The program is open to any city, town, community group, homeowner association, or certified nonprofit organization in the State of Delaware. Awards ranged from $500 to a maximum of $5,000 in one of two project categories: tree planting or tree management (tree inventory only). Projects must be completed on public lands in the community. Priority was given to first-time applicants, Tree Friendly Communities, and municipalities with an urban tree canopy resolution.

Music and entertainment, this is the winning combination proposed by the “Ostia Antica Festival - Il Mito e il Sogno” summer festival, hosted as usual inside the Roman Theater of Ostia Antica – perhaps the best known building of the archaeological park, overlooking the Decumanus Maximus and built over 2,000 years ago by Agrippa.
Now in its sixth edition, for the 2021 summer season the festival will offer a program full of different shows and performances that will meet the tastes of a wide audience in terms of age and inclinations.
The journey into music proposes, to name a few examples, classical and symphonic music concerts, evening events and tributes to great performers and authors of Italian and international music, but also the monumental work of Carl Orff with the “Carmina Burana - Al femminile”, crooner hits reinterpreted by The Jazz Pack, the wonderful musical adventure of Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev and a special evening dedicated to folk, Mediterranean and World music with the double concert by Nando Citarella and Stefano Saletti.
The program at Ostia Antica includes many evenings dedicated to comedy and cheerfulness, with artists loved by the public such as Max Giusti, Riccardo Rossi, Valerio Lundini, Lillo and Greg and many others. Finally, to pay homage to classical theater, on 1 August, Massimo Popolizio interprets with his magnetic and unmistakable voice “La caduta di Troia”, taken from the second book of the Aeneid.

PHI and BioSpherix sign co-marketing agreement
Phase Holographic Imaging (PHI) and BioSpherix recently signed a collaboration agreement aiming to co-market the companies’ complementary product lines. BioSpherix, NY USA, manufactures and markets advanced cell incubators.
Over 90 % of the drugs tested in humans never reach the market. The high failure rate is a result of that the initial laboratory test gives little or no information of how patients will respond to a new drug. Together, BioSpherix’s and PHI’s products create a novel and powerful concept, allowing researchers to achieve more physiologically relevant and accurate laboratory tests by making it possible to analyze the undisturbed kinetic behavior of cells in a controlled incubator environment.
Cell-based pharmaceutical research in a controlled incubator environment (left) vs. conventional cell-based research in an uncontrolled environment (right).
“We are excited about collaborating with PHI. The combination of our Cytocentric technology with PHI’s HoloMonitor technology provides the ability to monitor cells label-free in full-time physiologically relevant oxygen conditions.* This opens the way to more physiologically relevant results for biomedical sciences”, Alicia D. Henn, PhD MBA, Chief Scientific Officer, BioSpherix.
*Human cells live naturally in an oxygen deprived environment. Conventional experiments are conducted at atmospheric and unnaturally high oxygen levels. This results in “oxygen high” cells, as the oxygen concentration is not controlled.
“The general workflow of working with cultured cells has not changed since the 1950s, when scientists were able to keep human cells alive outside the human body for the first time. The combination of our cell friendly technologies takes cell-based biomedical research into a new area, promising to reduce the need for animal testing and the cost of pharmaceutical development”, Peter Egelberg, CEO and founder of PHI.
BioSpherix Medical®, located in Parish, NY USA, designs, manufactures, and sells advanced cell incubation for the control and optimization of laboratory cellular environments. Since its founding in 1982, BioSpherix has supplied equipment and systems to academic research, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations throughout the world for use in basic cell biology and stem cell research, as well as gene and cellular therapies.
This information is information that Phase Holographic Imaging is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, on June 18, 2018.

