She began her popular contemporary romance series Adams Grove while juggling a successful career in finance and life on a seventy-six-acre farm.

A heartwarming Christmas story filled with the magic and miracles of the holiday season by USA Today Bestselling author, Nancy Naigle.
Growing up, Liz Westmoreland dreamed of taking over her grandparents inn located in the small mountain town of Antler Creek only for it to be sold before she ever got the chance. While browsing the internet, she stumbles upon a listing for what looks to be the picturesque inn and it's set to go to auction. Liz places a bid, and by a miracle, wins the auction. But when she gets there she finds the property in significant disrepair.
When Matt Hardy narrowly lost the inn and property that butted his land, he just hoped it wasn't another city slicker coming to make matters worse after the previous owners gutted the place for an art gallery. But the minute he recognized the sweet, freckle-faced girl from his childhood and heard her plans to reopen the inn, he jumps at the chance to help his childhood crush restore a place where he made so many fond memories.
While working on repairs, Liz and Matt discover her grandmother's collection of angels in one of the cabins. When the angels start mysteriously showing up all over the inn, she begins to look at them as reassurance—that restoring the inn is what she's meant to do. But when an accident leaves Liz feeling like she made a mistake, will Matt—and the residents of Antler Creek—be able to show Liz that she's found a home? And possibly true love as well?
From USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle, Dear Santa is a heartwarming Christmas story about finding your passion for life and love.
Angela Carson wants nothing more than to be the third-generation to run her family's holiday store, Heart of Christmas, successfully. They've weathered over sixty tourist seasons, major hurricanes, and urban sprawl, in their old decommissioned lighthouse. But the national chain that set up shop in their small North Carolina town of Pleasant Sands may be more than Heart of Christmas can survive.
Encouraged by her niece to ask Santa for help through the Dear Santa app, Angela gives in and lets the words fly in a way that, if Santa were real, would no doubt land her on the naughty list. What's the harm when it's just a computer-generated response?
Geoff Paisley has been at his mother's side running the mega-chain Christmas Galore for the last ten years. When his mother falls ill, Geoff promises to answer the Dear Santa letters in her stead. Soon he realizes the woman he's been corresponding with on Dear Santa is Angela. How could the woman that grates his every last nerve in person have intrigued him so deeply through those letters?
When Geoff reveals that he's her Dear Santa, will Angela be able to set aside their very public feud to embrace the magic of the holiday and possibly find true love?
Nancy Naigle delivers a heartwarming Christmas story that proves you can always go home again.

When a catastrophe forces The Book Bea to close before the end of the year, everyone in the small town is feeling the loss. While Sydney is already off-balance by the bad news, her ex-husband breaks a promise to their daughter that sends her running away and threatens the relationship that she has begun with Mac.

Joy Holbrook might be all work and no play, but that changes when her Aunt Ruby takes a fall that lands her in a rehabilitation center before the holidays. Joy takes a leave of absence from her job as a market researcher to run the family farm, even though the timing may hinder her chance at garnering the promotion of her dreams.
Ben Andrews isn't your average accountant. He also happens to be the handiest man in Crystal Falls. He's helped his elderly neighbor, Ruby Johnson, decorate for the annual Christmas Home Tour—and win—the last several years. He's not about to let some drop-in niece break their winning streak.
Ruby seems overly concerned about Joy being able to handle Molly. Under the impression she's referring Molly the bunny that is one of the menagerie of animals, Joy's not worried at all until the next morning when a little girl named Molly shows up. For the sake of her aunt, Joy is forced to partner with Ben while Ruby is on the mend to help with preparation for the Christmas tour and, in the process finds her career-focused heart dreaming of a family.
Will the magic of Christmas help her to open her heart and find her everlasting joy?
Megan Howard used to be a successful painter—but that was a long time ago. These days she's struggling to move forward, convinced her heart is permanently broken after her last relationship and grief stricken over the loss of her father. Clinging to memories of happier times, she holds tight to her father's most cherished possession: a 1958 DeSoto Adventurer. Though she needs the money, she'll never sell it—even loaning the prized automobile to her best friend on the day of her wedding stirs up painful memories.
Avowed bachelor and car collector Noah Black has never seen a car he can live without…or a woman he can live with. Reluctant to see his best friend condemned to matrimony, he flies to Boot Creek from California to be the best man in the wedding. But after discovering that the gorgeous maid of honor owns the car of his dreams, Noah makes a pricey bet that he'll add the DeSoto to his collection, no matter what it takes.
Despite their determination to stay single, Noah and Megan soon find they can't resist each other. His attention turns from getting the car to getting the girl, and thanks to Noah, Megan can imagine a life in the present. But when the truth about Noah's wager comes to light, will it threaten to throw Megan's new perspective into reverse?
Growing up, Elli Eversol spent nearly every summer in Sand Dollar Cove at her grandparents' beach house, working at their shops on the old fishing pier. After a hurricane and a Nor'easter damage the pier and the shops nearly beyond repair, Elli returns to town to help rebuild. She even launches the Buy-A-Board campaign to raise funds for the plight. Holden Moore is back in Sand Dollar Cove, too. He broke Elli's heart years ago, but he's pulling every Romeo trick in the book to win her back now. Yet there's more to Holden's agenda, and it doesn't include saving the pier.
Brody Rankin is eager to scout the location for his company's new mega-warehouse near a quaint North Carolina beach town. The online request for handyman assistance for the Buy-A-Board campaign in Sand Dollar Cove gives him the perfect reason to head to the east coast, check out the area, and contribute to a good cause. He'd only have to leave half of his playboy-surfer lifestyle behind for a little while—there are plenty of waves in the Atlantic. But when he meets Elli Eversol, she really gets the surf up, and he's tempted to toss his playboy ways out with the tide.
Katherine Barclift had it all: the perfect job, the perfect car, and what she thought was the perfect marriage. But when her entire world collapses in one stomach-churning instant, she hits the road and keeps driving until that so-called "perfect life" is just a dot in her rearview mirror.
A chance encounter leads her to make a pit stop in Boot Creek, a drowsy little North Carolina town where she can call herself Katy, soak up the peace and quiet…and drink in the bluer-than-blue eyes of Derek Hansen, a local doctor still wrestling with his own painful past. Both Katy and Derek are wary about giving romance another shot, but they can't deny the intense attraction between them. And if being in Boot Creek has taught them anything, it's to take life as it comes and never pass up a chance at true love…no matter how wounded your heart may be.

