WELD COUNTY, Colo. -- Just across from a cornfield in Weld County is a 15-acre plot growing hemp. While small, the hemp crop could be worth a lot more to a farmer than the corn.
"Farmers are really desperate to find something that could be more profitable, and hemp has at least show the potential to be more profitable," said Brent Young, an agriculture and business expert with the Colorado State University Extension.
Hemp farmers can thank the CBD boom for soaring demand. Cannabidiol is derived from hemp plants. Unlike marijuana, the THC content is extremely low, and CBD is not psychoactive. The FDA is currently studying how to regulate CBD and claims about its health benefits. Users have claimed it helps with everything from anxiety management to pain relief.
Because of that demand, an acre of hemp with around 3,000 plants could be worth over $100,000. It's an attractive option for farmers who have been dealing with depressed prices for crops like corn and alfalfa.
"Interest is taking off in the farming community," said Hollis Glenn, with the Colorado Department of Agriculture's Consumer Division. "We are seeing the number of registrations to grow hemp almost double year after year for the last five years," Glenn added.
When the federal government legalized hemp in 2018, it required states to come up with plans to regulate hemp growth and transportation. The Colorado Department of Agriculture is going a step further, with the Colorado Hemp Advancement and Management Plan, or C.H.A.M.P. Its goal is not only to regulate, but to develop and promote every aspect of the hemp supply chain. Dozens of stakeholders from a variety of industries applied to be part of C.H.A.M.P.
"We have everyone from the Colorado Bankers Association , the National Hemp Industry Association, local law enforcement, state agencies (and) health agencies," said Glenn.
Another goal of C.H.A.M.P is to give farmers a clear direction and assurance that the state is behind them.
Growing hemp requires a substantial initial investment. There is currently no insurance for it, and there are plenty of unknowns when it comes to the future of CBD.
"We need to look long term as well," said Glenn. "We don't know where we're going with CBD. It may be here to stay, it could change radically. Our concern is the farmers aren't hurt or economically disadvantaged because of this," he said.
Young, who is also a farmer, advises growers to weigh the costs and benefits before jumping in.
"If you decide that you want to produce hemp, look at it as a speculative crop and be sure that you’re only investing what you can afford to lose."

Jonny Evans says he didn't intend to hurt Stuart Holden
Thursday 24 March 2011
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans admits his tackle on Stuart Holden was not a good one but has stressed that he had no intention of hurting the Bolton midfielder.
Holden required 26 stitches in a gash in his knee following the challenge during Saturday's Barclays Premier League match at Old Trafford, for which Evans was sent off.
The injury is expected keep United States international Holden, who has since undergone surgery, out of action for six months, but the 25-year-old has already said via his Twitter account that he does not blame Evans for what happened.
Holden also revealed that he had received a "sincere" phone call from the Northern Ireland international, and Evans told BBC Sport: "I just said (to Holden) I was sorry, and that I didn't mean to go in and hurt him."
He added: "At the time I did think I'd gone in for a fair challenge and I'd won the ball.
"But looking back on it when I went straight off the pitch and into the changing rooms and saw the tackle again, I realised it wasn't a good tackle from myself - and my concerns were immediately with Stuart.
"Bolton's doctor was keeping me informed, and gave me a call on Monday.
"It was disappointing to hear the news, (so) I just rang him straight away to apologise.
"I think anyone appreciates a phone call if someone's caused them an injury.
"Not many footballers like to be on the treatment table, it's just unfortunate that someone else has caused an injury to you."

Seven towns in the province of Aklan have so far not registered cases of coronavirus since the start of pandemic said the Provincial Health Office (PHO-Aklan). These COVID-19-free towns are Buruanga, Batan, Tangalan, Nabas, Balete, New Washington and Madalag.
Data from Aklan Provincial Epidemiology Surveillance and Response Unit as of Friday, August 14 showed Kalibo with the most number of SARS-CoV-2 infections with 7, Numancia has 4 cases, Malinao, Banga and Libacao with 3 each. Ibajay with two cases, and Altavas, Lezo, Makato and Malay have one each.
To date, the province has the lowest number of COVID-19 cases in Western Visayas with 26, while 13 have already recovered. Aklan’s lone recorded fatality was from Numancia, Aklan.
PHO-Aklan also reported 5,708 overseas Filipino workers and locally stranded individuals (LSIs) have returned home to the province. From that figure, 5,268 or 92% were cleared of the coronavirus and have completed the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
The capital town of Kalibo had the most number of LSIs and returning OFs with 687 followed by Ibajay with 592 and New Washington with 581. Lezo has the lowest number of LSIs /ROFs with 94.
A total of 1,210 persons were also tested using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or swab test. A total of 94 percent or 1,137 were negative for SARS-CoV-2, while 51 test results are still pending with the regional molecular laboratories.
The Department of Health Western Visayas Center for Health Development has recorded 2,586 confirmed cases with 1,183 patients recovered from the virus. Death toll in the region reached 34.
A total of 1,369 active cases have been reported in 6 provinces and two highly urbanized cities as of August 14, while 99 coronavirus disease patients are still confined in health facilities.
Workers in Boracay in dire straits
Meanwhile, “We Are Boracay,” a group of marginalized workers in Boracay Island, appealed for help in light of coronavirus pandemic. They are calling for support and donations for the families and children of displaced workers who were left reeling from the impact of pandemic.
Rosario Moleta of “We Are Boracay” said the workers are having a hard time to stay positive since the community quarantine was introduced.
A majority of establishments in the island were forced to temporarily shut down or adopt the flexible work arrangement while livelihood opportunities of workers were also hit hard by the pandemic and travel restrictions of tourists.
Many business owners are struggling with their rentals and utilities payments, and zero bookings as international flights to Aklan are also banned.
It hasn’t been easy for workers who were already trying to make ends meet before the pandemic, especially those marginalized workers in Boracay Island. They are searching for other jobs, do have money or savings and were forced to rely for government aid to feed their families.
“Hindi pa kami lubusang nakabangon sa trahedya ng kahirapan bunga ng pagsasara ng isla noong mga nagdaang taon at ngayon. Dahil sa kapabayaan ng gobyerno na magbigay ng ayuda sa mamamayan sa itong pandemya, mas lalong lumala ang aming buhay,” Moleta said.
(We have not fully recovered from the tragedy caused by the closure of the island last year, and now we are in this situation. Because government has completed abandoned helping the people suffering due to the pandemic, our life is getting more miserable.)
Boracay Island reopened for tourists of Western Visayas on June 16 to jump start the local economy. Despite the island’s allowing visitors, only 1,244 travelers in the region entered the prime tourist site from June 16 to August 9.
With reduced incomes and loss of work, the displaced workers of ‘We Are Boracay’ are seeking for financial aid to support the home-schooling of their children.
Moleta said workers also faced unprecedented stress, economic pressures and the long-term effects of pandemic are making the people desperate. – Rappler.com

