State regulators and other parties say the EPA and the industrial companies have backed off their initial “baseline study” proposal that many feared would lessen cleanup requirements for the polluted river. However, state and local officials, Northwest tribes and environmentalists remain wary that the four polluters could tilt the study to reduce their cleanup obligations.
The EPA has refused to disclose the four companies that would fund and manage the baseline study, called the Pre-RD Group. But the Portland Tribune has learned that the group includes Arkema, which once manufactured DDT on the river. Other members being cited by local observers, though still unconfirmed, include Evraz, a Russian-owned steel company; the Marine Group, which may be more than one entity; and Exxon-Mobil. PGE was reportedly part of the group earlier, but spokesman Steve Corson said in an email that the Portland electric utility is not “one of the parties currently working with EPA.”
Kevin Parrett, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality’s point person for the Superfund cleanup, said state regulators are relieved that many of their objections to the initial baseline study plan were addressed.
“It got off to a bad start,” but “I’m feeling good,” Parrett said. “We got most of what we asked for.”

Where else in newspapers are opinions — for instance, in the form of reviews or personal essays — often published? Now that I’ve been Op-Ed editor for a year, let me try to offer a few answers. We’re not only interested in policy, politics or government.
Or, read a news report and an opinion piece on the same topic and look for the differences.
For example, which of the first paragraphs below about the shooting in Las Vegas is from a news article and which is from an opinion piece? Paragraph A: After the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas, the impulse of politicians will be to lower flags, offer moments of silence, and lead a national mourning.And to go even deeper, this lesson plan from 2010 focuses on a special section produced that year, “Op-Ed at 40: Four Decades of Argument and Illustration.” It helps students understand the role the Op-Ed page has played at The Times since 1970, and links to many classic pieces.__________2.

Marjane Satrapi is a living talent. In my lifetime, there has never been an animated film – and never a motion picture itself – as satirically biting as her beloved ‘Persepolis’. What makes it exceptional lies on her ungodly experiences she herself had tasted through the tumultuous periods of life. She is not only doing her own tale-telling; things go deeper in the entirety of the 95 minutes Persepolis offers you. Deeper in her soul, she tells a fairytale about a polity imprisoned by its own isolationist regimes.
The story began with a young woman, that is Satrapi herself, undergoing a watertight immigration check-up upon her arrival in Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Paris, 1994. She later went into a toilet, and saw one French woman viewing her – and her headscarf, a must-have item for women in today’s Iran – with full suspicion. In no time, the scene moved into Satrapi sitting in a cafe, while a cloudburst was taking place outside the airport, at the same time contemplating about her gruesome past. There, we began to see a 9-year-old Satrapi, bigotric of Bruce Lee, Che Guevara, and revolution. A 9-year-old who was full of beans on revolutionary hopes instigated by the 1979 revolt which ousted the dictatorial, heavily anti-Communist Reza Shah Pahlevi. Life became more exuberant after her uncle, Anoush, was released from the prison after having been behind bars for 9 years, due to his Communist-inspired rebellion against the regime. Little Marji was overwhelmed by hopes, dreams, and ambitions (one of which was to become a prophet) by the outcome of the revolution; societies cherished the collapse of the regime of terror, which Satrapi indirectly implied as ‘teddy-bear of the West’.
However, it took not much time to grab every smiling face from virtually every citizen of the country. As soon as the Islamic Fundamentalists, those led by similarly brutal, sadistic, and savage Ayatollah Rohullah Khomeini, led a victory landslide with an overwhelming 99.9%, Iran was back into another regime of terror, but this time, on the behalf of ‘Islamic Republic of Iran’. Women are no longer allowed to adopt Western styles of fashion outside their homes; every woman was required to wear hijab, otherwise they might be alienated by surrounding societies.
Her uncle – also her very own source of inspiration for her exuberant life, Anoush, was all in a sudden captured by the regime due to his ideology, and was subsequently executed by a firing squad. Iran was preparing for a war with Iraq, a war in which would later claim more than 1 million lives, and lasted for 8 years. Almost every single day was spent with overwhelming fear, due to the high possibility that Iraqi forces would fire missiles into their apartments, and blow their bodies apart. Millions of men and women were recruited in self-defense jihad units, in which they sacrificed their lives by crossing through the heavily landmine-infested Iran-Iraq borderline. To make things more miserable, Satrapi put a scene in which her mother was involved in a conversation with their neighbor, who had lost all her 5 sons in the war, and instead having them ‘rewarded’ with a government-made plastic key, which symbolizes ‘path to heaven for courageously expelling the kafirs’.
All the situation had its own immediate effect on Satrapi. There was much personal tumult she had to struggle. All sorts of Western art were prohibited – and are still in effect until this day. That means obtaining them would be a grueling process; even vendors of pirated DVDs on American movies would have to put their eyes all the time on to anticipate any unexpected raids that may be conducted by some kind of local sharia patrolmen. She expressed all her concerns on the loud, banging, explosive sounds of heavy metal bands, notably Iron Maiden (her lifetime idol), listened vividly to Michael Jackson’s songs (often mis-spelt in Iran as Jichael Mackson), and wore a denim jacket with signs written out ‘punk is not ded’.
Her personal struggle escalated after she was moved to Vienna, Austria, in 1983. She lived in a rented house under the strict supervision of Catholic nuns, but in her schooling life, she befriended a group of punk, anarchy-minded Bohemians, and frequently attended underground, death-metal concerts. She fell in love with one of them, but the relationship ended off in no time after the man declared openly he ‘is a gay, and is proud of it’. Having fallen headfirst into desperation, her relationship with the Catholic nuns deteriorated, and she was expelled after a rabble-rousery fracas, which ended up by snapping at the nuns as ‘prostitutes’. Most of her time in Vienna was spent bohemianly, where she had to move from her friend’s house to her friend’s house, again into her friend’s friend’s house, again into her friend’s friend’s house, and even had to stay 4 all-gay couples for some time, before she found a brief period of tranquility staying in a philosopher’s house. She fell in love with a freelance playwright, but she even fell headlong, deeper into the valley of stygian desperation, after finding out her lover was having sex with another woman.
Her life became unstable since then; she often had falling-outs with the philosopher, and ended up expelled. For months, she had to wander around the streets of Vienna as a beggar, having survived day to day from the food remainings she found in landfills. In a deep night, she fell into comatose. Someone out there had taken her to hospital. Unable to cope with the emotional pressure she had been facing for months, she decided to return back to her homeland.
Back in Iran, Satrapi again regained her gusto after she dreamt she met God – and Karl Marx, her longtime idol. She enrolled back into academic life, amidst increasing fear about more possible repressions coming up in the future, since the death of Ayatollah Rohullah Khomeini. She openly spoke up about the hypocrisies and all the religious absurdities in symposiums, fell in love with a local man, married her afterwards, and divorced him 4 years later, before she moved to Paris, and lives there until now.
To be honest, Persepolis is many times ‘crunchier’ than any animated films I have ever seen. If there were a measurement unit to calculate how deep these films are from 0 to 10, I would rate most of Dreamworks-produced films on average 5, most of Pixar-produced films on average 7.5, and Persepolis on 10. I don’t say that all Dreamworks- and Pixar-made films are bad, but Persepolis has its own path to interpret about the absurdities of the world in a simplified manner that, if you listen deeply on their dialogues, you will slowly feel it. But not everyone will do it. Only those who are already well-prepared to witness the personal tumults of Satrapi as a woman, and as part of Iranian nation, are permitted to watch Persepolis.
But perhaps the most important theme it wants to emphasize is about the essence of human freedom. Satrapi was once born in a country ruled by dictatorial regime, and once had to overcome all the challenges imposed by another, religion-based regime who continues to rule Iran iron-handedly until this second. Once she was set free, she had made one mistake, and had learnt it: the metaphorical wired fences of harsh rules had ‘forced’ her to dream and seek her very own utopia, a realm of absolute freedom. But the world out there never permits, and is always absurd. Only the resilience and fortitude of hearts of man in seeking human freedom itself that will set themselves free, not the elusive, imaginary pledges of utopia. That had ruined her life once. And she realized she must not make another mistake like that anymore.
This is a film to commemmorate everyone who dreams of being ‘set free’.

