128 down to 8 and by Wednesday night the draw will half again but who will make the semi-finals?
Novak Djokovic v Kei Nishikori
Who is this a bigger match for? We're still waiting for Kei to go big at a major since US Open 2014 and bizarrely people still doubt Novak.
For me this is a no brainier! Novak is the favourite for me especially over a best of 5 scenario and he's played a great tournament so far!
Kei can challenge but I just doubt a sustained one over 5 sets
Milos Raonic v John Isner
Competition time,
Who will hit more aces?
This will be decided on who takes risks and with these two big serves taking risks is something I don't think we will see too much of as they can get picked off. Despite having to pull out of Queens in the buildup Raonic has looked sharp and likewise has Isner who has nullified his opponents weapons this week.
Tough one to call, is Raonic at a level to contend yet?
Roger Federer v Kevin Anderson
Roger hasn't really been tested yet. Kevin will want to do this and the surface will help his serve and he has to look to mix it up and stay strong on serve. I like Kevin's game, he has moved away from that big guy, big serve image and has improved his baseline and net game.
He will have to play with conviction. He can at times go into the net without conviction and be picked off so hanging in and getting to tiebreak will be key!
Juan Martin Del Potro v Rafael Nadal
Fireworks time 👌🏻
Not too sure what the expect from this one! Rafa is in his first QF at Wimbledon since 2011 and Del Potro is in great form on a whole this season!
Del Po has looked solid but hasn't blown anyone away yet and I'm a big fan of his but if he is to beat Nadal the level does need to be better.
Nadal is playing well but I feel like everyone is waiting for him to slip up as it is grass. This is the first big test so the pressure is on for both!

I just got back from BMW of Nashville and saw the M3 demo - it was LSB with gray interior.
Some comments:
1) I saw the car outside and in the area where the car is being PDI'ed. Looks totally different in sunlight and under flourescent lights. Much lighter in sunlight ("baby blue" like) and a darker shade inside.
2) The exhaust tips are not very attractive.
3) Front bumper and hood dome are nice.
All in all, the car is nice. My only comment is that those of you who will be geting LSB certainly owe it to yourself to see the color in person. Not as bad as some here have said, but not too great a color either.

Roger Gracie is finally set to make his Strikeforce debut — and Strikeforce officials better hope he makes a better showing than Rolles Gracie put on at UFC 109.
Gracie, the 2005 ADCC champion, could potentially face former UFC heavyweight champion Kevin Randleman at the St. Louis show. MMA Junkie reported today that Rameau Thierry Sokodjou is also under consideration as Gracie's first opponent under the Strikeforce banner.
Gracie is a second-degree black belt in jiu-jitsu under Carlos Gracie Jr, and is easily one of the most decorated grapplers to ever step into mixed martial arts.

Scientific approach to art
French artist Jean-Luc Feugas displays his works in a solo exhibition 'Désordre' at Kalakriti Art Gallery
French artist Jean-Luc Feugas displays his works in a solo exhibition 'Désordre' at Kalakriti Art Gallery
Kalakriti Art Gallery is hosting an exhibition titled 'Désordre' by Jean-Luc Feugeas. For over a decade Jean-Luc Feugeas from Bordeaux, France, has been expressing his ideas on canvas with the background of sounds, shapes and microscopic thought-process due to his experience in mathematics and music.
Being a mathematician, Jean conducts research programmes in a group of theoretical physics at the University of Bordeaux. Jean says, "My scientific thinking on entropy, order and disorder, chaos and equilibrium are reflected in my art process. When I talk about 'equilibrium', it means how a simple glass of water can make us feel that the inside water content is at peace. But actually, if a scientific detailing is done, one is able to see the disorder in which thousands of minute particles are moving helter-skelter within the very water that looks so calm.
"For me, there is always a contrast of what looks to be in order and that which invariably has a peculiar kind of disorder within. Similar is the case of thinking about certain patterns which have a twofold outlook."
Among his works there are some series of paintings where the drawings have been made with a single line. He says, "It's also, in contrast, to seeing the alternate of two colours bringing in the aspect of empty/full, black/white, etc. For me, the journey of art has been deeply influenced by my day to day work and scientific study which includes 'Mathematics' and 'Physics'. At times mixed media brings out the element of 'surface tension', which could be an order or disorder in itself."
"Art is a simple democratic process and it's all about the abstract or real, the seen or unseen, the hidden or the visible form; very much two-fold," Jean signs off.
What: 'Désordre' - An exhibition by Jean-Luc Feugeas.
Where: Kalakriti Art Gallery, Banjara Hills.
When: Till February 15.
Time: From 10 am to 7 pm.

