A new share-the-wealth strategy by home furnishings chain West Elm may prove that one of the most effective ways to win shopper loyalty is by sending them elsewhere.
The Brooklyn-based merchant is inviting its shoppers to spend time and money with nearby artists and entrepreneurs to learn new skills and support the community. The limited-time project, which will begin April, promotes the merchant’s mission to champion community-based businesses. And in doing so, it’s promoting its own authenticity among key shopping segments.
“We’re transforming how we’re interacting with our customers, interacting with them outside the four walls of our store,” Mo Mullen, director of West Elm Local, told USA Today.
West Elm evidently has its ear to the wall regarding shopper soft spots. Seven in 10 consumers believe businesses are obligated to help improve issues that may not be relevant to their everyday operations, according to research by Cone Communications. More than three-quarters of Americans will shop with a brand based on its actions.
This means that selfless merchandising, which is what West Elm is promoting, requires the buy-in of the shopper. But so does loyalty, suggesting West Elm has tapped a vein that connects the two: Be loyal to us, they hint, and we’ll selflessly help your hardworking, local friends.
Buying (and Selling) Local
It’s not entirely selfless, of course, but West Elm, a branch of upscale kitchenware merchant Williams-Sonoma, is well practiced in stewardship. Its selection of modern furnishings, almost all of which is designed in-house, are described as organic, sustainably sourced and, since 2014, fair trade certified.
Community building is a cornerstone of its brand philosophy, according to its website: “We’re … committed to making a difference, both locally and globally. This means carrying products from local makers, empowering store managers to tailor their own inventory and improving the lives of the handcrafted artisans we work with.”
In 2013 West Elm introduced its Local program, through which West Elm’s U.S. stores each feature the goods of nearby makers. The program now includes about 800 such artisans, with a goal of reaching 1,000 by 2020.
Now through its Local Experiences program, West Elm is setting up workshops in five cities and sending local shoppers to visit the artisans and entrepreneurs there. Visitors can learn woodworking and make a tasting tray in Detroit, or participate in park sketches and a walk in the historic area of Charleston, S.C. The events are not free — they run $130 to $250 — but the fees help support the local providers.
All of these endeavors are designed so that West Elm shoppers can make positive change, meaning the brand basically assigns them an active role in its mission.
Learning From Toms, Kroger, REI
It’s a thoughtful strategy. When shoppers invest in a purpose through a brand, they are likely to become invested in the brand itself. It is a quality retailers should not underestimate, as technology gives consumers more control of their options and enables scrappy startups to better compete.
Here are three reasons why West Elm’s efforts are worth watching.
What these efforts have in common is they leave an imprint on the consumer wherever he or she goes. West Elm may send its shoppers elsewhere to learn how to weld, and REI may encourage people to spend more time outdoors and less in its store, but the essence of the brands linger with shoppers wherever they go. Those are connections that spread the wealth.

The longbow is not the piercing weapon, the arrow is and the example (in brackets) clearly shows this.
I believe this is where we disagree, I'd say something that fires a missile is the weapon, and the missile is just that. The missile.
I wouldn't consider a 7.62-bullet a weapon, but an AK47 I would. Same goes for bows and arrows. The size of the weapon is H, it imposes a -40% penalty.
When you start making all kinds of situational modifiers for this type of thing, where do you stop? OK, I'm shot with a longbow at long range, surely the velocity of the missile is now decreased, lessening it's impact, which should reduce the penalty for being impaled. At close range (or closer) by using modifiers, the penalty would be increased. It is a game, not an exercise in mathematics. When people try to over rationalise or try for too much realism, IMO, it creates layers of complexity that are simply not needed.
I agree, luckily just taking the Size of the weapon solves this, so a short bow is L, a longbow is H and an arbalest is E. That corresponds to a -30% ; -40% and a -50% penalty.
Either way, the argument that using impale as a valuable debuff on range still stands, even just a -10% cumulative penalty is pretty useful.

Werder Bremen goalkeeper Tim Wiese has signed a new contract with an unnamed club for next season.
He had recently revealed that he will be leaving on a Bosman free transfer at the end of the campaign and has now explained that he has found a new employer.
But the Germany international has not disclosed the identity of the club, or whether the club is even in his homeland or not.
Schalke were thought to be one of the side's chasing the 30-year-old but they have since distanced themselves from making a move.
Wiese has made 24 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, keeping five clean sheets, but Werder Bremen have dropped down the table into eighth place.
Wiese has admitted that he is looking forward to challenging for trophies with his new club.
He told Sport-BILD: "I have signed a long-term deal with my new club. It is a club that will fight for silverware in the long run and that is financially not close to being bankrupt.
"My decision was mainly about the future of the club. I am getting good future options.
"I did not want to struggle in the lower regions of a league. I want to go for the silverware. Being under a positive pressure."

VEGF is one of the most potent angiogenic growth factors. Focal adhesion assembly is a key step in cell migration and the angiogenesis response to VEGF. Our previous studies in bovine retinal endothelial (BRE) cells demonstrated that peroxynitrite mediates VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and angiogenic related function including cell migration and tube formation. We have shown that peroxynitrite (1µM) mimics the effects of VEGF in causing immediate tyrosine phosphorylation of VEGFR2, c-Src and focal adhesion kinase (FAK).The purpose of this study is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which peroxynitrite mediates VEGF/FAK activation in BRE cells.
The effects of the specific peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst (FeTPPs, 2.5 µM) or the thiol donor N-acetyl cysteine (NAC, 1mM) were studied on VEGF-mediated phosphorylation of FAK in BRE cells. 5-Iodo Acetamide Fluoresciene (IAF) and Fluoresciene antibody were used to label free thiols of the low molecular weight PTP (LWT-PTP), the specific phosphatase of FAK. Total free thiols were determined by measuring GSH levels using colorimetric assay. VEGF-induced cell migration was determined by wound healing assay.
VEGF-induced activation of FAK peaked at 15 minutes and was blocked by FeTTPs and inhibited partially by Src kinase inhibitor (PP2). FAK activation was also blocked by NAC, suggesting an oxidation-mediated action of peroxynitrite. Treatment of BRE cells with VEGF or 1 µM peroxynitrite resulted in time-dependant depletion of total free thiols that peaked at 15 minutes. IAF labeling of the free thiols of the FAK phosphatase (LMW-PTP) showed cysteine oxidation at 1 and 15 minutes which coincides with the peak of VEGFR2 and FAK phosphorylation. Cell migration assay revealed that FeTTPs and NAC blocked VEGF-stimulated cell migration
Taken together, these results indicate that peroxynitrite mediates VEGF-induced FAK activation partially via Src activation but mainly via oxidative inhibition of LMW-PTP. Thiol oxidation appears to be a key process in mediating VEGF’s angiogenic signal, implying a role for peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation in this process. Treatments targeting peroxynitrite may be effective in anti-angiogenic therapy.

