Do you study better in groups or alone?
When it comes to studying, there’s no one-size-fits-all model. Every student has their own studying preferences and learning styles. Apart from the VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic) learning styles that most of us are all too familiar with, it is also important to determine who to study with – Should you study alone or in a group?
One method isn’t necessarily better than the other but it might work better for you. Here are some things to consider when deciding between studying alone or with a group of peers.
When your group of peers get together to study, you may find it hard to stay on track with all the ongoing distractions as the conversation shifts from lesson material to current events. Studying alone minimizes distractions and allows you to concentrate on the lesson at hand. The absence of peer pressure also makes it easier to avoid temptations.
Work At Your Own Pace
Studying alone allows you to work at your own pace and take breaks whenever you feel overwhelmed. You can choose what areas to give more attention to. When you spend more time and give more focus to the concepts that you’re struggling with, you’ll soon be able to master it in no time!
Sometimes, the topics that your study partners want to focus on might be those that you already know like the back of your hand. When you work alone, you decide how much time to devote on each topic, allowing you to spend your already limited time more wisely and make studying more efficient.
As you verbalize concepts and explain material to your study partners, you improve your knowledge retention. The more you repeat the information, the stronger your memory becomes, the easier to recall relevant information – a rule of thumb when it comes to improving knowledge retention.
Greater Information Pool
Stuck on that one concept you can't get a hang of? Ask your study peers! Studying in group expands your access to information as your study partners share different insights and information during discussions. These open discussions enhances your thinking and understanding. You can also share study notes and other class materials for your learning benefits.
In a group study, your study partners will be around to push you to study when you become off task hence pushing to you maximize the time you spend studying. When you see your fellow study peers working so hard for an upcoming examination, you might feel the pressure to work as hard as or even harder than them because of the fear that you may lag behind.
How Do I Know What Works Best For Me?
In order to succeed, you must try each option and stick to what works. I too had some trial and errors to figure out my learning style but I now know that I'm an independent learner because a quiet study environment allows me to focus easily. My friends found it a bummer that I always opt out of our study sessions but hey, instead of getting pressured to join study sessions that may lower your productivity, you should do what works best for you!
What about you? Does this information help you understand your study preferences better? Have you come to terms with what works best for you? If you have, great for you! You can now start organizing study groups or set aside time to study alone. If you have not, don’t worry too much about it. Take your time to figure out whether studying alone or in a group works best for you by experimenting between these two options with Cudy, as we offer online tuition in Singapore, !
For a start, you may try experimenting with the options provided at Cudy. We offer you the options of a 1-to-1 tuition or a group tuition.

Effingham will get its once-a-decade in-depth look in the coming months as a planning task force puts together an update to the city’s goals and objectives.
Businesses and organizations from every sector of the city have been asked to join a planning task force following a review of the 2010 Census.
“We’ll look at goals and objectives the city had in place, look at what we did, what we did well and what to do differently,” said City Administrator Jim Arndt. “We’re making sure we’re on target and doing what the community wants us to do.”
About 20 people from industry, entertainment, housing, restaurant, retail, public services, the Chamber of Commerce and the health sector have been contacted to join the group. The first meeting is scheduled to take place toward the end of September.
After that, the group will meet without a city representative present, probably in October. A consultant will then come back to the city to share what was discussed during the meetings.
“It’s all designed to make sure we’re going in the right direction, as far as housing development, city growth,” Arndt said.
Other areas to be assessed include fire and police departments, parks and recreation, and commercial and transportation growth.
“We want to make sure we have a growth management plan and make sure how we want to grow is the way we should grow,” said Arndt. “It’s good to reach out to get input from the community. There’s a lot of value in that. … You know that old saying, ‘You can’t see the forest because of the trees.’ This snapshot gives us a better view of the forest.”
The task force will review its findings with city administration in late 2013 to early 2014, at which time commissioners will adopt a plan to reach those goals.
“It’s about where we’ve grown, where we’ve been, where we want to go and how we get there,” Arndt said.


The Motorized Divisions
The Royal Italian Army’s vision of a mechanized army included infantry divisions that would ride to battle in trucks or, preferably, armored tracked carriers. Just like the formation of armored divisions, that part of the program proceeded far more slowly than the army command wished. Italian industry did a much better job making trucks than tanks, both in quantity and quality, but even so could not produce enough vehicles.
Two motorized infantry divisions formed in 1935, the 8th “Po” and 1st “Trento,” later re-numbered 32nd. Each division had two regiments of infantry, one of Bersaglieri and one motorized artillery regiment. They participated in maneuvers in the Po Valley with the two armored brigades, later raised to division status, as the Italian Army worked out its mobile doctrine.
In the 1939 and 1940 the Army embarked on a re-organization of its motorized forces. Three infantry divisions (9th “Pasubio,” 10th “Piave” and 52nd “Torino) became “semi-motorized” units, in which the infantry marched on foot but the division had enough trucks to move its artillery and logistical services or to motorize some of its infantry, as the command staff found necessary.
A Fiat Dovunque truck shows off its off-road abilities.
The two fully motorized divisions underwent re-organization as well. They kept their Bersaglieri regiments, but their infantry regiments had only two battalions plus a mortar company, instead of the three battalions common to standard infantry regiments. To make up for that they had a divisional heavy weapons battalion with more mortars, anti-tank guns and machine guns. The two divisions shuffled their infantry regiments and took on new numbers, 32nd “Trieste” becoming 101st “Trieste” with the 65th and 66th “Valtellina” infantry regiments plus 9th Bersaglieri Regiment and 8th “Po” Division becoming 102nd Trento with 61st and 62nd “Sicilia” infantry regiments plus 7th Bersaglieri Regiment.
Both divisions moved to Italy’s north-western frontier in the late spring of 1940 and fought in the brief campaign against the French. Afterwards they returned to northern Italy to continue training; the Trieste Division’s 21st Motorized Artillery Regiment went to Albania in November 1940 and returned to the division in the following summer.
The 102nd “Trento” Motorized Division received orders to deploy to North Africa in March 1941, to join the 132nd “Ariete” Armored Division (which had moved to Libya in January and February) in a new Italian motorized corps. The division fought in the Axis counter-offensive across Cyrenaica, fighting very well at the battles around Halfaya Pass later that spring and in resisting the Allied offensive known as Operation Crusader in November 1941. At the Battle of Gazala the Trento Division gave up its trucks and fought on foot as part of the Italian X Corps. That would doom the division six months later at Alamein, when it was unable to escape for lack of transport and was destroyed.
The 101st “Trieste” Motorized Division received its orders for the North African theater in August 1941, arriving at the front lines (then in eastern Cyrenaica) in October. Trieste saw its first extensive action during Operation Crusader where it performed well, and in the Axis counter-offensive that followed. During the Battle of Gazala the Trieste Division attacked to the north of the Free French positions at Bir Hacheim and ended up bogged down in heavy fighting with the exiles. The British broke through the 65th Infantry Regiment during the Battle of El Alamein, helping to start the Axis retreat that finally ended in Tunisia. Trieste made it back to that French colony and fought the Allied armies until the final collapse of the Axis position in Africa in May 1943.
The Trieste Division served as the testing ground for the proposed “AS 42” reorganization of the Italian infantry into combined-arms teams. The 9th Bersaglieri were detached to serve directly under higher command (as occurred with Trento’s 7th Bersaglieri). The two infantry regiments were each re-organized from the standard three identical infantry battalions into two rifle battalions and a heavy weapons battalion, with additional machine guns, medium mortars and anti-tank guns intermixed with the riflemen. This organization greatly reduced the number of infantrymen but substantially increased its firepower thanks to the high proportion of automatic weapons and 47mm anti-tank guns, which also had an excellent high-explosive round. While some sources claim that Trieste maintained its divisional heavy weapons battalion as well as the two regimental battalions, this does not appear to be true.

