From banning the sale of exotic pythons to increasing graduation standards for high school students, more than 150 new state laws take effect today.
TALLAHASSEE — From banning the sale of exotic pythons to increasing graduation standards for high school students, more than 150 new state laws take effect today.
The new laws represent more than half of the work the 2010 Legislature did in its spring session, when lawmakers passed 274 bills — although Gov. Charlie Crist ended up vetoing 18 of them.
Some of the bills become law when the governor signs them. Some have specific enactment dates, with the start of the state fiscal year on July 1 being the most common date. However, other laws can take effect later, such as Oct. 1, or the start of next year. And some laws have multiple dates when they take effect.
Some of this year’s most controversial bills never became law, with Crist exercising his veto power to reject a bill that would have done away with job protections for public school teachers and another measure requiring women to get an ultrasound exam if they are having an abortion.
Here are some of the major bills that will take effect today:
Lawmakers have increased the graduation standards for high school students (SB 4). Students, over the next few years, will be required to take tougher math and science classes in order to earn their diplomas.
The state will be cracking on the ownership and sale of exotic reptiles, including pythons, anacondas and Nile monitors. (SB 318)
It will be harder to sue businesses for “slip and fall” accidents. (HB 689)
Lawmakers raised the standards for the popular Bright Futures college scholarship program. Students will have to get slightly higher SAT and ACT scores in order to qualify for the program that pays part of their tuition. The scholarships will cover few classes and students will only be able to use the scholarships for five years, rather than the current seven. (HB 5201)
Middle school students will have to take one semester in civics education in order to move on to high school. But the requirement will not impact students until the 2012-13 school year. (HB105)
School boards, administrators and teachers will be prohibited from taking action, such as entering an agreement, that interferes with the First Amendment rights of school staff and students. The law was a response to a Santa Rosa County incident where the school board reached an agreement with the ACLU to ban teachers from holding prayers at school events. (HB31)
Homeowners who are forced to sell their homes in a “short sale” will get a tax break. They will only owe tax on the amount of the actual short sale, not including the full amount of debt owed on the home. (HB 109)
Condominium owners will see a number of changes under a law that repeals the requirement that individual owner purchase insurance coverage. The law eases some retrofitting requirements for new sprinkler systems for some older condominiums and allows homeowner associations to evict a renter if the unit owner is not paying the association fees. The bill also allows associations to decide where flagpoles can be erected and if they can be lighted. (SB 1196)
The limits on poker played at local dog tracks, frontons and horse tracks has been lifted. It will mean that higher stakes games, which will also be available at the Seminole casinos, can now be played. (SB 622)

Something was wrong with Justin. His tutor, Edwin, noticed it the moment the 7-year-old boy walked into the church. He was quiet and subdued and barely returned his favorite tutor’s hug. Even at lunch, Justin sat quietly.
“Since Justin’s family have very few resources, I know that he is always excited to eat his meal in the center,” says Edwin. “Although this time, he didn’t even touch the food.”
Edwin sat next to Justin, and slowly the boy’s story began to spill out. The night before, his parents had had a huge fight that ended in his father leaving the family. Little Justin and his siblings were reeling, missing their father and afraid for the future.
Estefany, another staff member at the child development center, overheard Justin’s heartbreaking story. She hurried off to a stack of sponsor letters that had just arrived, flipping through until a smile spread across her face.
Justin had a letter from his sponsor!
Estefany sat next to Justin and Edwin and asked the little boy if he knew how to read. Justin shook his head no.
“I told him that I was going to read the letter for him, so I began reading out loud, though I never imagine the words that came in that letter until I was reading them,” says Estefany. “We were all astonished.”
“Hello my handsome boy,” began the letter.
Justin lifted up his head and opened his eyes in wonder. “Hello,” he said back.
“I hope you and your family are well. But, before I continue my letter to you, can you do me one favor?” continued the letter. “Yes!” said Justin.
“Can you close your eyes (and, I will close mine),” Justin’s sponsor wrote.
Justin closed his eyes and smiled in silence as he followed his sponsor’s instructions through the voice of Estefany.

