Hollande inaugurates world's largest slavery memorial in French West Indies
France's President François Hollande inaugurated the largest slavery memorial in the world on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe on Sunday. US black rights activist Angela Davis was to be awarded the freedom of the former slave port of Nantes during France's day to commemorate the slave trade and its abolition.
The opening of the ACTe memorial on the site of a former sugar refinery that processed the products of slave plantations "will allow Guadeloupe and the whole of the Caribbean, with a deep bond with Africa, to tell the world that the combat for human dignity is not over", Hollande said on Saturday ahead of the inauguration.
He cited the people smugglers in the Mediterranean and the recruiters of child soldiers as some of the "new slave-traders".
The memorial, a newly built building overlooking the bay of Guadeloupe's main town, Pointe-à-Pitre, looks at the history of slavery from antiquity to the modern day and pays homage to slave revolts and runaways who established free communities in the New World.
Its cost - 83 million euros - has aroused criticism on an island with serious economic problems, although local officials hope it will help attract tourists to the island.
"Today Guadeloupe means 60 per cent of under-25-year-olds unemployed, practically 30-33 per cent of the working age population unemployed, an illiteracy rate of more than 25 per cent of the population," trade unionist Elie Domota, who led a general strike against the rising cost of living in 2009, told France Inter radio.
He called for abrogation of laws passed in 1848 and 1849, which compensated slave-owners for the abolition of slavery.
The ceremony - attended by Senegal's President Macky Sall, Mali's Ibrahim Bouboucar Keïta and Benin's Thomas Boni Yayi - was to be broadcast live at the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, where Prime Minister Manuel Valls attended the government's official event to mark the day.
American Communist Party activist and veteran black rights activist Angela Davis was to receive the freedom of Nantes, France's main slave port before abolition, on Sunday, while another former slave port, Brest, inaugurated a 10-metre-high sculpture, entitled Mémoires, with two faces, one looking out to the Atlantic, the other towards Europe.
Several activists' groups in the French West Indies and in France have launched legal cases for compensation for the trade.
One of them, the Cran, announced on Saturday that it has filed a case for profiting from crimes against humanity against the former head of employers' union Medef, Ernest-Antoine Seillière, who was also boss of the Wendel group, an investment fund founded by his ancestors that had interests in plantations and slave ships.
"The descendants of slave traders are not guilty but they have profited from it and their fortune comes from ill-gotten gains," commented Cran president Louis-Georges Tin. "In refusing compensation, they make themselves liable for the crime that they are vainly trying to dissociate them from."Articles
France's Francois Hollande Visits Haiti
France President Francois Hollande made an official visit Haiti on Tuesday, part of a wider tour that included stops in St Barth, St Martin, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Cuba.
Hollande became only the second sitting French President to visit the country's onetime colony, following a visit by former French leader Nicolas Sarkozy.
Hollande's visit included talks with Haiti President Michel Martelly and the signing of a joint declaration on cooperation in areas including education, vocational training and research.
Several other agreements were also signed in the context of the visit, including one between Electricite de France and L'Électricité d'Haïti, the country's energy utilities, and between France's Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Haiti's National Office of Civil Aviation, among others.
Hollande pointed to the often tense history between the two countries; after Haiti's revolution, France forced the young country in 1825 to pay 150 million gold francs in a debt of independence; while it was later reduced, it was a sum that was not paid in full until nearly 125 years later.
"Of course, there is history," Hollande said, met by a group of protestors demanding restitution for the debt. "We cannot change history, but we can change the future. That's what I came to tell you."
French President François Hollande Inaugurated a Museum
Hollande, who is on a tour of the Antillean islands that includes a scheduled trip to Cuba, paid homage to slaves and their sacrifices at the memorial, which is the first of its kind by France to remember those who suffered during the slave trade.
"The way I see it, this monument will allow Guadeloupe, but also the entire Caribbean with a deep link to Africa as many African leaders will be here, to tell the whole world that the fight for human dignity is not over," Hollande said on a trip to the French Caribbean island of Martinique on Saturday.
"We have to remember what happened, remember history of course, but also we must find hope, and we must fight on," he said, to explain the significance of Sunday's inauguration.
Called the Memorial ACTe, the site is described as "a Caribbean centre on the expression and memory of slavery and the slave trade" and is housed in a former sugar factory in the Guadeloupian city of Pointe-à-Pitre.
The museum holds hundreds of objects dating back several centuries that bear witness to France's turbulent history -- that included slavery from the 17th to 19th centuries -- when black people were sold to work on the islands' sprawling sugar plantations.
Thierry Létang, an anthropologist, showed whips and shackles in the museum to a film crew. "This type of lock is very French. They were worn around the feet," he said, holding the heavy rusted shackles against his feet.
The museum explains the history of slavery and the slave trade using archived documents, images, artefacts, everyday objects plus visual and audio testimonials, the museum's website noted.
"We don't have museums or memorial sites that allow us to understand this part of French history and especially places that allow people to gather without courting controversy. But this memorial site allows us to do so," said Patrick Lozès, president and founder member of the Council Representing the Associations of the Black People of France.
France abolished slavery in 1848 but only recognised slavery as a crime against humanity since 2001.
The cost of the Memorial ACTe project, however, has come under scrutiny. The 85 million euros spent on the memorial could have been better used elsewhere, critics say, in a region where 60 percent of young people are unemployed.
Hollande's visit to the site has also put the spotlight on reparation claims made by descendants of slaves in Guadeloupe.
In 2013, Hollande acknowledged the country's "debt" to Africa because of slave trade and the "baneful role played by France." But he also said that this history "cannot be the subject of a transaction", AP reported.
The memorial, which hopes to welcome 300,000 people annually, is scheduled to open to the public in July.Articles

