In addition to efforts already under way in parts of the northern Plains, Alabama growers are now sowing the seeds of a new biofuel oil crop this winter. Carinata is similar to canola, a crop many producers introduced to rotations several years ago.
An oilseed crop, carinata seed is larger than millet and smaller than sorghum. Canola was grown and crushed for food-grade oils, but carinata is a non-food, biofuel oil. The remnants of carinata seed—a feed meal—will provide the livestock industry with a high value protein supplement in feed rations.
Alabama Cooperative Extension System regional agent, Christy Hicks, said there is much excitement surrounding the contracted carinata acreage in the state.
“Row crop producers are always looking for opportunities to increase productivity,” Hicks said. “Many of the growers who have contracted carinata acreage sought alternatives to solely growing winter wheat. The crop is a great addition to rotations that will allow producers to diversify their winter income.”
Dr. Jeff Klingenberg, the vice president of agronomy and plant breeding at Agrisoma Biosciences, said the company’s goal is to have carinata fit seamlessly into producers’ existing rotations.
“Carinata is a very hardy crop,” Klingenberg said. “It is more drought and cold tolerant than canola, making it a good choice for producers in many areas of the U.S. Producers will always need a crop rotation. Growing carinata allows those acres to remain in production and helps to break the pest cycle.”
Carinata is high in glucosinolic acid, a natural deterrent for nematodes and other pathogens and insects. The crop’s adaptability to different environments is also beneficial. While carinata is a cool season crop in the southern states, it is a summer crop in several Midwestern states. Klingenberg said one of the draws to carinata production is the ability for the plant to thrive in many environments, while also providing the advanced biofuels industry with a consistent feedstock supply.
Klingenberg said the oil markets are in need of a backbone source of oil for jet fuel.
“Carinata is high in erucic acid which is good for fuel and not for food consumption,” he said. “Carinata has a longer carbon chain fatty acid profile than canola, and improves efficiencies in fuel conversion processes.”
This crop differs from other oil sources in efficiency, ease of use and makeup. Carinata oil has no water separation in storage, is ready to use, has a lower freezing point—meaning higher flying for jets—and has potential to produce 50 percent less carbon emissions when used than petroleum fuel.
The numbers are encouraging, and Klingenberg said this is something his company has worked toward for many years.
“We work to supply carinata grain that meets the requirements of jet fuel, and advanced bio-diesel processors regarding levels of efficiencies that make the product worth it,” he said. “For the market to work, carinata needs the value-added factor. Carbon sequestration and the reduction of greenhouse gas exchange emissions are huge components resulting from growing carinata. These two factors bring value to the bio-renewable fuel customer, and ultimately producers.”
Beneficial Partnership with Cooperative Extension, Farmers Federation
Agrisoma’s growth model utilizes partnerships involving multiple projects with several land-grant universities and industry support to help conduct research. The southeast Agrisoma carinata program has grown from establishing projects at the University of Florida, all the way to supporting the USDA-NIFA- CAP grant recipient known as The Southeast Partnership for Advanced Renewables from Carinata (SPARC).
SPARC is a comprehensive carinata development project bringing researchers and research together from land-grant universities throughout the southeastern U.S., including Auburn University.
Auburn University researchers and Alabama Cooperative Extension System specialists are also working alongside Agrisoma and local farmers to seamlessly work carinata into Alabama rotations.
“Extension is helping us to disseminate information in order to bring the community of growers together,” Klingenberg said.
Carla Hornady, Alabama Farmers Federation Wheat and Feed Grains Division Director, said Agrisoma has put in work on the front end of the growing season meeting with producers at meetings hosted by County Federations and through Extension offices. As a result, there are farmers growing carinata this year and more who will grow it in the coming season.
“After another season with low prices, drought and struggling wheat, farmers were looking for another option,” Hornady said. “We are excited to help growers add carinata to their rotations. Both the Farmers Federation and Alabama Extension are working to help farmers diversify operations and profit at the same time.”
Alabama producers sowed carinata as they finish harvesting corn, cotton, soybeans and peanuts. There are currently between three and four thousand contracted acres in Alabama. However, there are expectations to increase acreage significantly in the 2018-2019 growing season.
Klingenberg said Agrisoma is also working to help producers develop an 18- to 24-month crop rotation calendar to maximize planting, growth, harvest time and yield returns.
For now, carinata is an export crop. The buyer for U.S.-grown carinata is in Europe. Klingenberg said once the European market has a consistent supply, and with increased American acreage, producers may be able to look forward to U.S. markets which will involve local crushing facilities and downstream processing in the southeastern U.S.

I was getting chatter off my old rotor when braking so it was time to replace. This one bolted onto my 2008 DR-Z400SM perfectly. There are cheaper ones out there but, this one looks cool and I like buying from MotoSport.
I bought this a month ago and I am very happy with it.
I picked up this rear rotor to add to my supermotarded conversion on my xr 650 and after proper bedding (with new pads of course) it has the stopping power that is well over the stock set up. Not as much as 13 inch motomaster in the front but with a supermoto, rear brakes are for getting a slight pitch into a compound radius turn
Very happy with galfer brake rotor. Had to do some adjustments to pedal. After all dialed in does its job. Plus looks way better than oem..
In need of new rotor and for the price an excellent choice. So far no fading, solid and would purchase again
Great performance and style that you would expect from Galfer.
Installation is a breeze and fits perfect. Use them on all of my bikes.
My stock rotor rubbed the brake pads real bad at one point in a rotation creating a ABS effect. Was trying to figure out if it was because the rim was little bent. Bought this galfer wave rotor and no more bad rubbing/abs effect. Perfectly straight when the tire spins. Rim still bent from a crash but one fix at a time.
Replaced a very worn out rear rotor on my Son's 2014 KTM 125sx, so far so good, he has been running this bike hard practicing for race season.

