text: The gene products of Gazdar murine sarcoma virus (Gz-MuSV) were identified by in vitro translation of Gz-MuSV virion RNA. An overlapping set of proteins with approximate molecular weights of 37,000 (37K), 33K, 24K, and 18K were synthesized from the transforming gene of Gz-MuSV, v-mosGz. In addition, Gz-MuSV-specific RNA directed the in vitro synthesis of a 62K gag gene protein and a 37.5K env gene-related product. The Gz-MuSV-specific in vitro translation products were compared with the in vitro translation products of M-MuSV 124, an independent isolate with a similar v-mos gene. This analysis showed that the 62K Gz-MuSV gag gene protein and the 37K, 33K, 24K, and 18K v-mosGz proteins were almost identical to the M-MuSV 124 62K (gag) and 37K, 33K, 24K, and 18K (v-mosMo) proteins that we previously identified and characterized. The 37.5K env gene product from Gz-MuSV does not have a correlate in the M-MuSV 124 translation products. These results were analyzed in the context of expectations based on similarities and differences in genetic organization of these two viral genomes.

We have built an image acquisition and processing system based on a modular frame grabber board (MFG) for use with scanning (or scanning transmission) electron microscopes. The variable‐scan acquisition module of the grabber board provides compatibility with electron microscopes processing various scan speeds, e.g., the very slow scan rate of our mirror‐type electron microscope. In addition to the acquisition function, the board provides many image processing capabilities. A special time‐base unit was built to synchronize the acquisition system with the scanning system on the electron microscope. A Windows application has been built to operate the MFG as well as manage all functions of the electron microscope. Using this approach we have been able to greatly simplify the task of digital image acquisition as well as creating a powerful and seamless interface to our Windows‐based environment. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

CORNWALL – A few adjustments to SD&G’s geared-to-income housing will mean a reduction in the amount of taxes the city needs to collect this year.
In a report to the city’s budget meeting this afternoon, CFO Tracey Bailey lays out the changes to the amount of rent collected and property taxes the city pays to the Cornwall and Area Housing Corporation (CAHC) and Cornwall and Area Non Profit Housing Corporation (CNPHC).
With a couple of rule changes, the city is anticipating an increase in rent from geared-to-income units of $80,000, of which $61,720 would be the city’s share.
As well, a provincially-mandated change to tax ratios will mean the city will have to pay $135,131 less in taxes to the housing corporation.
Projected revenue has also been adjusted to bring in another $15,430 this year.
The Cornwall and Area Housing Corporation, administered by the city, runs as an arms-length entity for the City of Cornwall and the United Counties of Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry.
In addition to the social housing changes, there’s also the removal of a $55,000 payback to the reserve fund to repair the mural wall at 11-17 Second Street West. The money, borrowed last fall, was supposed to be paid back this year. But the building owner didn’t start the project last year so the money wasn’t spent.
In all, the changes will mean an overall reduction in the levy of $267,281.
The budget meeting starts at 4 p.m. today (Monday) at city hall.

France’s President Emmanuel Macron may have to deal with a second coronavirus wave in the coming months as cases continue to rise. The country’s health minister, Olivier Véran, has warned the current data trends show the COVID-19 numbers moving in a “worrying direction”. Euronews’ Oliver Whitfield-Miočić highlighted the concerning trends and the magnitude of the problem in France.
He said: “The reproductive rate of COVID-19 has been on the rise since June in France.
“It is a key indicator of how contagious the virus is.
“If the number is above one, infections will begin to climb exponentially, below one аnd new cаses should fаll.”
Mr Whitfield-Miočić аlso went into detаils аbout the vаrying COVID-19 reproductive rаtes аcross Frаnce.
DON’T MISS:Coronаvirus set for surge аs key chаnge set to spаrk more cаses in UK
He sаid: “The figures vаry wildly аs only three of Frаnce’s mаinlаnd regions hаve аn R rаte below one.
“In populаr tourist destinаtions such аs Pаris, Mаrseille аnd Monаco the virus is becoming more infectious.
“In the northern region of Brittаnny the R rаte is 1.9 meаning eаch person with COVID-19 is potentiаlly pаssing the virus on to two other people.”
Regions аround the country hаve begun introducing new meаsures to help curb the rise in coronаvirus cаses.
Mr Whitfield-Miočić outlined some of the wаys аreаs were аttempting this аnd politiciаns’ response to the increаse in coronаvirus cаses.
He sаid: “Due to аn influx of COVID-19 cаses, the coаstаl resort of Quiberon hаs brought in new meаsures.
“Beаches, pаrks аnd gаrdens now hаve night time curfews to prevent people from gаthering on wаrm summer evenings.
“The fаr-right nаtionаl rаlly pаrty sаys it is not just the cаses thаt аre inside Frаnce thаt аre concerning.”
On coronаvirus, Nаtionаl Rаlly Pаrty leаder Mаrine Le Pen sаid: “Hospitаls аre reporting аdmission in intensive cаre for people coming or returning from аbroаd.
“With thаt, the borders remаin аlmost wide open.”

The French Prime Minister Jeаn Cаstex hаs аrgued аgаinst these clаims аnd insisted Frаnce is testing more аnd tightening the restrictions on its borders.
Another worrying trend in Frаnce is the increаse in young people contrаcting the coronаvirus.
Jerome Mаrty from Frаnce’s Privаte Prаctitioner’s Union offered reаsons аs to why this mаy be.
Mr Mаrty sаid: “It is evident thаt young people аre not fully respecting sociаl distаncing.
“We hаve hаd аn increаse in infections аnd becаuse we аre testing more people now we аre finding thаt more people аre аctuаlly cаrrying the virus.”

- Energy Consumption Patterns and Load Forecasting with Profiled CNN-LSTM Networks ( ), In Processes, volume 9, 2021.
By virtue of the steady societal shift to the use of smart technologies built on the increasingly popular smart grid framework, we have noticed an increase in the need to analyze household electricity consumption at the individual level. In order to work efficiently, these technologies rely on load forecasting to optimize operations that are related to energy consumption (such as household appliance scheduling). This paper proposes a novel load forecasting method that utilizes a clustering step prior to the forecasting step to group together days that exhibit similar energy consumption patterns. Following that, we attempt to classify new days into pre-generated clusters by making use of the available context information (day of the week, month, predicted weather). Finally, using available historical data (with regard to energy consumption) alongside meteorological and temporal variables, we train a CNN-LSTM model on a per-cluster basis that specializes in forecasting based on the energy profiles present within each cluster. This method leads to improvements in forecasting performance (upwards of a 10% increase in mean absolute percentage error scores) and provides us with the added benefit of being able to easily highlight and extract information that allows us to identify which external variables have an effect on the energy consumption of any individual household.

