Day 966

Straight from the doctor's report on the ultrasound I had the other day:
"worsening disease activity as compared to prior scan despite infusions."

That'll start your day off well. Add to that another trip to the eye doctors, a follow up from a couple weeks ago. Did you know you can have arthritis of the eye? That's enough to keep your day rolling smoothly. I so wanted to try and go shopping by myself but between a meeting this morning, those two wonderful pieces of news, three separate conversations with three other doctor's offices...and I was defeated. Defeated and tired.

So here we go again. Another night of collapsing in the chair unable to move. I'm not sure any stockings will get sewn together tonight. If I get a burst of energy I'll get there. Otherwise it's time to keep admiring things in my Joann's box. Pretty fabric and thread snips. I love thread snips!

Margaret River winemakers have voted overwhelmingly in support of retaining the Wallcliffe name as a sub-region, in a challenge to LVMH-owned Cape Mentelle.

Vineyards in Wallcliffe

The vote, held at an emergency winemakers’ meeting this week, means the Margaret River Wine Association will now pursue legal recognition for Wallcliffe as a geographical indication.

The outcome also supports the stance of Flametree and Preveli wineries, who are locked in a dispute with Cape Mentelle over the use of Wallcliffe on labels. Cape Mentelle has claimed trademark rights on the term.

The decision on whether winemakers can use Wallcliffe in their wine marketing is now under consideration by Cape Mentelle’s general manager Rob Mann.

‘We already own three Wallcliffe trademarks: Wallcliffe Winery, Wallcliffe Vineyard and Wallcliffe Estate,’ he said. ‘We have over 40 years’ association with the term Wallcliffe and a longstanding Wallcliffe branded wine in the market. It is an important part of the Cape Mentelle business and we need time to consider the next step.’

Flametree’s general manager, Cliff Royle, said, ‘Cape Mentelle does not own Wallcliffe and its application to trademark the name is in revocation status. I only hope the voice of our Association members to retain Wallcliffe as a sub-regional name will be heard by LVMH.’

One of Margaret River’s founders, Vanya Cullen of Cullen Wines, said it was important to protect Wallcliffe’s historical significance to the region.

‘We can’t rewrite history. There is an emotional attachment to Wallcliffe and this dates back to 1865 when our region was founded. The understanding of the land in the wine is the most exciting part of Margaret River wine and the deeper understanding comes from sub-regional and single site evolution.’

Putin strips for stardom, again

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin with a horse during his vacation outside the town of Kyzyl, Siberia, on Monday.  AFP

Two state-owned Russian television channels launched the frenzy Tuesday night, broadcasting video of Putin’s gym-toned arms chopping through the water in a butterfly stroke and others showing him riding bare-chested on horseback.Within hours, everyone from the BBC to the tabloids seized on the story, apparently grateful for a bit of middle-aged beefcake in August, the slowest of news months. Moscow invented the cult of personality, and Putin has long been touted as a kind of post-Soviet superman here.
But what did the rest of the world find so mesmerising about pictures of a 56-year-old politician stripped to the waist, rowing a raft, fishing, snapping bits of wood and going for a swim? After all, Putin is not nearly as buff as Barack Obama, who made headlines of his own in December when he was snapped shirtless in Hawaii. Perhaps it was the notion that a former KGB lieutenant colonel regarded as the shadowy power behind President Dmitry Medvedev’s throne would bare much, if not all, for the cameras. “I know what Vladimir Putin did last summer,” Canada’s National Post crowed in its headline.

“Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sure does love the spotlight,” the Post declared. “... There are enough photos here that the former KGB agent could easily put out a calendar.” “Rootin’ Tootin’ Putin,” the New York Post trumpeted, alluding to Putin’s resemblance to the grizzled cowboys in Marlboro cigarette ads. The Guardian in Britain edged toward psychoanalysis in an article headlined online: “Vladimir Putin’s tough-guy swimming technique.”

Putin’s butterfly stroke, the Guardian scribe wrote, evoked the fragrant atmosphere of the locker room.

“It may have a fug of raw, sweating masculinity about it, but it’s also the most irritating of all strokes. It’s splashy and unsociable, an uncompromising stroke that pays no heed to the elderly gentleman choking on chlorinated backwash in the neighbouring municipal lane.” The photo extravaganza was only the latest stunt intended to keep Putin in the Russian public eye.

It wasn’t even Putin’s first topless wilderness photo op: Similar pictures were produced during a 2007 summer fishing trip to Siberia with Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Sonia warns of action against MPs skipping parliament

"She has taken an extreme view of it (Monday's incident). She has asked for the list of the party MPs who were not present in the house Monday. And action will be taken against those who take parliamentary proceedings in such a light manner," said a Congress leader close to Gandhi.

He said the party leadership was not satisfied by the explanations given by the MPs for missing parliament Monday.

"Most of the MPs have said their flight got delayed and train got delayed... while explaining the reasons for their absence. Such excuses are not acceptable," the leader said.

"It was a lesson to learn," admitted Congress MP Shruti Choudhary, who was absent along with her party colleagues Harsh Vardhan, Madhu Goud Yaskhi, Anto Antony, Vikrambhai Arjanbhai Maadam, P.T. Thomas, Kodikkunnil Suresh, Jhansi Lakshmi and Eknath Gaikawad.

They were among the 34 MPs with questions listed against their names who were not in the house during question hour Monday.

Seeking out Hollywood for robust narratives

Seeking out Hollywood for robust narratives

When Pete Samuels, a founder and the chief executive of Supermassive Games, began working on a survival horror adventure video game called "Until Dawn" in 2015, he knew he wanted the story to unfold like that of a horror film.

So he turned to Hollywood. Samuels sought out Larry Fessenden, an American screenwriter and director whose credits include the horror films "Wendigo" and "The Last Winter," and the screenplay for "Orphanage," an in-development English language remake of the Spanish horror film "El Orfanato" from director Guillermo del Toro.

"The gaming audience is growing, and tastes are broadening," Samuels said. "Great films and great television that tell good stories are more widely available to many more people than ever before, and there's definitely an increasing population of the gaming audience that are enthusiastic for games with a thoughtfully constructed narrative."

