We grow a wide variety of sunflowers in a range of colors, from delicate butter yellow to rich velvety black. Favorite cultivars include Soraya, Ring of Fire, and Infrared.
Hands down the most richly colored summer flowers!
We have a sweet basil that is perfect for pesto, sauces, or just about anything. Our large leaves keep well in the refrigerator or in a small vase with water on the counter.
Chives are the smallest of the onion family and have the mildest flavor. They grow together in clumps, which is why they are always referred to in the plural, and have grass-like stalks with delicate lavendar flowers. Because they are so mild in flavor and have such lovely color, they are a perfect addition to spreads, herb butters and dips, or for a flavoring in vinegars. Even their flowers can be used as a slightly spicy garnish on soups and salads. Like many other herbs, chives are best used fresh, but also works well fozen or dried.
Both seed (coriander) and leaves (cilantro) are used in numerous cuisines from around the world. Often associated with Mexican dishes, this strong scented herb grows out with flat, toothed leaves for chopping into salsas and other preparations. The seeds are reputed to help reduce stress.
Beyond just a seasoning for pickles, dill has been used for its culinary and medicinal properties for centuries. Its history is illustrated by mentions in the Bible and ancient Egyptian writings, as well as records of Greek and Roman cultures favoring it as a sign of wealth. Dill has wispy, fern-like leaves that are soft and sweet. Its seeds, having their own unique taste, are also prized for their seasoning abilities. They are similar in taste to caraway, with an aromatic flavor that is sweet and citrusy, but also slightly bitter. Amazing in fish dishes and cool cucumber dips!
Classic flat leaf variety for use either fresh or dried as a garnish or seasoning. Flat and glossy leaves are toothed on the edges. Stems hold leaves upright for easy bunching. A very nutritious and tasty addition to meat or vegetable dishes, soups or even salads.
This is also known as butter crunch lettuce. With soft, sweet leaves this makes the perfect salad.
An intense red leaf lettuce with mild taste.
Our romaine is a crunchy mild leaf lettuce that is perfect for sandwiches, burgers or Caesar salads.
In the spring we have a wide selection of tomato transplants available at our farmstand - heirlooms and hybrids, cherries and slicers, red and yellow. There's something for everyone!
Green choy with great shape and uniformity. Dark green leaves are spoon shaped with wide, light-green midribs. Shanghai forms densely packed, vase-like heads averaging 5-6” tall. Plants can be spaced closely for ‘baby’ choy, which is in demand with top Asian chefs for its tenderness and mild flavor.
Deep burgundy leaves for salad mix.
Heirloom variety produces beautiful, dark red leaves to jazz up your salad mix even under low-light conditions. The foliage color intensifies as the plant matures. Striking, both baby and full size. Roots show attractive candy-striped zoning when sliced.
High sugars and great flavor! Farmers are saying this is one the best varieties they've tasted in over 20 years! An excellent choice for baby beets as well as main season production.
We grow primarily traditional red beets but enjoy making colorful bunches of rainbow beets for market. Favorite cultivars include Red Ace, Chioggia, and Touchstone Gold.
Goodman produces very well-protected heads with deep curds and tender florets. Ivory domes are well rounded and average 10” across.
A solid blend for your salad mix without the spice of our mesculin mix. Its base includes favorites such as Black Seeded Simpson, Parris Island, Rouge d’Hiver, Red and Green Salad Bowl, and Lolla Rossa.
Large, blocky, thick-walled stuffing pepper introduced by Burpee’s in 1928. Upright, everbearing habit keeps fruit high on 24-30” plants. Forms glossy, six oz. green fruit that turns red quickly under a range of conditions.
Carrots, Beets, Radish and Potatoes
Vigorous upright plants with dark glossy green leaves that are thick, twisted, crumpled, blistered and savoyed. Fine quality, very tender, excellent flavor.
An early vigorous bush zucchini with straight, smooth, 6-8" dark-green mottled fruits. Zucchinis are an excellent source of vitamin C. Dark green zucchini also have some beta carotene and all types provide small quantities of minerals. Skin colours range from almost black, dark green, pale green, pale green with grey, and yellow. The darker the squash, the more the nutrients.
Stems of many colors including gold, pink, orange, purple, red, and white ... with bright and pastel variations. Lightly savoyed, green or bronze leaves. The taste is milder than ordinary chard, with each color a bit different.
A reliable mild green. We grow bright lights, which has fun colorful stems. Try it sauteed with butter and garlic.
Our favorite Asian green. Can be harvested small for salad mix or as a large rosette. Beautiful, nutritious, tasty.
Perhaps our most popular product, the perfect summer snack. Sungold, SS 100, Brown Berry, and White Cherry provide a sweet mix of colors and flavors
A specialty turnip with beautiful golden color and delicate flavor. Our strain of Golden Globe is more tapered than globe shaped and has more of a carrot texture on the exterior skin. The quality and tenderness is best when harvested at 3”.
Fork out the squash pasta! I was mystified for some time as to where the spaghetti was when finally, someone told me it had to be baked or boiled before the fibers separated into long noodles, resembling spaghetti. A fun treat for the family with kid-friendly vegetable appeal. Oblong, medium-sized light yellow fruits have very sweet flesh.
Dark green on the outside with long, distinctive ridges, and golden yellow on the inside, Sweet REBA was bred by Cornell University to be sweet and very disease resistent during its growing season. Weighing in between 1.5-2 lbs, its fruits are just the right size to serve a small family without too much left over. Enjoy its buttery taste with sweet or savory ingredients. Also very nice pureed in soups or mashed as a side dish. Any way you choose, you will enjoy its velvety texture and sweet taste, as well as its health benefits. Acorn squashes are a good source of vitamin C, iron, fiber, and thiamin.
This Butternut squash variety is 1970 AAS winner bred in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is by far the most widely-grown butternut variety and considered a favorite because of its uniform growth and its sweet taste. Each squash is about 4-5 lbs with smooth, tan skin that is easily peeled with a potato peeler. The flesh is finely textured and dark orange. Enjoy it roasted, pureed into soups, or as an addition to your favorite casserole. It is sweet treat on a winter's day as well as a good source for fiber, vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, and potassium. It's an excellent source of vitamin A!

