QTL mapping and marker development for tolerance to sulfur phytotoxicity in melon (Cucumis Melo)
Supplemental files Supplementary table S1 Sequence information for the KASP markers, including: SNP ID, physical position of the SNP, primer sequences, SNP flanking sequence, and nucleotides of the sulfur tolerant (T) and sensitive (S) alleles. Supplementary table S2 Phenotypic data used for QTL mapping: RIL means of percentage of damaged (chlorotic or necrotic) area after vaporized elemental sulfur treatment of cotyledons (cot) or leaves (leaf) in test 1 (_t1), in test 2 (_t2), and across tests (cot or leaf). Supplementary table S3 Melon accession genotypes at KASP markers developed across qSulf-1. Markers are named according to physical position (bp) on chromosome 1. Genotypes are color coded, with individuals homozygous for the sulfur tolerance allele (B) in blue, sensitivity allele (A) in yellow, heterozygous (H) in gray and missing (NA) in white. The significance and magnitude of correlation between sulfur response and genotype are listed for each marker Supplementary table S4 Chromosomal location and functional information for genes that collocated with the major QTL for sulfur tolerance, including the position of the start and stop codons within the chromosome (cs), gene ontology (GO) code and term, and conserved domains and features found within the gene (NCBI). Supplementary table S5 Functional annotation of candidate gene polymorphisms between the parents in the QTL interval of qSulf-1, including the chromosome, physical position (in bp), parental alleles, polymorphism location relative to the gene (ie. upstream, exonic, downstream, etc.), distance from the gene (in bp), type of exonic mutation (synonymous or nonsynonymous), and detail (which exon and the nucleotide and amino acid changes). Supplementary figure S1 Interaction plot showing evidence for epistasis between qSulf-1 and qSulf-12. Alleles from the sulfur sensitive parent (MR-1) are ‘AA’ and from the sulfur tolerant parent (AY) are ‘BB’. The circle represents the mean percent damage of individuals in the population with the labelled genotypes. The plus signs indicate the standard error. Supplementary figure S2 Logarithm of odds (LOD) scores for forward model selection of up to seven QTL associated with mean percentage of damaged (chlorotic or necrotic) area after vaporized elemental sulfur treatment of: (a) cotyledons in test 1, (b) cotyledons in test 2, (c) leaves in test 1 and (d) leaves in test 2. The initial scan shows the likelihood of the first QTL being located at each SNP in the genome (linkage group=chromosome) with subsequent scans showing the LOD of an additional QTL with the effects of the previous QTL(s) controlled for in the model. The dashed line marks the genome-wide significance threshold. Supplementary figure S3 Interaction plot showing evidence for epistasis between qSulf-1 and qSulf-8. Alleles from the sulfur sensitive parent (MR-1) are ‘AA’ and from the sulfur tolerant parent (AY) are ‘BB’. The circle represents the mean percent damage of individuals in the population with the labelled genotypes. The plus signs indicate the standard error. sulfQ1_annovar.csv Functional annotation of all gene polymorphisms between the parents in the QTL interval of qSulf-1, including the chromosome, physical position (in bp), parental alleles, polymorphism location relative to the gene (ie. upstream, exonic, downstream, etc.), distance from the gene (in bp), type of exonic mutation (synonymous or nonsynonymous), and detail (which exon and the nucleotide and amino acid changes).,Elemental sulfur is an effective, inexpensive fungicide for many foliar pathogens, but severe phytotoxicity prohibits its use on many melon varieties. Sulfur phytotoxicity causes chlorosis and necrosis of leaf tissue, leading to plant death in the most sensitive lines, while other varieties have little to no damage. A high-density, genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-based genetic map of a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population segregating for sulfur tolerance was used for a quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping study of sulfur phytotoxicity in melon. One major (qSulf-1) and two minor (qSulf-8 and qSulf-12) QTL were associated with sulfur tolerance in the population. The development of Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers developed across qSulf-1 decreased the QTL interval from 239 kb (cotyledons) and 157 kb (leaves) to 97 kb (both tissues). The markers were validated for linkage to sulfur tolerance in a set of melon cultivars. These KASP markers can be incorporated into melon breeding programs for introgression of sulfur tolerance into elite melon germplasm.,Experimental design A previously described RIL population (Branham et al. 2018) consisting of 170 lines generated from a cross of MR-1 and Ananas Yok’neum (AY) was evaluated for elemental sulfur tolerance. The Israeli cantaloupe cultivar Ananas Yok’neum was the sulfur tolerant parent and the inbred C. melo line MR-1 (Thomas 1986) was the sensitive parent (Figure 1). Two independent greenhouse tests of the parents and population were initiated in May and June 2017. Each test was planted in a randomized complete block design with two replicates of 5 plants each. Lines were seeded into Metromix 360 (Sun Gro Horticulture, Agawam, MA) in 50-cell propagation trays (Hummert International, Earth City, MO) and allowed to grow to the 2-3 fully expanded leaf stage in a sulfur-free glass greenhouse. Temperature of the greenhouse were maintained at 30oC +/- 5oc. Seedlings were fertilized the day prior to sulfur treatment by soaking trays in a liquid fertilizer solution (3g Peters water soluble fertilizer per liter) (Scotts, Maryville, OH, USA). Trays were transferred into a temperature-controlled, 650 m3 glass greenhouse for sulfur treatment. Temperature of the greenhouse were maintained at 30oC +/- 5oc. Elemental sulfur (Soil Sulfur:>99% purity, National Garden Wholesale, Vancouver, WA, USA) was vaporized using two sulfur burners (Wilmod Sulfur Evaporator WSE75; Zoetermeer, Netherlands) for 4 hours nightly. The sulfur burners were ~2 m above the work benches, suspended 0.75 m below a circulation fan. The two burners were on adjacent ends of the greenhouse. Each sulfur burner vaporized approximately 1.2 g of sulfur per night. On the fifth day, lines were evaluated for sulfur tolerance by recording percent necrosis for both the most damaged cotyledon and true leaf on every plant (Figure 2). The percent necrosis for each RIL (cotyledon and true leaf) was averaged from evaluations of twenty plants (2 tests x 2 reps x 5 plants). F1 seeds failed