The article is not about growing marijuana for medicinal or recreational use. It is about growing a closely-related plant, industrial hemp, for food. According to the USDA, Economic Research Service:
“Marijuana and industrial hemp are different varieties of the same plant species, Cannabis sativa L. Marijuana typically contains 3 to 15 percent THC on a dry-weight basis, while industrial hemp contains less than 1 percent (Blade, 1998; Vantreese, 1998). Most developed countries that permit hemp cultivation require use of varieties with less than 0.3 percent THC.” (Identification: Industrial Hemp or Marijuana?)
THC is the active compound in marijuana that makes it a recreational and medicinal drug. Commercial hemp varieties are low in THC. And modern commercial processing allows many hemp food products to have a THC level of zero parts per million. The seeds themselves are actually free from THC; only the leaves and flowers contain the substance.
Despite these facts, industrial hemp is still essentially illegal to grow in the U.S. Technically, industrial hemp is legal to grow — you just need a permit from the DEA, and they are not going to give you one. In the last 40 years, the DEA has given out only one permit; they “granted the first hemp permit in 40 years to Hawaii for an experimental quarter acre plot in 1999.” Not very promising.
About ten different U.S. States have made growing industrial hemp legal, but federal restrictions still apply. So, if you live in the U.S., be advised that growing hemp is illegal. This article is written, not to encourage anyone to break the law, but to discuss the benefits of legalizing industrial hemp in the U.S. and for the benefit of readers in nations where industrial hemp is legal to grow.
A number of U.S. States and organizations are pressing for more relaxed standards for growing industrial hemp, since the crop can be quite lucrative. China is a major producer and exporter of hemp fiber. Much of the hemp seed and hemp oil in the U.S. is produced and imported from Canada. Hemp seed and hemp oil has long been a popular food in the U.S. health food industry. Hemp oil, seed, and fiber is legal to import and sell in the U.S., but you cannot grow it here (yet).
Hemp for Food?
The edible part of the hemp plant is the seeds. These can be pressed for oil. Hemp oil contains ample amounts of both essential fatty acids: omega-6 and omega-3. Moreover, the proportion of omega-6 to omega-3 fat is ideal, about 3:1. Hemp oil is about 60% omega-6 fatty acid and about 20% omega-3 fatty acid. So the oil is an excellent source of dietary fat. A stand of hemp can yield as much as 600 kg of hemp oil per hectare (about 535 lbs/acre). This production level is lower than for other oil seeds, but the health benefits of hemp oil are greater.
I’ve used hemp oil as well as many other health food oils. The cold pressed oil is a green color; it has a somewhat leafy taste. But the flavor does not overpower other tastes and spices in a meal. You can buy hemp oil online or in health food stores.
Hemp seed is high in protein. At 25% protein, hemp seeds have more protein than lean ground beef (which is 20% protein). The hemp protein is high quality, with all essential amino acids in ideal proportions, except lysine at 82% of ideal (IOM reference values; data from Finola.com). Hemp seed is about 25% protein, 33% fat, and 30% carbohydrate. This one plant provides you with all three macronutrients and all the essential fatty acids and essential amino acids that you need.
Industrial hemp is an interesting crop to grow. The plant has male and female versions. So you need to plant a large enough stand of the crop for the wind to pollinate all the female plants. Only the female plants produce hemp seed. Here is a good overview of Growing Industrial Hemp. Certain varieties produce much fiber and little edible seed. Other varieties produce much more seed, on shorter stalks that are not good for fiber.
Currently, most nations that permit the growing of hemp for food restrict its production to commercial farms that have special permits. So it is not a viable backyard or survival-farm crop yet. But industrial hemp would be an excellent survival crop: it provides all three macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates), all essential fatty acids in ideal proportions, and all essential amino acids in good proportions. It is a nutritional grocery store in one plant. If it is legal to grow in your country, or if it eventually becomes legal to grow in the U.S. or in some U.S. states, industrial hemp would be an ideal survival gardening crop. But until laws on the subject change, we can only buy the food in health food stores or online. Can you store hemp oil or hemp protein (hempseed) with your stored food supply? Not really. The oil needs refrigeration, as it spoils easily. And the seeds do not keep well, long term. So right now, it is only a good survival crop in theory, not in practice.

Autonomous navigation using visual terrain recognition gets AI boost
For the first time, say the researchers, their algorithm enables visual terrain-relative navigation (VTRN) technology to work regardless of seasonal changes to that terrain. Current VTRN technology, which compares nearby terrain to high-resolution satellite images, requires that the terrain it is viewing closely matches the images in its database.
Anything that alters or obscures the terrain – such as snow cover or fallen leaves – can cause the images to not match up and prevent the system from working. So, say the researchers, unless there is a database of the landscape images under every conceivable condition, VTRN systems can be easily confused.
The new algorithm addresses this by using deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to remove seasonal content that hinders current VTRN systems.
“The rule of thumb is that both images – the one from the satellite and the one from the autonomous vehicle – have to have identical content for current techniques to work,” says Anthony Fragoso (MS ’14, PhD ’18), lecturer and staff scientist, and lead author of a paper on the research. “The differences that they can handle are about what can be accomplished with an Instagram filter that changes an image’s hues. In real systems, however, things change drastically based on season because the images no longer contain the same objects and cannot be directly compared.”
The researchers’ process uses self-supervised learning, which, unlike most computer-vision strategies that rely on human annotators to label large data sets to teach an algorithm how to recognize what it is seeing, lets the algorithm teach itself. The AI looks for patterns in images by teasing out details and features that would likely be missed by humans.
Supplementing the current generation of VTRN with the new system, say the researchers, yields more accurate localization: in one experiment, the researchers attempted to localize images of summer foliage against winter leaf-off imagery using a standard correlation-based VTRN technique. They found that performance was no better than a coin flip, with 50 percent of attempts resulting in navigation failures.
In contrast, insertion of the new algorithm into the VTRN worked far better: 92 percent of attempts were correctly matched, and the remaining 8 percent could be identified as problematic in advance, and then easily managed using other established navigation techniques.
“Computers can find obscure patterns that our eyes can’t see and can pick up even the smallest trend,” says graduate student Connor Lee (BS ’17, MS ’19), one of the algorithm’s developers.
VTRN was in danger of turning into an infeasible technology in common but challenging environments, says Lee. “We rescued decades of work in solving this problem.”
Beyond the utility for autonomous drones on Earth, say the researchers, the system also has applications for space missions. The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) system on JPL’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover mission, for example, used VTRN for the first time on the Red Planet to land at the Jezero Crater – a site that was previously considered too hazardous for a safe entry.
With rovers such as Perseverance, “a certain amount of autonomous driving is necessary,” says Soon-Jo Chung, Bren Professor of Aerospace and Control and Dynamical Systems and research scientist at JPL, “since transmissions could take 20 minutes to travel between Earth and Mars, and there is no GPS on Mars.”
The researchers considered the Martian polar regions that also have intense seasonal changes – conditions similar to Earth – and the new system could allow for improved navigation to support scientific objectives including the search for water. Next, say the researchers, they will expand the technology to account for changes in the weather as well: fog, rain, snow, and so on, which, If successful, could help improve navigation systems for driverless cars.

