Former Fonterra Shareholders Council chairman Simon Couper explores Fonterra's core advantage.
The co-op's handling of the issue hasn't gone down well with farmers, says Federated Farmers Dairy chairman Andrew Hoggard.
He says many farmers were disappointed to get a letter last month urging them to restrict PKE usage below 3kg/day/cow.
"It's the way it was announced; rather than engaging with farmers the co-op sent a letter leaving farmers a bit concerned," he told Rural News.
Hoggard last week attended a Fonterra shareholders meeting in Palmerston North and raised the issue; chairman John Wilson and
chief executive Theo Spierings were at the meeting.
Hoggard says the farmers were told that excessive use of PKE could become an issue for our international customers.
"If there's an issue, then we have to take action; we can't be making milk that no one will buy. But I hope Fonterra doesn't come down with us on with processes; I hope they give us information and get our feedback before deciding what to do."
Hoggard believes a bonus system for less PKE use and a demerit system for high PKE use may work.
Fonterra has told farmers it is setting guidelines for the use of PKE: maximum quantity 3kg/cow/day.
Fonterra chairman John Wilson says PKE usage has doubled in the past four years. Higher levels of PKE begin to affect milk composition, he says.
Fonterra is planning more tests and research in the coming months on PKE usage and its effect on milk composition.
Fonterra subsidiary Farm Source is a major traders of PKE, a by-product of the palm oil industry in South East Asia. PKE is the residue of mechanical extraction of oil from the nut of the palm tree.
PKE is a dry, gritty meal with a soapy smell and has low palatability until cows get a taste for it. However, it has reasonable levels of energy (ME) and protein, and is relatively easy to introduce to cows.
Fonterra group director co-operative affairs Miles Hurrell says after pasture, PKE is one of the cheapest supplementary feed options for farmers.
Our data shows that use of PKE is increasing, he says.
"We recommend our farmers follow [our maximum ration] guidelines.... The recommended maximum of 3kg/per day/per cow is a voluntary guideline and we will work with our farmers to help them maximise profitability while ensuring the health of their herd."
Hurrell says consumers globally are driving a trend towards dairy products that are sourced from pasture-based milk.
"Consumers want to know what is in their food and where it comes from. We... make the most of this trend to enhance returns to our farmers who are already renowned for producing the best milk in the world... from pasture-based farming.
"This gives us a key competitive advantage globally. Our milk products have an excellent reputation and we want to maintain that, and stay ahead of increasing consumer expectations."
Why new rules?
- Trend shows large increase in PKE use
- Fonterra is developing a milk test for indications of high PKE use
- No current hard-and-fast rules on PKE limits
- The 3kg PKE/cow/day ‘guidance’ precludes PKE use getting to the point where the co-op cannot process the milk to customers’ requirements
- The biggest part of a cow’s daily intake (18–20kg) in NZ is pasture, seen as a benefit by consumers.

Schools urged to tap solar power for big savings

“The time is now!”
That was the call to action issued by Standard Solar Inc Director John Finnerty for increased implementation of solar in schools at North America’s largest renewable energy event, RE+, on Tuesday.
In the United States, nearly one in 10 schools from the kindergarten to grade 12 level has solar-power systems and some six million students attend a solar school.
California heads the list of states for cumulative solar capacity with 703,507kW, followed by New Jersey and Arizona.
Finnerty said the roofs of school buildings and parking lots are prime areas for harnessing solar power and urged school administrators globally to tap in as “the cost of doing nothing is huge”.
“In the US, there is so much demand from the students and teachers and parents all looking to make their schools more sustainable,, and the administrators are seeing the big value in financial savings to their budget,” he said.
Jamaica’s education ministry signed an energy savings performance contract in March 2022, which will see 30 secondary schools benefiting from a pilot project, which aims to reduce electricity costs by 40 to 70 per cent.
“It’s a great place to implement solar, and I think the more it gets implemented in the Caribbean, the better, especially because electricity costs are so high. There are lots of financial tools available, and the market has really adapted itself perfectly for schools,” Finnerty told The Gleaner in a post-presentation interview.
The Schools Energy Efficiency and Solar Pilot Project is also expected to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources.
Under the project, Jamaican schools will be retrofitted with LED lighting, inverter air-conditioning units, and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, among other solutions.
Meanwhile, Finnerty encouraged school administrators to explore a variety of financing options, including loans, bonds, grants, donations, government funds, third-party ownership, and other solutions.
Providing a breakdown of the financing tools used by US schools, he said 87 per cent of solar capacity installed by K-12 schools is funded through third-party ownership; six per cent by cash, loans, and bonds; and the remaining seven per cent by grants, government funds, and donations.
Finnerty added that renewable energy companies can accelerate the implementation in schools by bringing feasible proposals to school boards and demonstrating their ability to deliver a team of experienced and ready solar-school partners.


