The important thing is that a state-supported college giving baccalaureate degrees is established in the Martinsville area, not how long it takes to earn those degrees, according to City Manager Dan Collins.
A model for the New College of Virginia developed by Dr. Ronald Carrier, former president and chancellor of James Madison University, would allow students to earn degrees in 28 months, not four years like most colleges.
But the college should at least be similar to a four-year college, such as by educating students who mostly live on campus, Collins said.
"We don't want something where you sit in a room and watch" courses on television or over the Internet, he said, alluding to long-distance learning proposals. Rather, "we want live instructors in a classroom setting with residential students."
A residential college would boost the local economy by "fostering the development of ancillary services that students expect," such as housing and restaurants, he added.
Martinsville City Council on Tuesday committed $1 million over a decade to help set up a state-supported college locally in the next two years.
A resolution to that effect specifically mentions a four-year college.
But the city is not hung up on that language. It supports "the equivalent of a four-year, degree-conferring college ... whatever is deemed appropriate by the legislature," Collins said.
Four years essentially was written into the resolution to separate Carrier's concept from a community college, he said ? something Martinsville and Henry County already have.
The city's financial backing likely will be a mix of cash and in-kind services, such as the installation of streets and water/sewer systems, officials said.
The Henry County Board of Supervisors has not discussed making a similar contribution, said Chairman Paula Burnette. She will have to gauge other supervisors' opinions on whether they should consider it, she said.
Martinsville made "a generous offer," especially since the city's resolution says the donation is for a college to be located in either the county or city, said Burnette, who represents the county's Iriswood District. "I don't think that should go unnoticed."
A decision for the county to help the state finance setting up a local college would be up to the board of supervisors, not county executives, said Deputy County Administrator Tim Hall.
Supervisors already have voiced support for a college, Burnette said.
"The important factor here," she said, "is that the entire community stay in tune with what's happening" and do whatever is necessary to show support for a college, even if it only involves making phone calls to lawmakers.
"Every additional commitment ... would make our case stronger," said Harry Cerino, director of The Harvest Foundation. It has issued a $50 million challenge grant to the state to open a college here by the end of this year.
"I'm very grateful ... the community's leadership recognizes the importance of a higher educational institution," Carrier said.
Collins called the city's commitment "a statement that we think it's worth spending scarce (financial) resources on."
"Hopefully, that will draw some attention" and the college will gain support among state lawmakers, he said.
That remains to be seen.
"I wish we had an idea that kind of thing (money) is a magic bullet" that will convince lawmakers, Burnette said.
"Certainly it's a powerful statement," said Carrier.
"I would hope the General Assembly recognizes leadership where it occurs in the state," Cerino said.
Cerino said he believes city officials may have "a new way of thinking" in regards to improving the local economy.
"City fathers are thinking they want to invest in people," educating them to do the "best jobs" with high salaries, not low-paying industrial jobs, he said.
"Martinsville is really starting to differentiate itself as a rural community in the South that is investing in education," said Cerino.
Collins and other city officials, including Mayor Joe Cobbe, plan to present the $1 million resolution to Gov. Mark Warner on Friday. Burnette, who left Wednesday night to go to Richmond on county business, said she plans to join them.

Educate Patients By Texting Their Smartphone
Texting isn't new, but using it for a patient education is!
ChiroHealthTips give your practice visibility between visits, greater patient understanding and deeper engagement.
New patients receive daily messages for a week. Then every other day. Then every third day. Until once a week. For a year.
These are carefully targeted messages that educate, inspire, encourage and stimulate referrals.
How ChiroHealthTips Works
1. Begin your $20 monthly subscription to reserve your unique keyword and your first 20 patient enrollments.
2. As new patients begin care, have them enroll themselves on their phone, texting your unique keyword to 474747. Suggested scripting
That's all there is to it. We do all the rest.
Precisely Timed Messages
Unlike emails, text messages have a 98% open rate—and are typically read within 5 seconds of being received.
Plus, many patients have unlimited texting plans and often prefer texting to other types of communication.
Each message is written by William Esteb. Review the year-long curriculum here.
ChiroHealthTips keeps you and your practice front and center.
And since patients can opt out whenever they wish (or you can opt them out), we've made sure each message is relevant and practical.
You'll Know ChiroHealthTips is Working
Practices enrolled in this unique drip campaign report three measurable benefits:
1. Fewer missed visits – While ChiroHealthTips is not an appointment reminder service, getting texts from your practice improves top-of-mind awareness, producing more kept appointments.
2. Better patient questions – These short messages get patients thinking. The comments that patients make during their visits are proof that key chiropractic principles are getting through.
3. Improved patient retention – As patients learn the whole body health implications of chiropractic, they tend to remain under care longer.

ChiroHealthTips is the contemporary way to communicate chiropractic, share natural health concepts and deepen patient engagement.

