In what year did the Ladies' Home Journal make its debut?
Answer: 1883
Ladies' Home Journal is one of the nation's most popular women's magazines with more than 3 million subscribers. The magazine, originally called The Ladies Home Journal and Practical Housekeeper, had its start here in Philadelphia. Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis, a pioneer of modern magazine publishing in the United States, started the journal in 1883 and his wife, Louisa Knapp Curtis, worked as its editor until 1889. Cyrus Curtis, who would later establish the Curtis Publishing Company in Philadelphia, expected young couples to turn to the magazine regularly for housekeeping advice.
In 1889, Edward Bok, sometimes called the "father of the American women's magazine" was named editor. It was under his guidance that the magazine hit its stride. Bok successfully toed the line between promoting conventional principles and new consumer values. The magazine contained articles on traditional housekeeping methods. But it also contained advertisements for the latest home inventions—from prepared meals to new laundry machines—that allowed women more leisure time and encouraged spending. In his editorials, Bok encouraged women to pass down traditional family values and housekeeping knowledge to subsequent generations of mothers and daughters.
Bok did accept, if reluctantly, the changing role of women in society. As more and more women wrote asking how they could make their own money, he published articles on the topic. He also created a Girl's Club of LHJ that employed young women to sell magazine subscriptions. Yet, when it came to LHJ, he endeavored to always keep housekeeping principles and the traditional model of women as heads of the household front and center. Today's version of the magazine, published by Meredith Corporation, focuses on health and relationships; beauty and style; food and finance.
HSP hold the records of the Curtis Publishing Company (#3115), as well as other collections of publishing houses such as Lea & Febiger (#227B), which help to illustrate and illuminate the role Philadelphia played in the early promotion of the printed word.

10 Contemporary Turkish Artists You Should Know
Artsy Editorial
Born in Istanbul and trained as a painter, fiber artist Gulay Semercioglu weaves fine, colored wires into a dense mesh—from a distance her works look like Color Field abstractions, and the unexpected material is only apparent upon close inspection. Mounted on wood, the multi-layered wires are tautly bound to screws, whose placement determines gradations of tone. Despite the fact that she technically works in metal, Semercioglu calls her pieces paintings, citing the unifying effect she achieves through manipulation of material, color, and texture.

text: Supporting Dairy Cattle Immune System Demonstrates Improved Health and Production November 26, 2013 03:17 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email Source: Prince Agri Products An ongoing project conducted on 427 dairies throughout the U.S. during the past six years has demonstrated the importance of a well-functioning immune system to support dairy cattle health and milk production. The project, known as the Immunity Challenge, conducted by Prince Agri Products, Inc., enables dairy owners, veterinarians and feed consulting professionals to evaluate the benefits of including an immune-supporting nutritional supplement in a best practices nutritional program for dry and lactating cows. "Healthy cows in general produce more milk, rebreed sooner and have longer, more productive life spans," said Jim Chapman, Ph.D., a Prince Agri Products dairy technical manager who leads the study. "The modern day dairy cow, because of the physical and metabolic demands associated with high milk production, may be predisposed to opportunistic diseases or infections, resulting in reduced time spent in profitable milk production." The study utilizes OmniGen-AF®, a nutritional supplement from Prince Agri Products that can help support a cow's natural immune function. A well-functioning immune system is vital to maintaining overall cow health. The Immunity Challenge involves adding the supplement to cow diets for 90 days, then measuring changes in their health and milk production as compared to the 90-day period prior to adding the nutritional supplement. The project has included herd sizes ranging from 38 to 6,700 milking cows, with a total of 273,707 cows in the project. Results from 2007 through 2012 included: Reduced disease and other health events. There were 13.6 percent fewer mastitis cases per month, a 20.0 percent reduction in retained fetal membrane cases as a percentage of fresh cows, a 22.6 percent reduction in metritis cases as a percentage of fresh cows, a 16.7 percent reduction in cows delivered to the hospital pen and a 23.2 percent reduction in total herd death loss. Lower somatic cell count (SCC). Bulk tank SCC averages were tracked through the 90-day feeding period. A total of 72.6 percent of the herds summarized reported a drop in bulk tank SCC of just over 50,000. Sixty-three percent of the herds were 300,000 SCC or lower, prior to starting the program. Increased milk production. The research also showed a positive impact on pounds of milk produced, although that was not a focus of the study. "Proper management and good nutrition can help support a cow's natural immune system which in turn can reduce the occurrence of disease, lower treatment costs and improve milk quality and milk production," Dr. Chapman said, in summarizing the findings. About Prince Agri Products Prince Agri Products, Inc. is a leading provider of high-quality trace minerals and nutritional supplements that support nutrition for dairy cows, beef cattle, swine, poultry and companion animals. Prince offers innovative, science-based solutions that help enhance health, productivity and profitability.

