STATEMEJnT by HON. R.O.P. AREIQUR -- 12th August, 1974
I have heard over the iNational aind International Radio of my dismissal
from the Labour Party. I have also heard and read in the Educator, a
Newspaper almost wholly written and editedd by Mr. Eustace Francis, of my
alleged joining with Eugenia Charles, I wish to make the following state-
Every few years, as an election approaches, certain reactionary forces,
impelled by motives of personal gain and attempts to wield power have
attempted to seize the Labour Party by using the non-political elements in
the Executive to influence decisions. to choose the weakest leader. In 1971,
the Labour Party Executive did the game thing by choosing Mr. Ducreay as
the political leader and attempting to destroy the Hon. E.O. LeBlanc.
At the conference of the Labour Party which chose Patrick John as the
Leader# these same persons were present, aligned solidly behind Mr.Patrick
John. Most Loyal .Party members are noticing the close friendship and in-
fluence which now exists between the: present leadership and certain ele-
ments who were accused of having uttered seditious statements, and some of
whom were convicted of causing destoruction to the House of Assembly in their
struggle against the Labour Government. It is no secret that out of an
Executive of 24 persons, only some: 1 members were present at the voting
which dismissed me and these did not include the more capable Ministerial
talent and young potential. representatives.
The Executive in fact has now-been forced to write to at least five
other members of the Executive asking them to plead loyalty to the party
and the present leadership.
It is strange that the Press and Radio have failed to come out clearly
to state the events which occurred in the House of Assembly. At that meet.
ing, on every occasion, I stated that I remained firmly a back-bencher,
loyal to the Labour Party, but was fprped to state my democratic disgust and
rejection of 'the facts which are sl3w;Ly coming to light. That in addition
to his post of Speaker for which Mr tustace Francis is paid the handsome
sum of $6, 400.00, Mr. Eustaece Francis, under the Deputy Premiership of
Mr, Patrick John, and now the Premier; enjoys the following fantastic re-
1) As; Chairman, Public Utilities & Rent Restriction
Commissions --- Salary -- $8, 640.0I
Tax free As 600. C0
This Agreement is registered and recorded iA the- Book of Deeds J. No.9
folio 352-356 and dated the 8th daylof March 1974,
2) Apart from this Mr. Francis has as recently as June, been appointed,
presumably by the Minister of Finan e, to collect taxes estimated arrears
of milliono. to $1 million at the :ee of 5% commission which mathematically
would eair him between $50,000.00 t6 $75,000,00, It is amazing that while
the Radio chose to give prominence topthe absurd statement by the Hon. Earl
Leslie that I was responsible for the present financial state of Daminica,
no prominence was given to these questionable facts which were the essence
of the vote of Censure against Mr. Francis. This Vote of Censure continues
at the resumption of the House of Assembly o& the 21st August.
It seems I am now the victim-of a trial by Radio and Newspaper, engin-
eered by Mr. Eustzce Francis and hips lose friends .This seems to be an
attempt to close the eyes of the public to the fact that under the present
leadership no LaiJevements other than empty Radio statements and hypocriti-
cal meetings are taking place.
In conclusion I wish to state that I remain loyal to my Constituency in
Roseau South and to my Labour supporters and Dominica. We are working to
bring together the 'progressive forces in the Labour Party to: have capable
and hoefest ,Government and to ensure progress in the Island in the immediate

