Unlock the secret world of leaf cutter bees and their favorite flowers, a knowledge that could transform your garden into a buzzing paradise.
Whether you're a passionate gardener seeking to attract pollinators or simply a nature enthusiast curious about the behavior of leaf cutter bees, understanding their floral preferences can be both interesting and beneficial.
Leaf cutter bees have an intricate relationship with flowers, but the question begs: what flowers do they specifically like? What attracts them to certain blossoms and not others?
As we pull back the petals of this topic, you'll discover the unique floral allure for these industrious insects and how this knowledge can enhance your own garden or nature observations.
So, let's embark on this journey of exploration, where the answers might just surprise you.
- Leaf cutter bees are attracted to flowering plants that produce ample nectar and pollen.
- They prefer flowers with a diameter of around 10mm and that are spaced apart to forage without competition.
- A diverse garden with a variety of flowers will attract a broader range of pollinators, including leaf cutter bees.
- Some top flower choices for leaf cutter bees include asters, coneflowers, goldenrods, sunflowers, roses, and wildflowers.
Understanding Leaf Cutter Bees
Diving into the world of leaf cutter bees, you'll discover that these industrious insects aren't only crucial pollinators, but they also exhibit fascinating behaviors and adaptations.
You'll find that these bees aren't your typical honey bees; they're solitary creatures, each female constructing her own nest. It's her job to gather leaves, creating a cozy cell for her offspring.
Interestingly, leaf cutter bees don't eat these leaves. Instead, they use them in a rather ingenious way. The female bee will cut precise circles out of leaves, often leaving a telltale sign of her visit on foliage. She'll carry these leaf cuttings back to her nest, meticulously layering them to create a protective casing for her eggs.
Within this leafy nursery, the female bee deposits an egg, along with a mixture of nectar and pollen, which serves as food for the larva once it hatches. This process is repeated until her nest is full.
You'll notice that the lifecycle of these bees is a testament to their adaptability and resilience. Understanding these behaviors not only deepens your appreciation for these bees, but it also highlights their significance in the ecosystem.
Attracting Bees With Flowering Plants
Having observed the intriguing lifecycle of leaf cutter bees, you might now wonder how to attract these crucial pollinators to your garden, and the answer lies in the strategic selection of flowering plants.
Leaf cutter bees are particularly drawn to plants that produce ample nectar and pollen. They're not too picky about the kind of flower, but they do prefer a certain size. They're especially fond of flowers with a diameter of around 10mm. This size allows them to easily access the nectar and pollen while providing a comfortable landing platform.
It's also important to note that leaf cutter bees are solitary creatures. Therefore, they prefer flowers that are spaced apart, so they can forage without competition. Plant your flowers in a sunny, open area and ensure they're not too densely packed.
Plants like lavender, echinacea, and daisies are good choices. They're rich in nectar and pollen and have the ideal flower size. But remember, variety is key. A diverse garden will attract a broader range of pollinators and increase the overall health of your garden's ecosystem. So, mix it up and watch as your garden buzzes with life.
Top Flowers Leaf Cutter Bees Love
Let's explore the top flowers that leaf cutter bees can't resist, drawing them to your garden with their rich nectar and perfect size.
Firstly, the asters. These perennial plants offer a wide range of colors and sizes, making them a favorite for these bees. The flowers' small size allows the bees to easily access the nectar while collecting pollen.
Secondly, leaf cutter bees find the daisy-like blooms of coneflowers irresistible. Their large, flat petals provide ample room for the bees to land and feed. The bees are particularly attracted to the rich nectar and abundant pollen these flowers produce.
Thirdly, goldenrods, with their bright yellow flowers, are a magnet for leaf cutter bees. They bloom late in the season, providing a valuable food source when other flowers have finished blooming.
Cultivating a Bee-Friendly Garden
Now that you're familiar with the top flowers that leaf cutter bees prefer, it's crucial to understand how to cultivate these and other plants in a manner that creates a bee-friendly garden.
First off, you'll need to consider the local climate and soil conditions, since these factors significantly affect the growth and blooming patterns of plants.
Incorporate a variety of flower shapes and sizes in your garden to cater to different bee species. Choose flowers that bloom at different times of the year to ensure a consistent food supply for bees. Leaf cutter bees are solitary creatures, so consider leaving some bare, undisturbed soil for their nesting.
Avoid using pesticides, as they're harmful to bees. If you must, use them sparingly and in the evening when bees are less active. Instead, embrace natural pest control methods like introducing beneficial insects or using organic, bee-friendly alternatives.
Lastly, ensure that your garden has a source of fresh, clean water. Bees need water for drinking and cooling their hives. A shallow dish with pebbles or a birdbath can serve this purpose.
With these steps, you're well on your way to creating a thriving, bee-friendly garden.
Impact of Leaf Cutter Bees on Flowers
Understanding the impact of leaf cutter bees on flowers is essential as these industrious insects play a crucial role in your garden's ecosystem and overall health. Despite their seemingly destructive behavior of cutting leaves, they're harmless to your plants. Indeed, they contribute significantly to pollination, enhancing your garden's productivity and diversity.
Here's a quick overview of their impact on flowers:
They transfer pollen from male to female flower parts, aiding in fertilization.
They cut leaves for nest building, but this doesn't harm the plant's health.
Their pollination activity boosts seed production, spreading plant growth.
Mixed Flower Garden
Their presence encourages a variety of plant species.
As part of the food chain, they provide food for birds and other insects.
In conclusion, you've seen how leaf cutter bees favor certain flowers, such as daisies, poppies, and sunflowers.
By cultivating a bee-friendly garden with these plants, you're not only attracting these fascinating creatures but also aiding in pollination.
Though leaf cutter bees may leave distinctive cutouts on your plants, remember, the overall impact on your garden's health and biodiversity is overwhelmingly positive.
Embrace these industrious bees and enjoy the thriving ecosystem they help maintain.

Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro and Kevin Hart in Grudge Match
Sylvester Stallone has such a history associated with boxing that my 20 year old son even asked me if he was a real professional boxer. His character, Rocky, has left such a strong impression on the American psyche that everyone knows that character. In some ways, Rocky has become real. He is Stallone’s legacy, plain and simple. Stallone may be playing a former boxer here named Henry 'Razor' Sharp but it is really Rocky we came to see.
Robert De Niro likewise has cinematic boxing history. In 1980 he starred in Raging Bull as boxer Jake La Motta, for which he won an Academy Award. Although that film did not make the pop cultural impact of Rocky, it did set a standard of dedication to a role as De Niro gained and lost a severe amount of weight for the part.
70 year old De Niro and 67 year old Stallone play former boxing rivals whose bad blood spilled outside the ring. 30 years ago Stallone walked away from a bout with De Niro for personal reasons that are later explained in the film. This left their rivalry open ended.
Kevin Hart plays the son of a former promoter who accidentally gets the old timers together to produce some computer visuals for a boxing video game. The two get into a fight that goes viral. This prompts some money men to entice the old codgers back into the ring for a grudge match. Enter an estranged son and an old flame and we have the potential for a great story, “potential” being the key word.
Grudge Match is first a comedy. Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart provide most of the laughs. Their scene heavily shown in the previews is one of the best. After Arkin calls Hart “Webster”, Hart responds, “I choose to believe that you just called me Webster because of my dictionary-sized vocabulary, NOT because of my height and race!” Arkin corrects him, “Nope, it's because you're short and black!” Not to be out done, Hart returns with, “What was Jesus like? I'm curious. Was he cool?”
That scene is funny to me and anyone else who knows who Webster is. The problem is that joke went right over the head of my 20 year old and likely most 20 year olds. In another scene, Arkin and Stallone walk through a warehouse of hanging sides of beef. Arkin tells Stallone not to hit the beef as that is not sanitary. This is yet another joke you will only get if you know the reference.
The film attempts to have some heart with Stallone and Kim Bassinger, who looks incredible for 60, playing former lovers reconnecting after so many years. There is also a side plot about De Niro and his son, played by Walking Dead’s Jon Bernthal, coming to a new understanding. Bernthal plays B.J. and there are several sex jokes made about his name. None are all that funny, but then they bring B.J.’s young son into the jokes and they also become a little inappropriate.
Try as they might to force it, the film never drew me in. There was room for some decent drama, but the script never gets there. What we are left with is some humor and nostalgia. Grudge Match is for life long Stallone and De Niro fans. Like them, the plot is old and worn but it sure was nice seeing these old guys still kicking and hitting after all these years.
Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart in Grudge Match.
As a comedy Grudge Match is occasionally funny. Whenever it gets anywhere near drama, however, it turns into pure hokum. As Eric said, the script fails to engage the audience in any sort of believable way. It's filled with cliches and contrived situations. Whatever nostalgia it may have conjured is ruined by the inept script and hackneyed dialogue.
I'm sorry but Stallone and De Niro are just too damned old for these roles. Hell, even thirty years ago they were both a bit long in the tooth to be playing still active professional fighters. Stallone at least has kept himself in great shape, but De Niro cannot be taken seriously in any of the fight scenes, especially when he is shown training and knocking down guys half his age.
Basinger may look good for sixty but hers is a thankless role that could have been played by any number of aging actresses. She does nothing to distinguish herself in the part. Ditto John Berthal as De Niro's grown-up son. I never bought the relationship between them. And where was his son's mother? She never even gets a mention.
Thank goodness for Alan Arkin and Kevin Hart. They are the only bright spots in the movie. Eric mentioned their scene together but even separately they provide whatever humor there is to be found in this tired script. Arkin has such a great deadpan delivery and he has lately cornered the market on wisecracking old guys. Hart is an up-and-coming comic with great timing. They alone are used to advantage here.
Very few formerly great stars have sunk as low as Robert De Niro. It has almost gotten to the point where if his name is on a movie marquee then you can be pretty sure it's a stinker. Discernment in script choices is clearly something he cares nothing about. Stallone fares better as he was never considered to be a serious actor anyway (OK maybe for a minute in the 70s after the first Rocky movie). Still it is long past time for both of these guys to hang up the gloves for good. A better idea is an odd couple buddy comedy starring Arkin and Hart.
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone in Grudge Match.
In a recent interview Stallone admitted that it was De Niro who talked him into taking this part. He was worried that a comedy about boxing might tarnish the legacy of Rocky. Perhaps he's unaware that the tarnishing of that legacy started the second he signed up for Rocky 2, and the tarnishing has only grown stronger ever since. However, at least he's thinking about his legacy. De Niro doesn't seem to give a damn about his. As Patrick wrote, he has gone from being one of the most respected actors of all time, to something of a joke; appearing in dud after dud. How does he keep getting work? On name recognition alone, I imagine.
To be fair though, and as my brothers pointed out, it's not really the fault of the actors that this movie is so poor. The blame lays squarely on the writers. Believe it or not, it took 3 writers to make this movie. The biggest film two of them had worked on prior to this one was the 1996 Walt Disney film, First Kid, starring Sinbad. They'd also written for the 1990s comedy sketch show, In Living Color, which might explain why it's in the comedy that this movie works best.
The casting of De Niro and Stallone gives the film weight and they each bring a boxing movie legacy to their parts. Because of this the filmmakers are able to do some clever CGI trickery at the beginning of the film to make it look like the two really fought each other, although some of it is more convincing than other parts. But perhaps their presence creates the expectation of too much drama. The jokes mostly stay away from the central characters. Perhaps more laughs about their age and the ludicrousness of the central plot device would have helped. This might have been passably believable when these guys were in their 50s, but not 67 and 70.
Patrick wondered about De Niro's grandson's mother, who never gets a mention. The thing missing in the script that I noticed was an explanation of how Stallone was able to pass his physical when he was blind in one eye.
Lastly I will just echo my brothers in their praise of Arkin and Hart. They are the only things to provide a spark at all to these grim proceedings. They are funny on their own and deliver even better banter when they're together. Without them there would be almost nothing to praise about this film.

