Food and beer fuel Marston's growth
Thursday 07 October 2010
The brewer and pubs operator Marston's said its focus on food and local beers was paying off as it reported an improved trading performance yesterday.
The company, which counts the Pitcher & Piano and Tavern Table brands among its 2,000-plus pubs, and brews ales including Pedigree, Hobgoblin and Brakspear, said the financial year for the 12 months to 2 October showed stronger trends in all three of its operating divisions.
Sales in its 489-strong managed pubs business rose 1.7 per cent during the year and by the same percentage in the final nine weeks of the trading period. A 2.5 per cent rise in food sales outstripped drinks growth of 1.4 per cent as Marston's benefited from its "F-Plan strategy", which saw it focus on "food, families, females and forty/fiftysomethings". Food sales now account for about 40 per cent of sales in its managed estate and has been accompanied by a plan to build more outlets.
Like-for-like profits in Marston's tenanted and leased pubs division, meanwhile, are expected to be 3.7 per cent below last year, compared with the 4.5 per cent decline reported in May. The beer business is likely to report turnover and operating profits slightly ahead of last year.
Shares in Marston's closed 1.95p higher last night at 97.6p, valuing the company at £557m. Analysts hailed it as a decent performance in the face of dire late summer weather. The company is expected to report annual profits of £73m, up slightly on a year ago.

North Harbour Heritage
Retaining and preserving the historical remnants of the North Harbour site was important part of the North Harbour planning process and the area has been listed and protected on the Queensland Heritage Register since 2011 as a place of Queensland State Significance.
The North Harbour site was speculatively developed as a cotton farm, in the 1860s, with a company of business partners being owners, one of whom was George Raff. After this joint venture wound up, Mr. Raff purchased the cotton business land and developed it as a sugar cane plantation and processing works.
A Scottish settler, Raff named this Sugar development ‘Moray Fields’, to complement his Moray Bank house in New Farm, Brisbane. The “Moray” reference is recognition of his origins in Morayshire in north east Scotland and gave rise to the Morayfield suburb name which still exists today. Raff is an extremely significant person in state history having been intimately involved in the early development of Queensland. He was a member of the second Queensland Parliament and a prominent Brisbane local businessman, operating in and out of Raff’s Wharf on the Brisbane River.
Mr Raff was a prominent supporter of the use of Australian South Sea Islanders as labour on plantations. It remains unclear how many Islander labourers worked on the plantation, but late 1860s newspaper reports suggest up to 70 at a time. These workers came from several islands in the South Pacific, but particularly from modern day Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Space is provided for Australian South Sea Islanders to remember their ancestors at this place.
After the plantation closed, the former plantation lands were later divided into paddocks for grazing dairy cows, though some portions continued to be cultivated. Successive owners erected new buildings and structures, such as sheds and fences. Some plantation-era buildings were re-used, including the ‘mansion’ and possibly some sheds by the Caboolture River.
A Queenslander-style house was also built close to the lagoon for share-farmers and their families. In the 1950s, a new farm house complex was built and the former plantation owner’s house abandoned and demolished. By the 1960s dairying had ceased and the land sold to A.P.M. Forests Pty Ltd. Most of the property was converted into pine plantation. North Harbour purchased the site in 2004.

(Reuters) – At least 10 different drug compounds ranging from cancer therapies to antipsychotics and antihistamines may be effective at preventing the new coronavirus from multiplying in the body, according to a multidisciplinary study conducted by a team of scientists in the United States and France.
FILE PHOTO: A computer image created by Nexu Science Communication together with Trinity College in Dublin, shows a model structurally representative of a betacoronavirus which is the type of virus linked to COVID-19, better known as the coronavirus linked to the Wuhan outbreak, shared with Reuters on February 18, 2020. NEXU Science Communication/via REUTERS
The researchers mapped the human proteins the virus interacts with inside the body when it infects cells and makes copies of itself, then looked for compounds that could block the virus from using those proteins.
The result showed that 47 compounds in cell cultures had the desired effect, at least 10 of which are already in approved drugs or being studied for diverse conditions, but could be repurposed against COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus.
Researchers have been rushing to develop experimental therapies as well as to repurpose existing drugs to treat patients with COVID-19 and communities are pinning high hopes on Gilead Sciences Inc’s experimental antiviral drug, remdesivir.
In the new study, published in the journal Nature here on Thursday, candidates for repurposing included allergy medicine ingredients including clemastine, the antipsychotic haloperidol, and malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
The study also revealed why hydroxychloroquine is often found to have toxic effects on the heart.
The malaria drug, which has been repeatedly touted by U.S. President Donald Trump, binds to a receptor on human cells, which the virus needs to infect the cell.
But hydroxychloroquine also hits a particular protein in the heart tissue, which could explain the drug’s effect on heart rhythms – a side effect recently flagged by U.S. and EU health regulators.
The team also found that an experimental chemical, PB28, was 20-times more potent than hydroxychloroquine in targeting the receptor, but had far less affinity for the heart protein.
The hormone progesterone was also found to act against the virus, which might shed some light on the reasons that men appear to be more susceptible to COVID-19 and more often suffer severe complications.
Another compound found to have antiviral activity was plitidepsin, used in Madrid-based PharmaMar’s experimental cancer therapy Aplidin that is currently being tested in COVID-19 trials in Spain.
“Some of our drugs and compounds are many times more potent than remdesivir, at least in a laboratory setting,” study author Nevan Krogan of the University of California San Francisco, said in a media briefing.
Gilead’s remdesivir could be the closest to regulatory approval after initial trial results on Wednesday found that the drug helped patients recover more quickly.
The team said it would continue testing the candidates they have identified and use the same methods to further study the biology of the disease for more insights.

