Read this article to learn about the objectives, planning and scope of development in conjunctive use of surface and ground waters.
Definition and Objectives:
Conjunctive use of surface and groundwater (S and G waters) implies not only their joint use but their planned and coordinated use in such a way that the total water resources are used in an efficient and economical way to get maximum agricultural production through irrigation and drainage. At the same time it does not disturb environment, on the contrary it makes regional climate healthy.
Two main objectives of the conjunctive use are:
(i) To achieve optimal utilisation of the water resources and maximise the agricultural production per unit of water, and
(ii) To reclaim waterlogged lands by gradually declining the ground water table.
Firstly, the main objective of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater is to achieve optimal utilisation of the water resources and maximise the agricultural production per unit of water. For best agricultural production it is essential that the crop is supplied with requisite quantity of water at the various critical stages of its growth. The total number of waterings (quantity-wise and time-wise) required cannot usually be fully met from either surface or groundwater individually.
Major and medium surface water schemes do not have sufficient flexibility and the roster of operating the channels cannot be adjusted to provide timely irrigation in their command areas for various crops with different base and critical periods.
The needs cannot also be economically met from groundwater alone on account of pumping effort required for lifting the water with the introduction of high yielding varieties with their more exacting water requirements, the situation has become all the more difficult. However conjunctive use of the two sources helps to meet the requirements both with respect to time and quantity.
Secondly, surface water irrigation without proper drainage and/or adequate groundwater development has resulted in alarming rise of the water table in some parts of the country, creating problems of water-logging. This water-logging has affected crop growth adversely and has rendered large areas unproductive.
The situation is likely to deteriorate further with increasing intensities of irrigation and the tendency on the part of the farmers to over apply irrigation from surface waters. Integrated use of water will lead to gradual decline of groundwater table and help in reclaiming the waterlogged lands.
Planning for Conjunctive Use of 'S' & 'G' Waters:
In planning introduction of surface and groundwater use in integrated and conjunctive manner we have to take following steps:
(a) Assessing Availability of Water Resources:
The first necessity in the planning for integrated development and conjunctive use of surface and ground-waters is to assess their availability and distribution. It is also necessary to have a water budget for all sources of water for each area/sub-basin/basin/region. In addition, knowledge of land resources is also required so as to properly evaluate the potentialities of integrated and conjunctive use. As regards surface waters, the seasonal availability and areal distribution are generally known though not accurately.
In case of ground-waters, because they are hidden under the earth and their occurrence, availability and distribution are affected by complex factors like geological formations, void space, permeability etc., knowledge is comparatively scanty particularly for hard rock areas. The surface flows being visible can be quantified more easily than the hidden ground-waters which requires elaborate arrangements for their exploration and assessment.
(b) Determination of Quantity, Quality, Number and Interval of Water Applications:
To increase crop yield, a number of agricultural inputs like better seeds, proper fertilizers, improved management and requisite irrigation water are necessary. Proper development and management of the water input, however, is of overriding importance since the success and efficiency of other inputs are dependent on the quantity, quality and timing of the water supply, the methods of its use and the adequacy of control over it.
A judicious integration of the surface and ground-waters helps in meeting the demands of the water input. In order to devise suitable methodology for such integration, knowledge of the crops, their seasons, water requirements and critical stages for irrigation is essential. It is also necessary to know the less critical stages so that in case the available supplies are inadequate (whether in terms of quantity or timeliness), irrigation may be reduced or omitted at those stages with minimum loss in crop production.
The traditional cropping patterns in the country mostly depend on the rainfall season and availability of water for irrigation which meant utilising water as and when available. By integrated and conjunctive use, it is possible to provide water for irrigation when required for various stages of crop growth.
Scope of Development of Conjunctive Use:
Ground water has been utilised for irrigation in our country for many centuries. Similarly tanks also provided water for irrigation. Over the year's tube wells, battery of tube wells, tank systems have been developed. Similarly from nineteenth century onwards large scale river diversion and storage schemes for irrigating lands have come up. However these developments were made in an isolated manner without coordination with other source of water.
From the nineteen sixties onwards, on account of the rapidly increasing demand for food grains and rise in their prices, the attention of Central and State governments were focused not only towards increased development of both the sources of water but also towards increased integrated and conjunctive use.
The introduction by mid-sixties of high yielding varieties of crops with their exacting demands for irrigation supplies gave a big boost to integrated and conjunctive use. However, such development was mostly achieved by the enterprise of the individual farmers who utilised groundwater from their own wells and surface waters from the government owned canals.
In the twenty-first century the need for optimisation of water use both by surface and groundwater has increased many fold to feed ever increasing population of the country. It requires systematic and scientific study to develop conjunctive and integrated use of all sources of water.
The study of water balance in the various river basins has to be intensified in order to assess the quantum of utilizable surface and ground waters before taking up integrated and conjunctive development of water resources on a large scale. The detailed water balance studies are likely to take considerable time. As such in near future possibility of integrated and conjunctive use in the commands of major and medium irrigation projects appears to be achievable target in the first instance.

Ohio Democrats hope to stir interest, energy around debate
First Democratic presidential debate of 2016 election cycle will kickoff at 8:30 p.m. October 13 from Las Vegas
Ohio Democrats are hoping Tuesday's debate sparks enthusiasm for a 2016 presidential primary that has so far lacked much of the drama of Republicans' Donald Trump-infused campaign.
Watch parties are planned across the battleground state, including in big cities such as Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo and Akron and in smaller places like Marietta and Chillicothe.
"When you have the sideshow with what felt like 100 candidates running for the Republican nomination, the sideshow's all you're going to get," said Stonewall Columbus vice president Marc Gofstein, who plans to watch the Las Vegas debate at a party in Columbus.
Gofstein said if Democrats can stick to talking more about issues "the drama's significantly less, because you're worried about what people are going through not what Donald Trump's saying."
Grassroots efforts by Ohio Democrats come as Republicans have enjoyed strong attention in the state in the run-up to 2016.
Cleveland won its bid to serve as the site of the Republican National Convention next year, and it also hosted the first GOP debates in August. Ohio Gov. John Kasich is among Republicans seeking the White House.
Democrats seek to cast as a negative the record-setting viewership garnered by Republican presidential debates featuring Trump, the front-running billionaire businessman and reality television star.
"Maybe people won't think it's as exciting as a Donald Trump debate. I think that's a good thing," said Ohio Democratic Chairman David Pepper. "The Democrats are focused like a laser on economic issues more so than attacking each other."
Though the Republicans' primary has been marked by attacks - often lobbed by and at Trump - they can draw voter attention. Kasich, for example, has sought to avoid attacking either fellow Republicans or Democrats in his presidential campaign but has failed thus far to see voters propel him into the race's top tier in polling.
Kasich is on a four-day bus tour through Wednesday that's stopping in New Hampshire, Vermont and Michigan as he seeks to build national name recognition and momentum.
There's evidence the Democrats' contest is also still settling out.
Hillary Clinton has remained the front-runner in early polling with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont polling second, but a Quinnipiac University poll released Sept. 24 showed a combined 14 percent of Democrats or Democratic-leaning voters are either undecided, won't vote or want to see someone else run.
An additional 18 percent said they'd vote for Vice President Joe Biden if he were running.
Pepper said he expects Tuesday's debate to highlight Democrats' key policy differences with Republicans on income inequality, wages and jobs.

