Lack of modern sophisticated agricultural machinery is one of the main reasons for domestic agricultural and industrial complex unprofitable operation. The problem has been indicated. The only thing left is to find efficient methods for the solution. That is where the problems start.
The Government Saves Agrarians in its Own Way
Methods called by the Government to rescue agrarians and measures that can be actually applied in the present market situation are principally different.
The bid of the Government on supplying the agrarians by manufacturing of domestic machinery can be most likely considered in a long-term perspective. Meanwhile, farmers have to seed and harvest crops nowadays already. The decay in the fleet of harvesters and field engines is exaggeraiting from year to year. This fact prevents harvesting in proper time and leads to considerable grain losses.
It is intended to purchase 2,300 grain harvesters (including 1,500 domestically manufactured machines) in the current year. By the way, last year 630 machines out of 2,760 purchased harvesters were made in Ukraine. These indices evidence unpopularity of locally produced harvesters and small chances that procurement of local machinery would drastically increase in 2003. There exist number of reasons for that. First of all, experience of manufacturing sophisticated agricultural technique is absent in Ukraine. Therefore quality of Ukrainian-made machinery is much less than that of foreign analogues. Secondly, industrial production of harvesters has not been tuned up yet leading to high cost of output. While some imported harvesters (Claas, Massey Ferguson, KUHN, John Deere, and others) are much more expensive than domestic ones, though they are considered more reliable, Russian-made Don and Enisey are superior to Ukrainian harvesters in terms of quality and often are cheaper. Even taking into consideration 30% rebate calculated upon cost of sophisticated agricultural technique that is paid by the Ukrainian Government to farmers purchasing Ukrainian-made machinery, our harvesters only equal to Russian machines in terms of price. At the same time, present tendency to create joint ventures could eliminate this price advantage, because production of joint ventures is also eligible for 30% reimbursement from the State budget.
In addition, the Government stakes on repairing of machinery already possessed by the farms. As said by Sergey Ryzhuk, Minister of Agrarian Policy, 4 ths. tractors are repaired per day nowadays. More machinery would be fixed by the beginning of seeding time than last year. Due to dilapidation of main harvesting fleet, even fixed ones would not be able to operate efficiently.
361 ths. tractors (field engines) 54 ths. of which are out of repair, 90 ths. of ploughs, 105 ths. of seåders, and other machinery would be employed at spring field works this year. Besides, Ukrainian agricultural farms are going to purchase agricultural machinery for the amount no less than UAH 1 bn in 2003. The figure of the last year made UAH 1.1 bn, including UAH 700 mn for locally made machinery. At the same time specialists estimate the annual requirements of Ukrainian agrarians in reequipment of machinery in UAH 3-4 bn. As calculated by Petr Sabluk, director of Institute of agrarian economics at Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences, if tempos of machinery supply would not change, agriculture would cease producing output by 2007.
Alternative Decisions Proposed by the Market
Obviously, the market was not brought to a stand waiting until the Government would supply machinery to agrarians. Joint ventures to manufacture machinery, machine and tractor stations, and companies trading with used foreign technique appear in the market.
At the moment two main Russian manufacturers, holding "Novoye Sodruzhestvo" (New commonwealth), owner of the controlling block of shares of the enterprise Rostselmash (60% of the Russian market) and Sibmashholding Krasnoyarsk harvester plant (30% of the market), compete for the Ukrainian market. Both holdings count on our market mostly due to the fact that recession in demand for harvesters is witnessed nowadays in Russia. Meanwhile, experts project that demand for Russian-made machinery would increase in the nearest three years in the CIS countries. Alexander Savostyanov, representative of "Novoye Sodruzhestvo", has estimated capacity of the market: "Russia produced 86 mn tons of grain last year, having reequipped the fleet of harvesters in the country by approximately 8,000 machines. At the same time, Ukraine has grown 40 mn tons of grain with replenishment of harvester fleet by only 1,500 units."
Experts note that positions of Sibmashholding have strengthened in Ukraine recently, because the company managed to propose machinery of higher quality. In response the management of "Novoye Sodruzhestvo" decided to reconsider weak points of Rostselmash output and to replace harvester's axle, the second important joint in the mechanism of harvester after its engine. There were a lot of claims on the quality of this unit.
Honorable transfer of the first six out of forty grain harvesters took place in March 20 at the border of Russian Federation and Ukraine. OJSC Rostselmash would deliver machinery to Lugansk region in March – April 2003 upon preliminary agreement.
As informed by press-service of "Novoye Sodruzhestvo", this agreement was attained during the visit of Lugansk region delegation to Rostov region in the end of the previous year. Administration of Lugansk region would reimburse its peasants 50% of banking loan rate to ease purchase new machinery. After harvesting Lugansk region plans to acquire forty Rostselmash harvesters more. (Rostselmash sold 28 harvesters to Ukrainian agrarians in 2000, 212 units in 2001 and 487 machines in 2002. 94 harvesters have been delivered to Ukraine this year – 78 units of "Don 1500B" and 16 machines of SK-5M Niva). About 550 harvesters are planned to deliver to Ukraine by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Sibmashholding takes serious steps to squeeze the competitor from the Ukrainian market where presence of Krasnoyarsk plant is still insignificant (Sibmashholding mainly supplies machinery to Kazakhstan). Sibmashholding and "Ukrainian industrial power engineering company" (UPEK) have reached the agreement on strategic partnership in agricultural machine building in the middle of February. As a result, assembling of Enisey harvesters would be organized at one of Ukrainian plants with the share of Ukrainian spare parts constituting no less than 50%. It would let domestic agrarians to purchase these units with reimbursement of 30% of cost. Besides, a model of base Ukrainian harvester adapted to Ukrainian conditions would be created on the basis of Enisey harvester. Sibmashholding would supply 100 machines annually, starting from 2003. Obviously, it is much less than deliveries of "Novoye Sodruzhestvo" company, but in the future positions of Sibmashholding are more beneficial.
Creation of machine and tractor stations could become another response of the market to present lack of grain harvesting machinery. However, cost of machine and tractor station's services would be too high in the opinion of Sergey Ryzhuk. Nevertheless, at present agrarians have to use these services. Enlargement of machine and tractor stations' number is projected in the future few years. Local businessmen started to invest capitals into them in 2002 having noticed possibility to gain profit.
Machine and tractor stations are equipped mainly by imported machinery, because it is important for the owners to use harvesters as long as possible during the season and in different regions of the country. Agricultural company can use its machinery two weeks a year, while machine and tractor stations provide harvesting services for two months or more ferrying units from region to region. Both Ukrainian and Russian harvesters would not stand such conditions of operation. Machine and tractor stations use powerful foreign machinery, though purchasing of used harvesters become more and more popular in Ukraine due to the high price of brand new machinery.
Nowadays issue of Ukrainian harvester existence still remains open. The chances are that this machine would be created applying Russian technologies and spare parts. As to industrial production of exclusively domestically made new machinery, this is a long-term perspective that can remain only a perspective in the conditions when Ukrainian market is intensively conquered by major Russian producers.
The list of major domestic manufacturers follows: State company "Malyshev plant" (harvesters of Obriy trademark), JSC Kherson harvesters (Slavutich trademark), and Lan Concern (Lan trademark). As reported by the State Statistics Committee, export of agricultural machinery constituted only 358 harvesters in 2002 (324 beet harvesters and 34 grain harvesters). OJSC Ternopol harvester plant (beet harvesters) and OJSC Kherson harvesters (corn harvesters) were the main exporters. Main deliveries of this machinery felt into Russia. 30 fodder choppers and 1,778 tractors were delivered in 2002. OJSC Kharkov Tank Plant and Yuzhmash are the main exporters. These machines were supplied both to Russia and the CIS countries. Import of agricultural machinery greatly exceeded its export in 2002. Thus, 1,403 harvesters were imported including 1,201 grain harvesters, and 202 beet harvesters and potato combines. The share of Russian import made 534 harvesters, while portion of Germany-made machinery reached 370 units. Mainly new units were supplied from Russia and used one from the West. 73 imported beet harvesters and potato combines were brought from Germany, 40 from Russia, and 30 from France. 134 fodder choppers were imported last year. 2,272 tractors were delivered to Ukraine in 2002, including 1,945 wheel tractors from Minsk Tractor Plant and 85 crawler tractors from Moldova.


