text: I am a mother of three, and one stirs inside me now. I crave quiet and solitude like a diet-starved chocoholic craves just...one...piece. Most moments are so bursting with sound that I cannot discern the individual notes. Most moments feel like a storming of the senses. I hear cries from bonked heads, requests for string to be tied to airplanes, and complaints about peels on apples. I stumble over sticks left in the hallway and pick up the strewn couch cushions for the millionth time. I test food that is too hot, kiss fingers slammed in doors, and lick dripping peanut butter off ants-on-a-log. It is beautiful, but it is also cacophony. It is easy to feel lost in it. Is it possible to see through all this, see in this? Sometimes I feel claustrophobic. Can I learn to breathe in the moment rather than hold my breath until the next opportunity for space? This is my wish. To learn to breathe and see and carry the wonder even through the heaviest of cacophony. Because I am a mother of three, soon four, and I must do this to Live.

NEW LONDON, Conn. – It has been 21 years since the Southern Vermont College women's soccer team won six-straight games; that mark was tied Monday afternoon as the Mountaineers defeated Mitchell College 3-0 in New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) action at Alumni Field.
SVC scored all three of its goals in the opening 45 minutes while keeping the Mariners off the board for the Mountaineers' sixth-straight shutout. Southern Vermont has not allowed a goal in its last 585:35 of play.
The Mountaineers improve to 8-4 on the season and 3-1 in league play. That overall wins mark already ties the team's victory count from last year with four regular season games left to go—ensuring that SVC will finish the regular season with at least a .500 record.
Southern Vermont's winning streak will be well-tested on Saturday when the team returns to action with a 1 p.m. NECC home game against Elms College; the Blazers have won each of their 10 all-time meetings with SVC.
Mountaineer freshman Jayne Wierzbicki (Wilmington, Mass.) scored the first two goals for the visitors before sophomore Taylor Mallett (Berwick, Maine) notched one of her own. Freshman Nicole Shapiro (New Windsor, N.Y.)—who was named the latest NECC Rookie of the Week earlier in the day—assisted on the team's second goal of the match.
SVC senior goaltender Melissa Mascari (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) made three saves as her 22nd career shutout improved her season record to 8-4. Between her play between the pipes and Southern Vermont's tough defensive showings, the team currently has an impressive 0.66 goals against average for the year.
The Mountaineers shot early and often in the first half with the visitors taking seven attempts at net before getting one past the Mitchell keeper. A throw-in from the MC end of the field went off a Mariner defender, and Wierzbicki cleaned it up for what proved to be her fourth game-winning goal of the year in the 19th minute.
Less than 10 minutes later, Wierzbicki struck again when her classmate connected a pass in the box. Wierzbicki took the Shapiro slot at the right side of the box and let it go into the back of the net for her team-leading ninth goal of the year and the 2-0 advantage.
SVC added another piece of insurance in the 39th minute when a pair of sophomores linked up. Ashley Blom (Manorville, N.Y.) served it in to the top of the six-yard box, and Mallett fought through the traffic to get up and head the ball home for her fourth goal of the season. The Mountaineers allowed just a single shot on goal the rest of the way for them to finish the league victory and another shutout; the clean sheet ties Mascari's personal single-season record and puts her one shy of tying the program's high for a campaign.

The rhythmic sound of the African drums filled the evening air with a melodious beat, only interrupted by loud roars and cheers as Shivani and Parin danced into their Mehndi Party. It was a battle of the senses. The smell of the kerosene lighting up the fire lamps was competing with the scent of the freshly roasted corn on the cob. As the sun went down on Nairobi that evening and cast a golden light on everything, no one knew just how big that night was going to be. I clearly remember Parin saying to me – 'this will be a quiet night as it's a big day tomorrow'. At 1am, he along with about 100 other guests showed no signs of slowing down whatsoever. There were bottles being passed around on the dancefloor. Yep, people were drinking not from glasses but straight from liquor bottles. Neat. Little did Parin know that in less than 12 hours, he was going to be chucked into an ice-cold swimming pool after his pithi ceremony. I am 99.9% sure that sorted out a few 'day-after' problems for him.
We first started talking with Shivani and Parin over a year ago as they were planning this amazing week-long celebration. Through a year of very funny conversations over the phone and whatsapp, we had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time. And through that time, as we got to understand them better, we knew they were a fun-loving couple and most of all, they wanted everyone around them to have a great time in Kenya too. Judging by everyone's emotions and faces during that week, they definitely met that goal. They had chosen to have their pre-wedding shoot at The Lake House in Tigoni. It was our first time shooting there and what a pleasant surprise. You don't feel like you are less than an hour away from the hustle bustle of Nairobi. The loving relationship between Shivani and Parin was just incredible to shoot. With near perfect natural lighting, they were in harmony with nature. We hardly had to prompt them, and ended up with a set of the most natural photos and smiles!
A couple of days later, the travel-themed pre-wedding Reception had high expectations and it surely didn't disappoint. An incredible set-up, drinks, speeches, funny table games, brilliant upbeat music by DJ Deshal, some amazing performances by friends and family members, a kick-ass first dance, more drinks, crowd surfing, shooting down Jagersbombs, dancing on the tables, shawarmas at midnight, more drinks. The icing on the cake – Sno Cream ice cream! If you know, you know.
The wedding day started off with a very loud baraat in a truck. It is hard to describe but there were about 30 loud friends and family members from Parin's side, in a loud truck with loud music (with some people even hanging off the sides of the truck as it was moving!). All very colourful, the guests danced their way into the wedding. Lo and behold, Shivani's side of the family was an even greater match for them as they had planned a surprise qawwali performance just before Parin walked down the aisle. It was a traditional Indian ceremony which was beautifully conducted by the priest, followed by a very emotional goodbye from Shivani's side of the family – always a difficult part of the wedding to photograph.
Shivani & Parin, thank you for having all the trust in us. Hopefully we have created memories for you guys that you can always look back at and reminisce. Thank you to your friends and family for all the hospitality and gratitude shown towards us. Trust me when I say that it felt like I was shooting a family wedding! Oh yeah, I think I have to address the elephant in the room. Bite marks. Bite marks on my cheek (face-cheek) from the groom. I went back from the African-themed party night with bite marks on my left cheek. Not an easy one to explain to the missus. And then the same thing happened AGAIN a few nights later! Let's just say that Parin displays his love very affectionately and we'll leave it at that. One love!