Sinumerik Alarm 20002 Channel %1 axis %2 zero mark not found
%1 = Channel number
%2 = Axis name, spindle number
The zero marker of the incremental encoder is not within a defined section. Phase 2 of reference point approach ends when the zero marker of the encoder has been detected after the rising/falling edge of the PLC interface signal “DECELERATION REF- ERENCE POINT APPROACH” (DB 31 – 48, DBX 12.7) has given the trigger start. The maximum distance between the trigger start and the zero marker that follows is defined in the machine data 34060 REFP_MAX_MARKER_DIST. The monitor prevents a zero marker signal from being over traveled and the next being evaluated as reference point signal. (Faulty cam adjustment or excessive delay by the PLC user program).
– NC Start disable in this channel.
– Interface signals are set.
– Alarm display.
– NC Stop on alarm.
– If the axis is a single axis when this alarm is triggered, the alarm is only effective for this axis (not effective for e.g. the channel or mode group)
Please inform the authorized personnel/service department. Check the cam adjustment and make sure that the distance is sufficient between the end of the cam and the zero marker signal that follows. The path must be greater than the axis can cover in the PLC cycle time. Increase the machine data 34060 REFP_MAX_MARKER_DIST, but do not select a value greater than the distance between the 2 zero markers. This might result in the monitor being switched off.
Clear alarm with the RESET key. Restart part program

For almost 25 years, MerlinOne has had an annual tradition of gifting toys to low-income and military families for the holidays. Every December the Quincy, MA. staff goes on a shopping spree at Toys R Us, purchasing over 1,000 toys for area charities. This year our out-of-state and Canadian employees were able to join in as well, via an online shopping spree.
All of us at MerlinOne would like to thank our loyal digital asset management customers, and wish you all a wonderful holiday season! It is because of you that we are able to give back to the community every year, and this holiday season we were able to donate toys to over 830 children in need. We’d like to take a moment to tell you about the organizations you have helped support:
Cape Cod Military Family Foundation
Just before the holidays, they had a tragic warehouse fire at Joint Base Cape Cod. Thankfully no one was hurt, but over 1,000 toys they had collected were lost in the fire. We were able to provide them with a van full of toys to help replace what was lost, and Operation Homefront delivered them in time for their holiday party on December 11th.
ABCD serves more than 100,000 low-income Greater Boston residents annually through its city-wide network of neighborhood-based organizations. It provides innovative, timely programs that promote upward mobility and a higher quality of life for people and communities in need. We have been a proud donor to their Holiday Toy Drive for over 20 years and look forward to supporting them in the future. For more information on the programs they offer, please visit http://bostonabcd.org/.
This year we sponsored 25 children from Interfaith Social Services to provide them with items from their Christmas wishlists, plus an additional bulk toy donation for children who did not get individual sponsors. Founded in 1947, Interfaith Social Services is dedicated to improving life for local families and individuals in need. They rely on a team of volunteers, donors and community partners to deliver compassionate, client-centered programs focused on hunger, mental health and emergency assistance. Over 600 children were signed up for the holiday program last year, and even more are expected this year. For many, these are the only gifts they will receive. For more information, please visit their website at http://www.interfaithsocialservices.org/.
The Northeast Chapter of Operation Homefront is headquartered in our hometown of Quincy, Massachusetts. We have supported their Christmas Toy Drive for the last three years, and are honored to give back to the military families that sacrifice so much for our country. Operation Homefront assists military families during difficult financial times by providing food assistance, auto and home repair, vision care, travel and transportation, moving assistance, essential home items, and financial assistance. They also have an outreach program to provide support to Wounded Warriors and the families of active and retired military personnel.
MerlinOne has been a proud supporter of military families for over 15 years, and this year we were especially proud to once again sponsor the United States Army Reserve 439th Quartermaster Co. Brockton Detachment. Wishlist gifts were purchased and wrapped for 39 children of military personnel, and distributed at their annual family day in December. We are honored to give back to these military families that give so much to all of us.
We look forward to continuing to support these wonderful organizations and the much needed services they provide.
Thank you again from all of us at MerlinOne, and best wishes for 2017!

Benjamin Netanyahu gave a 32-minute interview to Channel 12 on Monday evening, his second television interview in four days. This isn’t how a Netanyahu campaign usually works. The prime minister’s strategy, ever since he returned to power in 2009, is to starve the Israeli media of interviews, sometimes for entire years, only to launch a blitz in the last week before an election. That way, the studios give him as much screen time as he likes to set out his agenda.

AbstractThe overall goal of this Phase II project is to design, develop and prototype a hand-held, Go/No Go testing device to objectively evaluate the complete health of a fiber optic terminus endface. The proposed 3D Interferometer Probe system incorporates a novel optical phase detecting (i.e., interferometric) technology into a very compact and robust imaging probe, designed to enable simultaneous defect and 3D surface geometry evaluation. The compact form factor of the Optical Probe is physically compatible with existing and proposed MIL standard connector designs. A portable data processing unit (DPU) receives and evaluates the optical data from the probe and displays clear Go/No Go results for the termini being tested. An Alpha prototype will be built as part of the Phase II base program and a Beta prototype will be built and delivered as part of the Phase II option. A study to quantify the effects of fiber protrusion/recession within fiber optic termini on optical signal quality will be designed and conducted in parallel with prototype development.

