The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture offers graduate degree programs leading to an M.S. (thesis or non-thesis) or Ph.D. in plant and soil sciences.
- Agronomy is the application of plant and soil science to crop production. Agronomy emphasizes staple food crops, such as corn, rice, beans, and wheat, which are produced on a large scale and represent the foundation of our human food supply.
- Horticulture is the science and art of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Horticultural crops are used to diversify human diets and to enhance our living environment. Vegetables, fruits, flowers, ornamentals, and lawn grasses are examples of horticultural crops and are typically produced on a smaller scale with more intensive management than agronomic crops.
The Department's pride is its excellent teaching, research, and extension programs carried out by more than 70 faculty members in six core areas: landscape ecology and design; ornamental horticulture; plant breeding and genetics; soil and water sciences; turf/range/forage science; and weed science. The Department also conducts research nationally and internationally in plant physiology, viticulture, molecular biology, plant biotechnology, plant breeding, nutrient cycling and management, rangeland ecology and management, renewable bioenergy, soil and water management, and on the environmental impact and sustainability of agriculture.
The Department has well-equipped laboratories, modern greenhouses, growth chambers, and field facilities, including four district research centers spanning several ecoregions, available to graduate students. For instance, the Plant Sciences Program combines integrative curriculum with collaborative research in highly specialized facilities. And our outstanding field research facilities located in several agro-climatic zones across the state provide a unique ability to conduct research at a production-scale. This increases the relevance of the findings to real-world agro-ecosystems and gives students an opportunity to work in a more realistic production environment.
Many online courses are available.

Changes to the Dota Majors system, a new 7.06E patch and news of Team Faceless disbanding highlight our Dota 2 news round-up for the first week of July.
Valve Tinkers With Dota Majors System
Dota Majors have been a staple of the competitive scene since Valve introduced it post-TI5. However, perhaps sensing the flaws of their current system after five Major tournaments, excluding TI6, Valve has decided to change things up a bit ahead of the 2017-2018 season.
Valve made the announcement earlier this week. The changes include the introduction of Major ($500k prize pool) and Minor ($100k prize pool) tournaments, as well as Qualifying Points.
For more information, you can check out Valve's official statement here.
You can also read our feature on what the changes might mean to the competitive landscape as a whole here.
7.06E – A Minor Patch With Huge Effects
Nearly a week after the end of the TI7 Qualifiers, IceFrog decided to hit the most successful and most picked heroes of the qualifiers with nerfs. The likes of Sand King, Clockwerk, Puck, Queen of Pain, and even Lina, were all rebalanced in the most recent patch.
Meanwhile, long-forgotten heroes, Alchemist and Naga Siren received minor adjustments to make them a bit more viable in the current meta.
For more information, you can read the official patch notes here and our thoughts on the latest patch here.
No More Team Faceless
The unofficial Gatekeepers of SEA, Team Faceless disbands after failing to qualify for TI7.
The team has yet to post a confirmation that the members of the team have gone their separate ways. However, the team's manager confirmed the decision live on stream.
TI7 Prize Pool On Track To Make History (Again)
After earlier concerns that the TI prize pool will be lower this year, it now looks like it's set to surge past last year's.
With more than a month remaining for the prize pool to grow, the TI7 prize pool is only going to get bigger. Keep in mind, the release of Treasure III will surely lead to yet another huge spike in growth.
As of this time of writing, the total prize pool sits at $20,605,322.
That puts it just a $100,000 or so short of breaking last year's record-breaking prize pool of $20,770,460.
TI7 All-Star Match, Player Cards and Fantasy Roster
Get ready to have carpal tunnel syndrome, as the Player Cards and Fantasy Roster are now available.
Along with the Player Cards announcement also comes details on the changes regarding the TI All-Star Match.
In the past two years, the TI All-Star Match has been purely shenanigans and was a way for Valve to announce their newest heroes. In TI5, it was the new 10v10 feature and the hero Techies. Then, in TI6, it was also during the 10v10 all-star match that Valve unveiled Underlord.
For TI7, Valve has decided to add a $100,000 prize for the winners and changed the format to a classic 5v5 Captain's Mode. Battle Pass owners will now also be responsible for voting who will be a part of the TI7 All-Star Match.
For more information, you can read the official announcement here.
LGD Gaming Wins MDL 2017
After a hard-fought series that went the distance, LGD finally took down their sister squad, LGD Forever Young, to claim the MDL 2017 title.
The two LGD squads haven't exactly played much in recent months. LGD Gaming most recently appeared at Summit 7, where they finished in 3rd place. Meanwhile, LGD.Forever Young finished 3rd-4th at EPICENTER 2017.
After defeating the likes of Newbee, Evil Geniuses, OG, and other TI-bound squads, both LGD teams will now head to TI7 with a lot more confidence in themselves.

Follow Beyond The Summit for live English coverage of the tournament.
EternalEnvy AMA, Blog and Valve's Response
EternalEnvy decided to do a Reddit AMA, as well as pen a blog this week.
In his blog, Team NP's creator wrote about both the good things and bad things about Valve's management of TI and other majors over the years.
While EternalEnvy talked about many things, what seemed to have ruffled the most feathers was him calling out Valve on their decision to reduce the number of people they would sponsor to fly out with each team to Seattle.
This, apparently, did not go unnoticed as one Valve employee decided to respond.
The employee, called DanielJ, replied to the Reddit thread, saying, "Earlier today, we let the teams know that we will be providing transportation/accommodation for a 7th team member".
You can find the blog here.
Blitz Makes Tut On How To Farm
William 'Blitz' Lee, an ex-pro and current coach of Planet Odd, decided to break down the basics of farming and how to farm the right way.
The video, shown above, shows the nuances of farming, among many other things.
I suggest you give it a watch to learn more about Dota in general.
Evil Geniuses CEO PPD Starts Podcast
TI5 champ and current Evil Geniuses CEO Peter 'ppd' Dager recently started to record his own podcast.
In his first episode, he talks to Digital Chaos' Kanishka Sam 'BuLba' Sosale about the TI7 qualifiers.
The podcast is worth listening to and watching as it provides a lot of insight for what happens to the teams behind the scenes.

