Green Gardens is now Certified Naturally Grown (CNG). This means that we follow the same USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards that Certified Organic producers do; however, we decided not to become certified organic for three main reasons: cost, paperwork, and our close relationship to our customers.
CNG is a grassroots effort by over 750 farmers and ranchers across the country to provide an alternative to USDA Organic that’s tailored for small-scale, direct-market producers. The certification program is available only to farmers and ranchers that support local markets and sell directly to their customers, and therefore don’t need to buy into the expense, paperwork, or more agribusiness/wholesale focus of Organic.
CNG uses the publicly available USDA NOPStandards as the basis of our growing practices, however the program is NOT affiliated in any way with the USDA NOP and is not administered or overseen by the USDA or any other government agency. CNG uses an application process, inspections, and unlike the USDA Organic program, makes use of random pesticide residue testing to help ensure consumer confidence
Farmers commit to the following practices:
• Absolutely no use of synthetic chemical insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers on our crops
• Minimal and careful use of even Organically approved soil amendments and sprays
• Care for our soil, water and air quality with crop rotations, cover crops, protective buffer strips and ecologically sustainable farming practices
• No use of chemically treated or Genetically Modified seeds
• Humane treatment of livestock including the use of no hormones or antibiotic-laced feed and consistent access to pasture
• Adherence to sanitary post-harvest practices including proper transport, storage and the use of only potable water for the washing of produce
• A commitment to pass on the land and surrounding environment in an even better condition than it was passed on to us
We grow this way because we care about our families' and workers' health, the health of our friends and customers purchasing and enjoying our food, and because we want to be good, sustainable stewards of the small portion of this earth that has temporarily been put under our care.
CNG is supported by national environmental groups, health organizations and sustainable agricultural groups including the National Cancer Awareness Coalition, the Sierra Club’s Atlantic Chapter and the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements (IFOAM). For more information and to see the complete list of farms participating in the program nationwide, please visit www.naturallygrown.org on the web.
Below we will post information about the farm's growing practices in an effort to be as transparent as possible about how the food you are consuming is grown.
Many people still do not believe that it is possible to have a productive farm using organic farming practices. In fact, we believe that organic farming is the key to having wonderful crops while also treating the earth with respect. It was essentially the way everyone farmed for thousands of years before WWII. After the war, chemical industries adopted the wartime stockpiles of toxins used for chemical warfare and decided they could instead be applied to food crops. Using chemicals on our food has been a key component of modern industrial agriculture ever since. Fortunately, organic, small-scale agriculture represents a positive alternative that removes the need for all these toxins in our food, soil, air, water, and other biological life.
Green Gardens grows dozens of different vegetables with between 100-120 different varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers each year. Unfortunately, organic seed is not available for every variety. However, when it is, the farm does pay more and purchases organic seed. Organic seed normally costs between 20-90% more than conventionally grown seed. Typically, we find that it is possible to find organic seed about 40-50% of the time for a certain variety. Each year more organic seed is becoming available.
Even though we use organic seed when available, we don't lose sleep at night using conventional seed. Spray residues on seed are minimal and they are of far lesser concern to us than using toxic sprays on the vegetable plants and fruits to be sold and eaten. The farm's main seed suppliers are:
• Maine Potato Lady (Potatoes)
If you are interested in gardening and want to grow your plants from seed, we highly encourage getting a Johnny's catalog. You can also view it online as a PDF. They are free and have just about anything you could imagine, plus helpful growing advice.
Most of the time spraying crops is not necessary, however, we occasionally use organically-approved (OMRI) pesticides and fungicides. We do not use any herbicides. We find that we can minimize the need for organic pesticides by simply using row-cover, a thin, sheet-like material that we place over crops. Ultimately, we try to focus on soil building to help the plants repel pests and diseases naturally; however, we do find that we need to use an organic spray sometimes to avoid losing crops and we think that this is a reasonable approach.
Here is a list what we might need to spray and why:
Cabbage, Collards, Kale, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts:
The organic pesticide Dipel which contains Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) and Monterey Garden Spray which contains spinosad to kill cabbage loopers. Loopers eat holes in leaves. Also, on occasion in early spring plantings we will need to use Pyganic to prevent flea beetle damage.
Swiss Chard: Monterey Insect Garden Spay (Spinosad) to control leaf miner damage.
Tomatoes: Dipel (Bt) to kill the tomato hornworm, which can defoliate an entire plant in days. Also, we will use a copper fungicide (Champ WG) and Actinovate AG (soil drench in greenhouse) to protect the plant against a variety of diseases and funguses. These are the only two sprays that we use preventatively on the plants at an early age in the greenhouse. We are very concerned about blight on tomatoes, so to prevent this, we pro-actively spray before the fungus gets out of control.
Cucumbers, Squash: The organic pesticide Pyganic (contains Pyrethrum) to kill the cucumber beetles which can defoliate the plants and spread bacterial diseases like bacterial wilt.
Potatoes: Pyganic in combination with Monterey Garden Spray (contains Spinosad) to kill the Colorado Potato Beetle. The beetle, if left unsprayed, would defoliate plants and heavily reduce yield.
Onions and Leeks: Copper fungicide Champ WG to prevent disease and fungus.