By any standard metric, Northwestern women's golf had a great season. Playing in nine elite tournaments throughout the regular (traditionally with 12-18 teams in the field), the Wildcats had six top-five finishes, including two top-three finishes. At the Big Ten Championships they placed third, and in the NCAA regionals they took the sixth and final spot brought them to the NCAA Tournament.
On Tuesday, Northwestern's season ended after a close 3-2 loss to Stanford in the NCAA quarterfinals, leaving them with a top-10 finish nationally. By Northwestern's standards, however, it was just another year.
Since a breakout year in 2013 and the subsequent arrival of Hannah Kim in 2014-15, Northwestern has been a powerhouse program, winning three Big Ten co-championships and placing in the top three each of the five seasons. Coming off a second-place finish in last year's NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats came into this one with a trophy on their minds.
In the match play format, senior Sarah Cho was the first to tee off against Stanford's Emily Wang. Cho has an impressive resume herself: she was the 2015 Big Ten Individual Champion, was First Team All-Big Ten in 2016, and has the third lowest career scoring average in program history, at 74.4. Back in 2015, Cho won the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invite competing as an individual. Starting on the back nine, Cho and Wang were neck-and-neck through the first nine holes, with neither player going more than 1-up. They entered the front nine all knotted up. After splitting the first two holes, Cho gained control, winning holes 3, 4, 6, and 8 to secure a 3&1 victory (meaning she won by three strokes and clinched the match with one hole remaining). The Wildcats were on the board.

Going on concurrently was NU's Brooke Riley versus the Cardinal's Shannon Aubert. Aubert led the entire match, and clinched a 4&3 victory after hole 6.
Next, Hannah Kim took the course against Stanford's All-American Mika Liu. Kim had a scorching start, winning the first four holes. She then maintained that lead through the back nine. On the front nine, Liu won two of the first three holes to make things interesting. Then, on the fourth hole, Kim made Northwestern's shot of the match: she sunk a 55-foot putt from the rough for birdie to put her back 4-up regain control. Kim then cruised to a 5&3 victory.
The fourth match, pitting the Wildcats' Stephanie Lau against Albane Valenzuela, was a tale of two halves. After tying the first three holes, Valenzuela gained the edge on hole 13. They went back-and-forth for the rest of the half, but Valenzuela ended up 2. On the front nine, Valenzuela pulled away to win, 5 & 4.
The match then came down to a battle between Northwestern's Janet Mao versus Stanford's Andrea Lee. Lee got off to a hot start, taking the first three holes, but Mao gained composure and trimmed her deficit to two through nine. After the turn, things got wild. Mao won the first hole to pull within one, but then Lee hit a number of clutch shots to go up three through six. Having to win the next three holes to force a tiebreaker, Mao birdied the seventh hole and then sunk another 18-foot birdie to force the ninth hole.
We only have one thing to say to you:— Northwestern Golf (@NUGolf_Live) May 22, 2018

However, with the season on the line, Mao and Lee each took five shots to secure the victory for Lee and for Stanford.
Northwestern will return seven of nine golfers next year, but will lose their top two in Cho and Kim. Stanford went on to fall to eventual champion Arizona.
One of just three schools with Top-10 finishes at each of the last four #NCAAGolf Championships.— Northwestern Golf (@NUGolf_Live) May 22, 2018

Harambe's Ghost
I finished this 36″h x 48″w acrylic painting yesterday. Early on while painting this one up I noticed a gorilla taking shape bottom right. What's been all over the news lately? Yep, Harambe getting shot at the Cincinnati Zoo. Real shame, but the right call me thinks. Definitely wouldn't like seeing the kid's arm or leg ripped off his body, or the kid getting killed. Seems like they'd make those areas kid proof knowing kids can be adventurous in the blink of an eye, right?? I'm sure all these cute animal movies that have come out over the years wouldn't make a kid think dangerous animals are really nice and fuzzy and most definitely want to be their friend. I like my wife's cat and I'm pretty sure Muffin likes me, but if Muffin all of a sudden grew big, I know she'd eat me in a second. I really don't have room to talk here because I've always wanted a raccoon and a grizzly bear cub to raise up ever since watching that Grizzly Adams TV show when I was a youngling. Trust me, if I could have a grizzly bear as a member of my family, he'd be hanging out with me in my studio right now!! Unfortunately, there's some city and state laws preventing that from happening. Arggghhhhhh!!
I apologize once again for not posting lately. I'm back part time at my father's company on special assignment and painting like crazy when I'm not there. I will be announcing another Solo Art Show right here in my hometown of Lumberton, North Carolina soon! I'm really excited about this one and I'm painting up a crowd of new paintings for it too. Plus, some more pottery artworks! More info shortly! Until next time then, take care!!

