Ranches of Parker County
Driving west of town has been a big activity this summer. Usually with the 4x5 and the quest for the black and white landscape of the ranches and grasslands west of Fort Worth.
Here are some examples of the what I was chasing on those Saturdays. Both of these were taken in Parker County. despite the growth of the Dallas-Fort Worth area and even the dynamic growth in Parker County along I-20 it is still possible to find the old ranching Texas.
My goal had been to photograph the the open range and the cloudy skies we had. It was something I thought would be a great classic black and white image. The ones you see here were the test shots as I was looking for the right composition. They are really fine on their own but since I was using the big camera and black and white film I was really only sampling with the digital and then getting it perfected with the 4x5.
That is one of the nicer features about having both film and digital. I can go crazy with the digital trying out many possible compositions, angles, and lenses. With the film camera I work slow, think, and previsualize. The digital is great for that last part. I especially like walking around with my little point and shoot to scout with.
So on a day like these here, I might take 150 images with the digital and 4 with the film camera.
It works and it works well. I can work slow or fast. I can be random or all planned out. It is a good time to be a photographer!

Social change is in the language first, prisons gradually become Departments of Corrections (as if Walmart could run prisons and correct criminal's lives with therapeutic treatment or perhaps an economic solution) as they cannot be a penitentiary, where a penalty is due and some transphysical notion of "justice" served. In the Socratic dialogue the culture has come to be on the side that argues for a lack of justice in any essential, transcendent sense. Yet we still have to get along somehow, so subjective therapy and medicalization will have to do. Besides, that's probably scientific, which always leads to safety and nurture.
Bad: Obsolete; superseded by insane, mentally ill, sick.
Good: Obsolete; superseded by sane, mentally healthy, healthy
Ethics: Obsolete; superseded by the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
The therapeutic ethic: convict and punish the innocent, and call it mental hospitalization; diagnose and excuse the guilty, and call it the insanity defense.
(The Untamed Tongue: A Dissenting Dictionary
By Thomas Szasz :57)
Despite the tendency to venerate science there may never be a way to implement the effete Leftist dream of a Scientific State ruled by Mother Nature for the benefit of all. Perhaps one can model the impact of one pebble on a pond as its effect ripples out, yet the issues involved are more like measuring the impact of many pebbles of different sizes being dropped at different rates and all the ripples constantly changing each other. Change and flux is a part of Nature, in seven years you will not have the same body given the amount of cells dying and being replaced in your physical body right now. Yet here "you" are, and you may feel like pretty much the same person you were seven years ago. Maybe that is because you are in fact a person, with a mind and will capable of causing small ripples of cause and effect in Nature.
The Leftist mind does not seem to grasp that point. The other day I was answering a Leftist mind going into its typical murmurings about science and a littany of problems. And it is always a littany! This one was something like, "Leftists go with science all the time, from global warming to abstinence education it's all just scientific or somethin'. Hey, I bet giving teenagers pieces of plastic to keep their sex safely safe is like the theory of gravity too. Saftey first!" Is it scientific? The truly scientific answer may be much more Socratic than the scientism typical to the Left, as I noted to this mind murmuring about science and its littany of problems like abstinence education, there is the issue of condoms and seatbelts. That is because most persons are more like small versions of Aristotle's notion of an unmoved Mover and less like inanimate objects than the Left typically feels, so the primary issue for young people is ethical and not a piece of plastic.
But leave it to the Left to feeel otherwise in its touchy feely feelings. Most of their minds are probably smothered by now.

This unique omega 3-6-7-9 formula contains a blend of wild deep-sea sourced fish oils containing the omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA) in the TruTG™ form, the most important omega-6 fat (GLA from borage oil), the omega-7 fat palmitoleic acid and omega-9 fat oleic acid from certified virgin organic macadamia nut oil. EPA helps keep GLA metabolism in an anti-inflammatory mode. In addition, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays as many important roles in human health as EPA, along with promoting brain wellness. The West Clinic fish oil products carry the TruTG™ seal, which are delivered in the form found in nature and are of superior TG potency. The TruTG™ seal guarantees a minimum 90% triglyceride-bound (TG) omega-3 fish oils, a level that is 40% – 50% higher than the industry standard for most TG fish oil concentrate products. As always, our fish oils are molecularly distilled and filtered to ensure purity and to maximize the removal of heavy metals, pesticides, solvents, PCBs, and other contaminants.
Ultimate Omega Balance is composed of a unique blend of omega 3-6-7-9 essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs may very well be the single most important dietary supplement for promoting optimal health, as they support heart health, normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels, immune system function, brain health, joint mobility, beautiful skin and hair, and a healthy modulation of the inflammatory response.
The omega-3 fatty acids in this product are derived from fish oils in their natural triglyceride (TG) form —the same way they naturally occur in fish. Most mass-marketed fish oil supplements come in the ethyl ester (EE) form. Compared to the TG form, the EE form is less expensive and more convenient to produce, but is not as readily recognized, digested and assimilated by the body. In order to receive the maximum benefits from omega-3 fish oil supplementation, it is critical that these fats are provided to the body in the same form that they are found naturally in fish. It is only when consumed in this natural TG form that they are most easily digested and available for the body to use. This TG advantage is especially effective at promoting healthy omega-3 levels in the body.
This omega 3-6-7-9 formulation consists of:
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids
- Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) –beneficial for supporting a healthy brain, balanced emotions, skin health, normal cholesterol levels, and a proper inflammatory response
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) – supports proper brain development and function, visual acuity, maintenance of normal triglyceride levels and blood pressure, eye development and a healthy pregnancy for expectant mothers
• Omega-6 Fatty Acids
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) from the oil of borage seeds – essential for smooth and healthy skin, and female hormonal balance
• Omega-7 and Omega-9 Fatty Acids
- Stearidonic Acid and Oleic Acid from organic virgin macadamia nut oil – these oils are touted for their ability to support healthy hair, skin and nails, as well as a healthy immune system and balanced blood sugar levels
Additional Highlights
• Lipase – enzyme for enhanced digestion and absorption of fish oils
• Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols) – to prevent the fish oils from going rancid
• Fish oils are molecularly distilled and filtered to ensure purity and to maximize the removal of metals, pesticides, PCBs and other contaminants
Recommended Use
As a dietary supplement, take two softgels per day with meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Currently the Canvas Teacher app does not allow teachers to view, rearrange, edit, or publish their modules in a site. It would be great if, at a minimum, Teachers could view a site's modules like students can in the Student app (it is unclear why this is unavailable to staff). However, ideally the app would also let Teachers edit, rearrange, and publish their modules and the items within them.
Modules are a crucial part of Canvas. Our teaching staff use them to structure learning materials, assignments, quizzes, pages, and other information for students across the teaching period. It would be highly beneficial for them to be able to manage this remotely using their mobile devices.
Two example use cases:
1. If there is an item or module that is unpublished, and a student emails the teacher because they cannot access it, the mobile app should allow the teacher to go in and publish the materials quickly and easily (similarly, if there is something that should no longer be published to students, the teacher should be able to quickly amend this).
2. If an assignment or discussion needs to be moved from one module to another, so that it's clear to students when it needs to be completed, this should also be possible in a mobile application.

