We have long since become accustomed to new technologies changing our lives in a wide variety of ways. Smartphone applications, satellite navigation, online retailing and cybergaming are just a few of the key words illustrating this fact. A similar change is now also underway in agriculture, with so-called smart farming or agriculture 4.0.
Developments which better define agricultural systems and allow for more precise management are summarised under the terms ‘agriculture 4.0’ or ‘smart farming’. The primary aims of these systems are resource efficiency, emission-, cost- and workload reduction, and the improvement of product quality. As in the private sphere, technologies used in farming are highly diverse, ranging from simple individual applications all the way to complex internet-linked systems.
Today, satellite positioning systems mean that agricultural machinery can be steered to centimetre accuracy. It is thus possible to traffic fields exclusively on fixed tramlines, which remain in the same place year after year. Such technologies – known as ‘controlled traffic farming’ (CTF) – can minimise the negative effects of soil compaction. The aims are a loose soil structure, and hence adequate water infiltration even after heavy precipitation, as well as improved rootability of the soils. An initial trial demonstrated the potential of CTF in Switzerland. Currently, attempts are underway to implement this system in practice.
Targeted plant protection Sensor technologies are suitable for refining forecasting systems that calculate the development of pests and diseases in advance. These include e.g. the pest forecasting tool for fruit production (SOPRA, Agrometeo), the risk assessment of Fusarium infestation in cereals (FusaProg), and the warning and forecasting system for controlling potato late blight (PhytoPRE). In this way, targeted plant protection is encouraged and unnecessary treatments avoided. In future, these classic forecasting systems will be expanded by new technologies.
Smart farming is also in demand in connection with irrigation systems. Around half of the apple orchards in Switzerland are irrigated. Automatic irrigation systems that also take soil moisture and plant parameters into account are still in their infancy, however. Relevant trials are currently underway in the Valais region, among other places.
Refining animal monitoring Among dairy cattle, fertility and metabolic disorders are common. In future, precise monitoring of the animals should allow us to keep a close watch on their state of health. An example of such a monitoring system is Rumiwatch. In cooperation with the industry, Agroscope is currently refining this monitoring system with a view to it supporting farmers in this task in future.
Sensors can also simplify grazing. The intention is to improve the energy efficiency of positioning systems through the use of new technologies that can transmit data over large distances using as little transmission capacity as possible. In addition, it should also be possible in future to deliberately influence the radius of movement of cows through ‘virtual fences’, and to monitor their health and feeding activity.
RumiWatch - The Grazing Movie
The aim is to enable an estimate of the feed intake of grazing dairy cows. The series of tests for this enhancement were conducted at the Posieux site.
Robots for controlling dock plants Smart farming also offers new possibilities for organic agriculture. The development of the hot-water method for controlling dock weeds opens the way for the automated control of these plants without pesticides. It’s now a question of also tackling the demanding task of automated identification. A new prototype is expected to be built in the near future as part of an EU project.
Applications in a wide range of fields show that there are numerous opportunities for optimising production processes in agriculture. The aim is to manufacture products of even higher quality that can be produced both efficiently and with minimal adverse effect on the environment.

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria)
What Is Hematuria?
When blood gets into urine (pee), it's called hematuria (hee-ma-TUR-ee-uh). It's pretty common and usually not serious. There are two types of hematuria:
- Microscopic hematuria is when blood in the urine can be seen only with a microscope. Often, this goes away without causing any problems. In fact, people might never know they have it unless they get a urine test.
- Gross hematuria is when you can see the blood in the pee even without a microscope. This is because there is enough blood in the pee to turn it red or tea-colored.
How Does Blood Get Into the Urine?
Blood leaks into the urinary tract. This can happen anywhere in the urinary tract such as:
- in the kidneys, which remove waste and water from the blood to make pee
- in the ureters, which are tubes that carry pee from the kidneys to the bladder
- in the bladder, which stores pee
- in the urethra, where pee leaves the body
What Causes Hematuria?
Kids can get hematuria for many reasons. Common causes include:
- bladder or kidney infections
- kidney stones
- high levels of calcium and other minerals in the urine
- a problem with the urinary tract
- injury to the kidneys or urinary tract
- taking some types of medicines, like some over-the-counter pain medicines
- strenuous exercise (many athletes, especially distance runners, get hematuria from time to time)
In rare cases, hematuria can be a sign of kidney cancer or bladder cancer, a blood disease, or a blood clot. If something like that is going on, hematuria usually will be one of many symptoms.
Sometimes what looks like hematuria might be something else. Things like food dye, some foods (like beets or blackberries), a girl's monthly period (menstruation), and some prescription medicines can make pee look red.
What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Hematuria?
Microscopic hematuria has no visible signs. Doctors will only know someone has it if a urine test finds it.
Gross hematuria is seen because it changes the color of urine, which can happen with only a little bit of blood. Often, red or tea-colored urine is the only symptom.
In some cases, hematuria can be one of many symptoms of another condition. For example, if a bladder infection is causing the hematuria, other symptoms might include fever, pain while peeing, and lower belly pain.
How Is Hematuria Diagnosed?
The doctor will do an exam and ask about symptoms, recent activities, and the family medical history. Your child will give a urine sample (pee in a cup) for testing.
Sometimes, more tests are done, such as a:
How Is Hematuria Treated?
Most of the time, hematuria doesn't need any treatment. If it only happens once, it's nothing to worry about.
If another condition is causing the hematuria, doctors will treat that condition. For instance, hematuria from a urinary tract infection (UTI) is treated with antibiotics.
If your child was treated for hematuria, the doctor probably will do follow-up tests to make sure there's no more blood in the urine.

Helen walked past our shop three times before I plucked up the courage to ask if I could take her picture. I couldn't miss this outfit.
I must explain that Wells is the smallest city in the UK and in Somerset, 10 minutes from Glastonbury. It's main claim to fame is the Cathedral and the film Hot Fuzz which was based on and filmed here in Wells.
Helen stood out with her style. The outfit is a collection of finds ... blue patent Dr. Martens, rainbow leggings fromThe Trading Post, Wells (our favourite shop other than ours!) A 90s floral fleece mini and a rainbow crochet crop top. The pastel hair wrap, baby pink rucksack and beaded jewellery are all the details of a 90s club kid reinvented to perfection.

AMARAVATI: Telugu Desam Party National President and former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday slammed the ruling YCP leaders for 'luring and looting' by collecting commissions from the gullible poor families in the name of distribution of free house sites.
He said different rates were being fixed at Rs. 30,000, Rs. 60,000 and up to Rs. 1.5 lakh to sanction these house sites while lesser amounts would be collected only if the beneficiaries have the blessings of YCP local leaders. With this, the YCP went down in history as the only party which has resorted to wholesale corruption even in welfare programmes aimed at improving living conditions of the poor families.
Mr. Naidu, in a series of tweets, strongly objected to YCP leaders' looting spree by collecting different amounts of commissions in different villages and areas without the least sympathy for the people who are already suffering on account of Coronavirus lockdowns. In every assembly segment, hundreds of crores worth scams were taking place in the name of house sites. A fact-finding committee has reported that Rs. 400 Cr fraud was committed in the 'aava' (low-lying) lands acquisition.
The TDP chief said lands not worth even Rs. 7 lakh per acre were being bought by the Government at Rs. 45 lakh to Rs. 70 lakh with the margin amounts going into the pockets of YCP leaders there. The total land acquisition for house sites was turned into a massive scam. On the other hand, the houses already completed during the TDP regime were not handed over to the beneficiaries but they were converted into COVID quarantine centres out of sheer political vengeance.
Mr. Naidu said that the previous TDP Government sanctioned 29.52 lakh houses and completed 9.1 lakh houses while house warming was done in three phases for 8 lakh houses. Another 20.41 lakh houses were in various stages of completion. At that time, TDP's 'mass house-warming' programme became a model for the entire country. Also, the TDP rule gave house sites to 4.02 lakh people in over 7,475 acres. Lakhs of house site pattas were given in Visakhapatnam and other parts of North Coastal Andhra and also Rayalaseema. But, all these benefits and houses were stopped to poor people reflecting YCP's unchecked political harassment at every step.

There are few things more embarrassing than tripping and falling. While most victims and witnesses would chalk it up to clumsiness, a second look at the accident may show an obstacle or foreign object that got in the way of a safe walk. Examples include potholes, uneven stair steps, aisles and sidewalks.
With the ownership of business property comes the responsibility of ensuring that every patron is safe. A quick trip to the store or dining in a restaurant should not result in tragedy.
Once you set foot in a business or store, you are under the property owner’s care; you can expect that your surroundings are safe. If they fall short in this responsibility, you could fall and suffer permanent injuries to your back, spinal cord or brain. When property owners or their designated staff know of dangerous conditions but do not act in time to prevent an accident, they must be held responsible for their negligence.
While you focus on recovering from your injuries, we will build a fact-based claim. We will establish a foundation of facts by visiting the scene of the accident, interviewing witnesses and analyzing any previous accident reports.
With that foundation of facts, our personal injury lawyers will build a strong and compelling trip-and-fall case focused on maximizing compensation for your lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
At The Law Offices of Christian J. Amendt, we can help you overcome the obstacles you face. You should focus on recovery; we’ll focus on maximizing your damages to help you on the road to recovery. To schedule a free initial consultation with our Pomona trip and fall accident attorney, call 909-766-1994 or contact us online.

