Fall is when most people sign up for a CSA farm share for the next season. Not sure what I’m talking about?
Then, I’m glad you made your way over to this primer on farm shares and CSA or community support agriculture. My plan is to explain what CSA farm shares are, how you can find one to join and how my family benefited from belonging to one.
What is a CSA Farm Share
CSA stands for community supported agriculture. Some people refer to this as a CSA farm share.
Why a farm share? Because most CSAs are centered around a local farm near you.
In the nearly two decades that our family lived in the Philadelphia suburbs, we belonged to three different CSA farm share programs. Two were near us in New Jersey. The third was in Pennsylvania.
How does a CSA farm share work
Every person who joins a CSA is getting a membership at a local farm. It’s usually one-growing season long.
Then, this CSA membership is a “subscription” to a local organic farm. Usually this takes one of two forms.
On the one hand, with the CSA farm shares I joined, I was allowed a weekly pick of fresh, organically grown produce. Sometimes I was literally in the fields picking the vegetables I would take home.
At other times there was a barn where your weekly share was laid out. That is, you brought reusable bags and took a specific amount of produce.
Save this article and we’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, we’ll send you more great links each week.
There were limits. For example, if that week’s selections included purple potatoes, kale and just-picked watermelon, I might be limited to one watermelon, one bunch of kale and a pound of potatoes. (There was always a scale nearby.)
On the other hand there are CSA farm shares that deliver a farm box each week. This is usually at a centralized drop off or pick up location.
Why do people join a CSA farm share
According to Local Harvest, a website devoted to connecting people with organic and locally grown food, CSA farms are becoming increasingly available and popular to people who want to know where their food is being grown.
Fifteen years ago or so, there were only 50 such farms in the United States. Today, there are more than 1,000.
The map above, courtesy of Local Harvest, shows the concentration of CSA farms in places like the East Coast and the Upper Midwest. (Click here to visit Local Harvest’s search page for a CSA near you.)
If you’re unfamiliar with how a CSA works, here’s a brief primer.
How to join a CSA farm
For starters, though the CSA farm growing season begins in the spring, many people sign up for their share at the end of the previous growing season. That means the late fall.
It’s important to join a CSA in the fall. There are limited numbers of shares in the farm.
Therefore, when the spaces sell out, that’s it. You can’t join.
When you join, you’ll choose what kind of “share” you want. With our CSA farms, we usually joined with a half share.
How much does a CSA membership cost
A half share cost $400 and provided just enough produce for my family. However, it might be more economical for you to buy a full share and then split with friends.
For example, the first two CSAs we joined, we bought full shares. They were about $800.
However, we split them with one or two families. This worked out well for everyone involved.
How does a CSA work
You sign up in advance, you pay in advance, and the farm limits how many folks can join. This is probably to ensure that everyone gets their fair share of fruits and vegetables, and to manage crowd control on pick-up days.
While this fee covers the price of the fresh produce you’ll take home during the 20-week season, that money does much more for the farmer who owns and runs the CSA. It covers their production expenses, including seeds, water, equipment, labor and much more.
Since most CSA subscriptions sell out long before a single seed is sown, this guarantees a farmer a living wage for the crops to come.
Different kinds of CSA memberships
Some farms, though, expect that you’ll pay to join and volunteer as part of your membership. I’ve joined CSA farms that require volunteer hours. Also, I’ve joined farms that don’t.
Your volunteer time is spent in different ways. For example, one farm needed people to help with harvesting. So you earned your volunteer hours that way.
Another farm had a weekly newsletter. So, I volunteered to help write and edit the newsletter as part of my volunteer hours.
CSA subscription options
The farm I used to belong to gave you two subscription options. I could drive 25 minutes to the farm, where I was able to choose produce based on what had been harvested that week and what I thought my kids’ picky palate could handle.
Or, for an additional fee, I could pick up my box of produce at a satellite location near my house. I chose the former option, because I thought a weekly visit to the farm would be a good learning experience for my children.
It was. My daughters enjoyed walking in the fields amongst the eggplants, peppers and lettuce and then creating their own “salad bar” when they got home.
One week, they were able to pick their own raspberries and sunflowers. Some CSAs also offer fresh eggs, herbs and whatever else they “grow” on the farm.
Farm share delivery
As far as satellite locations go, these are also known as farm share delivery services. They are popular with city residents.
I know many people who are able to belong to a CSA despite their living miles away from an actual farm. Other CSAs allow for share pick-ups at a local farmer’s market.
CSA member events
Usually, in early spring, the CSA farm would hold a member event. This might be a tour of the gardens or a preview of the produce the farm will be growing that coming season.
Below is a picture I took at one such member event. Here, the farmer was showing us how they start their plants in greenhouses.

During his balanced budget presentation to the state’s Joint Budget Committee on Jan. 11, Gov. Asa Hutchinson proposed $841,000 funding for the University of Arkansas at Monticello’s College of Forestry, Agriculture and Natural Resources.
“We have $841,000 in the budget, which is a new item, for the UAM College of Forestry in Monticello,” Hutchinson said. “This investment will support the all-important timber industry in South Arkansas and help us to stay on the forefront of innovation in that important economic driver in our state.”
The proposed funding will support the Arkansas Center for Forest Business, housed in UAM’s College of Forestry, Agriculture and Natural Resources and directed by Matthew Pelkki. The center provides technical assistance for market-based solutions to forest resource challenges, programs for degree and post-baccalaureate education, and information on timber supply, forest products markets, and operational efficiency.
“When fully funded, the center anticipates hiring an additional three to four PhD-level technical experts in forest products marketing, forest finance and taxation, supply chain management, and global trade/policy,” Pelkki said. “The Arkansas Center for Forest Business will work cooperatively with state agencies (i.e., Department of Agriculture, Economic Development Commission), other universities (i.e., UA’s Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, UALR/UAF/ASU engineering programs), UAM’s School of Business, local economic development agencies, and importantly, existing forest landowners, loggers, mills and wood products consumers to advance and increase the markets and use of sustainably produced wood products.”

