We seem to be on the verge of a post-modern version of an emerging social infrastructure in which there may well be only investors and workers, and in which the wealth shall go to the investors, with few safey nets provided to the workers, who are considered "responsible" for their own welfare through diligent savings and hard work. The tax structure that President Bush is proposing is oriented in that direction, as are the attacks on safety nets seen in health care, social security, pension funds, and No child Left Behind testing.
In a New York Times article on Wednesday, March 2, 2005, Erin E. Arvedlund comments on this perceived emeging infrastructure: Investors of the World, Here's the Word on Putin Inc., at p. A4. Backup.
It's hard, as we try to stay on top of current events. So much of so much importance is going on all at once, and most of us, as workers, are living fast-paced exhausting lives. One of the objectives of Dear Habermas is to help us stay on top of at least some of the issue. This morning the times caught my attention with the juxtaposition of "investors and Putin Inc." The United States is currently engaged in choosing the next president of the world band. "Putin Inc." sounds like what's going on in the corporate turn in Russia where Putin just renationalized one of its largest private oil fields and auctioned it off to a state-involved entity never heard of before.
Lots of tidbits in here you'll want to be "up" on:
- "In recent weeks, President Vladimir V. Putin's politics have generated most of the worry in the West. He has been cutting welfare benefits for veterans and pensioners, clamping down on free media and meddling in the Ukrainian election. Even President Bush, who badly needs the Kremlin's cooperation in combating terrorism, the spread of nuclear weapons and narcotics trafficking, gently chided Mr. Putin about maintaining democratic standards when the two met in Bratislava last week." (Source: Backup. First paragraph.
- The World Bank - definition.
- Current selection of World Bank President - The United States selects the World Bank President, and Europe selects the President of the World Monetary Fund. The U.S. (Bill Clinton) "blocked the appointment of Cail Koch Weser, the German candidate to head the International Monetary Fund." from Backup of NY Times article on the Presidency of the World Bank on Wednesday, March 2, 2005.
- What do we mean by "nationalization," "renationalization," and "privatization"?
"Illarionov [a Russian official until recently supportive of Putin] was being colorful," said John Litwack, head of the Moscow office of the World Bank. "But if that is the new model - to destroy assets, expropriate the company and put the industrialist in jail - and if it's repeated, that's different than just renationalization. That's an environment more like the third world." (Source: Backup. Scroll down the file about two inches.)

Industry analysts are speculating that MetLife’s recent deal to acquire South American pension provider AFP Provida could position current Americas head William Wheeler, 51, to become the life insurer’s next chief executive officer. The Americas division is the largest of MetLife’s three operating units.
The talk comes on the heels of MetLife’s announcement to buy Chilean pension fund provider AFP Provida from the Spanish bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBVA) for about $2 billion.
MetLife said it plans to offer to buy the remaining shares in AFP Provida after BBVA agreed to sell its 64.3 percent stake in AFP to MetLife.
BBVA reported a net profit of 20 million euros, or $27 million, in the fourth quarter on Feb. 1. The Spanish bank, announced last year that it was seeking a buyer for its Latin American pension fund operations.
Provida is the largest private pension fund administrator in Chile and also manages pensions in Ecuador. Provida has about $45.3 billion under management. The acquisition comes as MetLife seeks to expand its presence in fast-growing emerging markets, current CEO Steve Kandarian said last week.
Kandarian, 61, faces a mandatory retirement age of 65. He has been CEO of MetLife since 2011, and is currently also its chairman and president.
A former banker with Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, he joined MetLife in 1997 and became chief financial officer in 2003. While in that role, he worked on several major acquisitions, including the purchase of Travelers Life & Annuity from Citigroup Inc. in 2005 for $11.7 billion.
Wheeler also ran MetLife’s banking operations, which the company is winding down. MetLife said in December it’s planning to cut variable annuity sales by about 40 percent to as little as $10 billion this year, Bloomberg News reported.
Wheeler “probably is the next in line, potentially, to be the next CEO.” said Jimmy Bhullar, an analyst at JPMorgan, told Bloomberg.
Wheeler helped MetLife steer its way through the financial crisis, and was instrumental in such deals as the sales of New York City’s Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cook Village for $5.4 billion just prior to the housing market’s crash.

