Deep into a full summer season of memorable music festivals, one of the Appalachian area’s more popular yearly events is about to happen: Appaloosa,the three-day bluegrass and folk music and arts festival that will return to the beautiful locale of Front Royal, Virginia, running from tomorrow, August 30, through Sunday, September 1st. The festival is set to see a huge lineup of musical performances, with sets from the likes of The Steep Canyon Rangers, Dustbowl Revival, Yarn, Fireside Collective, and a bunch more.
Appaloosa is founded and hosted every year by Scythian, the Celtic string-rock band that has been a highly coveted fixture of the Washington DC music scene for well over a decade now. Danylo Fedoryka, one of two founding brothers of the band, as well as its rhythm guitarst and accordion player, gave The Poke Around the lowdown on Appaloosa’s impressive success rate, it’s ideals, and of course it’s background.
Dan Fedoryka: “We were starting in DC, and we had made a name for ourselves, playing every Thursday for five years, in Chinatown. We were the house band for an Irish club in Chinatown, and playing to four hundred people every Thursday for five years, we just became this really strong DC band. Like, we sold out 9:30 club three times. So we were like, okay, we have this really strong DC following, but we’re always leaving DC to find work. There’s a huge void here. If we were to throw a music festival an hour or so away from DC, it could really be successful. And sure enough, our first year we had 3500 people, our second year we had 4500, and last year we had 6200. So the growth has been really great.
Being a performing band for all that time certainly seems to have helped Scythian understand how to book for a weekend of music, and they’ve managed each year to book bands that they personally admire but that are also highly popular across the americana music festival circuit.
Fedoryka: When we book the bands, we try to book bands that have real camaraderie on stage as well. When we look at who to book, we look at whether they have that IT factor of just loving to play and loving to be with each other. It’s been amazing, because we have all different genres: bluegrass, Americana, bands coming from Ireland, indie folk bands…so for those who come, the music is always different, but the vibe is alway the same. People just loving life, loving being with other, and that vibe is always matched in the audience. So the end result is always this whirlpool of joy.
As far as this year’s lineup goes, 2019 is seeing the festival’s biggest and most ambitious one yet. Fedoryka further commented on some of the artists he was most excited about being able to book this year.
Fedoryka: The fact that we got The Steep Canyon Rangers this year, oh boy. They’re one of my favorite bluegrass acts on the circuit to watch. And to hang out with, after the shows. For years, would never have thought they would come and play our festival, and now they’re here, I can’t believe we pulled it off. You know it’s funny, we’ve never jammed on stage together before, but it would be fun to see if we could make it happen at this Appaloosa. We go on after them, so they could actually pull it off.
And Yarn, oh my gosh! They’re some of the best personalities out there, and to have them play right before Steep Canyon Rangers and then us should be killer. And Friday, to have Humminghouse is great. They’re not touring as much as they used to before, but they’re the only band that’s been here all five years, so they’re definitely festival favorites. And then we have this band helping us close out Saturday night we found at MerlFest but who are from our backyard right in DC actually, Aztec Sun. That’s gonna be awesome.
Then there’s The Tan and Sober Gentleman. Those guys are NUTS. Seven of them, out of North Carolina, trying to get into the festival scene. If Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy had a baby, it would be these guys. Super fun. They’re gonna host late night for two straight nights, but then we’ve paired them with other bands. But their energy is just through the roof, so that’s gonna keep the party going.
In addition to all these anticipated performers, Scythian also plays six full sets of music themselves across the weekend, between three main stage sets and then also a few daytime children sets. The Poke Around asked how the band likes to approach thinking about headlining their own festival event.
Fedoryka: “Up until now, it’s been closer to: what happens, happens. Partially because, we have a lot of fans that travel, and a lot of fans that have been seeing up for our fifteen years. And the general feedback has been: ‘I’ve never seen a more energetic Scythian show than here.’ And, we’ve toyed with the idea of blowing it out, and having this huge production, with horns and everything, but part of it has been that there’s something in the crowd and energy of us playing for our hometown, that we like to keep it just us.”
Yet Appaloosa reaches far beyond its musical performances to be a fully cultural, multi-faceted experience. The festival hosts cultural shops and vendors, demonstrations of various artistry, workshops, and more.
Fedoryka: “I’m friends with Stan Strickland, who runs DelFest. And he had some sage words of advice: If you don’t find an outlet for everybody that wants to do different sort of things, it’s gonna go bad. Most of the adults want to be hanging out, listening to music, have a beer in the beer garden. So you’ll have all these families with kids, and then all these young professionals, and it’s seamless, and it’s so organic. The way we have it situated, it flows so naturally. And that’s something I’m proud of, because when we started out, we were in our twenties. But those that have been following us from the beginning, they have families now. And they could never come see us when we’re in clubs, but they can come now. And we have a kids stage that features free music workshops. Last year, for instance, Mandolin Orange headlined, but then also did a songwriting workshop. That’s been the advantage of being a band for fifteen touring years. We just sat down one day, and asked ourselves: what are our favorite elements of every festival we’ve ever done? And what we actually did was took video cameras to festival season, and anything cool we saw, we emailed to our buddies. So we’ve basically just been gathering our favorite elements of other festivals, and I think it’s beginning to bear fruit at our fest.”
So just remember while you’re watching Scythian tear up their own main stage, they’re also just ahead and behind of more planning, more managing, even cleanup, which the band handles themselves. Fedoryka commented on that multiplicity.
Fedoryka: What’s fun for me is that I’m hanging out with friends that I grew up with, friends I’ve met on the road, and then all my musician friends, as well. So basically all my favorite people in life have converged in my hometown, under the stars. But it’s almost a weird feeling, to be honest. It’s come full circle. To be hanging out with people that used to book me, but as a peer now. But I’ll also come and play their event as a musician. So straddling two different worlds, I love it. I didn’t think it was going to be this cool, but it’s pretty awesome.

