Helping Hands Volunteer Tutoring: Fruit
What I love about our community impact ministries is that they bear tangible fruit. People being restored and giving their life to Jesus Christ. I also love the fact that this message spreads. Not only are the people involved in the ministry touched but that touch impacts their friends which impacts their friends.
Some time soon when her health allows we will baptize Alberta England into Jesus Christ. Alberta is one of these friends of a friend of a friend. It is why we do what we do. We want to be the tangible hands and feet of Jesus Christ. It is not enough to say we care, we want to show it. I love it when we see the fruit of such a witness.
Keep Alberta in your prayers. She has cancer and is in treatment and the Doctors have advised her to wait to be baptized because of health concerns.

V-Flat: The Budget-Friendly Portrait Gear 0
Here at TogTech, we're always on the lookout for photography tips and DIY projects, like building your own rig or printing your own tilt-shift lens adapter. And one of our recent finds is the V-Flat — an affordable and simple piece of portrait gear.
The V-Flat, also known as a "book" (looks like a giant folder to me…), is usually comprised of two sides, a white portion and a black portion.
Essentially, all you need to do to create a V-Flat is tape together two 4 ft x 8 ft mounting boards, which should be no less than half an inch thick to prevent them from tipping over, using gaffer's tape. And voila, you now have your own V-Flat that you can use to shoot portraits using either the white or black background — all for only $50-100 per. Hit the source link for some detailed tips on how to use one.

Fairy Godmother Lynda accepts donation to help older people this winter
Actress, broadcaster and Age UK Ambassador, Lynda Bellingham took time out from her role starring as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella to accept a vital donation on behalf of Age UK from Leeds Building Society. These vital funds will go towards helping older people throughout the winter.
The presentation took place at Bradford's Alhambra Theatre where Lynda, Oxo advert star and Loose Women panellist, was appearing in panto. Lynda, who has a long standing relationship with Age UK, working tirelessly on campaigns such as the charity's winter appeal Spread the Warmth, accepted the £19,635 donation from Paul Kaye, Leeds Building Society's General Manager – Sales on behalf of the charity.
Paul Farthing, Director of Fundraising at Age UK said, "We are delighted with the donation and would like to thank Leeds Building Society for their support. The money will help directly fund services that tackle issues older people face during the harsh winter months; these include, dealing with sub-zero temperatures and making the choice between heating or eating."
The £19,635 is a joint donation from Leeds Building Society's Caring Saver and Your Interest in Theirs schemes. The first part of the donation, for £11,997.23, is from the Your Interest in Theirs scheme which works by members agreeing to forego up to 99p of their interest each year. These funds are then split equally between the Society's four charity partners. The second part of the donation, worth £7,238.16, is from the mutual donating 1% of the average balances in all Caring Saver accounts equally between these same four charity partners.
Paul Kaye, Leeds Building Society's General Manager – Sales said, "The Caring Saver is the kind of account that appeals to your head as well as your heart. It offers an attractive rate of interest whatever your investment, plus easy access to your money. Charity supporters often make donations straight out of their own pocket and that is where the Caring Saver is different, providing customers with a competitive rate of return on their savings and making a difference to people who really need it at the same time. It fits perfectly with our 'Local Feel, National Presence' ethos, local people helping national charities."

Time for another What I'm Watching post. I've been really itching to write this post as there are so many things that I've been watching at the moment and that I've been loving too! January is such a great time for TV as so many series start up again for the New Year. I have 5 shows I want to share with you today so I should probably get on with it!
Pretty Little Liars is amazing and the new episodes are 5 years forward. I was really unsure on how this would work but it has worked so well and I love it so much! The first 5 years forward episode was so much like the first ever episode of PLL which I absolutely loved! I cannot wait to see what else they do in this series and Netflix is also uploading it the day after it airs in the US which is amazing too!
The Mysteries of Laura
Making A Murderer
Many of you have probably heard about this documentary and have probably watched it yourselves. I am not usually one for documentaries but after seeing so many people talk about it on Twitter and then my friend, Jess (she has a YouTube Channel and a Blog, make sure to check them out!) said I would like it I made it my mission to start watching. I have been hooked to this! I can't believe it's actually true, after the first episode I was completely shocked and disgusted! I am so close to finishing this but want to spend the time to actually watch completely be focused on the series.
Harry Potter
An oldie but a goodie. I love Harry Potter, so much so I actually did the Harry Potter Tag, and often re-watch the films, especially the last two. But after hearing the sad news on Thursday 14th January that Alan Rickman had sadly passed away (RIP) I went on an emotional binge watching of the films. So much so that I watched all 8 films in the period of three days. I rediscovered my love for the films and it made me realise that life is too short to do things you don't love, so me spending three days of my life re-watching the Harry Potter films I don't regret because I enjoyed doing it and I went through a rollercoaster of emotions whilst watching them. If you've never watched them I would definitely recommend them, but especially the books as they are just something else, and as much as I love the films there is a lot that they missed out.
Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta
To end on a happier note I thought I would add my complete guilty pleasure for the past month. Basically day time TV is great, when you watch it maybe once a week, when you have seven weeks off from university and don't have much work to do or any plans (or just want to spend most of your time in bed) you start branching out onto new TV shows. I have recently become absolutely engulfed by TLC. The channel offers some very weird and wonderful shows and something I have been loving is Say Yes To The Dress and specifically the Atlanta edition (I just love Lori and Monte okay). Not gonna lie, there was a day after New Years where I spent the majority of it watching this show, its addictive, theres drama, laughs, emotion. It's amazing and such an eye opener! Seriously, the amount some people pay on a wedding dress! Anyway, this show is something I can just throw on, whatever mood, and just watch for hours effortlessly. It's honestly great!
Another What I'm Watching has been and gone. I feel like I've been watching some very diverse and different programmes/films over the past few weeks especially and have been loving it. I definitely want to watch some more documentaries in the future as I have been completely and utterly hooked on Making A Murderer.

