Today I have painted the bottoms of two different kinds of apples. They have both been identified as Ellison’s Orange by experts at an apple day, possibly different experts as the largest apple was identified two years ago. The other, from the community orchard, was ID’d last weekend.
The smaller apple and the cut piece both show two differences. They have more distinct stripes and they have long sepals which reflex out in a little star shape. The other apple has short stumpy downy sepals. The sepals are the remains of the covering of the flower when it is in bud.
I believe that the very pronounced stripes and the sepals point to it apple being Allington Pippin. It does not taste quite the same as the Ellisons Orange ,which incidentally is a dead ringer for the illustrations of the variety. It just goes to show that there are so many factors that have to be considered when doing an ID that it is no wonder there are and always have been many cases of mistaken identity in the apple world.
But since writing this I have found some really clear pictures for Allington Pippin and they are nothing like the striped apple. There are pictures of Allington Pippin out there with lovelylong stripes but the ones in the National Fruit Collection are not striped, think again next year, the last of the apples are rotting on the ground so there’s little option.
Yesterday I drove a mammoth triangle taking in London Surrey, Hampshire and back to Sussex. I finished my bit of guerrilla gardening at my aunt’s house and got back home after dropping off my former neighbours knitting bag with her niece! She has such a sweet garden, even in the dusk I could see that the balls of box were perfect and the textures were varied but harmonious. I knew I had found the right house when I saw the pot of bamboo by the front door. Because her bamboo is so invasive she keeps it all in pots, it is still over two metres high and makes a good screen…which can be moved at will.

Trying to key apples, they have to be cut up.
size 6 in x 4.5 in 15cm x 12cm watercolour on heavy weight rag paper
Yesterday I went to collect my aunt so that she could visit us and then the intrepid soul is off for a week on the Norfolk Broads with my mother and sister. They will be hiring a motor boat , she has packed more thick jumpers than I own.My mother has made a Fleetwood cake which was the cake which went with us on any journey when we were children. When we went to the Broads as children the standard was an 8”x8” cake and a catering tray of homemade bread pudding donated by my grandmother. We also took all our Easter eggs as it was always just after Easter that we went. Sometimes it was lovely the reedbeds were coming alive after winter and the primroses were out. Some years it snowed. I remember being in a dinghy when the snow started falling and the wind dropped to nothing , the belly of the sail filled with goosefeathers of snow as we watched and grew colder and colder. I think we got back in the end by using the sail as a great bit flapping wing. Hot tea and slabs of cake restored us.
I had a very frustrating attempt to get the apples from the community orchard identified. I tried to spread the apples out over the day and had got one identified positively when I queued again. I finally got to where it seemed to be my turn and a woman from Storrington pushed in with ten samples of apple and I couldn’t keep my aunt and the rest of the family waiting any longer.
So it now requires another visit to another apple day or some tentative guesses with the online apple key. Slow work,an expert will recognise features which short cut the process.

Day One hundred and thirty three

Today I am considering the subject of my blog, I have been asked to do some Morning Glory, I quite fancy doing an outdoor picture but it will probably rain on me, and then again there are flowers and apples in the garden which I like but haven’t put in a blog painting yet…some days to have plenty of choice seems a luxury and on other days it is too much. I have decided upon one of the stored pears ,you can tell its been stored its gone a little crumpled.
I made a big tray of apple sortofshortbread this morning for the weekend, but it smelt so lovely that when my neighbour popped round to look at the builders progress on their house( getting there) we got stuck into it with a cup of coffee. Apparently her daughter K. reads the blog which is lovely to hear.
The shortbreadsortof is an attempt to pass off more apples on the family in an acceptable form. I made a mix half way between shortbread and pastry using butter and stork and plain flour (1lb flour,3/4 shortening,1/2 sugar,1 cup raisins, two large aromatic eaters diced,pinch of salt…I used the Ellison’s Orange, but Cox or anything suitable for a French Tarte au Pommes would do. It’s quite crumbly but tastes good*. There are many opinions on what should go in a real French Tarte au Pommes, something like Calville Blanc d’Hiver apple is classic, it has a very strong flavour and thin slices cook but do not break up, however modern writers including French recipe sites suggest Golden Delicious or Granny Smith ,these will look right but they will not have the intense flavour of the older apples which are used by better restaurants in France. If you tend to think that Tarte au Pommes is OK but a bit insipid I suggest you seek out one made with the sort of apples around which the recipe was created. I wonder how many old recipes we miss the point of as we do not have access to the right varieties of fruit and vegetable to make them special. Ellison’s Orange is actually a cross between a French Calville Blanc d’Ete and an English Cox so it probably is a good candidate for a proper Tarte au Pommes. The apple can seem dry as soon as it starts to overripen , but that I think is the sort of characteristic required.
Last night I put apples in the salad and in the pudding and the night before I made Bolognese sauce with fresh garden tomatoes ( they thought it was marvellous…no of course they didn’t they moaned that it was different from the standard brew).
Method for recipe if you would like to try:
Put the flour and the shortening and the salt into a food processor, blitz until it is mixed and starting to stick together in lumps.
Mix in the raisins and the diced apple, press into a lined tray bake for half an hour in a medium oven or until it is firm and beginning to brown in places. Cut up when nearly cool and eat, but you could guess that bit.

The Porzingis Project is fast becoming the Porzingis Show in New York, with Phil Jackson’s controversial first round draft pick playing way better than even the Knicks expected so soon. 7’3″ Kristaps Porzingis is averaging nearly a double-double and looks strong on both ends of the floor, not to mention fluid and smart. Every step along the way — since his first display of grace in the face of boos on draft night — Porzingis has exceeded expectations. And coach Derek Fisher, a winner who endured a horrible rookie coaching campaign waiting for the Knicks to rebuild, can’t help but keep putting Porzingis in the lineup. With him the Knicks are suddenly capable of winning any night.
The Knicks didn’t win against Dallas this week, in a game that saw superstar Dirk Nowitzki (to whom Porzingis is most often compared) visit Madison Square Garden and score 25 points at age 37. Coach Fisher says the comparisons are too much too soon. But he couldn’t help adding “Dirk has been a Hall of Fame-caliber player for a long time. Kris [Porzingis] has potential that shows his upside may be as high.”