CONTACT: ROBERT ANDERSON, (608) 264-5158
MADISON, WIS. — John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Cornelius Stewart, 22, Madison, Wis., was sentenced yesterday by U.S. District Judge William Conley to two years in federal prison for passing counterfeit U.S. currency at numerous merchants in southern Wisconsin. Stewart pleaded guilty to this charge on November 21, 2016.
During January and February 2016, Stewart, along with four other co-defendants, traveled in groups to various cities from Baraboo to Janesville, passing counterfeit $100 bills at restaurants and merchants. The group would make small-dollar purchases for which they would present the fake $100 bills in order to receive a large amount of change in legitimate currency from the merchants.
The group was apprehended on February 23, 2016 by Janesville police officers during one such shopping spree, when they responded to merchant reports of the suspicious bills. Judge Conley noted that a term of imprisonment was especially warranted for Stewart because of his leadership role within the group, his previous state-level convictions for possessing and passing counterfeit currency, and his role in manufacturing the counterfeit bills. Stewart was also ordered to pay $7,500 in restitution to the victimized merchants.
Stewart’s co-defendants have all pleaded guilty to federal charges in this matter. They are Danesha Phillips, 23, Dominique Gaunichaux, 19, Marlo Phillips, 19, and Parish Barbary-Wheatherby, 21, all of Madison. Danesha Phillips and Marlo Phillips will be sentenced on March 21, Gaunichaux on April 6, and Barbary-Wheatherby on April 28. Danesha Phillips and Marlo Phillips are sister and brother.
The charges in this case were the result of an investigation conducted by the Madison, Baraboo, Stoughton, Verona, Oregon, Fitchburg, Lake Delton, and Janesville Police Departments, as well as the Sauk County and Rock County Sheriffs’ Offices, all in coordination with the U.S. Secret Service. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Anderson.


While Leicester chuck loan signing Stewart Campbell in at the deep end against Bath today, the West Country side have decided to throw their latest acquisition, Robbie Fleck, to the Tigers.
Fleck, fresh from completing his Currie Cup commitments with Super 12 side Stormers, hit English soil running, appearing at his first training session only a couple of hours after his flight landed on Wednesday. With four backs injured, it is little surprise that Bath have immediately selected the South African centre. As their director of rugby, Jack Rowell, explained: "To say that this is a timely arrival would be a huge understatement. We have five backs away at the World Cup and have a further injury fix with those who are here, so to have a player of Robbie's calibre coming into the side is a massive boost."
Meanwhile, Campbell, who won the last of his 18 Scotland caps in 1998, was snapped up from Leeds by an increasingly desperate-looking Leicester as cover for the second row earlier this week. The Leicester director of rugby, Dean Richards, said: "It's a tough time for us, but we always envisaged that. We're just disappointed that we've lost four on the trot. That's the most galling thing. Now we plan to break that sequence."
Richards has also reshuffled his back line, a move which sees the return of Ramiro Pez, who was surprisingly omitted from Italy's World Cup squad, at fly-half, with Austin Healey moving out to the wing to accommodate him.
Both sides will be confronted by a record crowd at the Recreation Ground, whose capacity has been increased from 8,200 to 9,980. The Premiership leaders have not beaten the Tigers in the competition since April 1999, a run of nine straight defeats. Both sides also lost last weekend, Bath's first of the current campaign, Leicester for an unprecedented fourth time on the trot. Nevertheless, as Bath's head coach, John Connolly, said: "Six out of seven is a tremendous start to the season."
There promises to be another hard-fought match at Northampton where Saints entertain second-placed Gloucester, who are rumbling into form with three consecutive wins behind them.
Saints' confidence will be high following their victory over Leicester at Welford Road last week - their second successive win in the Tigers' den. Consequently, the Northampton head coach, Wayne Smith, has made just one change, dropping Mark Tucker to the bench and bringing in Chris Hyndman.
The Cherry and Whites director of rugby, Nigel Melville, brings in Peter Buxton at No 8 for his first start of the current campaign as well as giving loose-head prop Nick Wood only his second start of the season.
Wood comes in for Paul Johnstone, who has been ruled out because of a shoulder injury picked up last week, while in the second row Adam Eustace gets a start with Mark Cornwell relegated to the bench.
Struggling Saracens have an awkward trip to bottom-placed Rotherham. The Titans have lost all seven of their matches so far, but are likely to regard their out-of-form visitors as ripe for the taking.
The Canada scrum-half, Morgan Williams, is expected to return from the World Cup in time to take his place on the Saracens' bench, where academy hooker 18-year-old Stuart Philpott also finds himself. Saracens have lost the services of their World Cup stop-gap centre Mark Bartholomeusz to a shoulder injury which will keep him on the sidelines for six weeks. Paul Bailey steps into the centre alongside the potent Ben Johnston.
Wasps' director of rugby, Warren Gatland, has named an unchanged team for the first time this season for tomorrow's match against Newcastle at High Wycombe. The only difference is on the bench where Rob Howley returns after missing out last week because of a back strain.