Lucky for them, they have their choice of two cases, but which to take—a suspected art forgery or mysteriously disappearing trash from the county landfill?
As usual, things aren't exactly as they first seem, and the grannies soon find themselves going undercover and dumpster diving to track down both bad guys. And now that Lil has scored an unexpected early release from prison, the grannies have more at stake than ever.

Welcome to Adams Grove…where wrongs are righted with just desserts.
Luck abandoned Brooke Justice during her nasty divorce. Desperate to escape her malicious ex-husband, she relocated to the small town of Adams Grove, Virginia. When someone breaks into her new house, she suspects her ex bears the blame for the crime. With no evidence and little help from the police, she asks a private investigator to take her case—a private investigator whose sexy broad shoulders and stunning blue eyes make her question her decision to swear off relationships forever.
Mike Hartman fled Adams Grove when a devastating loss left his heart in pieces. After years overseas in the military, he's finally returned home, determined to start anew as a private investigator. Then Brooke walks into his office, awakening something he hasn't felt in years. Can they both move on…into each other's arms? Or will the pain of the past—and the dangerous threat lurking in the present—destroy their new beginning?
This is Nancy Naigle's second novel with ties to the fictional small town of Adams Grove. The first, Sweet Tea and Secrets, came out in the summer of 2011.
In OUT OF FOCUS, Kasey Phillips thinks her biggest problem is deciding whether to photograph Cody Tuggle's honky-tonkin' tour, until an accident on Route 58 claims the life of her husband.
In a desperate race against time as a hurricane threatens the eastern seaboard, they search for her three-year-old son who is missing from the wreckage.
A community and friends rally to help, but someone knows more than they are telling.
Honey, these are not your momma's grannies…
When Lillian Summer Fairview's husband up and dies on her, it leaves the last living member of the most prestigious family in Summer Shoals, Georgia, in a hot mess. While Lil was busy being a proper Southern lady, Harlan squandered dang near the whole family fortune on lottery tickets. To keep her financial skeletons in the closet and give him a decent burial, Lil made a deal that has now landed her in prison.
Desperate to keep her troubles a secret and the family estate from falling down while she pays her debt to society, Lil entrusts Summer Haven's care to her best friend, Maggie, who recruits two more over-fifty ladies to live at Summer Haven and help keep it afloat.
But when Maggie discovers that Lil's restitution is ten times the amount she "borrowed" from the federal government, she's convinced Lil has taken the fall for someone else's crime. And these gals will use every trick in their little-old-lady bags to prove it.
Welcome to Adams Grove…where the pies are delicious but the lies are to die for.
America's beloved country superstar Cody Tuggle never expected to be one of America's most wanted. At least that's how he feels since he's been accused of murdering his scheming agent. Desperate to prove he's innocent, he turns to his only alibi, award-winning photographer Kasey Phillips, who recently toured with him and his band.
After an exciting life on the road, Kasey has settled down in small-town Adams Grove with her five-year-old son. Unexpectedly reunited with Cody, she finds herself open to love again. But just when she's ready to fall, everything she ever believed about him is called in to question.
Cody has waited a long time for genuine love, and he can't let this chance with Kasey slip away. But as the evidence stacks up, the accusations against him put a damper on the sparks flying between them. Can he convince Kasey he's innocent, and will she clear his name in time? Or will their dreams of the future be the victim of a deadly lie?
Pecan Pie and Deadly Lies is a sweet, down-home story of love overcoming all obstacles—from the crossroads of small town and suspense.
Welcome to Adams Grove…where the wedding cakes are sweet, but the recipe is murder.
For years, Carolanne Baxter dreamed of a life beyond Adams Grove. Being the daughter of the town drunk was no picnic, so when college offered her a chance for escape, she took it. Now Carolanne has returned home, finally ready to make amends with her father, Ben, and to celebrate the wedding of her best friends Jill and Garrett. Of course, the fact that Connor Buckham, her sexy new law partner and Garrett's best man, happens to be the same guy the town matchmaker named as Carolanne's perfect match…well! That's just icing on the cake.
But Carolanne's hopes for a fresh start are dashed when a dead body surfaces during Jill and Garrett's wedding reception…and Ben Baxter becomes the prime suspect. The murder throws the town into uproar, threatening to destroy the tentative peace between father and daughter—and to derail the budding romance between Carolanne and Connor. Has the matchmaker's perfect streak come to end? Or will the truth finally bring Carolanne the happy ending she's dreamed of for so long?
Revised edition!
This edition of Sweet Tea and Secrets has been revised and includes new scenes.
When beloved town matriarch Pearl Clemmons dies on a warm June afternoon, the folks of Adams Grove, Virginia, can hardly believe it. Sure, Pearl was eighty-five years old, but everyone—particularly her granddaughter Jill—just assumed she would live forever. Now Jill must return home to settle Pearl's estate, comfort a town in mourning…and face Garrett Malloy, the man who broke her heart years ago.
Making matters worse, a string of break-ins at the Clemmons place has Jill and the rest of the town on edge. She can't imagine what Pearl possibly could have had that is worth stealing. But when Jill's safety is threatened, she and Garrett must join forces to unearth Pearl's secrets before someone else—someone dangerous—gets there first. Garrett may have been the last man Jill wanted to see, but now, she may not want to let him go.

