Was absent from Harvest Monday for the past 2 weeks as there was nothing in the garden to write about (ground was either still frozen and/or too wet) and the seedlings were coming along oh so slowly.
Needed to see some spring colors so wrote about the Observatory Garden at Central Park on 3/30/15.
Needed some cheers and smiles so wrote about the Delacorte Music Clock (also at Central Park) on 4/6/15.
Set foot in the veggie garden for the first time last Monday, it was a beautiful day to garden and I was so ready to get my hands dirty but the soil was still too wet so no work was done. Rained the next few days making the soil even wetter (soggy) and the week felt like winter instead of spring. There was no rain over the weekend and yesterday was a gorgeous day. Checked the veggie beds and decided to allow the soil to dry out a bit more. Today ought to be a good day to tidy up the garden, fertilize the garlic plants, reset the strawberry plants (if needed) and fertilize, plant out some seedlings, etc. as rain is predicted for tomorrow.
∗ ∗ ∗
Last year I decided to start my snow pea seeds indoor in 4-inch pots and transplanted the seedlings from the 4-inch pots directly into the garden early April. Was very successful and am doing the same again this year.
But due to the prolonged winter then the rain my garden was still not workable so decided to separate the seedlings individually (before they get too large and the roots are all tangled) then potted them up into biodegradable pots (my sister, Joyce, gave me the idea) allowing me to transplant the seedlings (pot and all) into the garden, as soon as the ground is ready (may be later this week) with minimum roots disturbance.
Bumping up the snap peas seedlings into individual pots is an extra step that I prefer not to take, but a gardener does what a gardener needs to do (under the circumstances) since old man winter refused to depart.
∗ ∗ ∗
I started rooting both the Purple and the Georgia Jet Sweet Potatoes on the same day, but as you can see from the photo below, the Purple’s slips (left) are ready for rooting but the Georgia Jet (right) needs more time.
Will be removing the purple sweet potato slips that are ready and plant them directly into containers (can also first root in water).
To learn more about starting sweet potato slips, click here.
To learn which end of the sweet potato to immerse in water, click here. Immersing the wrong end in water will result in rotted sweet potato and no slips.
∗ ∗ ∗
Had a large Purple SP and a large Georgie Jet SP that started to sprout.
Thinking: What if I cut off the sprouting part of each and root them in pro-mix, what will happen? Below are the results.
Had a Frazier White Sweet Potato with a long skinny section that was also sprouting so decided to also grow slips from the sprouts.
Conclusion: A whole sweet potato is not necessary for growing slips. In the future I will cut off and plant the sprouting end of the SP and feast on the rest.
∗ ∗ ∗
Failed experiment? May be may be not.
Some of you may recall from my 3/16/15 (click on link and scroll down) post my attempt at trying to root a pencil thin Okinawan sweet potato, to date, nothing is happening.
Uncovered the SP tuber and it is still firm but nothing is going on, no roots no sprouts, will continue to observe and see if eventually it will sprout.
∗ ∗ ∗
Yeah!!!!! I had color in my garden, one (1) single miniature iris.
Was not happy with the above photo but when I went to take another the next morning, my one and only flower was gone, a deer had it for breakfast or was it dinner?

Area third grader classes learned that America’s favorite food, pizza, begins on the farm and completed their year long learning about agriculture with a tour of Monical’s Pizza. Classes from Cowden, Herrick, Main Street - Shelbyville, Stewardson-Strasburg, and Windsor Schools came to see first hand how their pizza is prepared.
Third graders spent the year learning that the ingredients for a pizza originate on a farm. Shelby County Agriculture Awareness Committee taught monthly lessons based on the theme “From Farm to Pizza.”
Agriculture in the Classroom lessons began in September with a lesson on wheat followed by a lesson on fruits and vegetables. In the following months lessons on beef, pork and dairy were taught. The monthly lessons wrapped up with a tour showing students how all these raw agriculture products raised on farms are used to make a pizza.
Amy Rochkes, Shelby County Farm Bureau manager said, “The goal is to teach the farm to plate story and help students understand all of their food begins on a farm.”
The Shelby County Ag Awareness Committee would like to thank Mark Shanks and the staff at Monical’s Pizza for hosting the third grade classes.
For more information on Agriculture in the Classroom or the Shelby County Ag Awareness Committee, please call the Shelby County Farm Bureau at 217-774-2151