10 years in the making, this is your chance to support the first science-faction comic ever made. ARKS Issue Two is live on Kickstarter until May 6th.
Rory Collins, the author of the series, has some exciting news about his latest issue. Here’s what he has to say!
Science Faction? Annoyed or curious? Read on…
‘Good art should fill the space’; we all have one quote that haunts our lives. This is mine. At first, I took this to mean that the art should go up to the margins, but after toasting some grey matter I realized that it meant good art should fill the gaps. The empty space where nothing resides.
It was this idea that led me to write Arks.
I love sci-fi, but there is one giant gap in contemporary science fiction – interstellar travel. We solve it with light speed, wormholes, and stasis pods, but the simple reality is, that it is impossible. Reductio ad absurdum – the idea is so unbelievably complex that solving one problem creates multiple new absurd problems.
(We wrote several paragraphs here about the complexities of faster than light travel and had to remove it as it would destroy the article. Check it out for yourself).
I believe that this maritime view of space travel, traveling across the galaxy in space ships is a vestige of a different era, and that if we were to ever attempt to colonize planets beyond our solar system, we’ll do it in a way more akin to plant pollination.
Plant pollination?! Yes there is an idea that has existed since the 1970s, it’s called directed panspermia and it would allow us to travel to extrasolar planets and it involves technologies that already exist.
Hence, the science-faction tag.
ARKS will be the first pop culture story that explores this amazing and mind-bending gap in science fiction. It’s a beautiful new frontier with frightening ramifications for us and our descendants.

Campaigners say they will fight on against plans to 'move' their rural primary school after the Vale council moved to press ahead with it.
The ruling body of the Vale of Glamorgan council has approved plans to move Llancarfan Primary to a new £4million, 210-place building in nearby Rhoose - where hundreds of new homes are expected over the coming years.
The cabinet approved the publication of a statutory notice on the proposals - which will give people 28 days to object to the school move before a final decision is made.
Funding for the new building would have to be approved by Welsh Government.
But campaigners say they will continue the fight against the plans - which they say amounts to a 'closure' of their school and would ruin the ethos of the rural primary- and could launch a judicial review.
It comes after more than 1,000 people opposed the plans across two consultations - and views against the school move were expressed in a council scrutiny committee.
Campaigner Steve Parry described the consultations - and the council's response to them - as a "sham exercise".
Speaking after the meeting, he said: "We will take issue with the Welsh Government if they give them funding for the new school - they would be closing a designated rural school.
"This is not finished. We will challenge this."
The meeting heard that the current Llancarfan School, which would move in September 2021 under the plans, faces a budget cut of almost £100,000 in the next financial year based on projected pupil numbers.
Paula Ham, director of learning and skills at the council, said that redundancies are "almost inevitable" at Llancarfan School - but said should the proposals go ahead there would be "additional financial protection" for the school in the transitional period.
Councillor Gordon Kemp, the only cabinet member to vote against the plan, said the consultation report "might win a prize for creative fiction" for emphasising the positive feedback from people over the negative.
He said: "Most people in Llancarfan consider this to be a closure rather than a 'transfer.' It has been the intention of the education department to close this school for a number of years.
"We're starting to play with words here. We have to accept that this is going to be a closure of the school - a school that has been there since the 1870s will no longer be there.
"We have to take into account what people's views are."
The council has previously said the current Llancarfan Primary building is not fit for purpose, that the majority of pupils there come from outside the village, and moving the school to a new 210-place building in Rhoose was needed to cater for the growing number of pupils in the area.
A new 48-place part time nursery would also be provided at the new site.
Trevor Baker, Vale of Glamorgan Council's head of strategy, community learning and resources, told the meeting he was confident the two consultations had been meaningful and engaging with the community.
He said: "One of the reasons there was a second consultation was to produce additional information that was not in the first document. There was additional options which were brought forward in the consultation process.
"The consultation is a process of helping people understand the problems of the larger system and seeking their views. There were lots of opportunities for meaningful discussion.
"From an educational point of view this is looking to provide £4million capital investment, reducing the number of challenges for staff at the school and supporting them to be able to deliver the curriculum."
Mr Baker denied that the education of current pupils is being sacrificed to access funding.
He added: "The proposal and the alternatives considered consider a number of different challenges across the western Vale."
The meeting also heard that Llancarfan Primary - which is about to be the Vale's only designated rural school in a soon to be adopted Welsh Government code - would not be the only school in the area able to access funding for small and rural schools.
Using the money to expand Rhws Primary School was not considered an option due to building constraints there, the council said.

text: Many tumor cells, which under normal, healthy conditions would be recognized by the body’s T cells and thereby targeted for destruction, have developed ways to evade the host immune system by taking advantage of immune checkpoint pathways. Among the most promising approaches to activating therapeutic antitumor immunity is through the blockade of immune checkpoints. The programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint pathway is a negative regulator of T-cell immune function. When PD-1 is bound to programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), T cell response is suppressed. Inhibitors that block PD-1/PD-L1 complex formation lead to increased activation of T-cells and immune system functions, allowing the body’s immune system to identify and attack tumor cells. So far, several anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies have been developed to treat a variety of cancers, including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), metastatic melanoma and renal cancer. The promise of therapeutically exploiting this pathway has created a need for more robust, straight-forward assays to identify and qualify potential inhibitors which interrupt PD-1/PD-L1 binding. Find out how AlphaLISA® technology provides a simple, homogenous, straightforward method for detecting PD-1/PD-L1 binding.