Gin & Rum Festival - Swiss Gin Awards
Barb Grossenbacher / 15. Mai 2018
And the Winner is …
Edelwhite 57 Navy Strength Gin!
It was with pride and anticipation that Edelwhite Gin participated in the two day Gin & Rum Festival at the Eiszentrum on the picturesque Lake of Lucerne. Over 50 stands and 800 spirits were on display making it the perfect location for Edelwhite to first be presented to the Swiss gin-scene. www.gin-rum-festival.com
Bester Schweizer Gin
The awards ceremony, which took place on the first evening was one of the highlights of the festivities. Over 70 gins were entered in the competition and Edelwhite 57 Navy Strength came out on top! The jury, a panel of eight, led by Spirits expert, Arthur Naegele, included two spirits tasting professionals, two consumers, two distillers and two barkeepers. The spirits were tasted blind, according to international tasting standards. www.spirits-awards.ch
An Explosion of Interest in Edelwhite 57
Needless to say, public interest was huge after the announcement that Edelwhite 57 was «The Best Swiss Gin». Until now only really known to insiders the gin foraged, distilled, and bottled in the Unesco Biosphere Entlebuch suddenly was the one to taste. And taste they did!
The Edelwhite Story
As with any gin in this day and age consumers find interest in the story behind the product. The Grossenbacher and Limacher family were on hand to answer questions from the inquisitive public about the handcrafted product, its origin, production process and of course characteristics of Edelwhite Gin itself.
Recognition and Appreciation
The recognition to be crowned the Best Schweizer Gin was a very important aspect for Edelwhite Gin on a local and national basis, as well as being an introduction to the Swiss spirits market. Just as important, however, was the confirmation from consumers at the Gin & Rum Festival who showed enthusiasm and appreciation for both Edelwhite 57, Navy Strength Gin and Edelwhite Gin Original, 42%vol.


text: We use first-principles models to demonstrate how an organic oxidizing agent F(4)-TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroquinodimethane) modifies the electronic structure of silicon nanocrystals, suggesting it may enhance p-type carrier density and mobility. The proximity of the lowest unoccupied level of F(4)-TCNQ to the highest occupied level of the Si nanocrystals leads to the formation of an empty hybrid state overlapping both the nanocrystal and molecule, reducing the excitation energy to similar to 0.8-1 eV in vacuum. Hence, it is suggested that F(4)-TCNQ can serve both as a surface oxidant and as a mediator for hole hopping between adjacent nanocrystals in p-type doped silicon nanocrystal networks

|The location of the muon detector on the slopes of the Vesuvius volcano.
Like X-ray scans of the human body, muon radiography allows researchers to obtain an image of the internal structures of the upper levels of volcanoes. Although such an image cannot help to predict 'when' an eruption might occur, it can, if combined with other observations, help to foresee 'how' it could develop and serves as a powerful tool for the study of geological structures.
Muons come from the interaction of cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere. They are able to traverse layers of rock as thick as one kilometre or more. During their trip, they are partially absorbed by the material they go through, very much like X-rays are partially absorbed by bones or other internal structures in our body. At the end of the chain, instead of the classic X-ray plate, is the so-called 'muon telescope', a special detector placed on the slopes of the volcano.
See: Muons reveal the interior of volcanoes
***MU-RAY project
MUon RAdiographY
"The interior of Vesuvius" (1638)
Read more about Athanasius Kircher on Wikipedia.
Cosmic ray muon radiography is a technique capable of imaging variations of density inside a hundreds of meters of rock. With resolutions up to tens of meters in optimal detection conditions, muon radiography can give us images of the top region of a volcano edifice with a resolution that is significantly better than the one typically achieved with conventional gravity methods and in this way can give us information on anomalies in the density distribution, such as expected from dense lava conduits, low density magma supply paths or the compression with depth of the overlying soil.
The MU-RAY project is aimed toward the study of the internal structure of Stromboli and Vesuvius volcanoes using this technique.

The Watershed are a San Francisco-based Hip-Hop crew consisting of emcees Equipto and Old Soul Kollective members MC Pauze & Professor Gabel, as well as producers Brycon, Old Soul Kollective beat-makers Baghead & Mcstravick, and emcee/producer Monk HTS. However, Monk HTS only contributed his emcees skills to Equipto & Brycon Present: The Watershed. The Watershed describes itself as a "multi-generational group" with a line-up consisting of both "vets and up-and-coming Frisco-bred talents (with one exception.)" I personally, heard about The Watershed just this past weekend from I Had An Accident Records (IHAA) label owner Damien Miller of Luke Sick & Damien fame; we were discussing one of IHAA's upcoming releases—Rabbi Max's TRANSATLANTIC tape—as well as The Watershed, along with Luke Sick & Damien's Strike The Clutch EP and Bonzo Speechless & Damien's Aberration. Prior to the release of Equipto & Brycon Present: The Watershed, just last week, Tuesday May 8th, The Watershed issued a number of pre-album singles, including "Real Dope," "The Sco," and "Swamp," as well as Clean Versions of 6 tracks from their full-length debut.
In addition to its seven core members, Equipto & Brycon Present: The Watershed features appearance from The Watershed friends and affiliates DJ Lotek1200, G-PEK (Gurp City,) LightBulb of Diamond Lung, Maitre'D, and Micah Aza. While Equipto & Brycon Present: The Watershed has a very early 2000's Bay Area Hip-Hop sound, which I would, personally, liken it to something similar to records from Talib Kweli & Mos Def AKA Black Star, Das Racist/Kool A.D.

In Arnhem Land they call Baker Boy the 'fresh new prince'. His totem is the Olive Python, his moiety is Dhuwa and his skin is Burralung/Gela boy. Raised in the remote NT communities of Yurrwi and Maningrida, 21 year-old Danzel Baker, aka Baker Boy, raps in Yolngu Matha language representing his bloodlines. A strikingly talented artist on an undeniable rise, Baker Boy kickstarted 2018 with two of his songs – Marryuna and Cloud 9 – winning their place in triple j's Hottest 100. He has supported the likes of 50 Cent and Dizzee Rascal, played summer festival slots at Laneway, Golden Plains and WOMADelaide, and sold out his first national tour last June playing venues across the country. Black Magic features Baker Boy's main man and song-writing collaborator Dallas Woods on guest vocals. The two met when Baker Boy was 17 and Dallas was 21. The two started writing songs for the first time and ignited the journey that catapulted Baker Boy to where he is now. They are staunch friends and continue to write together including Baker Boy's recent hit single Mr La Di Da Di and brand new track BLACK MAGIC out on Friday 13th July 2018.
About this track...
Black Magic takes a sharp left from Baker Boy's usual MO. Hard guitar in the chorus & raw lyrics holler his proud heritage in English & Yolngu Mata. Performed live the crowd get moshing as they remain conscious of Dallas Woods' powerful flow about being young, black & gifted.

