With summer now in full swing, it's time for more blockbusters to start rolling in though not as many as the loaded month of May. Since Avengers: Endgame appears to be slowing down, June has a few possible candidates to rest at the top of the box office for at least a little while (Dark Phoenix, Men In Black International, The Secret Life of Pets 2). The month also features several Sundance film releases that may also attract some interest (I Am Mother, Late Night, The Tomorrow Man). Welcome to our June 2019 movie preview, where we let you know about the noteworthy releases of the month and follow them up with 5 top picks. Hope to see you at the movies!

Investments in regenerative food systems result in a cycle of beneficial outcomes that strengthen and regenerate ecological health, as well as the wealth and resources of all stakeholders, including producers, food processors, retailers, consumers and investors.
The Regenerative Food Systems Investment (RFSI) Forum is a first of its kind event that brings together investors and critical stakeholders to increase capital investment in this space. Our goal is to facilitate education about investment in regenerative agriculture and food, as well as build relationships and networks that will further the development of this investment opportunity and lead to increased deal activity.
Why you should attend:
- Understand what makes investments in organic and regenerative agriculture and food different from other investments
- Gain actionable market insight and learn what's on the horizon for investment in the space
- Identify viable opportunities for allocation of capital now
- Gain tools for successful deployment of capital from those already making these investments
- Make crucial connections to other actors in the space who can help advance your goals
Who should attend:
- Investors
- Fund managers
- Foundations
- Food companies and restaurants seeking to build or expand their organic or regenerative supply chain
- Companies operating along the organic or regenerative food supply chain
- Financial advisors and consultants
- Other stakeholders seeking to advance investment in organic and regenerative food systems
Sign up for event updates
About RFSI Forum producers:
The RFSI Forum team brings more than two decades of combined experience executing high-quality agricultural and investing events and media coverage.
After more than a decade covering the agricultural investment sector and an additional five years working with regenerative farmers and the organic supply chain, it became clear that there is a tremendous opportunity to bring these two worlds together in an impactful way. Capital, from many diverse sources, is critical to the expansion of a regenerative food system, and the climate, ecological and social benefits that come with it.
With this in mind, we set out to create the RFSI Forum. Our goal is to work across diverse groups of funders and stakeholders to mobilize more capital for organic and regenerative food and agriculture projects. We also aim to perpetuate the expansion of information, data and tools to communicate the financial and ecological benefits of investments in a regenerative food system.
We hope you will join us in growing this crucial community.

Today's been a rough day.
I needed to get into town to pick up the iron supplements my gastroenterologist prescribed last week. I thought I was feeling well enough to do it. Because it's summer, the bus that goes past my street only runs every 2 hours, so I thought I'd try riding my bike into town. It's only two miles, mostly flat, so I didn't think it would be a big deal.
Yeah, I was wrong.
By halfway there, I felt like I might die right there on the road, but it was a busy street with nowhere safe to pull off and rest, so I made myself keep going. Then, as I was riding into the center of downtown, I started to have an asthma attack. My leg muscles just quit working, and my bike and I fell over in the middle of an intersection. It took me more than a minute just to be able to get up, and somebody had to help me get my bike up and onto the sidewalk. Luckily I was wearing pretty thick jeans, so I didn't tear up my leg except for part of my ankle, but my knee and the side of my leg are pretty bruised up.
I feel so useless. A year and a half ago, I was walking/running around 5 miles a day, and I was doing intense martial arts training three nights a week. I was strong and in good shape, and I knew my body could do pretty much whatever I wanted it to. I had the arthritis and pain in my lower back and hip to deal with, but it didn't limit me much. Now I can barely do anything more demanding than sitting in bed. Occasionally I can walk a little, but I have to use a cane, and it takes me days to recover afterward.
Right now, I feel like I can't live like this anymore. I feel completely cut off from everything I need, and I feel like I'm completely alone in dealing with this. I mean, people try to be kind and helpful, but it usually doesn't go beyond holding doors open for me and such. Apparently I need a personal chauffeur so that I can do normal things like go to the pharmacy and buy groceries.
And there's not even anyone I can talk to about all of this. I don't have friends anymore, not in real life. I have friendly acquaintances on the campaigns, but we interact almost entirely around campaign stuff, not personal issues. And I don't think I'd tell them how hard things are anyway because I want them to see me as competent and capable, not crippled and deserving of pity. But it's so, so lonely and painful. I feel like crying, but I'm fighting it because I think it would just make me feel worse.

