Toronto (August 6, 2020) – The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is seeking to ban convicted securities fraudster, Dino Paolucci, who is currently serving his seven-year sentence in the U.S. for a multi-million dollar securities fraud. The former penny stock promoter has been sentenced for participating in five stock manipulation schemes in 2012 and 2013. The Canadian is now facing possible regulatory sanctions in Canada such as trading and registration bans.
The Canadian, Dino Paolucci, who is convicted for securities fraud in the U.S., is now facing possible regulatory sanctions in Canada for his multi-million dollar securities fraud, according to the OSC’s statement of allegations issued on August 4 of this year. The OSC issued a notice of hearing against the former penny stock promoter from Mississauga.
U.S. multi-million dollar securities fraud case
After pleading guilty to four counts of securities fraud, the U.S. district court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania sentenced Paolucci on December 10, 2019, to 84 months in prison and ordered him to pay US$2 million forfeiture.
The convictions stem from a series of pump-and-dump schemes in 2012 and 2013 involving five over-the-counter (OTC) companies: AGR Tools, Inc. (‘AGRT’), LiveWire Ergogenics (‘LVVV’), YaFarm Technologies (‘YFRM’), Resource Ventures (‘REVI’), and Medical Cannabis Payment Solutions (‘REFG’). The former Ontario resident participated in a scheme to manipulate the price and trading volume of the five public stocks.
According to the U.S. court documents, Paolucci and his co-schemers gained control over the companies. Then, they artificially inflated the price and trading volume of the penny stocks by creating an illusion of market interest using coordinating company press releases with promotional campaigns. Subsequently, they sold their shares into the manipulated markets and gained millions in profits for themselves.
To hinder the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from detecting the stock manipulation scheme, Paolucci and his co-schemers used offshore corporations and brokerage accounts, as well as fake corporations, intermediaries, and even fake names.
‘Paolucci tricked people into investing under false pretenses, and those victims’ losses became his ill-gotten gains,’ said Michael T. Harpster, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Philadelphia Division. ‘While investors know they’re taking a chance when buying securities, they don’t anticipate the odds being stacked against them from the get-go.’
Paolucci is currently serving his seven-year sentence in the U.S.
OSC is seeking an enforcement order
On August 5, the OSC issued a notice of hearing against Paolucci. The regulator is now seeking an enforcement order for his securities offenses. ‘Staff seek an inter-jurisdictional enforcement order reciprocating Paolucci’s conviction,’ the regulator said in its statement of allegations.
The OSC staff alleged that it would be in the public interest to make an order against the Canadian citizen. The purpose of the hearing proceeding will be to consider whether that is the case or not.
Paolucci could face regulatory sanctions by the OSC including trading and registration bans in Ontario. He has 28 days to respond to the allegations in a written hearing or 21 days to request an oral hearing instead.

Aston Villa complete pre-season campaign with 3-2 win over Malaga
Christian Benteke continued his promising pre-season form as he scored twice in Aston Villa's 3-2 victory over Malaga
Last Updated: 10/08/13 6:25pm
The Belgium international took his haul to seven goals in five games as Villa completed their pre-season schedule.
Benteke opened the scoring for Villa in the 12th minute before smashing home a penalty on the half hour after Ron Vlaar's first-half header had put Villa two up.
The La Liga side pulled back two goals with Jores Okore conceding an own goal and Sergi Darder adding a second for his side.
Villa begin their Premier League campaign at Arsenal next weekend and manager Paul Lambert will be more than happy with the form of his star striker.
Benteke showed strength and composure to hold off a challenge before evading Malaga keeper Willy Caballero and rolling the ball into the net from seven yards to give Villa an early lead.
Villa soon doubled their lead when Vlaar timed his run perfectly to meet Aleksandar Tonev's corner and beat Caballero from close range.
The Villa skipper then helped keep Malaga at bay when he forced Roque Santa Cruz to miscue his shot from a promising position.
Benteke grabbed his second after he picked himself off the turf, following Tonev's through-ball and Marcos Angeleri's trip, and fired home from the spot, sending the keeper the wrong way.
The visitors were given a lifeline when Okore diverted the ball into his own net from Bartlomiej Pawlowski's cross.
Malaga, who begin their La Liga campaign at Valencia next Saturday, improved further in the second period and Darder claimed a second goal when his effort was deflected off Karim El Ahmadi.

Yum! I've made Linzer Hearts before, but never a Torte. Looks very impressive, and reminds me of something that would have been served with Kaffee when I lived in Deutschland. It is a bit more involved than other dessert recipes might be, but not as complicated as I thought. An interesting crust, but it turned out very well. I did bake it in a tart pan and not a cake pan. That made it very easy to serve. I also had a little leftover dough that I used to make a little Nutella "Pop Tart" which was also very good.Reply

Post 14 - Thanksgiving Public Service Announcement
Date of News Release: 11/17/2011
(Ashland, Ky.) -- The Kentucky State Police in Ashland will step up enforcement during the Thanksgiving holidays in efforts to reduce the number of traffic crashes. With the holidays upon us, millions of Americans are hitting the road to visit with family and friends. The Kentucky State Police in Ashland wants every celebration to be a joyous occasion, so travelers are reminded troopers will be out in force through the Thanksgiving weekend, sending the strong message to slow down and obey the traffic laws.
While seat belt use is at a record high of 85 percent nationwide, Kentucky lags behind with an 82 percent usage rate. There were 760 total highway fatalities in Kentucky in 2010, with 598 killed in motor vehicles. Of those 598 fatalities, 62.5 percent were not wearing a seat belt.
In Kentucky last year there were 1,305 crashes over the Thanksgiving holiday, resulting in 405 injuries and nine fatalities. Of those fatalities, four were unrestrained. Locally, at Post 14 which encompasses the counties of Boyd, Carter, Greenup, and Lawrence, there were no fatalities reported during the 2010 thanksgiving period of 25 to 28 November; however, there were 5 driving under the influence arrests and four collisions. As of 17 November 2010, there were 668 statewide fatalities compared to 633 as of 17 November 2011.
Regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Research has shown that when lap and shoulder belts are used properly, the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent.
CPT Merrell Harrison, Commander of Post 14, wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday and reminds citizens to report suspicious criminal activity and erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police. Callers can remain anonymous and can call 606-928-6421 or 1-800-222-5555.

