It is Design Week/Month in Toronto and there is buzz everywhere from Toronto Design Offsite, Interior Design Show to DO Design. My busy schedule doesn’t allow me to see all the awesome exhibitions that are out there, I am seeing a few but there is no way I can catch up with the buzz. However, this energy always makes me look at January as Design Consciousness month and it is a perfect timing as I am reflecting on life and setting the threading theme for the year.
I am looking around me to get a better idea of what my design diet consist of. I don’t have much expertise in the field except for great appreciation of good solid design and having developed an eye or taste for it (in certain areas). I have become more and more focused and selective about what I surround myself with. I am a sucker for clean, simple, minimal and functional objects. I don’t have space in my home nor my brain (more so than my home) to spend it on managing stuff. And still I find most of my non-work time is spent in the department of Stuff Management. To get myself out of the constant state of de-cluttering, I am constantly changing my consumption habits and I am gravitating more and more to implementing good design in every aspect of life. Even my wardrobe is moving more towards becoming a capsule closet filled with essentials. I have been sticking to a very minimal colour palette of black , white and grey with a pop of colour as a rule of thumb for everything for quite some time now. My focus over the years has shifted to quality vs. quantity. It has been liberating and efficient and I am becoming even stricter with it. This is a wave everywhere (or maybe in some areas trendy but one of those good trends) and it is a good way of living. To do more with less! It is hard but it is so good if I can stick to it.
As you have seen over the past year, this thinking has trickled into my collage work and has changed it drastically. In the research phase I took on myself, I aimed to reduce and minimize my previously dense collage explorations to essential, minimal forms, lines and characters and try to take the attention to simplicity of small fragments. It has been a good practice.
Since some of those works are at the Interior Design Show this week and to pay tribute to the Design week/month and what I have been thinking, I thought to attempt to minimize the work even further and delve deeper in to the cut-out forms and lines.
The palette is black, white and grey. My favourite is the first one with the felt.

ments would be common, and it was not till many years later, that a narrowing faith made Anne write them down as "the follyes of youth." Through that youth, she had part in every opportunity that the increased respect for women afforded.
Many a Puritan matron shared her husband's studies, or followed her boys in their preparation for Oxford or Cambridge, and Anne Bradstreet's poems and the few prose memorials she left, give full evidence of an unusually broad training, her delicacy of health making her more ready for absorption in study. Shakespeare and Cervantes were still alive at her birth, and she was old enough, with the precocious development of the time, to have known the sense of loss and the general mourning at their death in 1616. It is doubtful if the plays of the elder dramatists were allowed her, though there are hints in her poems of some knowledge of Shakespeare, but by the time girlhood was reached, the feeling against them had increased to a degree hardly comprehensible save in the light of contemporaneous history. The worst spirit of the time was incorporated in the later plays, and the Puritans made no discrimination. The players in turn hated them, and Mrs. Hutchinson wrote: "Every stage and every table, and every puppet-play, belched forth profane scoffs upon them, the drunkards made them their songs, and all fiddlers and mimics learned to abuse them, as finding it the most gameful way of fooling."
If, however, the dramatists were forbidden, there were new and inexhaustible sources of inspiration and enjoyment, in the throng of new books, which the quiet of the reign of James allowed to appear in

