How did your open house viewings go this last week? Heaven or hell? Sublime or subpar? Share your open house experiences!
As a guide, include the following for each Hoom (where applicable):
- Zillow or Redfin Link
- How many people were in attendance
- How the condition of the property matched the condition in the listing
- Interactions with other buyers
- Agent/Seller interactions
What's the word on the street? Share your questions, comments, and concerns below.
Yes you are. Houses are not investments. They were never meant to be. There's been a sentiment in the last few decades that houses are an investment and its been true in a sense because interest rates have trended downward, making the previous purchaser a a lot richer in a nominal and sometimes in a real way, but this is not a paradigm that will last. It is unsustainable. Rates have to go back up and they will. A functioning society can't survive on low rates forever. Going forward you will at best break even on a home or maybe make a little extra in a nominal sense. Your home is a utility, not an investment. In a real monetary environment, it doesn't grow in value because it doesn't produce further value beyond the utility you derive. Don't believe that "population growth" or "no more land" bs. If the economy stays as messed up as it currently is, population will begin dropping in no time and we all know "no more land" is bs cus people will move to other places if and when it makes more sense. In short, your house is not an investment. Stop looking at it as a money maker. If when you sell you make back what you paid, you're still in the green cus you derived utility from it. Peace yalls
Anyone can start a side hustle. Teaching other people how to start side hustles. Then you can afford to buy a hoom!
Hoomer trolls are bombarding this subreddit because they see the writing on the wall. One of the arguments they make to get us to buy is it would have been better to buy at the peak while interest rates were low. Now, as we all know, the market is crashing through the United States because the Fed believes there is a bubble.
Although hoomers do have a point that the monthly payments are significantly higher and down payments got wiped out by inflation. A simple solution is to put your down payment cash into T-Bills which have short terms (I got a 6 week deal) and good rates (I got 4%). The risk is basically zero because the Fed money prints the interest. Most brokerages have the ability to buy T-Bills, and you can even buy them direct from the Fed.
Stay strong fellow bubblers. We are all going to make it.
I wonder her client reaction after finding out they lost all their downpayment and more ($110k loss). And next year it will be from 650k => to 540k => 430k lol
And it's funny she ends it with "look at the equity"...you have no equity if your house is under the water. that's why you don't listen to real estate agents. Because for them, it is always a good time to buy.
The fed did a lot of QE. Now they are dealing with inflation by keeping interest rates high. Due to the size of the US debt this is very expensive. There is a much cheaper way for them to accomplish the same goal: selling their mortgage-backed securities.
Specifically, they could un-print all of this real estate equity appreciation very quickly: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OEHRENWBSHNO
This would send mortgage rates to the sky and real estate into the dirt. The fed currently holds 2.65 trillion in MBS: https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/current/h41.htm#h41tab1
Here is an article from mid-2022 to give you an idea of how much that really is:
Since March 2020, as part of its "quantitative easing" process the Federal Reserve purchased more than $1.3 trillion in mortgage-backed securities, bringing its total MBS holdings to $2.7 trillion. Those holdings represent more than 38% of the amount outstanding of the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Index.
They haven’t really been selling them. In fact, they never finished selling the MBS from 2008: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WSHOMCB
The fed owns ~40 percent of that whole market. Forty percent. Somebody, please prove me wrong here. Show me that the bloomberg MBS index is somehow only a small fraction of the MBS market. Because if it’s not, that means the fed is sitting on a stockpile of financial nuclear weapons while losing a ground war against inflation. It means that every person that buys or owns real estate is sitting on a rug that the fed could pull at any time and at any speed the fed deems appropriate.
If the fed needs to “break the back” of inflation with a shock (like Volcker did) they can’t do it with the fed funds rate. The national debt is too high. They would use their MBS. The market for MBS is thin, and already went no-bid once. It’s an easy target. If a whale like the fed started selling, they would crash it immediately. And they have enough MBS on their balance sheet to keep it down for years.
Just imagine what would happen to real estate prices if there was a prolonged shortage of banks willing (or even able) to give out mortgages.
It's a story few could have foreseen... If you see "date the rate" or "I can always refinance" online, share this* clip starting at 3:31 from The Big Short
Does anyone remember the awesome website with all the national and regional data created by a Redditor in San Diego? Can’t find the post now.
It's a story few could have foreseen... How are people denying housing crash? People are losing their jobs and can’t afford their mortgages…
Local property records confirm that AH4R is liquidating some homes.
It's a massive company with about 58000 single family homes in Sept 2022.
This is the same company that was buying up homes in the last few years helping to inflate the bubble by sometimes offering 50K or more above asking.
As another commenter under the video pointed out, I think what is happening is a liquidation call from an investor pool who raised funds awhile back and wants out now as they see the market turning. These kind of companies are comprised of a large pool of investors segregated into pools hence why in the video there are similar names in subsidiaries, it's maybe a way to separate those initial pools of capital.
Based on current circumstances, a pool payout is likely as being able to take $350k out on one house and putting it in a 5% 1yr treasury will bring cash flow over $1000 per month
A year ago, I tried to purchase a house and needed 500k at least. and the inventory was super low.
Why is everybody selling now?
Where will demand for US housing come from in the future, will there be any future price appreciation? [Long recap of stuff I've picked up from housing experts] [TL;DR US housing prices are going to stagnate, possibly fall permanently like they have in Japan in the coming decades]
I've been watching a ton of interviews / analysis from various sources including Ivy Zelman and they're all skeptical that the US housing market is even in a deficit like the Gov agencies and various real estate firms project. I'll provide a few figures why they think that the US housing could be heading for a permanent slowdown barring mass immigration / foreign capital investment from wealthy nations or some other major unforeseen intervention in the housing market going forward:
1.) The working age population, aka those that can purchase a house, has not grown since roughly 2017 and doesn't appear to be recovering: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LFWA64TTUSM647S ... to compound that the labor force participation rate continues to drop recently, so only roughly 60% (roughly 130 million) of these people even have jobs/income: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART
2) There's the largest backlog in units under construction to date (nearly two million units) and supply chains have eased, meaning it's all going to be completed relatively quickly: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNDCONTSA
3) Baby boomers and the silent generation (all 55+) own 54% of all US housing, leading to a lopsided market that will steadily release a massive amount of inventory over time along with new construction: https://constructioncoverage.com/research/baby-boomer-dominant-housing-markets-2020
4) Even if rates reach zero percent roughly 25% of the market is locked in at sub-3%. According to New Home Trends over 60% of people surveyed said they would never buy again if rates were above 5%, which they could be for some time due to inflation. For rates to reach that again in non-pandemic times the Fed Funds rate would have to be negative... https://www.ksl.com/article/50474081/us-housing-slump-is-here-to-stay-what-does-that-mean-for-utah-the-west
5) Most of the United States has a shrinking population, again with no clear recovery in sight. If remote work can continue to gain traction in the future people won't compete over real estate and move to cheaper desirable areas. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Percent_Change_in_County_Population-_2010_to_2020.png
This also doesn't account for shadow inventory like Air BnB that could drastically switch available units in a real economic downturn due to their income driven nature / non-sentimental owners who don't care to dump them. The same goes for foreclosures in any real economic downturn.
With the demographic issues the US is facing and the inventory numbers I think housing isn't going to be a good investment in 10+ years. I'd love to be wrong but I think housing is approaching a scenario Japan reached in the 1990s when their central bank toyed with ZIRP (zero interest rate policies). It created a permanent housing slump due to stalled interest rates at the zero bound and lack of home appreciation due to demographic headwinds leading to three decades now of lost growth.
I say this all to say: housing does not look like a proper investment outside of a very few major metros in the US, it's a roof over your head. Buy when you feel right, but it's not going to have the same decade over decade appreciation that was enjoyed by Baby Boomers.
The only alternative take I've seen to this is this extremely counter-intuitive scenario where both population shrinks and housing prices go up: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-12-31/u-s-housing-crisis-will-only-get-worse-as-the-population-shrinks?leadSource=uverify%20wall ... But that's a far fetched notion that goes against supply / demand fundamentals.
The house requires significant amount of (aesthetic) work including windows, kitchen and bathroom cabinets snd countertops, paint (2000 sq ft), furnace replacement any minute, hvac replacement possible, roof expiring within the next 3 years etc. we are not getting discounted price either but it is a house that is sufficient for the next 8-10 years. Are we buying a moneypit?
I was ready to purchase in 2020 then the pandemic happened, rates went to a ridiculous level and prices went through the roof. I refused to buy because no way in hell was I going to pay more than asking for a place to sleep at night so I decided to wait. After nearly 3 years I bought and I intentionally did it in Nov-Dec because I know that's when things are the slowest. I was actually able to afford more house 3 years later and boy oh boy I tried taking the sellers ass. I was able to get $25k off asking and $19k in seller concessions. I was able to buy my rate to 4.8 with their money. I did this in the DFW market where home prices are still going up. Whenever you buy please make these sellers feel it