El Paso Inc. photographer Jorge Salgado was among the numerous journalists tasked with capturing the Aug. 3, 2019, mass shooting amid the chaos, confusion and emotion of the day.
“I’ll never forget these surreal moments. The fear. The chaos. Wondering what would happen next,” Salgado said.
One year later, the heartache remains. And so does the task of capturing that time in our history we will never forget.
“It’s mind blowing that a year has gone by. It still hurts and it’s fresh,” Salgado said.
Over the course of several days, Salgado covered an array of events across the borderland commemorating the first anniversary of the shooting and paying tribute to those 23 people who were killed.
Among the tributes were a healing garden, rows of luminarias and a lights display at Ascarate Park. The El Paso County Community Healing Garden featured silhouttes made of moss, dried sunflowers, zinnias, roses and more to simulate the bodies of he 23 people who were killed in the shooting. The tribute also featured 23 purple spotlights beaming high into the sky and reflecting over the lake.
You can find more photos of other memorials and events in the A Section this week, as well as online at elpasoinc.com.
“Sometimes the stories we have to tell are the ones we wish we could forget,” Salgado said. “But sharing what we see can also serve as therapy. Thank you for letting me tell these stories.”

Even though Brittany is most definitely in France, I never quite feel like I’m in the same France as the rest of the country. The people of the region seem to have a hunger for learning from new things and people around them and a generosity and warmth that Paris and more urban centers can’t touch.
Brittany is a bit like that regardless of where you go. Although I had been there before, it had been many years and Auray wasn’t one of my stops. What a hidden gem — I LOVED Auray. Of course, it didn’t hurt that we had incredibly knowledgeable guides, were able to zip around the city on a segway, had an opportunity to meet with the local mayor and attend a private organ concert at the Basilica directed by the Director of Sacred Music Bruno Belliot. (be sure to see our write up and photos on the concert).
We started our glorious day taking in the history of Saint Anne of Auray and its sanctuary with the local tourism board rep Emelie Lesper, who had a wealth of knowledge about the area. Sites to see in the historical center include the town hall, Auray Castle, Holy Saviour Church and Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel, Saint Gildas Church, The Chapel of the Holy Spirit, the prison, the Belvedere and the Loc Promenade and the Chapel of the Eternal Father.
Notice how many chapels and churches there are on that list and it’s not even complete. You could say that everywhere in France there are oodles of churches, cathedrals and bascilicas, however Auray has a very special spiritual past. As the spiritual capital of Brittany, Saint Anne of Auray has been the largest pilgrimage site in Brittany for more than four centuries, with 500,000 visitors each year.
Each year on July 25 and 26, the Great Pardon takes place and a half million people participate in spiritual celebrations, processions, vigils, masses and more. For the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela, Saint Anne of Auray is a rest stop on the way. In addition to being a spiritual retreat, there’s a rich history to the area as well. From stunning architecture and tranquil verdant gardens to museums, chapels, hamlets and churches, there’s plenty to keep you engaged for several days.
As you walk through the city, you’ll fall upon The Memorial, which is in memory of the 240,000 Bretons who died during WWI and the National and French-Belgian Cemetaries, which are home to the tombs of 2,103 soldiers. You can’t walk far in Auray without running into something on Saint Anne — her statue, made of Kersanton granite and weighing 12 tonnes, stands tall in the gardens. She appears to be worshipped by many and it’s not just the locals who recognize the numerous miracles she performed in her life.
The fountain is the first apparition of St. Anne to Nicolazic. Although she didn’t live for long, what she accomplished during her short life is said to be nothing short of miraculous. The Basilica was built in 1872 to replace the 17th century chapel built by Nicolazic and its design is said to encompass both gothic and renaissance styles.
A statue of St. Anne holding a torch stands at the top of the monument and inside the church, stained glass windows depict the apparitions, the pilgrimage, the life of St. Anne and the mysteries of the Rosary.
The centerpiece of the altar of devotion, dedicated to St. Anne, represents the lives of Anne and Joachim, and is classified as a historical monument. On the right stands a statue of Nicolazic, and on the left, a reliquary-monstrance offered by Anne of Austria and Louis XIII, in thanks to the birth of their son Louis XIV.
Why all the statues, the stained glass, the basilica, the fountain, the books and the videos? It’s hard to imagine that one person could have done so much to earn such acclaim and dedication, but if you’re religious and know your history, you know that her story runs deep.
So, who was this remarkable woman and why does she matter to so many people? St. Anne was the wife of St. Joachim (also noted above), the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She was not a catholic but a Jew, who lived in Sepphoris near Nazareth in Galilee, then in Jerusalem in Judea.
St. Anne was known for performing miracles and the cult of St. Anne grew in the East first, in the spreading of the cult of the Virgin Mary, most particularly in the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, the Nativity and the Presentation in the Temple.
St. Anne was venerated and prayed to in a significant number of places of worship, basilicas, churches and chapels over the centuries. Among these number, in Rome, the parish church of St. Anne in the Vatican, in Jerusalem, the Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupre in Quebec, in Congo in the Church of St. Anne in Brazzaville, in Asia, Burma and Ceylon. In France, the first sanctuary dedicated to St. Anne was the ancient cathedral of Apt in Vaucluse, in the 11th century.
In Brittany and particularly the Auray region, the cult of St. Anne is historically connected to the first evangelization of Armorique, in the 7th and 8th centuries. According to some theories, “Ana” was the name of a Celtic deity worshipped previously in this area, which would seem to have favoured the spreading of the cult of Mary’s Mother. The diocese of Vannes has celebrated St. Anne from as far back as the early 15th century.
St. Anne has become the patron saint of Brittany and hence the reason why she is so honored in Auray and Brittany in general. Almost all Breton churches have their statues of Saint Anne and many chapels, villages and localities are under her patronage. The Bretons, over the centuries, have introduced many religious festivals (pilgrimages) that include a dedication to St. Anne, the most important being that of Sainte-Anne d’Auray.
Whether you’re religious or spiritual but not religious or not, you’d be hard pressed not to be moved by the spiritual presence in Auray. Even those who are atheist and agnostic will likely be inspired by people’s fascination of St. Anne’s life.
Admist Auray’s borders, I found peaceful time to reflect, not because I have followed St. Anne’s life or ever done a pilgrimage to a holy place that honors saints. I find that spiritual places, whether or not there’s a direct connection to something in my life, remind me of the things that are important. In the ever so peaceful courtyard, I could be present with the history of Auray, St. Anne and her life, everything she stood for and the role she played in Brittany’s history.
Inside, candles diffused the light while adding colorful yet calming energy. Here people lit candles, paid respects and prayed. There’s a magic to the place that can’t quite be described in words, but it’s as if you know that a spiritual presence from as far back as the 6th century is in your midst.
The experience couldn’t have been more perfect. I started my day in the Basilica with a mid-day reflection break in the Basilica’s courtyard, and then visited Auray’s natural and beautiful surroundings by food and segway (be sure to read our post on Auray culture and history), before ending my evening with an organ concert at the Basilica (catch our article which includes a snippet of video of the sacred music we heard).