The season of barbecues and cookouts is here, and many of us will be enjoying burgers and steaks, chicken and fish hot off the grill. But don't forget to add vegetables and fruits to your grilling repertoire as well. That's the message from Shirley Perryman, Extension Specialist in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University. These foods are not only high in nutritional value and low in calories, they don't form the potentially dangerous compounds called HCAs that can occur when meat, poultry, and fish are grilled.
In a recent press release, Perryman offers suggestions for successfully grilling both vegetables and fruits. For example, she suggests drizzling vegetables with low water content such as carrots, mushrooms, asparagus, and summer squash with oil prior to grilling so they won't stick. She notes that while marinades can enhance the flavor of many grilled veggies, marinades containing added sugar will cause the vegetables to blacken when grilled. Both white and sweet potatoes can be steamed on the grill in foil packets, seasoned with a little olive oil, salt, and a scattering of chopped fresh herbs.
For a healthful dessert or to use in a tasty fruit salsa, try grilling fruits such as nectarines, peaches, bananas, apples, pineapples, and pears. Yum!

FORT JACKSON, SC -- In the past two months, three Army soldiers have died after taking the Army physical fitness test during basic training at Fort Jackson, SC.
Pvt. Andrea Rosser, 21, of Raleigh, NC, collapsed and later died on Oct. 25, according to the Army Times and The State of Columbia, SC. Pvt. Dominique Brooks, 19, of Houston, died Sept. 25 after having a seizure on her barracks floor, and Pvt. Derryl Britt, 20, of Durham, NC, died Sept. 27 when he was taken off life support after surgery to repair a brain hemorrhage, according to media reports.
Rosser was one week away from completing the nine-week course. Her death is still under investigation.
"I think all of us are surprised both by the close time of their deaths but also by the young ages of the soldiers," Col. Brian Prosser, commander of the 193rd Infantry Brigade, told the Army Times.
Rosser's mother, Georgette, told the Army Times that her daughter died while attempting to pass the 2-mile-run portion of the Army fitness test, which also includes timed push-ups and sit-ups. This was Rosser's fifth attempt at passing the timed run, her mother told the Army Times. Soldiers have to run the eight laps in just under 20 minutes to pass.
During her fifth attempt, Rosser was on her final lap when she began showing signs of physical distress, according to an Army spokesperson. Rosser was still breathing and conscious when paramedics arrived. They performed CPR on Rosser on the way to a nearby hospital, but she was pronounced dead an hour later.
Aside from the three recent deaths, 22 soldiers have died over the past five years while assigned to the Army's five basic combat training centers, a spokesperson said. Of the eight deaths that occurred on duty, five were related to physical training or heat casualties. About 50,000 soldiers go through basic training and advanced individual training at Fort Jackson each year. About half of all soldiers and 70 percent of women entering the Army each year receive basic training at Fort Jackson.
According to a 2004 study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, unexpected deaths among recruits are rare throughout the U.S. military. From 1977 to 2001, only 126 of 6.3 million recruits who entered basic training died a sudden death, or a death that occurs unexpectedly or without trauma. Of the 126 deaths, 108 occurred during exercise, researchers found.
Before entering basic training, all recruits undergo a physical examination at one of several United States Military Entrance Processing Command centers, the Army Times reports. Recruits also have their medical history reviewed to look for any pre-existing medical conditions. The Army sometimes grants medical waivers to recruits with health conditions that could make them ineligible for service. Rosser's mother told the Army Times that her daughter did not need a waiver.
The Army has not said if the other two soldiers who died, Brooks or Britt, entered the Army under medical waivers.

Recall group denies MEA backing
LANSING, Mich. — Charges that a group working to recall Gov. Rick Snyder is a front for the Michigan Education Association were levied by the Michigan Republican Party on Monday, after the recall organizers provided a union fax number in documents filed with the state, according to media reports.
The group, Michigan Citizens United, is made up of a variety of individuals, including some MEA members, a spokesman told AnnArbor.com. The group's treasurer, Gail Schmidt of Omer, is an MEA field assistant.
Doug Pratt, a spokesman for the MEA, told The Detroit News that the union is not involved in the recall effort and that it is looking into use of the fax number.
The Michigan Republican Party denounced the recall effort in a press release, The Detroit News reported.
"Why are teachers' union dues being spent on an effort to recall a governor who took office less than five months ago?" state GOP Chairman Robert Schostak was quoted in the release.
Michigan Citizens United filed the recall petition in Washtenaw County on Monday, but cannot begin collecting signatures until the county elections commission conducts a hearing on whether the wording on the petition is clear, AnnArbor.com reported.

