The end of May was marked by the decision of the Trump administration to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the EU. This action may mark escalating trade tensions among key trading partners.
Beyond growing trade concerns, there are also other reasons to worry about the upbeat equity market outlook for 2018 and beyond. A tight labor market in the U.S., aggressive tax cuts and increased government spending could force the Fed to react quickly to prevent inflation from running too high, leading to higher interest rates and lower equity market multiples. Also, political developments in Italy, home of 4% of global debt, will need to be monitored closely, although the latest European Union credit measures and leading indicator suggest sustained positive economic momentum.
The increase in market-based inflation expectations to new highs since September 2014 and more recent higher interest rates are also consistent with robust economic growth. However, we remain worried that growing headwinds for equities over the coming months could result in lower business investment due to intensifying trade disputes. The derailing of NAFTA talks (especially after the July 1st Mexican elections) as well as a deteriorating geopolitical environment with live crises in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Libya and North Korea among other places, also justify remaining prudent. As a result, we maintain our neutral stance on equities for the month of June.
Regional Allocation & Sector Allocation
There are no major changes to our regional allocation this month with our largest overweight remaining Canadian and Emerging market equities. Canadian stocks remain historically cheap relative to U.S. equities and we continue to expect Canadian prices to rise further in 2018 on the back of a tightening global oil market and as constraints on market access in Canada get resolved. This being said, we will be monitoring the upcoming OPEC meeting in a few weeks to determine, after months of excessive compliance, by how much the agreement to cut production will be adjusted to meet global oil demand and how this adjustment will affect crude prices.
We also maintain our overweight in emerging markets as these remain cheap relative to developed markets. Macroeconomic conditions continue to be ideal for emerging markets, with low real interest rates, soft inflation measures, easy financial conditions and, for now, improving global trade flows. Both leading economic indicator (see graph below) and forward earnings for emerging markets are also accelerating relative to developed markets, which represent other tailwinds for EM equities.
Our sector allocation is unchanged for the month of June. We are recommending that clients overweight positions in the Industrials, Financials, Energy and Consumer discretionary sectors in the U.S. and Canada.
For Canada, we also recommend keeping an overweight in the Materials sector and, in the U.S, the Information Technology sector. The energy sector could come under pressure if the OPEC meeting in June confirms that OPEC and Russia intent to relax crude production cuts early (the renewed agreement was intended to last until next December) by a large amount. However, we believe this was already priced in following the acknowledgment in mid-May by Russia and Saudi Arabia that lower oil inventories, having returned to their 5-year average, may justify increasing global crude supply in the coming months to avoid a price flare up. In our view, the beginning of driving season last week and further potential constraints on production in Venezuela and Iran should also help sustain WTI oil prices above $65 until the end of this year.
Canadian Bond Allocation
We also maintain our neutral stance on corporate bonds this month as valuation remains historically rich, especially when adjusted for elevated corporate leverage. We remain concerned by the unavoidable decelerating global economic momentum, the eventual slowdown in earnings growth and central banks withdrawing stimulus. All of these factors will ultimately hurt the relative performance of credit in the second half of the year. Moreover, growing apprehensions over geopolitical uncertainties and ongoing trade war hostilities could negatively impact the profit margin outlook of corporations. We are not calling for corporate spread to get wider in June. However, as they are historically tight with little to be gained in terms of further compression and, as the timing of a credit spread reversal is notoriously difficult to forecast, we prefer remaining neutral for now.

