How to Grow Broccoli in Your Own Garden?
You may find interest in how to grow broccoli sprouts in soil. In contrast to its other cabbage relatives, broccoli makes higher demands on the soil. It is a heavy grower and requires nutrient-rich, humus-rich, and well-drained soil. It is best to use nutrient-rich and fertilized soil. Alternatively, garden soil is enriched with plenty of compost before planting. A sunny location is preferred.
Tips: To thrive, broccoli needs adequate water during the dry summer months. A layer of mulch helps keep moisture in the soil longer.
There are early-maturing varieties and later ones that are not harvested until fall. Depending on the variety and desired harvest time, seeds can be sown between March and June. If you sow broccoli over several weeks, you can enjoy fresh and tasty broccoli from your garden almost all summer and fall. The seeds should be covered with about 2 cm of soil. After the broccoli plants are about 10 to 15 cm tall, they can be pricked out and planted 30 to 60 cm apart. Close planting with a distance of about 30 cm is suitable only for compact varieties such as Kabuki or Cezar, which can also be grown on the balcony or terrace.
If the broccoli has been planted in nutrient-rich soil, it needs to be supplied with a primarily organic fertilizer with nitrogen and potassium content only after about three months. However, you should stop fertilizing a few weeks before the first harvest. This will make the broccoli particularly aromatic.
Do you want to know the best varieties of broccoli to plant? When buying broccoli seeds for sprouting, you should pay attention to their respective characteristics. There are earlier and later varieties. In addition, there are so-called sprouting varieties that overwinter outdoors. These form many smaller flowers in early spring: a wonderful spring vegetable! You can find a comprehensive overview of varieties here: choose the right variety to grow.
- Calabrese: Old and very famous variety from Italy; large and quite a few small flowers; variety tends to have many side shoots and gives a constant and good yield.
- Calinaro: More compact variety with large heads and a very good taste; popular in hobby cultivation and smaller, direct-marketing farms.
- Cezar: Compact variety that stands out for its blue-greenish color; the main shoot forms relatively large heads.
- Kabuki (F1): Small and very early variety, suitable even for the balcony; forms many smaller heads on the side shoots.
- Parthenon (F1): Vigorous and rich-bearing variety that produces good yields even in cooler climates; compact and densely packed heads; popular in commercial cultivation.
- Rosalind: Old fancier variety with red-purple heads; variety branches vigorously, giving a good crop again and again for weeks.
- Summer Purple: A quite undemanding variety of sprouting broccoli, which even beginners can grow successfully; variety branches strongly; purple heads.
Harvesting Broccoli: Control Inflorescences and Harvest in Time
It is also important to know how to harvest broccoli when you are here for how to grow broccoli sprouts. After the first harvest, broccoli forms new shoots on the side shoots, which can also be harvested a few weeks later. You should always cut off the stem as well when harvesting, as this encourages side shoot formation. The inflorescences should be harvested just before the buds break open. During the hot summer months, broccoli grows very quickly, so the plants should be checked and harvested regularly.
If you grow broccoli yourself, you can ensure that no chemical sprays are used. Young plant parts can also be harvested and prepared in addition to broccoli heads. Don’t you think so? It’s definitely worth a try. Young stems can be peeled and then boiled or blanched in water, just as you would with asparagus. The taste and texture are actually reminiscent of green asparagus with a cabbage-like aroma. If one is already experimenting, the young leaves should also be tried. These can be prepared like spinach. Alternatively, fry the leaves briefly in a little olive oil or butter. In terms of taste, the leaves are tender and aromatic.
The closed inflorescences can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. However, if you want to benefit from the many vitamins, broccoli should be consumed as soon as possible after harvest. If you have harvested more than you can use, it is a good idea to cut the broccoli into small pieces and then freeze them.
Diseases and Pests of Broccoli
Young plants often suffer from leaf feeding by slugs. Earth fleas can also harm the leaves. In addition, there are common diseases and pests from which almost all types of cabbage suffer. These include the cabbage fly, the cabbage white butterfly, and the notorious cabbage hernia.

In general, as with all cabbages, no cabbage should be grown in the same location for at least three to four years. If one wants to be especially safe, after harvesting, the remaining plant parts can be pulled out of the soil and then disposed of in the residual waste. The soil can then be limed.
Final Thoughts: How to Grow Broccoli?
The use of broccoli is vast. Broccoli is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and C and minerals, especially potassium, iron, zinc, and calcium. The low caloric value of about 30 kcal per 100g makes it interesting also for diets. Broccoli can be prepared in many ways, but the gentlest is steaming, which preserves most of the vitamins and minerals. Broccoli cooked in water usually releases many important substances to the water and thus loses nutritional value.
Besides, you know how to grow broccoli sprouts; you should learn something first. That is, to preserve as many vitamins and minerals as possible, broccoli should only be steamed for a short time (about 8 to 10 minutes). This not only preserves the valuable ingredients but also ensures a certain bite firmness. Alternatively, broccoli can be sauteed in a little butter for a few minutes and seasoned with garlic, salt, and nutmeg.