We will contine to try to reduce our use of sprays each year, or finding sprays that are more eco-friendly. Our current policy is to only use them when the crop's life is in jeopardy, or if the quality of the fruit/vegetable will be compromised to the point where the customer is likely to find it undesirable for consumption.
An important point to remember is that the scale that we are on forces us to do some spraying. It is not as if we can simply go out and pick the potato beetles off of 2,000 potato plants like you can in a garden.
Ultimately, healthy soil enables most plants to defend against pests/diseases/funguses, so we plan on improving fertility each year. However, spraying may still be necessary every once in a while to help the farm produce food and remain economically competitive.
Cover cropping is a key component of sustainable organic farming systems. Instead of using synthetic fertilizers derived from oil for fertility, cover crops use solar energy to build soil organic matter content and increase the nutrient capacity of the soil to improve crop growth. Cover crops can also be used to clean soil of certain pests and diseases that would plague crops if the land was in continuous production. Two other key benefits of cover crops are nutrient retention due to decreased leaching of soil nutrients (the roots of cover crops will latch on to nutrients and prevent them from washing away down into the soil strata) and they are also a great attractant for beneficial insects that are either pollinators or pest predators. Here on the farm we use a variety of cover crops: soybeans, vetch, rye, mustard, oats, New Zealand white clover, and a rye/vetch mix.
Vetch and Rye in Spring 2009 West Field:
Crop Rotation is widely undervalued in conventional farming systems. It is essentially the use of smart management techniques to move crops around the growing field each year and follow crops with the right kind of crop the next season. By not planting the same crop in the same area over and over again, pest and disease pressure can be reduced greatly, as well as the need to fertilize.
ReeMay (in photo below on right) is a thin, lightweight sheet-like material that is placed over crops to protect them from below-freezing temperatures for season extension in the Spring and Fall, as well as to reduce the need for organic pesticides and fungicides.
Crop diversity is another key to organic systems. Monocultures tend to be plagued with pest and disease problems. Having a multitude of different crops and varieties cuts down on pests and diseases, and it also reduces our risks as farmers to massive crop failures. We grow over 120 varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers.
Planting Pest and Disease Resistant Varieties:
Sometimes just planting the right variety can make spraying unnecessary and yield great crops. Many new varieties are being developed with tolerances to pests and diseases.
Using "Waste" Byproducts on the Farm:
In 2009, the farm received several tons of yard waste (all leaves) from area yards. The landscape companies were more than happy to drop it off at our farm since we were saving them from a further trip to the dump or burn yard. In other words, it was a win-win for both of us. The "waste" will be utilized on the farm as a mulch for weed control in between beds are rows for various crops. Over the next 1-2 years it will be returned to the soil and provide wonderful organic nutrients perfect for plant growth. Using resources in this way is sustainable. Over the next couple years it would be nice if we could create a citywide composting system, whereby all food/yard waste is recycled back into local community gardens/farms for fertility. It just makes sense to utilize these resources in efficient ways, productive ways.

7 Years After Turp Op Suddenly Started Getting Blood In Urine +Small Clots Any Ideas How To Stop This Bleed?
After a TURP, patients may see the new onset of blood in the urine. This can occur as a result of prostatic regrowth and new blood vessels may bleed. There is nothing that you can do to stop the bleeding. An evaluation with a Urologist needs to occur as there can also be other causes of urinary tract bleeding that may not be associated with the previous procedure.

Paris is the first time that the significant body of photographs which Ute Eskildsen suggest that Frank’s experience of the “new world” had sharpened his eye for European urbanism. He saw the city’s streets as a stage for human activity and focused particularly on the flower sellers. His work clearly references Atget and invokes the tradition of the flaneur.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Thursday banned road shows and vehicle rallies as well as large public meetings with more than 500 people for the remaining phases of the West Bengal Assembly elections after finding that political parties and candidates were flouting COVID-19 guidelines.
The Election Commission said in an order that it “noted with anguish that many political parties/candidates are still not adhering to the prescribed safety norms during the public gatherings and this is making difficult for the State/dstrict election machineries to enforce the aforesaid directions fully”.
Starting 7 p.m. on Thursday, the EC said no road show/padyatras; cycle, bike and vehicle rallies; and public meetings with more than 500 people would be allowed.
“Permission for road show, cycle/bike/vehicle rally, if granted already, stands withdrawn. Permission for public meeting, if granted already, stands modified to the extent above,” the EC said.
The ECI had issued guidelines for polling and campaigning during the pandemic in August 2020 and extended the same for the West Bengal, Assam, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and Kerala elections.
After finding violations of the guidelines, including on social distancing and mask-wearing, the EC had issued a warning to parties on April 9. It had banned rallies, public meetings, street plays and nukkad sabhas from 7 pm to 10 am starting April 16 and extended the silence period from 48 hours before polling to 72 hours, reducing the campaigning period. The EC had warned political parties again on Wednesday.

Last year's reunion tour didn't meet expectations, but it wasn't the complete disaster that some expected. The tour picked up steam as Live Nation marketing programs kicked in.
Outlook: A price-driven marketing platform will help the band top last year's run on average, though it's playing fewer shows. When this is done, lead singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Marc Tremonti's Alter Bridge will resume their respective careers.

Just because you want a relationship doesn’t mean you’re ready for one. I know what you’re thinking right now. “Of course, I’m ready for a relationship. It’s what I’ve been waiting so long for! I just need to know how I can get one started!”
