Landlords - Are you getting ripped off?

Landlords - Are you getting ripped off?

Landlords - Are you getting ripped off??

How does that affect us down in Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester?  Well, in fact it is quite common practice among agents to add considerable amounts to contractors' bills when they are charged out to Landlords.  Even if Landlords have sight of the original invoice this will not give the game away as contractors are contracted to give 'cash backs' to the agents.

If the contractor is VAT registered it can mean that you, the Landlord, are paying in excess of 50% more - for simple maintenance jobs - than is necessary.

My message here is simple: Martin and Co Weymouth never have and never will add any service charge to contractors' bills.  The price you pay is what the contractor gets.

Quite simply our intention is to keep costs to Landlords as low as possible whilst keeping your property in tip top condition and having happy tenants.

Next time you speak to your agent ask them how much they add to your contractors' bills. Then come and speak to us.

Latest model 'six times more powerful'

New faster Raspberry Pi 2 unveiled

A new and faster Raspberry Pi 2 model has been made available for sale at the same price as the previous B+ version.

The $35 micro-computer features a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU, which the organisation claims makes it six times more powerful than other models. As a result of the new processor, it can also run a number of operating systems such as Snappy Ubuntu Core and Windows 10, the latter of which will be free. It also houses 1GB of Ram and is compatible with the first Raspberry Pi.

Despite the new model’s release, the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+, B and B+ will continue to be available for sale as long as demand continues.

“There comes a point when there’s no substitute for more memory and CPU performance,” read a statement from Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton.

“Our challenge was to figure out how to get this without throwing away our investment in the platform or spoiling all those projects and tutorials which rely on the precise details of the Raspberry Pi hardware.

“Fortunately for us, Broadcom were willing to step up with a new SoC, BCM2836. This retains all the features of BCM2835, but replaces the single 700MHz ARM11 with a 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 complex: everything else remains the same, so there is no painful transition or reduction in stability.”

The Raspberry Pi was first launched in February 2012, and by August 2014 went on to sell more than three million units. You can read our recent interview with the non-profit foundation’s CEO Eben Upton on the credit-card sized computer’s rapid rise here.

Alabama coach Nick Saban says he wants his latest contract extension to keep him at the school until the end of his career.

The University of Alabama announced Monday that Saban has agreed to a contract extension through the 2028 season. This agreement with the university extends his current contract by three seasons.

Saban, 69, will turn 77 during the 2028 season. It isn't unprecedented for a Power Five coach to stay that long in the business. Bill Snyder was 79 when he stepped down at Kansas State in 2018.

“Terry and I are pleased and happy to sign another contract extension that will keep us in Tuscaloosa through the end of our career,” Saban was quoted as saying in a news release, referring to his wife, Terry Saban. “Our family calls Tuscaloosa and the state of Alabama home. It’s a place where our roots now run deep.

"This agreement gives us the chance to continue to impact the lives of the young men and their families who choose to play football and get an education at Alabama. We want to thank the Board of Trustees, Chancellor St. John, President Bell, Director of Athletics Greg Byrne, our athletics administration, the football staff and the whole University community for their support.”

The base salary and talent fee of $8.425 million for the current contract year will increase annually throughout the length of the contract. There will also be a contract completion benefit of $800,000 payable at the end of the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 contract years.

Saban is entering his 15th season at Alabama and has led the Crimson Tide to six national championships. Alabama has been ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Poll for at least one week for 13 straight years, which broke the record of seven established by Miami (1986-92). Alabama’s 127 wins over the past decade under Saban are the most for any FBS school during a 10-year span in the Associated Press poll era, which is since 1936.

“Coach Saban is the best college football coach in the nation, and one of the greatest coaches of all time in any sport, and we are extremely fortunate that he has agreed to another contract extension at Alabama,” Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne was quoted as saying in a news release. “From the success of his teams on the field, to the accolades off the field and the accomplishments in the classroom, we could not be prouder of this program and what Coach Saban has done to create a championship culture in all aspects.

"Not only has the impact been felt here at the university, but throughout the community and the state thanks to all he and Ms. Terry have done through the Nick’s Kids Foundation and beyond. They are incredible people, and we are very thankful to have them around for many years to come.”

In addition, the Crimson Tide’s 2020 Academic Progress Rate of 990 bettered the national average for FBS teams by 22 points.

“Coach Saban’s impact on The University of Alabama is immeasurable,” University of Alabama President Stuart R. Bell was quoted as saying in a news release. “What his teams have accomplished on the field is extraordinary. Moreover, he is dedicated to ensuring his student-athletes are successful beyond their sport with a stringent focus on their academics and personal development.

"We’re thrilled to have Nick and Terry Saban, who are among UA’s most distinguished ambassadors, leading by example and serving others in our community for many years to come.”

BOISE, IDAHO — Albertsons Cos. announced on March 18 plans to dedicate shopping hours for senior citizens and other at-risk populations, such as pregnant women or those with compromised immune systems.

According to the company, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. will be available only for vulnerable shoppers who must leave home to obtain groceries, unless there is local mandate against that. The mandate applies to Albertsons stores and all its banner stores.

