Black Deer Festival complete's their Inaugural Line Up!
Already boasting a remarkable lineup featuring the very best Americana & Country acts from around the world, Black Deer Festival is delighted to reveal that Catherine McGrath, Wallis Bird, Colin Macleod, Josh OKeefe, Jeannine Barry, Keywest, Marc O'Reilly, Dan Clews, Thomas Wynn & The Believers, Cattle & Cane, Carousel and more will join the likes of headlinersIron & Wine and Passenger, as well as Ward Thomas, double Grammy and AMA UK award winner Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Kiefer Sutherland,Ashley Campbell and many more stunning names for the festival's inaugural year.
Black Deer Festival is a totally independent festival headed up by two women Promoters with years of experience in the festival industry and is set to take place in the wondrous natural outdoor location of Eridge Park, Britain's oldest deer park located on the Kent/East Sussex border near Royal Tunbridge Wells – just a mere 50 minutes outside of London. In an exuberant showcase of Americana, blues, roots, authentic country, folk and bluegrass genres, Black Deer Festival will immerse attendees in the alternative lifestyle with authentic Americana-style meats, smokey whiskeys, bespoke custom motorcycle showcases and rooted storytellings from cultural pioneers, cementing itself as the UK's newest favourite Americana & country festival and one not to be missed.
With a foot on either side of the Atlantic, Irish pop country newcomer Catherine McGrath will be joining Black Deer's exciting line-up on her way to taking the world by storm. Her debut EP One was a major success taking inspiration from Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Kelsea Ballerini amongst other. The twenty-year-old has already made her mark in the industry, going from singing covers in her bedroom to writing with some of Nashville's finest. With her much anticipated debut album set to drop on July 27th, she figures on all lists of artists to watch in 2018.
Catherine McGrath says;
"I can't wait to play Black Deer festival, it's got such a great lineup so I'm excited to catch their sets and to play my own songs to some brand new faces too!"
Colin Macleod will be bringing a taste of life on a British island to Eridge Park. Growing up on the Isle of Lewis, MacLeod alongside super-producer Ethan Johns, make music that does not let you forget where he comes from. The result is very reminiscent of what Bruce Springsteen would have sounded like if he had grown up in the fringes of Scotland. His atmospheric melodies and powerful instrumentals are sure to dazzle at Black Deer.
Waving the flag for folk rock in this new announcement is Dan Clews. The British singer songwriter was noticed by Sir George Martin who dubbed him "too great a talent to be ignored", a fact that surprised no one after the release of his first solo album full of Beatlesque melodies, acoustic guitars and lyrics about love and longing. It received support from Radio 2's country tastemaker Bob Harris as well as favorable reviews from the music press. 2014 saw he Kent-born singer support his second album on as Glastonbury stage cementing his place in the industry.
On playing Black Deer, Dan Clews says;
"From top to bottom this line up is pure gold and I'm stoked to be a part of it. I'm looking forward to putting on a killer show, seeing some of my favourite acts and discovering some new favourites too."
The underdogs and underappreciated American band Thomas Wynn & The Believers will be bringing their own brand of classic rock to Eridge Park this year. The 6 piece band from Orlando will be performing their new album Wade Waist Deep, a true depiction of what great American music sounds like. Lead singer Thomas and sister Olivia Wynn will showcase their trademark breathtaking duets, accompanied by grinding guitars and lyrics boasting hope for a better life, bringing their perfectly unpolished sound to Black Deer.
Thomas Wynn & The Believers says;
"We're so excited and honored to play the inaugural Black Deer Festival. The lineup looks fantastic and we're sure it's gonna be one helluvah time! Hope to see y'all there for many years to come."
Also joining the Black Deer festival is the critically acclaimed English group Cattle & Cane. The band that likes to keep it in the family is comprised of four Hammill siblings Joseph and Helen on vocals, Fran on guitar and Vim on Bass, as well as honorary family member Tom Chapman on drums. They will be bringing their fresh and exciting take on modern folk music. Only two albums in and this family affair already has had an impressive musical career having played at T in the Park, Hyde Park for Radio 2, for whom they recorder a live session, and shared stages with the likes of Brian Wilson, The Head & The Heart as well as Tom Odell.
Bringing a mix of folk and country with a healthy dose of 60's psychedelia is the critically acclaimed singer songwriter Jamie Freeman. Hailed as the "UK's very own Americana virtuoso" by Spiral Earth, Freeman will be delivering his roots-rock anthems to the eagerly awaiting Black Deer crowd.
Jamie Freeman says;
"The Black Deer line-up looks incredible. There are some amazing headliners but right across the board it's a great mix of Americana and country artists and it's an honour to be part of it. I'll have lots of new material to play as I'll be heading to Nashville to record my next album later in the summer. Eridge Park is beautiful too, and I definitely plan to stay for the whole weekend!"
Catherine McGrath, Wallis Bird, Colin Macleod, Josh OKeefe, Keywest, The Graveltones, Dan Clews, Thomas Wynn & The Believers, Jeannine Barry, Marc O'Reilly, Treetop Flyers, The Adelaides, Cattle & Cane, Bad Day Blues Band, Dana Immanuel And The Stolen Band, Johnny Cage And The Voodoogroove, Michael Baker, Up, Down, Go Machine, Carousel, Jamie Freeman, My Fine Companions, Devil's Rope and The Orange Circus Band.
On performing at Black Deer, Nick Kidney of My Fine Companions says:
"We're really excited to be playing the inaugural Black Deer festival. As a relatively new band, this is a great opportunity for us to be bringing our music to a group of like-minded people ina such fantastic setting; what could be better?"
Jeannine Barry says;
'I'm honoured to be joining Black Deer's incredible line up and to be part of this exciting new festival. I'm looking forward to an amazing weekend full of Country & Americana.' –
Treetop Flyers say;
'Last year we didn't play any festivals, so as soon as the line up for Black Deer was announced we knew we wanted to play, it's the perfect festival for us, and good timing before our new album drops in August, can't wait!'
Michael Baker says;
"The band andi cannot wait to play at the inaugural Black Deer Festival. It's such an honour to be invited to perform on such a prestigious line -up which includes one of my fav acts, the brilliant Iron & Wine.I will be playing new unreleased music from my forthcoming Pledge Music funded album 'Salt' as well as some tracks of my current album Dust & Bone"
Josh Okeefe says;
"I will be bringing a little Nashville and a little Appalachia over in my suitcase and I will have it ready for The Black Deer Festival"
The Orange Circus Band say;
"We're extremely excited to be playing this year's Black Deer festival, an event showcasing real Americana and Country music in the UK. We're also looking forward to be playing amongst our friends from around the globe, and of course getting our feet dirty with some good ol' muddy foot stomping! We're coming for you, Black Deer!"
Keywest says;
"We're excited to come back to the U.K. for Black Deer this summer and are looking forward to being a part of the launch of this new festival!"
Johnny Cage And The Voodoogrove says;
"We cannot wait to play the inaugural black deer festival, the line up has us salivating, and we get to share ourboneshaking voodooblues with you all as well. Bring it on!"