Today, barriers and barricades are largely used interchangeably. In reality, they do serve different purposes. A crowd control barricade is intended to physically stop or hinder the flow of pedestrian traffic. Think of protester situations where steel barricades are utilized to keep protestors contained within designated areas. Or barricades used to protect a parade route from pedestrian traffic.
Crowd control barriers, on the other hand, can act as more of a mental barrier. Belt stanchions are a popular form of crowd control barrier that would never hinder anyone from a given area, its more of a way to ask pedestrians to remain orderly and show them how they are intended to act in the crowd.

SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific Coast salmon fishermen are gearing up for what”s predicted to be a robust fishing season after enduring restrictions and closures in the past few years of precipitous salmon declines off the California coast.
On Wednesday, federal regulators outlined three scenarios for commercial and sport salmon fishing along the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington starting this spring.
All three options proposed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council allow for more king salmon fishing than West Coast fishermen have had in years.
While significant fishing is predicted off the coasts of Washington and northern Oregon, Pacific Council Chairman Mark Cedergreen issued more guarded comments about the rebound off Northern California of king salmon — also known as Chinook.
“While we will have significant ocean seasons off Washington and northern Oregon, we still have some conservation solutions to work on for the salmon stocks in this area,” Cedergreen said.
Fishery biologists are reporting a big increase in the population of Pacific Ocean salmon after several lean years where the salmon”s population plummeted, prompting regulators to cancel or severely restrict Chinook fishing off the Northern California coast.
In 2009, some 122,000 of the fish were predicted to return to the Sacramento River, but that proved inaccurate. Instead, a record-low 39,500 Chinook returned, down from more than 750,000 counted in 2002.
The news boosted the spirits of commercial and recreational fishermen, as well as other fishing-related businesses who have suffered in recent years.
“The boat owners and their crews, tackle businesses and their employees, boat yards and their workers, and others who serve these anglers are eager to get back to work and restore this important segment of our economy,” said Marc Gorelnik, director of the Coastside Fishing Club, a recreational fishing group.
Salmon are born in freshwater, where they mature and grow strong before heading out to sea to continue developing. Once ready to spawn, the fish swim head back up freshwater rivers to lay their eggs.
Fisherman and conservation groups say the fish decline is due to the massive pumps that move water around to California”s thirsty cities and farmland. They say the pumps block access to important routes the fish need for spawning, or kill them outright by crushing them.
Others say ocean changes due to greenhouse gas pollution also are producing less food for the fish, leading to declines.
In 2008, a federal judge imposed restrictions on pumping to protect salmon and another endangered fish — the Delta smelt. Those restrictions were again imposed in 2009.
“This year”s adult salmon in the ocean would have been the first to begin benefiting from these,” said Zeke Grader, president of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen”s Association, a commercial fishing industry group. “This helps explain the uptick this year in the numbers and should help us with the natural spawners.”
Another factor in the rebound is a program where smolts, or young salmon, are loaded in trucks and driven around the delta pumps to continue their journey.
Tags used to track these trucked smolts have shown that much of the salmon is a result of this program, yet fishermen say they would like to see more natural fish making their way through the delta”s complicated labyrinth.
“While the survival of the trucked fish is encouraging, this is not a long-term solution, since we need to see natural spawners in the mix,” Grader said.
The council has scheduled hearings to determine which option to recommend in April to the National Marine Fisheries Service, which usually adopts the council”s final recommendation.

Destiny 2 is about to get its third major update in the game’s fourth year. Season of the Lost has, until now, been shrouded in mystery. But while we now have some idea what to expect from the upcoming Season 15, there are still plenty of questions remaining.
Most previous seasons are teased well in advance, with major reveals in the weeks before they go live. But Season of the Lot is a little different. The full reveal is coming just one hour before Season of the Lost is launched – with details of the new expansion, The Witch Queen.
This means that a lot of what we can expect remains a mystery – especially how Mara Sov is returning. But we do know a few things:
Destiny 2 Season of the Lost release date – when can I play it?
The official release date for Destiny 2 Season of the Lost is August 24, 2021. It will be available at the usual weekly reset time, which is as follows:
- UK: 6pm BST
- Europe: 7pm CEST
- East Coast US: 1pm EDT
- West Coast US: 10am PDT
Destiny 2 will experience some downtime to accommodate the update – around 1 hour and 15 minutes before the weekly reset times above. Update 3.3.0 (and the Season of the Lost) will then be live once the weekly reset comes around.
As soon as you’ve downloaded the patch, you’ll be able to jump straight in. But as always, expect server issues as everyone dives headfirst into the new season.
Destiny 2 Season of the Lost official reveal – when is it?
Before Season of the Lost goes live, there’s going to be an official reveal from Bungie – about one hour before the weekly reset times listed above. This will give us a much better idea of what to expect from Season 15 as well as our first look at The Witch Queen, the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion.
The official reveal will come at the following times:
- UK: 5pm BST
- Europe: 6pm CEST
- East Coast US: Noon EDT
- West Coast US: 9am PDT
At this point, we should have a much clearer idea of how Mara Sov fits into things.
Destiny 2 Season of the Lost – what we know so far
Season of the Lost is shrouded in mystery, with details few and far between. We do know that this season will follow a similar launch to last year’s Season of the Arrivals which tied heavily into the Beyond Light expansion.
This time, Season of the Lost will tie into the upcoming expansion, The Witch Queen.
And while there are lots of questions about how all this will pan out, there are a few things we know are coming up…
- Mara Sov is back: The Awoken queen has been missing since her ‘death’ in the original Destiny but was heavily involved with Forsaken and the Dreaming City. It’s likely that her reintroduction will play into The Witch Queen expansion. But how that happens remains to be seen.
- Destiny 2 crossplay is coming: This will debut “early” in the season, allowing Destiny 2 players to team up with their friends on other platforms. Exactly when this is going to launch remains to be seen, but it’s definitely on its way in Season 15.
- A new ritual quest weapon will be added – a rocket launcher with the Explosive Light perk. As per previous seasons, once unlocked there will also be quests for Crucible, Gambit and Strike themed ornaments.
- BattlEye anti-cheat systems will be soft launched during Season 15, making it far more difficult for Destiny 2
- As well as a bunch of new weapons and Iron banner armour, Destiny 2 is also getting some weapons changes in Season 15.
There’s certainly a lot to look forward to in Destiny 2 Season of the Lost – but we’ll find out more about what’s to come on August 24.