200 Years of Syntax
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book argues convincingly against the widespread opinion that very few syntactic studies were carried out before the 1950s. Relying on the detailed analysis of a large amount of original sources, it shows that syntactic matters were in fact carefully investigated throughout both the 19th century and during the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, it illustrates how the enormous development of syntactic research in the last fifty years has already condemned even several recent ideas and analyses to oblivion, and deeply influenced current research programs. The wealth of research undertaken over the last two centuries is presented here in a systematic way, taking as its starting point the relationship of syntax with psychology throughout this period. The critical ideas expressed in the text are based on a detailed illustration of the different syntactic models and analyses rather than on the polemics between the different schools.
A Concise Hopi and English Lexicon
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- A Concise Hopi and English Lexicon is a lexical research tool for persons interested in the Hopi language. An effort has been made to include the most frequent forms of basic roots. The work is designed to serve as wide-ranging an audience as possible: Hopi speakers as well as those not fluent in this language, the scholar as well as the general reader. The lexicon treats the Third Mesa dialect and the vocabulary items are limited to items of common usage. The work is presented in two sections: the first and main section is Hopi-English and the second is an English-Hopi index.
A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Literary Language and Characterization
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book focusses on computer methodologies as a way of investigating language and character in literary texts. Both theoretical and practical, it surveys investigations into characterization in literary linguistics and personality in social psychology, before carrying out a computational analysis of Virginia Woolf's experimental novel The Waves. Frequencies of grammatical and semantic categories in the language of the six speaking characters are analyzed using Wmatrix software developed by UCREL at Lancaster University. The quantitative analysis is supplemented by a qualitative analysis into recurring patterns of metaphor. The author concludes that these analyses successfully differentiate all six characters, both synchronically and diachronically, and claims that this methodology is also applicable to the study of personality in non-literary language. The book, written in a clear and accessible style, will be of interest to post-graduate students and academics in linguistics, stylistics, literary studies, psychology and also computational approaches.
A Corpus-driven Study of Discourse Intonation
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- The book is the first to apply David Brazil's Discourse Intonation systems (prominence, tone, key and termination) to the study of a corpus of authentic, naturally-occurring spoken discourses. The Hong Kong Corpus of Spoken English (prosodic) is made up of approximately one million words consisting of four sub-corpora of equal size, namely academic, conversation, business and public. The participants are all adults and typically have either Cantonese or English as their first language. The four Discourse Intonation systems are described in terms of how the system works and how they are manifested in the corpus, both across the sub-corpora and also across speakers in the corpus. The book is accompanied with a CD containing the prosodically transcribed corpus together with iConc which is the software designed and written specifically to interrogate the HKCSE (prosodic). The issues raised and discussed are all of importance in Conversation Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Discourse Intonation, Pragmatics, and Intercultural Communication.
A Dictionary of English Normative Grammar 1700–1800 (DENG)
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Eighteenth-century English grammarians plead eloquently for purity, precision and perspicuity, but their method of teaching largely amounts to citing examples of impurity, imprecision and lack of clarity from contemporary writings. This book is the first of its kind to provide a detailed systematic account of such 'errors'. Apart from source and page references, the Dictionary gives the context of the error (I have not wept this forty years), the correct or 'target' form ('these forty years'), the name of the authors quoted by the grammarians ('Addison', 'Swift'), and the labels which sum up their assessment of the error ('absurd', 'solecism'). It operates with error categories such as ambiguity, ellipsis and government (fourteen in all), which are subdivided into grammatically described main entries, subentries, and so on. The Introduction includes a guide to the use of the Dictionary, the grammatical code, and a discussion of grammatical concepts, error typologies, problems of identifying literary sources, attitudes to correctness, grammatical figures, and other topics. A Bibliography and an Index of lexical items and technical terms round off the volume. The way the Dictionary is organized should make it possible to find in it the answer to a wide variety of questions pertaining to grammar, style and linguistic historiography.