The 5 E's
The Essential Elements of a Bicycle Friendly America℠
Each Bicycle Friendly Community℠, Bicycle Friendly Business℠ and Bicycle Friendly University℠ recognized by the League is different. Each with their own natural benefits and challenges — from climate and topography to culture and population density. But there are essential elements across five categories — known as the Five E’s — that are consistent in making great places for bicycling.
To truly achieve the vision of a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) are the essential lenses through which all other elements must be viewed. Learn more about the League's commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and see "The Sixth E" below for more about how the League has incorporated EDI into the Five E's.
The 5 E's
The most visible and perhaps most tangible evidence of a great place for bicycling is the presence of infrastructure that welcomes and supports it. Survey after survey shows that the physical environment is a key determinant in whether people will get on a bike and ride. The most advanced Bicycle Friendly Communities and Bicycle Friendly Universities have a well-connected bicycling networks, consisting of quiet neighborhood streets, conventional and protected bike lanes, shared use trails, and policies to ensure connectivity and maintenance of these facilities. Secure, convenient and readily available bike parking is also a key component. For Bicycle Friendly Businesses, great bike parking in addition to showers and locker facilities are vital to promoting bicycling both in the workplace and wider community.
Offering a lot of ways for people to get the skills and confidence to ride is key to building great places for bicycling. At the community level this begins with bicycle-safety education being a routine part of public education. Communities, businesses and campuses can offer options for adults looking to improve their biking skills with everything from online tips, brown bag lunch presentations and in-depth on-bike training opportunities. The League’s Smart Cyclingprogram, and more than 2,000 League Cycling Instructors around the country, are a great resource in delivering high quality education programs. It is also vital to make motorists and cyclists aware of their rights and responsibilities on the road through public education campaigns that promote the Share the Road message.
Communities, businesses and universities play a critical role in encouraging people to ride by giving them a variety of opportunities and incentives to get on their bikes. This can be done through the celebration of National Bike Month℠ and Bike to Work Day, producing community bike maps, route finding signage, bicycle-themed celebrations and rides and commuter challenges. Many places are investing in public bike sharing systems and internal fleets, which are a convenient, cost effective, and healthy way of encouraging people to make short trips by bike.
Basic laws and regulations need to govern bicycling and the rules of the road to ensure safety for all road users. With a good set of laws and regulations in place that treat bicyclists equitably within the transportation system, the next key issue is enforcement. Law enforcement officers must understand these laws, know how to enforce them, and apply them equitably to ensure public safety. A good relationship between the bicycling community and law enforcement is essential; for example, a police representative can participates on a Bicycle Advisory Committee to increase awareness on both sides. Similarly, having more police officers on bikes helps increase understanding of cyclists’ issues. On college and university campuses, theft prevention is a huge undertaking. Having law enforcement partners and great policies in place is essential to promoting bicycling.
Metrics are essential. A comprehensive bicycle master plan, in combination with dedicated funding and active citizen/organizational support is the foundation of a great bicycling community, business or university – indeed, progress without it is difficult. A successful plan focuses on developing a seamless cycling network that emphasizes short trip distances, multi-modal trips and is complemented by encouragement, education and enforcement programs to increase usage. A dedicated Bicycle Program Coordinator and an effective Bicycle Advisory Committee can play an important role in helping decision makers create, implement, and prioritize those bicycle programs and policies.
To truly achieve the vision of a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) are the essential lenses through which all other elements must be viewed.
Throughout the Five E’s and in every BFA program application, you will find EDI-focused questions and multiple choice answer options that are designed to help BFA applicants consider the ways in which they can address and correct for historical disparities and systemic inequities across each of the Five E’s. These questions were first introduced to the BFA applications in 2014, and the League continues to review and track EDI-related responses to identify best practices that can be incorporated into BFA feedback reports and future iterations of the applications, with the ultimate goal of guiding communities, businesses, and universities toward more equitable, diverse, and inclusive bike planning and programming.
Examples of equity-related questions/answer options in BFA applications include:
B7. How do you ensure that your bicycle facilities and physical amenities are accessible and welcoming to diverse populations? │e.g. new and inexperienced bicyclists, non-native English speakers, women, People of Color, ADA community, LGBTQ, youth, seniors, etc.