This evidence of Hunter-Gatherer-Baker shows that gluten may have been with us 4,000 years longer than previously thought.
Amaia Arranz-Otaegui is an archaeobotanist from the University of Copenhagen. She was collecting dinner leftovers of the Natufians, a hunter-gatherer tribe that lived in the area more than 14,000 years ago during the Epipaleolithic time — a period between the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras.
Natufians were hunters, which one could clearly tell from the bones of gazelles, sheep and hares that littered the cooking pit. But it turns out the Natufians were bakers, too –at a time well before scientists thought it was possible.
The established archaeological doctrine states that humans first began baking bread about 10,000 years ago. That was a pivotal time in our evolution. Humans gave up their nomadic way of life, settled down and began farming and growing cereals. Once they had various grains handy, they began milling them into flour and making bread. In other words, until now we thought that our ancestors were farmers first and bakers second. But Arranz-Otaegui’s breadcrumbs predate the advent of agriculture by at least 4,000 years. That means that our ancestors were bakers first —and learned to farm afterwards.
“Finding bread in this Epipaleolithic site was the last thing we expected!” says Arranz-Otaegui. “We used to think that the first bread appeared during the Neolithic times, when people started to cultivate cereal, but it now seems they learned to make bread earlier.”
As the team analyzed the crumbs further, they found out that the Natufians were sophisticated cooks. Their flour was made from two different types of ingredients — wild wheat called einkorn and the roots of club-rush tubers, a type of a flowering plant. That particular combination allowed them to make pliable elastic dough that could be pressed onto the walls of their fireplace pits, much like flatbreads are baked today in tandoori overs — and baked to perfection. Besides the einkorn and tubers, the team also found traces of barley and oats.
The Natufians may have had rather developed taste buds, too. They liked to toss some spices and condiments into their dishes, particularly mustard seeds. “We found a lot of wild mustard seeds, not in the bread but in the overall assemblage,” says Gonzalez Carretero.

Modeling and Control of a Three Phase Voltage Source Inverter with an LCL Filter by Aratrik Sarkar A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015
This thesis addresses the design and control of three phase inverters. Such inverters are used to produce three-phase sinusoidal voltages and currents from a DC source. They are critical for injecting power from renewable energy sources into the grid. This is especially true since many of these sources of energy are DC sources (e.g. solar photovoltaic) or need to be stored in DC batteries because they are intermittent (e.g. wind and solar). Two classes of inverters are examined in this thesis. A control-centric design procedure is presented for each class. The first class of inverters is simple in that they consist of three decoupled subsystems. Such inverters are characterized by no mutual inductance between the three phases. As such, no multivariable coupling is present and decentralized single-input single-output (SISO) control theory suffices to generate acceptable control designs. For this class of inverters several families of controllers are addressed in order to examine command following as well as input disturbance and noise attenuation specifications. The goal here is to illuminate fundamental tradeoffs. Such tradeoffs include an improvement in the in-band command following and output disturbance attenuation versus a deterioration in out-of-band noise attenuation. A fundamental deficiency associated with such inverters is their large size. This can be remedied by designing a smaller core. This naturally leads to the second class of inverters considered in this work. These inverters are characterized by significant mutual inductances and multivariable coupling. As such, SISO control theory is generally not adequate and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) theory becomes essential for controlling these inverters.

The Weather Review
August marked the transition to autumn, moving from warm and still conditions to being more unsettled as we entered September.
Temperatures were well above the seasonal norms across the UK, particularly in the first half of the month. High pressure over the continent kept skies clear and air still, allowing high solar generation. This presented risks for power and prices, with Scandinavian regions losing a lot of hydropower reserves in the heatwave, and French nuclear facilities having to limit generation due to cooling waters becoming too warm. The dry and static weather lead to thunderstorms in some parts of the UK.
The second half of the month was much cloudier with low solar radiation. A high incidence of large storms forming across the Atlantic caused spikes in rainfall. Fortunately, there were limited flooding issues in the UK, while more recently the USA has been hit by multiple tropical storms. The intense period of hot weather allows large low-pressure systems to form in the Atlantic and create cyclones – and we sometimes experience the aftermath of these in the UK. Even though cloudy skies reduced temperatures and brought windier days towards the end of August, the average temperature for the month was still above average, due to air masses moving in from the Mediterranean.
Looking to September, early estimations suggest somewhat of a replica of August. The first half of the month has been forecast to have settled conditions, with wind levels staying low. Dry and relatively warm weather is expected for the southern UK, with overnight mist common. This is caused by clear skies allowing the sun to heat surface air, with high pressure stopping it from rising. In the evening there are few clouds to trap the heat overnight, so the air condenses at ground level.
The second half should be blustery, with the Atlantic again expected to bring in low pressure from the west. High winds should mean a lot of wind generation late in the month.

Automotive Car The World’s Largest Market Opportunities at Indonesia
We all know that if road construction in remote areas might be fulfilled significantly, the buying power of those towards a car will also rise. Based on katadata.co.id, revenue in 2019 experienced an increase which was previously only around 1.1 million units increased to 1.3 million units that means there is an increase of approximately 200 thousand units per year, this is now strong evidence that Indonesia still has a huge opportunity for the automotive industry sector. The increasing number of cars has also had a positive impact on economic growth, as evidenced in 2019 to have increased because really the largest impact of the economic sector was also as a result of transportation facilities.

