Wet weather could still lead to decent yields
Growers will be hoping better weather allows spring drilled crops to prosper, says Richard Overthrow.
Two years ago, a cold, wet start to spring delayed drilling until well into April for many growers. Fortunately a benign late spring and summer allowed crops to recover – and fairly respectable yields followed.
This year we could be testing the system in that way once again. March certainly came in like a lion and put paid to any plans for early field work.
Hopefully, early nitrogen and sulphur applications were completed. Even if little spring drilling was achieved, it is not too late – even now for cereals and pulses. Spring oilseeds prefer to be sown in April anyway.
As far as late spring cereal drilling is concerned, the only adjustments necessary would be a slight upward tweak in seed rate and delivery of most if not all of the nitrogen at or very soon after sowing.
This month should see completion of early fungicides and growth regulators going onto winter wheat and barley. In early developing wheats, leaf 4 emergence (T0) may arrive in late March but for most crops it will be an early April timing. Around three weeks later, leaf 3 is likely to be emerging and T1 fungicides will be due.
In this area, T0 sprays for wheat should be based on chlorothalonil with triazole. The chlorothalonil will handle septoria but there are few crops at zero risk of yellow rust – hence the need for a triazole or strobilurin as well.
In most cases, the wheat leaf 3 (T1) fungicide should be SDHI-based. But older chemistry such as triazole plus chlorothalonil can be considered with a resistant variety, later drilling into November and a relaxed attitude to risk.
Where eyespot is targeted, Tracker is still very effective. But it will need support from other actives if septoria pressure is high.
In winter barley, the T1 is usually timed around GS31, which is typically early April. SDHI-based products are the standard now for this crop with higher doses at this timing than at T2 since the contribution to yield from the lower leaves is greater than in wheat.
Growth regulators, in the form of chlormequat or trinexapac products, will also be due on winter oat crops this month, usually between GS31 and 32.
Irrespective of early nitrogen treatments, nitrogen programmes on winter wheat and barley should be completed this month. Depending on their rate of development, later sown wheat crops could wait until early May. Any late doses for protein in wheat won't be needed until next month.
Final nitrogen applications still due on oilseed rape crops should be applied as soon as possible this month. Remaining doses need to go on before soils dry up and affect uptake as crops will be growing rapidly and need nutrients to be available.
Once pods form, then liquid foliar nitrogen can be applied to top up the nitrogen total if you feel the crop will still be short of nitrogen.
Oilseed rape crops will be flowering soon and late season fungicides will be necessary. We haven't suffered any serious sclerotinia outbreaks for some time now but this fungicide timing should still be considered routine, applied early-mid flower.
Second sprays following up at late flowering should only be considered where disease pressure is known to be high. This can be very difficult to predict with sclerotinia but should be based on cropping history and past experience.
Spring cereal crops again involved a wide range of sowing dates this year. But earlier sowings may be ready for their first fungicides at the end of the month (GS30-31). Irrespective of sowing date the crop does not respond to high input at this timing so don't spend too much.
Any remaining nitrogen applications on spring cereals should be made soon, again before a possible drought threatens to compromise uptake.

Here at Practical Cycles, we take a lot of pride in helping all kinds of people to 'get into bikes' - they might not have ever thought they'd abandon their car, thinking that taking a bike or trike to work is the kind of thing that they do in Amsterdam - not over here in the UK. The times are changing even on these shores, though, as evidenced in part by our own success with a broad product range.
We established our business after visiting various cities around the world that have a bicycle- friendly culture, and the experience and knowhow that we have gathered is certainly apparent in our extremely broad range of bikes, trikes and cycle trailers for sale. Trikes are a particularly big thing for us here at Practical Cycles, and sure enough, we offer every popular model from the Babboe Big Trike to the Christiania Light Trike - Sloping Box.
There are certain models that we reckon we should especially highlight, if only to highlight how we really do have a trike to cater for every conceivable requirement. For example, if you need your trike to carry not only two to six children but also shopping, you really can't do better than the Christiania Trike LONG Box. With its features including 3, 7 or 8 speed Shimano Nexus internal hub gear, a rear Shimano coaster brake and front mechanical disk brakes on each wheel, it is also a fine trike for business use - such as a mobile coffee stall or for food vending.
But we also offer some interesting bicycles like the Circe Helios Aurora Tandem and the Kemper Filibus, the latter potentially perfect for the school run or for getting groceries. Oh, and we also have a few cycle trailers for sale, like the Surly Ted Trailer, with its flat bed that can be easily customised to fit a variety of boxes. Then, there are such other accessories that we offer as the Surly Big Dummy Frameset and Xtracycle Freeradical Kit, the latter all that you need to convert pretty much any 26" bike into an Xtracycle.
What about that for an impressive selection of bikes, trikes and cycle trailers for sale? If you're looking to discover the many pleasures of bike riding for more practical purposes, you've definitely come to the right place here at Practical Cycles.

Hurtling Towards the End...and Why That's a Hopeful Thing – Matthew 25:1-13
Matthew 25:1-13
"Then the kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, 'Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.' Then all those bridesmaids got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise replied, 'No! there will not be enough for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.' And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us.' But he replied, 'Truly I tell you, I do not know you.' Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
The only difference between the "wise" and "foolish" bridesmaids in the parable is that the foolish ones didn't realize God wouldn't meet their preconceived understanding of how the bridegroom would act (i.e., God's ways are a mystery to us). The wise ones brought enough oil to last the duration because they knew God would probably be late. So, how do we act while we wait alongside the terrors and atrocities of the world?
Christian eschatology (the study of the "end times") confesses that we are headed towards the ultimate end of God's renewal, recreation, and resurrection of the dead. If human history is an arrow, this renewal of all things is the target. Our thoughts, words, and deeds today ought to line up with where we will end up. So, we live with a hope that is active rather than passive.
As we wait for God, we do so understanding that life is difficult but that the present moment is infused with grace because grace is our final destination. Rather than being caught unprepared as the foolish bridesmaids were, we live lives of hope and peace that reflect the eschatology of a all-powerful, loving, and creative God.

