Compared to the 2016-2020 development plan, private agricultural investments have decreased by 34.5% in number and 8.4% in value. The approved investments will lead to the creation of 1,639 permanent jobs, compared to 2,056 in 2022.
The distribution between sectors shows a stabilisation of the approved investments in the main crops sector, which reached TND 17.6 million, while investments in the fisheries sector increased by 31.6%. In addition, two investment operations amounting to TND 6.9 million were approved in the tuna fishing sector. In addition, four investment operations were approved in the aquaculture sector for a total of TND 2.9 million.
Investments in favour of youth have decreased from 339 operations (TND 34.5 million) at the end of July 2022 to 271 investment operations (TND 26.8 million) in the first 7 months of 2023. Of these, 158 operations worth TND 15.9 million were for young women.
The approved investments received subsidies amounting to TND 78 million, representing 28.2% of the approved investment volume. The lending rate remained stable at 19%. According to the investment indicators in components contributing to the efficient use of natural resources published by APIA, approved investments in photovoltaic systems have increased to TND 8.4 million, with subsidies of TND 3.8 million.
Investments according to organic methods are around TND 6.8 million (with TND 2.3 million subsidies), while those approved for water-saving components have reached TND 13.5 million (with TND 6.6 million in subsidies).
Until the end of July, the Benefit Committees had approved 26 land loans worth TND 4.4 million, compared to 34 loans worth TND 5.6 million in the same period in 2022. These loans will integrate 286 hectares of land into the economic cycle, compared to 359 hectares during the same period in 2022.
Declining trend in reported agricultural investments
During the first seven months of 2023, the number of reported investments decreased by 7.9%, while their value increased by 8.2%. As a result, 3,344 investment operations worth TND 772.8 million were reported, compared to 3,630 declarations (TND 714.4 million) in the same period of 2022. Compared to the 2016-2020 Development Plan, declarations have decreased by 25.9% in number and 2.2% in value.

Reblochon is a soft centred cow's milk cheese from the mountainous Savoie region. The strong aroma comes from the washed rind. When melted, it marries really well with potatoes. This recipe serves 4 people and takes under 30 minutes to prepare, and 10-15 minutes to cook.
- 1 kg potatoes, peeled and halved
- 250g bacon lardons (optional)
- 2 shallots
- 1 garlic clove
- 100ml white wine
- 200ml double cream
- Sel de Camargue and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
- 450g Reblochon cheese, sliced (you could use Chaumes as well)
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 7. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5-10 minutes until tender but not totally cooked. Drain and set aside, while you fry the bacon, shallots and garlic until golden brown. Pour in the white wine, swirl it round the pan to catch all the bits, and continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Slice the potatoes thinly and layer with the bacon mixture into an ovenproof dish. Pour over the double cream and add the seasoning. Layer the Reblochon slices on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling. Serve with cornichons, pickled onions and charcuterie, and some crusty bread on the side. A Riesling would go nicely with this dish, or a crisp Bourgogne.

