I decided to make burgers and grilled potato wedges for my Pier 1 party. They turned out awesome and did not stick to the Cookina mat at all. It saved my food from falling through the grates as well. The mat was easy to clean and could be stored easily for use next time. I know that we will get so much use out of this mat this summer.
These products from Cookina can be found at your local Home Depot.
Grilled Potato Wedges
Any other spices you want to use
1. Microwave potatoes until they are about 1/2 cooked to soften them for the grill.
2. Cut into wedges and toss with olive oil and spices.
3. Once grill is hot, add potatoes to grill mat and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side (make sure they do not burn).
Potatoes should become crispy and are a great alternative to deep-fried French fries.
I was impressed by this Cookina grill mat. It is very simple but does a big job by protecting my food from sticking and falling through the cracks.

NOAA has released a statement essentially disavowing the National Weather Service in Birmingham’s tweet that contradicted President Donald Trump’s claim that Dorian would hit Alabama.
“The Birmingham National Weather Service’s Sunday morning tweet spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best forecast products available at the time,” the statement reads.
Soon after the unsigned statement was released, Trump tweeted out another video attacking CNN by playing a week-old weather broadcast from the network.

Sure, taken individually, the #1 editing mistake is not knowing its from it’s. That’s a super-sloppy mistake, since spellcheck invariably places a gee-I’m-just-a-computer-so-you-should-probably-check-this blue line under the its/it’s, and only the most arrogant of writers make that mistake.
But, here’s the deal: writing is collective, a series of sentences that build paragraphs and (sometimes) build pages. And because writing is “collective,” by its very nature, we arrive at the #1 mistake made by writers, and that is continuity. Or, lack thereof.
Backstory. When I was at that conference I mentioned in a couple of earlier blogs, the highest, most sustained emotion I felt was fear. It wasn’t physical fear, of course, since we were listening to speakers in the hyper-air conditioned splendor of a Disney hotel; no, it was fear of a let-down. The speaker was telling a story about his father, and I felt a bolt of fear: was his father going to be like my father? Oh, no! Thankfully, there was a happy ending, but, as a speaker myself, I can recognize and appreciate that high-water mark in terms of the emotion that you elicit in an audience member. There were lots of laughs, lots of good laughs, during the conference, but those few seconds of fear are what I remember the most.
So I went out and bought this guy’s book (not paying $28, but $3, which, as an author myself…well, what can I say?). Since we all know that I (almost) never post identifying information about where my quiz and other materials come from, I am not going to be able to write much about what subject this guy writes about, except to say that it is in the first line of what I write about. (!!) In fact, when he began to speak, I elbowed my business partner to show her that specific word in the very first line of my online profile for this particular organization.
ANYWAY! I started to do a pretty serious edit of his book, which is hardcover, traditionally published (though I’ve never heard of the press), and laid out in a really attractive way that makes it plain that a lot of thought went into the look and feel of the book.
That’s a shame, because the editing (the first word that came to mind was “sucked,” but we all know that that word is inappropriate for professional use) was terrible.
There were mistakes on the back flap. Mistakes on the back cover. Mistakes throughout the book. Mistakes in the bibliography. Mistakes on practically every page. In summary, here are some of the most common mistakes he made:
Noun-pronoun agreement. Singular nouns were most often accompanied with plural pronouns, but that was not consistent. Sometimes both singular and plural pronouns were used to refer to the same noun in the same paragraph. This happened most often when he was referring to a company, and calling it “they,” but also, for example, when he’d call “a client” or “a customer,” or “someone” a “they.”
Rule: The noun drives the bus. There is no circumstance when a company is referred to with a plural pronoun, like their or they, unless you are referring to you and the company, like “We” are doing this or that. A company is an it. The possessive of it is its. You can, if you want, talk about “employees” or use a plural noun (an example other than “employees” is not coming to me at the moment, but I’m sure that’s not the only option) to refer to people who work at the company, and that’s the work-around when talking about a single company. That’s the only time you can refer to a company, an organization, a foundation, whatever, as plural. Period.
Collective nouns. A collective noun—staff, team, audience—is treated as a singular noun, and so uses a singular pronoun and a singular verb form. The work-around can be to add “members”: staff members, team members, audience members. You can also say “participants” instead of “audience members,” if you are talking about an audience. Otherwise…
Plural acronyms. He used “apostrophe + s” in every circumstance to indicate the plural of an acronym with no periods. Don’t do that. The rule is you can do that (though why would you?) with an acronym with periods, but not without. MDA’s, PSD’s, CPA’s, CNA’s…these are all incorrect, as well as darned confusing. Drop the apostrophe, keep the “s” lowercase. When you’re flat out wrong, consistency doesn’t really matter.
Caps. DO NOT USE CAPS. NO. NO. NO. If you need to emphasize, use italics. Using caps makes you look HYSTERICAL. I use ’em sometime. Yes, yes, I do. But this is a blog, not a book.
Indefinite pronouns. There was too much reliance on indefinite pronouns. Words like “many,” “most,” “it,” “these,” and “those,” used by themselves, really weaken your writing.
Example: “Those committed to worthy causes…”
Example: “Some would say…”
Example: “Many would think…”
So, “many” who? “Those” what? “Some” of what?
Many people. Those staff members. Some of us.
Equivalencies. Equivalencies really lard up your writing! What’s the difference, when you get right down to it, between these words:
aloof and distant
inquiries and questions
competent and capable
real and genuine
focus and intentionality
principles and values
sincere and heartfelt
care and compassion
empathy and understanding
continued hard work and intentional effort
The thing to do is use the best choice (the single best choice), and then use the other word as you go along. Mix it up: use “compassion” a couple of times, use “care” a couple of times, etc., but don’t use them together.
Capitalization. If it ain’t a proper noun or a proper noun phrase, it ain’t capitalized!
Okay, so these are all mistakes. But the main mistake, the mistake of continuity, can only be seen globally.
Harley-Davidson multiple times, but “Harley Davidson” multiple times
U.S and US, referring to the same thing
Martin Luther King, Jr. and Martin Luther King Jr.
21st Century in the text, but Twenty-First Century on the back cover
American Girl Dolls and American Girl dolls
Board room and boardroom
Fortune Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Fortune magazine, “Fortune Magazine”
Famous Dave’s BBQ and Famous Dave’s Barbeque. That was a jaw-dropper, since both are incorrect: it’s
So, for reference purposes, I’d characterize it as “Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que.” That’s enough.
Booker T. Washington, 1856-1915 and Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
The New York Times and the New York Times
Consistency, you see, is the biggest bugaboo (a technical term used by all the big-time editors) in writing.
So, I’m going to conclude this post, since the thunderstorm is getting very, very close, with two quotes from his book, which I’m going to send (all marked up and with a very polite letter) off to him today.
From this dynamic, talented speaker, who so needs a good editor:
The fastest way to build a brand is consistency of message and product.
And, this is a good quote as well:
“Success is the sum of the details.” Harry Firestone
And, from me: God is in the details.

