text: Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.Foxtail millet is regarded as a native of China, it is one of the world's oldest cultivated crops. Known from the Yang-Shao culture period dating back about 5000 years. To Europe it came in Bronze Age. Foxtail millet was grown as a first crop on forest clearings. Foxtail millet ranks second in the total world production of millets and continues to have an important place in the world agriculture providing approximately six million tons of food to millions of people, mainly on poor or marginal soils in southern Europe and in temperate, subtropical and tropical Asia. It will grow in altitudes from sea level to 2000 m. It cannot tolerate water logging. Foxtail millet is fairly tolerant of drought; it can escape some droughts because of early maturity. Due to its quick growth, it can be grown as a short-term catch crop. It is adapted to a wide range of elevations, soils and temperatures. Its grain is used for human consumption and as feed for poultry and cage birds.

Sony Music Entertainment has inked a deal to distribute 35 previously released Prince albums, the label and the late musician’s estate said Wednesday.
Terms of the deal, coming 26 months after Prince’s death, were not disclosed — but sources pegged its value at $20 million to $30 million.
A new posthumous release from Prince, called Piano & A Microphone 1983, will be released on September 21st via Warner Bros. Records. The album is 35 minutes long and will feature nine tracks that Prince recorded to cassette at his home studio.
Newberg said Prince was committed to the book project and working with author Dan Piepenbring. Prince delivered about 50 handwritten manuscript pages before his death. Newberg said the long-awaited book is expected to be published just in time for the holiday season and may include reproductions of Prince’s longhand pages.
In the year after Prince’s death on April 21, 2016, the Purple One’s catalog of albums and songs have sold a combined 7.7 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music, through the week ending April 13. Of that sum, 2.3 million were in traditional album sales, and 5.4 million were from digital song downloads.
The bulk of his album and songs sales occurred in the month after his death: 5.65 million were registered between April 21 and May 19, 2016.
Incredibly, for the full year of 2016, Prince sold more albums than any other artist — even Adele — with 2.23 million copies sold. (Adele sold 2.21 million albums last year.)
The Purple One’s Warner Music catalog, including the albums “Purple Rain,” “1999” and “Sign O’ the Times,” will be available Feb. 12 on subscription-streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Napster and iHeartRadio …
As expected, the Universal Music Group has announced a multi-year agreement with Prince’s estate and NPG Records, granting the major label group exclusive licensing rights to much of the late artist’s catalog of released and unreleased works. Much of the material dates from the latter part of Prince’s career, after he parted ways with Warner Bros. Records in 1996.
A likely scenario would see a TV commercial air during the Grammy broadcast following the tribute, which would announce that certain songs are immediately available on Spotify, Apple Music and possibly other services. The source tells Billboard that publishers, performing rights organizations and at least one label have been alerted to an impending deal.
He was a legend, a virtuoso, one of the true gods of music. But he was also (at times, anyway) a person in the world like anyone else. He liked to send goofy Internet memes to his friends. He made really good scrambled eggs. He rode his bike a lot, went to the hardware store, called old friends late at night. Chris Heath spoke with band members, fellow artists, and Paisley Park veterans about the life and times of Prince Rogers Nelson—the real Prince, the man so few people got to know before he was gone.

The ringleader of a group that bashed a convicted murderer in jail was motivated by what he had heard about the man's crime, a Hunter court has been told.
Richard Exton - one of three men charged with attacking Carly McBride's murderer Sayle Kenneth Newson in the maximum security wing of Cessnock Correctional Centre in June 2021 - was sentenced to a 15-month prison term when he faced Cessnock Local Court on Wednesday.
It came after he pleaded guilty in December to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm while in company.
But an "extremely strong subjective case" and a risk of Exton being institutionalised led Magistrate Ian Rodgers to set a one-month non-parole period, which meant he was eligible for release on Wednesday afternoon.
The balance of his sentence will expire in April 2025.
The attack took place four days after Newson was found guilty of murdering Ms McBride. The jury found that Newson struck the 31-year-old mother-of-two to the head several times before he dumped her body near a quiet stretch of road outside Scone in September 2014.
Magistrate Rodgers found beyond reasonable doubt that Exton was the member of the trio who smashed a plastic kettle on Newson's face inside the second-floor cell of the maximum security wing.
Exton's solicitor argued that his client did not strike Newson with the kettle and, given that all except what happened inside the cell was recorded on CCTV, it could not be concluded for sure what took place out of the camera's view.
The CCTV footage showed Exton and his two co-offenders - Christopher Dale Williams and Denham Hedges - enter Newson's cell and shut the door for a short time before all four, including an injured Newson, exited and a fight broke out on the walkway. Exton was carrying a broken kettle when he left the cell.
The footage showed Exton punch Newson, who suffered several facial fractures, several times.
Magistrate Rodgers said it was an "almost inescapable inference" that Exton hit Newson with the kettle.
He said it was not up to Exton to "extract punishment" for details he had heard about other offenders' crimes.
"It's clearly an extremely serious example of an assault charge within a custodial setting," he said.
"Violence in jail must be dealt with in a highly deterrent fashion."
But he said Exton's background and the risk of him being institutionalised mean special circumstances needed to be taken into account when sentencing him.
Hedges and Williams were previously sentenced to Intensive Correction Orders for nine and 15 months respectively.

