A few years ago Samsung introduced very thin large-screen LCD-TV sets with LED edge-lighting and thin light-guide plates (LGPs). The company earned its place in the infamous marketing hall of fame by ignoring reality and calling these sets "LED TVs," which has confused TV consumers and salesmen every since. With these thin, elegantly designed sets, Samsung created a reason for people to buy premium TVs and enjoyed a surge in market penetration that lasted until the rest of the industry caught up — about 9 months. Thin was in.
But as LEDs became more efficient and less expensive, manufacturers began to see advantages in returning to the old style of placing the backlight's lamps directly behind the LCD, but with a significant difference. The old stack of several cold-cathode fluorescent lamps would be replaced by a full array of LEDs. This would also be a return to the old, thicker, "light box" style of backlight, which LGPs had seemingly relegated to the dustbin of history. Would consumers accept thicker TVs after the industry had spent so much time selling them on thin ones, or would Tei Iki's old flat-screen insight carry the day?
Tei Iki? In the waning days of CRT monitors, Tei Iki was assigned the task of squeezing as much lifetime as possible from Sony's then-large CRT and monitor operation in San Diego. Iki was fond of placing a flat-screen LCD monitor on a desk next to a nearly-flat-screen Sony Trinitron CRT monitor, and aligning the screens so they were in the same plane. "See," he would say. "All screens are flat." And then he went on, motioning to the very different depths of the monitors, "The rest is just infrastructure." How much infrastructure will consumers accept? And what will they get in return?
A couple of years ago, LCD-TVs with full-matrix LED backlights began to appear in the North American market as low-cost sets. (See photo.) One big saving was the elimination of the expensive LGP. And to keep costs really low, a minimal number of LEDs were used in the array. As a result, these sets generally had less luminance than edge-lit models.
But, as was very well-known at the time, the LEDs in a full-array backlight can be controlled in groups to significantly enhance the dynamic range of the images displayed. Thus, set makers could use the same backlighting technology for value-priced and premium sets, depending on the number of LEDs and the sophistication of the "local area dimming."
And that's what Vizio is doing as it rolls out its new 2014 M Series, FHD, smart LCD-TVs. The premium M series sets have their LEDs controlled in up to 32 separated zones, with the 70-inch having 36 zones. Only the 80-inch still uses an LGP. (The 80-inch also features local-area dimming since a somewhat limited version of this technology can still be implemented with edge-lit LGP backlights.)
The more economical E series also uses full-array backlights and local dimming, with the local control maxing out at 18 zones.
Although it's not really part of this column, Vizio is not offering 3D capability on any of its 2014 sets. Chief engineer Ken Lowe has always said that Vizio achieves its very competitive pricing not by compromising quality, but by including only those features consumers value. Vizio feels that consumers' lack of interest in 3D is so profound that the cost of 3D capability should be directed to other features.
Getting back on topic, AmTRAN, which has licensed the JVC name for direct-view TV sets, announced this week the introduction of a 32-inch HDTV model in its JVC Emerald Series. The EM32FL is intended for the growing number of people who inhabit small apartments but still want a full-featured TV. The $269 (MSRP) set features full-array backlighting. Since AmTRAN claims a four-million-to-one dynamic contrast ratio and "silky black levels," we can assume the set is using local-area dimming.
Is this enough performance and cost-saving to justify a fat TV? Well, they really aren't that fat. Vizio's 65-inch M-class is a whopping 2.28 inches thick. Yes, an LGP edge-light could cut that to less than an inch. But I feel Tei Iki leaning over my shoulder, saying, "It's just infrastructure."

"Life begins at forty" I heard that a lot growing up and I observed many young people misinterpret this simple phrase, assume they have time and use it as an excuse not to try till forty, i guess 🙂.
Life Begins at Forty is a 1932 American self-help book by Walter B. Pitkin. This book was very popular and influential. It was the #1 bestselling non-fiction book in the United States in 1933, and #2 in 1934, according to Publishers Weekly. More an extended essay and exhortation than a detailed self-help book in the modern sense, the general thrust of the book is that, given the current conditions of the world, one could look forward to many years of fulfilling and happy existence after age 40, provided that one maintained the proper positive attitude. (Source: Wikipedia)
Here's a quick Google result:
Origin: The notion that 'life begins at forty' is a 20th century one; prior to that it was more accurate to say 'death begins at forty' as most people didn't live much beyond that age. Life expectancy in mediaeval England was around 25 years and only reached forty sometime around the turn of the 20th century. By the 1930s many, in western societies at least, could expect a decent spell of reasonably affluent retirement, free from work and the responsibilities of childcare. Household gadgets like washing machines and vacuum cleaners were becoming more widely used and had begun to relieve women's drudgery and offer them increasing amounts of leisure time as compared to their Victorian mothers."
From my gatherings, majority interpretations of this phrase "life begins at forty" are that at forty it is assumed that:
- You have probably figured out what you want to do with your life, career-wise.
- You are possibly married or in a relationship and hopefully happy or aware of what you want out of a relationship.
- You should have your family and the children are out of the baby phase and you're starting to get your life back.
- Financially you are stable and you are more confident about your financial position.
- Physically you have got the time to take care of yourself and your health.
- You have a better Lifestyle, capable of relaxing, taking time out and having vacations.
Age is a state of mind, even though at a certain stage in life it is expected that we have learnt & experienced more. At age 1-20years its simply growing up and learning the basics of life, phase 20-40years is mostly work, trying to get a career and a source of livelihood. After Forty and onwards, society believes you are settled, more comfortable in life and an age where you have "everything figured out'. Does that mean all this can not be achieved at an earlier age?
I believe the phrase should perhaps be "A better life begins at Forty" rather than "Life begins at forty" because life officially begins from the day you step into this world and cried out loud as a baby. I understand that life is a consistent learning curve and experience but I actually think the expected better life at 40 is dependent on every decision you make for yourself and those made on your behalf by your guardians (as a child) as you journey through life. To a great extent, an experience may become less relevant as the state of the world changes and there is a new experience that we are required to adapt to as humans.
Sadly, a large number of young people misinterpret this phrase to mean you can't do a lot at your younger age, you have enough time and it is never late for you to discover your purpose, since you are not yet 40. With this as an excuse, they are scared of failing and as a result they end up doing nothing but procrastinate, loose time and end up regretting lost time.
As young people, it is better to try now and kill the fear of failure. In fact, I will say "we should fail on time, learn from our mistakes on time then go on and be great in life" – Parklins.
So far, I have come to understand that regret is indeed one of the worst feelings to experience as human. I often hear people say I had the Uber idea, the Jumia idea or Stutern idea, Hello Youngie (maybe now old)! you didn't do sh*t about it then, this is how talk is cheap without execution. I always recommend doing what you love ❤ or are passionate about. "If you are confused and not sure what you love, try out all the things you are interested in until you discover your purpose"- Parklins. Time is the most important of all treasures.
You think you have lost nothing from indulging in a practice just for the money without love and passion, Yes you gain knowledge and experience along the way but you still have lost an important time that should have been spent gaining mastery in that which your purpose lies.
At the hour of regret, you begin a struggle to catch up and probably now have more distractions which will make it herculean for you to achieve mastery, catch up and keep up. My point simply is, "life begins at 40" can mean whatever the 39-year-old needs it to mean to help them feel good about the milestone! that does not mean that 'whatever' can not be at an earlier age. Summarily, "Whatever it is that you love ❤, Do That, Do it incredibly and stand out" – Parklins.
Many thanks to Chijioke Ifenkwe Esq for editing this piece.
🙂 Cheers,
Parklins (drops mic)

