Adding to that ambition is today's SEMA Show unveiling of the new 2019 Ford GT Carbon Series. That has a standard base dry weight of 3,054 pounds. Those wheels help save weight, as do titanium lug nuts, a titanium exhaust system, and a thinner, vented polycarbonate engine cover that is shared with the Competition Series.
To better draw attention to its featherweight form, the GT is said to feature "more visible carbon fibre than any previous model".
The exterior boasts two exposed carbon fibre stripes with matching A-pillars, lower body panels and gloss carbon fibre wheels.
Grams have also been saved by removing the GT's cupholders and driver's side seat storage bin.
Sri Lanka vs England, 2018: Only T20I - Statistical Highlights
The first test will be all the more crucial as Sri Lanka will be looking to a winning send-off to their legend, Rangana Hearth. Adil Rashid's figures of 3/11 in this game are the second best bowling figures by an England spinner in a T20I game.
Unlike the Competition Series, though, the Carbon Series comes standard with a radio and air conditioning.
As per Ford, carbon fiber was used on the gloss wheels of the vehicle, the lower body panels, interior sills, air register pods, and center console. Buyers can choose between four optional accent colours (silver, orange, red or blue), which appear on the centre stripe, wing mirror caps, and brake calipers. They will also get a unique seat pattern with silver stitching, a look also found on the steering wheel, paddle shifters, and a unique badge for the instrument panel. While the Ford GT Competition model appeals to hardcore racing enthusiasts, we found more customers asking for more exposed carbon fiber with the air conditioning and radio still intact.
It's hard to imagine you'd find the regular Ford GT to lack performance, but for those customers who do want some extra punch, there's now the Carbon Series.
Buyers who have already been approved for a Ford GT can order the vehicle now.


📰 Noteworthy stories for today #14
Icebergs on the move, Forrest Fenn's treasure is found & The Donut King comes full circle.
Another week another tier, hopefully some of these stories will peak your curiosity.
The world’s largest iceberg is on the move, I’ve seen bits and pieces on the story but Nat Geo have a great write up on it. The iceberg, catchily named A68 broke off from the Antarctic peninsula in 2017 and has been making a slow and steady path towards the South Georgia Island which if you’re not familiar, as I wasn’t, is East of Argentina and The Falklands and is sanctuary to an entire Antarctic ecosystem. Above are visuals that show the scale of this journey and its impact.
I’ve followed the story of Forrest Fenn’s treasure for years now every since reading about it in Huck magazine. A modern day treasure hunt using only the clues of a single poem written inside an impossible to find autobiography from an army pilot and antiques dealer that spanned a decade and a handful of deaths of people searching for the chest. Last week Outside released an article with the man who finally solved the riddle and why he’s still keeping the location a secret.
When filmmaker Alice Gu noticed that many Donut shops were Cambodian she starting pulling at the thread and was lead to one man - Ted Ngoy - who in 1975 fled his home for America with nothing and became not only the largest owner of Donut shops in California but probably the largest sponsor of other Cambodians fleeing the war. And then he lost it all.

Manitoba Métis Federation
I'd like to introduce myself. My love of beadwork and making dreamcatchers started when I was 15 years old when I was attending an alternate school for troubled teens. The school had a First Nations woman come to work with us and teach us various Indigenous crafts.
I discovered I was very creative in graphing my designs and I found the loom beaded very enjoyable and it gave me a sense of accomplishment when I was finished a peice. I have been loom beading ever since. Everyone has a story that shapes who they are. This is part of my story. I believe everything happens for a reason. I was in and out of foster care as a young child and was made a permanent ward when I was 13. I was placed with a wonderful woman who believed in healing through culture. She helped me to discover and learn my Indigenous culture, which I attribute to my being saved. She gave me my first spirit name, Little Crow, which is a name I will carry with me my whole life. I walk the Red Road and have my whole life. I am also very grateful to The Creator, The Universe, Grandmother's and Grandfather's, my Ancestors for the gift of creativity. I am Dakota, Cree, Anishinaabe, Huron Wendat on my mother's side, Polish on my Dad's side and I am a member of Manitoba Mètis Federation. My identity is Indigenous as I have lived a traditional Indigenous lifestyle most of my life. I reside on the traditional unceded territory of Chawathil First Nation with my husband and 6 children. My husband is Stó:Lõ and Nlaka’pamux. All of my beadwork is designed by me. I can make custom order lanyards, hat bands, bracelets, neck chokers, headbands, hair barrettes etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