By the time of the Alamein battles the division also had its own tank battalion with M13/40 medium tanks, and a battalion of Bersaglieri-manned armored cars (mostly equipped with captured British vehicles). The artillery regiment had been beefed up with more 100mm guns, which also saw use in an anti-tank role when needed, and a battalion of German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns (these last do not appear to have been fully issued).
Transport remained a weakness; Trieste did not have enough of the excellent Fiat 666 Dovunque all-terrain trucks and made do with standard vehicles that offered poor off-road performance – and almost all of the division’s movement in the North African theater took place off roads. The Royal Italian Army had a great deal of experience in the Libyan desert thanks to its campaigns against the Senussi, and had designed an armored all-terrain wheeled Dovunque that could carry infantrymen directly into battle and also tow small artillery pieces (the 47mm anti-tank gun and 20mm anti-aircraft gun). But this vehicle never entered series production. Eventually Trento was to receive the same organization as Trieste, but the additional weapons, vehicles and tanks did not make to the North Africa before the division was destroyed.
While the new organization produced divisions less than half the size of a British infantry division, it reflected the lessons of desert warfare far better than those of any of the other participants. The 47mm gun could still deal with almost any Allied tank at the time the new tables were drawn up (the American made Grant and Sherman would severely test its capabilities), and the big dual-purpose 88mm guns could deal with anything in the Allied arsenal. The organization would be short of infantrymen, but this wouldn’t have been a serious shortcoming in the open desert, where firepower counted for much more and close-range fighting would be far rarer than in denser environments.
Both the Trieste and Trento divisions appear in our Gazala 1942 game, and in our Heat Wave 2016 Golden Journal they’ve received their post-Gazala upgrades with real laser-cut and mounted playing pieces (both actual and planned). They are very capable, if small, formations as upgraded and play a major role in the Journal’s additional scenarios.

