What Are LED TVs? Are they Worth the Hype?
LED TVs are simply LCD televisions with light emitting diodes (LEDs) to backlight the display. This is in contrast to CCFLs or Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lights in standard LCD televisions. The LED is a semiconductor device emitting visible light with the passage of electric current. The light in LEDs is monochromatic as opposed to fluorescent versions, resulting in fewer power requirements and more efficient conversion of power to light. LED is one of the longest lasting lighting technologies. Three types of LED technologies are edge lit, dynamic RGB, and Full Array. Each differs in terms of the positioning and placement of the LED. The most advanced are the edge-lit LED which are slim and feature localized dimming unlike Full Array LEDs. LED TVs are well worth the hype! They produce less heat, use less power and are known for brighter,sharper displays, thinner format and better contrast ratio. On account of their high definition picture quality and energy efficiency, LED TVs complement Blu-ray players as well. Edge as well as direct lighting results in different types of 40 inch LED TVs.
LED TVs offer comfort levels to consumers because they do not use mercury for lighting sets. LED backlighting changes screen thickness too. LED TVs weigh less and are slimmer, making it ideal for occupying less space. Easy to mount on walls or hang from ceilings, LED TVs are known for more realistic colors, wider viewing angles, and functionalities that make even the guests feel at home."
What are the Considerations when Buying 40 inch LED TVs?
"While shopping for an LED TV, factors that come into play include size, backlighting, costs, screen resolution, inputs and a whole lot more. Size is the key consideration first. The large TV size is suited to living rooms where there is viewing space, while 36-inch screens are suited for smaller rooms. Screen resolution is essential to note, with factors like whether it is interlaced or progressive scan (determining level of detail), differences in resolution (720 p or 1080i) and the rule of the thumb is, as screen sizes increase, the 720p resolution gives sharper fast moving pictures. Another critical consideration is that modern televisions come with numerous inputs including S Video, RBG, VGA. HDMI, and RFI coaxial. It is important to check the number and type of inputs on 40 inch LED TVs to make sure your devices are compatible.
More inputs means greater connectivity with accessories like the PC monitor, cable box, gaming console and DVD player. Local dimming and edge lighting are the two key considerations while purchasing LED TVs as well. Uneven back lighting can be a serious problem by creating hot and dim spots on the screen and changing the way viewing takes place, especially for a discerning videophile. Local dimming LED is means you need to pay more for the set. Edge lit TVs have a tough time maintaining contrast and black levels at side angles. As you move towards the side from the screen's center, check for changes in color and contrast. Color contamination should be watched out for. The digital tuner should have good cabling and choices you need to make range from features and specs, to wall mount or table top TVs. Check to see factors like whether the TV offers web browser capabilities, 4K resolution, and superior audio-visuals that captivate the viewer. 40 inch LED TVs need to considered in terms of all their features from the refresh rate to the contrast ratio for the big picture.

Apple's U.S. iPhone User Base Sees Slowing Growth in Q1 2019
Apple's estimated U.S. iPhone installed base saw little growth in the first calendar quarter of (second fiscal quarter) of 2019, according to new data shared today by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP).
As of March 30, 2019, the U.S. iPhone use base hit 193 million units, compared to 189 million units at the end of the December quarter, marking two percent growth quarter over quarter.
Apple's iPhone user base was at 173 million units at the end of the March 2018 quarter, for year over year growth of 12 percent, which is not bad, but not quite hitting the growth rates of prior years.
A year ago, the installed iPhone user base in the U.S. grew four percent quarter over quarter and 19 percent compared to the prior year, indicating a plateau iPhone user base.
CIRP's estimated U.S. iPhone installed base is based on estimated worldwide iPhone sales of 39 million, calculated from Apple's iPhone revenue and average iPhone selling price for the quarter ending in March 2019.
iPhone sales have slowed down, and in January, the decline in sales over the holiday period led Apple to make the rare move of lowering its expected revenue guidance. Apple also saw a dip in revenue in the second fiscal quarter (first calendar quarter) of 2019, bringing in $58 billion, compared to $61.1 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Apple has never provided a specific breakdown of the number of active devices in the United States, but earlier this year, the company said there were 1.4 billion active devicesaround the world. 900 million of those devices are iPhones.

