"Someone is writing a poem," wrote Adrienne Rich in her 1993 essay by that same title. "Words are being set down in a force field. It’s as if the words themselves have magnetic charges; they veer together or in polarity, they swerve against each other. Part of the force field, the charge, is the working history of the words themselves, how someone has known them, used them, doubted and relied on them in a life."
"Part of the movement among the words belongs to sound—the guttural, the liquid, the choppy, the drawn-out, the breathy, the visceral, the downlight. The theater of any poem is a collection of decisions about space and time—how are these words to lie on the page, with what pauses, what headlong motion, what phrasing, how can they meet the breath of the someone who comes along to read them? And in part the field is charged by the way images swim into the brain through written language: swan, kettle, icicle, ashes, scab, tamarack, tractor, veil, slime, teeth, freckle..."
Tonight Just Buffalo Literary Center's BIG NIGHT Series presents a tribute to Adrienne Rich (1929-2012), the award-winning poet and major transformative figure in 20th century American Letters, literary activism, and contemporary feminist and lesbian writing, who died on March 27. Among the featured celebrants of Rich's life and work are two of Just Buffalo's own Literary Legacy Award winners, Alexis DeVeaux and Jimmie Gilliam. The event begins at 8 p.m. at the Western New York Book Arts Center, 468 Washington St. (at Mohawk St.). Admission is $5, $4 for students, Just Buffalo members, and members of its affiliate organizations.
"In a political culture of managed spectacles and passive spectators, poetry appears as a rift, a peculiar lapse, in the prevailing mode," writes Rich in "Someone is Writing a Poem." Indeed everything about the trajectory of her six decade long career, from the high modernist imitations of Yeats and Auden in her 1951 Yale Younger Poets Award winning debut collection "A Change of World" through the personally and politically charged dynamics of her National Book Award-winning "Diving into the Wreck" (W.W. Norton, 1973) and "The Dream of a Common Language" (Norton, 1978), to the valedictory tone of her recent collections "Telephone Ringing in the Labyrinth: Poems 2004–2006" and "Tonight No Poetry Will Serve: Poems 2007-2010," suggests a movement away from the formalisms of literary patriarchy towards an engagement with the particulars of language and experience that is specifically feminist in its poetics.
Precisely because of this sense of personal transformation and political engagement in Rich's work, there are no two better representatives of this sense of writing as a form of social activism in our own community than Alexis Deveaux and Jimmie Gilliam.
DeVeaux is a University at Buffalo-based poet, playwright, novelist, short fiction writer, editor, lecturer, performer, educator, activist, prize-winning essayist and author of children's stories whose best known scholarly work "Warrior Poet"--her 2004 W.W. Norton biography of Rich's friend and colleague Audre Lorde--was the recipient of several awards, including the Gustavus Meyers Outstanding Book Award (2004), the Lambda Literary Award for Biography (2004), the Hurston/Wright Foundation Legacy Award for Non-Fiction in 2005.
Gilliam, a former co-editor of Earth's Daughters magazine and Professor Emerita at Erie Community College, where she taught English Literature on the College's City Campus from 1971 to 1995, is co-author of the poetry volume "The Rime & Roar of Revolution" (as Jimmie Canfield, with Bob Dickens, 1975) and author of the prose poem/novel "Ain't No Bears Out Tonight (as Jimmie Gilliam Canfield, 1984) and Pieces of Bread (as Jimmie Canfield Gilliam, 1987). She is the founder and mentor of the “Women of the Crooked Circle,” one of the Buffalo area's most successful writers groups, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in January.
Joining Deveaux and Gilliam on tonight's BIG NIGHT program is poet, musician and songwriter Damian Weber, whose most recent album is his self-released "Soul Night". As has become the custom at all BIG NIGHT events, gourmet chef and BlazeVOX Books publisher Geoffrey Gatza will supply his always popular spread of event-themed food creations to the celebration.


The Shield will live on, but in a dramatically different form.
To little fanfare, and many sponsored blogposts, Nvidia launched the Shield hand-held game console. Powered by its Tegra SoC and Android, the Shield attempted to provide a gaming experience in the style of a Nintendo DS or PSP in an era when mobile gamers seem to be wholly satisfied with gaming on their phones or tablets.
Despite features added later that allowed gamers to stream games from their PC to Shield, the device was a failure. Nvidia now is looking to “reboot” the Shield as a tablet, according to a certification filing spotted by The Verge.
— GCF (@GCF_Certified) June 30, 2014
According to a document on certification and testing body Global Certification Forum’s website, the next-generation Shield will be called the “Shield Tablet” (as confirmed earlier through an inadvertent leak from Nvidia). It will also have 4G/LTE capability. Earlier leaks have pointed to the Shield tablet having a 2048 x 1536 7.9-inch screen, Android 4.4, and a Tegra K1 SoC.
On paper this looks like a solid tablet. If Nvidia can price it at, or below, the high-end low-cost Xiaomi Mi Pad it could have a winner on its hands.

