Report published by Gara.
Important names from Catalan culture such as Luis Llach, Jaume Cabré and Montserrat Carulla, as well as political representatives yesterday joined the campaign “Free Otegi, Free them All”. They did it in an act which took place in Barcelona, at which participated, among others, Gabriela Serra, August Gil de Matamala and close friends and family members of the prisoner in Logroño.
The handing over of an olive tree on the part of the promotors to relatives of Arnaldo Otego present yesterday in Barcelona, in a clear allusion to the olive branch extended by the Aberztale leader in Anoeta in 2004, resumed yesterday’s act.
In the Catalan Countries they don’t let the extended branch fall. A sign of that was that the manifesto “Freedom for Arnaldo Otegi; Bring Basque prisoners home”, presented this past March in the European Parliament in Brussels, received yesterday a long list of adhesions coming from the political, cultural and academic world of the Catalan Countries. An explicit support in an act which took place yesterday afternoon in the Centre Internacional Escarré per a les Minories Etniques i les Naciones (Ciemen) of Barcelona, in which participated signatories, as well as Julia Arregi and Hodei Otego, the companion and son of the Abertzale leader imprisoned in Logroño.
With the presence of distinguished people such as David Fernandez (CUP, Joan Tardá (ERC), wrier Julia de Jódar and the professor fo the UAB Joan Subirats in the hall, the president of Ciemen, Carles Riera, opened by declaring his “profound indignation” for the situation of Otegi, which he presented as “one of so many unjust imprisonments for political reasons. The act continues with the human rights activist Gabriela Serra, who was in charge of reading the manifesto, not without before reclaiming that “facing the absolute blindness and deafness of some concerning the rights of the prisoners, and their relatives, the only thing is to continue”. Following her was the veteran and renowned jurist August Gil Matamala, who began in a clear way: “It’s the fourth manifesto that I sign for the freedom of Otegi, this is a monumental legal and political scandal”. Gil de Matamala was in charge of going over the legal incongruences that brought the Abertzale leader to prison and ended with a warning: “They seek the twisted way of impeding that he can present himself in the elections. They will have it difficult, but nothing is impossible in this Kingdom of arbitrariness”.
From Convergencia to Podemos, a plural adherence
Joined in a confused electoral campaign with an uncertain final, it isn’t easy today to join the diverse political sensibilities present in Catalonia in a common action. In the list of the Catalan adhesions to the campaign “Free Otegi, Free Them All” we find, however political representatives who come Convergencia (Victor terradellas) to Podemos (the lawyer and councillor for Barcelona for Comú, Jaume Asens), passing for the least surprising firms of the deputy of CUP David Fernandez, the deputy Gemma Calvet and the congressman Joan Tardá, and until recently the head of the ICV in Barcelona Ricard Gomá. In the list it is worth pointing names from Catalan culture such as the singer-songwriter and now author Luis Llach, the also prestigious novelists Jaume Cabré (author of “Les veus del Pam Pamano” or “Jo Confesso”, among other titles), singer-songwriter from Valencia Feliu Ventura and the veteran and renowned actress Montserrat Carrulla. It was signed by the not so veteran actor Sergi Lopez and the author Julia de Jódar. In the same way we find the among the adhesions representatives of the academic world such as Antoni Batista, Salvador Cardús, Jordi Muñoz and Joan Sobirats. From the activist world came firms such as that of Arcadi Oliveras and Gabriela Serra, present in yesterday’s act. Finally, journalists also signed such as the director of Vilaweb, Vicent Partal.

NERRS Grant Funds Research into Roles Salt Marshes Play in Sequestering Greenhouse Gases, Will Link Salt Marsh Restoration to Carbon Markets
(WASHINGTON)-The Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR) has been awarded a $1.3 million grant by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative to examine the role that salt marshes play in climate change and the effect that nitrogen pollution has on that role. The three-year project will quantify how much carbon in the form of greenhouse gases (GHG) is stored and emitted from coastal wetlands, and how increases in nitrogen and changes in climate and sea level affect their ability to store that carbon.
Heading the study will be Dr. Kevin Kroeger of USGS, Dr. Jianwu Tang of the MBL, and Dr. Serena Moseman-Valtierra of URI. The NERRS Science Collaborative is administered by the University of New Hampshire through a cooperative agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The research will also be supported by USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program.
Restore America's Estuaries (RAE), a national alliance of 11 regional, coastal conservation organizations, was heavily involved in development of the proposal, and will play an essential role in "translating" the science into products that will be used by the coastal management community.
Among RAE's goals is the creation of a national greenhouse gas offset protocol for coastal tidal wetlands. Such a protocol would help bring coastal wetlands into international carbon markets, providing new opportunities and incentives for private and public investment in the restoration and preservation of vital tidal wetlands.
Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane are potent greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
While it is well known that forest ecosystems store large amounts of GHG carbon-a process popularly known as "Green Carbon"-and help reduce global warming, new research is focusing on so-called "Blue Carbon" in coastal wetland ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Recent findings suggest that coastal wetlands may sequester and store carbon at rates 3-5 times greater than temperate forests, making them efficient-and essential-carbon "sinks," as world temperatures rise.
But data indicate that when nitrogen from sources such as septic systems, stormwater discharges, fertilizer runoff, and airborne pollution is added to coastal marshes, their ability to store carbon may be substantially reduced. In extreme cases, coastal wetlands may even become net "sources" of GHG and thus contribute to climate change.
"This long-term study offers researchers a real-world 'laboratory' to test if excess nitrogen produces the same type and volume of GHG emissions that we have observed in shorter-term experiments," says Moseman-Valtierra. If data from the three-year study bears this out, it would strengthen incentives for reducing the amount of nitrogen pollution flowing into coastal ecosystems.
A large focus of the NERRS Science Collaborative is to link scientists with "end-users," who will apply the science to better manage the coast.
"The idea is to foster research that has direct, relevant, and significant applications for communities locally and across the nation," said Alison Leschen, WBNERR Reserve Manager, and Project Manager for the grant.
To further this goal, the collaborative project requires that end-users-coastal habitat restoration practitioners-be involved in project development, and that the research is a high priority for at least one of the 28 NOAA NERRs located around the U.S. coast.
"We know that coastal tidal wetlands sequester greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide at impressive rates," said Steve Emmett-Mattox, Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Programs for Restore America's Estuaries. "The GHG quantification model that will be developed under this project will help refine wetlands GHG methodologies."
As part of the collaborative project, the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Plymouth will conduct an economic analysis of the potentially deleterious effect that nitrogen has on the "value" of a salt marsh for storing GHGs. If the effect is significant, carbon markets may provide one economic incentive for towns to remove nitrogen, helping defray the costs of additional sewers, storm drains, and other expensive and infrastructure-heavy mitigation strategies.
Using study data, a user-friendly model will be developed by a modeler from Florida International University that will enable towns to evaluate this potential. Such a model could also be used by land trusts and others to provide another way to "measure" land restored or preserved besides number of acres. As an example, The Nature Conservancy or Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration, which both supported the grant proposal, could state that a land purchase or restoration project contributed "X" tons of GHG storage.
WBNERR is particularly interested in the project because it addresses two of the most significant issues facing coastal communities today -climate change and nitrogen pollution.
"We are very excited to be part of this incredibly talented team doing cutting-edge research that has local, national, and even global applications," said Leschen.
Most of the field work will take place at the Reserve's salt marsh at South Cape Beach in Mashpee, which is being set up with infrastructure to measure sea level rise and its effect on this important ecosystem as part of a NERRS-wide "bio-monitoring" project.
"The two projects meshed so well - our hope is that by establishing that area as an observatory for all types of research on climate change, we will create a real synergy between projects, enabling scientists to feed off each others' findings," said Leschen.
WBNERR is one of 28 NOAA National Estuarine Research Reserves around the U.S. coast, whose goal is to improve coastal stewardship through research, education, and demonstration. They translate science conducted on the Reserve and elsewhere to coastal managers, school classes, and community members to foster understanding about the importance of coastal ecosystems and how what people do on land affects the water. WBNERR is a federal/state partnership and is also part of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Founded in 1995, Restore America's Estuaries is a national alliance of 11 regional, coastal conservation organizations with more than 250,000 volunteer-members dedicated to preserving our nation's estuaries. RAE members include: the American Littoral Society, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Conservation Law Foundation, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Galveston Bay Foundation, North Carolina Coastal Federation, People for Puget Sound, Save The Bay-Narragansett Bay, Save The Bay-San Francisco, Save The Sound-a program of the Connecticut Fund for the Environment, and Tampa Bay Watch.

