First Exeter PALMAIR flight
Saturday 31 October 2009
The first ever departure of a Palmair aircraft from Exeter at the weekend marked the start of a winter series of flights to Tunisia in North Africa and both Palmair’s managing director, David Skillicorn (left in picture) and Exeter Airport’s managing director Jamie Christon (right in picture) were there to wish passengers a good flight.
A series of Boeing 737 Palmair flights to the winter hot spots of Tunisia and Fuerteventura were announced earlier this year for November until the end of March but Palmair have since made a commitment to strengthen their position at Exeter by laying on a series of flights to Tunisia in May, June and in October 2010.
Commenting on the first flight to Tunisia’s Monastir airport, which departed on Saturday 31 October, Exeter Airport’s managing director Jamie Christon said: “We are very pleased to be working with this award winning operator and the start of this new series of flights to guaranteed winter sunshine destination seems to be indicator of better times ahead. We are delighted to be teaming up with Palmair and supporting local retail shops.”
Palmair which was founded in 1957 by the late Peter Bath is still in the Bath family's hands and they put an emphasis on quality of service and personal interaction with the clients. The UK based company, was voted Britain’s most popular short haul airline last year in a survey by Holiday Which?, the third time in the past ten years.
Palmair’s managing director, David Skillicorn said: “For more than 50 years our company has prospered because of our attention to detail and ensuring high standards of customer care. We believe that in the management and staff of Exeter airport we have found a perfect business partner. This is a real good news story and everyone at Palmair is very excited about the new opportunities for the operation from Devon.”

Parlez-vous Français? Do you speak French?
Claire Nicholls is teaching kids this phrase and more at her La French Classe business and after-school program for kids 4 to 15.
The business started teaching French to kids 20 years ago, and has since changed hands and names a few times. Nicholls took over the school three years ago and re-named it La French Classe. It now has about 50 students attending the after-school program.
For the last two years, the school has been renting a space in Mountain View Lutheran Church. But La French Classe is now ready to move on to bigger and better spaces.
This fall, Nicholls’ new partnership with Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary School in Chandler will come to fruition. Using their classrooms after school, Nicholls will now be able to offer more classes at the same time — something she said she’s been wanting for a long time.
The school was originally for French speakers with children who wanted them to be fluent in French, but now it has grown to include students with English as their first language who are interested in learning French.
Each family has a unique story. Sometimes children come from families with only one French-speaking parent, which can mean they know and understand French but do not speak it at home. La French Classe steps in to help these children maintain the language.
Nicholls herself started out as a parent when she moved to the U.S. in 2015 from Toulouse, France. Her children were too young to have attended school in France — her youngest only in kindergarten at the time — but she still wanted them to understand their native language.
The after-school program was perfect, because it gave her kids the opportunity to learn English at school and French after school at La French Classe.
“I preferred my kids to go to a very good American school, because you have very good American schools here…(but also) to have an after-school program to learn how to read and how to write in French,” Nicholls said.
Fellow teacher Debra Lee similarly stumbled upon the school while searching for a place for her two daughters to attend.
The girls were both adopted from Haiti, and it was important to Lee that they maintained their first language — French. At home, the Colorado native speaks exclusively French with her daughters —with the exception of “Spanish Sundays,” when the girls practice their Spanish.
Lee graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver with a double bachelor’s degree in English and French, so it was only natural for her to speak French with her daughters.
“I was always drawn to primarily the language — the sound of it, the flow of it,” she said. “That’s my gift to my kids. You give your kids what you have and know.”
Tony Lee, Debra’s husband, was also heavily involved in and supportive of the school before his passing three years ago. Lee then decided to join the team as a teacher two years ago after seeing the impact the school had on its students.
“It’s kind of like any other asset that you have, it’s an advantage that can open up doors that you may not even realize,” said Lee. “When you grow up with that, you have a more global, international perspective.”
About 275 million people around the world speak French, and the language is not just isolated in France. More than 96 million French speakers live on the continent of Africa, and around another 2 million live in the U.S., according to 2017 U.S. census data. The school currently has children from Belgium, Senegal, Morocco, Madagascar, Quebec, Haiti and the island of Mayotte.
Debra understands this multicultural influence can be a powerful tool in teaching the language to young kids.
“I want them to have an appreciation for the language and culture, so I like my classes to be not only work, but fun and enjoyable. I think that’s the environment I’ve created,” Lee said.
Diana Kyrisch’s daughter has attended the school for three years, since she was 6, and is in the immersion program with Lee.
“She loves Miss Debra. Miss Debra brings in French cuisine and introduces all these different things to them about the culture, it’s just an experience,” she said. “It’s not just about the language, it’s about the culture.”
Kyrisch has spoken Spanish since learning it in middle school, however she thought it’d be best for her daughter to learn French so she didn’t affect her learning.
“She has no accent at all compared to other kids that are French-American. Because I don’t speak any French, I don’t mess her up,” she said with a laugh. “(I don’t) speak it to her, because she’ll correct me!”
The kids have another year to look forward to at an even better location. The new location is set to be up and running by the 2019-2020 school year at 700 N Hartford St, Chandler, and will hopefully be the school’s resting place.
“For the larger community, I’m really happy,” said Lee. “Having claire, I respect Claire a lot. When she became the director, that was a big change. But this change may not have even happened if she weren’t at the helm, and it is the right thing to do.”
“We would follow it anywhere,” Kyrisch said. “It’s good for the school.”
The school currently offers 30-week courses, an hour and a half a week, for both French and English speakers, or francophone and non-francophone. Registration for the new school year, August through May, begins May 5 and goes through May 20. The first child is $809 for the school year, and additional siblings are $737 each. Fees for books and registration are not included.
The school is also offering a new summer day camp for intermediate level, French-speaking children July 22-26, 9 a.m. to noon.

What do the manufacturers of counter tops and beer equipment have in common? They're the latest companies to be investigated by the Federal Trade Commission over claims that their products were made in the United States.
The FTC's Enforcement Policy Statement on U.S. Origin Claims says that, in order to make an unqualified claim that a product is made in the United States, the product must be "all or virtually all" made here.
The FTC looked into whether Norland International overstated the extent to which its American Beer Equipment products and systems were made in the United States.
In its letter closing the investigation, the FTC reported that, in order to avoid deceiving consumers, the company removed U.S.-origin claims from all marketing materials. The FTC warned the company that if it made U.S.-origin claims in the future, the company's marketing materials "should clearly differentiate U.S.-origin products from imported products." The FTC also cautioned Norland to "take care not to make overly broad U.S.-origin claims on marketing materials that refer to multiple products."
And what about the counter tops? The FTC looked into whether LG Hausys America overstated the extent to which its surface slabs used for counter top fabrication are made here. The FTC said that, "in some instances, essential raw materials incorporated into the Company's quartz and solid surface slabs are imported. In other instances, slabs are imported as finished products."
In its closing letter, the FTC reported that, in order to avoid deceiving consumers, LG Hausys implemented a remedial action plan to update its representations, which included: (1) removing U.S.-origin claims from or adding qualified claims to marketing materials; (2) sending out more than 5,000 update kits to customers; and (3) making diligent efforts to sure the accuracy of claims being made by dealers, including sending five rounds of e-mail blasts, monitoring e-mail open and read rates, conducting field visits, and terminating non-compliant dealers.
The FTC continues to aggressively look at "made in USA" claims. And, when you get it wrong, at a minimum, they expect you to take significant steps to ensure that you fix what's out there and prevent the problem from happening again in the future.

