Texas Cash Market recap, May 14
AUSTIN -- For the week ending May 14, feeder cattle price trends at Texas auctions were mixed, from $5 lower per hundredweight to as much as $6 higher at a few auctions. Tight supplies, lower fed cattle markets and fluctuating grain prices were again the primary influences on markets. Fed cattle prices followed wholesale beef values lower. Cotton prices declined as concerns about short-term demand more than offset the drought in Texas and other parts of the Cotton Belt. Corn, grain sorghum, and wheat prices finished the week modestly lower after the U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its projections for end-of-year corn supplies.
As for futures markets, feeder cattle, fed cattle, cotton, wheat, corn, and lumber were all lower. Much of the state east of a line from Del Rio to Wichita Falls received a half-inch or more of rain during the week with locally heavy amounts in excess of 3 inches. Most other areas received a half inch or less. Topsoil moisture was reported as adequate to short in parts of North and East Texas, and remains mostly short to very short elsewhere. The winter wheat crop was 92 percent headed and 5 percent harvested, both ahead of normal. Corn planting progressed to 93 percent complete and 70 percent of the acreage has emerged. Cotton was 36 percent planted and 72 percent of the grain sorghum was planted. Corn, rice, and soybeans were rated in mostly fair to good condition; grain sorghum was rated mostly fair to poor; and wheat and pastures were rated in mostly very poor to poor condition.
Texas Cash Markets for the week ending May 14:
•Feeder steers, $139.44/cwt

Replace Neil's title with this-Learning 2.0: Workplace Learning Professionals Take on a Broader Role and the word "audience" with "learners" and I think this slide sums up a lot of how social media changes what we do. This is a sort of elaboration on my earlier thoughts about instructional designers and trainers as digital curators that breaks it down into some more discrete kinds of roles.
I would add another role, though--Network weaver. Who you know is now as important--if not more important--than what you know. In a connected world, it's all about finding and making the right kinds of connections and as learning professionals, I think that helping learners weave these connections becomes an important aspect of our jobs. Yes, we still help people find the right content, but we also need to create the environment that helps people find each other and build effective personal learning networks.
Here's another slide from Neil's presentation. Replace the column headers with "Learning 1.0" and "Learning 2.0" and the word "consumer" with "learner," and I think this sums up how the learning space is changing thanks to social media.
It seems to me that when we incorporate social media into learning, the values inherent in that media are going to force us to change our pedagogies. For example, inherent to social media is that space is defined by the learner and the learner is in control. If social media becomes a true part of the learning equation (as is increasingly the case for many people), this means learners creating PLEs and defining their own learning plans and objectives. I suspect that the more we use social media in other areas of life and work, the more it's going to shape our expectations about how we participate in learning. If we're used to participating in two-way conversations and being able to influence our environments, how content will we be to participate in "Learning 1.0" where we're expected to just sit back and absorb what we're being told?
What do you think? Am I off-base or do these things make sense? How do you think social media is shaping learning?
UPDATE--Beth Kanter reminded me of a whole post with resources she did on effective online network weaving.

Hood River, April 1st, 2015- Double Mountain Brewery is proud to announce our new packaging line of your favorite Double Mountain beers in uncrushable, refillable 16.9oz cans! So on your way to your favorite destination, you can take our beer in an aluminum can, then be cleaned, refilled and enjoyed again and again!
“There is some new technology that has come out of the Czech republic that allows aluminum to be cleaned and refilled multiple times”, says Brewmaster and owner Matt Swihart. Swihart says he used his ties and background in the defense aerospace industry to incorporate titanium in the aluminum alloy to make the can uncrushable and also cleanable.
“We are so proud to bring the beer out in the new package”, says Greg Balch, head brewer, “finally I can go disc golfing and not lug around a whole keg or clinking bottles in my bag, this is so much easier, and Matt says “I’m pretty sure that they withstand the hyper Mach speeds of space travel.”
Swihart goes on and on about his known concerns of packaging in aluminum cans…. “Because we’ve eliminated the chemical can lining typically used, replacing it by using Titanium which makes it uncrushable”. To eliminate the ubiquitous problem of getting high air (oxygen) content in cans, Double Mountain will fill the cans in space. “I used to work on the National Aerospace Plane, so its easy for us to design a space vehicle using one of the fuel tanks to hold beer, then we fill the cans in the vacuum of orbit so there is no chance of getting oxygen into the cans”, Swihart goes on. (and on and on for that matter without mentioning the fact that there is still no functioning Aerospace Plane).”
Double Mountain canned beer, now in cans, now cleanable, now reusable, slightly higher carbon footprint, filled in space!

