Top Technology Trends for the Agriculture Industry in 2018
2018 has arrived, and with it technology continues to make big waves in the Ag/Farm industry.
The Ag/Farm Industry Continues to Move Online
Data shows:
– Google processes over 3.5 billion searches per day.
– According to Google, farm and farm equipment search queries were up 14% in 2017 and clicks on the query results were up 23%. Both significant jumps.
Placing your business in front of your customers online is becoming more and more competitive every day.
Your competitors are buying ads in greater numbers.
-According to Google, the number of overall ads for Ag companies grew by 31% in 2017.
Be sure you're highly ranked in Google and many of the other online places like Yelp, YP, Bing, Yahoo more when your customers look for your products online – fastfynd does just that.
The President Pushes to Expand High-Speed Internet in Rural America
According to a 2016 Federal Communications Commission report 39% of rural America lacks high-speed internet. During the Presidents speech in Nashville on January 8 of this year the President made clear his commitment to improving that number.
"We need to get rural America more connected. We need it for our tractors, we need it for our schools, we need it for our home-based businesses," a White House official told reporters ahead of Trump's speech at the annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The White House described the moves as an incremental step to help spur private development while the administration figures out what it can do to help with funding, something that could become part of Trump's plan to invest in infrastructure according to a Reuters news report from January 8th.
Data Analysis for Farmers is Becoming More Important
According to Agweb, "Data analysis in the years ahead will supplement what farmers know intuitively—and in some cases challenge those assumptions. New products rely on aerial satellite imagery, greenness sensors, soil maps and millions of weather data points. The question of data ownership will be a subject of growing debate." Proving again farmers need to be more connected than ever before.
The Use of Drone is Growing in Ag
Some big name companies such as CAT and John Deere are leading the way, in drone usage for their customers. Drones are being used today to monitor crops and even spray crops with fertilizers and pesticides.

Lexington, Ky. – The Transylvania men's lacrosse team delivered its first shutout of the 2019 season on Wednesday evening in a 26-0 mastery of the Earlham College Quakers in a Heartland Collegiate Lacrosse Conference match at Pat Deacon Stadium.
The Pioneers struck the back of the net 10 times in the first quarter to put away the Quakers at home early on Wednesday night as they moved to 10-4 overall and 6-0 in conference play. Earlham fell to 2-10 overall and 2-4 in conference play.
Sheymus Maloney scored a career-high four goals in the win, doing all of his damage in the first and second quarters. The freshman scored the eighth goal of the night with 5:34 left in the first quarter and tacked on three of Transy's five second-quarter goals to wrap up his offensive production by the half.
Trenton Sneed found Maloney for the final score of the half with 5:44 remaining in the second quarter to put the Pioneers ahead 15-0.
It was also a notable night for junior Kris Stone, who set a new Transylvania single-game record with a career-high 17 ground balls, eclipsing a previously held record by both Paul Stickel and Sam Ives, who each claimed 14 in previous contests.
Transylvania hounded Earlham into 26 failed clears for a clearance rate of 28 percent on Wednesday and forced 37 turnovers by the Quakers.
The Pioneers were dominant in the battle of possession, winning 28 out of 30 face-offs and gaining 62 ground balls to just 17 for the Quakers.
T.J. Toivonen led the Pioneers with three caused turnovers while Transylvania collected 16 overall.
Michael Webb collected the win in goal for the Pioneers as his record improved to 9-3 while Luke Garas minded the net for the final half hour. Each player recorded one save apiece in contributing to the defensive effort.
The Pioneers return to the field on Saturday, April 13 as they celebrate Senior Day 2019 versus HCLC opponent Anderson University. A senior day ceremony will precede the 4:00 p.m. opening face-off at Pat Deacon Stadium as the Pioneers pay homage to eight senior members of their program.

Spring Sing
We also have eagles all year long. This pair is called the Taku Twins, although they are a mated pair. They perch on this pole next to the Juneau Douglas Bridge. Often they perch closer together and facing opposite directions -- which I think is cool in a mated pair, close and watching each others' backs.
Just lately we are seeing whole flocks of chick-a-dees. They are delightful little guys, often descending on a mountain ash and denuding it of berries in a few minutes. Once, before the mountain ash that used to grow right outside my bedroom window was chopped down because of the carpenter ants, Missy and I stood and watched them feasting. We were within four inches of some of them, but what with the screen, they were safe. They really chirp up the mornings.
And I've seen a lot of these guys just lately, mostly on lawns. I love the way they space themselves on a lawn. I love to watch them all shift when someone comes too close to one of them. And, their pretty little red vests are a cheerful sight. Although eagles and ravens do have calls, and ravens even are classified as songbirds, they don't sing pretty songs. It is nice to have the birds with the pretty voices back in town.