Singer 8763 Curvy Sewing Machine
The minute or so it takes to thread a sewing machine, passing the thread through guides, loops, the take-up lever and the needle, might not seem very long. But multiplied by the frequency that most home sewers perform this action, it adds up to a considerable amount of time. In addition, there are the 20 or so seconds required to load the bobbin and draw up the thread through the throat plate. Over many years and many sewing projects, a considerable amount of time is spent on fussing with thread.
Singer has streamlined both processes in the Singer 8763 Curvy Sewing Machine. Threading requires passing the strand through a simple path from the spool to the needle. A lever located on the left side of the sewing arm pulls the thread through the needle. The bobbin is dropped into the case and the thread is guided through a grove on the throat plate cover and drawn up automatically with the first stitch. Not only do these innovations save time, they also reduce eye strain as there are no tiny eyelets to pass the thread through.
Simple and appealingly designed, the 8763 Curvy is a mid-range, general-purpose sewing machine for the home sewer who wants versatility and ease of use. The 30 built-in stitches are sufficient for most projects and include six basic, five stretch, 17 decorative and two automatic buttonholes. An attractive and easy-to-read front panel includes push-button selection and sliding levers for stitch length and width. The Curvy will automatically select a length and width for each stitch but the user can change these easily. The symbols that represent stitches and functions are easy to interpret and led lights clearly indicate the active stitch.
The included accessories are standard and, again, sufficient for most beginning and intermediate sewing projects: all-purpose foot, zipper foot, blind hem foot, and buttonhole and satin stitch feet, as well as three bobbins, darning plate, small seam ripper, spool pin felts and caps and needles in three sizes. Power cord, foot pedal, user manual and plastic cover are the other essential items included in the purchase.
The Singer 8763 Curvy is a computerized, free arm sewing machine with a good selection of stitches suitable for most home sewing projects. A moderately experienced sewer should be able to take this machine out of the box and start sewing immediately. Affordably priced and easy to use, this machine is an excellent choice for beginning and intermediate sewers.
The Singer 8763 Curvy sewing machine boasts 30 built-in stitches including 2 fully automatic 1-step buttonholes, automatic stitch length and width and Drop & Sew™ bobbin system. The SwiftSmart threading system with automatic needle threader will make threading your machine easy and frustration free. Drop feed for free motion sewing and an extra-high presser foot lifter allow for expert quilting. Push button stitch selection allows you to change stitches in one easy step.

- 2 Fully Automatic 1-Step Buttonholes
- Buttonhole sewing is a one-step simple process, providing reliable results every time. Each side of the buttonhole is sewn in the same direction, creating beautifully balanced buttonholes.
- Automatic Tension
- This system ensures stable stitch quality, whatever type of fabric is being used.
- Automatic Presser Foot Pressure Control
- The amount of pressure exerted on the fabric by the presser foot against the feed dogs is automatic. Sew from the lightest weight tricots to the heaviest denim, without making presser foot adjustments.
- Extra-High Presser Foot Lifter
- Offers more clearance, which is needed when placing multiple layers of bulky fabric under the presser foot
- Free Arm
- Provides professional results and easy access to cuffs, collars, pant hems and other difficult-to-reach areas
- Automatic Stitch Length & Width
- Automatic optimal settings for length and width can be overridden to personalize length choice.

- 6-Segment Feeding System

- Box Feed
- This is a feed dog motion that moves the feed dogs in a box motion, rather than the historic arc motion. Box motion assures perfect feeding throughout the entire feed process, as the feed dogs are always in perfect and equal contact with the fabric and presser foot.

Angela Strassheim‘s project Evidence hybridises aspects of criminology and photography into an often visually savage body of work.
Nothing is happening in the photos, they are completely deprived of an actual human figure, emotions or any action and still my stomach flipped and still does every time I see these disturbing images.
“Long after the struggles ended in these spaces, despite the cleaning, repainting and subsequent re-habitation of the rooms, the “Blue Star” solution is capable of activating the physical memory of blood through its contact with remaining proteins on the walls. Long exposures- from ten minutes to one hour- with minimal ambient night light pouring in from the crevices of windows and doors, capture the physical presence of blood as a lurid glow: a constellation of stars embedded in the walls.
Through a long and painstaking research process, Angela mapped out the exact locations where violent, often horrific crimes were perpetrated. She convinced new owners and tenants, some unaware of the violent history of their residences, to revisit the unnoticed, unseen past. Angela captures the tracing of a final struggle through the hard evidence of a violent moment, thereby revealing the silent yet omniscient memory of everyday living spaces. The physical result of her work is a series of luscious, large black and white prints, which attract the viewer like stills from a film noir with their eerie seduction and mysterious quality. Ultimately, these images are honest and true to the original space; they make visible, once again, the traces of violence and death that took place in those spaces in a forgotten past.” Press release for Angela Strassheim exhibition at Marvelli Gallery
I’m not insinuating that murder or violent crimes are inspiring in any way, but the fact that places hold memories and stories beyond what we can grasp definitely is.

Member of Knesset Dov Lipman (Yesh Atid) praised the sense of unity he experienced during the visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp last week. Speaking to Arutz Sheva - Israel National Radio, he stated, "one of the things I've learned in my year at the Knesset is that all of us are very quick to put aside political difference when there is something to unite about. It happens regularly in the Knesset about legislation and joint committees. Both on the flight to Poland and during the day, there was no talk of the coalition or the opposition or this party or that party. There was tremendous derech eretz and that was not a surprise to me at all," he stated.
MK Lipman was one of the sixty Members of Knesset with visited the site of the Auschwitz death camp in what was then Nazi occupied Poland. Twenty-four Holocaust survivors attended the trip as well as family members and other Israeli public figures. The trip coincided with the 69th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Symphony No. 5 in B flat major
Conductor Simone Young and the Hamburg Philharmonic’s concluding volume in their grand survey of the complete symphonies of Anton Bruckner in their respective original versions (an all-important point to raise when engaging the works of this master symphonist) presents a live recording of the Symphony No. 5 (1875), a sprawling work that forms something like an axis of his complete oeuvre and also make greater demands on interpreters in its assimilation and realization than is the case in the symphonies immediately preceding and succeeding it. Ms. Young is presently concluding her successful decade-long tenure as Artistic Director of the Hamburg Philharmonic. Among her triumphs one can cite include her own Ring cycle that she conducted with great success at the Hamburg State Opera, in addition to her lauded and now completed Bruckner cycle, a Brahms symphony cycle and other distinguished work available on the Oehms Classics label.