Range of Motion Project (ROMP) Establishes Prosthetics Maker Labs with 3D Printers in Ecuador and Guatemela
Many of us who frequently follow 3D printing news would say that perhaps one of its most effective immediate medical applications is the ability to 3D print customized prosthetics and orthotics. And the ways to deliver these devices is becoming as innovative as the technology used to make them. One such example is Range of Motion Project (ROMP) — the brainchild of David Kruda, who is sensitive to the needs of amputees and other medical conditions because he had his left leg amputated as a child due to a congenital birth defect. As part of his prosthetics studies at the University of Illinois, Kruda began traveling to poor countries like Haiti and Ecuador, where he noticed a difference in people’s access to quality medical care. So he teamed up with his colleague, Eric Neufeld, and together they formed an organization that uses maker labs to 3D print prosthetic devices for underserved populations.
Since Kruda lost his leg at the early age of one year old, he is very familiar with the lifelong importance of well-fitted prostheses. Here he summarizes the idea behind ROMP:
“I started looking deeper into what goes on with people who, like me, had some sort of congenital defect, but they happened to be born somewhere else in the world. I found that there’s a good chance those people didn’t ever get access to the care I had growing up and it fascinated me that that could be a reality for so many people… I began to think that we could maybe do a little more than showing up somewhere for a week out of a year to volunteer. What if we really implemented some of our own ideas to see how this system could work for patients in less resource-rich countries?”
While ROMP’s first site was set up in Zacapa, Guatemala over a decade ago, it was in the Quito, Ecuador location that the organization began to experiment with 3D printing to make parts for some of their larger devices. One patient who has benefited tremendously from ROMP’s services is Kathy Pico, who had her leg amputated after suffering from ankle cancer. Since then, she runs marathons using a specially made device, which Pico explains has helped her continue to live life to its fullest:
“You have this idea that you will not be able to have a normal life after an amputation, but I saw David [Krupa] and it was a huge relief because he walked perfectly. I loved sports, watching people jog and walk, but I always had pain in my ankle preventing me from working out and dancing. With my leg, I decided I wanted to live and work, and to run and dance.”
Most impressive is that this very active woman has climbed 8 mountains using the device made by the ROMP team (which stands behind her in the below photo on Mt. Pasochoa, which has a summit of 13,780 ft). Pico also explained that she’s the only female amputee who runs footraces in Ecuador using her device.
While the ROMP team is already romping around several places in need of prosthetic services, they use an innovative care model that acknowledges the links between poverty, vulnerability, and disability. The team’s commitment to providing the best care possible uses “refurbished donated components, new components, and invented components” for its devices. Given the range of components ROMP uses, 3D printing complements the team’s care model, that is backed by medical and academic research partnerships, so the team can do the kind of work they feel is necessary to mitigate unnecessary hardships on a global level.

EXTENDING MARKET KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE TO STANDARDS EFFORT
Zixi, the industry leader for enabling dependable, live broadcast-quality video over unmanaged and managed IP, today announced product availability for the emerging Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) initiative being developed from members of the Video Services Forum. The VSF is an international association comprised of service providers, users and manufacturers dedicated to interoperability, quality metrics, and education for media networking technologies. Zixi, continuing a long history of advocating for and adopting open standards such as MPEG-DASH, MMT, SMPTE 2022-2 and 2022-7 (RTP), have called on over twelve years of experience delivering Emmy-winning, mission-critical solutions to prominent media companies, OEMs, and service providers, to be major contributors to the RIST Specification.
As an emerging standard in the early recommendation phase that – as it develops – will likely gain traction within the customer community, Zixi has been participating in RIST development, adding to the recommendation in order to assure future interoperability with new clients, customers, and Zixi’s more than 350 strong install base around the world. Zixi’s enhanced RIST does not interfere with the workgroup’s recommendations. Rather, Zixi RIST combines Forward Error Correction, re-transmission, and congestion avoidance, in an efficient way. Zixi RIST is slated to add many more features beyond the Zixi Broadcaster, TR 101 Network Analytics, Content Quality Analytics, hitless failover for over 99.999 reliability, network bonding, as well as the ubiquitous view and detailed reporting in Zixi’s ZEN Master monitoring tools.
“We have been engaging in many interoperability tests with all current members of the Video Services Forum working group,” said Uri Avni, founder and CTO, Zixi “The results are encouraging, and we will continue to support the initiative as it evolves.”

A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Save the Children Nigeria on Friday condemned the abduction of a number of college students in Kebbi, describing it as horrifying.
Save the Children’s Nigeria Country Director, Mercy Gichuhi said this in a statement in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria of Nigeria (NAN) reports armed attackers on Thursday abducted a number of students and killed a police officer at a college in Kebbi.
Gichuhi said that the safety and well-being of children remained the International NGO’s primary concern.
“Our hearts go out to the students and their families. We call for their immediate and unconditional release and safe return to their families.
“Places of learning should never be targets and children should never be abducted,” she said.
Gichuhi said that the act was a grave violation of children’s rights, and Save the Children was deeply concerned about the protection of children in the places that should be safest for them.
She said that just this week; children marked the “Day of the African Child’’ by calling on leaders to ensure their education and allow them to return to school safely, free from attacks.
Gichuhi added that even before COVID-19, many children across Nigeria and the continent were shut out of school due to violence.
“This attack is a grave reminder of how real this threat is.
“This is the third assault by armed gangs on a school or college in Nigeria in less than a month reportedly by bandits seeking ransom payments.
“Recurring attacks on schools in northern Nigeria is a grave violation of child rights.
“When will children stop being used as pawns in games played by adults? she asked.
Gichuhi said that in October this year, Nigeria would play host to the 4th International Conference on Safe Schools and it was one of the first African countries to have endorsed the Safe School Declaration.
She said that armed conflicts had been interrupting children’s education, a human right in Nigeria for nearly a decade.
The NGO country director said that Save the Children condemned the recurring killings of teachers, attacks on schools and the kidnapping of school children.
According to the country director, Save the Children is concerned that the already existing education inequalities in the country will be worsened if similar attacks are not stopped immediately.
“Now more than ever, we urge the Nigerian government to ensure that children have access to safe, quality and uninterrupted education at all levels,” she said.
This, she said was because all children have the right to attend school free from violence and fear. (NAN)

Amazon has several factors that influence delivering the right product to the right customer. While Amazon inventory management can add up to one factor in search results, there are many to consider.
From the high level, there are two options for inventory. The first is Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), where Amazon tells retailers where to ship products and then manages distribution at their execution location based on sales. The second is self-actualization, where the retailer manages its supply chain and services.
You can get the best information about manage inventory amazon via https://www.cin7.com/features/amazon-seller-vendor-fba/.
Image Source: Google
With Amazon's performance, the stock count is very accurate. However, some dealers prefer to manage their inventory through their distribution network, which we will discuss later. The challenge is to meet the expectations of Amazon Prime customers.
Amazon has done a fantastic job in its war on buyer conversion. Customers know that everything they want will be on their doorstep in two days. This is a hope that is difficult to fulfill.
While there is no penalty for low inventory ratings, customers are more likely to leave a bad review if the customer expects the product within two days and that takes two weeks. These negative reviews can be the anchor that keeps a good product at the top of the list.
Amazon allows brands to manage their inventory through their internal Amazon Inventory Management System.