Mark Dantonio and the Michigan State Spartans have much to celebrate after Saturday night. After all, with an offense that gained a whopping 252 yards, was 2-14 on 3rd down, and went 3-&-out 8 times who wouldn’t be jumping up and down? That combined with 5 turnovers from the Michigan Wolverines and a rainstorm for the ages was all it took to take down the mighty Maize and Blue on Saturday night.
Spartan Nation has this to say: The Best Start Here. The irony of a football program trying to dig itself out of the shadow of their rivals from Ann Arbor trolling the famous “Those Who Stay Will Be Champions” slogan aside – Dantonio has all the right moves when it comes to beating Michigan. Check out the Paul Bunyan trophy locker room celebration below.

Manchester United central defender Phil Jones is expected to be out for at least three weeks after suffering from a mild case of thrombosis. United released a statement on Twitter on Saturday regarding the 23-year-old Englishman.
Phil Jones, who was not involved in today's matchday squad, has mild thrombosis and will be out for a minimum of three weeks. #mufc
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 8, 2015
Jones missed United’s 1-0 Premier League opening day victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. He did take part in United preseason tour in the United States during July, playing in all four preseason friendlies, and had been training in Manchester earlier in the week leading up to the game.
Thrombosis is clotting of the blood in a part of the circulatory system. Depending on the severity of the thrombosis, it can take a long time before Jones is back in action, but the club deemed it to be a mild case.
If Jones is out for three weeks, he will miss five games for United, including the home and away meeting with Club Brugge in the Champions League playoff qualifiers. He will miss games against Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Swansea City in the Premier League.
He could also miss out on being selected to the England squad for the European Championship Qualifying games against San Marino and Switzerland in early September. Jones has 17 caps for the English national team. Jones has been in the starting lineup in his last seven caps for England.
Chris Smalling and Daley Blind were the central defensive pairing for United in the game against Tottenham on opening day. Jones has played 128 games for United in all competitions since coming over from Blackburn Rovers in 2011.

Kolkata: West Bengal is the gateway to the North-Eastern states, eastern counterparts and the South-East Asian nations of Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar. Easy access to other destinations such as Singapore and Hong Kong should make it an attractive destination for investments, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said here on Friday.
Making a fervent pitch for industry at the Bengal Global Business Summit, the Chief Minister said the State has been clocking a growth rate higher than that of the country.
The state had recorded industrial growth of 8.34 per cent (as against the national average of 5.6 per cent) in 2014-15, she said during the inaugural session of the summit.
Bengal has clocked a growth rate of 200 per cent in revenue generation in the four years of the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress government.
At least 67.35 lakh jobs have been created in the four years of the TMC’s rule.
“All these figures show why Bengal is the State to invest in the coming days,” Banerjee said adding that land availability is not a problem here. The State has at least “100,000 crore acres” at its disposal across the various State government departments.
She said the construction of the first deep-sea port in Bengal would start soon. The estimated Rs. 42,000-crore project will be kicked off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi shortly.
“Our Prime Minister will be here shortly to kick off construction of the deep-sea port,” she said at the inaugural session of the summit.
She also announced all possible help to industry captains and a waiver of Value Added Tax (VAT) on manufacture of solar energy equipments /components in the State.
Addressing the inaugural session Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Centre would continue with the policy of enhanced public spending for physical and social infrastructure. “Beginning last year we have stepped up investment in infrastructure. We will continue with that as it brings immediate results,” he said.
Tata Steel Managing Director T. V. Narendran, speaking at the business summit on Thursday, made a strong pitch for higher public spending in the infrastructure sector as the way to create demand for the steel sector.
Among others participating in the annual investment summit are Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Reliance Industries Chairman, Mukesh Ambani.