Mrs Awosika is passionate about mentoring young men and women and encouraging them to live their lives with passion and purpose.
Mrs Awosika started her own furniture manufacturing company, Quebees Ltd, (now known as the The Chair Centre Ltd) at the age of 25.
She sits on several boards and is a former President of Women in Management and Business (WIMBIZ).
Mrs Awosika is passionate about mentoring young men and women and encouraging them to live their lives with passion and purpose.
She spoke about mentorship during the Tara Fela-Durotoye (TFD) conference on Thursday, March 9, and below are seven important things she said:
Learn relationship management: It's important to manage your relationship with your mentor properly. Endear people to you with your character. You will get more from a mentor who feels personally connected to you.
Don't abuse access: Have respect for the access your mentor gives you. Respect the boundaries laid down by your mentor.
Listen: You must listen to your mentor. Listen and apply the advice you are given or their efforts will seem wasted. Give value for the time spent on you.
Look for opportunities to give back: Your mentor might not need money from you, but there's always a way to make yourself useful to them. Don't just be a taker, aim to contribute too.
Be prepared: Prepare yourself to be acceptable to a likely mentor. Make sure your attitude, language and comportment appeal to the person who you would like to be mentored by.
Lay down boundaries: It's okay to have a mentor of the opposite sex, but boundaries must be set. Don't allow the relationship to become a casual one, keep it official by meeting in public and formal settings. If a session has to be held in your mentor's home, his/her family must be present. In this case, it is also wise to develop a relationship with your mentor's spouse.
Learn from books: It's not always possible to be directly mentored by the person you look up to, but you can learn from books. Reading people's stories and learning from them also counts as mentorship.

Provided by Ginny Sherlock, renowned local attorney, civic activist, and former Associated Press editor, this essential, must-read primer on the Martin County Sales Tax Referendum is a real eye-opener:
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE "ONE CENT" MISNOMER: The proposed sales tax hike is not one cent. It's not a penny. It's an increase from 6% to 7% on each dollar you spend on items you purchase every day, like clothing, toiletries, paper products, restaurant and fast-food meals.
DO THE MATH: The proposed hike from 6 cents to 7 cents on the dollar is a 17% increase. The sales tax surcharge is expected to raise $23 million for the County each year for 10 years. But at the same time, Commissioners have promised to roll back the FPL franchise fee, which is now 6% of your monthly electric bill and raises about $9 million annually. Reduced to its lowest level, the franchise fee will generate less than $1 million. Sales tax revenues of $23 million accompanied by an $8 million reduction in franchise fee receipts produce a net increase of $15 million in revenue for the County. It's mathematically inaccurate to claim that the County will have $23 million in increased sales tax revenues to spend on infrastructure if Commissioners keep their promise to reduce the FPL franchise fee. (1)
READ THE ORDINANCE: The ordinance that implements the sales tax hike allows County Commissioners to spend 65% of the proceeds on "infrastructure" and "public works" projects. There is no requirement that any of the proceeds be used to repair crumbling roads, failing bridges or backed-up drainage systems. "Infrastructure" is any building, project, or vehicle that may last 5 years or more. Up to $10 million can be spent to build any single project, so long as it is a "public works" facility, that is, a facility owned by or used for the benefit of the public.
REMEMBER THE ALGAE BLOOMS: While the ordinance requires at least 35% of sales tax proceeds to be spent on projects to improve water quality, there are dozens of projects the County has identified as water quality projects even though they are not critical to a comprehensive program to reduce toxic discharges from Lake Okeechobee. Taxpayers should not pay to install utility lines miles outside the Urban Services Boundary to serve properties owned by developers while thousands of homes inside the USB remain without public water and sewer service and pose a genuine threat to water quality.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Read the implementing ordinance, not just the 75-word ballot question. Go to www.martin.fl.us/salestax and click on "Sales Tax Ordinance" to see how the County proposes to spend your money. The election is August 29. Commissioners decided to spend $110,000.00 on a special election for the sales tax issue rather than to wait for the next general election when more voters would likely participate. Urge your friends and neighbors to contact the Supervisor of Elections at www.martinvotes.com to request a ballot so you will have a voice in this decision.
(1) The County could face another $7 million loss in annual real estate tax receipts during the 10-year lifetime of the proposed sales tax hike if voters approve an increase in the homestead exemption on the 2018 statewide ballot.