Killing of judge’s relatives points to Internet’s potential to breed ‘lone wolf’ supremacists
But authorities say the white-power movement doesn’t need Hale, who once held rock-star status among skinheads, to be dangerous. It has the Internet.
“Someone with a computer and a DSL line who starts following this stuff thinks he’s going to be a hero if he kills someone,” said Pat Webb, a former San Francisco FBI agent who investigated the Aryan Nation in 1984. “It would be a mistake to underestimate these people’s potential for violence.”
The Web was where white supremacist groups posted a barrage of hateful information about the judge Hale plotted to kill, Joan Humphrey Lefkow, before her husband and mother were slain last week in her home in Illinois.
Hale’s now ragtag group, the World Church of the Creator, has been linked to some of the most vicious and brutal hate crimes in recent years, including a spate of synagogue fires in Sacramento and the murder of a gay couple in Shasta County six years ago.
The California crime spree started after two brothers, Benjamin and James Williams, read the group’s Web site and became followers. They shot Winfield Mowder and Gary Matson in their Happy Valley home in 1999 because homosexuality is abhorrent to white supremacists. After Benjamin Williams committed suicide in jail, his brother pleaded guilty to the murders.
The Williams brothers also caused more than $3 million in damage when they torched three Sacramento synagogues in 1999. When they were arrested, police found they had compiled a list of prominent Jewish leaders who authorities believed may have been future targets.
Some question whether other Internet followers of the World Church of the Creator read the online postings about Lefkow, which included her address in Chicago, and were inspired to kill her husband, Michael, a lawyer and leader in the local Episcopal Church, and her 89-year-old mother, Donna Humphrey.
Lefkow found them shot to death in her basement Monday evening. She and her four daughters remain under federal protection while police try to solve the crimes.
“It’s quite likely that the killers in the Lefkow case were followers or sympathizers of Hale’s who came by the judge’s address and pictures of her family online,” said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which collects information on hate groups. “The Internet has given rise to the lone wolf. And with the lone wolf comes the potential for greater violence.”
Judge labeled a traitor
Hale was convicted last year of soliciting Lefkow’s murder and is awaiting sentencing. The man he approached to be the hit man was an FBI informant.
The white supremacist had gone before Judge Lefkow on a trademark case. A religious group from Oregon was suing the World Church of the Creator, saying it had the name first. Lefkow originally ruled in favor of Hale, but an appeals court overruled her and the judge was forced to order the white supremacist group not to use the title.
Almost immediately after her ruling, the World Church of the Creator branded Lefkow a “probable Jew” and a “kike- and nigger-loving” traitor who was trying to destroy the group and its Web site, according to Potok. Then other white supremacist Web sites printed the judge’s address.
Although Hale has not been named as a suspect in the killings, police have reportedly interviewed him in jail and are looking at white supremacist groups.
Hale denies any involvement, calling the killings a “heinous crime” that “only an idiot” would think he had ordered, according to a statement he released through his mother to the Associated Press.
“I totally condemn it and I want the perpetrator caught and prosecuted,” he said.
In the meantime, the World Church of the Creator, now called The Creativity Movement, is leaderless. During the group’s heyday, the organization had 88 chapters across the country, according to Potok. Now, he said, it has 16.
Hale took over as leader in 1996, when he was just 25 years old. Bill Klassen, who had invented an early version of the electric can opener, founded the then-Church of the Creator in 1973. But by the ’90s, the organization was floundering, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which also tracks hate groups. Several of its members had been convicted of violent crimes, including the murder of a black Gulf War veteran in Florida and the bombing of an NAACP office in Washington. The group had been successfully sued by the veteran’s family, and Klassen had committed suicide in 1993.
Hale, an avowed racist since reading Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” when he was 12, was named the group’s “pontifex maximus” by other members and took over the operation. He ran it from a bedroom in his father’s house in East Peoria, Ill., surrounded by his stuffed animals, swastikas and an Israeli flag he used as a doormat.
Hale immediately made use of cyberspace, saying the Internet “has the potential to reach millions of white people with our message and we need to act on that,” according to the ADL.
The World Church of the Creator’s main site contained information ranging from how to join to tips on how to spread the word to commandments such as, “You shall keep your race pure. Pollution of the White Race is a heinous crime against Nature and against your own race.”
The ADL says in addition to that site, the group had more than 30 subsidiary sites.
When not conducting chat rooms on the Internet, the young law student Hale preached the gospel of white superiority in libraries across the nation. Unlike his skinhead followers with their steel-tipped boots and T-shirts, Hale wore a suit and tie. He had a penchant for attracting press and appeared on a number of network news shows.
“Hale was certainly a driving force and still has a number of sergeants around the country,” said Jonathan Bernstein, the Northern California director of the ADL.
In 1999, even before the Williams brothers went on their rampage, the World Church of the Creator was making headlines. After the Illinois State Bar refused to give Hale a license to practice law, his friend and follower Benjamin Smith singled out Jews, African Americans and Asian Americans in the Midwest. He killed two people and wounded nine others.
“After the Ben Smith killings, some members of the group were forced underground,” Bernstein said. “Others, like the Williamses, may have been emboldened by it.”
Booted in Wyoming
After Hale’s arrest two years ago, Thomas Kroenke, a fired Wyoming corrections officer, announced that he was taking over the World Church of the Creator and moving its headquarters to that state in Riverton.
But, according to Potok, the locals didn’t take kindly to Kroenke and his Aryan movement.
“The banks wouldn’t open checking accounts for him and delivery boys refused to bring him pizzas,” Potok said. Kroenke left town and hasn’t been heard from since.
During his incarceration, Hale has been unable to keep the group cohesive. Some followers suggested in 2003 that the group change the way it does business by becoming a leaderless resistance, making itself less vulnerable to “disruption or destruction,” according to the ADL.
ADL officials said Hardy Lloyd, a Pittsburgh member of the Creativity movement, announced that the days of “memberships and street rallies” were over and that “the time of the lone wolf is drawing ever nearer.”

