The women’s basketball team moved one game closer to clinching the regular season Southland Conference championship when they took care of Houston Baptist 76-55 in their final road game of the season.
The Wildcats burst out of the gates on an 15-0 run and never looked back, as HBU failed to score a single point until the 3:51 mark in the first quarter. The scoring run was sparked by junior forward Suzzy Dimba with eight straight points out of the gates.
“Suzzy did a great job and was the main success of the 15-0 lead,” junior guard Alexis Mason said. “She got eight easy points by simply taking her girl off of the dribble; which allowed easy offense and helped us to open up more dribble drive opportunities.”
As a result, ACU enjoyed a lead as big as 18 points before closing the quarter with a 21-6 advantage.
ACU built its largest lead of the game to 27 points on a layup from Mason with two minutes on the clock in the first half.
Mason showed glimpses of Michael Jordan’s historic flu game as head coach Julie Goodenough said after the game Mason was sick before tip-off. Mason finished with a game-high 23 points, eight rebounds and a spectacular 75 percent field goal percentage (9-12 FG).
“I love playing in Houston Baptist’s gym, it is a great gym for shooters. Having that mentality that was a big success to how well I shot,” Mason said. “I felt a little upset with myself after the Southeastern Louisiana game because I missed a lot of shots I felt I should have made. So my goal going into this game was to just go into the game and focus regardless of if I started out hitting shots or missing shots.”
The Huskies cut the lead slightly before halftime, but the Wildcats still boasted a 44-21 halftime advantage.
Despite being outscored in the second half 34-32, ACU continued to control all aspects of the game and HBU was unable to put together any significant scoring runs.
Points off turnovers played a huge role in the outcome of the game as the Wildcats held a 25-12 advantage and 42-28 edge in points in the paint.
After scoring the first eight points of the game, Dimba cooled off, but still finished with a strong 14 points and six rebounds. Freshman forward McKenzie Martin also added 10 points off the bench.
The win is ACU’s 14th conference win and preserves their one game lead in the race for a conference championship. The Wildcats finish the road portion of their schedule at an incredible 10-3 mark, and they will play their final three games at home where they are 11-0.

The Union government has told Punjab and Haryana High Court that unless covered by a local Act, the appointment of chief parliamentary secretaries (CPSes) and parliamentary secretaries (PSes) are unconstitutional . “But at the same time, we are of the view that no parallels can be drawn between CPSes/PSes and ministers as these two are different from each other,” the additional solicitor general, Satya Pal Jain, told the high court on Wednesday.
Jain, a senior BJP leader and former MP, was replying to a query by the high court bench of justices SS Saron and Lisa Gill during the resumed hearing of two different petitions challenging six appointment of CPSes by Parkash Singh Badal government in Punjab and four appointments by Manohar Lal Khattar government in Haryana. Haryana appointments had taken place in July 2015 and six appointments were made in Punjab earlier this year.
Himachal Pradesh high court had quashed the appointment of PSes in 2005 terming them “a fraud” on the Constitution. But the government found a way out by passing a legislation in the assembly, empowering the CM to appoint PSes. The posts still exist in the hill state.
The two petitions challenging these appointments were filed after July 2015 and by that time high court had reserved order on the 18 such appointments in Punjab during Badal government’s second stint in 2012. The hearing on petitions was being adjourned awaiting decision on the 2012 appointments. The high court on August 12 had invalidated the 18 appointments of 2012, saying that the CPSes were acting as “junior ministers” in contravention of the Constitution’s intent to limit the council of ministers to 15% of the legislature’s strength. The high court had further held that neither the governor nor the legislature had competence or sanction to frame rules regulating these appointments. The appointments “are in fact a roundabout way of bypassing the constitutional mandate… and, therefore, have to be invalidated,” the HC bench had held.
During the hearing on Wednesday, the petitioner lawyer, Jagmohan Singh Bhatti, who has challenged these appointments in Haryana as well as Punjab, told the court that both these matters were covered by the high court’s August 12 judgment, hence, should be disposed of.
However, as counsels appearing for Punjab and Haryana governments sought time to discuss it with the respective governments, the matter was adjourned for September 8.
“We have neither filed appeal against the judgment (decided on August 12), nor have taken a decision in this regard,” the Punjab government counsel told the high court.