Ever since former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly confirmed that a biopic will be made on his life by filmmaker Luv Ranjan, everyone has been guessing which Bollywood actor would be chosen to play dada on the silver screen.
As per a report in News 18 last month, Ganguly had urged the makers to cast Ranbir Kapoor, as the BCCI Chief feels he is the perfect actor to potray Ganguly on screen.
The Sourav Ganguly biopic has been in the talks for the longest time. Finally, there is some great news for the fans of the former Indian cricket captain. The film has finally been greenlighted by dada himself and it will be made by filmmaker Luv Ranjan.
Ganguly took to his social media pages to open up about the big announcement.
Cricket has been my life, it gave confidence and ability to walk forward with my head held high, a journey to be cherished.— Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) September 9, 2021
Thrilled that Luv Films will produce a biopic on my journey and bring it to life for the big screen ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ¥@LuvFilms @luv_ranjan @gargankur @DasSanjay1812

Considering Kapoor and Ranjan are already doing a film together, it won’t be surprising to see the two join hands together once again, for the Sourav Ganguly biopic.


Driving in my car, I listened to a news station report on the June 6 D-Day celebrations commemorating the day of the Normandy landings — initiating the Western Allied effort to liberate western Europe from Nazi Germany.
Walking through the house after our family returned to their homes after Christmas, it suddenly seemed so quiet. Keith and I took down the Christmas decorations, and then it seemed so bare.

Just about as all-American as apple pie and baseball, National Ag Day is a celebration of what had made this country great – its farmers, ranchers and entire agriculture community.
An annual observance, National Ag Day was established in 1973 and is organized by the Agriculture Council of America with the purpose of encouraging Americans to learn and the role of ag in our everyday lives. This year on March 20 and throughout the week leaders from across the country and the ag spectrum took part in a series presentations and activities, with several events hosted in the nation’s Capitol.
During a presentation at the USDA, Vice President Mike Pence told the gathering that it “is remarkable to think, on this National Ag Day, what American agriculture does and how advanced it is. America’s farmers have long led the world in innovation and achievement. And as this group knows better than anyone, working in American agriculture today is a far cry from your grandfather’s farm.”
He continued, “In fact, today in America, we grow and produce here on Earth increasingly depends on the satellites and the technology that we have circling the globe in outer space.”
Also remarkable, Vice President Pence said, is the fact that “agriculture accounts for nearly one-tenth of our nation’s economy, in large part because we export more than $100 billion worth of agricultural goods every year. In fact, every $1 billion in agricultural exports supports approximately 8,000 American jobs.”
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue noted, ““For the past 45 years, National Ag Day has played a key role in helping people understand where their food and fiber comes from and how important agriculture is to our national economy. Our farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers in America are feeding and clothing the world – and it’s important to never forget that. I am thrilled that we have a day, really a whole week, where we can celebrate the bounty of the American harvest.”
The National Press Club hosted a panel discussion in Washington, D.C., looking at the relationship between consumer and farmer and the matter of sustainability. A story posted at http://www.farmfutures.com/farm-policy/celebrating-agriculture-and-farmers noted that the panel, which was moderated by Farm Broadcaster Max Armstrong, “engaged in a range of issues surrounding sustainability including the idea that producers should continue telling their story of the work they do on the topic.” The panel included John Teeple, representing John Deere; Mark Ulness, John Deere Outstanding Young Farmer; Emily Buck from Ohio State University; Zippy Duvall from the American Farm Bureau Federation; and Sarah Hendren from Culver Franchising Systems LLC.
Other events in the Capitol included an Agri-Pulse Ag & Food Policy Summit, and Ag Day observances were held in every state as well.

Scientific research Behind Turmeric
Turmeric as well as its parts, including curcumin, have actually been the topic of clinical researches.
” Some study results show that people that have osteo arthritis reported less joint discomfort when eating turmeric in dishes,” Brown states. “Turmeric’s result on state of mind disorders, clinical depression and mental deterioration have likewise been explored, but research studies are tiny, so more study will reveal if there is a advantage.”