Paloutzian; Crystal L. Park Guilford Press, By Slife, Brent, D. But demonic sorcery and Christian prophecy are irreconcilable pursuits. The preoccupation described results from the assumption that all details regarding Merlin set forth in this canto are meant to be read as authoritative and true. This essay will argue that Spenser sought to rehabilitate his Merlin to conform to Protestant doctrines so that this figure may facilitate uninhibited the genealogical encomium and celebration of Elizabeth as godly magistrate.
To do so, Spenser needed to distance his Merlin from the demonic and implicitly Roman Catholic details of the late-medieval texts. Must they? To push this inquiry forward, this essay foregrounds the singularity of Florimell. For few other characters in the poem so powerfully demonstrate the social consequences of seeing truth——and seeing true beauty——through the refractions of fiction.
This culturally-fashioned spectre haunts Florimell both before it is conjured and after it vanishes. In the Radigund episode of Book V, Spenser explores the gender dynamics of this trope, as the subjected body is male and the monarch, female. The narrative blends political domination with sexual conquest to demonstrate that compliance is not loyalty and violence cannot elicit love.
This essay explores how Elizabethan poets transform conventional gestures of self-deprecation to negotiate the competing demands of rhetoric, the classics, social status, and ethics. To concede or at least defer the question of evaluation opens up space for experiment, for what Breton and Spenser both refer to as newness. In so doing, these works draw upon a long literary and philosophical tradition that established tragic pity as the test case for debates over the moral and civic value of affective responses to fiction. The poem ultimately distinguishes between modes of piteousness that occasion reflexive, bodily responses and those that allow for cooler, more reasoned ones.
How do we account for the hiatus between the entry to Matthew Lownes and the belated publication in by the Irish antiquary, James Ware? This discussion suggests how the Christian allegorization of Folly in Proverbs 9 deepens the theological dimensions of the Mammon episode. For Irish writers, Spenser has become a nettle to be grasped, a stinging symbol of a fractured Irish history and a fractured literary tradition. But there is opportunity in the grasping. But less conspicuous Spenserian motifs and concerns resurface in unexpected ways in modern Irish writing, often at moments of literary or political crisis, enacting different kinds of concerns.
In Professor William Blissett sent out letters to a hundred living poets, mostly those represented in the Faber Book of Modern Verse and its sequel, the Faber Book of Twentieth Century Verse , asking if they still read Spenser and regarded the Spenserian tradition as a living one. He received forty replies, which suggested the following: 1 Spenser was well above the horizon for many poets, modern as well as traditional, at a time when he seemed to be at the nadir.
Spenser responds to republican discourse primarily as raising a set of moral arguments about time, action, and the politically structured society. This article considers the significance of two competing versions of matter represented in the opening canto of The Faerie Queene. The first, given shape in the tree catalogue I. I argue that Spenser utilizes these two versions of matter to embody the problem of literary production at this opening juncture of his epic. While one version offers a link to the literary past even as it threatens sterile imitation , the other embodies the promise of creating something new, while highlighting the danger of chaotic formlessness.
In this essay, I investigate the curious persistence of the carcass of the final dragon in Book I of The Faerie Queene. This interpolation of natural philosophical discourse temporarily suspends the allegorical program of the poem, drawing attention to the interpretive protocols of Renaissance allegory and to the challenge posed by the dead body to modern theories of allegorization. Both texts negotiate the problem of implementing foreign rule, whether poetic or political, by appealing to a major intellectual and political reference point of the period: the concept of custom.
In the Letters both Spenser and Harvey treat custom as the mechanism that makes the foreign familiar, drawing upon a widespread classical and early modern understanding of custom. At the same time, however, they appeal to and subvert the sixteenth-century English legal discourse of custom as it was developed in the realm of common law, wherein custom is figured as a form of resistance to foreign imposition, especially in the context of the Norman Conquest.
As a result of his exchange with Harvey, Spenser foregrounds the difficulty, even futility, of deploying language, with its vexed and layered etymologies, in the service of a political project. Spenser and Malory both tell stories in which admirable people contradict themselves, acting in ways that they condemn elsewhere"—not because of human weakness, but because of a necessary pragmatism.
Particular situations force them to descend from their earlier idealistic pronouncements about chivalric conduct in order to deal with the actual world. After Malory has his Arthur require in the Pentecostal Oath that his knights fight only in just quarrels, he puts him in a position that forces him to break his own rule. Spenser, too, puts his Arthur in a position in which, speaking to Sir Turpine, he contradicts his earlier prescription against fighting in wrongful quarrels in stating that fighting in a wrongful quarrel is less bad than cowardly behavior VI.