November 11 at 4.40 pm - Research seminar by Lucy Chernykh (Clemson University) "Audit and Fraud: Evidence from Bank Failures"
Venue: Shabolovka st. 26, Room 3211
On Friday, November 11 at 4.40 pm International College of Economics and Finance will hold the Research Seminar.
Speaker: Lucy Chernykh (Clemson University) <Curriculum Vitae>
Theme: "Audit and Fraud: Evidence from Bank Failures"
Venue: Shabolovka st. 26, Room 3211
Abstract: This study explores the external audit function ability to limit fraud-related bank failures in opaque banking sector. I exploit extremely high bank failures rates in the Russian banking sector during the most recent post-crisis period, including bank failures due to accounting and criminal fraud related cases, to establish two sets of results. On the bright side, I find that higher audit quality is associated with lower likelihood of bank failures that are accompanied with accounting misreporting claims. On the dark side, I find that more subtle and more severe cases of fraud in failed banks, including concealing the true eroded value of risky assets' portfolios and engagement in criminal activities, remain largely undetected by external auditing firms. I also find that "honest" bank failures, i.e. banks failures for purely financial reasons, are unrelated to audit characteristics. Collectively, the evidence suggests that although bank audit is a valuable tool in resolving asymmetric information in an opaque banking industry, it cannot substitute for the thorough regulatory examination of problem banks.
Everyone interested is welcome to attend!

The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Poirot's First CaseLarge Print - 2014
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
I made a commitment to read all of Christie's Poirot novels in chronological order. This being the first in the series, as well as the only Christie novel I have ever read, here is my takeaway:
--There is a very large and often times confusing cast of characters. While they are all given brief introductions in the beginning, I actually had to pull up a list of their names and descriptions online in order to keep them straight.
--The same could be said for the massive layout of the interior of Style as well as the town. Christie was kind enough to include a map of Styles, but I disliked having to constantly flip back several pages in order to understand a reference that was made later in the book.
--Poirot uses French words and phrases continually in his dialogue, and I constantly had to use Google Translate in order to discern what he meant.
--On top of the French language, several old, European, and medical terms are used throughout the entire novel, and I would not have been able to understand or enjoy the book as much without the help of the internet.
--Poirot's over observance and ability to deduce every minute detail comes off as ridiculous and unrealistic at times. While I understand that he is a fictional character, I wish that Christie had made him more human and relatable.
--The novel being told from the viewpoint of Hastings versus Poirot was frustrating at times, as I did not always understand Poirot's reasonings and reactions until the VERY end of the novel. Instead of being suspenseful, I found it drawn out and annoying to be left in the dark for so long.
--The overall storyline is fantastic and memorable. As a huge fan of murder mysteries, the many twists and turns did not disappoint.
--I learned several new French words and phrases.
--Poirot is thorough and explains in great detail every twist and turn. You are not left to wonder why certain characters could not have committed the crime or how every piece of evidence fits before moving onto another theory. When it is finally revealed whodunnit, no stone is left unturned.
--Usually when watching mystery TV Shows/Movies or reading suspense novels, I am able to deduce early on whom the culprit(s) is. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of this novel, as I was completely off base--but overall satisfied and happier with Christie's ending.
--A quick read, one that I would enjoy reading again in the future and seeing live action adaptions.
Having read a few novels with Poirot I had recently decided to try and read all of them starting at the beginning. Poirot makes a delightful debut to the readers of the series. Although you may have your own suspicions as to the guilty party Agatha always leaves you wondering to the end if you are in fact correct. Very enjoyable whether you have read none of the series or if you have read a few. Very enjoyable.
A good mystery with delightful characters. Poirot is beyond absurd and Hastings is as stuffy as can be. It made me smile.
Remarkable work for a novice writer. Was very curious to read the two endings and see the difference between thrm.
This is my second Christie novel, and I really enjoyed it. With many plot twists, new discoveries, and an unsuspected reveal at the end, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. The detective, Hercule Poirot, is a quirky, charming, and immensely likable character that provides a much needed change to the monotonous english detectives that I so often find in other mystery novels. Truly a great book!
This story introduces Poirot and it's no disappointment with its full characterizations and a complicated plot entailing surprises and a twist ending. Having picked up random copies of Christie, it was fun to recognize how much Poirot has evolved in later novels.
The great aspects of this book are that it's a fast read and keeps you guessing until the end. The problem is it bumbles a lot, and knowing the answer to the mystery makes Poirot seem incredibly erratic. If his actions fit a lot better with the explanation later, I could have accepted it more. That said, it's not a bad debut book. Some of the cultural references were lost on me (and likely most modern readers, since it was written almost a century ago), but it didn't hold me up.
I was curious to read Agatha Christie's first Poirot novel, which was published in 1920. And I was not disappointed. Midway through the book I was surprised to realize this was one of her first novels… I think Mrs. Christie was born a writer: there is nothing in this book that betrays the novice. She worked as a dispenser in a hospital during WWI, hence, I believe, her knowledge of poisons and the presence of the young nurse's character in the book. Here you will find the first description of Hercule Poirot, the "little man" with a gigantic intellect and an even larger ego. Inspector James Japp is also first presented to the reader, "a little sharp, dark, ferret-faced man"—physically different from Philip Jackson of the Agatha Christie's Poirot series, Japp also does not present any of the irritating and almost unintelligible cockney accent Jackson sported. Most definitely this is a must read for any Agatha Christie fan.
Although not a mystery fiction fan, I felt that my reading palette could not be complete without delving into the classics of the genre. My honest reaction was to roll my eyes periodically throughout the novel at the overstated obliviousness of the secondary protagonist (also the narrator) and his failure to grasp the clues given by Poirot, the hero of the story. It all felt very artificial and unoriginal. I didn't find the book to 'pull me in' at all, but it was easy enough to read that I didn't need a lot of motivation to continue. The ending is somewhat satisfying, but I wouldn't read another Agatha Christie novel. I must give credit to the unexpected ending (much more unexpected than I expected, even) that made me appreciate the cleverness of the plot.
A great book, I really enjoyed it. Agatha Christie never ceases to amaze me with her brilliant plots. Definitely worth a look! Also, if you're not familiar with David Suchet's Poirot on BBC, check it out! He is an outstanding Poirot on screen.

