Marcus Vick, Brenden Hill and Mike Imoh -- all Virginia Tech football players -- were charged with multiple counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor Tuesday, according to a statement released by the Montgomery County Commonwealth's Attorney's office.
The charges resulted from allegations made by two teenage girls that Vick had sex with their underage friend and that they were provided alcohol and posed for pictures Jan. 27 at Vick's apartment in Blacksburg. Vick, a Warwick High graduate who plays quarterback for Tech, was charged with four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor, the statement said. Hill, also a Warwick graduate who plays wide receiver, and Imoh, a tailback, were both charged with three counts of the same crime, authorities said.
All three players were released on bond Tuesday, the statement said.
Two girls allege Vick, 19, had sex with their 15-year-old friend Jan. 27, according to a Blacksburg police search warrant. Vick provided the girls -- ages 14 and 15 -- with vodka and rum at his apartment, according to the document. Two of the girls said one of Vick's roommates took pictures of the three girls "as they danced and stripped from their clothing."
Police searched Vick's apartment Jan. 29 for two liquor bottles, a digital camera, pictures of the girls, bedsheets and a used condom, according to the warrant.
Joey Showalter, the Montgomery County Commonwealth's Attorney, wouldn't comment after he issued Tuesday's statement.
"As in all criminal cases, these are pending charges and no further comment will be made by the Commonwealth's Attorney nor the Blacksburg police department," the statement said.
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison and/or a $2,500 fine. Attempts to reach Marc Long, Vick's attorney, were unsuccessful.
Virginia Tech's Comprehensive Action Plan will determine the playing status of the three student-athletes.
The plan provides a wide range of penalties based on the nature and severity of criminal involvement.
A player is not automatically suspended for misdemeanor charges, but a conviction would force Jim Weaver, Virginia Tech's athletic director, to review the situation. Weaver would then determine their playing status.
Larry Hincker, a university spokesman, wouldn't comment on the charges. Calls to Vick were forwarded to John Ballein, Virginia Tech's associate director of athletics for football operations. Ballein didn't answer the phone.
Vick played in 11 games last season as a redshirt freshman. He was suspended for Virginia Tech's game on Sept. 6 due to a violation of team policies. Imoh, 19, played in 12 games last season as a sophomore. Hill, a 19-year-old redshirt freshman last season, did not play in any games.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
* CHARGES: Contributing to the delinquency of a minor (Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick has been charged with four counts, and receiver Brenden Hill and tailback/kick returner Mike Imoh have each been charged with three counts).
* IMPACT: All three student-athletes were released on bond Tuesday. The charges are misdemeanors and each count carries a maximum penalty of 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine.
* STATUS: Hill, Imoh and Vick have not yet faced disciplinary action from Virginia Tech's football program or from the university. Jim Weaver, Virginia Tech's athletic director, would be forced to review the situation of any player convicted, according to the university's Comprehensive Action Plan. Weaver would then decide the student-athlete's playing status. Whether or not they are convicted, Hill, Imoh and Vick might face sanctions from the university's Office of Judiciary Affairs.

