In February CTU Secretary Sam Huggard wrote to the Parliamentary Committee about the very brief timeline to hear from the public about the TPPA.
“Yesterday we heard back from the committee that it refused to extend the deadline. To quote the email they said ‘The committee did agree to consider any substantive submissions received after that date on a case by case basis.’ So basically only if you or your organisation has an opinion or perspective the committee judges worth listening to then it will hear it,” CTU Director of Policy, Bill Rosenberg said.
“We are deeply concerned that the committee will self-select which submissions they will hear. Where is the democracy?”
“People are being asked to put considerable work into writing a submission on this complex agreement which even experts are still struggling to fully understand, without the certainty that it will even be considered.”
This is after Trade Minister Todd McClay stated publicly that he is “open to the public being given more time to have their say on the Trans-Pacific Partnership”.
“Everything about the TPPA – the negotiations, the meetings, and now the only formal opportunity for the public to be heard on the whole agreement, undermines the principals of democracy. This is not the New Zealand that we want,” Rosenberg said.

It seems like “the best music era” really depends on when you were born. Those born in the ’50s are likely to wax poetic about The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Doors. Those born in the late ’60s are likely to praise the genius of Michael Jackson and Queen. And of course, millennials born in the ’90s will probably tell you that Britney Spears and Rihanna are the greatest artists to ever grace the stage.
This is where we come in. We’ve covered the rankings of every decade from the 1950s until today, using data from different “Best of” lists, including Best Albums of All Time and other forum rankings. Scroll down to see which decade came out on top.
1951 gave us Johnnie Ray’s “Cry” which was crowned as one of the biggest, if not the biggest song of the year. However, the top-ranked album was “Genius of Modern Music: Volume 1” by American jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk.
Other than that, we had Tony Bennet, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, and Eddy Howard as the year’s top artists. As great and romantic as this year’s music was, it still came out at the bottom. In general, music from the ’50s is ranked lower, but that’s also because there was less music produced back then, and part of the ranking on this list has to do with the number of great albums in a year.
The turn of the decade was a bit better, with Benny Goodman’s album, “The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall azz Concert” taking the lead in the race for Best Album. Other than this jazzy wonder, the biggest record of 1950 belonged to Nat King Cole.
His record Mona Lisa won an Oscar for Best Original Song and spent five weeks at No. 1 in the Billboard’s Singles Chart. In 1992, his version was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Other great songs of the year include “Goodnight, Irene” by Gordon Jenkins & The Weavers and “Sam’s Song” by Gary & Bing Crosby.
In 1953, Dean Martin came out with his hit record, “That’s Amore,” which has since then become a staple in the playlist of pizzerias all across the nation. Apart from that, Hank Williams gave us “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” which has been playing on repeat in bars across the country ever since.
The top-ranked album of the year belonged to Peggy Lee. “Black Coffee” is considered one of the top ten jazz albums of all time. This masterpiece has everything, from a delightful swooping of trumpet lines to a fast, swing style.
Sun Records, in Memphis, Tennessee, is responsible for releasing the best music of the year. The record label released albums by Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, and Jerry Lee Lewis. However, at the top of the “top-ranked album” list stands one that belongs to various artists from previous years – and it’s the “Anthology of American Folk Music.”
It’s comprised of 84 American folk, blues, and country recordings that were originally produced between the years 1926 to 1933. Music critic John Bush was quoted saying that the album “could well be the most influential document of the ’50s folk revival.”
This is the year Elvis Presley’s rock revolution kicked off. Although he wasn’t on top just yet, he still gave the world records such as “That’s All Right (Mama) and “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” However, this year’s top-ranked album belonged to none other than jazz musician Chet Baker.
His debut album, “Chet Baker Sings” received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award and showed the world that the man was not only an impeccable trumpeter, but he was also a great vocalist. Jazz critic Will MacFarland once said that Chet’s “singing, like his playing, stands apart from the run of the mill.”
1955’s top-ranked album belongs to Frank Sinatra, titled, “In the Wee Small Hours.” Sinatra’s 9th album was a commercial success, and it touched the hearts of many of his fans, with songs covering relatable themes such as heartbreak, loneliness, and depression.
Elvis also had his fair share of success this year. The first-ever “Elvis Riot” happened during the spring in Jacksonville, Florida. As for the year’s ultimate rock anthem, Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock” triumphs over them all!
In the spring of 1962, Bob Dylan released his self-titled debut album. While it didn’t receive much attention at first, it did come to grow on his fans in later years as he became more famous. The year’s top-ranked album was “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music” by Ray Charles.
Charles’ album was considered revolutionary, as it challenged the racial barriers of the time. He became one of the first African American artists to have complete creative control over his own recording career.
The Beach Boys gave us their first-ever single, “Surfin’,” and Ben E. King provided a memorable and moving tune, “Stand by Me.” But the year’s most beloved and cherished album belongs to John Coltrane, titled “My Favorite Things.”