Gosh, I am writing about eating. I love to eat and I know I carry some unneeded weight with me because of that. Those darn love handles will simply not disappear even during my training for a marathon. That is so wrong in my opinion, but I guess it is proves that I love to eat some good food. As a matter of fact, I am actually a "junkie" for bread, but not just any type of bread. I am talking about high quality, fresh baked bread – not the fluffy stuff you get at your local supermarket. I grew up in Germany and the bakeries over there are simply awesome with all the different types of bread and pastries that they make. That is one part I might be missing about not living in Germany anymore, but then again – there are solutions to this problem. [Read more…]

I am Hungry
Today is one of those days. I feel hungry since I got up this morning (4.10 AM). As always I had started my day with eating a Banana and having a large glass of Flax Milk. Then I went to Kosama for my morning workout. I had a protein shake (Muscle Milk) right after and about 45 minutes after the workout I had a bowl of Oatmeal with Raisins. Usually this carries me through the morning until lunch time, but on some days I get burst feelings of being hungry. [Read more…]
Add Cardio Workouts to Your Marathon Training
It is 7.26 AM right now and I am at work. I had a 5.00 AM workout at Kosama this morning = Cardio Workout. Cardio at Kosama means high-intensity workouts like sprinting, tuck jumps, power lunges, speed skaters (in-place), and many many more forms of
torture physical exercise. There are no weights involved and the overall goal is to train your cardiovascular system. Each high-intensity training unit is about 1 minute followed by 15 seconds of rest. However, during the rest you are being motivated to stay active by doing a boxer shuffle. [Read more…]

ROCKING HORSE RANCH in Riverside County is busy "breeding" high-styled mounts for the toddler set. Built to last long enough to grow into heirlooms, they are handcrafted from southern mountain pine.
A custom-order Ranch pony features the child's name and birth date branded beneath the mane (the same spot where a real registered Arabian would be branded). Rather than paint her rocking horses, master builder Marie Crain generally stains them a rich, nut brown, though she is willing to match the hue to other furniture.
All the trimmings are intact--including a flowing acrylic yarn mane and tail, genuine leather reins and a comfortable vinyl saddle. Prices begin at $45 for the 18-inch table-model version. Among the ridable models, a 25-inch rocking horse sells for $115, a 29-incher for $135, and a 38-inch size for $165. For those rocking-horse aficionados who like them more classical, a bit of Victorian painting--flowers and ribbons--can be added ($250 for the 38-inch model).
Recent additions to the Rocking Horse Ranch line include an 18-inch carousel horse ($60) and a 21-inch rocking horse lamp ($65). And ambitious sorts can order a 38-inch rocking horse kit ($115).

And this was my take on the challenge. Of course I had to also throw the Stampin' Up! medallion stamp into the mix. Love that stamp more than life itself. Well ... nearly as much. As stamps go I love it a lot.
Also used some SU ribbon, which I cut down and frayed, and some computer generated text.
Head on over to the Mojo Chickensoup blog to see what the other girls have cooked up :)