Something spooky - the development of the Dudley Ghost Tour
For many years now something spooky has been taking place in the darkened streets of Dudley...
The Dudley Ghost Tour is renowned for the unique look of its ghosts, and Heritage Open Days visitors get a glimpse of the work that goes into creating them as well as a chance to hear the stories through a special exhibition each September. As we approach Halloween, Craig Denston tells us more about the development of the tour and some scares along the way...
I became involved in the Dudley Ghost Tour from the very beginning in 1993, when Keith Cheetham, the then director of Black Country Tourism approached me to be one of the actors portraying the many ghosts talked about on his new tour. Back then Black Country Tourism was based in the Priory Mansion, Dudley, in the grounds of the priory ruins. Keith had been on a ghost tour in Edinburgh, and he just thought, “We could do one of those in Dudley!”
Ironically, Keith only knew me as an actor who portrayed King Charles the second. I had been doing a lot of work for the National Trust, at places like Moseley Old Hall just north of Wolverhampton re-creating the role of the Merry Monarch. Well do I remember that phone call, back in September of 1993. It was like my dream job! “Do you want to dress up as a ghost, hang around in dark corners and scare the living daylights out of people, AND get paid for it?” Hell yes!
Keith only knew me as an actor really, an actor that happened to be interested in local history. He had no inkling of the other theatre design skills I had that I would bring to the ghost tour and use to create the ghosts and eventually coming to define the entire “look” of the tour. It was important to me from the very start that the “ghosts” had their own masks. Masks unique to the ghost tour, so the ghosts inhabited their own world and there could be no sense of recognition in the characters. Nobody could say, “Oh, I’ve seen one of those in the shops!” or, “I’ve got one of those at home!”
A bit of a scare
But inevitably, you can’t do a ghost tour for so many years, and not have a few scares of your own. One night, myself and the other ghost actor had finished a couple of appearances within the castle walls, and while the tour was still occupied inside, our next job was to exit via the North gate that led to the Queen Mary ballroom, cut round the outside of the castle and meet up with the tour at the front again. We knew we didn’t have to rush and so ambled across the bridge chatting as we usually did about some trivia or another.
Suddenly from under the bridge came a deep cavernous bellow, a hideous inhuman cry, incredibly loud. We both nearly died of fright, until we realised we were right over the sea lion pool and they were happily playing in the water right below our feet! This may sound crazy, but with our minds wrapped up in all the history of the ghosts and the castle; it was so easy to forget that you were right in the middle of a zoo.
Then suddenly, in 1997 it was announced that Black Country Tourism was to close. It came as a shock to be honest; it was unexpected. And at the same time, Dave and Lynne who had been the tour guides for the last four years took this as their cue to announce that this was the time for them to quit too. They had done it for four years, and now they wanted to move on, and the truth is, I knew how they felt. I was fed up of doing the same ghosts night after night, in a script that wasn’t even mine. But suddenly the ghost tour was left hanging in the air. What was to be done about it? I was sorry to see it go. The fact is, in those four brief years, the ghost tour had become an institution. It had become something that Dudley was known for, and that’s why I couldn’t let it go. I just couldn’t stand back and let it die. And so I quite literally, “gave up the ghost” and became the guide.
I must make a confession at this point; when I first started to be a guide I’m not sure that I was much good at it. I was very nervous at first, very self-conscious, and had a terrible habit of fiddling with my cravat every five minutes.
I was still using a script that I had inherited; I still had not thought to question any of it. But I had deliberately not memorised the stories word for word, I had memorised them in the way you remember a joke you want to tell to a friend. This generated a far more spontaneous flow, and kept the stories sounding fresh as if I was always telling them for the first time. This gave me the freedom to improvise, to throw in funny asides, jokes or comments about people on the other side of the street or about passing traffic.
Something old, something new
However, it wasn’t until the year 2000 that I met Maxine, the then landlady of the Malt Shovel pub. We had a chat about the haunting in the pub, and on the next ghost tour I did, I began to incorporate these new stories into the script without even thinking about it. And that was a major turning point for me. It was like an epiphany.
Suddenly the script was no longer some old thing I had inherited. It was no longer dead printed words on a piece of paper. It had become a living thing, growing and changing and evolving. And that’s when I lost my self-consciousness, and I started to tell the stories with a passion. I could forget myself, and live within the moment of each story. It was like how Stanislavsky said about acting, “You must enjoy the art in oneself, and not oneself in the art.” And I hope that the ghost tour will always continue to be a living thing.

Cerebellar learning is expressed as upbound or downbound changes in simple spike activity of Purkinje cell subpopulations, but the underlying mechanism remains enigmatic. By visualizing murine Purkinje cells with different molecular identities, we demonstrate that the potential for induction of long-term depression is prominent in downbound and minimal in the upbound subpopulation. These differential propensities depend on the expression profile, but not on the synaptic inputs, of the individual Purkinje cell involved, highlighting the functional relevance of intrinsic properties for memory formation.