Santini Cycling Wear and Unipublic have presented the Official La Vuelta 21 jerseys. The presentation was held yesterday at the Hipódromo de La Zarzuela, in Madrid.
They have also been presented five special kits designed by Santini to highlight some of the most emblematic stages of the 76th edition of the Spanish round.
In addition, the two jerseys that will highlight the leading riders in the official classifications of the CERATIZIT Challenge by La Vuelta women's race, also had their debut today, along with the jerseys of their male counterparts.
“Sponsoring a race as prestigious as La Vuelta for five years now is something we are particularly proud of,” explained Paola Santini, Marketing Director of Santini Cycling Wear. "It reaffirms our unwavering commitment to professional cycling and the apparel of its great champions."
The official La Vuelta 21 jerseys will be produced at Santini's factory in Bergamo (Italy), using recycled fabrics: Ecofabric RECY by Corno, an ecological fabric made with recycled yarn made from reused materials and Sitip's Native - Ecoknit, composed by recycled fibers and yarn without polluting chemicals. The goal is to reduce the consumption of natural resources and dependence on non-renewable energy.
The official jerseys are: La Roja, sponsored by Carrefour, which designates the leader of the general classification; the green jersey, which designates the leader of the Škoda-sponsored points classification; the best youngster's white jersey, sponsored by Fenie Enegía and the polka dot jersey worn by the King of the Mountain, sponsored by Loterías y Apuestas del Estado.
The riders of the 7th edition of the CERATIZIT Challenge by La Vuelta will also fight to wear one of the two official Santini jerseys presented today at the La Zarzuela Racecourse.
The general director of La Vuelta, Javier Guillén, celebrated "a five-year period of beneficial collaboration for all." "The jerseys are the hallmark of a cycling race in stages and for us it is a satisfaction that Santini has spent five years wearing the most efficient and stylish garments of the international peloton," he added.
The leading jerseys in a video:
In addition to the official jerseys, Santini has prepared, for yet another year, a series of commemorative kits inspired by some of the most emblematic stages of La Vuelta 21.
The five kits include a jersey, shorts, socks, hat and gloves as well as a matching cotton T-shirt.
The Burgos commemorative kit pays tribute to the first stage of La Vuelta 21, an individual time trial in the capital of Burgos.
The design of the jersey is inspired by the rose window that adorns the façade of the majestic Cathedral of Santa María, built in the 01th century and which this year celebrates its XNUMXth Centenary. The colors chosen for this design are red and white, in reference to those of the flag of Castilla y León. In addition, the number XNUMX appears reminding that it is the inaugural stage of the test.
Stage 7 of La Vuelta 21 will start in Gandía and end at the unprecedented summit of the Balcón de Alicante.
The route will take the peloton through the most beautiful natural and wooded areas of the provinces of Valencia and Alicante and, therefore, the color chosen for this second kit is green. The back and sleeves of the jersey bear the inscription Estima la Natura ("Love Nature"), the motto that reads the monument located on the esplanade of the viewpoint that awaits at the top.
The antennas located on the Extremaduran peak of Pico Villuercas have served as inspiration for the third commemorative kit. The antenna array is part of an old military complex and its shape will be reflected on the back and sleeves of the jersey. The colors are inspired by the shades of the Extremadura flag.
The fourth commemorative kit pays tribute to one of the most anticipated stages of the 2021 edition: the 18th, which ends at the top of Altu d'El Gamoniteiru.
A strenuous and unprecedented Asturian port of 15 km at 9,69% on average and double-digit ramps that reach 17%, for a drop of 1.465 m. The summit is at an altitude of 1.791 m, this being the figure that has served as inspiration for the design of the Santini jersey dedicated to this stage.
The predominant color is a combination of blues in reference to the sky that cyclists hope to touch upon reaching the top, with red and white details in reference to the antennas that also adorn the end of the stage.
The back of the sweater includes the detail of a crown made with the curves of the fearsome climb. The number 18 also appears as a reference to the stage number that the jersey symbolizes.
In honor of the final day of La Vuelta 21, which ends in the historic city of Santiago de Compostela, Santini has created a final kit, with blue and yellow tones, and the pilgrim's shell, which symbolizes the Camino de Santiago and that will appear at the back and on the sleeves of the jersey. A nod to the Xacobeo year, which is celebrated this year in Galicia and throughout Spain.
To complete the kits, Santini also presents a line of essential accessories for cyclists: a windbreaker, a vest and a multicolored cap with a fun print.
Both the leaderboards' jerseys and the special and commemorative collections of the stages can be purchased through the Santini website (santinicycling.com) as well as in the official store of La Vuelta

New Yorkers are cheering as the St. Regis Hotel has now reinstalled Maxfield Parrish's famous King Cole Bar mural after a four year absence. After a century of being surrounded by smokers, the artwork has been restored to its original stunning luster. The result is like seeing the large 30 foot painting for the first time.
The restored mural now glistens with an iridescent effect that is exactly what Parrish famously created during his lifetime without equal.
Like a master chef who layers flavor on flavor to create a final culinary masterpiece, Parrish placed layers after layer of light-enhancing varnish between his individual colors to create the unique glowing effect that the staff of the Rustin Levenson Art Conservation Associates have so carefully reclaimed.
Art historians, as a result, consider Parrish to be in a class by himself – just like the famed King Cole Bar itself. Year after year the rich, the famous and the talented have favored this New York landmark. Most often it is the Bar’s famed Bloody Mary cocktail that everyone seems to ask for at least once (or twice).
Indeed, this esteemed cocktail was created in its final form at the King Cole by bar master Fernand, “Pete” Petiot. And although there had been previous versions, it was at the St Regis that it was finally christened the Bloody Mary – all thanks to James A. Michener and Juanita Hall.
Prior to 1947, the Bar had served the cocktail under the name of the Red Snapper. But that year a previously unknown writer, James A. Michener, released a small book entitled, Tales of the South Pacific. Within a year this collection of revealing stories about war in the Pacific theater would win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. It would go on to be transformed into the epic musical, South Pacific, by Rogers and Hammerstein.
Enter Juanita Hall. In the Broadway production and also in the 1958 movie version, she would play a unique character entitled, yes – you guessed it, Bloody Mary. A skilled jazz singer in her own right, she made this role her own. Her haunting rendition of the song, Bali Ha’i, won her the Tony Award, the first ever presented to an African American woman.
In one of those rare moments when a society acknowledges a major cultural change, the name of this half tomato-half vodka (plus spices) cocktail converted overnight to the Bloody Mary, the name of Juanita Hall's unforgettable character.
And so it has been called ever since. Oh, various individual people would, through the years, say they alone named the drink. Such occurances, however, seldom stem from a single source - history rarely works that way.
No perhaps, just perhaps, it was the conscience of the American people who decided to honor a book, a musical, a pivotal role – a difference, an acceptance of equality... all still presided over to this very day by ol’ King Cole in the restored mural that now glows softly behind the bar at the legendary St Regis Hotel.
Post Note, November 21, 2013: Chef John De Lucie just finished his relaunch of the King Cole Bar and Salon. Among those present to celebrate the re-installation of Parrish's grand painting at the St. Regis Hotel were Uma Thurman and Hilary Rhoda - definitely ladies of discerning taste and style.

The US had been planning to kill Iranian general Qasem Soleimani for ‘18 months’, before the eventual strike that brought Iran and America to the brink of all-out war, it has been revealed.
Discussions to kill the head of Iran’s al Quds force, which conducted operations for the Iranian regime abroad, had been ‘going on for months’, according to the New York Times.
Soleimani was killed in a drone strike outside Baghdad airport on January 3, after President Trump said he had been ‘actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region’.
He was considered to be the second most powerful man in Iran.
His death prompted threats of ‘severe retaliation’ from Tehran, with a barrage of ballistic missiles fired at two US bases earlier this week.
President Trump said there had been no casualties, despite claims on Iranian state TV that 80 US troops had been killed.
It has now emerged that Soleimani was being tracked by US intelligence officials for months, with surveillance intensifying in May.
After attacks on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf in June, which the US blamed Iran for, Trump’s then national security adviser John Bolton asked defence officials to come up with new plans to stop Iranian aggression.
He was then reportedly given the option of killing Soleimani and other leaders of Iran’s revolutionary guard.
In September, defence officials were said to be considering strikes against him, but told the President that it was too risky to target him in Iran.
However, plans were made for a possible strike in Iraq or Syria.
Following the attack on the US embassy on December 31 by demonstrators who were protesting against US air strikes targeting an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq and Syria that had left 25 dead, the President was given several potential targets after Iran was suspected being involved.
It was suggested that US forces could target Iranian energy facilities and an Iranian Revolutionary Guard command-and-control ship used to direct small boats that harass oil tankers in the waters around Iran.
Soleimani would fly on commercial planes and book several tickets to avoid surveillance, often asking for the first seat in Business class so he could quickly leave the plane, according to the New York Times.
As tensions between Tehran and Washington increased, Soleimani flew to Lebanon on New Year’s Day to meet with the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, who warned him of a possible assassination attempt.
The general is said to have laughed and said he hoped to die a martyr.
On the same day US intelligence officials are said to have picked up increased ‘scraps of information’ that suggested Soleimani was planning ‘attacks on American embassies.’
It was only then that the President decided to authorise the strike on the 62-year-old.
However, some of Trump’s officials were left surprised that he had taken the most extreme option presented to him to curb Iranian aggression.