I, Solitude and The Jog
Everyone loves water. But why do I feel nobody loves water as intensely, as immensely as I do? Why do I feel I have a monopoly over this love?
It has been raining adequately this season. It has been like this for the last few years. Thank you almighty for your mercy.
The Sharavati has overflowed after 12 years. The jog falls are no longer four different falls. They have united to become one water fall. Vast, enormous, colossal and gigantic. The pictures being shown everywhere are breathtaking. I cannot resist my urge to abandon this mundane life and seek refuge in the shadows of nature.
On the 11th of August, I packed my bag and traveled to Jog. The journey was 10 hours long, but I was too excited to feel tired. The journey after Shimoga was a pleasure. Truly, Malnad is beautiful. The road is flanked on both sides by lush green fields. You also find mountains at a distance with tall windmills on them. There are coconut farms, villages, open spaces and water streams. The air is so pure. How true it is that the destination is not very important, but the journey is!
I reached Jog at 5 PM. I could not wait to see the falls.
When I was face to face with the falls, there was a stretch of thick mist that made it impossible to see anything clearly. There were a thousand people waiting to get a glimpse of the falls. There was a slight breeze that carried the mist away with it and the waterfall revealed itself in heavenly splendour. Everyone cheered and clapped in joy………….
And then the mist covered it again and the wait began. Beauty was playing hide and seek.
It was getting dark already. I settled for the night in the youth hostel close by. The next day was going to be one of the most memorable days of my life. You will know what I mean when you see the pictures………..or may be if you visit the place yourself.
It was a Sunday. There were so many people! I stood before the falls for sometime trying to behold the view that was so elusive. The mist refused to melt in spite of the sun. But there seemed to be no conflict. All elements of nature were in perfect harmony. I found myself asking "How?!!"
It was time to begin sight seeing.
The Sharavati valley close by was glorious. The river, that was plunging aggressively from a thousand feet, just a few miles ago, now flowed calmly between the two hills. That's what you call dangerous innocence.
I saw the power plant that brings light to my home! It was situated at the base of one of the hills.
After this, I was taken to a spot that is one of the most mind blowing places I have ever seen in my life. This was the place, the height from where the river falls fearlessly to an abyss thousand feet below.
This place is replete with rocks that look directly down at the depths below. They form the edges of a vast precipice. They entice you. You know no fear, you move to the edges to see below. The view is so awesome that you cannot resist. You move further to the edge. But you move an inch in the wrong direction, and there is no salvage.
From this place, you get to see a confluence of the three falls: The Raja, the Roarer and the Rocket. On its way down, the water collides with rocks that surface the valley. Each drop upon touching the rock is transformed as if by magic into a cloud of mist. If you are lucky you may see a rainbow, not across the sky but in the valley below. I have captured one.
I was positioned precariously, looking below at the same picture again and again, not being able to get enough of it.
At this moment, my own world seemed so insignificant. My life, my career, my desires, my dreams, my future. Fie upon my narcissism! How can I love myself so immensely when there is so much nature, so much beauty in this world to be savoured? What a waste of time! What a waste of life it is to be consumed in mundane worries!
I would love to jump if only I could fall for ever. For it is not the fall that hurts but the sudden stop.
After spending close to 3 hours, I retuned. By this time, I had found a group of friends.
I had explored the heights. It was now time to descend to the depths. The steps that lead you down are slippery, sometimes steep. As we went down it began raining. This was not rain. This was the effect of the fall of the river. All the water that was transformed by the rocks to splinters and scattered across the space was now descending again. Gravity never seems to fail us.
It started raining in sheets. We were soaked. The winds blew with so much force that the raindrops felt like a hundred needles poking us. But we were determined to reach the bottom. In fact we were enjoying the adventure. The rain was blinding by this time. We could not see the steps below nor each other. We were groping our way down. We reached the river at last, waded through the waters, and settled on a rock.
No other single day in my life has been as fulfilling as satisfying as this day.
It was worth enduring all the struggle that has gone into twenty years of this existence just to spend one day in Jog.
No matter where I go, what I do, I will return to this place…………
May it rain some more……
May it rain like this every year……..
Check out the link The Jog to see more pictures in their original size..........

text: I know things are always changing so this is why I ask. I want to change the engine size on the log book of my Mk1 Escort as I've changed it to a 2 litre. I had heard that you have to supply a letter on headed paper from a garage confirming the change and engine number, is this still the case? I also heard that sometimes someone will come round to check over the car and take a number of photos of it. The car's been on the road for the last 6 months, all insured and historically taxed etc, but I'm only now getting round to changing the log book. Can anyone foresee any problems? Cheers.

Farmapram 2 mg mexican xanax
Farmapram 2 mg mexican xanax is an anxiolytic drug, also a derivative of triazolo-benzodiazepine. This medication has anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic and also anticonvulsant, central muscle relaxant effect. So the mechanism of action is to enhance the inhibitory effect of endogenous GABA in the CNS by increasing the sensitivity of the GABA-receptor mediator as a result of stimulation of benzodiazepine receptors located in the allosteric center of postsynaptic GABA-receptor activating ascending reticular formation of brain stem neurons and the lateral horns of the spinal cord; reduces the excitability of the subcortical brain structures (the limbic system, thalamus, hypothalamus), inhibits the polysynaptic spinal reflexes.
After oral administration Farmapram is rapidly and also completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax plasma levels achieved within 1-2 hours. Binding to plasma proteins is 80%. This drud metabolized in the liver. T1/2 is an average of 12-15 hours. Farmapram and its metabolites are mainly excreted by kidneys.