THE United States has labeled Nigeria as a ‘country of concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998’.
Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of state made this known in an interface with the press.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has frowned at the US position, saying it received the announcement as a rude shock.
A statement signed by the Ministry’s spokesman, Ferdinand Nwonye said, Nigeria is miffed that a secular country under a democratic government would be so designated.
“Although the Nigerian State is multi-religious and multi-ethnic, the Nigerian constitution expressly states that the Government shall not adopt any religion as State religion.”
He further explained that, “section 38 of the Constitution guarantees that every Nigerian citizen is entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion including freedom to change his/her religion or belief and freedom to manifest and propagate his/her religion or belief.
“Religious liberty in Nigeria has never been in question, therefore any claim contrary to that is completely false and untrue.”
The statement reiterated the Nigeria’s Government commitment to ensuring the respect and protection of all citizens’ right to religious freedom and promotion of religious tolerance and harmony.
He assured that the Government will take the necessary steps to engage the United States Government to express its displeasure and request that Nigeria be removed from the list.

While preparing for the 2023 planting season, Limeledge and the family trust that owns the old Simmons farm hosting Limeledge were sued. The suit contained wild accusations and allegations against certain family trustees, and against Limeledge. Upon arguing our case and having our day in court, the allegations and the lawsuit against us were DISMISSED. In addition, Limeledge was granted a cease-and-desist order against those that had attempted to use the lawsuit to prevent the farm transition from moving forward. More details on Limeledge’s history and formation can be seen in Dr. Crim’s personal affidavit in response to the suit .
Why would anyone try to destroy an initiative as unique and beneficial to the community as Limeledge? When people act this way, the answer is almost always related to money. The parties supporting the lawsuit against Limeledge had been secretly meeting with a representative from Pyramid Management Group about selling the property to an unknown buyer hiding behind a shell corporation— likely a mining company. Following the initiation of Limeledge’s formation in 2022, a purchase offer— facilitated by Pyramid— was presented for the trust farm property and an adjacent parcel owned by Limeledge founder Philip Crim. This offer was strongly rejected by Dr. Crim and the Simmons family majority.
Limeledge is perched on the edge of a Limestone outcrop that runs across upstate New York, from the Helderberg Escarpment in the Capital Region all the way to Lake Erie and beyond. What is a steep cliff at Thacher Park near Albany is a much more gradual, graceful slope in CNY. As a result of our location, there are two large stone quarries less than a mile from Limeledge, and large parcels of land in this area are particularly valuable for mining— and exploitation. As the image above shows, there is also a large belt of forest in this area, and this undeveloped area consists of high-quality habitat such as fens, limestone glades, and a wide variety of soils over the limestone thanks to glaciation. Some of the best botanizing in the area can be found there, and one tree species that had been recently declared extinct in Onondaga County— native Kentucky coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus)— still exists in these woodlands. In fact, it is present on the very property hosting Limeledge and grows right up to the edge of the arboretum on the Cook Lot. Its occurrence is so special here that it inspired Limeledge’s logo.
However, even with the lawsuit won and a cease and desist on the behalf of Limeledge to protect it from its attackers, the threats to the property continue. Debris was piled in a planting area leased by Limeledge to prevent our plans from moving forward, and a garden was guerilla-planted nearby as well. Limeledge was threatened with being dragged through the mud if the garden was removed; a story was concocted that it was their mother’s garden, and that Limeledge would be slandered in the community for destroying an old lady’s garden if we moved forward in exerting our rights on the property. We did— and we were extensively slandered on social media, in heinous violation of the cease and desist order.
In November, some of the parties behind the lawsuit brought staff and machinery from a local nursery into the fragile woodland ecosystems at Limeledge. Using a Bobcat, they began tearing up the understory to remove as many fossil-laden stones to sell for landscaping as possible. Fortunately, their activities were halted, but not before significant damage was inflicted upon the landscape.
Help us conserve this fragile and unique landscape and its ecology while making it a place that everyone in CNY can explore and enjoy!