5 top tips to maintain good eyesight and keep your eyes healthy
June 10, 2017
The one thing that every single person in the world takes for granted the most is their eyes. We hardly ever think about them, and sometimes we forget that some of the things we do in our everyday lives can damage or cause harm to this very important part of our body.
The main reason why we have to look after our precious eyes is to maintain good eyesight for as long as possible. After all, we only get one set for our whole lives, so we should take care of them the best that we can. Naturally, the eyes weaken as we get older which is something we cannot do anything about, but if we look after them, they have the potential to maintain good clarity for a long time.
Before the age of 40, the natural lense in our eyes is extremely flexible which helps them to focus on objects that are far away or very close. However, as we get older, this lense becomes weaker and loses some of its flexibility, causing our eyes to not be able to focus on close up objects as well as they once could. This is why we sometimes see our parents or grandparents hold up a book further away from their eyes so that they can read it properly! If you follow our 5 top tips below, you will be on your way to maintaining your eyesight and keeping them healthy!
Smoking is probably the worst possible way to damage your eyes as well as every other organ in your body. Smoking drastically increases the risk of optic nerve damage. The optic nerve is the nerve that connects and transmits vital information between the eye and the brain. Optic nerve damage can lead to vision loss, distortion and even blindness. Giving up smoking will not only improve your eye health, it will improve overall health in your body and also prevent the risk of developing other diseases such as lung cancer.
A healthy diet is key to maintaining your overall eye health and there some foods that are especially good for keeping your eyes in good condition. Taking vitamins C and E, and eating foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids, zinc or lutein, such as salmon and tuna, can stop you from getting eye diseases such as Cataracts and Glaucoma which can occur if eyes are put under strain. It is important to include plenty of citrus fruits like oranges in your diet, as well as green leafy vegetables such as spinach which contain high levels of iron, and can prevent Age Related Macular Degeneration from developing in the eye. Eating healthily also means that you will maintain a good fat and muscle level in the body, which is an important barrier for Diabetes. Scientists have discovered that a disease like Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in our eyes which can lead to blindness.
Almost a third of the adult population in the UK work in an office environment, which means that they often stare at a computer screen for up to 8 hours a day. It is important that you give your eyes regular breaks from the screen by turning your eyes away, or closing them for 2 minutes (without falling asleep) every now and again. Working on a computer for a long time can result in eyestrain if they are focused on one spot and the brightness of most computer screens doesn't help either. After a few hours of looking at a screen, you will find that it becomes extremely hard for your eyes to focus on something in the distance. Headaches and dry eyes are also common problems. Make sure you take a ten minute break every couple of hours so your eyes have the chance to rest!
Doctors recommend that children have their first eye test at the age of three. When babies are born, their eyes are very sensitive to light and cannot focus on objects or see colours very clearly. Vision begins to develop during the first few months of their lives when they start to focus on objects and by 4 months, they are able to see across a room with colour. Some people take their children to have an eye test at 6 months, but sometimes this is too young for doctors to spot any eye problems. At the age of three, children should have a complete eye exam as problems such as lazy eye, or being long or short sighted can be spotted at that age. If any eye problems are discovered, the doctor will provide the necessary equipment to help the eye sight improve such as glasses, reading glasses or eye patches. This eye examination will usually include tests for visual sharpness and overall eye health.
It is as important for adults to go for regular eye checks. During the examination, the doctor will check for diseases such as Glaucoma, Cataracts and Macular degeneration as well as other problems. If any problems are diagnosed, ensure that the correct procedures are carried out so that the disease doesn't get any worse and glasses can be prescribed. At the age of 40, it is common that the eyes will change and this is called Presbyopia. This is when it becomes difficult to read things or see objects up close and this is normal. The easiest solution for this is to get your hands on a pair of reading glasses, bifocals or specially adapted contact lenses.
This is not only a very important tip to remember, it is also our favourite tip! The sun is the most common problem when it comes to damaged eyes and it can lead to big problems such as vision loss. When your eyes start to squint or close due to bright outdoor light, they are creating a natural defence against UV rays, which are very harmful and can affect the way that the eyes function. If you don't usually wear sunglasses on a sunny day, you are putting your eyes under the risk of diseases and eye breakdowns.
The sun gives off UV rays that are extremely dangerous if the eyes absorb them directly as it can cause a UV-related disease such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and even skin cancer on the eyelids. The two types of UV rays are UVA rays and UVB rays and have one thing in common- they are both very dangerous. UVA rays penetrate into the back of the eye, and UVB rays, cause damage to the lens and cornea and both need to be avoided by wearing sunglasses that have 100% UV protection.
Sunglasses come with different UV classifications, but all of our designer sunglasses that we stock here at Blaze will provide you with 100% protection of both UVA and UVB rays. Not only will you look super stylish and extremely fashionable when wearing a pair, you will also be able to relax and enjoy yourself in the outdoor sunlight knowing that your extremely precious eyes are protected and being cared for with a designer label. Wrap-around sunglasses such as these Nike EV0605 Adrenaline Stealth Sunglasses are particularly good for protecting the eyes against UV rays. The sleek wrap-around shape provides ultimate protection from all angles as well as stopping dust and wind from entering the eyes. Wrap around sunglasses have also been recommended by eye specialists all over the world.
We stock hundreds of other unique sunglasses at Blaze, from top designer brands such as Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Oakley and Ray-Ban. Give your eyes a treat this year and shop our designer collection today.
Mirror mirror on the eye...
May 24, 2017
Colourful mirrored lenses have dominated the summer eyewear collections. The vast range of rainbow colours are found amongst all designer brands. From Gucci, Marc By Marc Jacobs to Carrera and Oakley, they have all released their own modern twist on the summer mirrored lenses. It is time to be daring and playful with your sunglasses. There is no excuse to escape the mirrored look as they can found across many styles such as the aviator and wayfarer, allowing everyone to adopt these quirky numbers
The reflective optical coating (also known as mirror coating or flash coating) is applied over the lens to create the small mirrors. They also decrease the amount of light passing through the mirrored lenses so pretty handy for great summer vision.
Choosing the right colour shade can be extremely difficult, but we suggest you choose the colours which will most likely match your daily outfits. Or perhaps you are brave enough to select an incredibly striking pair of sunglasses to ensure you stand out amongst the crowd. Our customers tend to rely on their favourite colour as the sunglasses scream the "look at me". Personally, being a big jeans lover, I would choose the blue lenses.
We have plenty of new mirrored sunglasses in stock, but we know they will sell fast due to the constant British heat waves. Don't forget we offer free delivery and returns to ensure you are sunglass ready this summer.