Shoogle Up the Housing Market Removing Auld Red Tape?
At the end of August last year the Home Builders Federation released figures showing the number of new homes given planning permission for the first half of 2011 in the UK. The information is split by region and it showed a worrying trend for Scotland. In two years the proportion of new homes built in Scotland has halved. In 2009 it represented 18% of the overall number and now this has fallen to 9%.
Complaints have long been made across the UK for more land to be made available for new homes to be built on, an endemic problem within small countries with ever growing populations and finite boundaries. So, as no boundary is as finite as the North Sea and with little internal land available to free up, the Scottish government has done the next best thing and relaxed the rules for home improvements.
The new, more simplified rules apply to projects such as extensions, garages and sheds though of course previous restrictions remain in place for listed buildings or conservations areas. The hope is to reduce planning applications by around 4000 developments. Whilst this falls short of freeing up protected land for new homes it will ease pressure on the overall demand for new homes as current properties are extended and developed more quickly. For example, a couple with one child in a two bedroom terrace house can extend their property should they have more children rather than take up potential new builds.
However, the new rules don't mean large extensions for extra flats for example will be accepted any more easily. Planning Minister Derek Mackay said "We consulted extensively before introducing these changes and I am confident they strike the right balance between cutting red tape to help householders and protecting privacy and the appearance of Scotland's buildings". If the new simplified home improvement rules are a success north of the border England could hope to see a similar change though nothing has been officially confirmed. However, as the drive by the coalition government to cut costs continues to bite, improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of the planning system in Scotland will be difficult to ignore if proven in practice.

The "pink drink" isn't your only option.
When you're on the keto diet, at first, you feel like an unstoppable one-woman keto army—cooking at home, meal-prepping, even brewing your own coffee.
But damn, that's hard—especially when all you want to do is go for a Starbucks run.
Good news, though: You don't have to give up your beloved 'bucks orders. There are plenty of options out there so you can stay keto and enjoy your fave morning (or afternoon, or evening) pick-me-up in the process.
Overall, you want to stick with four simple rules, says Julie Upton, R.D., co-founder of Appetite for Health: First, order sugar-free options, since sugar = carbs. Next, opt for heavy cream over regular milk (again, lactose is another carb). And then consider adding unsweetened nut milks like almond or coconut to drinks.
But those are just the basics. Here are some specific drinks—based on your specific needs (and mood)—that are still totally keto-friendly

We made our way to LR for the first time after my wreck...I was a but nervous, but shouldn't have been!
We made it to the mall, after eating Chick in town (& for the first time I didn't let Ryder play because he didn't eat his chicken!).
There was no one there to see the Bunny but us...I had given Ryder last years picture so he could get used to the bunny. He held on to it the whole way there & seemed soooo excited. Wrong. The second he saw the bunny he jusy wasn't gonna have it! I gave the bunny knuckles, high five...everything but Ryder just did.not.care for him!
I finally just sat up there with him & the lady let us take multiple shots since no one else was in line. I tickled him so he would smile & we finally got a good one!
And just for fun...here is last year's Bunny pic! When he LOVED him. Didn't think twice, just sat up there & smiled! =)
I hope this is something I make a point to continue to do with him each year. Even though he doesn't like him, I still took him & we still made a memory together. That is what's important.