Celebrities often wear expensive jewelry. It’s a way to show off their lifestyle and encourage others to do the same. As influencers, although they are often sponsored by jewelers, they don’t shy away from buying their own.
In this article, we’ll discuss 20 celebrities that dazzled the red carpet with their expensive jewelry.
The 2013 Primetime Emmys red carpet was enlightened with Sofia Vergara and her dazzling jewelry worth $7 million. The “Modern Family” actress wore some similarly stunning rings in addition to these stunning ruby, sapphire, and Colombian emerald earrings.
Sofia Vergara also added some additional glitz with two stunning 21-carat Asscher-cut diamond bands on her left hand and a complementing 40-carat Colombian emerald-and-cut diamond ring.
Celebrities often showcase their glitziest jewelry at the Annual Met Gala, as Gigi Hadid did during the event in 2021. A straightforward yet distinctive diamond necklace costing a whopping $12 million was the supermodel’s addition to her Prada outfit.
A magnificent necklace featuring a 128.54-carat yellow diamond was worn by Lady Gaga at the 2019 Academy Awards. This one-of-a-kind item is worth $30 million at retail. Audrey Hepburn previously wore this iconic diamond when promoting the classic movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
Zendaya, the star of “Euphoria,” wore a vivid yellow Valentino gown to the 2021 Oscars, accessorizing it with 183.33 carats of stunning yellow and white diamonds, and did she look divine!
The focal point of her ensemble? Two $6 million plus diamond collars with a detachable brooch.
When Angelina Jolie wore these exquisite emerald drop studs at the 2009 Academy Awards, she co-founded an emerald trend. The jaw-dropping earrings are reported to have cost $2.5 million.
At the 2013 Academy Awards, Charlize Theron doubled the number of her diamond tennis bracelets. The cost of these stacks of diamond cuffs was $4.5 million.
On the red carpet of the 2014 Academy Awards, Charlize Theron put out a statement by wearing an expensive necklace. On Hollywood’s greatest night, she wore a striking set with a 21-carat emerald-cut diamond along with additional gems on her ears for a total of $15.8 million in jewelry.
The next gem on our list was inspired by The Heart of the Ocean! Gloria Stewart wore a handcrafted piece made to resemble the well-known sparkler from the movie “Titanic” as she arrived at the 1998 Academy Awards. The stunning necklace, which included a 15-carat blue diamond, was pegged at $20 million in value.
One of the most spectacular exhibitions of a woman covered in diamonds occurred at the Academy Awards in 2008, despite the fact that it wasn’t the most expensive. Nicole Kidman wore a piece that year that had over 7,500 diamonds and was believed to be worth $7 million.
According to reports, almost 6,000 hours were spent on the piece of art, which led to a piece of legendary jewelry that also dazzled from behind.
Madonna showed up to an afterparty after singing at the 1991 Academy Awards dressed as another famous blonde, Marilyn Monroe. The celebrity wore a diamond cluster necklace valued at $20 million.
Salma Hayek opted to add a bit more bling to her earlobes despite the fact that her Gucci dress had plenty of it as she attended the 2018 Academy Awards. The actress decided to finish her opulent ensemble that year with her $4.2 million diamond danglers.
She also arrived at the 2018 Golden Globes wearing more than $5 million worth of diamond jewelry. The 81.95-carat yellow gold diamond Necklace, an 11.52-carat diamond ring, and 11.92-carat yellow diamond earrings were the center of attraction among the accessories she wore.
Similar diamond rings are available for you to buy, but you don’t need to spend millions to get one. If you’re tight on budget, lab grown diamonds can be great alternatives.
Naomi Campbell chose to wear a ritzy $6.6 million diamond necklace that matched the crystal embellishments on her face at the 2022 Met Gala. Her features were enhanced by the embellishments she chose to wear on her face.
Jennifer Lopez’s $3 million diamond cluster earrings made Golden Globes more cheerful. She wore these sparkling diamond pieces, where she also wore $2 million worth of diamond rings, a diamond bracelet on her wrist, and a diamond pin in her hair.
Jennifer Lopez is no stranger to donning some of the most expensive jewelry available. She also wowed with a 73.55-carat diamond pendant and 13.77-carat diamond studs at the 2020 SAG Awards. The jewelry she wore that night cost her a whopping $9 million!
On the night of the 2014 Academy Awards, Cate Blanchett chose diamond jewelry. Her jewelry set cost $18 million and consisted of opal earrings, a cuff bracelet, and a pear-shaped diamond ring. Check Adina Eden for stylish, quality yet affordable bracelets that you can wear on any occasion.
Carrie Underwood wore a $31 million necklace to the 2013 Grammy Awards. The stunning piece had 381 carats of round, oval, pear, and marquis white diamonds. She carried the massive piece quite elegantly.
Lady Gaga enjoys wearing lovely, expensive jewelry. The celebrity arrived at the 2019 Golden Globes wearing a $5 million necklace with a 20-carat pear-shaped center jewel and 300 more diamonds.

At the 2018 Academy Awards, Helen Mirren wore a $3.8 million collection of sapphire and diamond jewelry. The renowned actress chose stunning earrings and a matching cushion-cut necklace to dazzle that evening.

How Much Water Should We Drink in a Day?
Our body is about 50% water, give or take. Every day, we drink water to maintain normal body temperature, lubricate our joints, and get rid of waste through urination, sweat and bowel movements.
Not getting enough water can lead to dehydration, which can cause muscle weakness and cramping, a lack of coordination, and an increased risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. In fact, water is so important that a person couldn’t survive more than five days without it.
But do you know how much water should we drink in a day?
As with most things, this depends on the individual. Many factors, both internal and external, can affect your consumption of water.
Health authorities commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals about 2 liters, or half a gallon. This is called the 8*8 rule and is very easy to remember.
However, your need for water may increase:
- In warm or hot weather
- With vigorous physical activity, such as exercise or working in the yard
- During bouts of illness, especially if you have a fever, are vomiting, having diarrhea or coughing
Maintaining an appropriate intake of water is vital to our keep our body functioning, so don’t forget to do it even if you’re busy with work.
Note: The safety of water also matters. For your and your family’s health, I recommend you install Mountain Flow water filters in your refrigerator. Founded in 2017, MF has been dedicated to providing safe and clean water to consumers.