caracteristicas tecnicas em ingles
The Korg Pa1000 is a professional arranger keyboard with 61-key, semi-weighted keyboard, 128-voice polyphony, 1,750 preset sounds, 107 drum kits, 430 backing styles, Kaoss FX pad, vocal harmonizer, guitar effects, and dual MP3 recorder/player
Give a song to 20 producers and you'll hear 21 different ways it can be done, and that's where the Korg Pa1000 comes in. Sitting at the pinnacle of the Pa range of high-performance arranger keyboards, the Pa1000 ups the ante with an increased sound library that not only sounds realistic in and of itself, it also features Korg's Defined Nuance Control, for even greater expressive control and realism. The Pa1000 has a 600MB user sound library with 1,152 user locations, 1,750 preset sounds, 107 drums kits, and over 430 backing styles spanning nearly every genre. Of course, sounds alone do not an arranger make, which is why the Pa1000 is packed with performance features, including Kaoss touchpad effects, dual MP3 player and recorder, and dual crossfade sequencer.
The 61-key keyboard offers a semi-weighted action, feels just right, features naturally responsive key-on/key-off velocity sensitivity and aftertouch, and is designed for musicians of all levels.
The latest addition to the Pa1000 is a Kaoss FX touchpad, that gives you the ability to mangle sounds at the swipe of a finger. With Kaoss, you can morph between Variations and Drum Kit types, mix between accompaniment Sounds, and reshape ongoing rhythms, to the most radical note-crunching effects, such as the accelerating stutter effect, used by DJs, as well as tape delay and arpeggios. With the Kaoss pad you can add "liquid mixing" to any Style or MIDI Song with the aid of easy-to-use computer-assisted composition features.
The Pa1000 combines a slim profile and professional look with a sound larger than life. It features two 33-watt amplifiers that drive 4 loudspeakers in a bass-reflex enclosure, which generates a rich, full-bodied sound. The main panel has been optimized to ensure that all controls are ergonomically positioned and intuitively located to make every performance feel smooth and natural. Big, bright, and bold, the new capacitive TouchView display hosts a redesigned graphical interface that is easier than ever to read, even under the most demanding lighting environments.
The Pa1000's advanced EDS-X (Enhanced Definition Synthesis-eXpanded) sound engine runs the gamut of sounds, including classic and contemporary keyboards, acoustic instruments, band and orchestral instruments, electronica instruments, and electric pianos from the acclaimed KORG SV-1 Stage Piano.
All sounds have been meticulously captured via state-of-the-art technologies that reproduce the finest detail and nuance. For example, the Pa700 features two multi-layer stereo grand piano presets with realistic sonic components, including damper and body resonance.
Continuing in the vein of realistic sonic components, the Pa700 also has a digital drawbar organ that incorporates key on/off noises, leakage, and Rotary Speaker emulation. In addition, the Pa700 has been equipped with new wind instruments, strings, basses—even acoustic and electric guitars.
With up to 256MB of compressed PCM user memory, custom sounds can be stored and recalled easily. General MIDI (GM) sound bank has been improved for better compatibility with GM files. The Pa700 can also load/import KORG, WAV, AIFF, SoundFont formats and export in WAV or AIFF. Sounds can be fully edited, and for incredible richness, can use up to 24 oscillators for each note.
Under the hood, the Pa000 sound engine delivers over 430 Styles, each a fully-realized musical background for a particular musical style. The Pa1000 offers access to a vast and varied range of musical genres. Each Style features four Fill-Ins with break patterns, one for each variation. Using the new Auto Fill function they can be automatically recalled as you move between the four variations. The Pa1000 has 1,152 locations for you to save your new Styles and settings. In addition, each Style can be enhanced by using the four Pads. Each Pad can add a one-time or repeating riff, a percussion part, an accent sound, or even a sound effect.
The Pa1000 features a Standard MIDI File-to-Style converter that gives you immediate access to styles of the latest songs. Just get a new Standard MIDI File, load it into the Pa700 and the converter will quickly turn it into a full Korg style that also creates a Chord Sequence from the song's chords.
Known for their studio-quality effects, the Pa1000 includes the best of the Korg effects library. For accompaniment tracks, two Insert and two Master effects can be used, while real-time keyboard tracks can use one Insert and two Master effects. All totaled, 148 effect types are available, including reverbs, delays, vintage stomp box simulations, amp and cabinet simulators and more.
Korg's long-time partnership the TC-Helicon, the world leader in vocal harmonies, brings another performance dimension to the Pa1000. With new features and algorithms, the TC-Helicon Voice Processor ensures your vocals have the highest possible sound quality. Up to 3 realistic harmony voices can be generated by the lead voice, and can be controlled by the keyboard or MIDI events. There are also five effects blocks available, including EQ, Compressor, Gate, and two FX.
Not just vocal mic input, a guitarist who wants to perform with keyboard backing tracks can plug a guitar into the Pa1000's dedicated rear-panel Guitar FX input. This input lets you add pedal and studio effects to a guitar as you perform. These effects are some of the best guitar effects from the Korg collection, providing the sound of all-tube amplifiers, realistic distortion, chorus, delay pedals, and high-quality studio reverbs.
Specifically for Karaoke performance, a built-in player supports the MP3+G (also known as MP3+Graphics) format for MP3 files in addition to the most popular lyrics formats. This feature allows backing sequences to play with enriched lyrics and graphics that can be displayed simultaneously on the on-board TFT display as well as an external monitor.
And since some performances are pure magic, the Pa1000 can record your entire performance for posterity (or future blackmail). You can run a song, play the keyboard, sing along and everything will be recorded in MP3 format and stored on an external USB device or in the internal memory.
Particularly useful for live use, the Pa1000 has a fully programmable and searchable SongBook. It can use styles, MIDI files, or MP3s and immediately recall settings such as song title, genre, artist, tempo, volumes, sounds, muted tracks, FX settings, easy edit, 4 Keyboard Sets, TC Helicon vocal presets, master transpose, and more. The SongBook includes also an updated Set List function, with a convenient panel-button association for fast recall, to make life easier during live gigs.
With the SongBook Editor you can easily view, create, and edit your Korg Pa-Series SongBook entries and Set Lists using a Windows-based computer. It can also be synchronized with iOS and Android tablets to become your handy external digital music sheet reader (third-party software required).
Along with standard 5-pin connectors, MIDI connection can also be done via USB host ports (in addition to USB Device and the MIDI ports). This allows for easy connection of controllers, such as digital pianos like the Korg Havian 30, or the Korg nano and micro series, with no need for special adapters.

Yesterday's latest 3 from 4 Yankee return delivered over 10 times stakes, the elusive full house is surely due soon…
The Daily Yankee
NAP OF THE DAY: Raising Sand, (1535 Ascot), 1pt win, 9/1 generally available
We collected each way on this fella in the Hunt Cup here. He has continued to run into minor placings including a creditable 8th when"winning" his side of the race in last weekend's Cambridgeshire. That was under Nicola Currie, and her invaluable 3lb claim is utilised again here. He'll need a strong pace at this shorter trip, but should finish as well as any, and looks worth a good flutter for a yard that does well here.
Spring Loaded, (1350 Ascot), 7/2: This is a trapping race. Leading market contenders Muthmir and Mr Lupton carry penalties and neither have fully impressed on this track. Spring Loaded should beat them on ratings. He has run well here recently and has continued in top form under big handicap weights lately. He should enjoy the unseasonably sound surface.
Laugh A Minute, (1500 Ascot), 9/2: We're not buying the full rehabilitation of ex star Limato and he looks a vulnerably short favourite. One of the few 3yos here, Laugh A Minute, has an inconsistent profile, but there have been a few occasions when he has looked very good. A recent gelding operation may have reduced the temperamental nature and a good run in France last time augurs well.
Open Wide, (1645 Ascot), 12/1: He is saddled with top weight here but has been running like an in form horse of late. Forget an unlucky run in the Portland last time and on his previous run here he should have the beating of Mountain Peak. Loves to travel smoothly off a strong pace, and jockey Robert Winston is an ideal booking to conjure up a flashing late run.