In an era of prestige television, high-quality streaming services and indie films that sometimes haul in blockbuster box office receipts, video games are facing stiff narrative competition. So video game creators are increasingly turning to film and television writers to help craft their stories.

In 2014, Sledgehammer Games worked with Hollywood screenwriter Mark Boal (his credits include "The Hurt Locker" and "Zero Dark Thirty") on the story for the first-person shooter "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare." That same year, former Pixar writer Stephan Bugaj worked with Telltale Games to develop a narrative for the studio's popular episodic adventure game series "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead."

Last December, Naughty Dog, the studio behind blockbuster action-adventure franchises like "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us," announced that Halley Gross, a writer and story editor on HBO's "Westworld," would help write the studio's coming game, "The Last of Us Part II." The game will follow its two protagonists, Ellie and Joel, as they make their way across post-apocalyptic America fighting off zombielike monsters.

Video game fans have long signaled their appreciation for narrative games. Action-adventure games, which typically have more complex story lines, are among the top three genres for PC games, console games and mobile games, according to Newzoo, a video game marketing intelligence company. In April, the Entertainment Software Association released a survey that found that 59 percent of gamers consider the story when buying a title; it was the third-highest influencing factor behind quality of graphics and price.

But writing for a video game can present hurdles for television and film writers. That's because unlike film and TV audiences, gaming audiences are not passive spectators. With a story-based game, you expect to be able to exercise some agency over how the story unfolds - or at least to experience the story in a way that feels more intimate and personal than a film or television show. Writers have to take that interactivity into account.

With "The Last of Us Part II," Gross approached that challenge together with Neil Druckmann, Naughty Dog's creative director. Gross, who is a gamer, said she signed on for the project because it was an opportunity to learn more about making games while working with characters she was already familiar with.

"I believe storytelling in games has the opportunity to create an unmatched level of empathy," Gross said. "You're not just a spectator. You're experiencing someone's journey firsthand."

At the outset, they approached the game similar to the way they would a season of television, said Gross, with the two brainstorming the entire story line and figuring out major milestones for the narrative. Once those were in place, the similarities between writing for television and games fell away.

"In television, you're collaborating with other writers," Gross said, and "only once the script is in a fairly locked form do other departments get involved," she explained. "At Naughty Dog, each narrative beat is infused with not just the ideas of the writers, but also by design, art, and more."

Gary Whitta, whose film-writing credits include "The Book of Eli," "After Earth," and last year's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," said he had seen how storytelling went from nonexistent in games to becoming "more the standard." Whitta, who got his start as a gaming journalist, has consulted on narrative and story development for a number of video games, including Microsoft's popular first-person shooter series "Gears of War."

Over time, Whitta said, he figured that his skills would be less needed in the video game industry. That's because he expected storytelling to become more developed in the industry itself.

"As the skill sets become more mature, developers will devote more internal resources to it, developing their own story talent," he said.

For now, building robust and dynamic stories can still be difficult, especially in games that have several outcomes depending on what each player decides. When developing the story for "Until Dawn," for example, Fessenden worked with a collaborator, the writer and director Graham Reznick, whose credits include the 2008 experimental horror feature film "I Can See You." Together, they crafted a creepy cabin-in-the-woods story focused on a group of teenagers.

The game was conceived as a first-person game, which Reznick said felt "much less cinematic." Supermassive Games then decided to switch to a third-person perspective, and began employing techniques usually reserved for films, like fixed camera angles, editing between shots, and high resolution facial capture for the actors.

"This let us actually write dialogue and express ideas closer to how we would in film - a loaded glance in a cutaway could be much more powerful than a line of dialogue shouted from offscreen," Reznick said.

In the game's final version, players can alternate among characters during the game, making decisions that affect the outcome. The game, which features the voices and likeness of actors Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere, was released on the PlayStation 4 in 2015. It later won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for its originality.

Treading along the 'dangerous' path

Treading along the 'dangerous' path

When Finance Minister Arun Jaitley arrived at the Parliament on February 1, his task was cut out -- to present a balanced budget.

After the initial euphoria over rural focus, came the jolt. As the numbers were dissected, came out a grim picture. While on one hand the government missed on its fiscal deficit targets, on the other hand, the Finance Minister has yet again pegged hopes on ad-hoc measures for 2018-19 deficit targets. The government is aiming to generate Rs 80,000 crore from divestment drive.

For FY18, total revised estimates for expenditure are pegged at Rs 21.57 lakh crore (net of GST compensation transfers to the States) as against the Budget Estimates of Rs 21.47 lakh crore, breaching the fiscal deficit target by 30 basis points (bps). The new target for the fiscal deficit is stipulated at 3.5%, as against Budget estimate of 3.2%. Moreover, for FY19, there is a mere consolidation of 20 bps.

"The Finance Minister's budget speech had the undertones of a pre-election budget, in our view. However, the actual increase in rural spending is not much. Fiscal consolidation by 20 bps of GDP also means no growth boost," UBS, one of the world's top asset managers, said in a research note.

While the deficit for 2017-18 has been revised to Rs 5,94,849 crore, for next fiscal it has been pegged at Rs 6,24,276 crore, which is 3.3% of GDP. Many, like UBS, have raised concerns on inflation in the economy owing to this.

The government has committed to keep MSPs (support prices) for crops at 1.5 times their cost of production. This implies a potentially higher hike in June 2018. "Our analysis (inside) implies this could mean a 15-20 bps impulse to CPI inflation by itself," says UBS.

Manufacturing ignored

Make In India, one of the pet projects of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, found a mention just twice in the Budget speech. One was the casual reference, wherein Jaitley said, "Initiatives such as Digital India, Start Up India, Make in India would help India establish itself as a knowledge and digital society."

The only push Finance Minister gave to Make in India, was that of increasing customs duty on certain items. The government has proposed to increase customs duty on mobile phones from 15% to 20%, on some of their parts and accessories to 15% and on certain parts of TVs to 15%. This might prove very fatal, at the time the country has been given the vision of going digital.