In late 2013, Ukraine’s president, Viktor Yanukovych, was being advised by Paul Manafort. The country was headed toward a widely popular trade deal with the European Union (EU). That deal, in turn, required Ukraine to make serious efforts against the public and private corruption that had characterized the country since it escaped from the Soviet Union. Suddenly, Yanukovych announced that the deal with the EU had been abandoned in favor of an alternative deal with Russia. Crowds, as they say, took to the streets with pitch-forks and fiery brands. Yanukovych left in his socks. Manafort lost his client and slunk off into far-from-poverty. Then Ukraine lost the Crimea and a couple of eastern “oblasts” (administrative districts) to Russian intervention.
Post-Yanukovych Ukraine hoped for help from the West, although it still had the same problem with corruption that the previous agreement had sought to address. The United States and other Western countries slammed economic sanctions on Russia. They also agree to provide some “non-lethal” aid to Ukraine’s military.
After the fall of Yanukovych, Alexandra Chalupa reportedly agreed to do some pro-bono work for a Ukrainian client. In the course of this work and for reasons that have not been explained, she started researching Paul Manafort. This included digging into the Ukrainian “oligarchs” who had sponsored Yanukovych. Those oligarchs had been pro-Russian.
Donald Trump sounded very pro-Russian on the campaign trail. So, in late 2015, when his campaign started to look like it might have legs, Chalupa reportedly doubled-down on investigating Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
In January 2016, long before Manafort had any role in the Trump campaign, Chalupa told an unidentified contact at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) that, “I felt there was a Russia connection” to the Trump campaign. “And that, if there was, that we can expect Paul Manafort to be involved in this election.” By early 2016, she was telling the pro-Democrat Ukrainian-Americans with whom she was in contact that Manafort was “Putin’s political brain for manipulating U.S. foreign policy and elections.”
During a March 2016 meeting at the Ukrainian Embassy on an unrelated matter, Chalupa told Ukraine’s ambassador, Valeriy Chaly, of her concerns. The ambassador wasn’t much worried about any links between Manafort and Trump because he didn’t think Trump could win the nomination, let alone the election.
Four days later, Trump hired Manafort as his campaign manager. Alarms bells started ringing. The next day, Chalupa made a presentation to the communications staff of the DNC on Trump, Manafort, and possible links between Russia and the campaign.
A week later, Chalupa talked over the possibility of a congressional investigation into the allegations with a legislative assistant to Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio). This talk produced no results.
Later, the DNC encouraged Chalupa to contact the embassy of Ukraine. Her reported goal was an interview with Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko. It was hoped that Poroshenko would talk about Manafort and his connection to Yanukovych. She didn’t get the meeting, but embassy officials did provide her with information and further leads. Thereafter, “If I asked a question, they would provide guidance, or if there was someone I needed to follow up with.” [But] “There were no documents given, nothing like that.” In addition, “Chalupa said the embassy also worked directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort and Russia to point them in the right directions.”
Accounts by Ukrainian diplomats in the embassy at that time differ from one another. Either the embassy wasn’t doing anything to help the Democrats investigate Trump and Russia, or they were neck-deep in it. Andrii Telizhenko, who worked as a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy, has claimed that he “recalled that Chalupa told him and [Deputy Chief of Mission Oksana] Shulyar that, ‘If we can get enough information on Paul [Manafort] or Trump’s involvement with Russia, she can get a hearing in Congress by September ’.”
“In March 2016, [according to an attorney for Perkins Coie] Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie (a law firm representing both the Clinton campaign and the DNC). Did Perkins Coie want Fusion GPS to continue the opposition research previously done for a Republican opponent of Donald Trump? Fusion had, thanks to its earlier work for a contract with a “Never Trump” Republican, a bunch of leads. These included, according to Jane Mayer, “Trump’s … tax and bankruptcy problems, potential ties to organized crime, and numerous legal entanglements. They also revealed that Trump had an unusually high number of connections to Russians with questionable backgrounds.” Initially, Fusion GPS focused on Trump’s “business and entertainment activities,” rather than the Russian aspect.
In April 2016, Marc Elias of Perlins Coie agreed to the deal with Fusion GPS.
In late April 2016, Chalupa made a presentation to a group of visiting Ukrainian journalists at an event held at the Library of Congress. She had invited Michael Isikoff to attend and introduced him to some of the Ukrainians. Isikoff already was working on Manafort and Ukraine.
In early May 2016, Chalupa e-mailed DNC communications director Luis Miranda about “a big Trump component you and [DNC research director] Lauren [Dillon] need to be aware of that will hit in next few weeks and something I’m working on you should be aware of.” However, her e-mail account had been under sustained attack by a “state-sponsored entity,” so she wanted to present the information in person.
In June 2016, Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steel to investigate Trump’s Russia connections, rather than any of the other potential scandals investigated earlier by Fusion GPS. .
Did Ukrainians alarmed by Donald Trump’s pro-Russian stance on issues feed Alexandra Chalupa information about Trump’s supposed contacts with the Russians?
Did Alexandra Chalupa repeatedly apprise the Democratic National Committee of what she had learned?
Did people at the DNC take these warnings seriously?
Did they hire Fusion GPS to investigate these specific ties, rather than the other ones raised by the earlier Fusion GPS research on behalf of a Republican “Never Trump” sponsor?
Did any of the information provided to Chalupa end up as leads for, or even in, the “Steele Dossier”?
 Kenneth P. Vogel and David Stern, “Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire,” Politico, 11 January 2017. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446 This article inspired push-back.

 Hard to understand that unless the ambassador or the foreign minister or the president, Poroshenko, ordered it.
 If you spend much time reading about the contemporary Ukraine, you could get the idea that there are a lot of self-interested and devious people in public life. Makes it difficult to sort out the exact facts.