Thousands of young Brits pack their backpack and head off on the plane to explore Australia each year.
Down under is one of the most popular destinations for gap year trips and group backpacking holidays – and many hope to stay for months at a time to experience the stunning beaches, cities and outback.
But, that costs money – and Australia isn’t cheap.
READ MORE: 'I avoided beaches because my body wasn't perfect – but now I proudly wear bikinis'
Luckily, many Brits are eligible to work in Australia under certain visas like the Working Holiday Visa which allows you to stay for 12 months in Australia while working.
Backpacker Lisa Bailey travelled from the UK to Aus in 2019 and recently posted a TikTok video sharing the best jobs she’d found while working in the enormous country, reports DailyMail.
In her time in Australia, Lisa found work as a campsite housekeeper for $26.50 an hour (£15.05), an “all-rounder” at a pub earning $27 an hour (£15.33) and $34 an hour (£19.31) as a fly-in, fly-out utility worker (FIFO).
She claimed the latter was the best job she’d bagged – it requires workers to fly into their work site before flying home at the end of their roster.
It’s essentially a way to get workers into remote areas of Australia without requiring them to fully relocate.
Lisa's video went viral with 129,000 views and hundreds of comments.
However, in another video Lisa did say she was often passed up for Australian workers.
The creator said: “Things employers have said to me as a backpacker in Australia.
“‘It's more important that Australian residents and international students get paid first’.”
In the comments of Lisa’s video, another FIFO worker chimed in: “I worked on Fraser (Island) and everyone was on $21 to $24 an hour and had to pay $240 for rent and food.
“Ten days on, 10 days off.”
That’s a payment of £11.90 to £13.65 an hour and a cost of £136 for rent and food.

The Covid pandemic and subsequent closing of Australian borders means there’s currently a labour shortage in the country as backpackers had to head elsewhere.
This means there’s plenty of casual work on farms and other remote locations for those who hope to travel.

Centre's neo-liberal policies imposing economic burden on people
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Thursday cautioned that the ‘Jail Bharo' protest held across the country marks only the beginning of such popular mobilisation and protest actions against the economic policies of the Manmohan Singh government.
“April 8, 2010 will go down in history as one of the biggest protest actions organised in recent memory. Tens of lakhs of people, at the call of the Left parties, participated in civil disobedience programmes all across the country. Lakhs were arrested as they deliberately violated the law angrily and militantly to protest against the neo-liberal economic policies of the UPA-2 government that were imposing unprecedented economic burdens on the vast mass of our people,” the CPI(M) noted editorially in its latest edition of party organ Peoples' Democracy.
It said the focus of the protests was against the unbridled rise in the prices of essential commodities which was eroding their livelihood. This came on top of the problems due to the impact of global recession leading to loss of a decent livelihood for a crore of people.
Among other things, the protesters demanded universalisation of the public distribution system; a ban on all speculative futures/forward trading in essential commodities; and release of excess buffer stock of rice and wheat lying in the Central government godowns. It said that as against the required norm of 200 lakh tonnes of buffer stock, the government was holding 474.65 lakh tonnes.
The demands also included a rollback in the prices of petroleum products announced in the budget and stringent action against black marketeers and hoarders. “Far from accepting these demands, the Central government has been brazenly defending its anti-people decisions and refusing to accept the growing misery of the vast mass of our people,” the editorial said.
Quoting estimates of the National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganised Sector that about 77 per cent of the population was living with wages below Rs.20 a day and the 2009 Forbes list that said the number of billionaires in India in had doubled to 52 with the combined net worth reaching $276 billion, the editorial said: “This is nothing but a resounding re-confirmation, if any such re-confirmation were ever necessary, that the neo-liberal trajectory is leading not merely to the creation but to the widening of the hiatus between the ‘shining' and the ‘suffering' India,” the editorial said, cautioning more such actions in future against this trajectory of economic reforms.

One Yard Short
Patriots 38, Bears 31 (final): Fitting end to a frenetic game, as Bears' Hail Mary is caught by Kevin White at the 1, but then the Patriots rally to keep him out of the end zone. Truly a game of inches. Not the Patriots' best, but they're on to Buffalo at 5-2.
— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) October 21, 2018
The Patriots came close to losing a heavy turnover battle against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. However, they pulled through with a win that now puts them at 5-2 on the year. This was without question a game of inches as Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky threw a bomb while pressured by LB Kyle Van Noy to WR Kevin White. If the Patriots secondary wasn’t prepared, the game would likely have been tied. But the game wasn’t all roses, the Patriots made multiple mistakes early in the first half.
Defense And Offense Had Turnovers
This was a theme of the day. The #Bears handing third downs to the #Patriots offense by not covering the underneath stuff. Good design here by McDaniels to flood CHI's zone by running Edelman at the defender. Creates a pocket for White. Easy first. pic.twitter.com/u8wCtISruN
— Evan Lazar (@ezlazar) October 23, 2018
The team had several key issues with turnovers on defense and special teams. First, was the kick return by WR Cordarrelle Patterson who had lost the ball and recovered by Chicago. Then, RB Sony Michel got a knee injury on his run that took him out of the game and turned the ball over to Chicago. (The tackle was made by LB Roquan Smith, Michel’s former George teammate)
These hurt the Patriots early in the game but in the second quarter, the Patriots recovered. Patterson made up for the first quarter blunder with a special teams touchdown. (score lead to the Patriots only trailing by 3) The reality was that both teams had issues. However, the Patriots defense gained two interceptions late in the second half that helped close out the game.
Major Injuries Avoided
MRI on Patriots’ RB Sony Michel revealed no structural damage, per source. Michel will be considered week to week, per source. Best-case scenario for Michel and Patriots.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 22, 2018
There were several injuries on the Patriots yesterday which included TE Rob Gronkowski not traveling with the team. But the most obvious one was rookie Sony Michel (whose injury officially puts the entire 2018 draft class out for the year with the exception of CB Keion Crossen). Michel had his leg get wrapped up and it forced him off the field. Luckily, the injury means Michel will not be forced into early retirement. There were already major concerns surrounding Michel’s injury history in college. In fact, it was why he wasn’t even considered a first round pick by NFL analysts during the 2018 draft.
As of now, Michel is likely out for the remainder of the 2018 season but his future is still intact for now. But for now, he is not been put on IR yet. The team will likely work out several free agents for the RB position as James White and Kenjon Barber. Michel will join Rex Burkhead and Jeremy Hill on IR likely by next week if the injury will be on a timetable.
Despite the setback, the Patriots will move forward into next week where they will travel to New Era Field to take on the 2-5 Buffalo Bills. Kickoff starts at 8:15 PM EST on ESPN network.