Color plays an essential part in our visual experiences. It goes far beyond decorative beauty and can be used as a powerful tool in the creative industry. How well do you know your colors? Discover the beauty of color and its fundamental principles in a step by step process followed by quiz time.
We often take for granted the beauty of color and forget how important the role of color is in our daily life.
But how much do we really understand about the way we see color and the way colors work together?
How many times can you recall being asked?
What’s your favorite color? We rarely get asked why a certain color is more appealing to us than another. Instead, we are all consumed by our own color interests.
It used to be that a color reference went as far as the basic color wheel and our attraction to particular colors would stop at the basic colors.
So how do we make sense of all these colors?
Let’s look at the beauty of color in a more practical way by analyzing color in its simplest and purest form.
Popular color references.
Along with the evolution of our tastes came the need for us to identify colors in a new way.
This meant in some cases letting go of the traditional color sources and opting for more appropriate and specific names that describe each particular color.
You might recognize a few of these colors too.
- Scarlet red
- Primary Red
- Forest green
- Citrus green
- Royal Blue
- Sky blue
- Lemon yellow
- Mellow yellow
- Velvet purple
- Lilac purple
- Fucia Pink
- Baby Pink
- Ash grey
- Charcoal Grey
- Matt white
- Gloss white
- Matt black
- Gloss black
There are many more examples
I have chosen these ones just to name a few of the more popular references. Introducing names that are familiar with our senses allows us to connect with a visual and emotive appeal to color.
There are subtle variances in names for colors if they are either water-based or oil-based however most of them are very similar. Before familiarizing yourself with all the color names it is good to first have a fair idea of how colors are made.
In the next few paragraphs, we will have a look at the key points that make colors what they are.
Understanding the color wheel
What are the primary colors?
The primary colors
Are made up of Yellow, Red, and Blue. These colors are considered the pioneer base pigments of color from which in theory you are able to mix an endless variety of other colors.
They are essential to have in your color pallet. Experimenting with a minimal pallet will help you to understand how color works and what mixes you prefer to use in your artwork.
What are the secondary colors?
The secondary colors
Also referred to as complementary colors are orange, purple and green. These three (3) colors are typically located directly opposite the primary colors and are made by mixing equal portions of 2 primary colors. Here are a few examples.
The combination of 2 primary colors in each example shows from left to right.
Yellow and Red to make Orange. Yellow and Blue to make Green. Lastly Red and Blue to make Purple.
As I mentioned earlier these examples can only be used as a guideline. In reality, when using paint or other color mediums, the mixing will vary depending on the brands and quality of your pigments as well as how you manage the ratios of each primary color.
The color chart is good to know, however it is not necessary to always follow these rules.
Try to play around with different options and discover your favorite colors along the way.
How should you pair primary & complementary colors?
The beauty of color
Is that “it is in the eyes of the beholder” so essentially how you decide to pair your colors is entirely up to you.
It does pay to know a few basic rules to ensure that you are giving yourself the best chance of making a successful colorful work of art.
Unless it is intentional, using certain color combinations may result in your colors feeling dull and muddy. That’s perfectly fine if your painting requires this sort of pallet.
It is important to understand the guidelines but you don’t always have to follow them to a letter. Leaving some area for experimentation will often result in your paintings looking more spontaneous then if you had followed too closely the color principles.
Aside from having a dirty paintbrush or perhaps dirty water. Your colors should remain clean and intentional.
If you are not happy with your original mixes then have another go before applying it to your canvas.
How can you tell if a color is warm or cool?
A simple way to remember your warm vs cool colors is to take reference from the environment you are in.
For example, we can easily associate warm colors with elements that remind us of things that are hot. Things such as fire and the sun.
We can also associate cool colors with trees and shade or water and sky. Although this may seem like a logical explanation it can be confusing when deciding on particular nuances for shadows and highlights.
Think of warm and cool as you would loud and calm or active and inactive. And that’s the beauty of color.
Making sense of saturation?
Saturation in color is best described as the intensity or pureness of a color. Straight out of the tube, color is at its optimum range.
When you add white or black to a color you are essentially changing its aspect ratio to form either a saturated color or nonsaturated color.
Adding white will lighten the brightness of color without loosing too much of its original tint, however adding more black will dull a color giving it an overall grey impression. Saturation should not be mixed up with brightness.
Should I mix black into my colors to make them darker?
Using black to darken your colors can be a risky decision as black has a tendency of killing the sharpness of your original color mix making your overall color look dull and faded.
If this is not the effect you are after then rather opt for using other darker colors or complementary colors to add depth to your mix and maintain a glossy colorful look.
Here are some examples of distinct color palettes used by the masters.
The theory of color goes far beyond the basics that we have touched on here.
In-depth knowledge of how to use color and when to combine colors is largely based on research and experimentation.
Throughout art history, there are several distinct periods where artists have been more inclined to use certain color combinations as opposed to others.
As you develop your own style and preferences you will be able to explore more possibilities of tweaking the rules to your advantage.
Here are a few artists from the not so distant past who have inspired me in my journey through color and paint application. For more information on these artists just follow the links provided.
See if you can identify the color patterns and combinations in these paintings.
To wrap up the beauty of color
Why not try a short quiz
See how much you know about color. Explore, play, discover and rejoice in color for it is what brings life to experiences, memories, and the present moment we live in.
Try this fun introduction quiz to see how well you understand the beauty of color.
So! How did you go with the beauty of the color quiz?

So has anyone done a side-by-side comparison shooting test with an old Mini 14 [.223] and one with the new "heavy" barrel?
Is accuracy improved with the new ones? REALLY?
Would love to know about this.
Yes, the new heavier barrels will shoot better. They do not string anywhere near as much as the thin barrels do. You should be able to get 1.5 inch groups with good ammo with the heavier barrels.
The thin barrels can be made to shoot much better with the addition of a support strut. I hope to be posting pictures of my struts that I will have for sale within a few days. They work just as well as the commercial one's at less than half the price. They are pretty darn good looking also.
If your looking at buying a Mini, a new one would give you good groups without any work.
If you find a good used thin barrel Mini for a low price, it can be made to shoot. My thin barreled mini shot a best 3 shot group of .474" and 5 shot group of .855" at 80 yards. One flyer opened up the 5 shot group and it was the last and only 5 shot group I fired that day; I ran out of ammo. I'm not sure if it was me or the weapon. The 100 YD range was full so I couldn't shoot at 100 like I would have like to.
It was a clear, windless day and the rifle was shot from a rest on a cement shooting bench.
The Mini 14 was modified with a steel bedded action, a strut, trigger job, Mason flash hider/brake combo, 3 X 9 Nikon scope and a re cut muzzle using 55 grn factory ammo. It is an older 187 model with the 1-10 twist barrel. It also had very few rounds put through it, so it was a new, older rifle.
I can show some pics comparing a 195-series (ss ranch rifle) to a new all-weather ss series 581. Unfortunately, I've misplaced my measurements. But you can get an idea of what has been changed. The overall contour is quite different, and the new barrel is larger in the cylindrical portions, i.e. the thinnest parts.
Here is the overall comparison. Notice particularly the new cone shaped region in front of the gas block, and the extra middle step in front of the chamber.
Detail of the chamber region:
Detail of the gas block region. I think this cone acts as a stop to prevent the barrel from sliding in the gas block due to recoil.
I haven't done any accuracy testing, but the new barrel looks as though it should be better.