"I was planning a move to my home away from home Nashville before COVID-19 struck" We chat with Imogen Clark
Hey Imogen, how the heck are you?
Hi there! I’m doing pretty well all things considered. Feeling grateful to be safe and healthy in these trying times.
Where are you right now?
I’m in the Blue Mountains, which is about two hours outside of Sydney, Australia.
What have you been up to today? And how different is that from what you’d usually be doing?
Today, I’ve been cleaning my house and getting prepared for an upcoming music video shoot (which will be done at a distance…) I can’t say much about it yet but I’m very excited!
Introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Imogen Clark and I’m a singer/songwriter from a little town called Bowen Mountain on the outskirts of Sydney, New South Wales. I have just released a new single called 'Found Me', which is the first track to drop from my upcoming EP, The Making of Me, due out in August!
What can you tell us about your new single, ‘Found Me’, in two sentences?
'Found Me' is an empowering breakup anthem with an optimistic twist, which I wrote with my beautiful friends Clare Bowen and Brandon Robert Young. It’s about making the tough decisions that you know will cause you pain, but will help you to become the person you know you can and need to be.
You’ve got an EP coming out in a few months, give me a few details about that if you can?
The Making of Me is a collection of songs that I wrote during a year that really broke me down. It’s about picking up the pieces and becoming the person you were always afraid to be, or that people told you you couldn’t be, and finding strength in embracing life’s challenges and your own vulnerabilities. Sometimes we need to go through our lowest points to become the strongest, best versions of ourselves. I’m really hoping the new single, and the whole EP, can help relight some people’s fires out there in amidst this difficult time.
This EP also reflects a big evolution for me sonically as an artist. In the past, I’d felt really beholden to limitations people had put on my music or boxes they had put me in. Through making this EP, I learned to define things like authenticity for myself and not hold my songs back from where they needed to go. It was incredibly liberating, and there are parts of myself as a musician and a woman I’ve translated into recordings here for the first time in my life.
What’s the song you’re most excited for people to hear from the EP?
The title track 'The Making Of Me' is one I’m really excited to share, especially given what’s going on in the world right now. I wrote the song during the worst month of my life. I’d just white-knuckled through this marathon Europe/UK tour and ended the longest, most serious romantic relationship of my life. I was second-guessing every decision I’d made, who I was and what I was doing with my life. At the time, I was staying in London for a few weeks before I flew to the U.S. to start a tour opening for Clare Bowen, and I sat down at my friend’s piano in Notting Hill to try and work out my feelings through songwriting. 'The Making Of Me' just poured out, and it became my mantra. It was me telling myself that if I could survive this year, I’d come out the other side a better person. I hope that sentiment can help some people through this challenging year.
You’re doing a virtual tour right now, how’s that going?
The "Found Me Live From The Backyard" virtual tour starts this Saturday 16th May (6:30pm EST), and I’m really excited to bring these new songs into people’s homes! The shows will happen once a fortnight over May and June, and they’ll each have a different theme; acoustic guitar, piano, electric guitar and an all-request show where people can request their favourites beforehand on social media. Each show will feature previews of all the songs on the new EP, as well as some older favourites and new covers. We’ve also worked hard to make sure we can bring everyone the best possible quality live stream, so the shows will all be professionally produced. We understand many people’s circumstances are tricky right now, so while the shows are ticketed, it’s a “pay what you can” model, so we encourage people to join us even if spending a lot on a ticket isn’t possible for them right now. The shows also won’t be archived, so tuning in live is your only chance to see the show! You can grab tickets on my website.
You’re playing different shows, which is your favourite: piano, acoustic or electric?
It’s hard to say, as I enjoy them all for different reasons, however right now, I’d have to say piano is probably taking the cake. I’ve always been a guitarist first but being in isolation has given me a chance to work hard on honing my piano skills. I’m feeling more confident on the instrument than I ever have before, which is an exciting feeling!
Generally these days, success is measured in YouTube views and Spotify streams, what does success look like to you?
To me, success has always been about connecting deeply with people and making them feel something, whether that’s 200 people in a small, crowded venue, or 100,000 people on YouTube. As a songwriter, my most enduring ambition has always been for my music to influence people in the way that my favourite songwriters’ work has influenced me. I feel as though my favourite artists have been the soundtrack to my growth as a human, and I want to do the same for my fans. I want to help bring listeners comfort during their darkest times, and to celebrate with them as they flourish. The more people I can do that for, the more successful I’ll feel.
Can you tell us the best and the worst thing about your hometown?
The best thing about Bowen Mountain is that people are friendly. They say hello and smile at you in the street, and the community pulls together during times of disaster, which was most apparent during the bushfires that ravaged our area earlier this year. Everyone seems to own a dog up here which I love, and I’ve learned all their names so I can say hello to them through the fence as I walk past with my dog. The worst thing about my hometown is its distance from the city, which makes it a little hard as a musician as I’m constantly driving back and forth for shows and meetings.
When was the last time you were starstruck?
I was starstruck twice in the studio in LA this past January when we were recording the EP; once when Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello & The Imposters) came in, and secondly when Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) came in! Both of these legends had come into the studio to play on my record, and I was so grateful and excited that I got to not only meet these two musicians who are heroes of mine, but also to have them lend their magic to my songs. They were both incredibly talented, humble and kind people.
Social media, is it a pain in the butt for artists, or a valuable tool for connecting with fans?
I have always thought of social media as a great tool for artists, and it’s one I very much enjoy using. It’s a lot of work, but if you truly love this job like I do, it’s a real privilege to be able to connect with your fans so directly like you can now through social media. What social media has done for the independent artist is also wonderful, as we’re now able to get our music out into the world much more effectively even without a major label.
What’s next for you?
We’ll be releasing a few singles in the lead up to the EP’s release in August, and celebrating with people online through these virtual tour shows. Once it’s safe to do so, I cannot wait to get out on the road again and play live, both in Australia and in the U.S. I was planning a move to my home away from home Nashville before COVID-19 struck, so I’m hoping to do that once it’s safe to make the move.
If you could recommend one song to hear this week, what would it be?
I’m currently listening to Lennon Stella’s new album Three. Two. One. on repeat, and I’d recommend the song 'Older Than I Am'.
What’s the question we should have asked you today but haven’t?
I think you covered it all! Well done!
Finally, how do you take your coffee?
A large soy latte with some honey, please and thank you!

This Low-Cost Carrier Is Expanding in Hawaii Before Southwest Gets There
This post contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers. We may receive compensation when you click on links to those products. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. For an explanation of our Advertising Policy, visit this page.
Sun Country Airlines, a low-cost carrier based in Minnesota, said on Tuesday it would expand its route network into Hawaii — an increasingly competitive market for budget airlines as behemoth Southwest is on the precipice of launching service to the islands.
The new Hawaii-bound flights will depart from San Francisco (SFO) for Honolulu (HNL) and will supplement Sun Country’s two existing routes to Honolulu, one from Portland, Oregon (PDX) and the other from Los Angeles (LAX). According to Bloomberg, the fares to HNL will start at $259 one-way, with the average cost of a one-way ticket around $339 during peak summer travel season, which Sun Country identifies as June 8 to mid-August. The airline operates Boeing 737s on its Hawaii routes.
Sun Country’s expansion no doubt puts more pressure on Southwest to launch its anticipated Hawaii flights, which have been delayed from the airline’s original rollout goal of “the end of 2018.” Southwest has been working on obtaining its extended operations (ETOPS) certification from the Federal Aviation Administration — the carrier’s last hurdle to entering the Hawaii market. The certification process“typically takes 12-18 months to complete,” the airline says.
But Southwest’s ETOPS process has been put on hold during the partial government shutdown, during which the FAA has stopped all “nonessential” work and certifications.
“Employees who have a direct, imminent mission to ensure public safety, like air traffic controllers and the technicians who maintain the air traffic control system, remain on the job,” an FAA spokesperson told TPG in an email on Tuesday. “The ETOPS certification process is not a part of those duties being performed during the partial shutdown.”
Sun Country’s new Hawaii route was part of a broader expansion of 19 new flights. The new routes, which the carrier said comprise its biggest expansion ever, include new flights from Las Vegas, Nashville, Dallas, Minneapolis and Portland.

LONDON—There is a new kitten at the Winston Churchill estate.
The late British leader requested that there always be an orange-coloured cat living at Chartwell, his country home.
Churchill also indicated that the cat should have white chest fur, white paws, and be named Jock.
The unusual request stems from the affection Churchill felt for a kitten given to him on his 88th birthday by Jock Colville, one of his secretaries.
The new kitten was formally known as Malley but has been renamed Jock VI. He was a stray taken into the care of an animal welfare group before being adopted by Chartwell officials.
He is described as a “caring, loving” cat.
The Churchill home and gardens, which are popular with tourists, are located in the Kent countryside roughly 40 kilometres south of London.