ALMATY -- Kazakh farmers are outraged by Russia's attempts to have Kazakhstan impose a ban on grain exports amid a worsening global food crisis.
Nur-Sultan is refusing.
At a May 20 meeting of the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the regulatory body of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU or EAEU), Russia insisted that all members of the bloc introduce quotas and duties on grain exports to third countries, the Russian business newspaper Kommersant.
The Russian government in mid-March introduced a temporary ban on grain exports, including wheat, meslin, rye, barley and corn, to EEU countries "to protect the domestic food market in the face of external restrictions".
Moscow is likely to extend the ban, which was set to run through June 30.
Russia's Agriculture Ministry expects the quotas and duties that Moscow is pushing will prevent re-exports of Russian grain through the EEU in circumvention of Russian restrictions, said sources cited by Kommersant.
Moscow's moves comes as Russia's navy blockades Ukraine in the Black Sea, preventing the breadbasket nation from exporting key food supplies.
Before the Russian invasion, which began February 24, Ukraine exported roughly 4.5 million tonnes of agricultural produce per month through its ports, including 12% of global wheat, 15% of corn and half of its sunflower oil, according to AFP.
The war and its ongoing blockade have largely brought the trade to a halt, with alternative routes by rail and truck unable to tackle the enormous logistical and financial hurdles needed to move so much produce to international markets.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has been unequivocal on the matter, saying last week that the war "threatens to tip tens of millions of people over the edge into food insecurity".
What might follow would be "malnutrition, mass hunger and famine, in a crisis that could last for years", he warned.
To date, more than 20 million tonnes of food products remain stuck in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities.
At the EEC meeting, the Russian side criticised Kazakhstan for its lack of export duties and quotas on barley and corn.
Kazakhstan is not imposing duties because they could prevent local agricultural producers from fulfilling international obligations, Kommersant reported, citing a source with knowledge of the meeting.
Kazakhstan is a net exporter of wheat, accounting for about 4% of total global wheat exports, but the country also relies on cheaper Russian supplies to meet its domestic needs, according to Gro Intelligence, which supplies global agriculture data.
Kazakhstan has no reason to accept Russia's conditions, Andrey Sizov, managing director of SovEcon, an agricultural market think-tank in Moscow, told Kommersant.
"This will not be in the interests of the farmers of [Kazakhstan], which is a major exporter: together with flour, in terms of grain, the total supply reaches 7-8 million tonnes per season," he said.
A ban on grain exports will result in huge losses with far-reaching consequences, add Kazakh farmers.
Kazakhstan has much more grain than needed, and there will be a new harvest in the fall, said Yevgeny Karabanov of Petropavlovsk, a spokesperson for the Kazakh Grain Union.
"An export ban will be a powerful blow to our agricultural industry," he said. "Producers need to export the surplus in order to earn at least something and retain foreign buyers."
Given the abundance of agricultural products in Russia and Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan must thwart Moscow's attempts to block grain supplies from the Central Asian republic, farmers say.
"I hope our government will support us and will not impose a ban," said Nurbol Baigaliuly, a farmer from Almaty province.
"We are a sovereign state and should make a decision based on our national interests, and not Russia's interests."
With the threat of an impending food crisis, Moscow's efforts to prevent grain shipments from partners in the EEU are in actuality a power play, say analysts.
Russia itself has a grain glut. The country expects a record harvest of 130 million tonnes of grain with annual domestic consumption of no more than 80 million tonnes, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on May 12.
Russia has turned grain into a political tool for pressuring other countries and expanding its influence, according to Kirill Pavlov, a Shymkent resident and director of the Supreme Council of Farmers, a Kazakh lobbying group.
"In recent years, Russia has been dumping on the world grain market, reducing the prices of its agricultural products in order to win the markets of countries in Africa and South Asia, and thereby getting them 'hooked'," he said.
"Now the Russian Federation is manipulating them, blackmailing them with famine."
Russia is using the war in Ukraine in its plans to expand its "food" influence, Pavlov said. For countries dependent on Russian grain, Moscow can dictate what policy they should follow to avoid a food crisis.
Aggressor and looter
Meanwhile, Russia is seizing and exporting Ukrainian wheat from occupied territories.
At a briefing on May 9, Ukrainian Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Mykola Solskyi said that the invaders had sent approximately 400,000–500,000 tonnes of grain to Crimea valued at $250-300 per tonne.
Farmers in the occupied territories have suffered losses of more than $125 million, he estimated.
Satellite photographs provided by Maxar Technologies and published by CNN on May 23 appear to show Russia looting Ukrainian grain.
The photographs, taken on May 19 and 21, show two Russian-flagged bulk carriers moored in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, next to granary-like facilities, being loaded with allegedly stolen Ukrainian grain.
The images show grain pouring from a conveyor belt into an open hold. Both ships have already left the port.

Ηealth Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas told the press that small relaxations of COVID measures will be announced Friday, following a Cabinet meeting.
Speaking after a meeting of the parliamentary health committee the Minister said that the proposals to be put before the Cabinet include entrance of unvaccinated people to stadiums, cinemas and theaters with a PCR test.
He also said that the Ministers are set to also approve a proposal for the increase of individuals in indoor and outdoor spaces.
As regards the face mask Hadjipantelas said that this measure will be with us for a little while as it is proven that it provides protection.
Asked why unvaccinated people cannot enter stadiums, cinemas and theatres with a rapid test but a PCR is needed, he said that relaxations will be put into force gradually, noting that the aim is to have the stadiums open. He called on people to be patient, adding that when conditions allow it, the entrance will be allowed with a rapid test.
As regards the administration of the 3rd dose to all citizens, Hadjipantelas said that this will happen when specialists say so, adding that all decisions are taken following the advice of scientists.
He said that he spoke with the Head of the Advisory Committee on vaccinations and in the next few days the members will meet up to provide suggestions on the matter to the Health Ministry and the Cabinet.
The Minister said that there should not be complacency because of the epidemiological figures of the country. He said that Cyprus has one of the highest percentage of vaccinations in Europe and this has allowed us to have a drop in hospitalizations but there is no room for complacency as we have other conditions in place, such as the opening of the universities and schools and therefore we should all continue to follow the measures and be vigilant.
Invited to comment on incidents of people using a fake safe pass he said that he spoke to the Attorney General and some cases will be brought before justice soon.

