A Sabbatical State
- by Eric
I'm back-dating this post to fill out some major gaps in our poorly-kept family blog in 2013. While working at Adobe, once every five years, each employee is granted about a month of work off to do whatever they want, whether it be a personal project, personal development, or extended vacation time with absolutely no expectation of availability from the company during the hiatus. It's a fantastic idea, one that I fully endorse and support.
Usually these sabbaticals are taken in pursuit of some grand vacation or side project, but mine was a bit different. Instead of focusing on one solitary project, I split the time up into multiple weekly activities.
The first week consisted of dedicated family time with the 4th of July celebrations and everything going on with that. Nothing too exciting, but definitely a relaxing time to be had by all. During this time, I also started work on a fun little side project that I had been wanting to do for some time now. I never have enough time to play with the violin and enjoy music, so I thought I would make a cover music video, complete with a violin descant. A lot of brainstorming and initial work happened during this week, too.
The second week of the month focused on Scout Camp and swim lessons for the boys. Being able to go to the pool every day and work with them to get comfortable in the water is something that means a lot to me given my storied past with learning to swim. And then of course in my new capacity as the Young Men's president, I got to go up and have some fun supporting the boys working to get cool merit badges like shotgun shooting, boating, and aeronautics.
The third week was dedicated to recording, filming, and editing my cover video of Backwards by Matthias. I had been following his work for some time on YouTube, and I was really impressed with his skill and desire to create clean, enjoyable content. This video ended up encapsulating many aspects of expression from my life, including my time spent in Taiwan and attempts to broaden my creative horizons with video editing. All in all, I'd say it was quite the cathartic experience. You can watch the end result here:
The fourth week consisted entirely of a family reunion and trip to Disneyland. It was a lot of fun to include Daniel in this trip as well as let Sam enjoy the experience more as a four-year-old. I am sure we will have a whole separate blog post about that experience, so I won't go into many details here. Suffice it to say, everyone in the family had a lot of fun, and we are so very grateful that Granny and Grandpa Hansen made it all happen for us!
The last week of July and first part of August was spent with more Young Men's President duties. I spent all day Monday and Tuesday providing Priesthood support at the Young Women's Camp up at Mutual Dell. I've never been so involved in YW Camp before, so I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. The girls seemed to enjoy how dedicated us adult males were in learning how to make wristbands and painting rocks during craft time, and we all had fun trying to outperform each other with progressively unique tricks on the zipline.
On Wednesday, we loaded up the truck and packed up my car with bikes and boys to head down to Moab, UT for the high adventure. It was an incredible three days of biking, rafting down the Colorado, and hiking up canyons. It also justified the purchase of my new mountain bike in June, so now I have less of an excuse to get out on the awesome trails around our neighborhood.
All in all, it was a very hectic month, and while a lot of it was spent in either family activities or volunteering efforts, I feel like it was time well spent.
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails…
- by Brittny
Wow, a lot has happened since we last updated. I'd say that I'll try to keep this short, but that would be a lie so I won't even try to make such promises. I'll just warn you right off the bat that this is likely to be a long post :)
I guess I'll start with the pregnancy update since that's been the most consuming part of my life recently (surprise!). Everything is still going really well for me. My biggest complaint is heartburn but I can still keep it at bay most of the time with just taking Tums. I'm definitely getting to be more whale-ish so I'm finding it harder to reach things on the floor or get out of bed. But overall, I'm feeling fantastic for having less than 2 weeks left! In fact, one of my favorite activities of late has been looking at the other pregnant women in my ward. I keep looking at the women who look seriously uncomfortable and thinking, man they must be ready to go any day now! Then, I'll look up their due dates and find out… they're a month less pregnant than I am. I'm feeling very blessed that this has been the case.
When I was at the doctor's on Monday she told us that I was 2cm dilated and 60% effaced. Not too bad! She'd asked if I'd been feeling any contractions, and I'd said no, but apparently I was wrong. You can't make progress without contractions. On Friday I finally figured out what the contractions feel like… and I've been having them for weeks. I'd just thought it was the baby pushing out on part of my stomach that was making it all hard :P . They aren't the kind that hurt yet, but I really should start timing them since I've been having them come a few an hour for a day at a time off and on. They're just kinda hard to time because since they don't hurt… I don't always notice them. I've been joking all week that I'd decided that Saturday would be a good day for Samuel to come and that I was going to talk him into it :P My family decided that if that was the case they would all pack into the car and head up since they have a 3 day weekend anyways. My little brother Kyle started praying that I'd go into labor as soon as they made that decision. He told my mom that they should just come because, "I prayed for it, and when have my prayers not been answered. Ok, maybe a couple of times." We thought it was really cute, but also very true. Kyle has awesome child-like faith and we've seen more than one miracle that came from his praying for it. The weekend isn't over yet so I guess I better be ready!
Also, in preparation for Samuel's arrival my friends Amber and Crystal threw a baby shower for me last week! We played a few games and had some awesome food and opened presents. We are SO set now for Samuel to come! Amber took some pictures that you can see here if you're interested. And here's the invitation (no, it didn't get smudged, I just figured Amber might not like her home address and phone number to be displayed for the world to see on our blog):
Which leads me to a question, how many people out there have heard that nursery rhyme saying before – "Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of" ? I'd heard it before so I thought it was super cute that Amber used that on the invitation, but most people that we've asked had never heard of it before. It's part of a long poem that goes through what different kinds of people are made of. Most people I guess only know the "Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of" part of the rhyme. Apparently other people thought it was a little weird, which I guess I can understand if you've never heard the rhyme before :P But I thought it was cute, and now you all know :) (You can see the Wikipedia entry for the rhyme here.) Thanks so much Amber and Crystal for putting that together, and to everyone who came or couldn't come but has dropped by since then. We so appreciate all of the things we've been given that will make it so much easier to bring our baby home!
One of the really fun things we've been able to do in the past few weeks is to go to a lot of cool concerts. Eric is taking Music 200 and one of the requirements for the class is to go to six different genres of concerts. It's been a really good excuse for us to go on some fun dates! We went first to a combined choir concert at the Provo Tabernacle that featured BYU's Men's Chorus, Women's Chorus, Concert Choir and BYU Singers. It was a really cool concert, and they even had the audience do one of the numbers. They handed out sheet music to everyone as we came in and then at the end of the performance they had us basically sight read the music and sing with the choir. Definitely not something you could do with just any audience :P
Last week we went to the Young Ambassadors show, probably more at my request than for Eric's requirement (for those of you who don't know I spent 4 years on the YA's tech crew and it is still one of the most incredible and defining experiences of my life). Their new show is still really weird to me because it is so different from the shows that I worked on. They have cut some of the performers (singers/dancers) in favor of a larger band, and the band is now on stage with the group instead of in a pit or off to the side somewhere. Actually this change I LOVE. The band has always been one of the coolest parts of the group (no offense to any performers that might read our blog) and I think it's awesome to have them up on the stage and really part of the show. As a result of them expanding the band they no longer have a backup tape that has the instruments we lacked with a 4 piece band. This allows the band to have a lot more control over the musicality of the show rather than being tied to a click track. I can't express enough what a great change I think this is.
The other major change that I've noticed is that the show has a lot less Broadway and a lot more pop-type numbers. The years I was in the group the show was entirely composed of Broadway numbers. Their current show is called "The New Music Makers" and it's supposed to more tie together the people who have influenced music in different eras. Honestly, I don't like this change, but I'm sure that it's a case of what I'm used to more than anything. I just really liked the Broadway numbers and all of the acting that went along with the singing and dancing. I like watching numbers that really tell a story more than just a song. I know every song *is* a story, but it's just different. Which isn't to say that I didn't enjoy the show, or think that they did a fantastic job, because I really enjoyed the show. I just liked the older style of show better.
Anyways, last night we went to a concert for Synthesis (an elite Jazz band at BYU). They were AWESOME. I'd seen them play at Homecoming Spectacular once and was very impressed, but it was even more fun to see them playing a whole concert. They are an incredibly talented group and it was totally worth the money that we paid to go see their show. The funniest part of the whole night though was their guest artist – Anthony Wilson. Don't get me wrong, he was very good and extremely talented. What was funny was that Synthesis was playing some of his songs with him, and rather than allowing the conductor of Synthesis to conduct the whole thing Anthony Wilson kept trying to conduct the group, as well as the conductor, while playing the guitar. I'm sure it's very difficult not to do that when it's a piece that you wrote and you have a specific idea of how it should sound. It was a classic example though of what John Shurtleff (YA technical director) would call "too many chiefs and not enough Indians".
Another result of all of these extra dates has been that we've found a new restaurant that we LOVE – Zupas. So far we've been there 3 times and had different things each time and haven't been dissapointed once. That's saying something! We like to get their combo meals where you get to choose a combination of 2 of either a bowl of soup, a panini or a salad (i.e. you can get a panini and soup, or a panini and salad or soup and salad). We fell in love with paninis while on our honeymoon in Paris so we've both opted for paninis every time. So far we've tried 4 different soups, 2 salads and 6 paninis and they've all been excellent. If you live in Utah and you haven't yet been to Zupas… we highly recommend that you remedy that soon :)
We've had a few other fun things that have happened in the past few weeks. We threw a little birthday party for Eric's best friend Levi a couple weekends ago. Eric and Levi have been friends since Eric was 5 so they go WAY back. However, they haven't really seen each other in over 4 years as their age difference made it so that Levi was leaving on his mission about the same time Eric got home from his. I've really enjoyed watching the two of them just pick up where they left off, having fun playing video games, and going skiing and just having fun together. I'm especially glad that he has a friend to go skiing with him since I'm not exactly a world class skiier (I'd much rather be at home and be warm than in the snow). I've also enjoyed that there is now someone around who is really good competition for Eric in his video games, someone's gotta teach him some humility ;)
We also had Eric's friend Jason come from Taiwan and visit us for 5 days. Eric taught Jason the gospel while on his mission and Jason was finally able to get baptized within the past year while living in Russia. Jason also came over from Taiwan for our wedding and stayed with my family for a few days at that time. It was really fun to have him here, although I felt bad that we were really busy and couldn't do too many things with him, but I think the things that we did do while he was here were pretty fun. He was here when we had Levi's birthday party, which was cool because they don't really make that big of a deal of birthdays in Taiwan so it was a new experience for him to go to a birthday party (even if the one we had was pretty low key). Eric also took him to Temple Square one of the afternoons and we went and had Family Home Evening with Mom & Dad Hansen in Salt Lake that night. It was especially good that Jason was here for that since Eric was speaking to their FHE group about his experiences in Taiwan that night! They hadn't planned that at all, it just worked out that way, but it was fun that Eric had someone actually from Taiwan to help with that presentation.
Along with the presentation Eric's parents had asked him to bring his violin and play something for the group. Can I just say how much I love watching Eric play the violin? He is an excellent violinist, but it's not necessarily listening to him play that I love as much as watching him play. Eric is a very passionate person and you can see how much he loves playing the violin whenever he gets a chance to play – which hasn't been often lately. I really hope that as he finishes school in a couple of months he will have more time to spend practicing. He can make beautiful music with that instrument, but more than anything I love seeing how happy it makes him to be able to make that music. (Yaknow, the day he proposed to me was after I'd seen him play violin for the first time… do you think it's a coincidence that I accepted? ;P) If you've never had a chance to see or hear Eric play the violin there are some links to some mp3s and videos on his website.
So overall it's been a busy but fun few weeks! Sorry we've been so lax in getting posts out regularly. Hopefully we'll do better in the future (no guarantees though :P)

