The world watched on with disgust as R&B singer R. Kelly was found guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering women, girls and boys. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Kelly’s calculated and carefully planned crimes were regularly executed for almost 25 years, subjecting underage victims to perverse and sadistic whims, enslavement and violence.
Kelly follows powerful men like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and other prominent abusers in being sentenced to time in prison (although Cosby was acquitted on appeal on a technicality). It is a sickening tale, what but good can be gained from this prolific serial predator?
Here are 10 lessons we can learn from R. Kelly.
1. HURTING PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE
Kelly was sexually abused as a child by a family member. This is somewhat unsurprising, as it is common for people who were sexually abused during their formative ages to later replicate their experiences on others. As the anonymous quote says, “beware the unloved.” This is by no means an excuse for Kelly’s conduct , but we’d like to suggest that it’s possible to feel sorry for six-year-old Robert being abused by a relative who should have been taking care of him, protecting him and loving him… while at the same time being livid about Kelly’s own abuse to others.
2. POVERTY & CAPITALISM
Poverty creates a cycle of oppression. Kelly grew up in a poor neighbourhood that exposed him to much hurt. His mother was constantly away because she had to work. His brother Carey, who was also abused as a child, has talked about once begging his single mother to stay home so he wouldn’t be alone and susceptible to abuse, but she just couldn’t.
Poverty and inequality breed so much harm. Various vulnerabilities and risk factors contribute to sexual violence victimisation and perpetration; poverty is among those factors. Kelly convinced most of the girls to keep his company by promising to help them with their careers. These were mostly girls from his old neighbourhood. Poor girls trying to get out of a bad situation. They believed him and proceeded to put up with all manner of abuse maintaining the hope that he would help them ‘make it’ in the music industry. This is what poverty can do to you; creating a degree of desperation that means you’ll put up with anything to get out of it.
It’s not just the young victims who were desperate; Kelly’s entire staff was made up of people who conspired with him, aided and abetted him in the abuse. This included bodyguards, friends, industry professionals, record labels, producers, musicians and lawyers. A sentencing memorandum filed by the federal prosecutors in the eastern district of New York, said, in part: “With the aid of his inner circle and over a period of decades, the defendant preyed upon children and young women for his own sexual gratification.
“In order to carry out his many crimes, the defendant relied upon his fame, money and popularity as an R&B recording star and used the large network of people his status afforded him – including his business managers, security guards and bouncers, runners, lawyers, accountants, and assistants – to both carry out and conceal his crimes.”
These people knew exactly what Kelly was doing but said nothing. Poverty can breed vulnerability and victims. Capitalism can breed greed and perpetrators. It’s unfortunate, but it’s fact.
3. ALL ARE IMPLICATED AND BEAR RESPONSIBILITY
Kelly had naked women at his parties, reportedly groping them right there in the presence of guests. This means that, while Kelly may be the only one who’s directly guilty, all who knew are implicated and bear a measure of responsibility in the abuse of those boys, girls and women. It poses the question; what abuse around us are we implicated in by our silence?
Martin Luther King Jr., once said, “noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good.” It’s not enough for us to be good, we have to actively refuse to cooperate with evil around us and that includes everything from ignoring the fact that our neighbour is violent towards his/her partner, to laughing at a sexist joke in a WhatsApp group. In the words of Brené Brown, “If you want to make a difference, the next time you see someone being cruel to another human being, take it personally. Take it personally because it is personal!”
See something, say something. It’s not enough to feel bad; you have to act. In the words of Jane Addams, “Action is indeed the sole medium of expression for ethics.”
4. ART & SELF EXPRESSION
Oprah once said, “When people show you who they are, believe them”, later adding, “Believe them the first time.”
A person’s art typically explores life from the artists perspective, and often tells us exactly who they are. Now, if you have a male artist with a music video full of women in different stages of undress being used by the artist and his friends as they see fit, believe what that artist is telling you about what he thinks about women.
Kelly’s songs (and particularly his music videos) don’t deviate from the current narrative of him being abusive to women. He had a woman dancing in a cage in one of his very explicit music videos. A cage. He produced 15-year-old Aaliyah’s song, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number which was his declaration about what he thought about marrying that 15-year-old. Think about the music you listen to, think about the music videos, what do they say about women? When people show you who they are, believe them and believe them the first time.
5. RACE IS A FACTOR
Wherever you stand in terms of equality movements, it is undeniable that racism exists and black people are over-represented as victims across a broad (and far too large) range of crimes and injustices. It isn’t nice to admit, but the fact that most of Kelly’s victims were black girls DID affect the perceived veracity of their claims, the credibility the victims were given and the significance attributed to the crimes. It shouldn’t have, of course, but it did. It still would. We simply haven’t come far enough as a race of people for widespread equality. We hope one day we can.