Most of the time, I feel so alone and left out. I think that most of my friends just don't care about me any more and it is making me sad. But, I don't care anymore. I am going to live for myself and not worry about not having friends. I have people that I can hang out with when I see them, but no one who is a really good friend. I put so much time and effort into my friendships, and no one ever gives so much as a rats ass back to me. They don't invite me to hang out or go to the store. They don't even invite me to come to dinner with them. So you know what? I don't care.

The funghi mussles were amazing. Great service and amazing food!
Great food. Little slow with the drinks, but overall very good.
Four of us ate tapas style rather than ordering large plates. This gave us a greater variety of tastes--and we were not disappointed. Presentation of food was delightful. Our server was absolutely the best, always anticipated our needs.
We always enjoy Zula! Definitely our ‘go-to’ date night restaurant. Service always impeccable. Food is outstanding.
Best mussels I’ve ever had! Great arancini and wonderful brownie dessert!
As Always, Great! Well done Zula!
Had the New Orleans gumbo mussels and tuna and mushroom small plates. Very creative and excellent flavors and combinations!! Found another favorite restaurant!
Reasonably priced for exceptional food. Waiter only gave a choice of bottled or sparkling water until we inquired, just wanted regular tap water. Also, the waiter advised us to order 10 items to share amongst only 4 of us. We ordered 4 and it was plenty. Me thinks the waiter trying to boost the tab! 😂 Would definitely return.
Great place with delicious and unique choices
Brought my mom for an early Mother’s Day dinner. Our waitress Jamie was awesome and my mom loved it.
Food was excellent. When I make a reservation for 5 pm, however, I don’t expect to be seated in a high-top chair next to my dining partner at the bar. So the seating was uncomfortable and it was hard to have a conversation over dinner. Meanwhile, I asked for a regular table and plenty were open throughout the meal, but I was not accommodated.
Our go-to place. I love everything about Zula. Can’t miss here.
Totally recommend it.
Always spectacular!!! We love this spot. Phenomenal mussels, carpaccio, flat breads, anything you order you will love. Super cute and quaint. Emily our server was very sweet and our food arrived very quickly and always piping hot. Don’t forget to order the bread. OMG. If you love fresh baked Parisian style bread you will be in heaven. It is a must to soak up all of the broth from your mussels dish! Until we meet again...
This was our first time at Zulas and we loved it.
Started with the beet salad= absolutely delish then we shared the Napoli Mussels and the Bulgarian feta flat bread. Everything was fantastic. Drank a Spanish Red wine with it.
Perfect meal and evening. We will certainly come again.
Great food and service. My only critique was seating. There were plenty of open seats but we were placed right next to another couple when we could have had a quieter spot.
Exceptional food! I was surprised, more than once, by how incredibly delicious the food tasted. From the mushroom (incredible broth) as an
appetizer to the beet salad (with a hint of blue cheese) to the Vietnamese mussels (unbelievable) and finally the salted caramel brûlée. And what a great drink selection!!
Zulu’s may be my new favorite restaurant in Cincy. I’ve already recommended it to multiple people. Great for pre-Music Hall since it’s a block away. But make reservations! It was packed.
We think of Zula for its great food and drinks! The past 2 times we’ve recently dined, we’ve had the same long time server Hannah and her service will keep us coming back and asking for her!! We even had restaurant industry guests & they were impressed :)
Food was excellent and our server definitely enhanced the experience with her overview of the menu.
Great service, unique food options
Meh! Service was good though. I bet this place does a good job of separating money from people with too much of it on their hands. You can get a way better plate or glass of wine for the same price lots of other places in the area.
What a great spot for a casual business dinner, a group of friends or a family meal. Not only were there great wine selections, our server (I wish I remembered her name) gave us great recommendations and brought us 1 oz pours so we could pick the best of our 3 finalists. Our favorite of 3 small plates was the deconstructed lamb and our seasonal spring flatbread was delectable. My guest was very pleased with my restaurant choice. Will definitely return and she's certain to bring her clients to Zula as well.
Food was excellent! Only complaint is that the server didn’t check on us very much though, she was new and also restaurant week. We had a party of three, my friend who only got a salad ordered it without cheese- not only did they mess that up, but we waited at least ten minutes or so for a new salad. Also, I don’t think there was enough table attendance as far as cleaning it off and making sure we had everything we needed before our food hit the table. Zula is still a favorite of mine nonetheless
First time at restaurant!! Food was delicious!!! Highly recommend this tapas restaurant!!!
Zula never disappoints! I need to go more often. The food is spot on delicious and fresh and the vibe is energetic with a European feel. Get the mussels and frites and any of the crudo offerings. Tried the mushrooms for the first time and those too were delicious. Excellent beer list to pair perfectly with your meal.
Food was great. Didn't find the server to be friendly or helpful.
We have been to Zula's several times and have always been pleased. One time we had most of our family at Over the Rhine. We had been to Zula's and wanted to take the family there. But we didn't have reservations. We stopped in at about 5 and they said they could seat us right then because the big center table hadn't been reserved until later. We all really enjoyed the meal!
One of our favorite restaurants --our go-to restaurant.
Great food, lively atmosphere, and earnest service. My only quibble is that the place literally shut down on a weekend soon after the kitchen closed at eleven.
We had a great time but I was disappointed that there was no acknowledgement of a birthday when it was mentioned in the beginning.
Food was excellent as always, however, the server appeared to be in a bad mood and acted like our table was a bother. Not very friendly and/or conversational.
We reserved on Open Table and thus had to sit at the communal table. Not as bad as I thought though and kind of enjoyed the comeraderie. Food is tasty as usual but $4 for a couple of rolls is a little off the wall. Still would go again as we have been many times before.
The mussels are wonderful, with good portions. The noise level was low enough that we could converse, a benefit lacking in many restaurants. And the server was perfect - helpful, welcoming, funny, and gave wonderful suggestions as to menu items. We'll be back!
Fantastic as always!
Everything was great but noise level was awful
Outstanding. Presentation, variety of food choices, service, ambiance. From salad to flatbread to mussels to decadent chocolate brownie dessert.
Thank you for another fine meal and great service. We will be back soon as we were warmly welcomed.
We had a super sweet and knowledgeable server who offered suggestions upon request. The mussels, as always, were fantastic! (We had the New Orleans style) Overall, a great place to grab dinner and drinks with the girls!
Enjoyed the different foods and their presentation!
Lovely meal. Fantastic food.

