A-State Rugby Drops Close One Against Life
JONESBORO, Ark. — Arkansas State University's rugby team fought hard to the final seconds, but was unable to come away with a win as Life University edged the Red Wolves, 23-17, Saturday afternoon at the A-State Rugby Field.
The loss gave A-State the second of only two MidSouth Conference defeats, both coming at the hands of Life this season. With the victory, Life captured the conference championship and the Red Wolves have a chance to finish in second place with a win or a tie against Lindenwood, Saturday, April 12, in St. Charles, Mo. Play begins at 5 p.m.
"It was a great day for rugby, two formidable opponents with everything on the line and for us, for home field pride, and the last regular home season game for some of our seniors," commented A-State head coach NeMani Delaibatiki. "We would have loved to send off all our seniors with a win, but I guarantee that regardless of the final score, every Red Wolf player out there gave his heart and soul into the game."
Arkansas State went into the match without the services of several players because of injuries. Delaibatiki made several personnel changes, including fullback Emilio Betanzo in a starting role. Betanzo, a 5-9, 190-pound freshman from Chillan, Chile, got the home team on the scoreboard first with a penalty kick.
"With the way injuries have been going, we had to make changes and move some guys around," continued Delaibatiki. "Emilio is one of the guys we trusted to start at fullback, which is a crucial position, and he proved he was ready. With Dale Bates and Gavin Brown injured from last weekend's game against Davenport, the pressure was on us as a whole team to step up and play well and I think we did that today."
The Running Eagles answered with their own kick and then scored on a try with about eight minutes remaining in the first half. A conversion added three points and Life took a 13-3 lead in at the half.
"Life came out strong and we defended well, and even launched a few of our attacks and they defended that well too," added Delaibatiki. "The Arkansas State and Life game is a great matchup with a lot of similarities in regard to our physical approach at the breakdown and how we approach the game. But key penalties and minor decision making errors allowed them to score all their points with several penalty kicks and two tries."
Arkansas State came out in the early minutes of the second half with a try from Kudakwashe Makuvire, a freshman from Harare, Zimbabwe, and brought the Red Wolves closer with a score of 13-10. Life added another six points and A-State followed quickly to put the Red Wolves ahead by one, 17-16. Both teams spent the rest of the match trading possession of the ball before the Running Eagles had another try and conversion to leave the final score, 23-17.
"The score does not properly reflect how well we played in that game, and by far, this has been the best game we have played this season, and it's getting better every week," the first-year head coach said. "Crucial mistakes and us not executing effectively when having the ball in hand at times were our downfalls today. But, the gutsy performance of everyone on the team is the best we have seen all season and it's a step in the right direction.
"We will take the loss and accept it for what it is. Now, we will work and act to make changes so that when we are faced with the similar situation in the future, we will know how to effectively approach it," concluded Delaibatiki. "I have a great group of young men, and it's promising to see that regardless of several starters not being able to play due to injuries and what not, everyone still rises to the occasion regardless of who is wearing the jersey and filling in, and that in itself is a success, a step in the right direction, and heading forward that's exactly what we are trying to build prior to going to the playoffs."

Public engagement
UKRI supports world-leading research and innovation to create a more prosperous, healthy and sustainable society. Creating opportunities for people to discuss, create and participate in research and innovation is an important way to achieve this, because this makes research and innovation more relevant, impactful and trusted.
A renewed commitment to public engagement
UKRI's new vision for public engagement has four ambitious goals.
We will support researchers, innovators and institutions to:
- Engage under-represented communities and places with research and innovation
Some groups in society have many more opportunities than others to participate in activities related to research and innovation. We are committed to closing this gap through our public engagement programmes and partnerships.
- Actively involve a wide range of people in their work
Active participation in research — such as citizen science or co-designing research projects with communities — can improve research quality, make it more relevant to society and have significant benefits for those who participate. We want to help researchers and innovators shift the balance of public engagement, from communication of research findings to active participation.
- Nurture a future generation passionate about research and innovation
The UK needs an outstanding, diverse workforce if we are to secure our place in the world in the 21st century. Informal learning experiences at museums, science centres, festivals and school clubs are an important way for young people to engage with research and innovation. All young people should have access to these experiences, no matter their background or where they live.
- Listen to public concerns and aspirations
The UK has pioneered approaches to understanding public concerns and aspirations for research and innovation. As the pace of innovation continues to increase, it is more important than ever that policymakers, funders, researchers and innovators are able to engage society in the development of plans and priorities.

Blaze Allen was an amateur mystic whom the Night Spectre discovered. When Blaze Allen refused to allow Night Spectre to take his soul, the Night Spectre left. Blaze Allen, who worked at the Quentin Carnival was eventually married to Iris Simpson by Father Hellstrom. However, just after Blaze and Iris became married, the Night Spectre appeared and drained Iris of her lifeforce. This put Blaze into a deep depression, and he began delving more and more into magic.[1]
Eventually, he was approached by Merlin, who helped Blaze bond with the demon Etrigan, so that Blaze could make sure that Iris' soul would rest in peace, by recovering it from the Night Spectre. By chanting "Gone, gone o'form of man, arise the demon Etrigan", Blaze Allen became the second Speed Demon. In his adventures as Speed Demon, he fought foes including the alien creature Doctor Doomsday, Vengeance, Uatu the Guardian, the Two-Faced Goblin, and of course the Night Spectre.[1]
His secret identity was later discovered by his nephew Wally West, who also worked at the Quentin Carnival with him, and treated Blaze like a father. After this, Speed Demon battled against the Night Spectre alongside Wally, and they successfully freed the souls being held by Night Spectre, including the souls of Jay Garrick and Iris Simpson.[1]

