This is made from Australian red coolibah. 11”x6”x2”. I love doing these style of winged bowls. While they aren’t very useful, they sure look cool.

Although the malice that prompted the insertion of this false engagement notice was aimed at three people only - Solly Bridgetower, a junior instructor in English at Waverly University; Pearl Vambrace, the subdued daughter of a domineering professor; and Gloster Ridley, the anxiety-ridden editor of the Evening Bellman - the leaven of malice will change permanently, for good or ill, the lives of many of the citizens of Salterton.

Gentle part 2 of trilogy
Set in the late fifties or early sixties in an imagined Canadian university town the characters leave us wanting to "read" part three.
Characters and motivations, misunderstandings and assumptions and the folly that ensues.
Performance was good as it was for the first book in the series. The only flaw was a technical one- from time to time (say 4 times in the book) the audio levels dropped briefly and then returned to normal.
No thanks! Far better to be a fly on the wall.

Crystal River Citrus County Florida real estate scam
Before even considering buying the log cabin at 621 S. Log Haven, Crystal River, Florida 34429 - now offered on ebay - by Birgit Hutchcroft / Baywater Holding LLC - see the complaints on this forum ( search "birgit hutchcroft") and the website www.dfwx.com/logcabin.htm .
The website has actual photos of the property as it REALLY is, tells of the numerous false representations, the actual appraisals of it, horrific problems in terms of illegal construction, code violations, ordinance violations and serious toxic mold report plus liens and more.
Also search birgit hutchcroft online overall.
The listing on ebay has MANY misleading and false statements in addition to all that is not disclosed. The property may actually be worth far less than owned on it and potentially less than $0 , depending how much it costs to make the property safe to live in and legal.
Don't even think about buying unless you see it in person, explore Citrus County Code Enforcement inspection records, see the actual appraised values for 2004 to 2009, explore county records for liens, have a title company run the property, have a title policy and use conventional financing.
NEVER buy property in Florida under "quit claim deeds," "owner financing", "contract for deed" and certainly NO contract that does not go through a title company as a recorded contract and ALWAYS have YOUR attorney - not the sellers - review the contract AFTER a SURVEy of the actual legal property description on the contract.
If you just wish everything is right dreaming of the perfect house you could lose everything you have.

The effect of subchronic supplementation with folic acid on homocysteine induced seizures
Krstić, Danijela Z.
Čolović, Mirjana B.
Đurić, Dragan M.
MetadataShow full item record
Influence of folic acid on the CNS is still unclear. Folate has a neuroprotective effect, while on the other hand excess folate can exacerbate seizures in epileptics. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of subchronic administration of folic acid on behavioural and electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics of DL homocysteine thiolactone induced seizures in adult rats. The activity of Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in different brain regions was investigated. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into groups: 1. Controls (C, 0.9% NaCl); 2. DL homocysteine-thiolactone 8.0 mmol/kg (H); 3. Subchronic supplementation with folic acid 5 mg/kg for 7 days (F) and 4. Subchronic supplementation with F + single dose of H (FH). Seizure behaviour was assessed by incidence, latency, number and intensity of seizure episodes. Seizure severity was described by a descriptive scale with grades 0-4. For EEG recordings, three gold-plated recording electrodes were implanted into the skull.... Subchronic supplementation with folic acid did not affect seizure incidence, median number of seizure episodes and severity in FH, comparison with H (p GT 0.05). The majority of seizure episodes in all groups were of grade 2. There were no significant differences in lethal outcomes at 24 h upon H injection in the FH vs. H group. The activity of Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase was significantly increased in almost all examined structures in the FH vs. H group. Subchronic folic acid administration did not exacerbate H induced seizures and completely recovered the activity of ATPases.

The Music Program affords students the opportunity to develop their skills, literacy, and knowledge of music in its many forms, while fostering the learning and growth of all students through the process of creating, exploring, and engaging with music.


"Telkomsel continues to strengthen the digital connectivity pillars, which is a key in the development and utilization of digital platforms and services for Indonesian people," Telkomsel Network Director Nugroho noted in a press release, as quoted here on Friday.
According to Nugroho, the VoLTE network technology will empower an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem.
"It will also open more opportunities for people while conducting their daily activities and increase their productivity through the use of the latest technology," he explained.
The coverage expansion of the VoLTE network is Telkomsel's efforts to expedite the transition of 2G and 3G networks to 4G or LTE, he pointed out.
He affirmed that VoLTE services promise smoother, faster, and clearer phone calls than conventional calls or Voice over IP (VoIP) calls.
VoLTE also allows users to have high-definition voice calls while accessing the internet at the same time, Nugroho explained.
"Next, the Video Ring Back Tone (RBT) service can be implemented when customers make voice or video phone calls on VoLTE networks," he remarked.
Related news: Ministry highlights synergy in five policy aspects to support 5G
Telkomsel's VoLTE service currently covers 219 districts and cities. Telkomsel, as the Telkom Group's sub-holding, has targeted 230 districts and cities to be covered by 2021-end.
Nugroho affirmed that the acceleration of VoLTE services' expansion increased by about 350 percent since the start of the year. Users of the service have also increased by about 80.9 percent since the start of 2021.
He noted that the expansion was directly proportional to the collaboration with smartphone device partners that support VoLTE.
Telkomsel's VoLTE service can currently be used on more than 100 types of mobile phones, including Advan, Evercross, Huawei, Oppo, Realme, Samsung, Vivo, and Xiaomi brands, he stated.
VoLTE is also Telkomsel's commitment to building a scalable 5G ecosystem. Nugroho informed that Telkomsel is the first mobile operator in Indonesia to offer commercial 5G services.
Telkomsel sees a wide range of potential from the VoLTE capabilities, which are interactive calling and interoperable communication, he remarked.
Thus, much higher quality voice services will be offered while using 5G networks, he added.