Now, it looks like Twitch is in the crosshairs again thanks to a report from Bloomberg, asserting that “Child predators use Twitch to systematically track kids livestreaming.”
For a minute, it seemed like Twitch had a win on its hands with the gambling ban, but many critics are rightly pointing it out as hypocritical. Now, much more serious allegations are coming out, involving child predators using Twitch to groom victims.
The article outlines specific instances of children streaming on Twitch with suspiciously high views on their VoDs – especially when asked to do some revealing acts.
Predators will often hop into a child’s Twitch stream and ask them to do some inappropriate things – taking off clothing, dancing, or showing off. Many times, the young streamer – naive and hungry for viewers – obliges.
Twitch isn’t the first platform to get into hot water of this issue. A few years ago, YouTube faced a similar controversy – albeit more difficult to police. Personal videos of children dancing or playing began getting flooded by child predators, using code and planting time-stamps of children in exposing positions.
Unlike YouTube, though, Twitch is a live-streaming platform where these predators can interact with potential victims. Twitch is also facing criticism, in this instance, for failing to enforce its age restriction – which is only 13 years old.
In a statement, a Twitch spokesperson told Bloomberg, “We know that online platforms can be used to cause harm to children, and we have made extensive investments over the last two years to better stay ahead of bad actors and prevent any users who may be under 13 from accessing Twitch.”
This is another in a long line of criticism for Twitch. It remains to be seen how they’ll respond, and what – if anything – they’ll change.

Let's begin with a worst-case scenario.
Let's just get it out of the way.
Considering the coronavirus' wide-ranging impact around the globe, and concern about a second wave of the virus possibly arriving later in the fall, it seems well within the realm of possibility that the Nebraska football team could play in a mostly empty Memorial Stadium in 2020.
Husker athletic director Bill Moos has pondered that notion.
"There's always a possibility of that," he told the Journal Star on Friday. "I think it's more likely the season will be shortened, and (the start) pushed back to the end of September, than having no fans at all. But who can say? We're competing with a virus, and we really don't know when it'll be over and when everybody will be comfortable.
"We have to have a lot of different options and scenarios that really are contingent on where COVID-19 is going late in the summer and on into the fall."
For instance, Moos said, he can't say for certain that Nebraska will play all — or even any — of its nonconference games. Nebraska is scheduled to begin the season Sept. 5 against Big Ten opponent Purdue, then play three straight non-conference games the following three Saturdays in Lincoln: against Central Michigan, South Dakota State and Cincinnati.
"We want to play those teams, but there could be a 12-game season, there could be 10 games, nine games," he said. "We could start the season in October. We could be playing more conference games, fewer conference games. The conference has done a very good job in all of our conversations of looking at all these scenarios. But there obviously have been no decisions."
Moos said he would like to see hard-and-fast scheduling decisions made by the end of June. Along those lines, he said, the ability to bring football players to campus beginning June 1 — a development that was finalized Friday — was a critical first step.
Meanwhile, Moos and other athletic directors will continue to assess the crowd question. How many fans will be allowed in stadiums? Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith told reporters earlier this week that his athletic department has run several social distancing models to consider having fans in the stands at games this fall, and Ohio Stadium, with a normal capacity of more than 100,000, could hold a crowd closer to 20,000-22,000 fans and up to 40,000-50,000 "if guidelines are relaxed."
"We're way down the road in assessing that aspect, too," said Moos, forever mindful of Nebraska's 375-game sellout streak. "To me, if all we can have is 40,000 people in the stands, and 40,000 show up, then we've preserved the sellout streak."
Let's wrap up this discussion by pondering the notion of a full Memorial Stadium on Sept. 5. How likely is that?
"Let me just say this," Moos said. "In wrapping up my third year here as athletic director, I fully understand and appreciate and am so grateful for our passionate fan base. If it was permissible, I wouldn't doubt that we would fill up the place. The spirit of Nebraskans and their passion for our university and for the program, I could see people saying, 'Hey, I haven't missed a game in four decades, and I'm not going to start now. Give me the mask! Let's go!'"
Moos, though, recognizes local restrictions could come into play.
"I'm of the belief that if the state says we're good to go, if it's permissible within our locale, let these fans come enjoy the Huskers and major college football," he said. "They're adults. If they're worried about the prospect of getting this virus, that can be a personal decision."