When i'm turning there's a loud noise. I'm not really sure how to explain it. It's not really a grinding noise but more like a loud groan. I'm checking the power steering fluid as soon as I get off work. But could it be the pump? It's also hard to steer some mornings when I first start it. Kind of like the power steering is going out for a fraction of a second and coming back on. It steers jerkidly in the mornings. Thanks for any help
have the same problem?

To the Editor:
Christmas is once again approaching. People are scurrying around buying presents and wishing “glad tidings of comfort and joy” to everyone.
They are giving to the bell ringers and their favorite charities.
It is in this setting, once again, that they get the opportunity to feel good about themselves and others.
They run around full of Christmas cheer and spirit for one another.
Too bad these feelings of good cheer are not evident all year long.
These Christians look forward to celebrating the birth of a homeless brown-skinned child and family.
Parents wandering around on a dark and frigid night to give birth in a stable and the child being laid in a bed of hay.
Christians love this story. When, however, it comes to immigrants seeking shelter and asylum from violence and mayhem, feelings of good will and glad tidings of comfort and joy are not extended to these wandering souls.
There are people who cry out for a border wall to keep out those seeking safety and security.
However, they already have a wall — a wall built around their own hearts.
They adore the homeless brown child lying in the hay but accept the tear gassing of the children at the border.
We all should reread the Sermon on the Mount and the meaning of the Beatitudes.
Love has no borders.

“All I want to do is fall apart/In the arms of someone entirely strange to me,” sings Cassandra Jenkins on Crosshairs, one of the many fine moments on An Overview on Phenomenal Nature.
During the aforementioned song, the New York artist parts with another pearl of wisdom, “What is it you’re looking for/In the looking glass.”
It’s the kind of statement many of us have probably been thinking at some point during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For a lot of us, where there has been more time to burn than usual, rumination and life-editing have been prevalent facets during lockdown and if anything, Jenkins captures this like no other on An Overview on Phenomenal Nature.
With the help of producer, Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, Muzz, and Craig Finn whom Jenkins has also played alongside), her songwriting truly evolves, crystallising a drifter-like persona with sparkling snapshots of everyday life, experiencing change and how to deal with these circumstances.
“Nothing ever really disappears,” said Jenkins in the lead-up to the album release. “It just changes shape.”
She is a world builder in her own right. The type of songwriter that could make going to the corner shop for a pint of milk and a loaf of bread sound cataclysmic.
The story unravels with Michelangelo – a breezy folk number that fizzes with warm tones and elegant strings.
New Bikini follows with lush snaking brass and a prickly rhythm section that sits behind Jenkins’ storytelling of otherworldly escapism. “The water cures everything,” she whispers in a story that the likes of Finn has told over the years. However, Jenkins weaves her yarns with a fragile tenderness. They unfurl slowly, like gentle waves lapping up to shore.
Which leads into album highlight, Hard Drive. Not many songs will touch this in 2021. A spacious, feverish spoken-word tale that Kaufman has captured beautifully to tape alongside Jenkins who delivers it with grandeur. “In this life/The mind is just a hard drive”.
It creates the kind of image where one looks out to the sun-kissed ocean completely losing themselves in it. Both in lyric and sound Hard Drive is so dynamic that Jenkins probably won’t write another song as good. And that’s okay.
We go back to Norway on the ambient chamber-pop dalliance of Ambiguous Norway – a gorgeous hush tone of soft saxophones and subtle twangy guitars.
The closing instrumental in The Ramble is a meditative sun-dappled post-life sprawl with saxophones that drift from the speakers and pinprick the air. A song shimmering in cinematic value bringing the curtain down on a memorable journey.
So far removed from Jenkins‘ previous album, Play Till You Win, Kaufman‘s mastery from behind the studio glass has unlocked a new world for her to explore and thrive in.
It’s not just a nice record. By possessing a spiritual depth far beyond the surface, An Overview on Phenomenal Nature will speak to many and not the few.
Along with The Weather Station’s Ignorance, the pair of albums subconsciously operate as brilliant back-to-back companion piece for the listener. Vital, forward-thinking slabs of new music that have the ability to crossover and reach a wider audience.
On the back of An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, Cassandra Jenkins will be an artist that will get the tongues wagging not just for the remainder of 2021, but beyond, too.
An Overview on Phenomenal Nature is out now via Ba Da Bing! Purchase from Bandcamp.