3 Corn Growth Stages & Development Typical corn plants develop 20 to 21 total leavessilk about 65 days after emergencemature around 125 days after emergence
4 VE - EmergenceColeoptile reaches the soil surface and exposure to sunlight causes elongation of the coleoptile and mesocotyl to stop.Embryonic leaves rapidly develop and grow through the coleoptilar tip. Seminal root growth begins to slow and nodal roots are initiated at the crown..
5 V1 - First leaf collarLowermost leaf (short with rounded tip) has a visible leaf collar. Nodal roots begin elongation
6 V3 - Third leaf collarThe growing point remains below the soil surface as little stalk elongation has occurred. Lateral roots begin to grow from the nodal roots and growth of the seminal root system has ceased. All leaves and ear shoots that the plant will produce are initiated at this stage.
7 V5 & V6V5: At this stage the uppermost ear and tassel is initiated followed by kernel row number determination. The growing point nears the soil surface as stalk internode elongation begins.V6: The tassel/growing point is now above the soil surface making plants increasingly vulnerable to above-ground damage. Ear shoot initiation has begun.
8 V7 - Seven leaf collarDuring the V7 and V8 growth stages the rapid growth phase and kernel row determination begins. Senescence of lower leaves may occur if plant is stressed, but must still be counted when staging plants.
9 V10 - Ten leaf collarAt the V9 and V10 growth stages the stalk is in a rapid growth phase accumulating dry matter as well as nutrients. The tassel has begun growing rapidly as the stalk continues to elongate. Many ear shoots are easily visible when the stalk is dissected.
10 VT - TasselingInitiation of the VT stage begins when the last branch of the tassel is visible and silks have not emerged. This stage begins about 2-3 days before silk emergence. The plant is almost at its full height and pollen shed (anthesis) begins. Pollen shed typically occurs in the morning or evening. Plants at the VT/R1 are most vulnerable to moisture stress and leaf loss (hail).
11 R1 - SilkingThis stage begins when any silk is visible outside the husk. Falling pollen grains are captured by the silk and grow down the silk over a 24 hour period ultimately fertilizing the ovule. The ovule becomes a kernel. It takes upwards of three days for all silks on a single ear to be exposed and pollinated. The number of fertilized ovules is determined at this stage. If an ovule is not fertilized, it will not produce a kernel and it eventually degenerates.
12 R6 - Physiological Maturity Occurring approximately days after silking, all kernels on the ear have attained maximum dry weight. A black or brown layer has formed where the kernel attaches to the cob, indicating physiological maturity has been attained. The stalk of the plant may remain green, but leaf and husk tissue has lost its green color at this stage.
14 Silking Stage (R1) Emergence of silk Every ovule (potential kernel) on the ear develops its own silk (the functional stigma of the female flower)Silks remain receptive to pollen grain germination up to 10 days after silk emergence
15 Kernel Blister Stage (R2) About 10 to 14 days after silking, the developing kernels are whitish "blisters" on the cob and contain abundant clear fluid
16 Kernel “Milk Stage” (R3) About 18 to 22 days after silking, the kernels are mostly yellow and contain "milky" white fluid
17 Kernel “Dough Stage” (R4) About 24 to 28 days after silking, the kernel's milky inner fluid is changing to a "doughy" consistency as starch accumulation continues in the endosperm.The shelled cob is now light red or pink
18 Kernel “Dent Stage” (R5) About 35 to 42 days after silking, all or nearly all of the kernels are denting near their crowns.Kernel moisture content at the beginning of the dent stage is approximately 55 percent.A distinct horizontal line appears near the dent end This line is called the "milk line" and marks the boundary between the liquid (milky) and solid (starchy) areas of the maturing kernels.
19 HarvestingAs a guideline Sweet corn; 21 days after silking. Also known as ‘milk stage’ . About 70 days after planting.
20 HarvestingAs a guideline grain corn; days after planting. Stalk and husks on ear are dry and turn brown.

Jon Chu Talks G.I. JOE: RETALIATION 3D and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon Chu recently did an interview with MTV in which he talks about the film's 3D conversion, as well as the other 1980's film project he's working on, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
I really want to push how we use the 3-D. Especially since we pushed the movie date, I want to fulfill the promise to the fans that the 3-D will be great, and enhances the experience of the movie. So every step of the way, I’m in that room, watching… It’s hurting my eyes, but we’re getting it better, and pushing it further.
I'm not the biggest fan of 3D conversion, even with big films like The Avengers, it was actually kind of pointless. It's not like 3D makes the movie better. It just costs us more to go see it. Here he talks about working with 3D on his previous film Step Up 3D and the Justin Bieber 3D doc and how that helped.
So being around that (Shooting 3-D), I know what we are actually capable of doing. If we had shot it in 3-D, there’s a lot of things that we would shot in a 3D way. Fortunately, a lot of our shots, I guess it was in my brain anyway. We had a lot of depth in our shots, or let our shots play longer. For me, if we’re going to do this, we have to make sure it enhances the experience. That’s where we are right now, and it’s a slow painful process, to be honest!
He goes on to admit that there's still a few more things he's changing, in fact he wants to shoot some more stuff in 3D,
I’m trying to convince them to give me a couple days to do a couple of enhancements. But as of right now, we’ll see what they let me do. I really want to shoot some of the sections in 3-D to give it that edge… But we’ll see if time permits, and they’re down to do that.
The film is actually finished, but apparently this will give it a little more pop. I was excited for the new G.I. Joe movie! I was a bit disappointed that it didn't get released this summer -- when it was supposed to. Now I'm all worried the movie is going to suck. I hope it doesn't! I've just been hearing so many negative things. Now on to Masters of the Universe!
I’m really excited about that one! We’re really early in the process… We’re working on the script, to make it better and stronger. We’re designing a bunch of stuff. I learned on Joe that to make it right, you have to do a lot of experimenting first, and you have to trust that during the process you’ll find where the tonal line is… It’s so delicate.
As far as casting goes for the movie, Chu has no idea yet.
A lot of people ask, who are you going to cast? We’re not even there yet, we’re just trying to get the character of the movie down. This is one of the most fun parts, where all the possibilities are open, and we’re just playing in the sandbox.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is scheduled to hit theaters on March 29th, 2013. Are any of you still excited for G.I. Joe, or has that just faded away?

Stranger Things debuted on Netflix back in 2016 and quickly captivated the attention of the TV-watching world, as its narrative blended elements of sci-fi, humor, and horror, made all the more engaging with its 1980s setting. Immediately after fans binge-watched the first season, they began demanding new episodes of the series, in addition to adventures exploring the world of Hawkins, Indiana and the journeys that our characters embarked on. While a second season of the series debuted in October 2017, various other mediums have delivered fans exciting stories inspired by the narrative, the latest being the upcoming comic book series Stranger Things: SIX, written by Jody Houser.
Stranger Things: SIX follows Francine, a teenage girl with precognition. She’s struggled through a lifetime of exploitation: first by her parents, then by Dr. Brenner of Hawkins Laboratory. Dr. Brenner wants to harness her powers as well as those of the other gifted children that they
ComicBook.com scored some preview images of the book, which you can see below the interview. We also chatted with Houser about what's so exciting about the world of Stranger Things, and what fans can expect in the series.
ComicBook.com: What has been your personal connection to Stranger Things, and what excited you about the project?
Jody Houser: I was a fan of the show before I worked on the book. I actually shaved my head to be Eleven for Halloween back in 2016! Being among the first people to tackle the property in another medium was a real honor, and getting to play in the world was a lot of fun.
How much creative liberty were you given within the narrative vs. the canonical elements that you had to adhere to?
In the first series, we obviously kept the narrative closely tied to the events of Season One, although there was a lot of room to play with what Will went through in the Upside Down. Since Stranger Things: SIX is a prequel series, we have a lot more room to play with new characters and storylines.
When trying to capture the magic of what the series offers fans, were you driven by a specific tone of the series or more motivated by the narrative elements?
Definitely both, since the tone is very much influenced by who the characters and how they respond to the world around them. Without the kids and their friendships, this would be a VERY dark story!
What has you excited about the book and what it offers fans? Is it the new directions of the mythology you're exploring or is it spending more time in the established world?
I'm excited to for fans to meet Francine (Six) and the other new characters introduced in the new miniseries.
If you could develop an entire series based on a well-known character from the series, who would it be?
It would be a lot of fun to explore how Dr. Brenner got to where he is.