How wonderful to live where you can see the bald eagles in their natural habitat!
We have a lot of crows (at least I think they're crows and not ravens, not big enough) living in our neighborhood. They love to taunt my dogs when I have them out walking on the leash. Yesterday one hopped just out of their range as we approached, and I'd swear laughed at them (threw his head back and made a Ha Ha Ha Ha sound) while they strained at their leashes trying to get at him.

I've had chickadees land on me for peanut butter.
- Maya's Granny said...
Pseu and AC -- yep, that sounds like chickadees and crows, alright. The crows here laugh at dogs and cats all the time. And chickadees are cheeky little guys.

I love the idea of the ravens tossing snow around. A wonderful visual.

ADMAT Runs Proton Magnetometer Survey Diver Course To Maritime Archaeological Students of University of Bristol
Students form the MA Degree Course Practice Using Sidescan Sonar and Proton Magnetometer.
Students from the Centre for Historical and Maritime Archaeology at the University of Bristol, were taken off south Wales for a weekend to learn the practical side of using the AX2000 magnetometer by Aquascan and the Imagenex sidescan sonar. The course was sponsored by the Department of Archaeology and Aquascan International.
Aquscan had hired the MAKO an old RAF rescue launch as the survey boat. Bob Williams from Aquascan International and Dr Simon Spooner were the instructors for the weekend. During the Saturday the students learnt how to use these pieces of equipment. An excellent lunch was served by the skipper and crew of the boat and then in the afternoon more work until dusk. On the Sunday it was decided that as the students had done so well, the team would go and see if we could find a Spanish wreck of the 1700s which Bob Williams had looked for 20 years ago. The students managed to electronically relocate the wreck site, confirming Bob's original work 20 years ago!

We may never get an EV Lamborghini, and that's just fine.
As hybrids and electric vehicles become more mainstream, even supercar makers like Lamborghini have begun to discuss electrification in their lineups. Lamborghini has already confirmed to Automotive News Europe that a plug-in version of the Urus will arrive in 18 months, and hybrid replacements for the Aventador and Huracan are also on the way. Hybrid vehicles will play a major role in Lamborghini's future, but it seems a fully electric model may be out of the question according to Lamborghini Chief Technical Officer, Maurizio Reggiani.
Reggiani said "Our target is to deliver a super sports car, and these specifications don't exist with a battery package in terms of energy and power." For example, a Lamborghini supercar should be able to achieve a 186 mph top speed and complete three laps of the Nurburgring racetrack in Germany. Most EVs struggle to edge close to 200 mph, and to finish three full laps of the 12.9-mile Nurburgring track would be difficult without running out of battery. Lamborghini is currently working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a three-year partnership to develop better battery technology with improved storage capability.
The lab tests with MIT will conclude in 2019, after which Lamborghini "can start to think about what this sort of [EV] car would be," Reggiani said. Even if the battery technology is improved, Reggiani said there is another factor which may prevent an EV Lamborghini from happening: sound. A super sports car is an emotion," Reggiani said. "It must be perceivable based on acceleration, the emotion the car must give you." An electric car may be fast, but it can't deliver the sheer emotion of Lamborghini's V10 or V12 engines. For those reasons, Lamborghini cars will continue to have internal combustion engines, at least for now.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 9 - Verse 36
Verse 36. Who is he? It is probable that the man did not know that ho who now addressed him was the same who had healed him. He had not yet seen him (Joh 9:7), but he was prepared to acknowledge him when he did see him. He inquired, therefore, who the person was, or wished that he might be pointed out to him, that he might see him. This passage shows that he was disposed to believe, and had a strong desire to see and hear the Son of God.
Lord. This word here, as in many other instances in the New Testament, means "Sir." It is clear that the man did not know that it was the Lord Jesus that addressed him, and he therefore replied to him in the common language of respect, and asked him to point out to him the Son of God. The word translated "Lord" here is rendered "Sir" in Joh 4:11 Joh 20:15; 12:21; Ac 16:30; Mt 27:63.
It should have been also here, and in many other places.

The USB Implementers Forum — a group that includes major tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google — has announced a new USB HID (Human Interface Device) standard for Braille displays. That may not sound like much, but it's a big move forward to make computers more accessible to people who are blind or have impaired vision by making it much easier to use Braille displays across different operating systems and devices without having to worry about unique software or drivers for each device.
Ultimately, it means that soon, users will be able to simply use Braille readers as plug-and-play devices across a wide hardware ecosystem, much in the same way that users are able to simply plug in a USB mouse or keyboard. The standard seeks to make this process function similarly across operation systems, whether it's a PC, Mac, or Android device.