You’ve come to the end of your manuscript. Everything seems to be in place. All you need is proofreading for your manuscript to be ready. Are you sure now is the right time though? Most writers believe it is time to hire a proofreader when really they need something else.
This blog is here to help you know whether your manuscript is ready (or not) for the dreaded red pen.
Has Your Manuscript Been Edited?
Wait, what? I thought you were helping me understand when it’s time for proofreading?
Hold on, I am. Let me explain.
Editing is a broadly defined term. When it comes to writing, editing entails the following… content editing, line editing, and other associated specific sets of eyes (many fiction writers employ special sensitivity editors, for example). A content editor ensures the story is a tight, satisfying read.
The line editor makes sure the sentences and language flows together.
A proofreader comes along at the end. I mean, the very end. Their red pen is literally the last line of defense before publishing (or submitting) a typo-filled manuscript.
Have You Combed Through The Manuscript?
OK, let’s say your manuscript has been edited. Good for you. The story is tight, the characters work and the prose is clean.
Now for those testy typos.
But hold on, something for you to consider. Proofreaders usually work by the hour. That means, if you hand over a mess, you’re bound to pay more for it. Sure, that’s what a proofreader is there to do, but the cleaner your manuscript is going in, the easier job they’ll have.
Why do you want to make things easier?
Proofreading is tough. It takes a great amount of attention to detail. If you’ve got a professional scratching their head because you’ve confused there, their and they’re a dozen times, you could lose their valuable attention.
Every word processing program has a spelling and grammar check. Anyone can download a basic version of Grammarly for free. Employ the free tools you have access to in order to get the cleanest manuscript possible.
Your proofreader will thank you for it, I promise.
Proofreading Is Your Last Step
Releasing a book is a big step. Once you press the PUBLISH button, your words are out there.
I have met a number of authors, too many to tell the truth, who do the right thing. They write a good manuscript. They have their book professionally edited. Then last comes the proofreading.
But something else gets in the way. The publication jitters. On the brink of pressing that button (or sending it out, as the case may be) releasing the book to the world, they add new material. A new chapter. An introduction.
Something new comes into play. Don’t do this!
When you hire a proofreader, give them the entire manuscript. If you’re submitting your manuscript to publishers or agents, get them the full book. Self-publishers should include the forward, introduction, afterward, all of the front and back matter.
Why? Readers expect a professional-quality book, that’s why. If you fail to deliver that, they won’t be so forgiving to you when it comes to reviews.

A former Salvation Army hall converted into a unique house has sold for $4.25 million to a buyer who was reported to have inspected the property just 30 minutes before the Tuesday auction.
It was a new record price for a single-level house in Leichhardt and the latest in a string of sales where the vendors sold for well above what they tried (and failed) to get for their homes last year.
The house on Carlisle St with Zen-like gardens had gone to auction in October last year but failed to attract an offer close to the vendor’s $4.2 million expectations. The highest offer had been around the $3.8 million mark.
Selling agent Ben Southwell of Cobden and Hayson said the price guide and reserve for this week’s auction were set at $3.8 million based on the previous highest offer last year.
Mr Southwell said the hammer dropping at $450,000 over reserve showed the market had changed considerably since late last year. “It’s definitely gone up a lot,” he said.
Built in circa 1916, the former Salvation Army hall came with some rare features, including a 200-year-old front door from Argentina and a commercial kitchen.
The current owners undertook a renovation and extension of the property after acquiring it from the charity organisation 24 years ago in derelict condition.
Mr Southwell said the sellers did an incredible job ensuring the converted hall retained its original character.
“Everything has been done in such a way to ensure it takes nothing away from the hall,” he said.
Auctioneer Damien Cooley received an opening bid of $3 million. Seven parties registered for the auction and four raised their bidder cards to make an offer.
Mr Cooley said it was the ideal selling conditions to go to auction. “Any vendor selling off market right now is leaving money in the buyer’s pocket,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
Mr Southwell said the home attracted considerable interest from overseas, including The New York Times. It was also a talking point in the local community.
“People realised they were buying a piece of history. It was like buying a vintage car,” he said.
Sydney’s auction market has been firing on all cylinders this month, with price records breaking almost every week.
More from news
Research group CoreLogic reported there were nearly 1400 auctions last week and 89.1 per cent sold successfully under the hammer.
The high clearance rate was unusual for such a busy week of auctions.
The volume of sales was the highest in close to six years but normally a higher number of auctions activity has correlated with a drop in clearance rates.
Avenue Auctions director Andrew Cooley said it was different this year because most suburbs have a severe shortage of listings at a time when buyers were pouring into the market to capitalise on low interest rates.
This was putting pressure on buyers to offer prices well above what buyers were paying just a few months ago, he said.

