Every person should understand, it is possible to urgently take out a loan with a bad credit history. Let’s figure out what is a bad credit history?
This is information on the promptitude in loan payments. That is, if you received money in debt, but repaid the amount on time, within the time specified in the loan agreement, then your credit score will not be spoiled. If there have been delays, this may be displayed in the your credit report.
This is information about your reliability. Financial institutions, including payday lenders, need guarantees about the client’s reliability. There are cases when borrowers treat their obligations in badly and do not pay the loan at all.
This is information about your capabilities. If your credit rating is low, it means that you simply do not have enough resources to pay it back and the financial institution should not put its finances in danger.
As you can see, there are several nuances that you should pay attention to if you want to select and take out loans for bad credit in CT, but are not sure about your credit reputation.
How short-term loans affect credit history?
The impact of small loans on credit history does not differ from that in the case of bank lending. Since all transactions are registered in the credit bureau, data on the borrower’s payment discipline are entered into the general history along with any other types of official debts to creditors.
Timely or early repayment of debts to online lenders contributes to the improvement of credit history. Considering the application, representatives of banks first look at the debts of recent years, and only then — at the debts that were long ago.
Overdue payments, uncovered debts, on the contrary, worsen your credit score. After all, MFIs, as a rule, issue loans $100-$5,000. And if a person cannot repay an amount equal to a monthly salary on time, it means that he cannot be trusted with a greater loan amount.
How to improve credit history with payday loans?
The fact that financial transactions in MFIs are registered in the credit history can be turned to your advantage. These institutions do not issue millions of dollars, do not work with long-term loans, and the interest rate in them is higher than the bank rate. These factors contribute to a more loyal attitude towards the borrower, reduce the thoroughness of the audit.
The payday lender will see your credit history, but even if it turns out to be bad, the chances of issuing a loan in CT will remain high. It will be possible to borrow a limited loan amount and with an unsatisfactory rating. Refusal is likely only in very neglected cases, if a person has an overdue large loan, or a rating of near zero. In most cases, the online lender will “close its eyes” to poor indicators and give the necessary amount on a short-term basis.
If you have a bad crdit history, banks refuse to issue a loan, you can use MFIs to raise your credit rating. Try to borrow a small amount ($100-$500), for up to 30 days, and return it on time. This will add a positive entry to your credit report. Later, repeat again, increasing the amount. Several operations of this kind will contribute to improving the financial reputation.
Using loans from MFIs to improve the credit rating, it is important not to abuse the opportunity. Too frequent (more often than once every 1-2 months) appeals, parallel submission of applications to a dozen organizations, a lot of loans for small amounts, sometimes work in the opposite direction. When you need a loan for a much greater amount, the bank will look at the credit report, and will see a lot of frequent small loans. As a result, employees may get the impression that you are constantly short of money, even small amounts.

Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form and balance and dates back to the 7th century, seems to be having a moment. The style, which translates as “way of flowers,” instructs its devoted practitioners to follow strict rules: first, to use only seasonal greenery and flowers in all arrangements, and second, to create floral landscapes that convey feelings and emotions about life. Ikebana is, indeed, rooted in a spiritual way to look at flowers.
In the past, ikebana, which has style-specific schools—including Ikenobo, Sogetsu, Ryusei-ha and Ohara—wasn’t as embraced by mainstream florists because it tends to be quite minimalist. “The idea is to see the water in the vase, have lots of air in the arrangement and be respectful of this moment of time seasonally,” explains Holly Carlisle, owner of Rosegolden, a floral design studio in Birmingham, Ala. “It’s not the British-styled lush arrangements.
Cultural undercurrents are certainly contributing to ikebana’s uptick in serendipity. Not only do many consumers prefer a modern home design approach—thank you, RH (you know, the rebrand name of Restoration Hardware)—but because of the pandemic, people are caring about philosophy and calm, two pillars of ikebana design. Furthermore, the seasonal-only demands of ikebana also resonates with the sustainability movement, adding to its popularity.
“Minimal arrangement is extremely dynamic and takes an incredible amount of thought and harmonious intention,” says Carlisle.
So, what are the elements of an ikebana arrangement? This is a sore subject to many practitioners, who insist that schooling is required before claiming an expertise. That said, following are elements to think about.
Ikebana asks artists to incorporate flowers that represent the cycles of life—past, present and future. Or, as Beverly Hashimoto, president of Ikebana International New York Chapter #7, corrects me, “yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
In the arrangement by Marie Jeanne Lemarquis, from the Sogetsu discipline, which is more avant-garde, the Clematis stamens survive representing the past. “A bud that has not bloomed can represent the future,” adds Hashimoto. Obviously, the present is a flower that is in full bloom.
Hashimoto’s arrangement uses dried Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower) seed heads to represent the past of summer. Because the arrangement is a glorious look to fall, Hashimoto used mums and cockscomb Celosia in autumnal hues. “Instead of greenery, I used burning-bush Euonymus, various maples and a persimmon branch,” she explains.
Another important element of ikebana is its focus on vertical heights as part of its messaging. In ancient Japan, there would be small alcoves in homes that were ideal for these styled flower arrangements, which are what started this focus.
Nature must always be a focal point. “Emptiness also has its beauty,” explains Noritaka Noda, a master practitioner of Ikenobo, the most classic and oldest school under the ikebana umbrella. “A branch that extends beyond the horizon expresses continuity.”
Then, there is the debate over the use of wire in ikebana arrangements. Some ikebana disciplines/schools, such as Sogetsu and Ryusei-ha, allow the use wire to create an art form while others, including Ikenobo, forbid its use or, at the very least, require that it be hidden.
Another lesson to learn from ikebana philosophy is that one doesn’t need many flowers to create beauty. Often, with just four or five flowers, one can create something memorable. Ingrid Carozzi, owner of Tin Can Studios, a floral design firm in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., and author of Flowers by Design, incorporated an ikebana arrangement in her book.
“Ikebana-inspired arrangements are wonderful because they can fill a table without using too many flowers,” Carozzi says. “The varying heights in this style of flower arrangement also allows each individual bloom to shine.”
Last, but not least, ikebana teaches to value not only the flower in full bloom but also the one in decay. If a petal happens to fall into the water, then so be it. It’s part of the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi—that there is beauty in impermanence and imperfection—and even decay, since it is a cycle of life.
Of course, in ikebana flower arranging, imperfection is assembled in harmonious ways to look perfectly lovely.