Well, I’m certainly not arguing that you want a real relationship. I’m asking if you’re ready for a real relationship. That one’s tough to answer, because it entails really looking at yourself and your beliefs, attitudes and behaviors in a real, open, and honest way. And that’s never easy.
One thing I can tell you is that I’ve been there. I’ve been in that spot where all I could think about was how I so wanted a real relationship, with all of the affection, understanding, support and love that comes with it. And that’s when I asked myself this very same question and I realized that I didn’t like the answer. I had some major changing to do.
Are you ready for a relationship?
The ability to know if you are in a place to enter into a romantic relationship with another can be difficult to know. Let’s face it – love is
complex! Perhaps a more effective way of knowing the answer to the question – Am I relationship ready
– is to look at the warning signs that likely suggest you are not
What follows are 10 Signs that strongly indicate you are not yet ready to be involved in a romantic relationship. Generally speaking, if three or more of these signs apply to your situation, it may support a larger mosaic of evidence that you need to work on yourself more
Are you ready? Let’s jump right in!
1. You keep attracting the same types of people who are unhealthy for you
If you have a history of entering into relationships with people who are unhealthy for you and keep repeating that pattern, what will be different in a new romance?
2. You are settling for someone because they are simply interested
Many people believe they must enter into a given relationship with
another because that person is simply available, with no other prospects in the pipe-line. For obvious reasons, settling for someone because they have shown interest in you is not a recipe for long-term, lasting love.
3. You are hoping someone will “save you”
Hoping to escape your own emotional pain, you believe entering into a relationship with someone will save you from your emotional pain. In truth, no lover can do this for us. We can only create change for the positive by facing and ultimately working through our life issues – hopefully through insight oriented counseling.
4. You confuse love with obsession
Confusing love with obsession means that we instantly attach
ourselves to another, even though we have not given ourselves a chance to truly know
the person. Usually, those who confuse love with obsession attract mates who are emotionally unavailable. Characteristically, there is a pattern of obsessive love that is destructive in nature.
5. You feel you “Must” be in a relationship due to pressure
As mentioned previously, many people feel they need to be in a relationship with another because of family and societal pressures. If this is the case for you, it may be helpful to ask yourself the question: Isn’t love supposed to be organic? Can I really force love?
6. You want to fix someone
To a lesser or greater degree, all of us are co-dependent. Humans must
depend on one another in the larger scheme of things in order to survive. With that shared – if you want to enter into a relationship because you need to “fix” someone, it simply isn’t going to work – not for you or the person you are interested in. The need to fix another is a classic sign of co-dependency.
7. You just got out of a long-term relationship
This is one that many may dispute but needs to be included. If you have been in a relationship with another for an extended period of time (3-years or more) and recently got out of it, there is simply no way you are ready to move on to a new one. It takes time for the mind and heart to heal. As a general rule, it takes at least a year (if not more) to work through the aftermath of a relationship that recently collapsed.
8. Your self-esteem is deeply wounded
Much of this point relates to other signs mentioned here. If you are in a
place where your self-esteem is deeply wounded (aka in the crapper), you need to carefully think about your ability to function in a healthy, meaningful way in a romantic relationship. See point #3.
9. You feel sexually confident
This point simply means that you are not worried about “pleasing” your mate. In other words, your desire to become intimate with another feels equal when it happens, devoid of worry or concerns about “being enough” for a potential mate. In many ways, this means channeling the positive attributes of so called narcissism.
10. You don’t love yourself
We hear this term – self-love – but what does it really mean? It means being able to look at yourself in the mirror and accept who you are as a person. It means having the awareness that perfection is never possible and that you can only be the best person you can be at this exact moment in time. If you are not in this place, you simply are not relationship ready.
If any of the above sound like you, then you need to start looking inward and making some changes to your life in order to get yourself ready to be with someone else. The good news? Once you have these licked, you will be ready for a real relationship. And then you’ll be in good emotional shape to start attracting the kind of man that you want to be in a relationship with, and he’ll want to be in a relationship with you too.
Why? Because you’ll both be emotionally healthy. So, when Mr. Right does walk into your life, you’ll both be in the right state of mind, in the right place, at the right time. And it doesn’t get any more right than that.

Top 8 Movie Cyborgs
Welcome back to another edition of the 8 Ball, ladies and gentlemen! This week the long-gestating Robocop reboot finally hits theaters, to the anticipation of some and the dread of others. The film is just the latest in a long line of movies that explore the relationship between humanity and technology, and also the newest entry in a storied history of cyborgs given life by filmmakers. There is no small amount of history that Hollywood has with "man and machine" stories; the concept has been around since well before movies existed and finds a spiritual successor in stories like American folk hero John Henry, who in a tall tale competed against a steam-powered hammer to build a railroad faster and better. This week we're going to take a look at the film industry's exploration of half-man, half-machines as we count down the best cyborgs in cinematic history.
Caveat: Let's start here by defining what exactly a cyborg is. There is an often fuzzy line between the definition of cyborgs, androids and other artificially-created or enhanced individuals. For the purposes of this column I am using the commonly-accepted definition, which is as follows: "A cyborg is an organism consisting of both biological and artificial parts, with the mechanical or electronic components usually (but not always) enhancing the original biological entity." This distinguishes them from androids, which are essentially robots created in a way to simulate real life. There was a lot of debate regarding the replicants from Blade Runner and how they qualify; I chose to disqualify them because while they are artificial and enhanced, there is no evidence to suggest they have anything other than biological parts. (Consider that the only way to detect them is the interview, and thus not detectable via any sort of scan for artificial components.)