In a collaborative project funded by the USDA, Michigan State University, Cornell Small Farm Program and the University of Maine teamed up to provide listeners with the latest research results in reduced tillage (RT) tools and tactics, integrating cover crops, managing residue, understanding pest management and attracting beneficial insects and controlling diseases and weeds. The final episodes of a 3-part webinar series provided listeners with the opportunity to interact with specialists in the field.
Presenters of the program included professors and specialists Anu Rangarajan, Director of the Small Farms Program, with Cornell University; Meg McGrath, Cornell University; Organic Farming Specialist Vicki Morrone, Dan Brainard, Zsofia Szendrei and Sam Hitchcock — all with Michigan State University; and Eric Gallandt and Bryan Brown, with the University of Maine.
Promoting and advancing reduced tillage in organic vegetables on small farms and its effect on bio-control was highlighted in the webinars.
It is proven that conventional, intense tillage degrades soil structure and creates compaction restricting plant roots. As a result many small farmers are experimenting with RT.
Strip tillage and cover crop management were focuses of Rangarajan's presentation. "This is a restricted width tillage system that we've been testing in organic," Rangarajan said. "It's been commonly used in the mid-west. This is a system that has been used on both large and small farms and across all types of commodities."
Rangarajan emphasized strategies to incorporate strip tillage into small vegetable farming and how challenges may be overcome.
Strip tillage is a form of RT that is used to reduce the intensity, frequency and depth of tillage and the area of soil disturbed over time, by changing equipment and adjusting techniques. It targets rows to be planted, while leaving surrounding soil undisturbed. The principle, Rangarajan said, is to leave one- to two-thirds of the soil undisturbed, while focusing on the planting zone. Vertical tillage below the planting zone will break up compaction, allowing crop roots to expand, accessing more nutrients, and there will be no tillage between crop rows.
Rangarajan said a core goal of RT is to build soil health, "To really focus in on organic matter retention and soil health and quality."
Other goals include improving soil's water-retention use — capturing rainfall which is retained in the soil and available for crop growth.
"Another interesting benefit," remarked Rangarajan, "is that reducing tillage in some of these strategies, like strip till, can actually make it more efficient to prepare your fields in the spring. So, it can improve farm labor and fuel use efficiency, because many times your field can be prepared and ready for planting, with one pass as opposed to the three or four passes when you're doing full-width, intensive tillage. So, that's another advantage — and goal often — for transitioning to these types of systems."
Another reported advantage is that plant growth and yields often are more stable and resistant to challenging weather events. More rapid draining has been noted with storms and heavy rains.
With drought, crop roots are able to sustain themselves and thrive longer, as they are able to access soil moisture that has been retained. There is also less soil erosion.
Rangarajan said in the end, you want to make sure that you can achieve long term productivity of your farm while using RT methods. A question organic farmers ask is, "Can we do this in organic and maintain yields that we see with intensively tilled systems?"
Although the overall commitment is to enhance soils and ensure soil quality, productivity and profitability must be maintained or boosted by RT methods to keep farms viable.
Reducing tillage is just one strategy that promotes soil health and is the combination of this with other strategies, such as perennial forage rotation and adding compost, mulch and other soil amenities, is encouraged by the team.
"When you cover crop or you reduce tillage, all of those are going to provide an improvement in soil health over time. When you start to stack these practices or layer them, and you combine them, you see greater improvement of soil health," said Rangarajan. "Our challenge is not just to change the tool we use to do tillage, but to think carefully about how we integrate all of these practices together in a way that's manageable and provides a solid and sustainable crop yield and crop growth."
Challenges discussed include biomass interfering with preparation, fertility may be restricted, and it is difficult to cultivate when working in narrow areas. "These are some of the barriers that we know exist."
Rangarajan said there are times when intensive tillage will be necessary.
Integrating and managing cover crops in strip tillage may be challenging, especially in organic systems. Cover crops can become weeds. Residue build up can impact planting and harvesting methods.
"Adapting strip tillage for organic production requires careful crop planning."
The time to consider cover crops for next season is now.
Cover crops experimented with for small farms in strip tillage programs are rye, crimson clover, and hairy vetch. These have been experimented with alone and in combination with each other. Results vary depending on soil type and condition — which vary greatly. It is always wise to test your soils before seeding.
Equipment for strip and zone tillage that provide the accuracy required may not be readily available at a cost small farmers can absorb.
"Cultivation of the in-row zone is challenging, especially in reduced tillage systems."
Farmers have become extremely creative by developing their own devices by adapting and modifying pieces of whatever equipment they have around the farm.
"There's been a lot of interesting equipment developed because of strip tillage," Rangarajan remarked.
Brainard, Hitchcock, Gallandt and Brown discussed cultivation for RT systems, including chisel plows, field cultivators and the Yeomans plow, and other "innovative in-row cultivation techniques for managing weeds in reduced tillage crops."
Core components typically include cutting coulters, deep shanks, hilling coulters, and rolling baskets.
Cutting coulters cut through crop residue, breaking up clods and pushing rocks out of seedbeds. Deep shanks till soil in narrow strips and may also break up subsoil compaction layers, operating up to 20 inches deep.
Hilling coulters are used to "hill" soil over areas tilled by shanks, limiting loss of moisture.
Rolling baskets break up soil clods, creating seedbeds.
Strip tillage is becoming more popular with growers as it easier to implement than changing to no-till. Reduced tillage improves soil health over time, while reducing costs.

Bruce Springsteen was left "crushed" when he was diagnosed with clinical depression.
The 66-year-old rocker has spoken openly about his struggle with the mental illness and particularly how it affected him around the release of his 2012 LP 'Wrecking Ball', which includes a song titled 'This Depression'.
In his forthcoming memoir 'Born to Run', he writes: "I was crushed between 60 and 63 to 64. Not a good record. Not a good record."
Bruce - who has three children with wife Patti Scialfa - also discussed about how his 63-year-old spouse has dealt with his illness during their 25 year marriage.
He wrote: "Patti will observe a freight train bearing down, loaded with nitroglycerin and running quickly out of track. She gets me to the doctors and says, 'This man needs a pill.'"
And while Patti finds it uneasy reading about Bruce's mental health struggles, she accepts that by writing about his issues it acts as a form of therapy for him.
In a join interview with her husband for the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine, Patti said: "If I'm being honest, I'm not completely comfortable with that part of the book, but that's OK.
"That's Bruce. He approached the book the way he would approach writing a song, and a lot of times, you solve something that you're trying to figure out through the process of writing - you bring something home to yourself.
"So in that regard, I think it's great for him to write about depression. A lot of his work comes from him trying to overcome that part of himself."
The 'Hungry Heart' hitmaker also discusses his father's battle with depression and how it impacted on their relationship in the book.
He told the publication: "You don't know the illness' parametres. Can I get sick enough to a where I become a lot more like my father than I thought I might?"
Bruce's 'Born to Run' memoir is out on September 27.

While many events here are being held in front of half-empty arenas, beach volleyball was a complete sellout on Thursday night. I paid 40 Euro (about $50) for a ticket from a scalper, but I was just happy that I didn't have to pay a cover charge and listen to a bouncer warning me not to touch the girls.
Not to imply that the athletes are scantily clad or anything, but even the bar manager at Hooters would refuse to serve them.
True, the men wear long, loose-fitting shorts, tanktops and baseball caps when they compete. But the women wear little bikini bottoms and jog bras. I know this will sound incredibly sexist, but I was really pulling for the Norwegian pair on Thursday, on the slim chance that they would celebrate a victory by taking their tops off.
The action in the sand is always intense.
And yet, all that skin still isn't enough for beach volleyball. Oh, no. Just so that you can't possibly get bored, there is also the bikini dance team, which runs onto the sand to huge applause during every break in the action. They make the Laker Girls look like an Amish quilting circuit.
The bikini squad dances to a bad mix of songs pulled off bootleg Jock Jam CDs and old LPs stolen from your weird uncle's collection. Here is a partial playlist from Thursday night: "Uptown Girl;" "Centerfold;" "Doo-Wah Diddy;" "Proud Mary;" "YMCA;" "Volare;" "Respect;" "Hey Ya;" "Tubthumping;" "Booty-licious;" "A Little Less Conversation;" "That's the Way (I Like It);" "Crocodile Rock;" "Satisfaction;" "Tequila;" "Hot Stuff;" "Give Me Some Loving;" the themes from "Aquarius," "Rocky," "Friends" and "Austin Powers;" "Iko-Iko;" "The Blue Danube Waltz;" and the particular crowd favorite, Barry Manilow's "Copacabana."
Okay, Jim Caple's wink-wink, nudge-nudge sexism aside, that's one damn fine mix they were playing at the beach volleyball.

