PAUL SOLMAN: How many of you are expecting when you retire to get some Social Security benefits?
A student poll we took recently at Boston’s Bunker Hill Community College.
Any of you expecting to get no Social Security benefits? One, two, three, four people who don’t even think they’re going to get any Social Security benefits.
In their mid-20s, on average, almost all the students here work and pay into the Social Security system, in which they don’t seem to have the greatest confidence.
STUDENT: As I see it, it’s going to be broke, totally broke.
PAUL SOLMAN: Let me ask one more question. How many of you think you will get as much money in retirement as I’m going to get? How many of you think you’re going to get less than I get? Everybody. So that’s the context —
Context, that is, for economist Alicia Munnell, an expert on retirement issues, whom we’d brought to this class to explain one of the proposed changes in Social Security benefits: Raising the retirement age. What did she think of the students’ predictions?
ALICIA MUNNELL, Boston College: I think the notion that they’re going to get less than you is probably realistic. The idea that you’re going to get none is not very realistic.
PAUL SOLMAN: Munnell then summarized why Social Security may well pay less to these folks than to current retirees. But if they’d been listening to President Bush’s State of the Union address, they’d have heard the same thing. When Social Security was adopted in the 1930s, he explained…
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: About 16 workers paid into the system for each person drawing benefits. In today’s world, people are living longer, and therefore drawing benefits longer, and those benefits are scheduled to rise dramatically over the next few decades.
And instead of sixteen workers paying in for every beneficiary, right now it’s only about three workers — and over the next few decades, that number will fall to just two workers per beneficiary.
PAUL SOLMAN: Retirees are living longer, and, the president might have added, fewer kids are being born and entering the work force to support retirees.
ALICIA MUNNELL: So we’re going to have a lot of people who are going to be getting benefits and fewer people who are going to be paying taxes into the program.
PAUL SOLMAN: When Social Security was enacted in 1935, the retirement age was set at 65, the prevailing age used by pension systems at the time. Back then, a man aged 65 was expected to live another dozen years till age 77, and a woman till age 79.
But today, a 65-year-old man can be expected to live another 16 years into his early 80s, and a woman to make it another 19, to age 84. That’s a huge increase. Small wonder, then, that some are proposing to raise the retirement age — beyond, that is, what’s already been done.
ALICIA MUNNELL: What we have is changes that were enacted in 1983 being phased in, so the age at which you get full benefits is moving from 65 to 67. It already is going to be 66, I think, by the time Paul retires.
PAUL SOLMAN: Right.
ALICIA MUNNELL: And then…
PAUL SOLMAN: And I’m 60 now, so I’ll be able to collect full benefits in six years.
ALICIA MUNNELL: And then it stays at 66 for a while, and then it starts moving up two months a year to 67. And there are these proposals floating around to make it 69, 70.
PAUL SOLMAN: Right now, the official retirement age is scheduled to level off at 67 in 2027. But if it were raised faster and further — say, to 71 by 2040, 75 a few decades later — the system would actually save so much money paying lower benefits, the entire Social Security shortfall would be covered.
Now, as it happens, most people retire before the official retirement age — almost half at age 62, when reduced benefits first become available.
ALICIA MUNNELL: A lot of people have very crummy jobs. And as soon as they have some money available, they want to stop working.
PAUL SOLMAN: But if the retirement age were further extended, benefits at age 62 would presumably be reduced or the age of early retirement raised from 62. In either case, you’d still get lower benefits. That said, we put the question to the students.
PAUL SOLMAN: At 2050 when you retire, should — how many people would think it was fair, okay, with them for the retirement age to be older than 67 at that point? How many people — hands up if you would? Is that because your shoulders are broken, or is that — How many people think it would not be fair?
Every hand went up. So I decided to play devil’s advocate and make the case for raising the retirement age.
You’re going to live longer. That to me means you should take full retirement benefits later. What’s wrong? What am I missing? Yeah.
STUDENT: We may be living longer, but not everybody will be healthy enough to keep on working as much as they need to, to make up for the extended years. They’re going to be more tired. They’re not going to be as energetic as they were a few years before. So if you extend that, how are we going to deal with that?
STUDENT: Right now I can work 40 hours. But later on, maybe I can only work 20 hours. I don’t know. Even if I live longer, that doesn’t mean I can work harder and longer.
PAUL SOLMAN: But wait a minute. Living longer implies living healthier longer. Social Security’s actuaries have done the longevity numbers.
ALICIA MUNNELL: And they think these guys are going to live till they’re about 87.
PAUL SOLMAN: According to Richard Suzman at the National Institutes of Health, U.S. life expectancy has been rising.
RICHARD SUZMAN: Three months a year for the last 150, 160 years.
PAUL SOLMAN: Three months a year, and it shows no signs of no signs of stopping.
RICHARD SUZMAN: Nobody knows when the trend is going to level off, and obviously there must be some point at which it levels off.
PAUL SOLMAN: For example, we haven’t yet seen the effects of molecular medicine, stem cell research, or, says Suzman, the possibility…
RICHARD SUZMAN: Of finding mechanisms to slow the aging process.
PAUL SOLMAN: And then all bets would be off.
RICHARD SUZMAN: And then, many, many, many bets are off.
PAUL SOLMAN: In which case, these students could expect to live well into their 90s or beyond. But maybe the perception of increased longevity is what has them worried. What if the government starts raising the age of retirement, and then raises it some more?
STUDENT: And who’s to say that they stop, that eventually it’s not when you’re 120, okay, you can collect full benefits? You know, who’s to say that it will never stop, and then they’ll, you know, just systematically phase it out, and then nobody collects Social Security?
PAUL SOLMAN: So some fear the precedent of raising the retirement age. But there was also a more basic objection: What good is living longer if you have to keep working?
STUDENT: Obviously, none of us know that, how long we can live. So we work until 62, more than 40 years. And I think that that’s the right time to stop working and begin to enjoy our life.
PAUL SOLMAN: And there, in a sound bite, is what seems to be the main problem with making up the Social Security shortfall by raising the retirement age: A seemingly inviolate notion of when the golden years begin.
ALICIA MUNNELL: But if we can get a mindset so that later retirement becomes acceptable, really later retirement, then you could possibly move the retirement age, normal retirement age, the way you want. But right now you can’t.
PAUL SOLMAN: Which may help explain why the American public has yet to embrace this and other benefit changes to Social Security as they know it.