no I in team
the one that stops to help.
imho an it department is a team effort.
this includes the boss.
We need a little of both
i had a boss who if he did not know how to do something always clicked around and the said yes, like that, go do it, no one can know everything and at the same time we do not need guy shoving the fact that we do not know down our throats i would think we should like to learn on our own without have thew presure to do so.
a little bit of both is what i think
Some of each, a bit of both or one or the other
The best boss is the one who makes sure you can do your job.
Leaving someone to struggle or taking away their very desirable initiative isn't best.
I don't think there are hard and fast rules on this, it all depends on the team member and their needs at the time. In something like this sticking to one approach or the other is going to fail 50% of the time.
I couldn't agree more
Personally I have always lead by example but that by no means meant that I ever showed off but more like all my staff knew that I would never ask them to do something that I was not prepared to do myself.
Sure if I was asked for help I would help out but at the same time I would first take the person away sit them down over a smoke and ask what was going on, what they had done to attempt to fix it and so on. Sometimes I might have thrown in an idea and about 95% of the time that was all that was required the other 5% where the real problem jobs which when the others had racked their brains over and got no satisfactory solution dumped it on my work bench and said "FIX!" And then tell us all how and what you did to it.
Same here
Need to get them to rely on themselves first, then me.
Sometimes I can tell people what I did to fix a problem, when they ask me why I tried that though, I can't always say until I have had a good think and justified the hunch.
Used to drive one of my bosses wild, how do you know it's the best solution?
It works doesn't it? used to put his wig in orbit.
Intuition, useful to have, impossible to teach.
Agreed...one addition
I agree that the role of a 'boss' is to support...
At least for me, I like the approach "don't call me I'll call you". In other words, let me do my job and if I need something you better answer the phone. LOL
My guys are given their jobs and left to do them as they see fit. If they need something or have concerns I make damn sure they (or) their issues are looked after immediately. I find that if I do things that way......they make sure our customers are looked after in the same fashion. Professionally & with respect & courtesy.
With this approach, it's very SELDOM I have to do the reverse. :-)
Its not that neat. A good boss...
1. Knows his subject matter. (ie. if you are talking a CIO -- he knows technology well, if you are talking a Sales Executive...well he knows sales, etc.) After all how can you lead a team if you don't know anything about what your team does?
2. Communicates well. Its a bit "boring" to hear but its true...I think good leaders are good communicators. This means not only dishing out the information his/her team needs to be successful, but also having a personality that is appreciated and respected.
3. Checks the ego at the door. As its been said, there is no "I" in team. A good boss doesn't picture him/herself as someone "who commands and tells folks what to do", rather they should be "leading, helping, directing" what is done.
4. Strict, but fair. I don't think you can be overly nice and be an effective leader - this is more true the larger the group is that you are in charge of. People take advantage of the overly nice. Yet at the same time a tyrant dictator approach will work against your team, and will make many folks secretly plan your demise with a smile on their faces.
Be strict -- stand by policies, what is the "rule" is the "rule" or what is the "procedure" is the "procedure"...but be fair -- what is good for one is good for all, never play favorites.
5. Reward your performers. Reward your highest performers each month, with a comp day, a free lunch, something.
6. Have manners and treat your people with the respect we all deserve as human beings. Its a job, just because Sally is just out of school and is your only $8/hr employee doesn't mean you are above her or she doesn't deserve to be spoken to with respect.
7. Now and again...its ok to have a little humor! Why so many bosses look down on an occassional joke sharing session, or non-work related story session with their employees from time to time...totally evades my logic.
Trust me follow those guidelines well and folks will respect you and work hard for you too.
Not that I'm actively
looking to be fired ...
May I come work for you??

Sony Xperia XZ3 Refurbished overview
Making life simple through design
The seamless, yet durable water resistant design uses a tough Gorilla glass, keeping your phone safe from splashes and unexpected knocks while looking beautifully elegant. The Xperia XZ3 also has a new intuitive design which gives you easy access to all your entertainment and frequently used apps. The fingerprint sensor sits on the back in the centre, so you can unlock it without moving your hand, and the 'always on' display can display your key info on the lock screen. So much easier.
Enhancing life's experiences through the senses
The Xperia XZ3 takes colour and contrast to a new level with X-Reality™ for mobile - creating high resolution imagery for a high quality viewing experience. Add to this a new dynamic vibration system that allows you to feel the action in your hands as you watch or listen to your films and music. Xperia XZ3's front-facing stereo speakers have sound-enhancing technologies, including 'S-Force Front Surround' meaning you get even more volume in high clarity, even if you're listening via bluetooth or wireless speakers.
Photography that pushes the limits
How to capture beauty and detail in an instant? Get intelligent. The Xperia XZ3 features a new AI 9MP Motion Eye™ camera that knows what you want to capture before you do and reacts - perfect for spontaneous action shots. The phones' new 'Smart launch' instantly prepares your camera when you hold your phone up in landscape mode, automatically setting you up for a beautifully framed shot. Your videos will also encapsulate incredible detail, no matter what time of day or night. Another exciting new feature of the Xperia XZ3 is the new '3D Creator'. Pick an object, scan it, turn it into a 3D avatar, then share it.
A phone that performs, as you do
Built for all-day entertainment and multi-tasking, the Xperia XZ3 can handle all your apps, videos and games. It also has a clever new way to ensure your battery lasts longer. By estimating how long your battery will last according to your average usage it can then activate 'Stamina Mode' to prevent you running out of power. Stamina Mode cuts energy consumption so you can always stay connected. Now that's impressive. The Xperia XZ3 is also compatible with a fast wireless charging dock.

