After a decade of strong growth during the 1980s, the expansion of overall agricultural research capacity in Colombia stalled in the mid-1990s. In 2006 the country as a whole employed roughly 1,000 fte scientists involved in agricultural R&D. A rapid fall in the number of research staff at CORPOICA combined with increased agricultural research activities undertaken by producer associations, higher education agencies, and government agencies other than CORPOICA have increasingly diversified the institutional structure and focus of agricultural R&D in Colombia.
A similar shift was seen in the composition of agricultural research spending. The share of CORPOICA, and its predecessor ICA, in total Colombian agricultural R&D spending has gradually declined over the past decades in favor of producer associations, other government agencies, and the university sector. Agricultural R&D spending in Colombia remained stable during 1996–2002 but has contracted substantially in recent years due mainly to severe cuts in CORPOICA’s budget. In 2006 Colombia invested $152 million (in 2005 constant prices) in agricultural R&D, or 0.50 percent of the country’s agricultural output. In terms of public sector intensity of investment in agricultural R&D, Colombia rates well below many of its Latin American counterparts.
Although Colombia’s private sector is involved in very limited agricultural research itself, it plays a rather active role in (indirectly) financing it. More than 90 percent of research carried out by the country’s four principal producer associations is financed through commodity taxes levied on private sector production or exports. CORPOICA, on the other hand, received more than three-quarters of its funds from the Colombian government, with the remainder coming from internally generated resources, the private sector, and foreign donors. In recent years, competitive funds have become increasingly important in financing agricultural R&D in Colombia.
Many challenges lie ahead for Colombia. The international integration process of the Colombian economy, and of the agricultural sector in particular, is taking place in a global setting in which knowledge and technological development and innovation are becoming increasingly important factors. The Free Trade Agreement with the United States currently pending approval presents an opportunity for Colombia to increase trade access for its products. Agricultural research is key to improving the productivity and competitiveness of Colombia’s agricultural sector. The current pattern of declining agricultural R&D spending and bias toward short-term research needs to be reversed. A boost in agricultural research spending and a clear long-term national research strategy that involves both the public and private sector are therefore called for if Colombia’s agricultural sector is to compete in a new global market.

Upstream Prevention builds emotional strength, self-esteem, and positive thinking. It is the bridge to positive mental health in children and adolescents.
SEL for Prevention promotes positive mental health through universal instruction. We offer a comprehensive Upstream Prevention approach that is tailored to meet the social and emotional learning needs of all children and adolescents.
Every step of SEL for Prevention’s Social-Emotional Learning curricula works toward improved mental health. How? By increasing a multitude of generic protective factors in children.
Building these protective factors in children helps them become resilient and less likely to develop problem behaviors, even with risk factors present.
Protective factors and risk factors can be separated into three distinct categories:
- Individual factors (one’s temperament and social-emotional skills)
- Interactions with the environment (connectedness with peers, family, and the community)
- Broader environment factors (one’s socioeconomic status and the connection between one’s home and school)
Children who participate in SEL for Prevention programs gain protective factors from the three categories listed above; strengthening such protective factors brings about positive outcomes.
In other words, protective factors help buffer children from harm, thus making them less likely to participate in negative problem behaviors. As a child’s unique set of protective factors increase, the risk factors that lead to self-destructive or aggressive behaviors decrease.
Here’s the most surprising part. The benefits of our program are achieved through 8 simple steps.

Experts are warning that vegans and those partaking in the annual Veganuary campaign must ensure there is enough vitamin B12 in their diets. The risk of deficiency, they say, is ‘not a myth’.
Speaking out ahead of Veganuary 2020, Tim Key – professor of epidemiology at Oxford University, and a long-time vegan himself – says he ‘would be worried’ about consumers who switch to veganism but don’t ‘read up about what you need to eat as a vegan’, as they would be unlikely to comprehend the importance of optimal B12 intake.
Emeritus professor Tom Sanders, nutrition and dietetics at King’s College London, adds: “Of all the micronutrients, B12 is the one we’re most concerned about. I’m concerned many people think B12 deficiency is a myth.”
Of all the micronutrients, B12 is the one we’re most concerned about
“It’s something that can be easily avoided, and what concerns me is that many new people becoming vegan are unaware of the need to combine sources of plant proteins. And they’re not aware of the need to ensure they have adequate levels of B12.”
B12 is commonly found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. For vegans, it is available as supplements or in fortified foods. Long-term shortages can lead to nerve damage, irreversible numbness and degeneration of the spinal chord, although it can take up to four years for symptoms to show.
Heather Russell, dietitian at the Vegan Society, comments that ‘nutritional planning is essential for everyone’, whether vegan or not. “Going vegan is an opportunity to learn more about nutrition, including how to balance food groups, and the roles of fortified foods and supplementation. Vegans obtain vitamin B12 from fortified foods or supplementation, and guidance is available on on the Vegan Society’s website.”