Asia's First Vertical Forest In China With 3000 Plants That Will Produce 60 Kg Oxygen Every Day
China To Get Asia's First Vertical Forest
Imagine breathing oxygen that would be 3,000 times purer than what we inhale today. Well, that dream would soon come into existence in China. Asia's first vertical forest, the project named 'Nanjing Towers' with two living towers that are already under construction in Nanjing, China. The Nanjing Towers would bring over 3,000 plants which comprise of 1,000 trees and nearly 2,500 cascading shrubs and plants from 23 different local species that would cover a 6000-square-metre area. Estimated that the new Nanjing Towers would produce 60 kg oxygen every single day.
The towers would be designed by an Italian architect, Stefano Boeri who has completed his greenery-filled "Bosco Verticale" residential towers in Milan, in Italy in 2014. Stefano Boeri has now announced that a similar design would be developed on the other side of the world, in China. The state-owned National Investment Group Co.Ltd, Nanjing Yang Zi is promoting the "Nanjing Vertical Forest, " and it would be the first of its kind in Asia.
The two towers in China would be built in the highly populated Pukou District of the city and would be 656 feet and 354 feet tall. Stefano Boeri's proposal would see the construction of two towers characterized by interchanging of green tanks and balconies, similar to the prototype established in Milan that would help to regenerate the local biodiversity.

The taller of the two towers would rise with 200 meters in height and would be crowned at the top by a 'green lantern.' The tower would host offices from 8th to 35 floors and would include a museum, a green architecture school along with a private rooftop club. Meanwhile, the second tower would house a Hyatt hotel with 247 rooms of different sizes along with a rooftop swimming pool and an array of commercial, recreational, and educational facilities.
The Nanjing Green Towers, which were slated for completion in 2018 and would offer a fantastic view from balconies along with setting up a high benchmark for enriching the biodiversity. When completed, the towers would rise 107m and 199m above Nanjing's Pukou district. The effort is a great symbol of giving something back to the environment from China, which features among the world's most polluted countries and now would get a breath of fresh air. The project was expected to lessen the impact of pollution in the city by absorbing 25 tons of CO2 in a year and providing 60kg of oxygen a day. Nanjing was one of the China's cities that suffers from air pollution.
The build is the third prototype, following the vertical forests that have been already created in Milan and Lausanne. The Milan towers were initiated in November 2014 in the Porto Nuova Isola area as part of a large-scale renovation project led by Hines Italia. The design consists of two towers which receive 480 large and medium trees, 300 small trees, 11,000 perennial and covering plants along with 5000 shrubs. A similar vertical forest with 36 stories has been planned for Lausanne, Switzerland by the same architect.

The design creates an exceptional environment inhabited by birds and insects, promoting the natural re-population of flora and fauna in a city space. Boeri's website mentioned that the two green towers in China would be Asia's first vertical forest and third in the world next to those in Milan city in Italy, and Lausanne in Switzerland.
In addition to the Nanjing Green Towers, Stefano Boeri said that he was also working on many urban forestation projects in other Chinese cities like Liuzhou, Shijiazhuang, Guizhou, Chongqing, and Shanghai. China has declared a "war on pollution" in 2014, but the government still faces some significant difficulties after decades of breakneck economic growth, much of it based on the coal-burning power sector and other heavy industry.
The central government has also promised to make greater use of police and law courts to prosecute companies and local officials responsible for surpassing emissions limits. In the world where high-rise buildings were reaching for the skies, little effort in making them eco-friendly could go a long, long way.

Creativity produces insanity.
Even as I'm publishing this, I hear the song "Comfortably Numb" hit my playlist and I search for a reason for the coincidence.
Then I fear what this suggests of me that isn't, so I search for a way to convey what that song wouldn't.
No, don't be concerned. I am not defeated. No don't be concerned. I am not sad. In fact, I am comfortable and I am submissive in tandem. Please don't change upon learning this of me, whatever "this" may be.
Just be at peace.
Rationalization maintains sanity.

I was looking through some old stuff the other day and discovered that the tenth anniversary of my first run was coming up. Whoa! Has it been ten years already? I remember that night clearly: a couple climbing friends got together and took a run along the Bobolink (aka South Boulder Creek) trail on a weeknight in January figuring it would be a good way to keep in shape for some upcoming mountaineering ventures. One thing lead to another and here we are…
It was certainly transformative. For one thing, I discovered that I'm a far better runner than climber. I say that I gave up climbing (mostly) for that reason and that I got scared and worried about leaving my kids fatherless. Maybe that's true, but really I got seduced by the lower logistical hassle of running compared to almost anything else; grab your shoes and you're out the door. Maybe a couple energy gels and some water. More often than not, flashlight, gloves, hat, tights, and traction. Still, the maximum prep time for most of my running adventures is an hour or so the night before.
It's been a great decade. Most of my sports (caving, backpacking, cycling) have enjoyed a couple years of obsession before yielding to a new hobby, but not running. I've dabbled with other things (ice climbing, backcountry skiing, road biking) here and there and some running seasons have been bigger than others, but running has been the constant in my life since 2006. It's my recreation, my workout, my social life, and, increasingly, my therapy.
I'm a geek, so of course I track all this stuff obsessively (that's half the fun, really). Over ten years, I've recorded 1047 runs covering a total of 8153.6 miles and taking 1855 hours (77 consecutive days). Plus or minus quite a bit, of course. Some of the data is a bit scanty for the early years. I only started tracking vertical gain during the GPS era (2013 onward). More important than the miles or hours or other stats I track obsessively, there have been some amazing and wondrous times, carefree exploration ("I wonder where that trail goes?"), great camaraderie over both long and short terms, sublime beauty in a huge range of situations, horrifying despair in a thankfully-few situations, and a greater emotional range than I ever imagined could exist. If finding a way to explore my world, inside and out, was the goal of all this, well then mission accomplished! What happens next?
Anyway, the 10th anniversary (plus one day) was celebrated with some key figures from my early and current running days, during a casual night-time (natch) hike up and down Boulder's Mt. Sanitas. Here is to another decade!