Libraries love authors. They give us wonderful fictional stories to get lost in, and they gather information together to give us books filled with factual information about all kinds of topics. If you are more of a movie fan than a book fan, don’t forget someone has to write the script for those movies.
Every month we try to reach out to a local author to ask him or her questions, to get to know them and to share the person with you. This month I contacted Tim Champlin, a historical fiction author. Read below to learn more about Champlin. You might want to add him to your list of favorites.
Question: Tell us about your writing process and the way you brainstorm story ideas.
Champlin: All my novels are historical, more than 90% of them set in the period 1849-1900, so much of the same research detail can be used in numerous books (clothing, transportation, food, weapons, etc.). What's happening in the world and the country, if it affects the story, must be researched for each book.
These days I compose on my computer (formerly, I wrote in longhand or typed the rough draft on a manual typewriter). But the best way for me to get the story from my head onto the paper or screen is to eliminate any clutter in between. For me, now, the easiest way to do that is to compose and quickly edit via computer. But I have never been computer-oriented. The electronic age has passed me by, and computers in general have caused me much frustration during the past 25 years of my life.
I've typed on a manual machine the rough draft of a novel in as little as 44 days when I was still working at a full-time job. Normally, however, once I start, I write a book in three or four months. I don't write a certain number of hours per day or even every day, just try to average about 4,000 words per week, give or take. If I pause too long in the middle of a book, it tends to bog down.
I first try to get the general idea of what it will be about — mystery, adventure, time travel, and then decide what time period and the main characters. I don't outline but must know in advance at least two or three of the major episodes, or conflicts that must be resolved. (I visualize the story as a line graph showing peaks and valleys.) More details that can be connected occur to me as I write. Sometimes I'll know the ending in advance, sometimes not. I like to surprise myself.
Q: Do you believe in writer’s block?
Champlin: I guess some authors experience writer's block, but that's never been a problem for me.
Q: How did you celebrate the publishing of your first book?
Champlin: My first book was published so long ago (accepted March 1980 and published in late 1981) I don't recall if I did anything special to celebrate. It was a paperback from Ballantine Books with a cover price of $1.95 and I got the standard contract with a $2,000 advance against royalties. (I still get only a $2,000 advance with another company, so I haven't progressed in that area.) My three kids were ages 13, 11 and 9 at the time and they assumed all writers were rich and famous, so they thought I'd quit my job and we’d move to Hollywood.
Q: What other authors are you friends with, how do they help you become a better writer?
Champlin: I've had some good friends I met in Western Writers of America, notably Gordon D. Shirreffs (now deceased) who gave me some good advice and pointers. I still correspond with Loren D. Estleman in Michigan who wrote a cover blurb for my current series and told me about Crossroad Press, which now handles all my e-books and audios.
Kent Rasmussen, the California author of “Mark Twain A to Z," "World War I for Kids” and numerous other books, has done much for me. He's a nonfiction writer, but is very organized, a great researcher, former editor and generous friend who has given me good advice and helped me in many ways.
Q: If you were given the opportunity to form a book club with your favorite authors of all time, which legends or contemporary writers would you want to become a part of the club?
Champlin: I'd like to form a writer's group with Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain and Willa Cather. But if we critiqued each other's writing, it probably wouldn't work with these folks because each of them is such a strong personality with definite ideas about how to write.
Q: How do you think the concepts such as Kindle and e-books have changed the present or future of reading?
Champlin: These devices have definitely made a huge variety of writing available to everyone for a cheap price. But I'm not sure it has increased the number of readers. People who tend to read will continue to read a lot; those who don't, won't. My company, Gale, last year stopped posting their new releases as e-books. I'm not sure why, but I've noticed over the past year or so, my sales of e-books are staying flat while the several I've had made into audios are selling much better.
Audiobooks seem to be the wave of the future. I would rather read a book than listen to one, although actor George Guidall did an excellent job narrating my “The Secret of Lodestar.” It's just a totally different form, like watching a movie instead of reading the book it was made from. Maybe it's just what you grow up with that determines your preferences.
Q: What marketing strategies do you find most helpful?
Champlin: I'm a terrible salesman. Except for giving a talk to some group or class now and then, I don't do any marketing. I have only so many productive years left and I'd rather use them doing what I do best, creative writing. I do try to market a short story every once in a while.
Q: Can you tell us about your current projects?
Champlin: I'm currently within 10,000 words of finishing a novel I started about six months ago. The working title is “Murder and the Bedeviled Mine,” which might not be the final title.
I've recently written a trilogy using as a narrator Zane Rasmussen, a teen time traveler from the present who interacts and shares adventures with Tom, Huck, Jim and Becky in 1849 Hannibal. (Zane is based on the real-life grandson of my friend, Kent Rasmussen).
My current effort is a mystery/adventure that takes place in 1850 during the California gold rush and also features Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Jim, the ex-slave. But this is the first time I've tried to write an entire novel in the unique dialect and point of view of the semi-literate, generous-hearted, former street kid, Huckleberry Finn. It was a challenge at first because of his limited formal education, vocabulary, superstitions and the odd way he expresses himself. But I've finally gotten comfortable with seeing things through Huck's eyes.
The story begins in Hannibal, Missouri (village of St. Petersburg) and winds up in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of the present New Mexico. When it's finished, I hope it provides a great escape for readers. It certainly has for me.
Q: Any advice you would like to give to aspiring writers?
Champlin: Take advantage of every opportunity. Keep pen and paper or notebook in your pocket at all times to jot down ideas, because you'll never recall them later. If you love to write, keep working at perfecting your in-born talent and don't take "no" for an answer. I had a 1,600-word short story that had been rejected about 14 times. It was returned from the editor of an East Coast magazine with a handwritten note on the rejection slip that said he strongly objected to the dirty trick my protagonist played on his opponent. The very next place I sent it — American Airlines — the editor bought it for $900. It appeared in the American Way, their in-flight magazine, and was carried on every airplane in the AA system for two weeks during the height of tourist season. So, you never know. As Tom Sawyer would say, the next shovelful of dirt might turn up the treasure.
I want to thank Champlin for taking the time to answer our questions. We do have his books in our collection. You can sign up for curbside service and put some of his books on hold to check out. To learn how, just go to www.ngrl.org.
Also, please connect with us on social media via Facebook (@DaltonWhitfieldLibrary), Instagram (@DaltonGALibrary) and Twitter (@DaltonGALibrary).
Please be safe, stay healthy and know that we look forward to seeing and serving you in person as soon as we can. Miss you!

PISSOURI RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION PLUS MEMBER SCHEME.
This is to advise and confirm to the members of Pissouri Residents Association Plus (PRA+),
The sequence of actions to be taken when requesting emergency medical assistance as part of the scheme.
There have been a number of occasions when a delay has occurred in providing emergency medical assistance
as part of the PRA+ scheme due to the calls being made direct to the
emergency ambulance call centre, essentially bypassing the on call emergency responder.
This has led to the cause of the delay in providing emergency medical assistance.
Please note the following points and procedures:-
The emergency ambulance call centre will not mobilise and ambulance
unless the call is initiated by the on call emergency responder or the PRA+ Co-Ordinator.
The on call emergency responder is also able to contact a medical doctor who is available 24/7 and will attend within minutes if deemed necessary.
Just to confirm, the PRA+ scheme provides a 24/7 medical emergency response as follows:
1:- On call emergency responder.
2:- On call medical Doctor.
3:- Emergency ambulance (Paramedic/Nurse Uk Qualified)
If you require emergency medical assistance as part of the PRA+ scheme you must first call emergency helpline number 97836222
This number is located on the back of your Pissouri Residents Association membership card labelled Emergency Helpline
In the unlikely event you cannot get through on this number you can also call the Co-Ordinator on 97836345.
Time is critical when someone needs emergency care, following the correct procedure means that we will get to you as quickly as possible.