Though many analysts that DH spoke to suggest that there is lot of over-production in the manufacturing side, and this move might be aimed at clearing inventories. However, if Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data is any indication of the industry mood, the consumer durable credit has been gradually going down. In this financial year it has declined by 13.6%, from Rs 2,080 crore in the beginning of the year to Rs 1,820 crore as of November 24, 2017. Many economists attribute this downfall to the high Goods and Services Tax rates.

Also, there wasn't much in the budget for the manufacturing sector, which has shown a steep decline in growth -- by 330 basis points, from 7.9% in FY17 to 4.6% in FY18. In fact, the growth in the total value added by manufacturing sector has declined by 57% since FY16, when it stood at 10.8%.

LTCG shocks markets

The biggest immediate dampener came from the equities side -- in the form of the introduction of a long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax on equities. Both 30-share index Sensex and 50-share Nifty reacted negatively next day. While Sensex shed 840 points, Nifty fell by 256 points.

Further, sharp revisions in almost all budget items for FY18 raise doubts over the sanctity of FY19BE numbers, according to Market advisory Motilal Oswal. "It is also notable that capital spending is budgeted to fall to 1.6% of GDP in FY19BE â€“ the lowest in the past half a century versus 1.8% in FY17," the advisory says in a note.

The doubts raised by Motilal Oswal have a precedence. With the government estimating Rs 80,000 crore of its revenue to come from divestment, the question in the minds of public is what if the government finds a shortfall there? "We saw shortfall in the revenues of the government happening in 2016-17 due to the dependence on spectrum auction, which attracted less bidders. There has also been some shortfall in non-tax revenues on account of certain developments, including deferment of spectrum auction," Jaitley confessed in his Budget speech.

The receipts coming from one-off inflows like divestments are meant to be considered as financing items, as per the IMF's Government Finance Statistics Manual.

With so much brouhaha over lack of job creation, the budget was eerily silent on the job creation. The data derived from Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) accounts suggest that India created at least 5.5 million jobs in the formal sector in FY18, on top of around 4.5 million in FY17, around 25% of the target. As the primary sector of the Indian economy, agriculture provides employment to almost 51% of the total population. However, the sector's contribution to the country's GDP is just 12-13%, conveying lot of disguised unemployment in the sector.

Although, this is a risky and adventurous budget, but Finance Minister seems to have played it smart. He has kept everyone happy, without giving much to them!

First aid for Consumers!

The agency Konsumenternas have the challenging task of helping consumers with guidance on banking, finance and insurance services. The main challenge consists of making something that is experienced as difficult and boring, easy and understandable for the user.

The website contains large amounts of information and Decerno created, together with a working group from Konsumenternas, a structure that made it easy for the user to browse and find what they are looking for.  The end result was a number of mini-webs on the main website that individually handles different products and services.

We have been working with Decerno for many years so they have a solid knowledge of our business. Together we have been able to package comprehensive and complicated information in an easy and accessible way for our users.
— Angela Olsson, webmaster at konsumenternas.se

Through the individual mini-webs, it becomes easier to get an overview of the content related to the specific question the user has and to find the right tools provided on the website. With these tools users can compare, for example, different banking, financial and insurance products, and to make loan calculations and pension calculations.

The graphic design is what we playfully call"ultra modern retro". Ultramodern, among other things, because of how"frosted glass" works as text plates on images. The term"retro" comes from the illustrated icons that help keep track of the content. The icons was made by the famous illustrator and designer Ingela P Arrhenius. With the new design of the website, the graphic profile of Konsumenternas was updated and adjusted.

The website Konsumenternas.se is built with EPiServer 7.5. EpiServers block functionality is mainly used for the website, which means that editors can easily edit, create and customize content.

Curry Lover of the Year goes to...Ballater!

Scottish Curry Awards 2015
Scottish Curry Awards 2015

Ballater residents are celebrating their success after the village was named ‘Curry Lover of the Year’ at the Scottish Curry Awards.

The awards were presented at a glittering ceremony in Glasgow on Monday March 23, which was attended by representatives of the Royal Deeside community.

The ‘Curry Lover of the Year’ award is an honour bestowed on individuals or organisations that have gone out of their way to promote Indian food.

Owner of Ballater curry house India on the Green, Raj, said: “We were shortlisted to win Overall Best Restaurant so we were a finalist in that and India on the Green is now one of the, if not the, most high end Indian restaurants in Scotland.

“I put forward Ballater personally for the Curry Lover of the Year award. Every customer came in and I took their vote to put Ballater on the map in the curry industry.

“I am glad I have been able to put Ballater on the map for high end Indian cuisine.

“It’s one of the biggest accolades of my life that I have been able to help a community win one of the most prestigious awards.

“I was very much encouraged by Aberdeenshire Council and Cllr Geva Blackett received the award on behalf of the Ballater community.

“My two daughters were also at the awards and they were delighted for Ballater.”

Ballater landed the top prize in recognition of the high proportion of restaurants and takeaways in the village.

Cllr Geva Blackett, who attended the ceremony, said: “I was thrilled to receive the Curry Lover of the year Award on behalf of Ballater – we are so lucky to have such wonderful high standards on our doorsteps.

“Raj and I are planning to present the Award for safekeeping and display to the Tourist Information Centre so that visitors can be made aware too of the delicious food available at both India on the Green and the Lochnagar.”

More than 15,000 nominations from across Scotland were received for the 2015 Awards.

The award for Best of Aberdeen Area also went to a local establishment with Donside’s Echt Tandoori picking up the accolade.

Aberdeen’s Royal Masala Tandoori Takeaway was named Takeaway of the Year in the North Scotland category, whilst a lifetime achievement award went to Liaqat Ali of Qismat Restaurant in Elgin.

Arc Mobile Memo Evaluation

Personally, I like the on screen keyboard for taking notes on any tablet laptop but there are plenty of note taking apps out there for Kindle Fire and android tablets since other folks choose scribbling down their notes utilizing their device as a digital notebook.