A Dynamic Approach to Second Language Development
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Dynamic systems theory, a general theory of change and development, offers a new way to study first and second language development and requires a new set of tools for analysis of empirical data. After a brief introduction to the theory, this book, co-authored by several leading scholars in the field, concentrates on tools and techniques recently developed to analyze language data from a dynamic perspective. The chapters deal with the general thoughts and reasoning behind coding data, analyzing variability, discovering interacting variables and modeling. The accompanying How to sections give step-by-step instructions to using macros to speed up the coding, creating a dedicated lexical profile, making min-max graphs, testing for significance in single case studies by running simulations, and modeling. Example files and data sets are available on the accompanying website (http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/lllt.29.website). Although the focus is on second language development, the tools are applicable to a wide range of phenomena in applied linguistics.
A French-English Grammar
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- In this contrastive French-English grammar, the comparisons between French structures and their English equivalents are formulated as rules which associate a French schema (of a particular grammatical structure) with its translation into an equivalent English schema. The grammar contains all the rules giving the English equivalents under translation of the principal grammatical structures of French: the verb phrase, the noun phrase and the adjuncts (modifiers). In addition to its intrinsic linguistic interest, this comparative grammar has two important applications. The translation equivalences it contains can provide a firm foundation for the teaching of the techniques of translation. Furthermore, such a comparative grammar is a necessary preliminary to any program of machine translation, which needs a set of formal rules, like those given here for the French-to-English case, for translating into a target language the syntactic structures encountered in the source language.
A Functional Grammar of Gooniyandi
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This volume sets out to provide a comprehensive description of the grammar of Gooniyandi, a non-Pama-Nyungan language of the southern-central Kimberley region of Western Australia. It covers phonetics and phonology, word phrase and clause structure, and the semantics of closed-class grammatical items. The major focus is, however, on meaning: how do Gooniyandi speakers mean with and in their language. To this end, the theoretical framework of systemic functional grammar, particularly as elaborated in Halliday's recent work, is adopted. Certain refinements to the theory are proposed in order to better account for the Gooniyandi evidence. Of obvious importance to those studying Australian aboriginal languages, this work has an importance to a wider audience for its effective presentation of theory justification.
A Glance at the History of Linguistics

- This volume presents a translation into English of Holger Pedersen's Et Blik på Sprogvidenskabens Historie (Copenhagen 1916). In addition, it provides an introductory article by E.F.K. Koerner on Pedersen's life and work, and a bibliography of his writings.
A Grammar of Luwo
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book is a description of Luwo, a Western Nilotic language of South Sudan. Luwo is used by multilingual, dynamic communities of practice as one language among others that form individual and flexible repertoires. It is a language that serves as a means of expressing the Self, as a medium of art and self-actualization, and sometimes as a medium of writing. It is spoken in the home and in public spaces, by fairly large numbers of people who identify themselves as Luwo and as members of all kinds of other groups. In order to provide insights into these dynamic and diverse realities of Luwo, this book contains both a concise description and analysis of the linguistic features and structures of Luwo, and an approach to the anthropological linguistics of this language. The latter is presented in the form of separate chapters on possession, number, experiencer constructions, spatial orientation, perception and cognition. In all sections of this study, sociolinguistic information is provided wherever this is useful and possible, detailed information on the semantics of grammatical features and constructions is given, and discussions of theory-oriented approaches to various linguistic features of Luwo are presented.

A Historical Syntax of Late Middle Indo-Aryan (Apabhraṃśa)
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This monograph aims to close the gap in our knowledge of the nature and pace of grammatical change during the formative period of today's Indo-Aryan languages. During the 6th-12th c. the gradual erosion of the synthetic morphology of Old Indo-Aryan resulted ultimately in the remodelling of its syntax in the direction of the New Indo-Aryan analytic type.
This study concentrates on the emergence and development of the ergative construction in terms of the passive-to-ergative reanalysis and the co-existence of the ergative construction with the old and new analytic passive constructions. Special attention is paid to the actuation problem seen as the tug of war between conservative and eliminative forces during their development. Other chapters deal with the evolution of grammatical and lexical aspect, causativization, modality, absolute constructions and subordination.
This study is based on a wealth of new data gleaned from original poetic works in Apabhraṃśa (by Svayaṃbhādeva, Puṣpadanta, Haribhadra, Somaprabha et al.). It contains sections dealing with descriptive techniques of Medieval Indian grammarians (esp. Hemacandra). All the Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhraṃśa examples are consistently parsed and translated.
The opus is cast in the theoretical framework of Functional Grammar of the Prague and Amsterdam Schools. It should be of particular interest to scholars and students of Indo-Aryan and general historical linguistics, especially those interested in the issues of morphosyntactic change and typology in their sociohistorical setting.
A History of Indo-European Verb Morphology
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book explores the origin and evolution of important grammatical categories of the Indo-European verb, including the markers of person, tense, number, aspect, and mood. Its central thesis is that many of these markers can be traced to original deictic particles which were incorporated into verbal structures in order to indicate the 'hic and nunc' and various degrees of remoteness from the 'hic and nunc'. The alterations to which these deictic elements were subject are viewed here in the context of an Indo-European language very different from Brugmannian Indo-European, many features of which, it is argued, appeared only in the period of dialectal development. This book challenges numerous traditional proposals about the Indo-European verb; all reconstructions contained in it are firmly based on extant data and are consonant with established principles of linguistic change.
A History of Language Philosophies
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Theory and history combine in this book to form a coherent narrative of the debates on language and languages in the Western world, from ancient classic philosophy to the present, with a final glance at on-going discussions on language as a cognitive tool, on its bodily roots and philogenetic role.
An introductory chapter reviews the epistemological areas that converge into, or contribute to, language philosophy, and discusses their methods, relations, and goals. In this context, the status of language philosophy is discussed in its relation to the sciences and the arts of language. Each chapter is followed by a list of suggested readings that refer the reader to the final bibliography.