Wife of the President, Hajia Aisha Buhari, has called on international agencies for more collaborative efforts to reduce the country's malnutrition and maternal/new born deaths even as she praised the agencies for the various support they have been providing for the country.
She however said except vigorous efforts are made collectively, the goal might remain a mirage.
Mrs Buhari's recent intervention and support for many nursing mothers across the country, especially those in rural areas, point to the fact that she is not leaving anything to chance at ensuring that the plight of women and children is attended to by the present government.
Mrs Buhari is already giving the needed support to reproductive, maternal, newborn child and adolescent health, as well as improving nutritional standards in the country even as she is extending a hand of help to these mothers who sometimes are ignorant of the nutritional needs of their children.
According to her, Nigeria accounts for the highest number of internally displaced persons on the continent with more than three million in various camps and places spread across the country.

Do you fancy a role in the property industry, but aren't sure which particular position you'd like? It's certainly an exciting and fast-moving industry, and there are plenty of different roles to choose from.
From developing a property from scratch to managing a portfolio of apartments, and even designing the interior of a show home, we've listed some of the most common jobs within the industry, along with what you can expect to get paid for your time in the role:
Estate Agent (senior) – £18-25K (basic)
This is typically an office-based, 5-day week position, where you'll usually be expected to work one weekend (with a corresponding week day off in lieu).
The role includes valuing period houses and new developments (depending on where you're based) and creating good relationships with local developers and landlords. Knowledge of successful sales negotiations is also very valuable.
Property Accountant – £26-32K
As a property accountant, you'll be responsible for producing the likes of 'actual and budget' comparison sheets, as well as squaring profit & loss accounts. Other roles include responding to tenant's financial queries, meeting with asset managers and attending site meetings on occasion.
Property Lettings Manager – £32
You could be working in an online or on-site property consultancy and handling a portfolio of residential properties. A typical property manager is responsible for ensuring maintenance issues are resolved quickly, as well as making sure the properties themselves comply with any legislative changes. Generally making sure properties, tenants and clients are happy with how things are running.
Interior Designer (property development) – £37K
An interior designer will be expected to showcase a home in the development to a very high standard in order to impress buyers. She or he will source and layout furniture – together with fixtures and fittings – with a particular budget and time scale. The designer will be expected to be able to furnish the apartment/home to appeal to a particular market segment. They will also be expected to produce example designs using CAD, Photoshop, InDesign and other relevant software packages.
Project Management (property development) – £47K
As an engineer, you will support key phases of the property development, especially the infrastructure, layout and utilities. The role includes dealing with, and monitoring, work by external consultants and well as providing support to the building teams during construction. Support with road and sewer management following construction is also usually part of the role. Performance payment can often be part of the salary package too.
Property Sourcer – £100K (average)
Property sourcing is a lucrative business. Property sourcers, source, package and sell investment properties to investors. There is also the opportunity to be involved in joint ventures with investors in return for a share of the profits. This can be especially lucrative on small to medium developments.
As you can see from the above, property sourcing is the job where you can earn the most cash. It's also incredibly satisfying being able to find exactly the right property for your clients and vice versa.
Another plus point is that it's not office-based, and with a Sourced franchise you don't require staff or have overheads of a place of work. As far as some of the sourcers here are concerned, it doesn't even feel like a job!

Observe a Few Simple Things of Great Importance.
27 July 1850, Sydney Morning Herald
Fresh air is needful for your health.
As often as you can open all your windows, if only for a short time, in bad weather; in fine weather - keep them open, but never sit in draughts.
When you get up open the windows wide, and throw down the bed clothes that they may be exposed to fresh air some hours daily before they are made up.
Keep your bed clothes clean; hang them to the fire when you can. Avoid wearing at night what you wear in the day.
Pure water is needful for your health. Wash your bodies as well as your face, rubbing them all over with a coarse cloth. If you can-not wash thus every morning, pray do so once a week.
Get rid of all slops and dirty water at once, but do not throw them out before your doors ; and never suffer dead cabbage leaves or dirt of any kind lo remain there.
All these poison the air and bring fevers. All bad smells are poison: never rest with them.
Keep your back yards clean.
Pigsties are very injurious; slaughter-houses are equally hurtful; the smells from both excite typhus fever, and cause ill health.
Wash your rooms and passages at least once a week, use plenty of clean water, but do not let your children stay in them while they are wet, it may bring on croup or inflammation of the chest. It is a good old saying that "cleanliness is next to godliness."
Wholesome food is needful for your health.
Buy the most strengthening. Pieces of fresh beef and mutton go the farthest. Eat plenty of fresh salt with food, it prevents the cholera.
Pray do not let your children waste their half-pence in tarts, cakes, sour fruit, &c, they are very unwholesome, and hurt the digestion. People would often, at twenty years of age, have a "nice little sum of money to help them on in the world if they had put in the provident society the money so wasted.
Cocoa is cheaper and much more nourishing than tea. None of these liquids should be taken hot, but lukewarm; when hot they inflame the stomach and produce indigestion.
Beer, when genuine, and not acid, is wholesome, especially for the hard-working people, provided it be taken sparingly: when taken in excess it is very injurious. Spirits are an absolute poison, destructive alike to the body and the soul. Pray abstain from them altogether. Money saved from drink will help to educate your children and make your homes happier.
We are all made to breathe the pure air of heaven, and therefore much illness is caused by being constantly in doors, this is especially the case with mothers of families, young milliners, ironers, shoemakers, tailors, &c. Let such persons make a point, whenever it is possible, of taking exercise in the open air for at least an hour and a half daily. Time would be saved in the long run, by the increased energy and strength gained, and by the warding off disease.
Be sure to get your children vaccinated, between the third and six month after birth, before teething begins, and when they are in a good state of health for it. This would save a great many lives. Wash, and rub them well when washed.
On no account give your children laudanum, or any kind of sleeping medicine; numbers are killed by it.
Whenever any of you are taken ill, apply at once (delays are dangerous) to some well known medical man. Do not attempt to prescribe for yourselves.
Should it please an all-wise providence to remove any of your friends by death, let not the living occupy the same room with the dead. Attend carefully to the thorough ventilation, of the whole house, use chloride of lime powder and water for sprinkling the rooms and linen, and bury without needless delay.