Marine seismic data acquisition
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2020 5:38 am
What is the difference between conventional marine seismic data acquisition and High Resolution marine seismic data acquisition?
I realized that there is a P-cable acquisition which is categorized as HR acquisition, but, in this kind of acquisition the streamer length is only up to tens of meters. Do we have any other type of survey design with streamer length of for example 2-3 kilometres and still be HR?
What is the difference in their P190 navigation files? For conventional we have source and receiver locations in P190 file, how about in HR ones?
Re: Marine seismic data acquisition
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2020 1:16 pm
High resolution tends to be first and foremost about the frequencies used. You get higher vertical resolution of course, but higher frequencies maker for smaller fresnel zones and so better horizontal resolution as well. For that to be effective you also need smaller CDP bin sizes, so you end up with a shorter group interval in the cable.
The two other things you have to take care of are (a) making sure that the source puts out those frequencies and (b) making sure that they are not suppressed by the "ghost" (caused by the energy reflecting off the sea surface) on the downward leg (source ghost) and upward leg (receiver ghost)
You can do all of that with a longer cable - and people do typically for site surveys ahead of engineering installations; that used to be all about oil rigs, but increasingly its used for offshore windfarms. Companies like Fugro have specialised in this niche (after they sold off Fugro Seismic Imaging back in 2012/13, which did the exploration work)
P-cable is for 3D work; they have to calculate the positions of the receivers and so on as they do not usually have all of the navigation gear in the water that you get on large scale surveys (acoustic pods, buoys with GPS on etc) although technology is getting better all the time. You'd usually get a P1/90 although I have come across people having to calculate them using the nominal positions and so on for gas hydrates work.
TGS were doing some clever stuff with P-Cable by having a P-cable 3D (low cost) then shooting a 2D grid with longrer offset (3-4km) high resolution so they could build a velocity cube and migrate and so on.


Scientists have for the first time shown that a novel compound effectively suppresses production of the virus in chronically infected cells, and prevents viral rebound, even when those infected cells are subjected to vigorous stimulation.The study was published in the journal Cell Reports.
"No other anti-retroviral used in the clinic today is able to completely suppress viral production in infected cells in vivo," senior author said. "When combining this drug with the standard cocktail of anti-retrovirals used to suppress infection in humanized mouse models of HIV-1 infection, our study found a drastic reduction in virus RNA present--it is really the proof-of-concept for a 'functional cure.'"
This new approach is called "Block-and-Lock"--the approach blocks reactivation of the virus in cells, even during treatment interruptions, and locks HIV into durable state of latency.
Researchers use a derivative of a natural compound called didehydro-Cortistatin A (dCA), which blocks replication in HIV-infected cells by inhibiting the viral transcriptional activator, called Tat, halting viral production, reactivation and replenishment of the latent viral reservoir.
"Combining dCA with anti-retroviral therapy accelerates HIV-1 suppression and prevents viral rebound after treatment interruption, even during strong cellular activation," senior author said. "It's important to note that our study uses the maximum tolerable dose of the drug--with virtually no side effects."
The scientists studied the combination therapy in a mouse model of HIV latency and persistence. Once the combined treatment regimen was halted, viral rebound was delayed up to 19 days, compared with just seven days in mouse models receiving only anti-retroviral treatment.
The animal models were exposed to just a single month of treatment. "That's a relatively short period of time," senior author said. "We think longer treatments will result in longer, or even permanent, rebound delays. The question is how long? We're studying that now."
Because any viral rebound of HIV comes with a host of adverse effects, blocking that rebound would automatically reduce those effects.

Deemed Racist, 'Red Raider' Is Gone; Barnstable Ponders New Mascot Ideas
The Barnstable School Committee on Wednesday decided to move forward with replacing both the name and image of the high school mascot, the Red Raider.
The committee originally voted in August to replace the mascot in response to complaints that Native American mascots are racist, but member Joe Nystrom asked the committee to consider keeping the name “Red Raider” and associating it with a different image.
He said an unverified local story suggests the name may have originally honored Dennis Francis Thomas, who was killed in World War II.
“The story is that … the football team took up the name ‘Raiders’ in honor of him as a Marine Raider,” he said.
But Nystrom conceded he had no proof the story was true.
In response, other School Committee members said the name can no longer be separated from Native American symbolism, no matter its origins.
“If we keep the name ‘Red Raider,’” member Barbara Dunn said, “it’s offensive to some. We are not being an anti-racist district. We’re not welcoming all.”
A turning point in Wednesday’s meeting led Nystrom to reconsider his point of view.
Member Kathy Bent made a pointed comparison to another term that has become unacceptable over time.
“The word ‘retarded’ means delayed,” she said. “But that word cannot be used in today’s society because it’s been tied to people in a negative way.”
Nystrom called that a “fantastic analogy” and said he was reconsidering. In the end, he never made his intended motion.
The School Committee took no action, which means the search for a new Barnstable mascot — both name and image — can continue.
The school district’s Community Engagement Subcommittee is getting ready to issue a survey to intermediate and high school students asking them about three possible mascot options, according to Dunn.
The subcommittee, which she chairs, gathered suggestions from a community survey earlier this year.