Automotive Car The World’s Largest Production Has Improved in Indonesia
The determining factor for the automotive marketplace to continue to reside in the regulation of the government that offers convenience for the automotive industry in upstream to downstream, regulations which ease the automotive industry also has a major effect on state revenues. As a more tangible form of service, the authorities must also think about developing infrastructure which supports the smooth freedom of the two exports – imports of goods and others. Collaboration between entrepreneurs or automotive manufacturers with the government is also needed to achieve common goals. According to Gaikindo, car sales from factories to dealers experienced an rise in the previous January-November 2018 that reached 1.06 units, up about 7% in the preceding year, which offered around 994 million units. Many Indonesian individuals turned out to prefer automobiles such as MPV since it was believed to be a daily activity, even from the revenue sector itself it increased to 35 percent that was subsequently followed by the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment to achieve 14% itself. Aside from the automobile type industry, gas is also a strong consideration for the majority of Indonesians, an erratic increase may divert their interest in having a car and could adversely affect the progress of the automotive industry. Luckily, the current cost of gas can still follow economic income by devoting many kinds of subsidized and premium fuels.
Speaking about the challenges of the automotive sector players you may need to know this is, first, human resources are quite restricted which means that not all Indonesians can build a vehicle with high security standards, so human assets that are true of fantastic quality are needed early on. Then the next, to increase people’s buying interest in automobiles, the producers must also think of the most recent innovations which aren’t boring and have advantages that directly impact customers. The role of the government is also required to face these challenges so the automotive industry still exists in Indonesia..
That is and thank you, hopefully, this article concerning Dealer Address Of Car The World’s Largest is useful for all of us.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have purchased and moved into a new family home in Santa Barbara, an affluent seaside city outside Los Angeles.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been living in Tyler Perry’s mansion in Meghan’s hometown Los Angeles, where they became quickly embroiled in a legal battle with paparazzi over illegal photos taken of their son Archie.
The couple “moved into their family home in July of this year” and have “settled into the quiet privacy of their community,” a spokesperson said in a statement to AFP, without confirming the new location.
They “hope that this will be respected for their neighbours, as well as for them as a family,” the spokesperson added.
According to People and Page Six, their new house is in Santa Barbara, a wealthy community 100 miles up the coast from Los Angeles which is also home to Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres.
This is where they want to bring Archie up, where they hope he can have as normal a life as possible,” an anonymous source told Page Six.
The source added: “Harry and Meghan never intended to make Los Angeles their home.”

The Spellbinding Evolution of Gentlemen Eccentric Dancers in the USA: Exposing the Skill of Temperation and Diversion
Be prepared to enter the scintillating world of gentlemen eccentric dancers in the United States as we embark on a intriguing journey through their mesmerizing history. These talented performers have enthralled audiences with their appeal, sexuality, and the capability to create unforgettable experiences. From the pioneering days of cabaret to the modern era of male revues, the story of male sensual dancers in the United States is a tale of empowerment, self-expression, and the quest of diversion.
The Emergence of Men Cabaret: From Vaudeville to Burlesque
The past of men unconventional dancers in the America can be traced back to the world of cabaret, vaudeville, and burlesque. In the initial 20th century, gentlemen performers graced the stages of cabaret clubs, bringing their allure, ability, and sensuality to captivated audiences.
During the vaudeville era, men dancers entertained with their electrifying dance moves, acrobatics, and comedic timing. They introduced an element of allure and sophistication to the stage, captivating spectators with their athleticism and appeal.
As burlesque gained popularity, male eccentric dancers became an essential part of the shows, performing alongside female burlesque queens. These male performers, known for their bewitching striptease acts and teasing performances, challenged traditional notions of masculinity and showcased the art of temperation.
The Rise of Men Revues: Enchanting Audiences with Charisma and Seductive Allure
In the mid-20th century, male revues emerged as a distinguished form of diversion, presenting a platform for gentlemen unconventional dancers to showcase their talents and sensuality. These revues, often featuring a collective of dancers, aimed to enthrall audiences with their charm, seductive allure, and exhilarating performances.
One of the most renowned men revues in the USA is the world-renowned Chippendales. Established in the late 1970s, Chippendales introduced a new era of male unconventional dancing, combining aspects of striptease, dance, and theater. The performers, known as “Chippendales dancers,” captivated audiences with their muscular physiques, faultless dance skills, and interactive shows.
Men revues like Thunder From Down Under and Magic Mike have also made noteworthy contributions to the world of men eccentric dancing.

VMware vSphere Distributed Switches centralize virtual switch management, creating structure and organization to help simplify network administration. VSphere Distributed Switches also offer users the capability to closely monitor and manage network traffic in order to assign adequate amounts of bandwidth to servers and optimize network use.
How is network traffic managed through vSphere Distributed Switches?
NIOC embraces the notion of bandwidth priority and allocation to establish quality of service (QoS) for network traffic. The idea is to represent bandwidth as a resource pool divided into 100 equal shares, like a percentage. Then, each major network traffic type -- such as vMotion, storage area networks, ordinary VM instance traffic, custom types and so on -- are identified and assigned some number of those shares. The portion of bandwidth assigned to each traffic type illustrates the relative importance of each traffic type -- and guarantees bandwidth for that traffic to maintain QoS.
NIOC prevents one type of traffic from overwhelming other traffic types and possibly affecting the performance of other traffic. For example, a vMotion event might demand significant bandwidth and reduce the performance of other VMs passing ordinary data across the network. But suppose, for example, vMotion traffic is assigned 10 shares, while VM traffic is given 50 shares under NIOC. This means vMotion traffic has a lower priority and will only receive limited bandwidth when other traffic is present. This not only guarantees minimum bandwidth, but enforces bandwidth limits. Remember, NIOC only affects outbound traffic leaving the ESXi host. NIOC is more meaningful when faster network infrastructures are available, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet or faster.
Part one: VSphere Distributed Switches add robust network features and aggregate VSphere Standard Switch deployments to simplify networking.
Part two: VSphere versions 5 and 6 bring powerful improvements to the VMware vSphere Distributed Switch for better network management.
Part three: Updating vDS to the latest version of vSphere is a nondisruptive process and can be accomplished without taking hosts or VMs offline.
Bidirectional traffic shaping is an additional configuration feature for inbound and outbound network traffic, which can be used in conjunction with NIOC. Shaping can be applied at the distributed virtual port and distributed virtual port group level, allowing more granular control of network traffic priorities based on average bandwidth, peak bandwidth and burst size.
However, traffic shaping must be configured with extreme caution. It is most beneficial when the physical or virtual switch infrastructure is oversubscribed -- or utilized beyond normal limits -- and the additional traffic shaping can help to prioritize or optimize network use, possibly helping to mitigate performance impairment from traffic competing for limited switch capacity. Networks with ample bandwidth and switch capacity can typically use NIOC alone.