A Chelsea forward who has reportedly given the green light to joining Newcastle should reconsider due to one huge change, while a claim as to why he rarely featured under Thomas Tuchel has been roundly dismissed.
Chelsea and Newcastle have both experienced great upheaval since their takeovers crossed the line. Both have a different manager to the ones the new owners inherited and both have invested heavily in the market.
Pep Guardiola believes Newcastle have already breached the walls of the traditional ‘top six’. Prior to Sunday’s games, the Magpies already sit inside the top four, laying three points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea.
The two clubs haven’t yet crossed paths in the market since their takeovers, either for players transferring between the pair or in their joint-appreciation of shared targets.
However, come the winter window, that may well change.
Reports out of Spain last week claimed Chelsea winger, Christian Pulisic, has said ‘yes’ to joining Chelsea in January.
Newcastle had reportedly set aside around £35m for the move, a figure some way below the £58m Chelsea paid Borussia Dortmund in 2019.
However, the 24-year-old USA international’s career has stalled since moving to Stamford Bridge and that may have facilitated a price drop.
Outlets in England haven’t yet backed up the Spanish media’s claims, thus suggesting they may be a tad premature. Regardless, Pulisic’s situation at Chelsea would lend itself to an exit given he has never been a regular starter in the capital.
Furthermore, some within the media – such as Jamie Carragher – have urged Pulisic to up sticks and leave.
Aside from Newcastle, Leeds Utd have been linked. The Whites’ connection is an obvious one given they have American owners and an American manager in Jesse Marsch.
Chelsea winger in win-win situation
Now, speaking to ESPN, commentator, pundit and broadcaster, Jon Champion, has run the rule on Pulisic’s future.
Firstly, Champion stated the managerial change at Chelsea should prompt Pulisic into being patient. While he was never overly favoured by Thomas Tuchel, his situation may yet change under Graham Potter.
Furthermore, Champion railed against the narrative former boss Tuchel did not play Pulisic very often due to an anti-American sentiment. In Champion’s words, that notion is “utter claptrap” and is not an idea an elite manager would ever entertain.
“I think it’s a time for patience because Graham Potter has just arrived,” said Champion.
“There are stories linking him with Newcastle, so in fact, he’s in quite a nice position. He’s being linked with one of the brightest young English managers in Eddie Howe. And he’s already playing under another in Graham Potter.
“Both will select their teams on merit. These stories I read about Thomas Tuchel being anti-American for not giving Pulisic more game-time are utter claptrap.
“That’s to suggest a manager would select a team to serve his own whims rather than a team that’s going to have the best chance of winning a game.
“If Pulisic is going to give Chelsea the best chance of winning a game he’ll be in the starting eleven.”
Pulisic has “underwhelmed” at Chelsea
On Pulisic’s time at Stamford Bridge overall, Champion did not mince his words.
“I think he’s underwhelmed given the amount of money that was invested in him.
“But I do think it’s a difficult stage on which to perform as a young player coming in.
“There’s always going to be a lot of competition and scrutiny [at Chelsea] . The club is run in a peculiar way, not like a conventional football club, or it certainly wasn’t when [Roman] Abramovich was at the helm.
“It may now be changing under Todd Boehly’s regime. But that’ll be slow change because Abramovich was there for so long.
“Without in any way wishing to usher him out of Chelsea’s door, I would say if Newcastle were to come calling after the World Cup, Pulisic should consider it very seriously.
“Newcastle is going to be the most exciting project to be part of over the next five years anywhere in the Premier League.”

1930 Gar Wood 28 Triple Cockpit Runabout. Tamarack is a model 28-40 originally sold by Obexers Boat Co. the 28-40 designation means that it is 28 feet long and does 40 MPH with the 200 hp model 202 Scripps.
“Tamarack has a long history on Lake Tahoe. After changing hands a few times in her early years, she came into the possession of the family of legendary shipping line owner Captain Robert Dollar in 1949 when Robert Stanley Dollar Sr. purchased the runabout for his daughter Diana, who used the boat during her summer stays at Lake Tahoe. The family’s businesses included the timber and steamship industries; in 1927 they built their Tahoe estate on the North Shore in the area now known as Dollar Point. The Dollar family (particularly R. Stanley Dollar. Jr.) is well known in Tahoe boating circles and is featured in exhibits at the Tahoe Maritime Museum Tamarack comes with an iconic Dollar Steamship Company pennant.
The boat hasn’t ever been fully restored, rather it had received expert maintenance over the years, primarily at Sierra Boat Co. All of the wood is original. The bottom was fiberglassed in the late 60’s, which probably helped in the preservation. Sierra re-fiberglassed the bottom in the 90’s. It currently has a mid 60’s vintage 330 hp 440 Chrysler, but the original Scripps 202 goes with the boat and can be easily installed. The green upholstery is leather. It comes on a custom built trailer.

Rogue landlords forced to clean up their act under new measures to protect renters
Landlords in Hackney must bring more than 1,500 privately rented homes blighted by serious hazards or disrepair up to scratch or face prosecution or financial penalties after new powers to protect the borough’s growing number of private renters were approved.
The new property licensing measures will mean that landlords letting out a property in the Brownswood, Cazenove and Stoke Newington wards will need to hold a licence requiring them to meet acceptable standards.
Landlords of Hackney’s 4,000 Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) – homes with two or more households and shared facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets – will also have to apply for a licence under the new arrangements approved by the Council’s Cabinet last night (19 March).
The measures follow research commissioned as part of the Council’s Better Renting campaign, which estimates that more than 15% of the 4,700 privately rented homes in these three wards, and one in five of all HMOs across the borough suffer from serious hazards ranging from damp and mould to dangerous boilers, exposed wiring and vermin infestations. This means that over 1,500 properties covered by the new licensing schemes don’t meet minimum standards and will need to be brought into line by their landlords.
Affected landlords who don’t acquire a licence or fail to comply with its conditions will face a fixed penalty, a criminal prosecution leading to an unlimited fine, or be forced to pay back up to a year’s rent. Serious offenders can be served with a banning order, preventing them from letting out a property, and placed on a rogue landlords database.
As a long term renter in Hackney myself, I’ve experienced first hand a private rented sector in which the odds are stacked all too firmly in favour of landlords. These new measures are a milestone in our commitment to challenging this and creating a better system for renters in the borough.
We know that many landlords provide a good service to their tenants, but all too many fail to do so. Introducing additional property licensing will mean landlords will have to bring hundreds of homes up to scratch in hazard hotspots where conditions are at their worst.
In Hackney we’ve always provided advice and support to those struggling in the private sector and pushed government to do more to help renters - but this move shows that we’re also willing to intervene in the market to get renters the protection they deserve.
The move is the latest initiative in the Council’s Better Renting campaign, which aims to protect Hackney’s 33,000 private renting households and tackle the minority of landlords who take advantage of this growth in demand by letting out homes that don’t meet modern standards and put tenants’ safety at risk. The campaign has already seen the Council lead the way by introducing a voluntary ban on letting fees charged to tenants, on-the-spot fines for rogue landlords, and plans for new living rent homes.
One in three households in Hackney now rents privately, leading to rent increases of 36% since 2011. A two bedroom privately rented home now costs over £1,800 a month on average.