Spending One-On-One Time With Friends In A Big Crew Is Essential & Here's Why
You and your crew roll deep, and each of you helps make up one of the coolest and most dynamic groups of all time. Regardless of how you all met, you take pride in your tribe. All of you are individuals, and everyone needs a little special TLC that boils down to one-on-one hangout sessions. To be honest, spending one-on-one time with friends who are part of your big crew is crucial to how you all function together.
Hanging out with just one of your friends every once in awhile doesn't mean you are rejecting the amazing feels the whole group gives you. You're not taking a break from chaos, but tending to one of the many lovely parts that make up your big group. Each piece is so special and important. There's no better way to discover that than by getting in some one-on-one time with them.
Together, you are all solid, and that's mostly because you bond with each one of your friends separately. That's the luxury of having a reliable, big group of friends. Despite common belief, that quality time you dedicate to each friend individually sometimes, is a prime contributor to why you all function so well together.
1. No One Ever Feels Left Out
It' not easy trying to navigate around a big group, and likely, someone is bound to feel left out. When you guys make it a point to link up one-on-one outside of the group, everyone gets their special time. No one ever feels taken for granted, and the good vibes keep on prevailing.
2. It Gives You A Chance To Chit-Chat More Intently
Of course, you can always talk to anyone in your big group, but when you're all together, it is fun and mayhem. When you get a chance to talk to each other one at a time, you feel more secure in the group. And even if you didn't voice what you said to everyone at once, you value the idea that you can still be listened to.
3. You Get To See A Different Side Of Your Friend
You're not being fake or anything if you act a tad differently when you aren't in a huge group of friends. Maybe you love immersing yourself in some chill hobbies in your solo time, like crocheting or painting. Getting to know your friend outside of the group setting will give you the opportunity to really get to know them and their interests.
4. It Allows Everyone To Cherish Varying Memories Of Each Other
You'll always have those unreal memories that you experience as a group. Having little memories of each other in different situations will be another strengthening factor to your friendships. Also, bringing up those "remember that one time" moments within the group will further promote that one-on-one time.
5. It's Comforting As Hell
Most people would assume that a large group of friends should automatically make you feel comfortable. It does, but when you can snag some one-on-one bonding time, you feel way more secure in your group of friends.
6. You Learn To Value Each Other Even More
You adore your group of friends. No two people are the same, and hanging out with all of them separately further reminds you of just that. Each person is a decorative piece that makes up the beautiful masterpiece that is your friendship. Together or apart, there's never really a dull moment to be had.
7. Your Big Crew Grows Stronger
You guys are strong together, because you are also reliable and strong apart. When you're paired up and doing your one-on-one thing, you guys will always represent the bigger picture — which is your dope as hell group of friends.
You and your big group of friends are grateful to have each other. Every single one of you brings so much to the power team.