My lovely 8 month old black lab Layla was just recently diagnosed with OCD or Osteochondritis Dissecans in both of her ankles (hocks?). She has a flap and lesion in one and a lesion in her second. She's been limping on the one with the flap and it was recommended to us that she undergo surgery on both legs as soon as possible. We got two opinions on this from local vets and they both said surgery if affordable will likely solve the problem and for the most part allow Layla to have a normal life. It will however increase her possibility of getting arthritis later in her life.
Does anyone have any experience with this disease? Is surgery an option or are there non surgical remedies that may be more beneficial. Layal is far from overweight. She weighs only 47 pounds at 8 months and has a perfect build. She's on a diet of Pro Plan puppy Large Breed formula.
Any information would be helpful.
If you google canine OCD you wil get alot of links with some good info... I am waiting to see if my one year old has OCD of the knee....sorry no advice, but I think arthritis will set in with or without surgery. Prayers for your pup.
I have a dog that had surgery of the hock for OCD. I probably would have waited though. Rookie's surgery was successful, but he still has bad days if he plays too hard, he comes up lame. I would really recommend you spending time with an orthopedic vet before you rush into surgery. If I had it to do over again, I would also have gone right into physical therapy and not have waited 6 weeks post op. Rookie lost a lot of muscle mass because of it.
Keep her on the lean side and start supplementing her with vitamin c for swelling, glucosimine/chondrointin for the joints.

Hang in there. My 10 month old puppy just received a very similar diagnosis yesterday. He underwent double shoulder surgery today. He has OCD in both shoulders with one flap floating in the joint. I didn't really have a choice, he had to have the surgery to not be in pain. I don't have a lot of advice because, well, I am in the same boat as you. I have read and have been told that with shoulder surgery they can make a remarkable recovery. Everything in me is banking that he will be able to live a normal, happy pain free life. Best wishes to you and your pup.

There’s just something about cooler months that makes me crave the warmth and creaminess of a chai latte. That’s why I like to keep a jar of instant chai latte powder mix in my pantry.
All you have to do to make a chai latte is stir a couple scoops into a mug of hot water. That’s it.
Don’t get me wrong, one of my favorite ways to make a chai latte at home is by combining steamed milk and homemade chai concentrate.
And if you know me, I’m also a bit partial to a hot Starbucks chai latte.
As far as I’m concerned, their chai has just the right amount of ginger and warm chai spices like cardamom, cloves and cinnamon.
But the truth of the matter is, sometimes I run out of chai concentrate and other times I just don’t feel like making the trip to Starbucks.
That’s why I love this simple recipe for chai latte powder mix.
Plus, when you package some in a nice jar, it makes a terrific gift.
What is Chai Latte Powder?
Perhaps you’ve seen recipes for Chai Powder or Chai Spice Mix. While similar to Chai Latte Powder Mix, there’s a big difference.
Chai Spice Mix recipes are simply a mixture of spices like cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Often, this mix is used for cooking and to sprinkle on top of food and drinks.
On the other hand, Chai Latte Powder is a mixture of chai spices as well instant tea, powdered milk and sweetener.
4 Components of a Chai Latte
- Chai Spices
- Black Tea
Therefore, since the chai latte powder mixture contains all four components of a chai latte, all you have to do to make an instant latte, is add hot water.
Common Chai Spices
The combination of spicy and sweet is what makes a chai drink special in my opinion. But do you know what spices are commonly found in chai?
Typically, the spices combined to make a chai blend include cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and black peppercorns.
But chai isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of tea. You can easily add or delete spices according to individual taste preferences.
For example, other spices used to make a chai tea blend are nutmeg, star anise, allspice and fennel.
If you take a look at how I make masala chai from scratch, you can see the whole spices I use to make this absolutely delicious tea from India.
When you have a few extra minutes to steep some chai spices and black tea in water and milk, I highly recommend trying my masala chai recipe. You won’t be disappointed.
As you can see, there’s a variety of spices you can make chai powder with. So feel free to customize your mix according to your favorite flavors.
Chai Tea Latte Mix in a Jar
What’s more, powdered chai latte mix makes a terrific mason jar gift.
Just fill a jar up with the chai latte blend and perhaps decorate it with a ribbon and label.
Most importantly, be sure to include an instruction tag with directions on how to make a cup full of chai latte using the mix.
Another of my favorite tea mixes in a jar to give to friends and family is Friendship Tea. If you don’t know it by this name, you may have heard it called, “Spiced Tea Mix with Tang.”
No matter its name, Friendship Tea is a sweet and spicy orange tea mixture that also makes a fun and tasty gift.
How to Make Powdered Chai Latte Mix
Making a batch of chai latte powder could not be easier.
Literally, the part that takes the most time is going to the grocery store and gathering up the ingredients.
Chai Latte Powder Recipe Ingredients
- Instant Tea
- Powdered Milk
- Powdered Creamer
- Granulated Sugar
- Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Cloves
- Ground Cardamom
- Ground Ginger
Once you have everything you need to make the chai latte powder, it only takes two steps to prepare.
Step 1: Combine all the ingredients
Obviously, all of the ingredients are dry–powders and spices. So grab a bowl and measure everything into it.
Next, stir the mixture to combine.
Keep in mind, this recipe is real easy to multiply if you’re so inclined.
Step 2: Blend mixture
I like to blend the mixture and turn it into a fine powder so it dissolves easily when mixing up a chai latte.
While this step isn’t entirely necessary, I do highly recommend it.
Not to mention, the instant iced tea crystals seem to separate from the rest of the powders and spices. When it’s powdered all the ingredients stay well blended.
Therefore, to turn the chai latte mix into a powder, simply run it through a blender or food processor.
Vanilla Chai Latte Mix
To make powdered vanilla chai latte mix, simply substitute the coffee creamer with a french vanilla-flavored creamer.
Another option is to add some vanilla powder (not vanilla extract). This is usually located in the grocery store’s baking and spice aisle.
Chai Latte Powder Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups instant tea
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Measure and combine all ingredients in a bowl.
- Add mix to a blender or food processor, 1 cup at a time, and blend or process for a few seconds until the chai latte mix becomes a powder.
- Scoop mix in jars to store or to give as gifts.
- To serve, scoop 1-2 tablespoons of chai latte mix into a cup per cup of water. Pour boiling water over mix and stir well.
While blending the mix isn't necessary, it's recommended to do so since the powder dissolves more easily in boiling water and the tea, milk powders and spices will not separate in the jar.