This beautiful jazz album received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award. And, in 2018, it finally received the gold record status, after having sold a whopping 500,000 copies. Another great song that should be noted from this year is Chubby Checker’s Let’s Twist Again.
Before “Twisting Again,” the year 1960 had Chubby Checker teaching dance-crazed youngsters how to do “The Twist” in the first place. Other notable records of the year include Elvis Presley’s “It’s Now or Never” and The Drifters’ “Save the Last Dance for Me.”
The year’s top-ranked album belongs to Miles Davis, titled “Sketches of Spain.” This musical fusion of jazz and world music is considered one of the most influential pieces of the 20th century. Music critic Bill Mathieu praised the album, saying, “if there is to be a new jazz, a shape of things to come, then this is the beginning.”
This was officially Elvis Presley’s year. His self-titled album out beat all the others. He had his first number one hit, “Heartbreak Hotel,” and to top it all off, he closed the year with “Love Me Tender” and “Hound Dog” reaching the top of the charts.
Apart from Elvis’ winning streak, Europe held its very first Eurovision Song Contest! It was hosted in Italian (not English) by host Lohengrin Filipello. And the winning song? “Refrain” by Switzerland’s Lys Assia.
1958 was the year Billboard launched its official Top 100 Singles Chart: exciting news for the musicians out there who were dying to crack it. The year’s top-ranked album was Billie Holiday’s incredible masterpiece, “Lady in Satin.”
Billie’s sultry voice captivated listeners in the ’50s, but her album initially received mixed reviews. But over time, it became a gem in music history. In 2020, Rolling Stone magazine rated it at number 317 in their Top 500 Greatest Albums of All-Time list.
In 1957, Jerry Lewis heated things up with “Great Balls of Fire” and Elvis Presley released another outstanding hit, “Jailhouse Rock.” The year’s top-ranked album belongs to jazz composer John Coltrane and is titled “Blue Train.”
The album was said to have a “haunting feel” to it and an enchanting and brilliant air. Jazz player Michael Cuscuna said that the record “to me is one of the most beautiful pieces on one of the most beautiful records that Coltrane recorded in the fifties.”
1964 was the year Beatlemania kicked off in America. They landed in New York City and took the place by storm. Their album, “A Hard Day’s Night” is the top-ranked one of the year, and nearly every single on it cracked all the singles charts.
Other than the Beatles’ craze, the Rolling Stones completed their self-titled debut album which was later crowned as one of the top 1000 albums of all time. Lastly, Bob Dylan released his moving ode, “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”
In 1963, Bob Dylan gave us the lovely “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and jazz artist Charles Mingus released the year’s top-ranked album, “The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady,” which is considered by nearly everyone to be one of the most acclaimed jazz albums of the 20th century.
Another musical achievement was “Bye Bye Birdie,” a musical comedy film that was ranked as one of the top 50 Best High School Movies of all time. The musical smash is considered “silly, light, and very, very pink,” according to a quote in Rotten Tomatoes.
At the start of 1959, on a cold February morning, the music died. It was the year that Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, and their pilot Roger Peterson crashed near Clear Lake, Iowa. Rock fans all over the world were stunned by the tragic turn of events.
So, the year didn’t kick off too well, but it still saw some happy events take place, like the first-ever Grammy Awards that were held in Los Angeles. Bobby Darin’s “Mack the Knife” dominated the charts, bug the top-ranked album was Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue.”
Fast forward to 2019, which is ranked pretty low on this list compared to all the years in between the ’50s and today. 2019 gave us one central thing in the field of music – it introduced us to the power of K-pop (Korean pop).
K-pop legends BTS took (and are still taking) the world by storm with their fast-paced, bubble gum pop hits. Time magazine placed them on their list of the top 100 Most Influential People. Other notable musical achievements were Janet Jackson and Radiohead’s induction into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
1981 was a revolutionary year in music. It was the year MTV launched, and the first exciting music video they aired was, very fittingly, The Buggles’ song “Video Killed the Radio Star.” In addition, Phil Collins gave us his very first solo album, “Face Value.”
As for the year’s top-ranked album, Rush gave us the wonderful “Moving Pictures,” which became the Canadian group’s highest-selling album in the U.S., with over 5 million copies sold. Among their most beloved singles are “Tom Sawyer” and “Limelight.”
2018’s top-ranked album belongs to the indie rock band Car Seat Headrest and their record titled “Twin Fantasy (Face to Face).” The review site Metacritic gave it a score of 87 out of 100, which, according to them, meant that the American band had gained “universal acclaim.”
Other notable musical achievements include Lady Gaga’s performance in a remake of the song “A Star Is Born.” BTS also became the first K-pop group to top America’s Billboard album list with “Love Yourself: Tear.” Oh, and Drake ruled the charts with three awesome singles.
The start of the ’90s was exciting. Madonna revolutionized pop concerts by breaking box office records with her songs. Her Blonde Ambition tour was a massive success. Depeche Mode also gave us some great material.
Their album, “Violator” is the year’s top-ranked album. It propelled the group into international stardom and gave us the singles “Policy of Truth” and “World in My Eyes.” It cracked the top ten of the Billboard 200, peaking at number seven.
1983 was a truly rewarding year in music. Metallica and Madonna launched their debut albums. Both the group and Madonna went on to become absolute icons in the industry, landing a place in Rock ‘n’ Roll’s Hall of Fame.
R.E.M. gave us the year’s top-ranked album, their debut album, “Murmur,” and Michael Jackson gave us one of his greatest hits of all time and one of the greatest dance hits to ever cross our ears, “Billie Jean.”