This wall relief was commissioned for a private residence in Florida. The palette and composition is meant to emulate the seacoast of the south eastern United States. I am making the final edits to the work while the patron takes the video.
Making the final edits to a commissioned wall relief.
My visual interpretation of Henry David Thoreau: How paintings tell a story.
How Paintings tell a Story
My goal as an artist is to work with designers and architects on site specific projects; working with designers and architects presents an opportunity to interact with professionals with whom I can share my ideas and who can in turn share their visions for how they perceive the final building will engage the user. Currently, I am working on the Care Dimensions commission for their new facility in Waltham, MA.
By creating site specific work, I can pre-determine the size, shape, palette and subject of the work. As with all of my commissions, this one attempts to connect the mission of the patron, in this case a hospice center, with the local scenery and history, Waltham, MA., and given this location, the writings of Concord native author Henry David Thoreau whose book Walden recounts his experience of living for two years in Walden Woods near the Waltham/Concord town line.
The three paintings in this commission attempt to celebrate the beauty of Walden Woods as they simultaneously act as metaphors for the trajectory of life.
The painting on the left is meant to suggest sunrise seeping through the trees, breathing life into the foreground. The light source coming from behind and creating a shadow in the foreground mimics stage lighting, a common practice in Baroque art and one that gives the painting a theatrical quality. This sets the stage for a life to come, a promise of a future to be explored. The trees point to the right, guiding the viewer to the painting in the center.
The central painting includes a pathway in the composition. This suggests moving forward into unknown terrain, climbing up a path that is a bit crooked and uneven, but guided by the light that is now in the background. The open space in this composition is on the right of the painting-the light blue of the sky which holds a sense of distance, a way forward, the bend of the trees guiding the wanderer up the path and into the near distance.
The painting on the right contains the body of water that one expects to find on Walden Pond: calm, cool, and a deep Prussian blue value that bespeaks a brisk New England autumn day. In this composition, the trees shift to the left, allowing the viewer to return to the first painting and engage with all three paintings as one unit.
The trees are included in all three of the paintings to represent the rootedness of life, a visual symbol used in many cultures such as in Navajo Sand-paintings. The water is symbolic of the ephemeral nature of life, another visual and spiritual symbol recognized in many cultures and throughout history.
As a naturalist, Thoreau understood that the path to a greater understanding of our life on earth is through an understanding of the natural world around us and of which we are part: "We can never have enough of nature", he wrote. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and Titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets. We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander." (reprinted from walden.org/thoreau).
Working on this commission for Care Dimensions has provided me with the opportunity to share my ideas with architects and designers, with the CEO of this important Hospice facility, and to channel the writings of Henry David Thoreau. Next: the mission of Care Dimensions and symbolic in the paintings.
If you are interested in finding out more about how my work, please contact me to discuss your ideas.
Care Dimensions Commission: What is a Blank Canvas?
A blank canvas is many things to an artist. It's a challenge and an opportunity. Having ordered the three panels from my friend "Ron the framer," I secured the base sheet of pulp to the surfaces and am ready to begin the painting (left). This is both an intimidating moment and one of pure thrill. I love the challenge of working in multiples and on a large scale with imagery that needs to work harmoniously, as one unit, in tandem with its neighboring paintings. The subject of each painting needs to flow back and forth so that one compliments the others, all the while holding its own identity. This is a far more challenging task than when working on a single image that does not need to share space with other work.
Because I work with architects and designers, the blank canvas extends to the intended space where the work will be installed. Often, this space is the construction site-full of dust and debris. I honestly love visiting the site, donning a hard hat and photographing the soon to be completed wall. The busy workers, noisy power tools, and smell of production are reminders for why I enjoy making site specific work. I love the companionship of working with people who see a vision, a future space where one does not currently exist. In many ways, this is what I see as an artist looking at a blank canvas: a future space where one does not currently exist.
Next post: the beginning stage of the paintings.
"Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." Leonardo da Vinci
Rocks and Water as Self Portrait: Day five
End of day five: sides of painting are glued down to the armature and pulp is added to the surface.
Day Four: Applying the background colors.
Day four: Today I applied the background colors and reconfigured the palette. The sides of the painting are as of yet not glued to the back of the armature. That will happen sometime next week. My goal today is to shore up the details in the rock areas and add more motion to the waves.

What I did over my Summer Vacation . . .
After years of studying Art History, I finally had the change to visit Greece. It was hot- 100 degrees every day! But it was a wonderful experience and I had the best tour director who knew her art history. Best of all, I made some great friends and fulfilled a life long dream.

The great and the good of European golf are in the UK this week, with a stellar field lined-up for the British Masters at Walton Heath.
Four of Europe's Ryder Cup stars will be in action and we've been looking at the best bets for the latest European Tour event – as the Race to Dubai hots up.
The only time the professional players get to play Walton Heath these days is for regional qualifying for the US Open.
Englishman Lewis carded rounds of 68 and 69 back in June to seal his place at the second Major of the year and that experience should help him this week.
The 27-year-old secured his second European Tour title last month, with victory in the Portugal Masters, and he looked in good form at last week's Dunhill Links Championship.
A 280 score over the four rounds saw Lewis secure a top-10 finish, a result that has seen him edge towards the top 100 in the world rankings.
The man from Hertfordshire (21/20 to beat Ryan Fox in Game Odds) has been paired with Shane Lowry and fellow Englishman Paul Waring over the first couple of rounds.
Matt Wallace – Outright @ 32/1
Wallace was another player to shine at the venue this summer, carding rounds of 67 and 70 in order to qualify for the US Open at Shinnecock Hills.
The 28-year-old has already won three events on Tour this year and has moved into the top-60 in the world, as he looks to build on his T19 finish at the PGA Championship.
A four-under-par 68 at the Old Course on Day One, helped Wallace secure a T28 finish in the Dunhill Links – which was a fifth tournament in six where he had finished -5 or better.
Haotong Li to beat Chris Wood – Round 1 Game Odds @ 4/5
Teeing off at 13:05pm on Thursday, the trio of Haotong Li, Chris Wood and Ryan Fox will be a group to watch out for.
Fox has been ultra-consistent this year, with no missed cuts on the European Tour and five Top-20 finishes. Meanwhile, Wood has secured three Top-25 finishes in his last four events.
But it's Chinese star Li who looks the man to watch from this three-ball, after a good showing in Scotland last week – he finished T5 but could have won it had he had made a better start on Day One, when he carded a 75.
After winning in Dubai in January, the 23-year-old looks to be getting ever closer to another Tour victory and is 30/1 to lift the trophy at Walton Heath on Sunday.
A good bet also looks like the 4/5 on offer for Li to defeat Wood in their respective first round scores.
For all new customers, ComeOn are currently offering a £10 free bet – make sure you sign up!