It was almost fifteen months ago to the day when the Seattle Seahawks made their fateful decision to trade franchise icon Russell Wilson to the quarterback-desperate Denver Broncos in one of the highest-profile trades in NFL history. Of course, the trade ended disastrously for the Broncos. The Broncos unloaded a treasure trove of draft picks and useful players for Wilson, who turned in arguably his worst season as a pro. Rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett was fired after fifteen games and the Broncos scuffled to a pitiful 5 - 12 record, a far cry from the Super Bowl run many prognosticators expected.
But sky-high expectations went beyond just the Broncos after Wilson’s arrival. The entire AFC West, it was argued, was the greatest collection of football talent in NFL history – or so we were made to believe. And to be fair, at that moment, the AFC West did seem pretty formidable. Plus, we were told the quarterbacks in the division basically amounted to the entire AFC Pro Bowl roster. How could this division not set records?
Well, quite easily, apparently. The aforementioned Broncos stunk. The Las Vegas Raiders, piloted by Mr. Eyeliner Derek Carr at QB and new head coach Josh McDaniels and his career .378 winning percentage, also stunk. The Los Angeles Chargers… well, they didn’t stink, but they certainly disappointed – relative to their bonkers Super Bowl expectations, anyway. And then there’s the Chiefs who… we don’t need to rehash their season, do we?
But the irony of the 2022 NFL season was that a division actually did set a new record for wins by a single division in a single season – but it was sure as hell not the AFC West. Instead, it was the NFC East that became the new gold standard (kinda) with 43 wins, surpassing the 2007 AFC South’s previous high-water mark of 42 wins (though the 2007 AFC South does still hold the all-time mark for winning percentage, thanks to playing four fewer games).
In another strange twist, the NFC East had also been the NFL’s punching bag over the past decade or so. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders were both perpetual joke franchises with zero postseason expectations. The Commanders fell a bit short, but the Giants turned in one of the biggest surprises of the season with a 9 - 7 - 1 record and a Wild-Card berth. The Philadelphia Eagles were highly regarded, and there were some who even predicted the Eagles Super Bowl run, but they weren’t being mentioned in the same rarified air as the top NFL teams like the Chiefs, Bills and 49ers. As for the Cowboys… they’re always in the conversation (but the kind of conversation depends completely on who you’re talking to).
So, the 2022 NFC East now holds the distinction as the best division in NFL history (sort of), but unfortunately for those fanbases, they’ll only get to proclaim that for a little more than seven months. That’s because a new division is on the verge of setting a new mark – and not just for wins, but winning percentage too. That division is the 2023 AFC North.
And it’s not like the 2022 AFC North was too far off. The division, as a whole, finished with 38 wins on the year, just five away from the NFC East’s new record – and that’s with the Bengals losing a game due to the Damar Hamlin incident. The 2023 AFC North looks better than ever, but strangely, you don’t hear anyone hyping up this division like so many hyped up the AFC West last year. What gives?
The simple answer is those same people who loved all over the AFC West are probably a little gun-shy about predicting record-breaking things from another division after the AFC West fell so woefully short. Not to worry – I didn’t buy into the hype last year, so I have no problem setting myself up for future embarrassment.
When you look at the 2023 AFC North compared to the 2022 NFC East or even the 2022 AFC West, it’s obvious that the AFC North compares very, very favorably, especially at quarterback:
2023 AFC North QBs: Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson
2022 AFC West QBs: Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson
2022 NFC East QBs: Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz/Taylor Heinicke
And while the AFC North’s QB-situation does look pretty special, there are two significant known-unknowns that could throw a wrench in my prediction: Pickett and Watson.
Pickett was the lone QB drafted in the first-round last year, and he turned in a solid, if unspectacular, rookie season for the Steelers. He looks like a classic high-floor/low-ceiling type of prospect that could be perfect for a team like the Steelers who want to run the ball and play good defense to win. Still, the NFL continues to be dominated by high-octane passing attacks, and it’s a good bet that the Steelers aren’t going to be able to keep up if games become a shootout. Maybe they can avoid scoreboard fireworks for the entirety of the 2023 season, but that seems unlikely.
Watson, on the other hand, might have more variance than any QB in recent memory. Last time we saw Watson at his peak – almost three years ago now – he was a near-consensus top five player at his position. With top-tier athleticism, a strong, accurate arm and big-game experience from his days at Clemson, Watson was expected to remain one of the premier players in the sport until he derailed his entire career. You could tell me Watson was going to turn in an MVP campaign in 2023, and you could tell me he would be halfway out of the league by January. Both are equally believable at this point.
But, in the best-case scenario, Watson could be an absolute force of nature for a Browns team that has one of the best overall rosters in the NFL. And of course, the Steelers just refuse to go under .500 for a season under head coach Mike Tomlin. Throw in the Bengals and Ravens, two teams with clear and earned Super Bowl expectations, and it’s hard to understand why the national football media hasn’t rallied around the idea that the AFC North might be the toughest division in history.
The Bengals bring back essentially the same team that barely lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last year. The Ravens revamped their offense and added a ton of receiving firepower in order to bring out the best in Jackson – and this was a team that was one play away from defeating the Bengals in the Wild Card Round! If they put it all together, there’s no reason the Browns shouldn’t be in the Super Bowl conversation either, and the Steelers, again, just downright refuse to suck. That’s four teams with good rosters and good recent track records, a lot more than could have been said about last year’s AFC West and NFC East.
Plus, the AFC North hit the schedule jackpot by drawing the AFC South in the schedule rotation. The AFC South was, by far, the worst division in the NFL last year, and the teams in that division appeared to make mostly lateral moves at best. The 2022 NFC East feasted on the AFC South last year, and there’s zero reason to expect this year to be any different for the AFC North.
In order to set the new record for wins and winning percentage, the 2023 AFC North will have to finish with at least 45 wins. I think they get there. The Bengals are a lock for 12+ wins, and if the new-look Ravens offense clicks, they could get into that range too. The Steelers might not have that kind of upside, but 9 - 8 feels like the absolute worst they can possibly go. Hell will freeze over before Mike Tomlin has a losing record. And then there’s the Browns, who realistically could go anywhere from 3 - 14 to 14 - 3. For the purposes of this exercise, I say they finish with 10 wins.
So there you have it. Bengals finish 14 - 3, Ravens 12 - 5, Browns 10 - 6, Steelers finish 9 - 8. That’s 45 wins and yes, I did the math, this is actually possible. Move over NFC East, it’s time for the AFC North to take back its rightful place as the toughest division in football.