A Modernist’s Country Home, created by architects Márcio Kogan and Lair Reis of studio mk27, was designed specifically for Fazenda Catuçaba.
The house establishes strong relationships with the local climate which includes winds, rain and sun in abundance most of the year. The presence of these natural elements is what allows the house to be self-sustainable, to generate its own energy and thus to be autonomous. This autonomy, combined with designs that promote the intelligent use of resources, is the backbone of the project.
The integration of the house in its natural setting, the comfort and the simplicity of the living spaces, and the abundance of natural beauty all come together to create an integrated living experience that is truly inspiring.
The Modernist’s Country Home received an honorable mention in the category of Residential Projects at the World Architecture Festival in 2013, in Singapore.
Studio mk27, located in the chaotic city of São Paulo, was founded in the early 80s by architect Marcio Kogan, and today consists of 28 architects as well as several collaborators worldwide. The team of architects, great admirers of the Brazilian modernist generation, seeks to fulfill the difficult task of rethinking and giving continuity to this iconic architectural movement. The projects of studio mk27 are valued for their formal simplicity, always working with special attention to detail and finishing.
Kogan is an honorary member of AIA (American Institute of Architects), professor at Escola da Cidade, and was considered by Época magazine one of the 100 most influential people in Brazil, and is part of the list “The Wallpaper* 150 Famous for 15 Years”. He leads a team of architects, who at large, have been working with him for over a decade. Since 2001, when he started a co-creation and cooperative work system at the office, studio mk27 has won over 200 national and international awards, such as: IAB (Institute of BrazilianArchitects), São Paulo Architecture Biennale, WAF, Architectural Review, Dedalo Minosse, Record House, LEAF, D&AD, Spark, Barbara Cappochin, Iconic, AZ and Wallpaper Design Award.
The team at studio mk27 has spoken at the Royal Academy of Arts, AIA, Société Française Des Architectes, Clubovka, FAU-USP e Mack universities, FAAP, Polytechnic of Milan and Valencia, SouthFlorida, Rice, Texas, among others. In 2012 studio mk27 represented Brazil at the Venice Biennale which meant some extra kilos for the group of 10 architects who went for a gondola ride.
Two adobe walls, made from the sites earth, define the area of construction. They direct the visitor to the entrance of the house, which is accessed via a side terrace, while simultaneously linking the house to the natural landscape.
In front of the terrace is the long deck - a partially covered platform with a north-facing view of the vast and beautiful landscape.
Between of the adobe walls lies the structure site-specifically designed as The Modernist’s Country Home, which is made of laminated, glued, FSC certified wood, all pre-fabricated.
This means that construction in this rugged landscape is reduced to assembly-work only.
The pillars and the beams that extend from the side terrace through the glass-enclosed areas are of solid wood which create the structure for the rooms and the bathrooms.
At the edge of the dining room, recessed in one of the glass-enclosed spaces, is a compact kitchen, and at the other end of the house, where the hallway ends, there is a small office next to the master suite.
The floors of the outdoor areas of the house - the covered terrace and side deck - are made of solid wood, while the floors of the rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms indoors are made from ceramic bricks.
Window frames host double-glazed panes of glass, which answer both the needs for temperature control and energy efficiency as determined by a team of professionals responsible for the design of these features.
The walls of the bedrooms and bathrooms are wooden frames equipped with thermal acoustic insulation made from fibers of PET recycled plastic bottles, a recycled material that is produced domestically.
The North façade, which catches the most sunlight, has sliding panels of thin eucalyptus that act as filters for light and heat. The individual rooms are heated by traditional firewood stoves, as they were in traditional country homes, with additional stoves on the covered terrace and in the main kitchen.
The Modernist’s Country Home is considered a reference house in Brazil by the Green Building Council (GBC). It is a pilot project for the first system of certification in Brazil for residential buildings developed using the LEED standards (American Green-Building standards used worldwide).
In order to be in accordance with the requirements of the GBC, all of the materials used in the construction of the house are sustainable. For Example:
The wood is brought from the Amazon, by a company called Amata that specializes in managing logging projects with the lowest possible amount of impact on the natural environment.
The house produces its own energy using solar and photovoltaic panels, which are installed on roof, as well as from a small wind turbine, which all generate electricity and store it in the batteries kept underneath the house.

20th Century Fox has released two new trailers for its upcoming Fantastic Four reboot. The first, which was shown off at Comic-Con, gives us a longer look at Dr. Doom, who has a wonderfully gravelly voice that’s ominous and frightening. We also get a much more thorough look at the individual Fantastic Four members—and we get to hear The Thing speak, which is a little jarring and unexpected.
This is a complete origin story, which you can get the basis for in the two trailers. After traveling to another universe, their physical forms are altered in amazing ways. But they soon realize that they need to harness their new powers for good in order to save humanity from the end of the world, and the beginning of Dr. Doom’s. The trailers are essentially the same, with some added emphasis on Reed Richards as a young wizkid scientist.
The release date for Fantastic Four is fast approaching. Although the first two movies were relatively successful at the box office, they were never looked upon by critics or fans in a favorable light. This is the chance to atone for that, while also opening up the possibility for future Fantastic Four movies.
Fantastic Four is being directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle) and stars Miles Teller (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara (The Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan (The Human Torch) and Jamie Bell (The Thing). It comes out on Aug. 7, 2015.

Newell Turner has been consumed by an obsession that he has finally addressed in his new book, Mexican: A Journey Through Design (Vendome). As the veteran magazine editor and publisher (who is still in the editorial trenches) admits, “I have devoted myself to American interior design, always trying to answer the question, What is American style?” While he largely defined that style for himself and the millions of readers of the magazines he edited, he has been asking himself yet another question. What actually is Mexican style?”
He has been traveling to Mexico since the early 1990s, increasingly obsessed with its aesthetics, architecture, interior design, history, and very ethos. His subsequent examination of and immersion in all things Mexican is so detailed that upon sitting in a Maya hammock, his feet dangling from what he considers a piece of furniture, he had an epiphany: “This was just the beginning of my understanding that, as with so many things in Mexico, beauty is rarely straightforward, symmetrical, or rigid.”
Upon buying, with his partner, a casona (a grand home) in Mérida, while spending more time in Mexico, away from the United States and its “dark, cold Northeast winters that were becoming increasingly unbearable to me,” he began to document via Instagram posts his discoveries. Turner has an uncannily keen eye for discerning patterns in nature and finding them reflected in the built environment. Through his photos (and those of others), he takes readers through all eras in Mexico—Pre-Columbian to Colonial, Art Deco (the latter evidenced by the accompanying photo showing the 1928 Casa del Pueblo in Mérida) to the present day.
Turner is obsessed with the meaning of home. “My story is a classic expat story: the combination of an escape and the search for something missing in my life.” He has found a new home in Mexico, a place so appealing that he seems to be encouraging all of us to follow.