On the river bank, easy walking to Jonker Street and other historical sights
Front desk was polite. Room was comfortable. Well kept clean and spacious. Connecticity was good.
The place was very quiet - few guests because after the school holidays. Rooms are in two storey chalets surrounded by trees. The swimming pool is amazing and we had it pretty much to ourselves. Rooms are large and the internet is fast enough to be usable. Access is by golf cart buggies and there ...

Discovering hip cafes, eclectic boutiques, or a beautiful park can be one of the many highlights of your stay. If you're not sure where to begin, check with your hotel's front-desk attendant to get a feel for what Malacca has to offer. There is no better source than a local to point you to an exciting evening out or to a cafe to enjoy a few cocktails at and relax. Wherever your path takes you, just be sure to hang loose.

Meet Breeze (FIV+)
Clumsy climber. Expert snuggler. Selective Foodie.
Ask me about…
My own version of Netflix and Chill. I love to climb to new hiding spots (although it can be a process as I trip over myself to get there) to check out the best Cat TV has to offer, watching the birds and squirrels go by outside my window. As the afternoon goes by I’ll alternate between tuning into the goings-on out the window and napping in the sunshine, a pillow, blanket, or a warm radiator.
Snuggling > Play
Warm Laps > Exploration
Tuna > That dry crap
I enter every interaction assuming positive intent, which has served me well. The quickest way to my heart is through giving me pets and chin scratches. I love to curl up on my human's lap, purr, and sometimes I get so content that I will fall asleep with my mouth open, and maybe a little drool will come out (I’m not proud).
Some may call me picky in the food department, but I prefer to think of myself as a foodie. I enjoy the finer cuisine there is to offer that provides for a more complex palate like my own than your typical meow mix (which is about on the level of McDonald's compared to a steak house if you ask me).
I have been diagnosed as FIV positive meaning I need to take medication (approximate cost of $39.50 per month) to help my immune system stay strong. Through diet and medication, I’m expected to live as long as any of my peers. Check out all about FIV on the webpage https://americanpetsalive.org/uploads/resources/FIV-FAQ.pdf. My diagnosis also means that I will either need to be an only cat or live with another FIV-positive cat only.
About my match…
I’m looking for a chill person with a calmer home where I can perch, snuggle, and practice my mindfulness in a zen space. I previously lived with other FIV-positive cats but was picked on, so I’m totally cool if I’m an only pet, and could do ok with another cat if our personalities jived.
I haven’t met dogs yet, so I don’t know how I’d handle them. As for kids, my foster thinks I’d do well with older kids (middle school age or above), but younger kids maybe a little too rowdy.
I’m looking for a human that can give me the PDA I crave, in a home filled with fun nooks to find as well as warm laps or blankets to nap on.

The ONS have indicated that the sharp fall in the pound since Brexit has not helped boost exports in March.
The trade deficit increased and industrial output contracted more than was forecast.
The economy appears to be faltering and Brexit is to blame. It is feared that when the UK finally breaks from the EU, there could be a shocking collapse of the UK economy.
The deal PM May secures with the EU is increasingly important, but the anti-European rhetoric from the Government is making that less likely. The vote for Macron, who is very pro-EU, in France might strengthen the EU’s resolve in the negotiations with the UK.
Industrial output dropped by 0.5% in March, sharper than the 0.3% fall that had been forecast. This followed a 0.7% fall in February leading to a total growth of just 0.1% for the first quarters of the year according to the Office for National Statistics figures.
It was hoped that a fall in the pound might increase exports but there doesn’t appear to be much evidence this has happened. Instead there was a surge in imports, up £2.9bn over the month, with an increase in imports of goods from both EU and non-EU countries.
The broad services and goods deficit jumped to £4.9bn in March from £2.6bn in February.
Exports increased by just £600m. Samuel Tombs, the chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the March trade figures were “simply dreadful”.
The uncertainty over Brexit appears to be grinding the economy to a halt and a turnaround in the next quarter is essential, however that looks unlikely.

I am sorry you have to deal with this unpleasant discovery. I think you should first determine whether your marriage is even valid under Tanzanian law as there is nothing to annul if the marriage is not valid to begin with. Polygamy is prohibited in the majority of countries around the world which means that the second "marriage" is null and void. Therefore, your starting point is Tanzanian law. Another thing that needs to be researched is whether your husband's first marriage was valid. If it was not valid, your marriage would most likely be valid. An attorney admitted in California should not determine the validity of a foreign marriage without hiring an attorney in the jurisdiction where the marriage took place as doing so would be practicing law without a license. I hope this helps.

Capcom bringing in the nostalgic feels of yesteryear with the release of Capcom Arcade Stadium on the Nintendo Switch. 32 Classic arcade titles now in one neat downloadable package.
I also love how each game is presented in a arcade cabinet which they originally came from, another neat feature for the game.
The games themselves will be sold in 3 packs, which consisted of games from different arcade era, with one free game that everyone will get when you download the title for the first time, which is 1943 – Midway Kaisen. And for a limited time, you can get the original Ghosts ‘n Goblins too, a game whose remake is on the way.

I am always a fan of a good cause. Throw in a great cocktail with pizza from Chef Teddy Diggs and I am all in. The People’s Cocktail event was held on Monday, February 18 at Fox Liquor Bar. The concept for the event? A competitive cocktail fundraiser. Each bartender created a cocktail for their charity of choice. The attendees selected their cocktail and the most popular drink of the evening wins the proceeds for their charity. So basically every drink ordered equals one vote.
What we had to drink: Time is of the Essence which was an Irish Whiskey, St Germain, Rosemary, Lemon, and Basil (above). This drink benefited the Food Bank of North Carolina whose mission is No One Goes Hungry in Central & Eastern North Carolina.
I also had the Pay it No Mind which was Tequila, Dry Curacao, grapefruit, lime and bitters (right). This cocktail benefited The Trevor Project which is a national 24-hour, toll free confidential suicide hotline for LGBTQ youth. The drinks were wonderful.
Did we mention bar snacks to boot? From Chef Teddy Diggs of Coronato Pizza? Yessssssss! Ok so that pizza is worth all the hype. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. We had Pizza #2 which was a crisp pizza with roasted mushrooms, dandelion, sweet onions and Taleggio. Yum! We also tried the classic suppli. For those who have never tried suppli, it is a cheesy deep fried ball of goodness. They are a traditional Italian snack with rice and tomato sauce. It was so good.
It was a great evening for a great cause. Kuddos to Fox Liquor bar for creating a great experience.

