Coordination in plants 1. All living organisms respond to environmental stimuli. Animals have nervous system and endocrine system for control and coordination. Plants also respond to stimuli by secreting chemicals. Plants exhibit some movements.
This coordination in plants is attributed to the presence of plant hormones. Unlike animals, plants do not have any muscular system or nervous system. But, they are still able to show movement and also coordination. These movements are always controlled and not haphazard. Let us learn more about coordination in plants. Suggested Videos.
The control and coordination in plants is done by plant hormones or phytohormones. It is important to know how a plant responds to various stimuli.
Chemical Coordination ENDOCRINE GLANDS. Endocrine glands lack ducts and are hence, called ductless glands. Their secretions are called hormones. Hormones: Hormones are non-nutrient chemicals which act as intercellular messengers and are produced in trace amounts. HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM.
In our day to day life, we see many visible movements. They are correlated with control and coordination. Some of them are: Movement of hand after touching hot object. Movement of cat after seeing mouse. Plants grown in the presence of sunlight only. Your movement when someone calls you loudly. Movement of our eye when bright light focused on it.
Coordination in Plants You must have noticed that plants show well-coordinated and controlled movements in spite of the fact that they don’t have nerves and muscles. Shifts and changes are one of the essential characteristics of living beings.

Chemical coordination in plants are occurred in plants with the help of fluids secreted in plants known as phytohormones or plant hormones.These hormones regulate the growth of the plants. For example auxin responsible for the growth of the plants and the Cytokinin helps in cell division in the fast growing part of the plant such as plant hormones.
Chemical coordination in plants Growth and development in plants is possible because of plants hormones or phytohormones Auxin, Gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, and ethylene are examples of phytohormones Chemical coordination in animals Carried out with the help of hormones.
Control and coordination:Plants and animals All the living organisms respond and react to changes in the environment around them. The changes in the environment to which the organisms respond and react are called stimuli such as light, heat, cold, sound, smell, touch etc. Coordination in plants Coordination refers to ordered working of different but interrelated.
Chemical coordination takes place in animals with the help of hormones.Hormone is the chemical messenger that regulates the physiological processes in living organisms. It is secreted by glands.
Chemical coordination 1. “ It is the type of coordination present between the cells or different organs within the body of multicellular organisms. In this kind of coordination a group of cells releases specific chemicals, which regulates the activities of other cell of the body.” 2.

text: The informal economy has emerged as one of the most dynamic, active, and hotly-debated domains in the entire developing world. Unfortunately, it remains one of the least treated subjects in mainstream economic theory and development economics. This book brings together the authors' accumulatedwork over the last decade. It provides a detailed theoretical overview and analytical understanding of informal labour markets in the context of economic reforms. Grounded in the neo-classical general equilibrium framework, it analyses the impact of deregulatory policies on the welfare of informalworkers in a segmented labour market. Using empirical data and case studies, the book discusses how informal wage responds to unemployment in the formal sector by exploring the interactions between the formal and the informal labour markets. The authors also examine institutional factors - political, economic, and governance mechanisms- to explore the major causes that sustain or impede the dynamism of the informal labour markets.

Welcome to the Summer of Paper series – where we’ve invited fabulous guests to create projects using supplies from my Home + Made paper decor line.
Hi! I’m Jen Goode (goodie), and I’m the owner of JGoode Designs, an Illustrator and self proclaimed Creativity Adventurer based in Colorado. I create art to use in DIY project design and licensing and currently work with a variety of brands including HP and Cricut. I share tutorials, printables and inspiration on my blog 100 Directions to help YOU get creative.
Are you ready to get creative? I am so excited to be here today to share a fun DIY art collage project with you. I love the colors and patterns in Jen’s new Homemade collection with Pebbles Inc. It’s such a perfect set to create all kinds of beautiful pieces. I decided to create a wall art design to showcase the pretty florals in the 12×12 paper pack and then add a touch of gold accent. You can mix and match these papers to create your own custom collage art (or lovely art cards too). Pick the flowers and quotes you love best, grab your Mod Podge and you’re set!
Materials you need:
- Jen Hadfield Homemade 12×12 Paper Pack
- Jen Hadfield Homemade Jewel Stickers
- Jen Hadfield Homemade Gold Chevron Cardstock
- Jen Hadfield Homemade Gold Garland
- Wood board (I used a 12″x24″ board)
- Bakers Twine (green)
- Hole punch
- Mod Podge (I used the Chalkboard matte finish to decrease shine)
- Craft Glue
- Paint brushes
- Fine Point Sharpie Black Sharpie
- Sketch out the design you’d like to create. You can create the same design I did or customize your own, just move the flowers around how you like them.
- Cut out flowers and other shapes from the patterned papers. Cut out quotes from word paper.
- Cut garland pieces and trim off threads. Use a hole punch to create tiny gold circles from the cardstock.
- Cut background paper into strips. This is especially helpful if your wood board is not exactly 24″ tall. Mine was really about 1/4 longer, so using strips of paper, I was able to give the illusion of a fully covered board.
- Cut out heart shapes from the pink chevron pattern paper to include if you’d like.
- Decoupage the background paper to the board. Using a paint brush, apply Mod Podge to the raw wood board and then place a paper strip. Rub the paper smooth and apply Mod Podge to edges to seal. Repeat the process until the entire board is covered with the background paper. Do not cover the entire board as the Mod Podge might dry quicker than you can place all the paper at once.
- Coat the entire board with Mod Podge to seal the entire piece. Allow to dry.
- Lay out your design on the board, placing flowers where you’d like them without adhering them yet. Once you decide on your layout, decoupage each piece to the board. Use a paint brush to apply Mod Podge to the flower or shape, place where you’d like it. Rub smooth on to the board and then brush Mod Podge over the top to seal in place. Repeat until all your paper images are in place.
- Using the paint brush, apply Mod Podge where you’d like your stems. Carefully place Bakers twine and then seal in place with more Mod Podge.
- Decoupage the quote pieces in place as desired.
- Finish the art with little touches of gold confetti and garland circles. Use glue to apply these pieces and do not coat with Mod Podge. Apply anything on top of the gold will decrease the shine.
- Allow to dry.
I hope you have fun making this custom art for your own home. Experiment a little, change up the colors and add in some fun hand drawn accents. You can personalize your decor art as much as you’d like. This beautiful collection of papers and accents that Jen has created will look gorgeous in your home!
Thanks Jen! I love your artwork! It’s just gorgeous! Here are a more ideas from Jen that I know you’ll love:
She’s got this gorgeous Floral Art Card Printable that would be so cute for a card!
She also has this Pretty Painted Place Setting that is just gorgeous!
And she also has this fun tutorial for creating Floral Art for Your Phone!