Got an Anxious Kid? Why You Should Name Your Child’s Anxiety.
Part 2 of a 5 Part Series on Child Anxiety
Read it, watch it, whatever works for you.
Children with anxiety can be self-haters. I’ve seen this over and over again in my therapy practice. Anxious kids tell me they feel stupid, insecure and paranoid. They wonder why they are paralyzed with fear, while everyone around them looks just fine. A child’s anxiety can cause tons of self-doubt.
Anxiety is a self-esteem killer. Trust me, I know. I’ve been there. You can help your anxious child by naming your child’s anxiety. We aren’t trying to crush them, we are trying to crush their anxiety. You can do this by teaming up with your child and making your child’s anxiety the nemesis for both of you!
The first thing I do when I meet a child with anxiety in my practice is to 1) explain the signs of child anxiety and how anxiety works and 2) give the child’s anxiety a name of their choice.
I have helped kids with anxiety crush a:
Mr. False Alarm
And a zillion other names children with anxiety have given to their ultimate nemesis.
When your child’s anxiety has a name, instead of saying this to your anxious child:
“You’re fine. Go to sleep!”
You’d say this…
“Tell your Worry Cloud to leave you alone. Tell your worry cloud that you are safe in this house.”
The first sentence doesn’t address your child’s anxiety and will probably make them feel frustrated and misunderstood.
The second sentence talks to your child’s anxiety, not your child and it offers your anxious child alternative thoughts to fight back and beat anxiety.
I have watched this simplistic approach help thousands of anxious children in my therapy practice (and three of my own). When you externalize your child’s anxiety and creating a wacky character they are trying to defeat, you build their skills much faster.
This is Part 2 of a 5 Part Series on child anxiety. If you missed Part 1 check it out here. Part 1 talks about unusual signs of anxiety in Children.
Coming up next in Part 3 – the most important thing parents can be doing to help their anxious kids. Don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel so you don’t miss the rest of the series!

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.


The Oldenburg Academy boys varsity soccer team suffered a 2-1 loss to the host Seymour Owls.
The game was scoreless through the first half before both team we able to find the back of the net.
“Seymour had us back on our heels for much of the first half,” OA coach Ken Getz commented. “They are very quick to the ball and they like to spread you out.
Most of the play was on our defense side which is never good. It is more taxing to play defense than it is offense,” he added.
After a few halftime adjustments and some rejuvenated play by the offense, the Twisters were able to take a 1-0 lead.
Hayden Johnson scored at the 8:01 mark in the second period assisted by Taylor Reed.
“Taylor took a distance shot that was bobbled by the keeper,” Getz commented. “Hayden rushed the goal on the shot and was in the right place for the rebound and put it in the back of the net.”
Unfortunately, lightning stopped the game at the 11:50 mark.
The Owls took advantage of the break in play and regained the momentum when play resumed.
“Seymour came out after the break and put us back on our heels again,” Getz commented. “We got beat on a throw in behind our defense for the first goal ... a goal that deflected off one of our defenders.”
The Owls scored the game-winner with less than a minute to play in the contest.
Jeremy Kelnhofer had another good game in the goal as Seymour kept him busy all night, according to Getz. He finished with 10 saves.
Seymour had 22 shots with 12 on goal.

Jordan snubs Adams' offer of a place in his Portsmouth team 'forever' by following Redknapp to Spurs
Portsmouth first-team coach Joe Jordan has struck another blow to Tony Adams' reign at Fratton Park by announcing he is to follow former manager Harry Redknapp to Tottenham.
The 56-year-old Scot spent four years as part of the backroom staff at Fratton Park - during which time he briefly took charge of the first team on a caretaker basis - but after the appointment of assistant manager Adams as Redknapp's replacement Jordan has departed.
Adams has already been turned down by former Arsenal team-mate Martin Keown in his search for coaching assistance and is reported to have also been in contact with another ex-Gunner Dennis Bergkamp.
Cross purposes: Joe Jordan has decided to walk out on new Pompey boss Tony Adams
Meet the new team, same as the old team: Kevin Bond, Harry Redknapp and Joe Jordan, here occupying the Portsmouth bench, have now moved lock, stock and barrel to White Hart Lane
Jordan's departure increases the pressure on Adams to unveil his own coaching team quickly, particularly after the Pompey boss said on Monday that Jordan would not be leaving the club.
Adams said then: ‘Joe is part of the team, 100 per cent, and I want him here forever. He's a good ally and he will do the same job as he's always done. I don't think there was ever a question of him going.
'He’s going to have a conversation with his family and we'll see where we go this week. But he's definitely going to be involved somewhere at the club.’
Jordan was seen as one of Redknapp’s close confidants, having been assistant to Redknapp during both of his stints at Fratton Park.
Jordan, an old-style centre forward with Leeds and Manchester United, is the only Scot to score in three World Cups.