We recently bought this piano for our 5 year old granddaughter as a Christmas present. It looks special and has a nice tone. She loves playing it, and we hope that it will inspire a life-long love of piano playing.

As skilled nursing operators battle to elevate their place on the priority list for personal protective equipment (PPE) and other resources to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, they have to combat the forces of supply and demand that have ravaged health care facilities across the world.
This includes problems with prices skyrocketing and supplies plummeting, as well as backlogs in shipping.
SNFs’ struggles to secure supplies — of both PPE and testing for COVID-19 have been top of mind for the Society for Healthcare Organization Procurement Professionals (SHOPP), which has released analyses related to this issue.
In a webinar that the society held on Wednesday, leaders from various stakeholders in the industry discussed the situation on the ground in terms of securing supplies, and offered some key tips for operators trying to secure the right materials.
Check for updates
No matter how operators have chosen to try to secure their PPE and testing supplies, they need to remember to stay on top of the order and ask for updates, Michael Greenfield, the CEO of Prime Source Healthcare Solutions and one of the co-founders of SHOPP, said on the webinar.
“Everyone needs to pay attention, to figure out how to lower the cost,” he argued. “You should buy smart when it comes to getting your products here. You should every day ask your reps from your manufacturers and distributors what products are available, because allocation of products [is] becoming daily available.”
Greenfield specifically cited TwinMed, which he described being “forward-thinking” on reusable gowns; Medline Industries, which is starting to manufacture PPE items in the U.S.; McKesson; Henry Schein; and Owens & Minor as companies doing what they can. SNFs have to be in touch with their local representatives first and foremost on what is available, Greenfield stressed.
Go directly to the seller — and gear up
The next step is to deal with the sellers directly and preparing as much as possible — because the instant a COVID-19 case is discovered in a facility, that entire facility has to be equipped with gear “within two hours or they will literally exit every resident from your facility, and that is a crisis in and of itself,” Greenfield said.
The shortage of PPE creates a massive problem on many levels, but that makes it all the more imperative to prepare early, even if no case has been identified.
The fact that the coronavirus can spread and cause infections while carriers are asymptomatic was identified as a major cause of the spread in a SNF in the state of Washington, and that potential for rapid transmission makes it essential to have enough equipment to keep both residents and staff safe.
“[If you are] one of the fortunate ones that have not yet been hit, get ready,” Greenfield said bluntly. “You will be hit. It is a state of emergency. You need to be aware that if you are going to wait for the epidemic to hit you, it’ll hit you really, really hard.”
Vet products — and sellers — carefully
In the current environment, it’s now the expectation to provide cash now with delivery later – an unheard-of situation, according to Greenfield. That means post-acute providers have to wire money to product owners before a shipment goes out.
This makes vetting of the product essential to avoid becoming a victim to scams, he said on the webinar. Operators should check and count boxes to make sure that no products are missing.
If SNF operators choose to import, they have to check for reputable sellers. If possible, they should use companies that allow for a 25% deposit and let the money be put in escrow, and they have to try to account for order fulfillment as well, Greenfield noted.
The number of things that could go wrong range from the government seizing the shipment to the seller being less than truthful. That means engaging with companies bringing the products in from China, he advised.
And in any case, SNFs have to make sure that whatever they buy is actually appropriate to use — and is present in the packaging.
“Items need to be weighed, and you need to have it verified from the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s] website,” Greenfield stressed. “It’s really, really important for products that are on the ground to be verified, and deal with the distributors themselves — even if a broker takes a cut.”

This picturesque Gothic Revival style building executed in wood is St. Peter's second church. Built in 1849-51, the current structure replaced a smaller church built on this site in 1756-1759. The design of the new church departed from traditional church architecture in America, influenced instead by the form of medieval English churches and the Gothic Revival style. Although usually executed in stone or brick, some church construction took advantage of the availability of lumber in this country to create a less expensive adaptation of the Gothic Revival style in wood, called "Carpenter" Gothic.
St. Peter's second and current church was designed by English-born architect Frank Wills (1822-1857).
After establishing his practice in America, Wills helped found the New York Ecclesiological Society that promoted ancient Gothic English churches as prototypes for American parish churches of the day. Constructed as a frame, board-and-batten-clad building of the Carpenter Gothic style, St Peter's was one of twenty-four churches Wills designed. The cornerstone was laid in September 1849, but limited funding delayed the building's use until November 1851.
The church was enlarged in 1896 with the addition of the organ chamber and baptistery as two wings forming east and west transepts, ad then again in 1908 with the sacristy in the
southeast corner and an organ loft against the north wall. In 1928, the church suffered a serious fire that destroyed much of the organ chamber and chancel area. St. Peter's was subsequently restored, and survives as one of the earliest examples of the Carpenter Gothic style in New Jersey.