In the latest installment of our ongoing symposium with Austin City Limits Executive Producer Terry Lickona, KUTX host Jody Denberg reconnects with Terry to talk recent tapings, tease upcoming tapings, and chat about the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame awards ceremony on October 26. Get your TIX HERE!
Read the interview below
Jody: About once a month I am lucky enough to touch base with the executive producer of the Austin City Limits television program, Terry Lickona. How are you tonight, sir?
Terry: Doing great. This is our monthly chat.
Jody: It is. And I always look forward to meeting you. And I got to wear a jacket to work today. And you have a flannel shirt.
Terry: I know. What a great feeling.
Jody: It feels wonderful. And the festival that has been going on in our town since 2002, that takes your television program name the “Austin City Limits Music Festival,” just wrapped up what I think is their 22nd year. Could you have ever envisioned when they came to you with this proposition for a festival that here would be two decades later talking about it?
Terry: Well, when we talked with the original three back in the day about this idea of starting a music festival, they really wanted to use our name because it gave them instead a credibility to be able to not only attract the kind of artists that they wanted, but also to attract the kind of fans that knew what Austin City Limits was all about. So it’s worked out for everybody. It’s hard to believe, Jody, that the festival is almost half as old as ACL, the TV show, has been around.
Jody: And it’s also hard to believe that you just concluded your 49th season, which means season five is in the wings. But let’s talk about the wrap up of season 49. Often you will have some of the artists who are playing the festival, taped the program if possible. That happened a couple of times this year, right?
Terry: Absolutely. We always try to grab a few of the, you know, not just the headliners, but other artists who are playing at the fest. So this year we had Brittney Spencer, a very talented, young, country oriented Americana artist who is currently living in Nashville. Then we had the legendary Alanis Morissette, who had never done our show before. And man, she is in prime form the way her voice is still a powerhouse. I mean, and she was going back and forth on that stage nonstop. So it was a beautiful show in itself. And then we had the Foo Fighters who really have become friends and part of the ACL family. This is their third time to perform on the show. And of course, they were headliners at the festival. Then to cap it all off and end our 49th season, Bonnie Raitt couldn’t have been better. What a great way and great feeling, too, to end the season. And that was just last night. And, you know, the sound of Bonnie’s voice and those songs still resonate in my head as we speak. She’s such a beautiful soul. Everybody knows that. To watch her and to hear her, frankly, I think Bonnie Raitt is in her prime right now and she’s having the time of her life.
That’s that’s the thing about these people, Jody, about Bonnie and about Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters. They are really having fun out there, you know? Yeah, they could complain about the rigors of being on the road and so forth. But they both talked about how lucky they are to be able to do what they do and how good they feel about it. This was Bonnie’s last show of the current tour and now she’s off basically until March. She said she was sad that she really didn’t want to go home. She’s going to miss her crew. She was going to miss meeting people on the road. You know, often I hear the opposite from younger people who once they get out there, they realize it’s a lot of work sometimes, you know, and they don’t like it all of the time.
Jody: You know, after you do a taping and if I haven’t been able to attend like a Bonnie Raitt or a Foo Fighters, I go to ACL on TVGuide.com because you generously will list the setlist that the artists do on the program. I often wonder, okay, Foo Fighters, for instance, or Bonnie Raitt, who did play The Moody Theater the night before? For the general public, do they alter their shows, especially when they have current releases? They might want to focus on more for the television audience. Do they alter their setlists from the festival to what you do?
Terry: Absolutely. It’s a fascinating process to watch and see how their minds work. If you saw the Foos at the festival and then they’re taping with us or Bonnie the night before at ACL Live and then her taping the next night, very, very different shows. In both cases, the Foos and Bonnie asked, “Could you get us a list of every song we’ve performed in the past on Austin City Limits?” because they didn’t want to repeat the same songs. Even in Bonnie’s case. Well, that was in 1984, the first time she might have performed Fill In the Blank, but they wanted to showcase some of their newer material. And in the case of both Foos with their album this year and Bonnie’s most recent, which of course scored so well at the Grammys this year, they wanted to to capture those new songs that had never perhaps been captured for television before and for posterity. So they would customize their setlists, both Foos and Bonnie, just for our taping. It’s hard because they’re used to performing essentially the same setlist night after night after night on the road. And so to wrap their heads around this whole idea of, well, we’re going to pull some deep cuts from an album from way back and kind of find the right place to put that and still think in terms of what makes for the best flow. Especially being mindful too that, well, the audience is going to expect certain mix of golden oldies and classic songs from each of them. But when all was said and done, they both did beautiful shows, both very different from what they normally do, which makes it even that much more special.
Jody: Well, it’s not a spoiler alert. If I tell you ahead of time that if you go to ACL on TVGuide.com you can see the setlist that the artists performed for the television taping. If you want to be surprised when those programs air, just hold off and wait. We’ll circle back to Bonnie in a moment, but here we go. So you’ve wrapped up season 49. I’m sure the wheels are turning for the 50th season, but you have one other thing that’s turned out to be really the conclusion of every season, or it could be looked at as the beginning of the next one, which is the Austin City Limits Music Hall of Fame induction. So please tell me about that show.
Terry: I think I can tell you pretty much everything about it including the complete lineup. We created the ACL Hall of Fame on the occasion of our 40th anniversary. That was that was part of the idea of how to celebrate 40 and now here we are about to hit 50. But, this is our ninth annual Hall of Fame show. We of course, weren’t able to do one during COVID times. This year we are inducting Trisha Yearwood, one of the first major female country artists successful for her time, who appeared on our show, and the late great John Prine, who of course we still miss every day and whose songs still continued to resonate. And as a footnote to that, when John died in 2020, our original plan was to induct him into the Hall of Fame. At the time, in fact, I had seen John at the Grammys literally just weeks before he died, and he was very excited about coming here and and letting us honor and celebrate him. He had done the show eight times over the years. Back then when he had passed and there were so many other tributes to him, we decided to put that idea on hold, but this year seemed like the right time to do it so we are inducting John into the ACL Hall of Fame. His beautiful wife, Fiona, and his three sons are going to be here to accept on his behalf.
Also in the lineup with Trisha Yearwood is Don Henley, who has done a duet or two with Trisha over the years, is coming to do her induction speech and to perform with her. We have Ronnie Dunn from Brooks and Dunn, Jody Mussina, Brandy Clark, who’s out on a bit of a hot streak herself right now, and the Brothers Osborne. So they’ll be performing with or in honor of Trisha Yearwood. And then for John, we have Ethan Hawke, well-known actor and Austin native, who’s going to be doing the induction speech for John and then to mix things up a little bit from maybe the traditional artists who have done John Prine tributes in the past, we have Kurt Vile, Tyler Childers, Valerie June, Allison Russell and Nathaniel Rateliff, which I think is a really cool mix of people to come and do John Prine songs.
Jody: You just blew my mind with the list of John Prine inductors.
Terry: All are going to do a finale of one of John’s classic songs at the end of the night too.
Jody: What’s the date on the Hall of Fame?
Terry: Well, the date is October 26th, and there are still a limited number of tickets available to the public. So, you know, this is also a fundraiser for Austin PBS. And we’re quite familiar with fundraisers in public media. So if you’re interested in getting some tickets for the show, just go to our website at ACLTV.com and check it out. We’d love to see you out that night.
Jody: One week from this Thursday, the ACL Hall of Fame induction. I mean, Trisha Yearwood is married to Garth Brooks. I’m just wondering if there’e any vibe as to whether Mr. Brooks will be attending?
Terry: We don’t know, but it seems hard to imagine he’d pass up an opportunity to come and celebrate his his wife. But we will leave that up to those two to figure out.
Jody: Yes and he’s such a gracious man. He has done the program before in the Chris Gaines guise at one point. He’s also a great supporter of public media, so either way, it’s going to be wonderful. And, I remember that was one of my first ACL Hall of Fame induction shows that I went to and respectfully, they all start to blur together for me because I go to all of them. You know, I have a beer or two. I have a good time. So I think I saw Bonnie inducted and then I also think she did some inducting over the years.
Terry: Yes, she was there to help us honor B.B. King, but we also did indeed induct and celebrate Bonnie herself in 2016. But, you know, you’re right. It is kind of a blur when it comes to who was inducted and when.
Jody: It’s a happy blur.
Terry: And we are recording the entire event. Of course, why wouldn’t we? It’s going to air as a special episode of ACL in early January.
Jody: So John Prine, Trisha Yearwood, both being honored this year, a week from Thursday, October 26th. Limited tickets remain at ACLTV.com, Don Henley to Tyler Childers and many stops in between. Incredible. When I looked at Bonnie’s setlist before I read the copy preceding it, I was going. Well, she’s kind of got to do Angel from Montgomery for you guys, even though she’s probably done it most of the times she’s appeared on the show, which is a song that John Prine wrote. Was there some discussion with Bonnie like, ‘Hey, you have done this before?’ Or did she say, ‘Hey, I’ve done this before, Should I do it again?’ Or all of that?
Terry: As a matter of fact, because as I said, she wanted to do some of the newer songs and not so much songs she had already done on ACL in the past. So that was not originally on her setlist. But, you know, once we explained to her that we were indeed inducting John in the Hall of Fame and that the episode will air literally just a couple of weeks before Bonnie’s own episode in January that it would be great timing if she could do that song for John sort of as a follow up to the Hall of Fame show honoring him. So she totally got it as to why that made sense and yes, indeed, she did do the song as part of her set on Sunday night.
Jody: Terry, I wish you all the best for the ACL Hall of Fame induction a week from Thursday, ACLTV.com for more info. I wish you all the best in your cogitation as you approach the big Five-O show and which way you decide to go with that. I know it will be many different ways.
Terry: Oh, the wheels indeed are turning. In fact, I’m not going to tell you or anybody, but we have or have already basically bought our first show for the 50th anniversary season. Several others are in the works too. Well, stay tuned, as they say.
Jody: I will ask you every time you come in the next few months when you’re ready to divulge that information. My guest today and every month, Terry Lickona, executive producer for Austin City Limits Television. Thank you, Terry.
Terry: Thank you Jody.