It’s very frustrating to wait for your game to load. Whether you are looking for ways to make Minecraft run faster or want to improve the performance of your game, this article has all the tips you need.
Before trying out the tips in the article, ensure that your computer meets the requirements (which will be discussed further). This article will give you a step-by-step guide on how to make Minecraft run faster without Optifine in 2 ways.
Table of Contents
Minecraft Minimum System Requirements.
The best way to reduce lag is to configure the correct video settings. I will tell you more about the video settings in the article. The second way to boost Minecraft performance is to Optimize your computer. Make Minecraft run faster without Optifine in two ways:
- Change Minecraft Settings
- Optimize Your Computer
How To Make Minecraft Run Faster Without Optifine?
Two ways can help you to run Minecraft faster without Optifine. One is by changing Minecraft settings, and the second is Optimizing your Computer. Using these ways, you can easily optimize your PC and boost your FPS up to a playable frame rate without lags.
How To Change Your Minecraft Settings
Apart from optimizing your computer, you can also change your game settings. Tweaking the settings is the most straightforward way to make the game run faster. You can lower or turn off the game settings to speed up the game.
Optimize Minecraft Video Settings
Although fancy video settings enable you to access nice graphics, it also has its downward side. Such settings make your computer work with more staff, thus lowering the game speed. You should lower the video settings to enjoy a smooth gaming experience with Minecraft.
There are plenty of options in this step. First, click on Video Settings Then:
- Turn Biome blend off
- Turn Fullscreen On
- Set Graphics as fast
- Toggle off Smooth lighting
- Turn off Clouds
- Set the Entity distance to 50%
- Set the Render distance to a lower chunk, i.e., to 6 chunks, four or even 2 chunks.
- Turn off 3D Anaglyph
- Turn off Use VSync
- Turn on View Bobbling
- Lower Max Framerate
Now play your game to check on the effect.
Use Default Package
The resource packages lower the speed of the game since they are loaded into RAM. For this reason, you should use the basic package which can meet your basic needs. To choose the default package:
- Launch your game and click on Options > Resource packs > Default.
- Click on Done and play the game.
Turn Off Minecraft Sounds
If you want your Minecraft to be faster, you can turn off the sound in the game. Although you may feel a little quiet, it is necessary. To speed up Minecraft by turning off sound:
- Go to Options > Music & Sounds.
- Turn off music and sound.
- Now play the game and check the effect.
Lower The Game Resolution in Minecraft
Although this will make the game window smaller, it will help improve the game performance. To change the Minecraft game resolution:
- Launch your Minecraft game.
- Click on the three-dotted menu button at the top right corner of your screen.
- Select Launch options > Advanced Settings > Add New.
- After adding a name, click on Resolution.
- Adjust the size to your liking, then save your settings.
- Head over to the News tab and click on the arrow button beside the Play feature to choose the name you added and play with the new Resolution.
- Hit Play and check.
How To Optimize Your Computer
Like any other Minecraft fanatic, you want your game to run fast and not experience lags when loading or playing. Luckily, you can optimize your computer to achieve this.
Ways in which you can optimize your computer for a smooth gaming experience include:
Set Java as High Priority
Java is an essential Minecraft software, and thus, giving it enough room to run smoothly helps Minecraft run faster. Follow these steps:
- Click on Ctrl + Shift + Esc at the same time to open the task manager.
- Select details.
- Right-click on Java, select Set priority > High.
Allocate More Ram to Minecraft
Minecraft runs in the RAM (Random Access Memory); this is an internal memory that stores data temporarily between the CPU and the hard disk. You can increase the speed of Minecraft by giving the game more RAM in the following steps:
- First, check your installed memory to see how much RAM space you have.
- Launch Minecraft and click on the three-dotted menu button at the top right corner.
- Then select Launch options > Advanced settings > Add new.
- Add a Name, then click JVM arguments.
- Allocate more RAM to your game. You can do this by changing the Xmx2G into Xmx4G. You can change 2 into 4 or 6 to meet your preference and save your settings.
- Now choose the name you add and play to check.
You can also:
- Plug your laptop into a power source. GPU and CPU need enough power to work and increase performance fully.
- Close unnecessary programs running in the background to help the game run faster
- Update your graphics card driver.
Complete Video On How To Make Minecraft Run Faster Without Optifine
A visual explanation can also make an immense difference; you can watch this Youtube Video to get a complete idea of what settings to change to optimize your PC so that you can run Minecraft faster without the help of Optifine.
What does Xmx2G mean?
Xmx2G means that the maximum amount of RAM allocated to Minecraft is 2 gigabytes.
Can I change Xmx2G into Xmx8G?
To increase the RAM allocated to your game, you can change two into 4, 6, or even 8 as you like. Nevertheless, you can never dedicate more RAM than you’ve installed on your computer. Ideally, there is no need to devote more than 75% of your RAM to the game.
No Minecraft fanatic loves lag. So, this article gives you incredible tips to make Minecraft faster and smoother without Optifine! Yay!
To reduce lag and get the best FPS on Minecraft, the best way to achieve great speed is to configure the correct Minecraft video settings. In addition, you can also Optimize your computer. Get the best gaming experience at Minecraft without using Optifine.
Optifine is really one of the best Minecraft mods, and if you want to know about it entirely, you can check out this step-by-step guide on installing Optfine in Minecraft.
After installing Optifine, your game’s FPS will boost up only if you configure Optifine Settings correctly. And I’ve also published an article on this topic; you can refer to that here – Make Minecraft Run Faster With Optifine.

Auto Tech Outlook | Monday, May 20, 2019
FREMONT, CA – Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the business world, contributing trillions to the global economy. The adoption of AI has boosted numerous industries over the years, and the supply chain is one of them. Effective deployment of AI offers precision and agility to supply chain management, no matter the sector. The industries that had implemented AI and machine learning (ML) early on reported a booming rise in efficiency and drop in costs, not to mention the reduction in safety risks.
AI in the supply chain can be used to empower drones to manage inventory and guide automated supply carts inside the warehouse. AI can handle vast amounts of data with ease, saving time as well as effort. It can ensure better connectivity from end to end of the supply chain. AI combined with ML can also be used to analyze and track information, resolve errors, and forecast end results. The implementation of AI has delivered proven results of optimization across the industries. Organizations that hesitate to implement the modern AI and ML driven technologies will inevitably lag, surrendering their competitive edge to the tech-savvy industries.
The natural language processing (NLP) is another significant breakthrough in AI and ML. It enables a computer to comprehend human speech and interact with humans. This technology offers promise in reducing administrative overhead in the supply chain sector. It can also eliminate language barriers and strengthen supplier relations, facilitating seamless communication in a variety of situations.
Supply chain sector can leverage AI for planning and scheduling container transportation routes during unstable weather conditions. AI and ML will enable accurate forecasting and quick rerouting whenever required, reducing the loss of time and assets.
The biggest challenge during the implementation of AI is the training and skill development of the workforce. The employees will require a good knowledge of AI tools and operations to realize the full potential of AI integration. Often, organizations forego the task of training, and hire external talent or buy AI capabilities from large tech firms.
The integration of AI, ML, and automation has helped supply chain organization reap significant benefits. Automation has also enabled the generation of new data that can be leveraged to enhance the existing technology. The data generated through ML will help in closing the gaps in AI technology to push supply chain management to the next level.