Wisconsin – A Housing Market That’s Looking Up
The Great Recession was not kind to Wisconsin. As recently as 2011, Wisconsin was still losing jobs – even though the rest of the country was gaining them. But in the Badger State, plummeting home values were actually more damaging than the jobs market. Those lower values led to fewer property taxes being collected between 2008 and 2012 – meaning that cities had to make due with a lot less money. In Milwaukee, home values dropped so low that the city wound up losing almost $6 billion just in property tax revenue!
What do the state’s home values look like now?
According to realtors around Wisconsin, selling prices made double-digit gains in December 2012. By the end of the year, the median sales price statewide was $132,500. That’s 10% higher than it was in December 2011.
So, what led to the dramatic turnaround?
Realtors in Wisconsin say the state saw a significant drop in foreclosures at the end of 2012, which enabled the “traditional” homes for sale here to sell for more money. And, the homes for sale in Wisconsin have started selling faster. In fact, the number of home sales in December jumped 11%, compared to the year before. That increase in demand is also helping to drive up prices—and, thus, the values of all the homes around them.
And in cash-strapped Milwaukee, the gains were even bigger!
Compared to 2011, the number of home sales in 2012 jumped a whopping 25%! The only problem? Selling prices didn’t go up in most of the counties that make up the Milwaukee metro. Typically, such a big rise in demand would cause selling prices to rise, too, but it didn’t. Realtors in Milwaukee aren’t concerned, though. They say homes are selling faster, consumer confidence is on the rise, and that will lead to future momentum.
Realtors in Dane County (where Madison is located) have even more to brag about. That’s because the number of home sales here increased 27% between the end of 2011 and the end of 2012! With nearly 6,000 homes sold throughout the year, this many contracts haven’t been signed here since 2007. And, what makes all of these sales so impressive is that the inventory in Dane County hasn’t been this low since 2004 – meaning that buyers are scooping up practically everything that’s available!
Interestingly, many of Dane County’s purchases were all-cash. In fact, only about 75% of buyers here actually applied for mortgages in Wisconsin. That’s something experts here weren’t expecting – but they’ll take the jump in sales any way they can get it!
And, hopefully, the momentum will keep up – and extend to the rest of the state!

In her exclusive statement to People magazine, Madonna also shot down rumors that she had an affair with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and was the reason for his breakup with his wife.
Madonna's publicist previously issued a similar statement of denial, however, the rumors have persisted.
"My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I brought my kids to a Yankee game. I am not romantically involved in any way with Alex Rodriguez. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may choose to study," Madonna said in her statement to People magazine. "I have learned over the years not to take accusations and the many false reports about me very seriously."
Rodriguez's wife Cynthia reportedly has blamed a rumored affair between her husband and the singer, as well as A-Rod's newfound interest in Madonna's Kabbalah spiritual beliefs, for the breakdown of her own marriage.

Equality Act Reintroduced
On March 13, Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced legislation which would make employment discrimination and other forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity unlawful.
The Equality Act of 2019 would amend existing civil rights law — including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Jury Selection and Services Act, and several laws regarding employment with the federal government — to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics. The legislation also amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination in public spaces and services and federally funded programs on the basis of sex.
For a long period following passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, federal courts uniformly held that Title VII did not prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Two U.S. Supreme Court decisions have challenged much of that prior reasoning and as a result some subsequent decisions have allowed Title VII claims to proceed where the plaintiff can demonstrate that he or she was the victim of unlawful sex discrimination in the form of gender stereotyping or sexual harassment.
Despite those decisions, the Human Rights Campaign finds that “50 percent of LGBTQ Americans live in the 30 states that still lack statewide legal non-discrimination protections, leaving their residents and visitors at risk of being fired, denied housing or refused service because of who they are or who they love.”
In anticipation of the Equality Act’s reintroduction, CUPA-HR joined 43 other trade associations in sending a letter to Capitol Hill in support of the provisions in the bill that provide employment non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Specifically, the letter states that “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act provides a well-understood legal framework for preventing and addressing discrimination. Amending the Act to include protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity is a sensible approach to ensure consistency with other protected classes.”
Since 1974, seven separate pieces of legislation to prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity have been introduced in Congress. CUPA-HR supported similar legislation of Sen. Merkley’s, the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA), in the 113th Congress. The legislation passed the Senate but was not voted on in the House. The Equality Act of 2019 may have a stronger chance of being signed into law as it already has the bipartisan support of more than 280 members of Congress and industry support from 165 individual corporations.