The many benefits of cannabis are up to the amount of individuals who are announcing “I would like more bud.” There is a lot of information on the market within this but what the heck is not identified is if it’s an obsessive substance. This is one of the most dubious research done. It was actually finished on older people many forms of cancer patients in Canada. Exactly what they found was that clients who had been offered specified pinedges which contain some THC (tetra-marijuana) documented sensing less pain and suffering from a lot fewer side-effects than affected individuals who were not because of the marijuana.
In case you have any concerns regarding where and also the way to employ online headshop, you are able to email us in the website.
That specific investigation completed by Le Juang-vuque College is going to be publicized in an upcoming dilemma of Dependency. The THC on the cannabis they utilised had not been “THC” as you may know it but alternatively two other substances found in cannabis named Cannabidiol and cannabinol. These are called CB1 and CB2. But simply what does your body do in the event it gets both of these chemical compounds? Do we get hooked on them?
You will need to explain that Le Juang-vuque failed to notice that individuals who are given cannabis experienced an improved chance of hurting liver organ failure. That connection may very well be described by an additional aspect, even though they performed realize that these people who received their medical marijuana often had been more prone to review troubled with liver issues. They also failed to realize that the 2 chemicals, cannabinol and cannabidiol, could help anyone lose fat. All they identified was that anytime both these substances were definitely coupled, the people were actually more unlikely that to be affected by adverse reactions. The research learned that a lower number of people today lived with cancer, nevertheless they could not evaluate if the lack of chemotherapy or rays remedy was the main cause.
Other new research indicates great things about marijuana for treating some kinds of cancers. Within a examine publicized in Science Translational Drugs, leukemia body cells proved a powerful contra –many forms of cancer results when investigators uncovered that they were capable to raise the pastime of their body cells. This will show to be an authentic boon for anyone with chronic cancers with issues distributing their sickness with other parts of the body. Leukemia, like a number of myeloma, is an ruthless tumors, and researchers are confident that concentrating on the infection with weed can be helpful during the combat with it.
Yet another investigation performed in the School of Glasgow revealed that people clinically determined to have constant obstructive pulmonary ailment or COPD could lessen their regular symptoms affiliated with this illness utilizing cannabis. Tobacco smokers reported lowered lung functionality and elevated suffering patience in comparison to no-marijuana those that smoke. The benefit for those cancer malignancy patients was their all around health was increased. The ability to lessen symptoms affiliated with COPD has noticeable benefits for people who experience the condition.
The College of Wisconsin Madison just recently undertaken research finished on post-disturbing strain ailment during which people with either PTSD and recurring agony received weed. It was learned that sufferers with PTSD seasoned a noticeable difference within their warning signs as well as an general reduction in their rate of frame of mind swings, anxiousness and despression symptoms. While the effects are still preliminary, this is an pushing discovering that shows offer for taking care of the down sides related to publish-stressful stress and anxiety disorder with a shrub which might be more powerful than standard therapies like prescribed drugs. This will make sense considering that the two forms of intellectual health issues talk about several signs, such as spasticity, which frequently will cause serious health issues.
Patients experiencing MS are in a really special problem, as there are many different sorts of MS. A number of sclerosis patients could have problems affiliated with spasticity and major depression and anxiousness. The most common problems of a number of sclerosis sufferers is stiffness and muscular exhaustion. Some individuals may feel all three at the same time, producing critical and incapacitating issues which could be taken out by making use of cannabis regularly.
There is no conclusive solution in regards to the question of whether cannabis can ease the signs of MS. Precisely what is very clear is that it might help to take comfort for some affected individuals, and it is currently being analyzed to be a cure option. Regardless that you can find no concrete primary advantages of marijuana for MS, there are plenty of anecdotal records so it has helped to relieve most of the warning signs. This is an interesting area to analyze and can even help you to pave exactly how when it comes to an revolutionary and helpful cure selection for sufferers all over the world.