One Year...
the day it all changed.
It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: "The tumor came back."
My heart stopped.
Andrew explained what they saw, and while we didn't know for sure what it all meant, we knew by his demeanor that it wasn't good. At that point, Matt and I were both in tears. Andrew then asked if he could pray for us, and we said yes, of course. That moment was so special and meant so much to us. I have never had a PA or a nurse or doctor pray with me before. It was just another indicator that God was there with us, through every second of this.
6 months....that's something you never want to hear. Those words echoed in my head daily after that. 6 months. 6 months. 6 months.
Later in August, Matt started using the Optune device, which was showing some promise in helping people with GBM live longer. It was annoying, but just like with the diet and supplements, we were willing to try anything. Unfortunately, Matt was only able to do a couple of months with the Optune until he developed a rash that would last for days every time we put it on. So we and the doctor made the decision to stop that treatment. Matt continued with the keto diet and the oral chemotherapy up until December. At that point, his neuro-oncologist decided to switch from the oral chemo, to infusions of Avastin, which would be administered intravenously every 2 weeks.
I know that those things really got to him, and he was frustrated and discouraged that he couldn't do things he once could,even right after his surgery. Everything he did required so much thought and effort that walks weren't even enjoyable anymore, because he had to think about how to move his feet and swing his arms. We'd go out to eat at a restaurant, and I had to watch him struggle to cut his steak. I hated watching him have to go through that. I know that it was wearing on him mentally. He wasn't working at the gym at this point, but he was still driving and training his wrestling class at OVW, which I know really helped him and made him feel like he still had purpose. But eventually when Matt could no longer walk, he was unable to continue teaching the class.
We did try physical therapy and even went to Frazier rehab for inpatient therapy in February for 2 weeks in hope that he would be able to walk again...but the results from that were minimal. Things just slowly kept getting worse. During this time, Matt was having a harder time talking and the left side of his face no longer moved. He started doing a thumbs up or down for yes or no. Eventually he stopped talking completely, besides the occasional "yeah" when we asked him a question. He was also having a harder time chewing and swallowing, so he started eating less and less, which of course led to weight loss. It has been really hard watching my big, strong, outgoing, funny, full of life husband just slowly wither away....
He didn't open up to me too much about how he felt about all this, besides his frustrations about the things he couldn't do anymore. I feel like he probably held so much inside because he didn't want to worry me. When he was still able to talk some, he did express to me that he was a little worried and scared the day we talked with the doctor about the tumor growing and causing increased swelling back in March. I think that was the point when the doctor recommended radiation, which Matt wasn't too thrilled about. We did finally decide to do it, since we didn't seem to have any other options at that point....And I know that like me, Matt wanted to know that we tried everything we could.
At the end of April, after talking with Dr. Larocca about Matt's continual decline, he told us he thought we were at the point where we should stop treatment and that Matt probably only had a few weeks left. He finished the radiation treatments, but no more chemo. That was almost 2 months ago.
He does often stare off to the right lately for some reason. The smiles I get now are few and far between, but I do still get them occasionally. I try to make him laugh but don't usually succeed anymore. I always tell him that I know he's laughing on the inside! Either that, or he's like, please get this crazy girl out of my face! We have him on Ativan for seizures and anxiety, which seems to help keep him calm and peaceful. He hasn't had solid food in weeks, but I am able to get in a protein shake with whole milk and lots of peanut butter. He's just skin and bones now... Just the other day I looked at him when I was taking his shirt off, and it made me tear up because he's starting to look like a skeleton.
I've already had numerous people message me saying that they never pray, but that they're praying for us, or people who have told me that we are inspiring them in their relationship and walk with God. That means SO much and makes this somewhat bearable. I know it has to make Matt feel good to know that he has impacted so many people, that he has walked the walk and been a witness and set a good example for the Lord, as we are all called to do as Christians. It sucks to go through something like this, but I know God is working and moving. All the both of us want is for Him to be glorified. As Jesus said in John 12: 28, Father, bring glory to Your name.

Fan-filmed video footage of STEVE GRIMMETT'S GRIM REAPER, the revamped version of the cult '80s British metal act GRIM REAPER, peforming on April 27 at the Keep It True XXI festival at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany can be seen below.
STEVE GRIMMETT'S GRIM REAPER lead singer Steve Grimmett had his right leg partially amputated in January 2017 after an infected wound on his foot spread to the bones in his leg part way through the group's five-week tour of South America.
The life-saving surgery was carried out in Ecuador and the 58-year-old singer was in hospital for just over a month while fans raised $14,000 to bring him home after his insurance company refused to pay because of the type of work he was doing.
"It was tough but throughout it all I have kept a positive attitude," Steve told the Swindon Advertiser.
"Throughout the two operations, for which I was given epidurals, I was thinking of the soldiers who come back from war far worse than me.
"I am a big war bird buff and I thought of Sir Douglas Bader and what he achieved without either of his legs.
"While I was in hospital, I felt a bit down because I missed [my wife] Millie and my family, but not because I had lost a leg.
"At times, it could be amusing: fans were coming in to see me and I could tell when the medical workers were using the Internet to check me out because I'd hear them playing my songs."
Grimmett told the Swindon Advertiser: "What's happened has been very humbling, especially when I consider the number of people who have helped me. I now look on life a bit differently. What's happened has taught me not to be impatient and to make the most out of life."
Grimmett reformed GRIM REAPER in 2006 as STEVE GRIMMETT'S GRIM REAPER following an amicable decision between the singer and original GRIM REAPER guitarist Nick Bowcott, who both agreed that using the original name minus the other members of the classic lineup wouldn't be a proper reunion.

We pod hopped our way to the blinker, 4 nautical miles offshore, and we hit the jackpot with another mum and calf. The calf breached for 15mins straight, much to our delight. Not too far off we found 10 whales swimming in typical formation which was an incredible way to finish off the morning.
Wacky Doo again..!! We spotted our first pod only 15mins into our cruise and they started with a bang! We came across a little calf, which we could see was a little girl, and she breached over and over for the first 30mins of our trip. She was only interrupted by a pod of two males who wanted mum's attention. We watched one of the males perform a series of peduncle throws out of frustration. It was a perfect end to the afternoon.

