Effective Protection and Pest Control in a Vegetable Patch
Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult to get rid of vegetable pests. You can not use any pesticide on your vegetable plants because you do not want to consume vegetables that have been treated with harsh chemicals. Thankfully, you got some great organic choices that will prevent pests from eating your vegetables.
It's true that insects, including insect pests, are part of gardening. However, the vegetable garden is definitely not the place to use harmful chemicals in the name of bug control. Just like humans love to eat vegetables, bugs love to eat vegetables too.
If you catch the pests early while there are only a few, you can just kill them by rinsing them off with water from a hose. However, if there are tons of bugs on your vegetable plants, you will have to take more drastic methods.
Insecticidal soap is great for killing vegetable pests. Another safe insecticide is neem oil, which is made of vegetable oil. Neem oil is an organic product that repels bugs like aphids, beetles, caterpillars, and thrips. Using horticulture oil spray is a well known way to kill bug pests.
More tips for eradicating pests
Use netting, horticultural fleece and collars to keep vegetable fly, leek moth and cabbage fly away from your vegetable patch. Spraying with an infusion of horsetail (Equisetum arvense) helps to prevent fungal infections.
Just boil up two dessert spoons of the dried weed in two litres of water, leave to infuse for 15 minutes, cool, then strain. Every two or three weeks, on a sunny morning, spray the infusion over the plant and the soil.
If you grow vegetables in the same position year after year, certain pests and diseases will be quick to establish themselves, lying dormant in the soil between growing seasons. You can prevent this by rotating crops in the vegetable patch.
Choose pest-resistant cultivars
Good soil conditions and a liberal supply of nutrients, water, light and air are important for healthy plant growth. The choice of varieties also has a crucial influence on whether or not your vegetables will be attacked by pests.pest control South Auckland

This beautiful and savory dish is served in most local restaurants in Spain, it is a national treasure of their cuisine. This intensely flavored dish is made with one single large cast iron or enamel pan, what could be more simple.
Spanish Chorizo is a dry salami made from fermented, cured and smoked course ground pork and seasoned with smoked paprika. (Chorizo is available on Amazon). The gorgeous red color comes from simmering Spanish chorizo in a high quality olive oil until the oil is deeply flavored and colored from the spicy paprika in the chorizo. Then the chicken pieces are braised in this oil until the fats in the chicken skin join with the oils in the pan to become vibrantly red. The chicken is then removed from the pan and set aside. Garlic, onion and peppers are added to this amazing oil and simmered until fragrant and married, and then chicken bone broth is added to deglaze, and then cream is added later to create a gorgeous gravy.
Now comes the secret for this umami explosion, dry Sherry, which adds another whole layer of taste, with rich sweet flavors. The chicken is then added back to this same pan, and tucked deep into the luscious red sauce, and the entire pan is placed in the oven until the chicken is falling off the bone. This is a fabulously delicious feast from the heart of the beautiful sun drenched land of Spain, and is a dish you will always remember… all with one pan and finished in 40 minutes. Enjoy!
6 to 8 chicken thighs, depending on size, skin on, bone in (we use free range and air chilled)
4 to 6 ounces Spanish Chorizo, cut into 1/4 inch coins (we use Palacios brand)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1 cup chicken bone broth, already reduced
1 cup dry Sherry (we use Amontillado)
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 ounces for the chicken and 2 ounces for the veggies
5 to 7 garlic cloves, depending on size, crushed
1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika, 1 teaspoon for the chicken before braising and 2 teaspoons for the veggies (we use La Chinata brand)
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes or cayenne
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 heaping tablespoon flour (we use rice flour)
2 teaspoons salt, 1 1/2 teaspoon applied to the chicken and 1/2 teaspoon applied to the veggies
1 teaspoon black pepper
Spread out the chicken on plates or butcher paper and sprinkle on the salt and paprika to both sides, especially under the skin. Set aside, and the longer the salt draws the juices out the more juicy the chicken will be.
Chop the onion and the bell pepper.
Heat the chicken bone broth until just hot and add the flour, stirring until it is fully dissolved.
In a 12 to 14 inch cast iron or enamel pan, heat on low to medium half the olive oil and simmer the chorizo until the oil is flaming red. We don’t want the chorizo too hot or the pieces will be too hard. Remove the chorizo from the heat and set aside.
Now add all the crushed garlic, allow to simmer until aromatic and then place the chicken thighs into the pan with the bone side down. Braise for 3 or 4 minutes until the thighs have picked up the garlic from the pan and are well flavored, and then turn the thighs over and braise on the skin side for another 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside covered, with the seared skin side up.
Add the rest of the olive oil and when hot, saute on medium high heat the onion and bell pepper until the onion is translucent and slightly softened, about 5 or 6 minutes.
Sprinkle on the last 1/2 teaspoon of salt, paprika, the pepper flakes or cayenne, and the black pepper. Stir and mix well.
Add the chicken broth with the dissolved flour and it will sizzle and deglaze the pan, and at the same time, form a slight gravy.
Now add the Sherry and the chorizo, simmer until married, about 2 minutes, and then add back the chicken with its juices, with the skin side still up.
Now you have a choice, you can bake the chicken or continue to braise. If you choose to bake, place the entire cast iron pan in the oven, at 375 degrees, for about 25 minutes until the chicken is tender. If you continue to braise on the stove, simmer on low-medium until the chicken is tender and nearly falling off the bone.
No matter which cooking style you choose, when the chicken is finished, stir in the cream and the thyme, pouring between the thighs, and simmer until married, about 2 minutes.
Finally nestle the thighs together with some fresh thyme stems and a last splash of Sherry. Serve with crusty bread or broiled potatoes. Enjoy!

text: ESPN Fantasy Projection: Buffalo has seemingly been in the tight end market for years, but Knox put some concerns to bed with a leap forward in 2021. Including the playoffs, the 2019 third-round pick was on the field for 87% of snaps during 17 active weeks. During the regular season, Knox led all tight ends in touchdowns (nine) and TD rate (12.3%), while finishing fourth in end zone targets (nine). On the negative side, Knox was targeted only 73 times (20th at the position) and fell short of a top-10 fantasy campaign. The 25-year-old's usage doesn't figure to rise much in 2022, so even in an elite Buffalo offense, he's best viewed as a good TE2.

