If you've got any Sweet Basil plants that look like this, you're not dealing with a bug. You're dealing with a new blight on basil called Downy Mildew. And, unfortunately, we've got it.
Downy Mildew isn't knew in gardens; and it's been affecting cucumbers, squash and other vegetables for years. That Downy Mildew puts a white powdery cover over the leaves of the infected plant.
This Downy Mildew is a mildew of another ilk. It doesn't turn the Basil leaves white. It first turns them yellow, then brown and then they are dead; and, unfortunately, it's a rather new scourge in the U.S. having shown up in Florida in 2007 for the first time. What's its origin? Uganda, no less where it was first reported in 1933. So it looks like it took 81 years to become endemic around the world. The good news is it did take that long to become a worldwide problem.
"Basil growers may recall with frustration a similar situation years ago with another new disease: Fusarium wilt. In just a few years, as the cause of this wilt was being identified, the pathogen became endemic most likely as the result of marketing of contaminated seed. It also is possible that spread of the basil downy mildew pathogen occurred through marketing of infected, basil leaves that were asymptomatic during shipment. Basil in the US has become the leading culinary herb and is available year round."(Quote taken from Cornell University's Vegetable MD Online at: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/BasilDowny.html)
And it grows like weeds in aquaponics and hydroponics systems in both horizontal raft growing troughs and vertical growing systems, so identifying Downy Mildew early is important because it can take out an entire crop.
"Basil downy mildew is caused by the pathogen Peronospora belbahrii. This pathogen thrives in warm, humid conditions. It can move into the garden in infected seed or transplants or as airborne spores."(Quote taken from Cornell University's Vegetable MD Online at: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/BasilDowny.html)
"Plants infected with basil downy mildew first display yellowing of lower leaves. Upon close examination, gardeners will notice that the yellowing appears to occur in sections restricted by major veins. This causes a blocky or angular yellow sections on the leaf.
If the lower surface of the leaf is examined, dark colored spores can be seen as a dirty looking fuzz that grows directly below the yellow sections of the leaf. A small magnifying glass may be useful in viewing these spores. As the disease progresses, infected sections of the leaf turn dark brown to black and leaves may fall off. "(Quote taken from Cornell University's Vegetable MD Online at: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/BasilDowny.html)
We just tore an entire Deep Media Bed out of our Greenhouse that had both Sweet Basil and Cinnamon Basil growing in them; and both plants were infected. Sweet Basil is much more susceptible to Downy Mildew but the Spice varieties will also get it.
"The first step in preparing for basil downy mildew is learning the symptoms. Observing spores on the underside of leaves is key to diagnosis. There are other causes of leaf yellowing in basil. Spores are produced during the dark night period, therefore early morning is the best time to inspect basil for downy mildew. Leaves with yellowing resembling downy mildew but lacking spores can be placed upside down on wet paper towel in a closed plastic bag in dark for a day to encourage the pathogen if present to produce spores."(Quote taken from Cornell University's Vegetable MD Online at: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/BasilDowny.html)
"Using seed not infested with the basil downy mildew pathogen, selecting a less susceptible variety, and applying fungicides are the primary management practices for downy mildew. Minimizing leaf wetness and reducing humidity to obtain conditions unfavorable for disease development may suppress downy mildew, especially in greenhouses." (Quote taken from Cornell University's Vegetable MD Online at: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/BasilDowny.html)
Our mistake (again) was getting in a hurry to put seedlings into our Grow Beds and purchasing them from the Home Depot Garden Dept. instead of planting the seeds ourselves. One other time we did this, we ended up with a massive infestation of aphids in our Greenhouse. Hopefully, this time we learned our lesson.
Farmers need to regularly inspect their crops for signs of this scourge as once it's gotten a foothold, it's impossible to eradicate.
Thanks for following our Blog. We still consider ourselves gardening beginners around here and are sharing what we're learning as we go. Sorry to have to share bad news about a relatively new plant disease like Basil Downy Mildew.

