They say the sky can be painted in any color, but nothing compares with a pink-purple late evening sky. Believe it or not, a tree actually reassembles this glorious view. If you only want feel its magnificent touch, all you have to do, is to visit Japan and venture into the country's breathtaking Ashikaga Flower Park.
Though the multicolored park isn't the largest in the world, it is definitely the home of the most beautiful tree on Earth. For over one and a half century, here grows a stately Wisteria, a gorgeous, massive tree that leaves everyone open-mouthed.
View this post on Instagram
When full bloom, the 150-year-old tree looks nothing short of stunning. Its flowers turn the place into a pink sky, or more into a gathering of pinky clouds – depending on whom you ask. Either way, its beauty is indeed remarkable, and the countless photos of it stand as a proof.
An impressive appearance, the tree needed some extra help from humans to look like that, and to keep its gleam over the years. A steel structure has been built to sustain the tree's branches and this way, to avoid them collapsing under its own heavyweight.

Due to this structure, the Wisteria looks even more magical, just like a gigantic umbrella made out of pink and bright purple flowers. The place is like a Mecca for photographers and nature enthusiasts from all over the world. However, the best time to visit the most famous Wisteria tree is from middle of April to the middle of May. It's when it is full bloom.

Quote attributed to MMY many years ago. The quote was on the web page below (it is now removed/dead). It appeared to be a Russian language site with the quote below in English. Since MMY speaks, traditionally, to most audiences in English it may be assumed that these words are NOT a translation of some other language.
While making a reference to the Mantras, in this manner, I feel like touching a very vital aspect of Sadhana [sic], which things are blurred in the present atmosphere of too much talk of Vedanta.
Obviously enough there are two ways of life, the way of life of a Sanyasi and the way of life of a householder. One is quite opposed to the other. A Sanyasi renounces every thing of the world, whereas a householder needs and accumulates everything. Shastras declare both the ways of life to be the paths of emancipation. Both are said to be the "Moksha-Marga" Nivarthi Marga and 'Privathi Marga'. The one realizes through renunciation and detachment, while the other goes through all attachments and accumulation or all that is needed for physical life. We have to suit the two ways of life. Mantras for the Sanyasis have the effect of increasing the sense of detachment and renunciation, and also have the power of destroying the objects of worldly affections, if there should survive any such objects for him. Quite contrary to this are the Mantras suitable for the householder which have the efficacy of harmonizing and enriching the material aspect of life also.
The Mantras of the Sanyasi have a destructive effect in the material field of life, whereas the Mantras suited to the householder envisage constructive values also.
"Om" is the Mantra for the Sanyasi. The Sanyasi repeats "Om" "Om" Om". It is given to him at the time of 'Sanyas-Diksha', at the time when he has completely renounced attachment to the world. Renunciation and detachment increase with the repetition of 'Om', 'Om' is chanted aloud by a Sanyasi to put on end to his desires. Desire are destroyed by loudly chanting the mantra 'Om'. And if there is of any desire deeply rooted in the mind of the Sanyasi, the chanting of 'Om' will result in destruction of the object of such desire in order to make the Sanyasi wholly desireless. The Sanyasi attains peace through the renunciation and destruction of desires, whereas the peace comes to the householder when his needs are satisfied, when his desires are fulfilled. The mantras for the householders have the effect of fulfilling the desires.
If unfortunately the householder begins to repeat the pranava Mantra viz. 'Om', 'Om" Om' he experiences destructive effects in his material life. The effect starts with monetary loss and then goes on to destroy objects of affection, one by one. Such a man, when he finds loss of money and separation from the dear ones, he is reduced to utter peacelessness and frustration. Where is the chance of spiritual development or experience of Peace and happiness for such a dejected soul? The path of peacelessness and misery in the world cannot lead to Eternal happiness. If the man is proceeding towards Eternal happiness, every day he should feel the increase of peace and happiness, and this alone will assure him that he is proceeding towards abiding peace and eternal happiness. If you walk towards the light you should be able to feel the increase crease of light at every step. If you are spending some time in devotion to God, you should feel peace and happiness in life. , that the Mantras that you are repeating do not suit you. The mantras that suit the Sanyasis can never suit the householders. Hundreds of God-loving and God-fearing families, have been ruined due to the destructive effects of Sanyasa Mantra viz, "Om". "Om" destroys desires and also destroys the objects of desires and therefore it produces calmness of mind and renunciation and detachment from material life only to Sanyasis when they repeat Om; to them it brings the experience of peace of mind and from this experience they generally recommend the chanting of 'Om' to their followers. But when a householder repeats Om, he experiences that as long as he is repeating 'Om' he feels peace of mind, but when he comes out to indulge in business or household work, he finds that the air is against his desire and schemes. The silencing effect on the mind and destructive effects in material life, both are experienced side by side. Some people say that we should ignore material life in regard to the devotional practices and Mantras. But this is a fool's ideology. Can you possibly ignore the considerations of material life, when the Mantras do affect it? Select a path which will make you happier in your material life also. Do not live in a fool's paradise. Do not think that your sufferings end miseries of today will work as reservations in the galleries of heaven for tomorrow. Be peaceful and happy in the present and try to make this state permanent. This is the path of Deliverance in Life Jeevan-Mukti, the most exalted state in human existence, the state of abiding Peace and Eternal Bliss. And this you are entitled to have through correct and suitable Sadhana. And because the Mantras play an important role in the field of Sadhana, you must be very very careful in the selection of the Mantra. The theory of Mantras is the theory of sound. It is most scientific and natural. Ladies should never repeat any Mantra beginning with Om. The pronunciation of Om is like fire to the ladies. This is the practical experience of many devoted ladies who repeated 'Om Namah Shivaya' or 'Om Namonarayanaya' or 'Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya' or any such mantra beginning with Om. It cannot be God's wish that you should suffer in your devotion to him. Do not cling to the unhelpful Mantras. The moment you find you have got into the wrong train, it is wise to get down from it as soon as possible. It is foolish to stick on to the wrong train and go wherever it takes you.
I hold that the devotees of the Almighty God should not suffer at all. 'That is the fundamental condition of the path to Eternal Bliss. I hold that bliss or happiness should increase at every step till we get into the realm of eternal happiness. I hold that the devotees of the god should enjoy peace and happiness at every stage, because he is the fountain head of all peace and happiness. It cannot be that our march towards the light should at any stage increase the darkness before us. The march towards the Anant Anandam must give the experience of increase of Anandam at every step and in every walk of life.
The devotee of the Almighty cannot suffer. If he is found to suffer, he cannot be said to be a devotee of God. lt pains me when I find people suffering in the name of God and devotion. I offer an open invitation to such aspirants and seekers of God. I invite them to come out of their miserable devotion, and step into the peaceful blissful chambers of Sadhana, blessed and illumined by the divine radiance of Shri Guru Deva. I invite them to put an end to their sufferings and peacelessness and crown their day to day life with success peace and joy. Do not waste time and life. Life is to enjoy. So come on to the field of all joy. The gates of all glories of life are open for you. "Make hay when the sun shines". Avail the opportunity in hand and enjoy life to the fullest.