Since the era of slavery and continuing through the present, Black women have articulated a vision of freedom, equality, anti-racism, and racial uplift, drawing from Scripture to sustain their work of promoting equal rights for African Americans. From the early female abolitionists such as Maria Stewart, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman, to the anti-lynching activists Ida B. Wells and Mary Talbert, to the twentieth-century civil rights activists Ella Josephine Baker and Septima Clark, and countless others, these "churchwomen" actively challenged the status quo that relegated Black women to the least empowered positions in the social order.

Someone with access to Olive Township's debit card made more than $1,600 in unauthorized ATM withdrawals at three casinos in Indiana and Minnesota between 2009 and 2011, according to an audit of the township's finances by the State Board of Accounts.
Not only that, but someone altered the corresponding bank statements in an attempt to conceal the transactions, made at Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City, Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, and Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minn., the report states.
Also according to the report, Olive Township trustee John Michalski:
-- Failed to report or pay taxes on more than $600 in additional income he received from the township for maintaining a township-owned lot;
-- Failed to provide sufficient documentation to support various township expenses, including assistance payments, totaling more than $3,700;
-- Failed to reimburse the township the cost of a prescription medication in his name paid for with the township debit card; and
-- Failed to properly reconcile the township's bank balance, resulting in a negative balance of more than $1,500.
The State Board of Accounts has requested that Michalski also reimburse the agency for the costs of conducting an audit of the township's records because his record-keeping was so bad, a request with which he has so far declined to comply. The State Board of Accounts has referred the matter to the St. Joseph Co. Prosecutor's Office to consider whether criminal charges should be filed in the case. Another township trustee in St. Joseph Co., Penn Township Trustee Jeff Dean (D), recently pleaded guilty to ghost employment charges after it was discovered that he had been paying his live-in girlfriend and former secretary for work that she was not performing. Olive Township Board President Clark Hensell told the Tribune that he was "totally" confident in Michalski's ability to perform his job. Wow!

Kamokini releases new swimwear collection.
Nigerian swimwear brand, Kamokini has released a collection of eye-catching swimwear tagged the “Blocks” collection.
Kambili Ofili-Okonkwo is the brain behind the brand. This collection details bright, colourful and equally playful designs that appeal to lovers of fashion.
Read the message from the brand’s website on the collection:
“The idea to design swimwear came 2 years ago when she began her search for stylish bikinis at high street prices. She also searched for swimsuits that were aware of the average woman’s true body consciousness whilst maintaining her desire to look stylish when she is her most physically exposed. Kambili decided to take matters into her own hands to design swimsuits that catered to her own perspective on what real women expect of a fashionable, affordable and figure complimenting swimsuit.”
See the rest of the photos.

I’ve written a few of these posts lately, which have mostly come about because of spending money I received for my 50th birthday. In this case, however, I bought the DVD for The Talons of Weng-Chiang a long time ago. I’d made a couple of false starts on it, but only now have gotten round to finishing it–motivated in part by my desire to show it to one of my nerdier daughters.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
Starring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor.
Companions: Louise Jameson as Leela
Written by Robert Holmes. Directed by David Maloney.
Format: 6 episodes, each about 25 minutes long
Originally Aired: February – April 1976. (Episodes 21-26 of Season 14)
The Talons of Weng-Chiang is written by Robert Holmes, who has the current script editor of the show at the time, and is one of the most celebrated contributors to Doctor Who scripts from the classic series. It was the last story to be produced by Philip Hinchcliffe, who had done a celebrated run of stories for most of Tom Baker’s era with the show to that point. Hinchcliffe’s successor, Graham Williams, sat in on the production, and Williams’ successor, John Nathan-Turner, started his work on the program as a Production Unit Manager.
The Talons of Weng-Chiang has long had a reputation as one of the greatest stories in the history of Doctor Who, and indeed it’s easy to see where this reputation comes from. There is a lot here to recommend, including some outstanding character work with the Doctor, Leela, Henry Gordon Jago (Christopher Benjamin) and Professor Litefoot (Trevor Baxter). The two guest stars make for a good double-act, but there is also some really delightful scenes between them and the regulars–I especially enjoy the contrast of manners between Leela and Litefoot. It’s stuff like this that helps make Leela one of my favorite companions.
The story also features some wonderfully-realized period atmosphere. The Victorian setting allows the story to riff on both Sherlock Holmes and Eliza Doolittle, which brings out some fun dynamics with the time travelers. The foggy London streets, the murky sewers, and the old-fashioned theatre…it all looks great and makes the story wonderfully immersive. And Mr. Sin (Deep Roy)–a murderous ventriloquist’s doll–makes for one of the creepier threats the show has offered. And it only gets worse when you find out that he was originally a child’s toy who went evil, partly because it contained part of the brain of a pig!
Having said all that, in the cold light of 2020 there are certainly flaws to the story. The giant rat, unsurprisingly, looks terrible–literally like an oversized stuffed toy. The plot is great but it basically comes to an end after four episodes, artificially extending simply because one of the villainous underlings simply drops an important piece of equipment after stealing something he needed. Some of the fight choreography, especially in later episodes, is pretty badly staged.
And of course, there’s the show’s most notorious problem, which are the uncomfortable cultural depictions of the Chinese: most of the Chinese characters don’t really have a role in the story beyond being shadowy and mysterious killers. Furthermore, the Doctor often agrees (at least tacitly) with the Londoners’ suspicions about them. And at one point, the Doctor is supposed to be speaking Chinese but in reality is spouting a bunch of gibberish. And finally, the one properly developed character, Li H’sen Chang, is played by a white actor. Of course, this is something that was pretty common practice back in the day but that doesn’t prevent it from being pretty awkward now.
Still, the story is a strong one and quite enjoyable, and I think John Bennett’s performance as Chang is quite good. Christopher Benjamin and Trevor Baxter returned to the roles of Jago and Litefoot in a whole bunch of Big Finish audio adventures, with and without the Doctor, Leela and others.
Ultimately, it’s by no means flawless, but still an extremely worthy story.