Drake Notes:
- Arguably, Drake's best player might just come off the bench. Redshirt junior Sara Rhine is bringing in a team-high 7.9 rebounds per game, shooting 59.2% from the field, and averaging a team-high 18.5 points per game, all while only starting three of the Bulldogs' 12 games thus far.
- On the other hand, Becca Hittner, Maddy Dean, Maddie Monahan, and Sammie Bachrodt are four of the players who have started all 12 games.
- Hittner, who was named the Jackie Stiles MVC Women's Basketball Player of the Year a season ago, currently only leads the team in threes made (27 for 59) and steals (18).
- A win's a win, but there are at least four worth pointing out. The Bulldogs won at Nebraska on November 7th, 83-77. That was followed roughly two weeks later by a 69-59 win over legendary coach C. Vivian Stringer and Rutgers. Then, it what may be their biggest win so far, a 90-85 overtime triumph over the South Carolina Gamecocks and coach Dawn Staley. A 16-point win over Creighton also is worth noting.
- Drake is in rare air entering Friday's game. They've lost three straight, most recently, a 91-82 loss to #16 Iowa. A 82-64 loss to #2 Notre Dame is another loss to keep in mind. The losing streak is the longest since the Bulldogs also lost three consecutive games from December 9th until December 21st of last season.
- 2 of the Bulldogs' 4 losses have come in true road games. The others came on a neutral floor (Notre Dame) and at home (Iowa).
Bradley Notes:
- The Braves have been scoring at a high pace so far. As of Wednesday evening, the Braves have four players averaging more than 10 points per game, led by Gabi Haack's 16.1 ppg, who's closely followed by Lasha Petree's 15.9 ppg.
- Chelsea Brackmann is averaging a double-double through non-conference games, totaling 10.8 points per game, and 10.5 rebounds per game.
- Notable wins so far include an 80-59 win at Florida Atlantic to win the hosts' tournament, an 82-68 win over Western Illinois, and a 67-65 win over Cleveland State.
- Maybe without argument, the Braves' most notable loss would be the game at Purdue, where the Braves turned a 27-point deficit into a seven-point game. Bradley ended up losing that one in West Lafayette, 74-61.
- Like the Bulldogs, the Braves have kept four out of five starting lineup slots the same all season thus far. Those for for Bradley are Gabi Haack, Nyjah White, Chelsea Brackmann, and Ellisha Davis. That group has combined for 433 of Bradley's 826 points scored (52.4%).
- With a dominant 89-59 win over Chicago State last Friday, the Braves won their program record 10th non-conference game, and now sit at (10-1).
- The Braves are on a six-game home winning streak, with their last home loss coming on Senior Day to Illinois State last season.
- The Bradley-Drake series a year ago, although swept by Drake, was very close both games. Drake won, 84-75, in Peoria. The Bulldogs then won in Des Moines, 77-71.
- The last time Bradley beat Drake was in Peoria, back on February 21st, 2013, when the Braves bested the Bulldogs by a score of 93-84. The Braves have not won at Drake since the 2009-10 season.

NRM MPs approve proposal for lining behind candidates
Wednesday March 20 2019
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) party Parliamentary Caucus has endorsed a proposal to introduce lining behind candidates during internal party elections.
The party endorsed the proposal on Tuesday. The proposal was initiated by the party's Central Executive Committee headed by president, Yoweri Museveni during their February retreat at Chobe Safari Lodge in Nwoya District.
During their Tuesday meeting at Ngoma State Lodge, in Nakaseke District, the NRM MPs recommended the amendment of the ruling NRM party constitution to accommodate the changes during the National Delegates' Conference, later this year.
In the past, party candidates were selected through secret ballot voting which method, according to the MPs, was not transparent.
The Tuesday meeting marked the end of the eight day caucus retreat, at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) in Kyankwanzi.
The party secretariat Senior Information Manager, Mr Rogers Mulindwa, says the MPs applauded CEC for the resolutions they have been adopting since the retreat started.
He said the MPs together with Mr Museveni trekked from Kyankwanzi to Ngoma State Lodge where the resolutions were read and approved by members.
The MPs also resolved that the government should urgently study the introduction of the National Youth Service and support government to bring down the costs of electricity to at least $ 5 cents for manufacturers.
The MPs asked government to ensure that commercial agriculture, manufacturing, the service industry and ICT are promoted to make Uganda's idle population active.
The MPs also urged government to increase budgetary support to the ICT sector and to closely monitor social media activities.

Journey: Part 5
The next few weeks were really hard on us. Really hard.
But- we made another plan.
Move in our new home, knock out some projects, do IVF again. And we did just that.
We moved in our new humble abode with mixed emotions. I was suppose to be fat and happy.......but instead, I'm puffy from emotional eating.....and I'm HOTT due to all of the manual labor of moving.
We closed the door to the nursery and didn't talk about. We didn't talk about the fact that while we toured the home.....we were pregnant and stood in the room and made dreams.
Thankfully- we have since opened the door again and it's 98% ready for sweet baby buddy boy!!
So we moved in September and did IVF again in Oct/November.
It was the same song and dance.
- The Dr. does not give a 2nd round discount
- You need new meds because you use all of your previous meds
- The shots STILL hurt
- Your heart becomes like steal because you don't want to get your hopes up
A few people asked me how I felt during this round......and my answer would always surprise them: if it works, it works......if it doesn't, we'll do it again.
I was very jaded and tried to guard my heart.
The timeline was:
Oct. 26th- Drop cash and start meds/ suppression check
Oct. 30th- ultrasound
Nov. 1st- ultrasound
Nov. 3rd- ultrasound
Nov. 5th- retrieval day!!
Nov. 10th- transfer day!!
Nov. 10th-14th- bedrest
*I was over stimulated with IVF Round #1 with 20 eggs. Therefore, I had more ultrasounds. This round, we had far fewer eggs, thus, not as many ultrasounds.
* I think there were more Dr. appts, but I didn't write them down in my IVF book.
This time was different. I knew in my heart that it didn't take. I never felt pregnant, I never felt the implantation, I just felt numb.
The day before Thanksgiving, blood work confirmed it didn't take.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Your emotions are different from miscarrying to never being pregnant. The pain is still there, but you are not mourning a loss.
New plan: get through Christmas and meet with Dr. McDreamy again and get a 2nd opinion.