As the producer responsible for some of Lil B and Soulja Boy's weirdest, most inventive beats, and following on from a critically-acclaimed, self-released mixtape of instrumentals collected from his work over the years with various forward-thinking hip-hop artists, Tri Angle is very excited to announce the release of Rainforest, the debut EP by Clams Casino. The five songs that make up Rainforest find Clams Casino (aka 23 year-old New Jersey native, Michael Volpe) refining his ethereal, otherworldly sound, while taking it to a heavier and more intense extreme. What has set Clams Casino apart from most other hip-hop producers is his skill in making records that sound just as good, if not better, instrumentally as they do with vocals, and if anyone needed it, Rainforest represents the confirmation of this. It's a record drenched in mysterious atmospherics, like a foggy memory of a far-off exotic place, the details buried beneath the mist of distortion, but present nonetheless. None of the songs on Rainforest have ever been released before, and in contrast to most of his other productions, these songs have always existed purely as instrumentals, free of any vocal presence. Rainforest is an incredibly powerful release which signals the beginning of Clams Casino coming into his own and operating as an important artist in his own right.

NEW YORK, NY – A New York City police officer was stabbed and killed in her own home by her estranged husband, the Bronx District Attorney’s Office said today.
According to District Attorney Darcel D. Clark, Argenis Baez, 33, has been indicted for second-degree Murder and additional charges for stabbing his estranged wife, a New York City Police Officer, in her home.
According to investigators with the New York City Police Department, at approximately 2:06 a.m. on June 13, the defendant allegedly went to the apartment of Arianna Reyes, 31, his estranged wife and the other of his child, and confronted her.
“Baez allegedly struggled with Reyes and made his way into her home,” police reported. “The defendant allegedly stabbed Reyes eight times in the chest, leg, back, and torso with a knife. Baez fled the scene, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The defendant turned himself into authorities and was arrested later that day. The child was not in the apartment when Baez allegedly killed Reyes.”

MOLINE, Ill. — The United States is two months into hurricane season, and, so far, there have only been three named storms. The last one that made landfall was Tropical Storm Colin, which hit the Carolinas with heavy rainfall in early July. If another tropical storm doesn't form by August 3rd, it will be the fifth time in three decades that we have not any tropical storms during that time.
Although it's a slow start, that doesn't mean it will be a below-average hurricane season. With hurricane season lasting through October, the Hurricane Prediction Center (HPC) is predicting that this year will carry on with an above-average hurricane season.
Hurricane expert Michael Ventrice told Forbes in early July that the suppressed phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a major fluctuation in tropical weather areas, will be propagating over Africa and the Indian Ocean over the next few weeks, which will quiet down the Atlantic basin. He then stated that the active phase of the MJO could push back over the Atlantic and Indian oceans during the first half of August, which could lead to a burst of Atlantic hurricanes in the second or third week of August.
The MJO is an eastward moving disturbance of clouds, rainfall, winds, and pressure that traverse the planet in the tropics.
Another reason why the season is starting so slow would be dry air in the middle regions of the atmosphere. The driest air is associated with African dust from the Sahel region, which often drifts over the Atlantic basin during this time of year, which is known as the Sharan Air Layer (SAL). The SAL is not only dry, but it also has a high wind shear that prevents hurricanes from forming.
Once the MJO pattern changes and the SAL wanes, that's when we're likely to see an uptick in hurricanes.