This was Kate Bush’s year. She gave us “Hounds of Love,” 1985’s top-ranked album. In a five-star review, UK music newspaper Sounds called Hounds of Love “dramatic, moving and wildly, unashamedly, beautifully romantic.”
Other than that, media outlets like Spin magazine and VH1 were born. In addition, the world’s biggest artists came together to sing “We Are the World” and raise funds for charitable purposes in Africa. The concert Live Aid raised more money for famine in Ethiopia.
The top-ranking album for this year belonged to King Crimson, who gave us their seventh and brilliant studio album titled, “Red.” According to Pitchfork (an online music magazine), the album “achieved a remarkable balance between bone-crushing brutality and cerebral complexity.”
Other than that, the first-ever ceremony of the American Music Awards was held. And another groundbreaking (and heartbreaking) moment in the industry that year was Cher and Sonny Bono’s divorce.
This year was the year Michael Jackson gifted the world his incredibly thrilling album “Thriller.” It’s the top-ranked album of 1982, and I believe it really needs no justification. It remains one of the best-selling records of all time.
His music video was so revolutionary when it first came out. In addition, Sony launched the CDP-101, which became the first CD player. And “Pink Floyd: The Wall” hit cinemas all over the nation. It’s safe to say, 1982 truly was a thriller year.
The top-ranking album this year was Bruce Springsteen’s fourth studio album, “Darkness on the Edge of Town.” According to music critics, Springsteen “perfected the heartland rock genre” and gave a voice to America’s working-class citizens.
In addition, the unforgettable, iconic, wonderful musical film “Grease,” starring a young and handsome John Travolta and a spicy, young, blonde Olivia Newton-John, was released to theaters and became a box office smash.
This year’s top-ranking album belongs to Stevie Wonder and his eighteenth album, “Songs in the Key of Life.” To this day, it’s considered his “wonder album,” and is often cited as being one of the greatest things to have happened in music history.
Prince was even quoted saying this was his favorite album of all time! Other than Stevie Wonder’s wondrous record, the band Boston released its debut album, and the Sex Pistols rattled things up with their hit debut single, “Anarchy in the U.K.”
2017’s album of the year belongs to Kendrick Lamar and his groovy album, “Damn.” Music critic Andy Kellman praised the rapper, saying that “it contains some of Lamar’s best writing and performances, revealing his evolving complexity and versatility as a soul-baring lyricist and dynamic rapper.”
Another noteworthy event this year was Harry Styles’ departure from One Direction, and the release of his self-titled debut album which did spectacularly well. Some sad moments this year include the death of Chuck Berry, Chris Cornell, and Tom Petty.
Fleet Foxes released their self-titled album, which went on to become 2008’s album of the year! The indie-folk band really proved their worth in the industry with a string of hit songs. Billboard rated it album of the year.
More memorable moments in the music industry include Beyonce’s smash hit “Single Ladies,” and Lil Wayne’s punching album, “The Carter III.” In addition, Spotify officially entered our lives as another way to stream music.
This year’s top-ranking album goes to Sonic Youth! Kudos to them for giving us a great piece of work, their fifth studio album, “Daydream Nation.” Billboard called the record “the supreme fulfillment” of their “full-bore technique”.
Another memorable moment was the release of Bobby McFerrin’s unexpected hit single, “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” In addition, a hip-hop publication named The Source magazine was released. And of course, George Michael’s incredible album, “Faith” reached our shelves.
Back to the ’60s. Bob Dylan’s sixth studio album, “Highway 61 Revisited,” is 1965’s top-ranking album. It’s considered the 11th most celebrated album in music history, so no one was surprised when it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002.
In addition, Petula Clark released her beautiful hit, “Downtown.” And over in New York Queens, the Beatles got the crowd screaming in the Shea Stadium. However, the Rolling Stones landed the year’s biggest hit with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
2009’s top-ranking album belongs to Animal Collective and their eighth studio album, “Merriweather Post Pavilion.” It was met with universal acclaim and was given a whopping 9.6 out of 10 by Pitchfork (a music publication).
Another huge (but sad) moment was Michael Jackson’s untimely death. In addition, Jay Z, Sting, and Maria Carey performed at Barack Obama’s inaugural ball, and Susan Boyle became a worldwide phenomenon after appearing on “Britain’s Got Talent.”
U2 released “The Joshua Tree,” their fifth album, which became the year’s ultimate album, beating out all the rest in the race for the top-ranking record. It was given great reviews, the best reviews U2 has ever received in their career.
Other than that, Guns N’ Roses released their album, “Appetite for Destruction,” and Michael Jackson released “Bad.” What a year! In addition, the hip-hop group, N.W.A. formed in Los Angeles and performed as the opening act for Salt-N-Pepa.
1984 was a fantastic year. It was the year Prince and the Revolution gave us “Purple Rain,” which obviously became the top-ranking album of the year. Some would say that this was Prince’s turning point, after which he became a true musical genius.
Other notable smash hits from this year are Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and the groundbreaking music video that accompanied it. Also Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” garnered great reviews.
2014’s top-ranking album of the year was “Lost in the Dream” by The War on Drugs. The indie rock band released hit after hit with this album, with songs like “Under the Pressure,” “Red Eyes,” and “Burning.”
Another great moment was BTS’s release of their debut album. Who knew that the group would go on to become one of the most influential music groups in history? Also, Tom Pretty and the Heartbreakers, as well as Pink Floyd, both released their final albums.

