continued Preparing food for the expected crowd takes more than two months, Dross said. Teams of volunteers cooked and baked, freezing some of the food before the festival. This year, the festival featured food including kapusta, a cabbage soup; kielbasa, an Eastern European sausage; and ribbon fries. Several desserts including Polish cheesecake, lemon poppy seed plum cake, apple strudel and crepes were popular favorites as well.
Polish pizza was an innovative creation at the festival this year, made with pita bread, mashed potatoes, caramelized onions and sauerkraut with either mushrooms, kielbasa and/or hot dogs.
“They’re really going like crazy,” Dross said.
Joe and Colleen Ferrari, owners of Ferrari’s Italian Restaurant in Schenectady, came to the festival for the first time this year.
“(We came) to help support the church and listen to Polish music. We’re Polish for the day,” Joe Ferrari said. “The food, the music, the company, it’s all great.”
Several vendors the filled inside of the church, displaying different Eastern European goods including woodwork, jewelry, pottery and Polish soccer memorabilia. Oksana Dzyuba, originally from Ukraine, sold different wooden toys and kitchen décor representing Polish attributes. She said many details like bright colors are attributes of Polish culture.
“Very bright and cheerful colors, like how the flag is red and white,” Dzyuba said. “Just the way people are, they’re very cheerful.”
New to the festival this year was beginning Friday night’s opening ceremony with a trumpet player performing “The Trumpeter of Krakow,” a Krakow signal bugle call dating back to the Middle Ages that now plays at noon each day on Polish National Radio. Local officials also joined the opening night for the first time. They including Congressman Paula Tonko, Albany County Executive Dan McCoy, Assemblyman Phil Steck and Town Supervisor Paula Mahan. Each spoke before the crowd about their relationship with Polish heritage.

The firm has hired tax partner Joan Hortala in Barcelona, media specialist Luis Murillo in Zaragoza and urban development lawyer Mercedes Izquierdo in Seville.
Out of the 21 successful promotion candidates, only one woman, Eva Lasunción Patús, was made up to partner.

District 10 Environment Committee
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
Attendees: Sharon Shinomiya, Val Cunningham, Ron Edlund, Mike MacDonald, District 10 Administrator & Coordinator Jessica Bronk, Janna Caywood, Susan Jane Cheney
Committee Chair Ron Edlund called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.
February meeting minutes were reviewed and approved.
Good attendance was reported for the first two talks. The Sunday afternoon time slot seems to be working out well. Next up is Erik Olsen’s presentation on urban gardening with native plants on 4/15 at St. Timothy Lutheran Church. Talks on the history of Como Park and local trolleys were suggested as future topics.
Committee partnering with other neighborhood, City and State groups
Ron Edlund discussed the potential Adopt-a-section-of-Como-Lake program in light of the existing Department of Natural Resources Adopt-a-river program for 4th-6th graders and St. Paul’s Come Clean program. He suggested that local groups with volunteer community service requirements, such as the Job Corps and Como Elementary and High School students, might become involved and that the City might provide signage for litter pickup days.
Janna Caywood noted that the idea of an Adopt-a-storm-drain program has come up, and Ron floated the possibility of encouraging the City to perform street sweeping based on weather conditions rather than a rigid calendar determination in impaired lake areas, such as the Como Lake Watershed.
Janna discussed the Como Lake Neighborhood Network (CLNN) group’s 2012 fall cleanup event and the possibility of the Environment Committee assisting with communicating the importance of framing the issue as a “civic act” with a direct link to a community goal of keeping Como Lake healthy. She explained the roles of several student groups and will prepare a list of specific tasks for possible E.C. involvement in the project.
Janna also briefly discussed the possibility of pursuing an Environmental Protection Agency Urban Small Waters Grant to develop community participation in promoting public health with lake-related activities.
District 10 community garden
Jessica Bronk reported that two potential garden sites (south of Jessamine/ north of the railroad tracks and at the Snelling Avenue/Albany Street intersection) appear promising, pending soil tests. Application for a community garden has been made to the DOT, and the District is awaiting notification. The next group meeting is scheduled for 4/4, 6:00 p.m., at the District 10 Office.
Como Woodland Outdoor Classroom (CWOC)
Environment Committee liaison to the Como Woodland Advisory Committee (CWAC), Susan Jane Cheney reported that:
1. St. Paul Parks & Rec Deputy Director Kathy Korum attended the CWAC’s March meeting to explain the City’s intention to firm up guidelines for affiliated and “friends of” groups (such as booster clubs). Discussion regarding CWAC’s status in relation to the City is ongoing.
2. CWOC signage design will coordinate with other Como Park signage.
3. Meghan Manhatton (Parks & Rec Environmental Services) recapped 2011 accomplishments in the Woodland and previewed the 2012 work plan for each Woodland plant community.
4. Environmental Services Coordinator Adam Robbins announced that he is considering application for a MN Historical Society grant for a cultural and natural history guide to the site.
5. Upcoming CWOC events include: the Annual Citywide Cleanup on Saturday, 4/14, 8:30 to 11:00 a.m.; Garlic Mustard Removal on Saturday, 4/28, 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.; and a Burdock Removal on 6/23.
For more information about the CWOC, check their website: www.comowoodland.org.
Capitol Region Watershed District (CRWD)
CRWD Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) member Mike MacDonald reported that the most recent CAC meeting included a CRWD staff presentation on the Watershed District’s permitting rules and that a project for dredging the Villa Park wetlands, as specified in the McCarrons Lake Watershed Plan, will include relocation of turtles while the work is being done.
For more information about the CRWD, check the website: www.capitolregionwd.org.
1. Val Cunningham noted that cleaning up the Como Pavilion Native Plant Garden this spring will be a big job. Jessica Bronk will send out an e-blast and contact block clubs.
2. Mike MacDonald, Ward 4 representative to Blooming St. Paul, reported that volunteers are needed to help with maintenance of 30,000 new plants being put in around the renovated Como Pool.
3. Ron Edlund announced that The Monitor has extended an invitation to District 10 to submit an article for publication each month. Ron suggested that the Environment Committee prepare one for the June issue.
4. Sharon Shinomiya and Val Cunningham reported that they are recruiting gardens for the July garden tour.
5. Susan Jane Cheney noted that publicity regarding the annual Tree Appreciation Project should begin soon. Sharon Shinomiya offered to place notices in local newspapers, and Jessica Bronk will send out an e-blast.
The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m.