One more function that might prove unpopular in the Note eight is the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, which invoked mixed reactions when Samsung announced the very same feature in the Galaxy S8. Certainly, users samsung note 8 kÄ±lÄ±flarÄ± found the S8's rear-mounted fingerprint scanner was placed too close to the rear camera, and it really is awkward and hard to tell what's the camera and what's the scanner with just your finger.

For many, the concept of ordering most anything you need from a company like Amazon is relatively recent.

In reality, consumers have had single source, remote shopping available for over a century.

Even in the late 1800s, department store retailers like Montgomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck & Co. produced voluminous mail order catalogs that offered most anything you might need.

The annual arrival of those huge catalogs was often a major event in households nationwide.

In a turn of the century Sears catalog, for example, you could buy clothing, tools, toys, fabric, appliances, seed, dishware, pots and pans, live chickens, bicycles, furniture, cars, tractors and, believe it or not, a new home.

“Sears was the Amazon of the day,” said Michael DiPaolo, executive director of the Lewes Historical Society.

Indeed, in addition to supplying a staggering array of consumer products for the home and farm, Sears in the early 1900s may have been the largest home builder in the country.

Sears offered customers more than 370 different home designs in its catalogs and nearly 80,000 of those mail order kit houses were sold between 1908 and 1940. Catalog homes were mail ordered and delivered unassembled by train to a point near the building site. Sears would even carry the mortgage, if needed.

Kit costs were often under $2,500, excluding assembly and the price of the building lot.

“I cannot even imagine the sight of all that lumber coming off a train,” DiPaolo said.

In 1908, Sears estimated that additional completion costs ran about $700, including the price of skilled labor to do carpentry, wiring, plumbing, painting and masonry work.

Certainly the total cost was affordable even at a time when the average wage was 22 cents an hour and the standard income was between $200 and $400 annually.

But Sears was not the only supplier of mail order kit homes. Montgomery Ward also offered them as did several other companies, including Aladdin, which was based in Michigan.

“The available variety was amazing,” said DiPaolo.

Though comprehensive records do not exist, Delaware hosted a number of prefabricated kit houses from Aladdin, Montgomery Ward, Sears and others. And the majority were delivered and assembled in the early 1900s, prior to World War II.

The unifying factor in Delaware was typical: Many of the purchased homes were placed on lots in proximity to train tracks because, overwhelmingly, the kits were delivered by rail.

“Both of our Sears houses (in Lewes) are near the railroad,” said Di Paolo.

So, what was the attraction of a mail order house, bought sight unseen?

Elizabeth Peebles wrote her University of Delaware graduate thesis on Aladdin kit houses in the state and she touched on the lure of buying a pre-fabricated home.

Part of the rationale, she said, was that people had developed a high degree of faith in the quality of catalog products, based on previous purchasing experiences. That, even though a home purchase was the single largest expenditure for most families.

“It would be difficult for someone to have the confidence to purchase something as major as a whole house by mail, unless the cultural norm of reliability and acceptance had been previously established,” she said.

DiPaolo said it also was a way for homeowners, particularly in small towns and rural areas, to buy something that was unique.

“It gave the masses access to sophisticated and elegant designs, it gave them something within reach,” he said.

“It was certainly a reflection on what was going on in the late 19th and early 20th century,” said Laurie Turkawski, architectural historian in the Delaware Historic Preservation Office.

While Peebles found at least 48 Aladdin kit homes in Delaware, the total number of mail order dwellings is unknown because records have not survived.

Nevertheless, the Lewes Historical Society has located two surviving Sears mail order homes. And Peebles found at least one Aladdin kit house that was shipped to a Rev. H.R. Hall in Lewes although it is not known if that example has survived.

Joanne and Mac McNaught bought an original 1930s Sears kit house in Lewes, planning to fix it up for vacation use.

“It was pretty rough when we bought it in 1997,” she said.

But it also was built on a lot that was in sight of the rail line.

“A lot of these kits came on a train and we are half a block from the track,” she said.

The other known Sears kit house in Lewes is owned by Karen and Bobby Kollias.

The McNaughts moved to Lewes permanently in 2007. And their renovated Sears jewel was on the Lewes Historical Society homes tour last year.

Even with a wide choice of Sears styles to choose from, the McNaught home was one of the most basic designs, although they are not exactly sure which model it is.

“It certainly was one of the most rudimentary models,” she said. “On the other hand, that made it a lot more affordable.”

Indeed, a Sears catalog from 1926 showed houses as cheap as $772, delivered. The “Rosita” model, for example, was a single story home available at that price. It had four rooms but it also may have needed an outhouse because the floor plan did not show a bathroom.

The most expensive was the ten-room “Magnolia” which cost $6,488.

Identifying a kit house can be difficult. In Milford, for example, what some thought was a Sears mail order house was, according to its owner, actually constructed in the mid-1800s before catalog homes were available.

On the other hand, Peebles found an Aladdin kit home on Walnut Street in Milford that was assembled in 1917 and is still occupied.

The house, according to an Aladdin catalog, was “The Rochester” model, which cost a whopping $1,387 delivered. The home had four bedrooms — three upstairs — and a single bath.

In Laurel, the local utility company bought a Sears kit house in 1921 so its manager and his family had a place to live. The modest dwelling is still occupied — but not by a utility executive.

“We called it the electric light house,” said Kendal Jones of the Laurel Historical Society. “And as far as I know, it is the only Sears house in town.”

In Georgetown, one of the most spectacular Sussex County examples is a Sears “Crescent” model that was listed in a 1926 catalog but was probably not built until the 1930s. The base cost was listed at $1,704 though a more expensive model with larger rooms and an enclosed rear porch was available for $2,039.

“To the folks who like a touch of individuality with good taste, the Crescent makes a special appeal,” the Sears catalog said.

Another Sears house was located in Selbyville but it represented a different type of mail order: The owners bought only the plans from Sears and had the lumber milled locally.

The plain style bungalow “is markedly unadorned,” according to a summary by the state preservation office.

In the 1930s, a farm in Ellendale was subdivided and the developer placed Montgomery Ward kit homes on seven of the lots. All have survived.

Though the kits were marketed in the Montgomery Ward catalog, the state preservation office said they were probably built by another company, Gordon-Van Tine of Bay City, Michigan. The kits were sold under the name “Wardway Homes.”