The housing market bubble that fueled the Great Recession a decade ago is looming once again and has been for some time. But it’s all about to shift and things are going to be pretty grim for buyers.
The housing shortage that fueled competition and resulted in sky-high price gains throughout 2017 and the first half of 2018 is on the horizon yet again, and the supply of available homes could hit a new low. The number of for-sale listings was up 2.8% annually in June, but that was down from May’s 2.9% gain. Inventory gains began to slow this year from 6.4% growth in January to 5.8% in February, according to a report by CNBC.
Now is not the time to be buying a new home. While the market is inflated and prices are high, buyers are going to be on the hook for a home that’s worth far less than what they owe on it making a repeat of the 2008 housing bubble burst a reality once again. Supply is now expected to flatten over the next three months and could hit its first decline in October of this year, according to Realtor.com. And that will push prices even higher.
“It was only 18 months ago that the number of homes for sale hit its lowest level in recorded history and sparked the fiercest competition among buyers we’ve ever seen. If the trend we’re seeing continues, overall inventory could near record lows by early next year,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com, according to CNBC. “So far there’s been a lackluster response to low mortgage rates, but if they do spark fresh buyer interest later in the year, U.S. inventory could set new record lows this winter.”
Fewer owners, for several reasons, have chosen to not list their homes. “It’s likely a combination of rate-lock, recently decreased consumer confidence and older generations choosing to age in place,” added Hale. But it could also be that even though a profit can be made by selling a house, finding a house to live in is also going to cost much more.
Home price gains had been shrinking, but the gains jumped up again in June for the first time in 14 months, according to CoreLogic. “Interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages fell by nearly one percentage point between November 2018 and this May,” said Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. “This has been a shot-in-the-arm for home sales. Sales gained momentum in May and annual home-price growth accelerated for the first time since March 2018.”
Lower interest rates are attractive to buyers, however, when demand increases and supply does not, prices go up again and the bidding wars start to take place. This could realistically become a big problem much as we all experienced a decade ago. Oftentimes, the housing market is a good indicator of where the economy is headed both nationally and globally. Take the time to save up a little and pay down your debts if you can. Protect yourself by preparing for the next recession to the best of your ability.

Mac, i am having difficulty accessing your daily updates . How may i subscribe to your daily articles.
i have been comminting here for 9 years.
I’ve already got 50% interest in the BOL, where I’m going next month. Aug. can’t get here soon enough. Had new brakes and tires installed on the Dodge last week. I took it on a 400-mile round trip last Sunday and it ran like a top. It’s finally road-ready but I had to spend a fortune to get it that way. So for $10,000 total I’ve got a good truck for my own use.
I like hearing about you goin to your bol. It’s sounds like a lot of fun. Have a good trip.
I have the advantage of having two aunts that were very successful in the real estate business. What I did was buy less than desirable properties and improved them. I did not “Flip” houses, although I know people that do that sort of thing.
My angle was to buy acreage outside the city, taking care to be sure its location is fairly safe, from natural disasters , then make it comfortable, and relatively self sufficient. and work your way up.
I started with a single wide mobile home, which was a screw up, I never repeated.
Today I’m surrounded by homes worth millions. I’m on acreage with a clear ocean view, in Hawaii. I’m debt free.
Based on my Federal taxes, I’m way below the median income for my county.
It is not what you buy, but how you buy, where it is located, and how fast you can pay it off. Debt kills you.
relik, I did pretty much the same thing. Bought undeveloped land and built my own cabin (very cool too). I paid cash for ALL of it and now people are clamouring to buy land in the area (rarely ever for sale). The problem is my taxes keep going up and up! I am on a private owned road (no easements) with a gate 1/2 mile away. The area is surrounded by BLM land which cannot be bought. Except for a couple of neighbors it’s like my own private Idaho (on the ground like a wild potato). 😛
Moonspir its time to in my opinion to shelter in place as we are going into a GSM and we have major crop losses across the world not being reported and this is going to very difficult for most people to deal with but you wont hear about this on the socalled media but we will all see it in our grocery stores by the end of the year
This is the last full year to buy high cap mags untouched by any Democrat victories next year. Also buy MREs before the massive crop failures hit the news and the prices go astronomical.