Friends Season 7 Episode 19 (The One With Ross And Monica S Cousin)
Friends Season 7 Episode 19 Subtitles, Watch Friends Season 7 Episode 19 Online, Friends S7E19 Online. Top Netflix TV Shows Online, Friends TV Series Download HD quality full Streaming english subbed. You can easily watch full episodes of Friends TV Series.
If you’re a fan of Friends, you likely watched the show while watching the news. The show’s story follows the friends as they go about their everyday lives, big and small, and they all came together to help with the war in Vietnam.
The show’s season contained 24 episodes and ended with May 17, 2001. I think it’s time to move on from Friends.
Since the end of the season of Friends, many people have asked what is happening with the show. You can watch the show again and again, but you might not want to divest yourself of your friendlyagyrible feeling. That’s because just before the show ended in May 2001, U.S. forces withdrawing from Southeast Asia began to be replaced by the British in what was called “The Warumbrella.” The way these shows are written, it looked like David Crane and Marta Kauffman’s project was coming to an end.

Touching the Tide Dunwich 2015 Excavations
The results from the excavations in Dunwich are now available online.
Please clickto read the full report from the excavations.
A total of 53 volunteers took part in the HLF-funded Touching the Tide Dunwich Dig. Over the nine day excavation these volunteers, with ages ranging between 6 and 80, shifted over 62 metric tons of soil, which equates to moving the weight of 97 Mini Coopers! A very 'well done' to all involved!
Based on the participants' feedback, 95% rated the experience either 'Excellent' or 'Good' with the majority of people also saying that meeting new people, finding things and learning more about Dunwich were what they enjoyed most about the dig.

Racism: An American Cauldron (Paperback)Christopher Bates Doob (author)
- Not available
This brief paperback text provides an analysis of racism, not race relations. It uses the concept of "internal colonialism," a prominent conflict theory throughout to emphasize the oppressive nature of American racism. Using a powerful and direct writing style, the book uses two decisive levels of analysis: the broad macro-level analysis of forces producing racism and the micro-level focus on case-study material demonstrating the intimate workings of racist reality. Beginning with a historical background on America's main racial minorities, it then examines the effects of racism on each group in areas of politics, criminal justice, violence, work, education, family, and mass media.

If you’re considering buying Clomid (clomiphene) online—without seeing a doctor and without a prescription—think again. Sure, you may be lucky and score the "real" drug, but how do you know for sure? In 2016, the FDA sent more than 1,300 letters to medical practices in the U. which had purchased unapproved medications from TC Medical, an unlicensed supplier of counterfeit Botox. But, based on a casual review of online chat rooms, it is clearly a practice that some people not only embrace but encourage others to do. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the scale of the problem when its issued a letter to doctors warning against the practice of buying drugs from foreign or prescription-free websites. Why people would consider this an option is still unclear given that the drug costs only between $10 and $100 a cycle. With a drug like Clomid, which is meant to promote ovulation, not getting pregnant may be related to any number of factors. In response to the allegations, TC Medical pleaded guilty to orchestrating a multi-year conspiracy to smuggle misbranded prescription products into the U. Furthermore, since 2010, the FDA has received over 1,400 complaints of adverse effects from drugs purchased from a disreputable online source. So, while you may think that While the very thought that someone would take the time create a fake version of an otherwise inexpensive drug may seem outlandish, it has become far more common a practice in the U. Given that the reports were issued in response to a severe medical event, it can only be assumed that the figure is a drop in the bucket in terms of the actual scale of the problem. In the same way that certain drugs are faked, others are regularly stolen and resold to consumers at a hefty profit. In 2010, a drug heist at the Eli Lilly warehouse in Enfield, Connecticut made off with $100 million in commonly prescribed drugs, including antipsychotics and cancer medications. Clomid has been used to induce ovulation for more that thirty years and is often the first fertility drug that couples come in contact with. It is (relatively) inexpensive as fertility drugs go, it is easily taken (orally rather than by injection) and it is the first line drug used for ovulation induction in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and other ovulatory disorders. Clomiphene Citrate is capable of reacting with all of the tissues in the body that have estrogen receptors. These tissues include hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary, endometrium, vagina and cervix. Clomid influences the way that the four hormones required for ovulation, Gn RH, FSH, LH and estradiol, relate and interrelate. In essence it appears that Clomid fools the body into believing that the estrogen level is low. This altered feedback information causes the hypothalamus (an area of the brain) to make and release more gonadotropin releasing hormone (Gn RH) which in turn causes the pituitary to make and release more FSH and LH.

Avril Lavigne Launches Her Own TikTok with "Sk8er Boi" Video Featuring Tony Hawk
Though he is much more a Sk8er Man
Published Jun 22, 2021Like so many other artists these days, Avril Lavigne has taken the plunge and started a TikTok. She did so with a perfect mashup video, featuring her 2002 hit "Sk8er Boi" and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
The clip begins as a music video of sorts, as Avril lip-syncs "Sk8er Boi," but it quickly cuts to Hawk doing some tricks on a half pipe while wearing an Avril-style T-shirt and tie combo. Hawk — who at age 53 is very much a Sk8er Man — is no stranger to TikTok, as he runs his own successful account.
Hawk and Lavigne didn't simply film their collaboration remotely — they actually met up in-person, and Avril shared a few photos from the day. See both the video and the behind-the-scenes photos below.