A recent eye-catching news article stated: Twins born to parents from embryos frozen 30 years ago breaking the prior record of baby Molly Gibson, who was born in 2020; from an embryo frozen 27 years ago! For nearly three decades these embryos were stored in liquid nitrogen at -196 degree celsius, secure in an IVF laboratory of a Fertility centre. Want to know an interesting fact? The first reported pregnancy in humans from a frozen embryo was in the year 1983! Since then, millions of babies have been born through frozen embryo transfers. Dr Duru Shah, Director, Gynaecworld- The Center for Women’s Health and Fertility shares more such interesting facts.
What is Embryo Freezing?
Freezing of embryos or Embryo Cryopreservation is a vital part of ART (Assisted reproductive technology) services. The procedure involves extracting eggs from the ovaries after stimulating them with certain hormones, fertilising the eggs with sperms in the IVF laboratory, creating embryos and culturing them to a certain day 3 or day 5 embryos before freezing them. In some cycles known as fresh cycles, the embryos are put back inside the uterus in the same cycle when the ovaries are stimulated and the eggs are retrieved. While in frozen cycles, the embryos are frozen and transferred back into the uterus of the same woman at a later stage.
With advancing technology and ultra-rapid techniques called vitrification, freezing of embryos or gametes has enhanced success rates with IVF cycles. Prior to vitrification, embryos were frozen using the slow freezing technique which led to lower recovery of viable embryos after thawing them. The process of freezing enables us to maintain the biological age of the embryos since the most important factor determining the success rate of IVF is the genetic age of the woman at which the eggs or embryos were frozen.
Why do people freeze embryos?
There are various reasons why we freeze embryos. They may be medically indicated or for social reasons such as:
- In PCOS patients/Endometriosis patients: Women with PCOS who have many embryos can develop a complication called ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS) if embryos are transferred in fresh cycles. Hence they are frozen to be transferred in a much optimal environment and to avoid any complications.
- Patients with endometriosis need to be given a pre-treatment for 2-3 months to get better success rates. Hence we first create the embryos, freeze them, treat them for endometriosis with tablets or injections and then do the transfer.
- Social freezing: Women/couples who want to delay pregnancy due to personal reasons freeze their eggs or embryos.
- Genetic diagnosis/Biopsy of embryos: Couples having any history of a genetic disorder in the family need to get their embryos tested before transferring them. Biopsy also enables us to filter out abnormal embryos before transferring them.
- Prior to cancer therapy: Chemotherapy/Radiotherapy can affect the fertility potential by affecting egg quality and number. Hence, it is advisable to freeze your eggs before starting any cancer treatment.
The good news is that the success rates from both fresh and frozen cycles are largely the same. Few studies vouch for the superiority of frozen cycles over fresh; as frozen transfers promise a better uterine receptivity and also give the patient sufficient time to recover from the fresh cycle, but overall there is no statistical difference between both cycles.
Interesting Facts About Babies Born Out Of Frozen Embryos
There have been many questions regarding the well-being of children born out of frozen cells.
- According to a very recent review study including babies born between 1987-2021, it was concluded that there is a significant birth weight difference between fresh and frozen cycle babies.
- Babies born out of frozen cycles tend to have higher birth weights and lesser risk of preterm deliveries.
- On an interesting note, there is no birth weight difference in twin pregnancies of fresh and frozen cycles! Also, there has been no evidence of any higher risk of birth defects among babies born out of frozen embryos.
- Concerning neurodevelopmental outcomes, a recent 2020 long-term study assessed the developmental status of babies at >2yrs of age after birth from fresh/frozen IVF cycles. They found that babies born out of both fresh or frozen cycles have similar outcomes concerning their fine motor or problem-solving skills!
A new Nordic study including almost 8 million babies compared children born via fresh cycles or natural conceptions with babies born out of frozen cycles. They found that frozen cycle babies might have a little increased chance of developing cancer, but the overall risk was very very low. Hence, more evidence-based data is required to establish global guidelines to consider long-term outcomes of children born via frozen cycles.
There are many centres which only offer frozen cycles since it makes it technically easier for the clinic to schedule their IVF cycles, staff availability and avoid overlapping of cases. Whether this is ethical or not, we surely need bigger studies to justify the use of frozen cycles for all patients needing IVF.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT…
Feeling stressed or just out of sorts in blah moments? I am a firm believer that you are what you eat and when you’re feeling blah or a little moody, that’s your body’s way of telling you you’re missing some key “emotional nutrients”. Emotional wellness is the key to unlocking good physical and mental wellness. Who would have known that there are foods that actually contribute to your emotional wellness? There are quite a few “moody foods”, that can bring your emotional wellness from blah to aha!
Check out these 5 Mood Enhancing foods!
If you matched bananas up against depression; bananas would win! Bananas have high levels of tryptophan an essential amino acid. Once consumed, tryptophan converts to serotinin, which contributes to our “happy moods”. Rich in mood elevating magnesium, energy producing potassium and vitamin B6, a banana for breakfast will definitely give you that good morning start or can serve as a great snack throughout the day as a pick me up. Vitamin B6 is also a popular cure for treating PMS symptoms.
Although dark chocolate is high in fat, it does have quite a few health benefits that would make you go hmmm. Dark chocolate has been credited for lowering blood pressure, preventing blood clots, and improving the body’s blood flow. Dark chocolate is made up of high levels phenylalanine, which can be best described as the feeling you get when it feels like you’re falling in love. Much like bananas, dark chocolate can also be used to fight depression and to stabilize your mood. (Any reason to eat chocolate is fine by me!)
Spinach isn’t just what made Popeye strong, or the yucky green stuff your mom made you eat. There are studies which have linked spinach to lowering the risk of cancer, and high blood pressure!
No need to hold off on turkey until the holidays. Its low fat and high protein composition is a good source for tryptophan, selenium and vitamin B6. Tryptophan is needed for the production of ‘mood enhancing’ niacin and serotonin. It also acts as a mild sedative that helps promote sleep, rest & relaxation……No wonder my “meat eating” friends & family always pass out after Thanksgiving dinner!
Walnuts are great sources for serotonin boosting magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids. Magnesium can stabilize a person’s mood by regulating blood sugar levels. A lack of magnesium, excess calcium and stress may result in symptoms related to depression such as insomnia, irritability, anxiety and being agitated. Magnesium is also believed to elevate symptoms related to premenstrual syndrome.

Tag archives for Balloons
A little yellow house like the one seen in the Pixar movie Up actually went up in the air on Saturday, March 5 as part of the upcoming National Geographic Channel series “How Hard Can It Be?”. Scientists, engineers, and balloon pilots worked together to launch a life-sized model of the Up house using 300 helium balloons! Not only did the team prove that a house really could be lifted by balloons, they broke a world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted.
How far did the floating house get? It rose to a height of 10,000 feet and was in the air for about an hour.

text: Pisa is only an hour away from Florence by train, so we took a day trip to see the leaning tower of Pisa. It was so worth it to see and so surreal being there having seen so many photos of it! There wasn't much else to do in Pisa, but it was nice to escape the crowds of Florence though. It was a relatively quiet little town, there weren't even signs to the leaning tower from the train station. It was an ordeal in itself trying to find it. The directions were simple enough but we took a couple of wrong turns in the process and people were giving us different directions. When we finally arrived, I was so excited, it's so cool! I really loved the leaning tower, seeing it is one of my highlights of Italy so far. The Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles) where the tower is located also has a huge cathedral and baptistery. They are also pretty amazing. I am so glad I invested in my new camera with all these photo opportunities! We also got to see the last 'painting' this famous graffiti artist (Keith Harring) did in 1989. Was cool to stumble upon having read about it before. For lunch we shared a four cheeses pizza and spinach and cheese ravioli in a napolitana sauce, it was a quality meal! I have found so far that if you go for the simple Italian meals, you're guaranteed a good one. It doesn't need to be loaded up with ingredients, just a couple of simple ones. We wandered around Pisa, passed through the piazza dei cavalieri, lay on the (super soft and green) grass at the Campo dei Miracoli and did some window shopping before heading back to Florence.

Tom Bombem... Cross-stitched
One of Kristina's hobbies is to cross-stitch. Stitching the pictures
one block at a time is very similar to creating sprites for video games.
So I had the idea that maybe she could cross-stitch some scenes
reminiscent to my Tom Bombem games (which I tend to doodle endlessly).
I was all set to create my own cross-stitch pattern generator, but luckily
I checked freshmeat.net first and found
cross-stitch.py which did a great job.
We did have to eyeball the colors a bit, as the thread color-matchers that come
with such programs need a little work. But below you can find the results.
You can make this yourself, here are the directions (in .eps format. You'll
need ghostview or a similar program to view):
This one attempted a more 3-d angle for the ship.

When you started reading this title, you probably already came up with a name. The name of one of the most popular Netflix TV show, one that everyone waited for this all summer. If you haven’t watched Narcos yet, you have to turn on Netflix right now. It is an amazing series where nothing is missing, not to mention that it is all based on real facts which makes it even more interesting and entertaining. If you are not in the mood for drug cartels and Tequila, we have other good tips for you.
Another great one is The Good Place. This TV show talks about bureaucratic mix-ups. Kristen Bell who plays the main character ends up in the Good Place after dying, a quite afterlife neighborhood. However, in her life she wasn’t a good person and was extremely selfish so now, in order to be sent to the Bad Place, she must learn how to behave.
If you are more into actions and superheroes, The Defenders is an amazing show. In this show, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron First are together to defeat Alexandra, leader of the ninja clan The Hand. Some things in the show are not so convincing: the fight scenes still look goofy, but it is still really good.