This week’s photo challenge is Trio.
Not a cloud was in sight.
No one really wanted to be under the sun; it was like 40 degrees Celsius, even this beach at Langkawi was deserted.
However, the sky, the water and the palm trees were so captivating.
The palms, especially, were like three ladies dancing on the beach, swaying in the wind.
This picture was therefore taken with a lot of sweat ( luckily no tears!)

The Southern Iceland Tour transports guests to the gems that are dotted along the country’s southern shore.
Over the course of this 10 hour day trip you will take in the mountainous coastline shaped by the demanding Atlantic, the spectacular and rugged waterfalls that attract visitors from all over the world as well as glaciers and an array of geological formations.
The trip commences with you being picked up right from your hotel door and then stops at the major attractions of the south shore. On this Southern Iceland Tour you will visit a variety of places including:
– Black Sand Beach
Collections of columnar structures sit atop of the dark, fine sand at Reynisfjara’s Black Sand Beach. The rock formations were created thousands of years ago as a result of rapid cooling, creating a natural staircase of basaltic columns.
– Sólheimajökull Glacier
Myrdalsjokull ice-cap extends an icey limb in the form of Sólheimajökull glacier. The glacier is constantly changing and shrinking as a result of ice melting away and is currently 1-2km wide and approximately 11km long.
– Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
Water pours over the 60m high jagged cliff face. Nature has kindly carved out the rock at the base of the fall, allowing visitors to a walk directly behind the waterfall and treating them to a unique Icelandic experience.
– Skógafoss Waterfall
A 25m wide stream of water cascades into the river that gently snakes from Skógafoss Waterfall. If you are lucky, you might catch the iridescent colors of the rainbow in the mist surrounding the fall.
Over the course of the 10 hour trip you will visit some of Iceland’s most spectacular sights. Join us on the Southern Iceland Tour and discover the sheer natural diversity of one of Europe’s most thriving countries.


The South is rising again. Alabama craft breweries (at least nine we can think of right now) have flourished since the state ABV laws were changed in 2009 (when alcohol content greater than 6 percent was unlawful in the state). One of our favorites is Back Forty Beer Co.; the name is inspired by an old agricultural term referring to the 40 acres of land situated furthest from the barn (classic). Back Forty launched in 2009 with its Naked Pig Pale Ale, and the brewhouse hasn’t stopped making daring and delicious craft beers since (a big nod to its Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale). Just recently the Gadsden, Ala., brewery launched Back Forty TV, the source for all Back Forty series, shorts, docs and other original programming that the company wants to use to market its growing brand. To give readers a little background, we suggest you first take a tour of Back Forty’s brewing facility in downtown Gadsden, watching the video above. After that, visit the Back Forty TV page on YouTube here.

President Trump can claim a state of national emergency on the southern border and build a wall. Obama claimed a state of emergency in Libya, then gave them arms and murdered their leader!
President Trump announced on Friday that he could build a border wall on the southern border if he chooses. All he has to do is declare a state of national emergency and then build the wall. Even Democrats know that this is correct. Democrat Congressman Adam Smith, the chairman of the House Armed Service Committee, has explained that President Donald Trump does in fact have the authority to use the US military to build a border wall.
Of course President Trump can do this. Just look at former President Barack Obama.
In 2011 Obama declared a national state of emergency related to Libya. According to reports in February of 2011 –
President Obama issued an executive order Friday evening that imposes immediate sanctions on Libyan ruler Muammar al Qaddafi, his sons and his accomplices in the slaughter of civilians. In a letter accompanying the order, Obama declared a national emergency over the situation.
Obama’s national emergency lasted his entire term and was renewed up through January of 2017, shortly before President Trump’s inauguration. Obama, in a letter to the House of Representatives, stated upon the 2017 renewal –
I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating that the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13566 of February 25, 2011, with respect to Libya is to continue in effect beyond February 25, 2017.
Colonel Muammar Qadhafi, his government, and close associates took extreme measures against the people of Libya, including by using weapons of war, mercenaries, and wanton violence against unarmed civilians. In addition, there was a serious risk that Libyan state assets would be misappropriated by Qadhafi, members of his government, members of his family, or his close associates if those assets were not protected. The foregoing circumstances, the prolonged attacks, and the increased numbers of Libyans seeking refuge in other countries caused a deterioration in the security of Libya, posed a serious risk to its stability, and led me to declare a national emergency to deal with this threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
The Government of National Accord (GNA), which was established through the Libyan-led and U.N.-facilitated Libyan Political Dialogue, has sought to bolster its support in Libya but continues to face obstacles from spoilers and hardliners. The House of Representatives in eastern Libya, which the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) stipulates should function as the GNA’s legislature, continues its attempts to compete with, rather than work with, the GNA. GNA-aligned forces, backed by air strikes and intelligence support from the U.S. military, successfully ousted the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) from Sirte; however, ISIL and other terrorist groups continue to pose a threat to Libyan stability as well as U.S. and allied interests outside Libya. Recent clashes between militias highlight the continued threat of violence in Libya and the potential for renewed fighting over the country’s resources, and we run the risk of further destabilization if sanctions do not remain in effect.
Obama, and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, not only created a state of national emergency related to Libya but he then gave the ISIS fighters arms in the region and therefore helped the terrorists overthrow the Qadhafi government. These thugs eventually captured their leader and murdered him on live television.
Hillary Clinton was so proud of the terrorists she claimed, using a phrase from ancient Rome, “We came, we saw, he died.”
Hillary and the Clinton Foundation reportedly made millions on the Libyan quagmire that still goes on to this day. The Obama Administration was complicit in the movement of arms in Libya and the Middle East and were running guns out of the US Embassy in Benghazi. Arms that eventually made it into the hands of US enemies like ISIS and the Taliban. This is why they tried to cover up the 9-11 bombing of the Benghazi Embassy and murder of four brave Americans there. They didn’t want anyone to know what they were really doing there.