Lee Bright was speaking with other congressional candidates in Greenville when he said, “You’re either a man or a woman — and if you’re confused, you’ve got an issue with mental illness,” the Greenville News reports.
This isn’t the first time Bright has spoken out on gender identity issues. In 2015, Bright sponsored a “bathroom bill” while serving in the S.C. Senate.
Modeled on a controversial North Carolina law, the bill would have prevented transgender people from using public restrooms for the gender with which they identify.

Beijing, October 21, 2017 : As US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson prepares to visit India next week, China on Saturday warned that it will be deeply offended if any foreign leader meets with or any country invites the Dalai Lama.
On the sidelines of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a Chinese Minister dubbed the Tibetan spiritual leader as a “political figure under the cloak of religion”.
“Any country or any organisation or anyone accepting to meet with the Dalai Lama in our view is a major offence to the sentiment of the Chinese people,” said Zhang Yijiong, Executive Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC).
“Also, since they have committed to recognising China as a sole legitimate government representing China, it contravenes their attempt, because it is a serious commitment,” Zhang added.
China accuses the Dalai Lama of stoking unrest and secessionist activities in Tibet from where the spiritual leader fled to India in 1959 after a failed uprising.
The Dalai Lama has urged for more autonomy for Tibet.
Beijing opposes any country or leader keeping in touch with the Dalai Lama.
“I want to make it clear that the 14th Dalai Lama, the living Buddha handed down by history is a political figure under the cloak of religion,” said Zhang.
In February this year, Tillerson had told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during his confirmation hearing that he is committed to promoting dialogue on Tibet and receiving the Dalai Lama.
Top US Democrat Nancy Pelosi had visited the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, in May, and sought to draw the world’s attention to human rights in Tibet, triggering protests by China.
China resorts to different tactics if any country hosts the Dalai Lama. For instance, Beijing blocked a major highway leading to Mongolia, crippling the economy there after Ulan Bator hosted the leader late last year.
Mongolia later apologised and promised Beijing never to invite the Dalai Lama.
“Officials, in their capacity as officials, attending all foreign-related activities represent their governments. So I hope governments around the world speak and act with caution and give full consideration to their friendship with China and their respect for China’s sovereignty,” Zhang added.
The comments from the Chinese Minister also comes days after Tillersoon described India as a partner in a strategic relationship and said the US would “never have the same relationship with China, a non-democratic society”.
According to reports, last month China refused to fund travel for visiting scholars at University of California, San Diego, apparently in retaliation for inviting the Dalai Lama to be its 2017 commencement speaker.
In April this year, China had reacted violently to a visit by the Dalai Lama to Tawang, in India’s northeast border state of Arunachal Pradesh, large parts of which is claimed by Beijing. (IANS)
New Delhi, July 31, 2017: Tibet is the autonomous region of the Republic of China and due to the Sino-Indian standoff, Tibet is at the heart of political differences between these regions. However, the interview talked majorly about the cultural exchanges between India and Tibet. Upon being asked whether Momo is a Tibetian delicacy or not, Sikyong immediately certified with affirmation, as the term itself suggests meat filled dumpling in Tibet.
“Indeed, the origin of Buddhism and the provenance of the momo can be seen as two immutable truths that bind Tibet and India together forever. Others can claim them and offer seemingly convincing arguments but we know better. Buddhism, taken to Tibet from India from the 7th century onwards–most importantly by monks from the ancient Nalanda university–is now an inextricable part of the Tibetan people. And momos have become as intrinsic a part of India ever since Tibetans and their spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, fled Chinese occupation to seek refuge, appropriately, in the land of Buddha’s birth.” Lobsang Sangay said.
“It may be also germane to remember that at its peak from the 7th to the 9th centuries, the Tibetan Empire was bigger than the Chinese one and extended as far south as Bengal and north to Turkmenistan, Mongolia, and Siberia. Maybe momos traveled along with Tibetan Buddhism to those areas, both morphed into local variants and then journeyed beyond.” He further added.
It was a remarkable revelation that Buddhism culture is more widespread than one would think, fourteen countries being a Buddhist majority, while the total number of Buddhists around the world account for a total of 500 million people who are spread across 52 countries in total. Buddhism is said to have its roots in India, while it’s celebrated around the world and enjoys immense popularity we Indians are yet to embrace the fact that Buddhism, in fact, is an integral part of our culture and to protect the culture is our responsibility.
Not only Tibetian but ancient Buddhist scriptures and commentaries by Indian scholars constitute an inconvertible link between India and Buddhists across Asia. Tibetian scholarly works are majorly based on and influenced by the references in the Indian scriptures, hundreds of books are written and preserved in Tibetian monasteries.
According to Sikyong, Buddhism in Indian origin is not emphasized enough and the links are blinded by the strong Asian narratives compounded by their inexplicable official resistance.
What could be more indicative of this indifference than the lament of a former Sri Lankan envoy to India that precious relics of the Buddha languish in closed quarters at the Indian Museum in Calcutta. We Indians must take pride in our Buddhist heritage too and build on the myriad cultural and emotional links with other nations that it offers, as the benefits are obvious.