What is potato blight? A guide for gardeners Recognise – Prevent – Control a guide to potato blight for gardeners a very clear, I think this is ment and I concise docu as many hope it gets to ! s as possible allotment site Alys Fowler What is potato blight? Potato blight or late blight disease is caused by the fungus-like organism Phytophthora infestans, which spreads rapidly in the foliage of potatoes and tomatoes causing collapse and decay. The disease spreads most readily during periods of warm and humid weather with rain. Late blight can also infect potato tubers causing a rapid tuber rot. Potatoes growing on an old compost heap is a common source of infection. It is the most important disease of potatoes and outdoor tomatoes and caused the Irish potato famine of the 1840s. It has been around for a long time and over the years has evolved with more aggressive strains making it harder to control. www.potato.org.uk/gardeners Blight life-cycle • Blight is a microscopic, fungus-like organism whose spores (sporangia) easily break away from infected foliage and may be wind-blown for long distances during dull, humid weather. • If a spore lands on a wet leaf surface, it soon produces many swarmers (zoospores) that swim over the leaf surface then settle and grow into the tissues of the leaf. • After about three days in humid conditions, a lesion is visible and new spores are formed on stalks that grow out from the lower leaf surface. These can detach from the stalks in air currents, drift off and may land on another leaf or stem and start a new infection. • If foliage is destroyed by blight early in the growing period before tubers are formed, the crop will fail. Early varieties have often formed a crop of new potatoes before blight strikes in July or August, however, even early varieties will fail if blight arrives unusually early in May or June. • Potato blight will defoliate a potato crop but if blight occurs after the tubers are a good size and they are harvested before they become infected, little is lost. • Early attacks can be a problem, as the tubers may be under threat of infection for a long time, especially while they are developing. a guide to potato blight for gardeners This is what blight looks like The initial symptoms of blight on potato plants are small, dark spots or lesions on leaflets, usually on the margins. The dark brown lesion is often surrounded by a halo of light green tissue. During humid conditions, a fine white downy growth may be seen around the edge of the lesion, on the underside of the leaflets. This downy growth can release thousands of spores (sporangia) each day into the air. If the weather continues to be humid, within a few days the initially small circular lesions will grow in size until all of the leaf is colonised. This is why a crop can appear green and healthy and one week later the foliage is essentially blackened and dead. Left: a fine white downy growth seen around the edge of the lesion www.potato.org.uk/gardeners Brown lesions may also develop on the stems, often starting at the leaf axils and spreading up and down the stem. In wet weather the spores will be washed down from the leaves or stems into the soil where they can infect the developing tubers. Infected tubers have a brown (or for red-skinned varieties, a purple) discolouration on the surface and reddish-brown granular markings in the tuber flesh. The tubers may remain firm but can develop soft rot if the tissues are invaded by bacteria that cause tissue breakdown. Early attacks of blight may not be visible on tubers but any infected tubers will usually rot during storage. Brown lesions may develop on the stems a guide to potato blight for gardeners Sources of infection Blight over-winters in: • infected seed potatoes • diseased potatoes dumped by the plot • unharvested potatoes left in the soil which are capable of growing the following season. For this reason it is best to think about garden hygiene and remove all potatoes at harvest. Buying certified seed each year from a retailer or by mail order, rather than planting old potatoes, will also help prevent blight infection. However, the great majority of infections in gardens arise from wind-blown spores originating in other gardens, allotments and commercial crops, even if the nearest infected crop is miles away. Don’t risk importing serious diseases. For high quality British seed, look for the Safe Haven logo on seed packs. New blight strains Populations of blight are evolving rapidly. In recent years two new strains have come to dominate the population in Britain. These strains are known as Blue 13 and Pink 6 and are particularly damaging to potato crops. Research sponsored by Potato Council has found that some strains are able to reproduce sexually when they meet. They form thick walled resting spores that can survive in soil for several years and generate a new strain, if the resting spore develops and infects a plant. At present, infections from resting spores have not been detected in crops in Britain. “ Following a blight outbreak on our allotments last summer, we were sent copies of the Potato Council’s ‘What is potato blight?’ guide. Our allotmenteers have found the photographs easy to use in knowing what to look for, the text succinct, easy to follow and reassuring. Potatoes nourish and sustain us. We need to take care of them by stopping blight spreading. So study this guide and pass on its messages to other gardeners. ” Noreen Salway, Chairman, Southfleet Parish Council, North Kent There are varietal differences in resistance to late blight. Variety choices Those varieties that have a high degree of resistance to blight may not show symptoms at all when blight pressures are moderate but under high pressure, infection may produce small, slow growing lesions in the foliage, ensuring the plant’s survival over many weeks. Some resistant varieties show resistance in the foliage but their tubers are susceptible. Other varieties rarely suffer from tuber blight but have only moderate or low resistance to foliage blight. Data on blight resistance had to be revised recently due to the prevalence of the new and highly virulent strains. Many maincrop varieties with good resistance for blight pre-2005 are now seen as being more susceptible, such as Lady Balfour and Setanta. In contrast to these, varieties such as Sarpo Mira and Axona, have retained their high scores for blight resistance. Sarpo Mira can display small, black lesions on lower leaves in some soils, most likely due to a nutrient deficiency. Most early varieties are very susceptible but as they are often harvested before blight starts (usually in July), blight is rarely a problem. Similarly, early maincrop varieties are more likely to produce a reasonable crop before blight appears than are later maincrop varieties. Blight symptoms can vary on different varieties and can also be confused with other diseases, such as Botrytis or Alternaria. Even wind damage can look like potato blight. To be safe, remember if it looks like blight, remove the affected leaf or stem and bin it, bury it or burn it! a guide to potato blight for gardeners Weather and Smith periods Meteorological data are used to warn commercial growers when high risks of blight infection have occurred. A two-day Smith Period of warm (more than 10°C), humid (humidity of greater than 90% for at least 11 hours each day) indicates a high risk of infection if blight spores are present. Periods of warm, dry, sunny weather prevents both infection and any blight that is already established from getting worse. However, a return to ‘blighty’ weather will allow the disease to continue its development. Non-chemical control Chitting the seed (storing in the light to encourage short, strong sprouts) can reduce the time to emergence and full canopy development. This can help as the foliage is more susceptible during the growth phase, plus the tubers will start to develop earlier. If seed is chitted, take care not to damage the chits at planting. 1 Watering your crop can increase the humid microclimate around the haulm (foliage) which can help the spread of the disease. If the soil is dry, it is best to water the soil around the base of the stems rather than wetting the entire plant. Take care not to wash away soil as a good depth of soil covering the tubers or mulching provides some protection to tubers. 2 If you are growing more than one variety, there is evidence that growing alternate rows of varieties with lower and higher resistance can help to reduce the spread of blight if disease pressure is not too high. 3 Always try to check the foliage regularly for signs of blight. Remember a tidy allotment or plot will help to reduce the risk of infection. 4 It is best to water around the base of the stems rather than wetting the entire plant. If spraying, remember to include outdoor tomatoes, as these are as susceptible to blight as potatoes. Chemical control If, as a gardener you want to use chemicals, you must rely on a very restricted range of protectant fungicides all containing copper (Bordeaux mixture or Fruit and Vegetable Disease Control), since the more modern and effective products are not approved for non-commercial use. You should be aware that copper is a heavy metal toxin and can have a negative effect on many soil organisms at the concentrations used. It is important to realise that copper fungicides will not kill an infection within the leaf but will only slow down the spread of the disease by preventing new infections. Therefore, these protectants are most effective when applied before any blight is present in the crop and applications should be repeated on a regular basis as recommended on the label. If the plants are growing rapidly, any new growth made since the last chemical application will not be protected. It is therefore critical to get a good coverage to all parts of the foliage, as any stems or leaves not treated won’t be protected. If spraying, remember to include outdoor tomatoes, as these are as susceptible to blight as potatoes. Blight websites Potato Council has linked with another provider (Blightwatch) to give commercial growers combined warnings on which they can base their fungicide spray programmes. Amateur growers are able to access this service free of charge by registering on the Potato Council website. The website shows when blight has been detected in an area and also highlights when high-risk Smith Periods have been recorded. You can log on to the Potato Council’s website at www.potato.org. uk/gardeners. When you register for the blight-outbreak information on the site, you can receive email and/or text messages that warn you of both the presence of blight and Smith Periods for up to five postal districts. Visit the Potato Council’s website at www.potato.org.uk/gardeners a guide to potato blight for gardeners What if an infection occurs? Firstly, all is not lost. Cutting off all blighted leaves and stems can help slow the infection but healthy looking leaves may already be infected at a microscopic level and the blight will usually appear again a few days later. The blighted foliage should be binned (if possible or taken to a Council green waste facility), buried in the ground more than 12 inches deep or burned if there is just a small amount of foliage and it is allowable. If tubers are buried they should be crushed first. Garden composting, unless in a sealed container, may leave the haulm exposed, which will allow blight spores to spread until the green material dies. If open composting is the only option, the infected material should be placed under the top layer in the compost to help reduce the movement of spores in the wind. If blight strikes when the crop has already formed tubers of a reasonable size it is often better to cut off the foliage flush These stems should be cut off flush to the soil. with the soil, if it is severe or the weather is predicted to remain suitable for blight infection. If foliage had blight, it is likely that spores will have penetrated the soil in rainwater. So it is worth trying to prevent these spores from infecting the tubers, particularly if the crop is to be stored. As spores are known to die off in the soil fairly rapidly, it is best to wait about three weeks for tuber skins to thicken and for spores to die before digging the crop up. When harvesting, remove and dispose of all diseased and unwanted tubers to prevent blight from overwintering and establishing an early infection next season, by binning if possible or burying. Potatoes growing on an old compost heap is a common source of infection so tubers of any size should not be composted. There are no problems using the soil next year for other crops but the potatoes should be grown on another part of the allotment or garden. This crop rotation is just part of good practice. www.potato.org.uk/gardeners Storage • Harvest your potatoes in dry weather and allow them to dry before storing in a cool dark environment in paper or hessian bags, not in polythene. Recipes • Use them before they start to sprout and remember to check them regularly, especially if the foliage showed signs of potato blight. Any diseased looking tubers should be binned where possible or buried. Example of blight in a commercial crop If you would like some great recipe ideas for your home-grown potatoes, try the website www.lovepotatoes.co.uk Other species Late Blight is a serious disease for outdoor tomatoes but not as common on tomatoes grown in greenhouses. This is mainly because the foliage of greenhouse-grown tomatoes is kept dry and this prevents infection that is dependent on water being present. Also, air-borne spores are less likely to land on the foliage. However, if the greenhouse is not properly ventilated, water condenses on the glass at night and can wet the foliage and allow infection, which is often fast spreading, with devastating results. Blight is specific to potatoes and tomatoes and some ornamental relatives of these two crops, such as Solanum laciniatum and Petunia but the disease on these is not as serious. www.potato.org.uk/gardeners Sponsor The production of this guide was kindly sponsored by Thanks Thanks go to Alys Fowler and the following organisations, who have helped with text and photographs for this guide ' ' SARVARI RESEARCH TRUST Production Potato Council is the division of AHDB which works towards making the British potato industry more sustainable, competitive and profitable and helps stimulate use of the GB potato crop in home and export markets.