In the end, despite his notorious gaffe and calls for a more pronounced renovation in the governance of Italian football, Mr Carlo Tavecchio managed to become the President of the Italian Football Federation.
However, UEFA opened an official investigation on Mr Tavecchio's controversial statement, and FIFA could follow suit. Even the Prosecutor's Office of Mr Tavecchio's own Federation could do the same.
In an interview to the newspaper Il Corriere della Sera Mr Giovanni Malagò, the President of the Italian Olympic Committee, stated that "he would not be surprised at all if [Mr Tavecchio] decided to step aside and resign".
The Italian Olympic Committee is a public entity with surveillance and governance power over the entire sports galaxy.

How to Care for a Cactus
Table Of Content
Cacti Care – All About Soil, Air, Water, Potting, and More
How do you care for that irresistible little cactus and those cute little succulents that just followed you home from the garden center?
Maybe you want to repot them into that pretty ceramic planter Mom gave you for Christmas last year?
- How do you do that?
- How do you avoid getting stuck by cactus spines when potting?
These and other questions will be answered here. I am a long-time cacti and succulent lover and have had hundreds of plants follow me home–I think I'm the Pied Piper of cacti and succulents.
Proper soil and water, potting, transplanting and more–I will share with you a bit of the wisdom that succulent and cactus plants have taught me over the years and how you can keep them happy and healthy.
Cacti are Succulents
Did you know that cacti are succulent plants? All cacti are succulents. Succulents are not cacti.
Many people don't realize this and it becomes even more confusing when online plant sellers use inaccurate keywords to attract buyers. I've seen, for example, an Echeveria labeled "Echeveria – Cactus – Succulent." An Echeveria is NOT a cactus!
The expression "cacti and succulents" is used everywhere in society–but in reality they are all just succulents, although I use "cacti and succulents" because it is customary. Even the CSSA uses it–they are the Cactus and Succulent Society of America.
Know the Species Name
Enabling You to Take Better Care of Your Plants
Generally when people start out with cacti or succulents, they do not care to know the species name.
I know this because, years ago, I was one of these people–I didn't want to be bothered with any of the boring stuff, like species names.
Over the years, as my collection grew and I acquired some rare varieties, it became important to know the names. There are many advantages of knowing the species names.
You can learn about their natural habitat and place them in an optimum environment for their health.
It will be easier seeking guidance if you know the species name.
You will know when your plant might bloom, its growth cycles, pests to look out for, and more.
Knowing the species enables you to take better care of your plants. It means the difference between their thriving and merely surviving.
For some reason, I happen to love databases and created a one (using FileMaker) that contains notes on my over 200 plants.
I have a record of the dates I planted seeds, made a cutting, or divided a plant. When I find obscure information on my rare plants, I record it in this database. There's even a record for the dead plants because losing one is usually an important lesson.
Beginners growing more common cacti and succulents can usually get by without getting into the species names. But if you're getting more serious, and really love your plants, you'll definitely benefit from knowing and researching them–and even maintaining records about the species.
Love and Your Plants
Think of it this way, you have a relationship with your plants because you are the caregiver. If you were in a relationship with a human, you'd learn their name, pay attention to their characteristics, their signals, their needs. Doing this is loving. So please love 'em.
Why the Species Name is Important
When I first acquired these fuzzy rare gems called Conophytum stephanii a few years ago, I didn't know anything about them–just that I needed to have them–they had my name!
These are rare plants and finding particular information a particular rare species is not that easy. I hadn't yet located a copy of the best rare book on these rare plants, which told me that they prefer a shady spot, unusual for a Conophytum.
So that explained why they did not grow bigger and were pale with a brownish tinge. After growing them in the shade for a year, they're now a happy, pretty green. Without the species name, I could have lost the plant.
What is in a Species Name?
Genus and Species. The names of plants like Mammillaria longiana, Astrophytum asterias, Haworthia pumila, and Euphorbia obesa, are stating the genus followed by the species.
The genera (plural for genus) are Mammillaria, Astrophytum, Haworthia and Euphorbia and are properly capitalized. The second part is the species name and is properly written in lower case.
For example, Mammillaria longiana (shown in the photo on the right), "Mammillaria" is the genus and "longiana" is the species. Mammillaria is a member of the Cactaceae family–it is a cactus and one of the ones listed on my desert plant list.
Cactus Care
Don't Do These Things! Learning is process and sometimes when you accidentally kill a plant, you learn. Every cacti and succulent expert has killed some, at least in the beginning.
So I am going to tell you what will kill them so you know what not to do, and if you ever do any of these things I hope you learn from them. I wish someone would have given me this list when I was younger and just beginning to grow succulents.
