HTC’s myTouch 4G Arriving November 3rd for $199 on T-Mobile
T-Mobile’s myTouch 4G will be arriving in stores on November 3rd and go for a respectable $199 with two year contract and $50 mail-in rebate. HTC is the manufacturer for the myTouch series that is exclusive to T-Mobile and the myTouch 4G is a nicely redesigned myTouch 3G Slide. It lacks physical keyboard of the Slide model but packs beefier hardware all around. It will also be the third HTC smartphone with the Sense user interface (UI) and one of T-Mobile’s ‘4G’ devices. More on that later.
HTC myTouch 4G from T-Mobile Specs
- 3.8” WVGA touchscreen
- 1 GHz ‘Snapdragon’ processor
- 768 MB of RAM
- 8 GB microSD card included
- HSPA+ data connectivity (what T-Mobile is calling 4G)
- 5 megapixel rear facing camera with 720p HD video capability
- Front facing camera for video calling
- Wi-Fi b/g/n support
- Bluetooth and GPS
- Android OS 2.2 ‘Froyo’ with HTC Sense UI
What should be noted is that the HSPA+ cellular radio in the myTouch 4G is what is most often referred to as 3.5G as it is an upgrade to existing 3G networks and not LTE like Verizon and AT&T are rolling out. LTE (long term evolution or 4G) technology is expected to eventually allow carriers to offer blazingly fast data speeds and help ease network congestion. However, the 4G technology that Sprint uses (WiMax) has been tested against T-Mobile’s HSPA+ or 4G network and is about equal. Regardless of whether or not you consider HSPA+ 3.5G or 4G like T-Mobile says, it offers speeds in the 4 to 8 Mbps range and can handle your video calling needs. What more do you really need?
Wi-Fi calling support is also expected to eventually appear on the myTouch 4G as is T-Mobile TV. HTC’s decision to drop the QWERTY slide-out keyboard found in the myTouch 3G Slide makes the smartphone slimmer and feel more solid. I have used the myTouch 3G Slide’s physical keyboard quite a bit in the past and have always found it a bit clunky though the touchscreen keyboard was a little more difficult to use than what I have come to expect from Apple’s iOS devices but good nonetheless. The device will be sold in four colors: white, black, plum and red.

|Suppression of resonant two-photon ionization rate by Rabi oscillation (Vol. 42, No. 3)|
Correlation between rabi oscillations and the time-dependence of the ionization probability for the resonant two-photon ionization of Ar+: (a) envelop of the laser field, (b) and (c) the square normof the probability amplitudes of the ground g state (blue) and of the intermediate i state (red) for aweak and a strong field case. The time-dependent ionization probability i.P. (green), is suppressed during the second half cycle of the rabi oscillations for the strong field case (c) due to the decrease in the probability amplitude of the intermediate state i.
In the form of resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI), few-photon spectroscopy has become a tool in a number of applications. This is because multiphoton ionization (n+1) rate increases in proportion to the (n+1)-th power of laser intensity, where n is the number of photons for the resonance excitation and the resonance enhances excitation probability, compared to non-resonance channel. Unlike REMPI in optical laser frequency regime, the intermediate resonance is reached by absorbing one photon in VUV laser frequency regime. In such case, the resonance state emits a photon with the same phase and frequency as the laser light. This cycling process of absorbing and emitting is called Rabi oscillations, which might affect the multiphoton ionization rate.
In fact, we have revealed the strong suppression of the resonant two-photon ionization (1+1) rate of Ar+ ion that increases according to the second power of laser intensity within the framework of perturbation theory. Our interpretation of the new results, the Rabi oscillation on the course of the duration of a single light pulse of the VUV free-electron laser plays the crucial role to determine the resonant two-photon ionization rate, bridges a gap between multiphoton physics and quantum optics.