Something rather curious has been happening recently. Leading politicians, Tory, Lib Dem and Labour, have started talking about capitalism. It has happened before, but not for some time and then, referring to some particularly egregious example of corporate malfeasance, terms such as the “unacceptable face of capitalism” were used. Tory prime minister Edward Heath coined the phrase in 1973 to describe the activities of Lonrho chief executive Tiny Rowlands who had broken sanctions against the white racist Smith government of Rhodesia. Later, in 2004, Jim O’Donnell, managing director of BMW applied it to five directors of Phoenix Venture Holdings, the parent company of GM Rover, who had pocketed more than £16 million, even though the company had lost £89 million. The chairman and vice chairman were accused by Martin O’Neill, chairman of the Commons Trade and Industry Select Committee, of using “financial sleight of hand” to line their own pockets and of failing to exercise good corporate governance.
The current talk about capitalism is different. Now the capitalist system in Europe (including Britain) and throughout much of the western world is in the most acute crisis since the 1930s. It is no longer possible for the ruling classes of the countries most severely affected to deny its severity. When the first phase of the present crisis broke in 2007/8, some of the more perceptive Keynesians, such as Will Hutton in Britain, realized that this time it was not just another “manageable” recession like those of the early 80s and 90s, but a crisis of global proportions and potentially catastrophic dimensions which could lead to a systemic crash. Hutton is fully aware of the social implications of the crisis, as is clear from his column in the Observer on December 4. 2011: “Be sure that British civil society will not accept its grim fate as if nothing is happening. There will be organized and angry responses – and rightly. We are about to experience economic, social and political tectonic plates on the move.” It is worth quoting a little more from this article as in it he expresses a view which has recurred frequently in what he has written since 2008. “This”, he says, “is a crisis of bad capitalism….The only way forward is a good capitalism.” He concludes that “socialism, certainly as conceived and practiced over the past 100 years, is no plausible answer.” Note the qualification, which is significant -“as conceived and practiced over the past 100 years.” We will return to that later.
What has occasioned this latest discourse about capitalism? Some, like Hutton, Krugman and Stieglitz have offered serious observations about the nature and causes of the crisis and have, since its onset in 2008, argued that there would be no way out of it through imposing severe austerity measures. But others such as prime minister Cameron are simply responding to the growing public anger about the multi-millions in pay and bonuses that the bosses of an already bloated financial sector continue to award themselves as the rest of society is obliged to pay for their profligacy.
Cameron is also discomfited by Ed Miliband’s claim to the high ground in opposing “predatory” and “irresponsible” capitalism. Actually, both Cameron’s and Miliband’s rhetoric is reactive. It is the global financial crisis, the crisis in the Eurozone, the Occupation movement worldwide and not least the extraordinary upsurge of revolutionary fervour throughout the Arab world that have thrust questions about the nature of capitalism to the forefront of public concern. In particular attention has become focused on the role of finance capitalism. But the growing ranks of its critics who are trying to understand what caused the crisis and searching for ways of overcoming the social depredations following in its wake, will find little to enlighten or reassure them in anything that Miliband and Cameron have to say.
In talking about predatory and irresponsible capitalism, Miliband challenges Cameron to do something about exorbitant rail fares and bank charges; to end the “surcharge culture” and the “rigged energy market.” These are all matters of acute public concern and it is essential to confront and face down the banks, the railway companies and the energy suppliers. But they go nowhere near getting to grips with what even its staunchest defenders are forced to admit is a crisis of capitalism.
Cameron, like Miliband, says he wants a “responsible capitalism”. He talks of a “moral capitalism”, claiming that open markets and free enterprise are “the best imaginable force for improving human wealth and happiness”….”They are an engine for progress, generating enterprise and innovation that lifts people out of poverty and gives people opportunity.” “I would go further”, he says, “Where they work properly, open markets and free enterprise can actually promote morality.”
The point of all the rhetoric about the need for “responsible capitalism” is to counter the growing sense amongst those involved in protests and occupations across Europe, the USA and elsewhere, that (in the words of the banner raised over the London occupation at St. Paul’s), “Capitalism IS Crisis.” The ongoing and deepening sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone is as far as ever from resolution. As the UK falls into the double dip recession we were confidently assured by the government would not happen, the flimsy veil of credibility covering the “necessary” deep cuts of the austerity measures, is in shreds. A minority – but a growing minority – is beginning to question the nature of a system that is so obviously dysfunctional. On the same day (January 19.) that the City of London Corporation was given the legal right to evict the Occupy London protesters from St. Paul’s churchyard, Goldman Sachs announced that they had set aside £8bn to pay its staff an average of £238,000 each. Of course, such grotesquerie causes some embarrassment, even among the millionaires of Cameron’s cabinet. This is not, they tell us, the way capitalism should be working. We are left to infer that the ever-expanding gulf between rich and poor – a gulf that is growing greater by the month as the government’s cuts drive thousands more into hopeless poverty – is either not really happening or is something that should not trouble us. When working properly, Cameron assures us, the “free market” will lift people out of poverty. When might that be? How long should the one million unemployed young people in Britain be prepared to wait?
The protesters of the Occupy movement have got it right. In effect, they – and increasingly the re-energized trade union movement and the plethora of new activists – are saying that they have had enough. They have had enough of waiting for a lugubrious bunch of professional politicians to act on their behalf. The new activism must, and likely will be informed by a far greater awareness of the true nature of capitalism. They will be aware that it is not just a matter of excesses and the behaviour of “irresponsible” capitalists and greedy bankers. There is a growing understanding that the problem with capitalism is systemic. The system as a global socio-economic formation is in crisis. Boom and bust are in the nature of capitalism; they always have been and always will be. In its latest stage – finance monopoly capitalism – the cycles of boom and bust have become ever more frequent and ever more severe. The rise to dominance of finance capital in the western world since the 1970s has been in inverse proportion to the decline of the so-called “real economy”. As the economies based on manufacturing have stagnated, the real incomes of the working populations have declined. The illusion of continued prosperity in countries like Britain and the USA has been sustained by accumulated debt fuelled by unsustainable property bubbles. Now the bubbles are bursting with greater frequency and the European countries that were most heavily dependent on banking and the construction industry, such as Ireland, are hardest hit.
In conclusion it is worth returning to Will Hutton’s claim that the crisis is with “bad capitalism” and that the only way forward is to exchange it for “good capitalism.” He argued that socialism offeres no plausible alternative but added the qualification “certainly as conceived and practiced over the past 100 years.” It is not clear if Hutton intended this to be understood as a rejection of any imaginable form of socialism as an alternative to “bad capitalism”, but it is worth taking up this argument.
It needs to be said unequivocally that Hutton is right when he says that what has been practiced as socialism over the past 100 years does not deserve the name. (There are one or two possible exceptions that space prevents us from dealing with here). The countries of “actually existing socialism” in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were, despite state control of their economies, for the most part bureaucratic dictatorships in which the working class and peasantry held no actual power and in which, for the most part, the people were denied the elementary rights of freedom of speech and assembly. However one characterizes such societies, they were not socialist in anything but name.
Britain under the Labour government 0f 1945 -1951 is often described as socialist. It wasn’t. The nationalization of the “commanding heights” of the economy and the establishment of a “mixed economy” was a social democratic experiment which, in the harsh economic circumstances of the time, made considerable concession to a working population determined to redress the gross inequalities of the pre-war depression years. But it didn’t radically change the power structure. It was an example of social-democratic management of a capitalist economy. It wasn’t socialism.
If it is assumed that capitalism is incapable of resolving the contradictions with which it is so obviously riddled, the question of what is to replace it cannot be avoided. Will Hutton is right to reject what has passed for socialism over the past century. But, whatever we call it, there has to be an alternative to the present system. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of human society and the natural environment depends upon it. Consideration of what such a society might look like must be deferred to the next Letter from the UK.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of conditions also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. CMT develops because of a defective gene that causes abnormalities in the nerves that go to the feet, legs, hands and arms.
CMT, which is named after the three doctors who first described the disease in 1886, affects about one of every 2,500 Americans. It is one of the most common types of inherited nerve diseases. CMT is considered a peripheral neuropathy because it affects nerves outside of your brain and spinal cord.
What are the symptoms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
CMT affects both your motor and sensory nerves. Motor nerves carry signals from your brain to your muscles, telling them to move. Sensory nerves carry sensations, such as heat, cold and pain back to your brain. CMT symptoms can include both weakness and numbness.
Because CMT consists of more than one disorder, symptoms may vary from person to person, though they usually start in your feet and legs. Over time, CMT may also affect your hands and arms.
Common symptoms include:
- Weakness of your foot and lower leg muscles
- Foot deformities, including a high arch and bent toes (hammer toes)
- Difficulty lifting your foot while walking (foot drop)
- Loss of muscle around your hands and feet
- Numbness, tingling, burning, or loss of temperature sensation in your hands and feet
- Discomfort or pain in your hands and feet
Depending on the specific type of genetic defect you have, CMT may affect the part of the nerve, called the axon, which sends signals to other nerves. CMT may also affect the protective lining around a nerve, called the myelin sheath. CMT can affect both men and women.
Who is at risk for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
Many types of gene mutations can cause CMT. The genetic information that one or both of your parents passes on to you determines the type of gene mutation you have. This genetic inheritance and resulting gene mutation determine what symptoms you have and how old you are when they start.
How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease diagnosed?
The combination of a foot deformity and lower leg weakness is often the first sign of CMT. A specialist called a neurologist may diagnose CMT after doing a complete neurological exam and asking about your family history. Tests that help make the diagnosis include:
- A blood test to look for genetic defects
- Nerve conduction studies to measure the strength and speed of electrical signals passing through your nerves
- Electromyography to measure how well your muscles respond to electrical stimulation
How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease treated?
There’s no cure for CMT, but these treatment options can help:
- Physical therapy to strengthen and stretch your muscles. This may help prevent or delay disability caused by weakness and deformity
- Occupational therapy to help with your daily activities. This includes using special devices like rubber grips, or changing from buttons and zippers to Velcro
- Orthopedic devices like ankle braces, high-top boots and thumb splints
- Pain medications if needed
- Orthopaedic surgical intervention to correct deformities
What are the possible complications of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease?
CMT is not a fatal disease, and most people live to a normal age and remain active. In rare cases, CMT may affect the muscles you need to breathe. Because this can be especially dangerous at night, you may need a nighttime breathing assistive device.
More common complications include:
- Injuries from falls
- Worsening of the disease that certain prescription drugs can cause
- Injuries or infections of the feet that go unnoticed because of lack of pain and temperature sensation