Some sad moments this year include the deaths of two huge music icons, David Bowie and Prince. But on the flip side, Guns N’ Roses experienced a sort of rebirth, with Axl Rose rejoining the band.
This was definitely Arctic Monkeys’ year. Their album, “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not,” became the year’s top-ranked album. The English band was even declared to be the “current generation’s most important band.”

The White Stripes’ fourth studio album, “Elephant,” is 2003’s top-ranking record. With hits like “You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket” and “I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself,” they climbed their way up to superstardom back in 2003.
Some controversies this year centered around The Dixie Chicks, who were criticized for bashing President George W. Bush. Another big moment included 50 Cent’s release “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” Also, Apple launched iTunes.
The album of the year was Talking Head’s “Remain in Light,” the band’s fourth studio album. Years later, in 2017, the Library of Congress stated that the album was “culturally, historically, and artistically significant,” selecting to preserve it in the National Recordings Registry.
One horrible event this year was the shooting of John Lennon, who was gunned down outside his apartment in New York City. On a brighter note, Blondie got everyone grooving with their hit, “Call Me.”

On a different note, Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder in a hideous case that rattled the music industry. Tupac Shakur was gunned down and killed in Las Vegas. And even though “Macarena” was recorded several years before, it somehow became that year’s summer hit and swept everyone off their feet.

2005 was also the year Mariah Carey scored another smash hit record with her album, “The Emancipation of Mimi.” On a sad note (or not, depending on how you look at it), Destiny’s Child broke up. It was pretty tragic, as some of its members were only nine when they first formed!
1998’s top-ranking album belongs to the American rock band Neutral Milk Hotel and their second album, “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea.” This psychedelic folk band stood out from other rock bands at the time, and many felt like they provided something completely new and refreshing.

Despite having the best album of the year, John Lennon was bashed after proudly saying that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. However, his little remark didn’t prevent songs like “Yellow Submarine” from climbing high on all the charts.

The Beatles dominated the ’60s, there’s no arguing there. And in 1968, their album, “The Beatles (The White Album)” became the album of the year. Its songs topped the charts in both Britain and America and the album itself has been certified 24X platinum.

Time for some heavy metal to appear on this list! Black Sabbath gave 1970 the album of the year, with their second studio album, “Paranoid.” It includes some of the band’s most memorable hits including “War Pigs” and “Iron Man.
Another groundbreaking moment in music history was, of course, Paul McCartney’s startling announcement that he was leaving The Beatles (gasp). Other than that, Jimi Hendrix died at the young age of 27 and Simon & Garfunkel went their separate ways. What a year…
Radiohead, yes, once again, Radiohead. Their album, “In Rainbows,” was crowned album of the year. It garnered critical acclaim and won two Grammy Awards – Best Alternative Music Album and Best Boxed for Special Limited-Edition Package.
A happy event that year was the concert Live Earth, which was launched in the hopes of raising money to slow down global warming. In addition, The Spice Girls reunited, and “High School Musical 2,” the sequel to one of the most popular teen musicals of all time, aired.
In 1972, David Bowie gifted the world with his bizarre album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.” It’s considered one of his best works, and one of glam rock’s most innovative albums of the genre.
Apart from David Bowie’s outrageous creation, Paul McCartney debuted his new band called “Wings.” Unfortunately, 1972 was the year Creedence Clearwater Revival broke up, but Don McLean’s “American Pie,” despite being released a year earlier, reached No. 1 on the charts.
This was Nirvana’s time to shine. Their album, “Nevermind,” with the unforgettable floating baby on its cover, became so famous that it sold 300,000 copies a week at its peak. “Smells Like Teen Spirit” was played everywhere at the time, on radio stations and in restaurants, bars, you name it.
In addition, Whitney Houston performed a moving rendition of the national anthem at the Super Bowl and The Scorpions released their memorable hit, “Wind of Change” that became the anthem to the end of the Cold War.
“OK Computer” by Radiohead (again!) was this year’s top-ranking album. Their third album was truly ahead of its time, covering things like consumerism, social alienation and political malaise. Basically, the world we’re living in now.
In addition, the Spice Girls released their hit “Wannabe,” turning them into worldwide superstars. And The Notorious B.I.G. was sadly shot and killed in the streets of Los Angeles. Finally, pop trio and siblings, Hanson, flooded radio airwaves with their song “MMMBop.”
“The Dark Side of the Moon” by Pink Floyd was 1973’s top-ranking album, selling an estimated 45 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling records in music history. Many argue it’s the band’s absolute best album.
Another memorable moment was KISS’ first concert which they played on January 30, at the Popcorn Club in Queens, New York. Later in the year, DJ Kool Herc came out with hit singles and was credited with officially giving birth to hip-hop. And finally, Bruce Springsteen debuted with his album, “Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.”
Jeff Buckley’s debut album, “Grace” became the year’s number one record. While initially receiving mixed reviews, it has gained a lot of hype over the years. Over a decade after its original release, it cracked the charts in Australia and became certified 7x platinum.
Sadly, Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain died in the spring of this year, causing stormy waves across the music community. More news from the grunge scene: Nine Inch Nails’ “The Downward Spiral” and The Offspring’s “Smash” were released and are considered two of the most notable rock albums of that year.
If the year is sometime in the ’60s, you know the top-selling album has got to belong to The Beatles. In 1967, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” took the world by storm. Incredibly, it spent 15 weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard chart.
1967 also introduced us to The Doors, which practically smashed through the door with their self-titled debut album. This year was also the year that Aretha Franklin recorded “Respect” and The Beatles’ song, “All You Need is Love” became the year’s biggest hit.
“Untitled (Led Zeppelin IV)” by Led Zeppelin was 1971’s best album. The English rock band’s fourth studio album gained worldwide success, shipping over 38 million copies overseas. One music critic went so far as to say that the album “[defined] not only Led Zeppelin but the sound and style of ’70s hard rock.”
Arguably Led Zeppelin’s biggest hit from the album, “Stairway to Heaven” dominated the charts. And contrary to popular belief (by many conspiracists), it doesn’t contain hidden messages when played backward.
Finally, in number one, the absolute best year in music history to date, is 1969. Why? Well, partly because of Woodstock, the colorful, groundbreaking festival which saw around 400,000 wide-eyed people crowd together on a patch of land in upstate New York, just to watch some of the greatest artists of the time perform.
The year’s top-ranking album is “Abbey Road,” by The Beatles. Tragically, though, that same year, the band announced their final public performance on a rooftop show in London (sigh…). Other than that, Led Zeppelin released their debut album.
There you have it! 1969 was – according to several sources and databases – the best year in music history. Let us know what you think in the comments!


