A team of AmeriCorps members are spending the summer helping Northwest Arkansas hunger relief organizations provide fresh produce to those in need.
Cobblestone Farms, a nonprofit farm in Fayetteville, received an AmeriCorps grant for a team of 11 volunteers to spend 12 weeks working in Northwest Arkansas, according to Executive Director Kelton Hayes.
The farm doesn’t need that many corps members working 40 hours a week. So the nonprofit is sharing the workers with organizations that have a similar mission of addressing food insecurity, including the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, Samaritan Community Center, Appleseeds Teaching Farm, St. James Baptist Church Food Pantry and Mount Comfort Presbyterian Church, he said.
Hayes said he believes in collaboration.
“You can go fast alone, but we can go far together,” he said. “We know there is a lot to be done in our community, so why would we not work with any other organization that is either specifically working on food insecurity or wanting to make our community a better place.”
Corps team members have divided into groups of two and three and are serving three-week rotations at each organization May 5 through Aug. 5, Hayes said.
The corps members are helping organizations during the busiest part of the gardening season and providing nonprofits with the staff to expand their operations in some cases, program directors said. The 11 volunteers are taking on tasks ranging from garden chores — such as planting and harvesting vegetables — to helping distribute food.
The helpers are part of the National Civilian Community Corps of AmeriCorps. The federally funded program allows 18- to 26-year-old volunteers to spend periods of 10 to 11 months serving in the areas of energy conservation, infrastructure, urban and rural development, and disaster services, according to an AmeriCorps spokesperson.
The team serving at Cobblestone Farms is based in Aurora, Colo., and spent its first two, 12-week sessions building and restoring homes in Houston to help with recovery from Hurricane Harvey of 2017 and the ice storms of February 2021, said team leader Kara Neal of Great Falls, Mont.
Team members serve 1,700 direct hours as well as 80 individual service hours during their months of service, Neal said. All their expenses are paid, and they receive a small stipend while serving, she said. They also receive an education stipend of $6,000 when they complete their term of service, she said. Some team members are fresh out of high school, while others are college students or graduates, she said.
Neal said she has been working in the gardens at Samaritan Community Center in Rogers. The gardens provide fresh produce for the center’s market and cafe, which offer free food.
“Seeing the difference you make in the community has been great, especially when you harvest the food and see people eat it,” she said.
Cobblestone Farms has used AmeriCorps volunteers in the past through grants written by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Appleseeds Teaching Farm, Hayes said. This is the first year the farm has taken on the task of writing the grant, he said. While AmeriCorps didn’t assign a dollar value to the grant, Hayes estimated corps members will be providing $80,000 worth of labor to the local hunger relief organizations.
Cobblestone leases 25 acres off Wedington Drive from New Heights Church at no cost, Hayes said. The nonprofit uses sustainable and organic practices to raise everything from arugula to zucchini in its gardens, as well as sheep, pigs and broiler chickens, he said. The farm plans to produce 25,000 to 30,000 pounds of food this year to be donated to local hunger relief organizations such as the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank, he said. The organization also sells a small portion of its produce through a harvest share program, he said.
Locally and sustainably grown food tends to be out of reach for a lot of families, Hayes said. The nonprofit aims to provide access to fresh, local, nutrient-dense food, he said.
“We believe all community members have a right to have access to the best food they can get, and we feel we have the opportunity to grow that food, specifically for that purpose,” he said.
About 13% of households in Benton, Carroll, Madison and Washington counties were food insecure in 2019, according to Feeding America. The organization defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent access to enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy lifestyle.
While Cobblestone has been around since 2011, it went through a rebranding and reorienting process about a year and a half ago and is now in what Hayes calls the 2nd phase of the program. He believes the land is producing at 40% of capacity and could raise 75,000 to 100,000 pounds of food a year.
The farm has a slim staff, with four full-time employees and one part-time employee, Hayes said. Having the AmeriCorps members allows the staff to focus on building capacity and infrastructure for future seasons, he said.
“If it wasn’t for them being here to serve us in this way, we would just be keeping up,” he said.
ASSISTING ELSE WHERE
Like Cobblestone Farms, Samaritan Community Center is expanding its garden operation, according to Megan Thomas, garden coordinator. The nonprofit has a garden on one-third of an acre in Rogers that grows organic vegetables, fruits and flowers for its market and cafes in Springdale and Rogers. The markets and cafes provide free food and meals to those in need, she said.
The garden produces about 15,000 pounds of organic produce a year but is moving to a 1.5-acre location on the south side of Rogers, which will allow it to increase the amount of food it grows, expand its reach and provide more educational opportunities, she said.
AmeriCorps members are helping Samaritan maintain its current garden so staff can focus on preparing the new site, Thomas said.
“Partnering with other nonprofits is great because we all have similar missions, so it’s really beneficial for us to work together,” she said.
Owen Ashley of Beaverton, Ore., joined AmeriCorps when he graduated from high school last year. He said he has enjoyed the volunteer experience and working outside. Assistant team leader Brian Freno of New Jersey graduated with a business degree last year and said he joined the corps to see the country and meet people.
“It’s been a really good experience,” he said. “I’ve gained a lot of skills, a lot of life experience and made a lot of good friends.”
The corps members are keeping the food pantry at St. James Missionary Baptist Church in Fayetteville from being understaffed during the summer, according to Monique Jones, the church’s director of outreach.
The church has a food pantry that feeds about 450 families a week, Jones said. It has a drive-up pantry and delivers food in Springdale, Fayetteville, Farmington, Prairie Grove and Lincoln, she said. It also brings food boxes to all of Fayetteville’s public housing projects.
Summer is a great time to have extra help because many of the church’s regular volunteers are on vacation, Jones said. Corps members have been helping with tasks such as checking in drive-through clients, data entry, food delivery and cleaning the yard, she said.
AmeriCorps members have been helping the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank with its quarter-acre garden on its Springdale campus, according to Haley Deatherage, garden and nutrition manager. The teaching garden is designed to show people how to grow their own healthy organic produce and produce fresh food to distribute, she said.
Corps members have been planting, trellising, harvesting, and doing pest control and general maintenance work, Deatherage said. They have planted about 100 plants and harvested more than 100 pounds of food so far, she said.
The corps members are part of the Appleseeds Teaching Farm teams, helping with general garden chores as well as harvesting, packing and delivering food, said Cale Nicholson, manager of the nonprofit farm.
“I couldn’t do it alone, even with the amount of [community] volunteers we have, it’s difficult to accomplish everything that needs to be done,” he said.