I don’t talk about it very much, but for those of you who knew me in high school and college, you knew me as a much larger person. In my mid-20s I managed to lose over 60 pounds (not all at once, but slowly through diet and exercise). Although I’ve been able to maintain a relatively healthy weight since then, I’ve had periods of time where I’m a bit heavier than I’d like. Since I’ve successfully lost weight in the past, I considered myself pretty savvy when it came to how to eat healthier. However, doing Jenny Craig taught me some things I didn’t expect. Here are the five things I learned about how to eat healthier.
1. Plan Your Meals Ahead
Meal planning isn’t just convenient, it also ensures you waste less food and you’re more likely to eat healthier. When I don’t have a plan in place I tend to rely on fast food and other convenience foods that aren’t nearly as healthy as if I plan and cook for myself. A great tip is to cook a lot of your foods on Sunday afternoon/evening. That way, you can pre-portion meals for the week. I often will roast a bunch of veggies on Sundays and also cook a load of chicken that I can use in a bunch of different dishes throughout the week. If you’re looking for meal plans, there are tons of weekly (and even monthly) meal plans on websites like Pinterest. If you’re following paleo, low-carb, high-carb, low-fat, you name it, you can find meal plans to help you get your meals planned for the week.
2. Use a Salad Plate
Prior to starting Jenny Craig, I was sure my portions were in check. Man, was I wrong! I knew the rule that your plate should be 1/2 veggies, 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbs, but I was basing that off of a dinner plate. You guys, that’s just way too much food!
Very early on in the program, my consultant suggested I start eating from a salad plate. She also suggested I take the food out of the plastic container and place it on a salad plate. I’ve followed that advice from very early on and I’m so glad I did. My portions were way too large. Compared to what I was used to eating, I was very surprised at how small the protein portions were. Generally, I don’t eat a ton of carbs, so that wasn’t nearly as surprising to me. I quickly learned that even with healthy foods, I’ve been eating too large of portions. Using a salad plate was a great way for me to see how much food I actually need to feel satiated. I don’t even use my dinner plates anymore.
3. Allow Yourself A Treat
One of the things I like most about Jenny Craig is the fact that their meal plans incorporate all kinds of foods, even treats like cookies and cupcakes. In the past when I’ve gone on a diet, I considered baked-goods off-limits. I’ve found that when I make a food off-limits, all I want is that food. By not allowing myself to have certain foods, I’ve given the food a lot of power. I was placing way too much value on foods as bad or good.
With Jenny, I started to let go of those bad vs. good food labels. I also never felt deprived because I knew I was going to get a dessert every night. I’ve learned that I can have a treat every night. It just needs to be a small one. Most of the Jenny desserts are approximately 150 calories, which gives me the sweetness I crave without all the calories. Being serious about losing weight doesn’t mean you have to give up enjoying the foods you love.
4. Acknowledge Non-Scale Victories
When I’ve dieted in the past, I’ve fixated on the scale. It’s hard not to. But I also know that getting healthy is about way more than just the number on the scale. I’ve tried really hard to celebrate non-scale victories. For example, I’ve praised myself for reaching my gym goals for the week or for passing up treats my coworkers bring to the office. It’s the little victories I’ve tried to appreciate rather than just fixating on the weight loss.
I’m most proud of the fact that even when I’ve gone off the plan for a couple days because of work events and travel, I was able to get right back on and was still able to lose weight. In the past, when I’ve gone off my eating plan, I would sometimes go way off my plan to the point of quitting altogether. Jenny made it easy not to quit because everything was there for you, the food, and the support system. Jenny Craig really is the easiest weight-loss program I’ve ever tried.
5. Visualize Your Success
Another thing I liked about Jenny was having a dedicated consultant to talk to each week. It was fun to get to know her and it was a relief to feel comfortable going there each week. Weight loss is really personal and it would be hard if you didn’t feel comfortable with the experience.
One of the things I loved about weighing in each week was the way they helped me to visualize my success. They had these two little metal containers with little glass pebbles in them. Each time I lost a pound, I placed a pebble into the other container. Over the course of eight weeks, I lost 11 pounds* and it was pretty cool to see that number in pebbles in my hand.
They had other ways to help me to visualize my success. For example, they had two reams of printer paper stacked together, tied with a ribbon. For some reason, 10 pounds doesn’t feel like a lot of weight loss. That is, until you lift up those two reams of paper! Ten pounds is actually a lot of weight. I started to feel better about my accomplishment once I lifted up those stacks of paper.
Overall, I had a good experience with Jenny Craig. It taught me these five tips for how to eat healthier that helped me lose weight and feel good. If you’ve heard of Jenny but never tried it, I would definitely suggest it. It is the perfect diet for anyone who likes a simple, straight-forward plan. If you’re a super busy mom or don’t like to cook, this plan is for you. Not having to plan or cook made this plan a breeze. I even lost 11 pounds in the process.
*Results not typical. Members following the Jenny Craig program, on average, lose 1-2 lbs. per week. I received promotional consideration.

As a rule, the physician fully realizes his obligation as a citizen to take an active interest in the affairs of the community, particularly so far as they concern matters of public health. In the smaller cities and rural districts the doctor naturally finds his influence larger than can be the case in more metropolitan communities, and his responsibility is, therefore, proportionately increased. It is not uncommon to find the physician taking an active part in politics, but the recent election in New Jersey furnished an unusual instance of political activity among the members of the medical profession. No less than seven cities of that state, namely, Paterson, Trenton, Atlantic Highlands, Summit, Rahway, Frenchtown, and Washington, elected physicians as mayors. Evidently the people of New Jersey propose to safeguard their health if it can be done by choosing experts in this line to execute their laws.

New Delhi: India will have independent control of Chahbahar port in Iran from next month following an agreement between the Iranian Roads and Urban Development Minister Abbas Ahmad Akhoundi and his Indian counterpart on Thursday.
“The pact that the ministry has signed with the Iranian government will give us freedom to operate the port independently,” an official from Ministry of Road Transport and Highways Ministry.
The officials comments was followed by a message by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, on Twitter.
"Met Mr. Abbas Akhoundi, Hon'ble Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Iran. We discussed about progress of Chabahar port development & issues related to bilateral cooperation", Gadkari wrote on Twitter.
The Chabahar port is easily accessible from India's western coast and is increasingly seen as a counter to Pakistan's Gwadar Port located at distance of around 80 kms from Chabahar.
According to other reports, an Iranian delegation is operating behind the scenes in in Delhi to work out a payment mechanism for the strategically important Chabahar port. Discussions are underway to rope in UCO Bank and Bank Pasargad for a payment mechanism that will help circumvent US-driven sanctions against Iran.
"Indian side had investment in Chabahar port and we are moving towards utilisation of the Chabahar port," Mr Akhoundi said, adding that the handing over of the port should be done "during one month. We have done everything".
The first phase of the Chabahar port was inaugurated in December 2017 by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, opening a new strategic route connecting Iran, India and Afghanistan bypassing Pakistan.
The Chabahar port is being considered as a gateway to golden opportunities for trade by India, Iran and Afghanistan with central Asian countries, besides ramping up trade among the three countries in the wake of Pakistan denying transit access to New Delhi.
"The routes of the region should be connected on land, sea and air," Hassan Rouhani had said at the inauguration ceremony.

ARSENAL's Manager, Mikel Arteta has responded to questions on why he substituted Bukayo Saka in the goalless draw against Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.
The Gunners held on as they ensured they left City’s home ground with a point in yesterday's game, but Bukayo Saka was unable to finish the game as he was substituted in the 78th minute, which raised questions on whether the player was injured.
Mikel Arteta speaking after the 0-0 draw assured that the player was not injured, but instead was feeling fatigued as he only trained one day before the match.
“Nothing serious. As you know, he has been out for a few weeks now with a little problem.
“He was feeling fatigued. He only trained one day before the match. He had a big contribution, but it was a lot, 90 minutes for him today,” Arteta said.
The Gunners are now second in the league with two points behind league leaders, Liverpool and would need to return to winning ways when they play Luton on Wednesday to put pressure on the Reds.

