Dairy Grazing: Selecting the Right Forage - Page 6
Prairiegrass, often called Matua grass, is a cool-season perennial bunchgrass. Despite its name, prairiegrass is not native to North America. Prairiegrass is adapted to well-drained and fertile soils where the soil pH is 6.0–7.0. Generally, soils that support good alfalfa production work well for prairiegrass. Prairiegrass produces well in summer as long as soil moisture is adequate, and it overwinters well if a 5-inch stubble is left in autumn. Despite the productivity of prairiegrass under ideal conditions, individual plants do not persist well in the Midwest. Stands are best maintained by allowing for a reseeding period every year. One reason prairiegrass does not persist well is that it is a “jointed grass.” This means that prairiegrass elevates its growing point above ground during tiller development. Grazing or cutting prairiegrass after the growing point has been elevated above grazing or cutting height dramatically reduces subsequent regrowth and may result in plant death. As a result, prairiegrass does not tolerate continuous grazing, so it is best suited for rotational grazing with long rest periods.
Yield distribution of Prairiegrass in Missouri.
- Origin: The Pampas grasslands of South America
- Adaptation to Missouri: Statewide
- Growth habit: Short-lived, perennial bunchgrass.
- Blade: Emerging leaf rolled, but may appear folded. Upper surface pubescent with hairs in distinct rows, bottom half often glabrous, margins rough.
- Sheath: Oval, densely covered with soft hairs, slightly compressed, keeled.
- Ligule: Membranous, white, fringed, split along margin, about 1⁄3 inch long.
- Auricles: Absent.
- Seed head: Open, drooping panicle with flat, compressed and large spikelets.
- Fertilization: Apply 30 to 40 lb N/acre in early spring followed by 30 to 40 lb N/acre after each grazing to maximize regrowth. Phosphorus and potassium to soil test.
- Timing of production: Early spring; late summer and early autumn.
- When to begin grazing: When the grass reaches 8 to 10 inches in height. Allow a regrowth period of 28 to 42 days.
- When to cut for hay: Boot stage
- Lowest cutting or grazing height: 3 inches
- Fall management: Light grazing possible in fall if a 5-inch stubble is left for winter.

October 11, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cumming, GA – The United Futbol Academy is excited to announce their partnership with the U.S. Soccer Girls’ Development Academy (DA). U.S. Soccer’s launch of the Girls' Development Academy is an initiative designed to accelerate the development of world-class female players. The program, which will begin play in the fall of 2017, will be comprised of clubs that are among the most elite in the United States.
The U.S. Soccer Development Academy has served as the elite male youth player development model for the country since 2007 and has significantly improved the everyday environment for players, coaches and clubs. The Girls’ Development Academy will be structured with many of the same principles and will focus on positively impacting everyday club environments to maximize elite female youth player development. Increasing the training-to-game ratio, playing fewer but more meaningful games and providing assistance for coaching education and development are just some of the standards and best practices the program will promote.
“We are very excited to be a part of the Girls’ Development Academy. This is a great avenue for our elite-level female players to keep on developing and have a professional soccer option right in their back yard,” said Iggy Moleka, UFA’s Director of Soccer. “For the past few years, we have improved our coaching staff and we have excellent facilities to service our community. Our goal for the future is to develop players for the U.S. National Team and this brings us closer to achieving that goal.”

1908 TO 1993
1985 TO 1993
†This work was compiled by Wauneta McDerneit and Cleo Staley
SOUTHEAST KANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY
Thanks toWauneta McDerneit and the SEK Genealogical Society, its current president Richard Canfield, and the members of the group for allowing me to begin work on these records
A note about why I chose to do this particular material.†
As a little girl growing up in Iola - going to the cemetery was a natural occurance.† My grandmother, Ethel Gantt Childress, did as many others of the time did, she observed the tradition of what we now call Memorial Day, only then it was called Decoration Day.† Her home was about a mile from the cemetery and we walked, carrying the flowers from her yard (roses, lilies, peonies, honeysuckle, probably sweet peas and others) in cans, which had water in them because there wasnít water at the cemetery then.† And then we carried the empty cans back home to be reused another time.† I remember one of her cousins, Carrie Howard Mogul usually stopping by to visit Grandma when they came to Iola to the cemetery.† I was taught that going to the cemetery was an act of respect and remembrance.† And because my grandmother was such a stickler for respect, I was not allowed to walk immediately across the gravesites.† I was taught to walk the ďundesignatedĒ paths between gravesite rows. And I also remember the Veterans decorating the graves of those soldiers who had served in the Civil War, WW 1 and WW 11.† Small neat rows of American flags lined the gravesites.† It was always a beautiful site, and I still am moved when I see cemeteries all decorated with flowers and flags.
After my grandmotherís death in 1950 my mother continued her mother-in-lawís tradition to decorate the gravesites with flowers from my grandmotherís yard, as we had moved into her home.† But in 1955 all that tradition ended when we moved away from Iola.† And though Iíve only been back to Highland Cemetery four or five times since then, when Memorial Day comes around, I still visit that lovely cemetery, in my mind, and place flowers on the graves of my dad, my grandparents and great-grandparents.
††††† Last Memorial Day (2000) we were back in Kansas and I got to visit Highland Cemetery as well as several other cemeteries in Allen and Linn Counties, as my husband and I were looking for the headstones of my ancestors, some of which I had not seen since I was in my twenties.† Then we went up to Lyon County to find his grandmotherís gravesite.† It was a fun (and hot and windy) trip, but being a detective was fun.† So thatís the story!† If you canít get back to Allen County to find your ancestor, then perhaps this site is the best way for you to find them.†
All entries from the book have been made. There is still some editing to do and work to make the entries all appear the same. If you note any errors please let me know. Entries were made as true to the book as possible.†
If you have any questions? †Please contact me Ė Lonna Nevil at email@example.com
I also would like to note that I donít know if the date given is for the personís death date or the date lots were purchased.† As an example, they have the date listed as 4 September 1970 for my father.† He died 2 September 1970.† These records will give the researcher a general idea of the time their ancestor died.† In compiling these records the researchers struggled with hand written records done by many different employees of the cemetery and consequently some of the names were hard to decipher.† A personal note here too:† My grandfatherís last name was Childress.† The record shows his name to be Childers.† My grandmotherís however was written correctly.† As with all research we must look to family personal records of our ancestor to see how the name was written, and then who knows it may be wrong too.† Good luck in your search.