A Hearing Test Could Detect Autism in Babies
A new study has found that a hearing test in babies might help to diagnose autism earlier in childhood. As many parents are well aware, the signs and symptoms of autism often don't show until the toddler age or older, and it can be difficult for some children to get properly diagnosed. And, as is the case with many different health conditions, the earlier the diagnosis the better the outcomes might be for the child, because parents and caregivers can adjust to the new condition and get connected with resources and therapies that can help.
So how does a study on hearing tests in babies connect to autism? Well, according to the study that appeared in the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association in January 2019, the study was based on the knowledge that individuals with autism have sensory processing and/or structural changes in their brain that alter how they hear sounds. As the study explains, high-functioning children with ASD have been found to have significantly slower and asymmetric auditory brainstem reflexes, as well as significantly fewer neurons in auditory nuclei.
What does that mean exactly? It means that a lot of children with autism have hearing issues that range from deafness to being extra-sensitive to sounds, which can then cause additional stress, especially if the autism hasn't been diagnosed yet and neither the child nor the parent knows what's going on.
Knowing that those with autism have different auditory (sound) processing, the researchers theorized that doctors could look more closely at hearing tests in babies as a potential early screening tool for autism.
As you may know, all babies already do receive hearing screens, but this study was new in that it thought to use those hearing screens for more than just testing a baby's ear function. Sometime after a baby is born, and before they are discharged from the hospital, they will undergo a mandatory hearing test as part of the routine newborn tests that all babies receive. However, those hearing screens aren't really analyzed deeply or used for anything more than a “pass” or “fail” result. And at times, they can be difficult to carry out, especially if the infant was just born or underwent a C-section, as there may be more fluid in the baby's ears. The point is, the hearing screens are pretty much just used to determine if your baby can hear or not, but nothing more than that and this study hoped to put the hearing screens that are already being done to further use to diagnose autism.
The study's authors proposed using a specific type of testing called acoustic, or stapedial reflex testing, which measures pressure changes in the middle ear of a baby as it responds to different frequencies. How the baby responds can provide doctors with more information about any potential hearing problems that could point to early signs of autism. They suggested using the testing as early as the first week of the baby's life for earlier detection.
Unfortunately, although it is tempting to think testing for autism could be as simple as a hearing test in babies–and hopefully maybe someday it will be–for now, hearing tests may be used as just one step in the diagnostic process. Many children who have autism will have hearing problems, but not all children with hearing problems will also have autism, so a hearing test could only serve as a sign to parents and doctors to keep an eye out for any additional signs that autism may be present. Additionally, hearing screens that show that there could be a hearing problem could have additional benefits if they lead to therapy for the child, as other studies have shown that interventions that focus on vocalizations and auditory training can help improve brainstem responses in children with ASD, as well as behavioral responses.
According to the study, autism is incredibly common in children, with 1 in 36 children (and affecting more boys than girls) having some form of ASD (autism sensory disorder). With autism so common, it is more important than ever to do everything we can to ensure that all individuals with autism get the highest quality of life available, which, in many cases, involves early diagnosis and intervention.

Just days after losing Tomas Vokoun indefinitely to blood clotting issues, the Penguins added journeyman goalie Jeff Deslauriers to the mix, signing him to a professional tryout with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Deslauriers, 29, spent last season with the Minnesota Wild organization.
A highly-touted draftee — Edmonton took him 31st overall in 2002, the fourth goalie taken after Kari Lehtonen, Cam Ward and Hannu Toivonen — Deslauriers has failed to make much of an impact at the NHL level.
His best season came in 2009-10, when he appeared in a career-high 48 games and, dubiously, led the NHL in losses (with 28).
The deal with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is a return of sorts — Deslauriers played for the Penguins in 2006-07 as Edmonton didn’t have an AHL affiliate at the time.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, Deslauriers hasn’t played in the NHL since the 2011-12 season, when he played in four games for Anaheim.

The amount of people in Australia who were seeing multiple health professionals for the same condition increased in 2019/20, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
The results of a survey of patient experiences were released today (Monday, November 16) by ABS and it revealed that the proportion of people throughout the country seeing three or more health professionals for the same condition had increased over the past year.
ABS health statistics spokesperson, Robert Long, confirmed that 16.6 percent of people saw three or more health professionals for the same condition over the past year compared to 15.1 percent in 2018/19 - a 1.5 percent increase.
He stated: “Of these people, around seven in ten people (71.9 percent) reported that at least one health professional helped coordinate their care, and only 14.3 percent reported issues caused by a lack of communication between health professionals.”
The survey also showed that GPs are the most frequently seen medical professionals by patients.
“More than eight in ten people (83.2 percent) saw a GP at least once, similar to last year (82.8 percent).
“As you would expect, older people (85 years and over) were more likely to see a GP (98.3 percent) than those aged 15 to 24 years (70.9 percent).”
The survey also showed that people with long-term health conditions were more likely to see a GP than those without a long-term condition.
Results also stated that there was a two percent increase with Australians delaying or not seeing a dental professional when needed compared to last year.
Mr Long said: “This could be related to restrictions imposed in response to COVID-19, with dental services affected during the pandemic.
“Although the survey did not explicitly ask about the impacts of COVID-19, it is possible that the impact of COVID-19 restrictions contributed to an increase in people reporting ‘Other’ as the main reason they did not see a dental professional when needed (11.0 percent compared to 8.2 percent in 2018-19).”

Osama bin Laden's guns found 'only after' US Navy Seals killed him --AP revelation fuels claims al-Qaida chief was illegally executed 17 May 2011 The American soldiers who killed Osama bin Laden 'found' his two guns only after he was dead, while they photographed his remains, according to a detailed new account of the al-Qaida leader's final moments. The Associated Press revelation will add further fuel for critics who say US forces acted illegally in killing the unarmed Saudi fugitive. Controversy over the manner of Bin Laden's death has dogged the White House since 2 May, especially after early claims that Bin Laden had been armed and used one of his wives as a human shield proved to be false. The only witnesses who could contradict the US account are Bin Laden's three wives and children, who are currently in Pakistani custody.