Just Missing The Cut
• Casella "Cash" Reese (Cyborg 2)
• John Silver (Treasure Planet)
• The Colossus (The Colossus of New York)
• Pearl Prophet (Cyborg)
• Gigan (Godzilla vs. Gigan)
#8: Jason Voorhees (Jason X)
First up on our list is what may be the perfect fusion of machine and psychopathic killer. Jason Voorhees is one of the most well-known slashers in cinematic history, with the Friday the 13th franchise slicing its way through a record number of victims over ten films (twelve if you count the reboot and Freddy vs. Jason). For his tenth outing, New Line decided it was time to send Jason into the future and space so that they wouldn't destroy any potential continuity for the planned battle movie with Freddy Krueger. To some this was the low point of the franchise, but I very much appreciate the film's embracing of its silliness and the effects are surprisingly good, all things considered. Jason became his most bad-ass when, after being blown to pieces by an upgraded Kay-Em android, he is repaired by the ship's medical bay and given mechanical pieces to fill in for the missing biological matter. The result was "Uber Jason," a cybernetically-enhanced zombie serial killer with death on his mind. His look is cheesy to some but I always felt that it completely fit what they were aiming for and he is able to perform even more impressive feats once he has robotic strength. It takes riding him through Earth 2's atmosphere to finally destroy him this time around and even then, it's Jason so you know he's coming back. Silly or not, Cyber-Jason kicked some serious ass.
#7: Luc Deveraux/GR44 (Universal Soldier)
Jean-Claude Van Damme had worked with cyborg stories before on film, specifically in--well, the film Cyborg. This was the first film in which he actually played one though. There is an argument out there (and an understandable one) that Luc Deveraux and the rest of the UniSols are not in fact cyborgs, and are simply reanimated dead along the lines of Frankenstein's monster. However, it is heavily implied that the UniSols are in fact enhanced with technology in some way, and this is reinforced by the fact that the film obviously borrows from the Marvel Comics character of Deathlok. Even the eyepiece suggests Deathlok's image. Deveraux is of course the protagonist and most heroic of the UniSols and he even manages to get his personality back where most of the subjects remain autonomous. Van Damme would return to reprise the role for the disastrous Universal Soldier: The Return, which is no longer considered canon in the franchise. Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, while not particularly great films, helped redeem the franchise a bit and also Deveraux as a character. He is an excellent example of the human spirit fighting against machine control and while he may not be the obvious cyborg that others are, the themes alone would earn him entry even if the mechanical components are fairly subtle.
#6: Doctor Octopus (Spider-Man 2)
Doc Ock was a difficult choice in terms of whether he qualified for the list or not. On one hand he appears to be more of a man with a prosthetic of sorts along the lines of Dr. No, Luke Skywalker or Del Spooner from I, Robot. However, I did decide to include him because his cybernetic arms connect directly into his nervous system and become a definite part of his being as opposed to something that could be removed. Otto Octavius is one of Spider-Man's greatest villains (even more so in the era of the Superior Spider-Man comic run) and he deserved a classic portrayal on the big screen. Sony scored a coup when they cast the great Alfred Molina in the role. Molina makes the character of Otto a more sympathetic one than it otherwise might have been and he nails the role perfectly. The AI of the cybernetic arms trying to assert dominance over Otto's personality is a classic cyborg theme, enhancing the story above that of "just another comic-book movie." He is arguably the best portrayal of a Spider-Man villain in a live action film to date, depending on your opinion of Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn, and the tragedy of Otto is portrayed incredibly well in the movie. Sam Raimi's digital effects team does fantastic work with arms and his look is definitely more impressive than what we get in the comics without completely invalidating it, adding the finishing touches to one hell of a cyborg supervillain.
#5: The Borg Queen (Star Trek: First Contact)
I find it interesting that my list is split 50/50 between protagonists and antagonists on this list (with two that definitely straddle the line); it wasn't intentional at all but just happened. Here's the highest-ranked pure villain in the Borg Queen. The Borg are perhaps the greatest addition of a race that was made to the Star Trek universe during the Next Generation era. There were several races added during this time frame of course: Ferengi, Betazoids, Cardassians, the Q, Bajorans and more. But the Borg are certainly the most formidable villains from the era. They were dangerous during the Next Generation series but when Star Trek: First Contact came about they hit a new level of threat. No small part of that was due to the introduction of the Borg Queen, as exquisitely played by Alice Krige. The Queen was the previously-unknown leader of the collective, one of the few who could distinguish themselves as an individual and Krige was wonderfully creepy in the role. She is Data's tempter in the movie and very nearly succeeds. She proves quite formidable as a mental and physical adversary and returned to play the role in the series finale of Star Trek: Voyager. She certainly earns her spot on this list.