Festo whitepaper looks at the benefits of Cartesian handling systems
Automation equipment supplier, Festo, has published a new whitepaper 'Cartesian handling systems – a technical comparison with conventional robots' to help engineers and designers understand the advantages and disadvantages of various handling systems, so they can increase the productivity and efficiency of their processes. The whitepaper is free to download from www.festo.co.uk/handling-whitepaper and gives a simple overview of Cartesian and kinematic handling systems, outlining the functional differences between various robotic solutions, as well as highlighting key factors and aids for selecting efficient and economic systems. "It is important to understand when to select Cartesian, Kinematic and SCARA assembly and handling solutions," said Nigel Dawson, product manager at Festo. "Cartesian systems may lose out on flexibility but they can be optimised for the application in hand, and importantly from a maintenance perspective, they can be assembled from standard parts making them a lot easier to maintain. Parallel rod, Kinematic solutions can be very fast but there are working envelope and payload restrictions. There is no one size fits all approach, each should be considered on their merits." Energy-efficient 2D and 3D Cartesian systems can be engineered easily and efficiently to linear and rotational applications. They can also incorporate pneumatic, electric, servo-pneumatic or a combination of technologies, achieving optimum movement in terms of efficiency, dynamic response and function, enabling engineers to improve productivity.

Bourbon Barrel Milking Stool
Made entirely from the wood of reclaimed oak bourbon barrels, each stool is uniquely handcrafted and made to order. The simplicity of the design was inspired by an antique country milking stool, while the use of bourbon barrel parts creates a union of patina and strength with a refined rusticity that will not go out of style. The slight angle of the seat is ideal for putting on your boots, or setting down electronics for a quick work table. No two stools are alike, and it is their imperfections that makes each one stand out. Measures 20.5 to 22 inches tall. Can be purchased as part of a set with table, individually or in a 'Bourbon Barrel Bar Stool' version.

Aloha! Today is my first day on the Norwegian Cruise Line, and we are going Island Hoping around Hawaii!
My husband and I are so excited! We have never been to Hawaii before so we cannot wait to see what it has in store for us. We have an amazing balcony stateroom, from which we will be able to view all the breathtaking islands while we cruise.
I hope I can catch a lot of awesome shots and get some great footage for you guys!!
I have never been to Hawaii, and frankly, I never thought I would make it to this wonderful land. It always seemed so far away, and too expensive so this is more of a dream come true for me than most people might realize! When we landed in Hawaii I couldn't believe my eyes. Its true what they say about this state - it's GORGEOUS!
I don't even think Hawaii should be considered a sate, it should honestly just be its own country! Anyone else agree? I didn't feel like I was in the USA at all! The culture, climate, people, food, and nature is completely unique from the rest of the USA. I felt like I was in a different world!
But anyways, so here we are, in Hawaii, and on board the amazing Norwegian Cruise Line. I have cruised with them before a few years back throughout the Caribbean - we went to St. Thomas, St Martin, St Lucia, Barbados and Dominica. This time we're doing one state and cruising around it.
We are boarding in Honolulu and then we begin our trip for the next 7 days to Maui, Kona, Hilo, and Kauai!
Delicious food, check! Best balcony stateroom, check! World class service, check! Fun times, tanning, and vacation mode, check check check! I love everything so far about the Norwegian Cruise Line and its only day 1.. Imagine what days 2-7 will be like!
Our stateroom has a balcony and I totally recommend it. It makes cruising so much more relaxing! When you are in a room with a small window or sometimes with no window at all, it can feel a bit claustrophobic. But with a balcony you can sit back and relax, listen to the waves of the ocean, and drink your coffee in the morning while watching the sunrise. Its amazing and so worth it!
Also, get ready to eat if your thinking of going on a cruise. Thats one of the best parts! Its like you're on an all-inclusive resort, except each day you wake up in a different location! So come and enjoy because it's all you can eat and it's buffet style! lol I'll probably gain a pound a day, but also well worth it!
Alright thats enough from me for now. Keep checking back for more pictures and updates of our time here with the Norwegian Cruise Line in Hawaii!

College students, it's a new year – how many resolutions did you make that are associated to good grades for your Winter or Spring term? Maybe you don't believe in making resolutions, but you set goals – excellent! Resolutions or goals, either way, the only way to find success is if you have an action plan (short-term goals), that enables you to reach the long-term goal.
Remember the Prepping for Finals blog I wrote in December? It's the one where I asked "how many hours do you study each day?" Knowing students rarely study enough, I challenge you to study for two hours before 2pm, and two more hours after 2pm, each day. Yes, four hours a day! A strategy for making this (or any goal) attainable, is to make a schedule. I suggest you download our Time Management worksheet and document what a typical academic week looks like for this term. While documenting your day to day activities, include writing study on the worksheet in four one-hour time blocks. Make sure your study time slots are realistic, i.e. not at 4:00am; set yourself up for success! (It may be more feasible to set the four hours a day goal for five days a week. You can reward yourself by studying just two hours each day on the other two days!)
If developing good study habits seems like a daunting task, attend a time management and/or study skills workshop on your campus. These types of information sessions are often hosted by a variety of offices, such as: tutoring centers, major department programs, academic advising offices, psychological counseling center, student organizations, or even the library! If you're unable to locate an event of this type, see an academic advisor and talk to your professors during their office hours – professors have tips on how to best study the materials in their courses.
It's a new year, new term, and you are the new you – as an academic! Give your best, make yourself proud!

David Brooks on ThriftJune 10, 2008
I attended a conference a few weeks ago, sponsored by the Institute for American Values, where I presented material from my book. That conference, and the document that emerged out of it, was the subject of David Brooks' column this morning. It is a wonderful perspective on the motivation for "Whatever Happened to Thrift" and the seriousness of the problem the U.S. faces.

