Fourth generation grape berry moth is coming to southwest Michigan
The long, hot 2012 season provided sufficient heat accumulation for fourth generation grape berry moth before harvest in southwest Michigan. Grape growers across Michigan should be aware of this potential as they make management decisions before harvest.
The MSU Enviro-weather grape berry moth model predicts that egglaying by the fourth generation of grape berry moth will start at 2,430 growing degree days after wild grape bloom, and this point in the season will be reached this weekend (August 25-26) or early next week in Berrien County and Van Buren County vineyards. For the Fennville, Mich., region, this point is still more than a week away. In the Traverse City, Mich., area, the model predicts that the third generation has only recently started, and so a fourth generation is unlikely before harvest.
This variation around the state emphasizes the importance of tracking pest development and responding to the situation that develops each season, and the grape berry moth degree day model can help with this. For vineyard managers in southern Michigan with a crop to harvest in 2012, late-season berry moth control is something to consider as harvest approaches, and management can be focused in areas of the farm where this expense is warranted.
Why is this happening?
Grape berry moth has flexibility in its life cycle that allows it to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The current hot year provides a good example of how it can make use of warmer conditions to fit an additional generation into a growing season. This is possible because in southwest Michigan, the third generation egglaying started in late July. When this happens, the eggs are laid when the days are still long, and this provides a signal that the larvae can develop through to a moth and continue another generation before it will get too cold. This is the fourth generation we predict will start over the next week in southwest Michigan.
If eggs of the third generation are laid in August, as happens in a typical year (whatever that is!), then the larvae develop only to a pupa stage and they prepare for winter. This flexibility allows berry moth to make the most of long, hot seasons, but it also can create some headaches for grape growers when the fourth generation is timed before grape harvest.
Will the fourth generation affect me?
How much effect this fourth generation of grape berry moth has on grape yield and quality will depend on a number of factors. If you are growing grapes in southwest Michigan and can answer no to any of these questions, then it is not something to be too concerned with this season.
- Is there a harvestable crop?
- Does the vineyard have berry moth infestation currently?
- Will the vineyard be harvested after mid-September?
Conversely, if you can answer yes to these questions and you do have a vineyard with sufficient grape yield to harvest with some history of berry moth infestation, and the harvest will be on the later side of the harvest schedule, it is important to scout the vineyard now and determine the level of damage from the third generation. Some vineyards we have scouted in recent weeks are already at levels where the border rows require protection from this fourth generation to minimize the yield loss and contamination risk during harvest. At a few of these sites we are also seeing infestation moving toward the center of the blocks, so it is worth the time to scout through vineyards and determine whether a border spray is sufficient or if the whole block requires control.
What can I do to protect clusters against the fourth generation?
If you decide to protect clusters from this last generation, there are various insecticide options, but it is very important to observe the pre-harvest intervals (PHI). For example, Intrepid, Hero, Brigadier, Bifenture and Capture have a 30-day PHI, Danitol has a 21-day PHI and Altacor, Imidan, Lannate and Voliam Flexi have a 14-day PHI. Check the PHI of any product before using it in this pre-harvest period. It may also be a good idea to check with your winemaker or processor regarding their policy on late-season sprays.
Both Altacor (14-day PHI) and Belt (seven-day PHI) are newer insecticide options with long-lasting efficacy against grape berry moth eggs and larvae, and these should be timed for application at the predicted start of the egglaying (i.e., this weekend or early next week in southwest Michigan). For these products, excellent cluster coverage is essential, but once it is on the clusters, long residual control of grape berry moth (two to three weeks) is achieved, so these would protect the clusters through until harvest.
For products that are broad-spectrum that are best timed for egg hatch, applications should be delayed to be timed 100 degree days after 2,340 (i.e., at 2,440 GDD from wild grape bloom). Insecticides with a seven- day PHI include Entrust, Delegate, Sevin and Avaunt, and there are various, inexpensive pyrethroid insecticides with shorter PHIs that can provide excellent control for a week, such as Baythroid (three days) and Mustang Max (one day). These have broad-spectrum activity on grape insect pests. Both Venom and Scorpion have a one-day PHI. Dipel and Javelin are B.t.–containing insecticides with high activity on grape berry moths and no side-effects on natural enemies, but they also have short residual control so they would require repeated application to protect berries from the fourth generation of grape berry moth.
For any late-season application targeting berry moth, cluster coverage is essential, so be sure to have the sprayer delivering excellent coverage of the fruit, and don’t waste spray out on the leaves.