Behind the mask: Heroes and villains go mano a mano in Kitsap County
Ron Sutherland, co-owner of Suquamish Championship Wrestling, always enters the ring a wanted man. He’s known as El Gringo Loco, and he doesn’t wear a lucha libre mask. That’s because he wants fans to despise him.
"I don’t wear one, I want the enemy to know who I am,” said Sutherland, who briefly ended his wrestling hiatus last week for a Cinco de Mayo match at La Poblanita in Bremerton. “When I wrestled, I was hated, and I loved it.” In the world of lucha libre — literally “free fighting” in Spanish — masks are more than just costumes.
“The mask is crucial to everything,” Sutherland said.
Sutherland spent 10 years wrestling in Mexico, nearly dying once when a deranged fan stabbed him in the head with a knife. Last week, he also brought the highly acrobatic spectacle to Suquamish.
Often the costume of a wrestler lacks a shirt, and features skin tight pants. But the practitioners feel naked without their masks.
For example, El Vagabundo: After he was hit with a chair, thrown through a door and driven hard into the mat, El Vagabundo spent an hour in the locker room, the store’s meat locker, cleaning up his own blood with his mask still on. He won’t take it off, not even to greet friends.
The Mexican-born luchador lost the main event to rival, and friend, Juvi 775, also from Mexico.
One left the ring with his arm raised high in the air in victory, while the other limped away. Both kept their masks on. For them, nothing is more important than the colorful mask that conceals their identities.
The mask is more than a piece of cloth that ties an outfit together. A luchador’s mask, normally homemade, is a symbol of a wrestler’s achievements in and out of the ring, a tribute to wrestlers who came before them, continuing a tradition from their homeland. Their faces remain hidden, knowing that their act is ruined if the mask is ever ripped away.
“It’s a part of my life, it’s everything to me,” El Vagabundo said of his mask.
'This is a way of life'
When El Vagabundo was 6 years old, growing up in Mexico City, he attended lucha libre fights with his older brother. He told his brother that he would wrestle someday, and at 16, he started training.
Now, at 37, the 14-year veteran was matched up against fellow Mexican luchadores and American wrestlers at the Cinco de Mayo bouts.
“It’s part of our culture, a tradition for Mexican wrestlers, and it represents the man behind the mask,” he said.
El Vagabundo lost in the hardcore match finale, and amidst the shattered glass from broken light tubes that were smashed over his stomach, he walked away from the ring, hunched over and holding his mask in agony.
“This is not easy,” said El Vagabundo after the match, wearing only his blood-stained mask and pants. “This is not a game. This is not a job. This is a way of life.”
His homemade mask was partly ripped by Juvi 775 in the match, but El Vagabundo managed to keep it on. Both wrestlers decided not to take off each other’s masks out of respect. For luchadores, it’s an affront to enter the ring without the customary disguise. Removing another wrestler’s mask during a match is subject to disqualification.
The mask represents family, heritage and a great sense of pride, said Juvi 775. In addition, the masks hide expressions of pain, and the faces of men who wrestle in secrecy.
Despite wrestling for more than a decade, El Vagabundo’s family didn’t find out about his career choice until two years ago.
But El Vagabundo’s mother still doesn’t know her son spends his days flying off the top rope, getting pelted in the face with chairs, or pins down fellow luchadores who have secret identities of their own.
“My family doesn’t want to see me get hurt,” he said. “I wear the mask as a tradition, but I also don’t want people to know who I am out there.”
El Vagabundo, literally “vagrant,” has a sewing machine at his home where he makes his own masks.
Every day for the last three years, El Vagabundo finds time to build new designs that include a variety of shapes and colors. He prides himself on also stitching together his pants, tights and shirts. He’s currently working on a new mask design for his next match.
The Mexican grappler currently has 20 masks in his closet, and he picks a different one for every lucha fight. The masks are made out of a special type of fabric, something resembling the same material used for swimsuits and dancer costumes, he said.
El Vagabundo is constantly improving the intricacies of his luchador masks by stitching with newer fabrics and adding double layers so he doesn’t sweat as much.
Feeling the heat under the mask poses a problem for luchadors, but like most, El Vagabundo adapts by piecing together his own modifications, ignoring any distractions.
“It’s always going to get hot and sweaty under there, but it doesn’t bother me,” he said. “I just build my own mask to fit me and I go from there.”
'I don't ever take it off'
Juvi 775’s disguise resembles an Aztec mask, designed to look like a demon in the ring, he said. The 11-year veteran dons a bright, shiny silver mask that opponents will recognize instantly. He also builds his own outfits with the help of friends.
“You remember the mask when I put it on,” he added. “You know it’s me out there.”
Juvi 775, who earned his name by combining a nickname and the area code of his hometown, Tulancingo, Mexico, is a friend of El Vagabundo.
Both men are originally from Mexico, but since moved to Tacoma to compete professionally. They became buddies three years ago when their wrestling careers crossed paths.
El Vagabundo likes to add variety to his wrestling attire, while Juvi 775 limits himself to four masks, staying consistent with the Aztec demon-looking character.
The shapes and colors of their self-made suits, and identities, contrast, but there is one thing they have in common.
They will never wrestle without their masks.
“Nope, not ever,” said El Vagabundo when asked if he will ever consider leaving the mask behind. “It’s like taking off one of my arms. It’s part of my body and who I am.”
Juvi 775 echoed his friend’s principles as a luchador.
“I don’t ever take it off,” he said. “I don’t want to ever lose it.”
Angel Azul dons a blue mask to represent the name that translates to “Blue Angel.”
He started wrestling in lucha libre six years ago in Auburn, and now competes in Tacoma with Juvi 775 and El Vagabundo.
Angel Azul has never fought without the mask, nor does he intend to ditch the Mexican tradition.
When he wrestled in Auburn, Angel Azul trained with Astro Imperial, a luchador who mentored the young athlete in lucha libre-style bouts. After Astro Imperial retired, Angel Azul continued with his own career, mimicking his teacher’s moves, and honoring him with the mask.
“It’s my way of keeping him around, and paying tribute to him,” Angel Azul said. “It’s my nod to a great mentor.”
Angel Azul also stressed that a luchador’s mask is directly connected to his or her persona in the ring.
“It’s everything to us,” he added. “It’s who you are. It’s your signature, all defined by that mask.”
When the luchadores put on their masks, they’re representing alter-egos aimed at intimidating opponents, and entertaining the crowd. Depending on the character, luchadores are portrayed as allies or enemies, and fans play along.
Anthony Abastilla, 31, of Bremerton, attended the lucha libre matches last week because he is a longtime fan of the sport. Hulk Hogan and The Rock are among his favorites.
“It’s one of my childhood things,” he said. “I can’t resist it, this is my town here. It’s a good way to get the community together.”
“I’m a broke college student, so I appreciate the free event. I hope there will be more events like this,” he added.