Shonda Schilling would like you to know that she and hubby Curt are not broke, they are not throwing a massive estate sale tomorrow because they need the money, and she's not the least bit happy with all the press suggesting otherwise.
"We are not doing this because we have lost everything and need the money," Mrs. 38 wrote in a post on her Facebook page. "Media, talk shows, newspapers you have once again tried to humiliate my husband and my family … That anyone would want to see someone fall so badly that they would assume and write the headlines that were written are pathetic."
As we told you earlier this week, the Schillings have moved out of their secluded 8,000-square-foot estate in Medfield and downsized to a smaller home. So they are selling furniture, household items, decorations, memorabilia, clothing and tchotchkes they collected over the years that don't fit in their new home.
"Starting five years ago I really wanted to move. Having a child on the autism spectrum (son Grant), I really wanted him to be in a neighborhood so he could model behaviors of kids his age," explained Shonda, who wrote a book about the family's struggles with Grant's diagnosis and speaks frequently on autism in national forums.
"My youngest, I wanted to experience being able to ride his bike to his friend's house. … So we made the plunge, downsized and moved to a neighborhood."
The family is still trying to sell the Medfield estate they bought from former Patriots QB Drew Bledsoe for $4.5 million back in 2004. It's currently on the market for just under $3 million. Shonda said the whole family is happy in their new digs, and Curt — although he had a tough year with the bankruptcy of his 38 Studios and being sued by the state of Rhode Island, which guaranteed the loans to the company — is also just fine.
"My husband, lord knows how, made it through this unbelievable, emotional, heart-breaking year to find out he is much stronger then he could have ever imagined," she wrote. "He realized how much he loves being a coach in fast-pitch softball and being around for all the kids' events … Even though you made me sad with all your comments this week YOU WILL NOT BREAK THIS FAMILY."
The Schilling's Medfield estate sale is open to the public tomorrow, but bargain hunters need to show up at 7 Woodridge Road at 7:30 a.m. to get a number to reserve their place in line. And do tell 'em the Track sent you!

Biodiversity Conservation:
Situated in southern Malawi, ancient baobabs and lofty borassus palms preside over Liwonde's small yet vibrant landscape of dense woodlands, lagoons and fertile floodplains. While having sustained high levels of poaching over the past few decades, this still productive ecosystem, sustaining over 400 species of birds, the largest elephant population in the country and a flourishing population of plains game mammals, is poised for the reintroduction of large predators. The restoration of key species and historic levels of biodiversity is re-establishing Liwonde as one of the country's iconic wilderness areas.
500 Elephants on the move in Malawi
When African Parks assumed management of Liwonde National Park in August 2015, plans were immediately made to prepare for one of the largest elephant translocations in human history. This involved moving 500 elephants from Liwonde and Majete over two years to help reduce pressure on Liwonde and to repopulate Nkhotakota. Between 4th of July and 9th August 2016, African Parks successfully translocated 261 elephants from Liwonde, along with 615 head of game animals
including buffalo, waterbuck, impala and warthog to Nkhotakota. Liwonde also received 25 eland and 23 zebras from Majete to help grow a viable local population, and moved one male black rhino to Majete to increase genetic diversity there. The first half of the elephant translocation was extremely successful in relieving pressure on natural vegetation and reducing human-wildlife conflict in Liwonde, while also beginning the process of restoring Nkhotakota. Another 100 elephants will be translocated from Liwonde to Nkhotakota in 2017.
Wildlife Census
Liwonde boasts revealed robust populations of numerous species including 1,086 buffalo, 1,887 hippos, 578 elephants, 4,477 waterbuck, 515 sable and 2,107 impala, 76 ground hornbills, roan and hartebeest. Sixty white-backed vultures and four lappet-faced vultures were also confirmed. Notably, this was the first sighting of a lappet-faced vulture in many years. This was significant given the dire threats and steep declines facing vultures across the continents. In a welcomed addition, two new black rhino calves were born in the park.
Cheetah reintroduction
Cheetahs were translocated from South Africa to Liwonde National Park in Malawi, returning the threatened species to the country. A small founder population of cheetahs has been successfully relocated to Liwonde National Park in Malawi, restoring the severely threatened species at least twenty years after its extinction in the country. lthough 20 years since occurring in Malawi, it has been close to a century since cheetahs were documented in Liwonde National Park. Lions and leopards were also historically common, but disappeared in recent years due to rampant poaching. Decades of habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and poaching severely reduced the nation's predator populations, entirely eradicating cheetahs, a species threatened with extinction in Africa. The reintroduction of cheetahs to Liwonde National Park is another extraordinary story of progressive and optimistic wildlife conservation in Malawi.