|I know some vegetable farmers who keep meticulous records of the cost (financial cost, anyway) associated with each crop they grow. They can tell you precisely how much they paid to produce the head of lettuce on their market table. That may not seem like much of an accounting feat. But a farmer and farm crew can have a lot of interactions with a head of lettuce in the course of getting it from seed order to market, and keeping track of all those interactions and all the other inputs would require a fair amount of record keeping.
On our farm, in addition to seeding and transplanting and cutting and washing the head of lettuce, someone had to water it in the greenhouse two or three times a day for four weeks, spread compost on the bed in the high tunnel where it grew, dig in the compost, hoe out the first flush of weeds, spread fertilizer (we use North Country organic fertilizer), rake the bed smooth, mark the row, set up and run the irrigation, put the sides of the high tunnel down at night and back up in the morning and weed. And those are just the tasks most directly related to the lettuce. Someone on the farm also put up the seedling greenhouse and high tunnel, washed the seedling tray, got the potting soil and fertilizer to the farm, built the washing area, sharpened the harvest knife, washed the harvest bucket, repaired the greenhouse heater, installed the frost free water line to the seedling house. And in addition to that labor, there are the inputs: seed, potting soil, seedling tray, seedling greenhouse, greenhouse bench, greenhouse heater, propane for greenhouse heater, vent fan and shutter, frost free hydrant, electricity for water pump, heater and vent fan, field house, compost, fertilizer, bucket tractor, diesel and oil and filters and repairs for tractor, shovel, hoe, rake, hose, nozzle, and the land itself.
And for the farmer who is keeping track of all those costs, figuring out just how many minutes were spent watering and how many ounces of fertilizer were applied per square foot and what portion of the cost of a stirrup hoe can be charged to a head of lettuce, there is the expense of all that time doing bookkeeping, plus paper, pen and plenty of aspirin. Or maybe plenty of bourbon, followed by plenty of aspirin.
It will probably surprise nobody that I am not one of those farmers who can calculate the cost of a crop. Well maybe I could, but I don’t want to. Just coming up with the list of tasks and inputs above made me feel slightly dizzy. Anything more and I would have had to lie down and apply cool endive leaves to my brow. I can think of so many more fruitful things than bookkeeping to do with my
time. Plus I am afraid I would find the results of any tedious calculations I undertook a little too depressing. I prefer to maintain a rough sense of my costs on a par with my understanding of internal combustion engines.
Lately, though, I have been wondering just how much weeds cost me. We have been putting out a lot of hay mulch in the past week or so. I had the Elsworth, who run a custom feed operation a mile or two down the road, round bale two of our hay fields. We ended up with 40 bales (that’s about 10 tons of hay), and we have been putting the hay between the rows of plastic mulch (biodegradable corn-based Italian plastic mulch) we transplant into. Between the plastic and hay, we hope to cover all the ground where our crops are not growing and suppress the weeds. If it works we will save ourselves a lot of weeding labor later, retain soil moisture, decrease the transmission of soil-borne diseases to the crops, boost beneficial microbial soil life and add a lot of organic matter to the fields. Even if it does not work as well as I hope it will–and since we are talking about farming it is pretty well guaranteed to fall short of expectations–it will do a lot of good.
Enough good that I would love to mulch most of the farm (plus it is aesthetically pleasing; if the camera were not broken I would include a picture of the onion patch, but you will have to come and see if for yourself). So why am I not doing that. Well, we have used almost thirty of those bales already, and so far we have only mulched the onions, the first outside tomatoes and some of the pumpkins. To mulch just the other crops where it would make the biggest difference–the summer and winter squash, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, celeriac, rutabagas and leeks–would require another 60 or 70 bales, and we could easily use that many again mulching other crops such as late season potatoes, herbs and kale.
To get that many bales and the equipment to move and spread them efficiently would require a serious investment. It is tempting, if only because the mulched beds look so good. But is it worth it? Does the war on weeds justify the cost? Are weeds even truly the enemy?
Weeds do take away nutrients and moisture and sunlight from our crops, which they can almost always out compete for these resources, and they can provide habitats for bugs and diseases that damage our crops. If we never weeded we would not have much to pack in the CSA boxes–except weeds. But does that mean we have to get rid of every weed or is the desire to create a perfectly tended field less an agricultural imperative than an expression of our authoritarian aesthetic drive to impose our sense of order on everything around us? Do I like the way my onion patch looks right now because I can see how productive it will be or because it is so clearly under control? And how would I account for the pleasure–whatever its source–I take in my onion patch when totting up the production costs of an onion?
And while I am in this questioning mood what makes me think after all these years of farming that my onion patch is under control? Even if we have found a way to keep the weeds out there are still onion thrips and botrytis fungi and hail storms threatening. When you try to grow crops there are always things threatening no matter how much mulch you put down.
To set out a row of onions is to learn that your ability to control your environment is limited. The world around you is, if not actually hostile to your onion growing aims, at least indifferent and teeming with other aims any number of which may come into conflict with your attempts to bring in a nice crop of onions or even just enjoy the sight of a well tended onion patch for long. But farmers are pig headed, so we keep trying anyway, hoping that our efforts, whatever their cost, will at least occasionally afford us a brief moment of feeling in control. It takes a lot of work and hay, but it sure is nice to see when you succeed every now and then.

If you were to survey residents in Washington who are divorced regarding causal factors that led to their marital splits, it is likely that no two responses would be exactly the same. That’s because no two marriages are the same. Some people may have shared common experiences leading up to divorce, but the overall unfolding of each situation is typically unique. Divorce can be quite challenging, and you may worry about various future issues, such as financial stability, as you navigate the process.
You can be proactive toward the outcome of your financial situation in divorce. In fact, there are several things you can keep in mind that can help steer your divorce proceedings in a positive direction. It’s also good to remember that you have rights, and there are support networks available to help you protect them.
Know how to maximize your options
You may have heard stories of others who suffered financial ruin because of divorce, but that doesn’t mean you have to assume a similar likelihood of events in your own situation. The following information may help you avoid stress and keep finances on track:
- If you were planning on buying a car or some other big ticket item and are worried that you won’t be able to do so following divorce, it may help to make your purchase before you file for divorce. Many states restrict large purchases once a divorce is on file.
- Full disclosure is critical when it comes to property division in divorce. It’s always a good idea to pay close attention to your spouse’s financial situation and money transactions leading up to property division proceedings. If you suspect your spouse is trying to hide assets to keep them from being subject to division, you can take immediate steps to address the problem in court.
- Documentation and preparation are key factors to avoiding a financial disadvantage in divorce. Photographing jewels, artwork and other valuable items, making hard copies of financial statements and account information, etc., can help you protect your rights and assets.
- If you receive stocks, bonds or real estate in the divorce process, you may be at risk for hidden tax implications. Learning as much as you can about this ahead of time may help you avoid unexpected financial strain in divorce.
It’s always a good idea to update your skills, education and employment status before you file for divorce. Not doing so may leave you financially vulnerable if the court expects you to secure paid employment as part of your post-divorce plan, especially if you have spent the last five or more years out of the workforce.
Access support to avoid financial trouble
One way many Washington residents have successfully avoided financial disaster in divorce is by relying on experienced legal representation to advocate on their behalves in court.