New State Law Cracking Down on Vaping
In June, Governor Greg Abbott signed House Bill 114 into law, marking a significant response to the growing concern surrounding e-cigarettes and vaping among our youth. This law specifies that any student found in possession of vaping-related items will be in violation of our Student Code of Conduct, resulting in a mandatory placement in a Disciplinary Alternative Education Placement (DAEP).
How This Might Impact Your Student
It's essential for parents to understand how this new law might affect their students. Even if your child possesses an e-cigarette without anything inside it, or any vaping-related component, part, or accessory on school grounds or at a school-related event, they could face a mandatory placement at a disciplinary alternative education placement (DAEP) for a first-time e-cigarette offense. Please be aware that students assume responsibility for any items knowingly within their possession, regardless of ownership.
During their time at the DAEP, students are not permitted to participate in school activities. Moreover, they may face removal from specific student clubs or organizations, depending on the rules and regulations of each organization. Additionally, students with DAEP placements do not qualify for final exam exemptions for that school year.
Parent/Guardian's Next Steps
As a parent or guardian, it's crucial to take proactive steps to ensure your student is informed about this new law. Here's what you can do:
- Have an open conversation with your student about the legislation.
- Encourage your student to be vigilant about the contents of their backpack, vehicle, and personal belongings.
- Remind your student not to allow friends to store prohibited items in their belongings or hold such items on behalf of others.
- Discuss the adverse health effects of vaping with your student.
5 Tips To Help Teens Avoid Nicotine
Teens may find that they're more tempted to vape or smoke during the holidays. Below are some tips you can share with teens to help them live and stay nicotine-free:
- Focus on health. Help teens use their holiday break to focus on eating well, getting exercise, and spending time with people who support them and their goals.
- Expect challenges and be prepared. Stress, anxiety, and even boredom may create the urge to vape. Teens can learn their vaping triggers, and be ready to fight the craving.
- Manage stress in a healthy way. Teens may want to reach for a vape or a cigarette when they feel stressed or anxious. However, they should know that this will not actually relieve stress and can make the stress they already feel worse. Staying calm by pausing and breathing deeply when feeling challenged may help some teens. Going for a hike outside or reaching out to a supportive friend or family member to talk may help, too. Teens can learn to manage stress in tough moments.
- Keep trying. If teens slip and vape, urge them to keep working on living nicotine-free. Thinking about what caused the urge to vape may help prevent the next slip. If teens are worried that they've become addicted, it will help to learn the signs of vaping addiction and find out how to get help.
- Learn more about staying nicotine-free. Check out the materials for students to learn the facts about vaping, and real-life stories to help teens understand the dangers of vaping nicotine. Visit Smokefree Teen, a website with information, tips, and resources to avoid nicotine and tobacco. The site includes sections called "Quit Vaping" and "Become Smokefree."
5 Tips For Adults To Help Teens Stay Nicotine-Free
Adults can also play a role in helping teens stay nicotine-free over the holidays—and all year long.
- Get the facts about vaping, and then share what you learn with teens. Check out the Print & Download section of the resource center for fact sheets about youth vaping, videos with pediatricians, and other resources to help you learn how to start and revisit an open conversation with teens.
- Learn how to identify vapes and "stealth" e-cigarettes.Teens may use vapes that look like other objects, such as smart watches. Or they may use disposable vapes. Find out how to spot these devices.
- Know the symptoms of nicotine addiction. Common signs of vaping addiction include an inability to stop vaping, or feeling anxious or irritable due to cravings when not vaping. These may signal that a teen needs help.
- Model healthy habits. Create tobacco-free environments. If you need help quitting, visit smokefree.gov.
- Be patient and understanding. Teens who use nicotine need help from caring adults. Be open to their questions about vaping, and visit FDA's Tobacco Education Resource Library to find up-to-date resources for you to share with teens as you continue the conversation.
Informative Resources for Parents and Students
We understand that addressing the issue of vaping requires access to reliable information. Here are some resources to help you navigate this conversation:

A brilliant and accessible rebuttal of The God Delusion from one of Christianity's most incisive thinkers
In Case for Religion Keith Ward turns his attention to the role, and the validity, of religion over the centuries and in the world today. His erudite yet informative and factual narrative outlines the various attempts that have been made throughout history to explain religion, including the anthropological, psychological, sociological and philosophical theories of key thinkers from Immanuel Kant to Sigmund Freud. Adopting a comparative approach, the book covers all the religious traditions from West and East alike, concluding in a compelling manner that not only are the world faiths much more than a series of theoretical perspectives, but that, in the face of discord and violence, religious understanding retains more resonance than ever before within our global community.
"This book contains all the familiar War characteristics of clarity, verve and humour." ― Church Times
"A lively and interesting survey" ― Reviews in Religion and Theology
"The book offers a simple introduction to its main features and provides a useful basic background as well as an invaluable resource for visual material, with clear photo-copiable line drawings of important features of a world faith, together with explanatory text." ― Christian Marketplace
"He writes so well that this rather difficult subject becomes completely gripping." ― The Good Book Guide
"Professor Ward will convince most reasonable readers that human nature would be poorer if the religious impulse were denied. He puts into more intelligent words than most of us could muster what it is which would be lost if we all became material atheists." ― The Spectator
"Ideal for serious students of religion." ― Publishers Weekly
About the Author
Keith Ward is Professor of Divinity, Gresham College, London and Regius Professor of Divinity, Emeritus, of the University of Oxford. He is author of the best-selling God: A Guide for the Perplexed, also published by Oneworld.