Softball Shooting for Third Consecutive Trip to the World Series
This goal is simple: a third consecutive trip to the College World Series.
Following back-to-back appearances in softball's ultimate venue, California enters the 2001 season eager to maintain its high standard of excellence. The Golden Bears return all but one starter from last year's team, and head coach Diane Ninemire has the squad focused and ready to make the goal a reality.
'We have veteran team this year,' said Ninemire who is in her 14th season as the head coach of the Bears. 'We are solid from 1-9, and this is the first time that we have had such depth in our pitching staff. We have four outstanding pitchers that we can go to at any time. There shouldn't be many surprises since everyone knows where they fit on this team. They know where they fall in the lineup, and they know their respective roles.'
Even with such depth on the 2001 squad, the wins are not gong to come easily.
'We are playing one of the toughest schedules in the country,' Ninemire said. 'We play anyone and everyone this year, and that makes it hard. We play in many of the elite tournaments before conference action even begins, and then have to go right into Pac-10 games.'
The schedule has Cal traveling to Georgia twice, the first time for the elite 24-team NFCA Leadoff Classic in Columbus, and the other for the Georgia Tech Buzz Classic in Atlanta. The Bears also make trips to Las Vegas for the UNLV Tournament, Fullerton (Easton Showcase Tournament), Sacramento, (Capital Classic) and finally back to Sunnyvale, (National Invitation Softball Tournament).
Last season, the Bears finished with a 49-25 record, beating Fresno State in the NCAA regional final to earn a spot in the World Series. Unfortunately, Cal dropped its first two games in Oklahoma City to make an early departure from the tournament. Still, the Bears ended the year ranked seventh in the country.
The biggest task for Ninemire this season will be to replace Lisa Iancin, a four-year starter at second base and first team All-Pac-10 selection. Even without her in the lineup for the upcoming season, Cal still manages to return five players who garnered postseason honors. Paige Bowie, the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA regional, returns for her senior season, along with pitchers Jocelyn Forest and Nicole DiSalvio, who were also on the regional all-tournament team. Third baseman Candice Harper, who earned second team All-Pac-10 and All-Pacific Region honors, returns for her junior campaign. Last season's freshman sensation, Veronica Nelson, was voted honorable mention All-Pac-10 on her way to shattering the NCAA season walk record (87) and the Cal season home run record (14).
Below is a position-by-position look at the 2001 Cal softball team.
Adding to the mix of quality pitchers is sophomore Kourtney Davis, who transferred from the 2000 NCAA champion Oklahoma. Cal recruited Davis, a native of Reno, Nev., out of high school, where she was a prep All-American, but she chose to attend Oklahoma instead. This season, she adds more Division I pitching experience to an already potent staff.
'Kourtney has been a pleasant surprise,' said Ninemire. 'If she steps up to her capabilities, she is going to be a tremendous boost to our team.'
Fresh off of a trip to the Sydney Olympics as a member of the Italian team, DiSalvio is 47-31 in three seasons with Cal. She brings big-game experience and the necessary leadership to the field for her senior campaign. Not only can she start and go the distance, as she proved last season with eight complete-game shutouts, but she also holds the Cal career record with eight saves.
Always a clutch performer, she earned a pair of key wins at the end of last season when the Bears needed them most. First, she blanked Arizona State, 1-0, on the final weekend of the regular season, then she shut down Fresno State, 2-0, in the championship game of the NCAA regional.
Forest enters her third season as a starter in the circle for the Bears in the best health of her career. Hampered by a sore shoulder that eventually required surgery, she managed to win 24 games as a freshman. Last year, Forest was limited by a hip injury the second half of the season, yet still produced 23 victories, including three in the NCAA regional.
'Jocelyn may have worked the hardest of all in the offseason,' said Ninemire. 'She is focused this year and has set some lofty goals, not only for herself, but for the team as well.'
Deering rounds out the impressive and experienced 2001 pitching staff. She was undefeated with a 9-0 record and a 1.62 ERA in 19 games as a freshman, including seven relief appearances. A good all-around athlete, Deering also played with the Cal women's basketball team this past season.
Iancin's departure has caused the infield to be shaken up a bit, but Ninemire believes the Bears will be well off with two players changing positions to fill the void. Junior Eryn Manahan, Cal's shortstop last year, will convert to second base, while senior Paige Bowie moves from the outfield to shortstop.
'Eryn covers her position very well,' said Ninemire. 'We miss Lisa, but Eryn will do a fine job there.'
A four-year guard on the basketball team, Bowie has come to the softball team late the past three seasons and has been an important piece to the outfield puzzle. This year, without the commitment to basketball, Bowie has had the entire offseason to hone her skills at shortstop, her primary position as a first team all-state player at Clovis West High School in Fresno.
'Paige came to us and suggested that she was ready to dedicate herself to make the transition to shortstop,' said Ninemire. 'She is a great leader and enjoys the challenges.'
Sophomore Veronica Nelson and junior Candice Harper round out the corner positions on the diamond. A hard-hitting first baseman from San Leandro, Nelson is an offensive threat by trade. She set the Cal season home run record last year by knocking out 14 homers and adding 42 RBI on her way to a .314 batting average. With a top offensive threat hitting behind her, her offensive capabilities may show even more.
And Harper just might be able to provide that needed protection. A two-year starter at third base, Harper covers her territory well and has batted over .300 the past two years. In addition to her hitting abilities, she is a sure-handed fielder who did not commit an error in Cal's last 22 games.
A defensive specialist behind the plate, Courtney Scott enters 2001 with a full year of experience in teaming up with the Bears pitching staff. A sophomore from Clovis, Scott made an immediate impact last season as the full-time catcher, starting all 74 games and throwing out 19 would-be base stealers.
'Courtney has a great arm, and on top of that, she calls a great game,' said Ninemire.
'I have the utmost confidence in the outfielders this season,' said Ninemire. 'We are fast and communicate well.'
Dueï¿½as started all 74 games for the Bears last season, mostly in left field. In addition, she serves as a backup to Scott behind the plate and can play the infield if called upon. A career .198 hitter prior to last season, Dueï¿½as batted a career-high .260 last year. She has worked even harder during this offseason and expects to become an even greater offensive threat for the Bears.
Phillips had a nagging hip injury that sidelined her for 14 games towards the end of last season. For her senior campaign, Philips hopes to stay injury free and put up offensive numbers similar to 1999, when she batted .294 with a team-high seven home runs and 23 RBI.
As a redshirt-freshman, Morley started 56 games last year either in the outfield or as the DP. Her .295 average ranked fourth on the squad. While mostly patrolling right field, Morley recorded 26 putouts and did not commit an error. With another year of experience under her belt, she is sure to be a mainstay in the outfield for Cal.
According to Ninemire, Mikella Pedretti has great potential to become the starting DP for the Bears and a backup in the outfield, as well. She has had some back problems in the past, but as long as she can stay healthy, she will compete for a spot in the lineup.
Freshmen Katie Andrew and Danielle Setiawan should also add depth in the outfield, in addition to adding speed on the base paths.