US faces food shortage despite steady production as coronavirus disrupts distribution system
Many farmers are being forced to dump their produce even as store shelves go dry in parts of the country
With the US witnessing a major shutdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, concerns are high over the availability of food items.
Top government officials have assured people in recent times that there will not be a lack of food. Vice President Mike Pence, who is in charge of the government’s coronavirus task force, on Wednesday, April 1, announced that the country’s food supply is strong while touring a Walmart distribution center.
Frank Yiannas, deputy commissioner for food, the Food and Drug Administration, and also a former Walmart executive, told the media over a video talk that there is no nationwide shortfall of food despite reports of local shortages. He ruled out the necessity to hoard food items.
However, according to one report in the National Public Radio (NPR), the problem lies somewhere else. There is a mismatch between the people and the distribution of food. While there is a rise in the number of people who cannot afford groceries, food is available more than required at some places.
It said dairy farmers in states like Wisconsin, Georgia and Minnesota were dumping gallons of milk because it will not be bought. In Florida, vegetable farmers were abandoning harvest-ready products like tomatoes and cucumbers because of lack of buyers.
Kim Jamerson, a vegetable grower near Fort Myers, said they could not pick the produce if it could not be sold.
“We'll have to tear ’em up,” Jamerson was quoted as saying by NPR. “Just tear up beautiful vegetables that really could go elsewhere, to food banks, and hospitals, and rest homes,” she regretted.
It is not that the food-distribution system in the US is faulty. It is known for efficiently delivering food to customers. But with restaurants and workplace kitchen and cafeterias shutting down, the predictability factor that keeps it functioning, has gone and the system has suffered as a result.
Those who coordinate the match between the demand and supply, are struggling because of the big fall in the demand. Jay Johnson of JGL Produce, a vegetable broker in Florida, said: “You're getting phone calls, text messages, emails, all day and all night. ‘What's your price on this? What grade? Can you do a better deal?’ You're doing all these micronegotiations throughout the day.”
It has not been the same since the fourth week of March. “Everything got quiet. Wednesday, the 25th, superquiet. Thursday, now we're getting nervous,” he said.
In the milk industry, too, same thing has happened. The sales have gone up in supermarkets but they are not enough to make up for the fall in the demand caused by the shutting down of schools and cheese-buying manufacturers. The factories have stopped buying milk and the farmers are being told to waste the liquid.
While food is being wasted, there is also shortage of eatables
The other side of the spectrum sees food banks having trouble to provide enough supply to the needy, including millions of children and those who have lost their jobs. Feeding America is a network of food banks and charitable programs and it receives large donations of unsold food from the retail stores and because of the disruption in food supply, that donation has dried up considerably, said the network’s CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot.
While the food banks are trying to claim more of the food that is left stranded in the food service supply chain, may be through donations or purchase, Jamerson said it is a shame that there is adequate food but yet the people are not having enough on their plates.
A problem lies with hiring labor to move the product from one place to another for not many can afford to pay the workers to pick the agricultural produce to donate. They want the government to take up the responsibility to ensure that the gap between the demand and supply is bridged.
Some brokers still feel optimistic over the fact that the food banks in states like Florida have started buying some of their vegetables and finding innovative ways to distribute them, the NPR report added.

"In testing, R2X demonstrated superior carpet stain resistance on two levels. First, it provides better initial protection. Second, it allows more time to react to a problem. Another significant benefit of R2X is its effectiveness with polyester and polypropylene fibers. Most polyester and polypropylene carpets have an inherent tendency to attract soil. Topical soil carpet treatments are only "skin deep," and the limited protection they offer wears away after cleaning or normal wear and tear. In contrast, R2X continues to perform well even after repeated cleanings. The performance of nylon, polyester, and polypropylene treated with ordinary systems begins to diminish. And of course, Shaw's warranty protection ensures customer satisfaction, time after time."

It great game with great concept but controls just are not there. My phone is absolutely still yet my plane drifts. I breath on my phone and my plane moves some where even with sensitivity turned all the way down. Challenging is one thing but impossible is another
Too much computer help. I expected more of a sim. Also, I prefer games you just buy, rather than games that pretend to be free, and then start charging you for this, that and the other. As a big fan of carrier landings, I don't like this at all. Played for 10 minutes and uninstalling...
But i would fix the tails on the hornets. And as expected very challenging but fun game i cant wait for any updates that comes with this game. I will getting the package dale were i can play all the levels and and hopefully Miramar will be added to this game..would like to see the numbers on the tails and waiting on an update to see what other show sites come up on the game 😎
Still learning to fly with the phone, it's different. You would think an APP approved by the Blue Angels would have an accurate schedule for them. They are performing here in Huntington Beach this Oct1st weekend NOT DURANGO CO
This game is horrible, bad quality, controlled way to glitchy. And the worst part you have to pay for the rest of the game you get to play like 5 missions and you have to pay like $10 for the other 20, over all this game just sucks.
They hit it right out of the ball park with this one, a flight simulator type game where's you can fly in a formation !...,.well, I might be wrong but I don't know of any other app that you can do that type of flying in....that's why I gave it five stars this is indeed one of the greatest flying games out today...I just wish you could've change the aircraft to the USAF THUNDERBIRDS. Who knows maybe in the near future this may become a reality..