Every summer, numerous outbreaks of a disease known Koi Herpesvirus (KHV) are reported around the UK. In the warmer months, incidents of the disease rise and fisheries over the country are forced to implement controls to manage the possible spread of the deadly pathogen.
According to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), nine areas in the UK have seen outbreaks so far this year; in 2015 there were 11 and 2014 saw a larger 24.
So what is this aquatic disease that ravages our lakes each summer? The disease first occurred in the UK in 2002 but was originally recorded in Koi – a more ornamental variety of common carp – in the USA. "The Koi carp had originated in Israel and been exported to the USA," head of the Fish Health Inspectorate at CEFAS, Kevin Denham, told IBTimes UK, "for a few years the disease was restricted to ornamental fish in people's garden ponds and aquaria, but over a period of time, possibly due to the fact that people were releasing pet fish into the environment, it got into our wild common carp population."
Outbreaks of the disease occur mostly during the summer months as KHV becomes prevalent when the UK's ambient water temperature reaches the 15-16 degree threshold. Denham says that the UK's window is around mid-June to September.
Under UK and EU legislation, KHV is classified as a notifiable disease – meaning that it is subject to national control measures due to its environmental impact and the fact that it is untreatable.
2016's Outbreaks
- The Barns, Cornwall
- Larford Lakes, Hereford & Worcestershire
- Brockman Fisheries, Hereford & Worcestershire
- Fleetwood Reservoir, Lancashire
- The Glebe Lakes, Leicestershire
- Bain Valley Fisheries, Lincolnshire
- Albert Park Lake, North Yorkshire
- Aston Park, South Yorkshire
- Bierley Woods Waters, West Yorkshire
KHV mainly affects the carp's gills, leaving them with lesions that then get infected with bacteria and fungi. The disease is generally fatal to infected fish, though the number of fish that die in an outbreak depends on a number of environmental factors including the density of the school and the water's temperature.
As dangerously contagious as the word herpes might make it sound, the disease only affects the common carp and its varieties like Koi. "There are no implications for humans," said Denham, "there are no implications for any mammals and no implications for any other fish species that we know about other than common carp."
Even though there are no implications for humans, it might reassure people to know that the fish affected are not those which might enter the human food chain – the outbreaks are in fisheries managed for angling purposes.
Koi Herpesvirus is a bit exceptional for CEFAS, aquatic diseases are often seasonal and temperature dependent but most of the diseases that really concern CEFAS are cold water ones, the summer is a quieter period on the fish health front. "It's just a peculiarity of aquatic animal health," says Denham.
This year the outbreaks came earlier thanks to a warmer spring but the number so far is fairly standard but with September still on the horizon, the number has a fair chance of rising.

First Blood is the sixth episode of the second season of The Handmaid's Tale.
Offred finds unexpected allies and obstacles in her search for a way to protect Hannah. The Commander prepares for the dedication of a new Red Center. Nick struggles with his new assignation.
During an ultrasound, the doctor tells Serena that Offred's bleeding was due to a subchorionic hematoma and she should be fine now, adding the baby "needs harmony within the household". Back at home, Serena has Offred move in the sitting room so she doesn't have to go up and down the stairs. In a moment alone with Offred, Nick points out he didn't have a choice to marry Eden and still thinks about "the three of us".
Commander Fred inspects the almost finished construction site of the new Red Center, along with Aunt Lydia and the Commanders Pryce, Putnam, and Cushing. Aunt Lydia is pleased about the increasing number of "girls" they "can process here". Waterford assures a suspicious Pryce that the "finishing touches" on the site will be done within two days.
That night, Nick and Eden have dinner at their apartment, where she tells him that her mother taught her "about everything" that would be expected of her as a wife. Nick steps outside to smoke.
Serena sits by the couch while Offred gets ready to go to sleep. When Serena asks what it's like to have a human life inside of her, she lets Serena put her hands on her belly. She awakens to get a drink, finding Commander Fred in the kitchen. She asks if he's mad at her. He says that he's just busy. They joke about Aunt Lydia and he says that pregnancy suits her.
The next day, Eden looks for Mrs. Waterford but only finds Offred. She tells Offred about Nick's permanent aloofness and fears he is a gender traitor. Offred reassures her he will be a great father for her children.
Serena invites four handmaids (Alma, Ofglen (#2), Oferic, and Ofsamuel) for a surprise lunch with Offred. Serena awkwardly tries to get the girls to talk and feels left out when the baby begins to kick. She goes outside to a greenhouse. She tends to her plants.
Conversation in the nursery (Relationships/Serena and June)
Later, Serena takes Offred up to the nursery to see how she's decorated it. Offred tells her it's beautiful. Serena promises to be the best mother possible, making Offred uncomfortable. She tells her about Hannah's room. When Offred asks to see Hannah, Serena sternly refuses and tells her to get her things out from downstairs to go back to her old room. Both women cry as Offred leaves.
As Offred comes in, she runs into Nick. She explains what happened with Serena Joy and tells Nick to sleep with Eden, since she will make trouble. Nick protests due to her age, but she says that he must because she can't lose him too. He says that he loves her (June), but she answers "She's your wife."
Nick recites Genesis 1:28 and asks if she's sure. Before they begin, she says he'll be a great father. He inserts himself through a hole in the sheet and quickly finishes. He asks if she's okay and she says she hopes it worked and that they'll have to keep trying, if not.
Fred finds his wife in the greenhouse and says that Rita said she'd be in there all afternoon. She tells him that Offred wanted to see Hannah and calls her devious. After she hurts herself, he says that he prays to be worthy for her.
In a flashback, Serena nervously prepares to speak in front of a crowd on a college campus to promote her book "A Woman's Place," where the audience is already booing loudly before she even gets to the podium. When someone throws a water bottle at the stage, the organizers hustle her out, with Fred loudly protesting that she has a right to speak, because "This is America".
On her way out, she shouts that they're living in a privileged bubble and tells the women to embrace their biological destiny. When heading back to the car, Serena's manager is shot in the chest and she is shot in the stomach by a sniper.
In the hospital, Fred and Serena write a speech for her. When he sadly says that he shouldn't have allowed her to speak in public, she tears her hand away and tells him to be a man.
Fred later catches the sniper. He is tied up and Fred recites Ecclesiastes 3:17, while the man's wife is present. Fred asks the man if he knows what it's like to pray to God for his wife. He shoots his wife and says that he does now. They drag him away and leave his wife's corpse on the ground.
In the present, Fred sneaks into Offred's room while she sleeps and shows her a Polaroid of Hannah in her pink Subservient-in-Training uniform. Offred thanks him and cries as she stares at the photo. He says that he missed her and begins groping her. They begin kissing and he says that he wants her. She stops him, saying that she's worried about the baby. She grabs his hand, thanking him, and he says that it's their little secret. He leaves the room and she cries, still looking at the photograph.
To the opening of the new Rachel and Leah Center, Commanders from all of the districts are there. When Nick sees Commander Pryce, he begs for reassignment and says there's a lot he hasn't divulged about Fred. He then asks Pryce to promise to "protect the handmaid" to which Pryce replies he has his word.
Offred sits silently in front of her plate and says that she is not hungry. Serena asks Rita to wrap it and says that Offred will eat it later. Eden arrives and offers to help in the house. Serena says that she wishes Offred was as helpful. She throws her needle on the floor and as Eden is about to pick it up, Serena orders Offred to do it instead. Serena then tells Eden to throw the needle on the ground and make Offred pick it up as well. Offred says she felt a cramp and does not want to hurt the baby, allowing her to leave the needle on the floor. She goes to her room and looks at the photograph of Hannah.As Commander Fred addresses the men who have gathered for the opening of the new Rachel and Leah Center, handmaids stand along the auditorium's back wall. Ofglen#2 steps out of line and turns to face her fellow maids, raising one hand so the handmaids can see that she is holding a detonator. The women start to run. Ofglen#2 then runs into the assembly, holds up her hand once more and presses the button. As the handmaids run for safety, a huge explosion rocks the center.