Research interests within neurosciences range from projects that undertake basic, laboratory-based medical research right through to highly translational, patient-centred research in the clinic or community.
A significant area of work involves exploring the normal processes of brain function and how these change in response to ageing and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease and glaucoma, to name a few.
Fundamental neurophysiology research complements this by examining the function of the central nervous system and its role in health and disease.
Our neurosurgery research is working towards better treatments for patients with specific neurological conditions in the brain and the spinal cord, as well as novel approaches to neuroimaging.
Other research within the faculty seeks to ensure the delivery of appropriate healthcare and health services to our ageing population, particularly for those living with degenerative neurological diseases or other neurological disorders.

Monday-Friday: 6.00 AM
U.S. shares recorded another weekly gain after two out of three major stock indices finished at all-time highs Friday. The S&P 500 added 0.21 percent to 2,602.42, closing at a record. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.32 percent to 6,889.16, also clinching an all-time high. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched 0.1 percent higher to 23,557.99, less than half a percentage point from its record finish at 23,590.83. For the week, the S&P 500 and the Dow both posted a weekly gain of 0.9%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.6 percent.
By contrast, the U.S. dollar hit its lowest since Sept. 25 on Friday and marked its third weekly loss in a row on Friday, weighed down by concerns that the Federal Reserve may be hesitant to deliver further interest-rate increases next year due to stubbornly low inflation. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index lost 0.5% to 92.781, a two-month low. While a rate hike in December is still almost fully priced in, investors pared back expectations for further rate hikes in 2018, which puts pressure on the dollar.
On the data front, a pair of surveys of American companies showed that domestic businesses grew in November at the slowest pace in four months. Indeed, the Markit flash manufacturing PMI dropped to 53.8 from 54.6, while the flash services PMI edged lower to 54.3 from 54.6.
In the week ahead, market participants will focus on comments from a number of Federal Reserve speakers, including Fed Chair Janet Yellen testifies on the economy on Capitol Hill, before the Joint Economic Committee on Wednesday. One day before, Fed governor Jerome Powell, selected by President Donald Trump as the next Fed chair, is scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee for his confirmation hearing.
U.S. second estimate of GDP growth for the third quarter will be released on Wenesday amidst expectations calling for a small upward revision from 3.0% to 3.2%.
After Fed's policymakers' speeches, the Commerce Department is due to publish data personal income and consumer spending for October, which include the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) inflation data, the Fed's preferred metric for inflation on Thursday. Analysts expect the report to show U.S. core PCE price index advanced by 0.2% last month, which would send the index 1.4% higher on an annualized basis.
This week's calendar also features reports on ISM manufacturing sector growth, CB consumer confidence, new home sales, pending home sales and monthly auto sales
Turning to the euro, the single currency added nearly 0.7 percent on Wednesday to trade at as high as $1.1932 – the strongest level since September 22. For the week, the common currency jumped 1.14%, its second consecutive weekly gain of more than 1%.
Next week, the euro zone will publish flash inflation figures for November on Thursday, which is forecast to rise 1.6 percent following an increase of 1.4% in October. The core figure, which strips out volatile energy and food prices, is anticipated to increase by 1.0% from volatile energy and food prices. CPI reports from Germany, France, Italy and Spain will also be on the agenda.
In China, the Federation of Logistics and Purchasing is to release data on November manufacturing sector activity on Thursday with expectations for a modest downtick to 51.5 from a reading of 51.6 in October. Meanwhile, the Caixin manufacturing index, which focuses more on small and mid-sized firms, is due on Friday and is expected to dip by 0.1 points to 50.9.
U.S. oil prices finished at a 2½-year high in an abbreviated session on Friday. While West Texas Intermediate crude futures for January delivery rose 1.64 percent to $58.95 a barrel, settling at levels not seen since the summer of 2015, Brent futures added 0.28% to trade at $63.73. Both global crude oil benchmarks logged four consecutive weekly gains.
Next week, Oil ministers from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major producing countries will meet in Vienna on Thursday to decide whether to extend their current production agreement beyond a March 2018 deadline.
Market analysts forecast that the oil cartel would extend output cuts for a further nine months until the end of next year.

So, the basic problem is that we have a checkBox, switch, button or any object that we need to capture the click event for and keep some state information about that object. I want to be able to click the object, save its state and not impact the rest of the items in the row.
I also need a way to find out which items are selected, since multiple items could be selected and it is the object that is selected not the row.
The first example is pretty straight forward, but then there are additional methods that I have added as a possible way to solve additional problems that come up when working with tables and objects in rows
In the table above, we are able to find the child elements because we know where we put it; also there is only one element.
If there are multiple elements, one solution is to provide ids and then use a function like the one below to iterate through the child objects and find the one you are looking for.
Another thing that might come in handy is a method for finding which elements are selected

Choosing the Right Wooden Flute for You
For the second time, here is a question submitted by Bill Goelz. To paraphrase, is it better to stick with one flute or play a mix of several flutes? For the sake of full disclosure, I will say that one of the flutes that Bill plays is a Skip Healy flute, not that that would influence my opinion or anything...heh, heh, heh.

What is Lapita? This question, as many have noted, continuing to stimulate debate amongst those who are interested in the archaeology of Oceania. Although this student is not qualified to discuss many of the issues raised (particularly linguistics), an attempt will be made to address this question. There is no doubt something (temporal horizon, cultural phenomena etc) is represented by the artefacts associated with the distinctive pottery known as Lapita.
It seems to this student that Lapita should be addressed as an archaeological culture rather than as an ethnic culture representing a homogenous group of people. In the first instance, what is known about Lapita will be outlined. The question of whether Lapita is more than just pots will be discussed before the criticisms of Terrell (1989) are reviewed. Finally the theories of Lapita origin will be discussed in an attempt to show that not only is Lapita more than just pots, but also the peoples who created the pots where more that just Lapita.