WHAT IS IT? Weed seeds = Elevator Screenings are what is left when grain is run through a seed cleaner. Clean grain goes into a bin and residues = screenings are disposed. Most grain elevators give weed seeds away free to any farmer willing to haul them. Some elevators charge nominal sums for screenings because they can be fed to animals. For example, 10% to 15% weed seeds can be mixed into chicken feed.
HOW TO MAKE WEED SEED MEAL: Seeds of most plants make good fertilizer. The trick is to mill = grind seeds into a coarse meal or flour so they do not sprout. Most farmers use roller mills, hammer mills, or gristmills to grind weed seeds. If milling equipment is not available weed seeds can be baked in shallow (2 inch ~ 5 centimeter deep) pans at 350 degrees Fahrenheit ~ 176 degrees Centigrade for 1 hour to kill seeds. Baked weed seeds make very slow release organic fertilizer ideal for plants (like roses) sensitive to excess nitrogen.
If weed seeds are not available, substitute any type of waste or spoiled grain, for example, wet or dry brewer’s grains. There is no standard analysis for weed seed meal; nutrient content varies depending on species and proportion which change by locality and season. It is good practice to test weed seed samples yearly so fertilizer application rates can be adjusted as needed.
Below are some average nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K) values for rough calculations. Note: lb = pound. 1 pound = 0.454 kilogram. 1 American ton = 2,000 pounds = 908 kilograms = 0.908 metric ton. 1 metric ton = 1 megagram = 1,000,000 grams = 1,000 kilograms = 2,200 pounds = 1.1 American tons.

For comparison, fresh dairy cow manure (86% water) contains 0.60% Nitrogen : 0.15% Phosphorous : 0.45% Potassium = 12 lb N + 3 lb P + 9 lb K per ton. Cow manure is the traditional standard against which all other organic fertilizers are measured.
For slow release fertilizer mill weed seeds into coarse flakes or meal. Grind weed seeds into powder for fast acting fertilizer.
WEED SEED MEAL APPLICATION RATES: Calculate application rates according to soil test recommendation for desired crop. Minimum application rate is 1 ton = 2,000 pounds per acre ~ 5 pounds or 1 gallon per 100 square feet ~ 2 Tablespoons or 2/3 ounce per square foot. Apply 1 pound of weed seed meal for every 25 feet of row or trench. Mix 1/2 to 1 cup of weed seed meal in each bushel (8 gallons) of potting soil.
Average density of weed seed meal = 0.3125 to 0.40 ounce per Tablespoon ~ 5 to 6.5 ounces per cup ~ 20 to 25.6 ounces per quart ~ 80 to 102.4 ounces per gallon ~ 5 pounds to 6 pounds 6.4 ounces per gallon ~ 40 to 51 pounds per bushel (8 gallons). 1 ton = 2,000 pounds weed seed meal = 40 to 50 bushels.
For example: 200 bushel per acre corn crop requires 200 pounds of nitrogen per acre. 200 pounds N divided by 54 pounds of nitrogen per ton of weed seed meal = 3.70 ~ 4 tons of weed seed meal needed per acre of corn. Weed seed meal can be tilled into the earth by conventional plowing, broadcast on soil surface, side banded down rows, or drilled into furrows or trenches.
For feeding earthworms broadcast weed seed meal (1 ton per acre or 2 Tablespoons per square foot) on soil surface. Reapply throughout the growing season when meal is no longer visible.
–> Weed seed meal is a natural = biological = organic fertilizer that requires decomposition before nutrients are available to plants. Bacteria, fungi and many other soil organisms eat weed seed meal then excrete nutrients in plant available forms. As soil organisms live and die, nutrients are constantly recycled = most fertilizer is tied up in the bodies of soil “critters” and is only available to plant roots in small amounts over extended time periods. Thus, weed seed meal is a slow release fertilizer that will not burn plant roots or leach from the soil.
–> Cold, wet soils delay weed seed meal decomposition. Warm, moist soils speed fertilizer availability. Early season crops may show signs of nitrogen deficiency (light green leaves) if soils are especially cold or poorly aerated = oxygen deficient. This is a temporary condition that will ordinarily correct itself in 2 or 3 weeks. Every 5 degree Fahrenheit temperature increase doubles microbial activity. As soils warm, nutrient cycling speeds up and more fertilizer is released for absorption by plant roots.
–> If crops must be seeded in cold soils, apply weed seed meal 2 to 3 weeks before planting so soil organisms have more time to decompose fertilizer and make nutrients available to plants.
–> Weed seed meal is an indirect fertilizer — it feeds soil organisms rather than plant roots. Large amounts of weed seed meal can be applied without crop damage or nutrient loss because the fertilizer is held by soil biology rather than soil chemistry. Thus, nutrients can be banked = stored for use by following crops. Weed seed meal has a “half-life” of several years. Nutrients are continually released in small amounts long after fertilizer is applied.
–> Weed seed meal works best on soils managed biologically. Chemically managed soils typically have smaller populations of soil organisms. Fewer “critters” slows nutrient cycling and restricts fertilizer absorption by plant roots.
–> To use LIVE weed seeds as fertilizer broadcast seeds into a standing cover crop like Red Clover (Trifolium pratense). Earthworms, ants, beetles and other critters eat the weed seeds. Clover kills any weeds that germinate. Caution: Do not try this unless you have a tall, aggressive cover crop that blankets the soil with dense shade.