After a star-studded reception, several celebrities were spotted at Former minister Praful Patel's daughter, Poorna Patel's reception. In attendance were Katrina Kaif, Shah Rukh Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Sophie Choudry among several others, and needless to say most put their best fashion foot forward. While some did nail their looks, others not quite. We bring to you the best and worst dressed from the event.
ALSO READ | Sophie Choudry, Nushrat Bharucha, Sagarika Ghatge: Best and worst dressed celebs at Praful Patel's daughter's sangeet ceremony
Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif looked serene in an embellished green mint lehenga. Letting her ensemble do all the talking, the look was not accessorised much but was rounded out with a statement choker.
Urvashi Rautela
Urvashi Rautela was spotted in a neon pink lehenga, and while we envy her abs, we cannot say the same about the ensemble. The outfit looked too jarring and the flaky make-up did not help her cause.
Sophie Choudry
Sophie Choudry, who was seen in a gorgeous appearance in a red lehenga at the sangeet looked gorgeous at the reception as well. She donned a grey Manish Malhotra sheer sari and carried it off with panache. She teamed the sari with a matching Dior clutch and a statement neckpiece.
Bhushan Kumar and Divya Khosla Kumar
Divya Khosla Kumar was spotted at the event with husband Bhushan Kumar. The actor turned director looked lovely in a red and gold lehenga from Mayyur Girotra Couture. She rounded out with the look with gold jewellery and hair neatly tied to a bun. Although, we do feel that the make-up could have been better.
Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha who was also spotted at the reception wearing a heavily embroidered lime green Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla anarkali, did not quite impress us with her fashion choices. Although the actor looked lovely, she could have gone for a different colour.
Daisy Shah
Daisy Shah looked radiant in this sheer Manish Malhotra sari. With her hair tied to a bun, the look was rounded out with statement earrings and a golden clutch.
Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia
Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi looked every bit regal at the reception. While the former looked dapper in black, we loved the white blue lehenga Dhupia wore, especially the dupatta. Smokey eyes and golden earrings completed the look.

Click on the appropriate button.
If you know the average establishment/germination rate in your paddock, you enter it below.
If you don't know the rate, use the table to estimate it or simply settle for the default rate of 80%.
These factors can all affect establishment (or field germination) rates. Use your experience of growing canola under similar conditions to estimate the likely rate in your chosen paddock this season.
The information provided by this calculator is intended for use as a guide only. BASF cannot guarantee that every result given is without flaw of any kind. While BASF has taken all due care to ensure that the information provided is accurate, various factors, including planting times, soil and environmental conditions may alter the characteristics and performance of plants. The seeding rate calculations produced by this calculator are built on certain assumptions around average growing season rainfall, target plant densities and requires the user to submit their own assessment of their expected field germination rate for the seed. Field germination rates can be influenced by both environmental conditions (soil type, soil moisture, disease pressure, pest pressure, weed pressure) as well as chosen farming practices (sowing time, seed bed preparation and seeding methods). For application to specific conditions and to select a field germination rate applicable to your conditions it is recommended that you seek further advice from a local farming professional.
BASF will not be liable in any way for any errors or omissions in the information or for any injury, damage loss or other consequence whatsoever that any person may suffer as a result of use of or reliance on the products (whether BASF products or otherwise) and any information which may appear within this website or any publication relating to the MySeed Calculator.

When I Linger in His Presence
Sometimes when shadows lingerAnd darkness veils the nightWhen pain obscures my visionAnd things aren�t going right.
When the world around me crumblesAnd a friend cannot be foundWhen tomorrow holds no promiseAnd life has got me down.
When I am at my lowestAnd I can bear no moreI cry to Him in anguishHe greets me at the door.
He gently whispers to meMy soul has found releaseMy troubles start to perishMy worries seem to cease.
The hardships I have knownSeem to vanish with the windWhen I seek His loving SpiritAnd I humbly let Him in.
All the turmoil that surrounds meSeems to fade like shifting sandWhen I linger in His presenceAnd He gently takes my hand.
HERE IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND A WORD OF PRAYER or SOME FORM OF INSPIRATION.

With so many schools closed, it's great that over 2,000 Scouts and Explorer Scouts are enjoying Gilwell's winter camp, which for the first time in many years reflects the typical seasonal pictures rather than the mud bath we have experienced of late (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8450406.stm). But that's not all that has shown the true value of Scouting this week.
In addition to may sections taking advantage of the snow and cold weather for some exciting programmes, local media across the UK is full of coverage of Scouts doing one of the things we do best, helping others. Whether you have been quietly helping your neighbours, or helping in a much larger, organised and co-ordinated way such as the Scouts of Nottingham for example; we have been helping those less fortunate members of our communities of which there are many..
For my part, the week has also been impacted by the adverse whether and disrupted travel plans but otherwise focussed on yet more meetings I'm afraid and not much opportunity to join in the activities. On Tuesday, I hosted a meeting of colleagues from different areas to review our strategy for ensuring that everybody who wishes to can really join Scouting and also help us, in short, ensuring that we are truly inclusive. We identified a number of steps that we could take to help this and to improve the practical support available to section leaders and others organising events for example.
I've also talked before about better personal support for individuals and succession planning within our Movement, so I took the opportunity of a few "spare hours" as I had to stop over for a meeting on Wednesday, to meet with a couple of colleagues informally to chat about their current roles, identify personal opportunities for them and trying to ensure that everybody is happy. Things like succession planning are always difficult for us because we need to ensure that we continue to have open search processes, but we also need to ensure we have the right people in the right roles, can offer them personal development and ensure that we have a number of good candidates available for future vacancies. No small order and something that equally needs to be done in a Group, District or Area for example as nationally!
Wednesday morning was also a bit scary, and not just trying to travel around. We had organised a morning of advanced media training with some experienced professional media advisers, armed with cameras and recorders for mock tv and radio interviews. You only have to look at tv and media coverage of recent incidents to know that how we react at such a time can have major ramifications for our organisation, so "being prepared" is something that we clearly need to do and refresh our previous training. The morning included a developing mock story involving an incident on a local activity but what it brought home to me is how vitally important it is that we ensure that our policies for such things as ratios of people and the behaviour of leaders when away continue to be right and that we all ensure that we follow them without exception, no matter how minor the exception may at the time feel! Food for thought, and one of those bits of our training, like first response, that you hope you never have to use, but are vital should that occasion arise!