Sadly, in the first instance and for far too long, these young black girls were simply not believed or were completely ignored. When it comes to victimisation, sadly, race matters.
6. WHY DON’T VICTIMS JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT?
When a person comes out and says they were abused, the questions begin. One of the main questions usually is, why didn’t you say it then? Another way of phrasing the question is, why didn’t you rush to share this violation on your person, this incredibly heartbreaking, traumatic experience with us as soon as it happened? The victim is often interrogated on their own actions leading up to the abuse, under some sort of an implication that their own behaviour, words, state of dress or otherwise in fact beckoned for acts of violence of non-consensual sexual acts.
We have watched Kelly’s victims share painful, shameful aspects of their lives with the world, demonstrating extreme bravery. Until the trial, some of the young girls had not even told their own mothers they’d been sexually abused.
This is because, as a victim, there’s pain that is incredibly difficult to face and to deal with. Often the words get stuck in your throat even when you want to share it. The pain of sexual abuse is this kind of pain and then some. How eager would you be to share if it were you? Then there’s the added layer of people not believing you. How are you - a nobody - going to come out of nowhere and accuse a beloved, powerful and wealthy black musician of heinous acts?
The simple fact is that abuse (and in particular, sexual abuse) goes unreported most of the time. It is not easy to speak out, and most victims don’t.
7. LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX
We live in a pornified culture in which sex is all around us, used to sell everything from the News at 9 to soft drink, yet many families refuse to talk about sex outside of “don’t do it” and/or bragging about conquests. We know a dad who still changes the TV station when an advertisement for sanitary towels or condoms comes on.
We need to start talking to our children, younger friends and relatives about sex and about sexual abuse. The R Kelly story is a great place to start, providing an opportunity to talk about why those women put up with Kelly, why all those people helped him perpetuate this wickedness and perhaps in what ways are his actions all around us? Are we ourselves silent in the presence of grave injustice?
Talk to your children about what to do should someone ever touch them in their private parts. A woman at one of our courses recently told us she was sexually abused as a child but didn’t tell her parents because her abuser said he’d kill anyone she told. This is, sadly, very common. When this woman had her own children, she told them nobody should ever touch them in the private parts and if they did, they should tell her and no-one was going to kill her or them. Kelly also threatened his victims, saying to one of the girls, ‘if you do anything, my boys will let me know.’ Let’s have those tough conversations with our kids.
8. IT’S JUST HIS PREFERENCE, HE’S INTO YOUNG GIRLS
We’ll just say this in response to that defence of Kelly’s paedophilia, when you urinate into a 12-year-old’s mouth, you’re not being into young girls, you are being an abuser. You’re getting off on exerting power over another person and degrading them while at it. That’s not a preference, that’s a pathology. There are NO EXCUSES. EVER.
9. ABUSE IS ALL AROUND US
We’ve heard people say Kelly is demonic and must be possessed by something otherworldly. This feels like an easy ‘out’, that does not force us to examine all the factors that led us here. It also makes us helpless to act. If he’s under the control of the devil what can we do but pray? And if there are others like him all we can do is impotently bow our knees? No.
Abuse is all around us. It’s in the guy who slaps his wife around (Kelly did that, too). It’s in the guy who controls all the family’s finances (Kelly did that, too). It’s in the partner who tells you what to wear. The one who’s super jealous and won’t let you speak to other men or women. Abuse is all around us, it’s not localised to Kelly and his admittedly extreme actions. Abuse is not only that extreme. If we put up with ‘small’ abuse, we become more susceptible to putting up with even greater abuse. Leave at the first sign of control and abuse, don’t forgive that because it’s small. Abuse only moves in one direction, incremental. Unforgiveable. Unacceptable.
10. ANYBODY CAN BE A VICTIM OF ABUSE
This one is an incredibly difficult pill to swallow and one that truly has our hearts racing with fear. It is why we do what we do here at COBRA Self Defence. At first look into the Kelly case, it’s easy to conclude that the girls were teenagers, young and foolish and that’s why it happened to them. However a closer look and the long term reality is that while Kelly preferred targeting teenagers, he also preyed on older women. Sexual violence can happen to anyone regardless of age, race, income level, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and education level. It can happen to anyone, and it DOES happen. Too much, too often, to too many. But as we always say, one is too many. Don’t let the next victim be YOU, or someone you love.
We all have wounds left over from bad childhood experiences or even experiences as adults. All an abuser needs to know is exactly what your weakness is and where your pain lies, and they can capitalise on that to prey on you. Perhaps if we can stop classifying victims as stupid or naive, and begin to see ourselves as potential victims, our responses will be different. Maybe we’ll care more about the victims. Maybe we’ll try to help the victims more. Maybe we’ll be quicker to stop the perpetrators. Maybe we’ll empower ourselves and those around us with the safety and self defence skills needed to fight this sort of abuse.
We have to begin to value an individual’s story about their experiences, be that a man, a woman, a black girl, an Asian boy or any marginalised group or class. Or perhaps, be that YOU. Let’s begin to value OURSELVES enough to take action for self empowerment. Because one victim is too many.

