So, I've been looking at the budget 6" jointers by Ridgid and Grizzly, in the sub $600 range. Grizzly's new G0813/814 jointers aren't in stock yet, and the shipping costs would make it more expensive. I could have the Ridgid shipped to my local store for free, making it a bit cheaper.
Price aside, which would be the better jointer? Are there other brands in that price range I should consider?
I don't have the space or the money for a larger 8" jointer.

Leadership of the Parties – Tories
Both the Government and the Opposition need to get their leadership issues sorted before September when the aftermath of the Referendum Campaign will need to be addressed.
The first ballot of the Conservative Members of Parliament is tomorrow and it will reduce the number of declared contendors from 5 to 4. One of the best indicators as to the state of play are the betting odds. These are todays's odds at William Hill:-
William Hill – Tory Leadership Race Today & Yesterday
|Teresa May
|3/10 (4/9)
|Andrea Leadsom
|11/4 (2/1)
|Michael Gove
|11/1 (14/1)
|Stephen Crabb
|33/1 (33/1)
|Liam Fox
|66/1 (50/1)
Another indicator of the state of play is the number of MP's who have declared which candidate they are supporting. Two bloggers publish figures – Guido Fawkes and Conservative Home. Here are their latest estimates:-
|Guido Fawkes
|Cons- Home
|Teresa May
|Stephen Crabb
|Michael Gove
|Andrea Leadson
|Liam Fox
Should a Vote Leave candidate be on the ballot of Party Members?
Paul Goodman of the Conservative Home blog argues the case: "May believes that Britain needs a choice – not a coronation. We agree. Now let's have a Brexiteer in the final." He cites figures about Vote Leave's success.
What importance is to be given to the Referendum outcome is ultimately a matter for Parliament. The UK is not Switzerland. This was an advisory referendum not one which has direct legal effect and there is a strong case for saying that neither the European Commission nor many of our EU Partners have understood this.
Further, the issue of what is to be done in relation to the Referendum is certainly not the only matter a future Prime Minister will have to consider. In essence, there is a strong case for saying that the choice of Prime Minister must be on the basis of who is best qualified to deal with all matters, not just those arising from the Referendum.
What Mr Goodman fails to discuss is the extent to which Poison Dwarf Gove and Clown Boris mounted a dirty, dishonest and racist Brexit campaign on the instigation of the Dark Lord Nigel Farage – a campaign no better than that deployed at Smethwick in the 1964 General Election. Clown Boris was torpedoed by the Poison Dwarf and is not now a candidate. But the Poison Dwarf is.
The BBC has this story: "Tory leadership: Gove and Leadsom say PM should be Brexit backer". There was a majority popular vote for Brexit. But it was not the policy of the government.
The argument that it is necessary for one of the two ultimate candidates to be a Vote Leave advocate is not impressive. Whichever leader is ultimately elected will, of course, have to take account of the referendum outcome as will Parliament as a whole. The Guardian has this: Vote that could make Andrea Leadsom a Tory outlier – like Corbyn which makes the case for ensuring that a party leader reflects the views of the majority of the party's MPs.
Parliament as a Whole is Involved
In a previous post I expressed the view that the referendum outcome is a matter for Parliament as a whole: see Parliament must approve Brexit.
Yesterday, Mischcon de Reya issued this press release: Article 50 process on Brexit faces legal challenge to ensure parliamentary involvement. I can do no better than to reproduce what the partner with conduct of the matter says in the press release:-
"We must ensure that the Government follows the correct process to have legal certainty and protect the UK Constitution and the sovereignty of Parliament in these unprecedented circumstances. The result of the Referendum is not in doubt, but we need a process that follows UK law to enact it. The outcome of the Referendum itself is not legally binding and for the current or future Prime Minister to invoke Article 50 without the approval of Parliament is unlawful."
That is why it is incumbent on both the Conservative Party and the Labour Party to resolve their leadership issues as quickly as possible. There can hardly be a proper debate until both HM Government and HM Opposition have got their respective acts together.
Conservative Leadership Race
The Rt Hon Teresa May MP (3/10)
The Home Secretary set out her position on Sunday in this BBC interview: Tory leadership: Theresa May says voters want more than 'Brexit PM'
You Gov has this: Theresa May more popular than Gove even among Leave voters and the Defence Secretary is supporting her in the Mail: "I'm backing Theresa to deliver Brexit: Defence Secretary MICHAEL FALLON explains why he believes the Home Secretary is the best choice to become Prime Minister"
Andrea Leadson MP (11/4)
Ms Leadson was interviewed on The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning (starting at 26 mins). Nothing was all that controversial. But she was not always a Brexiteer – see this in the Daily Mail: Hypocrite! Tory leadership hopeful and Vote Leave campaigner Andrea Leadsom previously said 'Brexit would be a disaster'
Today, the Times has this (behind a paywall): Ukip accused of plotting to install Leadsom as PM
Certainly, this Poster will not help. She seems to have some supporters she might not exactly welcome.
Ms Leadson is undoubtedly clever and might make a very good junior minister in the Treasury or the Cabinet Office. But she does not yet have the experience to be a Prime Minister.
The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP (11/1)
The Poison Dwarf, Michael Gove was also on The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning (starting at 41 mins). He was thoroughly unimpressive. It will not perhaps help that Boris Johnson is now muttering from the political grave: "Here's what Boris has to say about Gove's 'betrayal'"
The Poison Dwarf in Judicial Drag. Perhaps the first issue is whether Poison Dwarf Gove should be on the ballot at all. Has he shown the integrity and ability required of a holder of the high office of HM Prime Minister?
Gove is at present HM Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, in which capacity he is occasionally to be seen poncing about in judicial robes. It is arguable that in reality he has been the Secretary of State for Injustice. But even someone as incompetent as Gove has been ought to be aware of the possible consequences of incitement to hatred on grounds of race or ethnicity. After all, he runs the prisons where some of those convicted of such hate crimes are detained.
Yet he participated in a campaign which incited hatred of immigrants and there have already been some shocking incidents of hatred after the vote.
Then, of course, there is the question of how Lord Chancellor Gove has sought to deal with his erstwhile campaign colleague Clown Boris. As some may recall, Jim Hacker, the fictional Prime Minister in the BBC's 'Yes, Minister' series, described the Daily Mail as "the newspaper read by the wives of the people who run the country".
Well the Mail on Sunday had a full set of stories on the leadership campaign for the "wives of the people who run the country" including this gem: "Boris was blown up by a political psychopath but it was Mrs Gove who detonated the bomb': RACHEL JOHNSON'S lacerating verdict on her brother's betrayal". Nestled within the text and pictures there is a rather telling allegation:-
"Michael Gove is the man who has said many times that he is prepared to put his principles before his friends, that he will sacrifice anything and anyone on the high altar of his ideology. But he must see, after what he has done, that he is now cast in the public mind not as a heroic man of conviction, but as a sort of Westminster suicide bomber, whose deadly belt of explosives has been detonated not by his own hand, but by his own wife."
One gets the impression that more and more people have come to the conclusion that Poison Dwarf Gove (political psychopath or not) is as unfit for the office of Prime Minister as he has been found lacking in other roles.
The Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox MP (66/1)
Dr Liam Fox was interviewed by Andrew Neill on The Sunday Politics (starting at 8.50 mins). He was the only Brexiteer among the contenders who came across as entirely sensible, recognising that a Prime Minister has many more responsibilities than just dealing with the outcome of the Referendum.
Given the odds, it will be interesting to see how Dr Fox and his supporters move as the ballots take place. Hopefully they will support Teresa May.
The Rt Hon Steven Crabb MP (33/1)
Stephen Crabb and his running mate were reviewed in the Mail on Sunday: "The unlikely lads: Tory leadership hopeful Stephen Crabb admits he and running mate Sajid Javid are young, but insists he has more experience than Thatcher did".
Today he is in the Daily Mail: "The Tories could SPLIT if they don't get past the 'Leave' and 'Remain' labels warns Stephen Crabb as he fights to avoid getting squeezed out of the race for No 10".
Whatever the outcome of the ballots, Messrs Crabb and Javid are an impressive pair – and quite right in the assertion that it is high time for the Conservatives to get over the "Leave" and "Remain" division.
We shall see tomorrow how the candidate fare on the first ballot.
Labour's Leadership Issues
It remains to be seen who the Labour Leadership crisis will be resolved. There is this in the Guardian: Trade unions can 'broker a peace' for Labour, says Len McCluskey
It doesn't sound too promising.