Artegall further silently helps the turncoat to win the Lady Flourdelis, giving aid to the man whose lack of secure principle he has criticized"—an action based on a necessary pragmatism in late sixteenth-century religious politics. All three heroes must accommodate their ideals to the demands of the actual world. Given the prominence of infants in The Faerie Queene "—both literal children and questing "infant" scions of distinguished families"— disappointingly little criticism has had anything to say about them.
About this book
Even more disconcerting, most scholarship on the subject has focused almost exclusively on readings of separation anxiety and alienation; more extreme examples paint generation and reproduction themselves with broad brush strokes the color of disdain. Childhood becomes a tragicomic parallel to Hobbes's memorable specter of the chaotic condition of humanity before establishing a government: "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and [of course] short.
While Spenser's infants may suffer from alienation and what contemporary psychoanalysis calls separation anxiety, those developmental struggles are crucial steps in the transformative process of the quest. The next generation is born into grave conflict, but generation itself is a good and necessary thing that imbues progeny with the power of their ancestors and recalls the necessity of future re generation in the constant imperative of dynastic renaissance.
Spenser's foundling children and infant knights are avatars of "th'eternal brood of glorie excellent" that will continue the allegorical struggle for the triumph of virtue when the current generation is dead and gone. This essay analyzes the lions of Amoretti 20 and the first book of The Faerie Queene. The sonnet depends upon the comparison the speaker makes between the behavior of his beloved and that of the lion, according to the received natural history of Spenser's time. The first simile of Spenser's epic compares Redcrosse to a lion and thereby introduces a series of lions and leonine characters running throughout Book I and embodying different attributes and associations of lions"—and, by extension, different attributes of Redcrosse, Una's proper companion, for whom the other characters stand in, whether Una wants them to or not.
Spenser expects his readers to interpret the significance of the animals in a cumulative, multifaceted manner, rather than as a simple one-to-one correlation based upon a single trait at a local moment in the poem.see
Song of Solomon
Edmund Spenser resisted two forms of material constraints on poets: their reliance on historical circumstance for poetic subjects or "matter" , and their reliance on patrons for material support. This article uses three poems that comment on these constraints to argue that Spenser used the mode of complaint to address the generic decorum of occasional texts, or poets' choices of genres to suit their social and historical circumstances: "The Tears of the Muses," "The Ruins of Time," and the October eclogue from The Shepheardes Calender.
Milton suffers, or at least seems to suffer, a lapse in memory regarding the plot of The Faerie Queene , Book II, when he refers to Spenser in Areopagitica. Quite to the contrary, Guyon has been separated from the Palmer through the intervention of Phaedria in the preceding canto. Milton's apparent mis-remembrance is hardly inconsequential: it has encouraged erroneous suppositions about the distinctive character of Spenser's romance epic, about Milton's relation to his acknowledged Spenserian "Original," and about his reading of allegory.
In brief, my argument will be that Milton's memory of Guyon's foray into the Cave is best understood as mnemonic compression or appropriation, and not as mnemonic weakness or error. Its major basis will be an interpretation of this foray itself. These images come together in the writings of Augustine, in particular his Confessions and his commentary on Psalm In the Confessions Augustine conveys carnal understanding and rejection of the redemptive simplicity of the Scriptures by the metaphor of a fall out of the nest of faith.
An angel's prayer for the rescue of an unfledged chicken in Book XII of the Confessions is strongly echoed in the passage of Guyon's faint. This metaphorical fall appears in the Palmer and Guyon's combination of presumptuous overconfidence in ethical precepts and despair over mortality in the opening of Faerie Queene II, which betrays a regressive carnality opposed to Pauline spiritual renewal. In Augustinian terms, the Word of God and sufficient ecclesiastical support for the "little one" in the faith provide the proper path to self-control through hope in the promise of eternity.
This essay analyzes a sequence of descriptions of art objects near the end of the edition of The Faerie Queene.
Valentine's Day 12222: Who was St Valentine and what is the true meaning behind February 14?
In the first room of the House of Busirane, Britomart encounters a tapestry that, as the romance's longest ekphrasis, provides an immersive experience of art. The second room, however, treats art differently: No longer animated by the viewer's imaginative involvement, these objects appear to be mere objects, antiquarian refuse from a dead past.
I argue that this progression from immersion to detachment parallels a larger historical development in the period toward epistemological objectivity. By embodying imaginative forms in antiquarian objects, Spenser distances his readers from what he perceives as the imagination's dangers. But he is ambivalent about the resulting detachment, as an analysis of his final metaphor of the Roman hermaphrodite statue shows.

