Spartans show they can play defense
The second win of the season and a defensive gem were the results for the Somerset boys soccer team in its two games last week.
The Spartans earned their second win of the season Tuesday, Oct. 4 when they went to Spooner, recording a 3-1 win over the Rails. The Spartans hosted Middle Border Conference leader Amery last Thursday. The Spartans showed they've learned how to play defense this season. They put up a tough battle throughout the 90 minutes of rain, losing to the Warriors 3-0.
Somerset made two trips to Spooner last week. The game was originally scheduled for Monday, but it was stopped after 13 minutes due to lightning. Somerset led 1-0 at the time, but that goal from Aaron Shartin-Folkert didn't count as the two teams started fresh the next afternoon.
When the game was rebooted, neither team could manage a goal in the first half. Spooner scored off a penalty kick eight minutes into the second half.
"That motivated the guys a little bit," said Somerset coach Bill Roll.
The Spartans got a needed break 10 minutes later. Elliot Olin booted a long through ball ahead to Eli DeJongh. The ball was just out of DeJongh's reach, but the ball did strike a Spooner defender. That redirected the ball enough where it caromed into the Spooner net.
"That was the spark we needed, honestly," Roll said.
Somerset now had the momentum. Two minutes later, Shartin-Folkert sent a short through ball to James Clute. Clute was able to release his shot just before he collided with the Spooner keeper. The shot went in and Clute went down. He injured a foot, causing him to be unavailable for the game at Amery.
With the injury to Clute, Erik Osorio was moved from defense to Clute's forward position. In the 80th minute, Osorio scored Somerset's final goal. Logan Giossi sent a pass ahead to Osorio, who was able to get behind the defense. While cutting in from the right side, he was able to cleanly beat the Spooner keeper.
The Spartans went to a novel defensive plan Thursday against Amery and it worked well. The Spartans made a major commitment to defense, dropping their midfielders deep into the defensive zone. And after Amery's Galen Coy scored the first goal of the day, Roll took the defensive plan another step further. He had Olin shadow Coy the rest of the game. Amery got one more goal in the first half and one in the second half, but the Warriors had to work hard for every shot they got.
Roll said Osorio's effort on defense was one of the keys.
"Erik's done a really nice job since we moved him back there," Roll said. "Erik really solidifies one side of the defense for us."
When these teams met earlier in the season, Amery won 10-0. Roll said another reason for the close game Thursday was the work of Spartan keeper Brennan Sheridan.
"He made some fantastic saves," Roll said.
The Spartans are scheduled to complete their regular season this week with a home game against Baldwin-Woodville on Thursday and a game at Menomonie on Friday. The Spartans will then shift their plans to the WIAA Division 3 tournament series. It's likely the Spartans will get the eighth seed in the regional bracket, with seeding voting being held this week. If the Spartans do get the eighth seed, they will open tournament play at home next Tuesday by hosting the ninth seed, which likely will be Spooner.


Thailand is apparently rethinking the abolition of the 90-day immigration notification for some groups of foreigners, with the aim of applying to expats and long-term tourists. The aim of the government's strategy is to increase tourism income and investments in the country.

According to a survey, there has been a sharp rise in unemployment in Thailand due to the corona measures. This goes hand in hand with financial hardship.Between March 15 and 18, Suan Dusit interviewed 1,155 people in Thailand about their financial situation and current employment status.
The government wants to reopen Thailand to tourism. The quarantine should be removed from October 1.Another notable announcement is that as of April 1, the quarantine will be reduced from 14 days to ten days.For vaccinated foreigners, it will later be reduced to seven days before quarantine for those who received the vaccine will be completely abolished on October 1.

The quarantine could be removed from January 2022.First of all, the so-called area quarantine is to be introduced from April 1. Tourists must be quarantined for seven days from April to September if they have been vaccinated against Covid-19 in their home countries.