Heller Co. Inc., a water and sewer excavation contractor that employs approximately 50 workers, was issued citations for alleged willful and serious safety violations following an OSHA inspection that began Feb. 16 at the company's worksite on Lake Comite Drive in Baton Rouge, La. Employees were installing sewer piping when an existing gas line broke, exposing workers to a hazardous condition, according to OSHA.
The inspection was conducted as part of OSHA's national emphasis program aimed at preventing trenching and excavation accidents.
The two alleged willful violations were issued for failing to protect employees from the hazards of a cave-in while installing sewer piping at the base of a 13-foot-deep trench and for failure to remove the spoil pile from the leading edge of the trench, according to the agency.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional disregard of or plain indifference to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
Four alleged serious violations were issued for failing to:
- Support and protect a gas utility line;
- Conduct pre-entry hazardous atmosphere monitoring for employee protection after a gas utility line broke in the trench;
- Brace or support an existing adjacent structure destabilized by the trench; and
- Scale away loose soil that could strike employees in the trench.
OSHA issues a serious citation when death or serious injury could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply or challenge them.

Suggestion explained in one paragraph: If a criminal loses his Wanted Level during an AR as he gets out of the robbery area, he won't be able to rob the Armed Robbery again, however if the criminal dies, the normal routine will apply on him, which is wait for 120 seconds since last robbery to rob again.
Additional details that are necessary for the suggestion: It is explained very well. Though, there will be a limit, that if the player gets out the robbery area, he will have chance to rob only once again for the area. This suggestion is worth the time developing because:Well, this should be implemented to avoid farming of Wanted level, APB and also to increase the fairness, where some players are working hard and fair to get APB, while others are just farming WL for it.
It is explained very well.
How does a criminal lose his wanted level when he leaves the ar? So a person can rob once again if he leaves the AR? That will increase farming of WL to another level.I dont think u explained very well because I am really confused what this suggestion aims to achieve.
Springrelic, CooLDuDe, BlackJoker, TheHacker, Sultan
So a person can rob once again if he leaves the AR? That will increase farming of WL to another level.
This would make ARs even worse:If you died to a cop while robbing, you'd have to wait for 60 seconds in order to rob again. Basically, you come back without being packed with Wanted Level, so there's no farming.If you left an AR zone, you'd have to wait for 120 seconds which was added to prevent Wanted Level farming. So I doubt a criminal keeps leaving the zone since the duration of an AR is 4 mins. Either way, there's no farming. Fair enough.
When I have 800-980 wanted and if I see many cops come ,I will run away from them Or if I see cop behind wall and with low hp so should I lose my Wl for that?I'm not supporting anyway.
Downvoting because a criminal lose his AR progress it would be hard to rob again .
What if a criminal left the Armed Robbery Area to kill a cop yet loses progress? I'm Negative for sure about this suggestion cause this will indeed decrease activity in armed robberies , you are just ruining the fun for both sides, if a criminal robs = more money for the cop and also a progress added to become an APB (That what most of criminals aim for nowadays) What about criminals who rapidly finished the ar by killing 4 cops in a row and then died after wards? I just don't find any useful things in this suggestion, you are complaining about 120 of wanted level each AR, gg.
Why would someone be so stupid to chase a cop miles away while he can complete his Armed Robbery and get better rewards? People will keep posting stupid reasons to farm WL. Never mind, go on.
There is farming, criminals leave when 120 seconds are complete so they can rob again
- You will now not be able to rob 120 seconds after fleeing a robbery, since it did not work properly previously. (Relerx + TheHacker)

No more black blacks. Period.
I realize I sound like a bit of a dictator when I say this, overly controlling, maybe even a little "witchy." But, you have not lived my life these past few months.
Jacob recently purchased a McFarland blank to finish out. It's black. We spent weeks going back and forth over color combination, reel seat, hardware, and don't even get me started on trying to make the right bag for it. For some reason, neither of us could quite settle on exactly what this thing should look like while trying to maintain Jacob's style.
As with most things it all works out in the end. I snuck down to the workshop to get a few shots of the "almost" finished product yesterday.
This piece will be hitting the Rod Shop soon!

Taking Up Golf isn't as Expensive as People Might Think/
It's amazing how many people we speak to that still have the image of golf being an expensive hobby, and 20 years ago you could have argued that this was true. Thankfully nowadays golf has opened its doors to the masses and because of this the price of equipment and memberships has become very competitive, meaning that you don't have to be a company director or lawyer to take up the game.
Right now you can pick up clubs for an excellent price, as an example we supply Ben Sayers M15 (see image) full packages for just £199, and they include a bag and full set of clubs including driver, woods, irons and putter.
Shoes can be purchased as little as £40 and all you need to play on the course are some smart trousers or shorts with a polo shirt and you're away!
When it comes to paying for rounds of golf these can be had with our Green Card Scheme from as little as £8 for 9 holes or £12 for 18 holes, and then as you progress and play more, golf memberships for an adult can be had for as little as £38 per month 5 day (Mon-Fri) or £48 a month for 7 day. That's less than many people's gym membership or phone contract!
Don't forget our friendly staff are always on hand to give you advice about taking up the game. No matter what you're wondering, just ask us!

