The increases are to be fully implemented within five years.
Under the 1998-99 budget, tuition for county residents will remain steady, but there is a $9 per credit hour increase for out-of-county students and a $15 per credit hour increase for out-of-state residents.
While in-county tuition will remain at about $1,050 per semester, out-of-county tuition will increase from about $1,500 to about $1,635 per semester and out-of-state rates will jump from about $1,980 to $2,205 per semester.
The estimations are based on a 15 credit-hour semester.
Shea said the state law is designed to make up for the large number of out-of-state and out-of-county students who do not pay local or state taxes. About 600 of HJC's 3,000 students come from Pennsylvania.
Shea said he believes out-of-state residents should pay more "but not three times more."
HJC officials hope that the General Assembly this session will pass legislation that would allow the school to control its tuition.
Although enrollment is up at the college, HJC officials are worried the rate increases required by the state could hurt enrollment in coming years.
The budget, which would require a $200,000 increase from the Washington County Commissioners, also includes a 3 percent salary increase for all college employees.
Shea gave the Board of Trustees an overview of the school Tuesday, showing the significant growth the school has witnessed. In the last decade, the budget has grown from $5 million to $13.6 million and capital improvements have totaled $34 million.
"It's important we remember the distance this college has come," Shea said.

Is there a Covid-19 treatment that can treat critically ill, hospitalized patients, on the one hand, and protect healthcare workers on the other? Passive immune therapy has the potential to do both—immediately, and with major improvements over time. Broadly speaking, it involves giving antibodies, in this case specific to Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV-2, to people who need them.
The first stage is sera from convalescents. The second is purified antibody fractions that are safer and more potent, but also achievable—hopefully by summer. The third is monoclonal antibodies, which will take more time but is already on the fast track. Each approach mobilizes antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in unique ways, with varying degrees of safety, speed, and efficacy—and all three must be explored.

Lo (left) handing over the P’ Residence project’s OP to Ahmad (second left) during the ceremony.
KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) presented the occupational permit (OP) for completed projects at P’Residence in Batu Kawa here yesterday.
MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang personally handed over the OP to the project’s developer Tenaga Stabil Sdn Bhd of Tenaga Seri Wangsa Group.
Lo, who is also Batu Kitang assemblyman, described the event as historic, saying it was the first time an MPP chairman had done such a thing as he wanted to show gratitude for a job well done by the developer in his area. The event also marked the opening ceremony for ‘The Clubhouse’ of P’ Residence.
“For MPP, the more people living in the area spells more revenue for the council. They have also done a tremendous job in developing this area too,” added Lo. He was representing Local Government Minister Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian at the event. Also present during the ceremony was project chairman Dato Ahmad Ibrahim.
About 70 per cent of P’ Residence project’s Blocks 4, 5 and 6 have been sold. The project was estimated for completion by next year.
“We are ready with two brand new show homes Zenfort and Euroneo style ready for viewing from Jan 20 to 22,” said Tenaga Seri Wangsa Group in a press statement.
It added that prospective homebuyers are welcome to drop by as there will be a special Chinese New Year offer. However limited units are available.
P’ Residence which comprises seven to nine-storey blocks, comes with facilities such as swimming pool, jacuzzi, sky garden, barbecue area, library, coffee lounge, kindergarten, nursery, children’s playground, basketball court, double-storey resident clubhouse facility, security-guarded house with 24-hour CCTV, ‘Touch & Go’ security key card controlled entrance, appointed gas delivery agent and Astro installer, 800-metre landscaped park and 800-metre jogging paths.
It is situated next to 24-hour Emart Hypermarket within walking distance to Borneo’s largest bowling centre as well as the commercial project D’ Public Square, an attractive location within existing Batu Kawah New Township.
It is one of the biggest self-contained community projects in town developed by Tenaga Stabil Sdn Bhd to bring the people of Kuching a modern resort living environment with a variety of lifestyle facilities.

Everybody has heard of the APT, yet very few people actually know what they can do to protect themselves. Below is a list of The Top 5 Things you can do to reduce the success of an APT attack:
1) Analyze Incoming Email:
a. Pay extra attention to FREE webmail providers like yahoo, gmail, etc.
b. Attachments that contain embedded exploits to vulnerable software and/or .exe's w/ a modified icon
c. Links directly to executables, compressed executables (i.e. .zip containing an exe) and web pages attempting to exploit your browser.
2) Analyze Outbound Connections:
a. Many HTTP Get requests for long filenames
b. Many HTTP Post requests (careful not to trip on all that streaming media traffic)
c. Anomalies on any other outbound protocol you allow outbound
3) Ingress Filter:
a. Make sure all traffic enters the network through YOUR Mail/DNS servers.
b. This makes #1 Easier
4) Egress Filter:
a. Protocol enforcement (i.e. port 80 = HTTP ONLY)
b. This makes #2 Easier
5) User Awareness Training:
a. Condition your users to be skeptical and to avoid clicking on things from people they do not know and/or are not expecting.
b. Setup a deterrence program by punishing those that do not think before they click.
The above list is meant to be generic, but hopefully it gives you a place to start or focus on. As always your feedback is welcome...

Comic-Con 2014 is now a thing of the past, but has laid out plenty of excitement for the future. One thing specifically is the countdown to Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s Batman:Earth One Volume 2. Last week before heading to San Diego, the author tweeted out to Batfans everywhere that he’ll be giving us a sneak peek into the book.
Sticking to his word, he also released a few sketches early.
The book has been on DC’s schedule since March, when CO-Publisher Dan Didio told Comic Book Resources that the company will keep its focus on the “Earth One” graphic novels in the years to come.
“I think it’s very important, because it allows us to tell stories with our primary characters at a different style and pace than we normally do in the periodicals,” DiDio explained, stressing that these books were highly important to the creative teams’ work with DC. “They’re going in with that knowledge, so they’re able to pace themselves properly, and understand that this is what their primary focus is going to be. “
I loved “Volume 1” and simply cannot wait until the new book comes out, which is expected in 2015. I think to skip the monthlies and do one long story, once a year would be such a great way to create a new world based on decades-old characters. I just hope we don’t have to wait three years for Volume 3.