Geochemistry and Isotopes of Fluids from Sulphur Springs, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
Journal Article: Geochemistry and Isotopes of Fluids from Sulphur Springs, Valles Caldera, New Mexico
AbstractDetailed geochemistry supported by geologic mapping has been used to investigate Sulphur Springs, an acid-sulfate hot spring system that issues from the western flank of the resurgent dome inside Valles Caldera. The most intense activity occurs at the intersection of faults offsetting caldera-fill deposits and post-caldera rhyolites. Three geothermal wells in the area have encountered pressures <1 MPa and temperatures of 200°C at depths of 600 to 1000 m. Hot spring and fumarole fluids may discharge at boiling temperatures with pH _ 1.0 and SO4 _8000 mg/l. These conditions cause argillic alterations throughout a large area.
>Non-condensible gases consist of roughly 99% CO2 with minor amounts of H2S, H2, and CH4. Empirical gas geothermometry suggests a deep reservoir temperature of 215 to 280°C. Comparison of 13C and 18O between CaCO3 from well cuttings and CO2 from fumarole steam indicates a fractionation temperature between 200 and 300°C by decarbonation of hydrothermally altered Paleozoic limestone and vein calcite in the reservoir rocks. Tritium concentrations obtained from steam condensed in a mudpot and deep reservoir fluids (Baca #13, _278°C) are 2.1 and 1.0 T.U. respectively, suggesting the steam originates from a reservoir whose water is mostly >50 yrs old. Deuterium contents of fumarole steam, deep reservoir fluid, and local meteoric water are practically identical even though 18O contents range through 4�, thus, precipitation on the resurgent dome of the caldera could recharge the hydrothermal system by slow percolation. From analysis of D and 18O values between fumarol steam and deep reservoir fluid, steam reaches the surface either (1) by vaporizing relatively shallow groundwater at 200°C or (2) by means of a two-stage boiling process through an intermediate level reservoir at roughly 200°C.
> Although many characteristics of known vapor-dominated geothermal systems are found at Sulphur Springs, fundamental differences exist in temperature and pressure of our postulated vapor-zone. We propose that the reservoir beneath Sulphur Springs is too small or too poorly confined to sustain a 'true' vapor-dominated system and that the Sulphur Springs system may be a 'dying' vapor-dominated system that has practically boiled itself dry.

The text begins with a study of tables and graphs, and the concept of the variable is developed from that platform. Graphs are used extensively throughout the book to illustrate algebraic technique and to help students visualize relationships between variables. This book ultimately builds an intuitive framework for the later study of functions, thus giving students the skills they need to be successful in future math courses., 5267708011, Schools & Teaching, 69822, Adult & Continuing Education, 266134, Computers & Technology, 69828, Counseling, 266136, Curricula, 266133, Distance Learning, 69824, Early Childhood Education, 69829, Education Theory, 10633, Funding, 69844, Homeschooling, 15959731, Instruction Methods, 10646, Lesson Planning, 10671, Parent Participation, 266137, Pedagogy, 3048961, Professional Development, 10680, Special Education, 16022311, Vocational, 21, Education & Reference, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13884, Mathematics, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books

Untapable looks unbeatable.
With that in mind, New York Racing Association oddsmaker Eric Donovan made the daughter of Tapit 1-5 on the morning line against five rivals for today’s Grade I Mother Goose at Belmont Stakes.
This will be Untapable’s first start in New York, after having laid waste to the competition in New Orleans and Louisville, Ky., this year.
Untapable has won three graded stakes — the Rachel Alexandra and Fair Grounds Oaks at Fair Grounds, and the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs — by a combined 21 3⁄4 lengths.
After the Oaks race, there was speculation that she might come back in the Preakness, as trainer Steve Asmussen did with Rachel Alexandra in 2009.
Asmussen and owner Ron Winchell have chosen to keep her in the 3-year-old filly division, though, where she hasn’t found any competition.
“She’s special,” Asmussen told the Churchill press office after Untapable breezed four furlongs in 49.60 on Monday. “You realize how fortunate we are to be around her. She’s just a tremendous talent, and it’s exciting and fun to have her.”
John Velazquez has the mount on Untapable while her regular rider, Rosie Napravnik, continues to recover from a shoulder injury suffered on June 15 while exercising Socialbug, who was euthanized.
The Mother Goose is the fourth race on the card, with a scheduled post time of 2:53 p.m.
Untapable will break from post No. 2.
At 8-1, Stopchargingmaria, the Black Eyed Susan winner, was the only other filly listed under 10-1, but trainer Todd Pletcher told The Daily News Friday night that his filly will scratch from the Mother Goose and wait for the Coaching Club of America Oaks.
The Belmont card also includes the Grade II New York for fillies and mares at a mile and a quarter on the turf.
Tannery, who won the Grade I E.P. Taylor at Woodbine last year, is 9-5. Eighth in the New York last year, she raced against males twice since then, a fourth in the Sword Dancer at Saratoga and a third in the Red Smith at Belmont.
Tannery will break from the hedge just inside 2-1 Riposte, a Juddmonte Farms 4-year-old who raced in Europe before being brought to the U.S. in 2014. Riposte has hit the board in all four starts, most recently a win in the Sheepshead Bay.
Tannery’s only start this year was a win in the Miss Liberty.
“We got what we were looking for,” trainer Alan Goldberg said. “She might prefer a little more ground, but we’re pointing her towards the Diana, so we’re going to have to turn her back, anyway.”
Also of interest in the card is the seventh race, an allowance that has drawn Capo Bastone.
The 7-2 third choice won the King’s Bishop at Saratoga last year, but hasn’t fared well while testing deep waters since then, so the drop-down in class seems logical.
He’s been well off the board in four starts since the King’s Bishop, including an 11th to Palace Malice in the Met Mile.
Discipline is pending in the wake of a fistfight between trainer Dale Romans and newsletter publisher Ed Musselman on the backstretch at Churchill Downs during training hours on Thursday.
Musselman, who writes the “Indian Charlie” leaflet, recently had written some scathing shots about Romans and his training practices. The dust-up at Churchill left Musselman with a black eye, scrapes on his face and a cut on his arm, and Romans had a welt on his head that he said was the result of crashing into a picnic table.
“He looked at me, and I said, ‘Why do you keep writing about me?’ and he swung without being provoked in any way,” Romans told the Louisville Courier-Journal. “Then the fight broke out, and he got [messed] up, for the record.”
Musselman has been banned from the Churchill grounds until the matter is resolved by track administrators.
Earlier this year, his print publication was banned for distribution at all NYRA tracks, Churchill Downs, Keeneland and tracks owned by Frank Stronach for insensitive wisecracks about Mexicans.
MORE WEEKEND STAKES
Santa Anita will host the 75th Grade I Gold Cup today, adding the race to its schedule for the first time since Hollywood Park was closed.
The Gold Cup features a rematch between Game On Dude, who won it the last two years, and Imperative, who beat Game On Dude by a length and a half in their last start, the Charles Town Classic.
Game On Dude is the 4-5 favorite.
The card also includes the Grade I Triple Bend, where Sahara Sky is 8-5. He won the Met Mile last year, then took a long break before returning this season. He won the San Carlos for the second year in a row in March.
A nice card at Prairie Meadows includes the Iowa Derby, Iowa Oaks and Cornhusker, which has drawn Travers co-winner Golden Ticket.
Ria Antonia, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies by disqualification last year, is entered in the Oaks off a 10th in the Preakness.
Louisiana Derby winner Vicar’s in Trouble, who was last of 19 in the Kentucky Derby, is a slight 3-1 favorite in the well-balanced Iowa Derby.

