Trees are living things, so that means that they can become “sick” like humans and animals can. A disease or other tree issue may take a little while to show up due to the sheer size of the tree, and once you notice a symptom, it could be too late to save the tree.
A professional arborist from CA Tree Trimming can help you diagnose and treat common tree issues so that there is a much better chance of keeping the tree. Learn about our service here. Not only can an experienced arborist keep a tree from dying, but they are also able to help trees get healthier growth and bloom more flowers or fruit.
Have you noticed a tree on your property that has always seemed healthy but all of the sudden looks like something is wrong? In the next paragraphs, we’ll explain some of the most typical tree problems and diseases and what these symptoms mean for a tree.
If you spot any of these things on any of your trees, act fast to have the best chance of saving the tree and the ones around it.
Tree Diseases & Common Problems
These 7 things are the most common problems addressed by professional arborists in California. Once you think one of these things could be wrong with your tree, contact someone with the training and tools to help!
Leaf Rust – Leaf rust is actually a fungus that is common in both trees and plants. The name originates from the yellow and brown spots this disease produces on the leaves.
Leaf rust is bad because it inhibits the leaves’ photosynthesis, the process by which it breathes. Leaf rust can be tended to with fungicides and selective tree pruning of the diseased leaves. It may be recommended to remove entire branches with leaf rust.
Witches’ Broom – This tree disease creates a large clump of twigs, dead leaves and branches that resemble a broom shape. It is caused by insects, unusually rainy weather or fungus. The formation of a clump of leaves and twigs is the tree’s reaction to infection or harm.
Some instances of Witches’ Broom are fatal for the tree, while others are just considered a growth malformation. An arborist can diagnose the issue.
Mildew – Mildew is a type of fungus that grows on almost anything in wet conditions, but even when the moist conditions are gone, mildew can continue to thrive. Mildew usually appears as a powdery substance, usually white, and it often shows up on the leaves of a tree first.
The the best method for eliminating mildew is to apply a fungicide that includes sulfur. This will remove the existing mildew and stop future mildew growth on the tree. You might also need to prune the tree to remove limbs, fruit, flowers and leaves that were affected by the mildew
Gall – Gall is a tree disease that appears when pests or rodents build small nests on the leaves or branches of a tree to lay their eggs in. Most galls are not dangerous for the tree, but none of them are attractive.
Gall appears as as bumps on the tree, in different sizes. They can be white, brown, gray or some color in between.
It is not necessary to treat the tree for galls, but they can inhibit the growth of young trees. Treat galls by killing the pests. You should also clean out from under the tree after the leaves fall off, since this is where the pests live during winter.
Other Tree Problems
Improper Pruning – There’s a science to tree trimming, as well as many types, and if you don’t know how to do it, you could harm the tree past the point of recovery. Consider the type of tree, season and other factors. Under-pruning (or not pruning at all) can be just as big of an issue. Only a trained arborist should be trusted to prune trees in order to keep them healthy.
Lack of Water – New trees can be severely impacted by drought. If you plant new trees, you will probably have to supplement the amount of water they get from rainfall. A tree that is not getting enough water can have its growth stunted. The first sign you are likely to noticed is scorched, dry leaves. Find more tips for new trees here.
Too Much Sun – Do your initial research before planting trees in a sunny area of your property. Many species of trees can handle it without issue, but too much sun can become a problem for any tree if the sun is too hot for an extended period and rainfall is light. A tree that is getting a lot of sun needs extra water to prevent wilting, drooping leaves.
Certified Arborist Services in California
A trained arborist from CA Tree Trimming will be able to quickly diagnose what’s happening with your sick tree and lay out a plan to save it.
Here is what an arborist is qualified to do:
- Inspect trees from the ground and from the limbs of the tree if possible. Getting into the canopy is typically necessary to understand exactly what is causing the symptoms.
- Treat your tree with fertilizers and additives in the dirt or products applied to the leaves. This person will have expert knowledge about the disease affecting your tree and the most effective treatments for it.
- Trim tree limbs to get rid of dead or diseased branches and to assist healthy growth. Even if heavy trimming is necessary, they will know how to remove branches so that the tree survives both the disease and the trimming.
- Remove the tree from your lawn if there is no chance to save it. The worst case is that the tree is too far gone, and removing it is the only way to protect your property and surrounding landscape.
Arborists can also educate you about the other trees that you have om your property and how to best care for them so you don’t return to the same situation again.
Many tree issues look very similar to one another, requiring an expert eye to accurately determine and treat the problem. If your trees appear to be dry, disfigured or dying, call a certified arborist from CA Tree Trimming for an inspection before it’s too late.


Hyundai has released a few images and videos of their upcoming new vehicle Ioniq 5 electric car. These photos come ahead of the four-wheelers’ virtual world premiere event which is scheduled on February 23rd. According to areport, the hatchback would be the South Korean auto giants’ first Electric Vehicle (EV) to utilise the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which is the same platform that Apple is said to be interested in for its rumoured self-driving car. The E-GMP’s flat battery and long wheelbase allows for a more spacious and customisable interior for both passenger and load.
Among the photos released – the Ioniq’s interiors’ sports a sliding center console. The company’s so called ‘Univerisal Island’ moves out of the way to allow the driver or passengers to enter and exit easily from either side of the vehicle. This feature is touted to especially help when parked in a narrow spot.
According to the carmaker, it has equipped the driver and front passenger seats with leg rests to relax while the car recharges. The seats can also be repositioned to allow adults in the front to care for pets and children seated in the rear. The company has also revealed that the Ioniq 5’s interiors shall be clad with eco-conscious materials.
Other visuals reveal that the Ioniq 5 seems to have been inspired from American competitor Tesla’s Camp Mode. The new feature effectively turns the vehicle into a rolling generator with 3.5 kW of Vehicle to Load (V2L) power. Hyundai has already tested it and it is enough to power up appliances such as a full-sized oven, five giant speakers and even a treadmill.
Among the other capabilities of the upcoming vehicle include – ultra-fast charging which allows it to drive more than 100km (62 miles) just after a five-minute charge. The company had previously claimed that its E-GMP vehicles would be capable of over 500km range (310 miles) on a single charge.