The Turkey Devonshire is a sandwich that comes from Pittsburgh, it was created by Frank Blandi. This delightful sandwich is made of crisp bacon, slices of turkey, slices of tomato, and are covered in cheese sauce before being popped into the oven to become nice and toasty.
Armstrongs is a well-known Pittsburgh restaurant noted for good food, big portions, and tasty sandwiches. The Turkey Devonshire is an open-faced sandwich that comes from Pittsburgh. This satisfying hearty sandwich is made with turkey, crisp bacon, and tomato slices. It is covered in a rich, creamy cheese sauce before being popped under the broiler to become bubbly and toasty.
Some years ago, I spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh for work. I hate to tell you how many of these sandwiches I ate! I just couldnt resist this kind of comfort food. This is the perfect sandwich to make for brunch the day after Thanksgiving when you have leftover turkey.
History of Turkey Devonshire
Pittsburghers have been eating the Devonshire Sandwich in its many variations since 1934. Thats when Frank Blandi opened his first restaurant and created the Devonshire. The sandwich was such a success that Blandi had to make the sauce in five-gallon batches. The basic ingredients of the original Devonshire were slices of turkey and strips of crispy bacon. Blandi went on to offer variations on the main theme (the cheese sauce) chicken, crab, shrimp, asparagus.
Origin possibly comes from the Kentucky Hot Brown
The Devonshire Turkey Sandwich is similar to the Kentucky Hot Brown Turkey Sandwich, which originated at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. The main difference is in the cheese the Hot Brown is usually made with parmesan, romano, or Swiss, while an authentic Turkey Devonshire is made with cheddar.
For this sandwich, you will need some hearty bread, if you can use some thin-sliced Italian bread, I have also made this with Sourdough bread. You also need turkey, left-over turkey is the best, you can use deli turkey in a pinch, dont let that stop you from making the sandwich. Grab your favorite bacon and some fresh tomatoes. The cheese sauce is the star of this sandwich. Dont worry, the recipe for the cheese sauce is down below.
Assembling the Sandwich
You will need to place the sandwich in an oven-proof dish, we will pop this into the oven and brown the top, so the oven-proof dish is a must.
Place the bread on the bottom, top with turkey, then tomatoes, ladle the cheese sauce on top of everything, and add a sprinkle of paprika, and a couple of slices of bacon.
You will place this sandwich in under the broiler just until the cheese beings to brown, and then you will have the most delightful sandwich!

Armstrong's Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
Enjoy this classic sandwich that is well-known in Pittsburg. This open-faced turkey sandwiched is piled with sliced turkey, crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, and a rice cheese sauce.
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 8 ounces shredded Cheddar Cheese (I recommend a sharp Cheddar, Tilamook )
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 5 slices bacon (cooked)
- 4 slices Italian bread (lightly toasted)
- 4 slices tomato
- 1/2 pound turkey breast
Preheat the broiler.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter and sprinkle in flour. Cook the butter and flour mixture over medium heat for about one minute cook until the flour begins to smell nutty. Add 1 cup of chicken broth, and 1 cup of milk and stir until the sauce thickens.
Add Cheddar and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the hot burner, stir occasionally as you assemble the sandwich to keep a skin from forming on the top of the sauce.
Toast the bread.
Build sandwich by laying a piece of toasted bread into a pie pan, top with turkey, then tomato. Ladle cheese sauce over the sandwich. Sprinkle some paprika on top.
Place two slices of bacon crisscrossed on the cheese sauce.
Broil until the cheese begins to brown.
You can add a couple fo dashed of hot sauce to the cheese if desired.
Tomatoes may be ommitted.

The numbers: The trade deficit in goods narrowed 3.7% to $64.8 billion in May, according to the government’s advanced report released Wednesday. This was well below the $69.2 billion estimate of economists polled by MarketWatch and the second decline in a row.
The government’s advanced report on wholesale inventories showed a 0.5% gain in May. Advanced retail inventories rose 0.4%.
The trade gap in goods excludes services. The advance report is seen as an accurate signal of trade patterns because the service sector surplus rarely changes much from month to month.
What happened: Both imports and exports rose in May but exports rose at a much faster pace. Exports were up 2.1% while imports rose only marginally, up 0.2%. The narrowing of the deficit in goods points to a smaller overall trade deficit in May. The government will release overall trade numbers for May next week.
Big picture: Despite the improvement in the deficit in May, the U.S. is on trade to post another high deficit in 2018. The narrowing of the trade deficit in May is likely to give a boost to gross domestic product in the second quarter.
What are they saying: “The deficit is back to the pre-hurricane level. Imports still look high relative to the pre-hurricane trend, a June dip is a decent bet,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.

The authentic recipe is in response to someone who asked "how do you make Mexican cornbread?". First off, I must say that this recipe is not as hard to make as you might think. In fact the recipe is super easy to prepare and the cornbread with come out tasting absolutely delicious.
I prepare this recipe a few times a year and especially like to bring this dish along to family gathers and serve it right beside all the other favorite foods.
Are you ready to prepare some Mexican cornbread that is soft, mouthwatering, and deliciously good? Well let's get started with the recipe below.
This recipe was submitted by an anonymous visitor on November 17, 2009.
1-1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1-1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup corn kernels
2 jalapenos (diced)
1/8 cup onions (diced)
1 lime (juiced)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
One 8" or 9" cast-iron skillet
Now Follow the directions for fixing this Mexican Cornbread Recipe.
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Soak corn and onions in the lime juice.
3. Put oil into skillet, being sure to coat entire inner surface of skillet, and then place skillet into warming oven. (This achieves 2 goals: The oil is thinned prior to adding it to the batter, and the skillet is already hot when you add the complete mixture, ensuring a crisp outer edge.)
4. After 15 minutes strain corn and onion from lime juice.
5. Mix together all dry ingredients. Mix in the milk, eggs, corn, jalapenos, and onions.
6. Making sure the skillet and oil are quite hot, but not smoking (about 5 minutes in the warming oven), steadily pour and stir in the hot oil into the rest of the batter. You want to stir as the oil is being poured, or you may risk burning the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the now hot pan. If you're lucky, it will spatter as it hits the hot iron.
8. After batter is in pan place into oven about 20-24 minutes. The top should be golden-brown and cracking a bit from rising. After taking it out of the oven and while still hot spread the butter and drizzle the honey over the top.
9. Allow the cornbread enough time to soak the honey and butter in before serving.
For a different twist try adding an can of Rotel tomatoes and browned and drain ground pork or beef. I hope you enjoy my Mexican Cornbread Recipe