A Life for Language
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- Leonard Bloomfield (1887-1949) was one of the greatest linguists of the twentieth century. He devoted his entire life to a thorough-going study of language, its structure and its use, summed up in masterly fashion in his book Language (1933). After his premature death at the age of 62, his work was at first acclaimed as an exemplary application of the scientific method to linguistics, but then fell into unjustified neglect. Now that the centenary of his birth has passed, the time has come for the story of Bloomfield's life and work to be recounted in a biography. Accordingly, basing his discussion on all available materials (including some information not accessible until recently), Professor Hall has presented Bloomfield's life history in its intellectual and cultural setting. This book is not only a biography, but also a personal memoir, in which Hall draws on his contacts with Bloomfield, who was his teacher at Chicago and a senior colleague at Yale. There emerges from this study a fuller picture than we have had heretofore, presenting both Bloomfield's recognized achievement in establishing the study of language as a scientific discipline, and the less-known aspects of his character and of his personal life, which in certain respects was very tragic and sad.
A Method for Linguistic Metaphor Identification
- + Show Description - Hide Description
- This book presents a complete method for the identification of metaphor in language at the level of word use. It is based on extensive methodological and empirical corpus-linguistic research in two languages, English and Dutch. The method is formulated as an explicit manual of instructions covering one chapter, the method being a development and refinement of the popular MIP procedure presented by the Pragglejaz Group in 2007. The extended version is called MIPVU, as it was developed at VU University Amsterdam. Its application is demonstrated in five case studies addressing metaphor in English news texts, conversations, fiction, and academic texts, and Dutch news texts and conversations. Two methodological chapters follow reporting a series of successful reliability tests and a series of post hoc troubleshooting exercises. The final chapter presents a first empirical analysis of the findings, and shows what this type of methodological attention can mean for research and theory.
A Neurolinguistic Theory of Bilingualism

- This volume is the outcome of 25 years of research into the neurolinguistic aspects of bilingualism. In addition to reviewing the world literature and providing a state-of-the-art account, including a critical assessment of the bilingual neuroimaging studies, it proposes a set of hypotheses about the representation, organization and processing of two or more languages in one brain. It investigates the impact of the various manners of acquisition and use of each language on the extent of involvement of basic cerebral functional mechanisms. The effects of pathology as a means to understanding the normal functioning of verbal communication processes in the bilingual and multilingual brain are explored and compared with data from neuroimaging studies. In addition to its obvious research benefits, the clinical and social reasons for assessment of bilingual aphasia with a measuring instrument that is linguistically and culturally equivalent in each of a patient's languages are stressed. The relationship between language and thought in bilinguals is examined in the light of evidence from pathology. The proposed linguistic theory of bilingualism integrates a neurofunctional model (the components of verbal communication and their relationships: implicit linguistic competence, metalinguistic knowledge, pragmatics, and motivation) and a set of hypotheses about language processing (neurofunctional modularity, the activation threshold, the language/cognition distinction, and the direct access hypothesis).