The Apple iPad Pro Reviewby Ryan Smith, Joshua Ho & Brandon Chester on January 22, 2016 8:10 AM EST
With the iPad Pro, one of the main points of interest is its display. Although there are other elements to the iPad Pro like the stylus and the keyboard, the display is really the centerpiece of this tablet, especially when neither the Apple Pencil nor the Smart Keyboard come included with the iPad Pro itself. I think it goes without saying that everyone wants to have a great display on a tablet, but what determines a great display is often in question.
While it’s obvious that less reflectance is better, as is higher contrast and maximum brightness, things like gamma and color reproduction are often subjective as the same color will often look different to different people. In order to try and deal with this issue, we focus on testing all mobile displays to the same color accuracy standards. For now, the industry standard gamut is the sRGB gamut, along with power 2.2 gamma. Although the sRGB gamut is relatively limited compared to something like DCI-P3 or Rec. 2020, it remains an industry standard when compared to what exists on the market today. In order to test how well a display meets these standards in addition to other criteria, we use an i1Pro2 spectrophotometer for accurate color measurements along with an i1Display Pro for accurate contrast measurements. In order to organize this data into a readable format we use SpectraCal’s CalMAN 5 with a custom workflow.
In the case of the iPad Pro, it’s obvious that the architecture of the display is different from what we’ve seen in mobile devices before. Due to the sheer resolution, it seems that Apple is electing to use embedded Display Port (eDP) instead of the more traditional MIPI DSI interface used in smartphones. We’ve seen a number of smartphones and tablets this year ship with an 8 lane MIPI DSI configuration which allows for a theoretical maximum of 2715x1697 for about 4.6MP, but the 2732x2048 resolution of the iPad Pro means about 20% more pixels than what a 2 port MIPI DSI configuration can handle.
By comparison, eDP has been able to support 4K at 60 Hz or higher for quite some time. This is self-evident by looking at the number of laptops launched with a 4K display. With the iPad Pro, Apple claims that they’ve implemented their own custom timing controller or TCON. Some digging through the system files seems to corroborate these claims as there are numerous references to an Apple Agile DP Display SAC Controller. That’s a mouthful, but Agile seems to be the internal name for this controller, and DP seems to be a reference to DisplayPort, while SAC is likely a reference to Slow Adaptive Clocking.
Slow Adaptive Clocking is something that there's very limited public information on at this time. My best guess here is that this is actually related to the variable refresh rate technology that Apple is implementing in their custom TCON. On the surface this technology seems to bear a lot of resemblance to G-Sync or FreeSync, but rather than varying refresh rate to fit the GPU’s rendering rate the refresh rate only has two distinct settings at 60 Hz and 30 Hz depending upon whether the content on the display would benefit from the higher refresh rate. It’s likely that at least part of the reason why this is possible is the use of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) TFTs which don’t leak current in the off state. This means that when there is a longer period of time between display refreshes, the liquid crystal retains its state rather than fading towards its original state of either completely open or closed to the backlight.
In addition to this adaptive refresh rate, the TCON supports panel self-refresh which is hardly news, but given that we’ve seen phones and tablets in this year ship without panel self-refresh it’s worth mentioning.
The panel itself also appears to have dual domain pixels and a conventional RGB stripe. Viewing angles as a result are quite good. The cover glass also contains the AR coating first introduced with the iPad Air 2, which cuts reflectance roughly in half relative to a display that doesn’t have such a coating. This effectively doubles outdoor contrast, so it’s great for outdoor use.
In our standard test of brightness and contrast, it’s evident that Apple has moved to a new generation of display for the iPad Pro as the maximum brightness is mildly improved relative to the iPad Air 2. The real change here though is that contrast is dramatically improved over the iPad Air 2.
This is likely due to the use of photoalignment for the liquid crystals, which helps the liquid crystal to have a more consistent orientation. For those that aren’t really familiar with the particulars of how light polarization and polarizers work, part of the problem is that when a voltage is applied to change the structure of the liquid crystals parts of the liquid crystals won’t necessarily change in structure appropriately. In order to assist with this process a film is applied which gains a particular orientation when exposed to UV light in a specific way. This helps to get the liquid crystals to all align in the same direction, which improves contrast as a result. Of course, contrast isn’t the dark, inky blacks that you'll get with AMOLED but it'll still be quite impressive for normal use.
Moving on to our grayscale test, the iPad Pro does impressively well overall with well-controlled gamma but tending slightly towards a colder color balance. I’m not sure whether this is because of backlight efficiency concerns due to the use of blue LED with yellow phosphor in the backlight or because people seem to prefer colder white balances in general, but it’s there nonetheless. The cold color balance might affect some particularly color critical work but even for medical use I suspect it shouldn’t be a serious problem.
In saturations, the iPad Pro is basically perfect. There is some mild undersaturation of red, but I basically see no reason to try and find some method of personally calibrating the display.
In the Gretag MacBeth ColorChecker test, color error is once again basically nonexistent. Anything with red appears to be mildly undersaturated but the error is going to be almost impossible to notice.
Overall, the iPad Pro display is probably one of the best available on the market today. The Galaxy Tab S2 display is comparable in overall accuracy and has superior contrast, but the iPad Pro has noticeably higher brightness for all content above 50% APL and in any scenario with a lot of ambient background light the AR coating will help a lot with improving effective contrast and general readability. Although pixel density is equivalent to the iPad Air 2, the sheer size of the display means that the viewing distance is increased and therefore the perceived resolution. The display looks great in person, and unless your single point of consideration for display performance is contrast I think it’ll be hard to be disappointed with the iPad Pro display.

October 27, 2018
Well, here’s some very important news.
For those who don’t know – and most of you probably don’t – this bitch was a pretty popular pop singer in the 80s. You might have heard this one here, but probably haven’t. Because I haven’t heard it since I was a small child.
Sinead O’Connor has converted to Islam and changed her name to Shuhada which means ‘martyrs’ in Arabic.
The Irish rockstar, who was ordained a priest by a fringe Catholic group in the 1990s, announced the news on Twitter where she shared a pictured of her wearing a hijab.
The mother-of-four, who has struggled with her mental health, wrote: ‘This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim.’
This bitch was always insane – okay.
But this is now an official thing. White women converting to Islam.
Women will naturally bend to the power center, okay?
They have to attach themselves to power because they are pathetically weak, physically, and cannot provide materially for themselves or protect themselves from danger.
Just understand that: they are parasites by their most basic biology, and they will always attach themselves to whoever is in control. Generally, in the West for the last 60 years, that has been the state. That is what feminism is all about – white women aligning themselves with the power of the state against their former providers/rulers: white men.
But Islam is an approaching challenger in Europe, because the state is bending to Islam left and right. Hand over fist.
Women sniff this before you do. They have these sensing abilities inbred into them – evolutionary mechanisms that allow them to sense where the power lies in society.
You people need to get your minds straight with regards to women and you need to do it quickly because this shit is coming down hard.

Though the Smoky Hill River Festival has come and gone for another year, at least one reminder is staying behind. A unique mural which was created during the festival by an artist from Kansas City is staying in Salina to go on display.
Inspired by the Salina Animal Shelter’s work and the animals they find homes for, renowned KC graffiti artist Donald Ross, who goes by the name “Scribe” created a mural onsite. Festival goers were able to watch the characters in the mural evolve over the weekend.
Graffiti art created by “Scribe” can be see all round Kansas City, including at Children’s Mercy Hospital, where he is the staff artist.
The finished Salina mural is inspired by the famous “American Gothic” painting of a farmer, holding a pitchfork, standing beside his wife. The new Salina mural is similar, but instead of a farmer and his wife it depicts a whimsical dog and a cat.
The mural created by “Scribe” at the Smoky Hill River Festival will be installed at the Salina Animal Shelter.