One that is very very popular already is the monster in the spell/trap zone.
Yes, Infernity can be used in Singapore (if I'm not mistaken?) because Archfiend is considered a game promo card. OH.
It's a popular trick alright, ingenius, in a way, but very disgraceful.
So, most of you, after facing an Infernity player, should ask them to reveal all set face down spells/traps to make sure none of that is done. You will be very lucky if you can catch them, because its a free win for you.
Most of you know this already, but for those who don't please take heed.
Now the 2nd trick, less known, is one that (according to sources and TCG players) Peter Cheng conducted in order to bring Gadgets to the top deck.
Yes, its true the best gadget variant out there is probably Machina Gadget being the most consistent, the most explosive , and the most annoying, but what Cheng ran was a Jinzo-returner variant. In most cases, nobody is downgrading the deck (and I, certainly am not) but Cheng has been caught for cheating once before in previous tournaments.
Because Jinzo returner- gadgets is no where as consistent and its hard to believe it doing well against the likes of Infernity or even X-Sabers, let alone BF and Quickdraw decks.
So, how could it have won if the version which topped is inconsistent and also missing the elements of an Anti-Meta approach which should be amazing this point in the format.
Besides extreme luck and skill may be a factor, you cannot play cards you do not have.
The way I see is the reason Gadgets appeal to a fourth player base apart from my aforementioned. This is the environment of terminal cheaters. Many top players get away with what they can.
This is no secret, and they do so regardless of deck run. Bending rulings is nothing new, especially to knowledgeable players in the game. But, Gadgets are used by the players who have realized you can forgo the time to mathematically perfect a Gadget deck.
The answer lies in Gadgets searching capabilities. Because some players utilise it as an instant Gold Sarcophagus. So lets say I run 6 Gadgets, 1 Card X, 1-2 Gold Sarco, and 2 to 3 Gearframe, about 25% or more of my deck can reliably search any card I want.
See right, example: If I have 1 green gadget and 1 red gadget in hand, I can summon green gadget...and I dunno, search my deck for Future Fusion mmm...and then shuffle my deck, shuffle my hand around for a while then show the red gadget in my hand!
Once again, I AM NOT ACCUSING PETER CHENG of cheating. Because its not just me, its the whole damn internet!
So guys, when you do match up against Machina Gadget, pay very very detailed attention to the duelist. Maybe he cun cun search a Solidarity or Smashing Ground to eat you up. Ask that guy to reveal the card he searched out to you.
Now, this situation doesn't only go for Gadgets. It could apply to Black Whirlwind, Reinforcement of the Army, and such.
Apparently, its quite illegal to ask a judge to stand behind a player to see the cards in his hands/ or what he searched? Why Later people suspect that you and the judge are conspiring as he can tell you what sort of hand he has/ what sort of deck he plays bla bla bla by sign language.
Oh btw, guys, Pot of Greederosity, with its long and dumb name of combining Greed and Generosity together, resulting in an A-grade tongue twister, has had a name change in the TCG! Finally they made a name better!
They call it Pot of Duality.

Local Gem: Area Four
It is no secret: the JUGs love to eat. So when we had a chance to sample some items from Area Four, we jumped on the opportunity, and this Kendall Square hotspot quickly became one of our new fav pizza joints in town.
Wait, Where?
Area Four
500 Technology Square
Cambridge, MA 02139
What We Ordered
JUGs will be JUGs, so we started off with a few beers. They have a great selection of local brews, including some of our favorites like Jack's Abbey and Shed. For appetizers, we got the garlic knots and brussels sprouts salad - both of which are very popular items at Area Four. The garlic knots were incredible, but a word to the wise, don't order them on a date, they are not fooling around with the garlic back there. The brussels sprouts salad was also a win, and we particularly liked it since this would be a fussy dish to recreate at home - it was nice to appreciate the work that went into it!
Our main course was pizza, lots and lots of pizza! We got the classic margherita, the not-pepperoni, and the seasonal - which was covered in sweet potato, apples, goat cheese, and amazingness. Area Four uses top-notch ingredients, including many locally sourced and organic produce, and 10-year aged sour dough starter for their famous crust!
Our Favorites
Cameron - gahhhhlic knots (bad breath = badass)
Meredith - seasonal pizza (this basic betch loves her fall foods!)
Suzanne - margherita za (the classy and traditional JUG)
Why We'll Go Back
a) It is super easy to get to - just a short walk from the Kendall Sq. T stop. b) The food was phenom and the prices were reasonable. and c) great atmosphere, especially cozy for the winter with the warm brick oven just a stone's throw away from our table!