“We are sensitive to the fact that everyone wants to make sure they have the items they need, and we also know that everyone wants their neighbors to stay safe and healthy, too,” said Vivek Sankaran, president and chief executive officer of Albertsons. “We are asking our customers to respect these special hours for those who are most at risk in our communities. We thank our customers in advance for their compassion and understanding toward their neighbors and friends, and in helping us maintain this temporary operations guideline.”

Advising System during
Foundations and Clerkship Levels

Policy 730.10

Policy Statement

The advising system begins upon matriculation when each student is assigned to a Professionalism, Communication & Reflection (PCR) course group, each of which is led by a faculty preceptor who serves as the student’s primary advisor during the Foundations level of the curriculum. Preceptors meet with students at least twice per year in their advising roles, in addition to their weekly interactions during PCR coursework, and are available to provide support and information as well as guide discussions of academic progress, career exploration, and wellness. During the twice-per-year advising meetings, students complete a form (either the Foundations One Meeting Form or the Foundations Two Meeting Form) that is modeled after the Careers in Medicine advising checklists.  The advising system was designed to be integrated into the curriculum in order to ensure its optimal use by students; most students do seek such advice and support primarily from the faculty preceptors of their PCR groups. Since PCR preceptors assess first-year students’ performances in the PCR course (which is graded on a pass/fail basis), students are not obligated to seek advice or counseling from those faculty members, though the vast majority of students do so and view the arrangement favorably. If a student expresses preference for an alternate advisor, the Associate Dean for Students will assign another advisor, who does not have responsibility for assessing student performance.

Week 4: The Clarity of the Craftsmen – Cal Newport

Cal Newport’s chapter surrounding the craftsmen mindset begins with an anecdote about a reasonably successful yet very modest musician and his strong devotion to getting better at guitar, spending hours a day practicing. From here, Newport uses the musician as a way of demonstrating the craftsmen mindset, and comparing it to the passion mindset. He very clearly favours the craftsmen mindset, as he uses another craftsman as an example, this time, comedian Steve Martin. He cites a quote from Martin on the question of basically ‘how do you make it?’. The quote reads ‘be so goos they can’t ignore you’. My initial reaction to this was kind of dismissive, likely due to me thinking something like ‘of course the hugely successful Steve Martin would say that’. But as I continued reading and thinking, the value of the comment became clearer, particularly when Newport described the idea as ’scary’ but ‘liberating’. This idea of being liberated or empowered by the idea that you just have to get really good, is an idea that quite works for me. Furthering his feelings, Newport explains how his frustration around blogging about things that ‘no one cared’ about was removed when he put aside the idea of ‘self-promotion’ and simply focussed on getting better. Needless to say, he states that the craftsmen mindset is ‘crucial for building a career you love’.

He then proceeds to takedown the ‘passion mindset’, describing it as a way of asking ‘what can the world offer you?’ as opposed to asking what you can offer the world. He does raise the common counter-argument that this idea gets, which is that people like the musician and Steve Martin had found their passion, and their craftsmen attitude came from this. Newport argues against this, explaining that someone like Steve Martin employed this mindset long before he was in a job he was fully passionate about. While I find his rebuttal somewhat effective, as it reminds us of the examples not being overnight successes, as well as very anxiety-ridden people, but I also can’t help but feel that the musician and Martin had found their passions – music and comedy, respectively – even if they hadn’t yet reached their ultimate goals.

So while I am not sure about Newport’s strong feelings against passion, I do find myself supporting his strong thoughts about craft.

The Godfather slot

HITMAN Slot game

UNDERBELLY is the compelling dramatisation of Melbourne's gangland killings.

Underbelly is an Australian television drama series, based on the real events of the 1995–2004 gang war in Melbourne. The series began screening on 13 February 2008 on the Nine Network (and affiliates) in all states and territories except Victoria, due to a court injunction. Underbelly is a 13-part mini-series, based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld, by Age journalists John Silvester and Andrew Rule.

The key players in Melbourne's criminal underworld, including the Moran family and their rival, the maverick Carl Williams, are featured using their real names.

The major factions, as presented in the story, are the Morans, including Lewis, Mark, and Jason Moran, the "Carlton Crew", which included Alphonse Gangitano, Domenic "Mick" Gatto, his lawyer George Defteros and Mario Condello, "the Russians", led by Nik "The Russian" Radev, and the Williams family, which included Carl Williams, Tony Mokbel, Andrew "Benji" Veniamin and, at different times, Victor Brincat and Dino Dibra.

The police investigators, Steve Owen and Jacqui James, are fictional, but based on an amalgam of several officers who worked on the Purana Task Force, which was charged with investigating the gangland war and halting the killing.

According to its marketing, the series "uses the framework of the murderous war between the two gangs, and the bigger moral war between the gangs and the Purana Task Force, to explore a complex array of individual stories and relationships - some touching, some incredible, all breathtaking - it is a mini-series that examines the kaleidoscopic nature of loyalty, love, revenge and pride when the normal and identifiable emotions of human attachment are moved from the context of social decency to social indecency.