As readers, my wife and I take it as an almost moral duty to make sure that our daughter is exposed to books. We try not to force it down her throat, but we also try hard to make reading a part of her life. Story time is an every day thing. In fact, with naps, it’s often something that happens multiple times in a day. Needless to say, when reading with your children, the discovery of a book that pulls you along as well is a welcome find.
Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg by Gail Carson Levine is just such a book. The story follows Prilla, a “newborn” fairy in Neverland, and one that has the unique misfortune of being born without a talent. She immediately befriends Tinkerbell and other fairies of Fairy Haven while trying to discover her talent. When misfortune comes to Neverland, Prilla along with the fairies Rani (a water talent fairy) and Vidia (a fast flying talent fairy) must take on a quest to find three rare items to fix Neverland.
If Only My Daughter Could Write this Review
There are very few books that get a physical reaction from my daughter. While I’m constantly surprised about how much she remembers when it comes to the stories we read together, it’s still rare when I see her emotionally invested in a book while we’re reading it. Not the case with Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg. Many times during the story she looked tense or excited, and by the end of the book she was participating fully in the storyline. I won’t say much, but the bedroom was full of the sound of a little girl clapping as hard as she could.
The illustrations in the book (provided by David Christiana) are gorgeous and evoke an other-worldly feeling. In some cases, they can be almost abstract and difficult to really see the details, but my daughter had no problem seeing what they represented. One of the images even helped my daughter understand what a “cigar holder” was.
Another great thing about this particular book is the length of the chapters. Coming in at about three or four pages per chapter, they are perfect for the before bed reading, and the author does a great job at leaving cliff hangers at the end of many of them. This made it very easy to convince my daughter to continue with the story. (Not to mention that Daddy needed to find out what happened next, too.)
Some Grownup Comments
There are a couple of things I want to note about the writing of the story itself. They were things that got in the way of the narrative, simply because they didn’t come across well when read aloud. First, was the fact that Rani was always trying to finish sentences. This came across on the page, but when read aloud, I would often skip the fact that Rani had finished the sentence. The other technique I didn’t like much was the abrupt switching of perspective. You would get internal thoughts of one character intermixed with another. It felt odd and really broke up the pacing.
Life and Death
One warning about the story when it comes to little ones; I won’t give anything away by saying this, but there are moments in the story when the subject of death comes up in pretty heavy detail. It provides some of the driving force behind the plot of the story, but beware that the story may start some discussions. Certainly not a bad thing, but something you should be ready for.
Who would like it: People looking for a good read for a girl’s bed time (it is about fairies after all). Younger readers would also like this, too, as the short chapters give a good sense of accomplishment.
Who wouldn’t like it: The story is good, but I’m guessing little boys would probably be put off by the “girly” fare. It might also be a little mature for very young readers because of the death references.

April 4, 2019
This week, France became the latest country to be stricken with misinformation-related violence.
On Monday, French police arrested 20 people accused of attacking Roma people in the suburbs of Paris. In one attack, about 50 people armed with sticks and knives attacked Roma living in a slum and set fire to their cars.
The Guardian reported that the attacks occurred following the re-emergence of an old online hoax that warns people about white vans that are being used to kidnap women and children — a false claim that has roots in medieval stereotypes about the Roma. Interestingly, the misinformation spread on both Facebook and Snapchat; the latter has mostly escaped scrutiny for its role in spreading bogus claims.
“This seemed exactly like those WhatsApp rumors that were spreading in Tamil Nadu state in India,” said Derek Thomson, head of France 24 Observers, which covered the attacks. “It’s astonishing, it’s terrifying. I report a lot in countries with mob mentalities, and I’m proud of European culture. It’s sort of unimaginable to me that there would be a lynching of someone, a mob attack on someone — but this is what it was.”
Thomson said his team found no evidence of deliberate disinformation like in India; the rumors appear to have spread spontaneously, possibly sparked by an incident in which two minors told police of an abduction attempt but later admitted they were lying. And no one has been killed yet in the anti-Roma attacks in Paris.
But elsewhere, child kidnapping rumors on social media continue to incite violence around the world.
In August, a vigilante mob of more than 100 people burned two men alive in a small town in the central Mexican state of Puebla, the BBC reported. The murder came after a false rumor spread on WhatsApp claiming “a plague of child kidnappers” had entered the country with the goal of harvesting the organs of children.
In India, dozens of people have been killed in public lynch mobs following the spread of rumors on WhatsApp. BuzzFeed News reported in September that, in nearly all those attacks, child kidnapping rumors were the catalyst.
Despite the spread of this kind of misinformation-related violence worldwide, social media platforms have taken no major public actions to try and stem it. WhatsApp has taken piecemeal steps to try and limit the virality of misinformation on the platform, while Facebook has mostly deferred responsibility to its fact-checking partners.
Meanwhile, companies like Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube took swift action last month to curb the spread of anti-vaccine conspiracies after facing pressure from American lawmakers.
As we reported over the summer, there’s a legitimate question about the extent to which the violence in India, Mexico and now France has been directly caused by misinformation on social media or enabled by a lack of proper law enforcement. But it’s clear that tech platforms are playing at least some role — and, as exhibited by the moves they’ve made against antivaxxers, action is possible.

Homemade Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Tutorial//
So the other day my daughter got this brilliant idea to make a homemade Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino. She is 11 years old and is really getting into baking and creating in the kitchen. This super easy Caramel Frappuccino is one of her favorite things to make with our brand new Ninja blender.
You guys! This Frappuccino recipe is so yummy and super easy to make. She loves inviting her friends over to play "barista girl" and loves whipping up this insanely easy Starbucks recipe with them. (Check out this cute DIY Barista Girl costume I created for her to play the role).
Homemade Caramel Frappuccino Recipe
1/2 c Crushed ice
1 bottle Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino (We get ours from Food Lion)
1/2 c Milk
2 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream
Toss the crushed ice into a blender (We absolutely love our new Ninja Blender for blending ice). Pour 1 bottle of the Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino into a blender over the ice. Next, pour the 1/2 c of milk and add two scoops of the vanilla ice cream. Then add in a good bit of caramel syrup to your liking. Blend the ingredients together until Frappuccino mix is smooth and thick.
Next, drizzle the inside of a Starbucks tumbler with some caramel syrup. Pour the homemade Caramel Frappuccino into the tumbler and top it off with a large dollop of Reddi Wip. Lastly, garnish the Reddi Wip with an extra drizzle of caramel syrup and serve immediately!
Enjoy the best Starbucks dupe caramel Frappuccino recipe ever!

The fear of the LORD prolongs life,
but the years of the wicked will be short.
The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
The way of the LORD is a stronghold for the upright,
but destruction for evildoers.
The righteous will never be removed,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
but the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.
(Proverbs 10:27-32, NRSV)
When we follow the path that God has set before us it may not be smooth. It may not be easy. It might go up and down and over some pretty hard terrain. But it is the easy path for sure.
The way of the Lord is a stronghold for life and in that way, we will not be removed and will be accepted because of God.
So walk in His way, and know He is always with you.