It has been a crazy offseason for the Chicago Bears and their starting quarterback, Justin Fields. He finally speaks and clears some things up.
This has been one of the craziest offseasons for the Chicago Bears. They seem to be on the cusp of breaking out and starting a new era of winning football. In Year 3 of general manager Ryan Poles’ rebuild, it is crucial that the team takes a big step forward.
The biggest subject of attention this offseason is what Poles will do. With two top-ten picks, including the number one overall pick, and the third-highest salary cap space in the league, Poles’ decisions this offseason will send ripples throughout the NFL. Many teams covet a quarterback. They would love to have the top pick so they could choose between Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, or some other top prospect.
Additionally, the Chicago Bears have Justin Fields. For a lot of teams that cannot afford to trade for the top pick, they could afford to trade for Fields. Whatever Poles makes available, there will be teams that will want to make a deal.
The overall consensus is that the Chicago Bears will trade Fields. While he has shown flashes of greatness in his three years in Chicago, he has not been consistent. To be fair, however, he was in the midst of the rebuild. Poles decided to tear everything down, trading players with big contracts. In their place, he signed castoffs from other teams. These players were second, third, and fourth-string players, They were then put in a situation where they became starters.
That was a recipe for disaster, and it was. The Bears were 3-14 and lost their last 10 games in 2022. He also took a beating with the offensive line struggles with injury.
Now the Chicago Bears are in a position where they could reset the clock on the quarterback and part ways with Fields. Will Poles trade Fields and get his quarterback? That is the million-dollar question. Many people and teams around the league are clamoring to have an answer to that. They are looking out for any information that comes out.
Fields made a move and drove people nuts
To give you an idea of how crazy things are regarding the quarterback situation, Fields made a move on social media that caused an earthquake around the league. He unfollowed the Chicago Bears on his Instagram.
That move either confirmed what many people thought or made others rethink their ideas. If he unfollowed the team that means he was told that he would be traded, right? All the following mock drafts and speculation was that Fields was out. Add to that the reports that say Poles will have a decision made next week after he meets with other teams at the NFL Combine.
Well, that might not be the case after all.
Fields finally spoke out on the situation. He was on the St. Brown Brothers podcast. The podcast is hosted by Amon-Ra St. Brown and his brother Equanimeous. Equanimeous was Fields’ teammate for the past two seasons. He was able to use his friendship to garner one of the biggest interviews this offseason.
Fields spoke on several topics, some related to football and some not. Of course, the only thing fans wanted to find out about was his situation with the Chicago Bears. That topic was broached.
Why he unfollowed the Chicago Bears
Aman-Ra asked Fields directly about why he unfollowed the Bears. Fields said he was glad he asked him. He then wondered why people take social media so seriously.
I still mess with the Bears. I’m just trying to take a break. I unfollowed them and the NFL. I just not trying to have football on my timeline…Every post is either ‘Keep Fields’ or ‘Draft Caleb.’ Man, I’m tired of hearing the talk.
He went on to compare his relationship with the Bears to talking to a woman. He said that most times you don’t follow the woman you want the most. So Aman-Ra said that Fields messes with the Bears more now because he unfollowed them. Fields smiled and reiterated that he didn’t want that on his timeline.
You’d have to imagine that with all of the “Caleb Williams is this” and “Fields is that” talk does take a toll at some time. Fields said he was about to go on vacation so he did not want to see all of that.
It is important to note that Fields still has Chicago Bears pics on his profile. Also, below his name on the profile, it states his occupation as “Chicago Bears quarterback.” Additionally, not following your team isn’t that rare. Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud doesn’t follow his team on Instagram.
On whether he wants to stay in Chicago
With all the intense scrutiny about the entire situation, could Fields just be tired of it all and want out? He said he loves the city and wants to stay with the Bears. However, he understands the business part of the NFL.
Yeah, of course, of course I want to stay. To be honest…I can’t see myself playing in another place. I know how the league is…If it was up to me I’d stay in Chicago. I love the city, the city is lit. It’s a business, I have no control over it. Whatever happens, happens.
Fields also showed that he was tired of all the talk. He said he wanted it all to be over. Let him know if he is staying or getting traded. Either way, he wants a resolution soon.
So do we, Justin. So do we.

A few months ago we told you about Police Cadet Nicole Lander, who was selling her personalised artwork to raise money for the NHS.
In the past week Nicole announced the total from her artwork sales and has donated the money and an art piece to Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
Nicole sold just over 180 hand drawn replicas of the original ‘key workers artwork’, raising an incredible total of £2,150.
She said: “It’s amazing to know that you can make a difference, just from the comfort of your own home and with things you currently own! It took me more than 240 hours to complete all orders, and it was an honour to have spent my time creating each personalised piece, spreading love and happiness to those who are supporting us each and every day.”
Nicole had requests not just from Chesterfield or Derbyshire, but she also posted her artwork to people in Huddersfield, Northampton, Bristol, Bournemouth, Newcastle, London... the list goes on!
The money will be used towards bringing health and well-being experiences to Chesterfield Royal Hospital and Primary Care Staff, as well as to help enhance care and facilities for patients.
We are all very proud of Nicole and wish her all the best for her future.