The Chiefs have acquired defenseman Nathan Kelly (2000) from the Trail Smoke Eaters in exchange for defenseman Powell Connor (2000).
The deal involved three teams as Kelly was moved from the Powell River Kings to Trail earlier in the day.
In 39 games with the Kings last season Kelly scored four goals and added eight assists. In fifteen games this season he has three assists.
Connor is in his third season in the BCHL all of which have been spent with the Chiefs. In 118 career regular season games he has six goals and 35 assists.
Chiefs General Manager and Head Coach Brian Maloney said moving Connor was not an easy decision.
“Powell has been a big part of the Chiefs program but sometimes when you’re in the same spot for a while things can grow stale,” said Maloney. “Both Powell and I have been talking about his development and we both agreed that a change in scenery was best. Powell was a big part of our team but we also understand this is a development league and want to help kids develop whether it’s with us or elsewhere.”
Maloney is excited to add Kelly to the team.
“We watched lots of video on him and remember him from his major midget days. I came across some old notes I took on him and it was all positive. He’s a smooth and reliable player. His hockey IQ and character score off the charts. He’s not flashy but coaches love his type of player.”
Kelly is expected to be in the Chiefs lineup this weekend.
The Chiefs would like to thank Powell for all his efforts both on and off the ice during his two plus seasons in Chilliwack and wish him all the best in Trail.
For more information on this latest news keep an eye on the Chiefs Facebook live page later today.

ENG vs IND: India’s Stand-In Captain
India’s stand-in captain for the rescheduled Test against England will be decided after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Chetan Sharma reaches the UK, according to a Cricbuzz report.
Currently, the BCCI chief selector, Chetan Sharma, is in Dublin with the Indian team. Notably, India are playing a two-match T20I series against the Ireland National Cricket Team.
Also, the other three BCCI selectors – Sunil Joshi, Debasis Mohanty, and Harvinder Singh – have been in Bengaluru for the Ranji Trophy 2022 final, which concluded on Sunday with Madhya Pradesh lifting their maiden trophy.
Meanwhile, India all-format captain Rohit Sharma was tested positive for COVID-19 as per the result of a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) conducted on Saturday (June 25).
“Team India captain Mr. Rohit Sharma has tested positive for COVID-19 following a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) conducted on Saturday.” He is currently in isolation at the team hotel and is under the care of the BCCI Medical Team. An RT-PCR test will be conducted on Sunday to ascertain his CT value, “BCCI said in an official statement.
The news of Rohit’s being COVID-19 positive came after the third day’s play of the warm-up match between India and Leicestershire. Rohit didn’t bat for India in the second innings of the warm-up game, and in the first innings, he had made 25 runs.
Chetan Sharma Set To Travel To The UK On June 2
The chief selector, Chetan Sharma, will be travelling to the UK after the conclusion of the two-match T20I series between Hardik Pandya-led India and Andy Balbirnie-led Ireland. The second and last match of the series will be played on June 28.
Meanwhile, Rohit can still play the rescheduled Test against England if he tests negative before the game as there are no mandatory quarantine protocols in England for a COVID-19 positive test result and it all depends on the team protocols.
By the time Chetan Sharma reaches the UK, the fitness status of Rohit is expected to be clear. Presently, the BCCI selectors are not pressing the panic button to announce a stand-in India captain for the one-off Test as the thinking is that a stand-in captain can always be named at the last minute as India have options like Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Ravichandran Ashwin.
Also, according to the same Cricbuzz report, Mayank Agarwal could travel to England for the one-off Test as India only have Shubman Gill as a pure opener in the squad. The final decision on this matter has not yet been taken.
The 5th and last Test match of the series between India and England, which was cancelled last year due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian camp, will be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham from Friday, July 1.

Who is not familiar with the Tube is colored green. Almost the entire community must know with a tube of green.this tube is a tube which contains gas as fuel for cooking stoves in the kitchen that are mostly used by people who at the beginning of the year 2000 an already move from fuel using a kerosene stove to stove using gas as a fuel his.
The reason many people are moving is because the stock of firewood in the universe that comes from the trees of the wood has already started hard to find, especially in urban areas, the wood of the tree is very rarely found because of the construction of a very rapidly so it is sometimes not restrained again to be able to create a balance between living creatures.
The use of gas is also triggered by the speed of the fire and the heat of his fire obtained from the stove which is sourced from the gas inside the tube is. The resulting fire colored blue indicate the heat of the fire and make a quick dishes can be served so as to save time. Compared with the stove that uses kerosene as a fuel his. Kerosene stove is already very efficient to cook.
With the presence of the gas to shift the dominance of the use of kerosene in the 2000's. At the beginning of the use of gas is a lot of news on tv almost every day there's just a fire accident that caused the gas is leaked then explode and result in fire that scorch the building that most of the building is wood.
In the use of gas is very easy to detect leaks is to smell the scent is not pleasant, this is a signal as a sign that there is a leak in the gas line that exists at that address.to anticipate it, we must do the checking on the gas and see if there is loose or less strict on each component.
These fires caused due to lack of education and understanding given to the society for the prevention of leakage on the tube. Up to this time has already started declining numbers of fires caused by the use of gas. Indeed most of the actual fire sourced from leaking hose connecting the gas to the stove, and that hose is not in accordance with existing standards alias adulterated.
Gas 3 kg is the gas scale-buy only for the poor. This is reinforced saved there is the inscription "only for the poor". So this gas is a gas which is already subsidized so that the public that the economy is less able to be able to buy and to boost her economy as fuel for cooking can be purchased at a cheap price.
This is the program of the government want to do subsidies to the poor through the gas bersubsi is also expected to be right on target. And not infrequently found also eligible for through the purchase of this gas is requested of the identity card. So each agent also requested the accountability report sales of gas to the supervisory function.


HomeMusicReview: Reverend Horton Heat Reverend Horton Heat “Lucky 7” (Artemis Records) “Lucky 7” is the seventh album from Reverend Horton Heat (eighth if you count “Holy Roller,” their recently-released anthology). The album finds the trio in fine form, dishing out their brand of raucous rockabilly with a definite surf influence. As far as subject matter, there’s nothing terribly original. There are songs about love gone wrong (“What’s Reminding Me of You,” “Remember Me”), songs about cars (“Reverend Horton Heat’s Big Blue Car,” “Suicide Doors”), and songs about both love gone wrong and cars (“Galaxy 500”). They occasionally mix it up with a song about drinking (“Loco Gringos Like a Party”), or by slowing down the hectic tempo to deliver a catchy but strange number like “The Tiny Voice of Reason.” Don’t let any of this get in the way of the reason we’re all here, though–these guys can flat out play. The Reverend’s guitar wails, and Scott Churilla goes gonzo on the drums. The Reverend and his compatriots are like a well-oiled machine, and a roaring one at that–it’s truly something to behold. “Lucky 7” comes recommended.