“My boyfriend is a gadget nerd, and he bought the Bonavita 1900TS drip for us — it’s turned out to be pretty great. We had been using Chemex, but it’s hard to be patient in the morning! If you take the time you’d spend waiting for a pour-over and actually weigh the beans, then this baby is unbeatable. It tastes almost the same as the Chemex.” — Sara Conklin, owner, Glasserie
Whole bean coffee that you grind yourself is preferable to pre-ground, too. The bean’s exterior traps and protects all of the delicate, volatile, and water-soluble oils that give coffee its flavor. As soon as you break the protective shell, it’s easy for the flavor to get contaminated, and much of the aroma escapes as soon as the oils are exposed to air.
For many of us, the daily grind can't begin until we've had that first cup of piping hot coffee—so the right brewer is at the top of the list. The most basic coffee makers make at least a decent cup, but a little more money buys conveniences such as programmability, a thermal carafe to keep coffee hot longer, settings that let you adjust brew strength, and more.

Attendees at the Egyptian-Lebanese Business Forum praised solving about eight problems for Lebanese investors in Egypt during the last two years, with investments worth $600 million; they also lauded the economic reforms undertaken by Egypt to improve the investment environment.
Egypt’s Minister of Investment Sahar Nasr and Minister of Communication Amr Talaat participated in the forum, in the presence of Lebanese Communication Minister Mohamed Shokai, Egypt’s Commercial Attaché in Beirut Mona Wahba, and a number of officials and Lebanese companies.
“The Egyptian state is considered an important station for investments, whether for Arabs or Africans. We witnessed the positive change and the openness that took place in Egypt during the last four years,” the Lebanese communication minister said.
“We, as the State of Lebanon, encourage investing in the Egyptian state because of the existing facilities,” he added.
Vice President of the Egyptian Lebanese Association Fouad Hadraj said that the economic reform measures implemented by the Egyptian government represent a point of light, pointing out that one of the most important features of this reform is the open dialogue between the State and the private sector.
Hadraj referred to the need to translate the two countries’ agreements and protocols to real projects on the ground to serve the interests of the Arab peoples.
Moreover, President of the Egyptian Lebanese Businessmen Association Fathallah Fawzy said that the relations between the two countries are on the threshold of a new stage in which they aspire to achieve unprecedented levels of economic cooperation, both at the level of joint direct investment or at the level of trade and exports.
Fawzy also stressed the need to achieve real partnership and integration between businessmen in the two brotherly countries and to take advantage of the great potentials, expertise of the two countries to meet the needs of the Arab markets, especially those that need to be re-built and to benefit from the existing Lebanese expertise in the continent. This comes in light of the increasing role of Egypt in the African continent after President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi received the presidency of the African Union.
For his part, head of the Egyptian side of the Egyptian-Lebanese Business Council Ahmed el-Sewedy stated that the industrialization in Egypt has become distinguished with a very good global reputation thanks to the stimulus package approved by the Egyptian government. He also stressed that the Egyptian companies are working to penetrate the investment sector in Lebanon.
The volume of Lebanese investments in Egypt amounts to $4 billion, through 1,645 companies that operate in the sectors of services, industry, construction, petroleum, tourism and agriculture. The Lebanese investment was the third fastest growing investment in Egypt during the past year.

Communication officers of the regional offices for boycotting Israel are to hold their 89th meeting in the Arab League headquarters on Tuesday, alamatonline.net has reported.
The Arab League official with responsibility for the occupied Palestinian territories, and the general commissioner of the head boycotting office, said on Monday that the officers meeting in the conference would spend three days discussing ways to activate an Arab boycott of Israel. Mohamed Sbeeh indicated that a number of issues are related to different Arab-owned companies which violate the boycott rules, and ways to impose sanctions on them. A number of US companies with branches in Israel will also be considered for sanctions. He indicated that they would discuss the modification of the general boycott principles in order to reactivate them.
According to Sbeeh, the boycott of Israel is one of the mechanisms adopted to express the Arab rejection of Israeli “practices and violations” in occupied Arab lands. EU and US boycott campaigns have cost the Israeli economy more than $20 billion, he pointed out. The boycott by those Arab countries which do not have diplomatic relations with Israel should be added to that cost.
“A boycott,” explained Sbeeh, “is an internationally-recognised economic weapon.” It was used previously against the Apartheid regime in South Africa, he noted.
The conclusions of the meeting will be presented at the upcoming meeting of the Arab foreign ministers in September. It is expected to be attended by all Arab countries expect those having relations with Israel.