Post Edinburgh
Well what a busy old month August turned out to be:
I thought I was going to be poor as a church mouse as term had finished at the performing arts school where I teach, and NewsRevue had just sent me my final cheque. With no acting work on the horizon and no children's parties coming up, yet a trip to Edinburgh booked in, I took a bit of demonstration work in a well know department store. It was not only boring but soul destroying as I was side-by-side with a former performer, "I worked with Danny La Rue you know" and it was a scary insight to the future.
Luckily a bit of filming for Maplin popped up and real money was coming in again. I thought I was going to be a beautiful bride but when I got there they put me in a smelly dress that didn't fit and spent an hour making me look horrible. You will be able to see this masterpiece as the sponsorship bumpers around Channel 4's Gadget Man that starts tonight.
Edinburgh was brilliant, saw so much (once again got ID'd!!) and I have lots of ideas for doing show next year. It was, of course, lovely spending time with Jim Daly and he also is very excited about performing up there next year. The stand out shows were our mates InCahoots, Vikki Stone and Pants on Fire's Pinocchio. I did also see a great show about a Basset Hound (no doubt it was going to be great - it had a Basset in it?!) made by Victoria Melody, a Louis Theroux type documentary maker who, whilst trying to get Major Tom to Crufts, put herself through a rigorous training regime to compete in beauty pageants.
I have ended August as poor as I started but onwards and upwards for September. Jim even managed to end August with a bang but having us spend the 31st in A&E. He's a keeper that one.

Sedra – Terumah
With Rabbi Moshe Mayerfeld.
THE FORMER British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
Raising capital for communal endeavours dates back to biblical times. Moshe was the ultimate fundraiser. He was successful, humble, focused on the cause and transparent.
Get The Jewish News Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up
In this week's portion, Hashem instructs Moshe to collect the resources needed to build a traveling Temple- the Mishkan. "Speak to the children of Israel, that they take for Me a portion". Gold, silver, copper, wood, oils. Only then does the verse say: "Let them make Me a sanctuary, so I may dwell among them".
This seems to be a non sequitur. First we should hear the vision, the dream, and then tell us what we need to make it happen. Usually when we hear an appeal, first we are told of the cause, the institution, the charity and then we are asked for the finances or the assistance.
Here, God is demonstrating a very important lesson to us.
We are taught that everything we have is a gift from God. In a certain sense it is on loan. If you have something that belongs to your neighbour, they don't need to explain that their garden is overgrown, they can just ask for their lawnmower back.
The Jewish people were being educated to appreciate their belongings and in so doing develop a recognition of where it comes from. Granted that this is a highly spiritual sense of awareness, however it is understandable that this would be necessary to build a "home" for the Almighty.
This same lesson holds true for our mental faculties and talents. These, too, were endowed by God for a higher purpose. Later in the text we are told that we should "See" that Hashem has called upon Bezalel to be the chief architect of the building of the Mishkan.
Our rabbis point out that the "See" is an extra word in the verse intended to teach us that the mere fact that Bezalel was gifted with architectural talents is enough of a reason to know that he will be involved in its building; for why else would this skill be given other than to make this world a better, moral and godly place?
Our money and resources are on loan to us and it is our responsibility to use them to create of world of goodness, kindness and morality.

European Central Banking Predators Impose Negative Interest Rates
It's really no surprise the ECB has actually trashed cash with this week's announcement. And, in the process, provided another bailout to the aristocracy on the backs of the poor and working class who will pay for the ECB's criminal, non-democratic arrogance.
There are two factors that likely play a major role in this decision. By the way, a decision most European economists, keepers of the faith, expected. Why? Because the predatory status quo wanted it.
Those two factors are 1) massive amounts of American and European aristocratic, predatory renter capitalist money has flooded into distressed European markets and gobbled up assets, including stocks, in incredibly distressed places like Greece, Ireland and Spain. And 2) Europe is headed back into economic crisis. Germany's manufacturing output is at a 7-month low, Austria at a 10-month low, France at a 4-month low and Greece & Italy are at 2-month lows. So, the ECB is pulling out all stops in an attempt to save private, class-based capital's major investments. How do they do that? By imposing negative interest rates that they believe will encourage people to withdraw their money and spend it, thus re-igniting some level of growth and inflation. Or, at least staving off deflation. So the thinking goes.
What ails the United States is a European sickness. A sickness that has become very clear since 2008 as the European aristocracy is even more brutal than that of the U.S. in its exploitation of European citizens. Capitalism is a disease inherited from the European aristocracy. As is private banking. And socialism, another horrible disease of state control, is the supposed answer to the aristocracy's diseased control of European society. All of these are European diseases that European American immigrants left en masse to come to this nation. Why? To be free of class and their use of state violence to enslave humanity.
Today in Europe all of these diseased systems of control are in various stages of terminal failure. And that is why the ECB's new program of state violence is forcing people to pay for the privilege of putting their money in the hands of private banking criminals.