Running Tips to Prevent Injury
Love it or hate it, everybody knows that running is one of the best workouts that a person can do. The benefits it provides are incredible and try as you might, you'd be hard-pressed to find another exercise that gives you the same benefits. From promoting weight loss to preventing disease, running every day is a great way to stay healthy, relieve stress, and even help with mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. There's no question that running is one of the best ways to develop and maintain overall physical wellness.
As great as running is, it doesn't come without a few drawbacks. For example, there are a list of common injuries that runners often suffer from as a direct result of their healthy habit. From runner's knee to shin splints and more, runners can suffer from some pretty painful and serious injuries. Some of them are unpreventable (such as slipping and falling or twisting an ankle), but most of them are preventable with the right training. In an effort to help you run safely, here are several tips to help you run safely and without injuring yourself.
Stretch, Stretch, Stretch
Stretching is one of the most important aspects of physical wellness, but it's also one of the most neglected. In fact, most of the most common injuries that athletes suffer from are directly caused by a lack of flexibility. Running is no exception to this. Stretching will do more to prevent injury than almost anything else. So before your run, take five minutes or so to stretch your hamstrings and quads. And after you've finished, be sure to stretch for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to make sure that your muscles are adequately stretched. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later when you avoid a serious injury!
Add Strength Training to Your Workout Plan
Most runners neglect strength training, as they believe that extra muscle will do nothing but slow them down. That is an unfortunate and potentially dangerous mindset to have. Adding strength training to your workout program will allow you to run with greater stability, which will in turn help you to avoid getting injured as you run. Not only that, it will allow you to run more efficiently and, when done correctly, will even help you to run faster. What's more, you can do your strength training while you run. By running through the mountains or on a treadmill with incline, you can get in your running for the day while strengthening the core muscle groups that will help to stabilize you and prevent injury.
Know and Respect Your Limits
One of the most dangerous things that a runner can do is to try to work themselves beyond their limit. It can be tempting to work too hard and cross your limit, but once you do, it is likely that you will get injured. When your body is fatigued, it can be dangerous, as you can suffer from dehydration, heat exhaustion, hyperextension, sprained or rolled ankles, and other injuries. Many runners work themselves over their limits because they sign up for races or running evens that they haven't adequately prepared for. For example, if you have never run more than ten miles and sign up for a half marathon, you'll definitely be tempted to finish it. However, once you pass the ten mile mark, you risk suffering from any of the aforementioned injuries. It's best to call it a day, train properly, and tackle it the next time.
Shorten Your Stride
Many runners (rightfully) believe that the longer their stride, the faster they'll go. After all, a longer stride means you're covering more ground with each step. And while it can have some benefits, it definitely has some drawbacks that can prove dangerous: the longer your stride, the more pressure you put on your knees, ankles, and legs. Over time, running with a long stride can cause damage to your joints by wearing down the cartilage or damage your bones by causing stress fractures. As appealing as it may sound to lengthen your stride, it's definitely best to keep it short—you have more control that way and you significantly reduce your chances of suffering from a potentially serious injury.