South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se attends the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) summit in Havana
Yun Byung-se became the first South Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs in history to visit Cuba.
His visit could be a turning point in negotiations toward the normalization of relations between Seoul and Havana. Cuba is one of the more strategically important of the three countries - Syria and Macedonia are the others - that South Korea that does not have diplomatic relations with among the 191 UN member states besides itself and North Korea.
Yun was the senior South Korean representative for the seventh Association of Caribbean States (ACS) summit in Havana. South Korea is not a member of the association, but gained observer status in 1998.
“This is the first summit-level multilateral meeting being held in Cuba since the US and Cuba’s agreement on normalizing relations, and we took into account the fact that it was taking place in Cuba, which has relations with the US, and there was an invitation from the summit for Minister Yun,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said of Yun’s attendance.
After the ACS summit organizers extended an invitation to Yun, Second Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Tae-yul attended first on his behalf, as Yun was then accompanying President Park Geun-hye on her recent visits to Africa and France. Yun joined the summit at its meeting on the afternoon of June 4.
Yun said that day that South Korea had “worked in various ways to improve bilateral relations [with Cuba] under the Park Geun-hye administration.”
“I believe this visit may be an important milestone [in negotiations toward diplomatic relations],” he added.
Yun previously announced plans to pursue normalization of relations with Cuba during a Feb. 2015 appearance before the National Assembly. The South Korean government first formally proposed negotiations to the Cuban government during the Kim Dae-jung administration in 2000.
The first-ever meeting between the South Korean and Cuban foreign ministers came during the UN General Assembly in Sept. 2013 when then-chair country Cuba organized the second Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) Troika Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. To date, no foreign ministers’ talks have been held in either Seoul or Havana.

Legalizing marijuana in California: Proposition 64 is complicated, but highly likely to pass – Cannabis News
And if California votes to legalize, other states will follow.
I know you’ve been distracted/disgusted/gobsmacked by the presidential campaign all summer.
But history, polling and common sense tell us that California’s electoral votes already belong to Hillary Clinton (sorry, Donald Trump fans).
So stop wasting time worrying about that, Golden State types, and turn your attention to the doorstop of a ballot that you’ll be facing when you vote Nov. 8.

23% of Small Business Owners Went a Year Without Pay and Obama is Happy About It
http://godfatherpolitics.com/5711/23-small-business-owners-went-year-without-pay-obama-happy-about-it/Godfather Politics –
“Keeping businesses afloat has required sacrifices on the part of both employer and employees, the survey found. Over the past few years, business owners report that they have, at one time or another, taken less profit (78 percent), worked more hours than usual (70 percent), and used their own money to help the business survive (69 percent).
“But what is most revealing is that the majority of respondents — 54 percent — say they have gone without a paycheck in order to keep the business running. And nearly one-quarter (23 percent) have gone without pay for one year or more.
Employees, too, sacrificed finances for their employers. More than one-third of owners (38 percent) said their employees worked overtime without pay; 18 percent said employees either missed paychecks or had paychecks delayed.”

Meet the big boy of the BCS fleet: the PowerSafe 750. It’s the only model of BCS tractor that can operate the largest 33″ tiller attachment.
The 750 comes with a quick-attach system so you can rapidly change implements. Individual wheel brakes make the tractor easier to turn; this is especially useful when turning at the end of garden rows.

It includes a special gear reduction mechanism that provides slower ground speeds that are ideal for both primary and secondary tillage. Note that the gear reduction mechanism reduces the speed when mowing.
The 750 PowerSafe has a durable, smooth-shifting hydro-mechanical, “wet” clutch backed by a five-year warranty for non-commercial homeowner use.

