Iwami Ginzan, listed as a World Heritage Cultural Site. A cityscape that quietly tells the tale of its vestige of prosperity.
In 2007, Iwami Ginzan (silver mine) in the city of Ohda, Shimane Prefecture was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The mine enjoyed a long history before it closed in 1923. Silver was said to have been discovered there in 1526. In 1533, innovative refining techniques were introduced from South Korea, and with them the production of silver dramatically increased.
The main reasons why the mine ruins were listed as a World Heritage Site are:
1. Iwami Ginzan played an important role of economic and cultural exchange of global importance.
2. The evidences concerning silver production methods based on traditional techniques are well preserved in many areas.
3. Complete industrial system, from silver production to shipment is displayed in it entirely.
The inclusion of the mine in the list of World Heritage Sites offered an opportunity to construct the Iwami Ginzan World Heritage Center. Through displays showing the mine's history and technology and a reconstruction of the refinery, everything about Iwami Ginzan is introduced in a manner that is easy to understand.
The vestige of the prosperity of Iwami Ginzan is reflected in the view of Omori-machi. About one kilometer from the magistrate's office, there still remain merchants' houses, inns, samurai residences and other structures in the area, once bustled as the center of the silver mine administration. This sight alone is enough to give you an idea how well Iwami Ginzan prospered. The scenery can be said to be full of variety as the result of differences in architectural style, reflecting the character and job position of each owner. As though wrapped by the surrounding nature, the area quietly recounts its rich history. Like Omori-machi, Yunotsu-machi has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. The town once prospered as a port for the shipment of silver, and the former residence of the shipping agent and traditional Japanese-style inns still remain in a limited area. Part of the town's charm is the historical scenery resulting from its two different characters, that of a port town and that of a hot spring area.

As we have mentioned on Boriswatch before, the Mayor is a particular fan of encouraging kids to learn Latin. Bozza himself studied classics at Oxford, and has been vocal in his opinions over recent months that the teaching of Latin should not be the preserve of independent schools.
Well, it appears that he might be getting somewhere. Five primary schools in Westminster will be offering Latin lessons at lunch-time or after hours under a pilot scheme which could be extended to another 10 schools across the borough. The move is aimed at increasing the numbers of schools that offer Latin as an option, as currently only 4 per cent of state schools have the subject on the curriculum.
Bozza, naturally, is delighted. â€œWe cannot possibly understand our modern world unless we understand the ancient world that made us all,â€? he said. â€œThere is simply no better way than to make young minds think in a logical and analytical way.â€?
Councillor Nickie Aiken, Westminster’s cabinet member for children, said: â€œLatin shouldn’t only be reserved for pupils at independent schools.” Quite right – as Cicero once famously said, “assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit.”*
(* “Constant practice devoted to one subject often outdoes both intelligence and skill.”)

Over the past few years Tennessee Technological University has been in rebuilding mode. From smaller renovations to new buildings and parking lots, it is safe to say that Tech will be a different looking campus in the years to come. While the future looks bright here at Tech, what about the present? How do current students feel about the changes to campus and the ongoing construction?
“I hate that I have to walk around some of the construction sites on my way to class,” freshman business major Colby Booker said. “I probably won’t be able to enjoy most of the new things being built right now, so it is pretty frustrating,” he said. “Building a new gym is cool and all, but we don’t really need one,” he added.
“I graduate in May, so I won’t be here when any of the new buildings are done, but it will be nice to come back in a few years and see the changes,” senior manufacturing engineering technology major Austin Cline said. “Tech is trying to keep up with some of the bigger universities, which I think is a good thing,” he said.
“It is a nuisance because I live in Crawford Hall and I’ve been woken up by construction noise pretty early in the morning," Gracie Ray, a freshman sociology major, said. “It makes finding a parking spot more difficult too,” she added. “I do think the campus will end up looking newer and nicer, which will help the university in the future,” she said.
“I’m graduating this semester and I think Tech should make a deal with the graduating students and let them use the new facilities when they are complete,” senior finance major Dillon Rice said. “I like that Tech is providing jobs for people in the area and making the entire campus better though,” he added.
“I don’t like having to walk around and through all of the construction,” senior EXPW fitness and wellness major Devin Cordero said. “It is not that bad, but I do get annoyed with the noises sometimes,” he said.
“I don’t think any of the construction is really necessary because the campus was pretty nice the way it was before,” freshman nursing major Katilynn Franklin said. “The noise and stuff doesn’t really bother me, but the trucks on the quad annoy me a little bit. I just don’t think most of the new things are necessary,” she added.