Vulnerability of River Deltas and Low-Land Coasts to Sea-Level Rise
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has more than 30 years of experience in conducting a wide variety of scientific studies to increase our understanding of the geologic history and evolution of the Mississippi River Delta of Louisiana. These studies have included mapping the geologic characteristics and framework of barrier islands, wetlands, and offshore continental-shelf regions; repeat mapping of coastal change by lidar (light detection and ranging); and process modeling of the effects of storms on coasts and delta-plain wetlands.
River deltas are particularly sensitive to the effects of climate change, such as sea-level rise; and urban areas, such as Cairo and New Orleans, are highly vulnerable. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reported in its 2007 fourth assessment that nearly 300 million people live in a sample of 40 deltas worldwide, including all the large deltas. As the report states, "Deltas, one of the largest sedimentary deposits in the world, are widely recognized as highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly sea-level rise and changes in runoff, as well as being subject to stresses imposed by human modification of catchment and delta-plain land use." Similar conclusions about the vulnerability of the world's river deltas were reported in 2009 in a paper by James Syvitski and others in Nature Geoscience (v. 2, p. 681-686; http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NGEO629). In particular, the authors found that the Mississippi and Nile River deltas are at "great risk" to sea-level rise.
To address some of these issues and to start the process of planning for sea-level rise, the USGS assisted in organizing the First International Conference on Coastal Zone Management of River Deltas and Low Land Coastlines, held March 6-10, 2010, in Alexandria, Egypt.
The conference was organized by members of Egypt's Coastal Research Institute of the National Water Research Center under the umbrella of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, along with the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, as well as many international experts, including U.S. scientists Orville Magoon (President of the Coastal Zone Foundation; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, retired) and S. Jeffress Williams (USGS Scientist Emeritus). Professor Nabil Ismail acted as an International Coordinator for the?conference, which was cosponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the USGS, the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The main objective of this conference was to bring together engineers, scientists, and government agencies and officials from around the world to exchange views and discuss recent developments in coastal-zone management. It was also intended to generate propositions for sustainable solutions to help Egypt alleviate adverse impacts of climate change and adapt to climate-change effects within the framework of integrated coastal-zone management.
During the 4-day conference, three keynote lectures were delivered by international experts: Ronald Waterman, Ismail Mobarak, and S. Jeffress Williams. Williams' talk, titled, "The Mississippi River and Nile River Delta Plains: Effects of Sea-Level Rise, Storms, and Subsidence Under Changing Global Climate," focused on the Mississippi River Delta and the results of research by Williams and other USGS scientists. A total of 47 technical papers were presented in 12 sessions covering 12 themes related to the management of river deltas and low-land coastal zones. Approximately 275 persons working in coastal science, engineering, and management came from 15 countries on four continents to attend the conference. All of the keynote lectures and technical papers will be available in a conference proceedings posted on the Web site at http://www.nwrc-egypt.info/.
During discussions in the conference sessions, attendees exchanged a broad range of ideas and reached several conclusions and recommendations for sustainable coastal-zone management.
Scientific and technical conclusions and recommendations include:
Management recommendations include:
Legislative recommendations include:
By the end of the 4 days, the conference organizers concluded that the themes and content of the First International Conference on Coastal Zone Management of River Deltas and Low Land Coastlines are of paramount political, social, and environmental importance; therefore, they recommended that such a conference be held every 3 years. Plans are being made to convene the next conference in 2013 at a venue to be determined. For the 2013 conference, the organizers will solicit even wider contributions and stronger support from different levels of government and institutions, both national and international.

text: Scaling and root plaing is one of the best non-surgical ways to treat gum disease before it becomes too severe. If you have not had a cleaning in a longer period of time, have heavy gum inflammation, and/or have significantly higher amounts of calculus built up above and below your gum line, we will recommend you receive scaling and root planing treatment in necessary areas. Scaling and root planning is performed using local anesthetic to numb the area, and therefore should not cause you discomfort or pain during the procedure. A deeper cleaning is done to remove debris and inflammatory tissue below the gum line. Eliminating debris and inflammation through scaling and root planing will help to prevent bone loss and tooth mobility.

You will never know true happiness until you have truly loved.
The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a KISS.
Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I need it.
When you are in love and you get hurt, it's like a cut.. it will heal, but there will always be a scar.
Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life,love gives us a fairy tale.
Some people come into our lives,Leave footprints in our hearts,And we are never ever the same.
Your tears makes me wanna change the world so that it won't hurt you anymore.

You might think that mouth guards are only for people who grind their teeth at night, but if you're a fan of high-impact, close-contact sports like boxing, rugby, and martial arts, then you need to consider visiting a dentist for a protective mouth guard to wear while you're exercising.
What Does a Protective Mouth Guard Do?
A protective mouth guard, when worn correctly, keeps the jaws, gums, tongue, and teeth safe from the consequences of heavy blows or impact. Over time, repeated blows to the face can cause permanent damage to the mouth and teeth – and that's in addition to the risk of concussion. Without a mouth guard, you could be facing chipped teeth, tongue lacerations, jaw problems, and more.
Why Choose a Custom Mouth Guard?
While you could buy a pre-made protective mouth guard from any sporting goods store, they're often uncomfortable to wear because they're made to fit as many people as possible, and it can be difficult to speak while you have it in place. The more comfortable a mouth guard is, the more likely you are to wear it regularly to decrease the risk of a serious injury. That's why you need a guard that is based on a mold of your teeth – it will feel more natural and will be easier to wear.
Custom Protective Mouth Guards – Keep Your Smile Safe
If you're looking for a custom mouth guard in Chandler, Arizona, why not visit Dr. J. Philipp for a consultation? He and his team will be able to advise you on all of the options available. You can relax knowing that you've got a protective guard in place to keep your smile safe on the field, in the ring, at the rink, or wherever you like to play sports!

The sixty-five pages of correspondence in Worth's letterpress book are devoted almost entirely to business activities while living in Fayetteville between 1867 and 1869. Worth apparently served as a commission merchant or wholesaler for the sale of fruit trees, wine, pork, and other products. Correspondence pertaining to the shipment of these products involves firms in New Garden (Greensboro), Company Shops (Burlington, Wilmington, and Baltimore, Maryland).
Several letters are written to Quaker publishers pertaining to the purchase of Friends' Review, The Neighbor, and other Quaker publications.
Perhaps of greatest interest are a series of letters pertaining to Republication Party politics and the office of tax assessor. Worth corresponded with O. H. Dockery, Robert P. Dick, John Pool, Benjamin S. Hedrick, and other Republican officials (December, 1868-June, 1869) in an effort to salvage his position as assessor. He reviews his own background as a faithful Republican, refers to the jailing of Uncle Daniel Worth in 1859 for holding pro-Republican views, comments on patronage practices, and criticizes William W. Holden for his pre-Civil War activities. One letter contains a detailed criticism of the character and career of James Sinclair who had been nominated to replace Worth as assessor. Worth contends that he was removed as assessor due to his support of Daniel Goodloe rather than W. W. Holden. Typed transcripts of all letters are included with the collection.
Miscellaneous material in the collection includes a security note for a cotton gin and press (1867), a general store account (1868), and a receipt (1885). These items appear to be unrelated to William H. Worth.
William Henry Worth (1839-19), the son of Hiran C. Worth, was born in Guilford County, N.C. He was a faithful member of the Society of Friends and was educated at New Garden Boarding School (Guilford College). As a Quaker, he refused to participate in the Civil War, and in 1864 he left North Carolina to live in Indiana and Ohio. Returning to North Carolina in December, 1865, he was appointed assistant tax assessor the following month. Worth served as tax assessor for the 3rd District from 1866 to 1869. Subsequently he owned a farm near Kinston in Lenoir County for nineteen years and in 1889 became state business agent for the N.C. Farmers' Alliance. As a Populist, Worth was elected state treasurer in 1894, a post he held for six years.