AN EVERYMAN'S guide to help introduce one of the world's great galleries to a wider public was issued yesterday.
For many people, even those who wander by its magnificent neo-classical entrance on their daily rounds, the treasures of the Walker have remained a mystery.
That should start to change with the grand reopening on February 7, following extensive modernisation, which will will place the Walker at the forefront of Liverpool's bid to be the European Capital of Culture.
But organisers are keenly aware that pandering to popular taste could anger the purists who shrink away from anything which could vulgarise their gallery.
In an attempt to satisfy the traditionalists and the modernists, Jo Cooper, communications manager for the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, yesterday completed an A to Z of the Walker.
Her purpose is to show how "the national gallery of the North" can introduce new ideas without diminishing the dignity of what must remain at heart a place for exhibiting fine art.
But she begins with Artbase: A special space at the Walker dedicated to family fun from jigsaws to dressing up.
B deals with more familiar territory - Bathers at Dieppe by Walter Sickert, "a holiday snapshot from the most powerful of British post-impressionists".
In fact most of the listed items reflect the glories of the gallery's past, though the Z is for Zero, reminding people that there is no charge to see the "fantastic collection" of paintings and sculpture.
Also, on the newer side there is David Hockney's Peter Getting out of Nick's Pool and Lucian Freud's Interior at Paddington.
M is devoted to the gallery's most cherished possession, Christ Discovered in the Temple, by Simone Martini, the 14 century Italian painter of the Sienese school.
Other favourites include Woman Ironing by Edgar Degas, one of his best paintings in the Laundress series: Mrs Mounter by Harold Gilman, loved by children because of her craggy countenance; Rembrandt's Self-Portrait as a Young Man, which was presented to Charles I in the 1630s; and When Did You Last See Your Father? by William Yeames, generally regarded as the Walker's most popular painting.
The new mood at the Walker is exemplified by its decision to run exhibitions of work by JMW Turner and Paul McCartney in adjacent rooms from May 24 until August 4.
Baroness Tessa Blackstone, Minister of the Arts, is officiating at the reopening ceremony on February 7.
In September 2000, the gallery closed during the week for the work which is part of the NMGM's #40m Into the Future scheme, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the European Regional Development Fund and various organisations and individuals.
The gallery has been completely shut since last June.
The new facilities include four exhibition halls, including a foyer and galleries adapted for showing light sensitive water colours, prints and drawings.
All this has been created in rooms shut to the public for many years.
The Walker was opened by the 15th Earl of Derby in 1877.
The cost of construction was met by Sir Andrew Barclay Walker, the brewery owner. "This is the start of a new era for the Walker as a gallery, not only housing one of the most important collections of fine are in the UK, but as a venue for stimulating must-see exhibitions," said keeper of galleries Julian Treuherz.
Jo Cooper said: "We have included the names of paintings which will have been heard across the country and possibly across the world.
"People will know them, but they might not know they are in Liverpool."

Take a vacation while on vacation
Posted date : Nov 13, 2017.
Dear Bird Talk,
I recently read a newspaper article supposedly written by a U.S. immigration lawyer that states that, when snowbirds like ourselves spend time in the U.S., if we take a trip to another country from the U.S. and are gone for fewer than 30 days, when we calculate our six months' time period, we must include the time outside of the U.S. It did not sound correct to us and we are wondering if you can clarify?
Jeannette Ramsden
West Kelowna, BC
Ed: The article was correct. This is quite unfair in our opinion and is one reason that we really need this Snowbird Visa. If you come home for Christmas in the middle of your trip, the U.S. counts the time in Canada as time in the U.S., because you just left the U.S. temporarily and are planning to return.

We are a one-of-a-kind magazine that provides local, regional, national and international information about women's lives and education, performing and visual arts and writing, the environment, green living and sustainability and regional Western North Carolina business, people and events. "Villages preserve culture: dress, food and dance are a few examples. As villages grow in population and turn into towns, local cafes make way for large American chains. Handmade leather sandals are discarded for a pair of Western sneakers. Due to its small size, a village fosters a tight-knit sense of community. Justpeace.org explains the meaning of the African proverb, "It takes a village," by stating that a sense of community is critical to maintaining a healthy society. Village members hold a wealth of information regarding their heritage: they know about the ancient traditions, methods of production and the resources of the land. When villages become dispersed or exterminated in times of war, this anthropological knowledge disappears. Large cities are not as conducive to growing and producing foods such as fruits and vegetables. Villages, on the other hand, usually have ample amounts of land and other resources necessary for growing conditions."

In 2014, the Department of Law at the University of Gothenburg started the first Law Clinic in Sweden. A law clinic, or legal clinic, is usually defined as a non-profit law practice where law students provide free legal services to clients. Our Law Clinic, Rättspraktik, is a platform for clinical legal education, research and collaboration with the civil society and the City of Gothenburg.
We have chosen to work by a model that we call the Gothenburg Model. By collaborating with a group of non-profit organisations which offer free legal counselling we aim at creating a good exchange of experiences for both our students and the organisations. The students who are affiliated with the Law Clinic have internships at the organisations and can practice and develop their practical legal skills and knowledge under the supervision of both lawyers at the organisations and teachers at the Department of Law.