Drug helps clear lung mucus in cystic fibrosis patients
Published: 18th Dec 2010 00:03:52
The build up of sticky mucus in the lungs of some cystic fibrosis patients could be prevented using medication, a study has suggested.
The US study of 350 children and young people found denufosol helped keep airways moist and so clear the mucus.
The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine study said those given the drug and not a placebo for six months fared better in lung tests.
The UK's Cystic Fibrosis Trust said the results were "promising".
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) affects over 8,500 people in the UK.
The condition affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, by clogging them with thick sticky mucus which makes it hard to breathe and digest food.
Patients are believed to be born with normal lung function, but significant damage is seen early on in life.
In this research, which was funded by Inspire Pharmaceuticals which makes the medication, patients either inhaled denufosol or a dummy version three times a day for 24 weeks, followed by a 24-week period when all received denufosol.
When the study began, virtually all the patients had mildly impaired lung function and were taking drugs to regulate their symptoms.
Studies to date have shown promising results.”
Denufosol belongs to a class of drugs known as ion channel regulators which help keep the airways moist and aids mucus clearance.
In CF, ion sodium chloride molecules do not flow normally through cell membranes, resulting in thick, sticky mucus which is difficult to cough up.
In addition to causing breathing problems, the mucus is a breeding ground for bacteria and can cause serious respiratory infections.
Currently, breathing exercises or pressure are used to stop the mucus blocking the airways.
The researchers suggest denufosol could help patients whose lung function is still good, or is only mildly impaired.
They say the difference between it and existing drugs is that it targets a cause, rather than symptoms.
Dr Frank Accurso, the director of University of Colorado's CF centre who led the research, said: "Many patients continue to suffer progressive loss of lung function despite treatment of complications.
"Because denufosol can be used early in life, it offers hope for delaying or preventing the progressive changes that lead to irreversible airflow obstruction in CF patients."
A spokeswoman for the UK's Cystic Fibrosis Trust said: "Denufosol is a new type of drug that could delay or prevent lung disease progression in children, teenagers and young adults with CF.
"We have been following the research closely and studies to date have shown promising results in people with CF who have a good lung function.
"Patients could benefit from this new drug in three to four years."

Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden will be out of action for six to nine months following a knee operation.
With the doors to its brand new £1million training centre officially open, one of the UK's leading apprentice training providers, Bristol based S&B Automotive Academy, is showcasing its world-class facilities by launching a series of foreign student exchanges for the first time in its 41-year history. To get a flavour of what life is like as an apprentice in the UK, the Academy hosted 16 apprentice engineers and bus drivers from the G9 Automotive College in Hamburg, Germany, as part of a Europe-wide vocational training initiative called the ‘Leonardo Programme’ with support from the European Social Fund. In a reciprocal arrangement, S&B will be sending nine apprentices to Germany during February 2012 so that they can get an appreciation of life in the automotive industry on the Continent. A further three German exchange groups are being planned for next year. Designed to assist the development of vocational skills and training across Europe, including work placements for trainees, the Leonardo Programme has a budget of €1.75bn, which is helping to encourage UK organisations to work with their counterparts abroad. In what is expected to be another challenging year for employers in the UK automotive sector, S&B’s Chief Executive, Jon Winter, claims that the exchange initiative will bring many benefits to the Academy and its apprentices: “In a world of global automotive brands, it’s important for our learners to understand the international context of the industry they have chosen to make their career. This new exchange programme will enable apprentices and Academy staff alike to achieve a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the automotive arena in Europe. With the Academy’s influence also extending to the USA and Asia, there’s every possibility that this initiative could move further afield in the future.” Continued Winter: “The need for skilled technicians across the world is on the increase and we actively encourage our apprentices to look at broader horizons during their training. Many of them have already learned the phrase ‘Vorsprung durch Gelehrtheit’, quite simply, ‘Advancement through learning.” In the 2010/11 academic year, S&B doubled the number of successful Apprenticeships over the previous year with some 350 apprentices graduating from the Academy. At the same time, achievement levels reached an all-time high with an overall success rate of 85%. For those learners on the Advanced Apprenticeship three-year programme, success rates were even higher, at over 98%. PHOTO CAPTION: As part of their exchange visit, S&B Automotive Academy arranged for the German apprentices to visit Hampshire bus operator, Bluestar, at its Barton Park depot.