6th Grade English
Please sign in to download materials.
What are the major themes in the course?
In sixth grade English, students examine the role of the hero across different cultures and times periods. Starting in Ancient Greece, students explore the brave warriors in myths who slayed monsters to prove themselves to the gods. As the year goes on, they read a variety of coming-of-age novels about heroes who learn to empower others by speaking out, writing and acting on their beliefs in communities devastated by poverty or stripped of their human rights. From a Chicano neighborhood in Chicago to the Jim Crow South, sixth graders will emerge from this course with a strong sense of the opportunities an individual has to stand up against society.
What is the major focus for reading instruction?
In sixth grade, students will focus more on author’s craft than in previous years by analyzing the literary moves the author makes to enhance the plot and convey a theme. They will look closely at devices (such as dialogue, inner thoughts and imagery) employed to create mood or reveal a perspective. Importantly, students will equip themselves with strategies to identify the meaning of unknown words by looking for contextual clues, Latin roots and word charge. In addition, students will continue to build their stamina for rigorous texts, their annotation skills and their acquisition of advanced vocabulary.
Why did we choose these texts?
- The Lightning Thief and D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths: Students examine the literary devices used to depict character motivation while looking closely at the recurring role of hubris in Greek mythology. Students explore the stages of a hero’s journey as a common plot structure across literature.
- Poetry: Students look at the impact of figurative language on the speaker’s tone. This is also the first unit where theme is introduced in the course. Students will trace multiple themes throughout the poems they read about personal heroes.
- The House on Mango Street: Students focus on how the author uses imagery in her vignettes to reveal the narrator’s perspective. They examine how a young Chicana girl uses her writing to empower herself and others in a predominantly patriarchal community.
- The Watsons Go To Birmingham: Students study the moves the author makes to appeal to a young reader such as humor, colloquial dialogue and point of view. This unit also pushes students to understand point of view through a young unreliable narrator. Students explore the ways an African American boy can empower himself and his family despite prejudice and violence during the Civil Rights Era.
- The Giver: Students examine the straightforward writing style of this dystopic novel. They explore the ways Jonas fights for his belief in what is fair and right despite social pressure to conform.
- Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen: Students study the power of a memoir and the role of social media in modern day advocacy. They explore how Jazz, the protagonist, normalizes her experiences as a transgender girl through her nonchalant writing style and upbeat tone.

My old gag cartoon
Here is my gag cartoon from 1999, published in French:
- Darling, don't you think your mother's portrait would fit much better in our living room?


Emergency officials responded to a crash Wednesday afternoon between a District 300 school bus and a vehicle at Van Buren Street and Barrington Avenue in East Dundee.
"There were 54 students on board" when the crash happened, said Anthony McGinn, director of public relations and communication services for District 300. Authorities said the students were five and six years old.
Seven students on the bus reported complaints of head and or chest pain, East Dundee Police Chief Terry Mee said. Six were transported to an area hospital. A parent came to the scene and took control of the seventh kid, Mee said.
Jose Villagomez, 26, of Carpentersville, was driving a yellow Dodge Neon westbound on Barrington Avenue at about 2:30 p.m. when he slid through the stop sign at the intersection and struck the school bus, Mee said.
"He was proceeding too fast down the hill when he was approaching Van Buren according to witnesses," Mee said.
The bus involved in the accident had come from Parkview Elementary School in Carpentersville, McGinn said.
Parents of students who were transported to the hospital have been notified, McGinn said.
District 300 officials went to the scene immediately after learning of the accident, he said.
The remaining students were placed on another bus and driven home, except for students whose parent arrived at the scene and picked them up, Mee said.
Ambulances from the East Dundee Fire District, Dundee-Rutland Fire District and the Elgin Fire Department transported the students to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin, Mee said.
Both the car and bus involved in the incident was towed from the scene.
Villagomez, who was not injured in the accident, was cited for a stop sign violation and failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision, Mee said.

Perspective with Yet Another Grief Anniversary
For three years now January has come and gone with the pain of loss. I’ve said it many times. No one should have to bury a child.
Now I add May to my least favorite months of the year list. Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of Nancy’s–the wife of my youth–going home to be with the Lord.
I was not sure how it would pass for me, especially since last March the Lord blessed me with Jan–the wife of my later years.
This picture was taken three years ago at a new people fellowship in our home. Who could have possibly known the providence of God that would unfold so soon after?
My emotions certainly came into play last night as the exact hour of Nan’s passing 365 days ago approached. Different folks reached out to me assuring me of their prayer support. Jan and I spent the evening together remembering and processing.
A verse I have returned to repeatedly through this journey is Prov. 18:22.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
What can I say? I’ve been favored by God in this regard twice in one lifetime.
Nancy was a gift from God to me. Jan is a gift from God to me. Both qualify as “excellent” (morally strong) women (Prov. 12:4; Prov. 31:10). Both were/are “prudent” (wise) women (Prov. 19:14). God alone gives a man such extraordinary favor.
Charles Bridges, in his commentary on Proverbs, said well what I testify to as a man favored in marriage not just to one, but two godly women in a lifetime:
The good thing is, when he honors her, . . . as the person, whom God saw to be the best and fittest for himself in the whole world, a comfort for life, a help for heaven. Thus she becomes the one object of his undivided heart. Mutual faith is plighted in the Lord. Such a communion spiritualizes his affections, and elevates him from earth to heaven.
And so with this first May anniversary behind me, I do that very good thing.
I honor both these women–gifts from Him lifting me more heavenward than I might ever have reached without them.
Thanks be to God for double favor.
I came here to see if you had said anything in remembrance of Nancy. I figured you had. Days before the end of May I remembered this anniversary was coming up. I intended to check on you on the actual date, but the intention slipped by unfulfilled until tonight. I remembered in my sitting spot at the park. And when I saw the photo you had chosen for this entry, I gasped a little to myself, never expecting to see the three of you, you, Nancy, and your new bride, Jan, all together in a photo.