The word “safari” in the vast majority of people is associated with hot Africa and the hunt for large animals. However, this is correct, because the word “safari” is of Arab origin and its meaning is precisely “hunting”. However, recently the meaning of this word has changed and now safari is understood as quite peaceful and relatively inexpensive excursions into the wild, where you can admire predators and photograph animals in their natural habitat.
However, the epithet “relatively inexpensive” is not entirely appropriate. Not every family with children can afford a trip to African countries. And it’s not just about money. Continue reading

South-central Pennsylvania — the seven-county region that encompasses places such as Lancaster, York, Harrisburg and Carlisle — has always had an identity problem. There’s no obvious brand or anchor city to unite the region.
But let’s be honest, the same problem exists at the next level down. Everyone who lives around here knows that even getting three counties — Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin — to identify as the “Harrisburg area” or “Capital Region” is a stretch.
The question that inevitably comes up in any local conversation is “Do you live [or work] on the East Shore or West Shore?” Outsiders don’t have a clue what that means. It sounds like something straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” with its East Egg and West Egg divide. Frankly, it’s not that far off in the Harrisburg area.
The Susquehanna River serves as the dividing line between the West Shore with Cumberland and Perry Counties and the East Shore with Dauphin County. The river is only a few feet deep and a mile wide, but sometimes it feels like an ocean.
For years, people have been calling for more regional cooperation and awareness. There have been a few cooperative overtures, most notably in education and transportation. HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, successfully draws funding and students from the entire region and offers classes in numerous locations. Similarly, Capital Area Transit buses link the two shores, although there are constant calls to have more routes.
A decade ago, barriers seemed to be falling. In 2002, the “Harrisburg region” even won an award for the most outstanding community from the Pa. Chamber of Business and Industry.
But lately, the divide has worsened. A big part of it is the financial woes of Harrisburg. As it made headlines nationally and internationally for being on the verge of bankruptcy, surrounding places wanted to lean as far in the opposite direction as they could.
It’s a natural reaction, but as the city cements its plan to get back on financial footing in the coming weeks, the area also must shift its mentality.
The long-term success of all these counties is about the region, not little fiefdoms. The reality is that outsiders view the three-county region as “the Harrisburg area.” They do not differentiate. Nor is it helpful if businesses or people simply relocate from one shore to the other. That’s not a true gain.
Many organizations can help foster the regional mentality. Government leaders can meet on a more regular basis. The various local chambers of commerce and civic clubs can hold more joint events, and the popular Harrisburg Young Professionals organization can think beyond city borders.
Arts organizations can follow in the steps of the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra playing concerts not just in the city, but on both shores. Charitable groups such as the United Way of the Capital Region can remind us of the region’s needs and assets.
And all those who cross the bridges of the Susquehanna on a daily basis to go to work and attend events can help move beyond the East Shore-West Shore stereotypes.
Creating an identity for south-central Pennsylvania might be out of our reach, but here in our own backyard, we can embrace and grow the “Capital Region.”

Crop models are ideally suited to quantify existing climatic risks. However, they require historic climate data as input. While daily temperature and rainfall data are often available, the lack of observed solar radiation (Rs) data severely limits site-specific crop modelling. The objective of this study was to estimate Rs based on air temperature solar radiation models and to quantify the propagation of errors in simulated radiation on several APSIM/ORYZA crop model seasonal outputs, yield, biomass, leaf area (LAI) and total accumulated solar radiation (SRA) during the crop cycle. The accuracy of the 5 models for estimated daily solar radiation was similar, and it was not substantially different among sites. For water limited environments (no irrigation), crop model outputs yield, biomass and LAI was not sensitive for the uncertainties in radiation models studied here.