The Federal Aviation Administration listed the design changes it will require for the grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft before it will issue an Airworthiness Directive that will allow airlines to resume operating the twin-engine jets. The changes are presented in a "Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for an Airworthiness Directive (AD)" delivered to the Office of the Federal Register, reaffirming FAA's promise to initiated a 45-day public-comment period for assessing the changes.
The public comment period will begin once the NPRM is published in the Federal Register.
The changes FAA will require include installing a new flight-control software to correct problems with the 737 MAX's previous Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which has been identified as the primary cause of two fatal crashes of 737 MAX jets in October 2018 and March 2019.
Other changes include revising the Airplane Flight Manual to reflect new and revised procedures for 737 MAX flight crews; installing a new 737 MAX display system software; and changing the horizontal stabilizer trim wire-routing installations.
FAA also will require 737 MAX operators to conduct tests of the aircraft's angle-of-attack sensor system and perform an operational readiness flight prior to returning each airplane to service.
The changes listed in the NPRM do not include proposed new requirements for pilot training, which FAA will publish later. ”Pilot training will be evaluated by the Joint Operations Evaluation Board (JOEB) and the FAA’s Flight Standardization Board (FSB),” according to FAA.
The 737 MAX is a twin-engine narrow-body aircraft that entered into commercial service in 2017. After the series was grounded worldwide in March 2019, Boeing revised the MCAS and identified the needed changes to the 737 MAX display system software and the horizontal stabilizer trim wire routing.
Test flights of the redesigned 737 MAX were conducted by Boeing and FAA pilots in early July.

General Electric now has Federal Trade Commission and European Commission clearance to proceed with the $4.3-billion takeover of Avio S.p.A.’s AeroEngine division, announced last year. Avio manufactures low-pressure turbine systems, accessory gearboxes, geared systems, combustors, and other components for aerospace engines.
Avio has operations worldwide, and has supplied components to GE Aviation for nearly 30 years, and has content on engines including the GE90 and GEnx turbofan engines for commercial aircraft, as well as the CT7/T700 turboshaft engine family for civil and military helicopters. Avio also supplies other aerospace engine manufacturers.
GE has said the acquisition of Avio's aviation business, which provides components for GE Aviation and other engine companies, would further GE's participation in jet propulsion, one of the most attractive sectors of the aviation industry.
Avio will strengthen GE's global supply chain, and the buyer stated Avio and its customers would benefit from GE's investments to expand Avio's products and services.
The FTC had challenged the acquisition on the ground that it would be “anticompetitive,” but a proposed settlement would prevent General Electric from interfering with the development of an accessory gearbox that Avio designed for GE rival Pratt & Whitney’s PW1100G engine.
The agency announced the settlement resolves its challenge.
Earlier, the European Commission withdrew objections to the takeover after GE committed to ensure that strategic information relating to the Eurojet consortium (supplier of jet fighters for several EU nations) would be protected, and remain competitive.
"We look forward to Avio joining the GE family," GE Aviation president and CEO David Joyce, said in December. "We have worked closely with Avio for decades, and we anticipate a bright future together. This acquisition is a great strategic fit with our existing portfolio."

Reacting to Russia’s veto of a UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution on 18 November demanding an end to attacks against civilians and calling for facilitation of humanitarian assistance to millions in desperate need, amongst other things, in the armed conflict between Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Amnesty International’s Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, Tigere Chagutah, said:
“Amnesty International is deeply disappointed by this shameful veto. Once again, politics has stood in the way of civilian protection with the UNSC failing to fulfil its mandate.
“Sudan is the world’s largest displacement crisis. Facilitation of humanitarian assistance, as called for in the draft resolution, would have offered temporary relief to millions of internally displaced persons in urgent need of assistance.
“All countries fueling the conflict must immediately cease direct and indirect supplies of arms and ammunition to both sides and respect and enforce the UNSC’s embargo on Darfur. The UNSC must also prioritize civilian protection by expanding the existing arms embargo to the rest of Sudan.”
The current armed conflict in Sudan between SAF and the RSF erupted in April 2023. The UNSC draft resolution on 18 November, among other things, expressed concern and condemned human rights and international humanitarian law violations and abuses. It also urged all parties to the conflict to protect civilian infrastructure necessary to the delivery of humanitarian assistance and to allow and facilitate humanitarian access, while encouraging international partners to scale up humanitarian assistance.

And for me it's really exciting one of my patterns made up. The lady in the light up geometric white costume above put lights into a neon version of my Pirates of the Caribbean dress ... really creative.
Below are photos I snapped just walking about over the weekend.
This lady used my Tudor pattern beautifully. This lady above in the grey made an 18th Century interpretation of the tornado from the Wizard of Oz. She is carrying the wig that has motorized figures circling it of the witch, a fence, the house and Miss Gulch. This Holly Hobby had a remote controlled goose! | And Mary Poppins was having a very jolly holiday indeed. |
I am going to chase down some good photos of my favorite costumes from the various competitions to share tomorrow. You won't believe your eyes.

We celebrate the World Poetry Day since 1999. The main purpose is to help the language diversity through poems and poetry, and increase the possibility to get to know endangered languages. However, how does the World Poetry Day connect with document security?
The graphics on documents or banknotes can be familiar for the many of us, but fewer know that they also serve as a security feature. Not only illustrations, motifs, symbols, but also literary-poetic masterpieces appear on national documents. Graphic artists can work on a solution, on a real work of art, even for weeks!
And these things are connected in such a way that poetry also appears in some documents, and graphic artists and designers often smuggle poetic or even national song excerpts onto them.
In the new Hungarian passport the national anthem of Hungary is displayed in two separate ways: a part of the text is embossed on the plastic datasheet, and under UV light the notes of the anthem are visible on the paper pages of the passport.
The Hungarian identity card also has some hidden features related to poetry: under UV light a patriotic song called “Szózat” appears on the back of the card.
In the Irish passport too we can find the national anthem. There is a different string of notes of it on every page, and reading the pages in order gives the whole anthem.
Finnish passport has something similar, it accomodates an extract of a poem written by Eino Leino, the best known Finnish poet, which can be visible by naked eye. The Sámi minority living in Northern Finland is represented by a micro-written poem.
Similar poetry can also be found in banknotes. On the Singaporean 1000$ banknote the national anthem of the city-state is visible by the naked eye. This is the only banknote to include the whole text of an anthem in the world. In this case, it also functions as a security element, as the text is printed on the banknote with microwriting technique. However, in 2021 they are planning to withdraw it from circulation, as a result of anti-counterfeiting efforts, but in the meantime we can count it as one of the symbols of poetry.
All these solutions not only link the documents to the culture of a nation, but also have artistic, theoretical and security value. Also in our printing company, many graphic artists, designers and experts work to ensure that these products are not only tamper-proof, but also aesthetically pleasing and unique, while also paying tribute to our greatest poets and artists.

Nevertheless , there is a few room to get improvement with Avast’s additional features.

Moreover, that collects and shares consumer data with Avast’s stats business, Jumpshot, which elevates some issues over level of privacy.

Matt Turner became the fastest goalkeeper in US history to reach 20 clean sheets and 20 wins for his country in 30 appearances.
United States progressed to the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-finals after a colossal 6-0 victory against Trinidad and Tobago, their second 6-0 win in a week.
Jesus Ferreira also made history with a back-to-back hat trick becoming the first American to manage this feat on the international stage, and joining Landon Donovan as the only players to achieve three hat tricks for the USA.
USA finish top of Group A due to their superior goal difference over Jamaica, but they will have to wait to find out who their opponents will be on 10 July. Canada, Guatemala or Guadeloupe are the potential options depending on the conclusion of Group D.
USMNT will be hoping to retain the Gold Cup after their 2021 win and pick up an 8th title following a standout group stage performance from The Stars and Stripes.

- Teacher and Student Microphones: The SAA5's wireless microphones provide high-quality audio, allowing teachers and students to move freely around the classroom, interact with one another, and utilize different teaching spaces without limitations for up to 8-10 hours of talk time. The teacher microphones also include an SOS button that can send safety alerts when necessary.
- Crystal-Clear Speakers: The system's speakers play a crucial role in instruction, explanations, and discussions.

The What: AV Stumpfl is launching its Wings Vioso RX software.
The What Else: “The render engine inside Wings Vioso RX is completely rewritten from scratch and is the result of an intensive five years of product design, development and beta testing,” said Fred Neulinger, technical director at AV Stumpfl.
Aimed at quick and easy adoption by existing users, the familiar user interface has been given a facelift with several performance and feature optimizations.
The render engine is based on x64 architecture and includes several base level algorithms, replacing standard operating system and driver functions.
“Show creators using Wings Vioso RX will benefit from the most accurate, perfectly synchronized and jitter-free content processing and playback,” said Neulinger.
A key feature introduced in the engine is AV Stumpfl’s proprietary multiple master workflow. In real-time, multiple operators can collaborate remotely on projects using the same media server outputs. For example one operator can control background projection whilst another can add overlays or add or change content live at runtime, even whilst the show is running.
This new workflow also provides a multi timeline functionality which allows to run concurrent timelines – synchronized or not – on the same system and on any number of layers.
The Bottom Line: AV Stumpfl has updated their media server portfolio to include a range of products starting from entry-level media servers for fixed installations up to AV Stumpfl’s flagship product, Wings Engine Raw. All servers include Wings Vioso RX software.
“There’s no better place to launch Wings Vioso RX software than at ISE 2016. Visitors came to the stand and were able to try, test out the software, and plan for future investments,” concluded Neulinger.