Native American Arts and Culture Festival
October 26, 2017
While many students would not consider participating in a traditional Native American "snake dance" alongside colorfully adorned members of indigenous communities a typical way to spend their Saturday afternoon, this year's annual Native American Arts and Culture Festival provided exactly that opportunity. Organized by Director of the Native American Studies Program and Associate Professor of Native American Studies Carol Ann Lorenz, the free fair took place from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 21 in the Sanford Field House.
For the past fifteen years the Native American Studies program, with cooperation from Native American Student Allies, has organized the fair to expose eager attendees to the culture and traditions of indigenous peoples from North, Central and South America as well as members of the Haudenosaunee Nation, otherwise known as the Iroquois. This year, support from the Upstate Institute, Core Communities and Identities, Sociology and Anthropology Department, ALANA Cultural Center and the Longyear Museum of Anthropology helped pull the fair together.
Throughout the day, a variety of traditional music and dance performances occurred on stage including a traditional flute music performance and an interactive display of social Iroquois dances that involved bolder members of the audience. Meanwhile throughout the building, vendors displayed and sold everything from native lacrosse sticks to beaded jewelry, tan hides, weaponry and native medicines.
In the crowd, students, professors, members of the Hamilton community and children enjoyed the various displays and activities. The inclusive nature of the fair included a section for children's activities that offered the opportunity to create a beaded bracelet or decorate cloth pouches and paper canoes. Starting at 12:15 p.m., pottery, basket weaving, silver working and stone carving demonstrations drew in crowds of all ages as well.
The entirety of attendees also enjoyed Hamilton Eatery's new role as the "Iroquois Eatery," which offered buffalo burgers, venison and elk sausage, Indian tacos, corn soup, taco salad and buffalo chilli among others relevant items.
Before the various performances, which included flutist Dan Hill, Haudenosaunee Singers and Dancers, folk music and dance group Tahuantinsuyo, singer Darryl Tonemah and Bolivian ensemble Música de Maestros, explanations were often given explaining the cultural significance of the display. For instance, giving thanks for everything available in natural surroundings was stressed as a significant part of native life before a chicken dance ensued.
Senior Sabrina Farmer heard about the event through a professor who works with the Bolivian group that performed.
"I am always into coming to these fairs where they have a lot of crafts. They're native crafts and they're obviously for sale, but I don't know if I'm meant to wear them because often it feels like cultural appropriation if they're something native. I've had a couple of interesting conversations with women at the booths about it," Farmer said.
Several vendors spoke on the issue and essentially pointed out that items such as tan hides have been sold as leather for generations in every different culture, so the items can belong to attendees, too.
"I feel like people can learn a lot from talking to people here. When people come and look at the stuff without talking to anyone, it's a loss of what they could learn," Farmer added.
Mohawk Alicia Cook has been attending the event since its founding fifteen years ago. Cook enjoys sharing her family's medicines and the manner in which they harvest plants and perform rituals with the 1,000 to 1,500 attendees that stroll through the fair throughout the day.
"It's sort of dying so it's always good to share the culture," she said. Her table displayed beaded jewelry, antlers, medicines, bones and wood carvings.
The event came together largely through the efforts of the Native American Student Association (NASA), which funds several of the performances. Two of the three Native American majors on campus, junior Ronald Cupitt and senior Sierra Sunshine, helped run a booth by the door to provide information to visitors. After all of the officers of the organization graduated last year, they were glad the new leadership successfully ran this year's event.
"It's gone really well. The past couple of years it's been really rainy and cold. It's kind of nice that people are coming in not cold and miserable,' Sunshine said.
Ultimately, with the Iroquois originating in upstate New York, an event that highlighted the distinct culture of Native American peoples from several continents and endless states proved incredibly relevant and worthwhile to the Colgate community.

© 1995 Michael Crichton
431 pages
"'Ooh, aah'. That's always how it starts. Then later there's the running and the screaming." - Dr. Ian Malcolm, The Lost World
In the 1980s, a biocompany called InGen discovered a way to isolate dinosaur DNA and patented a cloning process intended to bring the dead back to life. Majestic and fearsome beasts who once ruled the Earth were resurrected in laboratories, intended to be the featured attractions of a resort park intended to amuse their successors -- humanity. The park's first visitors -- including paleontologists, a lawyer, and a chaos theorist named Ian Malcolm -- witness the catastrophic failure of the park's systems within hours of spotting their first dinosaur. The park died amidst intrigues from a rival biocompany (BioSyn) and nature's fury -- though Malcolm would insist that so complex a system was doomed from its beginnings. The Costa Rican military and InGen are eager to destroy all evidence of the failed project, but they're not as thorough as they ought to have been -- for now, five years later, corpses from another epoch are washing up on the beaches of Pacific islands.
The Lost World follows the same basic pattern as Jurassic Park: evidence of dinosaurs appears to people who have no idea the park existed, the evidence trickles down to our primary characters, they visit the island and have a "WHOA! Dinosaurs!" moment, and then a deadly pandemonium ensues: the lead characters run around the island losing equipment, sanity, and friends while Dr. Malcolm lectures. In The Lost World, Malcolm applies chaos theory to the efforts by paleontologists to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. The familiar pattern does not distract from the book: dinosaurs are a powerfully interesting subject, and as the characters talk about various species in an attempt to reason out the best way to escape, the reader is treated to mini-lectures compiling modern dinosaur research from scientists like Jack Horner. In the last novel, Crichton seemingly honored Horner with a proxy character: in this, he acknowledges Horner directly. Crichton does drama well: his text is replete with foreboding descriptions and cliffhanging segments.
The Lost World is terrific fun -- lots of tension, and the dinosaur mini-lectures are certainty informative. Malcolm tends toward the anti-scientific at some points, but I suppose that's in-character for an eccentric iconoclast.

ACOG Wisconsin Section Opposes 20-Week Abortion Ban Bill
Washington, DC—The following is a statement from Kathy D. Hartke, MD, Chair of the Wisconsin Section of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG):
"ACOG Wisconsin strongly opposes legislative attempts to ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation and urges Wisconsin lawmakers to reject proposals that attempt to do so. This bill, if passed, would represent a blow to women's access to needed reproductive services. The clear consensus by leading medical groups is that a 20-week ban on abortion would interfere with the physician-patient relationship at a time when women are in need of empathetic, respectful care. These medical decisions should be made solely by each individual woman in consultation with those she trusts the most, including her obstetrician-gynecologist – not state politicians.
"Robust evidence has thoroughly discredited arguments used to support this proposed ban; these arguments are biased, not grounded in science.
"As an obstetrician-gynecologist, I have firsthand experience treating women who are confronting the potential need for a second trimester abortion. I have witnessed the many heartbreaking, painful and frightening reasons why women need abortion care after 20 weeks. Yet this ban would force physicians to deny services even to women who have made the difficult decision to end pregnancies for reasons including fetal anomalies diagnosed only later in pregnancy or threat to a mother's life. Because many of these problems emerge or worsen later in pregnancy, a 20-week ban would leave almost all women without appropriate treatment options. In addition, threatening doctors with jail time for providing clinically appropriate care violates the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship, and is just wrong.
"Without question, criminalizing abortion only serves to jeopardize patient safety. Research and experience have shown that where abortion is illegal or highly restricted, women resort to desperate, dangerous means to end an unwanted pregnancy. We must not impose restrictions that will encourage this to happen at home in Wisconsin. Furthermore, the passing of this law may force some women to consider termination of pregnancy before they have appropriate counseling due to the time constraints. There is as much, if not more, of a possibility that it could lead to providing abortions to women carrying fetuses with potentially treatable outcomes.
"Medical care must be guided by sound science and by the patient's individual needs – not by legislative mandates. Wisconsin's ob-gyns strongly oppose this bill, which would limit the ability of women to get the care that they need, when they need it."
A detailed discussion of the Wisconsin bill and the reasons why ACOG Wisconsin opposes it can be found here.
Representing 532 practicing ob-gyn physicians in the state, Wisconsin ACOG is a Section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Nation's leading group of physicians providing health care for women. As a private, voluntary, nonprofit membership organization of more than 58,000 members, The College strongly advocates for quality health care for women, maintains the highest standards of clinical practice and continuing education of its members, promotes patient education, and increases awareness among its members and the public of the changing issues facing women's health care. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a 501(c)(6) organization, is its companion organization. www.acog.org