“I always give my best effort, but sometimes I push too hard.”
Jonny Diaz has always worked hard to make music that matters and gets heard. But what happens when God gives him a song, but he stops trying so hard to make sure it gets on the radio?
Jonny tells the story: “I just kind of put it out there, and then realized I needed to live out the words and just, kind of, step away and breathe. I spent months not even paying attention to how the song was doing on radio and not even really checking social media. And as I just kind of let God do His thing, He surprised me. As I came back to check on the song… I learned that the song was actually really connecting with people. I think it’s God saying, ‘See what happens when you just let go and let me do the work instead of you pushing so hard?”

Today, on April 20, protests resumed in Armenia against election of ex-president Serzh Sargsyan as prime minister. Protesters block city streets, sit in front of vehicles or leave their cars amid roads and highways to block traffic. Police have detained 16 protesters, including activists David Sanasaryan, David Petrosyan and Shahen Haroutiunyan.
“This is a wave-like process, a Velvet Revolution,” says Nikol Pashinyan, leader of #MyStep movement, oppositionist parliamentarian. He thanked Diaspora representatives, especially compatriots in Moscow and Los-Angeles for supporting the protests.
Yesterday, Pashinyan urged owners of heavy vehicles to join the protests by blocking streets with their vehicles.
To recall, protests and civil disobedience actions initiated by Nikol Pashinyan, oppositionist MP, leader of #MyStep movement, are aimed against election of Serzh Sargsyan, the ex-president, leader of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) as prime minister. Protesters planned to block the avenue leading to the parliament building on April 17 to prevent voting for Serzh Sargsyan’s election as prime minister. However, the police took unprecedented measures to lead parliamentarians into the building and ensure the voting. The parliament was surrounded with police, special equipment and wired fencing from all sides.
Serzh Sargsyan was elected as prime minister with 77 votes “for” and 17 votes “against.”
Pashinyan announced a start of a “Velvet Revolution” and urged protesters to block governmental buildings.

DJ Black Coffee says tie-up with Gallo Music will benefit fellow artists
A ground-breaking investment deal this week in which music icon DJ Black Coffee took a 20% stake in Gallo Music Investments is set to change the music landscape, putting power - and money - back in the hands of artists.
The internationally acclaimed DJ from Umlazi, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, said the R15m partnership has the potential to end the traditional adversarial relationship between artist and record label, ensuring that the musicians retain the rights to their work.
Maphumulo, 44, said the time has come to channel revenue back to the artists and support the sustainability of the music industry.
"For the longest time, there is only one party that has been in the business of music, and that is the record labels," he said.
"It is not their job to teach us how to handle our money or get involved in our lives, but as an artist, I thought we needed a structure that would help us do things better. That's the industry I want to build with Lebashe."
The Lebashe Investment Group acquired Gallo in March for R75m, adding the country's oldest and largest record label to its Arena Holdings media stable, which includes the Sunday Times.
Maphumulo began his music career in the mid-1990s, and caught global house music's attention when he took part in the Red Bull Music Academy in Cape Town in 2003.
In 2015 he was named Breakthrough DJ of the Year at the DJ Awards in Ibiza, and the following year he won the Best International Act - Africa category, at the BET Awards in Los Angeles.
Maphumulo said that historically, standard music contracts have never been in favour of artists.
We want to offer more than just a contract, and that is how the business will changeBlack Coffee
"We want to offer more than just a contract, and that is how the business will change," he said.
"We need to be putting money back into the artists with offerings like medical aid, life cover and salary protectors. We can and will create this support system to make sure that artists have money to look after their futures and those of their families."
Maphumulo said he is determined that artists will retain ownership of their intellectual property, citing the notorious case of Zulu singer Solomon Linda, who composed and recorded a song called Mbube in 1939.
"Discovered" years later by US folk singer Pete Seeger, it was reinvented as the global hit The Lion Sleeps Tonight, featuring in the Disney movie The Lion King.
Linda was never recognised in his lifetime and died in poverty in the 1960s.
"As a label we need to find a way to operate where we don't take rights away from artists," Maphumulo said. "Let's rather work together and have the relationship benefit everyone."
He said many artists who broke into the big time were overwhelmed by the sudden change in fortunes and squandered their earnings, often fading quickly from view.
"Music takes you to a place where you have money, and even though it's not a lot, it's a lot to you," he said.
"We find people irresponsible with the way they spend, yet they have the right to do that because it's theirs. But we want to offer services that allow artists to have a place they can come for advice and guidance.
"I need them [Gallo] to think money, and I will think artists; we'll meet in the middle."
As a teenager, Maphumulo suffered permanent injury to his left arm in a car accident and now uses only one hand to DJ.
He revealed his handicap via Instagram three years ago, saying he'd been bullied about it in his youth and as a result had hidden it from view.
But his life is all about music.
"People are emotionally invested in music, they listen to the songs and follow the artist's career and make memories with the music, so it affects a lot of people. It's important that we keep it playing."