What are Brownfields?
What is a brownfield? | View/Download Infographic >
Brownfields are abandoned or underutilized properties where reuse is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. The spaces may include sites contaminated by hazardous substances, petroleum or mine-scarred land.
We award grants to help clean up these blighted properties so they can be returned to active use. To be considered for brownfields grant funds, a property must:
- be an underused commercial or industrial site
- have redevelopment potential
- have redevelopment potential that is complicated by known or perceived contamination from a hazardous substance as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)
Check out all the ways brownfields grants have helped Arizonans revitalize communities since 2005 | View StoryMap >
Common examples of brownfields are:
- fire departments
- dry cleaners
- older or historic commercial buildings
- hotels and motels
Why are they important to clean up?
Brownfields are often abandoned properties, with owners no longer maintaining the space or paying taxes. These properties with unresolved environmental issues can quickly become local blights and may attract vandalism and illegal dumping. They degrade the environment, depress communities and potentially put public health at risk.
Redeveloping Properties Revitalizes Communities
Revitalizing brownfields involves transforming the properties into something new, from neighborhood parks to commercial or retail spaces. Redevelopment has the potential to reduce environmental hazards, create new business opportunities, increase tax revenue and restore blighted areas to productive use.
Redevelopment may prove less expensive than construction on previously undeveloped land because they typically have favorable locations (near potential markets and labor) and infrastructure already in place.
How to Use ADEQ's Brownfields Assistance Program
Local governments, non-profits, Tribal Nations and hospital, school, police and fire districts may apply for funding through ADEQ’s Brownfields Assistance Program. Each fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), EPA provides funding through a state response grant for Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Surveys and Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Abatements.

Baseball Icon Albert Pujols Named Official Global Ambassador for Baseball United
Future first ballot Hall of Famer will also serve as Executive Advisor to Baseball United’s CEO
Published June 13, 2023
Dubai, UAE (June 13, 2023) - Baseball United, the first-ever professional baseball league focused on the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent, announced today that Albert Pujols, one of the greatest players in baseball history, would serve as the organization’s official Global Ambassador. Pujols played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball and won three MVP Awards, two World Series championships, and a Batting Title.
Pujols was an 11-time All-Star, six-time Silver Slugger, and twice led the league in home runs. Last year, he joined Hall of Famer Hank Aaron as the only players in Major League Baseball history with more than 3,000 hits and 700 home runs. He is second place all-time for career RBIs and total bases, and fourth all-time in career home runs after starring for the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
In this newly created role, Pujols will help promote the new league, its franchises, and events through Baseball United campaigns and via his personal social platforms. Pujols will also join Baseball United executives in various government meetings and community activations within the Middle East.
“We are so grateful to partner with Albert to help bring the great game of baseball to a new generation of fans in a new part of the world,” said Kash Shaikh, President, CEO, and Co-Owner of Baseball United. “Albert is one of the best players in the history of the game, with legendary accomplishments that will never be forgotten. He’s also one of the game’s greatest ambassadors, playing the right way, leading with honor and integrity, and teaching with passion and humility. There’s no better person to team with our current group of baseball legends as we collectively work to grow the game. I’m looking forward to working with Albert as we write a new chapter in baseball history.”
In addition to Shaikh, Baseball United’s ownership group includes Hall of Famers Barry Larkin and Mariano Rivera, as well as Adrian Beltre, Felix Hernandez, and Elvis Andrus.
The league begins play with its Dubai Showcase this November, which will feature its first two franchises – the Mumbai Cobras and Karachi Monarchs – as well as two additional franchises that will be announced in the coming weeks. The Dubai Showcase will be the first time professional baseball is played in the history of the region.
“I am truly honored to partner with Baseball United to help bring professional baseball to the Middle East and South Asia,” said Pujols. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grow the game we love in a way that no one has ever done before. I’m very grateful to Kash, John Miedreich (Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations), and the entire BU team for trusting me with this important work. And I can’t wait to get to Dubai.”
In addition to his Global Ambassador role, Pujols will serve as Executive Advisor to Shaikh, sharing his input and expertise on topics such as baseball operations, gameplay innovation, and global development.

A new vaccine offering season-long protection could play an important role in the battle against cattle ticks by reducing reliance on acaricides – pesticides which target ticks and mites – and allowing producers to move cattle from tick free to tick endemic areas.
Researchers are also trialling a new single-dose tick vaccine delivery system.
A reformulated long-lasting cattle tick vaccine, which could be in commercial production within four to five years, promises a major advance against the number one cattle pest in the country – and significant progress has been made on a longer term, more effective vaccine.
Ticks are estimated to cost the Australian cattle industry at least $175 million a year and they have a major animal health and welfare impact on herds in tropical cattle regions worldwide.
A team of Queensland scientists led by QAAFI’s Associate Professor Ala Lew-Tabor is developing new improved antigens which produce antibodies to induce an immune response in the animal to protect against ticks.
Associate Professor Lew-Tabor said the long running research, which began twelve years ago within the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, was now showing promise and attracting commercial interest.
A range of different combinations of tick antigen have been trialled for their effectiveness on live cattle ticks.
The trials have included modified antigens developed originally in research conducted by the Beef Cooperative Research Centre (Beef CRC) and involves collaborations with the United States and Brazil in evaluations of the effectiveness of different antigen combinations.
Associate Professor Lew-Tabor noted that a superior tick vaccine was still many years from commercial release.
“A breakthrough tick vaccine will be a game changer for northern Australian beef producers and bring many benefits for the industry,” Associate Professor Lew-Tabor said.
Meanwhile, another QAAFI research group is making promising progress on developing a new single-dose delivery mechanism for a tick vaccine.
The controlled-release formulation research is based on the use of bio-polymer technology developed by theCooperative Research Centre for Polymers, and using the active ingredient from the pioneering tick vaccine that is no longer manufactured.
The original vaccine required at least two doses and a booster to give effective protection against ticks, making its use for cattle herds across extensive northern Australia grazing areas unfeasible.
QAAFI’s Dr Tim Mahony, who leads the project, said a new vaccine offering season-long protection could play an important role in the battle against cattle ticks.
“It may not be a complete panacea, but it is important to have new treatment options when chemicals used are under a growing threat of resistance,” Dr Mahony said.
The research objective is to have a vaccine with a strong initial impact while also giving a sustained immune response.
“It is a matter of releasing enough active ingredient for an immediate response while offering on-going control without the need to re-vaccinate,” Dr Mahony said.
A number of different formulations using polymer technology have been tested over the past three years and if results of the latest trial due mid-2016 continue to show promise, wider field-scale evaluation is expected to follow.
A combination of these approaches will be a major breakthrough for Northern cattle producers – not just from saving the expense of dipping and cattle disease loss, but allowing producers to easily move cattle between tick free and tick endemic areas.
It may even one day open the door for in some areas of Queensland for cattle producers to run high value Bos taurus cattle on land that would only once have ever run Bos indicus cattle.

Annoying on Wednesday as Cheddar George burst a blood vessel in his run and finished with blood pouring from his nose. He was held up pretty much in last place when Holland asked him for his effort in the straight. He was making rapid headway when he came to a sudden halt – I had guessed what had happened before I got the text from Pete. It’s not the end of the world – I don’t think it would have happened if he had built up his run more slowly. We can win more races with him.
I have two runners today. Beating Harmony goes in the first at Southwell – I claimed him on a whim after he ran last time and I’m not really sure why I did it. He’s no worldbeater but he goes ok – Tom thinks he has a respectable chance and is surprised at his long odds. I’ll probably stick him back in a claimer after this regardless of what he does.
Bad Sir Brian in the first at Fontwell is more interesting. The first time he ran he inhaled a clod of dirt into his lungs – he finished distressed, and the second time he ran he was hesitant to go after his previous bad experience. Nick assured us that he was a horse with ability and we should ignore those early runs – he turned out to be right when he won his bumper nicely at Plumpton a couple of weeks back. He’s grown up a lot since then and we’re happy to have a go over hurdles. This looks a tough race as Fontwell novice hurdles go but we’re very positive and think he has an excellent chance.

The project was challenging as the new design had to conform as much to the existing layout.
Part of the kitchen wall was demolished and rebuilt out of glass blocks in order to illuminate the small and dark kitchen. The curved corner of glass blocks allows the feeling of smoothness and enlargement of the dining space to emerge. Our intention was also to preserve, as possible, the existing, timeless materials of the apartment: the mosaic and wooden floors. The new floor in the kitchen is a contemporary approach to the mosaic floor, constructed out of slabs of mosaic, while matching the color palette of the rest of the flooring. The black kitchen furniture matches the color palette of the floor, while the white worktop and tiles illuminate the space. Within the bedrooms, the old wardrobes were demolished and new wardrobes were custom made and repositioned.
The lighting of the apartment is made of spot and hidden linear lighting. Particular attention was paid to the sleeping and office areas, where the lighting details were designed to order.