Storm Gertrude wreaks havoc as Met Office issues 'risk to life' warning
Strong winds have wreaked havoc, including blowing over a high-sided vehicle on the A970 at Gulberwick.
Hurricane force winds are predicted this afternoon prompting the Met Office to issue a red "risk to life" warning.
Police, the fire and rescue service and the ambulance service have responded to the call at Gulberwick this morning and found that although the occupants of the vehicle had been trapped for a time they were not injured.
The Met Office originally issued an amber "be prepared" warning but that has been upgraded to a red warning with gusts of up to 100 miles per hour expected.
People have been warned to expect dangerous conditions including structural damage and flying debris. There is also a likelihood of disruption to power supplies. It has been suggested that householders should take action to secure loose items.
Travel links have been disrupted by the west to southwesterly winds. The 7.40am flight from Sumburgh to Kirkwall was delayed for almost three hours. The morning flight to Edinburgh was subject to a similarly lengthy delay, whilst the 8.25am to Aberdeen was cancelled altogether.
Northbound flights have faced similar problems. One flight from Aberdeen was cancelled. Two further flights from Aberdeen were subject to delays, as were flights from Edinburgh and Inverness.
NorthLink ferry services are also affected by the weather. The northbound sailing from Aberdeen to Lerwick has been cancelled while the southbound sailing is under review.
At the time of writing NorthLink planned to sail from Shetland to Aberdeen directly, missing their scheduled stop in Kirkwall. A further boat will sail from Aberdeen to collect passengers in Kirkwall before returning to Aberdeen.
All construction work on the new Anderson High School involving the use of cranes was stopped.
ZetTrans took the decision to cancel buses in light of the weather warning.
Yesterday Shetland Islands Council announced that all schools were to be closed today owing to the severe weather warnings.
Shetland College was also closed to pupils today. At lunchtime staff were told to go home as well.

Universal Life Church Ministries Sues Pa. County for Blocking Internet Minister
A county north of Philadelphia is the latest government entity to be sued by Universal Life Church Ministries for its unwillingness to recognize as a legal wedding officiant a minister ordained through ULCM's online process.
The non-profit, non-denominational organization says in the federal lawsuit that the Bucks County Register of Wills told Stephen H. Moser that he could not preside at legal wedding ceremonies specifically because he was ordained through the internet.
The complaint alleges that denying Moser the right to perform marriages violates the establishment, free exercise, and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The suit asks the court to confirm that ULCM ministers may solemnize legal weddings under Pennsylvania law going forward.
Universal Life Church Ministries, based in Seattle, says it has ordained more than 20 million ministers via the internet. It lists as its founding principle, "we are all children of the same universe" and asks its ministers to embrace two beliefs:
- Do only that which is right
- Every individual is free to practice their religion in the manner of their choosing, as mandated by the First Amendment, so long as that expression does not impinge upon the rights or freedoms of others and is in accordance with the government's laws.

The Pennsylvania case is not the first time the ULCM has sought legal acknowledgement of the validity of its ministers' credentials.
In June of 2019, ULCM and some of its ministers sued several Tennessee officials who began to enforce a state law that explicitly barred ministers who were ordained online from solemnizing marriages within the state. The ULCM was able to secure a restraining order blocking the new law from taking effect, and in December the court said the case could continue.
A similar lawsuit was filed in August 2019 against Cleveland County, North Carolina, Register of Deeds Betsy Harnage, saying she unconstitutionally used her position to block an ordained ULCM minister from exercising the religious right to officiate a legal wedding ceremony. However, that case was dropped after officials disclosed that the couple involved had failed to follow the proper procedure for obtaining a marriage license.
"This case had everything to do with procedure and nothing to do with religious discrimination," Cleveland County Senior Staff Attorney Elliot Engstrom said in a news release.
Harnage later said, "I hope that ULC and others will do their due diligence and gather all of the facts before making harmful allegations."