My favorite part is illustrating the story, and Julia's favorite part is writing it. Together we've created picture books touching on meaningful topics such as, the importance of our environment in We Love the World Because..., pet adoption in Pencil, listening to parents in Iggy, The Owl and The Blue Tree, being different is okay in What's an A.C.O.R.N.?, to name a few. We also have resources, like the Storytelling tab above. We thank you for your visit, and we hope you enjoy our website!

Llama Lu
Llama Lu, as everyone in the Sanctuary liked to call her, was born with no wool. How can a llama have no wool? With winter at their doorsteps, what will the surprised and concerned animals do to help her stay warm? A bit of chaos, goodwill, and being bad at math may be just what they need to figure things out.

Committee discussions include two key issues: food insecurity and desertification
By Rachel Sutton, Journalist
The delegates of the Food and Agriculture Committee began discussion and deliberation immediately, honing in on two key issues: food insecurity and desertification. Many of the delegates present in this committee represent countries whose physical geographies put them at heightened risk for desertification, and tensions began to rise on whether or not this ought to be a central topic of discussion for the committee. As the delegate of India stressed, the temporal component of desertification makes it an urgent topic to address before the situation reaches an irresolvable point.
As an option for a method of addressing food insecurity the topic of Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) was brought to the floor. Delegates quickly found themselves divided on their stance towards this topic. While some felt as though GMOs could be a promising option for helping to combat food insecurity, other delegates found themselves in strong opposition of exploring the topic, due to safety concerns. Similar hesitant attitudes were exhibited by some delegates regarding turning to advancements in technology as a method of coping with food crises.
After a thorough discussion, delegates transitioned into a moderated caucus to discuss in detail research methods that could be useful to combating desertification, and the lengths to which mitigating climate change would prove useful in this regard. Discussions touched upon the need for gender equality in the agricultural sector and the need to educate populations on what sustainable farming practices would entail, and how to carry them out in their communities. The delegate of Nigeria brought up the importance of ensuring that all countries are given the adequate resources to implement and achieve the goals set forward by the committee.
As the debate began to wrap up for the day delegates focused in on the idea of funding initiatives such as education with the key focusing being on educating women and minorities who are often most involved in agricultural practices. The session ended in a final moderated caucus to allow all delegates to state their position in regards to the situation at hand. We look forward to seeing where the delegates take the discussion tomorrow!

Thanksgiving Day in the Monastery
What do Nuns, Turkey in the Straw, and Play-doh have in common? All of them were a part of our Thanksgiving Day celebration last week. We had our usual Thanksgiving Day Gaudeamus which brought much rejoicing, feasting, and time spent outdoors from after Mass until Night Prayer that evening.
After our Thanksgiving Dinner we teamed up to create symbols of different things for which we are grateful. This is where the Play-doh came in. For some entertainment during supper dishes Sr. Cecilia Maria played Turkey in the Straw which brought out the playfulness of everyone and was a joyful end to a day of gratitude for God's abundant blessings.
By the way...6 days until Christie Anna's Vestition and Naming Day - Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception! Keep her in your prayers and also those future postulants - We don't know who they are but God does. :)

Many, many years ago, my French Club went to a wonderful little French restaurant in downtown Minneapolis - Chateau de Paris... It was a magical night for a group of romantic young teenagers! The girls all wore velvet dresses, the guys wore suits, and we had to order our meal in French, and speak ONLY French during the entire six-course candlelit dinner. There was classic French music playing in the background, and the entire evening was pure MAGIC! We started off dinner with a crock of French Onion Soup, topped with golden croutons and melted cheese, and then moved on to our second course - classic Wedge Salad. And I'm telling you, we thought we were the classiest ever!
In a world ruled by kale salad, the iceberg wedge salad should be obsolete. But there's a reason why this hunk of supercrisp iceberg lettuce, cloaked in tangy blue cheese dressing and topped with everything from crispy bacon to crumbled eggs, avocado and dried cranberries keeps showing up at all the finest little French restaurants and American steakhouses!
Make sure, before you even get to compiling your amazing salad, that you let your iceberg lettuce sit in the back of your freezer for a little while. It will only need a few minutes, but it's an important key to giving that crunchy, crisp texture that is so iconic of a wedge salad.
As if your salad wasn't impressive enough, just imagine what your dinner guests will have to say when they find out you even made the Blue Cheese Dressing and Caramelqued Bacon yourself. These two things will take your classic wedge salad to the next level, you Master Chef!
And although the classic is, well, classic, you can always shake things up with a new trick or two. Try cutting your iceberg lettuce in a disc rather than a wedge. This still gives you a cool way to serve your salad but with an unexpected twist. Also, cutting your salad in a disc shape makes it a lot easier to clean your lettuce and gives you a flat, even surface on which to put more of your yummy toppings.
Any way you slice it, this is a wonderful salad all by itself, or alongside your favorite dinner. Add some caramelized pecan bits and some extra blue cheese crumbles, and everyone will be SO HAPPY! There are never any empty plates when I make this!