Underbelly was filmed on location in Melbourne. Parts of the series have been filmed in the Essendon area, near many of the houses and schools associated with the 'Underworld'. Many of the Carlton scenes were actually filmed in North Melbourne, primarily around Errol Street. All La Porcella filming was done at Rubicon Restaurant Errol Street, the scenes involving Mario Condello loaning money was filmed at the Lithuanian Club North Melbourne, the location of Carl Williams first house is Duffy Street, Maribyrnong, jail visits were filmed in the players' change rooms at Telstra Dome, and a restaurant scene was also filmed outside the Medallion Club, Telstra Dome & scenes of when Mario Condello moves into a apartment is filmed at Victoria Point, Docklands. In some earlier scenes whereby witnesses were contained in witness protection caravans at Warrnambool, these were filmed in Werribee South.

The lead-up to Underbelly resulted in a heavy marketing campaign which covered radio, print, billboards and an increased online presence, including the use of social networking tools.

When the CEO of the Nine network, David Gyngell noted the need to up its online presence, and embrace social networking as a valuable marketing tool, the official website was launched. The original website was launched on 15 January 2008, with only a 3 minute trailer; while the full site, with all its features, launched on 1 February 2008. It was announced that the full first episode would be available for download on the site on 10 February, three days before the show premieres on television, but this option was made unavailable due to the Supreme court suppression case. This intention follows a similar strategy used for the launch of Sea Patrol in 2007. The site was "poised to become" the biggest and most detailed website the Nine Network has hosted for a show so far, including features such as behind the scenes footage, profiles, visitor interactivity and the use of social networking tools.

Critical response

The first episode of the series was screened privately to media on 17 January 2008, prior the media had been treated with extracts and trailers promoting the series.

* On 3 January 2008, The Sydney Morning Herald's critic Michael Idato declared the series "The Blue Murder of its time", referring to the critically acclaimed 1995 ABC TV drama Blue Murder, considered by many to be the finest crime drama ever produced in Australia.

* In review on his blog on 17 January 2008, David Knox, stated that Underbelly "is our own Sopranos", and awarded it 4½; out of 5 stars. He also commented:

“ If there are any criticisms to be found with Underbelly, they are few. One or two shots give away that period Melbourne was actually shot in 2007. And while watching these gangsters thrive on power with ballsy disdain, it was hard not to think of the behaviour of some television executives in recent history. This aside, Underbelly looks set to be one of the highlights of the 2008 television year.”

* A review appeared in the Herald Sun on 18 January 2008, in which critic Paul Anderson quoted:

“ "Whether you followed the Melbourne gangland war or not, there's a fair chance you will be blown away by the coming TV series Underbelly. Underbelly is a slick, violent and sexually charged dramatisation backed by a ripping soundtrack."

* In an article appearing on 31 January 2008, The Daily Telegraph's TV editor, Marcus Casey, said of Underbelly after viewing the first four episodes:

“ "If the quality is maintained then, while not perfect, Underbelly should equal, if not better, Australia's best ever crime dramas - the Phoenix series and Blue Murder."

Family Groups reaction

On 11 February the Australian Family Association (AFA), was publicly outraged that Underbelly would be screening at 8:30pm, well within reach of children, after clips of the series were leaked onto the internet. The clips highlighted the use of extreme profanities, and scenes that show a violent bashing, a cold-blooded murder, and a sexual encounter.

The Nine Network defended the timeslot and the M classification, saying the clips, leaked from the Network's production department, were indeed from the series, but not all of them made the final cut.[12] The Network set its own classification, under the accepted rules of the Australian Commercial Television Code of Conduct.

The Australian Family Association threatened to take the matter to Communications Minister Stephen Conroy if the content of the show was anything near that of an unauthorised promotional clip leaked from Nine's production department.

The opening double episodes, which aired on 13 February attracted 1,326,000 and 1,324,000 viewers nationally, minus Victoria, where a court ban prevented its screening. In Victoria alone, the series was expected to atrract 800,000 to 1 million viewers, which would have put Underbelly figures over the 2 million mark. The replacement movie for Underbelly in Victoria, The Shawshank Redemption, managed only 271,000 viewers.

The third episode, which aired on 20 February, managed to hold most of its viewers from its premiere, attracting 1,273,000 viewers nationally (except Victoria),[15] a decline of only 50,000 viewers. In Victoria, CSI: Miami was broadcast in Underbelly's place. The fourth episode, which aired on 27 February, managed to hold nearly all of its viewers from the previous episode, attracting 1,250,000 viewers nationally (except Victoria), a decline of only 23,000 viewers.

Though leaked copies of episodes one through to thirteen are available online, the show is continuing to attract huge television audiences, according to The West Australian.

Legal issues

Supreme Court writ threat

George Defteros, a high-profile lawyer cleared of charges relating to underworld war, disrupted the lead-up to the series' launch, when he threatened the Nine Network with a Supreme Court writ on 26 January 2008. Defteros, said to be portrayed by George Kapiniaris, engaged a top Melbourne defamation specialist, saying:
“ Any attempt to depict me as a lawyer of low impropriety and unethical behaviour will be met with legal proceedings instituted by my lawyers, I regard the depiction of the gangland wars, in particular my role as a lawyer acting for parties, as nothing more than farcical and pure pantomime. We'll be watching it very closely.”