Completing the Picture: Mapping how Children fit into the transportation Landscape
***Note: The next Province Wide Count is on February 21-24, 2017***
The Active and Safe Routes to School Program at Green Action Centre is conducting a two year study of Transportation Modes in Manitoba Schools. Count your school and division in, and help us gather a clear picture of how children are getting to and from school in Manitoba in 2016-2017
Starting in February 2016, thanks to funding from the Heart and Stroke, the Active and Safe Routes to School (ASRTS) program at Green Action Centre is conducting a province wide count of transportation modes for Manitoba schoolchildren. Using our proprietary Web App BikeWalkRoll, we are asking schools and school divisions across the province to chart the transportation modes of the students in their schools for 2 one week periods in February and May of 2016, and again in February and May of 2017.
Why are we conducting this study?
Currently, there is very little data on how schoolchildren in Manitoba are getting to and from school. At present we only have anecdotal information from parents and schools; this study aims to change that, and help us gather comprehensive and reliable data on the transportation landscape for Manitoba schoolchildren.
Once we have the data collected, we will be working with a team of Health Economists, Epidemiologists, and Climate change specialists to evaluate the data, and publish a report on our findings in the fall of 2017. We are hoping to use this report to spark a discussion on how children are transported to and from school every day, and ultimately encourage more parents and children to choose the healthier and less polluting choice by walking or biking to school instead of driving where possible.
How can my school Participate?
We have attempted to make the submitting of data as easy as possible, as we know that teachers and administrators are pressed for time in their daily workdays.
There are four easy steps to participate:
1) To participate, simply conduct a hands up survey every morning for 4 one week periods:
The weeks of February 22nd-26th and May 16th-20th of 2016;
& February 20th-24th and May 15th-19th of 2017
This hands up survey consists of simply asking the kids in your school “How did you get to school today?”, and recording what transport mode they employed that day.
The five transport modes we are recording in our study are:
Bike (from home to school)
Walk (from home to school)
Roll (rollerblade, skateboard, wheelchair, stroller, etc.)
Car (or taxi)
Bus (or public transit)
2) Record the transport modes of the kids in your class on a chart, piece of paper, parchment- whatever is easiest.
3) At the end of the week, Log onto our web app at BikeWalkRoll.org, and locate your school.
4) Enter your class name, and the data collected.
Once your data has been entered, you will be able to compare your class and school scores to that of other schools across the world!
This data can be used in any variety of ways to study the way that children travel to and from school, discuss the benefits of active travel including physical activity, cleaner air and safer streets.
Why should my School and Division Participate?
Numerous studies have shown many benefits to having children walk or bike to school, including:
1) Improved health through physical activity Canada received a grade of “D” for active transportation in the 2015 ParticipACTION Report Card, with only 24% of Canadian children regularly walking or biking to school. Children who walk and bike to school have higher physical activity levels throughout the day, helping them meet the recommended 60 minutes of activity daily. This level of activity helps prevent childhood obesity and supports healthy bones.
2) Cleaner air as less vehicles are on the road; schools with high traffic volumes have poorer air in the immediate area around the school as parents drive their kids to school. Air quality around a school suffers when dozens of parents sit in idling cars while their children jump out. Air pollution has contributed to childhood asthma rates doubling between 1980 and the mid-1990s. Asthma rates remain at historically high levels and cause 14 million missed school days every year. Walking and biking to school is healthy for kids, healthy for communities, and healthy for the planet.
3) Safer streets as vehicle traffic is reduced; schools that are able to increase the number of children walking and biking to school regularly witness a corresponding drop in vehicle traffic in the immediate area around the school.
4) Better learning as studies have shown that students who walk or bike are able to concentrate better; a MASS experiment in Denmark in 2012 showed that students who walk or bike to school displayed an “increased power of concentration, and the effect of this ‘exercise’ lasted all morning”
5) Safer communities as more people are on the streets every day; the more people walking and biking on the streets in a community makes for more eyes to look out for criminal behaviour, reducing the opportunity for criminals to commit crimes unobserved.
6) Reduced Carbon emissions as less vehicles are on the road, helping to combat climate change, and reduce the adverse effects that correspond with a changing climate.
7) Improved Safety for Children: The 2015 ParticipACTION report found that “Canadian children are eight times more likely to die as a passenger in a motor vehicle than from being hit by a vehicle when outside on foot or on a bike.” If we want to protect our children both from short term injury as well as long term health complications, we should encourage them to walk or bike to and from school.
8) More inspiration and opportunity for outdoor Play: As children are able to explore and become comfortable in their community, they are more likely to find inspiration in the outdoor spaces in their community that they might otherwise miss while travelling in a vehicle.