Google to Develop Self-Driving Taxis with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Auto Alliance
【Summary】The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, one of the world’s biggest auto groups, is reported to be working with Alphabet Inc’s Waymo division to develop autonomous taxis and other mobility services in Asia.
The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, one of the world's biggest auto groups, is reported to be working with Alphabet Inc's Waymo division to develop autonomous taxis and other mobility services using self-driving vehicles, the Nikkei reported on Tuesday.
Waymo will work with the carmakers and announce a plan for the arrangement as early as this spring, the business daily reported.
The partners are considering the joint development of unmanned robo-taxis using Nissan vehicles, as well as a system that handles reservation and payments, Nikkei said.
A spokesman at the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance Nick Twork denied the partnership saying in an emailed statement that "This (Nikkei) story is based on rumors and speculation. We have nothing to announce."
Google's Waymo also declined to comment.
Waymo is considered the industry leader in autonomous driving technology. The deal with the auto alliance might provide access into the competitive Asian ride-hailing market currently dominated by Grab, Southeast Asia's largest ride-hailing company.
Waymo is already working with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Jaguar Land Rover. The Chrysler Pacifica minivans supplied by FCA are being used by Waymo One, the company's recently launched robotaxi service in the Phoenix Metro Area. Waymo plans to expand it autonomous taxi service to other cities in the near future.
In March 2018, Waymo said it was looking to add another 20,000 Jaguar I-Pace electric SUVs for use in its autonomous ride-hailing service.
Waymo outfits each of the vehicles for its autonomous ride-hailing service with its own suite of self-driving hardware and might do the same for Nissan, Renault or Mitsubishi vehicles.
Asia is the world's largest ride-hailing market. according to ABI Research's newest study on mobility. Out of the 16 billion ride-hailing trips that were completed worldwide in 2017, over 70 percent were completed in Asia, mosty by Singapore's Grab.
Uber sold its ride-hailing business in the region to Grab in 2018 and it looks like Waymo might be ready to move in.

Your Cart is Currently Empty
Religious bigotry leads to religious persecution – and the level of religious bigotry that exists in modern American society is palpable. If you don’t believe it, then you have your head stuck in the sand.
Are you aware that in the 2012 Democrat Party platform, they literally removed the word “God” because they specifically didn’t want to acknowledge Him in their platform document?
Are you aware that at the 2016 Democrat Party convention, a large contingent of delegates loudly heckled a preacher as he was delivering a prayer for them
Now you may immediately be wondering why in the world I am bringing up politics – and several year old politics, at that. Well, I am not. I have not said anything about politics. What I have mentioned is a group of people who were, themselves, engaged in political activity, but what I have spoken of is not a political matter, it is a religious one.
There is a reason, though, that I have brought this up in this context. The reason is that the people who lead in the political arena have the power to suppress people they don’t agree with if they choose to do so. Sadly, when it comes to the matter of religious liberty, it is people in the Democrat Party who have chosen to try and suppress those they disagree with. And while they may look at it as a political matter, it is actually a spiritual one.
Let me illustrate this further. When the U.S. Senate was holding a confirmation hearing for Brian Buescher to become a judge for the U.S. District Court in Nebraska in early 2020, two senators asked questions that betrayed a huge religious bigotry. As it turns out, Buescher is a committed Roman Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus – a Catholic charitable organization. Mazie Hirono, Democrat from Hawaii, and Kamala Harris, Democrat from California, asked him if he would end his membership in the Knights of Columbus should he be confirmed. Their stated reason for asking this had to do with the fact that the Roman Catholic church is anti-abortion and believes in traditional marriage. To them, these Christian beliefs were disqualifying for a judge. In other words, “Christians need not apply” for public service in America. (And this is just one example of this kind of political bullying. MANY more could be listed.)
Interestingly, many of the people who are on this anti-Christian crusade don’t seem to recognize the religious nature of their own beliefs. They, like the two senators mentioned above, honestly believe that since they don’t believe in God, that they are not religious. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth. They may not believe in God (or at least the God of the Bible), but they do believe in something – and whatever it is, they believe it by faith as a matter of religious conviction. The pro-abortion belief is a religious belief. The belief that non-traditional family structures are right is a religious belief. These people are not merely trying to, as they often claim, separate church and state. No, they are trying to institute their own religious faith as the default basis for the moral belief foundation of American society.
The problem, though, is not simply in the fact that they have a different faith. Other faiths have pretty much always existed to some degree in American society. The problem is that these anti-Christian politicians are trying to promote their faith by forcing Christians to renounce their’s. And in the incident mentioned above, they were trying to do it using bullying tactics in a situation where they held levers of power. This is full blown religious bigotry – and full blown religious persecution.
It really doesn’t surprise me to see this kind of thing happening. It is certainly greatly disappointing, but not surprising. It is not surprising because what these senators (and others like them) are doing is completely consistent with the naturalistic worldview they hold. They cling to a set of beliefs that embrace the Law of the Jungle, and whose ethic is based on “the ends justifies the means.” In other words, they believe that if they have the power to enforce their own beliefs and preferences, they think it is perfectly okay to do whatever necessary to make it happen.
There is only one real solution for Christians who wish to push back on this, and it is not to use the tactics of the atheistic Naturalists. We don’t believe in the Law of the Jungle. Nor do we believe that the ends justify the means. We believe in the truth of the Gospel, and that God has the power to change the lives of those who don’t know him if they but hear and respond to its message. The solution is the power of God working in those people’s lives.
But it won’t just happen by itself. God has called believers to partner with him to share the life-giving message of Christ. We have the responsibility to share Christ with those who don’t know him. And if we are not willing to learn how to do that and boldly go out and actually do it, we deserve the retribution that is coming our way. Just like our nation gets the political leaders we deserve because we vote for them, we will get the kind of faith environment we deserve because of how we respond to God’s calling to share our faith.
In the meantime, you better keep your eyes open if you wish to live out your faith in this society. Those wishing to assault you are already out there doing it.