Pastor Ize Iyamu, a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State, has denied quitting the governorship race, ahead of the party’s primary election.
Ize Iyamu made the remark in response to reports that he dropped out, ahead of the party’s primary election.
A statement by his spokesperson, John Mayaki described the report as false.
The governorship aspirant insisted that the claim was being circulated by those afraid to face him during the upcoming election.
He said: “We want to clarify to members of the public that the laughable report claiming that Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu has dropped out of the APC governorship race and demanded a refund is completely false.
“It is a deliberate falsehood created and circulated by those who are afraid to confront him at the polls and are thus seeking ways to cause confusion and mislead the people.
“Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu enjoys swelling support from party members across the 18 LGAs of the state. Therefore, he has no reason to quit the race.”
Ize-Iyamu had a few days ago maintained that he was a bonafide member of the ruling APC, stressing that those disputing his membership of the party were only engaging in fruitless exercise.

*India imported 4.43mn b/d of crude in the first nine months of 2019, down both on 9M18 (4.49mn b/d) and on the full-year 2018 figure of 4.51mn b/d. As such 2019 is on track for the first year-on-year fall in well over a decade (see table).
*Despite the overall fall, India is taking more from each of its top two suppliers, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. At 998,000 b/d for 9M19, Iraq is up almost 5% year-on-year (MEES, 27 September); Saudi is up 8.6% at 844,000 b/d.