Intel's second generation of the Compute Stick has arrived, ushering in needed upgrades and enhancements to a unique product. I rarely directly compare two products in a review, as I believe that each product deserves its time on stage, but I think it's relevant to compare the second generation of Intel's Compute Stick to the original.
Both sticks have the same amount of storage and RAM, with the second generation bringing in some hardware upgrades under the hood and a second USB port. I should mention that the Compute Stick reviewed here will be one of many Intel is launching this round. Higher-end Compute Sticks with Skylake based Core m3 and m5 and double the storage and RAM will be available soon, but they will cost upwards of double to triple that of the Atom x5 based one in this review.
This Compute Stick features a quad-core Atom x5-Z8300 processor which is a Cherry Trail-based SoC, which is the successor to the Bay Trail microarchitecture used in the original. The device still has only 2GB of DDR3L and 32GB of eMMC storage, but the microSD slot is still present. One of the most notable upgrades is the addition of a second USB port. Intel provides one USB 2.0 port and one USB 3.0 port, the Core m3/m5 models will have a single USB port but will come with a USB 3.0 hub built into the AD/DC adapter.
As far as power changes go, the second generation Atom based stick comes with a 3A/5V (15W) micro USB power adapter which isn't very common, so you will need to use the provided adapter as most (including the one with the first generation Compute Stick) only support up to 2A/5V (10W).
Intel has also updated the Wireless N on the first generation to dual-band Wireless-AC using an Intel 7265 controller instead of a Realtek solution. The new stick is also a little bit longer than the original.
This new Compute Stick will cost $159.99 and comes with Windows 10 32-bit installed.

The Sept Challenge was to create a bead woven work using black, white and only one other color. This was definitely a challenge for me because I tend to gravitate toward earthy, neutral palettes. Initially I played with yellow and turquoise as the accent color but I kept coming back to red.
As I worked in the stark black and white, I was reminded of Aunt Em and Uncle Henry’s black and white Kansas farm. The red seemed to be the pop of color from Oz. Maybe some poppies for Aunt Em? But not really poppy shaped.
Then, as I worked on the tila bead checkerboard patterned diamond, I started to think of Harlequin patterns in the Queen of Heart’s dress in Alice in Wonderland. The white and red beads reminded me of the starkness of the white roses with drops of red paint spilling off them.
As far as technical process, the focal is a round onyx surrounded by Superduos and seed beads and backed with ultrasuede. The diamond is made of tila beads, seed beads and daggers.
The rope is 18″ long and is stitched in 3 drop, zipped peyote. The toggle clasp is hand beaded and accented with tila and dagger beads.

Lately I have been very inspired by the beautiful blooms and wildflowers that we discover during our hikes. In particular, I loved the mountain laurel, dogwoods and lilies that we saw on our hike at Mt Pisgah. I found this cabochon at Ernie’s Rock Shop in Brevard and fell in love with the colors. My photography isn’t great but in person you can see the coral, salmon and delicate mint color in the Leopardskin Jasper stone. It took me a while and many visits to my favorite bead store (A Better Bead & Craft) to find all of the correct hues to match including some perfect glass pearls and salmon colored superduos. Again, my photography is awful but the stones in the background are a color called “honeydew” and they match up very well to the light green color in the stone. As always, the necklace is backed with ultrasuede and has a beaded toggle clasp.
When I was beading this, I knew I wanted the actual chain to be very lacy but simple enough. The earrings I really kind of made as just a freebie to go along with the necklace. I just felt like some dangles were needed! I think it would also look fine with simple pearls.
I think this would be the perfect set for a wedding, garden party or other elegant affair. It’s a bit of a departure for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it 🙂

This leopardskin jasper and onyx necklace was inspired by the exquisite sunsets on Lake Murray in Prosperity, SC. Our family spent a week in this unique town. It’s not a rich town, but you soon realize that prosperity isn’t always monetary. It really was a special place where we found an abundance of rest and family time. I guess, you could say my soul prospered. The colors from the lake, the land and the sunset all play a part in this necklace.
The leopardskin jasper cabochon is joined by 4 onyx stones, glass pearls, tilas and seed beads to create natural, edgy, sophisticated necklace. The toggle is hand beaded and the necklace measures 19 inches long.
This necklace was created for a competition and is way outside my comfort zone but I love that about it. The challenge was to incorporate a doodle or zentangle into a piece of jewelry. So…I started with my favorite Emily Dickinson poem and decided to incorporate a blue bird and a stark tree. I painted the bluebird and zentangle tree on a tiny black canvas. Then I embroidered beads around it, continuing the branches and blue sky. The chain is peyote stitch and toggle clasp is also beaded. In the drop down, I incorporated hand stamped verses from the poem and feather like fringe.
I love the colors in Labradorite. Within a tiny movement you can see blues, greens, purples, pinks, grays and golds. This pendant was inspired by a trip to Asheville and some of the Art Deco architecture we enjoyed. It’s weird because I grew up near Asheville but rarely did I ever pay attention to the downtown area. When I was growing up it was a wig store, a few quirky shops and a shoe store. Now I can appreciate the exquisite architecture and, like the Labradorite, many hues and nuances.
The pendant features Japanese seed beads, Czech glass beads and the Labradorite cabochon. The beaded chain is 20″ long with a hand beaded toggle clasp.
For years I have worked in metals and while I still enjoy working with copper and silver, beads are my newest passion.
I was so excited to find this jasper cabochon at our local gem store with this beautiful, storm-like pattern on the stone. The cabochon is surrounded by Japanese glass seed beads and Picasso Superduos. The chain is handbeaded with seed beads and the clasp is also hand-beaded.