American recording artist Gryffin, real name Dan Griffith has continued to demonstrate his unique ability and stunning quality over the years. His uplifting emotional dance sounds found across singles such as ‘Feel Good’ and ‘Tie Me Down’ captured audiences around the world. Along the way, he has found a dedicated community of fans that have helped him accumulate hundreds of millions of streams and now they get to see the extent and culmination of his talent with his debut album ‘Gravity’.
Since debuting with “Heading Home” a short three years ago, his emotionally charged sounds have seen him grace radio waves, the biggest festival stages and clubs around the globe. Leaning on his emotional electronic vocal successes, ‘Gravity’ doubles down for the win. The star power and talent shines bright in the LP and will surely assist in its success. Whilst the album certainly appeals to the mass with catchy pop fuelled vocals, there is also an undeniable dance edge throughout – presenting both Gryffin and electronic music fans with a very satisfying package.
While only five of the sixteen-track album tracks are brand new productions, among them we have some true musical gems such as “Need Your Love” with Seven Lions featuring Noah Kahan, “Out Of My Mind” with ZOHARA, “Nothing Like You” with DROELOE featuring HANA and personal favourite “If I Left The World” Featuring MARINA and Model Child.
The album includes previously released singles such as ‘Tie Me Down’ as well as his collaborations with SLANDER, Ivy Adara, in addition to his 2019 singles “OMG” with Carly Rae Jepsen, “Hurt People” with Aloe Blacc, “All You Need To Know” with Calle Lehman, “Baggage” with AlunaGeorge and Gorgon City and the final single “Body Back” featuring Maia Wright.
‘Gravity’ is a cohesive and interconnected listening experience that embodies Gryffins unique electronic flavour. While there was arguably some room for further sonic experimentation, there has been a unique approach with his collaborators to push the boundaries of their individual sounds. Each of the songs on Gravity is of the highest quality and it will no doubt be on repeat for many listeners.
“Gravity” is available now via Darkroom/Geffen Records, see the players below to listen on Spotify and Apple Music

A 27-year-old man has been arrested after a mother and her daughter were stabbed to death at their home in Golders Green.
Police were called to a house in Golders Green Crescent on Friday night and found two women, aged 33 and 66, who appeared to have been stabbed to death.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: “Both women were pronounced dead at the scene.”
“While we await formal identification, officers are confident that they know the identity of the victims and that they are mother and daughter.”
Joshua Cohen was arrested in Golders Hill Park on Saturday afternoon when a member of the public alerted police following a media appeal.
Mr Cohen is believed to be the son of the founder of Beigel Bake in Brick Lane, east London.
His mother and sister are being named locally as Leah and Hannah.
His sister Hannah is understood to have studied psychology at City University London and was a former pupil of Carmel College, Wallingford.
Detective Inspector Ian Lott said: “A discerning member of the public alerted police to a real time sighting and officers moved quickly to detain and arrest the man wanted for questioning shortly before 14:00hrs.
"This was a devastating attack on two women in their homes. Our investigation is ongoing."
Mr Cohen, who detectives said has mental health issues and suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, lost his father in December.
The dad died aged 81, having arrived in the UK from Israel in the 1960s.
He founded his bagel business which is a popular and well known destination for partygoers in east London, due to it being open 24 hours a day.
A 44-year-old neighbour told the Telegraph he was "shocked and upset by what has happened.
"I know Josh from being about. Sometimes we'd be outside and smoke a cigarette together."
The neighbour said the family was very private.
"I knew them to say hello to but not well.
"His mum was disabled, mentally and physically and she had a lot of help at the house.
"I've spoken to Josh and sat on the wall and had a cigarette with him - it was that type of relationship.
"I last saw Josh on Friday night when I was coming back from Sainsbury's. He crossing the road.
"He was wearing a big red hooded fleece with a logo on it and grey tracksuit bottoms and was heading towards the tube station."
The Met said it would not confirm the identities of the victims until formal identification and post mortem examinations had been carried out.
But police are confident they know the identify of the victims.
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Rose described the incident as "horrific" and assured the local community that police were increasing security in the area.
He said: "High visibility foot patrols have been stepped up in the area and police will be on hand to listen and respond to community concerns. We will continue to work with the CST and keep them fully updated with significant developments. "