By Louis Jadwong in London
Uganda must speed up decision making in the economic sector and make manpower development a priority if it is to take advantage of the many opportunities available in the country today.
These were some of the remarks by participants at the 2nd Ugandan UK Convention at the Proxy Arena in London over the weekend.
The Ugandan delegation to the convention was led by First Lady and Minister in charge of Karamoja affairs Janet Museveni, Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, Finance Minister Maria Kiwanuka, agriculture minister Tress Bucyanayandi and Minister of State for Teso Christine Amongin Aporu among others.
One of the highlights of the convention was a presentation by the First Lady on developments in Karamoja, where she explained government programmes in the region.
"Uganda's development cannot be complete without the development of Karamoja," she stressed.
Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga promised to create a desk on the Foreign affairs committee to address complaints of Ugandans in the diaspora.
These include a dual citizenship application fee of US$300 for Ugandans in the diaspora. Others included allegations of harassment of the people in diaspora when they return to Uganda.
Independent politician Gerald Karuhanga stirred the convention by lashing out at the cancer of corruption.
"We have a massive problem with corruption in Uganda," Karuhanga charged. "How do we develop when we have all this corruption? We must address it ourselves and implore our government to change the situation," he said.
"We should not just remain spectators but demand accountability. Our country can only develop if we ask for accountability," he added. The day was crowned by a show by Ugandan musicians.
Former UK Minister of State for Overseas Development at the Foreign Offic Baroness Lynda Chalker, expressed the view that the discovery of oil, a good climate, tourism and agriculture are areas that will give Uganda a huge advantage over many African countries. She however noted that success will only be achieved if barriers to investment in the country are removed and, marketing of the country's potential is stepped up.
"I would like to see a little more focus put on reform in Uganda Investment Authority practices, which should include strengthen its staffing in areas of information technology, areas of agriculture and also preparation for oil, power and gas developments."
"Agriculture is critical not just for Africa, but the rest of the world. Unless we add value, and are ingenious, we will not keep up with Uganda's own needs," she warned.
Chalker challenged government to task the Uganda Investment Authority and Ugandan embassies and High Commissions across the world to play a leading role in marketing the country.
"People around the world still have a very warm and positive attitude to Uganda. You have to keep that going and don't let up on making the positive news well known."
"The Uganda Government should act fast as several neighboring countries offer the same products to the world. So take the crucial decisions quickly and get on with it. Uganda must not delay to take the opportunities you have."
Chalker has been a regular visitor to Uganda since she served as Minister of State for Overseas Development at the Foreign Office.
The UK convention was organized by William Mutenza. It is supposed to be a forum to interest Ugandans in the diaspora to invest at home and also show UK-based investors the opportunities available in the East African country.
The Diaspora Trade and Investment Expo was also held at the same time and venue.
Senior immigration officer Alenyo Marshall created a stir when he told Ugandans who hold British passports that they are not Ugandans.
Alenyo outlined the benefits of dual citizenship and announced that Ugandans in diaspora seeking citizenship will from next month be able to register in London after paying an application fee of $300, and also get national IDs.
Alenyo advised Ugandans seeking dual citizenship to lobby parliament if they want any changes to the immigration law, including the $300 application fee.