Stephanie Grisham, the new White House press secretary, is a divorced mother of two boys.
First Lady Melania Trump announced on June 25, 2019 that Grisham would replace Sarah Huckabee Sanders as President Trump’s press secretary. As press secretary, Grisham’s profile is soon to be highly elevated. Grisham was already serving as the communications director for Melania.
“I am pleased to announce @StephGrisham45 will be the next @PressSec & Comms Director! She has been with us since 2015 – @potus & I can think of no better person to serve the Administration & our country. Excited to have Stephanie working for both sides of the @WhiteHouse. #BeBest,” the First Lady wrote on Twitter. That has a lot of people wondering more about Grisham’s family background.
Here’s what you need to know about Stephanie Grisham’s family:
1. Stephanie Grisham, a Single Mother, Is Not Currently Married
Stephanie Grisham is not married. She is single. An article by Fox 10 was titled, “Single mother from the Valley working for the Trump White House.”
The article, which ran in 2017, describes how Grisham’s high-powered jobs in the White House and on the campaign trail come with “a lot of sacrifice,” and it describes her as “an Arizona woman who found herself with an office in the White House.”
Grisham’s professional accomplishments, though, were already many before she took the job working for FLOTUS. Her public financial disclosure report from when she was deputy press secretary at the White House, says that she served as a press secretary in the Arizona House of Representatives in Phoenix, Arizona and was “director of press” on the transition team for Trump for America, in New York.
She made $106,000 in salary working for the House of Representatives and a $135,500 monthly retainer for the Trump campaign. For assets, she reported only a US Bank cash account worth no more than $15,000.
According to The Washington Post, “In the summer of 2015, she was a lowly press wrangler on Trump’s campaign.” The Post added that she had worked for Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012.
2. Stephanie Grisham Has Two Sons
Stephanie Grisham is the mother of two boys. According to Politico, her sons are named Kurtis and Jake. “She’s decorated her area with photos of Jake and his older brother Kurtis, 18, friends, a dog and, of course, ‘Mr. Trump,’ as his staff call him,” a Politico story reported in 2016. In 2017, Fox 10 reported that Jake was then 9.
The story also documented the toll the campaign takes on Grisham’s family. It says she spent three hours with the boys on the day the reporter was there “in the bubble,” which referred to “the circle cleared by Secret Service to be near Trump.”
Jake and Kurtis went to a Trump rally, got autographed hats and met journalists, according to Politico. “My little guy, he hugged me and just kind of turned around and walked away and I could tell he was upset so I pulled him back,” she told the news site of being separated from her youngest son during the campaign. “Short term, it’s a small sacrifice to make,” Grisham said, according to Politico. “Because I do think he’s best for the country.
In December 2018, The Washington Post wrote that Grisham was a “42-year-old single mother of two boys” who “plays a role in looking out for Barron, whom she can relate to because her younger son is about the same age.”
On Facebook, Grisham’s eldest son, Kurtis Marries, wrote that he worked at Harkins Theatres and went to Gilbert High School. He posted a photo showing him at the podium in the press briefing room of the White House and also a picture with Donald and Melania Trump.
3. Stephanie Grisham Was Previously Married to Dan Marries, a News Anchor
Stephanie Grisham was previously Stephanie Ann Sommerville. A marriage record on Ancestry.com says she was married in Nevada to “Danny Don Marries” on April 7, 1997. He is the father of her son, Kurtis Marries. In 2013, Marries was described by the Arizona Daily Star as “one of Tucson’s most recognizable TV celebrities.”
There is a 2004 family case between Stephanie Grisham and Dan Marries in Arizona courts that documents the marriage. “STEPHANIE GRISHAM VS. DAN MARRIES,” it reads. It says she was the petitioner and that she was also known as Stephanie Marries. There was also an order to appear for mediation in 2010. Grisham filed a petition for modification of child support at one point.
In November 2004, a notation in the court records says, “DECREE OF DISSOLUTION OF NON COVENANT MARRIAGE WITH CHILDREN.” The case was filed in September 2004.
In 2010, there was an order in the case approving a custody and parenting plan. That same year, there was an “Order & Notice To Withhold Income For Child Support.”
On Facebook, Dan Marries (who also goes by the name Danny Don Marries) refers to Kurtis as his son. “Here’s Kurtis (my oldest son who’s now 18),” he wrote with one throwback picture of the boy. Dan Marries’ profile picture on Facebook shows him with the late U.S. Senator John McCain.
According to his Facebook page, Dan Marries is the “evening news anchor for KOLD News 13 (CBS) in Tucson, AZ. I’ve lived in Tucson since June 1999 and love calling the Old Pueblo home!” His television station biography says he is remarried and has a son, Dean, with his new wife. He does not appear to be the father of Grisham’s younger son, Jake. “Dan is the father of two boys: Kurtis and Dean. He’s the lucky husband of Jennifer, who’s originally from Nassau, Bahamas. The were married in 2010 and love calling Tucson home,” the bio reads.
“Dan got his start in television news in 1995 while he was still a junior at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, CO. His internship (led) to his first job in journalism as the morning anchor and noon weatherman. Further news jobs took him to Mankato, MN, Yuma and finally Tucson. It was also during college he spent four summers as a wildland firefighter for the Bureau of Land Management,” his bio says.
4. Grisham Has Described How She Broke Down in Tears From Missing Her Boys
In the Fox 10 article, Grisham explained that she switched to the First Lady’s office because her previous duties in the White House, working as then Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s deputy press secretary, were requiring days as long as 15 hours.
“The reason I ultimately left is because I want to bring my little boy out here to live with me full time,” said Grisham to Fox 10. “That kind of schedule, as a single parent, it wouldn’t be fair to him. Over here, the hours aren’t quite as long. The First Lady is very, very supportive of me, as a single mother, and I’ll be able to work from home if I need to.”
Her work on the Trump campaign took her away from the boys, who lived in Arizona, for months, Fox 10 also reported. “Sometimes, I just break down and cry. I miss them,” said Grisham to the Arizona television station. “I know that in the future, this will be great for them and it will benefit them.”
It’s not clear at what time Grisham took that last name and from whom. Online records do show her living at the same address as a man with that name in the past. This story will be updated if more is learned about that angle.
5. Grisham Has Praised Melania Trump’s Own Commitment to Family
Melania Trump and Stephanie Grisham appear to have formed a bond, in part because they both have sons about the same age and in part because Grisham is known as a fierce defender of the First Lady.
“Mrs. Trump’s life story is an inspiration to millions of mothers and female entrepreneurs, and to me personally,” she said when she took the job with FLOTUS, according to the Tucson Sentinel. “I deeply respect and admire her commitment to our country, her family, and to the important role of the first lady. I look forward to helping her communicate her unifying message of kindness and empowerment.”
According to AZ Central, Grisham is a former resident of Gilbert, Arizona. The site adds that her positions in Arizona were for “Arizona Attorney General Horne, and the Republican majority at the Arizona House of Representatives.” She was known as a fierce defender of those she worked for there, too, helping them weather controversies. There was some upheaval in Grisham’s life during her time in Arizona. According to The Washington Post and court records reviewed by Heavy, she was stopped for driving under the influence in 2013 and 2015.

The Leadership Conference
As the nation's oldest, largest, and most diverse civil and human rights coalition, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (TLCCHR) is charged to promote and protect the rights of all people, particularly those who have been historically marginalized.
As the nation’s oldest, largest, and most diverse civil and human rights coalition, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (TLCCHR) is charged to promote and protect the rights of all people, particularly those who have been historically marginalized. In response to voter suppression efforts during the 2020 election cycle, which disproportionately impacted historically disenfranchised groups, TLCCHR launched their “And Still I Vote” campaign to advocate for free and fair access to the ballot and to celebrate voters who have historically been under attack.
With 2020 setting the stage for the merging of multiple political and social justice crises, TLCCHR was set to generate awareness around voting barriers and initiate a call to action for voters and policy makers.
Known as a leader in moving the needle forward on crucial legislation and social justice issues impacting diverse communities, TLCCHR entered 2020 with a focus on the 2020 election cycle and counteracting voter suppression efforts aimed at discouraging and blocking voters from their right to participate in our democracy through the “And Still I Vote” campaign. However, as TLCCHR were a part of the fight against voter suppression, they were met with another fight.
Not long after the launch of the “And Still I Vote” campaign, the COVID-19 pandemic also prompted TLCCHR to split its focus to also proactively advocate for passage of the HEROES Act, which would provide a $3 trillion safety net for those most impacted by COVID-19 through the provision of health care, economic security, justice system reform, housing, and voting access.
WhitPR was tasked with garnering national media attention around the “And Still I Vote” campaign, while also generating support around the passage of federal legislation protecting those largely impacted by voter suppression, the pandemic, and more.
Through a series of pitches and press releases, WhitPR drove the amplification of the “And Still I Vote” campaign and their advocacy efforts for the HEROES Act. WhitPR also collaborated with the TLCCHR team to curate timely op-eds highlighting key issues, further positioning TLCCHR as an authority in the social justice and civil and human rights space.
Also, as part of efforts to amplify the campaign, activations, and announcements, WhitPR leveraged key TLCCHR leadership and celebrity influencers to generate press opportunities and provide commentary around voter suppression and legislation developments.
WhitPR secured 43 placements in February 2020 to June 2021 for The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the “And Still I Vote” campaign, including CBS This Morning, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Vogue, People, the Los Angeles Times, and more. The news coverage generated 5.93 billion media impressions and 4.61 million coverage views.