In total, Sen acted in 57 Bengali and seven Hindi films, before retiring in 1978 following the death of her husband, Dibanath Sen, an industrialist. The couple had been married since the late 1940s and had one daughter together.
According to Reuters, Sen shunned public appearances after her retirement from movies and largely lived the life of a hermit, rarely meeting people outside of family members and rarely being seen in public, the BBC reported
In light of her passing, praise for Sen came in from various parts of Bollywood and the Indian government.
"Her versatility and range of performances mark a unique contribution to Indian cinema, and to Bengali films in particular," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Friday.
"She was a wonder. She was not just a legend," Mamta Banerjee, a West Bengalese state official added.
Amitabh Bachchan, a Bollywood superstar, added that Sen "adorned the film world of Bengal with exquisite performances ... She graced Hindi films too!"
Dev Anand, the late Bollywood star who acted with her, once described Sen as "the doe-eyed, dusky beauty and immensely popular star of Bengal," the BBC noted.
As a result of her acting, Sen was awarded the Banga Bibhushan and Padma Shri – the fourth highest civilian award in the Republic of India.

When I think about how the sky informs my world, I think about science. The sky and outer space is endless, and I think that has some impact on how I view the world. If something like the sky is possible, and for they’re to be clouds that are constantly fluidly moving, much of anything is possible.
People have always looked to the sky for answers. Its a place you can go to feel small. Sometimes feeling small in this world feels good. It gives you perspective. Daily life becomes very much so about me, me, me. When in reality, we are all very very small, and less important than we think we are.
Much of the stress I encounter in my life is self inflicted. Due to feeling too important. The sky, especially at night when you can see our galaxy, helps to eliminate that briefly.

Agriculture scientists have innovated a new high yielding variety (HYV) of paddy to combat Monga (famine-like situation) in eight districts of greater Rangpur and Dinajpur in October and November, Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) agriculture coordinator MG Neogi said.
It will help create jobs for labourers in October and November which is known as 'Mongo' period, said the agriculture scientist.
The new early variety of paddy was innovated after a seven-month research conducted by Research Initiative Bangladesh (RIB) in joint collaboration with Bangladesh Rural Development Board (BRDB), Thengamara Mohila Sabuj Sangha (TMSS), Udayankur Seba Sangstha (SSU) and Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS), he said.
The research project started in June last year and ended successfully in December the same year.
According to the project paper, jobs for more than one million day labourers was created by cultivating paddy on 2 crore 64 lakh 2,126 acres of land in eight districts during Monga.
Under the project, 100 hectares of land were brought under cultivation of high yielding BRRI Dhan-33 in Sadar Upazila in Nilphamari, Gangachara Upazila in Rangpur, Ullipur Upazila in Kurigram and Hatibanda Upazila in Lalmonirhat district.
The research paper revealed that generation of employment of more than one crore day labourers was created by cultivating paddy on 2 crore 64 lakh 2,126 acres of land during Monga in eight districts of greater Rangpur and Dinajpur. It helped create jobs for labourers in October and November which is generally known as 'Mongo' period, agriculture scientists said.
Farmer Mohammad Oliur Rahman, son of Al-haj Abdul Majid Sarker of Purbakhatikha Hazipara village in Gangachara upazila, Rangpur is one of the beneficiaries. He told this correspondent he had cultivated BRRI Dhan 33 on 1.25 acres of land on experimental basis. He harvested 2.25 metric tons (MT) of rice at a cost of Tk 3,000 during Monga period. Earlier, he spent Tk 4,000 to cultivate paddy on the same land.
Oliur Rahman said, ' I have harvested early variety of paddy within 100 to 105 days of transplantation,' Oliur said. He said transplanted Boro required 150 days for harvesting. As a result it was impossible to cultivate potato and 'Mug' pulse on time. 'Now I can cultivate Rabi crops including potato after harvesting the early variety of paddy', Oliur said.
'I was benefited in several ways including early harvest of paddy during 'Monga' period and cultivated potato with less fertiliser.
Another beneficiary, Abdul Wahab, son of Amin Uddin Bepari of Kazaldanga Bheramara village under Ullipur upazila in Kurigram, said he had harvested more than two metric tons of paddy cultivating more than half acre of land.
I was benefited by early harvesting of crop during Monga, he said.

Versace's H&M collection draws celebrities in New York
Ahram Online reported
Hollywood's A-list turned out to celebrate when Donatella Versace launched her cheeky new collection for Swedish retailer H&M in New York late Tuesday.
Blake Lively, Jessica Alba and Uma Thurman were among the guests who watched the designer's collection in a fashion show in Manhattan's fashionable Meatpacking District.
Singing star Prince performed at a cocktail party after the show which has provoked the curiosity of fashion lovers on both sides of the Atlantic.
The collection covers a wild colour spectrum from hot pinks to lime greens and there are plenty of body-hugging skirts, dresses and leggings with the sequins, studs, leather and fringes that Versace fans have come to expect.
The women's collection features 40 clothing pieces and 20 accessories, including a classic black dress with Grecian gold buttons and a floor-length goddess gown with a boned bodice as well as sequin dresses in archival Versace prints.
"This is a very joyful collection," Versace told reporters backstage at the show.
Versace said she believed the collection will be popular and help to cheer up consumers who are struggling with the economic downturn. "It was done totally wrong the last time the economy failed," she said. "Everyone said, 'Let's do safe clothes of a good quality that people will invest in and wear year after year.' That couldn't be more wrong. "The companies that survived the most were the ones that were recognisable, that stuck to their DNA, and our DNA is glamour".

Blaine mayor pleads guilty, pays $300 fine
Blaine Mayor Roger Barnes last Tuesday pleaded guilty to driving after suspension of his license and paid a $300 fine in Anoka County Court.
A warrant for his arrest was issued Nov. 8 after he failed twice to appear in court to face the charge. Barnes reportedly has spent the last two months in California.
Barnes’ license was suspended Dec. 23, 1971, police records show, after an accident. The records also show that he had no license when stopped by police Feb. 15, 1968. Blaine police last fall picked up Barnes for driving after suspension.

Road project could be delayed
The idea of reconstructing Osborne Road has been in the mill for about three years according to the Director of Physical Development for Anoka County, Bud Redepenning, but the starting of the project still could be delayed if final approval is not given by Fridley and Spring Lake Park.
The project initially started as just the reconstruction of the road, but previous plans set down by the Anoka County Department of Parks for a bike and walkway along Osborne Road prompted the County to throw the idea to the two cities.