D Is for Down Under
An Australia AlphabeteBook - 2011
What country holds the title as the world's smallest continent and yet the world's largest island? I stands for island, but one that's not too small. Our island is enormous. Just try to see it all! There's no place else quite like it; that is clearly true. Australia is a continent, but it's an island, too. Originally founded as a penal colony, Australia has long been known for its contrasts (think: wild outback and sophisticated Sydney Opera House). Accompanied by vibrant colorful artwork, D is for Down Under: An Australia Alphabet captures the spirit of this proud country and its many treasures, natural and man-made. Visit spectacular Sydney Harbor, try your hand as a jackaroo working a sheep station, or just sit back and enjoy a Vegemite sandwich. Below the starry night glitter of the Southern Cross constellation, Australia's "down under" wonders shine brightly

The following is a sponsored post on behalf of Kohl’s Cares. Opinions expressed are that of my own.
Now through the end of September, Kohl’s is offering exclusive hardcover editions of Curious George books for only $5 each through their Kohl’s Cares Program!
Kohl’s Cares Curious George Collection books include Curious George’s First Day of School, Curious George’s Dinosaur Discovery, Curious George and the Puppies, Curious George Visits the Zoo, and Curious George Goes Camping. In addition, each book has a coordinating plush doll, and a backpack and note cards are available for purchase as well.
It just so happens, that I received my package of Kohl’s Cares items the day before my youngest’s first birthday. I decided to wait on opening it up until the next day. As I revealed each item to him, he immediately took to the Curious George plush doll and started giving him hugs and kisses. He briefly looked at the books, and his older brother and sister picked them up and started checking them out. My older son had both of these read within the day, and my daughter sat right next to him and listened.
Even though my little guy isn’t quite old enough to read, in my opinion there is nothing better than giving a child access to literacy. My 2 older children have been exposed to books from an early age and have a great love of reading. I think it is wonderful that Kohl’s is offering this collection at such an inexpensive price of $5. Not only are children benefiting from the gift of reading, but they are benefiting from the net profits through health and education programs.
Does your child love the Curious George Series? If so, which is their favorite story?
Kohl’s has raised more than $231 million for children’s initiatives nationwide through its Kohl’s Cares cause merchandise program. For more information, visit kohlscares.com.

This beat samples drums from Herbie and strings from Un Chien Andalou. I added some other noises and sounds. Hope you enjoy this beat!
another excellent track. I liked the retro sound of the string samples, a way to get an old sound without always resorting to mellotron plugins.
I like the record pops.
this is very smooth and clean, I like it, good choice in samples, it feels very DJ shadowis, only better :)

WINTELER PRODUCTION was asked to produce a still life editorial for VOGUE Portugal on the subject of culture and handicraft. The photographer was Andreas Achmann, and the stylist was Alexander Wuchterl who is represented by Les Artists.
Vogue is the world’s number one fashion magazine and a flagship product of the Condé Nast empire. Its first issue came out over 120 years ago. Vogue is often called ‘the fashion Bible’.

To appear in Vogue is the top quality label in the fashion industry for designers, models, actors, photographers, and authors.
Vogue Portugal is not just a women’s magazine or a fashion magazine or a lifestyle magazine. It’s all of those combined and more, with a special touch and, above all, it’s a publication that speaks to the heart. GoSee: winteler-production.com//de/vogue-portugal-de & vogue.pt

Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi has shrugged off the US-engineered European Union embargoes on the Iranian oil sector, saying that the Islamic Republic is completely prepared to counter the sanctions.
Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi
"Iran's oil has its own markets, and, to counter the sanctions, all potential options have been worked out by the government," Qasemi said Saturday night.
He added that the sanctions against Iran's oil have existed for many years, stressing that it would be wrong to consider that the sanctions started as of Sunday.
He emphasized that Iran is still selling its oil in the international markets and "a part of the oil sales to Europe had been cut by Iran ahead of the sanctions taking effect."
Qasemi also stated that sanctions have no effect on the development of Iran's oil industry, adding, "Today, we are selling oil to those European customers with whom we had interactions since a long time ago, some of whom had participated in the development of oil projects, [as well as] many countries with a high economic growth and developing countries."
The minister noted that Iran's oil sales to Europe constituted only 18 percent of the total sales before the sanctions and said, "It does not seem difficult to substitute customers for this much of sales because there are currently countries that have applied for buying Iran's oil."
He warned those who have imposed the oil sanctions on Iran and stated, "We have repeatedly said you shouldn't politicize the oil market because the citizens of those countries that impose the embargoes will be hit the hardest."
Qasemi described as "irrational and illegal" the bid to impose sanctions on Iran and said that the oil sanctions on Iran were not imposed by the United Nations and that only a handful of countries moved to impose the sanctions due to their irrational demands.
He emphasized, though, that the Islamic Republic would pursue the issue through international bodies.
On January 23, the European Union (EU) foreign ministers approved new sanctions against Tehran to prevent EU member states from buying Iranian crude or doing business with the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) and to freeze the Iranian assets across the union. The sanctions went into effect as of Sunday, July 1.
New Iran sanctions aim to create psychological atmosphere: Economy Minister
Source: Tehran Times
Iran's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Shamseddin Hosseini says the announcement of a date for imposing a new round of sanctions on Tehran is aimed at creating a psychological atmosphere.
Iran's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Shamseddin Hosseini
Hosseini said on Saturday that sanctions against Iran have actually started a long time ago and the West is conducting a psychological operation by setting new deadlines.
"Westerners set unreal deadlines as the time to toughen sanctions in order to create a psychological atmosphere in the country," Hosseini said.
Hosseini stated that specific dates have been determined to impose new sanctions with the purpose of exerting more pressure on Iran.
On January 23, the European Union (EU) foreign ministers approved new sanctions against Tehran and set July 1 as the time when the embargoes take effect.
The sanctions prevent all the EU member states from purchasing Iran's oil or extending insurance coverage for tankers carrying Iranian crude.
The U.S. administration in late March approved sanctions on Iranian crude oil sector, which penalize other countries for buying or selling Iranian crude oil. The sanctions were scheduled to come into effect on June 28.
The sanctions have been slapped based on the allegation that Iran is seeking to acquire military nuclear capability.
Tehran refutes such allegations, noting that frequent inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency have never found any diversion in Iran's nuclear energy program toward military purposes.