Following outings at the Edinburgh Fringe and Southwark Playhouse in January 2011, Belt Up Theatre's The Boy James returns to London running at The Goldsmith on Southwark Bridge Road from 26 January to 11 February 2012.
An original story inspired by Peter Pan and the life of JM Barrie, The Boy James is a dark, beautiful tale of one boy’s awakening to the harsh realities of adulthood. Play with him, and take his hand as you lead him back to Neverland.
Jethro Compton returns to the role of The Boy, alongside Serena Manteghi as The Girl and Dominic Allen as James. Staged as part of Southwark Playhouse's 'Out and About' programme, the show makes a new home above a bar and restaurant originally built as part of the London Brigade Fire Station. In typical Belt Up style the space is transforming into a fully formed immersive environment.
Belt Up Theatre give us their five reasons to see the show.
1. It made Stephen Fry cry
In 2011 the world’s favourite polymath, egged on by some Belt Up fans, came to see The Boy James at Southwark Playhouse. As with many audience members, the show struck a chord and led Fry to tweet, "Just been knocked out by The Boy James, Belt Up's interactive show about JM Barrie… Still drying my eyes."
2. An original story inspired by Peter Pan and the life of JM Barrie
There is something about the work of JM Barrie and the story of Peter Pan that manages to reach the inner child of every audience member; the idea of not-wanting to grow up is universal. The Boy James is a dark, beautiful tale of one boy’s awakening to the harsh realities of adulthood.
3. It was created by the award-winning Belt Up Theatre
Belt Up has been working across the UK over the last three years. Their unique style of performance has created a great following and a number of shows including The Tartuffe, The Trial, Lorca is Dead and Macbeth which was staged in the House of Detention in Clerkenwell and will be returning later this year.
Belt Up has been hailed as a company "changing the future of British theatre" by the Observer and as Edinburgh "Fringe Royalty" by Time Out.
4. It has some amazing reviews
The show has been running now, on and off, for a year and a half. Over that time it has received some incredible write-ups including three four-star reviews from Whatsonstage describing it as "a magical experience" and "flawless". It has also been called "moving and beautifully played" by writer Neil Gaiman, and called everything from "riveting," "wonderful" and "superbly realised" to "Belt Up’s finest performance" by reviewers from The Stage, The Scotsman, Fest Mag and Edinburgh Evening News.
5. It’s your last chance to see it before the show flies off to Australia
After the enormous success of the show in the UK, the company is heading off to Australia for a month-long run at the Adelaide Fringe Festival. Unless you fancy a trip to South Australia, be sure to book your tickets for the London run whilst they’re still available.
The Boy James opened at The Goldsmith on Southwark Bridge Road on 26 January where it continues until 11 February 2012. Tickets are available from the Southwark Playhouse box office.

The legendary singer, who uploaded the stunning photos on her official Instagram page, was dressed in a dark brown top and a light brown skirt, which she accessorised with jewels and a lovely grin.
Tiwa Savage went on to say that when a person fights with a f00l, it demonstrates that there are two f00ls disputing with each other.
Tiwa Savage wrote;
“When you argue with a f00l, it only proves there are two”
Here is Tiwa Savage’s post below;
Tiwa Savage is one among the many female Nigerian singers who has raised the standard of the music industry in Nigeria, following her recent shows which she held outside the country.
And so, while we congratulate Tiwa Savage and other female Nigerian artistes, we pray that God will continue to use them to bless the lives of people around the world through their songs.

Often dismissed as a teen band - the Osmonds in their hey day were prolific and produced some of the best and most soulful of the early to mid 70s pop scene. Their record sales and popularity at the time are a testimony to this fact. This song is a fine example of their ability to maximise the potential of a song. A haunting love ballad, the song was a huge hit in its day and reveals their excellent voices and musicianship at its very best. The Osmonds set the template for the boy band phenomenon of the late 90s - but their pop legacy should be seriously reassessed by critics of this music genre.
available on CD - The Very Best Of The Osmonds (Polydor)
From her 1973 EMI Album "Day By Day" - this version of the song from the rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar" is regarded by the song's lyricist Tim Rice as THE definitive version. Cilla's interpretation of this wonderful song is absolutely magnificent. She brings her enormous capacity to convincingly interpret haunting ballads to its full potential with this song. Receiving extensive radio airplay when the album was released, had the song been released as a single I'm sure it would have produced her third #1 hit in the UK.