The Trahaurn surname comes from the ancient Welsh personal name
Trahern. Some instances of the surname are derived from the name of the settlement of Trehane in Cornwall.
Early Origins of the Trahaurn family
The surname Trahaurn was first found in Flintshire
(Welsh: Sir y Fflint), a historic county, created after the defeat of the Welsh
Kingdom of Gwynedd in 1284, and located in north-east Wales
, where they held a family seat
at Trehaverne (Tregavran) which was referenced in the Domesday Book
. This area is now known as Kenywn and is a civil parish in Cornwall
. Kenwyn is now regarded as a suburb of the city of Truro and gives its name to one of three rivers that flow through the city. However, the surname is believed to be descended from Traherne son of Caradoc, Prince of North Wales
in 1073. Today Trehan is a hamlet near Saltash in Cornwall
Early History of the Trahaurn family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Trahaurn research.Another 195 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1603, 1644, 1635, 1686, 1636 and 1674 are included under the topic Early Trahaurn History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Trahaurn Spelling Variations
There are relatively few surnames native to Wales, but they have an inordinately large number of spelling variations
. Early variations of Welsh
surnames can be explained by the fact that very few people in the early Middle Ages were literate. Priests and the few other literate people were responsible for recording names in official documents. And because most people could not specific how to properly record their names it was up to the individual recorder of that time to determine how a spoken name should be recorded. Variations due to the imprecise or improper recording of a name continued later in history when names originally composed in the Brythonic Celtic
, language of Wales, known by natives as Cymraeg, were transliterated into English. Welsh
names that were documented in English often changed dramatically since the native language of Wales, which was highly inflected, did not copy well. Occasionally, however, spelling variations
were carried out according to an individual's specific design: a branch loyalty within the family, a religious adherence, or even patriotic affiliations could be indicated by minor variations. The spelling variations of the name Trahaurn have included Traherne, Trahern, Treherne, Trehern, Traherne, Trahairn, Trahearne, Trahane, Trahan, Trehearn, Trahearn, Trehane and many more.
Early Notables of the Trahaurn family (pre 1700)
Another 40 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Trahaurn Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Trahaurn family to the New World and Oceana
During the latter half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the people of Wales
journeyed to North America to find a new life. They made major contributions to the arts, industry and commerce of both Canada and the United States, and added a rich cultural heritage to their newly adopted societies. A look at the immigration and passenger lists has shown a number of people bearing the name Trahaurn: Samuel Traherne who settled in Jamaica in 1664; Charles and Margueritte Trahan settled in Maryland in 1763; John Trehearne settled in Virginia in 1622.

Once upon a time there was a woman, (I’ll call Jo) who was suffering from panic attacks. They occasionally happened at work, or in the early morning before she got to work. She said the panic attacks came out of the blue; she never knew when one was going to strike her. She would be sitting at her desk at work and suddenly get a wave of panic so intense she would have to grab onto her desk so she wouldn’t run out the door. The attacks were happening more often and she dreaded the next one. She claimed that her job was not the issue – it wasn’t difficult, just boring. Her main focus was how to manage the panic attacks. Her doctor prescribed some Ativan and referred her for counseling.
Panic attacks seem to occur ‘out of the blue’ but they really don’t. They are like a tidal waves, they rise up, crest and subside. The therapy started with helping her handle the panic attacks by breathing through them. This helped her feel less out of control. Then focus shifted to increasing her awareness of herself. She was so focused on trying to avoid a panic attack that she had lost contact with herself. She was focused on the symptom, not the cause of the symptom.
Her office job was a problem for her. She was not just bored, she was bored to tears. She had a dream of getting a degree in biology so she could teach, but she considered doing that out of the question. She couldn’t afford it.
Work was not the only problem. She and her husband were totally renovating their home and they were having lots of arguments about it. Money was tight and she needed her income. Quitting work was not an option.
As Jo got more in touch with herself, she realized the precursors to the panic attacks. Gradually she became so aware that she could feel the hairs on the back of her neck go up the closer she got to work. She no longer could deny how intolerable her job was.
Jo finally told her husband how unbearable her job was. To her surprise, he understood. Once the renovations were completed, they remortgaged, finding the money needed for her to go to university.
Sometimes people are distracted by the symptoms, which gets in the way of finding the cause. Other times, focusing on the symptoms helps them avoid what they do not want to face. People are often convinced there is no solution (which is occasionally true) so they bury their heads. But usually once they are clear what is causing the problem, they find a solution. Once the cause is identified, even though it may be difficult, appropriate changes can be made. Change is what is needed.