What does Christmas look like when you’ve got the funds and staff to make your wishes come true? How do you celebrate when you’ve got enough money to initiate a corporate takeover of Father Christmas’s toy factory?
“My clients have, on average, four to six trees inside,” says Adele Gregson, founder of The Christmas Company, a home-dressing service based in Cheshire whose past clients have included Cristiano Ronaldo, Mo Salah, Paddy McGuinness and Jonathon Ross. “Yesterday we did a property which had a 20-foot, a 16-foot, a 15-foot and three 9-foot trees. That took a team of 18 of us working from 6am until 11pm.”
Discretion is vital for Gregson’s clients. Around 40 per cent of them require non-disclosure agreements before work can begin, while most others ban phones during set-up.
Work on Christmas for the super rich starts early. At minimum, Gregson requires six weeks to pull together the elements required to transform a home into a winter wonderland, but often people start booking in early summer.
“High-net-worth individuals don’t want run of the mill,” says Gregson. “They want something that no one else will have. It requires time and creativity to come up with a concept which is both unique and fits with the property, and the person themselves.”
Things begin with a visit, when Gregson will meet the client and get a sense of their home; then it’s up to her to create a design. She operates a showroom where clients can tour some of the props and lighting options available to them. Once the concept gets signed off, production can begin, including finding or building the Christmas decor of their dreams.
“It tends to be large scale,” says Gregson. “They’ll have a vision of giant LED reindeer in the garden with a sleigh, and we make it real. Or it might be something personal – we had a designer who loved shoes so we created a huge stiletto for her lawn. Giant baubles with each family member’s name is something we’ve done, hand-painted and hand-finished.
“Imagine the things you might see in a department store or a shopping centre, but grander and more personalised,” she continues. “This year I’ve put a giant carousel on somebody’s lawn. A lot of people have been asking for these BearBrick teddy bears, but life size, each personalised for a member of the family.”
Christmas-tree specialist Pines and Needles, which has decorated trees for Elton John, Madonna and members of the royal family, has had all sorts of encounters over the years. “One of the funniest was a customer who wanted a tree for every room, and they had a room full of parrots,” recalls Veronika Kusak, the company’s e-commerce director. “One of our guys was unnerved to be surrounded by birds the whole time he worked.”
Though the average customer might only require a seven-foot tree, Kusak has experience selling up to 40-foot trees, although 25 feet is a popular option for those with a spiral staircase.
While the average customer can buy or rent decorations from Pines and Needles (red and gold are the perennial favourite colours, though a regal blue and gold comes a close second this year) along with their tree, the top-tier clients often have bespoke requirements. “We did the home of pop singer Duffy years ago and she asked for garlands of lights and flowers on all the railings up her staircase,” Kusak remembers. “My fingers still ache when I think about getting all those things attached.”
Another memorable one was a client who wanted a “pink Christmas” with a very specific shade in mind, at very short notice. “We have a lot of decorations in stock, so that was okay, but pink lights was a nightmare,” Kusak explains. “We had someone trawling every shopping centre in the country hunting for lights in the specific shade for two days.”
Floral artist Amie Bone was requested to create an igloo with a forest in a client’s hallway. “It took my team of 12 a whole day to install the 14 fully dressed Christmas trees and cover the floor in artificial snow,” Bone says. “It was worth it though, when we revealed it to the children; they loved it so much that they spent most of the festive period there.”
Those with the funds to really splash out might opt for a “live” element to their festive bonanza, says Liz Taylor from the Taylor Lynn Corporation, home dressers and party planners to stars including Gary Barlow, Mary Portas and Gary Neville.
“Often, if they’ve got young children, the concept is building Santa’s Grotto or having a real person who plays the Elf on the Shelf singing Christmas carols,” says Taylor. “You can bring the live ingredients into it if you’re retained to entertain during the Christmas period, which often we are asked to do.
“Once we did a party set in Narnia. You walked through the wardrobe, through mink coats, and into Narnia. We created this magnificent Christmas concept with see-through tables filled with white twigs, white foliage and white flowers. It was simple but jaw-dropping,” she says.
Though her clients have the budget to make anything they can imagine come true (prices start at £5,000 but she’s had clients paying up to £175,000 for a Christmas installation in the past), “sometimes less is more,” says Taylor. “People get excited and want everything, but what a designer brings is a curatorial eye. We’re doing one next week with magnificent blown-glass icicles set against a very luxurious, delicate tinsel backdrop: it’s simple, but with a lot of lights threaded through it, it will bring the whole hallway to life.”
One approach which can work in any home is to accessorise a pre-existing feature, Taylor explains. “We did a wonderful thing with a grand piano in somebody’s house, with trailing fresh and dried Christmas garlands dripping off, like it was breathing life into the room,” she recalls. “They placed candles into it and it became a nod to a tree without being so obvious. Other times we’ve dressed floor-to-ceiling chandeliers to turn those into huge glass trees.”
A keen eye for detail is vital when working with the super rich, says Taylor. “You can’t have trailing wires or big obvious outdoor generators in grounds which are sometimes acres and acres wide. When a client wanted an enormous glowing metallic robot in a tree in their garden, it was a challenge but we made it work.”
Money can buy a lot of things, but perfect domestic harmony isn’t one of them, especially when it comes to decorating for Christmas.
“One thing we see a lot is that the husband and wife have different tastes,” admits Gregson. “Men tend to prefer either traditional stuff or wacky things, whereas women are usually a bit more design-led and modern: greys and clays. They end up having these annual arguments over how to decorate, which can be a nightmare for us. We’re already there and getting to work and he’s demanding, ‘I want this,’ and she’s saying, ‘I want that,’ and he says, ‘I’m paying for it,’ and she says, ‘I helped plan the design,’ so we’re piggy in the middle. The thing is that when these people want something, they really want it.”
For this year, the trends are “a lot of glass, a lot of light, a lot of delicate classy tinsel”, says Taylor. “A lot of animal skins and furs at the bottom of the trees. It’s a lot of tangible, tactile stuff. We haven’t done a lot of red bows and gold things this year.”
Gregson says she has installed a lot of decorations around the themes of “teddy bears and hot-air balloons, weirdly”. She has also seen a big resurgence of nutcrackers, having installed a pair of 17-foot ones last week.
Ultimately though, the super rich want the same thing that everyone wants for Christmas: magic. And whether you’re hiring a luxury designer or merely raiding the local supermarket for decorations, anyone can achieve it, says Taylor. “Magic is in the unexpected,” says the designer. “If you look in a nook and see a Christmas elf hiding, or you look up into a tree and see an unexpected festive robin, that’s magic. The unpredictable, the way lights change the ambience; it’s about creating a story and a journey. If you can do that, you’ve captured Christmas magic in your decor.”

DARKE COUNTY – One Greenville young man could lose out on getting community assistance and help from abusing alcohol and drugs because of a pending sentence in another county.
Dustin L. Taylor, 24, of Greenville and Troy, was sentenced on Monday at the Darke County Courthouse to 18 months in prison for aggravated vehicular assault due to a traffic crash that occurred last fall.
Six months of that time could take place in Dayton through the MonDay Community Correctional Institution. MonDay allows offenders to get drug and alcohol treatment, while assisting them in job training before being released, according to Judge Jonathan P. Hein of the Darke County Common Pleas Court.
While Taylor was in Darke County Monday to face sentencing for the crash, he is currently being held on charges at the Miami County Jail in Troy for criminal trespassing, and two counts related to having a weapon while under the influence and intoxicated, according to the Miami County Sheriff’s Office
The Miami County offense could compromises Taylor’s opportunity to get help.
Judge Hein told Taylor that if the Miami Courts give him more than a year for the Miami case, he could lose the opportunity to be in the MonDay Community program.
Assistant Darke County Prosecutor, Jesse Green, recommended a year in prison for Taylor’s aggravated vehicular assault charge, because Taylor was originally arrested on charges of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol.
Taylor’s girlfriend was injured during the crash on Sept. 12, 2013 and is seeking payment for the medical bills of $5,000 or $1,000 a year for five years.
Taylor told Judge Hein that Taylor’s girlfriend and another individual in the vehicle were arguing when the crash occurred.
Green, however, called the crash an “incident” rather than an “accident,” because of the claim that alcohol was involved, but that charge was dropped. When Judge Hein asked about the amount of blood alcohol content, court officials didn’t have it. While Taylor admitted to having an alcohol and drug problem in court, he had refused an alcohol test at the time of the crash.
Randall Breaden, defense attorney for Taylor, said that the 18-month sentence could run concurrently or consecutively to Taylor’s sentence in Miami County.
Breaden and Judge Hein also said that Taylor never had the chance to try community control sanctions and could face not having a job after being released from prison, substance abuse and be a risk to society.
“You’ve worked your way up the poll of nuisances,” said Judge Hein, calling Taylor a “high risk” individual who keeps getting into “worse and worse” situations, which is why he is recommending the MonDay program. He also cited Taylor’s court history starting with alcohol and drug abuse at age 11.
Taylor was remorseful and teary eyed during the hearing. He told the court that he doesn’t go looking for victims and could understand why his girlfriend would want help to pay her medical bills.