Eldorado Cadillac Models & History 1966
1966 Cadillac Eldorado
Littlechange was evident for 1966, the final season for the rear-drive Eldorado. This was a record sales year for Cadillac, its fifth in a row, and 1966 Eldorado production was exceeded only by the 1955 total. And that’s as it should be, for a car with such a great heritage should end on a note of triumph.
But by now, Cadillac had decided it was again time for something truly new. It appeared the following year in the form of the first front-wheel-drive Eldorado, which would set a new standard for personal-luxury transportation. This car would only strengthen Cadillac’s dominance in the upper end of the market. In first-year sales alone it exceeded its predecessor’s combined total for the previous 10.
Nevertheless, this success wouldn’t have been possible had it not been for the memorable Eldorados of the Fifties and early Sixties. With the best of everything Cadillac had to offer in those years, they left an indelible impression in the minds and hearts of owners and would-be owners everywhere, and you can’t ask much more than that.
Fleetwood type trim was seen again on the Eldorado. Equipment additions included white sidewall tires and a six-way power front bench seat. It was to be the last season that conventional engineering characterized this model.
|Model No.||Style No.||Body Type||Seat||Factory Price||Shipping Weight||Production Total|
|Type||V-8 Overhead valves|
|Block||Cast iron block|
|Bore and stroke||104.9mm x 101.6mm|
|Brake horsepower||340 hp @ 4600 rpm|
|Power||255 kW @ 4600 rpm|
|Bearings||Five main bearings|
|Valve Lifters||Hydraulic valve lifters|
|Carburetor||Rochester four-barrel type, model 7026030|
|Automatic level control standard where indicated in text|
|A new engine mounting system and patented quiet exhaust were used|
|Tires||9.00 x 15|

Miles Teller Made Up a Nickname for His Fans
If you ever run into the Whiplash star on the street, here’s why he may point at you and call you a “Peter’s Princess.”
Released on 9/12/2014
Would I like to be, like 27 year-old guy
just at these parties without my grandparents and parents?
Alright, I am finally getting a chance
to sit down with Miles Teller, for Whiplash.
This is great.
I mean the drumming is insane.
I mean I know you probably can't even imagine
that you're still talking about this film,
because you've done so much stuff since,
but you obviously learned to drum like this.
I mean can you tell me a little bit about
getting into that?
Yeah, it's just, I mean, it's so rare to have a movie
where you play an instrument that's not a biopic anymore.
It seems like people just want to make biopics,
and there's not really any movies about music.
I grew up listening to music more than watching films.
When I was fifteen I just asked for a drum set
and started playing in bands and stuff.
And you know, I've always taken my drum set with me.
Like I went to New York,
in my NYU dorm room I had a drum set.
Like I played once and they said,
what are you doin'?
Like you can't play this.
I talked to you for Fantastic Four was it?
Yeah, I had just gotten to Baton Rouge for Fantastic Four.
You're Mr. Fantastic, right?
Or I don't know, what's your key word?
Your words not mine.
I don't know (laughs).
(laughs) Well, your Grandmother's on Twitter I read,
is that really true?
Oh my God!
Is she authenticated?
Yeah, she's up to like 3000 followers.
Literally you probably just bumped her up to 4000
But yeah she's @MupTheQueen,
and she's tweetin' every day.
Do you get recognized on the street?
After Divergent it really picked up steam.
I coined my fans Peter's Princesses,
and so sometimes it'll be like,
I'm a Peter's Princess.
I'm like, yes you are.
And yes, you are.
Oh my God.
It's so funny.

Bidar sedition case: Siddaramaiah detained during protest march
Bengaluru, Feb 15: Several Karnataka Congress leaders, including Siddaramaiah have been detained by police after they tried to take out a protest march to the Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's office, against Bidar sedition case.
"Police is being misused by this government, those who raise their voices against central government and BJP are being booked for sedition. We are going to protest in front of Chief Minister's office," said Dinesh Gundu Rao told ANI.
A court in Bidar in north Karnataka on Friday granted bail to a parent and the headmistress of a school, arrested in the "sedition case'' for their alleged involvement in staging a drama, portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi in poor light in connection with CAA and NRC.
Principal District and Sessions Court Judge granted conditional bail to Nazbunnisa (parent) and Fareeda Begum (headmistress) who were arrested on January 30.
The drama was staged by students of the fourth, fifth and sixth standards on January 21.
Aseditioncase was later booked by police against the school management, along with other sections of IPC on January 26, based on a complaint from social worker Neelesh Rakshyal.