1 Chronicles 17
World English Bible
17 When David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of Yahweh’s covenant is in a tent.”
2 Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
3 That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go and tell David my servant, ‘Yahweh says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in; 5 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another. 6 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
7 “Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel. 8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth. 9 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not waste them any more, as at the first, 10 and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house. 11 It will happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your offspring after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you; 14 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne will be established forever.”’” 15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
16 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, “Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far? 17 This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the standard of a man of high degree, Yahweh God. 18 What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant. 19 Yahweh, for your servant’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20 Yahweh, there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21 What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt? 22 For you made your people Israel your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God. 23 Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken. 24 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.’ 25 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you. 26 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant. 27 Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

New Seasons – Day 17
Joy is being there for others
Se(di)ngolwa (t)sa Bibele
Many years ago, there was a slave named Androcles. He ran away from his owner to live in the jungle. There, he came upon a lion. The lion had a big thorn in his paw that was already starting to fester, and Androcles saw that the lion was thin, emaciated and could not walk or hunt. When he saw, in the lion’s eyes, how the animal suffered, he wanted to do everything in his power to help the lion. With great doubt and trepidation, because getting too close could cost him his life, he put out his hand gently towards the lion’s paw. When the lion saw what Androcles was doing, he began licking his hand as if asking the slave to help him. Slowly, Androcles pulled the thorn from the lion’s paw, while the lion constantly licked his hand and sniffed at him. When the thorn came out, the lion retreated, limping into the jungle.
Sometime afterwards, Androcles was captured by the emperor’s soldiers. As punishment for his desertion, the emperor ordered that he be thrown into the arena to be torn apart by lions, in front of hundreds of spectators. Meanwhile, the lion Androcles had helped so long ago was also in a cage, beneath the same arena. The story goes that it was precisely this lion that was let loose on Androcles. When the gate was opened, so that the lion could attack the captured slave, the crowd went mad. They were expecting the lion to tear the man limb from limb. The lion charged towards the man in front of him and then suddenly stopped. He recognised Androcles’ scent as that of the man who had helped him long ago. Instead of attacking Androcles, he licked his hand and rubbed against him. The emperor and the crowd were so stunned that the emperor set Androcles free and allowed him to take the lion with him as a gift.
God made us not just for ourselves. He told us that we would be a blessing to other people, as well as animals. Think a little about whom the Lord has sent your way today, who you might be a blessing to.

Gracious redemption – Zaccheus – 24 July 2020
By Louise Gevers
Se(di)ngolwa (t)sa Bibele
What would you do if you were so short that you couldn’t see over the heads of others in a crowd; especially when there was something spectacular to see?
As a child, I was fascinated by the account of an adult Zaccheus having to climb a tree to see Jesus because he was so short. I was short, and loved climbing trees, so it made a lot of sense to me. I was just as fascinated (and delighted) that Jesus should want to go to his house, and wondered if Jesus had chosen to do that because He could see him better up the tree than He could everyone else on the ground.
What would you have thought?
Zaccheus was a man with a mission. Reports of the charismatic Teacher and his miracles had reached him, and he knew that he needed to see him for himself; he needed answers, but many people would be lining the roads and thronging around him. As chief tax-collector he was despised anyway; he couldn’t be concerned with the reactions of others at this crucial time. He would see Jesus at any cost, and didn’t care if the means he used brought him ridicule.
Jesus didn’t disappoint him; He not only saw Zacchaeus, but reached out in an unexpected way to the grown man up the sycamore tree. With grace and kindness, Jesus told the corrupt, unpopular man, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today” (Luke 19:5) amidst much protest from the people who saw Zaccheus as a ‘sinner’; but Jesus has a divine appointment with every sinner.
Jesus’ appointment with Zaccheus immediately changed his heart and attitude. The years of wrong dissolved and overjoyed, he promised to give half his possessions to the poor, and pay back four times as much to anybody he’d cheated. This is real redemption that everyone needs.
Only through His love and acceptance does Jesus change what we are unable to change in ourselves: the ‘Zacchaeus’ in society, as well the ‘good’ crowd. There is no one ‘too bad’, and no one ‘too good’ for Jesus to redeem. There are no tall people in Jesus’ Presence – we are all short – but a real experience of His redeeming power is waiting for those who climb the tree.
Prayer: Lord, what welcome words for us sinners to hear: Today your sins are forgiven; you, and your family, are true Believers. Thank You for Your mercy and transforming grace. Amen

The Word of God has a lot to say about forgiveness. It speaks about divine forgiveness, national forgiveness and individual forgiveness. It is linked with the Day of Atonement which is celebrated annually. There is also the unforgivable sin mentioned in the New Testament and our responsibility to forgive as we have been forgiven. Let us listen to what the Bible says about forgiveness.
This 21-day reading plan will show you what the Bible has to say about the importance of forgiveness.

14" 35.6cm | 21" 53.3cm | 11oz 311.8g | Rallidae | Gallinula galeata |
The Common Gallinule was recently known as the Common Moorhen, same name given to a very similar marsh bird seen in Europe. This name has gone back and forth a couple of times. Although, this freshwater rail-type bird has extra long toes, it is able to swim on water with ease. It can also walk across plant life on the surface of the water because of its very large feet.
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify and understand our fine feathered friends.

Tummy tuck surgery, also known as abdominoplasty, is a great way to regain the flat stomach you had when you were younger. Whether your excess skin is the result of recent weight loss or a former pregnancy, a tummy tuck can remove that skin and leave you with a stomach that reflects your current fitness level.
A tummy tuck can also be used to:
- Eliminate back pain caused by excess stomach mass
- Restore your body to its pre-pregnancy state
- Get rid of stretch marks after a pregnancy or weight loss
- Make your body look years younger
As you can see, the tummy tuck is a useful cosmetic surgery procedure with multiple applications. However, abdominoplasty also leaves a sizable scar after the surgery. Many of the patients who visit our Dundee offices are worried about the scar, and what it means for their dress options going forward. They want to know if they will still be able to wear a bikini, or a shirt that exposes their belly.
Questions like these are a big reason why it’s important to choose your cosmetic surgeon carefully. Every cosmetic surgeon knows that patients want the scar from a tummy tuck placed below their waistline, where it won’t show. However, the scar will almost always migrate upward after a surgery, after the skin heals and becomes more taut. Good surgeons, like Dr. Rifai at Birmingham Cosmetic, know how to compensate for this. Some surgeons do not.
If you want to ensure that your tummy tuck operation goes smoothly, have it done by Dr. Rifai at Birmingham Cosmetic. With over thirty years’ experience and thousands of satisfied former patients, he has a proven record of excellence in cosmetic surgery procedures of every type. If you live in Dundee, Birmingham, Southfield, or the greater Detroit area, set up an appointment with Birmingham Cosmetic today by dialing (248) 723-9370 today.

As we reach the height of Summer, sunny weather will see many butterflies on the wing – even in a dense urban area like Blackpool.
They are a very accessible form of nature – some are very distinctive and recogniseable, you don’t need to get up early or stay out late to see them and with a modest amount of effort you can attract them to you. You also don’t need special equipment as most species are quite approachable.
There are several ways to summarise the likely suspects you would see locally, I am going to tackle it by colours as they are the most obvious feature.
White butterflies – these include the Large White, Small White and Green-veined White which sound distinctive enough but can be quite tricky to see well and definitely identify. All are regular in gardens and parks. Early in spring another white species occurs widely locally – the Orange Tip being so named as the males have Blackpool appropriate tangerine splashed on the outer wing.
Two small blue butterflies occur around Blackpool – the Common Blue and the Holly Blue. These can generally be seen in different areas, the Common preferring grassy areas and the Holly Blue gardens and woodland. The latter also rests up on trees showing powder blue and black spotted underwings.
A number of brown butterflies occur on the Fylde. The largest and the most widespread of these are the Speckled Wood, which lives around trees and flies even in cloudier conditions, and the Meadow Brown which is a grassland species. The medium sized Gatekeeper is quite common whilst the diminutive Small Heath and Small Copper are quite localised. In contrasting fortunes the Wall Brown has declined massively locally, whilst the Ringlet has begun to spread in from outside the area. The localised White-letter Hairstreak which needs elm trees to feed from has one regular site – Devonshire Road Rock Gardens.
One brown butterfly merits a specific mention – the Grayling is a scarce creature locally on the sand dunes between Blackpool and St Annes. Uniquely among British butterflies it always lands with its wings closed only showing camouflage underparts, in 50 years I have never seen the upperwings of one properly.
The vanessids are a group of brightly coloured and larger butterflies. They include a number of common and well known species such as Peacock, Red Admiral and Small Tortoiseshell. Formerly scarce in these parts the Comma is also now very well established, a distinctive ragged winged species with the eponymous punctuation mark seen on the underwing at rest. Painted Lady are regular but in some years huge influxes occur having migrated from the south.
Two yellow species can be found on the Fylde but both are quite difficult to catch up with. The Brimstone is all yellow and wanders from neighbouring areas annually, whilst the Clouded Yellow has black borders to the wings and is usually very rare but can turn up in numbers in invasion years.
If you want to get more butterflies visiting your garden one way to virtually guarantee success is to cultivate a buddleia bush or two. The mauve flower heads are a magnet for just about all the species that visit urban areas, and large numbers may gather to feed on a single plant. If you aren’t a buddleia fan other options include aster, hebe, lavender and sedum.
Should you get a taste for seeing new butterflies a number of limestone dependent species can be found not far away in North Lancashire and South Cumbria, including nationally threatened ones such as the charmingly named Duke of Burgundy and High Brown Fritillary. A little closer to home the scarce Large Heath can be viewed on the lowland heath at Winmarleigh Moss. Even if you stay resolutely local Lancashire Butterfly Conservation welcome records of all species at http://www.lancashire-butterflies.org.uk/report/.