Trip Start Feb 05, 2012
18Trip End Ongoing
Map your own trip!
Show trip route
The gateway to the Whitsunday's is Airlie Beach. Airlie Beach is essentially a strip of hostels, fast food chains, bars and tour operators - giving the feeling that they all sprung up hastily and simultaneously when someone cottoned onto how much money could be made from its scenic neighbours. Consequently, the place has an artificial, shallow feel. You know it wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for commercial interference. A more highbrow version of Malia , with an attached paddling pool (or as the guidebook misleadingly calls it 'a gorgeous lagoon.’
We had booked to sail the islands on a 2 day 1 night trip, run by Explore Whitsundays
We all squeezed into the boat regardless and were allocated beds. Luckily, as a six we took up a whole dormlike section to ourselves. This relief eased the mood again somewhat (despite the dorm resembling a dominoes box).
We were warmly welcomed aboard by the skipper Mick, who requested that everybody must speak English as ‘we all know how much Germans like to speak their own language.’ In another swipe of casual racism he told two wide eyed Austrians that Austria and Germany were ‘the same place really’ and labelled those who spoke in their mother tongue as plain rude. Our lives were in the hands of a little mini Mussolini.
As the voyage got underway we made the top end of the ship, as far away from Mickolini as possible, our own, stretched out in the sun and watched the turquoise water lick at the side of the boat
The first stop was Hayman Island, the most northern of the Whitsunday Islands, and a sheltered colourful cove named Blue Pearl Bay. Here, we became reacquainted with our old foes the stinger suits. We pulled on our snorkel masks and plopped into the water. Immediately we were struck by the sheer concentration of fish surrounding us. Unlike the open waters of Agincourt Reef, Blue Pearl bay’s reef is much more contained and compact. Consequently, everywhere you turn you have to fight your way through shoals of fish, wrestling amongst themselves to grab a good patch of reef – much like the Boxing Day Sales.
While we were delighted by the volume of fish, they did seem to all belong to one of three varieties and as a result Blue Pearl lacked the diversity and surprise factor of Agincourt Reef. Also, more alarming was the number of jellyfish polluting the water. Their practically transparent bodies cloaking them in invisibility until they were about 10cm from your face. At this point you had to frantically try and reverse making sure no bit of exposed flesh made contact. Their presence made the whole thing a bit like an underwater video game where the baddies are always one step ahead. After we’d flopped back onto the boat, Dale a member of crew very helpfully informed us that these particular jellyfish are completely harmless
Mick was due next to take us onto another cove for a bit more snorkelling. I asked him if the trip planned to visit Langford Island at all and at that he decided we'd take a detour and head there straight away. At high tide the beach on Langford Island shrinks to a thin strip completely surrounded by sea. It is one of the poster images for the Whitsundays and really doesn't disappoint. We were dropped off in the dinghy and left to while away a few hours there at our leisure. The ruler-like strip of sand is flecked with hundreds of shells and pieces of coral making for an an absorbing stroll. The surrounding islands complete the picture perfect view from the beach, making the island an ideal vantage point to sit and admire the beauty of the Whitsundays.
When we were collected a few hours later the tide had retreated rapidly, exposing rocks and soggy sand and destroying the islands idiosyncratic beauty. I was glad we had reached the island within its secret time window and enjoyed it in its prime.
We anchored for the night in Hook Passage - a sheltered gap in between the bottom of Hook Island and the top of Whitsunday Island
We were the only people on board who had not thought to bring alcohol. So while the rest of the passengers bonded, slapped their goon and defied Mick's rules by listening to German hip-hop, we skulked down at the bottom of the boat with the fish. Down here, about a hundred tiny silver fish danced around in the dark water. Two large squid hunted amongst them and when the squid went in for a decisive attack the tiny silver fish would jump out of the water, filling the air with silver, fish sized snow. Some landed on the boat and we had to quickly push their twitching bodies back into the water to save their lives. They left behind little silver scales that glittered on deck and stuck to our feet.
Mick, his wedding ring and two brassy cockney girls disappeared down to the dark end of the ship, where they erected some sheets to segregate themselves from everyone else. Much of the rest of our evening was spent in outraged speculation and shining a torch down to the other end of the ship to try and provoke a reaction.
Mick had the whole ship up at the crack of dawn to set sail for Whitsunday Island and miss the crowds
We stayed at Whitehaven for a couple of hours. When we came to leave, the crowds had already started their domination. They stained the unspoiled view and destoyed the early morning tranquility. Once again I was glad of our timing.
When we arrived back on the boat the heat had intensified. Any shade that was there previously had disappeared. We spent an uncomfortable, hot and bothersome four hours sailing aimlessly around the sea. Mick clearly had an allocated time to deliver us back and had run out of energy to do anything productive with us. Despite a beautiful trip we were all relieved to arrive sticky and lightheaded back on solid ground.