The WashMatic WM800 ride-on machine cleans heavily soiled surfaces. It gives running tracks and sports fields as well as athletes their grip. Serious injuries are avoided this way. High-pressure water cleaning is suitable for synthetic sports surfaces such as unfilled artificial turf, running tracks, multi-purpose playing fields or similar surfaces. With regular thorough deep cleaning, decisive advantages are achieved:
- Significantly extended life cycle of the sports facility,
- Significantly reduced risk of injury for athletes,
- Restoration of water permeability,
- Long-lasting sparkling clean appearance.
The ideal solution is to use the WashMatic WM800 in combination with the latest innovation ClearMatic CM1800.
SMG is already successfully in use worldwide with this machine duo. It sets a new standard in cleaning artificial turf and sports surfaces.
SMG is now developing a mobile trailer solution for the CM1800. Managing Director Tobias Owegeser explains: "The demand for an even more compact trailer solution for cleaning tasks is more relevant than ever, especially in urban areas. With our effective solution, graffiti on buildings, for example, can also be removed quickly, cost-effectively and in an environmentally friendly manner in inner-city areas.”

How to Cut Strawberry Flowers
Strawberry flowers become tasty strawberries, so why in the world would you cut them? The tasty berries (Fragaria ananassa) are one of early summer's first pleasures, grown as a perennial in USDA zones 5 to 8 and annually in both warmer and cooler climates. If you're just beginning to grow strawberries, you might be surprised to learn that it's sometimes necessary to remove the blossoms in order to have a stronger and more productive plant later.
Strawberries and Day Length
A key to understanding strawberries, if you're going to grow them successfully, is how they respond to day length. Most authorities, such as the University of Minnesota Extension, recognize three different types of strawberry plants: the traditional June-bearing kind, which fruit heavily at the beginning of summer (hence the name) and then are done for the year; "ever-bearing" cultivars, which produce both an early and a late crop; and "day-neutral" cultivars, which produce throughout the summer.
For both traditional and ever-bearing cultivars, fruiting is controlled by day length. As summer advances and the daylight extends to 14 hours or more, the light first triggers fruit production and then ends it. In the case of ever-bearing cultivars, a second fruiting cycle is triggered when daylight falls below that 14-hour threshold again. "Day-neutral" cultivars, as their name suggests, aren't affected by the hours of light they receive.
Removing Strawberry Flowers From Transplants
In most climates, strawberry cultivation begins in spring so that the strawberries will be well-established in time for winter. Your infant plants will begin to blossom as the weather warms up, but you should literally nip this in the bud. These blossoms take up energy that would be better invested in root and vegetative growth, especially in the form of runners that will become your next generation of plants.
In the case of June-bearing strawberries, the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station recommends ruthlessly pinching off every blossom for the entire first year. The plants will produce plentiful runners, which you should train into consistent rows for ease of future harvesting.
For day-neutral and ever-bearing cultivars, remove blossoms – or the strawberry buds, if a few blossoms escape you – through the first fruiting season of approximately four to six weeks. By then, the plants will be well-established, and you can enjoy the late-season harvest without guilt.
Physically Removing the Flowers
Because the flower stems are thin, it's relatively easy to simply pinch them off with a thumb and forefinger. When the transplant is still new and its roots are not fully grown out, you may wish to use both hands to limit the risk of damaging the roots by pulling on the plant itself.
Alternatively, you can snip the blossoms with a small pair of scissors as long as you're careful not to damage any stems behind the blossom. You should sanitize the scissors to minimize the risk of spreading pathogens from one plant to another. You'll see no shortage of opinions on how to do this, and the University of Florida Institute of Food & Agricultural Sciences provides a handy guide to several popular options.
Household cleansers are inexpensive, but there's been little research to show that they kill plant pathogens. Bleach has a devoted following, but it's corrosive, it can damage plants if it's too concentrated, it requires a fresh batch to be mixed (to a 10 percent concentration) for every use and your scissors need to sit in the bleach for 30 minutes. For most gardeners, a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol is the simplest and most effective option.
- June-bearing strawberries generally stop flowering by July, although it can vary slightly depending on your climate. Everbearers can produce blossoms year-round in mild areas, or just through spring and summer in colder regions.

Slingerland Radio King Hollywood Ace Swing Model 1-ply snare drum 14" x 8" WMP
Produced between 1936 and 1953
1-ply solid maple shell 14" x 8", 16 x lugs, original Slingerland Radio King engraved hoops, NOB, nickel over brass
Stunning condition, all original parts, great sounding, the shell is round, edges have been revised and now they are perfect
This is a true Classic!
The Slingerland Drum Company introduced the first Radio King Snare Drum in 1936. The drum came in two sizes, 5 x 14 and 6 1/2 x 14, and it came in either a wood or metal shell. Shortly after it's appearance in the marketplace, Slingerland added the name Gene Krupa to the model nameplate. Sales skyrocketed. The Gene Krupa name was gold. For the next 50 years, Slingerland took every opportunity it could to associate the great Gene Krupa with its snare drums and drum kits. See previous blogs dated Apr 12th, Feb 27th 2011, and Dec. 20th 2010.
But Gene wasn't the only drummer to have a Radio King Snare Drum named after him. In 1936, Ben Pollack had a wood hoop model named after him. In 1937, Ray McKinley also had one. And for 3 years, from 1939 to 1941, Slingerland offered the Buddy Rich Radio King Swingster Model to aspiring drummers.
In 1939, Slingerland began offering the Radio King model you see pictured here. It was not associated with any particular drummer.
It was simply known as the Hollywood Ace Swing Model Radio King. Two sizes were available, a 7 x 14 and a 8 x 14.
Prospective buyers had a choice of chrome or nickel plated hardware. This cream puff came with 16 "beaver tail" lugs and the famous Radio King Snare Strainer.
This strainer, which pulled the snare wires away from the head, rather than directly up into it, was a great success and was used by Slingerland until the mid 1970's.
The shell, of course, was constructed of solid maple. It was truly the strength of the Radio King and this drum remained in production from 1939 to 1957. In 1958, the solid shell was dropped and a 3 ply shell was substituted.
Also, the 8 x 14 size became history and a 5 1/2 x 14 was added. This model was produced from 1958 to 1976.
The Hollywood Ace is now a part of history. But all in all, this Radio King Snare Drum had a long and very successful run.