Logitech has announced that it’s upping production of webcams, and that it will be shipping many more of the devices hopefully as soon as four weeks’ time.
As you’ve likely noticed, with a lot of people now working from home due to coronavirus lockdowns taking place in many countries, the demand for webcams has gone through the roof, with many popular models sold out entirely (according to analyst firm NPD, sales of webcams in the US have spiked by 179%).
So it will be welcome news to hear that Logitech is upping its game, with the manufacturer telling Tom’s Hardware that it has “aggressively increased production to focus on more quantities of webcams”.
Logitech also asserted that it has ‘every confidence’ that it can meet demand within the next four to six weeks. In other words, we should see stock levels increasing in May, which is better than the forecasts from some retailers right now (B&H in the US is currently pointing to June for better availability).
Scouring for stock
Of course, it is still possible to buy a Logitech webcam right now, as there is a bit of inventory still kicking around out there which hasn’t been bought up yet, although you may struggle to find it.
Which is exactly why we’ve crafted a handy where to buy a webcam guide that highlights the retailers still carrying stock of all webcams (not just Logitech, of course).
Logitech models, though, are looking very thin on the ground to be honest, but you can still pick them up on the likes of Newegg (via third-party sellers – albeit shipping from China in some cases) or eBay.
If you’re wondering why there has been such a big surge in demand for webcams, considering that almost every laptop has one built-in, that may well be true – but these are often cheap or lower-end models which don’t offer much in the way of video quality.
A dedicated webcam for your PC can offer far better video quality, particularly for the likes of business dealings, where this could well be an important factor in terms of looking professional.
And if you’re interested in knowing exactly what the top models are if you want high-quality video, or indeed the likes of support for 4K resolution, check out our full roundup of the best webcams of 2020.