At long last, workers are finding their services in demand. Job creation is up, the unemployment rate is at a multiyear low, and wages - at least for some workers - are finally starting to climb. Some workers are in such demand that they are getting multiple job offers, and companies with jobs to fill are finding that if they don't act fast, their top candidate might go elsewhere.
At long last, workers are finding their services in demand.
Job creation is up, the unemployment rate is at a multiyear low, and wages � at least for some workers � are finally starting to climb. Some workers are in such demand that they are getting multiple job offers, and companies with jobs to fill are finding that if they don�t act fast, their top candidate might go elsewhere.
But it�s not just skilled workers � engineers, nurses, information-technology professionals and the like � who have employers on their doorsteps. Truck drivers, warehouse workers and health-care aides are expected to find themselves in demand in coming years.
�In the professional and technical world (for those in fields such as engineering), you pretty much can find a job anywhere, anytime. That�s one of the strongest markets I�ve seen,� said Steve King, senior manager in the Columbus area for the staffing firm Kelly Services.
For those who don�t have those kinds of technical skills, there are ample opportunities, especially those with at least some experience who may not require much training, he said.
�They�re looking for people to come to work every day, to treat a job like a good job,� King said. �If they do, they tend to be successful.�
CareerBuilder worked with Economic Modeling Specialists to come up with a list of hot jobs for 2015, a list based on the number of job openings compared with the number of people available to fill them.
Among jobs that require a college degree, marketing executives are the most in-demand for this year. Next were software developer, registered nurse and industrial engineer.
Beyond those jobs, emerging fields in which demand for workers is rising include cybersecurity, robotics, alternative energy and mobile and search technology.
For people without a college degree, truck drivers are the most in demand. That category is followed by workers to set up displays in stores and at trade exhibitions, followed by sales representatives.
CareerBuilder says its job outlook for 2015 is the strongest since 2006, with more than a third of companies it surveyed expecting to hire full-time employees this year.
After many years of stagnant wages, many workers finally are in line to earn more money.
The survey found that 45 percent of the companies plan to raise their minimum wage this year, with many giving raises of $2 or $3 per hour. Workers also can boost their wages through additional training or acquiring a certification for a new skill that might qualify them for a promotion.
Ryan Hunt, a senior career adviser for CareerBuilder, said job postings are running about 20 percent higher than a year ago.
�Employers are looking for more people than three and four years ago,� he said. �It�s a good, forward-looking indicator for 2015.�
Health-care workers will continue to be in demand, especially therapists and registered nurses, Hunt said.
�It�s not really an industry that goes down because the economy goes down,� he said. �Demand (for) niche occupations in health care has grown exponentially.�
Lower-wage jobs in the sector, such as orderlies, also will be important because of the aging population that will need medical care, he said.
Sales and marketing jobs are making a comeback as businesses ramp up production of goods and services and need those workers to pitch their products, he said.
Truckers are in the greatest demand this year among occupations not requiring a degree � for a reason.
�It�s a hard job. It pays well, but you are on the road most of the time,� Hunt said.
�Trucking executives are pulling out all the stops to recruit people,� he said, and some are even paying for training as part of an effort to bring new people into the industry.
More construction workers likely will be needed in 2015 as the housing sector continues to recover and people spend more money on their homes, he said.
The state, too, keeps a list of the jobs in demand, a measure designed in part to help direct job-training funds and to help Ohioans identify potential job opportunities and careers.
Regardless of education, the top jobs overall are registered nurses, office clerks, customer-service representatives, truck drivers and orderlies.
For those with a four-year degree, the top jobs are accountants, computer system analysts, market research analysts and specialists, software developers and sales representatives.
Expected openings in coming years reflect how the state�s economy has changed.
Manufacturing no longer employs the largest number of workers. It is third now, trailing the private education and health-care sector and the professional and business-services sector.
Private education and health care employs 888,600 workers, followed by 710,400 in professional and business services, with 682,300 workers in manufacturing.
And the jobs in manufacturing have changed. They require more math and technical skills than in the past, so workers can make sure equipment operates properly.
�Our economy is becoming more diversified, and that�s good,� said Coretta Pettway, labor market information chief for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. �Manufacturing is a major part of our economy and will continue to be.�
The Ohio economy is expected to add 455,000 jobs between 2012 and 2022, according to a state report. In addition, openings will be created by people quitting jobs or retiring.
The report said there will be 178,000 job openings annually, 70 percent of which will come from people who leave the workforce or switch jobs.

Leibniz' Creatio ex Nihilo and the Metaphysics of Data
a psuedophilosophical take on optimistic data science
I have always believed firmly in three things:
that the greatest in life is finding answers to your questions;
that magic exists, but not quite in the way we'd like;
and that math is like the ocean.
Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646–1716) was a prominent German polymath who made great and strange advancements in many fields — primarily mathematics, logic, physics, ethics and theology. Among other things, he is credited with discovering calculus (simultaneously and independently of Newton), and codifying systems exploring determinants and infinitesimals. From his attempts to build a mechanical universal calculator and studies into theories of information storage, he also may have been the very first computer scientist.
The road Leibniz traveled, however, was winding; his writings and inventions are manifold and seemingly disparate. He would carefully denote three pages of a treatise on calculating the area under a function, and then switch to a logical proof of the existence of God. Faced with diverse fields and seemingly conflicting ideas, the man constantly sought synthesis as a solution to the great questions of his time. This attitude of combinatory academia would guide him well in his forays into untraveled avenues of thought.
Base Ideas
Leibniz' core philosophy can be best described by two ideas:
1) All our ideas are compounded from a very small number of simple ideas, which form the alphabet of human thought.
2) Complex ideas proceed from these simple ideas by a uniform and symmetrical combination, analogous to arithmetical multiplication.
(Russell, Bertrand (1900). A Critical Exposition of the Philosophy of Leibniz. The University Press, Cambridge)
If this sounds familiar, it's because we do this sort of thing every day. We take complex thoughts and actions, mental and physical phenomena, and do our best to represent it mathematically in bits. We store, combine and transform those bits to move information, to direct machinery, to live our lives.
Base 2
One of the most significant of Leibniz' works is his investigation and formalization of the binary system. He documented the base 2 system early in his life, and would further develop the idea later on.
An avid sinophile, Leibniz delved into Chinese texts to study their theological and metaphysical ideas. In the I Ching, an ancient Chinese book of divination techniques, he saw that the complex system of hexagrams used numerical duality to represent figures from 0 to 111111.
This duality was formed from the dichotomy of yin and yang, which Leibniz interpreted as 0 and 1, or nothing and something. To him, this was essentially the same original dichotomy the Church spoke of; that God had created the universe from nothing. Leibniz viewed the divinatory use of binary numbers as further evidence of the metaphysical relationship between mathematics and theology (Had he known, he would surely have been similarly amazed by binary usage in ancient India and Polynesia centuries before).
All questions could surely be understood, Leibniz had thought, if only we had some bridge, some means of unifying what we believe to be irreconcilable fields of study. Now he had found his bridge.
In his Explication de l'Arithmétique Binaire (Explanation of the Binary Arithmetic) Leibniz laid out what he saw as a divine system to transform verbal logic into mathematical statement. Abstract verbal statements could represent the concrete world, and if these words could be precisely translated into logical, mathematical expressions, the world could be reduced and reckoned with math. He reasoned:
1) All things can be reduced to numbers.
2) All numbers can be reduced to 1 and 0, which represent something and nothing.
3) Thus, all things in the world are composed of something and nothing: 1 and 0.
"[A concept that] is not easy to impart to the pagans, is the
creatio ex nihilo through God's almighty power. Now one can
say that nothing in the world can better present and demonstrate
this power than the origin of Numbers, as it is presented here
through the simple and unadorned presentation
of One and Zero or Nothing."
(Leibniz in a letter to Duke Rudolph of Brunswick, 1697)
If all things are composed of something and nothing, or 1 and 0, Leibniz reasoned that this must prove that God created the universe (something) from nothing. A perfect duality (which leads to some interesting speculation towards dark matter & antimatter, among other things) that could unify mathematics, philosophy and theology in pursuit of the ultimate questions of life.
Interestingly, he also wrote that the sum of an infinite series of 0s must equal one-half, in accordance with the above logic of creation. This still evades me.
The reduction of all things to 1 and 0 resonates more than ever in the times we live in. The world is rapidly becoming ever more digitized, as we gather more data, and data scientists derive more data from data, data about data. Our vast, complex world — measured, laid out in 1 and 0.
What would Leibniz think about these vast mountains of data we accrue?
Optimistic Creation
If we observe the mathematical derivation of metadata, conclusions and insights from existing datasets, it is easy to see why Leibniz believed so deeply in his creatio ex nihilo:
We start with something, apply formulas and models, and end with something else (while also preserving the original something).
If we start at total_data_amount = 100, derive some more data and some conclusions, and end with total_data_amount = 200: Have we created something from nothing?
We end with more than we began with, yet nothing was destroyed or transmuted — except for some numbers which we ourselves supplied and transformed.
One could reasonably argue that the data we derived was in existence the entire time, and our efforts merely revealed it to us, like discovering change between couch cushions.
I am more inclined to the optimistic view — that the revelation of some previously unknown information is analogous to the creation of something new (though this is quite different between cases of mathematical derivation and, say, archeological digs), at least for our human purposes.
It's optimistic because the visualization of the world in 1 and 0 allows us to apply math to anything. These representations are imperfect (can our colours be perfectly described by 8 bits?), but they have yielded wondrous inventions: programs that can discern between images of dogs and cats, algorithms that predict illnesses from genomic data, all done with remarkable accuracy.
Until science can demonstrate with certainty within which cells of the brain a thought lies, and dissect the exact mechanisms behind visualizing a number in your mind, abstract thought and data remains to me a soundly metaphysical issue.
That's why I love reading of Leibniz' attempts to identify the components, the raw rationality of existence. He was a man who wanted answers to his questions, and he saw maths as a tool to analyze all things, even thought and divinity.
I've always suspected something mysterious behind the face-value complexity of mathematical systems. They confuse the hell out of me, sure, but with time and effort you can beat linear regression or vector multiplication into anyone's head; it's exactly that confusion that matters. After you've pushed through the initial complexity, math has a disconcerting tendency of making sense in a simple, beautiful and terrifying way.
Where did the concept of numbers come from? Did we invent them, or merely discover them? When all the earth had was amoebas wriggling around in primordial ooze, did they have numbers? Were they different from ours?
It seems to deviate deeply from what we believe about the laws of creation, conservation of energy and the like. Numbers have to exist — otherwise we're just conjuring up figures out of nowhere, transforming and creating ideas from nothing.
That's why I've come to see maths as a sort of drab magic. There's many people who could talk at length about rational explanations for the existence of math, and they have quite convincing arguments; perhaps numbers and data are just means of structuring out thoughts, bioelectrical impulses ceaselessly carving and creating themselves anew.
But we're far off from laying bare all the mysteries of the universe, and ignorance is bliss, so I continue moving numbers about happily. When we do figure it all out, I'm sure I'll have more things to be happy about.

FUTURE CQ: Projects that could change our future
FROM a beef processing facility to a coal gasification project and solar farms, there are several projects proposed for the Gladstone region.
Gladstone Region mayor Matt Burnett said at the recent Future CQ forum the region's future population was dependent on big projects going ahead. It comes as leading demographer Bernard Salt's analysis of Queensland Government statistics found Gladstone's population would grow by just two per cent between now and 2030.
Cr Burnett said Mr Salt was not seeing the documents coming in to the council's office for proposed projects for the region.
Here are a few projects proposed for the Port City:
Beef processing facility:
Asia Pacific Agri-Corp received State Government approval in September 2018 for its state-of-the-art $260 million beef processing plant and renewable energy facility.
The project, to be located at the Gladstone State Development Area, will feature a meat processing plant powered by an on-site renewable energy facility. It is expected to create 360 jobs during construction and 380 ongoing jobs.
It's believed it is on track to start construction by mid 2019.
Australia Future Energy
The proposed $1 billion Gladstone Energy and Ammonia Project was announced in September last year.
The plant is planned to be built in the Gladstone State Development Area, near Yarwun, with construction expected to start mid-2020.
Australia Future Energy estimates the project would create 800-1000 construction jobs and up to 250 ongoing jobs.
The project proposes to convert low-quality coal into ammonia and domestic gas.
Lifestyle Village
One of the pioneering families of the region, the Mann family, want to build and operate Station Creek Lifestyle Village near Benaraby.
The $300m project is aimed at homing active retirees and would offer garages big enough to fit a caravan.

Speak Life lyrics
I pray thee, I pray thee once again
I wonder to be surrounded by ones with such talent
You know
Speak life
Live a humble and meek life
Ordinary day of the week life
Try to search and seek life
Way up
Keep your head up and stay up
Even when you sore and pain love
Never giving up till its game up
Keep your aim up
And focus
Don't concentrate on what's bogus
Never sell out for a bonus
Handle your bis like grown ups
Own up
It's amazing
The way Jah fire keeps blazing
That's why I constantly praise him
For some of them it's a phase thing
So they're gazing
On the street lights
Till dem catch up in street fights
'Cause are pretending they're street wise
And put an end to a brief life
I feel like
It's a mystery
How we can keep repeating our history
Making the same mistakes as our ancestry
Seem like all of life lessons missed with
It's risky
So give praises
One day you may find your oasis
Rise up to the challenge you're faced with
Be a pool and creative
You'll make it
Its basics
People been doing it for ages
Many other cultures and places
On the regular basis
They're so many cases
Lets face it (man)
Way too much time has been wasted (man)
Building military bases
Fighting our war with no basis
Life is sacred
And every baby born naked
Some a nah gwaan like dem raise big
And don't care what they're making
They can't take it
So speak life (man)
All this darkness no feel right (man)

Driver Diagram
What is it?
A driver diagram is a way of visualising the 'drivers' or forces behind what is going to make an improvement. It's a way of grouping together change ideas so that you can get a bigger picture about what you're working on.
Click on diagrams to enlarge
Why use it?
A driver diagram can be used to see how change ideas link into the improvement aim. It helps to show which parts of the system need changing according to the whole team, not just one person. A driver diagram helps to provide some order and themes to the ideas that you want to test.
It helps to understand the current system and to develop the aim and change ideas.
How to use it?
There are a number of ways of getting started with a driver diagram. It works best as a group exercise with people who use the system and personally experience the element you are trying to improve.
Have a look at the tips on the NES website for more information.
Start with your aim written on one side of the page. Think about specific things you could do to achieve this aim (e.g. 'Have a designated whole team coffee break once a week' is a change idea, 'improve work culture' isn't).
It can be useful to write these ideas on post-it notes as you want to be flexible with them later.
As you create change ideas, put them on the opposite side to the paper as the aim.
Once you have a few change ideas, look over them all and see if you can find any themes. These are broader and less specific (e.g. culture, equipment, communication). Group your change ideas together with these headings. These are your primary drivers.
Some of your primary drivers may be 'big' concepts and could be broken down further. For example, if thinking about 'communication' as a primary driver, this could be broken down into internal communication and external communication.
As you go along, you might come up with new change ideas. Make sure you add them to your page.

Contact us
You are welcome to email us if you want to get advice on our solutions or services.
Often we decide upon our toddler Joey (nearly 37) utilizing special requirements. His narrative as it intertwines with our life and the existence of our some daughters can be something people share with other folks to give pray, comfort, and also encouragement. The idea hasn't been effortless, often not fun, and rarely use comfortable, however we've almost all tried to generate choices which can be right in light of this trip on which the Lord has united states.
With these views in mind, I have to spend on this occasion blogging around our daughters Kristina and also Kathleen. They're very normal in terms of most of their childhood progression but they are very incredible with regard to their personality!
In the midst of several things our normal kids still cannot or don't get to do with the family mechanics of having your sibling along with special demands, I know all of our girls had got to do almost all of what they was going to do. Nonetheless, I also am fully aware of the times involving sacrifice by them mainly because life ended up being put on carry and they am not able to go or possibly do specified things. With no going into info on all those periods and all things, let me tell you exactly what that loss, doing with out, not getting to carry out, and helping did….
We certainly have 2 from the kindest and even sweetest teenagers as siblings for Joey syrian women for marriage. Joe and that i can't get credit intended for how they ended up, because many of us honestly see that they were fashioned by the Head of the family by giving individuals our Joey. They love and care so much for their brother, which has been obviously seen with how they really like and care for him, however , how they adore and cover others.
In the early days I remember "catching the women tying Joey's shoelaces while not being asked, or maybe helping your pet in the restroom without being advised. Later they would help within things like "Joey-sitting that were a new blessing to be able to us considering that we could leave knowing that they knew how to care for your ex, and that they would probably do it effectively!
I thought a time as soon as Kristina (a tiny gal) went good full kitchen table of big serious high school basketball where to buy cbd oil for dogs in southern california players plus reprimanded these individuals for looking to entice the male college with Along Syndrome to do something he / she shouldn't! The woman marched to certainly the dinner table, tapped often the ring standard on the shoulder along with scolded them and his tough-guy friends, make the student utilizing Down Malady straight that the guys wasn't "nice and not being "nice to your ex. I am not aware of all that developed afterwards although I do know often the table was basically silenced. (Way to go! ) She didn't see it occur again.
I possess watched this Kathleen place people direct (usually in a very loving way) not to stare or generate fun throughout words (like calling individuals "retard) or simply action (like not being variety or helpful). She has been one to view things on the corner regarding her vision and take care of it directly!
Now i'm thankful for these gals, not only for keeping up for their own brother whilst others, but as they are also two of the most "welcoming people I am aware. They desired people to their lives and even homes while not reserve. These people watch different peoples kids (and creatures! ) plus reach out when they see a have. Need a dish? Need a ride? Need help? Most are there. And they're here for individuals, too.
They've learned (at age correct times) the way to help Joey with his daily care (showering, toileting as needed, shaving, etc . ) and the way to do it which doesn't demean him or her, but is useful. They know he can make things, however , that other stuff he just can't figure out…. and they are aware to know that will fine collection to allow the pup his integrity and yet they understand his or her inabilities. They are really caring, vulnerable, helpful, together with attentive.
I really could go on, still I won't! For any families within the early stop of tending to one by using special desires, you might not imagine what So i'm telling you is true. But since we (as parents) product and guideline our children appropriately in the methods to the Lord (kindness, goodness, and so forth ), we will have results afterwards that are gift ideas. Our daughters would be carefully selected presents to us with or without your Joey, however having enjoyed them establish and raise into godly caring most women, now committed to fantastic romanian brides men (a blog great day! ) is a little something we could you are able to anticipated. Therefore , hang inside young parents…. the time WILL COME! Check out the Lord perform in the day-to-day lives of your old classic and atypical children… and look for the amazing to show upwards when you the bare minimum expect it all!

American Life in Poetry: 'Old Country Portraits'
Sat., Jan. 26, 2019
There are so many fine poems in Richard Robbins' new and selected poems, "Body Turn to Rain," published by LynxHouse Press, that I had a difficult time choosing one to show you. This one, though, with its tablecloth trick, is one of my favorites. Robbins lives in Mankato, Minnesota, and teaches at Minnesota State.
Old Country Portraits
My lost sister used to try the trick
with the tablecloth, waiting until
the wine had been poured, the gravy boat filled,
before snapping the linen her way
smug as a matador, staring down
silver and crystal that would dare move,
paying no mind to the ancestor gloom
gliding across the wallpaper like clouds
of a disapproving front—no hutch
or bureau spared, no lost sister sure
the trick would work this time, all those she loved
in another room, nibbling saltines,
or in the kitchen, plating the last
of the roast beef. How amazed they would be
to be called to the mahogany room
for supper, to find something missing,
something beautiful, finally, they could
never explain, the wine twittering
in its half-globes, candles aflutter, each
thing in its place, or so it seemed then,
even though their lives had changed for good.

I was just trying to find out the latest about President Samuel Thomas who was recently arrested in India for taking care of orphans. The bad news, the Hopegivers website is down, the good news is that according to the Religion News Summary from Crosswalk President Thomas is reporting, "... that he had not been mistreated but that he was worried about EMI's orphanage and the hospital."
Please remember Dr. Thomas in your prayers, and if you have not yet taken action on his behalf, please click to our previous blog entry for information on how you can write a letter on his behalf.

The 3 juveniles continue to provide much entertainment.
I watched them for over an hour this evening (Sat 29th June) flying around St Mary, St James and the Taunton Cricket Ground. This birds are "playing" at all altitudes ranging from high up to Street Level. I watched one so low that it flew around one of the bins in the Canon Street Car Park. They do seem to enjoy the Cricket Ground.
The action tonight from the Juvenile birds (no adults about), aided by a gentle westerly breeze included:
Peregrine on Peregrine: 1 on 1, 2 on 1, 1 on 2, or just formation flying of all three
Peregrine on Gull
Gull on Peregrine
Peregrine chasing Swift.
Hide and Seek on the Cricket Club Floodlights
Hide and Seek around the Towers.
Flushing birds at low level from the trees and bushes.
Hovering, I'm not convinced that this had any future practical purpose and was done just for fun!
For me just fascinating to watch and clearly these three will be catching their own food soon.
All birds disappeared from sight around 19:30.
Hi everyone, I thought that it would be worth providing a brief update on the breeding Peregrine Falcons in Taunton.
1. Four eggs were laid between 31st March and 7th April
2 All four hatched between 9th May and 11th May. Sadly one of the chicks died after a couple of days.
3. JN (Tiercel) has proved to be an ace provider of food with plenty of prey being brought back to the tower.
4. JY (Falcon) is a brilliant mum and has superbly looked after the juveniles. She has often been seen chasing Gulls away from the Church Tower.
5. The three juveniles were ringed blue RX, RY and RZ on 30th May. They were all sexed as Male.
6. All three successfully fledged around 18th to 20th June, with RY proving to be the most accomplished flyer and has been seen chasing prey around the tower.
7 JY and JN continue to bring in prey to the now rather noisy juveniles.
If you are in Taunton, it is well worth stopping by and enjoying the Peregrines.
Also, one additional point is the JY has perfected the art of grabbing prey off the vertical walls of the Church Tower. I have spent many hours watching there birds this year and have very occasionally seen her coming in low and then accelerate upwards before pinning her prey against the stone walls. It's quick and over in seconds, but stunning to see in real life. Sometimes she drops vertically from the top of tower to flush birds before doing a quick 180 to grab prey.
Many thanks to SOS for supporting this project.
Robin (on behalf of the Taunton Peregrine Project)

Family carrot cake- from allergen filled to allergen safe
Finding top 8 allergen free and vegan baked goods ready made are very hard to find especially when you try to search for a carrot cake. Most store bought carrot cakes are super moist, delicious, and filled with nuts and slathered with cream cheese frosting. Heavenly for most but for those with food restrictions it's just not an option.
My family, of course, has their own famous carrot cake recipe with all that deliciousness but again, not safe. The cake is so amazing that it was the most requested item for my mom when she had her own home cake decorating business.
One of my favorite decorated cakes she made was a huge sheet cake with a rabbit coming out of a magician's hat. It was beautiful and decorated with all cream cheese frosting and tempered chocolate. Not a single piece of fondant to be seen. As you can see the baking and decorating gene is strong in my family!
The great thing about this cake recipe is that it is already dairy free which I always find ironic because you always need to cover it in the sweet and tangy cream cheese frosting. The only complicated part was the egg replacements- the original recipe calls for four eggs! But with my husband's simple solution, cut the recipe in half, it was just a few simple ingredient swaps.
As with all my allergen baking, cakes turn into muffins to ensure that everything bakes properly, and it was the same texture and taste I remember but now vegan and top 8 allergen free!
I may try to play around with shapes and sizes of this recipe because it converted so easily- who doesn't like mini carrot cake loafs or donuts? Stay tuned for other adventures down the rabbit hole of allergen free carrot cakes!
They tasted just like I remembered them

Another Rare Early Metallica Recordings Unearthed (and streaming online)
Official Metallica historian Bob Nalbandian states it for the record: "For Metallica fans, this was definitely the rarest, and earliest, material to ever surface. No one knew this recording even existed, since original bassist Ron McGovney had the only copy of this garage practice session (this tape was too crude even be labeled a demo!).
"The tape features the Diamond Head covers "Sucking My Love," "Helpless" and "Am I Evil" (the latter two which Metallica later re-recorded and released commercially), and their very first original tune, "Hit the Lights." Recorded in Ron's garage in March of '82 (two months after the band was formed) by suspending a $49.00 ghetto blaster in the air, and with James singing through the guitar amp..." - Listen to the extremely rare track here

We have a wonderful neighborhood coffeehouse/pub that is a regular gathering place for those who live nearby. It is essentially my second kitchen - as we are there several times a week for coffee, breakfast or dinner. There are several large tables which seat about a dozen people - it is what my husband, who spent 18 months living in Germany calls a stammtisch.
|Photo credit: Scarlet Mare Studio
The past couple of times we've run into Jonathan at breakfast on the weekend, I've been in my sweats, sans earrings. Last Sunday, as we were headed out the door, I thought I'd better wear a pair, just in case. I was wearing an aqua colored hoodie, so I grabbed these wire
He also had a surprise for me - two pairs of beautiful sapphire and oxidized silver earrings! He said this is a new design for him - and he explained to me how the earrings were crafted (and I use that word very intentionally - jewelry artists are craftspeople) - rolling out the silver from the ingot, hand forming the bowl and bezel, oxidizing the silver for color, setting the stones and fixing the earwire. I love them - and will be wearing them a lot.
I think the universe is on my side. Til next time...

I went to the music session in the Guest House last night, the first night of Cask Ale Week, and decided to try the Allgates Jabba The Hop (4.3%) and then Allgates Planet of the Hops (4.4%). Apart from the wonderful Brightblade, I haven't been wild on some of the Allgates beers I've tried, but I enjoyed these two, which I gather are seasonal ales. Others were liking them as well, and the Jabba soon ran out. Allgates have won an award for their original pump clips, so here is one.
It was a good lively music session, and Gail came around with plates of chips, sausages and pies, always welcome after a couple of pints. There's usually a good atmosphere in the Guest House when the music session is going well. After all the folk music, I ended up singing "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Teenager In Love", after which I definitely heard someone muttering the phrase "Trades Descriptions Act".
Tonight, the Southport Swords are dancing at the Guest House. Come along and support both your local pub and your local longsword and morris side.

wish I could be there. Gail is a marvel, those chips and sausage rolls always appear at the right time. I had an Allgates there not so long ago, thing it was called Young Pretender. It was super hop and citrus, and I was very upset when it ran outReplyDelete
Yes, I remember the Young Pretender being on. Don't worry ~ Lent will soon be over!ReplyDelete

Could there ever be a coup — that is, an overthrow of the government through military or political action — in the United States? As Venezuela is poised to become the first country — in this hemisphere, at least — to be the scene of a coup in nearly a decade, as reported by The Inquisitr, it's a question worth considering. This is especially true in light of the divisive political climate in this country, one which has, at times, resulted in violence.
As it turns out, there isn't a quick and easy answer to this question. The line between coup, revolution, and civil war is pretty thin. So, depending on your definitions, there have already been two coups in the U.S., once from 1775 through 1783 and again from 1861 through 1865.
Could there be a third?
The military absolutely does not wield political power
Most of the recent coups in modern history have involved, to one degree or another, military factions seizing or consolidating power. Such was the case in Niger, where, in 2010, soldiers stormed the capital. These forces arrested a president with designs of becoming a dictator.
That's not going to happen in the U.S. — at least, not without a complete institutional failure of the military's chain of command.
Speaking to Cracked, Colonel David Couvillon explained that military personnel — officers especially — are taught from day one that it is not their job to mix their work with politics.
"It's ingrained… you're not the brownshirts, you're not the Gestapo, you're not the kempe thai, or any of the other strong-armed people… [in] the military, um, the posse comitatus rules are golden. They adhere to those consistently."
Posse Comitatus, in this instance, refers to laws passed following the Civil War that prohibit the military from upholding domestic laws.
But what about an armed civilian rebellion?
With a military takeover of the government all but out of the question, is an armed civilian rebellion within the realm of possibility?
Certainly, and in fact, small-scale armed rebellions have taken place in this country, even in the past few years. Look no further than the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon. There, in 2016, armed anti-government protesters took over federal property and held it for a few weeks.
The "rebellion," such as it was, was peacefully put down by law enforcement, rather than by the military. There was only one death — one of the occupants was shot and killed when he allegedly reached for a firearm.

???? Grab your headphones. You'll want to hear this. https://t.co/Al5TvF1DSs
But what if, for example, a similar armed conflict took place in a populated area, rather than a remote government building?
So far, it hasn't happened, although there have been a couple of instances in recent memory that may have come close.
For example, there was Charlottesville, Virginia's "Unite The Right" rally in 2017. This rally saw thousands of white supremacists and neo-Nazis, many of them armed, descend upon the city for two days of protests. Those protests ended in one civilian death, that of a counter-protester who was killed when a member of the alt-right drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters. Fortunately, the situation was put down without either side firing shots at one other, or at law enforcement.
Presidents are supposed to unite, not divide. The rally President @realDonaldTrump refuses to condemn was about hate. The President knows that.https://t.co/qqXOkwdXLN— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) April 26, 2019
Similarly, the National Guard was called to the city of Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. There, they were charged with helping to put down large-scale riots in the St. Louis suburb. Again, no shots were fired, and unlike Charlottesville, the Ferguson unrest ended without any deaths. The body of one activist protester was found at the scene, but his death was considered a homicide — and is not believed to have been the result of having been killed by troops or by law enforcement.
Perhaps a bloodless coup?
Affecting an overthrow of the government through peaceful means is not out of the question. India gained its independence from Britain largely through non-violent methods.
Here in the United States, such a movement would require massive mobilization not seen since the civil rights movement — or perhaps even the Civil War. And is there the political will in the U.S. to make it happen?
So far, the answer appears to be a resounding "no." The largest protests to have taken place in the U.S. in recent years were the 2017 and 2018 anti-Trump Women's Marches — which brought out between 3.2 million and 5.2 million people, depending on varying estimates — per The Washington Post.
If an event, such as the passage of an intensely unpopular law or the election of an intensely unpopular president, were to predicate another such protest — perhaps on an even larger scale — it's theoretically possible that a bloodless coup could be started.
However, a bloodless coup requires those in power to realize that holding power puts them on the losing end of the cost-benefit analysis, and to agree to step down peacefully. Since nothing of the sort has ever happened in the United States, it's impossible to look to history for a precedent.
The takeaway
Coups are generally predicated by tension between military factions, tension between ethnic and/or religious groups, or the result of protest against dictatorial rule.
So far, here in the U.S., the military is as unified and stable as it's ever been, and that is unlikely to change. The tensions between the right and the left in the U.S. run deep, but not nearly as deeply as they do between belligerent ethnic or religious groups like in, say, Rwanda or Yemen. And though Donald Trump is an unpopular president — one who has made some moves that seem dictatorial, such as declaring the free press the "enemy of the people" — so far, he is nowhere near to being the textbook definition of a dictator. He has not caused large-scale protests that have shut down entire cities and have lasted for weeks or months, such as took place in Egypt in response to Hosni Mubarek's dictatorial rule.
Long-story short, it would take a series of failures in our military, political, and social infrastructure before a anything resembling a coup might take place. In other words, a coup in the U.S. is extremely unlikely, but is certainly not outside the realm of possibility.

Along with Woman's Weekly, I'm a great believer in hints and tips. I do love to experiment and I'm only too eager to share my findings with the world. Mostly my friends and family are not over interested in raising grain on wood, new papers or alum as a mordant, but there are a whole bunch of people out there who are. To that end I run a page on Facebook and if this sounds like a cheap ad then I'll come clean, it is. Join me at Laura Boswell Printmaker and I'll tell you all sorts of things which may come in handy with your printmaking.
Not all artists feel the same about this. My favourite horror story came from a weekend student who had asked a technical question about the printmaking she was learning and was told by her artist-teacher that she 'couldn't expect to be handed everything on a plate'. I had a chat about this with a class of eleven year olds recently and was told in no uncertain terms 'if you tell all your secrets Miss, then other people will do it too'.
Fortunately for me there are fairly big odds stacked against me being replaced, whatever secrets I tell. I arrive at my images by a process which is a complete mystery to me. I have a feel for how I want things to look, nothing as clear as a mental picture, and I simply strike out in that direction. It's not much of a road map and I'm fairly sure that other artists are way more interested in taking their own journey, not mine.
The other issue is sheer hard boring work. A marathon runner can tell you what shoes to wear, which drinks to use, how to interval train, but it's you who has to get out there and suffer the running. Printmaking is a hard, long, precise slog with many, many mistakes and disappointments before you get to the point where 'it looks easy' and that takes serious passion. Add to that the work of being self employed: the pitches, the marketing, the paperwork, the logistics of exhibitions, the rejections, the teaching prep etc. Frankly not many people will be up for that. Most people are sensibly happy to print as an adjunct to normal life and if they are in it for the long haul then, like me, they need all the help they can get.
So, I'll keep on being open and excited to share everything I do. Frankly if I help in making printmaker's lives a bit easier then great, I'm proud to do that. I've been on the receiving end of enough brilliant advice in my time to be only too happy to pass some along.