I didn't remember to have ever seen something more beautiful. Something more…magical. Incredible. It was just like I imagined fairytales when I was a little girl. Even more beautiful.
I have to admit it, I really thought Edward was crazy when he stopped the car in the woods and told me to get out. This was the date he was planning? A walk in the woods? Maybe he hadn't noticed that I was wearing a dress and high-heeled shoes.
I didn't say a word, though. I tripped a few times, but I was way too curious were he was hoping to get at.
And here we were. Into the most magical place I didn't even dare to dream of. A meadow, under the stars, full of little candles and music was playing. In the middle, there was a blanket with a basket on it. It was perfect. A picnic under the starlight.
"Please, say something."
I winced at Edward's voice. I had even forgotten that he was next to me. The background had impressed me too much to even remember my name.
"It's…wow." I mumbled, and he seemed to be pleased with my answer.
He took my hand and he led me to the blanked. We sat down, and I couldn't help but look around again and again and again. I needed someone to pinch me. This must have been a dream!
"Do you like it?" Edward asked shyly.
I smiled widely and kissed his lips quickly. Silly him…
"Of course." I said. "It's…the most perfect date I have ever been at."
He raised and eyebrow and I chuckled.
"Okay, it's the only date I've been at, but that doesn't mean it's…the most perfect!"
We both laughed, then we kissed again. Gosh, how much I loved his perfect lips! They were soft, and the way they moved with mine was driving me insane! I could kiss him forever and ever and ever…
We broke the kiss when we both needed air. Then, he looked into my eyes intensely.
"May I have this, Miss Swan?" He asked me softly.
My smile disappeared and he frowned as he saw fear into my eyes.
"Have I said anything wrong?" He asked slowly.
"No." I assured him quickly. "Of course not. It's just… I can't dance. And if you care about your legs, you won't do this."
"That's the problem?" He asked me incredulously. "Bella, anyone can dance."
"Not me." I shook my head stubbornly, and he sighed again, exasperatedly. Then, he took my hand and pulled me up.
"Come on. It's all about the person you're dancing with."
"Shhh." He put a finger on my lips. I hated when he did that. He knew so well he was distracting me from my main purpose. "Come on. It's not that hard."
He led me to the middle of the meadow, he pulled me to his chest and we moved slowly as the music kept playing. I felt like I was dreaming. Then, he leaned in and kissed my lips again, making me forget about all my fears about dancing, even forget my name…
"I got you something." He whispered over my lips.
"I hate presents." I mumbled, and he chuckled.
"I know. But you'll love this one."
He let go of me and went to the blanket, when the picnic was waiting for us. He looked for the present, I supposed, for a while, then he slapped his forehead.
"I must have let it in the car. Wait here." He said.
Before I had time to say something, he disappeared in the woods.
In normal circumstances, I would have been really scared to be alone, here, at night. But these weren't normal circumstances. I wasn't alone, in the woods, at night. I was at the most perfect date, in the most perfect place, with the most perfect guy. It was everything a girl could ever wish for.
I winced as I heard a phone ringing. I frowned. I didn't own a phone, so it must have been Edward's. I looked for it, but just when I found it, the ringing stopped, and I heard his velvet voice.
Hi! It's Edward. I can't answer right now, so leave your message after the beep.
"Cullen!" I heard Alice's voice and my eyes widened. Why would Alice phone Edward? "Rosalie and I had thought the whole week. We won't let Bella with you."
I shook my head incredulously. I had a very bad feeling about this.
"Listen, you asshole." Rosalie said, too. "Bella must know the circumstances you two got together. We'll tell her the truth and you can't avoid this. "
I was shaking, and my eyes filled with tears. What on earth was going on here? I bit my lip as I answered the phone.
"Rosalie? Alice?" I whispered.
"Bella?" The both asked finally.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, my voice croaked.
"What are you talking about?" I asked again, angrier this time.
"Bella?" I heard Edward's voice behind me."Is that my phone? Who called?"
"Rosalie? Alice?" I said into the phone, ignoring him. "I want the truth. Now."
It was clear that they had hung up. Chicken.
"Edward." I turned towards him, and a tear rolled down my cheek. "Tell me the truth. What are those circumstances that got us together?"
Edward shook his head, and panic was obvious into his head.
I had no idea what truth I was asking for. In fact, my mind was shouting that she didn't want to hear that truth. And so did my heart. I knew it was bad, but I still wanted to know it. And if Edward really loved me as he said he did, then he would tell me.
"Edward!" I shouted, and closed my eyes, waiting for him to say something.
"It doesn't matter my love. I love you and…"
"It does matter to me!" I cut him off. "I need to know, I need something to prove me that you won't hurt me! That you are different!"
I opened my eyes hesitantly, just to see that his eyes were in pain.
"Please." I whispered exhausted. "Tell me."
He took a deep breath, then came to me and took my hand into his.
"Bella," He whispered, his voice croaked. "I want you to know that I love you. And I always will, no matter what. Even though these…freaking circumstances were not what I had expected to meet the love of my life."
He took a deep breath again. I knew it was bad.
"Alice and Rosalie blackmailed me to date you. To break your heart."
Blackmailed me..To break your heart…To break your heart…To break your heart…
Something inside me died. Something broke. Maybe my heart. I wanted to get out of there. I wanted to go home and get some sleep. If I were lucky enough, I would realize it was just a dream when I woke up.
"Take me home." I mumbled.
"Bella…" Edward whispered.
"Take me home." I repeated determined. "I want to go home. Now."
They did it. Alice and Rosalie reached their purpose. They had taken Bella away from me.
I was driving slowly, hoping that in the end, she would understand that I really didn't want to hurt her. That I had really fallen for her and that the bad guys here were her so called friends. But it was like she had put a wall between us, like every move I made to get closer to her was making her hate me even more. And it hurt like hell.
Deep inside me, perhaps I knew this day would come. I couldn't hide it from her forever, but I wanted to do it in my way. It would've been easier if I had told her. And I had had more chances to be forgiven.
"Bella." I tried again. "Please say something."
As I expected, she remained silence. I had begged her to say something even since we left the meadow, but she refused.
"Can you drive faster?" Her voice made me wince. "I want to get home."
"No, Edward." She turned to me, and her eyes were fierce. Full of hate. It was killing me. "I don't want to hear a single word. Mission accomplished, can't you leave me alone now?"
I clenched my hands into fists on the steering wheel.
"There was no damn mission, Bella." I hissed. "I'm not the bad guy here, can't you see it?"
I sighed exasperatedly.
"Bella. I love you. Your so called friends really tried to break us apart when they realized it, but…"
"What part of 'I don't want to hear a single word' don't you get it?" She cut me off angry. "I don't care. About anything. You hurt me just like them, and there is nothing else you are supposed to say. So cut the crap."
I sighed. I was not giving up, but I had to have my mind clear, to think about a way of getting Bella back.
I stopped the car in front of her house. Of course Chief Swan was watching us through the window, but this wasn't my biggest problem. The thought that Bella was going to leave now, that I might have lost her was extremely painful.
"Bella." I begged again. "At least, let me explain. I don't want to lose you."
"Too bad." She answered bitterly. "I don't want you to explain anything. I don't want to ever see you again. Good night, Mr. Cullen."
And she got out of the car, almost running to the house.
And still, I promised her and myself. Even if it was the last thing I did, I would gain her back. I would prove her that I loved her with all my heart and that she could trust that I would never hurt her again.
Because now I knew –Bella Swan was the love of my life.
Really short, isn't it? And it's not that great and definitely not how I had imagined this chapter.
Anyway, I hoped you liked it. Bella's finally found out about the friends she had, and Edward's hurt. What's she gonna do?...
Don't forget to review!