The generosity of a local church in Tennessee is going directly to reach women facing unexpected pregnancies, as Life Church recently donated $4,500 to the Cookeville (Tenn.) Pregnancy Clinic.
Life Church, which is located just a mile from the campus of Tennessee Tech University, drives a monthly project they call the “Dollar Club,” where they ask everyone in the church to give one dollar to a specific ministry or need within the community.
The church’s target for the month of September, the Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic first opened in 1988. Under current executive director Nancy Knowlton, who has guided the organization since 1995, the clinic has added free on-site ultrasound services and a mobile ultrasound unit through ICU Mobile.
Funds raised through the Dollar Club are going toward the upkeep of the mobile unit, which gives the clinic the ability to serve key locations around a college campus of over 10,000 students.
[Click here to subscribe to Pregnancy Help News!]
In fact, Knowlton first came to Cookeville as a college student, and experienced two abortions as a young woman prior to becoming a Christian and a long-time champion for life.
“Back then, I was a wild woman in general,” Knowlton said on a video interview produced by Life Church. “I found out I was pregnant and I was scared to death. I didn’t want to tell my mom, and there was no voice of life in Cookeville. Everybody around here told me abortion was the way to go.”
Thanks to Knowlton and the Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic, that’s no longer the case.

Patria’s CEO Mr. Jorma Wiitakorpi has submitted his resignation to the Board of Directors. Mr. Wiitakorpi and the Board have agreed that Mr. Wiitakorpi renounces his position with immediate effect. The ongoing criminal investigation of the activities of Patria’s certain subsidiaries has led to a situation which could substantially reduce the outward credibility of Mr. Wiitakorpi and therefore his ability to act as the CEO.
The internal investigation has brought up no evidence implying that Mr. Wiitakorpi would have been aware of or involved in the suspected criminal activities. The police investigation continues.
Mr. Wiitakorpi will be released from his duties with immediate effect but will remain in Patria’s employment as a senior advisor to the new CEO until spring 2009. Mr. Wiitakorpi assumed his post in 2001. During his period as the CEO Patria’s business experienced strong growth and Patria became one of the leading companies in the industry. Patria will extend Mr. Wiitakorpi a severance pay equaling one year’s wages.
The board has appointed Mr. Heikki Allonen (54) as the new CEO from August 18, 2008. Allonen has acted as the CEO of Fiskars Oyj in 2003-2008. He has been a member of Patria’s board since spring 2008. He is also a member of the board in various other companies.
"It’s unfortunate that we have had to make this decision. During the past two years as the Chairman of the Board I have come to know Jorma Wiitakorpi as an industry expert as well as a leader who’s willing to stick his neck out. A good reputation is essential to Patria as a technology company. By taking this step Mr. Wiitakorpi and the board want to show that the suspicions of illegal activities are taken seriously. Heikki Allonen is an experienced CEO and I believe he will win the support of customers and other stakeholders. Especially important is the support of every Patria employee”, says Chairman of the Board Risto Virrankoski.
Patria’s owners, the State of Finland and EADS, have expressed their support for the changes and their confidence in the continued development of Patria’s operations.