Will the Attorney General continue to represent and protect a convicted criminal in court?
NASSAU| Johnathan Ash’s bar, which he operated in breach of the liquor License Act, was not in possession of a valid business license at the time Ash was caught operating said bar in violation of the Emergency Orders.
The Crown’s Star Witness in Witness Protection had cleared out the shop a day after he was charged. However, when Customs returned Tuesday, after surveilling the operation, they found all the items had been returned. Customs officers took all the liquor away after he failed to prove he paid any customs for the items in the store.
Ash has a history of defrauding Customs and engaging police. You will recall his business dealings with Dionisio D’Aguilar when goods were imported and Customs defrauded. Ya see ya think we forgot that eh?
What a criminal!
Here is a man who Carl Bethel’s team coached in a trial against a former Cabinet Minister. A man the AG Office agreed to pay $30,000 a month for what they claimed was unpaid debt. A man Carl Bethel is now representing in a matter brought by attorneys representing Shane Gibson. And how does a CROWN WITNESS ends up selling rum when the country is in an Emergency Lockdown?
The question is whether Ash will be charged with a new offense for operating without a license? And if yes, WHEN?
What is interesting is that Ash told the magistrate that he was not the operator of the business and that he was collecting money for a friend.
So the Customs Department, with the assistance of the police, needs to find out who is the real owner since Ash told the court that he’s not the owner! Who is it asking for their seized liquor from Customs?
Jonathan Ash’s corrupt ways prove he clearly has the country in his back pocket!
We report yinner decide!

Jimm Vending, a one-route operation in Anaheim, Calif., uses the Smart Waiter elevator delivery system from Wurlitzer USA to vend all types of products. The machine accommodates any type of package, noted Mary Arteaga, co-owner, including the tall, thin Red Bull energy drink. Jimm Vending vends fresh food, cold food, milk, juice and energy drinks in the machine, and has never had any temperature control issues.
Arteaga said she likes the fact that the machine has greater capacity than most glassfront food machines, and is easy for the customer to operate.
Some operators raise the same objection to these new combo concepts that have kept earlier combo units from becoming commonplace: operational inefficiency.
"It's going to be an awfully low volume account, and you're going to have to service it more often," said Dale Lund, operations manager at Theisen Vending in Minneapolis, Minn. He sees this as a concept for the very small operator. "It just wouldn't work for us," he said.
Some operators are discouraged by experiences with older combo machines. "What it does is dramatically restrict your variety of both snacks and soda," said Stan Glassco, general manager of Don's Vending in Livonia, Mich. "When you restrict your capacity and variety, you reduce your sales."
Glassco said it makes more sense to put in full size machines and service them less often. "If they gave you the machine for free, you're worse off taking those locations," he said. "The answer isn't to reduce the capacity of your equipment but to lose the labor."
Glassco said the equipment cost represents only about 5 percent of the total cost of doing business while the labor accounts for 20 percent. "You should address the savings in the biggest expense category."
With the marketplace moving to smaller locations, vending operators are finding
a greater need for more
versatile equipment. As operators begin to work with these new systems, they will develop new operating models to provide optimum service frequency.

SavvyCAN is ideal for analyzing raw and/or DBC decoded CAN bus data.
You can load the raw CLX000 log files (
TXT) or stream CAN data via USB.
Table of Contents
Windows: Download below build (which includes the CLX000 plugin).
Linux: Download below build and copy the CLX000 plugin into the
- Setup the CLX000 to stream CAN data (see the Stream section)
- Click ‘Connection/Open Connection Window/Add New Device Connection’
- Select the ‘QT SerialBus Devices’, set the type to
clx000canand select the relevant COM port
- Click ‘Create New Connection’ - the raw data stream should now appear in the main window
To load a raw
TXT log, click File/Load Log File, select the CLX000 format and load your file.
To load a DBC file, click File/DBC File Manager/Load and set the ID match criteria (
Below we outline a number of key functionalities of the main window:
- Auto Scroll Window: Toggle if the window should scroll with the data (streaming only)
- Overwrite Mode: Show only a single line for each unique ID (with the latest frame information)
- Interpret Frames: Use the loaded DBC to decode matched frames (see the Data column)
- Frame Filtering: Show/hide specific CAN IDs
Below we outline some of the ‘RE Tools’ that can be useful for analysis or reverse engineering. For a more detailed documentation, see the above links for the official docs and intro video.
This lets you plot specific CAN signals either real-time (for streamed data) or based on a log file. Simply right click the plot and select ‘Add new graph’. You can select a signal based on your DBC file, or you can manually add one. You can also right-click the graph to reset the view and/or follow the end of the graph (for streaming).
This tool is very similar to the Wireshark ‘CAN Live IDs’. It shows you the unique CAN IDs and helps identify changing bits/bytes - e.g. in response to physical events you perform while streaming data. It is ideal for reverse engineering state parameters (open/closed, on/off, …).
This is a great tool for reverse engineering continuous parameters like speed, RPM, SoC% etc. You add your hypothesis on the signal details (CAN ID(s), length, …) and press ‘Recalculate Candidate Signals’. The tool then produces plots for all possible signals that match your criteria.
This view lets you control the playback of a log file (or an active CAN stream) to analyze changes to bits and bytes. Bits will be colored based on changes vs. the start of the session/log or vs. the previous frame (toggle via ‘Auto Reference’). The tool is useful for e.g. reverse engineering if you’re looking for correlating specific events or patterns.
Frame Data Analysis
This lets you analyze the CAN frames in your data using histograms, e.g. to understand the distribution of specific data bytes throughout a log file.
As of Firmware 5.85, you can freely control the CLX000 CAN frame transmit functionality in real-time. This can be done via custom script integrations (see the CLX000 Docs), or via the SavvyCAN ‘Send Frames’ tools. Below we describe the relevant tools in brief.
Transmitting data via CAN bus can be dangerous. Do not transmit data into your CAN bus unless your setup is safe and you are 100% sure that you know what you are doing. This is particularly so for the Playback and Fuzzing tools.
Custom frame sender
This tool lets you specify one or more custom CAN frames to be transmitted by the CLX000. You can fully control the ID, payload, transmit frequency - and even apply advanced functions.
The Playback window lets you load a CAN bus log file (e.g. from your CLX000) - and replay it back onto a CAN bus. This can be useful in e.g. reverse engineering use cases or if you want to use the CLX000 as a simulation device.
The fuzzing window can be used to transmit “controlled randomness” onto the CAN bus. We mainly recommend using this for simulation purposes or for highly controlled reverse engineering, as sending random CAN data into e.g. a vehicle is dangerous.