Unveiling Superstitions of Common Flowers: The Mystery Behind Roses and Violets
When one thinks of flowers, an image of beauty, color, and fragrance springs to mind. But did you know that common flowers such as roses and violets harbor a wealth of superstitions and mysteries? Join us as we delve into the intriguing world of floral folklore.
The rose, in its various shades, has been a mainstay of cultural symbolism throughout history. The ancient Greeks associated the rose with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who was often depicted adorned with roses around her head, feet, and neck. This association has imbued the rose with the significance of passion, love, and beauty that persists even in 2023.
However, the tale of roses doesn't end with Aphrodite. The Romans, too, had a fascination with roses. They filled their banquet halls with rose petals, reflecting the flower's association with indulgence and earthly pleasure. The rose was sacred to Venus, the Roman counterpart of Aphrodite, further cementing its link to love and beauty.
In the Christian tradition, the rose took on another layer of symbolism. It became connected to the Virgin Mary, often called the "rose without thorns", symbolizing purity and innocence. This connection added another facet to the rose's meaning, making it a symbol not only of romantic love but also of divine love and mercy.
The color of the rose adds another layer of interpretation. Red roses, as one might expect, are symbols of passionate love, thanks to their vibrant and intense color. White roses, on the other hand, symbolize purity and innocence, often used in weddings and baptisms. Yellow roses stand for friendship and joy, while pink roses often indicate gratitude, admiration, or sympathy.
Interestingly, roses have also been a part of more mystical beliefs. For instance, it's said that if a rose bloomed in autumn, it was a sign of an early marriage. An interesting piece of superstition also suggests that if the petals of a rose fall before it's put in a vase, bad luck is on the horizon.
Roses are more than just beautiful flowers. They're steeped in symbolism and superstition, carrying meanings that have evolved over centuries. Whether it's a gift of red roses from a romantic partner, or a serene white rose at a wedding, these flowers are communicating a rich tapestry of sentiments. Speaking of gifts, our Expressions of Delight bouquet offers a mix of roses in different colors, each carrying its own unique message. This could be a great way to experience the layered symbolism of roses firsthand.
Violets, with their vibrant hues and delicate fragrance, have long captivated the human imagination. Like roses, they have a wealth of symbolism and superstition attached to them.
In Ancient Greece, violets were associated with Aphrodite, just like roses. The Greeks believed that the goddess of love would use violets to soothe her heart when she was upset. This association gave violets a symbolism of love and especially of soothing the heart after love's trials and tribulations.
During the Middle Ages in Europe, violets became a symbol of humility and modesty due to their small size and the way they hide their flowers among their leaves. This connection has persisted, and even today, violets often symbolize modesty.
The color of the violet also contributes to its symbolism. Purple, the most common color for violets, is traditionally associated with royalty and spirituality. Therefore, violets often symbolize spiritual wisdom, dignity, and high aspirations.
Violets have been steeped in superstition as well. In the Victorian era, it was believed that a violet blooming in autumn was a predictor of an early death. On a lighter note, dreaming of violets was said to foretell a joyous adventure or advancement in your life.
In addition to their symbolic meanings, violets have also had practical uses throughout history. They were used in Ancient Rome to make wine, while the Ancient Greeks used them to create love potions. Today, they are commonly used in perfumes due to their sweet and distinct scent.
From their associations with Greek gods and Victorian superstitions to their use in perfumes and love potions, violets have a fascinating and multifaceted history. They are a testament to the rich tapestry of meanings that flowers can carry. Our Lavender Luxury bouquet showcases the beauty and elegance of violets, allowing you to experience their symbolism firsthand.
Among our products, you can find violets elegantly arranged in a lush basket, symbolizing their deep-rooted mystical connection.
While roses and violets are distinct in their superstitions and symbolism, they share common ground in their association with love, dreams, and prophecy. Both flowers play an integral role in folklore and magical practices, enchanting us with their beauty and mystery.
Whether you're a believer in these superstitions or not, there's no denying the sheer beauty of these flowers. They add a touch of magic and mystique to our lives and continue to captivate us with their allure.
We invite you to explore our all-flower category for an extensive collection of roses, violets, and other enchanting blooms. If you're interested in learning more about the language of flowers or how to style your own floral arrangements, visit our blog.
The world of flowers is rich and diverse, filled with fascinating stories and hidden meanings. Through this exploration of roses and violets, we've uncovered the depth of symbolism and history associated with these popular blossoms.
Roses, with their association to love and passion, continue to be a timeless symbol in art, literature, and everyday life. Violets, embodying modesty and faithfulness, offer a more subtle, yet equally powerful expression of affection.
Though distinct in their symbolism, roses and violets share a connection through their shared associations with love and their mutual presence in gifting and perfumery. This exploration only scratches the surface of the rich tapestry of floral lore, encouraging us to look beyond the surface and appreciate the profound depth and beauty of nature's gifts.
Whether you're giving a gift, decorating a space, or simply admiring these flowers' natural beauty, knowing their stories and symbolism can enrich your appreciation and experience. So the next time you come across a rose or a violet, remember their intriguing lore and the centuries-old traditions that carry their meanings forward.

TBCSA MEMBER CALL FOR COMMENT
DUE MONDAY 09 OCTOBER 2017
Draft BUSA submission on the 2017 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement
In summary: A BUSA perspective on the 2017 MTBPS
The 2017 MTBPS takes place in the context of weakening economic growth, with growth for 2017 projected to be 0.5% by the South African Reserve Bank. This is in a context of declining business confidence, stubbornly high and unsustainable levels of unemployment and inequality, an improving yet uncertain global economic environment – and the possibility of further sovereign ratings downgrades, with their associated consequences, during the course of 2017. To this end, the following objectives should guide the 2017 MTBPS:
- A firm commitment to macroeconomic, fiscal and institutional stability.
- Improved and consistent communication on the part of government and its agencies.
- A stable, certain regulatory environment.
- Reliable and affordable infrastructure.
- Functioning and competent, fit for purpose SoEs.
- Improved skills and education to drive competitiveness.
- Clear and tangible progress on the implementation of government initiatives to address economic growth and confidence, such as the Inclusive Growth Action Plan.
In the immediate future, with the budget deficit likely to exceed the 3.4% of GDP for Financial Year 2016/2017 announced in MTBPS 2016, two broad avenues to reach fiscal sustainability are available, namely reductions in expenditure and increases in revenue. The BUSA draft submission gives broad proposals for Treasury to consider on tax policy and expenditure.