ElmhurstStinks.com - A Community Group Endorses Alderman Candidates
With just 6 days until Election Day and the peak of skunk season around the corner, ElmhurstStinks.com - a grassroots organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of Elmhurst residents everywhere released their list of endorsements for the Elmhurst City Council Election slated for Tuesday, April 5, 2011.
“While there are certainly more critical issues facing our City in the coming year like a balanced budget, traffic congestion, crime and economic development, dealing with the skunk problem is one thing that all of Elmhurst can agree on,” claimed ElmhurstStinks.com Founder Jake Parrillo. “This election holds the key to helping residents solve the skunk issue. These endorsed candidates have presented strong and creative plans to address this quality of life issue. Elmhurst residents should consider these candidates to be the “Skunk Fighters and vote to elect all four to the City Council.”
ElmhurstStinks.com Endorsed Candidates for Elmhurst City Council - 2011 Election
Ward One: John Raniere
Ward Three: Dannee Polomsky
Ward Four: Mark D. Anglewicz
Ward Six: No Endorsement
Ward Seven: Dean O'Brien
Based on a answers from a questionnaire that candidates submitted, Elmhurst Stinks formed an Endorsement Board made up of a diverse set of Elmhurst residents from broad cross-section of neighborhoods. Conducted with rigorous non-biased standards, the Board voted to endorse in four contested races, while holding an endorsement in the Sixth WardThese endorsements signify to the voters across the city that these candidates are best equipped to handle an issue that everyone can agree on: Elmhurst needs to do something about the skunk problem.
Along with these endorsements, ElmhurstStinks.com is proposing a creative approach for the city to bring back animal control - while controlling costs. Similar to how some cities like the City of Chicago approach sidewalk repairs, ElmhurstStinks is looking for an Alderman in the City of Elmhurst to propose a 50/50 share plan for skunk removal. Funded between the individual homeowner and the local government, along with having the program administered by City Hall, ElmhurstStinks.com believes that such a plan would not overburden the city while partially solving the problem.
About ElmhurstStinks.com: Founded in 2010, Elmhurst Stinks is a group of concerned citizens of Elmhurst Illinois who have had enough with the skunk problem in our town. We organized to demonstrate to the City that collectively our voice on improving the quality of life in Elmhurst needs to be heard. As of today, more than 600 skunks sightings have been “submitted” to the site from all four corners of the City of Elmhurst.
Elmhurst is a wonderful place to live and work. Members of Elmhurst Stinks wouldn't change a thing - except for getting rid of the skunks!

Elmhurst residents have for many years lived side-by-side with unwelcome neighbors, and the air should now be cleared. Sharing land with these four-legged creatures is incredibly foul.
The locals have appealed to the city for help in ridding the area of these skunks, but some folks are sure something reeks. They’re having trouble getting traps from the city, and that has put them in a real funk.
Community leaders have been put on alert: Residents demand a fresh start. The skunks that have invaded their property must leave to make life for humans more sweet.
City officials want to remove the stench of opposition by being more cooperative with residents.
Traps will be more readily available, leaving some residents to believe they can finally smell success.
A small victory for residents, perhaps, but there’s no doubt the skunks would find this deal quite rank. They occupied this land first, and their removal conveys the definite scent of betrayal.
Why do humans in this city have their noses all out of joint? How have they come to take such a malodorous view of their furry neighbors?
Rather than maintaining a rancid relationship with the skunks, we should embrace this aspect of the community’s heritage. Elmhurst was, in fact, fondly known as “Skunk Hollow” back in the day. Now that’s sprinkling some fragrance on the situation.
Wildlife is precious and should be highly valued, not perceived in any kind of a noxious manner. Respecting animals in their natural habitat helps keep our ecological system from going stale.
So, let’s cherish the aroma of communing with nature in a way that benefits both humans and creatures. Let’s not allow our hearts to grow musty. Let’s give our skunk neighbors the living space they deserve, and then let’s stand back to take a whiff of true ecological harmony.
When Gerald Harsen walks at night with a flashlight, his Elmhurst neighborhood “comes alive with eyes looking back at you,” he said.
Many of those eyes belong to skunks. Too many of them, he believes.
“I grew up on a farm and I’ve always had the opinion there are certain critters I should not have to live with,” he said.
So, recently Harsen did something about it. He set a trap in his backyard, luring skunks with peanut butter and bread. On the morning of Sept. 30, Harsen caught one, grabbed his pellet gun and shot it dead. Then he…

Have you noticed that certain storylines take on lives of their own and are promoted as fact when they’re—at best—rumors or simple considerations taken by clubs performing their due diligence?
Let’s take a look at three.
Will the Red Sox trade Kevin Youkilis?
The Red Sox are so ravaged by injuries to their outfielders that they fielded a lineup last night with Youkilis at first base, Adrian Gonzalez in right field and rookie Will Middlebrooks staying at third base. For the moment, they don’t have to worry about what to do with Youkilis and Middlebrooks.
Eventually they will have to come to a solution.
The Red Sox won’t trade Youkilis while his value is nonexistent. He hit a home run last night and they still harbor hopes for a playoff run this year. He’s making $12 million this season and the club has an option for 2013 at $13 million with a $1 million buyout. They’ll hang onto him to see if they’re in a playoff race by August and September and if they’re not, they’ll see what the market is for him.
The best bet in dealing Youkilis will be if he plays well for the remainder of the 2012 season and the Red Sox put the word out that they’re trading him. They can come to an agreement with an interested club and exercise Youkilis’s option before pulling the trigger. One year of Youkilis at $13 million is a good deal if he’s healthy.
Will the Mets send Ike Davis to the minors?
It’s nearly June and he’s currently batting .156 with 5 homers.
So yes, the Mets would send Davis to the minor leagues if he doesn’t start hitting.
Jason Bay is still a few weeks away after fracturing a rib, but when he gets back the logical maneuver would be to send Davis to the minors, move Lucas Duda to first base and keep Kirk Nieuwenhuis in the big leagues to play right field.
It wouldn’t hurt Davis to go down to Buffalo for a couple of weeks to a month. One mistake the Mets can’t make is to repeat what the Braves did with Jeff Francoeur when they demoted him and brought him back to the big leagues immediately. It makes no sense to do that. If they’re sending him down, it has to be done with a plan.
Is Kevin Long to blame for the Yankees’ hitting woes?
It’s floating around the Twittersphere and other social media outlets from the armchair experts and cranky, spoiled fans that Yankees’ batting coach Kevin Long needs to be fired for the club’s lack of offensive malaise.
Just so I understand, it was Long who was credited with Curtis Granderson’s subtle changes at the plate in clearing his hips quicker and turning on inside pitches to take advantage of right field at Yankee Stadium, but now it’s Long’s fault that the team isn’t hitting?
As I said when Mickey Hatcher was fired by the Angels, the batting coach is there as a sounding board and adviser when he’s asked for advice. As a scapegoat, he’s a perfect foil, but he’s not to blame when a veteran team is slumping.
In the spring of 2011, at the suggestion of Long, Derek Jeter tried a “no stride” style of hitting. It wasn’t working. He wasn’t comfortable and switched back to his normal style. For much of the first half of 2011, Jeter was thought to be finished. Since recording his 3000th hit, he’s enjoyed a renaissance.
Jeter went to Long; Long made a change; Jeter tried it; it didn’t work; Jeter switched back to what he knew.
That’s how it goes.
If George Steinbrenner were still around, Long would definitely be in the Boss’s crosshairs. But he’s not. Considering the year GM Brian Cashman’s having—on and off the field—it would take an audacity beyond all comprehension for him to fire anyone.
Long’s not getting fired. Nor should he. It’s not because he’s done such a great job, but because firing him is not going to do any good.