my latest over at goldcoast.com.au:
YOUNG Gold Coast wannabe stand-up comedian Jordan Paris sparked a debate this week that went viral thanks to his alleged copying of another comic’s routine for his Australia’s Got Talent performance.
Some commenters said ‘oh so what, funny is funny’ — or a variant of it.
With all due respect, those people have completely missed the point.
Some said other performers on AGT sing cover versions of other peoples’ songs so why shouldn’t comics like Mr Paris ‘cover’ other comedians’ material.
The answer is intellectual property rights, or in simpler terms — a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work. Or even, credit where it’s due.
When an author writes a book and it is published, that author gets paid royalties for every copy that is sold. It’s usually between 10 and 13 per cent of the cover price.
When a songwriter writes a song and it is published, every time someone else plays that song — including radio stations — a fee must be paid to the songwriter.
When an amateur theatre group wants to put on a production of a play or musical that is still under copyright — say, Wicked — then that group must pay ‘performance rights’.
When an actor’s television show goes in to reruns, every time an episode in which he or she appears is replayed that actor gets paid ‘residuals’.
The same goes for comedians, who, if they aren’t writing their own material, are paying hard-earned money to someone to write them.
What Mr Paris did on Australia’s Got Talent was take money out of Lee Mack’s pocket. Money he is entitled to as the ‘creator’ of the material.
What Mr Paris did, in my opinion, is as heinous as a journalist copying another journalist’s material and claiming it as their own. And we all know the outrage when that kind of thing happens. Just take in an episode of Media Watch if you don’t believe me.
Royalties, residuals, performance rights _ whatever form these payments take _ are the only things that keep artists, musicians, writers, painters, actors, comedians, filmmakers and the rest of the creative arts in food and shelter.
You’ll gather this is close to my heart.
Copyright and intellectual property are huge issues in the media industry right now, because the internet has created massive changes to the way you, the reader, consumes news.
When you switch on your computer, go to Google, and click on ‘News’, you will be presented with a long list of links to news articles from multiple sources around the world.
Google, and other sites like it, are what is known as an `aggregator’. They collect together related links to news events and present them to you for free.
Do they pay for the ‘rights’ to those stories? No, they do not.
Is that fair to the journalists, subeditors, photographersa and designers who work to put that story together? I don’t believe so.
Does it present a danger to the future employment of journalists? Absolutely.
Mr Paris’ transgression is a small thing in the scheme of things, but it’s an indication that as a society we are becoming dangerously accustomed to not paying ‘creators’ for the sweat of their brow.
And what’s more, we seem to believe that having access to that ‘product’ is a right for which we shouldn’t have to pay.
And that is a slippery slope to a world where journalists are in short supply (and the truth along with that) and creative artists continue to starve in their garrets.