Betanal maxxPro
Our patented Double-A technology optimises both the spectrum of weeds controlled and the contact effectiveness of Betanal maxxPro to ensure that it gives you outstanding weed control in sugar beet.
Our patented Double-A technology optimises both the spectrum of weeds controlled and the contact effectiveness of Betanal maxxPro to ensure that it gives you outstanding weed control in sugar beet.
Betanal maxxPro is a broad-spectrum post-emergence contact/residual herbicide, which controls a wide range of annual broad-leaved weeds and annual meadow-grass in sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels.
Betanal maxxPro is recommended for low volume overall spraying in a planned spray programme and can follow an approved pre-emergence herbicide and/or approved post-emergence herbicide treatment(s) used at recommended low doses for programmes. It may also be used in sequence with grass weed killers. Refer to graminicide product literature for recommended intervals.
Betanal maxxPro acts mainly by contact action but will, in a planned programme and in moist conditions, provide residual control of some later germinating weeds.
|Active substance
47 g/L (4.48% w/w) desmedipham + 75 g/L (7.23% w/w) ethofumesate +
|Oil Dispersion (OD)
|Pack Size
|10 Litres
|Water Volume
|80-200 L/ha
|Buffer Zone
|For use on
|Sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels*
|Max. individual dose
|1.5 L/ha
|Max. total dose
(per crop)
|4.5 L/ha
|Latest time of application
|Before the crop meets between the rows
|Other specific restrictions
|The maximum total dose must not exceed 1.0 kg ethofumesate per hectare in any three year period.
*Betanal maxxPro also has an EAMU for Beetroot (See When and how to apply)
The flexible strategy was developed by Broom's Barn to bring greater flexibility in weed control and increase spraying capacity across the farm as a whole. It widens the spraying window for weed control by enabling the application of robust, broad-spectrum treatments to weeds at the early true leaves stage. It also provides the opportunity to deploy the same tank-mix across a number of fields and allows selection of spray days with optimum conditions for herbicide activity to avoid the risk of crop damage.
Initially the flexible strategy was based on Bayer's three-way co-formulation of desmedipham, phenmedipham and ethofumesate - mixed with an appropriate residual herbicide, usually metamitron or lenacil. Today it is based on Betanal maxxPro.
The combination of its advanced formulation technology and desmedipham component makes this product the most robust on the market. Not only does it give good, broad-spectrum weed control under good growing conditions - warm and moist - but equally when conditions are highly challenging to herbicide activity - dry and/or cool - which has been a common feature of recent weed control seasons in the UK.
As a result, the flexible strategy enables growers to achieve effective broad-spectrum control from two to three post-emergence applications.
The best weed control strategy for many will be the one that brings the flexibility to balance spraying capacity with workload. This is why the current trend is towards the flexible strategy.This is not just down to the need to reduce workload but also for the flexibility it brings to work around the weather and maintain good weed control even when delayed.
The key to Betanal maxxPro's performance is its innovative and patented Double-A Technology combining an advanced formulation technology and a unique activation technology.
The advanced formulation technology combines state-of-the-art solvents, emulsifiers and wetting agents in an OD (oil dispersion) formulation. As illustrated by the fluorescence photographs below this ensures even distribution of the active ingredients to optimise spreading and coverage of weeds' leaf surfaces. By comparison the spray distribution from a generic SC formulation with adjuvant is clearly patchy.
The result is faster and more reliable uptake of the active ingredients by weeds compared to a standard 3-way EC formualation without Double-A technology.
The other half of the Double-A Technology breakthrough is an activation technology based on a micro-rate of lenacil that significantly enhances the herbicidal performance of the active ingredients desmedipham, phenmedipham and ethofumesate.
The weed plant's stomato regulation is blocked shortly after the herbicide is applied. This has a two-fold effect - increased transpiration and a higher electro transport rate - which can be seen by the resulting reduction in leaf surface temperature from Betanal maxxPro. The impact of both effects is faster and more powerful weed control.
Working together, the advanced formulation and activation technologies drive Betanal maxxPro's weed control performance, delivering broader spectrum control and a faster kill of more difficult weeds such as annual mercury, knotgrass, common orache and polygonums.
Weeds controlled
The recommended timing of application is fully expanded cotyledon stage of the largest weed present and this should be followed wherever possible. The weed growth stage given below from the product label is for an occasional larger weed, which will usually be controlled from a full programme of Betanal maxxPro sprays.
Weeds killed up to 6 expanded true leaves
Weeds killed up to 4 expanded true leaves
Weeds killed up to 2 expanded true leaves
Weeds killed at cotyledon stage
Other weeds controlled
All commercially grown varieties of sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels may be treated with Betanal maxxPro. A programme of Betanal maxxPro low volume treatments should be applied as follows:
Growth stage
Rate in
Crop and weeds at cotyledon stage
1.25 L/ha
1.0 L/ha
Second and
Crop at or beyond two true leaf stage
|1.5 L/ha
1.25 L/ha
*Refer to summary of recommendations in document library for details of recommended mixes.
Where a pre-emergence treatment has been applied as a band spray, it will be necessary to time the first post-emergence Betanal maxxPro treatment according to the size of weeds present between the rows where there is no pre-emergence effect.
A single application of Betanal maxxPro is seldom sufficient to achieve season long weed control. Susceptible weeds may not all be killed by the first treatment. They will usually be checked and then controlled by later applications. Further Betanal maxxPro sprays should be applied as each new flush of weeds reaches the cotyledon stage. Successful results from a programme are achieved by applying each spray when the previous one is still showing an effect on the weeds, but a minimum of 5 days must elapse between treatments.
Betanal maxxPro may be used on all soil types. On soils with more than 5% organic matter content residual activity may be reduced.
Succeeding crops
Beet crops may be sown at any time after the use of Betanal maxxPro. Any other crop may be sown 3 months after using Betanal maxxPro. Mouldboard ploughing to a minimum depth of 15 cm should precede preparation of a new seedbed.
Crop Tolerance
When used as recommended, Betanal maxxPro exhibits good safety to beet.
However, several factors may affect the crop tolerance and performance of Betanal maxxPro especially when used in mixtures. Some transient crop effects may occur soon after application but when the crop is under stress, application of Betanal maxxPro can lead to crop check from which it may not fully recover. In extreme cases some loss of crop may occur.
Application of Betanal maxxPro or Betanal maxxPro mixtures is not recommended when the crop is suffering from stress. Stress can be caused by a number of circumstances, the most important of which are as follows:
Use after other Herbicides
Most beet crops are treated with more than one herbicide. In these circumstances it is not always possible to predict the interactions, which may occur, and the effects of stresses in such conditions may be more severe.
Manganese Deficiency
If a crop is suffering from manganese deficiency it may be checked by Betanal maxxPro. To avoid crop check, manganese should ideally be applied to the crop first.
Lime Deficiency
Crops suffering from lime deficiency may be checked when sprayed with Betanal maxxPro. Growers should ensure that the lime status of the soil is satisfactory before drilling.
High Temperatures
When the temperature is, or is likely to be, above 21°C (70°F) on the day of spraying, application of Betanal maxxPro should be made after 5 pm otherwise crop check may occur.
If crops are subjected to substantial day to night temperature changes shortly before or after spraying, a check may occur from which the crop may not fully recover.
Crops sprayed with Betanal maxxPro and subjected to frost within seven days may be checked such that they may not fully recover.
High Light Intensity
Where the crop is already under stress, and Betanal maxxPro is sprayed in conditions of high light intensity, the crop may suffer a check from which it may not fully recover.
Strong winds can damage crops by physical buffeting and contingent damage can arise from blown soil particles. When wind damage has occurred, delay application of Betanal maxxPro until the crop has recovered.
Insect Attack
If insects damage the crop, e.g. mangel fly, pygmy mangel beetle or flea beetle, Betanal maxxPro may cause a check from which the crop may not fully recover.
EAMU – Beetroot
This Extension of Authorisation relates to the use of Betanal MaxxPro as a herbicide for use on beetroot to control annual meadow grass and a wide range of annual broad-leaved weeds.