Venezuelan Vice-President Nicolás Maduro expressed on Monday his gratitude to voters in the states of Zulia, Carabobo, Táchira, Nueva Esparta, Monagas, and Mérida for "breaking free" from "the bourgeois oppression" in the gubernatorial election held in Venezuela on Sunday. He added that the people "taught a lesson on awareness and determination to accompany (President Hugo) Chávez under any circumstances."
In the commemoration of the 182nd anniversary of the death of Simón Bolívar, the Liberator of Venezuela, the vice-president explained that parallel candidacies endangered the ruling party's victory. The leader urged Chávez's supporters to unite.

Now, Colin Kaepernick and his girlfriend, Nessa Dias, are sharing their thoughts on the matter, and they aren’t very positive.
Maroon 5 was announced as the headlining act, but they struggled to find other performers to support them on stage due to the NFL blacklisting Colin Kaepernick for his on-field protests.
In December, rumors came out that Scott, Big Boi and Cardi B were all reportedly in talks to perform at football’s biggest event. However, Cardi B turned down the performance in support of Kaepernick.
Alongside the announcement, Scott explained he agreed to perform at the halftime show in the condition that the NFL partner with him to make a $500,000 donation to the Dream Corps, a company that supports social justice efforts.
Scott and Kaepernick’s (dis)agreement
On Jan. 15, Variety reported Scott and Kaepernick discussed the rapper’s Super Bowl appearance on a phone conversation. That talk led to the Dream Corps deal.
“A source close to Scott said that while the two did not necessarily agree, they emerged from the conversation with mutual respect and understanding,” Variety writes.
However, today (Jan. 16), Kaepernick’s girlfriend, Nessa Dias, took to Twitter to deny that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback was OK with the show.
“There is NO mutual respect and there is NO understanding for anyone working against @Kaepernick7 PERIOD,” Dias wrote.
— NESSA (@nessnitty) January 16, 2019
Although Kaepernick himself didn’t write anything about the report, he shared Dias’ tweet. He also retweeted another tweet from from Hot 97 host Ebro Darden, who wrote “Kap did not approve this bullsh*t!”

Exploding the Canon: A Re-Examination of Wallace Thurman's Assault on the Harlem Renaissance
Walker, Daniel E., The Western Journal of Black Studies
Although Wallace Thurman is a well-recognized figure of the Harlem Renaissance, scholarly treatments of him tend to misinterpret his role in the period. Thurman's life is usually used as an example of the tragic end of the era or he is characterized as a bright, yet demonic, cynic who was devoured by his inability to live up to his own high expectations.(1) While there is validity in each of these portrayals, they both divert attention from Thurman's role as the ideological leader of the younger set of Renaissance artists. These depictions also minimize the effects his efforts had on developing unencumbered creative space for writers whose works fell outside of the proposed literary canon.
Many scholars misconstrue Thurman and his contributions to the Harlem Renaissance because they concentrate their inquiries on his characterization in Langston Hughes' autobiography The Big Sea. Hughes described Thurman as a "strangely brilliant black boy" who "wanted to be a great writer, but none of his own work ever made him happy" (234). To deal with his own shortcomings and depression Thurman, in Hughes view, "contented himself by writing a great deal for money ... drinking more and more gin, and then threatening to jump out of windows at people's parties and kill himself" (235). When coupled with Interne and Infants of the Spring, Thurman's two depressing last novels, Hughes' depiction highlights the cynicism and despair which were so much a part of the young genius' last years. But, if one looks closely at Wallace Thurman's creative production of the 1920's, the heart of the Harlem Renaissance, another image presents itself.
Prior to his arrival in New York, Thurman wrote a column called "Inklings" in a local Los Angeles newspaper. In an effort to jump start a Negro Renaissance on the West Coast he even published and personally financed a magazine, The Outlet, for almost half a year (Henderson 149). At this point in his life, he was not the depressed cynic so often alluded to in historical interpretations. Rather, he was a young man who was so impressed by Jean Toomer's Cane and the literary ferment of Harlem, that he dedicated his life to fulfilling the promise which these opportunities engendered. Simply heating that H.L. Menken, Fannie Hurst, and Carl Van Vecten were discussing literature with Black artists no older than himself caused him to get excited and "to feel inspired" (West 77-78).
Thurman came to Harlem on Labor Day 1925 in hopes of finding the "New Negro" (Henderson 147). Commenting on his arrival, he explained, "I lived out in Los Angeles ... and I heard about the `new negro' but I didn't see any signs of him on the Pacific Coast. I tried to be a movement all by myself ... Then I began to think about Harlem for that seemed to be the home of this `new negro' and soon after I graduated from the University of Southern California I came here" (Hicks 10). During his initial years in Harlem, Thurman was the epitome of youthful exuberance and idealism. His demeanor was that of an individual who felt an extreme level of optimism towards the opportunities and responsibilities which the Harlem Renaissance presented for young Black artists. As his good friend Dorothy West noted, "he wanted to get in on the ground floor and not get off the crowded lift until it banged the roof off and skyrocketed him ... to the stars" (77).
When Thurman did not find the creative space he had envisioned in Harlem, his idealism drove him to create it. On one side, he confronted a White literary community so consumed with sycophantic praise that it could neither distinguish quality art, nor adequately promote it. On the other, he faced a Black establishment which he saw as overly sensitive, elitist, and mired in the maintenance of a social hierarchy based on skin colon Given this context, a person exhibiting the pessimism and defeatism normally associated with Thurman would have simply packed his bags and gone back to his Post Office job in California. …