South Devon Church Fair Under Fire for Plans to Display Live Owls
For Immediate Release:
14 July 2017
Olivia Jordan +44 (0) 20 7837 6327, ext 229; [email protected]
SOUTH DEVON CHURCH FAIR UNDER FIRE FOR PLANS TO DISPLAY LIVE OWLS
PETA Calls for Wild-Animal Attraction to Be Axed so Owls Won’t Suffer
Kingsbridge, Devon – After learning that St Edmund’s Church plans to display live owls at the Kingsbridge Fair next week, PETA has sent an urgent letter to the Reverend Jackie Taylor asking her to withdraw the animal attraction from the event.
“Subjecting sensitive owls, who have highly acute hearing and vision, to the stress of travel, a cacophony of sounds, and hordes of strangers at a fair would be a tremendously frightening experience for them,” writes PETA Campaigns Strategist Luke Steele. “The best place for kind owl enthusiasts to admire these birds is in their natural environment, not at a fair.”
In the letter, PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment” – notes that there are serious animal-welfare concerns associated with using birds of prey for displays. Owls are intelligent, nocturnal animals, and it goes completely against their nature to be tethered and subjected to crowds and loud noises, so these conditions have the potential to cause them tremendous stress. The group adds that while owl attacks on humans are rare, they do happen and can result in serious harm.