The Truth Commission
By Susan Juby
Rating: 4/5 Stairs
First up, I will state the obvious – this is not a mystery story. While mysteries are my favorite genre, I do venture outside the norm occasionally and experience something else. That being said, the non-mysteries I find myself attracted to typically have some kind of mystery element going on within their pages. The Truth Commission is one of these.
The book started out a bit slow. Normandy is setting the scene. It turns out the novel in your hands is a piece of “creative nonfiction” that Normandy is writing as a project for her junior year of high school. In the beginning there were a lot of footnotes, which I found distracting. The YA reader (to whom this book is geared towards) may not. Besides the amount of footnotes – which do lessen as the chapters go on – I liked the perspective of the book and the way the story is told through her project.
Normandy and her two best friends (Neil and Dusk) form the Truth Commission, whose mission is to ask someone a question and get an honest answer. Now when they begin to ask questions my first thought was, this is going to be a book about gossip, people get hurt, lessons learned, etc., etc., etc. Then I hit upon the following:
“We’re not gossiping,” I said. “Asking people the truth is a spiritual practice.”
Mr. Thomas’s broad face became serious. “I must have got that wrong. I thought that spiritual practice involved asking yourself the truth.”
And at this point, the novel changes. Normandy has got some hard questions to ask herself about the truths going on in her life. The main piece of that involves her sister, who has mysteriously returned home from college with a secret that she’s not sharing with anyone. Except for those bits and pieces she tosses out on evening visits to Normandy. Who knows something really bad is going on. (Armchair detectives, cue the mystery music! Dun, dun, dun.)
Once Normandy turns the questions and the truth discovery onto herself, things really start to get interesting. As Oscar Wilde says in one of my favorite plays The Importance of Being Earnest, “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” As Normandy begins to peel the onion away to get to her sister’s truth, she discovers how accurate Mr. Wilde’s statement is.
This was a fun young adult novel with interesting characters. Not everything ties up neatly into a bow at the end, which felt right.
Thanks to the First to Read program for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The quote in this post comes from the copy I received, which was uncorrected text.

It’s not just that we test more than any other independent seed company in our region. It’s that we test again and again and again. It’s called “replicated testing,” and it’s a much more accurate and meaningful way to test seed.
Providing the ground is good, any seed can do well in a traditional strip plot. Problem is, ground can vary – even in the same field. And, so, to minimize that variation, we do replicated testing. And lots of it. The result is the most accurate data to use to select the best seed.

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was a civil rights organization that consisted of mainly African-Americans and was closely connected to its founder, Martin Luther King Junior. This organization played a very significant role in the American civil rights by enforcing peaceful direct action to stop the legal and social discernment against the black Americans. The organization through the support of their very powerful leader Luther King Junior organized and funded a lot of demonstrations in the 1950s and 1960s. Although the organization lost its impact after the assassination of the King in 1968, the SCLC did not stop its operations but continued working to better the lives of African Americans.
The SCLC arose back in 1955 after black Americans in Montgomery, Alabama successfully boycotted bus services which led to the United States Supreme Court upholding the integration of those buses (Fairclough, Adam (85). An African American social activist Bayard Rustin who desired to carry the Montgomery win to the South prodded Martin Luther and his team to form the Southern Negro Leaders Conference in 1957 during a meeting in Atlanta. Since the King had gained popularity as a leader of Montgomery Improvement Association, he was given the role to lead this organization as well which was the precursor of the SCLC. The SCLC looked forward to carrying out Gandhi an, peaceful direct action protest matches all over the South hoping that they will bring to the end racial discrimination, voting right be granted to the blacks among other advantages. They also wanted to transfer the civil rights proceedings from the court chambers to the society wishing to talk directly to the white Americans to end the racism and bring about social changes. The first action before the protest was to lead a prayer journey to Washington, D.C in 1957 that attracted more than 25 thousand people. In 1959, it planned a protest march to the Washington D.C that was attended by an approximated fifty thousand youths.
Though SCLC was having very successful protests but it was in a weak position due to the poor organization during its first years. It had challenges trying to achieve its objectives, especially in voter registration. Its success began to show later in the 1960s after they hired leaders like Andrew J. Young and Bishop Wyatt T. Walker. The organization continued to recruit more members of staff and they had improved from five to sixty-five staff members between 1960 and 1964, and the union influence on the civil rights movement reached its peak. The SCLC's advancements gave it the chance to organize historic demonstrations that played an essential duty in the public rights movement.
The organization in 1963 led demonstrations and boycotts in Birmingham, Alabama, that aimed at ending the police brutality. During the protests, those watching televisions in the United States were shocked to witness how the police brutally engaged very peaceful protestors which led to many questions among States residents. SCLC was able to win the people's sympathy nationwide which motivated them to carry out another civil right demonstration in Selma in 1965 where the police still directed violence to the non-violent protestors; this attracted a very violent demonstration response from the whites. These demonstrations are widely accredited with quickening the signing of the 1964 civil rights act, the voting rights act in 1965 as well as laws that finally allowed the black Americans freedoms they had been wishing for.
In the mid-1960s, SCLC members and other African Americans started to doubt whether the ongoing peaceful direct action would ever bring about the required changes in their society. Some major civil rights organizations like the student nonviolent organizing committee and the assembly of racial equality went ahead and publicly announced that SCLC will no longer hold nonviolent protests. They cried against the poverty and the racial discrimination the African Americans were going through in the northern cities, they claimed that whatever the SCLC was doing did not help in the urban ghetto. Luther King and his members of staff were very thoughtful of such condemnation; they immediately diverted their attention to the northern regions and by 1967, they had launched several new organizations there. These Civil rights movements included the Chicago Freedom Movement, Poor People's Campaign and the Operation Bread-basket. These movements were led by young leaders like theology student leader called Jesse Jackson.
SCLC was interested in addressing the poverty that was affecting the black Americans in the inner city ghettoes. They were worried that African Americans violence in the inner cities was losing control and they accused poverty as the root cause. Most of the residents had turned into crime as a way of meeting their basic wants since blacks were not allowed in the white companies. SCLC thought by creating jobs they would solve the problems and improve their lives as well. It was lack of jobs and poverty in ghettoes that forced many blacks to join radical movements whose main objective were to get rid of the government leaders while the SCLC acted as the main support. The assassination of the King in 1968 was a major blow to the organization because he was the SCLC.
Southern Christian Leadership Conference civil right movement under the leadership of Martin Luther King Junior has a lot of everlasting importance to the African Americans and the United States as well. The big March to the Washington where King gave his ?I have a dream'speech was a very significant occasion as it put pressure on the government to change some laws. In his speech, he expressed his desires that racial discrimination would end in the nation making it free for the Blacks to mix freely with Whites and both have equal rights too (Garrow, D. J (45-51). He wanted a country where children were not judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character. After the assassination of President Kennedy, Johnson took over the leadership and passed the civil rights bill. During this time the King was still the president of SCLC so it was a victory enjoyed by the whole movement not him alone. Up to date, African Americans enjoy same rights as the whites without any violence or discrimination.
Back in 1962, SCLC diverted its focus from just fighting racism to campaigning against the issues of economic inequality. The organization believed that poverty was the main cause of social discrimination and they created the Operation Breadbasket that was based in Atlanta to create employment to the African American (Chong, Dennis (90). This program began to spread to other areas like Chicago in 1996 which made it gain popularity. After one year, another program called the poor people's campaign was created mainly to bring many poor people together so they can march to Washington and ask for federal legislation that would provide income, jobs as well as houses for the discriminated people of all ethnicities. After the King was assassinated, the new president Ralph Abernathy led a group of people who camped for 11 days outside Washington D.C. all these were attained after the civil rights were passed by President Johnson who took over after the death of Kennedy.
Another accomplishment by the SCLC was after the pressured they issued to the government until the Black were allowed to take part in the voting exercise. They held a campaign called the crusade for citizenship that was sparked by civil rights bill pending in the Congress. The campaign main goal was to register many marginalized voters before the 1960 the voting year; they also took the chance to educate potential voters. SCLC was still joined by other civil rights movements in their campaigns in the south, most particularly in Georgia, Selma, Florida, and Albany. The conspicuousness of SCLC fight for rights led to the passage of the voting rights act in the year 1965. Its president Martin Luther King made America a proud nation with his leadership skills and sacrificing so much for the people. He created the American dream which everybody wishes to achieve and there is even a national holiday named after him.