Driptech’s affordable drip irrigation systems are dotting the countryside in the eastern Indian state of Orissa. Phase two of the Kechla drip irrigation project is being rolled out in collaboration with Kopernik, an international technology marketplace, and Auro-Mira Service Society (AMSS), a local NGO involved in education and environment work. Nearly 70 small plot farmers are investing in drip irrigation to bolster their incomes and food security throughout the year.
Back in April, prior to the monsoon rain, farmers attended local language community meetings to learn about the water-saving, labor-saving, and yield-increasing benefits of drip irrigation. They vied with one another to be selected for one of the two demonstration plots during the phase one pilot project.
Rogenath (pictured below) was one of these eager farmers, but since his field was tucked away from the view of passersby it didn’t have the high visibility needed for the initial demonstration plots. After the monsoon rains ended and the rollout of phase two of the Kechla drip irrigation project started, Rogenath’s system was the first to be installed. His 250 square meter plot is located right beside a small creek, which, when dammed to create a small reservoir, will provide an easy water source just steps away from his drip irrigation tank. As the first installation wrapped up and Rogenath could see his system in place, he asked how many drip holes were on the plot. When he calculated that he could grow at least 875 tomato plants during the dry season, a broad smile spread across his face.
Excited at the prospect of a dry season tomato crop, Rogenath poses with his daughter in front of his Driptech system
For some farmers in Kechla like Rogenath, drip irrigation provides the only realistic means of cultivating vegetables during the dry season. Nakul (pictured below in blue) previously carried buckets of water from a small stream in a ravine 50m away to hand water his chili crop. Now he can deliver this hard-earned water precisely to his crops rather than wastefully splashing it across the earth and inadvertently irrigating weeds.
Nakul with project installation team Annie (Kopernik), Sudam (AMSS), and Runa (AMSS), is relieved that drip irrigation will save him from the burden of hand-watering his chili crop
For other farmers in Kechla, drip irrigation represents a step-wise improvement from labor-intensive flood irrigation. Jogenath, another farmer in the community, wanted to install a Driptech system so that he wouldn’t have to spend time and energy moving mud to temporarily channel the flow of a stream through furrows in his field. Now he can simply fill his tank and control irrigation with the turn of a valve.
Driptech irrigation saves time and labor when compared to flood irrigation
Phase two of the Kechla drip irrigation project is in full swing. After a five day training by Driptech, the implementation team composed of AMSS staff, a Kopernik fellow, and local day laborers are disbursing materials and teaching Kechla farmers how to install and maintain their drip systems.
Farmers come to the local NGO to pick up their supplies

If I put on sunscreen daily, it will prevent skin cancer, right? Reading this article as a woman in my late 20s was a wake-up call. The editor of Self Magazine reminds readers of the importance of skin protection when it comes to preventing skin cancer.
The most important lesson we can take from her experience is that it is often the areas we don’t think about that turn out to be the parts of our bodies where skin cancer can affect us most. The editor found her cancer was basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and it was at her hairline. As a beauty editor, she is aware of how dangerous UV rays can be.
How could someone as careful as she was have gotten skin cancer?
It turns out that on a cellular level, 80%of BCCs are from sun damage that happened before the age of 18. This type of skin cancer is hardly ever metastic, and treatment is almost 100% effective. So while skin cancer can sneak up on people, the majority of BCCs are detected through screenings. Most dermatologists suggest yearly full-body checks, but even minor changes should send you to the doctor.
Make a pledge to shield your skin from the damage that the sun can do. Be aware of any skin discoloration so you can catch these things early. To avoid further potential UV damage, you need to wear SPF 30 or higher, and you must reapply sun protection every two hours. To protect your scalp, it is recommended to apply SPF45 along the hairline and your hair’s part, and wear a hat with a brim.