Ted Cruz barnstorms Indiana as state’s primary proves pivotal in GOP race
Ted Cruz stood on a basketball court in this movie-set-perfect small town and predicted the Hoosier State would provide the boost his campaign needed to stop Donald Trump from securing the Republican presidential nomination. Now, that outcome is seriously in doubt.
Ahead of Tuesday's pivotal primary, new polling shows Trump widening his lead in Indiana in what is shaping up to be a last stand for Cruz — and the GOP establishment — to block the billionaire businessman's momentum.
Party leaders appear increasingly resigned to Trump's forward march. But not Cruz. The Texas senator barnstormed the state, making an appeal to Hoosiers' pragmatic Midwestern sensibilities and asking them not to hand the election to Trump. It's crucial to Cruz's political survival if he has any hope of pressing on to a final showdown in delegate-rich California on June 7.
“Indiana has a chance to choose: Do we want to support a campaign that is based on yelling and screaming and cursing and insults? Or do we want to unify behind a positive, optimistic, forward-looking, conservative campaign, based on real policy solutions to the problems facing this country?” Cruz said Sunday on “Meet the Press,” echoing the line he used repeatedly on the trail here. “I am going to beat Donald Trump. We are headed to a contested convention, and we're gonna win.”
Not in a generation have Indiana voters been asked to make such a decision. Usually, the state's primary arrives too late in the nominating process for its outcome to matter much. This year, the state's winner-take-all 57 delegates could determine the party's nominee.
Many have been alternately tickled and flummoxed by the attention.
“There's plenty of votes up for grab — everywhere,” said David Buskill, executive director of the state Republican Party.
Cheryl Hammer is a caterer, not a political party activist, but she lingered at the Cruz stop in Knightstown to savor the moment.
“To actually have someone who's running for president come by is huge,” said the 30-year resident of the area, who's leaning toward Cruz because she finds him more presidential than Trump in a part of the country where manners still matter. “I'll probably never see this again in my lifetime.”
In some ways, Indiana should have been Cruz country, a chance to duplicate his victories in Iowa and Wisconsin. Midwestern voters often bristle at Trump's bravado, and Cruz is using a homespun approach to endear himself. He announced former Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Carly Fiorina as his running mate here to boost attention, particularly with female voters.
But Cruz has found himself struggling. Indiana is a top manufacturing state, and Trump's appeal to blue-collar workers who have seen companies relocate abroad runs strong. Plans by companies like Carrier and Nabisco to shift operations outside the U.S. have become rallying cries at Trump's rallies, including one at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
“I'm not playing games with Indiana,” Trump said, his image projected on the Jumbotron and his slogan “Make America Great Again” spelled out in arena lights.
Frank and Shirlene Sundvall, who drove to the rally from Shelbyville, where they operate rental properties, climbed into their van pleased.
“We're hard-core Trumpers,” Frank Sundvall said. His wife said she had been converting voters one by one — at the Burger King during lunch the other day and at the library where she used the public computer to print out Trump tickets.
“Hope is finally coming back to the silent majority,” he said. “Hope is coming back to America.”
Money is pouring into Indiana as Republican-aligned groups take one last swing at stopping Trump.
A super PAC backing Cruz has spent about $2 million in TV and radio ads, while other groups, including the Club for Growth and the Never Trump campaign, are running spots propping up Cruz's conservative credentials.
In a sign of how important Indiana has become to the nominating process, Cruz and rival John Kasich entered an unusual nonaggression pact in which the Ohio governor stood down here, so as not to split the vote against Trump, in return for Cruz doing the same ahead of later primaries in Oregon and New Mexico.
Voters, though, soured on the deal, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll Sunday that gave Trump a 15-percentage-point lead. It was something of an outlier in an average of recent polls, where Trump still maintains about a 4-percentage-point edge, but he led in all three surveys conducted after the deal was announced.
The agreement left Trump and Cruz in their first one-to-one battle. Trump has swooped in to deliver rock-star-like performances to stadium crowds hungry for his showmanship, while Cruz grinds it out mile by mile in a bus tour, crisscrossing the state.
At times it has been brutal: Trump mocked Cruz for arriving in Hoosier Country and calling a basketball hoop a “ring.” A Trump endorsement by former boxer Mike Tyson prompted Cruz to warn voters off a candidate backed by a convicted rapist.
Republican Gov. Mike Pence belatedly backed Cruz. Trump nabbed an endorsement from famed basketball coach Bobby Knight.
What Indiana lacks in demographic diversity, it makes up for as a Republican melting pot — an increasingly red state that stretches from the conservative Rust Belt of the north, to the establishment strongholds of Indianapolis, to the evangelical and rural working-class south.
It's what Buskill calls a crossroads of America — a state that chose President Obama in 2008 but shifted to Republican nominee Mitt Romney in 2012.
As Cruz traveled the state, he began badgering Trump as much as Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, and mocking the billionaire businessman as a candidate who “likes to parachute in, like Mick Jagger, show up at a football stadium, give some performance and then leave.”
“This country isn't a reality show,” Cruz said at a breakfast stop at Sisters Pancake House near downtown Indianapolis, going table to table, with his wife, Heidi, “to look voters in the eye, answer their questions, to show some humility and subject yourself to the scrutiny of Hoosiers.”
Sara Hess, a mother of three small girls, said she liked Cruz even more after chatting with him about children's birthday parties.
“He spent so much time here,” she said, cradling her newborn in the parking lot as her husband, Abram, pushed the stroller. “He made us feel we matter — and we do for once.”
But the heralded organization that propelled Cruz in earlier contests was slow to get going here, and volunteers only belatedly ramped up efforts to call voters and knock on doors. More pointedly, he has failed to stir the grass-roots conservatives who pushed him past Trump elsewhere.
“Truth for me is, I support anything that is not Trump,” said Jason Chambers, a millennial who works in sales and came to see Cruz at a diner. “I wouldn't say I necessarily support Cruz, but I want Trump to go away.”
Cruz is making a last-ditch appeal to Hoosiers' “good sense” and “good judgment” to deny Trump a victory that would edge him closer to the 1,237 delegates needed for the nomination.
“The eyes of the nation are gazing upon you,” he said in tiny Knightstown.
His venue of choice? The gym used as a set in the come-from-behind basketball classic “Hoosiers.”