The coastal climate of Southern California plays a great part in maintaining an abundant variety of flowers and plants all year long. For many horticulturists and avid gardeners, the area is often considered to be a paradise. For locals, there are many places that can help begin a gardening plan of their own or even an day of enjoying the beautiful botanical gardens that are maintained by local organizations. Here are the top locations for botanical gardens in Orange County.
1900 Associated Road
Fullerton, CA 92831
Located on close to 26 acres of land owned by California State University in Fullerton is the the gardens of the Fullerton Arboretum. Open daily from 8am to 4:30pm, there are seasonal extended hours for the month of June to 8pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The history and the creation of the arboretum dates back to the early 70s when faculty members and students of Orange State College (now California State University, Fullerton) along with the help of doctors David Walkington and Eugene Jones began the creation of the arboretum. It was in the earlier part of 1972 that the Friends of the Fullerton Arboretum was formed and with the formation of the non-profit organization, a license was raised and the future to develop the arboretum was brought into reality. The location now has collections of plant beds, museum exhibits, tours, gardens and databases for those interested in knowing more about the collections over the years. Special events are also held every year that range from the Green Scene in April, to the Haunted Garden in October and the Victorian Christmas for the holidays. Tours are available with reservations for those interested and available to book online or over the phone.
Sherman Library and Gardens
2647 E. Coast 5
Corona Del Mar, CA 92625
This 2.2-acre land in Corona Del Mar is considered a horticultural retreat to many. The gardens, patios and conservatories are just part of what this location has to offer. One can also enjoy the museum of living plants in the immaculate setup that is the Sherman Library & Gardens. That span of the collection of plans come from a wide range around the globe. They include exotic vegetation to plants from desert regions. The tranquil environment is a nice setting for those who are interesting in horticulture. The area also has a Cafe Jardin, a restaurant located in full view of the central flowers of the gardens.
University of California, Irvine
Irvine, CA 92660
In the late 1960s, the UCI Arboretum was created as a plant growing facility for the purpose of research and teaching. It is the school of Biological Sciences that administers the arboretum and is currently on a 12.5-acre botanical garden. It features plants from the local community and has an extensive collection of South African species. The location is the only site on campus where "common garden" experiments are allowed to be conducted. There are special collections of plants that range from Baja California, the California Channel Islands, Mojave Desert, Oak woodland and Aloe gardens. There is a strong emphasis on the plant communities located in the Irvine area.
Friends Hortense Miller Garden

The molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in the Pityusic Islands shows multiple introductions and fast replacements of variants in a touristic worldwide hot spot. Sci Rep. 2023 Oct 23;13(1):18053.
The public health emergency caused by the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020 encouraged worldwide initiatives to monitor the genetic diversity and features of the SARS-CoV-2 circulating variants, mainly based on the genomic surveillance. However, due to the impossibility to carry out extensive sequencing in resource-limited hospitals, other PCR-based strategies could be applied to efficiently monitor the circulating variants without the need to greatly expand the sequencing capacity. In our case, overpassing the technical limitations inherent to a second level hospital, we were able to characterize the weekly distribution of SARS-CoV-2 by the RT-qPCR amplification patterns visualization, single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping, and sequencing of randomly selected samples. All these molecular approaches allowed us to trace the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 viruses circulating in Ibiza and Formentera (Balearic Islands, Spain) during the third to the sixth pandemic waves (January 2021-July 2022), in which three major lineages that were considered as VOCs (Alpha, Delta, and Omicron), and many other non-VOC variants were detected and tracked.