The prime minister is widely expected to give the go-ahead after his cabinet met Tuesday to make a final call on the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver that would add 590,000 barrels of daily shipping capacity, a 15% boost to Western Canada’s current 4 million.
“The major pipeline companies have an open mind about an East Coast pipeline but only if there’s a clear shot at getting it done. They can’t do it with regulatory uncertainty that killed Energy East in 2017.”
Many Indigenous supporters were at the latest energy rally in Calgary to express support for First Nation groups that are proposing to take an equity stake in the planned Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.
Organizers estimate 4,000 people, many wearing black T-shirts reading “The world needs more Canadian energy,” came for the event which featured a bluegrass band, free hot dogs and admission to the annual Global Petroleum Show trade show.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is on a cross-country tour, stopping in Charlottetown recently with the message that Island taxpayers are paying for the fact that Canadian oil is sold for less than its full value due to a lack of pipeline capacity.
Canada has achieved the impossible in energy economics: Our consumers pay sky-high costs and our energy companies get rock-bottom prices.

It’s not often we get a announcement involving a U.S. Congressman. Nice to see them doing something positive involving comics.
Nearly sixty years after Estes Kefauver and Fredric Wertham held up comic books for condemnation by the 1954 Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency — leading to the adoption of the restrictive Comics Code and the collapse of respected publisher EC Comics — a new chapter is being written in the US government’s understanding of comics.
Yesterday in a Judiciary Committee hearing on the Voting Rights Act, committee chairman Senator Patrick Leahy held up a copy of March: Book One, the new graphic novel co-written by Congressman John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, with art by Nate Powell, thanking him for writing the book and stating, “it will be seen by all five of my grandchildren.”
Congressman Lewis was testifying before the committee about his experience as a civil rights activist in the 1960s, including leading the 1965 Selma-Montgomery March for voting rights, during which Alabama state troopers violently attacked peaceful demonstrators on Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge, on a day known as “Bloody Sunday.” That attack, reported in media worldwide and movingly depicted in the opening pages of March: Book One, helped hasten passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. The Act was subsequently renewed multiple times, most recently in 2006, again with nearly unanimous support from Congress. Then, three weeks ago, the Supreme Court struck down significant portions of the Act as unconstitutional.
Now, as Congressman Lewis recently told U-T San Diego, “The court’s decision makes it clear that March is needed by young people – and not-so-young people – to understand the importance of the Voting Rights Act. The book dramatizes what people went through to be able to register and vote.”
In a separate statement, Senator Leahy elaborated: “John Lewis was a leader of the march across the Pettus Bridge, and John Lewis himself is a bridge. He has helped link new generations of Americans to the story of the struggle to make America’s promise more of a living reality.” Senator Leahy, a co-author of the 2006 VRA renewal, continued: “To me, and to millions of others, John Lewis is a personal hero — for our time, and for all time. He has lived and he has led the long struggle for justice and equality that includes the Voting Rights Act and other pillars of civil rights law.”
This show of support for Congressman Lewis’ graphic novel comes as he prepares to visit San DIego for the industry’s biggest weekend: Comic-Con International. He will speak about the book on Saturday at 10:00 AM with co-creators Aydin and Powell, followed by signings throughout Saturday and Sunday hosted by their publisher, Top Shelf Productions.
Following this special Comic-Con advance launch, March: Book One will be released in stores everywhere on August 13th — also the date when Congressman Lewis will discuss the book on Comedy Central’s late-night smash The Colbert Report.
Senator Leahy’s support joins the previously announced endorsement from President Bill Clinton (featured on the back cover of March: Book One), as well as overwhelming acclaim from industry journals Booklist (“dazzling”), Publishers Weekly (“superbly told history”), Library Journal (“Lewis’s remarkable life has been skillfully translated into graphics”), and Kirkus Reviews (“a powerful tale of courage and principle”). A teacher’s guide for grades 6-12 is also available from the publisher.

Quick, devastating canola eaters
Cutworms are a real problem in canola production. If you’re not paying close attention to your fields, they can devastate a big portion of your crop in a matter of days. What makes cutworms so difficult to detect is that they normally live underground during the day and emerge to feed at night.
The five most economically important cutworm species to scout for in Western Canada are: redbacked, pale western, darksided, army and dingy. Tell-tale signs of cutworm feeding can include notches to complete removal of foliage, plants that are wilted, tipped over or clipped and bare patches in the field.
What causes heavy flea beetle feeding?
Hot, dry conditions coupled with poor canola seedling emergence can create a perfect storm for flea beetle feeding. And if you’re not paying close enough attention to your fields, striped and crucifer flea beetles can devastate your crop in a matter of days.
Even on cool, windier days, flea beetles will move from the leaves down to the stems and keep feeding. This creates even bigger issues for your canola stand, as a few well-placed bites can cut off a whole cotyledon or stem.
Which flea beetles are eating your canola?
There are two types of flea beetles to watch for this season: crucifer and striped. Striped flea beetles emerge earlier in the spring and are a greater threat to earlier-seeded canola. The Canola Council warns that striped flea beetles are more tolerant to standard insecticide seed treatments and are quickly gaining territory across the west.
Lumiderm™ is a leap forward in cutworm control and flea beetle protection
A solid foundation at seeding helps you grow a better canola crop for a bigger harvest.
Lumiderm™ insecticide seed treatment helps protect your early season canola stands as part of an integrated pest management system. With Lumiderm™ on the seed, you can expect up to 35 days’ control of cutworm, as well as enhanced protection from striped and crucifer flea beetle feeding through the most critical stages of seedling growth.
Get a look at the Lumiderm™ difference in seedling vigour and biomass
Canola seed treated with Lumiderm™ helps you gain the upper hand over cutworms and flea beetles. This enhanced level of protection allows your canola crop to thrive – especially during the first few weeks of seedling growth – which leads to a healthier, larger and more vigourous plant stand.
To prove our point, we went into canola fields across the prairies and pulled seedlings with the standard insecticide seed treatment – and plants with Lumiderm™. Check out the difference for yourself!

DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF EST-SSR MARKER FOR THE GENETIC DIVERSITY AMONG TOBACCOS (Nicotiana tabacum L.)
© 2015 C. Cai1, *, Y. Yang2, *, L. Cheng1, C. Tong3, J. Feng1

Because of the advantages of EST-SSR markers, it has been employed as powerful markers for genetic diversity analysis, comparative mapping and phylogenetic studies. In this study, a total of 429,869 tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) ESTs were downloaded from the public databases, which offers an opportunity to identify SSRs in ESTs by data mining, and 38,165 SSRs were identified from 379,967 uni-ESTs with the frequency of one SSR per 5.52 kb. Mono- and tri-nucleotide repeat motifs were the dominant repeat types, accounting for 40.53 and 34.51% of all SSRs, respectively. After eliminating mononucleotide-containing sequences, 86 pairs of primers were designed to amplify in four tobacco accessions. Only 15 primers (17.44%) showed polymorphism, and then they were further used to assess genetic diversity of 20 tobacco accessions. Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average dendrograms (UPGMA) and principal coordinates analysis plots (PCA) revealed genetic differentiation between N. rustica and N. tabacum, and between oriental tobacco and other accessions of N. tabacum. The present study reported the development of EST-SSR markers in tobacco by exploiting EST databases, and confirmed the effective way to develop markers. These EST-SSRs can serve in studies on cultivar identification, genetic diversity analysis, and genetics in tobacco.
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a natural allopolyploid (2n = 48) between ancestors of the diploid species Nicotiana sylvestris (2n = 24) and Nicotiana to-mentosiformis (2n = 24) [1, 2], which formed up to six million years ago. Tobacco is one of the important economic crops in the world, and cultivated in more than 100 countries. Around 1,900 accessions of N. tabacum are maintained at the ex-situ U.S. Nicotiana Germplasm Collection , and classified into flue-cured, burley, oriental, cigar, dark (air/sun cured), and primitive tobacco on the basis of the method of curing and biochemical characteristics. Burley tobaccos are believed to derive from a mutation identified in a strain of maryland tobacco, and flue-cured tobaccos are closely related to dark fire-cured tobaccos . However, the high morphological similarity and low genetic differentiation are observed in tobacco, which limit the development of new tobacco cultivars. One of the major limitations to the application of genomic technology in tobacco improvement is the paucity of informative DNA markers. Therefore, it is important to develop efficient molecular marker for genetic researches in N. tabacum.
* These authors contributed equally to this work.
Molecular marker technology has been used to research genetic polymorphism in many crop species in genomic level [5, 6]. Several kinds of molecular markers have been developed, such as RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA), AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism), ISSR (Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats), SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) and EST-SSR (Expressed Sequence Tag-derived SSR markers). RAPD and AFLP molecular markers had been applied to analyze genetic diversity and relationship among different cultivars in tobacco, and reveal relatively low level of genetic diversity among tobacco accessions [7, 8]. Interestingly, they were useful for detecting chromatin introgressed from wild relatives [4, 9, 10]. These two markers have their own advantages in the genetic variation analysis, however, RAPD shows poor consistency and low reproducibili-ty [11, 12], and the AFLP system requires multiple steps with high pseudopolymorphism . These disadvantages limit their application in-depth in plant genetic research.
SSRs, including genomic SSRs and EST-SSRs, are the preferred type of molecular marker. It has many advantages over other markers, such as codominance, high levels of polymorphism, high reproducibility, and
abundant distribution throughout genomes. SSR markers have been widely applied in plant genetic research [13, 14]. At present, limited study that used SSR molecular marker in tobacco has been reported. A total of637 pairs of SSR primers (genomic SSR) had been developed on basis of large-scale genomic sequencing for tobacco, and 282 polymorphic primers were used to construct genetic linkage map in this species . Moon et al. (2009) selected 71 pairs of SSR primers to detect changes in genetic diversity of American flue-cured tobacco germplasm over seven decades of cultivar development, and found a gradual reduction in genetic diversity for flue-cured tobacco . Using 49 SSR markers, the genetic diversity and relationship of 312 worldwide tobacco accessions were assessed, and a tobacco core collection with 89 accessions was constructed .
Recently, with the development of the tobacco cDNA sequencing projects, a large number of tobacco EST sequences have been published, which provides an excellent opportunity to develop large-scale EST-SSR markers in tobacco. The development of EST-SSRs in silico by mining of EST databases is time-saving and high efficient. Moreover, EST-SSRs possess two intrinsic advantages over genomic SSRs. First, EST-SSRs are more transferable across taxonomic boundaries because of the conserved DNA sequences in expressed regions of genome. Second, EST-SSRs are distributed in transcribed sequence and may be related with the function potential genes [18, 19]. To date, EST-SSRs have been employed as powerful genetic markers for genetic mapping, genetic diversity analysis, and phylogenetic studies. However, no study has been reported on the mining of EST-SSRs in tobacco .
In this study, we developed a set of EST-SSR markers based on EST sequences of tobacco and further assessed the genetic diversity and relatedness among 20 tobacco accessions using EST-SSR markers available. Results reported here will be valuable resources for further breeding and improvement of varieties in tobacco.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Plant material and DNA isolation
Four burley tobacco accessions, Va1050 with white color, Va1050 with red color, Burley37 with white color and Burley37 with red color, were used for primers screening. A set of 20 tobacco accessions including 18 of N. tabacum and 2 of N. rustica were selected to detect genetic polymorphism and assessment of EST-SSR effectiveness in tobacco (Table 1). The 18 N. tabacum are 2 oriental tobaccos, 2 cigar tobaccos, 5 burley tobaccos, 3 flue-cured tobaccos, 3 sun-cured tobaccos, and 3 maryland tobaccos. All accessions were collected from the Lab of Tobacco Research Institute of Hubei Province. Young leaves from each ma-