Change is never easy, but it’s even more complex when there’s a seismic shift in ideology and policy put forth by the federal government. Under the new administration, Republicans are pushing the American Healthcare Act in an effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act passed during the Obama Administration.
If the Republican sponsored bill passes in its current form, Medicaid will no longer cover basic mental-health and addiction services at a time when opioid overdoses and deaths have seen a nationwide spike.
“Taken as a whole,” Joshua Sharfstein tells The Washington Post, “it is a major retreat from the effort to save lives in the opiate epidemic.” Sharfstein is an associate dean at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health.
Under the ACA, also known as Obamacare, an estimated 1.3 million people get treatment for substance abuse and mental-health disorders. In fact, the two diseases often go hand in hand, one exacerbating the other. This is known as a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. Recovery from issues of post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction is most effective when both conditions are addressed and treated simultaneously.
Removing the mental-health and substance use coverage, which the American Healthcare Act removes, will impact approximately 11 million low-income families in 31 states, including Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky, where the opioid epidemic continues to ravage whole communities.
How Pervasive is Opiate Addiction in the United States?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiles data on just how pervasive addiction to opiates, including heroin, is in the United States. The CDC reports the following statistics:
- 183,000 opioid related overdose deaths occurred from 1999 to 2015
- In 2015, more than 15,000 people died as result of taking prescription opioid painkillers
- The most common prescribed opioids that lead to overdoses and deaths are Hydrocodone, Oxycodone and Methadone
- Nearly 2 million Americans abused prescription painkillers or were opioid dependent in 2014
- Every single day, more than a 1,000 Americans are treated in emergency rooms for misusing opioids
Criticism of the new healthcare bill is not limited to one side of the aisle. Prominent republicans, such as Ohio Governor and former presidential candidate John Kasich, have come out against the removal of mental-health and addiction coverage.
“Phasing out Medicaid without a viable alternative is counterproductive and unnecessarily puts at risk our ability to treat the drug-addicted, mentally ill and working poor who now have access to a stable source of care, “Kasich told the Associated Press.
Emily Kaltenbach of the Drug Policy Alliance warns that passage of the American Healthcare Act could deepen the addiction crisis. Changes to Medicaid, Kaltenbach tells Vice News, might mean recovering opioid addicts will lose access to Suboxone, an effective drug used in medically assisted addiction treatment. In other words, the opioid crisis would probably get worse under Trumpcare.
Healthcare has become a politically charged topic in the last several decades and there seems to be no perfect solution that all parties can agree on. One thing is for certain; Americans are paying close attention to how the federal government plans to address those suffering from the diseases of mental-health and addiction.

I am a Clinical Psychologist working in Rivonia, Sandton. I have been in private practice since 2003, after a few years of civilian work in the South African National Defence Force.
I see adult clients and couples dealing with a wide spectrum of problems. As a psychologist, I understand the difficultly in dealing with the challenges that life presents and that individuals and couples face. Embarking on therapy can be a daunting and vulnerable process. I see therapy as a safe and healing space that can help facilitate insight and change within the confidential space of a therapeutic relationship. As such therapy is a non-judgemental relationship that allows the individual to process their thoughts and feelings and make sense and meaning and develops tools for and around the problems being experienced. Each therapy is tailored to the specific needs of the client. My aim is to empower my clients to independently deal more effectively with their problems leading to greater fulfilment in self and relationships.

There are several ways of adding handles, each having it's pro and cons.
If you just need the holes drilled you can use fitting links or single panel fittings. If you use inner tooling beware that the holes are considered pockets in CNC output.
If you want the 3D visual you must add the 3D accessory to the hardware definition (fittings hardware or single panel hardware).
If you want to make your own 3D accessory you don't have to use the zz/3d-accessory style. This is just a style that sets the panels assembly and materials to simplify the model. The actual DXF 3D model that you export to become the 3D accessory will work fine what ever the materials.

I have been looking at how to add a door handle to a cabinet, however it seems I am limited with options. I have watched the video on this site (how to add a 3d accessory) and when I tried to follow the instruction on how to create a handle I didn't seem to have the zz/3d-accessory option to select at start in order to create one. Is there another way to add a handle other than the limited options available as I couldn't find the length/width I want? Or is it possible to draw lines or arrows to indicate positionings etc as this will also do for me?
Thanks in advance!