With the sound of flute-fuelled rap still ringing in our ears, we hit play on 'Stefania' once again, and take a yellow and blue hued glimpse back over the eclectic history of Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Since making its debut at the Contest in 2003, Ukraine has competed at Eurovision 17 times.
Of those 17 Contests, Ukraine has placed outside the Top 10 of the Grand Final only six times.
One of those times was in Ukraine’s first participation, in 2003. Since becoming the first artist to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest, singer Oleksandr Ponomariov has gone on to release a Best Of album called Golden Hits. Incidentally, Golden Hits is also the name of a popular karaoke bar and cabaret club in Stockholm, owned by Richard Herrey, who won the Contest for Sweden in 1984 as part of the group Herreys.
The following year, 2004, saw the introduction of the Semi-Final round at the Eurovision Song Contest. Ukraine is the only country to have qualified from the Semi-Final to the Grand Final of every Eurovision it has competed in.
Ukraine won the Eurovision Song Contest on only its second attempt, in 2004. Ruslana brought her country victory with the song Wild Dances.
Subsequent to her Eurovision win, Ruslana served as an MP in Ukrainian parliament for over a year, was hired by UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador, and was honoured with an International Women of Courage Award by the US Secretary of State in 2014.
In 2005, Ukraine hosted its first Eurovision Song Contest (the Contest’s 50th!) in the country’s capital, Kyiv. The city would go on to host the Contest a second time in 2017.
15 years on, and no Eurovision party is truly complete without a spin of Verka Serduchka’s iconic Dancing Lasha Tumbai; preferably within the smaller hours of the fiesta, for maximum effect. The song, which finished runner-up for Ukraine at the 2007 Contest, has to date amassed over ten million streams on Spotify alone. That’s a lot of aux-chord passing, right there.
The following year, in 2008, Ukraine achieved a second runner-up finish in a row at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade. Did you know that the artist Ani Lorak isn’t actually called Ani at all? The Shady Lady’s real name is Karolina, which is Ani Lorak spelled backwards.
One year later, Svetlana Loboda scored one of those rare placings outside the Top 10 for Ukraine, with Be My Valentine. But over a decade on from her participation at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2009, the artist (now known mononymously as LOBODA) has gone on to earn cult status amongst pop fans around the world, thanks to a recent slew of boundary-pushing singles and the eye-popping music videos she releases to accompany them.
As well as serving as Ukraine’s Eurovision entry in 2012, Be My Guest by Gaitana was also the official song for Ukraine at the UEFA Euro 2012 football tournament, which was co-hosted by Ukraine (along with Poland) for the very first time.
The second Eurovision winning song for Ukraine, 1944 by Jamala, also had the honour of being the second triumph for Ukraine that had won the Contest with a record-breaking points tally at the time. Wild Dances' 280 and 1944's 534 were all-time high scores in 2004 and 2016 respectively.
He represented Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest with Under The Ladder in 2018, and now Mélovin is the reigning champ of The Masked Singer Ukraine. He won series 2 of Macka under his Giraffe guise in December 2021.
In the Contest that never was, in 2020, Go_A were due to compete for Ukraine with their song Solovey. The band were invited back to participate in the 2021 Contest in Rotterdam, this time with Shum, with which they placed 5th in the Grand Final. Band member Ihor Didenchuk is also a member of Kalush Orchestra, who won the contest for Ukraine in 2022.
With Stefania, Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ukraine with 631 points. The 439 points received by Ukraine from the televote in the Grand Final are the most televoting points received in the Contest’s history to date. Ukraine was just 29 points away from receiving the maximum possible score from the televoting.
Now on its third win, Ukraine is the country with the most wins of the 21st Century, and the only nation to have won the Eurovision Song Contest three times since the year 2000 ushered us into a new millennium.
In the 17 Contests Ukraine has competed in, as well as its impressive three wins, the country can also be proud of a scorecard that has seen it placed in the Top 10 on 11 occasions and in the Top 5 on eight attempts.
We already look forward to the next 17 years – and beyond – of music contributions from a country that has well and truly left its mark on the Eurovision Song Contest in the 21st Century, since its very welcome debut in 2003.

Ron Paul plans Tampa party
Much of the $2.5 million Paul’s presidential campaign had at the end of July will be directed toward a Paul-led event in Tampa, campaign spokesman Jesse Benton said.
“Our team has been very busy working to plan our ‘Rally for the Liberty Delegates’ event in Tampa and setting up our convention plans, including the fight to seat as many of our delegates as possible,” Benton said in an email.
According to the “Rally for the Liberty Delegates” Facebook page, the event will take place Aug. 26 for most of the day at the University of South Florida’s Sun Dome.
Federal records filed Friday show Paul still running a skeleton campaign operation in July, spending about $400,000 primarily on salaries, meals, office supplies, telemarketing and travel – not unlike the campaigns of the candidates still in the race.
The Texas congressman’s solid finances stand in stark contrast to those of also-ran Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, both of whom have reported seven-figure debt.

In the Collier Hills neighborhood of Buckhead, resident Melissa Libby helped spearhead the installation of a Little Free Library at Louise G. Howard Park. Little Free Libraries are a “take a book, return a book” movement that started in Wisconsin in 2009.
The library itself is a two-tiered box set up on a post with adult books on the top level and children’s books on the lower level.
“People donate books to get it started,” Libby said. “The idea is if you’re out taking a run or walking through the park with your kid in a stroller, you can just take a take a book out. And if you have a book at your house that you loved and you don’t want it anymore, then you put the book in.”
The library opened May 11 and was dedicated to Tracy Downer, a former neighbor who was killed in a car crash two years ago.
“She had two little kids, and she loved to read,” Libby said.
The location of the library post is in a pavilion area of the park, also dedicated to Downer, which was formed by local members of the Greystone Garden Club.
Libby said in the first month of the library’s existence, it has been put to good use.
“At first I thought no one’s using it, but then I started looking at the titles and I realized the titles were changing,” she said.
Sandy Springs resident Kissy Dabbs and her daughters Liza, 7, and Clara, 8, decided they wanted to open community libraries after hosting a children’s book swap in their basement last summer for neighbors and friends.
“We really want all of the kids in our community to become familiar with books, to have them in their homes, to enjoy them, to re-read them,” Dabbs said.
Teaming up with the Sandy Springs Education Force, a nonprofit that supports public schools and students, the Dabbs family started a Mini Libraries Program. They found used magazine boxes on Craigslist, which they repurposed to house the stocks of children’s books that range from board books for preschoolers to chapter books for fifth-graders.
The libraries, which opened in mid-May, are located in the lobbies of Ison Springs and Lake Forest elementary schools in Sandy Springs. Users are encouraged to take up to two books, and they can keep them for their home libraries or share them with others, Dabbs said. She said the program has been a success so far.
“We only have campers coming in [the school buildings] and then people coming in for testing and registration, and we’ve distributed over 700 books,” Dabbs said.
Each week, she and her daughters – and sometimes their friends – replenish the stock using books from their home collection or donations.
While this is a pilot program, Dabbs said she has six more library boxes ready to go and families lined up to sponsor the libraries.
“Initially the idea was that we really wanted this to be a summer supplement, but … I think we are going to ask to keep them in there year-round,” she said.
Dabbs said she would like to see the program expand with more Spanish-language and bilingual books, regular story-time sessions and opportunities for children to write book reports and have them published in a newsletter.
Community libraries can be found at the following locations:
Louise G. Howard Park: intersection of Collier Road and Overbrook Drive, Buckhead
Ison Springs Elementary School: 8261 Ison Road, Sandy Springs
Lake Forest Elementary School: 5920 Sandy Springs Circle, Sandy Springs