Tony Black on the saga of the Freddie Mercury biopic and the war of words between Sacha Baron Cohen and Brian May…
The biopic of Freddie Mercury, the legendary Queen front man who died of AIDS in 1991, is shaping up to be one of the greatest lost film projects of the modern age. Surely a slam dunk of a success waiting to happen, with it’s tale of glam rock excess, forbidden sexuality, celebrity stardom and the ravages of a well-publicised disease, the film has Oscar written all over it for almost certainly the man playing Mercury, at the very least. Yet the movie remains elusive, and battle lines between Queen and the man everyone thought would be Freddie grew wider this week as Brian May launched a scathing rebuke to Sacha Baron Cohen’s recent assertions he left the project because Queen wanted to secure their legacy.
Baron Cohen, to many almost too perfect a casting choice, left the project in July 2013 after years of lying in wait. This March he gave a candid interview to US shock jock Howard Stern where he accused someone in the band—he wouldn’t say who—of wanting to protect the band’s legacy rather than deliver a ‘warts’n’all’ portrayal of Freddie’s life. That certain someone could be Queen guitarist May, who in an interview with the Daily Mail hit back by calling the comedy star an “arse” who went off and told “untruths” about what happened in their long-time creative process trying to get the film off the ground. “Why would he go away and say that we didn’t want to make a gritty film?” asked May. “Are we the kind of people who have ever ducked from the truth? I don’t think so.”
So what really happened? And why does the life and times of Freddie Mercury remain a bizarrely elusive cinematic experience?
The project first started gaining traction in Hollywood in 2010 when Baron Cohen became attached, the story reputedly set to trace the years leading up to Queen’s appearance at the Live Aid concert in 1985. “Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer,” co-producer Graham King said in a statement. “So with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter (Morgan)’s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect opportunity to tell the real story behind their success.” By all accounts, Baron Cohen wanted to make a project about the amazing stories about Freddie Mercury and his life. “The guy was wild,” he told Stern. “There are stories of little people walking around parties with plates of cocaine on their heads!”. It appears he wanted to depict the drug-fuelled, hedonistic side of Mercury’s life before building toward the singer’s tragic death. Under the stewardship of Sony & King’s GK Films and Robert de Niro on producing duties, it looked in secure hands with Baron Cohen bringing in esteemed writer Peter Morgan to develop the script, and courting directors such as Stephen Frears, David Fincher and The Danish Girl’s Tom Hooper to helm.
His departure from the project raised eyebrows, with the usual ‘creative differences’ cited, and a few months later in September 2013 Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor suggested the Ali G actor was pushed rather than walked because they wanted people to be “moved” by the film. As he told NME. “We felt Sacha wasn’t right in the end. We didn’t want it to be a joke.” Did they consider Baron Cohen’s suggestion about cocaine-shovelling midgets indicative that he was intending to make the kind of edgy, controversy-baiting pastiche he’s known for with Borat or The Dictator? That seems at odds with bringing in talent like Morgan, known more for projects like The Queen than boorish comedy, or serious helmsmen such as Fincher or Hooper. May followed up from Taylor by telling the Daily Mirror that Baron Cohen was too famous to play the flamboyant singer. “He’s very much a style and a character. I think that he would have been very distracting.”
Peter Morgan, who left the project alongside Baron Cohen, himself told the BBC that the entire film was “probably not going to happen” now Baron Cohen had departed, losing it’s bankable star over the difference in tone both sides wanted. But what *was* that tone? Edgy, gritty and powerful? Or a family friendly stroll through the highs and lows of Queen?
Subsequently the casting rumours went into overdrive. Daniel Radcliffe quickly shot down suggestions he was taking on the role, while Dominic Cooper was reputedly circling the role. For some time, following his success in the 007 franchise and TV shows such as London Spy, Ben Whishaw appears to have been both the odds on favourite and courted by Queen themselves as their ideal choice, described by May as “fabulous, a real actor,” while The Theory of Everything writer Anthony McCarten has been drafted in to re-tool the script off the back of his Oscar nomination for the Stephen Hawking biopic. The title, reputedly, will be ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. No deal exists however according to Deadline with Whishaw as yet, and no director is officially attached. Dexter Fletcher signed to direct at one point, but left citing those old ‘creative differences’ with King in 2014, and may indeed end up having the last laugh given his recent success with his Eddie the Eagle biopic.
The big question is: who do we believe here? Who is accurate in the grand scheme of why Sacha Baron Cohen won’t seemingly portray a man many would have considered him born to play. Did Baron Cohen leave, as he attests, because Queen wanted a film that incorporated Freddie’s death as part of a legacy portrayal of their rock greatness? Or, as Brian May states, the band decided Baron Cohen wasn’t right for the role “for very good reasons, which will become apparent if you watch what he’s done recently.” Ouch.
Either way, if the project ever does emerge fully from Development Hell, we may always be left wondering quite what Sacha Baron Cohen may have done with a rare, serious, dramatic and unforgettable role. Ironically, the fact he never got to play Freddie Mercury could be what most people remember about the entire thing. Time, it appears, will tell…