to germinate in the original study, so an additional test was performed that included the parents and new seed of the F1 hybrid. Two replicates of ten seeds per line were planted in a greenhouse trial in June 2018. An additional test of thirty melon accessions (cultivars and PIs) were evaluated to test the utility of the sulfur markers in a variety of germplasm. Two replicates of five seeds each were planted in a greenhouse trial in March 2019. These additional studies followed the same protocols described above. Statistical analysis Pearson’s correlation (r) of line means between tests and between tissue types was calculated with the stats package of R version 3.4.1 (R core team 2017). Broad-sense heritability (H2) of sulfur tolerance, measured as percent affected leaf area (chlorosis and/or necrosis), was determined separately for each tissue type as the RIL variance divided by the total variance in percentage affected tissue area using variance components estimated with a linear mixed model in ASReml-R v3.0 (Gilmour et al. 2009). The model included RIL, test, interaction of RIL and test, replicate, and tray nested within test as random effects. QTL mapping We used the previously published (Branham et al. 2018) high-density genetic map developed for this population for all QTL mapping analyses, which included 5,663 imputed, binned SNPs across the 12 chromosomes (=linkage groups) of the C. melo genome (Garcia-Mas et al. 2012). Haley-Knott regression (Haley and Knott 1992) was used for multiple QTL mapping (MQM) with the stepwiseqtl function (Zeng et al. 1999; Broman and Speed 2002; Broman and Sen 2009) of Rqtl (Broman et al. 2003). The optimal QTL model based upon penalized LOD score (Manichaikul et al. 2009) was chosen through an automated forward and backward search algorithm. One thousand permutations of a two-dimensional, two QTL scan were used to calculate penalties and the genome-wide significance threshold for QTL detection. Multiple QTL models were visualized through LOD profile plots generated from forward selection using standard interval mapping with Haley-Knott regression (Haley and Knott 1992). Distributions of necrosis percentage of both cotyledons and true leaves did not meet the assumptions of parametric interval mapping, therefore the non-parametric model of the scanone function (Kruskal and Wallis 1952; Kruglyak and Lander 1995) was used for QTL verification. Genes within the 1.5-LOD interval of the major QTL were identified using the functional annotation of the C. melo reference genome v3.5.1 (Garcia-Mas et al. 2012), which was obtained through batch query at http://cucurbitgenomics.org/ (Zheng et al. 2019). In addition to using the functional annotation provided with the reference genome to search for candidate genes, conserved domains of genes were identified using the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s batch CD search (CDDv3.16 database) (Marchler-Bauer and Bryant 2004; Marchler-Bauer et al. 2011, 2015, 2017). Parental resequencing Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaf tissue of both parental lines (MR-1 and AY) using a DNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands) and sent to the Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for whole-genome resequencing. A Hyper Library construction kit (Kapa Biosystems, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) was used to prepare shotgun libraries for each parental DNA. Libraries were quantified by qPCR, pooled, and sequenced on one lane of a NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) with a NovaSeq S2 reagent kit. Paired-end reads (150bp) were demultiplexed with bcl2fastq v2.20 Conversion software (Illumina). Adaptors were trimmed from the 3’ end of the reads. Duplicated read pairs were removed with perl scripts (https://github.com/Sunhh/NGS_data_processing/blob/master/drop_dup_both_end.pl). Low quality reads were removed with trimmomatic v0.38 (Bolger et al. 2014). The remaining high-quality reads were aligned to C. melo reference genome v3.5.1 (Garcia-Mas et al. 2012) with BWA v0.7.17 (Li and Durbin 2009). Picard v2.18.7 (http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard) was used to assign reads to a read group, tag reads originating from a single DNA fragment, and to create a reference sequence dictionary. The reference genome was indexed with Samtools v0.1.8 (Li et al. 2009). The Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK v3.6) was used for SNP calling following the best practices for variant discovery (McKenna et al. 2010, DePristo et al. 2011, Van der Auwera et al. 2014). SNPs were filtered with Vcftools v0.1.15 (Danecek et al. 2011) to remove those with any missing data, heterozygous genotypes for either inbred parent, and/or genotype quality score of less than 30. SNPs within the major QTL region were functionally annotated with ANNOVAR version 2017 Jul 16 (Wang et al. 2010). Genes with missense or nonsense mutations and mutations to the promotor (less than 1 kb upstream of the start codon) were considered candidate genes. Marker development The parental whole-genome resequencing data was used to design markers to saturate the region of the major sulfur tolerance QTL. Eighteen SNPs from across the major QTL region were developed into KASP markers (Supplementary table S1) using “KASP™ by design” services from LGC Genomics (Teddington, Middlesex, UK). PCR reactions (5 µL volume) consisted of 0.07 µL of primer mix (LGC Genomics; fluorophore-labelled allele-specific forward primers and a reverse primer), 2.5 µL of 2x master mix (LGC Genomics) and 20 ng of sample DNA. A standard thermal cycler was used for a touchdown PCR reaction with a 94°C hot-start activation step for 15 min, then ten cycles of 94°C (20 s) and a starting annealing temperature of 61°C that dropped by 0.6°C each cycle. Twenty-six additional cycles of 94°C for 20 s and 55°C for 60 s followed the touchdown steps. Fluorescence was quantified with a Stratagene Mx3005P (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) quantitative PCR system at 25°C. Fluorescence values were used to cluster samples into genotypes with MxPro v4.10 software associated with the qPCR machine. Marker linkage to sulfur tolerance in the RIL population was assessed through QTL mapping both alone (KASP markers only) and combined with the binned GBS SNPs following the same procedures as described above. Thirty accessions (cultivars and plant introductions) were evaluated for sulfur tolerance and genotyped with the KASP markers. Correlation between the markers and sulfur phenotype of the accessions was assessed through analyses of variance (ANOVA) with the aov function (Chambers et al 1992) in R.