Unexpected dad Max Schenzel finally received his sentencing after he pleaded guilty to stealing cash, a casino voucher, and two credit cards from the purse of his friend’s sleeping 77-year-old grandmother in June. Max was extremely lucky to have a sympathetic prosecutor who requested and received a delayed jail sentence scheduled to begin in May of next year.
TLC’s teen pregnancy reality series Unexpected has been a big hit for the network, with the second season often beating out MTV’s Teen Mom OG in viewers week to week. So, it is anything but unexpected that the network would renew the series for a third season, and it appears that they have already made their decision on who to invite back — and who not to invite back!

College News and Departmenal Notes: Professor Dodge Becomes County Agent Leader
by Departmental notes - 1919
Richard E. Dodge, emeritus professor of geography in Teachers College, was appointed last fall assistant county agent leader by the States Relations Service of the Department of Agriculture. In his new work Professor Dodge has headquarters at Storrs, Connecticut. Professor Dodge is assisting in the development of the agricultural program in the eight counties of the state of Connecticut by working with the county agricultural agents and their agricultural and executive committees. Incident to this he has many administrative problems dealing with publicity, finance, official reports to the United States Department of Agriculture, etc., that require constant attention. While there are many features of the work in each county that are unique to the county, there are many ways in which the work in several parts of the state has common factors. Professor Dodge, therefore, is interested in keeping closely in touch with activities in all parts of the state in order that there may be a wider use of experience that has proved worth while in given localities. He finds that the work requires much time away from home and places him in touch with many of the better farmers and agricultural leaders of the state.

'Woof!' Signing day means no longer having to speak in code
NCAA rules prohibit coaches from talking about recruits until they sign their letters of intent, but that didn't stop some on Twitter from making sure their message was getting out.
It seemed curious at first when Washington Huskies' Coach Steve Sarkisian started sending "Woof!" on his Twitter handle. Was he catching a cold? Did he get a new dog? Was he turning into a werewolf?
It soon became clear Sarkisian tweeted "Woof!" each time he had landed a top prospect. Two "Woofs!" meant two players, and last week Sark hit the mother lode with "Woof! Woof! Woof!"
UCLA top recruiter Adrian Klemm thinly veiled a signing with his tweets of "8-Clap!!!!" When Klemm was at Southern Methodist, his code was "Pony Up."
As a public service, we've come up with twitter codes schools might want to consider next season:
--Boston College: "An Eagle has landed!!"
--Arizona State Sun Devils: "Put a Pitch Fork in it!"
--Oregon: "The Shoe Fit!
--Any SEC school: "$$$$$$$$$$!!" (just kidding)
It's a good thing UC Santa Cruz doesn't play major college football: What could you use as code for its nickname: Banana Slugs..."Slime Me!!!?"
-- Chris Dufresne

When a car is moving over rough or uneven surfaces, shock absorbers help to stop the car bouncing or vibrating too much and ensure that the tyres have full contact with the road surface all the time.
Enormous demands are placed on certain parts of cars when being driven. Shock absorbers are found on a car’s suspension, where they take the strain of all the constant bouncing up and down of the vehicle. Most cars’ wheels also have them. Worn shock absorbers will affect the car’s handling and braking, which can reduce your safety.
Shock absorbers have a piston inside them that moves up and down in line with the suspension and, depending on the vehicle, hydraulic fluid or air chambers absorb the energy from the road caused by vibration.

Video has emerged of Kim Jong-un in apparent hysterics as North Korea launches a missile from a submarine.Squirrel escapes hawk with action-hero jump
The missile failed in its initial flight stage, but that didn’t stop the dictator from having a good chuckle about it.
Behind him, a group of senior officials join in with the giggling.
A KN-11 submarine was tracked by the US Strategic Command operating near the east coast port of Sinpo on Saturday.
The mission should have ended in a controlled explosion, but the missile rose for a few miles then fell back into the sea.Hero spends £40,000 on supercomputer that only plays Tetris
Kim clearly sees the funny side of the military cock-up as he watches the disappointing spectacle on a screen.
He turns to his cronies chuckling, and like true Bond henchman they laugh along with him – they have to, it’s in their contracts.
The same location has been used for numerous weapons testing – but this time the missile is believed to have ended up in the sea somewhere near Japan.This cheeky pair duped their dad brilliantly
The South Korean Defence Ministry confirmed a successful ejection from the submarine, but the result was clearly not what they were hoping for.
You had a lucky escape this time Mr Bond… until next time.