|||For some CLX000 log file formats, the SavvyCAN file format ‘auto-detect’ feature may work, in which case you can simply directly load the log files without first selecting the CLX000 format via the dropdown.|
|||Note that for J1939 signals, you’ll need to manually overwrite the CAN ID to ensure it matches the exact 29-bit CAN ID in your data. The Graph Data does not currently implement the J1939 match type that is used in the main window. Further, for OBD2 data the plot tool is not ideal as it does not yet support multiplexing - as such it will only yield useful plots if your data contains only a single OBD2 PID|
|||The tool plots the decimal values of the extracted bits based on your criteria (using an offset of 0 and a scale factor of 1). To get the final signal, you’ll need to identify how to offset/scale the chart, though this is typically a fairly simple task. The tool is ideal for post processing - e.g. if you’ve logged data during a trip while you’ve made timestamped notes of the physically observable values (e.g. speed in km/h). Your notes can be used to produce a ‘rough graph’, which can then be compared vs the suggested signal plots|

Colby Lewis last started a big-league game on July 18, 2012, missing the past one-and-a-half seasons following elbow and hip surgeries, but he’s ready to return now.
T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports that Lewis will rejoin the Rangers’ rotation Saturday against the Astros, essentially taking the spot created when Joe Saunders injured his ankle while filling in for Texas’ other injured starters.
Before being derailed by surgeries Lewis was a very solid mid-rotation starter for the Rangers, tossing 506 innings–including back-to-back 200-inning seasons–with a 3.93 ERA and 8.1 strikeouts per nine innings.
It’s tough predict what Lewis is capable of after so much time off, but he allowed four runs in five innings in a minor-league rehab start Sunday at Triple-A. Two of the runs were unearned, but he issued three walks compared to two strikeouts and odds are the Rangers wouldn’t be turning to him this soon if not for other injuries wrecking their rotation.

Chronic diseases are defined as conditions lasting one year or longer, require ongoing medical attention, and/or limit daily activities. Today, chronic diseases affect millions of Americans and drive over $1 trillion dollars of annual healthcare costs. Beyond direct healthcare expenditures, research indicates the indirect costs of the chronic disease burden from lost economic productivity exceed $3.7 trillion – almost 20% of the US GDP.
While historically challenging, chronic disease management has become even more difficult amid the coronavirus pandemic. Patients are limiting their interactions with the healthcare system and care has shifted to virtual platforms. Providers must implement strategies to proactively engage patients with chronic diseases to manage ongoing care and prevent exacerbation and avoidable cost in the future.
The lasting pandemic creates an opportunity for the development of new care models and innovative solutions that address longstanding challenges that are particularly acute among chronic disease patients, such as medication adherence, care coordination, and inequitable access. Such strategies will set the foundation for long-term transformation that will ultimately drive improved patient outcomes and population health.

Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Subject: File No. S7-33-02
Dear Mr. Katz:
This letter provides comments on the recently proposed rules (the "Rules") of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding "Certification of Management Investment Company Shareholder Reports and Designation of Certified Shareholder Reports as Exchange Act Periodic Reporting Forms." We at A I M Advisors Inc. ("AIM")1 appreciate this opportunity to comment on the Rules and hope that the comments provided in this letter, as well as those provided by the Investment Company Institute ("ICI") and other mutual fund complexes, will be useful to the SEC.
In light of the recent corporate scandals involving apparent misappropriations, accounting fraud and other accounting irregularities, which we believe have undermined investor confidence, AIM fully supports the purposes that are intended to be achieved by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"). We also recognize and appreciate the enormous pressure that has been placed on the SEC by Congress to adopt rules that will implement the Act in such a short period of time. However, we would stress the importance of carefully constructing the Rules in a manner that takes into account the existing regulatory framework of, as well as the internal controls involved with operating, registered investment companies. With this framework in mind, below are AIM's responses to the SEC's request for comments regarding the Rules.
SEC Request No. 1: Comment was requested on a proposal to require certified shareholder reports to be filed on Form N-CSR and to designate these reports as reports that are required under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
We support the proposal to amend Rule 30b2-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), to require registered management investment companies to file a report with the SEC on a new Form N-CSR. The new Form N-CSR would include a copy of any required shareholder report provided pursuant to Rule 30e-1 under the 1940 Act. We believe that this approach proposed by the SEC is consistent with the purpose of the certification requirement (as noted in the proposing release for the Rules, the "certification requirement was intended to improve the quality of the disclosure that a company provides about its financial condition in its periodic reports to investors").
We do not support the proposal to file the certification on both Form N-SAR and the proposed Form N-CSR. Instead, we suggest amending the certification requirement so that it applies only to new Form N-CSR. We believe that application of the certification requirement to both forms would not advance the purpose of the certification requirement, as noted above, and that the imposition of such a duplicative requirement on investment companies would be overly burdensome. Form N-SAR, as you are aware, is a data gathering form that is not sent to investors. The information contained in Form N-SAR: (1) does not contain financial statements and (2) is not compiled in a manner that could be easily read by an investor, even if read in conjunction with the financial statements of an investment company. As a result, we believe that certification of the N-SAR would not improve the quality of disclosure that investment companies provide about their financial condition in periodic reports to investors. Moreover, imposing the requirement to certify a document that is not supplied to investors is clearly not contemplated by the Act and is certainly more onerous than requirements that are being imposed upon operating companies. Therefore, we would recommend that the certification requirement be eliminated in Form N-SAR. For these same reasons, we believe that the certification requirement in Form N-SAR for unit investment trusts and small business investment companies should be eliminated also.
SEC Request No. 2: Comment was requested on the scope of the certification requirement.
We believe that the certification requirement should only apply to the financial statements, including the related notes to the financial statements and the condensed financial information, that is required to be included in the annual and semi-annual reports ("shareholder reports"). Any non-financial information that is contained in shareholder reports, including the Management's Discussion and Fund Performance ("MDFP") and the letter to shareholders, should not be covered by the certification required by the Act. We believe that subjecting voluntary and "opinion-type" information to the certification requirement will only have the effect of fund complexes choosing not to include voluntary information in shareholder reports that is otherwise relevant and of interest. In addition, subjective opinions of portfolio managers would have to be excluded from shareholder reports as it is not the type of information that can be certified. We believe that such a result is not in the best interest of investors.
SEC Request No. 3: Comment was requested on whether to amend Form N-SAR to require all registered investment companies to include the certification required by the Act regardless of whether they are subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Comment was also requested on the proposal to require management investment companies to file certified shareholder reports on Form N-CSR regardless of whether they are subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
As indicated above, we do not believe that including the certification in Form N-SAR is consistent with the intent of the Act or the purpose of the certification requirement. We believe it would be appropriate to designate Form N-SAR as a filing made pursuant to the 1940 Act exclusively.
SEC Request No. 4: Comment was requested on the proposal to require all registered investment companies to maintain disclosure controls and procedures with respect to all filings under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Exchange Act, and 1940 Act.
We believe that requiring investment companies to maintain disclosure controls and procedures with respect to all filings under the Securities Act and the 1940 Act would impose requirements that are beyond the scope and the intent of the Act and would be overly burdensome. Accordingly, we do not support such a proposal.
We believe it is consistent with the intent of the Act and the purpose of the certification requirement, as well as general disclosure standards under federal securities laws, to require investment companies to maintain appropriate internal controls, rather than "disclosure controls and procedures," to ensure the accuracy of the financial information contained in Exchange Act filings that contain financial statements.2
We have serious concerns about requiring the maintenance of "disclosure controls and procedures." These concerns are based on the lack of formal guidance as to the meaning and scope of this new concept introduced by the SEC, "disclosure controls and procedures." Although this term is defined in recently adopted Rule 30a-2(c), we believe that the definition is overly broad and vague, and is not particularly helpful in determining what sorts of disclosure controls and procedures will be required. We believe that this new term has created much confusion and uncertainty throughout the investment management industry. Section 302 of the Act specifically refers to having adequate "internal controls," a term commonly used and known in the investment management industry, to ensure that principal executive officers and principal financial officers are aware of material information. AIM and, I am quite certain, other asset management complexes have expended significant resources in an attempt to decipher the practical meaning of this new term. Nonetheless, through conversations with colleagues at other asset management firms and discussions with outside counsel, we feel comfortable in asserting that there is no clear consensus in the industry as to the practical meaning and scope of this new term.
Moreover, we have identified a source of confusion in recently adopted Rule 30a-2 with regard to the use of the term "disclosure controls and procedures." Rule 30a-2(a) requires that certain officers of investment companies make certain certifications in the Form N-SAR filed by such companies. Rule 30a-2(b)(4) requires that these certifications include a statement that the certifying officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures. Rule 30a-2(b)(4)(i) further requires these certifications to include a statement that the certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of such disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form N-SAR. In addition, Rule 30a-2(b)(5) requires these certifications to include a statement that the certifying officers have disclosed, based on their most recent evaluation, to the investment company's auditors and the audit committee all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the investment company's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data, and that such certifying officers have identified for the auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls. We believe that it is unclear whether the term "most recent evaluation" in Rule 30a-2(b)(5) refers to the evaluation of the investment company's disclosure controls and procedures that is required to be made pursuant to Rule 30a-2(b)(4)(ii) or if it refers to a separate, unrelated evaluation of the investment company's internal controls. We request that the SEC resolve this confusion by clarifying what is meant by the reference to "most recent evaluation" in Rule 30a-2(b)(5).
We request that until the SEC provides more clarification as to the meaning and scope of this new term or until the SEC revises the certification, the SEC should extend the transitional provisions contained in the SEC's Release Nos. 33-8124, 34-46427, and IC-25722, which, in essence, required that certifying officers only make the first three certifications called for under Rule 30a-2(b)(1) to (3).
SEC Comment No. 5: Comment was requested on the anticipated compliance date.
We believe it would be appropriate to provide more than thirty (30) days after adoption of the Rules to allow investment companies to come into compliance with such Rules. We believe it would be appropriate to provide ninety (90) days after adoption of the Rules to allow investment companies to come into compliance with such Rules.