For business owners in Florida, succession planning can be a complicated process. If you don’t want your business to shut down after you retire, you need to choose someone who can take over as the head of the company. And choosing the right person is only half the battle. The other half is making the right decisions to ensure a successful transition of power.
How can you ensure that your successor takes control of your business?
Informing other people in the company about your decision may seem like a bad idea as they may want the title of CEO for themselves. But in fact, it’s a good idea to tell other people in the company about your succession plans. They’ll know what to expect from your successor and prepare themselves for the eventual transfer of power. This can make it easier for you as well as your successor.
There’s no specific business law that specifies when you should choose a successor, but it’s important to do it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you plan on retiring in the next few years. You need to give yourself plenty of time to prepare your successor for his or her new role and train him or her for the position. Otherwise, your successor will have no idea what to do after you’re gone.
Should you talk to an attorney about your succession plan?
An attorney could be an asset in all business decisions whether you’re choosing a successor or thinking about selling the company. A lawyer may provide important advice that helps you make the right decisions for yourself and your business. If a legal dispute ever arises, you’ll know that you have someone who can defend you in court. Plus, an attorney could protect you from lawsuits before they even happen.

Nimblewill (Muhlenberg Schreiber) is a warm-season perennial grass found throughout the Midwestern United States. It can often be mistaken for other mat-forming grasses. And it grows well in moist, shady areas. Also, it can found in dry, sunny areas. This grass spreads through short, weak stolons. Nimblewill creates patches in lawns that start off small, but then grow into larger patches.
This invasive forms mat-like patches in lawns as it spreads radially via short, weak stolons. It is usually distinguishable in cool-season lawns from its gray-green, coarse textured leaves. Patches may be observed during the summer months as cool-season lawns are stressed by heat and drought. It is also easily distinguishable as brown, dormant patches during the winter months. It is often confused with bermudagrass. This invasive grass often produces loose, spike-like panicles in late summer to early fall. Seeds on the seedhead will have long, hair-like awns that help further distinguish Nimblewill from bermudagrass.
There are nonselective and selective control options available for nimblewill. Usually, stoloniferous, perennial grasses are controlled by spot-treating with glyphosate (Roundup). For best results, apply when the plants are young and actively growing. However, it is capable of re-establishing through surviving stolons. At least two glyphosate applications are recommended. Three or more may be needed for complete eradication. It is important to allow the weed to regrow before making any follow-up applications. Two new herbicidesprovide selective control options for nimblewill in cool-season turf. These herbicides are applied at relatively low use rates and homeowners are encouraged to hire lawn care professionals to make applications.

If someone comes and tells me still that India is a philosophical country, I cannot but laugh out loudly. If at all, some Samaritan waxes eloquent on ‘nature’s justice’ I need to sneer at him. If any human believes and waits for ‘the mills of God to grind slowly but definitely’, I should feel sorry for him. The last two days events in the entire Tamil Nadu state wiped completely my faith in anything so-called ‘good’ begets ‘good’.
The death of a nonagenarian politician known for his rationalism, favoritism, nepotism, political chicanery above all introducing maximum corruption and the public is the case in point. The massive unruly mob gathered, the media’s high voltage response and coverage and the limitless encomiums showered on him by every other person proved the above. Factually, the old and haggard political leader had become more like a vegetable for the past one and half years and all his faculties had failed because of ageing. His followers gathered in large numbers outside the hospital where he was treated shouting ‘come back victoriously’ made me surprised. What will he do by coming back with all his faculties dead? Serve them? He didn’t do it when he was active in politics except that he took care of his large family by inducting his sons and daughter in politics and amassed wealth disproportionate to his income through cleverly crafted corrupt practices.
All the other state politicians came and honored him for nothing. Either he or the earlier convicted chief minister of Tamil Nadu had never maintained any cordial relationship with any of the neighboring states at any point of time. The politician’s banyan tree like family demanded a ‘specific’ place to ‘bury’ him. Why? Is it the place or the stature of a leader command respect or the place?
Even religious and philosophical gurus magnanimously offered condolences for his death though the deceased politician had only given derisive remarks and comments on them on many occasions.
All these apart, I wanted to know what exactly India’s philosophy, to live eternally or dead at one point of time? Scientifically death is inevitable. The only confirmed fact about any new born is that one day it has to die! Whether that infant becomes a king or pauper is based on luck.
In my life I have seen the most undeserving getting all the benefits of life while the deserving languish in problems and penury.
Philosophy and religion are escape routes for men and to cheat others as well as cheat self. India is emerging into the most corrupt and despicable, dirty nation with the ever increasing population.
If one expects justice from court they are fools because the Supreme court judges are loggerheads with each other. Further, we all know the God of Justice is blindfolded. So there is nothing called justice at least in this nation.
Do you expect Nature’s justice by God? Lol! That will be a bigger laugh! Our officials and sculptors have been stealing the statues of gods and goddesses and sell them to other countries stealthily for years! So someone who is a victim of man’s greed, how do you think he/she can give punishment?
We will only keep talking. Talk on these topics endlessly and fool ourselves for our entire life in the process of searching for nonexistent ‘justice’ and ‘God’.
In my view India is not a country, but a chaos!

Pasta making class in Florence
$41.85 per guest
$41.85 per guest
Revisit the traditional way of life in Italy. Join me in a pasta making class while on your trip to Florence.
I am near Fiesole, near the European University. My home where I will be hosting is cozy , warm and youthful
Our night with Monia and Emmanuel was by far our favorite experience of our visit to Florence. My husband, my mother, our 2 boys, and myself, were all welcomed so warmly by our very gracious hosts. We laughed and enjoyed learning how to make pasta with Monia and then enjoyed a beautiful meal afterward. Every single person in my family rated it as their favorite experience. If you have an opportunity to spend an evening learning, cooking, and eating with Monia and Emmanuel don’t hesitate to book an evening with them. We left with memories that will last us a lifetime.
Our cooking class with Monia and her husband was my favorite night of our entire week in Italy! We made the pasta from scratch and then used her spinach and cheese mix to make ravioli. Although making the pasta was fun, I honestly think the evening was so great because of Monia and her husband. They were so friendly and personable and we learnt so much about each others cultures that it made for a great evening. We were also surprised with wine, appetizers and desserts. We were there for about 4 hours and if we weren't so tired we probably would have stayed another 4! Fabulous evening!
We felt so welcomed from the moment we stepped into the house. The pasta making, eating and lovely dinner were fantastic. We could not have asked for a more fun, interesting and tasty experience. Our hosts made us feel welcome and like part of their family. This was one of the best nights of our time in Florence. Plus we can now take our new skills home and bring a bit of Italy back to England. We would have paid double what it cost as it was such an amazing experience and cost so little for what we got. We are very thankful for our lovely hosts and this opportunity! Thank you :). Joy, Chris, Silas and Georgia.
Where do i begin? Monia and Emanuelle welcomed us into their home with hugs and gave us the best evening of our trip to Italy. Their home is beautiful, cosy, and we made pasta from scratch on a wonderful setup in the living room. We shared some prosecco, some red wine, and some grappa throughout an evening of laughs and incredible food. She made us 3 different bruschetta style starters whilst her husband entertained us before moving onto the cooking course, and we then finished with a dessert that was as beautiful as the rest. Once all was done they called us a taxi and took us to the restaurant downstairs where we were greeted with one last drink to finish the evening. I can not thank them enough, i can not wait to go back and visit, and recommend this experience to anyone looking to do it. Chris & Izzy
Our evening with Monia and her husband was wonderful. We learned how to make traditional Tortello with different types of filling. She was very informative and helpful. Dinner was had with her and her husband over delicious appitzers and wine. We ate the pasta we made followed by desert. Thought out the evening great conversation with Monia and her husband on their culture and lives in Italy. Our first cooking lesson but a great experience overall. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a more intimate and personable experience.

With Pakistani models uniting to expose the designers who shamelessly get away after not paying their dues, one case has been brought to the limelight by a famous Pakistani model.
It is so good to see that models are finally beginning to speak out about designers’ behavior with them!
Recently, Pakistani model Anam Malik accused the internationally acclaimed designer Tena Durrani of not paying her for a recent photo shoot she did for her.
Tena Durrani, who ventured into the business decades ago, gained a reputation as Pakistan’s top designer and have worked with a number of Bollywood A-listers like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kangana Ranaut from her eponymous brand. But her strange behavior with local models just left everyone shocked.
Anam Malik took to her social media accounts and revealed the truth. She posted:
SO, I HAVE NEVER POSTED ANY STATUSES RELATED TO MEDIA ISSUES BUT I THINK NOW I HAVE TO BECAUSE; LOGON KO IZAT RAAS NAE HAI.
I HAVE DONE A SHOOT LAST MONTH WITH MY CO-MODEL AND A FRIEND FARWA KAZMIAND NOW THE DESIGNER IS NOT PICKING UP MY CALL. MUJHY SAMJH NAE AATA K KAREENA , KANGNA BOLLYWOOD STARS OR INTERNATIONAL MODELS OR ACTRESS KO DEYNY K LEYE PAYSY HAIN LEKEN HUMAIN DEYTY WAQAT MOUT PARTI HAI.
She went on saying that the designer is not even receiving phone calls. She added:
I AM A VERY PROFESSIONAL MODEL I COME ON TIME ALWAYS GIVE MY 100 % BUT MILTA YE HAI K YE DESIGNERS CALL PICK KARNA BHI ZARORI NA SAMJHTY. IT’S A VERY DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR.
The model did not disclose the name of the designer first but Umair Mirza dug out her name and posted it on social media.
The model was supported by a number of celebrities and praised for raising her voice.
Look what celebrities have commented!
Apart from celebrities, many took to social media and criticized the designer’s alleged behavior while some had their own terrifying tales of such behavior to share.
Have something to add to the story? Let us know in the comments section below.