Also notice the surface tension effects on the flow from tube C. Relative humidity is the ratio of the existing vapor pressure to saturated vapor pressure. In particular the present invention relates to analysing reservoir fluids at surface or subsea.
Notice that the upper limit for Poiseuille flow corresponds to a rather small tube and a small flow rate. They help to improve these processes, working to make them cost-effective and efficient, while considering the time constraints of their customers.
Poiseuille flow in a tube exists when 1. In one embodiment of the present invention a system of measuring physical properties of a non-Newtonian fluid is provided. Also, the method may comprise storing a sample for further analysis off-line in addition to the real time analysis.
Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. The pressure at the upstream end depends on the depth of liquid in the bucket above the tube inlet.
In the experiment, two hydrometers will be placed in graduated cylinders with water containing different concentrations of salt and therefore having different densities. A sample receptacle can be: Initially the reservoir fluid will be contaminated with drilling and cushion fluids, perforation and formation debris, and injected chemicals.
Particularly in these conditions, many existing methods for measuring the WLR which work on the flow rate are not successful due to the tiny volume of liquid to be split between the oil and water.
The method includes the following steps: Increased flow turbulence and advanced flow profile development are two factors which improve the accuracy of measurements. The system may comprise a container for holding the non-Newtonian fluid and a fluid resistance member.
Values of saturated vapor pressure for water are given in Table 1.
One of the properties of the fluid which may be readily measured in the flow stream is the water liquid ratio WLR in a multiphase flow line oil, water, gas for a large range of flowing conditions.
Furthermore, from the time a sample is collected until it is analysed, there is potential for the sample to be contaminated from air or other external fluids, for the sample to react with the sample receptacle, for components in the sample to react among themselves, for the sample to degrade with time, or for loss of the sample due to leaks.
This fluid is pumped downhole to fracture a rock formation, hence disposing of the cuttings. A trajectory in the absence of friction is can be described by 1.
According to existing methods, samples for analysis are typically taken remotely in a sample receptacle, transported to the location where the analysis instrument lies and then the samples are introduced into an analyzer for analysis.
For a more dense liquid, the hydrometer does not sink as far into the liquid. In a further form of the present invention the fluid analysis module may comprise a fluid sampling device in communication with the flow line; a gas-liquid separator for separating gas from liquids being in communication with the fluid sampling device; and a water to liquid ratio measurement device being in communication with the gas-liquid separator by means of a conduit having a diameter equal to or less than 3 millimeters.
Gases tend to need more vertical pipelines to establish an accurate measurement in comparison to liquids. Preferably the system is for the analysis of reservoir fluids from a well.The intensive fluid properties related to mass are The hydrometer floats in liquids with densities within the measurement range of the hydrometer.
For a floating object of any kind, equilibrium of forces requires that the buoyant force be equal to the weight of the object. The inline sensor assembly (25), as shown in FIG. 5, can be installed in fluid communication with the flow line (20) for direct measurement of the fluid properties of a fluid.
Fluid flows through the sensor module (22) via a pre-treatment module (26) where a property of the fluid is measured from the main flowline, before flowing back out.
The many applications of flow measurement include uses in water supply, medical research, oil exploration, food processing and distribution of gas. The uses of this technology are very diverse, with each different situation bringing unique challenges and requirements.
Proper measurement of physical properties requires the knowledge of specific terms, measuring units, and measuring devices.
This course covers the terminology needed to accurately monitor and measure equipment, as well as the measuring units and techniques that apply to temperature, force, and fluids.

This technology gives operators Berrim A: “Downhole pH as a Novel Measurement Tool. Experiment #2 Fluid Properties: Viscosity. Jordan Hines Performed on January 31, Report due February 7, The temperature of the fluid is the significant measurement because the density of the fluid is directly related to its temperature.
If the temperature were greater, the fluid would be less dense; conversely, if the temperature 5/5(4).Download

If it's your turn to bring dessert to the Thanksgiving table and pumpkin pie is a must, look no further than the recipe on the side of the Libby's can. It's tried and true.
Besides, you can easily gussy it up by tinkering with it. If your crowd is amenable, however, you may offer pumpkin for dessert in other guises. We suggest a tender sour cream-pumpkin cake, a pumpkin cheesecake that once sampled will become a yearly favorite, and sumptuous pumpkin crème brûlée, which is really just a rich pumpkin pie filling without the crust.
Here are a few other quick tricks:
Many people push aside the pie crust anyhow, to save calories, so why bother making it? Bake that same old pumpkin "pie" filling without a crust, call it "crustless pie" and start a new tradition.
Make pumpkin ice cream by softening good-quality vanilla ice cream and mashing pumpkin puree into it; then refreeze. Or make pumpkin "mousse": Fold pumpkin puree and a dash each of cinnamon and allspice into real, lightly sweetened whipped cream, chill well and serve in stemmed glasses.
SOUR CREAM-PUMPKIN BUNDT CAKE
This recipe is adapted from one I clipped out of Capper's, a farm weekly. I wanted more streusel, and I added the nutmeg. If you like, you also could add a touch of cloves or allspice.
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice, preferably freshly squeezed, or milk
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan.
2. For streusel, combine brown sugar, cinnamon and flour in a bowl. Sprinkle in vanilla. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, 2 knives, or clean fingers, until mixture is crumbly.
3. For cake batter, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
4. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add pumpkin, sour cream and vanilla extract; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
5. Spoon half the batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle streusel mixture over batter, not allowing it to touch sides of pan. Top with remaining batter, making sure batter layer reaches sides of pan.
6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes in pan on wire rack. Invert onto wire rack and remove from pan to cool completely.
7. To make glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and orange juice in a small bowl and stir until smooth. When cake is cool, drizzle with glaze. Makes 16 servings.
Note: If using milk for the glaze, add a pinch of salt.
CINDY'S PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
This cake is based on one made by a friend's sister, Cindy Shook.
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
15 ounces pumpkin puree (canned is fine, but do not use seasoned pie filling)
16 ounces sour cream
4 ounces sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream the cream cheese, sugar, eggs and egg yolks until smooth.
3. Add flour, cinnamon, cloves and ginger to cheese mixture. Beat in heavy cream, vanilla and pumpkin puree and blend thoroughly.
4. Pour batter into a 10-inch springform pan. (If your pan has become somewhat bent, cover the outside securely with aluminum foil to protect against leaks.)
Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes until center is almost set. Turn off oven and allow cake to sit 15 to 20 minutes in closed oven. (The cake may crack on top; don't worry if this happens.)
5. While cake is standing in oven, prepare topping. Blend sour cream and sugar until smooth; cover and refrigerate. Remove cake from oven and let cool in pan to room temperature. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
6. Slide knife around edges of cake and unhinge springform pan. Spread top of cake with topping. Return to a preheated 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove, cool and refrigerate again until ready to serve. Makes 12 or more servings.
PUMPKIN CRÈME BRÛLÉE
3 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar, or more as needed, divided
10 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
1 1/2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin (not seasoned pie filling)
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Place a 10-inch shallow ceramic dish (such as a quiche pan, or a 9-inch pie plate that will hold 4 cups) inside a large sheet-cake pan or roasting pan.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine cream, brown sugar and 1/4 cup white sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring. When sugar is dissolved, remove from heat.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks until frothy. Slowly add 1 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Then slowly add the remaining cream mixture a little at a time.
5. Add vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and pumpkin. Blend well.
6. Pour mixture into dish. Add enough water to go halfway up the side of the pan. Bake until the center is only slightly set, still a little jiggly, about 55 minutes. The center will set some more after it is removed from the oven. Remove from oven, remove from water and cool. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled. (This may be made a day ahead.)
7. Just before serving, sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup sugar or a bit more to reach about 1/8 inch over the top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. Alternatively, place dish under the broiler until sugar is caramelized. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Note: 8 to 10 (6-ounce) individual ramekins may be used instead. The baking time will be shorter.

Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the modern world. Each day, increasing numbers of individuals receive this diagnosis. Whether you have just been diagnosed, are currently coping with the disease or just worry you might have it, this article will help make changes you need to make, so you can manage diabetes effectively and stop it from further progressing.
In modern times, you can find diabetics anywhere. You need to stop feeling ashamed about this condition to reduce the stress associated with it.
If your salad is lacking nutrients, give it a boost with some walnuts! They are a source of monounsaturated fats. These increase your cells’ receptivity to insulin, thus controlling your diabetes. Not only that, but walnuts are also great sources of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also tasty and boost your energy levels.
Remember that diabetics must be extremely cautious when having a pedicure. It is easy for a diabetic to get a grave foot infection, so it is necessary to be careful when dealing with your feet.
You’ll be surprised at the number of items containing corn syrup, so check labels, and be prepared to put back common items such as ketchup, sodas, sauces and sweets. Also, be aware that outside of the United States corn syrup may be listed as something else, such as glucose or fructose if you are in Canada.
Add more fibers to your diet to reduce the risks of getting diabetes. To reduce your risks of diabetes, eat plenty of whole grains, and avoid foods with a high glycemic index, such as processed white bread. It has been widely researched and reported that those who eat a good portion of whole grains will have a lower chance of developing diabetes.
You can find a lot of savings on diabetes medication by shopping online versus using the local pharmacy. Many of these pharmacies allow you to have shipments sent automatically each month, so you won’t run out of supplies.
If you are a diabetic, you should consider eating five to six little meals rather than three large meals everyday. When you are eating frequently through the day, you avoid large blood sugar fluctuations. If you eat more frequently it also helps keep binging away and keeps you feeling satisfied.
This is linked with an increased risk that your child will be born with diabetes or develop the condition over time. Do not impart this terrible disease onto your child, do what you can to take care of this problem now.
Give yourself a constant reminder of why taking care of your diabetes is so important. What are your hobbies? What would you undertake if you could? What’s holding you back? How can you get around those barriers? It’s important to pay attention to your priorities and let them drive your planning.
Make your favorite comfort foods more diabetes-friendly. For most, the restrictive diet that is necessary to control diabetes is the most difficult part of dealing with the disorder. The good news, however, is that few foods are truly off limits to you. Some people will eat what they like in even if it is not a good decision. The healthiest solution is using tasteful substitutions to recreate more healthy versions of your favorite dishes. A lot of foods can be acceptable for a diabetes diet if healthier choices are made in place of problem ingredients.
A diabetes diagnosis does not signify the end of one’s life. Use the insight you have gained here and you will better your chances of dealing with the day-to-day impacts of this very serious condition.

‘Do You Realize’ is the question which Mr. Confuse asks on this album and it comes as a massive plea for the power of funk. ‘Do You Realize’ is about being true to the groove, carries strong lyrical statements while touching political matters as well as social issues in its clever and heartfelt lyrics but is first and foremost, of course, about being real.
On ‘Do You Realize’ Mr. Confuse picks up on the distinctive, organic and powerful sound he introduced on ‘Feel The Fire’ and takes it a step further. ‘Do You Realize’ tells a story from the beginning to the end: ‘We Gonna Bring The Funk To You’ with featured singer and main vocalist Dan Salem allows no second thoughts as a perfect opener and leads into ‘Catch Me’, the first single release. In a total of 13 tracks and with full-on party tunes like ‘Never Let The Rhythm Go’ and ‘Let’s Get The Feeling’ the album keeps a steady pace. The second single releases ‘Too Hot’ and the conscious and soulful ‘Why Can’t You See Me’ carries ‘Do You Realize’ to the perfect ending with the moving soul ballad ‘Cool Smooth Waters’ introducing the mighty soul voice of Mrs Elaine Thomas.
It would not be a true Mr. Confuse album if it would not pay tribute to a musical pioneer. With his versions of ‘Boogie Down (Bronx)’ (with the voice of well know German Reggae artist Benjie) and ‘Man Made’ (featuring Dan Salem) Mr. Confuse pays tribute to Man Parrish as one of the innovators who translated Funk and Boogie into the HipHop-Era of early Electro and Freestyle. ‘Do You Realize’ comes as an apt title then.
Accompanying the album there will be a colourful bunch of remixes released in various formats. Well known British producers like Lack Of Afro (Freestyle Records), Newcastle's own Smoove (Jalapeno Records), up and coming producer Daytoner (Wass Records), among the excellent bossa breaks remix production of Dr Rubberfunk (Jalapeno Records) and an exciting remix on the jazzy tip by Tom Eno (Jack To Phono Records) are representing the UK remixer scene. The album also features contributions by Hungary's finest producer team The Uptown Felaz (Shiftin' Gears Records), Poland's Przaśnik (Funky Mamas And Papas Recordings) and Germany's block-rocking Ghetto Funk producers Funkanomics (Big M Productions) together with well known German Electro Funk expert Funkmaster Ozone (Da Source Records) and fresh new faces like Salem & Bastino - not to forget Afternoons In Stereo (Timewarp Music) from Toronto/Canada and a rare appearance of Dublex Inc (INFRACom!).
With ‘Do You Realize” Mr. Confuse is not only expanding his trademark sound but the album also introduces him as a musical director with an open ear for the bigger picture. With up to 23 international musicians he created incredible sounding big arrangements you would rather expect from the good times of big studios from the 60s and 70s. Here is a producer who not only reveals a deep understanding of the rhythms ranging from Afro to Soul and from classic R&B to HipHop, but who also has a vision of translating history into the future. ‘Do You Realize’? Indeed we do!