Love &Relationships. It is very important to understand that these are my views to which you may chose to agree or 25, in reading this section. None- the- less, you may well end up in the future and also find them to be crucial in making conclusions.
Do not live as thoughyou're married, if you aren't married. A toast is not a marriage but a toast is surely sealed by a marriage! Your partner pledges to be dedicated to you, After married. However, when pledged, they don't have any Lexington Tennessee new craigslist for casual encounters obligation for you. Be cautious about committing marital privileges Should you haven't been married by them.
Nobody is excellent. We are all flawed somehow or an additional. . . which includes you, as well. If you anticipate the woman to be absolutely perfect and also need that, you will certainly constantly be dissatisfied. Demanding perfectionism in your work is one thing.
Try to tease a craigslist casual encounters pic Lexington Tennessee out either by asking questions that are leading or by speaking about matters. Allow minutes of silence without filling them with unnecessary chatter and sound, to happen. Men are less conversational than girls, so cut him some slack. The odds are that, as he becomes more comfortable with you, the discussions will probably come more naturally and.
However, hmmm. . . Here was a man with a very short but rather enticing profile. All he said was that he loved the arts, particularly opera and ballet. He enjoyed travel and thought he was" somewhat spontaneous. " He explained he wasn't looking for a" soul mate" because he had two dogs for that purpose.
Be cautious of his pals as well as the company he keeps. There's a level of comfort there he may identify with in his character, as much as you want to think thatyou're guy is different than them, bottom line is if he is spending tons of time with them. casual encounters it gals! If he has friends which you get, you are in a position to appreciate who they are and you realize thatyou're like minded, keep going, you have a good one in your hands. However, if you understand that flags are being tossed up by the choice of his friends, pay attention and do not ignore the signs.
If a relationship is not functioning, the male will often leave the connection. If the female partner initiates the breakup, the conventional" macho male" will often seek the ending of the relationship instead of agree to a therapeutic separation. It takes a man who's sensitive, patient, caring, flexible, and open to change to participate in a recovery separation.
No one is excellent. We are all flawed somehow or an additional. . . which includes you, as well. If you expect the female to be definitely excellent and also need that, you will constantly be dissatisfied. Demanding perfectionism in your work is something.
And the non- attachment you are able to learn from that lesson will enhance your confidence levels. By learning how to put value be they friends or experiences, you'll be bound. By comparison you'll be able to jump on an airplane in a moment's notice, and you won't feel like you need to watch your treasure horde over and go without worrying about what to do about your own big- screen TV, pursue some life target or experience.
This set belief comes through when we would like to talk to women. He'll want to compensate if a kik casual encounters Lexington Tennessee believes he has less significance than a Lexington TN post ad for casual encounters. He'll want to do things for her to attempt to make up for the gap in value that he believes exists between him and the girl. She of course doesn't believe there's any gap between her and him. He's up with this all by himself.
Another thing about profile pictures is they get you alter them on social networks auto saved on your profiles. Personals for casual encounters Lexington is an album, which can be automatically generated in your Facebook profile pictures', which contains the history of the profile images you've put on so far. Be sure that you go on and delete. It not only gives you closure but also keeps dates from refraining to get you, believing you might be attached to your ex. In addition, don't upload images of you along with your ex. Since there's an ear, a hand, or a cheek in the photo, you could tell. Just don't do it! Intelligent Profile Pictures Social behavior over the Internet has developed tremendously through recent years. Individuals have become increasingly aware of the approaches to portray themselves in order to project. It is now easy to fool people over the Internet using a edits. Make certain you exploit this to the fullest degree that is possible. Make sure it is cleverly edited by to, before uploading any profile picture. Editing could be in a variety of facets. You may want to crop out your ex girlfriend. You might also want to boost the picture's color. Remember, the idea is not to fool folks into believing you look than what you are, something. It's by editing if that may be enhanced not do it, and to market yourself the very best way possible. It is currently dating and not union. Moreover, because a lot of the internet dating is based on what you see and experience on the Internet, you might as well make the entire utilization of exactly the same.
Communicating Between Dates you have your next and subsequent dates set up, you will come across a pure communicating rhythm with each casual sex feels unwanted between dates. Some people will want to check in several times each day or daily. Others will only reach out to confirm details of your next date.
For me, relationship took asking to see driver's licenses. . . just interested in the picture clearly. . . and bracing myself for that awkward conversation where I casual encounters them know that if I explained I graduated lately, I meant from University.
It makes me angry. I would never make someone wait on my behalf when I have no intention of showing up. You can usually tell whether the episode was real or not. An alternate date is set by her and if you speak to her, she does and was being truthful need to meet. If she doesn't offer up another opportunity to meet and cancels for whatever reason, it is completed. Don't suggest or ask her to fulfill a different day. She knows the drill, even if she cancelled and wants to see you, she will suggest it. I had a series of these happen to me recently. My recommendation is always to minimize the wait. If it's possible to meet her the next day, do this.
Once you begin following words you have reviewed here you will certainly understand that you literally have no competitors. REALLY LITTLE are mosting likely to act in this fashion as well as you really can beat out any kind of individual you find living by doing this. It's that whole being focused point. Its confidence, its satisfaction. Some people do have a little of one or the various other yet most just do not have it together. They have one component like the self- confidence yet are still sort of as well much or needy of a prick or they score ladies as well as don't know how to look after them. They do not expect the indications of reducing tourist attraction degrees as well as readjust accordingly. You literally need to be paying attention to the level of tourist attraction in any way times. It is just one of the most integral Lexington TN how to find prostitutes of hanging on to the relationship. Sometimes you may be offering to much focus as well as need to back off and occasionally not nearly enough. You actually have to" date" your female for the remainder of your life. Obtaining comfortable is often among the very first methods a person screws up. Loyalty and stability is the other. Lady don't want to contend for your interest and also they most definitely do not intend to catch you in a lie. Simply do not exist about anything at all ever before. Despite what the reality is it's better to obtain it out then attempt to conceal it as well as create more damages. Do not also take notice of other ladies unless you are with the kind of girl that's right into to having a look at asses and crap as well as even after that you still have to ensure you put her initial and also let her know she is the unique one as well as all the ways she is better. Ladies love listening to things like that. They love themselves and rightfully so they are incredible creatures. Due to the fact that of this, they are hard to keep a hold of. Additionally because in this day as well as age there are so numerous more alternatives around.
He Lives Life On His Terms The man that is attractive is not insecure therefore he doesn't get affected by other people's opinions. His mood doesn't change just because a woman said something negative. He simply brushes the comment off and continue to have fun.
So, this is important. You're preventing sexually transmitted diseases. You are currently preventing pregnancy. You are opening up the amount of conversation. You're not allowing your no strings attached casual encounters apps Lexington Tennessee to control you since you are a Being that is tri- Bound: you are mind, body, and soul. Men have to get educated about sex. Don Juan, I doubt it! I'm sure, when it comes to the idea of what sex is short. Ladies, I would love that you start to have conversations with your men so they know how to please you. I triggers that Puritanical Shame and Blame mindset, and know this touches a nerve. Guys are insecure, and they need sex dating: www.hotsxxs.com Lexington step around the plate. Men are been battling insecurity due to this fact society pushed them down and robbed them of the capability provide for a household as the sole supplier. Not being the supplier, it's kicked them in the balls, actually. Their pride has been discharged by it and their penis has been influenced by pride. So people must revert to the blue pill because they don't understand what is going on. Men that are older are understood by me bodily things occur, but where do those bodily symptoms come from? You will have the ability to provoke them in every manner Should you join to your guys through touch and communication via intimacy. This isn't designed to specific gender or sex, this isn't about ifyou're gay or free casual encounters Lexington, this is all about a relationship, this is about knowing what your partner needs within a romantic level. This is about opening your awareness. That is about understanding that females want for you to be vulnerable to truly have a relationship that is complete. Being right, being prepared, supplying and protecting is not. The sounding board is needed by her. She needs the aid system. She needs the man that will tell her, " Hey, girl you look good today. And I needed you to know I love you. " She wants without being requested, that guy that will take the trash out. When you explain things to 14, and girls, that guy, he enjoys. He loves if you hold him and look at him as if he's the unbelievable hulk. These ideas and tools are not new, so you don't need to go fumbling about in the dark dating 32, but we are gathering them together.