Nurse leaders require real-time data to effectively implement clinical interventions and practice changes that improve unit-level patient care, according to a recent study.
“A nurse leader’s organizational role is to oversee complex, inpatient, ambulatory, and interventional patient care environments and use data to make decisions about performance management initiatives, monitor unit level clinical patient outcomes, and translate organizational performance goals and quality improvement to frontline staff,” wrote Ann M. Mazzella-Ebstein, PhD, RN, of Memorial Sloan Kettering, and colleagues. “Within data-driven organizations, nurse leaders are expected to leverage available information to manage unit-level operations and transform care. However, available report data may be lacking.”
Mazzella-Ebstein and colleagues recently conducted a study to evaluate the perceptions and experiences of oncology nurse leaders about available organizational data reports. They recruited 12 unit-level nurse leaders and collected data using semi-structured interviews.
Based on these interviews, the researchers found consistent themes, including lack of accurate, useful and meaningful data, specifically related to patient care.
Among the accessibility challenges discussed, nurse leaders highlighted frustrating reporting differences such as differing reports from inpatient units compared with critical care units. Inpatient unit nurse leaders found reports focused on equipment, regulatory compliance, and staff training. Nurse leaders in critical care units reported that data do not provide information relevant to the uniqueness of that unit.
“Nurse leaders felt that there were no data reports that specifically reflected their patient population and, as a consequence, they resort to manually filtering current reports to obtain relevant unit-level information,” the researchers wrote.
The interviews revealed that nurse leaders also question the wider applicability of many data reports, and thought that many reports did not provide meaningful data.
Among the suggestions for improvements were interventions to address report variances.
“The nurse leaders reported that it is advantageous for nursing leaders who are experienced with using reports to share information with other leaders at future workshops or meetings,” the researchers wrote.
Nurse leaders also expressed a need for data for “supporting the emotional well-being of staff, nursing workload, and efficiency.”
“Nurse leaders emphasized that their insight into the development of customizable reports is crucial for obtaining meaningful data relevant to the varied unit-level healthcare setting,” the researchers wrote. “Reports targeting unit-level outcomes would provide meaningful data to facilitate clinical improvement where patient care is provided.”

So this is gonna be a kind of short quick article. But since I'm new to the spot I thought I'd kind of just let everyone know who my two favorites are and why.
I like Ariel for a few reasons. One of which is the fact that I like her story line the best. I love the whole underwater thing and the fact that she's one of the only not human Princesses is pretty cool. I was in love with the idea of her trying to become human...and the fact that she traded her voice for legs was very unique. Her story was just a fun watch.
I also really love her voice. It's just so pretty and soothing and what...
Alrighty, so I've finally gotten a chance to sort out my Disney Princess list, and a lot of my other lists. I've really thought all of these through, and now I'm planned to put them up for the second time.

Big, bright and Kiwiana – photographic murals now line the wall of a busy corridor connecting Auckland’s
North Shore Hospital’s main entrance and outpatient wing. The six 2.7-metre wide art pieces, printed
and installed by Grafix Wall Art, serve not only a decorative purpose but a therapeutic one too.
“Art is important in hospitals because it helps provide an environment that is comforting, welcoming,
inspiring and uplifting,” says Andrew Young of the Well Foundation, Waitakere District Health Board’s
official charity arm.
“For people in pain or discomfort, art can provide a welcome distraction. The objective of this large
mural installation was to provide large scale, stunning imagery near the entrance to create a sense of
welcome that patients, families, visitors and staff can relate to – and get enjoyment from.”
“Our CEO Dr Bramley was inspired by Auckland International Airport’s arrival area and its welcoming
mural of NZ flora and fauna. He thought we could do something similar at North Shore Hospital, but
with beautiful natural imagery from around the Waitemata catchment.”
“The project was about a year in the making – sourcing the right photographer, selecting the images and
liaising with generous suppliers like Grafix Wall Art, who came to the party with the printing and
installation,” says Andrew. “We couldn’t have done it without all this support and collaboration.”
To ensure the corridor wall provided the wide, flat expanse needed for Grafix Wall Art to install the
murals, recessed shelving and alcoves were removed and the surfaces painted so that the murals would
To create the murals, Grafix had photographer David Prentice’s images printed on Avery Wall Film MPI2611
then laminated with a clear matt film to ensure each piece of wall art was robust and highly protected
in the high traffic corridor.
To ensure installation went smoothly and with minimum interruption, the team did as much
preparation as they could offsite – such as the precise job of trimming the images – and worked closely
with WDHB’s facilities project manager Stefano on timeframes.
A team of three from Grafix carried out the installation on a Saturday morning – with outpatients it’s
usually more busy Monday to Friday so this was the quietest time – and completed the job in under
Christine Petty says Grafix Wall Art was thrilled to play such a central part in this project – she also found
it rewarding on a personal level given her mother had recently spent time at this hospital. “Mum had
spent a few weeks here with heart issues, and I felt I’d like to give back in some way.”
“The result is stunning,” says Andrew. “We’ve had so many positive comments, both in person and via
social media, which tells us this has been a huge success and something that will be enjoyed by
hundreds of people in years to come.
“The wall art is part of keeping the DHB’s promise of ‘best care for everyone’, which includes creating
moments of joy in a complex and busy health environment like North Shore Hospital.”

To understand the role of public devotions in Mexican life today, one must understand their cost. Conformity to political and religious authorities marked the three hundred years of Spanish rule in New Spain. After Mexico won the War for Independence in 1821, anarchy and religious suppression followed. The struggles of the Mexican people for religious liberty in the 19th and 20th centuries form a compelling new story.

Christmas all the time.
“ Papa,” said a certain little girl of my acquaintance, on the 26th of last December, “why can't it be Kismas all the time?”
It seemed to revive a similar meditation that arose in her mind on the morning after her birthday, when she asked where her birthday was gone.
On the day succeeding Christmas
this melancholy inquiry certainly seemed a very natural reflection.
That day of delight-the early waking, the matutinal stocking, the decorated house, the gathering of kindred, the successive presents, the universal petting-why could not these remain and become human nature's daily food?
A child's desire of felicity is and ought to be boundless.
It is only time that teaches us the limitations of happiness, and we often accept these restrictions a great deal too soon.
“Care is taken,” Goethe
says, “that the trees shall not grow up into the sky;” but the stronger the impulse the greater the growth.
To let the new life in, we know
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be so
Helps make the soul immortal.

I thought I would try AMD again so I purchased a Phenom 940, an ASUS M3A79T-Deluxe and 2 X 2Gb Crucial 1066 memory. I always build outside the case so if anything is wrong it is easier to get at. I put it together, switched the PSU on, the power button lit up, I pressed it, the HSF whirred into life then nothing, no beeps, nothing. Searching through other forums it appears I need to update the BIOS, which would not be a problem if I had an AMD processor to use , but I only have Pentium processors at the moment, which means I have got to buy another AMD processor just to flash the BIOS. After paying £155, for this board it really pisses me of to have to pay out more money for another processor that I will only use once.