Data mining and primer design
A total of 429,869 tobacco EST sequences were downloaded from the GenBank database (NCBI, http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/, 12 May 2013). Firstly, the short (<100 bp) and long (>700 bp) EST sequences were removed using a perl script, Est-timmer.pl (http:// pgrc.ipk-gatersleben.de/misa/). And then, these EST sequences were assembled through the software CD-HIT (http://weizhong-lab.ucsd.edu/cd-hit/), of which the parameter setting was that overlapped sequences was more than 14 nucleotides and the similarity was more than 98%. Finally, MISA software (http:// pgrc.ipk-gatersleben.de/misa/) was used to analyze and detect SSR loci, which repeat unit size and minimum number of repeats were set as 1/10, 2/6, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 and 6/5 for mononucleotide, dinucleotide, trinucleotide, tetranucleotide, pentanucleotide, and hexanucleotide, and the maximum insertion of non-repeat nucleotides was 100 bp.
EST-SSR primers were designed using the Primer Premier 5.0 with the following parameters: the optimal primer length = 20 bp (range = 18—25 bp), the

Can Political Dynamics Cause Thailand and Malaysia to Fall into the Middle-Income Trap?
January 15, 2014
Despite the troubling political unrest and protests that continue to unfold across Asia in 2014, the New Year actually looks good for the region’s economies. Asia continues as one of the world’s fastest growing regions, projected to experience 5.25 percent growth in 2014, with emerging Asia expected to grow at an even higher pace of over 6 percent, according to the IMF. As my team and I blogged last week, these rosy projections certainly give reason for optimism. However, such optimism must be coupled with caution, as some of Asia’s greatest economic success stories face the very real threat of falling into the dreaded “middle-income trap.”
The middle-income trap (MIT) concept refers to the risk of a country that has experienced rapid growth based on low-wage, unskilled labor, low-added value manufacturing, and heavy reliance on exports, stagnating at the middle-income level and failing to graduate to upper-income status. The implications that could result from this economic growth slowdown in middle-income countries are of serious concern to economists and political decision-makers.
To shed light on the situation, The Asia Foundation just launched a new report in Bangkok that examines the underlying political and economic dynamics that may keep two middle-income countries – Thailand and Malaysia – from making the reforms needed to advance their countries to upper-income status. Rather than relying on technical economic analysis only, the two case studies in the report look at the political barriers to continued rapid development that may hamper Malaysia’s and Thailand’s rise to the same level of success enjoyed by the “Asian Tiger” economies.
Key points from the Malaysia case study include:
- Malaysia’s impressive poverty reduction and growth record was interrupted by the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. More recent annual growth rates of around 5 percent remain respectable by international comparison but may fail to translate into real economic progress if not accompanied by political and institutional change.
- Despite a raft of bold policy initiatives and long-term plans, Malaysia is struggling to address identified challenges that prevent or delay the shift to high income status, including lack of innovation, low investment in technology, declining standards in education, high labor costs, and stagnant productivity.
- Leaders have ensured political stability in the country by safeguarding the interests of the country’s majority, as well as those interests of the minority. However, insufficient checks and balances have led to increasing concentration of power within the executive, persistence in patronage politics, and opaque governance practices.
- As in Thailand, Malaysia has successfully reduced absolute poverty but income inequality and relative poverty remain high, and real wages low.
- Behind the economic challenges lies the larger overarching problem of weak governance that has compromised the implementation of sound economic policies.
- Despite some recent positive policy innovation, reform measures continue to focus on the symptoms alone. Reform efforts have been contested vigorously by strong pressure groups that benefit from maintaining the status quo.
- Lesson: Reforms and policy action must promote more inclusive and less discriminatory economic growth, equality of opportunity, electoral and government transparency, further decentralization, and the strengthening of independent institutions.
- Export-led development strategies based on cheap labor, exploitation of natural resources, and relatively low-technology foreign direct investment brought about impressive growth performance during the 1980s and early 1990s.
- Increased per capita income obscures the fact that many households are struggling to make ends meet.
- Other problems include a wide range of environmental and social concerns as well as ongoing political instability.
- An increasingly strong evidence base suggests that persistent inequalities limit growth and contribute to political unrest.
- Public expenditure in education and other sectors has long been disproportionately skewed toward the capital city, Bangkok.
- Education is identified as a key driver of growth and of increasing importance for middle-income countries. Data show that quality matters more than quantity and that increased public expenditure is not a guarantee of higher educational quality.
- Technical recommendations for increasing productivity and tackling barriers to more inclusive economic growth have repeatedly been made, but are only partially acted upon. The principal obstacle to their adoption is the persistence of entrenched and vested interests at national and local levels.
- Whether successive Thai governments were elected democratically or came to power by other means, they have been founded on oligarchic politics. Overlapping power centers contest for dominance.
- There has been little interest from any major political actors in institutional reforms to support a more sustainable, just, and democratic society.
- Lesson: Priority measures to address these problems include increased accountability and further promotion of decentralization, democratization, and civil society activism in order to create the space for necessary reforms.
Possible solutions to avoid the middle-income trap, particularly the technical ones, are topics frequently debated with great enthusiasm among researchers, academics, governments, and the international community alike. We hope that this report calls attention to the political realities underscoring the reforms that are needed for Asian economies like Thailand and Malaysia to avoid what need not be inevitable.