Shakespeare may have told the greatest love story of all time with Romeo and Juliet, but whatever happened to the ‘almost were’ partners who came before? The sharp comedy, Rosaline, considers just that as the film gives Romeo’s former flame the main character treatment by reimagining the literary classic with Rosaline taking centre stage. While going up against one of literature’s leading romantic figures would have sent many actors running, Sean Teale is up for the challenge as he takes on the role of Dario. Through this modern retelling, Teale offers a modern take on old school chivalry.
It would take a lot for Teale to consider venturing back in time to the medieval period, but it was the witty and endearing script from Scott Neustadter and Michael H Weber – think 500 Days of Summer and The Fault in Our Stars – which made Rosaline a “no brainer”. “You read the script and think these people are great – you just want to meet them.” But it was also Dario’s nuanced character that helped seal the deal. “Dario has to walk this tightrope between being endearing to Rosaline but at the same time being abrasive enough that they have that back and forth. He’s got to be subtly a lot more progressive and compassionate than she first thinks but also defensive enough that he gives this impression of being a bit macho… We just softened the edges around that machismo… He can’t be this macho, patronising, sexist character of his time because the audience wouldn’t then be happy for our heroine.”
Teale relished the freedom to collaborate on set that was afforded by the natural chemistry between himself and the whip-smart, Kaitlyn Dever. Teale enthuses, “From the chemistry test onwards we just riffed and riffed – even on Zoom – to the point that they didn’t know when to call cut. Luckily, that continued on set and when Kaitlyn was going down one route or I was pushing down another, we were able to gauge each other’s movements, and just go along with the ride… It was nice that we had such an easy space to do that – it felt open and collaborative which is the best way.”
Reinventing characters who are deeply engrained in our psyche comes with its own challenges but engaging with them as a completely new character provides both opportunities and drawbacks. Teale considers, “There’s a real joy in the freedom that comes with playing Dario – on the one hand, there are no confines but on the other, you don’t have the privilege of a foundation… But that safety blanket can also become a constraint at the same time… With any character, so much of it is about how we effectively connect with that person. And if you’re lucky enough to be there (on set), then your thinking has gotten you through to that point. And so whatever it is that resonates with you – even if that’s wildly different from someone else’s perception – is often, to some degree, that character’s truth.”
While you won’t necessarily hear Shakespeare’s iambic pentameter pros in this “Romeo and Juliet adjacent story,” Teale is full of praise for director, Karen Maine, and her ability to create delightful visual sets that maintained a keen eye for timely costume detail while balancing plenty of irreverent modern twists. “I honestly have no idea how she did it all while still allowing the actors to have such a positive space to play.” As Prince Condé in Reign – which often featured him sporting Diesel jeans to invade a castle – Teale isn’t averse to the odd historical ambiguity. “Both Rosaline and Reign have given themselves the freedom to embellish slightly because people are expressing a comedy which allows them to play with the narrative… Making art is contentious. Some people are going to have really distinct opinions on it and as long as it doesn’t cause much damage or harm, then discuss away.”
From fair Verona to suburban Barcelona, Teale is set to appear in Netflix’s hotly anticipated thriller “Palomino” (working title) led by the production team behind The Crown. While specifics about the series have been kept under wraps, Teale plays Jordi, the husband of schoolteacher, Erin, as her past catches up with her with devasting consequences. Despite being dubbed a thriller, it’s the duality of the show that really piqued Teale’s interest. He explains, “The show is a different thing to different characters which I really like… There are some incredible stunts and a lot of wild chases. So for Erin, it’s an action, thriller, but for my character who’s not aware of that action, it’s a family drama.” It also gave Teale an opportunity to speak and act in English and Spanish – a challenge he’s wanted to take on for a while.
As with Rosaline and Reign, Teale found working with a female led cast a “joy”. But he’s conscious that the industry needs to do more. He considers, “What I find quite distressing about the industry is that when making a ‘female led show’, it’s often just a movie written for men where the only thing they’ve changed are the names. Ultimately, the movie doesn’t quite click but people are then so quick to turn around and say this is what happens when you make a female lead movie – it’s so offensive!”
Despite remaining tight lipped about a few upcoming projects landing in the near future, it’s clear that Teale isn’t shying away from more nuanced and challenging projects that allow his creativity to flourish.
Rosaline is out now on Disney+.