A special report from our Zone Cross Country correspondent and photographer, Nelson G-
As the grey clouds zoomed across the sky, the Zone Cross Country carnival commenced!
First there was the 8/9 girls event followed by the boys. After that there was the 10 years girl and boy race. The 11 year boys (which consisted of most of the Tighes Hill team) zoomed past the finish line. The 11 year girls had a wonderful race and scored lots of points. The 12/13 boys and girls were last for the day and also performed exceptionally well.
Everyone behaved very well, the weather held off throughout the events and everyone was really tired by the end. The day's final score was; Kids:1, Storm:0.
Well done and thank you to Nelson for offering to report on this event for our blog and taking some fantastic photos!

Carretera Transpeninsular Km. 7 Mz 10, Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Free WiFi
The only private beach resort in Los Cabos, Esperanza couldn't feel further from the freewheeling streets of downtown Cabo San Lucas (though it's only a 15-minute drive, in case a craving for cheap strawberry-mango margaritas strikes). This 57-room hotel sits right on the rocky Cabo coast, meaning every room, suite, and infinity pool—several room categories come with their own—promises stellar views, and a constant soundtrack of crashing waves. The rooms, a soothing blend of crisp white linens, light wood-beamed ceilings, and massive windows, are all spacious enough to spend the day in, but with a world-class spa, fitness center (which also offers a full schedule of workout classes), and experiences that include sea foraging and a tequila tasting course, you'd rarely be tempted to do so.

Nobody likes mosquitoes, but some of the methods that have traditionally been used to control them can be just as bad. These have often involved strong-smelling sprays that contain harsh chemicals that are just as bad for the environment as they are for a person's health. Fortunately, there are plenty of methods of safe mosquito control that will let you sit outside this summer without being constantly bit.
Eliminate Breeding Grounds
One of the best ways to keep mosquitoes away from your property is to keep them from breeding anywhere near you. Mosquitoes thrive in wet areas such as swamps and ponds, but just about any source of standing water can be an ideal place for mosquitoes to breed. If you have puddles of stagnant water around your property or even things such as bird baths and water dishes for pets, consider either getting rid of them or emptying them often enough to keep mosquitoes from laying their eggs.
Consider Natural Mosquito Yard Repellent
There are plenty of things that act as all-natural mosquito repellent that you can use in your own backyard. The most obvious and probably most common method is to light some citronella candles, but while this is effective if you have a minor mosquito problem, it might not help if your yard is swarming with these biting insects. A more effective solution is to use a product containing garlic juice on fences, grass, mulch, and just about any other surface in your yard. The only problem with this is that these solutions do smell like garlic, so you will want to use it sparingly if you plan to entertain guests regularly in your backyard. Other effective natural mosquito repellents include lemongrass oil, cedar oil, and lavender.
Choose the Right Personal Mosquito Repellent
If you don't mind wearing mosquito repellent either in the form of a spray or a lotion, make sure you're choosing a product that is both safe and effective. Products that use DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus as the main active ingredient will be safe to use. When you use a mosquito repellent, only apply it to exposed skin, not underneath your clothes. Only use as much as you need, and avoid putting it on any area with open cuts.
Finally, remember that no mosquito repellent will leave you completely protected. There are several species of mosquitoes out there, and it is likely that a few of these pests will still try to take a bite out of you. Experiment with some of these safer methods to see what works best for you, and don't be afraid to take your party inside if there are just too many mosquitoes for you to handle.

Zawahiri urges Lebanon to reject UN resolution
The Al-Qaeda's number two has called on Lebanon Muslims to reject the UNSC resolution that ended last summer's war with Israel.india Updated: Feb 14, 2007, 12:47 IST
Al-Qaeda's number two has called on Lebanon's Muslims to reject the UN Security Council resolution that ended last summer's war with Israel, in an audiotape broadcast on Al-Jazeera television.
"I call on the brothers of Islam and of jihad (holy war) in Lebanon not to yield to Resolution 1701 and not to accept ... The presence of international and crusader (Western) forces in south Lebanon," said Ayman al-Zawahiri, righ-hand man of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, on Tuesday.
"The American plot in Lebanon is the same as in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Gulf countries, Algeria and Somalia," he said, denouncing as "traitors ...
Those who cooperated with the crusader and Zionist campaign" in Lebanon last summer.
Resolution 1701 led to an August 14 ceasefire in the 34-day war that broke out when Israel retaliated to a cross-border raid by rebels of the Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah, who captured two soldiers.
It also stipulated an enhanced presence of UN peackeepers in the south of the country.