At Home on Ladybug Farm
I picked this book up to read as I thought it would be fun while we were having a new and special wood floor put in our house. I was not disappointed. I loved the first book in this series called A Year on Ladybug Farm but this book was even better!
We are back on Ladybug Farm one year after the life changing decision was made to make this move. Cici, Bridget and Lindsay are still restoring the 100 year old house and farm. But this household is growing. Cici's daughter has left college and moved in. She wants to make a contribution to the farm and continue life there instead of going back to college. Lindsay has taken on fostering Noah who was camping out in the folly on the farm. He is now a part of the household and living in the house. Noah is not used to sticking around and family life. Throw in a pet deer, a flock of sheep with a possessed sheepdog and the hilarious housekeeper Ida Mae to make life on this farm always surprising and fun to read about.
This time we are able to glimpse into the story of the past on Blackwell Farm which was the original name of the farm. This past is becoming slowly visible during renovations. The discoveries are becoming better as they go along. And yes...I am being a little cryptic as I do not want to give anything away. If you love books about homes, history and family-village life, you will not be disappointed by this book. Be sure to read the first book before starting on this one though.
I am going to be ordering the third book now and am looking forward to my next visit to the farm!

Garlic is a common ingredient in many cuisines, from Asian to Italian and more. But, with its many proposed health benefits, many mothers wonder if they can safely eat garlic while breastfeeding.
Overall, garlic is safe to eat when breastfeeding. While it may change the taste of your breast milk or potentially cause gas in your baby, this is different for every baby. Garlic can also help prevent your baby from being a picky eater when they are older.
In this article, we will discuss more information surrounding the consumption of garlic during lactating, including raw garlic, black garlic, garlic powder, and more. Read on!
Can I Eat Garlic When Breastfeeding? Is it Safe?
Garlic is safe to eat while you are breastfeeding, including common foods (such as garlic bread), raw garlic, garlic powder, black garlic, and more.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) considers garlic as GRAS, or “Generally Recognized As Safe” (source: Drugs and Lactation Database).
While studies have demonstrated the safety of oral garlic supplementation in the breastfeeding mother and baby, these studies are limited, and more needs to be done to confirm the safety of garlic supplementation.
Additionally, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate dietary supplements, including garlic supplements, the same way they regulate food products.
Dietary supplements are not monitored for safety or effectiveness prior to their availability to the public (source: FDA). After they are on the market, the FDA monitors for adverse effects. Therefore, it is recommended that lactating women consult their physician before taking any dietary supplement.
Does Garlic Cause Colic or Gas in Breastfed Babies?
Garlic in your breastfeeding diet does have the potential to cause gas or colic in your breastfed baby. However, there are many reasons that your baby could experience gas, including swallowing a lot of air, eating too fast, and eating certain foods in the diet (source: Texas Children’s Hospital).
While there is no specific list of foods that will cause gas in your breastfed baby, look for patterns in your baby’s gas or colic after you eat certain foods, such as garlic.
It is important to note that studies have demonstrated that breastfeeding mothers have an increased perception that garlic causes colic or gas in their breastfeeding babies (source: Drugs and Lactation Database).
However, many women involved in the study, which found that their baby had increased colic from garlic, actually had received a placebo instead of garlic.
What Effect Does Garlic Have on Breast Milk?
Garlic changes the odor of your breastmilk which may increase the time your breastfed baby is sucking and improve their food choices in the future (source: Drugs and Lactation Database).
More specifically, the babies of mothers who breastfeed after consuming garlic may be less picky when making food choices when they are older.
While there is no substantial evidence that garlic will increase (or decrease) milk supply in breastfeeding mothers, here is a list of some lactogenic foods to incorporate into your diet to boost breast milk production.
Ways to Eat Garlic When Breastfeeding
Since eating garlic while breastfeeding is widely recognized as safe, you can continue eating it as normal, whether you like to eat raw garlic or garlicky foods. However, as mentioned above, speak with your physician before taking oral garlic supplements.
Overall, I hope this article reassured you that garlic is safe and beneficial during breastfeeding.

Home and Garden
Planting seeds is an extended backyard-to-plate process than using starter plants, and requires extra talent, knowledge, and work. According to the Cornell University Cooperative Extension, many new gardeners underestimate the dimensions container necessary for full-grown plants. Crowded roots can lead to stunted growth and cut back or prevent yield. Water also evaporates more quickly from containers than the ground, so should you slack on watering, you could be harvesting dried plants instead of food. Growing meals is commonly oversimplified, and many individuals begin with no strategy or a practical idea of the time and money that’s required.
From producing oxygen to creating some extra greenery, gardening all the time helps. We also can have some pesticide free, fresh food if we develop them in our backyard. This is an effective way to work out along with nature and luxuriate in its fruits for a long time. There are numerous procedures to do it utilizing minimum areas as nicely. We can do it in our terrace or in pots in the balcony in our flats.
Follow these planting and gardening suggestions.
At the identical time, the gardens within the monasteries have been a place to develop flowers and medicinal herbs but they were also an area where the monks could enjoy nature and relax. I take a 4-pronged method to preserving my vegetable and flower gardens freed from weed problems, and counsel you attempt it. First, keep dormant weed seeds asleep by not tilling or in any other case churning the soil. Much like dooryard gardens of Early America, at present’s house gardens brim with edibles and herbs, however flowers and native crops add curiosity to utility in distinctly American ways.
Cut a potato in half, plant in soil with the “eyes” going through up. For sweet potatoes, stick toothpicks around the midsection so it could sit atop the rim of a glass, halfway submerged in water. When it sprouts 3”-four” roots, the potato is ready to be planted in soil.
Rain Gardens – the Plants
Five houses and gardens, located in Quogue and Westhampton Beach, might be included on the tour. Highlights embrace one of many oldest homes in Quogue, with gardens designed by Alice Ireys; the house of a outstanding artist crammed with trompe l’oeil; and several other local artists painting en plein air during the tour. Guides for plant families and crop rotation can be found on-line from sources such as Virginia Cooperative Extension. Start every new season with a backyard plan that you simply’ve thoughtfully outlined during your off-time.
According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, phosphorus deficiency can lead to stunted plant growth. Before beginning an in-floor garden, conduct a soil test – and re-check it at least each three years. The outcomes let you know about traits that affect fertility, similar to organic matter content material and pH, nutrient, and salt ranges. A soil check can shed light on previous growing difficulties so you know the way to correct issues as a substitute of taking wild guesses.
For example, eggplant and peppers have to be started about eight weeks earlier than your final frost. Like many different seeds, they must be started indoors the place you can control rising circumstances. Starting indoors requires sufficient amounts of adequately lit area. According to Burpee, should you can’t expose your seeds to 6 to 10 hours of sunlight, you should use fluorescent or full-spectrum lights, which generally have to be on for 12 to sixteen hours per day. Soil structure is especially necessary with container gardening, as it also impacts proper drainage.
Explore the most effective ways to handle pests, ailments, weeds, soil high quality, and more. Licking County Master Gardener Volunteers have created an awe-inspiring Learning Garden positioned behind the Extension Office.