Bridgwater Town Deal Board and Somerset Council announce the launch of their Bridgwater Events small grants programme.
Bridgwater has long been known for its incredible events such as Carnival and Bridgwater Fair. With areas such as Northgate, Brewery Field and the planned redevelopments, the town has never been better placed to invite residents and visitors back to its streets for both entertainment and culture.
As part of Somerset Council’s Town Deal funding from Government to regenerate Bridgwater town centre, funding has been allocated for a small grant programme to create new and exciting events in Bridgwater.
Grants are available from £500 and where an event shows unique creativity up to £10,000 to support organisations in their delivery of new events and activities that will draw people to the Town Centre and re-energise the town.
Cllr Ros Wyke, Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Prosperity, Assets and Development, said: “We are expecting a great deal of interest in these grants as there are many passionate and successful event planners across the town, but we also want to encourage new organisers. The aim is to animate the new and old spaces across Bridgwater in innovative ways; to encourage people into the town whether they be locals or visitors.
“Increasing visitor numbers and the time they spend in the town centre, whilst also diversifying the town centre offer and improving our arts, heritage and cultural assets will also give the community a sense of pride in the new places and view old spaces differently.”
Do you have an idea for an event in Bridgwater? Do you want to be a part of breathing life into the spaces of Bridgwater? Could you create something special in the heart of Bridgwater itself? For more information follow this link https://bit.ly/42sTuWI

TIMEX GG S.1 Automatic
TIMEX is probably the best known watch brand in the world, right next to Swatch. But let's be honest--TIMEX's "Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'" slogan makes it a bit cooler. And with over 15 of today's hottest watch brands under the TIMEX umbrella, including Versace, Ferrgamo and Guess?, chances are you're wearing one right now.
The Goal and My Role
The folks at TIMEX wanted to create a watch that paid tribute to Giorgio Galli, their creative director for over 20 years, and which embodied everything TIMEX stands for; essentially the TIMEX of Today, a modern classic, and--as we devised during the ideation process--the most 'TIMEX Timex' ever made. As part of the creative team from the outset, I wrote all content from the pitch to the finished marketing materials, bringing the GG S.1 Automatic to life with vivid, distinct copy that also upheld the characteristic TIMEX tone of voice.

The Department of Basic Education takes school safety very seriously and as an apex priority, the department has put in place various policies and measures to ensure the safety of all learners, educators and relevant stakeholders in schools.
The Department reiterates that there is no place for violence, drug use/abuse, sexual harassment, and other criminal acts in schools as it poses a serious barrier to learning. There is a great focus on the inculcation of values and ethics and of a just and caring society within schools and communities. The Department views these ills in a serious light because they carry the potential to deprive our learners of their inherent constitutional rights to life, education, equality and dignity.
Schools are critical in instilling discipline and ensuring safety, thus the emphasis on Codes of Conduct for Learners at all public schools. Schools are therefore directly responsible for providing an environment conducive to the delivery of quality teaching and learning by, among other things, promoting the rights and safety of all learners, teachers and parents.
A National School Safety Framework has been developed to serve as a management tool for Provincial and District Officials responsible for school safety, principals, Senior Management Team Members, SGB members, teachers and learners to identify and manage risk and threats of violence in and around schools. The Framework is critical in empowering all responsible officials in understanding their responsibilities regarding school safety
It is important for parents and communities to actively participate in addressing and promoting school safety. Parents and communities are well-positioned to see to it that children are safe wherever they are.

Imagine having the power to glimpse into the future. Even better, imagine being able to make precise predictions – predictions that not only unlock the concealed potential within your current and incoming data, but also economize your organization's time, money, and resources.
By implementing predictive insights, your organization can get ahead of potential issues before they cause problems.
Leveraging a system that understands how your organization's operations are expected to behave enables the prediction and resolution of faults in both physical and logical infrastructure.
Using data for predictive maintenance
Chances are, your organization possesses a wealth of data regarding its processes, so why not put that data to use?
The synergy between predictive insights and preventative maintenance is powerful, as it highlights system and equipment failures, among other things.
By utilizing both your historic and real time operational data, predictive insight tools can be taught the typical tolerances of your manufacturing system, such as levels of heat, humidity, and more.
Here's where it gets interesting. The next step involves evaluating the accuracy of various statistical models that these predictive tools can use and selecting the best model for your use case. These models are designed to identify or forecast events that deviate from the established 'normal' patterns.
Picture this: When such an event occurs, an alarm or notification is promptly generated. This serves as a valuable aid, guiding you and your organization towards early detection and maintenance actions.
By getting ahead of the curve and proactively adopting this approach, you can:
• Enhance efficiency through consistency
• Optimize resource management to minimize waste
• Reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures in technology and equipment
Exploring implementation strategies
Embarking on the journey to incorporate predictive insights and preventative maintenance into your organization involves strategic steps that pave the way for success.
Begin by identifying key areas where these strategies can make a significant impact. Consider how existing technologies can be seamlessly integrated to support data collection and analysis.
Collaboration among teams, from data scientists to operations personnel, will also be crucial to ensure a holistic approach.
As you navigate this arena, you should anticipate challenges such as data accuracy and model refinement. Fortunately, we can guide you through the process of mitigating them effectively.
Ready to unleash the full potential of predictive foresight?
Naturally, making the shift to an entirely new model and revolutionizing the way your organization gathers, processes, and employs its data can present initial challenges.
Adopting a new technology can involve additional work and in some cases, specialist expertise is required to fully utilize the data modelling.
We’ll work with your organization to demystify predictive insights technology, introducing the power it wields and explaining the potential pitfalls.
Unleash the power of your data and create a more predictable future with our Data Science and AI team. We not only showcase the potential of predictive analytics but also guide you in understanding how machine learning and AI contribute to streamlining processes.

I have an undergraduate degree from UC San Diego in Quantitative Economics and Decisions Science and an MBA from University of Michigan. Married to David Buck (my high school sweetheart), we have three sons in college. In addition to work and home responsibilities, I am actively involved in my community and church.
For about a decade, I worked in healthcare administration where I oversaw administrative, fiscal, and operational functions of grants management and clinical divisions. As part of a strategic development team, I also identified practices to either acquire or establish in key markets. My employers were University of Michigan Medical Center and PeaceHealth Medical Group.
The past twenty years have been centered on education for my own kids and students whom I teach. I substitute teach all subjects in middle and high school. I am especially partial to mathematics but enjoy all school subjects; I thoroughly enjoy the “A-ha!” moment when I teach students new material. I led a competitive math team for five years, advancing to and placing at state competitions each year. Students needing extra assistance with pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry and the SAT have sought tutoring support from me. I have done extensive personal research on SAT strategy and successful college application development, offering guidance to many students and parents over the years.
My college prep services offer great value to you and your student. For SAT prep, I instruct students on the best strategies for maximizing their scores. I create a process that removes the burden from the parent and provides structure and encouragement for the student. With college application preparation, I shoulder the burden with the student by reviewing application requirements, creating task lists and timelines, discussing essay topic ideas, editing essays, reviewing applications before submission, and garnering powerful letters of recommendation. In all, I tailor my services to the needs of your student.
Goals. Strategy. Process. Success.
I will take your student’s goals seriously, instruct on strategy, and create processes that ease burdens and foster production. Success is our shared benefit from hard work and commitment (sprinkled with fun and laughter as well).