Human rights activists expressed disbelief Saturday that police were investigating a banner opposing the Saudi takeover Newcastle United.
The probe into Crystal Palace fans’ decision to highlight the Gulf state’s human rights atrocities was described as ‘remarkable’.
The banner accused the Saudi regime, backers of the multi-million-pound takeover, of murder, terrorism and beheadings and took a swipe at the Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test.
The Holmesdale Fanatics, a Crystal Palace fan group, met at Newcastle’s Saudi owners.
Directors Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi, were both present at Selhurst Park
‘The banner is the type of cutting political satire that the UK can rightly be proud of,’ Nicholas McGeehan, director of human rights consultancy FairSquare, said.
‘The Crystal Palace fans who made it deserve nothing but credit. We should not be repressing our hard-fought rights and freedoms to spare the feelings of the Saudi state or the Newcastle fans who desperately want to believe that criticism of the Saudis’ human rights abuses is racist.’
The banner featured caricatures of Richard Masters, chief executive of Premier League, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (chair of the investment fund that bought Newcastle).
‘It clearly attributes the abuses to the Saudi state and not to Saudis in general,’ McGeehan said.
‘But if people are going to be offended when people satirise that in a creative way, there is nothing for the police to be investigating.’
Police said they had received complaints the mural was ‘offensive’. ‘Officers are carrying out enquiries,’ said Croydon Metropolitan Police. ‘Allegations of racist abuse will be taken seriously.’
The Holmesdale Fanatics, a Crystal Palace fan group, condemned Newcastle’s recent takeover and displayed the banner in the stands during the match between the two sides.
Newcastle and Palace played out a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park. However, the visitors earned their first Premier League goal of their new era. However, the most notable action was on the pitch.
Newcastle’s Saudi-led owners were the subject a protest by a section Palace fans. They criticized the Premier League’s decision not to allow the takeover and called attention to the actions taken by the Saudi regime.
The statement stated that the ‘Saudi-led takeover of Newcastle has been widely condemned and angered. It is clear that the P.I.F serves as a front to the tyrannical Saudi regime. Premier League made a mockery out of its own Owners and Directors’ test by endorsing this.
“The Premier League has chosen to do business with one the most bloody and oppressive regimes in this world, and has thus endorsed this deal.
‘A country controlled and controlled by fear, where women are second-class citizens, homosex partnerships banned, journalists silenced or imprisoned or killed, and dissidents’ brutally persecuted now has an advantage in our national game.
‘To give the thumbs up to this deal when the Premier League promotes the women’s sport and inclusive initiatives such rainbow armbands is hypocritical and demonstrates that the League’s soulless agenda in which profits trump all is an example of the League’s hypocrisy.
Holmesdale Fanatics lambasted the Premier League’s total hypocrisy’ for allowing this takeover
‘Newcastle is now being used as a team to sportswash the blood of corrupt governance. Deluded fans should consider this reality when singing about ‘getting their club back.
“We are blessed to live in a country like this. We can proudly display it without fear. Many people in Saudi Arabia would love to have those banners.
Newcastle advised fans not to wear Arabic attire to matches earlier in week, after hundreds of supporters did the same at St. James’ Park against Tottenham in their first match after the takeover.
Kick It Out announced they were planning to meet Newcastle, and encourage fans to refrain from wearing tea towels on the heads in celebration of their new owners.
Newcastle has retracted their statement about Muslim fans attending matches wearing Arabic clothing
The club stated that they asked supporters not to wear traditional Middle East-inspired or Arabic headcovers at matches.
They have since retracted that statement in a new statement. It seems that the club’s new owners see fans’ attire as a warm welcome, and a way to show support.
The club stated that fans who had worn culturally traditional clothing including head covers have been part of the welcome.
“Those who wish support the club by wearing appropriate culturally inspired clothing should feel free do so as they please. We welcome all.
“To reiterate what we have said before, neither the club nor its owners were offended that attire was worn, and we appreciate the overt statements made by our great fans of support and acceptance.


A few years after I graduated college, I got a Christmas present from one of my band members. It was a book detailing some of the stories behind the songs that were written for the church throughout the ages. I remember liking it so much that I read almost all of it in one sitting.
I believe this book became popular at the time because people naturally connect with stories. Stories have a way of making a song come alive. It helps the listener to sympathize and maybe even empathize with the writer.
One of my Favorite Stories
This is exactly what happened to me when I first heard Pictures at an Exhibition at the age of 9. Pictures at an Exhibition was originally written for piano by Modest Mussorgsky and later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. I actually came to know and love the orchestral version long before I heard the original.
I listened to “Pictures” as I called it over and over again. It was as if the music never got old. The piece, which is around 30 minutes long, was just long enough to fit on one side of the 60-minute cassette tape in my walkman.
As I listened to it, I remember looking in my mom and dad’s encyclopedias to see what I could learn about the piece’s stories. This was long before Google! I also asked my dad, a musician, if he could tell me what he knew about it. It wasn’t until my college years that I really dug into the piece and its meaning.
The Story Behind Pictures
Pictures at an Exhibition tells the story of a rather large man who is visiting an art gallery. Each movement represents a different room that he walks through.
The piece is not only inspired by a story, it is programmatic. This means that the melodies, harmonies, rhythms and corresponding musical parts all work together to illustrate a story. Here’s a high-level breakdown of each movement.
Featuring the brass section, the melody is weighty and deliberate just like the cadence of a man walking slowly through a room would be.
No. 2 “The Old Castle”
The Old Castle,” a solemn and lyrical portrayal of a medieval troubadour singing on the grounds of a grand castle;
No. 3 “Tuileries (Children’s Quarrel after Games)”
Tuileries,” a sprightly sketch of children at play in the well-known Tuileries Gardens in Paris;
No. 4 “Cattle”
A ponderous characterization of the lumbering of a large Polish ox cart.
No. 5 “Ballet of Unhatched Chicks”
Represents a costume design by Hartmann for a children’s ballet.
No. 6 “Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuÿle”
Two Jews: One Rich, One Poor” through the interplay of a strident melody in the lower register and a twittering chantlike theme in the upper.
No. 7 “Limoges. The Market (The Great News)”
A folksy and cheerful quality.
No. 8 “Catacombs (Roman Tomb)”
An eerie shadow with ominous chords and variations on the recurring intermezzo.
No. 9 “The Hut on Hen’s Legs (Baba Yaga)”
A nightmarish portrayal of the cackling witch Baba-Yaga on the prowl for her prey. She charges—bounding in a virtuosic passage in octaves—right into the tenth and final picture.
No. 10 “The Bogatyr Gates (In the Capital in Kiev)”
With a depiction of Hartmann’s sketch of a proposed city gate topped by cupolas in which carillons ring, Mussorgsky brings the piece to a majestic close.
I want to encourage you to search for the stories behind the songs you are playing. You may just uncover some amazing facts that will inspire you and open up the piece in new and exciting ways.
For instance, did you know that Beethoven wrote his 9th symphony when he was deaf? Have you heard that Arnold Schoenberg suffered from Triskaidekaphobia, the fear of the number 13 and that he died on Friday the 13th?
Farewell by Haydn
One of my favorite stories is about a piece by Franz Joseph Haydn called Farewell. Haydn, a court composer for Count Esterházy, wrote the piece to convince the count to shorten his prolonged stay at his summer palace.
In the last movement of the symphony, the musicians left one by one, packing their scores and moving offstage, until only two violins were left. After hearing the piece, the count and everyone went home.
When you learn the backstory you often find out some pretty amazing things! Here are some good websites where you can find stories behind composers and their compositions.
Here are some great articles you can read with lots of interesting stories:

For the second time in his Mario Maker career, a well-known Mario Maker creator and speedrunner has had one of creations deleted with little warning or explanation. David "GrandPOOBear" Hunt's level, "Pile of Poo: Kai-Zero G," is a super-hard level that seems to have disappeared for seemingly arbitrary reasons with no apparent appeal process.
In a Twitter post today, Hunt announced his level had been deleted, and in subsequent tweets, shared the email he eventually received from Nintendo. In it, it says its violation is "inappropriate and/or harmful content."
This is the email I received. There is no appeal process.- GrandPOObear (@GrandPOOBear) July 16, 2019
I honestly feel like shit right now and kinda heartbroken. I love this game. I'm a good ambassador for it. Why does Nintendo continue to pick on me? pic.twitter.com/Fp57WPc66b
In an email to USgamer, Hunt says he believes it's due to mass reporting of his level, which was responsible for a similar situation in the first Super Mario Maker that saw most of his levels disappear. Hunt says he hasn't checked yet, but he is "pretty sure" there's no way to reupload the course either; and with no apparent appeal process, it seems like one of the most popular high-level Super Mario Maker 2 courses has been lost the wind for little reason.
When asked about whether this would affect his playing Super Mario Maker 2 in the future, Hunt says he doesn't know yet. "Playing Mario is my job, its my career, so it's not like I can just not play Maker," Hunt says. "But as of this moment I do not have much desire to upload any levels and I would be lying if I said I was excited to play the game today as I was yesterday. I just feel like I got punched in the gut, mostly."
We reached out to Nintendo for comment, but did not receive a response by the time of publication. If you'd like to check out Hunt's level for yourself, you can still watch his narrated playthrough of the level beat-by-beat on his YouTube channel.
Other creators have spoken out in support of Hunt, with some followers offering differing theories for why the level could have been deleted. He has confirmed that in talking to Nintendo representatives in the past, the "POO" in his name is not the issue (it's actually a reference to the character Poo from EarthBound). Another points out the "Yoshi killing machine" section, though that seems equally implausible given that many, many Mario levels involve ditching a Yoshi in a pit at some point.
A level has now disappeared with little reason given and seemingly little recourse to take. The kicker is that this is a big-name streamer, with a prominent presence in the scene. If there's little hope for his level, it makes you wonder how effectively any of Nintendo's systems are for dealing with the wrongful or arbitrary deletion of an average Mario Maker player's levels.

PREFACE: This book is one big confession. A neat drawer for the extensive mess in my head. An attempt to contain the explosion in my chest. It is every word I have ever left unsaid in fear of actually being heard. The love letter that I never sent. The ending that I never wrote. A heartfelt apology to the ones I never meant to hurt. It is every kiss I couldn’t give and every last embrace I never thought I’d always miss.
WORDS FOR LIPS TOO BUSY KISSING is just that- an intimate collection of poetry that articulates what most of us wish we could say if our affections weren’t always getting in the way of our better judgement. In this book, I reflect on my own personal experiences to bring you a poetry book like none before it. My writing style blends rhythmical compositions, aesthetic layouts and carefully chosen diction to bring readers a tangible sense of resolution in the midst of so much confusion.