- Employability prediction: a survey of current approaches, research challenges and applications ( ), In Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 2021.
Student employability is crucial for educational institutions as it is often used as a metric for their success. The job market landscape, however, more than ever dynamic, is evolving due to the globalization, automation, and recent advances in Artificial Intelligence. Identifying the significant factors affecting employability, as well as the requirements of the new job market can tremendously help all stakeholders. Knowing their weaknesses and strengths, students might better plan their career. Instructors can focus on more appropriate skill sets to meet the requirements of rapidly evolving labor markets. Program managers can anticipate and improve their curriculum to build new competencies, both for educating, training and reskilling current and future workers. All these combined efforts certainly can contribute to increasing employability. Data driven and machine learning techniques have been extensively used in various fields of educational data mining. More and more studies are investigating data mining techniques for the prediction of employability. Yet, these studies show a lot of variation, for instance, with respect to the data used, the methods adopted, or even the research questions posed. In this paper, we aim to depict a clear picture of the art, clarifying for each standard step of data mining process, the differences, and similarities of these studies, along with further suggestions. Thus, this survey provides a comprehensive roadmap, enabling the application of data mining for employability.

The problem of global optimal evaluation for multi-robot allocation has gained attention constantly, especially in a multi-objective environment, but most algorithms based on swarm intelligence are difficult to give a convergent result. For solving the problem, we established a Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue method of multi-robot for multi-tasks based on the real textile combing production workshop, consumption, and different task characteristics of mobile robots. The Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue method could traversal calculates the profit of each robot corresponding to different tasks with global traversal over a finite set, then an optimization result can be converged to the global optimal value avoiding the problem that individual optimization easy to fall into local optimal results. In the numerical simulation, for fixed set of multi-object and multi-task, we used different numbers of robots allocation operation. We then compared with other methods: Hungarian, the auction method, and the method based on game theory. The results showed that Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue reduced the number of robots used by at least 17%, and the delay time could be reduced by at least 16.23%.

Safe water is becoming a scarce resource, due to the combined effects of increased population, pollution, and climate changes. Water quality monitoring is thus paramount, especially for domestic water. Traditionally used laboratory-based testing approaches are manual, costly, time consuming, and lack real-time feedback. Recently developed systems utilizing wireless sensor network (WSN) technology have reported weaknesses in energy management, data security, and communication coverage. Due to the recent advances in Internet-of-Things (IoT) that can be applied in the development of more efficient, secure, and cheaper systems with real-time capabilities, we present here a survey aimed at summarizing the current state of the art regarding IoT based smart water quality monitoring systems (IoT-WQMS) especially dedicated for domestic applications. In brief, this study probes into common water-quality monitoring (WQM) parameters, their safe-limits for drinking water, related smart sensors, critical review, and ratification of contemporary IoT-WQMS via a proposed empirical metric, analysis, and discussion and, finally, design recommendations for an efficient system. No doubt, this study will benefit the developing field of smart homes, offices, and cities.

Research has shown that adopting habits and hobbies that promote cognitive stimulation may delay the onset of Alzheimer’s and other memory-related illnesses. Video games, which require players to utilize critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the use of complex controls, can be a fun and engaging way to promote senior well-being. Here are four ways that video games can benefit older adults.
Playtime for adults is integral to well-being – it helps us stay engaged, explore our imagination, and express our creativity. By and large, video games are designed to be fun. What fun means to you or your loved one can vary greatly – but thankfully, there are plenty of genres with varying levels of complexity and difficulty to appeal to a wide range of people. From puzzle games to farming and social sims to globetrotting adventures, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
So, what if your loved one is interested in games but has physical limitations? Game developers have also come a long way in making games more accessible to people of varying abilities. If your loved one has arthritis, sight problems, or hearing impairment, there are options out there that make it easier for them to join in on the fun.
As mentioned, there are a variety of video game genres that require different types of player interaction. This interactivity has been linked to a number of potential cognitive benefits in older adults. For example, action games test a player’s sensory discrimation, “leading to efficient and rapid information processing.” Interacting with a game’s mechanics may help improve the player’s cognitive skills, while also providing a whole lot of fun!
Many games, particularly social sims, are built around the idea of community. This year, Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons gained serious attention when the game was released back in March – when suddenly everyone was spending a whole lot of time indoors. The premise of the game finds the player meeting new animal neighbors and building their community. “It feels like company,” said one 88-year-old Animal Crossing fan.
Video games can also connect people through multiplayer fun – be it playing together on the couch or online. Whether that’s challenging your loved one to a friendly race in Mario Kart or collaborating on projects in Minecraft, video games can provide opportunities for bonding and joyous social interaction.

One of my resolutions was to eat more delicious food (there was something in there about high-fiber dishes, but I dropped it). Fortunately, my searches of the blogsphere have uncovered a few new ways to do that:
Haute Wheels Lohud's Small Bites blog reports on what it dubs "Westchester's first gourmet food truck." Parking daily in Yorktown Heights, Sharion's D'lish Dish serves up such fare as black bean cilantro soup, BBQ beef on brioche, chicken parmesan sandwiches, New England clam chowder, and cajun-seasoned waffle fries. The truck is open from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Baked Goodies Another new spot in Croton is Baked by Susan, a bakery serving up cookies, brownies, and other treats. The Westchester Eats blog reports that Susan Okeefe's goods have long been available in shops around town, but now they have a home of their own at 163 Grand Street.
Here's wishing for more culinary options in the new year!

The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the just concluded Anambra State Governorship Election, Senator Andy Uba, has rejected the outcome of the polls.
Uba said this in a statement titled, ‘Senator Andy Uba Rejects the outcome of Anambra Governorship Election,’ signed by the Spokesman for his campaign organisation, Jerry Ugokwe, on Thursday.
He described the results as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission “as a charade” which was not reflective of the wishes and aspirations of the people of the state.
The campaign organisation said, “Our popular candidate, Senator Andy Uba is a victim of widespread electoral fraud and manipulation by INEC in cohorts with the Willie Obiano Regime and the security forces deployed to oversee the Anambra State Governorship Election.
“The elections were characterised by widespread irregularities, intimidation and voter suppression in order to clear the path for the inglorious ‘victory’ of APGA in the polls.
“For instance, in polling units where the Biometric Voters’ Accreditation System malfunctioned, INEC went ahead to conduct the elections manually. There were numerous cases where votes announced by INEC exceeded the number of accredited voters in polling units.
“Another clear manifestation of collusion between the Obiano Administration and INEC was the publishing of results on the Social Media handles of APGA even before official announcement by INEC. Yet mysteriously, the votes announced in advance by APGA always corresponded correctly with the official figures released by INEC.
“It is inconceivable that our candidate, who polled over 200,000 votes in the APC primary election would be allocated slightly above 43,000 votes by INEC.
“It is surprising that APGA that lost almost 80 per cent of its stalwarts through defection to the APC before the election came out ‘victorious’. A sitting APGA Deputy Governor, seven members of the House of Representatives, 10 members of the Anambra State House of Assembly, the APGA party’s member of Board of Trustees, many serving SA’s, SSA’s, in addition to a serving PDP Senator all defected to the APC very timely before the election, yet APGA emerged ‘victorious’. This is quite ridiculous.”
The organisation vowed to pursue its “stolen mandate” to the limits allowed by the law of the land.