Sometimes game developers do a good job with several titles, which is how a franchise is born. There are several such franchises available and they will have lots of fans. They are far from done as new titles are being released.
The world of entertainment is filled with examples of franchises. For example, there are TV shows that span seasons and inspire new ones.
The world of iGaming has franchises of games too. Most of them are slots and they offer the same character in a different setting with a variety of features. Casino fans can click here and explore the variety of options the iGaming industry has to offer.
However, the world of gaming also has its fair share of franchises. In that regard, here are some franchises that have a good track record:
The Fallout Franchise
The Fallout franchise is a potential post-apocalyptic future after a nuke is dropped in the US. You’ll get to look for parts to make weapons and armor, fight various factions and ally yourself with others. New Vegas even lets you visit Vegas in the grim future and gives you 6 casinos to play it so you can earn some gear and special treatment if you’re lucky enough.
Vegas is doing pretty good today and the casino industry is mostly online. The casinos in the game will give you access to gear such as armor and clothes and even weapon ammo, but they’ll also give you drinks and food. The special treatment will come down to a key to one of the suites in the complex. In other words, all the prizes are ones you can use in the game.
Fallout has several titles to offer and all of them are packed with good stories. You’ll get to face mutants and other warring factions and spend bottle caps as currency. It’s a franchise that will continue to thrive in the future.
The Assassin’s Creed Franchise
History is filled with turmoil and factions at each others’ throats but none of them are like the Templars and Assassins that have been at it for centuries. This lovely franchise will take you through the Crusades, Renaissance, Ancient Egypt, The Liberation of America, the Seven Years’ War, and much more. You’ll meet iconic characters such as Altair, Ezio, Connor, and even Haytham, Bayek in Origins, and Eivor in Valhalla. You’ll play as Assassins and Templars and see what makes these factions differ.
Moreover, you’ll get to climb every building you set your eyes on and fight for a worthy cause. In the end, you’ll put your stock with one of the 2 factions. Whichever you go for, you’re bound to have fun with this franchise. It’s not going away anytime soon as there’s another title in the making and its title is Rift, so you might want to keep an eye out for it.
The Resident Evil Franchise
Shooting zombies have been popular forever, which is why the Resident Evil franchise is a great franchise. You’ll get a virus outbreak that turns people into brain-munching creatures and your job is to stop the outbreak from spreading and shoot your way through the zombies to do so. You’ll start in the Spencer mansion then you’ll be taken to Raccoon City during the height of the outbreak and its beginning. You’ll play Chris, Jill, Leon, and Claire in the several titles this franchise offers. The story is pretty good and you’ve even got remakes of the first 3 games that make the franchise even better.
The Dragon Age Franchise
As you might have guessed from the name, this is a fantasy franchise and it’s currently made up of 3 titles. The first one is called Dragon Age Origins and it guides you on the way to becoming a Grey Warden and helping a king defeat the Dark Spawn. But things don’t always go as planned because the king is betrayed and you’ll barely make it out alive.
In the second game, you’re taken to Kirkwall where you’ll spark a Mage Rebellion to save them, and finally, in the third one, called Inquisition, you’ll be put in charge of it as you’ll be the only person that has the power to close the rifts and destroy the monsters coming from the nether world.
All 3 games will give you different starting points depending on the class and race you choose. You can be a rogue, mage, or warrior and play the game as either class. Dialogue also plays an important role as you’ll certain options will give you additional consequences. You can try them out one by one in order or go for the one that seems most suitable to you.
The Mass Effect Franchise
This is another sci-fi franchise, and it just so happens that this and the previous one are made by the same company. In other words, BioWare is responsible for both of them. But Mass Effect is set in space and it relies on the mass effect relays that helped propel humanity into the future and expose them to aliens. Nowadays, they are living together and are looking to continue to do so in harmony.
However, some aliens aren’t that friendly and are looking to wipe out entire civilizations which is why you, in the role of Commander Shepherd, will do your best to stop them. You won’t be alone in the process as you’ll meet all sorts of people and aliens along the way and some of them will stick around and become your companions.
In the end, you’ll defeat the evildoers as is often the casino in these games, but at a steep price. It also has interesting dialogue options that can take the game in multiple directions. Finally, it’s a classic sci-fi franchise that both RPG and sci-fi fans adore. So, you might as well join the club if you’re looking for something new to play.

Plant and Soil Sciences
The Department of Plant and Soil Sciences conducts research related to major agronomic crops, including cotton breeding and genetic improvements, row crops, soil microbiology and ecology, and the impact of environmental factors on plants and soils. Additional research is focused on new and existing herbicide and weed control management strategies in ornamental and row-cropping systems. Scientists also work in floriculture and ornamental horticulture, including landscape performance, production and propagation of nursery crops. Other scientists study management and eradication of aquatic and invasive weeds.