13,000,000TPY Magnetite Crushing Line
Material: Magnetite
Capacity: 13,000,000TPY
Output Size: 0-5mm
Daily Operation: 24h
Equipment: HPT300 Hydraulic Cone Crusher
Customer Feedback
For this technical improvement project, we have purchased SBM's machines after friend's introduction. I was surprised that they worked so well. Production line is much more stable than the original one. The original fine crushing process used the heavy hammer crusher with 1600mm in diameter. The hammerhead needed replacing frequently, wasting time and energy while quick-wear parts cost up to 2.0 yuan /t. After replacing it by HPT300, the cost of quick-wear parts fell to 0.4 yuan /t. Besides, maintenance is more convenient. SBM is trustworthy.

The other evening while our grand kids was playing at the patio after the Buka Puasa session, I notice Azib the youngest grand kid holding a long stick trying to make the insect move. He was just playing and when I asked him what he was doing, he said there is an insect under the rattan lampshade. He was amused and asks me take a look toward the hanging lampshade and that there is an insect there. I took a closer look under the lampshade and was delighted to see a Moth clinging to the inside of the woven rattan lampshade. I ask him and his elder sister to have a look as well and after telling them that it is safe to watch they both peep under the lampshade. Happy with what they saw yet another insect at close range they continue to play around it. Without wasting any time I went to get my camera and took as many shots of that insect before it fly away. It eventually flew away and then landed on one of the decorative lighting in the shape of a dragonfly that hang from the ceiling. It was attracted to the light and stayed there for a while. It is not always that one gets the opportunity to get a shot of this beauty of the night insect and this evening thanks to my grand kid Azib, who alert me to it, I got that opportunity to take the image of this night insect.
Rumi that great Sufi master has this to say about this magnificent flying insect "Judge a moth by the beauty of its candle" True, how elegant it look beside that 'candle' the lighted dragonfly, a decorative lighting at the ceiling of my patio. As we all know too well that Moth is attracted by the light, thus the two elements of nature that gave one the pleasure of been one, for it was the light that got it to be one; such a beauty. By itself it would not glow but with the light it was just magnificent, the magic fusion of the two elements, the insect and the light. Indeed a mystic of sort for us to wonder and appreciate the greatness of nature. In the images above it clearly shows the role of the 'candle' as expressed by Rumi; a beauty in the night. The two images above are a moment in time that I had managed to capture with the macro lens. Indeed a wonder of nature for us to enjoy. Have a nice day.