Although the overall cook time turned me off a bit, I dove into this recipe blindly and honestly chose it because I already had most of the ingredients. I am happy to say they turned out great! I was pleasantly surprised! Now that I've made my dish, I have read a few of the reviews and now have a better plan for making these in the future. I would definitely add sauteed mushrooms to compliment the already wonderful dish. Even if you stick to the recipe, I don't think you can go wrong! Enjoy!

WINNN partners the Media and CSOs for Improved Nutrition Response
By Wemimo Onikan, Knowledge Management Assistant, Nutrition
Over the years, Media and Civil Society engagement has proved to be an effective way to influence policies by the Government, and increase awareness among the populace on right behaviours and practices. Since 2014, the Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme has been engaging with the media in different ways including Roundtable meetings, Field Visits, Workshops, press briefings/media chats etc. The programme has also been engaging with Civil Society Organizations in the 5 states where it is implemented (Katsina Kebbi, Zamfara, Jigawa and Yobe), building their capacity on Voice and Accountability for Nutrition.
To further build on this, WINNN held a Nutrition sensitization meeting and field visit for Media Executives and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to its implementing sites in Katsina state from 14th – 16th December 2016. The visit was aimed at sensitizing the key “News gatekeepers” and other CSOs on the current issues on Nutrition and the need for increased advocacy, working with partners to sustain the gains / achievements made so far. Participants were drawn from the 5 WINNN implementing states and the National level and included Editors, Producers, News Managers and their deputies and some reporters from Africa Independent Television (AIT), Television Continental (TVC), Voice of America (VOA) Hausa Service, Daily Trust Newspaper, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) among others. Other participants include CSOs such as the Federation of Muslim Women Association of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CS-SUNN), Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) and CSO Nutrition Platforms from all 5 states.
The participants were taken through various capacity building sessions and visited an Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) site in Bugaje Community, Jibia Local Government Area (LGA), where children are treated for malnutrition. They also visited Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Support Groups in Tartangariya Community, Bugaje Ward, Jibia LGA. A Media and CSO parley was held afterwards with representatives of the Katsina State Government, where the participants had the opportunity to learn what the Government is doing to address malnutrition in the state.
The outing was interesting and it was an eye opener for me as a person. It showed the picture of how things really are” – Chairman, Katsina State Nutrition CSO Platform
“I am impressed with how WINNN has made the people see the programme as theirs. Teaching the women how to make meals for their children with what they have available is good. Even if the programme ends, they will continue these things” – Mohammed Salisu Rabiu, VOA Hausa Service
As a result of the capacity building sessions and field visit, participants committed to more advocacy to the Governments at their various levels for increased attention to nutrition.

Missouri's Civil War experience depicted at History Museum
BY TIM O'NEIL • [email protected]
Mike Takaki, an art installer with Ely, Inc. carries a reproduction of a Confederate guerrilla shirt while building a display for the Missouri History Museum's 'The Civil War in Missouri' exhibit Tuesday November 8, 2011. The exhibit, marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and curated from artifacts in the museum's permanent collection, opens Saturday to visitors. Photo by Robert Cohen, [email protected]
ST. LOUIS • The Missouri History Museum's special exhibit on the Civil War opens this weekend with old artifacts and fast-moving interactive panels depicting this state's own convulsive, bloody divisions.
The exhibit is the museum's contribution to a four-year national commemoration of the Civil War's 150th anniversary. Missouri, a slave state, shakily remained in the Union. But it was deeply divided by sentiments that played out in harsh social conflict and brutal guerrilla warfare.
The exhibit runs through March 2013. It is in the museum's main building in Forest Park, at Lindell Boulevard and DeBaliviere Avenue. Spread across 6,000 square feet of floor space are 187 artifacts, 251 images, 56 storyboards of explanatory text and 12 touch-screen panels. The images include old drawings, portraits, maps and original documents.
At the entrance, a jumbo TV screen cycles through the portraits and conflicting thoughts of 12 Missourians, six from each side, as war began. They include Jessie Benton Fremont, the influential and ardently Unionist senator's daughter and general's wife; and Sterling Price, a former governor who joined the rebel army.