Jes Extender is a device used for penis enlargement. It was first introduced in 1994 when it was manufactured as a remedy for Peyronie's disease.
This device has since then been tried by many users who testify to the beautiful work of Jes Extender. It is a class 1 medical device endorsed by the European CE.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration also approve of it and classified it as a safety device for use.
- The manufacturer of Jes Extender, DanaMedic claims that the device increases the size of a penis by 28%. Thousands of guys using Jes Extender have reported that they are pleased with the result.
- The invention stretches the tissue of the penis to a certain length. It can extend the muscle for about 1500 grams. 4,000 grams is the recommended limit.
- Users can see visible result in about just seven days.
- Jes Extender does not only increase the girth of the penis but also straightens curved one which results from Peyronies disease.
- One good thing about the device is that it has been clinically tested several times and some of the results can be found on their website.
How does it work?
The Jes Extender device provides a safe non-surgical way to enlarge the penis. It is also painless, safe and effective method. It works by the traction process. Traction is the stretching and extending of a surface.
The Jes Extender apply a little stretch to the walls of the flaccid penis. The stretched tissue grows back with the current length
Jes Extender Parts
- A glans support piece which holds the head of the penis in place when in use.
- A ring for the penis base
- Two full bars which are joined with the ring. You can adjust the length of the bars depending on the tension you want.
- Some packages include a Velcro strap, but you will find the silicon tube and the comfort strap in any box you buy.
- Elongation bars
How To Use
- Put your soft penis into the base ring through the elongation bars.
- Make sure the head lies on the support front piece. Secure the head using a strap.
- Give the elongation bars a twist until you reach your desired length. Ensure that you do not fix the bars too tight or too loose. As long as you feel the penis stretched and you are also comfortable, then you can leave it like that.
Most users do not experience pain during use, but the degree of comfort you get depends on you.
The Jes Extender can be easily setup, and it's easy to use.
Comfort varies per user, but generally, there is no long-term comfort issue with the Jes Extender. Depending on the package, you will get access to various accessories, like comfort strap, velcro support, protection pad, and gauze.
- You can choose and adjust the tension, depending on your goal and comfort level.
- The Jes Extender is discreetly packaged upon delivery.
- If you don't get the expected benefits within 1,000 hours of usage, DanaMedic offers a 200% refund within a year of using the product.
- The extender can accommodate penises of different sizes and will work regardless if you're circumcised or not.
- Unlike surgeries and medications, the Jes Extender has no side effects, provided that the device is used correctly.
- Jes Extender is made from high-quality materials. The cheaper packages have stainless steel rods while, the more expensive ones boast of gold-plated or platinum-plated materials. Other parts of the extender are made from medical-grade, hypoallergenic materials.
- While the Jes Extender is generally comfortable, it is not uncommon for first-time users to experience discomfort. It is recommended to use the protection pad and other comfort accessories included in the package.
- The Jes Extender is not available in local stores and can only be purchased online.
- You can't urinate, masturbate or have sex while the Jes Extender is on. If you're the type of guy who always goes to the toilet, it is going to be unhandy to remove the device frequently.
- Results vary per person. Depending on many factors like age, physical condition, genetics, traction used and the frequency of use, the degree of size increase is not uniform.
- Results take time to be visible. While the manufacturer claims results are seen in the first seven days, it will take months before you achieve your desired size. After all, growth will not happen overnight.
- While Jes Extender has been shown to be effective, its design is already dated. One common complaint with the plan is that the single strap is a constant source of slippage and readjustment.
- The device is expensive. There are other penile extenders out there that are cheaper and more versatile.
Where to buy
You can buy the Jes Extender at its official website jes-extender.com. Depending on your needs and budget, there are six options you can choose from Light, Original, Titanium, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
The shipping fee is €15. Delivery takes 1-3 days in EU, and 2-5 days in the US, Canada, and the Pacific region.
Common Features
All packages have these standard features:
- 1 Base ring, 1 Silicone Tube, 1 Comfort Strap, 1 Protection Pad, and 1 Instructional DVD.
- 2 Spring loaded bars: These are attached to the biologically contoured base ring. These parts can be adjusted from 0 to 1500 grams traction, with 800-1200-1500 indication markers. Packages have different types of coatings.
- 1 Dual function front piece: This support is compatible with the soft comfort strap, velcro strap, or the silicone tube for a traditional noose style.
- 2 further elongation bars 1"/2.5cm: Like the spring-loaded bars, the material of construction also depends on the package.
Other Features
Here are the other features of the packages:
- 2"/5cm elongation bars
- Set of tightening keys
- 0.5"/1.25cm elongation bars
- Cohesive gauze
- Soft attach
- Velcro strap
As one of the original penis enlargers on the market, there's a reason why Jes Extender stayed relevant even with the arrival of supplements and other penile enhancement products. The Jes Extender can lead to size gains with zero side effects, as long as the product is used correctly. The only issue is that there is initial discomfort for first-time users.
If you're the type of person that will quit from frustration after using the extender for a week, then this device is not for you.
Results vary between users, but generally, three months is what you'll need to notice some size increase. Extend your usage to six months to attain the full potential of this device.
We have heard of users extending the usage beyond six months; surprisingly, their penises still register some growth.
For patients who underwent a penile surgery, they also can benefit from the Jes Extender. Penis retraction is common after such procedure so an extender can help regain original penis size, even gain some more. It's strongly recommended though to recover first before attempting to use the Jes Extender.
As we mentioned in the "How to Use" section, it is important to start slow. Once you become comfortable with the device, you can now use it for 12 hours, for at least six months. Consistency is the key, so you must use the tool regularly.

Menu Planning, Oh Boy!/
I'm a planner--I blame my mother for this in the absolute best way possible. I remember the day she had a black book then brown book and now she's full on internet based. Everything was written in the calendar and if it wasn't written down, the event just simply did not exist.
Her ability to keep track of my sister's life, my life, my dad's life, and her own just seemed like second nature with that book. To me, you were a grown up if you had a planner and man, did I want to seem grown up! Mom's influence carried over into college where I went to school in this wonderful bubble that required you to have a planner--legitimately--and I lived by that thing. Every moment of my life was planned back then because there was so much to do. Homework time, work out times, grocery runs, meal times and more. There was not a moment to be wasted!
Between a busy schedule and a budget, I had to get smart about planning out meals. When was the best day to make something? When was the best day for leftovers? How can I not eat out multiple times a week? To top it off, I love cooking and baking so menu planning keeps me in check on the off (read: probable) chance that I will over cook and over purchase and have end up with food going bad.
I know folks who just exclaim, "I couldn't possible do that!" Well, you could--it's really a choice that takes practice and honestly, a little self discipline. Some people love it and some people don't. It works for me and my family mostly because it helps our ship run better. I try not to take forever on it, but some weeks are easier than others. Planning can be a breeze if you just set a timer and hit hard an fast, 10 minutes. Get in, get out and no one gets hurt.
Say you're not in the camp of loving menu planning, totally understand! What if I gave you a couple of tips to help make it easier--would you try it? Great! Let's give it a go:
1. Check your calendar--What's your busiest day, longest day? Take note and plan on leftovers that night. Boom. One night down. What's your shortest and easiest day? That's your meal making night.
For example, Sunday's and Monday's are easy for me to cook a meal--they're pretty low stress and I'm usually the most energized from a weekend of rest. Tuesday's and Wednesday's are long for my husband so we do leftovers from Monday and Tuesday.
2. Plot out the week--When I write down the days I'm doing leftovers (even if I don't know what they are yet), it makes it easier to see how many meals I'm making and what exactly I need to buy. Here's what a typical week looks like:
Sunday - New Meal
Monday - New Meal
Tuesday - Sunday Leftovers
Wednesday - Monday Leftovers
Thursday - New Meal
Friday - Thursday Leftovers
Saturday - New Meal (Smaller) --> like a pizza that I eat for lunch on Sunday or a small grilled meal or it's our eat out night.
3. Check your pantry and look at the ads--Plan your menu around what you got and what's on sale. I usually make three meals a week and plan a generic lunch I can take when I'm not hitting the leftovers. I have a running list of meals we like and I usually pull from there each week.
If I can use what I have and purchase just a few ingredients, I call that a win.
4. Insert the meals you want to make! Balance it out for you and your budget. I can't live on rice and pasta all week or eat only one meal all week like my husband suggests ("It'd save money!"). No one can live on one dinner for seven days and leftovers four nights in a row gets old.
I'm that weirdo that dreams about menus and salivates over the meals I can't wait to make. Like I said earlier, not every week is like that though. Sometimes it's a struggle to find something! That's where you're list of favorite meals comes in handy. Stick it on the fridge and use it for inspiration when needed!
I think what also helps, really helps actually, is having a menu planner on the fridge. Everyone knows what's for dinner for the week and you can clearly plan it all out ahead of time. My personal favorite is this Knock Knock pad.
It's $7 on Amazon right now, but there's a ton more you can search for online that have different layouts. In any case, I've run through several of these puppies in the last few years--it's a 60 page pad of paper meaning you can mess up a couple times a year and still have plenty of sheets left over!
Now that I'm all planned out, it's time to start shopping! Although I think Honey would prefer we just stay in an nap. Happy menu planning all!
What's your favorite meal to make during the week?