The Wallich has joined organisations from across the Welsh housing and homelessness sectors to call on the UK Government to rethink their proposed changes to the housing element of benefit due to come into force in April 2018. We are deeply concerned about the effect these changes will have on services supporting the most vulnerable people in Wales.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced that the housing element of benefit for those living in the social sector, including those living in supported housing, will be capped at the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) level from April 2018. In practice this will amount to a significant loss of funding for supported housing services such as hostels, which rely on higher housing element benefit payments to cover the costs of providing round the clock support.
Lord Freud has announced that this loss of funding will be mitigated by an additional £35m of Discretionary Housing Payment (DHP) funding being made available to councils in 2018-19 and 2019-20. However, this is likely to be well below the amount required to make up for the cut in funding to services and it is estimated that £30m will be required in Wales alone.
Read our Open Letter to Lord Freud and please write to your MP if you share our concern over the changes to the housing element of benefit.

Margaret Whitlam AO (1919-2012), social worker and writer, swam in the 1938 Empire Games before marrying future Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1942. The following year she began work at the Family Welfare Bureau, and in 1948 she graduated with a degree in social work from Sydney University. When Whitlam became the Member for Werriwa in 1952, Margaret assumed many duties in the electorate; from 1964 to 1967 she also served as a hospital social worker. An active member of the Labor Party Women's Conference, just after her husband became Prime Minister in 1972 she entertained Germaine Greer at the Lodge. During his term in office she maintained a high profile as a speaker and columnist, publishing My Day in 1973. A designated National Living Treasure, in her later years she served the International Women's Year Advisory Committee, the Safer Australia Committee, Commonwealth Hostels, the Sydney Dance Company, the Law Council of NSW, the National Council for International Literacy Year, the ACT Council of Social Services, Sydney Teachers' College, the Australian Opera, Musica Viva and the NSW State Library. She wrote of her extensive overseas travels in My Other World (2001). Margaret died shortly before the Whitlams' seventieth wedding anniversary.

Donnie Rose (Rossif Sutherland) went to prison for beating a young man so brutally it left him handicapped for life. Nine years later, Donnie is out. He's a different man with only one place to go: back home to the same violent and racist neighborhood that created him.
At the other end of town, the black community still wants revenge. The instrument of justice will be Ossie Paris (Flex Alexander), a devastatingly talented boxer who challenges Donnie to a match; a match Donnie's family and peers won't let him refuse.
George Carvery (Danny Glover) has waited nine years to avenge his son's fate at the hands of Donnie. When finally they meet face to face, however, both realize they share a similar desire to overcome the past.
As the barely contained racism boils to the surface, George and Donnie form a seemingly unlikely alliance. Their partnership makes them outcasts from both tribes, who will only be satisfied by blood in the ring. The two men get to know each other in the eye of a storm, knowing full well that their futures will be decided with the bell of the first round.

|Game theory applied to Protection against SIS Epidemics in Networks
Defining an optimal protection strategy against viruses, spam propagation or any other kind of contamination process is an important feature for designing new networks and architectures. In this work, we consider decentralized optimal protection strategies when a virus is propagating over a network through a SIS epidemic process. We assume that each node in the network can fully protect itself from infection at a constant cost, or the node can use recovery software, once it is infected. We model our system using a congestion game theoretic framework (due to Rosenthal) and find pure, mixed equilibria, and the Price of Anarchy (PoA) in several network topologies. We finally propose extensions of both the SIS propagation model as well as of the protection strategies and evaluate their performance. This work was done within the CONGAS European project on games in complex systems with the authors Stojan Trajanovski, Yezekael Hayel, Huijuan Wang and Piet Van Mieghem.

|Games and Cyber Security Investment
When investing in cyber security resources, information security managers have to follow effective decision-making strategies. We have investigated a number of methodologies to address this challenge from pure game theory through to a hybrid approach using classical optimisation techniques with game theory. We have constructed tools to support this work and conducted a major case study. The lecture will report on our latest findings from this work.