POPULAR: The Premier Hotel’s prominent location and the property’s favourable planning controls are expected to be key drawcards for buyers.Strong market interest is expected in The Premier Hotel, which was listed for sale during the week.
Ben McDonald and Daniel Dragicevich from CBRE Hotels, in conjunction with Deane Moore from Moore and Moore Real Estate, will market the Broadmeadow establishment.
The hotel is being sold on behalf of Newcastle-based Castle Hotels, headed byRolly de With, who also owns Junction Hotel and SunnysideTavern.
Located within walking distance ofNewcastle racing precinct, at the nine ways intersection, The Premier Hotel occupies a 1076sqm site with dual street frontage.
Mr McDonald said the campaign was timed to capitalise on the increasing interest from Sydney-based investors in coastal markets.
“With annual revenues in excess of $3.6 million, and capital value underpinned by 17 poker machine entitlements, strong market interest is anticipated from local operators and Sydney-based publicans seeking a foot hold in the Newcastle market or to build on an existing portfolio of pubs or commercial property investments,” Mr McDonald said.
Moore and Moore Principal Deane Moore identified the prominent location and the property’s favourable planning controls as key buyer drawcards.
“The Premier’s flexible mixed use zoning, 11-metre height limit and favourable floor space ratio provides investors with immediate development upside and the opportunity to create a feature property with approximately 2200sqm of gross floor area over four levels subject to the relevant planning approvals,” Mr Moore said.
“The neighbouring suburbs of Broadmeadow and Adamstown are set to expand significantly over the short term with seven mixed use residential projects set to launch in 2018/19. The Premier Hotel will be a significant benefactor of this growth.”

More than 18,000 people died in the massive earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that struck Japan's northeastern coast on March 11, 2011.
Japan is marking the 10th anniversary Thursday of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that hit the northeastern region, where many survivors' lives are still on hold.
People, some carrying bouquets, walked to the coast or graves to pray for relatives and friends washed away by the tsunami. Emperor Naruhito and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga are scheduled to observe a moment of silence at a memorial service later Thursday.
The magnitude 9.0 quake that struck on March 11, 2011, was one of the biggest temblors on record and set off a massive tsunami that swept far inland, destroying towns and causing meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. More than 18,000 people died, mostly in the tsunami, and nearly half a million people were displaced.
40,000 still displaced
Ten years later, more than 40,000 people are still unable to return home, most of them from Fukushima, where areas near the wrecked plant are still off-limits due to radioactive contamination.
Roads, train lines, and other key infrastructure and housing have mostly been completed at the cost of more than 30 trillion yen (€235 billion), but land remains empty in coastal towns further north in Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, where existing population losses were accelerated by the disaster.
In Otsuchi town in the Iwate prefecture, where the tsunami destroyed its town hall, killing about 40 employees, their families in dark suits gathered at an empty land where the town hall used to stand. In Ishinomaki, Miyagi prefecture, dozens of residents prayed at a cenotaph carrying the names of more than 3,000 victims in town.
Nobody died from direct impact of radiation, but Fukushima has fallen behind in the recovery efforts because of the radiation impact, with 2.4% of the prefectural land still no-go zones near the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The decommissioning of its melted reactors is an unprecedented challenge, with some questioning after 10 years of work whether it can be done at all.
Thursday’s ceremony will be the last national commemoration for the 2011 disaster organized by the government. It comes just two weeks before the Olympic torch run begins from Fukushima ahead of the delayed Tokyo Summer Games in July.
Suga has said the Olympics will showcase Japan's recovery from the disaster and will be proof of human victory against the coronavirus pandemic, but some disaster survivors say their recovery is still only half done.
Rest of the country also marked the day to raise awareness for disaster prevention. In Kyoto, western Japan, authorities conducted emergency drills.


Adams closing in on targets
Tony Adams is close to adding to his squad, but a deal for Christian Poulsen is 'way down the line'.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 21/01/09 5:14pm
Portsmouth manager Tony Adams has revealed he is close to adding to his squad, but a deal for Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen is 'way down the line'.
On Tuesday, Adams landed Jermaine Pennant from Liverpool on loan, and he is keen to further bolster his side following the big-money departures of Lassana Diarra and Jermaine Defoe.
Pompey have been linked with numerous targets, and Adams is confident of bringing in new faces before the end of the week.
"I don't like speaking about other players but I will just say that it [the Poulsen deal] is way down the line," he said. "We could have a few new recruits before the weekend, though.
"There are areas of concern - that is obvious from the amount of centre-backs we are playing in midfield at the moment. That's an area that needs reinforcing.
"There are a lot of players out there I would love to have, too. The practicality, the finance and the availability I'm not so sure about.
"I'm not panicking, though. A lot of work has been done and there are players on the list.
"I've looked at over 100 players since December. I've got the ones I want. My work is done really.
"Now it's down to whether we can get the right deal for these guys."

The world of Albion Online requires food in order to operate. Guild territories, buildings, and even players themselves need food. Territories and buildings require food for upkeep. Players can use food for non-combat health regeneration. Some food will drop from mobs, but a majority of it will be obtained through farming.
Farms can be built on dark brown plots located on player islands (that have been upgraded), guild islands, and farming territories. A NPC seed vendor will be located nearby these plots and stocked with seeds and baby animals for purchase. First a player must build a farm for crop production or a pasture for raising livestock. Kennels are also available and are required to raise exotic mounts such as dire-wolves and dire-bears for advanced players.
Crops can be placed on a farm and herbs can be placed in an herb garden, they will mature after their 22 hours grow time. They will then become harvest-able, and will stay this way until harvested and will not wilt/die. When you harvest a crop you will acquire the 3 to 6 crops(This will be doubled for premium) and you will have a chance to get 1 to 2 seeds back based on the seed yield %.
Watering Seeds will give you a bonus to your seed yield but will not affect the crop yield. You may water the crop up until the 22 hour mark when it matures and then it can only be harvested. Harvesting Crops will increase progress on talents give you focus efficiency points to watering all crops and a bonus to the specific crop you are harvesting. Harvesting Herbs will do the same for herbs watering costs.
All food crops have a Nutrition Value of 48.
|Tier||Name||Seed Yield %(watered)||Merchant Cost (50% off)|
Beware: All data below is currently old and thus invalid.
Livestock can be placed on a pasture and will mature after their grow time expires. Once the livestock matures you will have a chance at acquiring a new baby animal based on the baby yield %.
Some animals may stay on the pasture and continue feeding, if allowed to progress through their grow time again, they will produce their secondary resource. Harvesting this resource does not advance your Destiny board.
A baby that matures, or picking the animal up will reset their growth bar and the food will be lost.
Nutrition to Time Edit
Livestock grow timers will only advance while the livestock has food. After you place livestock you may add food to the tile. The amount of food 'time' that is added is based on the nutrition level of the food you add. Any food that is added to the tile that exceeds the growth timer is useless and will be wasted.
Each single nutrition add 3 minutes. For example a baby chicken has a 22 hour(1320 minutes) grow time. you will need to add ~10 carrots to that tile for them to complete their grow time. ((48 nutrition * 3) * 10 carrots = 1440 minutes)