Love Ireland! Yes, if by 'Ireland' you mean not only the earth and the waters, but the men and the women, the boys and the girls – the people of Ireland, in fact.
Ireland without her people is nothing to me, and the man who is bubbling over with love and enthusiasm for 'Ireland', and can yet pass unmoved through our streets and witness all the wrong and the suffering, the shame and the degradation wrought upon the people of Ireland, aye, wrought by Irishmen upon Irishmen and women, without burning to end it, is, in my opinion, a fraud and a liar in his heart, no matter how he loves that combination of chemical elements which he is pleased to call 'Ireland'.

Mobile MammographyFrom 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. on November 4, 2019
The Mercy Health Mobile Mammography will be on campus Monday, November 4 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. outside the Sara T. Landess.
- Mammography screenings are for women only.
- Individuals must be able to walk up 4 steps and stand unassisted for 15 minutes.
- It needs to be at least 1 year since her last mammogram.
- A doctor order is not required for women 35 and older. Women who are 34 and younger must have an order from a doctor for a screening mammogram.
- 3D and 2D mammograms available.
- Accepts most insurance plans. No-cost screening for those who qualify.
Who is eligible for screening?
Mobile Mammography is for any woman 35 and older that has not had a mammogram in the last 12 months. She does not need a doctor order for a screening mammogram if she is 35 or older. Women under 35 can be screened, but MUST bring an order from their doctor to do so. She must be able to walk up 4 steps to get inside the mobile unit.
How do participants schedule a 15-minute appointment?
Call Mobile Scheduling at 937-523-9332. If insured, be able to provide their insurance information and, if they have had a mammogram in the past, when and where the previous mammogram was completed.
Do participants have to have a doctor to be screened?
No. If a woman does not have a doctor, we can still screen her, and, provide her with information on how to get a doctor, if she desires one.
Who cannot be screened on the Mobile Unit?
Anyone who is unable to walk up 4 steps and stand for the duration of the screening, any woman who is pregnant or nursing, any woman under 35 without a doctor order, or anyone who has a diagnostic need. (This would include all men or a woman displaying symptoms or currently in treatment for breast cancer).
What about insurance?
Most health insurance plans cover preventative mammogram screening. She should check with her insurance provider for exact coverage from Springfield Regional. If she does not have insurance, financial assistance is available through Susan G. Komen, Columbus for uninsured and underinsured women. She can ask for more information when she calls to schedule.
Is 3D screening covered by insurance?
Every plan should cover 2D, but if she's interested in 3D, she can verify with her insurance. Ask if "breast tomosynthesis" is covered with procedure code 77063 and 77067. Each insurance plan is different and more companies are starting to include 3D in their coverage. If 3D is not covered, she has the option to get a 2D screening or pay for the upgrade to 3D herself.
Are walk-ins welcome?
Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed. It would depend on the schedule since walk-ins would take longer than 15-minutes. It is best if everyone schedules ahead for their guaranteed appointment time.
What do participants bring the day of the event?
Women should arrive 5-10 minutes before their scheduled appointment with their photo ID, insurance card and, if not already provided during the scheduling call, the address location of their current doctor, if applicable.
What happens if a concern is found on a participant's mammogram?
It is in that woman's best interest, and it would be our expectation, that she follow-through with further testing as advised. The Springfield Regional Imaging Navigator will guide and assist any woman through this experience should the need arise.

Last month, Williams announced plans to bring its entire fleet and base of operations to Redmond, consolidating two existing sites in Prineville and Terrebonne for greater efficiency. His company ships and delivers freight and cargo using more than 200 power units throughout the lower 48 states and Canada and employs 170 drivers and 45 office staff members at its headquarters. By doing so, Central Oregon Trucking is taking full advantage of several local and state incentives to attract enterprise to the Redmond area and spur job growth in an anemic economy.
Construction of the new trucking home is due to start sometime this year and is sure to be the cornerstone of a burgeoning renaissance of business in Redmond and a shining example of creative commerce at its best, ensuring the pale green Omega Seamaster Gmt Black White
CEO Rick Williams has been at the helm of the massive transportation operation for nearly twenty years and has been vocal in his enthusiasm for the good business promotions extended by the City of Redmond.
"We as a community spend a lot of time recruiting businesses to Central Oregon," Smith explained. "Imagine if a major one were to leave and take with it all its operations. That would be bad. The City of Redmond and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) came together to keep a great company right here in Central Oregon."