Our third great expereince with Jade
For the third time in three years, Jade Granite did a great job installing a quartz countertop in our home, this time in our kitchen. There were a couple of tricky considerations relating to the removal of our old laminate countertop and the installation of the new quartz one, in part due to the mirrored backsplash that we have. Gaurav, as had been the case previously, was extremely professional and customer-oriented throughout the process. He helped us identify some material options from his large contingent of local quartz suppliers, and then arranged the templating, cutting and installation of the countertop. He also accessed a Blanco sink and grid for us at at a good price and brought in the plumber to complete the new sink and faucet connections.
We highly recommend Gaurav and Jade Granite, and would like to thank him and the entire team, including Dmitri, Thomas, Cass, Blaze and Cheerad for their excellent work. The installation looks great!

Tina Charles had 24 points and 14 rebounds to help the Connecticut Sun open a four-game road trip with an 83-72 win over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.
Tina Charles had 24 points and 14 rebounds to help the Connecticut Sun open a four-game road trip with an 83-72 win over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night.
The win clinched a playoff spot for the Sun.
"Obviously, that's a goal at the start of the season," Kara Lawson said, "so for us to do it for the second year in a row, we're happy to get it out of the way. Now we can focus on positioning and how we are playing."
Charles earned her 13th double-double of the season as the Eastern Conference-leading Sun (18-6) improved to 9-2 on the road. Lawson had 18 points and Renee Montgomery added 15. Kelsey Griffin, in her first start this season, responded with season-highs for points (nine) and rebounds (nine).
"I thought we did a better job (Tuesday) on guarding their pick-and-roll and stopping the ball," coach Mike Thibault said.
Reserve Courtney Vandersloot scored 17 points to lead five Chicago players in double figures. Swin Cash added 15 points, and Carolyn Swords, Epiphanny Prince and Sonja Petrovic each had 10 for the Sky (9-15).
Chicago, which snapped a nine-game losing streak with Sunday's 82-70 victory at Connecticut, has now lost 10 of its last 11. The Sky were without center Sylvia Fowles, the WNBA's rebounding leader, for the second straight game.
"It's harder without Syl," Charles said. "With Syl there, there are no double-teams on me."
Vandersloot scored eight straight points in the first quarter as the Sky surged from a 13-6 deficit to a 14-13 lead with 2:32 showing. The Sun jumped back ahead on a Lawson jumper and went on to a 21-20 lead by quarter's end and never trailed again.
Charles scored 10 second-quarter points and Connecticut took control with a 13-2 run that opened a 40-27 lead with 3:06 left. Chicago, which shot 12 of 38 (31.6 percent) from the field in the first half, never got closer than nine as the Sun opened a 44-33 advantage by halftime.
The Sun led 58-44 after three quarters and the lead hit 21 midway through the fourth when Jessica Moore hit a 3-pointer to open a 73-52 lead.
Fowles was absent for personal reasons, according to a team spokesman. The U.S. Olympian leads the WNBA in rebounding (11.4) and is seventh in scoring (17.6 points).
The Sun limited the Sky to 4 for 24 shooting from 3-point range. Chicago had hit 10 last Sunday.
Connecticut is at San Antonio Thursday, while Chicago travels to Indiana on Saturday.

Iran seems to be struggling again from US sanctions and despite major buyers announcement for their full compliance with Washington's will to fully stop any incoming Iranian oil, Tehran is starting to store oil in fleet of supertankers again as impending US sanctions force the Gulf country to revive a strategy it deployed under previous curbs.
Bloomberg's tanker tracking data revealed there are currently eight tankers holding 14 million barrels of Iranian crude or condensate, a form of light crude extracted from gas fields, anchored in the Persian Gulf. This indicates that Iran is having a hard time finding buyers for its oil.
The build-up in Iranian oil supplies underscores the pressure that Iran is facing as Washington aims to bring Iranian oil exports down to zero to force Tehran to re-negotiate a nuclear deal.
The Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) Felicity loaded condensate at Iran's Assaluyeh port in early August and then set sail for Jebel Ali in the UAE, shipping and trade flows data on Reuters showed. It arrived at the ship-to-ship transfer area off Dubai on Aug. 7 and has been anchored there since.
Last year, China was the largest buyer of Iranian crude accounting for almost a third of Iran's crude and condensate exports.
Exports so far this month slumped to around 1.3 million barrels a day (bpd) after they were as high as 3 million bpd back in 2016.
Iran finally managed to get Dino I and Dune to China out of Kharg Island. The last vessel to make the journey was the supertanker Starla, which left on Aug. 25 carrying two million barrels.
During the first half of this year, Iran shipped 660,000 bpd of oil to China. To maintain that rate of purchases, five to six supertankers should have left for China in the past 18 days. So far, most of the ships have only been holding crude at sea for a few weeks, rather than for months at a time as they did during 2012-2016 sanctions, tanker tracking compiled by Bloomberg show.
Almost all of Iran's main customers purchased fewer Iranian barrels in August than they did in April, the month before Trump said sanctions were being reimposed.
Regardless of the motivation, flows to China have plunged at a difficult moment for Iran, with buyers including South Korea, France and others either reducing or completely stopping their purchases due to US pressure. Tanker tracking compiled by Bloomberg indicates that OPEC's fourth-largest exporter is already having to store barrels amid dwindling demand.
The tankers, carrying about 2.4 million barrels of South Pars condensate combined, have been floating off the UAE since August after South Korea halted imports from Iran while China's demand dropped during summer, according to several industry sources and shipping data.
International Energy Agency (IEA) said the impact of the sanctions will soon affect Iran as the country's crude output fell by 150,000 bpd in July compared with same time last year. Exports fell 280,000 bpd reaching to 1.9 million bpd from a peak of 2.5 million bpd in May.
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) monthly report released on Thursday showed Iran's oil production fell by 150,000 bpd in August, despite OPEC's monthly oil production rising 278 million bpd to reach 32.6 million bpd.
Iran's oil production fell for the fourth month in a row, according to OPEC data, to 3.584 million barrels, compared to 3.734 million barrels last July.
Iran will face US sanctions on its oil sector in early November. Trump administration's aim is to stop Iranian exports altogether. China, Iran's biggest oil importer, said it will continue to import oil from Tehran.