India’s central bank lowered interest rates more than expected to bolster the economy as China’s slowdown threatens global growth and a commodity rout contains inflation.
Governor Raghuram Rajan cut the benchmark repurchase rate to 6.75 per cent from 7.25 per cent, the Reserve Bank of India said in a statement in Mumbai on Tuesday (Sept 29). The move was predicted by one of 52 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Forty two expected a quarter-point cut and nine saw no change.
«The weakening of global activity since our last review suggests that commodity prices will remain contained for awhile,» Mr Rajan said.
Stronger domestic demand is needed to substitute for weaker global growth, he said, adding that «monetary policy has to be accommodative to the extent possible» in current conditions.
«Investment is likely to respond more strongly if there is more certainty about the extent of monetary stimulus in the pipeline, even if transmission is slow,» he said.
Mr Rajan had faced growing pressure from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government to reduce one of Asia’s highest borrowing costs as Indian growth and price pressures slowed. Rajan is looking to keep inflation within 6 per cent by January, 5 percent a year later and near 4 per cent by early 2018.
Mr Rajan said the January target «is likely to be achieved» and «the focus should now shift to bringing inflation to around 5 percent» by March 2017. The bank will be vigilant for signs monetary policy adjustments are needed to stick to the deflationary path, he said.
«While the Reserve Bank’s stance will continue to be accommodative, the focus of monetary action for the near term will shift to working with the government to ensure that impediments to banks passing on the bulk of the cumulative 125 basis points cut in the policy rate are removed,» Mr Rajan said.
While markets have transmitted policy actions via commercial paper and corporate bonds, the median base lending rates of banks have fallen by only about 30 basis points «despite extremely easy liquidity conditions,» he said.
India also relaxed curbs on foreign ownership of its debt, giving global funds increased access to Asia’s best-performing bonds.
Consumer-price gains slowed to 3.66 per cent in August – below Rajan’s target for a 12th month as oil has tumbled below US$50 a barrel and global food costs fell.
The central bank projected consumer-price inflation at about 4.5 per cent in September, according to a separate report. The figure will average 5.8 in the first three months of 2016, below the target of 6 percent by January, and 4.8 per cent in the first three months of 2017.
India is a bright spot compared with other emerging markets, with economic growth set to surpass a decelerating China this year. The US move to retain near-zero interest rates earlier this month eased concerns of capital outflows.
The RBI forecast gross-value added growth at 7.4 per cent in the year through March 2016, and 7.8 per cent in the following 12 months.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told Bloomberg Television last week that inflation is under control and India needs lower interest rates. While Modi’s administration has taken measures to prevent a food-price spike caused by below-average rainfall, it has struggled to pass a national sales tax and backed off from plans to overhaul land and labor laws.
The benchmark stock index has fallen about 3 per cent over the past month and the rupee tumbled to a two-year low as exports continue to fall and India’s largest companies struggle to recover from a record drop in profits. Interest rate swaps had signaled a cut in the key rate to 7 per cent by year’s end.

Welcome to Capistrano Avenue Elementary School!
Our school is a wonderful place to be for many reasons. We are a small school with an enrollment of approximately 400 students which makes it a fairly unique experience for our students in that staff members become familiar with students very quickly. I feel privileged to be a part of such a remarkable learning community. In my service as principal, I take much pride in the fact that our staff works diligently t

Our curriculum is rigorous and challenging and will continue to be so with the alignment to the California Common Core State Standards. Through these standards, we are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that all students are college or career ready by the time he/she completes high school. Of course we understand that this process begins in elementary school! Our goal is to teach students to read and think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively both in an oral and written format, and to utilize technology in relevant ways. We make the commitment to equip our students with the tools they need to be thoughtful, responsible citizens who will be ready to take their place in our world! Our students experience their instruction in classroom environments that promote academic risk-taking and nurture a love of learning.
In order to be successful, students need support from both school and home. The Capistrano Staff is committed to working collaboratively with our parents to provide results oriented instruction that focuses on the growth and achievement of each student. We count on our parents to partner with us as we continue our mission to provide a world class education for each child. We encourage our parents to take an active role in the academic growth of their children by reading to their children, conducting rich and robust conversations in the car and at the dinner table etc. We also expect that our parents will encourage children to persevere in the face of challenges and never give up!
We want our amazing school to be a place where the voices of the parents and community are heard. If you have ideas, thoughts, or concerns you’d like to share, we’d love to hear them. You are always welcome to visit our school. Thank you for sharing your children with us!

Tata Power Associates With Zoomcar To Expand EV Charging Infrastructure In India
- Tata EZ charging stations are available in 350 cities across the country
- Tata Power's EZ Charge points will reflect on the Zoomcar platform
- The collaboration aims to promote widespread electric vehicle adoption
Tata Power and Zoomcar are teaming up to make electric vehicle (EV) charging easier and more widespread in India. Tata Power's EV Charging Solutions and Zoomcar’s collaboration intends to simplify the process of charging electric vehicles and address the challenges that can come with using charging stations. Moreover, Tata Power's EZ Charge points will reflect on the Zoomcar platform for existing and potential EV owners along with Zoomcar's customers.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Tata Power EV Charging Solutions Limited (TPEVCSL) and Zoomcar in Mumbai in the presence of Ashish Khanna, CEO, Tata Power Renewable Energy Limited; Virendra Goyal, Head Business Development, EV Charging, Tata Power; and Greg Moran, CEO and Co-Founder, Zoomcar.
Tata Power has a prominent EV charging network, including over 50,000 home chargers, 4370+ public and semi-public charging points, and 250 bus-charging points in more than 350 cities, even along highways. Their goal is to set up 25,000 charging points within the next five years. Meanwhile, Zoomcar boasts a tech-driven fleet of over 20,000 cars across India, Indonesia, and Egypt.
"This collaboration with Zoomcar is another milestone in our journey to speed up the green mobility transition in the country. As India’s leading EV charging infrastructure provider, we are constantly collaborating with industry partners such as Zoomcar to develop a technologically advanced and robust EV ecosystem in the country," said Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD, Tata Power.
In July 2023, Tata Power took a step to enhance the EV charging experience. They introduced an RFID card that lets EV users start charging by tapping the EZ CHARGE RFID card on any EZ charger location in the country. This move aims to simplify and streamline the process for users, making it convenient to charge their electric vehicles.

Hundreds Run in Buffalo Stampede
The inaugural Buffalo Stampede to support Timber Trail and Buffalo Ridge Elementary Schools attracted more than 530 runners on Saturday, November 13.
Two races, a 1-Mile and a 5K, wound through the streets of HOA #1 and HOA #2 beginning at about 9 a.m. Although the event was held under gray skies, the nip in the air didn’t wipe the smiles from the faces of the families enjoying the camaraderie of a morning run, jog, or stroll with neighbors.
Before the races began, participants enjoyed the warm-up events held in the Buffalo Ridge gym. They grooved to the moves and music of Soul Motion, a dance group from Highlands Ranch. Others had their faces painted or received tattoos, thanks to the volunteer efforts of local junior and senior high schoolers.
Then it was time to get rolling with the help of emcee Katie Trexler, CPN resident and anchor for Channel 7. Before all the runners and walkers were done, the sun had peeked out and warmed up even those who were struggling a little on the hills.
Event Chair Lesia Riehl reported that about $9,000 was raised to support Specials classes (music, technology, health and fitness) at the two schools. Sixty percent of the registrants represented Buffalo Ridge Elementary, and 40 percent represented Timber Trail Elementary.

Boyd’s victory gives Democrats 102 seats, the minimum needed to control the agenda in the 203-member House. The state Senate has a Republican majority.
A Democratic victory in the Delaware County district means first-term Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro will have at least one room to help push his agenda heading into the final month of budget negotiations. The decision could also affect a proposed constitutional amendment restricting abortion rights, which legislative Republicans want to put before voters as a House floor referendum vote.
Boyd is a former congressional and state legislative aide. His district was once heavily Republican, but in recent elections has given a solid margin to Democratic candidates.
Republicans entered the 2022 election with a 113-90 advantage in the state House, but Democrats flipped 12 seats.
Republican Michael Stender won a special election for a vacant central Pennsylvania seat. Stender, a Shikellamy school board member, firefighter and former EMT, was endorsed by former Rep. Linda Schlegel Culver, a Republican who represented the district before winning a state Senate special election earlier this year. Stender defeated Democrat Trevor Finn, a Montour County commissioner. The district also includes part of Northumberland County.

Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah mourn death of Iranian president
From CNN’s Mustafa Salem in Abu Dhabi
Pro-Iranian militant groups Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah have sent condolences to Tehran over the death of the country’s President Ibrahim Raisi.
Chairman died A helicopter carrying Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdullahian crashed in Iran’s northwestern East Azerbaijan province on Sunday.
Hours after their deaths were confirmed, a senior Houthi official, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, offered his condolences.
We express our deepest condolences to the Iranian people and the Iranian leadership. “The Iranian people will have leaders who are loyal to their people.
The president of Yemen’s Houthi-led government, Mahdi al-Mashad, sent a “message of condolence and condolences” to Iran after Raisi’s death.
He said his sincere condolences, deepest sympathies and solidarity with the Supreme Leader of Hamas and “the government of Iran and the brotherly Iranian people”.
“We hope that the Islamic Republic of Iran will overcome the consequences of this great loss with the help of Allah, as the dear Iranian people have strong organizations capable of coping with this severe ordeal,” Hamas said.
Lebanon-based Hezbollah compared Raisi to “Big Brother”.
“Hezbollah in Lebanon expresses deep condolences and sympathy for the loss of (Iran’s Supreme Leader, Iranian officials and Iranian people),” the group’s statement said.
“We have known the martyred president intimately for a long time. He was a big brother to us, a strong supporter, a staunch defender of our issues and the issues of the nation, especially Jerusalem and Palestine, and a defender of resistance movements.
Hezbollah, one of the Middle East’s most powerful paramilitary forces, has clashed with Israel in daily cross-border clashes since the war in Gaza began.
Iran has provided military and economic support to Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah.