Scripture for the Day (January 26, 2018)
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. (Luke 9:1-2)
Did you know that Jesus has given power to His disciples? Most believers today think that devils have passed away or exist in foreign countries only. Most believers today think that the power to heal the sick rests in doctors and hospitals alone. Those two beliefs are not based on the Word of God.
The disciples of Jesus have been given power and authority. They have been given the Word of God. They have been given the name of Jesus. They have been given the power of the blood of Jesus. They have been given the authority to use the Word, the name, and the blood. They have been given the Holy Spirit and the Angels of God to assist them. So, what is our problem? Why aren't we using those things to set people free and establish His Kingdom?
The two major hindrances to using this authority are unbelief and fear. The vast majority of Christians have never personally read or studied the Bible. They go to church and listen to someone else tell them what the Bible says and means but they never read it for themselves. Would you do that if the Bible was a last will and testament from your deceased millionaire father? No you wouldn't! You would make sure you read every word to see what belongs to you. Well, your Father God is much more that a millionaire and you need to read the Old and New Testaments to see exactly what has been given you and not rely on a third party who may or may not know what they're talking about. This is why we have so much unbelief in the Church. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).
Fear is the next most common enemy that holds us back. Do you know where fear comes from? It's not from God! For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) Well, if it's not from God where do you think it comes from? It comes from the enemy (the thief) who wants to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). Consider the following scripture:
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. (James 2:19)
What do the devils tremble at? They tremble at the Word, the name, the blood, and any believer that has the authority to use them. They are trembling at you and me! They are the ones that are afraid and the only way they can defeat you and me is to transfer that fear over onto us. Don't receive it! It's not from God. Walk in your authority and do what Jesus has given you the power to do! Nothing has changed. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

Engines roar into action at 17:00pm this Saturday for round 4 of the 2015 Adrian Flux British FIM Speedway Grand Prix, held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Rock supported rider Tai Woffinden will be looking to continue his point dominance in the biggest event on the speedway calendar. Leading the World Championship standings on 40 points, there's sure to be a Great British welcome in a stadium that can take over 62,000 speedway fans.
Tai has achieved fantastic results this year representing England in the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup along with winning (and retaining) his British Championship title. Currently he's the bookmakers favourite but Tai is treating like another day on the track: "It's another Grand Prix and another opportunity to score some points as far as I'm concerned. I'm just treating it the same as any other GP, although of course it will be different because it's the British round, my home round.
"I'm not putting any pressure on myself going into the meeting, I'm just looking forward to it and I will give it my all."
Joining Tai at Cardiff will be another Rock rider; Craig Cook, taking the wild card spot at number 16. Craig narrowly lost out to Tai at Monmore Green in Wolverhampton last month. Craig was looking in top form initially leading in first place, but sadly the race had to be restarted when another rider crashed out. In the re-run Woffinden made no mistake and finished ahead of Cook. Although thankfully the result still meant that Cook secured his wildcard spot for this coming Saturday.
Working through the line-up for Saturday's event, fellow rock Riders Chris 'Bomber' Harris (ranking 11th with 18 points so far), Matej Žagar (ranking 5th position with 24 points) and Troy Batchelor (ranking 14th with 13 points) will be joining the fray. Chris was the first Brit in seven years to win a Speedway Grand Prix back in 2007, and the first to do so inside the Millennium Stadium.

St. Leo the Great was an ardent theologian, a defender of the Faith, and a pastoral, simple man of holiness. Leo, one of only three pontiffs who've been given the title 'Great' (the others being St. Gregory and St. John Paul II), was the Supreme Pontiff from 440 to 461. When he took the reins of leadership Rome was in a dire fall, yet St. Leo was more than capable to steer through the raging waters of cultural and political strife. One of Leo's great contentions was the necessity of unity for the Christian Church. Heretical factions were popping throughout the faithful. The Manichees, who held that evil was co-eternal with the good. The Nestorians who attacked Mary's title of Theotokos. The Monophysites, who contended that Christ could not have been human and divine. And the Pelagians, who taught that man could achieve his own goodness by his own unaided will, no need for the grace of God.Share
Leo was a staunch defender of the primacy of Peter, not because he held the office but because of Christ's call to have an authoritative head of His Church, through which the will of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit finds an embodiment. He practiced this office most profoundly at the Council of Chalcedon. However, his role as the pastor and shepherd of the Christian people took a much deeper tone in the wave of the coming Hun army, distinctly setting its ravenous sights on the great city of Rome.