Emergency alerts and other notifications.
Sign Up
A significant and sudden weight loss in July was the first sign that alerted Zookeeper Dallas LaDucer that something was changing with the 7-year-old male snow leopard, Ketu.
"We spend every day with over 300 animals that are as close to us as family members. We know them very well," states Idaho Falls Zoo Veterinarian Dr. Rhonda Aliah. "We recognize how they vary in age, level of care required, personalities, and preferences. When one of them begins to act differently, or show physical signs of change, we notice. That level of familiarity is how we noticed something was going on with Ketu," explains Aliah.
At the Idaho Falls Zoo, every animal is observed daily by documenting food intake, examining waste output and observing behavior. Exams are done at intervals as prescribed for each species. Each exam includes a standard physical exam, bloodwork and vaccinations as needed, as well as examination of teeth, claws, beaks, etc. If a concern arises, the zookeeper alerts veterinary staff immediately. The animal is then examined and necessary testing is conducted right away.
The zoo's cats are trained to step on a scale to record their weight at least once each month. While it is normal for a cat's weight to fluctuate with the seasons, Ketu's weight loss seemed more pronounced. "An obvious weight loss was my first red flag, even though he was eating well and acting normally at the time," says LaDucer who documented the weight loss and reported it to veterinary staff Dr. Rhonda Aliah and Veterinary Technician Alison Holderman.
Within 2-3 days, Ketu's appetite suddenly declined and he began acting lethargic. The animal care team then sedated Ketu and took blood for testing. The results that came back were definite and disheartening. At only 7 years old, Ketu was diagnosed with acute renal (kidney) failure.
Kidney failure is a common problem among domestic cats and a leading cause of death in household pets. Why would an otherwise healthy, middle-aged cat have kidney failure? "Unfortunately, we don't know," states Dr. Aliah who contacted veterinarians around the country involved in the care of snow leopards. They discussed treatment options and devised a treatment plan for Ketu. "You could say it's similar to an otherwise healthy person getting an unexpected illness," states Holderman. "We don't really understand what the causes are."
"Despite all our best efforts to provide the best treatment, testing and professional consultations, it is probable Ketu will eventually succumb to his illness," states Dr. Aliah. "As with any illness, no one knows how long he has left."
"Rolf, our red-ruffed lemur who passed away last month from age-related illness at 34 years old had exhibited signs of kidney failure for over six years," states Dr. Aliah. "Our goal is to make Ketu as comfortable as possible for the remainder of his life."
Since discovering Ketu's illness, zookeepers have changed his diet in an effort to improve his weight. He now is offered several types of meat, including chicken, pork, and beef so that he can eat what he chooses.
Ketu is sedated at regular intervals to provide therapy, to examine and re-evaluate his condition, and draw blood for testing. He is provided with other treatment deemed warranted by blood work. "We have seen a very slight improvement in his blood values," explains Dr. Aliah. "We will continue with the path of treatment."
Ketu has fathered three cubs, all of which have been born at the Idaho Falls Zoo. The most recent cub, Tashi, was born last year. As part of the Species Survival Plan, Tashi is moving to the Chattanooga Zoo this fall for the opportunity to contribute to the conservation of his species by eventually becoming a father himself.
Snow leopards are normally very solitary animals. Unless it is breeding season, they avoid one another. Mothers with cubs will actively move throughout their territories to keep the family away from male cats. In captive situations, they are not housed together when cubs are present. Ketu, however, is a bit of an exception. He seeks out the female, Sundari, and is tolerant of Tashi. Therefore, to make him comfortable, the family is able to interact with each other whenever they want.
"For anyone who has ever loved another living thing, the hardest part is saying goodbye. We know for Ketu the time will come sooner than later," says Dr. Aliah. Zoo staff will keep the public updated on Ketu's situation as is warranted via the Idaho Falls Zoo Facebook page.
Media Note: For more information or to schedule an interview with zoo staff, contact Public Information Officer, Kerry Hammon.

The higher the wife's earnings are in comparison with the husband's income, the more problems with erection he has.
Women Earn More and More
In recent years, the number of the wives, who earn more than their husbands, has increased dramatically. The demand for erectile dysfunction drugs demonstrates almost the same proportion. The scientists from Denmark find these facts to be related. When it's all about the earnings, men perceive the superiority of their woman as something painful, and male libido is highly dependent on the mental attitude.
Woman's High Earning Make Men Opt for Viagra
The study showed that in the families where husbands earned less than wives, Viagra and similar drugs stimulating erection were much more likely to be used. In total, the study involved more than 200,000 couples, so the results can be called well-grounded.
What Is Masculinity
The Danish experts believe that the reduction of "masculine firmness" is most likely caused by the loss of self-esteem, anger and despair because of the family's current economic situation. Moreover, the increased demand for Viagra was observed even in those families where the wife earned only slightly more than the husband. Even a small difference in income would contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction in men, who were not internally prepared to let the woman be the family's money-maker and breadwinner.
Erectyle Dysfunction Stats
After the age of 40 years, 39% of men suffer from erectyle dysfunction and after the age of 50 the amount of the men having difficulties with erection increases to 69%! However, not everything is that bad. In most cases, treatment of impotence is a problem one can cope with.