Military personnel will be assigned to help vaccinate elderly Australians in aged care facilities in mainly regional and remote areas.
ADF doctors and nurses will undergo training this week.

It’s unclear if Sam is the first Bachelor franchise alumni to get the first COVID-19 vaccination injection.
It’s possible other stars, like those who work in the medical sector, could have also had the jab.

On track: Scott Morrison (pictured) announced a Covid-19 milestone on Sunday, February 28, when 30,000 doses of the AstraZenaca version land in Sydney for batch testing
The first 30,000 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine landed in Sydney on Sunday, February 28.
Australia’s medical regulator will be batch testing the first doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine this week with the aim of rolling it out from March 8.
Bio-tech giant CSL will manufacture 50 million doses of this vaccine which most Australians will receive.
Australia started its vaccine program last month with the first injections of the Pfizer vaccine.
Almost 30,000 Australians had been vaccinated in its first week, including 8110 aged care and disability residents throughout 117 care facilities.
Everything Aussies need to know about the vaccine roll out
* What about Australians under the age of 16?
The Pfizer vaccination approval does not cover people under the age of 16, but it has no upper age limit. The medical regulator says the benefits of the vaccination for people over the age of 85, or those who are frail, should be weighed against potential risk of even a mild response.
Age limits for the AstraZeneca vaccination will be outlined in the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s approval.
* How many do we get?
Both vaccines are two doses – so Australians will get two at least 21 days apart. They will need to be from the same company.
* Where will they be administered?
General practitioners and pharmacies have put their hand up to be involved, and there’s expected to be pop-up clinics at current COVID-19 testing centres and hospitals.
* How can Australians prove they’ve been vaccinated?
Jabs will be recorded on the Australian Immunisation Register. Certificates proving vaccinations will then be available either digitally or in hard copy. The government says this might be needed for interstate and overseas travel.
* How many vaccines has Australia ordered?
Australia has secured more than 150 million doses of various vaccines, including almost 54 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, with the vast majority to be manufactured in Melbourne. As well as more than 51 million from Novavax.
WHICH VACCINES AUSTRALIA HAS SECURED:
20 million doses – enough to vaccinate 10 million Australians
Australia has ordered 51 million doses but it is still in the trial phase
University of Oxford:
53.8 million doses
The Australian Government has joined the COVAX Facility as part of a global effort to support rapid, fair and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines. This participation enables us to purchase vaccine doses for Australia as they become available
This includes the Moderna vaccine, CureVac, Inovio and others
University of Queensland:
Australia had ordered 51 million doses. However, the deal has been scrapped after trial participants returned false positive results for HIV

There has been a lot for the Tampa Bay Rowdies to forget lately.
A long losing streak. The firing of a coach and general manager. Last place.
Finally, the Rowdies found something to remember Saturday night.
The Rowdies upset a strong New York Cosmos team, 2-0, on Saturday night, giving new coach Stuart Campbell his first victory in America. Campbell, an Englishman, won as interim manager of Bristol in his native country before joining the Rowdies four years ago.
Tampa Bay celebrated its 40th anniversary during the game.
Tampa Bay has rediscovered a level of energy under Stuart, coming from behind in the closing minutes to earn a draw with Edmonton last week. In three weeks, the Rowdies have played the top three teams in the league.
The win allowed the Rowdies to pass Fort Lauderdale and move into fourth place in the NASL Combined Standings. The Rowdies are now three points ahead of Fort Lauderdale with nine matches remaining.
“It’s a very tough game because New York came in on a great run of form and they’re a great team with great players,” Campbell said. “We worked hard this week in training and the players have done everything the coaching staff has asked of them. They brought that onto the pitch tonight.”
The Rowdies got goals by Corey Hertzog (40th minute) and Darwin Espinal (76th minute) to lead to their win. The Rowdies did not convert other scoring opportunities.
“I’d have been a bit more relaxed on the bench (if we had converted a couple more chances),” Campbell said. “The Cosmos just keep going and they’ve scored so many late goals to get numerous points late on. 2-0 is a tricky scoreline and we kept creating chances, but couldn’t get the third goal. We’d have taken 2-0 before the game.”
The Rowdies travel to FC Edmonton next week.