1. Water them every day and keep the soil moist–over-watering causes rot and they will die. This is the most common mistake beginners make–don't do it.
2. Water them when the temperature is cold (50 degrees or less). Even if they are a little wrinkled, and it's very cold, you'd best wait until it's warmer.
What if it's not getting warmer for months? Well, in that case I'd water only the soil, only about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon for a 2.5″ pot (adjust for larger pots). If you get any water on the leaves or stem, use a tissue to dry it. I lost a Euphorbia in winter, that got some of the overspray on its leaves when I was misting the Lithops (Yes, it's a plant that likes water in winter). I wasn't paying attention–don't do it.
3. In summer, many of these plants do not absorb water during the day, but at night when it's a bit cooler. Watering in the evening during the hotter months is a good strategy. Also, when watering in the heat of the day, it can be something like the equivalent of boiling water on their roots–don't do it.
4. Leave them outside in freezing weather, don't do it.
Secret Recipe for Growing Cactus Indoors
Good air circulation, just enough water, good light, the right temperature, well-draining soil and love is what's needed.
Place them in an airy location. Pests tend to attack plants that are stressed by less than optimal conditions.
For example, in my mother's courtyard where the air is stagnant, her beautiful old Jade plants (Crassula ovata) are pestered by scale insects over and over again.
Proper watering, covered in the next section, is quite long because of its importance and there is no simple rule.
Light – Most cacti and succulents enjoy bright light, with or without a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Notice where it was growing in the plant nursery and try to replicate those conditions.
Healthy cacti and succulent plants not only look good, but are much less likely to attract pests and have other problems.
If you want to move your plant from a shady location into sun, do it gradually over several days. Just like you, they will get sun-burned if they haven't been in the sun lately.
If you have a cactus that doesn't bloom, consider giving it more light. The spectacular flowers really make enduring those stickers worthwhile.
Cacti and succulents can also be grown under fluorescent lights, as I do with many of my plants.
Move plants gradually from shade to sun to prevent sunburn and so they can acclimate.
Temperature – Many cacti and succulents cannot endure freezing temperatures. In my climate in New Mexico, I bring my cactus in for the winter.
If a freeze comes on suddenly when you're out of town, the devastating result is what you see in the cactus photo in the previous section.
As a rule, I do not allow my plants to experience temperatures below 45 degrees. While they may survive a night of freezing temperatures, if they freeze on consecutive nights, they will die. It is best to avoid freezing all around.
Acidity / Alkalinity (pH) – The acidity or alkalinity of the soil is represented by pH. Most succulents and desert cacti grow well in slightly acidic soil, 6 on the pH scale. Limestone soil, like the soil in my yard, is very alkaline. Water that is high in mineral content, e.g., "hard water" will increase the alkalinity of the soil over time, while acid rain increases acidity. Epiphyllum, a tropical cactus, grows well in acid soil with high peat content.
If you're just starting out, you need not worry too much about pH as long as you are growing more common plants and using the soil recipe here. For good details about soil pH, check out this website.
If you fertilize your cacti and succulents, apply at 1/3 the strength of the recommended amount, or use a fertilizer specifically for cacti and succulents (usually hard to find).
Fertilizer – I fertilize my plants very rarely, only during their active growing period, and usually only if I have not repotted them in the last year or so.
When the soil is refreshed during repotting, more nutrients are available to the roots. If you must fertilize, do so sparingly and at 1/3 the strength of what is recommended for regular house plants. Consider their natural habitat where they don't get a lot of extra nutrients. There are many growers who like to fertilize them more than I do.
The secret recipe is not really a secret. Good air circulation, just enough water, good light, the right temperature, well-draining soil and love is what is needed.
How Often to Water Cactus
What the Plants Have Taught Me. Cacti and succulents need just enough water. Proper watering of cacti and succulents is most important.
The factors that determine how much water they need are: how succulent they are, if they have a well-developed root system, size of their pot, soil composition, if a top dressing of gravel is used, and temperature and humidity.
Generally, cacti and succulents with thicker stems and leaves can be watered with less frequency than those with thin stems and leaves.
Plants in smaller pots need less water than those in larger pots.
A plant with a well-developed root system can absorb more water than one with a small root system. You may need to water the latter more frequently until the roots grow.
It is always best to err on the side of under-watering. If you think it's time to water, wait three days and then water.
Using an extremely well-draining soil mix, like the one on this page, will dry out more quickly because it is airy.
With the addition of a top dressing, like gravel, the soil dries out more slowly.
It is always best to err on the side of under-watering. Some of the signs that the plant is thirsty are: cactus ribs becoming more defined, skin wrinkling, or leaves drooping. Some plants become pale when thirsty, like my Aloe vera plant.