Biden starts staffing a commission on Supreme Court reform
He pushed the idea as a candidate during the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation fight. Now, he’s getting it going.
The Biden administration is moving forward with the creation of a bipartisan commission to study reforms to the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary.
The commission will be housed under the purview of the White House Counsel’s office and filled out with the behind-the-scenes help of the Biden campaign’s lawyer Bob Bauer, who will co-chair the commission. Its specific mandate is still being decided. But, in a signal that the commission is indeed moving ahead, some members have already been selected, according to multiple people familiar with the discussions.
Among those who will be on the commission are Cristina Rodríguez, a professor at Yale Law School and a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Obama Department of Justice, who will join Bauer as co-chair. Caroline Fredrickson, the former president of the American Constitution Society, and Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard Law School professor and a former assistant attorney general in the Bush Department of Justice, will also serve on the commission, those familiar with discussions said.
Fredrickson has hinted that she is intellectually supportive of ideas like court expansion. In 2019, she said in an interview with Eric Lesh, the executive director of the LGBT Bar Association and Foundation of Greater New York: “I often point out to people who aren’t lawyers that the Supreme Court is not defined as ‘nine person body’ in the Constitution, and it has changed size many times.”
Rodríguez’s opinions on court reforms are less clear. Goldsmith’s selection, meanwhile, is likely to be the one to frustrate progressives. A senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Goldsmith did not support Trump and is a friend and co-author of Bauer. But he was a vocal advocate of Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the high court — an appointment that sparked Democratic advocacy for expanding the number of Supreme Court seats.
“He will also be an influential figure within the Supreme Court building,” Goldsmith wrote in 2018 about Kavanaugh in a Time article titled, “Brett Kavanaugh Will Right the Course of the Supreme Court.” “He is a brilliant analyst with a deep scholarly and practical knowledge of the law. His legal opinions are unusually accessible. He is a magnanimous soul.”
Bauer, who is not planning to go into the administration full-time, is himself a proponent of term limits for federal judges. He has been helping with the creation of the commission and, according to a person familiar with the deliberations, initially proposed the idea of forming a commission to study the issue of court reform.
“The President remains committed to an expert study of the role and debate over reform of the court and will have more to say in the coming weeks,” a White House official said in a statement.
The recruitment of members is still ongoing, but a source familiar with the discussion expects between nine and 15 members total to be appointed to the commission. Rodríguez and Goldsmith did not respond to a request for comment, and Fredrickson declined to comment.
The idea for a commission came together amid the push by Republican senators to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in the weeks before the November election. Under intense pressure to consider reforms to the Supreme Court’s composition — including court expansion — Biden performed a classic Washington, D.C., punt. He announced in October that if he was elected, he would form such a commission to study structural changes. But Biden also conceded he is “not a fan of court packing.”
“The last thing we need to do is turn the Supreme Court into just a political football, whoever has the most votes gets whatever they want,” Biden said in a “60 Minutes” interview in October. “Presidents come and go. Supreme Court justices stay for generations.”
Progressive groups pushing for court expansion responded with skepticism to Biden’s announcement at the time. And they’ve remained skeptical to this day.
“Commissions are often places where ideas go to die and there is no time on the clock to reform the court,” said Aaron Belkin, the director of Take Back the Court, a progressive group advocating for adding seats to the Supreme Court. “The entire agenda of what needs to get done is in jeopardy thanks to stolen federal courts.”
“We know,” he added, “that court expansion is the only strategy to allow the administration to solve the problems facing the country.”
An administration official said the commission is part of a broader court review and reform effort, part of which will focus on lower courts.
Progressives’ push to expand the Supreme Court was reenergized after Democrats won both Georgia Senate runoff races in January, giving them control of the White House and Congress for the first time since 2010.
But any major structural reform would still be a heavy lift, as several Democratic senators have signaled their opposition to such measures. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday he was waiting for Biden’s commission to decide a path forward on reforms to the Supreme Court.
“President Biden has put together this commission to come up with a report in 180 days,” he said in an MSNBC interview this week. “We’re going to see what the commission says and go from there.”

Pablo Sarabia impressed by his young partner attack.
Already author of one goal and one assist during the first day of the League 1 in the face of Nimes (3-0), a game that he has made in the position of left winger, Kylian Mbappé has impressed her over to the right, the rookie Pablo Sarabia. This last was said in an interview with the Cadena Cope on the young French striker, who had impressed during his first training with PSG.
“I was very impressed in his first workout. I knew he was fast but not to this extent !”, blew the Spanish. “It is powerful and score a lot of goals. It is one of the best in the world. I was very surprised by his level and by the high ambition that it a. assumes the responsibilities he has within the team and is very strong mentally.”

Three in five working mothers would stay at home with their children if they could afford to, a poll suggests.
Women say financial fears are keeping them at work
Of those in work, only 12% said they wanted to pursue a challenging career while 60% said they were only back at work because of financial commitments.
Two fifths had sacrificed holidays or their own clothing needs to fund childcare, the study of 800 women for Prima Baby magazine found.
Since last April, parents have had the right to ask for more flexible working.
Some 17% of mothers had asked for the right to work flexibly since the law was changed, according to the survey, carried out in association with the Department for Trade and Industry's Work-Life Balance Campaign.
Another 37% intended to ask to work flexibly in the future, with 72% saying flexible working would influence their decision on whether to go back to work.
The new law also gave the right to paid paternity leave and half of new fathers had taken or planned to take advantage of this, the study found.
Prima Baby editor Julia Goodwin said: "Things have got better since the introduction of the new laws last April but there is still a long way to go.
"Too many mums feel forced back to work, because they can't afford to stay at home, or want to work reasonable or flexible hours, but can't afford the childcare."
Trade and Industry Secretary Patricia Hewitt said: "Balancing work and family life has always been incredibly difficult for parents, especially new mums.
"But the new rights we put in place last April offer parents more choice and support than ever before in getting the right balance for their families."
She said she was "especially pleased" new fathers were taking advantage of paid paternity leave.

Arriving fashionably late to the music game scene - like a real rockstar would - is Rocksmith
. Where Rocksmith stands out, as you may have heard, is that requires a real guitar to play. Any guitar using a standard 1/4 inch jack can plug in and play any of the game's 50 tracks
Detailed below in this new trailer are some of the game modes and gameplay mechanics. The creators of Rocksmith
are hoping the emphasis on educating gamers will help get copies off the shelves and into homes.
Also announced was that the game will support two-player local co-op. To rock out alongside your friends, you'll have to buy the Real Tone cable in stores. It wasn't detailed if the two players could play lead and rhythm segments of the game, or if they will play the same parts.
Rocksmith takes the stage on October 18th.