Director: Kevin Smith
Starring: Michael Parks, Haley Joel Osment, Justin Long, Johnny Depp. USA 1h 45m.
I was so hyped to see this after seeing that it had made it onto the screenings at the Abattoir film festival in 2014 and we know they have good taste, twinned with the gross concept of a man being transformed into a walrus.. I was ecstatic.. but I didn’t realise who the director was, and no I’ve never heard his podcast.
Turn up the funny and maximise the strange.
Tusk is pretty much a tamer funnier version of Human Centipede (2010) I have to admit that it’s the two factors that would normally repel me, were actually fairly quirky and entertaining. Based around Wallace Bryton (Justin Long, an actor who will just NEVER AGE!!) who is a podcaster with his loyal buddy Teddy Craft (Haley Joel Osment – who obviously has been eating the dead people that he sees). While in search for the next big thing he ventures into uncharted lands to interview a kid as a prank (much to his beloved disgust) but not wanting to go home empty handed he finds an interesting “call me” in the toilets in a bar and follows up the story of mystery and intrigue, which leads him to the house of a disabled recluse who has many tales of being lost at sea and befriending a Walrus. Wallace wakes up with an amputated leg and then things only start to get seriously strange.Continue reading Tusk (2014)

The load-bearing parts of vehicles are called chassis , frame , chassis or underframe . Load-bearing parts have the function of supporting the drive , the body and the payload and stabilizing them against external forces. In vehicles with a self-supporting body , the body is the load-bearing element.
The wheel suspensions , all essential drive elements such as gearbox and engine , if necessary the body or transport goods container and trailer hitches are attached to the chassis . Chassis with built-in running gear and drive train can also be roadworthy without a body (“rolling chassis”).
- Ladder frame : two longitudinal members made of open profiles connected with crossbars (widespread until the 1950s, today typical for trucks ). The ladder frame has the advantage that the total vehicle length, the wheelbase and the rear overhang can be varied with little effort. Attachments such as tanks can be attached to different parts of the frame.
- Box frame: like ladder frame, but made of closed profiles (tubes), more torsion-resistant than ladder frames, suitable for all-steel bodies.
- Lattice frame : three - dimensional framework (bars only subjected to tension and compression) usually made of tubes (motorcycles, sports cars - mostly from small series production).
- Central tube frame : a round tube or a box made of sheet metal in the longitudinal axis ( Tatra , VW Beetle , VW Type 3 , Lotus Elan , Steyr-Puch Haflinger )
- Platform frame: a base plate reinforced with closed profiles supports the chassis and body ( Renault 4 ).
- " Space Frame ": Framework (parts also subject to bending and shear stress) made of tubes, which are reinforced by suitable connections, supporting sheets, but also glued-in window panes. ( Chrysler Airflow , AWS Shopper , Audi A8 )
- Self-supporting , also known as a shell construction or monocoque : the structure currently used in car construction. Usually made of spot-welded sheet metal, is directly connected to the chassis and transfers all acting forces itself. Auxiliary frames (subframes) are occasionally used on the axles.
Not all types can be clearly assigned, since floor panels, for example, have a closed appearance, but can be dispensed with for the function of the chassis. The frame of the Citroën 2CV consists of two longitudinal members with cross members like a box frame, but is closed between the axles with metal sheets at the top and bottom like a central tubular frame.
Trucks with a body that extends far down to the ground are also built with center tube chassis.

Ukraine has reached a compromise with UEFA on the Ukraine's national football team's kit for Euro 2020. For the period of the tournament matches, one more element will appear in addition to the previously approved design of the uniform of the national team. This was announced by UAF President Andriy Pavelko on his Facebook page.
According to him, UEFA agreed to take into account today's decision of the Executive Committee of the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF) and asked for time to further study this issue after the end of Euro 2020.
"For the period of the tournament matches with the previously approved design of the uniform, one more element will be added on the inside of the jerseys. This is a large emblem of the national teams with a map of Ukraine, a trident and one more inscription "Glory to Ukraine" approved by the UAF executive committee this morning. The slogan "Glory to the Heroes!" will be placed behind the map, in the center of the outlines of the borders of a united Ukraine, and I believe that it will become a real talisman for our guys," he wrote.
Pavelko also noted that Ukrainian players will have such a unique design of the uniform exclusively for Euro 2020.
As it was reported, before the start of Euro 2020, the technical sponsor of the national team of Ukraine, Joma, presented a new team uniform. The map of Ukraine and slogans "Glory to Ukraine!" and "Glory to the Heroes!" were used in the design. The new uniform caused a very violent reaction in Russia because Ukraine was depicted together with Crimea on the map. The Russians sent a request to UEFA in protest, but the organization said that everything was fine with the design.
UAF Head Andriy Pavelko went to Rome to hold talks with the UEFA. Besides, the UAF made a decision to make "Glory to Ukraine! – Glory to the Heroes!" slogan the football symbol of the team.

Sugar may shorten lifespan
Daily sugar consumption has been shown to have significant negative health outcomes. A study at the University of California San Francisco found that drinking a 20-ounce soda on a daily basis was equivalent to 4.6 years of cell aging, the same as smoking cigarettes—and this cell aging has previously been linked with a shorter human lifespan.
Sugar spikes your insulin
The release of more insulin is one of the immediate effects of sugar on the body. Soda is the worst culprit, says Vasanti Malik, ScD, a research scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. ‘Sugars in beverages are absorbed very quickly, which results in rapid increases in blood glucose and insulin,’ she says.
‘Over time this can lead to insulin resistance (in which the body needs more and more insulin to be effective) and place an individual on a pathway to adverse metabolic health.’ Naturally occurring sugars, as in fruit, don’t have the same negative effects because they’re paired with fiber, which helps slow absorption.

The Yo-yo is a toy that dates back thousands of years. While documentation dates this toy back to 500 BC in Greece, historians believe that the Yo-yo really originated even long before that in China. The modern-day yo-yo came about in the late 1920’s when a man named Pedro Flores opened the Yo-yo Manufacturing Company in Santa Barbara, California. Since that time, there have been hundreds, if not thousands of variations on the toy, with kids from every generation having a familiarity.
Microsoft is a company that tries to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technology, although in recent years some may say that they have fallen behind the likes of Apple and Google. When it comes to 3D printing, Microsoft realizes that the technology has a major place in our future, thus they have been preparing for this future by modifying their software and hardware to prepare themselves for what some may consider a “3D printing revolution”. Revolution or not, Microsoft has already integrated Kinect into 3D Builder, allowing for full body 3D scanning and printing using the popular X-Box accessory. They’ve also begun supporting 3D printing in Windows 8.1, while at the same time becoming a reseller of MakerBot 3D printers.
Today, Microsoft has released their collection of 3D printable yo-yos, a collection that includes four different versions of everyones’ favorite toy. The yo-yos, which can be download for free starting today, can be 3D printed on virtually any FFF-based 3D printer. All four of the yo-yos are printed in three separate pieces, and they all feature unique designs. Once printed, they are easily assembled, as is, only requiring that you supply the string.
While we have not printed one of these ourselves yet, 3D printers are usually fairly accurate, so there should be no balance issues when printing them. We would suggest that you use a rather dense infill when printing any of these yo-yos, so that they have a decent weight to them. You may wish to experiment with the infill amount to see which density creates the best working toy.
It should be interesting to see what might come next from Microsoft, who has been publishing more and more 3D printable design files as of late. What do you think? Have you 3D printed any of these yo-yos yet? How did they work? What would you like to see next from Microsoft? Discuss in the 3D printed Yo-yo forum thread on 3DPB.com.