The total reserves of stablecoins on exchanges reached ATH almost 20 billion dollars. What does CryptoQuant CEO say?
Stablecoins remain the most traded assets in the crypto market. Recent data from analyst firm CryptoQuant shows that more of those nearly $ 2 billion in tokens have recently been moved to exchanges. According to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, these huge deposits are in fact a bullish sign.
Ju he noted that most cryptocurrency trading platforms usually replenish reserves so that users can buy various coins, as traders prefer to purchase these assets using stablecoins rather than Fiat currencies. He added that exchanges sometimes hold large reserves of stablecoins to process users’ withdrawal requests during high market volatility.
People convert fiat money into cryptocurrencies
No matter what the reason for the rising tide, Ju believes that the high demand for stablecoins and their reserves on exchanges is bullish in the long run, as “fiat is converting to cryptocurrencies.”
Jua’s view of the growing use of stablecoins for cryptocurrency purchases correlates with what is happening in many countries around the world, as demand for fiat there is declining.
For example, people living in countries with unstable economies such as Argentina, Brazil and Nigeria are increasingly choosing to keep their savings in stablecoins covered by a stronger currency such as the US dollar to protect themselves from the imminent financial crisis.
In total, there are now almost $ 20 billion in stablecoins on the exchanges
After adding $ 1.7 billion to the existing volume of stablecoins on exchanges, the total volume across global cryptocurrency trading platforms reached a new all-time high (ATH) of $ 19.23 billion.
The inflow of stablecoins has increased by more than 500% since the beginning of the year. The massive year-on-year increase is probably due to the recent growing interest in cryptocurrencies.
USDT and USDC in the top ten largest coins
Meanwhile, the data show that the two largest stablecoins – Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) – are in the top ten rankings of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
While the USDT, which has a market capitalization of $ 65 billion, is in fifth place, the USDC is in eighth position with a market capitalization of $ 27 billion.


Michael Alexander speaks to retired detective turned violin expert Bob Beveridge about his ‘extraordinary’ new book which delves into some of the most notorious recesses of Scottish crime while recalling policing in days gone by.
Retired Scottish Crime Squad detective Bob Beveridge will never forget the day in 1962 that he reported for duty at police headquarters in Kirkcaldy – and had his first encounter with a dead body.
The duty sergeant told him and other recruits, that later that morning they would all go to the police mortuary, where at 11am a post mortem was to be held.
“In your police career you’ll have to deal with dead bodies, so now is the time to find out what it is all about,” the sergeant said.
Feeling nervous as they arrived at the door at the back of the police station, the recruits entered to discover the pathologist and his assistant towering over a large male corpse on the slab.
The body was that of an Edinburgh lawyer who, the previous Monday had failed to turn up at his office.
He had a holiday cottage in the East Neuk and went there most weekends.
Police officers visited the house and, getting no response, they forced entry and made a grim discovery.
The lawyer’s body lay on a bed and he was obviously dead. It seemed that he may have taken his own life.
“At the mortuary the corpse was quite bloated and swollen, and when the first incision was made, the smell was really quite bad, so bad in fact that all, including the pathologist and his assistant, made a hasty exit to the door for a gasp of fresh air,” Bob recalls.
“One poor recruit actually fainted at the ordeal. He decided not to hang around any longer when the post mortem resumed. I seem to recall that the cause of death was inhalation of poisonous weed killer.”
It was a taste of reality for Bob who, in the years that followed, attended more post mortems including those of three separate murder cases.
But 40 years after he left the police to collect and sell violins from his shop in Falkland, Bob has written a book in lockdown that looks back on his life and covers everything from his involvement in tragedies and murders to Royal Protection duty, the infamous Edinburgh brothel run by Nora Doyce in the New Town, policing in bygone days – and the £30,000 reward he never got!
“All cases I’ve written about I’ve been directly involved in when I was a member of the Scottish Crime Squad,” he says.
“I write about my involvement in the George Beattie murder case which was recently in the spotlight when Professor David Wilson, professor of criminology at Birmingham University, resurrected a lot of stuff about the case – stating that an innocent man was wrongly convicted in the Margaret McLaughlin murder.
“He mentions my name. But what he doesn’t have is the intimate details about the case in my book. I did a documentary with Jane Franchi for BBC TV about 25 years ago on that case.
“There’s a story about the famous brothel in Edinburgh which was of great interest to us in the Scottish Crime Squad.
“I also rubbed shoulders with several people who turned out to be some of the most notorious horrible killers – all true stories. Roddy McLean down in Leith who became the biggest drug dealer in the UK at one time. I used to go into his shop on a regular basis.
“Arthur Thompson who I met a few times – ‘The Godfather’ as he was known.
“I dealt with all these people in the course of my duties, but I also mention my knowledge on violins.
“I featured on the Antiques Roadshow as a ‘miscellaneous expert’ specialising in violins a few years ago. I jump from murders to other things.”
Raised in Kingskettle, Bob first became interested in violins as an 11-year-old when his family inherited a house containing old instruments including a cello.
His aunt played the piano and his dad was a member of Kettle Brass Band.
But Bob never learned to play the violin and his guitar playing abilities were cut short after he broke his finger in the Ben Nevis Race one year- an injury which he carries to this day.
Leaving school at 15, and working for a spell with J&G Innes at Edenside Works, Cupar, he joined Fife Police aged 19 in 1962.
While with Glenrothes CID, he investigated the ‘Unknown Bairn’ who was found dead on Tayport beach in May 1971 and dealt with many “harrowing and disturbing” murders after being seconded to the Scottish Crime Squad in Edinburgh.
It was the often grizzly nature of police work, however which, after 15 years persuaded him to cut short his secure police career.
The final straw came while working with Glasgow CID when he was called to the police mortuary to fingerprint three murder victims.
They had been stabbed, the second shot and the third had been kicked to death after a farewell party.
That grim scene, coming soon after Bob had to photograph the charred remains of three boys after a house fire, convinced him that working seven days a week sometimes nearly 24 hours a day was not for him or his family.
It was then, in 1977, that he decided to go back to his Fife roots where he set up his Violin Shop.
That’s not to say that in the years since, Bob’s often extraordinary encounters haven’t continued.
They range from the times he got to know legendary American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash and his daughter Rosanne Cash who were researching their Fife roots, to the day he found an unexploded Luftwaffe bomb during his daily run up the East Lomond and caused “panic” when he carried it down the hill to be made safe.
His shop front has been used for several scenes in the British-American TV drama Outlander, while he’s also received gifts from Russian visitors.
He was recently filmed playing guitar for the BBC Scotland documentary Brief Encounters. Filming took place on a return train journey between Ladybank and Edinburgh, then in his shop.
“There’s never been a dull moment!” he laughs.
Bob admits that some of the murder enquiries featured in the book, which has sold out its first print run, are “very controversial” by the standards existing today.
“Police work in bygone days was carried out in a way that could never be accepted in today’s society,” he smiles.
He also exposes the “dodgy world of fakes, forgeries and false valuations” in the antique trade.
However, he also recalls at least one story which had a happier, heart-warming, ending.
“When I was in Glenrothes,” he says, “I get a phone call from Aberdeen city police – ‘we have a warrant for a young guy who’s believed to be living rough in your area’.
“He’s got an Alsatian dog. I knew exactly who they were talking about. I nipped up in the van, got the two of them in the back of the van then went back to Glenrothes police station.
“Low and behold, at that time the police station closed for lunch. So I took the boy home – my wife made him his lunch. Made the dog it’s dinner as well!
“Aberdeen police came down. They had warrant for the man but no warrant for the dog. I kept that dog for 10 years! Can you imagine the police doing that nowadays?”
· Bob Beveridge’s book ‘An Extraordinary Autobiography’ is selling for £5 via an honesty box at Bob’s Violin Shop in Falkland.