Did you know evaporation is by far the largest source of energy loss for home or commercial swimming pools? When compared to evaporation, all other losses are small. The reason evaporation has such an impact is that evaporating water requires tremendous amounts of energy.
Evaporation has another effect that figures into your current concerns in this water conservation/drought conditions. In some areas the evaporation rates estimated that the entire volume of the pool, in gallons, is the amount of water evaporating and needing to be replaced in a year's period of time.
The evaporation rate from an outdoor pool varies depending on the temperature of the pool, the temperature and humidity of the air, and the wind speed at the pool surface. The higher the pool temperature and wind speed and the lower the humidity, the greater the evaporation rate.
Since evaporation is the major source of heat loss for all swimming pools, to minimize evaporation one must cover the pool. Covering the pool with a pool cover when it is not in use is the single most effective means of reducing pool heating costs
Pool covers also provide many other benefits beside the tremendous energy savings. They conserve water by reducing the amount of make-up water needed by 30-50%. They can reduce chemical consumption by 35-60%. They also cut cleaning time by keeping dirt and other debris out of the pool.
It is highly recommended that the first step to cutting pool energy loss be the evaluation of the economics of using a swimming pool cover.
The Department of Energy had prepared a chart years ago that showed the cost savings for covering your pool with a pool blanket when not in use. The typical range for pools is 78°- 82° F. Keep in mind, however, that the energy consumption for each degree rise in temperature will cost from 10-30% more in energy costs depending on your location.
In warmer climates the percentage is higher due to the relatively low cost of heating a pool at 78° F. the chart below shows costs of heating pools in different parts of the country to different temperatures. The figures are based on a 1000 square foot outdoor pool heated with an 80% efficient natural gas heater at $.50 per therm. The pool is uncovered for 8 hours per day.
But if you don't want the initial expense and lack of storage space for a pool blanket cover, technology has a liquid solar pool cover that you add to your pool water that will cover your pool surface when it is not in use and just needs replacing on average as once a month. When you look at the entire volume of your swimming pool being lost through the evaporation process in a year, putting a "lid" on your pool surface is a smart investment.

Case: Rigsby v. State Farm Fire and
Casualty Co.
United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals (Louisiana law)
No. 14 – 60160, 794 F.3d 457 (5th Cir. 2015)
In a qui tam case stemming from Hurricane Katrina, the Fifth Circuit upheld a jury verdict against State Farm under the False Claims Act, 31 USC § 3729, et. seq ("FCA"). Essentially, the court found that the jury's verdict in this bellwether case was not only warranted, but seemed to indicate the likelihood of additional meritorious fraud claims against State Farm arising out of its handling of property damage claims in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
After Katrina, Gulf Coast residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed looked to their insurance companies for compensation. Many of these homeowners were covered by at least two policies, often provided by the same insurance company: a flood policy excluding wind damage, and a wind policy excluding flood damage. A private insurance company would frequently administer both policies, but wind policy claims were paid out of the company's own pocket while flood policy claims were paid with government funds.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Shortly thereafter, State Farm set up an office in Gulfport, Mississippi, to address claims involving its policies. According to Rigsby's trial testimony, a meeting was convened soon after Katrina during which State Farm trainers told its adjusters, including the Rigsbys, who worked as subcontractor adjusters for State Farm to assess Katrina claims, that "[w]hat you will see is, you will see water damage. The wind wasn't that strong. You are not going to see a lot of wind damage. If you see substantial damage, it will be from water." Apparently, it was determined that these statements made by a local supervisor were essentially instructions to the contract adjusters to find flood rather than wind damage, as the flood damage would be covered by FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program, while the wind claims would have to be covered under State Farm property policies.
The Rigsbys alleged, and were apparently successful in convincing the jury, that wind damage caused the total loss of the particular property at issue - before the floodwaters arrived. They claimed that State Farm used Xactotal software which estimates the value of a home based on square footage and construction quality, rather than the Xactimate software with which many of us are familiar and which provides a line by line assessment of damages. The Rigsbys claimed that the use of the software for properties that sustained only moderate flood damage resulted in a full payout of the flood policy limits. Further, they claimed they were told to manipulate the information in Xactotal if the initial analysis did not result in a full payout. To add to State Farm's difficulties, the Rigsbys claimed that engineers were used in most of these claims and that the original engineer assigned to the property claim at issue had indicated the damage was caused by wind, rather than flooding. The adjusters claimed, State Farm buried the report and instead obtained a second engineering report which indicated the damage was due to flooding. Moreover, the original engineer was purportedly terminated and his report was not included in the file sent to FEMA.
The Court stated the "Rigsbys are the paradigmatic whistleblowing insiders, and that their knowledge and contributions put the government 'on the trail of fraud that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.'" In the end, while the Court stated that a reasonable jury could have concluded that the home at issue was a total loss before the floodwaters arrived, it seemed to believe much more: stating that there was evidence that adjusters were effectively told to presume flood damage instead of wind damage. The Court also found evidence that State Farm knowingly violated FEMA Directive 5054 which authorized insurers to use an expedited procedure to pay claims when a home had standing water in it for an extended period of time or where the home was washed off its foundation by flood water. These were the claims for which Xactotal could apparently be used. However, for other types of claims, insurers were to follow the normal claim procedures which would have entailed the use of a program such as Xactimate which would have required more time consuming line by line damage estimates. The Court appeared to agree that the evidence showed that State Farm "concealed evidence of wind damage and strong-armed and engineering firm to change its reports." Thus, the jury could reasonably have concluded that State Farm caused a false claim to be presented to FEMA for payment.
The writer notes that the particular statements alleged to have been said to the Rigsbys and other adjusters who would be handling the Katrina claims certainly could just as easily have been read to tell the adjusters what to expect – not what to do. However, the filing away of the initial engineering report with the notation - DO NOT Pay Bill DO NOT Discuss – was certainly of no help to State Farm.
The court upheld the jury's verdict awarding the Rigsbys the maximum possible share under the FCA for relators pursuing claims without the government as a party—30 percent of $758,250 (the court trebled damages on the $250,000 false claim and added a civil penalty of $8,250), or $227,475. The court also awarded the Rigsbys $2,913,228.69 in attorney's fees and expenses.