Author: Roberto Bolaño

Three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman – these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.
In the words of The Washington Post, “With 2666, Bolaño joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentieth-century novel, those like Proust, Musil, Joyce, Gaddis, Pynchon, Fuentes, and Vollmann, who push the novel far past its conventional size and scope to encompass an entire era, deploying encyclopedic knowledge and stylistic verve to offer a grand if sometimes idiosyncratic, summation of their vulture and the novelist’s place in it. Bolaño has joined the immortals.
Title: Numero Zero

Publishing Date: 2016
No. of Pages: 191
1945, Lake Como. Mussolini and his mistress are captured and shot by local partisans. The precise circumstances of Il Duce’s death remain controversial.
1992, Milan. Colonna, a depressed hack writer, is offered a fee he can’t resist to ghostwrite a book. His subject: a fledgling newspaper, which happens to be financed by a powerful media magnate. As Colonna gets to know the team, he learns of the editor’s paranoid theory that Mussolini’s corpse was a body double and part of a wider Fascist plot. It’s the scoop the newspaper desperately needs. The evidence? He’s working on it.
It’s all there: media hoaxes, mafiosi, the CIA, the Pentagon, blackmail, love, gossip, and murder. A clash of forces that have shaped Italy since World War II – from Mussolini to Berlusconi. Numero Zero is the work of a master storyteller.

Kali and Ponna’s efforts to conceive a child have been in vain. Hounded by the taunts and insinuations of others, all their hopes come to converge on the chariot festival in the temple of Maadhorubaagan, the half-female god. Everything hinges on the one night when rules are relaxed and consensual union between any man and woman is sanctioned. This night could end the couple’s suffering and humiliation. But it will also put their marriage to the ultimate test.

In this extraordinary adventure by Brazil’s foremost novelist, the irrepressible Dona Flor is happy with her new husband, who is kind, considerate, a perfect gentleman. Yet, she has to admit she misses his roguish, passionate predecessor, who expired from his amorous exertions. So, in this land of many gods and occasional miracles, Flor approaches the divine Exu with her dilemma… and before she knows it, she has all any woman could possibly want: two husbands – one living, one dead – each consummately skilled in his own way in the infinite art of love.
Title: Three Elegies for Kosovo

Translator (from Albanian): Peter Constantine
Publisher: The Harvill Press
Publishing Date: 2000
No. of Pages: 87
A quarrel that has simmered for six centuries, stemming from a battle that changed the course of history.
28 June 1389, the Field of the Blackbirds. The Christian army – made up of Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians and Romanians – confronts an Ottoman army led by Sultan Mourad. In ten hours the battle is over, and the Muslims possess the field; an outcome that has haunted the vanquished ever since. These legends of betrayal and the symbols of defeat have continued to define the national identities of each race.
28 June 1989, the Serb leader Slobodan Milosevic launches his campaign for a fresh massacre of the Albanians, the majority population of Kosovo.
In three short narratives, Kadare evokes that first defining moment in European history, identifying how the agony of the tiny population at the close of the twentieth century is a symptom of the sickness that European civilisation has carried in its bloodstream for six hundred years.

A fourth-generation German-American now living in easy circumstances on Cape Cod (and smoking too much), who, as an American infantry scout hors de combat, as a prisoner of war, witnessed the fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, “the Florence of the Elbe,” a long time ago, and survived to tell the tale. This is a novel somewhat in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner of tales of the Planet Tralfamadore, where the flying saucers come from. Peace.

Publishing Date: May 2018
No. of Pages: 385
Reclusive Hollywood icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant to write her story, no one is more astounded than Monique herself.
Determined to use this opportunity to jump-start her career, Monique listens in fascination. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to leaving show business in the ’80s – and of course, the seven husbands along the way – Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and great forbidden love. But as Evelyn’s story nears its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.
Written with Reid’s signature talent for creating “complex, likable characters” (Real Simple), this is a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of Old Hollywood into the sobering realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means – and what it costs – to face the truth.

Aminah lives an idyllic life until she is brutally separated from her home and forced on a journey that turns her from a daydreamer into a resilient woman. Wurche, the willful daughter of a chief, is desperate to play an important role in her father’s court. Their lives converge as infighting among Wurche’s people threatens the region, during the height of the slave trade at the end of the nineteenth century.
Through the story of these remarkably strong women who challenged the expectations placed on them by society, The Hundred Wells of Salaga offers an intimate, authentic look at what it was like to live and think in Africa before the colonial era. At once heartbreaking and inspiring, this novel is essential for those who loved Homegoing and Things Fall Apart.

The £46bn Northern Local Government Pension Scheme (NLGPS) has become the latest major pension scheme to sign up to the Make My Money Matter (MMMM) pledge as part of its commitment to sustainable investment.
NLGPS’ collaboration with MMMM, the pressure group set up by film director and Red Nose Day founder Richard Curtis, is part of the pool’s ambition to invest 100 per cent of assets in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change, and help members understand the importance of knowing where their pensions are invested. This includes meeting the Paris Agreement to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and exploring the feasibility of a 2030 target in line with the IPCC’s 1.5-degree pathway.
NLGPS Chair Cllr Ged Cooney says: “Collaboration is critical in driving positive change. NLGPS’s partnership with Make My Money Matter confirms our commitment to sustainable investment. We are confident through our work with other likeminded investors and organisations, that a just transition to a zero-carbon economy is completely achievable.”
Richard Curtis, co-founder, Make My Money Matter says: “It’s exciting to see the Northern LGPS, one of Britain’s largest public pension funds working to tackle the climate emergency, commit to partnering with Make My Money Matter to push this vital agenda forward. Combined with Nest, Aviva, BT and South Yorkshire, that’s £152bn saving to create a future we all want to retire into. We’re facing an existential challenge – it’s time for all UK pension funds to make money matter and commit to halving their emissions by 2030 and going Net Zero by 2050.”