TOFU is an architecture and interior design unit, which is based in Osaka, Japan. We are proposing the design of housings, shops, gardens,sake breweries,renovation in various locations.
This BBQ restaurant is in Osaka. We made the interior used with plenty of real wood. because the owner requested the Japanese calm atmosphere. After considering the cost and workability, we picked up a cedar and bamboo for materials. Bamboo and cedar materials have been used in Japan since ancient times, has its peculiar characteristics and texture.So by Using a lot bamboo to the material for the wall and blind, giving the impression of light and airy. 40 mm diameter bamboos are connected to a fixed one by one bolt and a stainless steel tube, the blindfold has set up floating in the air in order to visualize the lightness of bamboo.Bare bulb Light hanging on each table is tiny light, but reflected the light of a naked light bulb in a unique glossy texture of bamboo to produce a soft glow throughout the room. Light reflected the surface of the bamboo change with the movement of people. Low lighting makes interior to be the magical atmosphere.Also giving a glossy paint on the wall of cedar panels, expecting the same effect as the bamboo. Texture of cedar is a mixture of black and white, because cedar panels are roasted using the burner. Grilled cedar also are beautiful distinctive texture for Japanese space.

I've been reading some excerpts from a website called "Headed Somewhere" and here are a few tips you might want to incorporate into your day.
They are simple and entirely doable….right now even on this dreary day while an ice storm has sidelined most of north Mississippi.
1. Make your bed.
The book The Happiness Project, explains that this three minute task is one of the simplest habits you can adopt to positively impact your happiness. ('Scuse me while I go make my bed.)
2. Bring every room back to "ready."
Here's a trick from Marilyn Paul's clever book, It's Hard to Make a Difference When You Can't Find Your Keys. It's a known fact: Clutter causes stress; order creates a haven from it. This mood-boosting routine is simple: Take about three minutes to bring each room back to "ready" before you depart it. (Unless you have a toddler, or a partner who likes to simulate earthquakes, three minutes should be sufficient.)
3. Start a one-line-a-day gratitude journal.
Before bed, simply jot down one happy memory from that day. (If you have kids, you can ask them, "What was the best part of today?") Reflection is an important part of happiness, and pausing to reflect on a positive event from each day cultivates gratitude. (An added bonus: Later, when your memory is defunct, you will already have all of your meaningful adventures recorded!) If you have trouble getting started with journaling, consider buying a book to guide you. Simple Abundance, by Sarah Ban Breathnach, is a great one.
4. If you can't get out of it, get into it.
This tip comes from The Happiness Project. I love the message: The dishes are not going to clean themselves, so you will do it, and you will like it! (Unless, of course, you can outsource this job, in which case I say: Nice work!) Otherwise, get into doing the dishes. Feel the soothing warm water on your hands. Enjoy the tickle of the tiny bubbles. Crank your favorite album at an unusually loud volume, do a couple fist-pumps while shouting "Can I get a hell yeah for the dishes? Hell! Yeah!" and pretend you love it.