'Club players will be lost unless we act'
The GAA will continue to lose club players if the current fixtures imbalance continues.
That is the warning from director-general Páraic Duffy in a discussion paper that condenses the detail of eight previous fixtures and burnout-themed reports going back to 2004.
Duffy has stressed that the time for talking about fixtures chaos is over and that action needs to be taken if the GAA is to be true to "the values we profess and seek to embody."
An 11-point plan seeks to rebalance more in favour of the club player by essentially clearing more ground in August, September and October for counties to complete their club championship programmes.
"We should be fully aware that the GAA will continue to lose club players who are not offered a regular, planned and coherent set of competitive matches.
"We must therefore take decisive action," states Duffy. "Ducking the difficult choices that these issues pose for the Association simply by saying 'no' to these proposals is neither a responsible nor a credible stance."
Among the proposals in the plan are the abolition of the All-Ireland U-21 football championship, a move which was on the table eight years ago but lacked support at the time. Plans to switch minor at inter-county level from U-18 to U-17 and the bringing forward of the dates of the All-Ireland hurling and football finals by two weeks are the main proposals which the paper endorses to buy more time for club fixtures.
The completion of the All-Ireland club championship in December is also recommended but this has faced opposition already from all six Munster counties who are concerned over the impact on dual counties.
Duffy said any restructuring of the senior football championship should not "under any circumstance make it more difficult to play club games."

LOVE is one of our innate TWELVE POWERS. We express LOVE as our ability harmonize, unify, desire, and be loving.
Evidence of love fills my senses in the taste and aroma of my favorite holiday recipes. I hear it in Christmas music, sung with joy. I feel love in a child’s enthusiastic hug and in a friend’s caring touch. I see love and joy in the festive decorations adorning houses and neighborhoods.
I am in awe of all the ways friends, family, and neighbors lovingly surround me at Christmastime. Throughout the year, that loving feeling remains the most beautiful evidence of the POWER of LOVE in and through all things. I perceive DIVINE LOVE in every person and all situations.

Microelectronics has dramatically reduced the cost and increased the capabilities of electronics. We are poised on a similar revolution for micromechanical devices.
Micro-mechanical motors and other devices the diameter of a human hair open many new potential applications. As with the earlier microelectronics revolution, there is much potential to prosper and grow in micromechanics. This seminar discusses how to use these Lilliputian devices to advantage. Special emphasis is given to the commercialization of this technology.
In many applications, small mechanical devices have advantages. They can respond very rapidly, can occupy a small volume, are lightweight, can handle microscopic devices with finesse, consume little power, and are potentially low cost.
This seminar will emphasize micromechanics and MEMS applications. After each topic is discussed, relevant applications will be examined. Questions and discussions from the participants are encouraged.
A number of different technologies for fabricating microdevices will be discussed: silicon surface and bulk micromachining, LIGA, EDM machining, single point diamond machining, plating, and molding.
The presentations will be given by W. Trimmer. Presentations can range from one to six hours, and are non- proprietary. It is suggested the seminar be held in the morning, leaving the afternoon free for discussions. For availability please call (908) 359 0012 or fax (908) 359 2094. A typical schedule is given below.

His Excellency Saeed Bin Muhammad Al Raqabani (Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries of the United Arab Emirates) (Original language Arabic)
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Ladies and Gentlemen
It is my pleasure to transmit to you the greetings of His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab, Emirates, and his wishes for the success of this World Food Summit: five years later.
We also wish to greet the Italian President, Mr. Ciampi, who, honoured us with his presence at the opening of this meeting and also congratulate Mr. Silvio Berlusconi for being elected Chairman of the Summit itself. Naturally, we extend our appreciation to the people and the, Government of Italy for their very warm we1come to us all for this summit, which has gathered us to discuss such critical issues as hunger, malnutrition and the fight against poverty in the world. We also pay tribute to Mr. Jacques Diouf the distinguished Director General of FAO, for his untiring efforts to achieve food security and sustainable agricultural development.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has been five years since Rome declaration and the plan of action of World Food Summit at which it has been committed to, reduce the number of the hungry people to half However the commitments were not realized and there are still 800 million people suffer from hunger, poverty and malnutrition most of them live in rural areas and mostly depend on Agriculture to earn their living and what made thinks worse was that the food production was negatively affected due to natural disasters, water scarcity and wars.
It's just impossible to achieve food security and Agriculture development in the circumstance of war and dispute. Therefore we are looking forward to finding out a suitable method to enhance the peaceful solution to end disputes among countries.
The continuous practices of Israeli forces against Palestinian people represented in siege, occupation, destruction, devastation, deforestation and degradation of agricultural lands are considered a violation to UN charter, traditions, the international laws and human rights
The achievement of just and comprehensive peace in the world shall enhance the fight against poverty and will lead to economical, social and human development especially in the frame of globalization and the revolution of information Technology. Therefore we find ourselves responsible to work together to protect and preserve the lives of the human being.
The achievement of food security and sustainable agricultural development requires the cooperation of the international community, encourage the private sector to invest in agricultural projects, increase research, boost technological progress and above all, take the necessary steps to increase Agricultural productivity of food production and to make available the financial, technical and human resources.
We in the United Arab Emirates believe in the importance of Agricultural development in achieving food security. In response to the directions of H. H. Sheikh Zaid Bin Sultan Al Nahyan the President of the UAE the Government of the UAE acts for the encouragement and development of Agricultural, Animal and Fisheries sectors in spite of the challenges of the harsh climate, This policy contributed much to the spread of greenery increase of production and achieving self sufficiency in certain crops.
We, of course, rally around the Rome Declaration, adopted back in the 1996 Summit, and the commitment to reduce by 50 percent the hungry people in the world. UAE is active in offering agricultural credit to a number of countries in the world, in order to support their agricultural development programmes through Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, and through charitable associations in UAE such as Zaid Charitable Association and the UAE Red Crescent Association.
In appreciation of the untiring efforts of the President of the UAE to boost and support the fight against hunger and his personal interest to fulfill the agricultural development as well as the protection of environment and achieving food security, numerous regional and international. organizations have awarded him with medals and prizes.
We recognize also, Mr. Chairman, that bilateral, as well as multilateral cooperation leads to serving mutual interest of the people and we ask the world community especially Rome organizations to cooperate and coordinate its efforts to ensure that the objectives set in 1996 are met. Most of all, we must stress the right of individuals to obtain food and that food shall not be used as an instrument for political and economical pressure.
We would also like to stress on the importance of the FAO role under the leadership of Director General Jacques Diouf and its cooperation with the government to strength its efforts and work u an International Alliance against hunger and implementation of the World Food Summit plan of action and building of national capacity in fight against poverty and hunger. We also support forming of international governmental work team within the frame of World Food Summit follow up to lay down guidelines to he1p the member countries in achieving food security for their people. The time for promises has gone and the time now is for action.
Finally we hope by the grace of Allah that this Summit outcome will contribute practically in eradication of poverty and hunger in the world.
Thank you Mr. Chairman