The liturgy was as peculiar as the location.
Sixty of us stood in a snowy ditch a mile north of North Dakota. We stood next to an Enbridge pumping station, and directly above six buried pipelines that constitute the largest single conduit of crude oil to the U.S.
The worship leader gave us a rare permission:
Today, we take a step back from our need to fix and solve. We put aside forced optimism. We will not look at the bright side. … We will walk into the valley of the shadow.
The Holy Saturday event near Gretna, Manitoba, Canada was a service of lament, one of two held along the pipeline that day. It was an occasion to let our souls vent.
As oil coursed silently through the earth beneath us—roughly 80, 000 barrels in the short time we were there—we lamented the impossibly daunting reality of climate change.
We lamented the threat posed to indigenous people and lands in the path of the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, a project that would carry oil from the Canadian oil sands to the Pacific Coast for shipment to Asia.
We lamented our own entanglement in the complicated reality of oil.
Drawing on biblical symbols, we put ash on our foreheads and sackcloth around our arms, as the giant pumps hummed in the background.
Enbridge is a Canadian-based company that operates what its website calls “the largest and most complex liquids pipeline system in the world.”
The March 30 service, which drew people of all ages from a handful of mostly Mennonite churches, was organized by an ad hoc group of people concerned about the Northern Gateway pipeline and climate change. Some of us had collaborated previously on a spirited Earth Day tent revival meeting last year.
The inspiration for this more sombre event came from The Hermitage, a Mennonite-run spiritual retreat center near Three Rivers, Mich.
The wooded part of the 60-acre Hermitage grounds is bisected by a swath of bare land in which Enbridge’s Line 6B is buried. That is the same line that infamously spilled into the Kalamazoo River, about 70 miles from the Hermitage, in 2010, resulting in the largest pipeline spill in U.S. history.
Now the company is planning to replace a 210-mile stretch of Line 6B and increase its capacity from 240, 000 barrels per day to 500, 000. The $1.6-billion project will require widening the corridor through the Hermitage woods by another 55 feet. An additional work easement will be cleared, though it can be replanted later.
Last July, the Hermitage filed a petition to intervene with state regulators, a move Enbridge lawyers sought to have denied on procedural grounds. Later the Hermitage abandoned the legal path.
“It became really quite clear that [Enbridge] was sure of getting a permit, ” said Naomi Wenger. Wenger co-directs the Hermitage and walks the trails through the center’s woods six mornings a week with her dog Ellie.
Her and her colleagues felt that any legal intervention on their part would simply “delay the inevitable.” Lack of resources to hire a lawyer was also a factor.
Instead, the Hermitage board decided to hold a service of lamentation on the pipeline right-of-way and use compensation money received from Enbridge for alternative energy projects. The board also stated that pipeline workers would not be vilified.
So while we prayed and sang beside the road on the Canadian prairies, staff and friends of the Hermitage prayed and sang 900 miles down the same pipeline system.
The 50 people gathered for that service confessed their participation in the consumptive ways that put pressure on the earth and the atmosphere. They prayed for “courage to use less, demand creative change and care deeply.” They took pieces of a mural that had been cut into strips and tied them around doomed trees.
They read a message of solidarity from our end of the pipeline and we incorporated part of their liturgy into ours, proclaiming our belief that pipelines are not the last word for the land and that there is “good work for Enbridge to do.”
As the group at the Hermitage sang a concluding song about the new day to come, we placed pieces of sackcloth over a cross in the ditch to mark our belief that God walks with us “through the valley of lamentation toward the path that rises toward transformation.”
For me, the service marked an unlikely transcontinental convergence. Last summer I visited indigenous nations along the spectacularly rugged route of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline on Canada’s West Coast. I interviewed leaders who say the environmental risks are simply too high.
Without exception, they said they will fight the $6.5-billion project in the courts and by standing in front of bulldozers. Meanwhile, Enbridge forges on, straight toward what may be the biggest indigenous uprising in Canada in a generation.
Then I learned that Enbridge would be returning to the Hermitage woods, a place that became a spiritual home for me during numerous visits in the ’90s.
Then I learned that about 12 percent of the oil used in the U.S. flows within five miles of my family’s new farmyard in our quiet corner of Manitoba. That’s a supertanker worth every day, some along the Enbridge lines we worshipped over, and some along the Keystone line, a precursor to TransCanada Corporation’s proposed Keystone XL line.
Pipelines have become hard to ignore.
Even if they are not buried in your backyard, they clutter the news. In the U.S. and Canada they are now the front line in a defining battle. On one side is the presumed imperative of conventional economic growth; on the other, an increasingly desperate push for environmental caution.
Amid this battle it seemed right to stand in the presence of pipes and pumps to lament. It seemed right to draw on religious tradition not as backing for a fight but as a path into the depth of the issue, a depth from which the creative power of change can rise.

Hong Kong exhibit at Venice Biennale a sanctuary of calm
Tsang Kin-wah's video installation represents city at global contemporary art show in Italian city, and another Hong Kong artist, Morgan Wong, features in a large group show
The first thing that strikes visitors to the Hong Kong exhibit at this year's Venice Biennale is how the courtyard venue has been turned into a sanctuary of calm by Tsang Kin-wah, the artist whose work it features, and curators Doryun Chong and Stella Fong.
Tsang's solo show, "The Infinite Nothing", comprises four stand-along video installations. Upon entering the now enclosed and dark space, you hear the sound of a running river; a video of water is projected on, and covers, the floor. The next gallery features another video and sound installation showing an image of an arched window being slowly engulfed by Tsang's signature text projection.
The installations form "a narrative of transformative journeys through stages in life, exploring a perpetual cycle of self-inquiry and discovery", according to the curators. A closer look at the show reveals references to Nietzsche's philosophy of existentialism; those who have been following Tsang's artistic development over the past decade will be excited by his new language and methodology. The swirling strips previously plastered on the walls and ceilings of galleries have become moving digital images manipulated by computers.
The show, presented by the Arts Development Council and curated by M+, the future visual arts museum of the West Kowloon Cultural District, is not the only Venice exhibit with a Hong Kong connection. Morgan Wong, a Hong Kong artist, features in a group show called "Frontiers Reimagined" co-presented by the Tagore Foundation International and the Polo Museale de Veneto. Sundaram Tagore, who is behind the foundation, has run an art gallery on Hollywood Road, Central, since 2007.
An exhibition on a much bigger scale than Tsang's, "Frontiers Reimagined" is endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Culture. Held at the 16th century Venetian state museum Palazzo Grimani, the show features more than 60 works by 44 artists. Wong's video The Remnant of My Volition (Force Majeure) sits alongside photographs, prints, installations and canvases from established names such as Edward Burtynsky, Christo, Jane Lee, Vik Muniz, Sebastiao Salgado, Robert Rauschenberg and Hiroshi Senju.
Many of them are from Tagore's stable of artists, but placing their works together in this particular venue offers new context and meanings.
According to Tagore, who co-curated the exhibition with Marius Kwint, the show sets out to explore "the artistic entanglements that have manifested with the forces of globalisation and dissolution of cultural boundaries". Works by artists of different nationalities are, therefore, positioned next to one another to give new perspectives and invite fresh interpretation. So Christo's sketches of cityscapes stand opposite Robert Polidori's triptych of a sprawling favela, or slum, in Rio de Janeiro, for example.
The curators also make use of the venue to showcase large-scale works such as Eddi Prabandono's multi-looped Vespa (After Party/ Living the High Life) and Chun Kwang Young's durian-like installation Aggregation 15. The scale of some of these works somewhat overshadows Wong's.
By including Aaron Taylor Kuffner's Balinese gamelan installations in both the courtyard and second floor exhibition space, Tagore reminds us that art is not only to be seen but also heard, and that simple sounds can soothe the soul.
The Venice Biennale, the world's oldest and most prestigious international contemporary art show, which celebrates its 120th anniversary this year, opens to the public on Saturday May 9. This year, 136 artists from 53 countries are taking part in the main exhibition at the biennale's central pavilion and in Venice's Arsenale district.