Phoenix is a band that I was introduced to by my friend Sylvia Adams on a random afternoon drive in 2006. I have to admit that since first hearing Pheonix, I’ve been brutally addicted to them. I listen to a few of their tracks at least three times each, every week. I just can’t shake their appeal. Ok, maybe that’s five times each…
Last week…Phoenix played on SNL. It was like my hometown hero hitting a homerun for the Yankees; or like seeing DJ Neil Armstrong on Letterman last year. And I thought they were but only my secret obsession.
In any case, Phoenix are an amazing band from France…but they sing in English; yes, in English, even during the Bush era.
Please check them out. They are perfect for Sunday afternoons.
The band has a new album titled Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix that drops on May 25, 2009. BUY IT.
Here’s the link to the band’s website.
Here’s a link to all of their other videos on YouTube.

Why I do what I do:
The brief answer is because someone needed to do it. I have a child who copes and lives with the sorts of issues I work with now with my clients: anxiety, perfectionism, twice-exceptionality, intensity, dysgraphia and more. I’ve been the parent who is called to the principal’s office too many times, the parent who dealt with meltdowns that seemed to come out of nowhere. I’ve been worried about my son, embarrassed by him, angry with him, sad for him and joyful at what others might see as minor accomplishments. I’ve been able to learn to enjoy my life with him, but it’s been a long, crazy trip, and I didn’t have anyone I could go to for support and guidance. I’ve felt alone and misunderstood and crazy for thinking that my son is different from other kids. I’ve felt out of options, out of energy, out of ideas and out of patience – and still do, some of the time. But I also adore my quirky kid – I enjoy his sense of humor, his musicality, his intensity, his love of animals and his good-hearted intentions. He is awesome, and we have come to a pattern of life that works pretty well for the whole family.
What it is that I do:
This is something that has evolved over the 10 years that Gifted Matters has existed. After about 5 years in private practice, it became clear that the need for therapists who were knowledgeable about gifted/2e issues was greater than I, as an individual, could meet. So I began a training program. Now, in addition to working with my own individual clients, I also get to supervise the work of staff therapists. As a therapist, I work with adults, young adults, adolescents and parents who deal with being smart and struggling. I also write, speak, and train others about these issues.
What a client can expect when working with me:
After working with me, parents begin to feel less anxious about the prospects of living with and raising their child. They feel hopeful, and they begin to construct a personal roadmap of the terrain ahead and around them. Their relationship with their child is improved, and they are able to experience all the wonderful aspects of their unique child. They come out from under the pall of focusing only on areas of weakness and problems. They have new skills and strategies to help their child at home and in the world.
Parents also gain a deeper understanding of themselves, for as they learn about their child’s gifted issues, they frequently revisit their own childhood and understand themselves, and their own parents, differently.
The same is true for adults who work with me, or adolescents – we explore their understanding of themselves and the world, identify any areas where improved skills can help, deal with negative self-talk, find new ways of handling stress and develop a way of being in the world that is comfortable and enjoyable for them.
Other (possibly random) information about me:
I hold an IB certificate from my high school, The French-American International School in San Francisco, and I am fluent in French. My undergraduate degree was in music, with a focus on baroque violin performance practice. I’ve been a Bradley natural childbirth instructor, a sign-language for babies instructor, and a teacher of classes for men and women convicted of domestic violence crimes. I’ve co-authored many articles on giftedness, homeschooling and counseling in a variety of print and online venues. I’ve also co-authored two books: Making the Choice: When Typical School Doesn’t Fit Your Atypical Child and Writing your own Script: A Parent’s Role in the Gifted Child’s Social Development, both from GHF Press. I speak at conferences about giftedness, twice-exceptionality, homeschooling and counseling, and I occasionally give talks locally to groups of parents, educators or other providers. I’m a longtime collaborator with GHF: Gifted Homeschoolers Forum, and currently serve as a GHF Ambassador. I have a lot of other interesting projects I’m working on….when I’m not playing with yarn. There’s more detail on my LinkedIn page for those who are interested.

From memoirs to poetry, the rugged natural beauty and stark landscapes of the Oregon High Desert have been inspiring writers for centuries. Now, our unique environment is inspiring young writers to explore their creativity as part of the 2021 Waterston Student Essay Competition, hosted by the High Desert Museum.
The competition gets its name from local Bend area writer and poet, Ellen Waterston, a self-described "desert rat" who has four poetry collections and three nonfiction titles to her credit. Deeply inspired by the high desert environment she calls home, Waterston launched the original Waterston Desert Writing Prize in 2014 to "honor literary nonfiction that illustrates artistic excellence, sensitivity to place, and desert literacy—with the desert as both subject and setting," according to the competition's website.

The original competition was geared primarily toward adults until just last year, when a student version was launched. While the original adult prize remains centered on a nonfiction, full-length book proposal, the idea was to offer a short essay contest specifically for high school-aged teenagers. As Waterston explains, "engaging students in writing and the literary arts is a strong priority."
While both the adult and teen versions have different parameters, they share a common root. According to Waterston, "Both the Waterston Desert Writing Prize (for adults) and the student essay competition are ways for established and younger writers to examine the role of deserts in their lives and, more generally, in the human narrative."
In 2020, local Redmond student Al Lehto took home the inaugural student prize with their essay entitled "The Badlands," which centered on their experiences in the desert badlands east of Bend. "Al Lehto wrote a masterful essay on their artist-mother's love of the high desert as the subject of her paintings and how excursions into the high desert as a child influenced Al's deep appreciation of the high desert now," Waterston says.
This year, high school students in 9th - 12th grades from across Central Oregon are invited to participate in the nonfiction writing contest and may focus on any aspect of the High Desert. Whether describing a place, relating a personal story, detailing an observation, or addressing a contemporary issue facing the region, students are encouraged to use their creativity.
"The word 'essay' sometimes suggests a certain type of writing," Waterston states, "but in fact, nonfiction includes lyric, documentary, and narrative styles, so there's lots of latitude. Students are encouraged to let the prompt of an essay about the desert lead them where it will. There's no one right answer."
In that spirit, the contest hopes "to foster young writers and discover what young creatives want to share about this beautiful region we call home," according to the website. Eligibility extends to all public school, private school, and home-school students, as long as they are 18 years old or younger and reside in Crook, Deschutes, Harney, Jefferson, or Lake County. Essays must be between 750 and 1,000 words and must never have been previously published, including in school newsletters.