It might not be a new Frank Ocean album, but the wait is finally over, and Shampoo’s debut LP is just as jaw-droppingly luxurious as everyone (read: me) expected. The 10-track record is a showcase of sensitive and sexy music that transports the listener to a twilight dance floor. It’s easy to think of day-glo hooks and vintage beats when considering the trio’s aesthetic, but Terrible Heat almost feels like an exhibition of the more delicate, under-appreciated elements of the band, especially Catherine Quesenberry’s celestial vocals and subtle synth work.
After making waves with 2014’s comparatively lo-fi Demos EP, the group goes all in on high-gloss production for their debut LP, making a record which stands comfortably alongside late ’80s radio pop. The band brings a simpler sound to their live performances, mostly due to the constraints that come from being a three-piece, but the result is more immediate than the studio versions presented here. “Texaco,” one of the trio’s most provocative anthems, almost feels like a different song on Terrible Heat. The bass grooves and screaming guitar that make the song so cathartic live have been ensconced in velvety atmospherics which unveil the track’s satin alter-ego. It might be frustrating or at least confusing initially, but after repeat listens it becomes apparent there are no extraneous sounds here, simply more of the dreamy facets of their music often buried during live performances.
Since Terrible Heat was a such long time coming, there’s a mix of new and old material on the album, but it all flows together better than one might expect, especially considering how much the trio’s songwriting has developed in the past two years. Older tracks like “High School,” which are most reliant on Rush Myers’ shimmery guitar work, are still the foundation of Shampoo’s sound, but Quesenberry’s synth experimentation takes the lead more often than expected.
The lyrics are mostly temporal, but Myers and Quesenberry deliver every line with a lively transcendence which balances the often melancholy nature of Shampoo’s songs. The emotional presence beneath every gloomy phrase makes the album glow like a mysterious makeout session. Unlike the ’80s pop which Shampoo often recalls, there’s no throwaway lyrics either, even though the vocals are never too conspicuous.
Overall, Terrible Heat is proof that Shampoo is more than the sum of their parts, fully capable of continuing their evolution into a full-fledged pop band without over-referencing past eras or becoming reliant on simpering smoothness. Beneath the pastel hues, Terrible Heat bursts with an energy guaranteed to make you sweat.
Terrible Heat is out tomorrow on cassette and digital via Bear Kids Recordings.
Shampoo will celebrate the release of Terrible Heat tonight at the Mammal Gallery. Supporting them will be Erica Eso and Red Sea. Doors open at 9 p.m. Admission is $5.

The journey to be a parent can be long and sometimes difficult but one organization is hoping to connect more babies with loving homes.
The Waco nonprofit, Generations, held the 12th annual Hope Gala.
The event was held at the Baylor Club. The dinner, raffles, and silent auction helped the organization fund placing families together – both in the area and soon, abroad.
When Baby Banner needs a bath, every now and then, his parents grab a towel that may not look right.
“Our girl towel, the name that we picked at the time was Everly,” said Scott and Chrissy Perez.
The family went through two failed adoptions before bringing home Banner.
“Spending those days with the baby and believing that was our child was very difficult but we had people there with us and the agency was there the entire time.”
The parents credit their adoption success to Generations.
Prior to Generations, Executive Director Cathy Sonas said there were no adoption agencies that worked with pregnant mothers in the area. Now their work spans statewide.
“We travel around the state to meet with pregnant women and adoptive families,” Sonas said.
The organization operates with the donations and fundraising like Saturday nights Hope Gala.
With over 200 babies placed, the organization is looking to expand with a new affiliation with Nightlight.
The Perez family is beginning an international adoption process to adopt a baby from China.
“It’s been such a smooth transition, we know the routine, we know the people, it’s been so easy.”