Song: Idle Stranger
Artist: Miccoli
Genre(s): Adult Alternative Pop
Miccoli, a band based in the UK, make it to Songperk this week with their single Idle Stranger. Screaming of Indie Pop, and bearing resemblances to the likes of Oh Wonder, the mellow vocals soothe as much they deliver. Appealing to the heart, the song banks largely on its very ambient-like production for its sound, and it doesn't disappoint – even a little Coldplay-esque at times. The harmonised vocals are a huge bonus to the track, and score brownie points. With the subtle flowing sounds and arrangements, Idle Stranger makes for a very personal listening experience, set apart by its originality.

Coming right on the heels of Valentine's Day, it looks like Manchester just got a big kiss on the lips from the Percent-for-Art Program. A large sculpture will be installed in front of the Hull Street Library. The Public Art Commission will hold two public meetings to gather input from the community and to share information about the project.
For all of you who may not know, the city council back in the 90's appointed a Public Art Commission to administer a Public Art Program. The program ensures that art will have a place in public spaces throughout the city with the participation from communities during several stages of the process. A 1% allocation for the art comes from the city's capital budget for new or renovation projects with budgets over a certain amount.
So Manchester, it looks like we've been handed an opportunity to showcase our passion in a meaningful way through the use of artistic expression. I encourage you to participate and let your creativity flow! Here are the details from the City's Eventbrite invitation:
"There will be two free meetings and everyone is welcome. Please come to an informational meeting to hear about an upcoming call for public art for the Hull Street Library. Public Art program staff and members of the Richmond Public Library will be there to answer your questions about the project and the process."
Click here to register for 1st Meeting for free – February 28, 2017 – 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Click here to register for 2nd Meeting for free – March 4, 2017 – 1:00 – 2:30 pm
Artists, community members please attend with your passion, voice, enthusiasm, and questions! Information on what you would like this sculpture to represent needs to be obtained from all of you so that a meaningful Response for Qualifications/Response for Proposal can be put together with your information and sent out to artists following these two meetings.
"The City of Richmond's Public Art Program is dedicated to a public art selection process that engages neighborhood residents, artists, community and civic stakeholders in an active and productive dialogue to articulate and represent the community's shared vision as well as aspirations for the future of Richmond as a thriving creative city. Public Art can influence the quality of life for all of Richmond's residents and consequently contributes to our community and economic development by creating a sense of pride in our neighborhoods as well as adding an element of beauty. The Public Art Program strives to develop public art that reflects our history and culture, while also celebrating our shared vision and aspirations for the future. We endeavor to showcase inspiring artwork in a diversity of artistic styles by regional, national, and international artists."
I can't wait to participate, hope to see you all there Manchesterites! xoxo

If you're looking to play paintball in Oxford, we recommend the following locations:
Quintessentially British, the town of Oxford attracts thousands of tourists every year from both the UK and abroad who come to see the Oxford University grounds, the Alice in Wonderland teashops and other quirky buildings. Yet for those who prefer a more exciting way of life, Delta Force Oxford has two fantastic centres nearby to facilitate what is the ultimate adventure day out – to the south, the Reading paintball centre and the Milton Keynes paintball centre to the north.
These five-star venues are open nearly 365 days a year, through all types of weather conditions (player safety will never be compromised, mind you) and handily, the sites are located near major highways – no more confusing windy country lanes!

text: 26 January 2009CITY boys are increasingly spending their redundancy cash on going under the knife to boost their chances of getting a new job, figures have revealed. The trend, dubbed �City severance surgery�, saw a surge of almost 10 percent in facelifts for men in the last three months of 2008. Thousands of workers in the Square Mile were laid off over the period and fuelled the cosmetic surgery boom, according to The Harley Medical Group. Facelifts cost more then �6,000 while liposuction, another popular procedure, will set an overweight City slicker back �3,000. The Harley Medical Group director Liz Dale said: �Our clinic has seen a decline in City boys using their bonuses for surgery. Instead, this market has been replaced by City severance surgery. �City bankers are using their redundancy packages to rejuvenate their appearance for the challenges they face in securing a new job.� Other figures show that operations to eradicate the condition known as �man boobs� increased by 44 percent last year.Male breast reduction was almost unheard of five years ago but 323 British men had their �moobs� removed in 2008. And one in 11 botox procedures were carried out on men last year � 3,004 compared to 2,881 in 2007.