John grant atlanta dating Live asian chat without regitration
Grant Park is the 12th most affordable part of Atlanta we looked at, with a modest median home value of 4,931.
Amenities aren’t as convenient or plentiful here as in Poncey-Highland, earning this neighborhood a 16th place berth in that category.
The relative lack of amenities actually located in Oakland City brought it down a bit, placing 21st in terms of convenience with just 90 stores, restaurants, and other options within one mile of neighborhood center.
Dating back to the late 1800s, Inman Park offers a mixture of affordable family homes and multi-million-dollar houses.
Don’t let the name fool you—while it was at one point its own city, this neighborhood has since been absorbed by Atlanta proper.
Of all the neighborhoods in our top 10, Oakland City has the lowest median home value, ,652, and is the fourth most affordable overall based on the median household income of residents.
It may be very affordable, but that comes at a price: amenities.
Ormewood Park ranked 20th out of 32 for the number of options within one mile, including favorites such as Morelli’s Gourmet Ice Cream and Gunshow (a great eatery, not what the name suggests). The Sandtown area of Atlanta was the most affordable we found, with the second-lowest median home value at 6,814.
It ranks third overall for the number of amenities within one mile—no surprise to anyone who’s seen the myriad shopping and entertainment options it has to offer, from Mary Mac’s Tea Room to the Vortex.
Everyone wants to get the best value for their money, no matter what they’re buying. What you probably wouldn’t expect is that this neighborhood is actually surprisingly affordable (you pretty much have to be in the market for a condo, however) and safe.
This is especially true when it comes to the single biggest financial decision in most people’s lives: buying a home. In terms of the former, the ratio of median household income (,650 annually) to median home value (9,188) is in the middle of the pack, while its low number of crimes compared to many other neighborhoods in Atlanta makes it one of the safest we looked at.
Morningside-Lenox Park is safer than Grant Park (tied for first versus 13th), but also slightly less affordable—19th overall.
The median home value here is the second-highest in our top 10 at 1,562.

Q. If a person retires on Dec. 31, 2011, and starts drawing Social Security as of Jan. 1, 2012, at age 64, would there be an offset if the amount of the final payout exceeded the Social Security benefits for the year (2012)?
A: Probably not, because of what the Social Security Administration calls “the first year rule.” That rule applies to earnings for one year, usually the first year of retirement. It allows SSA to pay a full Social Security check for any whole month in which it considers you to be retired and when your earnings from wages or self employment are $1,180 or less.

CORPORATE LANGUAGE SOLUTION
Processing large amounts of data in multiple formats
Multilingual voice recordings, texts and documents are processed to generate a single documental database that can be searched using NLP to extract the relevant information constituting the facts of a legal process.
As part of the proceedings of a legal case, the contents of personal computers, voice recorders and printed texts are stored.
The transcribed language resources were the equivalent of 350 times the complete works of Shakespeare. Finding the needles in the multilingual haystack required an automated solution.
The Corporate Language Solution is built up with different neural networks in charge of processing speech and text. The processes involve:
Transcription, speech to text conversion.
Translation, generating monolingual (English) versions of all language resources.
Sentiment Analysis, detecting the positive/negative relevance of text excerpts.
Summarization, paragraph abstraction into short sentences
Indexing, locating and referencing entities (people, organizations, dates, locations, money amounts, key words) in the batch of documents.
Categorization, ranging and sorting documents according to class, category and relevance.
How does it work?
The Corporate Solution runs in 2-3 servers at the customer premises. No interaction with external third parties is needed, and the information is contained at the customer Data Center.
Multiformat resources are loaded in the input area and the firstprocess transcribes resources into single format text:
◦ Images / Raster files are OCRed
◦ Speech is transcribed and actors are detected and referenced
◦ PDF, Word and PowerPoint formats are all converted to plain text files.
Language Detection and Translation: The language at paragraph level is detected, and if it is not English the text is sent through a neural network specifically designed to translate from the source language into English
Specific neural networks receive the monolingual input and produce records with the relevant results (sentiment, importance, referenced entities…) and a graph-model that can later be used to find references in the raw data.
Support services are in charge of managing the collaborative workflow by pipelining the data to and from neural networks and distributing the load to efficiently leverage the hardware and software resources.
Sometimes there’s simply too much data and there’s no way the relevant information can be found using traditional resources.
Cost and delivery time are both strong reasons to consider an automated analysis of language resources.
We like Pangeanic's work ethos and professionalism. They actively listen to their clients - and that helps them be the best every day to provide tailored language solutions. From my point of view, that's one of their greatest qualities
Pangeanic makes the translation process easy... And they provide a friendly, fast translation service. Creating a database for all our translations was particularly useful so we could recycle translations and re-use content in other occasions and/or similar jobs.
The quality is excellent as usual. The source has been changed many times during the translation. Pangeanic was quick to respond to the changes and it was helpful.