Malang's Ancient and Colonial History by Foot,
Info : Malang's Ancient and Colonial History by Foot
Sometimes referred to as the ‘Paris of East Java’ and famous for its cool mountain air and the breath-taking surrounding countryside, the ancient city of Malang is an interesting mix of traditional Javanese temples, Dutch Colonial architecture and modern Indonesia society. Experience this at first hand with your expert local guide.
You will start the day by visiting the Singosari Temple, located about 12 kilometres north of Malang and partially restored in the 1930s. It is one of the monuments built in memory of Kertanagara, the last of the Singosari Kings, who died when his palace was seized by a usurper in 1292. In its original state the roof would have mirrored the cosmic Mt Mahameru of Hindu mythology, four lesser pinnacles on each side surrounding a taller, central 'peak'. The most impressive feature of the temple are the highly detailed kala heads that decorate the roof, although oddly they become mere outlines above the lower level entrance and wall niches, showing that the fine carving was executed from the top downwards.
You will also visit Jago (or Jajaghu) Temple, constructed in 1275 - 1300 AD and believed to be the burial place of King Wisnuwardhana’s ashes, the fourth king of the Singosari kingdom. Situated to the east of the city in the village of Jago village in the Tumpang District the journey between the two temples provides you the opportunity to experience the contrasting architecture of the city and the dramatic volcanic peaks and lush countryside that surrounds it.

(FixThisNation.com) – The U.S. Navy has announced that following a Department of Defense call for more troops to be sent to the Middle East, more than 3,000 sailors and Marines are going to be sent to the region. The troops will arrive on Monday and are going to help control the situation with Iran, as the country has recently been targeting commercial ships that are in the CENTCOM area of operations.
On Sunday forces from both the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) reached the area. The U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (CENTCOM) wrote in a statement that the units are going to help increase the naval and aviation assets available in the area while increasing the capabilities and flexibility of the fleet.
According to their report, the Bataan ARG had left Norfolk on July 10. The 26th MEU is also reportedly capable of carrying amphibious missions and can be used for critical response and special operations.
CENTCOM said in a previous statement on July 20 that following Iran’s recent attempts to seize commercial ships in the area the Secretary of Defense had called for an Amphibious Readiness Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit (ARG/MEU) to be placed in the area. They further pointed out that in the last two years, Iran0 has made repeated attempts to take over approximately 20 international merchant vessels.
As a result of these attempts, the U.S. military has placed armed personnel aboard the ships that are crossing the Strait of Hormuz for commercial purposes.

Have you ever heard a singing voice that just doesn’t seem to match the person it’s coming from?
One such performer is the late, great rock singer Janis Joplin. Her smokey, raspy voice rolled out of a petite frame and captivated everyone who had the pleasure of seeing her live. Speaking of Janis Joplin, there’s one shy teenager who’s continuing the legendary singer’s legacy.
Courtney Hadwin is the teen in question. When she took to the “America’s Got Talent” stage, no one could believe what they were hearing.
When Courtney stepped in front of the judges’ table, she was visibly nervous. Singer Mel B was instantly charmed by the sweet girl and she assured Courtney that feeling a bit anxious was totally natural.
But of course, the judges all looked a bit skeptical. Did this adorable ball of anxiety have what it’d take to wow them?
Before launching into her performance, Courtney took a deep breath and looked down at her feet to collect herself. But what came out of her mouth is the absolute last thing anyone expected.
The moment the music to The Black Crowes’ “Hard to Handle” started playing, she transformed. With her long hair flowing, Courtney let the music take her away from all of the stress she was feeling before.
And that’s when they heard it: an incredible rock-and-roll voice reminiscent of Joplin’s coming out of a girl who could barely squeak out two words to the judges just seconds before.
Soon, every single person in the audience was on their feet. The tiny rocker’s truly unique voice and stage presence prove that while some abilities can be taught, there are a blessed few who have totally innate talent. There’s no way to teach someone what she can do.
“You were like this tiny little thing when you came out, but when you sing, you’re like a lion. I mean, genuinely incredible,” Simon Cowell noted when the song was through. Howie Mandel was equally impressed. He told the story of how Janis Joplin first got signed before doing what Courtney never expected. He hit that golden buzzer! The talented young lady totally broke down.
Watch Courtney blow everyone’s minds in the video down below, and if you’re stunned by her incredible performance, be sure to share this with all the music lovers in your life!

Lonesome Dove building's history in Old City is like no other — saloon, brothel, ice cream
The Lonesome Dove Knoxville restaurant building at 100 N. Central St. in the Old City has long been an eye-catcher with its detailed Victorian architecture and vertical roof dome.
Tales about the building’s reported early life as a brothel and its more honorable role as a saloon during less tolerant times have landed on a few ears over the years as well.
As a result, it is one of the more appealing and intriguing smaller landmarks in Knoxville.
“I just think it’s beautiful,” said Jordana O’Malley, who helps line up wedding, rehearsal, and corporate dinners as the restaurant’s private dining coordinator. “It’s just so unique with all the different levels. It’s like a maze.”
Added Alejandra Villanueva, another Lonesome Dove staff member. “It has a lot of character and charisma, although it does get creepy” due to its age.
As the Shopper News continues its summertime look at structures around downtown Knoxville, the University of Tennessee campus and immediate West Knoxville, a scan of this building’s history covers much Knoxville history, too.
According to a plaque outside the brick building, the structure’s history dates to Irish immigrant Patrick Sullivan, who came to Knoxville in the 1850s with his family as a teenager to help build the railroad lines in East Tennessee. His family also helped build the first Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
He ended up serving with the Union during the Civil War, and after the battles returned to Knoxville to open a bar by the former Southern Railway Depot.
The current building was originally his family’s home, according to some information at the Knox Heritage website, but he converted it into a saloon in 1888 after they moved out. Until saloons were banned by the city in 1907, this “Cheers-like” bar of old was the place to go and was said to be the nicest of the numerous bars that lined this “bowery” area. It appealed to travelers and the working class.
Running the saloon was Sullivan’s friend Dan Dewine, who donated some of his earned money to help start St. Mary’s Hospital, the first Catholic hospital in East Tennessee, according to Knox Heritage.
After 1907, the building was the site of such diverse entities as a boarding house and an upholstery business. And then there were the times when it was something shady – a brothel – and, in the 1920s and '30s something sweet: an ice cream shop run by the Armetta family of Italian descent.
The plaque outside the building references the ice cream store and mentions its days as a saloon serving all races and genders. It makes no reference to the brothel, but O’Malley said the legend has been passed down regarding the large and spacious top room in the restaurant, which originally consisted of four rooms with fireplaces. These were likely the original bedrooms when it was a family home.
The fireplace frames still exist, and now the room has become a greatly remodeled space.
“This is probably the most unique room,” said O’Malley. “It has the most character.”
The room also features the former Sullivans’s well-known bar counter with a resin-like base covering countless pennies, four of which are turned opposite of the others.
Just down from it is a large open room, called the Fulmer Room and used for private dining events. Next to it is a unique wine cellar kept at 57 degrees and available for couples wanting a unique romantic dining experience. Ponchos are available to keep them warm!
Other unique features of the building today include the mezzanine level clinging to the outer shell of the interior, with views of the lower level. That level also has a liquor closet.
Some people might consider the places closed off more intriguing than what is easily seen, due to the building’s age. But O’Malley said she does not believe the building is haunted.
“I’ve closed a lot of nights and never seen anything,” she said, jokingly adding that they call the closets under the stairways the Harry Potter closets.
The building, which still has its historic stained-glass windows apparently depicting a sunset, has been the home to Lonesome Dove Knoxville since 2016.
Restaurant owner and chef Tim Love had wanted to open a Western bistro-themed restaurant in Knoxville as a University of Tennessee graduate. The noted chef, who has appeared on several television shows, opened his first Lonesome Dove in Fort Worth in 2000.
The historic Knoxville restaurant building is under the ownership of interim UT president and Knoxville businessman Randy Boyd.
The outdoor burger joint adjacent to the restaurant is now called the Social Dove after formerly being the Love Shack. It features a giant red cloth table umbrella.
Before it was Lonesome Dove, the building was the site of a modern Sullivan’s Saloon for a number of years after it opened on St. Patrick’s Day 1988, 100 years after it first opened as a business. The building was restored at the time by Kristopher Kendrick.
Through the Irish charm when it was a pub, to the sweet dairy products from the Italian family, to the Western cuisine theme found in the current restaurant, this architectural landmark has been a uniquely Knoxville institution.
“I love this building,” said Villaneuva.