All entries will be judged on their ability to contribute to our community's understanding and appreciation of our unique High Desert region, cultures, and environment. Originality, clarity of expression, and accuracy will also be evaluated, and all entries will be judged blind, as participants are instructed to exclude their names, schools, or any other identifying information in their submissions. The final deadline is May 1, 2021, with the winner announced later in May by the Waterston Desert Writing Prize advisory committee to the High Desert Museum.
For young writers who take up the pen, this contest provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase their writing talents and earn accolades for their college resume or professional writing career. In addition to a $250 cash prize, the winner will be honored at a special awards ceremony and reception hosted by the High Desert Museum in September 2021. Their winning essay will also be published online and promoted by the museum as an example of nonfiction literary excellence.
Ultimately, "the goal of the regional student essay competition is to encourage young writers to engage with a desert landscape through writing, to observe and speculate about deserts, the impact of desert landscapes on them and the impact of humans on deserts," Waterston says. "The opportunity for the student writer is to dig deeper into their relationship with a particular landscape."

Deadline is May 1, 2021

Much of the pain in life comes from having a life plan that you've fallen in love with and when it doesn't work out, you become angry that you now have to pursue a new life plan. If you want to tame your inner demons, you must not become too attached to any particular life plan, and remain open to there being an even better, happier life plan.
Expectations: noun - a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.
- a belief that someone will or should achieve something.
Expectations are the root of all heartache." William Shakespeare
Many people put expectations on their relationships, but even worse, they often put them on themselves. This can be much harder to accept when you feel that you have let yourself down. Projecting into the future often creates suffering in one form or another. If you have the belief that you should accomplish certain goals or positions within a designated time period (ie. a life plan) you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.
You have no way of foretelling the future. You are simply adding extra stress to your life trying to keep up with your self-imposed goals. It doesn't hurt to move outside your comfort zone or strive for the next rung on the ladder, but if you are to are too attached to the goal, it could harm your health and/or relationships.
"Doing your best is more important than being the best." Zig Ziglar
You don't want to become too attached to future results, life is about living in the moment...it is all you really have. Everything in moderation. Don't be so hard on yourself, try to enjoy the life you have, be open to there being a better, happier life plan.

text: In 1997, the World Bank announced a strategy to combat corruption, despite earlier claims that its non-political mandate forbade this work. Despite many attempts to reshape corruption into a purely economic issue, it has never satisfactorily addressed this mandate. Instead, the Bank has become increasingly politicised as it moves from traditional public sector reform work to community empowerment and civil society. The Bank has sought to mainstream this work into all of its projects, resulting in a programme that is overly complex and threatens the Bank's overall capacity. However, there is much good work being done - in procurement, internal ethics, public sector reform and bringing international attention to corruption. This book argues that the Bank should focus on its strengths and avoid the more controversial and ineffective components of its anti-corruption programme, which threaten the credibility of the institution as a whole.

Brian Lenihan is dead
The former Minister for Finance died today. He’d been fighting pancreatic cancer since late 2009, and refused to step down even though he was trying to fix the country’s finances.
A lot of people wouldn’t agree with his decisions, especially the bank guarantee, but a lot of people actually liked him. Quite a few of the comments in that article said he was quite courageous, putting the country before his own health, which I have to agree with.
Still not sure if I agree or disagree with his policies, but I can’t say I hated him or had any contempt for him – unlike BIFFO.

De Pere program connects veterans with students
An educational program bringing military veterans, students and staff together at De Pere Middle School continues to run in high gear, more than a decade after it was founded.
The annual event, run in conjunction with Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs and the Veterans in the Classroom Program, pulls together veterans from various eras of service, from World War II and Korea to Vietnam and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
About 40 veterans will be at the school talking to students on Tuesday, Veterans Day.
Parker Hansen, a social studies teacher at the school, is one of the staff members behind the program that started with about a dozen veterans 12 years ago. It has grown in the ensuing years.
"It's been a really rewarding experience," he said. "To go from a dozen people to right around 40, it's an impressive sight to see when you get all of them in one room and see all the different eras that have been represented.
"The one thing that is most impressive about everybody that I've met, and there isn't one that doesn't fit this mold, is they are the most humble people I think I've ever met," Hansen said. "They can't thank me enough for doing it ... but I tell them, 'I'm just the guy who puts it together, I'm the one who makes the phone calls. If you weren't willing to volunteer, this program wouldn't take off. '"
About 900,000 Wisconsinites have served in the military since the Civil War.
The largest number, 332,200, served in the World War II era, according to the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs. About 24,608 of those veterans continue to live in the state.
Vietnam era veterans, 145,129, make up the largest group of veterans living in the state.
Over the years, Hansen said he's developed a connection with the veterans involved with the program.
"For some of these men and women, this is an outlet," he said. "There's one gentleman who was a Vietnam veteran ... he said, 'Coming here is my parade. My welcome home I didn't get.'"
Hansen said the program works on a number of levels, from fostering a sense of appreciation among students, to providing an outlet for veterans. It also serves as an exercise in history.
"These were average people who chose this path," he said. "When I see veterans now, and I look at each one of them and it's 'That person has a story.' That's one of the things I tell the kids, and the staff, these people are walking history. But eventually, they're all going to pass.
"You need to share what you learn from these people," Hansen said. " When they're gone, if we don't keep their stories alive, their stories go with them."
Here's an estimate of living veterans in Wisconsin as of 2013:
• Wartime: 298,054
• Peacetime: 111,365