The archaeological culture known as Lapita, distinguished by dentated-stamped decorated ceramics (Ambrose 1997), as depicted in Figure 1and 2, extended 'down the Melanesian island chain from New Guinea to Tonga' (Allen 1996:11). Kirch noted that the spatial extent of Lapita is some four thousand kilometres 'as the frigate bird flies' (1996:61). This is illustrated in Figure 3. The temporal dimensions of Lapita, determined through radiocarbon (C14) dating, began around three and a half thousand years ago (i.e. 1500 B.C), lasted about one millennia and ended around two and a half thousand years ago (i.e. 500 B. C.)(Kirch 1996). The name Lapita comes from the first excavated site found to contain the distinctive ceramic, this was in New Caledonia (Allen 1996). Figure 1. Lapita Pottery (Source Bellwood 1979: 246)
The temporal and spatial homogeneity of sites containing this pottery led archaeologists to classify the sites as belonging to one culture, albeit an archaeological culture. Figure 2. Dentated-Stamped Ceramic (Source Ambrose 1997: 528) Irwin notes 'Lapita pottery is a conspicuous element of integration among dispersed communities' (1992:211). Although, it is not the only element common to these dispersed archaeological sites. Kirch suggests 'Lapita material culture was rich and complex' (1996: 60). The two to three thousand year old sites associated with Lapita pottery also contain shell tools and jewellery (Allen 1996), wood-working adzes made of stone (Kirch 1996), as well as plant remains associated with a shared subsistence strategy. It is also suggested from the distribution of obsidian that Lapita culture commanded an advanced voyaging technology for inter-regional exchange (Green 2000). This suit of traits directs archaeologists to distinguish Lapita as a cultural complex. It is argued that Lapita is an archaeological, not ethnological, culture.
Figure 3. Map of the western Pacific showing the distribution of Lapita sites (Source The Metropolitan Museum of Art 2004) Terrell believes that the search for an 'ethnically exclusive' (1989: 625) Lapita group is misguided. Irwin supports this view, stating 'Lapita is an uncertain and variable archaeological category…it does not begin to approach an ethnic category' (1992: 34).Terrell suggests that there is no single archaeological indicator of Lapita.
He sites Gosden and associates and Bellwood & Koon, when he states that Lapita sites are found without pottery and decorated pottery is found that is not Lapita. Hodder suggests 'material culture has to be understood both as part of an aesthetic tradition and as part of an ideology within strategies of domination' (1991: 65) and not as an indicator of ethnicity. Terrell also suggests there is 'distrust of the family-tree model' of the Austronesian language and its 'assumptions about linguistic isolation' (1989: 624). The suggestion that there is no need to approach 'Lapita [as] a single human and social phenomenon hermetically-sealed off' (Terrell 1989: 625) seems not only justified but also effective. As a variable category of aesthetic traditions and strategies of domination not Hermetically-sealed off or isolated, Lapita seems anything but ethnic.
Terrell and Welsh (1997) have suggested that Lapita is approached by archaeologists from two directions.. Initially it was argued that Lapita originated in Island Southeast Asia and was carried east by Austronesian speaking horticulturists with advanced sailing technology. Although Allen suggests 'it is no longer apparent in the archaeological evidence that we need invoke any significant migration to explain Lapita sites' (1996: 12). The other approach is island Melanesian origin. As Ambrose notes 'there appears to be no precursor pottery bearing the same dente-stamp technique to the west of Bismarck Archipelago' (1997: 526).
Terrell & Welsh state there is 'insufficient evidence in both cases' (1997: 563). Terrell cautions that rarely if ever can archaeologists 'reduce the complexities they deal with down to A or B must be true hypotheses' (2000: 333). Terrell & Welsh (1997) argue for a compromise between the Asian and Melanesian models of Lapita. They support Irwin's (1992) "voyaging corridor" model of Lapita. This seems reasonable when it is considered that 'Lapita is an uncertain category…conspicuously associated with the settlement of a large part of the world … [but] being Lapita did not always mean the same thing' (Irwin 1992: 210). Terrell ; Welsh's discussion is summarised in Table 1.
Table 1. Key Points in Three Lapita Models (Terrell & Welsh 1997) It has been noted that 'Melanesia, in ethnographic and late prehistoric times, is characterised by great diversity… [and] we cannot exclude diversity in Lapita' (Irwin 1992:34). Greater Australia (Suhal), the islands of Southeast Asia and near Oceania have been peopled for some thirty thousand years before the appearance of Lapita (Allen 1996, Gosden 1993, Irwin 1992, Kirch 1996).
This seems to allow ample time for diversification and as Irwin notes, the people of this region had some '25,000 years in which to mess about in boats' (1992:31). It has been suggested that the duration of occupation of the abovementioned region allowed 'shifting fields of contact to develop and a range of different participants to be involved' (Irwin 1992: 31). With this in mind one wonders what purpose the search for a Lapita homeland or ethnicity serves.
On initial inspection of Green's (2000) article this student was under the impression that the author was arguing for a Lapita homeland in the Bismarck Archipelago. On further consideration of the 'Triple-I' (Integration, Intrusion and Innovation) model of Lapita (Green 2000: 372) it is contended that Green is arguing, not for an ethnic Lapita origin, but for a spatial origin in the Bismarck Archipelago.
So that The 'triple-I' model appears to be not incompatible but actually complimentary to the 'voyaging corridor' model of Terrell ; Walsh (1997) and Irwin (1992) as noted by Green (2000: 373). Green appears to be arguing for the origin of Lapita to be a spatial and temporal event, hence not an ethnic phenomenon. Integration and intrusion in the Bismarck Archipelago, combined with the innovation of the distinctive dentated-stamped designs, produced the archaeological cultural complex known as Lapita.
That the peoples of remote Oceania speak languages of the Austronesian family and the language family has its origin in Asia seems generally accepted. This suggests there must have been some form of contact between the two regions. Green (2000) and others argue that certain domesticates, such as pigs, dogs and chickens originated in Asia. It seems clear that for intrusion of a cultural trait to occur in the region being discussed voyaging is needed. It seems that both the 'Triple-I' and the 'voyaging corridor' models argue for interaction 'involving interchange between new arrivals and incumbent Melanesians' (Allen 1996: 12).
Green (2000) outlines quit clearly the data supporting integration or continuity within the Bismarck Archipelago and one wonders if Terrell ; Walsh (1997) are not 'talking past' (Terrell 1989: 623) Green when defining integration as Melanesian. However Terrell could just be one of those academics that 'are by nature a quarrelsome lot' (Terrell 1989: 623, also see Terrell 2000). Green's ideas of integration and intrusion seems to be supported by Terrell & Welsch's conclusion that the; ornate Lapita style found in the Bismarck Archipelago and farther to the east in the pacific was only one of several related, but not identical, early styles in Irwin's voyaging corridor between Asia and Bismarck Archipelago (1997: 560-561)
An examination of Green's definition of innovation as 'something arising which has no direct antecedents' (2000:373) would be questioned with reference to Basalla's (1988) contention that technological change is more evolutionary then revolutionary. For the purpose of this discussion it is suggested that integration and intrusion in a voyaging corridor is a productive preparatory hypothesis with which to test archaeological data. But it must be remembered that 'homogeneity and diversity are not only explained by different lengths of settlement, but also by a whole set of cultural mechanisms' (Sand et al 2002:506 emphasis added). It is the cultural mechanisms, which form the interacting spheres (Terrell & Welsh 1997) where intrusion and integration (Green 2000) occur in Irwin's (1992) voyaging corridor, that are of most interest.
The literature does not give the impression that there is any contention to the assertion that Lapita pottery makes its earliest appearance in the Bismarck Archipelago. There does however seem to be contention as to the origin of Lapita peoples. It has been suggested that Terrell (1989) is justified in his caution against seeking an ethnic origin for Lapita. It has been argued that Green has not only presented a strong case for his Triple-I model of Lapita but has also demonstrated a productive approach to the spatial and temporal phenomena that is the archaeological cultural complex know as Lapita. Although, this paper makes no attempt to suggest an origin for the Lapita peoples, it is additionally argued that, due to the spatial and temporal extent of Lapita, Archaeologists studying this region should approach Lapita as an archaeological culture complex. However they should remember that the people of this region and time where more than just Lapita.