Telehandlers are prized for their versatility and wide range of applications, but contractors can still look to get more out of their machines as OEMs launch new rotating telehandlers. Article courtesy of https://www.plantandequipment.com
When it comes to moving material and working at height, telehandlers are uniquely versatile and hence found on almost every construction site, from a single villa plot up to a mega project. With multiple attachments and sophisticated onboard electronics and controls, telehandlers can play many roles.
JCB launched its first loadall in 1977, the JCB 520, and since then has sold more than 270,000 telehandlers. It currently offers at least 15 telehandler variants, from the 516-40, the world’s smallest telehander, to the new 5.5-21, a rotating telehandler with a maximum reach of 20.5m and lifting capacity of 5,500kg.
“Our market share of over 50% in 2019 across the MENA region is testament to our leadership in the telehandler segment. One of the key factors which has enabled us to achieve market leadership both regionally and globally is our long-standing history and constant innovation in our products over the years,” says Manaaz Sheriff, JCB District Manager, Middle East.
Top-selling machines in the region include the 531-70, 535- 125, 540-170 and 540-200.
“The largest-selling among these is undoubtedly the 540-170, followed by the 535-125. In fact, the 540-170 is our largest selling telehandler globally,” says Sheriff. “The key reason for the popularity of the 540-170 and 535-125 is the versatility of these machines to do most of the material handling jobs in a construction site.”
“In addition to this, we offer a wide range of attachments like sweeper collectors, man platforms, earth drills, jibs and much more. The durability, ease of use, operator comfort and the resale value of this product are of course other added values our products offer.”
The 540-170 is powered by a JCB DIESELMAX engine and the powertrain is designed and manufactured in-house. Boom extensions are managed hydraulically, which results in increased productivity and lower maintenance costs, says Sheriff, while the machines are built with a one-piece chassis side plate which provides excellent strength and torsional stiffness.
“Booms are U-shaped and made of a single closing plate, reducing joints and stress points, adding to the structural integrity of the machine. Our patented Adaptive Load Control system generates progressive control complying to EN15000, and our narrow chassis design offers increased visibility for high productivity and increased safety.”
As with any material handling machinery, safety is paramount. An important factor to ensure safe operation of a telehandler is for the operator to level the machine based on the underfoot conditions on-site, with the help of stabilisers and onboard aids.
Apart from various material handling applications on construction sites, JCB telehandlers are also widely used in facility maintenance work with the use of man platform attachments, Sheriff says. They are also used in dairy farms across the region to handle fodder, and in oil & gas pipe-laying applications, equipped with forks, jibs and special purpose buckets. The sweeper collector attachment is also widely used by facility management companies and municipalities.
New roto range
Bobcat’s top-selling telehandler is the 18m T40.180SLP. Bobcat has been number two in this segment in the GCC for several years, and number one in some countries in the region, says Gaby Rhayem, Regional Director Middle East and Africa for Doosan Bobcat. Telehandlers in the GCC are primarily used for handling and lifting jobs in construction.
Remote control can allow the operator to carry out precise movements and positioning of loads
“Customers really appreciate the unbeatable stability of the T40.180SLP, which can lift 4 tonnes up to 14m when on stabilisers, or can lift a heavy load up at 17m when on tyres, allowing great mobility,” Rhayem notes. “We also have a unique and patented feature, the Boom Positioning System, which allows the operator to move the load right and left at height without moving the machine, even on stabilisers.”
The man platform is the most used attachment in the GCC after traditional forks and buckets. “We are having great success, as our system is quite competitive and the remote control can also be used to move the boom to a location where the operator has better visibility,” says Rhayem. “On top of that, if you combine the rotation and extension of the platform with our Boom Positioning System, this is a perfect combo for precise placement of workers at height and more mobility without having to move the machine.”
Late last year, Bobcat launched a new range of rotating telehandlers, including the five-tonne, 21m TR50.210, which Rhayem believes will be a good fit for the region, along with the larger 25m machine. Rotating telehandlers are not widely used in the region, with many contractors using mobile cranes instead. “At the moment, there is a price advantage and it is easy to find and rent these products instead of buying.”
Nevertheless, the Roto TLS is much easier to control than a mobile crane and can carry out many other functions, such as loading with forks, using a bucket, using a man platform, taking a load on it, and using a broader range of attachments, he says. Dedicated applications and missions include fire fighters, large contractors and construction companies who build massive villa projects and other large developments.
Italian telehandler specialist
Recognisable with distinctive green paint jobs, Merlo produces a range of telehandlers – from compact models, medium duty and panoramic with stabilisers, to high-capacity panoramic telehandlers – as well as a rotary model. The company is currently overhauling its full range of machines sold in markets outside Europe, including for the Middle East.
Building around 90% of its components in-house allows Merlo to produce innovative machines to its own high specifications, says Mattia Bodino, Marketing & Communication Manager. The main focus is on safety, comfort, and productivity.
“What sets us apart is that we are a manufacturer of telehandlers – everything is designed in-house, starting from the axle, the boom, the cab, the chassis. What we buy is the engine, the hydraulic pumps, the tyres, some of the gears – all the rest is made in Merlo. That means everything is designed to be our ideal solution. That’s why, compared to the competition, our machine is more compact, with a better visibility and ease of use. Today, we have around 90 patents registered for our range of machine, and we are a driver of the telehandler sector with our innovations.”
Key features of Merlo telehandlers include excellent all-round visibility; hydrostatic transmission, which means the machine is easy to use; and the boom is responsive to controls and makes very precise movements. “You can give this machine to anybody and after two minutes they can use it,” says Bodino.
The company’s top-selling machine in the GCC is the P40.17EE, with 4,000kg maximum capacity, 17m maximum lifting height and front stabilisers, one of four machines in the new Panoramic range. Main features of the new range include a new high-comfort cab, new axles, completely revamped stabilisers and chassis, and the Attachment Recognition System, a technology that increases safety standards without affecting performance.
Key attachments include forks for moving material, buckets for excavation, platforms, hooks and occasionally a fly jib for extra reach, making the P40.17EE a great general purpose machine on a job-site, says Bodino. The onboard Attachment Recognition System prevents overloading, to improve site safety and reduce potential damage to the machine.
Telehandlers are prized for their flexibility on-site, whether moving material or putting workers in place with a platform.
Merlo has also sold some rotary telehandlers in the Middle East, and Bodino believes it’s a growth segment. “It’s an interesting machine with very high efficiency, though it can be difficult to introduce this to new customers, as they are typically looking for very simple machines and not everyone can see its potential.”
Due to productivity and durability, Merlo telehandlers have strong resale value, says Bodino. “We still have more room to grow in the Middle East, but the market is more and more coming to see the value of the Merlo machines.” Article By: Stian Overdahl Post Date: January 06, 2021