During the pandemic, Brittany Pierre began wandering her neighborhood, taking photos of interesting buildings and other Chicagoans.
She had taught herself photography decades earlier, and decided she wanted to start selling her art. But while she could bring in around $40 for each of her shots, it came only after she first paid $30 for printing and framing them.
Meanwhile, she was falling behind on rent.
"I wasn't making anything," Pierre said.
Now, a year after scraping by and being late on bills, she has profited so much from selling her photography as NFTs that she is now able to help others afford to find themselves similar sales.
"The first time I paid my rent on time, consecutively, my landlord was like, 'Did you get a new job?'" she said.
NFTs, short for nonfungible tokens, are a one-of-a-kind digital item that someone can own, from videos to photography like Pierre's. NFTs have garnered interest in the art-collecting world as a way to ensure ownership of something that could otherwise be easily duplicated.
Pierre, 36, began shooting photos years ago, when she lived in Houston and did not have a car. She spent a lot of time walking, which gave her time to appreciate small details and streetscapes.
"I was always walking, I was always observing," she said. "When you look through a camera, it kind of gives you a different perspective of the mundane."
In Houston, after Hurricane Harvey hit in 2017, she went out with her camera, photographing things like flood-soaked photos and "everybody's discarded lives on the side of the road."
After 15 years there, she moved to Chicago in 2019, having visited her former hometown for the Taste of Chicago and feeling drawn to the creative community and the architecture she loves. "That's kind of where my eye would go," she said. She loves, for example, the Wrigley Building's ornate design. "It's just really beautiful."
But it was during the pandemic that she regularly took her camera outside. She felt trapped in her home, trying to work remotely as a service coordinator at a car wash.
Instead, she found herself going on walks and looking through her lens, shooting what she saw as she walked around her Ravenswood neighborhood.
"I said, 'You know what? I've got to do something to get my mind off of things,'" she said.
One day, self-described doom scrolling, she saw that Elise Swopes, an artist she respected on Twitter, had sold an NFT for far more than Pierre was making with her own prints.
She thought, "OK, I need to find out what that is, and I need to do it, and I need to get on it right now."
At the time, like many, she wasn't entirely sure what an NFT was. She taught herself through YouTube videos, Google and asking questions of others already in the community online.
Now, she helps explain the acronym, and also helps other creatives get involved so they can have more control and profit from their art too.
Delinda Collier, a professor of art history, theory and criticism and interim dean of graduate studies at the School of the Art Institute, said NFTs have increased opportunities for artists to control the outcomes of their work and have contracts and contractual relationships be more transparent.
"My hope is that NFTs can change the balance of power in the art world to benefit artists to the extent that artists can have more control over the sales and ownership of their intellectual property," she said.
Collier said it can be a steep learning curve, but many are helping artists learn to use these powerful tools. They discuss them in class.
Colleagues and people online helped Pierre understand the NFT world, a generosity she seeks to replicate. After she was given an invitation into one of the marketplaces, her first NFT sold in May 2021 for about $250. Her work ranges from streetscapes featuring textured details of buildings to portraits and black-and-white scenes from the "L."
"My mother was very giving with the little that she had," Pierre said. She wants to help uplift Black artists and offset inequality that communities of color face. She has helped dozens of women learn about NFTs, hoping to boost the percentage of women on marketplaces. People have to pay fees to get into marketplaces, so she helps people pay those, as others did for her.
"The most important thing is making sure we're seeing a different route for Black creators," she said.
With a recent photography project, she photographed portraits of people, often Chicago creatives, splitting the profits with them so they could afford to join the marketplace and make money there.
Formerly unable to pay bills or afford a car, she's now buying a Tesla. "I never thought that could happen."
The biggest change, she said, is simply choosing how she spends her time. When she was struggling to make rent, she was only thinking about her next meal. Now, she has more creative bandwidth and feels more freedom. She recently started painting again.
And before, she was focused on getting her work into a gallery, thinking that was the only path to prominence. Now, she can choose her price and where she sells.
"We're not starving artists anymore," she said. "I get to set my own standard now."

Quebec City is undoubtedly one of Canada's most photogenic places. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Old Quebec is the only walled city in North America north of Mexico. The fortifications were built and altered several times between 1608 and 1871. This is the cradle of French civilization in North America, though the famous 1759 battle on the Plains of Abraham here marked a turning point in establishing British rule in Canada. Since then, the city has blossomed with a mix of cultural influences.
Dominating the city, and its iconic symbol, is the striking Chateau Frontenac, said to be the most photographed hotel in the world. From here it's a short walk to many areas within the historic district with restored ancient buildings, picture-perfect streets and narrow lanes, fortifications, and waterfront. The best thing to do is to simply wander around and look for the wealth of photo ops. We took all of these images within a short walk of the Chateau Frontenac.

It's a fresh start for Surrey Urban Farmers Market (SUFM) at Royal Kwantlen Park.
For the rest of summer and into October, the event will be held there every second Saturday, including Aug. 28, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
More than a dozen vendors set up in the parking near the corner of 104th Avenue and Old Yale Road.
"The park is huge," raved Anna Hall, market manager. "We will have all the room we need to grow at this park. It has a large playground, lovely grass to picnic on, a small skate park, a pool, public restrooms, sports fields and now our farmers market in the large parking lot."
The first SUFM market of 2021 was held at Royal Kwantlen Park on July 31 after a false start at Hawthorne Rotary Park. Due to increased congestion in the parking lot there, city hall helped market organizers find another location elsewhere in North Surrey.
"We had a late start this summer," Hall explained. "And last year we were online only (due to the pandemic), so it's a new start for us. Next year the plan is to go every Saturday from June to October. Royal Kwantlen feels like a good spot for us, a really nice spot. Hopefully this is our final home where we can stay."
In addition to Aug. 28, the remaining market dates this year are Sept. 11, Sept. 25 and Oct. 9.