Went very well :-)
I got to the barn early so that I could get everything packed in my car and spend some time with my pony before her world changed again. She was sleepy because it was so much warmer than it has been and she had been standing in the sun.
J, the barn owner, got there soon after and I got Katai out of the pasture after having to track down the property owner to unlock the gate. She oddly enough marched straight to the trailer and climbed halfway on before I had myself organized. Then she caught herself, heard the trailer making clanking noises and jumped back out. She was a little wound up then and it took another 20 minutes or so to get her on but she still did well and was listening and not getting too wound up.
I followed the trailer back to the barn and she rode very well, not bouncing around at all, and J said that she couldn't even feel her back there. She was quite sweaty and stressed when we got there and I pulled her off and turned her out into the round pen to bounce around for a little and work off some of that stress. I stayed with her for awhile and then went to unload my tack and get settled in.
I realized as I was unloading and finding places for my tack that she has never been at a normal boarding barn before. In fact, the largest herd of horses that I think she has ever been in was with 3 others. She was calling and basically pretty wound up. It didn't take her too long to calm down considerably though and after a couple good rolls she was relaxed and walking instead of running.
Last night Gordan and I had been given free tickets to the Minnesota Roller Girls roller derby. It was my first time watching roller derby and it was awesome! The ending was extremely close and I almost lost my voice yelling for our friend's favorite team.
This evening I went out to the barn to see how things were going and to start to acclimate Katai to the coverall arena. Another thing I had realized is that my little pony has never been in an indoor arena so I knew it would take a little getting used to.
When I got there I noticed that her halter and lead rope were missing and when I went out towards the pen I had left her in she wasn't there. I saw J in the distance and walked over to see what was going on. As I walked I was looking around and finally did see her out in a large pasture and guessed, correctly it turned out, that she had escaped her isolation pen. Mostly Katai isn't much of an escape artist but the huge change in her routine and all of the new horses had her pretty worked up. J told me where to find my halter and I went to catch her and check on her.
She actually walked right up to me, which is a huge change from how she used to react, and let me catch her easily. She also walked calmly with me back to the arena and even walked in pretty well. As we walked I noticed that she was pretty gouged up. I have no idea where she went or what she ran into but she has deep scrapes on both sides of her barrel up towards her back and a very deep nasty looking scratch right in her flank. I tied her and then went to get medicine to put on them and she lost it a bit. Luckily J has some of the Blocker Tie Rings and she just pulled back a ways and then stopped. I got her sorted out and got her lunging to work off some of the stress. She was obviously sore, tired and stressy and I'm sure the fact that she is in raging heat isn't helping her feel any better. Moving around a little wasn't going to hurt her at any rate and I walked around the whole arena lunging her close to all of the trail obstacles that had been set up. She didn't bat an eye at anything, not even the bridge covered in tarps. Once she started to drop her head and blow I tied her again, cleaned out her feet (which continue to look better and better) and got her all doctored up. She danced a little whenever I left her but was really a lady all things considered. By the time I had her all set she was getting herself a little worked up again so I got her out and moving again. More stress release and then she got her grain.
Finally, as it was getting dark, I put her rain sheet on since the weather is taking a turn for the worse again and put her back out in her pen. J had pulled in the herd that she is going to be a part of (and the herd she got loose to try to join) so they are right along her fence. Hopefully she will stay where she is supposed to and not be any worse for the wear tomorrow.

Woman's Personal Hygiene
Author: Leona W. Chalmers
Date: 1941
Publisher: Pioneer Publications
Representative Quotes:
"Married women who disregard the natural laws of health and hygiene are apt to find themselves alone in the evening while their husbands seek the companionship of other wiser women." (page 75)
"Physicians tell of well-groomed, nicely made-up, perfumed women who, when placed on the table for examination, are found to have the vulva smeared with colon faeces with often a caked, cheese-like substance that must be dislodged by the doctor before he can complete the examination." (page 106)Is there any less appetizing word that a writer could choose, when describing our fleshiest bits, than "cheese-like"? This is a serious question, one I pose only a week after learning of the phenomena of "breadloafing," which occurs when breast implants merge together. That "caked" and "cheese-like" quoted above comes about halfway through Leona W. Chalmers' Woman's Personal Hygiene, a dated and muddled book that warned our mothers and grandmothers that petting while unmarried would lead to "vaginal discharges" that would cause constipation, make menstruation more painful, and, quite possibly, build up, congeal, and come to resemble dairy. (Of course, for all her attempts to terrify women, the most disturbing word in that passage is no gross-out adjective. It's "he," as it is simply, naturally assumed that the only professional equipped to examine the vagina is someone without one.) As in most hygiene guides from the first half of the last century, constipation is a much more serious concern than it would be for us today. "CONSTIPATION is almost invariably the result," Chalmers warns in a passage about the on-the-go diet of "girls in office jobs and behind the counters in department stores." (She gets around to citing their make-out habits as a contributor a couple chapters later.) "Something has to be done, and quickly," she continues, "because a constipated person is an inefficient person. Furthermore, this condition is almost invariable accompanied by a foul breath." Chalmers offers lots of advice for forestalling this condition. This is her most memorable: For all her interest in the troubles of the rectum -- she quotes Harvey Kellogg's claim that the final two feet of the colon are "the seat of the most destructive blockade that has ever opposed human progress" -- Chalmers' chief interest is the upkeep and maintenance of women's little cheesemakers ... and in encouraging all women to "contemplate the mysteries of her organism." That is, of course, a noble endeavor, especially since American society preferred that those mysteries languish politely unplumbed. But for all her frankness about the makeup and maintenance of what she calls "the pelvic organs" and "the uterine-cervix," Chalmers still regards that organism with many of the assumptions of her age, like "Women's reproductive apparatus is as sensitive as a finely strung violin." Or her belief that several times a month each cavity in a woman's lower half must be flushed clean, usually via the injection of soapy water and some rubbery device. Here's how, incidentally. She argues, "The question is not whether the woman should take a douche, but what she should use IN the douche water." There follows many pages about the types of neck and spray nozzle and syringes on various Flo-Baks and Va-Jettes that douchers and home-enema enthusiasts must seek out. Weirdly, like an right-wing radio host, she insists that she is the only true source of information on her topic:
"Don't rely upon some friend or store clerk for information on such personal, impersonal needs. It requires years of research, study, and experimental tests to develop safe and effective appliances for this purpose, and store clerks cannot help you. This book, on the other hand, is probably the most complete of its kind."Also, here's a fun craft project! So, Chalmers claims a monopoly on knowledge about the size, shape, and needs of her readers' own cervixes. Elsewhere in her book, she:

Whether we like it or not, the cold winter months are at our doorstep, so I will be following these few tips to keep my family healthy and our immune systems supported.
1. Wash your hands. I bet you tried to skip over this because you already know that it's the smart thing to do, but take a second and think about how lazy you are. How often do you really take the time to wash your hands a little more often during the winter months? You do? Oh, well then sorry to bother you. Oh that was a lie? Well, do it!! Using hand sanitizer is also a great option when you're not able to wash your hands.
2. Keep frequently touched surfaces clean. One word: Cell phone! Use sanitizing wipes (like Wet-Ones) to routinely clean off your cell phone, computer, tablet and anything else that is frequently touched.
3. Use Ester-C. Ester-C is a pill packed full of vitamin c that supports your immune system when you need it most. All you need to do is take one daily and ta-da! Your immune system is packed with the nourishment it needs. Ester-C is great because it is manufactured without chemical solvents, which means it's non-acidic and gentle on your stomach. You can search for the hashtags #24HourEsterC #CollectiveBias for more information.
Where can you find this fantastic product?? I found it in the multivitamins section at Walmart, and I'm pretty sure it is carried in most stores that have a pharmacy.
4. Exercise. Getting your heart pumping strengthens your heart and strengthens your immune system. Plus it will make you feel better overall as well.
5. Eat healthy (and don't forget a little Chicken Noodle Soup!) Eating healthy will keep your body ready to fight off germs, not to mention full of vitamins. Also, according to Web MD, research shows that the ingredients in Chicken Noodle Soup actually might have a natural effect on inflammation.

All County Football League Division 3
Con Magees kept their place at the top of a very congested Division 3 league table when they beat Ballycastle in Friday evening's league game at Fr Maginn Park. After falling behind to a Mark Higgins point for the visitors the home team dominated the remainder of the first half and with Conor McNeill and David Higgins in fine scoring form they pulled away to lead by 1-11 to 0-4 by half time. The goal came from David Higgins on 11 minutes and he also contributed two points, while McNeill accounted for six points with Gareth McKeown and 'big' Conor Carey getting the other, while the Ballycastle points came from Mark Higgins (3) and Thomas McIlroy.
David Higgins, Conor McNeill and Declan Diamond pointed early in the second half to increase the Con Magees lead even further before another point from Mark Higgins and a great individual score from TT Butler got Ballycastle going again. Higgins pulled two more back, one from a free and the other from a 45, and Higgins was unlucky not to grab a goal after good work by TT Butler had put him clear in front of the target. Higgins did manage to get through for a goal midway through the second half and midfielder Caolan McCaughan added two late points, but the home team came back with two goals of their own through David Higgins and Marty McCarry to keep their top place, just a point ahead of St Comgall's, St Patrick's Lisburn, St Malachy's and Ardoyne who are all snapping at their heels.

The Fed raised interest rates in June, the second time this year, the US economy continued to grow, and the job market performed strongly. Although wage growth in May is still unsatisfactory and inflation has fallen, Fed officials seem to be inclined to stick to their plans. The Fed also announced that it will begin to reduce the size of its public debt and other securities from this year. In fact, compared to raising interest rates, the Fed's contract will directly reduce the dollar flowing in the market. If the base currency of 2.5 trillion US dollars is reduced in just a few years, plus the multiplier effect, this "dollar reduction" will undoubtedly lead to huge turmoil in the financial market. We tend to; the Fed does not value the performance of economic data on the issue of contraction. Even if the weak economic data in the future delays further interest rate hikes, the Fed may continue to shrink. In short, the United States is completely bidding farewell to easing. In addition, the central banks in Europe and Japan have successively reported that they may end the easing. If the European and Japanese central banks gradually recover liquidity, this will also have a major impact on the global financial market. Given that the Fed's specific plan is ahead of market expectations, whether the Fed will begin to reduce its balance sheet at its policy meeting in September this year deserves special attention.
According to the latest data released by the People's Bank of China, China's M2 growth rate in May was 9.6%. This is the historical mark that the M2 growth rate has fallen below 10% for the first time since statistics were published in 1986. The slowdown in M2 growth is mainly due to the financial system's reduction of internal leverage, which is no doubt that the money has tightened compared to the previous two-digit growth. In the next two years, under the suppression of the Fed's tightening monetary policy, China's monetary policy will continue to be stable and tight. This is a negative for China's real estate and stock market. However, real estate transactions have been basically frozen. We believe that the central bank's de-leverage is to make the money in the market less and more expensive, to control the flow of funds to places where the risk is too high, to prevent systemic risks. Although management has introduced a series of strong policies, it shows that the responsibility of the decision-making level exceeds market expectations. However, many pessimists in the market still doubt that even if the decision-making layer wants to make these changes, and faces the current tight market currency, the obstruction of too many interest groups, and the rising production capacity and output, the clearing of the surplus industry is even more difficult. At present, both China and the United States hope to avoid a sharp appreciation of the US dollar against the renminbi. This constitutes the basis for the coordination and cooperation of exchange rate policies between the two sides. For a long time, China's basic system is not perfect, especially the stock market is only for financing services. Failure to put the interests of investors in the most important position is the biggest failure. In the fall of this year, the "Nineteenth National Congress" meeting on China's future political and economic trends, reform and compromise will be an important turning point in China's political and economic history. We have no doubt that before the 19th National Congress, all "stable words" take the lead. Preventing financial and debt from systemic risks is the core task of the government. In particular, China's capital is strictly controlled and externally appreciated, and the internal depreciation pattern is more obvious. This has made domestic inflation factors support the formation of basic metals. In the off-season consumption in the third quarter, the probability of oscillation in the basic metal range is still large.
At present, the domestic alumina spot market transaction is light, and the alumina enterprise inventory and electrolytic aluminum raw material inventory are at a low level. From the transaction situation, most of the contracts are long-term contracts. The comprehensive cost of alumina is basically around 2,320 yuan / ton. Due to the high operating rate of electrolytic aluminum and the rebound in alumina prices, the alumina operating rate increased. The alumina output in May was 5.745 million tons, which remained at a high level. However, due to environmental factors and the expected reduction in electrolytic aluminum production, alumina prices have always been suppressed in this area, and the upper space will also be limited. The current alumina price operation range is 2500-2700 yuan / ton, and the mainstream transaction price is about 2620 yuan / ton. We believe that with the passage of time, especially the gradual approach of the 19th National Congress, environmental protection and electrolytic aluminum production are expected to increase, domestic alumina prices will be affected by these negative effects, and the selling pressure above the price will gradually increase. In short, we are still cautiously empty-minded about the short-term trend of alumina. It is expected that the domestic alumina price trend in July will be a weak range.
At present, the supply-side reform of the aluminum market is still facing uncertainty. The actual production reduction is far from the theoretical reduction of production scale. The short-term huge inventory and tight liquidity still bring pressure to the aluminum market. Recently, the "soft constraints" suddenly proposed by President Ogawa should cause us to pay attention to the reform trend of decision-making. This shows that the management has a high degree of vigilance against the central government's finances for local governments and enterprises with high debt risk. This also highlights the strong confidence of the central government in the future after the 19th National Congress on the belief in reform, and may also imply that we should have a new understanding of capacity and de-leverage. We believe that the domestic aluminum market is the policy city in the end, Weiqiao's production of 250,000 tons will not end, perhaps just started. Baichuan data shows that the current domestic electrolytic aluminum cost is 13,200 yuan / ton, and the monthly output reaches 3.182 million tons. Production has hit record highs, showing that the game between the local and the central is still in progress. The third quarter will be the period of publicity of illegal production capacity in various regions, and the market will pay more attention to it. At the same time, the publicity and implementation of illegal production capacity in Xinjiang will still plague the market. In the long run, there are no shortcuts to reform. It is risky to try to reduce leverage through the use of leverage by residents. Only through structural state-owned enterprise reform is the main way to solve problems. The recent reduction in alumina production has pushed up the cost of primary aluminum production. To take care of themselves, China has asked 28 cities to cut aluminum production during the winter heating period, while China's aluminum production accounts for more than 55% of global production. Environmental pressures and expectations that some electrolytic aluminum will cut production will weaken the selling pressure of the empty side. From the actual situation of the market, the domestic aluminum stocks rebounded less in the off-season, especially the number of large trucks on the road showed a significant increase, which may indicate that consumption and intensity exceeded people's expectations. We believe that; with the gradual approach of the 19th National Congress, all "stable words" take the lead, and it is the core task of the government to prevent financial risks and debts from appearing systematic risks. Under the interaction of de-capacity, environmental protection pressure and real domestic inflation expectations (profit), as well as the corresponding real estate control cycle and liquidity tightening (bad interest), the domestic aluminum market will still show a range of fluctuations.