Now you might not expect this, but every year during the Nationaal Oldtimer Festival at the Circuitpark Zandvoort in the Netherlands there a several Lamborghini gathered by the Dutch club … but for the 2013 edition there would be a little difference.
Remember we are talking about the 50th Anniversary of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, and with celebrations all over the world the Lamborghini Club Nederland and Lamborghini Leusden, the official factory authorized dealer decided to add another celebration event to the list … during this festival in Zandvoort.
In fact there were so many entries by Lamborghini owners and Lamborghini Leusden the organizers had to move the Lamborghini section from their regular position just next to the entry at Zandvoort to the main paddock … where a large area was reserved for cars made in Sant’Agata, and it is safe to say these super cars drew a crowd all day long, despite the rather sad looking weather at first, but fortunately the sun did come out in the afternoon and they were able to stay away from too much rain.
One of the highlights on the Lamborghini Leusden stand was the beautiful white Aventador LP700-4 Roadster … for the first time shown to the public in the Netherlands, safe to say once the roof panels were removed and doors kept open this car alone was admired by everyone that visited the festival.
Around this V12 Roadster you could admire several other recent models from the V10 range, a white with orange Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica and its counterpart in matte black, clearly showing the totally different impression the same car can give in another shade. However I guess that bright red Gallardo Performante wasn’t shy of attention either, the shade alone will draw your eye to her … and she sure was a beauty.
Pon also displayed a model from the latest facelift evolution, the Gallardo LP560-4 with the new front and rear segments … finished in a very special looking Grigio Telesto … keep in mind Pon Exlusive Cars also offers other high end automobiles, so you’ll find two units of the limited edition Porsche Carrera GT in the background and a brand new Bentley.
Now you might think ‘wasn’t this an oldtimer festival?’ … sure it was, and the classic Raging Bulls were present on the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand … remember a car is officially an oldtimer over here when she reaches 25 years of age … this means everything up to the 1988 Countach 25th Anniversary is considered to be an oldtimer.
First let me give you the bad news … there was no Miura at the festival, you can’t win them all, but there were some pretty amazing cars present like the black 400GT 2+2 that participated in the 50th Anniversary Grand Tour in Italy … she still wears the starting number with pride, from the same owner a special Countach Quattrovalvole with carbon fiber rear wing was also present … and it is considered an oldtimer by now just like the pristine, showroom fresh 25th Anniversary in red that arrived a little late to the party, but still managed to impress all those around when the owner had to back her into a slot … sitting on the sill looking back.
Two other classics as I would prefer calling them were a great looking light blue metallic Islero S edition and blue Jarama … also in S trim. But the Jarama had a little surprise in stock … this classic, unrestored beauty didn’t have the regular 4-Liter V12 engine … instead a massive 4.7 liter Countach derived unit was installed making this blue GT a one of a kind Lamborghini … and the owner sure enjoys every minute behind the steering wheel of this original Raging Bull Grand Turismo.
And that Jarama wasn’t the only rare car on the paddock at the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand, a very nice silver metallic Lamborghini Diablo was also present … well two in fact, but one of them was a 1999 edition … you know with the fixed headlights … but this VT model also had the Roadster wheels and the special side sills, rear wing and engine cover from the extremely rare Diablo SE30 installed … in fact every Diablo VT ordered for the United States back in 1999 came like this, but on the European market these items were an expensive option … just like the blue and grey Alcantara interior … even the steering wheel was covered in blue Alcantara, making this another one of a kind Lamborghini at the festival.
The second Diablo was an earlier two-wheel drive model, but it still had the lower dashboard mounted from 1993 on installed … and despite being almost 20 years old she still looked amazing and drew a lot of attention … sometimes even more than the quartet of Gallardos that joined the festivities, two black V10, a bright yellow one and a special dark red metallic Spyder edition.
The most recent car on the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand was a yellow over black Murciélago Roadster, the black wheels offering a stunning contrast to the bright paintwork of the car, and being a first edition Murciélago Roadster it has become rather rare on the road … several of these have either been tuned by their owners, been crashed … or have been turned into a more recent LP640 lookalike, so seeing one like this, in the condition she was sure amazed many people at Zandvoort.
As usual these events aren’t static, so several of these Raging Bulls would do a stint on the famous Zandvoort track in the afternoon, accompanied by other super cars and classics these Lamborghini sure put down a spectacle … the thundering red Countach Quattrovalvole managed some serious fast laps as its owner holds a race driver license, but that didn’t hold back the other Bulls on the track in any way.
The 2013 Nationaal Oldtimer Festival in Zandvoort was once again a very, very nice event which as a Lamborghini enthusiast you just couldn’t afford to miss…


Unfortunately, or fortunately for some, the Undisputed Era broke up after dominating NXT since its debut in the summer of 2017, winning several single and duo titles, gaining more and more popularity with fans. Now the four have gone their separate ways but they still meet today, in fact, we have seen Adam Cole and O’Reilly challenge each other in a fairly brutal way in recent months and now Strong, part of the Diamond Mine stable, find himself in the ring with Fish.
Surely the leading man of this group, Adam Cole, who's a protégé of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, would also like to have a match in WWE with the latter.
The latest news on Adam Cole
According to Wrestling INC reporter Raj Giri, Adam Cole will become a free agent this month.
The contract of the former NXT champion, according to some rumors, was expiring in 2024. Instead, Wrestling INC has discovered that it will expire in August 2021 just after one of the Big 4, namely Summerslam. The contract had already expired after The Great American Bash, but Cole had decided to extend it for a while.
This deadline would lead him not to have a contract with any company, so he would be free to eventually sign with whoever he wishes, so he could either renew with WWE or throw himself into another company, with options that are many nowadays.
Earlier this month we reported an interview that Adam had given to TalkSPORT journalist Alex McCarthy where the former leader of the Undisputed Era had responded to speculations that saw him move up to the main roster. His words had been these: "There is still a lot to do (at NXT).
I find it flattering that there are people who want to see Adam Cole on Raw or SmackDown, really a lot. […] Now the possibilities of things to do in all three brands seem endless to me. But there are definitely a lot of things still to do for me at NXT."
WWE sources put Adam Cole over to SRS because he was willing to stick around and work with them instead of suddenly showing up on another competitor's program, such as AEW, without notice. Despite the rumors that stated Adam Cole had signed a new WWE contract that put him with the company through 2024 around the time NXT moved to the USA Network, it's abundantly clear now that wasn't the case.