Contractor Al Ghurair is using shoring from RMD Kwikform to install upto 90 Skywalk link bridges, designed to interconnect all the buildings at the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The tubular type bridges are being installed in phases as new commercial buildings are constructed in the expanding financial district. Ranging in height from 4.5 metres to 6 metres, each steel fabricated Skywalk bridge is different in length, with a standard width of 4.5 metres. In order to support the installation of the first three bridges, a modular shoring solution was designed by RMD Kwikform engineers.
Commenting on the design Stuart Bland, RMD Kwikform Regional Manager said: “Due to the weight of the steel sections and the need for fast assembly cycles, we designed a solution using our 80kN modular Rapidshor shoring. This was combined with steel Superslim Soldier primary and aluminium Alform secondary beams to create a safe support for each steel section to rest on, allowing the Skywalk bridges to be connected together and into the fabric of the buildings.
“Thanks to the varying leg lengths of Rapidshor and the fine adjustment made possible using the system jack, it was simple for the Al Ghurair site team to achieve the desired height and support for each bridge.”
Supported by a member of the RMD Kwikform site assistance team, the Al Churair team were able to successfully install each of the steel and glass Skyway structures, allowing pedestrians to move from one building to the next in a climate controlled environment.

The Steadman Clinic has been repairing injured skiers and riders, as well as world famous athletes, for over 20 years. The Vail Valley fixture is essential to those with knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, spine and neck injuries.
The hallway of fame in the clinic is full of framed jerseys and autographs of athletes from around the world, including Greg Norman, Mario Lemieux, Dan Marino, Alex Rodriguez, Lindsey Vonn, Amare Stoudemire, and Yao Ming. They're just a few of those who have been treated. Nearly 4,500 people were treated last year alone. Offices are in Vail, and in nearby Frisco, which is in Summit County, another ski hub of the state.
Lyon Steadman, CEO of The Steadman Clinic says, "Our primary goal is to serve this community and keep our extremely active Colorado population enjoying the sports and activities they love as long as possible. We also see patients from across the country and all over the world make the trip to Vail to see our doctors."
That includes injured skiers and riders who come off the nearby slopes of Vail and Beaver Creek every day. Steadman says, "Knee injuries are the most common followed by shoulder."
Someone who has had surgery on both is former U.S. Ski Team downhiller Chad Fleischer, who now runs a ski shop in Steamboat. His first surgery was a shoulder in 1999. "It is stronger than my shoulder that never got hurt or fixed."
Fleischer's next injury was to his knee. "My knee folded in the wrong direction two weeks before the 2002 Olympics in Switzerland. Since that day I have had 10 surgeries, and the last being two years ago. It feels better now than it has since the accident but I did a lot of damage."
Fleischer says The Steadman Clinic is world-renowned and sees everyone from soccer stars, tennis stars, ski racers, race car drivers, football players, baseball players, and more. "There is nowhere else in the world more people trust as a professional athlete than The Steadman Clinic and that to me says it all. We are talking about athletes whose careers are at stake as well as their livelihood."
Lyon Steadman adds that athletes do not get priority, "But we will add additional cases because our doctors understand that an athlete's physical well being is their entire career and timeliness is crucial."
He adds that Dr. Steadman played football at Texas A&M under Coach Bear Bryant. "Most of our surgeons were athletes, so that creates a respect and consideration throughout our clinic culture."
Fleischer says physical therapy is crucial and all part of the big picture. "It is a team of true professionals who care deeply about every single person who comes through the doors and it is hard to believe how dedicated they are and have been since day one in Vail."

Sinclair C5: A Piece of Britain's Tech History
The Sinclair C5 electric vehicle is one of the strangest and most fascinating creations in the history of transport. The brainchild of computer magnate Sir Clive Sinclair, the C5 was intended to be an affordable electric vehicle that would lead to the development of larger and more ambitious models. However, its small size, short-range, low speed, and an open cockpit made the C5 a flop when it was released in 1985.
Why is the Sinclair C5 so rare?
Due to Clive Sinclair's fame, the launch of the C5 received extensive press coverage. However, this public attention wasn't matched by sales. Only about 5,000 units were sold before Sinclair Vehicles went out of business. Unsold models from the original production run also became collectable after the company's collapse, but even those only amounted to another 9,000 units. Over the years, interest in this unique historical vehicle continued to grow, resulting in a thriving community of collectors. With interest high and numbers low, the Sinclair C5 became a sought-after item.
C5 component checklist
The Sinclair C5 had a number of removable parts or additional accessories. Like all small pieces, these had a tendency to get lost, meaning that even some complete C5 vehicles don't have them. If you're looking to buy a complete vehicle, make sure that your purchase includes the following items:
- Both keys. The original C5 came with a key for the power switch and one for the boot.
- Front wheel cover.
- Outer and inner rear wheel covers.
- Optional extras, such as wing mirrors, high visibility mast, horn, and indicators.
Is the Sinclair C5 a bicycle or a car?
Clive Sinclair insisted that his creation was a "vehicle" rather than a car. Since it has pedals, the Sinclair C5 is sometimes called a "C5 electric bike", but this label is also inaccurate. The C5 has two rear wheels and one front wheel, making it a tricycle rather than a bicycle.
Tested and untested C5s
Not all Sinclair C5 vehicles are alike, so make sure you're buying the one that's right for you. Some C5s are fully tested and working; the electrical systems are functioning and the battery has been replaced. This may mean that the vehicle has been modified to accept a modern battery. Note that a C5 listed as untested isn't necessarily not working. It simply means that without a battery it hasn't been possible to check whether the electrical systems are functioning.