It only took four months, but we finally unpacked some art and hung it. Matt wore his work apron and used a carpenters pencil to mark and measure. It was very official. It was very Norm Abrams. The midwife confirmed today that yes the baby dropped, and so it is more like 1-3 weeks for him to show up not five or six. So we nested in a hurry today. Power nesting.
My previous obsession with religious portraiture is over. All of the Marys are going to the garage sale, including Mary, the handless yard statue with wire where her pointing paws used to be. Seems kind of an ill fit for a house with a new kiddo. Jesus' mom with some real blind-you claws is surely perfect for someone else though.

Reports From the Field: Outpatient treatment for PID as effective as inpatient treatment
Women with mild-to-moderate pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) who are treated as outpatients have recovery and reproductive outcomes similar to those for women treated in hospitals, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)1 has concluded.
The PID Evaluation and Clinical Health study was a randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of outpatient and inpatient strategies in preserving fertility and preventing PID recurrence, chronic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. Women treated in a hospital were given multiple intravenous doses of cefoxitin and doxcycline during an inpatient stay of 48 hours or longer. Those who were treated as outpatients received a single injection of cefoxitin, an oral dose of probenecid, and a 14-day supply of oral doxycycline.
The short-term clinical improvements were similar for women in both groups, and after 35 months, the pregnancy rates were nearly equal. There was no statistical significance between the proportion of women with ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, or PID recurrence.
"Treating women with PID in an outpatient setting means receiving care won’t disrupt their daily lives and those of their families. This study provides the first evidence of the comparable effectiveness of outpatient treatment," says Carolyn Clancy, MD, acting director of AHRQ.

Moving beyond imagination
Boeing team tests technologies for air system of the future
BY LEN VRANIAK
If you were a member of the Boeing team working on the Global Communications, Navigation and Surveillance System contract with the Federal Aviation Administration, you wouldn't have to imagine such a world. You would be too busy creating it.
Air Traffic Management leads the GCNSS team, which consists of representatives from across the Boeing enterprise, including Connexion by BoeingSM, Phantom Works, Autometric and Preston Aviation Solutions.
The FAA awarded the contract to ATM in July 2002 to evaluate the feasibility of integrating emerging capacity- and security-enhancing technologies into the National Airspace System. The enhancements are intended to improve the capacity, efficiency, safety and security of the National Airspace System by providing both air- and groundbased personnel with improved real-time situational awareness of the entire flying environment.
"Connectivity of this sort will substantially improve air system efficiency by ensuring that controllers, dispatchers, pilots and airline operation centers have the best information at their disposal, as well as improve the ability of security personnel to detect and respond to unusual situations aboard aircraft," said Mike Lewis, Boeing program manager for the GCNSS project.
In February 2003, the team began to demonstrate the effectiveness of improved connectivity in the air system on a test flight from Seattle onboard Connexion One, a specially equipped 737 aircraft that Connexion by Boeing operates, offering airborne broadband communications capabilities. Customers from the FAA were aboard the flight as well as in ATM's McLean, Va., lab facility to witness these initial tests and to see firsthand the promise that improved connectivity holds.
Capabilities the GCNSS team demonstrated, among others:
The team accomplished all of these transmissions using broadband and narrowband satellite links, demonstrating the feasibility of moving voice, video and other data between systems on the ground and systems aboard aircraft in oceanic airspace and other remote environments.
"These technologies have the potential to enable the creation of a fully linked and integrated network of aircraft, airlines, controllers, security personnel, law enforcement officials and others—regardless of their geographic location," Lewis said.

Ashton Travis of Bennington was named the KDOT SAFE Athlete of the month for February.
Travis, a senior, participates in SAFE, NHS, Mentor Magic, basketball and softball at Bennington.
“I really was not expecting it,” Travis said. “It is pretty exciting. It is a great message for SAFE.”
After graduation, Travis plans on going to the Air Force. She will begin Basic Training in San Antonio this summer. Her family has a friend that is a recruiter, which played a part in her decision.
“My focus will be Security Intelligence or Mental Health Services,” Travis said. “I first wanted to join the military of some kind in the sixth or seventh grade.”
Being involved in so many activities and athletics at Bennington, as well as having a job is a difficult balance for Travis, but SAFE is the one club she is particularly proud to be in.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to be in SAFE,” Travis said. “It is a group that motivates me.”