UK inflation eased to 3.2% in March from 3.4%, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday, but the better-than-expected figures prompted investors to push back the timing of the first Bank of England interest rate cut. .
Economists polled by Reuters had expected an estimate of 3.1%.
Food prices provided the biggest downward drag on the headline rate, the ONS said, while motor fuels outweighed it.
Excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco, the headline figure was 4.2%, compared with a projected 4.1%. Services inflation, a key watchdog for UK monetary policymakers, eased from 6.1% to 6% – again above the expectations of both economists and the BOE.
This week, investors are watching for signs that the UK labor market is cooling, with unemployment unexpectedly rising to 4.2% between December and February. Wage growth Excluding bonuses, it fell to 6% in February from 6.1% in January.
BOE Governor Andrew Bailey said on Tuesday He found “strong evidence” that higher interest rates are working to moderate inflation, cooling from a peak of 11.1% in October 2022. The central bank's own forecast is that inflation will “decline briefly” to its 2% level. Aim for spring before increasing slightly.
But a stronger-than-expected March key axis of more than 4% is likely to fuel speculation that inflation is proving stickier than recent forecasts suggest, and the timing of the first interest rate cuts will move further down.
Market prices shifted on Wednesday, with most investors now seeing the first cut of 25 basis points from the current 5.25% rate in September or November, with only a 25% chance of a June trim.
Uncertainty has been raised over the path of central banks around the world, and given signs of continued inflationary pressures in the US, analysts are questioning who will step up ahead of the Federal Reserve.
Camille de Courcel, head of European rates strategy at BNP Paribas, told CNBC's “Squawk Box Europe” on Wednesday that the latest data showed the UK was moving “in the direction of the US” and added risk to her earlier call for June rates. Clipped from BOE.
Although the labor force data was a negative surprise, the ONS cautioned that its month-on-month figures could be skewed by systematic issues. That means the BOE's monetary policy committee will focus more on upside surprises in wage growth and services, de Courcelle said.
Few expect a sharp drop in inflation in next month's estimate due to the year-on-year impact of utility prices.
Ruth Gregory, deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said in a note on Wednesday that she expects the axis to fall below the 2% target in April, and if inflation continues to fall in the coming months, the BOE may still opt for a June cut. But the risks of US-style stickiness or inflation fueled by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are high, he added.
The British pound rose against both the US dollar and the euro following the announcement, gaining 0.3% to $1.246 against the greenback and 0.2% stronger to 1.172 against the euro.
UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt, who is gearing up for a national election this year, said on social media site X that the inflation data was “welcome news”.

California’s Most Recent Assault on the Second Amendment
The craziness keeps coming in Krazy Kalifornia. Newsom’s Proposition 63 and SB-1235 passed, further restricting ammunition sales; the continued assault on Second Amendment rights in California is a real peach; now, a consumer pays $19 for a background check (if you haven’t purchased a gun recently) for a $46.99 single box of ammunition[i], not including state and local sales tax. The result: making the ownership and regular use of firearms in the state a luxury for the privileged wealthy.
With the California Democratic Party often throwing out the accusatory phrase of “white privilege,” it would seem they disenfranchise low-income Californians of a basic Constitutional right. As if these laws weren’t class and racially divisive enough, you’ll be asked three questions: your place of birth, your phone number and your RACE/ETHNICITY. That’s right, I’m not making this up. You thought the issue of one’s race or ethnicity is a relic of the past? It’s not. Apparently California Democratic Lawmakers believe one’s race and ethnicity is an important data point when deciding to provide Californians access to a Constitutional right. Additionally, be prepared to wait a few weeks to find out if they will allow you to partake in the privilege.
Of course, the website provided by the California Department of Justice (“Bureau of Firearms”) is obscure, so best of luck determining whether you’ve been approved. Want to check on your status with the retailer? You’ll need to speak specifically with the “approved” clerk who can help with ammunition sales and who attended to you initially. He’s not in or on vacation? So sorry. Would you please re-book your hunting trip and call back at another time?

Our face is among the most vital part of the body. It shows our natural beauty and it is the one we use in handling other individuals. This is the reason we really have to look after it well.
Using the very best moisturize over makeup will assist your face substantially if you struggle with dry skin.
We need to keep our skin hydrated and hydrated all the time particularly our face. Facial skin is the most fragile and delicate part of the skin. We do not wish to have a dry facial skin do we?
You still have to select the ideal moisturizer for face after makeup that will work completely for the type of your skin. The very best moisturizer for face must not include mineral oil.
Yes, most of the moisturizers available in the market today have mineral oil as their primary active ingredient. I will inform you why you must prevent mineral oil. This mineral oil is a damaging component.
It can block the pores of the skin, strip the natural oils from the skin, and rather of hydrating, it will trigger skin dryness. It also hinders the skin’s natural capability to remove contaminants.
This is the reason that you should not buy items with mineral oils. You need to use moisturizer on face after application makeup.
What you need to think about when buying the very best moisturizer for face is to ensure that the item that you purchase includes natural components that can assist you in getting the skin that you always want. You can use items with avocado oil.
Avocado oil works with our skin. It is quickly taken in, so it can deeply hydrate your skin. It also will promote more collagen production. Collagen is the primary protein in the skin that assists to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines.
Grapes seed oil is another fantastic active ingredient to find in the very best moisturizer for face. It is an excellent anti-oxidant that can battle free radicals and preserve the natural health of the skin. Free radicals damage the healthy skin cells.
In spite of the billions of dollars in earnings the significant cosmetic companies generate each year, the items they make have little in them of any real worth.
You would believe that these solutions would be filled with the greatest quality active ingredients possible, however what you get rather are substances that not just will not repair your skin, however that might make the condition of your skin even worse.

A neatly fenced native wildflower garden next to Tina and Jeff Gleim’s long gravel driveway is the first hint of how the retired couple is slowly reshaping their 69-acre property by hand.
The oval-shaped garden began with a kit from the York County Master Gardener Program, complete with 49 native plants from seven species that bloom throughout the growing season to offer a constant supply of food for pollinators. Tina, a certified Master Gardener, ordered more plants to effectively double the size of the garden.
“Next year it’ll be even bigger,” Tina says.
Jeff laughs as he says they have to keep expanding the garden fence. Having obtained a graduate degree in environmental pollution control decades ago, Jeff’s career took a different path. Now, after a long career at a local paper mill, an array of stewardship projects is something of a return to his roots. Through their own steady handiwork, the Gleims are offering more and more habitat for native plants and animals on their land.
The couple is standing in front of the rural home they purchased 17 years ago, in view of several other garden beds they have planted. They are surrounded by several fields that were actively farmed until just a few years ago. Along fences are bird boxes that Jeff built and Tina painted. Hanging from their barn are bat boxes that Jeff also built. A hole in the barn leads to an owl box installed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Walking to a milkweed patch near the barn, Tina gingerly moves a monarch caterpillar from a denuded plant stalk to one with more leaves for it to eat. She and Jeff spot a kestrel perched nearby, and muse about the possibility of installing a nesting platform for the raptor.
In addition to their Master Gardener activities, Tina and Jeff both became certified Master Watershed Stewards in 2019. To do so, they attended 40 hours of training and had to perform 50 hours of volunteer service their first year, followed by 20 hours every following year to maintain their certification. Lately, those hours include helping build rain barrels—25 sold at an event the weekend before—and volunteering at a tree sale.
“I’m at, like, 480 hours anyway,” Jeff says. “I kind of overshot, but I like to do stuff.”
Providing habitat, while protecting water
The Gleims decided to stop renting out their land for corn and soybean cultivation when they determined that they were losing more soil to erosion than it was worth.
“When we took it out of the farming, the soil just didn’t seem to be healthy to me,” Tina says.
Instead of crops on one hill are young trees, some of which were grown from seeds Tina collected from river birch, eastern redbud and silver maples. Watered by hand using milk jugs, each tree has to be mulched and fenced for protection from deer.
“We only plant maybe six to ten new trees a year because it’s a lot to take care of,” Tina says.
They now wait until July to mow their fields, so ground-nesting birds can nest and fledge in peace. And if they see native plants returning on their own, they mow around them.
“I’d like to have that whole field down there, where it’s mowed, be just all native grasses and flowers,” Tina says. Though they haven’t pursued it yet, a new turf conversion program in Pennsylvania may help—the state has set a goal of planting 5,000 acres of meadow and 5,000 acres of forest by 2025, in order to improve water quality and offer habitat.
Tina and Jeff have also worked with the nonprofit Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring based at Dickinson College for almost two years. And they were the only volunteer participants in the York County Coalition for Clean Waters, a stakeholder group that is central to implementing the York County Watershed Implementation Plan, which is the county’s plan for meeting Chesapeake Bay Program goals for clean water.
Looking to the future, the Gleims are considering ways to protect their land forever.
“I’d hate to have to sell it and have somebody develop it,” Jeff says.
The couple is considering a conservation easement, which would limit construction of new homes on the property in perpetuity.
“I want it to be just like it is, or more natural,” Tina says.

What is the Affirming Ministries Program?
The Affirming Ministries Program is a network of United Church of Canada ministries of all kinds that strive to be fully inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities - and it asks each ministry to take action. The program was launched in 1992, and The United Church officially endorsed the program in 2000 and encouraged its ministries to participate. The program encourages all United Church bodies, and other Christian traditions, to study and discern what it means to be publicly welcoming and inclusive in their context. Currently, there are over 200 Affirming ministries and ministries in the process across Canada. Jesus’ ministry included all, and the Gospel calls us to do the same!
At the June 7, 2023 Christ First Council meeting, Council approved the formation of an Affirm Study Group to undertake the journey towards becoming an Affirming Church according to the program defined by Affirm United. This work is currently ongoing at Christ First, and we plan to bring this vote to the congregation in 2025.
If you have any questions throughout this process, or would like a representative from our Affirming Study Group to meet with a group that you are involved in, please reach out using the form below.