— Tom Zillich (@TomZillich) August 23, 2021
Vendors are sought for the market, with details posted to surreymarket.org. Categories include farmer/grower, food producer, alcohol, artisan/crafter, non-profit, community group and entertainer. "We have really competitive vendor rates and we also support youth entrepreneurs," Hall noted.
For the general public, market updates are posted to facebook.com/surreymarket.
"If we can get steady attendance, it's going to go a long way to help us grow and stay there (at Royal Kwantlen Park)," Hall added.
"We are excited to have this beautiful new home and want to see it grow as we serve our community."
Over the past decade, Surrey Urban Farmers Market was held outside the now-closed North Surrey Recreation Centre and also at Surrey Civic Plaza, at city hall.
Elsewhere in Surrey, Clayton Community Farmer's Market is held at Clayton Heights Secondary School Parking Lot (7003 188 St.) every other Sunday from May 2 to Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The next market date is Sept. 5. For dates and more info, visit claytonfarmersmarket.org.

This week's feature marks the return of Emma Donovan to Melbourne and coming back together with The Putbacks to write, record and release this highly compelling and essential new album.
Under These Streets which hit record racks last week, showcases The Putbacks deep rich funk and Emma's soulful style.
Following on from their success with the award-winning album Crossover (AIR Awards Soul/RnB album of the year) acclaimed Indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan returned to Melbourne with her two daughters to be closer to the dynamic rhythm combo, The Putbacks.
Into the studio they leapt, recording eight fresh tracks drawn from the mighty music vault of The Putbacks. 'Out The Door' was the first single released from these new recordings, with the lyrics born from the band's desire to create and make music together in the shadow of the global pandemic. The mesmerising ballad 'Love Without Limit' quickly followed, highlighting a new sound and format for the band, setting the scene for Under These Streets.
As Emma Donovan highlights: Under These Streets reflects our return to the studio and realigning as a band coming out of some very dark and tormenting times. We literally ran out the door from lockdown and jumped deep into the studio. When The Putbacks and I are in the studio, we jam, we write and there's a lot of trust for me to play with lyrics and melody. This album shows our strength as a musical unit, our relationship and trust with one another, and marks my return to the Melbourne community'.
Under These Streets is out through Heavy Machinery Records / Cooking Vinyl Australia.

Data Intelligence
Harnessing Data Intelligence to Innovate and Build for Tomorrow
As more and more companies harness massive amounts of data to inform their business strategies, data intelligence—or the procurement, management, monetization, security, and protection of data—has become exponentially more important. At the same time, as companies gather more data from products and services, new questions arise, including ownership rights, privacy implications, and protecting innovative uses of this data.
Among the most important developments in data intelligence is the growth in the variety of sources from which data now originates, including customers, medical devices, data lakes, or other repositories. With such vast stores of information, a "big data" solution may be required to realize its benefits, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. Here too, new technologies add complexity to legal issues regarding data analytics and intelligence. Add the need to ensure data privacy and security, and the evolving regulations and oversight of data programs, and the legal implications of data intelligence only mount.
But the promise of data intelligence is too great to ignore. Appropriately harnessed, data intelligence can not only produce stronger products and create better go-to-market strategies, but it can allow companies to innovate and build for tomorrow while solving for today.
We need to look no further than the health care space, where the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated access to digital health care. The integration and interaction of virtual health and consumer-focused advertising resulting from the pandemic has created data that allows the world to redefine the health care journey. From the patient onboarding experience to the clinical experience, medication adherence, and tracking the patient's long-term outcomes, the ability to harness and optimize the patient journey data provides new windows into improving health on a universal scale.
This data intelligence moves the needle in patient care and creates new opportunity for business growth. It can help companies with limited budgets prioritize their business development and consumer advertising efforts, and it can provide physicians necessary insights into the treatments, patient education, interactions, and solutions that can be the difference between life and death. Capturing, harnessing, and optimizing this data is no longer a single factor in the success of digital health care organizations, it is the only factor.
At Foley, we are not only helping our clients solve the question of how to collect data, but we are also assessing whether organizations are properly managing, optimizing, and protecting their data. This is particularly important as agencies like the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Federal Trade Commission, and Medicaid Fraud Control Units have become more sophisticated and are increasingly basing investigations on anomalies in claims history or trends in reimbursement. Here again, Foley helps companies effectively mine their own data so they can anticipate—and, ideally, avoid—government scrutiny.
In this environment, comprehensive, expert-backed guidance to move forward data intelligence programs is critical. Companies need the best help harnessing their data in smart, secure ways so they can both efficiently run and grow their business. At Foley, our approach to data intelligence is multi-faceted. We help our clients understand the often far-reaching implications of who owns data, who has access to it, and who regularly uses it. We delve into the regulatory issues, examining all angles and applications. Most importantly, we understand how businesses use data, the best ways to organize it, innovate with it, mine it, and monetize it.
Security is always a top concern and we advise on how to best secure and protect both data and data strategies. We know there are plenty of data management solutions on the market, and we help our clients parse these solutions, understanding their benefits, challenges, and potential drawbacks.
Areas in which we have recently helped our clients with data intelligence include population health, measuring care provided to populations and using this data to help deliver the right care to the right people; e-commerce, or understanding online consumer behavior; and privacy, which encompasses strategies to help companies protect their data.
In all of our data intelligence work, we take a team-based approach.