Motorbike pastor journeys with 'ragamuffins'
Sean Stillman tells Linda McTurk how he has ridden with motorcyclists on some of the darkest roads of their lives
SOME people might be surprised by the idea of Christians gathering in motorcycle clubhouses. Bikers are often perceived as rough, tough people who may ride on the wrong side of the law. But Sean Stillman, who carries out a Christian ministry in motorcycle clubhouses, believes that their reputation with the public is not always justified.
'The negative public perception of bikers is real, but I don't know that the bike subculture is worse than any other, particularly in terms of its behaviour,' he says. 'But people choose to belong to motorcycle clubs because they want to belong somewhere.
'There's something very tribal about sharing the road with a bunch of your mates. If a disaster happens during a lengthy journey, the process of getting to your destination almost becomes secondary. You actually become closer as a community as a result.'
Sean's journey to becoming a pastor for bikers began as a teenager when a brotherly figure at his church introduced him to motorcycling. He then picked up a copy of On the Side of Angels, an autobiography by John Smith who in the late 1960s in Australia established a motorcycle club called God's Squad. Similar to other clubs, God's Squad had its own symbols and colours and its own vetting process to determine who could join. But, unlike other clubs, its mission was based on the teachings of Jesus.
Inspired by John's story, in 1995 Sean hit the road with three other Christian bikers to establish the first God's Squad chapter in the UK. Since then, they have developed a reputation in the motorcycling community as people who care. Through their time on the road, God's Squad members befriend bikers and offer them compassion and support in tough periods of their lives.
Sean recalls: 'During one funeral event, a guy who I'd known for 20 years, but never really had any interaction with before that point, put his arm around me at the graveside and said: "Thank you so much for what you've done for my [bike club] brother." He valued what we had brought to his community in the moments leading up to his friend's death and in supporting him and his family.'
There are five regional chapters of God's Squad in the UK and their members are well respected among the motorcycling community. But Sean explains that such respect was not easily earned.
'For a long time we were ignored. It was a matter of turning up and being there. We already had existing relationships with clubs where people would hang out. Then we'd get invited to their clubhouses and we'd go to public bike shows, sometimes events with 15,000 people or small events in the back of a pub car park.'
At the start of their ministry, there were times when Sean and his fellow God's Squad members even faced outright hostility.
'One time about 20 years ago, some guys had been drinking and were really angry about a news story that week where some priests had been exposed as paedophiles,' Sean recalls. 'A couple of us took a really bad beating for that. Afterwards I weighed it up and wondered whether this was a price worth paying. I decided that the only way we were going to change people's attitudes towards Christians was to prove that there was a different way.
'It probably took about ten years, and after that we started to be asked to take funerals, to hang out with different clubs and we became an accepted part of the furniture. And if we're not at an event, people want to know why, which is terrific.'
Many people who encounter Sean today might think that he always intended to be a pastor for motorcyclists. But as a pastor's son, the young Sean dreaded the idea of doing the same job as his father. And he admits that when he first felt compelled to take his ministry on the road, he didn't quite fit the biker mould.
'I was the squeaky clean preacher's kid who weighed nine stone soaking wet,' he explains. 'I was not the obvious choice to go marching into the environment of motorcycle clubs. But I felt called to connect with my mates in the biking community.'
Sean also ministers to other people he describes as outcasts, or people 'at the end of negative judgment'. Today Sean primarily works as a full-time pastor at Zac's Place, a church in Swansea with the tagline, 'A church for ragamuffins'.
'Zac's Place began 20 years ago,' Sean says. 'We were responding to a need from bikers, musicians and artists who wanted to discuss more about the Christian faith but weren't going anywhere near a church. We began holding regular Sunday night sessions in a bar in Swansea city centre, not knowing where it would lead.
'After about six years of gathering almost every Sunday night, people were asking for the sacraments of Communion and baptism, and there were people who had made a commitment to follow Christ. There were also people who were in recovery from alcohol addiction or needed to be, so the pub was not the best place for them to be. So we bought an old chapel and breathed some new life into it. Then we decided to serve people who we considered to be most vulnerable in the cit
Some 50 people are part of the Zac's Place church community. The church holds weekly worship services and reaches out to the wider community through the arts. It also provides practical support for people in crisis through its relationships with various charities.
Throughout the week, Zac's Place provides food for people who need it. During the winter months, it runs a night shelter for rough sleepers. On certain occasions, the church has also held health events to offer multiple medical screenings in one place for marginalised people.
'Zac's Place is about ordinary people working out what it is to follow Christ,' Sean says. 'And because we use the same space for feeding people and treating people at different times in the week, people feel quite comfortable just falling through the door as they are, in whatever state.'
Throughout his decades of ministry, Sean has taken encouragement from Jesus.
'I like the comparison with Jesus on the road with his mates,' he says. 'I think that whatever state of repair or disrepair we consider ourselves to be in, Jesus is not going to be the one who walks away and leaves us. He's still going to be alongside us, whatever the road brings.
'Where others may judge us, leave us or make decisions on whether we're worth it or not, these are non-negotiables in the presence of Jesus. With Jesus, we are loved and accepted despite what others say and what we think of ourselves.'

In my downtime this Holiday season, I have been exploring the potential ways for the P-16 Council to engage in a comprehensive effort to address the workforce and economic development needs in the region. From a series of discussions with stakeholders in the economic and workforce development industry, there seems to be an agreement on the goals for education and business & industry. However, the questions continues to center on what should be the first steps for this region.
From the advice given during these conversations, I will begin to share some helpful resources to consider when thinking about how can we collectively engage in an effective initiative to enhance our current footprint, with respect to economic and workforce development. For this entry, I will introduce the College Board and Advocacy Center. In my brief review of the site and the organization mission, there are some useful sources of content to help frame the discussion on how the community could enact positive change in college-preparedness in a given community. Please take a look at this page about college readiness counseling and let me know your thoughts. This organization also spells out there approach to innovation, and how advocacy plays an important role in the overall effort.
In any case, I encourage everyone to take a look at the site, and give me your thoughts on how this content may be useful to developing an agenda for the Council. I hope you find this useful.

Totally new Total PoliticsPosted by Ellee on Jun 23, 2008 in updates | 15 comments
Iain Dale has taken political blogging to a new dimension by launching Total Politics, an essential internet resource for political animals like myself.
Total Politics is Iain's brainchild and is also available as a printed edition which Iain hopes "will do for politics what GQ has done for men's fashion". Is that a reference to the snazzy ties Iain favours?
The website will contain most of the content of each issue of the magazine. It also aggregates all the political and journalists' blogs and I was interested to see that Labour bloggers (267) are ahead of Conservatives (268) by 1. It also hosts a collection of Political Quotations and a Political Speeches Database.
I would like to see the website include more links to worldwide political blogs so it becomes a unique source of leading international political blogs too. I would also like to see Total Politics encourage younger readers, to focus regularly on their political views and aspirations. We do have a youth parliament and these young people will be our future decision makers.
Iain is asking for feedback on the site, so do check it out. The magazine is available now at WH Smith and includes an exclusive interview with Gordon Brown, as well as the Australian political strategist Lynton Crosby. These are quality interviews which the mag will have to sustain to keep its readers hooked.
James Robinson tells us that copies of Total Politics, backed by Tory benefactor Michael Ashcroft, will be sent to every elected official in the land – from MPs to local councillors – giving it a controlled circulation of 23,000. But they also need to prove its viability by sales at the cash till.
I hope there are enough political enthusiasts to support this venture. And, of course, there is the irony of Iain promoting the printed media at a time when he enthuses the power of blogging. I don't have a problem with that as I am an avid fan of the printed media.
The question is whether enough Spectator and New Statesman readers will buy it as well as their favourite political read. And if readers can get the content free online, what is going to persuade them to subscribe to a printed version? Will there be enough advertisers to make it profitable during these times of economic gloom? I hope the magazine includes some gossip too, after all, what's politics without a few fun, bitchy comments?
Good luck Iain, I look forward to buying a copy, and thanks for including my link in your Political Blog Directory. I admire Iain's courage in launching new political media ventures, in trying to engage all political parties and the public in interaction.