From Large Coal Chunks, Girard Breaker Cuts Anthracite Down to Size
By Christopher Hinz, Reading Eagle, Pa.
Nov. 26--It's not the prettiest sight on the horizon -- a boxy yellow structure rising 90-plus feet from a black and pitted landscape in the Schuylkill County mountains. But the anthracite processed by Girard Breaker makes possible power generation and steel making, and supports industries manufacturing everything from sewage-treatment plant filters and charcoal briquettes to boilers and stoves. "We're producing about 900 to 1,000 clean tons a shift," said Leonard Haspe, superintendent of the Butler Township breaker, or separation plant, near Girardville. Owned by Pottsville-based Reading Anthracite Co., the 11-acre facility ingests raw coal from the company's nine regional strip mines scattered throughout the northeastern Pennsylvania coal region -- the largest anthracite reserves in the country. The raw coal contains rocks and dirt, and some lumps are the size of a desk. A conveyor moves the material to the top of the breaker at which point gravity takes over. Crushers, magnetite-saturated water and shuddering platforms called vibrators erupt in a pounding cacophony as the raw coal drops through the breaker. Rock, dirt and other impurities are removed and the coal is cleaned and sorted into marketable sizes for truck pickup. Some loads are transferred to an adjacent rail yard for longer journeys. The noise level in the breaker is so high that plant workers are prohibited from being inside for more than about half of an eight-hour shift. However, the 1997-built plant is largely automated and the prohibition generally not an issue. "It's all modern, state-of-the-art technology," Haspe said. The breaker operates five days a week with a nine-person crew, one of whom monitors computers and surveillance cameras placed at key areas. The coal is shipped by rail, truck and barge to 44 states and eight countries, including Canada, Germany, Hungary, Mexico and Venezuela.-----

(Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it would decide as soon as Friday whether to allow sales of winter-grade gasoline into the spring and summer to help the fuel industry deal with a massive supply glut, after a source said several states already unilaterally waived the anti-smog requirements.
The decision would come as Washington seeks to limit the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak that has infected nearly a half a million people around the globe, decimated travel, and forced massive disruptions in daily life.
Oil industry groups had requested the so-called Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) waivers to continue selling winter blends past a May 1 cutoff as unused supplies since the pandemic broke out sits idle in tanks, terminals and pipelines.
The EPA sets the pressure requirements to reduce emissions that contribute to smog. As temperatures rise during the summer, standards shift to lower pressure gasoline.
Asked about the requests, EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a conference call with reporters on Thursday that the decision would come as “soon as tomorrow”.
An industry source familiar with the matter said that as many as 16 states had already issued waivers allowing sales of winter gasoline past May 1. The source, who asked not to be named discussing the matter, did not provide further details.
While the EPA sets the pressure requirements federally to reduce emissions, many states also have the power to individually regulate seasonal fuel standards.
Tomorrow’s EPA announcement is expected to address which states will receive waivers and for how long.

MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Would you describe what is meant by metagenomic sequencing?
Response: Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is the use of technology to generate millions of sequence reads to diagnose infection sin patients by characterizing the full range of potential pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) in a single sample. Although shown to be a promising diagnostic tool for infectious diseases in case reports and limited case series (Chiu and Miller Nature Reviews Genetics 20, 341-355 (2019)), to date the “real-life” utility of this approach for patient care has hitherto not been demonstrated. This study is the first prospective, multi-center study of clinical mNGS testing for the diagnosis of neurological infections in acutely ill hospitalized patients presenting with meningitis and/or encephalitis.

The Texas Rangers are investigating a possible bribery case involving the Denton County sheriff, a former political opponent of the sheriff and a former deputy.
The former deputy, Kevin Bragg, is currently serving as a Runaway Bay police officer.
Bragg is involved in a nearly four-year legal battle with the Denton County Sheriff’s Office. The case alleges wrongdoing by former sheriff Benny Parkey. Bragg also alleges he was wrongfully terminated after acting as a whistleblower.
In the new criminal investigation, court documents suggest the new sheriff, William Travis, offered Bragg a position with the department if he would drop the current civil suit.
An affidavit contained an email allegedly from Travis to Bragg indicating possible bribery.
“If you did file a suit and you wanted to come back to work at Denton County Sheriff’s Office, a couple of things need to be done. The lawsuit has to be dropped, and I have to see a judgment reflecting this by Nov. 5, 2012,” read the email.
The former political opponent is Jesse Flores, who ran against Travis in the Republican primary last May.
Travis allegedly told Flores he would give him a job in the sheriff’s department if he dropped out of the race, according to Bragg’s account in court documents.
Last year Travis won the election with 54 percent of the vote, while Parkey, the incumbent, took 35 percent. Flores came in a distant third with 11 percent.
Local Texas Ranger Jim Holland has led the investigation into the alleged bribery.
Travis told Holland that he made no job offer to Flores in exchange for dropping out of the race. He added that the communications with Bragg were a “misunderstanding.” Flores has also denied that Travis attempted to bribe him.
The case is still under investigation.