While mail order kit houses were sold throughout Delaware, historic preservation groups have been slow to catalog the surviving dwellings.

“I don’t think there are a lot of people who are familiar with that history, including the Sears kits,” said Russ McCabe, retired state archivist.

Peebles, on the other hand, is emphatic about the historic value of mail order kit homes.

“I think it is very important to preserve these houses as they are a distinctive cultural movement in this country,” she said. “Much of the historical record has been lost and these houses are disappearing quickly.”

Rice cutgrass problem increasing

Rice cutgrass is an emerging Arkansas weed problem — particularly in zero-grade, reduced tillage and water-seeded crops.

“I’m continuing to get many calls on this,” said Bob Scott, Arkansas Extension weed specialist, at the recent Southeast Branch Station field day in Rohwer, Ark. “Problem acres seem to eek up a bit more every year.”

Scott passed around a small pot full of the grass for those on the tour to handle.

“If you’ve never seen or held it, check this out. When you grab at it, it will pull against your skin.”

Normally, the weed is relegated to ditch-banks. But when tillage is taken out of the picture in continuous rice fields, it emerges as a problem.

Another big reason cutgrass has become a headache: Command, Ricestar, Clincher, Regiment and other herbicides have very little activity on it. Prior to Clearfield rice coming on the scene, “we had some success with 1- to 1.5-gallon rates of glyphosate per acre in the fall. That fall application is an attempt to reduce cutgrass for the following spring.”

Since Clearfield’s arrival, farmers with the weed have reported two applications of Newpath at 4 ounces post “are pretty good. Many times, in order to gain control, a Beyond application is also needed. But outside Clearfield, you’re left with a major application of glyphosate in the fall.”

New herbicides

As for new herbicides, there’s a “definite need to bring back Collego. We thought it was back this year.”

A small company was formed intending to bring back a similar product under the name Lockdown. The company had EPA approval “but had some manufacturing troubles and ended up not producing enough material to meet demand.”

Scott said a few fields were treated in a test run for Lockdown. It performed “a lot” like Collego.

“If everything goes well, it should be available next season. I get a lot of calls on joint vetch late. We need a consistent product for that weed and this could handle it.”

Regardless, don’t leave joint vetch late. “Get it with Facet pre or a good pre-flood broadleaf program. Once that vetch gets big it’s very hard to control.”

Much of Scott’s research focus has shifted away from grasses to the broadleaf spectrum.

“That’s because Command, Ricestar, Clincher, Regiment and others have come along. The barnyardgrass issues have been resolved for the most part.”

Now, companies seem intent on filling in the gaps on the broadleaf side. Scott and colleagues are currently investigating a few new products from Valent and Dow.

“Those companies both have new compounds that are still a ways from market but they’re in the research pipeline.

“We’re also in the third year of evaluating (Strata) from Italy. The company says it should be available in 2007.”

When research first began with Strata, it was believed to be a grass compound.

“We checked it on barnyardgrass and essentially wasted a year of research. It isn’t a material for that.

“It turns out Strata acts a lot more like Permit. Most of our comparisons this year have been done against Permit. I like it in all the same combinations and tank-mix partners that Permit is good with. But Permit is better on yellow nutsedge.

“The company realizes that, though, and they’ve said it will be priced competitively. If you don’t have yellow nutsedge, it should be an option. I told them if they made Strata cheap enough, growers would figure out how to make it work.”

7 Tips for Sleeping Better

Dr. Frank Lipman helps the tired, the exhausted, and the just plain spent.

Studies show that Americans get 20 percent less sleep than we did a century ago. And according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 50 million to 70 million of us suffer from sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss. It stands to reason that learning good sleep habits should be central to the quest for wellness. In his new book, Spent: End Exhaustion and Feel Great Again (Simon & Schuster), and his Web site, SpentMD.com, Frank Lipman, M.D., sets out a six-week program for overcoming fatigue. His approach is a holistic one, with prescriptions for proper nutrition and exercise. But he also gives some simple, “scientific” steps for maximizing the benefits of our regular sleep routines.

Nothing helps your circadian rhythms more than a regular sleep schedule. For instance, the body of a person who always sleeps from 11 to 6 knows to produce melatonin at 11 and serotonin and cortisol at 6, whereas the body of someone whose schedule fluctuates needs to recalibrate constantly.

Keep your bedroom cool. A lower temperature aids in the production and release of sleep hormones.

Before bed, take nutrients that calm the body and mind. Look for a formula that has the following amino acids: L-theanine (100 to 300 mg) and 5-HTP (50 to 100 mg).

Massage your feet with tennis balls to release tight muscles and reduce strain from wearing shoes. When your feet feel relaxed, your whole body does, too.

Use a flashlight or a night-light when you wake up to use the bathroom. Exposure to bright light causes the body to cease that night’s production of melatonin.

Before 10 P.M. watch or read something funny. Laughter helps us breathe deeply and releases powerful endorphins.

Try to get up on your own, because it can be very stressful to your body to be woken by an alarm. If you find that you still need an alarm, lower the volume and move the clock across the room to decrease the impact of the sound.

SALT LAKE CITY — A veteran prosecutor for the Utah Attorney General's Office has received a national honor for his efforts to fight child abuse.

Children's Justice Division Chief Craig Barlow received the Outstanding Service Award in Prosecution from the National Children's Advocacy Center at its symposium in Huntsville, Ala., this week.

"This is a great honor for someone who fiercely defends children in the courtroom and also generously gives his time to mentor other state and county child abuse prosecutors," said Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.

Barlow received the award for his leadership to help expand children's justice centers in Utah. The centers provide a safe child-friendly environment where child victims can be interviewed. They also help coordinate investigation and prosecution of child sex abuse cases and provide referral services to victims' families.

Under his direction, the number of centers has grown from three in 1994 to 19 today.  "There is no question the growth, stability and success of this model in Utah is a direct result of his efforts," Shurtleff said.

The award also recognized Barlow's efforts to oversee prosecutions by the state's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which has convicted more than 500 defendants since it began in 2000.