Facts & Folkore:
The origin of the lemon is unknown, though lemons are thought to have first grown in Assam (a region in northeast India), northern Burma or China. A study of the genetic origin of the lemon reported it to be hybrid between the bitter orange (sour orange) and the citron.
The first substantial cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Genoa in the middle of the 15th century. The lemon was later introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola on his voyages. Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds.
In ancient Greece lemons were used for both culinary and non-culinary purposes. According to Greek mythology oranges and lemons were symbosl of richness and love. It was also believed that if you wanted to have sweet dreams you had to put some dried lemon leaves in your pillow just before you went to sleep.
In 1747, James Lind's first experiments on seamen suffering from scurvy involved adding lemon juice to their diets, though vitamin C was not yet known.

Eighteen-year-old Jess Bonner is casting off pretense—and, with it, some friends from his past who aren’t particularly trustworthy. In just a few months he’ll be starting college, and it’s time for him to admit the truth: he’s gay, not bi, and only one of his childhood buddies holds any kind of real interest for him.
When Dylan Finch, aka Mig, follows his lead and puts some distance between himself and the old crowd, he and Jess give in to a mutual attraction that’s been building for years.
But navigating a fledgling relationship isn’t easy for beginners, and forces they can’t seem to control keep tripping them up: sexual appetite, personal insecurities, fear of discovery, and more.
They need clarity. They need courage. Just as they’re on the verge of finding both, a vindictive act of jealousy sends one of them to jail. All their hard-won victories are in danger of falling to dust. The only way to save what they have is to recognize it for what it is . . . and fight for its integrity.
The Zero Knot was certainly different from the types of books I normally read but I really enjoyed it.
Set in small-town America, it is the story of two friends Jess and Dylan (nicknamed Mig) coming to terms with the fact they are gay and that they also have feelings for each other. There is some angst involved (relating to coming out etc.) but overall the two protagonists are generally comfortable with the fact that they are gay.
What isn’t easy for either of them is trying to overcome the difficulties thrown at them which may just stop their burgeoning relationship in its tracks. Jess is soon going to be heading off to college whereas Mig has no plans to leave town. Neither of them are sure how well their families will take the news that they are gay and both also have to overcome their own hang-ups if their relationship is ever to have a real chance. There is also a jealous third party to contend with who might just succeed in tearing them apart for good.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this but I ended up getting really caught up in the story. I liked both Jess and Mig, their struggles felt realistic and I was rooting for the pair of them. My favourite character had to be Red though (real name Jared but no one calls him that) – Jess’s younger brother. He was an endearingly snarky, bratty but at the same time perceptive and accepting character. I could stand to read a whole book about his exploits. The villain was a little one-dimensional but overall the characters were well fleshed-out.
Overall, a surprisingly sweet little coming-of-age tale (warning: this is not really a young adult book even though the main characters have just finished high school – there are sex scenes which can get a little graphic).

:: Absolutely loving this sound!
Rosie Blair [vox/guitar] spotted Michel Collet [lead guitar] in early 2011 playing guitar in Berlin’s U-Bahn underground. They instantly connected and Ballet School was born. Louis McGuire [drums] completed the band after Blair and Collet had witnessed him playing a drum kit. The Berlin-based multi-national threesome released their debut EP Boys Again last October, and now it it’s about time for their debut full-length. Entitled The Dew Lasts An Hour, the LP will only be out in ten days but you can listen to it in full already now.
The Dew Lasts An Hour drops officially in the UK/Europe on September 08, 2014 via Bella Union. North America sees release of the album on September 09.

You can pre-order digitally from iTunes (Standard / Deluxe) or buy your physical copy of The Dew Lasts An Hour from Bella Union.

The Dew Lasts An Hour includes last year’s fabulous singles Heartbeat Overdrive and Ghost in re-recorded versions, alternative takes on the EP tracks Crush and Yaoi as well as seven brand new songs.
In a label press note, Rosie Blair commented on their music: “We’re not a synth band, we’re a guitar band, but one that’s trying to push the boundaries of the traditional set up. We write pop songs. I never thought pop music was a lower form of art. We actively try to play with the model of mainstream pop against what indie is supposed to be and find our own new form. And though I love laptop pop, it’s vital that people witness our energy, that punk lust, when we play live.”