Clifton Athletics Team Visit Wath
Last night we took our Athletics teams to Wath for a fixture involving all the major schools in Rotherham. Once more we were well represented at Year 7 and 8 and students who attended had a really nice evening.
A special shout out to Ben Robinson and Reece Seymour. Neither boy has represented our school this year and until I had a polite word with them during period 4 this afternoon neither were intending on changing this.
Both decided that they would come and have a go. They both entered the javelin with Reece finishing a credible 5th place and Ben an impressive 3rd. This encouraged both to have a go at the Discus. This time Ben was 3rd and Reece won the event. I really think this will do both boys confidence a lot of good so please make a fuss of them when you see them.
We had some other strong performances and it was nice to see the gap is closing in terms of the level of competition that our pupils are now starting to put up against other schools. We are not there yet but we are moving in the right direction.

Clear Distinction
Given the insanity of not having the league of women voters conduct a meaningful debate, it is astounding that Pete Buttigieg produced such a well crafted sound byte defining the difference between Trump and Sanders.
Trump really does want to send me back to the 1950s nightmare I lived while, on the other hand, Sanders wants to build on the energy generated in the 1960s by people working to actually address societal issues.
Pete Buttigieg is, of course, an idiot, and states this all as a bad thing, but even an idiot …
And, for the naysayers, it's not about having solutions, it's about working toward solutions. It seems as if most naysayers have never been involved in solving systemic problems in real life.
Whomever she is paying to plan her tactics
and her strategy owes her a big fucking refund, because it should have been explained to her, very clearly, and before the first such incident, that this would play well only with people who were already her committed supporters, or with some Never Bernie types who supported other candidates. The few such of the latter whom she might stand to gain would be far outnumbered by voters who see this for the childish and spiteful behavior that it is, and react intuitively against it.
The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
No, he's an idiot
High priced, fancy college degrees produce plenty of idiots. This scene from Good Will Hunting is very real to those that have met and not been intimidated by such people in real life:
Was once on a project and two Mckinsey MBA's were hired as consultants. They were idiots.
Mine too.
But I don't have any tolerance for those that repeat the latest buzzwords because they think it makes them look smart, but only reveals no thought on their part. Often because they don't even understand the buzzwords. (Remember when 'paradigm shift' was everywhere -- and in reality nowhere?)
Um maybe Hawford ain't what it used to be
Then again the water in NYC ain't what it used to be either
tRump amerika's last president
voting in ameriKa is an illusion
Be happy you're maybe getting $1200 so stfu
Look I'm just repeating the short version --
of what I read about Pete Buttigieg because the long version is more time-consuming. You all can do more research if you want; I don't really see why I should repeat what I read here.
"Neither time nor cognitive decline has, however, has calmed (Biden's) blood lust or a lifelong commitment to planetary collapse." -- Jennifer Matsui
When I was 24 I had a professor
for whom I ended up writing my diploma thesis (in Physical/Theoretical Chemistry). He brought us (the students in his department, who worked for him as student assistant tutors for the other students in their first years) to CERN. I remember this trip well, listened to a scientist's talk at CERN (which I found easy to understand because of the clarity of his thoughts). I have a photo of myself listening to that guy ... which brings up memories to me 46 years later. I still can't believe my own life story.
My prof was also a guy, who understood that, as a single mom of a baby, I needed my kiddo near me while working on my thesis. So he emptied out his darkroom in his department and let me put a baby cradle in it and I had my peace of mind sitting in the next door room to the darkroom.
I was kinda better in math than in physics or chemistry and became a student in theoretical chemistry only because my highschool grades were not good enough to allow me go into medical school. (That is all related to the German University regulations at that time in the late sixties).
So, for lack of money, I pulled myself through, working on night shifts as a nurse assistant in a huge hospital in Berlin at the department for the end stage cancer patients of that hospital ... It was a good education on these nightshifts for me, I knew I couldn't have made it as a medical doctor, the pleas of the patients to give them more pain killers than were officially prescribed and allowed, haunt me til today. I had to wash these extremely sick men at 3:30 am at night time hours. It's hard to forget that. If they only had allowed to change the nightly schedule to wash them at more humane hours, let's say at 6:30 in the morning. After the night shifts in the hospital I worked in the (old, stinky, unsafe) chemistry labs at my University. On the long run, it was too much. One night I collapsed at the night shift in the hospital. It caused long-lasting minor physical damages. But as the saying goes - what doesn't kill you, makes you strong(er).
Later on I went with the father of my baby and gave him reluctantly and silently my 'yes' word and then followed him to Italy and the US to be a good wife... which meant whatever German academic credentials I had, were good only for the trash can thereafter. Huh? A German woman in her early thirties with some weird knowledge of Technical Chemistry? No Italian was interested in such a thing, even if blonde.
And then in the US, they let me into a PH.D. program at GU in DC, but they asked me to put some absurd amount of money on the table to just listen in to some (partly even mediocre classes) upfront. (That was unheard of in Germany, so I was pissed and shocked what they were asking for. - Well, you get the picture, why I would vote for Bernie, if I were allowed to vote at your side of the pond)) On top of that I had no greencard yet, which meant I had to ask the US State Department to get a work permission in the US and they said, I would be only allowed to work only in the field of my educational background, which meant Theoretical Chemistry. At that point I a just said 'Duhhh, forgettaboutit'. The American employers had no interest in such a weird woman, even if I had been a hot blackhaird one with huge eyes.
Too much time had passed between my degree graduation time and my living in the US. I could have dropped out of my University program in Germany as well. My degrees were nothing more worth than some greasy lunchtime paper wrap.