A Riviera Beach talent agency was ordered on Wednesday to stop running ads that imply it has special ties with major film and television production companies.
The Palm Beach Modeling and Talent Agency promoted opportunities for jobs on an Aaron Spelling Productions "hit television series" in classified ads that ran during May. The show was actually a pilot, and production had ceased on April 5.
Although the ads that prompted the order ran three months ago, the county Consumer Affairs Board wants to make sure it doesn't happen again, said Larry Breeden, Consumer Affairs Division director.
Breeden issued a cease and desist order on Aug. 21, and the board upheld the action on Wednesday.
But the Consumer Affairs Division is not through with the agency. A settlement is also being negotiated over complaints from 16 people that the talent agency overcharged them for photographs and also talked them into buying unnecessary pictures.
Thirteen complaints were originally filed with the Better Business Bureau, which suspended the talent agency for six months in June. People complained of spending as much as $700 on pictures for which photographers usually charge $200 to $300.
If an agreement is not reached in 30 to 60 days, then the consumer affairs office may issue a another cease and desist order related to the photo complaints, Breeden said.
The talent agency did not object to the order on the ads because it has not done anything wrong, said attorney David Schultz.
The agency was not notified that the show's production had ended, he said.
"We don't oppose the board or its efforts. We're only trying to explain that we were doing the ad in good faith. We'll make every effort to cooperate with the board," Schultz said. "We want to make Palm Beach County an attractive place for production companies."
Greer Bosworth, counsel for Aaron Spelling Productions Inc., had sent two letters objecting to the agency's use of Spelling's name on May 19 and May 25.
Schultz said the agency's office manager was still trying to ascertain Bosworth's identity when the second letter arrived.
"She had never heard of Greer Bosworth, and before she could figure out what was going on, she received a second letter," he said.
Agency owner Jeffrey Richards could not be reached for comment. Palm Beach County Film Commissioner Chuck Elderd, during testimony on Wednesday, said most talent agencies stay in constant contact with a casting director.
"You'll find that any other responsible talent agency does not have that problem because it's their responsibility to keep in touch with the casting director on a regular basis," he said later.
Consumer affairs hearing board chairman Michael Weiner warned the board would closely monitor talent agencies in the future.
"We have a nascent film industry in Palm Beach County. The only way it's going to get off the ground is if we scrupulously watch those involved in the industry," Weiner said. "I think the board is going to be policing this type of activity closely and will take an active interest."


As Samsung will not launch high-end mobile phones this year, the focus has gradually shifted to Samsung’s 2021 flagship. Samsung is expected to launch three Galaxy S21 series models, or Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S21 Ultra.
Now a list of South Korean security agencies not only exposes the Galaxy S21+ battery itself, but also reveals its capacity.
Earlier this month, China’s CCC Telecommunications Administration certified a pair of batteries for Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+. The latter’s part number is EB-BG996ABY and the rated capacity is 4660mAh.
The picture now given by the South Korean security agency shows the battery that will be installed inside the Galaxy S21+, confirming that the battery has a rated capacity of 4,660mAh and a typical capacity of 4,800mAh, which is slightly larger than that of the Galaxy S20+, the latter’s typical battery capacity It is 4500mAh.
Naijatechnews learned that Samsung will not launch the Galaxy S21 series until at least February next year. It is expected that this will be the first series to use Samsung’s new Exynos 1000 processor.

Beyond of the historical slave narrative, Octavia Butler's 1988 Kindred may also be deemed a contemporary science fiction novel, though the author herself claims that "Kindred is fantasy.... There is no science in Kindred" (Kenan 495). (1) Butler's vision in the novel is certainly not utopic. Whatever its narrative context, Butler's novel looks to the antebellum slave narrative form as a background for exploring issues of literacy in opposition to the reality of possession, oppression, and violence. Content and form intersect in the novel as the veiling of temporal boundaries blurs the notion of slavery transcended. By zigzagging the time frame of the novel from past to present, Butler points to ways in which past and present become interchangeable. She also writes of plausible historical actions and relationships, "filling in" possible gaps that may be evident in classic slave narratives. Butler assumes a non-Western conceptualization of history--one in which history is cyclical, not linear--in order to demonstrate ways in which certain forms of race and gender oppression continue late into the twentieth century and beyond. She incorporates postmodern fiction literary techniques to critique the notion that historical and psychological slavery can be overcome.
Unlike other contemporary revisions of the traditional slave narrative--most famously, Charles Johnson's Middle Passage, Sherley Anne Williams's Dessa Rose, and Toni Morrison's Beloved--Butler's neo-slave narrative, at least in part, takes place in the relative present. As such, it more clearly blurs history and the present (though the neo-slavery novel by convention imposes the past onto the present). The novel liberally borrows from very modern and postmodern ideas concerning time and continuity. Like John Barth's The Sot-Weed Factor or E. L. Doctorow's Ragtime, Butler attempts a contemporary re-write of an historical or plausibly historical event. Thus, she reclaims control over text and ideas, significant postmodern concepts. This drive to contain and to define one's personal or communal history can be seen in many contemporary novels. Ultimately, Butler's novel remains part contemporary postmodern text, part historical slave narrative.
One might label Kindred a sort of inverse slave narrative. Born into freedom herself in 1950, its protagonist Dana becomes enslaved on her twenty-sixth birthday in 1976, the bicentennial year of US independence, and, as many actual slave rebels reported, she must prepare for a dangerous, consequential escape. Dana's escape, with its trials, pitfalls, and obstacles--including capture by her white owner-ancestor Rufus and his slave overseer Weylin--parallels numerous slave narrators' accounts of flight from bondage. It is not simply Butler's account of Dana's enslavement and escape that resemble antebellum slavery narratives', but also her novel's concentration on rhetorical strategies of subterfuge, its record of resistance and oppression, and its concentration on the separation of families. Underscoring the novel's slave narrative conventions, Sandra Y. Govan claims that "Butler treats the recurring themes of casual brutality, forcible separation of families, the quest for knowledge, the desire to escape, the tremendous work loads expected of slaves as efficiently as any of the narrators or documentary histories discussing the slavery experience ("Homage" 91). (2) By assuming the form of the slave narrative and by shifting its focus from past to present to past, Butler's novel stresses the ways in which present-day African Americans might suffer from the markings of the past. Adapting genres is, of course, a very postmodern concept. Both John Barth and Thomas Pynchon have taken the form of the 18th-century novel to write contemporary updates of their own. Butler's agenda, however, is much less playful than theirs--and much more political.
Of course, to be reminiscent of a slave narrative, Kindred must present a world of intense and implacable oppression, possession, and violence. …

When last I wrote about Kamii’s Number in Preschool and Kindergarten book, I was exploring Chapter 4 – School Situations to “Teach” Number. In the first half of the chapter, Kamii described several ways that teachers can use everyday activities to teach number. The second half of the chapter focuses on group games as a vehicle to “provide an excellent context for thinking in general and for comparing quantities.” (p. 52).
Kamii describes several great examples of group games appropriate for even the youngest children.
- Aiming Games
- Hiding Games
- Races and Chasing Games
- Guessing Games
- Board Games
- Card Games
In the coming weeks, I will explore each of these categories further as I finally wrap up the discussion of this great book.

text: Graphene is one of the most promising materials in the field of nanotechnology and has attracted a tremendous amount of research interest in recent years. Due to its large specific surface area, high thermal conductivity, and superior electron mobility, graphene is regarded as an extremely attractive component for the preparation of composite materials. At the same time, the use of photocatalysts, particularly TiO2, has also been widely studied for their potential in addressing various energy and environmental-related issues. However, bare TiO2 suffers from low efficiency and a narrow light-response range. Therefore, the combination of graphene and TiO2 is currently one of the most active interdisciplinary research areas and demonstrations of photocatalytic enhancement are abundant. This Review presents and discusses the current development of graphene-based TiO2 photocatalysts. The theoretical framework of the composite, the synthetic strategies for the preparation and modification of graphene-based TiO2 photocatalysts, and applications of the composite are reviewed, with particular attention on the photodegradation of pollutants and photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen generation.