Organic Acids For Fungal Infections
Organic acids have shown promising results in combating fungal infections in bees. These compounds are naturally occurring and can be found in various sources, including fermented foods such as apple cider vinegar and bee supplements like propolis. Organic acids work by creating an acidic environment that inhibits the growth of fungi while also promoting healthy bacterial populations.
One organic acid that has been extensively studied is formic acid. This acid is produced naturally by honeybees as a defense against varroa mites but has also shown efficacy against fungal pathogens such as Aspergillus flavus and Nosema spp. However, formic acid must be used with caution as it can cause harm to both bees and humans if not handled properly.
Other organic acids worth exploring include acetic acid (found in vinegar) and lactic acid (found in yogurt). Further research is needed to determine the optimal dosage and application methods for these compounds to effectively combat fungal infections while minimizing any potential adverse effects on bee health.
Incorporating natural remedies such as organic acids into beekeeping practices presents a sustainable alternative to synthetic chemicals traditionally used to treat bee diseases. With proper care and management, organic acids derived from fermented foods or bee supplements could help promote healthier colonies while reducing reliance on harmful pesticides.
As researchers continue to investigate the benefits of these substances, incorporating them into existing treatment plans may prove beneficial for overall hive health and productivity.
Probiotics For Gut Health
The potential impact of probiotics on gut health is an area of increasing interest.
Studies have suggested that the use of probiotics can help to improve the functionality of the gut, resulting in improved overall health.
It is important to understand the benefits of probiotics, the different types available, and their sources in order to maximize the potential benefits.
Probiotics are a promising natural remedy for bee gut health and immunity.
Probiotics for pollinators can help maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut, which is crucial for overall health and disease prevention.
The benefits of probiotics include improved digestion and absorption of nutrients, increased resistance to pathogens, and reduced inflammation.
Research has shown that supplementing honeybee diets with probiotics may reduce the incidence of certain infections such as American foulbrood and chalkbrood.
Furthermore, studies have indicated that some strains of Lactobacillus found in honeybees’ guts exhibit antimicrobial properties against common bee pathogens such as Paenibacillus larvae.
Incorporating probiotics into beekeeping practices could potentially enhance colony survival rates by promoting robust immune systems in bees.
As researchers continue to investigate the potential benefits of probiotics for pollinators, it is becoming increasingly clear that these supplements hold significant promise for improving bee health and productivity.
Different Types Of Probiotics
As bee disease researchers, we are constantly exploring ways to enhance the health and productivity of our beloved pollinators.
Among potential remedies for maintaining gut health in bees, probiotics have emerged as a promising option.
However, not all probiotic strains are created equal when it comes to supporting bee gut health.
Different types of probiotics offer varying benefits depending on their specific strain and how they interact with the bee’s microbiome.
As such, identifying effective probiotic strains that support bee gut health is crucial in developing successful interventions towards improving colony survival rates.
Sources Of Probiotics
As bee disease researchers, we are constantly exploring new ways to support the health and productivity of our important pollinators.
Probiotics have shown great potential in maintaining gut health in bees, but it’s not just about finding any probiotic strain – we need to identify the most effective ones that work with the bee’s microbiome.
One way to do this is by looking at sources of probiotics, such as fermented foods or microbial supplements.
By studying these sources, we can determine which strains are beneficial for bee gut health and potentially develop interventions to improve colony survival rates.
Plant-Based Solutions For Nosema
Probiotics have been found to be a promising solution for improving the gut health of bees. However, there are other natural remedies that can help with common bee diseases.
Plant extracts and herbal supplements have shown potential in treating Nosema, which is caused by a spore-forming microsporidian parasite. Plant extracts such as thyme oil and cinnamon extract have antimicrobial properties that could potentially treat Nosema.
Herbal supplements like propolis and echinacea may also boost the immune system of bees and aid in fighting off infections. Some studies suggest that feeding bees a mixture of plant-based essential oils may reduce the severity of Nosema infection.
Overall, research on using plant-based solutions for Nosema is still ongoing, but initial results show promise in these natural remedies as an alternative treatment option. As we continue to explore different ways to support bee health, it’s important to consider natural options that align with sustainable practices and promote overall well-being for both bees and their environment.
Beekeeping Best Practices For Preventing Disease
Preventive Measures are crucial in maintaining the health of bee colonies. It is important to implement a sustainable beekeeping approach that minimizes stress on the bees and maximizes their natural resistance against diseases. The following table outlines some best practices for preventing common bee diseases:
|Regular hive inspections||Inspect hives every two weeks during peak season, looking out for signs of disease or pests|
|Hygienic management||Clean equipment regularly with hot soapy water, use clean gloves and tools when working with bees|
|Healthy nutrition||Provide high-quality pollen and nectar sources year-round, supplement diet if necessary|
|Monitoring mite levels||Monitor Varroa mite populations using sticky boards, drone brood assessments or alcohol washes|
|Responsible medication usage||Use medications only as a last resort when other methods have failed, avoid unnecessary antibiotic use|
These measures should be implemented together to create an effective strategy for preventing bee diseases. Sustainable Beekeeping practices also play a role in reducing stress on the bees. This includes providing suitable living conditions such as adequate ventilation and shelter from extreme weather conditions. Additionally, it is recommended to limit transportation of beehives to reduce exposure to unfamiliar environments which can cause undue stress on the colony.
By adopting these preventive measures along with sustainable beekeeping techniques, we can mitigate the incidence of bee diseases while ensuring healthy honeybee colonies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are The Most Effective Chemical Treatments For Bee Diseases?
What are the most effective chemical treatments for bee diseases?
As a researcher in this field, it is important to consider all options available.