Looking Beyong SDGS and The Challenge of Excrutiating Poverty in Africa: The Case for A New Global Development Framework (Published)
The study critically examines African excruciating poverty situation and the challenge of a new global development framework in view of the apparent failures of SDGs agenda in Africa and other developing countries. It articulates alternative approach towards legitimate global development governance. It concludes by proposing a new Global Development Regulatory Organization (GDRO) to address core-development challenge in international context. The study also identifies the institutional framework, functions and approaches to the new Global Development Regulatory Organization (GDRO) agenda.
The urge for the development of the African continent immediately after independence pushed the immediate post-colonial African leaders into experimenting different kinds of developmental systems. Some of these leaders copied the Western systems in operation at that time whereas some others adapted and adopted them. The successors of these post-colonial leaders also followed this trend. All these efforts could not bring the desired development as a result of one basic factor – dependence index. It is an existential fact that no country or continent ever developed by majorly depending on others. The key to development is real ‘ independence’. Equally true is that no country/continent ever developed without the production of materials and goods. Being a consumer nation or continent is to invariably jettison development. This paper calls for ‘ inward looking’ in the developmental efforts of the African continent and minimally look outward.
Engineering Education as a Tool for Human Welfare Improvement in Africa: A Multidimensional Model Analysis (Published)
One of the arguments to answer the Malthusian thesis stood on the hope the world had in Engineers. It is however getting more difficult to ascertain the possibility of satisfying the needs of a growing world population while preserving the carrying capacity of ecosystems and biodiversity particularly in Africa. The role of the engineer and engineering education in addressing the issues of water, sanitation, energy, shelter, site planning, infrastructure, food production and distribution, communication, poverty and human welfare has been rather limited in Africa. It is therefore doubtful whether human welfare could be optimized through engineering education and practice in Africa for current and future generations. This paper sought to analyze the extent to which engineering education and practice can enhance human welfare in Africa through a multidimensional model approach to human welfare. Data was obtained through face-to-face interviews with engineering educators, engineering students, engineers and beneficiaries of engineered facilities in Ghana. The College of Engineering of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology which has provided engineering education for students across Africa since 1952 was used as a proxy for an engineering educator in Africa. Even though Africa has produced engineers who have practiced in the field since the 1950s, the bridge between the engineer and the society he works for has been weak and wobbly. This has not worked well for human welfare improvement. The welfare implications of rethinking the engineer were also discussed.
This paper examines the role of women in protecting and preserving the cultural heritage of the African continent which is an important ingredient for the nation’s development. It traces the indispensable role of the women to the creation of mankind at the Garden of Eden. However, despite the much desired role and contribution of the women to the development of the African nation, the imposition of colonialism in Africa laid the groundwork for the marginalization of the women folk, which eventually created gender inequality that weakened the contribution of the women. Nevertheless, African women have not given up the struggle. Women continue to play a leading role in preserving the farming tradition which is the main occupation in Africa by means of women organizations such as “Women in Agriculture in Nigeria” and “Women farmers Advancement Network”. Notwithstanding there are still a number of barriers against women effective participation in economic development activities which the study has identified to include; systemic gender biases in form of customs and beliefs; domestic workloads that impose severe time burden on women; limited access to credit, education and medical care. The expose of these barriers reveals the need for greater sensitization of the cultural and social barriers to encourage increased women participation in the economic activities in Africa.

the Yuba River, was one of California's original 27 counties; founded on February 18th,
Yuba County is Californias gateway to the historic Mother Lode
Country, with a diverse landscape that boasts grand rivers, thriving farmland, friendly
communities and numerous recreational possibilities that extend into the Sierra foothills.
The county seat of Yuba County is Marysville.
Yuba Sutter Chamber of
The Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce representing businesses in Marysville, Yuba City,
Wheatland and other towns in Yuba and Sutter Counties.
At the heart of Yuba county, historic Marysville is bordered by
the Yuba and Feather Rivers.
On the northern bank of the Yuba River, the Bok Kai Temple is a place of worship for the
Chinese paying tribute to Bok Eye; believed to possess powers controlling floods, waters
of irrigation and the rains.

We are moving towards a reality where the web just is. It surrounds us, it’s in our pockets, and it can provide us contextual information about the world around us. Below are a few trends towards a location-aware web:
1. The Move Towards Mobility
As mobile continues to grow as the preferred way of accessing the web over the desktop, the concept of being “online” and “offline” will become irrelevant. These worlds will integrate as we carry our social graph with us in our pockets and on our tablets. This offers a new kind of transparency about how we understand our interactions and transactions within the context of time, location, and social networks. The challenge is to find ways to manage these interactions in as seamless and frictionless a manner as possible.Stats & Projections:
- half a billion people worldwide accessed the mobile internet in 2009, and that number is estimated to double over the next 5 years.
- there will be 788 million mobile-only internet users around the world by 2015
- close to a billion smartphones will be shipped worldwide by 2015
2. Smartphones Become Digital Wallets
As more people gain access to smartphones, there is a race to innovate financial services and offerings for mobile payments. The integration of near field communication (NFC) technology enables peer to peer and proximity-based payment. In order for this trend to accelerate, it is critical to have interoperability among devices and services. To that end, the NFC Forum
, a 140 member organization of manufacturers, application developers, and financial services institutions is working together to develop standards-based NFC specifications.Adoption of NFC in Mobile Devices:
- Amazon considering NFC service as an extension of Amazon Payments
- Google released the first NFC-enabled Android phone in December, and is now teaming with MasterCard Inc. and Citigroup Inc. to enable payment by waving the phone at a checkout counter. VeriFone Systems Inc., who make credit-card readers for cash registers, is also involved in upgrading their devices to accept payment via a swipe from a smartphone.
- Microsoft Corp. integrating mobile-payment technology into its Windows Phone 7
- Apple rumored to be working on a NFC solution linking payments through iTunes
- Isis, a mobile commerce joint venture between AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA and Verizon Wireless, announced plans to pilot a payment program in Salt Lake City in 2012
Stats & Projections:
- Mobile payments to reach $618 billion by 2016 (Edgar, Dunn & Co.)
- 1 in 5 smartphones worldwide to have NFC by 2014 (Juniper Research)
- 340 million global wireless users will use mobile payments by 2014 (Gartner)
- transaction value of mobile payments to reach $245 billion by 2014 (Gartner)
- total payment value for NFC globally to reach € 111.19 billion in 2015 (Frost & Sullivan)
3. An Information Layer on Reality
Mobile augmented reality (AR) allows an individual to point their phone’s camera at an object in the physical environment, and see an overlay of information about that object on their screen. Though mobile AR is still in its infancy, it offers a contextual layer for the physical environment and a new level of granularity of information that alters our experience of the world. Current uses include navigation, location, geo-informational services, and gaming.AR Browsers:
Layar, Wikitude, Acrossair
Yelp Monocle – see customer reviews for restaurants, bars and local businesses
Lonely Planet Compass Guides – access Lonely Planet info and reviews at point of interest
TripAdvisor – access TripAdvisor info and reviews at point of interest
Parallel Kingdom – mobile location based massively multiplayer game
Stats & Projections:
- Mobile augmented reality worth $1.5 billion by 2015 (Juniper Research)