Not sure where to
start with crypto?
Dip your toe in with:
In the current markets, EDUCATING yourself on what’s unfolding could be far more beneficial to your long-term wealth than any single recommendation. Here’s why…
Crypto Capital Foundation is for you if you believe in the potential of cryptocurrency...but you’re not sure where to start...
You realise bear markets are just a phase, but you’d prefer to take your time to learn as much as possible before fully diving in...
You want expert insight into crypto winters...and the often-misunderstood world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology...
And clear, step-by-step guidance that transcends both the hype and the hate that infests the mainstream conversation.
It’s for you if you sense that times like this are the EXACT POINTS to make your move into this exciting asset.
My name is Ryan Dinse.
I’m the editor of Crypto Capital Foundation.
I spent the best part of two decades in the mainstream finance world.
But in 2013, I moved into the digital asset space. I’ve owned Bitcoin [BTC] as low as US$150.
When I started my crypto journey in 2013, I spent most of my time just looking at bitcoin.
It was in a bear market for two years. There wasn’t the volume of cryptocurrencies that there are today.
That made it easier to focus on it.
And to this day, it allows me to use bitcoin as the technological benchmark from which to judge other projects.
I’m going to try and recreate this pathway for you in my new advisory…
Crypto Capital Foundation
This service is for you if you want a deeper understanding of the crypto world — including practical, hand-holding steps to enable you to make your first investment in bitcoin...when you feel ready.
For this, you won’t need any speculative recommendations just yet. You can take that step later if you wish.
This is about giving you the foundational support, knowledge, and guidance as this new world grows.
You’ll learn why bitcoin has value...and how the blockchain has enabled entirely new ways of owning, trading, creating, and sharing value...
How the ‘smart money’ is using this bear market in crypto to its advantage...and what it’s buying and why...
I’ll then show you how crypto income streams are possible.
All these things that are actually MORE EFFECTIVE to learn and read about in a bear market than in a bull market.
As you’ll see, the crypto projects that can survive and thrive without hype...are likely the projects to lead the next bull market phase too.
Perhaps most helpfully, I’ll show the kinds of things I’m doing with my own money right now.
My portfolio is 37% invested in crypto.
I hope you’ll learn by watching what I’m doing...what I’m testing and trying...and who I’m doing it with.
If that sounds valuable to you, then I invite you to join me in Crypto Capital Foundation.
When you do, you'll get a bunch of resources that will arm you with EVERYTHING you need to know at this specific point in the cycle...
‘The Crypto Capital Blueprint: Practical, Step-by-Step Guidance for Buying Bitcoin (and Other Big Established Cryptos) Right Now’
I know it can be daunting to enter this space. Now...at this point of maximum pessimism/maximum opportunity...even more so.
This resource will be absolutely invaluable to you.
‘The Crypto Capital Blueprint’ walks you through EVERYTHING...from the basics of setting up a wallet and buying your first bitcoin...right through to how bitcoin mining works, safely storing your cryptos, the pros and cons of exchanges, and much more. It’s a full compendium of all the practical knowledge you’ll need to hit the ground running.
‘Why the Old Money System Will Collapse on Itself: And How to Position Yourself for What Comes Next’
To understand what comes next after this bear market...and how it might evolve...you have to understand what came before.
So first, you’ll get a quick tour of the history of the global monetary system. This is essential knowledge in understanding the true value proposition of bitcoin. It will also give you the ability to see crypto volatility in a new light.
From there, we’ll do a deep dive into bitcoin. Why it will remain the top dog for some time to come...where it could go from here...how to treat your holding if you already own it...and THE BEST STRATEGY FOR BUYING RIGHT NOW if you don’t.
‘How to Build a Lock-Up Portfolio Like a Pro: Strategies for Allocating Your Crypto Capital at Basement Prices’
OK, so let’s say you want to USE this bear market to start piecing together a portfolio of crypto from the ground up. HOW DO YOU DO IT?
How much should you allocate? In what proportions? In what order, and over what time frame? This is a practical look at how to tackle allocation at this pivotal point in crypto history...
‘Could This Be the Start of Your Own Crypto Dynasty? Ethereum Explained — What It Is, the Role It Plays, and How to Buy’
You’ll have heard of Ethereum [ETH]. But you might not know what makes it different from bitcoin. And how it’s actually an even more important key to creating intergenerational wealth from cryptos, starting now.
In this report, I’ll give you a brief history of how Ethereum came to be...what makes it different to bitcoin...the role I see it playing in the years ahead...and how and when to buy...
‘A Paradigm Shift in Finance Is Coming Fast: DeFi Explained and One Recommendation to Get Your Foothold’
In this report, I recommend a very easy way to claim your stake in the emerging world of decentralised finance — DeFi for short. I’ll give you clear instructions on how you can do this in the ‘action to take’ section at the end. Read that part very carefully when you get there. But first, I delve into the background of DeFi, and where I see the space evolving next...
‘The Way to Generate Income from Your “Speculative Savings”’
Here I’ll show you a strategy for generating income from stablecoins. At this stage, though, I call this ‘speculative savings’. Be aware they come with a lot more risk than a real savings account. So make sure you read the risks section in full at the end before you do anything. But, as you’ll see, I personally use the strategies in this report with six-figure amounts...so I’m literally putting my own money where my mouth is!
You’ll also get...

Look, if you want experience, deep knowledge, and expert guidance on the crypto world...this is the best way to get started.

No hidden fees, no questions asked.
That’s a generous offer, but I don’t mind making it because I’m confident you’re going to enjoy everything you receive.
My bet is that in a few years from now, we’ll look back on this stage of the crypto cycle like the dotcom crash in 2000.
Yes, it may have been ugly at the time…but those who held on, and even bought into weakness, set themselves up for a windfall in the years ahead.
If you want to be one of the smart cookies…who bought the right things…at the depth of their unpopularity…and put yourself in the frame to make a lot of money by the end of this decade…
Then join me in Crypto Capital Foundation today.
To get started, fill in your details below and hit ‘Confirm Payment’.
I look forward to seeing you inside.