The earliest recognized Polish recipes for borscht, published by chefs catering to shine magnates (aristocrats), are from the late seventeenth century. Stanisław Czerniecki, head chef to Prince Aleksander Michał Lubomirski, integrated many borscht recipes in his Compendium ferculorum (A Collection of Dishes), the primary cookbook published at first in Polish, in 1682. They include things like these types of sour soups as lemon borscht and "royal borscht", the latter comprised of assorted dried, smoked or clean fish and fermented rye bran.
This was sooo superior! I designed it with zucchini & yellow squash, & collard greens in lieu of kale. I included some basil & oregano Along with the thyme, and am just now recognizing I forgot to include the lemon juice at the top.
Contrary to other kinds of borscht, It's not necessarily whitened with bitter product. Barszcz wigilijny, or Christmas Eve borscht, is really a variant of the distinct borscht that may be historically served over the Polish Xmas Eve supper. During this version, meat inventory is either omitted or replaced with fish broth, normally made by boiling the heads Minimize off from fish Employed in other Christmas Eve dishes. The mushrooms employed for cooking the mushroom broth are reserved for uszka (little loaded dumplings), that happen to be then served with the borscht.

In an interview Tuesday, newly appointed Spokane police Chief Craig Meidl offered an apology to the community for saluting Karl Thompson, the officer convicted of civil rights violations in the death of Otto Zehm, as Thompson was led from a federal courtroom.
Meidl also said he wants the City Council to confirm his appointment as chief. When he appointed Meidl Monday, Mayor David Condon said he would not immediately seek council confirmation, prompting outcry from some council members.
“There is no chief that wants to go into the community that is not supported by the mayor, the City Council or the community,” Meidl said. “If I’m going to step into this role, I want all of the support and confirmation that any other chief would get.”
Council President Ben Stuckart said council members have discussed the confirmation process among themselves and some have talked with Meidl. The council expects to have a solution reached by Thursday.
“Council’s really heard a lot of concerns about process and council’s heard concerns about the municipal code being followed and we’re working on a solution that works for all of council,” he said. He said he could not elaborate about what that solution would look like.
Condon’s spokesman, Brian Coddington, said he wasn’t aware of those discussions, but said, “The mayor always intended to go through the confirmation process, it was just a matter of timing.”
Condon’s surprise appointment of Meidl on Monday prompted pushback from some community members involved in the lengthy selection process for a new chief. Meidl did not apply for the chief’s job, repeatedly said he was not interested and was not one of the two finalists interviewed in July by panels of community leaders, police officers and other stakeholders.
Mary Ann Murphy, who chaired an advisory committee that collected community feedback and gave Condon recommendations on the search process and qualifications for a new chief, and Center for Justice director Rick Eichstaedt said Monday they disagreed strongly with the decision to appoint an officer involved in the Thompson salute absent an apology. In that 2011 incident, about 50 police officers saluted Thompson in a federal courtroom as bailiffs led him away.
Asked about these concerns Tuesday, Meidl first said he wanted to offer context to the salute. He spoke at length about the mood in the department after Thompson was charged and said many regular officers who were not involved in Zehm’s death felt no one was supporting them.
He reiterated an explanation for the salute he offered in December when he was appointed assistant chief, saying it was an instinctive response and was intended to honor Thompson’s long history of service as a Vietnam veteran and police officer, independent of his role in Zehm’s death.
“It was, in essence, our last chance that we were going to be able to see Karl Thompson before he was sent off to prison, and it was a gesture that had every intention of showing appreciation for his service, again, not a reflection on the conviction or what had occurred in this separate incident,” Meidl said.
He then offered an apology and said the department has learned its lesson from the salute.
“Absolutely, 100 percent, I apologize for the hurt and the pain that was created by this incident,” Meidl said. “It was not done with malice. It was not done to further any pain or hurt that was already caused by this incident … I apologize to the community and I’ve already apologized to the Zehm family but it was something we all learned from, absolutely.”
Meidl said he contributed some money to Thompson’s family following the conviction to help with expenses, but never visited Thompson in prison or attended any events held by other officers in support of Thompson. He also said he plans to meet with Eichstaedt and the Center for Justice to discuss their concerns.
City records provided to The Spokesman-Review after a public records request show the city has spent at least $25,000 to date on the police chief search process that began in late October when Condon first convened the Police Leadership Advisory Committee to provide input on the search process and ideal qualities for a chief.
That includes $16,877 paid to Strategic Government Resources, the consulting firm that conducted the initial search for a chief and narrowed candidates to semifinalists. The firm’s contract with the city authorizes expenses of up to $25,000. The city also paid Deep Creek Consulting $5,532 for help writing the PLAC’s report to Condon.
Other expenses include advertising for community forums for PLAC events, travel reimbursement and hotel expenses for committee member and Kennewick police Chief Ken Hohenberg, and hotel rooms for finalists. Several invoices, including airfare for police chief finalists to visit Spokane, have not been paid.
Murphy, who chaired the PLAC, criticized Condon’s appointment Monday, saying it “slapped the community in the face” by ignoring the months of volunteer work put in by her and other community members.
Coddington, the mayor’s spokesman, disagreed, saying the process “has informed the mayor’s thinking about how he should be evaluating candidates for the job.”
“As he discussed the candidates that were available with the community … there wasn’t a sense that they fit with what Spokane needed,” Coddington said, referring to the two finalists who were rejected for the job.
Following his appointment Monday, Meidl said his first priorities would be providing stability in the department’s leadership structure and tying up “hanging loose ends” from the Department of Justice review of the police department.
Due to vacancies created by former Chief Frank Straub’s departure and interim Chief Rick Dobrow’s retirement, a number of senior officers are serving in temporary, “out-of-grade” positions following promotions. Meidl said he intends to review those and make some permanent in the coming weeks.
“We need that stability. We’ve been without a CEO for too long,” he said.
He said a culture audit of the department is among the early projects he’d like to cross off the list. The city has nearly finalized an agreement with Gonzaga University to conduct the audit, which was recommended by both the Department of Justice and the Use of Force Commission.
Following that, Meidl said he wants to refocus the department on what he says should be its main priority – reducing crime.