Today was another weird day in the world of cruise law. Sitting in my office I watched CNN coverage of the bombing in Boston on my big screen TV’s most of the day while also following the travel industry’s internet coverage of the unveiling of images of Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas (as well as filing a few lawsuits against my favorite cruise line).
It was a strange contrast watching the somber coverage of the deadly Boston bombing with the gushing praise by travel agents and cruise fans of artist-drawings of a silly looking, gigantic but-not-yet-built-cruise ship which touts all types of frivolous contraptions.
I didn’t see any photos or video of larger and better equipped medical facilities to take care of the residents and guests of this gigantic floating city, or police substations for this sometimes dangerous maritime community, or helicopters to medevac ill guests and crew to safety or to assist in rescuing overboard passengers, or top notch security systems to keep the terrorists at bay.
The cruise ship has not been built yet (it is scheduled to come on line in the fall of 2014) but that did not stop the cruise line CEO and cruise president from showing digital images and video of all types of weird and futuristic things.
One of the first images I saw on Twitter was a photo taken by the popular @CruiseGuy of Royal Caribbean CEO Richard Fain arriving at the Quantum of the Seas presentation in a bumper car with a Royal Caribbean logo painted on the top. You guessed it – Royal Caribbean will offer the first cruise ship with a bumper car rink! Hundreds of drunk passengers without helmets smashing into each other on the high seas! That should keep the defense lawyers at the cruise line busy for a decade.
CEO Fain seems like a good sport. Years ago he was photographed riding on the carousel on the new Oasis of the Seas and he surfed a FlowRider when the Independence of the Sea debuted a while back. So why not ride a bumper car which he could smash into President Goldstein on stage?
A big hit seemed to be the "virtual balcony" for the dark, interior cabins for those passengers who can’t afford the real thing. Hhmmhh . . . a virtual view. Sounds depressing to me. Every time I look out at my virtual view I realize that I can’t afford a real view, like from the Royal Loft. But the real question is who will be the first lawyer to file suit when a tipsy passenger breaks his nose smashing into the wall after forgetting its just a virtual balcony? It won’t be me, but trust me it will happen. How many broken noses will it take before the virtual balcony doors have virtual warning signs?
Then there is something called simulated sky-diving which the Quantum will premier. Sure sounds dangerous, but again it is "simulated" right? Looks like flying to me (broken neck anyone?). Take a look at the video here.
Royal Caribbean has been sued for injuries and death on its FlowRiders (simulated surfing), rock walls, skating rinks and zip-lines. Simulated sky-diving may continue Royal Caribbean’s tradition of having the most innovative and dangerous attractions on the seas. Let’s hope that the sky-diving injuries are just "simulated" too.
But the best "gee-wizz" attraction will be a Jetson-famiy futuristic mechanical arm that magically transports passengers high above the ocean in a glass capsule. Its called the "North Star." Kinda like a amusement park ride of the future that has never been tested on land, so-let’s do-it-on-the-high-seas!
I’m going to go ahead and file a lawsuit on that one today.
If you missed the debut, watch below for a summary!

Private-equity backed US snacks maker Kar’s Nuts will now trade under a new corporate identify to reflect the composition of its better-for-you portfolio, which also includes Second Nature Snacks and Sanders Chocolates.
Second Nature Brands will house all three of those brands as the business seeks to expand through innovation and potentially acquisitions. As part of that endeavour, the company has started work on building an innovation centre, which will be situated within Sanders Chocolates’ facility in Clinton Township, Michigan.
CEO Victor Mehren said: “These businesses have grown significantly over the last several years and we see many opportunities for expanding our new platform both through brand innovation, strategic investments and acquisitions. Under the Second Nature Brands umbrella, our market-leading brands are positioned for accelerated growth.”
He continued with respect to innovation: “We are investing over 50% of our resources towards innovation, new product development and production infrastructure, which will significantly increase our capacity in the coming years. Even as we expect our core product lines to continue to grow, we are investing heavily in exciting new products and formulations, which we expect to account for a significant amount of revenues in the coming years.”
All three brands, which are sold in US retailers and via the company's direct-to-consumer channel, are engaged in the same product areas, nuts and trail mixes, which are gluten-free and non-GMO.

In 2017, Kar's Nuts attracted interest from New York-based private-equity firm Palladium Equity Partners, which remains an investor in the business today. The following year, KNPC Holdco of Detroit, then the owner of Kar's and Second Nature, instigated a merger with Morley Candy Makers, a manufacturer of confectionery products sold under the Sanders Fine Chocolate name.
just-food has asked the company for clarification on who are now the main shareholders in the business.

It’s been a long time since I posted anything. I would be a terrible blogger!
Here are a couple of try squares I make from Walnut and Maple. The walnut was rescued from the firewood pile and the maple I got years ago to use as a fretboard for a guitar that never got built. The maple is very hard, and tough to work, but I got the blades to overlay the same line when flipped on both the top and bottom, so they are pretty square. A challenge in the joinery as the blade is less than the width of my smallest (1/4”) chisel. I messed up the joint on the larger one, thus the decorative ash backing overlay on it. A quick few of coats of shellac and now I have a couple of squares that are nice to use, feel good in the hand, are light, and accurate. One of the projects that was done completely by hand, no power tools. I even got a straight enough cut with my old worn Ryoba. A minor miracle in itself.