The Meaning of Science Word
If you think about the significance of communication with your child, you would feel that parents would be asked to take classes. Since culture is what we anthropologists should study, and since it's our intellectual property, we've spent lots of time attempting to define what culture is. GAME FOR SCIENCE players are even permitted to exhibit the treasures they've gathered in their very own digital museum!
Following your child poses a question for her science fair project, she is going to be requested to generate a hypothesis. Most poems are related to the main science curriculum. There's no greater teacher than experience.
No one would like to feel like they require a math masters at least to understand an item. Simplicity of use is the least of your worries in regards to blockchain engineering. Before going in this standard stuff you have to first master the fundamental of machine learning etc..
You might have been introduced to bits and parts of chemistry before now, but you're likely to learn more specific data in the 7th grade. In Data Science jobs, you are going to have to publicly communicate your project wants and insights to non-technical folks so confident public speaking is essential and the manner in which you take this is the area where communication skills arrive in. If you wish to reach your targets and go beyond momentary success, you must be inclined to spend the work each and every moment.
The Argument About Science Word
Simply take a walk through the woods and you will become aware of a busy community of living things. The point is to determine how various molecules inside materials are arranged to create the observable outcomes. There are typically a few items that stump the large part of the kids.

On the flip side, if you're facing any difficulties with the coding part, there are nowadays lots of Exploratory Analysis tools out there on the market to do data analysis. Big data is a lot of data with value. Close varies depending on the way you decide to measure distance.
It was too fantastic to be true, therefore we made predictions on the test collection. Therefore, the extra value derived from this consensus should exceed the expense of performing exactly the same computation in a centralized method. As it happens, that variable proved to be a critical element in a real-world scenario.
To prevent the late submission penalty you will have to appeal through the exceptional circumstances process. It may be used to come up with new technologies, treat diseases, and deal with many different sorts of issues. Moreover, once an asset is issued, there's almost no chance to check the identity and trustworthiness of the issuer.
When you have identified the parameters that you think have the best influence on the score of your model you'll should make sure they get optimized. You then select a subset of characteristics that will result in a high-performance model. Once a model was tuned, we require a style of exporting that model to a location where it can be deployed in the actual world.
The War Against Science Word
It's possible to alter the size of the puzzle and the directions of the way the words are put in the puzzle. Also, maybe you could post some intriguing uses of the words within this thread. Attempt to concentrate just on the words for which you may develop a few associated words.
It's a little bit of a mouthful, but it is a far better approach to spell out science. It's also important to ask them why things happen and the reason why they think things do the job. The very first is simply that you are unable to imagine it in any meaningful way.
Some of them are just for fun, but a topic may also introduce essential vocabulary which each kid should possess. There's a complete handbook if you want to find out more. Along with the normal menu bar at the very top, there's a status bar at the bottom and many other customizable toolbars just over the text entry area.
You have a lot of options to create your word wall fit your classroom. Making flashcards is an opportunity to use new vocabulary in an extremely creative way. Check with a native English speaker to produce sure you're using the word correctly and possess the correct grammar.
Why Almost Everything You've Learned About Science Word Is Wrong
With time, more specialized options will get available. Anything in science may be revised if we find out the prior solution wasn't good enough. Please be mindful that these resources haven't been reviewed by CPALMS and there might be a charge for the use of some of them within this collection.
As far as I am aware, all of these recommend a particular method of structuring and writing code in their API doc. But ultimately, all a programmer have to do is to compose a code that's simple to check and doesn't repeat itself. Your skills have multiplied tenfold and you hardly even need to think of what buttons you're pressing, it simply happens.

On the basis of this theory, the impacts of supply side shocks (productivity and oil income shocks), are anticipated on the fluctuations of the real wages. The dominant effect of supply side shocks in determination of cyclical fluctuations of real wages is confirmed by the single equation estimation and the use of Kydland and Prescott pattern (1990) in interpreation of correlation coefficients. Impulse response functions show that the supply shocks increase real wage and employment in the short run while decreasing them in the long run. In the short run, this is because of marginal product increase (productivity shock) and external income increment (oil shock), but for the long run, this is because of substitution capital for labor (productivity shock) and price increase of imported inputs (oil shock). Results indicate that, for simultaneous attainment of employment increment and poverty reduction in the agriculture sector, one should use policies that augment foreign exchange instead of productivity increasing ones.