In an engineering lab at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez (UPRM) , a student takes pictures of a nanomaterial by controlling a microscope with a computer. What makes this scene unique is that the microscope isn’t beside the computer or even in the next room. Rather, it’s located in the basement of the UW-Madison Materials Science and Engineering Building.
Unveiled in April, the new scanning transmission electron microscope, or STEM, is one of a handful of instruments of its kind in the United States. It’s used to take high- spatial-resolution images of the atomic structure and composition of a variety of materials. The microscope’s high spatial resolution is important because the distance between atoms in most materials is two to three Ångstroms. (An Ångstrom equals 0.1 nanometer.) Previous microscopes had a resolution of two to three Ångstroms, meaning researchers could barely make out any atoms at all.
However, the new STEM has a spatial resolution of less than one Ångstrom, meaning researchers can take images that show where every atom in a piece of material is located, as well as what elements the various atoms are.
“This microscope gives us a level of instrumentation on par with the world-leading federal laboratories and research universities,” says Materials Science and Engineering Associate Professor Paul Voyles (pictured), who with Animal Sciences Professor Ralph Albrecht and Geoscience Assistant Professor Huifang Xu led the effort to bring the STEM to UW-Madison.
The STEM will aid UW-Madison researchers working on advanced metal alloys, nanoelectronic devices, catalysis, biomacromolecules and other areas. In addition to serving researchers on campus, the STEM can be operated remotely, making it a global tool. Access to a STEM is crucial for the many catalysis and nanomaterials researchers at UPRM, so the institution partnered with UW-Madison on the original acquisition grant from the National Science Foundation.
Additionally, the remote operating capabilities allow Voyles and others to train a larger number of researchers to use the STEM, further expanding its impact.

A 23-year-old Evans man was convicted Tuesday on multiple charges of sexually assaulting a Weld County girl and exploiting several other victims, according to prosecutors.
Zachary Myers, 23, was arrested in March 2016 after police found child pornography on his cellphone, according to a district attorney’s office news release. Investigators also found manipulative phone conversations between Myers and multiple underage girls from several states.
Myers coerced juvenile girls into sending him nude photos. If they refused, he’d threaten them and threaten to kill himself, according to the DA’s office.
On Tuesday, after a week-long trial, a jury deliberated for about 90 minutes and returned with convictions on 19 charges including: Sexual assault on a child, false imprisonment, assault, internet sexual exploitation of a child and sexual exploitation of a child. He was convicted of multiple counts of the same charges.
Myers is scheduled to be sentenced June 29.

Objective: To determine the costs and effectiveness of selected child health interventions-namely, case management of pneumonia, oral rehydration therapy, supplementation and fortification of staple foods with vitamin A and zinc, provision of supplementary food with counselling on nutrition, and immunisation against measles. Design: Cost effectiveness analysis. Data sources: Efficacy data came from published systematic reviews and before and after evaluations of programmes. For resource inputs, quantities came from literature and expert opinion, and prices from the World Health Organization Choosing Interventions that are Cost Effective (WHO-CHOICE) database. Results: Cost effectiveness ratios clustered in three groups, with fortification with zinc and vitamin A as the most cost effective intervention, and provision of supplementary food and counselling on nutrition as the least cost effective. Between these were oral rehydration therapy, case management of pneumonia, vitamin A and zinc supplementation, and measles immunisation. Conclusions: On the grounds of cost effectiveness, micronutrients and measles immunisation should be provided routinely to all children, in addition to oral rehydration therapy and case management of pneumonia for those who are sick. The challenge of malnutrition is not well addressed by existing interventions.

PALO ALTO, Calif.—Abode, a DIY security company that got crowdfunded last year, is now offering professional monitoring—full time or on-demand—from UCC, and the company is actively looking for partnerships with security companies.
“We always had the plan to introduce [monitoring options], but our goal first was to get the product out in peoples’ hands and really drive some of the early feedback to actually make our product better, before we went down the road of charging people for services,” Chris Carney, abode’s founder and CEO, told Security Systems News. Prior to starting abode, Carney was in the traditional security space, working with ADT and Tyco.
The company offers its system with three plans. Its “Basic” plan is MIY with professional monitoring on-demand with no monthly fee. The “Connect” plan offers everything in the basic plan with a 3G cellular back up for $10 a month. Abode’s “Connect + Secure” plan gives users all the functionality of its Connect plan with full professional monitoring, for $30 per month.
The company started shipping products to consumers in November and currently has 1,000 users in 27 countries. “Our goal is to hit 10,000 users in our first twelve months,” Carney said. Users outside the U.S. are on the non-monitored option, but the company is currently integrating with foreign central stations to support other plans, he said.
Abode launched its monitoring options last week. The company offers two options for on-demand monitoring: $8 for three days or $15 for one week.
Abode is currently only sold directly to consumer, but that could change. “We do want to look at the security space as a place to partner with companies,” Carney said. This partnership would appeal to companies that want a DIY offering in their portfolio. Partnering companies would have abode accounts monitored through UCC, he said.
“We can get partners up an running on a pilot in a few weeks,” Carney said. “Our goal is to maintain our brand as part of these relationships, we would be willing to discuss other branding solutions with dealers on a case by case basis.”
Dealers would own the accounts and the possible RMR. “Our solution will also provide the dealers the opportunity to become the trusted advisor for the users entire connected home in addition to their security consultant,” Carney said.
The abode system can also verify alarms which can reduce false alarms. “Every system that we send has visual verification of events,” abode co-founder Brent Franks said.
“We’re focused 100 percent on security, but essentially our product is a smart home in a box,” Carney said. “We also have the ability to add other third party devices that are ZigBee or Z-Wave.”
The insurance space is another area for possible partnerships, according to Carney. This could include a “co–branded solution directly sold by the partner to their customers as a security offering [or] offering the abode branded solution to their customers as way for their policy holders to save money on their insurance. These are still in testing stage, but look to be a very viable channel for our fully integrated solution.”