An Abbeville man is dead, and two others are injured, after an early morning crash in Lafayette Parish. Troopers say it happened just before 5:30 am on US Highway 90 at Verot School Road. Troopers say 30-year-old Hilmar Estrada of Bunkie, was driving a 2005 International 18-wheeler cane hauler east on US Highway 90 approaching Verot School Road. A 2008 Nissan Altima, driven by 43-year-old Billy Meaux of Abbeville, and a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by Billy Bourque of Lafayette, were turning left from Verot School Road onto US Highway 90. Troopers say Estrada failed to stop at a red signal light and struck both vehicles on the driver side. Troopers indicated that both Meaux and Bourque had a green signal light allowing them to enter the intersection. After hitting the two vehicles, Estrada's 18-wheeler overturned.
Estrada and Bourque were both restrained and were transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries. Meaux was also restrained; however, he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lafayette Parish Coroner.
Troopers have obtained toxicology samples and they will be submitted to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
Estrada has been cited for failing to stop for a red signal. This crash remains under investigation.

UK-EU future relationship negotiating timetable: extending the transition
Future relationship negotiating timetable, the briefing commented on extending the transition: “This briefing sets out the timetable for the UK-EU future relationship negotiations. It provides an overview of the debate on whether the post-Brexit transition period should be extended, and explains the process for extending this period.” The briefing continues: “Some commentators have suggested that an implementation or transition phase similar to the current transition period could be agreed as part of a new future relationship agreement. Both the UK and EU have expressed scepticism towards this idea.” SOURCE: UK-EU future relationship negotiating timetable: extending the transition, Stefano Fella, House of Commons Library, 2 June 2020

Australia's Great Barrier Reef, one of the largest coral reefs in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage area, is facing a more extreme threat than previously thought, the local marine park authority said on Sunday.
The reef has been in danger of coral bleaching–a phenomenon that happens as a result of rising ocean temperatures and industrial pollution–for years. But the marine park authority raised the threat level to the reef to its highest ever on Sunday as an environmental group, WWF-Australia, also released video taken over the weekend showing extensive bleaching:
In June last year, Australia's environment minister Greg Hunt submitted a report to UNESCO to avoid the reef being classified as a world heritage area "in danger," arguing that the government had a plan in place to minimize damage to the reef.
Environmentalists have criticized the government, saying they haven't been taking proactive steps to ensure the reef's survival. Scientists are concerned about the latest development The Sydney Morning Herald reports:
Professor Justin Marshall, an ecologist at the University of Queensland who is involved with CoralWatch, said the Lizard Island reefs had been 90 to 100% bleached, and he had observed similar levels of bleaching in nearby outer stretches such as cod hole, wedge reef and no name reef
"I have never seen coral this heavily bleached," he said. "And we are seeing algae growing on parts, which means it has died.".
Meanwhile, the Australian government has called for corporate sponsors to rehabilitate the reef, a move that environmentalists say side-steps real solutions like curbing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions and investment in coal production.

Finally heard from the landlord this morning. He thinks there is a problem with the HVAC system that is installed in the toe wall on the third floor. The first time we had a leak it was in the condensation pan of the HVAC, but they are thinking the problem has returned – only worse. The more I thought about it I began to wonder if this problem could also explain why me heating bill was extra high this past month (the highest we’ve every had) and the heating fan in the common hallway has been running nearly all the time the last few weeks.
The landlord will have his maintenance manager come and evaluate the system tomorrow. If the problem is the HVAC system they will have to make those repairs (or whatever repairs need to made) then they will have to replace the walls that have been damaged. There may also be some sub-floor and carpeting to be replaced. It looks like my sewing room is going to be a mess for a few weeks.
This is what my sewing table looks like right now including the little bit of sewing space I've allowed myself at the moment. I'm re-evaluating how I was using the closet as storage space. The closet was already overflowing, not with fabric as much as batting, project containers, completed tops and two small bookcases filled with stuff.
While cleaning out my sewing closet yesterday I found a pattern I thought I had given away. It is the pattern for my Quilters Necessary Wallet I made last fall. I wanted to make myself the small one and hadn't been able to find the pattern. This morning I pulled the fabric (and got to use scraps in the process). From start to finish it took me about two hours to make this wallet. I love it!
I decided that since I have been in the house since Friday night (other than a one hour trip to the LQS) and I'm stressed over my sewing room I needed some retail therapy. I went to the LQS to buy the rest of the fabric I need for my Depression blocks. Then I went to Home Depot to buy a water filter for the fridge and to get some storage ideas. While I was there I grabbed a pamphlet with the official team color paint that Glidden makes and Home Depot sells. I'm hosting a baseball block swap on my Quilting Sports and Friends Yahoo Group and needed to see all the team colors for the blocks. (If you like some info about my Baseball Block Swap just ask and I'll fill you in on the details. Next stop was Target. Nothing in particular to shop for but since it is next door to Home Depot I couldn't resist. I found this adorable light switch cover and couldn't resist - another $2.50 buy. The holes aren't placed properly, but one screw is holding up well. Of course, it's in my sewing room. It amazes me that I can spend so little money once in a while and be so satisfied with my purchases. It makes the bigger purchases I make feel better.
I worked some more on my Depression blocks this afternoon. I have enough HSTs made from 12 blocks. I only need to make another 64 HSTs. I don't mind making HSTs. It's kind of fun.
It's almost dinnertime. DH is grilling boneless ribeyes for dinner and there are baked potatoes and butternut squash roasting in the oven. Tonight we are going to watch Talladega Nights with Will Ferrell. Tomorrow it's back to work and I think for once I don't mind going to work.