So, I became a bookstore's employee in a scientific bookstore in the US in Washington DC and worked for pennies there. I admit I like books and like most booksellers seldom read them...
(I still have all I bought back then). Later on some German employers in DC took me in and I made a very humble living.
Whatever, I just want to say, it's the fact that my prof was smart enough to empty out his darkroom, that made all the difference in life for me.
This thread's discussion is hard to read through for me. Somehow petty. I know I am not smart, and I know that educational credential are good to have to get a decent salary and probably a more secured job at a University, but imho it has little to do with either being highly intelligent or being a stupid master in self-absorbing narcicist love.
Stay put firmly on the simple things necessary for survival in your lives. That's all.
Be a human before being a prof. Or both at the same time. I have no clue why I really write this out. Sorry, lots is going on my nerves these days.
Just be a good prof. Don't forget to be a decent human too.
Just a little aside here....
Without any background in science/physics etc, I became a docent at Fermilab for 5 years. One of the physicists decided to write some books about CERN and asked me to be an editor to give a layman's perspective. So I did and am in the acknowledgements. He works now both at CERN and Fermilab. I would LOVE to visit CERN some day.
That job opened a whole new world for me.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
that is a wonderful ! I hope you will have a chance to travel
to Switzerland and visit the CERN facilities. I mean I was there in a little group of four students for a couple of days and it's over 45 years ago. So, I just talked about this little 'story about my life' because I found it amazing in hindsight what a little guesture of kindness of my prof has meant to me in being able to finish my thesis and make a trip to the real scientists at CERN (to illustrate the humanity necessary to have embedded in all those very intelligent educators).
Some article about the CERN's American sibling Fermilab. A look back at fifty years of Fermilab's history, as it celebrates a half-century of scientific achievement today FERMI Lab
There are some interesting details in that article. Of course, me, I liked the buffalo with the baby buffalo best, and that about it for right now... aside from this bit which only could have been said by an American.
Science dedicated to human rights
"The formation of the Laboratory shall be a positive force…toward open housing…[and] make a real contribution toward providing employment opportunities for minority groups"
Robert Wilson, Director of Fermilab
... A few good men .... etc. etc.... Tell me where have all the good men gone? (to the melody of where have all the flowers gone. All that was at times when I adored Joan Baez. Times bygone.
Thanks for the link.
Ask me anything about bison!
In the process of my life being linked to Fermilab, my daughter was chosen in HS to work with Dr. Leon Lederman on a book written by students on various scientists. It was published. She thought she was going to go into physics, but ended up as a city planner. The physicist that tapped me to edit his books is Don Lincoln. Very active on Facebook in an effort to educate about physics etc. I met Lederman many times. The last time I saw him, I went to his office to ask for a book autograph. It was the end of the day, so we walked out together as he told me jokes. What a character and what a memory for me.
"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Maybe it never was
Forty years ago, I made a comment to my smart but non-college graduate boss about the field manager that stood out as the dumbest (and many weren't all that swift). My boss agreed before revealing, Harvard Law, so we're stuck with him.
Let's not overlook his Military connections.
Entered the army as a lieutenant sans boot camp, worked the lucrative Heroin run out of Afghanistan where he picked up the nickname, Poppy Pete. Later, White Powder Pete. He was Navy Intel, so he worked a lot of places, with a lot of people. Even Peter Strzok of Mueller fame. Connected to chemical weapons in a covert way. Fluent in Farsi. Lots of info out there via FOIA. He is a dream embed for the Intelligence Community. Another Poppy Bush.
A key point
A lot of the thread in this essay is an unhelpful repetition of anti-intellectual stereotypes. Buttigieg is not an idiot. He is malevolent. He is a security establishment candidate. He is not just pro-CIA. He is CIA. That's why he has been taken seriously as a candidate even though he is less qualified than Sarah Palin. That is why Obama talked him up so early. Russia did not hack the 2016 Presidential election, but the security establishment (Brennan, Clapper, Comey, etc.) tried to, and in Buttigieg they are trying to install one of their own.
Kind of like the nonfiction version of Darth Sidious.
"Neither time nor cognitive decline has, however, has calmed (Biden's) blood lust or a lifelong commitment to planetary collapse." -- Jennifer Matsui
One of the stupider moments in the debate
I'm not yet seeing any nostalgia in Trump or ordinary Republican voters for the 1950s Cold War and McCarthyism. But it's florid among the IC and Cllintonistas.
wrt to the 1960s -- Damn right I'm nostalgic for all the major progressive public policy advances in that period -- a very long list - Civil Rights Act, Medicare/Medicaid, implementation of Brown v. Bd of Ed, the legal and judicial legislation and decision that removed bans on contraception, the ERA (came too late in the period to be ratified). It was FP that was huge mess at that time, one that Republicans and conservadems have continued to replicate in the subsequent decades.
Tulsi is the smartest, not throwing away money
on BS.
Buttigieg is just Bill Clinton without the horndog part(Harvard, Oxford and Rhodes scholar) . This is just the great neoliberal hope, another chance to capture triangulation and three dimensional chess in a bottle. F' em.
He's missing a tenor sax also... too
On the plus side, he has the personality of a whelk.
from a reasonably stable genius.
A piano instead of a sax n/t
The piano-playing gastropod is quite loquacious about his symphonic performance.
from a reasonably stable genius.
So if Pete got him a tenor sax......
...... would that make him Lawrence Whelk?
He's missing a tenor sax also... too On the plus side, he has the personality of a whelk.

With the gastropod's anodyne 'style'
That would be a 'yes'
Aged persons across the nation can rejoice.
from a reasonably stable genius.
And both are CIA pre-approved
Clinton through the CIA gun and drug trafficking through the Mena, Arkansas airport. Petey through his time at McKinsey, a CIA contractor, and through his time as a naval intelligence officer (in Kabul, no less,--not a lot of ships, but a lot of drug smuggling).
Wrong place.

But as soon as I posted it, I realized it carried the second meaning -- the one you inferred -- and I thought ... yeah, sure. That works too.