The government's cuts to the UK's flood defence budgets risk leaving the country's 5m at-risk homes less protected and the poorest communities losing out to richer areas, according to a critical report by MPs.
"Urgent action is needed to ensure that our communities are adequately and effectively protected from flooding," said Anne McIntosh, a Conservative MP and chair of the Environment, Food and Rural affairs select committee.
The increased risk of flooding, such as the floods that swamped homes in Cornwall last month, is due to climate change. Under the last government, spending on flood defences rose 33% in the four years to 2010/1. But the coalition government cut flood-defence spending in the comprehensive spending review.
"Simply to maintain the current level of protection in the face of increasing flood risks requires increased investment and the significant CSR cuts will increase concerns that funding on flood defences remains inadequate," the committee's report concluded, noting the cuts could be a "classic example" of a false economy.
McIntosh said the biggest challenge was whether local authorities would have sufficient money to protect their communities from flooding when the responsibility is passed to them on 1 April next year. Defra and the Department for Communities and Local Government suffered the largest budget cuts in Whitehall. "It's all very well for the government to say we're not ringfencing [local spending], but how do we know they are going to have the money for flood defences," said McIntosh.
Responding to the report, the environment minister Richard Benyon said: "The reality is that central government cannot foot the entire bill for flood defences. We are consulting on a fairer way of allocating funding for flood defences, and by allowing local and private contributions, we can pool resources and make sure projects that local communities want go ahead, and which otherwise wouldn't have happened at all."
But Jamie Reed, the shadow floods minister, said: "The report clearly vindicates our concerns that the level of cuts proposed by the government will leave many communities exposed and vulnerable to flooding. The committee has exposed the risk that the government is taking and how poorer communities will suffer the hardest."
McIntosh said new types of funding needed to be investigated, such as asking developers to contribute to works that benefited them. But the report said: "It is by no means certain that any shortfall in public funding can yet be made up by private contributions." It also said government plans to allow communities to pay part of the cost of flood defences that would not otherwise be funded failed to explain how poorer communities would not be disadvantaged. "It could be deemed to be unfair," said McIntosh. "What we are asking for is clear principles to be agreed to secure funding from all sources to meet the government's flood defences."
There were also concerns about the impact of other Defra cuts, said McIntosh, such as the proposed sell-off of Forestry Commission land , because forests are important in flood prevention. But she added that other projects could be important, including the creation of new bogs in upland areas which could store water. McIntosh represents the flood-prone constituency of Thirsk and Malton in north Yorkshire.
Last night the Met Office said there was a risk of flooding when the current cold spell ends and snow and ice thaws, but that it would depend how quickly temperatures rose and whether it also rained.
The availability of flood insurance has been a serious issue and the last government agreed a "statement of principles" with the insurance industry for universal coverage in return for rising spending on flood defences, which is now not happening. The report says the government must "urgently" reach a new agreement.
The prime minister and the environment secretary, Caroline Spelman, were previously accused of spinning the scale of the cuts, with David Cameron calling the budgets "roughly the same" as before. Spelman then had to clarify the changes were an 8% cut if the previous four years were compared with the next four years. The Environment Agency chair, Lord Chris Smith, and the National Floods Forum, which represents 200 local action groups, used the most recent year as a baseline, making the cuts roughly 25%, or £616m over four years.

Two of the NFL's top coaches are rallying around embattled Denver Broncos head man/offensive play-caller Nathaniel Hackett, whose rookie foibles have spawned relentless national mockery.
Hackett's sympathizers include his upcoming opponent, 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan.
“It’s not always about getting the play in. You need receiver substitutions, you need the quarterback getting to the line. There’s so many things that go into it," Shanahan said Wednesday of his own experiences, via 9News' Mike Klis. "You’re always responsible for it but it takes a whole team to do that the right way and early on it is a little bit harder especially when you’re playing with a bunch of new players. So it takes time to do.
"I mean I remember my first game, I went for it four times. And they were ones I should not have gone for and I’d never done that before. And that’s when I realized, you can’t think like the coordinators. Those are all experiences you go (more) through for the first time but he’s done this for a while and you guys have a good coach there and very good offensive play caller."
Hackett, 42, has been an NFL assistant since 2009 and an offensive coordinator since 2013 (save for a 2015-16 stint as quarterbacks coach). Naturally, the son of longtime coach Paul Hackett is well versed with the fundamentals of football — the same fundamentals that escaped him throughout Denver's first two regular-season games.
The 4th-and-5 fiasco. Time management, or lack thereof. Mind-numbing red zone failures. Galaxy-brained trickeration. A smorgasbord of drive-killing penalties. And so on. And so on.
Nobody ever said the gig would be easy. But nobody thought Hackett would make it this difficult, either.
"He'll figure it out, no doubt about it," Packers HC Matt LaFleur said Wednesday, per beat reporter Ryan Wood. "So everybody needs to stop hitting that panic button down there."
The panic button will stop being hit when the self-destruct button isn't simultaneously pressed. After a half-decade of absolute futility, Broncos Country has zero patience for on-the-job training, especially with a quarter-billion-dollar quarterback under center.
To his credit, however, Hackett is exhausting every available resource in order to minimize his learning curve — and quickly.
“That's something that we really jumped into and wanted to make sure that we can get better at that," he said Wednesday. "That starts with me, and I'm doing every single thing I can to try to put myself in a position to be able to make quicker, faster [and] more efficient decisions. [General Manager] George [Paton], ‘Moug’ (Assistant General Manager Darren Mougey), all those guys have been absolutely spectacular in helping me through that process because that is something that is new for me. I think we're going to have some good answers as we move forward.”
The answers better come, because the criticism will only grow louder, and those voices of support that much quieter.