The Ukrainian military is on the defense in the area but has launched a counteroffensive further south near the key city of Kherson.
The Battle for Severodonetsk
For the past few weeks, the Russian military has dedicated much of its focus on Severodonetsk, which is located south of Izium in the Luhansk province. The Russian forces have launched a series of frontal assaults on the city combined with flanking maneuvers in the north and south in an attempt to encircle Severodonetsk.
“The Russians are paying a price for their current tactical success that is out of proportion to any real operational or strategic benefit they can hope to receive. Severodonetsk itself is important at this stage in the war primarily because it is the last significant population center in Luhansk Oblast that the Russians do not control. Seizing it will let Moscow declare that it has secured Luhansk Oblast fully but will give Russia no other significant military or economic benefit,” the Institute for the Study of War assessed.
The fact that the capture of Severodonetsk will give the Kremlin control over most of Luhansk explains the tenacity of the Russian efforts in and around the city.
“Russian progress around Severdonetsk [sic] results largely from the fact that Moscow has concentrated forces, equipment, and materiel drawn from all other axes on this one objective.Russian troops have been unable to make progress on any other axes for weeks and have largely not even tried to do so. Ukrainian defenders have inflicted fearful casualties on the Russian attackers around Severodonetsk even so. Moscow will not be able to recoup large amounts of effective combat power even if it seizes Severdonetsk, [sic] because it is expending that combat power frivolously on taking the city,” the Institute for the Study of War added.
The Russian military continues to suffer casualties, although the rate has slowed down significantly. And yet, the levels or Russian casualties continue to be unsustainable.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense claimed that as of Sunday, Ukrainian forces have killed approximately 30,150 Russian troops (and wounded approximately thrice that number), destroyed 207 fighter, attack, and transport jets, 174 attack and transport helicopters, 1,338 tanks, 631 artillery pieces, 3,270 armored personnel carriers, 203 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS), 13 boats and cutters, 2,240 vehicles and fuel tanks, 93 anti-aircraft batteries, 504 tactical unmanned aerial systems, 48 special equipment platforms, such as bridging vehicles, and four mobile Iskander ballistic missile systems, and 116 cruise missiles shot down by the Ukrainian air defenses.
Ukrainian Grain and a Looming Global Disaster
Perhaps one of the most pressing global issues created by the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the looming humanitarian disaster caused by the inability of Ukraine to harvest all and export its grain.
In its daily estimate of the war, the British Ministry of Defense focused on the developing global humanitarian disaster that pertains to the Ukrainian agricultural production.
“On 25 May, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Andrei Rudenko, said Russia is ready to provide a humanitarian corridor for vessels carrying food through the Black Sea in return for the lifting of sanctions. The minister also requested Ukraine de-mine the area around the port of Odesa to allow the passage of ships,” the British Ministry of Defense stated.
Ukraine is one of the largest producers and exporters of grain in the world, and dozens of African and Middle Eastern countries depend on the Ukrainian production for their bread. Should Ukraine be unable to export its agricultural production, millions of people will be faced with disaster.
“Rudenko’s request for Ukraine to de-mine follows a core tenet of modern Russian messaging strategy: introducing alternative narratives, however unconvincing, to complicate audiences’ understanding,” the British Ministry of Defense warned.
“In this instance, Ukraine has only deployed maritime mines because of the continued credible threat of Russian amphibious assaults from the Black Sea. Russia has demonstrated is it prepared to leverage global food security for its own political aim and then present itself as the reasonable actor and blame the West for any failure. Russia’s attempt to achieve a reduction in the severity of international sanctions also highlights the stresses sanctions are placing on the regime,” the British Ministry of Defense assessed.
1945’s New Defense and National Security Columnist, Stavros Atlamazoglou is a seasoned defense journalist specializing in special operations, a Hellenic Army veteran (national service with the 575th Marine Battalion and Army HQ), and a Johns Hopkins University graduate. His work has been featured in Business Insider, Sandboxx, and SOFREP.

On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (October 31st, 2016) John Campea, Mark Ellis, Jon Schnepp, Ashley Mova and Wendy Lee discuss the following:
- James Gunn directed Stan Lee’s next four cameos
- Tom Hardy to play Al Capone in Fonzo directed by Josh Trank
- Box Office Report
- Rambo to be rebooted with Rambo: New Blood
- Doug Liman says Edge of Tomorrow 2 is a sequel that’s a prequel
- Joachim Rønning attached to David Heyman’s Methuselah with Tom Cruise
- Mail Bag
In an interview with EW, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson revealed that James Gunn shot four cameos for Stan Lee for four upcoming Marvel feature releases. Collider reported a few months back that Lee had flown down to Atlanta to film the set, and now we know who was behind the lens.
According to a report from Deadline, Tom Hardy is attached to play American gangster Al Capone in Fonzo, a new project written and to be directed by Josh Trank. The film is currently in pre-production and will center on the later years of Capone, after a decade of imprisonment where dementia is rotting his mind. No release date has been set.
It’s Monday which means it’s time for the weekend box office report brought to you by AMC Theatres. Boo! A Madea Halloween took the No 1 spot at the weekend box office for a second week in a row, pulling in $16.7 million and bringing its domestic total to $52 million. Sony’s Inferno, the third film in the Robert Langdon series, fell $10 million shy of expectations pulling in $15 million for a No 2 finish. Jack Reacher: Never Go Back took the No 3 spot in its second weekend, delivering $9.6 million with a domestic total of $39.7. The Accountant took the No 4 spot with $8.5 million bringing its domestic total to $61.3 million. And rounding out the top 5 was Ouija: Origin of Evil, pulling in $7.1 million for a domestic total of $24.6 million.

According to THR, Nu Image/Millennium Films is plotting a reboot to Rambo, the classic 1980s action franchise that starred Sylvester Stallone. Brooks McLaren will write the script with Ariel Vromen directing. Titled Rambo: New Blood, the reboot will not see Stallone return as he did in Millennium’s 2008 outing, instead, a younger actor will be recast in the role, with Millennium Films looking at the character as similar to James Bond. There is no word on a release date.
Collider’s own Steve Weintrub recently spoke with director Doug Liman in anticipation of his scripted supernatural VR series Invisible, when the conversation turned to an update on Edge of Tomorrow 2. Both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are signed to return, with Liman saying that the story is better than the original and it is both a sequel and prequel.
In an interview about their latest horror sequel Ouija: Origin of Evil, Collider’s Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub asked producers Andrew Form and Brad Fuller about their thoughts on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and whether or not the box office was enough to warrant a third film in the franchise.
According to a report from Deadline, Harry Potter producer David Heyman’s biblical epic Methuselah is moving forward at Warner Bros with Tom Cruise and director Joachim Rønning, who is fresh off directing Disney’s 2017 summer blockbuster, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Cruise will play the title character who was said to live 969 years according to the Hebrew Bible. A release date has not been set.

Hey Collider team my name is Daniel I’m from México and I love the show! Yesterday I saw the trailer of the new Robert Zemekis movie: Allied. I’m clearly engaged in it but was totally spoiled the hell out of the plot, even though I know that trailer is there to tell you about the plot. But I was wondering if you think that going in to a movie with no knowledge at all makes the experience better?