B, You flatter me.
I've got some new photos in the works. I am the worst at getting a staged photo taken. I either look like I'm laughing too hard, or like I've been drinking too much (and sometimes both simultaneously).
Oh, and that would have to be one heckuva scandal to outdistance John Ford and Ray Blanton on the scandal scale. I'm just not up to that level of scandal making.
- Aunt B said...
You know, now that I think about it, a man would have to have started scandal making as a tiny boy to out scandal John Ford. That's a man with ambitious scandalizing, right there.
For those of you not from Tennesee, check out dude's wikipedia entry.
I'm afraid that, even if Bob were to suddenly go very bad, he could never catch up to that. Though, you know, if you're going to go wrong, go as wrong as you can, I think.

Awesome pictures!
I love the 1st picture the best, also love the action shot!
Great pictures!
The photographer did a fabulous job.

Those are really great shots! I love both of your dogs. Absolutely beautiful. There's so much to be said for a well done long crop on certain breeds.
Awesome pictures!!
Thanks everyone! I love these dogs so much, and the photographer was awesome. Would highly recommend to anyone in the PNW.
Great photo's!
They came out great! I wanted to hire a photographer to do pics of my dogs and then I realized how awful I am for not even considering family pictures!!!
Ha, we missed half the family, and I mostly just wanted pictures of the dogs, especially since Hannah is a senior with DCM. We plan on taking the pictures again with my boyfriend's kids. We just got a super deal with a groupon for 2 dogs, 2 people, so we figured we would try it out and if we liked it, we could always go back.
LOVE that action shot!!!
Beautiful. Being in the PNW... I have now bookmarked her page. Thanks for the recommendation!

Youthful approach to Milan-San Remo for ORICA-SCOTTWed 15 Mar 2017
Two of ORICA-SCOTT's youngest and most talented sprinters, Dane Magnus Cort and Australian Caleb Ewan, will line up at Milan – San Remo this weekend.
The young duo will be joined by former champion Simon Gerrans who delivered the team its first monument victory at the race in 2012 and can never be discounted for another shot at glory.
The Milan-San Remo is the first monument of 2017 and covers 291km, making it the longest one-day race on the professional calendar and a gruelling encounter for the entire peloton.
For two-time Vuelta a Espana stage winner Cort, the experience of the cobbled classics will assist him with the challenging distance.
"Magnus has some experience with races over 250km from the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix so we are confident he can take another step up in distance for Milan- San Remo this weekend," sport director Matt White said.
At just 22 years of age, Cyclassics Hamburg winner Ewan will use the opportunity to gain valuable experience, having yet tackled a race of this distance.
"Caleb hasn't had the ideal preparation having to withdraw from Tirreno-Adriatico followed his crash but he has been training well at home," White continued.
"For Caleb, this year is more about experience. We expect the distance to be a difficult task which is natural for a young rider who has yet to challenge himself in a race situation for this duration.
"But it is a race he is passionate about and we will hopefully see him feature even more in the future."
Supporting Cort, Ewan and Gerrans is an experienced group that includes Mathew Hayman, Michael Albasini, Daryl Impey, Jens Keukeleire and Luka Mezgec.
The team will look to conserve energy before the race 'builds to a crescendo' into the final.
"It's a long and nervous day," White explained. "The action really heats up in the last 30km with the Cipressa before the Poggio often sees fireworks as riders roll the dice ahead of the sprint."
ORICA-SCOTT at Milan - San Remo (Saturday, 18 March):
Michael Albasini (SWI, 36)
Magnus Cort (DEN, 24)
Caleb Ewan (AUS, 22)
Simon Gerrans (AUS, 36)

30 December, 2016
2016. The Year of the Esports Agency.
I definitely haven't been faithful to this blog for the bulk of this year. No excuses, I've just lacked the discipline needed to show it true affection.
My lack of writing aside, I just wanted to do a little shout-out before the year comes to a close. Not just because we grew Level99 into something I hope most of us love but because we got there on our terms (how rare is that?). Valuing relationships, delivering results and treating people the way we'd expect others to treat us.
Most importantly, we all used the word 'No' more than we'd ever done before. We only took work we believed in, devoted ourselves to it and often spent more time with our clients than our families.
We lost a Co-founder in Kim but we all learned a lot from him. We created logo's not just our mothers love. Helped build a team brand with 3 of the most amazing human beings in DOTA2. Developed and ran social media brands that even Reddit approved. Designed and coded websites and apps that pushed us. Created work that helped sell out venues for esports biggest Tournament Organizers. Gave advice but always only charged for impactful work.
In an industry full of consultants on monthly retainers telling people what to do and never doing it, writing about things they've never achieved (but hopefully you will someday) and talking behind people's back to win business.. we're still here with our conscience in tact.
I've loved every single moment of the incredibly satisfying yet bumpy ride we had this year because of just one reason.
The people I work with are the most empathetic, team-first, honest, talented group of lifelong learners I know. We grew this idea over a year ago into a little agency with now just under 30 full-time amazing people that I frankly don't even deserve to be in the same room with. The work I've been surrounded by this year, the things we have accomplished together… 2016 has literally been the most amazing year in my professional life and I have every 99′er to thank for it.
To whoever is still with 99 at the end of next year, I hope that together we can keep living our dreams doing what we love. I say whoever because if you're an agency, esports team or even general esports business reading this, I wouldn't be shocked for a moment if you finally succeed in hiring a 99′er. If we're not better next year than this year, I expect our competitors to try and take the golden geese. If you are or were a part of this place we call 'work' at some point, you will always be someone I have an infinite respect for.
To the 99′ers here today, thank you for accepting me for this long as your colleague or even friend. I will do everything I can to contribute in some way to making your lives better next year. I won't name the other people I have learned from and am so deeply thankful to this year because they know who they are… working with you all and watching you succeed has been nothing short of incredible.
And hey, maybe I'll get off my ass and start penning down some more humbled thoughts from an industry amateur sometime soon.