Arsenal director Edu has identified Genk forward Paul Onuachu as a potential replacement for Alexandre Lacazette ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports. The Gunners are widely expected to lose Lacazette, who is yet to sign a new deal at the Emirates Stadium, on a free transfer at the end of the season.
The Frenchman has played a crucial role for Arsenal since arriving from Lyon back in 2017 but will be out of contract in the summer as things stand.
The likes of Atletico Madrid and Juventus have previously been linked with Lacazette and could be tempted to snap him up if he leaves Arsenal next year.
His expected departure will leave the Gunners in need of a top-class successor in order to stand the best chance of returning to the Premier League’s upper reaches in the near future.
A number of high-profile names have been linked with the north London club in recent months, including the likes of Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri and Real Sociedad marksman Alexander Isak.
However, it seems as though Edu may have found the perfect candidate in the form of Onuachu.
JUST IN: Conte’s most pressing issue at Tottenham is not Kane or climbing table
The Genk forward is attracting plenty of interest from Arsenal, while Aston Villa have also been credited with a desire to bring him to the Premier League, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The report claims that offers have ‘already arrived’ for the 27-year-old, who has racked up a total of ten goals from just 12 league appearances this season.
Onuachu would be able to provide a new dimension to Arsenal’s attacking threat, with his imposing frame and prolific finishing ability set to cause plenty of problems for Premier League defenders.
However, it remains to be seen whether the Gunners can tempt Genk into selling, with the striker tied down until the summer of 2024.
He recently issued a come-and-get-me plea to any interested club, revealing his desire to seek a new challenge and insisting that he will be sold if a suitable offer is made at club level.
“I can do nothing more to decorate a transfer,” Onuachu told Voetbalkrant last month.
“The football world is not always fair. I am still convinced that I could have made a nice transfer. In addition, many clubs are currently not having an easy time financially due to the pandemic.
“Have new agreements been made in the meantime? Genk will cooperate if an offer is made that all parties agree with.”

Meanwhile, Genk manager Dimitri de Conde has urged Liverpool to land Onuachu ahead of Arsenal and Villa in January.
He declared back in September that his player would bring plenty of desirable qualities to Anfield if he is snapped up by the six-time European champions in the near future.
“Did you see Liverpool against Chelsea? Liverpool have the best strikers, but none with the same profile as Onuachu,” said De Conde.
“He would have scored against ten men. I’m not saying that Paul would play 90 minutes every week in Liverpool, but a club like that could really use him.”

Micro to Large Area XPS
ULVAC-PHI has been successful in improving the quality of the patented monochromatic, micro-focused, scanning x-ray source which is the core technology of the PHI Quantera II. Improvements in the quality of the monochromatic crystal enabled the x-ray beam size down to 7.5 μm in diameter. Micro area XPS sensitivity has also improved by 20%.
The PHI Quantera II can also perform high resolution average, area, linear, and multi-point analyses of large areas by using both high-speed XPS and dynamic emittance matching.
Highest Small Area XPS Sensitivity
Fig. 1-a and 1-b shows an optical image (taken using PHI Quantera II’s sample positioning station) and an x-ray beam induced secondary electron image (SXI). We can clearly identify the blue, green, and red pixels in Fig. 3a, tens of microns away from each other, in Fig. 1-b. This shows with the PHI Quantera II, we can confidently locate the analyzing point on the sample, including insulators.
By using the charge neutralizer used in XPS for SXI, we can locate the exact same point on both.
Fig. 1-c shows an example of survey spectra done simultaneously obtained from depth profiling, using a 10 μm diameter x-ray beam, on the blue, green, and red pixels. The PHI Quantera II is the only XPS instrument that can conduct micro area depth profiling on various samples within what we offer on a standard basis.

Turnkey Dual Beam Charge Neutralization
XPS is used in elemental analysis on a wide range of samples ranging from insulators to conductors. However, resetting the charge neutralization, when analyzing insulators, was a heavy task for the user.
The PHI Quantera II uses the PHI’s patented dual beam charge neutralization using low-energy electron beam and ion beam simultaneously allowing automated analysis for insulators. This has also made automated height alignment easier.
The PHI Quantera II is equipped with a high efficient input lens and 32 channel detector used to attain high sensitivity spectra vital for micro area qualitative and quantitative analyses. This enables simultaneous high sensitivity unscanned spectrum acquisition and imaging. The MultiPak, data reduction software offers a variety of tools for data reduction, including linear least squares fitting and curve fitting.
The bottom figure shows a chemical imaging of oxide (CuO) and sulfate (CuSO4) on a copper surface. The red, green, and blue parts show the Cu 2p spectrum of Cu, CuO, and CuSO4 after linear least squares fitting. The bottom figure shows spectra extracted from the image.
Various Sample Navigation Tools
The SXI image is an image of the secondary electrons, excited by the micro-focused x-ray source, taken in by the analyzer. Using the actual x-ray used for analyzing enables accurate and quicker point and click analysis area definition.
High Resolution Intro Camera
We can determine the analyzing point from the high resolution photo take at the introduction chamber. The digital zoom function enables accurate and quick navigation.
Optional Sample Positioning Station
The sample positioning station is a digital XY coordinate device using an optical microscope. This device will help navigate the analyzing point by using the image taken by the optical microscope and the point on the digital XY coordinate.

A development that was reported over the weekend sent the Dogecoin DOGE/USD community into a tizzy.
What Happened: Amazon, Inc. AMZN founder Jeff Bezos has begun to follow Doge co-founder Billy Markus, who goes by the name Shibetoshi Nakamoto on Twitter.
When this was brought to the attention of Markus, he tweeted a GIF with the text ‘Jeff Bezos, You did it.’
— Shibetoshi Nakamoto (@BillyM2k) May 6, 2022
The Doge community was quick to jump into conclusions. One of them welcomed Amazon into the Doge family.
I hope this means we have a new member of the #dogefam
If so warm welcomes from my frens � �

Another said it will have a significant impact on the crypto.
doesn’t matter, it means a lot for Doge
— Elonoshi Muskamoto (@occupymars42069) May 6, 2022
Why It’s Important: Amazon doesn’t accept Doge or, for that matter, any other crypto as a payment option on its ecommerce platform. A job posting by the ecommerce giant last year triggered speculation that it could begin accepting cryptos. The company, however, has not communicated anything in this regard thus far.
Andy Jazzy, who has taken over from Bezos as Amazon’s CEO, reportedly said in an interview to CNBC that he personally does not own any Bitcoin BTC/USD. He, however, suggested that Amazon could consider selling non-fungible tokens in the future. “We’re not probably close to adding crypto as a payment mechanism in our retail business, but I do believe over time that you’ll see crypto become bigger,” the CEO added.
A petition urging Amazon and Bezos to accept Doge as a payment option on Change.com has garnered 240,725 signatures at press time. Doge was seen rising 3.57% to $0.1315 on Saturday, according to Benzinga Pro.