Chambers Address:
800 Market Street, Suite 145
Knoxville TN 37902
(865) 545-4255
Staff Information
Judicial Assistant:
Pam Simpson
Courtroom Deputy:
Angela Archer
Law Clerks:
Pat Ferrell
Bradley Finney
Evan Rothey
Judicial Preferences
1. Written correspondence from counsel to the court.
Written correspondence from counsel to the court is discouraged under most circumstances. If correspondence is directed to the court either by mail or email at firstname.lastname@example.com, copies must be sent to counsel for all parties.
2. Communication between counsel and the Judge's law clerks.
Communication between counsel and the judge's law clerks is permitted, but such communication should not address the merits of any pending case.
3. Preference for the use of telephone conferences rather than in-person conferences for any category of conferences that you schedule in connection with a case.
Final pretrial conferences will be generally conducted in person. For other conferences, out-of-town attorneys desiring to participate by telephone should contact Judge Reeves' judicial assistant at least one week before the conference date. The use of telephone conferences may also be initialized by the Court for other matters.
4. Preference regarding pro hac vice admissions.
See Local Rule 83.5.
5. Preference regarding oral arguments on motions.
Judge Reeves considers requests for oral argument on a case by case basis and may set a motion for oral argument even absent a request by the parties.
6. Preference for courtesy copies of motions, briefs, and other writings for chambers.
Courtesy copies of motions and briefs are always appreciated and should be mailed or hand delivered to the Clerk's Office. Upon filing any dispositive motion, or other motion (or responsive pleading) which exceeds twenty-five (25) pages (including attachments), a courtesy hard copy shall be mailed or hand delivered to chambers. Any materials over tweny-five (25) pages should be bound and indexed.
7. Standard form for scheduling order(s).
A copy of Judge Reeves' scheduling order is on the court's web site.
8. Preferences regarding Federal Rule 16.
All attorneys are required to strictly adhere to the requirements of Rule 16, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
9. Preferences regarding Federal Rule 26.
All attorneys are required to strictly adhere to the requirements of Rule 26, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
10. The extent to which counsel may influence the length of the discovery period, extensions, trial dates, etc.
Once a trial date is set, counsel are expected to be prepared for the trial, absent exigent circumstances. While continuances may be granted for good cause, failure to adequately and timely prepare a case for trial is not considered to be, "good cause." A motion is required to extend the deadlines for filing of dispositive motions, motions requiring a Daubert hearing, and the trial date.
11. The average amount of time allowed for discovery in a standard case.
Pretrial discovery in a standard case should be completed within eight or nine months, and the standard case should be ready for trial within one year.
12. Preferred approach and procedures for handling discovery conferences and disputes.
Counsel should use their best efforts to resolve discovery disputes without court intervention. If this cannot be accomplished, the parties should contact the magistrate judge assigned to the case for a telephone conference to discuss the dispute. Should this not solve the dispute, a motion can be filed with the court and the certifications required by Rule 37(2)(A) and (B) must be strictly adhered to by counsel requesting relief.
13. Preferences regarding the handling of confidentiality agreements.
The parties may agree to any confidentiality agreement which will be binding upon the parties. With regard to filing documents "under seal" with the court, however, counsel must strictly adhere to the requirements of Local Rule 26.2.
14. Preferences regarding requests for additional pages in excess of the page limitations set forth in Local Rule 7.1(b).
The page limitations established by Local Rule 7.1(b) should ordinarily be followed. Reasonable requests to exceed the page limitations in complex cases, however, are usually granted.
15. Preferences and procedure regarding scheduling trials, including whether a date certain for trial is assigned; if so, the amount of time prior to trial that such a date certain is assigned; and the extent to which it may be moved during the month in which it has been scheduled.
A trial date is typically set in the scheduling order issued by Judge Reeves. Once set, continuances are granting only upon a showing of cause. Successive resettings require compelling necessity.
16. How needs of out-of-town parties, attorneys, or witnesses are accommodated.
Judge Reeves expects the attorneys who will be trying the case to be present at the final pretrial conference. For other conferences, out-of-town attorneys desiring to participate by telephone should contact Judge Reeves' judicial assistant at least one week before the conference date. If accommodations can be made without jeopardizing the cause of justice, the needs of out-of-town parties or witnesses will receive due consideration.
17. Preferences regarding the delivery of written reports to the court by expert witnesses who are scheduled to testify.
Written reports by expert witnesses who are scheduled to testify need not be filed with the court unless a party files a motion in limine requesting a Daubert hearing. In that event, written reports of the expert witnesses being challenged must be filed with the court prior to the Daubert hearing pursuant to the requirements set out in the Scheduling Order.
18. Preferences regarding the submission of trial briefs by counsel.
Per Judge Reeves' scheduling order, trial briefs should be submitted to the Court at least fourteen (14) days before trial.
19. Counsel participation in voir dire.
Judge Reeves will conduct preliminary voir dire in both civil and criminal cases but allows counsel to conduct additional voir dire. Counsel will be given latitude in conducting the voir dire so long as the voir dire does not become repetitious or overly intrusive. Once voir dire is completed, counsel will submit their challenges to the Court on a form provided by the courtroom deputy. "Back-striking" is not permitted.
20. Time limits for opening and closing statements at trial.
Counsel will be asked to establish time limits for opening and closing statements at the trial itself. Once agreed upon, however, counsel are required to follow the schedule.
21. Preference for counsel to examine witnesses from counsel table or elsewhere, including whether you prefer counsel to remain seated while examining witnesses.
Courtroom decorum is governed by Local Rule 83.3.
22. Whether more than one attorney may handle trial for a party.
More than one attorney may handle a trial for a party, but only one attorney for a party may examine or cross-examine a witness.
23. Preference for handling sidebar conferences.
Sidebar conferences are allowed and encouraged if counsel is unsure whether a matter should be addressed to the court prior to disclosure to the jury. If it appears to the court during the sidebar that a lengthy conference is required, the jury will be excused.
24. Preference or requirements for introducing videotaped testimony.
The courtroom deputy clerk should be given advance notice that a party intends to introduce videotaped testimony so that the equipment will be available as needed.
25. Pre-marking of documentary and photographic exhibits and other demonstrative evidence for trial and the date upon which exchange of exhibits is to take place, if any.
Judge Reeves' scheduling order addresses exhibits.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee uses the Jury Evidence Recording System (JERS) to capture evidence electronically during a trial. Evidence released to the jury can be played back by the jury in the deliberation room.
26. Preference for the moving of exhibits into evidence at trial.
Counsel should stipulate to the introduction of as many exhibits as possible in order that the trial will not be unduly delayed. In the event that the admission of documents is stipulated, counsel need not move the introduction of each individual exhibit. For exhibits which are not stipulated, counsel should move their admission if and when the documents are presented at trial.
27. Allowance of examination of witnesses beyond redirect and recross.
Examination of witnesses beyond redirect and recross will not be permitted absent compelling circumstances.
28. Special requirements for reading of depositions or other material onto the record at trial.
See Judge Reeves' scheduling order.
29. Preference for written motion and/or brief for judgment as a matter of law or judgment on the pleadings when such motion is made during trial.
Not required.
30. Approach to in limine motions.
Motions in limine shall be addressed, and in most instances resolved, at the final pretrial conference. The procedure for filing in limine motions are governed by the scheduling order entered in each case.
31. Practice for the receipt of proposed jury instructions, including the form of jury instruction.
See Local Rule 51.1.
32. Note-Taking by jurors.
Note taking by jurors is allowed. Jurors are given specific instructions on how to take and interpret their notes for deliberation in the jury instructions at the beginning and end of the trial.
33. Whether the jury may take exhibits into the jury room for deliberation and, if so, any limits.
All exhibits properly introduced into evidence, with the exception of firearms, ammunition, and controlled substances, will be available in the jury room during jury deliberations unless the Court specifically directs otherwise. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee uses the Jury Evidence Recording System (JERS) to capture evidence electronically during a trial. Evidence released to the jury can be played back by the jury in the deliberation room. A training session on the use of this equipment can be requested through the courtroom deputy.
34. Preference regarding the submission of written verdict forms (in the form of interrogatory questions) to the jury.
Counsel are permitted to submit proposed verdict forms for consideration by the court, but the court will prepare the form that is actually submitted to the jurors.
35. Written jury instructions provided to the jury.
The Court will provide a written copy of the charge final to the jury.
36. Requirements as to counsel's whereabouts during jury deliberations.
Counsel should notify the courtroom deputy of his or her whereabouts and be able to return to court within ten (10) minutes of being notified to do so.
37. Whether counsel may speak with the jurors after a verdict has been rendered and recorded and, if a jury is polled, who conducts the polling.
The court will poll the jury in each jury case. Local Rule 48.1 prohibits counsel from contacting or communicating with any jurors without prior leave of court, and absent extraordinary circumstances, counsel will not be permitted to interview the jurors after verdict.
38. Jury requests for review of testimony or recorded evidence.
Such requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.
39. Handling requests for temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and other emergency relief.
This matter is governed by Rule 65, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
40. As to injunctions, whether expedited discovery and briefing is allowed and, if so, whether briefing is allowed before or after any preliminary injunction hearing, and whether proposed findings of fact or conclusions of law in such cases are required.
The requirements of Rule 65, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, shall be strictly adhered to by counsel and extraordinary relief shall be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. Expedited discovery may be granted under compelling circumstances, but counsel shall not be permitted to circumvent the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by seeking expedited discovery in cases which clearly do not qualify for Rule 65 relief. In the event that expedited discovery is permitted, counsel will be directed to file written briefs on an expedited basis.
41. Prefer to receive copies of appellate filings when an appeal has been taken from an order.
42. General approach to settlement in non-jury cases and use of magistrate judges.
Mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution methods, are encouraged.
44. Procedures as to magistrate's reports.
The court follows 28 U.S.C. 636.
45. Media communications.
This matter is controlled by Local Rule 83.2, which the court and counsel are required to follow.

Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.
We sent out our third newsletter yesterday. Regular blog readers will already know all this stuff but I just like to note things like this here. You can view it on the web here.
I felt compelled to blog it because the delivery on it was actually rather poor so there is a good number of subscribers who just never saw it. We had many reports of it getting sent to spam and GMail reporting it as malicious. It went out to about twice as many people as last time yet got half the opens and a quarter of the clicks. Not a huge deal, we'll just be changing it up next time and sending a different, lighter email.
If you're a member of CodePen, you get the newsletter by default, unless you un-check that option in your Email Settings.

2009 was the bicentenary of the birth of the English writer, translator, critic and amateur artist Elizabeth Rigby, Lady Eastlake (1809-1893). Bringing together a comprehensive collection of her surviving correspondence, the Letters of Elizabeth Rigby, Lady Eastlake reveals significant new material about this extraordinary figure in Victorian society. The scope of Lady Eastlake's writing is wide and interdisciplinary, which recommends her as a significant figure in Victorian culture, giving rise to revelations about the ways in which different cultural activities were linked. Lady Eastlake lived for extended periods of time abroad in Germany and Estonia, and wrote an early work about her impressions of the Baltic, her subsequent writing took the form of reviews for the periodical press, including reviews of Jane Eyre, Vanity Fair, Ruskin, Coleridge, and Madame de Stael. She also wrote on women's subjects, including articles on the education of women. However, the great proportions of her publications are art-related reviews: she wrote one of earliest critical texts on photography and produced several essays on artists. The lively correspondence of Lady Eastlake not only contributes to a more holistic understanding of nineteenth-century culture, it also shows how a well connected woman could play an important role in the Victorian art world.

KFP at the Annual Meeting in Davos 2019 – A Complete Success!
Every year in January, Switzerland enjoys having another Summit amongst its peaks – not just in the connotative sense of the word. For the fifth consecutive year in 2019, the KFP team provided state-of-the-art technology and service for more than 100 events and installations during a four-day period. To expand meeting capacities at one of Davos´ hotspots Steigenberger Grandhotel Belvedere, as well as for the Hilton Garden Inn, KFP constructed 67 external pavilions and offices, including the technical equipment and infrastructure.All of them meeting the highest quality standards.
We are very proud to have again provided a first-class performance and to have received an outstanding feedback on our commitment to the renowned Annual Meeting in Davos in 2019: from top VIP talks and spontaneous "global streaming" solutions to press conferences, large events and panel discussions, we delivered services in all areas, aligned with the highest levels of security – professionally and reliably. We moved over 100 tons of equipment and installed more than 7 km of cables.
Essential success factors were the permanent availability and the concentrated deployment of our integrated teams at the location, which ensured a perfect interaction between IT, telecommunications, media technology, content know-how and participant management. This way, we were not only able to fulfill all of the requirements of our onsite customers and their top executives, but also the challenging expectations posed by high potentials and prominent guests from the world of politics and business – Consistently. Skillfully. Then and there.
Certainly our event experts could benefit from their many years of experience. But an equally important factor was KFP/CHANGE's integrated competence team, which has been developed and expanded continuously over the past five years. Thanks to this, our teams are able to master the increasing convergence of technical systems perfectly. The sustained success has strengthened our customer-centric and entrepreneurial orientation respectively.