If you've encountered stunning websites online and wondered how much it costs to build those from scratch, the answer might surprise you. The key to building a jaw-dropping website can be as simple as using the right tools.
Many smaller businesses also don't have the luxury of having in-house design and development teams. That's where Figma comes into play. Figma is a web-based design and prototyping tool combining the best of two worlds.
What, Exactly, is Figma?
Figma is a platform that allows designers and developers to collaborate in real time.
That makes it easy even for distributed teams to work together on projects. The platform is Cloud-based, which means we can access our projects from anywhere, and the tool itself is user-friendly, so you don't need extensive training to get started.
How Figma Works in the Website Development Process
Everything begins with a concept, and a website is the same. It beings with a designer sketching the website's overall look and feel. Once the basic idea is complete, the designer moves it to where it becomes a wireframe.
With the wireframe in place, the designer starts working on the actual design of the website in Figma. Figma has various design tools that allow you to create a custom website. You can add images, text, and other design elements to the website to make it look polished and professional.
Since Figma is collaborative and Cloud-based, you can have design and development teams working together on finalizing your website concept on the fly. When all parties agree, you can export the design as code, and developers will use that to build the complete version of your website.
I, Unh, Sketch a Website With Pen and Paper?
“Sketch” doesn't mean you draw your website with pen and paper, but the concept is similar.
Sketch files are digital files created using a design tool called Sketch. These files contain designs or mockups of a website's layout, including different elements such as text, images, buttons, and other design elements.
Sketching a website is creating a rough draft of a website's design using a sketching tool like Sketch.
It's similar to drawing a blueprint for a building.
Sketching allows designers to quickly create a basic website layout, experimenting with different design ideas and avoiding fine details.
Sketching a website helps designers visualize and refine its layout and design, making it easier to communicate their ideas to other team members. Once the basic structure is in place, the designer can move on to more detailed work, such as creating wireframes.
Ultimately, sketching a website aims to create a solid foundation for the website's design and ensure that it meets the client's needs and expectations.
Trying Out Sketch Samples
If this is your first time working with Sketch and Figma, many free resources are available online. You can try downloading some files and experimenting with them;
Creating a Wireframe in Figma
To convert a website sketch into a wireframe in Figma, your designer must create a new project and select the appropriate device type and screen size. They can then import the sketch file into Figma and use it as a reference for creating the wireframe.
Using Figma's design tools, the designer will create the website's basic structure, including the header, navigation, footer, and other vital elements. They will also develop placeholders for images, text, and other content to show how the website looks and functions.
The designer can then refine the wireframe, adjusting the layout and adding or removing elements. They may also use Figma's prototyping tools to create fundamental interactions and animations to demonstrate how the website will function.
Throughout the process, the designer will continue to refer to the original sketch file to ensure that the wireframe accurately represents the intended design. Once the wireframe is complete, you can share it for feedback and further development.
The workflow to create a wireframe in Figma should be:
- Create a new project in Figma.
- Import any necessary assets.
- Use Figma's design tools to create the basic structure.
- Create placeholders.
- Refine the wireframe.
- Create essential interactions and animations.
- Share the wireframe for feedback.
From Wireframe to Design in Figma
With the wireframe approved, your designers can then work toward building a complete website design. They will use the wireframe as a reference to add more detailed design elements such as fonts, colors, and images.
Designers will also focus on creating a consistent design language across the website. This process means ensuring each page maintains a similar aesthetic and style to create a cohesive brand identity for the website.
Figma offers some excellent tools that can help speed up the process. For example, there are vector editing tools and a library of pre-made components. These include common design elements like buttons, icons, and form fields.
Best Design Tools Included With Figma
By providing a comprehensive suite of design tools, Figma makes it easy for designers to create high-quality designs efficiently and collaboratively. Below are some examples.
- Vector editing tools: Figma allows designers to create and edit vector shapes, which designers can use to create icons, logos, and other design elements.
- Design libraries: Figma's design libraries allow designers to store and share commonly used design elements, such as buttons, icons, and form fields.
- Prototyping tools: Figma's prototyping tools allow designers to create interactive prototypes to test user flows and interactions.
- Collaboration features: Figma's collaboration features allow designers to work together on a design in real time, making getting feedback easier and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
- Version control: Figma's version control system allows designers to track changes to a design over time and revert to previous versions if necessary.
- Plugins: Figma has a robust plugin ecosystem, with plugins available for everything from design automation to workflow management.
- Responsive design tools: Figma's responsive design tools allow designers to create designs that adapt to different screen sizes and device types.
- Export options: Figma offers a variety of export options, making it easy to export designs in the format and resolution needed for development or sharing with clients.
Turning Figma Website Designs Turn into Code
Once the core design gets final approval, the project is almost complete. The remaining work is primarily technical and will build exclusively on the design the management, design, and development teams in Figma approve.
Developers can use Figma's developer handoff feature to extract CSS, HTML, and other code snippets directly from the design. This process makes it easier for developers to ensure that the code matches the design and that the website or product functions as intended.
This step is the easiest part of the process but requires a plugin. Figma doesn't natively allow code export. Thankfully, there are many plugins you can use, many of which are free. Try Clapy or TeleportHQ and see if they work for you.
How Design & Development Work Together in Figma
Although design and development teams often work apart, they must be on the same page to create a unified product. One of the essential features of Figma is how it allows both teams to work together efficiently.
Here's how design and development teams work together in Figma:
Designers Create the Initial Design
Designers start the process by creating wireframes and designs in Figma. They use their tools to create visually appealing designs that meet the client's requirements. Designers can also use Figma's collaboration features to share their work with the development team and get feedback.
Development Teams Use the Designs as a Reference
Once the designs are complete, the development team uses them as a reference to create the website or product. They can use Figma's design specs feature to extract information, such as dimensions, colors, and fonts, to ensure that the website or product is up to specification.
Designers and Developers Work Collaboratively
Throughout the development process, designers and developers work together to ensure that the website or product meets the client's requirements. They can use Figma's collaboration features to communicate and share ideas.
Designers and Developers Review Each Other's Work
Designers and developers can also use Figma to review each other's work. For example, developers can use Figma's commenting feature to provide feedback on the design, while designers can use Figma to review the code and provide feedback on the development process.
Streamlining a Painful Process with Figma
Figma can be a valuable tool for business owners who want to build a new website. Its collaborative features allow for easy communication and feedback among team members, and its design capabilities enable users to create visually appealing and functional website layouts and user interfaces.
From a business perspective, Figma's ability to create interactive prototypes can help business owners test and refine the user experience of their website before development even begins. It's an impressive way to save time, reduce costs, and create a website that meets specific needs and goals.


History teaches a lesson for all to learn
Published 12:00 am Saturday, February 9, 2002
This past week has been very meaningful for me on three separate fronts.
The Alabama Legislature made history by passing unprecedented legislation; I made a trip to what many consider the most historical city in our nation; and I participated in a historic gathering in my senate district.
Being a history major in college, I perhaps attach more meaning to all of these things than many others would, but nonetheless I found all of these activities very stimulating and rewarding.
The legislation passed by the Senate and House of Representatives for the first time successfully reconfigures the state's seven congressional districts. It was necessary to realign these districts because of shifts in populations during the past decade. The new numbers are reflected in the most recent census and have been used to realign the state legislative districts as well.
The new law has to go now to the U.S. Justice Department for review. It must clear federal approval before the scheduled close of party qualifying in early April for the June 4 primary. A bipartisan effort to get this law approved will be led by the Republican Attorney General, Bill Pryor, and his staff.
The bill, as passed by the Alabama Legislature, mainly makes one major change, that being in the third congressional district which is presently being vacated by Congressman Bob Riley who is running for governor of Alabama. Those changes include moving part of Montgomery County into the third district and most of St. Claire County into the fourth district.
A federal judge in Mobile has under consideration a lawsuit filed several weeks ago requesting the court to redraw the districts, but in a public statement on the floor of the legislature, Speaker Seth Hammett said "passage of the bill by both Houses (as we have done) will make the lawsuit moot."
The trip I took was to Philadelphia, Penn., home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention. I got to ring the Liberty Bell, I sat in the chair where John Adams took the oath of office to succeed George Washington as President of the United States, and I observed the chamber where the Declaration of Independence was debated and finally signed in 1776.
I did not fully appreciate the importance of this second inauguration of a president until this past week when I stood on the spot of the inauguration at Independence Hall.
This was the first transfer of power in a peaceful manner between two living individuals in the history of the world. Kings and queens, dictators, czars, emperors, and the like, who, for the most part have ruled nations since the beginning of time, either must die or be killed in order to be replaced, yet our democratic form of government, represented by the transfer of power in the presidency, is novel to America and a free society.
To see the sites where all of this history unfolded and which set the stage for what we have today was a very special experience.
On Saturday evening, I had the privilege of participating in a banquet to help raise funds for young people who desire to go to college or otherwise further their education but have no means to do so. The United Citizens Council of Crenshaw County hosted this dinner and my colleague, Senator Hank Sanders of Selma, was the principal speaker. Senator Sanders delivered a stirring message about the importance of education for our youth.
I was introduced to the group by a charming lady, Helen Saffold, of the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service in Luverne. Helen does an outstanding job for our youth through 4-H and the other programs of the extension system office.
While we are in session, you can reach me at 334-242-7883, and remember, "I'll go with you or I'll go for you" to help you solve any problem related to state government.