10 Ways to Eat Better Every Day
My husband used to be a big guy. I mean, a really big guy. He grew up playing football, and after he was done playing and did not need to be so big anymore, he lost over 100 pounds.
I found out a lot of this as we were getting to know each other and I always wondered how he could be so disciplined to lose all that weight, when I have trouble losing 5 to 10 pounds. REALLY, what is up with that???
The first couple of years we were dating, I would eat tons of chocolate, burgers, pizza or steaks while he would eat salads, fish and fruit for dessert. FRUIT FOR DESSERT, are you serious! What is wrong with this picture? Isn’t the guy supposed to eat more than the girl? Come on; he is over twice my size!
I knew I needed to get better about my eating habits, but I also knew I did not want to sacrifice my enjoyment of food. I just did not think there was any joy in eating salads or what would typically be considered “healthy” food. Healthy eating was boring to me and I had made it a habit to eat a certain way. So, I had to learn to break that habit.
I found out it takes discipline, but once you find some different ways to make eating right as enjoyable as eating wrong, it gets easier. There are a lot of ways to make the right choices at home and at restaurants, but here are a few of my favorite tips and examples to change how you eat for the better:
Add some variety to your salads
Salads can be pretty boring on their own, so give your taste buds reasons not to focus on the lettuce. Mix in other veggies, spices, and fruits to add textures and some kick to the boring old green stuff. I like a little crunch with some peppers, apples, and carrots. Just stay away from croutons! Another great salad trick: keep the dressing on the side. I like my salads with red wine vinegar, but if you get a more traditional dressing, just dip your fork into it every couple bites and it will do the trick for your taste buds.
Watch out for hidden sugar
Stay away from anything cream based and watch out for sugar. Things like soup and granola may seem healthy and good for your diet, but a lot of times they can be packed with tons of empty calories because they are made with heavy cream and lots of sugar.
Load up on veggies
Eat as many veggies as you like and do not be afraid to dip them in a little hummus to add some extra flavor. Veggies are great to snack on and carry with you in a plastic bag in case you get the munchies.
Water between bites
Drink water between every bite. The water will help hydrate you, fill you up, and the extra time will help your body realize it is getting full. A lot of times, hunger pangs are our body’s way of saying we are thirsty, NOT hungry.
Add lemon or lime to your food to add a little flavor (veggies/chicken/fish)…it does not just make things taste better, it makes you thirsty and keeps you drinking that water while you eat!
Spice up your meal
Spices add some kick to your dishes, and the hot ones like cayenne pepper or red paper flakes make you feel full and again, make you want to keep drinking that water.
Try eating sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. Baked or roasted, sweet potatoes will make you feel full longer and can be a nice healthy starch to add to your diet.
Plan ahead for restaurants
Do not be afraid to ask for what you want when you eat in a restaurant. Asking to make a substitution or to eliminate something you know is not good for you can keep you from feeling guilty and help you enjoy your meal that much more. If you know where you are going to eat, take a look at the menu in advance online. Make game plan for your meal and stick to it. This will keep you from making an unhealthy and impulsive decision at the table.
Small portions and snacks
Eat several smaller portion meals and snacks consistently throughout the day. This will help to keep your blood sugar level and fight off those hunger pangs.
Give yourself a cheat day!
Do not deprive yourself of your favorites, just do not overindulge. A cheat day can be a good habit to mix into your routine. It is never a bad thing to reward yourself for all your hard work. Just be careful, part of the deal is that you have to get back on track the next day.
On top of these simple adjustments to your diet, another way to adjust your eating habits is to mix in activity and movement. Sometimes taking a break from your work and walking around for a bit will prevent you from going to the fridge or binging on that candy bar. If you are still hungry after your walk, at least you earned your snack with a few calorie burning steps!
It’s amazing how just a few simple changes in what you are eating can make you feel so much better. Trust me ladies, I still have my cravings, especially when I am PMS-ing! But now I choose not to overdo it, and believe it or not, I have gotten myself to the point that when I do lose control, I lose control with something healthy!

Pennsylvania lawmakers to take first steps toward new congressional map
A key state House committee has homed in on a proposed map of Pennsylvania's new U.S. congressional districts, and could vote to advance it as early as next week.
State Rep. Seth Grove of York County said Wednesday the proposal was selected among 19 submitted by the public. Grove said the map was chosen by the State Government Committee because he deemed it to be drawn without political influence, meet constitutional standards, limit splits of townships and other municipalities and offer districts that are compact and contiguous.
It was drawn by Amanda Holt, a piano teacher and graphic artist from the Lehigh Valley whose alternative General Assembly redistricting planhelped persuade the state Supreme Court in 2012 to order the Legislative Reapportionment Commission to revise its proposal for new districts after the 2010 Census.
This year, Pennsylvania's congressional delegation is dropping from 18 to 17 because its population of about 13 million grew by 2.4% over the past decade, more slowly than many other states.
The House committee vote would be the first step in a process that is likely to result in changes to Holt's proposal, perhaps drastic changes, before a final decision is made. The new districts have to be approved by majorities in both houses of the General Assembly and get the governor's signature before taking effect.
Senate Democratic caucus spokesperson Brittany Crampsie said Wednesday that two senators, a Democrat from Philadelphia and Republican from central Pennsylvania, plan to introduce a jointly sponsored congressional map in the Senate next week, expecting votes in committee and on the Senate floor in January.
Any final product could be the subject of a court challenge, as occurred when the Democratic majority state Supreme Court in 2018 threw out what was a Republican-drawn congressional map. In a state closely divided between the major parties, Pennsylvania Republicans had enjoyed a 13-5 majority in the U.S. Congress, but during two subsequent elections the delegation has been split 9-9, and in 2020 all 18 incumbents ran and all were reelected.
If Gov. Tom Wolf and the Legislature deadlock on drawing a congressional district map, the state Supreme Court may again end up performing the task. Time is tight, with candidates and their supporters scheduled to begin circulating nominating petitions on Feb. 15 to get on the ballot. The primary is currently scheduled for May 17.
The map keeps major features of the existing districts intact, such as maintaining a Bucks County-based seat, a Lehigh Valley-based seat and two Pittsburgh-area and two Philadelphia-based seats. But it would shift the heavily Democratic city of Harrisburg into a district with GOP dominated Lancaster County — and out of a district with York now represented by Republican Rep. Scott Perry — while squeezing four districts that cover a large swath of rural northern and central Pennsylvania down to three.
Two incumbents, Pittsburgh-area Democratic U.S. Reps. Conor Lamb and Mike Doyle, are not seeking reelection in 2022.
Grove said his committee will meet to discuss the proposal Thursday evening in the state Capitol and is expected to vote on it early Monday.
The Legislature's district lines are drawn by a five-member commission whose work is continuing.

