are not inherited, but rarely, these tumours can be part of a genetic condition such as multiple endocrine neoplasia.
How is Nelson’s syndrome diagnosed?
Nelson’s syndrome is suspected in patients who have previously undergone surgical removal of the adrenal glands when they develop symptoms suggestive of pituitary enlargement such as headache, visual disturbance, skin pigmentation or other symptoms resulting from pituitary hormone deficiencies. The doctor will request blood tests to look for a high adrenocorticotropic hormone level along with possible low levels of other pituitary hormones. A scan of the pituitary gland will be organised to assess the growth of the tumour and to look for effects on other areas in the brain around the pituitary gland. Often a visual field test will be organised to check for loss of vision. Frequently, these tests will be performed as an outpatient, but occasionally the doctor may advise an admission to hospital if treatment is required urgently.
How is Nelson’s syndrome treated?
Nelson’s syndrome is most frequently treated by surgical removal of the pituitary tumour, and this is usually the case if there is visual impairment or other evidence of significant growth of the tumour outside the pituitary gland. Occasionally, medical treatment aimed at shrinking the tumour may be suggested and radiotherapy may also be used, especially if surgery is not felt to be safe.
Hormone deficiencies may resolve after removal of the tumour, but these will be treated if symptoms persist. This may involve thyroid hormone replacement, growth hormone replacement and testosterone or oestrogen replacement. Most patients with Nelson’s syndrome will already be taking steroid replacement therapy.
Surgery is generally safe and well tolerated, although a surgeon will go through the particular risks of the operation with a patient. Medications that are currently used to induce tumour shrinkage include dopamine agonists and these can be associated with headaches, dizziness and gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation.
Radiotherapy can be associated with damage to areas around the pituitary gland. The risks and benefits of this treatment will need to be discussed with a specialist in radiation treatment.
What are the longer-term implications of Nelson’s syndrome?
The successful treatment of Nelson’s syndrome depends on the involvement of specialists including an endocrinologist, a specialist pituitary surgeon and occasionally, a radiotherapist. The outcome is good if the condition is detected early, and this is one of the reasons for long-term follow-up of patients who have had surgical removal of their adrenal glands.
It is very important that any hormone deficiencies are diagnosed and treated properly so as to avoid long-term complications such as osteoporosis, heart disease and depression.

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation recently announced the certification of its G500 aircraft by the Federal Aviation Administration, equipped with BAE Systems’ active sticks. The achievement marks a milestone in the history of flight controls, as the world’s first certified civil active inceptor – an accomplishment that earned both BAE Systems and Gulfstream the 2017 Aviation Week Technology Laureate Award. Every G500 jet will be manufactured with BAE Systems’ active sticks installed.
Active sticks — otherwise known as active control sidesticks or active inceptors — are the controls a pilot uses to fly the aircraft. Unlike passive controls, active sticks provide intuitive tactile feedback that helps pilots control the aircraft and maintain a stable flight.
The G500 is a twin-engine business jet designed for high-speed travel, offering an unprecedented combination of speed, technology, reliability, safety and performance. Gulfstream is setting a new safety standard as the first in business aviation to offer active control sidesticks on its aircraft. Gulfstream delivered the first G500 on 27 September 2018.
BAE Systems has been providing its active stick technology for fixed- and rotary-wing military aircraft for more than two decades. When certified for F-35, it became the first certified military active stick in the world.
Decades ago, aircraft moved to digital fly-by-wire controls from mechanical controls, meaning much of the tactile feedback from pilot controls was lost. Active sticks return that feedback to the pilot, within a completely electronic system, which also offers significant weight and volume savings over mechanical controls. By providing an indication of any impending structural or aerodynamic operating limits — such as excessive bank angle or stall — the active sticks improve a pilot’s awareness and ability to control the plane.
BAE Systems is a leader in the design, development, production, and support of high-integrity flight and engine controls, and cabin and flight-deck systems for commercial and military aircraft. In fact, every second a flight takes off enabled by the company’s flight critical systems. The active sticks were designed, and will be manufactured, at BAE Systems’ facility in Rochester, United Kingdom.