Savings Guide
EcoSwitch rated by Choice magazine
It can be difficult, sometimes, to figure out who's telling the truth in the marketplace and who's just trying to sell you something at any price. After all, not everything that's for sale really works as advertised or as well as claimed, and we've all had the unfortunate experience of falling for some well-done patter and being separated from our money for little gain.
Luckily, in Australia we have Choice – The People's Watchdog, which offers up reliable and independent reviews of products so that we can make up our own minds and shop with an educated eye. That's why we were extremely excited to see the EcoSwitch reviewed in Choice – because we knew they would recognise the inherent value and quality in the product, the simple logic of its power saving benefits, and the cumulative environmental benefits the product offers. And sure enough, Choice saw it all, clearly, with a rave four star review.
Save money and save energy
Choice's overall takeaway: 'Ecoswitch is a relatively cheap and simple product that can help you save money and energy.' Naturally, we agree wholeheartedly and it's gratifying to see your own convictions mirrored in an objective and rigorous review like this.
Of course, no one gets through a review in Choice too easily; they considered all angles of the product, noting that the light built into the EcoSwitch in order to make it easier to find in the dark actually does exactly what we're fighting against – pull power from the wall at all times! While we admit that having a device that allows you to turn it off at the wall doesn't give you any way to turn it off at the wall is kind of funny, Choice goes on to note that they measured the amount of power this tiny light draws and concluded it was insignificant compared to the amount of power the EcoSwitch can save you. Whew!
Choice also noted one of the benefits of the EcoSwitch we ourselves sometimes forget to go on (and on) about: it makes it a lot easier to turn things off. Instead of having to reach around the back or struggle with a million wires every time, our power saving product makes it as simple as hitting a single switch to turn off any number of devices. That adds convenience to the long list of EcoSwitch benefits, which include the ability to eliminate standby power, reduce electricity and lower bills.
Personal responsibility
What's really interesting about this rave review is the point that Choice makes about personal responsibility: the EcoSwitch isn't a device that does the work for you. It makes the work of saving power easier, yes, but you still have to actually use the EcoSwitch. You have to set it up wherever you can benefit from being able to turn it off at the wall, and then you have to actually hit that switch every night when you're done using your appliances and devices. If you don't bother to actually hit the switch, then it doesn't really matter how many EcoSwitches you set up, or how many appliances you attach to it – it won't do you any good. It's an excellent point.
We think it's safe to assume, though, that the people who purchase an EcoSwitch are already concerned about standby energy and their personal carbon footprint. Our customers are already conscious about the predicament the world finds itself in and are already committed to being a part of the solution, and so have the motivation to put in the work required. Plus, we're confident that once people see the impact the EcoSwitch has on their electricity bills, they won't need any reminding to use it.
We can understand a healthy scepticism when people tout their own products as useful and beneficial to both your personal household as well as the world at large. That's why we're so proud to have appeared in the hallowed pages of Choice, with a four star review no less – because it's an objective opinion that recognises the brilliance of a simple idea.
Buy an EcoSwitch and start saving now!

My life feels jam packed at the moment. I always like to keep myself busy but in the past I have found myself wasting time with the likes of bejewelled blitz when I should be doing something constructive. I'm glad to say that this blog has changed that and I am squeezing everything in that I can. These days going into work (the one that pays!) is my respite.
Yesterday I said I had another idea for the story I had thought of. I have decided it might serve better as a playwright and I started it last night. My hope is that it can be used by the local amateur dramatics group Maskers. They have there own studio space so it could be put on their as a one act play. Would be great if they could so I will put it forward for consideration once I have finished it.
I also came across another short story competition via a fellow tweeter.arp It is with Harper's Bazaar Magazine. It is for a 2000 word story but there really isn't very long to enter. Entries are by post and have to get there by the 12th April so not long to go at all. Really fancy entering this one but wish I had spotted it earlier. If I come up with any ideas though I will get something sent.
Tonight I am going to an Erotica Writing Workshop at The Art House in Southampton. Should be interesting as I have never been to anything like this but hoping it will be helpful.
Better get back to it! Hope everyone is having a good April Fools Day (No April Fools included!)

Music animation - Euphoria
Inspiration behind these visuals:A video about wanting to escape reality by being in another world and having the feeling of euphoria. So much inspiration was taken from so many different video games, super mario odyssey, legend of zelda, sonic, metal gear solid, pacman. What made me originally want to make this animation was super mario odyssey. I've been playing that game over the christmas break nonstop and it's so amazing that i felt like making a video based on it haha.
Bringing you beautiful instrumental visuals, 2D original animations, and story lines.