# The Importance of Bike Lanes for Asians
Asians have numerous reasons to utilize bicycles as part of their daily lives. Whether it’s for leisure, exercise, or transportation, cycling has become a popular choice for many Asians looking to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. However, many Asian cities lack proper infrastructure that caters to cyclists, which is why bike lanes play such an essential role.
Bike lanes serve as dedicated areas specifically for bikes, offering a safe and comfortable alternative for cyclists who want to avoid the dangers of riding alongside motorized vehicles. For Asians, this is especially important given the region’s high population density and bustling roads. In this post, we’ll discuss the importance of bike lanes for Asians and why it’s essential to have more of them in our cities.
## The Benefit of Bike Lanes for Asian Health
Cycling has been hailed as an effective form of exercise that helps reduce the risk of various chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As such, it is no surprise that many Asians choose cycling as their go-to activity for exercise.
However, the lack of proper cycling infrastructure inhibits many Asians from engaging in cycling as a form of exercise. Bike lanes offer a safe and reliable alternative for our Asian communities to engage in physical activity whilst also giving them the opportunity to explore their cities on a bike.
In many Asian countries, such as China and India, air pollution is a growing concern. Bike lanes offer a safe mode of transportation that reduces the dependency on motor vehicles while also minimizing the amount of pollution in our environment.
## Accessibility for All Cyclists
Bike lanes are a vital part of infrastructure as they make cycling accessible for everyone. For instance, children who cannot ride on the streets with motorized vehicles now have a safe and accessible spot to cycle with their peers.
In addition, bike lanes can enable older individuals or those with disabilities to engage in cycling as a mode of transportation or exercise. Furthermore, bike lanes play a significant role in encouraging more females and minorities to engage in cycling. They provide a safe space that eliminates the fear factor associated with cycling on busy roads.
## The Growth of Bike Lanes in Asia
Over the years, there has been a significant growth in the number of bike lanes in Asia. The region has witnessed an increase in the number of cities recognizing the importance of cycling in promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Cities such as Singapore, Seoul, and Taipei have invested heavily in bike lane infrastructure while also providing incentives to encourage cycling.
However, there still exists a considerable disparity between the demand and the availability of bike lanes. For instance, despite the high levels of cycling in countries such as China and India, they fall short compared to the number of bike lanes available.
Governments around Asia have recognized this disparity and are now embarking on various projects aimed at improving bike lane infrastructure. In Vietnam, the government has recently set up a bicycle sharing system featuring 12 docking stations around Hoi An ancient town, the first of its kind in the country. The move aims to promote cycling as well as support sustainable and eco-friendly tourism.
Bike lanes offer numerous benefits for Asians looking to engage in cycling safely and conveniently. From promoting physical health to reducing pollution, bike lanes are an essential part of infrastructure that promotes a sustainable lifestyle.
It’s exciting to see the growing number of bike lanes cropping up around Asia, but more needs to be done to support this development. Governments should consider cycling infrastructure as a priority and encourage its population to engage in cycling as a way of life. With more bike lanes, we can make cycling safer, more enjoyable, and more accessible for everyone.

Yeah i just got plugs, wires, and distributor done this week and its still like this. Im goin to autozone tomorrow so they can put it on the computer to see whats upBefore you finally decide to change the O2s .. make sure that you check/replace the fuel/air filters, distributor cap, rotor, plugs and wires first... it would suck to replace the sensors only to find out that it was faulty plugs....
within the week i got the plugs, wires,and distributor cap put in, this problem started about a week or two before this was done. There are no smells and it shakes in park, drive, and a whole lot in reverse. doesnt seem to matter if the car is cold or hot. when i accelerate to a higher speed i hear a pop pop pop.i got some questions for you though to figure this thing out
Yeah i live in the wicker park/ humbolt park area. The plugs i got are Denso, and the wires i got were Advan-tech, I asked the guy at Maverich autoparts for the stuff for a tuneup and this is what he gave me, he said the stuff would be good. I really appreciate ur guys help with this tooand i see your located in chicago....
It sounds like you just needed a full tune-up chitownlegend... replace fuel/air filters as previously suggested, pcv valve is important as well and also add some fuel injector cleaner in your gas tank on your next gas fill up.chitownlegend said:within the week i got the plugs, wires,and distributor cap put in, this problem started about a week or two before this was done.

Actually the popping sound is coming from the front of the car. today i put the fuel injector cleaner in and i noticed a bit o a difference but is still shaking. Could it be that i need a new fuel filter?the poping sound, is that comming from the exhaust? how loud is it? could be back firing or sputtering indicating is is a timing or ignition problem.
tried that and i guess it only does it when i drive the car. UPDATE: the car is even worse now than when i first posted, ive done nothing different and now there is a sound coming from the muffler, idk if its backfiring, it just sounds like its underwater or something. And the worst part is that i filled my tank up yesterday and today i only have a quarter of a tank or so. it ate up all my gas. I have no idea what is goin on now.while the car is running in park pull the accelerator cable under the hood to make it rev up and see if you can pin point exactly where that popping is comming from.
The air filter was changed about a month or two ago, way before any of this started goin on. and what about my fuel filter, is that not an issue at all, i just bought one just in case, when i put it on, ill post if there is a differencealso replace that air filter.. both of these should be under 20$