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Srinivasan?
Amazing. I have been terrified of dentists since I was a child. I had a tooth extracted by another dentist and it got infected. I was visiting my daughter when it got infected. We called everywhere and I finally found Dr. Srinivasan. It was after hours but her and her kind and knowledgeable assistant came back into the office to help me. The doctor explained everything and they kept me calm and I didn’t feel anything. I still cannot believe it. I was charged a fair price which I thought should have been more because of all the things she did. She didn’t just treat my tooth but she cared about me. I’m going back to her even though I live an hour and a half away and I’m bringing my daughter. Dr Srinivasan is smart and caring. I can’t say enough about these two women. Thank you so much. You guys are the best.

Are you confident that you could spot a scam if someone was trying to steal your money online, in person or over the phone?
East Dunbartonshire Council’s Trading Standards and Citizens Advice Bureau are joining forces to give people the knowledge to spot scams.
The two organisations will be running information events in July as part of Scams Awareness Month, a national campaign encouraging people to report and talk about scams.
Events are being held in the following venues: Thursday, July 20, 11am-2pm, in Lennoxtown Hub; Monday, July 24, 1-2pm, in Auchinairn Community Centre; Tuesday, July 25, 11am-2pm, in Hillhead Community Centre; and Thursday, July 27, 1.30-2.30pm, in Auchinairn Community Centre.
People will learn the tricks and tactics scammers use to try and steal people’s money, such as making contact out of the blue and piling pressure on people to agree to a deal on the spot.
The events also aim to get more people reporting scams so the authorities can chase down fraudsters so they don’t target others.
Reporting being scammed also means that people can receive advice on how to try and get their money back and protect themselves.
Catherine Bradley, manager of East Dunbartonshire Citizens Advice Bureau, said: “We want this event to bring the issue out into the open and look forward to seeing as many people as possible there.”
If you have been scammed phone Trading Standards on 0300 123 4510 or Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 040506.

The service, the staff were all very professional and courteous. Most of the staff are polite and helpful. We were upgraded to a suite even though we did not require and it was really great.
I would definitely recommend it. But massage was not able to be done easily. Very helpful and friendly staff that made us feel like home.
The food was delicious, plenty of healthy options and whatever you ask for they are happy to serve you. I highly recommend it for families, friends or couples.
I was moved to a sunny room on the 4th floor which suited me, the restaurant staff were attentive yet discreet, the food outstanding.
The thermal baths are reached directly from the ground floor of the hotel. The swimming pool is tucked away at the side of the hotel, again very easy access.
The hotel was apparently quite full but amazingly the whole place was never crowded. I even had one thermal bath enirely to myself one morning!
The morning manager in the dining room was not up to standard and lacked tact when approached with a situation. Most of the staff were excellent.
Great location, wonderful park view, nice personnel, great recreational facility, a lot of different termal swimming pools, saunas and hamam, spa therapy.
Not family friendly at all. Spring water was smelly and not clean too many insects. The therme was on reconstruction and the main issue of a trip was the therme.
The staff was very friendly. Room is great, all other hotel activities are really good, but what made our stay is waiter Anel, he is the most proffesional and fun guy, me and my friend come from hospitality business, and we can honestly say that he is one the best waiters we have ever seen, and a such a great person, of course he is the biggest reason why we will come here next time!

Senate Bill 9, a bill that will make it easier to build additional units on single-family properties is moving forward, after a 45-16 vote Thursday.
Under the bill, it allows homeowners to divide up their property to add housing. This could be a duplex, fourplex or attached living units. Its estimated the bill could add 700,000 more homes to California.
Earlier this week, Senator Scott Wiener’s (D-San Francisco) legislation, Senate Bill 10, passed the Assembly. SB 10 creates a voluntary, streamlined process for cities to zone for missing middle multi-unit housing. The bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 41-9, and will now be returned to the Senate for final approval before heading to Governor Newsom’s desk.
SB 10 allows cities to upzone non-sprawl areas (areas that are close to transit or in existing urbanized locations, thus reducing vehicle usage and long commutes) up to ten unit buildings, if they choose to. This streamlining tool will be a powerful one for cities to increase density
Here is the press release from Senator Toni Atkins:
SACRAMENTO – Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins (D-San Diego) has released the following statement regarding the Assembly’s 45-19 bipartisan vote to pass Senate Bill 9, the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act:
“This bill is about opening the door for more families to pursue their version of the California Dream—whether that means building a home for an elderly parent to live in, creating a new source of income, buying that first house, or being welcomed into a new neighborhood. It’s about giving parents the chance to pass on wealth to their children and giving neighbors the chance to make our communities more inclusive. In short, this bill is about opportunity, and I’m grateful the Assembly has given it the opportunity to move forward today.
“SB 9 is the product of multiple years of collaboration and hard work. Today’s success was possible in large part due to the partnership and leadership of Speaker Anthony Rendon. I’d also like to thank Assemblymember Robert Rivas, who has been a champion of this bill and helped usher it through the other chamber. Finally, I want to express my deep appreciation for my coauthors, Senators Anna Caballero, Dave Cortese, Lena Gonzalez, Mike McGuire, Susan Rubio, and Scott Wiener, and Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, as well as the members of the Senate Housing Lead Group, which includes Senators María Elena Durazo, Richard Roth, and Nancy Skinner, in addition to my coauthors. Each of these legislators are fervently dedicated to solving California’s housing crisis.”
Toni G. Atkins is President pro Tempore of the California Senate. Having previously served as Speaker of the California Assembly, she began her tenure in the Senate in 2016. As Senator for District 39, she represents the cities of San Diego, Coronado, Del Mar and Solana Beach. Website of President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins: www.senate.ca.gov/Atkins
The bill was voted on Thursday and passed in a 45-19 vote. There was also 15 Assemblymembers who failed to even cast a vote.
Here is a look at Senate Bill 9
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

However, the captivating beauty of this state is not limited to just few famous hill stations. Nahan in Himachal Pradesh is also such tourist place which is not so popular, but is worth seeing.