Pet dog contracts Covid in first confirmed case in UK
Animal thought to have caught coronavirus from owners, but experts say there is no evidence pets can pass it to humans.
Humans share many things with their dogs, from the sofa to cuddles and quality time. But it seems the list of joint experiences may also include coronavirus infections.
Experts say they have detected the first case in the UK of a pet dog catching coronavirus, apparently from its owners. The canine’s infection was confirmed after testing on 3 November.
It is not the first time that pets have tested positive for the virus; the same laboratory detected coronavirus in a cat last year, while research from the Netherlands has previously suggested that the virus is common in cats and dogs owned by people who have Covid.
Some experts have suggested owners with Covid should avoid their pets to prevent spreading the virus to them, and have raised concerns the animals could act as a reservoir of the virus, potentially passing it back to humans.
The UK’s chief veterinary officer, Dr Christine Middlemiss, said coronavirus was confirmed in a pet dog in the UK after tests at the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) laboratory in Weybridge, Surrey. “The infected dog was undergoing treatment for another unrelated condition and is recovering,” she said.
However, it seems owners need not be too worried. “It is very rare for dogs to be infected and they will usually only show mild clinical signs and recover within a few days. There is no clear evidence to suggest that pets directly transmit the virus to humans,” said Middlemiss. “We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will update our guidance to pet owners should the situation change.”
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also suggests there is little risk of catching Covid from a pet. “Based on the available information to date, the risk of animals spreading Covid-19 to people is considered to be low,” it states.
However it appears transmission can, at least sometimes, go the other way. “Covid-19 is predominantly spread from person to person, but in some situations the virus can spread from people to animals,” said Dr Katherine Russell, consultant epidemiologist at the UK Health Security Agency.
“In line with general public health guidance, you should wash your hands regularly, including before and after contact with animals,” she said.
Prof Rowland Kao, of the University of Edinburgh, said there was little sign that coronavirus infections in dogs were of concern.
Kao added that to be a reservoir of the virus, dogs would need to circulate the virus amongst themselves, for example in kennels – although Kao said dogs may not yet have returned in large numbers. “If they have, and we still haven’t seen much infection transmission, again it would seem to make it unlikely,” he said.
Cats and dogs are not the only animals to have caught coronavirus. “More recently, a big study has shown that white-tailed deer are probably circulating it among themselves in the US,” said Kao.
Outbreaks of coronavirus on mink farms led to mass culling of the animals in countries including Denmark, with the World Health Organization warning in February that there was a high risk of introduction and the spread of the coronavirus from fur farming to humans.
The CDC says mink to human transmission has been reported in countries including the Netherlands, Denmark, and Poland, adding there is a possibility of mink spreading the virus to people on mink farms.
But, the agency notes: “Currently, there is no evidence that mink play a significant role in the spread of Sars-CoV-2 to people.”
Prof James Wood, the head of the department of veterinary medicine at Cambridge University, said there was increasing evidence that asymptomatic and undetected infection of dogs and cats in households with human cases were actually quite common.
But he added: “The fact that they are common, perhaps counterintuitively, combined with their very rare real-time detection emphasises that they are generally not at all serious,” he said.
“Detailed risk assessments and understandings of these findings suggest that the risk of onward transmission to other pets or humans from dogs and cats is highly unlikely to occur. There is absolutely no suggestion that our pet animals will become reservoirs in the way that ferrets and white-tailed deer in Iowa have become.”

Rodrigo de Paul has a clear preference to join Inter if he leaves Udinese, according to a leading Italian transfer expert.
As per Alfredo Pedulla, the Nerazzurri almost signed De Paul for €25 million in 2019 before Luciano Spalletti was dismissed and their transfer plans changed.
The Argentine midfielder now costs at least €40 million, including bonuses, and it remains to be seen whether Inter have the financial resources to sign him this summer.
One thing is for certain though, with Pedulla explaining: “De Paul has interest from all over Europe, but he’s a proud Argentine and would want Inter a lot more than any other club.”
Inter’s transfer plans are on hold until they resolve the situation concerning Antonio Conte’s future, but the next few hours could be decisive in that sense.
The Nerazzurri are hoping they can convince Conte that they won’t sell off key players, after which they would begin planning an ‘intelligent’ recruitment campaign which would be financed by some sales.
Conte needs to be ‘serene and convinced’ for Inter to begin planning next season properly, but everything should become clearer soon.
De Paul would be an ideal reinforcement for his midfield three, having scored nine goals and provided 10 assists for Udinese this season.