Soybean Innovation Laboratory
The Soybean Innovation Laboratory provides the science necessary to enable small producers to share in the rising demand for soybeans. The research also will enable low-resource countries to address problems of food insecurity and protein malnutrition. Mississippi State University's Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station is among a consortium of universities and other partners receiving a $25 million, five-year international grant to boost soybean production across Africa. Mississippi State University is among a consortium of universities and other partners receiving a $25 million, five-year international grant to boost soybean production across Africa. The Feed the Future Innovation Laboratory for Soybean Value Chain Research, also known as the Soybean Innovation Laboratory (SIL), is being funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Seeds of hope
George Awuni understands food insecurity firsthand. A native of Ghana, in sub-Saharan Africa, Awuni has seen what the scarcity of food does to a community and a nation. He has known hunger and, even though, his mother worked to provide for the family, there were times when Awuni went to bed on an empty stomach. As a post-doctoral researcher in the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, Awuni, along with Dan Reynolds, the Edgar E. and Winifred B. Hartwig Endowed Chair in Soybean Agronomy, is working to enable small-scale Ghanaian farmers to share in the rising demand for soybeans in Ghana. The research includes collaboration between five institutions of higher learning and 10 governmental and non-governmental research partners.
Heed change, take root
The anticipated climate change will increasingly impact crop production and food security in the coming years. K. Raja Reddy, Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station scientist and research professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, studies how environmental stressors impact crops. As director of the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere-Research, or SPAR, facility at MSU, Reddy focuses on environmental plant physiology, evaluating factors such as temperature, drought, solar radiation and nutrients. He studies a variety of crops including corn rice, soybeans, cotton, sweet potatoes, peppers and biofuel crops. The research, much of which is funded by the corn, soybean, rice and cotton promotion boards, focuses on giving producers the tools they need in a changing climate. As scientists evaluate hybrid tolerance to such environmental stressors as heat and drought, their research helps producers select the ideal variety based on tolerance and yield potential for that particular location. As climate changes, Reddy hopes to continue to provide information that will optimize production while minimizing loss to environmental stressors in the field.
MSU scientists research essential tools and best practices to improve irrigation in the field. Pipe Hole and Universal Crown Evaluation Tool, or PHAUCET, surge valves and soil moisture sensors are three essential tools recommended by Jason Krutz, MAFES researcher and Extension irrigation specialist. PHAUCET is a computerized program that calculates the correct hole size and distribution for poly pipe to furrow irrigate row crops. Surge valves split the distribution of water in the field. Soil moisture sensors determine the amount of moisture in the soil profile. Additionally, the university engages in two dynamic research programs that cut down on the quantity of water used in irrigation while improving water quality overall. In MSU’s Row-crop Irrigation Science and Extension Research, or RISER, program, scientists partner with growers to promote better irrigation management practices. In MSU’s Research and Education to Advance Conservation and Habitat, or REACH, program, scientists introduce growers to innovative management practices for water use that save money without compromising yield. MSU scientists are also looking ahead at research opportunities involving intermittent flooding, polyacrylamide gel and surface water.
Researchers explore early corn planting
Timing counts for a lot when it comes to planting corn. That’s why Mississippi State University scientists are researching the effects of planting date, plant population and hybrid selection for field corn. MAFES scientist Brien Henry studies how different hybrids and plant populations respond to the colder, wetter conditions of early planting. His work can gather information about environmental limitations, provide insight on optimal plant populations and explore avenues like whether certain hybrid traits will allow the crop to overcome the risks associated with early planning while reaping the benefits.
Researchers use precision agriculture for weed control and more
MSU scientists utilize precision agriculture in weed control and herbicide drift research. As Jason Bond, MAFES associate research professor at MSU’s Delta Research and Extension Center, conducts and develops prescriptions to help farmers control weeds, MAFES scientist Dan Reynolds has several herbicide-related projects focused on improving production and reducing costs for farmers.
Bond, along with other MSU researchers, developed a comprehensive herbicide program to manage glyphosate resistant Italian ryegrass. The prolific weed, resistant to the herbicide commonly known as Roundup, was first discovered in Mississippi and can be found throughout the state and in many states in the Southeast. The region looks to Mississippi to develop best practices for eradicating the weed.
Reynolds and his team evaluate auxin technologies like dicamba and 2,4-D. In one recent study they evaluated the effect of drift reduction technology on soybeans injured with herbicide containing dicamba. The goal of the research is to provide an objective tool for recognizing and assessing drift injury from auxin herbicides at the field and landscape levels.
Researchers assess plant health for nitrogen prescription
Determining the right amount of nitrogen for crops can be a challenge for Mississippi producers. If there isn’t enough nitrogen, yield is sacrificed, while an excess amount can result in nutrient loss, which can negatively impact the crop and the environment. Achieving optimal efficiencies in nitrogen management is essential in decreasing costs while increasing environmental stewardship. MAFES scientist, Jac Varco, evaluates plants directly to determine nitrogen needs. He studies cotton and corn. Varco’s team uses tractor-mounted sensors to measure relative differences in crop size, biomass, leaf area and plant greenness. The measurement helps researchers determine the right prescription of variable rate nitrogen that needs to be applied to the field. Research results indicate the sensor-based fertilization is capable of either decreasing the amount of nitrogen while maintaining yield or increasing yield with slightly more nitrogen.
Studying coastal impact of ecofriendly green roofs
Horticulturists Christine Coker and Gary Bachman of the Coastal Research and Extension Center are studying and recording the effects of the coastal climate on eight “green roofs” at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport. Green roofs are gardens planted in layers of specialized materials on properly reinforced rooftops. These green roofs sit atop the first floor and are visible from the veterans’ apartments, which rise above in towers. The 78,000-square-foot green roof system was a requirement for the retirement home to be certified through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program. Certification measures, like installing green roofs, increase biodiversity and reduce energy consumption, erosion, and pollution. They also provide beautiful spaces for residents, staff, and visitors to enjoy. Coker and Bachman study how the coastal climate affects the microenvironments of green roofs. They gather data, such as median air temperature, humidity, moisture content of the plant medium, and saltwater spray exposure. Because limited data is available on green roofs in coastal areas, the project is expected to provide valuable insights on these types of ecosystems.
Cultivating sunflowers for energy production
Agronomist Normie Buehring has been testing his green thumb on sunflowers, a crop that has potential as a food and bioenergy crop that farmers can grow in Mississippi. At the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center in Verona, scientists set out to evaluate new hybrid sunflowers with shorter stems, about 3–4 feet tall. They later planted the sunflowers at four locations around Mississippi as far north as Verona and as far south as Newton. Yield and oil content were equivalent to sunflowers grown in the North, where the flowers are typically raised. However, the Mississippi-grown sunflower seeds contained higher concentrations of oleic acid than the original planting seed. The high oleic acid content would be good for high-quality cooking oil production. Seed production and oil content are also important for bioenergy production.
Squeezing energy from a beet
Energy beets could provide an off-season crop for Mississippi farmers and an alternative energy source for the nation’s expanding biofuel industry. At the Delta Research and Extension Center in Stoneville, plant scientist Wayne Ebelhar and other researchers are examining the growth and profit potential for varieties of energy beet, a nonedible relative of the sugar beet used only in biofuel production. Because they are traditionally grown in much cooler climates, energy beets will grow best during Mississippi winters as a cover crop on fields between fall harvest and spring planting.
MSU Extension agents are enlisting farmers willing to grow energy beets to test how well the crop grows in Mississippi and whether it can be produced at a profit. While energy beets are not a cheap crop to grow—about $700 per acre—the financial breakeven point would be yields around 20 tons per acre. Energy beets could yield as much as 50 tons per acre. After a few more years of testing, scientists are confident energy beets will make an excellent winter crop with minimal insect, disease, and weed pressure during the cold months.
Turning perennial grass into green gasoline
Plant scientist Brian Baldwin spent years developing a variety of giant miscanthus for use in biofuel production. Baldwin’s discovery, an adaptation of a perennial grass native to Asia, is particularly suited to the Southeast’s climate and soils, and it produces more biomass per acre than other bioenergy crops. MSU filed a plant patent application for the resulting variety, named Freedom, in 2010 and licensed it to Georgia-based Repreve Renewables LLC. Cool Planet Biofuels has used Freedom giant miscanthus to create gasoline, a breakthrough in the biofuels industry. In a pilot test, Cool Planet generated about 4,000 gallons of gasoline per acre of biomass using Freedom grown under nearly optimal crop growth conditions. Their process used air-dried, coarsely ground grass subjected to moderately high temperature and pressure to produce a ready-to-use gasoline, chemically identical to the petroleum-based fossil fuel.
Baldwin also works to develop other crops suitable for biomass production, including oilseed crops, native and exotic grasses, and Sunn hemp, kenaf, and other fiber crops. For example, he is testing several switchgrass species for their ability to germinate on demand, which would allow farmers to increase yields of this biomass crop. Baldwin also examines the use of traditional crops as alternative energy sources. In one such project, he works to improve the sugar content of a sweet sorghum variety. In collaboration with the USDA-ARS, Baldwin is developing a cold-hardy sugarcane variety.
Using High Tunnels to Produce Crops Year-round
Don’t tell assistant research professor Bill Evans that you can’t grow tomatoes in January. Evans is raising warm-season vegetables, including organic tomatoes, cucumbers, and broccoli, throughout the winter using high-tunnel greenhouses, unheated hoop buildings covered in polyethylene. While the procedure used at the Truck Crops Branch Experiment Station in Copiah County is not ready for commercial production, Evans’s project has led to the installation of dozens of high tunnels across the state. In another effort, Evans studies methods of building better soil structure during the low-production months of July and August to improve fall production.
Conserving Mississippi's Water Resources
MAFES scientists Jason Krutz, Tom Eubank, Lyle Pringle, and Joe Massey are testing several water-saving strategies, including a computer program that calculates the performance and improves the efficiency of furrow-irrigation systems. In ongoing field tests, the Pipe Hole and Universal Crown Evaluation Tool (PHAUCET) demonstrated the potential to reduce the amount of water pumped from the Delta’s underground aquifer. Preliminary results showed that the PHAUCET program reduces pumping times and water use by about 20 percent.
MAFES scientists are also working with Mississippi rice growers to determine the potential for using the Asian technique of intermittent flooding. Mississippi farmers flood their rice fields and then let the water levels naturally subside. When the upper half of a paddy has drained, they pump back enough water to reflood the entire field. However, leaving the floodwater at a lower level allows the paddy to better capture rainfall. For every inch of groundwater that does not have to be pumped, farmers save about a gallon of diesel fuel per acre. To date, intermittently flooded fields have produced the same or better rice yields as traditional fields, and milling quality has been unaffected.
Developing Better Cotton Varieties
The USDA classifies plant-parasitic nematodes as one of the greatest threats to crops throughout the world. Nematodes alone or in combination with other soil microorganisms attack almost every part of a plant, including its roots, stems, leaves, fruit, and seeds. Associate professor Ted Wallace is working to develop nematode-resistant cotton cultivars. To date, he has selected breeding lines that show resistance to two of the most important nematode pests in cotton. Wallace has completed three growing seasons using marker-assisted selection and has evaluated more than 10,000 plants in search of a desirable combination of resistance, yield, and fiber quality.
Professor Dan Peterson has mapped the cotton genome in an effort to identify genes that code for beneficial traits in cotton, including pest resistance. Peterson is part of an international team that has described the first “gold-standard” genome sequence for Gossypium raimondii, the first cotton variety chosen for sequencing by worldwide cotton scientists. Identifying key cotton genes and their importance is a crucial step in developing improved varieties with greater yield, quality, and sustainability.
Controlling Weeds In Cropping Systems
Weed science professor Dan Reynolds conducts several herbicide-related projects designed to improve crop production and save producers money. Working with the MSU Extension Service, Reynolds developed a smart phone application to help farmers avoid costly mistakes in the complex process of calibrating sprayers. Reynolds also is evaluating the effectiveness of planting low-value cover crops in the fall to elimnate spring weed growth. With scientists at the Delta Research and Extension Center, he is studying the effects of herbicide drift and examining new treatments to control weeds that have developed a resistance to the commonly used herbicide glyphosate.
MAFES researchers Jason Bond and Tom Eubank are evaluating a two-phase approach to control glyphosate-resistant weeds: a residual herbicide treatment in the fall followed by application of a nonselective herbicide before planting in the spring. This approach has proven effective at killing resistant weeds and keeping other unwanted plants from developing a tolerance to glyphosate. Farmers and researchers throughout the Southeast have adopted control programs designed by these scientists.
Rice irrigation method saves fuel, water, money
Ten years of research indicates that a water management strategy can save rice producers money on fuel and conserve water without hurting yields. Joe Massey, a scientist with the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station and professor in Mississippi State University’s Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, has focused his career on water conservation in agriculture.
With funding from the Mississippi Rice Promotion Board and Mississippi Water Resources Research Institute, Massey worked with other MAFES researchers and rice growers to determine if intermittent flooding could work in Mississippi, as it does in Asia. Massey found that Mississippi farmers flood their rice fields and then let the floodwaters naturally subside. When saturated mud is exposed in the upper half of the paddy, they pump back to a full-flood depth of about four inches. Growers using this method might pump water onto their fields only every five to nine days, depending on weather and soil conditions.
By allowing the water level in the paddies to decrease, growers can better capture rainfall. One grower using intermittent flooding in 2011 subjected his field to eight wetting and drying cycles, resulting in substantial savings of water and fuel. For every inch of rainwater that is captured or groundwater that is not pumped, farmers save about one gallon of diesel fuel per acre.
For large operations, such savings can add up to tanker truckload quantities of fuel. Typically the Mississippi Delta gets 10 to 14 inches of rain during the growing season. If rice paddies are completely filled, there is no room to capture rainfall—it rains, and the water runs off. Runoff may carry away nutrients and other chemicals that are expensive to purchase, and it may also contaminate our streams and rivers. The study found that even partial adoption of intermittent flooding can save producers money on energy and can relieve stress on those producers who struggle to maintain their rice crop when other crops also need watering.
No-till farming opens hills to crop production
Time, experience and research findings show no-till farming can boost production, prevent soil erosion and transform hayfields and pastures into viable cropland. Producers who practice no-tillage grow crops without disturbing the soil except at planting, using any residue carried over from previous crops as mulch. Instead of tillage, earthworms and other soil organisms aerate the soil while preserving its structure.
Today’s surge in commodity prices has created an ideal time for producers to embrace no-till methods. No-till works particularly well on sloping land that is often passed over by buyers and renters looking for cropland acres. Land cost in the Hills is lower than in the Mississippi Delta, and one can easily farm with no-till practices on sloping land. These fields drain well and will support equipment much better than land that has been tilled, so producers can work more days than in a tilled system.
Energy From Grass
Scientists have identified a species of grassy feedstock that works well in sustainable bioenergy production. Giant miscanthus, a warm-season Asian grass, has potential as a biomass crop for fuel. MAFES scientists have isolated, identified and selected a genotype of the species that fits agricultural production systems of Southeastern farmers. This perennial plant offers several production advantages. It produces biomass that can grow as tall as 12 feet and thrives on marginal cropland. The crop is tolerant of drought and excessive rain, and it requires few inputs once established and maintained under a one-cut system. Giant miscanthus can be harvested and baled like hay using the same type of equipment.
Improved Grazing Systems for Cattle and Wildlife
MAFES scientists are evaluating cattle performance and environmental impacts of grazing based on native, warm-season grasses. These grasses once dominated the landscape but have been eliminated by conversion to agriculture and exotic forage grasses. Native grasses produce high biomass that is palatable and nutritious for livestock. These grasses also provide superior habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including bees and butterflies.
Cotton Tolerance to Glyphosate
Research has documented Roundup Ready cotton tolerance to glyphosate, but there is little data on the effect of glyphosate application on the critical fruit partitioning stage in the newer Roundup Ready Flex cotton. A MAFES study evaluated several Roundup Ready Flex cotton varieties to shed light on this question. The study found that the varieties evaluated exhibited excellent tolerance to multiple applications with no significant differences in yield.
Asian Beetle Threatens Coastal Trees
A beetle that made its presence known in Mississippi this summer is threatening the extinction of red bay trees in the state. The beetle is the red bay ambrosia beetle, a dark brown insect about half the size of an uncooked grain of rice. It spreads the pathogen that causes Laurel wilt disease in many tree species, including Mississippi’s red bay and sassafras trees. MAFES scientists are trying to determine how the beetle got into Mississippi so it can be stopped.
Best Turf for Cemetery Use
MAFES researchers found it takes a special kind of turf to keep a cemetery looking nice without frequent maintenance.
Researchers planted St. Augustine grass, centipede grass, zoysia grass, bermuda grass and Mississippi Supreme, an ultra-dwarf bermuda grass. They examined each turf for performance in Mississippi’s climate, mowing requirements and ability to compete with weeds without regular fertilizer applications.
It is estimated that the state has more than 3,000 acres of cemeteries with a wide range of costs to maintain turf. Cost is not the only challenge in cemetery turf maintenance; weeds and turf establishment also present obstacles. Weeds are a challenge to all lawns in the state, and cemeteries are no exception.
St. Augustine is a high-quality turf that requires at least weekly mowing, and it works fine in the southern half of Mississippi, especially the lower third of the state. However, it is the least cold tolerant and may not be suitable for northern Mississippi.
Centipede is well adapted to poor soils, but it does not have the color or lush density of St. Augustine or zoysia. However, it is a good, low-maintenance grass that grows well without nitrogen fertilizer.
"Zoysia established from sod is a good choice. If it is good sod and you can supply enough water to get it established, it will last for a long time," Philley said. "Solid sod is the only recommended method of planting zoysia grass in cemeteries."
Bermuda grass is a good choice if the cemetery is highly maintained, but this turf requires regular nitrogen applications to compete with weeds. Mississippi Supreme, the ultra-dwarf bermuda grass, does not work well in nonfertilized cemeteries.
Toxin-free Castor Would Be Major Help to Industry
Castor oil is the highly desirable, plentiful product of castor beans. The oil is used to produce everything from cosmetics and paints to jet aircraft lubricants and certain plastics. The thick oil makes up 60 percent of the seed’s weight. By comparison, high-oil corn or canola only produce about 25 percent oil by weight. Ninety percent of the oil is ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid found in large quantities only in castor oil. This acid has many industrial applications.
MAFES scientist are trying to make it possible to grow the plant safely for commercial oil production in Mississippi. Castor seed meal, not the oil, contains ricin, a toxic protein that can become fatal if untreated in the body.
To make castor a commercially viable U.S. crop, scientists are trying to discover a way to genetically modify the plant so that either the gene that produces the toxin is no longer expressed or the toxin is no longer produced.
One of the challenges is that castor resists being transformed. The genetic modification process involves inserting a fragment of DNA foreign to the plant into the genetic code, where it must be accepted and become active.
Everything from cotton to corn and soybeans has been genetically modified, but castor is much more difficult. The castor cells can be transformed, but you can’t get whole plants to grow from the cells.