Congratulations, you got the job. Now it's time to think about the next one.
This might strike you as odd since you haven't even finished your first week yet. But the 90-Day Career Diet isn't a "one and done" exercise, like losing 15 pounds before the next college reunion. It's a lifestyle change, like committing to a better diet and regular exercise.
The 90-Day Career Diet introduced you to new lifelong habits: understanding yourself, targeting opportunities, networking for a warm introduction, having a resume that tells your story, and preparing for and mastering the interview.
Even as you distinguish yourself in your brand-new job, you need to continue the Career Diet. Statistically speaking, you probably won't be in your new job for long. Job tenure keeps shrinking—about four years on average and only one to two years for younger workers. It isn't a sign of dissatisfaction; it's the path of the "career nomad," who is looking to make an impact quickly and then move on. And the best time to get a new job is when you already have one.
The most important rewards from your new job — far more than salary, bonus, or title — are the lessons you learn. One of the main reasons to take a new job is to gain skills and expand your experiences.
Consider the 70-20-10 rule: about 70 percent of your learning and development come from assignments that stretch you and allow you to learn new skills; 20 percent will be from other people, especially your boss; and 10 percent will be from training and courses. So let your curiosity lead you to commit to continuous learning.
Six degrees of separation — the idea that anyone can be connected to any other person through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries — isn't just a theory. It's reality! Over my career, I've seen this played out thousands of times. Now as you start your new job, your networking should kick up a notch, especially internally as you get to know others across the company and explore the next opportunity.
The one thing we can be sure about is that tomorrow won't look like today. In what's being called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technological forces of progress are putting stresses on how and where we work. Some jobs that exist today will go the way of the blacksmith and the retail clerk. You need to be constantly learning and stretching so you become an "outlier" in terms of performance.
Your new job isn't an end, it's the beginning. As a career nomad, you're constantly on the move and evolving with every step.
Check out steps one, two, three, four, five and six of the 90-Day Career Diet. A version of this article appears on Forbes.com.

Emily and Jamison's Wedding at the Ponds at Bolton/ the ponds at bolton valley/ Melissa Wilson
I am so excited to share Emily and Jamison's wedding a the Ponds! They had such a perfect day! We started with a first look by the pond and we had some wonderful time taking portraits of the two of them, their wedding party and family. As we were finishing the portraits, some huge storms rolled in, but when it was time for the ceremony the rain went away and the sun came back out! They danced the night away with their family and friends and we ended the night with a sparkler exit. These were the smokiest sparklers I have ever seen! After some super smokey exit photos we were able to capture some magical smokey photos of just the two of them at the very end.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - The New York City Department of Education has reassigned a Brooklyn middle school assistant principal accused of beating a student.
Police say Derrande Moore slammed the 13-year-old onto a cafeteria table, then dragged him into a closet and punched and kicked him several times.
It happened last week at Gladstone Atwell Middle School in Crown Heights.
The teen suffered a bloody nose and scratches to his body.
Moore is facing a number of charges, including assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
NY1 reached out to Moore's attorney by phone who says the 42-year-old has been an assistant principal for nearly two decades, has never had a disciplinary problem, has no criminal record and denies the allegations.
A spokesperson for the Department of Education released a statement saying, "This alleged behavior is extremely disturbing, and Mr. Moore was immediately reassigned away from students pending the outcome of the criminal investigation."
Moore is due back in court next month.

Discrimination in Dubai?
I doubt that what you are about to learn of here is legal in Dubai, or even socially accepted, but that didn't stop the company Afraa from posting a job opportunity blatantly excluding Muslims from the job.
Details Here at Naukri Gulf site.
This was there in the job post:
Only Army Ex-defence,
Age- 40 yrs Maximum,
Only Non-Muslim
Good height and Health
Know Basic English
Now I understand all of these items, except for the Non-Muslim one.
I could also, understand that some jobs may be better suited for non-Muslims like bar tending or so, but this is a security guard position in a Muslim country.
A SECURITY JOB. What? do they think we spontaneously combust?!
Any body else find this shocking?? I mean wouldn't this be absolutely horrid if it said Non-Blacks, Non-Arabs, Non-Christians, Non-Asians.
Whats next? May be we'll start seeing posts for a secretary job for whores only or an accounting position for Indians only? Or may be even worse, this has already been there but no one talks about it.