HARVEYS LAKE — At a special meeting Tuesday, Borough Council went into executive session to discuss whether to continue negotiations to purchase the old Villa Roma restaurant before voting 5-1 to continue with the process.
Council President Michell’e Boice voted against the motion. Councilman Thomas Kehler was not in attendance for the meeting.
Borough Solicitor Thomas O’Connor said that no contract has been signed between the borough and the seller, and that negotiations are continuing.
The building would house the police department and all municipal departments.
The seller presented council with a counter offer.
Boice said she is not completely against the plans for the Villa Roma; she just thought it is in the best interest of the community to further investigate the costs associated with the purchase. Boice said she didn’t feel council should make such a costly move so quickly.
Councilman Daniel Blaine said Harveys Lake has “never had its own borough building.” Blaine said that if the potential plans for the borough building become a reality, once the old police department is sold, the money from the sale can be used for the new building.
During a past council meeting, resident Rob Weaver said he felt the borough should either leave the police station and offices where they are, consider a modular construction plan or bring in a design specialist and review blue prints for a new construction process.
Weaver questioned the Villa Roma site’s age, saying that the structure is “over 70 years old” and asked what will happen to it in 10 years. Weaver also said “If it’s not broke, why fix it?”
During that same meeting, Mike Dziak, a former Zoning Committee member, CEO of Earth Conservancy and longtime Harveys Lake resident, spoke out against the proposed purchase, saying that since the “property has been dormant for over a decade” there are great concerns that it would “meet the requirements.”
Dziak also questioned the amount of money needed for fees such as engineering costs.
Councilman Bill Hilburt said the potential purchase is “a good idea for the future of Harveys Lake.”
He said Villa Roma is in a “good location” and he liked the idea that all of the municipal offices and police station would be combined in one building.

Museum officials announce Snooty the manatee drowned
Snooty drowned, South Florida Museum officials said Monday -- a horrifying conclusion, based on a necropsy, to a series of discoveries that started a day earlier before someone at the museum called 911.
In a 911 call made from the museum at 9:35 a.m. Sunday, the caller began with, “We have a problem.”
The caller asked 911 for the Bradenton Fire Department, saying, “We have an issue in our tank, which Snooty the manatee is (in). ... We’re draining our tank right now. I want a fire engine to show up. We have a stuck manatee kind of situation or something where I need someone to help extract the manatee.”
According to Jeff Rodgers, museum chief operating officer, Snooty somehow gained access to the life support maintenance tube, a feat that has left staff bewildered considering the entrance is 30 by 30 inches and Snooty was 89 inches in girth. Rodgers said the panel on the tube was last opened five years ago and is for emergency use only.
A necropsy found that Snooty drowned, Rodgers said.
While the U.S. Department of Agriculture is the regulatory agency that inspects facilities with captured wildlife, the USDA is not involved in what museum officials say is a “review process.” USDA did inspect the aquarium last month and there were no citations issued.
Museum CEO Brynne Anne Besio said everything is being done to determine the details of how Snooty gained access to the tube, but she could not estimate when those results would be released. Rodgers said the latch coming open remains a mystery and “something happened,” but she could not elaborate at this time. Rodgers said divers inspect the tank, built in 1993, and the latches on a daily basis, and, “There were no issues with that panel whatsoever.”
Rodgers said museum staff members are grateful for the outpouring of community love and support.
“No one wants to understand what happened here more than we do,” Rodgers said.
Divers returned to the tank Monday to ensure the safety of the three manatees currently undergoing rehabilitation.
“We have a 68-year history of caring for manatees, 33 in the past 19 years and we’ve had no major issues, or injuries of any kind,” Rodgers said.
The museum will open for regular business Tuesday and Rodgers said a memorial service is being planned in the coming days. Besio said Snooty’s annual birthday bash also will continue to honor Snooty’s legacy and all he has done to help understand and rehabilitate his fellow manatees.
Rodgers also said no decisions have yet been made on what will happen to the remains of Snooty, and officials will work diligently on creating a memorial to Snooty on museum grounds. Besio said she very much wants public input as that process moves forward.
In a press release issued later Monday, Rodgers stated that the panel Snooty accessed was located just under the 4-foot ledge where Snooty was often hand fed. Somehow, Snooty, who weighed about 1,300 pounds, was able to swim through the access but was unable turn around to swim out.
“Snooty was just too large for that to happen,” the release states.
Besio went on to say, “We are heartsick about Snooty’s death and want his legacy to continue through our manatee rehabilitation program and through all of our education and outreach programs.”
The following is the transcript from the 911 call from the South Florida Museum Sunday morning at 9:35 a.m.
CALLER: We have a problem. We have manatees over here, we need the fire department to come and tell us what to do.
911: As far as… what in the museum?
CALLER: We have a tank issue with our tank…. Where we maintain manatees and I’m going to need some help.
911: Sure let me give you the Bradenton Fire Department, hold on one moment
(Transfer to Bradenton Fire)
911 Operator: Bradenton 911 what is the address of your emergency?
911: Hey, I’ve got South Florida Museum on the phone, 201 10th Street West, they’re going need some assistance from the fire department.
911 Operator: Ok. Hello Caller?
CALLER: Yes, my name’s (inaudible).
911 Operator: OK and what was your name
911 Operator: OK Jack, what’s going on there?
CALLER: We have an issue in our tank which Snooty the manatee is (in). We’re draining our tank right now. I want a fire engine to show up. We have a stuck manatee kind of situation or something where I need someone to help us extract the manatee.
911: Okay gotcha, all right, we’ll get our fire department over there as quick as possible.