There’s a little left.
The era of funk is passing.
What’s left is either pure decay or rot from an era of plastic, synthetics and lack of design distinction.
What would you rather see, a decaying car from the 40s, 50’s or 60s or a decaying anything from afterwards? Afterwards it’s just junk that was of little endearment before it fell into disuse.
Besides, the stuff from the post war era is almost gone, all hung up in bars in places like Austin, Portland, Cincinnati, Boca Raton and Chicago.
Authentic ruin is hard to come by. It’s a good investment for those who aspire to never ever actually live with it.
The “backlands” of the USA are either redeveloped or falling into unlivable ruin.
There are people in there, by choice or circumstance.
My next era of work will be an exploration of Authentic Ruin in the Backlands.

.A sustainable approach for improving soil fertility and health is focused on the use of natural resources and soil biodiversity. There are different types of soil organisms playing a direct role in the overall growth and development of plants. Notably, these microbial groups can all have other PGP traits, such as phytohormones and siderophores, amino acids, polysaccharides, and amino acids, and thereby conceivably contribute to crop improvement.
Silva et al., 2020 experimented to check the beneficial effects of soil microorganisms on growth and yield-related factors of soybean.
The treatments for this experiment consisted of Serratia sp., Azospirillum sp., Azospirillum brasilense, Burkholderia sp., Pseudomonas sp. And fungus Trichoderma asperellum. Results of the study have shown that all treatments include the application of soil microorganisms. As in isolation or combination greatly improved all growth and yield-related parameters.
Sustainable Approach to Use Plant Root Exudates to Support Soil Microorganisms
Because soil microbes grow in a carbon-restricted environment, the rich amounts of sugars and amino acids that plants accumulate into their rhizospheres provide a beneficial source of nutrition. Accumulation of this labile material does not encourage the proper use of beneficial microbes and soil bacteria. However, pathogenic strains may also use these molecules as valuable growth substrates.
Plant Breeding Strategies for Targeted Secretion of Root Exudates
Studying the microbiome of various plant species and successions led to strong differences, which suggests that exudates are critical in shaping plant-microbe interactions.
Root-derived signals are also known to attract beneficial interactions partners. Rhizodeposition refers to the total release of fixed carbon compounds (exudates and border cells) into the surrounding soil. These exudates differ in composition between species. Pea exudates have high levels of organic acids while oil radish exudates have high levels of sugars.
Plant Species Richness and Root Exudates
Eisenhauer et al., 2017 experimented to check the role of the richness of plants. Species on soil bacteria, soil fungi, and soil bacterial to fungal ratio via root exudates and root biomass. They used a microcosm experiment for investigating the effects of diverse plant species on the biomass of soil fungi, and soil bacteria.
Root biomass of different species was determined by using quantitative PCR and the quantity and diversity of root exudates were studied by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results of the findings have revealed a significant correlation between root and shoot. Biomass, plant production, species diversity, and root exudates.
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Phosphate Solubilizing Biofertilizers
AMF, in addition to PSM, is a key component of agricultural systems. These are the most common microbial components of agricultural systems (concerns over 80% of terrestrial and vascular plants). This is defined as a symbiotic relationship that involves a two-directional exchange between two organisms. They could contribute up to 80% to the total P uptake of phosphate in soil depending on the soil type and treatment.
AMF is morphologically a part of the rooting network and acts as an extension of it. This allows the plants to search for nutrients well beyond the boundaries of the rhizosphere. AMF acts as an extra pathway for P uptake (AMF pathway), with arbuscular acting as the symbiosis interconnect. This allows plants to scavenge nutrients and organic phosphate far beyond the boundaries of the rooting system.
AMF hyphae are smaller than roots, they have a high affinity to inorganic phosphates and phosphorus chelate. They can also explore soil pores inaccessible to them and increase the translocation of that inorganic phosphorous. The polyphosphates are then transported through the vacuole to intra-radical and cleaved hyphae. Moreover, the use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria is also important to improve phosphorus uptake and accumulation in plants.
What are phosphates used for
It seems that plants have evolved specific P transporters, which have been recognized for different species such as tomato, potato, and barely. Although fungal hyphae are capable of exuding organic acids and acid phosphatase enzymes, it is not clear how AMF can increase P phosphate and P availability. AMF may be involved in P solubilization via a synergic relationship to PGPM, according to a consensus.
Hou et al., 2021 experimented to improve phosphorus uptake in maize plants under high plantation density conditions in China. They applied mesh barrier compartments for monitoring the hyphal phosphorus uptake distribution throughout growing periods in different soil depths and planting densities for two consecutive years.
The results of the study have revealed that AMF application significantly improved the phosphorus acquisition efficiency of the plants, especially during silking stages. Results have also suggested that AMF applications can eliminate the requirements for phosphorus fertilizers to improve phosphorus in soil for the maintenance of higher crop yields.
Sustainable Approach to Use Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms (PSM)
There are many genera of bacteria, including Pseudomonas and Bacillus, Azotobacter and Brady rhizobium, as well as fungi (e.g., Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Streptomyces), that can solubilize Phoshorus metal complexes for releasing bioavailable P. This is done all the way through certain mechanisms. These include organic acids, siderophore, and phosphatase enzymes which play a crucial role in the hydrolysis of organic P forms.
PSM could promote plant growth by increasing phosphorus use efficiencies through exudation and phosphorus hydrolyzing Phosphatase enzymes. Results of various scientific studies have revealed that PSM is a significantly important bio fertilizer examples and helps to improve production on a sustainable basis.
Beneficial microorganisms are the main contributors to P solubilization. However, this process is mostly gene-dependent. Ecosystem environmental properties could influence organic acid production. N and C soil can create impacts on the quality of produced organic acids by the application of bacterial fertilizers.
The nature of C sources could also affect the bio-solubilization process. A high ratio of C/P appears to increase organic acid production, while both C/N and N/P can affect the development of microorganisms. Important to remember that P solubilization effectiveness is dependent more on the quality than on the number of organic acids or P sources.
PSM can produce many organic acids, including acetic acid, gluconic, glucuronic, butyric, butyric, fumaric, and valeric acids. The most common are 2-ketoglutonic and gluconic acids in gram-negative bacteria. The reduction of pH and cations-chelating properties are often the reason for organic acid involvement in P solubilization. Acidification of the microbial cells’ boundary results in the release of phosphorus anion through substitution of H+ or Ca2+.
There may be other mechanisms behind this phenomenon such as the protons released from ammonium assimilation cells by microbial cells, and the production of certain inorganic acids (i.e., sulfuric and nitric acid), and the particular enzymes that act on amphiphilic fat substances are all possible.
Elhaissoufi et al., 2020 experimented to investigate the below ground and above. Ground responses of phosphorus solubilizing isolates in the wheat crop specifically fertilized with the rock phosphate under the controlled conditions. Researchers isolated the DNA for molecular investigations and taxonomic identification of phosphorus solubilizing isolates.
All the isolates were carefully studied for phosphorus solubility potential. Additionally, they also studied plant growth-promoting traits of these isolates and the results. Studies have reported that the application of phosphate solubilizing bacteria greatly improved. The nutrient uptake, chlorophyll contents, protein contents, and the activity of acid phosphatase in the wheat roots.
Sustainable Approach to Use Soil Microorganisms for Biological Nitrogen Fixation
Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) generally, refers to a microbially-facilitated process where atmospheric N2 is converted into ammonia (NH3) by nitrogenase. This enzymatic transformation is performed by a variety of diazotrophs, which are nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil. While some diazotrophs can fix N2 in their free-living status while others do it in association and with plants, together with endophytic bacteria (inside plant tissues) or symbiotic bacteria.
These include fundamental and functional modifications that both microbes and roots undergo in specialized structures called nodules.
Sustainable Approach to Use Bacteria as biofertilizer
These bacteria can use root nodules for sequestering atmospheric N as ammonia. This form of N can later be used to make organic components such as proteins, nucleic acid, and nucleic acid. Symbiotic nitrogen fixation (symbiotic N) involves the net transfering of biologically fixed nitrogen from the bacteria directly to the host plant.
Non-symbiotic bacteria can proliferate due to nutrients and energy derived from plants’ roots, unlike rhizobia which causes root nodules to form with their legume hosts. Non-symbiotic (also known as associative N2 fixation or associative N fixation) is not a controlled exchange of N or C between bacteria and their plant hosts.
It has been difficult to accurately determine global N inputs. It is almost impossible to get data on the productivity and area of NF legumes, and non-legumes, so BNF is hard to measure.
Gas sampling was done by using the closed chamber technique and measurements were performed after a short time of nodulation. Results of the study have revealed that cumulative fluxes were greater for the bacterial inoculated seeds than the mineral fertilization alone.
The results of the study revealed that the pepper plant significantly facilitated the biological nitrogen fixation in specifically controlled conditions. While the addition of higher amounts of biochar in the soil greatly reduced nitrogen fixation rates.
Microbial Strains for Promoting Plant Growth through Augmenting N, P, and S Nutrition
Then, they will facilitate nutrient utilization that benefits plant health. Plant microbe interaction tests can help to verify this. For decades, researchers have sought to identify optimal inoculation methods, searching for the perfect combination of different plant genotypes, and rhizobial strains, to suit particular climatic conditions and soils.
Identifying Best Microbes for Soil
Researchers have applied potassium and phosphorus strains isolated from. The wetlands along with four kinds of fertilizers viz, inorganic fertilizers, organic fertilizers, chicken manure, and microbial-based biofertilizers.
Results of this study have shown that microbial fertilizers exert significantly beneficial effects on soil enzymatic activities. On plant growth, dry weight, and the fresh weight of biomass. The microbial treatment in comparison with non-fertilizer treatments greatly increased the contents of N, P, K, and urease activities in soil.
Wang et al., 2020 experimented to check the effects of bacterial strains’ application for activation of nutrients. And promoting the growth of wheat under reduced application of fertilizers. They isolated thirty-nine plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and investigated their potential for growth promotion. And fifteen isolates showed efficient potassium solubilization abilities. Application of these bacterial strains greatly reduced fertilizer application. By 25% and greatly improved the NPK contents, dry weight, and plant height of wheat.