The Diet of humans and dogs is a lot different but the core is the same – both cannot digest everything!
The thing to remember is, not everything you eat is good for your little pooch. And, it’s only a healthy diet that can assure a healthy, playful, cheerful, and lively little feline. Diet is a broader term that includes each and everything your dog eats or can eat. It ranges from dog foods to meats, cereals, veggies, lentils, and treats.
Well, dogs cannot eat everything just like humans or other animals. That’s why you need to be careful with some foods like pumpkin, cinnamons, vegetables, and lentils.
How Does a Dog’s Digestive System Works?
As a dog lover, you are well aware of the fact that nothing is more important than the health of your furry pal. Seeing them playing, jumping, and goofing around means the world to every pet owner.
The diet has the key to deciding the health and that’s why carelessly feeding your poor pooches can cause unbearable and sometimes even fatal health hazards.
The digestive system of your furry pals is made to digest proteins mainly. Feeding them carbohydrates (Potatoes are a rich source of Carbs and fibers) in large amounts is not a good idea. But taking some caution, you can feed your dogs with potatoes. without causing harm to their health. Feeding your pet with the right food that he can digest easily is a wise decision to keep them alongside for long life.
What are the Health Benefits of a Potato Diet?
Potatoes are rich in Carbohydrates, Iron, Vitamin C, Fiber, Zinc, and Calcium. All these nutrients and health-supporting vitamins are equally beneficial for humans and dogs. Considering this, it might be a good thing to be added to the meal bowl but the protein-compatible stomach of your pup might not bear more than few bites stolen from his owner’s plate or offered as a treat.
Now, let’s discuss the main concern, can dogs eat potato skin?
- Can Dogs Eat Potato Skins? – Things You Should Know
- What are the Potential Dangers of Eating Potatoes?
- How Many Potatoes Can My Dog Eat?
- How to Feed Your Dog Potatoes?

Can Dogs Eat Potato Skins? – Things You Should Know
Also, the potato skin contains oxalates that may produce vomiting, diarrhea, loose motion, depression, motion sickness, tremors, fatigue, arrhythmia, and seizures. If handled poorly, all these conditions are sensitive to severity and can be fatal in no time.
Baked potato skin isn’t as harmful as raw because baking decreases the solanine amounts in the potatoes, decreasing the chance of poisoning.
You may have got answers to your queries like ‘Is Potato Safe for Dogs?’ and ‘Can my Dog Eat Potatoes?’ Well, the explanation isn’t that simple and there’s a lot you need to be careful about.
What are the Potential Dangers of Eating Potatoes?
If your pet counters any kind of distress and some sickness, it’s crucial to rush to the vet as animal sicknesses can swiftly lean towards severity. Even it isn’t about sickness, consult with your vet before adding anything new to your pet’s diet.
That’s because a very recent study shows the statistics where pets show higher risks of Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM – a heart disease) if they take a diet containing lentils, peas, potatoes, or legume seeds as the main ingredient. Statistics also showed that Golden Retrievers are more prone to this disease as a result of the aforementioned food choices.
How Many Potatoes Can My Dog Eat?
There isn’t anything exclusively wrong with feeding potatoes but as they are pure carbohydrates and dogs are protein-buddies, the amount should be observed keenly.
According to the American Kennel Club, dogs can take potatoes and potato skin as a treat, not as a meal. That means, only a limited portion is allowed to keep the gut healthy. The experts and vets suggest that the potato content in a pet’s diet shouldn’t exceed 10% of the portion. In other words, feeding a potato up to 120 to 130 calories is alright.
The safe amount also depends on the pet’s health scale. If your dog is obese, feeding them potatoes is not a good idea as potatoes are pure carbohydrates and can cause weight gain. Moreover, if your dog has diabetes, feeding him potatoes even if they are baked, is not safe as Carbohydrates are sugars anyways.
The amount of potato you can feed your dog also depends on the size of your dog. Small dogs weighing up to 10 pounds can eat a quarter cup of potato, half a cup of potato can be served to dogs weighing up to 30 pounds. Large dogs more than 70 pounds are okay to eat a single cup of potato.
The larger the dog, the more potatoes it can eat and vice versa. The amount you feed is directly proportional to the size of your dog. So always make sure to include the right amount of potato to keep your buddy healthy, happy, and fit!
How to Feed Your Dog Potatoes?
Excess of everything is bad but taking a proper and controlled portion can go unnoticed. Here are the top considerations while feeding potatoes to your pets, either with or without skin;
- Be careful with the peels, too much can cause trouble.
- Remove the green parts on the potato skin.
- Make sure to remove any sprouts of baked potatoes.
- The potatoes should be fully cooked.
- Make sure that you do not add any seasoning to them.
Though potato skin is rich in fibers, feeding the right amount of baked or cooked potato skin won’t be as harmful as raw.
The baked or boiled potatoes should always be plain. Do not add any salt, pepper, oil, or other herbs to the potatoes. Peeling the potatoes before feeding them to your dogs is also favorable.
Another important thing to keep in mind is, if your dog has not eaten potato skin before, you should not feed them an ample amount at once. Start feeding in small portions with a break of many meals and note if your feline buddy shows any adverse effects.
What are the Signs of Potato Poisoning in Dogs?
The symptoms of potato poisoning mostly depend upon the amount taken by your pooch. It also depends on the size and weight as a small dog is more prone to show symptoms rapidly. If your dog is already ill or weak, the symptoms and onside of the action can be quicker than normal.
Well, there are a lot of signs and symptoms that can point out excessive potato consumption including:
- The body of your dog may start trembling.
- Your dog may vomit anything it eats.
- You might notice the swelling of the lips or tongue of your dogs.
- Sometimes, dogs experience seizure attacks.
- The body of your dog paralyzes.
- Bleeding from the nose or mouth can also occur.
- The temperature of the dog’s body can get lower or high than normal.
- You may also notice weakness in your dog’s body.
- The pulse rate and breathing rate are also slowed down sometimes.
- Your dog might suffer from jaundice.
- Potato poisoning can also cause heart problems.
- Dilation of the pupils, excess drooling, and dizziness are also some of the symptoms.
The presence of all these symptoms at once isn’t necessary and the degree of damage can be different at different times. You may notice the presence of 2 or more symptoms. Rush to the vet if you notice any.
What are the Safe Ways to Feed Potatoes?
Potato can be cooked in a lot of forms. They can be boiled, baked, and fried to be served as french fries, mashed potatoes, loaded potatoes (mixed with other dog food, not the seasonings), chips, and so on.
Before feeding your dogs with potatoes, make sure to cook completely as raw potatoes can root for many sicknesses. Moreover, never feed only the skins to your dogs. You can feed cooked potatoes with skins to them.
Concluding everything – cooked, baked, or boiled, peeled, no green parts, no seasoning at all; you are good to put it on your dog’s meal bowl.
As you cannot offer potato as the main ingredient, you’ll need to mix it with other food. Do not add anything to your pet’s diet before consulting with the vet. According to the AKC, you can also offer snacks on Blueberries, Bananas, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli, Cantaloupe, Celery, Carrots, Cucumber, Cranberries, Green Beans, Oranges, Mangoes, Pears, Peaches, Pineapple, Pears, Strawberries, Raspberries, Spinach, and Watermelon with a portion of potatoes.
AKC also clearly explains a list of the food items that should never be included in a pet’s diet. These include avocados, Grapes, Cherries, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, and Onions. Sticking to the provided guidelines can be your getaway to keep your four-paw friend happy and healthy, conversely, the situations can be heart-wrenching.
Will Baked Potato Skin Hurt My Dog?
Well, according to the aforementioned information, there isn’t anything wrong with feeding your dog with fully cooked potato in any form but controlled portion size. Same way, there shouldn’t be any issues associated with eating cooked potato peal but only in a controlled amount.
Another thing to ponder here is, the green part of the potato is super rich in Solanine and that’s why it’s crucial to cut off or peel off the green part. Even cooking wouldn’t eliminate it and removal is necessary.
Are Cooked Potatoes Good for Dogs?
Solanine is a chemical substance found in plants – majorly in the plants of the Solanaceae family. Solanine has the potential to cause many health issues if taken in an ample amount. Like tomatoes and other veggies, raw potatoes also contain a considerable amount of solanine, which may be toxic to some dogs.
However, the concentration decreases in cooked potatoes, and thus, the chances of risk decrease. A small portion of cooked potatoes without any added seasoning wouldn’t cause any harm.
Can Dogs Eat Mashed Potatoes with Skin?
Same as cooked and boiled, dogs can eat mashed potatoes but as snacks and not as meals. Just like any other treat or snack, the excess can be seriously bad for your four-paw feline. Keep potatoes in the list of snacks and special treats and make sure to never overfeed.
An ample amount at one can significantly upset the dog’s stomach, causing poor digestion, poor appetite, diarrhea, and discomfort. Well, as potatoes are rich in Carbohydrates, they can cause obesity if served more often. Further, you should avoid feeding boiled or mashed potatoes to your diabetic dogs.
As you are responsible for your dog’s meal, you should be conscious of what you feed your dogs. In this article, you have read major concerns if you opt for feeding potatoes to your pet. The summary is, your dog can never handle eating raw potatoes and its skin. It’s always better to feed a small portion of cooked, boiled, or mashed potato without any seasoning and preferably, skin removed.
Keeping potatoes as a snack on your pet’s diet list is the most feasible option. The article also explains about symptoms and possible risks of potato poisoning along with the suggested healthy amounts. Take care of your furry friend’s health and soothe yourself by seeing them happily running and goofing around!