Geneology Searching @ Your Library
article in the Dyersville Commercial
Genealogy Searching @ Your Library
Interested in finding out who is in your family tree, where they lived and where they came from but you don’t know where to start? Then the library is a great place to start. Our website offers links to many helpful genealogy websites. To help you get started with your search using these websites, the library is sponsoring Ancestry Library Edition Classes. Four Wednesday evenings in January, patrons can learn how to use these websites and start searching their family tree. Ancestry Library Edition Classes will be from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, January 4, 11, 18 & 25.
To begin the online search, click on the Genealogy tab located in the row of tabs on the home page of the library (www.dyersville.lib.ia.us). The genealogy page contains a list of links to helpful resources for you as you chronicle your family tree. The first website listed is Ancestry Library Edition. It is the library version of the popular Ancestry.com website and can be accessed for free while in the library using either your personal laptop or the library computers. A half dozen other websites are also listed on the library’s genealogy page. Through these websites you can look up birth, death, emigration, marriage, census, military and other records. Genealogy searching can be slow and, at times, frustrating, but it is also surprising, exciting and definitely addictive. It is quite amazing to see a photo or sketch of the ship that brought your ancestors to this country. You might even find your ancestors name on the photo copy of the original ship’s manifest. Recently, while looking up my grandparents on a 1930 census record, I found my grandparents, who had come from Denmark, had a boarder living with them, who had also come from Denmark. I had never heard my grandparent had a boarder but the census records even listed his occupation as “baker.” As I said, genealogy searching is addictive.
The Ancestry Library Edition Classes will go through the websites on January 4 and 11. Then, on January 18 and 25, a library staff will be available to assist participants researching their family trees. To help others better their searches, participants will be encouraged to share their genealogy information searching experiences. Participants will be given handouts with tips on genealogy searching and laptop computers will be available for use. Feel free to bring information about your own family to research. Registration is requested for this class. If there is interest, a genealogy group or club could be started.
For more information please contact the library.

|Imperial Officer/Original (Imperial Army Officer)|
Imperial Officers, also called "Imp Officers" by Rebels during combat, are one of the two special units in the game only available to the Galactic Empire. He is a member of the Officer class, requiring the player earns 8 points before using him.
The Imperial Officer's primary weapon is the Sonic Pistol. It shoots fairly strong waves of sound at your enemies, causing moderate damage, higher than that of a Stormtrooper's rifle. The downside to this weapon is that it has a mere 35 shots, with 7 per magazine, the exact number needed to kill a Wookiee. The Sonic Pistol is also slightly inaccurate at long range.
The Officer's secondary weapon is the Mortar Launcher. It shoots projectiles a good distance and causes large, grenade-like explosions which are VERY devastating to enemy troops. When firing, the mortar can be charged, increasing both the range and the fuse length. It also has a large ammo capacity, 25 shots. It's also great against vehicles and turrets.
|Sonic Pistol||35 Shots|
|V-6D Mortar Launcher||25 Shots|
|R4 Recon Droid||1 Count|
Like the Dark Trooper the Imperial Officer does not change his skin on any map, but originally when the retired clone trooper is reading the 501st journal for Mustafar a different skin can be seen.
- The Imperial Officer is a versatile unit, as it has anti-personnel and anti-vehicle weapons, and even buffs.
- Despite the average health and speed of the Officer he isn't as suitable in direct combat as the Stormtrooper, and is suited more in a support role. His primary weapons serve as an accurate mid-distance weapon and a powerful explosive deployer, respectively.
- The Sonic Pistol is similar to the Geonosian's Sonic Blaster, and does moderate damage per shot, making him useful for finishing off enemies with low health, or crippling high-health enemies from a distance.
- However, its distinctive sound and projectile appearance can lead to the detection of an Imperial Officer.
- Its low clip size and low projectile speed necessitates a medium-distance fighting style with allies in between the Officer and the target, allowing him ample time to reload or retreat.
- His Grenade Launcher is versatile, as it has different charge levels. At no charge the grenade is lobbed a short distance and explodes on impact, but at full charge level the grenade is thrown a long distance, but there's a large delay between impact and explosion. This delay can be used to bounce grenades around corners and off walls to hit enemies behind cover.
- Conversely, the no-charge version is superior in direct combat due to instant explosion and shorter delays between firing. Firing from a great height can be used to negate the distance penalty.
- The Rage buff can quickly turn the tide of a battle, and it should be used to give an offensive push an edge.
- The Recon Droid is useful as a scout, and is powerful enough to severely damage and kill enemy troops it encounters. Its self-destruct mechanism can be used to set traps, but doesn't do any damage to vehicles. However, the Officer is left vulnerable while operating the droid and can easily be killed by a sneaky Bothan Spy or sniper if cover isn't properly utilised.
- The Sonic Pistol in the game uses the same skin as the ST-1 Pistol.
- The Imperial Officer was originally was going to appear in Star Wars Battlefront I but was cut from the game in pre production due to memory issues along with the Clone Commander, Bothan Spy and the CIS Officer classes.
- The original model was later used during Battlefront 2's development, but it was replaced by the current one near release. The original model can still be seen in concept art showing the Empire Faction (see the gallery below).
- In Star Wars: Battlefront: Elite Squadron these are unobtainable units, appearing as NPCs on Star Destroyers as Imperial Fleet Officers.
- In Star Wars Battlefront II's Galactic Conquest mode, the Imperial Officer costs 1800 credits to recruit into your Army.
- The Imperial Officers in Battlefront 2 wear combat uniforms similar to the ones worn by General Veers and the AT-ST pilots.
- Back to Infantry

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WFFT) - A heart warming reunion took place at Lafayette Meadows Elementary Tuesday afternoon.
The school's media specialist, Rachel Vanegelhoven, was re-united with her husband in front of the entire school. TSgt. Jesse Vanengelenhoven served six months in south Asia.
"I was shocked. I'm shaking. It was a complete surprise," said Rachel.
The Vanengelenhovens were re-united during a school assembly about kindness. Jesse entered the assembly as Sparty the Spartan, Homestead High School's mascot, to demonstrate ways to be kind. When it came time to be kind to Rachel, he gave her a hug then took off the mask.
"When he dabbed, I thought, 'that's something Jesse would do,' but I didn't really think he was really in there," said Rachel.
The couple has been married for just over a year, and are ready to be back together.
"The feeling of finally seeing him again--it's been so long," said Rachel. "It could've been longer. I know some people deploy for years so six months really isn't as long as some people have to deal with, but it's a long time for me."
"[I'm looking forward to] just being back with family and friends getting back to normalcy," says Jesse. "With all the hustle and bustle going on, I'm ready to get back."
Jesse said he also missed the food while he was away.
"[I missed] bacon. I will tell you that for sure, because we didn't have pork over there--definitely bacon," says Jesse.
He will take a month off before going back to work at Grissom Air Reserve base in southern Indiana.