Information about photo voice
By Julian Gonzales
Students in SOCI 1306, Social Problems, are using photos to research suicide for a photo voice project.
Photo voice is “a research methodology that uses photos to bring awareness to social issues,” Coordinator Beatrix Perez said Sept. 24 in an interview.
Students work in small groups. Each student in the group must have two photos, one being the perception of the social issue and the other a solution.
The students go out and take the photos, and the group chooses what they think is the best.
The photos will not show faces or recognizable features, such as rings or tattoos.
The photo voice will be on display in the spring on the fourth floor of Moody Learning Center.
Photos will have captions and space for viewers to write to “paint a moving picture,” she said.
It is moving because it will make people create heavy dialogue on what they think could be real-world solutions to the problems.
“The exhibit will include college resources to give more details leave an impactful mark on society,” she said.
The solutions would be hotlines, support systems, and programs to help with anyone battling issues such as depression.
The age group focused is 18-25, but it could still affect others, she said.
It will also help the students focus on what they learned from their perceptions of the problem.
“The idea is to have the display create dialogue,” Perez said.
For questions, call the sociology program at 210-486-1319.

Due to the community outbreak of COVID-19 in Victoria, anyone who has travelled to and spent time in the Greater Melbourne area between May 20-25 must get a COVID-19 test and self-isolate at home or in the accommodation they are staying in until they return a negative result.
Current locations of interests are available on Victoria Health’s website and there is also a direct link to this website from both the Ministry of Health homepage and the Unite Against COVID-19 homepage.
Canterbury Medical Officer of Health, Dr Cheryl Brunton says testing is free and is available with no referral required at the following locations in Canterbury:
“If you have recently arrived back to or are visiting Canterbury from Melbourne and you’re not sure what you should do, please call Healthline on 0800 358 5453 for advice.
“In addition, if you develop any COVID-19 symptoms, please arrange to get tested immediately and remain isolated at home or in the accommodation you are staying in. This advice extends to everyone even if they haven’t visited any of the locations of interest,” says Dr Brunton.
This is a good reminder that everyone still needs to play their part in keeping up all of the good habits which have helped keep the Canterbury community free of COVID-19 for months now. These include:
Remember to scan, scan, scan using the QR code outside many businesses, including DHB facilities, or keep a diary of where you go and when. This information is useful if we were to have a case and needed to advise the public.

This may have already been answered, but why are so many modern assault rifles gas-operated, when blowback-operated designs are (generally speaking) simpler/cheaper to manufacture and require less maintenance? I've been doing some research and can't seem to figure out why for the life of me. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
I woke up one day and decided "why not design an entirely new rifle from scratch, and live blog it?" So here we are.
About ten minutes in and we've got the beginnings of a receiver extrusion made from 7075 T6 aluminum:
Currently I think the rifle will be in 5.56mm. It will not use STANAG magazines. @Ulric plz halp design new mag?
The year is [year]. You are a [thing] designer working in/for [country/nation state/corporation]. The [things] of the rival [country/nation state/corporation] have recently *gotten meaningfully better in some specific way* and/or *the geopolitical and/or industry circumstances have significantly changed*. You have been tasked with designing a [thing] to meet the needs of this new and changing world!
If that made you laugh, maybe you've participated in a design competition before, here or on another forum. I've been a contestant or judge five or six design competitions by this point, and I'd like to highlight a mistake I've seen people make often that I think could hurt your chances. And that is, designing something for the wrong time period, specifically designing something that is too early for the period in which the competition takes place.
Quick: When you think about US rifles in World War II, what comes to mind? A lot if you would answer with the M1 Garand, I'd bet. If I went on another forum and started a "Design a Rifle: USA 1944" thread, I bet I'd get a lot of entries that took their cues from the M1 Garand - but the M1 wasn't designed in 1944, it was designed in the late 1920s. In attempting to "fit in" to the time period of the competition, they would have in fact submitted a design that is 15 years too late! The an appropriately dated entry would be something like a T25 Lightweight Rifle, which is associated mostly with the late Forties and early Fifties, but whose design began in the mid 1940s. Using the M1 Garand as a model for your 1944 design would result in something like a slightly refined Garand with a box magazine slapped on, putting you well behind the curve!
The T25 was what 1940s designers thought the rifle of the future would look like. Keen SHitters will notice the joke about the M14 in the above paragraph.
Tanks and other vehicles are the same way. The M48 is associated with the Vietnam era, but its development began in 1953. The Space Shuttle is associated closely with the 1980s, but design work on it began in the late 1960s, before the first man ever set foot on the Moon. The MiG-15 is associated with the Korean War, but Soviet jet fighter designers at that time were already putting pencils to paper on what would become the MiG-21.
It's tempting to create a design that looks like it would fit right in to the battles we know and associate with whatever time period a competition covers. Yet, the real-world designers fighting those battles from their drafting tables were already imagining the next thing, and even what would come after that, in turn. Design competitions are just for fun, but in some ways they are also practice for the real thing, so don't get stuck in the past!