4. Gaming Goes Social
The rise of smartphones and web-enabled devices are leading to social gaming becoming a mobile experience. Mobile not only means “on the go,” but also means social games become a physically contextual experience in the real world by adding a layer of geo-awareness to some games. This includes “checking in” to locations in the real world to receive virtual points or rewards, and completing tasks in games in order to receive real world discounts at participating retailers.Stats & Projections:
- Japan’s leading social games company, DeNA, projects $1.3 billion in revenue for 2011
- Zynga, developer of popular Facebook games, projects $1.8 billion in revenue for 2011
- Mobile game revenue to top $11 billion by 2015 (Juniper Research)
- games are biggest app category, both for social web & mobile devices (Morgan Stanley)
It’s looking like mobile will soon become the way the majority of humans on the planet access the web, with NFC technology providing proximity-based information and mobile AR providing a visual information layer, creating a rich contextual information environment.
What are the most interesting tools and applications that can emerge from these conditions?
How will a mobile, context-aware web lead to more intelligent decisions and choices?

Dealing with parent-view disorder
Many of today’s parents suffer (and suffer they do, albeit a good number seem to feel their suffering is a sign of conscientious parenting) from what I call “upside-down, inside-out, and backwards parent-view disorder.”
First, an explanation of the term “parent-view.” Just as one’s worldview consists of beliefs concerning the meaning and purpose of human existence as well as a set of core moral understandings, so one’s parent-view consists of beliefs concerning children — one’s own and others — along with beliefs concerning one’s role and responsibilities as a parent.
A proper parent-view leads to correct parent behavior — relaxed, loving and authoritative. That approach, in turn, results in proper child behavior.
Upside-down, inside-out, and backwards parent-view disorder manifests in various ways, all of which reflect general confusion when it comes to the question “Who’s in charge here?”
Example: A father who recently told me that in response to a class assignment to draw one’s daddy doing his favorite thing, his first-grade daughter drew him taking a nap on the sofa. He assigned great meaning to this, taking it to mean that he is shirking his fatherly duties. He told me that he does not want to be seen by his daughter as a slacker dad and resolved to take no more naps when she is around.
Mind you, this father’s job is mentally, emotionally, and often physically demanding. Nonetheless, he was surprised when I told him that (a) his daughter’s drawing contained no deep psychological meaning and (b) he had every right to take a nap whenever he felt the need. Furthermore, I told him he had every right to tell his daughter that she was not to disturb him while he was napping. That provoked a wide-eyed “Really?”
Yes, really. This father was upside-down, inside-out, and turned around backwards (note the past tense). He obviously thought it was his responsibility to rise to his daughter’s expectations of him. Au contraire, it is her responsibility to rise to his expectations (assuming they are reasonable, which they are and which should include not disturbing him when he is napping), and the earlier she learns this, the better for all concerned, including herself.
Children need parents who are right-side up, right-side out, and facing forward. In other words, they need parents who possess a proper parent-view and can, therefore, give a proper answer to “Who’s in charge here?”