Once upon a time, in a small town
nestled between the rolling hills and babbling there lived a curious and thoughtful child namelittle streams, there lived a curious and thoughtful child named Eva. From a young age, Eva has been deeply interested in the mysteries of life, searching for the answers to those questions that tug at his heart.
His parents are devout Taoist believers, and they see in Li a unique opportunity to share their faith in a clear and empathetic way, helping to guide him in the challenges of life.
They understand that teaching Taoism to a child may be a delicate task because the concepts of Tao are profound and abstract.
Every morning, Li’s parents will sit with him under the ancient oak tree in the backyard, surrounded by harmonious natural sounds. In a calm voice, they will explain Taoism, the flow of the natural universe, and the interconnection of all things.
They teach Li the beauty of harmonious coexistence with nature, the joy of simple living, and the importance of listening to inner wisdom. They encourage him to observe the gentle rhythms of the seasons, the wisdom in the flow of rivers, and the resilience of trees.
As Li gradually grew up, his parents introduced him to the concept of Wu Wei – an effortless art of action. They explained that according to the teachings of the Tao, people should learn to flow like water, adapting to the challenges of life without resistance. They shared stories of Daoist masters, who with elegance and tranquility embraced change, finding balance in all things.
One evening in summer, as the sun began to set, the entire land was bathed in a warm halo. Li sat on the grass, staring at the orange and pink hues in the sky. The gentle breeze whispered, as if carrying hidden messages of the universe itself.
After a long meditation, Li contemplated the essence of life and the inevitability of death. With a gentle smile, he remembered his parents’ teachings and realized that life is like a river flowing into the vast ocean of the universe. Just as rivers merge into the sea, sooner or later, we will also merge into the realm of the Dao.
a child under the guiding presence of an old Tao master, both enveloped in nature’s embrace, their silhouettes against the setting sun casting long shadows on the pathway of teachings, traditional Taoist symbols, like Yin and Yang, surrounding them in delicate wisps, visualizing the tales of Taoism’s origin and philosophy, detailed charcoal sketch style on handmade parchment, emphasizing contrasts and strokes that flow seamlessly.
At that moment, Li found comfort and understanding. He was no longer afraid of the mysteries of life because he knew everything was part of a greater whole. He embraced the interconnection of all things and found peace in the fluctuations of existence.
As Li continues to grow, the principles of Taoist thought have become integrated with his essence. He faces challenges with an open mentality and a calm mind, guided by Taoist wisdom.
Li’s journey was not always smooth; the road was full of twists and turns, just like the path of life. But with each step, he learned to embrace the lessons learned, finding strength in the knowledge that the Tao was always there, providing guidance and support.
So Li will carry Taoism in his heart, passing its wisdom down to future generations, knowing that the gentle threads woven by Taoism will continue to touch the hearts of those seeking comfort and guidance in humanity’s fabric.
Li, a curious and thoughtful child in a small Taoist town, learns about the flow of the natural universe, Wu Wei, and the interconnection of all things from his parents. As he grows up, he embraces Taoist wisdom to find peace and understanding in the twists and turns of life. Li carries Taoism in his heart and plans to pass its wisdom to future generations.

When “My Everything” by Ariana Grande was released online, I grabbed all the songs like an eager little girl in a candy store. An evolution from her previous album, “Yours Truly,” it is a delightful mix of dancey club tracks, string-soaked and piano-drenched ballads, and sassy, fresh R&B tracks that will stick in your head like Superglue.
The vocals are the highlight. From breathy riffs and sugary-sweet harmonies to sexy, smooth vocal runs, you will be in awe. This girl can sing. Her voice oozes pure talent and class, beginning with the first track, “Intro.” It’s like honey, flowing effortlessly and leaving a sweet taste. The album’s tone is set perfectly.
I love that Grande showcases her lower range in songs like “One More Time.” These lower tones are beautiful and resonant, further proving her vocal skill.
“Why Try,” with its marching drumbeat, balances low verses with explosions into a powerful, high chorus.
This track instantly gets an A. The lyrics are also significantly better than songs like “Break Free.” The latter is fun, clubby, and upbeat, but its grammatically incorrect lyrics (“I’ve become who I really are”) just end up annoying me.
I adore “Best Mistake” featuring Big Sean. There’s something really dark and intriguing about it. It makes me feel like I’m staring out the window at 2 a.m., sipping black coffee with a restless heart.
“Be My Baby” featuring Cashmere Cat is one of my favorites. Grande should have released this as a single; it has serious oomph. It’s a sexy R&B throwback with spiced-up vocals and production. And gosh, it’s catchy. The harmonies are vivacious, and the chords are bursting with pizazz.
Another favorite is “Love Me Harder” featuring The Weeknd. If you blast this in the car, you will feel alive. The beat and The Weeknd’s contribution are stellar. And the sensual lyrics? Whoa. They only add to the fabulous vibe. This song is on fire.
Apparently, Harry Styles wrote “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart.” To be honest, the lyrics are plain and stiflingly simple, and the topic (settling for a cheating man?) isn’t the best. But the gorgeous strings and the piano’s consistent presence mold this track into one of those syrupy ballads you listen to with chocolate, ice cream, or both. It’s sweet, it’s pretty, and you’ll forgive the excessive repetition. Also, Grande totally kills it, injecting emotion and depth into threadbare lyrics.
“Hands on Me” featuring A$AP Ferg is the most risque track by far. Grande’s seductive lyrics and vocals light it up, and the rap ties it all together. This is one of my least favorite songs, though. I find it vulgar, like something simply made for club dancing. Personally, I just can’t take songs that are so blatantly sexual.
“My Everything” is a track that has been on repeat for me since I first heard it. It’s utterly beautiful. Lyrically, it’s mature and melancholic, with more depth than other songs, and the melody fits Grande’s voice like a silk glove. The ballad flows wonderfully and may move you to tears. And those pretty riffs will leave you speechless. I am in awe at the way Grande breathes life into this song.
The production on “My Everything” is spectacular, period. When I was done listening, I felt like I’d taken a complex artistic journey on the Ariana Express. This album will succeed in cementing Grande’s top place in the music industry.