Time for a new preacher!
A Missouri pastor was caught on camera berating his “broke” congregation for failing to buy him an expensive Movado watch — sparking criticism that he wants to make a profit, not be a prophet.
Pastor Carlton Funderburke of the Church at the Well in Kansas City was giving a fiery sermon about “honoring God’s shepherds” when he scolded his followers for being too poor to give him the pricey timepiece he’d requested, according to now-viral TikTok footage.
“See that’s how I know you still poor, broke, busted, and disgusted because of how you’ve been honoring me,” Funderburke said during the speech on Aug. 7.
“I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money? I ain’t worth your St. John’s knit? Y’all can’t afford it no-how,” he continues in the clip, as some church-goers amazingly respond with encouragement.
“I ain’t worth your Louis Vuitton? I ain’t worth your Prada? I’m not worth your Gucci?”
Funderburke, who founded the church with his wife, then tears into his flock for failing to understand what “God is saying” about how to treat those who deliver his message.
‘”Ooh, you can buy a Movado [watch] at Sam’s [Club] and you know I asked for one last year. And here it is all the way in August and I still ain’t got it,” he says of the watch, which ranges in price from roughly $300 to $3,000.
“Let me kick down the door and talk to my cheap sons and daughters.”
Observers called him a “false prophet” and said he’s spinning the word of God for his own material gain.
“It’s the pastor going off on his congregation and calling them broke for not buying him a watch !!! Y’all better beware of these false prophets !!” one woman wrote on Twitter.
Another critic teased, “Does anyone know which part of the gospels mentions Movado watches at Sam’s Club? Asking for a friend.”
Funderburke later apologized, saying the “video clip does not reflect my heart or my sentiment toward God’s people.”
“Though there is context behind the content of the clip, no context will suffice to explain the hurt and anguish caused by my words,” Funderburke says in a video posted to the church’s YouTube page.
“I have also privately apologized to our church, who has extended their love and support to me.”