So right after GE14 in 2011, I shared a chunk of my thoughts.
What's happened after that? Here's a breakdown.
1. WP actually went on to win the by-election of Punggol-East SMC in 2013 after PAP MP Michael Palmer stepped down. Renaming the new areas of Aljunied, Hougang and Punggol-East, AHPETC, the WP have governed with mixed reviews, depending on your news sources. It hasn't been terrible, but it hasn't been all that great either. This coming GE15 will actually show whether in particular, voters in Aljunied GRC will still want to endorse the WP lineup and their form of governing. They are also looking strong ins both Marine Parade and East Coast GRCs this time around.
2. George Yeo was and is still the biggest loser of the 2011 GE. But he has gone on to respectfully do alot of other things in the private sector and has probably even increased in popularity. His decision not to return to politics in 2015 has only helped make him even more popular. Probably a very likely candidate for President when Tony Tan steps down.
3. Mr Chiam is so old now and yet he still goes around with his wife to campaign. There is alot of respect for Mr Chiam from all Singaporeans regardless of political affiliation. He was another of the old guard who truly cared for his people.
4. The SDP has been almost unheard of since the last GE, a continuing problem that plagues all other parties other than the PAP and WP. This time around, the big wigs are gone and the old bird has returned. Who else but Mr Chee Soon Juan himself. I hope age has helped him mellow, otherwise, be prepared for more fireworks from him.
5. Nicole Seah couldn't take the pressures of being such a political starlet. A series of poor choices and bad maneuvers made her decide to step away from the limelight. So she's sitting GE15 out, as announced recently. Still extremely popular and who knows if she'll ever make a comeback, but given her political clout, I hope she doesn't let that go to waste.
6. Tin Pei Ling. My, my, what four years of being a politician has changed many a mind, including mine. She has definitely gone on to prove so many naysayers wrong. One of the few MPs who starting walking the ground the moment she piggy-backed GCT in Marine Parade, she has actually earned respect from her residents for truly caring about them. And it has not gone unnoticed. This coming GE15, Macpherson SMC has been carved out as a single ward and she's been given the honour of staying on to fight an incoming WP candidate. A testament to PAP's confidence in her retaining her seat (or maybe not?). I would honestly be surprised if she loses in GE15.
7. A far more mellow me in 2015 would disagree with myself of 2011. The GRC system has proven that it works in that it allows for minorities to be represented. Regardless of race, religion, sex and orientation (gulp!), only the GRC system would prevent popularist voting in every single constituency.
8. Pasir Ris - Punggol is now a much larger place. That said, Teo Ser Luck has done a fairly good job although the impression is that he isn't as high-flyer as before. Maybe he hasn't been standing out as much.
Looking forward to the General Election 2015!

The government reportedly doubled the budget of a new settlement for evacuees of the illegal Amona outpost during a Wednesday meeting of cabinet ministers and settler leaders.
Last week, construction for the new Amichai settlement was halted after just over a month due to lack of funds.
According to a Channel 2 news report Wednesday, Housing Minister Yoav Galant announced that the budget for Amichai would be increased from NIS 60 million ($18 million) to NIS 120 million ($36 million).
The announcement came during a meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office, according to the report.
Galant also agreed to have his ministry take direct responsibility for the settlement’s construction instead of the Binyamin Regional Council, which had previously been spearheading the project.
There was no immediate response from representatives of Amona evacuees.
The Binyamin Regional Council had been bankrolling the building of what will be the first new settlement in a quarter century under the assumption that it would be compensated by the state.
However, council representatives said the government had not contributed, forcing them to stall the project for the 42 families evacuated in February after the Supreme Court ruled that their outpost had been built on private Palestinian land.
Speaking with The Times of Israel last week, Binyamin Regional Council chairman Avi Roeh said the halt “had nothing to do with lack of willingness from the government.”

TAHLEQUAH, Oklahoma -- The Cherokee Nation voted for its first new chief in more than a decade Saturday.
Current Principal Chief Chad Smith received 7,589 votes. Challenger Bill John Baker received 7,600 votes. That's a different of just eleven votes.
With Such a slim margin, Smith said he will be looking at the election very closely.
"In the coming days, we will examine the record and make sure our election was conducted properly and accurately under our law," Smith said in a statement.
It's not known if Smith will ask for a recount.
Some of the other races were too close to call. A runoff election is set for July 23rd to decide several of the tribal council seats and who will serve as Deputy Chief.
As for the constitutional amendments on the ballot, members voted to keep term limits in place for Chiefs and Council members.
They also authorized special elections to fill vacant council seats.

If you’re worried what happens to your confiscated cellphone, it is being used for a good cause.
The City of Cape Town has handed over 150 confiscated cellphones to members of Neighbourhood Watch in and around the city.
The city is in possession of about 7 000 cellphones that have been impounded from motorists who were caught using them while driving.
These devices will now be rolled out to neighbourhood watches across the Cape starting with the first batch today, says the City’s mayoral committe member for safety, JP Smith.
Smith says thousands of phones have been impounded since the by-law came into effect in 2012.
Cellphones need to be collected within three months, but Smith says in this case they’ve waited for more than a year, and it became City property in terms of the impoundment policy.
“What we didn’t realise at the time was how much red tape we would have to cut through to clear personal data from phones that were never claimed.
“We initially planned to auction the devices‚ but then last year we had a brainwave to donate the phones to non-governmental and community organisations instead who could put them to good use‚” he said.
Smith says the City has helped set up the cellphones for the groups by clearing old data and loading start-up airtime.

To the person and people whose posts I trash
I’m not going to keep your posts if you start them out with 4-letter words. I might not even keep your posts if you don’t. If you have some kind of intelligent debate to make with actual facts to back up your opinions, I might then allow your posts on my blog.
I might not, either.
It all depends on my mood.
I left a community-type website because I could no longer stomach the anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Israel, all leftist-all the time, attitude. They had no tolerance for those of us who didn’t share their opinions but they demanded that we be tolerant of theirs.This is now my blog and I decide whose opinions I will tolerate and whose I will not.
I’m no longer into being a moral relativist in order to fluff their comfort level pillows or yours.
Read my post on About My Blog and then decide if you want to waste your time posting your drivel or not because it’s just one keystroke for me to trash your post.
It’s a promise that I probably will.
Google to become the HAL 9000 of our future
Eric Schmidt suggested that young people should be entitled to change their identity to escape their misspent youth, which is now recorded in excruciating detail on social networking sites such as Facebook.
“I don’t believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time,” Mr Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal.
This is a scary forecast, isn’t it? He’s right, too. We don’t understand the ramifications of what happens when we “put it all out there” for the entire world to see. And our kids especially don’t understand it. They will face an entire lifetime with this kind of lack of privacy, for the rest of us, it’s all still pretty new to our lives.
In an interview Mr Schmidt said he believed that every young person will one day be allowed to change their name to distance themselves from embarrasssing photographs and material stored on their friends’ social media sites.
The 55-year-old also predicted that in the future, Google will know so much about its users that the search engine will be able to help them plan their lives.
Using profiles of it customers and tracking their locations through their smart phones, it will be able to provide live updates on their surroundings and inform them of tasks they need to do.
“We’re trying to figure out what the future of search is,” Mr Schmidt said. “One idea is that more and more searches are done on your behalf without you needing to type.
“I actually think most people don’t want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.”
It sounds like we are looking forward to a future of not one HAL 9000 but a gazillion HALs – all named Google and all inhabiting one giant monolith (pardon the sorta pun, there.) I think I’ve had an epiphany right here and right now! The mystery of the monolith in Kubrick’s movie, and Arthur C. Clarke’s fabulous book, has suddenly made itself known to me. This goes light years beyond cloud computing.
I don’t know that I’m not just a bit bothered that I will have a computer program reminding me that I need to pick up bread and bagels. And I have to disagree with Mr. Schmidt: I DO want google to answer my questions when I have them and I don’t want to be told what I need to do next or more importantly, what I need to PURCHASE next.
Things have become so different since I was in school. We actually used pencils and paper and later on, typewriters. We actually had to look up stuff in — my God — books – some of those were the Encyclopedia Britannica – and take notes. We had to write facts down more than once, which is how we learned those facts.
Now kids have facts at their finger tips and have no need to remember anything, which is what learning is. And it sounds like Google is going to make it easier yet for future generations to remain uneducated.
And one last thing that really disturbs me: I’m finding myself discovering more and more information from the British press than I’m reading from the so-called free press in the U.S.
Mosque builders won’t disclose funding while we pay Imam to travel the Middle East
Isn’t it interesting that the mosque builders won’t disclose their funding while our tax dollars are being spent for this imam to hob knob with his cohorts in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere?
Call me goofy but I can’t help but wonder if this guy isn’t using this tax paid trip to raise funds for his mosque.
Wouldn’t that be just rich? And wouldn’t they all just be laughing at those stupid Americans for financing something like that?
I can seriously entertain this notion.