Creative Industries A Toolkit for Cities and Regions
The Creative Industries toolkit highlights examples of how creative industries have created economic, social and cultural benefits in different regions, and identifies steps to ensure these benefits are fully realised across the UK.
Last week, an independent review, led by the Chair of ITV Sir Peter Bazalgette, reported to government with recommendations for how the creative industries can underpin the UK’s future economic growth.
With Bazalgette noting that the creative industries are growing at three times the rate of the rest of the economy, such that they’ll create a million new jobs by 2030, The Independent Review of the Creative Industries heralds significant additional government support to further back this success.
Bazalgette’s central recommendation is for the UK to build up its regional creative clusters, aligned with other recent strategies. He calls for a £500m fund to be awarded over five years to key creative clusters, with local strategies based on distinctive strengths and emerging networks — between creative enterprises, local authorities, higher education, local enterprise partnerships and property businesses.
We see our recently published Creative Industries Toolkit (download below) assisting localities in seizing these opportunities. Released earlier this month and produced in collaboration with the Creative Industries Council, the Knowledge Transfer Network, and Creative England, this Toolkit provides new guidance for how U.K. cities and regions can nurture their own creative industries.
Having reviewed the performance of the creative industries across the UK in putting this Toolkit together, we share in Bazalgette’s optimism about the growth potential of these industries. But it is vital that localities correctly identify their particular strengths, bringing together the right people and position themselves if they are to take up the Bazalgette challenge.