text: Interactions between CD8+ T cells and endothelial cells are important in both protective and pathologic immune responses. Endothelial cells regulate the recruitment of CD8+ T cells into tissues, and the activation of CD8+ T cells by antigen presentation and costimulatory signals. PD-L1 and PD-L2 are recently described B7-family molecules which bind to PD-1 on activated lymphocytes and down-regulate T cell activation. We found that PD-L1 is expressed on interferon-gamma stimulated cultured human and mouse endothelial cells, while PD-L2 was found on stimulated human but not mouse endothelial cells. Expression was further up-regulated by TNF-alpha. Antibody blockade of endothelial cell PD-L1 and PD-L2 enhanced endothelial cell costimulation of PHA-activated human CD8+ T cells. Antibody blockade of mouse endothelial cell PD-L1 enhanced both IFN-gamma secretion and cytolytic activity of CD8+ T cells in response to endothelial cell antigen presentation. These results show that IFN-gamma activated endothelial cells can inhibit T cell activation via expression of the immunoinhibitory PD-L1 and PD-L2 molecules. Endothelial expression of PD-ligands would allow activation and extravasation of T cells without excessive vessel damage. Our findings highlight a potentially important pathway by which endothelial cells down-regulate CD8+ T cell-mediated immune responses.

From Our Readers: Why We Stopped Saying "I Love You"
We just stopped saying "I love you."
It is too mainstream for us. We started showing how much we love each other instead. I'd meals for you and you'd return the lunch box to me, washed and cleaned. You'd drop me off to school and at home, and I'd give you a kiss before getting out of the car. You'd randomly text me within the day, saying, "I'm so glad and happy and proud that you are my girl."
I'd slip a note in your planner, saying, "If I were to fall in love again in another lifetime, I'd still choose you. I will always choose you."
We stopped saying I love you because we realized that these words would mean nothing without action. That there is so much more behind those three words; those three words can't even give justice to how much we love each other.
We stopped saying I love you because we have already embraced that part. There's no room for doubts nor pretentions. There's no need for affirmations or reassurances. Even without those three words, we can feel it in our hearts. We show it in every kiss, every caress, every gesture, every word uttered, every silence. We can see it in each other's stares.
We stopped saying I love you not because we stopped loving each other; it's because we love each other more than ever and we plan to do our best to keep it that way.

It's been a few years since the majority of the world's population shifted to cities. But, of course, this urban majority didn't all happen at once.
A new report out from the Asian Development Bank has a special chapter on "Green Urbanization in Asia." While there's a lot of interesting information there, one chart stood out. As you can see below, this chart tracks the time it has taken for the populations of various parts of the world to go from roughly 10 percent urban to 50 percent urban.

The bake shop at the center of TLC'S "Cake Boss" drew long lines as it opened its second location after more than 100 years in Hoboken. The new shop has almost 6,000 likes on Facebook.
It might sound hard to compete with such star power. But the owners of two other Ridgewood bakeries say they're not worried.
In fact, they welcome owner Buddy Valastro.
"It's going to be beautiful," said Izzy Yanay, whose wife, Keum Sook Park, owns Sook Pastry on Broad Street. "We love him. He's going to bring a lot of business to town."
Sook Pastry has been in Ridgewood since March 2011. Park opened the bakery after working at the Payard Patisserie and Bistro in Manhattan and studying at the Center for Advanced Pastry Studies.
Sook and Carlo's offer distinct experiences to customers, Yanay said. While Carlo's is famous for its custom cakes, Sook Pastry is known more as a place where patrons can sit down for a French pastry and a cup of coffee.
And even if Carlo's were a direct competitor, it's still better than an empty storefront—those were all too common a few years ago, Yanay said.
"I would rather have restaurants all around me," Yanay said. "Then it becomes a hub."
Agron Sadikaj, who owns Heidi's Finest German Bakery with his wife Edita, agreed. He believes Carlo's will make Ridgewood a bakery destination, where customers can get their pastries in three styles: for Italian, Carlo's; for French, Sook; for German, Heidi's.
"We will see what the future brings, but I think this is really the first town which serves quality products from all the different countries of Europe," Sadikaj said.