95 images starring Anaïs
Back in 2006 : Anaïs lived a long session enclosed into the vacbed while we shot images and videos ! She always loved new games and latex … vacuum bed is perfect to discover new sensations ! We started with a non-polished latex before to make it shiny with some glide. I loved to watch her fingers moving under the latex sheet and I must say Anaïs perfectly played the game trying to change her position inside the vacbed. Regularly, we turned off the vacuum cleaner to change her posture … that day, we did a full length movie about her trip in the exciting world of total enclosure but I think you remember some videos I blogged in the past. Finally, Anaïs spent two hours inside the bed … that's a lot and enough to feel yourself a bit strange. Your body and your mind loose usual reference points inside the bed … it's a little bit like diving even if the pressure is less important. But, because she wanted to live a unique experience, I increased her challenge using ice cubes : Anaïs didn't love the cold feeling but you know how the girls are … they always complain about the lack of heat. Anyway, I had something to warm up Anaïs : for the second time, she lived a magic wand session and that picture series has been the first one featuring the Hitachi Vibrator on Captive Culture. I gave no break to Anaïs and she lived several vibrator attacks before to be released … the whole session was great for all of us. It was really nice to torture Anaïs and some vacbed pictures are really impressive : watching Anaïs breathing under latex was pretty magic. I hope you'll like it too. As you noticed, I didn't update the blog since a while. My mother died three weeks ago and I needed a break. One important page of my life has been turned but I'm back online now.

On July 29th at 9:34am my son, Landon William Farrell was born. From the moment I saw him I loved him. So much in fact that I haven't been able to keep myself from calling him all kinds of endearing names that seem to flow naturally from my intense affections for him. At this point he has been referred to as Angel-face, Buddy-man, My-Precious-Boy, Precious-Angel-Man, Lando-pants, Lando-man, Angel-boy…and the list goes on!
As my son, Landon doesn't have to do anything to earn my affections. As a Father I freely give him my love with no strings attached. I look forward to the end of every work day when I get to go home and spend time with him. Sometimes we will sit outside and watch the birds in the trees, sometimes we sit on the couch and tease "Nala" (Mommy's cat), other times he gets strapped to my chest and we go for walks around the cul-de-sac. To me it really doesn't matter what we do because I just enjoy our "father-son" time! As I speak to him he learns to recognize the sound of my voice, as we spend time together he get's to know me as his father.
As adopted sons and daughters of God, we have a Father that longs for relationship with us! He too wants "Father-son" or "Father-Daughter" time with his children! From the moment we make a decision for Christ "The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Romans 8:16). As our Father He wants to comfort us when we are hurting, and to give us peace and calm our fears. As we spend time with Him we get to know His voice and come to trust in his faithfulness as our Father. The key to it all is the quality time spent together!
Are you setting aside time to be alone with Him, to tell Him everything that's on your heart? Are you taking time to listen to what he has to say to you? I would challenge us all to set aside time as often as we can to speak to Him be in His Word and to get to know the sound of His voice.

There will always be those who think we lack intelligence by believing something we can't see, but the evidence is all around us. Take a look at the beauty and majesty of this world. Think of what it looked like before sin corrupted it. See the craftsmanship of God in the birth of a new child – each finger and toe perfectly designed – each body part having a purpose. Look at the intelligence of humanity. Our minds didn't just evolve from some big bang that occurred millions of years ago. God planted that into our brains to separate us from the animals. Observe the glory of each bit of vegetation – how seeds when nurtured and protected grow into something beautiful and useful. The mathematical design of life is so complex we can't even begin to understand every facet of it.
By not understanding, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. When we're troubled by those who don't share our beliefs, we shouldn't become angry with them or try to engage them in arguments. The only thing that will lead to is frustration and defeat. If they don't accept what we believe, nothing we say or do is going to change that. Their minds are already made up. What we can do is pray for them and care about them. Our prayers should include our love for them and our desire that they someday will understand that God is the only truth that exists in a world of darkness.
We base our beliefs totally on faith. Faith is believing something that we don't understand but still know it's true. It's a concept that isn't much known in our world. We need something to back up our reasoning. God doesn't need explanation. He just is and the evidence of His existence is all around us. We simply need to look for it. It isn't complicated, and that drives intellectuals crazy.

From the looks of this (the 'lines' in the pictures with the desktop) the card has not enough bandwidth for the DAC/CRTC accessing the graphics ram by default.
The trouble with the native resolution not coming up or not being selectable has something todo with EDID. Possibly your monitor does not report correctly, or possibly the I2C bus wiring for some ports are not known correctly to the driver.
It would be interesting to see the accelerant's own log for this. You can enable full logging via a config file called nvidia.settings. The log will get created in your home folder, something like nv.xxx.0.log (xxx being the /dev/graphics/ name of the driver).
if you can't find the config info you are looking for have a look at my original driver pages here: http://rudolfs-place.nl/BeOS/NVdriver/setinst.html#settings
comment:2 by , 2 years ago
This NVidia graphics chipset is integrated on the motherboard. Normally this computer serves as my HTPC, so it means pulling it out, swapping HDD and installing Haiku. I'm happy to do it if there's some chance it helps further NVidia graphics support for this chipset. I'll post results as per your instructions within the week.
comment:3 by , 2 years ago
Yes, I suspected as much, the gfx being integrated. That's also a bit of a problem since I cannot get my hands on such a thing..
Anyhow, if you have enough info to use the settings file and fetch the logfile then this at least gives us a bit more info. If for some reason you cannot get it going please install the driver into the non-system way as I also describe on my pages. Since Haiku has got this protection scheme in place I am kind of in trouble fiddling with the os in a way I can easily work on the drivers for instance..
If your monitor is part of the problem then there's a trick way around that using one of the possible settings in the driver. For the memory problem I need to have a new look at the linux opensource drivers to see if I can find a fix there for your type of card. BTW: the type of system memory used on your mainboard, could that have influence? By that I mean: can you select part of it as display memory for the gfx, trough the BIOS? If so, a faster type might just have some influence..
comment:4 by , 2 years ago
Is there any way to enable logging with the Nvidia driver that comes with Haiku, or must I use the old driver found on your webpage? I've tried both, but neither creates a log. I've also tried renaming the settings file from nv.config to nvidia.config. Any suggestions?
comment:5 by , 2 years ago
Hi, I just tested it on my fresh installed very recent Haiku hybrid image. Works perfectly. Just create a textfile called nvidia.settings in your ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/ folder. It needs just one single activated line for you at this moment: logmask 0xffffffff
Reboot, grab the new file created in your home folder called something like: nvidia.10de_0140_010000.0.log And post it here. Thank you :)

That worked. The log is attached.