Viruses in horticulture crops
Viruses in horticulture crops
Active surveillance and measures to prevent introduction, establishment and spread of viral infection is critical. Early detection will minimise crop losses. If new viral-like symptoms are suspected then positive presence will need to be quickly established by a diagnostic laboratory.
Many viruses can remain symptomless or symptoms can be confused with other issues such as mineral deficiencies, poor growing conditions, other virus or diseases. They cannot grow outside of their living hosts and consist merely of a nucleic acid core and a protein coat. How the virus is expressed in plants can be dependent upon cultivar, how much is present or if there are mixed infections. Viruses are too small to be seen and identified with a hand lens or microscope and new specific techniques such as ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) and LAMP (loop mediated isothermal amplification) are required to confirm the virus. Once an identification has been made, appropriate control strategies can be implemented. There are no chemical methods of control available and strategies primarily rely on prevention through use of virus free seed, resistant cultivars and good hygiene. AHDB Horticulture research has focussed on virus prevention and identification for example PC 229 ''Wash and Grow': The development of non-destructive tomato seed testing' developed a test capable of detecting the presence of Pepino mosaic virus, Potato spindle tuber viroid (and potentially other tomato-infecting viroids) and Tomato mosaic virus.
Viruses are spread by vectors, having no means of movement in themselves, examples of these are crop workers, visitors, aphid, whitefly and Thrips. Control of these pests is an important part of the strategy. Although some are very specific others can be found in a wide range of host plants so cleanliness around the glasshouse is important.
AHDB has funded limited virus research work but the general principles of biosecurity apply to all virus threats. Specific problematic viruses in UK glasshouse crops that AHDB have funded work on are:
- Pepino mosaic virus, this Potex virus can affect aubergine and tomato but only tomato shows symptoms.
- Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (Tobamovirus group), affects cucurbits.
- Tomato spotted wilt virus, more common on ornamentals but also affects lettuce, tomato and pepper.
There are many other potential viral threats and symptoms to look out for that are documented in the AHDB Crop Walker Guides. Fera recommend that any plants which are exhibiting symptoms such as chlorosis, bronzing, leaf distortion or reduced growth should be notified to the Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate.
Pepino mosaic virus
Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a mechanically transmitted virus in Potex (Potato virus X (PVX)) group and is extremely contagious. Hands, clothing and tools are believed to be the primary means of spread. Nursery experience indicates there is a significant risk of carry-over once a nursery is affected. Results from AHDB project PC 181 'Protected tomato: sources, survival and disinfection of Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV)' in 2000 advised:
- Nine disinfectants were fully effective against PepMV in dried leaf sap when used at their recommended rates and with 1 hour contact time.
- Two disinfectants were effective against PepMV in both dried leaf sap and fruit juice after just 1 minute contact time.
- Washing contaminated hands with Sensisept soap followed by Med gel eliminated transmissible PepMV. Washing in water alone was not effective.
- Washing rigid plastic (e.g. picking trays) in water at more than 60°C for 3 minutes removed contamination by PepMV in dried leaf sap and dried fruit sap.
- Pressure washing rigid plastic with water at more than 50°C, and at 1300 psi, for 3 seconds, removed contamination by PepMV in dried leaf sap and dried fruit sap.
For more information see AHDB Factsheets 12/00 'Pepino mosaic, a new disease of tomatoes', 11/01 'New results on pepino mosaic of tomato' and 20/03 'Pepino mosaic virus of tomato - new results on virus persistence and disinfection'. Please check current pesticide regulations before use.
Further technical review work (TR-PE 001) in 2014 looked at the topic of cross-protection. Cross-protection is a phenomenon in which plants infected with one strain of a virus are protected from the effects of superinfection with other related strains. In the longer term it is hoped suitable genetic resistance will be incorporated into commercial tomato varieties. A project PE 025 'Development and deployment of genotype-specific LAMP (loop mediated isothermal amplification) assays for monitoring Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV)' in tomato began in July 2015.
One aim of the project was to establish LAMP assays so that rapid on-site testing of tomato plants for three different genotypes of PepMV is possible. It was found that the primers tested were strain specific and successful at detecting PepMV infection of CH2, US1 and EU strains. The project also investigated which strains were found on commercial nurseries. CH2 was the most prevalent but mixed strain infection was also found in crops with one, two or three strains present. Those including US1 showing the most severe fruit symptoms.
The research sampled three nurseries for PepMV at the end of the season before clean-up, then documented clean-up procedure and retested in the same areas. After the clean-up process at all sites there was a drop in the number of positive swabs. The surfaces where detectable PepMV was most likely to remain were those in close, sustained contact with plant material. Additionally, electrical switches, circuit boards and equipment posed an issue as these surfaces were the most difficult to disinfect thoroughly and safely.
Following testing by the LAMP assay, a sub-sample of positive swabs were tested by sap-inoculation tests at Fera, to determine if the PepMV detected was still viable and capable of causing disease. None of the swabs taken at any point produced tomato plants that tested positive for PepMV by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Seemingly, the majority of PepMV remnants fail to be viable after disinfection, though the virus may still be detected. However, only a small amount of viable PepMV needs to remain after end of year clean up to initiate an infection in the new crop, so every care should be taken. In addition, effective clean up practices also eliminate carry-over of other viruses, and fungal and bacterial disease agents.