President Jokowi: Indonesia is A Role Model for Multiculturalism
President Joko Jokowi Widodo said that Indonesia is known by other countries as a diverse country that still can maintain its unity.
Last month during a meeting with 100 World Islamic scholars, we introduced the concept Islamic Middle PathIslam as mediating and balancing power. The ulemas who attended the event appreciated what we have practiced: a moderate and peaceful Islam, said President Jokowi during a gathering with ulemas and public figures of Karawang Regency at Asshiddiqiyah Islamic Boarding School, Karawang Regency, Java West, Wednesday (6/6).
According to the President, that is a characteristic of Islam in Indonesia.
The President added that Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar and High Priest of Masjidil Haram who attended the event also expressed their admiration for harmony and brotherhood of Indonesia. Thus, President Jokowi continued, Indonesian people should take this as a power and potential to advance this country. We are a role model for unity by other countries, so we must not be disunited because of different opinion in politics, the President emphasized.
President Jokowi also explained that Indonesia is a diverse country with different tribes, religions, customs, and traditions and has 714 tribes with more than 1,100 local languages. This is God’s blessing given to us. We are indeed different. Indonesia is diverse and plural. This is what I keep reminding to all, the President continued.
Therefore, President Jokowi called on all participants of the gathering to maintain peace and unity ahead of regional and presidential election because the elections that occur once in 5 years often causes Indonesian people to be hostile and divided because of different opinion in regent, mayor, governor, as well as president election.
It’s a very big loss for us (to be divided) because our nation’s great asset is unity and harmony, the President added.
On that occasion, President Jokowi also invited scholars and caretakers of Islamic boarding schools in Karawang Regency to maintain ukhuwah islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood) and ukhuwah wathaniyah (national solidarity). Please use our political rights to elect the best leader for the district, city, province, or national. After the election period, we should be united again. Do not let politics divide us President Jokowi concluded.
Accompanying President Jokowi in the event were First Lady Ibu Iriana Joko Widodo, member of Presidential Advisory Board (Wantimpres) Agum Gumelar, Coordinator of Presidential Special Staff Teten Masduki, and Governor of West Java Ahmad Heryawan. (FID / ES) (STU/EP/Naster)

FOXBOROUGH – There’s only one image that most will remember from Sunday’s 31-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers: Offensive lineman Dan Connolly bumbling his way down the field 71 yards on a kickoff return.
“That was the longest kickoff return ever and the longest – I’ve never seen anything happen so slow in my life,” quarterback Tom Brady said after the game. “I can never imagine anything like that is going to happen.”
The Packers kicked a squib kick to Connolly in an attempt to avoid specialist Brandon Tate, and Connolly made them pay. He tucked the ball in and broke the left side of the field, taking the ball into the red zone before running out gas and being tackled.
He was helped by huge blocks by Sergio, Sammy Morris and Rob Ninkovich. Connolly was only one away from a touchdown.
The Patriots scored three plays later to get within 17-14 heading into halftime.
It was the longest return ever by an offensive lineman.
“I’ll tell you what, Connolly right now probably has the greatest return average in the National Football League,” tackle Matt Light said. “That was incredible, it was a heck of an effort. I couldn’t believe it when I was watching it to be honest with you.”
The Packers said they wouldn’t have done it any differently, though.
“Usually when a lineman picks up the ball, you get him down in a couple yards,” Packers kicker Mason Crosby said. “He made a great play and had a little speed down the side. You’ve got to give him credit.”

Roma are increasingly confident that midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini has not suffered a serious ankle injury after being forced off in their goalless draw against Sassuolo on Sunday.
The Italy international was caught by Pedro Obiang in a fiery Serie A encounter at the Stadio Olimpico and limped off in the 82nd minute, to be replaced by Amadou Diawara. Find red Maeng Da Kratom and other heath products on this site along with some information for you.
Whilst Roma feared that Pellegrini may have suffered significant damage to ligaments in his ankle, Vocegiallorossa.it report that an ultrasound carried out at the Giallorossi’s Trigoria training ground on Monday delivered promising news.
Pellegrini still has a large amount of swelling on his ankle but the prognosis is far more positive than initially feared and the likelihood of a serious injury has been almost ruled out but he was still advised to visit QC Kinetix Huntsville to reverse the pain on his ankle. Consider consulting with a medical malpractice lawyer near you to win the case.
The 24-year-old will continue to be monitored daily but could even feature against Bologna next Sunday should the swelling go down sufficiently.
A graduate of Roma’s academy, Pellegrini spent two seasons at Sassuolo before returning to the Lupi in 2017 and has made 121 appearances for his hometown club.


So once again Rob cut off his precious hair. According to E! news, Rob cut it off to do 'Water For Elephants.' So, if this statement is TRUE, Rob didn't cut his hair off by choice, he cut it off for a movie. Heres him out & about in L.A. But its hair, it'll grow back.

Mahesh Manjrekar had vowed to give up acting. But his new best-friend Salman Khan keeps coaxing Manjrekar back to the camera. For Salman’s home production Dabangg, Manjrekar stepped into the role of debutante Sonakshi Sinha’s father on Salman’s say-so. That was meant to be Manjrekar’s swan song as an actor.
But now he has again been persuaded to face the camera with Salman for Anees Bazmee‘s Ready. The funniest part of the director’s enforced career as an actor is, he doesn’t know what his role in Ready is.
Says Mahesh, “Salman said you have to do it. I know I decided I won’t be acting anymore. But you can’t say no to Salman. He said, ‘You’re in Ready and you’re part of my family in the film. Beyond that, all I know is I play a positive role for a change.”