43% Say Filing Income Taxes Is Worse Than Going to the Dentist
What's your pain threshold? For a plurality of Americans, it apparently hurts more to do their taxes than go to the dentist.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 43% of Adults say filing their tax paperwork is worse than a trip to the dentist. Thirty-five percent (35%) disagree and say going to the dentist is worse. Nearly one-in-four (23%) are not sure which activity is more torturous. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Last April, Americans were almost evenly divided over which was worse—taxes or the dentist. But in prior years, they consistently rated filing income taxes as worse than going to the dentist.
With a month to go until Tax Day, roughly half of Americans have filed their income taxes. Taxpayers appear to be on track with the level of filing in revious years.

Present position: Senior Research Engineer BBC R&D
|Thesis title:||Innovative video coding tools for error resilience, automatic quality monitoring and transcoding|
|Research area:||Digital Signal Processing|
The thesis addresses the transmission of coded video contents by three different points of view: first, how to perform optimal transcoding in order to allow the use of different coding formats for storing and transmitting video contents. Second, how to add redundancy to a coded content in order to increase its resilience to transmission errors and finally, how to automatically estimate the video quality experienced by the final user when transmission is subjected to errors. These points are addressed by means of the following technologies: video transcoding, robust coding and automatic quality monitoring. Video transcoding consists in the conversion of the bitstream X into another one Y by means of a system called transcoder. The thesis addresses the conversion from the H.264/AVC to MPEG-2 in order to allow the distribution of video contents to terminals MPEG-2 compliant (like standard Set-Top-Boxes). The second addressed point can be seen as a special case of transcoding: in fact, the coded bitstream can be modified in order to increase its robustness against channel errors. Moreover, the thesis addresses also the special case where a protection stream is added “on-top” of the original coded content by means of tools provided by the Distributed Source Coding (DSC) theory. Automatic quality monitoring, provides techniques and methodologies to estimate the video quality of coded and transmitted bitstreams. The estimation of the video quality can be performed either at the transmitter or the receiver side. The thesis addresses the estimate of the video quality degradation induced by channel errors at the receiver side. At this side, the estimation is complicated by the fact that the original video content is not available for comparison (no-reference approach). The thesis proposes a no-reference quality monitoring algorithm that explicitly models the distortion induced by channel errors in H.264/AVC compliant bitstreams. In addition to this, we also consider the case in which some small knowledge on the original video content is available at the receiver side (reduced-reference approach).

John paused. This was not the reaction he wanted.
“Mom. I got into Princeton. With a scholarship.” John stood there, blue eyes wide and his curly blonde hair pointing in different directions. “I was the only student, from my entire school who got in.”
John’s mother, Lucy looked up from her newspaper. “And? Darling, I’m not quite sure what you want me to say to you.” Lucy straightened her glasses and went back to reading The New York Times. John slumped into the armchair opposite his mother, defeated. He thought his parents would be proud. Yet, all his mother had said was… “And?”. Lucy cleared her throat. “Oh, darling? Could you please tell Grace that we’ve run out of vol au vents for our cocktail party tonight?” Lucy smiled at John, a smile that was once real and had meaning, was now simply a gesture of fake gratitude. John stared at his mother. “Sure.” He stood up, angrily leaving the living room.
Lucy put down her newspaper, and rubbed her temples. She took her glasses off and looked outside the window, at Manhattan. However she wasn’t looking at the skyscrapers, but her own reflection. She saw a woman with pale olive skin, and a chin length bob with expensive honey blonde streaks mixing in with her own dark blonde hair. Her eyes were tired and weak, the sparkle from her sea blue eyes was gone. A tear escaped from her eye. Lucy looked away at the window, and began to sob uncontrollably. Lucy had realised that not only did she look like her mother, she had become her.
Lucy’s mother, had never once approved or congratulated Lucy on her accomplishments. Not even when she had the highest grades in her college class for Law when she went to Harvard, despite wanting to study Art. Her mother had forced her to take Law. “Oh don’t be stupid, Lucy. Being an artist is a joke. You’re going to study Law.”
Her mother had never once complimented Lucy, or noticed her hard work. All her mother ever said was that one word, that could hurt so much in such a short space of time.