Bill Moyers on Karl Rove
My Fellow Texan
by Bill Moyers
Like the proverbial hedgehog, Karl Rove knew one big thing: how to win elections as if they were divine interventions. You may think God summoned Billy Graham to Florida on the eve of the 2000 election to endorse George W. Bush just in the nick of time, but if it did happen that way, the Good Lord was speaking in a Texas accent.
Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious, draft-averse, naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas, was to sell him as God' anointed in a state where preachers and televangelists outnumber even oil derricks and jack rabbits. Using church pews as precincts, Rove turned religion into a weapon of political combat — a battering ram, aimed at the devil's minions. Especially at gay people. It's so easy, as Karl knew, to scapegoat people you outnumber. And if God is love, as rumor has it, Rove knew in politics to bet on fear and loathing. Never mind that in stroking the basest bigotry of true believers you coarsen both politics and religion.At the same time he was recruiting an army of the Lord for the born-again Bush, Rove was also shaking down corporations for campaign cash. Crony capitalism became a biblical injunction. Greed and God won four elections in a row — twice in the Lone Star state and twice again in the nation at large. But the result has been to leave Texas under the thumb of big money with huge holes ripped in its social contract, and the U.S. government in shambles — paralyzed, polarized, and mired in war, debt and corruption. Rove himself is deeply enmeshed in some of the scandals now being investigated, including those missing emails that could tell us who turned the Attorney General of the United States into a partisan sock puppet.
Rove is riding out of Dodge City as the posse rides in.
At his press conference this week he asked God to bless the President and the country, even as reports were circulating that he himself had confessed to friends his own agnosticism. He wished he could believe, but he cannot. That kind of intellectual honesty is to be admired, but you have to wonder how all those folks on the Christian right must feel discovering they were used for partisan reasons by a secular skeptic, a manipulator.
On his last play of the game all Karl Rove had to offer them was a Hail Mary pass, while telling himself there's no one there to catch it.
Karl Rove, unemployed, rubs his cheek against the bathtub spigot because he misses that heavy, stick-to-your-ribs Ukrainian home cooking. Karl Rove capitulated completely, offering total loyalty as he accepted the position of White House Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda: "I love him," Karl Rove wrote, rubbing his chubby little hands together, "because he has thought through everything. Such a sparkling mind can be my leader. I bow to the greater one, the political genius, the President of the War on Terror." Karl Rove rubbing his porcine body along an arm or leg of its human is not only a way in which to attract attention (and perhaps a morsel of food); it is also a way of "marking" the United States as his own.
What smells?
During the briefings at Treasury and Commerce, then-Bush administration political director Ken Mehlman and other White House aides detailed competitive congressional districts, battleground election states and key media markets and outlined GOP strategy for getting out the vote. Commerce and Treasury political appointees later made numerous public appearances and grant announcements that often correlated with GOP interests, according to a review of the events by McClatchy Newspapers. The pattern raises the possibility that the events were arranged with the White House's political guidance in mind.
The briefings are part of the legacy of White House political adviser Karl Rove, who announced this week that he's stepping down at the end of the month to spend more time with his family. Despite Rove's departure, investigations into the briefings are expected to continue.

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is an invasive fungal sinusitis with a high mortality rate, especially in immunocompromised patients. A 70-year-old woman, with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus, presented with a one-month history of non-specific headaches associated with progressive swelling of her left eye. Computed tomography of the brain and orbits showed the extensive involvement of bilateral intranasal sinuses, orbits, extraocular muscle and soft tissues. The diagnosis of invasive mucormycosis was confirmed from a tissue biopsy taken from the internasal septum. Despite the extensive mucormycosis invasion, she was successfully treated with intranasal and systemic amphotericin B and minimal adjunctive intranasal sphenoidotomy.

Police are hunting a man who held a knife to a girl's face in Leamington.
The incident happened as two girls, aged 14 and 12, were sitting on a bench in Tachbrook Road, near the Sun in Splendour pub.
They were approached by a man who asked them if they had the time.
One of the girls took her mobile phone out of her pocket. The man took a lock knife from his pocket, held it to her face and snatched the phone. He cycled off along Tachbrook Road towards Whitnash.
The offender is black, 6ft 1in, slim and in his mid 20s. He wore a red zip-up jacket and red baseball cap.
DC Andy Carrington said he was keen to trace two people who came to the girls' aid after the incident.
The first, who started to chase the offender, is a white man with curly hair, in his 20s, tall, of medium build, wearing a cap and carrying Tesco shopping bags.
His companion is a slim woman of mixed race, with long dark hair, in her 20s.
Anyone with information should call DC Carrington at Leamington CID on 01926 415000. ..SUPL:

The Metabarons is Alejandro Jodorowsky's crowning achievement as a comic book writer. His first story, "The Incal," introduced us to the Metabaron: a cold, cunning space mercenary armed with miraculous weapons and a complete lack of mercy. In "The Metabarons," we learn the full history of his lineage, a clan of immensely powerful men and women raised in Spartan-like families bred for violence. The stories, thanks to art by Juan Gimenez, take on a mythological significance that is rare in most comic stories. "The Metabarons" is an unparalleled sci-fi comic classic.
Explores the geneology of the galaxy's most merciless warrior clan, the Metabarons.