Shades of the Season SS17
April 19, 2017
Source: http://www.pantone.com/fashion-color-report-spring-2017
Vivid colours such as fuchsia pink were seen across the Paris Fashion Week catwalks this spring, most noticeably in the dress collections of couture houses Hermès and Valentino. These items daringly styled in head to toe pink were similar to those seen both in the 1980s and also those heavily featured in the motion picture hit 'Legally Blonde' (2001). If you wish to channel your inner Elle then these Gucci sunglasses are key to achieving this.
Pantone recognises that intense shades of 'royal' blue are said to be among the most popular colours seen in the catwalks of Jason Wu, Hugo Boss and Kenzo among others. This is due to the colour's calming effect and association with relaxation. If you have the confidence to wear these dashing hues then pick up a pair of these shades to be 'bang on trend' this season.
The colour report also features neutral colours for spring such as pale pink, sage and Hazelnut. These underlying tones are evident in multiple catwalks and used as transitional colours. They are a key wardrobe staple used year on year, so have full confidence in buying items in these minimalist tones.
As seen in Pantone, various shades of green are a key feature this season with grass green and a brighter zingy lime green being the most dominant tones. To reinforce the importance of the colour green, Joseph have also featured these shades heavily alongside blue hues in oversized shirting in their SS17 collection.

The World Cup 2014 is finally here! For a whole month, the nation will be glued to their screens, cheering their teams into victory. The beer gardens will be packed with the football spirit and the barbecues will be out every weekend (providing the sunshine continues to come out to play). Now is the perfect opportunity to invest in a pair of designer sunglasses and show them off to your friends and family.
American rapper, Pitbull, wore his cool aviator sunglasses during last night's opening ceremony performance with Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte. Debating whether his overall choice of outfit was fashionable, you can never go wrong with a stylish pair of aviator sunglasses. Aviator sunglasses are a traditional and very popular style of sunglasses. Their simple yet effective shape has the potential to glam up any outfit and give it that statement to ensure that you stand out, especially the coloured mirrored lens option.
During the World War II, Ray-Ban designed the aviator sunglasses for pilots to protect their sight from the sun's dangerous glare. The original aviator sunglasses were pretty basic as the large thin wire frame and the green lens was made with one practical purpose, rather than fashion. By the 1970s, colour was splashed into the aviator sunglasses and famous musicians such as Elvis, Paul McCartney, Freddie Mercury and Ringo Starr. Because of the huge demand for the newly popular style, Ray-Ban created a collection of aviators for the public and since then, their loyal fans have never looked back!
Ray-Ban are not the only brand to make their beloved style. Other well-loved brands, such as Carrera, Prada, Alexandra McQueen and Prada Sport, have adopted the aviator sunglasses as part of their family.
Make sure your children don't miss out on the aviator sunglasses collection. Carrera have produced some fantastic shades for the little ones at an affordable price tag. Giving them great protection from the pesky sun and staying on trend, you stay tantrum free whilst asking your son or daughter to put their sunglasses on.
Get the Victoria Beckham Look: Oversized square sunglasses
February 7, 2013
Victoria Beckham, who is known for her sleek and sophisticated fashion sense, is definitely one of the many celebrities who find it impossible to leave the house without donning a pair of super stylish designer sunglasses. In fact, we barely ever see Posh's face without them covering half of it!
Her smart look is so well recognised, that the fashion designer, wag and ex Spice Girls band member has somewhat become a bit of a trend setter over the years, with women all over the world wanting to create the same elegant and highly sophisticated look that she pulls off every single day. Posh rarely has a day off from wearing those towering heels, and certainly never has a day off from wearing extremely large sunglasses to accessorise her smart trousers and shirt combo, with her luscious brunette locks falling at her shoulders.
Victoria has been pictured wearing many different styles of designer sunglasses in the past, but these days it seems that the mother of four usually favours exaggerated, glamorous oversized square frames that match her perfectly preened outfits to a tee. We don't blame her for her love of oversized square's as they add a touch of glamour and Hollywood sparkle to any formal or casual outfit, and have the added bonus of suiting most face shapes and sizes. Jessica Alba, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian amongst others clearly have the same love for oversized square sunnies as Victoria as they have also been spotted wearing the popular style on a number of occasions!
Here at Blaze, we have an extensive range of Victoria Beckham's favourite-oversized round sunglasses-and we'd like to share a few with you that may help you to create the same famous, trademark look as Posh herself but for much less!
These super trendy Versace VE4206 Crystal Blue Black Sunglasses are a perfect place to begin. With thin, squared off black oversized frames that embrance subtle blue tinted lenses, it's not hard to see why these sunnies are one of Versace's best selling and most worn designs. With the Versace logo on full view on the arms, these sunglasses spell out luxury and glamour with just one glance. They are currently on sale here at Blaze for just £69.95, but hurry, they won't be around for long!
Another Victoria Beckham inspired model that we have available at Blaze is the Boss Orange BO 0012/S Lilac Aubergine Sunglasses, which have soft curved lenses and a transparent lilac border which creates a modern, fun touch to the glamorous design. These shades, which are guaranteed to inject some colour and attitude into your winter wardrobe, are for sale here at Blaze for £89.95.
Last but not least, these Carrera Hippy 2 Grey White Black Sunglasses are the perfect accessory to create the Victoria Beckham look. The monochrome design, which has thick contemporary shaped frames and a sporty feel, will definitely turn a few heads when paired with jeans and a simple t-shirt. These shades also come in brilliantly bold colour combinations such as red, purple and blue and are priced at £64.95.