I knew when Steve Jobs pulled that MacBook Air out of the envelope on stage at WWDC that the new wave of popular notebooks would be thin machines. It took a few months after we first laid eyes on the MacBook Air, but eventually we saw Windows machines that were thin and sexy start to trickle onto the market.
Today we have the thin, sexy and expensive Dell Adamo, but with the current economy, who wants to spend thousands of dollars on a notebook? - Acer has unveiled a line of its own thin notebooks that have great battery life and a wealth of other features.
Today we are looking at the Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T-8480, which we will just call the Timeline from here on out. Acer promises all day computing on a single charge and the machine is thin and nicely designed as well. If you are in the market for a thin and sexy notebook that won't break the bank, the Timeline we are checking out today may be just what you need. Read on for all the details.

A new choice of "Joe Pye weed" flowering July to September. Robust plants carry wine-red coloration, particularly in the stems. Eupatorium Gateway has flower clusters that are deep pink. In the background, along pond or stream edges, or on the edge of woodlands, a truly showy, decorative plant. Road salt tolerant.
This handsome statuesque stunner is tidy and strong stems keep it standing tall. Joe Pye Weed is adored by butterflies.
Eupatorium are great perennials to add stature to the back of the border without ever needing to be staked. An excellent performer that will tolerate a moist site. Lots of late summer color attractive to butterflies. Eupatorium has recently been reclassified to Eutrochium.
Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho
at this time.
Best in a consistently moist site. If height control is desired, pinch plants in early June when they are about 3' tall. This will cause additional branching to emerge from one pinched stem which creates bushier plants with just slightly smaller 5" diameter flowers. Benefits from division every 4-5 years in spring or fall. Slow to emerge in spring. Stems and seedheads are attractive in early winter.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Mayor of Bekasi Rahmat Effendi reacted to the viral video that showed a man being confronted and ousted by the local Al Amanah mosque management, located in Bekasi, due to the man’s decision to wear a face mask. This video garnered national attention which angered many people.
“We should have collective responsibility in controlling this Covid-19 pandemic,” said Rahmat Effendi on Monday, May 3.
The incident itself was quickly solved at the local police municipality. The mayor along with Armed Forces (TNI) and Police officials visited the mosque to confront management about the viral video.
“[The issue is] already clear and we expect the health protocols will be our collective understanding,” he said.
However, this turns out not to be the first health protocol violation found in the mosque as the local Covid-19 task force received numerous reports suggesting that the mosque violated physical distancing protocols for Ramadan night prayers or tarawih.
The Bekasi mayor insisted that the government will remain consistent in applying health protocols to curb the spread of coronavirus in public facilities as the region saw improvements with 98 percent recovery rate.
“There are 0.79 active cases which is well below average,” said Rahmat.

Cardinals lose 34-22 to Seahawks
GLENDALE, Ariz. — A sluggish start staggered the Arizona Cardinals. An inability to run the ball or keep defenders off their quarterback finished them off.
Carson Palmer was sacked seven times and the Cardinals had almost no run game to take the pressure off him, killing their chances of a comeback in a 34-22 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night.

Legendary filmmaker Les Blank dies
Les Blank’s work will be showcased in Toronto as the recipient of Hot Docs 2013 Outstanding Achievement Award.

He was 77.
A prolific filmmaker who often turned his camera on the offbeat and unusual, Blank was honoured with a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute.
“I think he’s a national treasure,” filmmaker Taylor Hackford, president of the Directors Guild of America, told the New York Times. “Although his films are not well known at the moment, they’ll take their place”
“Les Blank was one of a kind,” said Hot Docs director of programming, Charlotte Cook, in a media statement. “His impact, and legacy, on documentary cinema is enormous and is one that we will all cherish forever. We are absolutely honoured to be showing many of his films at Hot Docs this year, and encourage everyone to come and celebrate Les with us at the festival. An incredible and glorious man.”
His subject matter ranged from garlic and gap-toothed women, to musician Dizzy Gillespie and filmmaker Werner Herzog eating a shoe, part of his making good in a bet.
Hot Docs, which runs April 25 to May 5, will screen Blank’s films in three programs, including Julie: Old Time Tales of the Blue Ridge and his portrait of Texan bluesman, Mance Lipscomb, A Well-Spent Life.

Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama on Wednesday expressed concern about the inability of the country's local government entities to have direct access to long-term credit markets.
He therefore suggested the need for considerable efforts to develop the financial infrastructure necessary to bring these entities to the market place.
Vice President Mahama expressed these views when he inaugurated a 16-member Steering Committee of the Municipal Finance and Management Initiative in Accra.
The Committee which is co-chaired by Mr Abraham Odoom, Deputy Minister, Local Government, Rural Development and Environment and Professor George Gyan Baffour, Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning is aimed at improving local government's access to credit for accelerated provision of public services and economic development and reduce risk and lower costs of borrowing.
Vice President Mahama said increase in the flow of private funding for the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) would be realised through specialised commercially viable and well-capitalised financial intermediaries that could independently mobilise long-term debt on private markets for on-lending for priority local infrastructure investments.
"Lessons around the world suggest that the investment components of such Special Financial Intermediaries (SFIs) have been largely successful. They meet fiscal targets and add to the capacity of municipal infrastructure whilst helping MMDAs to build a sound credit record."
Vice President Mahama proposed that the SFIs for the MMDAs should be institutions, which can be able to raise long-term resources on private credit markets and operate in a financially sustainable manner.
"In addition, SFIs and municipal bond markets should play complementary roles in meeting local demand for long term credits.
"They should therefore offer alternative options in financing MMDAs even though their needs and capabilities vary in line with their economic size and resource base."
Mr. Kwadwo Baah-Wiredu, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning said the initiative would empower the MMDAs to access private capital to accelerate infrastructural development and service delivery.
He said it would also improve the financial and technical management of local governments.
Mr. Baah-Wiredu appealed to the country's development partners to assist in the development of the rural economy by supporting the Municipal Finance Authority.
Mr. Stephen Asamoah Boateng, Minister of Local Government, Rural Development and Environment said the rapid urbanisation the country was undertaking, reinforced the need to improve the often poorly maintained, infrastructure and to meet new demand for housing, education, water supply, sanitation, sewerage treatment and disposal, solid waste management and public transport.
"This requires massive investments, much of which should be financed, co-financed or guaranteed by local governments."
Mr. Asamoah said government was committed to deepen the financial base of the local governments by developing and building a formidable Local Government Credit market and assisting them in accessing long-term credits.
This will call for the enactment of Local Government Finance Act and establishment of a Financing Authority to assist local governments to access debt markets for infrastructural investments.
Dr Esther Offei, Director of the Institute of Local Government Studies, called for an effective municipal financing, which is vital to facilitate an efficient and effective delivery of services of local authorities and local economic development.
Mr. Kwame Pianim, Chief Executive Officer of New World Investments Limited and a member of the initiative, who chaired the function, said Ghana's economy was at a critical stage that called for infrastructural development to facilitate the process.