I am working on a bike kit project I put together myself. So far things have going okay, but the 36V 10AH Headway LiFePO4 Battery 38120 E Bike Battery Pack has a different output connector. Itís a 4 Pin male Cannon plug, the 1,2 pins are neg. ,the 3,4, are plus. I do have the female connector but it is not wire on the system. My question is what kind of clamps (or solder) do I need for the two bare wires hanging from the harness, and does that mean all have to do is find the right wire (+or-) to put to the 1,2, and the other to the 3,4. I had seen pictures online with similar products with only two going in the female connector. But no diagrams to actually see how itís wired up. Can anyone advise on this
I have a Headway pack with the BMS from bmsbattery.com. It has four leads - two are negative, and two are positive. Both negatives are connected to P minus of the BMS (there are two spots marked P (Pack) Minus on the BMS). Both positives are connected to the pack positive terminal on the positive terminal of the cell they are connected to. This means each pair is functionally identical, and one pair of plus/minus can be left wired to the controller, and one pair can be left wired together for charging, with a pair of Anderson connectors. Or conversely, you can charge through either plus/minus pair. I have two pairs of Andersons, one on each plus/minus pair, and can use either pair for discharge or charge. Two wires go to from the B minus to the negative cell terminus, doubled for current handling.
I prefer Anderson connectors for the convenience of wiring them. I solder them - it is easier than crimping them.
This might be the setup of your wires too, but you will need to trace them back to where they are connected, on the BMS to know for sure
....you can't necessarily treat each pair the same, and maybe can only charge through one of the pairs, depending on the particular BMS (if it has a C minus port on it, one negative lead will go to C minus and will part of the charging pair of plus/minus).
Thanks for the information, but Iím not sure if that is what I need. I am sort of a novice with dc wiring. When I was putting this project together I was hoping to do more plug and go than wire and solder. The Headway 36v 10ah pack I bought is a is in a case . No bare wires, just a 4 Pin male Cannon plug on the bottom of the case to plug into the wiring harness to the controller and a side access for Coaxial Plug for charging. Now from the controller it connect to a standard looking cord with a 3 prong female plug. From there it plug into a male 3 prong plug with 2 wires (+, -) no ground. I am guessing this is setup for a battery with no case; I donít really want to get into the case because that might void my warranty. This is where I come to the 4 pins female Cannon plug that was sent (by bmsbattery.com) with no wires. So Iím just trying to figure out how to connect the 4 pins female Cannon connector. I know the Discharge connector: 1, 2 +; 3, 4- is set this way. This is where I am at, here is the reference # 38120_10ah 36V10Ah LiFePO4 Battery 38120 Battery Pack with Carrier from bmsbatery.com. It has pictures perhaps that will help. Connector/Adaptor: 4 pin female Cannon plug for DIY. on batteryspace.com shows the female connector.
Hi...my apologies, but my instructions were for the raw connections of a "do-it-yourself" Headway pack, using the bmsbattery bms, so they don't seem to apply to your situation with the various prebuilt connector ports etc. on your case. I better not advise you further, because I've not used such a setup myself. It sounds more complicated than it needs to be. Usually a controller has two positives which go to the positive discharge wire. (one of them is for an inline on-off switch, if used). And one negative which goes to the negative discharge wire. The discharge wire should only have two "active" pins - one negative one positive. I'd be tempted to replace that connection with Anderson connectors. The two controller positive wires are soldered into one Anderson connector (for "always on" setup/no on/off switch).
It sounds like you have a lot of unused pins in the connectors you have.

For Jamila and Kabir Ahang, watching televised reports of refugees fleeing to the Afghan-Pakistani border has stirred some difficult memories.
In fall 1983, amid the conflict between Soviet troops and the U.S.-backed freedom fighters, the Ahangs had to leave a comfortable life, government jobs and other family. After Soviets came to search their home in Kabul, Jamila Ahang hurriedly packed a bag to flee on horseback with three of her children.
"I had some very hard days," said Jamila Ahang. "My daughter was 11 years old at the time and she cried the whole way. It was very, very hot, and she kept falling off the horse on the mountains."
Her husband, who had worked in Kabul for the U.S. Library of Congress, had been warned the week before that his life was in danger and had escaped to Pakistan, as had their oldest son, Aziz, then 16, whom the Ahangs feared would be plucked from his classroom to fight in the war.
After traveling the country's treacherous mountains for nine days, Jamila Ahang reached the Pakistani border, where the family was reunited.
The Ahangs, who came to the United States the following year, are among 143 Afghan families scattered throughout the Chicago area, many of whom similarly fled ongoing political and military strife, according to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Support Committee, a non-profit relief organization.
While stories of narrow es- capes abound, these Afghan nationals never envisioned that the world, after the events of a single day, would come to view their homeland as a host for terrorism, or that those events would make them targets of misguided retribution.
"What happened [Sept. 11] has been very depressing for all people, for those who lost their loved ones and for people like us, because it was so terrible," Jamila Ahang said.
Her daughter, Madiha, now 28, added: "Many people don't know what Afghans are all about or what the country is about. . . . Now Afghanistan has come to mean terrorism . . . when all the Afghans who are here are here to get away from what's happening in Afghanistan."
Many Afghan refugees in Chicago came to the United States during the 1980s, at the height of the Soviet occupation, said Shirlee Heda Taraki, co-chair of the reconstruction support committee, so many refugees in America have real empathy for the million-plus refugees now trapped at the border.
Long before the attacks in New York and Washington, the committee was seeking funds to support refugees while educating Americans on the plight of the people of Afghanistan.
According to the U.S. State Department, more than half the population is illiterate, life expectancy is about 46 years and infant mortality is high at 144 deaths per 1,000 births. Widows and orphans are a substantial portion of the population.
Taraki has personally helped to resettle many of the 482 Afghans in Chicago by working with other relief agencies. She said that in the metropolitan area, there is no real geographic cluster of Afghans, who range by profession from doctors and small retailers to clerical workers and retirees.
"A second generation of Afghans has attended Chicago schools and universities and has gone on to professions that have brought up the status of their families," she said.
Taraki, a Chicago native, lived in Afghanistan for 25 years with her husband, Mohamed Rasul Taraki, whom she met at the University of Chicago. The couple moved to Kabul in 1947, where, among other things, she taught high school English.
One of her students was Jamila Ahang, who admired Taraki's compassion for people. Taraki returned to the Chicago area after her husband's death in 1972, but the two women and their families maintained close ties.
In 1984, Taraki helped form the Human Rights in Afghanistan Committee in Chicago, which later changed its name to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Support Committee, to reflect a desire on the part of many Afghan professionals to rebuild their homeland once a stable government is in place.
The Taliban rule
Taraki also developed the Afghan Women's Task Force in 1988. "We formed this organization back when the Taliban was not quite as obnoxious as it is today," she said.
Since the Taliban movement took control in 1996, women have not been allowed to seek employment or education, or leave home without a male escort. All women in public places are required to wear a chadari, a head-to-toe garment that shields the eyes with netting and covers the hands.
Women accused of adultery have been publicly executed.
"We never heard of any such thing as the Taliban when we were there," Jamila Ahang said, explaining that the name is the plural form of the word "talib," meaning a student of religious matters or a young person who helps in a mosque. The Taliban has perverted the word for its own use, she said.
"If you're a Muslim, you're not supposed to kill an ant walking under your feet," Jamila Ahang said, adding that suicide is considered a "great sin."
Kabir Ahang said Islam also embraces the idea that "all believers are brothers. Christians and Jews are believers, so we are all brothers to each other."
The Ahangs hope to help Americans separate the acts of terrorism and the perpetrators from the vast majority of people in Afghanistan. They are encouraged by remarks President Bush and others made condemning attacks in America against people based on skin color, ethnicity or religion.
"My purpose as an Afghan woman here is to let people know that Afghan people are very decent people and are not capable of such atrocities," Jamila Ahang said.
She also said the current residents of Afghanistan are victims of the government and a prolonged drought. "Bombing these people is not going to help. They are suffering. They are already dead, really, from starvation, from malnutrition, from a lot of diseases."
Kabir Ahang said rebuilding the country and bringing the terrorists to justice will take time. "In my opinion," he said, "the collapse of the Taliban will solve the problems."