Recipe: Maple Cranberry Sauce
If you haven’t seen the Wild Chef column in the new December-January issue of F&S, you’re in for a treat....
If you haven’t seen the Wild Chef column in the new December-January issue of F&S, you’re in for a treat. Our food columnist, Jonathan Miles, takes a staple tailgate cooking technique (beer-can chicken) and refines it for the home kitchen with a terrific holiday recipe–Christmas Beer-Can Goose. And because holiday feasts are as much about the side dishes as the main course, Miles also prepared the perfect side for the goose: maple cranberry sauce. We hope you enjoy.
Maple Cranberry Sauce
-2/3 cup brown sugar
-1 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
-1/3 cup pure maple syrup
In a medium saucepan combine the brown sugar with 1 cup water, stirring to dissolve. Add the maple syrup, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cranberries, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the berries pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

WILMINGTON — The Delaware Center for Horticulture and the Food Bank of Delaware announced they will once again be partnering with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society for its Harvest initiative, a collective action focused on increasing food production and security by mobilizing individual gardeners, community garden members, schools and institutions to plant crops to share with their communities.
This growing season, Harvest aims to again engage thousands in the greater Philadelphia region to help grow fresh produce and to share with those most in need. DCH will serve as the lead coordinating entity for Delaware, with FBD as the key partner for food collection and distribution, expanding the effort farther throughout the region.
With this initiative, PHS will invite thousands of gardeners to grow, share or donate. Community gardens, gardening groups, institutions and schools are also welcome to participate. This year, anyone has the option to sign up as a growing team with family, friends or neighbors to pool crops together, track collective impacts and compete for prizes.

ARLINGTON, VA. — Food industry associations in a March 18 letter urged federal, state and local leaders for an exemption from the gathering restrictions and curfews set forth to contain the COVID-19 outbreak caused by the coronavirus as consumer panic buying wipes out grocery store shelves.
“Gathering restrictions and curfews are critical for protecting Americans and helping to flatten the curve, but the unintended consequences of those efforts could be detrimental to the production of essential goods for our fellow Americans,” said Geoff Freeman, president and chief executive officer of the Consumer Brands Association, Arlington, Va. “Our industry is working around the clock to manufacture the products Americans need now more than ever. Our supply chain and production capabilities are strong, and they will remain strong so long as we are permitted to operate at full capacity.”
The US Department of Homeland Security declared critical infrastructure industries, including food and agriculture, are exempt from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance to ban gatherings of 50 or more people. Decisions to follow CDC guidance are made at the state and local level, however, and while some states and localities have exempted food, beverage and CPG manufacturing facilities, others have not.
“This lack of uniformity is leading to significant confusion and could further deteriorate if a level of consistency across states and municipalities is not achieved quickly,” stated the letter, signed by 60 groups representing food, beverage and household goods industries.
The letter also asked that essential supply chain components such as ingredient transportation, warehouses, distribution centers and retail stores are considered critical infrastructure and exempt from the restrictions.
Current supply chain challenges are due to surging demand, not a lack of supply, said Doug Baker, vice president of industry relations for FMI – The Food Industry Association, Arlington.
“Our industry has proven itself time after time in periods of emergency, as evidenced by its strength and confidence in the ability to meet the needs of the communities it serves, no matter the circumstance,” Mr. Baker said. “We are fortunate to have strong public-private partnerships with government agencies to ensure our supply chain remains both nimble and effective. Currently, we are asking for help to relax regulatory issues to get as many customers served as they can, specifically SNAP and WIC customers.
“Our European members have been tremendously helpful in communicating lessons learned with us, but we are re-writing the playbook in this current environment. Our goal is to keep Americans fed and our employees safe.”
Access to labor may be a challenge for the industry.
“We don’t know yet what impacts the virus will have on the availability of labor across the food supply chain,” said Lowell Randel, vice president of government and legal affairs at Global Cold Chain Alliance, Arlington. “The food industry is taking steps to protect their workforce, but it is important that food facilities have priority access to testing, when needed, to ensure that facilities can maintain a healthy and adequate workforce. Strong cleaning and sanitation protocols are in place across the food industry, and facilities will need to have continued access to cleaning/sanitizing products.
“In talking with our colleagues in Europe, they tell us that food facilities are continuing to operate, but access to labor has been a challenge for some. They have relayed that biggest lesson is to take action quickly to implement social distancing in facilities to help slow the spread of the virus.
“Our members in the US are already adopting strategies for social distancing, including managing shifts, staggering breaks and allowing additional time for cleaning and sanitation.”