do not fund race on the theater of the absurd by showing yourself to be one with this guy, really. he says the tornado was a conspiracy, the tornado. can we agree it is over now, republicans, going on his show, really, can we agree, please? a west point sergeant accused of secretly filming female cadets, some of them in the bathroom. president obama plans a major speech on counter-terrorism policy, new revelation that's drone strikes have killed four u.s. citizens overseas since 2009. plus, jodi arias will have to wait a little longer for her sentence. and inside the storm, brand new video of the oklahoma tornado as it was happening.
good morning. london police say wednesday's brutal attack of a british soldier on the street was a terrorist attack. nbc news obtained video of the attack and scene and we have to warn you the material is graphic. this morning, two men are under arrest. you can see one of them here. investigators say they ambushed and killed the soldier with machetes in broad daylight. they went on to rant about islam, shouting at bystanders and calling them extremists. as you can imagine, the incident is raising questions in the uk and here at home about security in the face of a new kind of terror attack. nbc's anna bell roberts is at the scene of the attack for us this morning in southeast london with the very latest on the investigation. annabell, good morning. >> good morning, mara. the two suspects spent the night under armed guard in hospital. the question is whether or not they were acting alone with this attack. now david cameron, the british
prime minister, cut short a visit to europe and said the country will not buckle in the face of terrorism. he is holding committee this morning, cobra, it's called, looking at the government's response to this attack. but it's really the brazen nature of at tack that shocked people here. the fact that these two men basically attacked this man in broad daylight at a busy road intersection and stood around for 20 minutes waiting for the police to turn up, engaging with police and bystanders. those are the image that's really shocked these people. the great fear is that this act could provoke a series of retaliation attacks in communities up and down the country. and that and the fear that this attack has spread. mara? >> annabell roberts, thank you. a u.s. army sergeant is charged with secretly filming
female cadets. the staff member at west point is accused of putting hidden cameras in the showers and bathrooms to tape women who are naked or partly undressed. defense secretary chuck hagel was concerned and disturbed by the allegations. it's just the latest sexual misconduct incident in the military following a pentagon report estimating that as many as 26,000 service members may have been sexually assaulted in the last year alone. later today, president obama will give what's being billed as a major speech on counter-terrorism. he's expected to discuss the u.s. prison at guantanamo bay and the on going war on terror. his remarks could be used to defend the administration's drone program after an admission from the attorney general. nbc's tracie potts joins us live from washington with a preview. good morning. >> good morning. the big picture here is that with al qaeda central organization essentially decimated, there are other threats from al qaeda affiliates, even homegrown terrorists inspired by al qaeda.
that's what the president plans to address today and one of the tools in america's arsenal are the use of the unmanned drones. the president today will lay out in detail, we are told, justification for the legal use of these drones. and now in a new letter from the attorney general to congress for first time the administration is acknowledging that four americans had been killed since 2009 by these drone strikes that he says are legal although he told congress there's no plan to use them inside the united states. also today in that speech at the national defense university, president obama expected to talk about embassy security in light of four americans who died at the consulate in benghazi. he'll talk about beefing up security around the world and about what was a first term goal that the president has not yet been able to do, closing the military prison at guantanamo b bay. all of that as part of his speech on terrorism today. >> tracie potts, thank you so
much for that. and now it's timent f for y first look at scrambled politics. ted cruz is running out of friends in washington. wednesday on the senate floor he said he didn't trust republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. his colleague senator john mccain called that position bizarre. former secretary of defense donald rumsfeld supported ending don't ask, don't tell but so sure about same sex marriage. he's not sure if marriage equality is a civil rights issue. >> i was proud of the work that the congress did in the 1964 legislation and 1965 legislation. i guess i just don't equate the two. it's not a subject i'm knowledgeable about. the rumsfeld rule here is i don't know. gun rights advocates are suing the state of connecticut over its tough new crackdown on firearms. they claim laws ban aggravated assault weapons and large capacity magazines violate their
second amendment rights. paul ryan is taking a break from writing the federal budget to write his own book. the national review says he'll combine personal history with his political philosophy and touch on his 2012 vp run with mitt romney. and who hasn't misplaced a few million bucks every now and then? president obama's billionaire nominee to be the next commerce secretary can raise her hand in that. in disclosures, she underestimated her income by some $80 million. she said it was an accident and has since filed a correction. and that's your morning's dish of scrambled politics. turning now to oklahoma where the ef-5 tornado's damage toll could be upwards of $2 billion. all 24 victims have been identified and today the first funeral for one of the child victims as the community of moore continues the long road to
recovery. sarah, good morning. >> good morning. residents here waking up to another day of cleanup as storms roll in, lightning in the distance which will hamper that cleanup process. first funeral today for one of the 24 killed in the tornado. we have learned that the youngest victim, just four months old. the federal government is pledging aid to clean up but today at this moment the most impactful thing is the number of boots on the ground. volunteers, national guardsmen going door to door helping people sort through the rubble to find sentimental items and things they can take with them, pieces really of their former life before everything is bulldozed and that cleanup begins. right now preliminary damage estimates topping $2 billion. it could be several months before everything is cleaned up and rebuilt. back to you. >> all right. sarah, thanks so much for that. for more on the storm, bill karins is here. you have new video of the
tornado itself. >> this is probably the most photographed and, you know, videoed tornados of all time. this was an angle and view i never seen before. this is from a storm shelter at ground level. >> unbelievable. >> it looks like the tornado is across the street. the tree across the street loses all the branch and leaves. it wasn't right underneath where the fff-4 and 5 damage is. at one point you see tires flying through the air along with a ton of other debris. >> power of that storm is just unbelievable. >> just shows you how fast and quickly it happens, too. yeah, $2 billion. that's no surprise. yesterday thankfully we made it through another day without any tornadoes, that's two days in a row. we saw a lot of wind damage though and a lot of hail reports. upstate new york and areas of pennsylvania got nailed two days in a row. today will make it three. we also have a slight risk of severe weather there in north texas and areas not far from
oklahoma city. so i mention that area from the northeast through pennsylvania. later on today from burlington, vermont, albany, new york, scranton and hudson valley outside of new york city, poconos through philadelphia, altoona areas and even washington, d.c., we all have a chance of seeing a few strong thunderstorms during the day to day. the next threat, west of oklahoma city. maybe isolated tornadoes. that's a lot of rural country. hopefully the storms will stay there. the northeast and again a little section there of north texas at risk for strong storms today. i don't expect any big huge tornadoes. >> that's good news. thank you so much, bill. just ahead, we'll take you back to oklahoma and speak with a heroic teacher who helped get all of her children to safety. plus, an impasse in the jodi arias trial as jurors struggle to decide her fate. flying is old hat for business travelers.
the act of soaring across an ocean in a three-hundred-ton rocket doesn't raise as much as an eyebrow for these veterans of the sky. however, seeing this little beauty over international waters is enough to bring a traveler to tears. we're putting the wonder back into air travel, one innovation at a time. the new american is arriving. actually it can. neutrogena® ultra sheer.