Curators' Statement
"The objects I chose were designed to hold something, but I didn't fill them up. They remained empty. They were little symbolic shrines to thirst." ― Margaret Atwood
Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of Space is a meditation on the imaginative ripeness of empty spaces. Emptiness as we experience it often overwhelms us--isolation births feelings of profound pain, waves of sorrow cascade over us in the wake of personal loss, and sometimes the simple quiet of night summons a dreadful hollowness we long to banish or wall out. The wrongness of emptiness is reflected in the language we use to describe it--to lack is to be in deficit, failure makes us "lesser than," the poor are those who have not. But of course the empty cup was fashioned to be filled. The chest heaves with grief, but what of the mysterious blessed-ness of those that mourn? The growth, the death, the new life that can only come to fruition in the dark and lonely places of the earth--empathy grows here; wisdom does too. And as we learn to tend, protect and value empty spaces, both within ourselves and in the physical world we inhabit, these desolate and often painful emptinesses create potential for charged encounters that often lead to necessary change.

Many people drink but few become alcoholics.
There are several risk factors, some of which may be interrelated. The more factors you have, the greater your risk.
Family history–A large component of addiction is physiological, and much of your physiology is determined or strongly influenced by your genes. The easiest way to know if you have a genetic disposition toward addiction is to look at your family. If one or more of your close relatives is alcohol dependent, you are at a higher risk.
Beyond the genetic component, having a parent or close relative who drinks makes drinking to excess seem normal or even expected. It becomes the default. When that happens, the thought of not drinking seems abnormal.
When a parent or close relative drinks, it also increases the availability of alcohol. That can influence another risk factor–starting young.
Starting young–The younger you start drinking, the more likely you are to become dependent. It's less common for children or teens to become alcohol dependent, but early drinking may sow the seeds of future dependence. In addition to starting the process of physical dependence, early drinking may alter brain development, making self control more difficult later in life.
Depression or anxiety–People who suffer from depression and anxiety often drink more. This is often referred to as "self-medicating." The link may be due to self-medication or there may be other motivations involved. Whatever the case, depression or anxiety make you more vulnerable to addiction.
Social pressure–If your friends drink or your partner drinks, you are more likely to drink. It's the dreaded peer pressure we've all been warned of since elementary school. It's difficult to be the only one your group not drinking, and if you have other risk factors, the pressure is even more intense.
Habit–Even if you don't have any of the other risk factors, you can form a drinking habit that may lead to dependency. If drinking is part of your daily routine, especially if there is a reliable cue involved–for example, you come home from work, turn on the TV and have a drink–then addiction might take root.
It's especially dangerous if that routine involves meeting friends at a bar, which adds the pressure of social expectation. Once the habit is set, then physical dependence can creep in.

Kerry to be in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
Days after leaving, Kerry to return to Jerusalem
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro rejects the idea that peace talks with the Palestinians is "linked" to Iran.
"There is no connection between these two issues," Dan Shapiro told Army Radio. "These two issues are connected to Israel's security, our security, and the security of the entire Middle East, for a quieter and more stable region. But we do not see in this any connection in which we are required to give in one and receive in the other."
Dan Shapiro says peace process has no bearing on efforts to deny Iran the bomb
Oh, really?
Memo to Shapiro from desk of Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State:
"For Israel to get the kind of strong support it is looking for vis-à-vis Iran, it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts. They go hand in hand." --before the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee in April of 2009.
See her last sentence Mr. Shapiro? "They go hand in hand."
The Palestinians think the two go hand-in-hand, too.
A senior Palestinian official said the United States was asking Palestinians to make security concessions in peace talks with Israel in order to silence the Jewish state's criticism of world power diplomacy over Iran's nuclear program.
The U.S. is pressuring Israel to give up her strategic rift valley, but, so far, the Israelis are holding firm.

In the meantime, the U.S. has been experiencing some earthquakes around Yellowstone and what is known as the North American Craton.

And now this from KSL.com out of Utah:
Geologists at Brigham Young University have discovered what may be the world's largest "supervolcano" that erupted in Utah's own backyard. While there are a variety of volcanoes that blast away in different ways, super volcanic eruptions are the biggest that collapse into large calderas. Yellowstone Park is the remains of one of those calderas, and it's still very much alive and active. But, geologists think they may have found an equally as big, if not bigger super volcano, one that shook up western Utah and eastern Nevada 30 million years ago. The eruption is hardly visible to the naked eye now, but underneath and in surrounding formations, the evidence was waiting to be uncovered. "As far as we know, the Wah Wah Springs eruption is the largest known explosive volcanic eruption," said BYU professor of geology Eric Christiansen. The eruption and collapse of the super volcano released almost 6,000 square kilometers of magma.