Artists, techies, authors, scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, free thinkers – MAKERS are all these things and more.
The first official Maker Faire was held in the bay area of California in 2006. It included more than 100 exhibiting makers. The maker movement quickly grew. Today there are maker faires across the world, including right here in Colorado.
There will be more than 130 makers at the NOCO Mini Maker Faire in Loveland, Colorado this October.
Living Ink will be at the faire. These makers have created an ink that allows you to write, sketch, draw or paint your story over time. Their product writes like a pen, but your words or art will disappear after a few minutes and when placed in a greenhouse your masterpiece will come alive.
Living Ink is just an example of the type of creative folks that will be sharing their inventions and creations with attendees at NOCO Mini Maker Faire. This two-day event will include demonstrations and speakers.
This year, NOCO Mini Maker Faire introduces Makers After Dark. This adult-only evening takes place on Friday, October 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. and features 20 craft distillers, gourmet snacks and larger than life demonstrations by a select group of makers. Think robots, fire and lasers. Tickets are $50.
I spoke to Montanya Distillers about Makers after Dark while I was in Crested Butte earlier this month and these makers of delicious rum are super excited to be part of this event.
The Maker Faire has been called the “Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth,” and parents are encouraged to bring along their children to the main event on Saturday and Sunday. Watch your children be amazed and inspired.
NOCO Mini Maker Faire
October 10-11, 2015

If left untreated, mental health can lead to members of staff suffering a breakdown or resorting to substance abuse to deal with emotions.
If you are concerned that an employee may have a substance or behavioural dependency, such as alcohol addiction, drug addiction or gambling addiction, get in touch with us to help support them through the process.
The cost of addiction
Looking after your staff’s mental wellbeing is not just beneficial for them – it has a positive effect on your workforce. Employees who feel supported by their management will always find it easier to stay in work or return after a period of absence, which reduces absenteeism, sick days and staff turnover, ultimately saving you costs. They’re also more likely to work productively, integrate into teams and adapt to change.
Those that feel uncomfortable opening up about addiction are likely to keep quiet when they are not well enough to carry out their duties, increasing the possibility of a health and safety risk.
Workplace born dependencies
Our admissions team have seen a steady rise in the number of people calling for help for themselves or a loved one – many of whom are in employment and whose dependencies are a derivative of stressful working lives.
Internet and social media fixation, alcoholism, eating disorders and gambling addiction admissions have risen in concerning numbers over the years.
The UKAT Addiction Awareness Programme for businesses
We are on a mission to reduce addiction in the UK. We want to partner with you, for free, to help you help any employees that need support.
Our addiction awareness seminars are:
- Delivered by a Certified Addiction Therapist (Enhanced DBS Checked)
- Tailored to meet any particular concerns or objectives your business has
- Hosted on-site (we will ensure to maintain social distancing at all times)
- Informative, interactive and engaging; your employees will listen and participate from start to finish
It’s time to be proactive in tackling substance misuse and mental health disorders.
Our free programme will help your business engage with its employees openly and honestly, demonstrating your active efforts in preventing any issues with drugs and alcohol developing.
If your business already believes there are staff experiencing substance misuse or mental health disorders, we can work together to provide the necessary support to tackle this head-on.
Alternatively, email email@example.com

Since Amber Heard accused estranged husband Johnny Depp of domestic violence, the Depp camp has attempted to discredit her, while friends have passionately come to her defense. iO Tillett White wrote an essay about domestic violence and the culture of victim-blaming and included several visceral details of Depp’s alleged abuse. And now, following news that Heard was arrested for abusing her ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree in 2009, van Ree has spoken up as well.
As a refresher, reports emerged that Heard was arrested seven years ago for grabbing and striking van Ree on the arm while in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. She appeared in court the following day, but no charges were filed.
Heard and van Ree split up in 2012 but remained on good terms, and People reports that van Ree released a statement in her ex-girlfriend’s defense, in which she said, “In 2009, Amber was wrongfully accused for an incident that was misinterpreted and over-sensationalized by two individuals in a power position.”
She also touched on the current allegations against Depp, saying, “It’s disheartening that Amber’s integrity and story are being questioned yet again. Amber is a brilliant, honest and beautiful woman and I have the utmost respect for her.”

Kesha may have woken up “feeling like P Diddy” back in the day, but she may now be feeling more like MC Hammer. The singer’s years-long legal battles with Dr. Luke have left her with a surprisingly small amount of money. Kesha burst onto the music scene in 2009 with “Right Round,” her chart-topping collaboration with Flo Rida. Soon, she’d become one of the biggest names in pop music, embracing a party animal persona with her 2010 album, coincidentally titled Animal, and crazily catchy hits like “Tik Tok.” But as her name change from “Ke$ha” back to Kesha may tell you, she’s much more nuanced than song titles like “Party at a Rich Dude’s House” would let on.
The daughter of country singer Pebe Sebert, Kesha studied music at a young age and studied hard in general. She got a 1500 on her SAT and crashed courses at Barnard way before she sang about crashing parties, per Rolling Stone. “I was all set out for, like, a life of academia,” she told Time Magazine. Then, Dr. Luke came knocking, and encouraged Kesha to drop out of high school, pursue pop, and embrace a “dumb” persona. “I remember specifically him saying: ‘Make it more dumb,'” Kesha told The New York Times on her first songs. “Make it more stupid.”
This story has a happy ending, as Kesha is now able to put out music without the heavy hand of Dr. Luke. But that freedom took years and came at a price. Here’s Kesha’s net worth today.
Kesha's legal battles took her money but not her creativity
What’s Kesha’s net worth today? That would be a tawdry $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. It’s a simply shocking number, considering she’s had 10 Top 10 hits. But her seemingly endless legal battle with Dr. Luke and with Sony/RCA records, the label that put a dollar sign in her name, has taken a lot of her real-life dollar signs away.
In October 2014, Kesha accused her producer Dr. Luke of “drugging and raping her and emotionally abusing her in a manner that ultimately led her to an eating disorder,” as The Washington Post reported. She wanted to be released from her contract. Clearly, Dr. Luke was also controlling the star’s sound. Kesha suffered a loss when the court ruled in 2020 that Kesha had defamed the producer. She was ordered to pay him $373,000 in late royalty payments, per Rolling Stone. Given that six years later, they are still in court over the assault charges, Kesha’s certainly shelled out more than that on the case.
The silver lining? In 2017, according to Pitchfork, while Kesha hasn’t been released from her contract, a clause was waived saying Dr. Luke had to produce the majority of her songs. Her less party-centric and triumphant 2017 LP Rainbow, her first Dr. Luke-free release, was nominated for two Grammys. With her “Free Kesha” court battles still ongoing, Kesha has returned to releasing music. She has her creativity back.