Test cricket stuck on the back foot as faster formats prosper
We’ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Cricket news every morning.
When England’s Ollie Robinson was bowled out in comical fashion in the fifth Test at Hobart, backing away from the ball, it was a suitably ignominious finale to his country’s 2021-22 Ashes campaign in Australia.
England’s attempt to regain the coveted urn — the notional prize for the winner — had already failed after just 12 days’ play, with defeat in the third Test in Melbourne (Australia had won the first two of the five-match series).
For the neutral observer, it was often uncomfortable to witness Australia’s battering of the hapless tourists. For a series billed as the ultimate rivalry in Test cricket, it was a sorry advert for the game.
But Test cricket — supposedly the most revered format of the sport, with matches taking up to five days — has been in decline for some time, judging by the attitudes of players, their representatives and the millions of fans who bankroll the sport. Even before Covid-19 played havoc with schedules and shut out spectators, Test cricket was struggling.
Compared with the instant gratification of limited-overs cricket, where a match lasts a few hours, a five-day Test match can look staid. And broadcasters are obviously keen to satisfy their customers’ cravings.
To the media companies, the long format of the game is not as valuable as it was or as popular as one-day internationals and the even shorter Twenty20.
Tom Moffat, chief executive of the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (Fica), which represents professional cricketers in nine of the 12 Test-playing nations, admits Test cricket “is in trouble”.
“Cricket is spoilt for choice with the number of successful formats that exist,” points out Moffat, who is also a lawyer and a former first-class cricketer for South Australia.
“Cricket has not done a particularly good job of bringing those formats together in a clear global structure, and Test cricket is a victim of that.”
He adds that Test cricket is having to compete with other international fixtures, as well as lucrative domestic short-format leagues.
The Indian Premier League, which uses the T20 format, is the richest competition in the sport and attracts the world’s best players. As such, the international calendar has to fit around it.
But the tournament is to be extended from six to 10 weeks, piling even greater pressure on the global cricket calendar. “The owners of the IPL franchises are not interested in the health of cricket; they are interested in getting the most from their assets,” says one official, who wishes to remain anonymous.
According to Moffat, 82 per cent of men who responded to a Fica survey in 2018-19 said Test cricket was the most important format to play.
But many respondents said they were worried about its future, and some players and officials do not think the International Cricket Council, the global governing body, is doing enough to uphold the five-day game.
Geoff Allardice, ICC chief executive, will not be drawn on whether the governing body still views Test cricket as the pinnacle of the game.
“All three versions are important,” he says, “and help us address commercial and fan preferences.”
Allardice does, however, point out that the ICC is looking at ways to reinvigorate the five-day version and has introduced day/night matches as well as the World Test Championship.
The final of this competition last June, in which New Zealand beat India, was watched live by 130mn viewers in 89 territories.
But critics say the championship, which runs over two and half years, based on series between nine countries, is “incoherent” and the points system “lacks credibility”.
Moffatt believes the championship has been a “step in the right direction”, though he would like the ruling body to do more. “The ICC views itself as a members’ organisation, rather than a global governing body,” he says.
“Many of the decisions in our game, including on scheduling, are therefore made by the member boards based on regional interests, and not necessarily in the interests of the global game.”
Moffat warns that, unless players are meaningfully engaged and there is greater support for Test cricket, the lure of well-paid domestic competitions will be harder to resist.
Some cricketers have already made their choice.
AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle, outstanding players for South Africa and the West Indies respectively, were both paid handsomely after giving up Test cricket to play in T20 tournaments around the world.
“Players will naturally gravitate towards greater job and financial security, like employees in any industry,” says Moffatt.
Allardice, however, points to signs of renewed vitality in Test cricket.
He cites Bangladesh’s recent shock defeat of New Zealand, and South Africa’s comeback to win their series against favourites India in January.
But many commentators say England’s abject performance in the Ashes reflects a decline in the importance of Test cricket in the country and the malign influence of the shorter format.
England failed to post a score of 300 or more in 10 attempts — a level of underperformance that is almost unheard of — prompting observers to blame limited-overs cricket for the batters’ impatience and flawed technique.
Pundits and former players also point to a crowded schedule that gave too much space to T20 cricket.
“We need a clear global structure and a balanced international calendar,” argues Moffat, who expresses frustration over how the game is being run.
“I understand that decisions need to be made for commercial reasons, but we also need to find a balance and make decisions that benefit cricket.
“There is a real possibility that, in 10 years, fewer teams will be playing Test cricket and we won’t see a lot of the best players in the international game.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
If the Arctic Ocean warms enough to release much of the methane stored beneath the seabed, the cost could almost equal the value of the global economy, scientists say.
LONDON, 24 July – The true cost of an ice-free Arctic summer could be counted in lives lost, communities flooded and economies ruined, three scientists warn.
Methane in the submarine permafrost could be released on such a scale that the cost to the world’s economy could reach $60 trillion. The value of the entire world economy in 2012 was $70 trillion.
Gail Whiteman is at the school of management at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Peter Wadhams is a professor of ocean physics at the University of Cambridge and Chris Hope is at the Judge Business School in Cambridge.
All three argue, in the journal Nature, that while businesses consider the benefits of Arctic warming in terms of shorter sea routes and easier access to fossil fuel reserves, the potentially catastrophic consequences are being ignored.
The problem they foresee is relatively straightforward and has been of concern to climate scientists for years. For all human history, the Arctic Ocean has been capped by ice. Beneath the ice is sunless ocean, and beneath the ocean is permanently frozen seabed, and within the seabed are billions of tonnes of marsh gas or natural gas stored as frozen methane hydrate.
Catalogue of problems
For the past 30 years, the ice has been reducing both in volume and in area, and in September 2012 reached an all-time low. Some researchers calculate that by the 2050s, the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free in September.
But, says Wadhams, beneath the ice cap the ocean was effectively maintained at freezing point, which meant that the ocean floor below remained permanently at freezing point, which meant that methane hydrate, held under pressure for millions of years below the ocean floor, stayed safely locked away. Once the ice is gone, the sea starts to absorb solar radiation, and last year reached almost 7°C.
The East Siberian Sea covers a shallow shelf, 50 to 100 metres deep, and in recent summers a joint Russian-US research team has been measuring releases of methane from the warming sea bed.
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas: it is relatively short-lived in the atmosphere, but it is also 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide as an agent of global warming.
So a massive and sustained release of 50 billion tonnes of methane from the East Siberian shelf alone, they calculated, would speed up global warming, bring forward the date at which the world would warm by 2°C by between 15 and 25 years, change weather patterns, precipitate extremes of flooding, drought and storms, bring health risks, mostly for those in the developing world – and have major implications for national economies.
To find out just how much of a disaster could occur, they took an economic model used for the British Government’s 2006 Stern Review of the Economics of Climate Change, and ran it 10,000 times to find a mean economic cost, which is how they arrived at the $60 trillion figure.
But, of course, had they factored in other consequences of global warming – ocean acidification is one of them – the figure could have been still higher. Gail Whiteman described the data they had arrived at as “incredibly compelling” and warned that it presented an economic timebomb.
“All nations will be affected, not just those in the far north, and all should be concerned about changes occurring in the region”, the authors warn. “More modelling is needed to understand which regions and parts of the world economy will be most vulnerable.”
They also warn that it may be impossible to avoid large releases of methane without major reductions in global emissions of carbon dioxide, and they urge the World Economic Forum to ask world leaders to consider what might lie beyond short-term gains from a more open Arctic.
“Arctic science is a strategic asset for human economies because the region drives critical effects in our biophysical, political and economic systems”, they write. “Without this recognition, world leaders and economists will miss the big picture.” – Climate News Network