Income Tax Notice by Speed Post held not served properly as it returned back and was not sent by registered post to qualify u/s 27 of General Clauses Act as per judgment of Supreme Court – ITAT
ABCAUS Case Law Citation:
Main Ground of appeal:
The main ground of appeal raised by the assessee in this case was that notice under section 143(2) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 which was sent by speed post was not properly served upon the assessee, as the assessee was abroad at the time of alleged service of notice.
Brief Facts of the Case:
The income tax return of the assessee was selected for scrutiny under CASS and a notice u/s 143(2) was sent to the assessee fixing the case for hearing. However the said notice returned back with the remark of the postman that the addressee had left India. As the notices was returned back, no one appeared before the AO and eventually the assessment was made under section 144.
On appeal, CIT(A) also upheld the assessment made u/s 144.
Judgments relied by the CIT(A)
The CIT(A) had heavily place reliance on several judgments of the Supreme Court.
In the case of Madan & Co vs Wazir Jaivir Chand under Jammu & Kashmir Houses & Shops Rent Control Act, 1966 , the Apex Court had held that a notice had to be served through post. Their Lordships held that all that a landlord could do to comply with this provision was to post a prepaid registered letter (acknowledgment due or otherwise) containing the tenant's correct address. Once he did that and the letter was delivered to the post office, he had no control over it. It was then presumed to have been delivered to the addressee under s. 27 of the General Clauses Act. It was opined that that to interpret the provision as requiring that the letter must have been actually delivered to the addressee, would be virtually rendering it a dead letter. It was held that if a registered letter addressed to a person at his residential address did not get served in the normal course and was returned, it could only be attributed to the addressee's own conduct. They held that of the addressee was compelled to be away for some time, all that he had to do was to leave necessary instructions with the postal authorities.
Further, in the case of K. Bhaskaran vs. Sankaran Yaidhyan Balan related to service of notice u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, where the notice sent by the complainant through registered post was returned by the postal authorities with the remarks "unclaimed" and the defendant pleaded that he was not aware of the notice and, therefore, could not be held to be guilty of not complying with the notice to make the payment within 15 days of the amount in respect of the bounced cheque. The Apex Court have held in this decision that the situation would amount to refusal of the registered article and that the service of notice was deemed to have been made on the defendant.
Contentions of the assessee:
The assessee submitted that admittedly the notice was not served upon him, which was apparent since the envelop containing notice was returned back with the remarks by the Postal Authorities "Addressee Left India". That the assessee had not authorized anybody (including maid servant) to receive notice on his behalf. It was submitted that CIT(A) had held that since the assessee was issued notice under section 143(2) of the Act, by registered post and therefore, it was a deemed service of notice and while holding such finding, the CIT(A) had relied upon a number of judgments. However, it was submitted that the judgments relied upon by the CIT(A) were not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the present case, as admittedly the notice was not issued by Registered Post, as it was sent through Speed Post.
The assessee relied on the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of ACIT vs. Hotel Blue Moon the assessment completed without service of notice u/s 143(2) was not a valid assessment.
Observations made by the Tribunal:
It was observed by the Tribunal that the notice u/s 143(2) was sent by speed post and not by Registered Post whereas the CIT(A) had held that notice was sent by Registered Post and had relied upon number of case laws for the proposition that in a case where Registered notice is sent, there is a deemed service of notice.
According to the CIT(A), the "registered article" was duly tendered at the house of the appellant, the postman had stated that a maid servant was available at the house in this period when the notice was sought to be served. The postman had also stated that he used to serve all the articles including registered articles to the appellant's servant only. It indicated that the servant of the appellant was authorised to receive registered articles on his behalf.
The CIT had referred to section 282 of the Income Tax Act which deals with service of notice. CIT(A) held that under sub-section (1) the AO could serve a notice either by post or in the manner provided under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908.
To define the meaning of the term 'service by post' CIT(A) had referred to section 27 of the General Clauses Act, 1897 as under:
"27. Meaning of service by post.- Where any Central Act or Regulation made after the commencement of this Act authorizes or requires any document to be served by post, whether the expression" serve" or either of the expressions" give" or" send" or any other expression is used, then, unless a different intention appears, the service shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre- paying and posting by registered post, a letter containing the document, and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post."
Further, the CIT(A) had held that if the notice u/s 143(2) sent by registered post to the correct address is returned back by the postal authorities because the addressee was not available at his address and there was no agent authorised by the assessee to receive the registered notice on behalf of the addressee, accepting the assessee's contention would imply that no valid proceedings u/s 143(2) can be initiated in such a case even though the notice was sent by a method prescribed under law.
According to CIT(A) It would lead to a situation where even though the notice was properly issued by the AO in time by registered post and the registered article also reached the assessee's address within the limitation period of service of notice on the assessee, the proceedings would be held to be invalid because the notice was not handed over to the appellant or to his authorised agent.
The ITAT noted that CIT(A) heavily placed reliance on the case law(s), where the notice was sent through Registered Post, whereas the fact remains that the notice was not sent through Registered Post. Therefore, the case laws relied upon by the ld. CIT(A) were not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the case.
The ITAT observed that the Supreme Court in the case of Hotel Blue Moon had held that service of notice under section 143(2) of the Act, is a mandatory requirement and without service of such notice, the assessment is not a valid assessment.
Further, the Tribunal noted that following the decision of the Supreme Court, the Allahabad High Court in the case of CIT, Lucknow vs. Salarpur Cold Storage (Pvt.) Ltd. had clearly held that assumption of jurisdiction without issuing of notice u/s 143(2) cannot be cured even by taking recourse to deeming fiction u/s 292BB of the Act.
The ITAT cancelled the assessment made u/s 144.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) will launch a high-end model in the series of instax mini instant cameras that offer credit card-sized photo prints instantly. The new instax mini 90 Neo Classic has a premium, camera design with a full range of camera functions. The mini 90 stands apart from the previous "cute" image that instax had built up in the past and features a variety of shooting modes for various scenes and applications for users to enjoy.
The instax mini series enables users to write messages on high quality, credit card-sized photos immediately. The mini series has been popular among teenage girls and women in their early 20s. The new instax mini 90 Neo Classic targets not only women — previously the key target for instax — but now also men. Its premium, feature-rich camera design will attract camera enthusiasts who desire additional features and control over their picture taking. The instax mini 90 offers not just additional features but also improved picture taking quality. The camera detects the lighting conditions and automatically adjusts the flash and shutter speed to optimum settings.
The instax mini 90 Neo Classic offers a variety of shooting modes new for instax. These include the double exposure mode in which 2 images are produced on 1 film sheet by pressing the shutter twice. The bulb* mode keeps the shutter open (10 seconds at longest) allowing night views and light trails** to be clearly photographed. Using these shooting modes will enable users to produce artistic instax creations. There is also the macro mode which allows short-distance photography at the press of a button without attaching a closeup lens like previous instax models. A kids mode, is best suited for photographing kids, pets and other fast moving subjects due to a fast shutter speed. Finally, the party mode allows the subject and background to be photographed clearly even in dark rooms and settings. Other shooting modes and settings are available to help the user capture the perfect instax photo. The instax mini 90 Neo Classic offers even more photo opportunities than previous instax cameras to enjoy greater creativity.
Fujifilm will continue communicating the attractive features of instax cameras as well as the intrinsic values of instax photos in the different aspects of "taking, preserving, decorating and giving" by focusing especially on the multitude applications of an instant photo.