text: Lord of the Flies is an incredible work of fiction, opening with a group of children stranded on an island after a plane crash. Over the course of a couple weeks, they learn how to govern themselves without any adult supervision, but they soon realize that totalitarian rule is a goal for one of the boys fighting for leadership. The novel really puts into perspective how easily mankind can fall back into chaos after thousands of years of building a sustainable society. One thing I really like about this book is how the story builds slowly but still captivates the reader. Also, Lord of the Flies holds an important message for the readers who think that complete control over the people is an ethical way to govern society. I think this book is good for kids 15+ because it is written in a more mature English style which can be a little hard to interpret. It also has quite a bit of violence and gore.

I’ve always found it odd that movies get the greenlight for sequels before the first movie arrives in the theaters. Of course with the amount of money a studio sinks into a potential franchise, it’s always better to lock up the sequels early before the actors get too old or too busy with other projects to return to the property.
The early buzz about Thor has been very positive, so it comes as no surprise to learn that both Thor and Captain America have been given the go ahead to do another film.
“Thor will go off into a new adventure,” says (Marvel Studios President Kevnin) Feige, “and Captain America will continue to explore the modern world in another film of his own. We hope that holds true for the characters appearing in that film — Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the spy organization, S.H.I.E.L.D. — all of whom are more than worthy and capable of carrying their own films. And, we’ve got a lot of other characters we’re prepping and getting ready for film debuts: the world of martial arts, these great cosmic space fantasies, Dr. Strange, and the magic side of the Marvel Universe. There are many, many stories to be mined.”
The other properties mentioned could make it to the big screen, but I think this is where box office numbers will do more in getting those movies made than early hype and Internet site commentary.

They still teach the basics: alphabet, sounds and numbers. "But children who are excelling, we don't hold them back. So you can have a four year old who is ready."

|Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool
|Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Secretariat)
The NAM News Network (NNN) is a news agency established by countries of the Non-Aligned Movement to disseminate news which are not prejudicial to the third-world countries.
It was established at the initiative of Malaysia, but in concurrence with the decision taken by the Sixth Conference of Ministers of Information of Non-Aligned Countries (COMINAC VI) hosted in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in November 2005. The agency was created after the earlier network, Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP), fell into disuse in the mid-1990s.
NAM News Network's stated mission is to promote information and news from a developing country perspective and to be "a valuable alternative for the Western news dominance", essentially revitalizing Non-Aligned Movement's original intention with NANAP but now equipped with the technology of Internet. It was also set up as a working platform and central hub for accredited news organizations within NAM countries to publish and reuse content.
According to the agency's website, "the NNN sees itself as an alternative source of information rather than being in competition with other major news services. Essentially it would serve as a conduit for NAM member countries to tell their story and use it as a yet another tool of communication for them."
The agency's secretariat is located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The national news agency Bernama serves as NNN's coordinating body.

Jordan Thompson comes back into welcome contention for Stoke City this weekend after going through concussion protocol.
The Northern Ireland midfielder took a crack on his head in the second half of last Saturday's high octane clash with Brentford and didn't remember too much of the closing stages as Stoke held out for a 3-2 win.
Stoke physios brought him back in for tests the following day and he was ruled out of a trip to Swansea on Tuesday, which meant Michael O'Neill - also without Sam Clucas and Joe Allen - had to reshuffle his system.
But he is now available again for the visit of Rotherham to the bet365 Stadium.
But Clucas (calf and shin) is still out, as is Nathan Collins (hamstring) and James Chester has been added to the injury list with a muscle problem.
O'Neill said: “Jordan is fine. He’ll be able to play tomorrow.
“Obviously he’s had to go through the concussion protocol, which we’ve managed this week. He’s trained today and he’ll be ok to play tomorrow.”
Joe Allen and Ryan Shawcross have been stepping up training but are not near contention to feature.
There is hope that Collins could be available for the trip to Watford next mid-week but Chester and Clucas are likely to be out for longer, possibly until the international break through mid-November.
“We can’t put a time frame on any," said O'Neill, who has also lost keeper Adam Davies to a knee ligament injury. "They’re all muscle related injuries.
“Nathan we would hope comes in contention for the game on Wednesday.
“We just have to manage Chezzie and Sam Clucas. I think they could be possibly be a little bit longer.”