New International Version
Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting their tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead.
King James Bible
To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Darby Bible Translation
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, nor set their top amidst the thick boughs, and that none of them that drink water stand up in his height by himself; for they are all given over unto death in the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
World English Bible
to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all who drink water: for they are all delivered to death, to the lower parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with those who go down to the pit.
Young's Literal Translation
In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth -- the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto those going down to the pit.
Ezekiel 31:14 Parallel
CommentaryClarke's Commentary on the Bible
To the end that none of all the trees - Let this ruin, fallen upon Egypt, teach all the nations that shall hear of it to be humble, because, however elevated, God can soon bring them down; and pride and arrogance, either in states or individuals, have the peculiar abhorrence of God. Pride does not suit the sons of men; it made devils of angels, and makes fiends of men.
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
stand up in their height. or, stand upon themselves for their height.
To a modern taste, Ezekiel does not appeal anything like so powerfully as Isaiah or Jeremiah. He has neither the majesty of the one nor the tenderness and passion of the other. There is much in him that is fantastic, and much that is ritualistic. His imaginations border sometimes on the grotesque and sometimes on the mechanical. Yet he is a historical figure of the first importance; it was very largely from him that Judaism received the ecclesiastical impulse by which for centuries it was powerfully …
John Edgar McFadyen—Introduction to the Old Testament
And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day.
(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions?
But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."
They went down alive into the realm of the dead, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community.
Those who want to kill me will be destroyed; they will go down to the depths of the earth.
But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler."
then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place in the land of the living.

While therapeutic cell transplantations using progenitor cells are increasingly evolving towards phase I and II clinical trials and chemically defined cell culture is established, standardization in biobanking is still in the stage of infancy. In this study, the EU FP6-funded CRYSTAL
(CRYo-banking of Stem cells for human Therapeutic AppLication) consortium aimed to validate novel Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to perform and validate xeno-free and chemically defined cryopreservation of human progenitor cells and to reduce the amount of the potentially toxic cryoprotectant
additive (CPA) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). To achieve this goal, three human adult progenitor and stem cell populations—umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived erythroid cells (UCB-ECs), UCB-derived endothelial colony forming cells (UCB-ECFCs), and adipose tissue (AT)-derived mesenchymal stromal
cells (AT-MSCs)—were cryopreserved in chemically defined medium supplemented with 10% or 5% DMSO. Cell recovery, cell repopulation, and functionality were evaluated postthaw in comparison to cryopreservation in standard fetal bovine serum (FBS)-containing freezing medium. Even with a
reduction of the DMSO CPA to 5%, postthaw cell count and viability assays indicated no overall significant difference versus standard cryomedium. Additionally, to compare cellular morphology/membrane integrity and ice crystal formation during cryopreservation, multiphoton laser-scanning cryomicroscopy
(cryo-MPLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used. Neither cryo-MPLSM nor SEM indicated differences in membrane integrity for the tested cell populations under various conditions. Moreover, no influence was observed on functional properties of the cells following cryopreservation
in chemically defined freezing medium, except for UCB-ECs, which showed a significantly reduced differentiation capacity after cryopreservation in chemically defined medium supplemented with 5% DMSO. In summary, these results demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of standardized xeno-free
cryopreservation of different human progenitor cells and encourage their use even more in the field of tissue-engineering and regenerative medicine.

The Racine Police Department wants people to be aware of a scam involving the IRS calling citizens and telling them they owe money. This is an old scam that seems to come up every year during tax season. The scam consists of an automated call from the “IRS” saying that they owe money and will be taken to jail within 24 hours if they don’t pay.
The scam is extremely hard to investigate due to the method of payment that the scammers have victims pay by. The method usually involves having the victim go get some sort of gift card that they then have to give the number of to the scammer over the phone. The money off of the gift card is then spent almost immediately. It is also possible that they are told to wire transfer money to someone as well. In both cases it leaves police with little to follow up on in an investigation.
Please be aware of this scam and be careful not to give our personal information to anyone over the phone.
All media inquiries regarding this incident should be directed to my attention at (262) 635-7772.

Taking a digital photo today made me think a little about nature and complexity.
The photo was taken in RAW mode on my Nikon D200 camera which resulted in a 15MB file being created by the camera. When I was back at the ranch, after importing the image, and seeing the size of this image, I thought about it a bit:
- When I was 17 I spent about 6 months of my life to create a software package that was less than 8KB in size.
- This photo took 1/200 of a second to take, and was 15MB in size (approx. 2000 times the storage required by the software package I wrote).
The photo I took today was complex in its detail, but took almost no time to create. The software package I wrote in 1983 was fairly complex to create, yet used less than 1/2000 of the storage required by the photo. Times move on at an incredible pace!