Looks great and is exactly what I wanted but the install was a little tough. Plan a minimum of 4 hours on this install. Just removing screws from the old bumper is cumbersome and the video is not correct. You have to install a bracket to make the fog lights fit. The fog light nuts and bolts are tiny so have fun with that. Not the pop in inserts and screws as shown on the video. I did manage to get 7 of the 8 bumper bolts attached. The last one just would not go.Helpful (2)

Great bumper but 2 install challenges
Love the looks of the bumper once it is on. There were two challenges during install. One was the tapped holes for the fog light mounts might have been tapped before the coating because all of them were fouled. Had to tap them out with a M4 tap to accept the fog light mounting screws. The second challenge was the plastic holders for the main mounting bolts are worthless for holding the studs in place while trying to line them up. Ended up packing bubble wrap behind the stud assemblies to hold them in place while we aligned the studs through the frame flanges.Helpful (1)

Bumper fits excellent on a 2019 JLU Rubicon
First thing is the directions are not helpful. If you have never performed this type of removal/install you need to watch the videos showing this. Bumper removal is not bad except you need a swivel socket and an extension to reach the nuts holding the factory bumper on. I left the lower cover on the bumper and simply detached the two lower bolts holding it to the cross member. Easier to pop the rest out on the bench. No issues with bumper brackets/ hardware. Bolts right up except the thin plastic retainers that hold the brackets in the bumper are not that great. Brackets fell out of position too easy. Tape might work better. Since I installed a winch I bolted it on before installing the bumper. The bumper and winch together are heavy so get an assistant. Used my factory halogen fog lights and wiring harness. For those negative comments on the difficulty installing the tiny fog light screws, you need to put the outermost screws in with threads pointing out instead of in. Just put pressure on the head of the screws with your finger and tighten nuts easily. I installed both lights in less than 15 minutes using this method. For those installing a winch on a JL with a 3.6 gas engine, just go ahead and remove the air filter box and you will thank me later. Remove the top of the box and the single hold down bolt at the fender. Lower part of box has two plastic pins at bottom pressed into rubber grommets and you can just pull the lower part up to pop it loose and remove it. Now you can actually see how to run the winch positive and negative cables.Helpful (1)

Ordered a bumper for my dads Jeep. He has a 2018 JL Wrangler. They sent one for a 2007-2017 Wrangler that will not fit. Emailed my concern and still have not received any feedback nor gotten the correct bumper. On the order acknowledgement, it was for the correct one, but shipping was incorrect. All I want is to get the correct one, but it's not looking too hopeful.Helpful (1)

Although the finished product looks good, it was a pain in the A** to install. No instruction on putting on the mounts (that should have already been welded in) . the mounts are put into position and the bumper is put on to the frame. the small retaining washers that are supposed to hold the mounts to the bumper during installation did not keep the mounts in place. Some of the washers had to ground down on one side so the bolt hole would line up. I bought the bumper because the factory lights where supposed to just mount on to the bumper with the suppled clips (shown on the install video) Instead there were two mounting pieces and four bolt, washer, lock washer per side That were the size on a tooth pick the bolts were the smallest I've seen. There was hardly any room to put the bolts on. We ended up super gluing the bolt onto a gloved hand and were able to put the bolts on. THE INSTALL VIDEO IS A COMPLETE LIE. If you don't have patience, do not try this install.It is NOT A ONE PERSON JOB. I would suggest getting it installed at a shop. I am giving it two stars because over all it looks great.Helpful (1)

Barricade Bumper for 2018 JL
Took me a few hours to install on my 2018 JL with stock Halogen fog lights. The version of bumper is a little different then the install video they have on the website. It looks the same and looks amazing on but they changed the fog light mounting. If you have the stock Hologen lights that came on the JLU sport in 2018 then you do not need to use the extra brackets that come with the kit, if you have the Stock LED lights then you can use the included brackets that come with the kit. I would recommend buying 4 longer stud bolts as the one they included are really short. The size of bolt is 1.75 x 50 mm. I reused the stock fog light screws as well but they no longer send or use the plastic screw clips that they use in the video. Installing the bumper is easiest if you watch the video for the JK version video as it actually shows you how to correctly mount it. The JL video is a freaking joke once you get past removing the stock bumper and just throw away the paper install directions.Helpful (1)

Application Notes state "excluding Rubicon models.". So if I have a Rubicon with OEM LED fog lights, will this bumper not work with those lights?
The lights equipped on this bumper will not be compatible with your Rubicon JL Wrangler.
Will this bumper work for a base plate for a blue ox tow bar?
No, this Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper is not designed for towing.
What is the total weight of the Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper (2018 Wrangler JL)?
The Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper will weigh approximately 86 lbs.
Where does the license plate go?
This Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper is not designed to accept a front license plate, so modification or a 3rd party license plate bracket of some sort would be necessary.
I have the basic "Sport" version of the JLU. Not sure what kind of fog lights are "standard". Will this bumper accept my standard fog lights?
The JLU Wranglers had 2 different lighting options for the foglights. We would recommend checking with your dealership to see what your lights are as they can either be LED or Halogen. If you do have the Halogen lights, then this bumper would not be compatible with those lights.
This will extend approximately 6" past the end of the stock bumper.
You will need to get the normal LED fog lights from a JK or just the normal JL wranglers. The JL Rubicon models have different fog light brackets which are the issue.
The factory skid plate/splash guard cannot be used with this bumper.
To our knowledge, there is not a package that Jeep comes with where it would include a winch from the factory. We do have bumper combination kits that would include the bumper and winches together for the JL wranglers which you can find here: https://www.extremeterrain.com/wrangler-jeep-jl-front-bumper.html#shop-by6.
No this would be a direct fit and would not require any alterations with the suspension to install.
This OEM halogen fog lights will not work with this bumper no. You will need to get differentLED fog lights.
You will need to get the LED fog lights from a JK or JL, to properly install this.