The U.S. Forces Korea commander on Tuesday extended the off-base curfew on military personnel until further notice.
The new curfew begins Jan. 7 at 1 a.m. The hours of the curfew are from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. throughout the week. Previously, the curfew had been enforced from midnight until 5 a.m. on weekdays and from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. on weekends and public holidays.
The U.S. military introduced a curfew on its members on Oct. 7 following a series of serious crimes, including the rape of a high school student, carried out by service members.
“We must remain focused on our primary mission here, which is to deter against external aggression and if required, defend the Republic of Korea side-by-side with our ROK counterparts,” Gen. James Thurman, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, said in a statement.
“I anticipate and expect that our service members will continue to maintain the highest standards of individual readiness and professionalism while they serve in the Republic of Korea.”
The curfew applies to all U.S. service members stationed here, with the exception of those attached to the U.S. Embassy, Joint U.S. Military Affairs Group-Korea. Families of military personnel, Department of Defense contractors and civilian employs and their families are encouraged to adhere to the curfew, the U.S. Forces Korea said in a statement.

Alaska’s glacier-fed, braided Tanana River is home to some of the world’s highest-quality salmon fisheries, which have provided sustenance for humans for nearly 12,000 years. Like many Arctic rivers, however, the Tanana and its tributaries are transforming because of rising global temperatures. One prominent change in recent decades is a steady rise in Arctic rivers’ winter flow, which has long puzzled researchers because there is no commensurate increase in precipitation in the Tanana River watershed. Now, a new study suggests that melting glaciers may drive this increased flow by amplifying headwater runoff, the water that drains the mountain region, which is partly lost to the underlying aquifer. In turn, the aquifer feeds the Tanana River year-round. Increased aquifer recharge due to glacier-fed stream corridors may also degrade permafrost from below, further amplifying the seasonal aquifer storage capacity and therefore lowland winter flows.
Liljedahl et al. conducted their study on Jarvis Creek, one of the Tanana’s headwater streams. First, they obtained long-term meteorological records from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dating from 1947 to 2016, as well as more recent glacier mass balance, runoff, and groundwater levels for the watershed over time. The authors compared recent and historical glacier coverage maps of the area and found that glacier coverage in the Tanana River watershed had decreased by 12% during the 60-year period between 1950 and 2010. Glacier melt accounted for more than 15% of Jarvis Creek’s total annual streamflow, with roughly 46% of that water seeping into the ground and refilling the aquifer below as determined by runoff measurements located 55 kilometers apart. Interestingly, the size of the glacier cover was not linearly related to how much runoff it produces, the team found. In the nearby Phelan Creek, for example, which had 20 times more glacial coverage in its watershed than Jarvis Creek, the glaciers contributed about 47% of annual mean runoff. The nonlinear relationship between glacier cover and runoff has been noted in previous studies of watersheds in the Alps, but the drier Arctic climate may make this disconnect more significant.
Increased glacier-derived groundwater recharge via the headwater stream corridors could explain why winter flows are up in other glacierized Arctic rivers as well, according to the authors. A natural next step would be to explore the role of shrinking glaciers in other large Arctic glaciers. Understanding the role of mountain glaciers and long-term glacier loss is important because even small increases in freshwater runoff could affect sea ice growth, ocean circulation, river ice thinning, and the development of salmon eggs and embryos.