Nine Network had subsequently said there would now be no direct reference to Mr Defteros, despite earlier publicity. A spokeswoman for the network said "There is no lawyer called Defteros in Underbelly" but Defteros said he could still be defamed by implication, noting "It's already been advertised as me".

The case was dropped by Director of Public Prosecutions Paul Coghlan, QC, due to a lack of evidence.

Supreme Court Suppression

The screening of Underbelly in Victoria was put into jeopardy, after last-minute legal proceedings took place due to the Director of Public Prosecutions, Jeremy Rapke, QC. Rapke secured an urgent viewing of the series, before he decided to seek an injunction stopping its broadcast in Victoria. A Supreme Court judge called prosecutors and defence lawyers together after serious concerns were raised about whether the show could prejudice a jury for the trial this year of a man who has pleaded not guilty to the 2004 gangland killing of Lewis Moran. Although the accused man is not named in the series, there are concerns the show could hurt his chance of a fair trial.

The Supreme court hearing took place on 11 February 2008 - only two days before the series' was due to premiere. The Nine Network was ordered by a DPP subpoena to hand over tapes of all 13 episodes, as well as outlines and story lines, to the Victorian Supreme Court by 10am on 11 February 2008.[22][23] The Nine Network, refused to voluntarily hand over the tapes, saying they were incomplete and that the network's lawyers were closely supervising production but the Network was willing to comply with any Court order and took this matter very seriously. The network is also adamant that the series makes no assertions about the guilt of the accused killer. The court subpoena stated that copies of two completed episodes, along with uncut versions of the other 11 episodes, plus episode outlines and story lines, must be handed to the court by 10am on 11 February. At the hearing, which took place at the Geelong Supreme Court, the judge, Justice Betty King, gave prosecution and defence lawyers 24 hours to view the series and return to court the following day to decide whether it had the potential to affect the forthcoming trial. Justice King issued a suppression order on 12 February banning the Nine Network from broadcasting the series in the state of Victoria and on the internet indefinitely, until after the murder trial is completed. It has also been ordered to remove character profiles from its official website. The Nine Network offered to air a heavily edited version in Victoria, but the offer was rejected by Justice King. It was initially planned that an alternative program, Underbelly: A Special Announcement, was going to air in Victoria instead of the series' premiere, which was to discuss what the series is about. This idea was scrapped, and the movie, The Shawshank Redemption, was aired in Victoria instead.

The Nine Network declared their intention to appeal against the decision, and Network lawyers stated that they would exercise all legal options.

The suppression also affects national audiences receiving transmissions from Imparja Television, a Nine Network affiliate. Imparja is unable to supply its interstate audiences with Underbelly, due to its single satellite signal broadcasts into its specific regions, but also transmits into some parts of Victoria, which is covered by the suppression order. Alternative programming will be shown until the restriction is lifted.

The appeal began on February 29, 2008 in the Victorian Court of Appeal,where Nine Network lawyers argued that the network should be allowed to broadcast the first three episodes of the series, saying Justice King had "erred" in her decision to suppress the series,as she had viewed the unedited versions of the series, and not the final edited cut that was to be shown to audiences.The network believed the first three episodes, which depicted events from the beginning of the underworld war in 1995, would have no potential to prejudice any part of the trial[29]. The trial in question is due to begin on March 31, 2008. The judges overseeing the appeal retired to decide their verdict on March 3, 2008.

The appeal's verdict was handed down on March 26, 2008, where the appeal's judges chose to continue a ruling by Justice King that the series is not to be broadcast or distributed in or out of Victoria. During the appeal the Nine Network had proposed to screen the first three episodes immediately after any successful appeal, and would give the court seven days written notice of its intention to show any further episodes that it believed would not prejudice the murder trial. The Court of Appeal had dismissed the network's application to appeal, and the network must now continue comply with the suppression order issued by Justice King until the offending trial is complete.

Illegal distribution

Despite the ban on broadcasting the series in Victoria, Victorians have still been able to access episodes via illegal online distribution. The first episode was made available on torrent sites within 20 minutes of it concluding in New South Wales. The Nine Network has reportedly obtained the "ISP address" of the first person to upload the show, and network lawyers were considering legal action. The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) is currently investigating the matter, and is expected to make a list of recommendations to Victoria Police.

Copies of advanced episodes of the series which are yet to air on the Nine Network have become available on the internet. Every episode of the 13-part series is available for download on a range of sites. It was reported that on mininova.org more than 3,000 users were attempting to download episode seven late on the afternoon of 27 February 2008. The Nine Network said it was considering legal action. The broadcaster is also looking into how copies got into the hands of underworld figures in Victoria, including Roberta Williams, the former wife of gangland kingpin Carl Williams.

Pirated copies of the entire series were also made available to the public. People were being offered a 4-disc DVD set for AUD $10 - $80 in public places such as carparks and building sites. The episodes were commercial-free and came with introductory station countdowns, suggesting a major leak from inside the network's production department. Two network employees had been questioned by the network over the matter, but both denied distributing any copies of the series.. Similarly, versions of episodes 10 - 13 which are currently available on peer to peer sites are clearly production (ie pre-broadcast) versions of these episodes. They feature the production house's title screen, occasional sequences of rough editing, and sub-broadcast quality sound issues such as large variations in levels and absent atmos tracks.