Kidney enlargement, which is one of the rare diseases, can lead to serious different health problems if not diagnosed early. When this disorder, which impairs the functionality of the kidneys, sometimes occurs unilaterally, its diagnosis is rather delayed. So what is Kidney enlargement (Hydronephrosis)? What causes kidney enlargement? Kidney enlargement symptoms
Kidney enlargement, the scientific name of which is hydronephrosis, is one of the rarely seen serious diseases. Kidneys are one of the indispensable organs of the human body. Experts recommend that everyone consume an average of 2.5 liters of water per day for the healthy functioning of the kidneys. This, in particular, ensures the opening of the kidney channels. As the water ratio increases, its functionality becomes stronger. For a healthy body, urine accumulates due to various reasons that occur in the kidneys, whose functionality should be healthy. The ducts are blocked by the accumulation of urine in the kidney bladder. This impairs the functionality of the kidney system. This can also occur as a result of the stones in the kidneys or stones blocking the channels. Urine flowing in the opposite direction accumulates in the kidney, causing enlargement. In addition, when sadness and stress are added, the kidney nerves are seriously damaged. It is not a serious disease. However, it is a disease that needs to be diagnosed early. Otherwise, the dirty fluid that the body needs to expel again accumulates inside, easily paving the way for infectious diseases. It is seen in almost all ages and genders. Rarely, it can occur even in the womb.
SYMPTOMS OF RENAL GROWTH
– Severe pains in the space between the back and kidney
– Smelly and small amount of urine
– Increase in temperature, ie fever, with increasing infection in the body
– Constant need to drink water
– An irritable and stressed mood
– Gradually decreasing weight
WHAT ARE THE NUTRIENTS INHIBITING RENAL GROWTH?
Cherry stalk, which has a strong anti-infective effect, is the most effective natural food. Cherry stalk also prevents stone formation and accumulation. In addition, corn silk tea also increases the functionality of the kidneys. It opens channels. It inhibits infected cells. Rosemary and ginger are among these beneficial foods.
HOW IS RENAL GROWTH TREATED?
As with any disease, some tests are required for diagnosis in kidney enlargement. The most important of these is the urine test. Increased amount of crystals and stones in the urine test may indicate a functional disorder in the kidneys. In addition, urography, MRI, ultrasound and cystoscopy tests can also be performed. With early treatment, clogged channels are opened immediately. However, water consumption should increase. However, in a late diagnosis, serious problems occur that cannot be treated.