Fat fuels Holliston vehicles
Saturated fat is good for something after all.
On Cross Street in Holliston, restaurant grease fuels two 1993 Mercedes and a few Ford pickup trucks driven up to 500 miles a week all over New England.
Fred Olsson, general manager for Planet Aid, said he decided to experiment with converting his small fleet of vehicles from diesel to grease to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
"It's the environmental impact more than saving money on diesel," Olsson explained. "You use a renewable source of energy, so the carbon dioxide you emit in the atmosphere has already been taken up by plants that produce the seeds that make the oil."
Planet Aid, a not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to protecting the environment and encouraging sustainable development in Africa and Asia, according to its Web site.
The group collects clothes - it has collection boxes throughout the region - and resells them to support education, development and HIV/AIDS projects in Africa and Asia, the Web site says.
Olsson started with Planet Aid's two older Mercedes "to see if it worked" about two years ago, he said.
"The big issue is, 'Do we see any loss of power?' No, we don't see any loss of power," Olsson said.
Three weeks ago, Olsson said he converted his operations manager's F-250 Ford pickup truck, which logs about 500 miles a week. As a test and because they had to make the trip, they drove it to California with no problem, he said.
"We wanted to get the cost down for him," as the truck chugged about $120 worth of diesel on a weekly basis, Olsson said.
"Now, he logs about 100 miles per gallon of diesel because he drives on grease for the most part," said Olsson, who expects to save about $100 a month this way.
The grease is free. Planet Aid takes it from local steakhouses, Brazilian and Mexican restaurants - "places where they make a lot of french fries," he said, laughing. Otherwise, restaurants pay to dispose of the cooking oil, Olsson said.
How much grease does Planet Aid have to pick up to feed its small fleet?
"It's all a big experiment. As far as we can see, it's one to one, equal," Olsson said.
Planet Aid purchased its own mechanical filter for about $1,000 to clean the french fries and food particles out of the cooking oil, Olsson said.
Converting his Mercedes and Fords was a fairly simple and natural process, Olsson said, because the diesel engine was originally built to run on peanut oil. Diesel fuel wasn't around when Rudolf Diesel, of Germany, invented the engine that carries his name, he said.
"Diesel is actually meant to run on oil. But then diesel came as a cheap solution and had lower viscosity.
"You can still run cooking oil in these engines - you just have to make the viscosity (thickness) level ... thin like water," which is done by heating the oil to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, Olsson said.
Olsson and his staff at Planet Aid personally converted their Mercedes and Ford pickup trucks, he said, using a $750 conversion kit offered by an Easthampton company (www.greasecar.com).
"It's pretty easy," he said. Converting a diesel-fueled vehicle to grease involves installing an extra tank to contain cooking oil, Olsson said. The converted vehicle still uses a small amount of diesel, which warms the coolant that heats the oil to 160 degrees in about 10 minutes, he said.
Olsson is definitely happy with the outcome of his experiment, he said.
"Yeah, it works fine. It smells like a restaurant when you're driving, though," he said.

and diet and refer to specialists as necessary for
integrative, cooperative care. Your Manchester chiropractic is
very experienced in

Views on Sexual Orientation Relevant in Fostering Decisions
Posted: 3rd March 2011
The High Court has handed down its judgment in the widely-reported case concerning a Christian couple seeking to foster a child, who had told social workers that they were opposed to homosexuality on account of their religious beliefs.
Owen and Eunice Johns had previously been approved as foster carers by Derbyshire County Council and had provided foster care in the past, last doing so in 1993. In 2006 they again expressed an interest in fostering a child and in January 2007 applied to be short-term foster carers.
During discussions with social workers, the Johns expressed the view that homosexuality was against God's laws. They also said that because of their religious faith they would feel unable to take a child to a mosque. Ms Johns was asked about a number of hypothetical situations, such as how they could support a young person who thought they might be gay, or who was being bullied at school for reasons relating to sexual orientation. Following these discussions, social workers told them they 'would have difficulty in being approved' for fostering.
After the application had been deferred for some time, the Johns went to court seeking a declaration that:
- persons who adhere to a traditional code of sexual ethics, according to which any sexual union outside marriage [...] is morally undesirable, should not be considered unsuitable to be foster carers for this reason alone;
- persons who attend Church services at a mainstream denomination are, in principle, suitable to be foster carers;
- it is unlawful for a Foster Service to ask potential foster carers their views on homosexuality absent the needs of a specific child;
- it is unlawful for a public authority to describe religious adherents who adhere to a code of moral sexual ethics [...] as 'homophobic'.
The Council sought a declaration that it may be lawful for a fostering service provider to refuse to approve a foster carer who expresses opposition to, or an inability to display a positive attitude towards, homosexuality and same-sex relationships.
The court declined to grant declaratory relief, but did rule that a potential foster carer's attitudes to sexuality are relevant in fostering decisions. The legality of any decision will depend on the individual facts of the case, taking into account the relevant guidelines.
Contrary to some reports, the Johns have not been banned from fostering – a formal decision on their application has not yet been reached, although this ruling may mean they are unlikely to be accepted.


In 1992, head coach Chuck Daly was every bit of a game-changer for the reputation and culture of the Nets organization as Prokhorov, Avery, and D-Will were for the 2010-11 version of the franchise. Except Daly had come to the Nets after accomplishing something significant – winning multiple NBA titles as head coach of the Detroit Pistons, and leading the first-ever Olympic “Dream Team” to a Gold Medal in 1992.
Prior to 1992, the Nets didn’t have anyone – coaches, players or front office staff – of Daly’s stature. He was the epitome of a living legend. A guy people wanted to play for.
As Ginocchio points out, Daly only lasted two seasons after being fed up with the organization and some of the maturity issues the Nets had at the time. The Nets had incredible young talent though, led by Derrick Coleman, Kenny Anderson and Drazen Petrovic, so it’s easy to see why Daly was intrigued by coaching that team. Petrovic was tragically killed in a car accident after Daly’s first season, though, and Coleman and Anderson, although they had some moments, never fully realized the immense potential both had as young players.