Fears of inside leaks were again aroused, when advance screener versions of unaired episodes 4-8 were posted online on 26 February 2008. Screener episodes are generally shown to select audiences, such as sales staff and executives, well in advance to being televised.

International distribution

The series will also air in New Zealand on TV3, Scandinavia, Canada and France. (Credit: Wikipedia).

Advanced Nutrients - pH Perfect Sensi COCO Grow A+B 4L

Attention: All Coco Coir Growers:
The Not So Little “Secret” To Faster Growth, Bigger Yields and Frightening Potency, Now Engineered Specifically For Coco Coir

Why You Need Coco Specific Nutrients…

pH Perfect Sensi Coco still has all the benefits of the original and in addition it’s been optimized specifically for Coco Coir growers.

Here’s the unique science behind this development…

It’s a known fact coco coir naturally attracts and binds to calcium and magnesium.

This means your average nutrients will have a greater percentage of their Ca and Mg bound to the growing medium and not transported to your plants (where you want them)… potentially starving your precious crops!

What’s more: coco coir contains high levels of naturally occurring potassium… and… if you fail to account for this already present amount of potassium your risk poisoning your plants via potassium toxicity!

That’s why resourceful growers have been forced to get around these problems by watching their potassium levels by using so-called “coco” nutes and investing in cal-mag supplements to try and dial things in…

However, even when using these methods, growers were still running into weird nutrient deficiencies…

Breakthrough Science Reveals The “Missing Link” To The Coco Puzzle…

The research team at Advanced Nutrients found the hidden flaw of most “coco” nutrients…

As it turns out, the missing link for growing in Coco Coir is iron.

Yes, your high-value crops not only need extra calcium and magnesium when growing in coco coir, but also extra iron.

In fact, until recently, nobody had discovered this – it’s why other supposedly “coco friendly” nutrients can still allow deficiencies in your crop to occur, no matter how well you grow.

This breakthrough science is the foundation of our Advanced Coco line of nutrients.

Ott DeFoe Wins MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Three on the Harris Chain of Lakes

Tennessee pro becomes the second Mercury Pro Team angler to reach three BPT wins

On the Water
Ott DeFoe Wins MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Three on the Harris Chain of Lakes

Mercury Pro Team angler Ott DeFoe, of Blaine, Tennessee, won the Major League Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Stage Three held May 21-26 on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Leesburg, Florida. It was DeFoe’s second win of the 2021 Bass Pro Tour season – he also won Stage One on Sam Rayburn Reservoir – and his third Bass Pro Tour win in three years. The win earned DeFoe another $100,000 top prize and tied him with Jacob Wheeler as the only pros with three career Bass Pro Tour wins.

Mercury Marine ott DeFoeDeFoe caught 30 bass weighing 73 pounds, 14 ounces to earn his first career win in the state of Florida. He adds the Sunshine State to the list of states where he’s won major bass tournaments. The others: Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Wisconsin and Texas.

While considered one of the best in the business at lure presentation, DeFoe is a master at locating fish on any body of water, whether it be a river, impoundment, natural lake or the Great Lakes.

That knack for finding fish was never more evident than this recent triumph on the Harris Chain. Finding the winning fish didn’t happen right away, and the devout DeFoe wouldn’t even take credit for it happening.

“This is surreal right now,” he said after the win. “After the way this week started, this doesn’t even make sense. I give God all of the glory and credit for this win. My decision-making process took me to Lake Griffin the first day, but I had a terrible first day and had to completely change strategies.

“On day two, I stayed here on Lake Harris and pulled up to start on a grass point that had a dock nearby that I could almost cast to. It was divine intervention that told me to start there. I ended up catching almost 40 pounds off that dock. I truly give God all the credit for that. Sometimes he closes a window to open a door, and that’s what happened for me that day.”

DeFoe ended up staying in that general area on the south end of Lake Harris, targeting grass and docks for the remainder of the event.

Ott DeFoe Mercury Marine“The area was really good, and you could work it in a lot of different places,” DeFoe said. “The big thing for me was not cranking my motor. Once I went into that stretch, I just put a bait in the water, and I fished in and I fished out and really maximized my time. I ended up having two things going – a really, really shallow deal and a deal on the outside edges of the Kissimmee grass.”

The Key to Finding Fish

So how is DeFoe so good at putting himself in a location that is chock-full of bass?

“The biggest thing is looking for life in the water,” DeFoe said. “Finding areas that hold spawning habitat, bait forage and healthy water quality is crucial. They seem simple, but they are the key elements. Finding a place where the fish can spawn and then figuring out what food is there for them to eat is so important.”

DeFoe uses several techniques for finding and identifying the best forage.

“Finding bait is a little different process at each fishery,” he explained. “This week, locating the bait was primarily visual. The baitfish were spawning in the mornings when it was still and calm. I could see them flipping around on the surface. I also saw many birds, white egrets and herons, and they showed me where the bait was.