Don't mess with Texas. In fact, just don't even move there.
An ominous and contentious billboard greeted Los Angeles and San Francisco residents this week with a strong warning: "Don't move to Texas."
"The Texas Miracle died in Uvalde. Don't move to Texas," the billboard reads, paired next to a dark, eerie image of a hooded man wearing sunglasses and the famous Texas catchphrase, "Don't mess with Texas," crossed out in red.
"The Texas Miracle" is a term coined by then-Texas Gov. Rick Perry in 2011 following his claim that the state's economy managed to survive the country's Great Recession. "Don't mess with Texas" was coined by the Texas Department of Transportation as an anti-littering campaign, but has become a popular and prideful slogan for residents of the Lone Star State.
A photo of the billboard was uploaded to Reddit on Thursday, with many commenters in the various California and Texas subreddit threads questioning who was behind the billboard and what message the advertiser is trying to send.
While the billboard shows no obvious political affiliation or sponsor, some Redditors speculated that the billboard is trying to send a message, possibly coming from strongly conservative Texans who are trying to stop the proliferation of liberal Californians moving to Texas, especially with the looming gubernatorial elections in November. Others speculate that the billboard came from Californians who are attempting to slow the mass exodus of residents packing up and leaving for Texas.
The Los Angeles billboard is located at the intersection of Barham and Cahuenga boulevards, overlooking the 101 Freeway. The San Francisco billboard, located near the intersection of Folsom Street and 7th Street, is leased to advertisers by FoxPoint Media, a billboard advertising company based out of Chicago.
A request for comment from FoxPoint Media was not immediately answered.
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, along with the Texas Relocation Bureau, Texas ranked second in the nation for relocations, with the highest number of new residents coming from California and Florida, respectively. California ranked first for the number of residents moving out of state.
Some Redditors expressed anger over the use of the Uvalde school shooting tragedy — which claimed the lives of 22 people, including 19 children, in May. One Redditor called the billboard "vile," and another said it was "Pretty f—king disgusting."
The long-standing turf war between Texas and California has been perpetuated by California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, with Newsom running full-page ads earlier this year criticizing the conservative governor in three of the state's largest newspapers, including the Houston Chronicle, El Paso Times and Austin-American Statesman.

Government are not doing enough on Carbon Reduction
- Published on Tuesday, 27 November 2012 12:14
- Posted by Scott Buckler
As The U.N. climate change conference in Doha, Qatar (COP 18) takes place this week Govtoday has found that 82% of people charged with managing carbon reduction within Local Authorities and Universities believe the Government are not doing enough to reduce carbon emissions
60% of those surveyed believed a binding emission target would help boost an ailing economy.
The survey carried out by Govtoday also asked a wide range of energy managers, environment managers and heads of Estates at both Local authorities and Universities how much their organisation spends annually on Carbon Reduction Initiatives. Over 50% of those surveyed said they spent less than £10,000 of their annual budgets per year on carbon reduction, with 21% saying they spent more than £250,000 per annum.
The findings come on the eve of what many believe is a make or break time for climate change agreements. After a disappointing conference 12 months ago in Durban, quickly followed by further economic uncertainties, many countries have placed Climate Change at the bottom of their priorities. Tropical storm Sandy went some way to re-opening the eyes of many sceptics, even prompting Republican Mayor Bloomberg to offer his endorsement to Barack Obama following his attempts at reducing carbon consumption. However, in the UK many of those at the forefront of carbon reduction are less confident with only 18% believing the Government are doing a good job of managing carbon consumption.
Scott Buckler, Editor at Govtoday commented on the findings saying; " We have seen a real frustration amongst our audience who feel let down by the Government's attempts to manage carbon consumption. We have also seen a decline in spending on carbon reduction initiatives, over half of those surveyed admitted to spending less than £10k per annum. Surprisingly we have seen an increase in spending from Universities with many spending over £1 million per annum."