Embellished Cropped Top - ASOS(exact) | Tulle Skirt - ASOS (exact) | Flats - ASOS(similar)
"I believe we think more deeply about the universe when we're falling in love. I think the mysterious pull that draws you to another person is identical to the one that moves our eyes upward to the stars." - The Universe of Us.
I love poetry and I find it to be one of the most honest use of language. I'm currently reading the Universe of Us and it's been such a treat so far. There's something about being able to connect with a poem and getting comfort from feeling seen or understood.
I've been juggling a lot of projects lately, and I find myself struggling to find time to truly relax. It almost seems like even when I'm asleep, my mind is still in problem solving mode, but, getting lost in poetry always seems to bring me back to sanity. Another thing that helps, being able to write and reminisce about pleasant memories, like I had during this shoot!
This post is way overdue! I saw this two piece outfit from Asos a while back, and had to get my hands on it. The cropped top is so beautifully embellished with beads and sequins, and the matching tulle skirt is simply a dream to walk in. As you may already know, I'm obsessed with all pieces that have a whimsical/romantic flare to them. I opted for a fitting whimsical backdrop, to highlight the mood of the outfit, and Allegra as always beautifully captured this moment. :)
Stay Smart; Stay Beautiful,

By William Coleman
Since meeting Truma's Managing Director, Martin Fitzpatrick, on the Bailey of Bristol #Bristanbul tour last year, myself and the CaravanTimes team have spent quite a lot of time getting to know the team behind one of the industries biggest on board heating and air con manufacturers. We wanted to find out more about how they make and fit their products and last week we got the chance to visit their HQ to see where all the magic happens.
Truma have offices in 5 countries around the world where they deal with a whole range of Truma products, design, R&D, manufacturing and fitting. I visited their Darby site to see how the team put together units and then fit aftermarket systems to caravans and motorhomes.
One thing that I was not aware of was just how large Truma's warehouse is, it really is absolutely enormous and has a good amount of staff running the well oiled operation. The size of it reminded me of the last scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where they store the Ark, row after row of goodies.
Within the warehouse you have teams putting together products before they are then boxed for sales or fitted to vans that are booked in for aftermarket fixtures. It was an eye opening to see the products I have used for years being assembled.
While I was at Truma Lee Davey, Mr TinTent himself, was booked in to have a new air-con unit fitted to his Bailey Phoenix 760. I was quite interested in how the aftermarket fitting process would work and what actually needs to be done to mount and install a rooftop unit.
The process really is quite surgical and once the unit is fitted you'd think it came from the factory with it already in place. They really do a fantastic job in quite a short amount of time. Something as simple as removing a sky lights and popping in an air-con unit and there you go, fully automated air conditioning with zero impact on the van's structure.
Once the Aventa Compact Plus was fitted we went inside for a demo and it is amazing just how powerful something this small is. Within a few minutes the van was very chilly and had an even temperature throughout. A few taps on the iNet app and then just like that the van warmed back up to a very comfortable climate. The tiny, almost soundless, Compact Plus pumps out 2,200 watts of cooling power.
After the fitting and test I spoke with Truma's head fitter and he gave me a bit of a run through of how exactly Truma's air con works and the best way to use it to ensure you get the optimal effects. One of the main aims Truma have is the way in which the air con works with the entirety of the caravan or motorhome.
One key point that was explained, one I was totally unaware of and never even thought of, is that the air distribution has been designed to ariate everything from space all the way to the fabrics within the van. So not only will it call down the van it will also cool mattresses, curtains, duvets and sofas.
Having spent a day at Truma I have gained a fair understanding of their products and the reasoning behind why it is so important to them to provide products that are totally customer focussed. From the cold testing chamber all the way to aftermarket fitting, Truma really do have an amazing set up.
Nowadays it seems as though the most advanced technology on the planet is available to everyone no matter where they are thanks to smartphone. Automation and advance tech has now found its way into caravans all thanks to the big brains working at Truma. How do they use their systems to make your life easier?
As we enter February, one of the coldest months, everyone is gearing up and preparing for the new season. But there are a lot of us who are still planning on some winter getaways despite the sub zero temperatures, one of those a Marquis Leisure who's latest model will make winter seem like a bad memory as they pass some extreme weather testing.
I am sure everyone has come face to face with Truma products, either in a van or at a show, probably both. They are more than just a heating and air con company, they are very much on the forefront new innovative tech within the industry.
In 3 short days we will be heading up to Birmingham to get a head start on all the attractions and displays at this year's Motorhome and Caravan Show at the Birmingham NEC. With so much to do and see what should you be looking out for?
Each year it seems festival seasons gets bigger and bigger. More events, bigger names and a lot more space for campers to rest after a day on their feet. Another aspect that is on the rise is the leisure vehicle's presence. Would you use your motorhome or caravan for a weekend at a music festival?
It is almost that time of year again where we shed a tear as start to empty the caravan in preparation for it's winter hibernation. Our checklist is ready and our cleaning bucket is full as we went the winter period once more and prepare the vans for winter storage.
The met office has issued a yellow weather warnings and warned of harsh winds with some areas experiencing extreme flooding. Make sure you do not let this incoming weather damage your home away from home both onsite and in storage.