A shooting at a boxing club in Ireland has left one person dead and two critically injured, including Pete Taylor, father of unified women’s lightweight champion Katie Taylor.
The shooting occurred early in the morning of July 5 at the Bray Boxing Club in Ireland just as a gym session was about to start.
According to ESPN, a 50-year-old man died at the scene with two other being injured from the shooting. The two people who were injured are in a hospital and receiving treatment. The other person injured in the shooting was a 35-year-old man. It is believed that none of their injuries are life threatening. An Garda Suíochána, the Irish police, told ESPN that one fatality occurred in the incident at 6:55 a.m. Garda Superintendent Pat Ward said the gunman came in with a firearm and opened fire and left the scene.
"There were about 15-20 people in the gym. They were just about to start their session when a gunman came in carrying a firearm, we believe it was a handgun, and he started opening fire. Three people received gunshot wounds… We know that the gunman left the scene in a silver Volkswagen Caddy," Ward said, adding that they don’t know if the shooter had a specific motive.
Katie Taylor, the unified WBA and IBF women’s lightweight champion is currently training in the United States. Katie began her career at the Bray Boxing Club which was founded by Peter. Katie would then go on to win a gold medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Xherdan Shaqiri up for grabs as Schalke walk away
Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham will be relieved to hear that Xherdan Shaqiri is still on the market
Who says the Germans have no sense of humour? Not the Daily Star, which claims that Schalke have "laughed off speculation" linking them with a January move for Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri.
The news that the Swiss sizzler is still very much on the market will be a tonic to Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham. The Premier League trio have heard rumours to the effect that the 22-year-old Shaqiri "is reportedly unhappy" in Munich and it's believed one or all will table big money bids in the New Year.
Schalke had been strongly tipped to make an offer for the wideman too, but in an interview with German rag Sportsbild, the club's sporting director, Horst Heldt, said the idea was preposterous.
"He is a great player, but we are sufficiently well staffed for wingers," he said. "A move would make no sense."
Meanwhile Metro claims that Arsenal are ready to have a "tug-of-war" with Manchester United over Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar the minute the January transfer window opens.
United have long been linked with a move for the Dutch international, with manager Louis van Gaal confident he can persuade the Villa hard man to make the move to Old Trafford.
But Metro says Arsene Wenger has now identified the 29-year-old Vlaar as the man to stiffen the sinews of the shambolic Arsenal defence. Vlaar is out of contract with Villa at the end of the season and though the club wants to keep hold of their captain, the board might decide to sell in the New Year rather than see him leave on a free transfer in the summer.
And if United do miss out on Vlaar, might they make a move for another Dutch defender? The Express seems to think so, saying that van Gaal is considering a "£10 million January bid" for Bruno Martins Indi.
The 22-year-old started six of Holland's seven games at the World Cup and is currently with Porto having moved to Portugal from Feyenoord last summer.
Finally Talksport reports that Queen's Park Rangers' manager Harry Redknap has confirmed that the club is tailing Toronto FC striker Jermain Defore. It was thought that QPR might have snapped up the former Tottenham and England strike last summer but the paperwork couldn't be concluded in time for the deadline and the 32-year-old remained across the Pond.
But when asked if he still had designs on Defoe, Redknapp replied: "I am a big fan of Jermain…I haven't spoken to the chairman about it but we will see, I know what we need. The figures would have to be right, and it's a player we would like."

Regional property assessments relatively stable in 2011
Not much change is the phrase of the day for 2011 property assessments rolling out to the Boundary this week. Business property owners are likely to see an increase in their values right across the region with Grand Forks being the highest, but residential values dropped everywhere except the City of Grand Forks itself which saw a slight increase. The slight increases or decreases seen in the Boundary are signs of a stable market, says Dan Gaudry, Regional Deputy Assessor. “When you see minus five, plus five percent, which is what’s happening, we’re regarding that as a fairly stable market place,” says Gaudry. “It’s not inconsistent with elsewhere. The amount of new construction in this region at large is down, but there wasn’t as much new construction in that area to begin with so there’s not really a big change there.” Assessments are the estimate of a property’s market value as of July 1, 2010. Real estate sales in the area determine that value which is reported annually by BC Assessment on notices. Gaudry says that although the numbers are not broken out on their website, the rural area around Grand Forks is down a couple of percent including Christina Lake. Residential values in Greenwood are down -2.83 percent over last year’s assessment, Midway is down -0.18, while Grand Forks is up 1.68. “A typical family home (in Greenwood) that was assessed at $174,000 on the last assessment is now valued at $170,000 for 2011. In Midway a typical single family home was $172,000 in 2010 is now valued at $170,000 for the 2011 assessment,” explains Gaudry. “In Grand Forks the family home that was assessed at $293,000 on the last assessment is now valued at $297,000 for the 2011 assessment.” Business values are up 9.01 percent in Grand Forks, 1.32 percent in Greenwood and 5.0 percent in Midway. But don’t confuse assessments with taxes. Local governments and other taxing authorities are responsible for property taxes and will be setting rates later this spring as they look at their budgets. “Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2010 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact the BC Assessment office indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” says Gaudry. There are assessors available in their Penticton office at Service BC, 40 Calgary Ave., or by phone at 1-800-990-1192. The appeal cut-off deadline is Jan. 31. A new feature this year is the BC Assessment website at www.bcassessment.ca where you can do a comparison for sales in your area online or click on the e-valueBC link. If you haven’t received your assessment by Jan. 19 please call 1-800-668-0086 so they can get your assessment to you, says Gaudry. The Grand Forks area assessment roll increased from $548.1 last year to $566.1 for 2011, Greenwood went from $76.2 million to $74.4 million, and Midway increased from $100.4 million to $100.6 this year.
For the first time in B.C. history, the total value of all 1.9 million real estate properties on the provincial assessment roll has surpassed $1 trillion. Go to www.bcassessment.ca and click on the 2011 assessment roll for more information.