I’d always thought of “You Are My Sunshine” as a children’s song. But then Dara started asking me to play it. She was a sparkly-eyed cutie with a head of soft, white curls, who brightened everyone’s day despite her advanced dementia. I’d play her request, she’d giggle and ask me to play it again. Others seemed to enjoy the song, too, and sang along to the chorus. I started tossing in “You Are My Sunshine” occasionally at other volunteer gigs. Each time, people couldn’t resist singing.
The song appeared in 1940 on a hit recording by Jimmie Davis, a Louisiana court clerk who moonlighted as a hillbilly singer at his local radio station. Davis is thought to have also written the tune, but its origins are a bit murky. Gene Autry and Bing Crosby covered it in 1941. When Davis ran for Louisiana governor in 1944, he made “You Are My Sunshine” his campaign theme, and when he sought another term 20 years later, he once again used it during stump speeches and fundraisers.
“You Are My Sunshine” is easy to sing, its notes clustered in mid-range, its beat predictable.
The chorus is a declaration of pure and simple love. The melancholy verses, however, tell the story of a troubled relationship, and are often left out of versions for children:
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken,
So I hung my head and cried.
I’ll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me to love another,
You’ll regret it all some day.
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But now you’ve left me and love another,
You have shattered all my dreams.
Over the years a wide range of singers have given “You Are My Sunshine” their distinctive interpretation: Ray Charles (with the Raelettes on backing vocals), Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, even Ike and Tina Turner. It has been a lullaby, a campfire song, a French’s mustard promotional tune. And it brings a smile to the faces of my senior audiences. The ultimate crossover hit.

Abstract:A multi-band tunable terahertz metamaterial absorber is proposed. In the structure of the metamaterial absorber， a photosensitive semiconductor silicon material was added and designed a special top metal resonator， analyzed the influence of the parameters such as the opening length， line width and dielectric layer thickness on the absorption spectral characteristics of the terahertz metamaterial absorber. According to the relationship between illumination and the conductivity of photosensitive semiconductor silicon， studied the frequency tuning characteristics of the terahertz metamaterial absorber. The simulation results obtain 12 absorption frequency modulations in the terahertz band， the absorption rate of 10 absorption peaks of them exceeds 90% near perfect absorption， and 6 absorptions rate up to 99% perfect absorption. Moreover， the absorptivity modulation depth and relative bandwidth reaches 85.9% and 85.5% respectively， with strong tunable characteristics. The photo excited terahertz metamaterial absorber has a simple structure， multi-band tunable and perfect absorption characteristics， and expands the application range of the absorber.

Consumer demand for meat raised without antibiotics (RWA) has grown by 25 percent over three years, and shows every sign of continuing to accelerate, driven by consumer concerns about human health, animal welfare, and environmental stewardship. Despite an overall decrease in U.S. per capita meat consumption, sales of meat and poultry raised without antibiotics have steadily increased over the same three-year period.
According to surveys conducted by Consumer Reports, 72 percent of consumers are very concerned or extremely concerned about the widespread use of antibiotics in food products, listing the fear of rising antibiotic resistance and the proliferation of multi-drug resistant superbugs as a top reason. Heavy selective pressures imposed on bacterial populations by antibiotic overuse have been shown to favor the spread of drug-resistant bacterial strains, which thrive in such conditions. These selective pressures are widespread, with approximately 80 percent of the antibiotics sold in the U.S. being administered to animals raised for food, including hogs, cattle, chickens, and turkeys. This large-scale antibiotic use kills susceptible bacteria, leaving behind only drug-resistant bacteria, which reproduce and give rise to a growing population of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. These superbugs then spread through air, soil, water, and contaminated meat, resulting in untreatable infections in human patients. Multi-drug resistant E. coli infections seen in humans have been linked directly to contaminated poultry, and hospitals have seen an increase in untreatable, fatal, bacterial infections as widespread agricultural antibiotic use favors the population growth of bacterial strains resistant to even last-line antibiotics. Resistant bacteria transfer the resistance trait across species by plasmids, small bits of DNA that can be transferred to different types of bacteria. For example, the mcr-1 gene, which confers resistance to the last-line antibiotic colistin, has been found in E. coli, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas species, all common sources of infection.
In addition to public health concerns, customers in search of meat viewed as humanely raised seek meat from animals raised without antibiotics, often viewing prophylactic antibiotic use as a necessity that arises from crowded factory farm conditions.
Consumers in search of meat raised without antibiotics depend on labels such as the USDA No Antibiotics Added label to ensure the quality of their meat. The USDA No Antibiotics Added label verifies that an animal was not given antibiotics, in any form, at any time during its lifespan. To apply for such labeling, producers submit documentation to the USDA, providing a brief description of the raising of the animals from birth to harvest. Documentation of raising practices should include segregation protocols and procedures for dealing with sick animals, complete feed formulation presented in common language or copies of feed tags, and a signed affidavit on company letterhead verifying all claims on the label are true. Information regarding antibiotic usage is self-reported by the producers, placing the responsibility on farm facilities to ensure animals are raised without antibiotics.
Additionally, for poultry, the USDA verifies that poultry products were not derived from eggs or poultry that were injected or otherwise treated with antibiotics. The USDA also monitors methods of verifying these claims. If the animals were purchased from another producer, the USDA requires a copy of the incoming purchase label bearing the claim that the animals were raised without antibiotics, or a copy of the letter from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service to the original producer, accepting their supporting documentation for the raised without antibiotics claim, as well as the in-house segregation protocol from the time the meat is received until shipping of the final product. The USDA also accepts copies of certificates from third-party certification agencies.
Efforts in Reducing Antibiotics
Together with the USDA, the CDC and the FDA have testified before Congress that there is a definitive link between routine nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in food animal production and the rising tide of antibiotic resistance in humans. The FDA, which regulates veterinary use of antibiotics, has issued best practice guidelines that include the voluntary withdrawal of production use of new medically important veterinary antibiotics. The FDA recommends that antibiotics be used in food-producing animals only under veterinary determination of medical necessity and utility, and that drug sponsors voluntarily revise the conditions of use of their medically important new antimicrobial animal drugs to reflect the need for the professional oversight of a licensed veterinarian. This would mean a change from over-the-counter to veterinary feed directive status for medicated feed products and from over-the-counter to prescription status for medicated drinking water products.

Stalking a poisoner at the local zoo, Inspector John Rebus comes across a paedophile taking pictures of children. When the social workers claim he is there for legitimate educational reasons, Rebus is faced with a dilemma - should he be outed to protect local kids or given a chance to start anew?
As the locals begin a hate campaign Rebus gets a call from the past: the son of a friend has gone missing and no one else will make time to ask the right questions. And then a fragment of Scotland's criminal history is repatriated at the end of a life sentence for murder. Once more Rebus's cup of trouble runneth over and the ghosts of past misdeeds return to haunt Edinburgh's streets.