In My Busy Being Bella Day by Rebecca Patterson, being packed off to nursery seems like the short straw to Bella.
Whilst she has to work hard, she can't help imagining all the fun her younger brother is probably having with Mum. Treats at the café? Or a trip to the soft play centre? Not only that, for snack time Mum has packed Bella a banana with brown spots on it. Ugh. Life just doesn't seem fair.
But is Bob really having so much fun at home? Does Bella really end up having such a bad day at nursery?
With My Busy Being Bella Day Patterson has written an acutely observant, extremely funny book about sibling jealousy and love, which also explores the anxieties kids can face when starting school/nursery. As a parent I found her choice of "moments" almost unbearable, they were so accurate; from the rather empty activity of colouring in a number in the name of "education, education, education" whilst mum and younger sibling are indeed sharing coffee foam in a café, via the horror of a slightly squashed banana especially when everyone else in the class seems to have much more appealing snacks, to the genuine delight children have in being selected as the "Special Person" of the day, Patterson has chosen reassuringly familiar moments for many families.
This recognition makes this picture book a thoroughly satisfying read, but it is also delightful because Bella is such a joyous character. She may only be three but she's got bags of spunk and style (wait till you hear her singing or see her dressing up). She doesn't set out to be deliberately funny, but her take on the world will make many a parent laugh, and many a child feel that Bella is really them.
The illustrations remind me a little of a childhood favourite of mine – Topsy and Tim – perhaps because of the use of flat colours, black line drawings and familiar domestic settings, but with rather a lot more spirit. Click here to see for yourself!
This is actually Bella's second outing: she was also the star in My Big Shouting Day, a hilarious book which deservedly won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2012. I think Patterson deserves to make history and win the prize for a second successive year with My Busy Being Bella Day – Rebecca Patterson really has been busy being brilliant.
One of the many activities Bella gets up to at nursery is making a picture out of pasta. As she comments, pasta can be rather hard to glue onto paper so to get round this problem we combined two nursery staples: making pictures with pasta and salt dough.
To make the salt dough we mixed 1 mug of plain flour with half a mug of table salt and half a mug of water. Once combined we kneaded it for a little to make it nice and smooth and then we were ready to go.
We use the salt dough as our canvas and simply pushed the pasta shapes into the dough.
We rolled our salt dough out so it was about 1 cm thick and then simply pushed the pasta in hard to make sure it was secured.
Baking the dough took a long time – about 12 hours at 50C. Once it dried out we used lots of hot glue to stick our dough-pasta-art into frames; I sourced a couple of cheap frames from charity shops and simply took out the glass.
Now they're a proud part of our gallery!
Whilst making our pasta pictures we listened to:

Some sea animals breathe underwater, and others
just hold their breath a really long time. Whales
and dolphins and other mammals (and birds too!)
are in this category. They just stock up on air
before going underwater. Fish and amphibians
(like tadpoles) breathe with gills that take air
out of the water. When water flows and churns,
air mixes into it, and fish can breathe this air
out of the water. If you have pet fish, there's
always water running somewhere in the tank because
if you let it get perfectly still, there wouldn't
be enough air mixed in and the fish would struggle
to breathe. Gills are very interesting organs, and
need to stay wet to work, so fish can't actually
breathe out of water.

Russia and Iran have made progress in talks on cooperation in converting Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment facility into a plant for producing stable isotopes, Russia's atomic energy corporation Rosatom announced.
Under the July 14 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers, the Fordo facility has to be converted into a nuclear, physics and technology center.
According to a press release cited by Sputnik, Rosatom's international relations officer, Nikolay Spasskiy, and deputy head of Russia's environmental, technological and nuclear oversight service, Aleksey Ferapontov, met the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Ali Akbar Salehi, on November 11-12. They also met Iran's head of nuclear regulatory body, Nasser Rastkhah.
"Questions of implementing a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [the official title of the nuclear accord] were discussed in detail, as provided for by the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 [adopted in July to endorse the JCPOA]. We looked into approaches to restructuring the Fordo site for stable isotope production. Signs of real progress were evident," Rosatom's statement read.
Iran is now waiting for an assessment by the IAEA over its past nuclear activities due in the coming weeks. Tehran says its nuclear work has been entirely for peaceful applications.
Iran's relief from sanctions by the United Nations, the United States and the European Union envisaged in the nuclear deal is subject to IAEA's report on the country's nuclear past and the agency's verification that Iran has carried out its commitments under the JCPOA.