From the log I see two problems that need to be solved:
- I2C buses are not found/configured correctly (no EDID readable therefore)
- CAS RAM access errors, indeed detected by the driver, tuning is needed, but the needed code is unknown.
I'll try to find info in the/a linux project for these problems. Last time I looked (is some time ago indeed..) this was not yet known. I'll get back to you on this. Thanks for the log!
comment:8 by , 2 years ago
Thanks for the prompt reply. I'll be returning that computer to HTPC service, but can pull it again for testing once you think you might have a solution in hand. Whatever I can do to help further hardware support for Haiku.
comment:9 by , 17 months ago
We have a general GF 61xx card problem, if I remember correctly,this is a card-type which is integrated on the mainboard of systems. I need such a mainboard to be able to test this card type. Which did not happen yet unfortunately.
The GF61x0 problem is the last remaining item which should be fixed in the existing nVidia Haiku driver.

HMRC electronic filing of company accounts
I have transferred my properties into a Ltd company owning 3 properties and managing 10 others on behalf of friends and family. I also carry out my own maintenance and charge out for maintenance that I do for others. In previous years I simply produced my own accounts on excel spreadsheets and submitted under my own personal tax return.
Looking now on HMRC to file "company" accounts I assumed I could do so using HMRC own filing however property rental income is limited to £5200 per year so there it directs you to utilise an accountant or recommends you to use a software package approved by HMRC with a list of some 30+ providers.
My question is ...does anyone have any advise on which one to use. I have already produced my accounts on excel but now need an "easy" to use package to convert / re input what I have done so that I can electronically file.
Thanks in advance

Tax Revenues Jump 13% To Record High In April — When Will Dems Admit They Were Wrong About Trump's Tax Cuts?
The federal government collected far more taxes this April than it did a year ago, despite the "budget busting" Trump tax cuts. So, we'll ask again: Are the tax cuts paying for themselves?
According to the latest monthly report from the Congressional Budget Office, revenues in April totaled $515 billion — a 13% increase over last April and an all-time high for the month.
For the current 2018 fiscal year, which started last October, revenues are $83 billion higher than they were the year before — an increase of 4.3%. That's a faster rate of growth than occurred during President Obama's last years in office. (See nearby chart.)
Individual taxes, the CBO report says, are up 11.5% so far this fiscal year, and payroll taxes are up 2.8%. Both are signs of a healthy labor market, which is creating more jobs, higher wages and, as a result, more tax revenues. Those gains, the CBO says, more than offset the 22% decline in corporate income taxes.
In other words, in a fiscal year that's seven months old (four of which were after the tax cuts went into effect), federal revenues are higher than ever.
Or, to put it another way, it looks like those of us who predicted the pro-growth tax cuts would at least partially pay for themselves through increased economic growth were correct.

Victorian Era Advice on Domestic Etiquette and Duties
Etiquette is a comprehensive term, and its observances are nowhere more to be desired than in the domestic circle.
If husbands and wives, generally, would render each other half of the little attentions they lavished upon each other before marriage, their mutual happiness would be more than doubled.
A wife should never let her husband have cause to complain that she is more agreeable abroad than at home, nor see her negligent of dress and manners at home when it is the reverse in company.
It is not in good taste for a husband and wife to call each other by endearing names in the presence of others.
A man has no right whatever to open his wife's mail, but a woman should not receive any letters that she would not be willing that her husband should see.
If, unhappily, any misunderstandings or annoyances occur between husband and wife, it is ill-bred and unjust for either to repeat them to a third person.
Faithful unto death in all things should be the motto of both husband and wife; and forbearance with each other's peculiarities, their never-ending effort to attain.
If a girl discovers very soon after her marriage that she has made a mistake, it is wisest for her to make the best of it; she should look for all that is good in her husband and try to forget that which she dislikes.
There are times when a legal separation is necessary, but when people marry, they marry for better or for worse, and if, unfortunately, it should be for worse, even that does not release them from the solemn vows which they have taken. — Arthur Martine, 1854

Practice Group Report
Our main activity for this month's Practice Group revolved around 'metaphor maps'.
Working in threes, with a facilitator, client and observer in each group, the facilitator used Clean Language to help the client model "When I'm _________ at my best, that's like what?" The _________ could be 'learning', 'working', 'coaching', 'parenting', 'cycling'... whatever the client chose. After 20 minutes, the client was asked to draw a 'metaphor map' to represent their model, and the facilitator and observer also had a go at drawing a map of the client's model. The three pictures were then compared, allowing the facilitator and observer to see how closely they had managed to model what was going on from the client's viewpoint.
In some cases, the similarities between the three maps was remarkable. In other cases it was less obvious, but in most cases some resemblance could be seen. In some groups, there was time for more facilitation after the maps had been drawn and it became clear how useful it was for both client and facilitator to have the drawing. Additional information often became available through this medium, which could then be developed through further questioning. Some group members said they would use this idea and ask clients to draw their maps part way through a session.
Other observations included:
- It was quite fun
- Having an intention to draw (as the facilitator) helps you focus on getting and developing metaphors (rather than conceptual content)
- It helps you see what assumptions you are making
- The way people draw is part of the modelling process
It is important to point out that this was a practice group activity: in a regular client session, if the facilitator were to draw a map of any kind, they would not show this to the client, as this would not be clean.
Thank you to everyone who came along for your participation, your contributions and insights.