You might have expected in this period of easy money and hot markets, that leveraged companies had become immune from failure. That’s not the case, as proven by My Alarm Center, LLC, which has just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, as discussed in trade publication SecurityInfoWatch:
“In a statement provided to SecurityInfoWatch.com, My Alarm Center said that its lenders and other key stakeholder have agreed to support its reorganization plan, which provides for the elimination of approximately $235 million in legacy debt obligations, strengthens its financial structure and supports its long-term growth plans“.
We won’t spend a great deal of time on the company’s restructuring plans because the three BDCs with exposure are all currently in the equity and preferred. Chances are high the $8.0mn invested at cost – and with an aggregate FMV of $0.4mn at year-end 2020 – will all be written off. The BDCs involved are Saratoga Investment (SAR); Crescent Capital (CCAP), which inherited the investment from Alcentra Capital, and OFS Capital (OFS). SAR has the biggest exposure at just under $5mn at cost, but a FMV of just $0.3mn. The BDC already booked a realized loss of ($7.7mn) back in 2017 when the company was previously restructured. At that point SAR – and others – fronted more capital, which is now likely to be lost as well.
We had already rated the company CCR 5 due to SAR carrying one of its preferred positions as non performing. The rating remains unchanged. We expect to see realized losses booked by the BDCs involved in the second or third quarter 2021, probably the former. From a fair market value standpoint, the impact on the BDCs will be minimal.
All in all, a sorry episode for all the BDCs involved and in an industry famous for its allegedly high, stable cash flows where companies are sold for multiples of revenue. However, technological change and competition have resulted in a number of setbacks in the alarm monitoring business. For the BDC sector a rare new bankruptcy in 2021.

Hazel Grove Primary School
Hazel Grove Primary School, Stockport, approached Hive requiring a complete overhaul of their school branding and primary school website design.
Inspired by the vivid rainbow colours of their original logo, Hive created a selection of fresh new logo options for the school. The new logo options focused on the hazel tree aspect of the school’s name. The selection process was a collaboration with the pupils of the school. And the resulting choice was a bright, colourful, and fresh logo. The new design incorporates brightly coloured elements that are inspired by the school values, symbolising a hazel tree grove.
The design of the new vibrant branding was continued through to their primary school website design to create synergy and brand strength.
A focus on photography & accessibility
A focus of the website design was new school photography. Therefore as part of the design, a large open header area creates a stunning photographic display. With each page able to display multiple header images. Furthermore cameo images are also a featured across the site ensuring every page is visually impactful. The new brand sits pride of place over the header images, strengthened by the use of the bright, vivid rainbow colours within the website design.
Another focus of the website restructure was accessibility. Consequently, the new, clean design creates an effortless user experience. The responsive nature of the website further enhances this. Therefore meaning all information is clear and accessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop.
In conclusion, the end result of this exciting project for Hazel Grove Primary School, is a stunning new website which features all new fresh branding.

Classical community ecology concepts should not be overlooked when considering microbial dynamics (Rynkiewicz, Pedersen and Fenton 2015) and, conversely, microbial communities may prove useful models for general ecology due to their short generation times, reproducibility and ease of use in the laboratory environment (Brockhurst and Koskella 2013; Libberton, Horsburgh and … – see a fairly comprehensive list of ecological societies around the world here) are certainly worthwhile from an academic standpoint. An outsider could easily argue, however, that most ecological societies are archaic bastions of a former time when ecology was more a theoretical endeavour for academic circles, with little of practical use in today’s society.

"It is possible that these horses had an exceptional metabolism that enabled them to produce such performances.
"Thus the intramuscular accumulation of lactate (through anaerobic metabolism) ultimately limits muscle performance and appropriate training can delay its onset.
"Do racehorse trainers regularly sample blood lactate during and after workouts and prepare individualised workouts as occurs in human training programs?
"In one study, blood lactate taken 2 and 5 min after exercise correlated well with the Timeform rating given to that racehorse.
"Implementation of such training tools in the elite thoroughbred horse may, in addition to improving results and winning times, reduce injury rate and occurrences of poor performance."