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday imposed a penalty of Rs 10 lakh on Muthoottu Mini Financiers Ltd, a non-banking financial company, for placing misleading advertisements on its website regarding issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs).The company had placed advertisements on its website for public issue of secured, redeemable, NCDs aggregating to Rs 100 crore claiming that the RBI and Sebi have rated its NCD issue as "stable".
"Using the names of the regulators tends to impart a sense of security amongst the investors and thus may lead them to believe that the issue has been rated by the regulators and that, by issuing gives a misleading impression to the public at large," Sebi noted.
By issuing misleading advertisements, the company has contravened provisions of Issue and Listing of Debt Securities Regulations and accordingly monetary penalty has been levied on Muthoottu Mini Financiers.
Over the past few years, the number of women at the junior level has grown. Still, women continue to be underrepresented at the leadership level. Bias impacts women’s day-to-day work experiences and ability to advance. We are discussing the challenges women are facing in the workplace.


Recently there have been some news reports in the professional cleaning industry suggesting that cleaning with hot water, specifically cleaning carpets, results in more effective cleaning.
While I do understand the theory of thermodynamics and technically I agree that in some cases, heat may help cleaning, there are enormous consequences to the use of heat that are not being addressed. Among them are the following:
- The energy and electricity needed to produce the heat. This can be significant and is why some portable extractors require two sources of electricity, one to operate the vacuum system and one to heat the water/solution.
- In some cases and with some types of carpet fibers, heat can actually damage carpets.
- I question how much actual difference the heat makes as many products/extractors lose the heat before it gets to the surface being cleaned.
- And finally, some of today’s modern surfactants perform very well in cold water. Heat is simply not needed.
There are many other issues I can bring up regarding this hot topic, but these are some of my key concerns.

The U.S. Conservation Alliance, founded in 1989 to protect wild places where outdoor enthusiasts recreate, and 77 corporate members from the outdoor, craft beverage, financial and renewable energy sectors have penned a letter to President-elect Joe Biden urging him to take immediate action to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The reason is the holding of a lease sale for drilling rights in the Refuge’s coastal plain by the outgoing Trump administration after decades of efforts by the fossil fuel industry to open the Refuge to oil development.
“Protecting the Arctic Refuge has been a top priority for The Conservation Alliance for decades. As threats to the Refuge increased this year, so did our advocacy. It’s encouraging to see so many of our business members across different industries […] joining forces to advocate for the protection of the Refuge,” said Brady Robinson, executive director of The Conservation Alliance. “Our members understand that protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is not just an environmental fight, it’s about combating climate change, growing sustainable economies, and advocating for human rights.”
First established as the Arctic National Wildlife Range in 1960, Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower protected the Arctic ecosystem north and south of the iconic Brooks Range, including the Coastal Plain. In 1980, Congress expanded President Eisenhower’s Arctic Range and formally established the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, thereby legally closing the Coastal Plain to oil development.
In December 2017, President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed into law with a provision to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’s Coastal Plain to oil and gas extraction. Since then, the Trump administration has been working aggressively to expedite leasing the Coastal Plain to oil developers. The Conservation Alliance supported efforts to restore protections for the Refuge through the legislative process, and hold the Trump administration accountable during its hurried process to exploit the Refuge. Now, with just two weeks until President-elect Biden’s inauguration, leases to drill in the Coastal Plain are being offered to developers.
“We look forward to working with President-elect Biden and his choice for Secretary of Interior, Deb Haaland, to halt development in the Refuge and permanently protect this awe-inspiring landscape,” said Kirsten Blackburn, advocacy manager for The Conservation Alliance.

"I wrote it when I was 3," says the Ray star, whose Oscar date will be his daughter
With three Golden Globe nominations to his name, and this week four Screen Actors Guild Award nominations, Jamie Foxx is on a roll – with Oscars oddsmakers favoring the Ray star to take home the Best Actor prize come Feb. 27.
Which begs the question: Is his Oscar speech ready?
“I wrote it when I was 3,” the actor, who turned 37 on Dec. 13 (the day the Globe nominations were announced), tells GQ magazine for its February issue.
Although Foxx had been making a name for himself in Hollywood since appearing on FOX’s In Living Color in 1990, his more recent successes – the Ray Charles biopic and costarring with Tom Cruise in Collateral – has catapulted him to a new level (including the purchase of a new yellow Bentley), which, Foxx tells journalist Lisa DePaulo, is putting a crimp in his partying ways.
“With this Ray Charles thing,” he says, “I gotta change. Things are changing.” This includes, the profile says, no longer taking young reporters out on all-night drinking binges. “You have to be careful,” Foxx declares, “because you don’t want anything bad to happen now” that the Oscar ballots are out.
The article also says that Foxx rarely sees his father, a Muslim who lives in Dallas, because, says a friend, the father’s “religion keeps them apart.” Foxx also has a daughter he dotes on: Corinne, 11, who was born during a brief relationship.
And it will be Corinne, GQ reports, who will be Foxx’s date at the Oscars.