One step forward then
After another home defeat where few chances were created you wonder what goes through the mind of our players. Are they in a comfort zone of a good contract, nice car and home and unlike the fans regard it as just another day at the office?
What happens to a group of players who one week should have won at Wolverhampton, do win at Birmingham then follow those games with the abject performances at home to Burnley and Crystal Palace. They seem to lack the mental strength that goes with success which is a disappointment considering the changes there have been with the playing staff over the last twelve months.
Are we the supporters being impatient with the team in these times of demanding instant success and not allowing the club to rebuild after last year's very close shave with going out of business?
Does the targetting of individual players by the 'boo boys' help or hinder the cause?
Still for the fans after the weekend is over it is optimism for the visit next Saturday to Hillsborough.

Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic embarrassing debilitating disease involving nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. It is characterized by foul smelling crusts (greenish) inside the nasal cavity. Nasal mucosa tends to bleed when these crusts are removed. Nasal cavity appears to be excessively roomy. Foul stench emanates from the patient. Patient is mercifully unaware of this stench because of the presence of anosmia. This article discusses the various features of this disease and the various management modalities available.

My husband’s mother’s paternal grandparents (his great grandparents) were Henry Antilla and Ida Antilla from Finland. At the time Ida's immigration, Russia claimed possession of Finland.

7 - Tauno Aug 27, 1913 Troy, NH- Nov 26, 1990 Peterborough, NH
* Antti ( or Andrew) Antilla married Marion Lottie Cook
Heikki and Ida were immigrants from different areas of Finland. Heikki changed his name to Henry and Anttila was anglicized to Antilla. Finnish sources tell me Anttila is a very common name, like “Brown” or even “Smith,” so tracing it is hard. Paavola is a common name as well, but not quite as common as Anttila.
When they married, Ida was a good deal younger: Ida gives her age as 18. Her father’s name as Andrew; her mother’s name was Eva. At 35 Heikki was at least 17 years older than she (if you do the math, he would have been 37 that year). He gives his father’s name as John and his mother as Tinancy.
Heikki apparently immigrated with little or no English. If he was schooled, it wouldn't have mattered much. He worked for some years in Sparta, Minnesota in a granite mine--when there was work (some of the children were born there). Records indicate that that granite mine was full of Finnish laborers.
I am guessing that when the job ran out, or when they needed more money, he moved back to New Hampshire. There was a small community of Finnish immigrants is southern New Hampshire and the Mass border. The Finnish Lutheran churches (and other Finnish churches) were in existence to serve that group of people for a period of time.
|Heikki Anttila, Sparta, Minn|
According to the 1910 census, Ida and Henry had a total of 9 children born to them, you can see several children did not reach adulthood.

Geddy Lee Sound and Style
The Geddy Lee Jazz Bass is an exact replica of the tonally singular instrument that Rush's revered bassist/vocalist has riffed away on in front of millions of devoted fans worldwide and on many a mega-selling album. Lee remains an acclaimed and enormously influential bassist and, with mean, mean stride, his best-selling and elegantly styled signature model makes your tone crackle with life and bristle with the energy, with massive low end, guttural midrange and crystal-clear highs.

It was another impressive outing from Detroit Tigers’ right hander, Max Scherzer, on Wednesday afternoon. After coming of a start against the Texas Rangers, when Scherzer went six innings and allowed only two runs, he followed that start up with one of his best performances of the year.
Scherzer pitched seven innings, while striking out 10, walked two batters and only surrendered four hits on the day. Scherzer now leads the major leagues with the most nine or more strike out games with 10. He also took back the lead of most strikeouts in the American League from teammate Justin Verlander.
The Tigers’ offense helped Scherzer out along the way. Miguel Cabrera crushed his 30th home run the opposite way in the first inning to put the Tigers up 1-0.
Cabrera became the first Tigers player to hit 30 or home runs in a season for five straight years. Hank Greenberg and Cecil Fielder both did it four straight years.
In the top of the fourth, Delmon Young hit a two run homer — his 13th of the season — to put the Tigers up 3-0. Andy Dirks lead off the fifth inning with a double. Cabrera collected his second RBI, 103rd overall, of the day with a single. Making it a 4-0 game. Then in the top of the eighth Jhonny Peralta hit his second double of the day. Omar Infante drove him in, putting the game out of reach 5-0.
The only offense the Twins could mount was in the bottom of the eighth. Octavio Dotel gave up a triple to Ben Revere, then Joe Mauer drove him in for the only Twins’ run of the day. The Twins were limited to just six hits on the day by Tigers’ pitching.
Joaquin Benoit — who has a lot of problems giving up the home run ball in his last five appearances– retired the Twins in order in the bottom of the ninth. Securing a series win for the Tigers.
After an off day, the Baltimore Orioles come to Detroit to face off against Justin Verlander (12-7). Tommy Hunter (4-7) will pitch for the O’s. This will be the first chance Tigers fans get the chance to see rookie sensation, Manny Machado.

Aventis accepted a takeover bid from French rival Sanofi Synthélabo, creating the world’s third largest pharma giant
Aventis has finally accepted a bid from its French rival Sanofi Synthélabo, ending months of wrangling between the two companies and creating the world’s third largest pharmaceutical firm, after Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline.
Aventis had for some time fought off a €45bn hostile bid from Sanofi, despite the fact that the French government had openly supported the takeover. The government had discouraged a ‘white knight’ bid from Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis, openly displaying its enthusiasm for a French national pharmaceutical champion. It also stressed the need for France to guarantee access to vaccines in the event of a terrorist attack.
The new group will be called Sanofi-Aventis, and will be headed by Jean-François Dehecq, Sanofi’s CEO.
Chemistry World (June 2004)
Ed. Since 2004 Chemistry World has regularly reported on the fortunes of Sanofi-Aventis, which has developed into a global healthcare company, with acquisitions including Zentiva, Medley, Kendricks, Acambis, Symbion and Merial. It is the world’s largest producer of vaccines through its subsidiary Sanofi Pasteur. In 2011, Sanofi-Aventis acquired Genzyme and shareholders approved the change of company name to Sanofi at that year’s combined shareholder meeting.