Every four years, the Olympic Winter Games serves as an opportunity for countries around the world to send their best skiers, skaters, and snowboarders for a chance to claim Olympic glory for their home nations. Like any event that includes delegations from many countries, the Olympics always serve as a commentary on the state of international affairs at the time. This year is no exception, as the 2018 Olympics, held in PyeongChang, South Korea, have invited a great deal of commentary on the state of North Korean-South Korean relations.
These discussions were only heightened by North Korea’s inclusion in the Games and the decision to have both North and South Koreans march in the Opening Ceremony under one unified Korean flag. The real story, however, came with the collection of world leaders that were in attendance. South Korean President Moon Jae-in was obviously present and cheering on the host nation, and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence also made an appearance to support the Americans. Seated only a few seats away from these leaders was Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. Given the recent scuffles between U.S. President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, the fact that leaders from their countries were all gathered in the same place was sure to make headlines.
Some of these headlines, however, left many people scratching their heads, as several news outlets took the opportunity to send praise in Kim Yo-jong’s direction. The controversy began when CNN proclaimed that “Kim Jong Un’s sister is stealing the show at the Winter Olympics.” In this article, the authors refer to Kim as the Ivanka Trump of North Korea, noting that Kim “is not only a powerful member of Kim Jong Un’s kitchen cabinet but also a foil to the perception of North Korea as antiquated and militaristic.” Although the article did dedicate a paragraph to discussing North Korea’s institutionalized oppression of its citizens, many wondered why a major American news outlet would run a headline that speaks so positively of the woman who serves as deputy director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Workers’ Party for one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships.
The fawning headlines did not stop with CNN. The New York Times also published their own take on the events in PyeongChang: “Kim Jong-un’s Sister Turns On the Charm, Taking Pence’s Spotlight.” Also invoking the comparison to Ivanka Trump, the authors of this piece found that “Ms. Kim managed to outflank Mr. Trump’s envoy to the Olympics, Vice President Mike Pence, in the game of diplomatic image-making.” The authors argued that Pence missed an important opportunity by not standing when the unified Korean team entered the stadium, as Kim evidently came to South Korea with a message of reconciliation between North and South, a message that Pence did not seem to support by standing for the unified team. Kim’s message of unification did not apparently include talk of whether or not her family would embrace democracy and human rights for their citizens.
Similar headlines also appeared on a number of other media sites. Reuters proclaimed that “North Korea heads for diplomacy gold medal at Olympics,” and The Washington Post noted that “The ‘Ivanka Trump of North Korea’ captivates people in the South at the Olympics.” All of these articles praised Kim Yo-jong for her apparent grace, poise, and diplomacy in an environment where many people would understandably be hostile towards her. While stories involving the Kim family are certainly noteworthy and extremely relevant to the study of contemporary international affairs, headlines like the ones discussed above are problematic and potentially dangerous for a number of reasons, the most important of which is the brutality of the government that Kim represents. The innumerable human rights abuses committed by the North Korean government have been well-documented. According to a 2017 study conducted by the International Bar Association War Crimes Committee, Kim Jong-un has overseen the carrying out of ten of the eleven crimes against humanity established by the Rome Statute, including murder, extermination, enslavement, torture, and sexual violence. Defectors have even testified that at one prison camp, between 1,500 and 2,000 children were deliberately overworked and starved to death. As both a member of the Kim family and a North Korean government official, Kim Yo-jong is complicit in these crimes. Her appearance at the Olympics and her country’s willingness to march with their neighbors to the south can only be taken as an attempt to distract the world from the horrors North Korea inflicts on its people. Unfortunately, it appears that some members of the media, knowingly or not, have assisted the Kims by glamorizing Kim Yo-jong.
Taking the brutality of the Kim regime into consideration, the comparison of Kim Yo-jong to Ivanka Trump is also particularly odious. Like any public figure, Ivanka Trump is not and should not be immune to criticism, and she is certainly a polarizing figure, though arguably not to the same extent as her father. That being said, it is frankly absurd to make any meaningful comparison between Trump and Kim other than the fact that they are both prominent figures in their respective countries’ governments. This is where the similarities end. Kim is a member of an unelected royal family who presides over a dictatorship that enforces virtually unmatched brutality and political repression. Trump is part of a government that holds free elections and provides for its citizens all of the civil rights and liberties that North Korea expressly denies its people. Again, this is not to say that Ivanka Trump or the Trump administration itself is immune from critique, but in the United States, one is free to criticize government officials without the fear of being sent to a prison camp. The same cannot be said in North Korea, which is why comparisons between North Korean dictators and American political figures are far-fetched and ignorant of the facts.
Finally, and most importantly, articles that attempt to paint the Kim family in a positive light will do nothing to improve the state of North-South Korean relations. In another article from The New York Times, Choe Sang-hun argued the following:
Just a few months ago, North Korea was regarded as nothing but a menace, rattling the region with nuclear and missile tests and staging bloody political purges at home. Almost overnight, with friendly smiles and messages of reconciliation, Ms. Kim managed to help soften her country’s image among South Koreans, at least for the moment.
That moment will almost certainly end when the Olympics do, as there has been no discussion of actual policy changes within North Korea. While many articles, including the aforementioned one, have carefully analyzed the coyness of Kim’s smile and the underlying messages of her clothing choices, there seems to be no indication of whether or not her government will actually cease its human rights abuses within its borders or stop instigating unrest with its neighbors and the rest of the international community. Even if Kim did successfully change her public image in South Korea through a “charm offensive,” this anecdote is ultimately meaningless. Not only is it a subjective opinion, the idea that a positive diplomatic face will somehow lead to Korean reconciliation after the Olympics are over does not seem tenable. The Kim regime will still be able to carry on its usual activities, and there will be no real incentive for structural reform within the North Korean government. Unless North Korea changes its ways, any talk of reconciliation with South Korea will ultimately ring hollow, and unfortunately, articles that emphasize the supposed diplomatic prowess of Kim Yo-jong place the idealistic over the realistic.
While primarily a sporting event, the Olympics also serve as a symbolic illustration into many aspects of international affairs. Of course, this is often due to the optics of having numerous world leaders together under one roof. Such events offer an opportunity for journalists to analyze the current state of world politics and put forward insights on what the future might hold for the international community. This opportunity brings with it a responsibility. The analysis of international relations does not need to include the glamorization of ruthless dictators and notorious human rights abusers, and the comparison of such leaders to American political figures constitutes a substantial logical leap. Simply put, the diplomatic maneuvers of Kim Yo-jong may indeed make for flashy headlines, but they do not indicate a meaningful shift in North Korean policy, both foreign and domestic, once the Olympic cauldron is extinguished. Perhaps if more attention was placed on the atrocities committed under the rule of the Kim regime and less on the personal actions of one of its most prominent members, real and meaningful change in North-South Korean relations could be possible in the future.

Classic building from 1881 (so everything looks worn). I like the ambiance, but if you want a new modern building, this isn't it. On Bedford Avenue close to the L train stop "Bedford" (8 min walk), Citibike a block away. Countless bars and restaurants in the trendiest area of Brooklyn (& NYC). It's small, at 600 sq feet (~60 m sq), but perfect for a couple, or if you want to feel like you really live here. I only rent while on vacation, and make it cheap for the area in case it isn't "perfect".