National Cooperative Soil Survey


It has been reported by CNN news channel on Saturday that U.S. President Barack Obama has declared a national emergency to deal with the increase in illness from the H1N1 influenza virus on Friday night. An official of the U.S. Centre for Disease Control says millions of people across the U.S. have already contracted this virus.
Obama’s action allows Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to help health care facilities enact emergency plans to deal with the spread of the virus.
The President signed the declaration late Friday and announced it Saturday.
Ever since the H1N1 flu began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 22,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Frieden said that having 46 states reporting widespread flu transmission is traditionally the hallmark of the peak of flu season. To have the flu season peak at this time of the year is “extremely unusual.”
The CDC said 11.3 million of vaccinations had been distributed throughout the United States, Frieden said. Frieden also acknowledged that manufacturing delays have contributed to less vaccine being available than expected.
Due to the shortage of the vaccines, only pregnant mothers and children are being given the vaccination shot now – till further supplies improve.
The proclamation gives health care authorities greater authority to deal with the pandemic and bypass beaurocratic channels.
“We continue to have widespread activity of H1N1 influenza. 46 states are reporting widespread activity. We have had up until now many millions of cases of pandemic influenza in the U.S. Another administration official said the move is “not tied to the current case count” and “gives the federal government more power to help states” by lifting bureaucratic requirements both in treating patients and moving equipment to where it’s most needed, as numbers continue to increase,” said CDC director Tom Frieden.
“The 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden health care resources in some localities,” Obama said in a statement.
“Thus, in recognition of the continuing progression of the pandemic, and in further preparation as a nation, we are taking additional steps to facilitate our response.”
Calling the emergency declaration “an important tool in our kit going forward,” one administration official called Obama’s action a “proactive measure that’s not in response to any new development.”
The Swine Flu started in Mexico in March/April 2009 and and has taken endemic proportions in U.S. as well as other parts of the world. As of now the vaccinations are helping only those people who have not so far been infected with the H1N1 virus. Those who are infected have been hospitalised and are being treated seperately.

India Bats for Greater Chinese Investment in its Startups
Finance, consumer internet, healthcare, food & beverage, ed-tech and software as a service (SaaS) are the top areas of investment for Chinese companies in India
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
The growth is only starting in the Indian startup ecosystem is what is believed by flocks of investors queuing up to enter India.
Considering the country's vast expanse and opportunity that lies helped by its massive population, China is no behind.
China ranks among the fastest-growing sources of foreign direct investment in India. As of April 2018, China had pumped $8 billion into India as investments, its highest so far.
In a call for more investments, the CEO of India's policy think tank Niti Aayog Amitabh Kant said there is a need for greater Chinese investment.
Speaking at the Chindia TMT Dialogue 2018, Kant said China remains the 17th largest investor in India and should become the first.
"Instead of exporting, we would like Chinese companies to invest in India. Close to $3.7 billion have been invested in India by China in the last 3 years and about 15 percent of investment in Indian startups is from China and we would like it to increase, Kant said at the conference which was attended by up Chinese and Indian investors and entrepreneurs.
Kant outlined that India has over 100 Chinese companies but the number still should increase.
Finance, consumer internet, healthcare, food & beverage, ed-tech and software as a service (SaaS) are the top areas of investment for Chinese companies in India.
"India has the world's second best start-up ecosystem and we are nearly 4,200 tech start-ups and the number should reach 12,000 by 2020. We need a lot of scale up funding. We have tried to develop an ecosystem that is conducive to growth of start-ups, and our start-up schemes have promoted innovation," Kant said.
Keeping in view that the Indian market is very similar to China in terms of scale and complexity, Kant said China's investment in 25 startups of India should increase to more companies.
Back in May this year, China's State-run bank The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China launched the country's first India-dedicated publicly offered investment fund and said the Indian market offers the best opportunity for Chinese investors due to the prospects of double-digit growth.
India's stock market offering double-digit growth post correction in the first quarter of the year has been luring more Chinese investors.
A report in Chinese daily Global Times Recent said research indicates that the Indian market has gradually become one of the best-performing markets in the world due to ongoing reforms, macroeconomic improvement and enhanced profitability, it said.
For international investors besides China, India is expected to become a lucrative market as manufacturing and better trading opportunities would be easier to clinch from China in light of the growing tension amid US and China in the ongoing trade war.
An April report by Indian news agency Press Trust of India quoted Chinese Ministry of Spokesperson Gao Feng said India has become an important market for infrastructure cooperation among Chinese companies and a major investment destination.
Kant said he believed given the recent success of investments, foreign direct investment from China could potentially grow by 4-5 times in the next five years and Chinese companies could very soon become one of India's top foreign direct investors.