One implication of this more nuanced view is that since deflation is not always harmful, policymakers need not always assume the worst and automatically ease monetary policy at the first sign of deflationary pressures.
The idea that there is a relationship between aggregate supply-driven deflation and macroeconomic stability begins with the observation that shocks to productivity or factor input growth imply changes in per unit costs of production and, given competitive pressures, changes in the relationship between input and output prices.
Here, monetary authorities offset the benign deflation depicted earlier by shifting the AD curve from [AD.
The interest rate response to positive aggregate supply shocks also plays an important role in the relationship between the benign form of deflation and macroeconomic stability.
This understanding of the relationship between aggregate supply-driven deflation and macroeconomic stability suggests that, given its short-run real effects, monetary policy should not err on the side of inflation, but should allow the price level to fall in response to innovations in productivity or factor input growth.
They were concerned, for the reasons discussed above, that in their attempt to offset benign deflation monetary authorities were generating excessive borrowing, an unsustainable boom in asset prices, and an unsound stimulus to global aggregate demand.
Since this housing boom has now turned into a housing bust that has created what the IMF (2008b: 4) is calling the "largest financial shock since the Great Depression" to hit global financial markets, those observers who expressed concern back in 2004 based on the more nuanced view of deflation now appear to be almost prophetic.
l1] We estimate that the wealth shock caused by n 1 percent price deflation leads to a 0.
We now are in a position to take stock of the net effect on output of the price deflation that occurred during the Great Depression.
There is a further difficulty with the argument that price deflation was the source of the economic decline.
We calculate the total decline in output that would be associated with a deflation that was expected to last forever and then annualize that decline over the number of years it would take to reduce the capital stock to its new, lower level, assuming that net investment cannot be zero.
Deflation can cause output to decline, but to what extent?

Couple shares story of daughter’s death due to a drunk driver
Jack Winkler said, “Even though it happened 9 years and 5 months ago, it feels like it happened yesterday.”
Mary Lou Winkler said, “It’s lonely. I miss her. There’s not a day that goes by I don’t think about her. I look at her friends and her friends are married and out of college and she had all of these hopes and dreams that are never going to work. I found in a drawer the names of the children that she was going to have someday and when I look at my grandchildren and I think that her’s aren’t going to be here it’s really heart wrenching.”
The Winklers said Rebecca was driving on Central Avenue Pike early that morning when she was hit head-on by a Jeep Liberty. Investigators told the parents Rebecca’s vehicle skidded 64 feet while spinning and the Jeep Liberty flipped upside down. The driver of the Jeep Liberty had bruises and scratches. Rebecca was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center where she died later that morning.
Jack Winkler said, “The guy who hit her was 47 years old and it was his 10th visit at a DUI lawyer Houston.”
They did get justice for their daughter, but what’s lost is lost. Getting justice will not bring their daughter back. Still wondering Are DUI Lawyers Worth It? Just know this, that someday it could be your family behind the wheel.
Since their daughter’s death, the couple has been working with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) sharing Rebecca’s story, in hopes of preventing others from getting behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol or illegal / legal drugs.
Jack Winkler said, “The penalty, no matter how long or short it is, never brings back your child.”
MADD is hosing a candlelight Vigil to remember those who have been a victim of drunk driving on December 6, 2014 at 6:00 PM at Oak Ridge Baptist Church (1451 Bethel Valley Road, Oak Ridge, TN 37830). MADD is asking participants to bring a picture of their loved one who was a victim of drunk driving.

A gun cleaning snake works by using a flexible shank with attached bristles to clean the barrel of a gun. It is inserted into the barrel and then pulled through, removing dirt, debris, and residue in the process.
The bristles help to scrub away fouling, ensuring a clean and well-maintained gun. Gun cleaning snakes are a popular choice among gun owners due to their convenience and effectiveness. They are compact and easy to carry, making them ideal for use in the field or at the range.
The flexibility of the shank allows the snake to navigate the twists and turns of the barrel, reaching all areas that might accumulate buildup. Regular cleaning with a gun cleaning snake helps to maintain the accuracy and lifespan of the firearm, ensuring reliable performance.
Understanding The Gun Cleaning Snake