These are extraordinary times, unprecedented in recent history.
We, at Roche UK, are proud of our heritage in advancing science to improve people’s lives. This has never been more important.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our goal has been to do everything we can to minimise its impact on those affected and the brilliant people who work tirelessly to treat and care for them.
Roche UK is proud to play a vital role in responding to the pandemic, working closely with our partners within healthcare, academia, government, patient groups and industry.
Diagnostic testing for COVID-19
Roche has supplied the NHS, and customers across the UK and Ireland, with COVID-19 tests to help identify patients who have, or have had, novel coronavirus. We have worked closely with our partners in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland to support the scale up clinical testing for COVID-19 across the country.
Reliable and accurate testing is a critical part of our response to this unprecedented global healthcare emergency. Since March 2020, Roche Diagnostics has developed a broad portfolio of diagnostic tests, at unparalleled speed. We are proud that these tests are being used in settings across the country to identify those who are infected, support the vaccination programme, and to increase our knowledge and understanding of this virus.
Investigating treatment options
While there are currently no approved treatment options for the treatment of COVID-19, we are actively involved in understanding the potential of our existing portfolio.
As part of this, earlier this year Roche announced the initiation of COVACTA, a global Phase III clinical trial that was approved by the FDA and MHRA to evaluate the safety and efficacy of one of our medicines plus standard of care in hospitalised adult patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. This was the first global study in this setting and there were eight UK sites participating in the study. Separately we are currently also taking part in the world’s biggest pandemic study, RECOVERY, looking at whether existing medicines can be used to combat Covid-19, and REMAP-CAP, a second Government-endorsed study.
In parallel to our participation in this trial, we have also been in dialogue with the MHRA and the NHS (across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) to understand their strategy for dealing with the pandemic. We hope that by working closely together we can support them in a way which offers the best outcomes for patients and relieves pressure on the NHS, Government and frontline healthcare workers.
Diabetes Care offering support to the health system
In a bid to mitigate pressures on hospitals and clinicians, Roche Diabetes Care has extended all warranties for insulin pumps that were due to expire before the end of June, initially for three months. This warranty extension frees up the time of healthcare professionals and allows people with diabetes to make a decision about a new pump at a more appropriate time.
People with diabetes are now being given free access to the Pro version of Roche's popular diabetes management app. mySugr Pro. This will help improve the experience of digital and/or telephone appointments for people with diabetes by making it possible to share blood glucose monitoring information remotely very simply. Normally priced at £20.99 per year, the free offer will be in place until October and gives the user access for 12 months.
Helping the NHS overcome new challenges
The pandemic has had a huge impact on the UK health system, redirecting priorities and resources. We have been working across the board to see where we can help the NHS overcome these new challenges.
One area has been to ensure our products continue to reach those who need them. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, preparing for the Brexit end of transition and experiencing unprecedented demand of our diagnostic products and services, Roche UK has continued to supply the NHS at full capacity. We have worked to ensure we hold increased inventory of our products in the UK as a matter of course, where possible. Our global manufacturing network has robust plans for dealing with the impact of potential health and other global crises.
Some delays and disruptions have arisen, however, due to changes in demand for certain therapies, current transportation and travel restrictions, and workforce capacity limitations in highly impacted COVID-19 locations. Roche is working with high priority and urgency to mitigate against future supply disruptions.
At present, we are not experiencing any major disruption to our supply chain. We are continuing to work closely with the Department of Health and Social Care to monitor the situation and will take appropriate action as and when is necessary.
Since early March, everyone at Roche has been working remotely where possible. Like everyone, this has meant coming to terms with new routines, family situations and other anxieties. Here our goal is to allow our people to adjust to this new situation and prioritise their emotional and family wellbeing.
We can also confirm that we are not placing anyone under furlough and will not be changing anybody’s pay and conditions as a result of COVID-19.
Our people are both highly skilled and passionate about helping others during this time. That is why we are supporting employees to undertake voluntary work to give our partners, the health service and local communities the urgent help they need.
- Volunteering: We are supporting all our colleagues who wish to volunteer throughout the pandemic. While we continue to support the healthcare system in our daily work, where possible our medically trained employees have also returned to the NHS front line.
- Customers: We are reaching out to those we work with to see what we can do to help during this period.
- Charity partners: Each year our employees vote for charities to support throughout the year. We are continuing to raise money for those charities such as Action for Children and the East & North Hertfordshire NHS Trust as well as continuing our work to champion STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) through our ambassador programme.

Tributes flow for Toowoomba man killed in driveway
UPDATE: A WELL-KNOWN Toowoomba businessman, husband and father is being remembered as a champion of a man and nice bloke.
Scott Stallman, 44, was asleep in his driveway about midnight on Friday after a night out when an Uber driver bringing his wife Monique home ran him over.
Mr Stallman become trapped under the vehicle in his driveway on Flagstone Creek Rd at Middle Ridge and despite emergency services efforts, he was unable to be saved.
Friends and family have taken to social media to pay tribute to the man they knew as "Stalls" or "Stally".
"Fell honoured to have spent time with this champion of a man. Rest in peace Scott Stallman… you leave a huge hole in the lives of those privileged enough to have known you mate," Paul Farmer posted.
"So sad. One of the genuine good blokes. We will all miss you Stally, and our thoughts are with you and the rest of the family," Tim Woodhouse wrote.
The Sunday Mail reported the tragedy came after a tough year for the family, with Mr Stallman declared bankrupt in May after three companies owned by the couple - Oz Autoquip Pty, Allstates Truck and Commercial Rental Pty and OAQ Group PTY - were placed into receivership in October 2015.
They reported documents filed with ASIC indicated the firms had debts to hundreds of creditors totalling about $70 million and assets of just over $5 million.
An Uber Spokesman said their thoughts were with the Stallman family at this difficult time.
"We've reached out to police and offered our assistance should they need it."
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the incident.