We've all experienced the annoyance that is the mosquito. Unless you live in an area where it is cold year-round- and we all know that's not what Maryland is like- mosquitoes have been a part of your life.
They swarm around you when you go to any wooded location, make eating dinner outside nearly impossible, and can ruin an outdoor event in no time at all.
Although everyone knows how annoying mosquitoes can be, far fewer people are aware of the dangers they pose.
Are mosquitoes anything to worry about? Are they really dangerous or do people blow the threat of a mosquito bite out of proportion?
The following information should clear up any questions you might have about how dangerous it is to be bitten by a Maryland mosquito.
Although you'd be hard-pressed to find a person who isn't familiar with mosquitoes, they're such small insects that you probably haven't paid too much attention to what they actually look like.
Mosquitoes have long, thin, oval-shaped bodies. Their color can vary depending on the species of mosquito, but they often appear gray or brown.
Mosquitoes range in size from around ¼ to ½ an inch. They have two wings, six very thin, dangling legs, and two antennae.
Male antennae have a feathery appearance, while female antennae appear slightly less feathery and contain odor receptors to help find blood sources.
Male and female mosquitoes have different antennae adaptations because only female mosquitoes suck blood.
Both male and female mosquitoes eat sweet foods, such as honeydew, nectar, and plant sap.
However, the females require blood in order to reproduce because blood has a protein in it that allows female mosquitoes to lay their eggs.
So although it's common for people to talk about "hungry mosquitoes" when they're swarming around you, when mosquitoes bite, they're not really looking for a meal in the traditional sense.
The most interesting part of the mosquito is its mouthparts.
Even though it looks and feels like you've been pierced just once from a mosquito bite, in actuality, mosquitoes have six long, thin mouthparts called stylets, and all six of them pierce your skin to suck your blood.
The first thing to realize about mosquito bites is that anyone can get them and probably at some point in their life everyone will get at least one.
That said, mosquitoes do seem to have preferences when it comes to whom they bite.
You may have heard people joke that a particular person must be sweeter than everyone else because they always end up with far more mosquito bites than anyone else.
Although that's not exactly the case, it's not far off. Mosquitoes do prefer the blood of certain people.
It has been shown that the following people seem to be more attractive to mosquitoes:
⭐ Pregnant women.
⭐ People with Type O blood.
⭐ People who have been drinking alcohol.
⭐ People who are or just finished exercising.
⭐ People who are overweight.
⭐ People wearing dark colors.
⭐ People wearing floral-scented perfume or deodorant.
Although some of the reasons for these preferences are unknown, it is known that one of the ways that mosquitoes detect their targets is by the carbon dioxide their victims exhale.
This may be why pregnant women, people who have been exercising, and overweight people are more attractive to them.
People in these groups tend to breathe more heavily, thereby exhaling more carbon dioxide.
Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain colors and scents, which may explain why they target people wearing dark colors, people who have been drinking, and people wearing floral perfume.
Everyone knows how annoying it is to be bitten by a mosquito, but few people stop to worry or wonder about the dangers of being bitten by a Maryland mosquito.
Is it really that dangerous? Aren't the illnesses associated with mosquito bites a problem in other places, but not in the United States?
The short answer to all of these questions is that mosquitoes can be dangerous, even in Maryland. However, that's not a complete answer, so let's dive into more of the specifics.
Worldwide, the mosquito is the most dangerous and deadly animal alive. Although it seems hard to believe that something so small could be so dangerous, the fact is that over one million people die every year due to illnesses they contract from a mosquito bite.
Malaria is responsible for the majority of these deaths.
Although a couple of thousand cases of malaria are diagnosed in the United States each year, the vast majority of these cases can be traced back to travel in a country where malaria transmission occurs.
However, that doesn't mean that living in Maryland means you're out of the woods when it comes to the dangers of mosquito bites.
Although you probably don't have to worry about malaria unless you're doing some international travel, there are several diseases in the United States that mosquitoes transmit and that can be serious or even fatal.
West Nile virus is the most commonly contracted mosquito-borne disease in the United States. Most people who get it won't even realize they have it.
Those who do typically have mild symptoms that include fever, headache, and body aches. These symptoms usually appear anywhere from three days to two weeks after being infected.
In less than 1% of the cases of the West Nile virus, people develop severe symptoms.
These symptoms can include muscle weakness, seizures, paralysis, coma, or in even rarer cases, death.
Chikungunya is a rare, but serious disease spread by mosquitoes. Most people who contract it end up with symptoms, the most common of which are fever and joint pain.
These usually resolve within a week, but the joint pain can continue for months in some cases. Although death from chikungunya is rare, this disease can be serious and debilitating.
The good news is that if you contract it, you are unlikely to end up with it again.
The Zika virus caused quite a scare several years ago. Although it's rare in the United States, we still hear of reported cases each year.
For the vast majority of people, the Zika virus results in mild symptoms or no symptoms at all.
If one does experience symptoms, they include fever, muscle aches, headaches, and a rash. However, the real danger of the Zika virus is to the babies of pregnant women.
If a woman who is pregnant contracts the Zika virus, her unborn baby can end up with severe brain-related birth defects.
Eastern equine encephalitis is another rare but serious disease spread by mosquitoes. The danger of this disease is that it often results in neurological symptoms that can lead to death.
In fact, of all the people who end up with encephalitis due to this virus, about one-third of them will die. Symptoms of Eastern equine encephalitis include fever, malaise, muscle aches, and more.
If the virus affects the neurological system, it can cause symptoms like vomiting, seizures, and behavioral changes.
Once you understand the risk factors that come along with mosquito bites, it makes sense that you'll be even more motivated to avoid them.
Reducing the factors that attract mosquitoes, both around yourself and around your property, can help you avoid mosquito bites and the diseases that these bites can transmit.
The following tips can help you become less attractive to mosquitoes.
⭐ While outside, wear light-colored clothing.
⭐ Avoid drinking alcohol if you're planning to spend time outdoors.
⭐ Avoid spending time outdoors during the hours of dawn and dusk, since these are the times when mosquitoes are most active.
⭐ Wear a repellent with DEET when you have to be outside.
⭐ Wear long sleeves and pants if you have to spend time in an area with a lot of mosquito activity.
⭐ Remove areas of standing water on your property since these areas are where mosquitoes breed.
⭐ Keep the grass on your lawn trimmed low.
⭐ Consider planting shrubs and other plants that mosquitoes don't like, such as marigolds or lavender.
Taking preventative measures to avoid attracting mosquitoes is a good place to start when you want to avoid mosquito bites and the potential for illness.
However, most of the suggestions above will do nothing to actually remove mosquitoes from your property.
If you are serious about avoiding the problems associated with mosquitoes, you're going to have to take action that involves keeping the mosquito populations low on your Maryland property.
In order to reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property, you have to do two things:
⭐ You have to eliminate as many adult mosquitoes as possible on your property.
⭐ You have to eliminate as many breeding areas on your property as possible.
By doing these two things, you can get rid of most of the mature mosquitoes on your Maryland lawn while also making sure that new mosquitoes aren't hatching and developing into a future problem.
But how do you accomplish these two goals?
You can help prevent mosquitoes from breeding on your property by eliminating as many areas of standing water as possible.
This includes dumping out buckets, toys, or other items that collect water when it rains, keeping your gutters cleared of debris so they can't clog, and ensuring that your home and lawn have proper drainage installed.
However, taking these actions doesn't solve the problem of adult mosquitoes on your property.
It also doesn't take care of standing water that can't be removed from your property. In order to take care of these problems, the best course of action is to contact the professionals at American Pest.
At American Pest, we have nearly 100 years of experience solving Maryland's pest problems.
For mosquito control, we have perfected a three-step solution to protect your property from dangerous mosquitoes.
1. First, we inspect your property to identify the areas where mosquitoes breed and where adult mosquitoes live and spend their time during the day.
2. We then use a specialized misting system to treat your yard, paying careful attention to the areas where mosquitoes are most likely to rest and hide.
3. Finally, we treat the areas around your property where mosquitoes are most likely to breed.
Our mosquito control is a monthly service that is performed during peak mosquito season, which typically runs from April through September.
By providing you with monthly treatments, we can make sure that we greatly reduce the mosquito population on your Maryland property to protect the health of your family all season long.
We also offer one-time mosquito control treatments for special events.
If you have an outdoor event coming up, such as a graduation party, wedding, or cookout, and want to keep your guests comfortable and safe, contact us. We'll visit your property prior to the event to treat it and make sure the mosquito population is low on the day of the event.
For all your mosquito control needs, you can trust American Pest to keep your family happy and healthy. Contact us to schedule a service.