Busy as I am now that school has started, plus a multitude of health issues, I’m sharing a painting my granddaughter did to help me feel better. It’s from memory, of our blue heeler, Junior. She has found her own medium: watercolor on canvas, which would not have occurred to me. It’s not an exact likeness, but I think she handled the paint really well, especially the gradations of his coat.
If you’re curious, this is a photo of Junior.
I’m taking a break from social media for a while, include my two blogs, to focus on other priorities. I hope to return eventually, and to keep making art. If you’re an artist, I hope you are making lots of art.
After four months of deciding to move, finding a place, selling the other place, moving, trying to settle into our new home…. I have a studio and I’ve finished a tiny bit of art!
This was a plain gray board with only the lettering on it. I bought it for a narrow space in our bathroom in the old house, with the intent of making it colorful, many months ago. The only thing I had done was the pale aqua wash. Turns out it doesn’t quite work in the space I had planned in the new house, but it’s still in the master bath, opposite the toilet, helping start my day on a bright and positive note.
Here is the before:
Chloe felt bad that I wasn’t doing much art, so yesterday she insisted we collaborate. She drew them in Sharpie, and I painted the middle one.
One of the best things about our new home is the studio space. Since I share it with a 10-year-old, it’s not very tidy, but there’s enough room for both of us and I have plenty of storage. (Chloe also has a drawing table in her room, but we keep messy work in the studio.)
Since my output has been low because of travel, illness and child care, I’ll let the kid take over this post. She filled some of the backseat hours with writing and art, and she’s developing an interesting style with drawing people. When I was somewhat older than she is (she’s eight), I was interested in fashion illustration, and I love her elegant gown designs, what she’s doing with hair, and the enormous eyes.
My favorite, with a long train:

Gloucestershire CC spending extra £1m on road repairs
02/06/2016 Highways Reporters
Gloucestershire County Council will spend an additional £1 million on road repairs.
Through careful planning throughout last year, the council has a small underspend which it can invest back into frontline services. Acting on public feedback, the council has decided to allocate £1m of this money into highways which means that more work can take place to tackle road damage.
This comes in addition to £1m funding from the Department for Transport, meaning a total additional one-off investment of £2m will be spent on extra highways work this year.
The additional work, which will take place throughout the next few months, will focus on tackling pothole clusters and will be in addition to any existing schemes that are scheduled.
The cluster targeting will be primarily focused towards A and B roads, which are the busiest in the county and are vital to the economy.
Highways teams will be trialling new machinery over the coming months as well, including mobile asphalt mixers, in an attempt to get a more efficient pothole repair system and stronger repairs.
Cllr Vernon Smith, cabinet member for highways and flooding, said: "We're working hard to tackle the potholes and improve the quality of roads in Gloucestershire. We understand this is a priority which is why despite tight finances we are putting more money into getting this right. In this difficult financial time, it's not always possible but our careful financial planning has allowed us to make this one off money available."

Low is an American indie rock group from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993. As of 2010, the group is composed of Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals), both founding members, and Steve Garrington (bass guitar).
Their music is commonly described as "slowcore," a rock subgenre characterised by slow tempos and minimalist arrangements. Though Low's members disapprove of the term slowcore, the band is among the earliest to adopt and popularize the style, making them considerable contributors to the slowcore movement.
Parker and Sparhawk's striking vocal harmonies represent perhaps the group's most distinctive element; critic Denise Sullivan writes that their shared vocals are "as chilling as anything Gram and Emmylou ever conspired on -- though that's not to say it's country-tinged, just straight from the heart."Content provided by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_%28band%29

This past weekend I had a very eye-opening and creative-conscious weekend at the inaugural Fringe Festival here in Pittsburgh. Not only was I able to be a part of the festivities, but I also had some really great personal growth experiences. If my confidence was not already inflated before, it has certainly reached its next rung on the ladder to my writing career. I wrote some poetry this weekend that I would like to share with the world. Words that drive me. Some of the works I wrote this weekend provide the foundation for why I chase my dreams in the first place. Please, enjoy!
Your laughter pierces the darkness.
Your smile draws the curtains.
Your eyes bring in the sun.
In your mind, there is no hatred,
There is only today.
No black, no white, no shades of grey.
Only green and blue crayons,
pink and yellow blocks,
orange chalk that you drag across the dog’s back
as if to say “Outside, please!”
Creative and uninhibited.
There is beauty in your attentiveness.
Lines of color across the ground,
the rainbow of reasons what I remain on my game.
My brushes and pens,
my paint and paper;
I have dreams to chase
and you have only fanned the fire.
“Scarlett” is my word for inspire.
Rules of the Road
Traffic on the highway.
Impatient travelers who
insist you play by their rules.
Such fears and anxiety
led me down the back roads.
To be familiar, to be safe,
to play by someone else’s rules.
Those were the only rules I knew.
Stepping out of my castle of cards,
I breathed a sigh and dreamed a dream,
and the castle folded at my feet.
Where does one go from here
to survive on those dreams?
Onto the ramp,
merging into the right lane.
I began to play by my own rules.
I paved the asphalt in front of me with
Making my way to an exit,
my success, my happiness,
at my own pace.
With dreams realized and a life fulfilled,
I will one day navigate the stars.
Those I met on the highway will say,
“She was most happy.”