Give `em less.
That`s what American Motors Corp. did for 1987 when it came up with asmaller version of the Jeep Comanche pickup.
The `87 Comanche shortbed pickup is built on a 113-inch wheelbase versusthe 119.6 inches of the regular Comanche, which bowed a year ago. And thecargo bed is 6 feet rather than 7 feet on the regular model.
And sales have taken off since the new model has appeared, AMC says.
Of course, the $6,495 price tag had a lot to do with the smaller Jeeppickup`s success.
We test drove a two-wheel-drive Comanche shortbed, as it`s called. Whilea 2.5-liter four and 4-speed manual are standard, our test vehicle cameequipped with the optional 4-liter six ($512) and automatic ($895), a goodcombination for performance as well as for room saved: There is no manualtransmission stealing space on the front floor.
The shortbed can be purchased in 2WD, or 4WD version (starting at$9,589). The problem is that whether two- or four-wheel-drive, the basicdesign puts you rather high in the saddle to allow room for the 4WD hardwareand clearance for off-roading. It means great down-the-road visibility, butmakes for some tense moments in corners and turns from the raised center ofgravity.
The success of the smaller, less expensive Comanche bodes well for AMC`splans to build a new mini-Jeep in Kenosha for the 1990 model year. AMC andDaihatsu of Japan had been negotiating for Daihatsu to build a mini utilityvehicle in Venezuela for AMC, but those talks fell through.

“This performance is a piano recital enhanced by the artistry of the Marionettes,” LACA Artistic Director Ann McLaughlin said. “Adults should not imagine that this is fare with appeal only for children. And parents can use this as a perfect opportunity to introduce their young folks to “grown up” music. We expect this performance to be sold out, so we recommend getting your tickets early.”
The performance in Los Alamos represents a departure for the Salzburg Marionette Theatre. Noted for fully staged productions of complete operas, this program turns instead to ballet. Two short ballets will be featured: Claude Debussy’s La Boite a Joujoux (The Toy Box )and Papillon (Butterflies) by Robert Schumann. Between the two ballets, Weiss will perform additional works by Schumann, Blumenstuck from Op.19 and Novelette from Opus 21.
The program will run about 95 minutes including an intermission.
Weiss made his New York debut in 2005 after winning Juilliard’s prestigious William Petschek Award which supports the debut performances of young artists. A recipient of the Gilmore Young Artist Award and an Avery Fisher Career Grant, Mr. Weiss has performed with all the major American orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and New York Philharmonic and has toured Israel with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Itzhak Perlman. An avid chamber musician, he is a favorite at festivals nationwide.
The Salzburg Marionette Theater celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. One of the last remaining full-time professional marionette troups in Europe, it has attracted millions to its home theatre in Austria and has undertaken hundreds of tours worldwide. The art of the Salzburg Marionette Theater is based on the tradition of creating lifelike figures on the stage, giving the audience the illusion of watching real people.
Tickets are available at CB FOX, Smith’s in Los Alamos and White Rock, at the Lensic box office in Santa Fe, electronically through the LACA web site and at the door. Young people ages 6 through 18 are always admitted free to LACA events. Children under age 6 will not be admitted. Complete artist, venue and ticket information is available at www.losalamosconcert.org.

Why Quality Building Award has been established since 2002?
- Quality Building Award (QBA) is a biennial Award founded in 2001 by nine professional / construction / property related organizations to acknowledge quality building teams that help construct buildings with outstanding qualities.
- QBA aims to be recognized by the local construction industry as a highly prestigious Award and to be one of the highest Awards given to those who are committed to creating buildings of the highest quality.
- The first episode of QBA was rather simple, all the submissions were nominated for one Award. The winner of QBA 2002 was Chi Lin Nunnery.
What is the main role and function of the QBA in the Hong Kong Construction Industry?
- As quality buildings are essential ingredients of a prosperous and modern society, QBA encourages a collective commitment by the industry to uphold its image and raise the overall standards of construction in Hong Kong.
- QBA is a biennial Award organized to acknowledge quality building teams that help construct buildings with outstanding qualities.

Here in Spain, the lure of jobs in the city has taken young ladies from their rural towns to move to places like Madrid to find work. It seems that his has caused a problem though because with a shortage of ladies, the small towns’ populations are on the decline.
In 1995, a group called Acocamu set up to promote repopulation of rural towns. They organised parties for single men and women by bussing the ladies in from nearby cities especially for the events.
Apparently the scheme has enjoyed a lot of success and in some cases the meetings have led to marriage.
I don’t think Bigastro needs to take such measures, from what I have seen there are plenty of eligible young ladies in the town. For whatever reason, my camera seems to be drawn to them on occasions like fiestas!


"I have called leaders from Uttar Pradesh to discuss the situation in the state and strategy for the coming polls," party President Rajnath Singh told reporters here.
Describing the clashes in Muzaffarnagar as "very unfortunate", he said the Samajwadi Party government in the state was responsible for the situation there.
He said: "If the Congress-led government at the centre would have intervened on time this (the riots) could have been avoided".
Riots broke out in Muzaffarnagar Sep 7 and lasted for three days.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party Vice President Rahul Gandhi visited the affected areas Monday.