For over 3 years, we have worked closely with the Burgundy School of Business both as a company – hiring interns to work with the EWBC, and as a research engine – helping us conduct field studies on various subjects. This year, Aymeric Dehont conducted a host of research for us, which eventually inspired him to create a paper on the fragile relationship between wine and social media. We appreciate Aymeric's hard work putting together his thoughts and trust you will share your feedback with him. Keep in mind this is from a very European perspective.
How to improve the use of social media in the wine business?
As a Masters student in Wine Business in Dijon, the regional capital of Burgundy, I've continuously questioned myself on many issues within the wine and spirits sector. Yet, one of the most debated subjects has been the apparent effectiveness of social media. After attending the EWBC – Digital Wine Communications Conference, I have come to under that the wine & spirits industry, in general, hasn't succeeded in its use of these new tools. Therefore, I wanted to get a better understanding on how to improve digital communication and what would be the ideal online strategy to follow.
This paper will provide a brief analysis of how social media is currently affecting the wine industry based on articles, marketing analysis and knowledge.
Social media and the impact on marketing
It is true that social media has attracted an inordinate amount of people over the last two decades and currently, almost everyone is using at least one of its platforms. In large part, this is because interaction between each other, and the community, has always been a basic need for humans, referring to the very famous Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid.
As observed in the Nielsen Social Media Report 2012, social media is mainly used when watching TV in order to interact and function as 'social care' for customer service. Approximately, 47% of social media users were actively involved in social care. In 2011, more than 80% of the Fortune 500 companies were using some form of social media to connect with consumers.
Companies that are using these tools efficiently are not advertising, but instead creating bonds between themselves and the consumer; thereby establishing loyalty. The customer isn't considered as an asset anymore, but as a person to interact with and to satisfy. Bear in mind that social media is made to connect remotely between humans, and being "connected" means interacting with each other. Advertizing is not an effective means to create a relationship with people, but rather a means to provide a straightforward message to the consumer without receiving direct feedback. 30% of consumers found advertising on social media annoying and only 25% are willing to pay attention to it, which proves that the use of social media is totally different from regular advertizing campaigns.

It will broadcast from the seafront with a free family event open to all visitors that includes a special seaside-themed medley by The One Show Choir, led by Carrie Grant.
There'll also be a Strictly-inspired dance class, a wildlife show and themed zones including history, sport, art and science.
Alex said: "The One Show Summer Festival will be two fantastic days at the seaside. I can't wait to get back to Weston-super-Mare again; I've only been once before and it was a scorcher of a day, so I'm fully expecting the same weather this year!"
The festival will run across August 6 and 7 with a live broadcast from the beach on August 7.

Intercrop Brinjal providing excellent returns..! #OrganicFarming
Intercrop Brinjal providing excellent returns..! #OrganicFarming
If any farmer invites him to his farm, Nammazhvar, the organic farming scientist, will try to pay a visit to the extent possible without fail. But even if it is an organic farming, he would not visit the farm where there is monocropping. Whatever the crop being cultivated, be it coconut, banana or vegetables, he used to emphasis that it should be a mixed or intercropping method.
So, most of the organic farmers used to cultivate various crops even if the land is small. If one crop fails the other one will save the farmer.
Besides, the nutrients required for different crops will be shared among them and there will also be minimum pestilence. Same benefits can be accrued with intercropping. The inputs provided to the primary crop including irrigated water will be utilized by the intercrops as well. This will reduce cultivation cost. Based on this principle, G Mani from Virudhunagar district, has been earning considerable returns from his 75 cents of land, cultivating Nadan banana with brinjal as intercrop.
His banana farm is situated in Kothangkulam village, situated 5 km from Rajapalayam to Shrivilliputhur road. The farm looks green amidst the cotton mills surrounding it. He was waiting for us based on the prior intimation about our visit.
Deep interest in organic farming
"My native is Rajapalayam. I am the first farmer in my family. After completing my +2, I joined cotton mill for a job. After six years I established a cotton waste grinding mill here in Kothamangalam village.
In 2006, I got introduced to Pamayan through my friend Kalidas from Kovilpatti. He only taught me about organic farming. Then I visited the farms of Gomathinayagam and Antonysamy of Puliyangudi. They too taught me more about organic farming. That made me committed more to organic farming.
Farming on lease land
Nearby my mill I found a piece of 40 cent land and I cultivated brinjal through sapling method following organic farming in 2007. They grew well, were tasty and of good quality. Hence I decided to go for vegetable cultivation. But I did not own a piece of land. At that time I took 4 acres of land from my neighboring place on lease.
From 2008, I started cultivating brinjal, lady's finger, tomato, papaya, spinach and banana". He continued his story of how he got into organic farming.
No pests by preventive action
"Including my lease land I have 4 acres and 40 cents in total. It is an alluvial and black soil. It's completely organic. Nadan variety of banana is cultivated in 40 cents. I also cultivated Nadan in 75 cents of land with green and round country brinjal as intercrop. Now brinjal harvesting has been completed. It's one month since I raised single saplings of country brinjal in a separate piece of one acre land. There is country papaya in half an acre and it is reaching maturation. In ¼ acre of land small onion is planted. Remaining one and half acre of land is awaiting planting of spinach and papaya.
People say that pest control is not possible with brinjal. But use of herbal insect repellents is helpful as a precautionary measure.
Country brinjal grew well with organic farming. My wife, Muthulakshmi, is the one who prepares all organic inputs like herbal insect repellent, fish amino acid, ginger, garlic, chili extract and buttermilk formulation.
Mani's income-expenditure sheet for cultivation of brinjal as intercrop in 75 cent land (INR)
Harvesting for 8 months by organic method
If country brinjal is grown as monocrop, we can harvest it for eight months. We can get brinjal in two months after planting and it will continue to give brinjal for another six months. I was harvesting for eight months when it was maintained as monocrop. Now, it is kept as intercrop with banana and therefore I destroy them after six months of harvest. Banana will provide fruits on seventh month and therefore the brinjal plant will not get sunlight.
Local sale
I don't get special price as it is organically grown. I send 25 kg of brinjal every week to organic shops in Chennai. The remaining is sold in Farmers' market in Rajapalayam and also to friends locally. The pest afflicted brinjal is provided to cattle as fodder". He explained about the yield and income through brinjal cultivation.
6,370 kg yield in 75 cents
"We can harvest brinjal from 60th day with country brinjal. I have harvested twice a week for 48 times. After removing pest afflicted brinjal I could get 6,370 kg. The price of it is from a minimum of Rs 18 to a maximum of Rs 38.
By that calculation, from 6,370 kg of brinjal sale I got a return of ₹1,27,400. After deducting ₹ 33,350 as expenses, I have got a net profit of ₹ 94,050. He felt contented with that.
More profit with intercropping
"Had I planted only banana I would have got returns only after 10 months. But I could get returns from 6th month because of brinjal harvest as intercrop.
Besides, with the help of inputs to brinjal the banana plants also were also able to grow. So, there is no considerable expense for banana but only for harvest and transport. In another two months banana will also reach harvest time. Therefore, the complete income due to banana is fully profitable. I could get daily income as it is a vegetable.
There is a local proverb that says 'even when crying keep ploughing'. A farmer should not be inactive. Even a foot of land is there you should plant a crop. Then only one can win as a farmer". He looked determined.