“The one thing you can count on from Ruthie Foster anytime she steps onto a stage is being blown away by both her powerhouse voice and her familial warmth. …the Texas singer-songwriter brought the standing room only crowd into her embrace, holding them gently in her grip like a long-lost cousin for almost two hours of song and story.” – Atlanta Journal Constitution
“The energy she brings with just voice and guitar is stunning. Ruthie’s drawn comparisons to Ella and Aretha, but musically neither is really close. What she does have in common with Fitzgerald and Franklin is the irresistible blaze – its impossible to look away, even close the eyes, for one second.” -Philadelphia City Paper
In the tightknit musical community of Austin, Texas, it’s tough to get away with posturing. You either bring it, or you don’t.
If you do, word gets around. And one day, you find yourself duetting with Bonnie Raitt, or standing onstage with the Allman Brothers at New York’s Beacon Theater and trading verses with Susan Tedeschi. You might even wind up getting nominated for a Best Blues Album Grammy — three times in a row. And those nominations would be in addition to your seven Blues Music Awards, three Austin Music Awards, the Grand Prix du Disque award from the Académie Charles-Cros in France, and a Living Blues Critics’ Award for Female Blues Artist of the Year.
There’s only one Austinite with that résumé: Ruthie Foster.
The small rural town of Gause, TX had no chance of keeping the vocal powerhouse known as Ruthie Foster to itself. The worship services at her community church and influences like Mavis Staples and Aretha Franklin created the foundation of her vocal capabilities, which developed into her own sound which is unable to be contained within a single genre. That uniqueness echoes a common theme in Ruthie’s life and career – marching to the beat of her own drum.

Governmental bodies cannot set up meetings of less than a majority of public officials to evade the state’s Open Meetings Act, the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.
In a suit filed by The Columbus Dispatch news organization, the court ruled 9-0 that the city of Columbus was wrong to set up pairs of meetings with the mayor and three city council members apiece in 2014, avoiding the city council’s quorum of four members. Those meetings were to discuss an agreement between the city and an economic development agency and maintenance of public buildings, according to the Associated Press.
After being excluded from the meetings, a Dispatch reporter filed an ethics complaint and the state Ethics Commission ruled that such “piecemeal” quorums were illegal. In an appeal by the city, Chancery Judge Kenneth Burns also sided with the Dispatch.
The city, supported by the Mississippi Municipal League, had argued that no gathering where a quorum wasn’t present could be a “meeting” under terms of the law, because the council could take no final action without a quorum present. But the court disagreed.
“The city acted with the express intent of circumventing the act,” Associate Justice Robert Chamberlin wrote for the court. “The gatherings were preplanned. The attendees invited purposely constituted less than a quorum. The gatherings were for the express goal of discussing city business. Further, the facts support that city business was conducted and policy formulated at the gatherings.”
Mike Hurst of the Mississippi Justice Institute, which represented the Dispatch, said the case was an important precedent. The institute is representing a Lauderdale County man in a similar case against county supervisors.
“Whether raising taxes, spending taxpayer money or issuing regulations that affect people’s lives and property, people want to know what their government is doing,” Hurst said in a statement.

Local media in the Solomon Islands are reporting the caretaker Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands, Derek Sikua, has called the champion Kurukuru team to tell them that he would soon declare a 2 day public holiday to honour the team's recent win.
Though such sports-related public holidays are relatively common in the South Pacific, there are no recent examples of such public holidays having been declared in the Solomon Islands, particularly on the heels of the recent electoral public holiday declared for August 4 (2010-07-28).

NBC's primetime ratings last year put the network in 4th place, quite a fall for the network that used to dominate broadcasting. Robert Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, addressed the network's plan to get the ratings boost to improve its standing at a recent Television Critics Association meeting. The plan? - to develop "upscale shows, which is what we do well."
When I hear things like that I start wondering what he means by upscale, and why, if they're so good at it, they're stuck in fourth place. Looking at reports of his speech and the shows mentioned may provide a bit of a clue. Named were reality competition shows The Voice, America's Got Talent, and Celebrity Apprentice; sitcom The Office, late-night talk show The Tonight Show, and new show The Playboy Club. Truly upscale and innovative programming.

Students leave school to attend protest march in support of students at the University of Missouri over a student-led protest of racial-p더킹카지노rofiling
The students’ parents said they want to protect them
The lawsuit comes after the school began investigating students for alleged violations. The Department of Education is now probing what prompted the campus administration to open an investigation.
An officer was in the student center at about 3:30 p.m. when he witnessed an unidentified student yell, “F— whitey, whitey.” He then saw the officer grab students and detain them inside the back of the classroom.
During the stop, the officer saw the name “Malia Obine” and heard the name “Michael Brown.”
The officer asked several students to identify themselves, and three students did. One of the students said he wanted to identify himself, but he did not want to go to jail.
The officer also watched another unidentified student write a letter to the dean of student affai카지노 사이트rs about a student whose behavior at school had “become unacceptable.”
After speaking with the student, the officer talked with him. He called the student “Mr. Martin.” The officer asked if he was Martin, and he said yes.
The officer gave the students a piece of paper containing their name and date of birth and identified himself as the officer. He asked the student to sign for the paper and write on it: “Do Not Write.” The officer was aware that it was illegal to write “PJ” on anything, but said that it was OK to write “PJ.”
According to the lawsuit, the officer wrote more questions on the paper and did not see who it was that he was writing about at school or what they were doing. The officer wrote that the police were at the center of the protest and that students should stay on campus until they were off campus.
About six or seven hours later, the officers told the student that they would release all of the students and that they would be moving them around the campus in groups to get them to the front of the class.