The CircleTales origin story
Back in January 2017, on the heels of the release of the groundbreaking new book, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls that reframed history to include remarkable women throughout the centuries, and in light of the tsunami of pink pussy hats that swept the globe in a spirit of protest and solidarity, we realised that as parents of our then eleven year-old daughter, we could not afford to be complacent.
Additionally, we were aware of the emerging research linking screen time and depression among 14 year-olds, especially for girls, and decided that it was time for us to find more ways to support offline family time together.
We turned to popular board games, but to be honest, so many seemed to be premised on competition and resource hoarding, or featuring damaging stereotypes that frankly we found unsupportive for raising respectful and empowered girls AND boys.
What we really wanted was a beautifully designed game founded on empowering play rather than preconceived narratives and/or gendered character roles. We loved the rich traditions of storytelling, tales told around a campfire, stories that are entertaining, thrilling, full of wisdom; ancient stories that can make one shake in fear, yet also carry profoundly meaningful archetypes (read Women Who Run With the Wolves to dig into this theme).
While we began to think about what kind of game WE would like to play, we recognised that collaborative storytelling is a powerful tool for forging connection and strengthening bonds within families, friend groups, and broader communities.
And so we began to work in earnest to create CircleTales the Adventure Storytelling Game, conceiving of it as a collaborative game that would allow people of all ages to create totally original stories together; a game that would empower children (and adults!) to become active listeners and confident speakers whilst developing their creative sides. Our daughter Lilly was particularly keen to see something that did not play to the usual ‘girlie’ stereotypes, and so we came up with the Moon Card questions that start off every game and draw out personal words that are woven into the story, allowing players to bring more of themselves to the game.
As we began trialling CircleTales, we realised that people found it to be engaging, exciting, and very often deeply touching. We witnessed how younger children amazed the adults with their imaginative contributions to the story, and that children found the adults hilarious when they responded to the Moon Card questions or contributed a funny bit of detail to the shared story. We saw a surprising vulnerability and tenderness between friends and family as their creative voices emerged, and it began to dawn on us what a powerful experience CircleTales offered by supporting players to journey together to create a shared imaginative landscape through storytelling.
As CircleTales makes its way into the hearts and homes of people around the world, we feel humbled and honoured that in some small way we are making a difference by providing a game that supports friends, families, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren to develop meaningful connections through storytelling and playfulness; a game that counters conventional stereotypes, and supports people of all ages to more fully value each other and every individual’s uniquely creative voice.

This pâté is a special part of Spanish gastronomy, we recommend keeping this paté for when you're feeling adventurous. It is a mixture of bold flavours that is difficult to describe in words. The fusion of flavours from the classic savoury pork paté from the mountains mixed with the touch of Mediterranean cuisine with a hint of sun-dried tomatoes is really worth a try!
This delicious tomato paté comes from the 'Valle de Arán' in Catalonia, in the very north east of Spain. The flavour is unique, and the mix of traditional pork, from pigs that graze in the mountains with Mediterranean dried tomatoes, is the perfect blend of salty and sweet flavours.

Tjøtta is a small community with about 250 inhabitants on the coast of Helgeland in Nordland county, the home of one of NIBIO’s three northernmost research stations. Tjøtta is strategically placed in relation to both North Norway’s agricultural areas and to important environmental and tourism resources such as Lomsdal/Visten and Børgefjell national parks, and with the island of Vega, a world heritage site, as its closest neighbour in the west.
Geographic characteristics and opportunities
The growing season in the north is short, but crop yield potentials are relatively high as a result of long day length in summer and ample precipitation. The special climatic conditions can enrich some food products with enhances taste and health benefits. This allows us to the possibility of exploiting arctic agriculture as a brand name, for which NIBIO has the task of documenting arctic quality and furthering related arctic commercial development. With the current climate changes, studies of growing conditions and climatic adaptations for plants and animals in the northern region are an especially important research area.
Buildings, land resources and specialist instrumentation
NIBIO Tjøtta is attached to Nordland’s largest farm, with beef cattle, sheep of various breeds and even one lama. There are 85 ha of fully cultivated land, about 25 ha of surface cultivated grazing and 540 ha of unenclosed land, most is suitable for grazing by cattle and sheep/goats. In addition the property of Skar in Vevelstad has 2200 ha of mountain grazing.
The farm is let out with a clause ensuring NIBIO’s right to continue its research on animals and on both the cultivated land and all the unenclosed land.
NIBIO Tjøtta has a well-equipped laboratory with amongst other things, facilities for the measurement of methane gas emissions from ruminants. There are six respiration chambers specially adapted for sheep or goats, as well as six SF6-instruments specially adapted for grazing sheep.
A designated research area for sheep is equipped with cameras for monitoring animal behaviour, in which controlled feeding trials are performed.
Many types of field trial are performed, using research equipment for both grass and arable crops, as well as electronic equipment for the monitoring of grazing animals.
There is additionally a large group of buildings at Tjøtta:
- Farmyard with housing for sheep and cattle followers, a research animal house, rooms for implements and technical equipment, a laboratory and a staffroom
- Administration building with modern offices for researchers and technicians, as well as for renting out to other businesses. Part of the building is also used for technical operations
- The Main House is tday run as Tjøtta Guesthouse
- Some older buildings are used for storage and let out as a carpentry workshop
- A welfare house is let out as a training studio

Not too far from Times Square and a bit less touristy you will find some great restaurants in the Theater district, although those kind of cater to an Older crowd. Personally I prefer to Eat downtown , Tribeca, SoHo, Ganesvort, Bleeker street etc..

By the way, I noticed your flag says you're from Hong Kong...I am Chinese and from Hong Kong myself. I understand how some Chinese people in Hong Kong are afraid to try different types of cuisine (i.e. any type of food from outside East Asia). If you or your gf are hesitant about trying Cuban, I say not to worry. Because Cuban food is good and this restaurant is pretty high quality...so you aren't going to be getting Cuban street food.