After students understand the fertilizer grade and its components, give each pair a picture, or have them find their own picture of fertilizer bags. Students then calculate the nutrient content of the bag of fertilizer.
Students should save their nutrient content information for the next activity.
Activity Two: Testing Soil for Fertilizer Application
Students learn about the soil nutrients in their local environment.
Two class periods, may be spread out over time depending on whether you send your soil samples out for testing or conduct the tests in your classroom.
Call your local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRDC) and see if they will analyze soil samples for your class. You can locate your local NRDC office using the U.S. Department of Agriculture web site: http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app
Another alternative is to purchase a soil sample kit so your students can test the soil themselves. Many different options are available on-line. One example is eNasco’s Soil Test Kit available for $13.35. This kit has enough equipment to test the pH, nitrogen, potash, and phosphorus for 10 soil samples.

Maturo names 200 Tyler Street commission to East Haven community group’s dismay
Community group not happy with five appointed members
EAST HAVEN >> Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. named five members of the Blue Ribbon Commission tasked with making a final recommendation for developing the old East Haven High School building at 200 Tyler St.
“Everybody who I chose brings something the commission will need,” Maturo said. “Some have experience in building, some in how to run a committee, all five people have their own little niche that will help us move forward.”
In a letter dated Nov. 25, Maturo invited Paul Carbo, Robert Limoncelli, Marlene Asid, Chuck Lang and Steven DeLucia to be members of the newly-formed commission. The commission is expected to work with town officials, state legislature and other grant authorities to explore cost options, as funding the project has been a concern in the past. The mayor set a firm deadline of Feb. 2, 2016, to make a recommendation.
Members of the community group 200 Tyler Street Committee are concerned the new commission will be influenced by Maturo and do not trust that the mayor’s appointed members will be willing to work with them, according to spokeswoman Linda Hargrave.
“We have very huge concerns about the whole thing,” Hargrave said. “Our biggest concern is that they’re just going to rubber-stamp what the mayor wants to do.”
Carbo, chairman of the East Haven Republican Town Committee and a former town council member, spearheaded the town’s prior efforts to redevelop the property.
Limoncelli previously served on numerous commissions and is current president of the East Haven Fall Festival and serves on the Economic Development Commission. Lang was a town council member for 12 years and currently is a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals. DeLucia is a member of the School Building Committee. Asid currently serves on the town’s Ethics Board and the Civil Service Commission.
Maturo said he chose each member due to their previous involvement in the town and believes the group has the proper credentials.
“In the past, you have been involved in a number of civic and town-related activities and I believe you will bring a unique and valuable perspective to the discussions regarding the 200 Tyler Street property,” Maturo said in the letter.
Asid said there is a lot of work that needs to be done before the mayor’s February deadline.
“I look forward to coming to a solution that is satisfactory to the good of the community, the town and the neighbors,“ Asid said. “I think there are some ideas that have been looked at in the past so we will probably start there.”
Plans for the 240,000-square-foot building have caused controversy among residents concerned about the facility’s use. The 200 Tyler Street Committee, formed last December, opposes a plan to turn the building into senior housing and prefers it be used for community purposes under control of the town.
Hargrave said the committee was offended that the mayor did not include anyone from their group to be on the Blue Ribbon Commission.
“No one from the biddy basketball program was included, no one from the historical society, it’s a joke,” Hargrave said. “To the whole 200 Tyler Street Committee it was a slap in the face. It’s the same old, same old.”
Currently, the building is only used by the town’s youth basketball program, which uses the gymnasium, residents who use the pool, and the East Haven Historical Society.
Hargrave said she and the rest of the 200 Tyler Street Committee plan to attend each open meeting and express their ideas.
Maturo said the process for the old high school will be transparent and well-advertised. A list was compiled of residents living within the area of the property and they will be notified of the commission’s actions through electronic and paper mailings, according to Maturo.