Birthday Cupcake Picks
When my son turned one I decided to make our own cupcakes because lets face it a box cake mix for 99 cents costs way less than 24 cupcakes from the bakery.
But I wanted something special to put on them to help remember my sons special day. So I started looking for cupcake picks. You know the toothpick type things with something fun on the top that you stick in the middle of a cupcake.
I never found exactly what I was looking for, nothing was quite what I was looking for not to mention what people were charging for these things. I even looked on ebay!
This is when I decided to make my own. I had already decorated cupcake/fruit stands, and made a banner out of scrapbook paper for my son's birthday so why not make my own cupcake picks out of the scrapbook paper as well.
What you need:
2 different sized circle scrapbook punches (optional because you could trace and cut your own circles by hand but it takes a bit more time, my examples are done this way but I have done them with the punches and they are much faster.)
Glue stick or glue of choice
Printer (optional because you could do something by hand like the number one my example.)
Make a word document with the message of choice you want on the picks in a small font, copy and paste the message multiple times and space out. Cut down the scrapbook paper so that is 8 1/2" by 11" so that it fits in the printer. Print out your words onto the scrapbook paper. Use your smaller circle punch and punch out your message.
With your larger circle punch punch out larger circles on a contrasting scrapbook paper. Sandwich one end of the toothpick between the two circles using the glue stick to hold the circles together. Let them dry then insert the toothpick end into your cupcakes!

estratovolcán 6233 m / 20,449 ft
El norte de Chile, Bolivia y Argentina, América del Sur, -24.19°S / -68.05°W
Current status: normal or dormant (1 out of 5)
Pular is a stratovolcano in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile, NW of the Salar de Pular and 15 km from the border with Argentina. The volcano belongs to a 12-km long chain of several vents and volcanoes, which have erupted extensive lava flows.
Typical eruption style
A large satellite vent west of the ridge is known as Cerro Pajonales and is probably the youngest vent of the volcanic complex.
Reports of a small explosive eruption in 1990 could not be confirmed as to where it occurred.

WHEN A SLIP of a lad I had a wordhoard, kept in a small silk-bound notebook, from which I plucked "opsimath" and "heteroclite" to lard my essays with, hoping to stun where I could not persuade. Reading Darconville's Cat gave me that bravado part of my adolesence back again, although Alexander Theroux's grown-up word hoard is bigger than my kiddy one ws, meant to hail the perverse foison of vocabulary in its own right (words galore where one's enough while for some things there's still no word at all), and to limn an authorial universe so seeded with prolixity as to distance character into an heraldic figment who, on the level of language, has nine lives becasue he/she can be worded in so many ways. This is a novel about people, sadness, infatuation, and betrayal, but just as much about words themselves.
Gulsar, skite, pneumatomachian, plutonial, sinople, arteriopath, struldbrug and cataphatic hit you in the first 18 pages, then Hemerobaptist, zealator, and malplasmic on 19, and behind that enough unhoarded to send you to the dictonary every 10 minutes or make you slam the book shut, wondering why Theroux needs to make so big a smoke. Do you need to know what all the farfetched words mean? I doubt it. Pastry crust, foil, distraction, legalized graffiti, novelist's doodlings, they remind you how fabricated everything verbal is -- not words only, but the fictions they sustain. Also, throguh a clever twist, the book's verbosity gives an idea of what things were like before they had names; the word we do not understand's as a foreign as a thing unnamed.
That said, I must cite the book's prolapsing charm, the suavity with which a portmanteau narratorial exercise secretes a frail tale about how a young prof's crush on a lovely but callow student heats them both into dire infatuation until she crushes him forever. Darconville, a writer who lectures on poetry at a Southern women's college, has such an active and enhancing mind he cannot see Isabel for what she is: empty, mediocre, a bell dame sans merci but also sans moxy too. At first only her fat legs bother him. After scandalizing the campus during her student years, the two of them plan to marry; but when he accepts a post at Harvard she fails to follow, two-timing him while he falls into the cluthes of a eunuch misogynist whose demonic (and funny) ravings inspire him to revenge, which flickers like hellfire behind the vapors of the lung-disease to which he finally sucumbs. Of Venetian ancestry, he goes to Venice to die, but has essentially been living out a courtly medieval dream with dirty modern props.
"This is the story of a murder," a ponderous prefatory "Explictur" tells us, but Isabel murders him by jilting him, whereas, all along, he should have been lapping up the creamy nymphomania of the senior called Hysipyle Poore who, in her uppity venal way hoovers about the novel's action, awaiting his palm upon her, her voice of the kind that Juvenal described "as having fingers" -- "a low magical level of loveliness which absorbed with a kind of absolutness any rival utterance that might have been offered against it." Look at the padding there. Why Theroux didn't do more with this tigress buring bright, I don't know, but he certainly is quick on the southern drawl, and, while mounting a virtuoso display of narrative methods, reveals in acute detail the inanity of Quinsy College, Virginia. Darconville's first lecture pits inventive obscurity against the "farm-bright" smile and the lisp of Millette Snipes. They are doing Keats. "The simple line," Darconville says, "seeks to outwit, not merely to resist, the complexity of thought it noncommittally grows out of and, by definition, filters out the ideas it must nevertheless, to be great, always raise do you see?" But the class is still reeling with Mith Thnipeth's query: "Thwoon in the thenthe of thuccumb? "We have many of us, been there already, and foresuffered all, at the same lecturn, with smirk suppressed.
Alaric Darconville, "insurrect, courteous, liturgical" and fancy reminds me of the Latin poem in which Johm Milton writes of a girl's face seen in a London Street and haunting him ever after. A writer of impenitent unquenchable, damned nearly epic cleverness, Theroux does tender analysis just as well as broad-bottomed antic, but he says Darconville's eyes had a "strange tragic beauty." and I wonder what such a cowflop of phrase is doing in a novel so hightuned. This is not the only novel of "premillennial antihomogoumena," but of wongler, wompster, gripcruppered, tittypull, and alonk. You may trip over Greek roots in in the novels undergrowth, but your ears fill wth the blunt idom of folk alive in Quinsyburg. Discuss, then (in parody of this novel's prodies), the influence of A. Theroux of any of the following: Ben Johnson, Thomas Love Peacock, Thomas Carlyle, Muriel Spark, Djuna Barnes, G. Cabrera Infante. Then decide if Theroux's novel (a) influnces him (b) thwarts (c) silences, him. Why 704 pages exactly? The B-answer to all such questions is the novel's last sentence: "Sorow is the cause of immortal conceptions."
Once again the mulit-ring circus offers itself as that mirage, the big American comic novel, wiping out all comers with 18th-century pastiche. Here and there a Jamesiam tropism spirals up into the light, like this on Southern girls: "Such is their homogeneity, in fact, that's one particular actions are always another's in potency, and so, with each a simulacrum of the next, they must all sustain in constant reflection what approving of themselves within they must hate in others without . . ." No wonder Hysiplye Poore whispers to her date, "My silk panties are too tight." So are the book's.
Yet, when the wrting isn't just the buss of a vocabularic fly in the windowpane of Babel, things come throguh as true as trim: "He had one of those faces, ellipsoidal and criket-like, which resembled one's reflection when looking closely into a shiny spoon or doorknob." Clever Mr. Theroux is clever enough to merit the epithet, Therouche, but also not to need to restrict it to flagrant fustian. "Will I have to use a dictonary to read your book?" one character asks Darconcville, who anwers "It depends on how much you have used the dictionary before you read it." What Theroux no doubt has in mind is someone who asks him if, in order to read the dictionary, they should use his book. Had Darconville lived, he would have reproduced the dictionary, word for word, without ever having had to cheat.
Oh, for Hypsiplye, that "luscious and legendary Narcissa" with "a body as smooth and soft as nainsook," who tells "lovely, spolied rich Pengwynne Custis" in the middle of a porn book read in the dorm, "Why, Pengwynne honey . . . at fourteen I could have written me a danm ol' book I'd have blushed to read."