Among the most interesting hiking trails of National Park of the Casentino Forests you can explore during your staying, we recommend those that reach the spectacular Acquacheta waterfall.
Acquacheta is a stream in the province of Forlì-Cesena, an affluent of the Montone river that originates in the Tuscan Apennines.

A new style of ecotourism
At La Fattoria dell'Autosufficienza the experience of the surrounding nature goes along with the ecological building of the agritourism, for a 360° green holiday
The term ecotourism is thought to be coined by Mexican architect Hector Ceballos-Lascurain, author of several books on this topic. In 1988 he gave the following definition of ecotourism: «Ecotourism is that tourism that involves traveling to relatively undisturbed natural areas with the specific object of studying, admiring and enjoying the scenery and its wild plants and animals, as well as any existing cultural aspects (both past and present) found in these areas».
Most of the Northern part of the Apennines is made of a marl-sandstone formation, which is characterized by visible layers of rocks where the vegetation is lacking.
While sandstone can form very resistant slabs, marl is very friable and this makes it unsuitable for climbing activities.
However, thanks to ancient geological movements (around 20 million years ago), some limestone rocks have arrived to this region too. Now they are all lined-up: Mount Fumaiolo, Balze di Verghereto, San Marino, Sasso Simone and Simoncello, San Leo, Perticara, Scorticata, etc.
Did you reach the Farm by Mountain Bike? Well, congratulations!!
If, instead, you arrived by another mean of transport, but your MB is with you, congratulations anyway because this means that for sure you have good intentions!
In both cases you only have to enjoy your Welcome Drink and soon discover thousands of trails you can run with your MB!
One thing I like to do most when I am staying at the Farm is…catching the stars!!
No, I'm not gone crazy, but in the city where I live I can never do that because there is too much lighting and even the air we breath is "polluted" by stress feelings.
At the Farm in the evening, after my daily works are finished and if it's not too cold, I go outside, find a place on the garden and lie to see the sky. There's no need of sunglasses or sun creams, there's no sound of waves, but instead I can listen to a concert of frogs, birds, cicadas, wind rustling through trees and I let you imagine how many other sounds come from the woods.
WILD VEGETATION of the Farm
- Horsetail (Equisetum sylvaticum, Equisetum arvense)
- Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum)
Interview to Francesco Rosso by Sepp Holzer