I tell my friends and family, if you think it's time to water, wait 3 days and then water. This is what brought me success for a long time until I got better at sensing when it was time to water.
Cacti and some succulents are dormant in winter, when I water them extremely lightly about once in 4-8 weeks.
A tip from Steven Hammer, reknown author and South African succulent expert, is to smell the soil when its damp. Then when you think its time to water, smell it. Damp soil and dry soil are very different. If you practice, it will become a skill. This has helped me tremendously with some of my rare succulents and cacti.
Chlorine-free water is healthier for all your plants.
Chlorine kills bacteria and microbes in water. It is not good for plants either. I use filtered water to remove the chlorine. If you are not able to filter your water, I recommend letting it sit for a few days so the chlorine can evaporate. Many people use chlorinated water to water their plants–my recommendations are for optimum plant health.
Over-watering one time, generally does not kill them, especially with well-draining soil, but do it a few more times and you may lose the plant.
As an example, during warm weather I water most of my plants once a week, sometimes twice. There is 90-110 degree heat and dry air.
Most of the cactus are watered only once per week.
The fleshy, soft succulents, like Sedum and Echeveria usually are watered twice a week.
If your climate is cooler or more humid, you will need to adjust your schedule accordingly.
How to Pot a Cactus Plant
Plants from your local nursery can live in the plastic or clay pots that they are growing in, but you might want to plant them in a pretty pot or make a dish garden.
If your plant arrived from mail order, they will likely be "bare root," meaning without soil–they should be potted immediately upon arrival. The following step-by-step instructions will get the job done.
If you are repotting, or potting a cactus and don't want to get stuck with those thorns, please keep reading–additional instructions follow.
Materials Required
- Bowl and a spoon for mixing
- Pots, your choice
- Newspaper
- Commercial potting soil mix (see note below)
- Pumice (Perlite may be substituted)
- Diatomaceous earth (optional Sciara Fly / Root Mealy Bug preventative)
- Gravel as a top dressing
- Water
The addition of pumice to the soil mix is possibly the best tip on this page–It improved my growing success 200%.
You may use a commercial cactus and succulent mix or regular potting soil. The mixes are usually high in peat, and in my experience, do not provide adequate drainage which is the reason for adding pumice. Before I was adding pumice, my success rate was much lower–this is one of my best tips for success.
The recipe that I provide here is for beginners to get started quickly with growing some of the more common cacti and succulents. If you would like to adjust your mix, Daiv Freeman at Cactiguide has written about various soil components.
Cactus Soil Recipe
- 1 cup Soil Mix (no added fertilizer)
- 1 cup Pumice (Perlite may be substituted)
- 1 tsp. Diatomaceous Earth (optional)
- Measure the ingredients.
- Place ingredients into a bowl.
- Mix the soil components thoroughly.
Soil Ingredients – at Your Local Garden Center – or Online
Some of you may not be familiar with diatomaceous earth and perhaps the other ingredients. Here's what I'd buy. Products and gardening tools are from Amazon.
The first three items are your soil components. Diatomaceous earth is a preventative for root mealy bugs and Sciara fly larvae and is optional. The gravel is for a top dressing, helps retain moisture and looks nice.
When To Repot
Normally, if you have a plant that is too big for its pot, it's growing over the edges, doesn't drain, roots are protruding from the drainage holes, then it is time for repotting. Often repotting stimulates plant growth and makes not only the plant quite happy, and it thrives.
Usually you can plan on repotting every two years or so, or when the root growth dictates. Many slow-growing rare plants may be in a pot for 5 years or more.
The photo shows an extreme case of the need for repotting. This plant is Euphorbia milli, which possesses many thorns similar to some cacti–it is the plant in the repotting demo, where I will show you how to handle any thorny plant or cactus. Knocked over several times by my cats, it lost its gravel and top soil.
Don't get stuck when potting cacti and thorny succulents. Wrap a newspaper handle around the plant to lift it into its new pot.
One of the few plants that I consider hard to kill, it survived 3 months without water. Part of it died at one point, and I was debating throwing it away and forgot about it in the corner of my patio. The plant was determined to survive and has come back, looking pretty good. Now that it has been repotted, it will soon show increased new growth.
Cactus Growing Kits
A friend brought me back one of these on a trip to Arizona–it was Saguaro cacti seeds kit. At that time, I had never grown cacti or succulents from seed before and it was extremely exciting to see them germinate and grow into a real cactus plant on my windowsill. See photo under "How to Pot a Succulent Plant" above.
I recommend this for everyone, kids and kids at heart. If someone gave me one of these again, I'd still be excited.
Now, Go Out and Grow Some Beautiful Cacti and Succulents!
I hope you've found this guide helpful. Feel free to leave your cacti and succulent questions in the Comments section below. I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge.
Don't forget to read my other Succulent pages, especially the one on Haworthia, which are perfect plants for beginners.