A block diagram of FLOE (Fish Lidar, Oceanic, Experimental).
In this Fish Lidar System, a laser emits a short
pulse (~15ns) of green (532nm) light toward the ocean surface. Some
of the light is reflected from the surface and some continues down to be
reflected back from a school of fish. A 20-cm telescope is
pointed in the same direction as the laser and collects the reflected light.
This telescope is a simple refractor that uses a condensor lens.
A 10-nm wide interference filter filters out most of the background light
and lets only the laser light through to the photomultiplier tube.
The photomultiplier tube (PMT) detects the reflected laser light
and converts it into an electrical signal. In some cases, a logarithmic
amplifier compresses the electrical signal. The signal is routed
to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a personal computer where it
is digitized and saved to the hard disk. In other cases, two ADC
boards with different gains are used to increase the dynamic range of the
Two different displays are available on the aircraft
computer. The first is a line plot of the return signal as a function
of time for each shot. Since time can be related to distance through
the speed of light, this is equivalent to a plot of the return energy as
a function of depth for each laser pulse. At 30 pulses per second,
this display produces 30 plots per second, which can be hard to follow.
Therefore, we have another display that shows depth in the vertical axis,
shot number in the horizontal axis, and encodes return power as a gray

An intensified CCD camera has also been used with the system for some applications.
This camera has a very short exposure time (20 ns) that can be triggered to take a picture
when the laser pulse is at a preselected distance below the surface of the water. The
picture that results is an image of the laser spot scattered by particles in the water at that
depth. If there is a large fish or other object above the illuminated particles, its shadow
will show up in the image. This camera has been used to detect

Bitcoin rose modestly on the last Friday of the month, breaking through recent resistance at $21,100 in the process. ETHalso turned green in today’s session, rising about 5% and exceeding its own price ceiling.
After a wild week of trading,BTCrallied again on Friday, with prices moving above $21,000 for the weekend.
Less than a day after trading at a low of $20,233.56,. BTC/USD rose to an intraday peak of $21,266.39.
In hectic trading on Friday, prices moved above a key resistance point at $21,100, as bulls continue to buy the recent bitcoin dip.
Traders who overcome today’s hurdles will likely be looking for this week’s high at $21,700 over the weekend.
The chart suggests that if this level is achieved, many bulls will choose to take profits and exit their positions as the 14-day RSI is about to be capped.
This hurdle is 36.70 points on the Relative Strength Index, which is currently at 35, firmly in oversold territory.
Ethereum was closing sharply closer to $1,200 on Friday as bullish momentum pushed prices above key resistance levels.
After nearly falling below $1,000 in Thursday’s session,ETH/USD soared to an intraday high of $1,191.27 at the time of writing.
At this peak, the world’s second largest crypto token traded about 8% higher from yesterday’s floor, breaking through the $1,190 ceiling in the process.
As mentioned yesterday, this level was one of the only hurdles preventing prices from re-entering $1,200 territory.
With a breakout likely later in today’s session, the only question is where the bulls choose to exercise their exit.

ABSORBING THE SHOCK OF EAGLE'S LANDING.
Crushable aluminum honeycomb cartridge designed for the Lunar Module's landing gear primary struts, 48 inches tall, 5½ inches in diameter, and less than 5lb in weight. Finely-engineered aluminum in honeycomb formation, alloy caps and collar. Three Grumman paper parts labels, a few inspection stamps on the alloy parts. A few minor dents.
How to land Eagle safely on the moon? This was the problem faced by NASA and Grumman engineers. Once the "contact light" lit, indicating the Lunar Module's probes had touched the lunar surface, Armstrong and Aldrin would shut off the engines and the LM would drop the remaining distance to the ground. Conventional hydraulic or pneumatic shock absorbers in the landing gear would be heavy and could leak, and Tom Kelly of Grumman insisted on a reliable and lightweight design. A company called Hexcel had developed aluminum honeycomb as a lightweight, rigid, high-strength filler material for aircraft control surfaces; they suggested their honeycomb might fit the bill. The landing gear would suffer only a one-time shock, so a reusable system was unnecessary. The honeycomb would be the buffer for an inner cylinder as it slid up inside an outer cylinder.
Compressing by as much as 32 inches, the honeycomb was designed for an impact of up to ten feet per second. In fact no Apollo mission landed at more than four feet per second. As a result, Eagle's struts did not collapse as much as expected, leaving the ladder some way above the moon's surface. Just after exiting the LM, Armstrong remarked "I just checked getting back up to that first step, Buzz. It's ... the strut isn't collapsed too far, but it's adequate to get back up."
Designed for the sole purpose of landing a man on the moon, this object is a fine example of the ingenuity that made the Apollo landings a success.