Still, the satellite presentation has improved since the last advisory, and the initial intensity is set at 70 kt based on a blend of final-T Dvorak numbers of T4.0 from TAFB and SAB and T4.7 from the UW-CIMSS ADT. Vertical shear is expected to be relatively low--less than 20 kt--for the next 24 hours or so, which should allow Gert to strengthen a little more over the warm waters south of the northern wall of the Gulf Stream. The NHC forecast has been increased slightly through 36 hours to account for the latest intensity guidance, although it is still not as high as what is shown by models such as HWRF and the HFIP Corrected Consensus. Southwesterly shear increases substantially after 48 hours, which should cause Gert to weaken, and the cyclone is also expected to become extratropical by 72 hours. There is a lot of uncertainty on the ultimate fate of the extratropical low, but most of the global models keep Gert as a separate entity at least through day 4. Gert's trajectory continues to veer as it rounds the western edge of the subtropical ridge, and the initial motion is 020/10 kt. Gert will soon become embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies, sandwiched between a mid-oceanic high and a large cut-off low over eastern Canada. This pattern will cause Gert to turn northeastward and accelerate over the northwestern Atlantic during the next 48-72 hours. The cyclone will then likely slow down and turn more northward by day 4 as it interacts with the aforementioned cut-off low. There is very little cross-track spread among the track models, but the latest suite of guidance has slowed down slightly from previous runs. As a result, the new NHC forecast is just a little slower than the previous one, near the various multi-model consensus aids. Swells from Gert should spread northward along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States during the next few days, with the first impacts expected to occur tonight. These swells are likely to produce dangerous surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local National Weather Service office.

text: How To Linux An Introduction to Linux Log Files Get valuable information to debug your Linux system Share Pin Email Print Negative Space / Pexels / CC0 Linux Basics Guides & Tutorials Installing & Upgrading Tips & Tricks Commands Key Concepts by Juergen Haas Former Lifewire writer Juergen Haas is a software developer, data scientist, and a fan of the Linux operating system. Updated October 27, 2019 31 31 people found this article helpful A log file, as you may well have guessed, provides a timeline of events for the Linux operating system, applications, and services. The files are stored in plain text to make them easy to read. This guide provides an overview of where to find the log files, highlights a few of the key logs and explains how to read them. Where Can You Find Linux Log Files Linux log files are normally stored in the folder /var/log. The folder will contain a large number of files and you can get information for each application. For example when the ls command is run in a sample /var/log folder here are a few of the logs available. kern.logauth.logbootstrap.logalternatives.logsambacupslightdm The last three in that list are folders but they have log files within the folders. As the log files are in plain text format you can read them by typing the following command: nano <logfilename> The above command opens the log file in an editor called nano. If the log file is small in size then it is ok to open the log file in an editor but if the log file is large then you are probably only interested in reading the tail end of the log. The tail command lets you read the last few lines in a file as follows: tail <logfilename> You can specify how many lines to show with the -n switch as follows: tail -n <logfilename> Of course, if you want to see the beginning of the file you can use the head command. Key System Logs The following log files are the main ones to look out for within Linux. Authorization LogDaemon LogDebug LogKernel LogSystem Log The authorization log (auth.log) tracks use of the authorization systems which control user access. The daemon log (daemon.log) tracks services that run in the background which perform important tasks. Daemons tend to have no graphical output. The debug log provides debug output for applications. The kernel log provides details about the Linux kernel. The system log contains the most information about your system and if your application doesn't have its own log the entries will probably be in this log file. Analyzing the Contents of a Log File The image below shows the contents of the last 50 files within my system log file (syslog). Each line in the log contains the following information: DateHostnameApplication/ServiceMessage For instance, one line in the syslog file is as follows: jan 20 12:28:56 gary-virtualbox systemd[1]: starting cups scheduler This tells you that the cups scheduling service has been started at 12.28 on the 20th of January. Rotating Logs Log files rotate periodically so that they don't get too big. The log rotate utility is responsible for rotating log files. You can tell when a log has been rotated because it will be followed by a number such as auth.log.1, auth.log.2. It is possible to change the frequency of log rotation by editing the file /etc/logrotate.conf. The following shows a sample from my logrotate.conf file: #rotate log filesweekly#keep 4 weeks worth of log filesrotate 4 #create new log files after rotatingcreate As you can see, these log files rotate every week, and there are four weeks worth of log files kept at any point in time. When a log file rotates a new one is created in its place. Each application can have its own rotation policy. This is obviously useful because the syslog file is going to grow more rapidly than the cups log file. The rotation policies are kept in /etc/logrotate.d. Each application that requires its own rotation policy will have a configuration file in this folder. For example, the tool apt has a file in the logrotate.d folder as follows: /var/log/apt/history.log { rotate 12 monthly compress missingok notifempty} Basically, this log tells you the following. The log will keep 12 weeks worth of log files and rotates every month (one per month). The log file will be compressed. If no messages are written to a log (i.e it is empty) then this is acceptable. The log will not rotate if it is empty. To amend the policy of a file edit the file with the settings you require and then run the following command: logrotate -f Continue Reading

"The NRFS Treatment Vaults will Prove a Dynamic Pollution Prevention Solution for an Iconic New Smyrna Beach Neighborhood and Coastal Ecosystem."
Located just south of Daytona Beach in Volusia County, FL, the City of New Smyrna Beach, is a dynamic estuarine ecosystem incorporating a rich river habitat, mainland watershed and vast coastal barrier island, know as a popular tourism, fishing and surfing hub. The advent of new residential and tourism growth has spurred many new development projects, such as Coastal Woods, to accommodate the recent population increases. The Coastal Woods development is slated to bring 650 new homes to the forefront to the Interstate 95 gateway of New Smyrna Beach to satisfy the growing housing demand within the area. While recent population growth has been a wondrous economic catalyst for the city, rapid urbanization booms ranging throughout the turn of the twentieth century to current day have caused a strain on various natural habitats within the area, including local wetlands bordering the Indian River Estuary.
Nonpoint source pollution stemming from nutrient polluted stormwater runoff rich in nitrogen and phosphorous, is a major impairment factor throughout the Indian River, causing eutrophication and spelling ill for the populations of many native flora and fauna. Such issues gone unchecked will be disastrous for the diverse ecosystems encompassing New Smyrna Beach. As a result, many private and municipal projects have been proactive in incorporating measures to curb runoff pollution, and the Coastal Woods development is one such project. Developer Geosam Capital has taken steps to build multiple wet detention ponds along with two NRFS treatment vaults to both avert localized flooding and nutrient pollution from further damaging the Indian River and subsequent tributaries, decades long after the construction of Coastal Woods is complete.
Installation of the model 6 - 12 NRFS® treatment vault at the edge of a newly constructed detention basin will promote a healthy, nutrient free ecosystem as well as mitigate flooding.
Gateway Property Powers Proactive Pollution Prevention
Preliminary planning for the Coastal Woods development began in the summer of 2016 with a finalized site plan in late January of 2017. Due to the proximity of native wetlands that border Coastal Woods, engineering firm Zev Cohen & Associates included measures to avert both localized flooding and the potential for future runoff nutrient pollution by creating two wet detention ponds, each with an NRFS stormwater treatment vault. These detention ponds are essential as any heavy rain events could easily inundate the entire area. Conversely, any stormwater would also have the potential to become contaminated from residential nonpoint source pollution like hydrocarbons and nutrients from lawn fertilizers and pet waste, ultimately washing into the Indian River causing further impairment. The NRFS vaults at each pond will be able to ensure any runoff from the wetlands is filtered of nutrients before flowing into the detention ponds by way of Bold & Gold Media. This media actively bonds to water molecules, capturing and consuming nutrients which results in denitification, mitigating any potential algae sources and assuring only clean water enters the Indian River.
The Bold & Gold® Biosorption Activated Media within the Coastal Woods NRFS® vault systems will prove an effective and proactive ecosystem conservation effort, removing a vast amount of phosphorus and nitrogen from incoming runoff. This coupled with the nearby detention ponds will work to mitigate any flood concerns and further ensure water flowing to the Indian River is pure, promoting active denitrification.
NRFS® Systems Protect Property Expansion
The Nutrient Removing Filtration System™ or NRFS vaults located at each Coastal Woods detention pond are engineered treatment systems that specialize in stormwater nutrient reduction and denitrification. Both designed and manufactured by Suntree Technologies Inc®, an Oldcastle Infrastructure™ company, these systems utilize Bold & Gold biosorption activated media along with orifice flow control to maximize detention time for removing large amounts of TSS, phosphorus and nitrogen. These NRFS vaults will filter any nutrients and hydrocarbons being washed through the basin in order to preserve the integrity and improve the water quality of the Coastal Woods ponds and the Indian River ecosystem.
Personnel from Suntree Technologies, Ferguson Waterworks, and contractor Jon M Hall Company worked together with Zev Cohen & Associates and Geosam Capital officials to commence installation of the NRFS systems on 5/24/17 and 6/15/17 respectively. Though the installation of the 6 - 12 model went smoothly, the 10 -20 model installation was less fluid. Installation was meant to span two days but a heavy rainstorm on 6/16/17 delayed the finalization of the structure until 6/19/17. The implementation of these NRFS treatment systems will help solidify a dynamic preservation and pollution prevention solution for both an iconic New Smyrna Beach neighborhood as well as the majestic coastal ecosystems which envelop this exemplary city.