Effect of plant materials on microbial transformation of amino sugars in three soil microcosms
- 483 Downloads
Amino sugars, being predominantly of microbial origin, can help elucidate the role of microbes in carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils. However, little is known about the microbial degradation and synthesis of soil amino sugars as affected by plant-derived organic materials. We conducted a 30-week microcosm study using three soils amended with soybean leaf or maize stalk to investigate changes in the amounts and patterns of amino sugars over time. The total soil amino sugar content initially increased during the incubation, but later decreased. Amino sugar content of soil amended with maize stalk peaked at an earlier time than it did for soybean leaf, suggesting nutrient quantity and substrate composition influence microbial transformation. Temporal dynamics of the proportion of total soil amino sugar to organic matter after plant material addition conformed to parabolic models (r > 0.8; p < 0.01), which tended to converge over time. The models predicted that the proportions would ultimately approach the initial values as determined before amendment. These findings suggest that soil organic matter has the ability to maintain a baseline steady-state level of amino sugars, and support the interpretation of soil amino sugar reservoir as two components: the Stable Pool (SP) and the Transition Pool (TP).

Skeletal System, Muscular System, and Integumentary System Chapter 37 Skeletal System Structures Bones Tendons Ligaments Cartilage Skeletal System Functions: Provides framework for body tissues. Protect internal organs including the heart, lung, and brain. Efficient movement. Produces blood cells. Storehouse for minerals, including calcium and phosphorus. Skeletal System 206 bones in a human body Two parts – Axial skeleton—skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum – Appendicular Skeleton— arms, legs, shoulders, pelvic girdle (hip) Bone Structure—pg 851 Osteoblast—bone cell Compact Bone—layer of hard bone surrounding every bone Spongy Bone—less dense bone filled with holes and spaces Bone Marrow—fills the center cavity of a bone. Produces blood cells. Found in long bones of the arms and legs. Joints pg 854 Joints—where two bones meet. – Ball and socket joint—shoulder and hip – Pivot joint—top of spine (turning of head) – Hinge joint—Elbows, knuckles of fingers and toes – Gliding joint—wrists and ankles – Saddle joint—base of thumbs Arthritis—joint disease caused by inflammation of the joints Ligaments—tough connective tissue that connects bone to bone. Tendons—tough connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. Bone Growth Bones grow in both length and diameter. Growth in length occurs at the ends of the bones and growth in diameter occurs on the outer surface of the bone. By the age of 20, 98% of the growth of the skeleton is complete. Homeostasis, Aging, and the Skeletal System Remodel themselves—some cells deposit calcium while other remove it. This remodeling of the skeleton occurs as you age, gain or lose weight, or change your level of activity. This process keeps the bones from becoming thick and heavy. Bone cells are involved in the process of repair when a bone is broken. The composition of bone changes as a person ages. Bones tend to become more brittle as their composition changes with age. Osteoporosis is most common in older women because they produce lesser amounts of a hormone that aids in bone formation. Muscular System Structure and Function: Structure: – Skeletal muscle – Smooth muscle – Cardiac muscle Function: – Locomotion – Circulate blood – Move food through the digestive system Three Types of Muscles Smooth Muscle—found in internal organs and blood vessels. The most common function of smooth muscle is to squeeze, exerting pressure on the space inside the tube or organ it surrounds (ex digestive tract and reproductive tract). These contractions are not under conscious control, so smooth muscle is an example of an involuntary muscle. Cardiac Muscle—is found only in the heart, and is adapted to conduct the electrical impulses necessary for rhythmic contraction. Example of an involuntary muscle. Skeletal Muscle—is the type of muscle that is attached to bone and moves the skeleton. Makes up the largest mass of muscle in the body. A muscle that contracts under conscious control is called voluntary muscle. Skeletal Muscle Contraction pg 858-859 When a muscle contracts, the bones are pulled by tendons. Each cylindrical muscle fiber is made up of smaller fibers called myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of even smaller protein filaments. Filaments can be either thick or thin. The thick filaments are made of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are made of the protein actin. The arrangement of myosin and actin gives skeletal muscle its striated appearance. Each section of a myofibril is called a sarcomere and is the functional unit of muscle. Sliding filament theory—states that the actin filaments within the sarcomere slide toward one another during contraction. The myosin filaments do not move. Muscle Strength and Exercise Muscle strength depends on the thickness of fibers and many of them contract at one time. Regular exercise stresses muscle fibers slightly, and to compensate for this added workload, the fibers increase in size. The number of fibers in a muscle is fixed before we are born. Integumentary System Skin—largest organ Hair Nails Sweat glands Oil glands Integumentary System Structure and Function of the Skin Epidermis—the outer layer of skin composed of both dead and living cells The outer dead epidermal cells contain a protein called keratin that helps water proof and protect the living cell layers underneath. The