For those of you who have been living under a rock, Kristen Stewart has finally spoken out about her unrequited feelings for Robert Pattinson. In an interview with Elle, she said that he once wrote her a love song and even suggested that they may have had a musical connection because several of his songs were about her. Although many of you may see this as yet another example of the media’s obsession with the ‘kryptonite and elixir’ of celebrity romance, we need to remember that there is likely more than one side to this story. We will attempt to explore the possibility of a romantic connection between these two very popular stars as well as the circumstances surrounding their brief encounter.
Was He Inspired By Her?
One of the many reasons why you may love ‘Twilight’ is due to the fact that it successfully managed to portray an age-old storyline in a modern way. In this latest adaptation of ‘The Twilight Saga,’ Robert Pattinson gives an incredibly sensitive and nuanced performance as the tortured and tragic Edward Cullen. Despite his good looks and charm, deep down he is a broken soul who constantly struggles with his internal demons. What is most astounding is that Twilight was able to capture the universality of the Edward Cullen character while also maintaining a fascinating and intimate connection to the audience. Because of this, many fans and even casual observers may have wondered if Edward was in fact inspired by Kristen Stewart, particularly because of their shared passion for jazz music and classical music.
Classical music may have been a particular inspiration for the character, as Edward constantly plays music to help him grapple with his problems. He even plays the ‘Blue Danube’ Waltz, which is the same waltz that both Kristen and Robert danced to in the movie ‘Casablanca.’ In this interview with Elle, Robert said that he used to play that song for his mother when he was a child because it would make her happy. So although it was never confirmed, we can assume that the character of Edward was at least partially inspired by Robert’s youth and musical upbringing.
Was He In Love With Her From The Start?
There is also the possibility that Edward’s character was inspired by a specific character that Kristen read about in a book. It is known that she has a very deep love for literature and has even cited several novels as being formative experiences in her life. One such novel is ‘Frankenstein,’ which is the source of Mary Shelley’s famous monster. In the novel, Dr. Frankenstein creates a man in his image, expelling all the evil within himself. The result of his efforts is a perfect man, whom he nicknames ‘Adam.’ Like Edward, Adam also has a passion for classical music and even delights in expressing his emotions through song. In another work of fiction, one of the main characters is haunted by the specter of a woman who committed suicide after their affair was discovered. This drives him insane, and he begins to see and hear things that aren’t there, leading to a complete mental breakdown.
When asked about these songs during an interview with Rolling Stone, Robert said that ‘you could see that [Edwards] was inspired by a lot of different things. There’s a lot of darkness in there, and that’s what makes it interesting.’ He added: ‘I don’t want to give too much away because it’s part of the story, but basically he’s a character that was inspired by a lot of different things.’
Did They Have A Secret Relationship?
Although the world may see these two high-profile stars as being just a celebrity couple and nothing more, there is a strong possibility that they had a deeper, more intimate relationship than most people know about. In the 2009 movie ‘The Lucky Ones,’ a struggling actress named Chloe is dating a wealthy man named Nick. In the scene where they are sitting together and she expresses her concerns about their age difference and his money, he reassures her that they are meant to be together and that there is more to their relationship than she thinks.
The director of the film, Henry Selick, confirmed that this is indeed the case and that the screenplay was based on a real relationship between two Hollywood stars. One of the interesting things about this story is that it proves that no matter what the tabloids say or how much money and power the celebrities may enjoy, they are still just people with feelings and vulnerabilities just like the rest of us. So although their personal lives may be perfect for the media, they are still hurting just like the rest of us. In one of her earliest interviews as a 20-year-old, Kristen said: ‘I think as humans we’re very attracted to the forbidden fruit. The more taboo a thing is, the more we want to explore it. For example, I really enjoyed doing ‘Twilight’ because it’s so taboo — especially for girls. I love a good taboo, as you’ll soon find out! Let’s just say that I’m not really good at keeping secrets…’
No Pressure, Princess.
Even after all these years, there is still an unspoken understanding between these two worlds: that of the media and that of the celebrity world. In some ways, this is a good thing, as it means that even after their relationship ended, they were able to maintain a healthy working relationship. In other ways, it means that people (and sometimes the media) can still expect some form of public behavior from a celebrity, even if that behavior may not always be in line with what is considered ‘appropriate’ in polite society.
Why Didn’t They Get Together In The First Place?
Even if Edward was never actually in love with Kristen, it doesn’t mean that their brief romance was entirely unproductive. After their heartbreaking encounters, the two were able to become better friends. And although they have both moved on with their lives and are now married to other people, they still remain very good friends to this day. So while their romance may have been an improbable event that was barely touching on the surface, it still managed to have some significance.
Kristen gave a rare public appearance with Robert in London earlier this year, and they looked very happy and in love. Although it is hard to imagine that a perfect 10 will ever exist, their chemistry and obvious affection for one another served as further proof that their romance was not a total hoax. In the same way that ‘Twilight’ managed to transcend its source material and become something entirely unique, it is my hope that this article will help bring awareness to those of you who may have been wondering if Robert and Kristen’s romance was just a media creation or if there was more than meets the eye.