I had an all clad previously and really liked it. This one is horrible. The sloping tray makes it next to impossible to make pannini sandwiches as the cheese oozes out the side of the sandwich and down into the oil tray and the video showing the steak cooking doesn't really highlight the sloping tray. I would never recommend this especially at this price. Very disappointedDate published: 2018-12-05

For Ruth, 31, guiding is a way of giving something back to her community.
"I'm a big advocate of getting involved and giving back to your community.
"It's great to know that I'm helping to get 30-odd girls doing something constructive of an evening and giving them something to look forward to.
"We are quite involved in our community, too. We're working with the church to help out in the garden, growing food for a food share project and making soup.
"Last year we only managed potatoes but this year we grew loads of veg so it was a much more interesting soup!"
But Ruth, who joined Girlguiding Scotland as a Brownie and now runs Guide units in Musselburgh and West Dunbartonshire, says it's also opened doors for her personally.
She credits her guiding volunteering with bagging her traineeship when she was starting out as a family solicitor.
"Even though I come across as quite shy, the panel were really impressed with the volunteering I'd done with the Guides and Scouts in France during my university year out, including leading a camp for 24 young people.
"I've really enjoyed meeting and working with new people through guiding, too.
"It gives you a head start in work because you always have to get on with lots of different types of people."
And now Ruth, a keen runner, has given up her legal role and is looking for a role where she can help children and young people speak out.
"All the stuff Girlguiding and Girlguiding Scotland do to give girls a voice means I'm now really interested advocating for children who can get lost in the void."
So what's been Ruth's mountaintop moment with guiding?
"Definitely taking part in the Queen's Baton Relay as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
"I felt so privileged to be a part of it and the crowd were amazing!"

New Hampshire Home Insurance - What's Happening
When it comes to New Hampshire home insurance, there's good news. The average premium for homeowners policies sold during the second quarter was $662, roughly 20% lower than the national average. Why are premiums so low in this northeastern state? Weather might have something to do with it.
Despite cold, snowy winters, New Hampshire doesn't face many natural threats. The state's location on the East Coast can make it vulnerable to any tropical storms and hurricanes that make it far north. But for the most part, Granite State home insurance shoppers can get a soft landing.
How can you get the softest landing? Count on HomeInsurance.com to find you terrific coverage and affordable premiums. Our licensed agents do what you do with other commodities – comparison shop to find the best deals.
We'll ask some questions; then shop your New Hampshire home insurance with up to eight highly rated providers to find the policy that's right for you. And did we mention this: The quotes are free!

New Hampshire Home Insurance Report Card
We get that buying home insurance is complicated. We've demystified it by assigning each state grades based on information collected from HomeInsurance.com customers about their houses. It's a coloring-outside-the-lines approach that shows how factors about a home can affect what you pay for coverage.
Home (Grades related to the house itself)
Homes in the Granite State are older and substantially larger than other homes across the nation – neither factor bodes well for home insurance. Another strike against the state was high construction costs, which come into play in the event of a total loss. New Hampshire residents almost redeemed themselves by having sump pumps in their homes but ultimately still received an average score.
Average year built
Built in 1975, the average New Hampshire home is just 5 years older than the average U.S. home.
Average home size
The average size of a NH home is 2,194 square feet – about 11% larger than the national average.
Average replacement cost
At $308,651, the average replacement cost for a New Hampshire home is well above the U.S. average of $278,576.
% of homes with sump pump
On average, 17% of NH homes have a sump pump, compared with the national average of 15%.
Property (Factors related to the property and location)
New Hampshire had mixed reviews for property factors. On one hand, NH homeowners avoided owning ATVs and snowmobiles, which are big liability risks.
However, residents don't avoid swimming pools, which can also cause issues with liability. In fact, 25% of New Hampshire homeowners who bought policies from HomeInsurance.com during the quarter have a swimming pool – nearly 5 times as many as the national average. When it comes to home insurance, risky items like these can drive up premiums. It's not only safer not to have them but also less expensive.
Bonus (Other factors that influence your home insurance premiums)
% of homes with fire extinguishers
87% of NH homes reported having fire extinguishers, less than the U.S. average of 91.4%.
% of homes with dead bolt locks on exterior doors
Only 93% of homes in the state have dead bolt locks, compared with almost 96% nationwide.
% of homes with smoke detectors
NH homeowners take fire safety pretty seriously - 100% of homeowners who bought policies in Q2 have smoke detectors.
% of homes with security alarms
A mere 3% of homes in NH reported having security alarms, compared with the national average of 19.7%.
Overall Grade - C (ways to improve)
New Hampshire may have low average home insurance premiums, but the state's overall home insurance grade indicates that there's room for improvement. NH received low marks for having older, larger homes and high average building costs. Homeowners in the state failed to avoid certain liability risks and missed the mark on a few home safety points.

Students and jobseekers are being invited to attend the LEAF (Local Employment Advisory Forum) event, which will be held at the Magna Science Adventure Centre on Monday, 13th November 2017, from 12.30pm until 3.30pm.
This free event is being held for the fifth year running and brings together local businesses and organisations with hundreds of vacancies, showcasing employment and training opportunities in the area, as well as providing advice on how to gain the skills employers are looking for.
Last year, the event attracted over 1,400 people, including school and college students and jobseekers, wanting to find out about local training and employment opportunities. Some even received job offers on the day.
LEAF is not just a traditional jobs fair - it has a focus on helping people progress in the right career as well as supporting young people to make the right choices when planning their career pathways. It is suitable for anyone aged 13 years and upwards, as well as those currently seeking work.
Over 60 exhibitors will be on hand, ranging from Morrison Mears, Liberty Steel, Webhelp, New York Bakery and Rotherham NHS to provide information on current vacancies, knowledge of their industry, advice on how to gain the skills needed by employers and how to be successful in presenting yourself to a prospective employer.
Sectors represented include food manufacturing, engineering, health & social care, construction, Armed Forces, hospitality, warehouse and logistics.
Following last year's event, Careers Adviser Sarah Sykes from Aston Academy said: "Our students really enjoyed attending the LEAF event and found it beneficial. One of our students was able to find out more about the NHS and Rotherham College health apprenticeships. She had the opportunity to talk to staff from both organisations and she was really buzzing about it afterwards.
"At one point the student and I talked to an employer together and the student was thrilled to get positive feedback about her demeanour from the employer. When we returned to school she was motivated to complete her UCAS Progress application form and as she had found out the information at the event she was able to apply for the relevant course and apprenticeship opportunities."
A morning session is open to Rotherham schools and is by invitation only, with around 400 young people expected to attend.
During the afternoon session which is open to the public, there will also be business start-up support and advice available as well as help with writing a CV.
The winner of Rotherham's Young Entrepreneur of The Year Award will also be announced.
Mears Rotherham General Manager, Andy Chambers, said: "We are pleased to once again host the LEAF event along with our partners in Rotherham. We have always supported local employment initiatives and set up the Local Employment Advisory Forum to enable local people to find out more about improving their skills and offering information to help them succeed in their training and employment goals."
The event is sponsored by Mears and Rotherham Council, delivered in partnership with Jobcentre Plus, with event patrons; Phoenix Enterprises, University Centre Rotherham and Barnsley College.