TIFF has come and gone, but O&B Canteen thankfully remains. Grabbed a quick breakfast one morning before an event at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and was happy that I could get something quick, well-priced, and tasty – nearby! The Bacon Butty (right, $4) with Canadian bacon (not the cured kind, I guess) and maple mayo. Simple and chock-full of bacon. Could use a bit of green to balance things out. The Canteen Butty (left, $5) was the clear winner for me. With cheddar, smoked ham, Canteen catsup, and topped with a fried egg. I’d order the Canteen Butty again and ask for it without their signature catsup, as I don’t think it needs more dressing than that lovely runny yolk.
Of course, there are other breakfast options to be had, like croissants (pass) and tarts and the like. O&B Canteen also serves lunch and dinner, so I may make a visit at some point.

t underestimate them, they are not ordinary undead! In the undead world, they are the most Powerful existence, unlike the other three worlds, the average blood pressure for teenagers masters of the Necronomicon will not be promoted to other dimensions because of their own strength.
The main criterion for them to recruit high blood pressure vomiting dizziness talents is that there are not many talents! And the loyalty must be enough.
In terms of power, Calvin s spiritual power in the Necronomicon has been raised to the fourth level, and there will naturally be breakthroughs in this world, but if this trend continues, the spiritual power of the Necronomicon will increase in the future.
He took a deep breath, and then his floating body slowly fell to the ground.
He was really frightened by Boss s wild words, What high blood pressure vomiting dizziness does it mean to control Tianyuan City within a month, or control it secretly.
The entire Bright Continent seems to be becoming more and more peaceful, and the major forces are getting along very well, and now the Yemi Empire also has advanced elementist colleges established by the four major guilds, including the Dugan Empire, the most powerful era of elementalists.
you were pregnant and gave birth to a child, I how long for aspirin to lower blood pressure thought that you had a new baby high blood pressure vomiting dizziness lover.
He rubbed his head on Calvin s arm as a friendly gesture, Calvin also smiled slightly, wiped its snake head with his hand, and then pointed to the three-color pattern snake into the hole, and said, Come on, you are familiar here, take us in and high blood pressure vomiting dizziness difference between tenex and clonidine new report on blood pressure meds have a look.
You have a lot of hidden secrets, Rhonathan, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately found that Kevin had returned to quiet.
Grabbing Wenman s arm with one hand, he wanted to drag Wenman back into the house, and at the same time shouted to everyone, Don t approach everyone.
Presumably, the ability to teleport in space may also be useless, But what makes Calvin happy is that when his thoughts move, he is transferred from the abdomen of the ice and snow bone dragon by using the space high blood pressure vomiting dizziness transfer ability of the air-treading sword.
If it was Bingren himself, if he could guard such vcan blood pressure medication raise esonophils a magic spar ore vein for cultivation, he would be reluctant to leave in his high blood pressure vomiting dizziness heart! And just when he endured the shock in his heart and walked quickly towards the cave.
It s just a High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness pity that the god of darkness is obviously high blood pressure vomiting dizziness difference between tenex and clonidine an unlucky guy, Long, long ago, he was killed by the god of darkness.
And now the empty mark is a puppet in the hands of the blood moon, he blood pressure excersise has no resistance to the blood moon! Nothing but obedience.
Of course, there is also a large part of the reason, because although the environment is harsh, it has a wide variety of magical beasts! high blood pressure vomiting dizziness And the savage tribe of savages! As for these savage warriors, let dr mj caullier blood pressure meds alone being aggressive, it is a common thing to occasionally find outsiders, grab them, tie them high blood pressure vomiting dizziness to the grill, and bring them over to eat.
He felt that he should show such a gesture at the high blood pressure vomiting dizziness last moment! Seeing the other party showing such a gesture, in measuring blood pressure the lower reading is the Kevin was a little surprised, but Xianyun didn High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness t show any mercy, the move has been fully displayed, and the next moment the picture is frozen! Void Spirit s figure has emerged, and a dagger in her hand has pierced into Kongken s neck adhd meds high blood pressure a little deep, but she stopped at this time.
Hearing the words, Blood Moon couldn t help but is it possible to get off of my blood pressure medicine glance at Boss, and said casually: The above is the elemental god! Also known as the main god! The nine main elemental gods are all strong in this realm! As for the god of death.
His eyes high blood pressure vomiting dizziness saw Kawen holding a long sword, and suddenly cut out a Sword energy, and then a person how to reduce high blood pressure from stress came out does watermelon raise blood pressure from synthetic snake venom blood pressure medication under the humble tree canopy! He easily resisted Kawen s sword qi, but strangely, behind him, another identical Kawen appeared, and he slapped it being thrown into big pharma blood pressure meds lightly, and this person completely became a burning High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness man.
Approaching the Rakshasa level, At this time, in the human world, in High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness the Bright Continent, on the southern edge of the high blood pressure vomiting dizziness Barbarian Territory, the green-skinned monster will topamax lower blood pressure boy has gradually approached how long do you have to wait to drink wine after your blood pressure medication the location of the magic spar mine.
He knows his own intelligence high blood pressure vomiting dizziness very well, and sometimes even thinks arrogantly that as long as he wants, he can smooth out how complicated things are, and he can figure it out! However, high blood pressure vomiting dizziness in the face of such a woman, he didn t even notice the other s feelings at all.
It s just a acne medicine pill blood pressure pity that the wounds caused are still high diastolic blood pressure chart too small, Although both ice and snow bone dragons feel the pain of the soul trauma, this can only arouse their anger even more.
They glanced new heart blood pressure medication causing edema at the cracks on their dragon claws, What damage did he cause, his dragon claws almost broke.
And how to lower blood pressure before test what Boss endured in the extreme north glacier rarely mentioned to the blood moon, that is, after the serious injury, he would only mention the details to the blood moon.
Blood Moon temporarily escaped the catastrophe, but as the thunder and fire enchantment around him gradually disappeared, it won t take long for his hiding place to be exposed.
After the hypertension drug treatment official mission, these twelve people officially formed an army, can lisinopril cause bradycardia but the duty of the executor is to carry out the mission! And their original mission was to protect an important person, that High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness is Hua Tianyu, but because of the importance of Calvin, Emperor Sailu would transfer twelve people to Calvin s side.
This is hope, and Calvin has a lot of good things in his hands, If the magic spar mineral vein still exists, there may be hope to take out a small half of it and exchange it with old man Liu, but unfortunately, that thing was completely absorbed by Calvin three years ago.
When he saw the shape, Calvin also thought that this kind of artifact should be a restraint type, but the streamer was completely attack type, and the sharp barbs on it were difficult to the naked eye.
When I think of it, in that savage realm, I can use the high blood pressure vomiting dizziness dark element force unscrupulously, and in the high blood pressure vomiting dizziness tingling blood pressure medicine magic spar ore vein deep in the center of high blood pressure vomiting dizziness difference between tenex and clonidine the mountain, crazy absorb the energy inside for my own use! Calvin trembled with excitement.
But now it seems that this thing is more like a formation motivated by the elemental force of thunder and fire! It is much more complicated than what I thought before, and it is true that the energy body that can make up for the cracks in space is naturally not something that Calvin can easily imagine.
Of course, the more he talked, the more happy he became! At that time, I had no way to be what medication is used to decrease blood pressure sure that you were the murderer of my father, but I already had some guesses in my heart, and it turned does prednisone lower your blood pressure out that I was right.
or even let you do it! He doesn t care at all, just to break through to a higher level.
The knife net, and then the dark elemental force poured out, high blood pressure vomiting dizziness The defense is good, but I can t control this move! Explosion! Boss s voice sounded in Mu Yufeng s ears again.
At this time, they had no choice, their lives were in the hands of others, and now they could only try to restore their own strength, even if they died, They have to fight together.
Said, it is already the end of the battle! Boss s guess was correct, Just after the air kill and the empty mark collided with the power of the soul, the shock wave of the soul spread around, and Boss used the space transfer in an emergency to get out of that high blood pressure vomiting dizziness area.
I don t know how many high blood pressure vomiting dizziness people are staring at the position of the empty mark, and they have been prying for a long blood pressure pills sudent hair loss web md time, and there are not a few people who are waiting blood pressure fluctuates a lot even with medications for the opportunity.
It s only the foods that lower blood pressure now go take the first step to stack them all together, and now Boss just combines the seal of the god of thunder and the quit drinking how long to lower blood pressure seal of the god of fire! The Seal of Darkness High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness.