Part 12: Doswell - It Ain't just Kings Dominion!
While 99% of every car exiting I-95 right onto Route 30 turns right into the Kings Dominion parking lot, the savvy Doswell visitor may wish to “turn left” and visit one of Doswell’s other numerous cultural landmarks that does not involve being tossed, thrusted, heaved and thrown in several different directions at once.
And while here, also feel free to get directions, wait for the logging trucks to clear the road or even use the Exxon station’s pay telephone, since cell coverage is spotty at best.
Jarrell'sTruck Stop: Land of Lost Opportunity
The story is the stuff of Doswell legend, told to this writer personally in 1986 by the former owner of the Truck Stop, Owen Jarrell. According to Jarrell, in the spring of 1972 several executives from Taft Broadcasting were in Doswell surveying the 400-acre chunk of cornfield they either were purchasing or just purchased to build a sister amusement park to a similar one north of Cincinnati, Ohio. They were enjoying breakfast in the Jarrell Truck Stop restaurant when either the owner of Meadow Farm or the horse trainer approached the men. Smelling affluence, the man told them that he was with the horse farm down the road, where Riva Ridge was born, and he had a horse there that could really run – like even faster than Riva, and he was wondering if the Taft guys would be interested in investing, because he thought this horse would go far. According to Jarrell, the Taft guys replied thanks but no thanks, they were not interested in investing in some no-name horse in the middle of nowhere. The man left. I hear that horse would up doing pretty well after all.
Virginia’s oldest free-standing Video Rental sign
Doswell proudly still sports one of the oldest video store signs in Virginia: the A-Z Plus Video store, with “Free Membership.” Standing proudly on Route 1 near Taylorsville Road, the A-Z Plus video store opened in the first floor of the now-private home in 1985. The “A-Z” meant that any movie available on VHS might be in stock, no matter what letter was in the title; the “Plus” presumably stood for the adult janitor’s closet, where a grey curtain and a flickering neon light separated the family offerings from the more randy selections. The A-Z Plus video store closed around 1991.
Directions: Heading north on I-95, take the Doswell exit and turn left on Route 30. Turn Left on Route 1 and go 1.5 miles. The sign will be on your left, facing south.
The Doswell Tire Tree
For local dendrologists, students of vulcanization and even casual visitors to Doswell the Tire Tree is a “must see.” Standing over an embankment off Route 30 near Interstate-95, the Tire Tree is a fascinating anomaly of nature: the 18” diameter base of a 120-ft tall Oak tree is completely surrounded by a fully intact truck tire, guaranteed uncut. Local historians do not know the age of the Tire Tree, or of its origins. Feel free to scramble down the embankment and pose for family pictures, but watch out for tics and poison oak! The tire tree is open 24 hours a day, but optimal viewing hours are 7:00 am until dark.
Directions: Heading east from Route 1 on Route 30, pull over in the parking area just past Binn’s Road. The Tire Tree can be seen about 28 feet down from the Route 30 guardrail.
Doswell Art Gallery (warning: adult themes)
Hidden from view just on the other side of the Tire Tree is the Doswell Art Gallery. Murals painted by some of Doswell’s most anonymous artists grace both sides of the C&O railroad overpass, hidden from general view to anyone but quick-thinking Amtrak riders and the most intrepid patrons willing to chance tics, snakes and sumac. The west side of the underpass hosts a large mural apparently titled “Felch,” judging by the gigantic label. Red-shadowed block letters command over an oceanscape of blue, yellow and white graffiti-themed elements. If you don’t know what “Felch” means, Wikipedia does a horrifically thorough job of explaining the meaning of the title.
Directly across from “Felch” is “Aest Eyeball,” a more whimsical piece of dancing, stylized typographics executed in violet, lavender and light vermillion.
A painting in progress greets the hiker down from Route 30 that seems to say “Snake” or something. At least it doesn’t say “Felch.”
Directions: park across from the Binn’s Road turnoff and walk 400 feet down the abandoned service road. Take a left prior to the railroad tracks. The gallery is directly in front of you. Do not walk on the Railroad tracks. That is wrong.
Historical grave: here lyes the body of Temperance Harris
Few visitors who careen into Doswell eager only to park, leave their common sense in the trunk of their car and ride scary rides may realize that one of the oldest existing gravestones in Virginia is located almost within spitting distance of the giant Intimidator roller coaster. Or it would be within spitting distance if it was legal to spit off the Intimidator, which it is not.
Anyway, the small Harris family cemetery sits on park property on a service road just off of Route 30, between the Kings Dominion greenhouse and the million-gallon water tank. The oldest marker there marks the resting place of a woman named Temperance Harris, and she died February 19, 1716.
According to genealogists, Temperance was born Temperance Overton at Blissland Parish in New Kent County March 2, 1678, the daughter of William Overton and Mary Elizabeth Waters. She married William Harris Sr. in 1695 and they had 12 children. William Harris was a land surveyor, and he “patented” 2,000 acres in Hanover County between 1713 and 1725. He built a small clapboard home there, called Cedar Hill, where he and Temperance raised their family. That home was still standing when Taft Broadcasting bought the property in 1972, and they tore it down.
An absolutely unforgivable act – serves those jerks right for not investing in that really fast local horse.
Temperance’s father William Overton died in 1697 in Jamestown. His father, General Robert Overton, was a Colonel under Oliver Cromwell, and commanded one wing of the army at the battle of Dunbar. He was sent into the Tower of London by Cromwell for unknown reasons and died there.
When Temperance died, her husband had a stone cut and set at her grave. That stone miraculously survived until 1934, when descendants of Temperance and William had the stone set in a large granite marker, with a facsimile of the original stone set facing the opposite direction. The only problem is the stone cutter got her death wrong on the facsimile, setting it at 1710 instead of the correct 1716. The original stone reads “here lyes the body of Temperance Harris deceased the 19 of feby1716 WH.”
Directions: Pass Kings Dominion heading east on Route 30. Cross over the railroad tracks and turn right on Route 688. Go almost one mile and turn left on Dominion Drive. WARNING: Private Property! Get permission to go further! Go approximately 1700 feet. The road turns sharp right. The cemetery is on your left (north side).
The Boston Marathon bomber is also buried in Doswell. That’s enough of that.

Election Commission to announce Karnataka assembly election schedule today
The poll panel has issued an invite to announce the election schedule at 11.30 am.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) will today announce the schedule of the Karnataka assembly election due in May this year. The poll panel has issued an invite to announce the election schedule at 11.30 am.
The term of the 224-member Karnataka Assembly ends on May 24.
The Congress party has been holding aggressive campaign against the ruling BJP alleging massive corruption while the saffron party recently untook 'Vijay Sankalp Yatra' across the state.
On Saturday, the Congress party announced its first list of 124 candidates for the Karnataka Assembly elections, with former chief minister Siddaramaiah fielded from the Varuna constituency in Mysuru, replacing his son and sitting MLA Yathindra.
Karnataka Congress chief D K Shivakumar has been fielded from Kanakapura assembly constituency, with the first list mostly containing the party’s sitting seats and the constituencies for which only one name was recommended by the state unit.
Janata Dal-Secular, another major force in the southern state, has also announced the names of candidates for 93 constituencies. Former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday announced that JD-S government would provide 50 per cent subsidy on cooking gas cylinders if it is voted to power.
"The central government has implemented the Ujwala scheme by promising to provide free gas. Women who believed this were given a cylinder and given a shock of price hike. Now the price of a cylinder has crossed ₹1,000 and it is impossible for poor people to survive," Kumaraswamy said.

Remember TV’s F-Troop and Corporal Agarn? Well, Larry Storch, at the age of 92, is still full of jokes and stories which he delivered with great aplomb at the Metropolitan Room on April 11th. In Q and A style, his step-daughter June Cross and manager Matt Beckoff moderated an afternoon filled with great nostalgia, hosted by Bernie Furshpan. Storch’s best bud, Jerry Stiller, was also in the house.
Born in the Bronx, he grew up in Coney Island and Brighton Beach, before moving to New York City. As a youngster, he wound up in music class in school where he learned to play the sax (and still does to this day). Mom had a rooming house on Amsterdam Ave. and West 77th Street where he heard many accents, like Orson Wells and Don Adams, who lived there. That’s where he started doing impressions and impersonations.
Larry spent time in the Navy in the Entertainment Division where he met Tony Curtis. They stayed good friends for life. He tells wonderful stories about Ciro’s in Hollywood; meeting Lucy and Desi and winding up opening for Desi the next night. All the while, he reverts to many of those famous voices like James Cagney, Frank Morgan, Cary Grant, Sammy Davis Jr., Louis Prima and more.
Larry Storch has had quite an auspicious career on television, known and loved for his role and working with Forest Tucker on F-Troop, and in the movies, nightclubs (like the Copa where he opened for Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and Sarah Vaughn), as well as on the Broadway stage (Flower Drum Song, Annie Get Your Gun, Porgy & Bess).
What a wonderful afternoon of getting to know the man who kept several generations laughing. He worked with the best of them!