After spending the morning home as a family, we hit my moms house for a Christmas visit. We missed out on the "family event" last night because I had to work. My sister had cooked up a ham, a gazillion sides, and some kind of no-bake chocolate and cheesecake pie that she also had at Thanksgiving. My dad brought me a plate at work last night with two huge slabs of ham plus assorted extras and a huge slice of the pie. I ate a slab of the ham and most of the pie and saved the other hamslab for Rubi. Once we got over there today, there were leftovers that mom insisted we eat and take home. We had a very small amount of ham and Rubi and the kids all shared a single piece of that yummy pie (we were saving our appetites for lunch). After gifts and visiting and such, we headed to Rubi's parent's house.
Rubi's mom always has a great spread of delicious food for any kind of family get-together. Today was no different. Even before gifts and dinner, we visited over a smorgasbord of appetizers: rumake, baked ham, cheese cubes, crackers with cream cheese and some kind of pepper jelly, and shrimp with cocktail sauce. After visiting for awhile, we opened gifts, then had Christmas Dinner (lunch).
Rubi's mom made a delicious ham, a gazillion sides, plus home-made cheddar biscuits (that's new!), and her famous cookies for desert: oatmeal, snickerdoodles, and walnut chocolate chip. She also set out a desert platter with clementine segments, pineapple chunks, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and strawberries sprinkled with powdered sugar, plus mini-carrot cakes and mini pecan-tarts that Rubi's sister brought from work. Rubi's sister also supplied the ham that her mom prepared.
At my work, since about a week before Thanksgiving, we've been receiving gifts of food and snacks from various sources; it's nice that at least around this time of year some people recognize that we're at work 24/7/365 and can't always leave to get food. One former police officer delivered enough barbecue and sides to feed all of our employees and then some, and a former co-worker brought in a meat and cheese tray, two loafs of bread, and two bags of chips. We've received several large tins of popcorn, various chocolate things, tins of cookies (both homemade and store-bought), meat and cheese trays, fruit baskets, and assorted other sweet and salty snacks.
It's no wonder people gain weight over the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season.

HTC said on Wednesday its newest smartphones models had all passed a required U.S. Customs review, clearing device shipments to the country after they were previously delayed because of the inspection.
The Taiwanese smartphone vendor completed the review process with U.S. customs, and the devices were found to be in compliance with an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling, HTC said in a Taiwan Stock Exchange filing.
“Future shipments should continue to enter the U.S. and we are confident that we will soon be able to meet the demand for our products,” the company added.
Earlier this month, the Taiwanese smartphone vendor said its HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE devices would see delays in availability in the U.S. resulting from an ITC ruling in December that found the company to be in infringement of Apple patents.
As part of the ITC ruling, HTC was required to clear the import of its new devices through a required U.S. Customs inspection, to ensure the smartphones were not in violation of using the patented technology.
On May 20, HTC said that certain models of its smartphones had passed U.S. Customs, without specifying which devices, allowing for some of the company’s device shipments to reach carrier customers.
AT&T is selling the HTC One X, while Sprint is selling the HTC EVO 4G LTE.

The idea is to encourage women to give voice to their concerns, to assert themselves to achieve success and to stop getting in their own way by limiting or diminishing their capabilities. Women, she contends, need to sit at the table and not behind everyone else in the boardroom. They need to lean in, be unafraid of expressing ambition and enjoying success.
In contrast, Tami Simon, CEO of multimedia company Sounds True and a believer in discovering the inner life at work, argued on a recent NPR program (Krista Tippett’s On Being) that she needs to lean back. As the leader of an organization, she is all too aware of the strength of her voice and how in both articulation and body language, leaning back makes more space for others to lean in. It helps those who may traditionally take a quieter role in public settings find a place for themselves and their opinions.
What’s a girl to do?
The leaning in/leaning back dilemma is not really about gender. At heart, it’s about personality and passion. Leaders need to know when to lean in and when to lean back. Some of us in the presence of others do not know how to find a comfortable space to express a personal view so we just hold it in. Others feel too comfortable using all the available air space in a room, making it hard for others who are more hesitant. There is no one formula, but there are some aids from our own mystical tradition that can help us assess where we are and might want to be in any given setting.
Rabbi Dov Baer of Mezeritch (d. 1772), author of the Maggid Deverav L’Yakov where the quote above appears, was a disciple of the Ba’al Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement. He raised an inner circle of Hasidic disciples who then became masters and teachers themselves. Many famous legends developed around Dov Baer and his extraordinary piety. It appears that the key to his inner life lay in leaning back or contracting himself - tzimtzum - to make room for God: “Think of yourself as Ayin and forget yourself totally.” Ayin means nothing, but in true mystical tradition, nothingness is always on the way to somethingness. Everything that currently exists came from non-existence.
Human beings exist, of course, but in order to minimize the self to make room for the other, we often have to forget ourselves totally: forget our petty concerns, our ego needs, our desires for power and status. So often our relationships fail not because we are not present for those in our life but because we have too much presence.
Dov Baer continues: “If you think of yourself as something then God cannot clothe himself in you, for God is infinite. No vessel can contain God, unless you think of yourself as Ayin.” In mystical literature, Moses is often referred to as a “kli” - or vessel - of God. For a vessel to serve its purpose, it must always be filled and emptied, filled and emptied. If a vessel is full, it has no capacity to hold anything else. Moses emptied himself to make room for God. This process is not inherently about debasing oneself or being subservient. It is about building capacity. If you don’t have strong sides, you will never be an effective vessel. You will not be able to hold anything. Letting go of self-absorption is not an act of weakness but a testimony to your strength.
Wisdom will dictate when to lean in and when to lean back, when to fill the vessel of self and when to empty it.