The Championship schedule is making it a big challenge for physios this season.
O'Neill said: "The time frame in terms of recovery for injury is less because the games come around quicker and the schedule and workload on the players is very demanding.
"To reflect that I think we’ll pick up more injuries than normal. I don’t think we’re any different from any of the other clubs in the league in that perspective. We’ll just have to deal with it.
"It was a tough week last week and it will be again this week. The games are very difficult, they’re very intensive.
"We have to manage the squad through the situation we’re in. It’s not going to change. We know what the schedule looks like.
"We plan well ahead in terms of the training and management of training and try to make sure we stay as strong as possible."

What’s the difference between an Annual and a Perennial?
Annuals – Plants that perform their entire life cycle from seed to flower to seed within a single growing season. All roots, stems and leaves of the plant die annually. Only the dormant seed bridges the gap between one generation and the next.
Perennials – Plants that persist for many growing seasons. Generally the top portion of the plant dies back each winter and regrows the following spring from the same root system (e.g. Purple Coneflower). NOTE: WHEN STARTING PERENNIAL PLANTS FROM SEED, BLOOMS WILL BE OBSERVED IN EITHER THE SPRING OR SUMMER OF THE SECOND YEAR AND EACH YEAR THEREAFTER (e.g. Ox-Eyed Daisy planted in the spring of a given year will not bloom until the spring of the following. year).

Lawrence Livermore tops powerful-supercomputer list
- By Joab Jackson
- Jun 29, 2007
Once again, the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory can boast the world's most powerful supercomputer. The lab's BlueGene/L System topped the 29th biannual Top 500
list of the world's fastest computers, released earlier this week. This is the fourth time the system, developed by IBM, has led the list.
Using the Linpack benchmark software, BlueGene/L was able to calculate up to 280.6 trillion floating point operations per second (TFlops).
Energy also manages the next two computers on the list. A Cray XT4/XT3 system run by Oak Ridge National Laboratory was second at 101.7 Tflops, and the Sandia National Laboratory's Cray Red Storm system ranked third, at 101.4 TFlops.
The United States had 281 systems on the list, or a little more than 56 percent of the systems
. Universities ran many of these systems, as did state-run research centers and even a few companies such as IBM and Cray. Of the federal agencies, Energy had the lion's share of entries, although a few other agencies such as the Defense Department and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also had ranking supercomputers.

Toronto, Canada's Abby and Sarah Ginsburg are 10 years old and have been singing since they were just four. They probably didn't expect that a video of their cover of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," uploaded to their YouTube channel last year, would take them all the way to Hollywood, but that's exactly what happened.
It seems a friend of the girls' mother sent the video to "The Ellen Show."
Within just a few weeks, the girls, who described themselves as "best friends" in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, were in Hollywood performing a medley of Sam Smith songs on "The Ellen Show."
Naturally, DeGeneres surprised the twins with some very special gifts: Martin guitars signed by Sam Smith.
Watch the clip below.
Please share Abby and Sarah's considerable talent with your friends.