Importance of Cleaning up Leaves
The trees are dropping their leaves and it is important to prevent a heavy layer of leaves from building-up on your turf before winter. Heavy layers of tree leaves that shade the grass can smother and kill grass yet this fall. Plus tree leaf cover favors snow mold, which should still be fresh in our mind from last year's damage. If you choose not to compost them on site, the easiest way to dispose of leaves is to simply mow them in to the turf.
Cool-season turfgrasses require mowing well in to the fall anyway, so regular mowing during the fall will chop the leaves in to small pieces and allow them to filter in to the turf. Research at Purdue and other Midwestern universities shows that tree leaves can be mulched without any detrimental effects on the soil or turf. Actually, just the opposite may be true where tree leaf mulching may help improve the soil and/ or turf.
Not only is mulching leaves with a mower much easier than raking, blowing, and/ or vacuuming the leaves like we have done in the past, other benefits include:
- Minimizes waste in landfills.
- Reduces municipal costs for leaf pick-up and disposal.
- Improved water infiltration in to the soil.
- Helps reduce a source of phosphorus in our surface waters. A number of studies reported total P in urban runoff is highest in fall at the time of leaf drop. Tree leaves moved to the streets could leach phosphorus, which could move in to the storm drains and eventually in to rivers and streams. Keeping them on the turf will allow for better absorption of leached phosphorus.
- May help reduce broadleaf weeds on very low maintenance areas.

empty tomb, resurrection of Jesus, early eyewitnesses, 1 Corinthians 15, bodily resurrection, naturalistic theories
While several historical facts surrounding Jesus’ bodily resurrection find agreement among virtually all critical scholars, the fact of the empty tomb finds far less critical agreement. Despite this attempt to “leave the door open” for naturalistic explanations of the early Christian resurrection claim, the overwhelming evidence renders the empty tomb tradition historically reliable and Jesus’ bodily resurrection, the most plausible explanation of the historical facts. This paper will examine the evidence for the empty tomb, including the early eyewitness nature of the core tradition and the necessity of the empty tomb to explain the more widely accepted facts surrounding Jesus’ resurrection.

text: Spoiler Alert! Ferals, by Jacob Grey, is a book where some of the characters have the ability to talk and control a certain species of animal. The main character, Caw, can control crows. The way one gets these powers, is that the parent who had that power dies. While Caw’s mom was the crow talker/feral, the Spinning Man was at large killing all ferals who didn’t join him. The Spinning Man as you might have already guessed is the spider feral. His followers are Jawbone, Mamba and Scuttles who talk to dogs, snakes and roaches. During the Dark Summer, these bad ferals were on their killing spree. At last, the fox talker killed the Spinning Man and things settled back in. Caw is accompanied by a few crows. But only Milky, the blind white crow, stayed with him for all of his life. Caw meets a girl called Lydia. She and her dad were trying to stop the Spinning Man’s followers from jailbreaking. Lydia and Caw become very good friends but Lydia’s parents disapprove of their friendship. After a while, Caw and Lydia end up going to the library and talk to the librarian. She agrees to help them find out more about a drawing of a type of spider they found. The bad ferals kill her and when Lydia and Caw arrive at the scene, the bad ferals escape. The librarian had a paper clutched in her hand which had the name Felix Quaker. Then, Caw meets Crumb and Pip after getting away from the police who show up thinking Caw had something to do with the librarian, Miss Wallace, being dead. Crumb teaches Caw to be able to control his crows a lot better because Caw insists on trying to stop the bad ferals. They then go to Quaker’s mansion and Caw actually saves his life. In return, Quaker helps train Caw and Crumb discusses myths and facts about ferals with Quaker. Caw meets other ferals that were in hiding including the fox feral who killed the Spinning Man and is also Lydia’s mother. They all go to get the Crow’s Beak and Lydia back from the bad ferals because they kidnapped her and stole the sword and left. The bad ferals were trying to bring the Spinning Man back from the dead because the Crow’s Beak can cut the veil between the land of the living and the land of the dead. Once Caw opens the veil, Lydia takes the sword and goes through the veil so that no one can cross worlds again. Caw sets of with Milky to the land of the dead and rescues Lydia from the Spinning Man. They go back and defeat the bad ferals. This book is a must read for those who love a couple of twists and face offs. I personally loved it because it is just one of the types of thrilling reads that I always am fond of.

Published June 2020
Funded by Comic Relief, this research looked to understand the impact of lockdown on women across different life stages, from young women without children to those in later life (age 70+). Women in Sport followed a group of women for a month to look in-depth at how their lives were affected, as well as running a representative survey of 100 women from across the UK. Considered alongside each other, the research shows that there were several shifts and changes in what women valued in life, and how they wanted to behave in the future post-lockdown.
The research has shown that women have been disproportionately impacted by the lockdown, especially those women with children juggling home-life, work, and schooling, and women aged 70 plus who have suffered the greatest isolation.
- 39% of women said that losing their fitness would have a long-term impact
- 25% of women were worried that getting back into the habit of exercise post lockdown would be hard
- 32% of women couldn’t prioritise doing exercise during lockdown as they had too much to do for others
But the research has also shown that lockdown has also resulted in a resetting of priorities and an increased motivation to exercise post-lockdown with 61% of women surveyed stating that they will put more effort into being fit and active after lockdown is over.
This gives sports organisations an opportunity to provide an accessible entry point to sport and exercise that draws upon the new appreciation for freedoms, nature, social connection and the importance of health as motivation. But more widely as a society, it should put pressure on how we enable women to prioritise themselves and find time to be active, through their everyday lives.