…the purpose of the [Olympics] attack on July 27 was to confound, anger and embarrass the Washington government.
President George W. Bush in January 2008 on bringing the 2016 Olympics to Chicago:
They say that the Olympics will come to Chicago if we’re fortunate enough to be selected, but really it’s coming to America, and I can’t think of a better city to represent the United States than Chicago… This country supports your bid, strongly.
Conservative blogger Erik Erickson on the failed bid to bring the Olympics to Chicago which President Obama (like Bush) supported and lobbied heavily for: (via Washington Monthly)
Hahahahaha. I thought the world would love us more now that Bush was gone. I thought if we whored ourselves out to our enemies, great things would happen. Apparently not.
So Obama’s pimped us to every two bit thug and dictator in the world, made promises to half the Olympic committee, and they did not even kiss him. So much for improving America’s standing in the world, Barry O.
Karl Rove today via Twitter:
Instead of serving as pitchman for Chicago, Obama should focus on crafting a winning strategy in Afghanistan.
(One can safely assume that Rove is referring to creating a winning strategy in Afghanistan to replace the losing one he and the Bush Admin created.)
And, last but not least… upon news that the 2016 Olympics was not coming to Chicago, they cheered in the offices of the Weekly Standard and then felt the need to delete that fact from the official record.
Conservative Charles Johnson – who has of late seen that extremist lunatics run the conservative movement – has this to say:
This is where the rhetoric of “FAIL” leads — they’re openly celebrating when America loses, just because Barack Obama is President. And even though this Olympic bid was also promoted by George W. Bush.
This completely puts the lie to the excuse that those who say they want Obama to fail really mean they want his policies to fail.
No, they want Obama himself to fail, and if that means America fails too, they’re just fine with that.
In other words, conservatives, like Eric Rudolph, want to “confound, anger and embarrass the Washington government.”

When repairing your Hypalon®, PVC or urethane inflatable, or your plastic or composite kayak, it's vital that you choose the right adhesive and solvent for t...
PVC Adhesive – How to repair inflatable boat tubes made from PVC fabric | Polymarine Paints, Adhesives, Parts & Accessories. Materials needed:-. • 2903 PVC & Hypalon primer, cleaner. • 3026 Polymarine two part PVC adhesive. • Paint brush (cut down to 20-25mm bristle.) • Lint free cloth. • PVC material.
Using the German Import Adhesive included in the Inflatable Boat Basic Repair Kit, apply a first layer of the adhesive into the seam. For each layer, a small pencil tip or valve wrench tip can be used to force the adhesive into the seam. After this layer application, allow for the adhesive to sit for 20 minutes. 3.
Ensuring Inflatable Repair Success When applying the repair adhesive, make sure that it coats the entire hole. If you’re repairing inflatables with the kit’s patches, add a little more adhesive to the edges of the patch after the drying process is complete to increase the strength of the seal.
At this point, you should have succeeded in learning how to patch an inflatable boat. However, if you find that your patch is leaking, you can heat it with a hot air gun and squish it down again. Worst case scenario, if that doesn’t work, you can remove the patch and try again. Regardless, that’s the process of how to patch an inflatable boat.
The best cleaner for the Clifton Urethane Adhesive is methyl ethyl ketone or acetone. If you mix the glue with an accelerator, the strength of the bond won’t be improved, but it will become more heat resistant. Finally, if you keep this glue tightly sealed after your first use, it will have a long shelf life. The second is Stabond Adhesive.
A good product to have on hand for quick repairs of pinhole leaks in PVC inflatables, but it may not hold up well on weight-bearing items like air mattresses. Using adhesive only, provides a fast patch for very small holes or tears in vinyl or PVC-coated nylon material. Enough adhesive in the tube to patch several pinholes at once.

I would guess possible laminitis too. My horse had a lameness issue that started with her not wanting me to pick up her hoof...then when I would pick out her hoof, she would need to rest or go down to her knee if you didn't let her. When I asked my farrier at the time & friends they all acted like it was nothing. Overweight horses are more prone to laminitis/founder. I was having trouble getting weight off of her due to some thinking she needed the extra feed & arguing. Now she's been weaned off her feed and is on a grazing muzzle. Recent xrays confirmed slight rotation in her hoof. I would definitely consult a vet if it were me. Oh, and needless to say I have a new farrier!