Mohammad Moghimi author text article 2009 per This research is basically intended to focus on identifying the effective organizational factors on intrapreneurship development in Iranian Agricultural Extension Organization (IAEO). A descriptive-correlational research was implemented to conduct the study. Statistical population was comprised of all IAEO agricultural extension experts. To draw samples, one province out of each regional category of the country was randomly selected and 250 out of 1145 extension specialists were (also randomly) selected from the six selected provinces as based on Cochran's methodology. A well constructed questionnaire comprised of two parts, first: 40 questions to assess the intrapreneurship development (Morris & Kuratko, 2002), and second: 69 questions dealing with organizational factors of direct role in intrapreneurship development was established. Validity of the questionnaire was analyzed, and the reliability coefficient calculated for the questionnaire, using Cronbach's alpha of ?=0.93 for the first and ?=0.906 for the second part). SPSSWin15 was utilized to process the data. Applying Sign Rank Test indicated that the status of the organizational factors was lower than the standard one and below the expected line. In other words, these factors were not intrapreneurial. Applying correlational analyses revealed that intrapreneurship development had a positively significant relationship with organizational factors (P=0.01). Also multivariable regression revealed that 56% of variance in intrapreneurship development was determined by: leadership style, organizational strategy, organizational control system and organizational culture. The remaining variance comes from other variables and organizational factors that have not been investigated in this research. Results finally showed that an organization with the appropriate demanding factors would be more successful in human resource management and as well can better stimulate intrapreneurship development Iranian Journal of Agricultural Economics and Development Research University of Tehran 2008-4838 40 v. 1 no. 2009 https://ijaedr.ut.ac.ir/article_20058_c82695598cf24dc73b7331b097d6493a.pdf Relationship Between Outreach Activities with Research Productivity and Teaching Performance: (Case Study: Agriculture and Natural Resources Campus, University of Tehran) Yousef Hejazi author Hesameddin Gholami author Ali Asadi author text article 2009 per The present research work was carried out to assess the relationship between outreach services of a faculty member, and his academic tasks of teaching performance and research productivity.

The statistical population for the study was constituted of the rural boys (15-28 years) of Kermanshah Township (N= 17544). A multistage sample of rural youth was selected (n=291). The findings indicated that 37% of rural youth had a high tendency to migrate to urban areas. Using factor analysis, the reasons for the migration were reduced to four main factors, namely: economic, infrastructural, cultural, and social. Based on factor analysis, the main methods to reduce the migration rate (of rural youth) are economic, infrastructural, cultural and social course of actions. Regression analysis revealed that attitude toward agriculture as an occupation, age, educational level, travel to urban areas, inter-personal relations, and family structure are predictors of the tendency toward migration. It is recommended that any rural development intervention program should be based upon rural youth's tendency towards migration, and its subsequent influencing factors.

The research population consisted of 72 farmers who had participated in FFS and 346 who had not participated in FFS, selected through randomized sampling method. The methodological approach of the study was twofold: descriptive-correlative and causal-comparative. Validity of the instrument was established by a panel of experts comrised of senior faculty members in agricultural extension and education department, and of research committee advisors. Reliability analysis was conducted by using Cronbach's Alpha formula the result being 82%. The results indicated that 63.9 percent of the farmers who had participated in FFS adopted the techniques to a large and a very large extent, while only 13.3 percent of those who had no participation in FFS adopted the techniques (to a large, but not very large extent). The results of the multiple regression analysis (stepwise method) revealed that the variables of knowledge of biological control, relative advantage, level of mechanization, rice farming experience, social participation, the number of contacts with extension agent, the extent to which farmers used mass media and information sources described a variation of 75.9% of the adoption of biological control by rice farmers, (farmers who had participated in FFS). Also the results of the multiple regression analysis (stepwise method) revealed that the variable of knowledge of biological control described a variation of 83.1% of the adoption of biological control by rice farmers who had not participated in FFS.