Clay Brennan, candidate for superior court judge, has earned endorsements from a wide range of local community leaders and elected officials. Especially noteworthy to me is his endorsement by all of the current Mendocino judges who in fact made endorsements. Clay is also endorsed by all seven retired local judges who have made endorsements.
These judges (including myself) endorsed Clay Brennan after the deadline, when the candidates were known. Their endorsements indicate a choice between Clay Brennan and his opponent. Generally, active judges are not allowed to publicly endorse candidates. However The Canon of Judicial Ethics allows judges to participate in judicial races. This is precisely because “[judges] are in a unique position to know the qualifications necessary to serve as a competent judicial officer” (commentary to Canon 5).
I personally know and respect each candidate. I am convinced Clay Brennan is the most qualified to be our next elected judge. I am pleased my personal evaluation is so widely held.

Source: CoreLogic 1st November 2021
Across the eastern seaboard, the markets continue to rise, albeit at a slower pace. Affordability remains a challenge for Sydney and as the entry price creeps out of reach for many people, buyers are looking for alternatives, such as higher density living or further afield in places that offer greater value for money, like QLD.
From an opportunistic perspective, the Melbourne market has not had the same chance to recover its economy after experiencing the longest cumulative lockdown for any city in the world! Though once our Australian borders re-open and we receive an influx of migration, the Melbourne market offers employment and infrastructure without the Sydney price tag.

German intelligence service interested in Rakhat Aliyev
Rakhat Aliyev. Snapshot of the video from youtube.com
German intelligence service is interested in the former ambassador of Kazakhstan to Austria Rakhat Aliyev, Malta Today writes. Such information emerged in the parliamentary requests of the German Green Party’s MP Viola von Cramon to German Chancellor Angela Merkel. According to the source, the deputy gained access to secret documents under condition of confidentiality. called all witnesses of the crimes committed by Rakhat Aliyev to present proof of such to police investigators. This is what Prime-Minister wrote in the official response to MP Arnold Cassola from the Green Party. In his request the deputy asked about the measures taken by the authorities on allegations against Aliyev who is accused of crimes against humanity and of using Malta as a base for money laundering. Former Kazakhstan Prime-Minister Akezhan Kazhegeldin and two of his bodyguards are insisting that an investigation should be held by Maltese law-enforcement authorities on the allegations against Aliyev. In particular, Kazhegeldin's bodyguards state that they were tortured in a bid to force a confession on Aliyev's order, who served as the chairman of Kazakhstan National Security Commission back in 2000. In the beginning of last November Kazhegeldin applied to Maltese court with a complaint against nonfeasance of the local police that refused to investigate allegations against Rakhat Aliyev. The hearings on this case are still in process.

The Volta Aluminum Company has acquired a parcel of land near Atuabo in the Western region for the development of a power plant.
VALCO has also signed an MOU with the Ghana Gas Company for the supply to gas to run the plant.
The aluminum smelter is operating only one out of five production lines due to inadequate power supply.
It?s currently receiving about 80 megawatts of power from the VRA out of a total demand of 350 megawatts to run all the five plants.
Communication Specialist at the Energy Ministry Edward Bawa tells XYZ Business the project will reduce VALCO?s dependence on VRA for its power supply.
Mr. Bawa adds the power plant will boost government?s efforts to revamp
Meanwhile, the Sale and Purchase agreement covering the Volta Aluminum Company can still not be traced.
This covers the 20 million Dollar sale of ninety percent of shares of Kaizer Aluminum to the government of Ghana.
The Kufour administration acquired Kaizer?s shares following the American company?s financial crisis in 2003.
Chief Executive of VALCO, Dr Charles Mensah tells XYZ Business the document must be with the Attorney General?s Department and the Finance Ministry.


Garden Flame Guns & Weed Burners
Flame guns are the best garden machinery for removing overgrown weeds and brush quickly, and they'll thoroughly kill seeds and plants together.
They're more affordable and environmentally friendly than chemical weed killers, so they're a good choice for domestic British gardens when you need to shop for organic weed control options. Most flame guns for sale have a wand or lance to reduce the need to bend when weeding. New flame guns with a wheeled trolley attachment and wind guard are a great deal, and they'll easily clear weeds between stone, paved areas, and concrete paths. They're ideal for disused allotments, but be careful not to use them on tarmac, decking, or other combustible surfaces.
Before you buy one, check that no animals live in the undergrowth where you plan to burn. When ready to use, just heat the weeds enough that when you press a leaf between your finger and thumb it goes dark green. The heat weakens cell walls and the weeds will naturally break down after a few hours. Depending on the area, you may need 4-5 burning treatments per year. Sheen flame guns come in a hot range of styles offering a great quality and value, and they're often used by professional and commercial landscapers in the UK.