SALT LAKE CITY - Traffic deaths decreased in Utah after the state enacted the strictest drunken driving laws in the nation five years ago, new research published Friday by a U.S. government agency shows.
The findings, which pertain to fatalities involving and not involving alcohol, provide initial validation for conservative lawmakers who passed the law over concerns from restaurant and tourism industry lobbyists.
In the study published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, researchers wrote that, in the years after Utah changed the drunken driving threshold from .08% to .05% blood-alcohol content, the number of crashes and fatalities fell even though drivers logged more miles.
"Changing the law to .05% in Utah saved lives and motivated more drivers to take steps to avoid driving impaired," said Dr. Steven Cliff, the agency's deputy administrator.
The findings mark a triumph for Utah's Republican-controlled Legislature, which voted to decrease the legal limit in 2017 over concerns that it would discourage prospective new residents and tourists.

They and other opponents argued it would be ineffective and cement Utah’s pious reputation at the expense of the growing number of visitors and residents who aren’t part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Utah, where about 60% of the population are members of the faith, has long enforced some of the nation's strictest liquor laws.
All spirits and wine are sold at state-run stores. Bartenders are required to use specialized spouts to ensure they pour specific amounts of liquor into mixed drinks. And beer can be sold in grocery stores only if its alcohol-by-volume content is less than 5%.
In response to the study, Jackson Shedelbower of the American Beverage Institute said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was presenting selective information.
"The cause-and-effect explanation from NHTSA is cherry picking data. Utah has experienced a drop in alcohol-related traffic fatalities since 2016, but so have more than thirty other states. Three other small population states enjoyed bigger declines than Utah without dropping their 0.08 (blood-alcohol content) law," he said.
A church spokesman, Doug Anderson, declined to comment on the study but reaffirmed the faith's position from 2017 when, following the passage of the policy, the church said the law "demonstrates Utah’s commitment to good public policy and to protecting people from the tragedies that come from drinking and driving."
When the state lowered the threshold for impaired driving from the nation's standard .08% blood-alcohol content, lawmakers argued it would make driving safer.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study showed that there were fewer crashes and lower alcohol involvement both after the widely publicized law passed in 2017 and after it went into effect in 2018.
In 2019, the first full year with the law in effect, there were 225 fatal crashes and 248 fatalities in Utah. Though drivers logged more miles, that was less than the 259 fatal crashes and 281 fatalities in 2016, the year before Utah changed its law.
The change meant a 150-pound (68-kilogram) man would be over the 0.05% limit after two beers, while a 120-pound (54-kilogram) woman could exceed it after a single drink, though that can be affected by a number of factors, including how much food a person has eaten, according to the American Beverage Institute, a national restaurant group.
Crash and fatality rates also fell in neighboring states but not as significantly as they did in Utah.
Crashes per mile driven fell 19.8% from 2016 to 2019 in Utah, which was much more than the 5.6% reduction rates for the entire United States.
The drunken driving arrest rate increased after the Utah law went into effect, rising from 76 to 84 arrests per 100,000 residents between the fourth quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2019.
Additionally, survey data included in the study also suggested more people who consume alcohol changed their behavior after the law went into effect.
In 2018, 1 in 8 drinkers said they made sure transportation would be available when drinking outside the home, either by a designated driver or ride-hailing service. In 2019, more than 1 in 4 people surveyed said they made sure it would be available.
The revised blood-alcohol level law also appears not to have affected tourism. Alcohol sales and overall visitor spending increased steadily from 2009 to 2019 and didn't experience a dip after the new law went into effect in 2018. The tourism industry struggled through the pandemic but is slowly rebounding, data from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute at the University of Utah show.
In response to the study, the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety group that supported the lower limit blasted the hospitality industry for what it called "fear-inducing tactics" — including an ad campaign spearheaded by the American Beverage Institute that warned prospective Utah visitors: "Come for vacation, leave on probation."
"The study outcomes provide a strong rebuttal to these baseless arguments made by opponents of lower BAC laws," Cathy Chase, the group's president, said in a statement.
The National Safety Transportation Board has since 2013 encouraged states to follow Utah's lead. Lawmakers in states including Delaware, New York, Oregon, Hawaii, California and Michigan have considered changing their laws. But apart from Utah, all states use .08% as the legal blood-alcohol limit.
"The hope is that other states will see these results and join Utah in passing legislation for .05," National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman said in a statement.
Utah Rep. Norm Thurston, the Republican who sponsored the 2017 legislation, said the vocal opposition to the law provided needed publicity that may have increased the effectiveness of the law, discouraging people from drinking and driving.
He said he’d spoken to lawmakers in about 10 other states interested in passing similar policies. Changing the threshold, he said, proved "there are things that we put into public policy that will change people’s behavior."

xxSOLDxxREVOLUTIONARY WAR PERIOD KENTUCKY RIFLE
Rev War Northampton Rifle "In The Black"
This is a fabulous Revolutionary War period Kentucky smooth rifle from the Northampton/Lehigh County school. It is in original, untouched, "in the black" condition with all of its original parts and unmolested surfaces intact and in excellent condition. It is preserved as if it was carefully put away by the Patriot who used this incredible rifle after the British surrender at Yorktown, reverently cared for over many generations by his descendants and then resurfaced during the bicentenial celebration when I acquired it from one of the most prominant Rev War and Colonial weapons collectors in the country. The brass hardware is "green" and unpolished, the full curly maple stock is unrestored and in excellent condition with its original red wash "fiddle finish" surface, and the iron barrel and hardware has aged to a mellow brown with "patinae you could eat with a spoon". I would call this rifle a "transitional" type of rifle which has nearly evolved into a full blown Northampton/Lehigh school rifle. It was constructed and finished in a workman like manner consistent with a hasty war time production schedule. It is completely unembelished by engraving or carving, but definitely functional to "take care of business" on the battle field. Its surviving condition is unsurpassed in that all of its surfaces are unmolested, no metal has been polished for the last 200 years, the full stock curly maple stock is in original red "fiddle finish" surface, and all of the wood and metal parts are complete and original. The Northampton school details which this rifle exhibits are: brass sheath type butt plate heel return, sheet brass wrap around muzzle cap with exposed forestock wood end, a beaded rear finial on the brass sideplate of the type associated with Peter Neihardt rifles, a early "Roman nose" stock profile with a stepped double arc wrist profile, and lastly the signature red fiddle finish. Early Rev War details of this rifle include: a octagon to round smooth bore barrel, a tapered and squared barrel tang, a broad flat 2" wide butt (excluding patchbox cover), very early Germanic style lock and finally an absence of a toe plate. Early lock features including: no frizzen bridle, and an internal frizzen screw. This rifle also includes its original sliding wooden patchbox cover, its original ramrod, and its original hand forged bullet worm neatly stored in the patchbox cavity. Price **SOLD**
Condition: Excellent as found. The flintlock may be an old reconversion, though you can't tell by observation.