Final Report for ENC97-026
[Note to online version: The report for this project includes tables and appendices that could not be included here. The regional SARE office will mail a hard copy of the entire report at your request. Just contact North Central SARE at (402) 472-7081 or firstname.lastname@example.org.]
Through this grant Practical Farmers of Iowa, in cooperation with Iowa State University Extension, organized and carried out three sustainable agriculture-oriented in-service training sessions on working farms in the summer of 1998. The objective was to acquaint participants, especially staff of agencies working in agriculture, with farm-based perspectives on issues ranging from water quality to direct marketing.
The three training sessions were formulated with input from a number of agencies, both federal and state, and drew on local resource people to address local priority issues. Presenters included farmers, small businesspeople, rural development agents, university scientists, and agency personnel. The most effective sessions were those utilizing farmers and teams of farmers with other professionals. The training was well-rated by participants, but organizers learned much that will improve future agency and inter-agency events like these. The sessions also expanded the list of agency contacts on topics related to sustainable agriculture.
The following is the project objective as expressed in the proposal:
Objective: to train NRCS and Extension staff and farmers in innovative practices and systems approaches that show promise for use in EQIP, whole-farm planning, and on-going agency functions.
Education & Outreach Initiatives
Te following methodology was set out in the proposal:
Approach: Three one-day, on-farm training sessions will be held, one in eastern Iowa, one in western Iowa, and one in the central part of the state. Sessions will be hosted and taught by farm families with exemplary operations in terms of the practices and systems of most interest to NRCS and Extension staff. Additionally, three other producers with experience in the practices and systems to be explored will contribute on specific topics at each site. Events will include both hands-on, in-field sessions and classroom-style workshops. Team presentations will utilize both farmer expertise and specialists from NRCS and the Extension Service.
The project methodology reflected the desire to take agency staff beyond the valuable-but-limited sustainable agriculture in-services that have taken place in conference centers and universities and introduce these staff to producers in their own environment. We felt this approach would better convey the complexity and immediacy of current sustainable farming issues.
In order to spur the active involvement of participating agencies, we met with administrators in February, 1998 to formulate a syllabus for the three in-service events that would both satisfy the priorities of agency administrators and utilize the farmer skills that could be brought to bear. In the interest of reaching additional agency personnel, invitations were extended not only to the Extension Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) but also to the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDALS).
The consultations with agency administrators proved both stimulating and frustrating. In many cases these representatives made excellent suggestions regarding resource people. One agency representative, however, did not seem to appreciate the difference between this kind of training and that focused on the needs of industrial swine production.
With agency concurrence, it was decided that the three in-service events would take place on farms in central, northeast, and western Iowa and would focus on:
• Issues around Integrated Farming (manure management, sustainable swine production, cropping systems);
• Quality Water, Quality of Life (water quality, intensive rotational grazing, and planning/decision making tools);
• Building Markets, Building Communities (local marketing of hoophouse swine and other products, organic marketing and production, community strategies for agricultural development) respectively.
We recruited farmers, agency personnel, and private sector individuals as appropriate for the themes chosen. Host farms were selected for geography, skills and practices, and the presence of a covered structure that could serve as a meeting site in case of foul weather. The farms selected were:
• Central Iowa -- Richard and Sharon Thompson farm, Boone;
• Northeast Iowa -- Matt and Diane Stewart farm, Oelwein; and
• Western Iowa -- Victor and Cindy Madsen farm, Audubon, and Ron and Maria Rosmann farm, Harlan
The western Iowa in-service event was divided into a morning and an afternoon session at two different farms in two communities. Each farm and each community has unique strengths that we wanted to capture.
In order to emphasize the opportunities for farmer-staff collaboration, we featured, where possible, presentations that involved both farmers and the professionals with whom they work. It has also been our experience that this sort of presentation has the greatest credibility.
The attached flier was made available to our agency contacts to publicize the events within their organizations. In addition, press releases (sample attached) were placed with one-to-two dozen local media in the localities where the events were to take place. The in-services were also publicized through the Practical Farmers of Iowa annual guide to field days (attached). It was our desire to have a mix of agency and non-agency attendees, and this is why we made the effort to acquaint the public with these events. Additionally, local publicity was intended to catch the attention of local agency employees who may not have had previous opportunities for sustainable agriculture training.
Outreach and Publications
Participants were provided with a 194-page resource notebook, 108 pages of which were contributed by participating agencies and were focused on topics covered in one or more of the training sessions. Tabs within this section were: Nutrient and Manure Management, Deep-bedded Systems, Monitoring and Planning, and Community Strategies. The remaining 86 pages were general references on SARE, Iowa organizations involved in sustainable agriculture, and information resources; these materials were assembled for an earlier SARE PDP in-service in Iowa. A copy of the notebook is included with this report.
The notebook was sufficiently useful that copies were also used in two subsequent on-farm in-services that were conducted by the Iowa PDP coordinator under the auspices of Cooperative Development Services, Madison, WI.
The resource notebook contained no previously unpublished bulletins. Outreach included press releases, a flier, and the Practical Farmers of Iowa field day guide, as described earlier.
Linkages to SARE Projects
Each of the three in-services included on the program a farmer who has in the past received at least one SARE producer grant. As mentioned above, resources from an earlier SARE in-service notebook were included in the notebook for these events.
Integral to the planning and execution of these in-services was Diane Mayerfeld, Extension Program Specialist in Sustainable Agriculture and assistant to Dr. Jerald DeWitt, Iowa PDP Coordinator. DeWitt's office offered every assistance to this project.
Attendance at the in-service events is shown in the table below. In all, 114 people participated in the in-services. Whereas Extension and NRCS were to be the primary agencies taking part, the table shows that actually more personnel from the Farm Services Agency attended. When registration from Extension and NRCS was coming in slowly, organizers decided to increase the number of scholarships available to FSA and IDALS personnel and the farmers they invited. And although the organizers of these events both work for the Extension Service, actual Extension attendance was nominal.
There are at least three lessons here:
1) Promote events far ahead of time so that busy agency personnel can get them on their calendars. Promote them in ways that distinguish them from other training that staff may have had. In-house publicity within Extension, for example, did not sufficiently emphasize the uniqueness of the 'on-farm' aspect.
2) Take advantage of agency 'chain of command' to publicize and recruit for such events. First notice went to Extension personnel via email from a little-known hourly employee. Other agencies put out the word from the top of the administrative structure and more-or-less assigned personnel to attend. The unfortunate side of this is that some attendees were there simply because they were new or low in the pecking order. But the organizations at least made the necessary concessions and arrangements for their employees to attend.
3) SARE events potentially compete with each other. The week following the first two in-services, the North Central Regional SARE workshop took place in Ames, Iowa and was attended by a number of agency personnel who would have been logical candidates for the on-farm workshops. Even if competition for attendance were not a problem, the energies of organizers were in contention.
On the positive side, the process of putting together these in-services allowed Practical Farmers of Iowa to establish working relationships with NRCS, IDALS, DNR, and FSA. The relationship between PFI and Extension was further strengthened as Diane Mayerfeld, assistant to State PDP Coordinator Jerald DeWitt, worked very closely with PFI/Extension Farming Systems Coordinator Derrick Exner throughout the planning and execution phases. Both administrators and local staff of the agencies now have a better understanding of PFI, its resources and areas of interest. We in turn have been able to identify those agency staff who have a high level of interest/expertise in the topics of concern to farmers in sustainable agriculture. We now have a much better basis on which to proceed in the next phases of collaborative activity. For example, attendees will receive a special invitation to two Holistic Management training sessions that PFI and Extension will offer in March, 1999.
Human resources identified through this project have already been utilized in other training. Larry Gates, of the Minnesota DNR, and Ralph Lentz, a farmer with whom he works, were invited to conduct a workshop on grazing and water quality at the NCR SARE summer in-service after they were identified in connection with this project. Two presenters on the ag strategies of communities who spoke at the western Iowa in-service were invited by Dr. Cornelia Flora, moderator for that session, to take part in further activities.
We think that a number of 'seeds' have been planted that will support follow-up educational activities. While previous SARE PDP in-services have featured presentations by producers, these on-farm workshops further impressed on participants the complexity and importance of issues relating to environmental and economic sustainability. Many of the attending agency personnel had never seen first-hand such practices as intensive rotational grazing, agricultural utilization of municipal biosolids, hoophouse swine production, direct marketing, or organic farming. Now they have both an experience to which to refer and the names and phone numbers of farmers pursuing these systems.
These same participants will be targeted for future sustainable agriculture in-services. For example, the previously-mentioned holistic management (HM) training is being planned for late winter. That three-day course will be a logical extension of this training for the participants of these three one-day workshops.
The participants themselves were asked whether they planned to follow up on the training. Overall, 61 percent of respondents said they did plant to do so. The highest affirmative response rate was from attendees at the northeastern Iowa training (83 percent) and from NRCS staff (100 percent). Participants also were asked specifically how they planned to follow up on the training. Those raw responses are below:
SARE PDP Agency In-Service Evaluations
If you plan to follow up on the training, how?
• not sure
• I would like to get more information on either Holistic Agriculture or Strategic Management through Extension.
• John put me on the mailing list for the N'East IA Demo Project
• Will continue to work with graziers and refinement of nutrient management with the use of manure as an important component.
• follow up on the written materials
• I will study the materials handed out and consider any ideas on alternative agriculture more openly.
• Personal contacts with most of the farmers who talked.
• at this point
• personal contacts
• Would like to see more going on in our area with interactions among farmers.
• personal contact
• Incorporate aspects into public presentations and in an urban/rural WS project (Clear Creek WS-Johnson County)
• Continuing education thru ISU and research.
• written materials, personal contacts, Internet
• Will share with others as feasible.
• My area is swine nutrition. I want to be aware of the practical farmers activities, but not deeply.
• Trying to read and see as much as possible.
• Probably through written materials. Maybe attend other PFI meetings in home county.
Quantitative and qualitative responses to the workshops are attached. Overall, 46 percent of respondents rated the workshop they attended as good, 50 percent rated it as excellent, and 4 percent rated it superior. Because the number of evaluations recovered was not large (n=28), comparisons among responding groups must be made with caution. It may be noted that the 'superior' responses came from the western Iowa field day at Madsens' and Rosmanns', and that all those responses were from attendees other than agency staff.
The attached evaluation responses are selections from the full set, but they are representative of the themes and sentiments expressed. In general, people said that they appreciated both the technical information and the opportunity to learn from farmers on farms. Only one respondent was consistently negative in his comments.
As organizers, we learned a great deal about designing and implementing training of this nature. Lessons learned about intra-agency publicity have been presented above. In one-day in-services, the challenge for organizers is getting participants participating. This is apparently especially a challenge when people come together from different agencies, an arrangement that is not customary for them. With some notable exceptions, agency personnel were more 'passive' than the producers who attended these sessions. Below are organizers' notes regarding how to handle this tendency:
a. Interaction is the challenge. Inter-agency may be even worse than agency in-services for people unwilling to step out of their comfort zones.
i. Use farmer presenters or farmer-scientist co-presenters, especially early, to set the tone for the program. Do not use scientists alone or other 'talking head' sessions. Farmers are better at breaking the audience out of their accustomed mindsets. Capitalize on your strengths rather than try to emulate the university.
ii. Use exercises to get people communicating. Maybe small group, team-building exercises. Continue this activity over lunch so that people don't revert to their old cohort groups.
iii. Instead of relying on spontaneous discussion, be ready with a 'lesson plan' for each session consisting of questions to put to the audience. Even for sessions with an invited moderator, this may be necessary to place the session in the context of the day's themes.
b. Co-moderating takes pressure off any single individual. However, if co-moderators divide up the day's sessions among them, give each a few minutes at the beginning of the day so that each is identified as a leader.
c. Reserve an 'active' session such as field tour for after lunch, when people get drowsy.
d. Determine the focus 'problems' ahead of time with the host farmer, then give people time in mixed small groups to formulate solutions. This will also allow participants to show that they can be useful.
The three sessions probably varied in quality with our ability to overcome these hurdles to participation. Success was a function of our increasing experience, program design, and the presence of key agency participants whose excitement and active involvement communicated to the rest of their peers. In one-day sessions it is always difficult to get people 'out of the box' without devoting the entire day to 'process.' Strategic use of farmer presenters, agency 'spark plugs,' and an explicitly formulated lesson plan may all help ensure that the material is covered and participation is maximized. Quick, problem-oriented, team-building exercises could also be integrated into the program to advance both the technical agenda and the level of interaction.
It is a challenge to hold inter-agency in-services that are participatory. Nevertheless, issues around sustainable agriculture are often of a complexity that demands 'active participation' of both the head and the emotions. To be useful in this arena, agency personnel must be able to set aside their customary programmatic modes and their professional-client distance and interact with farmers and other ag professionals. This project represented one effort to make this sort of experience available in Iowa. More are needed. They may benefit to some degree from the relationships cultivated through this project and the lessons learned by the organizers.