MOSCOW, March 14. /TASS/. A Russian Emergencies Ministry convoy that delivered urgent humanitarian aid to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in east Ukraine has returned to the Russian Federation, the ministry’s National Crisis Situations Management Center’s deputy head Oleg Voronov said.
Voronov said the return meant that an emergency stage of the relief action for Donbass has been completed.
"It was successful. There were no failures in the carrying out of this humanitarian mission. All cargoes were delivered to addressees, unloaded at depots. All trucks have returned to the Rostov Region empty after passing border and customs control," he said.
On Friday, more than 50 trucks delivered to the cities of Donetsk and Lugansk more than 250 metric tons of humanitarian aid for organization of spring agricultural work, ensuring life support of the population and restoration of socially significant facilities. The cargoes included foodstuffs, construction materials and materials for seedtime.
The ministry explained the dispatch of the extraordinary convoy by the complicated situation in Donbass over spring agricultural work, huge destruction in inhabited localities where there is an acute shortage of construction materials for restoration of housing and socially significant facilities.
Another extraordinary convoy will head for Donbass March 15.

Let's start this entry on this basis: Those that had something to lose in Hurricane Katrina have long since moved on. They've picked up the tattered and torn pieces of their lives and reassembled them, either back in New Orleans or in a new location. Those who had little to nothing to lose, who were already destitute and yes, living off of our tax dollars, are the only
ones still complaining about the lack of help, about the lack of current opportunities and still
living in government paid for housing (ie: FEMA trailers still set up in the area.)
Five months after Katrina, in February of 2006, there was outrage when FEMA began phasing out paid-for hotel rooms for 4,400 New Orleans residents & 12,000 around the nation. FIVE months of living in a hotel, of not paying a dime, of not needing money for rent or utilities. FIVE months. These 'victims' weren't just thrown out on the street though, oh no. They were given $1,800 for rent or housing
as they left their already paid for hotels. Of the 12,000 people whose benefit ended Monday, 10,500 have received rental assistance or a trailer, said Libby Turner, head of the Hurricane Katrina/Rita Transitional Housing Unit at FEMA.
Let's stop right here for a moment. WHAT IN THE HELL???? Why is a natural disaster the fault or responsibility of the government? Why do our tax dollars pay for such nonsense? A horrible event to occur, no doubt. Nothing has been done since the beginning but finger-pointing and blaming of the government in this situation. The Army built poor leeves. The government didn't bus people out. The government didn't move into the area fast enough. First of all, New Orleans is ridiculous in its pursuit of money ($77 BILLION)
from the Army Corps of Engineers for, 'faulty construction'. What did the city do to maintain these decades old leeves? The government didn't bus people out? What? Why didn't the city of New Orleans bus them out? Why did the city wait around on the federal
government? These same people whining about not getting bussed out sat on their lazy asses for at least five days while they watched the reports of the incoming storm. Don't have a car? TAKE A BUS or WALK. Basically, stop placing blame. The government didn't move in fast enough after? I don't even know what to say to this except, "waaah waaah waaah ."
So after five months of paid housing and checks in hand, what's the issue? People have no place to go. Well, after five months, why not? Is the government supposed to locate your next home for you too? Go in, sign the lease, sign for the keys, move in furnishings, stock your fridge and then carry you in with waving palm leaves? Has there been any gratitude for what has been so generously given? Not that I've seen. In fact, some of the people, when forced to leave the hotels, threatened hotel employees and armed guards had to be brought in. Get off your lazy fucking ass, the world owes you nothing, I owe you nothing!
Just this week, American Idol
featured a piece on charity work. Randy Jackson visited New Orleans and families still living in FEMA trailers
. Apparently these permanent
residents of the FEMA park missed that the housing was supposed to be temporary
(let's not forget to place adequate blame on FEMA for continuing to allow people to live there.) My interest in the plight of these people stops right there. NINETEEN months after Katrina, people are still living in FEMA trailers. If this fact is supposed to bring out sympathy in me, it doesn't. It brings out anger. What has happened to personal responsibility? What has happened to taking pride in working hard to provide things for yourself and for your children? It is lost because our government has made being lazy and irresponsible too easy.
Ray Naggin, go hang your head in shame. The only thing you've done is set the standard and example for people to whine and extort money out of whomever they can. You've set zero standard for picking up your life and moving on. At every turn, all I've seen from you is blame and anger. Blame that more wasn't done for your community before the hurricane, blame that after, not only was too little done but it was done too slowly. Anger that FEMA wasn't giving enough aid, anger that FEMA was cutting off aid too quickly. Anger and complaining that rebuilding efforts aren't being conducted quickly enough.
Here's a hint: The majority of New Orleans lies approximately 6 feet
below sea level. The city is in a hurricane-prone area. Hurricanes have occurred there before, they will happen there again. The city has been aware for decade after decade that one day, the, 'big one' would hit. New Orleans, before Katrina, was run down, nasty, full of poverty and yes, full of welfare recipients. The crime rate in New Orleans has long been discussed and known as an issue. Katrina displaced and the government paid for the moving of these denizens into Texas (and other states, but a large part were sent to Texas). The violent
crime rate in the areas where Katrina 'victims' were sent in Texas has gone up as much as 30%. I'm sure Texas thanks you. These violent offenders, that our tax dollars are paying for, are the same ones whining about the assistance, or lack thereof in their opinion, that they are being given
Let's emphasize the 'given' part because the housing, the money, the benefits aren't a loan that must repaid. 'Given' is exactly the right word because it seems the majority of the ungrateful aren't even doing anything productive with what they've been GIVEN. They aren't out taking any job they can get, they aren't out looking for further training to better their lives, they aren't out looking for better housing. What a slap in the face! Someone gives you the tools to rebuild your life and what do you do? You bitch about what you've been given, you bitch about what you don't have and then, you shit on what has been generously given. I would feel at least a little better about the billions that has been poured into the 'victims' if: a)they had been hard-working in the first place and suffered great loss b)they were hard working now c)they were showing signs of gratitude by making a massive effort not only rebuild their lives but better their lives. Why do we continue to give to what is the equivalent of bratty, spoiled children? When a child is undeserving, you don't continue to reward them. You don't continue to encourage their behavior.
I return to my original point. Those who had something to lose, even if it wasn't property or a home ownership, have moved on. Even those that were left behind by the government, not bussed out, not rescued and towed out immediately after, the ones that had something, have moved on. The people that had pride, a strong work ethic, a desire to make their own way in the world and not be dependent, they began moving on the next day. Those that took the minimum amount of assistance they needed or no help at all, those that relied on their own will and fight to survive, those that wanted a rebuilt life, their new life started as soon as the skies cleared. Those that were already lazy, thieving, criminals, those that were already leeching off the government and every system they could, those drains on society that aren't worth or time or efforts, they are the only ones still looking for more, still waiting for a ship to come rescue them and make their lives better.
When will people realize that they are the only ones responsible for their misfortunes, even when it comes in the form of a natural disaster? When the government stops any and all social assistance, that's when. When personal responsibility once again becomes personal and not governmental.