Unmasking the White-faced Capuchin Monkeys’ Thieving Adventures
The mesmerizing world of “white-faced capuchin monkeys”, is known for their antics and mischief.
Imagine you’re traipsing through the luscious forests of Central and South America, the home to the notorious “white-faced capuchin monkeys”. Picture a creature with a mask of white fur delicately framing its face, setting a stunning contrast against its black body. Yup, you’ve got it right; that’s the mysterious little prankster we’re talking about. These critters are as smart as they are cute, exhibiting a kind of intelligence that sometimes seems almost human.
So, why are we fascinated with them? Well, apart from their obvious charismatic appearance, these monkeys are a curious bunch. Picture a little monkey sailing through the canopy of trees with swift agility, eyes always on the prize, be it a juicy fruit hanging high up or, unfortunately, the shiny belongings of a distracted tourist. Yes, these little beings have mastered the art of thievery to perfection, earning them the title of the master thieves of the jungle.
Now, one might wonder, what drives these mischievous acts? Well, survival, of course. Living in the wild teaches you to be resourceful and to grab every opportunity that comes your way. These monkeys are a testament to this, with keen observational skills and quick reflexes that help them snatch what they desire before you can even blink.
But hey, these aren’t just any thieves; we’re talking about creatures with a strategy, a plan, a mind that understands value, and even trades. It’s like a bustling marketplace in the monkey world, with goods (often stolen) being exchanged for better food or other essentials. They’ve got it all figured out, showcasing deep understanding and economic sense that could rival a bustling human market.
Diving deeper into the social dynamics of these creatures, it is mesmerizing to witness their strong sense of community. There’s a leader, the alpha, guiding them in their endeavors, be it a strategic theft or nurturing the young ones in the group. It’s a harmonious society built on mutual respect, trust, and intelligence, a testimony to their highly evolved survival tactics in the wild.
But it’s not all fun and games in the world of white-faced capuchin monkeys. The threat of habitat destruction due to relentless deforestation hangs heavily over their playful paradise. That’s where the conservation warriors step in, doing all they can to protect the home of these intelligent beings. It’s a mission to preserve the shenanigans and heartwarming communal bonds of the capuchin monkeys for future generations.
I can’t help but marvel at the mesmerizing journey we’ve embarked on through the world of the white-faced capuchin monkeys. Their intelligent and at times kleptomaniac behaviors have left us spellbound, painting a rich story of life that is full of adventures, camaraderie, and an unyielding spirit of survival. So here’s to the fascinating world of capuchin monkeys, a world that is as rich in stories as it is in spirit.

Order Management connects functionalities belonging to several modules of the INSIO platform to be able to manage orders from one place starting with the offer, to the preparing the contract, purchase orders, budgets, implementation, invoices, and all other items associated with this.
- Well-organized records of company orders
- As part of registration, it is possible to set the following parameters: what data will be registered with orders for your purposes, such as the order name, person ordering, order number or its priority, and/or the structure (e.g. what the order numbers should look like)
- Connection to the Tasks module – for the created order, relevant employees can be set tasks related to the order implementation
- Connection to the Statement of Work module – the implemented work for the given order can be recorded in the statement of work directly with the order
- Easy search for the recorded orders based on various criteria – for example, the current status of the order, its number or name
- It is possible to assign to employees various access rights for the orders already created – for example access to only the orders where the respective employee is specified, or access to all orders
Imagine an intuitive process for ordering goods and services, from the request, its internal approval, creating the order, to invoicing – all in accordance with the terms and conditions and limits in one place, easily and with connected to other system.
For example, the user requests for ordering office supplies or some other material. The request form will pass the approval workflow up to the creation of the purchase order. The workflow, as in the other parts of the system, is fully adaptable to your processes.
Request forms can be processed either by the HelpDesk module, i.e. using a two-way communication channel (with less specific request forms), or directly in the Purchase Orders module where you can utilize a separate agenda (numerical row) called “Request Forms”.
After approval, the request form process continues with creating an order. The Purchase Orders module also allows you to work with the approval workflow. After approving the order, the system itself generates the order in PDF according to the template and sends it to the supplier for payment. The workflow of purchase orders may not end by mere sending the purchase order to the supplier. It may continue to possible statuses “Goods supplied” or “Invoice received”. From the purchase order, the system refers to the invoice that is related to the purchase order and it is registered in the system as “Invoice received”.
Manage your contractual relationships and contracts with partners using the INSIO system. Register basic information on your partner and contract, such as its type, subject-matter, validity and effect, and much more.
Any number of documents can be added to the contract card. Thanks to the functionality of primary and secondary contracts, you can manage the life cycle as well as addenda to your contracts. Similarly, as in the case of the other modules, the contracts work with workflows. This means that the contract can be prepared by the administrative support, the accounting department can approve it before it is submitted to the manager or other competent person for final approval. For every supply contract, you can set a limit that is then monitored within the framework of purchase orders. You cannot create a purchase order in excess of the limit set for the contract. For contracts, it is possible to set notifications for the approaching end of validity or effect.
Approval of invoices
After the goods have been supplied, the partner sends the invoice that can be entered in the “Approving invoices” module either manually or in electronic form (OCR mining). The invoice itself can be uploaded into the system in the PDF format.
When approving invoices, you can again set up the workflow process according to your needs. If the invoice shows the order number, the system pairs the order with the received invoice, compares the amount, and if these amounts are equal, sends the invoice for processing.
If the sums stated in the invoice and purchase order differ, approval is performed by alternative means and the invoice can be approved by for example the ordering person.
After the invoice has been approved, the assessment of its formal correctness is usually done by the accountant. If the accountant approves the invoice, the invoice can be exported to the customer’s accounting system via the integration interface.
The warehouse with all relevant information available. Register easily and have all information about warehouse management, inventory level, inventory location, etc. at hand.
The system allows you to issue stock receipt forms/stock release forms, reporting, financial evaluation of the warehouse, evaluation within the framework of business cases and for example warehouse preliminary evaluation and subsequent corrections based on received invoices as well.
We also support special registers, such as mobile handy warehouses or order-related warehouses where goods and material can be stocked up in direct relation to a contract/order.
Connection with the Order and Received Invoices modules is a matter of course.
- Stock receipt forms
- Stock release forms
- Stock transfer forms
- Stock cards