Celtics pull out victory
BOSTON -- The game was coming real easy for the Celtics last night. Maybe too easy.
After all, you score on your first 12 possessions of the third quarter and that one-point halftime deficit gets blanked out in a hurry. That spurt pushed Boston to a 90-79 lead against the roadkill Raptors (7-25 outside of Canada), and when Toronto's Chris Bosh, who had already scored 20 points, got tangled up in mid-air with Marcus Banks and left for good with lower back pain 1:20 into the final quarter, maybe the Celtics thought they were driving down Easy Street.
So by the time Toronto had taken a 107-106 lead on a slashing drive by Jalen Rose (35 points), Celtics coach Doc Rivers could hardly bear to watch anymore.
"We had a chance to put them away," he said.
And when former Celtic Milt Palacio just missed a driving layup at the buzzer, Rivers' breath was all but taken away, regardless of the hang-on 110-109 win. "You're right," Rivers began his post-game press conference to no one in particular, "we don't play any defense. That was horrible."
You would have thought the Celtics had lost, the way Rivers described the locker room after. "They were pissed. They had their heads down. They were upset. Frustrated."
Paul Pierce (24) has seen this before. "We've got to be more solid each and every quarter. We know we can improve, especially at the defensive end."
"We're not going to be very good if we play like this," said Rivers. "We have to be better. We have to be better defensively ... We were lucky to win."
Rookie Tony Allen played a major part in having things work out in the end. It was Allen's slam (off an Antoine Walker dish) that put Boston up 108-107. When Rafer Alston's straight-Eventurouser gave Toronto the lead, Allen scored again down low and was fouled. He missed from the line, so it stayed a one-point game.
Boston got the ball back after Donyell Marshall missed a 3-pointer, but Pierce missed at the other end. With the seconds ticking off, Palacio rebounded and began dribbling for the potential game-winner with seven seconds left. "I looked up and didn't know if we were going to call a 20 (second timeout) or not. I just heard our guys saying 'go!' I thought I got fouled (by Gary Payton), but in a game like that you don't know if the refs are gong to call it or not."
No call. No hoop. Palacio's shot trickled off the iron. Ricky Davis (14) then jawed in Palacio's ear for a good 20 seconds. What was that all about? Nothing serious, said Palacio. "I played with Ricky in Cleveland. We're always jivin."'
The Celtics are jivin' and surviving, this one, the Bobcats the game before. They're 9-1 since Walker's return. At least he was honest enough to say he wasn't upset after the game. "I come from 10 wins, man," meaning the Hawks. If he escaped from Atlanta, he knew the Celtics escaped the Raptors this time. "For six or seven minutes we didn't play well. It just happened to be at the end of the game. It cost us. Almost." Walker scored 24 points on 11-of-14 shooting from the floor. Payton had nine assists.
Allen finished with 16 and was thrilled to be playing in crunch time. "I'm fighting for those minutes down the stretch," he said. "I feel like I can score any time. Any guy in this league feels like that."
"He made some big buckets," said Rivers.
Even though the Celtics shot 58 percent, they still trailed at the half, 54-53. Bosh (16) and Rose (15) led the Raptors. Pierce had 14 and Walker and Davis 10 each. Walker also had four assists.
The Celtics hit the road (Houston, New Orleans, New York) with a 4 1/2 game lead on Philadelphia. They hope to return with things unchanged.

Video game addiction is a broader concept than internet gaming addiction, but most video game addiction is associated with Internet gaming.

PayFast has launched its annual Black Friday and Cyber Monday live spending tracker, with the dashboard showing that someone has already spent over R100…
There are just too many great motorsport events and series to fit into a comparatively short weekend. Sadly because of this, many exciting moments go unnoticed to the oblivious racing fan. But thatâ€™s a thing of the past, thanks to Motorburnâ€™s weekly roundup.
We’re in the midst of the rigourous preseason testing schedule and while not too much ever seems to be happening, it’s always fairly important for engineers and drivers alike.
The second Formula 1 test has just come to an end in Spain while the second MotoGP test has just started in Malaysia, and we have news from both events.
Additionally, some series are in full swing, including NASCAR and Formula E. We have the latest from Daytona and what will be Miami in a few weeks time.
1. F1 testing concludes, Lotus (rather hilariously) fastest
In an interesting twist, Lotus clocked the fastest time at the final day of the second test in Barcelona with Mercedes not too far behind.
It’s really to be expected though, with the Lotus using the Mercedes powertrain for the year ahead. McLaren-Honda had a particularly grey weekend itself, with a spate of issues with the powertrain and the transmission.
Nevertheless, after the second round of testing, with another in Jerez to go before Australia’s March season opener, Ferrari and Mercedes are looking like the teams to beat this year.
2. Alonso crashes heavily, suffers mild concussion
In a rather scary incident, Alonso lost control of his McLaren-Honda and ploughed into the inside wall between the third and fourth corners of Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya. It was a massive shunt, but luckily the Spaniard suffered only a mild concussion.
It’s a testament to the strength of Formula 1 cars and the focus on safety.
He is a doubt for the final test though, which could see reserve driver Stoffel Vandoorne get his chance in the McLaren hot seat.
3. Valentino Rossi impresses again in testing
He might be a veteran but Valentino Rossi can still hang with the youngsters. He topped the first day of the second test at Sepang while rain and hot conditions ruled played havoc to times. The time was set early on in the session, but Rossi was fastest by a tenth over Honda’s Dani Pedrosa.
4. Formula E has eight new engine suppliers for next season, just two major manufacturers
Currently, the Renault/McLaren/Williams partnership is responsible for all powertrains in Formula E, but the 2015/16 season will see eight manufacturers join the fray, all constructing their own cars with their own powertrains.
Renault, ABT Sportsline, Andretti, Mahindra, Venturi Automobiles, Virgin Racing Engineering, Motomatica and NEXTEV TCR will all compete in the series with their specially designed cars, which should see faster development, rising costs and a larger difference in lap time and endurance.
It should be noted that just Renault and Mahindra are major automotive manufacturers. Does this mean the world doesn’t quite see Formula E as a viable electric vehicle development test bench?
5. Joey Logano wins his first Daytona 500
After a tumultuous start of the season for NASCAR, Joey Logano has won the 57th running of the Daytona 500, and bagged US$1.59-million in prize money.
The fearsome circuit, regarded by many in the NASCAR fraternity as one of the scariest, the race as always, wasn’t without incident. Have a look at the video above for a full recap.