RUMOR: Apple to Ship Tablet Device in March
Posted on January 4, 2010 by eli courey
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple will announce a tablet in January and start shipping it in March. Apple has been developing a pair of “material finishes” for the tablet. It could be to offer different options, or maybe just prototypes for the final device. Their source hinted at a screen between 10 and 11 inches.


Dig into moisture management
With drier times still predicted for 2024, moisture management is set to become even more critical in order to maximise soil and paddock productivity.
Australian manufacturer K-Line Ag specialises in a range of high-quality and high-performance tillage equipment that has been serving the needs of farmers for more than 30 years.
“In a country like Australia, one of the driest in the world, farmers know just how critical moisture management is,” CNH Industrial Australia and New Zealand seeding and tillage brand leader David Gibson said.
“It impacts crop growth and yield, and overall farm profitability, and if done well can lead to many benefits including improved soil health, reduced erosion, better water use efficiencies and climate resilience,” he said.
“Ensuring soils are well-prepared and ready for rain and associated moisture collection can mean the difference between a great crop and an average one, particularly when good rainfall is hard to find.”
Mr Gibson said K-Line Ag, with its manufacturing base in Cowra, NSW, had developed a range of equipment specially designed for Australian conditions that worked to help optimise soil health and productivity.
The K-Line Ag TrackAttack is a versatile and effective option when it comes to incorporating moisture management strategies, offering a range of track options designed for various soil conditions and helping to minimise soil compaction and maximise moisture retention.
Mr Gibson said with the TrackAttack, the issue of soil compaction is combatted by facilitating tram-line farming, a method that limits vehicle traffic to designated areas rather than across the entire paddock.
This is achieved by levelling out wheel tracks, ruts, and uneven terrain, the front row of discs slicing through the ground, loosening and moving soil onto the tram-line, while the crumbler roller follows behind, breaking down clods and leaving a flat, even surface.
K-Line Ag’s Ripper range also works to solve soil compaction, featuring the MaxxRipper, ThunderRipper and LightningRipper.
“The practice of deep ripping to address compaction and allow for moisture pathways between the surface and sub-surface areas of the soil profile is an important aspect of well-prepped paddocks and our Ripper range is designed to cater for a variety of farming operations and soil challenges,” Mr Gibson said.
The Trashcutter is an above-the-ground moisture management solution, particularly well suited to zero-till operations, he said.
Its advanced design lays stubble to one side and then slices the stubble with self-sharpening discs into short lengths. With the Trashcutter, more stubble remains in the soil, helping minimise both wind and water erosion.
Mr Gibson said as farmers start thinking about planting their next crops, it’s a great time to do a stocktake of their tillage equipment and consider the K-Line range.
“It’s all Australian-designed and locally manufactured, ideally suited to our conditions and currently there are good stock levels available through local Case IH and New Holland dealers.”