Ancient History & Stunning Coastline
Explore the northern frontier of England on a Northumberland adventure holiday. Northumberland is the most rural and least densely-populated region in the country, and the landscapes are very diverse. It is home to two Areas of Outstanding beauty. The North Pennines in the south of the county is one of them, an area hallmarked by the beautiful heather moors. The second is Northumberland’s coast, which spans over 40 miles (64 km). Here you’ll find long stretches of deserted golden sand beaches known for their biodiversity. In the northwest of the county, it gets a bit more rugged and mountainous. This area is home to Northumberland National Park, Kielder Water & Forest Park and the Cheviot Hills.
As an area that has long been a frontier zone, Northumberland has an incredibly rich and complex history and heritage. History buffs can explore battlegrounds, various prehistoric sites and Roman fortifications, all within a short distance from each other. Northumberland is also peppered with imposing castles, cute market towns and relics from the industrial revolution. Both Bamburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle are real showstoppers in their own right. Bamburgh Castle is incredibly picturesque, an impressive coastal fortress with a fascinating history. If you’re a Downton Abbey and/or Harry Potter fan, you may also recognise Alnwick Castle, with filming taking place within the grounds.
This welcoming region certainly leaves its mark on your memory and will call you back again and again.

Xmas time is coming…. so many people I see seem very unhappy this time of year.
When I was growing up, there was a phrase bouncing around: “The Age of Anxiety.”
As far as a quick glance online, W. H. Auden seems to have popularized (if not originated) the phrase with his book length poem.
Bernstein’s 2nd symphony was based on this poem.
I’m listening to it right now. Very nice.
But I think we have moved way beyond the anxiety of the 20th century.
It seems to me that it is in 21st century America, it is hysteria that dominates public and private discussion, rhetoric and interaction.
So I thought I would share some little anti-hysteria maxims and info today.
First, I want to pass on a definition of maturity:
Maturity: the willingness to take responsibility for one’s own emotional being and destiny.
What I think this means around Xmas time is focusing more on your own head than other people’s heads.
This means examining our own feelings and sorting them out a bit.
At least that’s how I see it.
In order to think more clearly about one’s own stuff here are some good ideas are to emphasize.
First of all we need to identify and support strength in each other and ourselves not our pathologies.
Sounds easy, but right now hysterical pathology sets agendas in families AND in congress.
I think we need to emphasize challenge in our lives, not seeking comfort. If possible it helps to try not to run away from challenge.
Better to commit oneself to a lifetime project of being willing to be continually transformed by our experiences not running from.
This time of year people seem to be seeking weird levels of comfort with impossible expectations of themselves and others. It is the challenges in life that will help us live life more fully.
Finally it might help to emphasize self-definition (differentiation) over herding.
Right now it seems to me that often people are caught up in group think with the people they think they agree with.
It doesn’t occur to them to rely on themselves, at least not at first.
But the more we try to manage ourselves and quit willing others to change, the more we will be able to take responsibility for our own stuff. After all the only one you can really change is yourself, right?
All of this hard to do in a society that is more oriented toward safety (BE CAREFUL) than adventure.
It helps to remember that usually things are going to be okay.
Christmas hysteria seems to focus on children.
So here are three laws about children and parents.
1. Children who work through the natural problems of maturing with the least amount of emotional or physical residue are those whose parents have made them least important to their own salvation.
I take that to mean that if you’re doing ok, you’re parents probably had a healthy attitude about loving you and bringing you up.
And that if you have children, most of parenting is once again focusing on your own stuff not willing your kids to do a certain thing.
Good to remember that nobody really does any of all this good stuff more than half the time.
Secondly, unfortunately it is the rare child that raises itself above the maturity level of its parents.
Scary but this one seems pretty true. It doesn’t mean one can’t rise above the level of maturity in one’s parents. Just that it’s very hard. And rare.
Lastly, parents cannot produce change in a troubling child, no matter how caring, savvy, or intelligent they may be, until they become completely and totally fed-up with their child’s behavior.
If you’re still reading this and you know me, you have guessed by now that I am basically passing on Ed Friedman quotation and insights.
I usually find myself for one reason or another re-reading this man’s work this time of year.
Heh. Go figure.

The Great Valley of California has a Mediterranean climate, one of only five such areas on earth. It is characterized by hot dry summers and wet, cool winters. There is six to eight inches of rain in the southern valley and 20 inches in the north. Vernal pool plants and creatures have established strategies to grow in these conditions. They must grow fast in the spring, reproduce, and leave their seeds in the ground. They have survival strategies as well: migrate, aestivate (summer dormancy) and have an over summering propagule. This is a method to come to life when the conditions are right by having seeds, spores or cysts. This applies to non-plant creatures also which leave eggs or pupae in the soil.
Vernal (spring) pools are a Mediterranean climate intermittent pool which are dry for nine months of the year. They are mostly in California, but occur also in Baja and South Africa. They are a tiny little ecosystem with no transition in or out. It is a discrete aquatic ephemeral ecosystem, containing food and what eats the food. Occasionally birds bring things into the pool. These pools form because something below the pool keeps the water in them, e.g., clay pan, bedrock or a volcanic layer. This solid keeps water from percolating through the ground and only evaporation gets rid of the water.
There are three types of pools: 1) valley pools, both fresh and alkali, 2) Sierran terrace, and 3) volcanic table land. What changes in a pool over the year is the volume of water, the temperature of the water, the turbidity of the water, the oxygen concentration, the food availability, crowding and the periods of inundation. Vernal pools are hotbeds of evolution. They are filled with endemic (narrowly restricted) species. There are lots of things that can't live here. Different species can tolerate different periods of inundation. Plants and algae have to get to the pool first. Then seed shrimp eat the algae. The hatching time of the seed and clam shrimp is important so that they have food to eat when they hatch. The vernal pool biota also includes cyanobacteria, protozoa, planaria, crustaceans, spiders, insects and amphibians.
The table around campus is a volcanic lahar and can contain lava cap type vernal pools. This lahar formed as warm muds from volcanic activity in the Miocene flowed down the winding river beds here at that time. This same scenario stretches form Oroville to Fresno. The flanks of the lahar has trees because water can run through the fractured soil found there. We see Johnny Tucks, Orthocarpus erianthus, in bloom.
We drive up Highway 65 and have an area where there are Sierran terrace pools. The pools are here because of the clays washed down from higher up. Lincoln has very fine Eocene clays. We see several non-native plants such as palm trees and wild radish. A yellow billed magpie is seen, a member of the crow family. (There are crows in the valley, but few ravens.) Eucalyptus, imported from Australia, is along the road.
Near Oroville and the Feather River we see bush lupines. At a stop off Table Mountain Blvd., we walk to identify the plants. There are blue oaks with their ashy gray bark; interim live oaks; Brodiaea; buttercups; foothill pines; virgin's bower, Clematis ligustifoia (pale yellow flowers); poison oak; Pholistoma (white flowers; and miner's lettuce, Claytonia (montia) perfoliata. We also see a pipe vine swallow tail butterfly and a rufus-sided tohee. Lupines have a small purple flower and are a member of the pea family. There are over 100 species in California.
Live oaks, Quercus wislizenii, holds old leaves year round and now has new leaves also. Blue oaks, Q. douglasii, has glossy green leaves with deep lobes. It is dimorphic (2 or more shapes to leaves). The male flowers are dangling catkins and the female flowers are tiny.
Up on Table Mountain we see lots of yellow goldfield, Lasthenia californica. This is the Mehrton Formation with very shallow soils. There are trees of the flanks where water comes out. We see turkey vultures and a horned lark. (The flowers seen are noted on the Table Mountain Flora list.)
We leave and drive to Chico and Bidwell Park. There is an old oak with acorns embedded in holes made by acorn woodpeckers. We see Dutchman's Pipe, Aristolocica californica, its fruit is the only place pine vine swallowtail butterfly lays its eggs on. Down by Big Chico Creek there are native sycamores and foothill pines. Farther down are valley oaks. Also a redbud, Cercius oxydenalis, and a white ash, Almus rhombofolia, live here, as well as Ponderosa pine, incense cedar and manzanita. Mugwort, Artemesia douglasiana, a fibrous sagebrush with fragrant leaves grows here. A wild cucumber vine, manroot, Marah sp., creates giant tubers.
We move on and see meadow foam, Limnanthacae, in the distance. We stop a Nature Conservancy location where there are vernal pools. One pool is large with cemented ash bottom. We find tadpole shrimp with eggs, copepods (red crustaceans), fairy shrimp, clam shrimp, backswimmers, boatmen, water fleas, nostoc blue-green algae, red worms, and seed shrimp. The fairy shrimp species here is the only place they exist. This pool was completely dry a few months ago and now is teeming with life. There are northern harrier hawks and killdeer flying nearby. As a vernal pool dries up, the creatures activate their dormant strategies. If there is lots of water and it warms up there are numerous generations. If there is less water and cooler, only one generation hatches. If environmental conditions are poor the eggs may go into a cyst; if good the eggs hatch. Alpha diversity means the diversity within one pool. Beta diversity relates to two pools relative to each other.
Plants around the pools include Brodea hyacyathia, Triteleia hyacinthina, delphiniums, and Medusahead grass.
The last pool really brought home the diversity of life that springs up out of a seemingly dry spot in the ground. Before this trip I had no idea of this unique California asset.