Growing cotton in the U.S. will provide some daunting challenges in 2007, but these may dwarf in comparison with marketing cotton over the next few years.
Though the demand for cotton products is up, so is the competition from synthetic fibers. The quest of U.S. cotton manufacturers and marketers to 'pillage the synthetic village' is getting more difficult, as more and better synthetic fiber alternatives come onto the market.
Mike Watson, vice-president fiber competition with Cotton Incorporated says the dwindling domestic demand and increased foreign demand for U.S. grown cotton over the past decade or so has created some difficult tasks. Principle among these tasks for U.S. cotton growers is to grow the kind of cotton China and other major importers of cotton want and need for their textile production systems.
Watson explains that cotton is grouped into three broad quality categories: fine, medium and coarse. China and most other countries that have increased textile production over the past decade use a ring spinning system. This production system works best with fine grades of cotton. Key to fine grades of cotton is staple length, typically 35 or better.
The U.S. textile industry, which now uses significantly less U.S. grown cotton than China and only about one-fourth of the annual U.S. crop, uses a rotor spinning system. This system works best with medium grades of cotton.
Over the years, U.S. producers learned how to adapt this system to varying lengths of cotton fiber, so staple length is not a critical factor. Fiber color was likewise not a critical issue, unless it was ridiculously low.
The U.S. industry, using engineered fiber selection and other technologies and learned how to utilize a wide range of cotton micronaire. All these factors combined, made the middle grade of cotton ideal for U.S. production.
"Farmers cannot make the change from medium to fine grades of cotton alone, it will take a team approach," Watson emphasizes. He notes that the New York cotton futures standard and CCC loan schedules are based on, making it critical for changes to occur across the board. Changes are occurring and more premiums are available now for these premium grades of cotton, but these changes have been gradual, Watson says.
"Our best estimates are that worldwide, 80 percent of cotton grown is about equally divided between fine and coarse grades of cotton fiber and 20 percent falls in the medium quality range.
"The fine grades are used in high quality clothing apparel and the coarse grade for mop heads and various other products in which quality is not an issue," Watson says. By comparison, a vast majority of U.S. grown cotton is in the medium classification.
To make U.S. grown cotton more attractive to foreign buyers, cotton breeders need to provide growers with varieties that allow them to grow higher quality cotton. Growers need to do the right things to produce a high quality crop. Ginners are going to have to be involved, because over-cleaning or over-drying can take the quality out of a cotton crop, Watson says.
The solution is simple enough: grow more cotton that meets the requirements of foreign buyers. Getting the entire U.S. cotton industry geared up to make these changes has been considerably more difficult.
Watson stresses there is a huge market for coarse grades of cotton — a bigger market for this cheaper cotton worldwide than for the medium grades U.S. producers are growing. If a grower's production system will not produce 35-36 inch staple length cotton, there is a huge market worldwide for discount type cotton.
"If a grower can find a variety that produces high yields of low grade cotton, there is a big opportunity. Growers often ask, why does my worst cotton sell first? It's because there is a huge market for this type cotton worldwide," Watson says.
Maintaining yield and quality has long-been considered impractical, if not impossible by most cotton growers. Roy Cantrell, vice-president agricultural research, for Cotton Incorporated disagrees with that assessment.
"We have to grow better cotton than is grown in other parts of the world just to stay competitive," Cantrell says. "We are making progress, especially with the varieties that are being planted today."
"We've also seen tremendous improvements in micronaire. The days of having huge acreage of U.S. cotton discounted because of high micronaire are behind us now. The perception that we can't have both high quality and high yields is bogus, because you can have both, Cantrell stresses.
He notes that in China and India over 50 percent of the cotton grown are hybrid varieties. There is as much hybrid vigor in cotton as there is corn.
He points out that despite great advances in breeding for improved staple length and micronaire, it is difficult to compare U.S. cotton to China and India, because the production practices are so different.
Production issues at the farm level have become forever tangled with marketing issues for U.S. cotton growers, because such a high percentage (approximately 16 million of 20 million bales from the 2006 crop) of the U.S. crop is exported.
Mark Messura, executive vice-president global product supply chain, with Cotton Incorporated says U.S. cotton growers must face the reality that China is and will be for some time the leading market for U.S. cotton growers, and a leading market in the future for finished goods, but these won't necessarily be cotton products.
"We think China now uses about 11 million-12 million bales of cotton in the form of finished products. The per capita use of cotton goods in China is extremely low. While there is tremendous potential for growth in cotton use, the upcoming generations of consumers in China, Brazil, India and other emerging nations will have more options for fiber than any previous generation. "We cannot assume the rise in population will automatically mean a rise in cotton consumption," Messura stresses.
He points out that approximately 80 percent of cotton exported to China comes back to the U.S. in the form of finished cotton products. The U.S. is by far the largest consumer of cotton products (approximately 24 million bales of cotton in 2006). Maintaining the U.S. market for cotton products is critical for U.S. growers. Likewise developing new markets worldwide is a must if cotton production is to continue to increase in the U.S. and worldwide.
"The whole U.S. cotton industry needs to think globally. The truth is that most consumers don't care where the cotton product is manufactured or where the cotton in it is grown. At the point of purchase, the geography is irrelevant," Messura says.
Ric Hendee, vice-president marketing services, for Cotton Incorporated says women in the 35-45 age bracket are the biggest buyers of cotton products. However, the fastest growing segment and the one targeted as the most important to CI are women in the 18-35 age bracket.
If these buying trends are similar in China and other emerging nations, especially India, marketing cotton products made from U.S. cotton will face some interesting tasks and opportunities. In China, for example, there are more people under the age of 14 than the entire U.S. population. However, 75 percent of the youthful Chinese population is male.
Over the next 10 years, China will have more than 10 times the people in the critical 18-25 age bracket as the U.S. India, another emerging giant in cotton consumption has similar population dynamics. And, in 2007, India is expected to harvest more cotton than the U.S. and to market some of that crop in competition with U.S. cotton.
The pressure to sell U.S. grown cotton to China is intense. However, as of February 2007, U.S. cotton sales to China for the 2006-2006 crop is more than six million bales behind February 2006 sales of the 2005-2006 crop.
Though pressure to sell U.S. cotton to China continues along at a fever pace, it is not a solitary race. Twenty new fibers, all competing with cotton for market share, were introduced into the marketplace in recent years. Competition for markets with these fibers has led Watson to make it his mantra to "pillage the global synthetic village."
Kim Kitchings, director of supply chain planning for CI, says pillaging the synthetic village will take a unified effort by the entire cotton industry. She points out that one synthetic fiber, Lycra, spent $40 million in advertising, nearly double Cotton Incorporated's entire advertising budget. She stresses this is just one of a number of fibers competing with cotton.
At the grower level, the varieties grown and production practices used are critical in making U.S. grown cotton competitive with foreign cotton for export markets. To meet USDA projections of 15.7 million bales exported for the 2006 crop, sales would have to be at record levels between February and June. Realistically, the U.S. may have as much as a seven million bale surplus from the 2006 crop.
Historically, surpluses mean low prices, which mean maximum use of government programs. In a year in which the farm bill is up for debate, that is not a good position for U.S. cotton growers.
Despite the challenges to grow and market U.S. cotton, Messura says optimism is high. There is a strong demand worldwide for cotton, and the quality of U.S. cotton continues to be high, and moving toward what is demanded by foreign importers.