CCR-1 Rolls Out District Website
By Mike Scott
Clark County R-1 school district continues to improve its use of technology, and the district’s new website is just another example.
“I think it will make it easier for parents to access information,” said Ritchie Kracht, CCR-1 Superintendent.
Information on the site includes class and activity schedules, a place “special announcements” such as school closings or early dismissal, and email links to staff members, so parents have additional access to their student’s teachers.
“Almost all the teachers have computer access, most with laptops, and we’ve been doing a lot of technology training. The majority (of teachers) are pretty good with it now,” Kracht added
The site is still growing, and eventually, parents will be able to access their student’s grade, attendance and lunch money accounts.
A side benefit for the district will be its use as a tool in recruiting new staff. Prospective teachers will be able to access information about the school online, and find out more about the district before they come to an interview.
The site was created by the Web Development class at the high school. Webmaster Sherry Evans and last 2007 graduates Dasan Justice and Jerrod Kauffman put in hours of work entering information on the site prior to its debut.
Class Instructor Sherry Evans stated, “The students worked very hard on the project. The website should be of real value to the district as it is updated daily with bulletin available for the next day. Plans for upgrading will include Middle School and Elementary School links.”

The recruiting process never stops. So even though the Huskies have buttoned up the 2014 class, and have added commitments to the 2015 class, it's not too early to offering scholarships to players who won't be freshmen until 2016.
That brings us to Erin Boley, a 6-2 sophomore forward from Hodgenville, Kentucky, who made her second unofficial visit to UConn recently.
“We were able to do some more academic stuff this time and explore the surrounding areas of the campus,” Boley’s mother, Mary Beth, told SNY.com's Carl Adamec. “She really enjoyed her time with the players and the coaches.”
Boley was on hand when the Huskies handled the University of Hartford on Nov. 9 -- she received a scholarship offer from Geno Auriemma a short time later -- as well as for the season finale against Louisville on March 3.
And like almost every other player to play for Auriemma in recent years, Boley already has a long list of accomplishments. She was the Kentucky Gatorade Player of the Year, led her high school team to a 32-5 record last season while averaging 20.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game. She also converted 42 percent of his looks form behind the arc.
As it stands, her recruitment remains wide open.
“She will narrow it down to a smaller list soon,” Mary Beth Boley said. “UConn will definitely be on that list!”
The Huskies' 2014 class includes Gabby Williams (5-11, Nevada), Sadie Edwards (5-9, New Jersey), Courtney Ekmark (6-0, Arizona) and Kia Nurse (5-11, Canada). And last month, Napheesa Collier, a 6-1 junior forward from St. Louis, Mo., gave an oral commitment to UConn.

Switchfoot to play in Philippines on Easter Sunday
American rock band Switchfoot will be coming to Manila this March!
They will be performing as part of the Walkway show produced by Church Simplified at the Bonifacio High Street Amphitheater on Easter Sunday which falls on March 27.
CNN Philippines confirmed the news by Bebo Bharwani, the director of Church Simplified.
Bharwani mentioned, "This time they'll be promoting “Fading West”, but who knows we might hear unreleased stuff since they are in the process of completing their 10th album."
This will be the band's third visit to the country after a 2007 benefit concert at the Cuneta Astrodome and their 2011 "The Hello Hurricane Tour" at PhilSports Arena.
The concert is part of the Walkway Station of the Cross interactive art exhibit which runs from Palm Sunday (March 20) until Easter Sunday (March 27) at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
It will be a free concert, but those who want to get up close with the band will need tickets. The organizers have yet to announce how fans can get tickets to the show.
Bharwani adds that the tickets usually come free when they purchase the souvenir shirt for the exhibit.
The Grammy award winning band are known for their hit singles such as "Dare You To Move", "Stars", "Mess of Me" and "Love Alone Is Worth the Fight."
Their tenth studio album is also due for release sometime this year and they might include some of their new tracks at the concert so don't miss their free show next month in Manila.

Last July, I had been playing around with a test hull featuring a very long bowsprit and a single sail, which was a jib with a large rake angle (see thread entitled “Slighty Unconventional”. The objective was to get enough lift from the jib to avoid nose-diving when running. There were several questions that needed to be answered. First, could it be balanced sufficiently to sail to windward without a lee helm, which it could, by moving the keel far forward. Secondly, would this scheme prevent nose-diving. It helped a little, but not enough to be worthwhile. It appeared that any further improvement would need a longer bowsprit, which would prevent balancing the rig. But recently someone has mentioned building a ketch. This made me realize that the bowsprit could be lengthened if a small mizzensail was added, hoisted on a second mast mounted on the transom. Therefore I did some testing to see how long a bowsprit is needed.
The test set-up consists of 2 picnic benches, a pencil, a string, and a large fan. The picnic benches are facing each other, with a gap of about an inch between them. This allows dropping the keel of the test hull between the benches. The test hull is balanced on a pencil which spans the gap between the benches. The fan is placed on the benches and blows wind into the sails. The string is tied to the rudder to keep the hull from sliding forward from the wind pressure.
The initial testing showed that the balance point moved forward about an inch when the fan was turned on. However, this was not a very useful measure, since this was outdoors, and there was always a slight wind blowing, which made it difficult to get an accurate calibration. So I moved the keel weight fore and aft, varying the position of the balance point, until I found a balance point where tthe wind made no difference, and the fan made no difference, the hull would just sit there. The end result was that the bowsprit needed to be lengthened significantly (started at 9", increased to 13").
Correlation to expected results
I had made some calculations, using a free body diagram as in Physics 101, which indicated that a bowsprit of 11" would be needed. So the results are at least in the general ballpark
The tested sail has a 45 deg luff angle, with a 17.5" leech and a 17.5" foot. It is mounted to a club which has a swivel attachment to the end of the bowsprit about 25% aft of the tack. The club is counterweighted so it will swing out easily.
This is not a very accurate procedure, for several reasons enumerated below, however it may be sufficient for the intended purpose.
The wind created by the fan is probably quite turbulent, but the flow across a stalled sail going downwind is also probably turbulent, so it may not matter too much.
The wind created by the fan is not uniform across the sail, which will cause some inaccuracy. An enclosed tunnel, with a screen at the input end and the fan at the output end, would be better, but would be quite large.
On a boat in the water, the wind flow off the bottom of the sail will be blocked by the water. This is approximated by the existence of the picnic benches under the boat.