I’ve been putting something off for months. Well, technically you could say that I’ve been putting it off for over a decade. There’s a huge picture of me next to the word procrastination in the dictionary. The same is true of the word delusional, but we’ll save that story for another day. I need to find a literary agent. The thing is, I already found the one I want….ten years ago. And I still haven’t taken the next step and reached out to her by way of a query letter.
Thank you for re-directing your eyes back to this post after closing them to shake your head in disbelief and/or pity.
Let me give you a little background. At the tender age of twenty-one I completed my first novel. I sent it off to a publishing house known for producing the same genre of books as my novel. I did this cold, without the benefit of representation by an agent or any previous publishing experience. The brashness of youth was definitely on my side. Instead of going directly to the slush pile, as the astronomical odds dictated it should, the founder of the publishing company called me. CALLED ME! If you know anything about the publishing business, you know that these people don’t pick up the phone unless they are really interested. Being the young idiot that I was, I failed to follow-up and let that golden opportunity slip through my hands.
Fast forward a little over a decade and I’m finally taking my writing seriously. So I start looking for an agent. Lo and behold, the publisher from The Call is now a literary agent. Still, I don’t do anything with this information. A few months ago, while at a random writer’s group meeting in Michigan, I mention that I’m looking for an agent. The meeting organizer said that she’d email me the contact information for an agent she knows that represents my genre. You guessed it. The same agent from The Call.
God is hitting me over the head with signs that I need to connect with this person. Yet still I hesitate. I had to ask myself what my freakin’ problem is! The answer is that I’m afraid. This is shocking to me because I am not generally a fearful person. It’s not an emotion I’m all that familiar with. I’m afraid of animals, roller coasters and horror movies. I avoid those things, so fear is not something I feel often. I move from state to state as the whim strikes me. I’ve worked with convicted felons for years. I lived in Compton, CA during one of the most notoriously bloody summers on record. I don’t scare easily. But the act of sending a simple inquiry has had me paralyzed with fear for far too long.
I’m doing it anyway. My point here is not to simply share my own embarrassing story, but to encourage you. When you’re afraid, do it anyway. Especially when it is in your own best interests. No more living with regret. No more putting it off for another day.
I’m going to send a query letter to the agent from The Call and many more to other agents as well. In my mind I’ll be running towards the mailbox (or computer if email is preferred) in slow motion while the song ‘I Hope You Dance’ swells in the background. The song’s really old, but considering it was hugely popular at the time I should have completed this business, it seems entirely appropriate. Oh, what the heck. Cue the music! I’m dancing people…join me?

Chevron Oronite to build additives plant in China; plant will be operational by 2019
U.S.-based Chevron Oronite Co. LLC has signed an investment agreement to build a wholly owned additive manufacturing plant in Ningbo, a seaport city in northeast of Zhejiang Province, China. The investment agreement was formalized in a signing ceremony held March 3 in Ningbo.
Desmond King, president, Chevron Oronite, was in attendance along with other Oronite leaders and project team members. Ningbo was represented by Lu Ziyue, mayor of Ningbo, as well as other members of the local government and officials representing the Ningbo Economic & Technical Development Zone (NETD).
Oronite stated that, while still under review, its current project timeline anticipates that initial capacity would be on stream in 2019 and that further development would be completed in phases to align with market demand.
“With the completion of a major expansion at our additives manufacturing facility in Singapore in 2014 and a project currently underway to add carboxylate capacity at the Singapore facility, we are currently well positioned to meet our supply needs throughout Asia, including the escalating demand in China,” said King.
“While our Singapore plant is the largest additives manufacturing facility in the region, we also anticipate that additive demand will continue to grow in China and that new capacity will eventually be required. Adding a new supply point in China by the end of this decade will provide even greater flexibility to help ensure we continue to reliably meet our customers’ needs through a supply chain that is unmatched in our industry.”
The land is part of the Ningbo Economic & Technical Development Zone and is ideally situated near the Ningbo Port, one of the largest ports in the world in terms of annual cargo throughput.
“Ningbo welcomes Chevron Oronite to a growing manufacturing base that already includes many world-renowned companies that have also invested in NETD and helped it grow into one of the top development zones in China,” Lu said.
“After an extensive analysis of many potential sites in China, we are extremely pleased to move forward with our plans in Ningbo. The location provides Oronite with advantages both in terms of distributing our products throughout China, as well as connecting to our other manufacturing facilities around the world due to its location near a major port,” said King.
Chevron Oronite is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corp., which is headquartered in San Ramon, Calif., U.S.A.

On Wednesday Gov. Susana Martinez announced that the names of state medical marijuana dispensaries and their employees will be made public. The decision comes less than a week after a lawsuit was filed in an effort to strike down the regulation and will only apply to producers and their employees. The names of New Mexico’s medical marijuana patients will not be made public.
“The governor has taken a close look at this issue over the past several weeks, and she does not believe this information should be confidential any longer. In a move that will provide better transparency, the governor has directed the New Mexico Department of Health to change the rule, which would now make that information public for the first time.” Martinez spokesman Chris Sanchez said.
The Department of Health has previously defended the confidentiality rule as necessary for the security of medical pot producers and patients. A Health Department spokesman said in 2013 that the release of producer information could lead to the disclosure of production locations, and patient information could be compromised.

Grow organic food anywhere with Grow Kits.
We supply villagers with plant growing bags, non-GMO food crop seeds plus all-natural mineral nutrients to grow 100% organic food. We teach them how to grow a wide range of crops in any sunny spot.
About Our Grow Kits
Each Grow Kit includes everything needed for local villagers to grow their own organic food, year-round:
Growing bags to allow food growing in reduced spaces.
Non-GMO seeds for their ancestral crops as well as high-yielding greens and beans.
All-natural mineral nutrients (same as found in manure, minus the cow) to grow maximum-nutrition organic greens, vegetables, herbs and even fruits.
Benefits of Grow Kits
We give the local villagers a CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM to grow a wide range of crops, anywhere. All necessary components are included in a lightweight heavy-duty shrink wrap bag for easy transport into remote jungle locations.
This is the lowest cost and lowest tech program we offer, using low cost yet long-lasting materials.
Since this program launched in 2022, we have distributed Grow Kits to over 30 villages outside of Mbale, Uganda. An additional 20 villages are being added this year.
Interested in a Partnership?
Whether you're an individual donor or a corporation looking to align with a meaningful cause, our grow kit project in remote Ugandan jungles offers a unique opportunity to drive lasting change. Your support fuels self-sufficiency, food security, and resilience among families facing adversity.