- Suitable locations
Cultivated almost all over the world during the growing season
USDA 3 and higher
- Life cycle
Pattypan squash typically takes 45 to 60 days to mature after sowing, depending on the variety. The following are the different stages of the life cycle of pattypan squash:
Seed Germination: Pattypan squash seeds can be sown directly into the soil once the danger of frost has passed in the spring. Germination occurs within 5-10 days.
Seedling Stage: At this stage, the plant has developed its first few leaves and is ready to be transplanted into the garden bed. Pattypan squash seedlings should be spaced 3-4 feet apart.
Vegetative Stage: During this stage, the plant is focused on growing its leaves, stems, and roots. Pattypan squash plants need plenty of sunlight, water, and nutrients to thrive.
Flowering Stage: Pattypan squash produces large, showy flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The flowering stage begins around 30-40 days after planting.
Fruit Formation Stage: After the flowers have been pollinated, the pattypan squash begins to form. Pattypan squash can be harvested when they are 2-4 inches in diameter.
Maturity and Harvest: Pattypan squash is typically ready for harvest 45-60 days after planting. The squash should be firm to the touch and have a bright, glossy skin.
Spring - early summer
Pattypan squash can be propagated through seeds. The seeds can be planted directly in the garden after the last frost date in spring, or started indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date and transplanted outdoors once the seedlings have developed their first true leaves and the threat of frost has passed.
The ideal soil temperature for planting pattypan squash seeds is between 60-105°F (15-40°C). It takes around 7-14 days for the seeds to germinate, and once the seedlings emerge, they should be thinned to one plant per pot or 2-3 feet apart in the garden.
Pattypan squash typically takes 50-70 days from planting to maturity. They will begin to flower 30-40 days after planting and continue to produce flowers and fruit throughout the growing season.

Age Doesn't Matter Where Blood Thinners Are Concerned
"Ours is the first study to find a significant benefit for [Coumadin] in a population with an average age of 80," Gage says.
"[The] study demonstrates that blood thinners have been underused in elderly people over 65 with atrial fibrillation and that this underuse has led to an increase in hospitalizations and deaths," the authors write.
"If I had atrial fibrillation, I would certainly want to discuss the reasons for and against taking [Coumadin] or aspirin with my doctor," says Richard Thomson, MD, who was not involved in the study. "Patient preferences are an important part of the shared decision-making process. This is particularly important for a medication like [Coumadin], where some patients may have strong feelings about the required monitoring process." Thomson is professor of epidemiology and public health at the University of Newcastle School of Medicine in England.
Thomson points out that "as patients get older, their risk of stroke increases." Although the problems associated with Coumadin may also increase with age, the benefits of use may be even greater in those who are older, he says. "In the absence of contraindications [such as easy tendency to bleed], we should be using warfarin in the elderly in the same way as in younger patients," he says.
About 2 million Americans have atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that can cause blood clots. If a blood clot travels from the heart to the brain, it can cause a stroke.
Previous studies have shown that blood thinners like Coumadin are safe to use in patients aged 65 to 75. A new study shows the drug is safe to use in patients over 80, but overall, the therapy is underused.
Observers note it's important to discuss the use of blood thinners with your doctor. Some patients can't take potent blood thinners because they have other health conditions that would make the therapy unsafe, but they still may be able to use milder thinners like aspirin.