The Automated Farm, from Field to OfficeThe Automated Farm, from Field to Office
Everything in Agriculture is getting automated, even office tasks. Here’s a look at the Farm’s new office.
September 29, 2023
Lee Johnson, engineering manager for technology development, John Deere
Flexible work, hybrid schedules, remote-work models — it’s guaranteed you’ve heard these words over the past few years. Work environment decisions are top of mind for those in the corporate world, as these decisions impact employee retention and company makeup. But imagine working in an industry that not only requires you to work in person every day but that if you didn’t, the world wouldn’t have the necessary means to comfortably survive. Sounds like a lot of pressure, right?
That’s the life of a farmer. Farmers are the backbone of how we feed, clothe, and fuel the world. And as our world population grows, so does the demand for these necessities. This means farmers don’t always have the luxury of a flexible work schedule.
Not all offices consist of four walls. A farmer has many offices that go beyond a physical building. One of farmers’ most important “offices” is the cab of their tractor — also known as the Swiss Army Knife of agriculture because of the various tasks it’s used for. As the complexities of farming and agriculture grow — like the need to increase yields with less farmable land — the tractor cab has steadily advanced. Traditionally a way to protect the operator from dust, dirt, and harsh temperatures, the cab has advanced over the years to provide farmers with high-tech capabilities and support.
The Autonomous Farm
One of those capabilities is self-steering technology. Since the first tractor, farmers have had the task of manually steering their machines for upwards of 12 hours a day. Imagine a 12-hour daily road trip through farmland? Exhausting. The introduction of GPS technology more than two decades ago eased this manual burden, enabling the machine to know exactly where it was in the field and automatically steer the desired path on its own. Today, farmers utilize this option within most machinery, whether planting seeds, caring for plants, or harvesting crop.
Like a laptop or monitor at your desk job, the cab also features digital displays that hold the most important asset of day-to-day operations: data. Sensors, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are now intertwined within agricultural machines, making them complex. Digital displays within the cab – picture a ruggedized tablet – provide farmers with key insights on their land while they’re in the field.
Oftentimes displayed in the form of a map with colors to indicate differing data points, the displays project information like where and when seeds were planted and fertilized, the amount of chemical applied, the varying harvest yields across the fields, and more. Having easy access to this information helps farmers reduce their time in the cab and greatly improves their ability to make real-time decisions. This data, when uploaded to the cloud, also lets farmers compare operations year-over-year to make changes for the future and ultimately boost yields.
The Autonomous Farm’s Office
We can’t be sure what the future of the tractor cab will look like, but we do know that agricultural workplace flexibility is on the horizon.
While these cab components make farmers’ experiences better, they don’t diminish the challenges and time constraints that come along with the profession. Often the most important place for the farmer to be is not in the cab. Sometimes it’s in the field checking how well the machine is operating. Sometimes it’s being in the next field performing a different task or even back at the farm. New autonomous technology reduces the time farmers need to be in the cab or even in the field.
Today, farmers are starting to control autonomous tractors via an app on their phone or tablet, which lets them start, stop, adjust, and monitor tractor operations from anywhere. This is a game-changer for farmers, as their days can be more effective, allowing for more time spent with family, friends, or other “traditional” office tasks. Plus, in an industry whose labor pool is growing at the lowest rate compared to all other industries, this releases the burden on farmers to expand their employee base.
Farmers will likely never have the corporate hybrid work schedule, but they will have the ability to use autonomy to help them focus on their business’s bigger picture such as planting seeds at the optimal time, managing their farm’s logistics, and mitigating skilled labor shortages. As our demand for food, clothing, and fuel rises, farmers must adapt to meet these needs. That’s why autonomous and precision technologies are transforming and evolving to support this critical workforce – a workforce crucial to our survival.