the jury deciding the fate of convicted murderer jodi arias can't decide. jurors say they're deadlocked on whether to give her the death penalty or life in prison. sources say boston bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev and another man murdered three people in massachusetts two years ago. the other suspect was a friend of tsarnaev and confessed to the murders he was killed wednesday after allegedly attacking an fbi agent. the city of chicago has approved closing 49 underperforming or low enrollment public schools. it's the largest mass school closing in u.s. history affect something 30,000 students. and the teen birthrate in 2011 hit a record low. federal data says 31 out of every 1,000 babies born that year were to women ages 15 to 19. that's about half the rate reported in 1991. in the wake of the oklahoma tornado, teachers are emerging as heroes as they almost always

|Ayat al-Qarmezi Image via Amnesty International|
Ayat al-Qarmezi, 20, a poet and student was arrested in March for reading out a poem at a pro-reform rally in the capital Manama. She has been charged with "incitement to hatred of the regime" and has reportedly been tortured while in detention.
Its lyrics include the lines "We are the people who will kill humiliation and assassinate misery/ Don’t you hear their cries, don’t you hear their screams?".


The Vancouver Park Board is weighing bylaw changes that would allow overnight camping in city parks, while a neighbourhood group is calling on the city, provincial and federal governments to find a new location for dozens of people who are camping in Strathcona Park in the city’s Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.
The Park Board, which is responsible for parks in the City of Vancouver, was scheduled to meet Monday evening to discuss a staff recommendation that the city amend its bylaws to allow overnight camping.
A current bylaw prohibits tenting in parks, but it hasn’t been enforced in light of a series of court decisions that have established that people who are homeless have a constitutional right to set up temporary shelters on public lands if other housing isn’t available.
In Strathcona Park, meanwhile, dozens of tents have been pitched in an encampment that organizers have dubbed Camp KT – a reference to Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – and that has become a visible reminder of a provincewide housing crunch.
In a July 12 open letter, the Strathcona Residents’ Association demanded action on the encampment, saying it is hurting marginalized groups, “particularly during a pandemic where green space is extremely limited.”
In the letter, the SRA called for “creative solutions to this complex problem,” including potentially moving the camp to another site.
Shane Simpson, B.C.‘s Minister for Social Development and Poverty Reduction, said he sympathized with the SRA’s perspective but that he expected the encampment to remain where it is, for at least a while.
The province continues to focus on finding permanent housing for people, Mr. Simpson said.
“I’m sympathetic to the concern about the impact [the encampment] has on a community park,” Mr. Simpson said. “On the other hand, the folks in the tent city there, I don’t expect they’re going anywhere soon.
“It’s a challenging situation between legitimate concerns about people wanting to make sure they can access their park and a group of people living in the park – the majority of whom need a place to live.”
Mr. Simpson said the province has bought hotels and is building housing to help get people into homes but needs more help from the federal government.
A city spokeswoman said Monday in an e-mail that the city does not control any vacant sites that would be feasible for an encampment but is working with the province to expand shelter and housing capacity to help people who are homeless, including those staying in Strathcona Park at present.
Camp spokeswoman Chrissy Brett called on the Park Board to follow the City of Victoria’s lead and allow people to “shelter in place” in municipal parks during the pandemic.
In June, Victoria City Council voted to allow people without homes to keep their tents up in permitted sheltering areas in the city. Victoria has a bylaw that prohibits all but overnight camping in city parks but that bylaw has not been enforced during the pandemic.
The city also put out a list of parks where overnight sheltering is allowed, as long as campers follow certain conditions, including staying away from environmentally sensitive areas.
At the Strathcona camp Monday, camper James Stevenson Low said he had been living in a single-room occupancy hotel but became homeless when his landlord evicted him.
Mr. Low said he preferred his tent to his room in the hotel and has been able to get access to food, running water in a nearby bathroom and medical services.
He said he had applied for social housing more than once and would accept a unit if he were offered one. “I would jump right at it,” he said. “That’s all I wish for is a home.”