TUR061 is a development of 54 villas, in the beautiful rural setting of Zekeriakoy, northern Istanbul. The villas are just 1 kilometer from the Belgrade forest, which is popular with Istanbul residents, who gather here at weekends to enjoy family life and picnics, or partake in running, hiking or biking, in unspoilt surroundings.
Although it is a different world, Zekeriakoy is surprisingly just 30 minutes' drive from Taksim, and the metro is only 10 minutes away, whilst you can reach the shores of the Bosporus in less than 5 minutes!
The villas here all have their own private gardens and terraces. The 2 bedroom properties have 2 bathrooms, whilst the 3 bedrooms have 2 bathrooms + 1 WC, and there is additional attic storage.
There is an onsite communal swimming pool, children's playground and keep fit facilities, together with allocated car parking and 24/7 security.

In this BSc thesis the classical Active Shape Model (ASM) introduced by (C. J Taylor Oct 2001) is revisited through scale-independently designed filters within the scale-space framework. The notion of shape adaptable edge detection introduced by (Jacob and Unser 2004) is also applied through the use of a scale-independent steerable wedge detector filter, which can be seen as a more generalized form of the Canny edge detector filter. And finally an edge detection method is presented that makes extensive use of wedge detector filters and considerations from scale-space theory.

Dear Escapers,
As the EFT community continues to grow, especially in our smaller regions, it becomes more important for our lovely emissaries to do things above and beyond!
As a way to help the newcomers who are struggling to find help, our Czech & Slovakia emissary @HajDEO has done just that. With the cration of the Tarkovcsr website, HajDEO has created a centralized hub for the community he represents to access all the information they need to start their adventure in EFT.
As we progress, I look forward to seeing the growth of this website, along with any other projects along these lines. Let us all work together to help grow the communities we represent in a positive and welcoming manner!

In this show, Gary Caton joins me to talk about his new book on Mercury called Hermetica Triptycha. There are so many ideas within this book that every Astrologer needs to know in my opinion, so it was a great honor to talk with him and pick his brain about what I have learned since reading this essential mercurial tome. Enjoy.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Steve and I would like to (as we do every year) take this chance to wish all of our clients, contacts, collaborators (including co-conspirators!) and readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
2014 has been very different for us and I'd say it has been the most challenging year ever, for all the right reasons. One highlight was the 'Island Innovators' unconference in April, which gave me the opportunity to mix with some remarkable people from all over the world – and has served as our inspiration ever since, but we've also been fortunate to work on some really interesting projects for our clients as well.
As some of you may have noticed, we've been very busy over recent months – and those of you who are booking work into our diary for 2015 have discovered that there's a bit of a wait for dates at the moment; this is something we're actively working on, both in terms of the availability of skilled resources and the way we manage our diary. We will generally do everything we can to accommodate you– but we are encouraging clients to get in touch and make their requirements known to us as early as they can, to help us meet expectations.
2015 will see big changes for us as we move into the next stage of our journey, which we hope will continue to be as exciting as it has been since that fateful day in 2006 when Mattched IT Ltd was officially formed.
Christmas & Holiday Closing
We will be closing for the holidays on December 19th 2014, re-opening on January 19th 2015.
While we are closed, essential support will be provided to existing clients as normal via http://support.mattchedit.com, or email@example.com. New enquiries and other correspondence will be handled as quickly as possibly upon our return.
Comments (1)
Merry Christmas Matt! A month off! You lucky, lucky man. :)

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
After updating to the 2.2.19-7.0.8 update, after running a while, my load (as reported by w) goes to 1.0 and stays there even when there isn't
anything going on. The average load of the system is usually 0.0x. I noted behavior like this with the original kernel package that came with
RHL 7.0 when mounting .iso files with the loopback interface... but that bug was fixed in the previous kernel update package. I'm not sure if the
bug in this kernel is related to mounting .iso image files or not. I don't know if it is related to having a Cyrix MII processor or what. Attached is
my dmesg report for a complete list of hardware.