How To Help Young Athletes Learn Form Mistakes
From the baseball field to the tennis court, mistakes are a natural part of sports. Whether your kid drops the game-winning pass, double-faults their serve at match point, or misses a short putt on the final hole, mistakes will happen.
As parents, we can't prevent our kids from making mistakes, but we can teach them how to deal with their disappointments and learn from their experiences. With mistakes and adversity, some negative emotions will naturally occur. But often these emotions can cause athletes to stay stuck in a past performance, which can undermine their confidence.
Teach your kids that there are two ways to react to mistakes. The first option is to get upset, frustrated and angry that you lost the match or did not perform up to your ability, and carry these negative feeling with you for hours after competition.
This choice, clearly not the best option, causes athletes to lose confidence, and potentially motivation for practice and training. An individual's self-esteem is linked to his or her success and failure as an athlete.
The second way to react is with confidence and composure by focusing on what went well, and using mistakes as motivation to improve. This option is the better choice because it allows athletes to stay positive and think more about improvement.
Parents and coaches should recognize and accept that young athletes will never be perfect or have a flawless performance. The best competitors in the world know this. They work very hard to be the best, but accept that mistakes are inevitable in sports.
Some analysis of mistakes is necessary to improve-especially from a coach's perspective. Athletes can improve on their weaknesses and grow from defeat.
Being overly critical of your child's performance is not the best reaction to failure or defeat. We suggest you help your son or daughter to assess their performance objectively by focusing on what they did well and what they can do to improve.
Many fine athletes lose confidence or motivation and even quit sports because they are too critical or judgmental of their performance.
So how can you help your child learn from mistakes? First, observe the cool down period immediately after the game or match, and wait to discuss the performance with your son or daughter. When emotions are elevated, it's easier for both parents and kids to be self-critical. We suggest a cool down period of at least 30 minutes to allow kids time to get past the emotions of the competition.
We suggest that parents focus on what their athletes did well during their performance. Maybe they didn't win, but I'm sure you can think of something positive that you can comment on even after a loss. Help your athletes focus on the things they did well such as playing aggressively, working hard until the end of the game, making good passes, hitting a nice shot, or executing a skill.
After you help your athletes focus on a few positive things, make a list of what you think they can improve based on some of the mistakes and mental errors you observed. We suggest you provide this list to a coach so he or she can help your child work on these areas.
Remember that all athletes (even professionals) do not perform perfectly, and always strive to improve. Try not to let your son or daughter fall into the trap of labeling their performance as "good" or "bad." Focus on what went well. This way your athletes can feel more confident, learn from their mistakes, and in turn become better athletes.

Land dispute claims three lives in north Bihar's Saran district
The killings, early on Wednesday, were a fallout of a festering land dispute between two families, which had already claimed a life earlier, in 2015.patna Updated: May 31, 2017 19:52 IST
A group of armed men allegedly killed three persons of the same family over a land dispute at Narayanpur village under Garkha police station of Saran district of north Bihar, early on Wednesday. Three other members of family were severely injured and admitted to the sadar hospital.
The victims were identified as the head of the family, Paras Rai (80), his wife Basmatia Devi (75) and grandson Bijendra Rai. Their bodies were found in the backyard of their home, lying in a pool of blood.
As the news of the three murders spread, tension gripped the area, with villagers accusing the police of being casual in dealing with the case. No arrests had been made in connection with the killings till late afternoon on Wednesday.
This was the second incident of murder over land dispute in Bihar, on May 30. Just hours before the Saran triple murders, armed miscreants killed two youths—Nirmal Kumar, 21,and Sintoo Kumar,15—at Beldari Tola under Parasbigha police station of Jehanabad district in south Bihar.
Saran DIG Ajit Kumar Roy said that the Narayanpur incident took place at around 1am when Paras and other family members were sleeping. Some armed men barged into the house and dragged them out. A heated argument ensued and the intruders opened fire on the family members.
Three of them died on the spot while three others, namely, Rajeshwar Rai, his wife Sushila Devi and daughter Pallavi—sustained injuries.
On getting information, Saran SP Ansuiya Ransing Sahu, reached the spot with a police party. She later told HT that the bodies had been sent for post-mortem and an FIR would be lodged once the last rites of the victims were performed.
The SP said a land dispute between Paras and his cousin Anil Rai was the main reason behind the incident. "Anil's brother also killed in 2015 and Paras's grandson was an accused in the case. Those behind the latest killings are absconding from their homes and police have launched manhunt for them", she added.
"The victims had expressed a threat to their lives even a couple of days earlier but the police did not take the matter seriously", claimed a villager who was not willing to be named.

Former Commander Of Pro-Russian Separatists Says He Executed People Based On Stalin-Era Laws
For most of his 42-minute appearance on a radio talk show, former Russia-backed separatist commander Igor Girkin sounded like nothing more than a fanatic discussing a dream now widely dismissed as fantasy. It wasn't until the last minute that the interview with him went from surreal to chilling.

EU Concern At Pace Of Ukraine Reforms
Kyiv has touted the promise of a visa-free regime for Ukrainians traveling to the European Union as evidence of its success in carrying out reforms, but behind the scenes several key EU member states are bemoaning the country's slow progress of implementation and lack of engagement both with its citizens and with Brussels.

Legendary action star Chuck Norris says he's entering the political ring in Tuesday's recall election for the governorship of Wisconsin, to offset the influence of Democrat powerhouses looking to oust Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Norris himself is not seeking office, but he's throwing his name and weight behind Walker.
"When I saw [Democrats] also send in the big guns, former President Bill Clinton himself, against Gov. Walker, I knew I had to enter the ring, too," Norris says in a brand-new column on WND.
"There's one primary reason that Clinton came out to Wisconsin to engage in the battle to recall Gov. Walker," he explained.
"Democrats, liberals and progressives like him know that as Wisconsin goes on Tuesday, so possibly goes the nation in November. They fear that a win for Gov. Walker will contribute to conservative momentum that will ultimately lead to President Obama's defeat in his campaign for re-election. And they're right.