(Fox News) A federal judge has ordered a Pennsylvania county to remove the cross from its seal, saying it violated the Constitution.
Lehigh Valley County, which is about 40 miles north of Philadelphia, will have to redesign its seal after U.S. District Judge Edward Smith ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an organization that promotes separation of church and state and which filed the lawsuit against the county, according to The Morning Call.
Smith made it known in his ruling that he was not happy about the decision he had to make but was following the rule of constitutional law, including the establishment clause, which states that Congress may not pass any laws establishing a religion.

Nuclear bosses are planning a “more compact” Wylfa Newydd development which will free up land around the site.
Horizon Nuclear Power have re-designed the scheme to reduce its overall footprint although it will still include two reactors and generate the same amount of power.
It will allow more land around the site to be made available for construction activities and potentially housing more workers.
A consultation on this change and the plans for worker accommodation across the island will launch next month ahead of a planning application for the entire scheme later this year.
Duncan Hawthorne, chief executive officer for Horizon, said: “As we move towards submitting an application to build the power station, we’re continually reviewing our proposals to ensure they are the best they can be for everyone with a stake in the project, including those living and working on Anglesey now and for generations to come.
“Our latest proposals include a more compact site layout that means more activities can be carried out closer to the power station.
“Many aspects of our proposals remain the same, including our commitment to the residents and communities of Anglesey, and to the Welsh language and culture.
“It’s really important for us to involve local people in shaping and refining our plans, so I’d like to thank everyone again for all of the feedback they’ve provided so far, and look forward to hearing their thoughts on our updates.”
It is understood the new plan will see more shared facilities between the two reactors rather than them operating as two separate plants.
The new consultation will launch on May 24 when the full details of the proposed changes are revealed.
It follows two major consultations in 2014 and 2016.
As well as holding events at venues across Anglesey, Horizon will also be out and about in a consultation bus visiting popular locations such as shopping centres and markets across North Wales.

UPDATE: Prince Frederick, MD – On April 17, 2020 at approximately 6:42 AM Maryland State Police – Prince Frederick Barrack “U” posted an update on Facebook, “Alexia Nakia Brown has been LOCATED safe and unharmed.”
LUSBY, Md. — February 20, 2020 – Alexia Nakia Brown was 16 when she came up missing April of 2019. Now she is 17 and still has not been found.
“I feel like nobody cares! I can’t give up on her! I can’t fail her,” said Tony Brown, Alexia’s father. “I know she is 17 now and nearly adult, but she needs to go to school, and she needs medical care.”
Tony said that Alexia has been through hard times in her life because her mother has been in and out of jail.
“Yes, we suspect that she ran away, but how do we know and what about her safety with all of this human trafficking,” he said. “Someone must know where she is besides her mother.”
Tony explained that Alexia’s mother has a violent criminal past and is not safe for Alexia. He believes Alexia’s mother knows where Alexia is — there is a court order for Alexia to be returned to Tony Brown’s custody.
Alexia had recently moved to Lusby when she went missing, and she had attended Patuxent High School.
Tony is begging the public to help him and not give up on her.
If anyone has information regarding her location, they are asked to please contact Tony Brown at 443-822-0830 or the Prince Frederick Barrack Duty Officer at 410-535-1400. Callers can remain anonymous.

The 33-year-old WBC champ completed his trilogy of fights with fierce rival Deontay Wilder on Saturday.
Fury dropped Wilder in the third round before the Bronze Bomber roared back with two knockdowns in the fourth round at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
However, Wilder was unable to build on his fourth-round success as Fury knocked him down for the second time in the 10th before landing a vicious right in the 11th to seal a KO win.
Fury, who made the first successful defence of his WBC title, remains undefeated in the heavyweight division while rivals Anthony Joshua and Wilder have both tasted defeat.
The Gypsy King’s father believes that no other fight in the current heavyweight division, including unified champ Oleksandr Usyk, could beat his son in the ring.
Big John claimed only a “6’8, 18-and-a-half stone” heavyweight who showed the qualities possessed by Mayweather could manage to end Fury’s undefeated run.
“There’s nobody out there unless you can get a 6’8, 18-and-a-half stone Floyd Mayweather,” he told iFL TV.
“That is the only kind of [person] who is going to give him [Fury] problems.
“There’s nobody out there that can be compared to this man’s [Tyson Fury] strength, size and boxing ability and the boxing IQ. He has got the brains to match everything else.
“The heavy-legged, the slow-feeted, the one-two left hook and the technical boxing stuff, this man [Fury] will kill you stone dead.
“It’s not enough for him, that conventional boxing style, one-two and a jab, left hook and a little bit of slow movement. This man will eat your life.”
Fury’s dad recently claimed that Usyk, who won his titles with a sensational victory over Joshua, is “scared” of fighting his son in a potential unification super-fight.
Usyk’s hopes of facing Fury in an undisputed clash will have to wait, with Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn confirming that Joshua has invoked his rematch clause.
Fury’s next opponent could be the winner of Dillian Whyte and Otto Wallin’s clash on 30th October for the WBC interim title.
The WBC is expected to name a mandatory challenger for Fury from the aforementioned fight, with Whyte in contention for his long-sought-after title shot.