Welcome to our website bringing you news of Fairtrade in Stockport
Stockport became a Fairtrade borough in 2003 and since then the Fairtrade Group has been working to raise awareness of Fairtrade in the local area.
Our website has been welcomed by Navendu Mishra, MP for Stockport, who says “I wish to acknowledge the important work of the Stockport Fairtrade group in maintaining Stockport’s status as a Fairtrade town. The group’s hard work and commitment over many years has ensured Fairtrade products are stocked and sold in Stockport, as well as educating residents about the benefits of Fairtrade.
The Christmas Fair Trade Fair is a highlight in the Stockport events calendar, and it’s great to see the event well-supported by residents every year. I’m pleased that the Fairtrade Foundation has recognised the impact of your voluntary work and made Stockport Fairtrade group ‘community of the month’ in December 2019. The award was very much deserved. Congratulations, and thank you for everything you do for the local Fairtrade movement.The Fairtrade principle is important to me too, and I am a long-standing supporter of Fairtrade. I will support it in Parliament wherever I can. ”
Stockport Fairtrade Group is ensuring that the Stockport community has made a commitment to supporting Fairtrade by supporting disadvantaged farmers and workers in developing countries.

Early Childhood Education.
During their early years, children go through critical stages of development, and consistent, high-quality early childhood education can have long-lasting, beneficial effects on the overall development of children. Choosing a preschool in which your child will be loved and cared for is of utmost importance, of course. But it’s also important to select a preschool that will partner with your family to ensure your child’s healthy development throughout his or her early childhood education years.
Develop Interpersonal Skills
Helps a child to make friends and to co-operate with others.
Develop child’s patience to listen others and to share their ideas.
Make them responsible to understand others need as well as their own.
Doing better at school.
Children who take part regularly in quality ECE are likely to be confident and curious about the world, and this can help them do better when they go to school. ECE supports your child to:
Become resilient – to manage challenges and to stick at it when things get difficult
Settle more easily at school and to get the benefits of education more quickly.
Become life-long learners, for example:
Talking, singing, and listening to stories build children’s language skills and help them to love books and reading painting, dancing, making music, dressing up, and pretend play help to develop children’s imaginations and creativity.
Puzzles, number play, and counting games help children to understand math’s concepts.
Building or construction activities, helping to prepare food, caring for plants and animals, and playing with water and sand (measuring and mixing) support children to learn about math’s and science concepts.
Develop Cognitive Skills
Consistency in the preschool can significantly impact a child’s cognitive development. High-quality early childhood development programmes that provide developmentally appropriate curriculum, enable children to develop specific cognitive skills at the appropriate age. In addition, curriculum that incorporates developmental objectives ensure children follow a scope and sequence of age-appropriate developmental milestones throughout their time.

Police are hunting a racist who targeted a Fife family in a hate mail campaign.
The family, who are believed to be originally from Poland and live in the Abbeyview area of Dunfermline, received a letter containing racially offensive abuse on Wednesday last week.
The letter was put through the letterbox of their Lomond Crescent home at around 6.30pm.
Police Scotland is investigating the incident and has appealed for the public’s help in tracing whoever was responsible.
Sergeant Neil McGurk, of Dunfermline Police Station, said: “We’re appealing for anyone who has any information about this.
“Someone might have noticed a person delivering the letter around that time, or perhaps have other relevant information.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
The incident has shocked people living locally.
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “Most people who live in the street are really nice so when I heard about this I was quite surprised. It’s shocking.”
Shirley MacDonald, secretary of Abbeyview Community Council, said: “I’m shocked and saddened.
“I’ve got no time for bigots or racists and I would imagine the people of Abbeyview generally feel the same way.
“I have never heard of anything like that happening before and we’ve been here for 16 years.”
Over the April to July quarter last year, 139 hate crimes were recorded across Fife.
Police Scotland said it took all reports of hate crime seriously.
Chief Inspector Michael Stevens from Police Scotland’s Fife Division said: “Hate crime can have a significant impact on victims, families and the wider community and we take a zero tolerance approach towards anyone engaged in this type of offence.
“All of our officers are trained in dealing effectively with hate crime, including racism and religious prejudice offences and I can reassure communities that we treat every report with the utmost seriousness.”