Eliminating 25 jobs, including eight full-time teachers, tops the list of proposed spending cuts being reviewed by the Nantucket School Committee as a way to balance next year’s budget.
Reductions in spending on textbooks and other supplies, student programs and electives like drama and music have also been proposed in the face of a projected $1.7 million deficit. The athletics, special education and technology budgets will be discussed today. So far, however, there has been no indication of any proposed reductions in the administrative budget.
School officials were given one small bit of good news this week, when they learned that this year’s million-dollar budget shortfall has been closed thanks to money forthcoming from the state and Finance Committee to cover special-education costs and the replacement of an underground fuel tank. But less than halfway through the current fiscal year, the school system is already projecting a deficit of $1,738,640 for next year, its share of a nearly $4 million townwide deficit due primarily to a steep drop in expected revenue. The principals of all three schools made presentations to the School Committee Tuesday, outlining areas where cuts could be made in an effort to reduce school spending by $448,000 for each building. This year’s school budget topped $21.9 million.
“These cuts are not by any means final, but begin our journey in cutting,” said Nantucket Elementary School interim principal John Miller during an ad hoc budget meeting on Monday.
The elementary school, which is already struggling to work through “corrective action” after failing to meet state-mandated Adequate Yearly Progress for the fourth consecutive year, is looking to curb spending through the elimination of substitute teachers, cutting an additional $30,000 in school supplies as well as $10,500 in classroom supplies, and reducing the number of teaching assistants from 27 to 18.
“We may start moving toward having no teaching assistants in kindergarten,” said Miller. “I’m not sure we can justify, in these budget restrictions, having them. We need to move towards volunteerism.”
Miller has also indicated that $5,000 may be cut from the library’s budget, believing that the difference can be made up in donations. Last week the school received a grant of $14,143 for textbooks, which would also subsidize any loss of library funding.
School officials also acknowledged that a position in the special education department may be eliminated, as well as the conversion of one of the guidance positions to part-time.
Cyrus Peirce Middle School, which this fall made a number of controversial schedule changes this fall, has proposed using the budget cuts to revamp the schedule once again, particularly in world language and elective courses. Principal Caryl Toole presented the committee with her cuts, as well as an outline of what classes she believes will be offered in 2010.
“The ultimate goal is to eliminate French in CPS and make Spanish mandatory for every grade level,” said Toole Monday. “I’ve always wanted to have Spanish for all the kids in the middle school. I think it’s a great language.”
Jane Miller, a School Committee member and former French and Spanish teacher, acknowledged the removal of the language courses may not be the route to follow.
“From what I’m seeing, we are deciding to end French in the system,” said Miller. “I’m really against it, but there are no sacred cows. I feel that I would like to have a lot of data about this, especially how it would affect our accreditation. I still feel we need two languages, and two languages that can be used and useful. I just think it needs more study.”
Megan McNeely, co-president of the teachers’ union and a full-time French teacher in the high school, said the program is going through a period of re-growth, which is evident in the 21 seventh grade students who enrolled this year.
“I’m thrilled with the concept of putting language in the sixth grade,” said McNeely. “But we should put French there too. There are a high number of students who already speak Spanish in the school system. Where are their options? I would hate to see the elimination of the language completely.”
In addition to phasing out French, the school would also eliminate the Peer Mediation and drama programs, offering after-school options instead. Band would be significantly reduced, having students meeting only as an entire band and discontinuing sectional instruction. One of the physical education instructors would also be eliminated, in addition to two teaching assistants and one teacher.
A part-time Spanish instructor would be hired in order to complete Toole’s new model, costing approximately $25,000 to cover the increase in language students.
Nantucket High School principal John Buckey presented the most significant cuts in educational staff, projecting that three academic teachers, as well as one elective teacher, would be cut, in addition to three teaching assistants. The alternative education program would be reduced by one teacher and one teaching assistant as well. The school, in conjunction with CPS, will also eliminate Peer Mediation, keeping it only as an after-school item, as well as reducing the number of French courses offered from five to two.
“I don’t want to eliminate any programs entirely, but what can we do?” Buckey.
Buckey also suggested implementing fees in order to create revenue for the school. A materials fee would be created for art, auto, wood and consumer science courses, costing students about $40 per semester. A yearly fee of $50 may be implemented for after-school activities, with the exception of sports). High school students may also incur bus fees, or if driving to school, a $100 student permit for parking spaces behind the school. Toole also expressed interest in implementing fees, but has not yet given specifics.
“Do we really want to run the school system on the generosity of strangers?” said School Committee member Dr. Tim Lepore. “This does not look appropriate to me. We spent a lot of time here playing around with numbers. We’re talking about people and kids. Are we going to cut out physics, or are we going to cut out chemistry? We can do all of those things, but is that the appropriate role? Or should we take another point of attack? I think it’s a useful exercise, but I find it scary.”
After exceptional turnout at the Special Town Meeting Monday in support of articles that balanced this year’s municipal budget, teachers’ union co-president Page Martineau urged the committee to send a message to the town that if there is a possibility of additional funding, the teachers and staff are already interested.
“I was very proud with the amount of people that came out last night (to Special Town Meeting),” said Martineau. “I want to start beating the drum now for the possibility of an override. I think there is a lot of support for this possibility. I hope everyone is thinking override – certainly our membership is.”
After receiving confirmation that it will receive $232,000 in state “circuit-breaker” funding to cover special-education costs as well as an additional $42,000 from the Finance Committee to cover the cost of an underground oil tank replacement, the school covered this year’s $998,900 deficit, balancing this year’s budget without needing to seek external funding.
“I’m happy to see that we were able to resolve the budget issue internally,” McNeely said. “The teachers were committed to do their part and glad to be part of the solution.
The School Committee will further discuss next year’s budget today at 4 p.m. at the high school, with presentations from the athletics department as well as special education and technology.