First word? butternut squash. Ah, yes.... that simple word. So very similar to those examples I suggested.
The next word he chose was toothpicks.
He's working on word three now. Can't wait to see what he'll come up with!
In other news, Audra has recently discovered crayons. She loves to color with them. Everywhere. This morning so far she's colored on the dry erase board, the table, the floor, in Isaac's school book, on Isaac's wooden alphabet letters, and in two books. (In addition to the myriad of places I have not yet stumbled upon, I am sure.) Fortunately for her, she is very, very cute and is always very "sowwy".

The 54-story building is located on the west bank of the Chicago River's south branch in a major area of the city, where each of the three branches of the river intersect, known as the Confluence.
The name of the building derives from its unique shape. If viewed from the north or south side, its figure represents a pencil that barely touches the surface of the ground. The fact that this small base can support the mass of such a structure is the amazing feature of the construction. The determination of the contractors to accomplish this attempt, against the odds, impressed the judges of the Building Team Awards that honored the Pencil Building with the 2017 only Platinum Award.
John O'Donnell, CEO of Riverside Investment & Development, acquired the holding about 7 years ago. The site was confined on its east and west side and moreover, the city seized a 9 meter slice to support the growing Chicago Riverwalk. That left O'Donnell with a 12-meter-wide zone to host a 587 m2 base.
The construction of the building was very challenging. In order to gain space, the team built a deck over the tracks of Chicago's railway. Normally, the deck would have been supported by belled caissons. However, this method was not efficient. Caissons require a large drill and, in this particular area, digging produces a lot of spoils that must be removed. Moreover, pile driving could be conducted during a limited time frame in the night. Therefore, this solution was excluded and a "micropile" foundation system was approved. This method included the utilization of more than a hundred 24-cm diameter piles that produced no spoils. The micropiles, with a bearing capacity of about 2700kN, are the strongest piles even installed between the tracks of Chicago. The foundation of the tower included the construction of 16 caissons, 3 meter in diameter, that were drilled 1,80 meters into the ground.
The Building Team, led by Clark Construction Group, architect Goettsch Partners, and structural engineer Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA), in consultation with geotechnical consultant GEI, utilized their knowledge on narrow foundations to create a 4-story steel base to support the 8530 m2 floors of the tower. In order to achieve the attempt, the team decided to use the river as a floating base for the large crane that was needed. "We decided to view the river not as a liability, but as an asset. We said, let's put the crane on the river, and let's make it the biggest crane possible," said Clark Construction's Project Executive, Chris Phares.
The construction is designed to resist strong winds and address oscillation issues, especially in higher levels. Building's core was reinforced with high-strength ad high-stiffness concrete. Another feature that the team introduced is a system of 12 tanks filled with water, separated in groups of 3, that act as a liquid-sloshing damper. When the building was complete, MKA estimated that the most effective height of the water was slightly less than designed. "Now the tanks are really in tune with how the building behaves in the wind," said MKA's Robert Chmielowski.

The Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce held its Installation Banquet and Small Business of the Year awards on Monday, Nov. 6, and there were uniformed law enforcement officers, firefighters and other first responders in the crowd.
The reason became clear when Judy Rupp, of the Rotary Club of Anna Maria Island, announced the winners of their annual Businessperson of the Year award.
She spoke about how visitors, residents and businesspeople feel safe on the Island.
"This feeling of security that we all enjoy is not accidental," Rupp said. "We have agencies that keep us, our visitors and our property safe.
"During Hurricane Irma, the Island was shut down to protect homes, businesses and property from looting, fire and theft," she added. "We are fortunate to have emergency rescue right here on the Island with lifesaving skills to treat us and get us where we need to be. Our waters are patrolled for the safety of all."
After introducing the law enforcement department and fire and safety personnel, Rupp said, "These agencies are our Rotary Businesspersons of the Year, our Anna Maria Island First Responders. Thank you for all you do."
After the dinner ended, Chamber President Deb Wing presented the Chamber Board of Directors and the team that chose the winners of the Chamber Small Business of the Year awards for three sizes: 1 to 5 employees; 6 to 15 employees and more than 15 employees.
In the small category, Grooms Motors, Advanced Insurance Brokerage, Sugar Beach Digital, The Hive Creations, AMI Health and Fitness were runners-up to Jen and Mark Bowman at Keller-Williams on the Water.
In the medium category, Island Vacation Properties was runner-up to Allegra Printing and Signs Now of Bradenton.
In the large category, Boyd Insurance was runner-up to Seafood Shack Marina, Bar and Grill.

The script processor executes Javascript code to process an event. The processor uses a pure Go implementation of ECMAScript 5.1 and has no external dependencies. This can be useful in situations where one of the other processors doesn't provide the functionality you need to filter events.
The processor can be configured by embedding Javascript in your configuration file or by pointing the processor at external file(s).
processors: - script: lang: javascript id: my_filter source: > function process(event) { event.Tag("js"); }
This loads
filter.js from disk.
processors: - script: lang: javascript id: my_filter file: ${path.config}/filter.js
Parameters can be passed to the script by adding
params to the config.
This allows for a script to be made reusable. When using
params the
code must define a
register(params) function to receive the parameters.
processors: - script: lang: javascript id: my_filter params: threshold: 15 source: > var params = {threshold: 42}; function register(scriptParams) { params = scriptParams; } function process(event) { if (event.Get("severity") < params.threshold) { event.Cancel(); } }
If the script defines a
test() function it will be invoked when the processor
is loaded. Any exceptions thrown will cause the processor to fail to load. This
can be used to make assertions about the behavior of the script.
function process(event) { if (event.Get("event.code") === 1102) { event.Put("event.action", "cleared"); } } function test() { var event = process(new Event({event: {code: 1102})); if (event.Get("event.action") !== "cleared") { throw "expected event.action === cleared"; } }

Against the current— The Mojave River from sink to source: The 2018 Desert Symposium field trip road log
- Document: Document
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
The Mojave River evolved over the past few million years by "fill and spill" from upper basins near its source in the Transverse Ranges to lower basins. Each newly "spilled into" basin in the series? sustained a long-lived lake but gradually filled with Mojave River sediment, leading to spill to a yet lower elevation? basin. The Mojave River currently terminates at Silver Lake, near Baker, CA, but previously overflowed this terminus onward to Lake Manly in Death Valley during the last glacial cycle. The river's origin and evolution are intricately interwoven with tectonic, climatic, and geomorphic processes through time, beginning with San Andreas fault interactions that created a mountain range across a former externally draining river. We will see and discuss the Mojave River's predecessor streams and basins, its evolution as it lengthened to reach the central Mojave Desert, local and regional tectonic controls, groundwater flow, flood history, and support of isolated perennial stream reaches that host endemic species. In association with these subjects are supporting studies such as paleoclimate records, location and timing for groundwater and wetlands in the central Mojave Desert, and effects of modern water usage. The trip introduces new findings for the groundwater basin of Hinkley Valley, including an ongoing remediation project that provides a wealth of information on past and present river flow and associated development of the groundwater system.