RAWA would help fund grassland habitat projects and collaborate with agencies, NGOs and landowners to find ways to preserve prairie and reverse the trend of species loss in North Dakota. Simonson Photo.
By John Bradley
The Peace Garden State is home to some of America’s most cherished wildlife. Nationwide, North Dakota is known for its incredible game species with hunters coming from all over to experience our fall migration of waterfowl, trophy quality deer hunting, and rolling upland prairies. Unfortunately, North Dakota has seen a troubling trend in wildlife and habitat, with more than 115 species that are at a heightened risk of extinction. Extinction is forever; the time to act is when animals are still plentiful. We need to address the threats leading to extinction: from habitat loss and fragmentation to invasive species and degraded water quality.
What is happening here in North Dakota is part of a larger national trend where more than one-third of America’s wildlife are edging toward extinction. Fortunately, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help save North Dakota incredibly rich biodiversity through a bipartisan bill in Congress called the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA). The bill is designed to fund proactive, collaborative, and locally led efforts to help recover at-risk fish, wildlife and plant species. North Dakota could receive more than $14 million annually.
RAWA has significant bipartisan momentum. The House passed the bill back in June with bipartisan support. The bill has more than 40 co-sponsors in the Senate, including 15 Republicans. Right now, the bill will likely be added to the omnibus spending package. North Dakota’s Congressional delegation can help to get RAWA across this finish line. We need our members of Congress to help bring this vital funding back home to North Dakota.
Here’s why the bill makes sense for North Dakota: we can build upon the locally driven and collaborative successes that have been the hallmark of North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department For decades, Game & Fish has done innovative work with the license fees and taxes paid by hunters, anglers, and trappers to restore species like mule deer, bald eagle, northern pintail, beaver, and white-tailed deer in our state.
Today, there isn’t the same type of funding to help at-risk species like the western meadowlark. Our state bird used to be so common that five other states recognize it as their state bird as well. Unfortunately, conversion of grassland breeding and wintering habitat for energy development, urban development, and agricultural uses have put the western meadowlark on a concerning downward trend. Other grassland birds are also trending downward. The North American Bird Conservation Initiative’s 2022 State of the Birds Report shows that over half of all bird species are in decline. The one bright spot in the report, thriving waterbirds and ducks, highlights how proactive, dedicated investments from laws like the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and North American Wetlands Conservation Act can make a difference. Now more than ever, North Dakota’s grassland birds need RAWA to fund conservation efforts like incentivizing landowners to keep grasslands intact and curb the spread of invasive grasses.
That’s where this legislation comes in. RAWA gives North Dakota the financial means it needs to prioritize proactive, local collaboration and innovation. RAWA will give North Dakota the ability to save our full spectrum of wildlife now and avoid federal regulation that comes with federal listing. The old saying rings true, “an ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure.” RAWA is the ultimate ounce of prevention.
After all, what would North Dakota be without its wildlife? Outdoor recreation generates over $1.4 billion annually for North Dakota’s economy, and this recreation is dependent on healthy wildlife. Our state has awe-inspiring public lands and waterways, but without our majestic wildlife these amazing spaces will lose much of their magic.
Inaction is the ally of extinction. We have an incredible opportunity to pass RAWA during this congress and help curb the extinction crisis. North Dakota’s elected leaders need to seize this chance to save wildlife through collaboration by helping to pass the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act. If not now, when?