To The Editor: I would like to commend the Sheriff's Department for doing a superb job of patrolling the streets of Willow and Finley Cove for speeders. They have greatly reduced speeding on these roads.
It has now become safer to pull out of our driveways. If everyone obeyed the speed limit, there would be fewer accidents.
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Benedict

Different characteristics of different types of honey, such as: taste, color, aroma, healing properties, time and type of production, harvest area or even price, make each type of honey unique. The advantage of having information about different types of honey is buying honey more consciously and accurately. Also, testing different types of honey and understanding their differences will be an interesting adventure for honey lovers and enthusiasts.
Classification of types of honey
From different dimensions, types of honey can be classified:
- Plant type: There are different types of honey depending on the source of nectar and its related biochemical composition. For example, thyme, astragalus and eucalyptus honey.
- Single or multiple flowers: Honeys that are completely single-flowered are rarely found. For this reason, if a plant is more present in the honey harvest area than other plants, honey is called that plant. If in a region with several plants, one particular plant is not more than the others, usually the honey obtained is considered as several plants.
- Production / harvest time: Depending on the time of honey harvest in spring or autumn, honey is named in spring or autumn.
- Harvest area: Depending on the specific climate and vegetation of each region, the harvested honey will be different and therefore it will be named after that region. Like Lorestan honey, Khomein honey and Alpine honey!
- Color: Due to the differences in the constituents of each plant, the color of honey will sometimes have many differences. For example, thyme honey is red and citrus honey is pale yellow and clear.
- Flavor: The taste of honey is usually very different according to the nectar of the plants related to them. Everyone’s favorite taste is a matter of taste and you can find your favorite honey by testing different honeys.
- Nature: It is a common belief that all honeys have a warm nature. But this belief is not always true. For example, honey is cold and cold.
- Sucrose level: This is the main criterion for the naturalness of honey from the customers’ point of view. This means that the less sucrose the honey has, the more natural it is. Of course, this is true to some extent, but in no way can it replace honey testing in specialized food laboratories.
- Production type: In the production process, honey can be heated, pasteurized or filtered. It should be noted that the less honey is manipulated, the more it will retain its original properties. For example, filtering honey removes pollen from it.
- Ross / Non-Ross Honey: Almost all natural honeys crystallize (ros) after a while. An important point to note is that the use of too much heat in the production process causes the honey to never rise (although heat causes the loss of almost all the properties of honey).
- Honey with wax / without wax: In the honey market, it is offered in the form of wax, nectar and in combination. Some consumers prefer to buy honey with wax in order to buy natural and unprocessed honey. This belief may not always be true; Because both wax can be made from synthetic materials and honey.
- Artificial honey: Such honeys are made from a combination of various artificial sweeteners with essential oils and dyes, and it is often very difficult to determine whether they are artificial without laboratory analysis.
- Nutritional honey: In this type of honey, instead of feeding on nectar and plant pollen, bees feed on sugar and other sometimes artificial substances and produce honey.
- Price: Honeys are available in the market at very different prices. Although the price of a honey does not indicate its quality and naturalness, some types of honey, such as thyme honey, have a higher price due to lower production. Astragalus is the cheapest type of honey in Iran; Because astragalus vegetation is very high in Iran and most of the honeys produced in Iran have a base of astragalus honey.
- Health benefits: Honey of different plants, while having common properties such as general strengthening of the body and healing of superficial wounds, have unique properties in treatment. In the following, we will address this issue.
Properties and characteristics of different types of honey harvested from different plants
1. Types of honey produced in Iran

Buckwheat honey (especially Fagopyrum esculentum) has high antibacterial properties. A study on buckwheat honey showed that this honey was able to increase the antioxidant capacity of serum by 7%. This type of honey is dark in color and tastes a little spicy. It contains a lot of antioxidants and minerals and improves cough in children.
Buckwheat honey from Canada can kill Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other resistant pathogens.
Due to its antioxidant properties and abundance of various nutrients, buckwheat honey can protect your body and DNA against chemical or oxidative stress, even better than Manuka honey.
This type of honey is produced by bees that feed on the flowers of the New Zealand Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium). This honey contains high concentrations of methylglyoxal (MGO) and dihydroxyacetone, which may be the reason for its excellent antibacterial activity.
The use of manuka honey on wounds stimulates the formation of new blood cells and stimulates the growth of fibroblasts and epithelial cells. This honey has the potential to heal wounds.
Manuka honey is rich in vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6 and the amino acids lysine, proline, arginine and tyrosine. It also contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, potassium, zinc and sodium.