Ireland's decision to prioritise sevens and remove their best backs from the remainder of the Six Nations Championship could not have come at a worse time and is reflective of poor strategic decisions taken by the IRFU in recent years.
There has been much talk of records continuing to tumble in the women's game.
This weekend in Leicester, ticket sales have already surpassed the 15,000-mark, meaning this will be England's best crowd ever for a home Six Nations game and if there is a flurry in sales in the coming days, we could well see this game break the record for the best attended standalone women's test match.
But there is another record to be concerned about.
Twenty years ago, Ireland ran out in Worcester with a young and inexperienced team. They lost 79-0, a result that is still the highest margin of victory in the history of this fixture.
Ireland's squad selection this weekend, forced because the Irish women's sevens team is under pressure to qualify for a major tournament and so need game time alongside a desire not to be relegated from tthe World Series, means that it is not impossible that that margin of loss could be surpassed.
That is by no means an intention to degrade the ability of the players coming into the team to replace those who are instead preparing to play on the World Sevens Series, but simply an indication of where England and Ireland's respective 15s programmes are at.
England are beating first choice teams for fun, so an Ireland team with a largely brand-new backline, away from home, coming in cold – well this could be pretty ugly.
There must be significant disappointment by all those involved in selling and marketing the women's championship that this showpiece match, in front of a huge crowd and on free-to-air TV in both countries, will likely be a one-sided demolition.
It is surely hard to explain to current and would-be sponsors that the game's pinnacle tournament has seemingly been deprioritised by one of the leading countries involved, even if there is context to the decision.
The context is this.
Ireland are trying to do something that none of their closest rivals - Scotland, Wales and Italy – are, and that is have a competitive team on the sevens circuit while trying to also run a competitive national 15s team.
You could argue that it is frustrating for the IRFU therefore that they are now effectively being punished for attempting to compete on more than one front when others don't even try, but that would ignore the fact that strategic decisions they have made in the past, only now being unravelled, have contributed to a position where they simply do not have anywhere near the pool of talent to do so.
And it doesn't and did not have to be like this.
The letter written by current and former Irish 15s players last year spoke to many past failings of how the Irish game was being run, including the lack of any meaningful and dedicated pathways and resources to help build the country's talent pool.
Unsaid was a frustration with the continued prioritisation of a sevens game, largely funded by Sport Ireland, that was still being asked to back up the country's national 15s team, rather than focusing on identifying talent that would enable Ireland to attempt to operate separate playing pools, as most nations straddling both codes now are.
It's true of course that Ireland has a small playing base generally and that it is not easy to build talent pathways, but they could have at least tried.
Instead, they seemed to persist with a strategy of focusing on or prioritising sevens most of the time and 15s some of the time.
In the end neither programme has been able to flourish.
Ireland's failure to qualify for the 15s World Cup this year has been well covered, but for all their improvements, the Irish 7s team has also struggled, failing to qualify for the Olympic Games in Rio and Tokyo.
The IRFU now desperately need to show some return on investment, thus the removal of players this weekend in an attempt to ensure their players are match ready when they ideally head to Cape Town later this year. Even so the decision to prioritise Langford next weekend is a little puzzling, as there is nothing riding on the round and the team is almost certain to qualify for the World Cup given all of the spots available.
Either way, the players of both programmes have ultimately been done a disservice by the strategic decisions taken above their heads in recent years and it is only thanks to those who spoke up last year that Ireland will now have someone working permanently on sorting out their pathways and that dedicated work is now ongoing to build two sustainable programmes that can be successful.
Ireland now need to make another strategic decision. Use this summer's 15s tour to blood emerging backline talent and end their deep reliance on crossover players.
Sure, there will always be players who want to and at times can play both, but the women's game is moving on and Ireland must too.

It's become a bit of a jokey cliche over the past few weeks, but Chelsea face yet another toughest test this weekend as West Brom come to town for a high noon showdown on Sunday. Unfortunately, there is some substance to this, as West Brom, who are annoying even when playing badly, are in a good moment, as are our midweek opponents Sunderland coming up after.
Having passed toughest tests against Southampton, Manchester United, Spurs, Manchester City, and others, Chelsea have now won eight league games in a row. The true toughest tests now become things such as complacency, overconfidence, burnout. Every next game in the winning streak is the toughest match.
Chelsea start the weekend with a three-point lead at the top of the table over Arsenal, who play Stoke City at home on Saturday. Manchester City have the late game today, while Liverpool have the late game on Sunday. None of the top four can afford dropped points. It's thus imperative that Chelsea get all three in this one.
Date / Time: Sunday, December 11, 2016, 12:00 GMT; 7am EST; 5:30pm IST
Venue: Stamford Bridge, SW6
Referee: Mike Dean — the career leader in Chelsea games refereed, Dean will take charge of his 62nd Chelsea match on Sunday. Last time we saw him we lost 3-0 to Manchester City at the Bridge in April.
Forecast: Mild but chance of heavy showers
On TV: BT Sport 1 (UK): NBCSN (USA); Star Sports Select HD1 (India); elsewhere
Online: BT Sport Live (UK); NBC Sports Live Extra (USA); Star Sports
Chelsea team news: Chelsea made a change to the starting lineup for the first time in seven games last weekend, but whether Conte will give Fàbregas another start or Willian an expanded role remains to be seen. John Terry (injury) and Oscar (illness) are confirmed out, but the biggest concern is the availability of David Luiz, who's been trying to recover from Sergio Aguero's moment of madness all week long. Everyone else should be good to go.
After two+ months, the rest of the Premier League are starting to figure out how to combat the 3-4-3. We are likely to persist with it until it stops working.
West Brom team news: Saido Berahino is the one major, long-term injury for the Baggies. The exciting young forward has been back in training in some capacity, but is nowhere near ready to play.
After winning just two games in the first two months of the season in all competitions, West Brom have won three of their last four games and are in a rather lofty seventh, just one point behind Manchester United. For more on the Baggies and Tony Pulis, be sure to read Rob's hilarious opposition analysis.
Previously: Here's what happened last time, as the teams split the points at the Bridge at the start of this calendar year.