Because of the chaos and pollution, you’ll probably want to get out of the city before undertaking anything too strenuous. But if you want to brave the elements, San José does have a few outdoor activities to enjoy.
Parque La Sabana ★★ (La Sabana Park, at the western end of Paseo Colón), formerly San José’s international airport, is the city’s center for active sports and recreation. Here you’ll find jogging trails, a banked bicycle track, soccer fields, a roller-rink, a few public tennis courts, and the huge National Stadium. Aside from events at the stadium, all the facilities are free and open to the public. On weekends, you’ll usually find free aerobic, yoga, or dancercise classes taking place. Families gather for picnics, people fly kites, pony rides are available for the kids, and everyone strolls through the outdoor sculpture garden. If you really want to experience the local culture, try getting into a pickup soccer game. However, be careful in this park, especially at dusk or after dark, when it becomes a favorite haunt for youth gangs and muggers.
Bird-Watching -- Serious birders will want to head out of San José, but it is still possible to see quite a few species in the metropolitan area. Two of the best spots for urban bird-watching are the campus at the University of Costa Rica, in the eastern suburb of San Pedro, and Parque del Este ★, located a little farther east on the road to San Ramón de Tres Ríos. You’ll see a mix of urban species, and if you’re lucky, you might spy a couple of hummingbirds or even a blue-crowned motmot. To get to the university campus, take any San Pedro bus from Avenida Central between calles 9 and 11. To get to Parque del Este, take the San Ramón/Parque del Este bus from Calle 9 between avenidas Central and 1.
Bullfighting -- While traditional bullfighting is a blood-and-gore/life-and-death confrontation, Ticos just like to tease the bull (killing is not permitted). Las Corridas a la Tica (Costa Rican bullfighting) is a popular and frequently comic stadium event. In a typical corrida (bullfight), anywhere from 50 to 150 toreadores improvisados (literally, “improvised bullfighters”) stand in the ring waiting for the bull. What follows is a slapstick scramble to safety whenever the bull heads toward a crowd of bullfighters. The braver bullfighters try to slap the bull’s backside as the beast chases down one of his buddies.
You can see a bullfight during the various Festejos Populares (City Fairs) around the country. The country’s largest Festejos Populares are in Zapote, a suburb east of San José, during Christmas week and the first week in January. Admission is C8,000 to C12,000. This is a purely seasonal activity and occurs in San José only during the Festejos. However, nearly every little town around the country has yearly festejos. These are spread out throughout the year. Ask at your hotel; if your timing’s right, you might be able to take in one of these.
Jogging -- Try Parque La Sabana, mentioned above, or head to Parque del Este, east of town in the foothills above San Pedro. Take the San Ramón/Parque del Este bus from Calle 9 between avenidas Central and 1. It’s never a good idea to jog at night, on busy streets, or alone, particularly if you’re a woman. And remember, Tico drivers are not accustomed to joggers on residential streets, so don’t expect drivers to give you a wide berth.
Soccer (Fútbol) -- Ticos take their fútbol seriously. Costa Rican professional soccer is some of the best in Central America, and the national team, or Sele (selección nacional), qualified for the World Cup in 2002 and 2006, although they failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, they did qualify for the 2014 in Brazil.
The local professional soccer season runs from August through June, with a break for Christmas and New Year's, and separate championship playoffs every December and July. The main San José team is Saprissa (affectionately called El Monstruo, or “The Monster”). Saprissa’s stadium is in Tibás (tel. 2240-4034; www.saprissa.co.cr; take any Tibás bus from Calle 2 and Av. 5). Games are often held on Sunday at 11am, but occasionally are scheduled for Saturday afternoon or Wednesday evening. Check the local newspapers for game times and locations.
International and other important matches are held in the National Stadium on the northeastern corner of Parque La Sabana.
Aside from major international matches at the National Stadium, you don’t need to buy tickets in advance. Tickets generally run between C1,500 and C10,000. It’s worth paying a little extra for sombra numerado (reserved seats in the shade). This will protect you from both the sun and the more rowdy aficionados. Periodic outbursts of violence, both inside and outside the stadiums, have marred the sport here, so be careful. Other options include sombra (general admission in the shade), palco and palco numerado (general admission and reserved mezzanine), and sol general (general admission in full sun).
It is possible to buy tickets to most sporting events in advance from E-Ticket (www.eticket.cr), but the site is entirely in Spanish.

Nvidia announced new features for notebooks equipped with its GeForce GTX or RTX graphics cards from Turing architecture. With that, models from brands like Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo and Razer come to the market with renewed and more efficient Max-Q cards. According to the brand, products launched in 2020 with GPUs such as RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 and their variants should bring greater battery life and better performance for games and editing software. The image quality in gamer notebooks will also reinforce the well-known Ray Tracing and DLSS 2.0, recently presented.
More efficient Max-Q cards
Nvidia highlighted the new Max-Q models, with an enhanced focus on thermal efficiency. Called Dynamic Boost, the new technology present in type cards can use the computer’s energy more efficiently. The function closely resembles the idea of Sony around the Playstation 5 (PS5) variable clocks.
The idea is to allow a more efficient management of the energy used by the computer, making it possible to increase the total amount of Watts available for the GPU with part of the CPU capacity. In this way, the video card can speed up to meet the demand for work without breaking your TDP, gaining more performance while impacting less on consumption.
For example: the 2017 GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q card would run the Game Control at 73 FPS in Full HD, while the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q would have the ability to run the game at 167 FPS while consuming more or less the same amount of energy.
Another novelty of MaxQ is the Advanced Optimus, a tool that improves the conversation between GPU and G-Sync screens to reduce latency and consumption. DLSS 2.0 also deserves to be highlighted at this point, since, according to the company, it can reduce 20% of energy expenditure without compromising image quality. This way, the user should have greater granular control over Dynamic Boost resources through Nvidia’s control software.
Ray Tracing and DLSS 2.0 present on the boards
Nvidia calls attention to the growing adhesion of Ray Tracing technology in games, with emphasis on the support of this type of effect via DirectX 12 Ultimate, Microsoft’s API that promises to be one of the main bases for games on Windows and future Xbox Series X computers. According to the brand, there are already more than 30 different titles launched or already confirmed and that use the resource.
It is worth remembering that hardware acceleration for Ray Tracing is restricted to GeForce RTX cards, and the result may not be the same in software solutions, found in GTX 16 GPUs. DLSS 2.0, in turn, can make a difference in this case , as it applies artificial intelligence in real time to analyze each frame and apply upscaling corrections. Thus, a Full HD image can satisfactorily simulate 4K with low performance cost, in addition to raising the FPS of games.
As a comparison, Nvidia states that the Control game, running in Full HD and with DLSS 2.0 turned off, reached 36 FPS on the GeForce RTX 2060. With the functionality activated, the same game, in the same resolutions and graphic configurations, now runs at a rate of 61 FPS. In other words: the gain is almost 70% only with the use of the new generation of technology.
Models, Studio line and prices
Nvidia confirmed some models of laptops with their new cards and technologies. The RTX 2060, for example, will be present in the new generation of Acer’s Nitro 5, ROG G512, Asus, Y20, Lenovo and Omen, HP. The new Razer Blade will have options with the RTX 2080 Super, with a 300 Hz screen, a refresh rate much higher than other products in the segment.
Studio laptops, which use branded cards and offer a more professional footprint, also gain news for 2020. Nvidia promises rendering speeds up to 13 times faster for 3D software and 10 times for video editors, compared to computers equipped with Intel’s 10th generation Core i7 processor or even the latest MacBook Pro 16 “.