Best Eye Vitamins for Athletes
Your eyes are obviously a very important part of your body. You need them to see clearly and go about your everyday life. As a result you will want to ensure that your vision stays in the best condition for as long as possible. Moreover, if you are an athlete, good vision can give you a competitive edge over your opponent. It doesn't matter if you are a professional or an amateur sports player, the condition of your eyes will really help you to improve your game.
There are various eye vitamins that can be helpful with focus, depth perception, peripheral awareness, visual acuity, hand-eye coordination and more. This article will focus on vitamins that are good for your eyes and can aid athletes and sports players.
If you haven't already, take a look at our list of 17 vitamins, herbs and minerals that can help with your vision. All of the 17 items in this list have been carefully researched to ensure that your eyes are getting all the natural help they need to stay in the best form possible.
Anti-Oxidant Vitamins A, C and E
As you get older, your vision will no doubt deteriorate. This is a fact of life and something that we can't stop, although we can prolong the process. This deterioration is known as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has been scientifically proven that vitamins A, C and E can help prolong the effects of AMD.
However, it isn't just older people that can get some benefits from taking vitamins to keep their eyes in check. Athletes and sports players in general can also benefit from taking these supplements. It has also been proven that the right amount of vitamins A, C and E in your diet can help with visual acuity, which is your ability to distinguish objects and focus on them quickly. In turn, this is vitally important for sports players.
Basically, the anti-oxidant properties of these vitamins can really help preserve the cells and tissues in your eyes. You might have heard people say that carrots are good for the vision. This old saying is actually quite true and the reason for this is the high levels of vitamin A that can be found in carrots.
Inside your retina, the rhodopsin molecule contains vitamin A which is used to help send sight messages to your brain. The more these molecules are used, the more vitamin A is used. As you can see, the need to replenish this vitamin A is vital to your eyesight.
Vitamin C is equally as important for eye health. In your eye, between the iris and the cornea, there is a fluid known as the aqueous humor. This fluid protects the both the cornea and lens and helps to prevent blurring in the vision.
This fluid contains a high level of vitamin C. For a sports player, blurry vision can be disastrous; therefore, maintaining high levels of vitamin C in your diet can really help to keep your eyes in good working order.
Finally, Vitamin E works to reduce oxidation in the tissues and cells in your body, including your eyes. It protects the cells of your eyes from the breakdown of healthy tissue and other damage. This can really help to reduce the speed at which your eyes degenerate and it can also help to reduce the possibility of developing cataracts.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Just like vitamins A, C and E, lutein and zeaxanthin are also very powerful antioxidants. They are found in very high levels in many parts of the eye including the macula, retina and lens. There have been numerous studies into lutein and zeaxanthin and most have concluded that they can help the eyes with glare and dim-light.
Moreover, they have also been found to slow down the degeneration of the eyes and keep them in the best condition possible for as long as possible.
Undoubtedly, good eyesight is vital for athletes and if you play sports you will want to keep your eyes in the best condition possible. If you play sports and you are getting older, then taking supplements to maintain good vision becomes even more important.
Due to the importance of both lutein and zeaxanthin, specialists are now testing the levels of both of these vitamins in your eye tissues. The test is known as macular pigment optical density and keeping the levels of lutein and zeaxanthin high in your body is vitally important for maintaining good eyesight both in life and when playing sports.
This can help to filter blue light and also reduces light and contrast sensitivity. Therefore it will be much easier to see the soccer ball against the sky or even a golf ball in the green.
How Vitamins Help Athletes' Vision
Whether you are kicking a football, stopping pucks or shooting three pointers, you will need the best eyesight possible to stay at the top of your game. Enhanced macular pigment will really help you to increase your ability to differentiate between colors, meaning that you'll be able to see a moving object easier and distinguish between all the moving colors around you including your own team members, a ball, targets and any background colors. This will definitely give you the competitive edge that you are looking for as an athlete.
Moreover, getting the right amount of vitamins will really benefit your eyes. The vitamins outlined above can help with blurry vision, tissue regeneration and generally keep your eyes in good working order. Your vision will be sharper, you'll have better depth perception, and your peripheral awareness, visual acuity and hand-eye coordination will all improve if you get the right amount of vitamins in your diet.