Shoppers Stop says go to revamp job by JHP

JHP goes on site this week in the first of three shop revamps for Indian department store group Shoppers Stop, as the retailer seeks to take advantage of the growing wealth of India’s middle class consumers.

Shoppers Stop has 13 stores totalling more than 37 000m2 of retail space, selling a mix of branded fashion, accessories, homewares, beauty and cosmetics products. The company has an ambitious expansion strategy in place, with 37 stores across India planned by 2007.

JHP’s role includes strategic elements such as location decisions, in addition to architectural refurbishment of existing venues and interior schemes. Initially the group will be working across Shoppers Stop’s two existing stores in Mumbai and Delhi and a new build space in Bangalore.

JHP creative director and joint managing director Raj Wilkinson says the consultancy is creating an overall theme for the chain but the design of each store will feature distinguishing elements.

Cultural sensitivities are also a major consideration. ‘It’s a real journey for us in understanding the culture,’ says Wilkinson. ‘Consumers are cosmopolitan and susceptible to western trends, but still very loyal to their roots. Achieving this Asian and European fusion is a challenge.’

The 5000m2 Bangalore store will be the first to open in April 2004, with refurbishment of the Mumbai and Delhi stores due to complete in 2005.

JHP was appointed in September 2003 without a pitch.

Developer says 3DS eShop is dead for Nindies

Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Jools Watsham, known for his work on both Mutant Mudds and Xeodrifter, released his newest game, Chicken Wiggle, to what he refers to as "shockingly low" sales. He goes on to state that “Chicken Wiggle’s first day sales were so low, I thought there was an error in the sales report.” He points some of the blame towards the lack of visibility the game received on the North American eShop during its initial release of August 17.

Instead of calling it quits and moving onto a new project though, Watsham already seems to be working on a port for the Nintendo Switch where he hopes to find a larger audience. Considering the fact that the 3DS has a library of games spanning all the way back to the 2004 launch of the original DS, it’s hardly surprising to hear that a new game might not receive the attention that it deserves. Consumers aren’t exactly starved for options. How does one stand out?

The Switch, on the other hand, will be seeing a fairly staggered release of first-party titles over the next year. The marketplace isn’t nearly as crowded, and a few smaller indie games are already finding some measure of success on the platform. The Japanese title Kamiko has seen sales in excess of 100,000 copies, and Forma.8, a game that has been released on quite a few other systems previously, is currently sitting at number 13 on the eShop’s best sellers list. That’s not too shabby for a couple of relative underdogs.

The developers of the game Lichtspeer, which just released for the Switch on September 7, stated that Nintendo actually contacted them about porting it to the console while they were working on the Wii U version, so they've had a pretty solid head start on a lot of the competition. Even though the dev kits for the system are supposedly somewhat affordable, the trouble most developers are going to face now is trying to get their hands on one.

Watsham claims that “the Nintendo 3DS eShop is dead for Nindies,” but I’m curious what demand will be like when his game does finally wiggle its way over to the Switch. Will it immediately get buried there too, or will the Rabbid install base gobble it up the first chance they get? It would definitely be nice to see a happy ending for this story. (Get your mind out of the gutter, people…)

Are there any upcoming, indie eShop titles that you plan on picking up for the 3DS, or have you all moved on? In 2017, do these smaller teams even stand a chance on the platform? Undoubtedly, games like the new Metroid remake will have an audience, but where does that leave everyone else?

The inherent benefits of corn, which contains more sugar than other vegetables but, compared with cereal grains like wheat and rice, has a lower calorie count. Corn is filled with flavonoids and lutein, which together help maintain healthy mucus membranes, skin, and vision. Corn is also a vitamin A, thiamin, and vitamin B6 source.
Corn oil is an effective component in lowering blood cholesterol levels. Numerous human studies show that diets enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acids can significantly lower elevated blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure.
Corn oil is a rich source of linoleic acid, which is one of two essential acids necessary for growth and good skin and hair quality.
Corn oil is also recognized as an excellent source of tocopherols. Tocopherols function as antioxidants and provide a good source of Vitamin E.

Does anyone know if there is some way to take my DA account offline for a little while without actually deleting the entire thing? I don't want to do deviant art for the time being, but I would absolutely hate to lose all my posts, friends, etc. Any suggestions?

:iconghostcharmer: tagged me for this particular meme. I normally don't go for these, but this was fun and I was in desperate need of a journal update!

1->You must post these rules (VERY Important )
2->Each person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3->Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create ten new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4->You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5->Go to their pages and tell them you have tagged her/him.
6->No tag backs
7->No crap in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you're reading this." You legitimately (AKA, really, truly with all honesty) have to tag 10 people.

Ten things about me:
1. I'm afraid of sharks. And horses. And that weird, mythical half horse/half shark hybrid thing.
2. My left pinky-toe sticks straight up in the air
3. I'm the father of 4 awesome sons... Jacob, Isaac, Linus and Charlie
4. I was once attacked by (and successfully fended off) a drunken, Brazilian ninja
5. I had an ancestor named He Man
6. The other day I had a dream about a box. I probably don't need to state this, but it was rather uneventful.
7. I once won an award for my ability to entertain others with a single piece of hair.
8. I'm double-jointed in my thumbs and big toes.
9. I coined the phrase "Man-tastic!" I'm still waiting for it to catch on.
10. I really want a pet waxy monkey frog:…

1. Are you allergic to anything?
--- Penicillin, walnuts and kryptonite. One gives me hives, one gives me canker sores, the other makes me sleepy.
2. How many countries have you been to?
--- Four, and sadly all in the Americas. I don't get out much.
3. What is the funniest name you've ever heard?
--- I once read about a Chinese couple that tried to name their child "@". Apparently the Chinese government wouldn't go for it. What's wrong with "@"?
4. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
--- You think being born was rough. Wait until you have to file taxes.
5. What was your favorite pet you had as a child and why?
--- We had a dog named Tramp. He was awesome. I don't need to justify his awesomeness! Back off!
6. What is your favorite number?
--- "1." It's easier to manage.
7. What is your biggest fear?
--- Losing my wife or one of my kids.
8. If you ever had an imaginary friend, what would he/she/it be like?
--- My imaginary friend would be a massage therapist. That way I could imagine awesome back rubs all the time!
9. What is/was your worst subject in school? best?
--- I. Hate. Math. On the flip side, it was also one of my better subjects. Life is cruel that way.
10. What is the most beautiful place you've ever been?
--- This is a hard question to answer. I'm generally able to find the beauty in most places I go.