AKG (Alpha Ketoglutaric Acid)(Alpha Ketoglutarate) is a ketone derivative of glutaric acid which is found naturally in the human body. It is not to be confused with AAKG which is a combination of Arginine and Alpha Ketoglutarate. Recently AKG has become the subject of many aging studies as it may act as a precursor for both Arginine and Nitric Oxide and may be more effective than AAKG It has a number of functions including acting as an intermediate step in the Krebs cycle, helping to form amino acids, transporting nitrogen, and acting as an antioxidant. While AKG plays many roles in the body, it is commonly supplemented by athletes to support athletic performance, and as a supplement to support healthy aging. This function has been established in multiple animal studies but there has yet to be any human trials to see if this benefit is also true for humans. Double Wood's AKG is, Manufactured in the USA, Non-Gmo, and Gluten Free. It contains 180 capsules and each serving is two 500mg capsules (1,000mg). This is enough AKG to last three full months if taken daily.

IMF pares back US growth forecast
The International Monetary Fund has pared back its growth forecast for the United States and warned the Obama administration could be slicing the deficit too fast for the weak economy.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde is not telling Americans anything they do not already know - that the US economic recovery remains tepid.
But she is also criticising president Barack Obama's proposed budget for next year, suggesting the federal budget could be cut by less than planned.
"We don't think it should be so frontloaded that it's going to act like a brake on the US economy," she said.
The global lender downgraded its US growth forecast to 2 per cent for this year and 2.3 per cent for next.
It pointed out that threats to the world's largest economy had intensified, both from the eurozone crisis and from America's own political gridlock on economic policy.

Provenance: Sir James Hurtle Fisher (1790-1875), 'one of the most important pioneers of South Australia', with his armorial bookplate on the front pastedown. His signature in pencil appears on an early blank, above an inscription in pencil in his hand: 'With JF's affectionate love & hoping that it will prove useful'. (The bookplate and inscription have a large ink X through them, and the culprit has written his name in the same pen under the inscription: William T. Pope, 1846-1923, a prominent Adelaide solicitor. The few small ink annotations on about a dozen pages are presumably his handiwork.) James Hurtle Fisher commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835.... [He] was selected as resident commissioner, one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act ... second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo", arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay, where the official oaths were administered, a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions, which were not shown to Governor [Sir] John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government, and more violently outside, and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other.... The new governor, George Gawler, was appointed both governor and resident commissioner, a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). Fisher returned to his profession, and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted.