Honduras: ” They want to terrorize the communities that fight to defend their territory”
- 24 Oct 2016
In Honduras, seven months after the murder of Berta Cáceres, the environmentalist leader renowned for her tenacity in the fight for the environment and the rights of indigenous communities, a new assassination attempt took place against Tomás Membreño, the new leader of the Civil Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). We talked to Bertha Zúñiga, daughter of Berta Cáceres, to understand the causes of this widespread violence against all those who denounce the policies of the Honduran government together with corporate and media elites. Although there are a several ongoing criminal investigations, there seems to be little reason for hope in the near future…
Just a month after the murder of Berta Cáceres, Jon Yon Kim, the president of the World Bank, justified in these terms the construction of the hydroelectric dam Agua Zarca by Honduran company DESA: “people [in Honduras] need energy. There’s a lot of critique of hydro-power but they are going to put it in place anyway”. (1)
And so the Lenca peoples’ defense of their land and the murder of Berta Cáceres are small matters for an organization that declares “a world free of poverty” as its final goal: “you cannot do the work we’re trying to do and not have some of these incidents happen”. What he did not expect was to receive a letter signed by 313 organizations from around the world, contesting these statements and reminding him that “according to the World Bank’s internal policy, the Bank and other financial institutions must ensure respect of human rights in the projects they finance”.
Contract killing carries on with total impunity
Everything points towards a carefully planned repression, and not a few isolated incidents. In late June, a Honduran soldier leaked a list of militants “to be eliminated”. On July 10th Lesbia Yaneth, mother of three and also a member of the COPINH, was assassinated. Over the course of the last decade, the number of environmental activists from this small country who have met the same fate has risen to 114. Before Cáceres’ murder there were 33 instances of death threats against activists who opposed the Agua Zarca project in the Gualcarque river. Since then, five activists who had publicly opposed this project have been killed.
On October 9th, in separate incidents, unknown groups opened fire against two COPINH leaders, including the current General Coordinator of COPINH Tomás Membreño. Bertha Zúñiga talks about the health condition of her comrade and the state of insecurity after such a serious event:
“The attempt against Tomás was meant to terrorize the people that will strongly fight to defend their land. It is clear that for as long as there is this reign of impunity, which has allowed for the murder of several of our comrades, and the harassment from companies like DESA prevails, sooner of later these kinds of actions will claim other lives. Comrade Tomás remains steadfast in this struggle and has taken some security precautions to avoid being exposed, but there is a generalized concern from all of us in COPINH”. (2)
For several months, the dam projects in the Negro and Gualcarque rivers have given rise to the mobilization of opposed local communities. COPINH has worked to stop these projects while continuously facing threats and intimidation. Zúñiga talks about powerful forces behind these constant attacks: “What’s behind all this is the economic interest of powerful groups that stand to lose their investments because of the struggle of COPINH and local communities, they know that a defeat of Agua Zarca will be a powerful precedent in the struggle for land rights. Spreading fear is part of their strategy to set up these projects in spite of opposition from local communities.”
Sacrificing a few pawns to save the “Queen”
Bertha Zúñiga seriously doubts that government authorities can play a role in stopping the violence against indigenous communities: “The authorities keep repeating the same negligent and inept actions that led to the murder of Berta Cáceres. They keep showing no political will towards defending activists. To this day, they haven’t enacted the precautionary measures recommended by the CIDH after the murder of the general coordinator of our organization”.
In early May, four suspects in the murder of Berta Cáceres were arrested, and three of them were employees of DESA. While one of these was a retired army captain, the fourth one was an active army officer with the rank of Infantry Major. At this moment, the relatives of Cáceres highlighted the links between the suspects and the company, considering them “sufficient reason to suspend the hydroelectric project… immediately and indefinitely”. (3)
These days, after several months have passed, Bertha Zúñiga reflects on the depth of these connections: “the oligarchic groups have great influence, they mobilize the army to repress people. We should point out that since the 2009 coup many military people have become shareholders in extractive industry projects (hydroelectric, mining, and others). But the corrupt mafias also allow for the organization of criminal groups that work in coordination with major corporations, like this case of DESA-Agua Zarca”.
On October 14th, the vice-minister of the State Secretary of Natural Resources and the Environment, Dario Cardona Valle, was arrested due to irregularities in the environmental license granted to the Agua Zarca hydroelectric project in 2013. But Zúñiga questions the limits of the ongoing investigations: “The arrests that have taken place up to now are just a smokescreen to create some sense of justice, but still no measures have been taken against the DESA company which was directly implicated in the murder of Berta Cáceres. If this is what happens in such a high profile case, what should we expect from all the other episodes that COPINH and its members have faced for years? Quite the opposite of justice, since state agents have played their part in the harassment, repression and even assassinations”.
Her testimony and warnings should move us to create a far-reaching, international solidarity movement with the indigenous communities, the Honduran people and their struggle.

My first reaction to watching Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 was…bravery. Wispy 27-year-old Joni Mitchell, alone on the concert stage and surrounded by The Who’s mountains of speakers, faced a hostile crowd of 600,000 attendees. A mob of people were trying to break down the fences to enter the Festival without paying. Radicals were accusing the musicians of “playing for money” when everything should be free!
Into this volatile situation, the Festival promoters maneuvered Joni Mitchell on the stage. “They threw me to the Beast,” Joni Mitchell says in her commentary. Alternating between her guitar, piano, and dulcimer, Joni Mitchell gamely tried to reach out to the acres of people. There’s noise, there’s disruption. You can see the frustration and anguish on Joni Mitchell’s face as the audience grows more ugly. And, amazingly, Joni Mitchell faces down those 600,000 people and brings order out of chaos. It’s one of the most courageous performances I’ve ever seen. And, all the while, Joni Mitchell’s voice soars over the restless Festival attendees.
Back in 1970, I was in love with Joni Mitchell (and Diana Rigg, Grace Slick, Marianne Faithfull, and a dozen more female singers and actresses). I owned all of Joni Mitchell’s albums. If you’re a Joni Mitchell fan, Joni Mitchell, Both Sides Now: Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 is a must-buy. If you’re a casual Joni Mitchell fan, you’ll be captivated by her brave performance under dire conditions on the Isle of Wight. It doesn’t get much better than this! What’s your favorite Joni Mitchell song? GRADE: A+