Can a Mortgage Really Be Affordable?
Guest Post by Tim Britt
Last month I started a discussion about the different categories of mortgage programs. Mortgage Loans can easily be broken down into 3 broad categories: Traditional, Affordable, and Specialty. This month, I’ll talk about Affordable Mortgage Loan
Affordable Mortgages are loan programs backed by government agencies, or specially designed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Conforming Loan Programs) to be affordable in a variety of different ways.
These programs help borrowers realize their homeownership dreams through products featuring lower down payment options, lower loan costs, as well as lower credit thresholds (in some cases). These also include Down-Payment Assistance and Grant Programs offered by banks through the Community Reinvestment Act or through state/local government agencies.
I’m often asked…”what programs do you have for a First-Time Homebuyer?”
Unfortunately, this question can be a little misleading. In some cases, the person asking really wants to know if they can purchase a home without contributing any of their own assets (i.e. no down payment or closing expenses)…basically exchanging their current rent payment for an equivalent house payment. This is not the primary purpose of Affordable Mortgage products. These programs are not specifically designed for a “first-time” homebuyer.
Potential clients for Affordable Mortgages include those with moderate and lower income levels, some first-time buyers who may have lower down payment ability (e.g. less than 5%), as well as those who may have had past credit challenges.
Some examples and highlights of these programs are:
- Home Possible/Home Ready: Conforming Loan Program(s) with reduced down payment requirements (3%) for clients earning no more than the Area Median Income.
- FHA: Government-insured program with lower down payment (3.5%) and reduced credit history/score requirements (versus Traditional or Conforming Programs).
- VA: For certain US military veterans – 100% financing program backed by the Veteran’s Administration.
- USDA: 100% financing for homes purchased in certain rural areas, backed by the Department of Agriculture.
- State Bond Programs (e.g. THDA): down-payment assistance and forgivable grant programs sponsored at the state level, usually in conjunction with the FHA Program.
- Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Programs: Programs offered by banks to borrowers who earn less than the Area Median Income. These programs have a variety of features that are specific to each lender.
Additionally, borrowers who would otherwise qualify for a Traditional Loan Product, but are purchasing properties located in lower income communities may also benefit from one of these programs.
Keep in mind, however, that these programs are only available to consumers who can demonstrate a prescribed level of creditworthiness and financial responsibility, as well as the ability to repay the loan.
A mortgage loan is a financial risk to a lender and the agency that insures or guarantees its repayment. Lower down payments, reduced credit requirements, lower incomes…all increase the risk of a loan to a lender, as well as the agency who guarantees it. Each of these programs has
So – where do you start? If you feel like an Affordable Mortgage Program may fit your needs – give me a call and I’ll be happy to sit down with you and discuss the features and benefits of each, and help you choose the one that may be best-suited for your particular situation.

Detroit – Early this morning the UAW Volvo Truck Council announced that they have reached a tentative agreement.
“UAW members showed incredible solidarity on the picket lines and have achieved significant gains toward fair pay, benefits and job security protections,” said UAW Secretary-Treasurer and Director of the UAW Heavy Truck Department, Ray Curry.
Curry said the strike will be suspended and Volvo Truck workers will be scheduled to return to their regular shifts on May 3.
“The stress of a strike is never easy on a member or their family, particularly in these uncertain times,” said Mitchell Smith, director of UAW Region 8. “We can’t thank enough the surrounding communities for the outpouring of support for our striking families.”
Details of the tentative agreement will be withheld until UAW members can be briefed prior to taking a ratification vote in the days ahead.
“Out of respect for our members, we will refrain from discussing details publicly until the membership at Volvo Truck can be fully briefed. Ultimately it is our members’ contract, and UAW Volvo Truck members that will make this final decision as they vote.”

|Abstract: ||Lipid droplets are highly associated with obesity, diabetes, inflammatory disorders and cancer. A reliable two-photon dye for specific lipid droplets imaging in live cells and live tissues at ultra-low concentration has rarely been reported. In this work, four new aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) based on the naphthalene core
were designed and synthesized for specific two-photon lipid droplets staining. The new molecules, namely NAP AIEgens, exhibit large Stokes shift (>110 nm), high solid-state fluorescence quantum yield (up to 30%), good two-photon absorption cross section (45–100 GM at 860 nm), high biocompatibility and good photostability. They could specifically stain lipid droplets at ultra-low concentration (50 nM) in a short time of 15 min. Such ultra-low concentration is the lowest value for lipid droplets staining in live cells reported so far. In vitro and ex vivo two-photon imaging of lipid droplets in live cells and live mice liver tissues were successfully demonstrated. In addition, selective visualization of lipid droplets in live mice liver tissues could be achieved at a depth of about 70 μm. These excellent properties render them as promising candidates for investigating lipid droplets-associated physiological and pathological processes in live biological samples.|