Effect of different potting media on growth of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri L.) rootstock was studied. Freshly harvested seeds of rough lemon were germinated in flat trays of sterilized sand under greenhouse conditions. Six week old seedlings, uniform in size were transplanted from trays to pots (15x15 cm). Leaf manure, peat, spent compost of oyster and button mushroom were added in different compositions with soil, sand, leaf manure and farmyard manure (FYM). Physical and chemical characteristics of different media combination were studied. Data was collected on monthly basis for plant growth parameters. Sand +peat (1:1) proved to be a superior potting medium followed by sand + peat + spent compost of Button mushroom (1:1:1) for growth of rough lemon (C. jambhiri) nursery stock.

Updated with penalty: 1:26 PM: Ex 19 children and counting Star Josh Dugar, 34, was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison today, according to the Associated Press. The father of seven faced a maximum of 20 years when prosecutors argued he had a “deep-seated, widespread and violent sexual interest in children.”
Duggar was convicted last December of two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography, after which lawyers for the former reality TV star, who maintained his innocence, sought a five-year sentence.
For the public, a judge dropped a charge before sentencing today. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 20 years.
His father Jim Bob and Josh’s wife, Anna, his sister Joy-Anna (Dugar) Forsyth and brother Jason Dugar were in court today.
After his release, Dugar will be under compulsory supervision for the next 20 years. She will not be allowed to communicate with any child, including her own, without supervision.
In addition, he must take part in the treatment of sex offenders, cannot view pornography, or possess any electronic devices with photo storage capabilities. He will also be the subject of random searches and polygraph examinations.
Previously on December 9, 2021: Ex 19 children and counting Star Josh Dugar, 33, was convicted today of two counts of taking and possessing child pornography. The jury in Fayetteville, Arkansas took a day to rule.
According to the AP, the father of seven faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $ 250,000 for each charge, when he is finally convicted. His legal team told NBC News they were planning to appeal.
Dugar was among the family members who attended the TLC 19 children and counting He had sexually assaulted his four sisters and another daughter until the network released the show in 2015.
A spin-off focuses only on the so-called kids To count TLC was canceled after Duggar’s arrest earlier this year.
In a statement following the accusation of Dugar descent, parents Jim Bob and Michelle issued the following statement: “The charges against Joshua today are extremely serious. It is our prayer that the truth, whatever it may be, will be revealed and all this will be resolved in time. We love Josh [his wife] Keep praying for Anna and her family. “
Jim Bob Dugar is currently vying for a vacant state Senate seat in Arkansas.

Is there a better record label out there today than Second Language? The care and attention that goes into their releases is simply astounding, they have released a slew of superior goods over the past year or two but the packaging on this Pete Astor CD really takes the biscuit. It comes in a brown cardboard box, containing two CDs - one the original album and one bonus CD of covers (more on that later) and that's not all - it comes with lyric sheets but, no, not your usual lyric sheet, these are a set of 12 colour postcards one of which shows Mr Astor patting a dog. Second Language know fine well that the only way you lot are going to part with your hard earned brass is to provide boutique releases of high quality and they have these in spades, it almost gets forgotten whether or not the music contained within can live up to the aesthetically pleasing discs. There are no such worries here. Pete Astor, as you may remember, goes way back to amazing mid '80s janglers The Loft then onto the much loved Weather Prophets, most recently reappearing with Ellis Island Sound and with his lovely album of solo folk songs 'Hal's Eggs'. Here we get 12 original tunes, tapping into the heartwarming melancholic acoustic pop peddled by the likes of The Go-Betweens and The Triffids. It takes a couple of listens for the melodies to come through but once they do the likes of 'Tiny Town are minor key delights. Throughout he is backed by a stellar cast of talented players such as David Sheppard and Kieron Phelan (Phelan/Sheppard) and Piano Magic/Klima's Angele David-Guillou hitting drums, strumming guitars, tinkling glockenspiels and parping on flutes and melodicas giving the album a mysterious slightly Gallic flavour which sits perfectly with Astor's simple, well crafted tunes. Like 'Hal's Eggs' this is a slow burning record that slowly reveals itself to be a thing of captivating beauty. The first 300 come with a full album of covers from the likes of (deep breath) Dollboy, Lets Wrestle, Darren Hayman, Comet Gain, The Raincoats, Piano Magic and many, many more. How they've got this together with so many decent names is anyone's guess but nothing really beats the album versions, Pete Greenwood reinvents 'Slip Away' in a lovely gentle folk style and its fascinating to hear The Raincoats doing something truly bizarre with 'This Perfect Crime'. Overall a wonderful package.