The Indian government is set to contribute $2million to the Africa Digital Financial Inclusion Facility (ADFI), managed by the African Development Bank, to break down barriers to the growth and uptake of digital financial solutions and accelerate financial inclusion in Africa.
The Africa Digital Financial Inclusion Facility’s collaboration with the Indian government will enable the facility to learn from best practices and help scale up initiatives to meet the needs of financially excluded and underserved people in Africa.
The World Bank revealed that nearly half of Africa’s adult population currently does not benefit from digital financial solutions. This stat is particularly true for women, youth, farmers, small businesses and rural communities.
ADFI aims to make digital financial solutions in Africa more affordable, safe and accessible by breaking down systemic barriers to the growth of digital financial inclusion in general and reducing the gender gap in financial inclusion in particular.
“Learning from India’s digital public infrastructure success story”
Manisha Sinha, additional secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs and principal ADFI governing council member for India, discussed the collaboration: “India’s pioneering role in digital financial services, extending financial inclusion to remote rural areas and creating infrastructure for the digitisation of financial services, opens a significant opportunity for India to work within the ADFI partnership to share learning and expertise on digital public infrastructure to further digital financial inclusion across the continent.”
ADFI supports the African Development Bank’s ten-year strategy focus on inclusive growth to improve the quality of life for the people of Africa. Its role also aligns with the Bank’s financial sector development department’s mandate to improve access to finance for the underserved.
ADFI works to scale innovative digital financial solutions under the three broad strategic pillars of infrastructure, policies and regulations and product innovation.
Solomon Quaynor, vice president for the private sector, infrastructure and industrialisation at the African Development Bank, also commented: “We welcome the government of India’s support of the catalytic role ADFI has been playing in accelerating greater access and usage of digital financial solutions and financial inclusion across the continent.
“We look forward to working together to add learning from India’s digital public infrastructure success story within our expanding portfolio of digital financial solutions initiatives to enhance the impact on greater economic empowerment, resilience and growth across Africa.”