The Wildcat seats are a non-adjustable one size fits all, and we found the position
of the seats to be very comfortable for having no adjustments. Aluminum full doors
come from the factory and have a built-in grab handle for the passenger.
During our photo-shoot day, we put 61 miles on our RZR S 900 and used 4 gallons
of gas, while the Wildcat went 58. 7 miles using 3. 5 gallons. At $4.99 a gallon we
paid at this remote gas station, the further you can go without refueling, the better
chance you have of driving to a cheaper gas station.
The seats in the RZR S 900 are the same seats found in the XP1K and are very
comfortable that can be adjusted to better suit shorter and taller drivers. At the
time of our test, we had removed the stock V-shaped doors and replaced them with
a set of aluminum full doors from Modquad that retail for $649.95. You can contact
Modquad at www.modquad.com or call (541) 791-2887.
tall, and is 106 inches long and 60
inches wide with a 79-inch wheelbase. Polaris claims the S 900 weighs
in at 1,228 pounds dry, and has a
cargo limit of 300 pounds.
At our testing facility, situated at
3000 feet above sea level, the RZR S
900 had the highest top speed of 71
mph. The Wildcat Sport wasn’t that
far behind with 66 mph and having
200cc smaller displacement than the
RZR. The speeds were averaged off of
two runs on a flat dirt road.
Getting to those numbers, the results
were a bit different. The Wildcat Sport
would jump off the line, but the power
would flatten out around 63 mph
when it would slowly increase its
speed. If we had a longer run, we
could push more out of the top speed
for the Wildcat Sport. The RZR would
jump off the line a tad quicker than
that of the Wildcat and keep pulling very strong throughout the whole
The Wildcat felt very well-planted
at high speeds from the help of its
low center of gravity. The RZR would
tend to wander and float at the higher
speeds. The RZR had a Pure Polaris
aluminum roof installed.
To get a consistent reading on sus-
pension action, we ran the same trail
a few times in each machine, with a
mixture of whoops and off-camber
roads. The Wildcat felt to have the
smoothest ride and was the most
controllable. The RZR felt a tad on
the stiff side of things with its shorter
wheelbase. They both have the same
amount of suspension travel, so it
really came down to shock setup.
We have a test track we use year
after year in the middle of the des-
ert that is about five miles long with
a perfect mixture of kicker bumps,
whoops, turns, sand and rocks to
really show differences between all
machines. For our testing of lap times
and high-speed runs, each vehicle
has a driver and passenger on board.
The Polaris RZR S 900 turned a fast
lap of 8: 26. 4. The RZR could carry
more speed with the help of its bigger
engine, which helped it accelerate
out of corners quicker. Our test driver
had all the confidence he needed to
keep the skinny pedal to the floor. This
machine has a bit more body roll than
the Wildcat Sport, but when it stops
swaying and sets up, it rails just as
well as its bigger brother, the XP1K.
The Wildcat Sport turned a lap time
of 8: 57. 7—that’s not a bad lap time

Unexplained weight loss
Unexplained weight loss, or losing weight without trying — particularly if it's significant or ongoing — may be a sign of a medical disorder.
The point at which unexplained weight loss becomes a medical concern is not exact. But many health care providers agree that a medical evaluation is called for if you lose more than 5% of your weight in 6 to 12 months, especially if you're an older adult. For example, a 5% weight loss in someone who is 160 pounds (72 kilograms) is 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms). In someone who is 200 pounds (90 kilograms), it's 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms).
Your weight is affected by your calorie intake, activity level and overall health. Your ability to absorb nutrients from the food you eat also affects your weight. Economic and social factors also may play a role.
Unexplained weight loss has many causes, medical and nonmedical. Often, a combination of things results in a general decline in your health and a related weight loss. Sometimes a specific cause isn't found.
Usually, an unrecognized cancer will have other symptoms or abnormalities of laboratory tests, in addition to unexplained weight loss.
Potential causes of unexplained weight loss include:
- Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency)
- Amyloidosis (buildup of abnormal proteins in your organs)
- Celiac disease
- Changes in diet or appetite
- Changes in sense of smell
- Changes in sense of taste
- COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) exacerbation — worsening of symptoms
- Crohn's disease
- Dental problems
- Depression (major depressive disorder)
- Heart failure
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
- Parkinson's disease
- Peptic ulcer
- Substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, other)
- Ulcerative colitis (a type of inflammatory bowel disease)
When to see a doctor
If you're losing weight without trying and you're concerned about it, consult your doctor — as a rule of thumb, losing more than 5 percent of your weight within six to 12 months may indicate a problem. If you're an older adult with many or more-serious underlying health issues, even a smaller amount of weight loss may be significant.
Your doctor will work with you to try to determine what's causing the weight loss. At first that will involve a thorough history, a physical examination and basic laboratory testing. Imaging scans to look for hidden cancers are not usually helpful unless some other clue points in that direction.
Sometimes, if the basic evaluation is negative, watchful waiting for one to six months is a reasonable next step. You may need a special diet to prevent further weight loss or to regain lost pounds.

The mags say 93, MS20, H-1, and Master Molder Wilson, N.C. USA. I paid $15 each for these from a little shop that just opened up. These are great for prone shooting BTW. What cha think?