Temperature mapping study also called T-mapping is carried out for various assets used for transportation and storage of temperature sensitive products which consist of capsules, vaccines, body cells and tissues, food items and so on.
We, at Vacker Kuwait, carry out humidity and temperature mapping studies in regions or areas like Hawalli, Al Ahmadi, Sabah as Salim, Al Farwaniyah, As Salimiyah, Al Fahahil, etc.

The essential idea is to accumulate temperature data constantly over a time frame to examine and discover the consequences. In order to do this, temperature information loggers are required to record the records. The data loggers are placed across the entire location in a systematic sample to record the statistics over a delegated length underneath numerous operational situations. After the required time, the records is downloaded and analysed.
The evaluation is achieved underneath unique climatic conditions to investigate the behaviour in excellent climatic situations.

Source: Washington Monthly Now, the Protect IP Act (or PIPA) is still out there in the Senate, so the "fight" isn't entirely over. However, after the Obama Administration voiced opposition to the bill, and with the Internet Blackout (Which Wikipedia has just joined) looming, its prospects certainly aren't looking good. Before you celebrate too hard, however, it's important to remember that it is still entirely possible that another bill like SOPA could be proposed in the House anytime in the near future. However, after all the public backlash, I'm sure that the interested parties will at least think twice before trying again.

Wascana Solar Co-op Announces New Class C Share Offering!
We are excited to announce a new share offering under our Solar Investment Opportunity program
Wascana Solar Co-operative (WSC) is excited to announce a new share offering under its Solar Investment Opportunity program, effective December 1, 2023. The capital raised through this share offering will allow the Solar Co-operative to secure additional spaces for solar power generation in the Regina area.
We are thrilled with the opportunity to progress towards a greener future for power generation in Saskatchewan. With this share offering, we aim to invest half a million dollars towards installing up to 500 solar panels on the roofs of public buildings and businesses in the Regina area.
The Wascana Solar Co-operative followed the model of the Saskatchewan Environmental Society’s solar co-op based in Saskatoon. Through the Solar Investment Opportunity (SIO) program the co-op secures financial backing from its members, who realize a small profit through dividends from their investment. WSC members find the SIO is an affordable way to invest in renewable energy projects that reduce carbon emissions. Each Class C share will cost $1000, the approximate equivalent of installing one solar panel. Only WSC members may purchase Class C shares, to a maximum of five shares. Memberships can be purchased for $100 here.
The WSC initiated their first share offering in 2018 which resulted in the installation of 115 solar panels on the roof of the Conexus Credit Union on North Albert Street, Regina. At the time of its construction it was the largest solar installation in the City of Regina. Since 2019 this installation has generated 210 Mwh of clean energy (or 210,000 kwh of electricity). This resulted in a reduction of approximately 149 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) that would have been emitted by SaskPower’s existing power sources that rely on burning of coal and natural gas for 79% of total generation.
With the current share offering, the co-op is expecting to install up to 500 panels in the Regina area. It will be evaluating the rooftops of a range of public and private businesses or organizations that own buildings or property and are looking for ways to lower their carbon footprint. Working with the WSC allows these companies to be environmentally responsible without investing valuable company capital.
WSC signs long term agreements with building owners to install solar panels on their roofs or property. The capital required for the solar installations is raised though share sales to co-op members. The WSC then earns revenue from the solar installations by collecting a fee from the owners roughly based on the power the installations produce. These funds are used by the WSC to cover the costs of purchasing, installation and maintenance for the project. Over the term of the project, the shares pay out dividends.
Wascana Solar Co-operative also operates the Group Buy program for individuals interested in installing solar panels on residential properties. The Co-op has also installed 848 panels on residential roofs through its Group Buy program.
For further information about Wascana Solar Co-op and its Solar Investment Opportunity please call 306-53SOLAR (537-6527), reach out by email to email@example.com or visit our Investment Opportunities page.