As the state prepares to award marijuana business licenses in the coming months, some applicants are worried barriers remain that could limit who, ultimately, can open a successful business.
They cited the length and complexity of a recent round of dispensary applications and perceived influence by large, out-of-state players. Caps on the number of shops in some suburban towns and others that have opted out of marijuana sales entirely, along with the prospect of product shortages, could mean further challenges for those who do receive licenses, they said.
It’s a concern for some of those promoting social equity applicants, who worry that though the law contains highly-touted equity measures, the process could squeeze out of the industry people of color and those who historically have been affected by marijuana’s criminalization.
“(The) state will have a choice to diversify this industry," said Ron Holmes, co-founder of the Majority-Minority Group, which is helping minority owners submit marijuana business applications. “And hopefully they make the right decisions."
The latest round of dispensary applications recently closed, marking the first time new businesses not already selling medical cannabis could apply to open. Seventy-five licenses are expected to be awarded by May. Those seeking to open other marijuana businesses, including infuser, transporter or craft grower licenses, can begin submitting their applications in mid-February.
The applications include provisions for social equity applicants, who can be awarded extra points on their application if they or a relative have been convicted of a marijuana-related crime that is eligible for expungement now that weed is legal, or if they live in one of the state’s designated “disproportionately impacted areas," which were deemed to have an unusually high marijuana arrest or incarceration rate.
Applicants can also qualify for social equity status if the owners don’t meet this criteria, but more than half of their employees do.
The measures are intended to ensure that “communities historically impacted by the criminalization of cannabis have an opportunity to participate in the legal cannabis industry,” according to the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
But some worry there are pitfalls in the social equity provisions.
Alex Perez, an Aurora man who is part of a company that submitted a social equity dispensary application, said the accountants, attorneys, application fees and other resources he needed to craft his application could be cost prohibitive.
“I don’t see how these poor black and brown folks that are really, truly, social equity … are supposed to do this,” he said. “The resources are staggering that you have to have access to.”
He also worries that down the line some lenders now seeking to back social equity applicants could buy them out entirely, eliminating social equity owners from the business.
The role of large companies in social equity applications is a concern for many. Kenny Myles, a social equity applicant looking to open a dispensary and small, craft growing facility in Aurora, said some investors who wouldn’t otherwise be eligible for social equity status are trying to recruit applicants who are eligible.
Some from out of state tried to recruit him, he said, though he is hopeful he and his business partners can make it through at least the application process on their own.
“If it’s for Illinois, you would hope that if they’re approving applications, they would look for true Illinois representatives to run the business first and foremost, without a machine backing them,” he said.
Social equity applicants will get the same weight whether they have an arrest record, live in a disproportionately impacted area, or if they don’t meet the criteria but qualify because most of their employees do. That, combined with the length and complexity of the application, has caused concern for some people, Holmes said.
“It is a very hard application,” he said. “But also it’s a multi-million dollar application. So balancing that out is really tough.”
Holmes said he has seen improvements already, citing the process to submit questions online during the upcoming round of applications.
Still, he’d like to see more outreach, particularly to disproportionately impacted communities, from the agencies involved in the application and licensing process. Applicants who have business and law degrees as well as those working in the black market face barriers to information, he said.
“The average person that’s on the street corner in the illicit market today doesn’t have access to those same tools,” Holmes said. “And more importantly, some of them might not have access to the same information the government puts out.”
Groups involved with drafting the law said the social equity provisions are not perfect, but they were the best option available and there is room to improve as the process moves forward.
Chris Lindsey, director of government relations for the Marijuana Policy Project, which helped draft Illinois’ law, said it’s hard to enforce strict rules to promote local or minority ownership. Stringent provisions in other states, such as racial ownership quotas, have been struck down by courts, he said.
Instead, among the equity provisions in the Illinois law were guidelines for social equity applicants. Later, the state will study the roll out and examine any disparities, which will help agencies determine whether they need to recalibrate before the next round of applications, he said.
As far as the complexity of the application goes, he said the reality is applicants are seeking to open a business so they need to have the appropriate skills.
“This was designed to make sure minorities have access to that industry,” he said. “It’s not designed to offset the skills needed to succeed in running a business.”
State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, one of the legalization bill’s chief sponsors, said lawmakers anticipated some equity issues, which is one reason they built the diversity study into the law.
“I’m not going to say to you today or any day that we thought of every dirty trick and (closed) that option," she said, “but we did more than any state has ever done to level this playing field.”
Preliminary numbers made public by the state showed more than 700 applicants sought dispensary licenses in the most recent round, and more than 600 of them identified themselves as qualifying for social equity status.
While Cassidy cited those figures as evidence of the strength of the social equity provisions in the law, Holmes said many of those social equity applicants could have qualified based on their employees.
“My guess is that a lot of those folks are not going to be black or brown, that check those boxes,” he said.
Many of the existing growing centers that supply the product are expanding, but even so, would-be recreational dispensary owners must contend with demand for medical marijuana. Dispensaries are required by law to make sure they have enough product for medical patients.
Myles, who also plans to seek a craft growing license, said competition with larger companies might exacerbate the problem. He expected growers with limited recreational supply would be more likely to fill a larger, more profitable order than an order from a small company such as the one he’s seeking to open.
They must also contend with limits on where they can open. Many towns have opted out of marijuana sales, and many of those allowing them have put other limits in place.
That makes competition for the available spots even more fierce, Perez said. His company is eyeing locations in Aurora, but might end up elsewhere in the suburbs if they can’t get to Aurora before the available licenses are gone, he said.
Still, applicants say it’s worth it. Myles said he is excited, and counting the days until he hears back from the state about his application.
Perez said the business, for him, is about representation.
“I’m doing this because we’ve had this image thrust upon us in our communities for decades," he said. "We built this industry decades ago, and now all of a sudden because of legalization people in suits and ties are kicking us to the curb.”