Beijing is a marvelous city, there is an unending stream of things to see and places to be. It all costs a bit more than in the smaller cities around China, but then it is a modern first world metropolis of the first degree.
Chengdu to Beijing marks my first flight within China, the extreme population means that train tickets can be hard to come by, especially if like myself you leave things to the last-minute. Train tickets in China go on sale 10 days (most trains) before their departure, and these, especially the sleepers, sell out pretty quickly (check out seat61 for times and links to trains in China, very helpful site). So rather than stand on a train for 30+ hours, I decided to fly. $300 later (ouch), I was heading to the sea of people that is Beijing.
Beijing is estimated to have around 22 million people, around the same number as the whole of Australia, all in one city… The most surprising thing though, is how well a place with so many people manages to run. The streets are clean, more so than many places I have been in Australia. The subway network is fantastic, less cramped than London’s and it has air-con! The roads seem to run pretty well, traffic flows faster than Perth with its 2 million people, Only electric bikes are allowed in the cities, and so far the air has not felt as polluted as has been suggested. In fact, I have not had any issues with it whatsoever (although this could be because of my already smoke damaged lungs). I am sure, like all cities, it has its problem areas, but I have explored a number of places, and am nothing short of impressed with this marvelous rat race, and the cool, friendly people who inhabit it.
I don’t really do shopping, I do however enjoy wandering around shopping areas, I have no idea why, by the end of the day my feet hurt and I am inevitably empty-handed, but there is just something about it. Maybe it is the people watching, or the thought that I could buy something if I wanted to, or even that I might find that magical product that will be exactly what I always wanted. Whatever the reason, I decided on my first day alone in Beijing to head out to Xidan, a shopping area in the city, and peruse China’s capitalist side. Xidan is huge! Take one of Perth’s shopping malls, stick another 10 or so of them next to each other, and that is Xidan. I spent an entire day just walking around looking at stuff, watching the never-ending wave of people buying this, that, and “who the hell knows what that is”. It is a great place to find, well, anything.
In “Joy City” (a big mall thing in Xidan), I walked into a Sony event and got to witness first a break dancing show, and then, a group of girls, dressed in comic styled outfits, doing a, umm, well kinda cool/weird dance thingy. Obviously standing out in the crowd, I was approached and told I could have my photo taken with them “for free!”, gangsta, how could I not? The result is below…
Another awesome first for me, the worlds longest escalator! Here I was, just wandering around the shops, and BANG, there it is, the worlds longest escalator, and I have to admit, it is pretty long, maybe too long as suggested by its jerky movement up to the 6th floor.
After all this excitement it was time to eat! In Joy City there are 3 floors (well 2 and a halfish) of eateries. I walked past a poshish looking place and was almost overwhelmed by the amazing smells emanating from its skilled cooks, there was however a line of people waiting, so I headed down a floor and pulled up a seat at Burger King, although probably not as skilled as the cooks at the posh place, these burger emblazoned apron wearers were putting out some delicious smells, and I could not have been happier with my spicy whopper meal. As if things couldn’t get any better, they were playing a live Avril lavigne album to accompany the meal! (one of many guilty pleasures, I actually like her music). What a day…
The Forbidden City
There are many sites to see in and around Beijing, and after picking Sarah up from the airport, having a sleep, and then deciding to get right into the thick of things, me made our first site The Forbidden City, a huge walled “city” most often pulsating with local tourists. Although we only spent a couple of hours wandering its well laid out alleys and courtyards (it was hot as hell), it was interesting to envisage denizens of another time creating such a place, and the privileged few who would have walked its hallowed pathways. The most interesting part of a lot of these places is most definitely the people, they sprawl across every inch of anything worth looking at (and a lot of things which aren’t), taking photos of the most random things, and of course of the funny looking foreigners (I must be in so many Chinese photo albums by now, I can imagine someones great, great grandchildren looking through the family photos, and wondering at the funny looking bearded white guy holding bunny ears over great, great grandmothers head).
I would be remiss not to mention the ice-creams, I did not try one, but was fascinated to see boxes of them in the sun, still solid, without ice! I even witnessed a half eaten one lying on the ground, without melting! What sort of genius came up with an ice cream that doesn’t melt?! And why has his brilliance not been recorded for all the world to acknowledge?
We are staying in the Hutongs, old style lodgings left over in the middle of Beijing’s bustling modernity. These are marvelous to wander around themselves, and we have spent many hours doing so, stopping occasionally in an ultra modern cafe for ridiculously overpriced coffees, fumbling through conversations with excited Chinese youths, or eating mouth wateringly tasty Peking Duck in a posh restaurant alongside an inner city lake.
These areas offer the weary traveller an easy place to do very little, just walk around enjoying the sites. During one of these sojourns, after a crazy Chinese breakfast with our new friend (Youhow), we were approached by an older Chinese man carrying an enormous infant, just wanting a chat he began talking in a frenzy of what to me, are nonsensical noises, not really acknowledging the language barrier at all. Fortunately, Youhow jumped in and we managed to have a “sort of” chat, the old fellow gleamed with pride at the size of his grandson, 8 kilograms apparently, and although proud, he was struggling to hold onto the giant youngster, the hefty fellow slipping slowly towards the waiting ground, while grandfathers arms tired from the exertion.
Seemingly out of nowhere he commented on what a great nose I have! Growing up I disliked my nose, chagrined at its somewhat oversized nature. I have long since embraced its voluptuous contours, but was nonetheless delighted at the old fellows observation, if only I had grown up in China, I would have been the bell of the ball. I was sold on the old boy.
The Great Wall
A few days ago we visited the Great Wall of China, an obvious must do for any visitor, Chinese or foreigner alike. Our days in Beijing had been marked with wonderful weather, if a little warm. Blue skies and low humidity meant shady walks were great, and had this continued, the Wall would have offered up a spectacle equivalent to the thousands of pictures one sees spread across the tinternet.
Unfortunately the foggy smoggy stuff came in and the day of our “10km” hike (it wasnt 10km, and it wasnt a hike) offered a viewing distance measured in meters. Oh well, we were booked in, and so we went. The views were as expected, less than stunning, but we had the wall to ourselves, and a great group of people to explore it with. We joked around and climbed up and down old steps for a few hours, appreciating that at least we were on the wall, and then made our way back to the start, where a great lunch, and great conversation were shared by all.
More and more, travelling is becoming about the people, yeah the sites are cool, but the people make the sites more enjoyable, less like visiting a photograph and more like having an individual experience. The great wall was pretty great, but perhaps more so because of its unexpected inadequacies.
We are staying at Home Youth Hostel, it is only about a month old and is a great place to stay, it does however exhibit a number of teething problems. The staff are über friendly and always keen to say hello and have a chat (somewhat limited depending on the whole english thing), they are new to the hostels inner workings thing, which means a number of no knock, door opening, oh my God he is naked moments. More funny than annoying, until it happens a few more times and then it gets a bit annoying.
It aint no thang though, as I am sure they will figure it out, in fact, after walking into a room with a hairy white dude spread half-naked across the bed, I am willing to bet that that particular lesson is forever etched in the most vivid parts of their collective memories, and that the story will be told countless times, as a warning to the innocent and fragile minds of potential employees.
A few days ago (22/07/12), we happened to see the heaviest rains in Beijing for 6 decades, at the time they did appear pretty heavy, but not knowing what was normal in Beijing, we just huddled inside the awesome communal area, which is entirely glass, roof and all, and watched the storm unfold with no real concern, until the storm entered the building!
This I guess, was its first rain test, and it failed miserably. Water flowed in from the doorway, whose construction insured a direct path into the room, a few places in the ceiling sprung a leak and it was game on. The staff were onto it, but there wasn’t much they could do, water was caught in containers and swept back out the doorway, but the storm persisted and eventually the floor and anything on it was soggy. To their credit, the staff kept things somewhat manageable and had a laugh while doing it.
Despite the damage it may have caused throughout Beijing, it was nice to relax under this glass structure and watch the rains wash away the days heat. Once it calmed, we even went out for dinner and had a fantastic meal of sweet and sour pork, and pepper beef, one of the best meals I have had in China. Top this off with a few cakes from the bakery, a movie in the air-conned room, and it was a damn good day.
The day before leaving Beijing we visited the Confucius Temple, just a walk away from our hostel, it resides in a shady street which offers relief from the blistering sun and its sweat inducing rays. The temple is pleasant to stroll around, and informative about the man it was built for, and they sell funny, tasty yogurt drinks outside!
We could’nt help noticing the almost ridiculous similarities behind Confusias and Jesus, both had twelve disciples, wandered around their respective territories preaching, and had remarkably similar messages, sometimes almost word for word (barring translation), I wonder where Jesus got to in those formative years?
Our last day was another journey to Tianemen Square, a few photos for giggly locals, and out to Joy City for lunch and an unexpected display put on by Calvin Klein (Dancing girls played violin to dance music, and models performed bad catwalk maneuvers for the crowd of local people with camera phones snapping away). Then watching the roller bladers pull off ridiculous tricks in the attached park.
This hectic shopping area was a fitting finish to the hive of activity that was our time here. The city stands as a great example of modern China, an obvious statement, but one that makes a whole lot of sense once you have experienced it for yourself.