New store ‘welcome news’ for King's Lynn's shopping centre
There are hopes that a new discount retailer could help breathe life back into a part of Lynn's shopping centre.
Work has begun on a new Poundstretcher store on High Street, which is set to open on Monday, and current businesses are hopeful that it will bring more customers into that side of the town.
Amanda Arterton, owner of Artertons' in High Street, said: "I'm delighted, hopefully it will bring more people to this end of the high street.
"The more we advertise this end the better, it's got to be good for all of us."
Darren Taylor, chairman of the town's Business Improvement District (BID), said the new store was "positive and welcome news".
"We would absolutely welcome new tenants into the town," he added.
"High streets are under tremendous pressure across the country, and so I think it's positive and welcome news."
The new shop will occupy the former Sports Direct site, which relocated from 21-22 High Street to St Dominic's Square in 2016.
The store, which will be officially opened by borough mayor Nick Daubney at 10am, has created 25 new jobs in the town.
The discount retailer has invested £500,000 for the newly-designed store, which will offer a range of household items.
Area manager Martin Greenfield said: "We are pleased to be opening a brand new store to the people of King's Lynn with loads of fantastic branded products, all at bargain prices.
"The team is working hard to deliver an outstanding shopping experience, great service, and an enjoyable shopping environment for all our new customers."
To celebrate their official opening, Poundstretcher will have over £3,000 worth of store opening day only special offers, which they are expecting "huge queues" for.
Family fun is also promised, with a number of activities on offer from 10am to 4pm.

Serotoninergic control of risk taking
Risk assessment is not only an integral part of life but is also critical for survival and can be disrupted in psychiatric and neurological diseases. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of risk-based decision-making therefore holds important economic, societal, and medical benefits. However, the genetic and neural basis of risk-taking and how dysfunction may arise remains unclear.
This project aims to address this challenge by leveraging a novel risk-taking assay in the Drosophila model. With its powerful genetics, Drosophila serves as an excellent platform for investigating brain function and associated pathologies, from a molecular, subcellular, and circuit level to disease-relevant behaviour. Drosophila’s exceptional efficiency, coupled with its grossly conserved genetic and neurobiology, has yielded valuable insights into mental health disorders, including Intellectual Disability and Autism Spectrum Disorders (Coll-Tané et al., Dis Model Mech. 2019, Tian et al., Neurosci Bull. 2017).
Capitalising on a novel assay, and state-of-the-art genetic tools to manipulate and monitor neural function in Drosophila, this project aims to mechanistically dissect how motivational drives cues guide goal-directed risk-taking. By combining optogenetics with in-vivo imaging of neural activity, synaptic tracing tools and the brain connectome, we will characterise the neural circuits involved in context-dependent risk-taking. Following this, we will assess the impact of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to depression in humans, on risk-taking and its associated neural circuits. By unravelling how the brain assesses risks at a molecular, cellular, and neural circuit level, we aim to unveil fundamental principles of risk-taking that may be conserved across species.

Tyga Makes It “Haute” With Chris Brown & J Balvin
Tyga recently dropped off his new album “Legendry” and after successfully making it back into our good graces with an impressive comeback, T-Raw is riding with a lot of momentum. So far, we’ve heard a couple of songs that are expected to make it onto Legendary, including “Taste” with Offset, and a new single has just arrived with a fresh video and two noteworthy collaborations.
Tyga‘s new song “Haute” has officially arrived with features from J Balvin and his frequent collaborator Chris Brown. This cut is much like the previous singles we’ve heard from the California-based rapper. “Haute” is another strip club banger and it’s sure to go off in the summer. Imagine listening to this with the windows down on a sunny evening. It sets itself with a strong West Coast beat and enough to keep us interested throughout. As you would likely expect in the video, there’s a lot of partying and ample amounts of booty.
Additionally, Tyga is featured on “All I Want Is” off Chris’ upcoming album Indigo, which drops June 28. On Friday, Tyga dropped his new album, Legendary, which has a host of features such as Lil Wayne, Blueface, Swae Lee, Gunna, A Boogie, Offset, and Bazzi. The clip was directed by Arrad, who captures the fellas surrounded by a barrage of women while living their best life, complete with fire dancers and a cameo from Tyga’s son Cairo. All three bring a dose of their respective talents, creating something quite contagious, and one single we’ll surely be hearing a lot more of. The trio serves up a solid new single, building even more hype for Legendary in the process.
“I look at it more as a playlist, and if you want those vibes or if you want a certain vibe and summertime is really, that’s when music is at its peak, when people are looking for those vibes to go out, road trips, people graduating,” Tyga said of the songs compiled for his follow-up to KYOTO, his 2018 album that garnered quite a bit of attention off the cover art alone.
Tyga also spoke on his aforementioned early days further developing under the wings of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, noting that getting unanimous praise for versatility isn’t as important as getting feedback in general.
“I think it’s something to where it’s, like, we just want feedback,” he said. “You work hard and you wanna share the feeling with other people . . . That’s kinda, like, what excites me.”