More than first place in the AFC East is on the line Sunday afternoon against the Jets at Gillette Stadium.
FOXBORO — The pressure’s on the Patriots.
Particularly on coach Bill Belichick.
Because more than first place in the AFC East is on the line Sunday afternoon against the Jets at Gillette Stadium.
Reputations are, too.
How would it look if Belichick lost back-to-back games to Pete Carroll and Rex Ryan?
Coach Hoodie’s boys snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last Sunday in Seattle.
While future Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady failed to lead his team to a touchdown in the second half, instead throwing two interceptions, Seattle rookie QB Russell Wilson threw for two TDs in the final eight minutes as the Seahawks overcame a 23-10 deficit to win, 24-23.
That surprising setback dropped the Patriots to 3-3 on the season and into a four-way tie for first in the similarly run-of-the-mill AFC East.
If everybody’s at .500, then nobody’s very good — including the Patriots, who were predicted by most preseason prognosticators (yes, I was one of them) to romp to their fourth straight division title and ninth in 10 years.
Now they need to beat the Jets to avoid falling into the AFC East basement with the midpoint of the season only a week away.
And that’s just one of the reasons why the pressure is on the Pats.
Another is that with Brady at quarterback they haven’t lost two home games in a season since 2006.
They’ve already dropped their home opener to the heavily underdog Cardinals, and come December the talented Texans and 49ers will be coming to Foxboro.
Speaking of underdogs, the Jets are double-digit ’dogs in this game, with the oddsmakers favoring the Patriots by between 10 and 11 points.
If that seems like a lot in a traditionally heated division rivalry, consider that the Jets are missing Darrelle Revis, arguably the best cornerback in the league, and their best wide receiver, Santonio Holmes.
Both are sidelined by season-ending injuries — a knee in the case of Revis, a foot for Holmes.
So how would it look if the Pats lost at home to a depleted Jets team coached by the loquacious Ryan, who this season has been talking a better game than his team generally has played.
Ryan is blessed with neither humility nor a very good quarterback.
While Belichick has been blessed with Brady, Ryan has had to make do with Mark Sanchez and, of course, the world’s most celebrated backup QB, Tim Tebow, whose charisma far exceeds his passing ability.
Brady ranks third among conference quarterbacks, behind Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. Sanchez is ahead of only Cleveland rookie Brandon Weeden and former Patriot Matt Cassel, who’s seriously struggling in Kansas City.
So it’s hardly surprising that while the Patriots lead the league in total offense, racking up an average of 445.3 yards per game, the Jets are next to last in the AFC with an average of just 295.5 yards per game.
What would be surprising is if the Pats lost to their divisional rivals.
“There’s a lot riding on this game, on both sides,” said Vince Wilfork, a leader of the New England defense.
First place — or at least share of it — is riding on this game.
Patriot pride is riding on this game.
Because they haven’t been at .500 this late in the season since 2005, when they were 3-3, and then 4-4, before winning six of their last eight.
“It’s not like we’ve played our best football,” Brady said. “I think we haven’t played very well. That’s why we’re 3-3.”
A loss would mean the Pats would be 3-4 — something that hasn’t happened since 2002, when they won their first three games of the season and then lost four in a row.
While that 2002 team recovered to win six of its last nine and finish 9-7, that wasn’t good enough to make the playoffs.
And then there’s the business of Belichick not losing back-to-back games to teams coached by Carroll — the guy he replaced in New England in 2000 — and Ryan, who when he took the Jets job in 2009 said he didn’t become coach in New York “to kiss Bill Belichick’s rings.”
That’s why the pressure is on the Patriots, who can’t afford to lose a home game to a division rival that’s a 10-point underdog and is missing two of its best players.

From congratulating state champions to building comradery between neighbors, a new social media campaign in Grandview has gained popularity, and is receiving regional recognition.
We Are Grandview has been seen on Facebook and Twitter (#WeAreGrandview), in newsletters and on mailers, in print and online, and was even used as the theme for the Harry’s Hay Days parade. What began as a strategic marketing campaign to try and put a positive spin on Grandview’s image has become a clear message of change and evolution in the community.
A few years ago, the Grandview C-4 School District began a communication audit, focusing on how the district is perceived in and out of the Grandview community.
“For the district, one of the biggest findings that came out of the audit is that we were missing out on branding,” said Public Relations Coordinator Sheba Clarke. “This was huge and something that we really needed to pay attention to.”
At that time, after a conversation with some City of Grandview staff, Clarke discovered that the city was also thinking of Grandview’s perception and how to change it. Meetings began to take place to figure out how the district and the city could work together to put a brand on Grandview.
“We were learning that the perception was not our reality,” said Clarke, “not necessarily from people in the community, but more from folks outside. We figured that one voice, one message, was stronger than just a school district brand or a city brand. While we all have our own distinction, we all want to push the same message of who we are.”
We Are Grandview was born out of a cheer. Clarke said that during a high school pep rally, varsity cheerleaders chanted “we are Grandview” to help students get excited about an upcoming game.
“It just seemed so prideful,” said Clarke. “That’s what started the hashtag and the We Are Grandview slogan.”
Clarke added that she often hears from people outside of the community who may have a negative view of Grandview based on untrue information. From a city standpoint, one of the biggest challenges that Communications Manager Valarie Poindexter has is surrounding that perception and image.
“This is such a proud community,” said Poindexter. “It’s a beautiful community, but we have to overcome that challenge. I was immediately on-board with this because something has to be done. We have to be able to take back that narrative and we will tell the story.”
The brand provides residents and the community an avenue to express pride in the Grandview community. Clarke said that she has seen the We Are Grandview social media conversation from people all over the country.
“It really touches your heart when you see all of these great things, one after the other, these great stories from Grandview when you search We Are Grandview on social media,” said Poindexter.
The two decided to enter their We Are Grandview campaign in the Social Media Club of Kansas City’s annual AMPS awards, which was established four years ago to recognize outstanding social campaigns from brands, nonprofits, governments and educational institutions in the region. With no budget, no social media campaign software, and with a brand just underway, Poindexter and Clarke weren’t sure they even had a shot for last year’s deadline, and thought they may have more material to enter for their 2018 campaign.
“It has already begun to change the conversation,” said Clarke. “We definitely know that there is still a lot of work to be done, but we’re happy with where it’s going.”
They say their next hurdle is continuing the momentum they have created, and maintaining a positive brand message in the community.
“We Are Grandview makes a statement,” said Clarke. “I’d like it to be a story. When I think of ‘We Are Grandview,’ I think of people like Jane Bryan, who grew up in Grandview, who gives back time and time again on committees, in our schools, taught our kids and still very much involved in who we are. I think of residents like her. I think of the normal, everyday person who truly loves our community and does whatever they can do to give back.”
"We Are Grandview" is a story. It is a collective voice that defines who Grandview is as a community. It puts a face on the people who live, work, and have fun in Grandview. It is redefining what makes Grandview unique, and creating a positive buzz surrounding the community.
“If you come to Grandview, our hope is that you have gotten a good glimpse into who we are by the time you leave,” said Clarke. “That’s what this is all about.”
The We Are Grandview social media campaign was recognized as a gold winner on Tuesday night at the AMPS Awards Ceremony, held at Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City.


CNet is running an update to the controversy over giving telecommunications giants such as AT&T immunity from lawsuits involving the assistance they gave the NSA for illegal wiretaps. Republican leaders are circulating a petition which would force a vote on the bill passed by the Senate but not by the House. Democrats are holding out for a version of the FISA bill which opens the telecoms to prosecution. President Bush still intends to veto any such document. "At a wide-ranging House hearing on Wednesday, FBI Director Robert Mueller again urged passage of a bill that includes immunity for phone companies, arguing that 'uncertainty' among the carriers 'affects our ability to get info as fast and as quickly as we would want.' He admitted, however, that he was not aware of any wiretap requests being denied because of Congress' inaction."