How Does Your Summer Garden Grow?
The top 10 tips, tools and techniques to keep your plot picture-perfect this summer.
I’ve been gardening for 40 years, accumulating good habits and great tips on how to garden successfully. The best habit, however, is to go out and sniff the air, listen for the insects and be at peace with yourself and nature. And, while you’re doing this, here are 10 things to keep in mind.
1. Soil: it’s not dirt, it’s a living breathing material that we’re utterly dependent on. Treat it with respect. Never leave it exposed to the blazing sun, blanket it with compost and mulch; don’t let direct hits from a watering hose pound it into sand. Add organic matter at least twice a year.
2. The magic bullet of gardening is compost – food for your soil. Compost all green scraps from your kitchen even if you just dump them into a hole and cover up with soil. Otherwise, buy it or get it free from the city and spread it around in spring without worrying about covering bulbs and perennials. They will find their way through.
4. My hort-buddy Juliet put me on to this one: plant summer bulbs such as gladiolas, acidanthera, freesias in containers topped with a light layer of animal hair (cat or dog is good). It keeps out squirrels, caterpillars and slugs but isn’t foolproof with rabbits in her garden (none so far in mine). It works.
5. Keep Felco 2 secateurs close. They can handle most of the nipping needed on any given day. My rule is that if it needs something bigger, hire a professional. I watched my tree guy, Derek Welsh, take a bit off here and another off there as he walked and talked his way through the garden. It’s second nature to me now; therefore, no plant gets overwhelming.
6. Have a pair of old leather gloves on hand. When evergreens look like they are browning off, gently run your gloved hands over the dead-looking bits. This will leave room for new growth without inflicting any damage. And don’t be afraid to snip out the worst of the brown – you might revive the plant.
8. Control space: espalier fruit trees against a fence or wall; pleach trees, such as beeches (Fagus spp), to make a handsome tailored edge to your garden for privacy.
9. The giant urban tree is every gardener’s nightmare. Here’s what I did with my front yard’s silver maple: I had a raised bed built around it, and then backfilled with good soil. I then quickly planted perennials and small shrubs in between the big roots, then topped it with masses of compost and mulch. It’s watered slowly and deeply twice a week so that everything, especially the tree, gets a drink, and roots dive downward, not upward. The maple has survived a lot longer than anyone could imagine, and the plants thrive.
10. Epsom salts helps get rid of fungal diseases, and it’s cheap. Add a cup of it to the soil when you are about to plant a tree. Ditto with shrubs and perennials from 15 ml down to 5 ml for your annuals. This contributes minerals that help absorb phosphorus and nitrogen. Save a big cup to add to a long, hot, soaky bath at the end of your gardening day. Bliss.