Accolades don't get any more literal than naming U-City Grill "Best Lunch Counter." Besides a pair of two-tops crowded along one wall, a lunch counter is literally all there is. From behind the elbow-shape counter, which seats fewer than a dozen diners, owners Mr. and Mrs. Sim -- who will smile but rarely talk, not even to one another -- crank out the following greasy-spoon staples: eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, ham, corned beef, toast, coffee, grilled cheese, BLTs. You can have a soda, but you'll pull it yourself from the beverage case near the door. There are no hamburgers or fries at U-City Grill, but there are Korean items like bibimbap

I was invited to comment on the State of Union speech yesterday on the Rick Amato Show, it was obvious that the President was going to mention the Immigration issue, and he did. He briefly mentioned that Congress has a responsibility to fix our broken system.
I am very optimistic, McCain’s win in Florida today maybe an indication that we are getting ready for a possible change. The foreign Born community in thid country will support the Candidate that will take a chance on immigration reform. Ruben Navarrette Jr.writes today:
For the foreign-born, many of whom care deeply about the immigration issue, maybe the person who deserves their support in November isn’t the candidate who voted to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border (Barack Obama) or the one who equivocated on giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses only to cave in and oppose it (Hillary Clinton). Maybe it’s the guy who stuck his neck out and co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy, no less, a comprehensive immigration reform bill that offered a path to legal status and made him a pariah in his own party.
And maybe it’s the person who, despite learning that protecting the border is the first priority, still stuck by his guns about the need for a comprehensive approach: Viva McCain.
I will also post my radio podcast in the next few days.

Packaged Facts forecasts the U.S. market for household cleaning products to grow at a CAGR of two percent through 2012 to reach $8.1 billion. A possible pullback in consumer spending will likely keep growth low overall in 2008 and may last into 2009.
Packaged Facts sees several factors affecting growth and offering opportunities for those nimble enough to take advantage. The sweet spot for accelerated growth and highly profitable sales may be higher-end, eco-friendly products targeted at consumers’ desire for ease-of-use and convenience. Packaged Facts expects more consumers to make cleaning a lifestyle choice rather than simply a sanitary chore; accelerated growth of two-person households causing increased spend on household cleaning; and consumer interest in the new wave of private label products will also be significant drivers going forward:

The report outlines key issues and trends affecting the overall market and analyzes the different product categories. The report also identifies major players and brands and analyzes their performance in terms of sales and market share.

California American Water seeks rate hike
- Celia Lamb
- Staff writer
California American Water plans to increase water rates for Sacramento customers by more than 60 percent over two years.
The changes would increase the average monthly bill for metered residential customers using about 11,220 gallons per month would change from $30.33 this year to $45.67 next year and $50.39 in 2011. Customers with flat rates would have monthly bills increasing from $35.96 this year to $55.33 next year and $61.00 in 2010.
The company, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), has applied with the state Public Utilites Commission for the authorization for the rate increases. It expects a decision by June 2010.
California American Water said it needs the additional rate revenue to fund $85 million for capital projects proposed in the Sacramento region, including water main replacements, meter installations and new water storage tanks. It also wants to hire 18 employees for operations, administration and conservation operations.
The company has 10 water systems in unincorporated areas of Sacramento and Placer counties.

It has now been revealed that the man who, back in 2015, smuggled Shamima Begum and two others into Syria was also allegedly working with Canadian intelligence, providing them with information about ISIS. He allegedly did so in order to be granted asylum by the Canadians. The BBC claims that this was part of an agreement he had with the Canadians. Shamima remains in a refugee camp in Syria, but the other two young women had reportedly died during the war.
Canada is now saying that they support an inquiry into their agent’s role in the journey of these three young women to Syria.
The story of Shamima Begum, which had always seemed off for some reason, now comes into focus more clearly.
This is the same young woman who, perhaps too candidly for her own good, pointed out that civilians were being killed in Baghuz by Western forces as well (you can read a little about the controversy of the Battle of Baghuz here).
RELATED: Why ISIS is Not Islamic
The entire interview that Shamima Begum first did with the BBC can now be viewed in an entirely new light. It even makes the BBC interviewer’s accusatory questioning style seem even more unfair.
Apparently the parents of these three girls could not understand why the girls were never stopped and prevented from entering Syria:
“To the parents, the authorities’ explanations for why the girls hadn’t been stopped didn’t add up. They believed their daughters had been assisted in leaving, under the very noses of the authorities, who were occupied in trying to cover up what they claimed were oversights. In early March of 2015, news broke that seemed to confirm their suspicions – only to be swept aside until this week.
Turkish officials claimed the man who had met the girls in Istanbul and smuggled them into Syria was a Canadian intelligence asset. Canadian media advanced the story based on Turkish intelligence reports, suggesting that Mohammed al-Rashed was a double-agent acting as an IS people-smuggler, ferrying British nationals into IS territory and relaying their identities back to the Canadians. If the Turkish authorities’ account was to be believed, an agent with ties to Canada had smuggled three British girls into a war zone.”
Even while acknowledging that Shamima Begum went to Syria willingly, we can see how—with the numerous different participants involved in the conflict—her story and the stories of many others like her are far from being black and white.
This is all made even more outrageous by the fact that the UK (recall that Canada is a member of the Commonwealth and has good relations with the UK) had no problem stripping Begum of her citizenship.
How hastily the lines of ethics and morality are blurred by activities of states, with people’s lives made into characters within their schemes and treated as mere pawns in the game. Anyone who dares to point out those blurred lines are at best dismissed—they are dismissed by governments because they don’t want the population to be aware about any of it; and also dismissed by the population because they’ve faithfully swallowed the government narrative and have firm conviction it in.
Shamima Begum remains stateless, though it appears she’s removed the hijab and continues asking to be allowed to return to the UK.