Swervedriver (photo: Patric Carver)
"Oh, man, look how young Jerry is," breathed a young woman as she pointed at one of the Fillmore's archival photographs of the Grateful Dead.
"They're all young," sneered her boyfriend, pieces of the iconic Fillmore-provided apple occupying his mouth as he spoke, his hand around her waist and his other hand looking up the Grateful Dead on his phone. "And, hun, that's not Jerry, it's Bob."
"I don't think I actually know any Dead songs," the woman said as they went into the auditorium.
So began the evening.
I'm not criticizing anyone for not having an intimate knowledge of the Grateful Dead. I've never been a fan of their music (be still your pitchforks), but I do appreciate how they provided a safe, folksy passage for the teenagers of yesterday from the records of suburban church folk of their parents to the hazier and comparatively more dangerous world of rock and roll. Even though I'd never be mistaken for a Deadhead, I do tend to endear myself more to music, music fans, and musicians that are well-informed of the legacy of pop music.
OK, so maybe I was judging a little.
However clueless this couple may have been about the psychedelic forefathers of rock and roll, the crowd for the night definitely seemed tuned in, matching the rock intelligence of openers No Win and iconic second act Swervedriver.
No Win is a band that doesn't require too much from the listener. If No Win were a male model, they would be described as having a boyish face with an athletic build. There's an innocence about them, both lyrically and in terms of the charm of their hooks, but it's coupled with this very tight, clean playing that is just very easy on the ear. There's a math rock tinge to them that is reminiscent of some of Weezer's earlier work with a dusting of nasal coming through in the otherwise strong vocals. Playing in support of their fifth album, Downey, I can see No Win has named themselves ironically, because their playing was top-notch.
It was a good night for people who like guitars used as instruments in their own right rather than just the filler of space, the carrier of song lyrics.
This only continued with Oxford heroes Swervedriver. Their latest album, Future Ruins, is a testament to the fact that there's no reason to teach an old dog new tricks if you just train him correctly in the first place. Founding members Adam Franklin and Jimmy Hartridge tore the theatre up with their grindhouse guitars. Some people think that a meat grinder might be an unpleasant place to dwell, but please don't tell that to Hartridge and Franklin's signature sound — a sludge that tears itself apart in the most lovely way.
"Mary Winter," from Future, came out swinging as the band took to the stage, placing the bar high for the rest of their set and with each song measuring up. "Last Train to Satanville" and "99th Dream" were particularly amazing, but the closing song of the night, "Duel" from their 1993 album Mezcal Head was truly intoxicating. It's got these plunging moments that bring the audience way down with it — simply beautiful.
In a place so haunted by rock gods of the past, it can be hard for current musicians to live up to the legends. No Win and Swervedriver definitely earned their place in the Fillmore's history books.

LAGUNA WOODS – A small savings bank based in Minnesota, and with two branches in Orange County, including Seal Beach, was seized by a federal government insurance fund at a cost of $38.8 million, officials said last week.
Home Savings of America was nationalized and closed when no other bank would purchase its assets and liabilities, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. This takeover was the first time in 13 months that a bank was liquidated without another bank stepping up to take over its accounts, according to the Orange County Register.
All account holders with less than $250,000 in an individual account will get a full payout from the FDIC. Anyone with more than that amount was asked to contact the FDIC.
Home Savings of America was based in Little Falls, Minn., and had one other branch in the Midwest. Its other two branches were in Laguna Woods and Seal Beach.
Home Savings was no relation to the California savings and loan behemoth of earlier decades, which was a major player in Southland home finance.