Bogdan recently forwarded to us a translated letter and photo that the children from Orphanage 12 received in response to a card they sent to "Santa Claus" or more than likely in their case "Father Frost". The response letter to the children was written by a Russian journalist in Moscow:
Dear Children,
Not long ago I was lucky to visit Santa Claus in Finland. His name in Finnish sounds very funny - "Yo-oo-loo-poo-kee". In Russian it sounds funny but in Finnish it means "Father Christmas". On the shelves in his house, Santa has lots of letters from children from all over the world. Santa let me have a look at some of those letters. Imagine my surprise when the first card I took from the shelf read "Z Naikrashimi Pobazhaniami" (Very Best Wishes - in Ukrainian). I don't understand Ukrainian very well but THAT I could understand. The card said it was from children of Orphanage No.12 in Kiev. Having read that card, I felt really warm and bright. You know what? You were the only ones who didn't ask Santa for anything. On the contrary - you were wishing Santa all the very best. Many children in their cards were just asking for things - a car, a helicopter, a truck, a computer, a doll.. .
You children are real good kids! That's what Santa and I concluded. I specifically made a photo of Santa with your card.
I would like to wish you all the very best! Don't give up and don't despair! Santa himself knows about you!

Our Objectives are achieved by having a group of like minded members that have a good geographical spread to service the needs of our customers, that also typically have depots spread over the country. There is also an environmental benefit to this strategy, as fewer lorries delivering produce are on the road, doing fewer miles. This geographical spread, including Polish and Portuguese Members, also means a few less tunnels for the sole reason of season extension as we are able to produce fruit on early and late sites.
The geographical spread also reduces the risk of weather related problems affecting all the members of the group at the same time, and this gives confidence to customers that we are not as reliant on the weather as groups that are all concentrated in a small area.
The PO was formed in 1996 and its expansion has out performed the sector, demonstrating the success of the group, and also that the group has helped the members benefit by more than the individuals would have been able to achieve by themselves.
Increased turnover
Congratulations to everyone, we have already exceeded £25 million turnover and £3 million up compared to last yearread more

What is the best time to buy a new TV? Well, it might just be this month. February is a great month for consumers to take advantage of deep discounts on a variety of products. There are several major shopping events that impact product price reductions, making it a prime time to save money on many items we've all been waiting on for the best bargains of the year.
Flat screen TVs
In early February, flat screen TV discounts are front and center with Super Bowl sales events and the news of new 2014 HDTV models from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January kickoff a perfect opportunity for consumers to save big dollars on quality upgrades. 2013 is trending for price reductions on bigger screens of 47" to 60". Consumers will find a large selection of LCDs, LEDs, Plasmas and prime savings on Home Theater bundles ramping up through February and on into the March Madness deals as retailers look to thin out 2013's overstock and make room for these 2014 models which start to show up in stores late April.
Cameras, smartphones, tablets
Other electronics like digital cameras, smartphones and tablets will also be available at reduced costs in February for much the same reason as flat screen TVs. If you're using older technology with these products, it's a great time to grab a newer version. Those looking to upgrade these products to the newest models may want to wait for timely sales later in the year (like Black Friday and Cyber Monday).
Presidents' Day deals
We don't often think of Presidents' Day as a major sales event, but in fact, it's the best time of year to take advantage of winter clearance items. Retailers use this 4-day event (Hint: Sales start early on Friday before Presidents' Day, which is Monday, Feb. 17) to start winter inventory clearance on a variety of home appliances and housewares. Expect some of the lowest prices of the year on humidifiers, space heaters (if you can find them after this brutal winter) and air conditioners. Housewares savings include huge discounts on bedding and bath accessories, small kitchen appliances, furniture and up to 50% on premium mattress sets.
Remember, it's still winter (most places), so hold off on snow removal product savings for a month or two. If you're waiting for that tax refund, there will still be remnants of February's steals available at even deeper discounts in March, although selection may be limited.

Business News of Wednesday, 19 April 2017
Source: Myjoyonline.com
President Nana Akufo-Addo will on Wednesday launch his government's agricultural flagship programme, Planting for Food and Jobs in Goaso, in the Brong Ahafo Region.
Some 200,000 farmers in the region are set to benefit when the programme rolls out.
In the 2017 budget, the government earmarked GH?560 million for the initiative expected to create over 70, 000 jobs.
The Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie-Akoto, reveals the programme will cover 2.5 million farmers nationwide after the pilot process.
Implementation mechanisms for the project have already been rolled out in some parts of the country.
Last month, a technical committee for the implementation of the initiative was set up in the Volta Region.
A total of 7,914 farmers made of 5,885 males and 1,797 females were registered in the Volta Region for the initiative.
Some 4,862 maize farmers in the region will be tasked with the cultivation of a total area of 14,400 Ha.
Although the initiative targets farmers, Dr Afriyie-Akoto, however, says every Ghanaian can join in for improved agric production.
Meanwhile, the Peasant Farmers Association (PFAG) has criticised initiative for what he describes avoidable lapses in the project.
Programmes Officer of PFAG, Charles Nyaaba, told Joy News imported seed for the programme have delayed and government plans to engage National Service personnel instead of trained Extension officers to work on the project.
PFAG is the umbrella body for over 80% of farmers in Ghana.