Best Shots Review: MIDNIGHTER & APOLLO #1 'A Strong Debut' (9/10)
Midnighter and Apollo #1
Written by Steve Orlando
Art by Fernando Blanco and Romulo Fajardo, Jr.
Lettering by Josh Reed
Published by DC Comics
Review by C.K. Stewart
'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10
Steve Orlando has brought Midnighter back once more, with feelings - lots more feelings. After a short absence following the end of his solo run this May, Midnighter returns as one half of the World's Finest Couple (maybe) with his partner-in-crimefighting Apollo (definitely) for the first issue of a six-issue miniseries. If this issue is any indication, Orlando's latest outing in this corner of the DC universe promises to be a memorable one.
Midnighter and Apollo #1 immediately follows the events of the Midnighter finale as the pair navigate a rekindling romance against the backdrop of Henry Bendix's continued efforts to sow chaos through stolen God Garden technology. While Midnighter and Apollo derail effort after effort from low-level Garden-powered thugs, Bendix's presence looms large in his absence over their relationship in their discussions of Midnighter's methods and M's continued solo efforts to track Bendix night after night when he slips out while Apollo sleeps. Midnighter's quest for revenge continues to creep through their lives like a strangling vine as Bendix carefully goads him into trap that puts both their lives at risk and evokes a grim tale Apollo's Greek namesake might find keenly familiar.
This week's premiere issue is an excellent start to what promises to be an emotional and action-packed miniseries. New readers will definitely find themselves spoiled for Midnighter if they're coming in blind, but nothing about this issue feels unwelcoming to anyone trying out these characters for the first time. Midnighter and Apollo #1 manages to feel familiar and fresh all at once: Orlando and artist Fernando Blanco revisit much of the aesthetic decisions that made its predecessor so visually impressive, emphasizing Midnighter's analytical combat style with eye-catching cut out panels that draw the eye to the precision of Midnighter's movements and the care Blanco brings to illustrating them.
Though Midnigher's violent tendencies return here in full force, Blanco's style almost seems softer and more expressive, an interesting change that either by coincidence or design perfectly captures the more open and emotionally vulnerable Midnighter we're introduced to in the wake of his experiences in Orlando's Midnighter run. A close shot of Midnighter as he chats with Apollo after a casual dinner captures a touching warmth and fondness that wasn't as consistently evident before, adding layers of feeling over Orlando's strong script that make the book's cliffhanger particularly wrenching.
The emotional beats are as much a part of what makes Midnighter and Apollo #1 such a strong issue as the heart-pounding action sequences. Steve Orlando understands who Midnighter and Apollo are as characters, certainly, and while personally as a longtime fan it's a delight to see them together again it's also refreshing that Orlando takes care to remind us Midnighter has his own friends and his own motivations, and is as determined not to lose those things just to make things work with Apollo, as he is determined to make things work with Apollo in a way that doesn't leave them both wounded again.
Orlando's fondness for these characters and for the DC universe as a whole is palpable throughout – as is the depth of his knowledge, most notably in an almost comically Brady Bunch-esque gallery of underutilized rogues as Henry Bendix searches for allies in his quest to ruin Midnighter once and for all. (Many thanks to the Midnighter and Apollo team for the excellent makeover one villain in particular gets.) These moments are fun for DC fans with that breadth of knowledge, but Orlando never goes out of his way to litter the book with references so frequent or esoteric that casual readers won't still enjoy the book or miss any critical moments.
Midnighter and Apollo #1 is a strong debut issue for the miniseries, building on the world Orlando created in his groundbreaking Mindighter solo run but teasing a perhaps more supernaturally-imbued tale than we saw in Midnighter's first battle against the military industrial complex run amok. Fernando Blanco and Romulo Fajardo, Jr. keep the book visually consistent but offer up a slightly softer edge, emphasizing that Midnighter and Apollo #1 is a continuation and not a reboot; this is another welcome step in the journey that felt like it almost ended too soon in May.