Life, Liberty, and Freedom
The founding fathers of the United States had a wonderful vision for our country, and we need to make sure we follow it in order to remain successful as a whole. Three ways to analyze this vision are to look at the vision itself, whether or not we have fulfilled that vision, and what we can keep or change to completely fulfill it. Three main aspects that apply to each of these questions are life, liberty, and freedom. So what exactly was the vision for America? There are many features to this vision, but the main three that apply to life, liberty, and freedom are the farewell address of George Washington, the constitution, and our freedoms. The farewell address was given by George Washington near the end of his presidency, and contributes greatly to the vision of America by telling us how we should live.
The first big part of this speech is the importance of isolationism. He states that we should be careful with our international relations, and that we should avoid depending on other countries when possible. This was and is very important in order to avoid both war and debt. The second part of the speech that contributes to the vision is the pillars of happiness; religion and morals. He knew that both of these things make the greatness and wisdom of men, and therefore our country.
Both of these things should be very relevant to every citizen of the country. Happiness should be in all of our lives, and these two things bring that happiness to us. The third most important point is to avoid political parties. He said that the placement of parties would divide the country and cause too many arguments and riots. In order to stay united and peaceful, there shouldn’t be any specific “othering” or contradictions going on within the country. This only causes disagreements that can turn ugly and break our country apart.
The constitution and its creation were very relevant to the U.S. citizens at the time of its authoring; therefore it greatly contributed to the vision of this country by expressing the liberties we each have. One way the constitution ties in with the vision is the main reason it was written, which is to keep America orderly. A large part of the American vision is order, from the federal government down to everyday life. In order for America to remain successful it needs to be kept in order and under control.
Another way is the meaning of much of the constitution; the importance of education and knowledge. Almost everything written in the constitution has the underlying relevance of education. According to this quote by James Madison, the very government would fall apart without knowledge; “A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance..
..” The third connection of the constitution with the vision is shown through the views of James Madison. Often called the “Father of the constitution”, James Madison not only produced the ideas for our government, but drafted the constitution, and most of the ideas in the document are his, if not inspired by his thoughts. His views for the country were clear, and he wanted to us to have as many liberties as possible.
Much of the vision is contributed to him and his ideas for the country. Our freedoms and the founding fathers’ desire for freedom definitely contributed to the vision of America in providing a reason to create our country in the first place. The first way our freedoms contributed to the vision was the search for independence and proving to other countries that we were worth something. This put pride in our heart, and made us want our freedoms even more. The founding fathers knew that our freedoms were what made the country thrive, and also what made us proud of our country, and they knew this should go on in order for the country to remain independent and powerful. The second way was our rights.
Our rights, and stating them in the bill of rights, showed the people that they had freedoms, and that they should keep fighting for America and work hard to keep it successful. The third contribution having to do with freedoms was the idea of having an easy going life and happiness. When we have all our freedoms and recognize what they are, our life is easy going, and we find happiness. The founding fathers recognized this, and they knew that American citizens should all have that lifestyle. Our freedoms would allow us to live that life. The vision of America was many things, but the main things that contributed to it were the farewell address, the constitution, and our freedoms.
Each of these ideas are based off of life, liberty, and freedoms, and are the key to success in our nation. Have we, as a nation, fulfilled this vision? In most aspects of the vision of America, we have not fulfilled it, and, in most cases, we are contradicting it. In the aspects of life, which is shown through the farewell address, liberty, which is shown through the constitution, and freedom, we are not doing what the founding fathers wanted for our country. The way we live today does not follow what George Washington stated in the Farewell address at all. An important part of this address was isolationism.
Today, we are not showing this attribute. We have many specific allies and enemies, and there are few countries we don’t frequently interact with. An important factor of isolationism is avoiding international relations in order to stay out of debt. Because we are so involved in the world and with other countries, we are seventeen trillion dollars in debt, and our country has had many problems because of that. Another important section of the address was the pillars of happiness; religion and morals.
As far as religion goes, in public places such as school, it is often viewed as offensive and rude to state your beliefs. Our society is doing the opposite of what Washington suggested, and pushing the idea of religion away in most settings. Also, if there’s one thing America generally does not have, it’s good morals. There is a lot of crime, corruption, and dishonest media in our country today and nobody cares. There are many wrong things that are openly accepted in our society, and it’s only leading us away from happiness. The third important pillar of the farewell address is avoiding political parties.
Today, these parties are the most relevant and widespread part of our government. Almost every American is a part of one of these parties. The election is never just about two men running, it’s about a republican and a democrat running, and this puts everyone in the wrong state of mind. In these aspects we are not following Washington’s advice that he gave in his farewell address. The constitution states many specific liberties we have, and we are not following or recognizing any of them. The main purpose of the constitution was order.
The federal government might be orderly, but the whole of America is not. Very few people’s lives are in order, and it’s causing them to be uncontrollable. Crime rates are going up and up, and without more order in people’s lives, they will continue to grow. Another big part of the constitution and the vision is the importance of knowledge and education. One major issue with our country today is the amount of uneducated people we have.
Each day, on average, there are 8,300 high school dropouts, and over 3 million annually. These statistics just show further how few people in our country care about education. We are not, as a country, caring at all about our knowledge or education, and that contradicts this part of the vision. A large part of the constitution’s authoring was James Madison’s views for our country. The quote from him, stated earlier in the essay, about knowledge, proves how important knowledge is to the stability of a country.
Most people today believe the most important part of our country is just whichever party is controlling the government. These views have nothing to do with knowledge, which is what the founding fathers viewed as important. Our freedoms are an important factor of the vision, and they are abused in many ways today. One part of our freedoms is independence. Though our country has its independence, and has proven our worth before to other countries, we are not showing that proof now.
With both the debt that we are in, and the number of wars we’ve been involved in, we are not proving to the other countries of the world what we are worth. We proved with the revolutionary war that we could do something, and the founding fathers saw that that put pride in our hearts. That pride, though, has slipped with the proof of the worth of our country. Another large part of our freedoms are our rights. Our rights are what draw most people to the U.
S., and it is also what keeps many of here. Today, however, many of our rights are starting to be taken away. Our rights are meant to keep us safe and free, and instead they are starting to restrict us. The third major part of our freedoms is that they are meant to make life easy going for us. Life in our country today is anything but easy going.
Everything about the government and the country are too complicated, and it is taking away our happiness. Our freedoms are being restricted in our country, and that is the opposite of what the vision and the founding fathers wanted. Today, in our country, we are not following what the founding fathers had envisioned for America at all. We do not have the life, the liberties, or the freedoms intended in the vision for the United States, and many instances show this. What can we change to fulfill the vision? Our country has not fulfilled the vision for America, but there are many things we can change about or life, liberty, and freedom in order to make sure we are back on track again. In order to fulfill the vision in the aspect of life, we must follow the three vital sections of the farewell address.
The first, isolationism, is important because without it, you struggle with both debt and a lot of war. Right now, this is one thing our country is going through, and if we stay isolated and eliminate our debt by avoiding war, we will be able to prosper financially as a nation. As we avoid and pay off our debts, we will become more isolated and fulfill this specific part of the vision. The second is the pillars of happiness. We are pushing away religion, and our morals are dropping immensely. We need to be more accepting and open to share ideas of religion, and we need to set a moral standard to live up to.
If we put on TV just one public service announcement about maintaining good morals, we could get more people to understand, to recognize their bad ones, and change them. The third is to avoid political parties. Political parties are very popular, and the base of most people’s political views. When we start cutting down on the emphasis of parties and really make elections more of a “man against man” kind of battle instead of a “party against party”, we will be able to eventually make parties not a big deal, and start to follow this advice and part of the vision. In order to fulfill the vision in the aspect of liberty, we have to follow the three important features of the vision that originate from the constitution.
First, to keep America orderly. Though in this issue it is the more individualized part that we struggle with, we can still think about what the founding fathers intended for the order of the government, and apply it to our lives. We must each have order in our own lives, and be in control, and then the crime rates would go down as we fulfill this part of the vision. Second, the importance of knowledge and education. Most Americans no longer care about education, and this is a problem. If we can encourage education frequently, and do certain things to discourage and decrease high school drop outs, then more people in the U.
S. would have an education, and we would have a better understanding of the vision itself. Finally, the views of James Madison and what they mean. Once, when speaking about the constitution, he said, “Every word decides a question between power and liberty.” In order to follow the views of Madison, we must make sure that we are both being governed and living by liberty, and not power.
Once we do this, then we can fulfill the vision in the aspect of liberty. In order to fulfill the vision in the aspect of freedom, we must understand and protect the three main parts of our freedoms. First, independence and proving our worth to others. We have to make sure we stand for our independence and freedoms, and also that we make a difference to prove our country’s worth. We have to avoid war and show other countries that we stand for peace, and regain our worth to others. Next, our rights; knowing and using them.
In order to keep our rights, we have to keep them close and make sure the whole public knows each and every one of them. If we constantly stand for and mention our rights, no one will ever try to take them away, and we will have fulfilled that part of the vision. Lastly, the goal of happiness and an easy going life. Our lives as a whole are too complicated, and the government isn’t helping. In order for our life to be happy, we must be easy going and have the things going on around us, especially those federal, not to be complicated. If we can un-complicate things in our lives, our freedoms will be more accessible and we will be able to fulfill a huge part of the vision of America.
In conclusion, the vision for America consists of many things, but a lot of it is generated from the farewell address, the constitution and its authoring, and our freedoms. Many great men contributed to this vision, and wanted us to have life, liberty, and freedom. America today doesn’t follow this vision well, and hasn’t fulfilled it much at all. In fact, there are many ways in which our country contradicts that vision. However, there are still many things we can do to get back on track and fulfill the founding fathers’ vision for the United States in the aspects of our life, liberty, and freedom.