3 Individuals were arrested for illegal logging in Apayao
Personnel from Luna MPS and Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) Calanasan arrested three individuals for violation of PD 705 or “The Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines” at Purok 1, Brgy Luyon, Luna, Apayao in the evening of August 2, 2021.
Based on reports submitted to PBGEN RONALD OLIVER LEE, Regional Director, the suspects were identified as Edgar Corales Silao, 52; Elmer Corales Silao, 55; and Ethel Ibana Butac, 39, all residents of Luna, Apayao.
According to Luna MPS, a phone call from Brgy Kagawad Erwin Aquino Balderama that he has in his custody three (3) drivers of a motorcycle with a sidecar transporting illegally sawn lumbers prompted them to coordinate with CENRO Calanasan and responded immediately to the reported place.
Upon arrival, Forester Louie Veles asked the suspects for any pertinent permit from DENR but failed to show any documents that resulted in their arrest.
Confiscated from them were 12 pieces of sawn lumber with a total of 380.33 board feet with a market value amounting to more or less Php 11,409.90 and three motorized tricycles used for the supposed transportation of the lumbers.
Arrested suspects were brought into the custody of Luna MPS for the filing of appropriate charges against them while the illegally sawn lumbers were properly turned over to CENRO Calanasan for documentation and proper disposition. (PROCOR-PIO)

SC must redraw House district lines in lawsuit settlement
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - South Carolina lawmakers have about a week to adjust state House district lines as part of a settlement in a voting rights lawsuit.
The American Civil Liberties Union announced the settlement Thursday, saying it requires lawmakers to redraw districts “in some of the most historically significant areas of the state for Black voters by passing new maps this session.”
“Today is a victory for the Black community in South Carolina. Today marks a historical occasion: our political leadership has listened to our grievances and is working to create a more equitable political landscape,” South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP President Brenda Murphy said. “We have successfully petitioned our government for increased political access, and now Black communities in Richland/Kershaw, Orangeburg, and Dillon/Horry will have a greater chance of electing their preferred candidates. But this is just a first step to providing equitable voting power for Black South Carolinians. We will continue to work with our elected officials to ensure that all our communities have a voice in our democratic institutions.”
Under the agreement, the state Senate must amend the map “as soon as practical” and it must be signed by Gov. Henry McMaster by May 17.
South Carolina House Speaker Jay Lucas’s office released a statement from Mark Moore, a partner at Nexsen Pruet Law Firm, who represented the House in the case:
Certainty in our voting process is one of the greatest virtues we have in South Carolina — and trust in that process is of crucial importance to our people. With this settlement, we will end costly litigation with a decision that is reasonable for voters and allows voters to have confidence in the electoral process.
The groups were poised to go to trial on May 16 if an agreement had not been reached. They are still headed to trial over the U.S. congressional map this fall.
“This agreement is a historic victory for South Carolina voters and the constitutional guarantee of fair maps,” American Civil Liberties Union attorney Somil Trivedi. “State legislatures hold so many critical rights in their hands, making it all the more vital that the people choose those representatives — not the other way around.”
The case was brought on behalf of the South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP and an individual voter, Taiwan Scott.
The lawsuit alleged racial gerrymandering and intentional discrimination in 29 districts aimed at diluting the voting power of Black voters, according to a release from the ACLU.
The case was filed in U.S. District Court in Columbia.
The SCNAACP and Scott are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. (LDF), the ACLU of South Carolina, Boroughs Bryant LLC, Arnold & Porter, and the General Counsel’s Office of the NAACP.

KEY CHAIN: How Haywood beat Carter in the quarterfinals
The Haywood boys' basketball team had to rely on a late rally to stay alive in the Class AA state tournament at the Murphy Center. The Tomcats beat Carter 74-69 on Thursday to advance to Friday's semifinal.
Haywood (33-2) faces Christ Presbyterian Academy at 4:30 p.m.
Here were the keys to Haywood's victory:
1. Sophomore Dedric Boyd had his first 20-point game of the season at the right time. Boyd scored 10 of those points in the third quarter with Jordon Varnado struggling with foul trouble.
2. Haywood ended the game on a flurry. With Carter leading 69-67, senior Detarion Boyd nailed a 3-pointer from the corner, the Tomcats got a steal, senior Jalen Benton hit a lay-up, Haywood got a defensive stop and Varnado laid down a dunk in the final 30 seconds.
3. Rebounding. Haywood dominated the glass and outrebounded Carter 47-37 with a 17-9 advantage on the offensive glass. Varnado led the way with 15 rebounds.
4. Varnado dealt with his foul trouble like a veteran and did not foul out. Varnado finished with a team-high 21 points to go along with his 15 rebounds.

Planned repair work on Winchester Dam near Roseburg, Oregon, has led to emergency salvage efforts for Pacific lamprey. It’s just the latest concern from environmentalists who are opposed to the dam on the North Umpqua River.
A police officer shot and killed a man at a temporary warming shelter in Roseburg just before 1 a.m. Tuesday. Police say the man had been staying at the shelter in the Roseburg Senior Center when he stabbed several people.
The blaze known as the Jack Creek Fire was reported at about 5 p.m. Monday. Fire officials said the fire grew quickly given the steep terrain, abundance of fuels and inaccessibility. It was estimated at about 900 acres in size.