Mickey Z. -- World News Trust
Dec. 15, 2012
"I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here: 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding both puppets!'"
With news that Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA) may soon be nominated for U.S. Secretary of State, it's a good time to re-visit one of the standard bullshit stories we heard from Obama voters about six weeks ago.
Classic lesser evil rationalization: Just wait till his second term; we'll see the real Obama.
Senator John F. Kerry (JFK2), who the real Obama wants to head the U.S. Department of State, is a man who voted for -- and wrote parts of -- the USA PATRIOT Act, a man who voted for the 1996 "welfare reform" law (read: class war against low-income mothers), a man who cast a "yes" vote in October 2002 for George W. Bush's plan to invade Iraq the following year. (Take note, Syria: Kerry justified that vote with the statement that "according to intelligence, Iraq has chemical and biological weapons.")
After that vote on Iraq, Kerry publicly pondered: "Why is Saddam Hussein attempting to develop nuclear weapons when most nations don't even try?" In 2004, JFK2 ran for president on a platform of sending even more troops to Iraq than Dubya was willing to commit.
In what universe does John F. Kerry represent change?
Further demonstrating how deeply he's internalized the values of the 1%, Kerry also famously declared that the Vietnam War was merely a "mistake."
While there are enough "errors" to fill volumes, let's take a brief look at the U.S. foreign policy "mistake" specifically cited by the man chosen by the real Obama to help guide current U.S. foreign policy.
In April 1954, Vice President Richard Nixon explained the need for U.S. intervention in Southeast Asia to the American Society of Newspaper Editors: "The Vietnamese lack the ability to conduct a war or govern themselves." Over the next two decades, the United States (accidentally) dropped the equivalent of one 500-pound bomb for every person living in Vietnam. (Those bomb bay doors need better latches.)
In February 1966, David Lawrence, editor of US News & World Report, wrote: "What the United States is doing in Vietnam is the most significant example of philanthropy extended by one people to another that we have witnessed in our times." When challenged with stories of American atrocities in Vietnam, Lawrence corrected his gaffe, "Primitive peoples with savagery in their hearts have to be helped to understand the true basis of a civilized existence." (Ah, much better.)
When at war with savages, you can rationalize dumping 400,000 tons of napalm on them. It was just one big faux pas… ain't that right, Secretary Kerry?
"During the Vietnam War, it was reported that cynical U.S. lawyers working in that country had coined the phrase 'mere gook rule' to describe the very lenient treatment given U.S. military personnel who killed Vietnamese civilians," writes Ed Herman. Or, as General William Westmoreland characterized the killing of Vietnamese civilians, "It does deprive the enemy of the population, doesn't it?"
That Westmoreland, he was always quick with a one-liner but don't "mistake" that for standard operating policy now, okay? Let's allow the guy a goof-up or two.
What Americans (by mistake) called the "Viet Cong" was really the National Liberation Front (NLF) and the NLF enjoyed the broad support of the Vietnamese people. In response, the U.S. Army began, as author Mark Zepezauer explains, "destroying villages, herding people into internment camps, weeding out the leaders and turning the countryside into a 'free-fire zone' (in other words, shoot anything that moves)."
Part of this terror campaign was Operation Phoenix, an assassination program put into action by the CIA. "The idea," says Zepezauer, "was to cripple the NLF by killing influential people like mayors, teachers, doctors, tax collectors -- anyone who aided the functioning of the NLF's parallel government in the South." (More of a blunder than a mistake, perhaps.)
"Between 1968 and 1972 hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese civilians were rounded up and turned over to the Vietnamese police for questioning," says former CIA agent, Ralph McGehee. "Such interrogation has usually been marked by brutal torture." (Our bad.)
"Some were tossed from helicopters during interrogation," adds Zepezauer. (Surely, they slipped.)
K. Barton Osborn was a U.S. military-intelligence officer in Vietnam who testified that Phoenix suspects were subject to electric shock torture and "the insertion into the ear of a six-inch dowel which was tapped through the brain until the victim died." (C'mon… anyone can confuse a six-inch dowel for a Q-Tip.)
William Colby, who later became CIA director, was the Agency official in charge of Operation Phoenix. Calling the program a "military necessity," he put the death toll at 20,587. (Pardon us.)
Asked by Congress: "Are you certain that we know a member of the VCI (Vietcong infrastructure) from a loyal member of the South Vietnam citizenry?"
Colby replied: "No, Mr. Congressman, I am not." (See: a mistake!)
Phoenix was a joint operation between the United States and the South Vietnamese who estimated the operation's death toll at 40,994. (Mea culpa.)
In his book, Nuremberg and Vietnam: An American Tragedy, Telford Taylor, chief U.S. prosecutor at Nuremberg, suggested that General Westmoreland and others in the Johnson administration (Democrats, btw) could be found guilty of war crimes under criteria established at Nuremberg (unless, perhaps, they use the "whoopsie daisy defense").
"The West has never been allowed to forget the Holocaust," says historian William Blum. "But who hears the voice of the Vietnamese peasant?" (Apparently not the current U.S. president or the next U.S. Secretary of State.)
As the planet braces for another four years of Obama's murderous interventions… I mean, mistakes... I have a question for all those who voted for the real Pope of Hope last month: Any luck yet scrubbing all that blood off your hands?

A while ago Hubby and I had an argument. It was unexpected and emotional but it cleared the air and we were in desperate need of that. The Hubster isn't really the loud confrontational type. He can hold his ground, don't get me wrong, but I guess I'd be called the firey one in our relationship.
I like to get everything out in the open and I'm not afraid of saying what I see. Seething isn't really my style nor is holding a grudge. However, one particular thing had kind of been on my mind from a few days before and ultimately my voicing it was the thing that ended the fight.
Don't assume I'm having a bad day, just because I'm having a bad moment."
It's true that Hubby had been living on a knife edge for the better part of a year. He confided that it'd gotten to the point where he was walking on egg shells for most of the time. While I'm not diminishing his feelings I had to say that I didn't think that was all down to my current behaviours. I think some of it was anticipatory feelings and the reality was that nothing that he was fearing was actually going to happen.
However, I think dealing with mental health, and especially when someone is suicidal, will undoubtedly leave you feeling that way. Fear had a hold of both of us but in different ways. The sick person in me didn't want to take responsibility for that. As the logical Katie that I am, I knew I had to.
I think Hubby had become so used to my bad days that even me voicing anything negative drove the fear that I wasn't going to be able to cope. That I was inevitably going to have a "bad day".
Take the incident that had bothered me as an example. I'd been up most of the night with different children equating to around three hours sleep. Hubby asked me what was wrong and I replied that I was tired. He kept asking me what else was wrong until I got annoyed and snapped at him that I WAS JUST TIRED. Later I asked him, wasn't that enough? Wasn't three hours sleep with a whole day of childcare ahead of me ENOUGH? It doesn't always have to be Post Natal Depression making me a bit quiet. He doesn't always have to worry if I'm suicidal because I'm not as chirpy as the birds outside our kitchen window.
I explained that if I am going to get better we have to stop tagging every little thing with PND. If he keeps telling me that I'm having a bad day then I'm going to have a bad day. We need to start separating the two. I can be momentarily annoyed that he doesn't rinse the dishes and simply leave it at that. He doesn't have to try and counsel me to ensure I'll survive the day.
I feared that the fallout of PND would last long after I became better. I often worried that I won't ever get this time back with my kids but I'd not really considered my relationship. I just naively assumed it would settle and continue on. It's really important we acknowledge that mental health not only changes the person who is sick, it also has a profound affect on those around them. The truth is, Hubby needed support just as much as I did.