Maybe it could be called an alternative for euroskeptic fundraising, as opposed to Germany. The AfD's online gold shop, set up to bolster finances and thereby ensure more state assistance on top, has come into question.
The speaker or president of the German parliament, Norbert Lammert, on Friday said that he was considering changing the rules on party financing in Germany.
Lammert was responding to the euroskeptic AfD ("Alternative for Germany") party's online gold shop, where the AfD sells gold at nearly-competitive rates to people looking "to buy gold products and simultaneously support the AfD," as the shop's front page puts it.
The AfD has made major gains in several state elections, after narrowly missing out nationally last year
The AfD has said that it set up this trading platform to ensure that it qualifies for the maximum amount of state aid that a party can receive under German law.
German political parties are eligible for a maximum of 2 million euros ($2.48 million) in state financial aid each year - but to receive this, they must generate the same sum in revenues. Lammert on Friday said, however, that the constitutional provision demanding that parties generate at least half of their funding themselves had traditional grassroots donations in mind, not activity like this.
Hitting the quota
In terms of gross turnover, the AfD has logged 2.1 million euros in sales, meaning it qualifies for the full complement of taxpayer assistance for 2014: "That was our goal, and we've achieved it," a party spokesperson told the Reuters news agency.
Profit margins on the enterprise are of course far smaller - the AfD has to buy the gold before selling it - but just bolstering the revenue figures suffices to bring in the state assistance.
"This is pure madness," Green party politician Britta Hasselmann said. "The AfD is conducting a lucrative business and then being rewarded with taxpayer funds on top."
Cashing in on euro critique
As a newcomer on the German political scene, the AfD argues that it lacks the grassroots networks and contacts to commercial investors that the established German parties use to raise their funds. Their inventive solution also intentionally adopts a political stance, with the party saying that its faith in the profitability of gold products is rooted in its doubts about the stability of the euro currency.
"We cannot and do not want to take responsibility for how citizens invest their money. That is not a political party's job," the online shop's introductory text states. "But we do recognize that gold is fundamentally a product which is perceived by many citizens as a crisis-resistant and forward-thinking form of investment. We are available to these citizens as a provider of gold products."
The same preamble concludes with an invitation for customers to provide a traditional political donation, besides those prized new coins or gold bars, noting that 20,000 German citizens currently contribute.
Proof of the party's arrival?
"Who will pay for us when we can no longer pay?" One of many eurozone debt-driven slogans from the AfD
Party officials on Friday said that they were expecting a complaint, sooner or later, about their alternative fundraising platform - but claimed that they were just trying to level an already-skewed playing field.
"For decades, the established German parties have benefitted from an evolved network of contributors and companies," leading AfD politician Frauke Petry said.
She advised parliamentary speaker Lammert, a Christian Democrat, to think back to the expenses scandal that toppled Helmut Kohl, when the CDU was forced to admit to keeping millions in anonymous donations off the public record, often in tax havens like Switzerland. Petry said that the legal sale of gold coins online paled in comparison to such practices.
Party spokesman Christian Lüth went a step further, saying the complaint was only raised because of the site's success: "The large interest which the AfD's gold trading service has found among citizens, is in itself proof that the party is laying roots in German society."
Only founded in 2013, with an ideology somewhat comparable to that of UKIP in Britain, the AfD is already close to establishing a spot in the German political mainstream. At its first ever general election last September, it came agonizingly close to clearing the 5-percent hurdle required to qualify for national parliamentary representation, winning 4.7 percent of the vote.
On a regional level, the AfD has already enjoyed greater success: in the eastern state of Thuringia, for instance, it won 11 of 91 seats (10.6 percent of the vote) in September elections. The euroskeptics also hold seven seats at the European Parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg, following a 7.1-percent haul in May's European elections - only a modest success by the standards of euroskeptics or far-right groups in several other EU countries.
As for the party's online shop, it's planning to soon expand and offer the sale of books. However, only titles in keeping with the party policies are liable to be offered: spokesman Lüth said that works by former Social Democrat politician turned immigration critic Thilo Sarrazin could be examples of the type of texts set to go on sale.

Arizona Rattlers to allow full fan capacity at Phoenix Suns Arena
May 4, 2021, 9:35 AM
(Tom Kuebel/Arizona Sports)
The Arizona Rattlers became the first team in the Valley to announce full capacity for their 2021 home games at Phoenix Suns Arena.
“We are used to winning in this building. We just looked at COVID as our next opponent,” team president and head coach Kevin Guy said in a press release sent out Monday. “So after having several discussions at the league level and with the arena, we collaborated on a plan that would allow for us to create the safest environment possible for our players, coaches, corporate partners and fans to return to the games.
“Playing without fans was not an option, so we wanted our organization to set an example and put a strong plan in place for a safe and successful return to play.”
The Rattlers’ home opener is slated for June 12 against the Tucson Sugar Skulls.
The season was pushed back by the Indoor Football League in order to allow fans back in teams’ respective buildings. It usually starts in March.
The release adds the decision comes after Guy implemented numerous health and safety protocols for the team this offseason. Fans will still need to wear a mask at all times while inside Phoenix Suns Arena, except when eating or drinking.
Over 60 players, coaches and front office members were tested for the virus during the team’s first day of training camp. None tested positive for COVID-19.
“From day one, all of our players and coaches bought in, because it came down to playing the games,” Guy said.


Stainless steel - 4,65 and 4, mm diameter x 5 mm of length - bag with 6 units, guide not included
The special conical form of spring allows that when compressed only has a thickness of 0,46 mm
With this new conical design, it is not necessary to cut the spring to decrease the thickness when compressed, it also retains its integrity to get the parrallel return of the guide and also will keep the necessary firmness, keeping the guide in the track.