A Tale of Backyard Chicken Farmers
“We started out with six hens two summers ago. A hawk carried one away, so the remaining five provide just enough eggs for us,” reported Laura Miller. Laura lives on Franklin Street in Greenfield with her husband Rick and their children Isabel and Sam. Along with the children’s toys, their backyard contains moveable plastic chicken fencing, and a Taj Majal of a hen house for night roosting, sheltering and egg boxes.
As a chef Laura cooked organic and locally grown food. Inspired by the desire for fresher eggs and by Barbara Kingsolver’s book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, she suggested backyard chicken farming to Rick. “No way!” Rick responded; as a stay-at-home dad, he would be caring for the flock as well as the kids. Plus, he and Laura had grown up in the suburbs; neither had ever been near a chicken. He eventually agreed to try.
They ordered six baby hens from breeds that combine desirable traits for layers: good egg production, cold-weather hardy, double purpose (both eggs and meat). The flock now includes samples of beautiful Golden Comets, Rhode Island Reds, Black Stars, and Silver-laced Wyandottes. This fall the Millers plan to eat the hens; then they’ll buy meat birds and new layers and keep them in separate pens. Town regulations limits backyard flocks to nine and prohibits roosters. Ten or more chickens require a permit from the Board of Health. “Care is minimal,” Rick relates. “I make sure there is a constant supply of fresh water, organic layer pellets for feed, and crushed oyster shells for hard eggshells.”
Chris Peters believes that raising chickens should be part of everyone’s household, like it was 100 years ago, and he recommends it as fun for the whole family. Now the whole family is enjoying the addition of six chickens and a handsome chicken coop behind their home on Hastings Street. Chris and Kara, and their two children Atticus and Penelope, are looking forward to enjoying the eggs, approximately 4 eggs a day.
The Peters chose Plymouth Barred Rocks for their hardiness to New England winters. Chris was imaginative in finding materials and in building the coop himself.

May is the start for my favorite time of year. Warm weather, spring cleaning, sundresses, barbecues, pitchers of icy cocktails, and lots of shared meals. The warm days are still tempered by cool nights, and the first blooms of spring have now sprung. Here’s the list of goodies and treats we’re enjoying to help us welcome the month ahead:
Yep, this should look familiar. We highlighted Leonora last month, but we can’t quit this baby. Read what we had to say last month below. This month you can expect a few quick recipes and even more cheese love from your favorite SLC cheese mongers.
If you’ve visited any of our stores recently—namely downtown—there may have been an incredibly eager cheese monger or two nearly force-feeding you a sample of this little beauty. What you’re experiencing is cheese geekiness in its more exuberant, pure form. Leonora was an all-star, staff favorite years ago at Caputo’s. We lost it for a long period. All of a sudden this winter, it was back, gracing our cases and palettes with its acidic perfection. This log of pure goat’s milk cheese from Leon, Spain, has an intense acidity in its flaky, dry interior, but balances itself with a cream line just beneath its thin rind that makes it its own best friend. Wanna guess what I like to pair with Leonora? More Leonora. If that’s an unacceptable answer, then I’d say white wine. All the white wine, to be exact. Stay tuned for musings from Evan, and make sure to come by for a taste of this cheese. It’s a knockout. But be warned, no one has ever loved Leonora more than Evan.
CHOCOLATE: Ritual Ecuador 85%
It’s true, Ritual is now local! Its lovely chocolate factory and cafe is now open minutes from the historic downtown Park City neighborhood for you noshing pleasure. Check them out the next you visit Park City, but don’t forget you can still get all of their amazing bars at each of our Caputo’s locations. We’re often not as fond of chocolate that has more than 75% cacao content (cacao really blossoms with the addition of sugar) but this 85% bar from Balao, Ecuador, has us rethinking what it means to be really dark and really good. The surprising sweetness offered by this high percentage bar is a pleasant surprise, making it both easy to eat and incredibly flavorful.
Added bonus: This high percentage bar is all cacao. It’s not a 75% bar with added cocoa butter to raise the percentage, which speaks to the true craftsmanship and artisanal element of all things Ritual. You’ll notice when trying a Ritual bar that there is an exquisite snap on your first bite and silky smooth mouthfeel, all due to long conch and attention to detail—down to the microscopic proportions. What’s more, a higher percentage of cacao, especially with brands like Ritual with no addition of cocoa butter, make this an easy choice for ice creams and semifreddo applications. Higher cacao content = deeper chocolate flavor. Milk powder and extra sugar often hinder my attempts at extremely flavorful frozen chocolate treats, but the key lies in percentage. Make your own batch of ice cream or semifreddo and see what I mean—you won’t regret it.
SAVORY: Chili Beak
For me, this is not a craving, this is a straight up addiction. I. Can’t. Stop. That said, this should be on your list for new local products, and it deserves a great deal of attention. Picture this: You’re in the middle of devouring one of your favorite entrees and realize it could really benefit from a little extra spiciness. Vinegar-based hot sauces often take over any dish they’re dashed onto, and you end up with a mouthful of acidity and a lingering, odd heat from who-knows-what-kind of pepper. Not anymore, friends, not anymore!
Chili Beak is made with four ingredients: dried Mexican chilies, sunflower oil, garlic, and Utah salt. The result is a so-sexy-smooth oil-based hot sauce that lets the chilies do the talking. You get a slowly-developing heat that is made even more addicting by good seasoning. That missing acidic component from vinegar lets even the most delicate flavors of your original dish shine while still being able to enjoy the introduction of both heat and flavor. Crazy, right? I’ll provide plenty of recipe ideas in the weeks to come, but start off with my favorites ideas—simple add ons. Give your jar a loving stir, and drizzle over your morning eggs, mix into your favorite mayonnaise or aioli, and stir into your favorite hummus. You’ll find yourself reaching for this multiple times a day, and we don’t blame you, we’re doing the very same thing.
SWEET / DRINK: Bittermilk Charred Grapefruit Tonic
Meet your new secret ingredient for the easiest and most impressive home cocktails. Fans are singing praises for Bittermilk across the country, and the full line of Bittermilk has already been highlighted in the Wall Street Journal! Joe and MariElena Raya are the owners of Gin Joint in Charleston, South Carolina, and the makers of our newest all-natural cocktail go-to. Simply mix your Bittermilk of choice with a spirit and ice. Voilà: a cocktail, and an impressive one, too. Add a garnish if you insist, but how easy does that sound? No more muddling, peeling, and hunting for a whole shipping cart full of grocery items to serve your friends a delicious libation. You just need this lovely bottle and a quick jaunt to the liquor store.
With six fantastic concoctions, there’s an option for every spirit and every soul. Whiskey fans? They’ve got a few for you. Clear liquor only? Fret not, this Charred Grapefruit Tonic works with gin, vodka, AND rum. Try them all—we have. We’re currently digging this in particular because of its multiple uses; plus, spring feels like the perfect time for a fun spin on a the classic gin & tonic. We’re big fans, and we hope you’ll join the club.
Enjoy this lovely month of May, fellow Cravers. We cannot wait to help you find these at your local Caputo’s, so don’t be shy. We’ll guide you to your craving of choice, and send you on your way with a bounty of ideas on how to prepare them. I hope you’ll adore these cravings as much as we do!