By JUDITH GRAHAM, NY Times
This article points out the difficulty in financing long term care for the elderly. Experts believe more focus should be on finding ways to provide affordable care within the efforts to reform Medicare and Medicaid. For now, families continue to bear the brunt of the cost associated with caring for the elderly.
The federal Long-Term Care Commission published its full report on Wednesday, but it did little to change the perception that substantial relief for caregivers will be a long time coming.
The commission had endorsed a package of 28 recommendations late last week, prior to the release of the full report. Among other measures, the recommendations call for recognizing caregivers as members of “care teams,” including information about caregivers in patient records, assessing caregivers’ need for support, and making services like respite care more widely available.
But this group of 15 experts couldn’t agree on how to pay for long-term care services needed by frail older adults or people with disabilities. The full report doesn’t change that.
Currently, only those who are impoverished and qualify for Medicaid get significant assistance from the government for long-term care. For the most part, middle-class families are left to bear the burdensome expenses: $18 an hour on average for homemaker services, $19 an hour for home healthcare aids, $3,405 a month for assisted living, $230 a day for a private nursing home room, according to the latest report from Genworth Financial.
How to ease this financial burden was the most important issue facing the commission. In the end, the report proposed two alternatives: some kind of government insurance program for long-term care, or some kind of private insurance option. Then commission members essentially threw up their hands, admitting they couldn’t agree.
When my colleague Paula Span wrote about the commission earlier this year, she asked whether its work would elicit a yawn or a cheer. For many, the answer is neither. Even some commission members feel a sharp sense of frustration and disappointment.
One is Judy Feder, a professor of public policy at Georgetown University, who voted against the commission’s final recommendations on the grounds that they didn’t fulfill Congress’s charge to come up with a comprehensive solution. I asked her about a statement from six of her fellow commissioners insisting that any new long-term care program not enlarge public budgets.
“The current system has a budgetary implication,” Dr. Feder said. “It sticks it to families.”
Another disappointed member is Judith Stein, executive director of the Center for Medicare Advocacy. “The vision in the majority report is not much more than we have now,” she said. “It is, ‘Plan, understand, think about savings and insurance, and provide for those who are impoverished.’ That kind of approach doesn’t meet our long-term care needs now, and it won’t meet them in the future.”
While several of the commission’s recommendations are welcome, they will make a difference only “around the margins,” Ms. Stein said.
Families will bear the consequences, said Ms. Stein and other experts. Elderly spouses will continue to struggle to care for each other, and adult children will strain to balance jobs and the needs of frail parents and their own children. Untold numbers of aging Americans won’t get enough care, and caregivers will suffer from stress and depression, endangering their own health.
If a public insurance program is unaffordable, as several commission members claimed, might the private market supply a solution to the aging population’s need for affordable long-term care? That seems unlikely. Premiums for private long-term care insurance have been rising dramatically, policies are becoming more restrictive, insurers have been exiting the market, and bureaucratic red tape makes it difficult for many individual and families to receive expected benefits.
Financially, the only way to make private insurance work is to spread risk over a wide base of policy holders. But the cost of long-term care coverage makes it unlikely that millions of healthy people will purchase policies. This was the economic calculus that doomed the Class Act, the voluntary long-term care insurance program that was originally part of the Affordable Care Act.
Is there a way forward? The long-term care commission recommended two options: convening a White House conference on aging to consider long-term care policies, and establishing yet another advisory committee to continue its work. But, said Dr. Joanne Lynn, a geriatrician who directs the Center for Elder Care and Advanced Illness at the Altarum Institute, “The administration has shown no interest in having that happen, and here we are on the cusp of the largest generation in history growing old.”
She believes that it’s a mistake to separate long-term care from broader reforms of Medicare and the health care delivery system. The two systems of caring for people with disabilities and older adults need to be much more tightly integrated, Dr. Lynn said. Savings from eliminating inappropriate medical care — by some estimates, as much as one-third of all care — could be used to finance the expansion of long-term care services, she suggested.
As for another commission, is there any reason to hope it will be more successful in tackling critical issues when advocates of smaller government are committed to standing against a new federal insurance program for long-term care that might rely, at least in part, on public financing?
“I think this will be a hard discussion, but it is one that we as a country will have to grapple with,” said Dr. Bruce Chernof, the commission’s chairman and president of the SCAN Foundation in California. He sees the seeds of a potential compromise embedded in the commission’s report. The two primary financing options considered by the commission share “some commonalities,” he said, including agreement on the need for strong public programs and a role for the private sector.
“If you look carefully at these two perspectives, you can begin to see a way forward.”