WASHINGTON (AP) — A new fundraising email from House Speaker Paul Ryan's political operation, over former Speaker Newt Gingrich's signature, seeks money for Republican congressional candidates by calling the appeal "our very last chance to stop Pelosi and Hillary."
Indiana Republican Trey Hollingsworth says in one TV ad that he's running for Congress to stop three Democrats — opponent Shelli Yoder, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — from imposing "higher taxes and government-run health care." In another spot, the GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund attacks the Democratic Senate challenger in Missouri by saying, "It's surprising how many ways Jason Kander is just like Hillary Clinton."
With polls showing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump facing a steep path to victory, GOP candidates are increasingly seeking voters' support by saying they will check Clinton's agenda.
Some of the ads are being funded by a last-minute infusion of cash from the Senate Leadership Fund, a major super PAC focused on Senate races and run by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The group announced Tuesday it is spending $25 million for the final stretch in six key states: Indiana, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Missouri.
The investment comes after public complaints from the Republican Party's Senate committee that it faced being outspent badly by Democrats in the election's final stretch. GOP outside groups are responding, including additional investments by the Chamber of Commerce.
Republicans hope that a loathing for Clinton will drive voters to the polls who otherwise might stay home because of their aversion to Trump.
Yet the value of the check-and-balance tactic is questioned by both parties' strategists as voters express fatigue with gridlock and a desire that Washington address problems like the slow-growing economy.
"The tightrope you walk is that assuming a Hillary win can potentially depress your base" voters' turnout, said GOP pollster Jon McHenry. But he said with Clinton's favorability ratings nearly as low as Trump's, arguing you will prevent Clinton from getting "free rein" in Washington is "a potent argument for a lot of independents."
The tactic is popping up in spots around the country, among them:
—A new ad by the American Action Network, which backs House Republicans, morphs a picture of Michigan Democratic House candidate Lon Johnson into Clinton and says both have "taken a fortune from special interests." Another by the network that starts Wednesday calls Suzanna Shkreli, a Democratic candidate in a second Michigan district, "a rubberstamp for Washington insiders" as pictures are shown of Clinton and Pelosi.
—In central California, the Congressional Leadership Fund supports GOP Rep. Jeff Denham by saying Democratic challenger Michael Eggman and Clinton back the dangerous nuclear arms pact with Iran, though "California families know they're wrong."
—The National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP campaign organization, says Democratic candidate Emily Cain "sides with Hillary, not with us" as she tries unseating freshman Republican Rep. Bruce Poliquin.
—An NRCC spot says first-term Rep. Brad Ashford, D-Neb., "says he's with us, but Clinton and Pelosi know he's with them."
—And west Texas GOP Rep. Will Hurd has an ad calling himself "the only candidate willing to stand up to Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump."
The reliance on the tactic comes with Republicans worried that a poor Trump showing could help Democrats capture a Senate majority and erode GOP House control.
The email from Ryan's political organization seeks contributions "to ensure the last line of defense for conservative values doesn't fall into the clutches of Hillary." After months of clashes, Ryan has refused to campaign for Trump and the presidential candidate has savaged the speaker on Twitter.
Asked why Ryan was adopting the check-and-balance approach, spokesman Zack Roday said Ryan "is focused on beating Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, on Election Day" and "committed to preserving our congressional majorities."
GOP pollster Robert Blizzard said the tactic works best if tied to issues Republican voters find emotional, like boosting taxes or expanding President Barack Obama's health care law. But he cautioned, "The easiest, most efficient, most effective way to defeat a Democratic candidate is to make that Democratic candidate unacceptable, unelectable."
Democrats say the tactic is flawed because it relies on two unlikely occurrences: Republicans repelled by Trump showing up to vote anyway, or people splitting their ticket between Clinton and a GOP congressional candidate.
"The national tide is running very strongly against down-ballot Republicans," said Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin. "They have to try to do something to change the national narrative of the election, even if it means throwing their nominee right under the bus."

It was a press conference about Notre Dame’s upcoming BCS national championship game, but for me, the biggest news of the day was about next season.
Though it might not come as a surprise, it’s huge news for a team that built much of its 2012 success upon veteran leadership.
Martin, one of four captains on this year’s Irish squad, has started all 38 games over the past three seasons. He received the Offensive Lineman of the Year Award at the Notre Dame Football Awards Show earlier this month, and his experience and vocal presence have been an integral part of the Fighting Irish’s 12-0 season.
On the other side of the ball, Nix has been a menacing defensive player at nose guard. The junior finished the regular season with 45 stops, including 5.5 tackles for a loss. Nix also had two sacks, five pass breakups and a forced fumble. He and defensive end Stephon Tuitt were co-recipients of the Moose Krause Lineman of the Year Award at this year’s awards show.
Not only is he 6-foot-3 and more than 300 lbs., but Nix, known to many as “Irish Chocolate,” is also one of the biggest personalities on the team.
In a sport where four- and five-star recruits are constantly on the radar, getting guys like Nix and Martin back, when the NFL Draft was a realistic option, is like signing six-star prospects. Following Michael Floyd and Manti Te’o before them, it says a lot about this university and football program, that student-athletes value a Notre Dame degree and the college experience over the money awaiting them in professional football.
Meanwhile, senior running back Cierre Wood will wait to hear back on his NFL evaluation, before making a decision.
Check back to UND.com later for video from today’s BCS Media Day.