Staunton, February 21 – Vladimir Putin has already extended the age limit for senior officials so that they can serve into their 70s or even longer. Now Duma deputy Andrey Klishas has introduced a bill that would allow officials to serve in regions for up to ten years and be rotated only every five.
Such arrangements, Svobodnya pressa commentator Sergey Aksyonov says will mean that officials will stay in place ever longer, that there will be fewer opportunities for younger Russians to rise through the ranks, and that Putin’s Russia is sinking every more rapidly into the kind of stagnation seen in Brezhnev’s times (svpressa.ru/politic/article/290603/).
Combined with the constitutional changes that allow Putin to remain in office for life, changes that Klishas was involved with, these moves mean, social psychologist Aleksey Roshchin tells Aksyonov, that Russia is well on the way to “a Putin stagnation” resembling Brezhnev’s.
“Our system of power,” the psychologist says, “very much fears any changes and distrusts the rising ‘sea of young people,” a sea that is becoming “ever larger both absolutely and relatively because those in power are aging and then passing from the scene. Those in power want to do what they can to block that trend.
Many senior officials are now “far older than 60” and they fear they will be pushed from the scene before their time. That will cost them status and comfort and raise questions about where the country is going because young people will always try to introduce changes and thus call the current situation into question.
Some of these elderly officials are nonetheless quite good at their jobs, but many remain in place not because of that but because they know how to block the rise of the young and any change that could threaten them or others, Roshchin says. They thus operate as “brakes” rather than “drivers” of society.
A particular reason that many of these aging leaders have adopted this defensive stance is their memory of the late USSR. For them, the ideal leader is someone who doesn’t change anything rather than someone who starts making changes that lead to unpredictable and unwelcome outcomes.
Dmitry Zhuravlyev, head of the Moscow Institute of Regional Problems and a former staffer in the Presidential Administration, argues that the Klishas proposal may have other consequences and some of them are even to be welcomed if Moscow recognizes the possibilities they offer.
Moscow sometimes believes that rotating cadres in the regions will defeat corruption, but in fact, frequent rotation won’t defeat corruption but “create chaos.” And that is more dangerous both in terms of the amount of corruption around and the stability of the country. But there are problems with too much stability of cadres in the regions.
“The smaller the elite group, the more its members hold on to other another. Frequently, these people live in one part of town. If the law requires them to rotate positions, they will do so but only among themselves,” Zhuravlyev says. That may create other difficulties that Moscow should try to avoid.
Indeed, the Klishas bill may even prove to be “a gift to regional elites.”
The same cannot be said of Putin’s decision to allow senior officials to serve long beyond 70, he continues. After the ouster of Khrushchev, CPSU ideologist Mikhail Suslov officially introduced the concept of “’stability of cadres,” according to which officials should only be changed when there is an obvious need.
How that ended is unfortunately well-known, Zhuravlyev says, with “a five-year period of pompous funerals” and the subsequent collapse of the system. The current regime, by repeating the stability of cadres approach, is at risk of reprising both phenomena unless it recognizes the danger and works hard to limit it.