Russian researchers and scientists are capable of creating breakthrough technologies. The question is whether businesses are ready to embrace them
This September, a new academic year has begun and, with the start of the new school year, traditional discussions on the role of education and universities in Russia have once again resumed.
It has been talked a lot whether higher education institutions should be involved in training and educating students or they should instead take it to a higher level and turn into the center of gravity, the one which shapes scientific and cultural environment. The vast majority of developed countries has decided on the matter a long time ago. For example, in Germany, where a little less than 100 billion euros per year are allocated to scientific research activities and two thirds of this amount are provided by the industry and enterprises, scientific researchers mainly work at the universities. At the same time, several independent research organisations exist and dozens of institutes are members of those organisations.
This system has deep historical roots. For example, the world's oldest mining institution - Freiberg University of Mining and Technology - was founded in 1765 in Saxony. The initial purpose was to improve the efficiency of silver (as well as some other metals) extraction from the deposits located at the Ore Mountains. Nonetheless, even now, when the only functioning mine serves a purpose of educating students, the University still remains a major scientific center. For instance, research in the field of high alloys is carried out here, in the Freiberg Mining Academy. The results of university-based research are introduced into production and, thanks to them, auto groups as BMW or Land Rover replace some of the components of vehicle bodies with the lightweight versions, which are however more robust, rigid and resistant to corrosion.
At the Technical University of Munich (TUM), which turned 150 last year, scientists are taking part in a wide range of studies. For example, the Institute for Cognitive Systems, created on the base of TUM, deals with research at the intersection of neuroscience and robotics. One of their goals is to provide paraplegic people with an opportunity to walk with the help of an exoskeleton.
As a matter of fact, TUM has introduced a number of breakthrough technologies and made numerous discoveries throughout its history. In 1958, post-graduate student Rudolf Mössbauer, while writing his PhD dissertation, discovered a physical phenomenon - later called nuclear gamma resonance or Mössbauer effect. It involves the resonant and recoil-free emission and absorption of gamma radiation by atomic nuclei bound in a solid. Three years later, Mössbauer was awarded with the Nobel prize for this discovery, and innovative solutions developed with the use of gamma resonance are still in use today.
What about Russia though? Russian scientists are also working on creating innovations. However, unlike their foreign colleagues, they are facing a lot more difficulties in attempts to introduce their findings into production.
As Vladimir Bazhin, Vice Rector for Science and Innovation, St. Petersburg Mining University, explains, "In Germany, the US, the UK, as well as in other developed countries, large-scale companies are strongly tied to the universities. The State governs these relations and provides financing, together with manufacturers. In Russia, this connection is broken or does not exist at all. For this reason, commercial development of innovative solutions in our country is seriously harmed."
Scientists of the Mining University are conducting applied research in various fields. They are working at increasing oil recovery rate and improving the efficiency of transportation of hydrocarbons at the harsh conditions of the Arctic region. They are developing new technologies that simplify processing and exploration works, including those ones done at the Arctic shelf areas. Mining University specialists are also designing various solutions that affect key performance indicators of mining and mineral companies.
According to Vladimir Litvinenko, Rector of the Mining University, "Universities are the centres that shape scientific environment, regardless of the country. Let us take America as an example - the highest Nobel prize winning country. Most of the Nobel laureates living there are working at the universities. It does not, however, mean that they are reading lectures there or participating in the educational process by any other means. Not in any way. They are working in the laboratories. They are creating new knowledge there, which is a basis for the development of economies of the world's leading States."
The United Nations holds a similar opinion, which is hardly a surprise, as the International Center of Competence in Mining Education under the auspices of UNESCO was established at the premises of the Mining University. The newly opened center aims to bring together world's leading universities and corporations in order to make mineral resources sector more efficient on a global scale.
Ratification of the Center and first meeting of the Board of Governors took place a short while ago. Despite that, Belarusian National Technical University and Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology have already signed an agreement on cooperation with the Competence Center, as the governments of respective countries approved this decision. In his speech, Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, also noted the importance of scientific cooperation with Finland.
As noted by the President of Russian Federation,"Cooperation between Russia and Finland is advancing to a new level, both in the areas of science and education. In accordance with the agreement between St. Petersburg Mining University and LUT Univeristy, Russian and Finnish scientists and researchers will work together on developing innovations in the field of extraction, processing and transportation of natural resources."
Nikolai Tskhadaya, President of Ukhta State Technical University (USTU), shares Vladimir Litvinenko's opinion. He also believes that higher educational institutions should focus on developing scientific and cultural environment.
According to the words of the President of USTU, "As long as we are talking about mining education, Russia is obviously a leader. The fact that International Center of Competence in Mining Education was established here, at the Mining University, only confirms my words. Russia is becoming a global innovative hub and our country will be the one of those who influences decisions and develops competency standards in mining in the XXI century."

On the 24th September, nine of us will be taking part in Tough Mudder. What started off as a general conversation soon escalated and before we knew it the tickets were booked and the trainers were on.
Tough Mudder is turning five this year and so far the event has already had 2.5 million participants. Although we are sure that we will not be joining the 10,000 people that have Tough Mudder tattoos, we are looking forward to taking on the challenge. The event is a 10 to 12-mile mud and obstacle course that is going to push us to our limits both physically and mentally. According to the Tough Mudder team, we need stamina, mental grit and strength; we probably should have done a little more research into what we were signing ourselves up for but I'm sure we are tough enough!
Our chosen charity is Children with Special Needs Foundation. They aim to support those that need funds for equipment, tuition and holidays as well as providing care for children with special needs. This includes those with disability and those that have a special talent that would not be fulfilled without help. They do all of this within our local area of Surrey, East Berkshire and North Hampshire and we are very proud to be able to support them.
The team that will be taking part are:
Kenzie – Senior Account Executive
Damian – Purchasing Manager
Colin – Financial Controller
Stef – Studio Manager
Steph – Senior Account Executive
Jason – Head of Digital
Matt – Creative Director
Nick P – Junior Creative Artworker
Peter – Business Development Director
As you can see we have come from all areas of the business and are very much looking forward to dragging each other through the mud and occasionally helping one another over the obstacles and apparently being electrocuted! For those eagle-eyed among us, you'll notice we had to substitute in two for those that weren't available for the photo!
If you would like to support us by donating to our fundraising page or by sharing our story on your social media that would be very much appreciated!

Bruno Malfacine – dangerous on the mats, dangerous in the cage.
The ten-time IBJJF World Champion, Malfacine is stepping back into the cage as the latest name announced for Brave 16 as the promotion gets set to head back to Abu Dhabi.
On top of their pending Morocco show next weekend, the promotion announced earlier this week they will have a further seven outings in 2018.
Brave 16 heads for the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi on Saturday 21 September.
The return of Bruno Malfacine
The decorated jiu-jitsu player crossed into the pro MMA ranks this time last year, picking up a first round armbar win over fellow newcomer Ramarios Boaes. He followed that up with a win on his Brave debut this past April , again collecting a first round armbar win, this time over Rafael Pereira (5-2).
Malfacine is working up his MMA game at ATT / American Top Team, based out of Coconut Creek, Florida.
When he steps back into the cage for his third pro bout this September, he'll be back in flyweight division alongside the likes of Sean Santella, Velimurad Alkhasov and IMMAF medalist, Hussain Ayyad.
"Happy and excited to return to this incredible country, now inside the octagon," said Malfacine through social media this week.
"I'll do my best to give the whole Jiu-jitsu community and the crowd with a great show. See you soon!"