A will is a declaration of a person’s intention before a notary by means of which he or she expresses how his or her wealth will be disposed of after his or her death.
Classification of wills:
1. Common: ordinary and extraordinary wills.
a. Ordinary: holographic, open and closed.
b. Exceptional: disabled, blind, epidemic etc.
2. Special: military, maritime and granted in a foreign country.
In the following, we will describe the common ordinary wills that exist, as they are the most commonly used in practice:
1) Holographic will: this is the will that the testator writes himself in the form and with the requirements that the law demands. In addition to complying with a series of legal requirements, once the testator has died, the heirs must present it to the notary for notarisation.
2) Open: a will is open when the testator manifests his intention in the presence of persons who are aware of its contents. There are two types of open wills:
a. The notarial open will: it offers the advantage that the notary keeps the will in his protocol and does not need subsequent acts.
b. The open will before witnesses: this type of will is only permitted in cases of epidemic or imminent danger of death.
3) Closed: when the testator, without revealing his last will, declares that it is contained in the envelope that he presents to the notary. It has the advantage of secrecy, but the disadvantage that many formalities are required for its execution.
If you want to make a will, our specialists can advise you on the possible content and the law that applies, especially when there are assets in several countries.

I call it shooting the messenger to avoid the message.

Isn’t this just to make reference to God optional? Why is this such a big deal? It wouldn’t make any sense to have someone swear to God if they don’t believe in God.
Phoenix, you need some lessons in common sense. You also need some lessons that God truly does exist–whether you believe in Him or not. Continue to disregard Him and you will go straight to hell.
Ok, and as I’m sure you would agree, where i go after death would be between God and myself. I appreciate your concern.
It still doesn’t explain why it would be included in oaths to Congress.
As a member of “The Reformed Al Dente Church of the Pastafarians” (not to be confused with, “The Pastafarians”, from whom we broke over whether the Prophet’s [peacoe be upon Him] descendants, or a devout believer, can lead our faith). The oath,”I swear to tell the truth, so help me, Half Baked Spaghetti Monster”, just doesn’t have the ring to it that , ” I swear to tell the truth, so help me, God”, has.
No, but in a boundary-less world full of avowals and expletives it’ll do as well as any other. As for faith that’s just a cloak lain over the mud of life for those too cowardly to be a real pagan or a minion in a culto de Barry. Don’t be a such a party pooper as we legislative leaders do our jobs and level the religious playing field and expose the frailty and impermanence of the values that operate behind the scenes of an oath. Values? we don’t need no stinkin . . .True North? no such thing.

Purpose of developmentIn the vision of the county development strategy 2040, Tartu County is the center of Estonian culture and education. Knowledge of Tartu as a green university and European capital of culture will spread across Europe in 2024. Tartu County is a place where you can live longer and healthier, raise children in a safe and clean environment, acquire a good education, do interesting and rewarding work and participate in the activities of active communities.
Our action is based on a co-creative way of thinking. We solve development bottlenecks that hinder the successful functioning of communities in cooperation with local government leaders and specialists. To this end, we have initiated co-operation bodies, where specialists in the field can exchange experiences, harmonize understandings of laws, etc. while staying in a common information space.
The comprehensive development of the region is important to us, therefore we are the leaders of South-Estonian co-operation, because the concerns of the five counties are common and they can be solved more successfully in mutual co-operation.
We also initiate and implement various projects across the county.
We believe that together we can go further!

Gambling is a worldwide phenomenon that has existed for centuries. Gambling does not discriminate by age, gender or race. Whether you are in the United States, Europe or Africa gambling is popular and has been for years.
The internet has made it easier than ever to gamble online with no need to leave your home! This blog post will explore whether online gambling is good for people and families.
The truths and lies:
- Truths: Gambling can be addictive and lead to compulsive behavior. Children are more likely to start gambling if they see their parents gamble, or in person.
- Lies: Some think it’s easier for children to gamble on the Internet because they cannot physically play a game themselves like at an arcade – this just means addicted gamblers have less accountability for their actions and finances; There have been cases where websites have scammed their customers and the IRS has been slow to act on these cases.
- Truths: Online gambling is a form of entertainment for those who enjoy playing games in this way. Lies: The site may not be regulated enough, plus if you’re located outside the United States, your money could go into a black hole with no return or recourse because it’s against US law;
There have been times where someone has expired from playing too much poker on the internet – this doesn’t happen with casinos offline though thankfully! Another lie about online gambling is that it is safer than betting in a casino. For that you may have to play it yourself and do it again.
Gambling online is not good for people because it can be addictive and lead to compulsive behavior. Children are more likely to start gambling if they see their parents gamble, or in person. If you are scrolling the best gambling website then go for http://22.214.171.124.