In line with the objective of the Sustainable Livelihood Program to create an enabling environment for accessing income-generating opportunities to address basic needs, the scheme of the program is to create a group called SLP Association that will manage a microenterprise. One of the major challenges the program faces is the sustainability of operation of the SLPA itself. In the project implementation stage, beneficiaries are challenged to be continuously capacitated towards self-governance and sustain the operations since there is a limited access to technical assistance, which can be associated to the geographical location and terrain of MIMAROPA. Technical experts and resource persons are challenged to reach beneficiaries from far-flung areas which affects the timely and efficient delivery of services.
In the aspect of marketing the products, most of the microenterprises have no appropriate branding and packaging for their products. Thus, there is a challenge in meeting the standards of the competitive market nowadays. Thus, the Ambulong SLP Association of Brgy. Limon Sur, Looc, Romblon focused on addressing this concern.
Womenpreneurs of Ambulong
Ambulong SLPA is a 100% women-owned business composed of 20 members engaged in banana chips processing. It was funded in November 2017 under the Seed Capital Fund and Cash for Building Livelihood Assets amounting to a total of PHP 245,000.00. Before the implementation of the program, most of the members worked as vegetable vendors and housemaids earning PHP 3,500.00 to PHP 4,000.00 a month. There were also housewives who wanted to earn extra income to support their families.
Upon market analysis, the SLPA identified banana chips processing as a viable livelihood considering the abundant resource of banana in the municipality. They built a small processing center along highway where they sell their products.
To further improve their skills in the chosen microenterprise, members enrolled in series of trainings involving techniques in banana chips processing. After a few months of operation, they have already acquired assets including additional tables and kitchen utensils. They can also afford to purchase bigger quantity of raw ingredients such as sacks of sugar and liters of oil.
Good Practices Leading to Improvement
Product Enhancement
- The banana chips became thinner and crispier. They replaced the existing cooking oil they use with the one of a better quality. Though the replacement is a little expensive, customers' feedback on banana chips is more favorable.
- After the training, the number of flavors of banana chips increased from two to five. Flavors include Original, Sweet, Salted, Sour Cream, and Pandan.
- Based on the customers' feedback, the use of wood than LPG in cooking results to better and tastier banana chips.
Product Packaging
- The association outsourced a graphic artist to create the official logo of the product.
- To maintain the crispiness of banana chips, the association sought the technical assistance of DTI to improve the packaging from the ordinary clear plastic sealed through heat sealer machine to resealable plastic pouch.
- The packaging has label that includes the (1) manufactured and expiration dates, (2) ingredients, (3) weight, and (4) promotional ad of the product.
- The SLPA has already secured barangay, mayor's, and sanitary permits. It has also been a CSO-accredited association since 2017. DTI has shown its unwavering support through the provision of packaging and labeling of banana chips that is product-appropriate and bear relevant information about the product.
Lessons Learned
- The quality of a product is critical in satisfying the customers, thus a business should always maintain the highest possible standards.
- Always consider the feedback of customers. This will help improve the quality of a product.
- Food safety and sanitation in a food industry should not be underestimated.
- Having the right marketing strategy is important to promote and sell the products.
The initiative of the SLPA to seek for technical assistance form external partners/agencies that can potentially contribute to the development of a product is very commendable. Members should find experts who can help provide new knowledge and skills to the project participants.
Microenterprises should prioritize product development and product packaging. Other associations can also outsource an expert to create their own logo and packaging. Also, associations must secure all the important documents to avoid inconvenience in business transactions. These include business permits, Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding, Constitutions and By-Laws, and many more. ###

I'm always searching for new things to acquire (or re-purpose) for use as photo props. While not long ago the prospect of going shopping was near the the bottom of the "what I like to do" list, now each excursion holds the potential of being a treasure hunt for small or colorful or textured or just plain odd pieces that might add visual interest to my photos.
I've also taken to 'shopping' around our house. Now, not only are items commandeered for use in the studio, they are also 'borrowed' (never to be returned to their rightful place lest I forget what a cool photo prop they are) and
hidden tucked in the photo accessory cabinet for future stardom.
The wooden prop used above was actually a small gift I had given Billy. He likes to use olive wood spatulas and spoons while cooking so I am always on the lookout for new ones for him. This was purchased in Shackford's, a kitchen supply store here in Napa that I love. They have been around for years and it seems they always have just the (odd) thing I am looking for, be it for cooking or art!
I purchased this spatula because it had the loveliest grain to it that I thought Billy would like, and I'll confess, I am a sucker for a nice pattern. The spatula that was currently in service was also due for retirement. Unfortunately, it fell victim to one of my photo prop hunts and it now looks as though this spatula will never see the inside of a saucepan. I love how it displays a pair of beads. (that old spatula still has a few good
years months left in it after all!)

Making your own wooden clothes pegs can be a great way to incorporate crafts into your daily routine. Instead of buying more and more things to fill your home, why not try and make something practical? With a few commonly found materials, you can build you own unique, very functional clothes pegs. The purpose of these clothes pegs (also called clothespins) is to hold clothing on a wire by pinching fabric over a wire, secured in place by the clothes pegs.
Cut your wooden strip material into 4-inch-long lengths. You will need two of these lengths for each clothes peg, so cut twice as many strips as you would like to make into clothes pegs. For example, if you want four clothes pegs, cut eight strips from your wooden strip material. Buy flat wooden stripping from a local building store, which is often sold as trim material to be used around the edges of tables or counter tops. The type of wood is not important, although hardwoods will last longer.
Fasten two strips together by tightly winding a length of galvanised wire around one end of the sandwiched wood slats. Wrapping the wire around at least eight to 10 times with enough force to slightly cut the wire into the wood to prevent the wood slats from slipping out. You should use galvanised wire because it will not rust or discolour your clothing. Repeat this step to obtain the number of pins you want. You will want to use 10-gauge wire, which you can find at your local building store.
Place a small piece of scrap wood strip between the wood slats at the opposite end of the wire to separate the tips slightly. Use the same wood as used for the clothes pegs for the spacer between them.
Submerse the clothespins with the piece of scrap wood between the tips in your bucket of warm water for 30 minutes then remove and allow them to dry in the sun for a few hours. Soaking the thin wood strips in the water will allow them to become more flexible, allowing them to keep the shape of the bend created with the spacer when dried.
Remove the spacer and use the pegs by securing clothing to a line by pinching the cloths and line between the wood slats.
Most recent
- If the bend did not set after soaking, soak for a longer period (two hours) with a slightly larger (double) spacer followed by drying, as some woods will take the shape they are soaked in better than others.