is the goal of Boss s next fusion.
The High Blood Pressure Vomiting Dizziness speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth is ten times faster than that of ordinary people.
called, Obviously he misunderstood that Calvin was going to play with him.
Xianyun s expression changed uncertainly, and then he said, Furthermore, there may be other hidden secrets in this, and it is useless to speculate on us now.
Of course he would also be eager to explore, But lower abdominal pain and high blood pressure Calvin has a vague impression of the world beyond that.
He didn t know until now what the true intention of Blood Moon s visit was.

Growing incidents of dissatisfaction among ticket seekers and resultant chaos and damage to property by angry supporters have forced the Gujarat Congress and BJP to install CCTV cameras inside and outside party offices and insure office assets.
Congress workers went on a rampage recently in Ahmedabad. Even the BJP is not immune from such behaviour by unruly workers.
Given the increase of such incidents, the parties have fitted CCTV cameras to keep an eye on every nook and corner of party offices.
"We have installed CCTV cameras in all big party offices to keep the premises safe," Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manoj Doshi told IBN7.
The state Congress has insured the main party office for a whopping Rs 2.5 crore.
"The infrastructure is put in place for at least 25 years. So the party has insured the costly stuff," said Congress leader Rohit Patel.
Both the national parties have taken to technology to protect their properties from unhappy leaders and workers who often go on a rampage to vent their ire. Time will tell how much these measures will help them protect their assets.
The state goes into polls on 13 and 17 December.

Having been without a holiday since the US in June, I thought I had better take one before I started experiencing withdrawal symptoms! The choice was hard, but I decided on sun, scuba diving and slumming on a beach...thus the Red Sea.
I went through a UK company called OonasDivers (the one I went through also for my liveaboard 2 years ago...see the post from Nov 07) and booked myself on a 9-day scuba package to Umbi Diving Village, Sharks Bay (about 20mins from Sharm El Sheik airport and further away still from Sharm itself...thank god!). I invited my very good friend Sera and her very good friend Ria. And what a blast we had!!
Umbi Diving Village is fab_u_lous...lots of character and well run. The accommodation we chose was great (air con, bathroom, balcony, view) and the dive school very well run. My only criticism would be the quality of their dive gear (leaking tanks are not a good way to start any dive holiday!). But other than that the dive guides were fun and professional, the boats in very good running order, and never more than 4 divers to a guide. They were catering to everyone from complete beginner to those who had over 500 dives under their belts.
I can't say I saw anything larger (or should I say more dangerous) than a very large napoleon fish which was about half the size of a human. But the coral was amazing, the fish life opulent, and not that many boats around as it wasn't peak season. We chose the best time as the weather was about 35 during the day/25 during the night, low humidity, not busy and the water temp around 28 degrees. Couldn't ask for more.
I can't say we actually did much outside of diving (me), snorkelling, and lying on the beach (Sera, Ria and me), but that was fine as we had our duty free alcohol, our balcony and each other. We also socialised with other divers who were a great bunch to be around, and enjoyed the array of fab (if not limited) Egyptian food on offer.
Saying that, Ria and myself did an all-day boat trip out to Tiran Island...and unbeknown to us, the boat will filled with 28 Egyptians and 2 of us! We were the only westerners onboard and I think we were more a shock to them then they were to us!! It was funny though...particularly when we stopped for snorkelling as half of them couldn't swim at all, and so they wore life jackets (although only 3 were available on the whole boat) and the snorkelling guide had to have a life saving ring with him to drag them along!
All in all, we had a brilliant time and though I stayed on an extra 2 days after Sera/Ria went home, I could have stayed there for another week. Oh, well, I'll just have to go back next year!

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) -- The Emerging Black Composers Project is a 10-year program at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music that spotlights early-career Black American composers.
"Being a composer, it's a challenging task, regardless of age, regardless of color. There are many people who don't get the opportunity to even hear their music," said Jonathan Bingham, a 2021 EBCP winner. "When we move forward into the 21st century, there is a shift in demographics. We want to keep the audience membership healthy in classical music."
Since 2020, the project has encouraged entries from Black composers under 35. Recipients are awarded a cash prize, mentorship and performance of their work by the San Francisco Symphony conducted by music director Esa-Pekka Salonen.
"A lot of black composers have been told in years past that there was no place for them on the podium, there was no place for them on stands of musicians across the world and that has changed," said Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, the chair of the project and the resident conductor of engagement and education for the San Francisco Symphony. "So now is the moment to help young Black composers flourish, to nurture them and to provide them with role models that they can look to and to have them represented on stage and in concerts all over the world."
A common concern among those driving this effort is a lack of arts programs in low-income public schools as well as a lack of exposure to classical music.
Students who have access to musical instruments and lessons and who get the chance to hear performances in a concert hall early in their lives might be attracted to a career later on. Institutions backing this project acknowledge their responsibility as influencers on culture.
"If you want to build relationships with communities -- you want children to see themselves in new roles for themselves -- you have to model it," said David Stull, the president of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. "If we're not reflecting all of our communities and all of us and welcoming the totality of our complete community into concert spaces, into this world and all of the music and cultural import that comes with that, then we're failing in that role."
Another common goal of those involved in the project is increasing the diversity of the audience for classical music.
"Maybe someone comes into a concert hall and sees no one that looks like them. That can be very, very intimidating and very alienating so what we're doing about it is this: we're trying to put more Black composers on the stands of musicians around North America," Bartholomew-Poyser said. "Black composers are here now, they have been for years as well and now we will shine the light."
Bingham says he wants to see classical music reframed so it doesn't get labeled elitist. He compares the challenge of composing to being an author, working alone for years hoping someone will pick up your work and share it with the world. As a winner of the project, he wants both to increase awareness of his compositions and shine a spotlight on others.
"The person on stage is a reflection of those in the audience so we want to have a more diverse stage going forward so, that way, we can have a diverse and healthy audience," he said.
The deadline for applications is Feb. 14. Winners will be announced in the spring.

I was excited to receive debut novel In the Reins in the mail for review on Equus Education. The author Carly Kade has already been profiled, taking the time to answer some questions about her equestrian author career. Why not take a look?
In the Reins tells the story of country, turned city, turned country again cowgirl Devon Brooke. After moving to the city and pursuing life as a journalist, Devon becomes disillusioned. Her relationship with her fiancée is lacking much. Her career although promising, can be carried out from anywhere and when she discovers infidelity in her relationship, her reaction is to flee to the country.
Devon is like an excited girl, deciding she will once again take up her passion: horses. As she endeavours to find her dream horse, she seeks too, a place to board her equine. A place that will be quiet; a place that will have minimal people. She just wants to be alone with her horse and left alone by humanity. What she most definitely does not want is an interfering male.
When Devon finds what seems to be the perfect place to board her newly acquired mare Faith, she is excited about rediscovering her cowgirl skills. Excited until she realises that her enthusiasm isn’t enough to train her young and green horse.
Cue McKennon Kelly, a cowboy that works the horses at Greenbriar where Devon is boarding Faith. McKennon has a way with horses; a way that Devon needs to learn to develop a safe working and riding relationship with Faith.
Against her better judgement – and a warning from the owner of Greenbriar – Devon finds herself drawn to the good looking cowboy. Her desire for his horse skills – and his body – takes over to the point that she is unable to think clearly. Her attraction to McKennon puts herself and her horse at risk. Is it worth it?
In the Reins is a well named novel that features a lot of horse training moments. The horse side of the story I found to be really enjoyable and informative. The desire Devon harbours for McKennon I found to be too intense, to the point that a grown woman would put herself and her horse in danger to chase a cowboy around the performance world.
Throw in another cowboy who is keen to get his hands on Devon and you have an adult romance that features a lot of innuendo and lust filled pages. Definitely a read for adult horse fans. I would have enjoyed the story even more if the physical desire of the main character was taken down a notch or two.


Probably not PERFECT, but it'll be damn good for a gravity operated one. I just had problems with the blade bouncing around, getting stuck, and not locking. Because I was using scrap metal, it's sorta hard to make exact measurements so everything can fit snug, without being too tight. (Haha, sexual reference.) Anything perfect would involve a spring so I could retract it in any manner. Being a gravity model, I'm at a disadvantage. I can only extend it while having it pointed towards the ground, and bring my hand up to retract it. Be not discouraged, it'll hopefully still be weaponized, depending on how good I can get the edge for the blade, if anything it'll have a damn good point to stab like a spike, and the lock should be grand. I like the drawer slide designs, and I honestly feel like I could've made one, but I didn't want to make a copy. For once I wanted to create, not duplicate.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. - The scoring line on their second goal sounded like something out of an old Red Army box score - Nestorov from Kucherov and Namestnikov.
Forwards like Danick Gauthier and Cedric Paquette added a dash of French-Canadian flavor too.
The Syracuse Crunch, who might have the most skilled and diverse roster in the AHL, are not the team to go to a shootout with, and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins found that out the hard way Wednesday night.
Swiss center Tanner Richard - pronounced like Rocket Richard, not Richard Nixon, of course - and Kucherov converted their attempts while Latvian rookie Kristers Gudlevskis stopped all four Penguins shooters as Syracuse came away with a 4-3 shootout win Wednesday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena.
"They've got some serious skill up front," said Penguins center Andrew Ebbett, who scored two goals. "(Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers has) been standing on his head for us all year. He's a little bit frustrated right now, but when you don't score any goals (in the shootout), I think the blame falls on the forwards for that extra point."
While Syracuse was dominant in the shootout, the Penguins took a serious run at winning the game in overtime.
In the first minute, Harry Zolnierczyk was awarded a penalty shot after being hooked on a breakaway. His attempt skidded off the tip of Gudlevskis' right pad.
In the last minute, Chris Conner made a nifty drop pass in front to get Gudlevskis out of position and give Brian Dumoulin a shot from the slot. Syracuse's Evan Rankin made a diving save to keep the game going.
"I didn't even see the guy diving across," Dumoulin said. "Obviously I'd like to have that one back and put it in the back of the net, but it is what it is. He made a great play. Hats off to him."
Overall, the Penguins seemed glad to pick up a point in the standings largely because they got better as the game went on.
They had a hard time handling Syracuse's skill in the first period.
Before the game was five minutes old, Gauthier picked off an Ebbett pass in the defensive zone, flew up the left wing and beat Deslauriers with a backhand move. Later in the period, the Crunch flung the puck around on the power play and took a 2-1 lead on a goal by Nikita Nesterov.
The Penguins answered both goals.
Midway through the first, Zolnierczyk took a Zach Sill pass, shot from the right wing and followed his own rebound to make it 1-1. Midway through the second, Ebbett picked up a loose puck behind the net, wrapped around the cage and slipped a shot inside the far post to tie it 2-2.
The Penguins also began to limit Syracuse's time and space more effectively.
"Teams have to make adjustments," Dumoulin said. "They have such skilled forwards. They're going to try to make plays. It's more of a safe play for us to stay inside the dots and keep them to the outside."
Overall, the game was evenly played, with both teams taking 26 shots on goal and neither team dominating for long stretches. The two goals scored in the third period were a perfect example of that.
Gudlevskis made an ill-advised decision to go out after a loose puck and Ebbett poked it past him to give the Penguins a 3-2 lead with 7:13 to play. Deslauriers dropped a rebound he normally would have smothered to set up Rankin for the tying goal three minutes later.
"Probably both situations could have been handled differently," coach John Hynes said. "Even that was even."

Life Cycle Assessment of organic and conventional conserved crushed tomatoes for the Swedish market
Abstract: The current global food system has been identified as responsible for a large part of global environmental impact, and the environmental impact of agriculture has significantly increased mainly due to its production practices and activities included in the entire product supply chain. The tomato supply-chain has an important role in the global agri-food industry, identifying California, Italy, China, Spain, Portugal and Turkey as the leading producers globally, and Italy and Spain among the main exporters of tomato products in Europe. The aim of this study was to investigate the production phases of packed crushed tomato, and to identify the hot-spots along the supply chain. In particular, information on global warming potential and energy demand was collected. As regards the packaged crushed tomato imported to Sweden, a simplified LCA based on a LCA review was conducted to identify the hot-spots of the supply chain. To identify the origin of the products, 16 different packages of crushed tomato organic and conventionally produces were collected, available in the main grocery stores in Stockholm. The information regarding the production activities were obtained through contact with some of the processing companies of the collected products and through published studies. Carbon footprint and energy use were calculated for the agriculture, processing, packaging and transport phases. The calculations did not include activities related to seeds production and transportation, the consumption level, secondary/tertiary packaging and waste disposal. The results show that the products collected come from Southern Europe, especially from Italy. None of the products selected were produced in Sweden or contain tomatoes with Swedish origin, this underlines that the Swedish consumption of crushed tomato product is currently totally dependent on imports from southern Europe. Six out of sixteen are certified organic products through the European organic logo, some of these also show KRAV logo certification. The results of the simplified LCA show the transport and process phase to be the main environmental burden among the phases considered in terms of carbon footprint and energy use. Furthermore, by analyzing the total impact of both conventional and organic products, the impact of the two systems is very similar. Indeed, the carbon footprint obtained is 0.32 kg CO2-eq and 0.31 kg CO2-eq and the energy use is 5 MJ and 4.9 MJ for the organic and conventional product respectively, considering 400 grams of packed crushed tomato as a functional unit. The values obtained in the cultivation phase are those that determine the slight difference between the two systems, both carried out in the open field. The most important measures to reduce the impacts in terms of global warming potential and energy use strongly depend on the cultivation systems used, the type of energy used in the process, the packaging, and the type of vehicle chosen for the transport route.

Chittenden County Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale announces bid for U.S. House
Chittenden County Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale announced Thursday morning that she’s running for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Ram Hinsdale, a first-term state senator who previously served in the Vermont House of Representatives, joins Lt. Gov. Molly Gray and Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint in the Democratic primary for Vermont’s lone seat in the U.S. House.
Incumbent Congressman Peter Welch announced he’s running for the U.S. Senate seat opening up as a result of the retirement next year of Sen. Patrick Leahy.
All three Democratic candidates for the U.S. House have pledged to support progressive policy initiatives such as the Green New Deal.
Ram Hinsdale told VPR that her track record demonstrates a deeper commitment to the cause.
“I was fighting for the Green New Deal before it had a name – that’s how I got into politics in Vermont. I introduced Vermont’s first environmental justice bill in 2007 as a senior in college,” she said.
Ram Hinsdale previously ran for statewide office in 2016, when she placed third in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor with 17.3% of the vote.
“I got to every corner of the state, and I learned a lot in that race,” she said. “I really think I learned that an uphill battle is OK. You leave everything on the table, and you still deliver on the results, even if you’re not ultimately successful in the election.”
Ram Hinsdale said that as the daughter of a Jewish American mother and Indian immigrant father who saw their restaurant venture fail, she has firsthand experience with the struggles of working Vermonters.
“And I think my lived experience has propelled me to be someone who’s on the steps of the Statehouse with teachers fighting for their pensions, to be alongside working Vermonters fighting to create more access to housing and homeownership, and to recognize that the fight for our climate is also one that matters deeply to people who are mobile home park residents or migrant farmers,” she said.
Ram Hinsdale said she’ll announce early fundraising totals on Friday.
Balint announced last week that she’s raised more than $200,000 so far for her campaign.

BY: DANIEL KORN
Like most kids who grew up with the benefit of having older siblings, I watched a lot of The Simpsons when I was probably a bit too young to understand certain things about the show, the most striking of which was the utter failure of “The Homer”—a monstrosity of a car designed by Homer Simpson whose high manufacturing cost completely bankrupts his brother Herb’s company. As a child who thought real-life things were mostly boring, the idea of a lime green, double-domed, tail-finned vehicle whose horn blared “La Cucaracha” seemed like a recipe for success.
A look at Brazilian artist and designer Eduardo Galvani’s “Nimbus e-Car” proves that I’m not the only one. Looking like the lovechild of The Homer and a classic Volkswagen Kombi, the concept car is a hybrid that uses a lithium ion battery “which works simultaneously with a micro combustion generator,” says Galvani’s page on the car.
Let me once again accentuate the fact that this is a concept car, which means it is not being made for the public market. Actually, the Nimbus is probably a step behind a concept, as its physical representation consists of nothing more than some nicely-rendered 3D models.
With that out of the way, let’s talk about some of its proposed features, which read rather adorably like the inventions of a rambling 8-year-old. The car is made out of lightweight materials like titanium and aluminum, and is covered in solar panels so that it can generate some of its own energy. It can switch to 4-wheel-drive at the flick of a button. It has panoramic windows and a central display that works as a removable touchscreen. Sealing the deal is an internal mini-fridge that has the space for eight cans.
Listen, we’re all aware that this thing is never coming out. There are no development plans for it currently, building a real-life model would be too expensive with tech that doesn’t yet exist, and its visual design is a weird marriage of vintage and futurism—anything but modern. But I like it. I like it! It’s esoteric, forward-thinking, and dopey, with a childish vibe that taps directly into the part of my brain that still thinks The Homer is pretty cool. And even if the Nimbus isn’t economically feasible, there’s value in entertaining these outsider ideas. I’m reminded of the fantastic 2013 documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune, which discusses how a never-made film adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel still managed to be hugely influential on science fiction cinema.
The Nimbus probably won’t hit those levels of influence, but maybe somewhere there’s a businessman seeing the prototype for the first time and thinking about how to implement some of these ideas into next year’s models. The Nimbus might be farfetched, but it’s important that it, and other concept cars like it, exist.


WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers of both parties called yesterday for Congress to consider whether new restrictions are needed on government surveillance of communications involving people in the United States.
Congress is deeply divided over whether the Bush administration acted illegally in carrying out warrantless domestic eavesdropping in hopes of detecting terrorist plots. Several influential lawmakers said Congress should begin playing a larger role in determining how the surveillance should be run.
"I know of no member in Congress, frankly, who if the administration came and said, 'Here's why we need this capability,' that they wouldn't get it," Sen. John McCain, who has questioned the legality of the eavesdropping, told Fox News Sunday.
"Let's have the administration come to Congress. I think they will get that authority, whatever is reasonable and needed, and increased abilities to monitor communications are clearly in order," the Arizona Republican said.
Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said: "If the president came to us and said, 'There are changes in technology, changes in the threat to America, we need to change and modify the law,' you bet he would have a Congress ready to work with him," Durbin said.
On ABC's This Week, Sen. John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, attacked Karl Rove for his remarks to Republican activists last week, in which the president's top political adviser said that "some important Democrats clearly disagree" with the Bush administration's belief that "it is in our national security interest" to know if terrorism suspects are communicating with individuals in the United States.
"What [Rove is] trying to pretend is somehow Democrats don't want to eavesdrop appropriately to protect the country. That's a lie," Kerry said. "We're prepared to eavesdrop wherever and whenever necessary in order to make America safer."
If the administration has determined that the setup is unworkable, Kerry said, "then come to us and tell us how you can do it. ... There is a way to protect the Constitution and not go off on your own and violate it."
Rep. Jane Harman of California, the top Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told This Week that she believes the administration broke the law by failing to fully brief the intelligence panels on the secret National Security Agency program.
But Rep. Peter Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he had been invited in the past to ask questions about the program and consider whether it was legal.
"The problem we have right now is that we have a whole bunch of Democrats who were for this program before they were against it," Hoekstra said. "And the only thing that has changed is that the story was illegally, in a damaging way, leaked to The New York Times."
White House press secretary Scott McClellan issued a written response to the Democrats' comments, accusing them of engaging "in misleading and outlandish charges about this vital tool that helps us do exactly what the 9/11 Commission said we needed to do -- connect the dots."
Paul Richter writes for the Los Angeles Times.


A 1.2 million euro investment in Newmarket-on-Fergus town centre has been described as a game changer for the community there.
The funding will see the derelict Tradaree Arms transformed into a hive of activity, providing 16 spaces for trainee chefs, as well as a start-up hub for local food producers.
An alcohol and drug free recreational space for young people will also be developed, while the existing meals on wheels service will be extended.
The funding is being provided by Obair, the LEADER programme, the government and the Tomar Trust.
It’s hoped the project will lead to employment opportunities for young people there and Clarecastle Fine Gael TD Joe Carey says work on it will begin very soon:

Arrhythmia: A Faulty Heart Rhythm
The heart is a pumping machine that moves blood to the lungs, and then once the blood is filled with oxygen, to the body's organs. But the heart is also a rhythm machine with finely tuned electrical circuits. It is actually this electrical system that starts and keeps the pumping mechanism moving.
The heart's electrical circuit begins in the right atrium, one of the heart's two upper chambers, with a signal originating in a group of specialized cells called the sinoatrial node or SA node. The SA node is often called the heart's natural pacemaker because it literally sets the pace at which the heart beats.
The electrical signal spreads from the right atrium to the left atrium and then travels down to the ventricles, the heart's two lower chambers. In response to the electrical signal, the ventricles' muscle cells contract and pump blood into the arteries. (See "How the Heart Works" for more information).
When the heart is healthy, it has a normal rhythm between 60 and 100 beats per minute (bpm). When the heart's rhythm is slower or faster than normal, the rhythm is considered to be abnormal and is called an arrhythmia. Arrhythmias can occur in either the ventricles or the atria, and sometimes occur in both the upper and lower heart chambers.
Atrial fibrillation -- also called AF or A-Fib -- is the most common arrhythmia. In the next section, we'll see what what it is.

Sporadic gliomas in companion dogs provide a window on the interaction between tumorigenic mechanisms and host environment. We compared the molecular profiles of canine gliomas with those of human pediatric and adult gliomas to characterize evolutionarily conserved mammalian mutational processes in gliomagenesis. Employing whole genome-, exome-, transcriptome- and methylation-sequencing of 81 canine gliomas, our cross-species comparative genomic analysis provides unique insights into glioma etiology and the chronology of glioma-causing somatic alterations, and rationalizes sporadic canine glioma as a preclinical model tailored to measuring treatment efficacies in patients with canine or human glioma. Here, we provide high-throughput multi-omics sequencing data in binary alignment map (BAM) format for the largest canine glioma cohort to date. This dataset includes baseline pathologic, MRI and genomic features of treatment-naive naturally-occurring canine glioma. Multi-omic data for all 81 subjects can be found in the Integrated Canine Data Commons. Radiology imaging are available for 57 of these subjects, and pathology imaging for 76 subjects. The data were collected from 5 different veterinary institutions' patient populations. Clinical MRI are available prior to any treatment, and surgical biopsy and/or tissues collected at necropsy are provided as H&E stained sections. The tumors have been classified with a harmonized classification scheme developed by veterinary and physician neuropathologists. The genomic features were described using whole exome, whole genome, RNAseq and methylation profiling.
This is the first dataset of its kind to comprehensively describe and report the clinical, pathologic, imaging and genomic landscape of naturally-occurring canine glioma. This work serves the cancer research community by providing the necessary multi-parametric data to define the translational relevance of this canine tumor as a model for its human counterpart(s). Inclusion of appropriate canine glioma patients with similar and/or relevant features can be studied in the context of comparative oncology clinical trials to advance questions in cancer biology and drug development.
About the Integrated Canine Data Commons
NCI's Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) charged the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) to build the Integrated Canine Data Commons (ICDC), a cloud-based repository of spontaneously-arising canine cancer data. ICDC was established to further research on human cancers by enabling comparative analysis with canine cancer. The data in the ICDC is sourced from multiple different programs and projects; all focused on canine subjects. The data is harmonized into an integrated data model and then made available to the research community. The ICDC is part of the Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), an initiative from NCI’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT). Bioinformatic analysis of the ICDC data is accomplished using the CRDC’s Cloud Resources.

Israel has three days to stop Iran developing nuclear weapons, warns former U.S. ambassador
Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN John Bolton has warned that Israel has just days to launch a strike against Iran's Bushehr reactor
Israel has just days to launch a military strike and stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has warned.
The deadline was set by outspoken former envoy John Bolton, who claimed that time was running out for the West to crush Tehran’s atomic ambitions.
He said Iran is planning to bring its first Bushehr reactor online on Saturday, when a shipment of nuclear fuel will be loaded into the plant’s core.
At that point, he said it would be too late for Israel to attack the facility because it would spread radiation and affect innocent Iranian civilians.
‘Once that uranium, once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor, certainly once they’re in the reactor, attacking it means a release of radiation, no question about it,’ said Mr Bolton.
‘So if Israel is going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days,’ he told Fox News in the U.S.
If the Israelis fail to act, Mr Bolton said: ‘Iran will achieve something that no other opponent of Israel, no other enemy of the United States in the Middle East really has and that is a functioning nuclear reactor.’
But the former diplomat, who served as George Bush’s ambassador to the UN between 2005 and 2009, said he doubted Israel would attack Iran.
‘I’m afraid that they have lost this opportunity,’ he added.
The nuclear power plant in Bushehr, southern Iran, which is about to be loaded with fuel, which it insists is for peaceful purposes
An interior view of the plant. Once the fuel rods are inserted into the reactor, an attack would almost certainly release the radiation into the atmosphere, warned the ambassador
The plant in its port-side setting. Britain, the U.S. and other western powers believe the Iranians are covertly creating a nuclear warhead
Tehran continues to insist it is only building its atomic plant for peaceful purposes to provide cheaper electricity. But Britain, the U.S. and other western powers claim the Iranians are covertly creating a nuclear warhead.
Mr Bolton blasted Russia’s role in the development of the plant. ‘The idea of being able to stick a thumb in America’s eye always figures prominently in Moscow,’ he said.
Last night, Iran dismissed the possibility of an Israeli assault.
‘These threats have become repetitive and lost their meaning,’ said Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparasi.
‘According to international law, installations which have real fuel cannot be attacked because of the humanitarian consequences,’ he added.
Iranian officials said they have stepped up security at the Bushehr plant to protect it from any attacks.
The UN Security Council hit Tehran with a fourth set of sanctions in June over its nuclear programme, and the United States and European Union followed up with tougher punitive measures targeting Iran's banking and energy sectors.

Rangers have debts of £134m, claims report
Friday 06 April 2012
Rangers' administrators estimate that their total debts could top £134m, in a report to creditors published on the club's website. Of that more than £93m is being claimed by HM Revenue and Customs, relating to the so-called "big" and "small" tax cases, and unpaid VAT and PAYE.
The report also reveals that Rangers owe more than £3.3m to 12 football clubs in Scotland, England and throughout Europe, including Celtic, Hearts, Dundee United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Rapid Vienna.
It also notes that since Rangers went into administration in February, some six weeks ago, the club has lost more than £2.5m. The full extent of the potential liabilities has been unclear since the start of administration.
The creditors' report reveals, however, that the club owes money to 276 individuals, businesses and public bodies. Debenture owners – fans who loaned money to the club – are owed £7.7m, while taxpayer-funded creditors include Strathclyde Police (£51,882), Scottish Ambulance Service (£8,438), Culture and Sport Glasgow (£10,338), Glasgow City Council (£7,000), Argyll and Bute Council (£406), and Edinburgh City Council (£90).
To clubs, domestically Rangers owe: Hearts (£800,000), Dunfermline Athletic (£83,370), Dundee United (£65,981), Celtic (£40,337) and Inverness Caledonian Thistle (£39,805).
English clubs are also owed more than £700,000. This breaks down as: Manchester City (£328,248), Chelsea (£238,345) and Arsenal (£136,560).
European clubs are also owed more than £1.6m, including Rapid Vienna (£1,011,763), St Etienne (£252,212), Palermo (£205,513) and Orebro (£150,000).

A submarine seized off the Spanish coast over the weekend was carrying three tonnes of cocaine worth 100 million euros ($110 million), officials said Wednesday.
Police intercepted the 20-metre (65-foot) submarine — thought to be the first of its kind captured in Europe — off the northwestern region of Galicia on Saturday.
They were only able to determine the amount of drugs inside after they managed to refloat the vessel three days later and tow it to a nearby port.
They found 152 bundles containing three tonnes of cocaine, Spanish police said in a statement.
While traffickers, especially from Colombia, have been caught using submarines to transport cocaine into Mexico and the United States, police said Saturday’s seizure was “the first time that this system of transporting drugs has been detected in Europe”.
“This is a historic operation, which will mark a before and after,” government official Javier Losada de Azpiazu told reporters, confirming the drugs had a street value of 100 million euros.
A source close to the investigation had previously told AFP that the submarine came from South America but Losada de Azpiazu said police were still working to determine its exact origin.
A total of 240 agents took part in the operation, which was carried out in cooperation with police from Britain, Brazil, Portugal and the United States, he added.
Spanish police said they launched their investigation after receiving a tip that a “suspicious vessel” was headed to Spain “loaded with cocaine”.
The information came from the Lisbon-based Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre (MAOC), an international agency set up by several European Union states to coordinate anti-drug trafficking actions.

Creating a relaxing atmosphere in your bedroom depends on two key elements: the use of pleasant furniture and adorable colors. Wooden furniture, especially in bedrooms, can create a wonderful natural style, which, when combined with subtle colors, creates an ambiance that fits your brain and your eyes.
The white walls are perfect for decorating the bedroom, because it’s calming color, which gives a clean and sophisticated look, that can easily fit in with the colors of the remaining furniture. In these delightful designs, you should stay away from creating a contrast, because they are not sufficiently delicate, subtle, sophisticated and luxurious. Precious wood furniture combined with soft colors and white walls creates for you an oasis of luxury and refinement, where you can relax after a hard working day. If you are one of those who think outside the box, we present you one little more challenging idea. It is about luxury round bed for your master bedroom. Check out below, and see how beautiful can be your master bedroom. Enjoy!


JACKSON, Maine — When Freeman Anthony was growing up on Common Hill Farm in Jackson in the 1980s, he learned how to do a lot with a little.
“As my dad used to say: making chicken salad out of chicken [excrement],” he said in a recent telephone interview from Bellingham, Wash., where the 36-year-old project engineer now lives. “Using what you had and a little know-how to make it work.”
It’s a skill that comes in handy, especially in light of one of Anthony’s most recent projects — making a new sidewalk out of 5 tons of crushed-up old toilets, dubbed by his co-worker “poticrete.”
“The local folks think it’s cute and great,” he said. “Some think it’s kind of ridiculous, and what are we smoking down here?”
The 1993 Mount View High School graduate moved to the 80,000-resident West Coast college city several years ago. He works for the city of Bellingham, which he describes as having a “strong liberal and environmentally conscious mindset,” and spends much of his time on road rehabilitation projects there.
When the Bellingham Housing Authority received a federal grant last year to replace 400 old toilets with water-efficient models, a local nonprofit agency called Sustainable Connections helped get the city to use the leftover loos. That’s where Anthony came in.
“One of the folks that helped them get the grant knew that we’re into waste reduction,” he said. “That’s a lot of toilets. A few too many to put in your backyard as art.”
So the city worked with a concrete supplier to have the toilets crushed up and mixed with sand and cement to create the new construction material.
It was a trial and error method at first, he said.
“The first batch we used 40 percent crushed toilets. That was a little much. It was a little bony,” he said.
But when the mix was made with just 20 percent toilets, it was a different story.
“We said, ‘Hey, this is going to work out just fine,’” Anthony recalled.
Altogether, the poticrete was used to make about a city block’s worth of sidewalk in the Meador Kansas Ellis Trail project at the edge of downtown Bellingham.
While it doesn’t look or feel different, Anthony said, workers ground the edges down on one patch of sidewalk — for educational purposes.
“It’s very obvious in one spot. ‘Oh, look, there’s all the little pieces of toilets!’” he said.
The $850,000 project, which also improved more sections of sidewalk and road there before its completion last fall, earned the first Greenroads certification at the end of February. The Washington-based Greenroads Foundation, which is active in six or seven states, is aiming to be the “LEED of roadway design,” he said. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, rates high-performance green buildings around the world.
In addition to the poticrete sidewalks, Anthony said that the project included 80 tons of recycled concrete, a variety of different porous surfaces, low-impact stormwater techniques, low-energy lighting and more.
“We had enough progressive engineering in this to get certified,” he said.
“Concrete made with 20 percent porcelain, and 5 tons of toilets out of the landfill,” he said. “We’re real pleased.”

Handling and marketing Iowa sweet potatoes
Among vegetable crops of the United States, sweet potatoes rank second in value only to white potatoes. In 1939, a total of 862,000 acres was harvested, producing 72,679,000 bushels with a farm value of $54,413,000. In most southern states, sweet potatoes have a position in the diet similar to that of white potatoes in the North and East.
In recent years, carlot shipments of southern-grown sweet potatoes from Louisiana to northern markets have increased because of improvements in storage and other facilities, providing a more even distribution throughout the year.