The Defibulators, described alternately as “Hee-Haw on mescaline” and “CBGB-meets-Grand Ole Opry,” will release Debt’ll Get’em,’ the follow up to their acclaimed 2009 debut ‘Corn Money,’ on August 27th. Recorded in Woodstock with D. James Goodwin and Eli Walker and Brooklyn with co-producer Brian Bender (Langhorne Slim, Jose James), the album is an au courant, urban take on classic country, channeling the frenetic energy of their legendary live shows into tight, punchy hooks and foot-stomping sing-alongs.
From “Pay For That Money,” a pedal steel and fiddle lament about debt, to “Ponytail Run,” a dreamy ode to beauty just out of reach, the album is full of gorgeous harmonies and razor-sharp wit. “Everybody’s Got a Banjo” is a biting, 70′s swamp funk-inspired nod to the instrument’s recent ubiquity (“If you don’t know how to play it, well it still looks cool”), and “Cackalacky” is the tongue-in-cheek story of an Appalachian musician who moves to New York City to make it big in roots music.
The band’s boundless energy and infectious sense of joy onstage earned them a nod as one of Brooklyn’s best emerging bands in Vice Magazine, and a devoted following in a city not known for its love of country. “It’s most fun to play for people who don’t think they like country music,” says singer Erin Bru. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bug Jennings agrees, adding, “There’s something about the fast-paced, frantic, neurotic energy of New York that makes our style work.”
The band garnered immediate critical notice for their debut in 2009, with New York Magazine raving that “[Bug] and singer Erin Bru slip into harmonies that recall the storied Gram Parsons-Emmylou Harris duets,” Under the Radar hailing it as “a boozy concoction worth swigging until last call,” and Pop Matters describing it as “a drunken square dance on speed.”
Paste Magazine was dead-on when they called The Whiskey Gentry a toe-tapping, steamrolling kind of band, its fingers picking deep into fields of bluegrass, feet stomping in line with a punk-inspired kick drum.” Formed in 2009 by husband and wife duo Lauren Staley and Jason Morrow, The Whiskey Gentry is a group of seasoned veterans to put things mildly, some of the finest pickers and musicians the Southeast has to offer. A recent finalist in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition held at MerleFest, Staley's natural gifts with words and her powerful lead vocal abilities complement the bands edgy interpretation of an otherwise traditional sound. All of this, coupled with a commanding and high-energy live performance, sets the bar for the way todays country music ought to sound honest, tight, daring, and void of pretension.
Hoots & Hellmouth are a busy bunch. Road warriors to the bitter end, they’ve somehow found time to enter the studio twice in the last year to produce two records showcasing their forward-thinking roots/soul music. Their latest offering, the full-length Salt (street date 10/4/11), was recorded in their hometown of Philadelphia at Miner Street Studios with friend/engineer Jon Low (Dr. Dog, Sharon Van Etten, Twin Sister). The result speaks volumes to the evolution of a band committed to pushing their boundaries and exploring new sonic horizons.
Salt builds on the fresh ground broken on their previously released EP, Face First In The Dirt, continuing down a path of explosive creativity. “Why Would You Not Want To Go There?” kicks things off with a building intensity reflective of their passionate live performances, but tempered with well-placed flourishes of piano and electric guitar. H&H’s trademark soul vibe is thick on “Lay Low,” incorporating the stomp groove and call-and-response vocals familiar to established fans of the band. By the time the listener reaches the middle of the record, the dynamic and deep “Apple Like A Wrecking Ball” and “The Ache” drive home the point that these guys are not content to rest on their laurels. To round it all out, album closer “Being Borned Again” continues their tradition of massive group sing-alongs so vibrant the listener already feels the chills of the anticipated live rendition.
Lyrically, Sean Hoots has always endeavored to keep a keen eye on the craft of songwriting, and Salt showcases the artist on top of his game. These new songs reveal a greater depth of vulnerability and personalization unheard on previous H&H offerings. This is the sound of a writer digging deep, planting seeds and harvesting a bumper crop of thought-provoking, soul-scraping tunes.
With all the envelope-pushing found on Salt, one thing that won’t change any time soon is the band’s love of the road. Touring the old-fashioned way (relentlessly!), the band performs in all manner of venues on their own and with friends like Dr. Dog, O’Death, Heartless Bastards, Langhorne Slim, Grace Potter, etc. From rock clubs to folk festivals, they tour consistently and persistently, including triumphant stops at Wakarusa, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, SXSW, thousands of dive bars and more than a few farms in between.

Water Plants involves retrieving a watering can from a random spot in the back of Storage and using it to water the plants in Greenhouse. The first stage requires the player to click or tap on a blue watering can, which can appear in several different spots within Storage. The text "Watering Can Get!" appears when the player collects it. The second stage is located in Greenhouse and requires the player to click or tap on all four plants, each appearing to grow taller and more saturated to the player when selected.
- The third plant from the left in the second stage strongly resembles a Korok from the Nintendo video game series The Legend of Zelda.
- The message when getting the watering can could refer to the Nintendo GameCube game Super Mario Sunshine. The Japanese version displays the message "Shine Get!" when obtaining a Shine Sprite.
- It might also reference the reference in Henry Stickmin when the player obtains the Biggol Sword.

The 202020 Vision, an initiative to grow Australia’s urban green space by 20 per cent by 2020, has launched a national plan to help reach its goals.
The plan collates the knowledge of 500 greening experts from across business, government, academia and the community sector consulted during the initiative’s Growing The Seeds tour into a document that showcases “proven, scalable and replicable” solutions to greening the urban landscape.
“The 202020 Plan shows if you get industry and government leaders together to share their collective wisdom they can create simple, impactful pathways to reversing the urban greening crisis – it truly is collaborative impact at it’s best,” Dr Anthony Kachenko, research and development team leader and portfolio manager at Horticulture Innovation Australia said.
After consulting with stakeholders, 20 pathways were identified to reach the 2020 goal.
Solutions include a “green to gold calculator” to help make the business case for urban greening; a simple soil testing kit to help green space creators better understand their unique soil requirements; an online resource that showcases best practice design solutions that improve existing or produce more urban green space; and an aggregation of policy tweaks at a local, state, and federal level that members of the 202020 Vision community would like to be adapted and changed, or done better.
“Through the plan we now have the start of a compendium of urban greening strategies that is a must-read for every business, level of government and community group in Australia that is playing a role to see our cities become healthy, productive, thriving places that can mitigate the effects of climate change.” Dr Kachenko said.
One of the most often cited projects was the City of Melbourne’s Urban Forest Strategy, which will see the council increase canopy cover from 22 per cent to 40 per cent by 2040.
The 202020 Vision is now working to create a “White Label Urban Forest Strategy” for other local governments to utilise, with a step-by-step plan to replicate Melbourne’s success.
Dr Sheryn Pitman, who works on the Green Infrastructure and Sustainable Landscapes Project at the Botanic Gardens of South Australia, and who contributed to The 202020 Plan, said city planners, industry and governments were starting to understand the need to reimagine urban habitats.
“Each year more of us live closer together in large towns and cities and we are facing climatic and environmental pressures with growing alarm,” Dr Pitman said.