Here's what happened:
On Friday, there was a power outage that affected the restaurant owned by Mr. Luther. Employees, concerned about keeping the food safe, place dry ice inside the freezer to keep everything cold. On Sunday, the power came back on and Luther walked into the freezer to get some supplies for cooking.
The door closed behind him, and he was trapped.
Luther's commercial freezer had a safety release button on the inside that was supposed to allow anyone inside to open the door. But the button was evidently broken.
So, what we have here is a death that can be attributed to a failure of situational awareness. Had Mr. Luther been aware that the safety button was broken, and had he taken steps to have it repaired, he might be alive today.
Even though the "agent of death" might be asphyxia, or hypothermia, or an 18-wheeler that clobbers you as you step off the curb, the real cause of death is often a lack of situational awareness.
Maintaining situational awareness is a core principle of survival. Here are a few ways to do it.
Be aware of danger zones, and stay out of them.
Test safety equipment to make sure it works.
Check the weather, and take appropriate precautions to stay dry.
Inspect vehicle gauges before taking off.
Is your zipper up and shoes tied? Is your slip showing (for those of you who wear slips)?
Turn around to see if there a mountain lion following you.
Check your backtrail for landmarks you'll use when hiking in the opposite direction.
Inventory your bug-out-bag often.
Be sure of your footing before shifting your weight.
Ask yourself where the will blade go if it slips — make sure it isn't into your flesh.
Look both ways (twice) before crossing.
Find out what that noise is.
Pay attention to sources of water, food, shelter, and essential supplies.
Maintain general awareness of what's going on around you.

About Southwestern Home Decor Style
Southwestern home decor – style interior decoration is a totally American style that is indigenous to the West, but can be used anywhere. It can work in any room of the house and in decorating your office with style and grace. You can not understand the Southwestern style decor, without an understanding of the land and the heritage behind this style. It is a vibrant and colorful land that is often harsh and unforgiving. It can range from high plateaus of the deepest valleys.
You can find grassy hills next to the volcanic rocks. Architecture is one thing that makes the Southwestern home decor style stand. It is very similar to the landscape of the area in which it can vary greatly. Red tile roofs of clay are very popular in the old Spanish hacienda style. Tone metal roofs are also common.
12 Picture Gallery: About Southwestern Home Decor Style
The colors of the Southwestern home decor make it really stand out from other styles of home decor. Bold, bright colors that are used to the colors that come from the earth resemble. Intense, turquoise and cobalt blue are popular choices, as are deep reds, such as dirt and rocks. Rich mixture of green and yellow and bright orange, and a Southwestern theme.

Card Carrying and Cross Bearing
I've heard of the phrase "card carrying," but wondered when it originated. I discovered one of the earliest uses of the term was found in a Daily People article written in 1912, describing "'Union-card' carrying members."

Giants Lose First Season Game Against Pirates, 10-8
Apr. 20, 2011
After a 2 ½ week break, the Giants were back on the field in a game against the Pirates. The game was a late week night game. The Giants suffered their first lost, with a final score of 10-8, on April 19, 2011. This was a tough lost for the team, as they fought their way back to almost pick up the win.
This was the first game where there was 3 innings of kid-pitching. Ben Neadow pitched all three innings for the Giants, allowing only 3 runs while on the mound. Ben did a great job pitching after returning from such a long break.
There were many great offensive plays for the night. Nicolas Carrasquero had a triple and a homerun that drove in a RBI. Charles Sanchez also had a homerun and a second great hit with an RBI. Ben Neadow had a great hit that resulted in a triple.
The game ball for the night went to Cameren Christian. Cameren had two great hits that were singles, but also made a great defensive play with a tag-out at second. Coach Todd congratulated Cameren as he was able to help keep the game scoring tight. Way to go, Cam! Good job on picking up the game ball!
Much of the game was officiated by one umpire. A second umpire did enter the game around the fourth inning. However, it appeared that some calls during the game were not favored by the Giants. This was a tough break for the team, but the kids did not let them stop them from fighting their way back to make it a close game.
The Giants next game is on Saturday, April 23 at 10:00am where they will face the Tigers at home. Good luck Giants!!!

On this day in 1884, a New York City newspaper featured a story on Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). The story, published in The Daily Graphic, is the source of one of the best-known quotations concerning the vagaries of English punctuation:
I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
The source of this frequently cited Wilde quotation is an anecdote recounted by the newspaper article: Once on a trip to an English country house, Wilde was annoyed by the uncultured pronouncements of a fellow guest, who loudly proclaimed that artistic pursuits were a waste of time. As the two shared lunch, the Philistine guest asked Wilde what he had been up to all morning. Wilde replied saying, "I've been very busy all morning editing my book of poems."
The fellow guest followed up asking, "So have you made much progress?"
Wilde responded, "Yes, I took out a comma."
"Is that all you accomplished?" the guest inquired with disbelief and disgust.
"No, not at all," retorted Wilde, "After careful consideration, I put the comma back." (1)
As the anecdote and Wilde's quotation shows, even great writers have struggled with the most common and most vexing of all punctuation marks: the comma.
The problem is that commas are used in so many different situations that writers become overwhelmed. One solution to this problem is to specify each of the most frequently used applications of the comma and to name each of these applications as a distinct type of comma.
Nine Types of Commas
Introductory Comma: A comma that separates a word or phrase at the beginning of a sentence from the sentence's main clause:
On a dark and stormy night, John sat in the library reading.

Financial Times: Boring Canada's Financial Tips for the World
James Flaherty, Canadian Finance Minister, recently wrote a commentary in the Financial Times titled Boring Canada's Financial Tips for the World. Certainly, the biggest news today is the global economic and financial meltdown, but Canada seemed to have minimized the impact as a result of its financial system and policies, which Flaherty describes as "boring". Yup, that is a good description of Canada in general 🙂 Boring is good, nothing wrong with boring.
Below is a picture of Flaherty (bottom left) at the Osaka Castle prior to the G8 Finance Ministers Meeting's Outreach Dinner on June 13, 2008 in Osaka, Japan, where they discussed international financial issues including energy, climate change and elimination of poverty in Africa.