This is from a series of images that I think of as my parents’ wedding pictures, although they didn’t have a wedding. They were married at the courthouse by a justice of the peace in December 1965. My father was twenty-three going on twenty-four. My mother was nineteen.
They met in Iowa City, where my father had grown up. My mother was an art major at the university. She was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC (pronounced snick), when my father came as a guest speaker to talk about his experiences registering black voters in Mississippi. He was there in 1964, when the events that became the basis for the movie Mississippi Burning unfolded. Three civil rights workers were killed.
When my father was in high school, he took poetry classes at the Writer’s Workshop. He picketed the local barber shops, which were then segregated, and his protest led to the integration of the barber shops of Iowa City. He attended the March in Washington in 1963. He heard Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Had a Dream” speech.
Down in Mississippi, my father was scared. Three dead civil rights workers. Several houses where civil right workers were staying had been bombed. At night, my father sat on the front porch, drinking whiskey and writing poems, and also writing down the license plate numbers of all the cars that went by. One night when no one was home, the house where my father stayed was bombed. He drove home to Iowa City that same night, fast as he could go.
When my mother and father met, he was living in an unheated apartment above a garage. No heat. In winter. In Iowa. She invited him to move in with her.
My mother grew up in a suburb of Chicago. In high school she fired her ceramics in a kiln that belonged to Mary Jane Ward, who wrote The Snake Pit, a book about a woman’s breakdown and her life in a mental hospital (I watched the movie version in a college class about Gothic film and fiction). She took classes at the Art Institute. She won a scholarship to study art anywhere she wanted. Her parents didn’t want her to go to art school. They wanted her to receive a more well-rounded education, and so she went to Iowa.
She lived on campus her first year. She and her friends took psilocybin caps and went bowling. One of her friends was Nicholas Meyer, who went on to write The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, a novel about Sherlock Holmes. He wrote the screenplays for several Star Trek movies. He dated Shelley Hack, the girl from the Charlie perfume commercials in the 1970s. She was also one of Charlie’s Angels.
During her second year, my mother needed permission from her parents to live off-campus. She shared a bathroom with a strange neighbor. Sometimes she would find a hair intricately wrapped around the bristles of her toothbrush. She was sure the neighbor had done this. But I, too, have found a hair wrapped around the bristles of my toothbrush, and I’m pretty sure it was my own hair. I don’t know how to explain this.
Anyway, when my mother’s parents found out that my father had moved into her apartment, they called the school to revoke the permission they had given her to live off-campus. My mother was shocked. Her parents were socially progressive. They were Unitarians. They had campaigned for Kennedy.
Married women didn’t need their parents’ permission to live off-campus. And so my parents were married. My father made a wedding ring for my mother out of a quarter. He pounded a hole in the quarter with a hammer and a nail, pounded until the quarter was a perfect silver band.
Years later, that silver band became mine. It was all that remained of my parents’ marriage. A souvenir. In high school a friend I never liked much borrowed it without asking and she lost it. Or maybe she stole it. I felt sorry for her because she lived in a trailer with her alcoholic mother.
When my parents married, my mothers’ parents disowned her. My mother dropped out of school. My mother’s sister married a doctor. My parents headed west to San Francisco. Four years later I was born. My mother phoned her parents and asked them if they wanted to know their granddaughter.
My grandmother, before dementia, told me that she had cried about my mother every day for two years. “After two years,” she said, “I decided: enough. And I never cried about it again.”
When my mother remarried, my grandfather spoke at the rehearsal dinner. He raised his glass and said of my mother’s husband-to-be, “At least this one’s better than the last one.”
Why wasn’t my father good enough for their daughter? Because he was a poet? A communist? Because he’d spent a night or two in jail?
“It was so quiet you could hear an angel drop,” my father wrote in a poem for my mother. “I startled several prairies to gift you these last October flowers.”
After I was born (in late October) my mother set the poem to music and it became my bedtime song.
In another poem he wrote: “The wife suggested recently that when she becomes quite old the seeds in her breasts will separate from the interior flesh & imitate maracas when she dances yet for me.”
I don’t recognize the people in this photograph. The teenage girl clings (look at her hands in the mirror, gnarled with tension that belies her dreamy kohl-eyed gaze) to the raft of a man who looks—afraid? Or maybe pious? His clasped hands rest casually on her shoulder. I like the echo of their hands. She is wearing the lost quarter ring. He appears to be wearing a ring, too, on his pinkie, but it might be a scratch on the negative, or a speck, or else a trick of the light.

Boats lend themselves to an excellent subject because of their bright colors. This was the third painting I finished during a two day workshop with New England artist Caleb Stone. This was painted on location at the shipyard near Essex Shipbuilding museum, Essex, Massachusetts. You can see pictures of this workshop in my earlier blog post.


NASA scientists have found a planet, in our own galaxy, and not so far far away, that has two suns just like Tatooine in Star Wars. Their Kepler space telescope detected the world circling a pair of stars 200 light years away from Earth.
It means any aliens there would enjoy the spectacle of a double sunrise and a double sunset, as Luke Skywalker did from his home planet in the celebrated series of movies.
The new world, which has the label Kepler-16b rather than an exotic name, is a cold gasball of a planet rather than a desert world like the fictional Tatooine.
But the similarity was great enough for NASA to invite a representative of the movie series’ makers Lucasfilm to join the panel that announced the discovery to the world tonight. And it marks a breakthrough for astronomy because it is the only one of more than 670 alien planets discovered outside our own solar system to orbit a double star.
It is not the first example of a Star Wars discovery in space. One of Saturn’s moons, called Mimas, has a remarkable resemblance to the Death Star thanks to a giant crater on its surface.
Observations with the planet-hunting space telescope show that Kepler-16b is similar in size to our own neighbour Saturn. It circles its twin suns once every 229 days at a distance of 65 million miles, putting it in an equivalent orbit to Venus around our own Sun.
But because the two stars are smaller and less hot than the Sun, the new planet is a cold place with temperatures as low as -100 C. Any life there could not be as we know it.
The new planet was discovered as it passed in front of the stars, causing an almost imperceptible dip in their brightness at regular intervals.
It was a complicated observation to make because the stars already eclipse each other, so that their brightness is constantly changing anyway. The two stars themselves are 21 million miles apart and circle each other every 41 days.
After Kepler’s discovery, a 60-inch telescope at the Whipple Observatory in Arizona made follow-up observations to confirm what the planet it like.
Josh Carter, a member of the discovery team, said: “Kepler-16b is the first confirmed, unambiguous example of a circumbinary planet – a planet orbiting not one, but two stars. Once again, we’re finding that our solar system is only one example of the variety of planetary systems nature can create.”
A previous study by scientists using another space telescope called Spitzer suggested that planets should be found orbiting double stars because the observatory’s heat-seeking eye detected around them the sign of dusty disks from which solar systems form.