The Houston City Council accomplished three major actions today: (1) implementing a tax break for developers who raze buildings, (2) approving a tax credit for affordable (family friendly) apartments in District A and (3) a rewrite of the City’s animal control laws. Among the other actions taken, the City unanimously decided to both offer a bigger incentive to police academy recruits and amend ethics/disclosure rules for the municipal governance. I will have more on each and every one of these issues, complete with analysis and commentary from pertinent sources, including Councilmember C.O. Bradford on the dog issue.
First, on the minor issues, the Council unanimously voted to offer a $5000 incentive to new police academy recruits. As Mike Morris, a Houston Chronicle reporter/writer, noted on Twitter, this will hopefully make cops’ salaries somewhat more competitive in the marketplace. The cost is estimated to be about $350,000. The other minor action taken was loosening ethics rules, specifically by easing how many employees must annually file fiscal disclosure forms. Morris wrote an article in the Chronicle, slated for publication Thursday, dealing with this in greater detail. The only specific facet of any importance is that while elected officials, their personal staff and department directors were previously required to file disclosures, this has now been changed to simply the officials, their top staff and department directors.
The third major unanimous action was giving a tax break to developers who raze blighted property. I talked about this issue somewhat at length a few weeks ago. As I noted back then, the new law has the following conditions: “To qualify as ‘blighted,’ building in question would have to be ordered by the Building and Standards Commission. In an impoverished neighborhood, up to 90% of the property tax bill could be written off, according to the Chronicle article. In non-impoverished neighborhoods, it would be half the bill.”
Next, the Council waged a bitter fight over affordable housing. Jayme Fraser at the Houston Chronicle wrote on this topic at length this morning, specifically regarding Councilmember Brenda Stardig’s take on the matter. A non-profit known as The Women’s House wants to build family-centric affordable housing (read: Apartments) within Spring Branch, smack in the middle of Stardig’s constituency. Stardig, speaking on behalf of a concern from many of her constituents, is speaking in opposition to this project for fears of transient communities in the otherwise pleasant community.
As it turned out, the Council passed the tax credit to build the housing 12-5, with Stardig voting no. Joining her were Councilmembers Robert Gallegos, Michael Kubosh, Mike Laster and Oliver Pennington. As Fraser noted in her after-the-fact analysis of the vote in the Chronicle, Mayor Annise Parker thoroughly pushed this vote after the Women’s House agreed to give a quote of rooms at the apartment complex to “homeless women with children.” This was noted as “a key need in Parker’s efforts to end chronic homelessness by providing permanent supportive housing.” Stardig agreed to work with the group and cooperate going forward on project, adding “It’s a struggle between what’s in people’s hearts and the long term vision for the district.”
Last, but certainly not least, the City rewrote the “dog code,” the complex set of regulations governing animal control. I wrote about this at length yesterday, and it namely revolves around three main adjustments. First, it has become easier for the pound (BARC) to deem a dog aggressive. Second, large groups of dogs must be located somewhat far from other homes. But the most contentious provision of this ordinance is allowing BARC to take legal ownership of a dog after either 3 or 6 days, instead of today’s 30 day limit. This provision is specifically what drew the rebuke of Councilmember C.O. Bradford and caused him to vote against the ordinance, the only to do so. However, when he previously attempted to amend the bill to remove this part, Councilmember Jack Christie joined him.
“Since I’ve been on Council, voters appreciate the consistency that I try to demonstrate,” Bradford told me today after the vote. “I’m a firm believer in private property rights.” Specifically, Bradford believes it is wrong for the City to take the property (read: Dogs) of Houstonians in such a short amount of time.
“I think that’s fundamentally wrong,” Bradford said of the change, though he noted that everything else in the bill was good, adding “I think it was otherwise a great piece of work” and “I think the word that BARC did is wonderful work.”
I definitely understand the points Bradford make, and the law is probably on his side. In fact, Bradford expects a challenge to this provision of the ordinance, saying “I think the City will lose this in court.” That being said, he lost me a little when he compared a dog –a sentient being– to a towed car as simply property. Perhaps, as the Houston Press noted, this very special and unique property deserves a very special and unique law. That being said, there are valid arguments on both sides.

ew survey of young Americans aged 13 to 20 years old (also known, in marketing-speak, as “Generation Z“) has found that they are far more open-minded and permissive than their older millennial counterparts when it comes to issues of gender and sexuality.
According to a report by trend forecasting agency J. Walter Thompson Innovation Group, only 48 percent of Gen Zs identify as exclusively heterosexual, compared to 65 percent of millennials aged 21 to 34.
On a scale of zero to six, where zero signified “completely straight” and six meant “completely homosexual,” more than a third of the young demographic chose a number between one and five, indicating that they were bisexual to some degree. Only 24 percent of their older counterparts identified this way.

1999 Kim Walker 000 East Indian/Sitka
SOLDAdd to Compare
Kim Walker is a heavy hitter we get incredibly excited about around the Dream Guitars shop. Kim is known for his vintage style guitars with an incredible pre war tone. Kim is a living legend in the Lutherie community, his guitars are as close to perfect as any human is likely to get. This 000 is made with premium East Indian Rosewood and one of the finest sets of Sitka Spruce we have encountered to date. We stopped counting grain lines when we were 200 years in and had gone less than 3.5″ across the top. The silking in this top is practically luminescent, shimmering uniformly across the board. Every detail on this piece is flawlessly executed and Kim even mixes his own varnish recipe for some of the finest finish you’ll ever see on a guitar… ever.
While looks and reputation are important, it’s truly the voice of this thing that sets it apart from the rest and just might shatter your preconceptions of what a good guitar is. It has a warmth and brilliance to it that fascinates and draws you into its sound. It is exceptionally rare to find such a balanced tone, one where every string has a full bodied voice. It’s a pleasure to listen to, even when plucking a single note and just letting it ring. But when you play the strings together, this Walker sounds heavenly, with a ringing chorus of tone that emanates from the sound hole whenever you strike a chord. This is a guitar from one of the big boys, and it lives up to its reputation.
|Scale Length||25.4 in|
|Nut Width||1.78 in|
|String Spacing||2.17 in|
|Woods||Spruce - Sitka, Rosewood - Indian|