#4: Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell)
While cyborg existence sometimes seems to be more of a boys' club (especially for heroic cyborgs), there are a solid number of man-machine hybrids of the female variety. For my money, none of them quite match up to Major Motoko Kusanagi. Motoko is the protagonist of the many Ghost in the Shell properties--the manga, the anime series and the film. While her characterization and appearance varies from one to the other, she is pretty much amazing in all of them. The film version of Motoko is a more androgynous, brooding character who struggles with the notion of how much humanity she has left due to her cybernetic body. She even questions if she is entirely synthetic and just programmed to believe she was once a human. She eventually finds what she's looking for in the hacker she's hunting, the mysterious Puppet Master. Motoko is a more cerebral take on the cyborg and directly addresses most of the questions we ask about the nature of humanity and technology. It's a supremely good story and a very strong character. A live-action version of this film is reportedly in the works and I'm skeptical of Hollywood trying to adapt this one, but we'll see how it goes.
#3: Robocop (Robocop)
C'mon, Robocop inspired this list. There's no way he wasn't ending up on it. Paul Verhoeven has a reputation for bad films and make no mistake: he's made some bad ones. Showgirls nearly killed his career and stigmatized him forever. But he has also made some amazing science fiction films including Total Recall, Starship Troopers and this 1987 classic. RoboCop is often viewed as a cult classic today and considered "charming," both views of which belie the fact that it is a damned good movie which was well-received and a legitimate hit. It tackles a lot of serious themes amidst the ultra-violence, including a hard look at the corruption of media, class war and corporations. Peter Weller was a perfect fit for the role of Alex Murphy and Robocop is a symbol that stands in the face of people who claim that sci-fi wasn't socially relevant in the 1980s. Weller plays the role with a perfect tenor, capturing both the robot and the man. It must also be noted that Weller conveys all of the emotion in his character (and there is emotion there, let's be clear about that) with just the lower half of his face. That's a deceptively difficult thing to do. And if you're not interested in him as a person, let's just note that he kicks some serious ass as well. Later films would try to drag him down and they largely contribute to views that marginalize the character, but he's a major part of sci-fi lore and--well, let's just say that Joel Kinnaman has a lot to live up to with the reboot.
#2: Terminator 850 Series Model 101 (The Terminator)
There are certain cyborgs that are just simply iconic. Among them are Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-850. (You can argue it's the T-800 or T-101 or whatever if you like, by the way. The movies all change what they call him.) The Terminator is such a simple concept given complex execution when you think about it: a war between man and machine brought to the present day, thanks to a bit of time travel. And in that little tweak we entered a whole new world of science fiction in which we add the themes of fate and destiny to what is already a meaty topic about free will in the man/machine debate. Schwarzenegger would play the T-850 in a transition from film to film of assassin to protector to ally and through these films, we saw not only the progression of the machine; we saw the Terminator grow a soul. Now of course, that's a bit confusing when you consider that they're all different models who never would have met each other. But this is time travel, a genre that is notable for impressive plot holing. Let's not sweat the small stuff there. Whether as an unstoppable killer who shrugged off everything thrown at him or a protector who refused to die until John Connor was safe, the Terminator was always a force to be reckoned with and quite possibly the coolest cyborg of all time.
#1: Darth Vader (Star Wars films)
Bow down to the dark lord of cyborgs, ladies and gentlemen. Darth Vader isn't the original cyborg by any remote stretch but he's certainly the most well-known. The Sith Lord began as the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and was tempted over to the Dark Side by the skilled manipulation of Darth Sidious. Vader represents so much on a thematic level that it is almost difficult to quantify. He is viewed as a symbol of technology vs. religion or spirituality, as a struggle between man and machine. He has become a symbol of evil in pop culture, but also one of redemption thanks to his acts at the end of Return of the Jedi. He's the oppressive government regime and his origin story has been compared to that of African American racial identity. His characterization is even taught as an example of classic borderline personality disorder. And throughout it all he remains one of the most well-known science fiction figures of all time. It has been said that his image is one of the most universally-recognized on the planet and for good reason. James Earl Jones' deep, booming voice and that gas mask breathing can still bring a chill down my spine. There are no ifs, and or buts about it to me: Darth Vader is the easy #1 choice for best film cyborgs.

The Final Cut: Fans Refuse To Let Joan Of Arcadia Die
The third week of May was a sad time for many television viewers. That was the week when the major television networks announced what new shows would be hitting our screens in the fall, but more importantly, what shows had been canceled. While some of you may have been sad to see your favorite shows get the axe, many devoted fans of CBS’s “Joan of Arcadia” decided that just because their favorite show had been declared dead didn’t mean it couldn’t be revived. While many viewers who are upset about a shows’ cancellation settle for signing an online petition that probably won’t even be seen by a network executive, one viewer decided that simply would not be enough and created the website www.savejoanofarcadia.com in an effort to help give the show a second chance at life.
So what is savejoanofarcadia.com? While the site does offer links to various online petitions, it also offers a “game plan” on how to help in the fight to save JoA, as many fans know it. What kind of a game plan, you wonder? It’s actually quite simple. Sony Pictures owns the rights to “Joan of Arcadia”, and is reportedly trying to sell the show to another major network such as NBC, ABC, or FOX. Fans of the show follow a scheduled set of “waves” which require either emailing, faxing or snail mailing certain items(or pictures of items if emailing/faxing) relating to the show to Sony and the 3 major networks. Take the second wave for example, which started on Monday. Fans were to send in either scarves, thread or yarn with a note reading, “Operation Save Joan! Because ‘All of creation shares a common thread, like your scarf. How you use that thread becomes the pattern of your life.’” The quote of course coming from a second season episode entitled, “Common Thread”.