This is the way to cultivate
Here is a lesson as described by Mani with regard to the cultivation of banana with brinjal as intercropping in 75 cents.
Ssheeps should be kept for a week in the selected land of 75 cents. After keeping the land dry for two days plough the land with five plough twice and again allow the land to dry for five days. Followed by this using power tiller plough the land twice and again allow the land to dry for five days. Plough the land once again using power tiller and then lay channels for irrigation. With 6 feet gap dig pits with ¾ foot depth and ¾ foot length and breadth and allow the pits air dry for two days. Add a handful of mixed manure in each pit and fill it with soil. Plant the banana tubers, pretreated already, one in each pit at the centre. Do not irrigate the land as the brinjals need to be planted the next day.
For planting brinjal saplings in 75 cents 6000 saplings are required as intercropping. Next day, plant one month old brinjal saplings with 2 feet gap in between banana plants. Irrigate the land once in two days continuously for 10 days. Then continue irrigating it as required.
Once in every 15 days, spray 200 liters of Jeevamirtham extract and ground nut oil extract (one day soaked groundnut oil cake of 6 kg in 200 liters of water) on rotational basis, along with irrigation water.
Weed out the farm after 15 days of planting and spray 300 ml of herbal insect repellent mixed with 10 liters of water, using hand sprayer. On day 22, weed out the farm and strengthen the base of each brinjal plant by adding mixed manure with soil. On day 25, mix 300 ml of Panchakaavya and 50 ml of fish amino acid in 10 liters of water and spray it on the plants using hand sprayer.
On day 30, mix 250 ml of ginger, garlic and chili extract with 10 liters of water and spray it on the plants using hand sprayer. On day 35 and 70, once again strengthen the base of each brinjal plant by adding mixed manure with soil. Every week, spray ginger, garlic and chili extract and herbal insect repellent on rotation.
On day 35, fix up three light traps, one per 25 cents. Add 1 liter of water and 100 ml of kerosene in the tray provided with the trap so that the insects reaching out to the plants during flowering time will be attracted to the trap and get killed. In order to avoid beneficial insects getting trapped, keep the light lit in the evening between 6 and 9 PM only.
Brinjal will start flowering from day 40. During that period spray the mixture of coconut- buttermilk extract (300ml) with 10 liters of water. It will prevent the flowers from shedding off and also boll worms of brinjal.
After 45th day, young brinjals will emerge out. Soak 2 kg of groundnut oil cake in 6 liters of water and filter it the next day. Mix one liter of this extract with 10 liters of water and spray it on the plant using hand sprayer. This will increase the size of brinjal.
On day 55, there will be stem insects on brinjal. To control them, use a mixture of 75 ml neem oil, 75 ml pongamia oil, 75 ml of Iluppai (Madhuca sp) oil, 25 ml of kerosene and a small piece of Khadi soap in 10 liters of water, spraying on the plants. From day 60, brinjals can be harvested.
Seed treatment for banana saplings
To a drum of 200 liters capacity, fill it with 150 liters of water, 2 liters of Panchakaavya and, 2 liters of herbal insect repellent. Soak banana tubers in it for 15 minutes and then shade dry them for another 15 minutes. By treating the tubers as described root rot disease can be avoided. Banana plants will grow with disease immunity and also cracking can be avoided.
Coconut-buttermilk extract
Take 5 liters of fermented buttermilk and mix it with 5 liters of coconut water and keep the mixture undisturbed for two days. Now the extract is ready.
Herbal insect repellent
To a container mix 10 liters of cow urine and 5 kg of crushed neem seeds. Add to it 2 kg each of crushed leaves from papaya, neem, pongamia, nochi (Vitex) and custard apple. Also add 2 kg of cut Aloe with its peel.
Mix the content clockwise and anti clockwise, twice, in the morning and evening. This should be repeated for 7 days and the repellent is ready now. Filter the content and take 300 ml of the extract and 25 grams of turmeric powder, mix them in 10 liters of water. Spray it on the plants using hand sprayer.
Mixed manure for banana
Spread a polythene sheet on the floor. Add on it 200 kg of goat dung, 200 kg of decayed cow dung, 200 kg of ash from wood stove, 50 kg of groundnut cake, 50 kg of neem cake, 4 kg of Trichogramma viridi, 4 kg of Pseudomonas, one above the other in the same order. Spray on it 2 liters of Amudhakaraisal. Cover it with another polythene sheet and leave it undisturbed for 5 days. Then open it and mix it and manure is ready to be used for banana.
Cut the root tip
Before planting, cut the root tip of brinjal saplings. It will help the plant to grow more adventitious roots spreading sideways strengthening the plants. This will also help the plant to absorb water easily.
It is better to plant the saplings after soaking them in a mixture of 250 ml of insect repellent or Panchakaavya in 2 liters of water for 15 minutes.
Ginger, Garling and Green chili extract
Take ¼ kg each of the above and crush them using mortar. Add to it 4 liters of fermented buttermilk and soak it for 2 days. Filter it and mix 200 ml of the extract with 10 liters of water and spray it on the plants using hand sprayer. Instead of fermented butter milk, cow urine can also be used. And if it is cow urine it is better to have it soaked for 5 days.

|Dog Themed Quilt
I had Scooby Doo fabric, and of course, I love Scooby Doo, so I made this one dog themed. There is a dog at each corner, bone squares on a border, and a Virginia Reel in the middle. I thought a nice swirl would make it look sort of mysterious like Scooby Doo mysteries.
I'm also working on another Scooby Doo quilt that I will post once I've got it done.
|Quilt top
|Dog Quilt Square
|Scooby Doo Virginia Reel Quilt Square
|Scooby Doo Virginia Reel Quilt Square
|Bone Quilt Square
I used my ancient Quilt-Pro software that I got in the 1990's to create the design.
I think rather than using the templates for some of the pieces, stripping and cutting may work better/easier.
But I'm including the templates pdf for all anyway. And below are the template images.

China has recently embraced blockchain technology. While the government has voiced concerns over the use of crypto-currencies and banned all crypto promotion, China was mining over 80% of the Bitcoins in the world in 2018 and it is now the largest producer of crypto ATMs for export worldwide. Chinese private companies such as Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (BATs) have developed their own blockchain solutions, other independent companies such as NEO and TRON have developed decentralised networks in the margin of these government-run online giants. Some of these developments have direct applications in the realm of media and film.
Based on the Springer published book Online Film Production in China Using Blockchain and Smart Contracts as well as recent updated research, this talk will address the following key questions: How could such developments change the way films are financed, produced and distributed in China? How could these changes influence the creative industries beyond China?