Let's hope Chuck can get the job done. Our prayers are with him.

Obtaining a reliable news source can be difficult, specially when you think about how handful of companies personal mainstream news sources. Harrison, J.

All the news reporters, specifically these on Fox News, ruin the broadcast with their own insignificant opinions. But, if you read the publication Indivisible: A Sensible Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda, you'l l find, just as I did, that it does not take a lot of time to get the ball rolling on influencing your member of Congress. In the 4 free to air major news channels in Australia I truly could not single out any distinct agency.
In terms of the tabloidization debate, these 'niche news products' have already appeared in the form of magazines such as Heat and Now , and newspaper sections such as the Daily Mirror' s '3am' and the Sun 's 'Bizarre', all devoted to the pursuit of celebrity gossip as their core news worth. It lasted for a single season beginning on September ten, 1978 – July 11, 1979 with a total of 9 episodes to its credit. Facebook loses its appeal when so considerably information is presented in your Facebook News Feed that you can no longer keep up with it. New Facebook users may not uncover this to be a issue, but as you make a lot of Facebook Pals and commence to hit the Like button on a lot of Facebook pages, you will quickly see your Facebook News Feed cluttered up with a torrent of updates, some of which you want to study and some of which you do not want to see.
David Spielberg was their producer, Francis X. Casey and the news programs anchor/host was Jason Cook played by William Prince. Breaking news creates anticipatory anxiousness about what has happened and what is to come. That is awesome, and if we all genuinely think about it, we all have significantly to be thankful for in this life, which certainly is all good news. On the other hand, the media must make a conscious and sustained work to present the news in the most unbiased manor attainable. Perhaps if trump new what an eyesore was sitting there with his name plastered on it, he would do something about lighting a fire below these people.
I can not help but feel manipulated by the media to appear for and anticipate the subsequent breaking news story.

Vet Viewpoint: New farm assurance rules and a French Alps trip
The recent weather has been completely out of the norm and while it has caused its own problems for livestock farmers, lots of the vet visits reported this month have been for the routine issues.
The recent warm spell has brought nematodirus issues, according to Neil Laing from Lanark and a much earlier outbreak of fly strike in sheep. At the same time, grass staggers have been causing problems later than usually expected in suckler herds.

The focus on antibiotics use reduction has spread from dairies to beef and sheep farms this month. The new Red Tractor requirements stipulate that beef and sheep farms must now have an annual veterinary herd/flock health plan review.
This must identify key health issues in the herd/flock and make recommendations to improve any issues highlighted. Within this, there is a strong focus on antibiotics reduction. Vets are now required to
- Provide a review of total antibiotics use
- Make suggestions where antibiotics use may be reduced without compromising animal welfare
- Appraise the use of preventative antibiotics and suggest alternative strategies for disease prevention
- Review the use of critically important antibiotics and recommend reduction strategies
We held farmer meetings last week focusing on these strategies and all farmers who attended received a certificate of training – a further requirement under the scheme.
Roger Scott
Scott Mitchell Associates, Hexham
Having just returned from the French Alps with a farm study group of Northumbrian beef and sheep farmers, the reflections were always going to be interesting.
Our first visit was with the local vet to a 40-cow dairy herd in Samoens in the Giffre valley. It felt like a visit to a farm museum, but as Confucius famously said:"To divine the future, first study the past."
The opening line was underwhelming… "These Abondance cows produce about 6,000 litres." However, the rest was interesting.
The cows are only fed alpine pasture and hay. Why? To qualify as a registered reblechon cheese producer, that's what you have to feed.
They have to walk seven miles to the higher pasture in summer and they get milked up there. Do they get bad feet? Never. Do they get mastitis? Never. Do they get left displaced abomasums? What's one of those?
How many lactations do they have? Up to 15. Do they test for TB? No, there isn't any.
How much do they get for their milk? 55p/litre. What does the farmer drive? A brand-new pickup.
Neil Laing
Clyde Veterinary Group, Lanark
We are still very busy in Lanarkshire, with an extended spring workload. Fortunately grass is at least growing.
The recent warm weather has brought its challenges, with a much earlier outbreak of fly strike in sheep than we would ordinarily see. This has led to earlier treatments with pyrethroid products and applying insect growth regulator prevention products.
Nematodirus has been more prevalent than other years – again, probably due to the warm weather – so the need for white drench products have greatly increased.
Coccidiosis has been an issue on some farms, so careful diagnosis has been needed to differentiate from nematodirus.
Lots of silage has been made despite the late spring and the regrowth has been impressive. This has also led to some later-than-expected cases of grass tetany or staggers, particularly in beef cows. Every year is slightly different.
Rachel Hayton
Synergy Farm Health, Evershot, Dorchester
We have seen lots of left displaced abomasums this month. Speak to your vet about effective transition and fresh cow management.
Also, the same old conditions crop up every spring; and most of them are preventable.
Suckler cows at grass need some form of magnesium. Many of our farms suffer with tick-borne fever and redwater, which are both on the increase. Luckily, we now have access to a redwater vaccine. Additionally, don't forget fly strike prevention and monitoring.
Liver fluke is on the way to becoming a year-round problem in the South West. Now is the time to put a robust parasite control plan in place.
Many of our dairy farmers have really changed their perception of lame cows: regular mobility scoring, prompt treatment and effective control measures really pay dividends.