The Book of Etta, by Meg Elison (47 North, 2017). This novel is the sequel to the Philip K. Dick Award-winning The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, but can be easily read on its own. Generations ago, a plague swept the world, killing most of the women and leaving the survivors at grave risk in childbirth. The expected chaos resulted, social disintegration, and enslavement of the few remaining fertile women.
Now various communities have evolved their own cultures with varying roles for the women, often in isolation and ignorance of one another. Etta lives in Nowhere, a fortified community in which women hold power as Mothers and Midwives. She frets against her mother’s expectations, keeps her lesbian love affair secret, and flees to the outside world under the guise of a scavenger of old technology and rescuer of enslaved women. In this role, she becomes Eddy, but the switch is not mere disguise for safety. The prose shifts to the male pronoun to emphasize the transformation in identity. As the story unfolds, it becomes more and more clear that Etta/Eddy flips back and forth from one persona to the other, and clues emerge as to the origin of the personality split. In his adventures, Eddy encounters underground havens, trading centers where transgender “horsewomen” live openly as women, and a vicious tyrant bent on conquest.
Elison weaves together elements of dystopia and hope, tense action and inner anguish, into a compelling tale of survival and self-revelation. Highly recommended, although with a caution for younger readers.

Katie Price was left fuming that her late friend Sarah Harding had been mentioned in the Wagatha Christie High Court hearing this week.
The 43-year-old model rushed to inform her followers of her unhappiness about the mention of the Girls Aloud singer who passed away in September last year after announcing she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2020.
Glamour model Katie, had been close with Sarah for some years and even had the songstress as her bridesmaid at her wedding to Peter Andre in 2005.
The mum-of-five was clearly angered that Coleen Rooney had mentioned Sarah in her witnesses statement during the libel court case this week.
Taking to Instagram to let off steam, Katie shared an article that claimed Rebekah Vardy and Sarah had fallen out in 2018 at the National Television Awards.
Katie uploaded a picture of the story along with the caption: "How dare anyone bring up Sarah".
Coleen, 36, alleged in her witness statement that Rebekah, 40, had "fell out with Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding in 2018 because she was apparently caught taking pictures of the contents of her handbag at the National Television Awards".
Football star Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen, who is being sued by Rebekah for libel, claimed in her statement: "As an aside, I am aware that Becky had attended the 2018 National Television Awards and produced and provided various pieces of 'behind the scenes' footage for The Sun."
She added: "She also got into a spat with former Girls Aloud group member Sarah Harding during the 2018 event because Sarah apparently caught Becky taking photographs of the contents of Sarah’s handbag when Sarah had dropped it on the floor.
"Their dispute subsequently appeared in The Sun."
The High Court case arose after Coleen took to social media with a lengthy statement in 2019 expressing that Rebekah's Instagram account had been responsible for selling fake stories about her.
Coleen had hatched a "sting operation" in which she made up stories and shared them on her own account.
The Liverpool- native claimed that she had blocked everyone from seeing the fake news with the exception of Rebekah's account.
At the time, Coleen penned: "I have saved and screenshotted all the original stories which clearly show just one person has viewed them.
"It's………. Rebekah Vardy's account."
Rebekah has profusely denied any involvement in sharing stories about Coleen with the press and is now suing her for damages.
The trial rages on.