Due to the fact that the actors’ contracts are expiring on June 15th, there will only be a total of 5 waves, the final one starting on June 11th. Some people might think that this idea won’t get very far, but this site has already gotten a lot of media coverage with an AP article on Yahoo! News, MSN News, and CNN.com, an article in Failure Magazine, and a mention in a tvguide.com column. And don’t forget the publicity from nearly every JoA fansite, and word of mouth among loyal fans.
CBS has said that low ratings and viewer demographics(the median age of JoA viewers was 53.9 yrs. old) were the reasons for the cancellation, but many believe that both of those reasons were caused by the fact that the show, whose target audience is adolescents, aired on Friday nights, a night when many teens are out with their friends and not about to let an hour long television show get in the way of their social life. While it may have made more sense for CBS to move “Joan” to another night of the week, making it more accessible to teens, they decided to scrap the show all together, replacing it with a show called “Ghost Whisperer” starring Jennifer Love Hewitt as a young woman who has the ability to speak with dead people.
This is not the first time fans have come together to help save a show, but the big question is will this effort to resurrect a show that many love be a success? Only time will tell, and while the major networks have already announced their fall line-ups, there is always a place as a mid-season filler which would be worth the wait to fans even though the show might not air again until January at the earliest. “Joan of Arcadia” may need a miracle to get it back on the air, but this Emmy nominated show, and it’s fans, may just have what it takes to get the job done.

Hitting The Forage in the depths of Canberra winter is a cool experience, not only is the biting winter chill fighting through the layers of clothing but only the hippest folk in Canberra get out to these sort of events.
There’s a lot of that cultured hipster feeling that Canberra seems to do so well, the carefully manicured appearance of thrift and alternative so that it’s “an individual” yet someone exactly in the pattern locals are used to expecting.
Sure the battle for parking around the New Acton precinct can kick the evening off with a frustration – surely driving on the correct side of the road and following a few arrows isn’t that hard Canberra? However it’s nice once you’re in. Our first stop was the Peruvian Chanchito stand, my first introduction to such a beast and hopefully not my last. At $12 for a good sized (1.5 hander) burger heaped with pork belly and slaw, between a slice of sweet potato and a rustic roll it’s big on flavour providing ample fuel to ward off the cold.
We boosted our our inner warmth unloading a closet of rarely used blankets to the Vinnies Winter appeal, sadly it seemed so many of those hipsters among us forget the struggles of some and shied away from donations, be that of coin or warmth.
For the organisers there’s no doubt the formula worked, can it be repeated through the year as intended? Only time will tell.

After Republic Airways Holdings purchased Frontier Airlines out of bankruptcy in 2009, Denver's home-grown airline had to relocate its headquarters to Indianapolis. In a highly publicized debate at the time, Republic shifted hundreds jobs away from Denver to Milwaukee. Now, more than two years after flying the coop, Frontier will return to Denver, but plenty is still up in the air.
The Denver Business Journal reported Thursday that Frontier's new CEO David Siegel has two main goals: prepare the company for new ownership, and reconnect the airline with Denver in a substantial way.
Frontier will likely be spun off from Republic sometime in the third or fourth quarter of this year. Potential suitors include private-equity investors, another airline, or potentially to existing Republic shareholders, according to the Denver Post.
"We have been focused inwardly on our survival," said Siegel to the paper. "This is a new chapter for us. Now we can start to grow again."

Against the bombings of the Turkish state and their ISIS-Al Nusra gangs, the people of Afrin’s Jindires district are on the streets flashing victory signs.
The Resistance of the Age against invasion attacks in Afrin has continued for a month. The people in the Jindires region are on the streets, from the youngest to the eldest, and give a message to the invaders that they will not abandon their lands.
After some rainfall, the residents of Afrin’s Jindires district were sitting under the sun and children were playing on the streets, despite the sound of bombs falling in the district center.
In the first street between the Yelanqoz neighborhood and the center, dozens of people including children were chanting victory slogans with great morale.
A citizen named Abu Henan said the Turkish state is trying to push civilians out of their homes and continued: “The Resistance of the Age has completed its first month, the Turkish state can’t advance. I have 4 children in the YPG, they are defending their lands, their freedom, their future. How can I leave my house and abandon my children? If all four of my children are martyred, I will pick up arms and fight the enemy. We saw what happened in Shengal. We won’t let that happen in Afrin. We will either die here, or we will prevail. That is our decision. If we don’t spill our blood for our country and our freedom when necessary, how can we live in dignity?”
Continuing to walk around in Jindires, we asked children playing in the streets if they were going to school. The expected answer we have all witnessed came right away: “Yes, we are in school, but the Turkish army and their gangs have laid ruin to our schools. We want to go back to our studies, but the Turkish state does not let us.”
The children can’t go to school, because the schools have been demolished. They don’t go to school, because their city is being destroyed. They don’t go to school, because there are those who want to steal their childhood away from them. Because the invaders are killing them. But children are the future of any society. So, when children are killed, it’s the future of a people that is being massacred.
We continued in the Jindires district. Along with the sound of mortar shells, a woman on the street accompanied us. She flashed the victory sign. We walked, and she talked: “With our resistance, we will determine our fate. We will prevail against invaders, victory is ours. We will not let invaders take our lands.”
Koma Zilan members who are studying traditional dance in the Jindires Cultural and Arts Center said they continue their training despite the war and the attacks.