Three faculty members at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been elected 2013 fellows of the National Academy of Sciences. Eduardo Fradkin, Martin Gruebele and Sharon Hammes-Schiffer are among the 84 new members and 21 foreign associates announced by the academy on April 30.
Election to the NAS is one of the highest professional honors a scientist can garner. Chosen by their peers, the 2,179 members and 437 foreign associates are an elite group distinguished by their outstanding contributions to the fields of science and technology.
“Our entire campus community is excited to learn that three of our colleagues have been named fellows in the National Academy of Sciences,” said Phyllis M. Wise, the chancellor of the Urbana-Champaign campus. “It is wonderful to see the work of Eduardo Fradkin, Martin Gruebele and Sharon Hammes-Schiffer recognized by their peers. This is among the highest honors for a scientist in our country. It is a proud day for Illinois to see three more of our distinguished faculty taking their places in this prestigious institution.”
Gruebele, the James R. Eiszner Endowed Chair in Chemistry and a professor of physics and of biophysics and computational biology, has distinguished himself in chemical and biological physics. Using laser manipulation techniques and computational modeling, his work has increased the understanding of protein folding in the test tube and in living cells, how energy flows through molecules and how glass surfaces morph and move.
Gruebele earned his doctorate at the University of California at Berkeley in 1988. Since joining the U. of I. in 1992, he has earned a number of awards for both teaching and research, including a Packard Fellowship, a Cottrell Scholar Award and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina (German Academy of Sciences).
Hammes-Schiffer, a Swanlund Professor of Chemistry, is a world leader in theoretical and computational chemistry. Her research focuses on chemical reactions in solution, in proteins and at electrochemical interfaces, particularly the transfer of charged particles driving many chemical and biological processes. Her group has developed theories that blend classical molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics, as well as theories that describe proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. This work has applications in catalyst design for solar cells, understanding how enzymes work, protein engineering and drug design.
Hammes-Schiffer earned her doctorate from Stanford University in 1993. She joined the faculty at Illinois in 2012. Among many other honors, she has received an NSF CAREER award, an Alfred P. Sloan research fellowship and the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science Medal and is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to the furtherance of science and its use for the general welfare. Founded in 1863, the academy acts as an official adviser to the federal government, upon request, in any matter of science or technology.