Joey P. Mánlapaz
Philippine-born and Washington, DC-based artist Joey P. Mánlapaz came to the United States as a young teen. She earned her MFA in painting from The George Washington University where her ongoing fascination for and concentration on the city of Washington as subject matter were influenced by her mentor Frank Wright, a renowned painter of 18th-19th century architecture of downtown DC.
Mánlapaz exhibits extensively in the U.S. and continuously receives numerous accolades for her unique form of painterly photorealism, a result of a combined interest in the strict photorealist styles of New York artists Tom Blackwell and Richard Estes and the deep psychological sensibility of Edward Hopper. Her first museum exhibition “Through the Looking Glass” at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Spring 2009 featured her Reflections Series, highly complex paintings of reflections on glass storefront windows in DC. Since then, and as with her Hot Dog Vendor Series, she returns her attention to city sidewalks, painting on canvas the soon-to-be-obsolete newspaper stands that still dot city corners.
Several honors and awards for artistic merit include a coveted 2003 National Book Festival painting commission from the U.S. Library of Congress and First Lady Laura Bush. Her work was shown at the 2011 NY Affordable Art Fair, 2010 Miami Red Dot Art Fair and 2007 London Bridge Art Fair. Among collectors of her work include Akridge, Arnold & Porter LLP, Ayala Corporation, Bill Cosby, DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities, U.S. State Department and Wiley Rein & Fielding LLP.

Barasat: From being an importer of illegal firearms from Bihar, over the last few years Bengal has become a hotbed for illegal firearms manufacturing units exporting their products as far as to Bangladesh.
This is what has specifically come to light after Kolkata Police busting an illegal firearms manufacturing unit at Agarpara in North 24-Parganas. The unit was running in a bi-storied building next to a garment shop at Agarpara’s Ushumpur locality.
Acting on a tip-off, the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police raided the building this noon and busted the firearms manufacturing unit that was running in a room on the ground floor.
Police have so far confiscated a few welding machines, 62 finished iron frame of pistols, and other apparatus that are required to make firearms. Three persons, including Kalachnad Pal, the owner of the building, have been detained for questioning.
Pal, who runs a garment shop named Soma Cloth Centre in the building, has told police that he rented out the ground floor room to one Pappu Khan of Kamarhati again in North 24-Parganas district. He took it on rent for an iron fabricating unit.
But police say that Khan was actually running an illegal firearm manufacturing unit by employing three-four workers from Bihar. Only the iron frames of pistols were being manufactured here. The frames then used to be sent to another unit at Kankinara in the same district for fitment of bullet chambers, etc.

Farmers get rolling again
MADISON - Fields were bustling last week as, finally, clear and downright balmy weather allowed farmers across Wisconsin to get rolling again.
"Amazing what three days of sunshine and warm temperatures can do," the Walworth County reporter said in the "Wisconsin Crop Progress & Condition Report" for the week ending June 4.
Planting and haying chugged along with 5.1 days suitable for fieldwork as May ended and the calendar flipped to June. Many producers, especially dairies, paused planting activities to cut the first crop of hay while conditions were favorable for baling.
In Dodge County, farmers took advantage of the welcome string of warm, dry days to make a lot of haylage and, the reporter noted, even some dry bales.
Waupaca and Outagamie counties also made good progress harvesting alfalfa, but reported quantity is less than normal as a result of the cool spring weather.
By Sunday, 54 percent of the state's first cutting of alfalfa was off the field.
The report pegged the condition of all hay at 75 percent good to excellent, three percentage points higher than the previous week.
Growers were wrapping up this year's oats planting, while corn, soybean and vegetable planting surged ahead. "We only had one inch of rain this week, so everyone who could was busy in the fields trying to get things done," the Rusk County reporter said.
As of June 4, spring tillage was 94 percent complete statewide, equal to the five-year average.
Corn planting was 91 percent complete, two days behind the average, and 68 percent of corn had emerged, eight days behind last year and four days behind the average.
In Crawford County, farmers used the dry window to complete their corn planting and move straight into planting soybeans.
Many fields in the Kickapoo River bottom continue to have standing water and 2016 corn standing not harvested as a result of last year's flooding, as well as some soybeans, the reporter added. "Not sure what will happen to those fields," he said.
Statewide, soybean plantings hit 73 percent of expected acres, 11 days behind last year and four days behind the average. Thirty-four percent of the beans had emerged, nine days behind last year and four days behind the average.
Oats planting was 96 percent complete, three days behind the average, with 87 percent of oats emerged, 10 days behind last year and four days lagging the average.
Chippewa County, the sunny conditions and less than an inch of rainfall during the week allowed a lot of field work to be completed in Chippewa County. "The warm temperatures moved crop progress along, but also weed growth," that reporter observed.
The report observed that crop conditions improved as temperatures climbed, ending the week in the 80s and 90s. La Crosse topped out at 97 degrees, while Eau Claire hit 90 and Madison made it to 87 degrees.
The report rated 68 percent of corn in good to excellent condition, as well as 75 percent of oats and 72 percent of potatoes.
In Florence County, the early rains and heat throughout the week had hay and pastures looking good, the reporter said.
Statewide, 83 percent of pastures were in good to excellent condition, as was 71 percent of winter wheat, with 29 percent of the crop headed, five days behind last year.
Soil conditions also improved, allowing state farmers to fill in spots that were too wet to plant earlier in the season.
By week's end, topsoil moisture supplies were 2 percent short, 74 percent adequate and 24 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated 1 percent short, 75 percent adequate and 24 percent surplus.
In Buffalo and Pepin counties, some spotty hail fell in isolated thunderstorms over the weekend.
In Calumet County, rainfall limited fieldwork and redrenched fields. "There are areas of standing water again," the reporter said. "We did have a couple days of warmer temperatures and sunshine, which has helped. We could use a few more of these days."
The weekly report is a cooperative effort of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, and the National Weather Service.