maintain compatibility.
IN OTHER NEWS... my system load has been slowly growing over the past 4 days and
now says:
8:56am up 4 days, 13:38, 5 users, load average: 5.02, 5.01, 4.99
Not bad for a system that is totally responsive with plenty of free memory anda
CPU that is 98% idle. Obviously it is a just a cosmetic miscalculation... BUT
some applications look at the load and alter their behaviour as a result of it.
By default I think sendmail starts quequeing email at a load of 7 (or whatever
RedHat's default setting for that value is)... so this bug has the potential to
disrupt anything that takes notice of the system load.
Could you run "ps -waux" as root, and see which processes are in "D" state (the
STAT column)?
root 23391 0.0 2.6 3900 2512 ? D Aug01
0:06 /usr/bin/analog /usr/local/analog/www.montanalinux.org-analog.cfg
To answer your question, I have 4 copies of the above listed processe that are
currently in the listed with a status of "D"... which I learned (from the ps
man page) means "uninterruptable sleep usually IO". I have a daily cron job
that runs a script where analog parses all of my apache virtual host web server
logs. Only one seems to be getting stuck. I'll have to look at it.
So, is my high load my own fault as a result of telling analog to do something
really stupid, it getting confused and becoming a deadlocked process? That
would certainly explain why my load would jump up a notch once a day.
Any way to kill a deadlocked process? I've tried the traditional things. How
about rm -rf /proc/<pid>/ :)
Such a deadlock SHOULD not happen. Q: could it be that the analog that gets
stuck coincides with a logrotate or so ?
(Unless it's evil file locking stuff)
Well, I'm not sure what is causing the deadlock condition but I've since
noticed that any process that tries to access that particular file (a web
server access log) becomes deadlocked (oddly enough, except for apache). I
attempted the following: 1) stopped apache, 2) cp suspectfile newname, 3)
delete suspectfile, 4) mv newname suspectfile. I got deadlocked on step two.
I suspect some form of file corruption. I edited my apache config file and
told it to use a different file for that virtual host... so the suspect file
isn't used anymore. I did a shutdown -r now (I'm at work and the machine is at
home so I'm glad it did indeed come back up)... and will check the disk when I
get a chance. I'm updating the analog script to use the new file as well.
If and when I get the suspect file fixed, I'll just append the new file to it
and call it good.
So, to summarize, it appears that I'm getting deadlocked processes as a result
of a corrupted file(system). I'll wait a day or two to make sure this is the
case before I close this bug report... if you don't mind.
I greatly appreciate your help!

Growth and differentiation of progenitor/stem cells derived from the human mammary gland.
Clayton, H., Titley, I., Vivanco, Md. M.
Growth and differentiation of progenitor/stem cells derived from the human mammary gland.
pp. 444-460.
Full text not available from this repository.
Growth and differentiation of progenitor/stem cells derived from the human mammary gland Estrogen is necessary for the full development of the mammary gland and it is also involved in breast cancer development. We set out to identify and characterise progenitor/stem cells in the human mammary gland and to explore the role of estrogen in their proliferation and differentiation. Three candidate stem cell populations were isolated: double positive (DP) cells co-expressed the luminal and myoepithelial markers, EMA and CALLA respectively, whereas double negative (DN) cells did not express these cell surface markers; side population (SP) cells were characterised by their differential ability to efflux the dye Hoechst 33342. The ABC transporter, Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) was more highly expressed in SP cells than in non-SP cells and a specific BCRP inhibitor, Ko143, reduced SP formation, suggesting that BCRP confers the SP phenotype in mammary epithelial cells, as has been demonstrated in other tissues. Interestingly, SP cells were double negative for the EMA and CALLA antigens and therefore represent a separate and distinct population to DP cells. Single cell multiplex RT-PCR indicated that the SP and DN cells do not express detectable levels of ERa or ERb, suggesting that estrogen is not involved in their proliferation. DP cells expressed ERa but at a lower level than differentiated luminal cells. These findings invoke a potential strategy for the breast stem/progenitor cells to ignore the mitogenic effects of estrogen. All three cell populations generated mixed colonies containing both luminal and myoepithelial cells from a single cell and therefore represent candidate multipotent stem cells. However, DN cells predominately generated luminal colonies and exhibited a much higher cloning efficiency than differentiated luminal cells. Further characterisation of these candidate progenitor/stem cells should contribute to a better understanding of normal mammary gland development and breast tumorigenesis.

THE Urhobo Council of Bishops and Elders (UCBE) has condemned the practice of ritual killings and sales of human parts in some parts of the country, describing it as barbaric and inhuman.
The group, in a statement by its Chairman, Rt. Rev Vincent Muoghereh and Secretary, Rt. Rev I.A Obie, said: "when the children are delivered, prospective customers pay for the babies and take these babies for whatever purpose for their purchase. We have degenerated to a level lower than animals, too bad."
Lamenting that "baby factories are reported all over the country where young girls are camped with few boys being made to make them pregnant," the statement noted that "the absence of true parental care and training of their wards is responsible for the human deviance which it said must be discontinued."
UCBE expressed worry at what it described as war of words and character assassination among politicians in the country, and aspirants to abide and play by the rules of the game.
"Any disagreement of the individual or group pursuit should therefore not plague the entire nation into a disastrous end," the statement said, noting that "all those now divided into several political parties today were once members of one political party whose agenda was to rule the nation in sincerity and love and not deviate in spite of party differences."
Congratulating President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Assembly for the passage of the anti-gay bill into law, the statement added that "the UCBE wish to use this medium to encourage President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the National Assembly and assure them that we are solidly behind them."