Day 23 - I Spy Hand Doodle
I traced my hand and doodled various pictures and since this is food related I made sure there were menu items included in the ink sketch.
Brunch - Hawaiian beans - recipe soften navy beans and cook with molasses, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, sauteed onion and spam cubes. (I'm wearing a dress from Maui so I was inspired)
Dinner - fish, corn bread with honey, and fruit salad (this is the I Spy portion, I didn't say it was hard to find)
Snack - orange

BEIJING - China has once again claimed no new deaths by coronavirus today, drawing praise from the American media.
President Xi Jinping made the extraordinary claim even as a peasant pushed a cart filled with dead bodies behind him, shouting, "Bring out your dead!" the entire time.
"No, no one is dead," President Xi assured the media. "We have completely cured everything." The communist dictator claimed they have cured the virus using sheep's bladders, which they also use to prevent earthquakes. His scientists also discovered the earth to be banana-shaped.
As he continued to claim everything is perfectly fine in China, the dead collector went from house to house collecting the dead behind him and even assisting when people were only mostly dead and not all dead.
"I said no one is dead!" President Xi insisted.
"He says no one's dead," the body collector said to his cart pusher.
"Well, he can't be trusted," the cart pusher replied. "He's not fooling anyone, you know."
The hapless peasants were then hit on the head with a club and loaded into the cart with the others.
"We apologize for the peasants pushing that cart that was absolutely not filled with bodies," President Xi said. "Those responsible have been sacked."

A new study analyzing the growth of lab-grown brain organoids has found significant similarities in the growth of the human brain in early growth.
Growing simplified, miniature versions of human brains in the lab can give researchers a very important model to study psychological research and how the disease attaches itself to this amazingly complex organ, and we have just seen how these organoids share the same truth. Scientists have conducted an initial analysis of the 20-month-old lobster-like species to find that they have grown as much as the human brain, following an internal clock that directs their growth.
Brain organoids enlarged by labs are increasingly becoming a research tool, giving scientists a platform to study diseases such as epilepsy, autism and schizophrenia, or to test the effects of psychedelic drugs on various proteins. Scientists have also seen how these organoids can produce blood vessels, and provide electrical signals similar to those of the prenatal brain, and specify how they can create features similar to that of the human brain.
It all starts with the production of stimulant cells, which are joined by certain chemicals that make them grow into various brain cells. This sees them interact with duplicate 3D frames located in the brain, and while this doesn't result in consciousness, the structure plays to capture the electrical signals moving in the same direction as they do in the human brain.
In this novel study, scientists at Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles have amplified these organoids in laboratory containers over a 20-month period. Researchers then used genetic analysis to investigate the extent of the development, finding that these tiny brain labs reach maturity in 250 to 300 days, “the same timeline as in vivo development."
"We show that these 3D brain cells follow an internal clock, which continues in the lab space similar to what happens inside the body," said the first study author, Aaron Gordon. "These findings are astounding - we show that they reached maturity after birth about 280 days in the culture, and then began to show features in the baby's brain, including known physiological changes in the neurotransmitter signature."
The reason why these findings are so important is that to date, a common view around the lab- grown brains is that cells do not normally grow at the same rate as babies. This type of research therefore raises prospects for a rich brain one day to grow and develop, which will open up completely new scientific ways to learn about diseases that start in adults, such as schizophrenia and dementia.

The deck of cards workout provides both simplicity and versatility, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to switch up their exercise routines. This dynamic workout involves assigning exercises to each card in the deck and then drawing cards at random to determine the sequence.
A simple deck of cards can be the new fitness companion for people who are tired of their regular bro-split or push-pull-legs.
Pre-requisites of the deck of cards workout
- Gather your materials: Grab a standard deck of cards and designate a workout space that provides enough room for your movements.
- Choose your exercises: Select a variety of exercises that target different muscle groups, including cardio, strength, and core exercises.
- Assign exercises to cards: Assign a specific exercise to each card in the deck. For example, hearts could represent push-ups, diamonds could be squats, clubs could be lunges, and spades could be burpees.
- Warm-up: Before diving into your workout, warm up your muscles with dynamic stretches and light cardiovascular activity.
Guide to the ultimate deck of cards workout
Cardio blast: Ace through King challenge
The Ace through King challenge is a wonderful way to get the heart rate up and burn calories, so assign a cardio exercise to each card value from Ace to King. For instance:
- Ace: Jumping jacks
- Two: High knees
- Three: Mountain climbers
- Four: Jump squats
- Five: Burpees
- Six: Skaters
- Seven: Jump rope
- Eight: Butt kickers
- Nine: Running in place
- Ten: Tuck jumps
- Jack: Side-to-side hops
- Queen: Box jumps
- King: Sprints
Shuffle the deck and draw a card one by one, performing the corresponding exercise for the number of repetitions indicated by the card value. Challenge yourself to complete the entire deck for a high-intensity cardio session.
Strength and endurance: Number-based exercises
Incorporating number-based exercises into a deck of cards workout helps build strength and endurance, so assign specific exercises to each number as follows:
- Two: Push-ups
- Three: Squats
- Four: Lunges (each leg)
- Five: Sit-ups
- Six: Tricep dips
- Seven: Russian twists
- Eight: Bicycle crunches
- Nine: Plank jacks
- Ten: Shoulder presses
- Jack: Bicep curls
- Queen: Deadlifts
- King: Overhead presses
Draw a card from the deck and perform the exercise for the number of repetitions corresponding to the card value. Repeat until you’ve completed the entire deck, focusing on maintaining proper form and technique throughout the workout.
Abdominal attack: Suits for core strength
The core stands for stability and overall strength, so assign different core exercises to each suit in the deck:
- Hearts: Crunches
- Diamonds: Russian twists
- Clubs: Planks
- Spades: Leg raises
Shuffle the deck and draw a card from each suit, performing the designated exercise for the card’s value. This will engage the abdominal muscles, helping to achieve a sculpted and toned core.
Full-body burn: Combining different exercises
To target multiple muscle groups and create a full-body burn, combine different exercises for each card drawn by assigning exercises to specific card values and suits, creating a diverse and challenging workout routine. For example:
- Hearts: Push-ups
- Diamonds: Squats
- Clubs: Burpees
- Spades: Plank jacks
Draw a card from the deck, and depending on the suit, perform the exercise assigned to that suit for the number of repetitions indicated by the card value and repeat this process. Focus on maintaining proper form and intensity throughout the workout.
Adding variations to the deck of cards workout
- Increase repetitions: Perform more repetitions for each card value drawn.
- Change exercise order: Rearrange the order of exercises in the deck to keep your body guessing.
- Time-based challenge: Set a timer and try to complete as many cards as possible within a specific time frame.
- Advanced exercises: Replace basic exercises with more advanced variations as you progress in your fitness journey.
Customize your own deck of cards workout to fit your fitness level and goals, pushing yourself to new heights of strength and endurance.