Pride mentor roars ahead
HAVING completed a successful debut National Premier League season with Western Pride, Kasey Wehrman could have opted for some time off.
However, he couldn't be happier with a recent decision to broaden his coaching experience and help the Ipswich region develop A-League talent.
The former international footballer has been appointed an assistant coach with the Brisbane Roar youth team preparing for the new season.
The prospect of having many days off has disappeared.
However, Wehrman sees several benefits in his new role.
Apart from reuniting with his former Queensland Academy of Sport coach Mike Mulvey and another Ipswich product Jason Kearton, Wehrman can build stronger ties between the state NPL competition and A-League.
"I've been lucky because I've known Mike since I was 13 or 14," said 36-year-old Wehrman.
Mulvey helped Wehrman and his family relocate from north-west Queensland to Goodna, where the rising teenager's football career flourished.
Keen to now develop his coaching at elite level, Wehrman sees working with Mulvey, youth team head coach Jeff Hopkins, Roar conditioner Ken Stead and Kearton as a terrific opportunity.
"It's really good," said Wehrman, who played more than 140 national/A-League games and 80-plus matches for Australian under-20, under-23 and Socceroos sides between 1995 and 2012.
"I'm invited to all the senior training and all the meetings.
"It helps me with the learning and I can keep an eye on the youth team boys. Help them out as much as I can.
"Kennie trained me before I was at the Olympics (Sydney).
"I've known Jason Kearton around the traps."
Like Wehrman, Kearton played at international level for many years before returning to Ipswich.
"We've got a real good combination going on at the Roar of all different coaches from different levels and different areas as well," Wehrman said.
"That always helps when it comes to Mike because he's a big supporter of Queensland players and Queensland coaches."
Wehrman will continue his role as Western Pride head coach for the second NPL season next year.
Pride finished in eighth place with eight wins and three draws, having beaten competition leaders Olympic in their second last game.
"The Pride's been like a real surprise," Wehrman said.
"We probably achieved a lot more than we thought we would accomplish in the first year.
"I hope to go on and make that even bigger and better next year."
Helping the Roar continues Wehrman's progression.
"That's been a real icing on the cake," he said.
"On top of that, there's a few cherries on top where I've got to now - work with a full-time professional team, helping develop their youth players coming through and working alongside Mike and Jeff, who have been around a long time. And Kennie has been up and down through all the different categories of coaching as well."
The Roar youth team is being picked this week before Wehrman helps his Pride side prepare for its game against the Roar senior side on September 18.
As for a break, Wehrman accepted that would be shortlived between the NPL and A-League seasons.
"It doesn't matter. I'm doing the thing I love and that makes it a lot easier," he said.
Queensland Supporter
FOR someone born in England, Mike Mulvey has become a loyal Queenslander.
Just ask Western Pride and Brisbane Roar assistant youth coach Kasey Wehrman.
Having recently been added to the Roar coaching staff, Wehrman is excited about working again with his former Queensland Academy of Sport mentor.
Since moving to Australia, former QAS, Gold Coast and now Roar head coach Mulvey has shown his true football colours.
"He's born in Manchester but I can tell you now he's an out-and-out Queenslander," Wehrman said.

The Toron Light Shuttle is a short-range sublight craft used for intrasystem transit. Smaller and much weaker than the larger
Kho'Tak, the Toron is also an older design.
The Toron is not entirely common anymore in Klingon service. Many Torons have been sold off to other nations, especially many of the
weaker secondary powers on their borders.
The Toron appeared and was named on the show, though it was a redress of a shuttle model in several previous episodes.
The Toron Light Shuttle as shown would make a good, cheap fighter-type unit.

We've all been there. You've had a busy morning and had no time to have a snack break. Maybe you skipped breakfast, maybe you didn't, either way is, now you're starving. But it's one of those days where you just don't have the time to put a lot of time and effort into making a lunch. So a quick lunch will have to do.
A quick lunch doesn't have to be boring. It doesn't have to be a sandwich or a salad, or in my usual case, a banana.
When I'm crunched on time but want something delicious, quick and easy, I have a go to recipe.
I love to make Teriyaki noodles!
Normally I would add in some bok choy, garlic and broccoli, but today I had none of those and didn't have the time to run to the store, so I just had to make do with the (very) limited ingredients that I had, and made a mental note to stock up on some fresh veggies later!
The Ingredients
- Spaghetti noodles (use as much as you need for your bowl, one serving)
- Salt
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 TBSP sesame seeds
- Olive oil
- Fresh veggies
The Recipe
- Bring 8 cups of lightly salted water to a boil
- Once boiling add in uncooked spaghetti noodles
- In a pan sautee the fresh veggies that you choose in olive oil
- Boil on medium-high for about 8 minutes or until desired tenderness
- Drain pasta
- Throw sauteed veggies in with pasta and mix together
- Pour in about 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce. (I say about 1/4 cup because sometimes I like it very saucy, other times not so much, it's up to you!)
- Add in sesame seeds
- Mix together
- Plate and serve!
You'll notice in my photos that there are no fresh veggies in this dish. As mentioned above I was out, but trust me, it's delicious!
Would you try out this quick lunch?
What is your go to lunch?

Peaches Geldof was in the running for a judging role 'Australia's Next Top Model' in the weeks before her death.
Peaches Geldof was in talks for a role on 'Australia's Next Top Model'.
The late star - whose death is still being treated as ''unexplained'' after being found dead in her home in Wrotham, Kent, England, on April 7 - was being considered for a judging position on the modelling reality show in the weeks before her death.
Brian Walsh, Foxtel's director of television, confirmed to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: ''Peaches was one of a number of names suggested but we took the decision that it was too soon to make any calls.
''The idea was not progressed beyond an initial stage.''
Tragically, the 25-year-old aspiring presenter was expected to replace former judge Charlotte Dawson, who was also found dead in her Sydney home this February.
She would have sat alongside model Jennifer Hawkins, designer Alex Perry and male model Didier Cohen on the panel.
In an interview published after her death, Peaches had admitted she was gearing up for a new TV project abroad and was planning to bring her children Phaedra, 11-months, and Astala, 23 months, along for the duration of filming.
She said: ''I can't say what it is yet, but I'll be there for three months. My children will come with me because, obviously, I wouldn't leave them for that long.''
It was recently reported that the star's heartbroken husband Thomas Cohen hasn't returned to their home since her death last week.
The couple were married in September 2012 at church of St Mary Magdalene in Davington, Kent, where her late mother Paula Yates was buried in 2000. Peaches' funeral is also expected to take place there soon.
After nearly thirty years since his first solo record Mark Lanegan has just released one of his very best and there's not many artists who can claim...

In this season of spring cleaning, we have several properties we've listed that aren't quite ready for public consumption. Let's talk about "soft launch" vs. "hard launch" listings.
A "Soft Launch" is what we do to promote a property that is available soon. We spread the word about the upcoming availability of a property to potential buyers as well as fellow agents. Nobody will be allowed to view the property until it is ready, but knowledge of a soon-to-be-available property is a virtue when the inventory overall is low. The sign on the lawn says "Available Soon".
A "Hard Launch" is what happens when the property IS ready! The Broker Tour is scheduled to entice fellow real estate professionals to preview the property, often with an incentive offered to get them to stop by. Weekend open house events are also scheduled. E-marketing launches and promotes these events to the general public. Our syndicated listings go to hundreds of websites where buyers can find them.
Our current "Soft Launch" listings can be found here:
18977 Thornbury Avenue, Castro Valley
Rolling Ridge Street, Hayward Hills
Seminary Avenue, Oakland (address to be publicized by the end of March)