It is apple season and we have more apples than we can even begin to eat. So, I searched and searched for some award winning apple recipes. However, with my creative personality in the kitchen, sticking to a recipe just does not work. This apple crumb cake is moist, very tasty and has soft juicy apples in every bite. The original recipe can be found here . BUT this recipe will not disappoint and will likely be a reoccurring baked item in our house since our freezer is jammed packed of apple slices ready for use. Enjoy!
2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour (recommend King Arthur)
1 cup brown rice flour (recommend Red Bob's Mill)
2 tbsp wheat germ
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1. 5 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
3 eggs (cage-free, organic)
3/4 cup whole organic milk (recommend Kalona SuperNatural)
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
1.5-2 cups of peeled diced apples (recommend organic Gala and/or McIntosh)
6 oz plain organic yogurt (recommend Kalona SuperNatural)
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
Grease a 13x9 oven safe dish (I recommend glass). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In on medium mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and set aside. In another medium mixing bowl combine all wet ingredients (oil, eggs, milk, vanilla). Pour half the dry mixture in the wet mixture and stir until barely mixed. In the remainder of the dry mixture toss in the peeled and diced apples until they are coated. Combine this dry mixture with apples into the wet mixture. Stir until mixed (note: the dough will be stiff). Pour mixture and spread evenly into pan.
In a small bowl combine the "topping" ingredients and mix well. Drizzle and/or spread this over the top of the batter in the pan. Put pan in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake (note: if it comes out almost clean, that is fine, too). Set on a cooling rack for 15-20 minutes and serve.

text: (Bloomberg) -- Canadian assets may finally begin to feel some love..A new trade deal between U.S., Mexico andCanada, news that a group led by Royal Dutch Shell Plc are set to move ahead with a liquefied natural gas project on the country's west coast, and a takeover offer for a Canadian energy company are giving the country's stock market and currency the best outlook they've had in months.."This is very upbeat news, there was a lot of Nafta uncertainty weighing on economy, stocks, with equities underperforming," Michael Gregory, deputy chief economist at Bank of Montreal, said in a phone interview. Economic activity will probably pick up and the Bank of Canada is likely to tighten more than it otherwise would have, Gregory said..The flurry of developments on trade and energy lift an overhang that's held back business investment and growth in the world's 11th biggest economy. The Canadian dollar appreciated 0.7 percent to C$1.2815 at 10:17 a.m. in Toronto to the strongest level in more than four months while S&P/TSX Composite Index advanced 0.4 percent in following a surge in U.S. stocks..The new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, covering a region that trades more than $1 trillion annually, gives the U.S. improved access to Canada's dairy market, stronger intellectual property provisions, and includes tighter rules of origin for auto production, according to two senior Trump administration officials who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity..Auto company suppliers were among the biggest gainers on the Canadian stock index with Martinrea International Inc. up as much as 18 percent, Linamar Corp. advancing 13 percent and Magna International Inc. jumping 10 percent in early trading..Read More: Cars, Cows and a Crisis Averted: Highlights of a New Nafta Deal."The Canadian market has been in the bottom of the league tables all year, kind of dismal and in particular the heavy hitters like the banks and the metals," David Baskin, president of Toronto-based Baskin Wealth Management, which oversees C$1.2 billion ($940 million), said by phone. "I think a lot of that has to do with uncertainty about trade and the Canadian economy.".The country's benchmark stock index is down slightly this year despite strong global growth, making it the 11th worst performer among developed markets and trailing the 9 percent gain in the S&P 500. The loonie has risen in recent months but is down 2.4 percent in the past 12 months against its U.S. counterpart..Mark McCormick, North American head of FX strategy at Toronto-Dominion Bank, said the important thing to consider is how much of the new trade agreement has been priced in."It also depends on whether it moves the needle on Bank of Canada pricing next year. Do we get another hike for instance?".Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz had already been expected to boost the central bank's key lending rate by a quarter point to 1.75 percent at the next meeting on Oct. 24. Beyond that, the trade deal also raises the possibility the economic could handle more than the two rate increases that had been expected next year, according to economists at some of the country's largest banks.."The central bank, which had been concerned about exports and investment amidst rising trade barriers, can now more forcefully address mounting inflation pressures," Krishen Rangasamy, senior economist at National Bank Financial in Montreal, said in a research note..On the oil front, Husky Energy Inc. made a C$3.3 billion hostile bid for MEG Energy Corp., setting up a battle between the Canadian oil company linked to Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing's family and Chinese giant Cnooc Ltd., a major investor in the targeted oil-sands producer.."A global energy company has said oilsands assets are worth a lot -- that's a positive development for Canada," Ian de Verteuil, head of portfolio strategy at CIBC Capital Markets, said in a telephone interview. "There's three positive things for Canada.".To contact the reporters on this story: Paula Sambo in Sao Paulo at email@example.com;Doug Alexander in Toronto at email@example.com contact the editors responsible for this story: Jacqueline Thorpe at email@example.com, Steven Frank.©2018 Bloomberg L.P.