Panto News: October 2017
Transformation is an integral aspect of any pantomime; from scenes that see beanstalks grow and pumpkins turn into carriages to the Dame appearing in a never-ending array of outfits. Change occurs everywhere. But the industry itself is also continually undergoing transformation as it evolves and in doing so survives year after year.
2017 will be the first season in over a decade in which such a grand transformation sequence has played out. First Family Entertainment is gone, Qdos Entertainment has grown and younger companies are spreading their wings and winning more and more venues.
With First Family Entertainment having firmly exited stage left, many of its key players are now working for other companies. Eric Potts will perform for Qdos in Darlington in addition to writing for Imagine Theatre's venues in Halifax and Kilmarnock, where he'll also direct. First Family Entertainment's Associate Producer Laura Taylor also joins Imagine Theatre as Head of Marketing and Business Development, having formerly worked for Qdos.
Previously Qdos loyalists, this year sees husband and wife Sam Kane and Linda Lusardi work for Imagine Theatre and Those Magic Beans. Kane hangs up his Principal Boy and Villain role to opt for that of Comic in Southport's Cinderella, where he'll also direct with Lusardi continuing her streak as one of Pantoland's finest Villains in Gravesend.
Having always championed the Dame, 2017 sees Those Magic Beans dispense with the traditional Damsel in a Dress for its Snow White in Sevenoaks, whilst previous Those Magic Beans regular Robert Pearce waves goodbye to the company and says 'Hello' to Camberley Theatre as Mrs Smee.
It's also all change in Greenwich, where resident Dame Andrew Pollard takes a year out from performing and directing but will continue to contribute the venue's script, whilst the New Wimbledon Theatre welcomes Hackney Empire regular Clive Rowe as Dame in perhaps the biggest casting coup of the season.
Dame-hopping can also be found at Loughborough Town Hall, where, due to producers Little Wolf Entertainment winning the contract for the Derby Arena, Morgan Brind leaves Loughborough to Dame it up in Derby alongside Gwen Taylor and CBeebies' Ben Faulks aka Mr Bloom in Beauty and the Beast.
Having taken a year out from Pantoland in 2016, Biggins returns to share his Twankey with Richmond, whilst Vikki Stone is warmly welcomed back to the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith as Fleshcreep in Jack and the Beanstalk for a second year of gender-bending villainy after last year's Abanazar. The Lyric's production will also embrace its second female Jack in the form of Faith Omole since Rochelle Rose took on the role in 2013.
Pantomime has always been playful with representations of gender and sexuality and 21st century Pantomime is no different. Julian Clary returns to the London Palladium to play the Spirit of the Bells in Dick Whittington alongside Lukus Alexander as Eileen the Cat, whilst Basildon welcomes what might just be the industry's first female Abanazar in the form of Sophie Ladds's Aunty Banazar at the Towngate Theatre.
Always leading the way in pantomime inventiveness, Johnny McKnight's seasonal treats include Chick Whittington at Macrobert Arts Centre, Stirling and Alice in Weegieland at the Tron, Glasgow with Dunfermline's Jack and the Beanstalk taking on a Wild West theme à la last year's in Norwich and Lincoln's Aladdin re-naming the veritable Widow Dame Donna Kebab.
With new titles and new names embracing the scene, relatively new companies KD Theatre Productions and Shone Productions continue to hold and add new venues to their portfolio. KD Theatre Productions will co-produce the Harlow Playhouse's Peter Pan whilst also taking on the Broadway Peterborough, whilst Shone Productions retains its five venues, having entered the industry with Snow White at the Middleton Arena in 2013.
Polka Dot Pantomimes continues to go from strenth to strength and become the first company to add Rapunzel to its stock of titles, whilst Parkwood Theatres equally grows in expertise having engaged the services of producer Lee Waddingham, previously of Paul Holman Associates. Parkwood Theatres now produces its pantomimes in-house, with Crawley its last venue to be staged by an external producer. Evolution Productions will produce Snow White at the Hawth Theatre this Christmas, whilst also adding the Grove Theatre, Dunstable to its portfolio.
And, whilst Easter pantos are now firmly on the calendar, Halloween pantos look set to secure the same seasonality: St Helen's Theatre Royal continues to stage its usual half term treat, Regal Entertainment's Wizard of Oz takes off on on tour, Curse of the Haunted Pirate Ship sets sail for Darlington and Nightmare on Panto Street looks set to haunt Telford.
With Halloween nearly here and November less than a month away, it won't be long before audiences are shouting "It's Behind You" and casts go into rehearsal ahead of 2017's festive season of silliness...

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Known for fielding a strong defensive side, the Santa Clara University men's soccer team turned in another outstanding effort defensively, limiting one of the league's best offensive teams to just three shots on goal and five corners en route to playing LMU to a 1-1 draw Friday in Los Angeles.
Santa Clara (3-6-3; 1-2-1 WCC) has played 12 matches - eight have been decided by one goal or less. It was the fourth double-overtime game for the Broncos in 2009. SCU has allowed just four goals in its last five matches.
"This was one of the best defensive games we've played this year and one of our best games overall," said Santa Clara Head Coach and former U.S. Olympic Team captain Cameron Rast. "We really played well in the second half and we had a chance with just seconds left and their goalkeeper made a great save."
Seven minutes into the match an LMU defender attempted a clear, but instead drilled a ball of SCU forward Ross Smith which ricocheted backwards and into the net, staking the Broncos to an early lead.
The Lions generated an equalizer moments after the intermission when Jonas Reiter headed-in a free kick by Logan McDaniel.
"The result wasn't unfair to either team," added Rast. "It was a good game. If we are playing solid defense we are not going to concede much at all. I was pleased that (LMU) was not able to get much going. I think it will build our confidence."
LMU (6-5-1; 1-2-1 WCC) had beat two Top 10 opponents during its non-conference schedule and opened league play with an overtime win over USF 3-2 on October 2. However, the Lions are now winless in its last three WCC matches.
The match saw 35 fouls called between the two teams. LMU was cited for all of the game's five cards.
The Broncos square off with league-leading USD Sunday at Torero Stadium in San Diego. Kick off is scheduled for 2 p.m. San Diego will be streaming live video Sunday on (www.USDToreros.com).

Edge Computing reduces possible kilobytes of data collected per second to only a few kilobytes of data transmitted to the public cloud every day.

While we have no information that can confirm any interest from the 400-year-old Japanese conglomerate, we do note unusually high options activity.
Average daily turnover of calls over the last 30 sessions has been 6,400 contracts, but more than 7,400 traded in the first 90 minutes of today's session alone. Much of the activity involves a large spread trading out in March.