The following contains selected comments shared at a
Legislative Personnel Committee meeting where the
qualifications of a woman hired as a sign language
interpreter were discussed.
Comments from State Work Force Director Bill
"I think the thing that disturbs me the most is that perhaps when the
information was disseminated…and I think we'll answer all these
questions and concerns that you have and any others that you would
want to ask…I think I saw the worst in journalism on Channel 7…
because they told one side of the story. And it was based on allegations
and innuendos and lies. Very, very few facts. And I'm disappointed
because I think it scared people that we serve. And I think those people
deserve answers. And I think they deserve facts. And I think that they
didn't get that. And quite frankly I think they are due an apology."
"I want you to know that we didn't just start working on this. Mr. West
started this process back on the 27th…when he asked for this information.
"I'm appreciative of Senator Williams…Eddie Joe Williams…who himself heard this concern. He investigated it. We responded to him. And he seemed to be satisfied. Then he (West) went on to talk to Max Brantley and raise his complaint with him. We responded to numerous FOI requests on May 7th…the 7th…and then he decided he wanted to go…I should add one other thing that is not on here…he did go to the Governor's office. His staff sat with us, we met on this issue, we looked at the files…everybody agreed she met the minimum qualifications. They were satisfied. Then he went on to Jason Pederson at Channel 7. When I talked to Jason not one thing that I mentioned to him did he
say. Not one."
(Viewers are welcome to review the four stories reported
so far and decide on their own if this allegation has merit).
Mr. Walker's responses to questions regarding how
the hiring process works at
Services and questions about the selected candidate's
qualifications compared to other applicants:
"We've got people right now that manage this process extremely well...
very effective…that this community is totally comfortable with…that
has no QAST level and no certification. That such man happens to be
the manager of the whole section…Mr. David McDonald. No
certification. No QAST level. And he manages everybody here.
Cheryl Stubbs when she came had no national certification. Now I'm
saying we can require all we want to. But we have to look at whether
or not we can take people, recruit people and help them to get where
we want
them to be so that they'll stay with us.
This lady right here (pointing at poster board) has done a good job in
(Committee Chair Rep. Bryan King) "She doesn't have that right now?"
(Carl Daughtery interjects) She has a QAST level? OK. She has a QAST
level. But not national certification. She's been with us for how long?
10 years? 10 years at the center. Does a great job."
(Committee chair) "When did she receive her QAST level?"
I can find that out if you would like to know that."
"Now does she (the
selected candidate) have national certification? The answer is no. She does not.
Is she interested? Is she
willing? Does she desire to achieve national
certification? Absolutely. Are we going to support her in doing so? You betchya. And why would we do that? I'm proud to say that we do that for many of
our employees. We have a young lady who
now heads up the section of sign language…came to us a few years ago…had no
national certification. She met other
requirements…but she was willing. We
supported that. We sent her to
school. We paid for her training. We paid for the test she took to achieve
national certification. Not only did she
get it but she qualified and she went on to work and now she has been promoted
to section leader. The manager that
manages all of the sign folk has no national certification and no QAST
level. Zero. Good guy.
All these folks back here (referring to the deaf people in the audience) know David. He's been doing it for years. Nobody has ever, ever raised the question of
his credentials, his certification, his training, his
QAST level. Nobody ever said anything
about the job description that has
been the same for more than 10 years. We
didn't create it. We didn't change
it. But it has worked for us…very
well. Because we have been able to attract people and help them
and support them and train them and they stayed with
us. We've got another employee in this
section. She signs for us. Has no national certification. She has been with us for more than 10 years down at
ATCI down in
"If we had taken the position that we want the criteria to be that we
want to have these high QAST levels if you will…that we want to
have this national certification if you will…then there would be
nobody in our department today that would qualify…then. They
would not have qualified when they came to us. They would not
have. And they're good people who do a good job and they have
performed and served many of these people very well. So…it's
what we do. And it is not unusual. And had we made a decision
strictly and absolutely on certification…you would be right. But
we don't make decisions just on…I could give you a lot of examples
of the people that are most qualified who are perhaps not the best
workers. They lack passion. They lack commitment. They lack
loyalty. They lack the purpose in what we are looking for in our
employees. Many of them they may come just to get a job and then
move on to another one. Remember now…we can set
qualifications as high as we want to…we got to get our pay levels
up there as well. Many of our folks deserve to be paid a whole
lot more and state government just has historically not been able to
offer that to people."
(Committee chair) "But in this case we had people with certifications
that were applying for the job and knew how much they were going
to make."
mean I didn't go into the reasons why we didn't select someone. I did
look into why we selected someone because that was the point of
discussion. And I'm not here to disparage anyone. There could have
been several reasons why we chose not to hire somebody because they
met qualifications. We could have somebody that meets qualifications
that had just been released from prison. I don't know. We can have
them look at that if that is important. We made the best decision based
on what we had for somebody to meet the needs that we had at that time.
and we looked at it from the total picture. It wasn't about the test scores."
"This lady (the chosen candidate) has worked for us for almost six months. She has done everything we have asked her to do…including enroll in school to get this training…this certification."
Comments from committee Vice Chair Rep. David "Bubba Powers
"It appears we threw the preferred qualifications out the window."
"If she didn't score well on the test and if those preferred
qualifications…we had other applicants…I certainly understand
why the crowd is here today. And again I think you have made
a compelling argument for your hire. But…I certainly understand
why the folks have a concern about this. And frankly if we hired
her for her passion and her work experience and some of the
things that you might have mentioned earlier I don't disagree with
that. But…there is a perception. How much of it is true, how much
is not true, I don't know. But I suspect in the end you are going to
be able to defend your hire no matter what venue we talk about this
in. But I do have a bit of a concern that we bypassed what seem to
us…and we weren't involved in the entire process…but it seems
that some folks were overlooked and I think that is why we are here
Comment from Carl Daughtery, the man who selected the
candidate in question and sent it to his superior Bob Trevino
for approval, after being asked by the Vice Chair what it was
about the candidate he picked that elevated her above the other
qualified candidates who applied:
"Certainly Mr. West and Ms. Thomas certainly had national
certification and commendable…they've done a good job with
the agency and I really appreciate their commitment to the agency
when it comes to helping the community. Now the same thing
what the director said I will refer back to…her experience and to
have an individual in her family who was deaf. The volunteering
that she does with DHS and with the churches. Her 20 years
experience as an employee. And certainly with our agency, you
know, there are certain cases that are definitely preferred. But if
we see an individual that we want to support…and certainly this
agency…Arkansas Rehabilitation Services…we have always
advocated for the underdog. And I certainly want to apologize to
the community. When this ad (KATV report) aired…I gotta tell
you…I know you all (the gallery) was scared…afraid. I was scared.
My son yelled at me…Daddy you on TV. And I want to thank Mr.
West because when it all aired…the way Mr. Pederson aired this
around…certainly my wife and all my family had some issues with
this. So I do want to thank Mr. West for apologizing to me
(cough/inaudible)…for the way your family and everybody had been
represented the way Mr. Pederson didn't ask anybody about this. Let
me just say that was an issue. But let me get back to the experience…
I really felt like since we advocate for people with disabilities and we
as an agency…here was an opportunity where we wanted to support
this individual and felt that she would be qualified and could
potentially be a good interpreter if we growed and supported that."
Interview with Dr. Glen Anderson (who is deaf),
formerly Dir. of Training for the Research Training
Center on Deafness for the U of A system:
Q: Is having a deaf relative, signing in church and taking some
college courses and adequate substitute for certification?
"No. The answer is no. Because church interpreting is different
from professional interpreting. The number of deaf people who
attend church reflects maybe a small number of people. What we
are talking about is everyday life, you know, people on their jobs,
medical appointments, mental health issues, far more complex than
church interpreting. So it cannot be substituted. No sir. You need
to be certified to be a professional interpreter."
Q: What does the deaf community think about this hire?
"The deaf community is not very happy. It is an insult to both the
deaf community and the professional interpreting community. We
expected the agencies to follow high standards in their hires of
Q: Is there anything you would like to add?
"Obviously she is not qualified for the position. I'm happy that we
had this hearing. I think that it is good that the legislators could hear
about this situation. And hopefully there will be some positive
resolutions to this."
Interview with Bill Walker, State Workforce Director
"You were asked at one point of the meeting if (the chosen candidate)
could do what the interpreters were doing for the gallery here…and you said yes."
"Yes, I did."
"You've seen this document when she was interviewed by David
McDonald and was shown a video on sign language. Mr.
McDonald noted that she did not understand the English or the
American Sign Language."
"How do you justify what you told the committee with Mr.
McDonald's assessment of her ability?"
"I justify it based on her 25 years of experience doing sign language."
"She had that experience when she took this test, right?"
"Let me answer your question. Do you want me to answer your
"I do."
"I justify it with 25 years of experience with sign language. I also
justify it with her community outreach and her educational
background where she in college level courses took sign language
and passed those courses. It was part of her minor that you have
never mentioned before in your reporting. So that is how I justify it."
"If she could sign what was going on here today why does she need
to enroll in a class at UALR?"
"She is pursuing the class for the purposes of seeking national
certification. So that is a process that you go through for the
national certification. It is the same process that we used for the
lady who is now manager of that section. She went through the
same process to seek and get her national certification using the same
job description, the same criteria, everything. Nothing is different…
except two different people."
"This candidate already beat out six candidates with national
certification. Why seek the certification now?"
"Well because we don't limit it to certification only. We made a
decision based on the totality of the issues. You were here in the
committee when I discussed those issues. We looked at her
educational background, we looked at her work background, we
looked at her community experience, we looked at her
commitment. We looked at a lot of different things when we made a
decision to hire this person. Now what I did not know and what I am
not aware of is what we looked at with the other candidates that they
perhaps did not meet up to. And I'm not sure that that is helpful in the
process. But my point is we looked at all of that and we made on the
totality of all of that information combined. Not just on a score.
If all we were going to do was hire a person because they had
certification or a high score then all we needed to do was just let
them test and not talk to them at all. We went through a interview
process. We do that with all of our employees. We pick the top 3
employees and we made a decision based on that as the person we
wanted to hire and bring on to the agency."
"Was Mr. McDonald mistaken when he noted that she did not
understand English or ASL?"
"I think you would need to ask him that question."
"Well he is not here."
"O.K. Well you can call him."
"Have you asked him that?"
"No I haven't."
"You've never asked him 'Why did you write that in your notes? We
hired a woman and you said she didn't understand English or ASL."
"I didn't ask him."
"Do you intend to?"
"Ah…not really. I'm comfortable with the decision that was made."
"Anything you would like to add?"
"I just hope that you will be fair in your reporting and cover the whole
story and report all the facts."
"Do you recall telling me you have a personal policy not to discuss
personnel matters with the media?"
"Yes I do. I remember that."
"I did call you and seek your opinion on this."
"You did. But I also shared with you a lot of information. What you
had asked me for was an interview. And what I said to you was we
will answer all of your questions, we'll give you all this information…
which we did…but then I had a personal policy…agency policy…
practice rather…that we don't do interviews on personnel matters."
"Not an agency practice…it's a personal policy."
"No…it's a practice."
"There is nothing in writing that says the agency can't discuss
personnel matters."
"It's not a policy. It's an agency practice. There is a difference. And
the agency practice has been that in personnel matters we don't do
on camera interviews. But we provided you everything you asked for
Jason and more. Everything. We didn't deny you anything. You had
the information."
"I wasn't told she signed at church for 10 years."
"Did you ask that question?"
"OK…I didn't ask every possible question about the candidate."
"But even the answers we gave you…you didn't report. You didn't
share anything that I gave you when I gave you all that information.
not one thing."
"Actually I could show you my report and contradict that statement."
"I've seen it…but afraid I didn't see much of that. What I did see was
you go out and say the reason she got the job was because she worked
with Premier Funeral Home."
"What I said was she listed you on her employment history."
"And she disclosed that. That was disclosed. Is that wrong?"
"It might actually have benefitted her."
"Well, OK. You have that opinion. I have a different one. I think she
is a great state employee…has been for over 20 years. And I think
that matters."
"And I think she has got the practical experience, she has got the
educational experience, I think those things matter. And I think she
ought to be treated fairly."