Aretha Franklin passed away last year from pancreatic cancer. Today, three handwritten wills were discovered in her Michigan home. Under South Carolina law, Aretha Franklin’s handwritten wills would likely not be valid since they were not signed with two witnesses. However, a personal property distribution in this format likely would be held valid.Read More
Filtering by Tag: Will
A will came across my desk to review after someone passed away. It was a fill-in-the-blank will printed off the internet. Better than nothing? Maybe. Did it distribute assets to the family members this person wanted? No. Did it avoid the need for additional court involvement (and costs)? No.
Filling in the blanks seems easy enough, but if you aren't familiar with drafting wills, it is extremely easy to miss something or not include something that is necessary. If you didn't spend years reading and translating Latin in law school, you might not know the significance of seemingly extraneous terms.
You can pay to do it right or your family can pay to have it fixed later. Paying to deal with mistakes after death is generally much more time consuming, difficult and costs more than if it were done correctly to begin with.
Do you have a will you're unsure about? Call us today to make sure your estate plan and will are right.
If you want a quick answer to a simple health question, you might search online. But, if you want customized care, tailored to your exact health situation and patient history, you'll go see a doctor. And if your head hurts, you won't make an appointment with the podiatrist.
The same applies to Estate Planning, and the consequences of poor planning can have a lasting detrimental effect on your loved ones after your passing.
If you want a customized plan made specifically for you, your financial situation, your family, marital status, health wishes, and anything else that is important to you, you'll need an attorney who focuses on comprehensive estate planning. Online forms and fill in the blanks are not a substitute for competent legal advice.
A website can generate a will; an attorney can give you advice; but the right attorney will be able to provide tailored advice and the right legal documents to ensure your wishes are carried out after your passing.


Standing in a shed far from Dublin, comparing and contrasting the tails of different cow breeds; intermittently the cows raise their tail and dispense a ‘fragrant’ surprise. It’s not glamorous, but to properly see the environment and its users and study the ethnographics of a somewhat unusual field, it was important to quite literally get our hands dirty!
An SMS calving alert sensor, Moocall, texts you when calving has started. Moocall is the first of its kind; easy to use, non-invasive and cost effective solution for live calf birth monitoring.
Moocall was developed and radically changed over the duration of the design discovery stage mainly due to the rapid learning methods implemented on site on the farm. Our clients involvement was an intrinsic part of the design process in implementing the constant rapid learning throughout the project and their involvement helps keep design costs down. Rapid learning on the farm taking just hours could save days to replicate similar conditions in the office.
The drastic changes that evolved from this process were a complete form change to counter the cow’s natural curiosity to eat, lick and crush the Moocall units. Moocall is over engineered to withstand the harsh environment that it is to be used in come rain or shine!

|'January' from 'The Months', by Robert Dighton|
Great Britain, c. 1785.
Victoria and Albert Museum
Museum no. E.33-1947
I love all the fashionable accessories depicted in this 1785, British water color. And is it just me, or do those chairs look like they have slip covers? Did they use slip covers that long ago?
So back to her outfit. The lady has a powdered and frizzled hair style, covered with a large dormeuse style cap, trimmed with green ribbon that matches the bows on her rust-colored gown. I imagine the dress is silk. It looks nice a shiny in the water color. The sleeves are long and trimmed at the wrist with small ruffles that look embroidered. She wears a kerchief, tucked into her gown. Her petticoat, which is a light pink, is trimmed in a ruffle and looks like it may be scalloped or pinked at the edge. Over it, she wears a very delicate and sheer apron. The apron looks to be embroidered with white work. Her shawl has a small repeating print - maybe embroidered or roller-printed? Her shoes are light pink - maybe silk? They have latchets and buckles that appear to be silver.
I love her outfit. I especially like the long sleeves, which you don't see every day, and that apron is beautiful! Where ever will I find sheer enough fabric to recreate one?
Are those people out the window ice skating? Looks fun :)

Synthetic Fiber Carpet : what materials ?
The fiber nylon was introduced first by the DuPont Chemical Company in 1938. Several years later, after a great deal of evelopment, nylon became the first synthetic fiber to be used in the entire carpeting industry.
The first 3 generations of fiber experienced many problems with the worst being staining, explains Carpet Cleaning Charlotte . The 4th generation fiber of nylon had a mill applied coating that solved a majority of the staining problems. The ability of the fiber to repel water and oil based spills as well as soil helped to propel nylon into the top selling carpet fibers out there.
After several other changes, the DuPont company introduced the fifth generation nylon fiber. This stain resistant fiber would repel most dye stains if treated in a reasonable time. This fiber is more accurately called an acid dye blocker in that it doesn’t allow acid dyes to penetrate and stain the fiber.
The protective coating mill is applied and fills the dye sites with anionic molecules.
An easy way to test fiber for the presence of a fluorochemical is to cut a couple of fibers from a non traffic area and apply a few drops of oil and water mixture. If it beads up, then there is an active fluorochemical present.
Whenever testing for the presence of the acid dye blocker, you should again cut a couple of fibers from a non traffic area, then immerse the fibers in a red kool-aid mixture and wait for 5 minutes
or so. Remove the fiber from the liquid and flush with neutral detergent solution. If the acid blockers are present and active, there will be no discoloration.
The fiber of polyester was first introduced into the garment industry around in the 1950s, says Recrutement dans l Industrie . By the late 1960s, polyester was introduced into the carpet industry as a face yarn. In hand, feel, and appearance it is similar to nylon, although it doesn’t possess that same resiliency.