The new EP release features 4 new songs of pure heavy metal goodness, and stunning cover artwork by Marc Sasso (DIO, HALFORD, ADRENELINE MOB, CAGE) and is being released on Vinyl and Digipak FEBRUARY 25th worldwide on STEEL CARTEL RECORDS. The digipak and vinyl versions both have an additional FREE STEEL CARTEL SAMPLER cd with 11 tracks from such bands as CAGE, SNOWY SHAW, THE THREE TREMORS, SLEDD, SEVENTRAIN, REFEXICON, MONARCH, SPIRITUAL SICKNESS and others. Many of the tracks on the sampler are new and unreleased! Each track has an introduction recorded by one of the corresponding band members and they are hilariously entertaining!
The title track can be heard here via an insane lyric video that really sets the tone for the entire 4 song journey. The theme of the record harkens back to the MAD MAX series of movies and tales of survival in a dystopian future.
Mike Lepond said “We had such a powerful positive reaction from our last record, that we felt we should get something out sooner rather than later. We had so much material written and recorded that were able to get an EP ready that is amazing sounding.”
Sean followed up by saying “I am really stoked on how the EP came out it is a great mix of heavy speed songs and classic Death Dealer mid-tempo head bangers too. The packaging again is stunning looking with custom artwork everywhere and some cool new collector’s elements we have included in the pre-order options.”
Stu Marshall said “We stayed extremely busy during all the COVID bullshit and I happy to formally announce not only is the EP here now, and the songs on the EP will NOT appear on any upcoming releases, but the 4th album is completely done and the 5th album is almost finished as well. Haaa,it was crazy how the lads and I really grinded out what I feel is our finest metal to date during that period. After all we had plenty of time on our hands so why not make more heavy metal?”
Ross The Boss chimed in about the release. “Once again we are focusing on the metal fans out there that love the music and support what we do. There will only be one song from the EP that hits the streaming platforms so this will not be on Spotify or any of that other shit. We put our hearts and souls into rock and roll and we got a tremendous amount of support for that stance we took on our last record, both from the fans that bought our stuff and the press that respected us for not just giving it away. Heavy Metal fans treat the music and physical product like a cherished thing of value to hold in your hands and collect. So this time, same thing we will give you the first track free but we are focused and embrace the hard-cores that support us by buying the albums.”
As usual STEEL CARTEL has constructed some amazing pre-order package combinations that are targeted to the heavy metal freak in all of us and the hard-core collectors. The RULER OF THE WASTLAND packages include Digi-pak and Vinyl combinations with 2 options for the vinyl colors, a Custom Death Dealer metal key chain, Band sketch print, and 2 insane T-Shirt designs. And as usual there is a “Gotta Have it All” package that has a version of everything included for the ultimate collector. In addition, all RULER OF THE WASTELAND paks will get 2 brand new, surprise cover tracks emailed to them for free! In addition, all pre-order packages will receive 2 secret, never to be released cover tracks done by the band both heavy metal classics, but to discover which songs they are you will have to grab a bundle. Like all STEEL CARTEL products, only the Video single will hit the streaming platforms, the rest will remain on physical product only.
STEEL CARTEL is also implementing a new concept for their vinyl releases, borrowed from the comic-book industry which is the addition of “Variant” cover artwork. The DEATH DEALER EP will be the first product from STEEL CARTEL to implement this. The 1 in 5 cover artwork shown below will be an option available for purchase in the store here. That means that for every 5 vinyls pressed, 1 of the variant covers is made, making it a rare collectible.

As the chill of winter starts to wear off we all get excited for warmer weather and longer days. I always know when spring is coming because a cluster of yellow tulips that the previous owner planted, pop up in our backyard. I’m thankful that whoever lived in our house before us knew how to garden because I definitely don’t have a green thumb (despite what my craft/garden/DIY Pinterest boards might lead you to believe.)
Spring also means that festival season is quickly approaching! Soon, Suwanee Town Center Park will have events nearly every weekend. There is a lot to look forward to, from: a black tie affair for the arts with “Guess Who’s Coming to Cocktails” to lots of runs for great causes; the return of Food Truck Fridays; Suwanee’s Big Cheesy Fest; and the award-winning Suwanee American Craft Beer Fest on March 19th!
In this issue you will find an exclusive Suwanee Beer Fest Guide with highly-anticipated information about what to expect at the 6th annual event. The festival organizers are confident that this year will be their best yet – which is hard to imagine that what has been dubbed the “best festival in Gwinnett” could get any better. But, they are improving the overall festival experience by altering the layout and using more of the park, in order to allow for more space, shorter lines at beer tents, and more restrooms. It’s a craft beer experience and St Paddy’s celebration unlike any other and all for a good cause too! Check out the guide on page 52 to learn more about the event and benefiting charities, Kingdom Kids and Cooper’s Crew.
For all the “under 21” kiddos there’s a lot to look forward to this year too! Our Camp Guide (page 23) is jam-packed with over 30 awesome day and overnight camps. Whatever your child’s passions and interests are, there is sure to be a camp suited just for them. I’ll never forget the experiences I had as a camper and later as a counselor. As a kid, camp pushed me out of my comfort zone, but gave me memories I’ll cherish forever. And as a counselor I loved having the opportunity to watch kids transform throughout the week from being timid or shy, to confident and believing in their own capabilities.
We hope that you enjoy our Spring issue and we can’t wait to see you soon at a Suwanee event. As always, we value your feedback and look forward to hearing from you, so feel free to email me with your thoughts, questions or comments anytime.


1. Examine the door seals.
A loosened seal permits awesome air to leak out, squandering energy and also creating your fridge to work harder than it needs to. First ensure the seals are without food deposit. (Clean them about twice a year, making use of a tooth brush and a remedy of baking soda and water.) After that attempt the dollar-bill examination: Close the costs in the door to ensure that half remains in and also half is out. If it elopes easily, you may need to have the door seals checked by a pro.
2. Keep the coils tidy.
When the condenser coils (see adhering to web page for extra on parts) are covered with dust, the refrigerator can not run successfully. Twice a year, pull the device from the wall to expose the coils in back (or snap off the grille, if the coils get on the bottom front), unplug the refrigerator, and also vacuum with the brush attachment.
3. Establish the ideal temperature.
Keep the episkevi psygeia peiraias fridge between 37 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit and also the fridge freezer at 0 levels.
4. Fill it up (also if you never ever prepare and also just have takeout).
Fridges need "thermal mass" (a.k.a. lots of stuff) to keep low temperature levels. Trendy foods and drinks aid absorb warm air that streams in when you open the door. If you're the eat-out type or your refrigerator is as well big for your demands, save a couple of containers of water in there.
5. Be prepared.
If the power heads out, maintain the doors closed and utilize foods from the kitchen. An unopened refrigerator will maintain food risk-free for four hrs; a fridge freezer will keep its temperature level for two days if full as well as 24 hours if half-full.