Blueberry bush wilting
I have four blueberry bushes. All of them are currently suffering from sunburn (browning of the leaves), but one of them may be suffering from something else as well. The tips of several canes are wilting and dying. This has always been my healthiest and best producing bush, so I'm very concerned. The berries on all my bushes this year are shriveled, and I assume this is because of the heat, although this hasn't happened to this degree in the past, so I'm attaching a picture of the berries as well, just in case it's relevant.
Josephine County Oregon
The symptoms you describe, leaf burn, wilting, and wrinkled fruit, sound like drought stress.
The OSU publication Growing Blueberries in Your Home Garden https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/sites/catalog/files/project/pdf/ec1304.pdf
describes how much water blueberries need: (Mature) plants need from 1.5 to 3 inches of water a week. Irrigate to supplement rainfall as needed. Irrigate frequently enough to prevent the soil from becoming too dry.
Considering how hot it has been lately, and our lack of rainfall, you may need more than 3 inches, but avoid overwatering. Check the soil frequently. It also recommends maintaining 6 inches of mulch around the bushes, which will help keep the soil moist.
This Michigan State Extension article has pictures and descriptions that can confirm that your bushes are suffering from drought. https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/drought_symptoms_in_blueberries
I have no idea how this translates to inches per week, though.Can you help me out? 24 gallons a week per bush sounds like a lot and I don't want to overwater them but, apparently, I haven't been giving them enough.
Thank you for your help!
To find out how long it takes to put an inch of water on your blueberry bushes take a shallow, at least one inch deep container and put it under a dripper. Measure how long it takes to put an inch of water in it. That can guide you in putting 3 inches of water on your bushes in one week. If it takes an hour to fill one inch, then you know to run it over the course of a week for 3 hours.
Also you need to check your drippers frequently as they can become plugged and put out little to no water. Checking if the soil is damp can tell you if the dripper is working.
Bubblers can be useful for large shrubs, such as blueberry bushes, as described in this publication Drip Irrigation for Home Gardens https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/yard-garden/drip-irrigation-home-gardens-4-702/
Using a tuna fish can to measure how much water overhead sprinklers are putting on different areas of your lawn and garden is a common method. Apparently you don't think that would work on dripper output, You do know that the water the blueberry bushes are getting is inadequate. So all I can suggest is increasing the watering time with the system you have now in the hopes of stopping the symptoms of drought.
Thanks for using Ask an Expert.

The Struggle over the Egyptian Public Sphere
The popular uprising against the regime of Hosni Mubarak in January 2011 opened the public sphere to various groups and movements. Following the military intervention in July 2013, the struggle against the Muslim Brotherhood has allowed the government to take a number of measures aiming at regaining state control over the public sphere. To achieve this aim, the regime has issued a number of laws and decisions targeting different actors. To fully describe the on-going campaign to restrict Egypt's public space, this paper focus on three main actors involved in the struggle: civil society, universities, and religious organisations. Altogether, it shows the new legal framework that grants the courts and security services power to restrict civil society's activity.