Skeletal remains found Friday near Glynn County mowed power line right-of-way
BRUNSWICK | Someone walking in a mowed power line right-of-way found skeletal remains Friday, and Glynn County detectives are investigating, the police chief said.
The remains were found about 4 p.m. near an end of Picric Street, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said.
Picric is a short road bisected by Interstate 95, and at sunset Glynn County detectives were at the scene about 100 feet west of the beginning of the off ramp at Exit 36A of Interstate 95.
The power line is bordered on the north by scattered residences while several motel properties back up to the south side of the power line. The motels are all accessible from U.S. 341, which intersects with I-95 at Exit 36.
Glynn County Assistant Coroner Chris Stewart said the remains will be sent to a state crime lab for analysis and possible identification.
Doering said he knew of no one missing from the area in past years.
Street where they located the skeletal remains. The remains were located approximately 100 feet west of the Interstate 95 exit 36 A off ramp.
Investigator Katelyn Roberts is in charge of the investigation and anyone having any information is urged to call her at (912) 554-7802.

Playona Acandí Fauna and Flora Sanctuary
Playona Acandí Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is one of eleven new national parks in Colombia. It is the home of the Cana Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). This park is on the (Uraba Gulf) Caribbean coast of the Department of Chocó. The Playon Playona Acandí Fauna and Flora Sanctuary is a strategic area for the survival of the hawksbill and leatherback turtles, the latter considered to be the world's largest sea turtle.
With a total extension of 26,232 hectares, it is located in the Gulf of Darién on the Caribbean Coast, within the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Acandí, encompassing the beach and adjacent marine waters next to La Playona and some part of El Playón de Acandí.
This zone is considered to be one of the main nesting sites of the leatherback sea turtle. Several authors and researchers belonging to the local Afro community (GILA group) state that each year over 200 turtles reach these beaches to lay their eggs. The Darién area and, particularly, the Acandí beaches, are equally important sites for the nesting of the hawksbill turtle in the Caribbean.
The selection of the two beaches contributes directly to the protection of these two species which are critically endangered. Their migratory nature makes this area really important since all the local conservation efforts have a significant impact on the western Caribbean. Mark and recapture studies have shown that some of the females breeding in Colombia spend most of the year in Costa Rica and Mexico. In addition, this area contributes to the protection of other animals that are socially, economically and culturally important, including several shrimps and fish.
Local communities adjacent to La Playona and Playón de Acandí consider the leatherback turtle a symbol and part of the region's cultural, touristic and ecological heritage. For instance, on Easter 1993 the "Leatherback Turtle Festival" began as a strategy to create awareness of the importance of this species. The area also contributes to maintain marine biodiversity and the artisanal fisheries of Urabá and Darién. More than 80 species make up the fishing resources for the community of Acandí.
Since the beginning, the declaration of this new protected area was sought by the Afro Communities Councils of the Tolo River Basin and the Southern Coastal Zone (Cocomasur); the Acandí Seco River Basin, El Cedro and El Juancho (Cocomaseco) and the Acandí River and the Northern Coastal Zone (Cocomanorte). It was also supported, through technical collaboration by WWF Colombia during almost 10 years. In order to properly manage the planning of the Sanctuary, a coordination mechanism will be established among the three community councils and National Parks to achieve the conservation goals.

- eBay on Wednesday reported triple-digit year-over-year growth in Q4 for its sneaker business.
- The company recently introduced sneaker authentication and eliminated seller fees on certain pairs.
- An eBay VP explains how it can overtake the likes of StockX and GOAT in the sneaker resell market.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Before there was StockX or GOAT, there was eBay.
Therein lies the e-commerce website's claim as the originator of the sneaker resale game. Until other competitive resale marketplaces popped up about a decade or so ago, eBay was the go-to platform for buying and selling hyped footwear releases.
But as sneaker resale ballooned into a multi-billion dollar industry, new competitors and innovations in the authentication and marketplace space forced eBay to fall behind.
"I do think that we were, in all candor, a little bit asleep at the wheel," Jordan Sweetnam, eBay's senior vice president of North America, told Insider in an interview. "That the category like this could grow so quickly and we just, you know, sat idly by."
Now, eBay is playing catch-up in a race to reclaim its former glory. And over the past 12 months, it has made some major moves while on the comeback trail.
eBay's winning sneakers strategy
On Wednesday, eBay reported triple-digit growth year-over-year in Q4 for its sneaker business.
On a call with investors, eBay president and CEO Jamie Iannone said that "sneaker buyer behavior is a great example of the power of the eBay platform" and attributed the growth of the category to improved marketing and new programs and services launched recently.
"Sneakers was at the top of the list of categories where we were contracting [losing business] year-over-year," Sweetnam said about eBay's sneaker business up until about a year ago. "It's this incredible space; the average sneaker customer is going to shop in 10 unique categories. That's twice the average eBay customer. And yet our business was shrinking. It was crazy."
eBay made its first major move in sneakers in December 2019, when it eliminated North American seller fees for any sneaker sold at $100 or more. eBay previously charged fees of up to 10% to sellers, which deterred some sneakerheads from using the platform. StockX and GOAT both charge various fees for sellers on their platforms.
An even larger push forward came last month, when eBay launched a program for authenticating sneakers sold on its marketplace worth over $100. This landmark move essentially eliminated one of the platform's most talked about pain points for buyers and resellers: mistakenly purchasing counterfeit pairs. It also mitigated a key advantage that, for a while, had been exclusive to platforms like StockX and GOAT.
eBay's first authentication center is located in New York, but Sweetnam said there are plans to open another center on the West Coast to enable the platform to process 2 million sneakers a year and cut down on shipping times for sneakers shipped from the region.
eBay's key advantages over StockX and GOAT
Even before eBay launched authentication for sneakers in October, it was already seeing an over 50% growth in gross merchandise value (GMV), or inventory, year-to-date in the category. And while addressing seller fees and authentication helped spur eBay's growth in sneakers, there are certain key advantages that Sweetnam says had already made the platform unique.
"For us, it isn't just about only having new in-box sneakers in perfect condition," Sweetnam said. Unlike StockX, eBay facilitates the sale of new — or deadstock — pairs, as well as used ones. "The ability for us to expand this into non-new is going to be really important."
Sweetnam also highlighted the ability for eBay sellers to create a personalized brand on the platform. StockX and GOAT do not give sellers as much liberty when it comes to personalizing their stores and overall profile on the site. By comparison, eBay sellers can create their own online "stores," complete with a profile and description, which helps them establish credibility and consistency with buyers on the platform.
"I love that our sellers have identity on eBay. That makes them excited to talk about their eBay presence and drive traffic to eBay," Sweetnam said. "That's part of the fun of building a business on eBay — is your identity."
eBay also provides sellers with a detailed set of analytics via a free foundational tool called Terapeak, which equips sellers with historical sales data for categories and specific items.
"As we start to bring all those things together, I think we are just uniquely positioned to have the world's largest supply and selection in sneakers covering new and pre-owned," Sweetnam said, adding that he ultimately expects eBay to cover an even broader range of customers than StockX and GOAT.
"If you go back to how we were founded: the place to go for collectibles, the things that excite you, the things you can't find, I think we're so uniquely positioned to deliver the best experiences for buyers and sellers in these categories," he said.