Increasingly satellite operators are focusing on utilizing the Ka-Band to expand capacity. Although by definition the Ka-Band covers the frequency band from 26.5 to 40 GHz, Ka-Band for satellite applications generally uses the frequency range around 20 GHz for the downlink and 30 GHz for the uplink. Ever-growing SatCom bandwidth needs, overcrowding of the radio frequency spectrum and the increasing demand of satellite communications have been the main drivers for this development.
Iridium, which has announced the launch of Iridium NEXT via Ka-Band in 2015, and Eutelsat, which already operates on Ka-Band technology, are just two of many operators demanding Ka-Band frequencies. Such satellite communication systems provide broadband network access for mobile ground, maritime and airborne antenna systems. These systems – commonly called SatCom on-the-move – are being introduced on a large scale all over the world for commercial, as well as for governmental (civilian and military) use.
The increase in frequency from Ku- to Ka-Band offers broad coverage of bandwidth in this very rapidly progressing technology. The utilization of higher frequencies requires faster electronic components, which, in the past, have been particularly expensive. However, due to rapid technological progress, competitive components are currently available. With an increase of Ka-Band applications and the associated optimizations of single components that comprise it, the belief is that prices will get closer to the price level of Ku-Band.
A moving satellite terminal requires a highly sophisticated beam steering system in order to continuously track the satellite during operation. There are two basic technologies that can be employed for pointing an antenna beam: The electronically phased-array antenna and the mechanically steered pencil beam antenna.
When the latter system is used, the strong space restrictions imposed by a mobile SatCom terminal require the adoption of a small aperture antenna together with a low-profile pedestal. Likewise, the rotary joints employed for signal transmission along the mechanical steering axes need to be small and are often shaped specifically for the application. At the same time, bi-directional high data rate communications over Ka-Band SatCom require a bandwidth spread of more than 1 GHz on the uplink and downlink for both commercial and military systems.
In order to provide equipment manufacturers with rotary joints tailored to the specific requirements of SatCom systems, SPINNER has developed the new BN 153130 dual-channel rotary joint for Ka-Band applications. Excellent electrical and mechanical performance and a long lifetime define this solution as a reference standard in electrical and mechanical performance.
The product line follows a common design philosophy that is characterized by excellent electrical and mechanical performance, allied to a highly reliable design. In principle, RF rotary joints can be classified into two categories:
- Contacting rotary joints, where the inner and outer conductor of the fixed and rotating part are connected via galvanic contacts.
- Non-contacting rotary joints, where the RF signals are transmitted via axial and radial chokes (capacitive coupling).
Figure 1 Outline drawing of the BN 153130 Ka-Band rotary joint [dimensions in mm (in)].
The BN 153130 dual-band rotary joint is realized as a non-contacting design. The main advantages with this design are that as there is no contact then there is no abrasion, and it has small dimensions (39.1 mm maximum length and 63.5 mm flange diameter), while accommodating high frequencies. Besides good RF performance, the Ka-Band rotary joint is characterized by a lifetime of more than 20 million revolutions. Figure 1 shows BN 153130's design.
Figure 2 L-shaped dual-channel Ka-Band rotary joint.
The ability to produce a rotary joint of such small dimensions is very significant. For many mobile satellite communication systems being developed, there is a requirement to significantly reduce the height of the radomes under which the SatCom system is installed. The reason is the need to improve the drag coefficient, which implies that less installation space is available for the antenna, as well as for the whole pedestal. Thus, there is increasing demand for low profile rotary joints to be used in SatCom radomes. SPINNER has taken up the challenge and developed a Ka-Band rotary joint with reduced height, which means that the overall system can be built lower. This can help save fuel (on an aircraft, for example).
Figure 2 shows the L-shaped dual-channel BN 153130 Ka-Band rotary joint; the main characteristics of this rotary joint are summarized in Table 1. As the table illustrates, to be able to achieve superior system performance, it is necessary to achieve very low insertion loss, VSWR and high isolation values. These superior electrical properties are the result of many years of design experience, careful development, the use of top quality materials and high precision manufacturing.
Significantly, the BN 153130 dual- channel rotary joint also covers the preferential military frequency range for downlink frequencies (19.7 to 21.2 GHz) and uplink frequencies (29.5 to 31 GHz), which military customers are demanding. In addition, a broadband version for civil applications is also available with 17.7 to 21.2 GHz for the downlink and 27.5 to 31 GHz for the uplink. The ability to cover both military and civil requirements is an attractive solution for customers.
The new BN 153130 dual-channel Ka-Band rotary joint completes the SPINNER product portfolio at the upper frequency range. The result of this work is a non-contacting dual-channel Ka-Band rotary joint that guarantees outstanding electrical properties even under severe conditions (-40° to 70°C) over a long service life and offers an excellent price-performance relationship.

With Nadine Shah
Tom chats to UK production duo Mark Rae and Steve Christian, who've recently released their 3rd album Mercury Rising, their first since 2001's Sleepwalking.
The duo originated in Manchester and formed their own label Grand Central records. They shot into the spotlight in 1998 with their debut album Northern Sulphuric Soul, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Whilst this album was heavily sampled based, the follow up Sleepwalking featured more live instrumentation and more varied songwriting partnerships with veteran musicians such as Bobby Womack, Tania Maria and The Congos. The duo pursued separate projects following that album, and have worked on the new album over the last 4 years.
Huw Stephens from Radio 1 shares his personal tip from BBC Introducing, as does one of the Introducing shows from around the UK.
At 11 o'clock Tom launches The After Hour, where he dusts off tracks from the outer reaches of his record collection.