Thomas Gould, Kristjan Randalu, Stephan Braun Trio
(Kings Place Hall Two, 13 April 2018. Review by Sebastian Scotney)
Definitely a premiere. The trio of English violinist Thomas Gould, Estonian pianist Kristjan Randalu, and German, Berlin-based cellist Stephan Braun were making their very first public appearance on the same stage in Kings Place Hall Two on Friday.
The circumstance reminded me of something Evan Parker once told me in an interview: "Music makes you ask some straightforward, unspoken questions of yourself and of others: 'What can you do? What can you bring to it?" – it's a case of thinking 'I know why I'm here, and as long as you've got some idea of why you're here...' That's the way improvising musicians can work with each other. You bump into each other, you re-connect quickly."
At Friday night's launch of the trio I had precisely that sense that each of the musicians knew why they – and the others – were there. The vibe was one of complementarity, respect and a similar aesthetic. The whole venture gave a very strong account of itself on its first outing, but also left the feeling – or a hope at the very least – that these three musicians with their busy careers and other calls on their time might want to give this formation the time to let it develop as deserves to happen.

The piano/violin/cello trio is one of the great classical music formations, but as an improvising band is extremely rare. The first thing I clocked was, in a way, exactly what I was expecting to hear: that Thomas Gould brings total melodic fluency, a conviction and a presence in the sound which are – well – always worth hearing.
If Gould be so melodically persuasive, how completely right it is that he should have invited Randalu, a composer with a European-jazz ethos and a superb melodic gift who has grown massively in assurance and stature since I last heard him in this same hall in 2011. (review) His tunes suit Gould's melodic sense like a glove, and although his evening at the piano was mostly a model of pedal-less restraint and superbly balanced chamber playing, it was also great to hear him have the opportunity to build the great solo he played on his own alluring tune with its light and dark, named after an Italian town mostly known for its wines, Rignana.

The least familiar name on stage on Friday was that of cellist Stephan Braun. Mary James has already covered him for this site. She returned from hearing him compete in the Seifert competition in Krakow in 2016 (REPORT) in a combination of shock and rapture. He won a special award. And he turned heads on Friday too. In fact, probably the most-repeated remark after the concert was "where are all the cellists?" Braun's armoury of sounds, techniques, modes of attack and the sheer extent of his technical possibilities on the instrument are extraordinary. In his tune The Raid the cello bow is more or less completely re-invented. I did discover that this was not in fact Braun's very first visit to London. He has been here before – of all the least likely places – as a member of Melody Gardot's band (see this video).

Contribution à l'amélioration de la modélisation du bilan hydrique du mil (Pennisetum glaucum L.) au Sénégal : mise en relation du niveau d'évapotranspiration avec la surface foliaire
Mémoire présenté et soutenu par Dieudonné Steve MBENDA, le 25 août 2010 à l'UCAD, Département de Biologie végétale pour l'obtention du
Master en Agroforesterie, Ecologie et Adaptation.
Abstract : This study is part of the program of improving agricultural production in West Africa (WAAPP). This program is implemented CERAAS in collaboration with ISRA and CORAF, through the proposed reduction of vulnerability and the intensification of cereal systems in the context of climate variability and change. The main objective of the study is to determine the maximum levels of water consumption of millet, and to relate these levels of water consumption with its leaf area (AIA) and potential evapotranspiration (ETo), to improve the algorithms in the water balance in the model Sarrah. The specific objectives were to monitor, on plots of millet, the water balance to determine water consumption, and parallel developments leaf to determine the ratios ET/ETo cultures, and finally, comparing the ratio ET/ETo with LAI values to establish and/or validate a relationship for determining Kc.
The approach was to implement a trial of millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), With different dynamics of growth and development of LAI by the choices of agronomic treatments (variety, density, fertilization). The test was conducted under rainfed and supplemented by irrigation on soil type Dior-Deck "station at NCAR Bambey July 18 to November 15, 2009. The monitoring and measurement of soil moisture, climatic and agronomic parameters related to crop development (phenology, biomass, LAI, ETo, ET, etc.) have been made.
The data obtained were used to verify the different relationships for determining Kc. The maximum values of Kc obtained ranged between 0.94 and 1.79 for Suna, and between 1.10 and 2.02 for Sanio. The observations yielded values of Kc max well above the values recommended by FAO (1.2 to 1.3). These values are between those proposed by Dancette (1.5) and Affholder (1.79 to 1.94). These results seem to confirm results of previous studies conducted in West Africa by Dancette (1978) and Affholder (1995 and 1997), that we can have much higher Kc values recommended by FAO. The results showed that for model parameterization Sarrah, use games max value Kc varies in the range of 1.6 to 2 and 0.5 kdf.
Keywords : millet, Pennisetum glaucum L., water balance, simulation, LAI, AND, Kc, modelling.