I’m glad he didn’t make the team.
My son tried out for a competitive 9u baseball team this summer. He had just completed the 8u season with the same team, but this time, he didn’t make the team. I went to every game and (almost) every practice, so trust me, I know his strengths and his weaknesses. Knowing his strengths and his weaknesses, as well as knowing there were over twice as many hopefuls as number of spots on the team, I also knew the odds were not in his favor. Needless to say, I was not surprised by the phone call that came on Monday morning from the coach, breaking the bad news – “He didn’t make the team.” Don’t get me wrong, my heart broke a little that day. I loved that team. Those boys, those coaches, those moms (and dads, but mostly the moms), had become dear to me over the course of the season. And when I told my boy the news, my heart broke wide open. He was crushed. He loved that team. Those boys and those coaches had become dear to him over the course of the season. And truth be told, my heart aches for him just a bit (well, maybe more than a bit), every time I hear him share this disappointment with others, but I’m glad he didn’t make the team. Why? Because if I am being honest (which I try to be, even when it’s hard), he wasn’t good enough.
In the aftermath of the disappointing news, I wiped his tears and hugged him hard. I told him that I was sorry he didn’t make it and that I knew how disappointed he was, but I didn’t tell him that he should have made the team or that it was unfair. Because if I am being honest, (which I try to be, even when it’s hard), it was fair. He wasn’t good enough. I know him, as a player, I know him. I play catch with him, I pitch to him, I coach him. I watch all of his games and (almost) all of this practices, and I watched the tryout. I know his strengths and I know his weaknesses.
In this culture of participation trophies and “everyone’s a winner” (all of which I believe in and support in youth sports), I’m glad he didn’t make the team. This won’t be the last time he isn’t chosen for a team, a job, an award. It is just the first time. At age 9, some might argue that it is too soon, or too young to “be cut” from a sports team, but I disagree. My son has fallen in love with baseball and not making the team has proven to be an opportunity. An opportunity to set goals that are attainable, but require hard work, dedication and a realistic assessment of progress. When he first got the news that day, he initially told me that he no longer wanted to play baseball, but like I said, he has fallen in love with baseball. So instead of quitting or giving up, he has continued to practice, working on every aspect of his game – hitting, fielding, throwing. And all that hard work – it’s making him better – a better baseball player. But the growth is beyond baseball – it’s in focus and confidence.
His goal is to make the 10u team next year. He might make it, he might not, but, make it or not, he will know that he worked hard, he didn’t quit, he didn’t give up. He knows that he has become a better baseball player because of that hard work. It’s an experience and a lesson I hope he will carry with him through life. Goals are worth working for and dreams are worth chasing. So, as much as I loved that team – those boys, those coaches, those moms (and dads, but mostly the moms) – I’m glad he didn’t make the team.


Coming out of Los Angeles, AWE is the most interesting new act to the EDM scene, releasing his debut EP Eagle Soul in early May, after spending almost a year teasing clips online and pacifying his loyal fans with a variety of remixes.
It’s hard to believe that the person behind this music is only 19 years old, as his complex production style and wide palette of influences begs to differ. Soon-to-be a household name, AWE has been making waves with his wildly interesting take on a large variety of genres. His ambitious and colourful sound demonstrates his willingness to go against the grain both in terms of arrangement and production. The results are powerful and melodic tracks, reminiscent of Rustie’s recent sounds.
Take the title track of AWE’s debut Eagle Soul for example, an amalgam of such a wide variety of influences that there is no discernable genre to the track. The same goes for the rest of the EP, it’s filled with euro-dance synth chords, glittering arpeggios and beautiful, yet catchy synth melodies contrasted with gnarly synth lines, powerful beats and intricate sample work sure to keep you interested from start to finish. It also appears that AWE has a soft spot for Trap music, as the EP is littered with it’s influence such as the 808 bass-lines found in the track YYY and the sparkly rolling hi-hats seen in Eagle Soul.
It’s likely that one of the reasons behind AWE’s fresh sound is that he’s constantly working, often teasing clips on Facebook, or uploading a new preview or remix to his SoundCloud.
Bass music producer and DJ, Plastician has taken a shine to AWE, often playing unreleased tracks on his popular Rinse.Fm show; of which AWE received a big reception, and releasing AWE’s debut EP Eagle Soul on his label Terrorhythm.
AWE is currently doing the rounds DJing in LA and making a name for himself around the world via the Internet, and is long overdue an explosion in popularity.