The temporary ban comes as South Australia imposes new restrictions after 18 community cases of Covid-19 were found.
Authorities in Adelaide are scrambling to get on top of a growing coronavirus outbreak after South Australia’s first known incidence of community transmission since April was reported on Sunday. A cleaner working at a quarantine hotel in Adelaide’s northern suburbs is believed to have caught Covid-19 from a hard surface, before passing the highly contagious disease to two security guards at the property and 15 members from the same family group, including two people working at an aged care home. To date, contact tracers have found a single cluster of 18 infections.
Sweeping new coronavirus restrictions took effect across South Australia at 11:59 p.m. last night. While schools are still open, gyms and recreational facilities have been closed and will likely remain so for the next two weeks. The number of patrons at restaurants, pubs, and clubs is capped at 100, with churches also required to stick to the same rule; funerals can only have a maximum of 50 people in attendance. All the aforementioned venues will have to observe a rule of one person per four square meters. Meanwhile, gatherings in homes are being limited to 10 people. The South Australian government has also stopped all incoming international flights until the end of this week to ease the burden on hotel quarantine facilities.
News of the fresh outbreak in South Australia’s capital has triggered an immediate response in other states. Within 24 hours, Western Australia reimposed its hard border measures, barring all arrivals from South Australia except under “strict exemptions”, while those who have entered Queensland from Adelaide since the previous Monday must now be tested and go into 14 days of hotel quarantine. Similar entry restrictions are in place in the Northern Territory and Tasmania. Neighboring Victoria, which has now gone 18 days without any new cases, is still open to South Australia residents, who will have to undergo extra screening and may be subject to rapid Covid-19 tests. The sudden resurgence of the virus in Adelaide throws Canberra’s plan to reopen almost all internal borders by Christmas into doubt.

By now you may have seen the “Workplace Confidential” story in New York Magazine titled “The Met Who Blames Everything On the Wilpons.”
Supposedly, the person who penned this piece is either a current or former employee of the Mets. Most believe it is most likely a former player — certainly, it sounds like a disgruntled one.
If it is a former Met player, who might it be? One of the oldtimers, such as Ed Kranepool or Art Shamsky? Might it be someone from the ’86 Mets, who was recently let go — like Howard Johnson? Could it possibly be someone still associated with the Mets, such as Keith Hernandez or Bobby Ojeda? Could it be a current player?
While most are assuming it is a player, there’s every possibility it’s a former front office executive, a scout, an employee from the ticket department, or a peanut vendor — there’s nothing in the article I can see that makes me think it absolutely must be a player — current or former. Heck, it could be Mr. Met himself.
What do you think? Is it a player or a peanut vendor? Current or former? Post your thoughts in the comments.

At left the Italian government destroys the research of Dr. Eddo Rugini, a plant scientist at the University of Tuscia.
Perhaps the caption should have been “Italian Scientists and Farmers…” This bulletin is from the Crop Site. I cannot locate the original letter. Perhaps because it is only in Italian.
ITALY – 200 Italian scientists and farmers have written an appeal to President Napolitano and Prime Minister Monti. The letter specifically asks that Italy be given the possibility to compete in agriculture, both scientifically and economically, by putting a stop to the anti-GM (genetically modified) policy in Italy.
“Without research and innovation in agriculture Italian farming is going to disappear. Italian farms must be able to compete in the global market, and, without product innovation, this is not possible,” the letter states.
Most of the food that Italy imports contains GMOs. Without GM feed, “Made in Italy” would not exist.
Italy’s geographic indicators make extensive use of GM feed. The letter also points out the apparent contradiction between the prohibition of GM research, the cultivation, and the import of large quantities of GM feed.
The Italian scientific community has clearly expressed the usefulness and safety of GMOs, calling for further research and testing of these products in the open field.
The petition has been signed by 200 people, including Silvio Garattini, Umberto Veronesi, Luciano Maiani, Chiara Tonelli, Umberto Tirelli, Elena Cattaneo, Felice Cervone, Alberto Mantovani, Bruno Dalla Piccola, Carlo Alberto Redi, Piergiorgio Strata, Giulio Cossu, Luigi Rossi, Franco Nulli, Silvano Dalla Libera, Deborah Piovan, Duilio Campagnolo, and Marco Pasti.
(…)Dr. Eddo Rugini is a plant scientist who has spent his career working on woody plant propagation, using both traditional and innovative methods. A successful and productive researcher, Dr. Rugini has over 170 publications, most of which in are international journals, and over 20 book chapters, in addition to working as a professor, serving on many high level scientific panels, and serving as editor for more than a few high profile journals.
In 1982 (yes, 30 years ago), Dr. Rugini began a groundbreaking project involving transgenic olives trees, cherry trees, and kiwifruit vines. In 1998 he gained permission to grow the trees, with some very specific measures in place to prevent gene flow from the plants.
The following is paraphrased from the Fresh Plaza article Research burnt at the stake is not good for anybody by Rossella Gigli:
The cherry trees in bloom have no need to be covered, because they are not transgenic. Only the rootstock of these cherry trees is transgenic, and being triploid can not produce fertile pollen anyway. There is no chance of pollen spread from the transgenic cherry rootstock.
The olive trees, engineered both for resistance to fungal diseases and shorter trees, so far have not produced any flower. This is likely due to the tissue culture process used during transformation.
The only plants that could bloom and produce pollen are male kiwifruit plants, and every year the flowers are removed before they open. In fact, the flowers that grew this year have already been removed and throughly killed with very high heat in an autoclave. The female plants, engineered for resistance to fungal diseases, do not produce pollen and are pollinated artificially with pollen from control plants. The resulting fruit are tested in the laboratory to verify its resistance fungus, and subsequently destroyed, per the research protocol.