Furnace & Heating Repair in Louisville
It’s one of those freezing winter nights in the Louisville area when the cold rain turns to snow as the temperature drops. You wake up in the middle of the night, chilled to the bone, and find out that the furnace has stopped working. Your house is freezing and getting colder by the minute. No heat. Now, what do you do?
You require immediate emergency furnace repair! Call Maeser anytime, 24/7. We know that a broken furnace is an emergency that can’t wait. There’s a reason why so many customers name our service as the best HVAC furnace repair company Louisville has to offer!
When you call Maeser, a highly skilled heating technician will arrive at your home quickly, ready to fix your heating system fast, whether it’s a gas furnace or an electric heater. We repair all brands of furnaces, including Carrier, Lennox, Bryant, American Standard, Goodman, and more.
A trusted, insured professional contractor will efficiently repair or replace your current installed furnace. Our expert furnace technicians will make sure you and your family are again warm and comfortable.
We all wish our AC or heating would never break down, but it seems to happen during the hottest/coldest times of the year. Breakdowns happen because the unit is under a lot of stress, and some old units can only take so much pressure before they malfunction.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s worth having someone come out to check your system for any problems:
Weird smell – Be aware of any odd aromas, especially if they’re more apparent when the heat comes on. It might just be dust heating up, or it can be a sign of a more significant issue, which can lead to significant repairs and costs.
Strange noises – If you’re near the system and start to hear unusual clanking sounds, this may be a warning that a belt needs replacing, and that the furnace could be failing.
Skyrocketing bill – Just like your AC, a rising energy bill for your heating might be a sign, things are getting strained in the system.
Cold zones – Is a vent open, and you’re not feeling any heat in that room? That’s not typical. The system should be designed to bring heat to the entire home. A lack of heat can be a sign of a failing heater that isn’t pushing out the same heat it used to. A repair or replacement might be necessary.
We provide you with the repair options and exact price before work begins. Once repairs are completed and the heat is on, the technician will completely clean the work area.
As always, quick emergency quality repair services are available. Give us a call!
We offer manufacturer-recommended heating and cooling system maintenance and tune-ups. Keeping your system well maintained could save you a lot of time, energy, and money in repairs. This is essential for the life of your furnace, maybe even longer than expected.
If you’d like to save 20% on your heating and air repairs, you might want to consider our 5 Star Club Plan. This plan supports you in saving money and preventing future mishaps with your HVAC system.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — All eyes will be on the backcourt battle between De’Aaron Fox and Lonzo Ball, but Derek Willis versus T.J. Leaf could be a sneaky-good matchup to watch as Kentucky and UCLA vie for an Elite Eight spot Friday night.
It’ll be the second meeting between the teams. In the first, Leaf was a breakout star for the Bruins. A 6-foot-10 freshman, Leaf had 17 points on 7 of 12 shooting and hauled in 13 rebounds in UCLA’s December win at Rupp Arena.
“He killed us on the backboard,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said Thursday. “It wasn’t just what he did, but he was more physical than we had expected. That includes our staff, too.”
More physical than Kentucky expected — better than Kentucky expected.
“I don’t want to say I took him for granted, I just didn’t know all the things he could do,” Willis said. “And he kind of surprised me in a sense.”
But Leaf wasn’t exactly under the radar. A California native, he was ranked 18th nationally in the 2016 recruiting class, according to 247Sports. He leads the Bruins with 16.2 points per game and is second on the team with 8.2 rebounds per game.
His freshman season has likely parlayed him into a first-round NBA draft pick. Leaf is projected to go No. 22 overall by Draft Express — eight spots higher than Kentucky freshman forward Bam Adebayo.
“T.J.’s a great freshman, too,” Kentucky freshman Malik Monk said. “We can’t leave him out like we did the first game.”
And while Leaf excelled, Willis far from struggled in the first matchup. He had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists against the Bruins.
Leaf remembered his forward counterpart.
“He’s really talented, can shoot the ball, can defend multiple positions,” Leaf said of Willis. “He can drive it, he’s pretty athletic. Anyone you play on their team is gonna be really talented.”
Willis will have a better idea what to expect from Leaf at 9:39 p.m. ET on Friday. Willis, the senior who isn’t expected to get drafted, guarding Leaf — the freshman future first-round pick.
And it’s the looming expiration date on his college career that motivates Willis.
“I feel like I’m more desperate now,” Willis said. “This is the last postseason in my college career. I want to make the most of it.”

A revised version of the Protect Working Musicians Act could allow independent musicians to negotiate with streaming services and developers of artificial intelligence (AI).
According to Billboard, the bill’s new version was introduced by Rep. Deborah Ross and now has a strong emphasis on the work of AI due to the rise of viral tracks like “Heart on My Sleeve,” the AI-generated song that mimicked the voices of Drake and The Weeknd. The updated bill will allow musicians to discuss “fairer rates and terms for the use of their music” with the creators behind AI-generated music, adding this to Rep. Ted Deutch’s original bill that aimed to provide independent artists with the grounds to “collectively bargain for royalty rates” with major streaming services. “The AI issue has become even more important,” Ross said, noting that musicians could possibly be considered as plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit as they “[fight] for their rights” with an attorney.
“AI threatens the creator — finding the person or entity that has co-opted your work and turned it into something else and then going after them is so onerous,” she continued. “That’s one of the reasons for this bill — to allow people to do this collaboratively. We need to do this sooner than later. We’re seeing this threat every single day.”
Jen Jacobsen of the Artist Rights Alliance collaborated with Ross for the revised bill and stated that it will “give the smaller independent more of a voice.” She added, “Our work is being scraped and ingested and exploited without us even knowing. Adding the AI platforms seemed like a relevant and important thing to do.”
“Musicians are really worried about this — not just the big-name ones, but small artists, too. Small ones, especially,” Jacobsen further stated. “The most important thing for this bill is that small, independent artists and record labels need to be recognized and have each others’ backs.”
It remains to be seen whether the House will vote or pass the bill. “As you can see in Congress, lots of bills aren’t passing — like the budget!” Ross shared. “But this has been a very bipartisan issue in the judiciary committee. It’s the perfect time to bring these issues up.”
AI has been a hot topic in the music industry as of late. Earlier this month, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. had to clarify that “Heart on My Sleeve” will not be eligible for the GRAMMY Awards after stating in a separate interview that the song is, from a creative standpoint, “absolutely eligible because it was written by a human.”
Elsewhere in music, Erykah Badu and Herbie Hancock will headline the 2023 LA3C Festival.