The diverse cultures of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) are celebrated this month as we recognize their contributions across the nation and in our own community. AAPI encompasses the cultures from the Asian continent, including East, Southeast and South Asia and the Pacific Islands. In Alexandria City Public Schools, 5.6% of our students are Asian and fewer than 1% are Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.
As Afghanistan is referred to as the Heart of Asia, a new student organization within Alexandria City High School (ACHS) is called the Heart of Asia Afghan Club. “I believe that the importance of the Heart of Asia club is to keep our culture and traditions alive in our second country and the important part is to share it with other communities who are seeing only the dark side of Afghanistan as a war-torn country,” explains student member Zahra Rahimi. She says the group provides an outlet for young Afghan girls to share their voices with the community and the experiences they had in Afghanistan as Afghan girls. The club reaches out to the community by providing monthly presentations at school about Afghan culture to include historical places, traditional foods, music, clothes and sports. Programs also include speeches about the difficulties that Afghan girls have faced in Afghanistan, including not having the right to an education. The students also address how they are improving their lives by the opportunities now afforded to them in the U.S.
Kim-Anh Aslanian, who heads the Asian Pacific Islander Student Union at ACHS says, “being able to have a voice through a club that is entirely focused on identity and inclusion can be very impactful on a school-wide scale.” She is pleased by the response to this new club in the high school and the opportunity they have been given to attend cultural events hosted by leadership, view presentations from exchange students and form a social media account. To Aslanian, it is important, in a large school, to have “a space where you can find other students like yourself.”
In celebrating AAPI Month, Alexandria City Library provides book and database recommendations, local resources and starting points for browsing books and DVDs by and about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Various events, including Take and Make crafts for children ages 3-12 are also offered. Michelle Biwer, Beatley Central Library youth services manager, encourages families to attend library events for all ages and check out amazing books, ebooks and movies by and about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders all year.
“Whether you are interested in learning a new language, traveling with a book or just trying to finish that homework assignment, Alexandria Library is a one-stop shop,” says Biwer. “We strive to build community by providing opportunities to learn, explore and connect with one another.” Through the ConnectEd program all ACPS students have an Alexandria Library card automatically issued to them, providing a great way to learn more about the world around them.

text: In Germany, the number of overweight children and adolescents is increasing. The increase in the prevalence of obesity shows considerable regional differences. Related to recent German reference data with an expected prevalence of 3%, we find today in some regions a prevalence of 7% in 5- to 6-year-olds and 8% in 13- to 15-year-olds. While the reasons for this development are not fully clear, it may be assumed that the increase in physical inactivity, together with the ready availability of an abundance of high-energy foods are significant contributing factors. A large percentage of children and adolescents suffering from obesity also have considerable co-morbidity. It is to be expected that this will in the future considerably increase the financial burden on public health care and society as a whole. Effective prevention and therapeutic countermeasures are necessary to deal with this problem.

Fox News contributor Deneen Borelli criticized the Democratic National Convention for using race card politics on Fox News at Night with host Shannon Bream on Fox News.
With the Democratic National Convention taking place this week, Deneen pointed out that Democrats are desperate for black voter support which is why race rhetoric is a constant part of their messaging at election time.
Deneen said that “black voters are not all that thrilled with Democrat politicians,” and highlighted President Trump’s accomplishments for black Americans especially, record low unemployment prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and Opportunity Zones in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
According to Rasmussen Reports daily tracking of President Trump, Deneen said, “likely black voter support for President Trump is anywhere from 30 percent to 40 percent.”
Following the announcement of California Democrat Senator Kamala Harris as Joe Biden’s VP running mate, Rasmussen Reports also notes 32 percent of likely black voters are less likely to vote for Biden because of Harris.

What is a colonoscopy/ gastroscopy?
Colonoscopy and gastroscopy are commonly performed procedures used to examine the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract.
Colonoscopes/ gastroscopes are long flexible fibre-optic instruments with a small lens on the tip. In colonoscopy, the colonoscope is passed through the anus and guided around the colon. In gastroscopy, a gastroscope is passed through the mouth, oesophagus and stomach into the first part of the small bowel.
They provide excellent viewing of the inner lining of the gastrointestinal tract and are useful to exclude serious upper and lower gastrointestinal issues such as polyps, cancer and inflammatory conditions. Any abnormalities may be biopsied and/or removed.
There are several indications for investigation with colonoscopy and/ or gastroscopy. Your General Practitioner and/ or your specialist will advise you on the need for these investigative procedures.
Patients with a family history of bowel cancer, or a personal history of inflammatory bowel disease or polyps, may require regular screening with colonoscopy. Any patient with symptoms such as a persisting alteration in bowel function, rectal bleeding or anaemia should be seen by a doctor to assess the need for colonoscopy. Those with a positive bowel screening stool test should also be considered for colonoscopy.
Preparing your bowel for colonoscopy
Colonoscopy requires bowel preparation to allow visualisation of the inner lining of the bowel. This involves a clear liquid diet and drinking a laxative solution in the 24 hours prior to your procedure.
You will be required to purchase the bowel preparation (laxative solution) from your pharmacy, and instructions on how to prepare your bowel are outlined in the link below. Admission and fasting times are also provided at the time of booking .
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure is usually performed as a day surgery procedure in a Day Procedure unit. The procedure is performed under sedation or anaesthesia with an anaesthetist present. The test itself takes about twenty to thirty minutes to perform.
You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure and you will not be able to work or drive until the following day. Dr Kozman will speak to you at the completion of the procedure and a written report will be provided.
If any abnormality is noted at colonoscopy it may be possible to biopsy or remove this at the time. Any tissue that is removed will be sent to the pathologist and analysed. It may take up to seventy-two hours to get pathology results.
What are the risks?
Colonoscopy is a safe procedure but is associated with small risks. These include adverse reactions to the bowel preparation, such as dizziness and dehydration, and complications relating to the anaesthetic/ sedative medication administered during the procedure.
If biopsies are taken or polyps are removed there is a small chance of bleeding which may occur up to 1-2 weeks after the procedure. The most significant and serious risk of colonoscopy is colonic perforation. Up to 1 in a 2000 patients undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy may suffer perforation of the colon where a hole is made in the bowel wall allowing gas or faecal material into the abdominal cavity. This may require admission to hospital, antibiotic treatment, and in some circumstances, even major bowel surgery.
Colonoscopy is an extremely accurate test but small polyps may not be seen. The risk of missing a significant polyp or cancer is extremely small, and may be dependent on the quality of the bowel preparation.
More information regarding colonoscopy and gastroscopy can be found under the Treatments menu of this website, or by clicking the following links:
This is a radiological method of assessing the colon. It can be an alternative to colonoscopy in some specific situations. It still requires preparation of the bowel. A CT scan is performed after insufflation of air into the colon through the anus. Abnormal findings usually require further investigation with conventional colonoscopy (as outline above).