This has been a pretty good year for sea otters and other marine life along the California coast.
After trying for a quarter-century to manage the otter population, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is letting go of its relocation program, thus allowing the playful but ravenous critters to roam the bays and inlets along the California coastline.
Actually, the feds abandoning the otter relocation program really means they’ll go back to their habits and habitats, mostly from Monterey Bay to the border with Mexico. Otters seem to prefer Southern California, as do many humans.
Good news for the otter, however, is not such good news for fishermen, especial sea urchin divers, who insist that the otters decimate the shellfish population. They’re right about that dynamic, but unfortunately for them, otters were fishing these waters eons before human divers came around.
The otter population is far from what it once was. By the time federal agencies began their attempt to relocate otters in an effort to save the species, the count had dropped from an estimated high of more than 16,000 in the late 18th century to less than 3,000. The dramatic depopulation was mostly a result of hunting during the early 19th century, in search of the otters’ luxurious fur.
This was a good year for otters, to be sure, but it looks like some fishermen will have to find a new way to earn a living.
And 2012 has also been a thumbs-up month for California’s marine reserve network, as the final piece of the underwater puzzle fell into place earlier this month in waters off the northern coast.
What that means is that nearly 900 square miles of coastal waters are now protected, from the Oregon state line to the border with Mexico. And like the feds’ decision to let the otters roam, the marine reserve has not been a popular movement for a lot of folks who make their living from the sea.
In the 12 years since various state and federal agencies have been working to patch together a continuous reserve area, bureaucrats have had to endure being cussed out, shouted at, targeted by death threats and confronted by angry mobs of mostly recreational and commercial fishermen who don’t seem to understand that they’re not being prevented from plying their hobby, passion or trade, just that they can’t do it in certain areas.
California’s Marine Life Protection Act of 1999 is modeled after similar reserves on dry land, and with the same goal, to give animals a haven in which they have to fear neither bullets nor bait.
There is ample evidence throughout human history that indiscriminate taking of wildlife can and does lead to killing off entire species. If, however, mankind offers some refuge for those species, they tend to prosper. In so far as hunting and fishing go, protecting a species is just common sense.
In fact, the notion of a marine sanctuary was suggested by an avid fisherman, who watched over the years as fish he once caught off the islands in the Santa Barbara Channel slowly disappeared because of overfishing in certain spots.
The logic behind marine reserves is solid — protected fish grow to full size, then roam out to, perhaps, be caught in non-reserve zones. In that context, the reserve areas should be considered greenhouses for both recreational and commercial fishing.
A lot of fishermen didn’t agree with that logic. Thankfully, their voices were overwhelmed by pragmatists, as well as environmentalists, who see the value of animal species protection.

What is sugar?
This may take you back to your high school chemistry class, however, here we go.
Sugar is the smallest type of carbohydrate which is absorbed rapidly by the body, and easily digested.
Further, sugars are found in most foods, and come in two different forms.
The first are called monosaccharides which are a single molecule sugar and are easily and quickly absorbed into the blood stream.
The second are called disaccharides which consist of two molecules of sugar, which when entered into the body are broken down into single sugars.
- Sucrose which combines glucose and fructose, and is commonly referred to as table sugar
- Lactose which combines glucose and galactose, and is commonly referred to as milk sugar
- Maltose which is 2 molecules of glucose, and is commonly referred to as malt sugar
Taking it one step further, sugars are then categorized into naturally occurring sugars and added sugars.
Naturally occurring sugars are those which are found in more nutrient rich type foods and as the name implies, are formed directly from the foods they are associated with.
A few examples of foods containing naturally occurring sugars include:
- Dairy products
- 100% Fruit juice
- 100%Vegetable juice
Added sugars, on the other hand, are generally processed and found in foods which are void of nutrients and are generally very high in calories.
A few examples of foods containing added sugars include:
- Sugar sweetened beveridges such as soda pop, non 100% fruit drinks, and sweetened tea & coffee
- Sweets like candy, jams, and syrups
- Baking such as cookies, cakes, and muffins
- Cereals sweetened with sugar