Australian officials have joined international partners in staging a virtual boycott of Russia during G20 proceedings in Washington.
Finance Minister Simon Birmingham says Australian officials joined the walkout by "turning their cameras off at the right time".
"Obviously you can't get up and walk out of the meeting in that context, but they removed themselves from participation in the meeting during the Russian engagement," Senator Birmingham told the ABC.

"Australia continues to work as closely as we can during this election period with all of our international partners to put as much pressure on Russia as possible."
Senator Birmingham says the government continues to ensure promised military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine is delivered.
Australia has also joined Five Eyes cybersecurity partners - including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand - to warn about the potential of increased Russian cyber attacks against critical infrastructure.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre issued a joint cybersecurity advisory on Russian state-sponsored and criminal cyber threats.
Head of the ACSC Abigail Bradshaw says intelligence and historic instances of destructive cyber attacks means organisations need to take urgent action to improve their security.
"In particular, critical infrastructure organisations should act now to raise defences, not wait until being attacked," Ms Bradshaw said in the joint statement.
"The ACSC stands ready to support its critical infrastructure partners in responding to the threats we face - by raising their awareness of the threat, sharing indicators of compromise, and providing technical mitigation advice."

Fair dairy: Tatarstan dairy producers stop using palm oil?
New labelling requirements made milk factories refuse products with vegetable fats
Milk factories are switching to new packaging, as labelling rules that have come into force in January require it: the content of palm oil must be indicated in bold type on the front side of the label. Being afraid this will scare the consumer, several producers including in Tatarstan started to withdraw products with vegetable oils from the assortment. However, import volumes of this feedstock are still high in Russia and continue growing at the moment – palm oil imports increased by a quarter last year and hit almost a billion tonnes (946,100 tonnes). Realnoe Vremya tells the details.
Palm oil labelling becomes compulsory
Palm oil isn't prohibited in the food industry, but the consumer has the right to know about its presence in the food and make a choice on his own: whether to buy it or not. This is why producers have been obliged to openly inform buyers about the presence of vegetable fats in a product. Corresponding amendments to the technical regulation of the Customs Union On Safety of Milk and Dairy came into force on 11 January. So what has changed on milk shelves during this time?
Milk processors were warned about the new labelling requirements beforehand providing with 180 days to change the packaging and create new declarations for goods with changed names. Now products with palm oil must contain the words ''milk-containing products with milk fat replacer'' in the name and data about production technology. Moreover, this information must be noticeable: in a special information space in contrast bold type at least 2,5mm thick on the front side of the label. There also must be at least a 3mm thick inscription ''Contains vegetable oils''.
''Yes, we have spreads, and we've changed the packaging for new lots. We are writing they contain vegetable oils – all in accordance with the requirements. But we had stocks with old labels, we've just stamped them as it should be, in bold type. Of course, we produce a small number of these products, as little as possible, on request. When it became a problem, we almost refused them. Sometimes we even don't produce spreads, mainly butter,'' head of the laboratory of Archa Arsk Milk Factory Alsu Zakiyeva told Realnoe Vremya.
The Kazan Milk Factory said they didn't produce foods with vegetable fats but accepted supplies from other milk factories of Komos Group holding from Udmurtia, whose part our enterprise became in the summer 2017.'
''All products in Kazan are manufactured without milk fat replacers. But again, we have five production sites in the holding. For instance, we don't manufacture Minions, curd snacks, ourselves, they are made in Izhevsk, vegetable fats are added in. And if our shops place an order on them, a lorry comes here and distributes. But we haven't so far received these products in the new packaging,'' said the administration of the Kazan Milk Factory.
Who will pay for 'inconvenient' labelling?
The Zelenodolsk Milk Factory produces cheeses (Editor's Note: products with vegetable fats) only on one site – in Buinsk.
''Name is the only thing that has changed in these products. If earlier it was called a cheese product, now it will be called a ''milk-containing product with milk fat replacer''. It will be written that vegetable fats are used with big letters in bold type, so no cheating. The name has just become longer, to make it clearer. We don't have other products with vegetable oils,'' explained Deputy Director General of the ZMF on Quality Roza Garipova.
The National Union of Milk Manufacturers with about 100 processing companies-members said they didn't notice anybody to resort to the new labels on the first day of application of new labelling requirements.
In the interlocutor's opinion, the population in Tatarstan with a big feedstock reserve and many regional processors is well provided with natural products at low prices. And there aren't so many companies working with vegetable oils. However, palm oil imports in the country in general are just gaining pace. Imports of this feedstock rose by 24,1% last year, to 946,100 (by 12,2%, to $677,6m in monetary terms). So dairy in the new packaging might appear on shelves soon. Under conditions of limited demand, producers won't shift costs to buyers' shoulders due to the change of labels and components.
Legal business is hit, not fakers
Milk terms will disappear from names of products with vegetable fats, for instance, such goods can't be called ''smetanka'' instead of ''smetana'' anymore. Otherwise, this will be considered as cheating the consumer. The new labelling requirements, first of all, will affect cheeses where the share of milk containing products has considerably risen. If it was 12-14$ five years ago, now it's risen to 27-28%. Also, there are many milk fat replacers in butter production, less in cottage cheese and creamy products.
''Actually, we're washing away legal products manufactured in the low price category for socially unprotected citizens. It occupied its own niche, those who wanted bought it. So now we are trying to exclude legal producers who pay taxes and provide job opportunities, it won't affect fakers – they did and will violate the law,'' Zhebit complained.
Experts of Soyuzmoloko see tightening responsibility for milk fakes as a solution to the problem. Moreover, not only in retailing but in state procurement, which accounts for a big volume of fakes. According to the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, the share of dairy confusing the consumer might reach 20%. The service claimed that 7% of milk and 8% of cheese on Russian shelves contain vegetable fats.
By the way, last week the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance set up a hotline for complaints about quality, safety and shelf life of dairy. Specialists of the Food Hygiene Surveillance Department will answer questions of residents of Tatarstan.