Mahmood Hoseini author Gholamhosein Abdollah zadeh author Ardavan Gharaghani author text article 2009 per Greenhouse cultivations are of special importance in agricultural development because of their utilization of artificially controlled production factors and artificially created environmental conditions. Proper planning towards a desirable development of this system of agricultural production demands a thorough knowledge and understanding of the factors hindering its soud development. Towards this end, the present study was carried out as a case study in Isfahan to determine and pinpoint the limiting and inhibiting factors in the way of ''in greenhouse production'' development. The research is a kind of an applied one, conducted through a survey method. Questionnaire and interviews costituted the means for data gathering. The statistical population was comprised of all the greenhouse entrepreneurs (361) of Isfahan Province who had succeeded in attaining operation licenses by the end of 2002. One hundred and twenty greenhouse units were selected from 10 counties (in each of which 10 greenhouses were already in operation) of the province as the statistical sample units. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a team of horticultural experts, selected faculty members, experts in agricultural extension and development as well as experienced greenhouse owners. Reliability was confirmed through Cronbach's Alpha (estimated as 0.73, 0.91, 0.86, 0.77 and 0.81 for 5 different sections of the questionnaire) SPSS and Excell software were employed to analyze the gathered data. The limiting factors hindering the development of greenhouse cultivation units were respectively found out as economic, support (governmental), administrative laws, infrastructural, and finally environmental and technical as based upon their corresponding coefficients. The four factors of: support, infrastructure, administrative laws, and economic factors were pointed out as determinants of 66.67% of the variance among the hindering factors.

Mohsen Seyedan author text article 2009 per Potato is one of the most essential nutritious food products for many people in the world. It is very important in the food basket of the Iranian families as well. Ardabil, Isfahan and Hamedan are the main potato growing provinces in Iran. Hamedan province ranks first with respect to yield. Regarding the existing high potential in this province, an economic evaluation of this product would be indispensable. The aim of this study is to investigate the economic of scale in Bahar (Hamedan) area. The farmers are thus devided into three groups as according to usage of machinery during different farming stages. For each group, the cost fnuction was estimated and while using the function coefficients, the economic of scale was applied. The cross sectional data for the present study were collected through a two stage cluster sampling method. The sample included 155 potato farmers. The results indicate that the optimum size for a profitable potato farm, is more than the size presently cultivated by farmers in all the three groups. Accordingly, an increase in the area under cultivation by farmers is recommended to achieve an effective measure in improving the total factor productivity as well as cost minimization.

All the member cattle breeders of the cattle-breeding cooperative in Hamadan county (N= 550) were included in the study. Through use of simple random sampling method, 75 respondents were selected. The study was a descriptive-correlational, survey research. A questionnaire was designed and employed to gather the required data. Cronbach's alpha was computed to assess the reliability of the questionnaire, its rates being determined as: 0.92, 0.81 and 0.79. Face validity of the instrument was determined by faculty members of the department of agricultural extension and education, University of Tehran. The results of the t-Test for a comparison of the farmers with positive vs negative attitudes towards their participation in the activities of the "farmers' organization" showed that there were significant differences observed as related to the variables of: economic situation (cattle number, extent of irrigated and rainfed lands), precedence of membership, level of social participation, and an existence of a positive participation in the farmers' organization. Also the results of the multivariate regression revealed that 77.0% of variance in the level of participation (membership and getting involved in the activities of the farmers' organizations) was determined by the following four variables of: "leadership style", "economic situation", "farmers' motivation" and an awareness of the advantages of their participation.

One of the most important disadvantages of such a method is that there is only one optimum solution for a given objective function and constraints set. Another method named nearly optimal linear programming has been developed for solving the problem. This method can simultaneously create more than one nearly optimum solution. Therefore, the probability of accepting a plan by farmers will increase because of diversification of the plans. In this study, the method has been explained and applied for a farm located in province of Fars. As indicated by the results (by 1 to 10% deviation from maximum affordable profit) it is possible to find very diverse and different nearly optimum combinations of the crop products.

Motivation is thought as the most important factor affecting farmers' participation in agricultural development programs. Many theories have been postulated in motivation field and abundant research projects accomplished in this area. McMillion's theory was recognized as appropriate for an analysis of farmers' participation in irrigation management and thus it was used in this study. The research was conducted to determine the factors affecting farmers' motivation for participation in irrigation management and as well to look for the existing obstacles. The research was of a survey type, carried out at Doroodzan dam irrigation network in Fars province. Multi-stage stratified random sampling was employed to select 270 farmers as the research sample size. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. A panel of experts confirmed the face validity of the instrument, and a pilot study conducted to assess its reliability. Results indicated that among five modes of motivation, "trading motive" bears the greatest effect on farmers' participation in irrigation management. Attitude towards Water Authority personnel, attitude toward personnel of Extension and Agricultural Service Center, varied contacts with Extension and Agricultural Service Center, sociability, prevailing attitude towards the performance of the Village Islamic Council, and as well family size had significant correlations with farmers' motivation. The results also indicate, from farmers' perspective, that improportionate water distribution among farms, dissatisfaction with Water Authority operator(s) as well as high water fees and charges were the main problems and obstacles in the way of farmers' participation in irrigation management. Finally, based on the research findings, applicable and appropriate recommendations towards increasing farmers' participation in irrigation management are presented.