Further restrictions on neonicotinoid pesticides have been approved following a vote in the European Commission.
The UK voted in favour of the proposals that will see a ban on outdoor use of three neonicotinoids - clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.
Currently, their use is banned for oilseed rape, spring cereals and sprays for winter cereals, but they can be used to treat sugar beet, various horticultural crops and as seed treatments for winter cereals, according to Defra.
NFU senior regulatory affairs adviser, plant health unit Dr Chris Hartfield said: "It is very disappointing. We have said all along that as a result of this farmers will find it a lot harder to control a whole range of pests and to establish crops, particularly in warmer, wetter areas.
"With sugar beet there are no alternatives to control the pests and viruses and farmers will be questioning whether they will be able to grow the crop in any sustainable way for their businesses. There will be a change in what farmers will be able to grow in the UK.
"The current restrictions have delivered no measurable benefit for bees so why are we doing more of the same?"
CLA chief land use policy adviser Susan Twining said: "This is another blow to farmers at a time of significant uncertainty. Removing yet another tool from farmers which helps them control pests and disease will negatively impact their ability to farm efficiently and profitably, as we develop a post-Brexit strategy for agriculture.
"It is vital that regulatory decisions on crop protection products follow a science-based approach and we respect the decision of the regulators on this matter. It is however incumbent on ministers and officials in the EU and the UK to think about the real world business impacts of these decisions, and work with us to provide the necessary support for farmers that need to find ways to combat pests, control costs and produce food efficiently.
"Above all we will be seeking reassurances from the Secretary of State that any restrictions will be enforced against all imports through Brexit and beyond."
The Agricultural Industries Confederation said in its recently lobbying, it had argued against further restrictions on the use of neonicotinoids until the European Court of Justice ruled as to whether the current restrictions have a justified legal basis.
It said: "The current restrictions, which came into force in December 2013, prevent the use of the three neonicotinoids as granular applications to soil, seed treatments to cereals drilled from January to June, as well as uses as seed treatments, soil treatments or foliar applications to flowering crops (except when applied after flowering of the crop).
"Bayer and Syngenta challenged the Commission decision to restrict these uses on the basis of insufficient evidence of any serious risk to bee health, using unadopted risk assessment guidance and taking disproportionate action in the light of the perceived risk identified. AIC acted as an intervenor in the case. The legal challenge was heard at the European Court of Justice in February 2017 and it is understood that the General Court will deliver its judgment on the current restrictions on 17 May 2018.
"AIC asked the UK Government not to support the Commission proposals on further restrictions, if a vote took place on April 27, until the legal basis of current restrictions is decided by the court."
Bayer said it was 'surprised that, once again, legislative measures are being implemented without a prior thorough impact assessment. Beyond the costs for European farmers, the restrictions in place have already brought considerable unintended consequences: a lack of alternative solutions; more spray applications, leading to more CO2 emissions; an increased risk of resistant pest insects; and a return to older, less-effective chemicals'.
Defra said the current restrictions will stay in place until the new measures come into force following a phasing out period of around eight months.
It added: "Unless the scientific evidence changes, the government will maintain these increased restrictions post-Brexit. The UK reserves the right to consider emergency authorisations. We will only do so where there is a real need for the products and the risk to bees and other pollinators is sufficiently low."