B.C. tourism jobs are expected to explode in the coming years with about 100,000 new positions to be filled by 2020, according to a report released Monday.
A labour study from go2, the industry’s human resource association, predicts about 44,000 jobs will be created through tourism growth over the next eight years. Another 57,000 positions are coming open due to retirements.
“After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” go2 CEO Arlene Keis said in a statement.
The provincial government, meanwhile, aims to expand tourism industry revenue growth by 5% annually until it hits $18 billion by 2016. The study estimates the new tourism jobs will account for 10% of the province’s overall job growth.
“Our government is committed to providing British Columbians with the skills training opportunities needed to fill the anticipated one million job openings in our province by 2020,” Tourism Minister Pat Bell said in a statement.
“We are working closely with industry partners like go2 to make sure that we are focusing government investments where they will have the most impact – like training workers for careers in the tourism industry."
The report predicts tourism will account for 300,000 jobs by 2020 — an increase of 17.3% since 2010. This represents an average annual growth of 1.6% — 0.2% higher than the overall provincial growth of 1.4%.
But the high demands for jobs means the province is ramping up recruitment strategies to draw in more workers. This includes career campaigns abroad and tapping under-represented talent pools such as youth, aboriginals, new immigrants, older workers and people with disabilities.
“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” Keis said. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one-in-four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

Endometriosis, sometimes shortened to “endo”, is a disorder in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (known as the endometrium) grows outside of the uterus. Most typically, it involves other reproductive organs including the ovaries and the fallopian tubes, as well as the tissue lining the pelvis. In rare cases, endometriosis can be found elsewhere in the body.
Signs and Symptoms of Endometriosis
The effects of endometriosis are typically most noticeable around the time of one’s menstrual period. The endometrial-like tissue acts the same as endometrial tissue would during a menstrual cycle, moving through the process of growth, thickening, breaking down, shedding, and bleeding.
Unlike the endometrial tissue lining the uterus, this tissue does not have a clear exit from the uterus to the vagina and stays trapped within the body instead. For this reason, the pain associated with endometriosis is typically linked with menstruation, coinciding with or worsening menstrual cramps. However, the pain can express at any point in one’s menstrual cycle. The trapped endometrial-like tissue can go on to cause irritations, cysts, scars, adhesions (wherein the trapped tissue binds other organs together), further pain, and infertility.
Pelvic and abdominal pain is therefore the most prevalent symptom of endometriosis. As a result it is often misdiagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or gastrointestinal problems. The severity and frequency of this pain can vary, and may fluctuate or increase over time.
The degree of pain is not a reliable determiner of the severity of one’s condition as pain is subjective and thresholds vary. Furthermore, someone with advanced endometriosis may not feel much while someone with a mild condition may experience extreme bouts of pain.
Other common signs and symptoms of endometriosis can include:
- Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
- Pain or bleeding during or after sex
- Pain with urination or bowel movements
- Excessive bleeding during periods
- Intermenstrual bleeding (bleeding between periods)
- Iregular bowel function (diarrhea or constipation)
Causes of Endometriosis
The cause of endometriosis remains uncertain. Some suggestions include retrograde menstruation – where the shed endometrial tissue somehow clogs the fallopian tubes and attaches somewhere in the abdomen, hormones influencing embryonic cells during puberty, circulatory systems transporting endometrial cells to other parts of the body, implantation during a procedure such as a C-section, or compromised immune function.
There is also a hereditary factor. People with endometriosis in their family are at an increased risk of developing endometriosis in their lifetime.
Treatment of Endometriosis
The best endometriosis treatment approach is determined with the help of a doctor and depends on the severity and advancement of the condition, as well as whether or not one is trying to get pregnant. Typically, doctors will suggest less invasive treatments and only opt for surgical treatment when the alternatives are not effective.
Endometriosis treatments can include:
- Oral contraceptives or hormonal IUD: by managing or stopping the menstrual period, it can reduce or eliminate the symptoms of endometriosis.
- Progestin: progestin inhibits estrogen and, with it, the growth of the endometrium.
- Danizol: a hormone derived from testosterone that can reduce endometriosis.
- Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (Lupron): injected hormones that stop the production of estrogen and progestin and relieve the symptoms and advancement of endometriosis.
- Aromatase inhibitors: medicines that reduce estrogen in the body.

EQS Group AG: Bundestag passes Whistleblower Protection Act / EQS Group welcomes improvementsEQS

Bundestag passes Whistleblower Protection Act / EQS Group welcomes improvements
Even better protection for whistleblowers: Anonymous communication must be made possible
Now whistleblowers in Germany will receive real legal certainty! In its final session of the year, the Bundestag passed the German Whistleblower Protection Act, thus implementing the EU Whistleblowing Directive (EU Directive 2019/1937). From the perspective of EQS Group, the market leader for whistleblowing systems in Europe, it is particularly pleasing that the law has been improved once again with regards to anonymous reports: Reporting channels must now accommodate anonymous tips or allow arrangements to enable anonymous communication with reporting persons. In the last government draft, only a recommendation (“shall deal with”) was made in this regard. Abandoning anonymous reports would have represented an incalculable risk for whistleblowers and companies.
“Although the Whistleblower Protection Act is a year late in its arrival, the time has been put to really good use. The scope of application is not limited to EU law, so whistleblowers also have legal certainty when reporting certain violations of national law. In addition, they do not have to fear repression as they can choose to remain anonymous if they wish – originally there was no obligation to follow up with whistleblowers who did not provide information on their identity”, says Achim Weick, founder and CEO of EQS Group, who sees the adopted Whistleblower Protection Act as an important step towards more integrity in business.
Companies, authorities and municipalities must set up reporting channels
For companies with 250 or more employees, public institutions and municipalities with 10,000 or more inhabitants, there is an urgent need for action. Among other things, they must set up a secure internal reporting channel that enables anonymous reporting and encrypted communication. Digital whistleblowing systems have established themselves as best practice over the last 20 years because only they can fulfil all the requirements for secure, anonymous and GRPR-compliant communication. Other reporting channels cannot guarantee all of this.
The importance of anonymous reports is also highlighted by the “Whistleblowing Report 2021”, an international study by the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden, which is also mentioned several times as a source in the government draft act of the German Whistleblower Protection Act. According to this report, every second whistleblowing complaint in 2020 was received in companies where the identity of the informant was not provided. Without protecting the identity of whistleblowers, many valuable reports would not reach companies or only with a considerable delay, exposing organisations to great risk.
Companies should proactively take the first steps
Another feature of the law is that priority has to be given to internal reporting channels. Therefore, companies are being called upon to create incentives for the use of internal reporting procedures.
“In our view, the most important incentive for this is an ethical and strong compliance culture. Clear, transparent communication of compliance processes and measures creates trust and promotes willingness to report internally, especially if this can be done anonymously and the persons reporting do not have to fear any steps under labour law”, says Marcus Sultzer, member of the board of directors of EQS Group AG, who recommends companies establish trustworthy internal channels as quickly as possible. If whistleblowers turn to the supervisory authorities, delicate processes, fines and reputational damage are often the result of external investigations.