The orchardist’s daughter is local author Karen Viggers’ fourth novel, but the first that I’ve read. She has, however, appeared on my blog before, being the person who conversed with Sofie Laguna about her novel, The choke. It was one of the most entertaining conversations I’ve ever attended.
Now, if you haven’t read or heard of Karen Viggers before, there are some facts worth knowing about her. Firstly, she’s a vet with special training in native wildlife health – and this background informs most if not all of her novels, I believe. It certainly informs The orchardist’s daughter. Another significant fact is that she’s a best-selling author in France! How wonderful that a novelist who writes strongly Australia-centric books does so well in France! Her previous novel, The lightkeeper’s wife, was, in fact, awarded the Les Petits Mots de Libraires literary prize.
So, an interesting author, and The orchardist’s daughter is an interesting, enjoyable book. It is set in a small logging town in Tasmania, and has quite a formal structure, starting with a Prologue, followed by four parts – Seeds, Germination, Growth, Understorey – and ending with an Epilogue. It is told third person through the perspective of three characters – Miki, the titular orchardist’s daughter who is 17 years old for most of the novel; Leon, a Park Ranger, who is 25 years old at the novel’s start; and Max, a 10-year-old boy who is Leon’s neighbour. Miki and Leon are relative newcomers to the town, Miki arriving with her older brother Kurt to run the town’s takeaway shop after they lose their home, farm and parents in a fire, and Leon moving from his Ranger job on Bruny Island to the mainland. All three are outsiders and serve to illuminate the tensions existing in the town.
Around these characters is a community comprising mainly logging families, Max’s being one of them. However, there are others who round out the town a little, including policeman Fergus and his sons, Geraldine who runs the information centre, and vet Kate. The narrative develops around a couple of situations. One is a mystery surrounding Miki’s brother Kurt. What does he do by himself in the forest when he insists that Miki wait in the ute, and what does he do during his weekly solo trips to Hobart (during which he locks Miki inside their shop/home)? The other concerns logging, and the dangerous unrest that develops when a temporary ban is placed on logging around a certain ancient tree. Jobs are at risk, the loggers believe, and the butt of their anger is of course Parkie Leon. From these two situations, Viggers builds tension slowly but inexorably, with the Kurt-and-Miki story becoming the prime focus, of course, given the book’s title.
So, there is a strong plot to the novel, but this plot, while driving us on to read, is there to serve some issues that Viggers wants to explore. These concern logging and the environment, bullying and domestic violence, not to mention more personal ones like freedom. These are big issues, and not only is Viggers clearly passionate about them, but her writing about them feels authentic. The characters may be a little less complex than, say, those in Lucashenko’s Too much lip, but they are believable. Logger and vicious bully Mooney is offset against Robbo, who is equally single-minded about logging but seeks more peaceful, law-abiding means of protest. Similarly, Max’s father Shane, another logger who is violent, is offset against colleague Tobey who has a tender, caring relationship with his wife. All of this is observed by Miki from her shop-counter – and she makes her own little attempts to lighten the lives of the bullied and the ostracised, by sneaking treats into their take-away bags. Through this little subversive action, we sense Miki’s inner strength and resourcefulness, something she takes to another level when she works out ways of escaping her “prison” while Kurt is away.
Freedom is one of the novel’s underlying drivers. Miki’s imprisonment is literal, but imprisonment takes many forms – the wives who are abused but feel incapable of escaping, and young Max who is bullied to behave in ways antithetical to his nature. Some of these are resolved, but Viggers recognises that there’s no magic wand for domestic abuse. The first step is moving from passive awareness (or acceptance, even) to taking action, and this starts to happen in the novel.
The book really stands out, however, in its writing about nature. A Booktopia interview with Viggers tells us that she grew up in the Dandenongs and has been to Antarctica. She has also spent time in Tasmania (and immersed herself in Tasmanian-set books, including two I’ve read, Anna Krien’s Into the woods, and Louis Nowra’s Into that forest). All of this has given her a sure feel for the wilderness, so much so that it’s difficult to choose an excerpt to share, but here’s one:
Miki loved the trees and the birds, but what she loved most couldn’t be seen. The way she felt in the forest. The scent of the bush after the rain. The sound of bark crackling. Branches squeaking. The feeling of patience and agelessness, growth and renewal. The aura of trees. The sense of connectedness. Of everything having its place. She could stay here all day, breathing with the tree, drawing its life into her lungs.
These forest descriptions move into Tasmanian Gothic realms during the climactic chase. The experience is both “terrifying and surreal” for our character who crawls and runs through, burrows and squats in the forest, “slipping from the thicket and weaving though the trees, ducking under tree ferns, past the tipped-up end of a fallen tree whose buttressed roots made a wall he could hide behind.” It’s muddy and dangerous with sword grass that scratches you and bark mounds that can trip you up. Viggers knows this landscape – and how to make it terrifying.
In the end, The orchardist’s daughter is about community and compromise, and about the courage to break free. It straddles the boundary between commercial and literary fiction. It is accessible, it has a strong plot and easy-to-engage-with characters, and it is hopeful (not that literary fiction can’t be!!) But, it is also gritty in subject matter and doesn’t offer neat solutions to the important environmental and social issues it raises. I like that in my reading!
Theresa (Theresa Smith writes) also loved the novel.

Dan Murray, state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, released the following statement today in response to the Senate voting to uphold Governor Brownback’s veto of HB2178, an increase in the state income tax that would be retroactive to the first of the year:
“This was a big deal for small business and a key vote for NFIB. This is a vote we’ll use to measure who in the Legislature supports small business.
“HB2178 was a terrible bill. It would have created instability and confusion and punished small-business owners who tried to plan ahead. You can’t change the rules in the middle of the game. HB2178 would have sent a clear message to existing and potential employers that Kansas doesn’t understand that businesses need predictability before they’ll expand and create jobs.
“Our members thank Governor Brownback for vetoing this awful piece of legislation, and we thank the Senate for standing up for small-business owners, their employees, and their families.”


The US Navy recently tested out a new drone in the ocean between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
Dubbed by its manufacturer, Aerovel, as "the most advanced Group 2 small tactical unmanned aerial system", the Flexrotor is no ordinary drone.
The Flexrotor boasts some impressive features, according to Aerovel, which contribute to the drone being highly proficient in protecting military bases and other important assets by detecting unusual and threatening activity as well as explosive devices.
The tactical drone has a vertical take-off and landing capability and flies on its own after take-off, with no pilot being needed.
Already used by the US military on land and at sea, the drone is ideal for surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance, Aerovel says.
The drone boasts a flight endurance of more than 30 hours and up to a 120km (75 miles) communications range and, its manufacturer adds "this all-weather aircraft has operated in some of the harshest conditions on earth".
With its steerable, zoomable imaging turret the Flexrotor conducts search and target tracking with a daylight or infrared camera.
All the imagery captured by the drone can even be viewed in real-time, meaning any threats can be addressed instantly.
Due to the combination of its relatively small size, large payload/range, economy, autonomy and basing flexibility of the drone, Aerovel says the Flexrotor is "without peer".