A Brazilian air force officer travelling with President Jair Bolsonaro’s G20 team has been arrested after being caught with 39 kilograms of cocaine.
The officer was detained in Seville, Spain, when the back-up plane travelling to Osaka made a stopover, a statement released by the Brazilian defence ministry said.
It said, “The defence ministry informs that, on Tuesday 25 June, an air force officer suspected of transporting narcotic substances was detained in Seville airport in Spain.
“The military man is detained at the disposal of the Spanish authorities. The aeronautics command established a military police inquiry (IPM) to determine all the circumstances of the case.
“Measures to prevent such illicit acts are adopted on a regular basis. In view of this, these measures will be strengthened.”
Bolsonaro was travelling on a separate plane and reacted to the arrest on Tuesday on Twitter, saying he had asked the defence ministry to cooperate with Spanish authorities.
He said, “I immediately ordered the defence minister to cooperate with Spanish police to establish the facts and cooperate with every stage of the investigation, and to launch an investigation by the military police.”

Is salmon farming in the UAE just an implausible dream?
Over the years, I’ve heard of many ideas for new projects that seem, at first glance, to be utterly impractical. If they’re technically feasible, but enormously expensive, they can still be done. As we have seen with the world’s largest artificial port, at Jebel Ali, there are occasions when such expenditure can prove to be perfectly viable.
Some other schemes raise an eyebrow – often because they seem to overlook other constraints, like geography and the environment.
A few years ago, there was a short-lived covering of snow on the UAE’s highest peak and talk began about creating the first ski resort in the Arabian peninsula. I couldn’t help thinking that it didn’t make much sense. How often have we had natural snowfall here in the last hundred years? A couple of times? Another project, for a covered ski-slope on Jebel Hafeet, also seemed impractical.
Quite apart from the engineering task of carving great chunks out of the mountainside, degrading this important geological feature, the cost of construction and of maintaining suitable temperatures in the covered structure would surely be economically unfeasible and run contrary to any stated government policy of energy conservation. I’m glad we’ve heard little of these two schemes recently.
My sceptical eyebrow is raised at the moment because of the plan by local fish-farming enterprise Asmak to launch salmon farming here. According to the announcements late last year, the first fish should arrive in the shops by midsummer.
I’m in favour of fish farming. Stocks of commercially important fish species like the hammour in the Arabian Gulf are declining. If they can successfully be raised in fish farms, that’s to be welcomed. The same applies to other tropical fish, whether marine species like sea bream or freshwater species like tilapia. But salmon? They’re used to cold water and cool temperatures. They grow perfectly well, with the right management, in colder waters off the coasts of Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Chile and Canada, but that cannot be done here.
Asmak’s scheme involves the creation of onshore ponds, in a closed environment, where they plan to circulate and cool seawater to 13°C That’s not going to be cheap, particularly during the summer, when sea temperature can rise as high as 30°C. Off the coast of Ireland, by comparison, summer sea temperatures rarely exceed 15°C. Sea temperatures are lower still off northern Scotland and Norway, prime locations for salmon farming.
If the cooling system breaks down, even for an hour or two, the salmon will die very quickly. There’s also been little mention, so far, of the need to reduce the salinity of the Gulf’s seawater. Over the last 30 years, thanks in part to the impact of desalination plants, the Gulf’s salinity, on average, has risen to 47,000 ppm, compared to normal salinity in open oceans of 36,000 ppm.
Substantial supplies of fresh water – or, rather, desalinated water – are going to be required to dilute the cooled seawater. What is going to be the source for that? The country’s capacity for desalination and the associated power generation is already under great strain. Can we cope?
And then, of course, while it may be possible to grow salmon locally, the feed, thousands of tonnes of it, will presumably have to be imported from major producers overseas, at great expense.
A friend of mine with 40 years experience in salmon farming in Ireland, in offshore cages, tells me that he still faces problems with disease and nutrition, in much more suitable climatic and water conditions. He describes the idea of salmon-farming here as “just a dream”.
It makes good sense to farm hammour and similar warm water species. But I can’t help wondering whether the idea of producing salmon is a step too far, not just in terms of cost but also in terms of the challenge of overcoming local conditions. The trend in salmon farming worldwide is towards energy-efficient organic farming. That certainly won’t be the case here.
I note, while writing this column, that it’s being published on April 1. No, it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke. As we’re all well aware, though, the announcing of impractical ideas, like skiing in the Hajar Mountains, aren’t confined to a single day: they happen all year round. I look forward to hearing how successfully Asmak have dealt with the remarkable challenge they have set themselves.