Over the past three months South Korea has experienced one of its most unusual East Asian summer monsoon (Changma) seasons since 1973. Torrential rains wreaked havoc across the country, causing landslides, flooding and taking lives. Citizens want to know: was the abnormal rainfall in Korea linked to global warming?
The short answer is “no”.
Temperatures on our planet have increased over the past 100 years by about 1oC, global sea level has risen by 20cm, and summer heat waves have become more common in many regions. Human activities, in particular fossil fuel burning, are largely to blame for these changes. However, the fact that our planet is warming on average does not necessarily imply that all regional extreme rainfall events are caused by global warming. There are three main factors that contribute to long-term rainfall changes over Korea: 1) naturally occurring rainfall fluctuations that are unrelated to human activities, 2) global warming, with the tendency to increase Changma by about 2–4% per degree Celsius in global mean temperature rise and 3) anthropogenic aerosol emissions, which tend to reduce summer rain. Climate model simulations clearly show that over the past century, the two anthropogenic factors (greenhouse gases and aerosols) were only minor contributors to the observed variations in rainfall over the Korean Peninsula.
What is Changma?
Changma represents the seasonal return of an extended band of tropical moisture and rainfall in summertime. Seasonal warming over continental Asia in June causes air to rise, which creates lower pressure at the surface. More humid air from the ocean is then sucked towards this low pressure. However, instead of moving in a straight line, the air takes a D-tour and flows towards the right of the main pressure force. This effect is due to the Coriolis force (an inertial force, which occurs on rotating objects). Along the twisted clockwise flow, which becomes part of the western Pacificsubtropical high, humid tropical air flows towards the Korean Peninsula. There it encounters drier conditions to the north which can act as an “invisible wall” along which the tropical moisture begins to rain out. This process forms the normal Changma rainband (Fig. 1). As increasing solar radiation warms the continent from June to August, the rainband gradually moves northwards, causing massive downpours first in Eastern China and Japan and later in South and North Korea. However, if we look at daily satellite images, the process becomes more complicated: periods of gradual northward rainband movement are interrupted by short periods of more chaotic flow: associated with the upper atmospheric Jetstream, small low-pressure systems (storms) can form over China and intensify over the West Sea. These relatively short-lived systems (~5-7 days) can suck moisture from lower latitudes towards the Korean Peninsula (Fig. 1). These low- pressure cells typically move eastward following the overall flow of the Jetstream. This process can cause alternating episodes of extreme rainfall and nice weather over the Korean Peninsula. In fact, many of the severe rains over the past two months were associated with such small-scale atmospheric weather disturbances, which interacted with the main large-scale moisture front.
What causes year-to-year changes in Changma?
Going back through atmospheric data of the past years, we find that the position of the main rainband and the intensity as well as the frequency of the small-scale weather systems, which are partly responsible for extreme downpours, changes considerably from year to year (Fig. 2). Not every year is the same; some are drier over Korea (e.g. 1992, 1994, 2014–2019), some are wetter, such as 1998, 2006, 2011, and 2020. Why is this? We need to acknowledge first, that the atmosphere can generate such year-to-year changes just through its internal chaotic motion. External drivers such as global warming or differences in oceanic temperature conditions are not required to generate an extreme Changma season.
In addition to the capricious and nearly unpredictable behavior of the atmosphere, external factors can also influence the frequency of occurrence and persistence of rain events. For instance, unusual ocean temperature conditions or snow cover over the Tibetan Plateau can create stationary atmospheric waves(similar to the ripples that form when a stone is thrown into a pond). These large-scale structures of alternating high and low-pressure cells can interact with the local monsoon systems, by bending the wind directions and shifting the path and intensity of small weather disturbances. These processes can alter the transport of moisture towards South Korea and the associated rainfall. Last, but not least, global warming can influence monsoon characteristics in two ways: 1) a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture; when it rains, there is more moisture available that can rain out, 2) human-induced temperature changes can also trigger stationary atmospheric waves, which could impact the summer atmospheric circulation over South Korea. Which is of these mechanisms acts as the main culprit for the extraordinary Changma condition in 2020 will be discussed below.
Summary answer: Internal atmospheric fluctuations play a crucial role in generating year-to-year changes in Changma.
How unusual was this Changma season?
According to a network of rain gauge observations across South Korea covering the last 48 years, the 2020 Changma season (extending from June to August 15th) has been highly unusual, both in terms of total rainfall amount and rain event duration. It ranks third, following 2011 (1st) and 1998 (2nd) (Fig. 2). In the last weeks, more than twice the normal Changma rain fell over South Korea. However, the area-averaged daily rainfall maxima were not unprecedented in 2020 (Fig. 3), which further emphasizes the importance of the rainfall event duration and persistence in explaining the uniqueness of this season, in particular from late July to mid of August.
Summary answer: The 2020 Changma season over South Korea has been abnormally strong, but it ranks only 3rdin terms of June–August 15thaveraged rainfall. A particularly long-lasting rainfall episode from late July to mid of August contributed strongly to the overall season average.
Are there any observed long-term trends of rainfall over South Korea?
Rainfall data for South Korea show no apparent (statistically significant) linear trend over the period from 1973–2020, neither in the June–August 15thaverage rainfall (Fig. 2), nor in the magnitude of extreme rainfall events. Scientists have long known, that, unlike for surface temperatures, it is very difficult to detect the global warming effect in regional rainfall records across the world. This can be explained by the fact that the atmosphere itself is capable of generating a high level of naturally occurring fluctuations in winds and rainfall.
Summary answer: Considering the period from 1973–2020 there are no clear long-term trends in average and extreme rainfall over Korea.
What factors influenced the 2020 rainy season?
Atmospheric data show that the Korean Peninsula was wedged between very persistent high-pressure systems, one located south of Japan and a smaller and weaker one over eastern Siberia (Fig. 1). Whereas the southern system (related to the Northwestern Pacific subtropical High) provided the moisture for Korean Changma, the northern one created northerly (southward) winds which held the moisture in place over the Korean Peninsula, creating more persistent rain. Furthermore, atmospheric data for June to August show a pronounced strengthening of the jet stream (upper atmosphere westerly winds) over Korea (Fig. 4) and the development of an upper-level trough in July. These unusual conditions doubled the atmospheric potential to generate small-scale low-pressure systems. Such events were observed in particular in late June and early July, drenching Korea in heavy rain. This Changma season is highly dynamic with elongated rainbands, fast-moving low-pressure systems and even typhoons contributing to the mix of unusual weather conditions.
Broadening our view to the entire Northern Hemisphere, a characteristic atmospheric wave pattern, with five alternating low and high-pressure systems spanned the extratropical atmosphere in June–July. The anomalous pressure patterns over Korea in June and July were part of this larger hemispheric wave train, which bears some resemblance to the so-called circumglobal teleconnection pattern. This is an atmospheric flow state, which can emerge simply by internal climatic processes, in particular the interaction between atmospheric waves and mean flow circulation and ocean temperatures.
Summary answer: A strengthening of the atmospheric jet stream triggered small-scale low-pressure cells which in turn enhanced the transport of moisture towards the Korean Peninsula, leading to unprecedented rains. The large-scale hemispheric flow was an important contributor to the persistence of the rainy conditions in Korea.
Did Arctic warming contribute to the 2020 Changma season?
Over the past weeks, some media outlets reported that the recent Arctic warmingmay have played an important role in establishing anomalous atmospheric conditions which in turn contributed or caused the extreme 2020 Changma rain. If correct, this would suggest a linkage between global warming and the unusual conditions over Korea in 2020. However, the statistical and physical evidence for this linkage is weak. Many years of strong Arctic warming in the past, such as e.g. 2012, 2015, 2019, were not accompanied by increased Changma rains, but drier conditions (Fig. 2). Moreover, long-term observations of Arctic temperatures show a clear summer warming trend of about 2oC since the 1980s, whereas such a trend is absent in the observed Korean rainfall data (Fig. 2). The low statistical correlation between these two observations (~0.1) clearly illustrates that averaged summer Arctic temperatures are not a major driver for Korean rainfall variations and only explain a few percent of its year-to-year changes. We also need to emphasize here that it is very difficult to unequivocally link the occurrence of a single regional extreme event (2020 Changma) lasting for only two to three months to a trend which lasted for at least four decades (Arctic warming and sea-ice decline).
Summary answer: The effect of Arctic warming on South Korean rainfall is considerably weaker than other processes such as internal atmospheric instabilities.
How will global warming affect future Korean rainfall?
Global warming is real. Human activities have been the major cause for the observed planetary ~1oC warming since the mid-20thcentury. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture due to the thermodynamical Clausius-Clapeyron relationship. If the atmospheric conditions remain unchanged, more moisture leads to more rainfall. However, global warming also influences the large-scale atmospheric circulation. Climate models show that as a result of wind changes, areas that are already quite dry presently (e.g. in the subtropics), are likely to experience on average more severe droughts in future. Scientists refer to this as the expansion of the subtropics. South Korea is located at the northern edge of the subtropics, which means that the effect of future global warming-induced atmospheric circulation changes will also play an important role in generating rainfall trends, in addition to the thermodynamic effect. To determine the impact of global warming on Korean rainfall, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics in Busan use one of Korea’s fastest supercomputers, called Aleph. Running climate models (~1 million lines of computer code, to solve the fundamental physical equations for the atmosphere, ocean, land and radiation), we find that increasing future greenhouse gas emissions over the next decades will lead to an average summer (June to August) rainfall increase over South Korea of about 2–4 % per 1oC global warming. If greenhouse gas concentrations are not reduced substantially, our computer model simulations show that average Korean summer rainfall will increase by about 10–15% over the next 80 years (Fig. 5). However, running these computer models back in time using the observed emissions of greenhouse gases and anthropogenic aerosols, we find a very different result. According to the supercomputer simulations, the combined effect of global warming and atmospheric aerosols caused a slight decrease of summer rainfall over Korea of about -1 to -3% (from 1900 to around 2000). It should, however, be noted that given the large natural year-to-year fluctuations (Fig. 5), the human-induced trend over the past 100 years would essentially remain undetectable in the observed record.
Summary answer: Over the past 100 years, the combined effect of global warming and anthropogenic aerosols, caused a slight reduction in Korean summer rainfall of about -1 to -3%. Over the next 80 years the global warming effect will win over the aerosol effect, leading to a future summer rainfall increase over Korea by about 10-15%, unless drastic action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. This time it was the bear who broke in. It seemed no one was at home so a Russian bear decided to taste what was on the stove of a Siberian country cottage. Not too hot, not too cold, the pot of borscht was just right. The bear devoured the entire pot of the beet root soup before the owners spotted him, called the police, and the bear, like Goldilocks before him, fled into the forest. It's MORNING EDITION.