In this digital age, music consumption has undergone a significant transformation. Gone are the days of purchasing physical CDs or cassettes, as music lovers now prefer the convenience of downloading their favorite tracks and albums onto their devices. As a result, MP3 download platforms have emerged as the primary medium for accessing and acquiring music. In this article, we will delve into the trends and innovations shaping the MP3 download platform industry, exploring the evolving consumer preferences, technological advancements, and the strategies employed by industry leaders.

5. Collaborations with Artists and Exclusive Releases:
To differentiate themselves and attract users, MP3 download platforms have increasingly formed partnerships with artists. These collaborations often involve exclusive releases, where an artist releases their music exclusively on a particular platform for a limited period. This strategy has proven to be highly effective in driving user acquisition and engagement, as fans flock to the platform to access exclusive content.
6. High-Quality Audio Formats:
While MP3 has long been the standard audio format for downloads, there has been a growing demand for higher audio quality. In response, platforms have begun offering lossless and high-resolution audio formats, such as FLAC and WAV. This trend appeals to audiophiles and music connoisseurs who value superior sound quality and are willing to pay a premium for it.
7. Integration with Smart Devices and Voice Assistants:
The proliferation of smart devices and voice assistants has opened up new avenues for MP3 download platforms. Users can now seamlessly connect their platforms with devices like smart speakers, TVs, and cars, allowing for a hands-free and immersive music experience. This integration has expanded the reach and accessibility of MP3 download platforms, further cementing their position as the go-to source for music consumption.
8. Blockchain Technology and Decentralized Platforms:
Blockchain technology has also found its way into the MP3 download platform industry. Decentralized platforms, powered by blockchain, offer benefits such as transparency, copyright protection, and fair compensation for artists. By eliminating intermediaries and allowing direct artist-to-listener interactions, these platforms are revolutionizing the industry and empowering independent artists.
The MP3 download platform industry has witnessed significant trends and innovations in recent years. The shift towards streaming, rise of subscription-based models, emphasis on personalization and recommendations, integration of social features, collaborations with artists, high-quality audio formats, integration with smart devices, and the emergence of blockchain-powered platforms are shaping the future of music consumption. As technology continues to advance and consumer preferences evolve, MP3 download platforms will undoubtedly continue to adapt and innovate, ensuring that music lovers can access their favorite tunes anytime, anywhere.

It’s cold out, but you have been at work all day, and don’t want to make a big fuss over something warming to eat after dinner.
There are many different versions of this dessert, but I have been making this version for years. When himself was diagnosed as a coeliac I changed to gluten free flour, and they work just as well as regular flour (unlike some of the pastry disasters I have had!).
The beauty of this dessert is that you can prepare ahead and cook when you are ready to eat. Make the dough and leave it aside in the bowl, and mix up the syrup in the pan, and leave that aside too. When you are ready for dessert, it takes little time to bring the syrup to a boil, shape the dough into balls and drop it into the boiling syrup.
If you aren’t a big fan of golden syrup, you can try honey instead, or even maple syrup, but we just love these with golden syrup. You can also vary the size and number of the dumplings if you want, on this occasion I made smaller ones, and more of them (I made 14 little dumplings), just remember to adjust your cooking time if you are making the dumplings smaller than in the recipe.
Golden Syrup Dumplings:
1 cup SR gluten free flour
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp butter, diced finely
1-2 tbsp milk
1 cup water
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp golden syrup
Combine flour and salt. You can either process the butter through, or do it the old fashioned way (I like that way) and rub the butter in with your fingers. Either way, the mixture should resemble breadcrumbs when you are done. Mix in the egg, then enough milk to make a dough.
Mix syrup ingredients in a medium sized heavy based saucepan. Heat until boiling. Shape dough into 8 balls and drop into the syrup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
I like to serve this with cream, although you can try custard or ice-cream if you prefer.

Aim of the PhD Project:
The goal is to:
- Develop tools for spatio-temporal Deep Learning of brain function
- For prediction of neuro-developmental outcome in vulnerable preterm babies,
- And development of biomarkers sensitive to risk of ADHD and Autism
Project Description / Background:
Precision diagnosis of complex cognitive disorders, such as Autism and ADHD, is extremely challenging since such disorders are characterised by a highly heterogeneous range of cognitive and behavioural traits. Such traits are extremely difficult to characterise as they reflect subtle features of the spatio-temporal dynamics of brain activity.
Currently, the most popular technique for analysing resting-state functional imaging data is to perform spatial-ICA (independent component analysis ). This models the brain as a macroscale network, formed from a set of functionally specialised regions, each associated with a time course. Network connectivity is then inferred by estimating similarities between time courses using correlation measures .
Although matrix factorisation approaches such as ICA, have significantly improved our understanding of how brain function relates to behaviour, they smooth out vital sources of inter-subject variation. Specifically, ICA analyses look at the average properties of brain states over time, whereas, it has been shown that many behavioural measures are better predicted by dynamic measures . Further, studies assume a single global average model of cortical organisation; however, there is growing evidence that this is not the case [3,4].
What is required are tools that can learn temporal and spatial features from the data without requirement for prior modelling or spatial normalisation of the data. This problem lends itself to deep learning; we therefore seek to take inspiration from recent works on spatio-temporal convolutional deep learning for natural image processing [5,6], cardiac imaging  and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI ), in order to classify pathological brain states, and support precision diagnosis of neuro-developmental disorders.
Given that studies of cognition require precision analysis of the brain’s surface (or cortex, [9,10]), a key objective will be to extend models to geometric deep learning [11,12], which trains on surface manifolds, rather than 2D or 3D grids. Significant emphasis will also be placed on the development of interpretable models . This will support clinical interpretation.
The most suitable candidate for this project will have programming expertise in Python, and experience in Deep Learning. Experience in working with spatio-temporal data sets or geometric deep learning would be a significant plus.