Are you filled with questions or unease about this life you are living? Have you ever wondered why you exist or why there is so much sorrow in this world? Is there a God? Is there purpose behind any of this or is it all just random chance? What happens if I die? Does it ever feel like there is something missing because nothing in this life seems to satisfy? The questions can be endless, however, there is an answer to all these questions and more. They can be found in The Word of The One and Only True Living God.
Gods Word contains answers for the beginning and end of things and everything in between. You will find that its not about going to church, dressing a certain way, talking a certain way, bowing down to idols, being good enough, doing enough good deeds and on and on... God's Word, you will find, is filled with answers not rules, love and not fear. It is different than what all the religions in the world have made it out to be. There is Love beyond measure, satisfaction that can't be contained, a hope beyond your wildest imagination, and a peace that passes all understanding. If this sparks your interest, lets take a peek at what God's Word has to say. A couple of key verses in The Word of God which are focal to an epic purpose and plan that we can be a part of, but also key to our own individual lives, and a beginning point to answering all the questions you have are;
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Ryan Getzlaf -- the affable captain of the Calgary Hitmen -- has an incredible weight on his shoulders, tasked with leading his club on an extended playoff run. As the Sun's Dan Toth found out, the natural athlete has been ready for this moment for years.
Although Ryan Getzlaf is poised to step into the NHL -- whenever its doors re-open -- the Calgary Hitmen captain could have wound up in the big leagues of any number of sports had fate and circumstance been different.
The rangy centre possesses all the tools to make it in the NHL, of course: Soft hands, speed and a punishing shot. And at 6-ft. 4-in., 210 lb., he could have parlayed those same attributes into a future in baseball, football or even volleyball.
The 2003 first-round draft choice of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks was a young star on the diamonds, gridiron and courts before choosing to focus solely on hockey.
"I really enjoyed football. It was a blast and I used to love playing baseball, too, but hockey was always the one passion I had," says the 19-year-old Regina native, captaining the Hitmen in their WHL first-round playoff series against Lethbridge.
"Everything else I played was to pass the time and keep myself in shape for hockey."
And he has older brother Chris Getzlaf -- two and a half years his senior -- to thank for providing a target to shoot for, encouraging his kid brother just enough to make it happen.
"I played hockey two years up with my brother and his group and that pushed me when I was younger," recalls Ryan Getzlaf.
"I was the little brother who wanted to be as good as my big brother and he helped me develop when I was younger and helped me pick up things a bit quicker."
Not that the developmental process was without a hitch. The two Getzlaf boys, like most brothers, waged their personal battles before growing even closer when the dust settled.
As Ryan's fourth year of junior hockey is winding down in Calgary, Chris remains in Regina, attending university and playing junior football. Despite the distance, the siblings have never been closer, staying in touch via regular phone calls and Internet chats.
While Ryan, who started skating at the age of four, was developing into a young hockey star with NHL dreams and the skills to match, Chris was growing into a football receiver with sure hands and elusive speed.
Now playing with the Prairie Thunder back home in the Queen City, Chris has ambitions of one day pulling on CFL colours. He'll have his kid brother to thank should the dream come true.
"We battled a lot when we were younger because we're so competitive but, obviously, as you grow up, you grow into those situations, too," says Ryan, who excelled as a tailback in minor football, while Chris stood out as a receiver.
"Any two kids, when they're younger, they always want to be the best and that helped push us," Ryan said. "Same thing in football, too. I was pretty talented playing football, too, and he kind of excelled in that and I think I helped him there."
Ryan represented Saskatchewan in peewee baseball nationals in P.E.I. in 1998, the only summer he took off from hockey. Taking up residence behind home plate, Ryan showed off a rifle arm in setting a record for throwing out base runners at second, en route to several game MVP awards.
Mom Susan Getzlaf proudly points out her two boys filled a whole room of their home with trophies, plaques and ribbons from the many sports in which both boys excelled.
Over the Christmas break, Ryan Getzlaf continued demonstrating his immense promise as a key ingredient in Team Canada's gold-medal run at the world juniors, finishing second in team scoring with three goals and nine assists.
If NHL labour wranglings continue through the fall, Ryan will likely wind up playing for Cincinnati of the AHL, the Ducks' farm club, but all sports have a way of throwing curve balls.
Getzlaf was sidelined a month this season with a concussion suffered in a collision with Red Deer Rebels defenceman and future Calgary Flames blueliner Dion Phaneuf.
The talented centre's injury frightened his parents more than himself, although the concussion jolted the entire Getzlaf clan into a new perspective on life and Ryan's hockey career.
"It was hard for them because I'd never been through a serious injury before," Ryan says. "I had little minor ones before but the concussion scared my parents more than it did me."
Now fully recovered, Getzlaf spent part of this season discussing concussions with Calgary Flames forward Matthew Lombardi. He, too, suffered a much more serious head injury playing against Detroit in last spring's Stanley Cup playoffs. Lombardi has since recovered and returned to the ice with the Flames' affiliate in Lowell but Getzlaf remains affected emotionally by the injuries.
"I talked with Matt quite a bit and he was dealing with a lot the last little while and he's just started to get back now," says Getzlaf.
"He skated with our team quite a bit at the start of the year when he was still in Calgary. I still talk to him from time to time to see how he's doing.
"It opens your eyes a little bit to realize that serious injuries are out there.
"I'd never really been through a serious injury before but it shakes you a bit."
Danger off the ice has also been front and centre. Getzlaf used a portion of his signing bonus to get behind the wheel of a spanking new Hummer SUV, a safe choice that relieved his father Steve in light of the tragic car crash involving Calgary product Dany Heatley, that killed Atlanta Thrashers forward Dan Snyder.
Heatley's Ferrari was an unrecognizable pile of tangled metal after the accident, a tragic warning for other young athletes with untold wealth and the sudden urge to invest in a sports car.
"Oh yeah," sighs Steve Getzlaf.
"We talked a lot about it and his agent talked about it, too. About not buying a sports car and that if he were to buy something, to get something relatively safe to drive. That is a worry.
"I thought about that and Ryan did, too. We talked a little bit about how damaged that car was and how there wasn't much left of it."
Responsible choices off and on the ice have been an issue this season.
Getzlaf wore the captain's 'C' until stripped of it briefly last fall.
After regaining the letter and the leadership it implied, Getzlaf has raised expectations he'll lead the Hitmen to playoff success after three straight seasons without a series win.
"That's why you're appointed that," Getzlaf says of the leadership role.
"It's been that way for a couple of years. I've always been one of the leaders on the team and it's pretty clear this year that they expect big things out of me and it's got to happen."
Endless questions about the NHL lockout remain, postponing his pro career but for now, Getzlaf's solitary goal is fuelling a Hitmen playoff drive.
"I think you tend to think about the future a little bit but right now my main focus is facing Lethbridge and if the season ends up ending early, then I'll take it from there," Getzlaf suggests.
"At the start of the year, obviously, it was difficult with all the stuff that was going on and all the uncertainties with the NHL but I'm past that point now and we're just focusing on the playoffs."
And no matter how much success Ryan Getzlaf enjoys on the ice, brother Chris has earned an assist.