inner living layer contains melanin a cell pigment that colors the skin and protects the cells from damage by solar radiation. Fingerprints Scalp Slide Integumentary System Structure and Function of the Skin Dermis—the inner, thicker layer of skin Contains: blood vessels, nerves, nerve endings, sweat glands, and oil glands. Fat deposits that lie underneath the dermis in the subcutaneous layer cushion the body, insulate and help the body retain heat, and store food for long periods of time. Hair grows out of narrow cavities in the dermis called hair follicles. As hair follicles develop, they are supplied with blood vessels and nerves and become attached to muscle tissue. Skin Helping Maintain Homeostasis regulate body temperature – hot blood vessels dilate heat released – cold blood vessels constrict heat conserved Glands in the dermis produce sweat in response to increases in body temperature. As sweat evaporates, the body cools. Protective layer to underlying tissues--Skin protects the body from physical and chemical damage and from the invasion of microbes. Sense organ—nerves cells in the dermis receive stimuli from the environment and relay information about pressure, pain, and temperature. Skin Injury and Restoration of Homeostasis Cuts – When small injuries occur to the epidermis, such as a scrape, epidermal cells divide by mitosis and fill in the gap left by the abrasion. – Larger cuts—blood flows out of the wound until a clot forms, scab forms, skin cells beneath the scab begin to multiply and fill in the gap. Burns – 1st degree—redness and mild pain and involve the death of epidermal cells. – 2nd degree—involves damage to skin cells of the dermis and can result in blistering and scarring. – 3rd degree—destroy the epidermis and dermis, skin function is lost and re-growth of the skin is slow with much scarring. Aging – increase in wrinkles and sagging. Wrinkles appear because the skin becomes less elastic with age. The oil glands produce less oil and the skin becomes drier. Super Human Facts The skeleton of an average 160 pound body weighs about 29 pounds. The skin is your largest organ. Weighing about 6 pounds. The average adult stands 0.4 inch taller in the morning than in the evening, because the cartilage in the spine compresses during the day. The strongest bone in the body is the thigh bone. The average person sheds about 1 and a half pounds of skin each year. There are 22 bones in the adult human skull. There are 230 joints in the human body. No one truly has double joints. Man has tiny bones once meant for a tail and unworkable muscles once meant to move his ears. The bones in the human body are comprised of 22 percent water. There are approximately 250,000 sweat glands in your feet, and they sweat as much as 8 ounces of moisture per day The average square inch of skin holds 650 sweat glands, 20 blood vessels, 60,000 melanocytes (pigment cells), and more than a thousand nerve endings. There are about 2 million sweat glands in the average human body. The average adult loses 540 calories with every liter of sweat. Men sweat about 40 percent more than women.

GAMBLING machines the State Government has approved for Crown Casino as ''table games'' are already operating in suburban pubs and clubs as pokies.
In a move described by problem gambling campaigners as ''bizarre'', the same electronic gaming machines will remain defined as poker machines for suburban venues, but will become table games at Crown, which cannot expand its pokies beyond its limit of 2500 machines.
The different definition of the machines for the casino is likely to again spark allegations of special treatment for Victoria's monopoly casino.
Premier John Brumby has defended a deal struck in May with Crown granting the casino its biggest gambling capacity increase in a decade in exchange for more tax revenue by saying it will not increase problem gambling because there will be no additional poker machines.
Instead, Crown will be able to increase its number of table games such as roulette and blackjack, including the introduction of ''fully automated table games''.
But Victoria's gambling regulator has already approved the use of the fully automated table games at three suburban venues as poker machines. Roulette multi-terminal gaming machines are in use at the Bayswater Hotel, Box Hill RSL and Melton Country Club.
An employee at one venue said the machines ''look just the same [as poker] machines, they just take a little longer to spin''.
Mark Zirnsak from the InterChurch Gambling Taskforce said the different definition of the machines to suit the different venues was ''truly bizarre''.
''This is exactly the concern we had about this being a foot in the door to get around the statewide cap [27,500 in pubs and clubs and 2500 in the casino] on electronic gaming machines,'' he said.
Rebecca Harrison, spokeswoman for Gaming Minister Tony Robinson, said there were two separate regulatory regimes governing gaming operations in Victoria. She said the Victorian Commission for Gambling Regulation approved the ''Vegas Star Roulette'' for use as a gaming machine because it considered it met all the technical requirements for a gaming machine under the Gambling Regulation Act.
The commission has confirmed that if Crown Casino applied to use Vegas Star Roulette it would be counted as a table game - not additional gaming machines.
Ms Harrison denied that defining the machines as table games at the casino would allow the casino to circumvent its cap of 2500 electronic gaming machines.
Opposition gaming spokesman Michael O'Brien said it was ''inconceivable that the exact same form of gambling can be both a gaming machine and a table game''. Mr O'Brien played one of the multi-terminal machines yesterday and said it was more like a poker machine than a table game.