Extension agents' performance is one of the indices of extension services' performance. Extension agents' performance has been assessed in different such ways as: study of their supervisors' view points, study of agents' themselves reports and as well studying farmers view points. It is believed that the appraisal method used in this survey–studying farmers' view points –is the most reliable and best coincides with the philosophy and principles of extension. This survey is aimed at assessing farmers' satisfaction with extension agents' performance and the factors that affect it. This survey is attended to through a descriptive one. The dependent variable, namely: farmers' satisfaction with extension agents' performance-is assessed by means of several questions which attend to the different dimensions of agents' activities. The survey was impelemented in Pishva District in Varamin (Tehran Province). Sixty farmers were selected through categorical sampling method, with a final 56 questionnaires being analyzed through Spss/Win software. Results indicated that the extent of farmers' dry lands as well as their experience in farming had significant relationships with their degree of satisfaction. Regression equation revealed that the education level is a related factor, too. In short, the effective factors affecting farmers' satisfaction were: scientific-operational skills of the extension agents, their communicational skills and finally their individual skills, respectively.

Counsellor H. Kennedy City of Mississauga
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
Subject: Management of Cawthra Woods
The Federation of Ontario Naturalists (FON) is a non profit organization representing approximately 16,000 direct members and 78 affiliated clubs and groups from across Ontario. Since 1931 the FON has been an advocate for the protection of natural areas and wilderness and has been committed to increasing public awareness around the importance of such areas.
The FON has just become aware that the Mississauga Parks Department is in the process of logging an existing stand of urban forest, referred to as the Cawthra Woods, located south of the QEW and east of Cawthra Rd. It is our understanding that this 21 hectare forest exists in a relatively natural state and is recognized as a regionally significant Area of Natural and Scientific Interest with several rare species of flora.
As this area represents an extremely rare ecosystem in an urban setting where the potential for public education and appreciation is tremendous, management of this forest must have the goal of maintaining the naturally occurring ecosystems allowing their dynamics to function in a relatively wild manner.
We understand that the trees removed are to be sold for firewood and furniture. The value of these large older trees would seem to be much greater standing than cut. Mature forests are very appealing to the public, and a naturally functioning ecosystem can provide a rare educational opportunity in an urban setting.
Ecological considerations must also be accounted for. The diversity of a woodlot is greater with large old trees providing habitat for a variety of wildlife including cavity-nesting species dependant upon these trees. The species composition of this woods is apparently typical of that which would be found there naturally and regeneration of these species can occur without outside influence, i.e.. thinning. Site disturbance and thinning also promote the establishment of non-native species. We also understand that the plans for this area include the planting of several carolinian species. The rationale for this direction eludes us. Given the current significance of the area, it seems appropriate to allow it to remain in its current state.
As mentioned above, the FON has only recently become aware of this plan and many questions remain unanswered. There appears to be little to be gained by the removal of these trees and much to be lost for the people of Mississauga and the rest of Ontario. The Federation of Ontario Naturalists would appreciate receiving a detailed outline of the plans for this woods and a detailed scientific rationale for this direction, as well as any species inventories and technical information which have been done.
The FON is in support of a moratorium on the removal of trees from this woods until such time as the most publicly and ecologically beneficial direction of management for this area has been determined.
I believe that the FON can be helpful in this matter and we would appreciate being involved in future meetings. I understand that this matter is presently being considered and as such look forward to an immediate response. Please call with any information or questions at 416 444-8419.
Sincerely, [ signed by ] Chris Lompart, Forestry Coordinator