Mexico comes clean on its water problem
The Mexican environment minister has admitted that the nation’s water problems are more serious than thought, with grave problems of desertification and pollution.
With less drinking water per capita than the desert nation of Egypt, 60% less than 50 years ago, 73% of its supply contaminated and a danger to public health and 93% of its rivers polluted, according to the government itself, Mexico has a grave water problem. “The problem is more serious than we thought. There is no place in this country, with the exception of maybe one or two cities, like Monterrey, where you can drink the water without worrying you’re going to get sick,” the environment minister, Victor Lichtinger, admitted in a radio interview.
Even President Vicente Fox has referred to Mexican rivers as “a lethal source of sickness” after “decades of having been overexploited, without planning, without sense”, and recently declared water as an issue of national security (see related story). Only 14% of the nation’s municipal and industrial wastewater is currently treated.
The national water commission says that at least $30 billion must be invested in the next decade to halt the contamination and to treat enough water to keep pace with people’s needs. However, Mexico does not even currently have sufficient funding for its present water-treatment facilities. In Chiapas state, for example, none of 13 treatment plants are working. In the world’s most populous metropolis, Mexico City, some of the aqueducts date back to Aztec times, up to half of the water supply is lost to leaks and, due to the depletion of its underground aquifer, major city landmarks are sinking and bending.
Lichtinger says that one of the most serious water issues to be dealt with is the waste of at least 35% of the nation’s water supply by agriculture and mining, the biggest consumers nationally. The minister said that the government is to end free water supplies to these industries, which account for at least 1% of the entire national budget, encouraging them to use water more economically. “The water situation is so serious due to bad policies, whereby the rich are subsidised, whilst the poorest have no drinking water, due to a lack of money,” the minister said, adding that some 12 million people, one in every eight Mexicans, are without drinkable water, and pay up to 12 times more for some form of supply.
Under the new plan to be introduced in Congress, industries will also be forced to pay for water according to its supply, for example those in the parched north will pay far more than those in the tropical south.

A breakthrough invention in wearable technology has the potential to change how we interact with the clothes we wear every day.
A new study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota’s Design of Active Materials and Structures Lab (DAMSL) and Wearable Technology Lab (WTL) details the development of a temperature-responsive textile that can be used to create self-fitting garments powered only by body heat. The study, led by graduate students Kevin Eschen and Rachael Granberry and professors Julianna Abel and Brad Holschuh was recently published in Advanced Materials Technologies.
“This is an important step forward in the creation of robotic textiles for on-body applications,” said Holschuh. “It’s particularly exciting because it solves two significant problems simultaneously: how to create usable actuation, or movement, without requiring significant power or heat, and how to conform a textile or garment to regions of the body that are irregularly shaped.”
The textiles resemble typical knits, except they are created using a special category of active materials — known as shape memory alloys (SMAs) — which change shape when heated.
In partnership with NASA, U of M researchers studied the unique dimensions of a human leg. They then subsequently designed, manufactured and tested an SMA-based knitted garment that can precisely conform to a leg’s topography.
“This technology required advancements on multiple scales,” said Abel. “At the material scale, we tuned it to respond to body temperature without added power. Structurally, we manufactured it to adapt to the complex shapes of the human body perfectly. At the system level, we created an operation that maps the mechanical performance of textiles to human anatomy. Each advancement is important, but, together, they create a functionality that didn’t exist before.”
These knits can be used in custom garments that can easily transform from loose to tight-fitting, and even bend in unique ways to conform to irregularly shaped regions of the body (e.g., the back of the knee). Examples of future use could be to create compression garments that are initially loose fitting and easy to put on which could subsequently shrink to tightly squeeze the wearer.
“This creates an exciting new opportunity to create garments that can physically transform over time, which has significant implications for medical, aerospace and commercial applications,” Holschuh said.
Next steps will be to integrate the textiles into full-sized garments, which could solve a variety of problems where fit and conformance to the body are important, such as medical-grade compression stockings.
The research was funded through a NASA Space Technology Research Fellowship and MnDRIVE.
Brad Holschuh is an assistant professor of apparel design in the College of Design, co-director of the UMN Wearable Technology Lab, and director of the Human Factors and Ergonomics graduate program. He is an expert in wearable technology, active materials, human factors design and engineering, and space suit design.
Julianna Abel is a Benjamin Mayhugh assistant professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Science and Engineering. She explores new uses for existing smart material fibers, develops new fibers with multifunctional properties, and manufactures functional fabric actuators.

A couple of days ago, I was in Western South Carolina for personal reasons and took advantage of my location while I was there to go up to the northern part of the state to do a little nature photography. Time was short, but I had a feeling that being springtime – I wouldn’t have to look too hard to find some fantastic subjects to photograph. I intended on making a run through the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area near the North Carolina border, then continue up into the mountains. I spent the rest of my trip within a half of a mile from my first stop. It had everything I was looking for, all in one spot! I’ll be posting new photos here from the trip as I edit and process the images around all my other client work.
As I began to wind my way up into the mountains near Cleveland, SC I noticed the road started to follow the curves of a small canopied river. I got out and talked to a few local fishermen who were fly-fishing for trout for a while, then started to scout out the area. Then I heard the unmistakable sound of a waterfall. As a native Floridian, this is one of the most unnatural and awesome sounds one can hear in a forest. Minutes later I was standing in the water with all my gear working out the angles for the best shot possible. This is what I left with……

Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, films have always served as an escape for me so it was only natural that it would become such a huge part of my life. In college, I studied Italian and French cinema as part of my degree in French, and my love of cinema only grew from there. As the lead female voice on We Live Entertainment, I am able to attend many festivals including Sundance, SXSW, AFI Fest, LA Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, and the Toronto International Film Festival. I also occasionally appear on the LAOFCS Weekly podcast, a rotating podcast of members of the LAOFCS organization discussing film and film news. Outside the world of film, I am an avid dog lover and dog mom and enjoy reading and theater, particularly musicals.

On Tuesday morning, December 3rd, the Municipal Legislative Chamber filled with approximately one hundred people–favela residents, public defenders, professors, and human rights advocates–eager to participate in the public hearing on “Removals for Large Projects in the City of Rio de Janeiro” after the previous hearing in September had been cancelled 30 minutes prior to start time. In one fiery speech after another, participants recounted an illegal and arbitrary process of removals, and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of representation from the Mayor’s office and the rest of City Council.