The Southside High School band is moving to the sound of victory as the We Go Public Cool Schools winner for February!
From jazz to marching, the Cardinal Band received the most votes out of the three programs in the running.
Mike Misko, band director at Southside High School, said he credits the students on all of their hard work for their victory.
"My job is helping kids make music all day, every day. I can't complain about that," said Misko.
Crystal Gonzalez, a senior at Southside High School, is the only student in the school to make it to the all-state band.
Gonzalez said she credits Misko for believing in her talent and helping her perfect it.
"He's one of the few people that really pushed me to keep going and keep practicing because he saw something in me that most people didn't see," said Gonzalez.
Gonzalez starts her day with practice in the band hall around 7 a.m., and then takes her daily classes, along with practices into the evening. She said that's what it takes to make it to the regional band.
"It's extremely difficult," said Misko. "All the best kids from the other schools and she (Crystal) placed at the top of that group as well to earn her the all-state honors."
"No one ever took me as a leader, so it was kind of hard, showing them that I could actually do it," said Gonzalez.
The bond is strong within the tight-knit group; Gonzalez encourages other students across the city to explore the music programs available to them.
"There's just a lot of kids that day in and day out, they're really committed to being the best version of themselves that they can be, and it shows," said Misko.

2019 Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is the only four-door muscle car available on the market today as it accompanies its two-door brother the Dodge Challenger as part of Dodge's horsepower-frenzied lineup. A few changes are in order for the 2019 Dodge Charger lineup considering the model has not had a massive refresh since 2011. Dodge has been tight-lipped about future changes, but it appears electrification may be in the plans.
Starting At
Max. Horsepower
Avail. Engine Type
Avail. Touchscreen
Engine Type
The 2019 Dodge Charger lineup offers prospective buyers five different trims and four engines to choose from. Rear-wheel-drive is standard, while only the SXT trim (base trim) can opt for all-wheel-drive. The SXT and GT trims feature a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine capable of generating 300 horsepower under the hood along with 264 lb-ft of torque. These trims also feature variable valve timing (VVT) technology, a system designed to improve the engine's performance and fuel economy ratings, all while paired to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can manually change gears using the AutoStick feature. These two trims have a fuel economy rating of 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The Dodge Charger R/T trim follows and it's powered by a 5.7-liter V8 HEMI engine, with 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. The V8 engine features a multi-displacement system (MDS) that actively shuts off four of the eight cylinders while the vehicle is cruising at a steady speed to improve fuel economy features. This Charger R/T trim boasts 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
High Octane Power
The Dodge Charger Scat Pack is the trim that follows, with its 392 cubic-inch SRT HEMI V8 engine, also equipped with MDS like on the Charger R/T. Able to reach 485 horsepower and up to 475 lb-ft of torque, the 2019 Dodge Charger Scat Pack offers a much heftier muscle car. This trim has 15 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway in terms of fuel efficiency. The top-tier trim is the Charger SRT Hellcat, which features an all-new functional nostril-intake. A Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 SRT engine under the hood generates 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.
Exterior Features
The exterior design of the 2019 Dodge Charger remains relatively the same when compared to previous models. 2019 brings forth various badges, a Gloss Black painted roof, an AWD Rhombi badge, and racing stripes are the new options for this model year. Standard on the 2019 Dodge Charger are the following features: automatic headlamps, an acoustic windshield, remote keyless entry, LED daytime running lamps, acoustic front door glass to reduce outside noise, and solar control glass to tame cabin heat buildup. Heated exterior mirrors are available on every trim except the base SXT trim. Wheel size varies from 17-, 19-, or 20-inches depending on the trim, while buyers can choose from 12 different colors for the exterior.
Interior Features