GORILLA is an English band from Hastings, founded in 1998 by John Redfern, Sarah Russel and Billy Darlington.
Influenced by Budgie, Blue Cheer, Grand Funk Railroad, MC5, the band plays a rough street punk Motorhead/Pink Fairies/Crushed Butler attitude and style with an authentic vintage feel and sound. Capturing the essence of the classic era of 60s/70s rock without sounding cliched is ridiculously hard, if not an impossible self imposed task, but Gorilla have achieved exactly that.
They have performed with Fu Manchu, OJM, Blue Cheer, Josiah, Brant Bjork & The Bros, Orange Goblin, The Heads, Colour Haze, Hawkwind and many others.

You can find three colors of wires in a very standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - one particular on prime plus the other on the base screw of the switch. The white wire serves as a source of uninterrupted energy and it is usually connected to some light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the environmentally friendly wire to the ground screw of one's change.

A recent episode of 60 Minutes had a special story that touches on family, history, genealogy, and place. It was the tale of the Millers, a large extended family from rural Virginia near the North Carolina border.
Air Force veteran Fred Miller decided to purchase a striking old house and property dating from before the Civil War to hold family reunions. We won't reveal the hidden connections that the new owners had with the property, Sharswood, as well as some of the other discoveries they made, but you can watch the video here.
As genealogists and family historians, we were very interested in the techniques used to uncover the secrets. The Millers, like most African-Americans whose ancestors were enslaved, had a "brick wall" before the Civil War. Enslaved people were not enumerated by name on the U.S. federal census - only their ages, gender, and the names of their owners were included in the census slave schedules used in southern states.
For African Americans researching their roots, this requires extra creativity and dedication to track ancestors and connect the faint dots that do exist. The family got in touch with a local genealogist and historian, Karice Luck-Brimmer, who was able to break down the wall, using some of the same detective techniques that we've seen on Finding Your Roots, and indeed anyone can do with access to sites like FamilySearch and Ancestry.com.
It involves doing traditional research with post-Civil War records that contain first and last names of formerly enslaved people, along with other information such as approximate ages and addresses. Such documents include:
- 1870 and 1880 federal census returns
- Birth certificates
- Death certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Military pension records
Even though the U.S. Federal Census slave schedules from 1860 and 1850 do not contain people's names, other pre-1865 records sometimes have first names and other relevant information that can establish connections. Researchers often turn to:
- Probate records
- Slave birth indexes
- Private letters
- Newspaper "fugitive slave" announcements published in the South and North
In this case, the Virginia Slave Birth Index provided the smoking gun that enabled the Miller family to breach the brick wall!