A short update today, as i am heading off to Whitby with the missus for her birthday treat. For anyone that is planning on going to whitby, there is one place you simply have to stay in, if you can... the Bats and Broomsticks B&B. The blog won't get an update tomorrow or thursday i am afraid, but look for a monster update on friday!
Right... on with the news i have got early on a tuesday morning.
Who wouldnt want this castle back? The Romainian government has now handed back ownership of Bran - Dracula's castle back to its rightful owner. Full story here.
Newsarama.com has a piece on "The Complete Dracula", the upcoming graphic novel here.
I'm not sure how to describe this. Perhaps this is how Dracula would address the world if he decided to go public in this P.C age?
The Libraryjournal.com has a brief review of "Fangland" by John Marks here
Warmingglow blog has a little rant on "The Vampire Diaries" being turned into a series for CW. I can see his point...certainly hope these vampires are allowed to bite and dont sparkle...not naming any recent films of course.
Proudbookworm blog hasa nice piece by D.B Reynolds, author of the "Vampires in America" series here.

It is not uncommon to find Ed, the owner of Trinity, speaking to customers over the phone, when temperatures are high and a customer is stranded without air conditioning for a day or two. When we are at our busiest he often asks what is going on with your unit and, in some circumstances, can even get you cooling until one of our technicians can visit your home.
Below is a list of some of the problems your unit encounters so you can know what may be wrong with your unit next time!
Unlike most furnaces, air conditioners are complex mechanical systems that depend on a wide variety of conditions to work correctly. They are sized to meet a certain "load" on the house. They are designed to have certain amount of refrigerant, known as the "charge". They are designed to have a certain amount of air flow across the coils. When any of these things changes, the system will have problems.
If you produce more heat indoors either from having more people or appliances or because of changes in the house, the air conditioning may not be able to keep up.
If the refrigerant charge on the system leaks out, it lowers the capacity of the system. You will simply get less cooling and system will not be able to keep up when the load gets high.
If airflow across the outdoor (condenser) coil is reduced, the ability to reject heat outdoors is reduced and the again the capacity of the system may go down, especially at higher outdoor temperatures.
In dry climates such as the Southwest United States, the same issues happen with regard to the indoor (evaporator) coil: higher airflow helps, lower airflow hurts. In humid climates, the situation is more complex. At higher airflows, there will be less dehumidification, leading to high indoor humidities. If the airflow gets too low, however, the evaporator coil may freeze. This makes performance worse and can damage the compressor until it fails - leaving you with an expensive repair bill and no cooling!
This is why keeping up a maintenance plan is so important! The cleaner your unit and coils are, the more efficient your unit can run!