[Federal Register Volume 75, Number 217 (Wednesday, November 10, 2010)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 69032-69034] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2010-28385] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers 33 CFR Part 334 Naval Surface Warfare Center, Potomac River, Dahlgren, VA; Danger Zone AGENCY: United States Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is proposing to amend an existing permanent danger zone in the waters of the Upper Machodoc Creek and the Potomac River in the vicinity of Dahlgren in King George County, Virginia. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren conducts research, development, testing and evaluation of national defense systems on the Potomac River Test Range. Many of the tests are hazardous operations presenting a danger to persons or property in the danger zone. The proposed amendment is necessary to protect the public from hazardous operations such as firing large and small caliber guns and projectiles, aerial bombing, use of directed energy and operating manned or unmanned watercraft. The proposed amendment adds a 100-yard buffer to the Middle Danger Zone to prevent public contact with unexploded ordnance along the shoreline of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren within this zone. DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before December 10, 2010. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number COE- 2010-0038, by any of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.

Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, such as CBI or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Olson, Headquarters, Operations and Regulatory Community of Practice, Washington, DC at 202- 761-4922, or Mr. Robert Berg, Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District, Regulatory Branch, at 757-201-7793. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to its authorities in Section 7 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat. 266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps of Engineers proposes to amend its regulations at 33 CFR part 334 for a permanent danger zone in the waters of Upper Machodoc Creek and the Potomac River in the vicinity of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren in King George County, Virginia. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren conducts research, development, testing and evaluation of national defense systems on the Potomac River Test Range. Many of the tests are hazardous operations presenting a danger to persons or property in the danger zone. The proposed modification of the existing permanent danger zone is necessary to protect the public from hazardous operations such as firing large and small caliber guns and projectiles, aerial bombing, use of directed energy, and operating manned or unmanned watercraft. The proposed modification adds a 100-yard buffer to the Middle Danger Zone to prevent public contact with unexploded ordnance along the shoreline of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren within this danger zone. The proposed modification will: (1) Expand the description of continuing hazardous operations in the danger zone to include firing of large or small caliber guns and projectiles, aerial bombing, use of directed energy technology, and manned or unmanned water craft operations; (2) change the latitude and longitude references to correspond to NAD83 without changing the boundaries themselves, except in the case of the point at 38[deg]17'54'', -77[deg]01'02'' to move the reference point from neighboring property to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren property; (3) expand the Middle Danger Zone further into Upper Machodoc Creek where operations involving directed energy, watercraft maneuvers, and transport of explosives are conducted; (4) add a 100-yard buffer to prevent public contact with unexploded ordnance along the shoreline of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren within the Middle Danger Zone; (5) extend normal hours of hazardous operations from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.; and (6) provide for continued use of the naval facility shoreline for commercial fishing and waterfowl hunting blinds under existing Navy and state regulations. The current regulation authorizes Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren to restrict watercraft from entering or leaving Upper Machodoc Creek. The amendment will allow patrol boats to engage watercraft desiring to leave Upper Machodoc Creek a few hundred yards farther west before they get to the existing danger zone boundary at the mouth of the creek. The restriction will be in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Procedural Requirements a. Review Under Executive Order 12866 This proposed rule is issued with respect to a military function of the Defense Department and the provisions of Executive Order 12866 do not apply. b. Review Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act This proposed rule has been reviewed under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354) which requires the preparation of a regulatory flexibility analysis for any regulation that will have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (i.e., small businesses and small governments). Unless information is obtained to the contrary during the public notice comment period, the Corps expects that the economic impact of the amendment of this danger zone would have practically no impact on the public, no anticipated navigational hazard or interference with existing waterway traffic. This proposed rule, if adopted, will have no significant economic impact on small entities. c. Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act Due to the administrative nature of this action and because there is no intended change in the use of the area, the Corps expects that this regulation, if adopted, will not have a significant impact to the quality of the human environment and, therefore, preparation of an environmental impact statement will not be required. An environmental assessment will be prepared after the public notice period is closed and all comments have been received and considered. It will be available from the District office listed at the end of FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above. d. Unfunded Mandates Act This proposed rule does not impose an enforceable duty among the private sector and, therefore, it is not a Federal private sector mandate and it is not subject to the requirements of either Section 202 or Section 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Act. We have also found under Section 203 of the Act, that small governments will not be significantly and uniquely affected by this rulemaking. List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 334 Danger zones, Marine safety, Navigation (water), Restricted areas, Waterways. For the reasons set out in the preamble, the Corps proposes to amend 33 CFR part 334 as follows: PART 334--DANGER ZONE AND RESTRICTED AREA REGULATIONS 1. The authority citation for 33 CFR part 334 continues to read as follows: Authority: 40 Stat. 266 (33 U.S.C. 1) and 40 Stat. 892 (33 U.S.C. 3). 2. Revise paragraph (a) of Sec. 334.230 to read as follows: Sec. 334.230 Potomac River. (a) Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, VA--(1) The areas. Portions of the Upper Machodoc Creek and Potomac River near Dahlgren, VA as described below: (i) Lower zone.