On the feasibility of using measured sea clutter continuum in HFSWR to validate modelled ground-wave propagation attenuation in rough sea
- Authors

- Abstract
- This report presents the results of an investigation on the feasibility of using the sea clutter continuum between the Bragg lines of monostatic HF Surface Wave Radar (HFSWR) to validate the ground-wave propagation attenuation model for rough sea, based on Barrick's formulation. The proposed validation is based on a comparison between the measured and modelled sea clutter levels from a variety of sea states over a range interval approximately between 63 and 200 km. The sea state in the interval was roughly indicated by the significant wave height measured at the far side of the radar coverage. The measured sea clutter is estimated from the median of the averaged power levels between the Bragg lines over a selected number of radar dwells in a moving window. The modelled sea clutter attenuation is then obtained by calibrating the modelled ground-wave propagation attenuation to the median sea clutter from a selected range bin in the near side of the chosen interval. The steadiness of the sea state in the selected range bin was closely monitored by the variation of the median from that range. If this median is deemed to be steady over the duration of the moving window, then the radar data segment is chosen for the investigation. The results show that the measured and modelled sea clutter attenuations agree well over the chosen interval in four different sea states at two radar frequencies. The validation is also compared with that using a dedicated ship target. It is found that

Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.

The design of the Lauf forks is based around eliminating all "moving parts", and therefore, friction and maintenance. You can ride without worries through sand, salt, desserts and ice - the performance will stay the same.
29" / 27.5+
The TR Boost takes both 29" wheels and 27.5+ wheels as they share the same diameter, roughly.
29x2.8" / 27.5x3.0"
Put a 27.5+ 3" tire under for more grip and playfulness or go for slightly larger 29" tires (in diameter) for a more racy setup. It's always good practice to double check the fit beforehand.
60mm / 2.35"
This is the sweet spot for our forks. Since the travel is fairly short and progressive, we don't need damping. That makes the fork a lot simpler and maintenance free.
1.000g / 2.2 lbs
The Trail Racer fork is very light when compared to other XC suspension forks. It makes the whole front end of the bike more agile on technical climbs. Be prepared to lift your front wheel over rocks instead of navigating past.
The low unsprung weight is one of the design elements that makes this fork extremely good at tracking small bumps and chatter which gives you great traction and isolates you from vibration.
Regular (over 65kg riders) / Light (under 70kg riders)
This should be used as a reference. If you're an aggressive rider it's likely that you'd prefer the "Regular" stiffness, even though you weigh less than 70kg. You won't lose any of the small bump compliance.
110kg / 243lbs
This should be your weight in race gear.
15mm Lauf Thru Axle (M15x1.5)
We supply all forks with our own axles. We made a lightweight low profile axle which requires a 6mm allen key. If you prefer a lever, you can replace it with e.g. the RockShox Maxle.
The TR Boost uses boost hub spacing (110mm). You can use a spacer kit to use a non-boost hub, but to fully take advantage of the boost technology you should use a boost hub.
Goes hand in hand with our Axle to Crown length. This fork is designed to "trail" the same as a 80-100 mm suspension fork.
It's designed to replace a 100mm XC fork. When you take sag into account on a normal telescopic fork, the axle to crown length is roughly the same.
Tapered 1-1/8" - 1-1/2" (uncut length 250mm)
It's also possible to fit our forks on bikes that have an oversized headtube (44mm). In order for the fork to fit the lower bearing needs to be changed to a 1.5".
180mm is minimum but if you prefer a larger rotor a spacer can be used.

ABI comments on flood investment plans
Commenting on the announcement, in today's Spending Review, on flood defence investment, Nick Starling, the ABI's Director of General Insurance and Health said:
"The Government is right to recognise the importance of continued investment in flood defences. But we are disappointed that this will not be maintained at current levels, given the scale of the problem and the wider economic benefits provided by flood defences to our communities and businesses.
"We urgently need a long-term plan to tackle the rising flood risk this country faces over the next 25 years, especially as the Statement of Principles on Flood Insurance comes to an end in 2013.
"In the last spending review, the previous Government committed to £2.15 billion for three years 2008 - 2011. Today, the Government committed £2 billion over four years 2011- 2015".

2. The UK insurance industry is the third largest in the world and the largest in Europe. It is a vital part of the UK economy, managing investments amounting to 24% of the UK's total net worth and contributing the fourth highest corporation tax of any sector. Employing over 275,000 people in the UK alone, the insurance industry is also one of this country's major exporters, with a fifth of its net premium income coming from overseas business. Insurance helps individuals and businesses protect themselves against the everyday risks they face, enabling people to own homes, travel overseas, provide for a financially secure future and run businesses. Insurance underpins a healthy and prosperous society, enabling businesses and individuals to thrive, safe in the knowledge that problems can be handled and risks carefully managed. Every day, our members pay out £155 million in benefits to pensioners and long - term savers as well as £58 million in general insurance claims.