The project also looked at PepMV survival in roots, soil and compost. PepMV continued to be detected in tomato roots left in glasshouse soil up to 6 weeks after crop removal (the usual interval between pull-out and re-planting). After the first sampling at time of pull out, transmission of PepMV to tomato seedlings was not confirmed. It is possible that non-viable virus was detected by ELISA test, and as no transmission was confirmed it is likely that 6 weeks is sufficient to prevent carry over. No transmission of virus was observed when tomato seedlings were grown in soil and fine roots sampled at crop pull-out, and sampled again six weeks later. Though the LAMP assay continued to detect PepMV throughout the composting process, subsequent sap inoculation using sampled compost failed to produce infection in tomato seedlings. Presumably, though virus particles or fragments remained in the compost sampled for the LAMP assay to detect, the PepMV did not remain viable for long under composting conditions.
The project used a new method to detect PepMV in water. PepMV was detected in a reservoir and pre-disinfection treatment, but not after disinfection treatment (pasteurisation). PepMV was also detected in applied and drainage water from an NFT site, where no disinfection treatment was in place.
Two mild strains of PepMV have been developed for protecting tomato against infection by severe strains of the same genotype(s). A mild strain of a CH2 isolate is marketed as PMV-01 and has been used in Belgium since 2011 and the Netherlands since 2012. A second mild strain product V10, comprising a mixture of a mild strain of a CH2 genotype and a mild strain of an EU genotype, has been developed. Experimental work showed that V10 protected against EU and CH2 genotypes of PepMV. V10 was reported to have been widely used in commercial crops in the Netherlands since 2014 with good results. The mild strain PMV-01 has been approved for use in the UK.
An AHDB Horticulture Factsheet 25/16 'Pepino mosaic virus of tomato - new results on strains, symptoms and persistence' provides new results on strains present in UK crops, PepMV symptoms, survival of the virus in roots and composted tomato waste, potential locations of contamination after an outbreak and occurrence of the virus in water.
Summary points to note included:
- Biosecurity efforts should be maintained even when PepMV is already present, as introduction of additional strains appears linked to more severe symptom expression.
- Glasshouse end-of-year clean-up and disinfection procedures appear to be successful but the virus may survive in difficult to treat areas, especially electrical equipment, heating pipe supports and trolley wheels.
- The risk of carry-over in roots and soil from one crop to the next appears to be very small where there is at least a six-week gap between successive plantings in soil.
- Aerobic composting to a high temperature is an effective way to eliminate PepMV from crop waste, provided sufficiently high temperatures are reached for a long enough period of time.
- PepMV was detected in reservoir water on one site. Previous work has shown that PepMV can spread between plants in contaminated water and cause disease via root infection. Infested irrigation water could potentially result in widespread infection on a site; it could possibly reintroduce the virus after clean-up. Assess the risk of crop debris, glasshouse condensation water or other potentially infested material, contaminating water sources and, where possible, take measures to reduce the risk. Check that water disinfection treatments are operating effectively.
There is a useful Canadian Factsheet on PepMV management.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus
Although AHDB have not commissioned any specific research work on this virus there has been control information prepared in Factsheet 18/11 'Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV)'. The infection and spread of CGMMV is very similar to PepMV the clean-up procedures and precautions are effectively the same.
Summary clean-up points from the Factsheet are:
- The important thing to remember with CGMMV is that all parts of the plant carry the virus and can thus carry it over to the following year. All parts of the plant need to be removed from the growing house. If crops are grown in soil you should aim to remove as much of the root system as possible and all the crop debris and then steam sterilise to soil. Where crops are grown in isolated media - all crop debris should be removed from the growing house and disposed of off-site. The virus can remain active for more than a year in plant debris - so do not leave it on site. It is important to remove the crop debris when it is wilting rather than when it is dead because dead leaves are very brittle and break into hundreds of pieces that will be impossible to clear up. Thorough cleaning is important, aim to remove every trace of plant material - this should include, for example, the removal of tendrils from crop wires etc.
- Growing media should also be removed and disposed of off-site. The best policy is NOT to reuse growing media that is infected with CGMMV. But if growing media is to be re-used it must be thoroughly steam disinfested before re-use and once treated it should be stored somewhere it cannot be re-contaminated. It is best to carry out any treatment off-site or after all clean up activity is finished.
- Once all the crop debris is removed the structure can be disinfected. The important point to note with disinfectants is that they work very well on clean surfaces - but less well on dirty surfaces - clean the structure before you disinfect it rather than using the disinfectant to clean it. Washing down with a high pressure washer using soapy water will clean the structure - then use a suitable disinfectant on the cleaned surface. There have been no comparative tests carried out of these materials against CGMMV but you should see Factsheet 20/03 which lists their effect on a similar virus of tomato.
Tomato spotted wilt virus
There were several outbreaks of TSWV in peppers in 2008 and 2009 with subsequent funding of PC 289 'Sweet pepper: securing knowledge on TSWV and a potyvirus in an infected crop to increase understanding of a potential threat to UK growers'. TSWV is vectored by western flower thrips (WFT) and the project action points for growers were:
- Be aware that insecticidal control of leaf hopper can disrupt biological control of WFT, thus increasing risk of TSWV transmission and infection.
- If WFT occurs in sweet pepper, examine plants carefully for symptoms of TSWV.
- Prompt removal of TSWV-affected plants from a glasshouse, combined with effective control of WFT through biological control, are the two principal actions required in order to bring an outbreak of TSWV under control.
There was also an advisory Factsheet 23/10 'Tomato spotted wilt virus in protected edible crops' produced.