A lifetime is a long time to do anything. Yet, the four members of the JJ Weeks Band are certain they’ll spend the rest of their days making God known through their music. On their seventh full-length project—and first for Centricity Music—the JJ Weeks Band musically commits to telling the world about Jesus for as long as they can breathe.
Comprised of lead singer/songwriter JJ Weeks, bassist David Hart, drummer Jon Poole and guitarist Cody Preston, the Macon, Ga., based band may be new to the Centricity roster, but they are far from a new act. The group originated when Weeks—then a worship leader at his hometown church—needed a band for a local worship night. Hitting the road, the group began amassing a loyal fanbase throughout the southeast. To date, they’ve opened for everyone from MercyMe and Casting Crowns to labelmates Unspoken. In addition, their music has been featured on the official soundtracks for high-profile films God’s Not Dead and Four Blood Moons. With the debut of their first national release in 2013, the group earned a Top 10 single with “Let Them See You,” a song that remained on Billboard’s National Christian Audience Chart for 29 weeks.
“I would sing that little chorus to God every single morning for years before it ever became a song,” Weeks says of the band’s biggest hit to date, adding that he was surprised with how widely it resonated with fans. “God obviously saw fit to do something different with it, and we’ve been blown away by what God’s done. It’s been cool to see it climb the charts, but the emails and the Facebook messages we’ve gotten is where it all really just hits home.”
For Weeks and his bandmates, the stories they hear from fans are the crowning achievement of their vocation. “Making a difference in people’s lives—that’s really why we do this, we want to be a vessel,” the frontman asserts. “We can sing for two hours, and it will not change anything, but God can move in a moment and change everything. That’s just how big our God is,” Weeks maintains. “Our central message is ‘Come to Jesus,’ because He loves us more than we can ever understand.”
It’s this core idea that floods As Long As We Can Breathe, a brand new collection of songs that remind listeners of God’s peace and presence through a thoughtful mix of lush balladry and groove-inducing hooks. Throughout 10 fresh tracks, the JJ Weeks Band reiterates their complete commitment to Christ. “I feel like a lot of times, as Christians—counting myself—we cower down and back away from just being who we are instead of saying, ‘This is who I am. This is who God’s created me to be,’” Weeks muses. “We’re going to sing; we’re going to worship; we’re going to be what God wants us to be ’til the day we don’t breathe anymore.”
With Weeks as the primary lyricist, more than 40 songs were written for this album. Although in the past the veteran frontman has generally written straight from melodies in his head, the creative process for As Long As We Can Breathe matched him, for the first time, with numerous other songwriters. The 10 songs chosen for the final set were results of co-writing sessions with Benji Cowart, Michael Farren, Mia Fieldes, Seth Mosley and Travis Ryan, among others, with Jonathan Smith (Tim Timmons, Sidewalk Prophets) helming production.
“Most of the time, I’m writing [songs] out of desperate times and sometimes out of moments where I’m just like, ‘God, if You don’t show up, I don’t know what I’m going to do,’” Weeks explains. “I’m not big on using songs that I didn’t have a part in writing, because I like it to mean something when I’m on stage and to come from a personal experience, that way I can sing it from my heart.”
Weeks co-wrote six of the tracks that round out As Long As We Can Breathe. As for the four he didn’t write, he felt an immediate personal connection with each one that made the record.
Powerful ballad “Count Them All” may not have been born of Weeks’ pen, but the cut voiced the very things he was feeling the moment he first listened to the song demo. He was picking up some sound gear when he heard “Count Them All” for the first time. The song reminds listeners to be grateful for life’s blessings, big and small. “I seriously began to cry in that garage,” Weeks remembers. “Everything it said, it felt like it was just explaining me.”
The label brought “In The Name Of” to the table, and the rhythmic pop sheen of the track fits seamlessly into the band’s original repertoire. “I can face any storm in the name of Jesus. Bring it,” Weeks declares. “Come what may, I can stand through it all.”
This kind of bravado extends to numerous additional tracks on the project, including lead single “Alive In Me,” which celebrates the power believers possess because of the One who lives within us.
“Rooftops” contains similar confidence with thickly layered vocals and an unrelenting chorus that shimmers all the way through a fitting cameo by Tedashii. Meanwhile, “Higher” is a mid-tempo call for listeners to lift their heads up to Christ instead of looking down at their circumstances. “The song just reminds us to look higher, to look at who [God] is and how faithful He is,” Weeks affirms. “One thing goes wrong and all of our attention goes to that one thing, and we totally forget the overall greatness of what God is doing in our life… He’s bigger than the mess we go through, and I think it’s good to be constantly reminded that He is the One who’s controlling the storm. At the end of the day, He’s got it in His hands.”
“Rest Now,” a personal favorite of Weeks’, was written in a time of overwhelming frustration when the singer felt like everyone in his life wanted something from him, except his kids. As he began to pour out his emotions on paper, he was reminded how his heavenly Father views His children. “It’s almost like God was painting a picture of the way He feels about me,” Weeks says. “God doesn’t expect anything from us but to rest in Him.”
For the JJ Weeks Band, the songs on As Long As We Breathe have set fresh wind to their sails, refreshing the four men in ways they didn’t even know they needed to be refueled. “After 12 years of being a band, we feel like it’s a brand new rebirthing of the JJ Weeks Band, and we couldn’t be more excited,” Weeks shares. “It’s the best album we’ve ever [crafted], and we’re just thankful that God let us be a part of it.”