Pathogenic soil organisms present in the soils of most mature orchards often damage the roots of young fruit trees when the site is replanted. Poor root development leads to reduced vegetative growth and poor fruit yields throughout the life of the replanted orchard. This effect is especially common in north-central Washington, but is being recognized as an increasing problem in other regions. Replant disease is most common when apples, cherries, or pears are planted after apples, pears, or cherries; however, it seems that almost any woody perennial crop is affected when planted after any other woody crop. Changing from apples to cherries will not help you avoid this common problem. Growers have reported significant tree growth response on many sites when they fumigate between the removal of an apple orchard and the planting of cherries. Even wine grapes grow relatively less well when planted into recent orchard sites.
Certain soil fumigants have controlled the specific orchard replant disease when properly applied. The positive effect of controlling this disease can be measured the first season, and even 20 years after treatment.
There are no soil treatments that will effectively control replant disease problems after planting. Nonchemical control options include a 5-year (or more) rotation out of orchard (removing most of the tree roots the first year), or the replacement of soil in the planting hole with good quality soil from a non-orchard source. To be effective, the soil replacement should fill a planting hole 7 feet across and 2.5 feet deep. Of course, soil replacement is not at all practical on a large scale. Using less soil in smaller planting holes helps the trees grow somewhat better the first season or two, but the effects of replant disease soon become evident. You have a bigger sick tree.
The most promising new development is the discovery of replant disease tolerance in some of the Geneva series rootstocks, which may lead to more success in fully recovering the productivity of otherwise great fruit production sites. It is likely that the combination of an effective fumigation and the tolerant rootstock will perform better than either technology alone to manage orchard replant disease.
There is no apparent tolerance of replant disease in any available cherry or pear rootstock.
There is a strong interaction between the quality of the soil, management (irrigation, fertility, and weeds) of the young orchard, and preplant treatment relative to replanting success. Even with good overall management of the planting, you will only have “fair” reestablishment of an orchard with poor soil quality.
Unfumigated orchards are usually difficult to manage when young, and take several extra years to break even, if they ever do. If you are not absolutely certain that replanted trees grow very well in your orchard, you may skip a $500–700/acre procedure and suffer a $40,000/acre reduction in gross returns over the next 10 years.
While many soil fumigants, fungicides, fertilizers, and soil amendments have been tested for effect on the orchard replant disease, only three have shown long-term growth and yield benefits in Washington orchard trials: methyl bromide, metam sodium (or metam potassium), and fumigants containing 1,3-dichloropropene + chloropicrin mixtures. The other treatments may help early tree growth, but the effect of replant disease can be seen during the second or third leaf, resulting in slightly larger, but sick, trees.
Most fumigants must be custom applied, as special equipment and skills are required, but some may be applied by a certified private applicator. New regulations about fumigation, phased in from 2009-2010, make the application of fumigants by anyone other than a licensed professional very difficult. If you are unfamiliar with the fumigant product you wish to personally apply, pay special attention to use and safety information prior to purchasing. Used improperly, fumigants can be quite hazardous to the applicator and the crop, and will not effectively control orchard replant disease. Some application options described on fumigant product labels have not resulted in replant disease control, so closely follow the label methods that have proven successful in Washington orchards, as described below.
Follow soil temperature and preparation guidelines on the product label. Since we are usually trying to fumigate in the late fall after harvest, or in the early spring before planting, we may not have optimum soil conditions when we get ready to fumigate. Fumigants are more effective if the soil is not at the bare minimum of condition at the time of application. In general, colder, wetter, and finer textured soils retain fumigants longer. The soil is usually in best condition for fumigation in October and early November, and in April or later in the spring. In the fall, treatment should be completed well ahead of the time that soil temperatures drop below the minimum recommended on the label.
To reduce the potential for fumigant damage to the newly planted trees roots, dig planting holes or disturb the planting area soil a few days prior to planting. Working the soil a few days prior to planting is especially important when you are planting by machine following a spring fumigant application. Fumigants tend to remain longer in unripped, compacted soils.
It is far better to plant later than usual in spring than to risk tree damage by planting while fumigant residues remain in the soil. Skipping fumigation because it sets back the planting date is a poor choice. A tree planted in May in fumigated soil usually outperforms a March-planted tree suffering from even a mild case of replant disease. Long-term productivity should be the main concern, not date of planting.
Fumigants are safe and effective when properly used, but special training is highly recommended for first-time users. Having used other pesticides or fumigants does not qualify as adequate user experience because each fumigant has unique properties. Before using any fumigant, carefully read and follow safe handling and protective equipment information on the label. Special respirator canisters and vaporproof eye protection may be required.
Chloropicrin + D-D mixtures
Chloropicrin was the first soil fumigant found to effectively reduce the severity of replant disease. Its use is relatively new in orchards only because properly designed custom application equipment was not available in most areas until the past decade. This product moves not much more than 9 to 12 inches from the point of injection, so it must be custom applied with special equipment. A large volume of the trees’ future root zone must be treated to assure long-term benefits. Therefore, the application equipment must apply the product in a manner that assures that the future tree row is treated in a band at least 7 or 8 feet wide and 2 to 3 feet deep. For modern apple planting systems with close row spacing, there can be no banding, just broadcast.
The chloropicrin is usually mixed at high rates with either methyl bromide (at lower rates than used for straight methyl bromide fumigation) or 1,3-dichloropropine. The 1,3-D + chloropicrin mixture is often sold under the trade name of Telone C-17 or Telone C-35. These mixtures have performed very well in north-central Washington trials. Telone, a 1,3-dichloropropene product without chloropicrin is not recommended for orchard replant disease control. The lower rate of methyl bromide or the 1,3-D in the chloropicrin mixture will aid in nematode and soil insect control. These pests, which sometimes can be important, would not be adequately controlled if you used only chloropicrin.
Follow the critically important soil condition, soil preparation, and application timing guidelines described on the label. Poor application conditions lead to poor results, which is a very expensive mistake.
Metam Sodium or Metam Potassium
This product, at least for the immediate future, can be applied by the certified private applicator. Since it is somewhat difficult to apply correctly, there are numerous ways the application can be done incorrectly, leading to poor results. The most common mistake is the overapplication of water when applying. Read and follow directions carefully.
Originally sold as Vapam, this product is now also available under several other trade names, including: Soil Prep, Nemasol, Metam Sodium, and Busan. The potassium form is sold as K-Pam. Metam, a water-soluble liquid, is moved by irrigation water into the zone of the soil that you wish to treat. After the fumigant/water mixture stops moving downward in the soil, the metam converts into a more toxic fumigant gas (methy-isothiocyanate). This gas moves only a few inches from the zone treated with the water mixture. Since the active ingredient moves only a short distance, it is critical that the metam/water mix penetrate the future tree root zone 2.5 to 3 feet, but no more.
The most effective rate is 75 gallons of product per treated surface acre. Lower rates have resulted in reduced tree growth and lower fruit production. In trials, higher rates have not increased growth and production. (Older data will show 100 GPA as the more effective rate, but that was with a lower active ingredient formulation.)
Before application, soil should be 45°F to 65°F, and relatively moist (over 85% of field capacity). Pre-irrigate the field if the soil is even moderately dry. Use approximately 0.5 to 1 inch of sprinkler irrigation water to drive the fumigant to the desired depth. Without immediate incorporation with water, the product will evaporate rapidly, creating a drift and applicator hazard.
Overapplication of water during application will overdilute the product in the soil and greatly reduce the fumigant effect. Your goal during application should be to drive the product in no less than 2 feet, but no more than 3 feet. Sandy, wet soils require the lesser rate of water; finer textured, plowed or ripped, and drier soils require the higher amount. Measure the irrigation system application rate to determine the hours of irrigation that will apply the proper amount of water. Most systems should be run 2 to 5 hours during the application process.
It is not always practical to work the orchard soil prior to treatment. If the soil is prepared for planting after treatment, do not mix untreated soil into the fumigated area.
Note: Metam sodium products have a number of application methods on their labels. The long-term practical and effective treatment methods for orchard replant disease involve driving the product into the soil with sprinkler irrigation water. There are some commercial applicators who have specially designed equipment that applies metam into the soil by shank. Results are reported to be very promising. Rototilling the product into the soil or filling planting holes with large volumes of water mixed with a per-site rate of the fumigant has not been effective on sites with moderate to severe replanting disorder. If you do not have sprinkler irrigation available at the time of application, this product is not recommended. Application in the fall of the year before water systems are shut off is the most practical approach. The fact that water comes into irrigation systems late in the spring will set back your planting date. Planting late is far better than not fumigating.
Early fall treatment will allow you to plant the treated site in late winter or early spring. If fall weather or lack of irrigation water postharvest delays treatment until spring, label instructions require 30 days to pass between treatment and planting. The site and soil can be prepared for planting starting 10–14 days after treatment. Digging planting holes or disturbing the soil a few days prior to planting speeds the release of fumigant residues that may remain. Nontoxic, but unpleasant sulfurous odors may remain in the soil for several weeks after treatment.
Note This product is being phased out, and is now difficult to purchase.