More details are emerging after a pair of U.S. commando raids over the weekend that targeted alleged terrorists in Libya and Somalia.
In Libya, Abu Anas al-Libi, a top al-Qaida operative accused by Washington of involvement in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, was snatched from a street in the capital, Tripoli, in an operation on Saturday.

Two Americans, James Rothman and Randy Schekman, and German-born researcher Thomas Südhof have won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "solving the mystery of how the cell organizes its transport system," according to the Nobel committee.
OK. This year's Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine will go to three scientists who have figured out how cells package up material - like hormones - and how they deliver those materials to other cells. This is one of the most basic functions for living cells and diseases can result when the machinery goes awry, so it's important to understand.
And with some perspective on why the two sides are so dug in, and what options Speaker Boehner and President Obama may be weighing, we turn as we do most Mondays to Cokie Roberts. Good morning.
COKIE ROBERTS, BYLINE: Hi. How are you, Renee?
MONTAGNE: And Cokie, given what Tamara just reported, that a small but very key group of Republicans are unlikely to go along with a possible solution to the next crisis that's looming - that's a possible default on the national debt - what does Speaker Boehner do?
When the rest of the government shuts down for a blizzard, the U.S. Supreme Court soldiers on. And so it is that this week, with the rest of the government shut down in a political deep freeze, the high court, being deemed essential, is open for business.
It is, after all, not just any week for the justices. It is the opening of a new term.

How are Globalisation and Colonisation linked?
Globalization is a form of colonialism that prevents the development of third world countries. Oppressed countries were forced to consume goods that were brought by their colonialists; in return they gave up their own productivity, this lead to high revenues for the colonialists and exploitation for their colonies.
Do you agree that globalization is a form of colonialism?
Colonialism had been put into action throughout a long line of history and did not end after World War II in 1945. Globalization, a form of colonialism, maintained power for the system over states or regions through economic terms with the development of the World Bank, and its derivation of structural adjustments.
What is the difference between colonialism and colonization?
Colonization vs Colonialism Colonization: is the action or process of settling among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area. Colonialism: is the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically.
What does Colonisation in Africa mean?
Colonialism is the direct and overall domination of one country by another on the basis of state power being in the hands of a foreign power (For example, the direct and overall domination of Nigeria by Britain between 1900-1960). The first objective of colonialism is political domination.
What are the differences between globalization and colonization?
By definition, globalization is the expansion of communication links between different regions whereas colonialism was the expansion of both power and territory. However, the two are similar in the sense that the powerful have an upper hand and can increase their profits at the expense of the poor.
What is the difference of globalization and colonization?
Colonization was the practice of invading another country and exploiting their natural resources for further production. Globalization is the practice of exploiting cheap labor to import cheaper and more efficient products.
How is globalization different from colonization?
What is the definition Colonisation?
1 : an act or instance of colonizing: such as. a : the establishing of a colony (see colony sense 1) : subjugation of a people or area especially as an extension of state power The news arrives at a time of debate over how museums should handle artifacts acquired through colonization and conquest.—
What is the difference between colonization and globalization?
What was the main difference between colonialism and imperialism?
Colonialism is a term where a country conquers and rules over other regions. It means exploiting the resources of the conquered country for the benefit of the conqueror. Imperialism means creating an empire, expanding into the neighbouring regions and expanding its dominance far.
What are the advantages of colonialism in Africa?
Africans were able to reap the benefits of the introduction of railways and mining technology. Furthermore, being colonised meant deeper integration into world trade.
What is difference between colonialism and imperialism?
Though both the words underline suppression of the other, Colonialism is where one nation assumes control over the other and Imperialism refers to political or economic control, either formally or informally. Imperialism means creating an empire, expanding into the neighbouring regions and expanding its dominance far.
What is the relationship between colonization and globalization?
The United Nations was founded after two world wars to establish some world order Colonization and globalization are the same in that in both cases, stronger and weaker forces meet to share resources disproportionately. One type of colonization is where a large enough group of people leave a crowded place to settle in another place far away.
What is classical colonialism in Africa?
Classical colonialism in Africa started in the nineteenth century. Like the colonization of the Americans and the Atlantic Slave Trade, it was systemic violence – organized, continuous, methodic a nd willful. It was not only integral capitalism, but also coexistent with racism, cultural domination and E uropean self-aggrandizement.
Is metacolonialism the same as colonialism?
Specifically, Metacolonialism emanates from the same geography and societies as did the Atlantic Slave Trade, classical colonialism and neocolonialism. What’s the difference between colonialism and neo-colonialism?
What is an example of colonization in geography?
One type of colonization is where a large enough group of people leave a crowded place to settle in another place far away. One example were the Europeans who settled in North America and eventually grew into the first thirteen colonies in New England.

The share of families living in middle income neighborhoods dropped from 65% in 1970 to 44% in 2007, according to a new study by US2010. In other words, a much larger proportion of families are living in rich neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods.
Income segegation has all kinds of negative effects, including a vicious cycle where poor kids go to poor schools and meet fewer opportunities.
Here's a chart (Light blue and light red represent middle income neighborhoods):