The cyber party is apparently over for Montgomery County employees.
On Thursday, the county commissioners officially banned game playing and browsing the Internet on county computers.
The new policy will be included in an updated version of the county employees handbook that's being published.
County Administrator Nicholas Melair said the move hopefully will make employees more efficient and safeguard against the possibility of a virus entering the computer network.
He said there was no reason to believe there has been widespread abuse of the computers but several employees have been caught playing games when they should have been working.
"They're introducing foreign software into our networks," Melair said. And surfing the net when it has nothing to do with county business not only costs money for the Internet connection, it also costs in lost work time.
Even a personalized screen saver is a no-no, Melair said, adding that he had one until he was told it could spread a virus.
Melair said the severity of sanctions taken against employees caught violating the policy will depend on the severity of the situation.
"The policy puts the (enforcement) responsibility on the supervisors," he said. "It's their job to know what their people are doing on our computers. You can't go by a workstation without knowing what's on the screen."

“All Michelle wanted was to hear that she had been accepted in one of the schools [in California] so that she could bundle up her belongings and turn her back on a country where people were governed – or herded – like animals, as she said to herself over and over.

Vasudha Swaraj engages 1000 tribal farmers into ROC
Vasudha Swaraj, an agriculture arm of Pratibha Syntex, engages 1000 tribal farmers in cultivation of regenerative organic cotton. The intent is to restore and build soil, ensure animal welfare, and render fair conditions for farmers and farmworkers.
Swaraj, an agriculture arm of Pratibha Syntex, engages 1000 tribal farmers in
cultivation of regenerative organic cotton (ROC). The intent behind ROC
cultivation is to emphasize farming practices that restore and build soil,
ensure animal welfare, and render fair conditions for farmers and farmworkers.
a bid to increase farmer income and improvise soil health, Vasudha Swaraj
promoted multi-cropping techniques. With multi-cropping and inter-cropping,
while farmers received additional crop and additional income from the same
farmland, the carbon nutrient in the soil is also increased resulting into
increasing arability of the farms lands. Farmers were also imparted training on
effective practices of animal husbandry.
imparting trainings, Vasudha Swaraj provides seeds and organic inputs without
upfront payment and gives buyback guarantee of cotton and all the other crops.
These efforts have significantly improved farmersâ€™ income. Mangal Singh Devaji
Singhad, a Satrundi farmer, says that by engaging with Vasudha Swaraj we
received a sigh of relief in terms of buyback guarantee of all our crops.
Besides, with the multi-cropping technique we are able to get more yield from
the same farmland, which eventually gives us a better assured income. For that
matter if one yield fails the other crop gives income insurance. So, ROC is a win-win situation for us, he
asserted. With multi-cropping farmers get additional income of from Rs 8000 to
15000 per season, said Mr Atul Mittal, Director, Vasudha Swaraj Pvt Ltd.
2020-21 crop, the production of regenerative organic cotton is planned on 2181
acres of land at Petlawad region. The estimated yield of regenerative organic
cotton for the year is 1350 tonnes. With regenerative organic cotton, Pigeon
pea, Maize, Green gram, Black gram, Cowpea, Soybean, Turmeric, Marigold,
Cucumber, Round gourd, Sweet potato, Groundnut, Chilli, Okra and Brinjal were
has multiple benefits like minimum soil erosion, improved water percolation,
increased moisture retention, increased Micorrhiza population, enhanced
microbial activity, Carbon & Nitrogen Ratio maintained which balances the
electric conductivity of ion and soil pH and increased percentage of available
macro & micro nutrients.