You've mentioned that you have a background in architecture and that your paintings are influenced by a time when architectural practices switched from hand drawings to digital renderings in the late 90s.
It was a really interesting time because the technologies like 3D rendering, 3D vis, all these softwares, were kind of just promotional tools for architecture at that point. The renderings we were starting to do were extremely awkward and would look weird. The hand drawings looked better, but we would do the digital renderings as more a promotion — to demonstrate that we were into 3D rendering and up to date with our use of the available technologies in the industry.
Anyway, the 3D renderings started to look really strange. And at one point, after enough of the projects had been materialized, we started to realize that when these 3D renderings were built there was an unexplainable disconnect — like even though they followed the plans, they weren't quite what had been designed. Something was missing, and we couldn't figure out what it was exactly. It was more of a feeling. So for me, it felt like an awkward time in the industry. We were all expected to keep up on the newest 3D rendering software even though the results that were being generated didn't feel quite right.
When I started painting and reflecting on my process and what influenced me, I realized that I was using digital tools in my paintings in a way that was picking up on some of the awkward moments I had encountered in the architectural field of the 90s. I'm still trying to work through the awkwardness of digital tools 30 years later, even though now that awkward, adolescent, in-transition phase once associated with rendering software has come and gone.
The paintings you're currently producing incorporate both digital rendering software and hand application techniques. The line thicknesses and hardnesses, the use of multiple overlapping and transparent layers, the various effects and types of marks employed, as well as the flatness of the end result all work together to produce a certain kind of awkwardness — a well composed dissonance.
With the formalities of abstractions, one is always working with foreground and background. Now that we look at a lot of artwork digitally, my work has taken on a different kind of meaning. It interfaces differently. When it's a painting produced by hand, these digital qualities and processes are looked at and understood differently than if it was a print-out of a digital rendering.
In terms of the process, I'll start out with a background on canvas. Then I'll bring it into the computer and do some renderings. Then I'll bring it back out onto the canvas. And this process continues until the last layer where it often becomes very gestural. While I'm here at Wassaic, I'm hoping to try out some different paint-gesso mixtures and experiment more with this last gestural layer. I'm also hoping to spend some more time working through colors. I tend to be drawn to bright colors, in part because of working in digital space, but I'm interesting in exploring muted colors and softer tones while I'm here.
Anyway, there's a lot of masking and layering involved, and because of this back and forth there's a weirdness that sets in and produces an awkward relationship between the foreground and background. I consider the ways that I can make this dissonance — between foreground and background, digital rendering and hand drawing — really work for each of the paintings. It's about breaking things down through a systematic process. At least that's what I hope to achieve. Both in terms of what the painting looks like on the wall and on a screen.
Why is important to you that the result of this extended process of back and forth movement — between digital space and the space of the canvas — ultimately ends, categorically, with a painting?
I think to address that question it might be helpful to return to a discussion of architecture that I'm familiar with because of practicing for a while — in the end it's a building. Thinking about processes as becoming an object is how I've always worked. In this current scenario, the building is a painting, and the processes I employ allow me to bring the painting into being as an object.
How long have you been making work in this way?
It's a relatively new body of work. I've been developing it since graduate school so it's about 3 years old now. A lot of times I work with Procreate. It's a really 2D program so depending on the color choices different elements will move into the foreground or background. This is really where most of the architectural rendering comes in. They're drawn on an iPad so the conditions of their production also comes into play. It's like a rendered finger painting process. Which also calls to mind the digital signatures that we all make now when we're checking out at the supermarket or wherever. You know you're supposed to sign but everybody just does a little drawing.
I also think the paintings are straight-edged and loose. The forms have gotten more and more intricate and seemingly casual with time. I recently introduced a horizontal taped line which came out of a conversation with my advisor about what I could add to the paintings to emphasize the relationship between digital and physical space — like it's either a pixel or it's a line. I started working with an airbrush early on because I was thinking about the idea of touchless tools and digital space. Jeff Elrod has had a big influence on my work. Then I started getting into more gestural textures and impasto which you can't read when you're looking at a piece on a computer screen.
Looking at your paintings in this space — a barn — and considering their attention to lines, layers, and diagrams has made me reconsider the architectural elements around me. Have you taken the built environment of Wassaic into consideration yet?
I've been talking with a lot of the other residents about how this place will affect our work. But I don't really know how being here at Wassaic — within the context of this barn and all its horizontal lines — will impact my paintings. Perhaps it will direct my process towards more sculptural work. Who knows, maybe the paintings will come off the walls and lean at angles in relationship to the built environment. I suppose the question is how the digital realm will relate (passively or actively) to these repurposed buildings through whatever work I end up producing while I'm here. One thing's for sure: Wassaic is definitely not a white cube.
Your paintings feel very joyous. Which I suppose is a feeling that might get translated into paintings more than into buildings. Don't take this the wrong way, but a lot of my friends that are practicing architects are masochists in the worst sense of the word. I found myself thinking about your paintings as a sort of counter to that type of existence. Which in turn made me wonder what their playful energy is about and where it comes from?
That's really interesting that you brought that up. The main reason I got out of architecture, although I still do a little design work on the side, is because it wasn't fun for me anymore. It's very labor-intensive, the hours are long and joyless, and maybe that's showing up now and it's a sign that I needed a break. But yeah, the joy shows through in the colors and the forms.
Things don't work in architecture and it's frustrating. Especially when you're doing a lot of the detail work. Things get so small and closed-in. There are time restraints. There are budget restraints. It can really take over your life if you let it. A lot of times you're expected to let it. I don't know, I mean, I got into architecture for the creative side of it and a lot of people do. And the reality is that while a lot of people get into the field for these reasons, very few of them are actually able to do it.
It sounds like you also got out of architecture for the creative side as well. Do you see yourself making any significant changes to your painting practice or its current direction in the near future or are you planning on continuing this body of work for awhile longer?
Yeah. There is a certain desire to get more sculptural. What that'll do to the digital drawing part of the process I'm not sure. It's a really interesting time for me right now because I was away from my practice for two or three months because of a family issue. So now I'm coming back into it with fresh eyes. This is a perfect opportunity to be here at Wassaic and to be in a new environment and see my work differently. Lately I've been feeling like it's time to make a move but I'm not sure what that'll be yet. Whatever it ends up being I know I won't totally abandon what I'm doing. There was one thing in graduate school that I was told that has stayed with me. A professor said that I didn't stick with things long enough. I would jump around, and even though it was all painting I didn't give my practice enough time to evolve. So I think I'm going to try to make changes at a slow pace. Maybe change one element instead of all of them and spend the time that I should with what I'm already doing.
I think that with the expansion of the digital realm coupled to a desire for instant gratification, we tend not to be as patient with our work, ourselves, and the people around us. Well, for me at least. I'll just speak for myself. It's not as easy as it used to be. I'm finding that in this kind of context I have to remember to ground myself and slow down in order to evolve with intention.