Weekly Investment Update (09/08/2023)
- Labor market: Labor markets are seeing an improved balance of labor supply and demand as highlighted by the recent payrolls report. The report likely provides the Federal Reserve with enough evidence to leave rates unchanged in September.
- Energy: Brent crude oil prices rose above $90 per barrel after key OPEC+ members announced extensions to their production cuts. To the extent the impacts of higher oil prices show up in inflation data in the coming months, the Fed could face additional pressure to maintain its higher-for-longer stance.
This Week’s Views and Positioning
Equity market sentiment hinges on the notion that the Federal Reserve has completed its rate hiking cycle. In fact, the bond market continues to price in rate cuts throughout the course of 2024. In part, this narrative has helped boost valuation multiples, which have been the primary driver of stock returns year-to-date. Below, we discuss both the labor market and energy prices, primarily due to their impact on inflation and subsequent monetary policy.
As highlighted in recent publications, equity investors are looking for additional signs of slowing growth to assuage fears of persistently high inflation — in other words, “bad news is good news.” In our view, equity investors will get their wish, and economic growth will continue to slow. This will likely begin to manifest in additional labor market weakness in the coming months. Given that the average historical lag between the trough in the fed funds rate and the trough in the unemployment rate is 23 months, additional increases in the unemployment rate could be seen sometime in the first quarter of 2024. Paradoxically, signs of further economic weakness should initially be supportive of stocks, supporting our continued overweight to the asset class. We continue to see the odds of a severe recession, in which bad news would be bad news, as relatively low.
Labor Market Remains Healthy With Labor Supply Increasing
What is happening: Labor demand has continued to cool from the elevated levels seen last year but is still healthy with nonfarm payrolls rising 187,000 in August, surpassing the consensus estimate of 170,000. Moreover, around 64% of industries in the private sector reported increases in employment in August, up from around 57% in July. Although the unemployment rate rose from 3.5% to 3.8%, the increase was primarily a result of a higher labor force participation in August. Most of the gain in the labor force this year has been through the prime-working age group, 25-54 years, with a particularly strong gain in the female workforce. As a result of continued labor supply and demand rebalancing, year-over-year average hourly earnings eased to 4.3% in August after rising 4.4% in July.
Why it matters: The report likely provides the Federal Reserve with enough evidence to leave rates unchanged in September. For equities to continue to rise, we believe that the economy must strike the balance of slowing enough to give investors confidence that monetary policy is sufficiently tight but not so much that it damages market sentiment. While a continued increase in labor supply would be well received, we believe that the recent pickup in participation rates cannot be sustained at its current pace. Prime-age labor force participation has rebounded since the initial COVID lockdowns and has now notably returned to its pre-pandemic levels given increased immigration and fewer workers citing COVID as a reason to stay out of the workforce. Bessemer’s All Equity Model Portfolio is underweight more cyclically exposed sectors of the market as we expect the Federal Reserve to attempt to meet its inflation mandate and, in turn, slow the pace of economic growth by keeping rates at high levels.
Rising Oil Prices Have the Potential to Impact the Consumer and Inflation
What is happening: Brent crude oil prices rose above $90 per barrel for the first time since November 2022 as key OPEC+ members look to maintain production curbs in an effort to support higher oil prices. With both Saudi Arabia and Russia announcing extensions to their production cuts through the end of the year, the oil market is poised to see the highest level of cuts in the last 20 years (outside of recessions). Meanwhile, global oil demand appears set to breach record levels, especially as China’s ongoing reopening contributes to oil demand growth. We note that China accounts for more than half of global oil demand.
Why it matters: Changes in crude oil prices have a passthrough effect on gasoline and petrol prices with implications for both the consumer and inflation. Higher gasoline prices can have a negative effect on consumer sentiment as they can force adjustments to consumer spending patterns. Beyond their impact on gasoline prices, higher oil prices can also have second-order effects in other categories. For example, airline ticket prices often rise alongside increases in jet fuel costs. To the extent the effects of higher oil prices appear in inflation data in the coming months, the Fed would likely be faced with additional pressure to maintain its higher-for-longer stance.
Bessemer portfolios increased exposure to energy and commodity-related companies in 2022 and have maintained energy exposure that is roughly in line with the benchmark weight this year. Structural supply issues, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and OPEC+ production cuts, combined with demand growth as China more fully reopens, are likely to contribute to an environment that is supportive of commodity prices, underscoring our rationale to maintain portfolio exposure at this time.

Back when I was a kid, way back in the stone age, Saturday was my favorite day of the week!
My sisters and I always looked forward to Saturday with unbridled anticipation. We used to turn on the television (10 inch screen) and watch the test pattern until the shows started! Cartoons, the serials, Sky King, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Zorro...the list just goes on and on! By noon we were all outside reliving and acting out the shows we just saw! By 9 PM we were worn smooth out! Tired from riding the range, chasing the bad guys, saving the universe and all the other adventures that our very active imaginations could come up with! Falling asleep was never a problem, ya know? Those were some wonderful days, remember?
I don't think that anyone could argue that back in the 50s, the western was very popular. In fact, the television shows made big stars out of a lot of cowboys and cowgirls!
Do these videos bring back some memories for you? I hope they do, and I hope that those memories are good ones!
Coffee in the kitchen this morning. It's supposed to warm up to the 70s, but that won't happen until the afternoon!