"Rainmaker" is the one word that best describes his work. Nick takes a creative idea
and before you know it, it's a reality. Nick has worked as a Marketing Executive and
Promoter/Producer for over 25 years. He has produced concerts featuring nationally
known artists such as George Carlin, Chuck Berry, Yes, The Allman Bros. And The
Beach Boys. Nick's experience in the music industry led him to television where he
created and produced "Aaron Neville's Christmas in New Orleans" television special
featuring Aaron Neville, Linda Ronstadt and Take Six which aired on The Family
Channel and MTM TV. The show was highly successful and was nominated for a
national ACE award. He also syndicated "America's Champion Making the United

includes the teen's parents. The show was developed and sold to New Line Cinema.
Currently Scaffidi and Chetta are creating two new television series, "Timmy's
Travels" and adventure program for kids and their families and "Scissors" an off-beat
adult situation comedy. More original programs are being considered for the future.
In early 1999 Nick and Steve collaborated to produce "The People's Story: The
Devastation of Central America." This award-winning film won the Gold Medal at the
Houston World Film Festival for best documentary feature film and is being
considered for a possible nomination to the 2000 Academy Awards.

Advice from the Chief Medical Officer, Department of Health and Children1 June 2011
In the last few days, WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as emitted by mobile phones as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This is based on research which has shown that a positive association has been observed between mobile phone use and an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancerWe may not truly understand the health affects of mobile phones for many years. However, research does show that using mobile phones affects brain activity. There is general consensus that children are more vulnerable to radiation from mobile phones than adults. Therefore the sensible thing to do is to adopt a precautionary approach rather than wait to have the risks confirmed.In the light of these findings, the Chief Medical Officer of the Department of Health and Children strongly advises that children and young people who do use mobile phones, should be encouraged to use mobile phones for "essential purposes only" All calls should be kept short as talking for long periods prolongs exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.All mobile phone users can reduce their exposure to radiofrequency energy by making fewer calls, reducing the length of calls, sending text messages instead of calling, using cell phones only when landline phones are unavailable, using a wired "hands free" device so that the phone need not be held against the head and refraining from keeping an active phone clipped to the belt or in the pocket.Given the scientific uncertainty regarding mobile phone related cancer risks, many countries including Germany, France, Austria, United Kingdom and Russia have taken a precautionary stance regarding cell phone use, particularly by children. There is strong evidence proving that using a mobile phone while driving increases the risk of traffic accidents. The use of a hands free kit does not significantly reduce this risk. Therefore the CMO strongly advises that all drivers should refrain from using mobile phones. This advice is based on the Report of an Expert Group chaired by Dr. Michael Rapacholi Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields which was commissioned by the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government in 2007, and the recent statement from the WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

Pay-TV group, Fox International Channels is to invest in and co-produce mainland Chinese movie "Go Lala Go 2," which will get a theatrical release in December. The picture has been developed at Chinese production house New Classics Media.
The romantic drama movie is based on a well-known novel that covers the different stages of the life of modern woman Du Lala and her career adventures. The first film "Go Lala Go," directed by Xu Jinglei, was a big hit in 2010 and a precursor to the current wave of Chinese contemporary romance films.
The sequel directed by Andrew Chien sees Du, now in her 30s, finally receive a marriage proposal from her long time suitor, though by then she is already dating another man. Meanwhile Du's assistant is busily chasing Du's suitor. The film satrs Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou and Chen Bolin.
"Go Lala Go 2" will be released in China, Singapore, North America, Australia and New Zealand on Dec. 4, Hong Kong and Macau on Dec. 10, and Taiwan on December 11 this year. It will later be exclusively screened on FIC's Chinese movies channel, SCM (STAR Chinese Movies) linear, VoD and online catch-up service (SCM Play) in Asia Pacific, as well as North America.
The investment move is FIC's first feature movie collaboration with China's New Classics Media, having previously worked together on TV series "Tiger Mom" but bith companies said they were loking to do more together.

"This collaboration is definitely a good foundation for both parties to engage a step further in the Chinese movie business," said Joon Lee, EVP of North Asia and Head of original production Mainland China at FIC. "We believe that 'Go Lala Go 2' will help build a more consistent and closer partnership between FIC and NCM, and lead the charge in pushing forward this wave of Chinese content to reach more audiences," said Cao Huayi, chairman of NCM.
NCM has produced hits this year including "Jian Bing Man" and "Goodbye Mr. Loser," with gross box office of over $400 million in China.
FIC has produced more than 70 hours of Chinese original scripted content, including films such as "Ah Boys to Men 3," "SARA," "Full Strike," and "1965," and is also developing several mini-series across Asia.

But there is a traitor among them…and the choices he makes could lead to the total destruction of everything Vi has fought for.
Vi, Jag, and Zenn must set their problems aside for the resistance to have any hope of ending the Thinkers' reign. Their success means everything…and their failure means death.