One of the world’s leading female street artists, Vexta, is making a triumphant return to the art scene with her brand new exhibition, Cosmos, a visual exploration and emotional response to the current environmental crisis. The exhibition will launch on Friday 2 August at KSR Art Bar, 6-8pm and will be open to the public until Wednesday 21 August. This will be supported by a series of interactive events, including an immersive dinner, Japanese meditative tea ceremony, a transformative sound healing and an artist talk hosted by Co-Curator, Andrew King.
Cosmos will be filled with her iconic geometric symbology and eye-catching neon aesthetic: birds of wisdom and warning, figures flying and falling in amongst a tangle of natural elements, separated from the earth, yet still bound by it. Her latest works are a personal response to the present state of the environment and an emotive description of our connection to nature. As she explains: “This new body of work is really important to me because it takes my iconic flying imagery and raises it to the next level; making it more personal, more intricate, and ideologically drenched in the nuances of the times we live in.”
This exhibition takes its title from Cosmos: A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe, a book written by Alexander Von Humboldt — known as the father of ecology — which predated Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. One of the first Western thinkers to provide a holistic perception of the universe as one interacting entity, Von Humboldt described the phenomenon and cause of human-induced climate change back in the 1800s.
Cosmos is an invitation to look inwards, to connect with our feelings — to examine how healing our connection to our sense of self can heal our world.
Vexta is a self-taught artist from Sydney Australia. With a background in Street Art beginning in the mid-2000s, her bold and extravagant artworks have invaded our visual landscape from Melbourne to Mexico and everywhere in between, from large-scale murals to gallery exhibitions, she is a nomad of our modern times. She has exhibited extensively across Australia, Europe and North America.
In 2009, Anthony Lister held a one-night-only pop-up art event in Sydney’s Kings Cross, entitled No Win Sitch. The show encompassed an installation in notorious Strip Club, Porky’s.
To mark the ten-year anniversary of No Win Sitch, Lister presents a brand new installation, CULTURE IS OVER, once again paying homage to the colourful old school Kings Cross culture.
The pop-up will be a week-long free exhibition for the public. Inspired by the Lister’s iconic artwork ‘Moloch of Luna Park’, 2017, attendees can expect a twisted trip into the paranormal mystery of Luna Park’s unidentified horned man, as well as the plethora of Kings Cross nightlife and characters, conveyed through his painting, sculpture and video installations.
Expect occult themes, introspective in-painting analysis of form and movement, Basquiat-style outpourings and Lister’s usual kickback against the cops.
CULTURE IS OVER opens Wednesday 17 July at 7:00pm.
HYPNAGOGIA – opening night June 21st I show open until June 30th
Performance by Karen Bravo during the opening at Versus Gallery I 1 Vere St, Richmond, VIC. 3121. Australia
When we fall asleep, where do we travel? Can we go there entirely conscious? The transitional state between sleep and wakefulness— Hypnagogia—is the ephemeral portal that opens every night allowing us to dive in dreams consciously. After exploring the concept of presence in daily life with her last show, Lucy Lucy is now taking this idea into the world of dreams. Being aware in dreams is possible and strange. The delicate skill of traveling through the dreamscape mindfully is incredibly powerful. In this new body of work Lucy aims to capture the elusive joy and power of the hypnagogic state by depicting her subjects in this state of limbo playing with mysterious forms plugged into their mind, linking conscious and unconscious. Those bedtime travellers are mindfully interacting with their dawning dreams. Playing with the weird and the wonderful by engaging lucidly with the subconscious may be just a question of intention.
Currently residing in Melbourne, Parisian born artist Lucy Lucy has graciously carved her niche in the Australian urban art community. Her work moves between large-scale public murals, gallery exhibitions, book illustration and tribal ornaments.
Marking Hill’s debut Melbourne solo exhibition, A Measure Of All Things explores how structures and language combine to become a scale in which our experiences exist, where the physical world connects and shapes our own interpretations.
Aspects of Hill’s large scale mural practice are distilled and reframed through canvas artworks, installation and paper studies, where the parallels of physical spaces and everyday conversation are layered, abstracted and manipulated into new landscapes and fragments of reflection. These works shift between simplifying and overwhelming concepts of experience, showing moments of clarity in boundaries and simplified forms, juxtaposed against instances of tension or reflection in textures, repetition, and phrasing. These works build to consider our varied experiences and memories, and what shapes the enduring significance of one place or point in time.
Georgia Hill is an Australian artist, specialising in contemporary, often site-specific based artworks that combine bold, monochromatic textures and lettering within experimental compositions.
Using a range of mediums, her instantly recognisable aesthetic can be read in terms of connections, relationships, time, place and community. Over the past four years, Hill’s works have developed from smaller exhibition works to large-scale installations that explore how structures and our natural environments are vital in allowing experiences to exist and develop from one physical context to another. Constantly on the road, Hill’s current gallery practice reflects her personal experience of moving fast then slow, continuously juxtaposing landscapes, and bold impressions of the physical and mental spaces our experiences come to exist in.
Hill’s works have spanned galleries, inner-city walls and even 400ft abandoned buildings in countries including India, New Zealand, Iceland, The United States, Canada, Japan, Indonesia, and across Australia.