Waiting to Cross is my very first long form comic and my little escape to create something ridiculous and fun.
It's an ongoing romantic comedy webcomic about falling for a complete stranger at a crosswalk. Created on September 24th, 2016 by yours truly.
What's more romantic than meeting your potential soulmate on the sidewalk?
Nothing, that's what.
Like a stubborn flower that grows through the cracks of a city sidewalk, our friendly neighborhood protagonist, Nicky, grows an interest in a complete stranger who's new to town. Does love blossom between the two? Does fate prevent them from getting together? Do we ever get to have some spaghetti???
All this and more in the curbside romantic comedy, Waiting to Cross. Updates on Saturdays.


Pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline is asking the EU for tougher regulation of E-Cigarettes. E-Cigarettes are in competition with the drug company’s own Nicorette gums and other related products. Pharmaceutical companies Johnson & Johnson and Novartis AG also make smoking cessation products. The UK already has plans to regulate the E-Cigarettes industry, requiring companies producing the products to license E-Cigarettes as a nicotine-replacement therapy. Licensing E-Cigarettes as a medicine will bring this market more in-step with the pharmaceutical industry, as far as requirements in the development and marketing of products under strict medical regulations. GlaxoSmithKline’s Vice President of European public affairs, Sophie Crousse, has stated that her company feels the E-Cigarette industry is creating medical products. “We believe in responsible and proportionate regulation for all nicotine-containing products as medicinal products,” Crousse said in an email. The European Commission is looking at changing its current Tobacco Products Directive in order to regulate new tobacco related products such as E-Cigarettes. European industry experts believe that E-Cigarettes will produce over $7 billion in sales by the end of 2014.
Late last year, the EU and the European Parliament decided that the E-Cigarettes with the highest nicotine content would need to be marketed as a medicine. However, GlaxoSmithKline is lobbying for all E-Cigarettes on the market to be labeled as a medicine, in addition to banning advertisements for E-Cigarette products. Simon Steel, a spokesman for GlaxoSmithKline, said the company is concerned about safety. “Safety is our number one priority and we support the smoker’s right to choose from a selection of products that have well established safety and efficacy profile in helping them quit smoking.”

On November 3, 2018, the San Diego Comic Con Museum hosted several panels for Storytelling Across Media (SAM) . When I first heard about this, I zeroed in on one name: J. Michael Straczynski. I knew I had to try to go to this event.
The catch? I also had a book signing and reading the same day. This meant I had to dash from my own event to this one. No time to change or anything. Which made me look pretty nerdy in a star dress going to see a major sci-fi writer. I was dropped off a bit too far from the venue, and I was wearing those Considerable Boots from my Halloween costume (I was The Widow from Into the Badlands…see my costume here…also that’s why my hair is red right now). So I’m inching my way down a precarious hill with few sidewalks to get to this talk. And cursing said heels. And really thinking, maybe I should have changed shoes from an event in which I was mostly sitting. But it was all spectacularly worth it, as you will see….
Many people, myself included, call Straczynski JMS for short. So that is what I’ll do here. Let me give you the lowdown on JMS, if you don’t already know. He created the sci-fi series Babylon 5, one of my all-time favorite shows. He also wrote Sense8 for Netflix, a groundbreaking sci-fi show that seemed both ahead of its time and exactly for it. And you may know him as the writer of The Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie. So he’s a Big Deal in my book. And he’s a big influence on my books!
JMS approached his panel with what he called “The Prince from a Distant Land” scenario. He spoke about his life journey as a writer, and I really loved this. This is a guy who got knocked down a lot in life and got back up again, and fought back with words. He’s basically my hero. He figured out how to make a living writing, and had the excellent advice to have three writing gigs going at a time. Because one of them is going to go away at some point. Another sage bit of advice he gave was to expand your horizons as a writer. He talked about how he wrote plays, columns, scripts, short stories, and how he often found himself writing for things he never anticipated. This is generally good advice that I’ve implemented as well. I’m not just writing science fiction, I’m also a science writer. And I think I will branch into other types of writing as well. The point he made was, broaden your options in storytelling across media.
After the talk JMS engaged us with a Q&A (I had to call back to his story about Mountain Dew and beef jerky—don’t ask. Wait, do ask. It’s a good life lesson.). I had asked about the possibility of working in Hollywood, and JMS made the point that you really have to do the hard work to make it up there.
When we left the talk, JMS was available for signing. I was holding my copy of my own book, from my library signing, and took the chance to ask him to sign it. So here, full circle, I am holding Heliopause: The Questrison Saga: Book One, signed by J. Michael Straczynski. Thank you, Mr. Straczynski, for inspiring me in the past, the present, and into the future.

The first and second Boeing 737-700s, introduced by the ANA Group in November 2005, have the blue lines, which are ANA’s corporate colors, painted in gold.
This is painted in gold in the image of gold shachihoko of Nagoya Castle to commemorate the opening of the port of Chubu Centrair International Airport, which opened in the same year.The specially painted JA01AN and JA02AN were named Gold Jet.
The first-generation 737 Original and the second-generation 737 Classic have been the mainstays to date and have been the best-selling passenger aircraft manufactured by Boeing.
The third-generation Boeing 737 Next Generation 737-700 was delivered to All Nippon Airways in November 2005.
The Next Generation is a Boeing 737 series aircraft with a number from 700 to 900, and ANA operates the Boeing 737-700 first.


“Design of assistance to the visually impaired with removable prototype to be used in any clothes and powered by the cell phone.
Visual deficiency is characterized by the limitation or loss of the basic functions of the eye and visual system. The visually impaired may be the blind or low vision person.
To help people with this deficiency we study and every day we develop something to assist our brothers, this time we made a prototype that can be fixed on any clothing and will serve as a friend, warning the handicapped of objects in front of him, with that the user is not limited to just a single outfit with this technology.
To run this project we use the Arduino Lilypad board, with a little creativity and an easy and affordable programming the project worked and we are here posting to share the solution to the Arduino community.”

Can someone tall me where to find it or suggest something else? Thanks in advance.
Two very good marine friendly units that are waterproof and float as well as being good hiking companions that have the tracback feature you mentioned are the Garmin 72 and 76 units. Go here to check them out:
