Becoming a More Resilient Parent
Monday, April 8, 2024 @ 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Resilience is often thought of as the ability to bounce back from a tough time. In this training we’re going to look at resilience as bouncing forward. Parents frequently model resilience for their children. Our actions – no matter how small – can have a big impact on our children and ultimately, on our communities. This training will discuss our responses to stress, the impacts stress can have, and ways we can promote positive childhood experiences and create resilience through connection.
Target Audience: Parents and Caregivers
During April in honor of Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Month…training is FREE!
Registration is required. For more information and/or to register, click HERE.

As of the end of September, the global cumulative installed capacity of floating PV plants was 1.1 GW, according to the World Bank’s Where Sun Meets Water report. That is the milestone ground-mounted PV reached in 2000, the study’s authors note.
“If the evolution of land-based PV is any indication, floating solar could advance at least as rapidly, profiting as it does from all the decreases in costs attained by land-based PV deployment,” states the report.
World Bank specialists have outlined three scenarios for the potential growth of floating solar. Under the first, more conservative situation – in which they assume floating PV will occupy only 1% of the world’s man-made, freshwater reservoirs – a potential installed capacity of 400 GW is predicted. Of this, 101 GW would be in Africa, and North America and Europe would account for 126 GW and 20 GW, respectively. The Middle East and Asia would have a 116 GW share, while South America and Australia and Oceania have the potential to install 36 GW and 5 GW, respectively.
In a second, more favorable scenario – in which the percentage of available surfaces utilized rises to 5% – a potential 2.022 GW is foreseen, with Africa; North America; and the Middle East and Asia still having the lion’s share, with 506 GW, 630 GW, and 578 GW, respectively, and Australia and Oceania accounting for 25 GW.
And that’s based on current technology…
The best scenario posited by the authors of the study envisages a potential 4.044 GW, which could be reached if 10% of the world’s available sites harness floating solar. Under this scenario, Australia and Oceania could add 50 GW.
The potential peak capacity of the scenarios was calculated using the efficiency levels of current PV modules and the surface area needed for their installation, operation and maintenance. With further technological and cost improvements, the potential of each scenario could be even larger.
The costs of floating PV are still slightly higher than for ground-mounted PV with the additional expense mainly related to the need for floats, moorings and more resilient electrical components, the report notes.
“Total capital expenditures for turnkey floating PV installations in 2018 generally range between $0.80 and $1.20 per Wp, depending on the location of the project, the depth of the water body, variations in that depth, and the size of the system,” the World Bank experts write.
Combine floating PV with hydropower
They stress floating PV projects may be particularly useful at hydropower dams.
“The solar capacity can be used to boost the energy yield of such assets, and may also help to manage periods of low water availability by allowing the hydropower plant to operate in ‘peaking’ rather than ‘baseload’ mode,” the report adds.
The study also notes the potential of near-shore solar technology, while stressing the need to address issues such as more demanding water surface conditions; the need for more critical mooring and anchoring amid large tidal movements and currents; and a requirement for more durable components, due to salinity.
“The priority over the next few years should be to carry out strategic deployments of floating solar at sites where it is already economic,” the report states.
Several emerging solar markets are opening up to floating solar, including Vietnam, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, among others.
Meanwhile, Australia’s floating solar PV market is still in its nascent stage.
The nation’s largest floating solar farm to date – a 100 kW floating PV array – installed atop an overflow pond at the East Lismore Sewage Treatment Plant was launched earlier this year. The Lismore plant is also Australia’s first community-funded council-owned solar PV farm.

PARIS — Jean Paul Gaultier has always been a master of gender bending, creating kilts and makeup for men and pinstriped suits for Madonna. His new fragrance, due out this fall, is no exception.
The scent, Jean Paul Gaultier to the Power of Two, is not specifically for women or men.
“I wanted to go back to my first idea of a perfume for humans — not a gender,” said Gaultier, referring to his original fragrance idea 15 years ago that (to his chagrin) never came to fruition. “The perfume is about the idea of sharing. It is not unisex. It is a fragrance for couples, a togetherness perfume.”
Perhaps the most tangible evidence of this is the scent’s packaging. Its rectangular flacon is studded with tiny magnets enabling it to “connect” to its other half, should the user desire.
The outer boxes’ faces have fragments of the fragrance’s name, which is spelled out in full when the containers are put side by side.
Gaultier uses the word “attraction” to describe the force uniting the two parts of his scent.
Its name is meant to convey the strength derived from togetherness.
“The name says everything,” said Eric Henry, chief operating officer of Beauté Prestige International, Gaultier’s beauty license holder.
“It came rather rapidly,” continued Sylvie Polette, vice president of Parfums Jean Paul Gaultier, who explained that the ideas of duality, meeting and one-plus-one were discussed.
“The name touched upon the math formula and alchemy. For Jean Paul, perfume is about alchemy,” she said.
For the new fragrance’s juice, Gaultier wanted a scent that doesn’t evolve.
“I get frustrated sometimes when I buy perfume that doesn’t smell the same when I wear it as it did in the store,” he explained. “I wanted one smell.”
So Francis Kurkdjian of Quest International concocted a scent incorporating leading notes of ambergris, musk and vanilla.
“From the outset, you smell all three,” said Polette.
BPI executives believe the market is ready for another Gaultier fragrance.

Modification of a divorce decree
Divorce judgments get modifications most regularly.Everytime a previous spouse desires to see the decree changed; they approach the court to file a complaint that is formal for modification.The lawyers may help decide whether the specific facts about the case approve a modification or not.Negotiations can be made for modification if there is an agreement between the ex-spouses for changes.If there is no agreement on changes between the ex-spouses,a ruling is made by a family court judge.
The following are some of the most common post-divorce subjects for modifications that require a court judgment:
- Child support
Immediately an agreement or a child support order is put in place,the amount you pay can be decreased or increased depending on certain circumstances.After divorce,one party may be experiencing difficulties in getting enough income or on the other had he/she may be earning higher,this can be a fact to pursue modification for child support.
- Change of custody for a child because of change in circumstances of a parent
Terms of custody are binding,but their setting is not in stone;there is a possibility of changing them.Any time from the last order,you can seek modification.However,before seeking for this modification,ensure you have change of circumstances that is of substance that has happened since the original orders entry.
A court cannot approve a modification even if it is in order without substantial change.It doesn’t make sense if both parties or one party or the children are permitted to be subject to the judicial system to a first trial repetition when there is no significance evidence of new developments.
Practically,if this motion is filed within a period of 6 months after divorce,it is the best.
Alimony also called spousal maintenance is an obligation to a person to legally provide their spouse with financial support after divorce or separation.After divorce,you may seek for a change in the amount you are receiving or paying due to alimony.These are some of the reasons why ex-spouse may pursue alimony modification after divorce:
- Change in something:These can be material change in your financial circumstance or your ex-spouses,death of the person you were paying alimony to or when the person receiving the alimony marries again.
- If the alimony was awarded before change of law and you are required to pay it for a long period than you would under new law.
- Change in arrangements for visitation as a result of change in circumstances
If one parent significantly changes location of residence after divorce,it brings up a whole set of issues to do with modification.He/she may not be able to visit the children regularly or as before.
Enforcing Divorce Decrees
Complaint for contempt cases are filed by a party that is seeking for enforcement of divorce agreement provisions via a court of law.Some of the provisions that require enforcement if they are not acted upon by a party after divorce include terms of child support,placement,custody and maintenance.These provisions may be satisfactory according to the order but one party of may not have lived up to them.In this case,the motion is filed with a court of law to force the party who is violating the decree or term to comply through a contempt finding.
If the problem is failure to pay child support or alimony which is meant to support a spouse,the court can order payments to be made in a certain way or garnish the wages.If the problem is failure by a party to comply with an order of placement,the court is able to step in and enforce the schedule of placement.This comes with a possibility of been given an extra time to compensate for previous violations.
The court has power and freedom to make decisions on what ought to be done in enforcing compliance with a decree of divorce.However,depending on the kind of situation, innovative options can be available. Penalties which include financial sanctions, lawyer’s fee awards or even jail can result if one party does not comply.

Yesterday a major act of voter fraud went unnoticed, not the one where I went and voted for Hillary either. One of the sites that I frequent The Trading Fraternity had it’s own important election. If you really support something or have nothing better to do at work why stop at voting just once?
Sure this poll may have been meaningless on a site however cool is not really in the top 200 million sites on the web. (total monthly average of global viewers who visit the site 0.000025% )
It did take four servers running an automated script that stuffed the ballot electronically overnight to get that number to 100% (the joys of rounding) but it was totally worth it.
The poll on Trading Fraternity (since removed for alleged voter fraud.)

Officials Tracking Outbreak of Rare Salmonella Strain in Seven EU States
Turkey suspected as source of bacteria
European Union health officials are investigating an ongoing outbreak of Salmonella Stanley that has sickened over 400 people in seven member countries. While S. Stanley infections are rare outside of Southeast Asia and usually appear only among those who have traveled there, this outbreak is thought to have originated in poultry - probably turkey - produced in Europe.
The first cases associated with this outbreak occurred in Hungary in August of 2011, but the outbreak was not detected until June 2012, when health officials were alerted to the fact that an unusually high number of S. Stanley infections had been reported in Belgium. Since that time, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Slovak Republic and the United Kingdom have all reported cases of S. Stanley with a DNA fingerprint indistinguishable from the strain being tracked in Belgium.
In most affected countries, the outbreak is thought to have begun in January of 2012, when a spike in S. Stanley infections was noted. The most recent case was reported on September 18.
To date, 167 cases have been confirmed as part of the outbreak and a further 254 cases are considered probable. The highest rate of illnesses has been in children under the age of five.
According to the outbreak report - issued by the EFSA and CDC - cases of the same strain of S. Stanley are still being reported and the outbreak is considered ongoing.
While officials do not know the exact source of the bacteria, they suspect that it came from somewhere in the European turkey production chain. The outbreak strain has been found among turkey flocks and in turkey meat in eight EU member countries, including six where outbreak-related illnesses have occurred. However, some isolates of S. Stanley with a DNA fingerprint indistinguishable from the outbreak strain have also been found in samples from beef, chicken flocks, minced pork and beef, and even dogs, cats, peppermint and seagull, leading investigators to conclude that "contribution of other food and animal sources, such as beef, pork and broiler meat to the outbreak cannot be ruled out."
Travel to Southeast Asia, however, has been ruled out as a source of the bacteria, since no victims have reported visiting that region prior to illness.
All isolates of the bacteria found in the EU the turkey production chain have been shown to be resistant to nalidixic acid, an antibiotic used to treat severe Salmonella infections

Yesterday, yet another school shooting. This time, an elementary school in Connecticut where 20 children and 6 adults were shot dead by an AK 47 no less. The gun apparently belonged to his mother, whom he also shot and killed. He turned the gun on himself .
A first grade teacher, 27 year old Victoria Soto must also be remembered for her last act of child care.
“This is Victoria Soto, and although I didn’t know her, she is my hero. I don’t know too much about her, but I know a lot of people who do know her and she’s ama…zing. Victoria was a Stratford high graduate and only 27. She was killed today after she hid her first graders in closets and cabinets and told the shooter they were in the gym. He killed her and not one of her children were harmed. I have never been more proud to be from Stratford or to be a teacher. God bless Victoria, her family and friends, and all of those who were involved today in anyway. Victoria is a true hero.”
How could this have happened? Or should we be surprised with the gun nut religion known as the NRA and other such gun lobbyists. It’s no secret that the US has had the most school shootings.
President Obama gives a luke warm speech where he even got teary eyed at times. He called for ‘meaningful action’, but of course, he stopped short of what that ‘meaningful action’ would be. Nothing new here, he will never try anything bold. Not even now, that he is a lame duck president. He won his second term and can’t run again in 2016. This would’ve been a time to do some big things, like perhaps a tweaking of the 2nd amendment. The lack of gun control is appalling. And they call themselves civilized.
The gun nutz are out scrambling, working feverishly on their propoganda machine. Yes, they are proving to me more concerned over keeping their precious weapons than they are about the latest victims and their families from Sandy Hook Elementary school as well as other victims of gun violence. The simple fact is that if the gun man didn’t have access to guns, those victims at Sandy Hook would still be alive. The White House is basically saying that “today is not the day to discuss gun control”. Whell, when the hell is it?
Prevention is Key
I know I’m bringing an obvious example here, but around the same time the Sandy Hook shooting took place, Another madman in China went on a stabbing spree at a school where 22 children and 1 adult were injured. Tragic, yes. However, if that madman had a gun instead of a knife, I’m sure we’d be looking at far more casualties.
Hell, even David Frum, a Republican and Con cheerleader much of the time is calling for stronger gun control.
A permissive gun regime is not the only reason that the United States suffers so many atrocities like the one in Connecticut. An inadequate mental health system is surely at least as important a part of the answer, as are half a dozen other factors arising from some of the deepest wellsprings of American culture.
Of course more needs to be done to address violence of all kinds, but stricter gun control would be a great start toward prevention. Prevention, something our beloved Harpercons and their cheerleaders don’t understand. Scary when you think about it. Something these wingnuts fail to understand, tougher sentences will not bring back those victims. It will not undo the injuries — physical and emotional — many of these victims suffer. Prevention means preventing these kinds of tragedies.
Let the numbers speak for themselves:
It is obvious that more lax gun control laws add up to more violence.
More also needs to be done about addressing mental illness. Some action is needed. The trouble is that more are in denial over the existance of mental illness and therefore ignore its’ prevalence. In many of these mass shooting events, one thing was obvious about these perpetrators — they’re not exactly the poster children for good mental health.
Meanwhile in Canada, The Race to the Bottom Continues…
Yep, you guessed it, here in Canada, ol’ Vicky Toews is contemplating making the gun lobby crazies happy.
As Star writer Tonda MacCharles reported on Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is mulling a sweeping set of proposals from the pro-gun camp that would further water down federal controls. In future, gun owners’ licences would run for 10 years or longer without renewal, up from five now. Paperwork now required to transport weapons would be waived. And certain prohibited firearms — ranging from small, easily concealed handguns to full-bore assault weapons—would be reclassified as restricted, making them easier to sell or transfer.
The changes have been urged by the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee, a panel recruited by Toews’ office. It is led by two firearms experts and dealers, and is thick with gun advocates.
This really shouldn’t come as a surprise of course. Those Harpercons would love nothing more than to placate their gun nut lobbyists who appear to have bottomless pockets.
A Punishment from Gawd
Most of those socons like ol’ Vicky are probably thinking that we should start praying more as a solution to the problem of gun violence. Don’t laugh, there is at least one nut in the US of A who actually believes that Gawd is punishing those victims at Sandy Hooks Elementary. Read and weep, boys ‘n’ girls:
On his radio program on American Family Radio, Brian Fischer blamed the lack of prayer in public schools for the tragic shooting of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Connecticut (another person was killed at a separate crime scene).
“You know the question’s gonna come up, where was God?” he said. “I thought God cared about the little children, God protected the little children. Where was God when all this went down? And here’s the bottom line: God is not gonna go where he’s not wanted. Now we have spent, since 1962, this, we’re 50 years into this now, we have spent 50 years telling God to get lost. Telling God, we do not want you in our schools, we don’t want to pray to you in our schools, we don’t want to pray to you before football games, we don’t want to pray to you at graduation, we don’t want anyone talking about you in a graduation speech.”
“We’ve kicked God out of our public school system,” he went on. “And I think God would say to us, ‘Hey I’ll be glad to protect your children, but you’ve gotta invite me back into your world first. I’m not gonna go where I’m not wanted. I am a gentleman.’”
Meanwhile, there are those who believe that more should be able to get guns. Hell, the GOP in Michigan is now pushing for it to be permissible for folks to pack guns in school.
Hours after the terrible shooting in a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school, the Michigan House Republicans issued demanded that Governor Rick Snyder (R) sign a bill that would make it easier for people to receive a gun permit and open up “gun free zones,” including schools. A statement attributed to Press Secretary Ari B. Adler shrugged off any link between guns in schools and school shootings:
Turning schools into the OK corral will really work out well. Hell, why stop there? As David Frum tweeted:
Shooting at CT elementary school. Obviously, we need to lower the age limit for concealed carry so toddlers can defend themselves
Yeah, real intelligent. Why not add target shooting to school curriculums?
Knowing ol’ Gov Ricky Snyder, he probably will sign that one as fast as he did that anti-labour law.

Used to protect food from exterior damage, slow down deterioration, and extends shelf life, Food Packaging Films are multilayer structures made up of three to 12 layers of polymers. Known for its mechanical and physical properties, the film generally acts as a protective barrier against surrounding oxygen and moisture. Not only can it be used in the Food & Business industry, but packaging films are also highly applicable and relevant in the Pharmaceutical Industry. Highly customisable, Food Packaging Films can be made up of different layers. The combination of these different layers not only increases the shelf life but also provides additional properties such as high stiffness, a high level of transparency, and allowing heat sealing applications.
Common factors to consider when choosing the packaging film for food products include:
- Strong moisture barrier
- Strong oxygen barrier
- Quality of print
Often, the compositions of food packaging films include PET, ALU, Nylon, and VM, each with its unique characteristics. At Streampeak, the type of food packaging films can be customised according to different requirements. To prolong the shelf life of food products, Stream Peak’s O Sorb (Oxygen Absorber) is packed into individual food packaging.
Some of our popular food packagings include:
- Microwavable pouches with a special flap for steam to be released
- No need for tearing a small slit at the side of the packaging, users can heat food by placing the entire sealed food package into the microwave
- Retort pouches
- Transparent Pouches allow visibility of the contents inside the bag

In the Lukhovitskii region in the
The incident took place on 25th December 2008. Resident of the Lukhovitskii region Natalia Orlova noticed that the flat battery, similar to a coin, had disappeared from her television remote. Meanwhile her son Vania had begun to cry, was refusing to eat, and then started to suffocate completely.
Natalia called an ambulance. Medics decided that the child had tonsillitis. They recommended the illness be treated with tablets, and left.
But the boy’s condition worsened towards evening. Natalia rushed to the Lukhovitskii central hospital with little Vania in her arms, and asked doctors to examine the boy. The woman was met by a surgeon, Aleksandr Ivanov, and the chief of hospital admittance, Elena Motyrova.
Elena Motyrova assured Natalia that the boy had typical signs of tonsillitis, dismissing the possibility that he had swallowed a battery as ‘nonsense’.
Doctors placed Vania in the infectious diseases ward. They did not begin to examine the child: the medics were celebrating the approaching New Year, and doctors were hurrying to return to the table. Vania was only given an X-ray on 26th December – when not his windpipe but his stomach was scanned.
It was only when the little boy began to suffocate before the doctors’ eyes that they sent him for an X-ray of the chest area: they suspected pneumonia.
On 31st December, X-ray technician Shestakova took an image and detected a strange round object. But because she did not know the reasons for which the boy had come to the hospital, but was looking for pneumonia, she took the battery in his windpipe for… a medallion on the boy’s neck. A radiologist, Iurii Andreev, saw the X-ray only on 2nd January. Observing the foreign object, but not detecting pneumonia, he did not raise an alarm – and only recalled the X-ray when the child began to die. By this time, the battery had begun to leak acid. Electrolytes had seeped out of it and burnt the boy’s esophagus, windpipe and vocal cords.
The simple operation to remove the foreign body from Vania’s windpipe was carried out on 5th January in the ENT department of Moscow Region Scientific Research and Clinical Institute (MONIKI). But the child’s health had already been seriously undermined.
“My little boy went through clinical death and has been under anesthetic 60 times“, Natalia Orlova says. “Now he has a tube in his windpipe, in his stomach, in his esophagus… A long course of treatment lies ahead of him, as well as several operations to restore his esophagus and vocal cords.”
Natalia Orlova has already spent around 800,000 rubles on treatment for her son. The boy, though, remains unable to speak, and weighs just
In the last few days, the Lukhovitskii public prosecutor’s office confirmed the charges faced by the medics. The head of admittance, doctor and surgeon Elena Motyrova, and the head of Radiology and Instrumental Diagnostics, Iurii Andreev, will be charged with “negligence resulting in serious damage to health”. They are threatened with 5 years in prison.
Children’s surgeon Aleksandr Ivanov, meanwhile, could receive 4 years on the charge of “causing serious damage to health due to lack of care and failure to carry out professional duties”.

Aqilla Training, Consultancy and Support
Like most web based applications and online solutions, Aqilla is easy to use and can be rapidly deployed without the need for significant investment.
However, to get the most from Aqilla, time and consideration needs to be given to the use of the varied analysis structures and reporting formats available. Help with configuring the documents which drive the entire accounting and reporting process can also be beneficial and can help capture and log the information and detail required in each transaction whilst simultaneously presenting a professional look.
These activities need dedicated time to ensure they are right from day one. Equally the deployment of the system – notably training users and loading historical data – is a crucial part of any implementation. Whilst this can be absorbed into daily workloads, the success of the project and the speed of deployment can be increased by working with an Aqilla consultant. External consultants can configure Aqilla and provide valuable insight into how others have derived the maximum value from their use of the system.
Recenseo works closely with the authors of Aqilla to understand the system and help deliver new projects. If you have already chosen Aqilla and would like assistance in delivering it, please contact Recenseo to see how we can help.

If you’ve been following along with my weekend recap of Lake Chelan wineries, it’s time to wrap things up (if you missed any of it, read more here). The last stop of the weekend was Rio Vista Winery. As the name implies (river view), the winery is located on the Columbia River just outside of Chelan, WA. It was such an inviting place on a warm day that we decided to spend most of the afternoon hanging out there (might as well delay getting back to reality for a few more hours, right?).
The winery is family owned and operated, as with a lot of the wineries in the Lake Chelan area. Owners John and Jan Little, who were long-time teachers and apple orchard famers, decided to purchase the property (an old horse ranch) in the mid-90s as a place to live after retirement. John, who is also the winemaker, had been experimenting with home winemaking and when the couple retired, they decided they’d try their hand at opening a winery on their property.
Let me first say that the winery grounds are gorgeous! It’s also the only winery in Washington that is accessible by car, boat and float plane! If you’re interested in making a grand entrance, Chelan Seaplanes can set up a ‘fly and wine taste’ experience for $69 per person. I was tempted…
Most of the wines they produce are made in the more fruit-forward, off-dry style… which might be nice on a summery day when you want something different than a crisp, dry Sauv Blanc, for example. You’ll likely be greeted by Jan Little in the tasting room, which is decorated with their daughter’s artwork (she does the art for their wine labels, too) and a nice rock fireplace. The tasting includes 4 tastes of wine and is complimentary.
I first started with the 2012 Viognier ($20) which was slightly sweet and effervescent. It was definitely fruity, with flavors of white peach and ripe pear. Next up, was the 2012 Sunset on the River Estate White Blend ($20) which was a very summery, fruity wine. Made from a blend of Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, it had tons of flavor (white peaches, apricots, mangoes) and a nice hit of acid. It’s also a very pretty light peach color… kind of like the color of a sunset reflecting on a river, perhaps? Haha.
Next, I tasted the 2012 Wild Rose Estate Rosé ($19). Made from 60% Merlot and 40% Syrah, the skins were left on for 24 hours during the winemaking process, which gives it a deep pink color. It’s off-dry, with aromas and flavors of spice, watermelon, strawberries and cream. Not my preferred style of Rosé, but not bad if you’re into a more sweeter style.
I next tried the 2010 Loony Red ($28), a blend of mostly Merlot, Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, and Syrah. There’s a lot of plum, mocha and raspberry flavors, with nice tannins on the finish. It was a decent blend. Lastly, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon ($32). It had prominent aromas of chocolate and blackberry, with boysenberry, toasted nuts and oak flavors. Definitely a fruit-forward Cab.
If you just come for the wine tasting, you should definitely make time to stay for the view and scenery. It’s picture perfect and completely serene… just add sunshine and wine and you’ve got yourself a good day!
Open: Fall hours – Fri-Sun 12pm-5pm
Tasting Fee: Free
Location: 24415 SR 97 – Chelan, WA (about 10 minutes out of town)
Tips: Buy a bottle, bring your own picnic, and grab a spot to take in the scenery and spend an hour or two. There’s also a friendly wine dog that loves attention. :)

Run Durham Hamsterley 10k 2019 – Race Report
Thank you to all the runners who attended the Run Durham Hamsterley 10k 2019 on the 27th April, thank you to all the marshals and staff who help to make the event run as smoothly as possible, and a thank you to all the spectators who came to support the runners on a cold and wet day in the forest.
As all 250-runner set off for the 10k race with the first 0.5km flat before a 13% increase in elevation, climbing 44 meters over 300 meters. To finish off the first kilometre an 11% incline (23 meters increase in elevation) before the ground levels out for the next kilometre. A steady incline continued for the next 2km before levelling out at the 5km mark. At the 5.5km point in the run, the downhill section of the race started with a 34 meter (8% decline) drop over 500 meters. The point 6km to the 6.25km saw the highest decline of the run with a whopping 12% decrease in elevation and 25 meters lost over the 250 meters. The terrain levelled out slightly over the next 0.75km with a 27 meter drop in elevation. Between the 7km and 8km mark a small elevation change of 12 meters. Onto the final 2km the runners finished fast with help from the 47 meters decline in elevation down to the finish line.
Of the 250 runners Andy Chadfield (Billingham Marsh Hse H & AC) finished first with a gun time of 37:33. 15 seconds after the Andy finished Mark Wade (Aycliffe Running Club) with a time of 37:48, closely followed by Mark Kearney (Elvet Striders) with a time of 37:57.
The fastest female runner Sarah Norman finished with a gun time of 43:37. Kim Simpson (Gateshead Harriers & AC) finished as the second fastest female with a time of 43:59. Kim beat her clubmate Beth Curran (Gateshead Harriers & AC) who finished with a time of 45:24.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I will not write any spoilers as I feel that would ruin it for those who my like this recommendation
I had put off reading this book as I had not read any Stephen King before and I was really sure what to expect. I was going to read it on holiday but I am glad I didn’t wait. This had me gripped from start to finish with many twists and turns. I thought it would be totally based on the Kennedy assassination but I loved the build up and the historic facts from 1950’s and 1960’s America to paint that full picture. I also liked the love story that popped up unexpected part way through but it was the ending that did it for me. Again no spoilers but the ending showed what could happen if you were able to go back in time and change the course of history, would you change history if you could?
Jake discovers via a friend that he is able to travel back to late 1950’s America. His friend wants to stop the assassination but can’t, its up to Jake instead. Jake travels across America and we get a valuable insight to a bygone age the details are so vivid you can almost see them in your minds eye. Jake settles into his new life and his world changes, not for the last time. Jake thinks that stoping Kennedy being assassinated would be a good thing, maybe it is but there is always a flip side. For every action there is an opposite action.
I was left with a lump in my throat after reading the final pages. I hear they are making this into a film, I hope they do but I hope they keep it to the book, I would like to see if my imagination matches the film version.


This article originally appeared in Advanced Materials & Processes – June 2004
Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is a phenomenon in which a plastic resin is cracked by a chemical agent while under stress, and it is the leading cause of plastic component failure. It is a solvent-induced failure mode, in which the synergistic effects of the chemical agent and mechanical stresses result in cracking. A recent study showed that 25% of plastic part failures are related to ESC.
ESC is a phenomenon in which a particular plastic resin is cracked through contact with a specific chemical agent while under stress. The synergistic effects of the chemical agent and mechanical stresses result in cracking. The chemical agent does not cause direct chemical attack or molecular degradation. Instead, the chemical penetrates into the molecular structure and interferes with the intermolecular forces binding the polymer chains, leading to accelerated molecular disentanglement.
The mechanism steps involved in ESC failure are similar to those responsible for creep failure, and include fluid absorption, plasticization, craze initiation, crack growth, and finally fracture. Because the ESC process depends on the diffusion of the chemical into the polymer structure, the rate of fluid absorption is a critical parameter in the rate of both craze initiation and crack extension. The more rapidly that the chemical agent is absorbed, the faster the polymer will be subjected to crazing and subsequent failure. Recent comparisons have illustrated creep as a special condition of ESC. Under this model, creep is simply ESC with air as the chemical agent, the principal difference being that the presence of an active chemical agent accelerates the disentanglement process. This acceleration results in a significant reduction in the time to crack initiation, and substantially increases the speed of the extending crack, thus shortening the time to failure. Alternatively, ESC cracking develops at reduced stress or strain levels relative to creep failure in air.

What a challenging year 2020 has been! A year of living dangerously – “Tahun vivere pericoloso”- perhaps these words of late President Soekarno of Indonesia are the best description.
Fortunately, I managed to remain sane, reading and writing op-eds (mostly about the pandemic, here
While 2020 will be remembered most for the way COVID-19 changed our lives in nearly every way and in every part of the world, we made some strides for women’s rights and gender equality.
Cuisine formed a notable portion of the latest inscriptions on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, with hawker food in Singapore and couscous traditions in North Africa being celebrated.
Despite its grim record of multiple natural disasters and a deepening climate crisis, one could be forgiven for looking back on 2019 with a degree of nostalgia. There is no disguising the extent of the calamity wrought this year by COVID-19, yet as we approach the end of 2020 we may also draw strength from positive developments emerging.
Cristián Samper is working for the Wildlife Conservation Society, an organization that concerns itself with the health of wildlife all over the globe. And he warned --even before the Covid-19 pandemic – about the dangers of a viral pandemic.
The picturesque Mahuat River in Dominica is one of 8 communities that make up the Kalinago Territory – a 3,700-acre area on the Caribbean island’s east coast that is home to the Kalinago people, the largest indigenous group in the Eastern Caribbean. It is where 19-year-old Whitney Melinard calls home. Melinard is among a rising group of Dominica’s Kalinago youth, using their voices and platforms to speak out on issues affecting their people.
The year 2020 is ending with the world caught up in an unprecedented human and economic crisis. The pandemic has contaminated 75 million people and killed 1.7 million. With the lockdowns, the global economy has suffered the worst recession in 75 years, causing the loss of income for millions of people. In such a bleak environment, what will the new year bring? Whilst uncertainty is the only certainty, eight points are likely to be key in the year ahead:
During the COVID 19 lockdown in Sri Lanka, seven women from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds came together to deliver Wisdom and their message that women must be empowered and their voices for national unity must be heard through this movement.
The United Nations, which is commemorating its 75th anniversary, continues to remain bogged down in one of the world’s most politically and militarily volatile regions: the Middle East.
An alarmingly high number of women journalists are now targets of online attacks associated with orchestrated digital disinformation campaigns. The impacts include self-censorship, retreat from visibility, an increased risk of physical injury, and a serious mental health toll. The main perpetrators? Anonymous trolls and political actors.
While Afghanistan ends a historic year, filled with the hope for peace as the government and Taliban sat down for almost three months of consecutive peace talks for the first time in 19 years, it was also a year filled with violence with provisional statistics by the United Nations showing casualties for this year being higher than 2019.
Africa, compared to Asia, Europe and the US, has largely escaped the devastating death toll of COVID-19, accounting for a fraction of the world’s 63 million cases
When it comes to international environmental diplomacy, America has a chequered past. It stood at the forefront of the international battle to fix the ozone hole and has shaped many key international agreements.
Sadly, US positions are not always built on solid political ground at home. Twice, in the climate change process, this has led to the United States forging an agreement, only to then walk away. This happened with the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which then Vice-President Gore flew to Japan to sign in the full knowledge that a Republican dominated Senate would never ratify the deal. It happened again five years ago, with former President Obama closing that landmark deal (and John Kerry signing at the UN), only for President Trump to tear it up a few weeks later.
Rights are earned through hard-fought struggles. And for Indigenous Peoples (IP), its fulfillment comes from the collective and continuous defense of ancestral land and territory, and assertion of their ways of life and the right to self-determination.
Energy efficiency (EE) is often marketed as a tool to save energy and money. The oft-repeated mantra is doing “more with less”, namely producing more goods with less energy. But, as set out in a recent World Bank report
(which I co-authored), EE can do something that is often much more important for developing countries: it can produce the additional goods and services needed to raise standards of living.
Long before the Covid-19 pandemic grounded much of the world, lockdown, confinement, violence, and isolation was the daily reality for hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities
around the world. Many are locked in sheds, cages, or tethered to trees and are forced to eat, sleep, urinate, and defecate in the same tiny area, sometimes for years. Why? Simply because they have a mental health condition—a psychosocial disability.
Siddharth Chatterjee, who has served with the United Nations for over 20 years, has been appointed as the new Resident Coordinator in China, the world’s second largest economy after the United States.
Education and health care were high on the agenda when the United Nations vowed to work toward a better future by setting 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be met by 2030.
Few images better illustrate the recent decline in civil liberties in the United States than that of peaceful protesters near the White House being violently dispersed
so Donald Trump could stage a photo-op.
Just before the World Health Assembly (WHA), an 18 May open letter
by world leaders and experts urged governments to ensure that all COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and tests are patent-free, fairly distributed and available to all, free of charge.
The United Nations Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign
marked the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence (25 November to 10 December 2020) at a time when COVID-19 exacerbated the conditions women operate under.


In my previous two posts I showed off the new style of images I’ll be using for Instagram (come follow me!) and there are a few more I thought I’d share here… ones I won’t necessarily be blogging about, but thought are pretty all the same.
The style doesn’t translate perfectly to the blog… but what do you think? Do you think you’d click a post with these graphics – or do you like the regular, unedited style better?
Do you think that this style of graphic works well in the blog?

I have a cooking confession to make.
But before I get to that, let me tell you a teeny weeny secret.
I”m CD and…
I have an entire cabinet in my kitchen filled with slow cookers.
Yes, you read that right.
An ENTIRE cabinet.
There are silver ones, and black ones, and a SUPER cute one with pretty flowers.
There are even two mini ones and one really BIG one that they say I can cook an entire turkey in!
But I rarely used any of them.
Not even the one with pretty flowers.
Please don’t judge me.
Because up until a few weeks ago, I just wasn’t a slow cooker kind of gal.
I was more of an oven gal.
It was so much easier to be an oven gal.
An oven doesn’t require any special equipment.
And all you have to do is turn it on and let it do all the work.
But what if you’re in the middle of cooking dinner and BAM!
Your oven decides to stop working!
Well, then you do what I did.
You grab a step stool and you climb on up and find the prettiest darn slow cooker you’ve got in your cabinet and you fill it with whatever you were going to bake in your oven and you hope like heck that it turns out.
Because your family is depending on it.
And when it does, you smile and then you think to yourself since this meal turned out so good, maybe, just maybe you could put those slow cookers to good work.
Before you know it, your not an oven kind of girl anymore.
Now about that confession.
I cook my fried chicken in a slow cooker.
Yep, a slow cooker.
So how do I get that crispy-crunchy outer layer, you ask?
Well, not from the slow cooker of course!
No, my friends, I get it by pan searing my chicken first.
I know. I know. I’m not a huge fan of frying either. All that grease-YUCK!
But that’s the great thing about pan-searing. You will use WAY less oil, so instead of submerging your chicken in grease, you’re flipping your chicken pieces so all sides get nice and crispy without soaking up all the oil.
Then you just put your chicken in the slow cooker to cook the rest of the way. **One final tip: To keep chicken crispy, place a paper towel over the top of the slow cooker before placing the lid back on. This will absorb any extra moisture.***
Here’s my recipe for ‘Slow Cooker’ Fried Chicken!
Slow Cooker Fried Chicken
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 3 lbs chicken cut into 8 pieces
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Place chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour buttermilk over chicken. Place in refrigerator overnight. Rinse chicken pieces and dry thoroughly with paper towel.
Place flour, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika in a shallow dish. Mix well. Place Panko crumbs in another shallow dish. Beat egg and half and half in another shallow dish.
Place chicken pieces first into flour mixture, then egg mixture, and then press gently into Panko crumbs making sure to coat chicken entirely. Do this for each piece of chicken.
Place chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.*** This will ensure coating sticks.
Pour vegetable oil in frying pan. Turn heat to medium-high. Let heat up for 5-7 minutes. Place 2-3 chicken pieces in oil. **Do not overfill as the chicken will not crisp up. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Place chicken in a slow cooker. Place a piece of paper towel over the top of the slow cooker before lid. **This will soak up any extra moisture. Cook on High for 2-3 hours or until tender.

Here is my second DEMAG trench knife.
Same as the other one, except in a little better condition and with the other DEMAG- Duisburg stamping, divided by dots (not stars) and DRGM on the other side of the blade. It has the Imperial approval stamp on the blade near the guard.
Bought it in the US! Maybe one of your guys use to own it ;-)
Hope you like it as much as I do !

Crispy fried shallots are an essential condiment in Vietnam. They turn up in soups and on salads, sprinkled onto dumplings as a garnish, and minced and added to meatballs. Crispy, sweet, and salty, they are indispensible. You may want to make double batches, as people have a hard time resisting the urge to snack on them. Strain the oil you used to fry the shallots and use it in other recipes or to fry more shallots. The strained oil, called shallot oil, will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks. The shallots should be used the same day they are fried.
Leave a Review
Really delicious -- however, when i dropped the shallots in for the second time fry, the oil bubbled over into my stove top. It was a mess -- but tasty in the end. Also, it took way longer than just 1-2 seconds to get them to the crispy deep brown color. I just pulled them out with a bamboo spider strainer. Easier than the directions listed.
I loved these with my prime rib! I found that the first fry leaves the shallots limp, so please don't worry. The second fry really crisps them up to the delicious level you are expecting. I will make it again to accentuate a delicious meal.

Manufacturers of ICs, RAM and ROM modules, microprocessors and other semiconductor devices use ovens to test or burn-in their devices at elevated temperatures to identify early product failures and ensure long-term reliability. During the burn-in process chips or electronic assemblies are powered up in a test fixture and run through a test sequence of varying voltages and temperatures to eliminate weak devices. Chip manufacturers test statistical samples or all devices to identify individual devices that are prone to failure.
Despatch works with customers to provide custom controls, loading and unloading, cooling systems and more. A key feature of all burn-in ovens is the large opening in the rear wall for the burn-in test hardware. A test fixture is installed through this port so there is a stack of receptacles on the back wall of the chamber. Corresponding racks are installed in the chamber. For testing, multiple burn-in boards, each with multiple devices are positioned in the racks and inserted into the test receptacles. Despatch offers standard model Burn-in Chambers which are engineered specifically for applications such as high dissipation forward bias, high-temperature reverse bias, dynamic and static burn-in of IC, RAM, ROM, microprocessors and other semiconductor devices.

I am beyond mortified that I ever had those thoughts and then proceeded to express them. By no means does this reflect the person who I am today."

I have become a lazy reader in recent years. In order to get back into a reading routine and make myself more accountable, I challenged myself to read 40 books by the time I am 40. I am, ahem, 33 years old which only means about 5 books a year so it will probably be more, but 40 by 40 has a nice ring to it so I’m leaving it
Book number 18 (almost halfway!) in my reading goal is We are Water by Wally Lamb. You may know Wally Lamb from his previous works: She’s Come Undone, I Know This Much is True, and The Hour I First Believed. My all-time favorite book is She’s Come Undone. If you have not read it, you must!!! It was one of Oprah’s Book Club selections years ago which put it on the map. It’s a given since She’s Come Undone is my favorite book, that I will read all of Lamb’s works. We Are Water was published in 2013, and I have been waiting patiently for the library’s copy to become available. I was so excited to read it, and this book does not disappoint.
We Are Water is the story of the Oh family from Three Rivers, Connecticut. Annie, her husband Orion, and their 3 children’s world is rocked when the couple gets divorced after 27 years of marriage. Annie has chosen to remarry Viveca, in Connecticut where gay marriage has recently become legal. As the wedding approaches Annie, as well as other members of the family, are forced to face their painful past which is littered with death, heartache, abuse, and secrets. Secrets consume this family. What is the exact nature of Annie’s past? What is the history of the paintings discovered on the Oh property? What is the real reason for Orion losing his job? We Are Water is an intense novel with layers of history, family, and again, secrets.
We Are Water is told from alternating points of view, Annie, Orion, the kids, as well as people from the past. Lamb leaves you hanging several times, as the storyline shifts to another character, and we have to wait to find out what happens next. These are a couple of reasons why I enjoyed this book so much. The character voices are so vivid, honest, and vulnerable that you want everyone in the family to be happy. The novel is full of drama and some super intense and graphic moments when aspects of the past are remembered in the current day. Some moments of suspense keep you turning the pages and keep you up past your bedtime!!
I started this blog on August 19, two years ago, in hopes of creating some good karma for the day. My father-in-law died on August 19th, 2004 and it has been a hard day ever since. I know it’s just a day, a number, and the 19th doesn’t make him any more dead than any other day of the year. But it’s still brutal. The teens of August are miserable for me. The 19th. It’s the last teen so it seems endless til the day arrives, we grieve once again, and then life seems normal again.
One thing people don’t say about grief, is that you remember ever aspect of the death day. I wish I didn’t. I wish I didn’t remember the joy and elation in my husband’s voicemail when I heard he would be home on Friday for the weekend. Then my heart breaking at the next message when he told me his dad was dead. Then listening to the next message as my husband’s aunt wanted to desperately know where my husband was so she could let him know the tragic news. I know exactly where I was. The weather. The feelings. My heart dropping. I remember the instant in which I knew my life had changed forever. My father-in-law, the only parent my husband had ever known, was gone.
Looking back at this day, 11 years later, it isn’t any damn easier. I have previously written about grief but seeing our kids interact with my parents, it becomes harder and harder to deal with the fact that they will never know their other Grandpa. We call him Grandpa Philo. I occasionally call them “shitheads” because my husband was jokingly called that as a little boy.
We try to keep the memory alive, but it is difficult. Little girls can’t really understand/comprehend the fact. But we still try. They didn’t understand he saved a baby high chair for us. They don’t understand how he would have laughed endlessly at their antics. They don’t understand there is a whole other family they don’t know because of family drama. We tell stories so Fofo is beginning to understand Papa’s Papa is dead. I look forward to the day when she asks to hear stories about him. But I dread the day too. I don’t have too many stories because he was taken from us too soon. He deserved to be a grandfather. He deserved to meet them. But that isn’t how life works. It’s hard. And we grieve. And yet we smile when we see the little bit of Grandpa Philo in each of our girls.
To August 19th, I give a giant FUCK YOU. And I also raise a Calvert and coke. We miss you man. Gone too soon, but love you forever.

Clemson University Tigers
Clemson linebacker James Skalski was ejected from the College Football Playoff semifinals after attacking Alabama wide receiver DeVante Parker, one of the game's best receivers. Some people rail against the fact that Alabama is back in the college football playoffs after a year's absence, but throw in a few words of praise for the team. Clemson LB James Harden and his ejection from a CFP game, and you know people like it.
Clemson's Travis Etienne has scored at least one touchdown in every game this season, setting an NCAA record. Uiagalelei led Clemson to its first national championship game since 2008 and its second national title in three years. Heisman stayed with Clemson for only four years, where he recorded a 19-3-2 record, but he stayed on as the Tigers' quarterback for 11 years.
Clemson finished the regular season with a 13-1 record, the second-best in school history. Clemson is seeking its third national championship since the four-team playoff debut in the 2014 season. LSU won the national championships in 2010, 2011 and 2012, while Clemson extended its streak of consecutive appearances to five years.
Clemson and Ohio State last won the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in 2014, with the Tigers winning 29-23. It was a bittersweet day for Ohio State players, coaches and fans who had been waiting for last season to end without a ceremony at the hands of the Clemson Tigers.
The Tigers beat rival University of Virginia 40-35 for the first time on September 24, 1966. The Tigers retaliated for that loss with a 10-1 victory over the Irish in the ACC Championship Game and advanced to the national semifinals by 10-1. Clemson defeated Nebraska and won the 1981 NCAA Football National Championship, beating Clemson in the Home Bowl. Those two teams also met in the Fiesta Bowl and the 2016 playoff, and Clemson beat both.
Clemson finished the year 12-0 and ranked first in Associated Press and Coaches polls and second in the College Football Playoff rankings.
The Tigers have won 21 conference championships and 32 ACC regular-season championships and tournament wins. The Tigers' baseball team recorded a record 12-2-1 in 2018, the Tigers 10-6-3 in the ACC, including two national championships, and had three consecutive seasons with at least one national championship, the most recent being 2018 and the College Football Playoff championship game in 2015. Clemson has had four consecutive years with four or more conference titles and three straight NCAA tournament berths, most recently in 2016.
Clemson has won seven regional titles since the NCAA introduced the regional tournament format in 1989. Golf was played in Clemson by more than 1,000 men and women from all 50 US states and the District of Columbia (required).
In 1896, football coach Walter Riggs came from Auburn University and worked at Clemson before coming to Clemson. The man who founded Clemson's first football team in 1896 worked at Auburn University. Before joining Clemson, the man who founded the Clemson First Football Team in 1897, Walter "Walter" Riggings, had worked for the University of Auburn for four years.
The Tigers are led by head coach Dabo Swinney, who is in his first full season as head coach. He took the job at halftime of the 2008 season and led the Tigers to an 8-4 record and an ACC Championship Game victory in each of the last three seasons. Since he took over mid-season in 2009, the Tigers have been led every season. They have led the past four seasons to a 9-2 record and a spot in the College Football Playoffs.
He took the job midway through the 2008 season and led the Tigers to an 8-4 record and an ACC Championship Game victory in each of the last three seasons. He took over midway through the 2009 season and led them to a 9-2 record and a spot in the College Football Playoffs the last four seasons.
Clemson's full schedule for the 2020 season is in place, with the Tigers making the College Football Playoffs for the first time since 2009. Clemson must hope to have a rematch with Notre Dame and Ohio State on December 17, 2020 if they are to secure a spot in the 2019 college football playoffs.

Pools cash in to stay in touch
Hartlepool kept up their play-off challenge as they brushed aside Bristol Rovers 4-0 at Victoria Park.
Victory - Pools' third win in a row at home - closed the gap on the top seven to three points and they now sit in 10th.
Rovers possess the worst away record in Sky Bet League Two and on this display it is easy to see why.
Only 58 seconds had gone when Pools took the lead. Jack Barmby's corner was headed on by Luke James and Marlon Harewood was left unmarked to head in his second goal for the club.
Pools doubled the lead after 16 minutes, with a touch of class. Bradley Walker took a touch to create space in midfield and curled a delightful shot into the corner of the net from 25 yards.
The midfielder was denied a second from similar distance with Rovers goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall going full-stretch to tip it over.
Pools hit a third goal in the 56th minute. Harewood was bundled over in the penalty area by Tom Parkes and Simon Walton confidently rolled home from the spot.
The only time the visitors threatened was when a shot from substitute Chris Beardsley hit the crossbar in the 84th minute.
Pools capped it off in the 90th minute when Jon Franks cracked in a shot from 12 yards after James had hit the post.

CLA Talks Innovation, Sustainability and Policy in the Current Political Climate
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Earlier today, CropLife America (CLA) President and CEO Jay Vroom and CLA Senior Vice President and General Counsel Rachel Lattimore spoke to an audience of representatives from around the agriculture community on agribusiness in the current political climate. The event, hosted by Barnes & Thornburg in Indianapolis, Indiana, took an in-depth look at Emerging Trends and Opportunities in the Agricultural and Food Industries.
During his presentation, Vroom spoke to the overall agricultural trends he has observed during the transition to a new administration and addressed the importance of continuing to support innovation in rural America. “Technological advancement drives farm productivity. Due largely to innovation in farming equipment and products, U.S. farmers have increased yields of corn by 380 percent and soybeans by 990 percent since 1960,” he stated. “The U.S. government’s focus on intellectual property protection and a science-based regulatory system ensures continued investment in new technology that enables farmers to grow robust crops on less land, promoting environmental sustainability.”
Farmers, the original conservationists, are increasingly leveraging new technologies — including variable rate control equipment, guidance systems, and soil testing and monitoring software — to better protect their land for future generations of farmers. “Sustainability is more than just a slogan for U.S. farmers,” Vroom said. “Thanks to highly advanced tools, farmers now have metrics to show U.S. farm production is the most protective of biodiversity and economically sustainable in the world.”
Vroom focused on a couple of important policy issues currently facing agribusiness. “U.S. agricultural exports are a major contributor to our country’s GDP and are essential to the success and survival of American farms. I am encouraged by the ag trade team that the Trump Administration has assembled,” he said. “The team is poised to make great new strides in increasing market access for the U.S. farmer.”
Vroom also addressed the need for a fix for the Endangered Species Act (ESA). “Requirements in ESA have greatly impeded the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to complete their missions. The current process makes it impossible for them to efficiently review new products and re-examine older products used by farmers,” he continued. “It’s time for government to resolve this conundrum and restore some sanity to the process of protecting endangered and threatened species.”
Lattimore spoke on similar themes saying, “The continuing conflict between the ESA and federal pesticide laws causes litigation, product approval delays and grower uncertainty. The courts will not solve this problem. We need a better approach.” On the issue of regulatory reform, she added, “Our members are supportive of EPA getting back on a science-based track and providing growers with more certainty about the tools they need. At the same time, CLA is taking a close look at proposals around regulatory reform. We don’t want the regulatory process to slow down to such a pace that reform itself causes market uncertainty.”
If you have ideas or concerns on how to move U.S. farming forward, get involved now with the conversation online with #FoodForward and #GiveaCrop. CLA actively engages with consumers, food bloggers, farmers, chefs, foodies, journalists and others interested in food production on social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For more information on how farmers use crop protection technology to grow healthy food, visit www.GiveaCrop.org.

Sony Ericsson ST18i, a.k.a. Azusa breaks cover, pics and specs available
Even better, after some quick searching we managed to obtain its user agent that gives away some juicy details about this new Xperia phone.
To start with, the ST18i (which seems to be codenamed “Azusa”) is a GSM handset running the latest version of Android for phones - Gingerbread, has a Cortex-A8 processor and a resolution of 480 x 854.
It's obvious from the leaked pics that it has two cameras (the rear one has flash), as it's also obvious that the ST18i shares some similarities in design with the Sony Ericsson Xperia mini.
That's the certain part, but rumor has it (according to the Chinese site ZOL) that the Sony Ericsson Azusa sports a 3.3-inch TFT display and will be launched this month (presumably in China).

A successor to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.
2. Droidme_please (unregistered)
Considering it's produced by a Japanese company, it's probably "Azusa," not "Asuza," fyi. Azusa is a common name for Japanese girls.
6. darkie (unregistered)
I think it will be codenamed "azusa" just like droidme says.
But, the design is not very appealing to me...