Sainte-Maxime (pronounced [sɛ̃t maksim]; Occitan and Provençal: Santa Maxima) is a commune in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. Located on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), 90 km (56 mi) west from Nice and 130 km (81 mi) east from Marseille, it had a population of 13,968 in 2017. Its inhabitants are called Maximois or Maximoises in French.
The town faces southward on the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. In the north the Massif des Maures mountain range protects it from the cold winds of the mistral. It is the seat of the canton of Sainte-Maxime.
Sainte-Maxime was founded around 1000 AD by monks from the Lérins Islands outside Cannes. They built a monastery and named the village after Saint Maxime. Fishing was the economic mainstay for the inhabitants but during the early 19th century increasing amounts of lumber, cork, olive oil and wine were shipped to Marseille and Italy.
The village grew and in the 20th century began to attract artists, poets and writers who enjoyed the climate, beautiful surroundings and azure blue water. In front of the old town is the characteristic tower, La Tour Carrée, built by the monks in the early 16th century to protect the village from invaders. With an addition of a battery of cannons and with the Tour du Portalet in Saint-Tropez the whole bay was protected. As late as in the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon ordered a restoration of the battery while also adding cannons on the Lérins Islands. The tower is now a museum.
World War II
On 15 August 1944, the beach of Sainte-Maxime was at the centre of Operation Dragoon, the invasion and liberation of Southern France during World War II. "Attack Force Delta", based around the 45th Division, landed at Sainte-Maxime. After fierce house-to-house fighting the Germans were defeated and eventually surrendered. By the foot of the Harbour pier and by La Garonette beach in the far east of the commune, memorials at the respective landing places honour the United States troops. At La Garonette beach, but formally in Les Issambres, (Roquebrune-sur-Argens commune), the sailing centre is named La Batterie, as it was the location of a German artillery battery.
Tourism is the largest source of revenue for Sainte-Maxime nowadays, but the town remains lively all year round with 13 968 inhabitants as of 2017. There is the old town with shops, markets, restaurants, bars and cafés, opposite the harbour. On the pier are marine shops and an upscale restaurant, and also fast boat transportation with Les Bateaux Verts to Les Issambres, St Tropez and Port Grimaud. There is a shoreline promenade with parks, pine trees, boulodrome Prince Bertil, the tourist office and the city beaches, as well as a casino with its own piece of white sand.
In addition to the city beaches, there are the Blue Flag-certified supervised ones. On the west side, The Croisette has a sailing school. On the east side of the town are La Nartelle, La Plage des Eléphants and La Garonette (also called Val D'Esquieres), which all provide water-skiing and jet-skiing activities. In addition, there are several smaller beaches that are unsupervised, for a total of 10 km of publicly accessible shoreline. There are eight golf courses within a 30 minute radius by car.
Jean de Brunhoff, the author of the Babar books, lived in Sainte-Maxime for some time and here created the first book. One of the beaches – La Plage des Eléphants – is named after the famous blue elephant.
The Swedish royal family (of the Bernadotte dynasty) owns a villa, Mirage, in the town's central area. It was originally acquired by Prince Bertil, Duke of Halland in 1946 as a second home for himself and his at that time unofficial life partner Lilian Davies, later Princess Lilian, Duchess of Halland. The central and ocean facing boulodrome in Sainte-Maxime is named after the prince, as he was a regular player who appreciated the uncomplicated and warm reception of the village locals.
Raoul Nordling was the Swedish consul in Paris 1944 who made great efforts to save Paris and its citizens during the late phase of the Second World War. He persuaded General Choltitz to disobey Hitler's orders to destroy the French capital and many lives were saved before General Eisenhover approved General Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque and Charles de Gaulle to re-enter the town. Nordling had a house in Sainte-Maxime, Le Mas du Gay Savoir; he was also named an honorary citizen. Part of the road to Grimaud is named after him.
Léon Gaumont was a French inventor, engineer and industrialist who was a pioneer of the motion picture industry. Gaumont often stayed in Sainte-Maxime where he owned a castle, Les Tourelles, built circa 1883. This residence served as a backdrop for several films including Judex conducted in 1916 by Louis Feuillade that was shot in part in Sainte-Maxime. The castle – with new buildings – is now a holiday resort. Léon Gaumont died in Sainte-Maxime in 1946.
Paul Géraldy or Paul Lefevre (1885–1983) was a French poet and playwright. He had a house in Sainte-Maxime named Toi et moi ("You and me") which took its name from his second book (which was his breakthrough). The house is located east of the village above the Madrague beach and now split into apartments.
Victor Margueritte (1866–1942) was a French novelist and a frequent guest in Sainte-Maxime. Around 1920, he bought and developed a large property, La Madrague, which stretched from the sea and climbed to the top of the Colline Meinier magnificently facing south. The writer lived in his tower with his wife until 1938.
Michel Constantin (1924–2003) was a French movie actor. He was a frequent guest in Sainte-Maxime where he owned a villa at Beauvallon.

Percentage-wise, most of the Book of Revelation focuses on four series of seven topics. In narrative order, the four series are 1) the Apostolic Epistles to the Seven Municipal Churches in the Greek-speaking Roman province of Asia, 2) the Seven Document Seals, as they are progressively broken open by Jesus Christ, the Lion/Lamb, 3) the Seven Clarion Trumpets, and the very bizarre symbolic, yet historic events that occur as those trumpets are sounded, and finally 4) the Seven Bowls of Absolute, Catastrophic Wrath.
In future posts, I hope as best I can to explain the two middle series, the Seven Document Seals and the Seven Clarion Trumpets. Just to prepare my readers, I should say that interpreters of the Book of Revelation vary widely and wildly in how they explain these two sections. Even the most esteemed biblical scholars seem to have trouble making sense of these sections. But I’m going to try anyway. And be forewarned: I am willing to explore some ideas you have probably never encountered before. When I do, I will try to inform you of what I am doing interpretively, and why I am doing it.
The two tables I have included in this post give a big picture overview of some of the narrative topics and polarities in the Book of Revelation. Readers familiar with the book will likely understand much of what I present in the tables, but not all. I hope the material you don’t understand will bring you back to read future posts.
That’s all for today.
One thought on “Two Tables & An Ear”
I like your insight on various topics. We should do coffee sometime soon.