Center Stage with Pat Launer on KSDS JAZZ88
August 12, 2011
Grab the kids and head for the hills! There’s a man-eating plant on the loose! Look out for bloody limbs, gory songs and a sadistic, nitrous-inhaling dentist. Audrey II is back in town, guaranteed to steal your heart – and have it for lunch.
Sci-fi spoof, doo-wop delight and goofball musical extraordinaire, “Little Shop of Horrors” has settled into Old Town – with a vengeance.
Perhaps you remember the Roger Corman B-movie original of 1960, or the later film adaptation of the pop-rock musical that premiered Off Broadway in 1982 and ran for a staggering 2200 performances, or the DC Comics version, or the Saturday morning cartoon. Just as that evil, alien plant planned, it’s taken over the country. And now it’s ravaging San Diego again.
Cygnet Theatre artistic director Sean Murray has moved away from the camp and back to the noir sendup. The set, in fact, ingeniously designed by Sean Fanning, is all black and white and gray, as are Shirley Pierson’s killer costumes. The only onstage color is the brilliant green of the ever-expanding plant, a magnificent, size-sequenced series of puppets imported from Monkey Boy Productions in Pennsylvania; and the blood-red spangles on the Supremes-like trio that serves as Greek chorus and seems complicit in the plight of poor, hapless Seymour.
All he wants is Audrey – the somewhat slutty flesh and blood one — who , at the outset, is busy being abused by that monstrous, malevolent dentist. But after a solar eclipse, Seymour is introduced to the little flytrap that, with its demanding diet of human blood, grows to mammoth proportion, resulting in Seymour’s fame, fortune and serial homicides. It doesn’t end well for anyone – except the devious greenery.
The show is as silly as ever, but it’s kind of inspired silliness, and if you give yourself over to it, it’ll devour you with its catchy Alan Menken tunes and clever lyrics by the late Howard Ashman.
Melissa Fernandes is a knockout as Audrey, a role that highlights her prodigious singing and acting chops. Brandon Joel Maier, an alumnus of the SDSU Musical Theatre MFA program, is charming as Seymour, and Geno Carr is a hoot in a number of roles and accents, from the pompadoured , Elvis-like dentist to the Germanic fiend who propagates the bloodthirsty bulb that bears a booming, bluesy, basso voice, courtesy of unseen David McBean .
The excellent six-piece band, under the musical direction of Tim McKnight, sounds surprisingly muted and pre-recorded. But audiences are eating it all up, and you will, too. Like the characters, here’s hoping you also wind up “Somewhere that’s Green.”
“Little Shop of Horrors” runs through September 11 at Cygnet Theatre in Old Town.

This article needs to be updated.(September 2017)
3D XPoint (pronounced three dee cross point) is a non-volatile memory (NVM) technology by Intel and Micron Technology; it was announced in July 2015 and is available on the open market under brand names Optane (Intel) and subsequently QuantX (Micron) since April 2017. Bit storage is based on a change of bulk resistance, in conjunction with a stackable cross-gridded data access array. Initial prices are less than dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) but more than flash memory.
Development of 3D XPoint began around 2012. Intel and Micron had developed other non-volatile phase-change memory (PCM) technologies previously;[note 1] Mark Durcan of Micron said 3D XPoint architecture differs from previous offerings of PCM, and uses chalcogenide materials for both selector and storage parts of memory cell that are faster and more stable than traditional PCM materials like GST. But today, it is thought as a subset of ReRAM.
By 2015 full details of the technology had not been given by Intel or Micron, though the technology is apparently not based on electrons. 3D XPoint has been stated to use electrical resistance and to be bit addressable. Similarities to the resistive random-access memory under development by Crossbar Inc. have been noted, but 3D XPoint uses different storage physics. 3D XPoint developers indicate that it is based on changes in resistance of the bulk material. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich responded to ongoing questions on the XPoint material that the switching was based on "bulk material properties". Intel has stated that 3D XPoint does not use a phase-change or memristor technology, although this is disputed by independent reviewers.
Individual data cells do not need a transistor, so packing density will be four times that of DRAM.
Media reports comment that as of April 2016, no other supplier had developed a working resistive RAM or phase-change memory technology that was sampling and matched 3D XPoint's performance and endurance.
In mid 2015 Intel announced the Optane brand for storage products based on 3D XPoint technology. Micron (using the QuantX brand) estimated the memory to be sold for about half the price of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), but four to five times the price of flash memory. Initially, a wafer fabrication facility in Lehi, Utah, operated by IM Flash Technologies LLC (an Intel-Micron joint venture) made small quantities of 128 Gbit chips in 2015. They stack two 64 Gbit planes. In early 2016 mass production of the chips was expected in 12 to 18 months.
In early 2016 IM Flash announced that the first generation of solid-state drives would achieve 95000 IOPS throughput with 9 microsecond latency. This low latency significantly increases IOPS at low queue depths for random operations. At Intel Developer Forum 2016, Intel demonstrated PCI Express (PCIe) 140GB development boards showing 2.4−3× improvement in benchmarks compared to PCIe NAND flash solid-state drives (SSDs), much lower performance than estimated a year before. On March 19, 2017, Intel announced their first product: a PCIe card available in the second half of 2017.

A great way to use one of those salmon gift packs you got for Christmas. Uses no heavy cream and little butter, making it pretty healthy, as the only real oil is super healthy fish oil. The Wondra flour is not essential, but i like to use--makes for a smooth soup fast. Freezes well.
- 1 (16 ounce) smoked salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
- 1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped celery
- 1 cup coarsely chopped green pepper
- 4 tablespoons Wondra Flour
- 2 (14 ounce) cans fat-free chicken broth
- 3 cups red potatoes, skins on,cut in golf ball size chunks
- 2 cups carrots, sliced fairly thick
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can creamed corn, i prefer walmart great value
- 2 teaspoons dried dill weed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 1⁄2 cup low-fat sour cream or 1⁄2 cup low-fat yogurt
- drain salmon of all oil, remove skin and scrape off any dark parts on the underside.
- break into chunks and set aside.
- saute the onion, celery and gr pepper in butter til soft.
- add Wondra or regular flour.
- add 2 cans broth and stir thoroughly.
- bring to boil, add potatoes and carrots.
- drop to low heat and cook 8-9 minutes.
- add seasonings, salmon, canned corn, and sour cream or yogurt.
- heat thoroughly, then set aside while the flavors marry for a few minutes.
- You may need to add some water before serving, as it can get thick.
- Serve with crusty dark bread and a salad.
Indulgent tasting chowder that really is full of healthy ingredients. This makes a BIG pot of soup. My husband loved it so much he insisted on packaging up a serving to take to his mother. The only changes I made were to use 1 tsp basil and 1 tsp oregano rather than the dill and to add some fresh mushrooms I had on hand. This is going in the permanent file, Margaret. It's delicious even though all I had was 4 ounces of Christmas gift smoked salmon packs.
Rich tasting chowder without the cream! I didn't have any smoked salmon on hand, so I used 1 lb of frozen salmon that I thawed out, baked with salt,pepper, cajun seasoning and oil for 15 min @ 450 F and cooled, then flaked. Like the others, I used 1 tsp each of oregano and basil instead of the dill. I also added 1/2 tsp of liquid smoke for depth. Absolutely, delicious! Thanks for sharing a great recipe, Margaret3!
Very good and quick recipe. I changed the seasoning to 1 tsp each of parsley, oregano and basil and 1 tsp Herby and a dash of Emeril's essence. I also increased the water to 3 cups, and added a can of whole corn with liquid because I didn't have creamed. I added a tsp of butter and 1/4 cup cream to make it creamy right before serving. It turned out amazing!