President Yoweri Museveni is back home from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital where he joined other African Heads of State and Government yesterday for an International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD25).
President Museveni told the 3-day conference that gender equality can only be achieved if societies transform and develop.
“You cannot keep a pre-capitalist society in existence and you think you will achieve easily gender equality and other goals,” he told thousands of attentive delegates at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre in the Kenyan capital.
Mr. Museveni was received on arrival earlier today at Entebbe International Airport by Presidency Minister, Esther Mbayo.
Others at the airport to receive him included the Head of Public Service, Mr. John Mitala, the Commander of Uganda People’s Defence Air Forces, Lt. Gen. Charles Lwanga Lutaaya and Assistant Inspector General of Police, Mr. Andrew Sorowen, among others.


Phil Davies and his coaching team will be casting a watchful eye over all of the Under 20s action over the next month.
Wales Under 20 head coach Phil Davies will begin his Wales Under 20 selection process this week when the WRU Regional Under 20 Championship kicks off this week.
Former Scarlets director of rugby Davies, and his Under 20 management team of Gareth Baber and Rob Hoadley (assistant coaches), fitness coach Wayne Proctor and team manager Tony Clement will, between them, watch every game in the three rounds of Under 20 games, where the Blues, Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets will play each other once over the coming month.
All four sides will be in action for the first time on Wednesday evening - Davies and fellow former Wales international Proctor will be at Waterton Cross, Bridgend to see the Ospreys take on the Scarlets, while Blues skills coach Baber and former Wales full back Clement will be at Eugene Cross Park, Ebbw Vale for the clash between the Dragons and last year's champions, the Blues (both matches 7.15pm).
Davies said, "These games will enable us as a coaching team to have a really good look at the probables and possibles as they compete against players of their own age. We will be able to observe the style of the players, individual skills such as in the line-out and some combinations such as at half back and in the back three. Along with performances at premiership and regional level, these matches will allow us to assess the quality and potential of the players available to us."
Davies and his coaching team have begun a series of sessions with each of the regional U20 squads, with a view to preparing players for the step-up to the international environment. The team has already worked on core skills and game understanding with the Dragons squad.
He said, "It's all about pushing boundaries and increasing the intensity of training which is sometimes about changing players' mindset. I was really impressed with the attitude and ability of the Dragons U20s last week and we hope these sessions will bear fruit when it comes to training as a national squad, which will hopefully in turn help us to be competitive not only in the Six Nations but against the southern hemisphere sides at the Junior World Championship in June.
"Once the Regional Under 20 matches are complete, we will select a training squad at the end of November before narrowing that down to a Six Nations squad in the New Year."

Grand Slams, Triple Crowns and British and Irish Lions tours - Sir Gareth Edwards did it all. But what are his favourite moments in what was an amazing career? WRU TV finds out - along with his favourite players of today in the third and final instalment of our series with the greatest rugby player ever.
JPR Williams, Gerald Davies and Mervyn Davies were among those in the Welsh ranks when Sir Gareth Edwards began his international career against France nearly 50 years ago, but who was the player who took the young scrum half under their wing?
Wales head coach Rob Howley and captain Alun Wyn Jones are expecting a physical battle against France on Saturday but both are hoping for another impact from the bench as the men in red chase a top-four world ranking.
It's nearly 50 years since the great Sir Gareth Edwards made his debut as a youngster for Wales against France in Stade Colombes. In the first of a series, WRU TV discovers he pocketed a 'special momento' from the game - something he still has today.

How is my monthly fixed Direct Debit worked out?
Depending on your account status, your monthly fixed Direct Debit can consist of a number of things. Here's a brief explanation of each of these:
- Any unpaid balance since your last bill (A): If there's any unpaid balance from your last bill, you can choose to either pay it off before you set up your Direct Debit or roll it in your plan.
- Energy consumed since your last bill (B): If we haven't received a meter reading from you recently, we'll ask you for one before we set up your Direct Debit. This will help us calculate the amount of energy you have used since your last bill.
- Forecasted energy cost (C): To calculate this, we need to know how much energy you are likely to use in the coming months. We do this based on how long you have been with us:
Existing customer: We look at seasonal weather patterns and your previous energy usage, based on the meter readings that we have for your account.
New customer: We estimate your future energy usage based on seasonal weather patterns, consumption information provided to us from National Grid (Gas) or the Meter Operator (Electricity) and information you give us when you join, particularly how much energy you used with your previous supplier.
In either case, this forecasted energy consumption is converted into GBP value by taking into account your current tariff to obtain the forecasted energy cost (C).
Your payments are calculated by adding the three values above (A+B+C). This total cost is then split into equal monthly payments. For most people, this means your account will be in debit in the winter and/or credit during the summer - leveling out by the end of the year.

According to VCA Animal Hospitals, the average female dog goes into estrus twice a year, which means she can have two litters of puppies a year. However, just because a dog is in estrus does not always translate to pregnancy. A number of factors influence whether a dog becomes pregnant during her heat cycle.Know More
Age tends to play a role in a dog's estrus cycle. Many dogs do not experience regular estrus cycles for the first couple of years upon reaching sexual maturity. For example, it is normal for a young dog to only have one heat cycle a year.
Not all dog breeds have regular heat cycles. Smaller dog breeds can have a heat cycle three times a year, and certain larger breeds may have a heat cycle only once a year. A dog cannot get pregnant between heat cycles. However, a dog can become pregnant during a "silent" heat. Silent heats are simply heat cycles that go undetected.
Typically, it is not recommended for a dog to have more than one litter a year. Having too many litters a year can be detrimental to the mother's health. Before breeding a dog, it is advisable to ensure that the dog is in optimum health.
Veterinary Partner recommends waiting until a female dog is at least 2 years old before breeding. Breeding a dog before she reaches 2 years of age can lead to complication for the both the mother and puppies.Learn more about Dogs

BOONE COUNTY, WV (WOWK) – Residents in Boone County continue to pick up the pieces after a devastating flood hit the area Thursday.
Homeowners say they’re shocked by the extent of the damage.
“Devastated because we’ve never seen anything like this up here,” resident Kevin Barker said. “Eight, nine years I’ve been up here, it’s like the Buffalo Creek flood.”
Signs in Danville warn motorists of high waters. Down the road, private bridges are washed out, stranding residents on the other side of the creek.
“My biggest worry is, how am I going to get it cleaned up?” Loretta Greene said.
The West Virginia Division of Highways is working on restoring the roads. One worker says he expects the work to take about a week to fix.
One homeowner says he called off work to start fixing a washed-away bridge. Debris scattered and mud on the roads, Barker thinks this is a once in a lifetime occurrence.
“I’ve been here eight years and I’ve never seen it this high, so I’m not worried it will happen again,” he said. “It’s flash flood. Flash floods happen quick, they go up quick, they go down quick.”
But other residents are concerned another flood would be even more damaging than this one.
“I think everyone would be gone,” Greene said. “I’m gonna be gone and I’m not gonna deal with it no more.”