The endless waves that writhe into the horizon can be an image that fills you with terror and awe. While some people find the idea of plunging into the depths of the ocean unnerving, others find it adventurous or even relaxing. In any case, a sense of trepidation is nearly unavoidable before you don the diving equipment and immerse yourself into the aquatic world, but fortune favors the bold. The reward comes in form of staggering underwater landscapes and vivacious aquatic life. If you are up for such an escapade, here are the top ten diving spots around the world.
Koh Tao, Thailand
Koh Tao is amazing for beginners. It has some mesmerizing hotspots quite close to the land and these shore dives are a convenient way to introduce yourself to the world of diving if you lack skill or experience. While you are at it, tour the submerged highlights such as the wreck of HTMS Sattakut, and marvel at the marine life that has made it its home.
Great Blue Hole, Belize
From the bird’s-eye perspective, the Great Blue Hole looks like a terrifying mouth into the belly of the chthonic leviathan. However, its depths will unveil the all-encompassing assembly of wonders for all of those that dare enter its depths. 15 meters into the deep blue, and the water will begin to shimmer as you transition from a salt-water to the fresh-water environment. The stalagmites and stalactites of the ancient caverns below are a sight to behold.
The Riviera Maya, Mexico
Since we mentioned stalagmites and stalactites, visit the Riviera Maya which is one of Mexico’s most beloved holiday spots. Cenotes sinkhole offers a plethora of beautiful cave systems that are worth exploring. While there are “easy mode” caverns to explore, make sure to seek out the help of professional guides if you want to go deeper into the system.
Thistlegorm, Egyptian Red Sea
This famous location is practically an art installation. It is a cargo ship wreck which is filled with trucks, train carriages and plentiful motorbikes. Since the depth is not that intimidating (29 meters), it has become the popular night dive spot and the location looks truly haunting and dreamlike under the beams of underwater lamps.
Lady Elliot Island, Queensland
Lady Elliot Island is a beautiful slice of tropicana, but the underwater landscapes that surround it are a marvelous getaway. You will need premium scuba diving gear to accommodate long diving sessions, because it is so easy to get swept away by the gentle mosaic of sand and coral. It boasts one of the best diving sites of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. A true selling point of its waters is the residential manta ray population and the best underwater visibility you can get.
Blue Corner Wall, Palau
Micronesia is a treasure trove of diving spots, but Blue Corner Wall takes the spot because it is just so vivacious. The resplendent aquatic fauna is very active in the vicinity and it can be a hypnotizing experience to gaze at the twirls and interactions of pelagic fish.
Gozo and Comino, Malta
Somewhere between the Maltese islands of Gozo and Comino lies an aquatic world beyond reproach. It has been said that these diving spots have the most ornate underwater topography in the northern hemisphere – a kaleidoscope of surprising variations of caves, arches and valleys that compose a natural masterpiece.
Kailua Kona, Hawaii
For another night dive that will have your jaw hit the sand floor, look into the manta ray feeding spots near Kailua Kona. As the surrounding waters attract the gargantuan colonies of plankton, manta rays tend to flock here and feed. This is an excellent opportunity to inspect these graceful creatures up close.
Liberty Wreck, Bali
Liberty Wreck tops numerous lists of the best diving spots for a good reason. The abundant flora and fauna of the deep have made this shell of a ship into their home, which means that the colorful landscape in front of the divers offers interesting variations and constant surprises. It is a favored spot among the underwater photographers.
The Bahamas in the Caribbean offer an “all-in” package for both avid divers and amateurs alike. Impressive marine life, the decrepit Spanish galleons, playful dolphins, caves, blue holes and a set of other wonders await those who are ready or an all-encompassing diving adventure!
71% of our planet’s surface is covered by water, so the aquatic world is vast and mysterious. Most of us will never get a chance to witness the most astonishing and the most awe-inspiring sights beneath the waves, but we can at least have the taste of that otherworldly landscape by plunging into the most lauded depths around. It is a chance to touch infinity and grasp the ceaseless wonder of the world and maybe even the universe.

On Monday, August 21, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun.
Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature's most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse.
This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina.
Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse.
Although total solar eclipses are not rare, they generally take decades to return to the same region of the Earth.
It has been 38 years since the last total eclipse on the U.S. mainland. During the last total eclipse over North America on February 26, 1979, the line of totality passed through the northwestern part of the country and into Canada.
A video posted to YouTube has excerpts from ABC News special coverage of the eclipse in 1979.
Correspondent Frank Reynolds refers to the historical nature of the event saying, "A total eclipse of the sun, visible today over North America for the last time in this century."
Reynolds closed the report with this quote about the eclipse of August 21, 2017, "May the shadow of the moon fall in a world of peace."
The next total solar eclipse will travel north through Mexico and across the eastern United States in April 2024. The next eclipse to visit the West will happen in August 2045.