Quetta: Two persons were gunned down on Saturday in Kirani Road, New Hazara Town. The dead bodies of Muhammad Musa and Muhammad Hanif, also known as Rehmat, were found in the construction site of a house in Munawar Colony in New Hazara Town.
The reason behind the murders is said to be disputes on property rights. The victims are alleged to have built the house on land that was also claimed by a Baloch individual. The dispute on the land escalated in the murder.
Police has registered case against unidentified persons. The heirs of assassinated persons were outraged and blocked Brewery Road in front of the Bolan Medical College. They were chanting slogans demanding from the concerned authorities to immediately arrest the perpetrators.

A Special Kind of Mother
Mother's Day is traditionally a beautiful day of celebrating the women who have loved us from our beginnings. Today, I want to celebrate a specific group of mothers – Foster Mothers. These women are those who may not have given birth to the children in their homes – are often not related to the children in any way — and yet love and care for children who may have experienced the worst the world has to offer prior to coming into the care of foster families.
While many believe foster parents are doing it for the money, trying to "steal" children from their families or gain access to vulnerable children to exploit, it is my experience that the individuals who open their hearts and homes to children in need of love and care do so because they believe in the cause.
To celebrate these women, I wanted to raise awareness of the highs and lows experienced by them. I spoke with a few mothers who are licensed in West Virginia by the National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP). These are a few of the things they want everyone to know.
∫ They DO get attached to the children.
A common refrain from those outside of the foster care system as to why they are unable to become a foster parent, is "I couldn't give the child back," or even "I would be too attached to the child."
The reality of it is that foster parents do become attached to the children in their homes. In fact, this is what is SUPPOSED to happen. The purpose of placing children in families, as opposed to institutions, is to provide a positive, stable, caring family environment while their own family is unable to. One where the child can thrive in school, participate in community activities, and live as part of a family. More than one foster mother I spoke to told me she felt as though the children were hers the moment they entered her care.
As to giving children back, it is a known possibility. Hopefully, the court system has been thorough in determining the children will be safe upon return to their parents or other family members prior to reunification. This is also a process that usually takes place over a period of time, rather than a quick decision, though exceptions have occurred. It can be difficult to say goodbye to a now beloved member of the family. However, it's not always a permanent goodbye – foster parents sometimes have the ability to stay in contact with the children they cared for and forge positive relationships with those now responsible for the welfare and safety of those children. Foster parents' only "special" quality is a willingness to go through the process of attachment and separation for the benefit of the children involved, despite the personal sacrifice.
∫ They don't "do it for the money."
The money isn't that great, and it's too difficult a job. This is a work of heart, not money. Money paid to foster families is a stipend intended to offset the expense of caring for the child; paying for clothes, diapers, supplies, extra food, etc. The foster moms I know are passionate about advocating for the children in their care and go out of their way to provide activities, experiences and belongings beyond that which is covered by the stipend issued by the state.
∫ The kids aren't "broken."
Children in foster care have been through a trauma; they have been in a situation of danger of imminent danger AND the removal from all that is familiar to be placed in a home with complete strangers. They have feelings about all of this, but children are not very good at express themselves with words. So they use their behavior to tell us what they lack the words to articulate. These behaviors manifest in a number of ways, but resources are available for the issues being faced. These can include physical therapies, medical treatments, and counseling. As wards of the state, foster parents are not responsible to pay for services for these children in order to get the assistance needed.
In addition, most children in foster care are not only open to love and affection, they desperately crave it. Like all children, they want to be loved and give love to those who are important to them. Negative behavior isn't the only side of any child, biological or foster.
∫ They have thought about quitting.
This role is a difficult one, full of heartbreak, stress and sometimes lacking in support from friends and family. At some point, every foster parent has evaluated the pros and cons of the path they have been walking to determine if it is, indeed worth the time and effort required. It could be a negative experience with a child or the outcome of a particular case. It could be a personal life change that makes it difficult to make space for another family member. Some do quit, even if it's just for a time. But even those who have quit say the same thing:
∫ It's worth it!
Depsite the difficulties, it is worth it to give children who have gone through so much, an opportunity to belong to a family.
Foster mothers are not a lesser class of moms; in fact, I believe they are deserving of an extra celebration as they forge ahead with love and purpose to aid our community's most vulnerable children. So if you know any foster moms this Mother's Day, make a point to let them know what a great job they're doing.
For more information on becoming a foster parent, please contact Toya Cunningham at National Youth Advocate Program by calling 304-243-1865 or email her at email@example.com.
Meredith Wycherley is a local foster parent.

The Paw Print: Where do you live in Germany?
Lisa Richly: I live in Julbach, a very small town with around 2,000 people, located in the south of Germany and five minutes from the border of Austria
TPP: What made you want to do an exchange program in the United States for your junior year?
LR: I chose to do an exchange program in the United States because many different people told me that their exchange year was the best thing they had even done, and therefore, I decided to do it. I chose the United States because I have always wanted to come to the United States.
TPP: How do you like Poly so far?
LR: I really like it so far. There are great people and everybody here is really nice. There are so many extra things you can do here, like all the clubs and different sports opportunities.
TPP: What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
LR: I like to meet up with friends and go shopping (just what every girl likes to do in her free time).
TPP: What is your favorite kind of American food that you have tried?
LR: My favorite kind of American food is pizza. But is it American?
TPP: What do you miss most about your home in Germany?
LR: I miss mostly my friends (and of course my family) and just going out with them in the evenings. Also, I really miss the German clubs, since in Germany, you are allowed to go to the clubs and drink beer when you are 16.
TPP: Are you playing any sport this season?
LR: Yeah, this season I am playing tennis, but I am not very good at it.
TPP: Is there anything you do not like about Poly?
LR: The only thing I do not like about Poly is all of the homework. The people at Poly have way more homework than we have in Germany.
TPP: What are you most looking forward to this year?
LR: I am most looking forward to prom because we don't have a prom in Germany.
TPP: Now, lastly and most importantly, do you like Pinkberry or 21 better?
LR: Even though both of them are really good, I would have to say that I like 21 Choices better.