Phytin (Phytic acid)
Energy, energy, energy babe. Give it a bust, make it a must - students, professionals and maybe the rest why not test the Phytin and be at your best!
Phytin 40 tablets x 250 mg
Phytin is a white amorphous powder, odorless and tasteless, almost insoluble in water, soluble in dilute mineral acids and in some organic acids. One part Phytin dissolves in 10 parts of 1 n hydrochloric acid and forms a clear solution. According to some authors, Phytin contains 36% organically bound phosphoric acid. Upon heating with dilute acids, alkali and water, Phytin hydrolyzes to give ortho-phosphoric acid and the cyclitol myo-inositol as end products. These are obtained together with some other products of semi-degradation.
The first patents for Phytin isolation were filed by S. Posternak and date back to 1902 and 1903 (DRP 147968, 147969, 159749, 160470). In his extensive studies S. Posternak (1921) established that the salts (magnesium, calcium, manganese, etc.) of phytic acid he obtained were likely to lose 3 molecules of water upon vacuum drying and suggested the following gross formula for phytic acid.
The structural identification of phytic acid and, consequently, Phytin structure remained questionable for long time. The following two tentative structures were commented: Neuberg's (1908) asymmetric tri-pyrophosphate structure and Anderson's (1914) symmetric hexa-orthophosphate structure.
Different arguments have been proposed for each structure.Smith and Clark (1951) confirmed the heterogeneity of phytic acid by ion-exchange methods. Cosgrove (1966) identified it as a complex mixture of polyphosphates, including esters of inositol and myo-inositol. Tate (1968) studied phytic acid by electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance and verified its structure as myo-inositol-hexa-phosphoric acid.
Synthesis (Courtois, J. et al. 1951); Diemair and Becker, 1955) and modern chromatographic and spectrographic techniques (Johnson, L.F. et al. 1969) have ascertained that the gross formula of phytic acid is C6H6[OPO(OH)2]6, whereas its structural formula is recognized as:
The raw material for Phytin production is rice bran and cereal grains bran, as well as oil plant cakes obtained as by-products of the food processing and oil-producing industries.
When processing the raw plant material, it should be known that many plant seeds (especially of the bean species) contain the enzyme phytase together with Phytin. In aqueous solutions phytase causes partial or complete hydrolysis of Phytin to intermediary products, such as inositol-mono-, inositol-di-, and inositol-tri-ortho-phosphates.
Different technological processes are available for industrial Phytin isolation. They can be classified in two groups, according to the extracting medium used. Most methods include extraction of the plant material with acidulated water, using some organic acids (formic, trichloroacetic, lactic, oxalic, citric, etc.) (Sarma, 1942) or dilute mineral acids (hydrochloric, nitric) (Schormoeller, J. et al., 1956); Pavlov L., S. Stanev, V. Kamedulski, 1969; Zakharov V. P. 1993).
The aqueous -acid extracts, in addition to the main product, yield also protein substances, inorganic salts, sugars, etc. some of the proteins precipitate with time and can be further separated by filtration. Phytin itself falls as a white amorphous precipitate after neutralization and mild alkalization with alkaline base, lime water, ammonia, basic carbonate or acetate, etc. The precipitated crude product is filtered, washed, and purified by subsequent dissolution and precipitation, boiling with activated charcoal and intermediary treatments to remove specific admixtures (Posternak, 1903, Pavlov et al., 1969).

As part of this yearlong journey to transform my wardrobe, I have made
a list an extensive list of essentials, seeing that I'm coming from logo tees and ripped jeans. After scouring blogs and blogs and more blogs I have come up with lists and lists that are scary and long:
- 10 Pairs of Shoes Every Woman Should Own
- Handbags For Every Occasion
- A Nautical Top
- The Perfect Jean, Black Pant, Cardigan, Trench…
- Accessories: Sunglasses, Belts, Hats, Jewelry, Nail Polish
And of course seasons change so winter, spring, fall, summer all need appropriate clothing. Oh my goodness, this is going to cost me more than graduate school. I've come up with a plan of action. I like to believe that some of the things I own are salvageable so I'm not going to donate everything! My husband may shoot me. But I will have to budget and wisely choose what's necessary. Going with that, I'm going to start with shoes.

Arsenal scouts paid a visit to Italy to watch Udinese's highly-rated midfielder Jakub Jankto.
Jakub Jankto has made 22 Serie A (17 starts) appearances for Udinese this season, but it seems he has done enough to catch the attention of several heavy weight Premier League clubs.
The 21-year-old has been one of Udinese's brightest players this season, and has scored five goals from central midfield. He has four assists to his name as well.
The Czech Republic international has stated his desire recently to play abroad in order to gain new experience.
"I want to play abroad, to try some new experience. I'm curious, I want to know other things," he told Tuttomercatoweb. "I certainly do not see myself in Italy too long, certainly not up to 25 years."
According to Talksport, West Ham have set their sight on the midfielder. There is also a reported interest from West Brom, according to Tuttomercatoweb, but Udinese could demand a fee in the region of €10m-12m, as reported by Gazza Mercato.
Arsenal seem to have joined the race as well, with Gazza Mercato reporting that scouts were present in Turin to watch Jankto during Udinese's 2-2 draw against Torino. Jankto produced a fine performance during the game, and the Arsenal scouts should be pleased with what they saw on Sunday.
The report adds that Jankto is close to agreeing on a contract extension with the Friuli club till 2021. However, with several Premier League clubs vying for his signature, chances are high of him leaving the Italian club.
Will he be a good signing for Arsenal? His ability to shield the back four, his set piece taking capabilities, and his penchant for perfectly weighted through balls could make him a star for the future.