Truck Accidents Caused by Faulty Equipment
Although Long Island is not as notorious for aggressive driving and congested streets as Manhattan, as a resident, you do encounter significant dangers from vehicles on the road. One of the biggest risks you face in Long Island stems from truck accidents and faulty equipment. Our streets are filled with trucks, from construction vehicles to moving vans, fire engines to delivery trucks. However, truck accidents can be caused by more than poor driving. Whether or not a driver acted recklessly, faulty equipment can be a cause or major contributing factor in an accident. If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, a personal injury attorney at Lavine & Slavit, PLLC can investigate your accident and help you get the money you deserve.
Types of Defective Equipment
By nature, trucks are more prone to faulty equipment than cars. There are simply more parts and functions that can go awry, and because they often carry heavy loads and drive longer distances, they typically require more vigilant maintenance. Examples of faulty equipment include:
- Bad brakes
- Faulty tires that lead to blowouts and tread separation
- Defective steering
- Transmission failure
- Defective under-ride guards, the devices that prevent cars from sliding underneath a truck in the event of an accident
Who May Be at Fault
If faulty equipment caused your truck accident, you may assume that the manufacturers are to blame. After all, in a defective products lawsuit, the manufacturers are typically the primary defendant. However, in the case of a truck accident, it is a bit more complicated. There are a number of parties who may be held partially or fully liable for your injuries. Defendants may include:
- The truck driver: Usually, truck drivers are responsible for maintaining their own trucks and reporting any problems to their company. If they failed to maintain their truck properly or to report any problems to their company, they could be held liable for the accident.
- The trucking company: Truck companies are typically responsible for their employees. Therefore, if the driver or company did not follow maintenance regulations, the company will usually be held responsible.
- The manufacturer: In some cases, the driver of the trucking company may not have been aware of the faulty equipment, and it is not something the driver could have corrected through routine maintenance. For example, if the steering in a properly maintained truck suddenly goes out, this is likely the responsibility of the truck manufacturer.
- The equipment manufacturer: Often truck manufacturers and equipment manufacturers may share liability. For instance, if an accident was caused by defective brake pads, both the party that made the brake pads and the party that manufactured the vehicle should have noticed and rectified the problem. In other cases, only the equipment manufacturer may be held responsible. If a driver unwittingly replaced his old tires with new, defective ones, the tire manufacturer could shoulder all or most of the liability for the accident.
- Wholesalers and retailers: If someone knowingly or recklessly sold defective trucks or trucking equipment, that company could also share in the blame.
Recover Your Damages
It can be quite difficult to determine who is at fault in a car accident caused by defective equipment. Fortunately, the truck accident attorneys at Lavine & Slavit, PLLC have more than 50 years' experience investigating personal injury cases and representing injured clients. Call us today to obtain your free case review and take the first steps toward collecting the compensation you deserve.

Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg is done after three innings in his second start of 2011 season. The start of the game was a struggle for him as he gave up one run and threw 31 pitches in the first inning against the Houston Astros. However, he calmed down and regained his control as the Washington offense gained control of the game in the third inning as the Nationals lead the Astros 5-1.
The final line for Strasburg was three innings, one run on three hits, no walks and four strike outs. He threw 57 pitches, 39 for strikes. The start of the game saw Strasburg have some control issues and low velocity but he settled in nicely against the Stros. His fastest pitch Sunday was 96 mph as he used the change up majority of the time as his strikeout pitch. In two starts Strasburg has pitched eight innings, struck out eight, walked none and surrendered only five hits and one earned run.
The Nationals supported their young phenom in the third inning with the help of back-to-back-to-back home runs from Ian Desmond, Rick Ankiel and Ryan Zimmerman. The last time the Nationals pulled off such a feat was in 2009 against the Houston Astros. Danny Espinosa has two doubles on Sunday breaking his 0-for-15 slump and Chris Marrero has two RBIs.
Nationals lead the Stros 5-1 in the bottom of the fourth.