Graphing Quadratic Functions Day 1
Lesson 15 of 21
Objective: SWBAT graph a quadratic function by finding the axis of symmetry and vertex as their starting points.
To begin today's lesson, I ask students to work with a partner on the Launch Activity. I will have my students use either a graphing calculator or the desmos.com online calculator for this activity.
I start by writing the General Quadratic Function f(x)=ax^2+bx+c on the board. I like to use desmos for this activity because it is easy for students to set up sliders for the variables a, b, and c (see desmos_sliders) and explore by playing with parameters for the function. Graphing calculators work as well, but not as concretely as using a mouse to drag a slider.
For most of the Launch, I let students work with their partner to play with the parameters to determine which (a, b, or c) make the parabola open upward versus opening downward. Since students are exploring on their own, when it becomes time for students to share their responses, it is important to ask them to be as specific as possible when making observations:
- What coefficients did you try?
- How did each coefficient affect the appearance of the graph?
- Which coefficient was responsible for changing the orientation of the graph?
My goal for the Launch is to guide students towards the understanding that positive values of parameter "a" will result in a parabola that opens upward; negative values of "a" will result in a parabola that opens downwards.

Direct Instruction
Today's closing activity, Graphing_Quadratics_Day 1_Close, was designed to quickly get a good sense of each student's proficiency with finding the vertex of a quadratic function. Students should work on this Exit Ticket individually on a half sheet of paper.
Part 2 of the activity asks students to explain, based on the equation, how they knew whether the parabola has a maximum or minimum value. When I review the students work, I will assess students use of structure (MP7) to understand the general shape of a graph.

What's the difference between serum and face oil?
What about essence? Is essence serum? Essentially. Based on where they come in the routine (after cleansing, before moisturizing) and what function they serve (targeted skincare needs besides simple hydration) serums and essences are very similar. If anything, they differ in texture; Serums are gooier and more concentrated, while essences are watered-down with a more fluid texture (ex. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence ). However, it's mostly a difference in marketing. In Korea, for example, Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum is called an "essence."What about essence? Is essence serum?
OK but $$$$... Yes, serums tend to be on the pricier end of the skincare spectrum. But for a pretty decent reason! Remember that bit about being super concentrated and potent? You are getting your bang for your buck here...OK but $$$$...
Doesn't serum expire really fast? Certain potent ingredients often found in serum can become unstable once they come in contact with air. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), for instace, can oxidize and lose efficacy over time. But thanks to science, modified versions of the ingredient (that are water-soluble, etc.) last longer so they can do your skin more good. Best rule of thumb is to store your vial in a cool, dry place (obviously) and use it up within six months to a year.Doesn't serum expire really fast?
Is serum right for your skin? Probably. Get to know your ingredients first. If you're... Acne-prone : Look for vitamin C (increases collagen production, enhances skin's repair process, and reduces inflammation), retinol (also an antioxidant, reduces inflammation), zinc (soothes irritation, regulates oil production), and salicylic acid (unclogs pores).Is serum right for your skin?
Dry : Look for vitamin E (an antioxidant, protects cells from oxidative damage), niacinamide (improves skin elasticity, increases ceramide levels in skin), glycolic acid (gently exfoliates and lightens discoloration), and hyaluronic acid (retains moisture).
Feeling dull : Look for antioxidants like green tea extract, resveratrol, ferulic acid (these combat free radicals, increase effectiveness of sunscreen by day, and promote cellular repair and healing by night).