The 2019 Dodge Charger seats up to five people and comes with a 60/40 folding seat for additional storage space. Every trim except the SXT has features such as heated front- and second-row seats, complete with automatic temperature control. Instead, for 2019, the SXT is the only trim that features ventilated front seats. Standard upholstery for all trims — except the SRT Hellcat — is cloth, while theSRT Hellcat and the Scat Pack trims offer leather upholstery instead. A leather-wrapped shift knob is a lineup standard, while every trim but the SXT (optional) also features a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Uconnect 4 is the infotainment system that's standard on all trims, featuring Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto Capabilities, along with integrated Bluetooth voice command. A six-speaker and 7-inch touchscreen are both standard on the SXt trim, while the GT trim and onward feature a six-speaker premium sound system coupled with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display and HD Radio. The GT and R/T trims both feature Dodge Performance pages as well.
Safety Features and Warranty
Standard safety features on the 2019 Dodge charger lineup include advanced multistage front airbags, supplemental front seat-mounted and side-curtain front and rear airbags, a ParkView rear backup camera, stability and traction control systems, a Sentry Key theft deterrent system, and a ParkSense rear park assist system. Advanced safety features — Blind Spot monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection — come standard on the Charger SRT Hellcat.
All 2019 Dodge Charger models are covered by a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, roadside assistance for five years or 100,000 miles, and rust-through coverage for five years or 100,000 miles — whichever comes first.

Intensive Chemigation
It doesn't take an agronomist to realize that Jeff Raybould wouldn't be growing many crops on his 2,000-acre farm west of St. Anthony, Idaho, without irrigation. After all, much of the main farm borders sagebrush-covered BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land, and the St. Anthony Sand Dunes are only a couple miles away, which means that most of Raybould's fields already contain more sand than soil.
Consequently, 100% of Raybould's operation, which produces potatoes, malt barley, and alfalfa, is under sprinkler irrigation. However, those pivots are utilized for much more than water. They're also a crucial tool for applying chemicals and fertilizer while managing crop inputs to avoid leaching or crop damage.
37 years of chemigation experience
"I've been using fertigation and chemigation since 1978," Raybould says, noting that because of the sandy soil, he applies nitrogen a little at a time, as the crop requires it. "However, I have a variety of liquid products I'm putting on barley and potatoes via injection pumps. My pivots are making a circle approximately every two days, and there's something being injected nearly every time they go around from about late June until early August. That includes several different fertilizer solutions, as well as fungicides and pesticides that I put on using the same Agri-Inject pumps."
Raybould, who is a member of the Idaho Water Resource Board and president of the local irrigation district, says he typically starts a potato crop by applying a portion of the fertilizer as a preplant application. A little more nitrogen is banded at planting, followed by a topdress application a short time later.
"The balance of the fertilizer on potatoes then goes on through the pivots starting when the crop is about 4 to 6 inches high and continuing through maturity," he explains. "In general, I'll put on about 15 units of nitrogen every other time the pivot goes around, or about every four days."
Tissue analysis
Combined, his potatoes receive 15 to 18 applications of fertilizer and four to six applications of chemicals through pivots.
"I have a program built for each crop, which includes a certain amount of nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, sulfur, and trace minerals. However, I take plant tissue samples twice a week, so I'll often tweak the blend to meet the plants' needs."
Raybould's program for barley generally includes 120 to 140 units of nitrogen when the crop follows potatoes and 200 units when barley follows barley. That's usually applied through four to five fertigation applications that end when the crop is in the boot stage. As a general rule, the rotation involves one year of potatoes and two consecutive years of barley, with alfalfa fitted in where it makes sense.
"The advantage of putting on fertilizer and chemicals with the pivots is twofold," he says. "With fertilizer, the timing of the application can be matched to the growth stage of the crop and the time when it needs it the most. The other advantage is I'm not having to drive on the crop or spend extra money on fuel."
The one exception, he says, is when he has to spray for wild oats. That herbicide can't be put on through the pivot and has to be applied with a sprayer or aerial application. Otherwise, fertilizer, most herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides are applied via chemigation.
"In these sandy soils, I simply can't put on more fertilizer than the plants will use in a few days or weeks," Raybould explains. "If I were to put on half of the nitrogen at one time and I got an inch of rain, it would quickly leach to below the root zone. So for me, chemigation is the only way to go" to effectively and economically apply crop inputs."