You're all set to become a rock star. You're in the right mindset, have a chord chart, and have been listening to all of your favorites solo right in the middle of a song. The only problem? You don't have an electric guitar.
Will you actually be any good? You'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, you can shop deals on electric guitars at Alamo Music Center to get started. Find discounts on both electric and acoustic electric models from Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Taylor and more top-tier guitar manufacturers.
How Does an Electric Guitar Work?
First things first: If you're looking for deals on electric guitars, you should also think about purchasing an amplifier, and we'll explain why.
By itself, an electric guitar can produce a tone, but it's significantly limited. With an amplifier, the sound is louder, and not only that, you'll be able to sustain notes just like your favorite rock stars do.
Like acoustic guitars, electric models start with a wooden body. Although certain models are hollow, most have solid bodies, which assist with reducing feedback from the amplifier.
Regardless of design, the pickup is one of the most essential components on an electric guitar. Plucking causes the strings to vibrate, and when this occurs, the pickup sends an electrical signal over the cable, through a process known as electromagnetic induction, to the amplifier.
While the amplifier has its own process for creating a tone, the voltage passing through helps your instrument get heard. From here, you can make adjustments and add other effects.
If your mind is set on an electric acoustic guitar, understand that the process is nearly identical. Although electric acoustic guitars can be played by themselves - and sound like their fully acoustic counterparts - a built-in pickup helps transmit a signal to an amplifier when you'd like more volume and tonal possibilities.
Find Some of the Best Deals on Electric Guitars
Get top-quality instruments at rock-bottom prices! Whether you're looking for a Telecaster, Stratocaster or a Jazzmaster, browse our expansive selection of electric and acoustic electric guitars, and see what deals you can find. We offer multiple financing and layaway options, including 12- to 48-month, no-interest options at times, plus trial lessons and an extended warranty.

Election reforms proposed by Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann passed the Senate unanimously on Wednesday with two major omissions — early voting and online registration.
The majority of the changes approved by the Senate involve stricter rules regarding campaign finance reporting, though other changes were proposed to clean up outdated terminology and procedures.
Two other election-related bills also passed, with all three going back to the House and likely to end up in conference committees before final action.
"The Mississippi Senate took another step in passing historic election code legislation with bipartisan cooperation," Hosemann said in a statement. "Not in recent memory has any such massive election or voting legislation passed with unanimous support, truly remarkable."
"What we're all trying to get to is a bill that makes technical changes, not policy changes," said Sen. David Blount, D-Jackson. "I think what we're going to get to is a bill that is overdue that makes a lot of changes needed and makes the elections process better for everybody, regardless of political party."
Numerous changes were made to campaign finance rules. Most notably, candidates would have to individually itemize funds paid to a credit card or other online payment method.
The bill in its current form would also prohibit lawmakers from soliciting campaign funds during a legislative session, although Sen. Sally Doty, R-Brookhaven and chairwoman of the Elections committee, said that aspect might be changed in conference committee.
Other key changes include moving municipal elections from May to April, establishing staggered terms for election commissioners, mandating that polling places comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and requiring that unopposed candidates be listed on primary election ballots.
Doty, who took questions during the debate, was pressed by multiple senators about the omission of the original bill's early voting clause, which is authorized in 37 other states.
Sen. Bob Dearing, D-Natchez, offered an amendment Wednesday that would allow citizens to vote up to 21 days prior to election day. Doty said the early voting would create a financial burden on county clerks, and the amendment failed by voice vote.
"You're saying to me that Mississippians want to vote early, and we won't allow it because it's a little more expensive?" said Sen. David Jordan, D-Greenwood. "Why can't we put extra resources into something that's needed?"
Two other election bills were passed Wednesday – one that would allow voters to update their registration information online (but not register online), and one that would impose stricter penalties on those who committed election crimes.

Just one day after stars like Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Laura appealed to gay fans by merely being present at the Golden Globes, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has attempted the one-up of 2018 by announcing her engagement to Gleecreator Brad Falchuk on Instagram.
Here is live footage of Paltrow trying to get her stan army in order:
On Monday, she posted a photo of her and Falchuk together with a ring emoji as a caption.
For the first time, I feel like I'm in an adult relationship that is sometimes very uncomfortable because he sort of demands a certain level of intimacy and communication that I haven't been held to before," Paltrow told her magazine Goop, something I hope I never have to read. "What came up in the first couple of years of our relationship was how incapable I was in this realm how I feared intimacy and communication."
Paltrow also told Goop that she was ready for marriage again, after previously being married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
"Personally, at midlife, I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be," Paltrow said. "I have decided to give it a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy."
Paltrow recently got into hot water when the internet found out that one of the medical experts speaking at a Goop conference didn't believe that HIV caused AIDS.