A panic attack is an intense and sudden feeling of fear that may lead the person to lose control and fear that he is dying. The intensity of the attack normally hits for around ten minutes though the symptoms may linger on after that. It normally occurs without prior signals and is typically unrelated to any of the underlying health troubles.
Ways to Control Panic Attack Symptoms-
If you are experiencing signs of panic attacks, then it is imperative to undergo proper medical treatment to find out any deeper medical problem related to these symptoms. If there is no definite cause, which is required to be treated, then there are various ways of controlling the panic attacks.
Proper education: If panic attacks are left untreated for a long time, then it may lead to panic disorder, which includes frequent and recurrent panic attacks within a short span. So, it is important to have proper knowledge for combating panic disorders. You will have to understand how the fear centre of the brain works in order to recognise what panic disorder is. It is imperative to understand that the signs of panic disorder have no connection with any severe illness.
Calm breathing: When a person is hit with a panic disorder, it is natural to take short, shallow breaths. You will have to take control of your breath and try to create a slow stream of air within and breathe it out, which will prevent hyperventilation and an accumulation of carbon-dioxide in the blood. It is recommended to practice slow breathing in a normal state of mind, so that you have a good hold over the technique which would come in handy when a panic attack occurs. You will have to breathe in for five seconds and hold the breath for one second before you exhale it out, spanning through four seconds. Repeat the process several times until you start experiencing a soothing feel.
Muscle relaxation: Then you must try to learn how to relax the body by tensing and then relaxing different muscles, which will reduce the overall anxiety and stress levels causing panic attacks. You can start working on the muscles of your feet and then slowly move on to the forehead. You will have to tighten each muscle group while taking a deep breath, hold it for a few moments and release it while breathing out.
In case you think you are suffering from a panic disorder, it is imperative to waste no time and talk to a psychologist without further delay.

MUMBAI: Imagine three multistoreyed buildings coming up on a congested lane barely 12 feet wide. Residents of Gaothan Lane number 1 in Andheri (west) are getting the jitters because they fear the civic infrastructure would not be able to bear the burden of these new structures. The buildings, each sevenstoreys high, are being constructed under the slum rehabilitation scheme (SRS) and will be the tallest ones in the entire lane. However, Citispace activist and local resident H.S. D'lima, who has been staying in the area for over 50 years, claimed that no slums existed on the plot. "There were no slums, only municipal cessed chawls constructed about 15 years ago, but pulled down about two years ago to construct these buildings,'' he said. This is one more case in which the government's slum rehabilitation policy has led to problems for the locals. In congested Tardeo, the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has given permission to a private developer to construct two 60 storeys towers as part of the SRS and residents have claimed that the SRA officials are refusing to divulge the building plans to them. In Andheri, SRA officials said the chawls on plot 307A were declared as a slum by the collector's office under a government notification in 1997. Chief executive officer of SRA Ujwal Uke said a chawl could also be declared as slum if the sanitation and drainage conditions are poor. Asked how the SRA passed the building plans in a gaothan area, which cannot be developed under development control rules, Mr Uke said the rules were different for construction meant to rehabilitate slum-dwellers under the SRA scheme. "We cannot compare DC rules and slum authority rules. A completely different set of requirements are adopted in case of slum redevelopment,'' Mr Uke added. Citispace wrote to the civic administration, asking how its building proposal (BP) department could pass the plans for such a multi-storeyed building without looking into the infrastructural aspects. However, the BMC replied that the BMC had not approved the project, the SRA had. However, the agreement between the developer Umar Chauhan and the occupants of the new building clearly states that the building is being constructed with the approval of the BMC. The builder got floor space index (FSI) of 2.5 instead of FSI 1 because he is constructing the building under the SRA scheme. Even as the residents were trying to stop the construction, another structure started coming up on the same lane on plot no 472 in February last. Mr D'lima said, "We approached the SRA and learnt that two more buildings will be constructed on plot no 472 on the same lane.We were really shocked at the short-sightedness of the authorities.'' This plot is barely 337 sq meters big. Mr Chauhan said the building plan was approved as per the existing SRA rules and there was no illegality in the construction. The plot earlier housed a small cottage. The gate, which has a board 'Zeenat Cottage', still reminds the residents of the good old days when the lane was lined with small bungalows. Today Mr D'lima's cottage is the only such structure on the lane,which is otherwise crowded with four-storeyed buildings, many of them violating civic laws. Mr Uke said that the two new buildings are being constructed as permanent transit camp. "All the project-affected people or those whose buildings are under repairs will be accommodated in the two transit buildings. Since it will be an on-going affair, the transit camps will be permanent.'' When told that the new buildings did not have the mandatory open spaces, Mr Uke said that in SRA schemes open spaces are required to be only five feet from all the sides of the building. For other buildings, the minimum requirement is 10 ft under the DC rules. The 12 ft road is too narrow for a fire engine to enter. "Can you imagine what will happen if there is a fire in any of the buildings? The fire tankers will not even gain entry into the lane,'' Mr D'lima said. However, SRA rules stipulate that any road with a width of 12 ft or more can have multistoreyed structures meant for slum rehabilitation. The builder will get transfer of development rights of FSI 1 as he owns the land and a sale rights of 0.75 FSI for the construction. The government would get only 0.75 FSI in the bargain. Mr D'lima said, "The rules are bad in law and they have to be challenged.''