The youngest son of former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine was one of six people arrested on March 4 after a group of protesters interrupted a demonstration in favor of President Donald Trump.
Linwood Kaine, 24, and four others were taken into police custody on suspicion of second-degree riot during the “March 4 Trump” rally in St. Paul, Minnesota. A sixth person was arrested for disorderly conduct. They were later released without being charged, though an investigation is ongoing, according to the Pioneer Press.
Authorities say Linwood was one of 50 or so protesters who disrupted the pro-Trump rally, which took place at the Minnesota State Capitol. There were around 400 hundred people in attendance.
A smoke bomb reportedly went off during a speech, striking a 61-year-old woman in the head. She said she had been at the demonstration for 10 minutes when she saw an object flying in her direction. She was unable to move out of the way and was hit in the forehead, but was uninjured.
At one point a chemical irritant was allegedly sprayed into the crowd, causing people to scatter before the rally continued.
St. Paul Police spokesman Steve Linders said Linwood was among four protesters who set off fireworks inside the capitol building. It is not known whether Linwood actually lit any of the fireworks himself.
One of the event’s organizers, Elisa Sarmento, spoke to Pioneer Press about the altercation.
“All we wanted to do was just celebrate our president in our own country,” she said. “We have the freedom to do it and for those young kids to come … and disrupt and hurt people, that’s very disappointing.”
Linwood and the others were arrested down the street after fleeing the scene on foot. Linwood reportedly resisted arrest, causing the officer to use “some force” to subdue him.
“He turned around and squared up to fight with the officer,” Linders said. “The officer was able to place Mr. Kaine under arrest and take him to the Ramsey County jail for booking.”
Police were unaware that they had arrested Tim Kaine’s son until a Pioneer Press journalist brought it to their attention.
On March 7, after Linwood had been released from police custody, Senator Kaine gave a statement to the Pioneer Press in which he supported his son’s right to express himself responsibly.
“We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues,” he said. “They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully.”
The senator has two other children with his wife, Anne Houlton. Their oldest son, Nat, is a Marine currently deployed overseas, while their only daughter, Anella, is a student in college, according to The Washington Post.

Woman Laughs As Judge Hands Down Sentence, She’s Not Laughing NOW!


The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to have gender identity and gender expression training added to the Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils’ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training, and individual neighborhood councils will have additional training if they have a board member or actively involved community member who has transitioned or made it known that they changed their name or preferred pronouns.
“The neighborhood council system should be a welcoming place where everyone who wants to participate is treated with dignity and respect. Sadly this is not always the case,” Councilman Bob Blumenfield, who introduced the motion, said before the vote.
“This item responds to the manner in which a young person was treated at a neighborhood council in my district based on their gender identity and gender expression.”
Blumenfield said he hopes the mandatory training for all neighborhood councils will help prevent people from treating others with disrespect, instead of simply addressing a problem when it arises.
“It’s important for the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to do that so the neighborhood council and its board members act properly and do not create problems from the start, rather than waiting for a problem to explode.”
The motion was meant to enhance Councilman Mike Bonin’s motion, which was approved last summer, to create the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion training for neighborhood councils.
Councilman Mitch O’Farrell thanked Blumenfield during the meeting for the addition, calling it a “great improvement to the initial motion.”
O’Farrell also spoke about an initiative to get all city departments to receive similar training, which he said is being developed.
“Many years ago on this Council, I introduced an initiative that requires mandatory training in terms of transgender awareness and sensitivity for all city departments, all elected officials, all elected officials’ staff members, and that includes the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, and that training is being developed as we speak and should be ready for rollout imminently,” O’Farrell said.