Went for a walk with the kids around our block the other day and captured these images. Now it is too snowy and cold outside. I will scout the location once again later tomorrow to see if there are any other opportunities. Hope you enjoy these!
I once saw an image of Maroon Bells, where the entire scene was red in color, due to sunrise. After I saw that shot, I have been dreaming of taking a similar (or better) picture. During our last trip, we went to the spot twice with Sergey. We woke up at 5 AM the first morning in Glenwood Springs and arrived to Aspen at 5:50 AM, right before the sunrise. We were amazed to see hundreds of photographers lined up with their tripods, hoping to get a good picture of the place. We waited and waited and the sun never showed up on the mountains, since it was a cloudy day and it wouldn’t want to clear up for our shots. Even when some sky opened up for a few minutes, the clouds would again take over the whole sky, leaving no opportunities for good photographers. Here is a shot from the first day:
So many pictures, so little time. I will post some more pics tomorrow.
This is the last part of the Yellowstone trip log that I called “Family Fun”. I know my wife has a different opinion about family fun, as not every day we spent there was fun – being constantly afraid of bears (she had read too much about Grizzly attacks before we left), getting bitten by some weird flies/mosquitoes that would leave a really big bloody hole on the skin, sleeping and freezing at subzero temperatures at night and fasting on top of that, wasn’t very easy. But having lived in Colorado, where the weather could change several times a day, we quickly got used and adjusted to the new conditions. The only tough part was that our campsite didn’t have any hot water and driving for an hour to wash our dishes or to get a shower wasn’t very practical either. Nevertheless, despite all challenges and problems, we managed to survive and had a lot of fun!
I snapped this picture right before we crossed the border from Colorado to Wyoming:
Omar had a blast!
I’ll be honest, this part of the Yellowstone tour is probably the most boring one, as I simply do not have any good pictures. I know, it is a shame and it really sucks that I couldn’t capture anything good after coming back from Yellowstone, where wildlife is abundant and all over the place.
Ultimately, I wanted to capture nice images of wolves, black and grizzly bears, foxes, coyotes, various birds (eagles, hawks, owls, etc) and so on and so forth. I’m not sure if it was the hot weather, too many people or just bad luck, but we just didn’t see much wildlife at all. Sure there were deer, elk, bison and some mountain birds…but I have seen them all in Colorado and I can capture them close right here pretty much any time of the year. I read various booklets, asked rangers and other people and still was not able to see anything special.
Let’s start with raptors. Basically, raptors are abundant and can be found everywhere in the park. If you drive along the lakes and rivers, you will most definitely spot Ospreys and Bald Eagles. Ospreys are everywhere and I saw at least 10 of them, whereas Bald Eagles are somewhat rare (only saw a couple).
Haven’t had much time to go through the images…we’ve been busy shooting all kinds of stuff lately (more to come). Anyway, below are some images of nature that I picked from our trip to Yellowstone.
This first image is from the Grand Teton National Park, which was our initial destination before Yellowstone. The funny thing is, it is called “Grand Tetons” because of the French explorers, that dubbed the peaks “Les Trois Tetons”, which literally means “The Three Breasts” :)
The water in the below photo was taken during our short hike to Hidden Falls at Jenny Lake. There was too much contrast in the falls and my pictures didn’t come out as good, so I decided to post the running river below instead (which is not that great either). Unfortunately, I didn’t bring a tripod or a camera bag with me, so the best I could do was to put the camera on a rock, set ISO to the lowest number, set minimum aperture of f/22, aperture priority and shoot away. Well, I’ll know better next time :)
This is part two of our trip log to Yellowstone. Probably some of the biggest miracles of Yellowstone are hot springs and geysers that can be found across the park. Different bacteria creates different color textures around hot springs and geysers, bringing lots of contrast and vivid color into the scene. As temperatures change, colors start changing, too, making Yellowstone a truly unique and magical place to be in at different times of the year.
The first image is a hot spring called “Dragon’s Mouth”, which looks like a cave with steam coming out of it. Check out this video on Youtube of Dragon’s Mouth.
Yellowstone is full of beautiful textures – I probably have several hundred images of various textures that I captured at various Yellowstone locations. The most beautiful textures, obviously, are in or near hot springs on the western side of the park.

Technically, this safety question will exist for any large spaceship in space. With the Enterprise, the gravity wheel pods, and all sections of the ship, will be air-sealed from each other. So if there is a problem in one section of the ship, it can be sealed off from the rest of the ship. So the ship is like a large submarine. Its compartments can be sealed off, and a large self-sufficient crew goes off on missions in an isolated ship for months at a time. And on the Enterprise triple redundancy in all systems makes sure that there is never a complete loss of a critical system.
yeah of course of all those but its better safe then sorry to plan out for all case scenarios.