Election 2016, the 2017 Edition
Ever since Donald Trump managed to win the Presidency in 2016, Democrats have been desperate to prove that somehow it didn’t really happen, or it shouldn’t have happened, or maybe it could be un-happened, or at least, by God, it won’t ever happen again. And so, in the form of congressional special elections, campaign 2016 drags on, and on and on. Because the new Trump White House tapped several Republican congressmen to serve in the administration these House seats now need to be filled through a series special elections that have been scheduled throughout the year. The Democrats are fairly fanatic to win one of these seats, snatching it away from the Republicans to embarrass President Trump (as if The Donald even does embarrassed) and prove to themselves and the world that the American electorate hasn’t really gone, to their way of thinking, completely off its rocker. So far, they’re 0-4.
The big story of this last week was the narrow defeat of Democrat John Ossoff in the special election in Georgia’s 6th congressional district to replace Republican Tom Price whom President Trump named Secretary of Health and Human Services. Enormous amounts of energy and money and political analysis went into this single race for one of four hundred thirty five seats in congress. The excitement began in April when unknown, under-qualified, thirty-year-old Democrat Jon Ossoff scored 48% of the vote in a field of seventeen candidates of both parties in the ‘jungle primary’. With 50%, Ossoff would have won the seat outright. The Democratic party was so thrilled at the surprise performance, and at the prospect of nabbing a safe Republican congressional seat in Georgia, the party and liberal interest groups from all over the country poured $30 million into Ossoff’s run-off campaign hoping to sting President Trump in a referendum on his administration so far. The Republican opponent was a seasoned fifty-five year old professional Georgia politician, Karen Handel, who, with outrageous spending of her own, managed to win with only a narrow four percent point majority of the vote.
This was treated as a major piece of news with important political ramifications. Democrats, though deflated by defeat, felt vindicated at producing so close a race in a bastion of southern conservatism. However, as thrilling and pivotal as this race was portrayed, there are a number of problems with this narrative.
First, the notion that this was a safe Republican seat. True enough, this district is in suburban Georgia outside of Atlanta and this seat has been held by Republicans since 1979. Still, suburbs have been skewing blue for years. The safeness of this seat was touted mainly because Tom Price had won re-election just last November by a 20% margin. That’s a safe Republican seat, right? Well,… While Tom Price did indeed beat Democrat Rodney Stooksbury by 62% to 38% of the vote, Tom Price was a six term incumbent while Rodney Stooksbury was a complete non-entity. This may be literally true. To say that he has no political experience is to put it mildly. There is, in fact, no definitive proof that Rodney Stooksbury exists. Whoever he is, or might be, he spent zero dollars on his campaign, has never been seen in public, and no photograph of him has yet been found. Reporters who knocked on the door of his purported home found no one in residence and neighbors when asked could not recognize the name or remember ever having met him. He is essentially, if not literally, a mythical person. In other words, the 38% of voters in the Georgia 6th district who voted against Tom Price would have voted for anyone in the world, living, dead or fictional, who was not a Republican. That is a pretty stout opposition base. A six term incumbent winning by 22% over the equivalent of Mickey Mouse does not make the Georgia 6th a safe Republican seat.
Second, why would Jon Ossoff’s 48% of the vote in the ‘jungle primary’ be all that stunning or should have been all that encouraging? It’s true that he came within 2% of winning the seat outright but he was the only Democrat in the race. Naturally the entire Democratic vote was concentrated on him. And he was a pretty extremely bad campaigner, the kind of candidate that gets less interesting the more you get to know him. Despite a $30 million war chest, he never attacked President Trump, he never attacked or much criticized his opponent, and never really stood on any issues. His schizophrenic campaign slogan was “Humble. Kind. Ready to Fight.” Huh? Sixteen Republican candidates split the remaining 52% of the primary vote and in the run off those 52% clearly combined to support Karen Handel. In fact, in this very consistent district, Donald Trump carried 52% of the vote in the November, Republicans collectively carried 52% in the ‘jungle ‘primary’, and Karen Handel won the seat with 52% of the vote. In other words, 52% of this district is Republican. Nothing changed that. Not Donald Trump, not an oddly named fictional candidate, not a jungle primary, not $50 million dollars spent on 250,000 voters (that’s right, $200 for each voter) driving them crazy with five weeks of constant invasive campaigning. Democrats still consider it a rebuke to the Trump administration that they came so close to victory in a ‘safe’ Republican district even though voter turnout was so low that Jon Ossoff actually walked away with fewer votes than Rodney Stooksbury.
Finally, the idea that this election is any more significant than a single seat in congress or that it has anything to say about the midterm elections in 2018 or the presidential election in 2020 is just ridiculous. Generators of political analysis refuse to accept that eighteen months, let alone three and a half years, are an eternity in politics. Elections have to do with moment in time. They’re about what’s been accomplished, what hasn’t, where’ s the economy, war, peace, terrorism and the inevitable October surprise. Can you imagine a congressional special election in June of 2013 leading anyone to the conclusion that Donald Trump would be elected president in 2016? Okay, other than Donald Trump? This election was about the sad state of the Democratic party at this moment in time. If Democrats want to govern, they need to get a grip on reality, learn from their errors, (save their money, for crying out loud!), come up with ideas that resonate and win a whole lot more than one seat in Congress.

Par-4 is a tumor suppressor protein with a pro-apoptotic function. Epigenetic silencing of Par-4 is seen in diverse tumors, and Par-4 knockout mice develop spontaneous tumors in various tissues. Endogenous Par-4 is essential for sensitization of cells to diverse apoptotic stimuli, whereas ectopic expression of Par-4 can selectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The cancer-specific pro-apoptotic action of Par-4 resides in its centrally located SAC domain. This review emphasizes the role of Par-4/SAC in apoptosis and tumor resistance. SAC transgenic mice display normal development and life span, and, most importantly, are resistant to spontaneous, as well as oncogene-induced, autochthonous tumors. The tumor resistant phenotype and undetectable toxicity of SAC in vivo suggests the SAC domain possesses tremendous therapeutic potential.

SUV Stuck In The Mud Leads To Arrest
The Sheriff’s Office said a deputy responded to a report of a possible stolen vehicle on a trail off Northland Drive, 10-miles south of London on Friday.
The deputy said he found a Ford Explorer stuck in the mud.
Investigators said the SUV’s owner, Jeffery Root, told the deputy the vehicle had been stuck there for several days.
The deputy said he determined the vehicle wasn’t stolen, but was stuck in the mud under the weight of 29 metal plates in the back that were suspected to have been stolen from CSX railroad tracks.
The plates are used to go between crossties and tracks for railroad tracks.
Investigators said the metal plates are valued at approximately $20 each.
The deputy said Root told him he had found the metal plates in the woods.
Jeffery Root, 36, of Corbin, was arrested and charged with Receiving Stolen Property under $10,000, and Public Intoxication.
Root was lodged in the Laurel County Detention Center in London.


There is a claim in the Italian media that Lazio are showing an interest in Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic.
The youngster may have to go out on loan again next season, or leave permanently, following his spell with Cardiff City last season.
TMW report Lazio have ‘set their sights’ on Grujic and could make a move for the Serbian this summer. It’s not reported if the Serie A side want to loan the player or purchase him outright from Liverpool.
The former Red Star Belgrade midfielder has been unable to break into Jurgen Klopp’s team since arriving in England, and last season mainly played for Liverpool’s U23s before his move to Cardiff City.
It’s unlikely next season he will get many chances under Klopp and a move seems the best option for the 22 year old, given the players who have arrived already at Anfield this summer.
Lazio and Liverpool dealt with each other last summer when Lucas Levia joined the Roman club for £5m. In 2016 Luis Alberto joined Lazio from Liverpool.
Moving to the Rome club would certainly be an interesting transfer for Grujic and an opportunity which would likely tempt the player.

“We have a responsibility to care for our neighbours including those on the other side of the world who are living in a different reality.” EYG team leader, Lauren Cooper, told The Suburban.
The ‘Me to We’ package comes with a variety of suggestive group activities divided into categories serving as a source of inspiration on tackling social justice issues globally and locally. The groups may also come up with their own ideas and action plans. With proof of their participation in raising money and awareness towards one of the chosen categories, they may attend the ‘Me to We’ day which takes place in multiple major cities and set to go forth in Toronto this year where participating groups will gather to expose their projects and share their experiences with one another.
Cooper’s Extreme Youth Group conducted a variety of functions to earn their spot at ‘Me to We’ day, including an eco-fair and videos on how to compost along with multiple self-motivated initiatives they set up before joining into the ‘Me to We’ movement.
The group also performed a 5 km “Water walk” in the spirit of experiencing what many people around the world have to go through to access drinking water on daily basis by mimicking that reality. The group carried large jugs & heavy back-packs to the riverside at Centennial park in DDO to fill up jugs with water on the riverbank and carried them back to their starting point. The “Water walk” initiative raised enough money to grant 95 people lifelong access to clean water.
In 2018, while EYG attended a ‘Me to We’ day, they discovered that they could go on a selection of hands-on trips overseas organized by the ‘Me to We’ association to help people in other countries with struggles related to poverty. At that point, EYG decided it was time for their next big step.
The group is responsible for raising the money for the trip by establishing fundraisers or selling items like ‘Me to We’ coffee products produced by developing communities and “awareness bracelets”.
EYG set their sights on the Kenya trip, scheduled for July 2021, which will cost each participant $4500.00 to attend which includes the cost of their flight, lodge, meals and safety gear. According to Cooper, EYG chose Kenya because the long-established impact of ‘Me to We’ in Kenya will allow her gang to visit hospitals, schools and clinics already put in place. “The youth will help support the projects that ‘Me to We’ will be working on when we arrive there; be it building a school, a water well or stocking supply shipments in local hospitals and they will also take part in an authentic water walk with the locals which consists of walking long distances with jugs to fill with water at a source and carry back on their heads.” Cooper described to The Suburban. “They will also learn about the Masai Mara culture from the locals and attend leadership training programs run by ‘Me to We’ facilitators in the evening.” she explained.
As a team leader, Cooper revealed to The Suburban that she hopes for her group to gain a new perspective and to experience the fulfillment of ‘doing good for others’. “This is an opportunity for them to share and to bond in a life changing experience.” she said.

Five Central Reserve Police Force troopers and two suicide attackers were among seven persons killed and nine others wounded in a fidayeen attack in the Bemina locality of Srinagar on Wednesday morning. Those injured included seven CRPF troopers and two civilians. All the injured have been evacuated to hospital for treatment.
A senior police officer said two militants attacked a CRPF patrol at Bemina near a public school on Wednesday morning lobbing grenades and firing from automatic weapons. “Five CRPF jawans were killed on the spot and seven other jawans were injured,” the officer added.
Senior policemen and paramilitary CRPF officers rushed to the spot along with reinforcements and the area was immediately surrounded. He said the CRPF and police retaliated and engaged the militants in a gunfight near a school during which the two suicide attackers were killed.
However, the he Police Public School was closed due to strike called by separatists in support of their demand for return of mortal remains of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru.
Inspector General of Police (Kashmir) Abdul Gani Mir said the group affiliation and identity of the militants killed in the incident was a matter of investigation.
Tension gripped Srinagar where shops, businesses were shut and public transport was off the roads. However, skeletal private transport was seen plying on the city roads.
The strike has been called by the separatist conglomerate Mutaihida Majlis-e-Mashawarat, which is spearheading the current phase of protests and shutdowns in Kashmir Valley.
The area is now being combed to ensure that no attacker has escaped or hiding in the area where a CRPF battalion headquarter is located.
This is the first major militant strike in the heart of Srinagar since 2009 and at a time when the authorities are bracing up for the upcoming tourist season.
Jammu and Kashmir police chief Ashok Prasad had on Tuesday warned separatists to desist from calling shutdowns which were creating difficulties for the common man.