Capital Bell – Why millennials lean pro-life
Mar. 7, 2016
|Good afternoon from Capitol Hill, where it's back to work for conservatives who mingled with movement leaders and grassroots activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference just outside Washington. Among things we enjoyed at CPAC: a panel on millennials that included a discussion of their pro-life leanings, Ben Carson's remarks on what can bring Americans together, and Genevieve Wood's talk with Rep. Marsha Blackburn on her panel looking into Planned Parenthood. For more, go to DailySignal.com and click on CPAC.
|Why millennials lean pro-life. Millennials lean more pro-life than the generation preceding them because of advances in medical technology and science, leaders in conservative media said.
|Ben Carson's "winning formula" for a stronger America. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson preached cohesion among Americans, encouraging individuals to blend capitalism with compassion to create a "winning formula" that strengthens the nation, reports The Daily Signal's Natalie Johnson.
|Rep. Marsha Blackburn says the House panel probing Planned Parenthood has "a surprising amount of agreement." The group is tasked with finding out whether Planned Parenthood and others broke the law by trafficking in the organs and other body parts of aborted babies. Watch the video.
|What we're reading: Americans aren't the only ones who see the recent nuclear deal with Iran as a dangerous move. Yukiya Amano, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, says the details of the deal with Iran make it impossible to report openly and honestly about Iran's nuclear facilities and whether they comply with the deal. Read more.
|Property rights are an integral part of the American dream and our belief in personal liberty and free enterprise, but they've been put on the defensive since the days of President Teddy Roosevelt. Martha Boneta, a Virginia farmer, has faced the consequences of this decades-old assault on property rights, and has had to wage her own battle against her local government and environmental groups to keep her family farm.

8 Tips for Marketing With WebinarsKaren Axelton
For B2B marketers, webinars are one of the most popular marketing tools around—behind only conferences, trade shows and exhibitions as an event marketing method, a survey by Regalix reports. More than half (55 percent) of B2B marketers in the poll report marketing with webinars as a way to attract prospects.
If you haven't tried marketing with webinars yet, why not give it a try? Here are some tips for marketing with webinars.
- Determine your goals. What do you want to gain from the webinar? Marketing with webinars can help you educate prospects about your products or services, generate new leads or build a thought-leader reputation. Knowing what you want to achieve will help you set goals, such as number of leads from the webinar or sales calls resulting from it. This will also help you determine what information you want to capture from attendees.
- Choose a topic. Your webinar topic should be useful enough to spark signups, relevant to your business and your expertise, and offer a new twist that users haven't seen before. Think about questions that your customers and prospects commonly have; these can lead you to the right topic to choose. For example, if you own a recruiting firm and customers often ask you for advice about onboarding new hires, you could do a webinar on that topic.
- Plan your presentation. Webinars are typically 30 to 60 minutes in length. Create a rough script (you don't want to follow it word for word) and a visual presentation. Avoid using lots of words in your visuals. You don't want to present a PowerPoint that users could just read on their own; instead, employ striking images, surprising facts or funny stats to keep them engaged and listening.
- Choose your webinar tools. There are a variety of tools you can use to record and present your webinar; Webex, GoToWebinar and ReadyTalk are just a few. Find one that offers the functionality you need with the simplest operation. Be sure to give it several test runs before the big day.
- Promote early and often. Marketing is key to a successful webinar. Start spreading the word about your webinar at least eight weeks prior. Promote it on your website, in your marketing emails and on social media. You can increase signups by creating a sense of urgency ("Attendance Is Limited—Only 25 More Spots Available!") Also consider hosting your webinar with a complementary business so you can share marketing duties—and your customer lists.
- Send reminders. Generate excitement about the webinar (and ensure attendees remember to show up!) by sending reminder emails. Include a "teaser" with some information from the webinar, like an interesting fact or useful tool, to get them psyched up for the event.
- Do a Q&A. Always leave a little time for attendee questions and answers at the end of the webinar. It helps boost engagement and can also be used as a way to ferret out attendees' pain points or concerns for later sales.
- Re-use it. Recording webinars is a great way to keep marketing with webinars long after the event is over. Archive them on your website and you can use them as marketing tools again and again.

Updated 4:44 p.m. | With the debt limit deadline and bipartisan budget negotiations approaching, Democratic leaders expressed concern Thursday over the House GOP's delayed leadership elections.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid spoke of the "utter chaos" of the Republican Party following California Rep. Kevin McCarthy's decision to drop out of the race to replace outgoing Speaker John A. Boehner.
Reid called for bipartisan work "immediately to take the threat of a default off the table" while both sides negotiate a budget deal.
"Republican chaos is likely to get worse before it gets better, but the economic livelihood of the American people should not be threatened as a result of Republicans' inability to govern," the Nevada Democrat said.
Reid's worries were echoed by the Senate's No. 3 Democrat, Charles E. Schumer of New York, who said, "If Congress waits around for the Republican Family Feud to resolve itself, we'll risk a government shutdown and defaulting on our national debt."
House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland said, "Today's news is yet another sign that Republican are unfit to lead the House. ... It's bad news for the American people who expect Congress to get things done on their behalf."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, wasn't as long-winded as her colleagues. In a written statement, the California Democrat said, "It's up to House Republicans to choose the next Speaker."
Rank-and-file California Democrat Tony Cárdenas said in a statement: "While many of my colleagues are satisfied to watch the Republican caucus implode, I am taken by a great moment of sadness for our nation."
Rep. Steve Israel, chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, which makes the House Democrats' message, had this to say: "At the end of the day, it helps explain why the Democratic brand in Congress is doing so much better than the Republican brand in Congress right now. I mean, there's very fresh data on this — that the Republican brand is diminishing and the Democratic brand is good, and that gap has implications in lots of different areas, voter turnout and everything else."
Asked how Democrats will use the chaos to their advantage, he said, "Here's how: We're not going to get in their way. We're not going to step on their message. We'll continue to be focused on priorities and getting to the concerns of the American people, and we'll let them continue to be focused on themselves."