Talks between European governments on a deal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have made progress but have not yet reached agreement.
The roots of disagreements lay in different countries’ manufacturers’ ability to meet average targets.
A German government spokesman said on Friday he could not confirm that Europe’s big four auto making nations had reached an agreement on cutting greenhouse gas emissions, Reuters reported.
“I believe there has been a narrowing of differences but there is not yet a complete agreement,” Thomas Steg told a regular news conference. “I cannot confirm the report that there has been an agreement. The talks are continuing.”
On Thursday, Reuters quoted government sources in Berlin and Brussels saying the four countries had reached an agreement after Italy joined a deal between Britain, France and Germany, government sources in Rome and Berlin said.
The European Commission has proposed cutting carbon dioxide from cars by an average of 18% to 130 grams per km by 2012.
Any binding deal must be approved by the European Parliament, and three-way talks between parliament, member states and the Commission are scheduled for Nov. 24, Reuters said.

Black leaders in Missouri have refused to sign a letter condemning one of their colleagues criticism of Senator Claire McCaskill:
African American leaders in Missouri are frustrated with what they see as Sen. Claire McCaskill’s lackluster engagement with minority voters.
Frustrated enough that they refused to sign a letter pushing back against comments made last month by Bruce Franks, a prominent black activist and state legislator from St. Louis, who called on McCaskill to “show up” and earn the support of minority voters in her state.
“I’m going to vote for Claire, but Claire is going to have to bring her ass to St. Louis,” Franks said to applause at a town hall he hosted Feb. 17.
In response to Franks comments, McCaskill had asked African American elected officials in Kansas City and St. Louis to sign the letter.
Among those who were approached by McCaskill are U.S. Reps. Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City and Lacy Clay of St. Louis, and state Rep. Gail McCann Beatty, the minority leader in the Missouri House.
Each declined to sign.
“I’m 100 percent certain that nobody signed it,” Cleaver said in an interview Wednesday with The Kansas City Star. “We talked about it very seriously and strongly and every one of us said, ‘We’re going to support her, but signing this letter isn’t going to achieve what she wants. It’s just going to make people angry.’ ”
Cleaver said he’s sympathetic to McCaskill’s plight. She’s a Democrat running for re-election in a state Republican President Donald Trump won by nearly 19 points in 2016. He understands she must win over some right-leaning voters to survive.
But as McCaskill works to burnish her reputation as a centrist, Cleaver and other African American leaders said they worry she’ll leave minority voters on the left with the impression that she’s taking them for granted — and it could cost her turnout in the urban centers that are crucial to her base.
I think that they are sick of being characterized as “super-predators” by people who want their votes.
Running against you base to appeal to people who will never vote for you is stupid, and it does not get you any votes, and people who do it do not deserved to be elected.
Nice to see this blow up in Claire’s face.

May 19, 2006
At ITS 2006 in Rotterdam, Robert Allan Ltd. and Sanmar Denizcilik Ltd. signed new contracts for the design and development for the design and development of two new high performance tugs for the international market. The new tug designs are:
- ASD 24/40 Class
- RAmparts 2800 Class
These two new designs will be for the exclusive use of Sanmar for construction in Turkey.
The RAmparts 2800 class design, (Fig. 1), has been developed by Robert Allan Ltd. to fulfill a demand for a very powerful but smaller tug than has previously been common in the market. The 28 metre long hull can accommodate power sufficient to deliver up to 65-70 tonnes BP.
The ASD 24/40 Class tug for Sanmar is an updated version of an existing successful tug design which has been built extensively in South America, and that fills a niche for a powerful, agile and yet cost-effective compact harbour tug.
Robert Allan Ltd., and Sanmar are delighted to announce this new extension to their on-going successful collaboration, which continues a 13 year history of close cooperation between the two companies in furthering the cause of better tugs for the world market. The two new tugs represent a valuable addition to the Sanmar portfolio.

OK, so you’re writing a romance novel. Obviously there are lingering glances and touches and sighs. And of course, there’s Lurve (note the capital L). But what do you do about sex? Do you write a sweet style romance where the bedroom door is firmly closed with the reader on one side and our heroes getting their happy ever after on the other side? Or do you write a saucy and salacious erotic novel with a bit more slap than tickle?
When we first wrote Yesterday’s Shadows, it was with the intention of entering it into the Clendon Awards. We already knew our story was a paranormal romance and that affected both the word count we could have and also to some extent the amount of sex. We didn’t think our story was a 55,000-word ‘category’ type romance so that was out. It was suggested that we might have a single title stand alone novel which doesn’t have a category. Convention with a single title is that they are about 75,000-100,000 words and generally there is some sex in them before the protagonists have their happy ever after.
Funnily enough, Sam and Christa’s first sex scene was the very first scene that Caro wrote. She wrote it eyes closed, blushing furiously and feeling VERY uncomfortable indeed. I blushed reading it! Then it came my turn to write one – I’d done lots of the longing glances and sighs and small fantasies, but writing a whole sex scene is very different. Much like Caro I did it eyes closed, and terribly embarrassed.
With practice, writing sex scenes did get easier, and actually Verity and Noah’s sex scenes (including one memorable garden scene and an even more memorable dream sequence) mostly wrote themselves.
The hero and heroine of our new book get together extremely fast. In fact we’d written the sex scene and outlined the first couple of chapters before we finished Noah and Verity’s story. But actually getting our heroes together properly and having a truly meaningful love scene? That proved extremely difficult and we were a LONG way through their story before it happened (yes, there’s a big spoiler that you’ll have to be a bit more patient this time – but it’s worth it!). Caro couldn’t proof read it after she’d written it and had to send it through to me to look at.
Romance readers seem to be divided about sex – how much is too much? When is the story sacrificed to too many sex scenes? I know some of the Clendon readers were deeply uncomfortable with how much sex we had, but we felt the balance was about right.
What are your thoughts? Sex? No sex?
***Disclaimer – at least some of our embarrassment is knowing that at least one of our parents, siblings and/or in-laws is likely to read anything we write (they’re kind that way). Also, people we ACTUALLY KNOW, IN REAL LIFE, are kind enough to support us by buying our books. And some of them read them as well. We worry sometimes that they might start looking at us a bit funny…

This video was recently screened by the ABC South West, who introduced it as:
Margaret River kitchen garden students cultivate food from paddock to plate | ABC Australia
A unique community garden is helping to teach children at one West Australian school the social, economic and health benefits of cultivating food from the paddock to the plate. The program sees the children plant, grow, pick and cook produce grown at their own school garden at Margaret River Primary in the South West of WA.
It’s a great inside look at the richness of what our kids are learning through their involvement in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program at our school. We commend our Kitchen Garden Team for their flexibiity and dedication.

The aim of this paper is to develop a simulation framework to minimise the cost associated with commercial greenhouse yields (production cost). Greenhouse energy demand and yield production models are coupled with a cost model to investigate the interaction between energy consumption costs and yield production benefits. The coupled model is defined as an optimisation problem to determine the optimal values of decision variables (e.g. cover material, heating and cooling technology, inside temperature and relative humidity set points, plant density, etc.), which result in minimum production cost as the objective function. The results show that the integrated energy demand-crop yield production model outperforms the “classical approach” of a separate energy consumption model where yield is not explicitly modelled but only considered by constraints warranting good growing conditions. In the case of a tomato greenhouse in Iran, the financial cost and environmental impact of producing a 1 kg yield based on integrated energy demand-yield production model were 49% and 29% lower than the energy-consumption model alone. Moreover, the impact of fuel prices on the optimisation results is investigated by use of the proposed framework. Considering real fuel prices instead of current subsidised fuel prices in the Iranian case study, 70% of energy consumption and 19% of climate change impacts could be eliminated while increasing the production cost by 17%. Selling the saved fuel at real prices to other customers would provide the government with more than enough money to compensate the farmers for the increased yield cost.

Hmm, except that the Australian legal system is closer to the British legal system than it is to the Indonesian legal system, so the geography doesn't really work out. Suggestions welcome, though. I don't think there are going to be many packages that are legal system-specific, so my suggestion is just to create a tag for that legal system only as required. -- JEREMY MALCOLM <email@example.com> Personal: http://www.malcolm.id.au Providing online networks of Australian lawyers (http://www.ilaw.com.au) and Linux experts (http://www.linuxconsultants.com.au) for instant help!

Darius Burton knows the situation for the Flying Dutchmen in the CAA Tournament is much different than the one he and his teammates were presented with entering the 1994 East Coast Conference tournament.
These Dutchmen won 20 regular season games, finished fifth in one of the best mid-major conferences in the country and must win four tournament games in Virginia—home state of three of the top four seeds—in as many days in order to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Yet the objective and mindset are the same as 15 years ago, when the Dutchmen were seeded fifth in a piecemeal six-team league that offered no automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament yet won the championship by recording half as many victories in a three-day span in an empty arena in Buffalo as they had in the preceding three months.
“In general you can’t look ahead—you’ve got to look at each opponent one game at a time and do what they did today,” Burton said Friday, a few hours after the Dutchmen beat UNC-Wilmington and on the anniversary of the 1994 team’s title-clinching, double-overtime victory over Northeastern Illinois. “I heard it on the radio—they got off to a good start and they didn’t look back. Put your opponent away when you can, don’t settle. Put them away early, that way you can get your bench in there, get some rest and be ready to play tomorrow.”
While rest is valuable, Burton believes momentum and adrenaline are an even bigger advantage in a short tournament. A relatively easy 86-77 opening round win over Chicago State jumpstarted the Dutchmen, who were further fueled by a dramatic overtime victory over Troy State in the semifinals (Burton hit a lay-up just before the buzzer to give the Dutchmen a 90-89 win).
“Playing three games in three days, you get on a little roll, start believing in each other, you start playing good ball and it spreads,” Burton said. “It was very tiring, but I know for myself, I wasn’t thinking fatigue at all. I think at that stage you’re not even thinking about that. You’re thinking your season could be over with a loss.”
The end came for the Dutchmen with an 88-86 victory over Northeastern Illinois that not only served as a unique and unlikely going-away present for retiring coach Butch van Breda Kolff but also provided a lesson that’s as relevant today as it was in 1994.
“We were 6-20 [in the regular season], we had a horrible record, but we came together for three days and it was great,” Burton said. “We were the second-to-last team in the conference and we beat the [fifth seed], the two and the one to win it all. I think it just showed that if you put it all together for three days, it’s not [necessarily] the best team that wins but the hottest team that pays the best ball at the right time.”

Pete Buttigieg says he'd help empower African-Americans economically as president
CHICAGO — South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg would ease access to capital for African-American entrepreneurs and award more federal contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses if elected president, he told a group of black business leaders Tuesday at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition’s annual convention.
Buttigieg, addressing the convention’s Business Breakfast in the Sheraton Grand Chicago ballroom, proposed tripling the number of entrepreneurs in underserved areas within 10 years, creating 3 million jobs and $660 billion in new wealth in predominantly black communities.
As his run for the White House has gathered steam, Buttigieg has been criticized for the high poverty rate and lack of development in some of South Bend’s neighborhoods, especially among African-Americans.
But at Tuesday’s speech, he listed his administration’s efforts to economically empower blacks, including increased access to technology with free Wi-Fi downtown, in community centers and public housing; expanded quality early childhood care; and commissioning a disparity study aimed at increasing city contracts to minority-owned business.
“We haven’t solved our issues overnight where I come from, but we are taking concrete actions and we see real movement, and I want to bring that same sense of concrete action to the federal government,” Buttigieg said.
His remarks came amid simmering racial tension back home, in the wake of the June 16 fatal shooting of Eric J. Logan by South Bend police Sgt. Ryan O’Neill. The controversy prompted several questions from reporters before Buttigieg’s speech, as he stood next to the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the founder of Rainbow PUSH.
Buttigieg was asked why the city’s police department isn’t as racially diverse as the city. Fifteen of the department’s officers are black, representing 6 percent of the force; 26 percent of South Bend residents are African-American.
“We’re not the only city facing this challenge, but I’ll accept responsibility for the fact that we’ve not reached the point we want to get to,” he said. “But this is a national concern. A lot of it has to do with this veil of mistrust between communities of color and law enforcement that has a lot of young people of color saying, ‘Why would I ever want to be in that line of work?’”
A reporter asked Buttigieg if he’s “advocating inequality to arrive at equality.”
“I guess what I’m advocating is if something has been stolen, it ought to be given back,” he said. “Part of how we do that is recognizing that if resources and policies and intention went into taking something away from Americans, then resources and policies and intentions need to go into restoring that. That is not imposing inequality, it is restoring justice.”
Jackson gave Buttigieg high marks for how he’s dealt with the Logan shooting and its aftermath.
“He’s handled an awkward situation well by being transparent,” Jackson said. “But I think the media, with all due respect, has reduced it to a breaking news snapshot and missed the bigger picture. If you have size 10 feet and wear a size 8 shoe, you’re going to get corns because there are structural abnormalities. It’s a teachable moment for all of us.”
Jackson traced the poverty and violence in South Bend’s predominantly black neighborhoods to systemic racism that took root long before Buttigieg was born.
“Real estate agents sent them to that side of town,” Jackson said of blacks. “Banks targeted people there and did subprime lending, came and ripped them off. Banks redlined.”
In a prior interview with The Tribune, Jackson called for Indiana to reconsider its law prohibiting cities from requiring police officers to live in a municipality. Only 17% of South Bend officers live in the city.
Buttigieg was the last of seven Democratic presidential hopefuls to address the five-day conference in its 53rd year. Former Vice President Joe Biden spoke Friday; Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared Saturday, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and entrepreneur Marianne Williamson spoke Sunday.
After Buttigieg spoke, Jackson’s son, Yusef Jackson, rushed to catch up with him and shake his hand before he boarded an elevator.
“I thought he came here prepared today, I thought he was excellent,” Yusef Jackson said. “I have never heard the story of the African-American opportunity and struggle stated more clearly, with problems and respective solutions, that I have heard today. I think he is setting a bar for candidates in their understanding and articulation of these specific American issues.”
Although she wasn’t ready to commit to a candidate, Aubry Crain said she’s been watching Buttigieg since he launched his campaign earlier this year.
“He’s a very positive guy,” she said. “I think he’s going to make a good representative for our people, for the African-American people, because he has the thought process. Coming to events like this will definitely help him understand what we need as a community and as a people.”
Crain lives on Chicago’s south side and has been coming to South Bend for her job with FedEx for 14 years. She said she doesn’t know who she’ll vote for, but Buttigieg is “definitely at the top of my list.”
“For me it’s not about race, it’s about the issues and how you address the issues, which is just trying to work with us to understand what our issues are,” she said. “He shows he’s a good listener.”
After Buttigieg spoke and left the room, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is black, took the stage and called for more federal support for urban centers.
“Every four years the caravan comes and makes promises,” Lightfoot said, referring to presidential candidates. “They tell us what they will do for us, they seek our votes and then they leave. We cannot afford to have 2020 be another one of those same-old, same-olds. They need our votes. We matter and we must demand that we get our fair share.”