“Shi’ites, who make up over a quarter of Pakistan’s population, are deemed “apostates” by many extremist sectarian Sunni groups. Responsibility for the attack on the long-suffering Hazaras of Baluchistan was claimed by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) — a group also suspected of a devastating attack earlier in the week on the home of a senior police officer in Karachi who has a record of taking on the militants. Though little known in the West, LeJ, a sectarian extremist outfit linked to al-Qaeda and to the Pakistani Taliban, is now widely considered Pakistan’s most dangerous terrorist group…….. The army is reluctant to confront its bases with force; the police have failed to protect those it threatens; the judiciary is unable to successfully prosecute its leading members; and some politicians have sought to appease it with shady deals. While al-Qaeda has suffered a series of setbacks after CIA drone strikes killed successive leaders based in Pakistan’s tribal areas, its local affiliate remains unimpeded. LeJ began life as a particularly vicious offshoot of the banned anti-Shi’ite Sipah-e-Sahaba organization. The sectarian group, with its cells seeded throughout the country, held both doctrinal and organizational appeal for al-Qaeda, which used LeJ’s deep and pervasive network to expand its own presence into Pakistan. While al-Qaeda had operational command, LeJ supplied foot soldiers to carry out attacks…………..”

Intel and AMD are both releasing smaller die processors that require less voltage to operate. With the decreased voltage comes less power comsumption, an obvious advantage. Both of these features mean that larger coolers are not needed. So why are today’s coolers getting bigger? In the past few months we have seen coolers that weigh in at a full 1000 grams before the installation of a fan. Today’s product doesn’t weigh quite 1000 grams, but even at 600 grams it’s no lightweight.
In today’s world of computer tweaking and overclocking, it is important to cool your ram in addition to the processor. The DuOrb from Thermaltake is capable of doing both. The DuOrb CPU cooler is based on the same design as the GPU cooler.
Basically, they took two cooler units and fuzed them together. Not only does it cool the processor, but also surrounding components like memory and chipsets. We know that Thermaltake makes some great coolers, but how does this new one stack up against units like the Ultra-120 and Scythe Ziphang?
Thermaltake’s take on the DuOrb
In the first sight of DuOrb CPU cooler, your eyes will be caught by this unique design and dual-color LED lights, red and blue. The patented design features two separate fin configurations bringing an unprecedented visual aspect. DuOrb CPU cooler is extended DuOrb design concept after DuOrb for VGA cooler, and both of them are getting lots of favorable reviews.

This week's State of the Game will be covering games released on Steam between the 12th and 18th of June this year. Compared to last week things are looking up slightly, most of which can be attributed to this week's top release. It's looking very likely that this slump will continue on for a few weeks to come as there haven't been any major releases on the platform recently. For now, though it seems we're in something of a mid-year slump akin to that of what we saw in the lead up to the holiday period last year, perhaps as folks were waiting for the summer sale.
Realm Grinder, originally released on Kongregate back in 2015, makes its debut on Steam during this week and managed to take out the top spot with ease. As time has gone on Realm Grinder has managed to grow its player base on Steam consistently, now averaging about double the concurrent players as it did during its release week. Whether these are purely new users or long timers making the switch to the Steam version is less clear, however, although it does appear that the Steam version is the better overall experience.
Looking at this week's top trending games there's some interesting data behind this week's top game, Hidden Folks. The developers released a large update on the 15th of June which did see a modest increase in active players. However it wasn't until 2 days later when they put the game on sale for a couple days, did they see the big jump which pushed them to the top of this chart. Just goes to show that whilst content updates are great, gamers on Steam are still very much motivated by sales. The content update then was a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for the game to attract a large number of new players.


Friday, 24 March: The major news to hit the wires today was Trump’s all-in gamble to overhaul the U.S. healthcare system. The President issued an ultimatum late last night to Republicans that they must pass the bill he is backing or keep in place the Obamacare law(2010 affordable Care Act), the very law Republicans have sought to dismantle since inception seven years ago. The House of Representatives is set to vote by 20.45 GMT(4.45pm ET) today, and it is looking to be a tougher task than Trump anticipated. The Democrats are unified in opposition, saying the bill would take away medical insurance from millions of Americans and leave the $3tn healthcare system in disarray. Markets in London looked to be struggling for direction(FTSE 100: -0.05%), whilst the S&P 500 shaped as if it would edge higher into the London close. The American market seemed somewhat soothed by Trump’s proclamation that he will apparently sweep the healthcare bill aside should it be defeated and concentrate on his proposed tax reform and infrastructure spending plan, the main concern for investors and the reflation trade.
The change of sentiment regarding the US economy has seen GBP/USD(+1.21%) strengthen over the last seven days, a similar pattern also manifested itself with the GBP/EUR(+0.82%) pair despite the triggering of Article 50 only days away. If you were feeling bullish regarding Brexit you may wish to stop reading – the UK’s spending watchdog has warned that hundreds of civil service jobs for Brexit negotiators remain vacant days before talks formally begin. It looks like it will be a rocky road ahead.
Across Europe, indices were mixed as the FTSE 100 closed -0.05%, the DAX 30 0.20%, and the CAC 40 -0.24%.