|1,076 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
The Finca has a fully equipped kitchen, complete with electric oven and gas hob, microwave, cooking utensils, and a fridge freezer and separate fridge. The sitting room is cool in summer and a cosy retreat in the cooler months and has a wood pellet burner complete with a supply of pellets. There is seating for up to 6 people on two sofas, one of which folds down into a double bed. There are two bedrooms, one with en suite and a door that opens up onto a separate seating area for two, which is ideal to sit and watch the sun rise. There is also another large bathroom area with toilet, sink and shower and has a separate utility area for the washing machine.The second bedroom is upstairs and has two single beds and bedding to be used as either single or a double option. The upstairs bedroom has stunning panoramic views of the mountains. Bedding and towels are provided for up to 6 people. The terrace is large with plenty of seating complete with table and 6 chairs. There are also 6 sun loungers for the pool area and an outside BBQ.
Tinca Finca is set in an idyllic location overlooking the surrounding countryside. It is a charming rustic Finca which has been sympathetically restored to a high decorative standard. It boasts a beautiful garden on a number of levels, leading down to the private pool. Guests are welcome to pick the fresh oranges, lemons and almonds from the trees in the garden for breakfast and sit on the large terrace overlooking the three whitewashed villages or perhaps take shade under the almond tree on the lower level and watch the world go by.
The property is only a kilometer from the historic village of Archez with its attractive stone walkways and Roman bridges and the area is prime for walkers who wish to visit the national parks or simply take in the views of the Sierras Almijara and Tejeda mountains. Horse riding and mountain biking is also available from Canillas de Albaida which is only a 5 minute drive.
Competa is another attractive moorish town and is a beautiful place to visit to walk around and has a number of restaurants, bars, banks with ATM's as well as a medical center and supermarkets and numerous other shops. Once in Competa, it is recommended to park up in the main square and walk to the main plaza where you can enjoy tapas in beautiful relaxing surroundings.
If you wish to venture further then the coastal towns of Torre del Mar, Torrox and Nerja are only 30 minutes by car, bus or taxi. Torre del Mar is well worth a visit for its attractive promenade and numerous boutiques and restaurants and Torrox and Nerja are far more cosmopolitan and far livelier especially during the evening. The Nerja caves in particular are certainly worth a visit.
The property is within 30 minutes of the main motorway which will lead you to either Granada, Seville of perhaps slightly further on to Gibraltar.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
My house offers peace and tranquility well as easy access to shops and bars. There are no neighbors for some distance.
Thank you Mark and Kay for a fantastic holiday at Tinca Finca. We really enjoyed our holiday in your wonderful home. it was the most peaceful holiday we have ever had and the stunning views will stay with us forever. Your advice on the local restaurants were spot on and the food was great and represented amazing value for money, we will definitely be coming back.
Lovely house with good facilities and well appointed. In fact even prettier than the photos show. Only downside was the heat in the evening/night we went at a hot spell and found it difficult to sleep at night. Would love to return in the spring and do some walking.
This was the perfect peaceful break in the hills. Gorgeous Tinca Finca was great for reading by the pool, cooking on the BBQ and never tiring of the ever changing view of the surrounding hills. We found a couple of lovely walks (Fabrica de la Luz along the stream was charming in the early morning) and enjoyed exploring Canillas and Competa. Would highly recommend a stay here for a restful holiday.
4 of us stayed in this villa in Sept 16. The photos really dont do it justice.
It is a beautifully renovated finca in a semi remote location with the most stunning views you have ever seen. It has all mod cons, beds were really comfy, bath towels and beach type towels. The kitchen is beautifully fitted out.
The house is really cool in the daytime. There are lots of different places to sit and admire the views.
The pool area is gorgeous and it is a decent size. We spent many a day in the pool and just sitting round it's edge taking it all in.
There is also a BBQ and lots of seating on the gorgeous terrace.
The closest village is Archez and it is lovely. It is walking distance, Prob around half hour but when we stayed it was too hot! However you can get a taxi for a few euro.
All the restaurants Kay recommended were great and we had some lovely meals in nearby competa as well.
Kay was really helpful and left us some drinks, bread eggs etc so we didn't need to rush out on our first day
If you want a totally relaxing get away from it all holiday, don't hesitate to book this. We are so glad we did and we will revisit for sure. We were gutted to have to leave!!
We spent 9 days at Finca Tinca and all I can say is that the pictures do not do the place justice.
From the moment we walked through the gate onto the terrace we were blown away by the view, the peace and quiet and what we were going to do for the next 9 days here. The roads to the property are very winding and not the most relaxing to drive on - not for the faint hearted if you're a nervous driver. However journey's end make it worth while.
They was everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and Kay the owner had provided eggs, milk, juice, bread, water and wine, plus there were a lot of store cupboard staples like salt pepper oil sauces sugar and coffee. There are two fridges so plenty of room for provisions. We stocked up en-route at the little Andalusian supermarket in Canillas. There is a bigger supermarket in Competa 10 minutes away. The main bedroom is comfortable and has an en suite plus there's a floor standing fan which we really found useful. No hair dryer provided but then I didn't need one. There's also a floor standing fan in the lounge which is useful as even though there is a constant breeze it still get's very hot.
Sitting on the terrace for meals was a delight, and we spent a huge amount of time just enjoying the peace and serenity plus of course the ever changing view. The pool was great and used frequently throughout the day as were the sun loungers. The only negative comment we would make at all would be the unsuitability for young children due to there not being railings along the side of the pool - drunk adults may also have a problem. We used the built in BBQ a lot, picked lemons from the tree in the garden and also the almonds and rosemary. We didn't feel the need to go out and about as it was so lovely just to sit and take in the views.
We loved the Finca, we loved it's quirky steps and it's ceiling beams inside, in fact when it came to leave we both felt incredibly sad as it had become like home. We would say that if you like to do things everyday then maybe this isn't the place for you as to get anywhere takes a while and the roads take some getting used to. Even the coast which is 30 minutes away is a tiring drive. If you want total chill, peace and utter relaxation then this is for you. Leave the world behind and just sit, sketch, read or swim - the perfect spot .
Kay was a delight and we thank her whole heartedly for coming to meet us and spending time telling us about the area. Thoroughly recommended!
Thanks to Mark and Kay for letting us stay at their amazing house. The views are breathtaking everyday, whether it was sunrise, sunset or during the day. The welcome pack was really appreciated. The villa was clean and tidy. If you are looking for somewhere to just chill, this is the place. There are all the amenities you could need, including a BBQ. The recommendations for the local restaurants were perfect. The food, whether in restaurants or at the supermarket, was reasonably priced and wonderful. We hope to return again next year.
The finca had everything we could possibly have wanted for a relaxing week. The temperature is just perfect, even at midday, being several 100m's above sea level. The best part is the view - when you are in the pool it almost seems like an infinity pool! Also, the huge terrace is amazing for evening drinks.
In terms of activities; we decided to chill out but there are some beautiful villages and the national park just a stones throw away.
Tip: Don't buy too much perishable food at one time - just one modest fridge/freezer.
2 Bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom and another large bathroom with shower. Sleeps up to 6, free Broadband and TV with 90+ English channels, including sky sports.
Beautiful rustic Finca with private pool and breath taking views across the gardens and surrounding mountains and countryside. Overlooks the picturesque, moorish villages of Archez, Canillas de Albaida and Competa with views of the Sierra Almijar and surrounding national park. 1km walk to Archez , to local bars and restaurants and supermarkets. There are also a number of good quality restaurants in Canillas, about 3km away or the livlier Competa where you will find a full accompaniment of shops, bars, restaurants as well as banks with ATM and medical centre.
There is a choice of attractive beaches at Nerja, which is more of a tourist destination with many bars, hotels and restaurants as well as the stunning Nerja caves, which are well worth a visit. Torre del Mar is a more Spanish beach resort and has been built around a large attractive promenade with many shops and supermarkets. Torrox and Algarrobo are less than half an hour drive away and have a popular water theme park.
The nearest golf club is Baviera which is only half an hour drive down the mountain to the coast just the other side of the main motorway. Tinca Finca is only an hours drive from Malaga Airport with about half an hour on the A7/E15 before turning off for a half hour drive up the beautiful winding road which takes in the stunning scenery as you drive up the mountains past Sayalonga and through the attractive village of Archez. The Finca is easily accessible from the main road and has plenty of parking within the gated property. It is also fully equipped and maintained by a friendly English couple who have lived in and around the area for the past 20 years and can tell you all you need to know about the area.
The property is cool in the summer months and makes a cosy retreat in the cooler months with a wood burning stove and a number of portable heaters if required.