China Loosens Curbs on Zero-COVID Policy08 Dec 2022
BANGKOK (NNT) - China has announced the most sweeping changes to its resolute anti-COVID regime since the pandemic began three years ago, relaxing rules that halted the spread of the virus but sparked protests and crippled the second-largest economy in the world.President Xi Jinping, who views China’s relentless fight against COVID as one of his greatest achievements, presided over a meeting of the Communist Party’s Political Bureau on Tuesday and announced the policy changes.The relaxation of rules, which includes allowing infected individuals with mild symptoms to quarantine at home and eliminating testing for domestic travelers, is the clearest indication that Beijing is relaxing its zero-COVID policy to allow people to live with the disease.Many of the changes announced by the National Health Commission (NHC) reflected steps already taken in various cities and regions in recent days in response to protests against strict COVID controls.Shanghai was among the first cities to announce that it would implement the new home quarantine guidelines and eliminate entry restrictions for travelers. The Shanghai Disneyland theme park has been scheduled to reopen to the public on Dec 8. Numerous investors applauded the change, stating that the easing could revitalize China’s sluggish economy and currency and boost global growth.

So today I had a little tinker with the magnum x. For some reason it was sitting very low at the rear. Either the front forks are not original and are too long or the rear shocks have had it. Anyway I had a rumage through our mounting pile of moped parts and dug out two slightly longer and stiffer rear shocks. See the before and after shots. Much better!

The stock market can be a great way to teach kids about investing. It’s full of risk and reward, just like life. But it can also teach them about business and capitalism – two things that are essential for success in this world. This article will cover the basics of how to give your kids a head start on investing so they can start building up their own portfolio and get ready for retirement!
Stocks Can Be A Great Way To Teach Kids About Investing
Stocks can be a great way to teach kids about investing. A child who invests in stocks will learn how to assess risk and reward, what it takes to gain financial independence, and that the long-term nature of investing is crucial.
Parents Should Teach Kids About The Long-Term Nature Of Stock Investing
Once you’ve decided to introduce your kids to stock investing, there are a few things you can do to ensure that they understand the long-term nature of this investment strategy. Here are some of the most important lessons:
- Patience and discipline are key. Stock investing for kids doesn’t happen overnight and it’s critical that parents teach children about patience from an early age. Waiting for stocks to rebound from dips is hard, but it will pay off if you’re able to stick with it through thick and thin over time.
- Diversification is essential! It’s important for investors—kids or otherwise—to diversify their portfolios across different asset classes so that their investments aren’t too heavily weighted in any one area (e.g., stocks) or type (e.g., domestic vs foreign). By diversifying across multiple industries, sectors and geographies, you reduce your risk while maximizing potential returns.* Research is crucial! Make sure your kids know how important research is when making stock decisions; after all, no one wants bad investments on their books!
There are many stock investing for kids books that can help your kids learn about investing. Some of these books are written specifically for kids and others are geared towards adults, but the information they contain will still be valuable if you choose the right titles.
Kids Can Learn About Stocks At Any Age – Even When They’re Teenagers
The stock market is a popular topic, and it’s one that can be taught at any age. Kids who are still in elementary school can learn about stocks as an investment opportunity from their parents or other family members. The younger they start learning about the stock market, the more time they’ll have to grow their money over time and reap some of its benefits.
Teaching your kids about investing in stocks can help them gain financial independence. If you feel like there’s no way for them to get by on their own, then investing in stocks might be exactly what you need!
When it comes to investing in stocks, kids should be involved at any age. It’s a great way for them to learn about business and capitalism, and it can also help them gain financial independence and power. If you want your child to understand the stock market, then consider reading some books on investing or visiting websites! If you want your child to learn about stock market basics, explain risk and reward, or even just learn why it is important to invest in stocks and bonds, then look for a book that covers those topics.

Farming is easy, all you have to do is go out and work the land, right? Unfortunately, this line of thinking is wrong and is making it difficult for young farmers to break into the business. Similar to any other business, there are road blocks that young farmers face when starting out that are compounded by the overall difficulties of surviving in the farming business. However, incorporating knowledgeable young farmers into the field is necessary because a whole generation of older farmers are rapidly retiring.
Fortunately, there are people like Lilia McFarland who are dedicated to ensuring farmers have the resources they need to prosper. McFarland serves as the New and Beginning Farmer and Ranch Program Coordinator at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). She sat down with Christopher Dorobek on this week’s DorobekINSIDER to discuss how she is helping new farmers break into the industry.
McFarland is also a finalist in the Call to Service category for the Partnership for Public Service’s Service to America Medals, or the SAMMIES—government’s version of the Oscar’s that recognizes the best of the best from the federal workforce. McFarland answered the call to service by working towards solutions to the decrease in family farms.
The current farming climate is promising but there are some concerning trends in the decreasing number of new farms. McFarland and her colleagues at USDA noticed these trends and decided to meet the challenge by making opportunities for new farmers. She explained, “we have made enormous strides to make USDA more available for people who are looking for USDA.”
Making USDA available has recently taken the form of consolidating the wealth and breadth of USDA information. McFarland explained, “all of our work is aimed at making USDA more open, transparent and accessible for the next generation.” While many next generation farmers are younger, McFarland emphasized that new farmers are coming from all different walks of life. This includes students, second career seekers, and innovative current farmers looking for new spaces.
Despite the variety of places where new farmers are coming from, they all are in need of information on how to effectively and efficiently farm. In response to this need, McFarland and her team created New Farmers, a website that consolidates the knowledge of USDA. The website allows people to engage in USDA materials in a tailored and personalized way that allows them to break into the farming industry.
While New Farmers is an excellent start to new farmer engagement, McFarland emphasized that she wants to continue growing USDA touch points with new farmers. She explained that there are a variety of ways for people to connect with USDA but she is hoping these points of interaction will be able to continue to expand through technological innovation. “The technology has really opened a new platform for us and has given us a place that we can fill with resources and offer to the next generation,” McFarland explained.
While McFarland and her team are making impressive strides in connecting young farmers with the resources they need, this innovation would not be possible had McFarland not answered the call to service. McFarland explained, “I am from rural America and having the opportunity to give back and serve all the people who are participating in the industry that was all around me while I was growing up is the opportunity of a lifetime.”
McFarland admitted that it is often challenging to break into public service but at the end of the day it is worth it. “It is an enormous gift to wake up in the morning and know I get to work for a cause that I believe in,” she said. McFarland concluded, “the future of agriculture is exciting and at USDA we are working hard to be ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.”
The SAMMIE’s are fast approaching! If you haven’t already get to know the other finalists and be sure to check out their stories. I know it may be hard to choose, but if you have a favorite be sure to vote for them in the People’s Choice Award.