F.D.A. Approves First Vaccine To Prevent Hepatitis A Infection
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
Published: February 23, 1995
Federal health officials yesterday licensed the first vaccine in the United States to prevent hepatitis A, a serious and common viral liver infection.
The Food and Drug Administration said it gave SmithKline Beecham P.L.C. approval to sell the vaccine. The company said it would begin distributing the vaccine, Havrix, in the next several weeks.
Hepatitis A can cause loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, which are often followed one to two weeks later by a yellowing of the skin known as jaundice. The yellowing is a result of a buildup of bile pigments in the blood that follows the liver damage from the hepatitis. Many people suffer mild hepatitis A infections without jaundice.
The virus is primarily spread by fecal contamination of food and water or through person-to-person contact.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta says hepatitis A cases are considerably underreported in this country. About 23,000 cases are officially reported each year, but epidemiologists at the Federal agency in Atlanta estimate that the virus infects 150,000 Americans each year.
Hepatitis A is much more common in many other countries, including Mexico and parts of the Caribbean. SmithKline Beecham estimated that 24 million Americans who visit countries where hepatitis A is prevalent are at risk.
Most people will be protected 15 days after receiving a single injection of the hepatitis A vaccine, Dr. Lewis Markoff, an official of the agency, said in an interview.
The United States was the 41st country to license Havrix. An F.D.A. spokeswoman said the agency wanted to be sure that the vaccine caused no significant adverse effects. An estimated 1.3 million people in Europe and Asia have received Havrix since 1991.
Hepatitis A vaccine is eventually expected to replace immune globulin as a means to prevent infection.


I know it is hard to believe, but it is true. Congress passed a bill:
On a broad bipartisan vote of 78 to 20, the Senate voted Tuesday to extend the life of the U.S. Export-Import Bank and expand its authority to make loans to U.S. exporters.
In the “Schoolhouse Rock” version of how Capitol Hill works, this is what Congress does all the time—passes legislation. But it made for big news on this Capitol Hill, where protracted partisan warfare has meant that lately the story has more often been about votes forced by one party or the other to indignantly demonstrate the other’s opposition.
Amid the gridlock, it had been nearly six weeks since the last time Congress completed this seemingly routine task.

Bewley’s has announced a special partnership with Café Femenino.
The partnership will introduce a new Peruvian coffee to Irish consumers that supports and empowers women farmers and their communities.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Bewley’s Café Femenino is a single origin speciality grade Fairtrade organic coffee from Peru that is supplied by female co-operative owners around the globe.
The coffee brand celebrated the launch of Bewley’s Café Femenino at Avoca on Suffolk Street in Dublin.
Anna Daly, Michele McGrath and Dr Clodagh Campbell felt the fememino effect as they stepped out at the launch.
Teo Sutra and her adorable daughter Lili Rose were also spotted.
Café Femenino is a charity partnership with women coffee farmers who have challenged the male-dominated coffee farming industry in South America.
They are community-focused and work to ensure the quality coffee they produce creates good in their communities by training, developing and investing in the local land, communities and resources.
Women in remote and rural coffee communities all over the world face a host of challenges that keep them trapped in poverty.
Many of these isolated women live in male-dominated societies and have very little financial control or decision-making power.
Café Femenino is a women-led speciality coffee brand that provides direct compensation, leadership opportunities and ownership rights to women coffee farmers.
The coffee is grown exclusively on farms owned and operated by women, who are paid directly for the coffee they produce.
Looking to provide consumers across Ireland with delicious, high-quality Fairtrade coffee and the opportunity to choose a coffee that empowers women, Bewley’s have partnered with Café Femenino to develop a single origin speciality grade organic coffee from Peru that will invest in the future of an ethical supply chain and support women farmers and their communities.