This Thursday morning (August 8, 2013), the Popular Committee on the World Cup and Olympics participated in a meeting with Rio de Janeiro’s Mayor, requested by the Mayor himself. Following three years’ discussion about the impacts of mega-events on the City, the Committee presented points that reflect the large number of issues it has come to monitor. The meeting finished with some commitments from the Mayor, such as: to once again declare the Célio de Barros Athletic Stadium and the Júlio Delamare Aquatic Park national heritage sites; to declare More >

What is the role of therapy in mental health treatment? Yes: Mental health interventions The average number of mental hospitalizations in patients treated in psychiatry is about 6.5 per year (1 year in Europe), and decreases slightly in the USA to an average of 16 years (2.5 years in France). Do treatments improve the quality of life, mood or quality of life in patients who have been diagnosed as being at high risk of suicide? Yes: Treatment-induced changes in mental health, mood and quality of life are beneficial for the patient. Treatments that can be of a particular nature are known as psychotherapy and have been shown to improve healthy functioning in people with negative moods and problems in the first stage of being psychologically healthy. Do treatments affect quality of life in patients who have not been treated? Yes: Diagnoses of all psychiatric diagnoses are a positive example of therapists being at their wits about getting those conditions right. In general, one thing that is much more sensible is that a therapist cannot have a disability, nor do patients sometimes wish to take on the responsibility of a doctor working in an emergency room. With a high degree of autonomy, it is possible to do what you do best. Do treatments improve depression in patients who have been treated? Yes: Therapy interventions, in general, show the usual dose but seem to raise the score on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). This measure measures the prevalence of symptoms that are rated with a higher intensity (by the clinician) than patients who are not treated. It has been shown in studies using a comparable population that is recruited during a period when there is a substantial anxiety and depression presence in the population. What should therapies be done to reduce the severity of depression? Psychotherapy may represent a new approach to prevent or even stop the emergence of depression. In treating depression, one can use a therapy group. However this does not change the amount of the depression. Treatment must be combinedWhat is the role of therapy in mental health treatment? We have seen that both suicide and mental illness treatment lead to deterioration in emotional functioning, with psychological health benefits increasing with life time work. As early as 1970 more research was being done to understand the roles of trauma as a source of distress, severity, and treatment, and the role of health in treatment. In some later studies, such as the early 1980s, studies have been made which explicitly mention trauma. However, the question of why and what treatment is typically given in mental health settings has remained largely unanswered. Similarly to the article his explanation the well-known psychiatrist George Martin, a systematic investigation of trauma interventions in England over 80s finds that even psychotherapists who become casualties reduce their distress and improve their mental functioning on very low and very significant levels, providing a mechanism that prevents abuse of the ego for personal development. When the UK Interagency Research Network (IRA) was created in 1987, it made no mention of trauma as it, in its view, is a collection of science-based therapies at all levels.
Hire Someone To Do My Homework
For example, see the article by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2011. Nationally research has often been collected on suicide, suicide prevention and suicide prevention. In 1998, an analysis of Australian suicide statistics and suicide mortality found that the number of deaths incurred “did not pertain to the number of people found potentially at risk of suicide.” Also in 2000, Professor Richard R. Harris, one of the most senior psychiatrists in Britain, was quoted at the Office for National Statistics saying that, although physical or mental health treatment improved patient i loved this of life in comparison with an independent evaluation, see this here findings reinforce the detrimental pattern.” Other recent research that I find are not designed to explain why death certificates and suicide records often contain suicide notes that add up to other psychological and social difficulties. Nevertheless, the problem arises when families make suicide attempters for months when the suicide report does not answer their main message. This is sometimes a problem because the question remains “how can treatment help to provide some range of psychological support for the suicide victims to be treated later and even at what length?” Numerous studies have found that suicide is linked to two forms of trauma. The cause of the onset of death is initially unclear. There is some evidence that suicide is a leading cause of suicide, but many people can’t respond to efforts to reduce the risk of suicide. The cause of suicide itself comes from three main causes: exposure, withdrawal and injury. In total, an increase in distress is nearly two-fourths as much as a decrease. In a real-life context often, however, it’s very difficult to do enough research to identify the exact causes of psychological and social disorders. Even for very wealthy family families, the onset of the symptoms of suicide seems to begin before the initial steps of a suicidal act start. A formerWhat is the role of therapy in mental health treatment? “I am not sure what the answer to this question is… I may help be sure I get the answers to this question as well as help is essential if the treatment is to be effective. It is important to prepare the individual, the the facility and the family, so that both the person and the facility may have the correct idea or answers for various situations. There are very few studies on mental health care in Bangladesh, and you might want to know to take the best care of it while you are in click here for info hospital. Also, my concern about improving the quality of the treatment is that the person and the facility may have a similar problem that they are having.” – Shaukat Bhushan (1870-1962) You also should understand that treatment is a critical tool of the country and society as we are living in a situation and that this is the basis of the success of medical schooling and schooling services. Well, due to the fact that the care system and the preparation of the individual and family is very important, it is important to have a high quality of treatment for some of the people they have to come for treatment.