The Art of Pouring
by Margaret Riley
Curious about the art of pouring? Have you seen it on the internet? I finally played with this art technique and enjoyed doing it. I did the easy way and used three different techniques. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that will educate you to allow you to decide what way you want to use in a fun-type of creation.
I saw my first pouring at a national painting convention by Plaid. How easy was this!!! They had the medium already in the paint. All you had to do was layer the paint in a cup and pour it onto your chosen surface with some movement to create a “run-together” design. OR you could just squeeze the 2-ounce bottle of Marbling paint onto a flat surface and tip/roll/move the surface to move the paint around. Easy-peasy!
(The flower on the left is done with Plaid’s Marbling and the one on the right is done with DecoArt’s Americana and their Pouring Medium).
Next, I saw the pouring done at a painting convention in Las Vegas by DecoArt. You can use your own acrylic paint and just add a medium to it. Directions are clearly stated on the pouring medium bottle how to do the mixing or you can watch a video on YouTube. They were demonstrating on various surfaces: figurines, canvas, cups, and more. Very educational!
Lastly, I had someone tell me that you could use a white glue in place of a pouring medium. I searched the internet and couldn’t find a tutorial on it. This was where my creativity kicked in. I purchased Elmer’s Multi-Purpose Glue (it is thicker than generic). I mixed one-part glue with two parts acrylic paint (the brand is up to you). With each color, I layered them into a larger disposable plastic cup. I poured this onto a flower pot and a canvas.
I brushed some glitter over the canvas once it was dry (takes overnight) as well as the flower pot done with the glue/paint. Stunning! On the canvas, you could paint some flowers in one corner over this pour when it is totally dry. I added a cut-out of a retro RV that I painted to coordinate with colors in our motor home. Any dimensional items added would be stunning on the poured background: old buttons, seashells, wood flat miniatures painted, and more. Be creative!
That tells you about the paints. To get started, you’ll need a large aluminum disposable pan, such as a turkey roasting pan. You might want to cover your surface with plastic or old newspapers to protect your surface. You’ll need cups to layer your paint in, popsicle/craft sticks for stirring if you use a pouring medium, disposable cups that will hold your project up off the pan, your project piece to be “re-purposed”, paper towels, and disposable gloves (and dress for mess!). Figure out which company’s products will be best suited for you. Follow the directions on the bottles or find a demo on YouTube or the company’s website.
When you are finished, DecoArt has a Pouring Sealer that gives your surface a very high gloss finish. Mind you…if you live in an area that has high humidity, it will take a long time to totally dry. And you’ll want to wait until the paint pouring is totally dry before applying the sealer. You can use a non-yellowing varnish on your surface. With this type of varnish, you can use choose a matte or gloss finish. I put the project up on cups to keep the bottom from sticking to my surface while drying.
I will share with you that I bought the flower pots from Oriental Trading (ordered them on-line). They are glazed on the inside and are non-glazed on the outside making them porous for paint to adhere nicely.
This is a great project for kids (and seniors, too)! Can’t wait to show the grandchildren how to do it! We’ll do it out under a shade tree on a picnic table. Be a good time to have homemade ice cream after the project, don’t you think?

Anytime a Marion Fooshee home hits the market, we stop what we’re doing and look.
Fooshee is one of Dallas’s most celebrated architects. He and his business partner James Cheek designed Highland Park Village; nearly 100 years later, the shopping center’s Spanish Colonial Revival design is as iconic as ever. Fooshee’s residential projects have been included in D Home‘s annual feature, Most Beautiful Homes in Dallas, several times. (In 2018, three of the 10 winners were Fooshee designs.)
For these reasons alone, a Fooshee design from 1929 is worthy of our weekly Hot Property spotlight. But 4401 Westway Avenue is a gem in its own right.
The exterior of this Highland Park home is classic Fooshee: stone accents around arched doors and windows, ornate detailing framing the windows, and Mediterranean-inspired accents, like a terracotta tile roof. The façade is most certainly vintage, but the cream-colored brick and stone are in pristine condition, and the tidy landscaping echoes the well-preserved feel.
This home has so many windows that each room feels more enveloped in glass than in plaster. The interior is bathed in light. The floors add to the warmth as they flow from ceramic tile to wood paneling. Each room transitions to the next with dramatic arched doorways, crafted from cherry-stained wood.
Though 1920s-style details are everywhere, they’re subtly and tastefully done. In one living area, you’ll find a full wall of built-ins with mirrored accents, and the master bedroom has a carved fireplace that could easily be original to the home. Several spaces are illuminated by gold and white beaded chandeliers–though trendy, they fit the rooms flawlessly.
Scroll through our gallery to see more of this lovely and historically significant home.

Study of Iron Profile and Effect of Oral Iron Supplementation in Patients of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Case Series VR01-VR05
Dr. Ajinkya Sureshrao Ghogare,
House No. 4, Shree Colony, Daryapur, Maharashtra, India.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric condition affecting the preschoolers, children, adolescents and adults globally. Dopamine synthesis is dependent on availability of iron in the body and dopamine deficit theory is the widely accepted ADHD causation theory. So, serum iron levels are important to watch out for in patients suffering from ADHD. This article describes six cases to emphasise the importance of diagnosing and treating underlying Iron Deficiency (ID) state with oral iron supplementation for effective management of patients suffering from ADHD. All the six cases which were given oral iron supplementation along with methylphenidate had shown improvement in inattentive domain and in hyperactivity-impulsivity domain at both home as well as school settings. They were given doses of methylphenidate and oral iron supplement as per the recommended body weight. Their parents and teachers were asked to mark the responses on Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) 26 item parent and teacher rating scale respectively. Scores on SNAP-IV were recorded at the first visit and after three months of treatment. Scores were then evaluated on both occasions for evidence of improvement in ADHD symptoms.

The best part of YouTube user ConnorRWilson's faithful stop motion reproduction of World 1-1 from the Super Mario Bros. isn't that it's all made from paper. Or that they even animated the flashing version of Mario when he's invincible.
No, it's the fact that nailing the top of the flagpole at the end of the level is still damn near impossible even when you have complete control over the situation when you're animating it by hand. So we're happy to overlook the small discrepancies like Mario breaking a block when he's small, or killing two Goombas with one question block jump. Bravo Mr. Wilson. [Gamma Squad via Geekosystem]


LOCUSTS have laid eggs over an area of Australia about the size of Spain, as farmers ready for a plague of record proportions.
Egg beds, in some cases kilometres long, laid during the autumn in northern Victoria, New South Wales, southern Queensland and south-east South Australia, are starting to hatch.
A wet and warm winter provided ideal conditions for the eggs' survival, with fears this spring's swarms could be far larger than usual.
The NSW Farmers Association has predicted the biggest plague locust swarms for a generation and said an area larger than Spain - about 500,000 square kilometres - could be ravaged.
''When you think of a substantial part of the egg beds for probably 50 per cent of the western half of NSW and a good part, probably a third of the north-west part of Victoria, into South Australia, I think that will be bigger than Spain,'' association president Charles Armstrong told the ABC yesterday.
The Australian Plague Locust Commission said egg-hatching would be spread over several weeks, with the exact timing depending on local weather conditions. Most will occur between mid-September and mid-October. Various countermeasures are planned.
The Victorian government is urging rural communities to remain vigilant against locusts, despite recent flooding, which it says is unlikely to have reduced the threat.