World renowned contemporary urban artist Mysterious Al presents walk-through interactive art experience in a disused warehouse in Melbourne.
Following successful art exhibitions in London, Sydney and Los Angeles, Mysterious Al is back in Melbourne for his solo show: ‘Blinking into the Sunlight’, opening Friday 24th May 6pm – 9pm.
Rising to fame in the early 2000s in the UK, with the emergence of street-art alongside D*Face and Word to Mother, Mysterious Al has worked with Vans, Yahoo!, Carhartt, Volvo and Levi’s, even creating custom designed shoes with Adidas.
After the controversial backlash to his ‘Amy Winehouse – Bride of Frankenstein’, a chance encounter with some African masks at a London museum gave the artist new-found inspiration;
“I was desperate for a piss so popped into the museum to find a toilet. I went the wrong way and ended up in a room full of African masks. These crazy dudes were simple and crudely made yet they had so much character and expression. It was a time in my life when I was feeling lost and trapped within my work, and the vibe of these masks gave me a newfound energy. I made my first mask painting that night.” – Says Al.
Mysterious Al is returning to his roots to create an unforgettable, one weekend-only exhibition showing brand new canvases and installations.
His new solo exhibition will showcase over 30 new works through an experiential journey from darkness to light.
‘Blinking into the Sunlight’ is open to the public Friday 24th to Sunday 26th May at 16-20 Langridge St, Collingwood, VIC.
As a small commercial gallery, they do not receive funding from government arts grants, nor do they have the support from another commercial business. In most cases galleries rely on one or the other for funding due to the volatile nature of the industry.
Backwoods’ unique situation means the gallery relies on sales from exhibitions to rent the space, run projects, workshops, produce exhibitions, pay wages and more. The reality of hands-on collaboration with their artists and community has helped them forge strong and long-lasting relationships all the artists with whom they work, all of which they consider to be good friends, as well as their community of friends and collectors.
Backwoods Gallery only exhibits artists they really believe in, have relationships with, and who are a part of their community, such as Minna Leunig, Shohei Otomo, Reka, Twoone, Roa, Fintan Magee, Georgia Hill and more. They are dedicated to working, developing and growing with the artists they represent to ensure long-lasting, professional relationships.
Due to rising overheads, the gallery requires significant financial assistance to run smoothly. To meet these ongoing challenges they have planned an annual fundraiser which aims to take the pressure off day-to-day operations to allow them to continue to produce great exhibitions.
The online fundraiser auction will feature significant artworks from artists they’ve worked with closely over the past 9 years. The artworks will be hung in a special weekend exhibition at the gallery, with all funds raised going to help pay overheads for the space.
The exhibition will run from the 24th to the 26th May, and will be a silently auctioned online, open to all collectors and guests both locally and internationally.
Backwoods Gallery first annual fundraiser auction
Opening Night: Friday May 24th from 6-10pm.
Auction open Friday 24th, 6pm AEST – Sunday 26th, 6pm AEST
Following the international debut of their new short film, High Power, at Hong Hong’s Mahka Gallery as part of Business of Design Week, Guerrilla Theatre Brand (GTB) are brought their critically acclaimed movie back to Melbourne for its Australian premiere.
GTB is the brainchild of Paul Stam, who did away with the traditional constraints of the catwalks with his innovative 360-degree approach to art and fashion. Creating a mythical, multi-layered narrative, chronicling visions of the future, Stam collaborates with local artists to interpret the various verses in each chapter into clothing, before bringing his character’s journey to life through film, art and fashion.
Chapter 2, High Power, finds the story’s protagonist Guerri – a hybrid human with powers that allow him to travel into other realities – who, with his spirit guide, Soph, is battling a malevolent entity intent on consuming humanity using our own technology against us.
Paul Stam explains: “It was important to match each artist’s style to what is happening in their verse – we wanted each artist to bring their own unique point of view and aesthetic, and to truly showcase their talents as they brought the story to life.”
For Chapter 2, GTB collaborated with local artists Gareth Stehr – aka dirtsqid, Samantha Darling – aka Marian Machismo, Ryan Ady Putra, Chris Drummond, Sam Octigan, Sean Morris, Fikos Antonios and Chehehe.
Each range is shaped by the story, taking luxury streetwear to a new level as wearable art, which is all designed and manufactured in Melbourne. Some of the key pieces of the collection include a limited-edition hand-beaded velvet kimono and a made-to order leather biker jacket covered with 1,000 hand-cut crystal stone spikes. These highlights complement streetwear staples, including printed tees, hoodies and reversible bomber jackets.
To celebrate the premiere of their short film, GTB teamed up with 42below, Patron, COMMUNE Group, AFC Curated, SoHigh Gallery and Alice-D Magazine to throw a party where Chapter 2, HIGHER POWER was showcased. Set to the beats of SUNSHINE and PHILLIPS HEAD.
In homage to the film that launched a thousand street art careers, Rough Trade Books is releasing They Live: A Cultural & Visual Awakening – a 30 year anniversary publication in homage to John Carpenter’s classic cult film: THEY LIVE!
The book includes an essay from the author that connects the dots between They Live and Brandalism alongside a critical analysis of contemporary forms of propaganda today. The book also contains a host of written and visual contributions from renowned figures including Shephard Fairey, Slavoj Zizek, Guerrilla Girls, Barbara Kruger, John Grant and Roger Luckhurst.
In partnership with Mondo/Death Waltz Recording Co, a special edition version of the book has also been created and is being sold exclusively at screenings taking place in London, Los Angeles, New York and Austin,Texas on Wednesday 16th January. This special edition will be housed in a slipcase, and includes a signed and numbered money bill. Strictly limited to 750 copies worldwide.

Organic farming is a rewarding and environmentally-friendly approach to agriculture that promotes the use of natural methods and avoids synthetic chemicals. Whether you’re a gardening enthusiast or a novice with a passion for sustainable living, starting your own organic farm can be a fulfilling journey. This article serves as a comprehensive guide for beginners, providing essential steps and tips to help you embark on your organic farming adventure.
1.Understand the Principles of Organic Farming
Before delving into organic farming, it’s crucial to grasp the fundamental principles that guide this agricultural practice. Organic farming aims intends to work with nature instead of against it. Key principles include:
a) Avoid synthetic chemicals:
Organic farmers refrain from using synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
b) Prioritizing soil health:
Building healthy soil through composting, cover cropping, and crop rotation is central to organic farming.
c) Promoting biodiversity:
Organic farms encourage diverse plant and animal species to support natural pest control and ecosystem balance.
2.Choose the Right Location
Selecting the ideal location for your organic farm is vital. Consider factors, for example, environment, soil type, water accessibility, and vicinity to business sectors. Access to sunlight is crucial for plant growth, so choose an area with adequate exposure.
3.Plan Your Crops and Layout
Create a detailed plan for the crops you wish to grow. Research the specific needs and growing conditions of each plant, and choose compatible crops to maximize space and resources. An efficient layout minimizes water and resource wastage while promoting pollination and natural pest control.
4.Prepare the Soil
Healthy soil is the foundation of organic farming. Test your soil’s pH and nutrient levels to understand its composition. Amend the soil with organic matter like compost, aged manure, and organic fertilizers to enhance fertility and structure.
5.Practice Crop Rotation
Crop rotation is a critical technique in organic farming to prevent soil depletion and control pests and diseases naturally. Rotate crops from different plant families to minimize the risk of soil-borne pathogens and maintain soil nutrient balance.
6.Implement Natural Pest Control
Encourage beneficial insects, birds, and other wildlife that prey on pests to naturally control insect populations. Utilize companion planting to repel pests and attract beneficial organisms. If pest populations grow, use organic pest control methods like neem oil, diatomaceous earth, or garlic spray.
7.Composting and Recycling
Composting is a cornerstone of organic farming, converting kitchen and garden waste into nutrient-rich compost. This compost can be used to enrich the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and completing the nutrient cycle.
Conserving water is essential in organic farming. Utilize drip irrigation, mulching, and rainwater harvesting to minimize water usage and prevent soil erosion.
Control weeds manually through hand weeding or use organic mulch to suppress weed growth. Mulching not only reduces weed competition but also conserves soil moisture.
10.Monitor and Adapt
Regularly monitor your organic farm for changes in plant health, pest infestations, and soil conditions. Adapt your farming practices accordingly, continuously learning and evolving to optimize your farm’s sustainability.
Organic farming for beginners may seem daunting, but with dedication, knowledge, and a willingness to work in harmony with nature, it can be a fulfilling and rewarding endeavor. By adhering to the principles of organic farming, planning your crops thoughtfully, maintaining soil health, and practicing natural pest control, you can create a sustainable and environmentally-friendly farm that produces healthy, chemical-free produce. Embrace the journey of organic farming and contribute to a more resilient and greener future for our planet.