text: I've always had some really nice friends growing up, I actually felt really good with who I hung out with, then as soon as I moved I didn't know anyone at my new school, over all I was being bullied as well, for things that were even true. I gave it time, and I did meet some actually nice people, we would all hang out and go places and do things all the time, it lasted for a while and I felt really happy to have people around me and then outta no where they stopped talking to me, As soon as I got home schooled (read my story about bullying to understand this part) we were out of contact, and that was the end of that. I never really understood why that occurred, but now I have no one, and overall I'm an only child and it gets super boring, like legit I have no friends at this point. I always think oh its me , it has to be me, I'm such a ******* idiot, No I'm not but I feel that sometimes, and it makes me feel so bad about my self. I just really wish I had someone,a friend, anyone I could talk too, and for my family of course they care and they feel bad but they don't have all the time in the world to fix it, they recommend going to places and doing things and getting out of the house which I do, but you cant just go up to someone in the streets and go hey wanna be my friend :D lol but the sad part is when I go to after school activities for example, I still cant find a friend, I mean there's nothing wrong with me, and people just look the other way, I'm always friendly and still I always get the door slammed in my face. So sad, people are seriously missing something that could be a real blessing in their life if they met me. Now don't feel bad for me cause that's the least thing I want here, I just don't get it though, I mean I hope as time goes on I'll meet some new awesome nice people, Cause this really makes me sad sometimes. Let me know who has been in my shoes before or is currently in the same state as I am now.

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis has, aside from an inexplicably long name, some explosive ideas. One of them, a plot to blow up the Federal Reserve building in New York, almost came to fruition.
A Muslim native to Bangladesh, Nafis came to the US to study internet security. While in college, he became the vice president of his university’s Muslim Student Association, an organization which boasts the likes of Jumanah Imad Musa Ahmed al-Bahri. However, it was only a short while before Nafis dropped out of college and began networking with jihadis online. His involvement with the Muslim Student Association is likely what ignited his interest in jihad.
Nafis contacted numerous jihadis through social media sites like Facebook. He praised terrorists like bin Laden and spoke highly of al Qaeda. Though there were numerous targets he wanted to destroy, he decided on the Federal Reserve building in New York. One of his co-conspirators drove a van full of explosives to the front of the building. Using a cellphone that had been rigged to be a detonator, Nafis pushed the button to blow the building up…
…and nothing happened. His co-conspirator was actually an undercover government agent, and the explosives were fake. Nafis was arrested, and the taqiyya (lying about Islam or to preserve Islam) began immediately thereafter. A few months after his arrest, Nafis said he regretted his actions and no longer supported violent jihad. I call bullshit on that; you don’t have a change of heart that quickly after trying to kill hundreds of innocent people for your bloodthirsty deity. Nafis’ father said his son couldn’t have been responsible for the act of terror… doesn’t every mass murderer’s parent say that about their hellspawn?! I doubt Nafis’ parents were completely oblivious to their son’s penchant for violent jihad. I think they’re just trying to cover their own asses now.

Retailers urged to work with suppliers to review food safety practices
UK-based consultancy firm Crimson & Co has urged retailers to work with suppliers in order to eliminate bacteria from within their supply chains.
The latest move comes after the recent recall involving two ready-made salads from supermarket chain Tesco's due to the presence of campylobacter, a germ that causes fever, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
Recent figures released by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) indicate that there has been a marginal reduction in the traces of campylobacter found in chicken products.
Crimson & Co associate director Nick Miller said: “The recalling of two Tesco products reinforces the ongoing challenges retailers face when tackling food safety.
“Despite recent data depicting some drop-in traces of campylobacter, high-profile recalls such as this thrusts firms back into the spotlight and bring to attention inefficiencies amongst organisations and their supply chains.”
Miller further urged retail firms to look beyond their own business scope and work with suppliers to remove threats that can harm food products.
The recalled products include the 160g pack of Chicken Salad and 315g pack of Chicken, Broccoli, Almond & Cashew Nut Salad.
The products carried a use-by date between 12 and 13 July.
Usually found in raw or undercooked meat, campylobacter is believed to cause 280,000 cases of food poisoning every year, metro.co.uk reported.


The UK has launched a two-million-pound competition alongside the US in a joint-mission to safely eliminate chemical and biological devices on the battlefield.
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), part of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory and UK Ministry of Defence, has launched the ‘Don’t Blow It!’ competition, the first joint UK-US industry competition run by DASA and funded by the MOD and US Department of Defense.
Competitors have been asked to identify innovative concepts or adapt current technologies to access, disable and destroy chemical and biological devices. This includes chemical and biological munitions, improvised explosive devices containing lethal agents or containers of bulk quantities of chemical or biological agents discovered on the battlefield or in other austere and resource-limited environments.
Defence Minister Stuart Andrew said:
“Horrific incidents stretching from Salisbury to Syria this year have shown us that chemical weapons are sadly still very much a reality – but a reality that we are determined to deal with. Destroying these deadly weapons is a complicated process and not doing it properly could mean devastating collateral damage. These are challenges that we share with our allies like the US. Competitions like this help us to tackle them head on with some of the best and brightest minds across both our countries.”
Although it is over 100 years since the first large-scale use of chemical weapons, the threat from both chemical and biological weapons persists. This has been demonstrated by the recent rise in the use of such deadly weapons on the battlefield and in targeted attacks.
Much progress has been made to destroy state-declared global stockpiles of chemical weapons through very successful large scale destruction programmes, utilising techniques such as incineration, explosive destruction or neutralisation. However, to meet emerging and future challenges, such as the destruction of smaller caches produced by terrorists in resource-limited or hostile environments such as Iraq or Syria, there needs to be a focus on developing more robust elimination capabilities that are less labour intensive.
The competition has an initial £500,000 to fund multiple proof-of-concept proposals at low Technology Readiness Levels. Based on the outcome of the initial funding phase, an additional £1.5 million of funding could be released.