Are Naturally Occurring Sugars Better For You Than Added Sugars?
This is a debate which has been going on for many years, and the answer is “Yes, with some qualification”.
This may sound a bit vague, however, there is no, one right answer.
Like anything ingested into the body, any sugar should be taken in moderation.
Although disputed by many in the health and nutrition field, the US Dietary Guidelines state that no more than 10 percent of our daily calories from added sugars.
Many feel it should be far less.
Fructose is the naturally occurring sugar derived from most fruits and vegetables, which provides sweetness.
In its natural form, it is housed in fiber, which slows the absorption and release process by the liver, meaning that energy will be delivered over a long period of time.
Alternatively, when the fructose is removed, processed, and added back as a sweetener, the fiber component is gone meaning that it is absorbed very quickly by the liver, giving rise to an energy burst.
For this reason, eating a piece of fruit in the morning will provide sustained energy until lunch time, while a muffin or Danish pastry will provide a quick energy spike followed by a period of sluggishness.
Most foods high in naturally occurring sugars also include other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients which are beneficial to the body.
While foods high in added sugars generally are void of nutrients and have a high level of empty calories which are stored as fat.
At the end of the day, sugars are important to the body as a source of energy.
Unless you are on a highly restricted medical diet such as those who are diabetics, it is virtually impossible to avoid foods without added sugars.
That being said, the general rule of thumb is to limit the amount of foods which contain added sugars and replace with foods which contain naturally occurring sugars.
A simple starting point is to satisfy cravings for sweets with a piece of fruit, be it in the morning, or as a snack in the afternoon or before bedtime.
What does sugar free mean?
Under the US Food And Drug Administration Guidelines, a food product must contain less that 0.5 grams of sugar in order for it to be labelled “sugar free”.
Protein powders fall into this category.
When you read some of the comments below, made by customers who have used the sugar free protein powders on our list, you will see that some found the taste to be too sweet.
This is because many protein powder manufacturers use sweetening agents or sugar substitutes which are often sweeter than sugar.
The Food And Drug Administration has approved six of these agents which include aspartame, neotame, acesulfame potassium, stevia, saccharin and sucralose.
These do not add any calories and as a result, many people consume products containing these additives as a means of reducing calories.
The drawback is that many of these sugar substitutes alter the sugar receptors and can make nutritious foods taste less sweet and bland.
The net result can be a loss in interest of good food and in turn a craving for the less nutritious food flavored with artificial sweeteners.
Below is our list of 5 Best Sugar Free Protein Powders in 2018, which was a very challenging task to complete.
There are a multitude of quality sugar free protein powders on the market, however, we chose products which had absolutely no sugar as opposed to following the US FDA guidelines of less that .5 grams.

Is the PKM belt fed?
The PK (Russian: Пулемёт Калашникова, transliterated as Pulemyot Kalashnikova, or “Kalashnikov’s machine gun”), is a belt-fed general-purpose machine gun, chambered for the 7.62×54mmR rimmed cartridge. The PKM was designed to replace the SGM and RP-46 machine guns that were previously in Soviet service.
What does PKM stand for?
|PKM||Product Knowledge Management|
|PKM||Please Kill Me|
|PKM||Perigee Kick Motor|
|PKM||Patrol Killer Medium (type of naval battle ship)|
Why is PKM so light?
However, the PKM features a gas regulator to adjust the amount of gas being tapped off from the barrel to drive the action. The PKM also shines in how lightweight it is. While the AK was lighter than the FN FAL and G3 rifles that came out around the same time it did, the American M16 was far lighter than the AK.
What is the difference between PKM and PKP?
Unlike the PKM, the PKP is easier to control during fully automatic fire, though it’s still advisable to only fire in bursts of 4-5 rounds unless the operator is already prone. Its only drawback is that it weighs slightly more than the PKM, which makes it less useful in close quarters.
Is the PKM reliable?
While the PKM fires a powerful cartridge and is reliable, it has some deficiencies. The round it fires (7.62×54 mmR), while powerful, is not the same round used by the rifles of the other members of a typical squad….General purpose machine gun.
|Country of origin||Soviet Union|
|Range of effective fire||800 m|
What gun does China use?
|Type 95 Automatic Rifle QBZ-95 Light Rifle Family|
|Type||Bullpup assault rifle|
|Place of origin||China|
Is PKM meta?
Despite the Bruen becoming the default meta weapon in Warzone right now, the PKM actually beats it in a number of key areas, including aim down sight speed, recoil, and damage per second.
Why is PKM so good?
The PKM is one of the only good LMGs in Warzone thanks to its high damage per shot, predictable recoil, and performance over long ranges – not to mention its potential 200-round magazine upgrade.
What kind of round does a PKM machine gun fire?
In addition, the PKM is capable of sustained fire of the hard-hitting 7.62×54 mmR round that packs a punch out to long ranges. The PKM is a gas-operated, air cooled, belt fed machine gun that fires from an open bolt. Its chrome-lined barrel can be quickly detached by means of the carrying handle.
Is the PKM still used in the military?
A durable and powerful General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), the PKM is widely used nearly 50 years after it entered service. Its improved variants are still produced today.
What’s the difference between a PKB and a PKMB?
PKMB: improved version of the PKB (PK adpated for use as a pintle-mounted machine gun on aircraft and helicopters). The main difference between the PKM and the PKMB is the swivel in the middle of the weapon; in addition, some PKBs have spade-style grips instead of traditional pistol grips and stocks.
Which is the most powerful PK machine gun?
The PKM is the most important and numerous variant of the PK. A durable and powerful General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), the PKM is widely used

Background and purpose: The purpose of this work was to assess intertechnique and interobserver reproducibility of 64-row multisection CT angiography (CTA) used to detect and evaluate intracranial aneurysms.
Materials and methods: From October 2005 to November 2006, 54 consecutive patients with nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) underwent both CTA and digital substraction angiography (DSA). Four radiologists independently reviewed CT images, and 2 other radiologists reviewed DSA images. Aneurysm diameter (D), neck width (N), and the presence of a branch arising from the sac were assessed.
Results: DSA revealed 67 aneurysms in 48 patients and no aneurysm in 6 patients. Mean sensitivity and specificity of CTA for the detection of intracranial aneurysms were, respectively, 94% and 90.2%. For aneurysms less than 3 mm, CTA had a mean sensitivity of 70.4%. Intertechnique and interobserver agreements were good for the detection of aneurysms (mean kappa = 0.673 and 0.732, respectively) and for the measurement of their necks (mean kappa = 0.753 and 0.779, respectively). Intertechnique and interobserver agreements were excellent for the measurement of aneurysm diameters (mean kappa = 0.847 and 0.876, respectively). In addition, CTA was accurate in determining the N/D ratio of aneurysms and adjacent arterial branches. However, the N/D ratio was overestimated by all of the readers at CTA.
Conclusion: Sixty-four-row multisection CTA is an imaging method with a good interobserver reproducibility and a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection and the morphologic evaluation of ruptured intracranial aneurysms. It may be used as an alternative to DSA as a first-intention imaging technique in patients with SAH.