It’s that time of the year again… Happy Book Lover’s Day, everyone!
August 9 is a day for bibliophiles, bookworms and reading addicts around the world to celebrate their love of books. Although it is an unofficial holiday, people never run out of fun ways to commemorate this day — from visiting libraries and bookstores, re-reading old favorites, hosting parties and book clubs, showcasing awesome bookshelves and book hauls, recommending must-reads, and many more. Did the quarantine help you pursue your bookish delights?
The first two quarters of the year were productive for me. I’ve read more books than I had last year which is an incredible feat. But, halfway through June, work started piling up. It dragged on and to this day, I haven’t had a decent read.
So, for now, I’m sharing my personal pet peeves and fetish when it comes to reading. Can any of you relate?
- Interruptions while reading
- Having no one to talk to after reading an awesome book
- Plot changes in movie adaptations
- Careless borrowers
- When a book got the movie poster as cover
- When someone judges a book without reading it
- Having your dream bookshelves
- The scent of a book
- Paperback copies
- Preloved books
- Highlighting favorite quotes/intriguing lines
- A good book hug after a good read
- Making your own bookmarks
- When you have a complete copy of your favorite series
- Covering books

The Alabama House of Representatives has passed a bill that would require mandatory jail time for people charged with rioting, legislation the sponsor said is needed to respond to organized efforts to cause violence at protests.
The bill passed by a vote of 75-27 and moves to the Senate.
Opponents said the bill would stifle peaceful protests, partly because they say the bill would give police the authority to arrest people on the assumption that they pose a risk.
Rep. Allen Treadaway, R-Morris, disputed that and said his bill would not infringe on First Amendment freedoms.
It was the second bill of the day that carried strong support from the Republican majority and opposition from Democratic lawmakers.
Earlier, the House passed a bill to repeal the requirement for a permit to carry a concealed handgun.
Treadaway said he is sponsoring the bill because of the violence that erupted during a protest in Birmingham in 2020, part of the wave of unrest after the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.
Treadaway, who retired as assistant chief of police for Birmingham last year, said the riot was planned and funded by people from outside Birmingham. Treadaway said the state needs stronger laws to respond to such organized efforts.
People arrested for rioting could be held for up to 24 hours before posting bail. People convicted of rioting, a misdemeanor, would face a mandatory 30-day jail time.
Treadaway’s bill would create new penalties for assaults on police and other emergency workers that would carry mandatory jail time.
Rep. A.J. McCampbell, D-Gallion, said he was concerned that people engaged in only peaceful protests could be arrested because other bad actors cause a riot.
Rep. Chris England, D-Tuscaloosa, said the bill was dangerous because it would have a chilling effect on protests. England said people could be arrested on the assumption that they pose a danger when they have done nothing to justify that.
The ACLU of Alabama issued a statement tonight opposing the bill.
“It is alarming that the House passed a bill today that would allow for the indiscriminate arrest and mandatory minimum holding period for anyone who is even suspected of endangering property, regardless of whether any damage is actually done,” Dillon Nettles, director of police and advocacy for the organization said. “This is a dangerously slippery slope leading towards the complete undermining of our constitutional right to protest.”
The House, in a decision made by the Republican majority, set aside its normal rules today and limited debate on bills to two hours.
Democrats said that was a disservice to the public and hurt their ability to represent their constituents.

Active substances: 1.5 mg of GHRP-6 and 0.5 mg of CJC-1295;
VERMOMIX BODY MASS (Peptide Mix) is used to amplify growth hormone pulse. Increased GH and IGF-1 levels are desirable for those looking to improve physique. Human growth hormone has also been known to enhance immune response and stimulate the immune system.
GHRP-6 is a peptide in the growth factor family. It has strong effect on the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) in a specific and dose-related manner. GHRP can be effectively used in the treatment of growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Enhanced HGH secretion also leads to the liver secreting more IGF-1, which is thought to be the primary anabolic mechanism of action of Growth Hormone.
CJC-1295 is a synthetic modification of growth hormone releasing factor. This is a long acting growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH). Early results show great potential for weight loss, anti-aging (skin tone) and muscle mass. Another potential benefit of CJC1295 is its ability to help increase slow wave sleep. Slow wave sleep is the portion of sleep where the highest amount of memory retention and muscle growth takes place.