A woman was sitting in front of her house, watching us. We approached her. She was confident and proud. She spoke, as if weighing every word and the message they give: “We are not afraid of the Turkish army and their gangs. We are right, that is why we will prevail.”
The people of Jindires, like all the people of Afrin, continue to resist the Turkish state.

Over half of city's women fine with aging: SurveyTNN | Aug 26, 2012, 04.59 AM IST
MUMBAI: One thing that's common to women across different life stages is the huge pressure to look good, reveals a survey is anything to go by.
According to the findings covering around 900 women across Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, nine out of ten working women interviewed say "youthful skin" makes them more confident at work, even as eight in ten women buy into theories that unmarried women look better than married ones. However, contrary to popular belief most of those interviewed women didn't prioritize nurturing their looks, often placing greater priority to tasks like cooking and bringing up children over skincare routines.
The stress associated with appearance was evident given that both homemakers and working women admitted that it often determined their confidence levels.
So, 83% of interviewed mothers said they felt more confident about going to their kids' school to picking up their son/daughter from school on days that they felt more youthful.
An overwhelming 90% of women said youthful skin boosted their confidence at work. Nine out of ten married women said they were happier to snuggle up to their spouses on "good-skin days". A majority in Delhi for instance, would want to turn back the clock only to get back their youthful looks. However, 56% of women in Mumbai feel better as they grew older. Psychiatrist Harish Shetty doesn't agree with the claims of self-esteem tying in so closely with appearance. "Self-esteem in the East is often examined by the variables of the West," said Shetty.
"Many survey result in superficiality rather than incisive learning.
It is inappropriate to look at one variable of looks and generalize women's self esteem. Well-being of the family, for instance, substantially contributes to a sense of esteem for Indian women," he added. Dermatologist Satish Bhatia attributes much of the increasing obsession with looks to the popularity of the internet and penetration of foreign TV channels. "Many women patients surf beauty treatment options online and come to us with specific suggestions," he said.
However, women don't seem to get much time to spoil themselves. Nearly 88% newlyweds said they skipped their usual morning skin regimen to ensure their husband's tiffin was ready in time; those who were working too shared this concern with 84% skipping their routine to attend early-morning meetings. Over 83% mothers across the three cities said they paid more attention to their childrens' score-cards than their skin.
The survey was conducted by research agency A C Nielsen and commissioned by Olay Total Effects.

Spain's Santander said today that a release of €750m in pandemic-related provisions and a strong performance in the US and Britain drove an eight-fold rise in fourth-quarter net profit compared to a year earlier.
The coronavirus crisis forced banks in Europe to set aside costly provisions to protect their books from any potential fallout.
But banks, mainly in the US and Britain, are starting to reduce them due to improved economic conditions.
The bank, the euro zone's second-biggest lender, said the release of overlay provisions reflected a general improvement in the economies where Santander operates.
Net profit of 2.28 billion in the October to December period, representing a 4.6% rise against the previous quarter, was helped by a lack of restructuring charges seen in the same period last year.
In 2021, the lender swung back to a profit of €8.12 billion after a record annual loss of €8.77 billion in 2020. Both the quarterly and the full-year net profit were in line with analysts forecasts.
With an improved economic outlook, Santander forecast a return on equity ratio (ROTE), a measure of profitability, of over 13% in 2022, up from an underlying ROTE 12.73% by the end of December. The bank has an underlying mid-term ROTE target of between 13% to 15%.
Santander also improved its core tier-1 fully loaded capital ratio, the strictest measures of solvency, to 12.12% from 11.85% in September.
The bank has expanded in emerging economies where it hopes to register a faster growth than in Spain and Britain, its core European markets, where it has been focusing on cutting costs as it has struggled with an ultra low rates environment.
It said it aimed to reach a cost-income ratio, a measure of efficiency, of around 45% at group level in 2022 from 46.2% now.
Overall, net interest income, a measure of earnings on loans minus deposit costs, rose 8.7% in the fourth quarter against the same quarter in 2020 to €8.72 billion, above analysts' forecasts of €8.51 billion.

With “80 percent accuracy and with no racial bias,” the paper, A Deep Neural Network Model to Predict Criminality Using Image Processing, claimed its algorithm could predict “if someone is a criminal based solely on a picture of their face.” The press release has since been deleted from the [Harrisburg University] website.[June 23], more than 1,000 machine-learning researchers, sociologists, historians, and ethicists released a public letter condemning the paper, and Springer Nature confirmed on Twitter it will not publish the research.
But the researchers say the problem doesn’t stop there… The letter argues it is impossible to predict criminality without racial bias, “because the category of ‘criminality’ itself is racially biased.”
Advances in data science and machine learning have led to numerous algorithms in recent years that purport to predict crimes or criminality. But if the data used to build those algorithms is biased, the algorithms’ predictions will also be biased. Because of the racially skewed nature of policing in the US, the letter argues, any predictive algorithm modeling criminality will only reproduce the biases already reflected in the criminal justice system.
“Like computers or the internal combustion engine, AI is a general-purpose technology that can be used to automate a great many tasks, including ones that should not be undertaken in the first place,” the letter reads.

One of Chattanooga's oldest real estate companies is joining with well-known central city property management and development groups in an estimated $60 million merger.