These are my all-time favorite cookies. I love the combination of chocolate chips, butter, and cream cheese. It is the perfect combination for me to make when I am trying to stay healthy eating real food.
That is one of the reasons why I love these cookies. I eat one or two a week when I have no other cookies. I love the fact that I am eating real food and that I am not cheating myself.
The truth is that ree drummond cookies are delicious but don’t taste like real cookies. They are also super delicious but are made with real ingredients (except for the chocolate and the butter).
The cookies do not have any artificial sweeteners, but they do use real ingredients. The butter is real, buttery, and has a slightly nutty flavor and the cream cheese is a real thing. The cookies are made with real ingredients. They are a bit messy, but that is mostly due to the extra butter and cream cheese filling them.
This is the second time we’ve seen ree drummond cookies. The first time was a collaboration with the Red Bull of the world, which is a drink made from real ingredients. They also were made with real chocolate and milk, but they were a little bit more decadent. The cookies are made with real ingredients and are not very messy.
In the video below, you will see the red-white-and-blue-striped cookies, which are the cookies that give the red, white, and blue the colour scheme. It is a very creative and unique cookie and so it must be quite something to be involved with. We think it was a very cool idea to make cookies with real ingredients.
The cookie recipe is quite simple: You need to break down chocolate into its various ingredients, then you must melt chocolate in the microwave before adding the ingredients. The cookies are not very messy, and since they’re made with real ingredients, they can still be made without a mixer.
Ree’s idea of cookies was to use them in creative ways. Instead of using them to just melt chocolate, they can be used in other ways. I find that the cookies are a great way to use your cookies.
The cookie recipe is simple to make and is really easy to modify. The idea is to use two different kinds of cookies, white chocolate cookies and chocolate chip cookies. You can substitute half the white chocolate cookie, but the cookies will have a much creamier texture and flavor. You can also make the cookies with the chocolate chip cookie.

Global Scholars Seminar
By introducing students to undergraduate research, providing them with opportunities to learn more about study and research abroad, and helping them think about ways they might integrate international into their post-graduate lives, the seminar serves as the foundation for the Global Scholars program.
Music and Migration
Dr. Ketty Wong, Associate Professor, Ethnomusicology
Time/Place: 5:30-8:00 pm on Tuesdays ♦ 108 Nunemaker
What happens when people, religious beliefs, and ideas about music migrate to new social and cultural contexts around the world? Global Scholars will explore the circulation of musical instruments through the Silk Road, how African religions have adapted to the Caribbean through slavery and its aftermath, the effects of European immigration on Argentina’s tango, border and immigration issues reflected in Mexican corridos, and the reception of new musical genres and dances around the world. While music provides continuity to migrants’ dislocation and infuses their new culture with unique sounds and ideas, how can it impact race, class, gender, sexuality, national identity and transnationalism?