2021 Weddings Trends
Updated: Jan 11, 2021
As we look back on 2020, it has been a year full of reflection. And with that comes a new level self-awareness, defining what’s most important. To that end, we’ll see in the upcoming year weddings that are rich with personal style and incredible attention to detail. While we all continue to adjust in this pandemic, the wedding industry continues to evolve with welcome creativity.
If this past year has taught us one thing, it’s to forge ahead the best way you know how. In 2021 we’ll see couples forego traditions, making their own rules for their day.
With wedding stationery we’ll see old conventions broken, such as the continued reduction in the use of inner envelopes. Though this tradition once served a purpose, we will see many couples spend those dollars on their invitation suite in more meaningful ways. One might forego the inner envelope and replace that with a wax seal and an envelope liner or high end press techniques.
Save the Dates and wedding invitations will continue to remain a priority when it comes to setting the event tone. We’ll see the aforementioned intentionality dictate a very custom design motif – one that is personalized specifically for the couple. Custom designed motifs, also referred to as wedding logos, can be as simple and stunning as a beautiful 2-letter interlocking monogram used throughout the suite. Or it could be a more elaborate watercolor crest design coupled with soft, romantic, or rich florals and a custom script monogram. Motifs that are inspired by location can also provide great design direction for the rest of the suite.
For many, commissioning a boutique stationer may be the best first step. If budget allows, a stationer can start from scratch with a custom, one-of-a-kind invitation suite tailored to the couple’s style and event tone. And with so many tools to personalize pre-designed invitations these days, making this happen on a budget is easier than ever.
In 2021, we’ll see a lot of fun and excitement generated around personalizing the many details of the wedding. Welcome boxes will be filled not only with the necessities of sanitizers and customized masks, but also a carefully curated set of goods that tells a couple’s story. We’ll see more and more personalized items with tags and stickers as well as items that are fully customized to further enhance the design motif, or wedding brand.
We’ll also see a lot of couples gifting their guests. These tokens may vary in size and cost due to the number of wedding invitees. For ideas on what to give, couples can lean on their shared passions and hobbies. For example, a pair who might have a shared passion for wine could consider giving a bottle of their favorite bubbly to each guest tagged with a special thanks.
Custom cocktails will also be a great way to personalize at the reception. Each cocktail is an opportunity to tell a little story about the couple with unique names and artwork along with the name they choose and the signage that adorns. In 2020 we saw a definite rise in custom watercolors of pets that were added to bar signs. We see no stopping this trend anytime soon.
In the coming year we’ll see a more intimate ceremony and reception setting born out of safety measures. This may include smaller indoor ceremonies with larger outdoor receptions. We’ll see fewer crowds at food stations and more seated dinners. We saw the rise of seated zones and bistro tables in 2020, especially for more intimate celebrations, allowing families to sit together within their own bubble. One exciting addition has been the introduction of individualized charcuterie boards. We hope will stick around for years to come!
Seating charts and escort cards will also remain a priority as guests are seated with safety in mind. While serving as a useful tool, seating charts and escort cards can also provide added beauty, fun, and interest at the reception.
Unique texture will take center stage in 2021. From velvet gowns to luxurious linens we’ll not only see a layering of texture but use in surprising ways.
No longer just for bridesmaid’s dresses, velvet is now making its way onto the wedding invitation itself. Ribbons will continue to grace the suite from classic satin to delicate hand-dyed silk. Handmade liners with its varied textures and colors will provide balance for a couple who might seek out a bold touch to a classic invitation suite. We’ll also see natural textures, like sisal grass or leather with its variations in color and texture make its way into the suite.
Be it suits or stationery, bold colors is a trend that is holding its own. While gray carries on as a reliable accent, we’re seeing bold colors make their way into wedding design.
Soft colors haven’t gone away; however, bolder colors like emerald and plum are popping up in stationery suites in motifs, or the RSVP envelope. It helps to add flare and define mood ever so equally.
At Paper Daisies, a design studio specializing in stationery for big celebrations, we help engaged couples, event planners and celebration hosts bring their unique vision/brand to life. As a small company made up of genuine people pleasers, our designers walk our clients through the process from beginning to end.
We are a Pinterest page come to life, offering a one-stop shop that provides everything from save the dates and invitations to napkins and signage. For clients choosing from our Online Collection, paper-daisies.com offers an easy way to personalize and place their order with a designer who is ready and excited to get started.

In the past two decades, the rapid adoption of LED lighting fixtures has led to tremendous savings for building owners and landlords in both commercial and residential environments. Now, with the use of Power over Ethernet (PoE), the lighting industry is transforming once again and this time it is entirely changing the way in which occupants interact with buildings.
While in the past, the primary purpose of lighting has been illumination, today, through the use of PoE technology, these smart lighting systems are serving as a portal for data transmission, building monitoring and enabling increased tenant and occupant comfort. By integrating PoE, a building?s LED lighting system can be used to provide Wi-Fi access points, temperature controls, occupancy sensors and even surveillance cameras.
Smart lighting systems are non-obtrusive and run throughout the building?s physical structure and, as such, are ideally suited for serving as a portal for integrating with sensors and other devices.
By integrating PoE with LED lighting systems, building owners are now able to eliminate the need for a separate power infrastructure.
PoE, which uses low voltage power transmitted over existing Ethernet cables to operate the luminaries, enables building managers to simultaneously monitor high volumes of data collected from IoT sensors inside of commercial and industrial buildings.
How Cisco’s RBC Waterpark commercial offices use smart lighting systems
The RBC Waterpark Place III is a commercial office building where Cisco offices are located in Toronto, Canada. It is one example of how smart lighting systems integrated with Power over Ethernet can do much more than just illuminate the property.
The intelligent lighting system, which was installed by Philips on all four floors of Cisco?s offices,?? yielded an 80% savings to Cisco.
The system uses the data collected from 600 PoE-enabled luminaires equipped with sensors to capture temperature, light level, and occupant activity and is linked to a centrally hosted software dashboard which runs in the building?s IT environment.
The intelligent lighting system works by uniquely identifying luminaries by IP address, which allows them to be individually monitored, managed, and controlled. Building managers at RBC now can mine data about workspaces captured by the sensors in the luminaires and optimize for building performance and employee comfort by controlling their lighting environment.
The smart system also stores data over time, so that managers can assess occupancy patterns and optimize lighting operations based on historical trends which helps facilities managers to respond to maintenance issues faster – significantly lowering labor costs in the long-run for building owners.
These luminaires provide much more than illumination – and serve as a direct portal for data collection, offering energy savings and sustainability to building occupants. Beyond the reduced costs-savings derived from data and building optimization, the integrated system has also had a considerable impact on occupant comfort.