UNR College of Engineering gets Army grant for water center
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - The College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno is getting a $4 million grant from the U.S. Army for a water center.
The new center will research and test new technologies in water treatment, focusing on potable water reuse from a variety of sources.
The center is the latest in an ongoing effort to fight water scarcity in a dry area of the country.
“As the driest state in the nation and one of the top 10 fastest-growing states, water resources in Nevada are stretched thin,” the professors wrote in their grant proposal Water Resiliency and Self Sufficiency: Advanced Technologies and Systems for Water Reuse. “As a result, communities in Nevada are eager to find novel ways to diversify the state’s water portfolio, and are at the forefront of water conservation and reuse strategies.”
The center will organize under UNR’s already existing Nevada Water Innovation Institute. Its research will fall into four areas:
- Advanced water reuse technologies
- Emerging contaminants
- Alternative water sources
- Resource recovery

Tomatoes are another pick in our list for the Best 10 Hydroponic Vegetables and one of the easiest non-leafy vegetables to grow indoors as well as in hydroponic systems. Tomatoes require a lot of light to grow and you’ll need a standalone grow light or if you are growing cherry tomatoes you can use one of the cherry tomato growing kits with LED grow lights.
They require a small amount of ground space and one of the main benefits of hydroponics is the ability to control the nutrients the plant received. This way you can enjoy a continuous harvest all year long without sacrificing taste.
Tomatoes are a rich source of vitamins A, C and folic acid. They are great choice due to the strong antioxidants that help protect against diabetes, the risk of heart disease, and cancer. Drip systems work really well for tomatoes.

In this photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, a fissure produces steam from a street after the eruption of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano in the Leilani Estates subdivision near Pahoa, Hawaii. Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes and the eruption follows a series of recent earthquakes.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the second quake wasn't strong enough to cause a tsunami, and Hawaii's Department of Transportation said no damage had been reported to roads.
The latter was felt as far away as Oahu and struck in almost the exact same place as a deadly 7.4-magnitude natural disaster had in 1975, according to the USGS.
The evacuation warning order for a portion of Leilani Estates, a subdivision in the Puna District on Hawaii Island was given after a 5.0-magnitude quake hit the area Thursday.
Lava emerges from the ground after Kilauea Volcano erupted, on Hawaii's Big Island May 3, 2018, in this still image taken from video obtained from social media.
The USGS says areas downslope of the erupting vent are at risk of being covered by lava.
Brad Stanfill said the lava was more than 3 miles (5 kilometers) from his house but he was not allowed in because of a mandatory evacuation order. Authorities also ordered an evacuation of Lanipuna Gardens, a smaller, more rural subdivision directly to the east.
The volcanic vents - each several hundred yards long - were found on Makamae, Kaupili and Mohala streets as well as near Kahukai Street and Pohoiki Road, officials said.
Even people living in areas that are safe from the eruptions have been unable to return because of lingering high levels of Sulphur dioxide, the report added. Exposure to the gas can cause irritation or burns, sore throats, runny noses, burning eyes and coughing. It's in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which closed Friday and evacuated all visitors and nonemergency staff. Activity picked up earlier this week, indicating a possible new lava outbreak. "And so we are watching that very, very closely", Miklius said. "What we don't know is if this intrusive event is over or if it's just taking a pause and it may pick back up". Since then, the lava flow has buried dozens of square miles of land and destroyed many homes. The geologic feature is the result of the island being on a "hot spot", which is a thermal plume shooting up from the Earth's depths.
At least two people have died since Thursday, according to reports.
Hawaii county mayor Harry Kim talked with U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard during a community meeting to address concerns on Friday in Pahoa.
A new fissure opened up just before the latest tremor on Friday, the Defense Agency said in a text message, making a total of four found so far in residential areas.
County, state and federal officials had been warning residents all week that they should be prepared to evacuate because an eruption would give little warning. Post office officials said beginning today and until further notice, Hilo Downtown's P.O. box customers are asked to pick up their mail over the counter at the Hilo Main Post Office, 1299 Kekuanaoa St.