Yesterday, after USA today reported that the fully vaccinated comedian Chris Rock had COVID and told everyone to “Get vaccinated,” Jesse Kelly shared what he called his Sky is Green theory.
Since Jesse’s tweets automatically delete after a time, I have dutifully transcribed his Sky is Green theory for your edification. Yes, I put it in green:
The vaccinated people getting Covid and telling others to get vaccinated so they don’t get covid proves my “Sky is green theory” 1/
If you woke up tomorrow and The System decided they wanted everyone to believe the sky was green, they could do it. And in a relatively short amount of time. You laugh, but they could. 2/
Every other news story would be something about the newly discovered green sky. The entire Democratic Party would campaign on the green sky. 95% of the GOP would either go along with the green sky, or just stay silent. 3/
“Scientists” and universities relying on government grant money would put out “studies” on the green sky. Your child would have to declare it so on an exam or would be denied a degree. 4/
Movies would be made. With the sky colored green. Corporate America would have green skies in their commercials. Your favorite athlete would tell his 2 million Instagram articles about how cool the free sky is. 5/
Soon, you’d start to question yourself. You’d assume your eyes were bad. There’s no way the sky could be blue, right? After all, EVERYONE says it’s green. It must be, right? 6/
I finally get the power of propaganda. There is NOTHING you can’t convince the public of. Nothing. Coronavirus showed that to me.
You have to admit, he’s onto something here.
“Donald Trump called Nazis very fine people.”
“Women aren’t the only ones who can get pregnant.”
“Donald Trump told people to inject bleach.”
“Hands up; don’t shoot.”
“People are ingesting horse de-wormer.”
“January 6 was a violent insurrection to overthrow our democracy.”
“Mostly peaceful protests.”
“America was founded on white supremacy.”
How many of those statements are believed by at least half the country?
The coronavirus has killed 0.19% of the US population. But the majority of Americans polled recently believed the actual percentage of US deaths from COVID is more than ten times that size.
Why? Because for over a year and a half the media, politicians, Hollywood, medical “experts” – the entire System as Jesse Kelly calls it – have created an alternate reality where the sky is green. Everybody is dropping dead like flies. You aren’t safe to leave your home because you might die. You can’t send your children to school because they might die, or worse kill their teachers. You can’t operate your business because it will kill people.
And the people who believed it are now advocating that the “unvaccinated” be shunned from society. They should lose their jobs. They should be barred from receiving medical treatment. They should have their children taken away from them.
Jesse is right, COVID was the biggest example of his Sky is Green theory. But, really, so was Donald Trump’s presidency. There are still people who truly do believe that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the election from Hillary. And no amount of reality can penetrate the bubble these people are in.
Sometimes all it takes is just one person to suggest that the sky is green, and within hours, it will spread like wildfire.
In fact, just yesterday, hours after Jesse presented his Sky is Green theory that yet another example blew up – namely that border patrol agents on horseback were using whips on Haitians trying to cross the border illegally.
They weren’t using whips. The long straps in the photos are just the reins. But it didn’t matter. Within no time, reporters were repeating it, social media went into an uproar over it, and the White House released a condemnation of it.
How on earth do you break through that kind of propaganda? Especially when the people who can still see reality and know the sky is blue are vilified as the “conspiracy theorists.”
When you try to show them the sky isn’t green but blue, the deluded cover their ears and shriek “Debunked! Debunked!”
Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams calls this the “Two Movie Reality.” We all look at the same events but we interpret them in two completely different ways.
We all see a photograph of a man on horseback trying to grab a Haitian illegal. One group sees a man using a whip on a black man. The other group sees a rider holding the reins to his horse.
As Adams explained it:
That’s how cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias work. They work together to create a spontaneous hallucination that gets reinforced over time. That hallucination becomes your reality until something changes.
The sky is green.
Now, is it possible some people know the sky isn’t green, but say so anyway just to further divide us? I’d say it’s more than possible. Those who peddle propaganda know very well that they’re peddling propaganda.
I don’t think Rachel Maddow believes one thing about the Trump/Russia conspiracy theory she peddled with wild abandon. I don’t think Adam Schiff believes a bit of it either. Nor do I think Schiff believed Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s president was an impeachable act.
Cynicism is the mother’s milk of the System.
They don’t need to believe the sky is green. They just need you to believe it.

Kylie Minogue Is Her Own Make-Up Artist
The "Spinning Around" hit maker Kylie Minogue has enjoyed the luxury of make-up artists pampering her in the past but admits she has now dispensed with their services as she prefers to apply her own beauty products.
In a chat with her sister - TV talent show judge Dannii Minogue - for MyDaily.co.uk, she says, "I love doing my own make-up. My first tours, I did my own make-up because it was way beyond my reach or dreams to have a make-up artist on tour, so I would do it myself."
"And then, as we progressed, I had different make-up artists and they were lovely and they added a lot to the shows but then I reached a certain point (where I prefer to do it myself)... You know, I actually don't want it any other way, because it becomes part of the process of getting ready - the ritual, becoming that person."
Asked by Dannii if she had simply "stolen" the "tricks" she saw her make-up artists using, Minogue replied: "Er... yeah!"

Home Depot takes third shot at San Francisco store
See correction at end of article.
Home Depot has filed an application to build a new store in the Bayview District of San Francisco, the chain’s third major attempt to locate a store in the city.
The proposed store would be located on a piece industrial land at 1901 Cesar Chavez St., across from a FedEx distribution center. The parcel is currently used by the general contractor Webcor as staging for its construction of the San Francisco General Hospital.
Until 2009, the 50,000-square-foot building on the property was a printing facility for the San Francisco Chronicle that closed in 2009 when the newspaper moved to a new plant.
The 120,000-square-foot store and garden center would be built on a square site bounded by Cesar Chavez Street on the north, Marin Street on the south, Interstate 280 on the east, and Evans Street on the west.
The application comes four years after Home Depot walked away from a controversial site on Bayshore Boulevard that had taken years to entitle. That site was eventually bought by Lowe’s, which currently has a 107,000-square-foot store there.
Before the Bayshore plan, Home Depot was shot down in its efforts to construct a store on the former Schlage Lock land in Visitacion Valley.
Home Depot spokeswoman Kathryn Gallagher said that the Bayshore site fell victim to a combination of a brutal recession and an expensive design that included a three-story garage. But she said the retailer never stopped looking at sites in San Francisco.
“Of course it was disappointing having invested a decade, but we never walked away and we never have given up hope,” said Gallagher. “We have had our eyes out for the right location.”

Diseases and Enemies of Silk Worm
1. Pebrine: It is the most important disease of silk worm and once infection starts it can wipe out all the worms. It is caused by a sporozoan Nosema bombycis. The full grown caterpillar is attacked and it turns pale brown or red with black spots, becomes inactive and eventually dies. The infection spreads to successive generations through eggs of diseased moths. Therefore, eggs from healthy moths alone should be taken for rearing worms. After a moth has laid eggs, she is crushed and the body fluid is examined under the microscope for Pebrine bodies and if she is found to carry the protozoan the eggs should be rejected and destroyed.
2. Muscardine: It is a fungal disease caused by Beauveria bassiana and transmitted by spores carried by wind. All stages of caterpillar are attacked. The body of the affected larva becomes soft but get hard and acquires green colour after its death.
3. Flacherie: It is a bacterial disease and the affected worms are infected by Bacillus bombysepticus. Caterpillars in their fourth instar are usually infected. Digestion in the affected caterpillar gets disturbed and it voids foul smelling semi-solid excreta and turns lethargic and soft. Regular feeding of the larvae and maintaining good hygienic conditions will prevent the disease.
4. Grasseric: The last instar caterpillars are affected. They become swollen and look like a bag of granules, the body fluid becomes thick and clouds and they die. It is caused by nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
All the above diseases can be checked by a) careful selection of disease free eggs b) feeding with the clean and limited quantity of leaves., tender chopped leaves to young caterpillars, young full leaves to grown up ones and never the coarse mature leaves to any c) maintenance of a low temperature in the rearing rooms and d) sanitation of the rearing materials and worms themselves.
A tachinid parasitoid, Sturmia sericariae parasitizes the silk worms.