ISLAMABAD: Federal minister and Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Daniyal Aziz has said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had become the victim of a “grave mistake”.
Speaking to the media in PID media centre Islamabad on Saturday, Daniyal Aziz said that the definition for the word ‘assets’ used by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers verdict does not exist in the Black’s Law dictionary.
“The very dictionary used to define assets [Black’s Law dictionary] does not include the term’s definition,” he said, referring to the charges against Nawaz for not disclosing assets owned by him.
Aziz insisted that receivables, if not received, cannot be classified as assets, contrary to what was decided in the July 28 ruling by the Supreme Court disqualifying former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding public office.
The Minister for Privatisation said the Panama Papers verdict would have an impact on Pakistan’s tax system and economy.
“The court’s decision will have an impact on the entire tax system and economy,” he said.
“The decision has changed an entire system,” he said.
Aziz, however, insisted that he could not even ‘think of disrespecting the institutions.’
“I have been awarded medals for strengthening institutions,” he said, “but as a citizen and a Member of the National Assembly (MNA), I have some rights.”
He added that he [and his party] has fought battles to strengthen the judiciary of Pakistan.

RCD Espanyol kick off a crucial month away to Sevilla on Thursday, with coach Luis García clear that it is the team’s sole focus for now.
The Mágico will hope to build on their weekend victory against Getafe with a positive result at the Estadio Sánchez Pizjuán, with Sevilla playing their second home match of the week following defeat to Girona.
Speaking pre-match at the RCDE Stadium, García said, “We have to focus on ourselves, on trying to improve the players and forget about what is happening outside. We will do that by aiming to get the three points tomorrow, that is the goal. All I am thinking about is winning tomorrow, we have to focus on doing what is necessary to survive”.
Espanyol travel to Andalusia without the injured José Gragera, while Martin Braithwaite is suspended following a fifth yellow card of the season last weekend. They face a revitalised Sevilla side under new manager José Luis Mendilibar, who have been pushing away from the relegation zone and towards the top half.
García said of the opponents, “Every match is different, but how we approach each one is always the same: to be protagonists with the ball, aim to exploit the space and punish the opponent. Sevilla are a good team with a lot of intensity and width. But we also have our weapons and we arrive at a good physical, mental and footballing moment”.
The mister concluded, “I continue to see the team as very receptive from day one. The players deserved the last win, but we can no longer think about that but rather repeat it. We have to follow our path, we cannot look at the path of others. Regardless of what others do, we have the capacity to do things well”.

The fresh says even made an effort to wield newer and more effective weapons resistant to the USDA’s interpretation away from Bostock that the courtroom has already disarmed. Among the says refers to the major concerns doctrine, which the Ultimate Judge most recently invoked during the Western Virginia v. EPA. This new doctrine’s premise would be the fact Congress need to “speak certainly” when passing a national agency the advantage and come up with choices having “big financial and you may political relevance.” The new says believe Congress failed to desire having government providers so you’re able to translate Title IX thus broadly. To phrase it differently, in the event the Congress wants to end universities off doubt 100 % free meals to help you gay and you can transgender children, it will “talk clearly” to do this.
But not, it’s value noting one to Gorsuch addressed a similar disagreement from the court’s Label VII interpretation when you look at the Bostock and you will discarded it. Gorsuch known it reason because the “no-elephants-in-mouseholes canon” of judicial translation and you can disregarded it.
One of many facts raised of the companies if so try one Congress could not enjoys meant to hide protections having gay and you will transgender specialists inside the a workplace discrimination laws drawn up when you look at the 1964
Name VII, Gorsuch debated, is clearly drawn up to anticipate affairs that its drafters couldn’t fundamentally imagine, together with process of law features continuously read it as a result to get more than simply 50 years. “Congress’s secret creating selection-to a target discrimination facing some one and not simply ranging from organizations in order to keep companies accountable assuming intercourse is a but-getting factor in the latest plaintiff ‘s the reason wounds-virtually protected one unforeseen apps do emerge through the years,” he typed. “This elephant have not invisible inside the good mousehole; this has been reputation ahead of us all collectively.”
And also in his dissent out-of you to definitely ruling, Fairness Samuel Alito plus acknowledged that reasoning employed by the latest most for Term VII might be conveniently applied someplace else in government laws. “Just what Judge did today-interpreting discrimination due to ‘sex’ to help you cover discrimination because of sexual orientation or sex identity-is practically guaranteed to have far-getting effects,” he blogged. “More than 100 federal legislation exclude discrimination because of intercourse.” Alito are helpful enough to bring a complete variety of them during the an enthusiastic appendix to help you their dissent. Among them is Label IX. Various other is meals and you can Nutrients Operate.
In terms of practical consequences, the brand new states along with cautioned the brand new judge that when the fresh USDA memorandum requires effect, it could possess significant consequences to your nutrition programs within their jurisdictions. “[The new states] sue to get rid of this new company from usurping expert that securely belongs to Congress, the fresh claims, as well as the someone in order to take away the nationwide misunderstandings and you can trauma that department’s Recommendations has actually inflicted for the claims and you may controlled agencies,” it claimed inside their grievance.
If the USDA rules requires impression, the only real “confusion” otherwise “upheaval” will be if your claims didn’t abide by it and you can decided to discriminate against anyone-something that they additionally declare that they don’t really would.
Ergo, up against the choice anywhere between participating in school nutrients programs one to let offer an incredible number of Us americans and you will retaining the option to 1 time discriminate against a homosexual or transgender boy, twenty two condition attorneys standard told the courts that the options actually very an arduous that in their mind anyway
This new states contended, including, one USDA’s translation out of Label IX plus the Food and Nourishment Act about aftermath out of Bostock try wrong and therefore the reasoning shouldn’t surpass Identity VII. They quoted language from the governing however it merely handled Term VII, implying the judge had foreclosed the newest Bostock reason in most other federal laws if this https://besthookupwebsites.org/tna-board-review/ don’t. To see new regulations if you don’t would, regarding the states’ look at, and additionally violate the original Modification because of the pressuring them in addition to their teams “to engage in biologically inaccurate message and forbid naturally appropriate address as a result of the USDA’s fundamentally moral judgment to your meaning away from ‘intercourse.’” Letting anyone opt of anti-discrimination legislation while they believe the fresh new discrimination under consideration is actually ethically rationalized might possibly be distressful, to say the least.