Afrox is forging ahead with its plans to establish a 150 tonnes-per-day ASU (air separation unit) in Port Elizabeth, to service customers across the Eastern Cape region.
This investment of approximately R300-million was recently approved by the board and is in response to current and future customer and industry requirements. Once commissioned, the ASU will eliminate the need for gas supplies to be brought in from far afield by road tankers and assure customers security of supply.
The investment earmarked for the Eastern Cape is part of a greater R1.5-billion strategic development programme aimed at boosting customer service levels, and supports Afrox's advancement strategy in South Africa. Other projects in the programme include the establishment of a R500-million centralised business campus near Umhlanga in KwaZulu-Natal, and a new R200-million ASU at Afrox's Pretoria West site.
Afrox MD Brett Kimber says the new Eastern Cape ASU has taken the lead from customer growth plans and is the culmination of a long-term plan to underpin security of future supply in the region. The company will break ground for this state-of-the-art installation later this year and expects to go into production by early 2015. The ASU will produce nitrogen, argon, oxygen and medical grade oxygen.
Afrox is the leading supplier of gas and related products in the Eastern Cape, supporting local businesses through long-term contracts and supply agreements. It is the country's only integrated gas company, differentiating itself in the local market by offering its customers an end-to-end solution that is fully integrated for each process. In practice, this means that customers can access the necessary consumables, equipment and gases, as well as on-site support and training, from a single reputable supplier.

The goal of this mission is to deface three Omni landmarks all within a fixed amount of time. With your Clan Nano-Spray in hand, proceed to 2HO, which has a Grid exit on the second level.
There are lots of omni guards as well as other Omni mobs between level 100 and 150 in this area. They will attack you on sight. Run forward from the grid exit (more or less due North) and you will arrive at the first billboard on the side of a building.
Omni Billboard
Stret East Bank - 727.5x1740.4
Coordinates: 727.5 1740.4
Target the billboard and right-click on the Clan Nano-Spray to spray graffiti on it. You will immediately receive a PvP "Flag" upon defacing the first billboard, if you are not already flagged from dealing the lieutenants int he area. You will also receive the first "Graffiti Artist" nano in your NCU. You must have all three "Graffiti Artist" nanos running in your NCU simultaneously to successfully complete this mission.
Turn around and head South towards the mound of dirt in front of the whompahs in the middle of the 2HO outpost. You will eventually reach three billboards. The two larger ones are regular advertisements. It is the smaller one that you are interested in.
Omni Billboard
Stret East Bank - 774.5x1637.2
Coordinates: 774.5 1637.2
Again, target the billboard and right-click on the Clan Nano-Spray to deface it. You will receive your second "Graffiti Artist" nano in your NCU. Now head East outside the entrance to the 2HO outpost. Just outside the outpost you will see the Omni obelisk.
Omni Obelisk
Stret East Bank - 863.3x1621.5
Coordinates: 863.3 1621.5
Target the obelisk and right-click on the Clan Nano-Spray to deface it and to receive the third "Graffiti Artist". You can turn around and head back into the outpost and use the whompa to 4-Holes or The Longest Road to return to Old Athen.
You must return to the Clan Mission Agency in Old Athen and speak to the Mission Agency Receptionist to receive your reward. He will remove the PvP flag as well.

Soon, in a separate post, we will update you about all we have been doing in Central America, particularly with sea turtles or the last two years. We will be having a research article published soon from our study in hawksbill turtles in El Salvador, and will update you on our first two seasons of sea turtle microbiome collection in Nicaragua, despite the ongoing turmoil in the country. We will also update you on our tick and zoonotic disease research in the area, and what we are working on for the future.
But today I'd like to announce that we have been asked by a collective in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to join them in One Health research and capacity building. A couple of months ago our President, Dr. Aubrey Tauer was contacted by an old research buddy of hers, who had worked with her on her student project with the organization Gorilla Doctors in Uganda in 2008. Jean-Paul Lukusa has a degree in microbiology and a Master of Public Health, and has been Manager of the Employee Health Program at Gorilla Doctors based in his native Congo for a number of years. He has organized a group of fellow Congolese scientists and health professionals, including physicians and veterinarians, around Goma city in the North Kivu province, into the group Volunteers for the Conservation of Fauna and Flora (VCFF). They have already accomplished significant One Health work in their free time from their normal jobs, including studies of zoonotic (infectious diseases spread between animals and humans) bacteria with antibiotic resistance in milking cows (a common exposure for many children who work on farms) and parasite infections in school aged children working for mining companies. We initially planned on collaborating on several different studies, many of them having to do with the health of child laborers, develop research projects in and around Virunga National Park when it reopens in 2019 into wildlife health and disease, developing alternative livelihood opportunities for people in this region to reduce poaching, such as small scale aquaculture farming (with the hope that we could also reduce the burden of malaria carrying mosquitoes around such farm systems) and much more, including supporting Congolese students in getting masters degrees in biotechnology, which are not offered in DR Congo.
However, if you've been paying attention to the news, our initial plans for where we wanted to get started have to take a back seat to the growing Ebola virus crisis in North Kivu province. As of yesterday, November 26th, there have been over 400 confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease, and due to instability in the region because of armed rebel groups around the areas having the outbreak, and general public mistrust of the government (especially so close to the December 23rd Presidential election which has everyone on high alert) the Ministry of Health is having difficulty tracing contacts, finding resistance to vaccination with the newly approved Ebola vaccine, and are discovering cases of Ebola after people have already died, exposing many other people potentially to the disease, which is not how any infectious disease outbreak like this should be progressing (it is much easier to stop an epidemic when you can quarantine and treat disease positive patients and trace their contacts and vaccinate or treat those contacts). And, amazing as it may sound to people in the West who have followed the Ebola pandemic of 2014-2018, many people in the North Kivu region have never heard of Ebola virus disease, making it that much harder for responding agencies to win the people's trust.
So Mr. Lukusa and his colleagues have proposed to adapt a workshop they have already used successfully several times, which involves educating school children and community members at schools and churches around Goma city about sanitation, preventing disease transmission especially through proper hand washing techniques, discussing vaccines for preventing disease, and installing hand washing stations with clean filtered water, usually incorporating games or song/dance activities, a proven method in Central Africa for using culturally appropriate methods to discuss these kinds of topics, often used in conservation biology. Mr. Lukusa and the VCFF and Cūra Earth have decided to work together to adapt this workshop to assist the Congolese Ministry of Health, Medicine Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), and the World Health Organization with their efforts to eliminate the disease outbreak, but with a different approach than traditional epidemiology used by those organizations, which involves tracing contacts of ill individuals, testing and treating for Ebola virus disease, and vaccinating contacts.
Vaccination alone is a contentious topic in North Kivu province, as many people, very concerned that their government may try to hurt them, especially this close to the Presidential election which has been delayed by two years already, distrust vaccines. Distrust of the communities towards the Ministry of Health and foreign aid groups is very high right now, and we believe a group of Congolese scientists not affiliated with the government but working with contacts in the Ministry of Health to target our workshops at groups and locations that desperately need them can help shorten the duration of the outbreak, the size and lack of control of which has many people worried it will spread to other countries in the region, especially Uganda and Rwanda which are very close to the outbreak area in DR Congo.
We need to immediately raise $40,000 in order to host the number of workshops that we believe are necessary to combat the disease, around the Beni and Butembo where most of the Ebola cases are concentrated, as well as around Goma, which is south of the outbreak zone but a fairly short distance from it, is a large city, and right on the border with Rwanda where many people move back and forth. Having the communities ready in Goma in case the disease spreads towards them is essential, it could prevent some or many of the problems the teams in the outbreak area are having. VCFF and Cūra Earth have identified and started developing more modules for the workshops including one on transmission of Ebola virus from bushmeat and what the virus does, and fundraising takes into account installing filtered water hand washing stations at community gathering places such as schools and churches. We are very excited to be able to start this program as soon as funding is secured, which is why we are pursuing both crowd-funding and other sources of funding.
Once we have a minimum amount to cover transportation, educational materials, and the hand washing station equipment we can get started, while continuing to raise money to fund more workshops and travel further outside Goma into the region in northeastern North Kivu province where the outbreak is ongoing. We have discussed and continue to discuss the best way for the team to stay safe, from both the Ebola virus itself as well as the armed rebel groups in the region. I hope you will see the importance and necessity of what we are doing, not as a replacement for the work of the Ministry of Health, MSF, or WHO, but to compliment their activities and ultimately make their work easier, and that it is essential to support solutions to crises like this by people on the ground, who know the culture and are native to the area in which it is occurring, providing a perspective that is unique and valuable. Please consider making a donation today through our website or through our GoFundMe, ask your employers about matching contributions, and please spread the word about our fundraising efforts. Cūra Earth is acting as a financial sponsor for VCFF as they are not a 501c3 nonprofit in the US, and any money raised over the targeted goal will go towards more workshops/more outreach, as well as startup funds for projects we hope to launch once the Ebola outbreak is eliminated, such as scholarships for Congolese students to attend graduate school in Eastern African countries, fund research projects for Congolese and other students, fund research and development projects in eastern DR Congo. Have questions about the project or have ways you believe you can help? Post a comment or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for your support! GoFundMe link for campaign!