Let me tell you something peeps, it kills me (figuratively, naturally) to promote anything where the performing dates are close to the performance dates of a production I am involved in. I cannot bear it that the public might have to choose between what I am doing and what someone else is doing. Furthermore, I am not altogether sure that my ego can cope with the (obviously) imagined slight if my show is not chosen as the "must see" production. But in this case I think that you will just have to blow your cash and time budgets and do both. More on what I am doing in a couple of days.....
In the meantime for those of you that want to experience something a little different, want to be seduced by a warm deep voice, experience the creative merging of music and drama this will be a wonderful piece of theatre for you.
Nina Hein, theater director, choreographer and video artist, whose past projects include Dubai Drama Groups production of God Of Carnage and work with the "Angry Bairds" on Eat Dubai (a fascinating take on supper theater held in January at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding) has the creative street credibility that make us very lucky to have her in our midst. In the melting pot of cultures that is Dubai Nina is a creative powerhouse that you should all experience while you are lucky enough to live here.
Nina is directing Odekhiren ( Ode) Amaize who's bass-baritone voice will melodiously seduce you in any performance he undertakes. You will melt into his voice. Ode is another of the wonderfully multi-talented expats, that finds themselves on this spit of sand, with so much to give a theater loving community.
The theater going public in Dubai are happy to fork out for very high priced tickets to international acts and sit almost in the rafters where they have to watch screens to be able to see the performers on the stage. It beggars belief. What Dubai audiences should be doing is sitting in the intimacy of a small theater and have an emotional rapport with the performers. Don't let this be one of those occasions where you lose out. Get your ticket now. Experience our locally based talents in full creative flow.
I caught up with Nina and asked if she would answer a couple of questions about the show:
Zimboinlimbo: Who approached who with the idea? How did the two of you come to the decision to work together and why on this piece?
Nina Hein: I've seen the original production with Nikolaus Paryla at Münchener Volkstheater (Munich, Germany). It was part of the repertory and Paryla played the role for 30 years. I saw the production many, many years ago; I think I was studying theatre at university, or perhaps when I was still in school? I always liked the play, and I remembered it better than any other shows I saw (and I've seen many!). When chatting with Ode about 4 years ago, I mentioned it to him. I don't remember why exactly. But the spark passed to him.
Zimboinlimbo: Have you worked together before?
Nina Hein: This is our second piece together, we worked on A. Pushkin's "Mozart and Salieri",which was performed at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi in March of 2010. Then I moved, and we kind of lost contact. We met again and Ode was telling me that he had started to play the double bass and that he is memorizing the text of the play. So finally, a few years down the line, we are doing the show!
Zimboinlimbo: What particular skills did the two of you bring to the production?
Nina Hein: We both have musical training. Ode's is much greater than mine, as he studied voice at conservatories for many years. What I have enjoyed, a lot, in preparing for this production is that we can discuss music, and composers, and that's something I haven't done in a long time!
Zimboinlimbo: What inspired the design of the poster?
Nina Hein: AUD students designed posters based on the play text and Ode's vision of the play. The best or most appropriate one was chosen because we liked the presence of the double bass and the shadow, smaller in scale, of the musician.
Have I wet your appetite? I do hope so. See below for booking details

The Double Bass
by Patrick Süskind
English Translation: Michael Hofmann
Sat. 21st March 2015
Performed by Ode Amaize
Directed by Nina Hein
Set Design by Margo Tummel
Directed by Nina Hein
Set Design by Margo Tummel
Written in 1980 by Patrick Süskind (author of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer), The Double Bass was premiered in 1981 in Munich, Germany. It has been translated into several languages and performed in leading theatres and festivals.
"What no composer has yet composed has, at last, been written by Patrick Süskind: as satisfying, fully-fledged solo piece for a double-bass player. Normally, as the speaker in this poignant dramatic monologue reminds us, the double basses are assimilated, concealed in the orchestra. There are no solo parts, at best the odd duet. But the musician who makes his life in the lowest reaches of the string section is also a human being: a creature prey to frustration and jealousy, a person whose devotion to art goes sadly unrecognised, a man capable of the most elevated feelings towards a beautiful soprano soloist. Scored both as a social comedy and a lament to the essential unfairness of life, The Double Bass restores a grain of justice to a too long-ignored area of artistic endeavor, allowing one double-bass player at least to perform in these pages with marvelous sprezzatura". — ©1987 Michael Hofmann ©1984 Diogenes Verlag Ag.
This production is directed by Nina Hein. It is produced and performed by Odekhiren Amaize (Ode) and accompanied by a good amount of incidental music of Bach, Beethoven, Wagner, Brahms, Schubert, Dittersdorf, Bruckner, etc.
March 20 & 21 8:00pm-10:00pm