What’s a good Facebook Ad Click Through Rate (CTR)?
It’s difficult to know as Facebook doesn’t publish its average CTRs. Last summer the Wolfgang crew noticed Facebook newsfeed Ads were becoming more prominent in the Facebook newsfeed and yielding fantastic CTRs. Because this is a new development there is very little published research on newsfeed ad CTRs. So to kick off 2014, we thought it would be great idea to collate all our Facebook ad data from the last 7 months to get conclusive CTR figures for Facebook display ads, Facebook newsfeed ads and get an insight into their comparative performance.
We’ve analysed 3 million Facebook impressions, the vast majority of which (92%) occurred in Ireland, over the 7 month period between June 2013 to Jan 2014. Here’s what we’ve found:
- The average CTR for a Facebook display ad is 0.04%, which is about half the average CTR for display ads across the web.
- The average CTR for a Facebook newsfeed ad is a mighty impressive 2.09%; this is the type of CTR you can expect from Google AdWords which is arguably the world’s best direct response advertising medium.
- This means your newsfeed ads are a whopping 51 times more likely to generate clicks for you than an identically targeted display ad on Facebook.
CTR is a key consideration for Irish Facebook advertisers due to what I call “The Facebook Paradox”, i.e. although more than half the country is on Facebook (2.4 million users in Ireland), well-targeted ads often suffer from low reach. Consequently, if you have a small target audience for your ads, it is of critical importance that you choose an advertising format that generates a strong response rate.
- Number of impressions: 3,273,957
- Number of clicks: 53,260
- Number of campaigns: 247
- Timespan: June 13 - Jan 14
- Geography: 92% of impressions in Ireland, 8% international
- Newsfeed Impresions: 2,528,592
- Newsfeed clicks: 52,952 Newsfeed CTR: 2.09%
- Display Impressions: 745,365 Display Clicks: 308
- Avg Display CTR: 0.04%
- Comparative Performance: Newsfeed ads have a 51 times higher CTR than display ads on Facebook
Similar Study - Similar Findings
AdRoll conducted a similar US-centric study last year. They measured Facebook CTRs on retargeted ads via the newsfeed compared to retargeted Facebook display ads. Although they don’t give actual CTRs, they do conclude that newsfeed ads are 49 times more likely to generate a click than display. The AdRoll figure is remarkably close to our 51 times multiple, meaning both studies serve to reinforce each others findings.

Quinn, J.W., and N.D. Mundahl. 1994. Effects of trout stream habitat rehabilitation projects on nongame fish communities in five southeastern Minnesota streams. Final report submitted to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 14+ pp.
Trout stream habitat rehabilitation projects in five streams in Winona, Olmsted, and Wabasha counties, southeastern Minnesota, were assessed for possible effects on the nongame fish community. Based on multiple-pass removal sampling in reference and rehabilitated stream sections, these rehabilitation projects had differential effects on the nongame community that appeared to be determined largely by stream gradient. In higher-gradient (>5 m/km) streams, rehabilitation project areas had nongame populations 45-58% lower then those in reference areas, but fish community diversity was higher in rehabilitated areas. In lower-gradient (<5 m/km) streams, nongame populations in rehabilitated areas were 20-109% higher than those in reference areas, but fish community diversity was lower in rehabilitated areas. In higher-gradient streams, rehabilitation projects appeared to increase pool area but reduce riffle and shallow water areas, which favored trout (brown and brook) populations at the expense of the dominant nongame species such as slimy sculpin and brook stickleback. In lower-gradient streams, rehabilitation projects appeared to increase bank cover and fast-water areas, thus increasing populations of both trout and the dominant nongame species such as slimy sculpin, mottled sculpin, and white sucker.

The overdraft fee bonanza may be coming to an end for U.S. banks. When the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) raised its voice about fees earlier this year, the message was apparently heard loud and clear. On Thursday, Bank of America demonstrated proof of the agency’s action.
The company announced that it has made a sizable, customer-favoring shift for its 35 million consumer checking account holders. The bank said fees related to overdraft services declined by 90% in June and July when compared to the same period in 2021. June and July were the first two months after sweeping changes related to these services were implemented.
That comparison is hefty, too. According to ConsumerAffairs' research, Bank of America's overdraft fees accounted for 1% of its revenue in 2021. One percent may seem insignificant, but it comes out to close to $320 million. Now, for the second quarter of 2022, consumer client overdraft fees made up less than 0.4% of the company’s total revenue.
Things will likely get even better if we’re to take Bank of America at its word. In making its announcement, the company said new solutions and enhanced programs introduced over the last decade will reduce consumer overdraft fees by 97% from 2009 levels by next year.
“For more than a decade, Bank of America has invested heavily in supporting our clients’ financial health through industry-leading solutions and ongoing enhancements to our overdraft services,” said Holly O’Neill, President of Retail Banking, Bank of America. “Our scale, client focus and technology investments have allowed us to adopt policies and innovate in ways that help clients manage their everyday finances and liquidity needs on their own terms, while also delivering for our shareholders.”
Fees aren’t going completely away
Bank of America customers should note that the company is not completely eliminating overdraft fees; it's just reducing the amount that consumers have to pay. As part of its recent actions, customers now only pay $10 for overdraft fees instead of $35.
However, customers can get around those reduced fees through Bank of America's SafeBalance checking account. The program costs $4.95 each month, with exceptions for students, people under age 18, or customers who are enrolled in the bank’s Preferred Rewards program.