Each year, around 250’000, predominantly male, calves are fattened on Swiss farms. On the fattening farms, the rate of morbidity, mortality and antibiotic use are high. In this transdisciplinary research project, the rearing conditions on the dairy farms will be improved. The awareness and strategies of milk producers, fatteners, veterinarians and other stakeholders will be investigated with a mixed-methods study. Based on current veterinary research results, a strategy for dealing with calves on the farm of birth ("ImproCalf") will be developed, which is (a) based on scientifically supported reduction of risk factors, (b) including solutions of the stakeholders, and (c) deemed viable.
In an on-farm study, calves will be raised on the farms of their birth and randomly distributed into two groups to be (a) reared the standard way or (b) reared using the ImproCalf-Strategy until their transfer to a fattening farm. The groups will be compared based on performance, morbidity, mortality and the administration of medication. The project is executed as a PhD project.
The overall objective of this project is to improve veal calf health both on (dairy) farms of birth and on veal calf farms. Therefore, we aim to develop and test an improved rearing strategy (“ImproCalf”) for veal calves on dairy farms to enable an optimized starting point when they arrive at the veal calf farms. The strategy will be based on the combination of recent scientific knowledge regarding epidemiology, immunology and pathophysiology of calf diseases and the views, knowledge and needs of (a) dairy, veal calf and cattle fattening farmers, (b) veterinary practitioners specialised in calf health, and (c) further stakeholders such as traders, abattoirs, veal processors, retailers and consumers.
In this project, we will ensure that the ImproCalf strategy contributes to reducing risk factors through the collaboration of social scientists, veterinary scientists, veterinary practitioners, milk producers and veal calf farmers.
This transdisciplinary research approach is implemented because it can address problem fields in such a way that it can grasp the complexity of problems, take into account the diversity of the real-life situations and scientific perceptions of problems and link abstract and case-specific knowledge (Pohl and Hirsch Hadorn, 2008).
The project is designed in three parts: (Part A) state of knowledge, (Part B) producer perspective and ImproCalf strategy development and (Part C) on-farm trials. The project will be extended by additional two parts (Parts D and E) that are complementary to this proposal and for which further funding will be found.
Part A: State of knowledge
In an initial phase of the project, up to 8 semi-structured expert interviews with key informants will be performed to gain an overview of the existing situation with regard to common practices and especially the potential for accepting new methods. The interviews include veterinary practitioners specialised in calf health, veterinary scientists, veal traders, and other relevant stakeholders such as representatives of farmers’ associations (e.g. SKMV, SMP).
Part B: Producer perspective and ImproCalf strategy
Part B will consist of focussed interviews with 15-18 farmers that will be supplemented by a quantitative method: The Q-methodology that reveals different social perspectives. The justification of the methodology and sample size is outlined in the following paragraphs.
The outcomes of Part A and the interviews of Part B will be summarized in a first of its kind scientific manuscript on the socio-economic impacts on calf fatting in Switzerland, and will also contribute to the development of the ImproCalf- strategy. Therefore, in a first confirmatory step, the results of both parts will be presented and dis-cussed during a one-day transdisciplinary workshop with experts from different professions (including farmers, veterinarians, traders, veal processors and retailers) to weight the significance and feasibility of the different proposed measures for improving calves health from different perspectives.
Part C: On-farm trials
In this on-farm study, male calves (which are intended for transfer to veal calf productions) on dairy farms will be raised:
We will select dairy farms that keep high-yielding breeds such as Holstein Friesian, Red Holstein, Brown Swiss or Swiss Fleckvieh and have an average milk yield of > 7’000 kg/cow per year. After their first few weeks on the dairy farm, the calves will be transported directly from the dairy farm to the veal calf farm under optimal conditions (tempered transport, less than 4 hours of transporting). The respective veal calf farms will be professional farms with high management standards, and will fatten the project calves under comparable conditions. Both groups (standard protocol and ImproCalf strategy) will be compared based on performance, morbidity, mortality and the administration of medication. To ensure a close cooperation, all project farms will be visited frequently. Furthermore, all farm veterinarians (a) will be informed about and (b) have to agree with the project aims.

Trappers who work for the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) are searching for a wolf that killed livestock in Rich County, Utah last weekend. The owner found the livestock carcass on Monday and, after a trapper examined the animal, it was determined that it was killed four days before, KSL News reports.
Leann Hunting, director of animal industry for UDAF, explained that trappers are located throughout the state and “are hired to protect livestock and wildlife.” If an animal dies because of depredation, trappers are “called to locate the animal.” While lethal removal is not always the outcome, because the livestock was killed, trappers plan to “eradicate the predator.”
“It is our job then to track the wolf or trap it and take care of the problem so it doesn’t continue to depredate livestock and our wildlife populations,” said Hunting. “It’s also important to have it done in a timely manner because these predators move so quickly.”
According to KSL News, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Service are helping UDAF “track and kill the wolf.”

I hate shrubs. Scratch that. I hate shrubs that are pruned into massive geometric shapes… like mine.
The ultimate exterior before picture, taken by the real estate agent for the listing. Also proof that we’ve allowed our landscaping to become completely overgrown.
I prefer more natural shapes that are not typically found in hollies. I had planned to tear them out, but my mom encouraged me to shape them first. She came over Sunday morning and we got to planning. Should we shave a little off the top? Thin it out from within? I asked if it would be a completely awful idea to prune them like trees – leaves on top, bare trunks underneath. Surprisingly, she didn’t say no.
So we got to pruning. Some cuts were easy and quick, others took some planning and good leverage, but we soon found ourselves surrounded by piles of branches. We took a step back and were pleased.
It’s definitely closer to that Asian Garden feel that I’m going for. Please excuse our 1/4 painted house.
I’m planning to plant Hostas underneath the Hollies to bring some more green and cover up the dirt pile.
Ultimately, I’m very happy with the nowhere-near-the-end result. It opens up that dank corner and brings something interesting to the table. Thanks for your help, mom!