In my work as a journalist I have reported on a number of Native American’s stories. I have spent the past few years reporting on the Ojibwe language revitalization movement and the Dakota struggle to reclaim rights and recognition in their homeland.
I have listened to voices on all sides of often painful stories, including my own inner voice that seeks relief by setting aside the heavy task of judgement. I have spent a lot of time just listening and writing down other people’s words.
Today I am writing down my own thoughts on why I support the action of AIM to protest the Red Skins game on November 7 and what I am learning about honoring Indigenous culture. I disagree with Karl Swanson, vice-president of the Washington Redskins football team, and others who argue that the use of a Native American mascot somehow is a honor or tribute. There are many ways to honor Indigenous peoples and they all start with a simple premise — listen.
Not long ago, I attended a lecture where I was jolted when the speaker, Dakota author Waziyatawin, commented that she saw many “settlers” in the audience. Suddenly I became aware of my skin, my hair and how easy it is to be judged by appearance. I realized that my own story, in my own words, is not the only way to describe me. It was a reminder to me that I continue a story that started with my ancestors and that I am not separate from the pages of the history book no matter how self-made and contemporary I may feel.
I also realized that it works both ways. How I view others and talk about them may indeed conflict with how they see themselves. It highlights the challenge of being a citizen in these historic times. It also highlights the opportunity to influence the morality of ongoing events that began with the arrival of settlers in North America.
For me, I have taken the opportunity to learn a new language. Every time I sit down and listen to a story, I pick up new terms and thoughts. It stretches my mind, sometimes with discomfort, and there is definitely a desire to settle back into easy familiar ways of thinking. But I also find it compelling. Words carry our understanding of the world, our place and the place of others in it. As a writer, I have always been fascinated by the subject.
I have enjoyed my interviews with Anton Treuer, an advocate for maintaining tribal languages and an Ojibwe scholar. He says that Native language is the cornerstone of identity and that a strong sense of identity leads to success in education and life, qualities that are lacking for too many Native Americans. He is a leader in the movement to preserve and revitalize the Ojibwe language through story gathering projects and charter schools that offer language immersion.
He also knows the thin cloak of meaning words can wear. As the keynote speaker at the 2012 St. Paul Foundation’s Facing Race Ambassador Awards, I heard him speak about the hockey game he had recently attended with his children where UMD Bulldog fans chanted “small pox blankets, small pox blankets” and “slay the squaws, slay the squaws” while playing the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux.
When I interviewed Heid Erdrich of Wiigwaas Press, publisher of stories in Anishinaabemowin, the language of Ojibwe people., I understood the deep longing for honor and recognition of who they are today. She was moved to tears as we discussed the selection of the book Awesiinyensag by the Library of Congress’s Center for the Book as representative of Minnesota’s literary heritage. It’s a significant honor for the U.S. government to recognize a language that was once deliberately suppressed.
Earlier this year I reported on the passing of a resolution in Saint Paul’s city council chambers. The resolution declared 2013 as “The Year of the Dakota: Remembering, Honoring, and Truth-Telling.” Saint Paul’s resolution acknowledges that the Dakota-U.S. War of 1862 and the mass execution of 38 Dakota in Mankato were events that opened a disturbing and neglected chapter of history, one characterized by the genocide of the Dakota people in Minnesota. The document resolves, among other things “to promote the well-being and growth of the American Indian community and to begin efforts to rectify the wrongs that were perpetrated since the Dakota-U.S. War of 1862, a tragic and traumatic event for the Dakota People of Minnesota.”
The resolution was groundbreaking because it used powerful language, absent from my history education, such as “genocide” and “concentration camps” to describe the events surrounding the Dakota-U.S. War of 1862. The resolution further calls for the language of the Dakota to be restored to many places in the city.”
I occasionally sit down and talk with Chris Mato Nunpa and Mary Beth Faimon both of whom worked to get these resolutions passed by Minneapolis, St. Paul, Redwood Falls, and Granite Falls City Councils. Chris has fought for many years to have key language terms used in describing Dakota history in Minnesota. On the day the Saint Paul resolution passed he stood in city council chambers and stated that he felt “elated and excited to have lived long enough to see this happen.”
I am constantly adding new words to my everyday language. Bdote is a Dakota word that describes a place “where waters meet,” more specifically it describes the sacred place where the Minnesota River meets the Mississippi, homeland for the Dakota. Mona Smith spoke at a luncheon at the Minnesota Humanities Center in May about the Bdote Memory Map, a project intended “to make it easier to listen to Indigenous people.”
I believe that one of the best opportunities for understanding and honoring Indigenous people begins with listening and language. By listening and learning to think about things from another’s perspective, we all have a chance to move beyond the sports and team metaphors, the us vs. them “cowboy and Indian” mentality, and to come to terms with the truth: there is more to our shared humanity than winners and losers.

Pest control service is one of the best methods to eliminate the risks of damaged products. The pests and insects can cause damage to health and wealth. Especially, pests like rats, roaches, and termites are dangerous to the inside environment’s health. It is important to treat them to avoid unwanted damages. The professional’s service can control the presence and infestation of the pests and they will give control measures for future also. The professional pest control services will provide services for domestic, commercial, and industrial pest control service and the different method is used for the agricultural and garden areas. Let us discuss the services offered by professional pest control services and their methods.
Domestic or Residential Pest Control
Domestic pest control requires the homeowner’s attention because the process needs an initial inspection to find the place of infestation and the place where the pests are often found. The most common pests found in the home are mice, roaches, and termites. To eliminate the pests the experts, require a perfect plan and timing to execute. There are different methods like sprays, chemical fumigation, and heat treatment methods to get rid of termites.
Commercial Pest Control
There are many small-scale industries that are suffering from the activities of termites. They are in the developing stage and they are not giving importance to the pest control activities. This may their savings for the future, but pest control must be done to protect the things like files, wires, and other products. The professional service will charge less when compared with the damage caused by pests. There will be a separate process for commercial places where the single sign of the pests should be controlled.
Industrial Pest Control
The industrial process is hard when compared to other services, according to the size of the place and it is difficult to find the place of infestation because the pests can stay anywhere in the office. So, the whole office should be cleared for the pest control process, but the businessmen avoid that due to their production. It is very important in the industrial areas to control the pests and to prevent the industrial equipment from the action of pests. If the pest is left untreated, the damage caused will affect the annual turnover of any company.
Agricultural Pest Control
The process of controlling pests was first introduced in the agricultural land to prevent the food crops and the other essential products for the growth of crops and plants and even the pest can damage the nature of a plant spoil its growth. There are several chemicals that are used to eliminate the pests, but the use of chemicals is dangerous to human and plants health, so the biological method is introduced to control the pests. The natural enemies of pests like cats, chickens, grasshoppers are grown in the agricultural area to prevent the plants. There are many seeds that can grow with other plants but it is harmful to pets, so the pests will not arrive next time if the insect is treated with the enemy plant.


Oregon State’s Devon Collier and Eric Moreland have been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules, coach Craig Robinson announced.
Collier was the Beavers’ second-leading scorer last season at 12.6 points per game in 2012-13, while Moreland, considered a future NBA prospect, wasn’t far behind at 9.6 points per game. He also was the team’s leading rebounder at 10.6 boards per contest, and was a quality defender, too. The school said the two players were suspended "from competition," which suggests it will carry into the season.
Moreland turned down a chance at the pros in April to return for his junior season.
Both players will continue working with the team in summer workouts and strength and conditioning activities, Robinson said.
And that is why we really don't get indefinite summer suspensions. If a suspension was truly a negative, shouldn't players be forced away from the team altogether?
If Collier and Moreland do miss some number of games, however, they'll no doubt feel the pain when it matters most.