Victor Davis Hanson asks, “Whom is Barack Obama Afraid of? — Another Barack Obama:”
One of the reasons why President Obama may be hesitating to commit fully to a renewed Afghan front is that he is worried that political opportunists might seek to gain advantage by loud rhetoric that unfairly simplifies the bad and worse choices, that he, like all other presidents in time of war, are confronted with.
In other words, he fears someone very much like an on-the-rise Barack Obama himself—who in 2007 in loud fashion demanded that all combat brigades leave Iraq by March 2008 and then flat-out declared to the nation that “the surge is not working” (a mantra for months posted on his website until Trotskyized in summer 2008). Ditto all that with Guantanamo, elements of homeland security, and Iran—and one can see that Obama knows first-hand the opportunities for demagogic and unprincipled political ankle-biting that a decisive wartime President invites. After all, what President, after making a tough decision to surge into Afghanistan, wants a young charismatic rival barnstorming the nation, without evidence assuring the public that “the surge is not working!”
Mr. Obama may have similar fears on a domestic level. (Perhaps worse — he’s more in-tune to the fighting on the ground there). There’s an L.A. Times article titled, “Democratic Party encounters ‘Obama hangover’ in state, local elections.” At least based on the response of the tea parties, F. Scott Fitzgerald never had a hangover as bad as that! Orrin Judd responds that hopeandchange works in both directions: “The UR ran on a content free message of change. Now voters are changing the leadership of their states too. It’s not a reaction to Obama. It is Obamist.”
Update: Much more from VDH on BHO, here.


There is a common source of anxiety for many Arizona homeowners. It’s the fear of having a major air conditioner malfunction on the hottest day of the year. Where temperatures frequently soar well above 110 degrees, it’s an understandable worry. Yet, there are some simple ways that you can greatly reduce your chance of having an unexpected breakdown during a blisteringly hot day.
The greater Phoenix area is known for its relentless summer heat. Air conditioning maintenance isn’t just a good idea. It’s an absolute must for preventing a system malfunction or failure. The following are some basic preventive tips to ensure your air conditioner will keep you cool even during the hottest days and nights.
Change Your Air Filter
Air filters can become clogged quickly, particularly after a monsoon dust storm. When they are filled with debris, dust and other particulates, they can cause your air conditioner to work harder. This can lead to problems. By regularly replacing or cleaning filters, you can reduce the load on your air conditioner.
Remove Debris around the Unit
Wind from desert storms can also wreak havoc by blowing grass, leaves, branches and dirt into and around your air conditioning unit. This can cause a host of problems, including a costly breakdown. Regularly clear vegetation away from your unit and always check for debris following storms.
Contrary to popular belief, blocking vents in a room doesn’t save energy. In fact, it can increase the pressure load on your air conditioner. By closing vents, you’re blocking cool air and decreasing the unit’s performance. For maximum efficiency and to prevent an overloaded air conditioner, open all vents and keep them free of any obstructions that prevent air flow.
Get a Maintenance Tune Up
When was the last time your air conditioner was serviced? If it has been more than a year, you’re at a much higher risk of having a major problem occur. During the hot summer months, it’s just not worth the risk. The loss of air conditioning in triple digit heat can set a household into a tailspin within a matter of hours.
Call Chandler Air today to schedule service on your air conditioner. We’ll clean, tune and adjust your system to ensure it works seamlessly throughout the summer and all year long. Call us today at (480) 899-0267.