One of the frustrations and delights of putting on an exhibition is that objects can look different from one's memory of them when seen together on the walls. It is, of course, part of the raison d'être of such exhibitions that they enable direct comparisons to be made, but they also inevitably make the catalogue, which has to be written many months before the exhibition, out of date, for it cannot include the experience of the exhibition itself. The following notes are intended as corrections to the text and observations arising from the exhibition, and they center largely around the large color prints.
Martin Butlin's very recent discovery of an 1804 watermark on the Tate version of the Newton color print (cat. no. 56b) has already demolished the received picture of the chronology and development of the large color prints, some of which are dated 1795. The presence of seven of these prints in the exhibition from various sources offers a useful opportunity to start thinking about them again and I am glad to report some progress. It was clear from seeing the prints together that we have to abandon any sense of a rigid method in their creation; there was no one way of making them and we should see their creation as part of an organic process of trial and error over a number of years. This is brought home by the discovery of Mr. Patrick Noon, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Yale Center for British Art, that there are definite indications of printing from a relief-etched copper plate on the Metropolitan Museum's impression of God Judging Adam (cat. no. 51). This has been confirmed by microscopic examination which revealed clear signs of indentation in the printed area and broken fibres around it consistent with pressure from a metal plate. The relief-etched areas, printed in gray, form a kind of broad underdrawing defining the main shapes of the figures, like the relief-etched areas in some of the plates from The Book of Urizen which were color printed. The discovery of relief-etched printing also provides an explanation of the mysterious letters observed on the surface of the New York impression, which appear to be the imprint of part of an embossed address of the kind often found on the back of copper plates; Blake has evidently used the back of a copper plate to make the relief-etched underprinting and not bothered to burnish down the platemaker's imprint.
This strongly suggests that God Judging Adam was the first of the large color prints to be worked on and that at first Blake simply extended the method he had employed for color printing the illuminated books by using a very much larger copper plate. We may surmise that he would have found relief etching on this size of plate to be time consuming and difficult and therefore not worth the labor: certainly none of the other color prints shows any signs of such relief etching but only the direct application of color from an unetched surface. There is every likelihood that he began working on these problems in 1795 when he was probably finishing the last of the color-printed illuminated books; on the other hand the watermark on the Tate Newton proves that he was working with a color-printing method as late as 1804, when he was preparing a set of the prints for Thomas Butts. The little known Glen Foerd version of the Newton is also in the exhibition (cat. no. 56), and it is clear that the two versions are quite different in handling, and that there are arguments for seeing the Glen Foerd version as predating the Tate version by several years. The differences between the two figures of Newton—the angle of the head, the contour of the back, the relationship of the feet to each other and the angle of the hands—make it unlikely that they were printed from the same surface: it is probable that Blake made a fresh start with the Tate version, presumably to complete the set for Thomas Butts. The differences are compatible with a space of many years between the two versions, and perhaps with the change of style in Blake's art in the years around 1800.
These changes certainly involve a stronger linearity which can be seen in the Tate version in the more incisive contour, and the reduction of broken lines of varied thickness, but the most striking differences are in the modeling. The forms in the Glen Foerd version are built up with a simple plasticity, shadowing from the lower contour leaving the main area without interior modeling. The Tate version, on the other hand, has a high degree of definition within the larger forms so that it is possible to discern the segmentation of the muscles and sense the shape of bone and cartilage beneath. This is achieved in the figure of Newton by a stippling technique applied almost exclusively in watercolor, and it is possible to see here an analogy with the 1803 watercolor in the exhibition of St. Paul preaching (cat. no. 75). This technique may derive from Blake's experience as a miniature painter, as Raymond Lister has suggested. The background in the Glen Foerd version is defined by dark washes but in the Tate version it is filled with an intense blue color; in fact color pervades all the darker areas of the later print and the modeling of the figure also picks up the blue from the background. begin page 225 | ↑ back to top The curious aqueous anemone-like effect in the vegetation of the Tate version is not present in the Glen Foerd version where Newton is clearly in a cave through which light passes from the top left.
There are also clear differences in the way the color printing is applied; in the Glen Foerd Newton it has a thick and pasty quality, applied in broad dabs with occasional areas of aqueous reticulation as if the pressure was applied fairly gently from the printing surface. In the Tate Gallery version the color printing seems more controlled and concentrated in specific areas like the rocky background. The lack of the fluid kind of reticulation led me at first to wonder if it was color printed at all and built up instead with a dabber in the thicker areas, but this does not seem likely on further examination. The thickness and density of the Glen Foerd color printing aligns it with the Whitney Good and Evil Angels (cat. no. 53) and I would propose that these two and the Metropolitan God Judging Adam can be dated to about 1795. The Pity (cat. no. 52) and the Hecate (cat. no. 55) from the Tate, however, present more difficult problems. There can be no doubt from a comparison with the Tate Newton that they were at least finished off in 1804-05 for sale to Thomas Butts, but the quality of the color printing underneath, as far as it can be discerned under the final stippled coloring, seems to have the density of the presumed 1795 prints. It is still arguable, then, that these were, as was always thought, printed in 1795 and then finished finally in 1804-05 for Butts. If this is right then it would suggest that when Butts commissioned a set of the prints Blake had a mixed group of impressions of the color prints lying about the studio, most of which could be adapted into a harmonious set while others, including the Newton for reasons unknown, had to be made anew. This is probably as far as we can go at the moment but we will be able to fill out the account when the other Tate color prints are examined more closely.
Herewith a few notes on other things in the show:
Cat. no. 2. Joseph of Arimathea engraving (Trinity College, Hartford, Ct.). This appears to be a more interesting object than I first thought. Apart from touches of wash it has small areas of scraping out, and most unexpected, what appears to be the expressive use of plate tone on the surface to give a greater richness of texture. If this is deliberate then it suggests the use of yet another printing technique by Blake, and one that was hardly ever used in his time. The use of scraping out suggests a date in the 1820s; it is also used in the Mellon copy of Jerusalem, pl. 99.
44. Europe a Prophecy, copy A. I had hinted in the catalogue that there might be something wrong with the coloring of this copy, and I am now fully persuaded that most of the color washes, apart from the color printing, have been added by a later hand, perhaps in this century.
70. The Virgin Hushing the Young John the Baptist. Though a laboratory report states that this work is on paper it looks as if it is on canvas; certainly the weave is very strongly visible. Perhaps it is on very thin paper applied wet to the canvas?
79. The Repose of the Holy Family in Egypt. Though magical in quality and drawing this watercolor can be seen to be very badly faded.