sw1fty posted a topic in Cars for SaleSelling my daily type X. 101,000km, 1998 model, factory midnight purple, in great condition except a small dent/scrape to the drivers side front guard (stop/start traffic barely touched the other car). Has NSW rego until 28 January 2016. Everything is stock except: - 5 stud with S15 front brakes and R33 rears - S15 T28BB turbo - Alpine head unit Bad points: - ABS doesn't work, has a warning light SOLD!!
T28bb tuned with bigger cams, issues?
mvp.07 posted a topic in Nissan Silvia (nissansilvia.com)Need some help! Did a search but couldn't come up with anything related to my specific issue. Probably for good reason Have been working on a project s14a with the intention of running a stock set up for the time being while focusing on reliability mods, current mods listed below. The car was modified previously but i bought it without complete hot side, ecu, exhaust, fmic and other small bits. Slowly collecting parts and building it in my spare time. Anyway now the dilemma, pulled of the rocker cover to install some rocker arm stoppers and to my surprise found a set of HKS 264 cams. Now originally i thought the engine had stock cams, so i was going to run a T28bb turbo (12psi) with 370cc stock injectors and stock ecu to get me up and running while i saved for more power later on. Future mods planned for the next few months were 550cc injectors, Z32 AFM and Nistune for a reliable responsive set up (aiming 190-200kw). Current Mods: T28bb turbo (14411-91F00) S15 injectors Walbro fuel pump FMIC Koyo radiator 3" Exhaust Stainless intake with pod RAS Braided turbo lines Oil cooler Baffled sump Nismo mounts Major service Question So now I have to reorganize my priorities with not being able to run the HKS cams on a stock ecu. What are peoples thoughts on running the T28bb with 264 cams, will obviously need injectors (550cc minimum), z32 AFM and Nistune done. If I found 256 cams then it would have be a no brainer and got the setup tuned asap but now I'm abit worried with 264 cams. Don't really want to upgrade turbo either at this stage as i'll be pushing those mods above up the time line, so moneys tight! Thoughts on how it'll run?

Bathrooms have come a long way as technology has allowed for improvements to bathroom vanities and sinks, commercial toilets and bathtubs One would think its not that hard to change the properties of a toilet or shower, but technology has revolutionized our modern toilets and bathtubs and given us fresh perspective on appearance and functionality.
Usable flushing toilets have been around in since the 1600s, but some people chose not to use them. When Queen Elizabeth I was presented with a flushing toilet, she refused to use it because it made too much noise. Nowadays, indoor plumbing and other technology such as walk in baths have paved the way for modern bathrooms. Although pressure assisted toilets may seem more expensive tha

Top 3 Best Free Antivirus for Mac OS-X
Mac OS-X – The Need of Free Antivirus for Mac
There used to be a time when Mac computers were considered almost 'virus-proof'. It was thought that Windows machines are the only one susceptible to the virus and malware.
This notion was true to some extent also. Mac users are considered, in general, to be more tech-savvy as compared to their Windows users counterparts. They supposedly use sophisticated applications, many of which are the paid ones. On the other hand, Windows is a platform, which is extensively used by people on the lower pedestal of tech-savviness. Some of the Windows users rely of cheap or pirated versions of the applications, which make them vulnerable to the malware threats.
But, situation is changing. With the growth and popularity of Mac machines and devices, malware developers are getting attracted to this lot as well. More and more malware are surfacing, which are targeting the unsuspecting Mac OS-X operating system exclusively. Last year the Mac Defender rogue, which was targeted exclusively at Mac OS-X has created lot of damage to the reputation of the Mac machines and since then, many security vendors have developed and released free antivirus for Mac OS-X.
Here is a Youtube live video, which shows just an example of an malware, which is trying to infect your Mac machine. The video is courtesy of Sophos Labs, a pioneer in the security applications both for Mac as well as Windows machines.

Colt Peacemaker of 1873
This .45-caliber has long been considered "the gun that won the West." Noted for its power and reliability, it was the most popular full sized revolver of the late 1800s. Turned out by the Colt Fire Arms Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, it sold for $17 by mail order. A classic single action revolver, it remains in production today.
The model 1873 revolver, commonly known as the Colt Single Action, Peacemaker, or Frontier, was actually developed in 1872, based on the patents granted to Charles B. Richards and W. Mason. In 1873, the US Army adopted this revolver along with its black powder centerfire cartridge of .45 caliber, and issued it to troops in 2 models, the Cavalry model with a 71?2 inch barrel, and the artillery model with a 51?2 barrel. Both were chambered in .45 Colt (also known as .45Long Colt or .45LC).
Colt also initially produced the same gun in .44-40 WCF and .32-20WCF for the civilian market. The company later added more modern chamberings similar to the .38 S&W Special (.38Spl), the .44 S&W Special (.44Spl), .357 Magnum, .22LR. Civilian guns also were available in various barrel lengths, varying from 43?4 inches and up to 12 inches.
During the period from 1873 and until 1893, the US Army bought about 37,000 Colts of both models. Commercial production was ceased in 1941, with the outbreak of the World War II, with about 370 000 guns having been made in all. Then, in 1956, Colt brought the Single Action back into production due to the popular demand by the TV and film industry for "Wild West" era guns.
The "First Generation" Single Action Colts were the ones made from 1873 until 1941 (serial numbers below 357860 and with no letters). Colts made from 1956 until another cease in production in 1974 are called "Second Generation" (serial numbers in the range from 0001SA to 73319SA). Yet a "Third Generation" Single Action Army models (.45 Colt, .44 Special, .44-40 and .357 Magnum) were offered in 1976 after the company developed newer equipment and production techniques. Once again, in 1981, Colt dropped production, and for some time these legendary revolvers were available only as an expensive collectibles. At the present time, Colt again offers these guns as regular products, in the .45LC, .357Mag and .44-40, and in all standard barrel lengths.