Anger at Herts County Council street-light swich-off
FEARS about public safety have prompted a London Colney man to call on Herts County Council to halt plans to turn off street lights in the district from next month.
Anthony Puddephatt of Perham Way has branded the proposals to switch up to 80 per cent of the district’s 13,300 street lights to part-night operation – turning them off from midnight until 6am – as a waste of money and urged others to oppose the switch.
He said: “County council haven’t really thought it out, they’ve just looked at some figures and decided it’s a good idea to save them some money but not considered the impact on people. The amount they say they are saving is negated by the millions it is costing them to switch it off and it’s crazy that more people aren’t angry about this ridiculous idea.
“It’s not very safe and it’s giving muggers and rapists the perfect opportunity. What about those who work late hours like nurses or those coming back from a night out? They are going to be vulnerable.”
Anthony said he was concerned that many residents were unaware of the proposals and wouldn’t notice until the changes were already in place: “The people who make these decisions live in a different world. What about the opinion of local people? Does this not count?
“We pay a huge amount of council tax in this area and we get little say on where it goes.”
Anthony described the move as a backward step and said he had spoken with the men working on the ground to convert the street lights and they also thought the plans were “nonsense”.

A concerned mum also wrote to the Herts Advertiser to express her concerns about the changes after struggling to be seen at a pedestrian crossing near Beechwood Avenue in the early evening. She said: “I had to wait while 10 cars whizzed past, without stopping before I could safely cross. I fear for the safety of children and others trying to navigate roads in the poor light.”
The Liberal Democrats have also criticised the “inflexible” proposals, which will see street lights in the district switched over from February and continue throughout the year.
Some of the lights will be converted so that they only switch on from dusk to around midnight and, during the winter, in the morning rush hour. Lights in areas where there is significant pedestrian activity after midnight and busier road junctions will remain on throughout the night.
District and county councillor Chris White said the plans, which are being implemented across the county and began in some areas in June last year, did not take into account local circumstances. He said: “There are some areas which have pedestrians until much later than midnight – commuters returning from an evening in London, for example – and there it would make sense to keep the lights on much later. There is little need, on the other hand, to keep busy roads lit which have no footpath or pedestrians, when the cars using them can easily use their headlamps instead.”
Last February, the county council agreed to spend �4.5 million to introduce part-night lighting across Hertfordshire. The aim is to save �1.3 million annually in running costs as well as reduce the county’s carbon footprint. At the time, executive member for highways and transport, Stuart Pile, admitted that it would concern some residents but said they had looked at findings from other councils around the country which had already introduced similar schemes.
He said: “I can reassure residents that the evidence from other areas in which these measures have been introduced show that levels of crime and numbers of traffic accidents do not increase.”

Since 9/11 Border Patrol regulations have been heightened significantly, which has placed the migrant workers in an increasingly vulnerable situation at the northern border. In 2001 there were about 340 Border Patrol agents in the US with 37 in NY; however, in 2014 there were 2,094 agents with 288 in NY. As result of such high border security, which I have witnessed myself this summer driving around the North Country, these migrant communities have become increasingly invisible, especially dairy farm workers because the majority are undocumented due to the lack of a visa program available for year-round workers.
Most of workers rarely leave the farm and only do so to buy groceries at Walmart or to seek medical attention if necessary. A few workers mentioned that a taxi costs around $50 for these trips. Thus, the majority of the workers choose to stay on the farm and have their food delivered by the domestic employees on the farm. Last week, one of the workers mentioned that he had not left the farm in three years. These rare (and often expensive) opportunities to leave the farm further enhance the invisibility and isolation that the workers are faced with in this region. The former language interpreter with whom I spoke (see my previous article) mentioned that there have been cases on these farms of workers having mental breakdowns and psychological instability due to these conditions.
In some of my conversations I inquired into whether there has been an increase or decrease in the number of migrant workers in this region within the last decade or two, and due to the discreet nature of the situation it is difficult to determine such trends. However, according to a former employee at the Worker Justice Center of Central NY (WJCNY), based on the 2012 census it is estimated that there are roughly 60,000-100,000 migrant workers in NY State but only roughly 2,500 involved in the H-2A visa program. This exhibits the high rate of undocumented migrant workers in this region. As I have noted previously, most NY State residents are entirely unaware of the existence of these workers. Furthermore, the majority of the migrant workers in the North Country, especially around Canton, are mostly men who have migrated by themselves rather than with families. This has further contributed to the invisibility of these migrant communities and their lack of integration into the mainstream society of the North Country because there are not any children of the migrant workers attending the local schools.
Furthermore, my conversation with the former employee of the WJCNY introduced me to some of the issues of legal aid and funding for migrant workers. Although there is a high risk for injury as well as fatality in dairy farm work, federal funding through the Legal Services Corporation does not offer legal aid and services to undocumented workers. Thus organizations such as the WJCNY play a crucial role in working to provide legal aid and social services to these workers. The Department of Justice just recently approved $50 million in funding that will go towards grants for these organizations. Although these organizations have been able to provide some legal and social services to undocumented workers, the government has provided some very basic education and health programs in order to maintain the status quo of the situation, due to the necessity of this cheap labor to support the dairy industry. However, these resources remain very limited with minimal worker advocacy in order to minimize any threat to or questioning of the employer and the business. The demand for cheap labor on these farms is so high that although border security has become increasingly vigilant, there appears to be an unspoken agreement between the government and the dairy industry; as long as the workers remain on the farm solely to work with few other opportunities or benefits, this system will keep reproducing itself for the benefit of the dairy industry and local economy while these workers will continue to remain invisible.
I will be continuing to investigate this issue, especially the invisibility of these migrant communities in the North Country, over the next several months. In my next post I will be discussing the macro migration patterns and trends between the US and Mexico by analyzing the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on various regions of Mexico and the implications this legislation has had on migration patterns.