Kanye West raises his sound on ‘Donda’
After months of teasers and fake album announcements, Kanye West released his 10th studio album on Sunday, “Donda,” titled after his mother.
There has been fan speculation as to who actually released “Donda”. West shared a Instagram post Sunday that said: “UNIVERSAL HAS PUT MY ALBUM WITHOUT MY APPROVAL AND THEY BLOCKED PRISON 2 FROM BEING ON THE ALBUM.” While some fans believe the West Universal Records label released this album without their approval, others believe it was just another marketing stunt from West himself.
Many fans also believe that “Donda” could have a similar rollout to her album “The Life Of Pablo”, where songs were added or remixed in the weeks following the initial release. âDondaâ, at the time of publication, was released as a clean project, censoring any explicit language throughout the album.
Regardless of what goes on behind the scenes, it’s clear that “Donda” is a masterpiece. This album contains 27 songs and lasts 1 hour and 48 minutes. A project of this length is bound to have a few hiccups, but when the album hits its peak, it hits them hard.
Following the intro, âDonda Chantâ, comes a catchy and long-awaited collaboration with Jay-Z, âJailâ. This song, like many others that follow it, is moving. It features a simple instrument with an electric guitar riff, letting the vocals of West and Jay-Z uplift the track.
After “God Breathed” and the awkward “Off The Grid” comes “Hurricane”, with The Weeknd and Lil Baby. The Weeknd’s angelic voice along with Lil Baby’s fiery verse makes it the perfect introduction to West’s revealing verse.
Two songs later, one of the most moving and beautiful tracks of the project appears: âJonahâ. This song begins with a witty-sounding chorus and verse from Vory and effectively progresses to a passionate verse from Lil Durk, where it evokes the loss of his brother.
While âJonahâ is an extremely moving track, the next three tracks show how difficult it is to make a 27 song album without dull moments. While none of these songs necessarily take away the positives from the project, they offer nothing conceptually new or unique.
âMoonâ was a track that had garnered attention prior to the album’s release as leaks were made on social media, and it didn’t disappoint. This track is ethereal and from another world, with celestial voices from Don Toliver and Kid Cudi. While this song doesn’t sound grand or anthemic on the surface, it does create a feeling of thrill with every listen.
After “Donda” and “Keep My Spirit Alive” comes the project’s most heartfelt and revealing track, “Jesus Lord”. West’s verse is vulnerable and raw, speaking of the struggles within his family and telling a beautiful and heart-wrenching story in the process. His verse is followed by a phenomenal verse by Jay Electronica and a touching outro by Larry Hoover Jr.
The most out of place and disappointing track on the project, especially considering how closely it follows West’s best song on the album, is “Tell The Vision.” This song features a monotonous piano instrument and a distorted, calm verse from the end of Pop Smoke that wouldn’t have found its place elsewhere on the album.
Later in the project, West and Roddy Ricch collaborate on an uplifting track with familiar gospel instrumentals and a moving Shenseea outro on “Pure Souls”. âCome to Lifeâ is another powerful track that presents West in its most revealing aspect, touching on his relationship with ex-wife Kim Kardashian-West and his hopes for a better future.
“No Child Left Behind”, with Vory, was another highly anticipated track before the release of “Donda”, and it exceeded expectations. It serves as the perfect ending to the album, celebrating the moving project before heading to some of the remix tracks.
The last four tracks serve as a remix of songs previously heard on the project. None of them remove the originals, but they certainly don’t improve the project in any way. “Jail pt 2” features a verse from DaBaby instead of Jay-Z, and “Jesus Lord pt 2” adds verses from Sheek Louch, Jadakiss and Styles P. Their respective verses serve their purpose, but they do not arrive to do it. match the energy of West and Jay Electronica.
“Donda”, although long and heavy, might just be the most needed project of the year. West’s spirituality and vulnerability shines through this project from start to finish, both through him and the feature films. This project consists of touching and heartbreaking pieces, with more than its fair share of uplifting and precious moments.
It’s fair to say that there is hardly any circumstance where you can enjoy every song on a 27-track album, but âDondaâ is perhaps the closest to ever having done. It’s a project that gets better with every listening. The sincerity throughout the project surpasses almost any weak spot it can have from a country mile.