Spiritual freedom is often badly misunderstood, so I wanted to talk about some common misconceptions about it in today’s blog post.
A bonus misconception that I’ll add is that many people think that one singular spiritual moment will immediately dissolve all their ego forever, but that’s not typically how it is. Thus, spiritual awakening has been misunderstood as one of those singular moments, but it is only a starting point on the path to spiritual freedom. It’s best to look go of the search for that ONE moment to fix/change everything.
Please share this link if the post is helpful. Enjoy!
This is a common misconception about freedom, and it’s one of the ones that is technically true, but practically useless.
Yes. In freedom, we can do anything. But practically speaking, the ego and the spiritual ego love to use this idea as an excuse to indulge in any desire and fantasy they have. It’s a totally different thing to be free of the ego that wants to do whatever it has been conditioned to do. In that space, actions arise naturally, not unconsciously or instinctively.
#2 You Don’t Have to Do Anything to Realize Freedom
Here’s another misunderstanding that is technically true, but practically useless. Yes, we are all already free, and there is nothing to do to achieve spiritual freedom. However…
What we fail to acknowledge is that we are DOING all kinds of things all the time. From the moment you wake up, you are unconsciously remembering a vast story about who you are, what you do, what to pay attention to, what is important, and so forth. You remember this story so completely and quickly, that you don’t know what you are doing. To decide that you have nothing to do to realize freedom from this state just means you will keep acting out your unconscious ego story. That’s why inner work is so important, and spiritual inner work is about UNDOING things.
Think of the ego like a piece of knotted yarn that we pick apart. As we pick it apart, it comes back to its natural shape, at which point the need to do anything falls away. Inner work is the same. As we dissolve attachments to issues, the spiritual tool that has helped us us is no longer necessary. It gets put aside. This is what it is like to do inner work to help us realize spiritual freedom.
#3 You Will Feel Free
We often look for feelings to tell us how we are doing in life, but the freedom of resting as awareness is beyond all feelings. It Is.
Feeling free is an ego decision and a body experience that we like. So if you’re waiting to “feel” free, let that go. Whatever you are feeling is what you are feeling. Come back to witnessing your feelings from awareness instead.
#4 Spiritual Freedom Takes a Long Time and a Lot of Work
No. Spiritual freedom is here now. Time and work actually don’t have anything to do with it.
The amount of time and work needed have everything to do with individual resistance and sincerity. The insincere seeker tends to build more ego, and then needs even more time and work to unbuild their spiritual ego. The more someone resists reality, the longer it takes to acknowledge it.
Truly, spiritual freedom can be realized NOW. The amount of time and work will vary for each person.
#5 Spiritual Freedom Gives You Everything You Want
This one is one of the most common beliefs about spiritual paths. People often use different spiritual paths as wishing wells in hopes of being given all the soulmates, sex, money, homes, friendships, gadgets, toys, cars, adventures, trips, health, excitement, and whatever else they think they want. Some paths even try to give these things to people. Those of us on the path to spiritual freedom, however, only point you to reality and how to surrender to reality. Reality doesn’t give you everything you want. Reality can be quite harsh.
Additionally, this last misconception is often also a product of increasingly entitled and selfish people who don’t realized how much they have. Look around you. How much of the stuff in your life did you mine, gather, grow, build, construct, sew, etc.? It’s mostly all been created for you. One prominent example to me is the miracle of indoor plumbing. There are so many systems in place that allow us to not have to deal with poop!
I point these things out because most Westerners already have a ridiculous amount of stuff that no other human beings have ever had, and yet it isn’t enough for the Western Ego. And this ego carries its entitlement into the spiritual path.
Well, spiritual freedom gives you nothing, and this last point is why so many spiritual seekers fail. They are seeking something. But the sincere spiritual people find on this path the joy of not wanting far outweighs getting more.

disease is spread through the feces of carriers who have the bacteria in their intestines; some carriers may have diarrhea, but others may not. Infection comes after eating or drinking from something that has become contaminated; even touching

When Ben receives Alex’s frantic call he hurries to San Francisco to help him. Only then does Alex reveal that there’s another player who knows of the technology: Sarah Hosseini, a young Iranian American lawyer whom Alex has long secretly desired and whom Ben immediately distrusts.