How to become a Published Children's AuthorBecome a Published Children's Author?
A 12-part guidebook for creating and distributing textbooks for children: Editorial and story boarding
While these two themes - editorial and story boarding - are not necessarily intimately linked, both are still critical when it comes to creating and distributing storyboards for kids. I can' t recall why I thought I would grab them in that one pole now, but since I had already sketched out my 12-part manual before I had finished the poles, I stick to my weapons.
So here is part 5 of my 12-part manual. Hopefully you will find this information useful on your way to becoming a published children's author. There are so few words in a storybook that every single words and every phrase is worth.
Rememberable stories must have a flawless beat and the words must be exactly right. Be sure to reread your tale out loud as you write it. Wring your lettering and polish until it gleams. Please also note that processing does not take place until you have saved a publisher agreement.
Be sure to work on your script before sending it to a frahling or publishing house. I' ve talked to some emerging writers who believe that their ideas will suffice if adopted for publishing - it's the editor's task to put their stories into form. Naturally, while it is the truth, an editors will help you improve your script, it is your duty as an author to make your history as good as possible before you file it.
It' s offensive to tell a publishers an immature tale of mistakes and what a squandering of an opportunity. What an insult! Work on your work and give yourself your best chances of being published. In fact, while some authors may like to type and can tell a crisp tale, their typing can be far from having the grammatical correctness.
You may want to hire a specialist journalist before you submit your work to a publisher or agent. Although I can't guarantee that your storyline will be published, you will definitely improve your odds. When you are really committed to becoming a published author, and if you want your writers to like your writings and your novels, always work on your work.
Storyboards are a set of tools used by writers, graphic artists and graphic artists to design a story ( (or a journal, a movie, an animated movie, a game, etc.). We use a story board to organize the text over the number of pages available in the textbook to resolve any issues. As a rule, illustration is outlined on the "pages" of the storyline board, so that the author, illuminator, editors and creators can see the author's work.
The author's storyline boarding will help him eliminate all problems and identify all possible blind spot or sequential dilemma. My advice to children's writers is to take the necessary amount of free play to make a storyline board, even if someone else is doing the illustration. As you spread your script over the pages, you will be able to appreciate the stream and speed of your books, and you will see more clearly what your history will look like in a bookscape.
This can be a bit discouraging, and it will take a while to plot your storyline, but it's a worthwhile practice. And you don't have to sit around and sit around waiting for a publisher agreement to sneer. Indeed, once you have created and worked on your storyline - just think how important the work is - it may be a good concept to build a storyline board.
So, as already stated, a storyline board will show you all the issues that need to be resolved, and you can take care of them before you submit your stories to the publishing houses. There are 32 pages in the default image album. However, the storyline consists of 40 pages in number. Here is a model of a storyline board, below.
The page number 1 is glued face down on the inside of the front envelope of your work. The pages 2 and 3 are the intentions at the beginning of the volume. If you are creating your story board, especially if you are going to illustrate your textbook, you should consider whether you want to add a solid color, a sample or an artwork to your end papers.
Usually page 4 is reserved for the legal notice page. The information on the Impressum page may contain the name and the editor's address, the name and date of the author's birthday, the name of the author and the name of the artist, information on copyrights, the ISBN and information on the catalog in the work. The masthead page of children's image albums may also contain a brief author's life, an author's photograph and even a inscription.
Sometimes the masthead page is better placed at the end of the page 37, according to the amount of room needed for certain artwork and the course of the work. For the best place for the Impressum page you can use a storyboard. Usually page 5 is the cover page, which can contain the name of the author, the name of the author, the publisher's company name and an introduction to the publication.
The pages 6-37 are reserved for history. The intentions at the end of the volume are pages 38 and 39. As a rule, these reflect the intentions at the beginning of the volume. The back of page 39 is page 40 and is glued to the back of the album.
Welcome to my free children's picture book story board, so you have one at your fingertips. If you create your storyline, you need to use a much bigger piece of A4 page or pages, because the spread and pages displayed on your storyline must be large enough for you to use them.
When you create your storyline using computer programs, you can create it in any desired format, but remember that you or your publishers may need to do this. The next article will deal with the illustration of children's illustrated textbooks. A 12-part guidebook for authoring and releasing textbooks for kids.
I' m going to release the articles in the next few week and put them on Facebook and Instagram, but if you want to be sure you won't miss any of them, sign up for my free email news. A 12-part guidebook for creating and distributing textbooks for children: Part 2: Inspiration and IdeasPart 3: Character, subject, rhymes and rhymes and all the stationeryPart 4: Who is who in the animal park (author, illustrator, publisher, author, designer)Part 5: Editorial work and storyboardingPart 6: IllustrationPart 7: Conventional publication or self-publishingPart 8:

The true legacy of a person is the cumulative positive impact a person has on the lives of others. A life well lived is measured by what was accomplished compared to what could have been accomplished. This is what a stranger I met in a bus while coming to work this morning told me during our conversation. Pounding on his words gave me more insight to the word LEGACY. Actually, he spoke on this issue when he learnt I’m the first person doing something new in my school and when he asked me why I did what I did, I gave my reasons, well other seems to be judgmental but he accepted my opinions and stated the above LEGACY.
During my heart pondering session on his words which serves as a drive to me. I came to realize that whether you like it or not, you are leaving a legacy. Every life no matter how humble, how challenged by circumstance, how limited by the influence of poverty or social position , has incredible potential to have impact in the life of another and to itself be well lived. Although, there is one attribute I’ve found in nearly all those who have left a legacy of positive influence, of important impact: They rarely criticize the thoughts and beliefs of others.
I guess that’s another thing that concerned me about both the conventions: how much time was spent criticizing others rather than explaining beliefs and magnifying the positive influence we can have when lifting people up rather than pulling people down. People worthy of legacy influence may disagree with you and with one another, but almost universally they will tell you what they believe without attacking or belittling your beliefs. I have also noticed that those who are too quick to criticize the beliefs of others rarely demonstrate a legacy life, and the impact they have is of the moment, because it is more often negative, argumentative, and destructive. Legacy and positive impact depend on compassionate concern that values influence over applause.
Another way of understanding this is that truly great people elevate those around them, and those who are not truly great simply try to bring others down to their own small size. Attacking someone’s beliefs almost always suggests that you are trying to cut a great person down to your own size.
I have my political opinions. You have yours. Perhaps we agree. Next time you have the opportunity to tell me about yours, I’m going to try to remember what is said about disagreeing without being disagreeable, and I hope I listen with that same respect and attitude of love I would hope to receive from you.