City and UNBC Lead the Way to a Low-Carbon Future with Two Initiatives in Downtown Prince George

PRINCE GEORGE – There’s nothing like a cold snap to prove the value of reliable energy and energy-efficiency. And with temperatures dropping to almost -40 degrees Celsius last week, the City of Prince George and the University of Northern British Columbia have two successes in downtown Prince George that demonstrate the value of local ingenuity and local wood products.
The UNBC Wood Innovation Research Lab is built almost entirely of wood and houses state-of-the-art equipment used to test different types of wood building materials. When it opened in 2018, it was considered to be one of the most energy-efficient buildings of its kind in the world. How did it perform last week, when temperatures dipped to almost -40 degrees overnight?
“Over the course of the first two weeks in February, when temperatures fluctuated between -1 and -37 degrees Celsius in Prince George, the heating demand in the Wood Innovation Research Lab only fluctuated 3.5%. We barely noticed any change at all,” says UNBC Facilities Director David Claus. “In comparison, when the temperatures got really cold, the heating demand for the main campus buildings doubled.”
Although it’s more than 900 square metres (nearly 10,000 square feet) and 10 metres tall, the Lab’s heating bill is about the same as a typical 1600 square foot house. The main reasons for this performance are the 50cm-thick walls filled with insulation and the attention given during design and construction to making the building as airtight as possible.
During last week’s cold temperatures, the City’s Downtown Renewable Energy System operated with 100% renewable energy in the form of sawmill residuals from nearby Lakeland Mills. This “wood waste” is burned to heat hot water, which in turn heats nearly a dozen buildings downtown, but specialized equipment at the mill keeps emissions very low.
A 2020 Natural Resources Canada study of nearly 500 community-based and commercial bioenergy systems in Canada shows that the Prince George system is one of the largest and the only one of its size that operates with no help from fossil fuels, even during temperatures approaching -40. The result for Prince George has been that greenhouse gas emissions associated with using natural gas to heat City buildings has dropped 30-40% since the Downtown Renewable Energy System became operational in 2012, making it the City’s single-greatest contributor to reducing emissions. Among the buildings it heats are City Hall, the Library, Two Rivers Gallery, the RCMP Detachment, the Law Courts, and the Wood Innovation and Design Centre. Together, these amount to 660,000 square feet of building space.
The City’s Climate Change Mitigation plan, adopted by Council in 2020, established an initial target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% by 2025. With buildings (especially the heating of buildings) accounting for about 25% of the community’s annual GHG emissions, the Wood Lab and the downtown renewable energy system demonstrate local opportunities to reduce that number.
Both the DRES and the WIRL are also excellent examples of local innovation and local economic development. While the energy system sources energy from Lakeland Mills, the Lab was built by a local contractor (IDL Projects) and many of the wood building components were supplied by Winton Homes.

Eminem to headline at new music festival in Glasgow
Monday 28 January 2013
US rapper Eminem will headline a new music festival to be held over ten days in Glasgow.
The star, who has sold more than 100 million records around the world, has been announced as the first act for Glasgow Summer Sessions.
The festival will be held in Bellahouston Park with around five shows of different genres held over ten days in August, organisers said.
Eminem headlined T in the Park in 2010 and will also perform at the Reading and Leeds festivals this year.
Geoff Ellis, chief executive of organisers DF Concerts, said: "We're delighted to announce Eminem as the first major act for Glasgow Summer Sessions.
"His performance at T in the Park and his previous stadium show at Hampden were spectacular, so this gig will be one of the events of the year.
"As it's one of the most important music destinations in the world, we're also excited about what else we have to announce for Summer Sessions and there will be more news soon."
The rapper rose to fame with the release of 1999's The Slim Shady LP and his next album, which is due to be released later this year, has been named as one of the 'most anticipated albums of 2013' by MTV, despite still not having a title or a release date.
The Glasgow concert will be held on Tuesday August 20 with tickets going on sale later this week.

(26d) Demystifying the Zero Entrainment Myth
- Conference: AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety
- Year: 2009

- Group: Distillation Topical
- Time: Monday, April 27, 2009 - 3:25pm-3:55pm
In the last few years the importance and feasibility of vacuum tower inlet devices having very little or no entrainment to the column slop draw has been very strongly promoted. Entrainment from the flash zone is only one aspect which determines the quality and yield of vacuum gas oil which can be obtained for given crudes.
In the presentation all aspects influencing the vacuum gas oil quality are considered. Starting from the flash we will look at entrainment from the inlet device, de-entrainment characteristics of the internals in the wash section and entrainment from the wash oil distributor.
For each of these aspects experimental data, CFD analysis and data obtained from actual columns will be shown. Results from modeling of different radial and tangential inlet devices as well as a modeling of entrainment from spray nozzle distributors will be presented.
Finally the importance of all of these factors determining the maximum yield for a given quality of vacuum gas oil in particular the effect of entrainment of the inlet device are put in perspective.

So just what is a pied-billed grebe doing in southern Pennsylvania in the middle of July?I wish I had a good answer for this one but I don’t. On Sunday morning I returned to the pond by adventure camp to see if this little bird was still around. It was, as you can see from today’s photo. It was still swimming and diving in seeming happiness, though it eyed me warily and didn’t allow me to approach as closely as noisy kids flailing canoe paddles were able to on Thursday.
As I’ve never before seen a pied-billed grebe here anytime other than surrounding the colder months, I decided to investigate the sighting. As it turns out, mid-July is just about the week with the least number of sightings in the state, though sightings are not unheard of. My two sightings on Thursday and Sunday are the only records (in Cornell’s E-Bird) in York County in the last 30 days. I found two other records from late June in PA and both of those were fairly nearby. One was in Hershey, about 25 miles away as grebes fly, the second perhaps 50-60 miles further east. Another sighting was reported along the Delaware River near Trenton. That’s it.
The bird itself isn’t rare, it’s only rare to see one in summer while I’m wearing flip-flops and shorts, instead of boots and fleece. The adventure pond at Roundtop is also not where I would have expected to see this bird. The pond is surrounded by forest, which is good, but there’s no aquatic vegetation along the shoreline, which is what these birds usually like. They need a lot of space to take off, running along the water to gain speed. There is that here. Still, if I had been asked to guess where I might find this bird in summer, this pond would not have been on my list. I would have guessed the big lake at Pinchot State Park, just a few miles away. But instead here it is.
Why this bird chose this location and why it is here now is a mystery that will remain unsolved.