AUTUMN in Herefordshire begins with farm trailers sashaying through B-roads, laden with freshly gathered hops and more than half the UK’s crop of cider apples. October is when the entire county reeks deliciously of fermenting windfallen fruit and when even the starlings have cider on their breath.
At Westons Cider Mill and Visitor Centre in Much Marcle, farmers are delivering more than 3,500 tonnes of apples to be crushed and cask-fermented (01531 660108, www.westons-cider.co.uk).
The family-owned Broome Farm, at Peterstow, near Ross-on-Wye (01989 562824), is one of several sites where visitors can tour orchards and sample cider straight from the cask. “People suddenly find that they can’t stand up,” says farmer Mike Johnson.

MOSINEE, Wis. (AP) – Wausau Paper is selling its specialty paper business and two mills in northern Wisconsin to a private equity firm for $130 million.
KPS Capital Partners, of New York, plans to acquire another company that will be combined with the specialty paper business. The Rhinelander and Mosinee paper mills employ about 900 workers.
Wausau Paper put its specialty paper business up for sale earlier this year while in a proxy fight with a New York-based hedge fund. Employees have been anxiously awaiting the outcome of the sale.
The deal with KPS requires United Steelworkers to ratify collective bargaining agreements with the new company. The transaction does not include Wausau Paper’s mill in Brainerd, Minn., where about 130 workers will lose their jobs when it closes early in the next quarter.

After 2004 this species has been recorded from all Belgian provinces.
The white caterpillar has a dark-brown head.
This species builds a slender, brown, spatula case cut out of a leaf. In May, the fully grown case is about 13 mm long. The mouth angle is circa 15°.
See also bladmineerders.be.
The eggs are deposited on the underside of a leaf of the host plant.
Before wintertime, mostly in September or October, the larva makes two consecutive youth cases before wintering. It resumes feeding in May, making the final case –in which it also pupates– in June, preferably on a twig and less often on a leaf.
The adults fly in June and particularly in July.
This species occurs everywhere in places with Alnus trees.

Come forth with an open mind, for an unconventional tale of love..
Dublin native Freda Wilson considers herself to be an acquired taste. She has a habit of making offensive jokes and speaking her mind too often. She doesn’t have the best track record with first impressions, which is why she gets a surprise when her new neighbour Nicholas takes a shine to her.
Nicholas is darkly handsome, funny and magnetic, and Freda feels like her black and white existence is plunged into a rainbow of colour when she’s around him. When he walks into a room he lights it up, with his quick wit and charisma. He is a travelling cabaret performer, but Freda doesn’t know exactly what that entails until the curtains pull back on his opening night.
She is gob-smacked and entirely intrigued to see him take to the stage in drag. Later on, Nicholas asks her if she would like to become his show assistant. Excited by the idea, she jumps at the chance. Soon she finds herself immersed in a world of wigs, make-up and high heels, surrounded by pretty men and the temptation of falling for her incredibly beautiful employer.
In this story of passion and sexual discovery, Nicholas and Freda will contend with jealousy, emotional highs and lows, and the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.
DNF at 70% because I can’t be arsed to finish.
I hate to be the one to say it, but this book is nothing special. It’s the typical angstapalooza one would expect from NA, only dressed up in drag. Once the novelty of that facet wears off, there’s not much left for it to stand on.
The female MC, Freda, is your run-of-the-mill Mary Sue, only prone to drop f-bombs instead of the breathless “Oh my” made popular by her one of her counterparts. She’s incredibly self-conscious, is emotionally constipated, suffers from foot-in-mouth syndrome and childish outbursts, and makes no bones about slut-shaming and body-shaming everyone around her, to include those she considers friends. She even throws out a few ableist lines, because, you know, she’s an equal opportunity offender.
Speaking of said “friends”, she’s got the bitchy roommate who’s her total opposite in every way imaginable, the gay bestie, and the “slutty” chick they all talk shit about the second she’s out of earshot. They’re so stereotypical that the author even felt the need to poke fun of it:
“It makes me feel normal when I can see that my life is full of stereotypes. If I didn’t have such a bad attitude and a habit of swearing I could be a reject from a future chick lit novel written by Bertie Ahern’s daughter.”
Yes, because we readers love to be patronized. If you know how played out these themes are, why include them? Why not break from the mold? Perhaps she felt that she’d done enough of that with the male lead, Nicholas, who also answers to Vivica.
He certainly challenges the trend of towering, testosterone-fueled ragebeasts that serve as love interests these days. Viv is in touch with his feminine side, and he doesn’t give a fuck what you think about it. I loved this aspect of him. There’s nothing sexier than unapologetic self-awareness dipped in unabashed self-confidence.
“Coming towards the end of the song he makes his way back over to me, stops slap bang in front of my table and goes down on his haunches, his legs spread wide with one arm resting on his bent knee. The pose gives me a good view of the bulge at the front of those tight hot pants.”
Unfortunately, he comes with a lot of the pseudo-alpha douchiness that’s so prevalent in romance novels. He’s aggressively protective of Freda even after she not only repeatedly tells him that she can handle herself, but proves that she can. He also continues to make aggressive sexual overtures toward her throughout the ENTIRE first half of the book, even after she not only repeatedly tells him to stop, but also slaps the shit out of him at one point.
And then we have the plot. It’s as stereotypical as the supporting cast of characters. Slut of a male lead finds solace in the vagina of the virginal MC, heavy themes aren’t treated with the depth they deserve, contrived drama abounds, unnecessary misunderstandings lie in wait around every corner, and space best used for character building is instead filled with yet another sex scene.
In short, interesting premise, but for me, it fell flat. I could have loved this had it further distanced itself from the rest of the formulaic pack, but alas, it didn’t, and so I did not.
If anyone out there knows of gender non-conforming romances that truly break the mold, by all means, rec away.