A ceremony has been conducted at Young High School to mark the completion of the highest point of the new joint-use library facility as well as the official handover of the school’s new canteen, student toilets, and staff hub.
Nationals Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said she was looking forward to watching the new library take shape in the coming months.
“It is fantastic to celebrate this milestone for a project which will allow the school and local community to share and benefit from wonderful new facilities,” Ms Cooke said.
Located in the Young High School grounds, the new two and-a-half storey library will include learning spaces, video conferencing and multimedia facilities, children’s activity area, coffee bar and the Wiradjuri learning and cultural centre.
The design has been developed in close consultation with heritage consultants GML Heritage & Lantern Heritage to acknowledge the cultural significance of the site.
Nationals Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said she was proud the NSW Government and the Hilltops Council were working together to deliver such an important project for the people of Young.
“We are committed to strengthening education infrastructure in regional areas to support the future of all children in NSW. This joint-use project also presents an opportunity to deliver new library facilities and high-quality resources to the wider Young community.”
The NSW Government is investing $8.6 billion in school infrastructure over the next four years, continuing its program to deliver 160 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW.
This builds on the more than $9.1 billion invested in projects delivered since 2017, a program of $17.7 billion in public education infrastructure.

Well, the verdict is in.
Punxsutawney Phil has seen his own shadow which means six more weeks of winter.
And I couldn’t be happier about that.
More chances to wear cozy jumpers, drink hot chocolate and to wait by the window for any sign of snow.
Back in Texas it’s pretty rare to get snow and if we did in North Texas it would maybe be about an inch? Everything would shut down and we’d have to hope there were enough snacks in the house until it all melted away… about 12 hours later.
So, yeah. I get childishly excited about snow.
And despite all the chatter about snowfall heading to Glasgow- it’s definitely something that has been lacking this winter season.
So, I decided to create my own!
Pecan Snowballs, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Russian Teacakes- this type of cookie has loads of different names, but still basically one delicious taste.
I’ve added a little ‘natural’ sugar to the recipe with maple syrup to give it that extra warm feeling. These cookies have a soft crumbly texture and loads of powdered sugar to give it that ‘snowball’ melting sensation.
The cookies are a little messy to make and eat… but just imagine how cute you’ll look with flecks of powdered sugar all over your face! Awww.
Maple Pecan Snowballs
Makes 2.5 – 3 dozen
1 cup butter
1/3 cup powdered sugar + 2 cups more for dunking
2 cups plain white flour
2 tablespoons cornflour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup toasted, coarsely chopped pecans
1. Preheat oven to 350 (176) degrees and get your cookie sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
2. Pour pecans into a pan and heat on medium until toasted- around 5-7 minutes. You should start to smell the pecans toasting, but be careful not to burn them. Once done, remove from heat and cool. Chop up coarsely for later.
3. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer beat butter in a large bowl until it lightens in colour and becomes fluffy, 6-8 minutes.
4. In a small bowl mix together flour, salt, cornflour and cinnamon. Set aside.
5. Add powdered sugar to the whipped butter and mix for an additional 3-4 minutes until fully incorporated. Then add maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat on high for an additional two minutes.
6. In three batches, add the flour mixture into the butter mixture. In total mixing for another 5-7 minutes.
Don’t Panic! Your cookie batter should look like a giant bowl of sandy crumbs.
7. Add your chopped pecans and mix gently with a wooden spoon or your hands to distribute pecans evenly amongst the batter.
8. You should now be able to form little cookie dough balls with the mixture. If you’re having a hard time getting the mix to stick together then refrigerate the dough for half an hour. Here is a view of them unbaked below.
Ideally you want the size of the cookie to be one or two bites. They are petite, but I’ll be honest and say I made a batch of slightly chunkier snowballs… it’s your call though, because after all you’re the boss!
10. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Baked cookies below.
11. Once the cookies reach a warm temperature- drunk them in a bowl of powdered sugar and cover completely. Set aside and once completely cool double dunk the cookies making sure there is a thick coat of powdered sugar. You can then keep these in an airtight container for up to four days.
I find that these Pecan Snowballs are best enjoyed with a hot beverage for that full melt in your mouth effect.
Enjoy and here’s to creating your own weather!

Medicaid spending in state budgets is becoming the largest line item costs in many state governments. State Budget Solutions had this national average stat:
Though the federal government provides some Medicaid funds via matching rates, this welfare program has been taking up a larger and larger share of state budgets in recent years. In fact, Medicaid is the largest category of state spending, accounting for 23.6 percent of state budget expenditures according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. That percentage is likely to increase over time.
Indiana currently spends over 27% of their budget on Medicaid.

With Occupy Wall Street getting more attention every day, it may seem as though Americans are ready for income redistribution policies instead of tax breaks for the wealthy. Or maybe not. Data shows that public support for redistribution has dropped steadily during the recession: “For years, the General Social Survey has asked individuals whether ‘government should reduce income differences between the rich and the poor.’ Agreement with this statement dropped dramatically between 2008 and 2010, the two most recent years of data available.”
What’s the Big Idea?
Why do people seemingly act against their own economic self-interest by opposing income redistribution policies? Princeton economics professor Ilyana Kuziemko says people nearest the bottom are afraid redistribution will allow their neighbors to catch up or even leapfrog their own achievements. The phenomenon is known as ‘last place aversion’. Still, Kuziemko says that by focusing its ire on the super-rich, Occupy Wall Street may overcome people’s tendency to fear being outpaced by those immediately below them.