“A lot of times, finding bait is done using electronics. My Humminbird® electronics show me balls of bait clear as day. As the day goes on and the bait isn’t visible, the electronics are critical. In the final period of the Championship Round, I came to a point in the grass, looked down at my graph and the bait was all over the screen.”

DeFoe said he caught a number of scorable bass on a swim jig during the week, but his key bait was his signature-series Rapala® OG Slim™ Crankbait (OG is short for Ott’s Garage). Both lures mimicked the forage he had located.

Ott DeFoe Mercury Marine“One thing that weekend anglers do, and I’ve been guilty of this as well, is not spending enough time in an area where I got some bites,” DeFoe added. “You’ll catch a fish here, one there and then maybe another 100 yards away. A lot of times, we just think the fish are spread out and keep moving. I was reminded this week you can turn around and fish back through the area. There are more fish there that didn’t bite the first time. It doesn’t always happen like that, but a lot of times, we get a bite or two and don’t realize how many fish are in such a small area.”

Going into the third and final competition period Wednesday, DeFoe had a very slim lead. Bobby Lane and Mercury Pro Team anglers Brent Chapman, Andy Montgomery and Skeet Reese were all looming and very much in contention. DeFoe mentioned to his cameraman that whoever caught the most fish in Period 3 would earn the victory. DeFoe then caught fire, catching 15 bass that weighed 41 pounds, 6 ounces in the third period alone, and he was able to run away from the pack.

“That third period was going to have to be my best period of the whole day, and I’m just so thankful that it was,” DeFoe said. “That was a crazy end to this whole deal. A win doesn’t happen often, so I am cherishing this moment.”

DeFoe earned the win by 27 pounds, 1 ounce – a new Bass Pro Tour record for the largest margin of victory.

Here’s the complete top 10 from the MLF Bass Pro Tour Stage Three on the Harris Chain of Lakes:

  1. Ott DeFoe, Blaine, Tenn., 30 bass, 73-14, $100,000
  2. Bobby Lane, Lakeland, Fla., 22 bass, 46-13, $45,000
  3. Brent Chapman, Lake Quivira, Kan., 21 bass, 45-7, $38,000
  4. Andy Montgomery, Blacksburg, S.C., 17 bass, 41-10, $32,000
  5. Skeet Reese, Auburn, Calif., 14 bass, 37-15, $30,000
  6. Michael Neal, Dayton, Tenn., 14 bass, 32-10, $26,000
  7. Jeff Sprague, Point, Texas, 12 bass, 28-14, $23,000
  8. Brett Hite, Phoenix, Ariz., eight bass, 27-14, $21,000

  10. Greg Vinson, Wetumpka, Ala., nine bass, 21-0, $16,000

Mercury Pro Team angler Britt Myers of Lake Wylie, South Carolina, won the $3,000 Berkley Big Bass award for the largest bass of the event with a 9 1/2-pound largemouth he landed on day one of competition.

The 2021 Bass Pro Tour resumes competition at Lake Chickamauga in Dayton, Tennessee, June 4-9 for Stage Four.

Mesa Verde Country has a wide variety of opportunities for sightseeing and recreation. We have gathered a bit of information about some things you might enjoy doing:

Flavors of the Old West
Outdoor Activities

Mesa Verde National Park

Visitors from all over the world come to Mesa Verde RV Resort to see the ruins and learn about the ancient cultures at Mesa Verde National Park. Visitors spend from one to three days exploring the park, depending on how much they want to explore. Many of the sites can only be visited on ranger-led tours, so we recommend getting in touch with the Mesa Verde Visitors’ Center ahead of time. Click on the image at left to go to the Mesa Verde NP website.

Hovenweep National Monument

Hovenweep National Monument protects six prehistoric, Puebloan-era villages spread over a twenty-mile expanse of mesa tops and canyons along the Utah-Colorado border. Come see multi-storied towers perched on canyon rims and balanced on boulders. The Square Tower Group is the primary contact facility with a visitor center and interpretive trail. Other groups (or villages) include Cajon, Cutthroat Castle, Goodman Point, Hackberry, Holly and Horseshoe. Human habitation at Hovenweep dates to over 10,000 years ago when nomadic Paleoindians visited the Cajon Mesa to gather food and hunt game.

Cortez Cultural Center

Housed in a historic 1909 building, the Cortez Cultural Center contains a wealth of information on archaeology and American Indian culture. The Center’s Museum displays interpretive exhibits on the Basketmaker and Pueblo periods of the Ancestral Pueblo people. Also featured are: displays from the Ute Mountain Ute, Pueblo, and Navajo tribes, traveling exhibits, art gallery, Native American Dances, storytellers, artists, and historians. A Farmer’s Market is held at the Center throughout the summer and fall every Saturday morning. Weekly lectures, slide shows, and music programs are offered September through May.