Sculpting stable structures in pure liquids
Oscillating flow and light pulses can be used to create reconfigurable architecture in liquid crystals. Materials scientists can carefully engineer concerted microfluidic flows and localized optothermal fields to achieve control on nucleation , growth and shape of such liquid domains. In comparison, pure liquids in thermodynamic equilibrium are structurally homogeneous. Experimental work based on theory and simulations have shown that if the liquids are maintained in a controlled state of nonequilibrium, the resulting structures can be indefinitely stabilized.
Sculpted liquids can find applications in microfluidic devices to selectively encapsulate solutes and particles into optically active compartments to interact with external stimuli for a variety of medical, healthcare and industrial applications. In a recent study published in Science Advances, Tadej Emeršič and co-workers in Slovenia and the USA developed pure nematic liquid crystals (NLC), where they dynamically manipulated defects and reconfigurable states of the materials by the simultaneous application of multiple external fields.
Solid materials can exhibit distinct structural phases simultaneously, a property that can be manipulated to engineer functionality. However, in pure liquids at equilibrium, such structural phases that correspond to grain boundaries and defects do not arise. While liquids exhibit a number of attractive features including the ability to wet surfaces, demonstrate high diffusion coefficients and absolute compliance, it is challenging to include additional functionalities to liquids due to their inherent homogeneity. Complex behavior is observed in multicomponent synthetic and biological mixtures and the resulting structures are difficult to manipulate since they occur in out-of-equilibrium situations. Such situations generally involve multiple components with sharp miscibility and gradients between hydrophilic and hydrophobic domains as well.
Scientists have developed active matter in the form of living colonies and bioinspired synthetic counterparts. They printed hydrophobic/hydrophilic domains on to liquid mixtures by relying on surfactant nanoparticles and controlled non-equilibrium systems to demonstrate the motion and transition between different rheological regimes. Liquid crystals (LCs) are an ideal system to study the phenomena of interest, such as spontaneous symmetry breaking, topological defects, orientation ordering and external stimuli based phase transitions.
Nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) are the simplest form of liquid crystal molecules without orderly positions, and they differentiate from pure liquids at the level of the molecular orientation. NLCs have a range of properties that allow them to serve as microreactors and conduct inherent polymerization reactions for intriguing future applications. Current work in the field is still experimental, for example, nematic flows in microfluidic environments, which highlight the potential cross-talk between topological defects in different fields of velocity and molecular orientation.
In this work, the scientists observed the phase interface with NLCs for the first time, experimentally accomplished by generating polar-phase domains that were controlled by combining microfluidic confinement, fluid flow rates and laser pulses in practice. Emeršič et al. used the single-component nematic material pentyl-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) in all experiments performed in linear microfluidic channels with a rectangular cross-section. The scientists fabricated the channels with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) relief and indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrates using standard soft lithography procedures. They then filled the microfluidic channels with 5CB in its heated isotropic phase and allowed it to cool down to the nematic phase, before beginning the flow experiments. The scientists also chemically treated the microchannel walls to engineer a strong homeotropic surface to anchor the 5CB molecules.
The work represented an ideal experimental model of a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) orientation material phase. In the initial stationary state within a microfluidic channel, the heated material appeared black. When the flow was turned on, depending on the velocity of flow, the birefringent appearance changed from black to bright colors. The flow aligned domains evolved in this way to either grow or annihilate with flow velocity.
The materials scientists named the flow regime the 'bowser state' due to the bowed profile of the material and the flow aligned state as the 'dowser state' due to its analogy to the so-called dowser field in nematostatics, where nematostatics is the charge density of elastic nematic materials, analogous to electrostatics. The dowser state has an anisotropic orientation with its own elastic behavior, topological defects and solitons (a solitary wave packet that maintains its shape while propagating at constant velocity). In comparison, the bowser state is effectively isotropic and simple in the simplified 2D view. The scientists were able to control the shape, splitting and coalescence of these phase domains.
Emeršič et al. conducted all experiments at room temperature, driving and controlling fluid flow in the microchannel with a pressure-driven microfluidic flow control system. They studied the flow regimes, reorientation dynamics and flow-driven deformations of 5CB in the microchannels using polarized light microscopy. The scientists built laser tweezers around the inverted optical microscope with an IR fiber laser operating at 1064 nm as a light source, and a pair of acoustic-optic deflectors driven by a computerized system to precisely manipulate the beam.
In the study, the flow-aligned dowser state was stable under strong flows but unstable in weak flow. Depending on the flow velocity, the dowser domains could grow and shrink in the experiments as seen in numerical simulations. The scientists calculated the criteria for growth and shrinking of domains in time and indicated how the domains grew, shrunk or annihilated along the channel.
By carefully applying the laser tweezers, the scientists showed that a steady stream of domains could be produced by dissecting the original bulk dowser with a moving laser spot, where the laser melted the sides of the material's phase boundary. A growing domain at higher flow velocity could thus be split longitudinally in half, with a static laser beam at low light intensities.
The laser tweezers allowed dynamic control of the size, number and lifetime of generated dowser domains, which were further manipulated by modulating the periodic flow velocity. For instance, under uniform flow, the dowser field aligned uniformly along the direction of flow to either grow or shrink, depending on the regime of the velocity. The scientists were able to tune and actively control the flow as a constant-sized domain that could be stably maintained for more than ten seconds.
Furthermore, in the model developed by Emeršič et al., they showed how the flow direction could be reversed for the dowser domain, leading to a rapid reversal of orientation from the previous state of equilibrium. In addition, the dowser field could couple to external magnetic and electric fields and gradients of the channel thickness to determine the control, flow steering and optical tuning of the 5CB nematic material. The scientists observed the direct response to the external stimuli clearly through birefringence in the study and determined this to be a suitable method to measure the viscoelastic and rheological properties of the material.
Emeršič et al. envision the possibility of conducting chemical reactions in such enclosed volumes in practice, as previously shown with liquid crystal templates. In addition to that, based on the principles outlined by Emeršič and co-workers, a 3D printing system can be engineered to contain liquids, within which complex and out-of-equilibrium structures can be created and stabilized. The experimental models developed in this study using standard thermotropic LCs are also transferrable to active and biological materials with nematic behavior. The proposed and demonstrated method is a technical tool in materials science, with potential applications in biophysics, chemistry and chemical engineering.