However, you can relax, as we have gathered all of our top tips for a brilliant wedding speech for ALL members of the bridal party from the father of the bride, to the best man, maid of honour, mother of the bride and of course the bride and groom themselves!
Best Man
Start as You Mean to Go On
Have a killer opening line; grab everyone's attention straight away. "Hi I'm (name) and it's time for me to do my speech I scribbled down about an hour before the ceremony had started."
What to Include
You are a best man, not a stand up comedian, so this should be a warm, inclusive and funny look at the groom. Get information or favourite stories about the groom from other friends. This helps you present more than one side to him. Then, for bonus points, link that story into a similar story about the couple that reinforces why they're a great fit.
Don't Forget to Toast
It's so easy to get caught up in the embarrassing stories, so don't forget it's a toast to the couple. You should compliment the bride and bridesmaids, then cheers to their marriage and love, the best toasts are short and sweet.
Maid of Honour/Bridesmaids
Ditch Tradition
Use the toast as your moment to bring the bride to life. So use stories to back up exactly how the bride embodies all of these qualities. Start with the bride and end with the couple. Whether you've always known the bride and groom as a couple or have known the bride or groom individually for years, make sure your words celebrate them as the newly married couple they are.
Make it Entertaining
Tease the guests with memorable moments of the newlyweds that perhaps only you were privy too, from the early days. First date reactions, the first time you met the groom, embarrassing moments in the early days, or perhaps any 'bridezilla' stories.
Add your own flare
Why not try visual aids, by passing around pictures or creating a slideshow. This is where you can add some creative flair.
Father of the Bride
The Intro
You need to introduce yourself, tell them your name and maybe crack a small joke to make yourself feel relaxed. Make a formal welcome to everyone, and thank them for coming. Try to mention, in particular, the bride's mother and the groom's parents too. Acknowledging both sides is not only good etiquette; it will avoid isolating the audience.
Your Daughter
She's made you pay for it, and now's your chance to get a little of your own back on her! Recall a funny anecdote from her childhood, or simply tell her how proud you are of the woman she's become. Formally welcome the groom to your family, in any way you feel appropriate. You can mention how you felt about him when you first met him, or a funny/meaningful moment that springs to mind.
Parting Wisdom
It's always charming for a Father to impart wisdom for his daughter's marriage; this can be a do/don'ts guide for marital bliss.
Mother of the Bride
The Intro
Get out the old photos and ask yourself lots of questions. What did she love doing as a child? How did she make you laugh? Who was her first teenage crush; it's always good to compare the groom.
Stuck for what to say
Ask your daughter's friends for stories from school, college or work, or your other children for any memorable stories, to get good, mixed content. Have a quick chat with the groom and best man to ensure there is no overlap. Try to have a think about how you and your new son-in-law have bonded. What do you like about the groom? Share some of those memories you have together.
Deeply Departed
If someone is missing from the big day, it would be nice to respectfully acknowledge them in this way, even just to say that they're missed.
Brownie Points
Seeing as your speech is probably following the father of the bride, start of your speech by responding to what he said in his – even if that was taking the 'mick' out of you a little bit. Acknowledging the bride's family will earn you brownie points with the in-laws.
The Groomsmen
Now, for your right hand men! Try not to go all out on the private jokes, the embarrassing or 'You had to be there' moments from the stag do. Try stories where you look like the hero or true gentlemen.
Look Your Bride in the Eye
To recover from any embarrassment from previous speeches, why not try this simple trick. Turn from your guests, to your bride, pause, and then look her dead in the eye, addressing her by her name. This is your moment to personally acknowledge your now wife, and simply tell her how much you love her.
Start With Thank You
Even if your husband and the best man have already expressed their thanks to the guests and the wedding party, it doesn't hurt to add your personal thanks as well.
Share your Love
You could talk about how you met, when you realised that your other half was the one, or when you got engaged. You could also tell a funny story from the engagement party or the run up to the wedding.
You can talk a little about your thoughts and feelings on love, marriage, or being a wife, and there are plenty of funny poems or readings about partners, and marriage that you can turn to if you can't find the words yourself.
End with a Toast
As you will probably be the last speech you will have to wait and see who has been toasted already. It's a good idea to toast your new partner, but if this has already been done you can just raise a general toast to all of your guests and the people that have helped out with the wedding.

Charles Vess has never won nor been nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist. Admitedly, outside of comics his illustration portfolio is not that large compared to some. However, this year it includes the gorgeous children's book, Blueberry Girl, written by Neil Gaiman, and next year will be added another book by Gaiman, Instructions. You can see illustrations in progress for Instructions on Vess's blog. The illustrations of both will be "whimsical, gentle and beautiful" (as April Gutierrez described Vess' artwork for Blueberry Girl here).
Blueberry Girl is really only made into fantasy through the illustrations by Vess, whereas Illustrations, with its giants, witches, and dragons, is undoubtably so. I will certainly be keeping Vess in mind as I consider the possible candidates in the next couple of years.
(I had this come to the forefront of my thoughts today as I have just been expanding the still unfinished SF Artists page for Vess.)