In addition, as President Obama continues to acquiesce to Iran's nuclear program, we are hearing more and more about what could be the impacts of Fukushima's crippled nuclear reactor on the U.S. West Coast. I've been linking often to many of these concerns in the NEWS LINKS section.
Speaking of the West Coast, "an unusual jet stream kink" is what is bringing the extremely cold temps to the U.S.
Temperatures in Northern Montana were as much as 50 degrees below normal, and in portions of Oregon, the cold blast brought the COLDEST TEMPERATURES SINCE 1972. One station even set an ALL-TIME COLD RECORD: Lakeview, Oregon hit -27° on December 8, breaking the old all-time cold record of -24° set on Jan. 15, 1888. Temperature records there began in 1884.

To celebrate Library Lovers' Day, I thought it would be nice to send a notecard to a fellow library lover!
Library Lovers' Day is celebrated on February 14th of each year, so, go and show your Libray some love this Valentine's Day!
For this swap, you will be assigned one (1) partner whom you will send one (1) notecard to with a little message either telling your partner why you love your local library (or libraries in general), what you prefer to borrow from the library, or anything really that pertains to a library. (The notecard can be bookish, literary or library-themed. However, the style of the notecard is completely up to you!)
The card can be storebought or handmade (but, please make sure you're not just slapping some stickers on the card if it is handmade, put some care into making it). Free/Ad/Zazzle Cards (anything along those lines, message me if you are unsure) are allowed, however just make sure that your assigned partner doesn't mind receiving those types of cards.
I am making this a Type 3 Swap merely because of some handmade cards being larger/bulkier than normal.

We've mentioned before in a blog post how our data science team downloads the ClinicalTrials.gov database on a weekly basis to keep our clients updated on what's new in clinical development. Another advantage to collecting these numbers each week, is to analyze clinical trial registration trends over time.
The end of June marked our 26th week this year downloading this dataset, and analyzing the updates. The halfway point of the year seemed like the perfect time to take a step back and ask "How are clinical trial registrations trending in 2016, compare to previous years?".
When you look at the numbers, it's clear that there is a downward trend in clinical trial registration happening. After digging into some information about the clinical trial submission process however, I want to show you why this isn't only a premature conclusion, but potentially a wrong one.
The Data
First, look at the data. Here's new clinical trial registrations by month, spliced by each year for the past 4 years:
While January and February were on par with the registration volume of previous years, March-June figures in 2016 are clearly not.
Why It's Misleading
Looks can be deceiving, and bar graphs are no exception. Because of the ClinicalTrials.gov registration process, trials are dated by when they are submitted to the database, and not when they are approved. In other words, the numbers above reflect only trials that have been approved by the NIH (the team running ClinicalTrials.gov), sorted by the month they were submitted. What is not reflected in the numbers are these two important groups:
- Trials that have been submitted but not yet approved
- Trials that have been denied
When looking at the above chart to find a trend in clinical trial registrations rates, we need to be clear that we are looking at the approval rate of trials, not the submission rate.
Past Examples
If we dive deeper into the submission process, we'll find that some trials take a few months to be approved. Look at our charts from some other weekly updates.
April 30th
May 8th
May 22nd
June 2nd
We see that a number of January 2016 and February 2016 trials are still being added throughout May and into June. This is because those trials have a submission date in January or February, but it took 3-4 months for them to be approved. In the same vein, there should be a number of May and June trials that have been submitted, but won't show up in the ClinicalTrials.gov database until August or September.
This means it's inaccurate to look at the most recent 4 months to assess a trend in the rate of clinical trial registrations.
The Takeaways
If we look beyond this 4-month window to January and February 2016, we see that there are actually a greater number of new clinical trials registered than January and February of previous years. If the rest of 2016 follows this trend, 2016 will see more new clinical trials (criteria being they're registered on ClinicalTrials.gov) than previous years, but it's too early to say for sure.
There are 3 key takeaways here:
- Using January and February as indicators, there may be more new clinical trials registered this year than the previous 3 years.
- Our team's initial assumption that the submission process takes 1 month is wrong. In many cases it actually takes 3-4 months for a submitted trial to be approved.
It's important to look into the qualitative aspects of data when assessing clinical trial trends. In this case, information about NIH's approval process prevented us from drawing the wrong conclusion about the current trend in clinical trial registration rates.

We aim to make it easy for you to keep tabs on the 400 new trials that are approved by the NIH each week.

Phoenix Union presents Experience High School Expo
Phoenix Union High School District will hold its third annual Experience Phoenix Union: High School Expo, a student recruiting and school marketing fair, Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Phoenix College.
The Expo date was moved up from January to coincide with the first official day of enrollment for Phoenix Union schools. Online enrollment stations will be available for those students and parents who want to apply to a Phoenix Union school that day. The event will also feature the debut of the Phoenix Coding Academy, a new small specialty school opening for freshmen next August.
The Expo will showcase the many opportunities available to thousands of future high school students. Every school will have its own interactive booth, as well as specialty programs such as Career and Technical Education, Magnets, the arts, athletics, and JROTC.
There will be non-stop student entertainment on stage, mascots, giveaways, prize drawings, and food. Parents and students can learn about transitioning to high school at two Experience Phoenix Union break-out sessions with student panelists at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The event is targeted at 6-8th graders and their parents deciding on high school, or those individuals who are looking for another high school. The first 1,000 6-8th graders will receive a free drawstring backpack.
The Expo kicks off recruiting season, when Phoenix Union schools enroll 8th grade students for next fall. While most incoming ninth-graders come from the 13 partner elementary districts that operate within the 220-square mile high school district, many students take advantage of open enrollment. Over 4,000 current students attending Phoenix Union schools came from charter schools, private schools and non-partner district schools.
Video: Phoenix Union Expo 2015
Phoenix Union has 16 high schools and this year's enrollment of 27,429 students is the highest in 38 years.
"It is open enrollment season, and with the popularity of many of our schools, we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to explore their options and register early, before waiting lists are created," Interim Superintendent Dr. Chad Gestson said. "This is a fun fair to see and meet our school personnel, friendly and talented students, and discover all that Phoenix Union has to offer."
To complete the enrollment application, parents are asked to provide student birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of Arizona residency (driver's license, utility or phone bill, etc.); however students and parents can begin the enrollment process without these documents.
The Phoenix Union Experience High School Expo is sponsored by Phoenix College and the Phoenix Union Foundation for Education.
For more information, please contact Craig Pletenik with Phoenix Union High School District at (602) 764-1530.