Skiatook soldier killed in Iraq
Tuesday, February 28th 2006, 5:38 am
By: News On 6
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ A 101st Airborne Division soldier from Oklahoma died in Iraq, his mother said.
On Saturday, Army Pfc. Joshua Francis Powers, of the 101st Airborne Division based at Fort Campbell, Ky., died in southern Baghdad after having been in the country about 2 1/2 weeks, his mother, Patricia Powers, said.
Joshua Powers was the youngest of three boys and joined the Army in July. Although he dropped out of high school, his mother said he was ``extremely bright'' and immersed himself in books after he decided to become a soldier.
``He studied for about a month and passed his GED,'' she said. ``He had a real high score. We were real proud of him for doing that.''
Patricia Powers said military service wasn't exactly what her son thought it would be, but ``he was meeting that responsibility.''
Services for Powers are pending.

"As you wish....it will be here...."
– The Black Hiver, accepting Jack's request in Skellington's Revenge
The Black Hiver is a "voodoo rabbit ass" from the depths of YouTube Poop. He appears in MobrosStudios's video Skellington's Revenge as the main villain of the video. He is known for be the most evil and original villain in YouTube Poop World. He was formerly Bugs Bunny, but driven by insanity and anger, he became what you see now.
He was summoned by Jack Skellington to help him take over Christmas Time. He then agreed but with a secret devilish goal to take over Halloween without Jack knowing. Using his own dimension as his base, he teleports SpongeBob, Patrick, Heavy and the other characters there. From there on, Jack tries to make Christmas his own as Black Hiver attacks the group with the help of his army.
With the pass of the time, the Black Hiver kills and devours the protagonist's souls, gaining more and more power. Jack tells Santa Claus that the Black Hiver will be the ruler of Halloween just for this year. Later, after killing all the protagonists, SpongeBob reaches the Jack and convinces him to stop his evil misdeeds. However, the Black Hiver appears and orders Jack to destroy SpongeBob, but Jack refuses to help him anymore, Black Hiver enraged tries to kill Jack and SpongeBob.
When he kills SpongeBob he proclaims Halloween is his now and forever, he enjoys his insured victory, but not before Jack releases the souls inside his lower half of his body and the souls try to stop him. Black Hiver tries to attack Jack, but SpongeBob's soul saves Jack, allowing Jack to enchant the final words of his reverse summon. The Black Hiver is destroyed and at the same time is permanently sealed.
The Black Hiver is evil, murderous, sadistic and demonic, as he wants to conquer and rule Halloween. He was able to destroy his own allies in order to ensure his evil plan of conquest.
While showing no signs of remorse, the Black Hiver shows that he is much like any other demon. He always seem happy at suffering and torment, which is proven by his insane laughter throughout the video. He only focuses on his goals, and will stop at nothing to make them happen.
His only real goal is to rule Halloween and kill Jack. He seems to be happy to follow Jack's orders until the near end of the video, where he proves to make his own: kill everyone that interfers with his true plan.
Powers and Abilities
The Black Hiver has a lot of power when going into battle. He can create his own minions to follow him in his evil plan, as he was able to turn Scout and Soldier into robots and Fluttershy into an icy demon with chainsaws for hands. He can steal and devour the souls of his enemies, and these souls will give him more power. He can control matter and create objects that will serve as weapons (such as a yule log from his palm). He also has the ability to disguise as other people (How he was Bugs Bunny at the beginning).
However, the Black Hiver can be temporarily disabled if he comes into contact with water, as SpongeBob was able to knock him down temporally with an icy cold ball of popcorn. He may also be destroyed by the same book Jack used to summon him, only if his summoning words are reversed.
- Black Hiver is considered the most evil villain in YouTube Poop.
- He was formerly Bugs Bunny.
- When the Hiver is first introduced to the viewer, the video references The Legend Of Zelda Boss Fights by adding white text that says, "BLACK HIVER: SADISTIC HOLIDAY DEMON."
- He was voiced by Alistair McGowan, the same voice actor who voiced The Dollmaker in Alice Madness Returns.
- Black Hiver is one of the sons of Satan.

With the total value locked in DeFi plunging nearly $5 billion last week, settling to $44 billion, is the decentralized finance sector losing steam? A new analysis from investment management fund VanEck does indicate a slowdown, citing a 15.5% drop in DeFi economic activity during August. Reduced exchange volumes were a significant factor in this decline, as those slid to $52.8 billion, resulting in a $10 billion decrease from July’s figures.
These latest numbers might underscore a perceived loss of momentum in the DeFi sector, yet prospective investors remain undeterred. Blockchain Capital, a venture capital group, recently disclosed two fresh funds for crypto investments, adding up to $580 million. This funding is allocated for blockchain infrastructure, social technologies, gaming, and, indeed, DeFi.
Moreover, let’s not overlook the ongoing development of Decentralized Application (DApp) ecosystems evolving around DeFi. Chainlink and Arbitrum have a mission to empower DApp developers with high-throughput, low-cost scaling on Ethereum’s layer-2. This collaboration is a welcome boost for the sector; however, the recent attack on Balancer’s DNS service provider, leading to large-scale crypto theft, raises eyebrows over the sector’s vulnerability to security breaches.
On the one hand, we’re looking at a drop in DeFi activity and concerns over security. On the other hand, there’s augmented investor interest and constant innovations aimed at supercharging the DeFi ecosystem. It seems the decentralized finance field is shaping up to be even more unpredictable, yet alluring for stakeholders.
The real question remains – are these developments signs of a maturing market adjusting to realities, or evidence of a sector in distress? Either way, crypto enthusiasts ought to keep an eye on the unfolding DeFi narrative, weighing opportunities against challenges.