The drug Herceptin cuts the risk of tumours returning in women with early stage breast cancer by 50%, a US study has shown.
The drug is already used for advanced cancer
A second study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed Herceptin can also reduce cancer recurrence when combined with a chemotherapy drug.
A leading cancer expert called the studies' findings "stunning".
But they will increase pressure on regulators to make Herceptin available for early as well as advanced cancers.
Herceptin, which also has the generic name traztuzumab, targets a protein called HER2, which appears to be over-abundant in some women's breast cancers.
An estimated fifth of breast cancer cases - around 10,000 women in the UK - are HER2 positive.
Roche, which makes Herceptin, has to submit an application to European regulators before the drug can be licensed for use in early-stage disease.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence then has to give its approval for the drug to be prescribed on the NHS.
The government has said this process should be fast-tracked. But it is likely to be next spring before Herceptin goes through all these regulatory hoops.
Until then, it will be up to primary care trusts (PCTs) to decide if they will fund the treatment for women, which can cost £30,000 a year.
On Tuesday, PCTs in Devon and Cornwall announced they would fund the treatment, and last month Barbara Clark won her battle to persuade Somerset PCT to pay for her to have the drug.
The first study, by the Breast Cancer Group of international researchers and sponsored by Roche, looked at the effect of giving Herceptin to breast cancer patients who had already had surgery and a course of chemotherapy.
Almost 1,700 women received one year's treatment with Herceptin and a group of equal size were simply observed.
After 12 months, 13% (220) of the group under observation had seen a recurrence of their cancer, 34 of whom had died.
In the group taking Herceptin, just 127 women (7.5%) had seen a recurrence of their cancer, with 23 cancer-related deaths.
Women on a two-year course of Herceptin are currently being followed up by the same researchers. Results so far are also promising.
Professor Ian Smith, head of the Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research, who worked on the study, told the BBC News website: "This is one of the most important developments in breast cancer treatment.
"It is only a minority of women who will benefit from it, but for that minority it makes an enormous difference."
He said women should be given the drug before it has passed through the regulatory process.
"Normally, it's reasonable to wait until the drug is licensed.
"But these results are so unprecedented that it requires an unprecedented response, which is to make it accessible before it is licensed."
The second study combined results from two US trials covering 3,350 women given Herceptin either in combination with the drug paclitaxel (Taxol) or alone. Other women were given Taxol alone.
Taking both drugs together reduced the risk a woman's cancer would return by half, and the risk of death by a third.
Dr John Toy, medical director at Cancer Research UK, said: "These are stunning results for women who have got this particular sort of breast cancer.
"Each of the trials shows undoubted benefits."
He added: "These papers are in a top medical journal and the data is robust."
But Dr Toy said it would be important to see longer-term results from the studies, as cancers often recurred in HER2 positive women 18 months to two years after their initial diagnosis.
Dr Toy said he hoped there would be no unnecessary delay in the regulatory process for the drug to be approved for use in women with early-stage breast cancer.
He said that, until that time, PCTs would be faced with a decision over whether to give a drug for an unlicensed use to women who would be asking for it.
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said the studies showed one of the "biggest breakthroughs in breast cancer treatment."
Clara MacKay, of Breast Cancer Care, added: "Given this evidence, combined with mounting pressure from breast cancer patients and their families, the government must help ensure all can get equal access to Herceptin."
A Department of Health spokesperson said no decision on using Herceptin in the NHS could be made until the makers applied for a license to extend its use.
She added: "We must be sure that medicines are robustly tested and proved effective before they are made available to patients.
"If and when it is licensed for early use, NHS bodies can prescribe Herceptin, but this must be a local decision."
But Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: "It remains to be seen how PCTs will pay for the treatment.
"The NHS is already crippled by worsening debts, which entrench the postcode lottery."