Investigating Biomass and Carbon Sequestration Potential on Abandoned Land in the U.S.
This summer, I examined the potential of lignocellulosic biocrops (grasses and trees that can be used to produce ethanol) cultivation on abandoned cropland in the United States and what potential these lands have for additional carbon sequestration. Synthesizing ArcGIS, geographic information systems software, with ALMANAC (a crop yield prediction model that considers climatic and soil data in predicting crop behavior) and soil models that predict soil’s carbon saturation, I developed a strategy for calculating the maximum carbon uptake of a soil, along with crop yield potential. From this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding climate science and learned how agricultural practices and ecosystem characteristics play a role in regulating atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. This provided me a more holistic image of what sustainable energy practices encompass and inspired an interest in further exploring what resource management and development could do for greenhouse gas reduction strategies. The research I conducted this summer has helped me develop a foundation for my thesis. I now also hope to pursue a career in the energy sector.

If you have no idea what the mirror statues in Blasphemous 2 do, don’t worry, as it’s not explained clearly. You didn’t miss a part of the tutorial: the game expects you to experiment and learn as you explore. With that said, mirror statues are needed to reach certain places.
Table Of Contents
What You Need to Use Mirror Statues
You need to have the dual rapiers Sarmiento & Centella in order to use mirror statues. If you chose them as your starting weapon, you’ll be able to zoom around the map with help from the mirror statues right away.
All you need to do is hit the mirror statues with Sarmiento & Centella, and you’ll move a short distance in the direction that the mirror statue is pointing.
The Uses of Mirror Statues
Mirror statues in Blasphemous 2 are positioned strategically throughout the world so that you can use them to get past obstacles. These obstacles can be metal grates, ledges, and more. There are even a few platforming puzzles that require you to use mirror statues to get a reward.
Where to Find Sarmiento & Centella
If you didn’t pick Sarmiento & Centella as your starting weapon, you can find them later in the Palace of Embroideries area. To get these dual rapiers, head to the far right side of this region. Take a look at the map image below for their exact location—which is outlined in red.
To get there, start from the Prie Dieu on the far left of the Palace of Embroideries. This Prie Dieu is close to a teleportation room. From here, travel to the right in a straight line until you reach a room with two mirror statues and a chandelier in the middle.
It looks like you can jump on the chandelier, but you can’t—it’s a trick! Regardless, you need to drop down the hole in the middle of the room. Afterward, you’ll be in an underground corridor.
Once in this corridor, head right and you’ll find a round green statue that has many swords embedded in it. Interact with it and you’ll receive the Sarmiento & Centella. Following this, the game gives you a few short tutorial messages about using these dual rapiers.
To switch weapons at any time, press L1 on a PS5 controller, L on a Nintendo Switch controller, Left Bumper on an Xbox controller, and the Q key if playing on a PC.
In addition to using Sarmiento & Centella with mirror statues in Blasphemous 2, they can be useful in combat as well. In terms of damage output, they pale in comparison to the heavy-hitting Veredicto. Although the dual rapiers still possess high DPS (damage per second) due to a swift attack speed. Use Sarmiento & Centella in combination with the Ivy of Ascension to explore the farthest reaches of this dark yet vibrant landscape.

Volunteers spruce up bird hide
Members of the Caithness Countryside Volunteers were pleased with the dry weather on Sunday morning as they were busy painting the second coat of wood preservative at the Loch of Mey bird hide.
The local Scottish Ornithologists' Club (SOC) were fortunate to access a grant from the Action Earth Awards to pay for the wood preservative, brushes, wood and guttering to undertake vital repairs at the bird watching facility.
The event was part of a campaign called CSV Action Earth organised by CSV (Community Service Volunteers). As part of this year’s campaign, Scottish Natural Heritage is supporting around 160 projects in Scotland through grant awards of up to £500, aimed at groups that will help support and encourage volunteer activity through practical environmental projects.
Members of the SOC had previously painted the first coat and had undertaken repair works to guttering and internal wooden fixtures. The Caithness Countryside Volunteers helped complete the project on Sunday when they finished the second coat of preservative and painted areas inside the hide to display new bird identification charts.
Marina Swanson, Highland Council Ranger and Caithness Countryside Volunteer chairperson said: “We are very pleased with the grant from Action Earth as it was sufficient to pay for materials to carry out this project. It is great to have groups working together to improve an environmental facility for the benefit of the whole community. My many thanks to the volunteers who gave up their time to assist with the work.”
The Caithness Countryside Volunteers is organised through the Highland Council’s Development and Infrastructure Services’ Countryside Rangers and is always looking for new members. If you wish to find out more about the group, please contact Marina Swanson on 01955604588 or e-mail email@example.com

Scott Morrisons 2017 budget has no holes . . . apparently . . .
Scott Morrison pledges $3 billion NDIS boost if savings package passes
So the 2017 budget is out, and the big ticket items are .5% increase to medicare levy and the Banks to pay more, although common opinion says they will just pass it strait on to customers.
We also see the usual old "we inherited the problem" from Labour making its usual appearance.