Looks good Barry! Keep them coming!
I bought the Tartine Bread book and it has some great information about starters and how they work. I realize that when my dough was too sour I was using starter that was too mature. I decided to apply some the concepts from the book and made my doughs with the following process;
- Tuesday night pulled starter from the fridge and fed it 50g KABF and 50g cold water. Sat out overnight.
- Wed 6AM Starter had risen and receded. I mixed 1 TBSP of starter to 150g cold water and 150g KABF.
- Wed at 6PM my leaven had the overripe fruit smell described in the book. It also passed the float test.
- Made the dough with KABF, 20% young leaven, 65% hydration, 3% salt. Mixed Leaven, flour and water by hand until there was no dry flour, 30 min autolyse, added salt and kneaded for about one minute in the bowl. I stretched and folded the dough every 20 minutes for the next hour. Dumped the dough onto a work surface and made a large ball that rested for 30 minutes. Made dough balls and sat on counter in glad containers for about an hour before putting them in the fridge.
- This morning they had grown slightly and had bubbles showing a decent amount of activity.
I also received my infrared thermometer and should be getting my firebricks today. Will post pics tonight. Going forward I am going to post progress in this thread. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13604.0.html
I still don't know what I am doing but, I feel like I have made some decent progress in a short period of time thanks to all of the info on this forum. When I stared this I thought "how hard can it be? Flour + water + yeast + hot grill = great pizzas". I wish it was that easy but, I am having a blast trying to figure it all out.
Thanks for looking!

Seriously how many of us miss chips, better yet chips and salsa!!!! OMG me!! Chips was the one thing I missed the most and it took me 2 months to find this idea. Bossman is great about helping me LC so he helps me look in the stores and turn everyday recipes into LC friendly. He’s honestly so great ( these’s his shout out haha). So it’s summer and he makes the most amazing salsa. I was so bummed because I thought Id have to go without any chips for it. Until one day I came home and my LC tortilla shells were made into perfect chips, made just for me. Yes everyone Bossman is the one to thank for this one.
Here is the LC tortillas I use but there are tons out there so you can use whichever you prefer. Cooking directions my differ
Low Carb Tortilla Chips
Low carb tortilla of choice
olive oil or spray olive oil
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut 2 tortillas into chip size pieces, I used a pizza cutter. Place parchment paper ( can just use pan or foil but need to watch closely) on sheet pan and grease with olive oil. Scatter tortilla chips out on sheet and brush with olive oil. Season and flip over repeat till both sides are seasoned.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes or until crisp but not to brown. Store for up to 7 days in a container.

Planting a seed in more ways than one.
An executive family disision has been made.
Out with the Sand Pit - In with the Veggie patch.
Not sure what has taken me/us so long, especially given my green thumb and an appreciation for fresh ingredients. The truth is seeds have never been my strong point. l think its a patience thing.
But with a little pinch of inspiration from my friend Jill who succeeded with a bountiful crop on her roof top garden last year, a dash of the unknown, and a huge nudge of enthusiasm from my two littles......Its time!
lm super excited at the prospect of eating my own produce, saving some pennies along the way, learning the art of patience, but most of all planting the seed of awareness with my kiddies...That hopefully one day they will share with their own littles.
Check out this fantastic book "Seed to Skillet". Looks like a great vehicle to success, with a true appreciation for growing your own on the way.

Plans to open a new hot food takeaway have been rejected over fears they could kick up a stink for neighbours.
Earlier this year, plans were submitted for a takeaway at a vacant ex-carpet shop in Gordon Terrace, Ryhope.
Plans included installing a new extraction system with an external flue and were expected to create three jobs.
This week, Sunderland City Council refused the plans which failed to meet several planning policy tests.
A decision notice said the plans would cause “unacceptable levels of disturbance to nearby residential properties” and conflict with the “established character of the area.”
This included “noise generated by the comings and goings of customers and their vehicles and the proposed extraction system and the generation of odorous emissions, which (would) extend into evening periods.”
During consultation on new plans, five objections were lodged from neighbours raising concerns about litter, noise, odour and increases in traffic.
One comment read: “In the ever-increasing obese society and the strain this places on health services, Ryhope Village does not need yet another ‘junk’ food establishment.
“There are several schools nearby and it is irresponsible to create more choice junk food establishments.”
The planning decision also follows four failed planning bids for a hot food takeaway at the site stretching back to 1975.
Now, the applicant has a 28-day period to launch an appeal if they choose to do so.

Has anyone used joebonsai's potting medium? i recently repotted one of my trees and it doesn't seem to be draining well. was there anything i was supposed to do to the soil before or after that i may be missing. i would hate to throw it out?
It looks ok and sounds like it retains moisture well. If you are worried about the mix, there are many other really well blended soils. Before I started making my own compositions, I use to get it from Stone Lantern-they have some excellent soil mixes...that's just one of many decent sources.
When I first started in bonsai, I bought the fujiyama soil mix from Dallas Bonsai and had a very similar experience. I did not like that kind of soil at all, and now use a mix that is pretty close to 100% inorganic with great results. It might be worth looking into whether you can pick up locally soil components like turface, pumice, lava, haydite, chicken grit, etc. Not sure what's available in the Florida area though.
This actually sounds like the soil is really dry, this happens until the soil has a water content, too often when the soil dries out it can be hard to wet it again, simply because it was dry. It's one thing if this happens once, maybeeee twice I'd expcect that, after that I would say it is too fine of a soil if it keeps doing what you explained.
When this happens your tree is in danger, the water can and will drain around the soil, out the holes, and the tree dries dead. When the soil sheds water, this is one of the few time to soak the tree pot and all in a bucket of water, then water it "normally".
Does this stuff look like potting soil, or aquarium gravel???