Commentary: Boring Canada's Financial Tips for the World
By James Flaherty
Published: November 12 2008 19:51 | Last updated: November 12 2008 19:51
The financial crisis that began 14 months ago in the US has intensified and spread around the world, threatening to roll back economic progress that has been made over the past two decades. Governments have been responding in a co-ordinated fashion and will continue this work in the lead-up to the summit of the Group of 20 leading economies.
Few countries are as dependent on trade or as integrated into the global financial system as Canada. Yet our financial sector continues to weather the turbulence better than many other countries. This did not happen by chance. Canadians by nature are prudent and our financial system has been characterized as unexciting. Canada's regulatory regime ensures that stability and efficiency are balanced. As a result, Canadian taxpayers have not had their money put at risk in response to this crisis. If Canada's financial system is boring, perhaps the world needs to be more like Canada.
Before we examine grand designs for global regulatory regimes, we need to recognize that good regulation begins at home. Effective national regulatory regimes could have prevented this crisis and must be our first line of defense against any future one. We all need to draw lessons from those systems that worked well and apply them to our national regulatory regimes.
First, we need to regulate all pools of capital that rely on leverage. The crisis has demonstrated the devastating impact that unregulated entities can have. Transparency requirements must be the price of admission to global markets. Different financial services may have different regulatory requirements, but we need to bring them all under a regulatory umbrella.
Second, capital and liquidity buffers need to be large enough to handle big shocks. Moreover, regulators must restrain overall use of leverage. Some have criticized high Canadian capital requirements for banks as being too conservative. But the strong balance sheets of Canada's banks through this period speak for themselves.
Third, it is not enough for regulation to look at individual institutions. It needs to look at the system as a whole. Risks that may appear sensible in isolation can be unsustainable from a systemic perspective. This systemic vantage point must be used to mitigate any tendency to underestimate risk when times are good. This requires co-ordination across the government, central bank and regulatory agencies.
Fourth, we need to make market infrastructure more transparent and resilient. Non-transparent over-the-counter trades and naked short-selling reduced the stability of the system.
This crisis has demonstrated that even countries with strong financial systems can feel the effects of inadequate regulatory regimes elsewhere. Countries may hesitate to impose new requirements on their own institutions if these measures will create a competitive disadvantage. This points to the importance of the fifth step: strengthening international co-ordination, review and surveillance to create a better second line of defense. Canada was a pioneer of the joint International Monetary Fund-World Bank financial sector assessment programme. This independent review of domestic financial systems should be mandatory and public. We need to strengthen the role of international colleges of supervisors to ensure better understanding of systemic risks and to co-ordinate national actions. We need IMF surveillance with teeth. Countries must live up to their responsibilities to support global financial stability and growth. Nowhere is this more important than in correcting global imbalances through appropriate exchange rate and macroeconomic policies to support growth.
The process of how we make decisions is equally important. In two decades of unprecedented growth, we have seen the emergence of dynamic new economic players that must be full participants at the global table. Canada took one of the largest share cuts of any country in the recent IMF reform exercise to ensure that emerging economies are better represented. This broader range of voices must be heard in other venues such as the Financial Stability Forum.
Together, these reforms must ensure that incentives are aligned to support stability and that resilience is built into the financial system.
The open market system did not fail in this crisis. However, some forgot Adam Smith's maxim that the invisible hand needs to be supported by an appropriate legal and regulatory framework. We need to work together to strengthen those frameworks, and that work must begin at home.

Pat Walls
Who are you? Where are you from? What's your backstory?
My name is Pat Walls, I'm 28 years old, and I am from Jackson Hole, Wyoming USA - although I've moved around for most of my life.
I haven't always been a developer. My backstory mostly consists of me jumping around different careers, interests, and hobbies. Over the last few years, I've been working mostly as a developer and entrepreneur and running some side businesses.
I'm really looking forward to this interview because there are so many unique ways people get into coding. Unlike many other professions, where there's usually a very clear path for success, coding is different, and I love that. I also love how ANYONE can learn.
But it also creates a lot of noise, people say "you should do this" or "you should do that". Different things work for different people, and this is what worked for me!
What made you get into programming?
Basically, I got into programming after feeling not challenged at work.
I was working at a tech company in San Francisco doing some technical work with enterprise software. Before that, I was doing accounting, so I really enjoyed this new more technical, creative work I was doing.
But quickly, I felt like I mastered the work, and I wanted a bigger challenge. I also didn't want to pigeonhole myself with these very specific enterprise software skills I was learning. I wanted to learn how to really code and build software.
This was about three years ago when boot camps were just starting to take off. I heard about a boot camp in San Francisco that guarantees you a job (or you don't have to pay at all), and I immediately signed up.
The boot camp was the most intense thing I've done in my life. I learned how to code and was "software engineer ready" in 3 months (well, I still sucked but impressive how much I learned in that short span of time).
After the boot camp, I got a job as a software engineer and the rest was history :)
What does your process for learning to code look like?
I'm a hack.
For me, I don't enjoy reading books, documentation, or other written stuff about programming. It's hard for me to grasp how the code works unless I get my hands dirty.
My attention span is short, and I find reading articles about programming to be like watching paint dry.
I learn by trying to code to solve whatever problem. That is when things "click" for me.
If I need to learn a new language or framework, I like to use tutorials that help me take things step by step until I can get the hang of things.
For me, just building stuff over and over helps me learn. I'm not very good at understanding how things work the first time around. It usually takes me a couple attempts.
For example, when I was trying to get better at React, I remember just working on lots of fun little projects which helped me improve.
What does your process for building apps look like?
I build all my apps in Ruby on Rails or React.
I learned this stack in my boot camp, and I don't have any particular interest in learning a new framework unless it's necessary (like I had to build a mobile app or something).
When I build an app, I usually start by implementing the absolute core features first, because I want to see if the thing I'm doing is actually possible or as cool as I think it is in my head - and we've all experienced how building that part is the most exciting as well.
Then I do a bunch of design stuff to try to make it look like how I envisioned. I like to implement things really quickly so I don't lose my original vision of how it looks and feels.
After that I do the boring stuff, like user login, meta tags, image uploads, etc etc.
My code is also extremely "hacky" as I always tell myself I'll fix it later, and usually don't. I'm pretty lazy like that.
Are you currently learning anything new?
Not any new frameworks, but with my projects, there always feels like there's something new I need to learn.
Like for example, I heard I need to use schema.org tags on all my pages? Lots of SEO stuff.
I try to automate as many things as possible, so I'm always learning more things around that, like handling workers, errors, retries, image asset generation, APIs, etc.
What's your tech stack?
- Rails
- React (Sometimes) for UI intense stuff
- Postgres
- Heroku
- Sidekiq
- S3 for storing files
- HAML templates
- Devise for user logins
- SendGrid for emails
- Sentry for error reporting
- New Relic & Google Analytics
- Bootstrap for design stuff
Advice for those learning to code?
Build your own projects!
If you're really new to coding, don't use codecademy - in my opinion, it's a dreadful way to learn.
Stop spending weeks reading up on the "fundamentals". Just dive right in and build stuff. Like I said earlier, getting my hands dirty really works well for me.
Sometimes the most painful thing (esp when you're new) is to just get your environment set up. Check out tutorials and YouTube videos for that. Also just google, copy/paste any time you get stuck and you'll eventually fix it :)

LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Hollywood and Mid-City April 24 to mark the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian genocide, which Turkey insists did not happen.
The first of two marches began at 10 a.m. in Hollywood, where a march organized by Unified Young Armenians originated near Hollywood Boulevard and Western Avenue in Little Armenia.
Thousands of chanting and flag-waving Armenians and their supporters flocked to the area, clogging Hollywood Boulevard for several blocks and leading to traffic nightmares for morning commuters who were met with closed streets.
After a rally, participants marched along Hollywood Boulevard, Normandie Avenue and Sunset Boulevard.
Meanwhile, a second rally, organized by the Armenian Genocide Committee, began around midday at Pan Pacific Park at 7600 Beverly Blvd., where thousands of people gathered for a march to the Turkish Consulate at 6300 Wilshire Blvd.
"Whenever there is a lie, we speak what? The truth," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told the crowd. "May our voices from Mount Hollywood be heard all the way on Mount Ararat. This community can not only not be silenced, this community can never, never be destroyed."
Road closures prompted by the massive protest kept traffic restricted around The Grove shopping center, the Fairfax District and south to Wilshire Boulevard for much of the day.
The Armenian genocide began in 1915 and resulted in the deaths of as many as 1.5 million Armenians in a campaign blamed on the Ottoman Turkish government. While the genocide has been chronicled by historians, who often view it as having been ethnic cleansing, Turkey has denied it occurred, saying the deaths of Armenians was a function of the chaos of World War I, which also claimed Turkish lives.
More than 200,000 people of Armenian descent live in Los Angeles County, making the Southland home to the largest Armenian community outside of Armenia. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, and Rep. Dave Trott, R-Michigan, last month introduced a resolution asking Congress to formally recognize the genocide.
"Over 100 years ago, the Ottoman Empire undertook a brutal campaign of murder, rape and displacement against the Armenian people that took the lives of 1.5 million men, women and children in the first genocide of the 20th century," Schiff said.
"Even today hundreds of thousands of religious minorities face existential threat from ISIS in Syria and Iraq. It is therefore all the more pressing that the Congress recognize the historical fact of the Armenian Genocide and stand against modern day genocide and crimes against humanity."
Despite the call, President Donald Trump — continuing a years-long tradition of U.S. presidents refusing to use the word "genocide" to describe the events — issued a statement proclaiming "Armenian Remembrance Day."
"Today, we remember and honor the memory of those who suffered during the Meds Yeghern, one of the worst mass atrocities of the 20th Century," Trump said. "Beginning in 1915, one and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred or marched to their deaths in the final years of the Ottoman Empire. I join the Armenian community in America and around the world in mourning the loss of innocent lives and the suffering endured by so many."
Schiff blasted the Republican president for failing to recognize the events as a "genocide." Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, also failed to recognize the genocide during his eight years in office, despite indications during his original campaign that he would do so.
"Today, we received a disappointing statement from yet another president, refusing to acknowledge the murder of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1923 for what it was — a genocide," Schiff said. "President Trump now joins a long line of both Republican and Democratic presidents unwilling to confront Turkey, and by refusing to do so, he has made the United States once again a party to its campaign of denial."

10 citizens held hostage in Philippines fine: Indonesian military chief
Mataram (ANTARA News) - The 10 Indonesians held hostage by the Abu Sayyaf group in the Philippines are still in that country and fine, Indonesias defense forces (TNI) commander General Gatot Nurmantyo stated here.
"According to information from the Philippine government until now the 10 Indonesian citizens are still fine," he said after conducting a rice harvest the village of Puyung in the district of Lombok Tengah, West Nusa Tenggara, Saturday (April 2).
TNI has been prepared in case the Philippines asked for help to deal with the crisis, he reiterated and added that it would all depend upon the decision of the Philippines.
The Philippines government has promised to the Indonesian government that it will do anything to get the hostages released, he said.
"We must appreciate the Philippines government for that and we must believe in it," he added.
TNI has so far been able to only monitor and await coordination with the Philippines regarding efforts to be taken to release the hostages, he said.
TNI could not enter the Philippines without a permit as the location where the hostages are held is within the territory of that country, he said.
TNI would only move in if there is a permit from the Philippines like when it entered Thailand to carry out the Woyla operation to release hostages, he said.
"We must believe in the Philippines, because when a hostage taking happens in our country we will also not allow any party to enter the country without coordination. Therefore, as neighbors we must respect and trust each other," he said.
If TNI were later asked to take efforts to release the hostages, they would prepare everything needed by the Philippines government, the general said.
"So, right now, TNI only waits and monitors. But if we are asked to help we are ready at any time," he said.
In view of that he called on the families of the hostages to be patient and pray for their health.
"Trust TNI with the matter," he said.

I can't help but admire the spider. OK, sure… big, scary ones give me the creeps. I really don't like their round bellies nor their hairy legs and, least of all, the thought that they might scurry over me or bite me. But, you have to admit… they are artists.
They make the finest, most delicate, thread and work tirelessly, weaving it into great works of beauty. Look at the geometric symmetry, the pretty patterns, the concentric circles of silverness.
The fragile strands that catch the dew to make the morning sparkle. Spiders spin perfection.
When we saw this beautiful web this morning, we gasped in wonder. Kitty was enchanted. We talked about how pretty it was. We noticed how it hadn't been there the day before. We realized that it probably wouldn't be there tomorrow. I watched in wonder as the understanding settled upon her face. The spider had worked tirelessly to spin his web. Already, it had broken in several places and soon it would break apart completely… a person would swish it away, a dog would run past, his tail wagging into it. No matter… the spider would wait patiently under a leaf and, when it was his time again, he would spin another, even more beautiful masterpiece… rest and work… in-breath and out-breath.
Aah… the magic of nature.
Blessings and magic,