Even though Lucas Till's MacGyver was recently hit with some of the lowest viewership data and demo ratings of its five seasons so far, the CBS drama is still a pretty successful Friday night entry by any definition. No doubt CBS execs are hoping for a similar brand of success when it comes to the ongoing court case surrounding the MacGyver lawsuit that was filed back in 2018. The network's confidence definitely showed in its most recent filing, in which the defendants clapped back against the plaintiffs' views on spinoffs and reboots.
The original lawsuit, filed by Hanzer Holdings and Arlita Inc., essentially states that that plaintiffs are owed money from the most recent MacGyver TV series, which debuted in 2016. According to the dual plaintiffs, they are entitled to reimbursement payments due to a deal made for the original series with Major Talent Agency, which was the packaging entity responsible for the original Richard Dean Anderson series, which aired from 1985-1992. According to Deadline, the lawsuit states that a commission agreement within the original pact covered additional projects that were produced in connection to the original project's agreement.
To put it more plainly, Hanzer Holdings and Arlita Inc. are pushing the assertion that CBS' current MacGyver series is indeed a spinoff series, thus tethering it to the original series and the agreement with CBS Studios (then Paramount Television). The lawsuit claims that whenever the network first announced the new MacGyver, the project was dubbed at the time as a "reboot," a "remake" and a "spinoff" by CBS and others. Further, the suit argues that Lucas Till's take on MacGyver is indeed a spinoff, which is where the network is planting its semantical feet down.
Here's a particularly strong section of the lawsuit that hones in on why CBS' legal team views Hanser and Arlita's lawsuit as deficient.
The language used there is far more technical than what normally precedes a mic drop, but that's still what the vibe was from the motion that CBS filed. Granted, just because those claims were made in a legal doc doesn't mean they'll be considered 100% accurate by a judge and/or jury, if it comes to that. At this point, the trial date is set for June 7, so there's not much time left for both parties to come to some for of agreement/settlement before things get a lot more expensive in the courtroom.
It certainly seems like a strange argument to say that the 2016 version of MacGyver is a spinoff of the original series when Lucas Till is playing the exact same character that Richard Dean Anderson portrayed in the original drama. There were some early talks about Anderson having some role in the reboot as a spiritual passing of the torch, but presumably not in a way that made it seem like the original series was canonical to the new MacGyver's fictional universe. That said, there are projects out there such as Peacock's upcoming Battlestar Galactica return that are noted to be remakes that still tie into the original lore, so I guess few things are so simple in the entertainment industry.
Between the lawsuit's filing back in 2018 and now, MacGyver went through another controversial situation regarding its creator and former showrunner Peter Lenkov, who was fired in July 2020 over allegations about abusive behind-the-scenes behavior in regards to the cast and crew. (Lucas Till was particularly affected by Lenkov's actions over the years.) And that's not to mention the variety of other behavioral issues that have plagued the network and its execs in recent years
Given how long it usually takes for legal motions to be formed and filed, we might not hear anything else about this case before the trial date arrives. But until then, don't forget to peep out new episodes of MacGyver every Friday night on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Anna Karenina director Joe Wright instructed Keira Knightley to tone down her famous pout whilst shooting the film
Her pillowy lips have become something of a trademark, but that didn’t stop Anna Karenina director Joe Wright telling Keira Knightley to tone down her pout whilst shooting the epic love story film.
In an interview with the Metro newspaper, Wright reveals how he instructed the British actress not to pout on camera and to try to stop the habit of sticking out her chin whilst filming the big screen adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel, which also stars Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
He said: ‘Thing is, her lips naturally pout so the poor girl probably has to pull them in a bit.’