In this fun vintage "infographic," the engineers who worked on Scotland's Forth Bridge set up their own human demo of the design principle behind the iconic structure. Sir Benjamin Baker (right) and Sir John Fowler (left) serve as the structure's cantilevers, and the load (Japanese engineer Kaichi Watanabe in the center) is supported by a balance of tension (in the men's arms and the ropes to the anchors on both ends) and compression (in the men's torsos and the sticks gripped in their hands).
This innovative balancing of forces helped the Forth Bridge reach a total span of 8,296 feet, which was good enough to hold the title of world's "longest single cantilever bridge span" for nearly 30 years. To this day, it's still the second longest span, right behind the Quebec Bridge. Other structures built according to this principle include the Minato Bridge in Osaka, Japan and the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York.

The coronavirus pandemic has posed a serious challenge to law firms like Donich Law including courts of law. Seven months of pandemic has significantly affected the criminal justice system particularly with the backlog in court cases that have to start clearing. In courts, judges will require the wearing of face masks in order to protect jurors and others from Covid-19.
With people confined in their homes together, it isn’t surprising to see an increase in domestic assault and intoxication cases. According to Giles County Commonwealth’s Attorney Bobby Lilly, there is a notable increase in crimes of violence like strangulation, repeat violations of protective orders and family violence that involves weapons.
Meanwhile, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and others say that there is little uniformity to the cases across New River and Roanoke Valleys. Anecdotal accounts from different localities suggest that different places have different experiences.
In Montgomery and Giles counties, reports have revealed a sharp rise in domestic violence cases from a year ago; however, the number of burglaries has declined because people are staying at home, making their properties less vulnerable to burglars.
In Virginia, one of the significant issues is the halting of jury trials while officials are figuring out how to protect juror and lawyers from Covid-19. The problem has become more daunting as more numbers are reported by the Department of Health across the state.
Another major challenge is the reluctance of both defendants and witnesses to come to court. A steadily building backlog of cases is waiting particularly the non-jury cases. Local judges have submitted their plans to keep courts safe but they have to wait for state approval to resume jury trials.
At least 21 criminal jury trials are on hold in Montgomery County but judges have been instructed to schedule jury trials for 2 days in anticipation of things taking longer while Covid-19 procedures are being approved.
It is very frustrating for anyone to be charged with a criminal offense but there is Donich Law that offers individualized client service. The law firm has earned a reputation in trusted risk management and litigation built on hard work, results and years of experience.

Coach Kim Furnish summed up the weekend with one comment on Saturday night.
“After the first quarter, we finally went out and took care of business,” the second-year Fillies mentor said.
This could have applied to the first 13 games of the year as the Fillies looked like they learned how to put a team away Saturday night after a season-to-date of leading and losing the lead.
Thursday night the Fillies played the 10-2 Lady Bears to a tough 53-46 loss after trailing by only one point going into the final eight minute stanza.

Police have launched a murder investigation after a 9-year-old schoolgirl was killed on Friday evening, July 28 in Boston, Lincolnshire.
The girl died after a suspected street stabbing in the market town. Chief Superintendent Kate Anderson confirmed to the press this morning that two people have been arrested.
“A nine-year-old girl has died of what we believe to be the result of a stab wound. We’ve arrested two people in connection with the incident.
“We believe this to be an isolated incident and we are pursuing extensive lines of enquiry and have committed a number of resources to this investigation.”
She added a “high number of specialist detectives” have been called in to help with the investigation – although cops are “not yet in a position to name the victim”.
Declining to confirm the nationality of the victim’s family, she said: “At the moment we are respecting the wishes of the family by not releasing her details.”
When asked if those arrested were adults or juveniles, Anderson said;
“We have a number of active lines of inquiry.
“It would be unfair for me to speculate on potential motives.”
Forensic officers set up an evidence tent in the town’s Fountain Lane last night after the tragedy unfolded around 6.20pm.


Industry Brings Money Into City, But It’s a Mixed Blessing
By Zach Campbell
BROOKLYN — New York is by far the world’s most filmed city, and Brooklyn is an integral part of this activity. This week alone, Brooklyn Heights has been home to film crews shooting three TV shows and two feature films.
Neighborhood residents, however, often take issue with the impact of these productions: film crews often block off a street, restricting movement through a neighborhood. They also can take up entire blocks of street parking, produce excess light, noise and commotion, and leave trash when they pull away.
Film and TV production is one of the city’s major industries: According to the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, the city agency that coordinates filming in all five boroughs, it employs around 100,000 people and generates more than $5 billion annually.
Permits are required if a crew is to assert “exclusive use” of any city property for their production. A permit costs $300 and requires that a production company carry liability insurance for the entire shoot. Aside from this, production companies do not need to pay to film in New York.
“The big studios will always introduce themselves — they are usually respectful and polite,” said Judy Stanton, executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Neighborhood Association, who added that “makers of commercials are much less considerate.” Stanton went on to explain that her association regularly receives complaints from residents over blocked parking spots.
The Mayor’s Office has published guidelines for how a film crew can minimize their impact on a community: They are recommended to familiarize themselves with the neighborhood, reach out to local business owners and neighborhood associations, and clean up the block before leaving. Violations can lead to permit revocation and affect their ability to get permits for future projects.
“They’re not just handing out permits — you really need to know what you’re doing when you go in there and apply,” said one production manager who was responsible for a shoot on Court Street yesterday. He later explained that a production company will usually hire a location manager to handle all interactions with the affected community.
Filming Can Both Hurt, Benefit Communities
Some location managers can be more involved than others. A quick walk down Court Street and Atlantic Avenue showed film-related trash, no-parking signs that were days past their removal date, and a production truck that was filling the sidewalk with black exhaust and leaking liquid into the street. Calls to the production companies responsible were not returned.
Filming, however, can also benefit a community: Production crews patronize local businesses and often hire local crews. Many will also donate to a neighborhood association after a shoot.
The Mayor’s Office has created a program of incentives for filming in New York. Production companies can receive large tax credits for using local crews and studios. The city also provides help with story development, scouting and budgets, as well as many other discounts.
“They have actually been bringing us more business,” said an employee at Café Catania on Atlantic Avenue. Outside, a production truck was parked, with stairs leading up to three dressing rooms.
According to the Borough President’s office, most filming in Brooklyn happens in the neighborhoods that border the East River, from Greenpoint and Williamsburg down to Red Hook, Gowanus and Park Slope. These neighborhoods are known for their picturesque 19th century row houses and their views of the Manhattan skyline.