Can I Use a Coffee Grinder to Mill Grain?
No, you cannot use a coffee grinder to mill grain. Coffee grinders are designed to grind coffee beans, which are much softer than grains. Grains require a coarser grind than coffee beans, and a coffee grinder will not be able to produce the right consistency.
Attempting to grind grains in a coffee grinder will damage the machine and result in poor-tasting bread or other baked goods.
- Place the coffee grinder on a flat surface
- Unscrew the top of the grinder to access the grinding chamber
- Pour your grain into the chamber, being careful not to overfill it
- Screw the top back on tightly
- Place the grinder on its side and press down firmly on the top with one hand while you twist the handle with your other hand
- Continue twisting until you hear a grinding noise, then stop and check to make sure that all of the grain has been milled evenly
- 7 Empty the chamber into a bowl or container when finished
Milling grains without a grain mill: coffee grinder, Nutri Bullet, Baby Bullet comparison
What Can I Use Instead of a Grain Mill?
If you want to mill your own flour but don’t have a grain mill, there are several other options. You can use a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender. Just be aware that each of these appliances will work differently and produce different results.
A coffee grinder is the least expensive option and can double as a spice grinder if you only want to grind a small amount of flour at a time. The advantage of using a coffee grinder is that it’s easy to find and relatively inexpensive. The downside is that it will take longer to grind the flour since most coffee grinders don’t have very powerful motors.
This also means that the resulting flour will be coarser than what you would get from a grain mill. A food processor can also be used to grind wheat into flour, but it won’t work as well as a dedicated grain mill. The advantage of using a food processor is that it’s more versatile – you can use it for other tasks in addition to grinding wheat.
However, the disadvantage is that it takes longer to grind the wheat and the resulting flour may not be as fine as what you would get from a grain mill.
However, the disadvantage is that the resulting flour will be coarser than what you would get from a grain mill and may not be suitable for all uses (e.g., baking).
Can I Use a Coffee Grinder for Wheat Berries?
If you’re wondering whether you can use a coffee grinder to grind wheat berries, the answer is yes! A coffee grinder will quickly and easily grind your wheat berries into flour. Just make sure to clean out the grinder well afterwards so that there’s no residual coffee flavor in your wheat flour.
Here’s a quick guide on how to do it: 1. Place the desired amount of wheat berries into the grinder. 2. Grind on the finest setting until the berries are fully pulverized into a powdery consistency.
3. sift the flour through a mesh strainer to remove any larger pieces that didn’t get ground up completely. 4. Store the flour in an airtight container and use as needed!
How Do You Grind Grains Without a Mill?
There are a few different ways that you can grind grains without a mill. One way is to use a food processor. Simply pour the grain into the food processor and pulse it until it reaches the desired consistency.
Another way is to use a mortar and pestle. Place the grain in the mortar and use the pestle to grind it down. Finally, you can also use a coffee grinder.
Just pour the grain into the grinder and let it do its thing!
Can You Use a Coffee Grinder to Grind Corn?
No, you cannot use a coffee grinder to grind corn. The blades on a coffee grinder are not designed to handle the tough kernels of corn. You would need a special grain mill or flour mill to grind corn.
Grain Mill Vs Coffee Grinder
When it comes to choosing between a grain mill and coffee grinder, there are a few things you need to consider. Both devices can be used to grind coffee beans, but they each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
A grain mill is designed specifically for grinding grain into flour.
This means that it can handle much larger quantities of beans than a coffee grinder. It also has a coarser grind, which is perfect for making bread or other baked goods. However, a grain mill can be more difficult to use and clean than a coffee grinder.
A coffee grinder, on the other hand, is much easier to use and clean. It produces a finer grind that is perfect for brewing espresso or other types of coffee. However, it can only handle small quantities of beans at a time.
So, which one should you choose? If you want to make large quantities of flour or bread, then a grain mill is the way to go. But if you just want to make small batches of coffee, then a coffee grinder will be more convenient for you.
A coffee grinder can be used to mill grain, but there are a few things to keep in mind when doing so. The first is that coffee grinders aren’t designed to grind grain, so the results may not be as fine as you would like them to be. Secondly, you need to make sure that your coffee grinder is clean before using it on grain, as the oil from the beans can transfer over and make the grain taste rancid.
Finally, only use a small amount of grain at a time so that the grinder doesn’t overheat and damage the blades.

NATIONAL – Changes are coming to the nation’s largest conservation program and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking public comments on a new rule.
On Nov. 12, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) announced changes to the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), which offers farmers and ranchers a valuable opportunity to build on and increase conservation on their operations.
The 2018 farm bill made a variety of changes to CSP, and this rule is the process where the USDA puts them into action. The changes include:
-Increasing payment rates for adoption of cover crops.
-Introducing a new supplemental payment for advanced grazing management.
-Creating one-time payment for developing a comprehensive conservation plan.
-Increasing emphasis on soil health.
In terms of participating land, CSP is the nation’s largest conservation program. CSP is available in all 50 states and the Pacific and Caribbean areas. Farmers and ranchers can apply anytime through a local NRCS office. In 2020, the USDA’s NRCS is expected to make $750 million available for CSP enrollment.
The Center for Rural Affairs encourages the public to let their voices be heard by offering comments on the CSP rule. Comments are due to NRCS by Jan. 13, and must be submitted electronically through regulations.gov. If you are interested in submitting a comment and need assistance, please contact us.
Additionally, CSP is open for new sign-ups. We encourage farmers and ranchers interested in augmenting their existing conservation activities to apply to participate in CSP. Contact your local NRCS office to learn more.

SLIPKNOT's video for the band's new single, "Psychosocial", will premiere on MTV's "F'N MTV" program on Friday, July 18 at 8:00 p.m. EST.As previously reported, SLIPKNOT nearly had to cancel the video shoot for "Psychosocial" on Monday (June 30) when band DJ Sid Wilson was hospitalized with a head injury before the shoot. According to the U.K.'s Kerrang! magazine, percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan explained, "Sid's building himself a studio downtown and got attacked by a door knob. Now he's got five staples in his head." Crahan himself was almost hurt during a recent photo shoot when the floorboards of an abandoned shack collapsed underneath him. Injuries are common for the members of SLIPKNOT, especially during the band's intense, highly physical live shows. Crahan told The Pulse of Radio that he's compiled a long list of wounds from his job. "You know, for me it's always my face," he said. "Cuts in my eyes, cuts in my face and cuts in my hands. Broken bones, broken fingers, broken arms, clavicles, ACLs, pelvic bones, tailbones, ribs, vertebraes...injuries go on, but every band's got that. I don't like to really glorify it, as much as I like to just say, 'This is real.'" SLIPKNOT revealed their new masks on Tuesday (July 1) with an exclusive set of photos at Spinner.com. Described as "creepy" and "intricate," some of the nine band members' masks have changed considerably, while others have been altered only a little. Frontman Corey Taylor's mask has undergone the most drastic and disturbing change, now looking like it's made of "dried human flesh," as MTV.com put it. Crahan has built lots of leather and zippers into his disguise, calling to mind the "Gimp" from the movie "Pulp Fiction", while drummer Joey Jordison has added a crown of black thorns to his design. SLIPKNOT reportedly rarely cleans their masks, despite the band's claims that they bleed, sweat and vomit into them during concerts. The group's new album, "All Hope Is Gone", will arrive on August 26. The title track was made available last month, while "Psychosocial" arrived at rock radio this past weekend. SLIPKNOT will co-headline the Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour this summer with DISTURBED. The trek kicks off on July 9 in Seattle.

6. "A Place With No Name" is end result. To some the Beatles were just another pop / rock band to others not significant at entirely. I am reminded of some comments from Michael Stipe from REM who basically stated the Beatles did nothing for her or him. Sorry Michael, Discovered that hard to do think. I am an enthusiast of REM and have been for extended. I can hear The Beatles influences in most of REM's songs. Stipe prides himself on as an original artist and an individual, who's would never be in his DNA state he he liked the Beatles. Perhaps definitely wouldn't be cool as well as he liked them or was depending them, despite the fact that he probably was, at minimum sub actively. Local Denver pop/rock band The Heyday suffered a true loss a while ago when thieves broke into their van and stole each equipment. Although word spread quickly through social media and neighborhood news asking people become on the lookout for the stolen gear, it doesn't have been recovered, and the thieves never have been realized.