Before the pandemic, wages at manufacturing company Promation Engineering Ltd. tended to go up with the cost of living, a nice three to four per cent a year. COVID-19 changed all that.
"We've seen an upward pressure across the board, especially for young workers," Darryl Spector, president of the Oakville, Ont.-based company, said in an interview.
Spector has little choice but to turn to younger, relatively inexperienced workers because the pool of older talent has shrunk, probably because of an accelerated rate of retirement. He's raised wages by about 10 per cent and in some cases he's tacked on an extra week of vacation for newbies who used to get only two weeks in the beginning.
It's a peculiar phenomenon, considering the amount of slack in Canada's labour market. In August, the country still had more than 155,000 positions to recoup to get back to where it was at the time of the COVID-19 shutdowns. The unemployment rate has been trending down, but still sits above seven per cent, compared with about 5.5 per cent at the start of the pandemic. Statistics Canada reports there were more than 800,000 vacancies in the second quarter, and yet 1.4 million working-age Canadians were unemployed.
There would appear to be lots of supply, yet employers across the country say their demand for talent is going unmet. Spector is currently trying to fill 10 positions, even after bumping up his starting wage and adding vacation days.
Economists are trying to discern what's going on. The Bank of Canada characterized wage increases as "moderate" in July. Bay Street analysts aren't so sure. Official data suggests paycheques are increasing at an annual pace of about three per cent, according to a Bank of Montreal report. But those numbers are from the summer. Anecdotal evidence suggests wage pressures continue to build. Six executives interviewed for this story said they have boosted pay by between 10 and 50 per cent.
Some blame the shortage of job seekers on COVID-19 benefits, which they argue have made it too easy for workers to stay home and collect government cheques. Others pin it on American companies, which have taken advantage of the new work-from-anywhere culture to poach from the Canadian rivals.
But, the wage story is a bit more complicated than that.
The conundrum didn't crop up because of the pandemic; rather, it was an emerging problem for companies that the crisis exacerbated. The labour market already was in a precarious situation at the start of 2020, according to a new report by the Business Development Bank of Canada.
For decades, the make-up of workers has been a drag on economic growth. According to the BDC, since the late 1970s, labour force growth has trended downwards from a high of three per cent, plummeting to one per cent by 2016 and declining since. The participation rate, a metric of the share of the working-age population that is either looking for a job or has one, has followed in step. In the early 2000s, it hovered close to 67 per cent, but has now declined to 62.5 per cent. Since 2011, Canadian companies' demand for workers has far outstripped supply.
"As the economy recovers, this scarcity of workers is reaching worrying heights, putting economic growth at risk and compromising the competitiveness of Canadian businesses," Pierre Cléroux, chief economist at BDC, said in the report.
This scarcity of workers is reaching worrying heights, putting economic growth at risk and compromising the competitiveness of Canadian businesses
Martin Basiri, CEO and co-founder of Waterloo, Ont.-based ApplyBoard Inc., said the pandemic aggravated the tightening labour market because it accelerated the digitization of nearly everything, from classes moving online to mom-and-pop restaurants creating their own apps for takeout and delivery.
"Now, a bigger portion of companies are going for tech talent while total supply didn't go up," said Basiri. "Before the pandemic, we had a hard time hiring software developers. Now, we have an even harder time."
ApplyBoard, a platform that helps international students get into post-secondary schools, currently has more than 400 openings, though not all are developers. Still, Basiri said developer salaries have increased 30 to 50 per cent since just before the pandemic.
For Vetster, Inc., an online vet telemedicine portal, compensation has increased between 15 to 30 per cent and the two-year-old company with 35 employees is hiring for enough positions to double its size. CEO and co-founder Mark Bordo said wages are being pushed higher by competition from south of the border, where companies are taking advantage of a favourable exchange rate to nab precious talent at a discount. At the same time, he said the issue is bigger than that because it's not only coders and engineers who are demanding higher wages. "It's across the board," he said. "Whether you're looking for somebody for customer experience, marketing, or product development, their starting salary expectations are higher than what they used to be."
Generally, rising wages can be an economic benefit because for too long, paycheque growth has remained slow in Canada. "If the current trend persists, in some ways that's good for narrowing the income distribution," said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at Bank of Montreal.
Still, there's a risk that higher salaries will stoke inflation, which already is running well in excess of the Bank of Canada's target. If employers raise the cost of their products and services to offset higher wage bills, the "good inflation" from higher pay could contribute to a price spiral. The Bank of Canada probably would like wages to increase, as that would aid economic growth, but policy-makers probably would raise interest rates if pay gains started to get out of hand, said Derek Holt, an economist at Bank of Nova Scotia. "(Wage growth) would be a welcome form of inflation but not one that (the Bank of Canada) can allow to go on," Holt said.
It's not only tech companies that are seeing the pressure. In the restaurant sector, wages anecdotally are increasing. At Darrell's restaurant, a burger joint in Halifax, hourly wages in some cases have gone up 25 per cent. "We're starting line cooks with almost no experience at $15 now and we're hiring cooks with experience for far more money than that because you just can't find good people with a good work ethic to step into the position," said Steve McLean, an operations manager who had managed to fill only two of nine vacancies since the beginning of August.
In the manufacturing sector, Dennis Dussin, president of Alps Welding Ltd., said his wages for skilled tradespeople are going up about 10 per cent, similar to Promation. The salary pressures for the specialty welding manufacturer are beginning to bleed into quotes for projects. "We have seen costs increase on labour and material, so our quoted prices have been going up," he said.
Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia Holdings Inc., has been able to avoid price increases on his products, but salary pressures are an issue. Since the pit of the recession last year, the research technology firm has grown from 60 employees to 100 and is looking to add another 20. "As long as companies like ours continue to grow, we're going to have severe competition for talent and salaries will go up," Froman said. Salary increases at Delvinia range from 15 to 30 per cent, but to address the labour supply gap, Froman is bringing on workers with more junior experience to mentor and train them up, which also helps mitigate wage pressures slightly.
Ultimately, the uniqueness of this recession has brought on wage growth, said Spector, Promation's president. People are exiting the labour market, either retiring early or leaving industries entirely because they were furloughed. "You've got to fill those seats with people with experience that is lacking," he said. "That's going to cause increased cost pressures on the remaining cohort that has experience and a desire to stay in the industry and also … younger, less experienced workers in the pipeline."

We know this is the M version of the new X6 because of the aggressive front bumper, which features larger intakes and a much wider air dam than those found on prototypes for the regular model. We can also see thicker side skirts, a subtle rear spoiler and M-style quad-exhaust tips.
The current X6 M is a beast. A 555-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V-8 beast. Will that monstrous powerplant carry forward, or can BMW improve on the formula? We suspect the basic drivetrain will remain the same, although tweaked to deliver slightly more power and torque, as well as improved economy.
Engineers are also likely to have reduced weight through the use of carbon fiber and other lightweight materials, and we could see some fuel-saving measures such as an engine stop-start system employed. A more fuel-efficient dual-clutch transmission may also end up replacing the automatic found in the current model.
Inside, expect to see the usual array of M goodies like carbon fiber and Alcantara trim, special badging and electronic gizmos such as adjustable steering and suspension settings. The standard wheels should be 20-inch light alloys.
Stay tuned for updates as development progresses.

How many times have you heard your financial advisor or favorite analyst say: "No one can time the market?" "Buy and hold is the only safe strategy." And how many times have you heard the same financial advisor or analyst blame "the algorithms" after a particularly bad day in the stock market?
Well, which is it? If large investors are privy to trading algorithms that get them out of the market before they go down, before the public at large and back in the market before stocks start to go up again, then timing the market must work for some people. Just not you, right? Who's kidding who with this nonsense?
Or maybe you've signed up for a service that promises to tell you when to get out of the market before a decline, but by the time they warn you to get out, the market has already dropped significantly.
Let's look at Investor's Business Daily's trend advisory system, not bad, it gets you out before the worst of the February/March 2020 selloff:
So, according to this, you would start selling on 2/21, sell 25% that day, 25% 2/24, 25% 2/25, and the rest on 2/26. Let's see how that works out:
On 2/21, you lose about 1.2%. On 2/24, you lose about 3.35% of what's left, on 2/25, you you lose 3.0% of what's left, and on 2/26, you lose a bit more. So, altogether, you lost somewhere between 5% and 10%, depending what you own, which is pretty good, right?
Now, let's see Rodin's signals:
On February 5, there was a buy signal at 332.27; on Feb 20, there was a sell signal at 335.32 (1% gain). We are out until March 5, when we see a buy signal which would execute at 304.98. Notice we are stopped out the following day at the opening price of 293.15 (3.9% loss). We do not get another buy signal until 3/24, and that buy signal executes the following day at 244.85. This is held until 4/21 and sold at 276.73 (13% gain). There was another buy signal on 5/18 at 293 (not shown) ½ of which was sold on 6/10 at 321, and the other half the next day at 311 (7.8% average gain). So the total gain from February 5 is 1+ (-3.9) +13+7.8=17.9%. During the same period, the SPY went from 332.27 to 311.46, or a loss of 6.2%. Now that's beating the market!