The Wild Life of Our Bodies: Predators, Parasides, and Partners that Shape Who We Are Today
© 2011 Rob Dunn
You can take the man out of the jungle, but not the jungle out of the man. Such is the lesson of Rob Dunn’s brilliantly-written The Wild Life of Our Bodies, which demonstrates to readers the ways in which interactions with other species have shaped human evolution, and the folly of our attempt to sever our ties with the natural world.
I initially thought this book was on the body as an ecosystem, host to millions of other lifeforms; some preying on us, others living in a mutualistic relationship with us, helping us to digest food in return for a roof over their little unicellular heads. That’s only the start of Dunn’s piece, and even there he turns expectations on our heads. Sure, we need bacteria to help digest our food — but as it turns out, we need, or at least could use, parasites active in our system to give certain immune responses something to do. Absent of real threats, our immune system will happily turn on us, causing various diseases and disorders. We forget how utterly alien the civilized world is to bodies which evolved in the world, becoming geared to compete and strive and fight, to cope with famine and stress.
No man is an island, nor is any species. The interactions between species — as foes, as friends — drive evolution, giving pronghorns and cheetahs faster legs to outrun the other, and avocado fruits larger volume to attract animals with larger appetites. Humans, in spite of our tendency to view ourselves as separate from the ‘animal world’, are no different in being shaped by others. Not only have our appearances changed because of relations with other species, but part of our emotional life and even our aesthetic senses have ties to ecology. Take taste, for instance: it’s no coincident that fruit bearing seed ready to germinate tastes delightful, while unripe fruits — those with seeds still readying themselves — taste bitter. The bitterness is the plant’s way of keeping hungry foragers from forcing the seeds into the world before their time. Other species have shaped not only human bodies, but human civilization — take the lactose-tolerance that prevails in pastoral societies, and the way grasses and cattle have prospered by becoming the staple of many civilizations.
This is popular science at its best: insightful, with lessons that apply across the whole of human existence, and enterprisingly written to boot. The implications for medicine are especially worth considering, and the book as a whole reminds of the law of unintended consequences.

Marble City Opera Presents an Opera About Ada Lovelace, the First Computer Programmer
Melony Dodson talks with MCO Executive and Artistic Director, Kathryn Frady, and stage director, Sierra Hammond
Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician and writer who lived from 1815 to 1852. In 1833, she met the English mathematician, inventor, and mechanical engineer, Charles Babbage, who originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Ada was inspired by Babbage's work and realized that his invention, the Analytical Engine, could carry out an extensive sequence of mathematical operations. She wrote some examples out on paper and computer historians consider these to be the first computer program. In this opera by American composer, Kamala Sankaram and libretto by Rob Handel, Ada struggles between her work in mathematics and upholding her reputation and "roles" as a wife, mother, and public figure.
Performances are March 16, 17, and 18th at 7:30pm at the Old City Performing Arts Center in downtown Knoxville. This opera is a part of the Penny4Arts program. Children K-12 are admitted free with a paying adult. Tickets and additional information at https://www.marblecityopera.com/

It does if you want it to.
That’s how my friend, who has been a widow three years longer than I have been, responded to my question, “Does life get any better?”
Her response was a game changer for me this year in how I’m approaching life as I move forward. Honestly, what I expected to hear from her was something like, “Well, there are days that are easier than others; life will never be the same, as you know. You will have ups and downs.” All logical and true responses. But her directness about what I can control has been the best counsel I’ve received since my husband died.
Life gets better if you want it to. And I get to choose.
Her response reminds me that my thoughts drive my feelings. Here’s what that doesn’t mean. It doesn’t mean that I pretend that I’m not grieving–that I push down my emotions and slap on a smile. If I don’t acknowledge grief, it hounds me until I do–until I have that good cry or sit with that funky, angry mood. I lost a person, a love, a life that was very important to me. Grief is a part of my life now. But I don’t have to get stuck in it or be controlled by it. Facing it straight on is the best way to go through it.


text: Tempe fermentation involved complex microbial communities which are only revealed partially through culture dependent methods. Culture-independent methods would be potential to unravel this complex microbial fermentation. Appropriate DNA extraction is an essential tool to obtain reliable data from culture independent method. In this study, we employed two commercial DNA extraction methods to find the best one for microbial community characterization employing amplified ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA). Our result showed that PowerFood Microbial DNA Isolation Kit-MOBIO (PFMDIK) is an excellent method for microbial DNA extraction from tempe. It gave high quantity and quality of DNA suitable for PCR amplification of 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer to yield a diverse and reproducible ARISA profile.

Tea party, get your facts right
We have all been hearing about the tea party movement. Now we have seen all the rallies about how the tea party movement have said stop taxing us, and said how people cannot afford Obama's high taxes. These people would probably like bush who had two big tax cuts.Those tax cuts in 2001 gave 44% of all the tax cut money to the top 20% wealthiest americans, and in the 2003 tax cuts 77% of all that money went to the top 20% wealthiest people. Under Obama people 173 billion dollars in taxes were cut meaning that in total the the tax revenue redused for the goverment, and that means people paid less taxes in 2009 when Obama came in.

Yes. Postgres does not offer triggers on system tables, so there is
no reliable way for Bucardo to detect such changes. The best way to
make DDL changes is as you said: stop Bucardo, make the changes on both
ends, then restart Bucardo.
There are long-term plans to automate some of that and have Bucardo
automatically detect and apply things like new columns to the slaves,
but it's still a very basic proof of concept at this point.