Julia talks with Gesar Mukpo, son of Chogyam Trunpga, and incarnation of Jamgön Kongtrül of Sechen.
Thank you for inviting Gesar to Dispaches. Julia said it beautifully when concluding their discussion…."Your (Gesar's) willingness to be genuine, be true, to be true to your experience. will not buy something off the shelf as truth but will chew it, bite it, crunch it…let it be so." Yes, I do appreciate listening to Gesar's courage in sharing his burden and gift, his struggle and privilege. He illuminated many of the same questions I relate with each and every day. Again Julia presented the question very well…"What was it that he wanted us to understand? How do we lead our life in such a way that we clarify that answer?" (my addition) …..Beyond "should and suppose to".
Thank you Gesar for allowing me to experience the questions you grapple with. Very refreshing.
Love to all,
* * *
Just briefly listened to the Gesar interview – he seems more softer and reflective than I would have expected from the Dharmabrats website
-which is mad at times with cartoons and argument–but as he said argument is something to enjoy and not be frightened of aka also looking at the 'ugly' part of ourselves as he mentioned in the interview.
Interesting that he stated he was connecting with what Trungpa meant to him personally…………..avowing maybe other practices and traditions that have come into shambhala — myself would prefer shambhala to be much more open in this sense to others…………maybe a return to investigating how the dharma can be enjoyed in other areas of our lives besides formal meditation practice.
Will have to look at my own mind in regard to what Gesar has said perhaps reevaluate things a little…………..aka my own somewhat tentative 'understanding' of Trungpa and his teachings.
best, Rita Ashworth

Window Management on macOS
It's common knowledge that Apple and Microsoft have consistently copied ideas from each other, dating back to the early days. What's absolutely crazy is that macOS never properly copied window management that was introduced in Windows 7. At the very least, it's puzzling that Apple never built in the ability to use keyboard shortcuts to snap windows to the left or right half of the screen.
That problem has obviously been solved by a plethora of third party apps that utilize the Accessibility APIs provided by Apple. There's actually a ton of these apps, and many can do all sorts of cool window management tricks. When there's over 20 apps that all have this functionality, and one of them has been the top paid app in the Mac App Store for years, I think it's quite obvious that some better window management functionality should be built into macOS by Apple. Catalina will introduce some minor improvements to what macOS has built in, but I don't think it's enough to justify ditching any decent third party app.
Taking these ideas one step further, I've always been a fan of managing my windows with macOS gestures. I had actually written the Multitouch app with this idea in mind. Up till now, I have always wired up the Multitouch app's keyboard shortcut actions to a third party app's keyboard shortcuts for snapping windows. It's worked well, but it's a little painful getting it all set up. As of Multitouch v1.14, I've built the window management functionality into Multitouch itself, so there is no need for another third party app to perform these actions with the trackpad or Magic Mouse.
To add this functionality to Multitouch, I thought it might be best to see what kind of open source apps there were out there that already did this. That way I could build off of some "seasoned" code instead of starting from scratch and working my way through whatever comes my way. There's pros and cons to either way of going about it, but my path kind of laid itself out before me. The main open source window managers that could be useful to me were Amethyst and Spectacle. Multitouch is written in Swift, so my goal would be to get something in Swift that I could easily bake in. Amethyst is already in Swift, but it relied on other 3rd party libraries, and it had a lot of functionality to sift through. Spectacle is a pretty simple app, but it is Objective C (and JavaScript!?) and hasn't been updated in a couple of years. I decided to port Spectacle to Swift and release the port as yet another open source window management app for macOS. That way I could at least give something back in exchange for the knowledge and reference code I obtained.
Porting Objective C to Swift is a topic worthy of another post, but from all of this I created an app called Rectangle. Give it a try!
Back to the main reason for all of this: adding the functionality into Multitouch. The real benefit to having this built into Multitouch over just mapping keyboard shortcuts to another window management app is that you can now perform a window management action on the window that the cursor is over, not necessarily the frontmost window. This behavior isn't enabled by default — you'll have to go to the preferences and check the box for "Snap window under cursor". I'm tempted to make this enabled by default, though, because it just feels really smooth and intuitive. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Web Hosting Providers and How to Choose the Right One for You
If you are running a business that heavily relies on internet marketing and online transactions, the last thing you would want is for your web hosting service provider to be inconsistent when it comes right down to their service. Therefore, one of the most important things for you to do is to make sure that you choose the right web hosting service provider for your business because whether it be in the short or the long run, the one that will benefit from it will be you and your business. You need to know however, that there are more than just a few of them out there to choose from and the fact that they all claim to be the best is not going to make things any easier on your end because on the contrary, making a decision over the matter will be trickier with the added confusion.
Among the things you need to know in choosing the right web hosting service provider is that doing this in the proper manner will require you to take certain things into serious account first. Looking into the qualifications of the web hosting service provider would be among the first things you will have to do when it comes to this. Naturally, you will find that there are many qualified web hosting service providers out there and therefore, you will have to compare certain aspects in terms of their services. Reputability of the web hosting service provider is also considered to be very important and the how long they have been in business would also be a good thing to look into.
One of the things you should do when it comes right down to this is to gather as much information as you can because as far as making an informed decision is concerned, this is a necessary course of action for you to take. One of the things that you would have to check out would be the rating given by current and previous clients to the web hosting service providers since this is among the most vital pieces of information on your end. You will find that the review pages would be able to help you regarding this matter and you would also be able to get additional information from testimonials of previous clients. It would also be a good idea to check out other related articles for more tips in the matter and you would also be able to get more references from them in case you have a need for more.