PC games are a great way to idle away a few hours at your computer. However, running these games can retard your computer system by storing a number of the settings incorrectly. If you are finding this hard to follow, understand that PC games are constantly making use of innumerable setting and files that the computer requires to "read" for them to function effectively. While your computer is well equipped to handle this operation, it can cause Windows to become perplexed and hamper the proper functioning of your PC games.
A major reason for your computer games operating at a slower pace is because a number of issues have arisen in a section of your computer that is known as the "registry." The registry is the main database where critical settings and details about your computer is located. Moreover, you will find every single setting and option that your computer software uses for running. The registry is continuously saving and opening files for running, making it the heart of your computer's operations. It is also where a majority of your computer's malfunctions take place.
The trouble with the registry is that each time you start your computer; countless settings within the machine get affected, causing the system to take more time to read the necessary files. Since PC games employ a large number of the registry settings when in use, a number of these games function at a lower rate due to damaged settings.
Corrupt registry is the chief cause for problems in gaming. You can sort this out by making use of a software tool called the "registry cleaner" that repairs the errors. You can download a registry cleaner that is devised to carry out a scan on your computer and mends the errors that impair your computer. Once this is done, you can enjoy all the latest computer games without experiencing any glitches when you are playing. In the process, the speed and responsiveness of your system gets enhanced.
Ultimately, there are numerous factors that can cause turbulence in your PC gaming fun. Lagging games can be brought on by a sluggish computer, inferior graphics card / driver or a slow Internet connection. The most effective way of resolving these difficulties is to install a registry cleaner program that can increase the amount of time taken to load games on your computer as well as make for a faster gaming entertainment.

Cranial Nerve and Intramedullary Spinal Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Associated with Neurofibromatosis-1.
Surgical Neurology International
Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are uncommon but aggressive neoplasms associated with radiation exposure and neurofibromatosis Type I (NF1). Their incidence is low compared to other nervous system cancers, and intramedullary spinal lesions are exceedingly rare. Only a few case reports have described intramedullary spinal cord MPNST.
Case Description: We describe the clinical findings, management, and outcome of a young patient with NF1 who developed aggressive cranial nerve and spinal MPNST tumors. This 35-year-old patient had familial NF1 and a history of optic glioma treated with radiation therapy (RT). She developed a trigeminal MPNST that was resected and treated with RT. Four years later, she developed bilateral lower extremity deficits related to an intramedullary cervical spine tumor, treated surgically, and found to be a second MPNST.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cranial nerve and intramedullary spinal MPNSTs manifesting in a single patient, and only the third report of a confined intramedullary spinal MPNST. This unusual case is discussed in the context of a contemporary literature review.

So are you using the JBL 2226h in a subwoofer type cabinet? Parden my ignorance but doesn't the 2226h work better as a woofer for, say, 70hz to 250hz? I was under the impression that pro-style woofers, such as the 2226h, work better at the upper low frequencies and that they do not work well with the ultra low frequencies? I guess I was wrong.
I have been kicking around the idea of building some Seos-15's over the Klipsch inspired Corn-Scala's that I was initially considering as everyone tells me the Seos-15 will best it. If and when I do build a trio of Seos-15's, I wonder how the 2226h would work as the LF driver in that design, along with a DNA-360? Has any one ever done a 3 way build with the Seos-15's?

Consumer perception of proteins
A question for product developers is how far are consumers willing to go in experimenting with new types of protein? Insights from the market research company GlobalData Plc may provide some answers.
Every two years GlobalData conducts a survey of consumers from around the world that focuses on consumer awareness of specific ingredients and how consumers perceive ingredients and whether they are considered healthy. In the 2017 study GlobalData researchers asked about a variety of protein sources.
Pea protein, for example, fared well, said Tom Vierhile, innovation insights director for GlobalData. The data Mr. Vierhile shared with Food Business News represented the knowledge and opinions of consumers in North America.
“Consumer awareness (of pea protein) in 2017 was 47%, up from 38% in ’15,” he said. “Eighteen per cent don’t know what pea protein is. That figure in 2015 was 30%. So, that’s a pretty good sign that the ingredient is on the rise.”
Mr. Vierhile called chickpeas an “ingredient to watch,” with 57% of consumers perceiving the ingredient positively and only 10% not being familiar with it.
“Egg protein did very well,” he said. “That suggests to me there is some potential upside for experimenting with egg protein. Sixty-three per cent of consumers said it has a positive impact on health while only 5% view it negatively. Egg protein scored higher than chicken, meat, soy, pea and whey protein in the survey. I think for eggs there is a story there.”
While consumer interest in products featuring protein remains steady, product developers must be cognizant of potential “landmines,” Mr. Vierhile said.
“I was curious to see how sophisticated consumers are to individual types of protein,” he said.
Using casein as an example, he said 44% of Americans don’t know what it is.
“We are seeing companies referencing specific proteins on labels, but there are some landmines with lesser known proteins like casein,” he said.
Another ingredient that remains challenged is protein sourced from insects. Between 2015 and 2017, consumer awareness of the ingredient has risen from 15% to 26%, according to the GlobalData research.
“Still, 32% of consumers don’t understand what it is,” Mr. Vierhile said. “It’s not an ingredient that is exactly on fire; 26% is quite low.”