West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith's fall out of the first-round of the 2013 NFL draft has claimed its first casualty as Liz Mullen of the SportsBusiness Journal reports that the rookie quarterback is parting ways with his agents, Jeff Nalley of the Houston-based Select Sports Group.
Smith accepted an invitation to attend the draft and was in the green room at Radio City Music Hall for most of the first-round. However, when the first-round reached the final few picks, and those picks were held by teams that have no need for a quarterback, Smith left the building as it was evident he would not be selected until Day 2.
ESPN's Suzy Kolber reported that Smith was not going to attend Day 2 of the draft, but Smith changed his mind and returned to Radio City Music Hall on Friday. Smith was selected by the New York Jets with the eighth pick in Round 2, the 39th overall pick in the draft, which is expected come with a contract worth just under $5 million with over $3.1 million in guaranteed money. Had Smith been selected in Round 1, his contract would be worth, at minimum, $6.7 million with around $5.4 million in guaranteed money.
The financial difference, as well as having to return to a green room for a second day, appear to be the reason why Smith is changing agents.
According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Smith was under the impression that he should be and would be the No. 1 overall pick of the draft. It is understandable for Smith to be disappointed about not being a first-round pick, but unless he was specifically being told by his agents that he would go No. 1, we're not sure how they are at fault for his tumble out of Round 1.
Smith was clearly aware of what "so-called experts" were saying about him, and if he were paying attention to mock drafts in the days leading up to the draft, he should have known that the Kansas City Chiefs' pick at No. 1 overall was going to be a left tackle, either Central Michigan's Eric Fisher (who was the pick) or Luke Joeckel from Texas A&M (who went No. 2 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars). While Smith was a highly-regarded prospect during the lead-up to the draft — "Shutdown Corner" editor Doug Farrar had Smith as the No. 10 prospect in the "Shutdown 50" — where he was predicted to be picked was all over the map. Farrar had Smith going as high as seventh overall in his mock draft, while Greg Cosell did not have Smith being selected in Round 1 in his mock draft for "Shutdown Corner".
Per the NFLPA rules, Smith must wait five days before officially hiring a new agent.

Certain paint colors can lift your spirits, make a room seem larger or smaller, and even — much to the chagrin of homeowners or real-estate agents — drag out the sale of a property.
These days, you can’t go wrong with shades of white and off white, according to Jody Finglas of Finglas Painting in Ossining, N.Y.
“What was very in vogue 10 years ago, like faux and decorative painting, funky wallpapers and dark accent walls, has changed,” he said. “Now it’s all about less is more. We’re seeing a lot of requests for lighter, brighter colors.”
Add color with furniture and accessories, Finglas said. They can be switched out easily depending on your mood or the season.

HALLOWELL'S ANNUAL ZOMBIE CRAWL
WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Parade starts near the intersection of Academy and Water streets; crawl includes at least nine restaurant/bars along Water and Front streets.
HOW MUCH: $10 "Zombie Pass" gets you drink specials in each bar/restaurant plus a free entry in the raffle.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION
FOR A SCARY, yet somewhat silly, grown-up Halloween party, try the event known as “Plague – The Inquisition Ball!” This goth ball at Asylum is scheduled to include a performance by Ego Likeness, several “torture” stations, a costume contest, DJs and Monty Python-inspired drinks.
WHEN: 9 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Asylum, 121 Center St., Portland
HOW MUCH: $10; $8 in advance
Keep that in mind Saturday night, when you see lots of ghoulish, blank-eyed figures walking down Water Street in Hallowell. They may look like they want to eat your flesh and drink your blood, but really they're in search of a good pale ale and maybe a burger.
Hallowell's Annual Zombie Crawl is basically a hybrid of the zombie craze (have you heard about Portland's zombie kickball leagues?) and the time-honored tradition among civilized beer-drinking folks known as a pub crawl.
So it's basically people dressed as zombies walking down Water Street and Front Street in historic Hallowell, stopping in any one or all nine or so participating pubs and eateries.
Yes, there are so many pubs in tiny Hallowell, it's almost scary.
But it's the sight of all those zombies walking down a street that will make you scream – or at least point and laugh loudly. The zombies will first appear as part of a parade at 7 p.m. Saturday, and they'll be around later during the pub crawling.
"Being on the street during the crawl is like stepping into a very odd movie by David Lynch. The energy is just vibrating as people have transformed themselves into the walking dead and really play the part," said Bruce Mayo, owner of Easy Street Lounge, one of the participating pubs. "I love that about Halloween. Everybody can play dress-up like we did as kids and interact with each other in this peculiar play."
But it's better, because as kids, we couldn't legally drink beer.
Mayo says that during the Zombie Crawl people do a lot of moaning and groaning, walking around yelling "brains, give us brains!" and stuff like that. Especially during the parade.
The Zombie Crawl began a few years ago as a fundraiser for a local dog rescue group, the Bully Underground Rescue Unit (www.bullynetwork.org). All proceeds from the zombie passes go to the group.
The zombie passes ($10) get you entered into a raffle for several prizes. You still have to buy your own drinks and food, but there will be drink specials.
"I think people like to have the chance just to dress up and escape for a night," said Mayo. "With this time of the year and all the politics being crammed down our throats everywhere you turn, it's fun to be someone other than yourself for a night."
A Zombie Crawl makes perfect sense, if you think about it. As kids, we walked from house to house in the dark spooky night in search of candy. Because candy is sort of the raison d'etre for kids.
But as adults, we're in search of lively conversation, music, good food and a good beer.
And if we have to tramp through the dark night screaming "give us brains!" to get those things, so be it.

gymnast of the month June/July 1998
Though teammate Gina Gogean's retirement has, so far, taken the better part of a year, few would argue that Simona Amanar now leads the Romanian squad. Romanian head coach Octavian Belu has hinted that Amanar's boundless talent is the only thing keeping him in Deva. If Romania's hopes rest on her dainty shoulders, she has yet to disappoint.
Amanar recently led a Gogean-less squad to the European team title and finished a hair behind world champion Svetlana Khorkina in the all-around finals. Then at the World Cup in May, Amanar took home two of the four titles (vault and floor), with Gogean settling for silver on both.
The reigning world and European all-around silver medalist, she shared the Olympic overall bronze with Lavinia Milosovici.
Only 18, she already owns an astonishing 11 world and Olympic medals, six of them gold.
She began gymnastics after seeing a local competition. "It looked like so much fun," she said. "I went to the gym." In 1992, she moved to Deva to join the national team.
Her father, Vasile, is a welder and mother, Sofita, is a housewife. She has one brother, Adrian, who is 17. Amanar says she enjoys movies and detective stories. After gymnastics Amanar says that she would like to be coach in Romania.

Petiveria is a genus of flowering plants in the pigeonberry family, Petiveriaceae. The sole species it contains, Petiveria alliacea, is native to Florida and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and tropical South America. Introduced populations occur in Benin and Nigeria. It is a deeply rooted herbaceous perennial shrub growing up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in height and has small greenish piccate flowers. The roots and leaves have a strong acrid, garlic-like odor which taints the milk and meat of animals that graze on it.