Fidelity Trust Co., SVN Second Story Real Estate Management and Lamp Post Properties have combined to form Aslan Holdings, according to partners Matt McGauley and Tiffanie Robinson.
"We've been colleagues for years," said Robinson in an interview, noting they recently partnered on a North Shore project. "We realized how strong the partnership would be if we do something bigger."
Fidelity Trust Co., which started in 1912, has rebranded as FTC Development and will operate as a boutique commercial real estate development firm specializing in innovative and sustainable adaptive reuse and ground-up projects.
SVN Second Story will be the operating company handling all property management and maintenance along with leasing and brokerage services.
Although the companies will collaborate, they remain separate entities, the partners said.
Also, McGauley has merged his real estate portfolio with that of Lamp Post Properties, making Aslan into the largest locally owned portfolio of downtown commercial properties in Chattanooga.
"Downtown is where we've planted our flag," said McGauley, CEO of FTC Development, in an interview.
In addition, SVN Second Story will have a total of nearly 2 million square feet of commercial, mixed-use and multifamily properties under management, the partners said.
Aslan, the holding company's name, comes from the lion in the C.S. Lewis book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," Robinson said. She said the lion was "nimble, flexible and found a way to beat the odds."
The headquarters of the merged businesses is the Loveman's building. Together, it will employ 32 people.
McGauley said Fidelity has thrived over the years through innovation, a willingness to be adaptable and not being satisfied with the status quo.
"Our core values and love for Chattanooga align," he said. "Our combined resources will lead to making a greater impact on the city we love, providing enhanced services to our clients, and delivering strong, reliable returns to our partners."
Robinson, CEO of SVN Second Story and Lamp Post Properties, said the mission has always been to provide the highest quality product and returns for its partners and clients.
She said that with Second Story recently joining the SVN global franchise and now Lamp Post Properties merging with Fidelity Trust Co., "I am more confident than ever that our team will be able to greatly serve the clients and communities we work with."
"It's kind of a natural fit," Robinson said. "The skills each brings to the table - it makes a lot of sense."
McGauley said he and Robinson are like-minded in what they've done with their companies. He cited the recent partnership in the redevelopment of the former long-time Chattanooga Printing and Engraving Building at 110 Somerville Ave. on the North Shore along with a new two-story building that's to go up nearby at 306 Cherokee Blvd. That $17 million project will include apartments and office space.
"It became clear we could do a lot more together," McGauley said.
They'll continue to focus on downtown, historic buildings and adaptive reuse, but they said they plan to branch out to other midsize cities in the region.
"We're committed to Chattanooga, but we see other opportunities," Robinson said.
She said the merged entity also views opportunities in the affordable housing sector.
Lamp Post Properties has served as the real estate arm of Lamp Post Group, the Chattanooga-based venture incubator started by partners Ted Alling, Barry Large and Allan Davis, who Robinson said remain part of the holding company.
Lamp Post Properties has been committed to creating so-called next-generation spaces in and outside Chattanooga's Innovation District such as the Tomorrow Building off Patten Parkway.

Students “Hack Dibner” to improve library experience
Walking into a spacious, well-stocked library can be a transformative experience: the hushed atmosphere of productive study, the sense of intellectual curiosity ... yet few would argue that the experience always meets expectations. Whether it’s the occasional noisy patron or difficulty finding an unoccupied seat, those annoyances can mar even the most well-planned study session.
The annual “Hack Dibner” competition challenges NYU Tandon students to use technology to address such issues here at Dibner and other NYU libraries, and this year several teams came up with innovative solutions to the problems that most irked them.
The initiative kicked off on September 20, and throughout the semester participants attended workshops on ideation, project management, literature review, pitching, and other vital topics. Led by library mentors Lindsay Anderberg and Matthew Frenkel, the hackers learned the importance of using universal design principles and being data-driven, flexible, and willing to iterate.
By December 6, the day the competition entries were judged, several hacks had been prototyped and were ready to be assessed on the basis of their impact (20 points), feasibility (20 points), contextual inquiry and user experience (20 points), creativity (20 points), written proposal (10 points), and final pitch (10 points). (Teams who attended the workshops and consulted library mentors could also be awarded five bonus points for engagement and grit.)
It was a difficult decision for judges, but when the evening was over, Team Tandonnect had been declared the winner of the $500 first-place prize with a score of 96.6. Acknowledging how isolating it can feel to study alone, team members Michelle La, Chengfeng Luo, and Vikram Sakkia devised a digital app aimed at pairing like-minded students to form study groups and schedule meeting times. The goal went beyond just helping students excel academically, they said. “With NYU being comprised of commuter students, international students, and a wide variety of others, we see this as a way to support one another and build a cohesive community,” they explained.
With a score of 93.5, Team Hush earned the second-place prize of $250. Members Satish Reddy Bethi, Shubham Desai, and Zeru Zhang admitted to being annoyed by a noisy person from time to time while at Dibner — until they were admonished themselves one day for being too loud. “We hadn’t even been aware of our volume,” they recalled, “and it was really embarrassing to have it pointed out.” Hoping to save others from inadvertently committing a similar faux pas, they devised a silent alarm system that attaches to a table and flashes briefly when an unexpectedly loud sound is detected — an idea that impressed judges with its utility and sensitivity.
Thanks to those winning ideas, Dibner may soon be filled with lots more camaraderie and much less noise.