A gluten free diet does not have to impact your social life.
Don't be too surprised to discover these delicious gluten free drinks below. So good, even your non gluten free friends will want a sip!
The Celiac Disease Foundation says all alcohols and "distilled vinegars" are allowed, unless they contain malt or staining agents. If that sounds too good to be true is because, sadly, it is.
Beer is a no-no, unless certified Gluten Free.
Although Vodka is usually gluten free, a few brands do contain wheat. Some GF recommended are: Tito's vodka made in Texas, Ciroque, the Cirrus, the Zodiac.
Tequila is made from blue agave, which is naturally gluten free. However some cheap brands do add gluten, so if you see "mixto" on the label be aware that it possibly contains gluten. Some gluten free brands include: 1800 Tequilla, Jose Cuervo, Patron, Sauza, and Hornitos.
If you want to add some fun to the alcohol, Coca Cola and Cranberry Juice are suitable options for a gluten free diet. Syrups such as the "Teisseire" or "Tropico" brand do not contain superficial colors or gluten.

The French qualifying event to select the national representative for the European competition
The Maison de la Mutualité in Paris will be hosting the 11th Bocuse d'Or France on 23 and 24 September. Eight participants, selected by the French National Organising Committee, will be competing for a place in the Bocuse d'Or Europe, which will take place in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2020, in the hope of then continuing on to the world finals in Lyon in January 2021.
Created by Paul Bocuse in 1987, the Bocuse d'Or is an international gourmet cooking competition that takes place every 2 years at the Sirha (Food services Trade Fair) in Lyon. Organised by GL events Exhibitions, this event is a genuine top-level cooking show during which talented new chefs must prepare exceptional dishes on two particular themes, and in a set time.
The competition will take place in the Theatre of the Maison de la Mutualité. The theatre's seats are fitted to a sliding system that allows them to be stored under the stage, thus making it possible for the kitchens to be installed across the entire theatre floor. Tables will be laid out around the kitchen areas for the jury and other guests.
This year, the contest will last five hours, during which the participants will have to make a main dish with rabbit on a serving tray and 8 dishes made with artichokes on plates.
To decide the winner, two juries - comprising a total of 14 chefs - will assess the dishes proposed as well as the cooking technique and expertise of the candidates. The "tasting jury" will have to rate the side dishes and the main dish according to precise criteria. The "cooking jury" will have to ensure that all the rules are properly applied and assess the participants' methodology and organisation in the kitchen. Then, the candidates must pass a final interview and explain what drove them to take part in the Bocuse d'Or adventure and what they hope to achieve in the future.
Once again, the French national qualifying event promises to provide plenty of excitement and emotion.

Yahoo Answers
UPDATED 6/12/09: Here's a post I found with more ideas for getting rid of ants in your house without chemicals: Rid Your Home of Ants Without Chemicals at http://blog.wereliving well.com.
I found ants in my cats' food bowl Friday when I got home from work. How do you keep ants out of the cats' food? I looked it up on http://answers.yahoo.com and sure enough, it has been asked before. The best answer by Katslookup--not suspended yet was to spray Home Defense around the OUTSIDE of the house, windows, doors, foundation but also place the bowl inside a larger dish filled with water so there is a moat around the cat's food bowl. Ants can't swim so won't be able to get to it! I tried this and it worked! No ants crawling in the food since, just some around the bowl which I promptly squashed with my fingers. Have you ever used Yahoo Answers find a solution to a problem? You might want to give it a try. (Here is a link to the post I wrote about it: Keeping Ants Away With a Moat and Use For Good China.
Photos to PaintingsAt I found out there's a site, called Paint Your Life that takes your photo and makes an oil painting of it! Wouldn't that be a cool gift!!