Anasazi Heritage Center and Escalante Ruins

The Anasazi Heritage Center is a federal museum, research center, and curation facility that introduces visitors to Four Corners prehistory. Approximately three million records, samples, and artifacts from public lands throughout southwestern Colorado form the Center’s holdings. Please Touch the Exhibits!! Exhibits in the museum encourage visitor interaction with computers, microscopes, corn grinding implements, a loom and other weaving materials, and “touch me” drawers.The Heritage Center is also the visitor center for the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.

Canyon of the Ancients National Monument and Lowery Pueblo Ruins
There are over 6,000 archaeological sites in Canyon of the Ancients NM. The most well-known is named for homesteader George Lowry, this site is typical of the medium-sized pueblos that once dotted the Montezuma Valley. Unlike most sites, two different cultural traditions are evident at Lowry. Portions of the pueblo are similar to early styles of Chacoan architecture and later additions are more characteristic of those styles found at Mesa Verde. There are few roads in the monument, and existing roads are fairly rough. It is a place you can hike and explore on your own. Please get information at the Anasazi Heritage Center before you go.

Four Corners National Monument

The only place in the United States where you can stand in four different states at the same time: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah! The monument is located in the desert on the Navajo Indian Reservation. There is a small visitor center, some Navajo arts and craft booths, picnic tables and portable toilets. There is a small fee charged per vehicle. This monument is only about two hours from Mesa Verde National Park and provides some unique photo opportunities.

Crow Canyon Archeological Center

This center is dedicated to understanding, teaching, and preserving the rich history of the ancient Pueblo Indians who inhabited the canyons and mesas of the American Southwest. Since 1983, Crow Canyon researchers have studied in detail the archaeology of the Mesa Verde region and shared the results of this research in experiential education programs. Thousands of people of all ages have been actively engaged in learning about the past in Crow Canyon’s exciting hands-on programs.

San Juan Skyway (the Million Dollar Highway)

Travel to the top of the world and back in time on the San Juan Skyway. Discover history and high times in the streets, gold mines, and railway stations of towns like Durango, Silverton, and Telluride. Enjoy rafting and water sports on the Animas River, or fish and boat on McPhee Lake, the second largest lake in Colorado. Join the many visitors who converge on the Byway each year for bluegrass, jazz, folk, and film festivals. The Skyway is your open invitation to five million acres of the San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests. Experience the ancestral homes of the Puebloan Indians at Mesa Verde, once voted the number one historic monument in the world. Enjoy it all on this 236-mile sampler of the best the southwest has to offer! Mesa Verde RV Resort is on the San Juan Highway.

Qualitative and Quantitative

Qualitative and Quantitative

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

When we say that the sea is blue or that a person is tall, our description is qualitative. We become aware of the qualitative features of the physical world from the earliest stages of our development. Many of these features impress us greatly and pleasantly. At one time or another we have all been struck by the beautiful sunset, the colorful rainbow, or the majestic mountain. We recognize colors, enjoy music, distinguish the hard from the soft, the smooth from the rough. On the other hand, there are also many qualitative aspects of the world that are by not apparent to us. Thus we do not ordinarily perceive that the atmosphere is made up of different kinds of gases or that a magnetic field is associated with the earth.

The quantitative aspects of the world refer to numbers and to mathematical relationships that can be associated with things and processes.  The heights of mountains, the distances of stars, the amount of rainfall in a region in the course of a year, wind speed: these involve quantitative descriptions.

Generally speaking, though not always, it is possible to associate a quantitative aspect with a qualitative description. The physicist is primarily interested in the quantitative aspect. The lad who narrates the story in  Saint Exupery’s Little Prince complains that grown‑ups are so much obsessed with figures that when they are told that one has made a friend, rather than ask about his hobbies and interests they are eager to find about his age, the number of people in his family, the amount of money his father makes, and so on [30]. Giving some margin for a slight exaggeration, this is a good description of the physicist’s attitude to the world of phenomena.

This is what  John Milton, the poet,  says about the moon in his Paradise Lost:

            ………………….. the moon,
            Rising in clouded majesty, at length
            Apparent queen unveil’d her peerless light
            And o’er the dark her silver mantle threw.

Valmiki, a great Sanskrit poet, wrote: “The moon, which removes the world’s nocturnal darkness, rises; and while radiating coolness, by its sheer splendor it gives joy to the minds of beings living on earth.”

But the moon will be described very differently in an astronomy text. Here we may read, for example, that the moon is some 384, 404 km from the earth, that its sidereal day is 27.322 days, that it reflects only about a fourteenth part of the light it receives from the sun, etc.

The way quantitative aspects enter physics is as follows: The ultimate aim of physics is to give coherent descriptions of phenomena and processes that occur in the physical world. Descriptions involve adjectives: good, bad, big, small, hot, cold, ugly, beautiful, strong, weak, fast, flow, etc.

Often such descriptions can be expressed on a comparative scale. Thus we say that something is larger, prettier, hotter, etc. than something else. Now we may go a step further. Once the comparison is established we ask, “By how much?” But this question may not always be answerable. For example, we can say by how much the area of New York is greater than that of Tokyo, but we cannot say by how much the music of Thyagaraja is more (or less) beautiful than that of Bach, or by how much the philosophy of Plato is more (or less) profound than that of Shankara.