LANSDOWNE -- Lansdowne Folk Club will present gypsy swing band Harmonious Wail on April 27 at 7:30 p.m.
Held at the Lansdowne Presbyterian Church, 140 N. Lansdowne Ave., doors open at 6:30 p.m.
So who is Harmonious Wail? They're the kind of band that when staring in the face of death, pulls out a tube of fire-engine-red lipstick and draws on a passion-filled heart, or at the very least, creates a song with killer vocals. This is a band that's not only been known to run with its scissors, but actually include them in its backbeat. Then there's the cardboard-box percussion that defies all logic, but works like it was born to be played.
Maggie Delaney-Potthoff, lead vocalist and percussion is a captivating performer. She loves soaring on solos, scatting over a tune, and lifting people out of their seats.
Bandleader, mandolinist and vocalist Sims Delaney-Potthoff is a powerful, rhythmic force: He is never a dull moment. A fearless and lyrical mandolinist, Sims also holds his 1937 Gibson tenor guitar dear to heart, as well as his new love, the ukulele.
Returning to join Harmonious Wail after a 23-year hiatus, Mark Kreitzer is a vocalist and plays on six stringed instruments. Jeff Weiss is a passionate bassist. He has grown to love playing every type of music from jazz, funk, rap, world, to classical.
This is no ordinary band. Prepare to be Wailed.

Food system change-makers Kirsten Larsen and Serenity Hill have revealed their radical new collaborative farming model and succession plan designed to improve ecological function, support a diverse range of small-scale businesses, and ensure security of tenure for emerging farmers.
The couple, who run a self replacing flock of Australian White ewes on a 168-hectare property near Benalla, are founders of Open Food Network, a game-changing open source technology which connects growers with eaters and builds valued and fair food chains.
Serenity said the new collaborative farming model is underpinned by the same two values that have driven the success of OFN.
“Audacity and humility.”
“Audacity because we believe we can do it, and humility because it requires letting go of control.” explained Serenity.
A lease arrangement like no other
Currently, Serenity’s mother who owns the family farm is in the process of transferring the land into a family trust.
The trust will have an 80-year lease arrangement with a non-profit guaranteed company, Pukawidgee Land Management, which is now a registered charity.
Over the course of the 80 years, the equity of the trust will be transferred to the non-profit in exchange for improved ecological function.
After 80 years, the land is transferred to the not-for profit at a peppercorn rate.
Serenity’s mother is adamant the land be used for food production which works towards ecological improvement.
“We are building multiple protections into the DNA of the agreement,” explained Serenity. The lease agreement will take into account the challenges and uncertainties of providing agro-ecological services while adapting to the climate impacts of the next 80 years.”
The innovative lease arrangement is being drawn up by rural lawyer and farmer Matt Grogan at Halliday Solicitors who has a keen interest in succession planning and co-operative arrangements. He recently helped set up the energy co-operative Totally Renewable Yackandandah.
Collaboration the key to regenerative farm enterprises
As fierce proponents of agroecological farming systems, the couple believe they can counteract the cost associated with slower, more labor-intensive regenerative style of farming with four things: access to premium markets through a vertically integrated business; reduced input costs through regenerative practice; payments for ecological services; and innovative co-farming structures that welcome more people into the enterprises.
The couple market premium meat directly on the Open Food Network. In the future options include creating a vertical business with micro-abattoir, and boning room onsite as well a café and other community focused activities.
Governance that allows for adaptation and deep connection
Serenity said a lot of the collaborative farming solutions for young farmers are not looking at the important and deep seated need of farmers to connect deeply with the local ecology over time.
“Young farmers want security of tenure built into the model. We understand that the need to own and care for land over time is a deep cultural thing.”
“We wanted to try to experiment with this governance model — the traditional co-operative model doesn’t fit with our goals.
“We needed to build in the model a recognition that things change, so we decided to establish (Pukawidgee Land Management) as a guarantee company with charitable status.
“There would be potential for collaborators to become directors after participating for some years, but they would have to show they had deep values-alignment and put plenty of skin in the game first,” Serenity said.
The couple see potential to bring a diverse mix of collaborators who would offer something unique to the regenerative mission of the farm and contribute to triple bottom line outcomes.
For instance, there are participants who would like to set up a program for nature connection for children and families; building regenerative culture.
“The idea is that people could come to the farm and have these deep nature connection experiences. They would stay in our accommodation and have a connection with land and with us.
“Our vision is to have fewer customers but those who are more deeply connected to the farm, like a Community Supported Agriculture model.
Why regenerative agriculture needs to adopt collaborative models
While there are plenty of regenerative agriculture advocates who focus on reduced input costs, Kirsten and Serenity have a more realistic lived experience of managing land holistically.
“We have found ecological agriculture to be more labour intensive, particularly in the start up phase. There are rewards, but increased labour often requires a more collaborative way of thinking if it is going to be successful”
Serenity questioned the wisdom of individual families trying to run multiple regenerative enterprises at once, trying to emulate models such as those promoted by Joel Salatin.
“This is not a balanced approach. When looking at doing different things on farms, we need to look at alternative governance models that embrace collaboration and diversity.”
Capturing learnings from Open Food Network: A dance between holding a strong vision and letting go
What the women have learnt from Open Food Network is the importance of getting the ‘governance infrastructure’ right so that members have a sense of ownership and a place in shaping it.
This means stepping back and ensuring they leave enough space for others to fill. “You can’t have everything stitched up. You have to leave enough room for other people’s creativity. It’s still a learning curve,” she said.
“It’s a delicate dance between having enough of a clear vision — so that people can step into and be sure their vision aligns with ours and it’s not a shambles — and letting go and leaving space for things to emerge.”
Open Road – a collaborative logistics pilot
As if Open Food Network and a game-changing succession planning aren’t enough to shake up the food system, Ms Hill and Ms Larsen are driving a pilot program called Open Road, a network of farmers, food hubs, and social enterprises working together on logistics.
The Open Food Network founders see logistics as a big barrier for small scale farmers. Open Road is the solution.
The first experiment they are running is for three on-the-ground delivery loops in Victoria. One is running in North east Victoria, working with hubs like Strathbogie Local and North East Food Hub in Wangaratta. Open Road is also operating in Gippsland working with hubs like Baw Baw Food Hub and Prom Coast Food Collective. A pilot north and central Victoria region run is launching in September. Open Food Network is working with partners in Melbourne – Melbourne Farmers Markets and CERES Fair Food to help produce moving on Open Road to reach more customers.
Serenity said scaling the operation from a pilot to something more far-reaching is complex and expensive and will require social, public and philanthropic support. The women are currently looking at ways to get this done.
Again, it will require a combination of audacity and humility. Fortunately, they have plenty.