(COLORADO SPRINGS) — This week, FOX21’s Morning News and the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) are featuring Derby, a four-year-old Belgian Malinois that came in as a stray.
Derby can be timid at first, but once she warms up, she’s really cute and friendly. HSPPR said other dogs make her a little nervous, so Derby would do best with slow introductions.
Derby’s adoption fee is $250 which includes a voucher for a veterinarian exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance, a microchip, and she is already spayed.
HSPPR said pets like Derby may require a decompression period in their new homes as changing an animal’s environment can be stressful. However, providing a stable routine and good enrichment can help them adapt.
According to HSPPR, every animal is unique so decompression periods may vary. Getting dogs familiar with when they are going to eat, sleep, exercise and play will help them feel safe in their new home and enrichment to keep them mentally stimulated can also help. Dogs can become overloaded with lots of new people and places all at once, so it’s recommended to take things slow.
For more information on Derby, other pets looking for adoption, or how to volunteer, visit HSPPR’s website.

The world's chemical weapons watchdog on Wednesday said all effluents from Syria's neutralized chemical weapons arsenal have been destroyed, according to AFP.
"The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons welcomes the disposal of effluents resulting from neutralization operations aboard the US vessel Cape Ray," the Hague-based watchdog said in a statement.
A total of 1,300 metric tonnes of chemical weapons have been removed from Syria, with the majority neutralized on the US Navy ship MV Cape Ray - and turned into less harmful effluent.
This effluent is the result of the sea-based destruction of sulphur mustards, commonly known as mustard gas, and methylphosphonyl difluoride, a precursor chemical for sarin gas.
Syria's chemical weapons stockpile was destroyed after President Bashar al-Assad's regime agreed to an international plan, following a 2013 sarin attack on a Damascus suburb that sparked a global outcry.
The United States threatened military action against Damascus over the attack, but held off following the disarmament agreement.
The OPCW said a waste disposal facility in Finland last Thursday said it had destroyed 5,463 metric tonnes of methylphosphonyl difluoride effluent.
On Friday, a German waste disposal firm destroyed some 335 metric tonnes of sulphur mustard effluent in Germany.
The German disposal has been verified by an OPCW team, while another verification team will shortly be sent to Finland, the watchdog said.
"This is yet another milestone in the path to eliminating chemical weapons stocks in Syria," OPCW director Ahmet Uzumcu said in the statement.
Of the 1,300 metric tonnes of Syria's declared chemical weapons only 16 metric tonnes of hydrogen fluoride remain to be destroyed at a facility in Port Arthur in Texas, the OPCW said.

Today, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) released the first version of its new Request For Comments (RFC) Annotations project. The purpose of this new project is to allow developers and security researchers to see commentary on the RFC documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that make up the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol. The DNS-related RFCs can be viewed with annotations, such as updates to the RFCs and commentary on parts of the protocols.
After an RFC is published, its text never changes. This hampers readers who read RFCs that have been updated or have had technical corrections made. The new project collects annotations from the IETF's database and from DNS experts, and then displays those annotations next to the RFCs so that the reader can see where the information applies in the RFCs.
The primary users of the annotated RFCs will be software developers who rely on the RFCs for understanding the protocol, people who are developing new protocols and extensions to protocols and security researchers who are looking in the protocol specifications for potential weaknesses. These people can benefit greatly by reading annotations from the technical community. The types of annotations expected include how a particular feature is implemented in popular software, how some protocols are analyzed in the technical literature, and even opinions on how a particular feature in a protocol might have been designed differently.
The RFC Annotations project is focused on DNS RFCs, but it can be used for other IETF technologies as well. ICANN will continue to improve the software in the project and to encourage more authors of annotations to broaden readers' understanding of the DNS.

On the 29th of July, Zindi, an African Data Science Competition website (African Kaggle) announced the commencement of Wazihub Soil Moisture Prediction Challenge. This competition ensues as a result of climate change which creates the need for the agricultural sector in Africa to devise means for adaptation. One crucial step in solving this challenge is being able to accurately measure and predict soil humidity in their fields as this will allow farmers to prepare their irrigation schedules optimally and efficiently.
To measure and predict the soil humidity, sensor-based irrigation and machine learning algorithms are required. However, building machine learning algorithms on sensor data will require a lot of data to be trained properly. Also, it is difficult to obtain stable sensor data in rural Africa due to many challenges such as accessibility, poor power supply, lack of internet, humidity and/or heat problem.
Therefore, this Zindi competition requires the participants to create a machine learning model capable of predicting the humidity for a particular plot in the next few days, using data from the past. The more challenging part of this competition is designing a set of algorithms that are resilient and can be trained with incomplete data (e.g. missing data points) and unclean data (e.g. lot of outliers), with the resulting model capable of informing farmers when to anticipate water needs and therefore prepare their irrigation schedules accordingly.
WAZIHUB is an innovation project for Africa aiming to create an Open Hub of IoT and Big data cutting-edge and African-grade solutions, co-designed by African people where these solutions can then be adapted to match local service needs.
Are you a beginner or expert Data Scientist and you will like to earn some money while you solve problems with your skills, join the competition: Wazihub Soil Moisture Prediction Challenge

How do you tell what year your Farmall tractor is?
When you want to identify the year of your tractor, you can look at several things. First and foremost is the tractor serial number, which is stamped into an aluminum plate located on the right side of your tractor, on the steering gear housing. Use the tractor serial number table to look up the year.
What happened to International Harvester tractors?
The truck operations continued, and International Harvester was renamed Navistar, which continues today as a public company. Navistar makes heavy trucks and school buses, but has had its own struggles and the stock has remained essentially flat for years.
What was the first Farmall tractor?
The first Farmall tractor with a direct-start diesel was the model 350, which appeared in 1956. The 350 could also be ordered with a gasoline or LP-gas engine. The 350’s direct-start diesel engine was built by Continental Motors.
How do I read my Case IH serial number?
Here is how you can read the serial number of your Case IH. The two numbers at the beginning of the series which refer to the month and day. To check the year, check on the last letter found in the series. Associate the number equivalent to that letter (A=1, B=2, and so on) to 1930 to identify the year.
Why did international stop making tractors?
The company wanted all dealerships to look alike. Yet the company’s facilities were antiquated in some significant areas. Farmall Works, for instance, was a 1926 building, and by the 1970s and ’80s, had become inefficient compared to the modern tractor plant of its main competitor, Deere.