Smoking, vaping, and using other tobacco products can typically leave a bad smell. Most people know how bad tobacco and nicotine are for their physical health, but did you know that these products are bad for your oral health? Vaping, smoking cigarettes, and using other tobacco products can lead to increased dental health issues. Here we will discuss the links between smoking and oral health and how we can treat dental issues caused by smoking in Arlington Heights, IL.
Oral Health Problems Linked to Smoking
Smoking cigarettes, vaping, and using other tobacco products that contain nicotine can increase the risk of developing oral health issues. There are many common and serious dental problems linked to tobacco use:
Halitosis, or bad breath, can become a chronic problem for patients who use tobacco products. Patients who use nicotine or tobacco often experience dry mouth. Dry mouth occurs when there is not enough saliva in the mouth. As a result, patients with dry mouth can experience bad breath and are more at risk of dental infections. Drinking enough water and chewing sugar-free gum can help stimulate saliva production.
Nicotine easily yellows and stains the tooth enamel. The nicotine seeps through the small pores of the teeth, creating yellowed or darkened tooth enamel. We can provide professional teeth whitening treatment to brighten the smile and lift tooth stains. Whitening treatments essentially bleach the tooth enamel, removing spots or stains left by nicotine use.
Smoking leads to a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream. Because of this, smokers are more prone to problems like gum disease. Also known as periodontitis, gum disease is a bacterial infection marked by swollen, red, and bleeding gums. Over time, as gum disease progresses, patients can experience gum recession and loose teeth. Antibacterial rinses and deep cleanings can help keep gum disease at bay and benefit patients with chronic gum problems. While we typically recommend dental cleanings every six months, we can recommend a more frequent schedule as needed.
If you notice white or red patches in your mouth that won’t go away, chances are you have oral cancer. Heavy tobacco use is a risk factor for developing oral cancer. It is important to visit the dentist if you notice these patches so a dental professional can determine the best method of treatment. Oral cancer can require surgery or even radiation therapy.
Have you noticed changes in your smile due to tobacco use? Call AH Smiles for treatment today at (847) 230-9703. You may also schedule your next dental appointment with Dr. Brent Engelberg online. Dr. Engelberg will be happy to help you find the right oral health treatment to meet your needs.

Chess Piece (because I fail at titles)
Disclaimer: Narnia belongs to CS Lewis, and all dialogue between the Pevensies is lifted from Prince Caspian.
Notes: There's a minor bit of internalised sexism at one point, when Susan thinks that as a queen she was selfish for not giving birth to an heir. That does not reflect my views in any way.
Susan has just reached the well, leaning over to grasp the handle, when a small glint by her foot catches her eye. Frowning, she kneels and brushes aside the dirt and grass to pick the object up. It is an ornate, stylised golden horse with rubies for eyes – no, one ruby, the other seems to have fallen out. A chess-knight, she realises, rubbing dirt out of its indentations with her thumb.
The weight of the gold horse is strangely familiar in her hand, its ruby eye reflecting sunlight dazzlingly. She abruptly remembers the way it used to reflect the firelight in Edmund’s chambers as they played chess after a long day of diplomacy and administration, occasionally discussing particularly thorny issues over the board, with Peter or Lucy sometimes joining them and chiming in with their opinions on where she should move her bishop or how to deal with the centaurs’ requests. She remembers the other boards she had set up in the great hall sometimes, gently teaching fauns how to play it, laughing at how small the pieces seemed in a giant’s hands as he oh-so-carefully nudged his rook forwards.
The chess piece has a painstakingly carved bit and bridle, decorations flowing across the straps, and she remembers bridling and saddling her own dark mare, urging her into a gallop down the beach and laughing to feel the wind in her hair, guiding her through the trees while hunting. Susan turns slightly to stare at the beach again, and as magical as it had seemed when they had first arrived she realises now that the beach is too empty, too barren, devoid of the mermaids sitting on the rocks and combing out their hair and singing strange, entrancing songs. Her hands clench in the dirt.
This can’t be Narnia. It can’t be her Narnia. Cair Paravel wasn’t abandoned and in ruins, the forests and beaches weren’t eerily empty, surely other long-gone kings and queens in other lands had golden chess-pieces.
She forces herself to stand and walk back to her siblings, eyes still on the chess piece in her hand. Then she realises that her feet are taking her on an automatic, long-remembered route from the well to the great hall by themselves, that the ruins she’s passing are too familiar.
“Look,” she says quietly, and the others turn. “I found it by the well.” Peter takes it from her hand and Edmund and Lucy crane to see it. Lucy recognises it first. How can she still sound so cheerful?
“Cheer up, Su,” and she would laugh in Peter’s face if she wasn’t trying so hard not to cry.
"I can't help it," she says instead. "It brought back -- oh, such lovely times. And I remembered playing chess with fauns and good giants, and the mer-people singing in the sea, and my beautiful horse -- and -- and -- " She gives up, the pain and loss flooding back, and Peter turns away as she begins to cry.
She had half-forgotten, or had made herself forget, growing up in Narnia and spending her entire life devoted to it, ruling it, loving it. Growing from a frightened girl clinging to logic into a woman, a queen, surrounded by fauns and centaurs and Dryads and secure in the knowledge of Aslan’s blessing and her country’s love, turning down suitors from Archenland and Calormen and the Lone Islands because Narnia would always come first. Berating herself every day she was back in England for not having spoken up, for not insisting that they leave the White Stag alone and return to Cair Paravel. Waking up in the middle of the night remembering Narnian battles and unsure if she was still in England, still a child. Staring into the mirror searching for traces of the woman she had been in the wrong, too-small body she has been forced back into, that body shaking now with the force of sobs.
It had been so much easier to forget, to remember Narnia only as a dreamy game she had played with her siblings in the country to keep Lucy entertained. But the walls have crumbled and Susan mourns for everything she has lost, everything Narnia has lost, because they never got around to establishing a succession – perhaps she should have accepted a proposal, borne an heir, that should have been her duty to Narnia as its queen instead of treaties and councils and hunting, she had been so selfish – or finishing the outermost garrisons. They had gone hunting and abandoned Narnia, and her land has paid its price. How long has it been for Narnia? How had they managed without their monarchs and war leaders? Her home is in ruins, everyone she knew and loved is gone, and while Peter and Edmund and Lucy indulge in logical discussions about the layout of Cair Paravel and what could have happened, pointing out the remnants of siege catapults, she feels another stab of guilt and loss.
This might not be Cair Paravel; Professor Kirke had told her about the Wood between the Worlds, and they might be in another world with long-gone inhabitants who had similar taste in board games. Susan wants to hope that it isn’t Cair Paravel, doesn’t want it to be so, but she has always been logical and the evidence is stacking up. And even if they aren’t in Narnia, it doesn’t erase the fact that they were roughly pulled out of their lives in the world they had grown to love, or their loss.
Lucy reminds them of the treasure chamber’s location and Susan wipes her eyes roughly and gets to her feet, hoping that there is nothing but stone there, instead of the damning, crumbling wooden proof of their reign. She takes a deep breath, posture straightening.
They have returned home. And Narnia needs its Queen.