Eagles Reluctant In Losing Points Against Cheetahs
By Eagles Admin on 22 September 2015
In this week’s ‘live’ televised encounter on Friday evening, Geylang International and Hougang United will lock horns at the Jalan Besar Stadium, as both teams square off in their third and final, S.League encounter with each other.
Both the Eagles and the Cheetahs would also be looking to return to winning ways in the Great Eastern Yeo’s S.League after mixed results in the previous match weeks.
Geylang snapped their six-match winless streak in the S.League with two consecutive draw results against Warriors FC and Balestier Khalsa, recently. On the other hand, the Cheetahs have been very patchy as their past six games have seen them alternately winning, drawing and losing games.
Geylang have not tasted victory in a league game since the end of May, as their undefeated streak was ended, by none other than Hougang. With that narrow 1-0 score line, the Cheetahs secured their first win of the season, just before the S.League headed into the mid-season break.
Ever since then, the curse has struck the Eagles badly, as they have managed to render only two points in eight games, after the S.League’s restart.
The two teams have also met in the opening stages of the season in March, and that game ended in a goalless stalemate, despite Geylang arguably being the unfortunate of the two, to not walk away with three points.
Nevertheless, with over 18 games played, both teams are now separated by four points in the league as the Cheetahs sit in eighth place, while Geylang find themselves two spots below.
A win for either team will do them a world of good, with Hougang seeking a win to overtake Harimau Muda and also pull further away from the much-improved Courts Young Lions who are breathing down their neck, with an inferior goal difference.
Meanwhile, Geylang will want the three points to propel themselves up the standings and get out of the dreaded ‘bottom spot’ of the league table.
Thus, the Eagles should start recording positive results in their final few games, starting with this fixture, so that they can secure a decent position in the bottom half of the table.
Jozef Kaplan will no doubt, be the key man for the Eagles as the Slovakian attacker, has been a consistent performer for the Bedok-based club. He has great vision, as well as the ability to score, not forgetting his everlasting determination, which usually makes him a fan-favourite at games.
Shawal Anuar and Hafiz Nor have been truly productive and hardworking on both flanks. The Eagles’ speedy duo tormented both Warriors’ and Tigers’ backline with their bag of tricks and lightning quick footwork, in Geylang’s past two fixtures.
The Eagles will also be delighted to welcome their industrious wing-back, Anaz Hadee and Japanese towering defender, Yuki Ichikawa back from suspension and knee injury, respectively. With that, the Eagles are close to a nearly fully fit squad with no injuries or suspensions, with 10 remaining games in the S.League.
Expect the Cheetahs to be troubled by Geylang’s offense, with Bruno Castanheira and Jozef Kaplan adequately supplied with the services of central-midfielders, Shah Hirul, Nor Azli and Mustaqim Manzur.
On the other hand, Geylang would also need to be wary of Hougang’s set-pieces. Carlos Delgado is absolutely a nightmare to deal with when he steps in front of a dead ball. The Argentinean, can either go for goal, or provide a tantalising cross which Kunihiro Yamashita, Vuk Sotirovic and Diego Gama, always look to get onto the end of, to score a goal.
Hougang might be also a rather direct side, with balls punted to either the hotshot Serbian, Sotirovic or colossal Brazilian, Gama whom can superbly hold up the fort well, to bring in other teammates such as tantalizing wingers, Fazli Jaffar and Fareez Farhan, into play.
Regardless of what Hougang tactics are, Geylang’s Head Coach, Jorg Steinebrunner is adamant and confident that his charges will play attractive football regardless of anything, while the Cheetahs are rather offensive-driven despite, being rather compact at the back.
With that said, this game should see some goals, as both sides will pry open the opponents’ back-line and score the goals required to get a favourable and positive result.

STUDY MAKES 10 KEY RECOMMENDATIONS TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT LEFT FURTHER BEHIND IN RECOVERY FROM COVID-19
The Open Doors Initiative have commissioned a report and the findings offer a warning that marginalised people are still being left behind in terms of employment. The Initiative says the report is further evidence of the need for extra supports to be put in place to help these people. The report offers ten key recommendations to ensure all benefit from post COVID-19 economic recovery.
The new report entitled ‘Supporting People from Marginalised Communities into Employment’ was launched earlier today. Written by Professor Thomas M. Cooney, the report examines the barriers to employment across three groups in Irish society. The groups addressed are: (1) Refugee, asylum seekers and migrants; (2) Young people from marginalised backgrounds; and (3) People with disabilities.
The report highlights the multitude of organisations that are currently operating in the employment support space; the complexity of the welfare support system, the diverse array of overlapping programmes available to support labour market activation and the lack of coherent national strategies that could offer structure and clarity.
Commenting on the launch of the report, Chair of The Open Doors Initiative, Oliver Loomes said: “An open mindset regarding employment is needed now more than ever, particularly given the employee restrictions that COVID-19 has generated. The business community are willing to play our part, but we need further Government support to help create better and more diverse workforces. The Open Doors Initiative is working as a conduit to achieve greater levels of employability for marginalised groups.
“We intend to engage further with industry, government and NGOs to promote an employment ethos of greater diversity and enable more people to secure a pathway to work. This is a major collaborative undertaking to ensure that no one gets left behind. We encourage other businesses to get involved as well” continued Mr. Loomes.
There is growing evidence from many economic commentators that marginalised communities will suffer disproportionally higher rates of unemployment in the months ahead, which are exacerbated by barriers they already face. They are also the groups most impacted by Covid so a concentrated and coordinated approach to helping them is absolutely necessary. The report lays out how the employment support sector can best assist people from marginalised communities back into employment during these challenging times.
Author of the report, Professor Cooney said: “Both providers and recipients of the support measures struggle to fully comprehend the most suitable pathway to employment that might be available to marginalised groups and so the effectiveness and efficiencies of the supports are diluted”.
As well as outlining the barriers to employment, which are specific to each of the three groups addressed in the report, it identifies several recommendations and supports, which could help these groups into work in a coordinated and targeted way.
The report offers nine recommendations:
- Build dedicated online hubs;
- Design and implement national strategies;
- Promote entrepreneurship;
- Secure ring-fenced funding;
- Increase government percentage of diverse hiring;
- Create a dedicated recruitment portal for employers/employees;
- Establish a largescale mentoring programme;
- Undertake a skills audit of people in Direct Provision and with disabilities;
- Maximise access to hardware, WIFI and training in Digital Skills.
However, identifying and co-ordinating these activities remains a critical issue. “By implementing these recommendations, Ireland can offer people of all backgrounds equal opportunity to maximise their economic and social potential, but without the existence of a clear and coherent national umbrella strategy, it makes the task of coordination and a focused approach, much more difficult”, said Professor Cooney.
The report concludes that implementing these recommendations to support people from marginalised communities into employment requires the participation of a wide range of stakeholders who will have their own set of organisational goals.
The recommendations presented seek to harmonise and put a greater focus on the many government and non-governmental initiatives that are taking place across the country. These recommendations are also designed to maximise the effectiveness and efficiencies of existing supports while maintaining the principle of being person-centred as the first priority.
The collective ambition is to reduce the rates of unemployment for each of the target communities, but only through working together can such an ambition be truly achieved.