Here's the latest news in the possible abduction of David Sneddon. Our prayers are with his family.
A resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday directs the State Department and Intelligence Community to investigate whether North Korean government operatives abducted a BYU student who disappeared in China in 2004.
The resolution on behalf of David Sneddon was introduced by Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah.
Sneddon's family has long been doubtful of Chinese officials' explanation that he most likely drowned during a hike in the Yunnan Province in western China. His body was never recovered.

It’s beautiful, peaceful, refreshing and soothing to look at this picture. Nature should never be underestimated. God created nature filling it with vibrant colors, tantalizing waters, enduring trees; all hold a beauty that no man made treasure can give us. There is no substitute for the beauty of nature. We can look at pictures and take a deep breath imagining us in the scene but being there is all together different.
Are you ready to smell the scent of the flowers, the brush of a breeze upon your face, to take off your shoes and feel the grass between your toes, cool and lush? Do it today take some time away from ordinary life and visit a park, a creek or an undisturbed trail. Go experience nature, soak up the sun and relax in God’s timeless creation.

TALLINN, Estonia — There’s a groundswell of support in the European Union to make sure that digital U.S. giants pay more taxes on their lucrative business in Europe, French President Emmanuel Macron said Friday.
He said he already counted 19 of 28 nations in support of plans for continent-wide fiscal rules on taxing major internet companies. Ireland disagreed with the proposal and said many Nordic countries had joined it in opposition.

The issue came to a head last year when the EU ordered Ireland to collect a record 13 billion euros ($15.3 billion) in taxes from Apple Inc., arguing that it had profited from a system allowing it to escape almost all taxes the EU felt were due.
“Today the market is dysfunctional. It is not normal that companies make excessive profits and pay nothing in taxes,” Macron said, painting a situation where the giants of industry were able to profit in Europe and small startups suffered because of it.

Chatterbox, a well-known name in my era. Newer generation folks may not resonate easily with this name.
Chatterbox used to be housed in the old Mandarin Orchard Hotel and they are famous for their “atas” chicken rice, a comfort hawker dish but catered to people in the insanely Crazy Rich Asians diners back in those days.
They have just opened their doors to diners again since Mar 2022 at the new Hillton Singapore Orchard. I am sure chicken rice fans will flock to check out Chatterbox in time to come and experience the taste of the all-famous chicken rice dish.
Likewise, I am no exception either 🤣 as a natural self-acclaim foodie.
Chatterbox whips up local Asian dishes where you can easily find in any hawker centre around you. Nothing fanciful but merely a nostalgic walk down memory lane for people who are familiar and can associate with. 😊
You will immediately be greeted with the fragrant chicken rice smell while making your way to the seating area.
Other than ala-carte items, they now offer Heritage Set Meal too.
Trio of the Day comprises of beautifully crafted Ngoh Hiang, Kueh Pie Tee and a big succulent prawn.
The star of the item, (there is no price in guessing) the all awaited chicken rice. The chicken meat is well boiled and so tenderly soft with the fragrance of the rice without a doubt and coupled with their trio sauces; home-made chili sauce, ginger puree and the cannot missed out black sauce that is required to drizzle over the rice.
In the past, they used to provide free-flow rice refill but now additional bowl of rice will be charged. Having said that, you may still request for soup refill without additional charge. 😉
Not sure whether it is due to the psychological effect (expensive stuff must be good 😂) that somehow Chatterbox chicken rice seems to be super tasty though this is what you can get in any other chicken rice stall. 🤔😃
Their Signature Coconut Ice Cream that comes with double scoop of the creamy coconut ice cream, topped with crunchy chopped walnuts, medley of tropical fruits served in a coconut husk. Sinfully delicious.
You are more than welcome to go for their ala-carte items as well if set meal sounds heavy to you. 😉
Skewers of chicken or beef grilled over charcoal with onions, cucumber, ketupat and a sweet-savoury peanut sauce with pineapple puree. The meat is grilled to perfection and tenderly deliciously with the charred smell especially.
Wrapped in banana leaf and grilled over an open charcoal flame, this traditionally spicy fish cake is a marriage of mackerel, handpicked crab meat and a melange of traditional Malay spices such as lemongrass, shallots and coconut milk. A must try for seafood fans.
This crowd-pleaser is loaded with whole Boston lobster claw, quail eggs, fish cake, thick vermicelli noodles and dried beancurd served in a flavoursome coconut broth of spices and coconut milk.
Nostalgic best enjoyed over a pot of tea. An assortment of Nyonya kuehs-of-the-day, available in 4 types. It’s a must for kueh lovers. Strictly no compromise!
Do you think it is still worth your while to try this “atas” chicken rice? Well, to each its own but I firmly believe that chicken rice die-hard fans out there will surely give it a try! 👍