Folk remedies for spider mites
Last season, cucumbers overcame a spider mite. And you can’t use insecticides - in the summer we constantly remove greenery and eat them. How to deal with a pest?
Mikhail Glebovich FLOWERS, Penza
Until the possibilities of prevention and folk remedies have been exhausted, do not buy “poisons”. If one recipe does not help, try another, good, there are many of them.
Spider Mite Prevention
Ticks hibernate in the soil, therefore it is important to deep plow in the fall, and in the spring - to start cultivating the land as early as possible.
Do not forget about regular weeding of aisles. The fact is that the mites that appear first populate the weeds, so the fight against them must be waged even before emergence of cultivated plants.
Change the soil regularly in the greenhouse.
Increase the dose of phosphate fertilizers - it destroys wintering pests.
Observe crop rotation.
Remove and burn plants with signs of damage.
Concentrated Soap Solution
You can use this tool both at home and in greenhouse conditions. To do this, grate 200 g of household soap on a fine grater and dissolve in 10 l of warm water. Insist 2-4 hours, stir until smooth and spray the plants. Household flowers can be wiped with such a solution using a soft cloth. Flowers are left alone for 3-4 hours, and then it is better to wash off the soap.
2 Art. l dilute alcohol in 1 l of water and spray damaged plants.
Repeat the procedure weekly, and with the active development of the tick, every 2-3 of the day. If there is no alcohol at hand, then you can use vodka - increasing its share in water 2-3 times.
Infusions of plants from spider mites
Infusion of plants helps to cope with the spider mite.
Dandelion. 400 g of leaves pour a bucket of water and insist a day. Filter and spray the affected plants with a sprayer. Repeat the procedure the next day.
Horseradish. For this infusion, the aerial part of the plant is used - we fill the bucket with finely chopped leaves and stems by a third and add water to the top. We insist 3-5 hours. After filtering with a sprayer, we process damaged crops. If necessary, a second procedure is carried out after 10 days.
Makhorka. 0,5 kg of leaves chopped, pour a bucket of warm water, leave for a day, then filter and spray the plants. For better adhesion add grated soap to the 50 bucket of liquid.
Garlic. 200-300 grind cloves and pour a bucket of warm water. Allow to infuse 5-6 hours and after filtering, spray the plants from all sides. You can repeat the processing after 2 days.
Lukovaâ Husk. 200 g of raw materials pour a bucket of warm (almost hot) water and, having covered, leave warm for 12 hours. Then squeeze the husk, and filter the infusion. Spray damaged areas so that the plants are wetted from all sides, including from below.
Potatoes. 1 kg of green aboveground parts of the plant are crushed and poured with a bucket of warm water. Insist 5-6 hours and strain, spray the plants. Reprocessing - after 2-3 days. In a similar way, a preparation is prepared from tomato tops.
Sagebrush. The infusion of this plant is a powerful and effective tool not only against ticks, but also a number of other pests, so it should be used as a complex tool. Pour 1 kg of dried in the shade of wormwood bucket of water, insist a day. Then strain and, diluting with water (1: 1), spray the plants. However, this infusion can not be processed plants with fruits intended for eating.

Luton boss Graeme Jones revealed that he had been looking to make permanent signings ahead of the transfer window closing last Thursday, but just wasn’t able to do so in time.
The Hatters chief brought in three players on loan, James Bree, Izzy Brown and Luke Bolton from Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester CIty respectively.
When asked if he had wanted new additions he could call his own, Jones said: “I think we exploited the free market really, really well.
“I’ve been pleased with the signings and then obviously we made the purchase with Simon Sluga, I’m really pleased with him.
“We had a few permanent targets that got close to the window, one or two disappeared, but we knew all about the three loan players for a while, it was just a later option that’s all.
“We prefer to do permanent business at the club, obviously for the long term future of the club as well, that’s our priority.
"In the end it was loans, but we’re delighted with what we got in.”
All three players have signed until the end of the season and can’t be recalled by their parent clubs in January, which was a stipulation Jones made sure of having been burnt before.
He added: “I was really strong with that as I was at West Brom last season and we were flying with Harvey Barnes from Leicester who then got taken away from us in January.
“It had a huge impact on our season, you get used to people, you get used to their qualities, and it was difficult to replace.
“We don’t really want to be doing that in January, as it’s a more difficult window.
“They’ll need to engage with the group and marry into the group, because we don’t carry anybody character-wise here.
“So far I’ve been delighted with them.”

Parents and Children Together is seeking more volunteers to serve free meals to keiki during its Summer Food Service Program.
The local non-profit began serving meals last Monday to more than 100 keiki in need from noon to 1:30 p.m. weekdays at The Towers at Kuhio Park. The meals are served to children and youth 18 years old and under who qualify for free meals at public schools until Aug. 3.
While school is in session, some students only have one nutritious meal a day. The summer program fills that meal gap when school is out.
More volunteers are needed to help set up, serve meals and break down after lunch service. To volunteer, call 847-3285 or email firstname.lastname@example.org.