Access to two areas of Les Minquiers is restricted from today.
Parts of the reef have been designated Areas of Special Protection under Jersey's Wildlife Law.
It bans anyone from entering seabird breeding grounds, using drones there or taking dogs ashore.
It's to safeguard nesting sites of common terns, European shags, great cormorants, and great black-backed gulls.
“During the spring and summer months, the Minquiers welcomes lots of visits from Islanders and tourists, so this Order should help minimise any human disturbance to ensure the seabirds that nest there are safe and hopefully have a successful nesting season.” - Deputy Jonathan Renouf, Environment Minister.
Chair of the Maîtresse Île Residents Association, John Le Gresley, says the group fully supports of the protection areas:
“We’ve had helpful discussions with the Department during the drafting stage of the Order, and believe there is room for positive environmental co-existence between humans and the nesting wildlife at the Minquiers.”
Four areas of Les Ecrehous were designated last year.
• entering a breeding area, except in an emergency
• operating a vessel at a speed of 5 knots or more, except in an emergency
• using or operating an unmanned aerial vehicle, unless authorised by the Minister for Environment
• using or operating a laser
• discharging a firearm or ceremonial gun
• lighting a firework
• lighting a bonfire (except for a barbecue)
• bringing a dog onto land, unless authorised in writing by the Minister for Environment
• playing a recording of a bird song, bird calls, or other sounds which may attract, alarm, or otherwise disturb a protected wild bird
• playing music at a volume which may alarm or otherwise disturb a protected wild bird.
The order will be in place until the end of August.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has demonstrated his leadership capabilities through the Bharat Jodo Yatra, according to TMC MP Shatrughan Sinha. In an interview with PTI, Sinha expressed confidence that Gandhi’s 3,570-km-long march, commencing in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, would contribute to doubling the Congress’s seat count in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, considering their 2019 tally of 52 seats.
Sinha praised the Bharat Jodo Yatra for garnering a positive response, attributing it to Rahul Gandhi’s charisma and the genuine support of the people. He anticipated that the yatra would significantly enhance the Congress’s parliamentary representation in the upcoming elections. Sinha emphasized that Gandhi’s walking tour distinguished itself from BJP leaders’ “Rath yatras,” noting the substantial public turnout in support of the Congress leader.
Addressing the transformation in public perception, Sinha, a former BJP MP who later joined the TMC, remarked that those who once dismissed Rahul Gandhi as ‘Pappu’ had been proven wrong. Despite the BJP’s mockery, Sinha challenged them to undertake a similar foot journey if they possessed the same determination. He affirmed his belief that Rahul Gandhi’s appeal would have a significant impact in the forthcoming elections.
Regarding the Gujarat elections, Sinha predicted that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could emerge as either the “kingmaker or the king” himself. He attributed this potential outcome to a shifting dynamic within the saffron camp and emphasized Kejriwal’s strategic move of advocating for images of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh on currency notes.
Sinha asserted that Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, would be a “game-changer” in the 2024 Lok Sabha election and expressed hope for improved relations between the TMC and the Congress. He underscored the fluid nature of political alliances, suggesting that collaboration among major opposition parties could reshape the country’s political landscape.
Responding to queries about the face of the opposition in the 2024 elections, Sinha emphasized that the electorate would ultimately decide the right leader based on numbers and mandates. He pointed out the growing momentum of anti-BJP parties in various states and criticized the BJP for what he deemed as politically motivated “missing” posters in his constituency of Asansol.
Sinha dismissed these posters as the work of those unable to accept defeat in the recent by-election and asserted his consistent presence in Asansol, attested by the local residents.

The Carry-On Queen
How to pack lighter & smarter
I consider myself a carry-on queen. I use a two-piece luggage combo consisting of a hard-shell 20-inch carry-on and a 14-inch mini cosmetic case. When I pack, I use one side of my luggage for shoes and pajamas. I use the enclosed other side for my clothes. In my mini cosmetic bag, I keep all my necessities, such as toiletries, wallet/passport, headphones, hair products, sunglasses, a pen, and a small notepad. Depending on the occasion, I may add additional items as needed, such as books, makeup, and so on.
Here are some tips for packing a carry-on:
Only pack the essentials.
Choose versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits.
Roll your clothes instead of folding them to save space.
Use packing cubes to keep your belongings organized.
Pack a small cosmetic bag with your toiletries.
Bring a change of clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is lost.
Wear your heaviest shoes while traveling to save space in your bag.
Be sure to bring your passport and any other necessary documentation.
By following these tips, you can easily pack a carry-on for any trip.

text: One of a series of five outputs produced under a small project for the Renewable Natural Resources and Agriculture Team of the UK Department for International Development (DFID). The objective of the project was to identify the implications of climate change for key areas of DFID’s Agricultural Policy and the Renewable Natural Resources and Agriculture (RNRA) Team portfolio and to produce a series of practical outputs to assist the RNRA team in programme implementation and communication. This paper supports the call for the mainstreaming’ (integration) of climate change within development policy. Addressing the impacts through mainstreaming climate change is likely not only to benefit development interventions aimed at reducing poverty but also to enhance the capacity of communities to cope through more robust adaptation options. It may also help mitigate the effects.