“Cast of 25, 67 wigs, over 100 costumes and over 500 costume pieces” rattles off producer and director Joe Hynes, as I take a peek backstage at Super Summer Theatre before its opening night of The Wedding Singer. The musical version of the 1998 Adam Sandler flick gives audiences more of the characters than the film version does—and that’s a good thing. It wasn’t necessarily the main characters, Robbie and Julia, who made the film funny, but more so the side characters who were caricatures of ’80s culture—Robbie’s bandmates, Sammy and George; his grandma, Rosie; his elusive ex-girlfriend, Linda; and Julia’s friend, Holly, and fiancée, Glen. The ensemble cast made the movie memorable, and this musical lets you see more of it.
Under the direction of Toby McEvoy, a 12-piece band takes the audience through upbeat tunes that shine the spotlight on each cast member (because you can only take so much sap with songs like “Grow Old With You”). Linda serves up some dirty glam-rock with solo dance numbers, “A Note From Linda” and “Let Me Come Home,” Holly rallies with “Pop!” and “Saturday Night in the City,” and although he’s a chauvinistic product of ’80s corporate culture, Glen makes you want to hear more of what he has to say (or sing) during “All About the Green.”
Similar to the film, some of the show’s funniest lines are delivered by Rosie. Her duet with Robbie’s melodica-playing bandmate George was outrageous—in a good way. With all the ’80s archetypes and music, Hynes and the actors aim to find a balance between camp parody and human moments of heartbreak and love. The cast and crew of SST’s staging of The Wedding Singer take that challenge in stride, amplifying and adding to the film’s beloved punchlines and plot twists.
Super Summer Theatre’s The Wedding Singer
June 14–17, 21–24, 8 p.m., $15–$20, Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, 6375 NV-159, Blue Diamond, supersummertheatre.org

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Patna/New Delhi: On the IRCTC case against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad and his family, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Nand Kishore Yadav today said the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is doing its job and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has taken the initiative to lead the probe into the matter.
Speaking to ANI, the Bihar minister said, “The ED is doing its job. The court has also said that investigations will be done on these matters. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has taken the initiative to lead the probe.”
“All the scams and black money cases are being investigated and enquired. There is no case left untouched,” he said.
Earlier, in the day, the ED attached three acres of land belonging to RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his family.
He added that Lalu Prasad should give an explanation and show from where all this money came.
“If they are not furnishing an explanation then it tells that there is something serious about this,” Nand Kishore further said.
Meanwhile, RJD leader Jaiprakash Narayan Yadav said this is a conspiracy by the Central Government and the other investigative agencies.
“Whether it is the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) or ED or any other agency, it is a conspiracy done by them. Deliberately they are insulting Lalu ji and his family. People of Bihar are seeing this and they understand everything,” Jaiprakash added.
He further said in the coming time, people will give an answer to this in a democratic manner through voting.
“No matter how much they insult Lalu ji, in the end the truth will only win and he will win one day,” he asserted.
The ED on Friday attached three acres of land worth Rs 44.75 crore (circle rate) of Lara Project of Rabri Devi and her family under PMLA in connection with the IRCTC case.
Earlier on October 10, Tejashwi was interrogated by ED for eight and half hours.
He was questioned about money laundering in the railway hotel allotment case as the agency was unsatisfied with the earlier probe.
The investigative agency had, in July, registered a corruption case against Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi, Sarla Gupta, wife of Prem Chand Gupta, Vijay Kochar and Vinay Kochar, both directors of Messer’s Sujata Hotel Private Limited, Messer’s Delight Marketing Private Limited, P.K. Goel, the then Managing Directors, IRCTC and others under Section 120B read with Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 13(2) read with Section 13(1)d Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 in connection with the case.
The FIR, lodged by the CBI against the RJD chief, stated there were irregularities in awarding the tender for development, maintenance and operation of the BNR hotels in Ranchi and Puri when he was the railway minister from 2004 to 2009.
The investigating agency had alleged the tender process was rigged, manipulated and the conditions were tweaked by the then railway minister to help a private hotel company. (ANI)


Public urged to back new hospital plans
THE PUBLIC has been urged to get behind proposals for a new community hospital to serve a large rural area of north Suffolk and south Norfolk.Details of the proposals - drawn up by the Hartismere Hospital league of Friends at Eye - were presented to a packed public meeting in Hoxne Village Hall.
By David Green
THE PUBLIC has been urged to get behind proposals for a new community hospital to serve a large rural area of north Suffolk and south Norfolk.
Details of the proposals - drawn up by the Hartismere Hospital league of Friends at Eye - were presented to a packed public meeting in Hoxne Village Hall.
Suffolk East Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) have submitted plans to Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt for the closure of the existing Hartismere Hospital and its replacement with enhanced “care in the community” services.
You may also want to watch:
The PCTs plan to sell off most of the hospital site for private nursing home and other development to help finance the new system.
But The League of Friends, which led an ultimately unsuccessful public campaign to persuade the PCTs to abandon the proposals, has now come up with its own alternative - a new community hospital providing “cradle to grave” care.

Hopes of the project coming to fruition have been boosted by an announcement from Ms Hewitt earlier this week that £750 million was being made available nationwide for existing community hospitals.
Eric Havers, League of Friends chairman, appealed to the public to support the new hospital idea.
“We want the area to buzz with what we are proposing. People power can have a great influence, particularly if young people get involved,” he said.
Volunteers were also being sought to help maintain a dialogue with the PCTs.
Mr Havers said a new building could be the most cost effective option but if money was available, it could make sense to consider improvements to the existing building.
“We are planning to take a road show around the area to provide local people with information about what we are proposing.
“Our objective is to share the vision for Hartismere and how we believe it could affect the lives of most people living within the catchment area of 10-12 miles,” he said.
Mr Havers' call for public support was echoed by Sir Michael Lord, MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, who said Hartismere could become a fully operational community hospital.
A statement handed out at the meeting by the PCTs said they were committed to maintaining a dialogue and working with the local community.
It said: “As we await the outcome of the review by the Secretary of State this communication is regarded as highly relevant and important.”