A strange Day In The Life for Interpol that blurs reality with fiction and psychedelia as they have an actual press conference in Mexico City — check the recording of the livestream — where a character played by actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach brings chaos to the table.
Paul Banks, Interpol:: "I like to describe the video for 'The Rover' as a prequel. It's the origin story of the character described in the song, the birth of a cult leader. When we meet him he is partly unhinged. He's a man on the verge, an artist subjected to great pressures, and beset with existential frustrations. A distracted hipster who enjoys psychedelics, let's say.
The events that take place in Mexico City, be it a bump on the head, a visit to a shaman, or the influence of his rescuers (the street gang known as 'Los Locos') trigger the birth – the eruption – of this new figure, 'The Rover.' His rescuers become his first followers.
In the end of the video he exacts his 'revenge' on Interpol with a mischievous act of disruption during the press conference. He grabs me by the head – to save me? Forgive me? Or simply as a gesture of his new independence – the butterfly becoming."
Various warping effects — perhaps of the slit-scan variety? — keep things off-kilter in this return for Feist.

We finally approached the access point where passengers exit the boat, and the boat is lifted out of the water and over a cement barricade. As we got there, we found out that it had just been struck by lightning and we couldn't go any further. It was incredible."

Joseph Alsop
Joseph Alsop, , in full Joseph Wright Alsop, (born Oct. 11, 1910, Avon, Conn., U.S.—died Aug. 28, 1989, Washington, D.C.), American journalist and longtime syndicated columnist known for straightforward but opinionated political reporting.
After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1932), Alsop was a staff writer for the New York Herald Tribune until 1937, when he began collaborating with Robert Kintner on the column "The Capital Parade" for the North American Newspaper Alliance. He abandoned the column to join the U.S. Navy (1940), and during World War II he served with the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) as an aide to General Claire L. Chennault and was briefly held prisoner by the Japanese in Hong Kong (1942).
Alsop and his brother Stewart (1914–74), both self-styled New Deal liberals and distant cousins of Franklin D. Roosevelt, collaborated (1946–58) on the nationally syndicated column "Matter of Fact," one of the longest-running columns of its kind, appearing in 300 newspapers thrice weekly. From 1958 to 1974 he was the sole author of the column and adopted a more conservative stance, especially on foreign affairs. Alsop was the coauthor of such books as The 168 Days (1938), Men Around the President (1939), American White Paper: The Story of American Diplomacy and the Second World War (1940), The Reporter's Trade (1958), and FDR, 1882-1945: A Centenary Remembrance (1982).

Father remanded on larceny charge
Suspected serial thief Anthony Brown, 24, of Lot 138 Waterloo Street, South Cummingsburg, Georgetown, was remanded to prison after reportedly stealing a motorcycle.Brown appeared at the Wales Magistrate's Court late last week, and the charge was read to him by Magistrate Clive Nurse. It is alleged that on October 14, 2015, at Schoonord, West Bank Demerara, he stole the motorcycle, valued $420,000, property of Linden Agard.Brown, who pleaded not guilty to the offence, explained that it was the first time he has been charged for such a crime. This assertion was, however, rejected by the prosecution. The Court was informed that based on information, the defendant, a father of one, was arrested for a similar offence. He is also wanted by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for related matters.On this basis, bail was denied and Brown will remain incarcerated until his trial, which is scheduled to commence on July 29.

FIFA latest: Presidency candidate excluded from election after failing integrity test
1 FIFA latest: Presidency candidate excluded from election after failing integrity test The election for FIFA presidency has been reduced to six candidates after it was revealed one of the runners was excluded from the vote after failing integrity checks.FIFA's electoral committee has announced that Liberian FA chief Musa Bility has not passed the test and is not eligible to stand, but is not making the reasons for his exclusion public.Asian Football Confederation president Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has passed the checks despite claims from human rights groups he was involved in a crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in his home country Bahrain.The other candidates cleared are Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan, former FIFA official Jerome Champagne from France, UEFA's general secretary Gianni Infantino from Switzerland, and Tokyo Sexwale, the former anti-apartheid activist from South Africa.The electoral committee will not carry out integrity checks on Michel Platini, the UEFA president who is currently suspended for 90 days pending an ethics committee hearing into a £1.3million payment he received from FIFA in 2011, until the disciplinary process is complete.The election of the successor to Sepp Blatter, who is also under a 90-day suspension, takes place on February 26.FIFA said in a statement: "The integrity check included a review of corporate records, litigation cases, bankruptcy proceedings, potential regulatory actions taken against the candidate and a review of media reports concerning potential red flags (fraudulent behaviour, match manipulation, human rights violations, etc.)."Each candidate was then asked to comment on the content of the detailed report produced."The ad-hoc electoral committee did not admit the candidature of Musa Hassan Bility, in view of the content of the integrity check report relating to him. For reasons of protection of personality rights, the committee – while it has explained its considerations in detail to Musa Hassan Bility – will not comment publicly on the specifics of its decision."The decision can be appealed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

It's a product every man should try, just to see how good it is. 1.Maverick's Matte ClayDisregarding the possibility of being labelled biased, the number one product we settled on was our own Mavericks Matte Wax. How can we be so shamelessly brazen? Well here is our argument…. Mavericks Matte Wax is a very forgiving product. Some products you need toknow exactly what you're doing with them to achieve the results you want, get the process wrong and you'll never get the results. With Mavericks Matte Wax it's just not the case, you can work and work at it and it will not dry up too quickly on you, or, lose its hold if you work it too much.Secondly it works well on either damp or dry hair and it won't affect the results too much either. It works great with most hair types for textured, high, slicked, or natural styles. Another feather on its hat is, it is actually the best value out of all top 5 products.However, like everything else, it just had to be a fantastic product in the first place otherwise Mavericks would never have put their name on it…..