text: Background The severe deficit of health care workers in Uganda necessitates hospitalized patients to be cared for by a relative. These informal caregivers constitute a crucial component of patient care. Mulago Hospital in Kampala, Uganda, is one of the nation's national referral hospitals, receiving very sick patients. Although studies have been conducted on challenges facing informal caregivers in the home setting, no study has addressed the caregiver burden in the hospital setting. Methods A survey of 100 randomly selected informal caregivers was conducted in Mulago Hospital's internal medicine wards to evaluate informal caregivers' demographics, impact on patient care, and challenges. Results Challenges include emotional burdens, lack of sanitation, accommodation, sufficient health workers, finances, and recognition. Recommendations were given to ensure improve informal caregivers' situations. Conclusions Despite hardships, informal caregivers recognize the importance of familial presence, thereby setting a new standard for patient care by recreating the comfort of home care in the hospital. Studying the characteristics of these care givers and more fully delineating the sacrifices they make and the challenges they faced provides the basis for a series of recommendations to hospital management aimed both at improved patient care and care of the informal caregiver.

“So, I did a thing 🤗” The actress states in an Instagram post on Friday revealing a gorgeous new do’. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy. It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new.” All smiles and a pop of red lipstick, Union looked stunning as she showed off her TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro) revealing her natural curls. This is not the first time Union has let us into her natural hair journey.
In an interview with People magazine in February, Union-Wade shared that she has not always embraced her hair solely because of the messages society sent to women, particularly black women. “When I was younger, I hated everything about [my hair]. I wanted it to be anything but what it was,” Union said. She later added, “I was inundated with images and messages saying, ‘You’re just not as pretty as so-and-so.’” She states .“The images that I saw on TV and in magazines and film reaffirmed what they were saying,” she continued. “That I wasn’t ‘it,’ and people who look like me aren’t ‘it.’ You couldn’t possibly have that ‘it factor’ and have hair like mine or skin like mine.” She finished affirming that she is clearing over that notion and way of thinking. “I marvel at my hair’s strength and all of the diversity of looks and styles that I can achieve she said. “I literally transform into anything.”
Gabrielle is just the latest celeb to reveal shedding and cutting off her hair. Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith also cut off and shed all their hair and actress Yolanda Ross shaved hers for her character on The Chi who suffered from breast cancer. The images shown buy these women reveal to young girls that it is ok to wear your short natural hair. Be it because of hair loss and damage or getting rid of the stress of the day to day in “What am I going to do with my hair today” or Just something different a new look. We must admit we are inspired. See Gabrielle’s Hair transformation with her hairstylist Larry Sims HERE.