Daily GPI
Regulatory | Infrastructure | NGI All News Access | NGI The Weekly Gas Market Report
FERC OKs Dominion's Leidy South Project
FERC has granted a certificate for Dominion Transmission Inc.'s (DTI) Leidy South Project, which would serve new and existing power generation facilities with natural gas traveling from the Leidy Interconnect in Clinton, PA, to points in Loudoun County, VA.
Panda Stonewall LLC, Virginia Power Services Energy Corp. Inc, and Mattawoman Energy LLC have signed binding agreements for all of the project capacity.
The project would involve modifications to six existing DTI compressor stations in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia, and the construction of a metering and regulating station in Virginia. The estimated cost is $209.66 million [CP15-492]. The project received a favorable environmental assessment from Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff earlier this year (see Daily GPI, March 31). DTI filed its application for the project last year (see Daily GPI, May 15, 2015).
The Commission said it received comments on the project from the Allegheny Defense Project; the Chesapeake Climate Action Network; the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (Network); Loudoun County, VA; and the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Allegheny commented on the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of the Leidy South Project; upstream natural gas production in the Marcellus and Utica shales; segmentation of connected, cumulative, and similar actions; and the need for a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) for natural gas infrastructure projects. The Chesapeake Climate Action Network urged the Commission to consider the project's effects on climate change. Virginia DCR filed comments on natural heritage resources near the project facilities, and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries commented on wildlife, habitat, and stormwater controls. Loudoun County filed comments on groundwater, noise, and public safety.
"We have explained in the past that there is no Commission plan, policy, or program for the development of natural gas infrastructure," FERC said in its order. "Rather, the Commission acts on individual applications filed by entities proposing to construct interstate natural gas pipelines.
"Under NGA section 7, the Commission is obligated to authorize a project if it finds that the construction and operation of the proposed facilities 'is or will be required by the present or future public convenience and necessity.' What is required by NEPA [the National Environmental Policy Act], and what the Commission provides, is a thorough examination of the potential impacts of specific projects. In the circumstances of the Commission's actions, a broad, regional analysis would 'be little more than a study…concerning estimates of potential development and attendant environmental consequences,' which would not present 'a credible forward look and would therefore not be a useful tool for basic program planning.'
"As to projects that have a clear physical, functional, and temporal nexus such that they are connected or cumulative actions, the Commission will prepare a multi-project environmental document."

Antonio Brown now says he wants to play in the NFL again
Following Josina Anderson's report that the NFL was going to meet with Antonio Brown amid the investigation involving him, the disgruntled wideout exclaimed that he had no interest in playing in the NFL again. Just a few hours later, Brown now says that he wants to play in the NFL again.
I'm just very frustrated right now with the false allegations and slander to my name. I love football and I miss it. I just want to play and I'm very emotional about that. I'm determined to make my way back to the NFL asap
— AB (@AB84) November 7, 2019
Originally, the veteran wide receiver stated that he was "never going to play in the NFL again" in a profanity-laced tweet. Of course, Brown didn't waste much time to try and clean up the mess he made by taking to social media to take back what he said.
Brown is currently under investigation by the NFL after Britney Taylor, a former trainer of Brown, filed a sexual assault lawsuit on the All-Pro wideout. Taylor and her representatives have already met with the NFL to discuss her side of the story.
On the other hand, Brown is now scheduled to meet with the NFL next Thursday. This will be the first time he's spoken with the NFL since the investigation began in September. The last time that Brown was on a football field, he was catching passes from Tom Brady.
The 31-year-old wide receiver seemed to be on track to be a contributor for the New England Patriots in 2019. Instead, Brown is sitting in free agency and will likely remain there until his case is decided upon.
In the event that Brown's name is cleared (as he believes it will be), there are going to be teams who will express interest in his services. Despite the interest, for him to extend his playing career, he will undoubtedly have to tone down his antics off of the field.

Climate change projections predict an increase in the number and intensity of precipitation (rainfall and snowfall) events as a result of climate change. At this time we don't have local data about extreme weather and its impacts because extreme weather events have not been common, more frequent and extreme storms (including winter storms) and flooding have the potential to impact all residents in our region. Climate-related extreme weather events also include the likelihood of drought, which occurs as a result of warmer temperatures and a lack of precipitation. Drought also has the potential to affect the health and wellbeing in our region. Individuals with mobility issues, mental illness, chronic diseases, and those who are socially isolated, may have an increased sensitivity to these extreme weather impacts.
The health impacts associated with extreme weather can be direct and indirect. Direct health impacts occur as a result of direct exposure to a climate-related extreme weather hazard, and can include injury, illness, psychological trauma, and death. Indirect health impacts are health effects that can occur as a result of impacts to resources, health systems, or infrastructure from extreme weather events. These indirect health impacts can include: food and water borne illness from food and water contamination; mold-related illness due to mold exposure from precipitation events; anxiety, stress, and/or depression related to infrastructure damage (e.g damages to homes and businesses); and exacerbated illness and injury due to lack of access to health care.
This infographic from Public Health Ontario describes direct and indirect risks related to extreme weather events and highlights that certain vulnerable populations are at greater risk for negative health outcomes.