BRICS leaders' informal meeting on the margins of the G20
The BRICS leaders' summit in Hangzhou, China on Sunday 4 September 2016. From left, Brazilian President Michel Temer, Indian President Narender Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African President Jacob Zuma. (Image: The Presidency)Global political, security, economic and governance issues was the focus of discussions between leaders of the BRICS grouping of major emerging markets – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – held on the margins of the Group of 20 Summit in Chinese city of Hangzhou on 4 September 2016.To further strengthen the partnership, the BRICS leaders reaffirmed that cooperation would be based on principles of openness, solidarity, equality, mutual understanding, inclusiveness and mutually beneficial cooperation between them.Access to international law courts would improve the state of developing economies and the citizenry. Corruption, illicit cross-border financial-flows, and ill-gotten wealth derived from illegal activities are challenges that can best be tackled through enhanced cooperation between G20 countries.Wealth looted from developing economies, often invested through financial institutions in developed economies, robs developing economies of funding institutional and infrastructure development.Macroeconomic policy coordination between G20 member countries would ensure the benefits of any economic recovery would be sustainable and more equitably shared. Focused national growth strategies would only achieve strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth if G20 members worked together.The G20 Blueprint on Innovative Growth could be a driver for mid and long term growth and sustainable development. Its recognition of the importance of innovation in growth was welcomed.New trade protectionist policies being implemented across the globe was a concern to the BRICS leadership. Strengthening the role and negotiation functions of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) would allow the regulatory body to facilitate market inter-linkages and an inclusive, rules-based and open world economy.BRICS leaders stressed the importance of the WTO adherence to a rule-based, open, transparent, non-discriminatory and inclusive global trading system. However they believe the WTO needs to put development at the centre of its policies.Implementation of the outcomes reached by trade ministries in Bali and Nairobi would go a long way to creating a more equitable global economy. The BRICS governments have called for early ratification and enforcement of the Trade Facilitation Agreement.International Monetary Fund (IMF) allocation quotas did not reflect present-day global economic realities. BRICS leaders are calling on the IMF to review the way resources are distributed, and increase their funding reserves. Direction from G20 members could ensure a fairer reflection of emerging and developing economies.Completion of the 15th General Review of Quotas – including a new quota formula – by the 2017 annual meeting would create a more effective and efficient global economic architecture, this would create the environment for resilient growth.BRICS leaders also congratulated India for the speed of its implementation and the expansion of the BRICS cooperation agenda. As chair of the grouping, India will host the upcoming 8th BRICS summit in Goa between 15-16 October.Progress in the implementation of the Strategy for BRICS Economic Partnership underscored the importance of the 2020 BRICS Roadmap on Trade, Economic and Investment Cooperation. This has strengthened trade, business and tourism ties between BRICS nations.India has been at the forefront of strengthening of these ties through the ongoing series of people-to-people exchanges across the provinces and cities of India.The New Development Bank's approval of its first set of loans also drew praise from the assembled leaders. The first loans as well as the successful issuance of the Bank's first funded programmes in the renewable and green energy sectors. Leaders applauded the Bank's potential as a source for bridging finance for infrastructure projects.Universal access to energy and energy security are critical to shared prosperity and the future of the planet. They acknowledged the importance of affordable, clean and renewable energy to sustainable development.The success of the G20 Hangzhou Summit earned the Chinese government plaudits from the BRICS leadership. They applauded the emphasis placed on a development agenda and encouraged all G20 members to strengthen macroeconomic cooperation, promote innovation, robust and sustainable trade and investment growth.BRICS governments reaffirmed their commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. BRICS leaders expect that the agenda in China would encourage a new vison of inclusive growth from G20 governments. In this regard, they welcomed the G20 Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the G20 Initiative on Supporting Industrialisation in Africa and Least Developed Countries.Cooperation and ongoing dialogue with other emerging market economies would be strengthened. Fostering innovation between interconnected, inclusive and invigorated usher in a new era of global growth and sustainable development.International cooperation would blunt the threat of international terrorism and the risk of destabilization these heinous acts represent. BRICS leaders united to condemn terrorist violence that continue to disrupt global peace and security and undermine social and economic confidence.In expressing sympathy and support to innocent victims, they reiterated their commitment to fight terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. There can be no justification for terror or violence whether based on ideology, religion, politics, race or ethnic identity. They emphasised that a united effort guided by international law, with the United Nations playing a central role, was needed to combat terrorism.
Big Six likely becoming the Big Four in 2017
Share Facebook Twitter Google + LinkedIn Pinterest My favorite law professor, the late Morgan Shipman, used to love to proclaim that "pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered" when lecturing about the legal problems created by greed. As a means of policing the swine (actually businesses), the U.S. created federal anti-trust laws in 1890, with the passage of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The government sought to promote fair competition for the benefit of consumers and preserve innovation and new product development. In 1914, the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act were added to anti-trust regulations.This year, three huge mergers will likely meet with federal approval and change the landscape of agriculture in this country and worldwide. Currently, the "Big Six" control the seed and crop protection chemicals industry: BASF, Bayer, Dow, DuPont, Monsanto, and Syngenta. DuPont and Dow are proposing a merger of equals, commonly referred to as DuDow, and plan to separate the agriculture, materials science and specialty products businesses into three independent and specialized corporations. ChemChina, which is owned by the Chinese government, seeks approval to purchase Syngenta for $43 billion. Bayer plans to buy Monsanto for $66 billion. Once the dust settles, the "Big Six" will become the "Big Four." And China, the country, will be one of the "Big Four." Talk about your place at the table. Chopsticks, anyone?Not only do these companies have to satisfy U.S. regulators, but also the European Union, China and some 30 other countries. Most experts believe all three mergers will be approved and completed this year, after some hoops are jumped through.The European Union required DuPont to sell a large portion of its crop protection businesses to FMC for $1.6 billion. This makes FMC the fifth largest player in the industry.The European Union demanded ChemChina sell a trio of crop protection products to AMVAC, including paraquat. South Africa stipulated Bayer sell Liberty herbicide and LibertyLink branded seeds businesses for $25 billion. BASF is rumored to be a possible purchaser.Obviously, the details of just one of these transactions could be discussed for days. While farmers need not analyze the minutia of the proposed unions, it is important to consider what impact these mergers might have on their farms. Net farm income for 2017, when adjusted for inflation, is likely to fall to a 15-year low. Anything that puts added strain on finances is a problem. Additional concentration in an industry rarely leads to savings. Some producers and farm groups fear that higher prices are likely.ChemChina's purchase of Syngenta creates a new reality for China. This nation, who currently imports a significant amount of food, will suddenly own GMO technology that could enable them to revolutionize and modernize their agriculture quickly. The country that turned away corn imports because of alleged possession of unapproved GMO traits owned by Syngenta is now anxious to purchase that same company. Obviously, ChemChina will have to deal with the class action litigation Syngenta is fighting as a part of the purchase of the company.Politics may make for strange bedfellows, but the union of Bayer and Monsanto is truly noteworthy, once the past is dug up. Monsanto is almost universally despised, and there have been many theories offered to explain this. Obviously, anti-GMO activists believe Monsanto is the devil because of their invention of RoundUp, never mind that this product dramatically changed farming practices in a good way. Life just isn't that black and white, and Monsanto has been unfairly tainted due to ignorance and simple thinking. Bayer, on the other hand, is universally linked with aspirin. It is a German company that was founded by Friedrich Bayer and Johann Friedrich Weskott in 1863. From 1898 to 1910, Bayer manufactured and sold "heroin" as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine. Bayer was owned by IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company from 1925 to 1952, which is when their past gets shady. During World War II, IG Farben used slave labor in factories they built adjacent to German concentration camps, notably Auschwitz. IG Farben held a large investment in Degesch, which produced Zyklon B, used to gas and kill prisoners during the Holocaust. After World War II, the Allies broke up Bayer and IG Farben. The union of Monsanto and Bayer will provide conspiracy theorists something new to conjure about.The U.S. anti-trust review of these mergers focuses on competition in pricing and in research. While concentration of an industry still matters, it alone is no longer considered to be a sufficient indicator of market power. Other factors, such as the ease of rival entry and the ease with which buyers can switch their purchases among sellers, now matter as well.Most of the experts seem to believe all three of these mergers will be completed in 2017. Some older brands will be sold, as a condition of the transactions being approved. New owners often means new emphasis, which is a good thing.I've Googled enough about this topic to realize that I do not know enough to have an opinion about any of the three proposed corporate unions. Here's hoping our federal government holds all of these companies to the existing anti-trust regulations. If not, pigs will get fat, and hogs slaughtered, unless they decide to merge.