What is the Prospect of Butterfly Valve Development?
As a Butterfly Valve Supplier, share with you.
Butterfly valve is a device often used in daily life and production, especially in the petroleum industry, it has played an important role. With the continuous development of the petrochemical industry, there is now an increasing demand for butterfly valves in the market. In fact, it is not only used in the petrochemical industry, but also in many other industries. Therefore, the market demand is very large and the development prospects are also very good.
Nowadays, domestic butterfly valve production technology has become more and more advanced, with more and more product models and specifications, and the quality and appearance of products have been greatly improved. Although the production cost is relatively high, with the continuous expansion of the market and the continuous expansion of application areas, the demand for butterfly valves is only increasing.
Nowadays, butterfly valves are mainly used in the industrial field. In the past, cast iron valves were mainly used in the industrial field. However, cast iron valves have many problems, such as easy to rust, heavy weight, inconvenient and flexible installation and use. However, stainless steel butterfly valves have many advantages such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance and long service life. This just overcomes the shortcomings of traditional cast iron valves, so they are very popular.
In short, the butterfly valve has outstanding advantages and its development prospects are very good. I believe that with the progress of society, more and more industries use butterfly valves, and the industry will definitely develop more well. If you want to do butterfly valve sales or wholesale business, this is very promising, but you must choose high-quality products. Only by improving high-quality products and equipment for customers, can you win customers and better survive and develop.
Our company also has Butterfly Valve on sale, welcome to contact us.

Sufferings of pilgrims |
M A Matin, Uttara, Dhaka
As a non-balloti pilgrim from Uttara area, I, accompanied by three of my colleagues, visited the Hajj camp medical centre at Ashkona on December 28, 2003 for taking meningitis vaccine which is a must for every pilgrim as prescribed by the Saudi government. We had with us a request letter from the concerned Hajj agent addressed to the medical officer of the Hajj camp. But when we approached the medical camp personnel to vaccinate us, they refused to do so.
They advised us to go to the civil surgeon's office at Malibagh.
We came to know from the Hajj office that they want every pilgrim who comes to the medical camp with necessary papers to be vaccinated, because they think that it might not be possible for everybody to go to the respective civil surgeon's office. The Hajj camp authorities appeared to be sympathetic to the pilgrims.
We smelt a cold dispute between the medical personnel and the general administration of the Hajj camp causing sufferings to the innocent pilgrims. We wonder why specific instructions from the ministry of health to the Ashkona medical centre have not been given . We know that this vaccine is given free of cost. So common sense goes that nobody is answerable for the number of vaccines they offer, if proper statistics are maintained.
Under such circumstances, may we request the authorities concerned to investigate the matter and instruct the Hajj camp medical centre, Ashkona, to serve the pilgrims coming over there with proper identification with a view to reducing the sufferings of the pilgrims.

With the proper tires on your car, you'll have the best ride and the least amount of problems, so learn how to select them.
Discover How to Select the Best Tires for Your Motor
It's easier than you may think to buy the right tires for your car. Keep reading to learn how.
Learn About the Different Types of Car Tires
There are several things that determine the best type of tires for your car. They include the ways you generally use your vehicle, the size of the vehicle and your typical driving conditions. Because tires are such important elements of your car, it's important to make careful considerations before finalizing your purchase. If buying tires during the warmest months of the year, you might consider purchasing appropriately named summer tires. They're usually characterized by orbital-shaped grooves and complex tread designs. These factors help them work as well as possible during hot, humid weather. Some summer tires come in extra-wide varieties. They work better than the standard options for some types of vehicles, but in other cases, can increase the risk of hydroplaning. If you have doubts about whether wider-than-average summer tires are the most appropriate option for your vehicle, ask a tire sales specialist. As you might imagine, you can also buy tires that are made for winter months. They are made from a special type of rubber that remains softer than what is used on regular tires, even when temperatures are very cold. Most winter tires have tread designs that help them push snow away from the wheels so it is easier for you to deal with inclement road conditions. Generally, tires designed for the winter months are not made to deal with high speeds the way that some other types of tires are. With that in mind, always make sure that you do not push the limits of the tires by trying to drive too fast while using them.
Concerns Related to Winter Weather Tires
Be aware that during the winter, tires lose their air pressure more quickly than they would during warmer months of the year. So, whether you get winter weather tires or some other type, be sure to check your tire pressure more frequently during the winter than you otherwise would. Conveniently, some modern cars have tire pressure monitor features. When activated, you'll get audible alerts that your tire pressure is too low, and again when the car tires are properly inflated. As mentioned above, winter tires have treads that help them better manage the snow. However, if you are particularly conscious of the fact that you will be driving in the snow a lot, specifically look for narrow winter tires. The narrower ones are ideal for cutting through deep snow. If you're having trouble picking the right size of winter tires, choose some that are as similar in size as possible to what was on your car when you bought it, or the size of tires you were using before you decided to buy new ones.
Purchase Tires Made For Year-Round Use
As their name suggests, all-season tires are made to use on your car all year, regardless of the seasons. Many people choose them because they do not require the kind of high-performance standards offered by winter weather tires, for example. They are the most versatile of all tires, and you can generally expect that they will be well suited for your general driving needs. Even within all-season tires though, there are two different types you could choose. You can go with touring or passenger varieties. The former is known for offering better handling and when you have them on your car, road noise should not be as obvious. On the other hand, passenger tires usually provide smoother rides and they last longer than touring tires.
The Various Types of Performance Tires
You may also opt to put some performance tires on your ride. These are usually good for improving traction at lower speeds and may have some stylish details. Because of those fashionable attributes, performance tires are sometimes standard on luxury cars. It's also possible to get high-performance or ultra high-performance tires for your vehicle. Those are designed to give you the best possible handling and stability at high speeds. So, if you are a car owner who likes to race your car or engage in other high-speed activities with fellow enthusiasts, those tires may help you stay as safe as possible during your exhilarating pastimes. You can even get competition tires, and those may be appropriate if you only use your car for the kinds of things mentioned directly above. Competition tires are street legal, but not very practical for most commuters because they don't have grooves.
Making Sense of Truck Tires
If you're looking for tires to go with your heavy-duty truck, you'll find they are available in many of the same varieties discussed above with a few extra possibilities. For example, there are tires that are specially made to promote smooth travel at long distances during highway travel, and varieties designed for off-road adventures.
How to Avoid Spending Too Much Money On Tires
It should now be clear that the kind of tires you select aren't always directly associated with the kind of motor your car has, but the kind of driving you usually do and the conditions you encounter. Before choosing a tire retailer, see if you can find any special offers that may influence where you buy your tires. For example, you might find an online Continental Tire rebate and decide you'll definitely purchase tires while taking advantage of that offer. Don't be afraid to go to several tire retailers and discuss the offers you have already found elsewhere to see if those merchants will beat them. For example, you could bring up the fact that you found a Continental Tire rebate that offers a 25 percent discount on purchases made within a certain time frame, and you want to see if another tire provider could offer you a deal that's at least as attractive as that offer. Before going to buy tires from a retailer, try to be in a state of mind that makes it clear you have already thought a lot about the kinds of tires you think would be best for your car. When you convey that you're informed from the start, it's less likely that a tire retailer may try to convince you to buy something you don't really need.

Aden: A replica Big Ben still looks down on the harbour. Queen Victoria casts a dour gaze from her bronzed throne in a patch of green fronting the port.
But this one-time jewel of the British Empire has fallen on hard times — and now seethes with sedition as Yemen lurches toward civil war and possible disintegration.
The return last week of ousted President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi, a southerner, after weeks of house arrest in the capital, Sana’a, has done little to quell separatist sentiment in Yemen’s south.
Blue-tinged flags of an erstwhile new independent nation are ubiquitous. Gaggles of pro-independence protesters march on the streets. Separatist slogans line the walls. Talk of rebellion is rampant.
“If there is no secession, then this area will become the biggest conflict in the Middle East — bigger than Iraq or Syria,” warned Mohammad Nasser Hattab, who heads a “popular committee” militia that has commandeered a police station across from the tattered park where a stolid and plump Victoria still observes the horizon.
“The situation has gotten to the point that it is us or them on this land,” said Nasser, amid nods of agreement from fellow militiamen with Kalashnikovs and checkered head scarves gathered on the second floor of a dingy police precinct office in the port-side Tawahi district, known as Steamer Point during British rule.
This fractured nation of 26 million has many hot spots in the aftermath of the fall of the capital, Sana’a, to the northern-based Al Houthi faction. The Al Houthis overran the capital in September and consolidated control in recent weeks, placing Hadi and others in his administration under house arrest and dissolving parliament.
The emergence of the Al Houthis, who are allies of Iran, threatens to turn Yemen into yet another geopolitical battleground with profound implications for US policy. The nation has until now been relatively free of the sectarian-fuelled violence that has ravaged Iraq and Syria.
Fostering stability in the country has been a major goal of the Obama administration, which has touted Yemen as a success of its counter-terrorism strategy. The nation is home to Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (Aqap), regarded as among the most potent of the global terrorist network’s branches. US drone strikes continue to hit Al Qaida targets in Yemen, despite the Al Houthi takeover.
The port of Aden, still bustling but much depleted since its colonial era days as one of the world’s busiest harbours, was the site of a signature Al Qaida attack: The 2000 strike on the US destroyer Cole that left 17 US service members dead and 39 wounded.
The Al Houthis have vowed to destroy Al Qaida since the terrorists have repeatedly targeted them. But others argue that the Al Houthi advance has become an Al Qaida recruiting bonanza, drawing in Sunni youth and tribesmen.
“Many tribes had abandoned Al Qaida, but the arrival of Al Houthis in Sana’a pushed the tribes back to Al Qaida,” Aden’s Governor Abdul Aziz Bin Habtoor said in an interview in Aden.
To the east of Sana’a, Sunni tribes, some allied with Al Qaida, are arming against a possible Al Houthi thrust into resource-rich Marib province, source of much of the nation’s oil and gas and its major energy infrastructure. Sunni tribal leaders have vowed to resist.
Meanwhile, the central government in Sana’a appears to have lost much of its control over the south.
Northern and southern Yemen were two countries until merging in 1990, but tensions between the two distinct regions never completely dissipated. Now, the nation’s political turmoil has given a renewed boost to the secessionist agenda.
The Al Houthis have relatively little support in the south. There is widespread disdain for what southerners call an Al Houthi power grab — though the Al Houthis insist that their goal is a democratic and united state in which all regions are represented.
Hadi, a former general, as well as a former vice-president under longtime strongman Ali Abdullah Saleh, fled from house arrest and arrived in Aden.
Many in Aden were outraged that Hadi did not embrace secession upon his return. Instead, he pledged to work toward a political settlement to maintain a unified Yemen — the goal of United Nations-brokered talks.
“The situation is very dangerous now,” said Mohsin Mohammad Bin Farid, who heads a coalition seeking to create “South Arabia” among eight southern provinces. “The people of the south were hoping that Hadi would be with us, be with independence.”
Although Hadi has many supporters in Aden, street protesters greeted his statement of unity with the chant: “Hadi, you are contemptible, the blood of the sons of the south is not cheap.”
So-called popular committee militiamen, on the payroll of political factions and tribes, have set up checkpoints and usurped the security services in parts of the south, including Aden. They bristle with indignation at the idea of Al Houthi-led rule.
“They [Al Houthis] do not represent a Yemeni point of view,” said Nasser, the popular committee commander near the port, in an apparent reference to Al Houthis’ links to Iran. “They are influenced by external dictates.”
The future role of Hadi, backed by the United States and its Gulf allies, remains a question mark. Hadi appears to have rescinded his resignation from the presidency — tendered on January 22 while he was under house arrest — and signalled that he favours continued dialogue among all of Yemen’s factions to keep the nation intact. His allies insist that most southerners prefer to remain part of Yemen.
“The great majority of people in the south support the idea of unity and adhere to the concept of a federal state,” said Bin Habtoor, the Aden governor, who spoke after meeting with the president in Aden.
But Hadi insists that all appointments and government actions made since September 21, when the Al Houthis overran Sana’a, are null and void. The governor also said talks should be moved from Al Houthi-controlled Sana’a to Aden.
“Al Houthi forcibly seized power with the gun and he must relinquish power whether he wants to or not,” said Bin Habtoor.
In Sana’a, however, the Al Houthis have showed no sign of pulling back. With regional, sectarian and tribal tensions rising, the prospect for compromise appears to be narrowing.
“What we see in Yemen is a potential humanitarian crisis, the prospect of economic collapse, and possible areas of conflict,” Jamal Bin Omar, the UN special envoy for Yemen, said in an interview in Sana’a. “The prospect for fragmentation is clearly there. We are saying that there is no other way but for all the political parties to come together and make a deal sometime soon.”