I just picked up this book by Hugh MacLeod, and artist writing on the subject of success and creativity. I've only read the first few chapters, but I'm seriously impressed. A few quotes....

"With business colleagues it's even worse. They're used to dealing with you in a certain way. They're used to having a certain level of control over the relationship. And they want whatever makes them more prosperous. Sure, they might prefer it if you prosper as well, but that's not their top priority. If your idea is so good that it changes your dynamic enough to where you need them) less or, God forbid, the market needs them less, then they're going to resist your idea every chance they can. Again, that's human nature. GOOD IDEAS ALTER THE POWER BALANCE IN RELATIONSHIPS. THAT IS WHY GOOD IDEAS ARE ALWAYS INITIALLY RESISTED. Good ideas come with a heavy burden, which is why so few people execute them. So few people can handle it."

"Well, as I'm fond of saying on my blog, don't quit your day job. I didn't.... Even after my cartooning got successful, I still took on corporate marketing and advertising gigs, just to stay attached to the real world. Keeping on foot in the "real world" makes everything far more manageable for me. The fact that I have another income means I don't feel pressured to do something market-friendly. Instead, I get to do whatever the hell I want. I get to do it for my own satisfaction. And I think that makes the work more powerful in the long run. It also makes it easier to carry on with it in a calm fashion, day-in-day-out, and not go crazy in insane creative bursts brought on by money worries."

"Being good at anything is like figure skating - the definition of being good at it is being able to make it look easy. But it never is easy. Ever. That's what the stupidly wrong people conveniently forget."

I'll post more great excerpts as I come across them.

The Beatles Album from an alternate reality

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 1:59 PM
I have no idea what the crap this is...

There's this site where the author claims to have been transported to a parallel dimension. He gets into a conversation with his "host," comparing and contrasting the other dimension from our own. The Beatles come up and this host explains that in his reality the band is still together, touring and writing music. He shows the author some of the albums. The author manages to steal one of them before being transported back to our dimension. Then he proceeds to write up his story and post the album online as a free download.

Its 99% a bunch of crap. But still, its an interesting story and the album is actually pretty good. Go check it out for yourself!…

I've really wanted to purchase the Art of Monsters, Inc ever since I first saw it in Barnes and Nobles, back in 2001. It is now an out-of-print collectible that goes from $140-$500 online. So the question is, is it worth plunking down $140 to buy myself up a copy? What to do? What to do?
I've never been bungee jumping. I've never driven a car faster than 100 mph. I've never streaked a sports game. I've also never been laid off... well, that is until today. And to tell the truth, its a strange, strange experience. It's a big ball of mixed emotions. Sadly, it wasn't a huge slap in the face. I kind of saw it coming. It was more of a wake up call. I'm not sad, angry or depressed. If anything, I'm excited. Excited to try something new. I'm ready to get out there and share myself with new people and new opportunities.

I'm finally starting to feel like I'm getting back on top of this drawring stuff. Man, it really sucks when you slide into one of those dreaded slumps. Unfortunately mine lasted for almost two years. Plus it gets compounded when you're working so much too. I've got my full time job, which barely manages to pay the bills, so I've been working on the side to make up for the rest. Between the two, I've just been physically and artistically stressed. I'm starting to find release again in the process of creation, so look for more coming from me.

Aside from that, I recently saved up enough pocket change to plunk down on the Adobe CS 4 Master Suite. And I must say, "RIGHTEOUS!" (In my best Keanu Reeves voice.) Definitely worth every penny. It feels really good working with software that I actually own again. Also, I'm expecting on a career change soon. While I've had this love/hate relationship with video game animation, I'm come to realize that it just isn't my path. So, I'm planning on moving along to explore other opportunities.

Have any of you ever had any experience with the Wacom 12" Cintiq?

I've been saving up for months to get one. And now that I finally have the money, I'm starting to reconsider. It's about $1000 USD. It's got a 12.1" screen - the actual dimensions are 10.3" x 6.4". I'm nervous that this won't be enough "real estate" to get the job done. That being said I would use this in conjunction with another monitor, and the thing apparently has the ability to control the second monitor at the touch of a button. So going back and forth would be a piece of cake. It's also not quite as portible as one would hope. I believe it runs one cable from the cintiq to a converter/router box, which in turn requires USB and DVI input/output as well as the power cord.

I think it would work well for my situation, especially since I don't want to have to wait another 5 or 6 months to save up for the 21" Cintiq.

Any thoughts?

Minister Flanagan joins EU Foreign Ministers for discussions at FAC

European Union, Minister Charles Flanagan, Press Releases, Europe, 2017

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan TD, was in Brussels today (Monday) to participate in EU Foreign Affairs Council.  In the margins of the meeting, he held bilateral meetings with his German and Danish counterparts and with the Egyptian Foreign Minister.

Minister Flanagan said:

“My extensive programme of meetings and discussions with my EU Foreign Ministerial colleagues has been ongoing since the referendum in Brexit.  I am ensuring that all my colleagues have a clear understanding of the unique circumstances on the island of Ireland and the implications of Brexit for our island. Ministers Gabriel and Samuelsen are relatively recently appointed and I was pleased to have the opportunity today to have discussions with them in regard to Northern Ireland, to the Common Travel area, and to our trade situation.  While we all have some common concerns, Ireland is in a unique situation.  Both Ministers were understanding of Ireland’s unique challenges and I am pleased that both have accepted my invitation to visit Ireland".