The march began as a grassroots movement, originally dreamt up by Hawaiian native and grandmother Teresa Shook as a means for women to share outrage over Donald Trump's election. We will stand together for the rights of all women, everywhere. Theologically conservative Christian women will likely sit the Women's March out, opting instead to rally behind next Friday's March for Life, the largest annual pro-life rally in the world. Organizers have raised $1.6 million of their $2 million goal to defray expenses.
"I don't know if I'm surprised, I'm more amazed that many people want to spend two nights on a bus to go march in D.C", she said of the overwhelming interest.
"Sister marches" in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and 32 other countries have popped up, including one in Denver. Then, a whole docket of celebrity speakers who have been vocal supporters of abortion rights. Furthermore, Bland stated, "one of the challenges facing women in this incoming administration is access to reproductive care". I fear we'll live in a world with no equal pay, that parental leave will be more hard than ever, and that there will be fewer women in the executive workforce. Yet women who want to save children from the slaughter of abortion are shut out.
"The anti-choice organization in question is not a partner of the Women's March on Washington". To monitor the march on social media, organizers of the event are asking people to use the hashtag, #WhyIMarch. "That I do have a voice, and I can come here, and I can support this stronger voice that no, that's not okay", she said. (The other honorary co-chairs are feminist organizer Gloria Steinem, political activist Angela Davis, labor leader Doris Huerta, and Native American advocate LaDonna Harris.) Perez was a bilingual probation officer in the Santa Cruz County Probation Department, and has advocated on several fronts for incarcerated youth and criminal justice reform.
Each March is taking the inspiration from and foundation of the original Women's March on Washington and expanding it to make their own statements, make their own needs heard.
The New York State Catholic Conference opposes the bill. People are becoming politicized, which is exactly what we need if we are going to protect our democracy from the corporate Trump agenda.
The overwhelming majority of House Democrats say President-elect Donald TrumpDonald TrumpHouse Dems to Trump: American women "are watching" Spicer defends level of diversity in Trump's Cabinet Trump inaugural address to be a philosophical document' for America MORE should reconsider his opinions on women's healthcare. No, she is too precious to me.
Before rescinding New Wave Feminists' partnership, Bland told The Atlantic that women of all beliefs and backgrounds were welcome, particularly "voices that have previously been either marginalized or silenced".
More than 600 sister marches are scheduled to take place across the world Saturday - including in Oxford, Jackson, Hattiesburg, Gulfport and Memphis - for those who couldn't make it to Washington. If our hopes weren't already real within us, we couldn't even hope them. "Fundamentally, nearly no one coming from the Dominican Republic to the United States is coming here because they have a provable skill that would benefit us and that would indicate their likely success in our society", he said.

Staten Island Veterinary dental services include teeth cleaning and polishing, tooth extractions, and oral surgery.
Dental care is one of the most neglected pet health needs. Puppies and kittens can become accustomed to proper dental care by periodic brushing with a pet toothpaste. Peridontal disease is very common in older dogs and causes bad breath, and often serious infections. A dental exam can determine whether your pet needs preventive dental care such as scaling, polishing, and antibiotics.
QUICK BITES ON PET DENTAL CARE
Puppies develop 28 temporary teeth at two to three weeks of age. Their 42 permanent teeth emerge at about four months.
Studies show that by age 3, 80 percent of dogs exhibit signs of gum disease.
Small dog breeds are more likely than large breeds to develop periodontal disease. Canine dentistry experts believe this is because the teeth of small dogs often are too large for their mouths, forcing the teeth closer together.
Kittens have about 26 temporary teeth at two to three weeks of age. Their 30 permanent teeth erupt at about three to four months.
According to studies, about 70 percent of cats have signs of gum disease by age 3.
Cervical line lesions are the most common tooth disease in domestic cats. Studies show that about 28 percent of domestic cats develop at least one of these painful lesions during their lifetime.

Introduction: Regular watering and application of nitrogenous fertilizers in turf-grasses is a conventional operation, especially in warm and dry or semi-dry climates, which arecommon in many parts of Iran. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient in soil or substrates, especially in the form of nitrate. Nitrate leaching due to the regular watering has been reported in many sources. The managing nitrogen application can help to minimize the loss of this element regarding the ability of soil-plant system. Attempts have been made to control the growth of turf-grass using various types of chemicals, but similar to the concerns associated with the consumption of nitrogenous fertilizers, this is also concerned with environmental pollutions. Therefore, the growth of turf grasses can be controlled without using chemicals and by limiting the use of nitrogen and managing the irrigation.The purposes of this study were to limit the application of nitrogen in order to control vegetative growth of the turf grass and maintain its visual quality, and to manage irrigation in order to preserve this mobile element (nitrogen) near the root system and prevent its leaching.
Materials and Methods:The effects of reduced water and nitrogen supply on the control of vegetative growth of turf grasses, commonly named as sport turf,were evaluated.Therefore, an experiment was designed in a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Mixed seeds of sport turf grass were planted with the density of 40 g m-2in boxes, which placed atthe depth of30 cm and leveled with sandy loam soil in mid-spring. Nitrogen was applied as ammonium nitrate via fertigation in five levels of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg m-2 month-1, andirrigation treatments performed at four levels of 100%, 80%, 60 % and 40% of field capacity. Watering was done every two days for 5 months during the warm season of the year after the first mowing on June 2013. Some traits such as plant height, fresh and dry weight, density, color and quality, and chlorophyll and proline contents were evaluated during growth period or at the end of the experiment.The data were subjected toananalysis of variance (SAS, 1996),and differences among the treatments were compared using Duncan’s multiple range test at 95% probability level.
Results and Discussion: The results showed that decreasein nitrogen level up to 0.5 gdid not significantly change density index,,whilethe index showed a significant reduction in treatment containing zero nitrogen application and the lowest irrigation regime (40% of the field capacity).Quality and color of the turf grass had no significant correlation with nitrogen treatment, while the factor was significantly decreased when irrigation regime of 40% of the field capacity was applied. It was determined that although color of the turf grass was greener with lower levels of water,a good color was found with high level of non-organic fertilizer at the time that the amount of nitrogen leaching was also limited. Therefore, regardless of the different nitrogen levels applied, quality and color indiceswerethe lowest when irrigation at 40% of field capacity was applied. Limiting the level of nitrogen up to 0.5 gramand irrigation up to 60% of field capacity was desirable to control and reduce the height of turf grass. Reduction in water level up to 80% of field capacity caused no significant changes in fresh weight, but a significant decreasewas resulted with the reduction of water consumption up to 60% of field capacity. The maximum fresh weight was found with 1.5 grams nitrogen. However, reducing nitrogen level upto 0.5 gramdid not bring about significant changes in this trait. Dry weight also followed the same pattern as fresh weight. Although reduction in the level of applied nitrogen did not reduce the height, it caused a significant reduction in fresh and dry weight of the turf grass. The highest chlorophyll content was found when 2 grams of nitrogen and irrigation regime of 40% of field capacity were used. Regardless of the nitrogen level, the highest chlorophyll content was found in irrigation of 40% of field capacity,while the lowest amount was observed in the treatment containing irrigation at100 and 80% of field capacity. Plants were dark green in 40% of field capacity. Proline content showedincreasealong with the decrease inirrigation as well as nitrogen levels.
Conclusion:Plant height, fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll and proline contents were significantly affected by limiting the use of nitrogen and water, but density and quality indices were not significantly influenced. Regardless of the nitrogen levels applied, quality and color traits were the lowest only in irrigation regime of 40% of field capacity. Therefore, it was concluded that reduction of nitrogen supply to 1 mg m-2 month-1and irrigation regime up to 60% of field capacity could result in thereduction ofvegetative growth of turf grass, while quality traits were not affected negatively.