Dir/scr: Phillipe Mora. US, 2012, 91mins
As a director Philippe Mora has had an eclectic career which includes the likes of controversial ‘70s documentary Swastika, Christopher Walken starring sci-fi blockbuster Communion and the eloquently titled Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch. His latest film follows in the footsteps of his recent works, being a home-made affair in which he takes centre stage amidst a freewheeling narrative that blends conspiracy theory, musical, comedy and cheerful blasphemy.
Continuity is not a film to look for polished and highly technical filmmaking. But as a genuinely subversive, funny and sometimes thoughtful slice of avant-garde cinema it succeeds admirably.
Recently receiving its world premiere at the New Horizons Film Festival in Wroclaw (where Mora has been a popular guest over the past few years and some locations of which appear in the film itself) the film is aimed squarely at a festival audience which will appreciate the leaps in logic and air of irreverence.
Mora takes the lead as ‘Agent Peter Lorre’ a codename for a CIA agent embroiled in a plot to destroy Communism by proving that God exists. To do so, a government agency employs ‘remote viewers’ to go back in time and witness the Crucifixion and then report back. But Lorre finds himself adrift in time and – as his situation becomes fractious – so does the film’s narrative. Add in some new trainees, a Nazi remote viewer who doesn’t realise that Hitler lost and a roll of pink duct tape (which is a sign of something very bad indeed) and Agent Peter Lorre has more than his hands full.
At the beginning it’s easy to dismiss this as an indulgent piece of pretentious film art. While there’s certainly a touch of indulgence, there’s enough wit and charm here to let it slide. This is essentially a comedy sci-fi movie created out of nothing more than editing together a series of – seemingly improvised - monologues shot in various locations around the world. Whilst the plot is ridiculous (but no more so than your average Hollywood blockbuster) it soon becomes strangely compelling and the low-fi shenanigans on offer become something of a virtue.
Mora himself is an engaging lead - shifting accents and costumes with a childlike glee – whilst his supporting actors are certainly enthusiastic. Despite the irreverence and appropriate disregard for propriety on display, there’s also a real intelligence at work here as the film deconstructs genre and the notion of movie-making itself.
Continuity is not a film to look for polished and highly technical filmmaking. But as a genuinely subversive, funny and sometimes thoughtful slice of avant-garde cinema it succeeds admirably. Where else would you hear a song that includes the line “… these tits changed history.”?