Snuck in one last game of the year for Getty Sport last night. This one was all Bills against a struggling Patriots team.
Nice to have some better weather here at the end of November! Here’s my take from this weekend’s game at an empty Gillette Stadium between the New England Patriots and the Arizona Cardinals. I shot this game for Getty Images. Tough to make pictures from way back in the stands, but we push on in 2020.
Conditions were very poor at Gillette Stadium last weekend for Sunday Night Football between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots. Monsoon-like rain and winds on top of the restrictions on access due to Covid safety protocols made for a very challenging night of shooting. I tried to make the best of it and make pictures to encapsulate the chaos of the game and weather. This was the worst rain I’ve ever shot in.

I wrote my first published novel in 1980. I called it The Sun Singer and found an agent for it. The agent, who ran a one-person shop, liked the novel and accepted it. However several months later, she wrote and said I would have to wait a while before she could actively promote it because another author whom she represented suddenly had a bestseller and that was requiring all of the agent’s time.
I’m glad I didn’t wait for her to finish working on The Clan of the Cave Bear since it went through many sequels. So, I extracted the novel from the agent and it sat until I first published it via iUniverse in 2004. The book’s reception was pretty good, including ending up as a finalist Foreword Magazine’s book of the year awards.
If you’ve been reading this blog for years–or its predecessor blog on Blogger–you know already that the plot for this novel came to me when I was in junior high school just after a visit with my grandparents and parents to Allerton Park in Illinois. Allerton is the home of a famous statue called The Sun Singer. On the way home from the park, a horrid thunderstorm hit and the images of the statue (and others at Allerton) flashed on and off outside the car window as though somebody were operating a giant strobe light.
For many nights afterward, those images became part of my dreams, dreams that were somewhat psychic for a while (long before I knew much about precognitive dreams) and suddenly I was seeing a young man who lived in Decatur, Illinois (where my grandparents lived) who went on a journey to a nearby universe where he became known as “The Sun Singer.” The novel is set in Glacier National Park.
In 2010, several traditional publishers expressed an interest and it ended up with Vanilla Heart Publishing until I left that company and self-published the book in 2015 because it had been around too long to another publisher to risk bringing out again.
The book is a contemporary fantasy as well as a hero’s journey novel. That is to say, that while what the hero does in terms of action is important, how he changes is even more important. The general sequence of events on such a journey was published years ago in Joseph Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces.
I have two things to confess: (1) I have refused to read The Clan of the Cave Bear, and (2) The Sun Singer is my favorite book. A first novel is, I think, rather like a first love. One never forgets either one regardless of how things go later. I like what I’ve written since 1980, but still, a first novel is always the first novel no matter how many books come after it.

I first learned of the Society for Creative Anachronism in 2007, while attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. Growing up, I had always loved Renaissance & Medieval Fairs. My parents had taken me to the Sarasota Medieval Fair every year during middle school and high school. When I was old enough to drive, I dragged my friends to the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Tampa. Then, after I left home for college, I would go to the local Hoggetowne Medieval Faire in Gainesville. One year, the local SCA group set up a pavilion and demo at Hoggetowne and I was thus introduced to the world of recreating Medieval life.
Despite my introduction to the SCA in 2007, I didn’t reach out to my local group for another six years. Then, in 2013, after I had relocated to the Washington DC metro area, I found the Barony of Storvik in the Kingdom of Atlantia.
And that is where my story begins.
This site will be ever-changing, as I write new blog posts on events I’ve recently attended and also catch up on posting about past events and projects that I’ve already completed. Feel free to scroll through and post questions & comments as you like.