Opposition Says Elections Are Unacceptable
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has announced that parliamentary elections will begin in April 27, the first election since the approval of the constitution. The election will, as with past ones, take a staggered regional approach, and won’t be completed until late June.
Opposition parties were quick to issue a condemnation of the plan, saying that any elections at all are unacceptable until Morsi accepts demands to include them in an interim cabinet. Morsi has declined to appoint any cabinet at all until there are actual elections behind it, saying the new government needs the “legitimacy of the ballot box” after the Mubarak regime’s rule.
Egypt’s military has recently been condemning Morsi more often, and concerns that they may soon launch a coup likely fueled the rush to elections, though Morsi has so many opponents these days that either a decision to hold them or delay them was bound to provoke condemnation.
The last parliamentary election saw Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) winning a large plurality, but that parliament was disbanded by the junta almost immediately thereafter. With a constitution in place, the next vote seems like it will count, assuming the military doesn’t seize power outright, and the FJP is expected to once again do well, though the opposition does seem better organized now than they were in the last vote.

NAGPUR: Former union minister Vilas Muttemwar has reiterated his demand for Vidarbha's statehood in a letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi as the party celebrates its 125th anniversary. The MP has said that it is high time to respect the aspirations of Vidarbhaites by giving them statehood.
Congratulating the senior leadership, Muttemwar mentioned that India's oldest party had always respected the aspirations and sentiments of the common people. He said that the announcement of Telangana state had rekindled hopes of crores of people in this region.
Justifying his demand, the ex-minister for renewable energy said the long-pending demand for separate Vidarbha was older than Telangana and a number of senior leaders, MPs, legislators and grass-root level workers belonging to this region had advocated restoration of statehood.
The six-time MP said the separate state demand was not a knee-jerk reaction due to events in Telangana, but it was studied demand, recommended by various authorities and committees set up by the government and the Congress party internally for over 120 years. "In 1888, the British administration recommended formation of Vidarbha state to then commissionerate. In 1918, the constitutional review committee, the Dar committee and JVP panel had agreed to grant it statehood. In 1955, the States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) comprising Justice Fazal Ali and Pandit Karzuru had unanimously recommended carving out Vidarbha state as it would be viable, stable and surplus," Muttemwar wrote.
He added that in 1988, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had realised the injustice meted out to the region had appointed now NCP leader PA Sangma to ascertain the feasibility of restoring statehood and, interestingly, he had also recommended its separation.
In 1996, a delegation of senior Congress leaders including working committee members and AICC general secretaries like Ahmed Patel, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Meira Kumar, K Karunakaran, Rajesh Pilot, Balram Jakhar, Mukul Wasnik, Vasant Sathe, NKP Salve, Sudhakarrao Naik and several prominent leaders from Vidarbha, besides Muttemwar had met with then PM HD Deve Gowda and submitted a representation for restoration of Vidarbha's statehood as recommended by SRC.
Muttemwar, the three-time MP from Nagpur, tried to remind Gandhi that it was due to her initiative that a panel under Pranab Mukherjee was set up in 2002 to once again consider the formation of Vidarbha and Telangana. Since, the statehood for Telangana had been announced, justice should be done with the people of this region, who've always stood by the Congress through thick and thin, he said.
Deliberating on the problems, Muttemwar said Vidarbha was not able to develop economically despite being part of a progressive state like Maharashtra. This was evident from the fact that over 7,000 farmers committed suicides due to lack of irrigation facilities.
Further, five districts were facing problems of Naxal-infestation, besides numerous other problems like unemployment, load-shedding and lack of industries. "It's now impossible to get developed by remaining in Maharashtra. The people are not separatists or destructive minded. However, if it is neglected further, the people could go to any possible extent to fight for their rights," he warned.
He also expressed apprehensions that opposition parties like the BJP will capitalise on sentiments and the Congress will stand to lose its base in the region, besides causing embarrassment to the party leaders and grass-root workers.