Pack your bags; we're going for a ride. You have to meet me in San Francisco on the afternoon of Sept. 8 because that is when we pick up our Indian Chieftain, a legendary bike, beautifully brought back to life a few years ago. In all my years of riding, I have never taken a passenger, so this ride is a first for both of us.
How can you go along for a ride without being on the Indian with me? I am going to imagine your invisible presence, sitting close behind me. You will not be paying any attention to the ride. Each day, I am going to tell you what you missed. Spending so much time together in close quarters could result in you wanting to share, and I am encouraging it. We're going to roll on two-lane roads, meandering through Northern California, up into Southern Oregon and down the coastline of both states.
I am going to take pictures, write short posts on my blog and record daily podcasts to capture the immediacy of the experience
Heading east on the big highways out of San Francisco will take me to my first stop, Groveland, the street address for the opening to Yosemite. Sitting here, I can conjure the sensations from just yesterday on my own roads. When the sun is above the line of sight, with the trades blowing gently from the east, under a blue sky with shaggy, puffed clouds, surrounded by ocean and held together by an interior of lollypop green mountains, I melt into my bike. At some marker on the first day's ride, this fleeting moment of familiar, biker bliss will slip in as Yosemite rolls into view.
The moment I thought about the ride, the urge to record it instantly attached itself. Writing is difficult for me. I am most comfortable when I have a person or purpose drawing me out. I spent a year and a half writing my life story to my young grandson, a gift he will receive when his parents think he's old enough, probably 30 years old!
The past few years have felt a little like word MMA, always ending in a draw. Giving myself permission to commit to this ride nearly a year ago pulled me quickly back into the world of shared words. I am now obligated to meet up with the Indian and tell crisscrossing stories, one in my mind and one from the road.
I am going way outside my comfort zone. A seasoned biker would likely think I am crazy. My primary experience is a dozen years riding on the stress free, familiar roads of Kaua'i, on easy to handle Hondas. On our trip, we will be on a much bigger bike, riding on roads that will vary each day, with no idea what is around the other side of every blind curve. There are daily destinations, never staying in one place for more than a night.
I am not sure I'd be enjoying my life as much without taking chances, although sometimes I want to pull the covers over my head and disappear from the see-everything mirror. I don't know how many times I have forced myself to overcome horrific trepidation, only to find that getting out of bed and folding into the day was not the monster I feared. Riding a motorcycle can be like that. You always have near misses or riding miscalculations that burn your throat and explode your heart, but cruising the coastline of Kaua'i washes it gently away and you smile, leaving the anxiety ghost over your shoulder, behind you on the disappearing road.
Whenever you feel like it, get on the back and introduce yourself because I can't turn around while I am riding.
- Larry Feinstein has spent a lifetime wondering what we're all about. Visit mindandthemotorcycle.com email firstname.lastname@example.com to receive updates on plans for the ride.

My dissertation is an attempt to construct a theoretical framework for the distinctive nature of the mass media in the postcolonial political context through an engagement with the theoretical legacy of Indian political theory and historiography, especially the Subaltern Studies school. I draw from Partha Chatterjee's conceptualization of Indian politics as divided into the two spheres of civil and political society and interpret these political categories through the rubric of mass media and televisual discourse, both to locate the mass media in the discourse and practice of politics, and to also locate political practice as it takes place in a mediatized context.
To extend Chatterjee's understanding of the postcolonial polity, I map these political categories to Jean Baudrillard's understanding of human communication that is divided between the symbolic and semiotic domains. I trace Baudrillard's theoretical trajectory from Durkheim and Marx through social anthropology and media theory. I also try to interpret his categories through Marx's concept of the subsumption of labor under capital as a metaphor to understand how the thread of capitalist modernity runs through them.
I posit that the nation-form is the essential embodiment of capitalist modernity in the context of a mediatized political sphere where the nation is essentially what Baudrillard calls a simulacrum, and I try to understand it as a semiotic discourse that is located within the realm of civil society. I explore this aspect of the relationship between media and politics through instances of the mass-mediation of the symbolic domain of political society.
Finally I argue that it is the symbolic domain that is the dominant aspect of communication in the postcolonial context, and it is a recovery of the symbolic that will provide a political challenge radical enough to destabilize the semiotic realm of capitalist modernity. This recovery can only take place if the mass media shifts its location from civil society to the democratic challenges of political society. A radical theory of the media in the postcolonial context will be one that will enable this shift by critically engaging with the absences and silences of the symbolic within current media discourse.

The complete answer is rather complex and deals with psychology and sociology more than anything else. However, at the heart of it lies two factors - that the Bible requires interpretation and that we are fallen creatures.
Let's start with the interpretation issue. I don't want to give the impression that this is a bad thing - it is how God has chosen to give us revelation - but there is no escaping the fact that we are far removed from the Bible's writing in terms of culture, language and time. Two intelligent, honest and sincere people can read certain passages and come up with two different, opposing interpretations. For this reason, there will always be people who disagree on how we should worship. Now, I'm talking about little things, not big things. No one could honestly and sincerely read the New Testament and believe that Jesus was not the Messiah, did not die for our sins, was not raised from the dead, etc. I do think someone could come away with different impressions about whether women should serve in the church, men should always have short hair or whether we must baptize babies. Again, these are small issues, not central to the core of Christian belief, but they do affect how we worship. All it takes is someone to strongly disagree with someone else about how to worship and they will eventually leave and start a new church with like-minded believers. If you examine the differences between all the protestant churches in North America, I think this is what you will find - differences in agreement on the less important doctrines in Scripture.
Sometimes, due to our fallen nature, church leaders become corrupt or lose touch with reality. (It is also certainly true that spiritual leaders are at greater risk for spiritual attacks). Whatever the reason, sometimes a church falls off the rails and the congregation must leave and start a new church. Some other members of the congregation may not see or acknowledge the problem and will stick around. The most extreme example of this would have to be the reformation, but this happens all the time on smaller scales.
All of this must grieve Christ to some extent. He called us to be His church, not his 1,356 different churches. But at the same time, we can look at the bright side. Sometimes churches differ in nothing more than the kind of music they play or how they dress in the service. This variety can allow people to find a home where they feel comfortable and welcome. If you want a very conservative church where they wear suits and play only hymns, you can find that. If you prefer to dress down and hear some contemporary music, that is also available to you.
My advice to anyone would be this: Discover
beliefs and your interpretation. Do this with much prayer and mediation, and ask the Lord to guide you. Be as honest and open minded as you can. Once you feel comfortable with what the Lord is asking you to know about Him and how He wants to be worshiped, find the church that is most closely aligned with what you believe.