Headlight Bulbs blowing on MK7 Fiesta
Dock replied to Martyn's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubDear Reader, Please have patience and fortitude, my story below will take a minute or two to read. I really need good advice from anyone who has experience of taking on Ford with a technical fault that is clearly a design flaw... I have arranged replacement tomorrow by my Ford local dealer (from whom I bought the new 58-plate Mk7 Fiesta Titanium 1.6 TDCi) of the latest of several (dipped) headlamp bulbs that have blown since buying the car. Bulbs in both headlamps have gone at different times, each time after only a few months of average UK use. The last time I did this, after several previous replacements, for some of which I was charged, some kindly not, on dispiritedly taking it in again I was informed (politely as always) that Ford had come up with a 'fix' for the problem, caused as mentioned earlier in this thread, by voltage spikes. I arranged for the kits, consisting of a resistor 'choke' behind each bulb socket, to be fitted (for which again the dealer considerately waived charges, evidently valuing my patronage; the car was by that time out of warranty) simultaneously with the blown bulb, and drove away, hoping not to have to call again, for a reasonable period of time, anyway. (BTW Although I have personally maintained a wide variety of vehicles for many years, I shied away from trying to replace the bulbs myself after looking at the very cramped space in which to work). Now it's clear that the 'problem' hasn't been resolved by the 'fix' kit, as another bulb has blown after only a couple of months. I have asked my dealer for a full list of the service events involving the bulb replacements, and for the fix kit installation, to document the history of this issue. It is clear to me, particularly now that I have learned that some Kuga models also suffer from the problem, that this fault arises from a design flaw in the car's electrical system, or perhaps the control unit. I imagine (but do not know for sure) that the control system software plays a part in the charging and lighting power functions of the car, so it seems logical to suggest that a software patch may be required. I have no idea how Ford manage these issues, and I am well aware, this being the 6th nearly-new or new Ford that I have owned, that they are very reluctant to admit to faults in their products, so tackling the supplier head-on may be a wearisome and ultimately unproductive process. I hope to enlist my dealer's assistance in doing so, but I have no idea what are the chances of success. This Fiesta was one of the early ones off the new production line, and it clearly carries at least one teething problem that has not yet been fully resolved - Ford's provision of the fix kit is an indication of their acknowledgement of the existence of the problem. I want to find a way to stop this senseless waste of time and money, replacing expensive halogen bulbs that should not blow in their short lifetime. I want to find a way to get Ford to admit liability for the design flaw, and provide a proper solution; one that works, permanently. Any advice that anyone can provide would be greatly welcomed. Thank you. Sam
Dock started following Headlight Bulbs blowing on MK7 Fiesta
As I was told to expect, my 1600 TDCi Fiesta Titanium took more than 15,000 miles from new to start to return a decent diesel fuel consumption - after 12,000 miles, i could feel the engine start to loosen up and display its phenomenal torque between 1800 and 3000 RPM. One has to be patient with a new diesel engine. Now just turned 40,000 miles young, I can get better than 65 MPG on easy driving in the summer, although not so good in the winter (more like 55-58 MPG). It seems that diesel engines in small cars are very sensitive to air temperature, and length of time taken to warm up - they only show the reward of good balance of diesel power in a light frame once the engine's warm; until then, they guzzle! Also, it's very true what they say about MPG being very dependent on road speed - I can maintain 65 MPG at up to 60 MPH cruising speed, but any faster than that, and the MPG drops off dramatically. If you want to benefit from the economy of these cars, you need a light right foot, and keep the speed sensible. Mr. Clarkson wouldn't like one, I'm sure!
Hi all new Fiesta enthusiasts! So far, I'm very pleased with my Fiesta 1.6 TDCi Titanium 5d in morello - very stylish. 53 mpg and rising, and still less than 1000 miles on the clock. My partner has an older Fusion 1.6 TDCi ('07, 14000 miles), which returns an average better than 63 mpg, so I'm hopeful to achieve better from the Fiesta, once run in. I know this takes a while with a diesel. What's really impressive with the Fiesta is its quiet, firm and purposeful ride. It feels like a much bigger car, and like other respondents I've seen many sideways glances from people. Happy stylish and economical motoring. Dock. BTW, does anyone know, what number version of Fiesta is this one? - v4, v5?