Use of improved nutrient practices in maize-based agroecosystems alter allocation between leaching and denitrification loss pathways [abstract]. American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, December 12-16, 2022, Chicago, Illinois.
Technical Abstract: Sustainability in maize-based agroecosystems requires the ability to consider both productivity and environmental tradeoffs and synergies. The addition of soluble fertilizers, primarily nitrogen, is a primary concern due to off-site nutrient losses. A key challenge to-date in conducting systems-level analyses is the lack of multi-site, multi-year data with robust nutrient measurements across multiple loss pathways. This presentation examines nutrient changes across intensively managed maize-based experiments in the U.S. Midwest and Ontario, Canada (spanning 39.4 to 44.2 °N and 82.7 to 95.5 °W). Research was conducted from 2018-2020 at nine (9) field sites in six (6) states/provinces using standardized protocols for water, greenhouse gas, agronomic, and soil measurements. Experiments included common “farmer-normal” practices and improved nutrient management practices including cover crops and altered nitrogen fertilizer timing, placement, and rate. Data included nitrate-N load from water outflow, nitrous oxide and ammonia gaseous fluxes, nitrogen content in grain, soil carbon and soil health attributes, farm management, and on-site precipitation. Overall, more nitrogen was lost from the system as nitrate-N rather than nitrous oxide although the proportion varied temporally and spatially. The nutrient loss patterns were represented as the ratio between different reactive N forms with each field site being unique. For greatest improvement in sustainability, identification of the greater loss pathway (leaching or denitrification) is the first step at a location followed by implementation of location-specific interventions.

« Australia is (literally) a penniless society and other notes from the Chinese restaurant frontier | Home | Cocooning myself to meditate on The Greatest Chinese restaurant in the world (outside Greater China) »
By Jennifer 8. Lee | July 6, 2007
Eater informs us that Chinese-Japanese-French Wakiya at the Gramercy Park Hotel is now taking reservations: (212) 995-1330. It has taken more than a year and a half for Ian Schrager to get his upscale Chinese restaurant as Alan Yau of Hakkasan dropped Park Chinois (what is with all the French-Chinese?)Â earlier this year because of visa issues. Coordinated with the Nobu team, Yuji Wakiya’s restaurant promises to be the buzziest Chinese restaurant opening in decades. Eater informs us that there are no 8 p.m. tables being awarded, though 7 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. or later are okay.Â Chinese flavor, Japanese delicacy, French presentation.

Britons would now vote to stay in EU, want second referendum - YouGov poll
The latest survey by polling firm YouGov published on Sunday showed that a majority of the Britons want to remain a member of the European Union (EU) than leave and favor a second referendum.
“If a referendum were held immediately, 46 percent would vote to remain, 39 percent would vote to leave, and the rest either did not know, would not vote, or refused to answer the question.
When the undecided and those who refused to answer were removed from the sample, the split was 54-46 in favour of remaining.
The poll of more than 25,000 voters was commissioned by the People’s Vote campaign, which is spearheading an increasingly vocal push for a second referendum on Brexit.
The survey showed 41 percent thought the final decision about Brexit should be made by a new public vote versus 36 percent who believe it should be up to parliament. Removing those who are undecided, the split was 53 percent in favor of another referendum and 47 percent against.”

About Buckhorn Springs
Buckhorn Springs serves as a reminder of what is possible when a family commits to a particular place. In a modern world where jobs, houses, and lifestyles are often traded like interchangeable parts, Bruce and Leslie made a radical choice to purchase the run-down mineral springs resort in October of 1987. They chose to restore and preserve the historic structures, the habitat, and the stories of a single location. In doing so, their family embarked on what would soon become their life’s work: preserving a piece of Oregon’s history to share with their guests.
Once a healing destination for native tribes including the Rogue, Klamath, Shasta and Takilma tribes, and then for white settlers, Buckhorn had been neglected for years when the Sargent family moved in. Bruce remembers his first encounter with the resort—its dilapidated buildings and long-neglected landscape: “Ninety-nine out of one hundred people would have torn it all down. But I kind of like old things” said Bruce.
Once Bruce and Leslie realized that restoring the health spa was unrealistic, they decided to preserve the past rather than to recreate it. Where visitors took mineral baths in the 1930’s and received hydrotherapy from Dr. Wexler in the 1950’s, today’s guests will find historically restored accommodations, beautiful scenery, fresh air, and the babbling sound of Emigrant Creek. Many of the features that attracted visitors a hundred years ago continue to draw people to Buckhorn.