The objective of this packaging for cigars was to establish the local brand image of Chinese cigars by exploring a new expression of traditional cigar culture in a modern lifestyle setting. Merging the design language of Minimal Art and Bauhaus with the Chinese ideology of "Qi", the cigar pack is defined as a piece of art that could even be hung on the wall. Inspired by the aesthetics of luxurious old cigar packaging, it was to emerge with a new and exciting look and feel.

text: "This North Carolina artist," wrote Barbara Morris, "has always emphasized a formalist impulse to create autonomous, abstract objects coupled with an undercurrent of allusion to the long, rich and intimate world of the book, the cold geometry of steel wedded to the warmth and nuance of well-thumbed tomes. In earlier exhibitions, Hayes worked exclusively with books, specifically with pages taken from them as a foil to his welded steel housings. Here, in an assortment of wall, pedestal and freestanding works, he broke new ground by injecting into these minimalist geometric shapes hints of trompe l'oiel."Source Link: More information

Project GRACE and FIREFLIES
Project GRACE (Giving Respect and Choosing Equality) was initiated in the summer of 2015 as UUFCO's response to the UUA Congregational Study Action Issue of escalating inequality. During 2015-16, the Project GRACE team facilitated eight educational sessions focused on the inequality of income, wealth and opportunity in the United States, and the causes and effects of such inequality. The Project GRACE team also led two Sunday services and held a workshop to identify potential actions the congregation and its members might consider in response to escalating inequality.
Based on the results of that workshop, in 2016-2017 Project GRACE developed an Early Learning Team focused on expanding opportunities for high-quality early learning in Central Oregon and a Changing the Narrative Team which led discussions on altering how we think, speak and tell stories about inequality. In the spring of 2017, the Early Learning Team rebranded itself as FIREFLIES: Lighting Sparks in Young Learners.
The FIREFLIES Team, a sub-group of Project GRACE, is dedicated to expanding opportunities for affordable, high-quality early learning in Central Oregon. For further information, or to join the FIREFLIES Team, contact FIREFLIES.
Currently, the major program for FIREFLIES is our summer book bag program, which focuses on elementary school students who need a little extra assistance to maintain their reading and math skills over the summer. In its second year in 2018, with support from the Central Oregon community and funds raised at our first annual FIREFLIES FLASH!, we provided more than 1,600 new books in book bags to 325 students at Juniper and Ensworth Elementary schools in Bend and Rosland Elementary in LaPine. Our goal in 2019 is to serve 400-500 students at 4 schools.
Each book bag contains 5 or more new books selected by their teachers, plus games, puzzles, a journal, and other materials to help students stay engaged with learning throughout the summer. Each bag also includes tips for parents to engage with their children to make summer reading fun for the whole family and handouts with information on other community learning activities available to families.
Additional activities by FIREFLIES include:
The FIREFLIES Team arranged for the High Desert Education Services District to conduct a week-long kindergarten readiness program in our UUFCO Religious Exploration space in August 2017. The program helped prepare students about to enter kindergarten, especially those who had not previously had a formal preschool experience.
The FIREFLIES Team is continuing to explore the potential for an affordable, high-quality preschool to operate in the UUFCO RE space.
The FIREFLIES Team continues to explore other opportunities to enhance the availability of affordable, high-quality early learning in Central Oregon. Oregon.