I've been struggling to find a way to solve this question for a while now.
I can prove that there is at least one real root using IVT but have no idea how to prove that there can exist more.
Currently my idea is to prove that there cannot be $5$ real roots somehow and then I can say that as complex numbers come with conjugates, there cannot only be one complex root and so there can be at most $3$ real roots.
I had another idea to assume that there are at most $2$ real roots. Then use the fact that complex conjugates come in pairs to say there must be at most 3 roots as we have already shown there are at least $2$. But then there would be nothing to account for if there are $5$ real roots.
Am I just overthinking this and there's an easier way to go about it?

Of Clocks and Clouds' "Another Life" is that ever addictive mix of a sad song that says so much all while sounding brightly optimistic.
Upbeat riffs and a running beat gives the track a deceptively sweet feel that pulls you in before longing lyrics laden with melancholy memories take over and a trippy bridge that would make any psych/rock record of the '70s and '80s proud takes you away with spiraling synths.
A lot that boils down to the fact that "Another Life" is a don't miss track you need to give yourself time to really sink into.
Listen to the single, head to the sites below, check out an interview with the duo, and look for Better Off to be released this Summer.

No-show by 160 pilots sends Air India into a tailspin
Several international flights were cancelled after 160 Air India pilots did not turn up for work on Monday night, sending the beleaguered national carrier into a tizzy.india Updated: May 08, 2012 23:41 IST
Several international flights were cancelled after 160 Air India pilots did not turn up for work on Monday night, sending the beleaguered national carrier into a tizzy.
The airlines' domestic operations, however, remained unaffected. At New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, six international flights were cancelled late on Monday.
Operations stabilised by Tuesday morning as Air India made arrangements to operate all international flights, including those cancelled through Monday night. However, most flights were delayed.
Many passengers whose international flights were scheduled for Tuesday night arrived at the airport in the afternoon itself to find out the status of their flights.
Flights from Mumbai were disrupted too with four long-haul international flights — one each to Hong Kong, Newark, New York and Jeddah — cancelled on Tuesday. An arriving flight from Newark was also cancelled. The last-minute cancellations triggered panic among passengers.
"There is nobody from the airline offering any assistance," said Masood Khan, a Mumbai-based businessman, whose family was among the 95 passengers booked to travel to Jeddah.
Airport officials said passengers bound to Newark and Hong Kong were accommodated in hotels. Till evening, there was no update on the status of the flights.
In Kerala, the Thiruvana-nthapuram-Muscat, the Thiruvananthapuram-Abu Dhabi-Dubai, Kozhikode-Sharjah-Muscat, Kozhikode-Mangalore-Kuwait and the Kozhikode-Riyadh flights were cancelled.

There's such a part of me that still wants to be a cool kid. I've always been too excited and tried a little too hard. It makes people uncomfortable. I'm a tad awkward. I am almost 40 and this still is an issue for me.
Is kindness a weakness?
Snark gets old. It's easy. It's much more difficult to be genuine and vulnerable. It takes people by surprise. You catch them off guard. Sometimes people are so snarky it's impossible for them to interact. When I feel like I have to try way too hard to impress them with my snark or cleverness I get sad. AND TIRED. It's not enjoyable and dammit I just don't need that pressure. I'm not in high school. Snark is accessible. Kindness - with myself and others - is much harder to come by, let alone express. I just want to have a genuine conversation and sometimes it seems impossible these days. Snark is defensive. I get it. I still do it, don't get me wrong. But I'm trying to be the person I want my children to be proud of and model.
If anything , I need to feel less. Let my heart not feel so much because it bruises too easily. It's so soft and too vulnerable and precious. My formerly cold black dead heart was replaced by something softer after having babies. You certainly don't have to have babies, but it is a sure way to inflict change. I can't watch or read the same things as I used to without a pain in my heart. It's not a new reaction to becoming a mom, but it's MY new reaction and I'm surprised by it. There are times I wish I truly could feel less, but it would be an act. Like I used to do by protecting my heart and just putting up the wall of anger. It's not who I am today.
I'm tired of the fighting for or against every single thing. I just want to enjoy this beautiful life and not have to fight so hard. I have let it go. That's not weakness. To me, it's empowering. I stopped fighting a few years ago and while to some it seems I've given up, to me it feels like I'm free. Part of working a 12 step program is letting go of shit. And I can honestly say after almost 12 years sober, I'm at a place where I'm able to let go and stop being so angry. I can feel other emotions besides anger and fear. That's something to celebrate not to mourn. There's an acronym for SOBER and it's "son of a bitch everything's real".
Kindness is my form of currency these days. Some people are not ready or cannot accept that in order for your voice to be heard and respected you have to choose your battles. Wisely. If you fight against every little thing, it makes what is really important hard to find. I will fight, but when I do, it will be important. Not just fighting for the sake of fighting. This all feels really good. It's incredibly freeing to let all that go.
Today, I choose to be kind. To not be fearful and to not be angry. TO BE KIND. I can make a choice about these things and do my best to follow through. My kids are watching. I've got way too much pressure now to be good and not try so hard to be a snarky cool kid. I don't want my kids to think they have to try so hard to be cool. They just need to be whoever they are and that's the cool way to be. My snarky friends will understand that I love them and put up with my emotional self, even if they laugh or shake their heads at me. They will understand I am the spazzy-awkward-emotional-feels-too-much-and-just-has-to-get-it-out girl.
When I jump on people today and tell them I love their guts, I mean it. Those bruises you get from me, they're just love, baby. JUST LOVE. And the bite marks on the baby thighs? You got it. That's just love, baby. Sometimes it hurts. But in a good way. Don't be afraid of it. COME HERE. See? Just a little awkward.