Since the vast majority of vehicles accidents in the United States today are directly caused by driver error, many manufacturers are looking into the ways to cut down on human error by ensuring that autonomous technology is used to manage the car.
One of the greatest technological developments in recent years has to do with the number of manufacturers who are looking into automated technology that could operate cars.
Since the vast majority of vehicles accidents in the United States today are directly caused by driver error, many manufacturers are looking into the ways to cut down on human error by ensuring that autonomous technology is used to manage the car.
(Image via Treehugger.com)
The problem is that as the technology has advanced and it has become a reality that more of these cars may be on the roads in coming years, the public has been slow to be comfortable with this type of technology.
A recent study conducted out in San Diego with driverless cars operating around a neighborhood found that many people were uncomfortable sharing the road with these cars. However, a new AAA study has found that consumer confidence in self-driving technology is improving. However, six out of every ten drivers participating in that study said that they would still be afraid to ride in a completely autonomous vehicle.
A majority of drivers are still uncomfortable about sharing the road with this technology or using it themselves. The respondents that are most willing to trust autonomous technology are male drivers and millennials. Even in both of those groups however, consumer confidence was not entirely promising. Approximately half said they still were concerned and would be afraid of riding in a self-driving vehicle.
(Image via Electrek.com)
This survey, however, does show that consumer acceptance of the concept behind self-driving technology and overall confidence in using it is improving. In the annual survey completed most recently, nearly two-thirds of U.S. drivers said that they would be afraid to ride in a completely autonomous self-driving vehicle, which is a decrease from 78% in last year's survey.
The context of a fully autonomous car still makes some people uncomfortable because they believe they would lose control of being able to step in in an emergency situation.
More drivers, though, are experiencing lower levels of autonomy already as manufacturers look for ways to implement technology throughout vehicles, including warnings about lane departures and other tools.
As consumers hear more about the technologies, it is expected that the consumer confidence levels will increase. Cars are currently being outfitted with warnings and visual aids, partial automation, adaptive cruise control and emergency driving interventions. Safety features are becoming more active than ever, including automatic emergency braking, which are becoming highly recommended by consumer reports and have been shown to significantly reduce the chances of crashes that lead to catastrophic injuries.
As more drivers begin to experience these systems on a lower level, they make them more confident in autonomous technology overall. Some of the headlines in the recent years, however, have been associated with partially automated driving systems that have made people less than completely confident in sharing the road with these.
The AAA survey found that only 13% of drivers across the United States currently feel confident sharing the road with a self-driving vehicle, and nearly half of the respondents in the AAA study said they would feel less safe. Despite the fact that driver error is the most common reason for the vast majority of traffic accidents, consumers are slow to adopt a confidence level about sharing the road with these types of cars.
If you're one of the many people seriously injured in an accident caused by driver error, you need help from a lawyer who can assist you with full recovery of injury damages. You shouldn't have to cope with a case like this on your own- get help from a lawyer.

***Please Note*** After careful deliberation we have decided to discontinue our purebred Arabian
breeding program. Although Kia will remain here for the rest of his days we will no longer be offering him at public stud.
He will be gelded and retire as my riding horse after fufilling his 2013 breeding obligations. Thanks to all of those who
have supported him the last few years*******
Ever since I began breeding Arabians I have had the picture of my ideal Arabian in my minds eye. Until I met Kia it was
only a vision. This gorgeous stallion comes closer, than any before him, to my idea of the ideal Arabian. Kia has
all the ingredients to become a valued asset to the future of the breed. His pedigree brings to the forefront greats
such as Tornado and Pistoleero. His correct conformation and athletic ability combined with his extreme type will help cement
the primary objectives of our breeding program- breeding acomplished athletes that are unmistakeably Arabian- with the possible
added bonus of color!
The 2011 babies are growing up and we couldn't be more pleased, and this years 2012 babies are just as
good! All are typey, correct and tall with outstanding pocket pony temperments as well as well as wonderful minds for
learning. And man is Kia putting on the chrome!
The consistent quality that Kia is siring is outstanding. He might very well be the best stallion to ever stand
here at Foxwillow! And considering the caliber of stallions we have had the honor of including in our breeding program (including
Magnum Spatz and the late great Colonel J) that is saying something!
NEWS!!! Kia just went to his first "Big Ride"! There were 37 horses and he was better behaved than most of the other
horses. Surrounded by mares, geldings it just didn't matter. I had to tell most people he was a stallion- and then they looked
to make sure I wasn't lying! This horse is a true ambassador for the breed- he is everything the Arabian was meant to
be before the "Crazy A-rab" stigma took hold. I plan on taking him to every organized ride, ACTHA ride, Cowboy Challenge,
Parade and any other Equine Event we attend and educating as many as we can about the myths and misconceptions about
this wonderful breed. Kia's foals are inheriting his wonderful disposition and trainability too!!

Stud Fee $500.00 for 2012 both Purebreds and Partbreds. SCID Clear.
****Seven foals for 2011! Go to 2011 Foals to see them- 3 Purebreds and 4 Half Arabs!.****
Photo below was taken as a three year old. As you can see Kia's beauty hasn't diminished with age.