Milk is one of the most consumed food items all over the world, which makes it the duty of dairy owners to give the best milk to the consumers. One of the processes is milk processing which is very important and in this guide, we will tell you about its importance.
So you have been running your milk plant for a long time. You dairy farm include around 50 to 300 cows, sheep, and goats. Are you looking to expand your dairy business? If yes, then you should expand the dairy plants.
No doubt, milk is the most consumed food item in India as it helps in providing the essential nutrients which cannot be taken from any other thing.
Expanding the milk processing plants is beneficial as it will generate more profits and you can also get better-quality milk.
If you know about selling raw milk then it is very easy to shift towards packaged milk and other dairy products. By selling raw milk you will get more benefits as it is pasteurized and also it is available in different packages. To sell the packaged milk you need the following equipment in your plant:
- Separator Packing
- Milk Pumps
- Pasteurizer Cream
- Refrigeration System
- Electrical Fittings
- Storage Tanks
- Hot Water Generator
- Control Panel
Well, each of the milk processing machines has its importance. It includes various units and they perform different functions which are mentioned below.
The separators are important tool which are used in milk production of advanced level. It is helpful when from milk cream need be separated so that skimmed milk can be taken. Well, it is not necessary that the separators should be only at a high level, so they can be used by small scale industry also.
According to the milk which is processed in your plant you can buy the separator of different capacities.
This is very beneficial for homogenization of milk and it should be done with proper standards so that the milk is the best quality. It is available in different capacities along with various power consumption models which start from 500L/H, & 3KW.
100-200 BAR is the working pressure for all of them.
Different types of tanks are available which are made of stainless steel so that milk can be stored properly and it should not get contaminated. Mostly processing tanks and storage tanks are used.
To sell the packaged milk this part is also very essential as it helps in delivering the milk which is safe to consume. The process help is destroying the microorganism. So make sure you buy the tools and equipment from a trustworthy company.

Feed presentation options in Swine early fattening mitigates Salmonella shedding and specifically modulates the faecal microbiota
- Lebel, P., Letellier, A., Longpré, J., Laplante, B., Yergeau, E., Fravalo, P.
- Journal of applied microbiology 2017 v.122 no.1 pp. 30-39
- Bifidobacterium, Salmonella, bacteria, diet, feces, finishing, mash, particle size, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, seroconversion, swine
- AIMS: The object of this study was to determine the impact of only modifying the processing and/or particle size of pig feed on Salmonella shedding and faecal microbiota. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pigs were fed a diet that varied only by their processing (pellet or mash) and their particle size (500, 750 or 1250 μm) for 21 days. Salmonella detection in faeces and seroconversion were determined. Faecal microbiota was assessed by Ion Torrent amplicon sequencing and real‐time PCR. Significantly fewer pigs (P < 0·05) shed Salmonella in the groups fed mash 500 (1) and mash or pellet 1250 (5 each) compared to the commercial reference group (15) fed pellet 500. Both mash processing and large particle size raised the proportion and number of bacteria from the Bifidobacterium genus in the faecal microbiota of the pigs. Thirteen other taxa significantly varied (P < 0·0005) with feed presentation. CONCLUSION: Mash processing and/or large particle size in pig feed reduces Salmonella shedding prevalence and promotes beneficial populations of digestive microbiota. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study is the first to demonstrate a difference in Salmonella shedding through only modifying pig feed presentation and is the first to extensively describe modifications of faecal microbiota.