In July 2011, 70 pilot whales were spotted in the shallow Kyle of Durness on the north coast of Scotland; as the tide went out, at least 39 were stranded. Quick efforts by locals and live-stranding groups managed to refloat 20 animals, but 19 perished. This month, a report commissioned by the UK’s governing agency, DEFRA, concluded that a series of bomb-disposal explosions were the most likely cause of the stranding. It’s a good reminder that much of the potential impact on wildlife from Navy exercises is from traditional ordinance, rather than sonar.
While pilot whales are relatively common around Scotland, and there have been numerous strandings through the years, it’s unusual that they would venture into such a shallow, tidal bay. It seems likely that the pod was in the area relatively near shore (either following food, or transiting between feeding locations) when several bombs were exploded on the day before the stranding (yellow pointer on image). Navigational error (perhaps caused by hearing impairment) left them in the mouth of the bay (red pointer), 3-5 miles away, rather than offshore; the strandings had just begun when the final bomb was exploded the next day, which likely drove more animals into the shallows.
The report suggests that some whales may well have been close enough to suffer temporary or permanent hearing damage. In the most damning finding, it appears clear that monitoring for nearby animals was cursory at best, done only from small inflatable boats:
Given the precise nature of the sound profile and resultant acoustic trauma is a complex function of environmental and bathymetric factors, it is difficult to precisely establish the radius for these (hearing-impairment) effects. Based on other studies it is likely that this radius is greater than the maximum distance it was possible for observers on the NDG vessel to see from a rigid inflatable boat based observation platform less than 2 m above sea level. The only surveillance for cetaceans in the vicinity of Garvie Island prior to detonation of the underwater munitions was from this single platform by personnel not familiar with observing marine mammals. It would not have been possible therefore to effectively assess if animals were within the envelope where acoustic damage was likely.
Further, explosions are not the only option available for safely deactivating ordinance left behind by training missions; an alternative method that burns them instead is widely used around the world. “Given the potential damage to marine life from the high-order explosions of conventional disposal techniques, it is questionable why this method has not been used routinely in the past,” the report says.
Sarah Dolman of Whale and Dolphin Conservation, said: “Why has it taken four years to publish the report and what measures have the Ministry of Defence (MoD) put in place to evaluate and minimise the impacts of detonations around Garvie Island, to ensure that it adequately protects whales and dolphins since then?”
Rob Gibson, local representative to the Scottish Parliament, agreed: “The fact that it took four years for this report to be published and for the UK government to accept that they are to blame is ridiculous. The efforts of the local people in the Kyle of Durness to save the beached whales were incredible – but sadly the animals could not be saved and many died. Scotland’s seas are blessed with many marine mammals, including more than 20 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises. It is our responsibility, where possible, to do all we can to protect these wonderful and popular species.”
For their part, the Royal Navy offered a largely unsatisfying response: “The recommendations will be considered by the MoD and implemented where appropriate.” The Navy stressed that they’ve been exploding bombs for decades without signs of strandings, and that since the 2011 event, they have added unspecified new mitigation practices.
Below are two more images from the report; the first of refloating efforts underway, and the second indicating the areas in the kyle where strandings occurred.


They worshipped in many different styles, but their intent was the same - praising God.
Barnwell First Baptist Church hosted the inaugural Praise and Worship Music Festival Saturday, August 16. Around 200 people listened to 11 groups from 10 churches, ranging from contemporary songs to 1800s hymns to youth playing classic hymns on the violins.
"It was a good day to praise the Lord. We're all individuals and worship in different ways. It takes you out of your shell," said Dave Sexton, one of the organizers of the festival.
"I was so excited about all the great musical talent in this area. The variety of the music was fabulous," said Darla Buwalda, whose children performed with the Healing Springs Praise Band.
"Worship is an everyday part of our lives", said Ron Franklin, pastor of Mt. Lebanon Christian Church. He performed with his church's praise team.
"I enjoyed everything and learned some new things," said Ella Dorch of the different styles of music. "I wish I could have brought more people with me."
Sexton hopes to make the festival an annual event at the church. He said several people expressed an interest in having a spring festival at another church. "We need to come together more as a body of Christ," said Sexton, instead of doing things as individual churches.

One of only 16 recipients statewide, Goodrich and her peers were honored for going above and beyond during the aftermath of storms that affected New York state, including Irene and Sandy. These New Yorkers “demonstrated extraordinary heroism and courage during Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee, Superstorm Sandy, (and) the flooding this past summer in the Mohawk Valley and other parts of Upstate New York,” according to a release from the Governor’s office.
Goodrich was also appointed by the governor to the Schoharie Valley’s NY Rising committee. Under the NY Rising Community Reconstruction program, flood-torn regions compete for grant money to help with rebuilding, and to protect against future floods or other catastrophes.
The unprecedented 500-year flood unleashed by Irene’s record rainfall damaged some 2,000 properties in the picturesque Schoharie Valley two years ago. Goodrich helped establish SALT – a nonprofit coalition and coordinating council which provides interfaith and interagency resources, advocacy, support and direct recovery assistance – in the storm’s aftermath.
With help from about 150,000 hours of free labor from 30,000 volunteers, SALT has worked on more than 600 damaged properties with gutting, rebuilding, and payments to owners. Still, owners of hundreds of properties remain in need of assistance, and some of those involve major reconstruction.
“I am honored, but I feel that this award belongs to many people who displayed great courage, resourcefulness and self-sacrifice over the past two years,” said Goodrich. “Our past and present board members, staff, long-time volunteers, and the thousands and thousands of other volunteers all deserve recognition as well for their commitment to our recovery efforts.”

Reading this article, it is obvious that all the Brexit options are very high risk. The safe (low risk) option is to REMAIN in the EU.
Surely, the people of Britain are risk averse and do not want to really gamble everything on this referendum?