National will scrap teacher registration fees and fund the Teaching Council directly, National’s Education spokesperson Nikki Kaye says.
Under the current proposal teacher registration costs are set to double from February 2021, which is unacceptable. The next couple of years is not the time to be increasing costs, instead we should be reducing costs as people deal with the economic crisis our country is facing.
“New Zealand has had long-standing teacher supply and retention issues. This is a small way that we can reduce costs for teachers and is one of a number of policies National intends to implement to reinforce the value of educators in our society,” Ms Kaye says.
“A National Government would get rid of teacher registration fees and instead pay the Teaching Council directly on an ongoing basis, which will initially be around $16 million a year.
“The Teaching Council would remain independent, with the only requirement to come with National’s proposed funding to be the scrapping of registration fees.
“Teachers play an incredibly important role in our communities. Throughout the lockdown teachers across the country showed their dedication and commitment to children by teaching from home. Educators were some of the heroes of the lockdown as they worked hard to ensure young people were learning and supported.
“New Zealand is facing a significant economic recovery and our education system and teachers will continue to play a crucial role in helping our country get through this. It’s important we reduce costs particularly when we are heading into a recession.
“This is just one of a number of policies National will be releasing to show how valuable we see teachers and the role they play in the development of our children.
“We’re focused on attracting and retaining teachers and ensuring they feel supported in their profession. Removing teacher registration fees is one way National will support our teachers.”

For some reason guys sometimes have a hard time parting with t-shirts. I don't get it, but hey, at least I can make quilts out of it! This guy I made the quilt for had some really funny shirts. I would giggle a little bit each time I worked on it. Knit material isn't ideal to work with, but the finishing product is pretty fun.
I asked M if she would knit a blessing dress for my new baby. M of course could never say no to her favorite sister. She made this beautiful dress for my baby to be blessed in and I love it!! M used lace on the bottom and also did smocking on the front bodice with pretty white beads. It turned out amazing.

It will surprise exactly no one that EVs are heavy — after all, batteries tend to have a lot of mass. However, it would seem the upcoming GMC Hummer is going to bend the scales at an incredible rate.
According to a GM fleet order guide for the American market, a 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 will have a curb weight of 9,046 lbs, or just over 4,100 kg.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
We’ll let that number sink in for a minute.
Know what else will probably sink in? The GMC Hummer itself, into just about any soft-surfaced off-road terrain. To put its mass in perspective, that same fleet order guide suggests a new diesel-powered GMC 3500 pickup truck tops out at 7,915 lbs before a smattering of options.
To be fair, there’s nothing lightweight about any electric vehicle, given all the gubbins required to produce a driving range and recharging time that’s acceptable to most customers. It’s also worth noting this information for the 2022 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 will have maximum approach and departure angles of 49.7 and 38.4 degrees, respectively.
EVs are so heavy Continental had to invent a new weight rating for its tires
Torque Converter: Deciphering the Hummer EV's claim of 11,500 lb-ft of twist
Those are, like its overall weight, massive numbers. We will note ground clearance is listed at 10.1, 11.9, and 15.9 inches in Standard, Terrain, and Extract modes. Also, its turning circle when deploying four-wheel steering is just 37.1 ft, less than the brand’s own Acadia SUV, which is a good two feet shorter in overall length. Power output ratings are still given as a GM-estimated 1,000 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque but as we know, numbers aren’t always what they seem.
In Canada, expect the six-figure Hummer EV to appear in the latter part of 2022.

Evaluate what type of terrain you will be in (Desert, Jungle, Woods, Rocks), what your most likely needs will be (digging for water, building a fire, making a shelter, cutting bandages, gathering food), your own physical strength (Don't buy a 5lb. Knife if you can't use it) and keep in mind the points discussed above. When you make your selection remember - Cheap is not a bargain when you need to survive. You do not get any ribbons for finishing second in a survival situation!
Published at Monday, July 30th 2018, 17:11:47 PM. Knives By Carmella Ratliff. Survival knives have many designs and sizes. There are long and heavy survival knives with a design similar to a machete. Some are still built based on the design of the Bowie knife, with a long strong blade. Still other survival knives are of a folding design for compact carrying. We will cover some of the designs and features commonly found on survival knives.

Published at Monday, July 30th 2018, 12:30:56 PM. Knives By Dena Burke. The blade on survival knives. As a rule of thumb you should avoid survival knives with a double cutting edged blade. This weakens the tip and also increases the risk of getting cut while performing tasks with survival knives. Some of these tasks may include cutting, slicing, prying, chopping or digging. Fixed blade survival knives should have a full length tang. This means the blade on survival knives should be a single piece of steel that runs all the way through the handle. The blade should be good quality steel that is strong and will also keep a sharp edge.
Published at Monday, July 30th 2018, 10:55:14 AM. Knives By Sue Turner. The most popular all purpose knife is the retractable or switch blade type. As the name implies, the blade retracts inside the handle so you can store it safely when not in use.
Published at Monday, July 30th 2018, 08:59:22 AM. Knives By Nina Wilder. Now, knives are made from metal. Some are really sophisticated which are composed of different alloys to achieve strength, durability, and superior sharpness.