Whenever the question, By how much? can be answered we have a situation where measurement is possible. In such cases we can associate numbers with the physical feature considered. We say then that we are dealing with a metric aspect of the world, with a physical quantity.

Many such quantities arise in the course of everyday life. The volume of a bottle, the weight of a baggage, the speed of a train, the time it takes to read this page: all these are examples of physical quantities. Some of them have entered the common vocabulary of the language because of the roles they play in technological societies. Thus we speak of 92.5 megahertz on the radio dial, the 75 watt lamp, and a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

The physical world has not only beauty and grandeur but also harmony and interconnectedness. We can not only feel and experience, but also measure and calculate. It would be wrong to think that physicists are uninterested in or insensitive to the aesthetic and qualitative aspects of the world. But in their efforts to explain the features of the world they have found it to be far more fruitful to focus on its quantitative aspects.

Home Tip: Tips for Getting Your Stainless Steel to Sparkle

From appliances and sinks to trash bins and storage containers, stainless steel is in our kitchens. We love it for many reasons. It’s a streamlined, polished look; its non-porous surface resists bacteria; and it’s highly resistant to corrosion and heat damage. home sweet home written on a whiteboard next to a small potted plant

One of the drawbacks of stainless steel, however, is that it shows everything: fingerprints, splatters, water drips and even Fido’s nose print. Keeping your stainless steel appliances clean doesn’t need to be difficult, but it does require some specific cleaning methods.

First, some don’ts when it comes to cleaning stainless steel:

  • Don’t use abrasive cleaning products, steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads. These can leave scratches on the surface.
  • Don’t use cleaning products that contain chlorine.
  • Don’t clean your stainless steel oven (or other appliances) unless it is cool to the touch.
  • Don’t use excessively hard water (filter it first, if you must), as it can leave spots.

Now some tips for getting your stainless steel to sparkle:

  • Select a cleaning product that is specific to use on stainless steel.
  • Use vinegar to do a preliminary clean of your stainless steel surface. Place white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray liberally. Use a paper towel or soft cloth to wipe.
  • Always, always, always wipe with the grain of the stainless steel. Begin at the top of the appliance and work your way down.
  • For grease or baked-on food, use warm soapy water and a nylon sponge. Be sure to wipe down again with clean water and a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
  • Consider buffing your appliances with stainless steel polish or lemon oil from time to time to rejuvenate that lustrous finish.

We are open,click here for our COVID guidelines.

  • Glanders (Farcy)

Glanders is one of the oldest known diseases of the horse. It has now been eradicated in the United Kingdom and much of the world, although it is still reported in the Middle East, Pakistan, India, China, Brazil and Africa.

The disease is caused by a bacterium called Burkholderia mallei and is a zoonosis, that is, infectious to people, with a 95% fatality rate, if untreated.

The disease is characterised by nodules or ulcers on the skin and in the respiratory tract, but is more often seen in a chronic or latent form. These chronically infected horses act as a reservoir of disease. Glanders is contracted by ingestion of food or water contaminated with nasal discharges of carrier animals or by ingestion of contaminated meat from infected horses. After an incubation period of 3 days to 2 weeks animals can develop acute or subacute respiratory symptoms or cutaneous symptoms.

Acute respiratory glanders is mainly seen in asses and mules,who are most severely affected. Symptoms include high fever, cough, nasal discharge and ulcers on the nasal mucosa. As the disease progresses respiratory signs develop and the animals often die.

The chronic disease is more often seen in horses and is commonly seen with both the cutaneous and respiratory forms, symptoms are slower to develop. In the respiratory form symptoms include; ulcers in the nasal passages, with nasal discharge, chronic pneumonia and scaring of the submandibular lymph nodes. In the cutaneous form (‘farcy’) nodules appear to course along the lymph nodes and degenerate to form ulcers that discharge a highly contagious sticky pus. The liver and spleen may also develop similar nodules.

Clinical signs develop when the disease is well advanced so diagnosis is best made by the use of diagnostic such as CFT antibody test or PCR test of infected skin tissue. Treatment of Glanders with antibiotics can be attempted in endemic countries, but often results in latent disease. In counties where Glanders has been eradicated, animals with confirmed disease are euthanased and  in contact animals are tested to monitor disease status.

Watch Brie Oakley Run No. 2 All-Time In Brooks PR Two Mile

SEATTLE, (WA) - University of California signee Brie Oakley, a Grandview (Co.) High graduate, dropped a new Brooks PR meet record and US No. 2 all-time mark in the 2-mile on Saturday.

Oakley's time of 9:51.35 breaks the old record time of 9:53.54 set by Bethan Knights in 2014.

The mark, although No. 2 all-time, is the fastest ever outdoor high school 2-mile. Mary Cain holds the national record from 2013 when she ran 9:38.68 indoors.

In the same race, London Culbreath, of McKinney North (Tx.) High, set a new freshman national class record. Her time of 10:04.73 was good for fourth overall. The time converts to 9:20.1 for 3K, which outpaces Jordan Hasay's national freshman record of 9:26.32 for 3K and 10:07.56 for 3200m from 2006.

Check out the results and more interviews, race videos, and photos from Brooks PR Invitational below.