Bernie Krause has spent decades recording the sounds of nature. He founded Wild Sanctuary to record and archive the sounds of nature and was instrumental in the development of soundscape ecology, promoting the relevance of the 'acoustic environment' to all within that ecosystem.
"There was a time when I considered natural soundscapes to be a worthless artifact," he acknowledges. "Well, I was wrong. What I learned from these encounters was that careful listening gives us incredibly useful tools by which to evaluate the health of a habitat across the entire spectrum of life."
First, some basics. A soundscape essentially consists of three sources: the "geophony," or the non-biological sounds of any habitat, such as the wind in the trees and the waves on the beach; the "biophony," or the collective sound organisms make in their collective wild habit; and the "anthrophony," which is the sound humans make.
Nowadays, soundscape ecologists examine all three sources together. After all, "you wouldn't try to understand the magnificence of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony by abstracting the sound of a single violin player out of the context of the orchestra and hearing just that one part." So why would we try to understand only one line of nature's musical notation system?
The strength of Bernie Krause's work in relation to silence is simply his archival recordings and his observations as a field recorder and field naturalist. He is also a pioneer in the field of soundscape ecology, where the acoustic environment is considered as part of an ecosystem and comprises:
- biophony [Krause's term] – sound from natural biological sources
- geopheny – sound from non biological sources
- anthropophony – sound from human sources
- including technophony – electro-mechanical noise
Silence can be a problem, as it indicates the absence of all or some of these contributors. His work in California's Sierra Nevadas before and after logging has become an important discussion point. The visual landscape has hardly changed after selective logging (consented to by the community) but the sonic landscape is much changed.

I've decided I won't recap this week and next week. This is mainly due to Spring break being last week and Easter break coming up next weekend, however I've also been pretty stressed over life things, as you may have guessed from my post yesterday, and have generally just been out of sorts all week.
If I feel the need to, and if I remember, I'll share any significant events or thoughts that may occur over the next week or so, they just won't be in the usual format of a weekly recap. Who knows? These "special days" posts may end up being a new, unofficial format of this blog.

Algeria Declares Fmr. PM Tebboune Winner Of Presidential Election
Algeria`s former prime minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune has won the nations's presidential election with 58% of the vote, in an election marred by protests and a boycott. 74-year-old Tebboune was a civil servant before he became prime minister in 2017, he also served as housing minister and information minister.
Algeria national electoral body says the voter turnout was just 40% – the lowest ever for a multi-party election in Algeria.
The vote had been boycotted by people in the protest movement who said all the candidates were recycled. Demonstrators wanted a new kind of politics and political candidates. All five candidates in the election are former senior government officials.
Thousands of Algerians took to the streets in Algiers on Thursday to protest against a presidential election they describe as a charade. They were chanting "no vote! We want freedom!" They claim it was an election held to keep the ruling elite in power. Police used sticks to disperse marchers in the capital, but had to fall back as the crowd grew.