One of the hallmarks of Coach K’s 30 years and 800 wins have been his teams knack for winning close games. Yesterday, they did it again.
Facing another deficit and yet another road loss, the Blue Devils had an even bigger problem: They weren't following the instructions of their Hall of Fame coach.
So during some late breaks, Mike Krzhgbn4ski turned control of the huddle over to the players, and that strategy led to his latest milestone victory.
DeMarcus Nelson capped a remarkable late rally by making two free throws with 1:01 remaining to lift #7 Duke over N.C. State 87-86 on Saturday and give Coach K his 800th career victory.
Nelson and Jon "Crazy Face" Scheyer both scored 19 points for the Blue Devils (25-3, 12-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who used a game-closing 14-5 run to take their only lead of the half, win their third straight and snap a two-game losing streak away from Cameron Indoor Stadium.
"For a couple of late timeouts, I let anyone who would actually want to talk -- and say something that somebody would listen to -- run the huddle," Krzglpw9ski said. "Teams become really good when they talk to each other. What happens is, they take ownership. We never took ownership of this game until late in the second half."
Ben McCauley scored 19 points for N.C. State (15-14, 4-11), and he made one of two free throws with 1:11 remaining to put the Wolfpack up 86-85. He fouled Nelson 10 seconds later, and the Duke captain -- a 45 percent free throw shooter in his previous six games -- knocked down both.
The Wolfpack, who had a 13 point second-half lead only to let Duke comeback and win, is officially in the crapper.

FREDS is a service platform that provides a fast and simple way to perform building energy simulations. It helps specifiers and architects and engineers choose the most appropriate building components and systems during early design stages.
The company offers a complete and accurate evaluation of the energy and comfort performance of a building design by considering the climate, the use, the geometry and the construction of the building itself.
FREDS is a start-up born from the research developed by Marco Picco during his PhD studies. Before receiving the support from Clean Growth UK, the team had developed a demo version of the platform. Next, they needed support in making the fundamental step forward in developing a usable version of the online platform and an associated business plan for the company.
Access to funding and expertise
We helped FREDS with finance and access to academic expertise.
With our support, the company successfully applied for 2 different rounds of funding that enabled them to continue developing their product. We also brokered access to an academic team at the University of Brighton, who helped develop the code and data for the databases needed to move the product forward.
The support has helped the company progress and they now have the first version of the online platform complete and available online at www.freds4buildings.co.uk. They’re now preparing for an official launch and marketing drive.
Marco Marengo, Director of FREDS4Building, said:
“The support of Clean Growth UK has been essential to access two consecutive rounds of funding that allowed us to develop our online platform and associated databases. The support focused not only on accessing the grants, but also in the delivery of the required activities. We look forward to receive continuous support from Clean Growth UK as the company solidifies and expands”.

5e Poison Spray Spell – Toll the Dead
This spell, Toll the Dead, is a powerful psychological weapon in the Dungeons and Dragons game system. It works by striking all creatures in a radius of X feet around the target. The target can be undead, or zombies. The damage increases by one die with each level. The range of Toll the Dead also increases. It can be used against undead creatures of any range, even the living.
Toll the Dead 5e is a spell that makes the air around you ring with a sad cry. This spell requires Wisdom saving throws and deals 1d8 damage to the target. This spell is great for dungeons and dragons. However, you can mix it with scared flame 5e to make it stronger. It is also effective against casters with a fearful demeanor.
Clerics, warlocks and wizards can use Toll the Dead to honor their loved ones. It deals necrotic and is similar in function to Blight. Toll the Dead, unlike Blight, has a lower damage level and a Wisdom save. This means you can use it round-after-round without needing to burn a spell slot. And because the damage is so powerful, the spell will work on all creatures in the vicinity.
Toll the dead can harm sound creatures, but it is more effective against harmed targets. Each level also causes more damage. Each level increases the damage by one bite, so be careful when using it against sound creatures. In addition, Toll the Dead is more effective against undead and zombies, so don’t forget to play safe! You’ll be glad you chose the right spell for your character.
Poison Spray is limited to a range of 10 feet. It requires a target to make a CON saving throw. That’s the only saving throw that makes it useful when dealing with monsters. Eldritch Blast, Chill Touch and Chill Touch don’t offer saving throws so you shouldn’t rely on them. Toll the Dead is not recommended for casts on creatures that aren’t able to make the save.
Clerics and necromance spellcasters can use the Toll the Dead spell. The sound of a dolorous bell imposes chill on any target within six meters of the target. Clerics and warlocks are particularly susceptible to this effect, as they can make undead targets more vulnerable to spells based on these abilities. You can even get a Dex conserv in 5e.
Toll the Dead is a new spell in D&D, with a spiritual precursor in the 3rd Edition Death Knell. The spell emits a mournful sound that sounds like a death knell. The target must make a Wisdom save or suffer 1d8 necrotic damage, or more if it’s at full health. Toll the Dead scales with level. It’s a great spell for D&D players.

Newcomers must report independently to the Disdukcapil counter in the nearest sub-district
Jakarta (Rifyu.com) – Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Service (Disdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin said the DKI Provincial Government is collecting data for new arrivals in Jakarta without going through a population justice operation but simply using the Population Identification Number (NIK).
“The data collection is not by carrying out a population judicial operation (legal action), but by collecting data on the Population Identification Number,” Budi said in a written statement quoted on Sunday.
Budi said that in the data collection, the Disdukcapil would cooperate with RT/RW administrators and Dasawisma cadres.
Newcomers must report independently to the Disdukcapil counter in the nearest sub-district, said Budi.
“We are together with RT/RW administrators and Dasawisma cadres (PKK) to socialize to residents, if there is a newcomer in the neighborhood, they are required to submit a report to the Dukcapil counter in the village,” explained Budi.
The RT/RW administrators and Dasawisma cadres will directly monitor the presence of migrants. Those who do not report will be warned and asked to immediately go to the sub-district to report themselves.
Disdukcapil DKI Jakarta estimates that new arrivals in Jakarta will increase by 20 to 30 percent after the 2023 Eid return.
“The biggest wave of migration often occurs after Idul Fitri,” said Budi.
Disdukcapil DKI Jakarta is ready to monitor and record new arrivals, both permanent and non-permanent migration.