The Paws Spot: National Check the Chip Day
The Paws Spot, Traci Wilkerson Steckel, Traci's Paws.
Guess what today is? It's Check the Chip Day! And not Fritos, Cheetos or Pringles either, we're talking microchips for your pets and this is serious business.
According to the ASPCA, approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year and of those animals, approximately 1.5 million are euthanized. Only an average 710,000 animals who enter shelters as strays are returned to their owners and we need to take action to bring this number up and make sure that more families are reunited with their lost pets.
The most common way for a lost pet to be reunited with its owner is by identification. While it is important to make sure that your pet wears a collar with updated contact information, it is possible for a collar to break away or even slip over your pet's head. The next best and proven way to keep your contact information with your pet is by getting him microchipped. Many rescues and shelters will already have this done when you adopt but always ask because not all shelters have funding for microchips. If your pet has one, make sure that your contact information is updated and associated with the microchip company. Be sure to fill out your paperwork and send it in to the microchip company immediately! There isn't anything more discouraging than when a lost pet comes in with a microchip that has not been updated by its new owner who just adopted him, or his owner who just moved or changed their phone number.
The American Veterinary Medical Association recognizes that microchips greatly increase the chances that pets will be reunited with their families if they are lost or stolen…but a microchip only works if its registration information is accurate. Since this is such a huge way to keep your pet safer when lost, this is what they suggest to you on this "Check Your Chip Day":
1) Make an appointment with your veterinarian for microchipping if your pet isn't already microchipped (then make sure that your pet's chip is immediately registered).
2) Check your already-microchipped pet's registration information in the microchip manufacturer's database, and make sure it's up-to-date.
Since there are so many databases that allow you to register your pet's microchip, there is one that counts the most – the one that animal shelters and veterinarians will search – is the database maintained by the manufacturer of your pet's microchip. There is a great tool that the American Animal Hospital Association uses, which is the Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool (link to this: http://www.petmicrochiplookup.org/) which is linked to the registries of the majority of microchip manufacturers and allows a quick database search of any microchip made by these manufacturers.
If you are unsure how to access the site, you can watch this YouTube video (please link to https://youtu.be/jthjs8NngrU) to walk you through the process.
So while some people may be out trying to find the best chips to eat with their guac today, you will be in the know, out taking action to help keep your pet safe, and returned back to you if ever lost. Check the Chip.

Ten Things We Did the Third Week of Funner
More on our continuing search for summer fun. For more funner ideas, check out last week's list for more ideas, activities and links.
1) We were back at the lake for more swimming on a hot day
2) We were back at the library, this time for story time.
Again, PLEASE check your local library if you're looking for inexpensive, family friendly summer entertainment.
3)We were mad scientists in our kitchen
You can find a bunch of experiments and fun science related projects at this link that you can do at home with minimal supplies.
4) We played at the indoor playground
5)We bought, and played with, a new game. This one is called Flipping Frogs and it cost Five Whole Dollars at Five Below (I'm not getting a kick back from Five Below, but as far as "dollar" stores go, they're pretty cool and have a big variety of games, puzzles and craft kits for five dollars and less which means you can have more fun for less money and i love that)
6)More bowling!
Have you signed up your kids yet www.kidsbowlfree.com ?
7) We went to the movies and saw Brave!
My review? The Princess and I thought it was awesome. It was a little too dark for Littlebit (not much, just a little) and Baby Bee couldn't care less about it.
8) We took a road trip. Our favorite way to travel. We love packing up the car and hitting the open road.
9) We looked for ways to stay cool. Baby Bee got inventive and built her block towers on the window sill in front of the fan.
10) We had a birthday and it made our hearts full.
What are you doing this summer? Anything you really loved? Anything that didn't work out? We tried to make bouncing polymer balls and they were a total flop.

Funk Flex Disses Drake In NYC
Last night at Jadakiss' Top 5 Dead Or Alive album release party in Long Island, New York, Funkmaster Flex was doing his DJ duties and decided to diss Drake while on stage. While a Meek Mill song was in rotation and had the club in a frenzy, Funkmaster Flex got aggressive on the mic screaming "fuck that Canadian nigga," taking an obvious shot at everyone's favorite Canadian, Drake. ItsBizkit was in attendance and not only captured the moment for everyone to see, but has become a meme on Twitter thanks to his hilarious reaction to what Flex had to say.

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTIC)
Q: Hi, What do you think the price target for CTIC will be in 1 year time? Regards, Karl
A:SmarTrend's technical analysis system looks at trend that are, on average, 30 days in total duration. So it is not feasible to make a one-year forward prediction. Having said that we issued an Uptrend alert on 3/23/09 at 15 cents and the stock has risen nicely since. The 200-day moving average is flat and if you are looking for higher prices longer term, you will need to see a sharper upslope in that long-term moving average. MACD is showing some negative divergences which may suggest some additional consolidation.