Having declined to the level witnessed back in 2014, oil production in Western Europe is on the verge of expanding by 19% in 2020 and hitting the 3.5 million bpd mark by 2025, particularly driven by the ramp-up on Johan Sverdrup and start-up of the Johan Castberg field in Norway. This article assesses the Western European E&P status and outlook, illustrated by the three key drivers: oil production, breakeven prices and capital spending.
Figure 1 depicts oil and condensate production from the Western Europe region, split by country, from 2010 to 2025. Historically, oil production has been declining due to the natural decline on mature fields, hitting a 2.6 million bpd mark in 2014. While oil volumes managed to rebound to 2.8 million bpd between 2015-2016 thanks to the ramp-up on several important developments in both UK (Golden Eagle, Kinnoull and Franklin & Franklin West) and Norway (Goliat, Gudrun and Edvard Grieg), last year oil output in Western Europe again decreased to the level witnessed back in 2014. At the same time, Norway and the United Kingdom contributed 93% of the region's oil output with Denmark, Netherlands and others accounting for just about 180,000 bpd. Looking forward, Western Europe's oil production is expected to grow by an impressive 19% in 2020 and exhibit a CAGR of 2.4% in 2021-2025. As such, oil volumes are anticipated to hit 3.5 million bpd in 2025, adding nearly one million barrels per day over the next five years. Such increase in production this year is particularly driven by the ramp-up of the first phase of a giant Johan Sverdrup field in Norway, which began producing in October 2019. Holding over 2 billion barrels in oil reserves, the field is expected to add 360,000 bpd of oil in 2020. We will also see oil growth from several fields in the UK, namely Claire Ridge and Mariner, which cumulatively are estimated to account for 70,000 bpd of additional oil. In the medium term, we anticipate the start-up of the already sanctioned Johan Sverdrup Phase II and Johan Castberg, which together will increase oil production by 300,000 bpd in 2023. While there are no discoveries of similar size expected to be put on stream before 2025, there are many mid-sized fields that are waiting in the pipeline to be developed in both the UK and Norway. In combination with the fields mentioned, these will be enough to offset declining output on mature fields and help reach oil production of 3.5 million bpd by 2025.
Figure 2 depicts estimated economically recoverable resources for the top five non-producing oil fields in Norway and the United Kingdom. Breakeven oil prices as of the sanctioning date for each field are also displayed on the chart. In Norway, the field holding the largest resources of over 600 million bbl is the second phase of Johan Sverdrup, sanctioned in May 2019 and forecasted to come online in 2022. Along with Johan Castberg, it is also the field with the lowest breakeven price, around $25 per bbl. The third phase of the giant field is awaiting approval, which is expected to be reached by 2026, and has a breakeven price around $38 per bbl. In the United Kingdom, three of the five largest discoveries, Halifax, Lincoln and Lancaster, are operated by Hurricane Energy and located in the West of Shetland region of the UK Continental Shelf. The Halifax field, discovered in early 2017, has estimated recoverable resources of around 800 million bbl with sanctioningexpected by 2027. Lincoln (full field development) is expected to be sanctioned by 2022 and has a breakeven of $32 per bbl; the tie-back of a Lincoln well to the Aoka Mizu FPSO is planned already this year. Similarly, Equinor is expected to reach the final investment decision on the Rosebank discovery, holding an estimated 300 million bbl of oil resources, by mid-2022.
Figure 3 shows capital spending on oil fields in Western Europe from 2010 to 2025. Investments have fallen from the peak of $35.7 billion in 2014 to just $16.8 billion in 2017, as a result of years of reduced activity triggered by the oil price collapse. Since 2018, we have seen a gradual recovery driven by increased sanctioning activity in a higher oil price environment. Johan Sverdrup Phase II and Johan Castberg fields in Norway have been the main sources of capital influx, amounting to nearly $3 billion in both 2018 and 2019. In the medium-term, capital expenditures are expected to continue to increase driven by higher spending on unsanctioned discoveries. Rosebank/Lochnagar, Lincoln, Lancaster and Clair South fields in the UK and Wisting Central & Hanssen, Krafla/Askja, and Liatarnet in Norway will see the largest spending contributions. Overall, oil field capital investments are currently forecasted to reach $18.4 billion in 2020 and grow to over $20 billion by 2025.
Western Europe's oil supply, with Norway and the United Kingdom as key contributors, is set for a renaissance this year and a growing trajectory going forward. The flat development over the last few years is expected to be reversed thanks largely to Norway's Johan Sverdrup and Johan Castberg fields. Unsanctioned discoveries, both in the UK and Norway, with favorable breakeven prices and sizeable resource potential, will further contribute to investments and support production growth in the region going forward.