Shiloh Industries, Inc. SHLO yesterday announced that it has agreed to acquire two facilities of Brabant Alucast Services B.V. for undisclosed amounts. Two agreements have been signed between the parties for the Brabant Alucast Italy and Brabant Alucast Netherlands facilities. The company's share price increased roughly 4.1% to close at $7.35 yesterday.
Brabant Alucast Services B.V. specializes in manufacturing high-pressure diecast components from aluminium and magnesium. These components are supplied to customers in the automotive industry. The company has four facilities in Europe, each at Wendlingen GmbH, Heijen B.V., Oss B.V. and Verrès sites.
Details of the Deal
The buyouts of Verrès, Italy-based and Oss B.V., Netherlands-based facilities will strengthen Shiloh Industries' existing magnesium casting operations and enable easy expansion in aluminium diecast components manufacturing market. Also, its operations globally will get a boost from the twin transactions.
These facilities will enhance Shiloh Industries' revenue generating capabilities by €110 million annually while will also add 600 highly skilled people to its workforce.
Subject to receipt of regulatory approvals, Shiloh Industries anticipates completing the acquisitions on Feb 28, 2018.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Shiloh Industries carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). In the last three months, the company's shares have declined 14.6%, underperforming 21.3% gain recorded by the industry it belongs.
Earnings estimates for the stock for fiscal 2018 (ending October 2018) remained stable at 80 cents per share in the last 30 days.
Some stocks worth considering in the industry are Olympic Steel, Inc. ZEUS, Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc. SCHN and Steel Dynamics, Inc. STLD. All these stocks sport a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Olympic Steel's earnings estimates for 2018 have increased in the last 60 days. Also, the company pulled off an average positive earnings surprise of 26.09% in the last four quarters.
Schnitzer Steel delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 0.81% in the last four quarters. Its earnings expectations for fiscal 2018 (ending August 2018) and fiscal 2019 (ending August 2019) have improved over the past 60 days.
Steel Dynamics' earnings estimates for 2018 and 2019 were revised upward in the last 60 days. Also, it delivered an average positive earnings surprise of 6.49% in the last four quarters.
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

Guidelines and Rules.
The National Show will promote the art of Bonsai by bringing together the best bonsai in New Zealand.
The National Show will, where possible, be held in conjunction with a convention and will alternate between the North and South Islands.
The host of the convention in accepting the National Show must agree to the rules set down by NZBA
Entries are to be submitted on the designated form together with a digital photograph of the bonsai. Photographs must be taken on a plain background and be a minimum of 800×600 pixels. The photograph should only show the tree and pot.
Selection for the National Show is to be undertaken by a Judging Panel nominated by the NZBA committee.
There is no limit on the number of bonsai, including Shohin, which any one entrant can submit for selection.
A maximum of three bonsai will be accepted per entrant for the Show, including native trees. (Note a group planting or shohin display is counted as one entry).
Bonsai submitted for the National Show must have been owned by the person submitting for a minimum of two years at the time of the show.
Tables, stands and accessories
All bonsai need to be shown with stands and associated accent plants, figurines or stones. It is the responsibility of the owner or his/her nominated representative to set up and look after their bonsai.
Shohin will be the only separate class of bonsai.
Shohin should normally be a maximum of 20 cm in height measured from the rim of the pot.
Bonsai that are slightly taller should be of equivalent visual weight to the 20 cm tall Bonsai.
Displays should consist of a set of a minimum of three Bonsai.
The Display is not limited to Bonsai on a Single Shohin Stand however the set of Shohin should be displayed in a way that makes it clear that they are a set.
Once an entry has been selected substitution of an alternative tree is not permitted. The Judging Panel may at its discretion approve a fourth tree from an applicant but only three will be permitted to be displayed. The applicant must designate at least one month in advance of the National Show which three trees are to be entered. The exception to this rule is for Shohin where one tree in the group may be substituted with notification of this at least one month in advance of the National Show.
The Master Demonstrator at the convention will judge the National Show. There may additional judges for other awards, such as from BCI or WBFF.
For the Native Tree Award (Keith Lowe Trophy), where the Judge is from overseas and may not be familiar with New Zealand natives, Keith Lowe will be invited to assist the Master Demonstrator. In the absence of Keith Lowe the NZBA may nominate a New Zealand demonstrator.
The best bonsai overall in the show will be awarded the Colin Churchill trophy.
The best native tree (including native planting) will be awarded the Keith Lowe trophy.
The best tree and pot combination will be awarded the Alan Van trophy.
The best Shohin display will be awarded the Shohin trophy.
In addition to the above up to six merit awards may be granted if the judge feels that these trees reach the required standard.
All entries, including those in the Shohin class, are eligible for all awards except for the Keith Lowe trophy which is for a New Zealand native bonsai and the Shohin trophy which is restricted to Shohin displays.
The recipient of the trophy is responsible for engraving their name and date on the plaque and for delivering the trophy to the next convention for the Awards Ceremony.
NZBA will promote the event in Bonsai Times, the NZBA website and other appropriate publications.
Entrants must be either a member of NZBA or of an associated club.
Online application forms will be available via the NZBA or Convention website.
The closing date for entries will be advertised and no late entries can be accepted. Photographs of the Award winning and merit trees will be displayed on the NZBA website.
Bonsai which have won any of the named awards may not be re-entered in the competition for a minimum of three years.
National Show space allocation
The host is responsible for providing suitable facilities for the Show such as allocation of space, tables, draping and backing boards to ensure that the trees are displayed to their best advantage. The number of trees for the National Show will be advised by NZBA as soon as this is determined. It should be anticipated that the likely number of trees that are accepted for the National Show will be similar to that in previous shows.
Closing date for entries for the 2019 National Show is 30th Jun 2019