Captain Ko (Ryu Seung-ryong) leads a small team of detectives from the narcotics unit that often make blunders, which is stopping him from getting the promotion he wants. One day, fortune finally smiles on them, as they discover that, directly in front of the hideout of a major drug trafficker, a fried-chicken restaurant is about to go out of business. The cops decide to buy the joint in order to do surveillance. Alas, customers eventually start to flock there, attracted by the new recipe of sticky chicken with rib marinade, so much so that the restaurant becomes a sensation. Will this unexpected success make our police squad forget the actual goal of their operation?
The surprise box-office hit of the year in South Korea, EXTREME JOB quickly became the film to have sold the second most tickets in the history of the country's cinema. It's easy to understand the popular enthusiasm while watching this wildly entertaining comedy, which is vigorously directed by Lee Byeong-heon (WHAT A MAN WANTS, which screened at Fantasia last year). Hilarious dialogue abounds, paired with a good dose of irresistible slapstick. Moreover, beyond the laughs (and all the food on the screen, which will make you desperately crave fried chicken when you leave the theatre!), the film features some very effective action scenes, including a spectacular third-act brawl. Since a Hollywood remake starring Kevin Hart is currently in development, you'll be able to say that you saw the original version of EXTREME JOB at Fantasia before everyone else! – Kevin Laforest

Fredericton – Tuesday, at the PC platform launch, PC staff told reporters Higgs planned to cut 2000 jobs during the technical scrum. This question was asked by journalists, directly to Higgs. Higgs did not disprove this information, as such, the media released articles with these numbers.
At that moment, CUPE NB sent out a press release at 3:55 pm and a social media message denouncing this promise. A few hours after the press conference, the PC communications director emailed media saying the PC staffers had made a mistake, and that 600 jobs, not 2000 jobs would be cut through attrition.
"One way or another, this will affect the level of service New Brunswickers expect and deserve," said Daniel Légère, president of CUPE NB. "In our opinion, one job cut is one too many in our public service, which is often operating on a bare bone staff," he added.
Unfortunately, on Wednesday's televised Leaders' debate, Brian Gallant's attacked the PC leader, saying he would cut 2000 jobs out of the public sector. This was, however, not once refuted by anyone in or after the debate.
"We stand on our principle. Attrition, which means retirements are not being replaced and jobs are phased out, only worsen existing work shortages and workload issues," said Légère. "If it happens, this would definitely mean a loss of employment opportunities for new graduates and the province's young people," he concluded.

Sorry, Marco Rubio: Philosophers Make More Money Than Welders
Rubio was asked what he would "take back" that Democratic presidential candidates offered voters in government-paid benefits during their own debate. In response, he called raising the minimum wage a "disaster" and instead proposed making "higher education faster and easier to access, especially vocational training."
"For the life of me I don't know why we have stigmatized vocational education," Rubio said. "Welders make more money than philosophers. We need more welders and less philosophers."
But data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics disprove that statement.
Postsecondary philosophy and religion teachers earn an average annual wage of $71,350 while welders pocket $40,040 annually, according to the agency's May 2014 survey.

News and Stories
UPDATE: High Temperatures Return to the Salinas Valley
High temperatures over the last 10 to 14 days have caused quality and shelf-life issues in most lettuce and tender leaf items grown in the Salinas Valley. Fringe burn, high insect pressure, premature pinking, and reduced shelf-life have been the most prevalent problems. Temperatures are expected to ease into the high 60s/low 70s for the next 7 to 10 days before more heat returns to the Salinas Valley.
Temperatures are forecast in the mid-80s/low 90s and possibly triple digits in the hottest areas across the valley from July 9 through July 13. A tropical storm moving north from the Baja peninsula is expected to bring the warm weather and moisture. High temperatures and rain will prolong current quality problems for the rest of the month
Issues to be expected include:
Leafy Greens and Lettuces:
- Dehydration
- Fringe burn
- Growth cracking
- Inconsistent/dense texture
- Increased mildew
- Insect pressure
- Long core/seeder
- Shortened shelf-life
- Pale color in iceberg
- Sun scalding
Value-Added Salads and Tender Leaf Items:
- Brittle texture
- Core material
- Dehydration
- Dense texture/chunks
- Higher respiration rates
- Possibility of insects in finished packs
- Mechanical damage
- Shortened shelf-life
- Yellowing
Markon recommends that operators thoroughly rinse and inspect commodity and value-added lettuce and tender leaf products during this time to make sure all insects have been removed.
Markon inspectors are working with suppliers to select the best lots available for Markon orders. Maintaining the cold chain is critical to maximizing the quality and shelf-life of commodity and value-added produce items. Markon will continue to report on prices, supply levels, and quality as more information becomes available.
Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.

2019 NFL – Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts Preview & Prediction
When is Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts taking place? Sunday 22nd September, 2019 – 18:00 (UK)
Where is Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts taking place? Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis
What is the expected weather for Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts? 26c with some showers expected
What television channel is Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts on? Sky Sports will be showing live NFL games during the season so it is worth checking their schedule
Where can I stream Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts? Subscribers to NFL GAMEPASS can stream matches live on their platform
Where can I get tickets for Atlanta Falcons @ Indianapolis Colts? Check Ticketmaster for ticket information on selected games
What was the outcome in the last meeting? Indianapolis Colts 24-21 Atlanta Falcons
- Atlanta took advantage of Philadelphia's injury misfortune to claim their first win of the season thanks to a clutch Julio Jones TD with that 54-yard effort seeing him surpass Roddy White for the most receiving yards in Falcons history.
- RT Kaleb McGary was taken off with a knee injury for the Falcons last week and although he returned, he will be assessed through the week with a limited participation at Thursday's practice a good sign.
- K Matt Bosher is the only player that has failed to register some form of practice as of Thursday with the Falcons needing every possible body on board to help them overcome a Colts team that they are 2-14 against in all-time meetings.
- Indianapolis got off the mark for the season at the second time of asking as they narrowly defeated AFC South rivals Tennessee which should give them a boost ahead of their first home game of the season.
- Colts CB Pierre Desir was expected to miss this game after suffering a bruised bone in last week's victory although two limited practices through Thursday could hint at a surprise recovery.
- LB Darius Leonard is expected to sit out due to concussion whilst RB Marlon Mack sat out the first two practices of the week with a calf problem which will be cause for concern for Indianapolis.
Both Indianapolis and Atlanta picked up their first victories of the season last week and the pair will want to build on that as they face-off here. They both have plenty of improvement left in them and will want to show it here in what could be a high-scoring game that can go either way but the Colts will fancy their chances on home turf. They will need RB Marlon Mack to overcome his calf injury to pose the Falcons problems but with such a strong record against their opponents, the home side should be able to claim the win.

Riste ANDRIEVSKI
Artist statement: I love the captures of Ansel Adams. As a photographer who shoots mostly in black and white, I find his photographs inspirational.
During my photography trip to Yosemite National Park, I felt instantly the landscape Ansel Adams saw and was inspired by. My training as a printmaker is what draws me to the old traditional black-and-white print. I always liked the power of the black-and-white image and how it can capture a scene without colour, uncluttering what is in view.