16 Edibles to sow now for crops through late summer and autumn. Includes root veggies, salad greens, Asian greens, and information on sowing times, long-day vs short-day veg
We’re in the middle of glut-season. Baskets of tomatoes, trugs of zucchini, and more lettuce than we could possibly eat. It may be far from our minds but within weeks our veg will begin dying down and patches of once productive garden space will be empty. If you plan ahead, it’s possible to keep the homegrown food coming though. The fare will change, and in some cases the growing technique, but with a little forethought you can extend the season into autumn and beyond. It’s not to late to plant for autumn harvests.
There are three important things to understand before you get started. Time to maturity, the difference between short-day and long-day plants, and your own climate. The guide below will help you to choose the right veg to grow and to know when to start it from seed.
Time to maturity for vegetables
The time it takes a seed to fully grow into a crop varies from vegetable to vegetable. It can also vary by variety and time of year. Take lettuce, for example — in the chart below lettuces are given about 40-60 days to grow to maturity. There’s a big difference between those days because it will take longer for them to grow in cooler weather. Sow in late spring and it may only take 40 days but sow in late summer and it may take longer.
Lettuce varieties also play a big role in time to maturity. Smaller varieties, like Little Gems, and leaf lettuce, will take a lot less than head-forming lettuces. There are also varieties better suited for growing in cool weather and through the winter. Lettuce ‘All the Year Round’ is a butterhead that you can harvest up to October when grown outdoors. Other varieties, like Green Oak Leaf and Valdor can be very tolerant of winter temperatures. At least here in Britain.
Vegetables are aware of darkness
Photoperiodism is your word of the day. What it refers to is the number of hours of darkness and light that a plant is exposed to. In growing vegetables, it’s important to us because plants use light, or rather darkness, to tell them time of the year. They use that timing to know when the optimal time to mature and set seed will be.
Leaves are little solar panels and they communicate to the whole plant if the days are drawing longer or shorter. They tally up hours of darkness and strive to set seed at a particular night length. This time varies by plant but long-day vegetables all aim to set seed when days of light rise above a critical threshold. Typically when there’s more than 12 hours of sunlight.
Some veg, like spinach, aims to set seed near the shortest night (longest day) of the year. For us in the northern hemisphere that’s June 21st or round-abouts. That means that even if you keep it well watered and shaded around this time it will still tend to ‘bolt’. The same goes for turnips, rocket, and most other veg.
The trick in growing these long-day plants, is to plan for their maturity date to be well before midsummer or after. Sow spinach in late July and August and you’ll have a much better chance of a crop than sowing it in May.
When to sow autumn crops
So now you know that to grow autumn crops you need to choose the right varieties of veg. Leafy greens will be your friend since they are quick to mature. You can also take advantage of many of them being long-day veg so their tendency to bolt will be less. The next thing to calculate is when to sow.
Your region’s first and last frost date will dictate when to sow veg. If you live in the USA, you can find out your dates here. For the British Isles you’ll want to check on this website. Count back the days to maturity for any plant from the first frost date. That day will be the last day you can sow it.
Hacks for Autumn crops
Many autumn vegetables sown from seed will tend to be green and leafy. Think lettuces, Asian greens, and cool climate herbs and leaves. If you’re a little late in sowing, another way to extend the season is to buy plug plants. Many seed companies will still be offering them from late July to August so have a browse. It’s a quick and efficient way of skipping the initial growing time.
You can also encourage new growth on non-woody perennial herbs by cutting them back hard. Herbs like peppermint, lemon balm, lovage, welsh onions, and chives will grow new shoots and leaves up to the first frost. Bring them indoors or under cover if you’d like to extend the season even further.
What to plant for autumn harvests
These are some of the vegetables to grow for autumn harvests. They include a lot of leafy greens like spinach, chard, and oriental veg. Mix and match them for cooler season salads or toss them into a stir fry. Some, like kale and lamb’s lettuce, can stand through frost and cold. Their growth will slow down but they’ll still give you greens during autumn and winter.
- Arugula Also known as Rocket. This peppery leaf is easy to grow and can be used in all manner of dishes ranging from salads to rice to pizza toppings. 45-60 days to maturity.
- Beet Greens The green tops of beetroot. Though it can take considerably longer for the actual root to develop, you can expect to have beetroot greens ready for picking in as little as a month. The leaves are similar in taste but earthier than Swiss Chard. You can eat them as baby leaves or wait until they’re more mature to harvest. 21-42 days to maturity
- Bok choi / Chinese Cabbage A mild flavored crisp vegetable that can be used both raw and cooked. Though each plant needs about a foot to mature into full size, you can grow ‘baby’ leaves in pots and containers. 25-30 days to maturity.
- Cabbage There are varieties of cabbage that naturally mature in both autumn and winter. Sow well in advance since it takes 50-90 days for them to reach maturity.
- Cilantro Also known as Coriander. Cilantro is a popular herb used in both Asian and Latin American dishes including soups, salads, and ethnic savory dishes. 60-70 days to maturity.
- Kailaan / Gai Lan Thick fleshy cabbage flavored leaves that can be used in stir fries, salads, and other dishes that call for cabbage leaves and greens. When grown in containers you must use the plants in their ‘baby’ state. In open ground they need just over a foot to mature to full size. 60-70 days to maturity.
- Lamb’s Lettuce / Corn Salad This hardy green comes in two varieties. One you sow in late summer and it gives you tender greens in autumn. The other is a winter-hardy variety. 50-70 days to maturity.
- Lettuces There are dozens of different types of lettuce but most will give you an autumn harvest. For extending the season, look for varieties that are winter hardy. 40-60 days to maturity.
- Mibuna An Asian vegetable with a peppery, mustardy flavor. It’s used in stir fries but is more commonly uncooked and used in salads or as toppings for savory dishes. 40-50 days to maturity.
- Mizuna Similar to Mibuna, this Japanese green resembles Arugula (Rocket) and is used predominantly in salads and uncooked dishes. 40-50 days to maturity.
- Mustard Greens Hot and peppery, use Mustard Greens in salads, stir-fries, and other dishes that need a little heat. Keep in mind that while the baby leaves are tender and flavorful, more mature leaves can be bitter. 30-40 days to maturity.
- Pak Choi An upright succulent green with fleshy bases and robust green leaves. Very mild flavor. 45-75 days to maturity.
- Peas It’s possible to get a second crop of peas in the autumn. In July and early August sow varieties that are resistant to hot weather and disease like powdery mildew. 70-90 days to maturity.
- Radishes Juicy and peppery, radishes are a relatively trouble-free vegetable that loves cooler conditions. Autumn conditions are perfect for these tasty and colorful little root veggies. 30-60 days to maturity.
- Spinach You might find that it’s a lot easier growing spinach as an autumn crop due to the long-day information above. 35-45 days to maturity.
- Swiss Chard This green grows fast and can stand all winter long in mild climates. You can even get a flush of new green leaves the following spring. 40-60 days to maturity.