On Friday, Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister, Jean Asselborn, will visit Ireland at the invitation of Minister Flanagan.  The Ministers will undertake engagements in Dublin and visit the border region.  Minister Flanagan added:

“As we move closer to the triggering of Article 50, it is more important than ever that the Government maintains engagement with our EU partners, to ensure that our priorities are heard and understood across Europe. My meetings today are a critical part of that process and this strategic outreach will continue later in the week, when I welcome the Luxembourg Foreign Minister to Dublin for discussions which will largely focus on Brexit.”

EU Foreign Ministers had an informal discussion on Egypt with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry today.  Following that discussion, Minister Flanagan had a bilateral meeting with Minister Shoukry in respect of Irish citizen, Ibrahim Halawa, currently on trial on Egypt.

Minister Flanagan said:
"I was pleased to have an opportunity to yet again directly convey to Foreign Minister Shoukry my concerns about Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa.  In particular, I emphasised my concern for Ibrahim’s health and welfare during his incarceration and the strong desire of the Irish government and the Irish Parliament to see Ibrahim returned to Ireland. Minister Shoukry once again reiterated the commitment of his government to resolve this case when a verdict is handed down by the court.  He further undertook to look into the case up on his return to Egypt.”

Earlier, EU Foreign Ministers discussed the recent dialogue between the EU Special Representative on Human Rights, Mr Lambrinidis, and a variety of senior Egyptian Government members and officials. Welcoming the dialogue, Minister Flanagan said:

“We need to build on this dialogue and be clear on the need to support Egypt’s democratic transition, Egyptian civil society and the human rights of all Egyptians. We also need to strengthen our regional dialogue with Egypt, to address economic interests and focus on the shared threat posed by terrorism."

On the EU Global Strategy, Minister Flanagan said:

“Today we met in joint session with our defence colleagues to discuss progress since the December European Council on implementation of the security and defence elements of the Global Strategy and I was pleased to be joined by Minister Paul Kehoe. In particular, we discussed how to step up the Union’s efforts to counter instability in the European Neighbourhood and beyond. External crises are a source of security threats to Europe and we need to invest more in conflict prevention to address their root causes. The Global Strategy envisages a comprehensive approach using political, diplomatic, economic development cooperation, governance capacity building and peace support instruments in a coherent way. Improving the EU’s capacity, through the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) to contribute to international peace and security, particularly in support of the UN, is an important part of that work”.

Foreign Ministers also discussed the Middle East Peace Process (MEPP). Minister Flanagan said:

“On the MEPP we had a general exchange of views on the situation, in particular in the light of a number of developments, including some troubling aspects on the ground – settlement expansion, on which myself and other Ministers, as well as the EU as a whole, have made clear statements; the recent Legalisation Act, and other issues. A united international approach is more important now than ever”.

There was also a brief discussion on Yemen, in light of the dire humanitarian situation, which continues to be of concern to EU Foreign Ministers.

A Muslim-American mother’s fears and hopes

  • Published at 12:02 am November 25th, 2016
A Muslim-American  mother’s fears and hopes

I am a fiercely proud New Yorker and American. I love my city. My only child, a teenage daughter, was born at New York University Hospital, and her very name symbolises hope and peace. So far, so good –- I sound just like any one of 8.5 million New Yorkers and millions of other Americans.

But here are other descriptors that begin to set me apart. I am a Muslim. I am an immigrant from Bangladesh. I am a brown woman who still speaks with a “foreign” accent. I am a lawyer. And I am the mother of a daughter who wants to be president of the United States one day.

Today, at the early dawn of an unexpected Trump era, I feel scared and betrayed. I scan the media headlines for the latest news about a future Trump administration and I continue to be at a loss for words. I struggle with so many fears and questions.

What will happen to brown people who look and sound like me? Will we be deported and told to return to where we came from? Will it become easier to assault women sexually? Will Muslims be barred from entering the US? Will we go to “war” against Islam, a global religion, and what does this mean for our security in the US? Will my gay best friend be denied the right to marry?

My deepest fear is about not belonging to this country that I so love. I feel betrayed by my fellow Americans who voted for a xenophobic candidate.

I fear that my adopted nation will reject me and treat my daughter and me like second-class citizens -- a historical regression politically that would be so painful as we lose our standing as a global champion of tolerance and openness.

My heart breaks at the very thought that my bright child could even conceive of asking herself if she can achieve her dream of leadership in our nation. She is an American, and we have always idealised our uniquely American dream of equality for all.

How was I to explain why the first ever woman to run for the White House did not make it? How was I to ensure that she, as a Muslim, did not feel threatened in our nation?

Like millions of people, I was up until the wee hours of election night and slept only for a few hours, all the while rehearsing how I would speak to my daughter when she awoke. This is her “first” election. Like so many other schools, her middle school had used this election to educate students about civic participation.

She was beyond excited to come of age at a time when a Madame President was possible. She even studied how to predict election results as part of her math work. My daughter went to bed on election night filled with hope and excitement, dreaming that the most powerful of glass ceilings would be shattered for her.

As the election results became clear, it was my task on Wednesday morning to reassure my daughter of not just our nation’s future, but also her own. How was I to explain why the first ever woman to run for the White House did not make it?

How was I to ensure that she, as a Muslim, did not feel threatened in our nation? Bleary eyed, I told her what I had rehearsed mentally: We are so proud to have finally had a Hillary Clinton who paved the way for more women leaders, including a senate that now is projected to include more women of colour senators than ever before.

Even though it is clear that we have a profound schism in our country, this is an opportunity to learn how to deal with a setback and yet move forward in life. Most importantly, I told my daughter that our nation’s future lies in her actions and next steps. She must stand for her ideals. After hearing me out with her usual teenage nonchalance, she pretended to be fine.

She asked: “Will there ever be a woman president?” I said, “Of course!” But even as I said this, I could see that she wasn’t convinced. Her sideway glance said it all: “Will I be able to achieve my dream to be POTUS? What does it mean to have that ‘Rahman’ in my name?”

Even as I deal with my fears and sense of betrayal, I see hope. I have hope in the power of our nation’s ideals. I have hope in the example set by Hillary Clinton. I have hope in our ability to strengthen our movement. And I have hope that young people, including my daughter, will lead us to a future where there are no glass ceilings, only open sky. I hope that every person in our diverse nation feels at home here.