Major US stock indexes closed with mixed results Wednesday as a pullback in utilities and real estate companies kept gains elsewhere in the market in check. The S&P 500 posted a gain of 0.1% to 4,167, after having been up 0.6% earlier in the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 97 points, or 0.3%, to a record high of 34,230, but the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.4% after shedding an earlier gain, the AP reports. Shares of exercise equipment company Peloton Interactive skidded 14.5% after the company voluntarily recalled its treadmills after dozens of reports of injuries to children and pets, and at least one death. The $4,200 treadmill was the company's biggest expansion beyond its traditional exercise bike program. CNBC reports that the fall wiped $4 billon of Peloton's market value.
Financial stocks were among the big winners. JPMorgan Chase rose 1.3%. Energy companies also climbed. Exxon Mobil rose 2.9%. Technology companies, which had bounced back in the early going, lost most of their momentum. Apple was up 0.2%. Facebook shares fell 1.1% after the company announced its independent oversight board would continue to ban Donald Trump from the platform. Investors remain focused on earnings season, which has been better than expected. General Motors shares rose 4% after the company posted a solid quarterly profit compared to a year earlier. Under Armour also jumped 6.8% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the athletic apparel company reported better-than-expected results.

Russell Crowe Divorce: Danielle Spencer's Dad Confirms Split
News broke this weekend that Russell Crowe and wife Danielle Spencer were seeking a divorce, but the two have kept quiet about the split. Now, Spencer's father, Don, has confirmed the news to WHO magazine.
“I love them both and am naturally sad as any father would be in this situation,” he said.
Danielle's “Dancing with the Stars” dance partner, Damian Whitewood, has also weighed in on Twitter.
“Wow! Sad and crazy news day full of rumours I didn't ask for!” Whitewood wrote. The press has tried to romantically link Damian and Danielle since their partnership on Australia's “DWTS.”
Crowe is currently in the US filming the biblical epic "Noah," while Spencer remains in Sydney with their two sons, Charles, 8, and Tennyson, 6. The Daily Mail reports that the couple has been living apart for the past year, even while both are in Sydney.
The celebrity couple first met 22 years ago on the set of "The Crossing" and were married in April of 2003.


MIDDLEBORO — "Reality sets in" is the theme this summer for Police Chief Joseph Perkins and his staff as they participate in the planning for a new police station — a project that had been in the "dream" phase for a decade or more before voters approved a $9.5 million debt exclusion override for the station this spring.
A project manager, Daedalus Projects, Inc. of Boston, was hired last month, and last week the selectmen also approved a contract with Kaestle Boos Associates of Foxboro, the firm that will design the new building.
The police chief said he and his staff are adjusting to a new set of goals.
"I was just with Lt. (Peter) Andrade riding around," Perkins said during a phone interview on Tuesday. "He said reality still hasn't set in yet."
That will come this summer, starting with a visit to the Wood Street site today to determine how high the radio antenna at the new station needs to be. Throughout the summer and fall the chief and his staff will be meeting with Kaestle Boos representatives to discuss plans for the 15,000 square foot station.
Design documents are to be completed by December so the project can go out to bid by February. The one-story building is expected to be completed by October of 2018.
Chief Perkins and representatives of the Police Department participated in the study that resulted in the proposal placed before voters this spring. Kaestle Boos, which also served as the town's architect for the feasibility study, drew on information provided by the department to come up with a preliminary design and layout for the station. The Police Station Building Committee also visited a number of newer police stations.
"Once (the architects) start the actual design documents, we will have more input," said Perkins. "There will be a lot of discussion back and forth between the department and the architect to make sure the design is workable."
The chief said the project manager from Daedalus, Joseph Sullivan, also has some ideas that could change the preliminary design and layout, and testing at the site could change the way the building sits on the lot. The lot is just off East Main Street, behind the Green School. The building entrance will be on Wood Street.
Perkins said members of the department are "excited, but again I don't think it's set in."
"It's always fun to imagine, but now it's a reality," he said.
The Kaestle Boos architectural firm was also the company that worked with the town to develop an initial proposal for renovations to the existing police station on North Main Street and an addition to the building. That proposal was rejected by voters at a special election in 2015. As a result, the town will need to consider possible reuses for the North Main Street building.
The only town building listed individually on the National Register, the building that has housed Middleboro's police department since 1935 was constructed about 100 years earlier by Col. Peter H. Peirce. The town's most successful merchant, Peirce and his family lived in the mansion across North Main Street that is now a law office. The family fortune has benefitted the town in a number of ways — Peirce money built the public library and funded many other town services.
Selectwoman Leilani Dalpe, who also chairs the town's Tourism Committee, is spearheading an effort to begin now to develop a reuse plan for the Peirce Store, which is located in a National Register district and sits around the corner from the Robbins Museum of Archaeology and the Middleborough Historical Museum. The latter's exhibits include a room that is a recreation of a section of the Peirce Store.
Dalpe said she has heard from Middleborough Historical Association representatives who would like to see the Peirce Store exhibit returned to its original home. Others have suggested reuses ranging from an art gallery to a community center.
Dalpe said the town, through the Office of Economic and Community Development, will apply for a grant this fall from the state Cultural Facilities Fund to assist in developing a business plan for the property.
"We have to start planning now … so that by the time the police move out we will be ready to go," Dalpe said.
If the grant application is successful, reuse planning could begin by next spring. Dalpe said the town would be eligible for more state and federal grants once a business plan is in place.