Battery and supercapacitor are often compared together because they are usually used as energy storage components, but there are many differences in key parameters of energy storage and battery management systems. This article makes a detailed comparison between supercapacitor vs battery, and how to choose them in different application scenarios.
1. The difference between the working principle of supercapacitor vs battery
Supercapacitor vs battery, they are both electrical energy storage systems. Lithium-ion batteries rely on chemical reactions and consist of cathode and anode. These two sides are submerged in a liquid electrolyte and separated by a microporous separator that allows only ions to pass through. During charging and discharging of lithium batteries, ions tend to flow back and forth between the anode and cathode. As these ions transfer, they cause the battery to heat up, expand, and then shrink. These reactions gradually degrade the battery, resulting in shortened battery life.
However, a significant advantage of lithium battery technology is that it has a very high specific energy, or energy density, and can store energy for later use. Compared supercapacitor vs battery, supercapacitors are different in that they don't rely on chemistry to function. Instead, it stores electrical energy electrostatically in it. A supercapacitor uses a dielectric, or insulator, between its plates to separate the positive and negative charges that build up on each side of the plates. It is this separation that allows the device to store energy and release it quickly. It basically captures static electricity for future use.
The most significant advantage of doing this is that today's 3V capacitors will still be 3V capacitors in 15-20 years. In contrast, lithium-ion batteries may lose voltage capacity over time and repeated use. Also, compared supercapacitor vs battery, a supercapacitor has a higher power throughput, which means it can be charged and discharged in a very short amount of time. Still, it has a very low specific energy compared to batteries. Supercapacitors are most suitable for applications with small capacity but high power bursts.
2. Supercapacitor vs battery - differences in energy storage applications
● Charging and discharging
Supercapacitors basically do not undergo chemical reactions during charging and discharging, do not use heavy metals, and this energy storage process is reversible. Because of this, one of the main characteristics of a supercapacitor is that there is no practical limit to its charging capacity, it can be repeatedly charged and discharged hundreds of thousands of times, it has a long cycle life, and it is more environmentally friendly and clean.
Compared supercapacitor vs battery energy storage, battery energy storage system is more of a chemical reaction process, and has a higher energy density than capacitor-based electrostatic energy storage. But with current battery chemistries, lithium and lead-acid types only last a few years and decay rapidly as chemistry reacts and operating and storage conditions change.
● Working temperature
Batteries are susceptible to operating temperature fluctuations that affect their normal operation. The typical operating temperature range of the battery is -20°C to +40°C, but it is prone to thermal runaway, which reduces the efficiency and may even bring great safety hazards. Compared supercapacitor vs battery, supercapacitors typically have lower internal resistance, so very little energy is wasted as heat.
Supercapacitors basically do not undergo chemical reactions, and greatly reduce the possibility of thermal runaway. Various reasons make supercapacitors have a wider operating temperature range, which can reach -40°C to +85°C, and have better thermal stability and efficiency, which can improve the safety and reliability of electronic products.
● Power density
Power density is directly related to the charge and discharge rate and discharge time of energy storage technology. From the perspective of charge and discharge capabilities between supercapacitor vs battery, supercapacitors can choose a variety of charging methods such as constant current, and because their power density is several times higher than that of batteries, their charging rate is also higher, and they can be charged and discharged in seconds. And the battery will take hours.
● Battery management system
A battery management system (BMS) is critical to ensure proper charging and discharging. These systems do this by monitoring, controlling, and optimizing battery temperature, voltage, current, state of charge, and more. In recent years, battery technology has become more and more complex, its applications have become wider and wider, and the requirements for safety have become more and more stringent. Correspondingly, the requirements for battery management systems have also increased.
The inherent stability of supercapacitor module technology greatly reduces the complexity of the management system. Different supercapacitor vs battery, supercapacitor modules can be pre-installed with balancing circuits, and unlike BMSs, they require no external control or monitoring, making their application simpler and less costly, overcoming the limitation of charging life.
3. Supercapacitor vs battery - how to choose in different scenarios
Since supercapacitors and batteries have their own advantages, in practical applications, we can choose one or even combine them according to the demand for energy storage.
● Internet of things terminal equipment
High power density and small size energy storage can meet the demand brought by the increase in the number of IoT terminal devices. Compared supercapacitor vs battery, the life of supercapacitors is about 2-4 times that of batteries, and there is almost no risk of thermal runaway, which meets the operating life requirements of IoT nodes.
● Data center and industrial plant
Supercapacitors are characterized by high quality, long life and environmental protection, suitable for backup power applications in data centers, industrial plants, medical and other mission-critical activities. Compared supercapacitor vs battery, supercapacitors have less wear and tear, no thermal runaway, and the battery management system BMS is simpler.
● Electronic communication equipment
Supercapacitors can be used as a single energy storage, or form a hybrid energy storage system with battery technology, which can achieve 1+1>2. Supercapacitors can provide stable and reliable power for many applications in electronic communications that require short bursts of power, such as mobile phones.
● New energy vehicles
The characteristics of supercapacitors such as high power output and ability to accept high current charge and discharge, combined with the high energy density characteristics of batteries, can better meet the stringent requirements of electric vehicles for energy storage. The combination of the two can meet the various power requirements of the internal system of the electric vehicle, share the power output of the lithium battery, improve the life of the electric vehicle, improve efficiency and save energy.
In the long run, supercapacitor vs battery still shine in different fields due to their respective advantages, and their selection will ultimately be determined according to the actual needs of customers. But it is undeniable that the emergence and rapid development of supercapacitors have solved the difficulties encountered in some current applications.

Welcome to the world of Grumpy Sheep Music. We create fun, educational musicals and songbooks that are loved by primary and pre-school children (and their teachers!) throughout the world.
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, in the North East of England, Grumpy Sheep Music began publishing children’s music in 2000. The company was created by Caroline Hoile, one of the foremost children’s songwriters in the UK. Caroline has a wealth of experience behind her, both in education and as a popular, established writer and composer of musicals for young children. She is also a qualified music therapist.
Since the late 1980's, through Golden Apple productions, Caroline has had a whole range of children's musicals published. These include well-known titles such a 'The Little Angel', 'The Gigantic Star' and the renowned 'Grumpy Sheep.'
Grumpy Sheep Musicals are written with great care. Although they are aimed at younger children, Caroline expressly uses rich ideas which inevitably have a simple moral or ideal running through them, uniquely blended with a strong, dramatic story line.
The original songs, which interlace each musical, are instantly attractive; they are fun to learn, have uplifting melodies, and are just so catchy! Each musical has an accompanying professionally produced CD by Martin Hoile, featuring both the songs and vibrant backing tracks.
From small beginnings, Grumpy Sheep Music now supplies musicals, Christmas nativities and songbooks to thousands of primary schools and nurseries throughout the UK and abroad, as well as music and book shops, church groups, theatre groups and individuals.