Bill from Rep. Darin LaHood could help offset cost of Peoria CSO fixes
PEORIA — Peoria, and other cities with combined sewer overflow problems, could get a bigger slice of federal funding to help fix those issues under legislation introduced Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood.
The Peoria Republican, partnering with Massachusetts Rep. Lori Trahan, a Democrat, is calling for an expansion of a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency program that gives federal grants to communities trying to address those issues.
"It's been frustrating to watch it unfold," LaHood said by phone from Capitol Hill about first the EPA's mandate that Peoria fix its combined sewer overflow problem and then of the costs city leaders have had to pass along to property owners to fund those fixes.
That burden fell disproportionately on business owners, he said, given their larger properties and greater amounts of impermeable space for which they are charged a fee by the city that funds the implementation of a green solution for the overflows.
"This legislation will not only help ease the financial burden placed on communities like Peoria who are working to solve CSO issues, but it will also open up more avenues to resources and cost-sharing opportunities as projects move forward,” Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis said in a prepared statement. “I applaud Rep. LaHood and Rep. Trahan on their bipartisan approach to help communities like Peoria who are working to navigate solutions to improve CSO systems while keeping the local taxpayer in mind.”
LaHood said they've started to sign on co-sponsors to the Stop Sewage Overflow Act, with an aim of being geographically diverse and bipartisan, and hope to have a committee hearing set on the measure soon.
Lowell, Mass., through which the Merrimack and Concord rivers flow, has similar issues, LaHood said. When he and Trahan discussed the measure, they agreed it was a natural fit for both communities.
"If it's enacted into law, I think Peoria will benefit from the grant process," he said.
The measure would both increase to $500 million the annual pool of money available for grants to communities implementing solutions and extend the program through 2030. It would prioritize communities that have more sewage overflows.

Whitfield County law enforcement authorities have confirmed that Adolph “Sonny” Neal, suspected of killing his wife and her grandfather last week, has been spotted in Varnell, Ga.
A 911 dispatcher told the Times Free Press that Neal, who goes by Sonny, was seen near the intersection of Highway 2 and Highway 201.
Whitfield County Sheriff's Capt. Rick Swiney said a motorist spotted a man wearing a red shirt and jeans who looked like Neal and called authorities. An intensive search is under way. Officers are searching cars one by one and a helicopter is doing an airborne search.
Neal was identified as a suspect hours after his 9-year-old daughter found her great-grandfather, Don Shedd, dead in the kitchen of their Dawnville, Ga., home on May 24. Police also found the girl’s 27-year-old mother, Jessica Neal, dead in the home’s pool house.
Shedd and Jessica Neal were buried today.

If Uganda has to intervene to help distressed companies, it must be driven by the desire to avoid contagion. The failure of some of the distressed companies can lead to the failure of banks with worse consequences than the costs of a bailout.
Secondly, an economy is a circular flow of income: one person’s expenditure is another person’s income. Distressed companies must have suppliers who depend on them for business. If they go under, this may impact the ability of their suppliers to service their own loans as well.
In Uganda’s case, it may be advisable to work with the central bank to relax prudential rules, based on a government guarantee. The aim would be to help commercial banks and their customers to restructure loans in a more comprehensive way than is right now allowed by the Financial Institutions Act. The loan maturity period could be lengthened and interest costs reduced. This will keep commercial banks’ balance sheets healthy without taking away the responsibility and pressure on them to collect the debt and the risk of failing to do so.
Companies that are facing a short-term liquidity squeeze due to factors such as conflict in South Sudan, delayed payment from government, price volatility, customers who have failed to pay, low sales, termination of business contracts, breakdown of key equipment, fraud and poor management can restructure, improve themselves and pay back. Those that are uncompetitive or undisciplined will go under. That is why government should not cherry pick whom to help and whom not to. Any government committee mandated to set criteria for a bailout will become a theatre of influence peddling and corruption leading to acrimony and political contestation.
The problem facing banks right now, as stated by Uganda’s leading tycoon and owner of Crane Bank, Sudir Ruparelia, is that half of Kampala is on sale. If banks offload all collateral on the market, there will be a collapse of the real estate market. This is in large part because those in the best position to buy real estate are also the ones who are distressed. Those that are not distressed are still hedging their bets and are unlikely to put their money into brick and motor given the prevailing economic uncertainty.
I agree real estate prices in (especially) Kampala have been overpriced and there is need to let them come down to reflect actual fundamentals of the economy.
But it would be disastrous to let the housing market collapse totally. This could easily infect practically everyone because real estate is the main collateral banks use to lend. Its collapse will force banks to revalue their collateral and ask borrowers to find more security or recall the loans, a factor that will cause many more loans to go bad.
Relaxing a strict enforcement of prudential rules by the central bank means that government will not spend any taxpayer money on the bailout. It also means that neither the lenders nor the borrowers have been let off the hook – they will only have been given a short (one to two years) breather. But it has potential to help healthy companies restructure and survive while the weak ones collapse and go out of business. It will also help the central bank dissuade commercial banks from their exaggerated interest rates. The ball is in the central bank’s court.