How do you wind a chime clock?
How to Wind a Pendulum Clock
- Locate the winding points on the clock face. …
- Insert the key or crank into a winding point. …
- Continue turning the key or crank until it won’t turn any further. …
- Wind the other one or two winding points the same way if your clock chimes on the hour or quarter-hour.
How do you set a battery operated chime?
To set the clock to the correct time, carefully turn the hands in a specific order. Set the minute hand first to the correct time and the hour hand should follow behind to the correct hour. If you have a knob for the hands, turn that clockwise or counterclockwise to get to the correct time.
Why does my clock chime the wrong hour?
The usually happens when an hour hand is moved by mistake when re-setting the time on your grandfather clock. Sometimes if a grandfather clock is allowed to wind down so the weights are on the bottom and the grandfather clock pendulum stops, this can happen.
Why does my clock not chime?
If your clock has stopped chiming after 5 years, or has stopped chiming correctly, chances are the problem is a lack of, or improper, maintenance. Most manufacturers of clocks recommend ‘oiling’ a clock every year. … The clock often stops functioning properly due to this lack of lubrication or from the worn parts.
Can you unwind a clock?
Luckily, the truth is that you can’t over-wind your clock. … A clock mainspring is made of spring steel and is about the width of a ruler (but not quite as thick). They are on average 7 to 8 feet long! One end of the mainspring hooks on a winding arbor (the thing your key goes onto when you wind it).
What causes a pendulum to slow down and stop swinging?
When the swing is raised and released, it will move freely back and forth due to the force of gravity on it. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction (between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points) slows it down and eventually stops it.
Can you Overwind a clock?
What is overwinding? It’s actually impossible to overwind a clock, whilst you can wind a clock until it cases internal damages and breakages, it’s impossible to continuously wind a clock. … However, in many cases it may be difficult to spot when your clock needs an oiling.
Can you make clock chime quieter?
You can make a grandfather clock chime louder by adjusting the chime hammers. If the hammers are not set correctly, they may not be making direct contact with the chime rods, resulting in less sound. Chime hammers are connected to long wire-like arms that are made to be bent.
How do you set a quartz clock?
How to Adjust a Quartz Clock
- Insert the batteries.
- Adjust the time using the minute hand or the time setting knob, which is likely on the back. …
- Allow the clock to operate for at least an hour for the chime sequence to become synchronized (if there is a chime sequence).


Alongside today’s Autumn Statement, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) released new economic forecasts. They show that rising prices will erode real wages and reduce living standards by 7% over the next two years, which could see the worst for living standards since modern records began in 1956. When we look internationally, the UK remains the only G7 country stuck below pre-pandemic economic peaks. Today’s statement has not improved our prospects.
Nevertheless, there was some cause for slight relief from the Chancellor’s announcements. Short-term deep cuts to public services were avoided, and reduced capital gains and dividend income allowances were announced, which started what should be a national journey towards a fairer tax system where unearned incomes are taxed the same as hard-earned incomes through wages.
There was further positive news in the form of the announcement that devolution will be extended to more areas of England, as well as limited references to deepening devolution in the trailblazer areas of Greater Manchester and West Midlands. Hidden in the detail was a suggestion of exploring ‘single departmental-style settlements’ instead of competitive bidding processes for those places: a long-awaited change, conceding IPPR North’s argument that competitions are a poor way to level up.
Yet the Chancellor failed to use the fiscal space available to him, to truly measure up to the challenges our country faces — the immediate cost-of-living emergency and the longstanding need to level up and end regional inequality. He left public services facing deep cuts in years to come, enforced public sector pay cuts, and slashed the investment needed to fuel our economy.
Despite the noise generated by ‘levelling up’ there was little in today’s statement to narrow divides as they deepen in the cost-of-living emergency. In fact, at a time of high inflation, standing still equals cuts. Jeremy Hunt’s decision to hold capital spending steady in cash terms means inflating away what can be delivered. Indeed, IPPR North analysis released today highlights that more than £0.5 billion of levelling up funding is being lost due to inflation and delays delivering funding, equal to £1 in every £13 for two key levelling up pots: the Shared Prosperity and Levelling Up funds.
Clearly, a commitment by government to regional investment is lacking. Promises about ‘core Northern Powerhouse Rail’ and HS2 to Manchester likely mean only the transport investment outlined in the disappointing Integrated Rail Plan is planned. It is almost exactly a year since that plan was announced, which IPPR North labelled as ‘more broken transport promises’. Today’s reannouncement gives cause to repeat that: anything other than ‘full fat’ Northern Powerhouse Rail is yet another broken promise to the North.
What’s more, there were other announcements today that could hinder levelling up further, like the hancellor’s decision not to support local authorities with surging inflation and instead to raise council tax limits. While we would generally celebrate improved flexibility for local authorities to raise funds for public services and investment, specifically raising council tax limits in the absence of any other support or fiscal devolution will widen inequality. And using the word ‘flexibility’ here is questionable too because local authorities have little choice but to increase council tax to respond to inflationary pressures, as conceded by the OBR’s assumption of a 5% council tax increase across England.
Areas with pricier properties will raise more, while places with lower property values, particularly in the North, will raise less. What’s more, less well-off places will have much higher exposure to inflationary pressures—meaning deeper local cuts—than the wealthiest places. That does not close regional divides, it widens them.
Ultimately, what underlined today’s Statement was poor economic thinking. The Chancellor spoke about not leaving any debts to the next generation and claimed “you cannot borrow your way to growth" but that is neither sensible nor credible. Borrowing to invest is critical to building strong economic foundations that deliver prosperity. Leaving the next generation without any assets - just weak public services, ailing infrastructure, regions locked out of prosperity, and an unbalanced economy – is an abject policy failure. Yet this status quo and the economic thinking that drives it that hollowed out the foundations of our economy, that prevailed today.
Government can choose to forge a different path. Investing in the things that enhance peoples’ quality of life, empower communities, and build a stronger economy where people, public services, and businesses can thrive will benefit everyone. They can kick-start our economy and accelerate efforts to close our regional divides, investing in regions and building institutional capacity through policies like fiscal devolution. Unlocking the potential of regions like the North can deliver prosperity that will be felt not only in the North but across the whole country.

Pediatricians are beginning to see new overuse spine injuries and back pain in children and teens. The cause? Heavy backpacks. Here are some tips on making better backpack choices for your children:
First, your child’s backpack shouldn’t weigh more than 10 percent of your child’s body weight. You can check the weight of the fully loaded pack on the bathroom scale. If the pack is too heavy consider a wheeled backpack.
Second, children should always wear both straps on their shoulders to avoid back pain. To distribute the weight correctly packs with straps across the chest are preferable and padded back panels help to cushion the load.
For more information check out this article in the Washington Post on back pain and backpacks.