Which Grocery Stores Offer the Best Prices and Quality?
Last updated September 2018
Our ratings of local chains and stores report how each stacks up for price and quality. To compare prices, our researchers used a 154-item market basket of common items—and a lot of energy—to shop area options. To evaluate stores on quality of products and service, we surveyed area consumers. The results are reported in our ratings tables and summarized below.
Whole Foods appears to have lowered its prices since the Amazon buyout, but it remains one of the area's most expensive grocery chains.
When Amazon purchased Whole Foods last year, many consumers were excited by the prospect of paying Amazon-like prices for Whole Foods-quality products. But we're not there quite yet.
Whole Foods built a loyal following by offering high-quality produce, meat, prepared foods, and generic staples, evidenced by the very high ratings it gets for the produce and meat quality questions in our surveys of grocery store customers. Whole Foods' customers continue to rate it highly on our surveys for quality of fresh produce and meat—about the same as before the buyout.
But our price surveys always found that it charges whole-paycheck prices; in 2016, when we last shopped area stores, Whole Foods' prices were 33 percent higher than Safeway's, the area's largest chain. Although Amazon successfully spins up a lot of media attention whenever it announces a (usually minor) price cut at Whole Foods, it remains among the most expensive options among local chains and stores we shopped. But there has been some price movement: This time we found its overall prices were about 12 percent higher than the average prices at all stores we shopped, or 10 percent higher than Safeway's. And we found the prices it charges for its "365" store brand and independent brands (Whole Foods sells few national-brand products) remain more expensive than the least expensive options offered at the other chains and stores we surveyed in the Bay Area.
One reason Amazon bought Whole Foods was to obtain its grocery distribution network, and Amazon continues to expand its grocery delivery business. Click here for our report on grocery delivery services.
Whole Foods' Amazon Prime discounts don't yet add up to much.
Like most grocery stores, Whole Foods uses "loss leaders"—widely advertised discounts on a small number of items—to draw customers into stores (when calculating our price comparison scores, we use these sale prices). But there's a new twist: Amazon Prime members who provide their phone numbers at checkout automatically receive further discounts (they can also scan coupons available on Amazon's smartphone app). Prime members get an extra 10 percent off items already on sale at Whole Foods, plus special Prime-only discounts on a handful of other weekly special items.
While these perks sound great, we found so far that they aren't worth much. Compared to most other grocery stores, Whole Foods runs very few sales (the store we checked the week we wrote this only had 23 items on sale) and offered just five Prime-only specials. Sometimes its Prime-only deals are designed to garner a lot of attention: For Valentine's Day, it hyped that Prime members could buy two dozen roses for $19.99, instead of $24.99. But because Whole Foods and Amazon offer so few of these discounts, they won't save most shoppers much money.
Amazon likely isn't done making changes at Whole Foods. We'll continue to check in.
Grocery Outlet, WinCo, Walmart, FoodsCo, Foodmaxx, and Target were the price winners—where many families could save $1,350 to more than $3,000 per year.
Grocery Outlet, which offers a somewhat odd assortment of steeply discounted surplus national-brand products, offered prices that were about 30 percent lower than the average at all other stores we surveyed. WinCo was the other big saver, with prices 29 percent lower than average.
The next-best bets for low grocery prices in the Bay Area: Walmart and FoodsCo, each with prices 20 percent lower than average prices at all surveyed stores; FoodMaxx's were 15 percent lower; and Target's 13 percent lower.
For a family that spends $200 per week at the supermarket, a 13-to-30 percent price difference could save $1,350 to more than $3,000 a year.
Shoppers using Grocery Outlet will have to shop at more than once place.
Although Grocery Outlet wins for price, it offers few options compared to other grocery stores: The location we shopped carried only about one-fourth of the items in our market basket.
Compared to other large metro areas, the Bay Area has more low-priced grocery options.
For many years, shoppers in the Bay Area had very few low-priced grocery options. Although price leader WinCo's stores are not conveniently located for most Bay Area shoppers (at the time of this writing, its only stores were in Brentwood, Pittsburg, and Vacaville), and although you can't count on Grocery Outlet to stock everything you want to buy, most area shoppers live or work near at least one of these or another low-cost grocery option: Walmart operates more than 20 area stores that sell groceries; FoodsCo operates six area stores, including two in San Francisco; FoodMaxx has more than 20 area stores; and there are more than 40 Target stores offering fresh groceries.
All of the lowest-priced chains receive low ratings for quality (but so did more expensive Lucky and Safeway).
Lucky and Safeway rated toward the bottom of the list for "quality of fresh produce," "quality of meats," and "overall quality," and so did their much-lower-priced competitors. (While we received too few ratings for Target to report scores, it also received low scores in the other metro areas where Checkbook is published.)
Lucky's and Safeway's prices were about the same.
These two traditional powers are now owned by the same company. Within the Lucky and Safeway chains, we found little store-to-store price variation.
Berkeley Bowl rated high for fresh produce quality and also had very low produce prices.
While Berkeley Bowl's overall prices were about the same as the all-store average, its prices for fresh produce alone were among the lowest in the area—about 35 percent lower than average. And its scores for "quality of fresh produce" from our surveys of area customers were among the highest.
Similarly, United Markets gets very high ratings across the board from its customers and charges lower-than-average prices for produce.
Sprouts Farmers Market also offers very low produce prices.
Sprouts' produce prices were 21 percent lower than average, while earning far higher marks from its surveyed customers than the big chains for produce quality. For our entire market basket, Sprouts' prices were about 10 percent lower than the average at all other stores, which makes it one of the few chains to offer below-average prices for above-average quality.
Prices at the other area chains that rate highest for "quality of fresh produce," "quality of meats," and "overall quality"—including Draeger's, Lunardis, Piazza's Fine Foods, and United Markets—were substantially higher than average.
A few chains deliver higher quality than Lucky and Safeway while offering about the same prices.
Raley's and Nob Hill had prices about the same as those at Lucky and Safeway, but scored much higher on our surveys of customers on quality.
You can save by substituting store brands and generic products for national brands.
When we substituted cheaper generic and store brands for about one-sixth of the items in our price-shopping market basket at Lucky and Safeway, the total cost of the full market basket dropped by about five percent.
We also compared prices of organic produce and meat, checked out warehouse stores, looked at Trader Joe's, and examine local grocery delivery options.
Check out the other articles in our "Grocery Stores" category and our ratings tables for info on all the local grocery options, how we rated them, and tips on saving no matter where you shop.