Rarely do we we get to see such visual representation of reality from the mainstream medium of music as in the recent single released by Donald Glover a.k.a Childish Gambino – This is America.
The video has already been making news around the world with more than 50 million views in less than 3 days.
The Rolling Stones – “a vivid illustration of the Faustian bargain facing black America” The Guardian – “Childish Gambino captures the grim surrealism of being black in America”
The video primarily discusses gun violence, black community condition, and the blatant way we forget these problems through various vivid imageries. Other themes are also present in the video if looked more closely — biblical imageries, historical characters, acceptance of violence etc.
Some important moments:
After the first 50 seconds of the video, we are presented with Gambino pointing a gun at the masked man, standing conspicuously. This stand is referenced to Jim Crow, the character infamous for the depiction of African-American people by contemporary Caucasians actors in the 19th and 20th century. After the gunshot, Gambino looks at the camera and says “This is America” and gives away the Gun carefully whereas the body is left on the floor. This is to depict how guns are respected more than human beings in America.
“Jump Jim Crow” or “Jim Crow” is a song and dance from 1828 that was done in blackface by white minstrel performer Thomas Dartmouth “Daddy” Rice.
Gambino starts dancing with the kids, and in the background, a shootout is happening between police and people belonging to the black community. This depicts the endless instances of police brutality that members of the black community in America have experienced over the years. Also, the lyrics in the scene are theatrical and describes the exploitative use of guns by the black community owing to being sidelined in the American society.
Then he starts:
This is America (skrrt, skrrt, woo) Don’t catch you slippin’ up (ayy) Look at how I’m livin’ now Police be trippin’ now (woo) Yeah, this is America (woo, ayy) Guns in my area (word, my area) I got the strap (ayy, ayy) I gotta carry ’em Yeah, yeah, I’ma go into this (ugh) Yeah, yeah, this is guerilla (woo) Yeah, yeah, I’ma go get the bag Yeah, yeah, or I’ma get the pad Yeah, yeah, I’m so cold like yeah (yeah) I’m so dope like yeah (woo) We gon’ blow like yeah (straight up, uh)
This is one of the most dramatic scenes from the video which shows Gambino firing a machine gun that kills the choir in the background, which is a reference to the Charleston Church shooting in 2015. The scene shifts by Gambino saying “This is America” which sets the dystopian nature of the things to come.
Gambino is again seen dancing with the kids in a chaotic environment in the background, highlighting the way we tend to ignore problems or how we seem to normalize the abnormal in our society. The dance throughout the video seems like a conscious attempt to distract oneself from all that is simultaneously happening around us.
For more than 15 seconds, the music stops, and you see Gambino acting like holding a gun. There is a sense of realisation in this scene of how things are and a moment of silence presents it uniquely.
The end scene is Gambino running away from a group of people (police) that expresses the black condition in the American society with some provocative lyrics:
You just a Black man in this world You just a barcode, ayy You just a Black man in this world Drivin’ expensive foreigns, ayy You just a big dawg, yeah I kenneled him in the backyard No probably ain’t life to a dog For a big dog
The creativity of the video lies in the multitude of ideas at play, which is also evident from the fact that the video would offer multiple explanations to its viewers. The video echoes the raging issues of our time, and manages to connect with its viewer on an emotional level.
After watching the video multiple times, one can feel the sense of watching a piece of art moving in transition. One is reminded of Kant who thought about art:
“a kind of representation that is purposive in itself and, though without an end, nevertheless promotes the cultivation of the mental powers for sociable communication”
This is America serves as a medium of communication which describes the absurdity of the American nation and the plight of our time. It would be interesting to contemplate a similar depiction of the problems that India continues to face today. Depicting the various problems in our society – caste system, intolerance, political distractions, violence against women etc. This is America reminds us that tools of mass media continue to hold the ability to greatly impact the contemporary thought.
In a week that has had Kanye West declare that 400 years of slavery was a ‘choice’ and Ta-Nehisi Coates rebuking and putting him in the list of black people wanting ‘white freedom’ alongside Michael Jackson in The Atlantic, Donald Glover a.k.a ‘Childish Gambino’ stole all the thunder, with his surreal and grim depiction of what is actually like being black in the United States.

Name of creator(s): Fonmon Castle estate
Administrative/Biographical history: Fonmon was one of many castles built by the Normans to defend the land that they had conquered in the Vale of Glamorgan. The St John family of Fonmon Castle were obliged to sell the estate, which was bought in 1658 by the parliamentarian Colonel Philip Jones (1618-1674). After the Restoration in 1660, he held on to the acquisitions that he had made under the Commonwealth, and was succeeded by sons Sir John Jones and Oliver Jones. The family also acquired the Boverton estate in Glamorgan from the Seys family. Oliver Jones's son, Robert Jones (1682-1715) succeeded as a minor, as did his eldest son Robert Jones (1706-1742). His eldest son, another Robert Jones (d. 1793), lived beyond his means, resulting in much of the estate being mortgaged, and he spent his latter years on the continent, mainly in France, in refuge from his creditors. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert Jones (1773-1834, dsp) who was succeeded by his younger brother's eldest son, Robert Oliver Jones (1811-1886), who in 1853 married Sarah Elizabeth (d 1869), daughter of J. Bruce Pryce of Dyffryn, and sister of the first Lord Aberdare, and died without male issue. The estate was later acquired by the Boothby family of Ashbourne Hall, Derbyshire.