The incredible shrinking plane seat
Airlines are adding an extra seat to each row of their coach cabins, reducing seat width to about 17 inches on many international flights.
Airlines' push to lure high-paying fliers with flatbed business seats and premium economy loungers is leaving economy-class passengers with less space.
A push over the past decade by carriers to expand higher-fare sections has shrunk the area devoted to coach on many big jetliners. But airlines don't want to drop passengers. So first airlines slimmed seats to add more rows.
Now, big carriers including AMR's (AAMRQ) American Airlines, Air Canada (AIDEF), Air France-KLM (AFRAF) and Dubai's Emirates Airline are cutting shoulder space by wedging an extra seat into each coach row. That shift is bringing the short-haul standard to long-haul flying.
For almost 20 years, the standard setup in the back of a Boeing (BA) 777 was nine seats per row. But last year, nearly 70 percent of its biggest version of the plane were delivered with 10-abreast seating, up from just 15 percent in 2010.
Of the airlines that have bought Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner—a model touted as improving passenger comfort—90 percent have selected nine-abreast seating in coach over roomy eight-abreast. And 10 airlines around the world now fly narrower Airbus A330 jetliners with nine 16.7-inch seats in each row—among the tightest flying—rather than the eight it was designed for, according to the unit of European Aeronautic Defence & Space (EADSY).
The new trend in economy seating reverses a half century of seat growth in economy class. Early jet planes like Boeing's 707 had 17-inch seats, a dimension based on the width of a U.S. Air Force pilot's hips, says Airbus marketing chief Chris Emerson.
That standard for long-haul flying increased to 18-inches in the 1970s and 1980s with the 747 jumbo and the first Airbus jets. It widened to 18.5 inches with the Boeing 777 in the 1990s and A380 superjumbo in the 2000s. Now, cost-conscious airlines are moving to lighter 17-inch-wide seats on their Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliners and 18-inch seats for A350s.
This doesn't sit well with many travelers, particularly those who are large or overweight. Arm rests and aisles are also getting slimmed to wedge in the extra seat, meaning more elbows get bumped. And while seats are now being designed more ergonomically, with better cushions and head rests, the improvements don't stop people from rubbing shoulders.
"I felt that I was kind of stuck in the seat" of an Emirates 777, said Ben Goodwin, a marketing manager at Birmingham University in England, who recently flew to China through Dubai. On his connecting flight, an Emirates Airbus A380, the seats were one inch wider. "I felt like I'd been upgraded, even though I was still in economy," he said.
The squeeze can help cash-squeezed airlines. Air France recently expanded the premium sections on its 777s while cutting the floor space in economy class. Yet the carrier kept the number of economy seats constant by switching from nine- to 10-abreast in the back, a spokesman said.
"On a 777, ten-abreast is the way to go," said Emirates President Tim Clark. "You'd be nuts to do it any other way."
Pressure in economy cabins also lets airlines upsell coach passengers. Air New Zealand Ltd. flies 10-abreast 777s on which fliers can book three economy seats that convert into a couch by raising the arm and leg rests.
Passengers aren't happy facing decreased shoulder room, more frequent bumps from service carts in narrower aisles and less overall comfort, said Andrew Wong, regional director of travel website TripAdvisor LLC in Singapore. Based on feedback to the company's SeatGuru website, he said, fliers "are becoming aware of increased seating abreast—particularly for the 777."
Plane makers deflect criticism, noting that seat width is up to airlines. Boeing designs its jets for airlines to do "whatever they want to do inside the cabin," said Mike Bair, Boeing senior vice president of marketing. Boeing designers focus on "creature comfort that can't be violated by the airlines," like bigger windows, larger overhead bins and mood lighting on every jet, he said.
Airlines and airplane makers are aware that passenger hips and waist lines aren't shrinking along with the seats dimensions.
"We are mindful that we serve a wide range of customer types and our aircraft need to be configured accordingly," said senior vice president of marketing and loyalty for United-Continental Holdings Inc., Tom O'Toole, who says the airline brings in real people of all shapes and sizes to help test and select its seats.

Why not just install "slave shelving" like they used on the "Middle Passage". With some padding and a pillow, it would actually be more comfortable than being wedged sideways into a 16.7" seat.
The significant percentage of the population does not fit into a 17 inch seat. The 17 inch stat is from world war 2 and doesn't take into account a man's shoulders as the seat was never meant to be set side by side and people have actually gotten bigger over the last three generations. Most women, taller than 5 Feet 6, as female hips are wider, will have to squeeze into the seats and most men taller than 5 feet 8 will have shoulders wider than the seat.
The airlines either creates 5 seat categories all in economy to let us size ourselves or...
This kind of slave spacing is bad for people's physical and mental health and new minimum should be mandated by law that covers 95%+ of the population.
colonial days of ships from Africa to America comes to mind. Squeeze them in.
.....cutting costs while creating a more intimate atmosphere mmmmmm......, all the while helping to motivate healthy eating choices - Seems like a win-win to me!!
(inside voice) which shouldn't be much of a stretch as the airlines seem determined to not feed us anymore - well if you don't count the pretzel pacs and a 1/2 cup of water - and increase fees for every little thing - next they will be charging to use the head and for getting off the plane!!! ...rant...rant....rant.
